Speaker 1: This is the JB and Sandy Show podcast. You can
Speaker 1: listen live every morning on one of three point one
Speaker 1: in Austin, or stream the show on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: What is cool?
Speaker 3: Well, apparently someone did a little study and they figured
Speaker 3: out six things make you cool. But we'll disagree with
Speaker 3: those because cool is very subjective and what's cool in
Speaker 3: one place is not always cool in another. We'll get
Speaker 3: to it in a sec that JB I thought of you.
Speaker 3: JB's always trying different kinds of waters and stuff. Right
Speaker 3: if you settled on it. It's always got something new
Speaker 3: that he's drinking, and that's fine, is it?
Speaker 2: Are you a water? I'm not drinking a new flavor.
Speaker 2: That's funny you said that. What do you have?
Speaker 4: It's the Whole Foods three sixty five. It's their brand,
Speaker 4: but it's strawberry, basil mint, sparkling water.
Speaker 2: Is it delightful and refreshing? It's very good, especially in
Speaker 2: the summer. You know, there's recommend it.
Speaker 3: What I want to tell you about that I really
Speaker 3: really like and our daughter likes too.
Speaker 2: Brainwater. Have you ever heard of it? Brainwater? Brainwater? Brainwater?
Speaker 4: Yeah, because there's a brand, there's a brand out of
Speaker 4: Austin called rainwater.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I've not had brainwater. So Brainwater Start also
Speaker 3: has another part of their thing. They're inn Austin company
Speaker 3: brain Juice, and they were kind of like the little
Speaker 3: five hour energy shots, but they weren't the five hour energy.
Speaker 3: Now they've rowed into too brain water and they make
Speaker 3: like an active one, a calming one, several different kinds
Speaker 3: and they're great. No sugar in them. They're not a
Speaker 3: monster energy drink, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I don't even think I've seen that on the shelves anywhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you probably, I've seen the little ones, not the
Speaker 3: brain water itself. But I ordered some our daughters going
Speaker 3: to camp at the end of the week and she
Speaker 3: had one, and she's like, please, please, please, will you
Speaker 3: get me some brainwaters to take the camp. Tricia hates
Speaker 3: that I did it for, but I did.
Speaker 5: I hate it that Landry is going to be the
Speaker 5: kid that shows up to camp with their own special
Speaker 5: water supply.
Speaker 2: She's going to be that.
Speaker 5: She made it seem like all the counselors do. Absolutely not.
Speaker 5: She flim flams you. What you got here is a
Speaker 5: flim flam sandy. She just wanted some brainwater. She tricks
Speaker 5: me a lot, man, she does trick you a lot.
Speaker 5: You gotta sharpen it up a little bit. Okay, can
Speaker 5: I see it? I sit here on Amazon because I
Speaker 5: haven't seen in the store. But yeah, there's a there's
Speaker 5: a calm one.
Speaker 3: Active one. There's a bunch of them. They're good, interesting,
Speaker 3: they're really a.
Speaker 2: Little bit of Yeah.
Speaker 4: There's some vitamin B B six B five, vitamin C.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a bunch of good stuff for you. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: there supports dopamine. Yeah.
Speaker 3: There's local lost in company too. They've been around for
Speaker 3: a while, so give it a shot. I got Landry,
Speaker 3: I think a sixteen pack of them, and it was
Speaker 3: not cheap.
Speaker 2: Tell you.
Speaker 3: That was thirty five dollars for a sixteen pack, which
Speaker 3: is just kind of hard to swallow.
Speaker 2: See what I did there, I did hard to swallow.
Speaker 3: All right, let's quickly go through these six things that
Speaker 3: somebody says make you cool. Then we're going to discuss
Speaker 3: what is cool in Austin.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So just so you know, this was a big
Speaker 5: sett It wasn't just a few people, six thousand people
Speaker 5: and a dozen different countries around the world. And here
Speaker 5: are the six traits that they say are fairly universal
Speaker 5: to determine if you're cool or not. The first one
Speaker 5: is being extroverted, next one being adventurous, open to new things,
Speaker 5: trying new things. Open is another one meaning like chatty,
Speaker 5: willing to share, not like closed off. I would imagine
Speaker 5: kind of like being introverted. Autonomous meaning you're fairly independent,
Speaker 5: don't need somebody to do it for you. Hedonistic meaning
Speaker 5: you're fine with doing things that make you happy, like
Speaker 5: things like self care, kind of issue and powerful, a
Speaker 5: powerful person.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how that got physically or powerful and
Speaker 2: like business.
Speaker 5: Confident, don't let people issue around is what they how
Speaker 5: they defined powerful.
Speaker 3: So that's different for every single person listening. And how
Speaker 3: many boxes you you check off right there? But you
Speaker 3: know what's cool? You know what's cool in one city.
Speaker 3: It's very city to city of what's cool, you know,
Speaker 3: and if you've lived in different cities you immediately pick
Speaker 3: up on that, Like I spent a year in Cincinnati,
Speaker 3: and what's cool in Austin is not cool in Cincinnati,
Speaker 3: And what's cool in Cincinnati is not cool in Austin.
Speaker 4: What's what's cool in LA We would probably hate, we'd
Speaker 4: throw up about you a long time Austin night, right.
