Speaker 3: us anymore. Use the iHeartRadio app, all right. You can
Speaker 3: listen to us everywhere. And I I kind of tend
Speaker 3: to think that most Austinites know how to hook up
Speaker 3: their Bluetooth and their car. You know, they know how
Speaker 3: to do that. That was a great mystery when Bluetooth
Speaker 3: first came out, Yeah, how do I do this? Or,
Speaker 3: as Tricia's mother calls it, the blue wire blue wire.
Speaker 3: We were sitting in her backyard once and she had
Speaker 3: this little speaker and she wanted to have some music
Speaker 3: out on the patio and just kind of chill and
Speaker 3: just she just matter of factly said, Hey, Sandy, we
Speaker 3: helped me blue wire up my speaker. I'm like, no
Speaker 3: greater grandma name is that words have ever been said
Speaker 3: and helped me blue wire. So now when we're around her,
Speaker 3: it's always the blue wire.
Speaker 2: That's funny.
Speaker 1: I was at the DPS office yesterday because every ten
Speaker 1: years you have to go take a new photo.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, how'd it go? The photos horrible?
Speaker 1: But there was an old guy next to me and
Speaker 1: he was there with the sign and it was it
Speaker 1: was really sweet because he's.
Speaker 2: A very old man.
Speaker 1: And you know, they hold up the little I chart
Speaker 1: just to see, you know, see if you can can
Speaker 1: read it or if you're too impaired to get your
Speaker 1: license nude, and he's like, man, I can't read that.
Speaker 2: He goes. He goes. My kids pretty much drive me.
Speaker 1: Everywhere nowadays, and he goes, so I guess she could
Speaker 1: just give me an ID. I'm only going to drive
Speaker 1: and it's a case an emergency, and if it's an emergency,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to care if it's a driver's license
Speaker 1: or an ID. Right, Like, he made such sense, and
Speaker 1: I was the woman was just struggling to help him.
Speaker 2: She kept going, no, you can go to your eye
Speaker 2: doctor and if they'll clear you, then we can do this.
Speaker 1: And he's like, ma'am, it's only going to be an emergency.
Speaker 1: And if it's an emergency, I don't really care what
Speaker 1: that piece of paper says.
Speaker 2: It was just such an old guy logic. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it was awesome. Boy.
Speaker 3: I can relate to that though as a kid that Like,
Speaker 3: my dad's still driving and he's eighty four. And I
Speaker 3: was on the phone with my mom the other day.
Speaker 3: I'm like, hey, let me talk to dad. She goes, oh, no,
Speaker 3: he's not here. He went to go pick up Chinese food.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, oh god, Dad's out on the road.
Speaker 3: Look out there, yeah, look out. He was never a
Speaker 3: good driver to begin with, and he he had a
Speaker 3: fighter pilot. Yeah, you can fly an airplane around the world,
Speaker 3: but has no idea how to get to the Chinese
Speaker 3: food restaurant.
Speaker 2: That was the family joke.
Speaker 1: He had this terrible He was never good at an
Speaker 1: even younger day. He was never a good driver.
Speaker 3: And he you know, he didn't get his driver's license
Speaker 3: till he was like twenty five or twenty six because
Speaker 3: he lived in New York City, didn't need one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Again, he could fly a plane but not drive
Speaker 2: a car. Yeah, it's the weirdest thing. It's hurt car.
Speaker 2: You've been with him.
Speaker 3: Tricia gets nauseous when she'sa Yeah, she drive with both feet.
Speaker 4: Yes, at some point, at some age in your life,
Speaker 4: you go back to driving with both feet, like you know,
Speaker 4: when you're learning, they teach that out of you, and
Speaker 4: at some point you're like, I don't care, I'm.
Speaker 2: Gonna do it.
Speaker 1: I had both feet uber driver recently and it made
Speaker 1: me not Yeah, I'm going to get sick in this car.
Speaker 3: Now, you've got me thinking of my dad driving and
Speaker 3: brought up and we had a nineteen seventy two Volkswagen
Speaker 3: Bug that he still has that's sitting in his garage
Speaker 3: in perfect shape.
Speaker 2: But he would drive. That's a stick shift.
Speaker 3: I didn't going to basketball game or something on a
Speaker 3: Saturday morning and it was freezing cold and Omaha, Nebraska.
Speaker 3: My man would be driving a stick shift while having
Speaker 3: a hot cup of coffee.
Speaker 2: And it's smoking a cigarette.
Speaker 3: And when he didn't wasn't busy smoking the cigarette or
Speaker 3: drinking the coffee, he was scraping the ice off the windshield.
