00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.159
<v Speaker 3>the radio, hey, look, we know the signal's not great. Okay,

16
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:42.200
<v Speaker 3>there's parts of town you hit it. You can't hear

18
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:49.039
<v Speaker 3>listen to us everywhere. And I I kind of tend

19
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Speaker 3>to think that most Austinites know how to hook up

20
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.159
<v Speaker 3>their Bluetooth and their car. You know, they know how

21
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:57.479
<v Speaker 3>to do that. That was a great mystery when Bluetooth

22
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:01.799
<v Speaker 3>first came out, Yeah, how do I do this? Or,

23
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.680
<v Speaker 3>as Tricia's mother calls it, the blue wire blue wire.

24
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.159
<v Speaker 3>We were sitting in her backyard once and she had

25
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 3>this little speaker and she wanted to have some music

26
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 3>out on the patio and just kind of chill and

27
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 3>just she just matter of factly said, Hey, Sandy, we

28
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:20.079
<v Speaker 3>helped me blue wire up my speaker. I'm like, no

29
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:24.599
<v Speaker 3>greater grandma name is that words have ever been said

30
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:27.840
<v Speaker 3>and helped me blue wire. So now when we're around her,

31
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 3>it's always the blue wire.

32
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 2>That's funny.

33
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I was at the DPS office yesterday because every ten

34
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 1>years you have to go take a new photo.

35
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, how'd it go? The photos horrible?

36
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.719
<v Speaker 1>But there was an old guy next to me and

37
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>he was there with the sign and it was it

38
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 1>was really sweet because he's.

39
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:50.280
<v Speaker 2>A very old man.

40
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>And you know, they hold up the little I chart

41
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 1>just to see, you know, see if you can can

42
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>read it or if you're too impaired to get your

43
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:03.159
<v Speaker 1>license nude, and he's like, man, I can't read that.

44
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.520
<v Speaker 2>He goes. He goes. My kids pretty much drive me.

45
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Everywhere nowadays, and he goes, so I guess she could

46
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 1>just give me an ID. I'm only going to drive

47
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.199
<v Speaker 1>and it's a case an emergency, and if it's an emergency,

48
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to care if it's a driver's license

49
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:27.439
<v Speaker 1>or an ID. Right, Like, he made such sense, and

50
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 1>I was the woman was just struggling to help him.

51
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.039
<v Speaker 2>She kept going, no, you can go to your eye

52
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 2>doctor and if they'll clear you, then we can do this.

53
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, ma'am, it's only going to be an emergency.

54
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 1>And if it's an emergency, I don't really care what

55
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 1>that piece of paper says.

56
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>It was just such an old guy logic. Yeah, yeah,

57
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:48.759
<v Speaker 2>it was awesome. Boy.

58
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 3>I can relate to that though as a kid that Like,

59
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 3>my dad's still driving and he's eighty four. And I

60
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:54.520
<v Speaker 3>was on the phone with my mom the other day.

61
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, hey, let me talk to dad. She goes, oh, no,

62
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:59.240
<v Speaker 3>he's not here. He went to go pick up Chinese food.

63
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, oh, oh god, Dad's out on the road.

64
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:06.360
<v Speaker 3>Look out there, yeah, look out. He was never a

65
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:11.080
<v Speaker 3>good driver to begin with, and he he had a

66
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 3>fighter pilot. Yeah, you can fly an airplane around the world,

67
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 3>but has no idea how to get to the Chinese

68
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:18.159
<v Speaker 3>food restaurant.

69
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:20.319
<v Speaker 2>That was the family joke.

70
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.439
<v Speaker 1>He had this terrible He was never good at an

71
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:24.400
<v Speaker 1>even younger day. He was never a good driver.

72
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:26.599
<v Speaker 3>And he you know, he didn't get his driver's license

73
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 3>till he was like twenty five or twenty six because

74
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.599
<v Speaker 3>he lived in New York City, didn't need one.

75
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Again, he could fly a plane but not drive

76
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 2>a car. Yeah, it's the weirdest thing. It's hurt car.

<v Speaker 2>You've been with him.

<v Speaker 3>Tricia gets nauseous when she'sa Yeah, she drive with both feet.

79
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 4>Yes, at some point, at some age in your life,

80
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.319
<v Speaker 4>you go back to driving with both feet, like you know,

81
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.080
<v Speaker 4>when you're learning, they teach that out of you, and

82
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 4>at some point you're like, I don't care, I'm.

00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>me not Yeah, I'm going to get sick in this car.

