Speaker 1: The jav and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty station. What
Speaker 1: three point one. Well, if you're really missing the orange
Speaker 1: jim shorts and panty hose, good news for you sort of.
Speaker 1: Hooters is trying to make a comeback. They're trying to
Speaker 1: fight off bankruptcy by getting a family friendly makeover.
Speaker 2: Interesting. They're three hundred million in debt. Last Oh my god, geez.
Speaker 1: They last year they closed about forty locations in the
Speaker 1: United States. And what they're doing to make it more
Speaker 1: family friendly is dehooterizing.
Speaker 3: They need to go to the opposite direction a little
Speaker 3: bit more, at least ditch the panty hose. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there are there any around here anymore? I are I
Speaker 3: remember the one on Riverside.
Speaker 1: I remember there is one. In fact, it wasn't a
Speaker 1: year and a half ago. A buddy of mine said, hey,
Speaker 1: you want to go to lunch. I'm like, sure, where
Speaker 1: you want to go? And he wrote back, Hooters round
Speaker 1: Rock right off of I thirty five.
Speaker 3: Yes, wait, oh wait, this is okay. I'm seeing all
Speaker 3: the ones permanently closed. Permanently closed, the one in Central one.
Speaker 3: There was one on Riverside at some point, but I
Speaker 3: think you're right. There's still one in Round Rock yep. Yeah,
Speaker 3: still that one's still thriving. That's the only one around town,
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 1: And this is really really the Hooters time of year
Speaker 1: for basketball and stuff during the March bad They used
Speaker 1: to do killer business there. But I think about it, guys,
Speaker 1: Hooters when it first started out, it was the like
Speaker 1: the original restaurant, right, but they got got a lot
Speaker 1: of competition over the years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they started at as the first one, but then
Speaker 4: people glombed onto it.
Speaker 2: And that is a term restaurants restaurant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's one in south Park Meadows, uh called
Speaker 1: Twin Peaks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Twin Peaks is one of them. The Tilted
Speaker 2: Kilt there used to be.
Speaker 3: One, Yeah, I remember maybe maybe up and Round Rock too.
Speaker 4: And right, remember the upside down one Bone Daddy's. That's
Speaker 4: where they cut full shirts but super super short shorts
Speaker 4: or bikini bottoms or something like that.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: Scott Crossett coined that frame upside Down Hooters was the
Speaker 1: was the Bone Daddies One Boat. I don't know how
Speaker 1: that place went out of business. They were always packed
Speaker 1: and they had good barbecue there, they really did.
Speaker 2: I would go in there. I loved it.
Speaker 5: I went in there a few times.
Speaker 2: It was good.
Speaker 1: And then there was a rumor that I heard that
Speaker 1: that building on one eighty three was going to become
Speaker 1: a a We just mentioned a Peaks Twin Peaks place, right,
Speaker 1: so guys, guys will go, I guess I mean Hooters
Speaker 1: a struggling but.
Speaker 4: Appearently and not enough guys are going in, So I
Speaker 4: think that's why they're like, if we can get them
Speaker 4: to bring their families in, they'll spend more money.
Speaker 5: But then why even call yourself a Hooters.
Speaker 2: At that point, I know you might as well go
Speaker 2: to Pluckers.
Speaker 5: Right, might as well just be something else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they they did say that they they're not really
Speaker 1: saying exactly what they'd be changing to make it more
Speaker 1: PG family friendly. But I would bet you like Bikini
Speaker 1: Knight will be phased out, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a That was a time and a
Speaker 3: place where you take your young son there with this
Speaker 3: little mullet.
Speaker 4: Remember there were some lawsuits I don't know back in
Speaker 4: the day because they were like they won't hire me
Speaker 4: because I'm not thin enough for my boots aren't big enough,
Speaker 4: or something like that.
Speaker 1: Where you're playing it and then there was always that.
Speaker 1: There was always the head hooter and she or she
Speaker 1: was either pregnant or couldn't pass her TABC licensing and
Speaker 1: wore the white sweatshirt and stood at the front.
