Speaker 2: eighty station one O three point one. All right, thanks
Speaker 2: for being with us. My name is Sandy, This is JB. Hello,
Speaker 2: Tricia's here too. Hi everybody, and uh, the ACL Festival.
Speaker 2: The announcement has come out. Who's playing ACL. We got
Speaker 2: that for you in just a sec. But first I
Speaker 2: gotta play a talkback for you guys that we got
Speaker 2: Tricia was it's dealing with you talking about the girl,
Speaker 2: the actress in the movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Speaker 3: With Brad Pitt.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, her very first movie, yep, and she gets
Speaker 2: to make out with Brad Pitt.
Speaker 4: All she does in the movie is make out with
Speaker 4: Brad the little hippie girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, right, and Tricia insanely jealous.
Speaker 1: Yeah of this girl.
Speaker 2: Of whoever she is, well, one of our listeners knows
Speaker 2: who she is, and it might make sense how she
Speaker 2: got this job when you hear this, That.
Speaker 4: Actress that was in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Speaker 4: was actually Andy McDowell's daughter, the actress that was in
Speaker 4: Groundhog's Day.
Speaker 1: So she it's nepotism. Bye.
Speaker 4: She's one Lucky McDowell.
Speaker 1: I haven't heard that name in a minute. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: been a while.
Speaker 3: I can't even picture her.
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, you.
Speaker 4: Would totally recognize her, Yeah, you definitely would. She had
Speaker 4: curly black hair, very tall. You look up a picture
Speaker 4: of you'll totally she.
Speaker 2: And Andy with an ietually so oh okay, yeah, yeah, yea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember Andy McDowell now, sure sure, well her
Speaker 3: daughter got a good gig.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she did good for her.
Speaker 4: I mean if she never did a movie again, I
Speaker 4: feel like she'd be like, I'm good.
Speaker 2: Right, you guys, use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Just tap the microphone, send us a message. We love
Speaker 2: hearing from you. The headliners for the Austin City Limits
Speaker 2: Music Festival have been announced, and the reason that, well
Speaker 2: a lot of reasons that I know this, since that
Speaker 2: I know this, but our daughter posted it on her
Speaker 2: Instagram account, which is her subtle way of saying that
Speaker 2: she wants to go to the.
Speaker 3: Austin Lemon's Music Festival.
Speaker 2: Headliner Sabrina Carpenter, Josier Doja, Cat, Luke Comb's The Strokes,
Speaker 2: and I've never heard of John Summit before.
Speaker 3: But he's headlighting, so he must be a big deal.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Does anyone know John Summon.
Speaker 2: I've never heard of him either, I have it either.
Speaker 2: It's at Zilker Park. Of course. October third to fifth
Speaker 2: is the first weekend. Then October ten through twelfth is
Speaker 2: the second weekend. And I wonder, and but I doubt
Speaker 2: that they're going to dial back the number of tickets
Speaker 2: that they sell, because that's been the rub on that
Speaker 2: is that it's just over sold.
Speaker 4: I ever sold, ridiculously crowded. You feel like cattle trying
Speaker 4: to get in. Remember when we were. They have the
Speaker 4: paths blocked off for you to get to the entrance,
Speaker 4: and then it just kind of all piles.
Speaker 1: Up at the entrance.
Speaker 4: It narrows down and narrows down. Our daughter for sure
Speaker 4: wants to go. She's going to want to go with friends.
Speaker 4: She'll be sixteen. Would we possibly let her go alone
Speaker 4: to acl sixteen?
Speaker 3: Based on her past? Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean she hasn't given a reason not to
Speaker 1: trust her.
Speaker 3: Is that exactly?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: No, no, yeah, And it wouldn't be that I would be
Speaker 4: afraid she would do something. I'm just saying, do we
Speaker 4: throw her into that pit the first time she goes,
Speaker 4: you know, to a to a giant concert by herself.
Speaker 1: Would ACL be a good one?
Speaker 3: Yeah? But I think I think so. And I don't
Speaker 3: think she's a jump into the pit.
