Speaker 2 (00:29):
Thank you. You've got a.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Very very Stephen Presley, very thunder Pop way of doing
your videos. And I like, yes, and I like it
a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
That means a yeah, wow, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
That means a lot.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Let's talk about the launching of the new Nintendo Switch. Yeah, first,
let's tell everybody, Steven, tell everyone what the Nintendo switches,
because we probably have a lot of listeners that this
is not in their wheelhouse anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah. So the hint.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
The Nintendo Switch has been out for a while. You
rid the first one, and it's very popular because it's
a mobile that you can take with you anywhere you
go and game. But then you could cook it, hook
it up like a regular console and you could play
it on a TV or he has a screen built
in so you can take it with you on the
go for travel. So it's very versatile. And this is
the first switch. This is the Switch too. They've been
(01:16):
waiting like Thix six six years for the follow up,
and finally it's coming out. They're saying it's the biggest
release in decades for gaming, most anticipated. It's going to
come in at four forty nine for the basic version,
and then the premium version that includes Mario Kart World
is four ninety nine. This one's going to have a
(01:37):
ten eighty screen tenap screen, something they're calling a joy
con mouse function, and then it's also got built in
screen sharing. So those are some of the additions on
this new one. But people have been waiting in line
for days. They've got these little portable tints that they
put around them, and they have their laptops out and
they're just camped out. I thought that went away in
(01:58):
the nineties too.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
You're buying tickets, right, yeah, I used.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
My concert tickets. I thought if everything digital now you
did it all online. So I'm really shocked that people
are camping out for it.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah, I think go ahead.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
I saw an interview last night. Somebody was talking to
the people. Two guys I think in New York have
been camped out for two weeks now in their little
tents on the sidewalk, and when they were asked that
exact question, like can't you just order it? And they're like,
we're trying to bring back that. We get it first
at midnight vibe the can't they like the we set
it up, we camped out for it. We were the
(02:32):
first ones to get it. Like again, all things old
are new again. Things that used to happen in the
nineties that went away.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
To bring that feeling back inside.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Their little tint They had a turntable that they were
listening to, their music to their art of.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Final making handmade ice cream, and we're so analyzed.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, we're so cool.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Uh, it's weird, but it's a big and this is
again we I on my credit card. I just happened
to notice and Nintendo switch monthly charge. Tricia does the fuzz.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Yeah, I get the notification every month when it's charged,
or I think it's maybe every three months, I don't know.
And I ask her, are you still using it, and
she's like yes, and then I like it because it's
on your credit card and not mine.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I think I canceled it to see if she would
even notice that all the time.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Oh my god, I think you did, because she yelled
text yelled at me the other day, what did you cancel?
Apparently one of her favorite games was on that and
I was like, I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
That's so funny you say that because I do that.
You know, I'll look at Rocket Money and go look
at all those recurring charges and I'll just all our
streaming service. I'll just cancel everything and then listen for
the screaming. Which one you should really? I mean, it's
a click to get it back on and then sometimes
you get a month free for signing back up or something, right,
(03:57):
but it's a it's a nice way to clean house
and just what everybody's using, just wipe it out.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
That's a very powerful feeling.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
So she did notice.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
She did notice, and again I got text jailed out
for it. So I'm gonna let her know it's you.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Well, maybe she had I don't know, studying her chemistry
a little bit more instead.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Of her She got straight a's I don't know what
else can she can do better?
Speaker 1 (04:21):
She can be Finally, let's talk about two things, really,
Hollywood and bass Drop and how Steven's parents are pissed
about it.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, my parents have spent their whole lives trying to
avoid cities, so they've they've been pretty successful. I mean
they both start out to start off in small rural areas,
my dad from the Midwest, my mom from South Texas.
Then they lived in Elgin for years and they liked
having access to the city. They just didn't want to
live in the city. So then they retire in Bastrop.