Speaker 5: Wow that you know, that is terrifying.
Speaker 1: That's my own theory really, But I remember the white
Speaker 1: long sleeve hoodie that they always wore. There were there
Speaker 1: were these places popping up. What was the place? The
Speaker 1: haircut place? One ay three in Lamar, little tiny place
Speaker 1: and they.
Speaker 3: Scissors, yes, yes, yes, from Kim Fong, Yes exactly. Oh god,
Speaker 3: I forgot about that. But I would have never gone
Speaker 3: in there, I remember.
Speaker 5: Not even out of curiosity. I went to see you
Speaker 5: went you don't even have hair.
Speaker 1: I went with a friend of mine because I was
Speaker 1: super curious. And what lured me in was the beauty
Speaker 1: operators standing outside in their lingerie smoking cigarettes. It looked
Speaker 1: like a bordello. It looked like a bordello. It looked
Speaker 1: like a whorehouse in boys Town in Mexico. You want
Speaker 1: to cut your hair.
Speaker 3: And there was a trend there for a while where
Speaker 3: it was girls in bikinis serving coffee.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, it's all Landman style. Remember that.
Speaker 3: I want to see a chick and a bikini first
Speaker 3: thing in the morning.
Speaker 5: Yep, anything.
Speaker 2: There was one at six twenty two.
Speaker 1: They had a little trailer there and they served they
Speaker 1: served coffee and bikinis.
Speaker 2: I forgot that wasn't Landman, wasn't it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the big giant line around the corner as the
Speaker 4: workers were on their way out to the whale field.
Speaker 4: It's right, yeah, I remember watching that. I didn't know
Speaker 4: that was a thing. Landman was the first time I
Speaker 4: saw it. I was like, that is brilliant.
Speaker 3: That probably today in like Midland probably still is a thing.
Speaker 4: It could be a thing anywhere. I mean, you can
Speaker 4: get coffee anywhere. Think about it. You got to stand
Speaker 4: out somehow. I thought it was a brilliant idea. I
Speaker 4: didn't know it was a real thing.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: I just wonder out what kind of cream you're getting
Speaker 1: put in coffee when you're what.
Speaker 2: They just made a breast milk ice cream. Babes Espresso.
Speaker 2: You found it.
Speaker 3: There is one Fuego Espresso in Midland. There you go,
Speaker 3: Oh my god, they got an Instagram page. Oh that's lingerie.
Speaker 3: That's not bikini. What's the Instagram page?
Speaker 2: Uh? Fuego espresso.
Speaker 4: So they went from bikini coffee to lingerie coffee. You know,
Speaker 4: we're one step away from naked coffee. That's gonna happen. Now,
Speaker 4: that's only progression.
Speaker 2: Whoa, okay, oh.
Speaker 5: Now I gotta look too, Waygo Coffee.
Speaker 2: I found it. You know all the listeners are pulling
Speaker 2: it up too.
Speaker 3: Let's all just let's just all take a technical break together,
Speaker 3: shall we?
Speaker 5: Barred there?
Speaker 2: Holy catfish.
Speaker 1: These girls need to be careful when they're pouring hot coffee.
Speaker 5: I know if it splashes. I didn't find the right one, y'all.
Speaker 4: Fuego Coffee espresso, Fuego Espressdego espresso, because mine just had
Speaker 4: pictures of coffee and that's not fun.
Speaker 5: Let's see.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, so there's a few and whoa.

Speaker 3: good lord Boo boom not Boomtown boom. Oh, it's hard
Speaker 3: to say boom and Town Babes espresso. It's a little
Speaker 3: pink drive up our story. Oh this ought to be good.

Speaker 3: by entrepreneur and coffee industry professional.
Speaker 2: Nica Nica Gray.
