WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:05.519
<v Speaker 1>These stories. We law lie from the Lesterhold studio. Here's

2
00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:07.559
<v Speaker 1>Tricia Delicia.

3
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:11.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, So Governor Greg Abbatt signed a recently passed

4
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.279
<v Speaker 2>bill into law on Sunday that bans k through tell

5
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:16.719
<v Speaker 2>students from using their cell phones or any other personal

6
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:22.399
<v Speaker 2>communicating devices in school during the day. They can either

7
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.000
<v Speaker 2>each school can choose to either just ban it in

8
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:27.879
<v Speaker 2>the classroom or they could actually choose to ban it

9
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:31.199
<v Speaker 2>from the entire school campus. I know that a couple

10
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.399
<v Speaker 2>of high schools did this, like tested it out this

11
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.679
<v Speaker 2>past year and teachers immediately said they noticed a difference

12
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.079
<v Speaker 2>in students paying attention and in grades.

13
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 1>So it is now a law.

14
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 2>Even though the twenty twenty five twenty twenty six school

15
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 2>years a few months away, there will be no cell

16
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 2>phones at schools anymore.

17
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to bet right? This is all about enforcement.

18
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 3>This is this is one teacher that doesn't want to

19
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 3>play by the rules and doesn't care what They're not

20
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:02.119
<v Speaker 3>going to do anything to her or.

21
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like hands free law.

22
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 4>But how often do you see people messing with their

23
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.640
<v Speaker 4>phones and it doesn't get enforced.

24
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.599
<v Speaker 1>It firsta got one, it is in a school zone

25
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 1>out Oh that was expensive. It was very expensive.

26
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I was sus when Landry was smaller, and I was

27
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:24.439
<v Speaker 2>late getting home, and I was calling the babysitter to

28
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.079
<v Speaker 2>let her know I'm running a little bit late. I

29
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 2>didn't realize I was in a school zone and I

30
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.799
<v Speaker 2>was on my farm. No, I was over like a

31
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 2>oldtorf and lamar area right in there. And as soon

32
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 2>as I was on the phone, not speeding, just in

33
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.239
<v Speaker 2>a school zone, and an officer and a motorcycle passed me,

34
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.840
<v Speaker 2>and as soon as our eyes locked, I instantly realized

35
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 2>what I was doing.

36
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:50.959
<v Speaker 1>And he pulled me over. And I told him.

37
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I go, I know why he pulled

38
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 2>me over. I totally did it. I'm so sorry. I

39
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.280
<v Speaker 2>get it. And he was like shocked that I was

40
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.239
<v Speaker 2>admitting it, and he was like, yeah, I have to

41
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>be a ticket for this.

42
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't have the discretion to not give it to you.

43
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.319
<v Speaker 1>And it was like a four hundred dollars ticket, maybe

44
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:10.439
<v Speaker 1>be doubled in school z own kind of thing.

45
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah, Well, getting back to the phones in schools.

46
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.000
<v Speaker 3>I think the reason Trisia is so alleviate, so happy

47
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 3>about this is because our daughter wears her out on

48
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:24.280
<v Speaker 3>text messaging during the school day.

49
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>It's like, are you supposed to be in class? Yeah,

50
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>but then she'll suck me in.

51
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.520
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell her I'm not going to like, don't text

52
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 2>me during class, you can text me in between, But

53
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.759
<v Speaker 2>then I kind of lose track of what time it

54
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.639
<v Speaker 2>is and she'll text me something, Mom, guess what happened,

55
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>And I'm instantly all what, and I get sucked in

56
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 2>and then I'm initiating text to her. It's very confusing.

57
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:49.919
<v Speaker 2>So I think it's gonna help a lot. Also, they're

58
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.199
<v Speaker 2>saying that it's supposed to help with their mental health

59
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.439
<v Speaker 2>and social media. Not being on it, you know, during

60
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.080
<v Speaker 2>the school day also grades obviously, But yeah, I think

61
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 2>it would totally depend on which teachers actually enforce it,

62
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 2>which schools choose to enforce it.

63
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm all for it, though, I think it's smart.

64
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't believe that they allowed it to begin with.