86
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 3>Now, you've got me thinking of my dad driving and

87
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 3>brought up and we had a nineteen seventy two Volkswagen

88
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 3>Bug that he still has that's sitting in his garage

89
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 3>in perfect shape.

90
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 2>But he would drive. That's a stick shift.

91
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 3>I didn't going to basketball game or something on a

92
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:24.439
<v Speaker 3>Saturday morning and it was freezing cold and Omaha, Nebraska.

93
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 3>My man would be driving a stick shift while having

94
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.199
<v Speaker 3>a hot cup of coffee.

95
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 2>And it's smoking a cigarette.

96
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.000
<v Speaker 3>And when he didn't wasn't busy smoking the cigarette or

97
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 3>drinking the coffee, he was scraping the ice off the windshield.

98
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 2>As we drove down the road.

99
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 5>Windows rolled up while he was smoking in the car.

100
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I had to beg him to roll the

101
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.120
<v Speaker 2>window down. God, I smoke.

102
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I have such a similar memory. My dad

103
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:54.160
<v Speaker 1>bamboozled a friend of his into trading a little dots

104
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and wagon we had for his VW bug. Turns out

105
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:03.560
<v Speaker 1>they were both bamboozling. They were both lemons, but the

106
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.040
<v Speaker 1>same thing. Riding in my dad in this little bug,

107
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>and he'd have breakfast in one hand and coffee in

108
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the other, and so I would shift, well, I would

109
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.160
<v Speaker 1>shift with my left and he would not spill a

110
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.959
<v Speaker 1>drop of that coffee. And but you know, we didn't

111
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.920
<v Speaker 1>have kids listening. We didn't have Yetti's and things like that.

112
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 2>Back then.

113
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 1>It was a straight up old school coffee cup.

114
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 2>And they just knew how to balance it, just like

115
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:29.399
<v Speaker 2>it was on a gimbal, Like it was just perfect,

116
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:31.759
<v Speaker 2>same memory.

117
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.360
<v Speaker 3>Hey, you guys want to hear some messages we've gotten

118

120
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Sandy and Trich to do the ice bucket challenges together.

00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:02.399
<v Speaker 2>Now it's for mental health.

125

<v Speaker 5>It's for mental health.

126
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.879
<v Speaker 4>You know there is a twenty four hour time limit

127
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:07.759
<v Speaker 4>to do it once you've been challenged.

128
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but that's not an official challenge. It's got to

129
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.120
<v Speaker 3>be a video of him doing it on social media.

130
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.879

<v Speaker 4>and kept talking about male actors or singers who were

153
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:26.399
<v Speaker 4>well and down you can tell through their pants.

154
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:28.079
<v Speaker 1>She had a lot of names off the top of

155
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:29.279
<v Speaker 1>her head.

156
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:30.839
<v Speaker 5>They didn't realize that I was that aware.

157
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Right.

158
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.480
<v Speaker 3>In fact, an episode of the podcast from yesterday, as

159
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:42.279
<v Speaker 3>Tricia checks out the moose knuckle grabbed the podcast version

160
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:43.399
<v Speaker 3>of the show, if you can't be here for the

161
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.720
<v Speaker 3>whole thing. And finally, here's another message here. I made

162
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:49.879
<v Speaker 3>a mistake just before Easter.

163
00:07:51.199 --> 00:08:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Sandy, it's GOsC on this not break on the head, Costca.

<v Speaker 3>you eat? You're talking about setty eggs at Christmas?

166
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:10.800
<v Speaker 2>And I got them. I got them screwed up so

167
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of I didn't even catch that either.

168
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.720
<v Speaker 3>I'll never forget it again, right coscaronis chia cronies too completely.

169

<v Speaker 2>Now.

178
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.320
<v Speaker 5>I want to eat Mexican food tonight.

179
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:49.360
<v Speaker 2>That's so easily influenced last night. You didn't want Mexican food.

180
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:51.919
<v Speaker 4>No, I did not want Mexican food last night. Tonight

00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Good morning.

234
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.440
<v Speaker 4>So there are two bills in front of the session

235
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:29.840
<v Speaker 4>right now, a House bill and a Senate bill, and

236
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.320
<v Speaker 4>the sole purpose of both of these bills is to

237
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:36.679
<v Speaker 4>try and prevent the city from stopping people from cutting

238
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:38.600
<v Speaker 4>down cedar trees on their properties.

239
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:44.080
<v Speaker 1>The cedar trees, like any city from doing it.

240
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:45.159
<v Speaker 5>Specifically for Austin right now.

241
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:46.080
<v Speaker 2>For Austin.

