<v Speaker 2>the actress in the movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:33.079

00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:37.200
<v Speaker 2>to make out with Brad Pitt.

14
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:39.200
<v Speaker 4>All she does in the movie is make out with

15
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:40.479
<v Speaker 4>Brad the little hippie girl.

16
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:44.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yes, right, and Tricia insanely jealous.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah of this girl.

18
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.479
<v Speaker 2>Of whoever she is, well, one of our listeners knows

19
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.000
<v Speaker 2>who she is, and it might make sense how she

20
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:55.920
<v Speaker 2>got this job when you hear this, That.

21
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:59.159
<v Speaker 4>Actress that was in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

22
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.640
<v Speaker 4>was actually Andy McDowell's daughter, the actress that was in

23
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:03.520
<v Speaker 4>Groundhog's Day.

24
00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:07.959
<v Speaker 1>So she it's nepotism. Bye.

25
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.760
<v Speaker 4>She's one Lucky McDowell.

26
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I haven't heard that name in a minute. Yeah, it's

27
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>been a while.

28
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 3>I can't even picture her.

29
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>To be honest with you, you.

30
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:20.400
<v Speaker 4>Would totally recognize her, Yeah, you definitely would. She had

31
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 4>curly black hair, very tall. You look up a picture

32
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:25.640
<v Speaker 4>of you'll totally she.

34
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I remember Andy McDowell now, sure sure, well her

35
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 3>daughter got a good gig.

36
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she did good for her.

37
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 4>I mean if she never did a movie again, I

38
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 4>feel like she'd be like, I'm good.

39
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Right, you guys, use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app.

40
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Just tap the microphone, send us a message. We love

41
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:47.760
<v Speaker 2>hearing from you. The headliners for the Austin City Limits

42
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Music Festival have been announced, and the reason that, well

43
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 2>a lot of reasons that I know this, since that

44
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>I know this, but our daughter posted it on her

45
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 2>Instagram account, which is her subtle way of saying that

46
00:01:58.640 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 2>she wants to go to the.

47
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:01.319
<v Speaker 3>Austin Lemon's Music Festival.

48
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:07.079
<v Speaker 2>Headliner Sabrina Carpenter, Josier Doja, Cat, Luke Comb's The Strokes,

49
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>and I've never heard of John Summit before.

50
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:12.840
<v Speaker 3>But he's headlighting, so he must be a big deal.

51
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:14.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. Does anyone know John Summon.

52
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.479
<v Speaker 2>I've never heard of him either, I have it either.

53
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.800
<v Speaker 2>It's at Zilker Park. Of course. October third to fifth

54
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:24.080
<v Speaker 2>is the first weekend. Then October ten through twelfth is

55
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Speaker 2>the second weekend. And I wonder, and but I doubt

56
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>that they're going to dial back the number of tickets

57
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.159
<v Speaker 2>that they sell, because that's been the rub on that

58
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:35.159
<v Speaker 2>is that it's just over sold.

59
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 4>I ever sold, ridiculously crowded. You feel like cattle trying

60
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:42.560
<v Speaker 4>to get in. Remember when we were. They have the

61
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.439
<v Speaker 4>paths blocked off for you to get to the entrance,

62
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 4>and then it just kind of all piles.

63
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Up at the entrance.

64
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.520
<v Speaker 4>It narrows down and narrows down. Our daughter for sure

65
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 4>wants to go. She's going to want to go with friends.

66
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 4>She'll be sixteen. Would we possibly let her go alone

67
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.639
<v Speaker 4>to acl sixteen?

68
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.759
<v Speaker 3>Based on her past? Yes?

69
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean she hasn't given a reason not to

70
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:08.199
<v Speaker 1>trust her.

71
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Is that exactly?

72
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>No?

73
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 4>No, no, yeah, And it wouldn't be that I would be

74
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.520
<v Speaker 4>afraid she would do something. I'm just saying, do we

75
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.280
<v Speaker 4>throw her into that pit the first time she goes,

76
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 4>you know, to a to a giant concert by herself.

77
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Would ACL be a good one?

78
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? But I think I think so. And I don't

79
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:26.479
<v Speaker 3>think she's a jump into the pit.