65
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 4>Then, I know my daughter's twenty three, and I choose

66
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:15.439
<v Speaker 4>really that first generation to have it in like middle

67
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 4>school on Like, yeah, very destructive.

68
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:19.599
<v Speaker 1>Very destructive.

69
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 2>They will allow students who have documented health their safety needs,

70
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>who need their devices to keep them obviously emotional support

71
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.599
<v Speaker 2>phone I guess, so.

72
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:35.120
<v Speaker 1>What are you so? What could possibly qualify for that?

73
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, some kids who have diabetes, they're ye, this

74
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.479
<v Speaker 2>monitor is sent to their phone stuff like that.

75
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

76
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.280
<v Speaker 3>So hey, it'll be a different school year this year.

77
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.240
<v Speaker 3>We'll see what happens. Maybe the kids will rise up

78
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.759
<v Speaker 3>and revolt, you know, and they're like no, no, no.

79
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 1>I wonder what the teachers think. I bet they're relieved.

80
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Probably so do you know that? I've told our daughter.

81
00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:58.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, do you know that I got through my

82
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:04.400
<v Speaker 2>entire school career with no cell phone and was still

83
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:05.919
<v Speaker 2>able to get a hold of my mom if I

84
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:06.360
<v Speaker 2>needed to.

85
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.639
<v Speaker 1>I survived. You can survive if you don't have a

86
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:10.159
<v Speaker 1>cell phone.

87
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.039
<v Speaker 2>You'll just have to tell me all the gossip about

88
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.080
<v Speaker 2>the girls after you get home from school.

89
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>She just can't comprehend. We also survived with going to

90
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>school without a water bottle. Yeah. Yeah, wateruntains are gross,

91
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:23.759
<v Speaker 1>is what she says.

92
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, somehow we didn't collapse in the heap of dehydration.

93
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 4>Remember those I bet you had them too, Those homemade

94
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.600
<v Speaker 4>troths they'd make for track and football and all the

95
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:39.360
<v Speaker 4>outdoor sports.

96
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

97
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they to a garden hose to like a plumbing

98
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.720
<v Speaker 4>pipe shooting water out, and everybody run up, pulled their

99
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:55.000
<v Speaker 4>helmet off, and gather around like cattle. I remember that.

100
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we all survived somehow, we did, right.

101
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:02.319
<v Speaker 3>It'll be interesting to see what happens with the schools

102
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 3>this year with no cell phones at school.

103
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of happy about that, to be honest with you.

104
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:11.480
<v Speaker 3>Coming up next, uh, Austin and Georgetown received some big

105
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 3>travel awards. We're going to tell you about that, So

106
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.839
<v Speaker 3>stay with us. It's coming up on Austin's eighty station.

107
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.120
<v Speaker 3>What three point one brain today? Only thirty five percent

108
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.680
<v Speaker 3>in a high today of about ninety degrees, while the

109
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.920
<v Speaker 3>rest of the country is just dying when this heat wave.

110
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.879
<v Speaker 3>We are cooler than normal if you ask me, with

111
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.000
<v Speaker 3>only a high of ninety degrees.

112
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I saw some parts of it.

113
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:35.720
<v Speaker 3>There was one I think it was a Missouri that

114
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.720
<v Speaker 3>a street just buckled because it was so hot.

115
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>The heat index was like one hundred and eighteen or

116
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:41.839
<v Speaker 1>something like that.

117
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and a car was driving over it at the

118
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.639
<v Speaker 2>exact moment it buckled and launched the car into the air.

119
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was very strange, but only it.

120
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.319
<v Speaker 4>I like the early early triple digits here where you

121
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:55.920
<v Speaker 4>see a lot of new Austinites Buckle.

122

123
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>here so bad. You didn't know this was common, did you.

124
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they didn't tell you this when you were here

125
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 3>for south By Southwest, did they know?

126
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>They never help that out of the visitors package.

127
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.639
<v Speaker 3>For sure that it's one hundred degrees for five months

128
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:17.199
<v Speaker 3>of the year in Austin, But it doesn't stop Central

00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:40.720
<v Speaker 3>Label, they're going to have Instagram They're going to regret

155
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.879
<v Speaker 3>being named that, probably because they're going to have Instagrammers

156
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:45.199
<v Speaker 3>all over them.

