Speaker 1 (00:02):
Okay, everyone, it's the JB and Sandy our thanks for
being with us tomorrow. This will be from seven until
eight o'clock, so make sure that you're with us all right.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
My name is Sandy. This is my buddy JB.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Hallo treshus here as well.

Speaker 4 (00:21):
Hi everybody, and we're off and running.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
I'm gonna tell you guys about something.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
And someone said to me, I'm just having casual conversation
with someone and he's like, he makes extra money.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
He's got a side hustle.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
But it's not driving Uber or door Dash or any
of the other thousand side hustles. And by the way,
doesn't it seem like everyone has some kind of side
hustle right that.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
I don't have to just to get by, right.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Everyone's doing something different.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
This guy fills out surveys, gets paid for taking surveys.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Really, I can't think of anything I would want to
do less.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
I would totally do that.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
You would, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Well, he gave me the website. I don't have that
handy right now, but there's a website. They'll let any Tom,
Dick and Harry just build out surveys and get paid
for it. Can't like what kind of money are we talking? Yeah, small,
it's a couple bucks here and there. It takes you
fifteen minutes, and you know.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
But if you do a certain number of them, it
could add up to what twenty thirty bucks an hour
or something?

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah, I guess so, But I mean just taking surveys,
sitting there on your computer, just clicking away.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Being Judgie, being Judgie.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Do that uber driver today? Who's a plumber?

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Oh? Really?

Speaker 5 (01:33):
And I'm like, you would think there'd be more than
enough work in any kind of contractors in this town, right,
But maybe he's just a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah, maybe he's just doing both and going crazy. But
maybe yeah, maybe he's in between plumbing gigs. Right, Yeah,
I don't know. Plumbers make good money, man, You don't
have to plumber. Once told me you'll need to know
a few things about plumbing. Hoop rolls downhill and Payday's
on the fifteenth and the thirty first.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Had you had a plumber joke and you hit pocket?

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Not many, not many people have a plumber joke ready
to go, But I am ready for everybody. I saw
a stat along the lines and I'm.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Rough on numbers here because I just saw it. Like
in the last twenty four hours. It was like if
you were making eighty grand or something in the like eighties,
early nineties, the equivalent today to have the same lifestyle,
you'd have to make two hundred and forty five thousand
a year.

Speaker 6 (02:32):
Oh my gosh, just wow, right now, those numbers are
too high.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
That is a painful number.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
And I don't know how it happens. There's people a
whole lot smarter than me that figure that out. I
don't know how that happens. How things just get more
and more expensive. Yeah, you know that same Uber driver
I was talking to you. He moved here from Mexico,
Mexico City in nineteen ninety five, and he's like, yeah,
I bought a house for fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
Could you tell me hang on to it?

Speaker 5 (03:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:03):
Those who was that got in just hanging We're just
hanging on. We're dangling, but we're hanging on.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
I mean I I kicked myself routinely for selling my
house in Northwest Hills back in almost.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Twenty years ago.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Three Yeah, yeah, but man, I just that was a
great little house. It'd be perfect for us, and it
would have been worth a million bucks now, And I
paid one hundred and seventy grand for it.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
I can kick yourself all day.

Speaker 5 (03:30):
I had a great little house at twenty fourth and
Mopak Yep.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
I had a great house on Shoal Creek Boulevard. Yeah,
we just don't learn our lessons, do We.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Can't think about it. You can't torture yourself like that
the wet epps. It's too painful.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
I had two in West Like. I don't even want
to see what those are worth. I wouldn't be able
to afford the taxes on it anyway, but whatever.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
My house at Northwest Hills was up for sale. I
just happened to be driving by and they had an
open house. An open house was going on, so I
went and looked in the house of the head. It
hadn't changed a whole lot. But I told the real
estate owners, I said, I owned this house for these
people owned this house.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
And she's like, is there anything you need to know?

