Speaker 3: You know it's funny. No one would have done that
Speaker 3: in the late seventies.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 3: People didn't want to get in the water period. That
Speaker 3: movie scared people so much.
Speaker 4: I know some people who've gone and they know that
Speaker 4: someone's going to swim underneath them and grab them while
Speaker 4: they're floating and watching the movie, and they still say
Speaker 4: it's incredibly terrifying.
Speaker 1: They've teamed up with the Alamo Draft House and they're
Speaker 1: celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Jaws.

Speaker 3: Are for all their movies. Always bad things happening in
Speaker 3: the Ocean Lakes right Friday to THIRDI oh yeah, Titanic, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't think of that point.
Speaker 1: Jows did scare the crap out of people though, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: just the music alone, right, some other stuff that's going
Speaker 1: on around Austin if you want to get out.
Speaker 3: I think there's a sorry there. I think there was
Speaker 3: a real story behind that. What's the famous guy that
Speaker 3: Williams that did jows think John Williams when he presented that,
Speaker 3: they were like, what these two notes? Steven Spielberg he
Speaker 3: thought it was like a joke. Yep, yeah, and and
Speaker 3: didn't get it. And look at what it's still today.
Speaker 3: I know that's those two notes. Anyway, Yeah, incredible. I
Speaker 3: think it was a cool story. I love reading the
Speaker 3: origins and music stories. If you like the story.
Speaker 4: There's a John Williams documentary about all of the shows
Speaker 4: that he did the scores for, and that story with
Speaker 4: Spielberg is in it, so you should watch it.
Speaker 1: Jamie, you know who also did a lot of movie scores.
Speaker 1: It was one of the guys from Oingo Boingo. Really,
Speaker 1: I mean we're just talking. I just read this article
Speaker 1: about him. Of course he did all the Oingo Boingo stuff,
Speaker 1: but then went on to come to score dozens and
Speaker 1: dozens of movies that you're very, very familiar with, So
Speaker 1: clearly that was more profitable for him than sticking with
Speaker 1: the Oingo Boingo back in the day.
Speaker 2: Other stuff.
Speaker 1: The Paramount Summer Film Series is going on this summer
Speaker 1: as well. You can also this is kind of I
Speaker 1: first saw this and I'm like, really, why would you
Speaker 1: want to just walk around the Capitol.
Speaker 2: But I guess it's kind of cool.
Speaker 1: The Austin American Statesman recommends it just go for a
Speaker 1: walk around the capitol grounds, and I still think it's
Speaker 1: crazy that you can just walk into the Capitol.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it exciting for people like Trician.
Speaker 3: I grew up here. That was a field trip every
Speaker 3: year when you were a little kid, oh Hata.
Speaker 4: And I lived there because my mom worked there for
Speaker 4: ten years.
Speaker 3: So over the capital.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they have a ton of squirrels. I don't
Speaker 4: know if they encourage it or not, but I did
Speaker 4: nothing but feed the squirrels. I mean, the trees there
Speaker 4: are so old and beautiful. It's gorgeous grounds. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's if people like stuff like that. The Capitol is
Speaker 4: definitely a great place to go to walk around.
Speaker 1: I may get in trouble for saying this, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say it anyway. I had a meeting right next
Speaker 1: door to the Governor's mansion, right and it was on
Speaker 1: the seventh floor of a downtown office building. The guy
Speaker 1: that I met with who has his office in there,
Speaker 1: We're in the conference room and I was looking out
Speaker 1: the window. I go, wow, this is an amazing view.
Speaker 1: And he's got a patio out out of the conference
Speaker 1: room there that you can step out, and I go,
Speaker 1: this is an amazing view. He goes, yeah, it's also
Speaker 1: the most insecure governor's mansion in the world.
Speaker 2: Oh, And I was like, oh.
Speaker 3: My god, you're yes, like right there off Leavaca tenth
Speaker 3: and is it Levaca or I can't remember.
Speaker 2: I think it's right.
Speaker 1: But you're literally in this office building on a balcony
Speaker 1: looking down into the governor's mansions backyard.
Speaker 3: And you remember it was that that that mansion was
Speaker 3: shut down for at least a couple of years because
Speaker 3: someone like through a handmade bomb bomb at the door,
Speaker 3: and it was it was the governor couldn't live there
Speaker 3: for a couple of years while they did some The
Speaker 3: major was that.
Speaker 2: During Bush or Parry. I don't remember.
Speaker 3: Sharing Perry was right when Perry got into office, right.
Speaker 2: But it's crazy to think.
Speaker 1: I mean, and by the way, the governor has a
Speaker 1: very nice swimming pool and Yellow labs. Wow, I saw
Speaker 1: them just romping around in the backyard.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It shouldn't be that accessible. No, No, it just seems wrong.
Speaker 4: Did you not see DPS officers. I mean, I feel
Speaker 4: like they would just be stationed all around the property.
