<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah.

27
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 1>I figure the China and Chinese are going to have

28
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:05.480
<v Speaker 1>my information one way or another.

29
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.480

00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:11.200
<v Speaker 5>to do the TikTok stuff.

31
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was trying to figure out the AI voices

00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>that you can use on that, which you're going to

<v Speaker 1>for Yeah.

41
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:42.640
<v Speaker 2>I finally went to Raisin Canes. Yeah, first time. It's

42
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.159
<v Speaker 2>funny because I when that. I went to the one

43
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 2>in Westlake. I was out there. I was in Westlake

44
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:50.719
<v Speaker 2>for a meeting. I was like, you know, I'm going

45
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.480
<v Speaker 2>to try that place. I remember when they opened it

46
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.120
<v Speaker 2>because I think that used to be a taco bell

47
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, and they opened that up, and I was like, what,

48
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>I had a chicken place in Westlake. I'm like, come on.

49
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 2>And so I just avoided it, like I just I

50
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.560
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I thought it was kind of trashy and

51
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:15.639
<v Speaker 2>I just never went. And then last week I was

52
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>reading about the founder of raising canes, and I was

53
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 2>like so fascinated by the story that I was like, huh,

54
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 2>I like this place now because of the story. And

55
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.639
<v Speaker 2>it was really and I had it. It was pretty

56
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 2>good because you know, I don't eat a lot of

57
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:39.919
<v Speaker 2>fried food either, but I'm like every now and then,

58
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.960
<v Speaker 2>no big deal. It was really good, no surprise, right.

59
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 4>You like the sauce.

60
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:45.639
<v Speaker 3>You know.

61
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:47.039
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even use the sauce.

62
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:48.599
<v Speaker 4>Oh JB.

63
00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 6>That's the magic of canes is the saw.

64
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.479
<v Speaker 2>I was eating and driving and that just gets messy.

65
00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 3>And I'm, yeah, I think.

66
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.080
<v Speaker 5>That you're next the next time you go and you

67
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:03.280
<v Speaker 5>incorporate the sauce.

68
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.520
<v Speaker 4>I think, really, then you'll understand.

69
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh. I didn't even think about it because I just

70
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.080
<v Speaker 2>yeah when i'm I just don't like it messy stuff

71
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 2>in the car. Yeah, but I was reading about it.

72
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 2>So Todd Graves is the guy that started raising canes

73
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.240
<v Speaker 2>in ninety six, but I don't know if you know

74
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 2>this part of the story. He along with a friend,

75
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 2>wrote a business plan for this for raising canes while

76
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 2>going to LSU. Oh really, and the plan was to

77
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:39.439
<v Speaker 2>only serve chicken fingers, and the concept flopped with the

78
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:43.520
<v Speaker 2>critics and his professor gave him a low grade. So

79
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:49.280
<v Speaker 2>it's two niche it will never work. Several banks denied him.

80
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.400
<v Speaker 2>He couldn't get alan to start it. Oh wow, So

81
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.199
<v Speaker 2>the way to fund his dream of just doing chicken

82
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>fingers was he took on. I don't know exactly what

83
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.759
<v Speaker 2>a boiler maker is. He was working ninety hour weeks.

84
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.919
<v Speaker 1>A boiler maker is like a room where a bunch

85
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>of people on a phone selling penny stocks.

86
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:14.759
<v Speaker 2>And oh, to finance it. Yeah, he was working ninety

87
00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 2>hour weeks. And then he was doing a lot of

88
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:23.480
<v Speaker 2>fishing for sakeye salmon, just sock just putting his money away.

89
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Right.

90
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.920
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I think he originally the concept was calling

91
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.439
<v Speaker 2>the place Sockeyes Socky's.

92
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:36.480
<v Speaker 3>But then he saved.