Speaker 4: Kid, No, no, don I just mean the big giant venue,
Speaker 4: the park and all the people. And I was worried
Speaker 4: when we took her in a friend a couple of
Speaker 4: years ago, that I was going to take her friend
Speaker 4: home and he's going to be high as a kite,
Speaker 4: because you know what I mean, Like, I mean, there's
Speaker 4: a lot going on.
Speaker 5: He sounds so nerdy right now, I know I might
Speaker 5: have to take him. How many might be as high
Speaker 5: as a kite? I mean he couldn't breathe, dawn, I
Speaker 5: mean high people don't or not just as easy to
Speaker 5: drive as.
Speaker 1: That's true, you know. So it's funny.
Speaker 5: I was chatting with my daughter who's twenty three, about
Speaker 5: the list because I saw it and I was like, eh,
Speaker 5: which is what tends to happen. She's much more in
Speaker 5: the wheelhouse, and she was like, did you see the
Speaker 5: ACL festival lineup? It's awesome? So I defer to her
Speaker 5: that it is an awesome lineup. Some of the other
Speaker 5: names that stood out to me that they were more
Speaker 5: in Maya Wheelhouse were Cage the Elephant, Rylo Kaylie, Modest Mouse,
Speaker 5: Japanese Breakfast. I'm a fan of that girl. She wrote
Speaker 5: a I want to read her biography or whatever it is.
Speaker 5: It's called crying Crying in h Mart, crying my eyes
Speaker 5: out in h Mart. I think she's of Korean descent
Speaker 5: and it's called Japanese Breakfast. But anyhow, she's super talented.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 5: There were a few others that jumped Passion Pit, Fantagram
Speaker 5: jumped out at me, Anderson East. There's a lot of
Speaker 5: good stuff in there. But you know what I feel
Speaker 5: like it is these mega festivals, or at least at
Speaker 5: least a clfest is sort of backing off on the
Speaker 5: mega mega mega act, like we got to have Kanye
Speaker 5: or Rolling Stone.
Speaker 3: Yeah you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, there's nothing that I would say is like
Speaker 5: so huge that oh I got to go because it's
Speaker 5: Paul McCartney, you know what I mean, right right, right right,
Speaker 5: which might help. But the wheel is pretty good, you
Speaker 5: know that's I think that's done out of superstition because
Speaker 5: they've played every year.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean they opened it every year, the
Speaker 2: first act every single year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they they I think they actually played before the
Speaker 5: gates open. They just told them gates open at ten
Speaker 5: to sleep at the wheel at nine.
Speaker 1: Let's go.
Speaker 2: I heard a song though the other day that I
Speaker 2: really liked, and of course I can't remember the name
Speaker 2: of it, but it was Ray Benson and Radney Foster.
Speaker 3: And it was good.
Speaker 5: I didn't I'm a Radney Foster fan, so I don't
Speaker 5: know that tune.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know this song came. I'll find it later.
Speaker 2: So Austin cea Limit's Music Festival. I Trisha, if you're
Speaker 2: asking me me my vote on whether or not our
Speaker 2: sixteen year old can go with a crew of friends.
Speaker 2: My vote is yes, just simply based on she's not
Speaker 2: given us a reason not to now.
Speaker 3: She could between now and then.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know what it's it's believe me, if
Speaker 5: I could do all my parenting over again, I would
Speaker 5: I would opt for that. But I think that's a
Speaker 5: really good approach to say that. So yeah, I think
Speaker 5: we would love for you to go. You don't have
Speaker 5: to go with your parents. Have fun, But tell her
Speaker 5: what you just said, right, You had never given us
Speaker 5: a reason not to trust you. Right, if that changes,
Speaker 5: this all changes. Yeah, Like that's good. That's a really
Speaker 5: good thing to say. Now, my daughter would have thrown
Speaker 5: it all out the window, but I think there's hope.
Speaker 3: With your daughter.
Speaker 2: Coming up all the show today, JB was on a
Speaker 2: trip to Colorado and was there to do a bike
Speaker 2: ride with a buddy and things did not go well
Speaker 2: for mister j B.
Speaker 3: He's got the bruises to prove.
Speaker 1: It, mister JB.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it might be one of those things where you've
Speaker 5: got to go look at our socials just to see
Speaker 5: how banged up I am.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll get into that and just a little bit,
Speaker 2: probably about seven twenty five ish and up next, Trista's
Speaker 2: got the story we love.