Speaker 3: There are now three locations total, including one on the
Speaker 3: Bachan oil Field in North Dakota and two in the
Speaker 3: Permian Basin and Odessa. This Boomtown Babes Espresso is solely
Speaker 3: owned by Nica. I mean Nice's knowledge and experience was
Speaker 3: cultivated in the city that produced the coffee chain Giants, Starbucks,
Speaker 3: Oh My God, and it Just keeps. After completing extensive
Speaker 3: research of the economic conditions and demographics of the region,
Speaker 3: it was concluded that the Bachan oil Field offered the
Speaker 3: greatest opportunity for Boomtown to succeed.
Speaker 5: Because it's all dudes.
Speaker 2: It's all dudes, all dude exactly.
Speaker 3: Boomtown was introduced to the Bachan Basin during the peak
Speaker 3: of the economic boom, when the Guide to girl ratio
Speaker 3: was one hundred to one.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: Wow, But a butt is a big player in serving
Speaker 4: coffee there.

Speaker 3: national media attention within four months of opening for business. Today,
Speaker 3: Boomtown has been featured in major outlets including Fortune, ABC
Speaker 3: News Broadcast, CNN, live on CNBC, CCTV Travel Channel US
Speaker 3: and Europe.
Speaker 1: I think it's very funny that Fuego Espresso. The interior
Speaker 1: lighting of there, I think that's a little trailer. The
Speaker 1: interior lighting is a red light, just like the red
Speaker 1: light districts of Neon. Yeah, a lot of tattoos. This
Speaker 1: girl's gotten a huge tattoo on her right butt cheek
Speaker 1: of a spider web with a with a it's huge,
Speaker 1: with a black widow spider. And then on her forearm,
Speaker 1: which is resting on her hip is.
Speaker 4: Jesus, balance, balance, and everything is important.
Speaker 2: I just wasn't expecting you to Jesus.
Speaker 4: Oh man, Well who I think you can choose your
Speaker 4: barista too, They got him listed.
Speaker 5: I might go with either Jazz or Peach. I don't know,
Speaker 5: but yeah, the whole you can pick your.
Speaker 3: Girl, Peach, that blonde girl, I believe, so, you know,
Speaker 3: we might be kind of laughing.
Speaker 2: I bet they kill it on tips. Oh, I bet
Speaker 2: they did too. I bet they do. Makes you so
Speaker 2: much money.
Speaker 1: The hardest thing for them is probably, you know, leaving
Speaker 1: the strip club at two in the morning, then getting
Speaker 1: up at five.
Speaker 2: Stay warm, yeah, winter, stay at warm. It is right. Well, Hooter's.
Speaker 1: Good luck to you as you as you dehooterize America's
Speaker 1: Hooters and try to stay in business. But good luck
Speaker 1: you better do a lot because you've got a lot
Speaker 1: of competition. One thing I would say, upgrade your menu
Speaker 1: a little bit, get ditch the ditch the panty hose.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not bad. I mean, it's been a long
Speaker 3: time since I've been there. I remember it being pretty good.
Speaker 1: The chicken wing business is tough, though, Yeah, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of money and chicken wings.
Speaker 4: What really, Because there's a chicken wing business everywhere you go.
Speaker 4: Apparently anybody can sell chicken wings and they don't even
Speaker 4: have to be good.
Speaker 5: I don't think it's tough.
Speaker 1: What if we do a like the coffee, the chicken
Speaker 1: wing version of the coffee, with the drive up and
Speaker 1: the bikinis and the.
Speaker 4: Whole Can you imagine trying to fry chicken in the lingerie?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, that's not a wings and lacy things.
Speaker 5: Wings and.
Speaker 1: Austin's eight station. What three point one? Well, it's that
Speaker 1: time of year where all kinds of different legislation gets proposed,
Speaker 1: and there's always some kind of funny laws that somebody
Speaker 1: somewhere is trying to get passed, right, and I think
Speaker 1: a lot of it is to gain notoriety to themselves,
Speaker 1: just to get some print or.
Speaker 3: Get some yeah, some kind of story, low hanging fruit
Speaker 3: that doesn't really affect things too much.