242
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.840
<v Speaker 4>Yes, it's the ash juniper trees, also known as cedar trees.

243
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.879
<v Speaker 4>They're the ones that look like they're on fire about

244
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:57.440
<v Speaker 4>this time of year because they're releasing the giant clouds

245
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:03.240
<v Speaker 4>of yellow pollen and killing people with allergies. And right

246
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.240
<v Speaker 4>now there's laws in place that you can't cut them down.

247
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:06.840
<v Speaker 4>You know a little bit about that, right, jab.

248
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.399
<v Speaker 2>I do, Unfortunately. I So I lived in Westlake for

249
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:11.799
<v Speaker 2>about fourteen fifteen.

250
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:15.159
<v Speaker 1>Years something like that, and when I was newer in Westlake,

251
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:21.919
<v Speaker 1>I've lived on a hillside just surrounded by these cedar trees,

252
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:26.159
<v Speaker 1>and on one side of my driveway towards the corner

253
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.080
<v Speaker 1>of the lot, the previous owner had just been dumping all.

254
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Brush there, all this rush. It was pilate.

255
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.159
<v Speaker 1>It was a tinder box, right, And so I had

256
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:40.639
<v Speaker 1>I had just like a you know, just a skeleton

257
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.080
<v Speaker 1>crew off Craigslist or something. I think I saw this

258
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>guy with a truck maybe with a magnet on the

259
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.039
<v Speaker 1>side of it come clean all that up. And I

260
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:50.519
<v Speaker 1>was like, why we're here, can we take out some

261
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:51.480
<v Speaker 1>of these cedar trees?

262
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:51.679
<v Speaker 3>Now?

263
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 1>These are not the ones, right in front of my house,

264
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:56.480
<v Speaker 1>but kind of off to the side, and it just

265
00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.759
<v Speaker 1>it just looked like a mess, and I just wanted

266
00:12:58.759 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>it cleaned up.

267
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:03.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh boy, what happened?

268
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.480
<v Speaker 1>They cut of a couple of them down, and before

269
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:10.440
<v Speaker 1>you know it, there's like nothing better to do in Westlake.

270
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:13.679
<v Speaker 1>There's like three cop cars there with their lights and

271
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.120
<v Speaker 1>sirens showing up.

272
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:16.639
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god.

273
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>And they they wrote me a big old ticket. I

274
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:25.759
<v Speaker 1>had to go to court. And it's it's a thing

275
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:28.919
<v Speaker 1>in Westlake. They do not want you to cut down

276
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:33.000
<v Speaker 1>any cedar trees. Now, I've heard since I left, it's

277
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.759
<v Speaker 1>been a while, it's been nine years. I think I've

278
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:38.759
<v Speaker 1>heard they've relaxed a little bit of what you can

279
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:42.159
<v Speaker 1>do around the perimeter of your home, especially on a downslope,

280
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:45.879
<v Speaker 1>so behind your home, if you run a downslope, you

281
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:51.279
<v Speaker 1>can go a little farther. But man, I just worried

282
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:56.480
<v Speaker 1>about those hills going up in flames. Yeah easily. And yeah,

283
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.600
<v Speaker 1>cedar trees are are are invasive. They're not natural to

284
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:07.000
<v Speaker 1>this area. And they they you probably know more about

285
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:10.000
<v Speaker 1>this sandy. They drink more water than most trees, like

286
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:11.440
<v Speaker 1>they suck up the water.

287
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:14.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I bet you that's a lot of the reasoning

288
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:17.639
<v Speaker 3>behind this bill to make it okay to get rid

289
00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:19.000
<v Speaker 3>of us the water consumption.

290
00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:21.360
<v Speaker 2>They take up a ton of water.

291
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:22.639
<v Speaker 3>I can tell you how to get rid of a

292
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.759
<v Speaker 3>cedar tree the natural the natural way.

293
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:26.320
<v Speaker 5>You can't.

294
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you built like Sandy, you just choke it

295
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:29.600
<v Speaker 2>to death.

296
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Nope, you get yourself a big one hundred pounds chocolate

297
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.399
<v Speaker 3>lab and having pea on it for about two years.

298
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:38.159
<v Speaker 5>Bumper, a.

299
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:45.639
<v Speaker 4>Huge tree, and are you really just peed it to death?

300
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:49.559
<v Speaker 3>That it was? It killed that tree. He peed on

301
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:52.159
<v Speaker 3>it every day for a couple of years and it

302
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:52.919
<v Speaker 3>was dead.

303
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Now.