Speaker 3: What do you have?
Speaker 4: So? Uber has announced that they are launching a pilot
Speaker 4: program in Austin for a certain age group of writers.
Speaker 4: And I don't think I actually qualify for this pilot,
Speaker 4: but I really.
Speaker 1: Want in on it. It sounds pretty good, all right.
Speaker 2: Details are coming up on Austin's eighty station on three
Speaker 2: point one. Uber is testing something new in Austin, and
Speaker 2: Tristia's got the details coming up in just a second
Speaker 2: the story we love you know. Just a little bit ago,
Speaker 2: we were talking about the lineup for the ACL Festival
Speaker 2: in October at Zilker Park. I don't know if anyone cares,
Speaker 2: but last weekend the Garth Brooks ACL Hall of Fame
Speaker 2: episode aired on PBS and I watched part of it.
Speaker 3: It was pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was good.
Speaker 3: I mean, Garth's Garth and he does know he.
Speaker 1: Was going into the ACL Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3: Fame. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: And what was cool is because I remember when that
Speaker 2: first came out, we were like, well, what has he
Speaker 2: got to do with Austin City Limits.
Speaker 3: Well, he actually has a lot to do with that.
Speaker 2: And they tell the story of how he pitched the
Speaker 2: the the ACL people to come play the show, like
Speaker 2: he kept coming asking him and asking him and asking
Speaker 2: him to come play it, and they finally let him
Speaker 2: play this.
Speaker 3: So this is twenty something years ago.
Speaker 5: At that time, they were very old music, yes, and
Speaker 5: he was way too progressive I'm sure for what they
Speaker 5: were doing at that.
Speaker 2: Time exactly, And he finally got to play it. And
Speaker 2: now ever since then, anytime the director of Austin City
Speaker 2: Limits need something, Garth is always like, heck, yeah, heck, yeah.
Speaker 3: Whatever he needs, whatever he needs, whatever he needs.
Speaker 2: And it was cool because he also said something that
Speaker 2: made me rethink the artists that play Austin City Limits.
Speaker 2: And what he said is that he goes with Austin
Speaker 2: City Limits limits, it's not a bunch of smoke and mirrors.
Speaker 2: And he's like, trust me, I've used them all with
Speaker 2: the smoking, smoke and mirrors. And he goes and I'll
Speaker 2: tell you what was told me by other musicians that
Speaker 2: have played Austin City Limits, and he said, other musicians
Speaker 2: have told me that when you play Austin City Limits,
Speaker 2: you're the real deal.
Speaker 3: You're like, you're the you're legit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you play Austin City Limits, you know, which
Speaker 2: is a great way to really sum that show up
Speaker 2: and what it's all about, which is cool.
Speaker 4: I think his wife played a concert too last week
Speaker 4: and as well so on the episode.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's on the episode, but I
Speaker 1: know she played in Austin.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, I'm sorry, Jimmy, what are you gonna say?
Speaker 5: No, I just it's it's like a little bit of immortality,
Speaker 5: I think is how they look at it, like you're legit,
Speaker 5: like playing Grand old Opry's probably wanted.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, very much like that. So anyway, ah, yeah
Speaker 2: it aired over the weekend. I'm sure you know they
Speaker 2: re air that stuff all the time.
Speaker 6: Sillyes you like our ai jingles JB.
Speaker 1: Wow, you know it's a little much in it.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a like a Nickelodeon show. It does
Speaker 1: like I should come be bopping out to be my story.
Speaker 3: It's catchy.
Speaker 1: It is catchy.
Speaker 4: So, according to a press release, Uber is rolling out
Speaker 4: a pilot program for seniors. It's a Senior's Account program.
Speaker 4: It's uh rolling out in Austin. First that it's an
Speaker 4: an option on the app that's designed to make getting
Speaker 4: around easier, more in two and more accessible for older adults.
Speaker 4: Some of the features of the Senior app larger text,
Speaker 4: fewer steps, and optional support from loved ones.
Speaker 1: I was like, I think I would like that.