80
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:31.719
<v Speaker 4>Kid, No, no, don I just mean the big giant venue,

81
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 4>the park and all the people. And I was worried

82
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:35.800
<v Speaker 4>when we took her in a friend a couple of

83
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.360
<v Speaker 4>years ago, that I was going to take her friend

84
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 4>home and he's going to be high as a kite,

85
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.599
<v Speaker 4>because you know what I mean, Like, I mean, there's

86
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:43.479
<v Speaker 4>a lot going on.

87
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 5>He sounds so nerdy right now, I know I might

88
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:48.479
<v Speaker 5>have to take him. How many might be as high

89
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:53.120
<v Speaker 5>as a kite? I mean he couldn't breathe, dawn, I

90
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 5>mean high people don't or not just as easy to

91
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:57.759
<v Speaker 5>drive as.

92
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.960
<v Speaker 1>That's true, you know. So it's funny.

93
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.319
<v Speaker 5>I was chatting with my daughter who's twenty three, about

94
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 5>the list because I saw it and I was like, eh,

95
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:10.599
<v Speaker 5>which is what tends to happen. She's much more in

96
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 5>the wheelhouse, and she was like, did you see the

97
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:17.879
<v Speaker 5>ACL festival lineup? It's awesome? So I defer to her

98
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:21.319
<v Speaker 5>that it is an awesome lineup. Some of the other

99
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.079
<v Speaker 5>names that stood out to me that they were more

100
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 5>in Maya Wheelhouse were Cage the Elephant, Rylo Kaylie, Modest Mouse,

101
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:35.079
<v Speaker 5>Japanese Breakfast. I'm a fan of that girl. She wrote

102
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.120
<v Speaker 5>a I want to read her biography or whatever it is.

103
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.600
<v Speaker 5>It's called crying Crying in h Mart, crying my eyes

104
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 5>out in h Mart. I think she's of Korean descent

105
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 5>and it's called Japanese Breakfast. But anyhow, she's super talented.

106
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

107
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 5>There were a few others that jumped Passion Pit, Fantagram

108
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.360
<v Speaker 5>jumped out at me, Anderson East. There's a lot of

109
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.600
<v Speaker 5>good stuff in there. But you know what I feel

110
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 5>like it is these mega festivals, or at least at

111
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 5>least a clfest is sort of backing off on the

112
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 5>mega mega mega act, like we got to have Kanye

113
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 5>or Rolling Stone.

114
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah you know what I mean?

115
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Yeah, there's nothing that I would say is like

116
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:23.040
<v Speaker 5>so huge that oh I got to go because it's

117
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.600
<v Speaker 5>Paul McCartney, you know what I mean, right right, right right,

118
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:31.639
<v Speaker 5>which might help. But the wheel is pretty good, you

119
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.920
<v Speaker 5>know that's I think that's done out of superstition because

120
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 5>they've played every year.

121
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I mean they opened it every year, the

122
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 2>first act every single year.

123
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they they I think they actually played before the

124
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:50.399
<v Speaker 5>gates open. They just told them gates open at ten

125
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:51.560
<v Speaker 5>to sleep at the wheel at nine.

126
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:52.079
<v Speaker 1>Let's go.

127
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:54.959
<v Speaker 2>I heard a song though the other day that I

128
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:57.160
<v Speaker 2>really liked, and of course I can't remember the name

129
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:00.160
<v Speaker 2>of it, but it was Ray Benson and Radney Foster.

130
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:01.879
<v Speaker 3>And it was good.

131
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.600
<v Speaker 5>I didn't I'm a Radney Foster fan, so I don't

132
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:05.600
<v Speaker 5>know that tune.

133
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know this song came. I'll find it later.

134
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.879
<v Speaker 2>So Austin cea Limit's Music Festival. I Trisha, if you're

135
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.199
<v Speaker 2>asking me me my vote on whether or not our

136
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 2>sixteen year old can go with a crew of friends.

137
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.279
<v Speaker 2>My vote is yes, just simply based on she's not

138
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.319
<v Speaker 2>given us a reason not to now.

139
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:22.519
<v Speaker 3>She could between now and then.

