Speaker 1: All right, thanks for being with us. My name is Sandy,
Speaker 1: This is JB. Hello, trush us here too.
Speaker 2: Hi, everybody, and power to the people, right, power to
Speaker 2: the people.
Speaker 3: Tried to spoken, yep, and they won.
Speaker 4: They did.
Speaker 1: If you're with us yesterday, we said there's a there's
Speaker 1: certain groups in Austin, Texas you don't want to piss off.
Speaker 1: And one of them is the Barton Spring Swimmers. And
Speaker 1: they were making a move to shut down the late
Speaker 1: night swim and charge you to swim. And they rose
Speaker 1: up and they got organized and they won in the
Speaker 1: city council or whoever parks and rec back down and
Speaker 1: the pool will remain open until ten o'clock with free swimming.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you all. You know, it's all old
Speaker 3: Austinites over over sixty five, whose spearheaded this, who've been
Speaker 3: swimming it for decades, yep. And that was the other thing.
Speaker 3: If you weren't with us yesterday, we were talking about how,
Speaker 3: you know, Austin used to fight back on everything. Mm hmmm.
Speaker 3: We're like, hey, we're thinking painting in my house. No,
Speaker 3: you're not. Like everything was a fight, yes, which which
Speaker 3: kept us a small town for a long long time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, John noticed how quickly it happened, almost like whoever
Speaker 4: made the decision to shut it down was like, I
Speaker 4: don't think this is gonna work. Let's just see what happens.
Speaker 4: And they the moment they pushed back, they're like, all right,
Speaker 4: never mind, never mind, will stay open.
Speaker 1: And social media had a lot to do with it.
Speaker 1: I mean, there was a huge Reddit thread about it.
Speaker 1: All they had to do was read that thread and go, mmm,
Speaker 1: maybe not a good idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's cool that you can finally, you know,
Speaker 1: it seems like a lot of times is change ever stopped,
Speaker 1: you know, like people like very rarely does something like
Speaker 1: this come along, and the people that made the decision go, oops,
Speaker 1: we made a mistake.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: And in this case, so good for the people that said, oops,
Speaker 1: we made a mistake too, right, they realized it was
Speaker 1: a lot more important to some people. Tonight, Texas Stars
Speaker 1: are playing at the HGB Center. JB and I went
Speaker 1: to the game on Monday night and it is or
Speaker 1: what night was it? It was Monday night, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and so again my whole week confused. Sorry, the game
Speaker 1: is tonight and they're taking on Abbotsbury and they're in
Speaker 1: the Western Conference finals. Uh, and it is an absolute blast.
Speaker 1: One of the great things Jbu pointed out yesterday, the
Speaker 1: HGB Center in Cedar Park just did it right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, they just did it right Austin. Historically.
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people listening are new Historically,
Speaker 3: we have tried a lot of minor league sports, and
Speaker 3: we tried hockey before and it failed, you know, and
Speaker 3: then round Rock Express came along, did it right, and
Speaker 3: it showed how it's done. That was great. But then
Speaker 3: when the when, the when the stars came and they
Speaker 3: you know, in home base in the Cedar Park Center,
Speaker 3: You're like, it's NHL, right, I mean it's a smaller venue,
Speaker 3: but they're not much different now and they're pretty good.
Speaker 3: The level of play is pretty.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's one step away from playing in Dallas
Speaker 1: in the in the National Hockey League. By the way,
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup Playoff our final start tonight in the NHL.
Speaker 1: But had a great time. And I just love hockey fan.
Speaker 1: I love hockey fan.
Speaker 3: They're hanging on the glass.
Speaker 1: Telling the refie sucks, you know, pointing. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just great.
Speaker 3: And uh, the does the Cedar Park Center always only
Speaker 3: sell beers that giant.
Speaker 1: I saw that.