157
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:50.759
<v Speaker 4>Oh really Yeah, Like I see people lying, there's always

158
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.000
<v Speaker 4>always someone in line at that I love you so much,

159
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 4>such a simple thing.

160
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>And then there's that one that looks like an Austin postcard.

161
00:07:58.519 --> 00:07:58.959
<v Speaker 1>That is that.

162
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:04.240
<v Speaker 4>What is that Monroe in South First took me forever

163
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:05.439
<v Speaker 4>to figure out where that one was.

164
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:09.439
<v Speaker 1>It isn't the high How are you? That's on the drag? Right? Yeah?

165
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:12.399
<v Speaker 4>That building is completely torn down and they left that

166
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.759
<v Speaker 4>one wall it will be part of when they rebuild

167
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.000
<v Speaker 4>all that. And he's I don't know if you've been

168
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:21.639
<v Speaker 4>on the drag lately. But it's they've done well. The

169
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:26.439
<v Speaker 4>whole Scientology thing has been rebuilt. And then but closer

170
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.000
<v Speaker 4>to downtown of that, they're redoing a whole block by

171
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:33.039
<v Speaker 4>the Catholic Church there where the WO barbershop and the

172
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.000
<v Speaker 4>dorm was a lot of people say Wooten in college

173
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:37.440
<v Speaker 4>in the eighties.

174
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.200

175
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:43.159
<v Speaker 4>Block's being redone and all that's left standing is the

176
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:44.679
<v Speaker 4>high How are you wall Yeah?

177
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.320

00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:48.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

179
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Cool.

<v Speaker 1>The Amphitheater we've just talked to. Yeah, we were just

186
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.840
<v Speaker 1>talking about Waterloo Park. It's nice revamp there.

187
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:17.080
<v Speaker 2>In Georgetown, the best small to mid sized bar is

188

<v Speaker 1>on the Square.

191
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:32.120
<v Speaker 2>It looks super cool, very like intimate, kind of dark

192
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:34.639
<v Speaker 2>and moody, which I like that. The Two Step in

193
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Country Festival named best Music Festival.

194
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they got a bunch of rain last year for

195
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:42.840
<v Speaker 1>that too. That sucked for them, that's really yeah.

196
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.200
<v Speaker 3>Quick question for you, JB. What was it like It

197
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.360
<v Speaker 3>was Georgetown like that when you were growing up there?

198
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:52.639
<v Speaker 4>Hell no, we didn't have anything to do except throw

199
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:58.240
<v Speaker 4>rocks at each other and cruise and avoid cops. We

200
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.639
<v Speaker 4>would cruise in our cars, you know, could we could

201
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:04.519
<v Speaker 4>buy old muscle cars for like a few grand back then,

202
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:08.000
<v Speaker 4>and we'd cruise between the Sonic and the Mister Gaddies.

203
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:11.879
<v Speaker 1>Like on a drag or like on a loop or something.

204
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:13.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was a loop because you you'd have to

205
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.000
<v Speaker 4>go down Maine and take and then take, you know,

206
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.759
<v Speaker 4>head out towards what's now Lake Georgetown to go to

207
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:23.200
<v Speaker 4>buy mister Gaddies. Like Georgetown wasn't there. We didn't have

208
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:28.840
<v Speaker 4>that where it was Six Booties, Fourth Booties. That's late Georgetown.

209
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:31.639
<v Speaker 4>That's that's where we would meet outside of town. Like

210
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.840
<v Speaker 4>the cops didn't know it was called. We referred to

211
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:36.600
<v Speaker 4>it as Fourth Booties. I don't know how it got

212
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.879
<v Speaker 4>that name, but it was like, you know, it was

213
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.799
<v Speaker 4>very meeting up at fourth Booties was very dazed and

214
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:47.080
<v Speaker 4>confused out drinking in a field. But I you know,

215
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 4>in high school, I was a cook at a place

216
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:55.200
<v Speaker 4>called Cafe on the Square. And you know that Georgetown

217
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.720
<v Speaker 4>was dry then, like you couldn't buy booze. Yeah, so

218
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.879
<v Speaker 4>you had to get a membership to get cocktails at

219
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.279
<v Speaker 4>Cafe on the Square. And in the Square was just

220
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.559
<v Speaker 4>slow dying, a slow death, you know, to keep trying

221
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:10.200
<v Speaker 4>to keep the movie theater open.