Speaker 1 (04:15):
I said, the things that happened in this house. You
do not want to know about it. You don't want
to know. Chorsa's got the story we love for us
coming up in just a minute.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
What do you have?

Speaker 1 (04:25):
All right?

Speaker 6 (04:25):
We're not done talking about the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight.
Some legal issues have now been brought into it. So
anybody who's mad and you want to get back at Netflix,
stick around because I'm going to tell you how.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
You can do that. Also, can we talk about the
ring girl Sydney Thomas Thomas?

Remember FDI scene, Hey still to come on the show today.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Movies that make guys cry?

Speaker 1 (05:06):
And JB and I will be honest and we will
fess up that if these movies made us cry, and
if we can remember what scene made us cry, we'll
share that as well. So that's coming up in just
a little bit. And I also have a question for
you guys about Zilker Park. All right, ooh, something that
I read about Zilker Park. I want to see if

(05:27):
you guys can remember and you guys are both of
you lifelong Austin Nights, and I'll see if you remember
a certain thing that used to be in Zilker Park.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Stay with us. That's coming up, the stories we law.

Speaker 6 (05:38):
All right, let's talk about the Jake Paul Mike Tyson
fite a little bit more. Netflix is now saying that
one hundred and eight million people watched the fight.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
I do not think that's a true statement.

Speaker 6 (05:49):
I think one hundred and eight million people tried to
watch the fight, but that really did not happen. So
people have just been mad about it. They're like, what
are we going to do? Some people chose to cancel
their accounts. Well, if you want to. A Florida man
named Ronald Denton has filed a class action lawsuit, calling
Netflix's failure legendary. He's suing for breach of contract and

(06:10):
other offenses and seeking unspecified damages. So if you're mad
enough and want to fill out the paperwork, you can
jump on board and see if he can get a
few bucks back out of it.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Can you take the quality of the fight into consideration?

Speaker 6 (06:24):
You didn't miss anything, right, but at the time that
it was constantly buffering, nobody knew they.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Weren't missing anything.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
No damages, I'm getting I've gotten so frustrated in the
past week. You watch you know, these people who understand
boxing breaking it down, and then when you see it
in slow mo, you see how many times Tyson could
have ripped his head off and puch and he back off.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yeah, Jake Paul pulled a punch too.

Speaker 6 (06:49):
I mean, I'm not any kind of a boxing expert
anywhere in the realm, and I was like, he totally
just pulled those punches.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
It was so obvious.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
I mean, if there should be a lot suit, it
should be a class action lawsuit from all of us
that saw it, because it wasn't a real fight, right, They.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
Said it was going to be a and they said
it was gonna be a real fight. Yeah, there's loss.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Right.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
What's this guy's name, Ronald Dixon.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
Ronald Blue, Denton, Colin Blue.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
They're calling Blue with Blue.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Come on now, really, are you that mad about it
to waste your time with a filling out paperwork for
a lawsuit and you're gonna get like six bucks, right
if you get anything.

Speaker 6 (07:28):
What's annoying too is Netflix is acknowledging that some members
had a bad experience, and they're putting up posts everywhere
touting what a huge success it was, like one of
the biggest global sporting events watch, but.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
It wasn't because not everybody could watch.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
It wouldn't. Here's what Netflix needs to worry about is
Christmas Day. They've got a football game and Beyonce is
doing the halftime show, and if they have they'll have
the civil unrest.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yeah you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
If this thing is as bad as the Jake Paul
Mike Tyson fight was, I mean, they need to get
their act together. They need a little help. For me,
I'll be happy to point out what's.