Speaker 3: I'm a lover of beer. But when she handed that
Speaker 3: to me, I was like, oh, hey, hey, hey, maybe
Speaker 3: just poured in a bus tub. And then when I
Speaker 3: went back for another, so it was literally like a
Speaker 3: twenty four ounce maybe, so that's two beers.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The nice thing is you don't have to go back
Speaker 3: and forth. And then I went back to another for another,
Speaker 3: and I was like, I just want a small one
Speaker 3: this time. That's too much, and then she there was
Speaker 3: only one size. Yeah, like they're just giant.
Speaker 1: I think it's the first time I've ever As we
Speaker 1: were leaving, it was first time I've ever seen Jimmy
Speaker 1: not finish a beer.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well I only wanted to have three beers, that's what
Speaker 3: it was like, that's just a lot.
Speaker 1: Well it was over the course of three hours, too.
Speaker 3: Right, and I needed to drive back into town. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I just so I had about half of it.
Speaker 4: Did anybody smash up against the glass in front of you, guys?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, nice hockey pucks.
Speaker 3: When that scrap starts happening right in front of you,
Speaker 3: it's like you're in the middle of a fight.
Speaker 4: You're in it.
Speaker 3: I had to pull Sandy back a few times.
Speaker 1: Boy, it was getting chippy at the end too. Towards
Speaker 1: the end of the game the Stars were winning five
Speaker 1: to two. The other abbot's berry was a little bit
Speaker 1: desperate and they were just little jabs and stuff at
Speaker 1: each other away from the puck. It was kind of funny.
Speaker 3: Holding onto their stick, yeah, and pulling on it, you know.
Speaker 3: Just I'm surprised there's not more fights in hockey when
Speaker 3: you really watch it up in person.
Speaker 1: Right, but it was I would lose my patience with
Speaker 1: some guys. It's just a lot of little little pushing,
Speaker 1: a little shoving, little stick to the ribs, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, things like that.
Speaker 4: The enforcer on the team, Sandy, is this reefs or
Speaker 4: the one that goes out and knocks down the ones
Speaker 4: who are being super annoying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you do go to a game, you know
Speaker 1: what's funny to watch. If you sit opposite side of
Speaker 1: the bench where the players are on the bench, just
Speaker 1: look at the bench and at the very end of
Speaker 1: the bench there's the backup goalie and he just sits
Speaker 1: there like a big bear with all his equipment.
Speaker 3: He's just out for the whole time, for the.
Speaker 1: Whole game, he's just sitting there waiting for the other
Speaker 1: guy to screw up so he can get in. But
Speaker 1: he literally like, that's the goalie, the backup goalie spot
Speaker 1: on the bench, and he never moves. That's just where
Speaker 1: he sits the entire time.
Speaker 3: You used to have a theory and hockey thing. I
Speaker 3: think it was you. There's got to be there's gotta
Speaker 3: be a human big enough that you can just sit
Speaker 3: in front of the whole goal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the sumo wrestler. I was like, wow, they ever
Speaker 1: got a sumo wrestler and just cover the whole goal,
Speaker 1: just sit there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's hilarious.
Speaker 3: Chriss cross apple sauce. Right, nothing's getting.
Speaker 1: By good luck guys, right. I don't know they should
Speaker 1: do it, it'd be funny to see. So anyway, that
Speaker 1: game is tonight. I believe tickets are still available. And
Speaker 1: it's such a great arena, perfect size and easy. And
Speaker 1: that's another great thing. You're easy in and you're easy out.
Speaker 1: You know, you get off of the toll way, you
Speaker 1: get right back on the toll way to head home.
Speaker 3: So and you see all those you know, our kids
Speaker 3: are all getting older. You know, your daughter just turned sixteen.
Speaker 3: My daughter's twenty three. But you see those young families
Speaker 3: with their little kids just doing fun stuff.
Speaker 1: It's just cool. It is, and I'm telling you that
Speaker 1: it's this will always be the case no matter what.
Speaker 1: People go monkey nuts over a T shirt. Crazy.
Speaker 4: Oh are they shooting them into the crowd. Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Even the richest of rich will knock over a
Speaker 3: child to get a T shirt. T shirt.