222
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:14.120
<v Speaker 1>The boutiques wouldn't survive. No one was downtown.

223
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:18.600
<v Speaker 4>There was GOLs department store, which was just a local

224
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, Sears kind of thing. Yeah, you know, you

225
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.279
<v Speaker 4>go there to get your wranglers and whatever. But it

226
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:30.240
<v Speaker 4>was just dying. And then you know, as Austin was

227
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:35.559
<v Speaker 4>growing at grus a suburb, they they not only overturned

228
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.480
<v Speaker 4>the alcohol ban or whatever is now, they embrace it

229
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.120
<v Speaker 4>and you can go have cocktails and walk around the

230
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.039
<v Speaker 4>streets of the Square. And they just leaned into it

231
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:48.200
<v Speaker 4>and it started. Yeah, it just started booming. And it's

232
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:51.879
<v Speaker 4>that town is thriving. It's nothing like when I grew up.

233
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:55.799
<v Speaker 1>The Square is super cool now. It was not when

234
00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I grew up.

235
00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:59.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they have a really cool toy store. They have

236
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.279
<v Speaker 2>a can this shop. They had those cute little bars

237
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.279
<v Speaker 2>all around it. They have great places to shop, home

238
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:08.480
<v Speaker 2>to Core and stuff like that. Like it's the destination

239
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:09.919
<v Speaker 2>when you go there, for sure.

240
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:13.559
<v Speaker 4>Georgetown cool. I don't even think we had a nice

241
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.080
<v Speaker 4>grocery store. We we didn't have an H G B.

242
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:18.200
<v Speaker 4>I don't remember that growing up. We had an old

243
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:21.720
<v Speaker 4>piggly wiggly where a couple of the couple of the

244
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 4>lights had died and they didn't even bother to replace some.

245
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:30.159
<v Speaker 1>Forriver it was the iiglelywig. That's I don't think we

246
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.039
<v Speaker 1>told JB the thought.

247
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:34.600
<v Speaker 3>So when Triciaan and I went and we were driving

248
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.960
<v Speaker 3>down to Kingsville for our daughters. She was graduating from

249
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.720
<v Speaker 3>this leadership academy, and we're going through some little small

250
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.000
<v Speaker 3>town and it was still dark out, and there was

251
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.799
<v Speaker 3>a donut shop in a strip mall and it was

252
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.279
<v Speaker 3>called in the line that should have said Fresh Donuts,

253
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.879
<v Speaker 3>but the F was an R and the E were out,

254
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:56.879
<v Speaker 3>so all you saw was the S n H. So

255
00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:58.799
<v Speaker 3>I leaned over to Tricia and I elbowed her and

256
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:02.080
<v Speaker 3>I pointed at the sign and I went, look, it's.

257
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Donuts Shell Donuts here.

258
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Butbody only have a few donuts in here.

259
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:23.399
<v Speaker 3>So Lloyd Soly and donuts producing gaddies.

260
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:27.759
<v Speaker 4>And Sonic, Yeah, Sonic. I don't know, and all I

261
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:29.559
<v Speaker 4>think this is true. In a lot of small towns,

262
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.279
<v Speaker 4>there's a cool there's a dork side and a cool side.

263
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 1>At the Sonic Oh oh no, how you excited.

264
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.639
<v Speaker 4>To be on the cool side. You had to go

265
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:39.759
<v Speaker 4>half a lap and go around on the other side.

266
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:41.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't know why that was a rule.

267
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:44.159
<v Speaker 2>It's like the front or the back of the school bus.

268
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:46.840
<v Speaker 2>It's just a thing, right. If you were you were

269
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:48.720
<v Speaker 2>a dork. If you sat in the front, you were cool.

270
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:49.840
<v Speaker 2>If you got to sit in the back.

271
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:53.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's true. Georgetown't get any other awards for some.

272
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:55.840
<v Speaker 1>No, but Green did.
