🤔 If a gadget could record your every conversation and organize your life, would you trust it—or run for the hills? That’s the burning question JB, Sandy, and Tricia debate in this lively, laugh-filled episode of The JB and Sandy Show! 🎙️ The show kicks off with Austin’s beloved tradition—the Fruitcake Song. JB shares the hilarious backstory of this 30-year-old classic, written with his friend Rusty (“He was basically Weird Al Yankovic, but not as famous. And more talented!”). The song, about a guy in love with Santa, has sparked laughter and a little controversy over the years, but it’s become a staple of the holiday season. “Don’t be that person who complains—just have a laugh and enjoy the fruitcake!” 🍰🎅 Tech talk takes center stage as JB reveals his latest obsession: an AI-powered necklace called Fieldy. This futuristic gizmo listens to your conversations, creates reminders, and summarizes your life (“If there’s anyone on planet Earth that needs this, it’s JB!”). The crew debates its usefulness, style (“It’s very ‘I’ve fallen and I can’t get up’ type of necklace”), and privacy. Would you wear it? Would you let it record your “Tricia logic” moments for posterity? 🤖 Memorable moments and quotes include:
- JB’s legendary memo recorder story: “Mile marker 112, good place to bury a body.”
- The Fruitcake Song’s playful lyrics: “Whistle toe over the door, just bought some leather from the store… Yes, I’m having me a fruitcake for Christmas!”
- Sandy’s reflection on studio musicians: “There’s a lot of people that just didn’t get paid what they should have gotten paid… They’re the unsung heroes of the soundtrack of your life.”
- The lost brick saga: Tricia’s family bought a commemorative brick on Town Lake, but no one can find it. “It’s supposed to be where the ducks are hanging out… It’s probably got poop on it.”
- Holiday recommendations, including the documentary “The Wrecking Crew” and the hospital drama “The Pit.”
- A spirited debate about charitable gifts (“If someone gives you a card saying a donation was made in your name, is that really a gift?”).
- Running shoe advice, trail adventures, and the comfort of familiar routines.
- “If there’s anyone on planet Earth that needs this, it’s JB. Holy crap, I’m gonna buy one for you.”
- “Don’t be that person who complains—just have a laugh and enjoy the fruitcake.”
- “It’s supposed to be where the ducks are hanging out. Couldn’t find it. It’s probably got poop on it.”

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Fruitcake song coming up in less than fifteen minutes,
so stick around. It's a big song about a guy
in love. Was Santa that JB saying thirty years ago,
and it's an Austin tradition.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It's a classic. It's one of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yeah, it's right up there with you know, White Christmas
and Rudolph and Little drum Little Drummer Boy, all those songs.
It's right up there. So we've got that coming up
in just a little bit. But little quick backstory. JB
has a tendency to buy anything that's advertised to him
in his Instagram feed, and we often feature those things.
(00:36):
We call him JB's insta got me. But this time
JB had enough sense to bounce it off of Tricia
and I before he makes the purchase. That's a good call.
And let me guess it's a tech thing because JB
has always been on the cutting edge of the latest
and greatest tech stuff that's out there. He's not afraid
(00:58):
to take a chance at it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I've always been that way, I think.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, for as long as I've known JB for thirty
plus years, he always had cool gizmos. Yeah, gizmos. He
was the first guy knew to have a BlackBerry. Yeah,
it was you know Tom Pilot before that with the
little antenna that flipped up. Remember that I.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Had an m P three player before the before Apple
made one.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Did you have the Dell jukebox? I had one.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah, I did have to have one way before that.