Speaker 6 (08:08):
Wrong some wires and push some buttons and stuff do
some things.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
You know, I'd get into this lawsuit.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
I'm just too busy with my campbella June one and
the nisso philioma one. I just I just filled out
the paperwork because I figured there's so many people they'll
never know.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
I mean, I gotta check everybody right.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
We're not gonna at your hobby in side hustle, Yeah yeah, yeah,
just apply and go class action lawsuits.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
They've been they've been advertising both of those forever forever,
Like when is it finally going to be a go
to court or whatever it is that they do.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
It makes you wonder how many people do they have?
You know, they're still advertising it.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Yeah, so I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
I don't know, but it must have been bad. The
miso philioma. I don't know what it is.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I don't it's from asbestos.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
I think. And then the water at Campbela. June Man
had news man that stuff. So I'm just kicking Netflix.
Hopefully they'll have it together by Christmas. That's the story.
We love to JB and Sandy our thanks for being
with us tomorrow. We're gonna do this from seven until
eight o'clock. Also a reminder that the Longhorn Game is

(09:18):
at home this weekend against the University of Kentucky, which
is kind of just a weird thing to say.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Texas playing Kentucky right now?

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Right, Yeah, they had a big win early in the season,
didn't they Kentucky?

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, they upset somebody remember Alabama? Maybe no, Vanderbilt beat Alabama.
That was that big upset. But I think that's an
early kickoff on Saturday. I'm not exactly sure. I should
have done my little homework before, but anyway, it should
be a lot of fun. You'll probably see a lot
of coonskin caps and stuffoff.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Yeah two thirty, all right, stay with us.

Speaker 5 (09:58):
More.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
We're coming up on Austin's eighty station one O three
point one. Here are the some of the top guy
cry movies. You know, movies that make guys cries, because
guys cry at different movies than girls cry at.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
Unless you're my friends, got cross it. He cries it
ever he does. I'm a crier too, though. I you
can get me pretty easily.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
But if you're watching it at home, do you like
just sit there and go, God, I hope she doesn't
walk in right now.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
I think my wife's seen me walked in on me
crying enough.

Speaker 5 (10:27):
Now, yeah, well here's some of the I'll cry watching
the Voice.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Oh really, I didn't.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
Do the other night. Oh my gosh.

Speaker 6 (10:36):
When the judges start crying, and then I'm.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Like, yeah, are you crying? I get caught up in
that emotion.

Speaker 5 (10:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Sure.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Before just a little bit ago, you told this there
was a movie from your childhood that you go right to.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
What is it? What is It?

Speaker 5 (10:48):
I was nine years old. The year was nineteen seventy six.
Your Rocky came out, Not Rocky, not Star Wars. I
cried all the way home from the theater. I remember
it was pouring rain, and I can just lay in
my head against the cold glass rain, just bawling the.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Whole way down. What movie King Kong O?

Speaker 4 (11:20):
I did not see that coming?

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Oh oh yeah, yeah you know.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Do you know that, Trisa? Like it's a monster movie freak?

Speaker 5 (11:31):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Like, oh really all the what are the ones you watch?

Speaker 5 (11:35):
Kingong?

Speaker 4 (11:36):
Godzilla?

Speaker 6 (11:37):
I freaked when King Kong versus Godzilla came out.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
I didn't know who to root for him.

Speaker 6 (11:42):
I didn't know who to ripper, and I truly was
trying to figure out who I thought would win.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
So surprisebe Did they capture Kong in that one in
nineteen seventy six or one?

Speaker 5 (11:50):
Hapen it was the same story, it sort of recycled. Yeah,
he was caught and brought over on a ship and
a cage and paraded around the city and then he
gets loose for the girl. Yeah, this girlfriend who was
so hot? That scene, the shower scene that made me
feel funny in my shorts?

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Is that a big pulled her top down? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (12:13):
I remember that.

Speaker 6 (12:16):
So, JB, were you a super dirty tiny JB like Sandy?
Sandy was a dirty Sandy at an early age?

Speaker 5 (12:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah really Tricia, Yeah, I
remember telling girls in like kindergarten, first grade, that I
had a a like an encyclopedia book with pictures of
them naked in it.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
You can't do that in this day and age. That
would get in so much trouble.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Like Tricia doesn't believe like like third grade, fourth grade
dudes are horny.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
I mean it's so young.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Hey, we're trying to look up skirts and do whatever
we can.

