Speaker 1: Coming up before eight o'clock.
Speaker 2: GB used a word recently to describe what living in
Speaker 2: Austin is like, and I've used it with several of
Speaker 2: my friends and they all say, oh my gosh, that's
Speaker 2: the perfect word.
Speaker 1: Tricia experienced it on Friday night.
Speaker 3: I don't even remember what that word was.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you a little bit. Okay, all right, we'll
Speaker 1: get to that in just a little bit.
Speaker 2: But first, Tricia and I had been invited to something
Speaker 2: this weekend that I initially had put.
Speaker 1: My foot down that I am not going to.
Speaker 2: And Tricia has kind of convinced me that maybe I I.
Speaker 1: Should go, not should go. But it's not as bad
Speaker 1: as I think.
Speaker 4: Not.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's what we initially thought.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 5: Number one, And I think you'll look like a real
Speaker 5: heel if you don't show up, because from what I
Speaker 5: can tell, you'd be the only dude not showing up.
Speaker 2: All right, what it is is a couple's baby shower.
Speaker 2: I thought I was well fringe, yes, gosh, well past
Speaker 2: my days of either one of us attending a baby
Speaker 2: shower of our friend, of one of our friends.
Speaker 3: Who's older than us, one of your friend's.
Speaker 1: Kids, right, nope, nope.
Speaker 2: One of our friends who's older than us is having
Speaker 2: a baby.
Speaker 5: What ps moved up his hip replacement surgery before the
Speaker 5: birth of the baby.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Our old neighbor dou Wa Daryl.
Speaker 5: Our daughter couldn't say Darryl. She called him dou Wa.
Speaker 5: So that's what we call him.
Speaker 1: What is he sixty three or four?
Speaker 3: Three sixty four having a baby.
Speaker 2: Having a baby, and having a couple's baby shower?
Speaker 1: Lait? How old is the demonish't younger?
Speaker 3: Late late thirties maybe yeah, and women are definitely having
Speaker 3: kids later yeah quite a bit. But yeah. But here's
Speaker 3: what I think it really is.
Speaker 5: I think them labeling it couples, I think they couple's
Speaker 5: baby shower messed it up. But now I understand why.
Speaker 5: So we lived out on the lake for like thirteen years.
Speaker 5: We have a whole community of friends out there, and
Speaker 5: our friend girl who's having the baby, lives out there too,
Speaker 5: and it's people out there that are throwing this shower.
Speaker 5: I think they called it a couple's baby showers, so
Speaker 5: it wasn't just for the girls, right, but also based
Speaker 5: on the fact that fifty seven people have already RSVP
Speaker 5: to be there on Saturday makes me think that it's
Speaker 5: really a party, a get together, because we know like
Speaker 5: twenty five of the people that are going to be there.
Speaker 4: At all fire people in the world at a certain
Speaker 4: age you thin the herd, and yeah, how do they
Speaker 4: know that many people.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised that it's that many people.
Speaker 5: But all it does is convinced me that it's not
Speaker 5: a bunch of girls or a small group of people.
Speaker 5: We're not going to be trying to figure out how
Speaker 5: big her belly is, using toilet paper rolls, or eating
Speaker 5: fig blindfolded, eating baby food trying to identify the flavor.
Speaker 3: It's not going to be that kind of a baby shower.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, it just happens at these things.
Speaker 2: It's what happens is the crowd just it's into the
Speaker 2: girls on one side and the guys are outside.
Speaker 3: That's what we are watching whatever sports.
Speaker 2: Yeah, watching the NHL playoffs this week, right, go Stars.
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm on the bandwagon all stars.
Speaker 5: He I think though, again based on the people who
Speaker 5: have rs VP, that they're going literally, of that group
Speaker 5: of our friends out there, you'll be the only guy
Speaker 5: not there. Can we take two cars no, no, no,
Speaker 5: Actually I don't care or not.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take two cars that way I can leave.
Speaker 5: You're not gonna leave. All your buddies are going to
Speaker 5: be out there. I guarantee there's probably barbecuing going on.
Speaker 1: I hope that should be consulting me.
Speaker 5: I hope our one friend brings that smoked salmon that
Speaker 5: he makes so good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, are.
Speaker 1: There on the list?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, Jim Brown was a big donator to bikes for
Speaker 1: kids back and then thank you big.
Speaker 4: So how did I mean have you talked to your
Speaker 4: friend about the I mean, what it requires is a
Speaker 4: child physically at its age.
Speaker 3: I think that's why he moved up his hip erplaces.