140
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:27.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but you know what it's it's believe me, if

141
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.720
<v Speaker 5>I could do all my parenting over again, I would

142
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:33.079
<v Speaker 5>I would opt for that. But I think that's a

143
00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:36.199
<v Speaker 5>really good approach to say that. So yeah, I think

144
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:37.720
<v Speaker 5>we would love for you to go. You don't have

145
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.399
<v Speaker 5>to go with your parents. Have fun, But tell her

146
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.480
<v Speaker 5>what you just said, right, You had never given us

147
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.959
<v Speaker 5>a reason not to trust you. Right, if that changes,

148
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.639
<v Speaker 5>this all changes. Yeah, Like that's good. That's a really

149
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.319
<v Speaker 5>good thing to say. Now, my daughter would have thrown

150
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.240
<v Speaker 5>it all out the window, but I think there's hope.

151
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 3>With your daughter.

152
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Coming up all the show today, JB was on a

153
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.959
<v Speaker 2>trip to Colorado and was there to do a bike

154
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.720
<v Speaker 2>ride with a buddy and things did not go well

155
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 2>for mister j B.

156
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:09.920
<v Speaker 3>He's got the bruises to prove.

157
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>It, mister JB.

158
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it might be one of those things where you've

159
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.079
<v Speaker 5>got to go look at our socials just to see

160
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 5>how banged up I am.

161
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, we'll get into that and just a little bit,

162
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:23.759
<v Speaker 2>probably about seven twenty five ish and up next, Trista's

163
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:24.560
<v Speaker 2>got the story we love.

164
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:24.959
<v Speaker 3>What do you have?

165
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.000
<v Speaker 4>So? Uber has announced that they are launching a pilot

166
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:32.360
<v Speaker 4>program in Austin for a certain age group of writers.

167
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:36.120
<v Speaker 4>And I don't think I actually qualify for this pilot,

168
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:37.199
<v Speaker 4>but I really.

169
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Want in on it. It sounds pretty good, all right.

170
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.720
<v Speaker 2>Details are coming up on Austin's eighty station on three

171
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 2>point one. Uber is testing something new in Austin, and

172
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:49.399
<v Speaker 2>Tristia's got the details coming up in just a second

173
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:51.240
<v Speaker 2>the story we love you know. Just a little bit ago,

174
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.959
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about the lineup for the ACL Festival

175
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.000
<v Speaker 2>in October at Zilker Park. I don't know if anyone cares,

176
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:02.560
<v Speaker 2>but last weekend the Garth Brooks ACL Hall of Fame

177
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:07.480
<v Speaker 2>episode aired on PBS and I watched part of it.

178
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:08.160
<v Speaker 3>It was pretty good.

179
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was good.

180
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.199
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Garth's Garth and he does know he.

181
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Was going into the ACL Hall of Fame.

182
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:15.839
<v Speaker 3>Fame. Yeah, yeah.

183
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 2>And what was cool is because I remember when that

184
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:18.639
<v Speaker 2>first came out, we were like, well, what has he

185
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:20.000
<v Speaker 2>got to do with Austin City Limits.

186
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:21.399
<v Speaker 3>Well, he actually has a lot to do with that.

187
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.240
<v Speaker 2>And they tell the story of how he pitched the

188
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:30.279
<v Speaker 2>the the ACL people to come play the show, like

189
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.559
<v Speaker 2>he kept coming asking him and asking him and asking

190
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 2>him to come play it, and they finally let him

191
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:34.720
<v Speaker 2>play this.

192
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 3>So this is twenty something years ago.

193
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.279
<v Speaker 5>At that time, they were very old music, yes, and

194
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:43.759
<v Speaker 5>he was way too progressive I'm sure for what they

195
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:44.559
<v Speaker 5>were doing at that.

196
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Time exactly, And he finally got to play it. And

197
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:53.000
<v Speaker 2>now ever since then, anytime the director of Austin City

198
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Limits need something, Garth is always like, heck, yeah, heck, yeah.

199
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Whatever he needs, whatever he needs, whatever he needs.

200
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.639
<v Speaker 2>And it was cool because he also said something that

201
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:06.759
<v Speaker 2>made me rethink the artists that play Austin City Limits.

202
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.720
<v Speaker 2>And what he said is that he goes with Austin

203
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.919
<v Speaker 2>City Limits limits, it's not a bunch of smoke and mirrors.