Speaker 5 (12:53):
I can tell Tricia the first dirty joke I learned.
It always kills. Okay, now you'll have to bleep it. Okay,
we can get her reaction. Okay, all right, all right,
do you want me just to say, yeah, yeah, I
just feel so long.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
I got my finger on the button right here.

Speaker 5 (13:08):
We just make sure this doesn't get out there to
the general public without some leapage. First joke I learned
from Robbie Robinson in choir practice. He said, JB, you
know you want to know how to tell when when
a girl's horny? I said, no, how do you tell

(13:29):
he goes when?

Speaker 4 (13:33):
My god, how old are you like?

Speaker 6 (13:39):
That makes me uncomfortable as a full grown adult to hear.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Me say that.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
I was probably ten.

Speaker 6 (13:44):
Oh my god, I know you want to have a son,
I couldn't do it first joke.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
On first dirty joke, I learned.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
It's so dirty the bar a dirty bar.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
At that age. Oh that's plus they never recovered.

Speaker 6 (14:00):
Oh god, it's gonna be Sandy's new favorite joke, that's all.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Now, that might be my new favorite joke. Sorry, we
couldn't air that, friends. Okay, I'll give you the real one,
like the un the unbleeped version on Facebook.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
I don't think you should.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
I think okay, go kick you off. I don't want
to put more workload on you. But I'll tell you
another thing. Robbie Robinson taught me.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
Who's Robbie?

Speaker 6 (14:26):
Is that a comedian or just one of your buddies.

Speaker 5 (14:28):
It was one of my buddies. And're still next to
him in choir And uh, you gotta believe this too, please,
I'm marking it right now, okay, because he was he
was talking about like you know dat and ugly girls JB.

Speaker 6 (14:55):
It hurts my ears to think that a tiny gen
year old JB do those words I know and do
those things.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
My wife wants to go to the class the fortieth
reunion just to meet this guy.

Speaker 6 (15:10):
I mean, what in the world if that's where he's
starting at ten.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
What did he go on today as an adult?

Speaker 3 (15:16):
I don't know what happened to him.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
A right, guys, we got a little sidetrack, all right,
So I'll tell you what we got to give this
this guy cry movies.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
It's fair shake. So we'll take a break and we'll
get to that.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
I know we were supposed to do it now, but
you know, sidetrack with JB's dirty jokes and yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
All that kind of stuff.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
So if you stay with us, we've got it coming
up on Austin's eighties station one oh three point one. Okay,
if you're just joining us, you really missed out on
JB's dirty jokes.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
I mean they they were home runs said they.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
Kill little clarity for those who are just tuning in,
these are like the first two dirty jokes I learned
and when I'm ten years old, and you remember, yep.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Really the bar was high this dirty Well we started
out talking about guy cry movies, and I've got this list.
I'm just going to bang through a couple of these
that I know you and I have both seen. And Tricia,
if you cried in these two, you can be an
honorary dude during this Okay, Goodwill Hunting came out in

(16:21):
ninety seven, by the way, Matt Damon ben Affleck Robin Williams,
there's a scene in there, boy, it got me when
he's sitting there on the bench at the pond and
he's given him that whole monologue about to will about
I bet you could tell me all about the Sistine Chapel,
but you can't tell me what it smells like.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
I remember that scenes.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
One of the best scenes ever, ever, awesome.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
And then of course the very end of it made
me choke up to because the ben Affleck character had
been telling him that every day he wakes up hoping
when he goes to pick him up that he's gone.

Speaker 5 (16:57):
And he's no longer. There was fixed scene, almost no dialogue.
You just you're watching him.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
He's like, I did it.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
It made me. I'm not going to sit here on
the radio and say anything made me cry, but.

