Speaker 2: Never sounded so good.
Speaker 3: One O three one Austin dot com.
Speaker 1: All right, thanks for being with us. It's the JB
Speaker 1: and Sandy Show. I'm Sandy and this is JB. Hello,
Speaker 1: trisis here as well.
Speaker 4: Hi, everybody.
Speaker 1: In a way, we go find us on Instagram at JB,
Speaker 1: Sandy atx and Oh, by the way, I didn't have
Speaker 1: a meeting about this or a conference call, zoom meeting,
Speaker 1: team meeting or anything.
Speaker 5: But I went ahead and set us up a TikTok
Speaker 5: account too. Oh I saw that on slack. Oh we're
Speaker 5: going into We're going into TikTok world. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 5: I was kind of avoiding that one. Yeah, person, I.
Speaker 1: Kind of have to on purpose because of the what
Speaker 1: you agree to when you get an account.
Speaker 3: And then well what even oh you mean the privacy
Speaker 3: thing and all that. Yeah, yeah, I didn't mean that.
Speaker 3: It was just like it was more about, oh, another
Speaker 3: social channel. Yeah, that one does seem to be on
Speaker 3: the rise, where I would say Facebook is definitely on
Speaker 3: the slide.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I've also read that.
Speaker 1: TikTok is way more generous in pushing out your content.
Speaker 1: It is not as stringent as Facebook and Instagram is.
Speaker 2: They're very there. Their algorithm is much more to liberal.
Speaker 4: Like, sure, we'll post that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll push it out to everybody.
Speaker 4: Let's see what happened.
Speaker 1: Right instant and I had something weird on our YouTube channel.
Speaker 2: They ever seen this?
Speaker 6: JB.
Speaker 1: I posted a video, just a short on YouTube, and
Speaker 1: I was like, in exactly, I know this because it
Speaker 1: said twenty two minutes later after I posted the video,
Speaker 1: we had one point five thousand views twenty two minutes later, Okay.
Speaker 1: And then when I got up yesterday morning and looked
Speaker 1: at it, our number our views had gotten down to
Speaker 1: one point too.
Speaker 2: I'm like, how's that happen? Unwatched it.
Speaker 3: I guess it's funny because I've I've looked at like
Speaker 3: analytics and stuff for people I was helping with social
Speaker 3: media stuff, and it's it's always a perfectly round number
Speaker 3: four zero point fives. Yeah, so I have so much
Speaker 3: smoking mirrors there.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 1: And anybody that tells you they know what they're talking
Speaker 1: about whose last name isn't Zuckerberg.
Speaker 2: They're lying. They I know, no one knows, right, No.
Speaker 1: One people out there hustling social media business. They don't
Speaker 1: know any more than you and I do, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, They just they don't. So anyway, I
Speaker 1: saw an interesting question on the Austin reddit thread, and
Speaker 1: Tricia and I have quite a bit of experience with it.
Speaker 1: It's it says, what's it like to fly out of
Speaker 1: the south terminal at ab I A.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you in one word, wonderful. Amazing, Yeah, wonderful.
Speaker 1: So a lot of people may not know this, but
Speaker 1: there's a very very very small one gate terminal on
Speaker 1: the other side of the runway at Berkstrom.
Speaker 2: You go around. Have you ever been where like the private.
Speaker 1: Jets and stuff where they meet where they meet their
Speaker 1: airplanes and stuff.
Speaker 2: Right side, So on that side.
Speaker 1: There is a very small, little south terminal that it's
Speaker 1: if you ever saw the TV show Wings, yeah, back
Speaker 1: in the day. It's very very much like the Wings airport.
Speaker 1: There's one ticket gate and you go in and there's
Speaker 1: no there security, but there's never a line, never anybody there.
Speaker 7: You park right there, yep, don't have to pay. I mean,
Speaker 7: it's well, I guess you did immately. But you park
Speaker 7: right there and you just walk across the parking lot
Speaker 7: and you walk right into the terminal and you go
Speaker 7: right through.
Speaker 1: And it's old school JBS. You have ever seen airports
Speaker 1: where you have to walk outside and then get go
Speaker 1: on the steps up to the airplane. Yeah, there's no jetway,
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. And they've got really good tacos
Speaker 1: at that taco truck.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Santa gets all excited about the tak I've.
Speaker 3: Never flown out of that, so it's just like one
Speaker 3: one of the carriers using that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was Frontier and Allegiant, and we flew Allegiant
Speaker 1: a lot because they had NonStop flights to Omaha that
Speaker 1: were super cheap, and so we would fly out of
Speaker 1: that terminal often.