93
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Enough that he was able to get alone started this,

94
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.160
<v Speaker 2>and then you know, people all said he was crazy

95
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.160
<v Speaker 2>and he would do these late hours, and so it

96
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 2>wasn't on my radar. And I noticed there's one right

97
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the drag and on the weekends,

98
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 2>I think they're open till like three thirty in the

99
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 2>morning or something like that. Smart he tart. And the

100
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.079
<v Speaker 2>first one he opened was by a university, like he

101
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 2>he knew his audience, right, and I'm trying to find

102
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:09.120
<v Speaker 2>the exact number. It's like, so now he has Oh wait,

103
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.720
<v Speaker 2>there's another good part of the story. He had a

104
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:16.040
<v Speaker 2>handful of locations in Louisiana, and when Hurricane Katrina hit,

105
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:19.720
<v Speaker 2>it nearly wiped him out, banked up the business. He

106
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 2>was going to be done, but he focused, survived and

107
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.439
<v Speaker 2>actually was feeding a lot of people whenever they You know,

108
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 2>he's very known for help pitching in when when people

109
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:33.519
<v Speaker 2>are in need, like in hurricane type situations, especially being

110
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 2>a Louisiana guy. Right, So now there are more than

111
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:42.759
<v Speaker 2>eight hundred of them in over forty states and some

112
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 2>in the Middle East. Interesting, right, he has over fifty

113
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 2>thousand employees.

114
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:53.600
<v Speaker 4>Good lord, that's amazing.

115
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:54.160
<v Speaker 3>Right.

116
00:05:54.319 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Forbes estimated him at over seventeen billion dollars.

117
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Let's think about this for a second. I mean, you're

118
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:07.480
<v Speaker 1>getting into the chicken business. Think about who your competition is, really,

119
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:11.279
<v Speaker 1>really mature businesses that you're getting into.

120
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:11.839
<v Speaker 2>The same sea.

121
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.439
<v Speaker 1>I would never do it just for that reason. What

122
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:19.160
<v Speaker 1>am I going to do better than churches? Than uh

123
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.639
<v Speaker 1>than Popeyes then Kentucky?

124
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 3>Fright? What am I going to do better?

125
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:23.439
<v Speaker 2>I know?

126
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 4>One thing they do that the other chicken places don't do. Jabi.

127
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 5>Did they throw this on you when you pulled up

128
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:32.199
<v Speaker 5>to order? Hey, hey, hey, want some chicken today?

129
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 4>What about this classic chicken?

130
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:35.040
<v Speaker 3>Chicken?

131
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:36.319
<v Speaker 4>Chicken? Which one are you picking?

132
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:39.879
<v Speaker 2>You are a regular?

133
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.199
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Hell yeah, dude, they know my name.

134
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:48.600
<v Speaker 5>My name that I freaking love canes. It's the sauce.

135
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.040
<v Speaker 3>And I of course take the position that anything Trisha likes.

136
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:53.160
<v Speaker 4>I cannot because.

137
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:57.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, ridiculous, going against the grain.

138
00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.560
<v Speaker 3>It's just my nature. It's just just who I am.

139
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 1>But it's a great story, though, I mean seriously, to

140
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.360
<v Speaker 1>get into the chicken business and just do chicken.

141
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.399
<v Speaker 2>It was the story that turn me into a customer. Yeah,

142
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.240
<v Speaker 2>not necessarily the chicken, like the chicken was. I guess

143
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.000
<v Speaker 2>I missed out on the sauce, but I'll try.

144
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.720
<v Speaker 5>But in my just from what I've learned, had a

145
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.519
<v Speaker 5>lot of canes. One little thing of sauce is not enough.

146
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.160
<v Speaker 5>You always get an extra two sauces, that's what you want.

147
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.560
<v Speaker 1>But you know what, There's a guy that I follow

148
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and watch his videos and stuff, and he talks about

149
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.319
<v Speaker 1>if you really, really really want to be successful, you

150
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:35.879
<v Speaker 1>have to accept the fact that you're not going to

151
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:39.639
<v Speaker 1>be understood, Like, you have to just accept that and

152
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.519
<v Speaker 1>people will tell you it's not going to works. That

153
00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:44.240
<v Speaker 1>people are going to tell you it's not going to work.