Speaker 1: It's it's insane. People.
Speaker 4: You came home and you're like, look what I got.
Speaker 4: They were in every seat. It was like a free towel. Towel,
Speaker 4: I'm so excited about it.
Speaker 1: Keep it. I grabbed yours. JB. I've got it right here.
Speaker 3: Actually keep it. Okay, I got too funny on the
Speaker 3: T shirt thing. Quick side story. This was a radio
Speaker 3: conference for All Radio Time and Sandy and I we
Speaker 3: were hosting a session and we thought, because DJ's are
Speaker 3: all known for giving out T shirts, right, we're synonymous
Speaker 3: with it, And we thought, I wonder if a conference
Speaker 3: room full of DJs would go clamor for a T shirt.
Speaker 3: And so we had these horrible looking T shirts made.
Speaker 3: It's the what's that painting called where they're touching the
Speaker 3: fingers the Agelo out of the Sustine Chapel. Right, yeah,
Speaker 3: very godlike finger. Yes, they're touching. We did it, but
Speaker 3: they were holding microphones. It was the tackiest T shirt ever.
Speaker 3: And we borrowed a T shirt gun and started firing
Speaker 3: it into the crowd. They were killing each other for it. Oh,
Speaker 3: we were dying laughing it.
Speaker 1: We were making fun of them and they didn't even
Speaker 1: know it.
Speaker 4: That's hilarious.
Speaker 1: Oh, people go nuts for a T shirt. Coming up today,
Speaker 1: we talked about how fun the Stars is a little bit.
Speaker 1: We're gonna tell you some other little things that you
Speaker 1: can do around Austin. You know, school's out and a
Speaker 1: lot of parents, our grandparents are looking for things to
Speaker 1: do with the kids or kids things to do. We've
Speaker 1: got a few of them. In just a little bit,

Speaker 1: we started here, ten thousand steps makes you horny?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah. They're saying that if you can hit ten
Speaker 4: thousand steps a day, you're going to see an uptick
Speaker 4: in your sex life. If basically, if you're healthy, your
Speaker 4: horny is what they're saying.
Speaker 1: Really, there's all a lot of reasons to be healthy.
Speaker 4: Yet another reason to do the ten thousand steps today.

Speaker 4: No, that's basically my story. Do you know that the
Speaker 4: Austin City Limits Radio Summer series is around for thirty
Speaker 4: four years? We almost lost it, like back in twenty
Speaker 4: twenty four for funding issues. But yeah, instead of.
Speaker 1: Just part of acl summer music series.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Blues on the Green is, but it used to
Speaker 4: be all summer long. Now we just have this one
Speaker 4: weekend huck.
Speaker 1: Probably because they weren't making money on it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess so. And of course they're saying all
Speaker 4: the same things. It's gonna be on Barton Springs at
Speaker 4: Zilker Park. Do not try and drive and park down there.
Speaker 4: It's going to cost you twenty Uber down there, Uber
Speaker 4: down there, ride your bike. They have buses running for it.
Speaker 1: I have a question. You know, I've not used it.
Speaker 1: The light rail okay, that goes from Leander in the
Speaker 1: downtown Austin. Do they have somewhere where you could put
Speaker 1: a bicycle on it like they do buses?
Speaker 3: Like, let's not Oh I think.
Speaker 1: Oh can you bring a bicycle onto?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, try and take it down from Cedar Park
Speaker 3: and then just cycle over.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they'll let you. My question is do
Speaker 1: they let you bring a bike onto the train? I
Speaker 1: don't know?
Speaker 3: Good question?
Speaker 4: Oh the train, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but.
Speaker 3: I've got good news. What is it? Spasmatics? Spasmatics, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know why I couldn't think of that.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, yes, oh you know another they wouldn't
Speaker 1: play Blues on the Green, but they're still great guys.
Speaker 1: And they played your wedding.
Speaker 4: Oh dysfunction, just function, jump to what I was thinking of.