It was called the Rio.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I remember that.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Yeah, I was all excited. It held eight songs.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
It was a real pain in the butt to get
the songs on it.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, like those songs you loaded on it.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
So what's this one? All right?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
You may need to pull up the website to see
what I'm talking about. So it's it's Fieldy, you know,
like f I E L D Y Fieldy dot AI.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
It is, Okay, I.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Just saw it earlier this morning, so I haven't done
a lot of research on it now. It's it's it's
basically a necklace, an ai necklace that you wear all
the time, and it records all that doesn't record, sorry,
doesn't record. It listens to all your conversations and tries
to organize your life.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It transfers them into reminders and.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Planet Earth that needs this. It's JB. Holy I'm gonna
buy one for you.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
But it'll pick up like if you go have coffee
with your friend and and it'll pick up on things like, oh,
your friends said their mom passed. Would you like to
send flowers like what? Or you got? You talked about
getting together before Christmas? Might I suggest a date?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Stuff like that, Jamie, hold on, well, I've got a
mystery discount for my email website. Did you the mystery
disccount for yours? Sandy?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You might need one of these too.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I know.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I am gonna say. They did not do much to
make it look like a piece of jewelry. It's very
I've fallen and I can't get up typing.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
They could have made it better looking.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, they did not shry in and disguise it as
jewelry at all.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
It's like a keyfob around your neck, but it seems important.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Can you wear it under a shirt?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Guessing if you can hear the conversation? Here's some things
some like. Here's some example of some tasks, just telling
you send an email to coworker Monday the seventeenth at
nine am, organize the guest list, venue and prepare your speech.
Meditate for ten minutes, plan a weekend trip, review, your
monthly budget. It's just interesting.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
That is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
How much is one of these?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
It looks like it's it's more about I don't see
the initial cost. It's more about the plan.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Oh I got it. Oh I got the price bucks.
And then of course you've got to subscribe to something.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Right or you get one hundred Oh just it's a
bonus one hundred and fifty minutes of free monthly recordings.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
So there's a free there is a free plan that
gives you some some stuff monthly transcriptions, languages, event transcribing.
But then ten bucks a month gets you something. Then
there's a fifteen unlimited use.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, fifteen bucks a month unlimited.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, that's their highest plan. That's not bad, not bad, right,
So it's not a huge commitment to try. I do
wish it looked different, right, because people are going to go,
what's that, Well, it's my AI friend.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It's in case you fall down and you press this.
What it looks like to me?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Oh, so it's kind of cool. There's a button that
you can push to start and stop it, so it's
not like it's contstantly running, right.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, I guess that's what the.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Best I think. I think it's recording all the time.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Because then you need something else to remind you to
hit the button to record.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Right, Yeah, I got to do more research on it.
I literally just saw it and I was like, ooh,
I'm trying not to be as impulsive.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You know, well, you're doing a good job.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
The first up is admitting you have a problem. So
you doing a good job.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
JP. And as I've done for the last I don't know,
twenty five years, I'll let JB get one, see if
he likes it, and then if.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
He likes it, I'll get one the guinea pig.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yes, absolutely, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Though interesting concept, right.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, yeah, I don't Yeah, it's not very attractive, that's yeah.
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
You can get transcriptions of conversations. That alone is pretty cool,
right yep. But trying to figure out reminders and tasks
that's what got my attention.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Right, that's pretty cool. And it's a hunder bucks right now,
at least that's the offer I got. I don't know
about you guys.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
That was your mystery offer.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah, and then you got to subscribe. Of course, they
want you to pay every month. And he said the
max one is what fifteen bucks a month? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
For the that's but it's again, I mean, how many
places am I spending ten to fifteen bucks a month?
Speaker 4 (06:20):
I know, but listen to the here's an example of
how it just it recaps like your date with Jeanette
over lunch. It sounds like you're it sounds like a
great life with this thing. You and Jeanette shared a
meaningful discussion about career accomplishments after a visit to your
favorite cafe. It brought a lighthearted moment with the witty barista,
(06:43):
whose humor and charisma added a delightful sparkle to.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
You need to stop that. I hate that time first life?