Speaker 4: And it was race so simple.
Speaker 7: There's none of the craziness of trying to find a
Speaker 7: parking place in the giant garages or deciding how far
Speaker 7: out you want to park, and then the huge line.
Speaker 7: I mean, it was just like literally within five minutes
Speaker 7: you're at your gate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but unfortunately that's closing down that South terminal. I
Speaker 1: don't know the exact date when that's happening, but it
Speaker 1: is shut it down. They're going to use it for
Speaker 1: something else, and they're going to make the Allegiance they
Speaker 1: were going to make move to the main terminal there
Speaker 1: like now peace out, we're done, Allegiance gone. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then Frontier, I think, is moving over to the other side.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: They couldn't give a Agent or Frontier, one of them
Speaker 7: their own dedicated gate. So really basically every time they landed,
Speaker 7: they'd be like, Oh, what gate are we going to now?
Speaker 7: Which because it's so big at the main part of
Speaker 7: the airport. God, it was so convenient and so easy.
Speaker 1: Now I've read the airport is expanding again, right, that's
Speaker 1: I think that's why they're I think they're tearing that
Speaker 1: down because they're expanding and they're having to use.
Speaker 7: That area for more runway or more maybe more buildings
Speaker 7: or something out there.
Speaker 3: I mean, there was construction going on when I was
Speaker 3: there last week. I don't know what it was, but
Speaker 3: there's definitely construction going on.
Speaker 2: But it'd be nice if they could put a train
Speaker 2: track out there and you could take the train.
Speaker 1: To the airport. No kidding, that would be nice, right.
Speaker 1: So anyway to answer that Reddit, person's question. Yeah, flying
Speaker 1: out of the South terminal is awesome, and it's not
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it's not gonna be here for much longer.
Speaker 2: Nope, which is a bummer.
Speaker 1: Coming up today, Trisia is gonna fill us in with
Speaker 1: some news. She's got the story we Love in just
Speaker 1: a little bit.
Speaker 2: What do you have?
Speaker 7: I'm gonna let you guys in on the new parking
Speaker 7: code enforcements that we've been given three months worth of
Speaker 7: warnings for now they're finding you if you do.
Speaker 2: It all right, stay with us. The Story we Love
Speaker 2: is next.
Speaker 1: Listening to the JV and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty station,
Speaker 1: what three point one?
Speaker 2: Tristan's got the story we love in just a moment?
Speaker 1: Well, I managed to escape the day yesterday without a
Speaker 1: phone call from the Secret Service.
Speaker 7: We're exposing the Governor's mansion vulnerabilities, the security vulnerabilities at
Speaker 7: the Governor's mansion.
Speaker 1: If you didn't hear that, grab the podcast version of
Speaker 1: the show. In fact, I think that one's titled Sandy
Speaker 1: is fully expecting a call from the Secret Service for this.
Speaker 2: You'll get the full explanation there.
Speaker 1: Search JV and Sandy on the iHeartRadio the stories we
Speaker 1: love live.
Speaker 4: From the Lester Holtz Studios.
Speaker 7: It's Trisha Delicia.
Speaker 2: That's our baby girl.
Speaker 4: I'm sixteen years old, lady.
Speaker 7: So according to the city, warnings for parking code violations
Speaker 7: that began March first have now switched to enforceable fines.
Speaker 7: You're going to pay. You were given some warnings if
Speaker 7: you didn't learn, now you're going to pay. And JBI
Speaker 7: chose this story because one in particular, I think you're
Speaker 7: going to be very happy about. Blocking a signed or
Speaker 7: marked bike lane is a fifty to seventy five dollars fine, even.
Speaker 2: For food delivery people.
Speaker 7: They do have some leniencies in place for food delivery
Speaker 7: for us.
Speaker 3: That's not going to that's that. So I live in
Speaker 3: Travis Heights and I use the Congress Avenue bike lanes,
Speaker 3: and you can't use those by lanes there is it's
Speaker 3: all filled with Uber and Lyft pickups and Favor and Uber.
Speaker 4: He's it equipment loading and unloading.
Speaker 3: It's out of control. And then they you know, it's
Speaker 3: such a mess down there. You know, they built all
Speaker 3: those fancy stores, you know during COVID, all the high
Speaker 3: end stuff and music lane, although that didn't really catch
Speaker 3: on did it, and there's there's nowhere for them to
Speaker 3: load and unload. So you got these eighteen wheelers on
Speaker 3: Congress Avenue just trying to get their stuff in there.
