🐦 “Is That a Golden‑Cheeked Warbler?! 

Are you even cool anymore if you don’t know the difference between a grackle and a warbler? 🤔 


Austin takes center stage as Tricia drops a fascinating truth bomb: birdwatching is booming — and not just with retirees. From young locals suddenly identifying rare birds to Instagram memes proving “it just happens overnight,” the team digs into why this once‑quiet hobby is exploding and what it says about life in Central Texas. 

Things get personal during Rapid Fire Q&A, as JB reveals what he’d tell any first‑time Austin visitor, settles the cars vs. beer debate once and for all, and delivers a line that sticks: “Austin is where young people come to retire.” 💥 A quote that sparks nostalgia, laughter, and a little truth. 
Then… chaos, poetry, and comedy collide. 

Sandy debuts a Speed Ode to birdwatching that includes khaki vests, aggressive geese, grackle betrayal, and a fictional bird so specific it sounds mythical. One standout line? 
🗣️ “You gear up like a divorced dad — khaki vest exploding with pockets supreme.” 


The episode also veers into real life with Tricia’s brutally honest breakdown of “Maintenance Month”, complete with laugh‑out‑loud price tags, hormone talk, and the unforgettable nickname “the horny pellets.” 💬😅 Add in a wild garbage‑truck police chase, a gym confession, and Sandy’s theological pop quiz, and you’ve got an episode packed with heart, humor, and pure Austin energy.

So, JB, you're on the hot seat today with rapid
Fire Q and A. The first question I have for
you is what is one thing you would tell someone
visiting Austin that they absolutely have to do.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, as annoying as this is to me on a
daily basis, because I live in the area, I would say,
go cruise South Congress. Yeah yeah, I you know, maybe
not at all the new big box stores, but you
know there's go get a turbo ice at Joe's Coffee.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
And get it.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Maybe get a margarita at Guero's. If you're there in
the evening, duck into Continental Club or Sea Boys. I
think you get an you know, go have a glass
of wine on the patio at San Jose and just chill. Yeah,
you'll get a nice little flavor of Austin duck into
Alan's boots, you know, just nice slice of Austin.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
All right, jab, here's my question for you. Two of
your most favorite things. I've chosen. You have to choose
between one or between the two? Cars or beer.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
Man, I know that's a tough one, but I would
go with cars hands down. Really yeah, I'm sorry, really yeah.

have picked beer, right, But now it's cars.

Now it's cars. Yeah, Now it's cars. I love cars.
And do you like specifically like later models or older stuff?

Speaker 3 (03:41):
I like?

Speaker 4 (03:43):
I mean I like classic cars. I like hot rods,
I like sports cars. Now I kind of like the
modern classic is what I call it. There's so many
great cars that are like fifteen twenty years old that
are affordable but still like low mileage, a fun right, right. Yeah,
there's some good there's some good deals out there.

Speaker 1 (04:04):

Last question for you, JB and Rapid Fire, Q and
A Today, Austin is blank.

For blank retirement for young people. I got that line
from a guy that I cooked with, Pat Brown, one
of the best drummers in Austin, Pat Brown, where we
worked together Dan mcclusky's. And he sat me down one
day and he goes, JB, this Austin is where young
people come to retire.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
He was serious about it. Right, Well, this was slacker nineties.

(05:10):
for me to write an ode about that I will
do during one song.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
It's pretty amazing.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
I'm ready to write. What is today's topic?

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Well, I thought i'd throw this at you again. You
only have one song to write it. But as Tricia
shared with this, Austin is becoming very trendy for young
people to get into bird watching.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
A woodpecker drummed a tree with flair all the while
I got tangled up in my Walmart lawn chair. A
goose approached, but I stood my ground. I do have
to run away because I got scared of their honking sound.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
That is scary goose.

her show today. But she was talking about how she

(11:36):
misspoke when she was talking about the band once instead
of saying Flatland cavalry. She said, flatland cavalry. She said
the Lord was talking to her, and then all the
all of her listeners were calling her boss, going, she's
so stupid. She doesn't know the note they give it

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Wow from New Bromfles to Austin.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
Guy driving a giant garbage truck junk drunk crashing into people,
finally got caught. And the part that I think is
funny is that they still don't have a mugshot of
them because Price Prize is not cooperating in jail.

real fast.

Oh that's the crashing speed trashing. Another thing we learned
was JB is a gym lurker. You had your confession
about what you do at the gym because the.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Personal training is so expensive.