Speaker 2: As we drove down the road.
Speaker 5: Windows rolled up while he was smoking in the car.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I had to beg him to roll the
Speaker 2: window down. God, I smoke.
Speaker 1: I mean, I have such a similar memory. My dad
Speaker 1: bamboozled a friend of his into trading a little dots
Speaker 1: and wagon we had for his VW bug. Turns out
Speaker 1: they were both bamboozling. They were both lemons, but the
Speaker 1: same thing. Riding in my dad in this little bug,
Speaker 1: and he'd have breakfast in one hand and coffee in
Speaker 1: the other, and so I would shift, well, I would
Speaker 1: shift with my left and he would not spill a
Speaker 1: drop of that coffee. And but you know, we didn't
Speaker 1: have kids listening. We didn't have Yetti's and things like that.
Speaker 2: Back then.
Speaker 1: It was a straight up old school coffee cup.
Speaker 2: And they just knew how to balance it, just like
Speaker 2: it was on a gimbal, Like it was just perfect,
Speaker 2: same memory.
Speaker 3: Hey, you guys want to hear some messages we've gotten
Speaker 3: on the talk back on the iHeart radio app.
Speaker 2: Here is one. This is from Felix. I knowmin Eate,
Speaker 2: Sandy and Trich to do the ice bucket challenges together.
Speaker 2: Today the ice Bucket Challenge is back. It's my god,

Speaker 5: It's for mental health.
Speaker 4: You know there is a twenty four hour time limit
Speaker 4: to do it once you've been challenged.

Speaker 3: be a video of him doing it on social media.
Speaker 5: Oh that's true, so it's not I gotcha.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is not an official one. That was the
Speaker 3: big deal.
Speaker 1: So someone brought it back. But it's for a different
Speaker 1: charity because it used to be for AOLS, correct.

Speaker 1: She had a lot of names off the top of
Speaker 1: her head.

Speaker 2: Good morning.
Speaker 4: So there are two bills in front of the session
Speaker 4: right now, a House bill and a Senate bill, and
Speaker 4: the sole purpose of both of these bills is to
Speaker 4: try and prevent the city from stopping people from cutting
Speaker 4: down cedar trees on their properties.
Speaker 1: The cedar trees, like any city from doing it.
Speaker 5: Specifically for Austin right now.
Speaker 2: For Austin.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's the ash juniper trees, also known as cedar trees.
Speaker 4: They're the ones that look like they're on fire about
Speaker 4: this time of year because they're releasing the giant clouds
Speaker 4: of yellow pollen and killing people with allergies. And right
Speaker 4: now there's laws in place that you can't cut them down.
Speaker 4: You know a little bit about that, right, jab.
Speaker 2: I do, Unfortunately. I So I lived in Westlake for
Speaker 2: about fourteen fifteen.
Speaker 1: Years something like that, and when I was newer in Westlake,
Speaker 1: I've lived on a hillside just surrounded by these cedar trees,
Speaker 1: and on one side of my driveway towards the corner
Speaker 1: of the lot, the previous owner had just been dumping all.
Speaker 2: Brush there, all this rush. It was pilate.
Speaker 1: It was a tinder box, right, And so I had
Speaker 1: I had just like a you know, just a skeleton
Speaker 1: crew off Craigslist or something. I think I saw this
Speaker 1: guy with a truck maybe with a magnet on the
Speaker 1: side of it come clean all that up. And I
Speaker 1: was like, why we're here, can we take out some
Speaker 1: of these cedar trees?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: These are not the ones, right in front of my house,
Speaker 1: but kind of off to the side, and it just
Speaker 1: it just looked like a mess, and I just wanted
Speaker 1: it cleaned up.
Speaker 4: Oh boy, what happened?
Speaker 1: They cut of a couple of them down, and before
Speaker 1: you know it, there's like nothing better to do in Westlake.
Speaker 1: There's like three cop cars there with their lights and
Speaker 1: sirens showing up.
Speaker 5: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: And they they wrote me a big old ticket. I
Speaker 1: had to go to court. And it's it's a thing
Speaker 1: in Westlake. They do not want you to cut down
Speaker 1: any cedar trees. Now, I've heard since I left, it's
Speaker 1: been a while, it's been nine years. I think I've
Speaker 1: heard they've relaxed a little bit of what you can
Speaker 1: do around the perimeter of your home, especially on a downslope,
Speaker 1: so behind your home, if you run a downslope, you
Speaker 1: can go a little farther. But man, I just worried
Speaker 1: about those hills going up in flames. Yeah easily. And yeah,
Speaker 1: cedar trees are are are invasive. They're not natural to
Speaker 1: this area. And they they you probably know more about
Speaker 1: this sandy. They drink more water than most trees, like
Speaker 1: they suck up the water.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet you that's a lot of the reasoning
Speaker 3: behind this bill to make it okay to get rid
Speaker 3: of us the water consumption.