Speaker 3: It's a mess, and so there's going to be someone's
Speaker 3: going to get killed, hoppy, because you if you're on
Speaker 3: a bike, you got to get go out into traffic
Speaker 3: to go around the cars. And then there's people going
Speaker 3: in and out and food delivery drivers running in and out.
Speaker 2: Someone's gonna get hurt.
Speaker 1: So is the bike lane like literally the lane behind
Speaker 1: the parked car or in front of the parked car
Speaker 1: on Congress Avenue.
Speaker 6: Back into your spot, right, so the oh yes, yes,
Speaker 6: right okay, And then so people are then just hogging
Speaker 6: that lane to drop off their ramo or pick up
Speaker 6: their food or whatever exactly.
Speaker 7: They're saying that there is clarity on delivery and passenger
Speaker 7: zones and like music equipment drop offs and stuff like
Speaker 7: that regarding bike lanes as well. So I don't know
Speaker 7: what that clarity is, but it sounds like you're saying
Speaker 7: a fine isn't really gonna People are probably just betting
Speaker 7: that they're not going to get caught in the three
Speaker 7: minutes that it takes them to rent in and drop.
Speaker 3: Off the de they we you know, we've passed all
Speaker 3: these added bike lanes and people are using it as
Speaker 3: it's they see it as a loading zone. Yeah, oh
Speaker 3: I'm out of traffic. I'm in a bike lane. Right,
Speaker 3: it's kind of made it worse.
Speaker 1: Actually, Oh jaman, you've been riding bikes in Austin for
Speaker 1: thirty years? Has it gotten better or worse? Because I
Speaker 1: mean back eventually worse. I was going to ask from
Speaker 1: pep By. People are just like individuals?
Speaker 2: Are they more?
Speaker 1: Are they nicer now than they used to get a
Speaker 1: bunch of rednecks back in the day?
Speaker 2: That? Yeah? That as the off the road? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Are there is there more tolerance for the cyclist?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Probably.
Speaker 3: I could probably thank all the the scooter people for that,
Speaker 3: because we hate them.
Speaker 1: They hate the people. The bike people are off the hook.
Speaker 1: We hate the scooter people.
Speaker 3: It's like all the people on electric devices that are
Speaker 3: not a bicycle are now a public enemy number one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So now we're off the hook a.
Speaker 3: Little bit, We're more and more loved, like oh luck,
Speaker 3: he's peddling.
Speaker 2: Wow, But has the tolerance gotten better?
Speaker 3: I would say that the tolerance and acceptance is better,
Speaker 3: but the congestion is obviously worse. And then it's like
Speaker 3: I said, we passed all these measures to put in
Speaker 3: additional bike lanes, but people see that as a loading zone.
Speaker 2: It's that part of it is worse.
Speaker 3: It was safer riding on South Congress without when we
Speaker 3: didn't have a bike lane.
Speaker 1: Can I think you mentioned electric bikes and stuff. Can
Speaker 1: I tell you something that really pisses me off? And
Speaker 1: I think it's bad parenting. If you have a fat
Speaker 1: kid and you give them an electric.
Speaker 2: To day, if your kid's over.
Speaker 1: And you get them an electric bicycle, they should CPS
Speaker 1: should take the child away from you.
Speaker 2: I'm serious. I see it all the time.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm like, that kid ont to be pedaling
Speaker 1: that bicycle.
Speaker 2: Child Protective Services should be running at them on a bike.
Speaker 2: Yet on any bike, on.
Speaker 1: A bike, it shouldn't be allowed, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You know, the kid needs to pedal the bicycle.
Speaker 7: I mean I don't, Yes, I mean I asked you
Speaker 7: about it one time, Jbi, and you're like, sometimes you
Speaker 7: get a little tired, and it's nice to be able
Speaker 7: to go without actually pedaling, but at some point like,
Speaker 7: I don't think anybody really pedals them ever, from what
Speaker 7: I can see, I don't ever see anyone pedaling an
Speaker 7: electric bike.
Speaker 3: Some some countries they have to be pedal assist, like
Speaker 3: I probably like in Netherlands, you know, yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 3: one of the main parts of the world like that,
Speaker 3: where everyone rides a bike. I think some of those
Speaker 3: have to be pedal assists to use a bike line
Speaker 3: or anything like that.