Speaker 5 (17:11):
I maybe a tear or two, right, I cried at
that one.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
I'm sure it did.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
It was a good one. I'm starting to think through
that movie, if there was another scene. We'll move on
next up, Brave Heart, JB. What scene got you?

Speaker 5 (17:27):
If it all I don't think Brave Heart got me
that way?

Speaker 3 (17:32):
But Gladiator? Did Gladiator get you? That comes on tomorrow,
the new one, by the way.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
Yeah, when he dies at the end, how did he die?

Speaker 3 (17:45):
He remember he fought the emperor the Oh was it rigged?

Speaker 5 (17:50):
Yeah, well it sort of was rigged because you know,
so it's Joaquin Phoenix becomes the Emperor, right because I
killed his father.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
I can't believe we're having this conversation.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
I know the movie. The movie came out in what ninety.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
Eight or something two thousands, but then you know, Maximus
got more and more famous because he kept winning, and
then he was a crowd favorite. But then the Emperor
stabbed him before the fight.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
Under his armory stabbed.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
So he's bleeding to death during the fight and he
can't only he can only use one arm. And when
they carry him off, like he left the Emperor dead
on the floor and carry him off, and then he's
envisioning reconnect his wife and son again.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Yeah, I need to rewatch that, JB.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Do you happen to remember it's probably nineteen ninety eight
and we had Russell Crowe on the radio.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
We had no idea who he was.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Do you remember that we had no idea who he was.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
He had a band thirty on foot of grunts that
was playing, and we had no idea.

Speaker 5 (19:00):
He had only done a couple of quirky movies at
that point. Yeah, he wasn't a household name at all
at all.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Along the same lines, we had John Stewart on the show.

Speaker 5 (19:13):
I remember having John Stewart on because I was a
fan of that book.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
That's why we had him on making pictures of famous people.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, I had no clue who he was, no clue
none whatsoever.

Speaker 5 (19:25):
I had been following his stand up and then I
had just I had picked up that book.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
It's great. I've been a John Stewart fan forever. Another
on the list of guy cry movies. I can't remember
if I cried for Andy Dufren or not. In Shawshank Redemption.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
I don't recall if I cried or not, but it's
definitely a good one.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Right.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
I may have choked up a little bit when Morgan
Freeman got out and he was working at the grocery store,
and he asked him if he could go to the bathroom,
and they were like, dude, you don't have to. He
had been so institutionalized and in prison. So but I
don't remember that movie really making me cry. But I
knew something was up with that poster. I knew something

(20:09):
was up with.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
That poster when I was watching itself.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
When Red got in the bigger poster has like something's
going on in there. But Andy doframe man, he said
his mind to something. He didn't quit. Yep, loved it. Next,
let's see if there's another one that made you guy cry?
Oh gosh, Saving Private Ryan. Oh yeah, that definitely got
to me. That guy got to get you several times

(20:33):
with that one. Which he got you jib.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Uh, oh my gosh.

Speaker 5 (20:40):
Probably when at the very end when uh, the Private
Ryan's with his family he's an old man.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, they're visiting the grave. That's a good one. Yeah,
that survivor's guilt.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
He's like, why me? Yeah? Right right?

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Tricia, did that one choke you up? She's got a
cold black heart, by the way, not yeah, it gets
to her. I mean it's there.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
Here's what's weird like stuff in real life.

Speaker 6 (21:08):
I'll be like I should be crying right now, and
I'm not, like everybody else around me is crying. But
then I'll watch like a Hallmark commercial and totally tear up,
or the voice and totally tear up the movies make
me cry?

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Or when trash men play with little kids?

Speaker 6 (21:21):
Oh, when trashmen interact with children?

Speaker 5 (21:24):
God?

Speaker 6 (21:25):
Or when like an elephant is a friend with a
chicken like her best friends kills me every time?

Speaker 2 (21:34):
It's so random.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, trishall walk in, She'll just be sobbing and I'm like,
let me guess trash man and a little kid.

