Speaker 4: you guys are out doing until one o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2: At some point you also it's just not really a
Speaker 2: little off topic, but you you get to a point
Speaker 2: like I don't want to feel like crap in the morning,
Speaker 2: I know, I just want to wake up and feel
Speaker 2: good instead of being hungover or exhausted from our sunburned
Speaker 2: from the data. Yeah, that's the thing at sunburn, you know,
Speaker 2: is there anything worse? At some point in your life,
Speaker 2: you start applying sunscreen, right right, It's like.
Speaker 6: Because the thing, I'll add another layer.
Speaker 1: Waking up and you have the backwards hat tan line sunburn.

Speaker 4: sitting on the floor, Oh.
Speaker 2: Can't get up, boy, that was a harsh reality of
Speaker 2: parenthood when I was I was forty when our daughter
Speaker 2: was born, and that's when you discover getting up and
Speaker 2: down off of the ground gets harder and harder. Oh
Speaker 2: my gosh. So I think we could do this all
Speaker 2: day long. Yeah, we probably annoyed a few people. Some
Speaker 2: guy out there is like, damn, I didn't know that
Speaker 2: about the test tube shots.
Speaker 3: Had one at Chili's last night.
Speaker 2: Chili Trisia says changes coming to a sixth Street are proposed,
Speaker 2: changes are actually happening. It's a plan that's coming up
Speaker 2: in the story We love in just a moment real quick, Trisia,
Speaker 2: I got to give you some kudos to your creepy
Speaker 2: massage places. One of my friends took your recommendation and
Speaker 2: went and he's kind of, uh, is there.
Speaker 3: If there's such thing as a massage snob, he's one
Speaker 3: of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, yeah, So he went to one of your
Speaker 2: creepy Tell what a creepy place is?
Speaker 4: We call when my friends and I go, do you
Speaker 4: want to go get a creepy We're talking about going
Speaker 4: to get a massage in one of those weird kind
Speaker 4: of iffy places and a strip center that it just
Speaker 4: has a neon sign that says foot massage and darked
Speaker 4: out windows. Yeah, I can't see in when you walk in.
Speaker 4: It's always real dark. They're creepy places. So we called
Speaker 4: those kind of massage just creepies.
Speaker 1: But the reason you go is because they're affordable and
Speaker 1: not like a production right.
Speaker 6: Nice, like a high end salon. Right yeah.
Speaker 2: And the way the wather you go to, they have
Speaker 2: their licenses hanging on the wall. They're legit. So anyway,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean some of the licenses.
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, who didn't print out a fake vaccine card?
Speaker 6: True?
Speaker 3: True?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 2: Anyway, he went to the place that you recommended and
Speaker 2: said it was the best massage.
Speaker 6: She's ever had. I told you that a creepy for
Speaker 6: half the price.
Speaker 4: Half the price of when you go in to one
Speaker 4: of the you know the ones you have to have
Speaker 4: a membership to get into, or in a nice hotel.
Speaker 4: Incredible massage is half the price.
Speaker 3: He said.
Speaker 2: He goes, I like a deep tissue massage, but he goes,
Speaker 2: there was two or three times where I felt like
Speaker 2: I needed to tell her to lighten up. He's like,
Speaker 2: he said, I didn't. I suffered and suffered through it,
Speaker 2: but I got through it anyway.
Speaker 3: So there you go. You have been validated.
Speaker 1: Thank you always if you found any creepies like where
Speaker 1: they walk on you and stuff this place, this place,
Speaker 1: and then they like do the what's the wrestling move
Speaker 1: where you do the elbow bilbo drop?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'll bring your leg up. You'll be slaying
Speaker 4: on your stomach and they'll take your foot and touch
Speaker 4: the back here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe choke me out a little bit, like that's
Speaker 1: the next step.
Speaker 2: The stories we long from the Lestra Hot Studio D one.
Speaker 3: The only that's making the promo. Maybe choking out the level.
Speaker 6: Just a little, just a little.
Speaker 4: You getn't no one to stop, but that's just enough
Speaker 4: to get.
Speaker 6: The fear in my eyes.
Speaker 3: That's all. I'll tap what's going on on sixth Street?
Speaker 4: Okay, so let's set the scene a little bit. When
Speaker 4: you think of sixth Street, dirty sixth Street? What called
Speaker 4: dirty sixth Street when we are down there, right, but
Speaker 4: it is now No, it wasn't until West sixth evolved
Speaker 4: that we started calling.
Speaker 6: Yes, dirty six.
Speaker 4: Had comparison, and now there's East.
Speaker 6: Six which is quite a thing.
Speaker 4: But anyway, go ahead, Yeah, But I mean you think
Speaker 4: about like those cobblestone streets and the sidewalks, and for
Speaker 4: a split second like, oh, it sounds nice, but then
Speaker 4: you realize Rick, Then you realize that all of those
Speaker 4: cobblestones and bricks are covered in years and years of
Speaker 4: spilled beer and vomit and gross and bodily fluids. Right,
Speaker 4: And so the shootings that have happened, there's been like
Speaker 4: fourteen shootings in the last I don't know, ten fifteen years.
Speaker 4: Two people have died. It has not got a great reputation.
Speaker 4: A bunch of the bars that closed during COVID did
Speaker 4: not come back. What was that the Irish one we went.
Speaker 3: To before COVID. Shakespeare's no.
Speaker 4: Edie Riley Birdie Dog Bar, Easy, Tiger all closed.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I don't know, but right now you're sitting down there,
Speaker 4: you feel like you got a dodge when you drive
Speaker 4: down the street. A lot of vacant stretches of.
Speaker 6: Four clubs and.
Speaker 3: Six street country Clubs still their.