154
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>They're they're not going to get you. They're not going

155
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.959
<v Speaker 1>to understand you. Just accept that.

156
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:49.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think about it.

157
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.800
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be you know, Okay, we're not going

158
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:54.959
<v Speaker 2>to talk politics, but think about all the companies that

159
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.399
<v Speaker 2>Elon Musk has started, the richest man.

160
00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.240
<v Speaker 5>And that people thought he was crazy crazy.

161
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to start a car company, are you nuts?

162
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:04.199
<v Speaker 3>Right? Yeah?

163
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:07.160
<v Speaker 2>I want to go to Mars, Are you crazy? I

164
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.399
<v Speaker 2>want to put computer chips in people's brains? Right, I

165
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:18.120
<v Speaker 2>want to dig tundles under cities. Everything he does is crazy, right, yeah,

166
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.319
<v Speaker 2>on inception, on inception.

167
00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:23.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, then it's like it's pretty a lot easier to

168
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.720
<v Speaker 1>think that big when you've got PayPal money, you know,

169
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>when you.

170
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.959
<v Speaker 2>Even pay Yeah, I want to compete with banks.

171
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.840
<v Speaker 3>Right. He took on the establishment, that's for sure.

172
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:37.759
<v Speaker 5>I like the Adam Sandler story that he was in

173
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.279
<v Speaker 5>college trying to be an actor and one of his

174
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.879
<v Speaker 5>teachers are like, dude, you are never going to make

175
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:47.639
<v Speaker 5>it as an actor like, it's not going to work.

176
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.240
<v Speaker 5>I'm trying to help you out. You need to pick

177
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.919
<v Speaker 5>something different to do. And then years and years and

178
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.399
<v Speaker 5>years later, he runs into that same professor at a bar,

179
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.600
<v Speaker 5>buys him a drink. He's like, I can't remember if

180
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.080
<v Speaker 5>they hit on the remember what she told me kind

181
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:02.519
<v Speaker 5>of thing. But he was like, yeah, it was a

182
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:04.600
<v Speaker 5>huge vindication for me to run into that guy and

183
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:06.519
<v Speaker 5>be like, yeah, not only.

184
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Is he a legit actor, he's one of the highest

185
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.519
<v Speaker 2>grossing people on the more.

186
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Hours of Adam Sandler watched on Netflix than anybody else. Wow,

187
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, think about that. We're just trying to get

188
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.279
<v Speaker 1>on a radio station that everybody, that everyone in the

189
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:26.679
<v Speaker 1>city can hear here, right, I feel like, wait, I

190
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Maybe people think, maybe they're like, you're crazy.

191
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:32.519
<v Speaker 4>We only want some of the people to hear.

192
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>We'd like to be on a radio station that everybody

193
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.679
<v Speaker 1>can hear in the whole city.

194
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.120
<v Speaker 3>We're not trying to go to the mars.

195
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:44.519
<v Speaker 4>People's brains.

196
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.840
<v Speaker 2>We're not trying to start a car company. We just

197
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:48.639
<v Speaker 2>want to get on a radio station.

198
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:54.399
<v Speaker 3>Our competition's pretty weak. I mean it's really weak.

199
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>If you want to know the truth, we could go

200
00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:59.759
<v Speaker 1>right to the top, is all I'm saying.

201
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.120
<v Speaker 3>Very low risk here, very low risk.

202
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.399
<v Speaker 4>There's really no way to do work. There's no risk.

203
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:11.639
<v Speaker 3>So I just had to get that off.

204
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and unlike Graves with with canes, we picked an

205
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.240
<v Speaker 2>industry where everyone kind of sucks.

206
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.840
<v Speaker 6>And we just gotta be in death competition. We got

207
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:32.559
<v Speaker 6>to just be slightly good. Yeah, just gotta be a

208
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:35.799
<v Speaker 6>little work, a little harder. It just has to be

209
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:36.879
<v Speaker 6>a little better than that.

210
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:38.919
<v Speaker 1>Don't get us wrong. We want to be done by

211
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:46.440
<v Speaker 1>ten thirty. But oh lord, I hope someone hears that.