Speaker 4: I was thirty five when my daughter was born, and
Speaker 4: I felt that was caushionably.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I was thirty seven when we had Landry.
Speaker 5: Sandy was almost forty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was almost forty when she was born.
Speaker 4: And you were You were on the higher end right
Speaker 4: among the other dads, weren't you.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah?
Speaker 2: Our school with Landry and her friends were the oldest
Speaker 2: parents by far. Oh yeah, by far, the oldest by far.
Speaker 1: So yeah, a couple's baby shower, it's but it's.
Speaker 2: Not really a bab it's a get together of old
Speaker 2: friends celebrating the birth of Darryl's child.
Speaker 3: They should have called it a baby party.
Speaker 5: That's what they should have called it, not a couple's
Speaker 5: baby shower.
Speaker 3: Darryl and it's a girl.
Speaker 1: Oh it is.
Speaker 3: It's a girl. Yeah, they already do the big reveal party.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just know they know.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a side story here. Side story.
Speaker 2: Friend of ours is a guy that he's a we
Speaker 2: had some painting died at the house. And he's a
Speaker 2: guy we've known forever. It's a funny story. And uh,
Speaker 2: you know, you get to know people over the years
Speaker 2: and you catch up with him when they do work
Speaker 2: for you and stuff. And he was telling me that
Speaker 2: he he has five kids, right, and he's kind of
Speaker 2: getting the story about his daughter was graduating from college
Speaker 2: and all this stuff, and and I go, yeah, five,
Speaker 2: he goes, yep, four girls, And I immediately said wow.
Speaker 2: And he's a Hispanic dude. I go, man, four kingsoniras
Speaker 2: he goes, yeah, I know. Anyway, so he's telling me
Speaker 2: the story. He goes, so after the fourth girl, Uh,
Speaker 2: his wife got fixed. Okay, to not have any more kids.
Speaker 2: But then what it's.
Speaker 3: Called, Yes, you get dogs fixed.
Speaker 1: Well, tubes tied doesn't sound much better.
Speaker 2: It's a little better. Okay, So she got her tubes tied.
Speaker 2: Then she changed her mind one to have a kid.
Speaker 2: So they so, he said, so we went in vitro
Speaker 2: route to do it. And he said, he goes, he
Speaker 2: goes after four girls. I pay extra to put boy
Speaker 2: inside of her. He didn't care what I pay an
Speaker 2: extra for a boy.
Speaker 3: That boy is going to cost you less than the
Speaker 3: wrong long run, if you pay your gender.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, you're right. So anyway we're going. I guess
Speaker 1: I'm got what time is this? A Saturday?
Speaker 3: At noon?
Speaker 1: Noon?
Speaker 3: Noon on Saturday?
Speaker 1: All right? I hope their food's good.
Speaker 3: Oh it will be. I think it will be.

Speaker 3: Yeah, good luck Darryl, sixty five.
Speaker 2: Year old man with a baby, an infant. I just
Speaker 2: the thought of that, and anybody listening right now, yeah, is.
Speaker 1: Thinking the exact same thing.
Speaker 5: Oh and at some point we have to tell JB
Speaker 5: about our robot baby that Landry brought home over the weekend.
Speaker 2: Yeah, save that for tomorrow. Oh we haven't. Phil jen
Speaker 2: On Matt her growth and Development in the Road for
Speaker 2: a class. Oh yeah, I got to hear about that.

Speaker 4: guys that that you know, get remarried and it's a younger,
Speaker 4: much younger second wife and they have a whole second family,
Speaker 4: And I'm like.
Speaker 1: No way, I would say that for that. No, I'm out,
Speaker 1: absolutely not.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: Do I want another family? No?
Speaker 4: This first one about kill me, killed me, and i
Speaker 4: was one kid and one wife and I'm barely surviving that.
Speaker 3: To start all over again from scratch, no.
Speaker 1: Way, no way.
Speaker 4: Ah.
Speaker 2: Coming up a couple weeks ago, JB used the perfect
Speaker 2: word to describe what it's like to live in Austin.
Speaker 2: I've used that word with several of my friends and
Speaker 2: they all say that it's perfect. Tricia experienced it on
Speaker 2: Friday Night with her girlfriends. We'll tell you what that's
Speaker 2: all about. Coming up on Austin's eighties State three point one.
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, we were talking about what
Speaker 1: it's like to live.
Speaker 2: In Austin right now with all the construction going on
Speaker 2: and all of the road closures. It's like the city
Speaker 2: got this money approved to make improvements in Austin, and
Speaker 2: they said, let's do it all at once, every single
Speaker 2: bit of it, from north to south and east to west.