Speaker 2: Now they make them in mountain bike versions too, right
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's cool. You can E road bike and E
Speaker 3: mountain bike. You can get anything.
Speaker 1: Because you can just see much more of the trail
Speaker 1: that way with the little cover, a lot more ground.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, don't put your fat kids on one.
Speaker 7: When you said can I say something, I was like,
Speaker 7: don't see it, don't see it.
Speaker 2: Stick around.
Speaker 1: We got more coming up on Austin's eighties station what
Speaker 1: O three point one, it's the JV and Sandy Show
Speaker 1: and you can now save us as a pre set
Speaker 1: on the iHeart radio app It's Austin's eighty station What
Speaker 1: O three point one.
Speaker 2: Apparently our convention.
Speaker 1: Center one nice enough one't good enough, so they're scraping
Speaker 1: the sucker making a new one tearing it down. It's
Speaker 1: the JV and Sandy Show. Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 1: This is Trisha over here. She chimes in every once
Speaker 1: in a while, sometimes with a funny here and there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and I couldn't believe Tuia, did you say
Speaker 1: that convention Center was built thirty two years ago?
Speaker 7: Thirty three years old? I'm certain in my mind it
Speaker 7: was built like twelve years ago. It does not feel
Speaker 7: like it's been thirty three years.
Speaker 3: They've added to it and improved it, for sure, they've.
Speaker 2: Done a lot to it. Yeah, I kind of right.
Speaker 1: I remember like being yeah they did add on to
Speaker 1: it or do something because everyone was worried about ironworks. Remember,
Speaker 1: oh that's right. Yeah, they're like iron work's going to
Speaker 1: go anywhere? Like no iron works still there? What are
Speaker 1: the few places you can get to be for it?
Speaker 1: If you can find a place to park, true, it's
Speaker 1: like parking lot.
Speaker 2: Can't find a place to park. But they're spending how
Speaker 2: much JB on this one point six billion? Say they
Speaker 2: are spending? We are spending. Yeah, they spend dollars. They
Speaker 2: spending our tax money.
Speaker 7: You're spending it through hotel occupancy tax and convention Center
Speaker 7: revenues and they make a lot of money doing all
Speaker 7: that stuff.
Speaker 2: You know who this san Antonio. San Antonio hates this.
Speaker 3: They were they were the Texas Convention Hapital for a
Speaker 3: long time and up until recently, I think it was
Speaker 3: like a three year wait list to get the convention
Speaker 3: Center or something like that to get a date in Austin.
Speaker 3: I don't know if what this expansion does to it,
Speaker 3: but hey, I've you know, I've seen a couple of
Speaker 3: renderings and some you know, stuff like that. It it
Speaker 3: looks pretty damn cool and it is a lot of money.
Speaker 3: But you know, for a lot of people, that's their
Speaker 3: first real Austin impression.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the airport and the convention center.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they come in. Airport's done a fine job. I
Speaker 3: think we had one of the cooler airports in the country.
Speaker 3: Same thing, you know, they get and they go straight
Speaker 3: to the convention center for some packet pickup and they're
Speaker 3: going to be there for a few days.
Speaker 2: It's one of your first impressions. It's pretty important.
Speaker 1: Hey, did you made me think of something jab when
Speaker 1: you mentioned the airport and the conventions there has Austin
Speaker 1: given up on the whole guitar thing. They were the
Speaker 1: guitars thing. Statue things were.
Speaker 4: Just that were randomly around Austin.
Speaker 2: Are we done with that? Is that because there's one
Speaker 2: at the airport.
Speaker 4: They moved I think they moved them all to the airport.
Speaker 2: I think it was.
Speaker 3: It was a big fundraiser where they different artists or
Speaker 3: groups made those, and then they were auctioned off.
Speaker 2: Those ones that.
Speaker 4: Are outside they're inside like baggage claims.
Speaker 2: No, but I'm talking around the city. There's some that
Speaker 2: are outside too. Yeah, it meant. And then there was
Speaker 2: a cow thing.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, Chicago kind of stole it from Chicago, right right,
Speaker 3: But they're you know, they were like my down the
Speaker 3: street from me, one of my neighbors has one of
Speaker 3: them that they bought one of those art auctions.
Speaker 2: They have one of the big painted cow in their yard.
Speaker 4: That's funny.
Speaker 2: That's what's cool about four there's still some funky people
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: They then keep it in the front yard. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1: You just never know anymore. You can't put that in
Speaker 1: your front yard.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're gone. Those they were ten foot tag guitar sculptures.
