• 7:51
  Speaker 8: read the Declaration of Independence. One of those guys, they
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: asked for a couple of radio guys. So I raised

  Speaker 8: read the Declarations of Independence. And then the great part
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: about this, there were you don't have many signers. There
• 9:10

  Speaker 7: Tucker had a great story about that. Yeah, they were
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: talking about it just the other day.

  Speaker 6: So whenever, obviously you got to think back to what
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: the goal of this was. You had a bunch of
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: people that were British. They said, we can't live this
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: way anymore, need our own thing in your own country,
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: and you have a representative government. And they knew dang
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: well that if they signed that document and it didn't
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: go their way.
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: Oh man, they're dead.

  Speaker 8: Oh man, Oh they're hanging hang together, hang separately, exactly right.
• 10:00

• 10:11
  Speaker 6: really spiking the football there.
• 10:13

  Speaker 6: to Tom Turbotville come up on the fourth of July,
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: and then some other odds and ends. So let's I
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: don't think we've done this one, and this is this
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: is an oddly good question. And again, if this is
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: the honor code, don't google it. Test yourself. How long
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: was the American Revolutionary War?
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: In years?
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: Oh? I should know this?
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: But do you know this, ryer?
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: If there's multiple choice, I could probably guess.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: I'm not gonna make it multiple choices, And I don't know.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: Do you know I've got a number? The first number
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: I'm the first number I would throw out, would be
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: absolutely wrong. But someone this seems like one that someone's
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: gonna crush. But yeah, how long was the American Revolutionary War?
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: In years? Oh, we've got text coming.
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: In nine, sevent nine, six, nine, five, sixteen twenty. First
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: guess is from CJ. I am gonna say that could
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: be a partial correct. I was gonna say his answer
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: because you were gonna go with. Okay, Mike says two years.
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: Two years is incorrect. My guess immediately, it's gonna be
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: four years. Mine was six seven years seven incorrect?
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: Seven? I am you know what.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna give away two of these, one to who
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: I know got it correct, because that's the answer I
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: have printed here, but one to CJ. Because someone's gonna
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: get me on a date. I know how this someone
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: is gonna get me on a date. Technicality. I don't
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: want that to happen. The answer eight years. My guess
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: is always four. But that's not that war. That's the
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: Civil War, different war eight years between April seventeen seventy five,
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: which are the Battles of Lexington and Concord through September
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: seventeen eighty three and the Treaty of Paris. That would

• 24:36

  Speaker 9: Uh the city, MYSELF i think the, council the mayor
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: and the city we're all still committed to the, project
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: whether or not The shulman family is involved in it or.
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: Not we know that that's it's going to be a
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: great fit For Midtown. Park that, facility or the building
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: itself IS i won't say it's largely largely, complete but it.
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: Is it is much more substantially completed than what it
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: looks like from the. Outside there's a tremendous investment that
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: has already been placed on the ground that The city
• 25:24
  Speaker 9: Of brian. Is it's, EFFECTIVELY i, mean it's a ground,
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: lease but this is an investment that the citizens can
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: take advantage of at some. Point we're regretful that the
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: that there have been delays on the. Project i'm, hopeful you,
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: KNOW i would like to see The shulman family involved simply.
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: BECAUSE i know they know how to make this thing.
• 25:44
  Speaker 9: Work, Yeah i'm, LIKE i, say it's regretful that they've
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: got some issues related actually to unrelated to that specific
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: project that they're dealing. WITH i think up In waco
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: there are some some deadlines looming that that we'll see
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: how those things play, out but as of right, now
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: we're still committed to the. Project the variety of the
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: most of the projects over At Midtown park are just
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: absolute shining examples of, success from big Shots i'm, sorry
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: Top golf now to the playground which is under.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: Construction The legends.
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: Event center has been wildly, successful and we've gotten the
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: spillway nearly complete so that we'll begin spelling. Spilling we'll
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: begin filling the lake here. Soon so it's going to
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: be a real, destination and we're very proud of.
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: IT i would argue that it already.
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: IS i DON'T i don't think it's possible to look
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: at where we started with that portion of land in.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: Town if you go back ten twelve Years Olbrian, MUNI
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: Ol Brian, muni and going all the way back to
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: the old version Of Travis field and then The Little
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: league fields and everything and so it's a it's a massive.
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: Undertaking BUT i was just you were over there. TOO
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: i THOUGHT i saw you at the at The founders.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: Night that's right if you have not had a chance
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: to just go through it and look at the amount
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: of people that use it as, walking use it as,
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: biking use it as just a nature space to hang
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: out and get, away use it as high grade event,
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: centers you, know with legends and and everything. Else it
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: is kind of a long long. Way and WHAT i
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: hear you saying is that regardless that, building even though
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: it's obviously not, done there are options available to The
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: city Of brian to be able to turn that into
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: another part of the success over.
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: There that's exactly.
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: Right and and LIKE i, SAY i don't want TO
• 27:41
  Speaker 9: i don't want to jinx, anything AND i certainly don't
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: want to take anything away from The shulman. Family they've
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: made great investments with The city Of. Brian they've got
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: a long history, here oh.
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: Jeez decades and decades and decades of amazing.
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: Work and So i'm not gonna detegrate. That And i'm you,
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: KNOW i wish them the, best but we have to
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: do what's right for the citizens and the taxpayers Of,
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: brian and that may or may not include The shulman,
• 28:01
  Speaker 9: family BUT i will tell you that will be a
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: destination entertainment venue of some.
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: Sort AND i just hope that.
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: The litigation doesn't drag this thing out any longer than
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: it absolutely has to. Be but the facilities At Midtown
• 28:16
  Speaker 9: park are. Fantastic i'm going to just throw something out here.
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: TOO i tell my wife this all the. Time one
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: of our former, Mayors Jason, biyinski he had a dream
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: many years. Ago they talked about a, superpark and he
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: took a tremendous amount of heat over. That as a
• 28:29
  Speaker 9: matter of, FACT i think they even had a referendum
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: one time that was attempting to stop what might be
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: a super.
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: Park it was shockingly controversial at the, time as you,
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: know as a lot of things.
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: ARE i get, it. SURE i think we all.
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: Understand how it, is and people get scared over the
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: idea change and everything. Else i'm certain Whenever Downtown brian
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: started revital His, isaah that was going to be my.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Point if you look at what The city Of brian
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: accomplished with the downtown revitalization project and creating that from
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: what was on the verge of extinction at one point
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: in time into what it is. Now and look at
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: what you're doing With Midtown. PARK i think THE i
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: just got to give. PROPS i think The city Of
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: brian has done a remarkable job with those two.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: Things BUT i remember the controversy around yes and and
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: it was and it is a wild thing to see
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: what it's turned into.
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: Today, YEAH i mean it's it's, like, say we're kind
• 29:28
  Speaker 9: of walking on the shoulders of. GIANTS i used to,
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: say maybe that's a little bit, hyperbole but BUT i
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: will say, that you, know some people made some decisions
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: that we were controversial at the, time And Downtown brian
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: is a perfect example of, that the idea of putting
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: public dollars towards this. Revitalization but look what it's. Done
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: AND i was in Downtown brian yesterday for. Lunch i'd
• 29:47
  Speaker 9: go to the Yard dogs games pretty much pretty much every,
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: night and my wife AND i were leaving there night

• 29:55
  Speaker 9: i don't, know nine o'clock at, night AND i couldn't
• 29:58
  Speaker 9: count the number of people that were walking running in a, nice, safe,
• 30:02
  Speaker 9: clean beautiful. Space so we're very proud of, it and
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: we're going to continue to work through these, uh these
• 30:08