Speaker 2: Let's do it all at once. It inconvenience everybody at
Speaker 2: the same time, make it all painful. At the same time.
Speaker 4: We have purchased every orange barrel on Amazon in the
Speaker 4: entire world.
Speaker 2: And so JB had the perfect word for describing what
Speaker 2: it's like, and I used it. I was driving home
Speaker 2: from I was going from listen to this trip, played
Speaker 2: golf at Spanish Oaks on Saturday. Spanish Oaks to Cedar Park.
Speaker 2: That's a hall, right, that's a hall. And a buddy
Speaker 2: of mine was driving and I said, you know, JB
Speaker 2: used the perfect word to describe driving and living in Austin.
Speaker 2: The word is unmanageable. Yep, oh, that's Eddie's like, dude,
Speaker 2: that is the perfect world.
Speaker 5: That's what I said when you said it a couple
Speaker 5: of weeks ago, is like, that's.
Speaker 1: The word, right, And you lived it on Friday night.
Speaker 3: I did on Saturday night.
Speaker 5: Remember, I was supposed to go Friday night, but those
Speaker 5: crazy storms came through Friday, so we ended up going
Speaker 5: out Saturday night with a couple of girls to dinner,
Speaker 5: and it was beautiful weather. Those storms Friday night blew
Speaker 5: in this kind of cold front, like perfect outdoor weather.
Speaker 5: So we live in Cedar Park. My friend lives on
Speaker 5: South Lamar on Blue Bonnet Lane.
Speaker 3: Oh that's my daughter's neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's on a Saturday at four point thirty.
Speaker 3: It was an awful drive. It took over thirty minutes.
Speaker 5: For some reason, GPS routed me down Caesar Chavez to
Speaker 5: go across in up Lamar.
Speaker 3: When I was like, I.
Speaker 5: Was arguing out loud with my GPS, like, oh did
Speaker 5: you Barton Spree left Urn, Yes.
Speaker 1: I hate the power plant. That's the power plant. I
Speaker 1: never remember the name of that street.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 5: And at the last minute, when I could either go
Speaker 5: straight to the Barton Springs exit bart Hill's exit or
Speaker 5: take the Caesar Chavas exit.
Speaker 3: I was yelling. And as soon as I got.
Speaker 5: On Caesar Chavas that all the traffic got backed up.
Speaker 5: And then I was pissed at myself that I followed
Speaker 5: the GPS. But I got up and I did the
Speaker 5: little jig. I go up a couple of miles. I mean,
Speaker 5: Lamar is packed. Lights. The pedestrian lights make me nervous.
Speaker 5: People walk, you know what I mean. It was just
Speaker 5: a lot. We get there and we want to go
Speaker 5: to Laura. Have you been to Laura JB.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love Laura.
Speaker 3: That place is great, great outdoor seating, the Asian Fusion barbecue. Yes,
Speaker 3: it's so good.
Speaker 5: And it was perfect whether to sit outside and I
Speaker 5: am not an outside eater by any stretch. So we
Speaker 5: get in the car, back in my car because I
Speaker 5: was my car was most convenient. We drive down Lamar.
Speaker 5: Takes us well to get down it. We get in
Speaker 5: that parking lot and the line is unbelievable. The wait
Speaker 5: is over an hour and fifteen minutes. Everybody had the
Speaker 5: same idea. Then it took us about fifteen minutes just
Speaker 5: to get out of the Laurel parking lot back on
Speaker 5: the Lamar and we just finally just settled for Maddis
Speaker 5: right there by Lamar Union.
Speaker 3: Oh, the old, the old Madi. I love that Maddis.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's fun. I love at the feel of that Modis.
Speaker 5: It looks exactly the same as it always has.
Speaker 4: That that bar has like five seats. Yeah, so tiny,
Speaker 4: brother lot, my brother in law, Carston is one of
Speaker 4: them all the time.
Speaker 3: Really, I wonder if he was there. He sat on
Speaker 3: the path. John the bartender there and makes a mean margarita,
Speaker 3: big old guy with a beard.
Speaker 5: No, yeah, guy real tall, Okay, so big. It was
Speaker 5: definitely a tall guy for some reason my brain he
Speaker 5: had a beard. But we sat on the patio watched
Speaker 5: the Kentucky Derby, which was great, but they had the
Speaker 5: volume turned down, which is a higher level of difficulty
Speaker 5: understanding the derby when you can't hear the horses name
Speaker 5: is being called. And they all look the same color
Speaker 5: because the track was wet, so they're all covered in mud.