Speaker 2: They take up a ton of water.
Speaker 3: I can tell you how to get rid of a
Speaker 3: cedar tree the natural the natural way.
Speaker 5: You can't.
Speaker 2: Well, if you built like Sandy, you just choke it
Speaker 2: to death.
Speaker 3: Nope, you get yourself a big one hundred pounds chocolate
Speaker 3: lab and having pea on it for about two years.
Speaker 5: Bumper, a.
Speaker 4: Huge tree, and are you really just peed it to death?
Speaker 3: That it was? It killed that tree. He peed on
Speaker 3: it every day for a couple of years and it
Speaker 3: was dead.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: The funnier thing about that story once we are really
Speaker 3: proud of Bumper for doing that. The other part was
Speaker 3: the guy that we hired to get rid of the
Speaker 3: dead tree, Mister Romaldo came over and did it.
Speaker 2: My man had that I'm not kidding.
Speaker 3: You had that tree chopped down, cut up into pieces
Speaker 3: and hauled off in an hour and a half.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if that long. It was fifteen foot tree.
Speaker 4: Huge tree. Bumper had very powerful urine.
Speaker 1: What was funny side note with that Westlake incident where
Speaker 1: I got in trouble. I had planned on putting some
Speaker 1: other trees in there. But it was really funny. And
Speaker 1: I guess what's they call it. Statute of limitations has
Speaker 1: got to be pass there and come after me.
Speaker 2: Sure it was.
Speaker 1: But my father in law was old college friends with
Speaker 1: somebody on city council, and after this incident happened, I
Speaker 1: went to go see him, said look what I do,
Speaker 1: and he said, go to court, apologize, take the slap
Speaker 1: on the hand. They're going to give you a small fine,
Speaker 1: but they're going to rick acquire tree replacement X number
Speaker 1: of inches for everything you cut down. So it was
Speaker 1: going to be very large trees I would have to
Speaker 1: put in, and we're very expensive.
Speaker 2: He said.
Speaker 1: Little insider tip. Tell them you're going to do the
Speaker 1: tree replacement, go to home depot and get some oak
Speaker 1: trees and some laurels or whatever. Throw them in there.
Speaker 1: They're not they're not going to come back by and
Speaker 1: do a tree count again. And it's funny you mentioned
Speaker 1: that because I was cutting through Westlake the other day
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, go buy the old house,
Speaker 1: and those trees have grown and they look great and
Speaker 1: they don't look junkie like the old cedar.
Speaker 2: Yeah crap, he was there before. Yeah, welcome now.
Speaker 1: In Westlake's defense, and you don't get it until you
Speaker 1: live there for a while. They don't want everybody to
Speaker 1: come in and have perfectly manicured lawns, yeah, and perfectly
Speaker 1: edge bushes. In fact, they own like the first ten
Speaker 1: feet of your lot, and they want that sort of
Speaker 1: canno tree can it be when you drive through there?
Speaker 1: They don't want perfect sidewalks, and unless you live near
Speaker 1: Austin country Club, that's a little more refined. Yes, there
Speaker 1: are parts that are more of a development, I guess
Speaker 1: if you will, that are a little slicker than old
Speaker 1: Westlake streets. But when you live there a while, you'll go, Okay,
Speaker 1: I get it. I like the natural scape they don't like.
Speaker 1: I'll give you another example. They don't want you putting
Speaker 1: in a bunch of landscape lights and lighting up your
Speaker 1: house in the trees, so it is pitch black and
Speaker 1: really yeah, it's.
Speaker 3: The getting used to it thing. Is kind of like
Speaker 3: dating a girl with hairy arm pits. First, I don't
Speaker 3: really like this, but.
Speaker 5: Then I know not that bad.
Speaker 1: It doesn't want a natural It's very similar yeah, keeping
Speaker 1: a natural exactly.
Speaker 2: Don't get it. Don't get an ideas.
Speaker 5: Something wrong with the way your brain works. What did
Speaker 5: you say, something wrong with the way your brain works.
Speaker 4: We're talking about like beautiful natural trees and you go
Speaker 4: straight to Harry Armpits on Its Chick.
Speaker 5: It's so weird.
