the eighties that's coming back, and you, guys, I don't
know if this is something that should be happening or not.
It was all over the runways this past season. It's
showing up in all the magazines, and if you look closely,
it's showing up already on the racks and stores. And
that is eighties shoulder pads. Oh, big giant shoulder pads
(00:54):
in suits, blazers, blouses. It was kind of a short
lived back in the eighties. It seems longer than apparently
what it was because I totally embraced it.
Speaker 3 (01:06):

Speaker 4 (01:07):
They're wondering if it's actually coming back, if it's going
to have a little bit more staying power now, or
if it's going to like be in and out like
it was in the eighties.

was big, yes, the proportion. Yeah, now it's going to
be wrecked, very broad shoulders and little peanut head.

is your your big giant hair balanced out the wide
shoulder pads.

of thing.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
Yeah. Now it seems like pusha as.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Back in the day when you get excited if you
saw a Ferrari or Larry Yeah, yeah all the time.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
Nobody pays it's true there. Yeah, there was a time
when the only exotic cars you would see on a
regular basis, what I would say, are like some nice
nine to elevens. Yeah, you didn't see very many Ferraris.
You definitely didn't see Lambos. I probably see a Lamborghini
every day. You see McLaren's.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do still get excited if I
see it Bentley every once in a while. You see
it Bentley, which those are just cool locking cars.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Do you remember JB.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
We used to joke that we knew that it was
Code it was us Grand Prix time out at Coda
because there was an orange Lambo that showed up every
single year, and you'd see it just driving around Austin.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Screaming around town. Yeah yeah, right through the RPMs big time. Yes,
I still get that on on the South Congress down
where I live. You still get the you get the
Lambos screaming up and down the road.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Didn't you say there's a there's like a crazy motorcycle
culture down there too, or burn it?
Speaker 6 (10:53):
They Yeah, it's It's one of those things that you
used to only see in La where you'd see a
mob of people dirt bikes and four runners just kind
of taking over the streets and doing wheelies and up
and down Congress. I mean, it doesn't bother me. When
they do the takeovers and they block the streets, that's
a problem. But if they're just APD put a clamp
(11:15):
down on that, yeah, mess around with that. But I
see a lot of them just hot dogging around. And
now I'm seeing a bunch of groups of younger people
on e bikes just as like a little social ride,
and they're doing wheelies all around town. But not like
the bicycles like e motos. They're more of a hybrid.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Oh okay, okay, there is a wheelie club in Austin.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Did you know that?
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Oh man, I'm so jealous. That is I've never been
able to do a wheelie and I it's just something
I've always wanted to do and never learned it as
a kid or anything.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yeah, I was fraid to do it.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Check out their insta it's five to one to two
Wheelie Crew. You'll love this, JB. You'll love this. It's
just cool. Videos of them in and around Austin with
their bikes. They've got like neon on their tires and
stuff and in their frames and they're just riding wheelies
and having fun on their bicycles.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
It's cool.