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
H that's too great?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
A delightful sparkle.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I mean if the waitresses were a real pain in
the ass, does it say that.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
It'll be Yeah, yeah, I don't. I'm not liking it
so much here in that summary.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Oh well, get one.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It does have it, like you're right, It does have
a little button to turn it on and off.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Right, and if you can wear it under your shirt
then even better? Right?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
How fun though to like what were you calling it
the other day, Tricia logic or something?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Oh? Tricia's dah Tricia logic. There's her way of explaining things.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Yeah, you'd be able to record these moments and you
like read it back, here's what you've said.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Like a way to turn it back on me. Yes, yeah,
in your face.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's kind of like our daughter. She keeps track of
Tricia's santes. That's what it says, says, yeah, really funny.
And then to have those that'd be great. Some of
them are, some of them are pretty good. So what
are you? Where are you at? If you were, are
you likely eighty percent maybe gonna get it? Ninety twenty eighty.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Fifty probably no, probably more like sixty. Yeah, I need
to do some more research. I need to find some
video like this is where those YouTube videos of unboxing
and use yeah handy. I want to see someone going
through the setup and see what their frustrations are or not.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
If there was just a place where you could go
and look that. Yeah, I wonder JB's a gizmo guy,
that's for sure. Going all the way all the way
back to the voice pocket organ. What was that thing
called back in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Out there, that little memo recorder?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yes, yeah, still one of my favorite stories. And I'll
tell it right now. JB had this little thing and
you push a button and you could record a memo
and then it would organize it for you. I did
a lot of things. It was basically the this is
good mart pounds, yeah, before smartphones, and it was the
digital version of having a mini cassette recorder. Right. So,
(08:58):
JB and I are driving out on seventy one going
towards Spicewood, you know that area between b Cave and
spice Wood. We're just driving along. JB. I'm driving. He's
in the passenger seat and he reaches into his pocket,
pulls his organizer out and beepeep. It makes the noise,
and JB speaks into it. He said, mile marker one twelve,
(09:20):
good place to bury a body and then put it away.
That's it. I was like, holy crap.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, I think we had just started working together too
about that, right.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
They're like, oh wow, all right, let me go up.
You need some hop dot com.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty
station one O three point one.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Hey, it would not be Christmas in Austin, Texas without
the Fruitcake song. This song goes back of I don't know,
twenty five thirty years it's JBS tells the story JB
of the how the Fruitcake Song was born. Gather around children,
Uncle JB's storytime, Gather around.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
No.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I had a friend Rusty and uh and he he was.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
He was basically weird Al Yankovic, but not as famous,
true and more talented and more talented, and we did.
We wrote this song in a day. And it's the
only time he ever let me sing a song. But
you would write with him a lot. I would write
parodies with him Ali and never got to sing him.
And you know, it's funny because the song seems kind
(10:35):
of risky, but it's not like we took a little
heat the first time we played it.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
We were ahead of our time in nineteen ninety six. Yeah,
with this being more inclusive, right right. And so it's a.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Song about a gay guy who has a crush on
Santa Claus. And so what's more exciting at any time
of the year than when Santa Claus is coming to visit.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
It's basically it he's super excited that Santa's coming? Are
you ready for it? And doing this for a lot
of years and we always get one person.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Who complaints, who complaints about the fruitcake st Don't be
that person, people, Yeah, don't be that.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Just have a laugh and enjoy the fruitcake sauce.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Oh, it's my favorite time a year. I'd like to
serve a festive cheer. I have so much unfinished business.
I'll be trimming my big tree while Santa slides down
my chim knee because I'm having me a fruitcake for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Total, this will toe over the door. Just bought some
leather from the store. Everything is looking so precious. I'll
be drinking my eggnog while I'm selling my eulog. Yes,
I'm having me a fruitcake for Christmas. My favorite show
tunes on the stairy and I feel that special glow
(11:58):
my lovers come, don't you know, just call me a
ho ho ho. Well, we met up at the mall
and I said that I would call and fix up
the dinners, the scrumptious, the special moments in the years.