Speaker 1: They got them at the front gates, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, they were there at the front gate security.
Speaker 1: You'd definitely see them there. But I'm just saying it's
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have to have Nolan Ryan's arm to throw
Speaker 1: something into the backyard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that. People don't do that.
Speaker 2: Not trying to give anybody any ideas, I'm just saying
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 1: I was amazed at the lack of security above the
Speaker 1: Governor's mansion. So, uh boy, I hope I don't get
Speaker 1: a visit from Secret Service. I really really probably shouldn't have.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to do some good. I'm just pointing
Speaker 1: out a weakness that you guys have overlooked.
Speaker 2: I am pointing out a flaw in the security of
Speaker 2: the government.
Speaker 3: The hackers to design better cybersecurity.
Speaker 2: Right exactly. JB.
Speaker 1: I know you're like, in fact, your wife and your
Speaker 1: mother in law recently went down to Houston to check
Speaker 1: out some museums. But the Austin American Statesman recommends checking
Speaker 1: out some of the museums in Austin, the Blackton Museum
Speaker 1: of Art, the Contemporary Art, Jones Center, the Mexico Art Museum,
Speaker 1: the umlav Sculpture Garden, a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3: Like that Umlaf just I don't know if they still
Speaker 3: have it. They did a big faar of faucet. Oh cool,
Speaker 3: she eat under Umlauf.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 4: The University of Texas Art and Sculpture not know that.
Speaker 4: So like you're walking through umlaugh gardens. And then there's
Speaker 4: the postra para faucet in the red bikini.
Speaker 2: Yeah there.
Speaker 3: Remember we saw that a statue that Umlauf did, the
Speaker 3: statue of Farah Naked.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sandy and I just practically wanted to jump on
Speaker 3: the thing, start humping the statue, just the idea.
Speaker 1: That it was fair of fhy wasn't that on display
Speaker 1: at a hotel Ella?
Speaker 3: They had it on loan? Yeah, I had a bunch
Speaker 3: of Umlauf stuff on loan.
Speaker 2: Jamie Night, real artsy guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know what's a good you know something
Speaker 1: we really take for granted here in Austin, and no
Speaker 1: one goes to is the LBJ Presidential Library.
Speaker 2: We have a presidential library.
Speaker 3: In the city, and I've never been been once. And
Speaker 3: I'm a you know, I'm a fan of LBJ.
Speaker 2: That all the civil rights man.
Speaker 3: You know. I like the way he ordered pants. I
Speaker 3: brought that story up to a woman who runs that foundation.
Speaker 3: We boy just did not want to hear it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's a pants story.
Speaker 1: Famous recording, its famous recording of President Johnson ordering some
Speaker 1: pants from a tailor and just the way that.
Speaker 2: He goes to Hagar Slack Company.
Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all made some slacks from me four or five
Speaker 1: years ago. I need him long and the long and
Speaker 1: the growing and the double zippa and and he goes
Speaker 1: and make a jacket had that same material.
Speaker 2: I mean, it sounds fine. Horn Leghorn.
Speaker 3: When he's ordered, he said, could you make these pocket
Speaker 3: is a couple of inches deeper? And when I when
Speaker 3: I sit down at night, my knife and my money following.
Speaker 2: My money clip right, and if and if you.
Speaker 3: Could add a little bit down in the crash. You know,
Speaker 3: sometimes it's it's like riding a wild fans. He's so funny,
Speaker 3: so funny. And then he goes, and he goes, and
Speaker 3: he goes, if you could put a you know, maybe
Speaker 3: a little extra engine there that I could take in
Speaker 3: or out.
Speaker 2: I tend.
Speaker 3: I tend to fluctuate ten or twenty pounds a month.
Speaker 1: But then the thing that was amazing is that he
Speaker 1: wanted a jacket made out of the exact same thing
Speaker 1: that the shirt.
Speaker 3: The shirt. He wanted a suit, and he said to
Speaker 3: make the shirt out of the same material. And then
Speaker 3: and it was it was one of the like the bosses,
Speaker 3: like one of the big bosses at Hagar Slack Company,
Speaker 3: which is a much bigger deal back then. And he said,
Speaker 3: mister President, where would you like to send like is
Speaker 3: to send these pants?
Speaker 1: And he goes White House. Okay, yes, sir, him to
Speaker 1: the Whitehouse. Yeah, it's just hysterical. Wish we had that
Speaker 1: clip handy, but I think we did a good job
Speaker 1: of explaining it.
Speaker 2: There was just a place you could search and find.
Speaker 1: I know, the world would be a whole lot easier
Speaker 1: get out and enjoy some stuff in Austin. But that
Speaker 1: LBG Library is impressive, and it's just one of those
Speaker 1: things in my mind that I'll know if you guys
Speaker 1: think the same way.
Speaker 2: It's like, where am I going to park?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: How far am I gonna have to walk to get in?
Speaker 3: It has parking up on the top along Red River.