Speaker 4: Meaning if somebody, if an older adult books a ride
Speaker 4: and they start getting confused, it notifies somebody on their
Speaker 4: account as an emergency contact that can help them figure
Speaker 4: it out, can help them speak with the driver. Perhaps
Speaker 4: the key features for the Senior account simplified booking. Sometimes
Speaker 4: it gets confusing booking them if you're not used to
Speaker 4: doing it. Saved places, meaning if you go to a
Speaker 4: doctor's appointment all the time or to this one location
Speaker 4: all the time, that is going to show up in
Speaker 4: your account for the driver to help get you there.
Speaker 4: Flexible payment options so you can use your card, you
Speaker 4: can use a family member's card on file flex cards
Speaker 4: for medical trips, so different payment options. Live tracking so
Speaker 4: loved ones can keep track of there you are and
Speaker 4: help when needed. Again, family organizers who are on your
Speaker 4: account can be contacted if there's any kind of an issue.
Speaker 2: Is there anything in there about voice recognition? Like my
Speaker 2: mom has lost sight in one eye and she's struggling
Speaker 2: with trying to keep the other eye and right not
Speaker 2: real good, So I'm just wondering if she could say,
Speaker 2: you know, Uber, I need a ride or something to
Speaker 2: you know, just voice, just use your voice instead of right.
Speaker 4: No, I don't see anything mentioned about voice recognition, but
Speaker 4: they're just simply they apparently did some sort of a
Speaker 4: survey and overwhelmingly it was too confusing. So they're saying
Speaker 4: they're trying to make the technology helpful not overwhelming for
Speaker 4: the older generation, which I think I'm on the cusp
Speaker 4: of being in that older generation, and I'm like, can I.
Speaker 1: Get the larger text in this simplified bookings? So I
Speaker 1: think that's very very cool. They did something like this
Speaker 1: for teen accounts. A couple of years ago.
Speaker 4: They did a pilot for teen writers that apparently was
Speaker 4: pretty successful.
Speaker 2: I think it's a great idea because your parents get
Speaker 2: older and at some point, like my dad is eight
Speaker 2: almost eighty five and probably should not be driving, right,
Speaker 2: but he still does. And just to make it easier
Speaker 2: for senior citizens to get around, I mean, they got
Speaker 2: a lot of doctor's appointments, right, they really do. And
Speaker 2: they still have regular errands and grocery stores and all that.
Speaker 5: And if you want to go out, especially in a
Speaker 5: town like this, you want to go out to Ego downtown.
Speaker 5: It's not like the old days where you just park
Speaker 5: and went in. Yeah, take an uber, don't deal with
Speaker 5: a car.
Speaker 2: I think they probably need to screen that have certain
Speaker 2: drivers for that too, like people that are up for
Speaker 2: doing the extra that a senior citizen would need.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, I bet you do have the option to
Speaker 4: sign up to be in that program or not.
Speaker 1: Right, So the first question.
Speaker 5: If you want to be one of those drivers, do
Speaker 5: you like where there's candy.
Speaker 2: I would have him in my car if I was
Speaker 2: a driver, I would have them already.
Speaker 4: I think they should always be in the car, no
Speaker 4: matter how old you are, because they're delicious.
Speaker 2: I've always been impressed with the Uber driver that's got
Speaker 2: like a bottle of water in the car for you,
Speaker 2: especially in the summertime. That's nice, right, a little extra
Speaker 2: touch for it. So, Jamie, have you gotten a Weaimo yet?
Speaker 2: I know you're waiting. I have not.
Speaker 5: You know you can't. They are in partnership with Uber
Speaker 5: in Austin. You cannot just request a Weeimo. The autonomous,
Speaker 5: the jag the white jaguare cars with Weimo.
Speaker 1: It's random, it's luck of the draw. And they're all
Speaker 1: over my neighborhood. I've been wanting to try one, but
Speaker 1: I have not.
Speaker 2: I was behind one recently downtown off of like tenth
Speaker 2: in Congress, right behind it at stop, like right in
Speaker 2: front of the Stephen F.
Speaker 3: Austin Hotel.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I was mesmerized by it.
Speaker 4: I was downtown Saturday and I probably saw five of
Speaker 4: them within a two mile radius of all over everywhere.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. Yeah, it's the future, though, for sure. Definitely
Speaker 2: that is the story we loved