Speaker 4: I mean I just think if you just moved here,
Speaker 4: just just try to try to blend La stuff, right.
Speaker 6: The flash of La does is not cool in Austin. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 6: it's just blinging and showy. Right, So what is It's
Speaker 6: weird Austin's changing.
Speaker 4: It's what used to make Austin cool was that I
Speaker 4: don't care attitude. Yeah, it was like this slacker thing
Speaker 4: that they literally made a movie about it. Just that's
Speaker 4: what used to be cool. You know, you could you
Speaker 4: could go to Jeffrey's and flip flops. Yes, I wouldn't
Speaker 4: do that today, right.
Speaker 2: But I did back then. Yeah, you know, back in
Speaker 2: twenty years ago, you would.
Speaker 5: Like the cool thing was to not get dressed up.
Speaker 5: It was to be nicely dressed down and you could
Speaker 5: wear jeans and flip flops to almost anything. And now
Speaker 5: I feel like it's this is more of it's turning
Speaker 5: into everything's fancy again.
Speaker 3: It was a very very much it was a very
Speaker 3: kind of like Austin was. Maybe it still is, but
Speaker 3: a very person like you could do your own thing
Speaker 3: and no one cared about you. Why you're freak, Yeah exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you could why you're freak flag proudly and what was
Speaker 3: great is no one else cared. That was what was
Speaker 3: That was what the old term, which I think has
Speaker 3: played out, keep Austin weird as that.
Speaker 4: Was what was weird is like, I mean it was
Speaker 4: normal to see an old guy on a bike sicle
Speaker 4: in a thong.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it, Like that was curious.
Speaker 4: There's a regular day in Austin, like, and that doesn't
Speaker 4: happen much anymore.
Speaker 3: No, because somebody would call the cops, you know, right,
Speaker 3: That's and that's what it used to not be.
Speaker 2: You could do anything, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: Yeah, somebody'd be like, they're not dressed appropriately And I
Speaker 4: had that child in my car who saw them walking
Speaker 4: down Barton Springs. Yeah, shut up. That used to be
Speaker 4: what was so fun about Austin, right right.
Speaker 5: And it's part of the reason people wanted to move
Speaker 5: to Austin, because Austin was different and weird. But now
Speaker 5: so many people are here, the weirds getting pushed out.
Speaker 4: But I'll tell you this, we don't we don't want
Speaker 4: to be Portland weird. No no, no, oh god no no,
Speaker 4: they take it too far.
Speaker 2: Yea.
Speaker 3: The whole the criminalizing of hard drugs didn't.
Speaker 2: Go so well. Yeah, that experiment was not great. Not
Speaker 2: I forgot about that.
Speaker 3: That not a great idea. And I refuse to watch Portlandia.
Speaker 3: Have any of you ever watched that? No?
Speaker 4: I tried to watch it because I like Fred Armison
Speaker 4: a lot. I think he's brilliant. But that is a
Speaker 4: funny sketch. It doesn't sustain for a whole show. That's
Speaker 4: a great point. Great point, So what else do you know?
Speaker 4: Go ahead to be sorry, Yeah, no, it's all I mean.
Speaker 4: Being cool in Austin today, what is it?
Speaker 3: I mean, we're not out and about like we were
Speaker 3: when we were in our thirties, you know, our late twenties.
Speaker 3: But I don't even know what's cool in Austin anymore.
Speaker 3: I'm still sticking with nineteen ninety nine cool.
Speaker 4: I guess I am too, because like I like to
Speaker 4: hang out on South Congress and I hang out at
Speaker 4: the coffee shop or whatever. It's good people watching, it's fun,
Speaker 4: But it's the it's the people who aren't trying hard
Speaker 4: that are cool to me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that are cool to us. Yeah, people who are
Speaker 5: trying hard. I feel like it's the fitness trend remember
Speaker 5: we were talking about those Saturday morning running the parties
Speaker 5: instead of going out Friday night with friends. It's it's
Speaker 5: I feel like everybody's jumping on what the new flashes
Speaker 5: in Austin, which is not what used to happen. People
Speaker 5: just did their own thing, and some people would try
Speaker 5: the new trends.
Speaker 2: Now, what's the newest trend? Is it cold plunging and
Speaker 2: talking about cold friends? Guilty, guilty, I'm guilty?
Speaker 3: Is it pickleball and talking about Okay, that's a great point, guys,
Speaker 3: that's a great point because I think what used to
Speaker 3: be really cool in Austin, and I think all three
Speaker 3: of us are the same.
Speaker 7: We don't chase trends, never did, right, yeh, that's a
Speaker 7: good way to describe being cool. Austin did not chase
Speaker 7: trends back in the day. Maybe it does now, I
Speaker 7: don't know.
Speaker 5: But Christober cool enough to do any of the trends,
Speaker 5: and ever was whether it was some sort of activity
Speaker 5: or whether it was a clothing trend. I was like,
Speaker 5: I don't think. I don't think I can do that.
Speaker 5: I think I look ridiculous. I just did my own
Speaker 5: thing up there you go, thing, you fit right?
Speaker 2: In Hey. Thank you very much for listening.