Then it's gonna come this year. Yes, I'm having me
a fruitcake for Christmas.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Oh, I'm having me a fruitcake for Christmas. Jolly Saint
Nick Little Dickens.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Okay, Oh, I can't believe that song's approaching thirty years old.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's a classic, it is. It's a classic. Man, how
many times did you have to take the sing to
get it? When you sing that uput? Do you do that?
TM Centry in Dallas? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
What's funny is like one day a week we had
access to their jingle singers. Those are all professional singers
in the background doing the background stuff. Like you can
just they can listen to it for a second. They're like, like,
you know, professionals, they know the key, they all know
how to harmonize. They just jump in and then there's
my goofy.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Oh's and the like.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
It was recorded in the studio like where you score films.
Oh wow, Like they could put a whole orchestra in there.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
There. You made me think JB of a documentary that
was about the musicians that play in the studio, musicians
that played in pretty much every hit you ever heard
from the sixties and seventies. It's I think it's called
It's the Something Crew. I want to say the Cutting Crew.
But that was a band in the eighties, right right.
There was a and it's really good in your Arms tonight. Yes,
(13:44):
But there was this great documentary about this these incredible musicians.
I mean they did. If you listen to music at
all the sixties and seventies on recorded like on vinyl,
it was the same musicians playing in the background for
all of those bands. And I cannot remember the name
of it to save my life. But if you want
(14:05):
something great to watch over the holiday season, it's incredible.
They're no names, no one knows who they are, you
know what I mean. And there was one woman amongst
all of them, and she's the coolest one of them all.
I think she's a bass player. I can't remember, but
I'll find the name of that, okay, and let you
guys know.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
That's like they you know, I don't remember how many
songs he played on. But Billy Preston, they would describe
him as the fifth Beatle.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
You might remember him from that Nothing from Nothing Leaves
Nothing from the seventies. That was Billy Preston had his
own hit, but he wrote he worked with the Beatles
all the time. And there's a lot of people that
just didn't get paid what they should have gotten.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Paid to all right, they made bad deals. Yeah, Well,
we're gonna play the Fruitcake song again tomorrow, probably a
little bit earlier in the show, so make sure that
you're here for it. Also, give us a follow on
in Instagram and on TikTok. It is at JB SANDYATX
one O three one Austin dot com. Hey at Sandy.
(15:08):
Can you believe it? The holidays are upon us. Christmas
and New Year's in Texas mean family and friends, and
it means enjoying life with those you care about. As
we close out twenty twenty five, I think of all
the people who help make my life a bit easier.
My friend Scott and Stacey Feller and the team at
Kangaroof do that for me and for many families across
(15:28):
Central Texas. Kangaroof handles all my roofing needs. When you
work with Kingaroof, you can always count on great service,
fair pricing, and peace of mind, quality honest work. Their
teams will come to your house, inspect the roof and
tell you exactly what you do and don't need. If
your roof needs repair, they'll tell you if you're in
good shape. They'll tell you that too. Might sound a
(15:51):
little old fashioned, it might sound like the Texas way.
Whatever you call it. Kangaroof does it the right way.
So the next time you think about your roof, call
my friends Scott and Stacey Feller at kanar Roof. Find
them online at calkingaroof dot com. You'll be glad you did. Hey,
I found the name of that documentary that I was
talking about just a little bit ago about the studio
(16:12):
musicians that played on just everything you heard in the
nineteen sixties and nineteen seventies, and chances are you listening
to any music from them. It was the same group
of studio musicians and the name of the documentary is
called The Wrecking Crew. It is really really, really really
interesting and you'll see some people in there and go holy,
(16:34):
Like Glenn Campbell was part of the Wrecking really part
of the Wrecking Crew before her guitar player, they say,
one of the best, right. There was also another I
think Rick Springfield was also part of that crew of
musicians that played on everything in the late sixties in
the early seventies. And it's a documentary that one of
(16:55):
the guys that was in the Wrecking Crew, his son
made the documentary. And really they're kind of the unsung
heroes of a lot of people's you know the soundtrack
of their life. They didn't. They don't know who these
people are, but they're really really cool. So check that out.