Speaker 1: Four clubs and wine one price.
Speaker 3: Come on in.
Speaker 4: Sounds like one of those late night commercials where they
Speaker 4: sell you stuff loose. Wow, that's a flat right, that
Speaker 4: is a flashback. I'd forgotten about that. Maggie Mays on
Speaker 4: life support asking for GoFundMe to keep it open. So
Speaker 4: there is a Dallas based developer called Stream Realty. They're
Speaker 4: going to turn it all around.
Speaker 2: That's exactly what we need, say Dallas base anything in Austin.
Speaker 3: No is cut them off at Waco.
Speaker 4: I don't think we're gonna be able to do that
Speaker 4: because since twenty twenty, they've amassed about sixty percent of
Speaker 4: the real estate between Brazos and thirty five. And what
Speaker 4: they are planning they're rebranding Dirty sixth to Old sixth
Speaker 4: and they are planning on widening the sidewalks, taking it
Speaker 4: down to three lanes, cleaning it up. There for sure
Speaker 4: has to be a powerwasher involved in this process. They
Speaker 4: are going to line the streets with hotels, cafes, boutiques,
Speaker 4: local retailers, local offices, and they're trying to make sure
Speaker 4: people don't get shot down there.
Speaker 1: So I'm backing up into the last year. This was
Speaker 1: a city initiative to clean up six straight two because
Speaker 1: to make it safer, because with a bigger Yeah, and
Speaker 1: they wanted they wanted more retail and other types of
Speaker 1: businesses other than shot bars right right right now drinking. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm summarizing. I could have some of this wrong. But
Speaker 1: the city was relaxing some rules on development because it's
Speaker 1: very historic right that the buildings, the height of the buildings,
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, how do you decide when to
Speaker 1: relax and when not.
Speaker 6: To relax the rule the rules.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that was a thing like a year ago
Speaker 1: where the city was trying to help, uh be a
Speaker 1: little more adaptive to these buildings changing and becoming more retail.
Speaker 6: I don't see it. There's a lot of other places
Speaker 6: for retail right other.
Speaker 4: Than in that particular spot. I agree. They they took
Speaker 4: the building height limits from forty five feet to one
Speaker 4: hundred and forty five feet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they can go up now, right, Yeah, they're
Speaker 1: trying to go up. I don't know. It's downtown. I
Speaker 1: don't see this. It's dirty sixth streets. It's our Bourbon Street.
Speaker 1: It's always going to be. It's always going to be
Speaker 1: gritty and rough and right.
Speaker 4: But the difference between like our dirty sixth Street is
Speaker 4: people are afraid of it. New Orleans not necessarily clean
Speaker 4: on Bourbon Street, but people still go there because has.
Speaker 6: The Charmion Street. Oh really, yeah, Bourbon Street.
Speaker 2: So I just did a quick quick search here, and
Speaker 2: I asked, what was Sixth Street in Austin, Texas, like
Speaker 2: in nineteen fifty All right, geez, seventy five years ago,
Speaker 2: about like it is now. If you want to know
Speaker 2: the truth, it's a Sixth Street was historically one of
Speaker 2: Boston's key commercial cores blah blah, blah blah. By nineteen fifty,
Speaker 2: hour of the street was experienced a noticeable decline, transitioning
Speaker 2: from its bustling early twentieth century heyday to a seedier,
Speaker 2: less phosphorous area. Full circle is what's happened here?
Speaker 3: Yeah huh?
Speaker 2: And then, of course I thirty five came in nineteen
Speaker 2: fifty nine and that was they say part of the
Speaker 2: shift of Sixth Street, so rise of shopping centers and
Speaker 2: all that kind of st Yeah.
Speaker 4: So well, Stream Realties plan is to start installing these
Speaker 4: new businesses by the end of twenty twenty six and
Speaker 4: continuing the cleanup and expansion and rebranding through twenty twenty
Speaker 4: seven and twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1: I wish I'm like, that sounds risky to me, yeah,
Speaker 1: but so so if you clean it up. So South
Speaker 1: Congress used to be the dirty creator, yeah, Hookerville, right,
Speaker 1: and drugs and all that. So if you clean it up,
Speaker 1: they just go somewhere else. Whatever scene we clean up
Speaker 1: on Dirty six, it will go somewhere else where to.
Speaker 3: Become someone else's problem.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean where does it go?
Speaker 2: I mean the South Congress when it's far north is
Speaker 2: Runberg now.
Speaker 3: Exactly that area now? Uh yeah, I don't know where
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 1: So when you think of Dirty six, I think of
Speaker 1: your twenty one to twenty.
Speaker 6: I mean you outgrow it by twenty five, right.
Speaker 1: Oh god, I mean it's your young, gritty shot, bar rowdy.
Speaker 6: They'll just go somewhere else.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: If they clean that up and it becomes stores and
Speaker 1: boutique hotels or whatever. They'll go somewhere else. It's just
Speaker 1: somebody else. Maybe beda will be. Where are all the
Speaker 1: bachelorette parties going to go?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: Who? Where are the girls gonna go wearing their trs
Speaker 4: full of tiny penises? Is that going to be the
Speaker 4: new place? That's the only place you can do that
Speaker 4: right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're Austin has become the bachelorette capital of America.
Speaker 2: Austin and Nashville the other one that is huge for
Speaker 2: bachelor att parties.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see what happens to Dirty six.
Speaker 2: No matter what, no matter what it'll be, I guarantee
Speaker 2: you it will be slowed down by a what do
Speaker 2: they call a survey when they look for insurgent stuff, environmental.
Speaker 4: Lives on there that we didn't know about.
Speaker 2: That that's going to slow that now always does go