Speaker 4: If you just just go with the right, there actually
Speaker 4: is a huge parking lot, like on the other side
Speaker 4: of the building from thirty five.
Speaker 3: Parking is not really the issue.
Speaker 4: It's just the getting through the downtown and getting over
Speaker 4: there to it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: One of the busiest they've times they've ever had of
Speaker 3: that museum when it was when that tiny white House
Speaker 3: was on tour.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a miniature white House replica.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: People were lined up around the building. Yeah, see a
Speaker 3: miniature white House. We went to DC in November, no December.
Speaker 4: We went up there for the Army Navy game and
Speaker 4: we got a private tour of the Capitol and they
Speaker 4: have a miniature version of the Capitol made out of
Speaker 4: gingerbread that I would have stood in line to see
Speaker 4: it too.
Speaker 3: And I and Sandy was like, why are you stopping.
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't know, but I have to
Speaker 3: see this and it was amazing.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much to Congressman John Carter's office. He's
Speaker 1: our congressman and his one of his aides helped us
Speaker 1: out and took us on a tour of the capitol.
Speaker 2: Which is really cool. I mean it was, it was
Speaker 2: very cool. You know what, Why not?
Speaker 1: That's what I've gotten to that point, JBM life from
Speaker 1: one line and favors.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not?
Speaker 1: It doesn't hurt to ask, right, Yeah, And you know what,
Speaker 1: I'll vote for John Carter.
Speaker 2: Is that easy? That's all it took. That's all. It took.
Speaker 1: A tour of the wife of the don't care where.
Speaker 1: I got me a private tour at the Capitol. I'm
Speaker 1: voting for.
Speaker 3: I saw that miniature gingerbread house.
Speaker 1: It's just the way that it works, right, So we
Speaker 1: the only time we went to the library was for
Speaker 1: your friends, for your friend's investiture when he became a
Speaker 1: federal judge.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my friend Claire, when her dad became a federal judge.
Speaker 4: That's where his investiture was. It was very cool. But
Speaker 4: I've I've been to the LBG library probably three times
Speaker 4: on field trips, school field trips. It was very forrest, like,
Speaker 4: we're gonna go back to the LBG library hugging.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you guys though, ever?
Speaker 1: Feel I always feel like when I'm on campus anywhere
Speaker 1: at UT and I guess technically that's not on campus, is.
Speaker 3: It is just at the top of the hill.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anytime, I just feel like someone's gonna jump out
Speaker 1: and go, you don't belong here, you don't here.
Speaker 2: Don't you feel that way. I just that's how I feel, like.
Speaker 1: Someone's gonna check my alumni ID or something, you know.
Speaker 1: I just I can't be on the forty acres if
Speaker 1: I didn't go to school there.
Speaker 2: It's just how I feel.
Speaker 4: I've always amazed that I don't get in a car
Speaker 4: accident or hit a pedestrian when I get out of
Speaker 4: the the UT campus area because it is just teemy
Speaker 4: with people in cars.
Speaker 1: And people on the walking around the drag just looking
Speaker 1: at their phones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, no one's paying attention.
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you something that's going to become
Speaker 1: a trend. Okay, this is happening in other parts of
Speaker 1: the world and in England right now.
Speaker 2: It's crazy.
Speaker 1: Do not walk down the street without holding your phone
Speaker 1: with one hand because people are going to snatch it.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: They're driving up on electric bikes that are silent pretty
Speaker 1: much and they're snatching them out of your hand and
Speaker 1: they're gone. That is going to be a deal in
Speaker 1: the United States this summer, trust.
Speaker 3: Me, and it's logged in, yes, so they can quickly
Speaker 3: change your passwords to check your phone.
Speaker 2: Yep. So just be cautious.
Speaker 1: When you were in Colombia, wasn't that one of the
Speaker 1: things they told you is do not look at your
Speaker 1: phone in public.
Speaker 4: Oh, they said, do not have your phone out where
Speaker 4: anybody can see it. You had to have it in
Speaker 4: your purse, which was only a cross body bag, or
Speaker 4: you had to have it in your pocket. If it
Speaker 4: was visible, you were probably going to get targeted. Of course,
Speaker 4: it depended on what part of Columbia Bogata we were in.
Speaker 3: But right, Yeah, my daughter was just traveling and I
Speaker 3: said to her before she left, I was like, I said,
Speaker 3: if anyone is talking to you for no reason and
Speaker 3: you know, maybe asking for directions, just engaging with you,
Speaker 3: I said, hold on to your stuff. If you have
Speaker 3: a backpack, flip it around to the front. I said,
Speaker 3: because that person's engaging you while their friend is pickpocketing.
Speaker 3: I said, if it just seems weird, it probably is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: That's that's how I used to feel when really hot
Speaker 1: girls would come up and talked about her. Stick more
Speaker 1: coming up its Austin's eighties station one O three point
Speaker 1: one