212
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.080
<v Speaker 1>They hear the humor in our voice. I also hope

213
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.799
<v Speaker 1>they hear this this serious. All right, Welcome to the club, JB.

<v Speaker 1>most effects effective. And I'm fixing to call mosquito Joe.

245

250
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:40.799

251
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:47.720
<v Speaker 2>System Mosito MCS Austin dot Com. Okay, because they're they're uh,

252
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure, Like again on Mosquito Joe's probably fine. That's

253
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:54.879
<v Speaker 2>a franchise and these guys built it from the ground

254
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.360
<v Speaker 2>up with their own equipment and stuff like that. And

255
00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 2>I had really it's like I had it at my

256
00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:00.240
<v Speaker 2>old house.

257
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:01.320
<v Speaker 3>I need it.

258
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:04.559
<v Speaker 2>And the reason I like, I don't have much of

259
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:07.320
<v Speaker 2>a mosquito problem here because my yards zero escaped, but

260
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:08.960
<v Speaker 2>my daughter has moved into this place.

261
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:11.039
<v Speaker 3>What MCS does.

262
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:14.320
<v Speaker 2>They come in and they put in a big tank

263
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:18.639
<v Speaker 2>on the side of your house and they use this

264
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:24.000
<v Speaker 2>chrysanthemum extract and it's so it's natural, it won't harm

265
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.519
<v Speaker 2>your pets or anything like that. And then they it

266
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:29.039
<v Speaker 2>has a pump and then they run a little tiny

267
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:32.279
<v Speaker 2>like it's almost it's basically like a misting system that

268
00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.759
<v Speaker 2>goes around the perimeter of your yard and has these

269
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.159
<v Speaker 2>little nozzles and it sprays like a couple times a night,

270
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:43.000
<v Speaker 2>like at midnight, and like four am kills everything.

271
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.200
<v Speaker 3>Be very very passionate about fighting mosquito.

272
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:50.960
<v Speaker 4>I like it that our listener is fixing to do

273
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:51.759
<v Speaker 4>something right.

274
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:52.080
<v Speaker 3>Right.

275
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:54.960
<v Speaker 1>She wrapped this up by saying, please keep us updated

276
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.919
<v Speaker 1>on your mosquito journey. Love you guys, listen every single day.

<v Speaker 1>Here is another text message. This goes kind of way back,

278
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and this is from what's her name ahead, I'll have

279
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:05.679
<v Speaker 1>it in.

00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:06.279
<v Speaker 3>Just a second.

281
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.320
<v Speaker 1>She wanted to note the name of the Tom Jones

282
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>song we used to play. She's asking this in twenty

283
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:15.919
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, right, I wrote her back, let her know

284
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.600

<v Speaker 3>There is not there.

290
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.720
<v Speaker 1>I think that Kimberly and Paul were both talking about

291
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:39.399
<v Speaker 1>the same one. Kimberly said Slaughter Lane South Austin. Paul

292
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:41.360
<v Speaker 1>said slaughter And I'm thirty five.

310
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Stories we Love Live.

311
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.360
<v Speaker 4>From the Lester Holtz Studios.

312
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.000
<v Speaker 5>It's Trisha Delicia.

313
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:41.399
<v Speaker 2>All right.

314
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.799
<v Speaker 5>So, Sadie, you were confused and said that Austin is

315
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:47.519
<v Speaker 5>starting to attack the harpful algae blooms. I thought the

316
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:50.440
<v Speaker 5>same thing, but please know that Austin has been fighting

317
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.759
<v Speaker 5>this for five years. They're in their final stage of

318
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:59.039
<v Speaker 5>attack against the algae blooms that killed several dogs in

319
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.440
<v Speaker 5>Ladybird Lake in like twenty nineteen it killed another dog

320
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:03.519
<v Speaker 5>in twenty twenty one.

321
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:06.120
<v Speaker 3>What's it's helped me out. What's an algae blow?