Speaker 3: They reunite every now and then and there's a different lineup,
Speaker 3: but then the originals we'll get back together every now
Speaker 3: and then. Yeah, they played my wedding in all one
Speaker 3: hundred and eight degrees of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was really good guys, really good guys Scott
Speaker 2: and Scott's now involved with Purple Be Studios, which is
Speaker 2: really a cool little venue in Blinte and they've got
Speaker 2: other recordings to they're doing a lot of cool stuff.
Speaker 1: So anyway, enjoy your Blues on the Green. How smart
Speaker 1: would it be that if you could bring one of
Speaker 1: those portable cold plunges into Blues on the Green.
Speaker 3: Charge would be a place to sell them, right exactly,
Speaker 3: That's what I'm like.
Speaker 1: Or just charge five dollars a plunge, quick dip.
Speaker 4: Yeah, ew getting in after all the other sweaty people
Speaker 4: got in.
Speaker 1: You do it at Burton Springs, you do it at
Speaker 1: a pool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's different. They have I don't know, that's
Speaker 4: a different.
Speaker 3: That water's moving. Yeah, it's good, that's yeah. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean I have a cold plunge. I'd say, after about
Speaker 3: twenty plunges or so, you want to change it up? Yeah,
Speaker 3: And I go in there after showering, Right, it still
Speaker 3: gets funky.
Speaker 4: That's the word funky.
Speaker 1: Stay with us. We have got a question we're probably
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to answer, but it's something that
Speaker 1: people do when they respond to a text message that
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us know exactly what it means.
Speaker 1: It may be up to your own interpretation, but we'll
Speaker 1: tell you what it is. Stay with us. It's coming
Speaker 1: up on Austin's Dad station one o three point one
Speaker 1: and streaming on iHeartRadio app. There's a certain emoji response
Speaker 1: to a text message that has all three of us baffled.
Speaker 1: You send someone a text message about whatever, and they
Speaker 1: respond with their exclamation points, but it says so and
Speaker 1: so emphasized this.
Speaker 3: My wife did it to me the other day. I
Speaker 3: sent her something and she sent that back and I go, huh,
Speaker 3: that means I've been emphasized. I was a little kind
Speaker 3: of scratching my head and I was like, well, I
Speaker 3: guess it was not a haha. Right, it was not
Speaker 3: really a harder thumbs up sort of situation. Right, and
Speaker 3: you've got an emphasize.
Speaker 1: But you know, the thumbs up that ends all text conversation.
Speaker 1: You know that, right, that's.
Speaker 4: Our Sandy's theory.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's supposed to end it.
Speaker 1: That's the theory. Is when you've been going back and
Speaker 1: forth with somebody on a text thread, the first the
Speaker 1: person that sends the thumbs up. Whenever that happens, that
Speaker 1: text thread is now over.
Speaker 4: Yes, some people don't know when to stop with the text.
Speaker 4: They think they have to respond to everything, so you
Speaker 4: thumbs up them and stop.
Speaker 3: I've never used the emphasize of you what it means.
Speaker 1: It means if there's only a way that you could
Speaker 1: ask the computer figure, if there was just.
Speaker 4: Not in the dictionary.
Speaker 1: Wait, wait a bit, let me get my Oxford's diction. No,
Speaker 1: that's not gonna work.
Speaker 3: Do you still have your set of encyclopedias?
Speaker 1: And no? I sold my Funk and Wagnalls a few
Speaker 1: years ago.
Speaker 3: I stold them, Wow, you found a sucker. Oh okay,
Speaker 3: I just punched it in and something jumped out at me.
Speaker 3: All right, it makes sense, okay that I didn't know,
Speaker 3: and I guess I didn't notice it the other day,
Speaker 3: So I'll start with it, says I asked chat GPT.
Speaker 3: The common uses are to highlight importance like don't forget
Speaker 3: your appointment. Emphasize okay, yeah, to express strong feelings like
Speaker 3: I can't believe this happened okay, underscore sarcasm or disbelief
Speaker 3: like oh great, emphasize okay, react with drama or humor
Speaker 3: like seriously, hmm, emphasize but here's the part that I
Speaker 3: didn't know. I guess I didn't notice it the other day.