304
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:55.879
<v Speaker 3>The funnier thing about that story once we are really

305
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:59.799
<v Speaker 3>proud of Bumper for doing that. The other part was

306
00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:02.159
<v Speaker 3>the guy that we hired to get rid of the

307
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:06.600
<v Speaker 3>dead tree, Mister Romaldo came over and did it.

308
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:08.840
<v Speaker 2>My man had that I'm not kidding.

309
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:12.320
<v Speaker 3>You had that tree chopped down, cut up into pieces

310
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:14.559
<v Speaker 3>and hauled off in an hour and a half.

311
00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:18.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, if that long. It was fifteen foot tree.

312
00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.399
<v Speaker 4>Huge tree. Bumper had very powerful urine.

313
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:27.279
<v Speaker 1>What was funny side note with that Westlake incident where

314
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:30.279
<v Speaker 1>I got in trouble. I had planned on putting some

315
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:32.759
<v Speaker 1>other trees in there. But it was really funny. And

316
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I guess what's they call it. Statute of limitations has

317
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:38.039
<v Speaker 1>got to be pass there and come after me.

318
00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Sure it was.

319
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:44.200
<v Speaker 1>But my father in law was old college friends with

320
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>somebody on city council, and after this incident happened, I

321
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:51.200
<v Speaker 1>went to go see him, said look what I do,

322
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:56.919
<v Speaker 1>and he said, go to court, apologize, take the slap

323
00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:59.320
<v Speaker 1>on the hand. They're going to give you a small fine,

324
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:03.440
<v Speaker 1>but they're going to rick acquire tree replacement X number

325
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.759
<v Speaker 1>of inches for everything you cut down. So it was

326
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:10.279
<v Speaker 1>going to be very large trees I would have to

327
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:11.720
<v Speaker 1>put in, and we're very expensive.

328
00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:12.200
<v Speaker 2>He said.

329
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:15.759
<v Speaker 1>Little insider tip. Tell them you're going to do the

330
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>tree replacement, go to home depot and get some oak

331
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:23.279
<v Speaker 1>trees and some laurels or whatever. Throw them in there.

332
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:25.440
<v Speaker 1>They're not they're not going to come back by and

333
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>do a tree count again. And it's funny you mentioned

334
00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:33.919
<v Speaker 1>that because I was cutting through Westlake the other day

335
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:35.240
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, oh, go buy the old house,

336
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and those trees have grown and they look great and

337
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:39.759
<v Speaker 1>they don't look junkie like the old cedar.

338
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah crap, he was there before. Yeah, welcome now.

339
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:52.039
<v Speaker 1>In Westlake's defense, and you don't get it until you

340
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.039
<v Speaker 1>live there for a while. They don't want everybody to

341
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>come in and have perfectly manicured lawns, yeah, and perfectly

342
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.559
<v Speaker 1>edge bushes. In fact, they own like the first ten

343
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:05.960
<v Speaker 1>feet of your lot, and they want that sort of

344
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.319
<v Speaker 1>canno tree can it be when you drive through there?

345
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:13.720
<v Speaker 1>They don't want perfect sidewalks, and unless you live near

346
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Austin country Club, that's a little more refined. Yes, there

347
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.640
<v Speaker 1>are parts that are more of a development, I guess

348
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.839
<v Speaker 1>if you will, that are a little slicker than old

349
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Westlake streets. But when you live there a while, you'll go, Okay,

350
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:32.799
<v Speaker 1>I get it. I like the natural scape they don't like.

351
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you another example. They don't want you putting

352
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:38.160
<v Speaker 1>in a bunch of landscape lights and lighting up your

353
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:42.640
<v Speaker 1>house in the trees, so it is pitch black and

354
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:44.920
<v Speaker 1>really yeah, it's.

355
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:47.000
<v Speaker 3>The getting used to it thing. Is kind of like

356
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:55.519
<v Speaker 3>dating a girl with hairy arm pits. First, I don't

357
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:57.519
<v Speaker 3>really like this, but.

358
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:01.480
<v Speaker 5>Then I know not that bad.

359
00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:04.680
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't want a natural It's very similar yeah, keeping

360
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:06.079
<v Speaker 1>a natural exactly.

361
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Don't get it. Don't get an ideas.

362
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.440
<v Speaker 5>Something wrong with the way your brain works. What did

363
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:16.119
<v Speaker 5>you say, something wrong with the way your brain works.

364
00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:19.400
<v Speaker 4>We're talking about like beautiful natural trees and you go

365
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:21.440
<v Speaker 4>straight to Harry Armpits on Its Chick.

366
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:22.960
<v Speaker 5>It's so weird.