322
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:09.480
<v Speaker 5>It's it's just like a blue green algae that grows

323
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:13.320
<v Speaker 5>and it's toxic to animals, not to humans.

324
00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:16.840
<v Speaker 2>It grows, it grows when all these all the heat

325
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:19.840
<v Speaker 2>we have, yeah, summer, like it dies in the winter,

326
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:23.960
<v Speaker 2>grows in the summer. And the lake, as you guys know,

327
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Lake Travis has been down for what coming up on

328
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:27.080
<v Speaker 2>five years.

329
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:27.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, forever.

330
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:30.720
<v Speaker 2>So if they're not releasing as much, it's not flowing

331
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:32.559
<v Speaker 2>down river as much, it's more stagnant.

332
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:35.320
<v Speaker 3>God bad, but yeah.

333
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:37.279
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, fatal to dogs. It can make people sick.

334
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:39.720
<v Speaker 5>But I did not realize that they have been fighting

335
00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:41.799
<v Speaker 5>it for the last five years and to get rid

336
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.000
<v Speaker 5>of this, they have been spending three hundred thousand dollars

337
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.919
<v Speaker 5>a year to spray this modified clay product on the water.

338
00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:52.120
<v Speaker 5>And what that does is it sucks the phosphorus out

339
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:55.519
<v Speaker 5>of the algae and reduces the growth. So they've had

340
00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:00.559
<v Speaker 5>really good results upstream like redbet Aisle, not great in

341
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:04.000
<v Speaker 5>Ladyburg Lake. But this is the end of the pilot program,

342
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:06.079
<v Speaker 5>so they're at the end of this one.

343
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:06.559
<v Speaker 4>This is over.

344
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:09.079
<v Speaker 5>They have three more months, I believe, to do this,

345
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.000
<v Speaker 5>and then they have to decide are they going to

346
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:12.440
<v Speaker 5>keep doing it or are they going to try something

347
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:16.240
<v Speaker 5>different because it's not apparently as effective as they hoped

348
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:16.839
<v Speaker 5>it would be.

349
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:18.200
<v Speaker 3>Huh.

350
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.720
<v Speaker 2>It's it's hard to play mother Nature or God if

351
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:24.319
<v Speaker 2>you want to call it that with stuff like this.

352
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:28.119
<v Speaker 2>Because I actually shot a video I haven't posted. I

353
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:34.960
<v Speaker 2>shot a video yesterday. The duck weed, the hydrilla is back,

354
00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:39.799
<v Speaker 2>like it came on in force in just the last

355
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:40.960
<v Speaker 2>three weeks.

356
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.160
<v Speaker 4>Didn't they put fish carp or something in there to

357
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:45.559
<v Speaker 4>get all At one.

358
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Point, which is exactly where I'm going with this if

359
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:50.680
<v Speaker 2>you start playing God, here's what happened on Lake Austin

360
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:56.400
<v Speaker 2>the out the the duck weed, the hydrilla had pretty

361
00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.359
<v Speaker 2>much it made parts of the lake impassable by both

362
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:00.640
<v Speaker 2>you get all in it.

363
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:01.519
<v Speaker 3>It was really bad.

364
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:06.680
<v Speaker 2>And so they put thousands and thousands and thousands of

365
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:11.960
<v Speaker 2>sterile carp to eat it all, which they did, but

366
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:14.839
<v Speaker 2>they ate all the validation.

367
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:16.759
<v Speaker 3>All of it, like.

368
00:18:16.839 --> 00:18:19.799
<v Speaker 2>You know, any of the Marshy shoreline was just gone.

369
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:24.160
<v Speaker 2>And so then the you know, when with all the

370
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:27.839
<v Speaker 2>vegetation gone, the bottom of the lake was just a murky,

371
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:32.440
<v Speaker 2>muddy mess, and so the water was getting more more brownish,

372
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:35.880
<v Speaker 2>and you know, and then the I guess those carp

373
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.759
<v Speaker 2>have died out. So then then so when it ate

374
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:43.279
<v Speaker 2>all the vegetation, then the bass numbers were declining. That

375
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:45.880
<v Speaker 2>was That's really one of the best bass fishing lakes

376
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.359
<v Speaker 2>in Texas. It was on the decline. It's just like

377
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:52.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna start playing God. It just it's it's it's

378
00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:55.359
<v Speaker 2>messed up. I mean, I guess I guess it starts

379
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:57.880
<v Speaker 2>with damming up the river, right.