Speaker 6 (21:46):
I don't know why, and I'll show in the video,
all right.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
I actually got this from Reddit, the Austin sub reddit,
and here's what it says. I swear I can remember
Zilker having a playscape like in the nineteen nineties. Was
it a dream? And then says I do have vivid
memories of the Lion Water Fountain for sure. Do you

(22:15):
guys remember a playscape being in Zilker Park?

Speaker 6 (22:22):
I mean you mean like playground with stuff on it,
or like a specific Yeah, like.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
An old school playscape by the pool.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
Yeah, on the Barton Spring side, between Barton Springs and
the pool. There was a big giant old fire truck
there that you could play on, big old fire truck.
There was one of those merry go rounds that if
it got going real fast, have flung all the children off, which.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
By the way, the merry go round is gone the
way of the Dodo bird. They're extinct. Ye, they're not
around anymore. They're two dangerous fortle children.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
I mean, I love that as Oh yeah, I loved it.

Speaker 6 (22:58):
The challenge was seeing how many g's you could withstand
before you got flung off. Your friends spinning it as
hard as they could and you holding on as hard
as you could.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
It was probably like had an old metal slide in
the Texas Heed. It was just like shrying your skin, right.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
I think there was a huge talls Like in the seventies.
I went to seventies and early eighties. I went to
a daycare and in the summer, twice a week, maybe
three times a week, that was our field trip for
the day, was to go to Zilker Park and play
on all that stuff.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
So you're right, there was one there. This was a
great got answered a million times on rerddit that there was.
I apparently they took it out because I don't think
it's there anymore.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
Two days so long, too much liability.

Speaker 6 (23:43):
My main story from Zilker Park when I was in
elementary school in my Winburkhart story.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Oh this is a good story. Go ahead, this is good.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
So JB.

Speaker 6 (23:52):
Do you remember where the Zilker Zephyr, that's what it
was called at the time. You remember the tunnel that
it went through, right before it pulled up to the
depot where you'd it on and off, right there by
the pool. It was that dark tunnel. We were there
one day and huh hold, oh, I got nine, ten maybe,
and I.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
Was just calling you guys dirty the other day.

Speaker 6 (24:14):
Apparently I was dirty at the age of ten two
because there was a group of us standing right at
the entrance to that tunnel, and there was a boy,
Wayne Burkhart and me, and we made a deal of
I'll show you mine if you show me yours. Wayne
went first, showed me his, and then I turned around
and ran off.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
I never showed him mine.

Speaker 6 (24:35):
And every time I drive Pazzilker Park, for some reason,
I remember that, I feel a little guilty.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
Like it's probably still roaming around waiting for a little peak.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Right, Yeah, that's my Zilka.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Oh Wayne, just hit me up Jimmy and DM. I'll
send you a photo.

Speaker 6 (24:52):
Wayne Burkhart, who got put into our high school year
book twice, once says Wayne Burkhart, and then again as
Wayne Wurkhart.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
He was spelt him.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
I think that's so funny.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
I wonder if he's still around.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
I felt that, sorry, Wayne probably sitting at Deep Betty
Cabaret telling the story about this girl when he was
ten years old that.

Speaker 6 (25:12):
Still was in the peak deep distrust of women started
was with me at Zilker Park.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
So, guys, where is I don't know if you know
the answer to this.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
Where's Philosopher's Rock at Zilker and Barton Springs?

Speaker 5 (25:26):
Have you ever heard of that part of the pool
it is? It's out in front of the pool. Yeah,
there's a scoldriff guy sitting on the dudes right.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
I don't know, I don't remember. Philosopher's Rock. Yeah, it's
right right in front of the pool entrance.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Do they got a bunch of people like the gather
there and philosophize on things?

Speaker 5 (25:41):
I don't know how they do that at Egos or
the o Henry Punoff.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
So is that still around? I think so that's funny.
If it's not, it should be brought back. It's the
most annoying thing ever, but it's it's kind of an
Austin thing. The o Henry pun Off. Yeah, it's rock
with it.