204
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.039
<v Speaker 2>And he's like, trust me, I've used them all with

205
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.679
<v Speaker 2>the smoking, smoke and mirrors. And he goes and I'll

206
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:21.799
<v Speaker 2>tell you what was told me by other musicians that

207
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:25.399
<v Speaker 2>have played Austin City Limits, and he said, other musicians

208
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:27.799
<v Speaker 2>have told me that when you play Austin City Limits,

209
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:28.600
<v Speaker 2>you're the real deal.

210
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.039
<v Speaker 3>You're like, you're the you're legit.

211
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if you play Austin City Limits, you know, which

212
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:37.559
<v Speaker 2>is a great way to really sum that show up

213
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.360
<v Speaker 2>and what it's all about, which is cool.

214
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.080
<v Speaker 4>I think his wife played a concert too last week

215
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.200
<v Speaker 4>and as well so on the episode.

216
00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:48.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's on the episode, but I

217
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:49.759
<v Speaker 1>know she played in Austin.

218
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Okay, I'm sorry, Jimmy, what are you gonna say?

219
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.600
<v Speaker 5>No, I just it's it's like a little bit of immortality,

220
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:57.559
<v Speaker 5>I think is how they look at it, like you're legit,

221
00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.919
<v Speaker 5>like playing Grand old Opry's probably wanted.

222
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly, very much like that. So anyway, ah, yeah

223
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:08.320
<v Speaker 2>it aired over the weekend. I'm sure you know they

224
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:09.720
<v Speaker 2>re air that stuff all the time.

225
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:27.799
<v Speaker 6>Sillyes you like our ai jingles JB.

226
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Wow, you know it's a little much in it.

227
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:31.919
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

228
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:36.440
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like a like a Nickelodeon show. It does

229
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 1>like I should come be bopping out to be my story.

230
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:40.080
<v Speaker 3>It's catchy.

231
00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:40.919
<v Speaker 1>It is catchy.

232
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:45.440
<v Speaker 4>So, according to a press release, Uber is rolling out

233
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:51.200
<v Speaker 4>a pilot program for seniors. It's a Senior's Account program.

234
00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:55.039
<v Speaker 4>It's uh rolling out in Austin. First that it's an

235
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.360
<v Speaker 4>an option on the app that's designed to make getting

236
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:02.759
<v Speaker 4>around easier, more in two and more accessible for older adults.

237
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:06.759
<v Speaker 4>Some of the features of the Senior app larger text,

238
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.600
<v Speaker 4>fewer steps, and optional support from loved ones.

239
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I think I would like that.

240
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:17.360
<v Speaker 4>Meaning if somebody, if an older adult books a ride

241
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:21.200
<v Speaker 4>and they start getting confused, it notifies somebody on their

242
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:24.080
<v Speaker 4>account as an emergency contact that can help them figure

243
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:27.000
<v Speaker 4>it out, can help them speak with the driver. Perhaps

244
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:33.159
<v Speaker 4>the key features for the Senior account simplified booking. Sometimes

245
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.639
<v Speaker 4>it gets confusing booking them if you're not used to

246
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 4>doing it. Saved places, meaning if you go to a

247
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.639
<v Speaker 4>doctor's appointment all the time or to this one location

248
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:42.759
<v Speaker 4>all the time, that is going to show up in

249
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.000
<v Speaker 4>your account for the driver to help get you there.

250
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.279
<v Speaker 4>Flexible payment options so you can use your card, you

251
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:53.200
<v Speaker 4>can use a family member's card on file flex cards

252
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:57.759
<v Speaker 4>for medical trips, so different payment options. Live tracking so

253
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:01.399
<v Speaker 4>loved ones can keep track of there you are and

254
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:04.559
<v Speaker 4>help when needed. Again, family organizers who are on your

255
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:07.039
<v Speaker 4>account can be contacted if there's any kind of an issue.

256
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything in there about voice recognition? Like my

257
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.120
<v Speaker 2>mom has lost sight in one eye and she's struggling

258
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:19.399
<v Speaker 2>with trying to keep the other eye and right not

259
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:21.399
<v Speaker 2>real good, So I'm just wondering if she could say,

260
00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, Uber, I need a ride or something to

261
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, just voice, just use your voice instead of right.

