Dallas, Texas, Mister Dallas.You know ot SA Dallas, DANSA.

(02:47):
What's going on in here? Wholelot? You know, just you
know, kicking us doing a radioshow, waiting on you, seeing what's
up, trying to stay up todate, keep it moving. Well,
I have some thing today. Ihave three little quick hits, and the
idea of those three little quick hitshard to help you do that very thing,

(03:09):
to help everybody out there stay upto date and keep it moving.
Because these are all Dallas things thatDallas people need to know Dallas about.
You need to know doubts about thattakes it makes sense? Just fire running
back three two one Dallas things thatDallas people need to know about. Okay,

(03:30):
Okay, yeah, I put onetoo many Dallases and there, but
can you really put too many Dallasesin anything? Though? All Dallas,
all the time. All right,here is item one. An exclusive contract
has been awarded to Dallas based Alto. I like Alto do you it's a

(03:55):
wonderful service. Well, they havehave They now have a exclusive contract to
pick up ride share passengers curb Sideand love Field. Oh take that other
ride share services. We only allowthe best one out here. Yes,
they are the only one that we'llbe able to do that for the next
five years. Wow, Uber andLift users are going to have to go

(04:23):
to Garage B where they have anew and they're telling us very controversial pick
up area. Okay, so theycan still take an Uber or a list.
Yeah, you can still do that. Okay, you do have to
walk if it's the same place Ihad to go to last time that I
saw people bitching a lot about.Yeah, yeah, it's a decent little
walk, but it's not that biga deal. It's just one. It's

(04:46):
just a walk, my riding aw Now, sorry your Uber didn't pick
you up on the tarmac. Thishas been approved by the city Council.
It authorizes interminal customer service and designatedspots on the lower level outside love Fields
baggage claims for Alto's vehicles. IrvingHoldings operate taxi services like Yellow Cab,

(05:17):
and they also operated a love Field, but both of these contracts are for
five years terms with three two yearrenewal options, and Alto is paying an
estimated two eighty seven and fifty twodollars, and Irving Holdings, which is
the cab company, is paying twohundred and twenty two thousand for the exclusive

(05:39):
right. So they've got love Fieldpretty much okay, nicely sewn up.
You know. If you want togo from the terminal and be in your
ride quick and get going with everything, that's the way you're going to have
to do it. I am surprisedby the number that you said. I
would have figured it would be higher, just under three hundred thousand. Get

(06:00):
the other ride shares pushed aside,and this is just your your area.
I kind of thought it would bethat way too. I was a little
bit surprised by that. But that'swhat they're going with. Not a bad
little deal for our friends at Alto. Yeah, and their rides are awesome.
Item to the City of Dallas hasnow launched a new online play for
you to pay your bills. Ohyeah, I got to figure this thing

(06:23):
out before my water gets cut off, don't a you do? Oh I
need to do that too. It'scalled Dallas Go and it replaces the city's
previous bill payment system, which stillworked well enough even though it was,
according to this story, charmingly outdated. Dallas Go is going to offer more

(06:44):
functionality and make it easier for Dallasresidence to pay Dallas water utilities. Well,
it's not possible to make it easierthan my auto pay already being set
up guys and other City of Dallasbills, thereby making it easier for you
to stay up to date and keepit moving. Is it really when you
have to remember yet another email passwordcombination. I don't know any of mine.
I just assume that my computer willhave it saved sam and when out

(07:10):
I'm dead. YEP. With this, you, the customer can quickly view
bills, set up secure automatic payments, change payment methods, or review account
information. Dallas go also offers aone time payment option without creating a profile

(07:30):
or logging in, by using theguest pay feature. The old guest pay
All right, I guess I'll haveto figure this out. So this is
one of the cool things about Idon't know if it's cool or makes it
difficult or confusing or what, butwhen you're married, there's two of you,
and somebody has to do it.When you're married, there's two of

(07:53):
you. Yeah, like to doall these tedious things. And what I
try to do is defer all ofthe bad things to the other person in
my marriage. And sometimes it worksand sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the power
goes out. Yeah, you're like, oh, I thought I'd deferred that
to you, and he's like,oh, I was like, I don't
want to do any of this,and I'm not gonna so you have to.
If we want water, is thatbad? And do we want water?