Speaker 5 (26:01):
It is the rock with the sculpture of the three
people right in front of the pool that.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
I can't picture it at all shows The.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Last time I was at the Barton Springs Pool, I
didn't even know if it's reopened yet. I know they
shut it down in the summer for something. I don't
know if it ever in need of repair. You probably
know some of the people. You know Barton Springs Pool
has a hardcore swimming group in the mornings.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
I don't one that does that.

Speaker 5 (26:27):
You can go, yeah, you can go for free before
they open, or that's how it used to be.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
And those are the lap swimmers exactly year round.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Pammel Bok from the formerly from the Austin American Statesmen,
she's one of them.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yeah, she gets there every morning and swim. What do
way to start your day? Right?

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Right?

Speaker 3 (26:45):
I respect for people who do that. Yeah, get you going.
I just saw a thing about deep Betty.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
Everyone talks about Barton Springs, but a lot of New
Austinites don't know about deep Eddy. I just saw a
photo like in an Austin memory. It was from the
forties really, so it looks like from a distance you're looking,
it just looks like a normal concrete public pool, but
other people don't realize that's also spring fed water.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
I've never been to Dee Betty. Oh dude, you gotta go.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
And then you gotta have Pool Burger that opened what
three four years ago something like that, maybe longer, one
of the best burgers in town.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
That trailer, where is it? Where's Pool Burger?

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Where's de Betty?

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Is it out?

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Is it out?

Speaker 3 (27:35):
Like past? Now?

Speaker 2 (27:36):
Just tell me where it is.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
It's it's on Lake Austin Boulevard and just behind the bar,
behind the cabaret.

Speaker 5 (27:42):
Behind the cab so the cabaret, the bar which is
now a historical marker, which I helped preserve that building and.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Helping the bar.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
And then behind it there's a trailer that's Pool Burger,
and then there's a parking lot, and then there's Dee
Betty Pool down towards the river.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Okay, so what's the attraction.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
If you're going south on Mopack towards like towards Southwest Parkway,
there's an exit down there.

Speaker 5 (28:06):
There's always cars back. Oh that's just a green belt access. Okay,
there's not a swimming hole there, well, yeah, there is.
There's it's called like twin Falls. It's been it's been
dry since you know, the beginning of the summer.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Is it right by seventy one? Is that what you're
talking about? By the mall?

Speaker 3 (28:26):
More like three p sixty in Mopak.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:28):
Oh, and a little tip for you, it's it's beautiful
to go hike there. Here's the bad news. You will
see a lot of pit bulls on the weekend. You
can come after me. I'm a dog lover, but it's
just a little unsettling if you're taking your little kids there.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Yeah. And I'm not blaming the dogs.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
I'm blaming the dog owners, right so, and and the
other thing is ask any police officer if you have
anything in your car, it will get broken into.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
That oh geez, yeah, the smash the window. It's like
at Mount Banel too, is another one.

Speaker 5 (29:03):
You have very popular place to break into cars because
they know you're gone for a while, right yep, right,
I remember there's a whole rash of it at Mount
Banel last year and there.

Speaker 4 (29:13):
All the time. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
I remember I did a.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Ride out with apd ones and they were they were
walking along and are and to never leave change in
your car, And I go really, he goes, yeah, people
will smash your windows for thirty five cents. Yeah, and
they'll do that fifteen twenty times to get just to
get some crack.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Like wow, that's messed up, right. That used to be
in the good old days in East Austin. It's not
like that anymore. It's the jay. I mean, it's weird
when you East Austin when you've got those really cool
hip and trendy farm to market restaurants at twelfth in
Chican I mean.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
Right, there's a juice land at twelfth in Chican. Oh
that that's not used to by your.

Speaker 5 (30:00):
Track and how you can get a twenty dollars juice
that's changed.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
We'll take a break.