Speaker 2: Right, But there's a guy. Where's this guy from?
Speaker 5: It's the governor of Idaho just signed this bill.
Speaker 4: Oh they got passed. It got passed, he got signed.
Speaker 4: So I'm never thought about living in Idaho, but I
Speaker 4: like this.
Speaker 2: I might. Well. Can you set it?
Speaker 1: If you cross the line, the state line from Washington
Speaker 1: State into Idaho, you better be sure you take your
Speaker 1: truck nuts off.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 4: The governor has banned anything that represents genitals cannot be
Speaker 4: out in public, and just forget it basically is focusing
Speaker 4: on boobs, like artificial boobs, toyser products resembling genitals, and
Speaker 4: I think just forget measure he threw in things like
Speaker 4: truck nuts.
Speaker 2: And actually mentioned name, mentioned by name. Gosh, you guys.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a dude's dude, but even I'm a
Speaker 1: bit appalled when I pull up to a stop light
Speaker 1: and the truck in front of me has got a
Speaker 1: set hanging you know, what I mean.
Speaker 5: Make them so realistic looking. It's nasty.
Speaker 3: It's offensive when a squirrel is sporting.
Speaker 4: I'm dude, I feel like we've talked for years how
Speaker 4: that is a very disproportionate body to.
Speaker 5: Stuff ratio.
Speaker 3: It's interesting, Like you go to the rodeo and it's
Speaker 3: like some of the hogs and stuff.
Speaker 2: You're like whoa, and.
Speaker 5: You have to try and look away and it's uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how the squirrel can jump from
Speaker 1: one branch to another branch with that. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: really define physics here. But I've always joked if I
Speaker 1: value my life too much to Tricia, like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get a pair of these truck nuts. I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: them on your truck, and I'm not going to tell
Speaker 1: you about it, and see how.
Speaker 5: I would kill you.
Speaker 4: I am so offended by them, engrossed out by them
Speaker 4: that the thought of me toodling around in my car
Speaker 4: that it keeps so clean and nice and neat and
Speaker 4: those are hanging on the back and I don't know it.
Speaker 5: Oh, I would be furious with you, Sandy.
Speaker 1: So what's the most is are truck nuts the most
Speaker 1: offensive thing you can put on your vehicle.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think so more.
Speaker 2: Than Calvin p and on.
Speaker 4: Huh that was number two, A sticker of Calvin peeing
Speaker 4: on anything.
Speaker 5: I think that's really gross too.
Speaker 4: Any any human bodily functions or genitals, I don't think
Speaker 4: they to be on your car.
Speaker 1: Yeah, truck nuts, I think it's gross.
Speaker 2: It's pretty funny though. What about the what about the
Speaker 2: naked lady mudflaps?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I don't care about those, like on big trucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, classic, Yeah, that's kind of Betty boopish, right, yeah, girl, right.
Speaker 5: But the problem with the truck nuts is, like again,
Speaker 5: they make them.
Speaker 4: Look try and make them look so realistic, and they
Speaker 4: always look like old, like old man ones, right, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean? Super hangy, come on, nothing attractive
Speaker 4: about that.
Speaker 1: Oh goodness. Wow, all right, there's a very strange conversation.
Speaker 1: I can't figure out how to end. I guys, just remember,
Speaker 1: if you're driving into Idaho, don't have your truck nuts on.
Speaker 5: Hold on. But let me tell you this.
Speaker 4: They can't put truck nuts in the actual wording. So
Speaker 4: in the bill it says that police can pull you
Speaker 4: over for dangling fox scrotums.
Speaker 1: Oh, do you have any reason why you've been the cops,
Speaker 1: like any reason you have any idea why I pulled
Speaker 1: you over. No, well, sir, it's the dangling faux scrotum.
Speaker 3: It all depends on how you say that. It comes
Speaker 3: off really funny. What are you doing, I'm dangling postcrotems.
Speaker 5: It kind of sounds cool when you sound it like that.