262
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.320
<v Speaker 4>No, I don't see anything mentioned about voice recognition, but

263
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.919
<v Speaker 4>they're just simply they apparently did some sort of a

264
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:38.639
<v Speaker 4>survey and overwhelmingly it was too confusing. So they're saying

265
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.679
<v Speaker 4>they're trying to make the technology helpful not overwhelming for

266
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:44.960
<v Speaker 4>the older generation, which I think I'm on the cusp

267
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:48.600
<v Speaker 4>of being in that older generation, and I'm like, can I.

268
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:53.399
<v Speaker 1>Get the larger text in this simplified bookings? So I

269
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.679
<v Speaker 1>think that's very very cool. They did something like this

270
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.120
<v Speaker 1>for teen accounts. A couple of years ago.

271
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.360
<v Speaker 4>They did a pilot for teen writers that apparently was

272
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:02.320
<v Speaker 4>pretty successful.

273
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:05.679
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a great idea because your parents get

274
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:08.240
<v Speaker 2>older and at some point, like my dad is eight

275
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:11.360
<v Speaker 2>almost eighty five and probably should not be driving, right,

276
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.120
<v Speaker 2>but he still does. And just to make it easier

277
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:17.519
<v Speaker 2>for senior citizens to get around, I mean, they got

278
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.759
<v Speaker 2>a lot of doctor's appointments, right, they really do. And

279
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.519
<v Speaker 2>they still have regular errands and grocery stores and all that.

280
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:25.320
<v Speaker 5>And if you want to go out, especially in a

281
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.600
<v Speaker 5>town like this, you want to go out to Ego downtown.

282
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:29.679
<v Speaker 5>It's not like the old days where you just park

283
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:32.759
<v Speaker 5>and went in. Yeah, take an uber, don't deal with

284
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:33.279
<v Speaker 5>a car.

285
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:36.159
<v Speaker 2>I think they probably need to screen that have certain

286
00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.320
<v Speaker 2>drivers for that too, like people that are up for

287
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:43.080
<v Speaker 2>doing the extra that a senior citizen would need.

288
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Like, I bet you do have the option to

289
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.320
<v Speaker 4>sign up to be in that program or not.

290
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Right, So the first question.

291
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:50.480
<v Speaker 5>If you want to be one of those drivers, do

292
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:52.919
<v Speaker 5>you like where there's candy.

293
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:54.720
<v Speaker 2>I would have him in my car if I was

294
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.960
<v Speaker 2>a driver, I would have them already.

295
00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:58.799
<v Speaker 4>I think they should always be in the car, no

296
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.159
<v Speaker 4>matter how old you are, because they're delicious.

297
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I've always been impressed with the Uber driver that's got

298
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:05.600
<v Speaker 2>like a bottle of water in the car for you,

299
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.559
<v Speaker 2>especially in the summertime. That's nice, right, a little extra

300
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:12.919
<v Speaker 2>touch for it. So, Jamie, have you gotten a Weaimo yet?

301
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:14.159
<v Speaker 2>I know you're waiting. I have not.

302
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:18.600
<v Speaker 5>You know you can't. They are in partnership with Uber

303
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.799
<v Speaker 5>in Austin. You cannot just request a Weeimo. The autonomous,

304
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:25.960
<v Speaker 5>the jag the white jaguare cars with Weimo.

305
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:29.159
<v Speaker 1>It's random, it's luck of the draw. And they're all

306
00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:31.320
<v Speaker 1>over my neighborhood. I've been wanting to try one, but

307
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:31.679
<v Speaker 1>I have not.

308
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:36.279
<v Speaker 2>I was behind one recently downtown off of like tenth

309
00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:38.559
<v Speaker 2>in Congress, right behind it at stop, like right in

310
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:40.120
<v Speaker 2>front of the Stephen F.

311
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Austin Hotel.

312
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh.

313
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I was mesmerized by it.

314
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:47.000
<v Speaker 4>I was downtown Saturday and I probably saw five of

315
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:51.240
<v Speaker 4>them within a two mile radius of all over everywhere.

316
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:55.600
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy. Yeah, it's the future, though, for sure. Definitely

00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:57.480
<v Speaker 2>that is the story we loved
