📝 SUMMARY
The Morning X kicked off with chaos as Trevin encountered aggressive Waymo cars mapping routes in their parking lot, nearly colliding with his vehicle while he was backing into his spot. This led to discussion about the autonomous vehicles’ concerning behavior around town, with Sawyer noting similar incidents reported on Reddit at other Austin locations.
Sports dominated much of the show with Sawyer covering the Dallas Stars’ double-overtime victory over Minnesota, putting them up 2-1 in the series, and promoting upcoming Texas Stars Calder Cup playoff games. The hosts also discussed the evening’s NFL Draft, which inspired their main segment – a series of competitive drafts with Instagram voting to determine winners, with the loser buying lunch.
The highlight was their Austin roads draft, with each host strategically selecting streets based on entertainment, dining, and connectivity. Trevin focused on major thoroughfares like Highway 290, Lamar, and Congress for maximum city coverage, while Sawyer chose experiential roads like Burnet (for food), Red River (for entertainment), 6th Street (for nightlife), and Barton Springs Road (for parks and ACL access). The show also featured typical Morning X banter including Sawyer’s story about his dog OD accidentally consuming cannabis and being unusually mellow afterward.