380
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly, m l Us and all the Highland lakes, right,

381
00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:05.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is is that LCRA.

382
00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:06.119
<v Speaker 3>That did that? Probably?

383
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know.

384
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:10.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, But if you change, somebody in the

385
00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:12.599
<v Speaker 1>meeting would go, well, what if they eat all of it?

386
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:17.039
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me, I have a question. Anyone thought about this?

387
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:19.680
<v Speaker 1>What did these fish eat all of it? I mean,

388
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:20.799
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, it's weird.

389
00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:24.640
<v Speaker 5>Do you know how many products or slogans advertisements that

390
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:26.559
<v Speaker 5>that we've been like, how did.

391
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:27.599
<v Speaker 4>Somebody not catch that?

392
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:28.279
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean?

393
00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:30.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you're right, I feel like that's what happened.

394
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:31.640
<v Speaker 3>How did that come up? In a meeting.

395
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:34.440
<v Speaker 4>But they're like, but they're sterile. They can't multiply. This

396
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:35.319
<v Speaker 4>is the perfect number.

397
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:38.839
<v Speaker 3>How do you know they're all sterile?

398
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:44.559
<v Speaker 4>Like just what it has to slip through, right I

399
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:45.400
<v Speaker 4>I you.

400
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.039
<v Speaker 2>Know, And there was a while there, Yeah, you'd see it,

401
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:50.200
<v Speaker 2>like I guess. I don't know how long Karp lived,

402
00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:52.200
<v Speaker 2>but you'd see it. They were dying out. I don't

403
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:54.559
<v Speaker 2>see him much like if I'm at the marina where

404
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:56.200
<v Speaker 2>it's clear and I can see, I don't see them

405
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.119
<v Speaker 2>like I used to. But man, that hydrilla is back

406
00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:00.680
<v Speaker 2>to there's gonna be a problem there.

407
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:03.920
<v Speaker 5>The average lifespan of a carp is forty five years

408
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:08.599
<v Speaker 5>upwards to seventy years.

409
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.240
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna have a big carp fishing tournament before you

410
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:13.480
<v Speaker 1>know it, right, wow, Wow.

411
00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:13.759
<v Speaker 3>That's okay.

412
00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:17.160
<v Speaker 2>So that being said, there's there should still be plenty

413
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:19.480
<v Speaker 2>of them, and this all this hydrauler shouldn't be.

414
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:21.920
<v Speaker 5>That should have been another I have a question. Yeah,

415
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:23.680
<v Speaker 5>for a long time, I think.

416
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Some of them, like the rest of Austinnights, go to

417
00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Colorado for the summer. That is the story. We love

418
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:34.200
<v Speaker 1>stick around. We're gonna have some fun with with guy Code,

419
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:36.759
<v Speaker 1>which is a very foreign thing. Like I remember once

420
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:39.079
<v Speaker 1>it's explaining to Trisha one of the guy code things

421
00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:41.319
<v Speaker 1>in a year, it'll you don't talk to the dude

422
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:43.559
<v Speaker 1>next to you, No, I know, you know, you know,

423
00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:46.480
<v Speaker 1>you don't do that. There's some other things, and also

424
00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:49.480
<v Speaker 1>a clip from a movie. One of my favorite movies

425
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:52.079
<v Speaker 1>is called It Was the Town with Ben Affleck. I

426
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:53.519
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you guys ever saw it, but there's

427
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:57.200
<v Speaker 1>a classic scene between Ben Affleck and Jeremy Renner in

428
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the movie that is perfect guy code. All right, share

429
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.680
<v Speaker 1>it with you. Coming up on Austin's ads station one

430
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:03.519
<v Speaker 1>O three point one