(08:18):
No, it's not bad, especiallyright now. I mean you're carrying
the marriage, You're totally You makeall the money. This is a very
lucrative job. Yeah, we getall the money. Yeah, I can
handle it. Now, if youpreviously registered for automatic payments, you will
need to re enroll in auto payon Dallas Go to continue using this feature.
I don't want to. That's fun, isn't it. I don't want

(08:41):
it so many things. If you'recurrent now to listen to this. If
your current automatic payment was scheduled forafter the twenty second of March of twenty
twenty four, that's in a littlebit over a month from now, that
payment didn't or will not go through. Okay, I gotta do this quick.

(09:03):
Huh right, Actually, Dallas Golaunches on that date, and if
your payment schedule for after that,okay, then it won't go through.
All right, I gotta get onDallas cop. They're just gonna cut off
our water. They better not cutoff my water. I gotta pay will
run over. You are gonna runover us if we don't do this.
My dog's got a drink. Don'tcut me off. What you need to
know is this, If you're anaccount holder, you should now be making

(09:24):
your payments on Dallas Go. Ifyou've not registered your autopay on Dallas Go
yet, you need to do itnow or else they will run over you.
Don't run over me. Please,if you're listening, can you do
our Dallas good thing? Please?Thank you. Hopefully my home computer knows

(09:46):
my log in. I'll figure itout, all right. You got water
in your pool? It's okay?Yeah, you think the pool water is
good enough for a dog to survivefor a little bit while I sorted out,
I don't know. I love,really, really like they have a
good pr company for Dallas Go,because every time that Mike presents something about

(10:09):
this or I read about it,it's like, check out this exciting new
online service. This is some greatnews for all of our customers. Now
you can partake it. Dolla's go. Yeah, it's like what you're just
telling me to go create a profileand paper bills. Just like everything else,
we're telling you to create another login situation, another password. Fine,

(10:33):
fine, you got me. Iwant water geez. Also, finally,
Adam three here number three, letus introduce you to the Mexican.
But oh my god, every remotenow, yay, isn't that the restaurant

(11:01):
with forty You can't do that?Watch me? Is it? What isn't
that the restaurant with the like milliondollar margarita? Actually, it's the restaurant
with the two hundred and fifty dollarsmargarita two and fifty dollars margarita made by
the Mexican. Yes, god,let me tell you about the Mexican.

(11:26):
The idea behind the Mexican was toopen the most beautiful restaurant Dallas has ever
seen, according to one of theirfour co owners, Rich Hicks. Oh
wait a minute, time out theKicks. What are the other owners names?
Bob, Ryan, and Tom?They opened the Mexican. Well,

(11:48):
we'll take everything won't we Yeah,I'm opening a Chinese restaurant. Why not?
What was his name? Rich Hicks? Rich, the owner of the
Mexican is one of four co owners. Oh there's Jimmy Christopher also doesn't fit.

(12:11):
This is nestled. This is nestledinside Turtle Creek. It costs an
incredible eleven and a half m millionin design and constructions as much as a
margarita fifty. That's why they they'retwo fifty. They got to get these
costs back fifty. Oh, yeah, they have a number. It is

(12:33):
designed by well known can Coon designerPaulina Moran, whose budget was five point
three m million. And yes,they do have a nice two hundred and
fifty dollars margherita there if you wouldwhat does what happens after you drink this
margarita? The word take a sipand just I mean it better be what

(13:03):
happens? If you need another nicebullet point for this. The building was
once used for storage by Don Henleyof the Eagles. You got another delicious,
flourish hailing point. Don Henley usedto have couching here. I guess,

(13:26):
I guess you know what to someonethat matters, that's why the price
tag was so high. Is thismex Mex or text Mex. I think
this is more mex Mex than texMex. I'm not saying anything about tex
Mex. Yeah in here, althoughthat doesn't necessarily mean that it's not.