Speaker 3: When you emphasize, it shakes, it slams onto the screen
Speaker 3: and shakes a little bit to get your attention. Really,
Speaker 3: I guess I didn't notice that.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 4: But that clears nothing up for me.
Speaker 1: It's kind of that it means hell yeah. I think
Speaker 1: hell yeah. It is probably the best way to describe it.
Speaker 1: Like if you sent me a text about something I
Speaker 1: emphasized it, just imagine me saying hell yeah, that's that's right.
Speaker 4: It probably probably depends on what the text is, like
Speaker 4: if somebody I feel like a double exclamation is like
Speaker 4: are you freaking kidding me? That's always what I think
Speaker 4: it is or like an oh my god, but apparently
Speaker 4: it can. I think it depends on what your subject is.
Speaker 1: I just emphasized something to both of you. Guys. You
Speaker 1: can see what it looks like your phone, if it wiggles, if.
Speaker 3: It didn't wiggle.
Speaker 4: Mine did not wiggle.
Speaker 1: Huh trap is GPT wrong?
Speaker 3: Interesting? Well, maybe that's only on mobile. I'm looking on
Speaker 3: my computer. Are you no mobile? It didn't shake.
Speaker 4: Didn't shake on mobile chat?
Speaker 3: GPT lied to us.
Speaker 4: You mean something you found on the internet is not correct?
Speaker 1: What hard to believe?
Speaker 4: I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: Hard to believe. I don't really. The only ones the
Speaker 1: emojis that I really use is really the thumbs up,
Speaker 1: maybe an occasional ha ha. I'm not big on the
Speaker 1: heart or the question mark.
Speaker 3: Ouse you.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize if you swiped on your emojis. When
Speaker 1: you're doing that on a message, there's more. Oh, I
Speaker 1: changed my.
Speaker 4: Photo more than just the fifteen that were on the
Speaker 4: screen right there.
Speaker 1: No, No, I knew the ones too, Like when you
Speaker 1: use the emojis, but when you like to hold it
Speaker 1: down on a text message and they open up, maybe
Speaker 1: there was more. Trita, you're not the only one that
Speaker 1: finds it funny that I've changed my profile picture on
Speaker 1: my iPhone.
Speaker 4: You did it on my iPhone though, no, but it
Speaker 4: shows up on other people. I didn't accept it.
Speaker 1: It's just a silverback gorilla. Now when I call, I.
Speaker 4: Pushed it and something caught my eye and I lift it.
Speaker 4: It's just this giant gorilla.
Speaker 3: That's a good way to get people to take your call.
Speaker 4: I remember, like I just sent you, guys my favorite emoji,
Speaker 4: Like this represents me most every single day.
Speaker 1: That one or the eye that's the how do you
Speaker 1: explain that? The squinty eyes.
Speaker 3: One Miley face, but it's just straight line.
Speaker 4: It's the eyes, or just straight slits in the mouth.
Speaker 4: It's just a slit, and it's one of those like
Speaker 4: just irritated.
Speaker 3: Like it's kind of like that a knockoff of the
Speaker 3: have a Nice Day Smiley face. But it's just straight lines.
Speaker 4: Right. But he's he's just put out. He's very don't
Speaker 4: hit these people like it's a very you annoy the
Speaker 4: crap out of me emoji sign.
Speaker 1: The one turs sends me that annoys me is the
Speaker 1: eye roll.
Speaker 4: Yeah, whenever he says things, I just sent him an
Speaker 4: eye roll like silly boy.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. So I don't know if we answered any
Speaker 1: questions on the emphasize, but.
Speaker 3: Let's try it out. Let's report back in a week
Speaker 3: or so, and sorry, lives are changed.
Speaker 1: All right? Stick around. More coming up on Austin's eighty
Speaker 1: station one o three point one
