Solar Eclipse Observations and Fredericksburg Tourism
The hosts discuss the recent annular solar eclipse and the upcoming total eclipse scheduled for April in Texas. Observations from Fredericksburg include cloud cover issues and the significant influx of tourists that filled local hotels like the Comfort Inn. A 10-degree temperature drop typically associated with full eclipses is noted as a key physical phenomenon.

00:00 Spreadinating. And we're partying like it's 1599 and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6, In The Morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry... ...and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're all wondering Where How & Why did Pete Davidson become a sex symbol? I'm John C. Dvorak. Wow man you guys in California are preoccupied with the wrong things
00:40 Nobody cares about Pete Davidson anymore. Taco Bell does Really is there a commercial Oh a How do you how are you? What are you watching that you get Taco Bell commercials?

Yeah, so he added two though You had it too Oh yeah, we had the it was a 95% wasn't full like yours down there. But although I know yours wasn't quite 100% full but you got one coming in April that's 100%. And it's going to be in Texas? Yes, yes. The 1% 100% well the one yesterday was a was good jip was a total JIP

You gotta real coming through a bunch of fog you got a really not only didn't get dark. He wouldn't know it even happened So Fredericksburg was full. It wasn't like what we expect for the full eclipse in April, but it was full and I know it was full because we had dinner with some new friends Remember I told you I had my birthday dinner and this guy bought us bought our dinner? Did the guy from across the room he winked at ya afterwards I understand Oh yeah
02:19 Anyway, so they had a... he has a ranch like in Midland or something and he lives in Austin but they always come through Fredericksburg on their way to the ranch. And that's how we met them and they could... They had to stay at The Comfort Inn then were lucky to get A Comfort Inn room which is almost a step below La Quinta! Everything was full but it wasn't overfull crazy you know? But people all... I was like ohhhh.... I just don't get it Why are people so fascinated by it, by the eclipse? What is it that... I've seen a couple of them. The big boys and moon and sun and fun. It's interesting what I always thought was interesting when you have a full eclipse again actually literally gets about 10 degrees colder right on the spot yeah that didn't happen yesterday either no I didn't have me here either but
03:16 But normally you get this and as you can feel it, it's like oh. And by the way when that happens when everyone out there gets to experience this 10 degree drop in temperature when the sun gets full eclipse for just a few seconds think to yourself ah! The sun has nothing to do with global warming. Okay well speaking of that so this new friend we're gonna call him Paul the tycoon, the oil tycoon So he had to... This new friend of yours has to be named in code? Yeah, I haven't discussed with him yet that I'm gonna tell you about him. I don't want to ruin my new friendship just yet