(13:46):
You know, at least to somedegree that I have found the name of
one of the co owners that makesthis more acceptable than Rich White or whatever
his name was. One of themis Roberto Gonzalez al Galla. Now this
is okay again, But when itwas Dick Hicks, that was different.

(14:07):
That doesn't fit dress code on theirwebsite. Oh yes, yes, hi
guys, I'm Dick Hicks. Comeby my authentic Filipino restaurant. But they
say the food is priced in linewith or below steakhouses and sushi restaurants here

(14:30):
in our fair Burgh. They saydinner averages about ninety dollars per person before
gratuity. Of course, okay,I'm going to El Phoenix, notably less
than the two hundred dollars plus perperson splurges at Dallas's newest oh Macasseie restaurants,
of course. Yeah, Well,what is that makase that's like the

(14:52):
sushi experience restaurant. Sarah Blaskovic hastold us about it, where you go
and you sit down and you paywhatever. As a matter of fact,
this is her fine work that misterDallas is pulling. What. Yeah,
it's like the where the sushi cheffwill just bring you a whole bunch of

(15:13):
food whatever he wants, and awhole bunch of different waves, you know,
yeah about squash. It's like theponchos of fancy. See, this
is the deal with Mexican food,like mex mechs. I don't it's you
can't do too much to make itexpensive. Like it's it's rice and it's

(15:35):
meat, and it's beans and youmight have some fish and that like tex
Mex too though, yeah, andit shouldn't be that expensive. Is because
it's kind of my point. It'slike all the same. You can put
fancy things on it, you canmarinate it, you can put heirloom tomatoes
and pineapples on your fish, butit's still fish and it's got rice and

(15:56):
it's all just I don't know,I don't feel like it can be that
fancy beans. Well, they sayin the past year this restaurant sold more
alcohol than ninety eight percent of theother restaurants in doubts. I haven't been
there grouping now, they say itdoesn't make a lot of sense to buy
the two hundred and fifty dollars margaritaat the Mexican. They freely admit that,

(16:18):
but they still serve. They stillsell ten to fifteen of them a
month. Okay, that's just sosee that. Yeah, it is,
it is. That's all this is. This is somebody wanting to roll high
save people. If they can't booka flight to Dubai to impress Fiona or

(16:41):
to impress whoever it is that they'retrying to impress, they'll say, I'll
take you to the Mexican and I'llorder you a two hundred and fifty dollars
margarita. Let me just tell thepeople who are listening, brother, you
don't have to lease a luxury carfor a day and buy the two hundred
and fifty dollars margarita to get somefrom Barbara and Hinge. She's already down,

(17:02):
brother, Why because she's on RONN. Take her on the border and
get after it. A Margarita's amargarita. Yeah, you're fine. Tequila's
tequila. We got to do all. This is fire one extra on the
border. Now. The Honers havealready have signed leases to open The Mexican

(17:22):
in Houston in the Post Oak areaand in Miami at Riquel Key in twenty
twenty five in twenty twenty six,and the budget for each of those is
twelve million to fourteen million. Peoplebe bawling. This is kind of crazy.
So I'm looking at their website becauseyou know, I love me some

(17:45):
Mexican food. Vegetable medley, mushrooms, call aflower, yellow corn, green
asparagus, grilled scallions thirty dollars.I could put that together for a dollar
eighty. Yeah, depending how muchasparagus is in there. White prawns that
we're talking about, five or sixbig shrimp thirty eight dollars. An enchilada

(18:07):
trio, So you have three enchiladas, they throw some king crab on there
to try and up the price.Yep, that's how you do that.
Fifty eight dollars. I'm gonna callChilatas. I'm gonna call my next band
that which one the enchilada trio.I think that'd be great. So there

(18:29):