Speaker 7: They were public arts projects sponsored by Gibson guitar and
Speaker 7: they were auctioned off really a half a million dollars
Speaker 7: for four local charities. This is way back in like
Speaker 7: two thousand and seven.
Speaker 1: I thought that was an ongoing thing in Austin. They
Speaker 1: would keep putting them up. So if you know what
Speaker 1: Austin needs to do, I love this idea. Steal it
Speaker 1: from a buddy of a buddy myn named Detroit who
Speaker 1: does a morning radio show. He went on a campaign
Speaker 1: for years to get streets in Detroit named after musicians,
Speaker 1: like he got Bob Bob seeger Way, you know, and
Speaker 1: then he got all the motown He's He's single handedly
Speaker 1: like went to the city council put the plan together.
Speaker 1: How cool would it be in Austin to have a
Speaker 1: bunch of streets named after local Austin bands?
Speaker 2: Right? It is? They did change second to Willie Nelson,
Speaker 2: but no one says.
Speaker 1: That, right, right, But I mean it'd still be cool
Speaker 1: to just go local local, like Willie's a global thing,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: But if you had.
Speaker 4: Bob Schneider Street, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Bob Schneider Avenue, that'd be kind of cool.
Speaker 3: No one likes it, although if I was, I've gone
Speaker 3: back to Detroit. I would be really embarrassed to say
Speaker 3: I live on kid Rock Parkway.
Speaker 4: I think it makes it cooler.
Speaker 2: I like it, you know, because we named a bunch
Speaker 2: of stuff after trees. You see that trees? Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: I think it'd be great.
Speaker 3: We need to we need to lean into this music
Speaker 3: thing more before it fades.
Speaker 1: So who would we put? Okay, we got Willie? Who
Speaker 1: would our first street? Who would we name it after?
Speaker 1: What musician from Austin would we name a street after? Well,
Speaker 1: it's for sure, Stevie.
Speaker 2: Ray, right there, you go, Stevie. That would be the
Speaker 2: first one.
Speaker 4: We got a willy one already.
Speaker 2: I saw a.
Speaker 1: Picture of Jimmy Vaughan the other day and like a
Speaker 1: promo photo of him. And do you guys remember Seana,
Speaker 1: the guy that used to comb his hair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's his promo picture. Bill does it? It's just
Speaker 2: the rockabilly look. Yeah yeah, yeah really.
Speaker 3: I used to bump into him all the time when
Speaker 3: he lived in Westlake. I think he moved out to
Speaker 3: Drip or something, but yeah, he rocks the pompadoor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gary, you're gonna say Gary Clark Jr. Gary Clark Junior,
Speaker 2: definitely have a street.
Speaker 4: Shaky Graves.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, Oh, are y all right with Kinky Friedman?
Speaker 2: Kinky's dead. He's from al Paso. I don't know.
Speaker 7: Notable Austin. I mean you're saying people who are from Austin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, made their bones here. Let's do that, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean? Made their name here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they may not have been born here. Yeah, that'd
Speaker 5: be a fun project. I won't We'll never do anything
Speaker 5: with it because it's too much work.
Speaker 4: Jerry Jeff Walker. Let's give him a street guy.
Speaker 2: Clark Jeff Walker. That's a good one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I say, not like Janis Joplin is synonymous with Austin.
Speaker 5: It's from Port Arthur, but she's made her name here.
Speaker 5: Rocky Ericson, Yeah, from thirteen Towns. That was from Fort Worth, Texas.
Speaker 2: But I mean Daniel Johnston, Hi, how are you? Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Daniel Johns. There'd be a bunch of names to
Speaker 1: make streets. I mean, that's way better than Levaca, you.
Speaker 5: Know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Right, it's way better than Colorado.
Speaker 3: I mean, if you want to go, well, oh you
Speaker 3: could do Charlie Sexton. Yeah, Christopher Cross.
Speaker 4: And he lives here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Chris Cross.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we's almost died, he almost died during COVID.
Speaker 1: I think, oh, okay, but it's still with He's still
Speaker 1: still sailing, sailing away. He's got such a long way
Speaker 1: to go, I know, to make it to the border
Speaker 1: of Mexico.
Speaker 2: So he's gonna run right like the wind. Great song, though.
Speaker 4: Such a good song that makes me want to listen
Speaker 4: to it right.
Speaker 1: Now, right, so all right, let's let's put a pin
Speaker 1: in that. Okay, we'll have a meaning about that later
