Speaker 4: is your your big giant hair balanced out the wide
Speaker 4: shoulder pads.

Speaker 2: We used to joke that we knew that it was
Speaker 2: Code it was us Grand Prix time out at Coda
Speaker 2: because there was an orange Lambo that showed up every
Speaker 2: single year, and you'd see it just driving around Austin.
Speaker 6: Screaming around town. Yeah yeah, right through the RPMs big time. Yes,
Speaker 6: I still get that on on the South Congress down
Speaker 6: where I live. You still get the you get the
Speaker 6: Lambos screaming up and down the road.
Speaker 2: Didn't you say there's a there's like a crazy motorcycle
Speaker 2: culture down there too, or burn it?
Speaker 6: They Yeah, it's It's one of those things that you
Speaker 6: used to only see in La where you'd see a
Speaker 6: mob of people dirt bikes and four runners just kind
Speaker 6: of taking over the streets and doing wheelies and up
Speaker 6: and down Congress. I mean, it doesn't bother me. When
Speaker 6: they do the takeovers and they block the streets, that's
Speaker 6: a problem. But if they're just APD put a clamp
Speaker 6: down on that, yeah, mess around with that. But I
Speaker 6: see a lot of them just hot dogging around. And
Speaker 6: now I'm seeing a bunch of groups of younger people
Speaker 6: on e bikes just as like a little social ride,
Speaker 6: and they're doing wheelies all around town. But not like
Speaker 6: the bicycles like e motos. They're more of a hybrid.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, okay, there is a wheelie club in Austin.
Speaker 5: Did you know that?
Speaker 6: Oh man, I'm so jealous. That is I've never been
Speaker 6: able to do a wheelie and I it's just something
Speaker 6: I've always wanted to do and never learned it as
Speaker 6: a kid or anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was fraid to do it.
Speaker 2: Check out their insta it's five to one to two
Speaker 2: Wheelie Crew. You'll love this, JB. You'll love this. It's
Speaker 2: just cool. Videos of them in and around Austin with
Speaker 2: their bikes. They've got like neon on their tires and
Speaker 2: stuff and in their frames and they're just riding wheelies
Speaker 2: and having fun on their bicycles.
