They talk about how Austin has changed over the years, and how they feel about the city they love.
They start by sharing their favorite places to eat in Austin, such as Franklins and Stubbs, which are famous for their BBQ. They also mention some of the food trucks that offer diverse and delicious cuisines. They then move on to talk about the iconic places that make Austin special, such as Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and the Capitol. They recall some of the fun and memorable experiences they had at these places, and how they reflect the culture and spirit of Austin.
They also discuss the music scene in Austin, which is known as the Live Music Capital of the World. They talk about some of the artists and genres that they enjoy, and how music is an integral part of Austin's identity. They also pay tribute to Austin legend Willie Nelson, who is a symbol of the city's musical heritage and influence.
They then switch to talk about the challenges that Austin faces, such as traffic, gentrification, and loss of friendliness. They share their frustrations and concerns about the congestion on IH 35, which is one of the worst highways in the country. They also talk about the impact of Elon Musk's presence in Austin, and his plans to build tunnels to ease the traffic problem. They wonder if this will be a good or bad thing for Austin, and how it will affect the environment and the community.
They also talk about how Austin is becoming more expensive and less diverse, as more people and businesses move in from other states. They worry that this will change the character and vibe of Austin, and make it less welcoming and friendly. They also express their support for Austin FC, the city's first professional soccer team, which they hope will bring more unity and excitement to Austin.