(04:52):
They've been settled settled down in bass Drop for for
a few years, and they're like, Okay, this is the
last stop on the retirement tour, and then Basstrop starts
to boom and the cities the city's coming to them,
including the Wildwood Studios that there's a sound stage that
Zachary Levi, the actor, one hundred million dollar studio that
(05:12):
he's working on building out in bass Drop. So it's
becoming Hollywood out in bass Drop. And of course we
know Elon Musk has been out there doing things for
quite for the last few years as well.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
Yeah, with everything that Tesla has built, a lot of
those employees are settling in bass Trap.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Well, Samsung, let's not forget about Samsung too, because that
that Samsung plant in Taylor makes the Tesla thing look
like a.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Little bit apartment building. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
You know who else has drawn attention to Bastrop. I
don't know if you guys are fans of Ryan Holiday,
the right the stoic. Yeah, I'm a big fan. And
he's always talking about his painted porch bookstore in downtown
bass Drop and I've I've gone out there a few
times just to go to that.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Butism did you get to me? Right?
Speaker 5 (05:59):
I've never met him now, but I'm a big fan.
I'd love to meet him.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
I am too. He's an interesting guy.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
There's a there's there's a really well known young male
actor that's kind of settled out there and has kind
of a farm life.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Who's that Stephen?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
It might be it might be Zachary. Zachary was in
the Shazam movies. He also played Kurt Warner in the
biopic about Kurt Warner. But there could be some others too.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Yeah, there's somebody else really big that drawing drawing more
attention to it, is my point.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Well, I think going that direction to escape the city,
to escape the sprawl of Austin, I think you got
to go to Lagrange. I mean I think that. I
don't think Austin will spread to Lagrange. So I'm cool
with that. Trisy ready to pack it up, move out
to Lagrange.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I got it. I found it in Lagrange. Adrian Grenier, Okay's.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Love him and he's like he like grows his own
food and has goats and chickens like that's his escape.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Hey man, he's ready for armageddon. He's ready for the
grid go down.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Good for him. Like him even more now on food supply.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
The Undertaker was out there for a while too. My
brother used to see him at the EGb quite a bit.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Dude. I saw the Undertaker for those of you the
world wrestling, the big time wrestler. I saw him at
his kid's soccer game once in Steiny Ranch.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Coo.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
We're there and our daughter was playing soccer, and it
was one of those things. He's an enormous human being. Yeah,
you walk by and you double take, you know what
I mean. There's only one person in the world that
looks like Mark Callaway, that's the Undertaker. And I saw
him there and I was like, well, that's cool, he's
here watching his kid play soccer. Of course I didn't
say it. I didn't walk up to him and say anything.
(07:40):
But I think he lives in Lakeway Now I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, he did move.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
He was in Basstar for several years and then he
went somewhere else, and I guess maybe Lakewaye sounds like
he's worry ended.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Up right, one of the best characters ever in wrestling.
I think, Steven, let's talk wrestling. Let's leave JB and trishaut.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
With y'all want to talk about the sheep Herders. I'm
in as far as I go.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
So that's a big deal in bass Drop. It'll be
good for the economy and bass Drop. But Chrichia and
I were just we drove to bass Drop last week
and JB, you'll get a kick out of this. You
might be a little bit sad like I was. It's
been a while since I've been there. But one of
the businesses in bass Drop did not make it. The
Blue Lobster shut. There used to be a Blue Lobster
(08:28):
in Bastrop.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm not we used to.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Joke about it all the time because like, how do
you get away with it? It's like McDougall's in America, right, right,
how did you get away with this?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Oh it's hilarious. Yeah, there's no more blue Lobster there
real sad about it.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
But they got a BUCkies. They have a fifty six
thousand square foot BUCkies.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
You know, there's a cool little downtown area Bastrop that
no one ever sees. It's adorable. Yeah, they just do
the seventy one cut through and bass drop. But there's
a great little like traditional text is town Square and.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Yeah, there's a little you can go get it, like
little brew houses and burgers and that it's worth the
trip to go to Painted Porch Bookstore. I'm gonna trust
me on that. It's a really cute place.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
But it's that this guy that we're talking about that
owned owns it, Ryan Holiday. He is very into stoicism.
But the bookstore is a regular bookstore. It's not all
books on philosophy.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Right, No, no, not at all. But he just curates
this like he reads like he must read. It's like
a book every other day and reviews it. Get on
his newsletter. If you're an avid reader, but he just
curates it all just it's a lot of bio stuff,
which I.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