Speaker 2: But let me ask a question about this as we
Speaker 2: discuss kind of difficult unmanageable it is to live in US.
Speaker 2: Let's say that tomorrow all the traffic, all the road
Speaker 2: projects were done.
Speaker 1: Is life better some of it?
Speaker 4: Because like what Tricia's talking about with when they're building
Speaker 4: a whole new complex apartments and condos on Lamar, which
Speaker 4: they're doing everywhere, every all the task property, they take
Speaker 4: the whole lane. I don't know if you have to
Speaker 4: have a certain number of feed of buffer, which is
Speaker 4: what it must be to construction a setback. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: it must be something because they're blocking the lane and
Speaker 4: you're like, why is this whole lane block?
Speaker 3: And it's not like you can put up.
Speaker 4: A you know, twelve story apartment complex overnight.
Speaker 3: It's a two year process. Yeah, it's a long time.
Speaker 1: It's bad.
Speaker 4: I know my daughter's lease is she's near that area.
Speaker 4: It's up in July, I think early July, and she's like,
Speaker 4: I gotta get I gotta get away from South Lamar.
Speaker 3: I can't kill it.
Speaker 5: It's a little bit more intense than other areas in
Speaker 5: the downtown, right, That's what it felt like to me.
Speaker 3: And I used to live over there.
Speaker 5: Never even thought twice about it, but it seemed so
Speaker 5: much more intenseing.
Speaker 2: Insult the injury for you coming home to Mopek to
Speaker 2: one three shut down.
Speaker 5: Mopak goes to one lane at one three one lane,
Speaker 5: it's like ten thirty at night. I just was like,
Speaker 5: kill me now. And then Sandy has this amazing trick.
Speaker 5: I almost hate to talk about it because that's something
Speaker 5: nice about me. No, because then everybody's going to use it. Geez,
Speaker 5: calm down. If you are stuck on Mopak, if you
Speaker 5: can get off at the Steck eggs it. There's a
Speaker 5: dedicated lane that goes from the Stack exit and it
Speaker 5: is one lane. You stay in that inside lane and
Speaker 5: it takes you straight onto the one eighty three flyover.
Speaker 5: Like it's a huge hack for about what a half
Speaker 5: a mile that you don't sit in traffic. And I
Speaker 5: got lucky and did that at the last second, or
Speaker 5: else I'd still be sitting in that traffic I think.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a barrier between you and mopak that lane, JB.
Speaker 2: You can't No one can merge over to that lane.
Speaker 2: It's just like an express lane if you get off
Speaker 2: a Mopeck at Steck and you just zoom right up
Speaker 2: to one eighty three.
Speaker 3: Now everyone's going to do it, I know. Now we're
Speaker 3: going to get stuck out there.
Speaker 1: Now we get a bunch of hate messages. Why did
Speaker 1: you tell everybody? Why'd you do that?
Speaker 3: But I was so happy.
Speaker 5: I was sitting in traffic, and I was like, thank
Speaker 5: god I went to the bathroom before I left your house.
Speaker 5: Like it was just nothing but a sea of tail pressure.
Speaker 1: What nuts had Margarita?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did.
Speaker 1: It was good.
Speaker 4: Now, why do you cee your park people not use
Speaker 4: the train? That you that we built for.
Speaker 2: You, because because then it stops at the convention Center
Speaker 2: and you got to walk to wherever you're going from.
Speaker 3: There, you got to get all up in the town.
Speaker 4: Austin taxpayers put that in for all your Cedar Park people, stupid,
Speaker 4: dumb to.
Speaker 3: Help you guys go to town.
Speaker 4: I paid for that so the macleres could go downtown
Speaker 4: have a sandwich.
Speaker 3: And you don't use it. It pisses me off.
Speaker 2: I got to explore do you need Like do you
Speaker 2: even know where to get it from here?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: Where would you go to get it?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I mean we can jump off at the crossing that's
Speaker 5: right by our house, jump right on there.
Speaker 3: That's the only place I ever see it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even know where to get on it
Speaker 2: or how to get a ticket.
Speaker 3: I don't either. I have no idea, no clue whatsoever.
Speaker 3: I challenge you both to take the red light rail
Speaker 3: downtown sometimes.
Speaker 1: All right, will you pick me up at the convention Center?
Speaker 4: No crowded, manageable to get there if.
Speaker 1: You're just joining.
Speaker 2: You know, she missed out on a lot of great
Speaker 2: stuff today, including the ACL lineup which you talked We
Speaker 2: talked about JB's massive bruise from his cycling accident, which