You know, this time of year a lot of people
take in a lot of movies and stuff. That's a really,
(17:16):
really good one, The Wrecking Crew. And we're super excited
too about a show that's coming back, season two of
The Pit. JBI, did you watch The Pit?
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I haven't watched The Pit.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
No, you know what's about.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
It's a hospital series, right, dude.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
It's one of the best shows I've ever watched. You'll
love it. You'll love it. If you can't pay attention,
you'll love it.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
January eighth.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I have to watch things twiceually.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Season two starts January eighth. That stars Noah Wiley. And
I promise you, JB, I know which doctor you're gonna
fall in love with because I did. Yep. There's this
nerdy doctor and she's just I love her. JB will
like her too, Yes, JB will like her too. Doctor
(18:04):
what's her name? King, Doctor King, Doctor King, mel King.
So anyway, those are a couple of good watches. Again,
if you haven't watched The Pin, I believe it's on HBO. Max,
is that right, Trishan correct, and then find the wrecking
crew somewhere wherever you, wherever you rant in your movies,
where you stream your movies, It'll be there for you.
Let's talk a little bit about that question for you guys.
(18:25):
If somebody lets you know that as a Christmas gift
this year, a donation was made in your name? No true, Sorry,
go ahead, No, you just answered my question. You're not happy.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
I I mean, I feel like people are going to
be like, she's spoiled. If somebody is like, I have
a gift for you and then they hand me a
card that says a donation has been made in your
name to.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Whatever, right, Saint Jude whatever I mean.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I'm not mad. I'm glad Saint Jude got some money.
I didn't really get a gift, did I.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
That's so funny. My sister got a brick with our
name on it on Town Lake. I've never found it.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I didn't know they did They did that. They did it.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
They did it when they were raising some money for
trail support, and yeah, it was like it was like
a brick. They were selling bricks. It's kind of a
common thing to do and it supposedly has like me
and Aaron and Raleigh, our daughter, and I could never
find it.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
It could be anywhere out there.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yeah, it's supposed to be you know that corner. I
forget what they call that corner down where the ducks
are always hanging out where where Barton Springs hits the lake.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Somewhere around there. I cannot find it. Couldn't find the ducks.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
The ducks.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
That is a duck hangout. That's where you go feed
the ducks. That's why they hang out there a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Well, I don't know the hike and bike trail that well.
I think I've probably been on it a dozen times
in my life.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Really.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yeah, see all the all the walk in your doing.
It'd be worse to drive into town just to walk.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
The kind of running now thirty thirty five minutes.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
You guys walked the same trail every day, right, Yeah?
Make it old. You want to go a little bit,
you don't want to go somewhere else, Well yeah, sort of.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
But I it's there's a lot of comfort in knowing
the trail.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
You know what I mean, Like because you know exactly
how much farther you have to go.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yes, yeah, exactly so, and I started I started having
running a little bit JB on the trail, you know,
running than walking, running than walking. I did the whole
My goal on that trail, it's it's uh, what is it?
Four and a half miles tress and my goal it's
not a great. My goal was to do it in
less than an hour, which I did, and which is
(20:46):
running and walking. So but I put on my list
for Santa Claus a pair of Hoka running shoes, and
I hope that's the only thing I want for Christmas,
because I won't spend one hundred and fifty bucks on
my self for.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
A pair of the only thing you want for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I think they're closer to two hundred, are they?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It depends on the different styles.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah, you have to pick like the style that you want,
and you know what I mean, there's a bunch of
different styles.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I know. So do I need to tell Santa that?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah? Santa has to know which one.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Sanna doesn't know.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Santa doesn't know which. Have you told Santa yet?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
What stuff? I think I told Santa. I was on
the trail once and there was someone running by me,
and it goes that's the exact pair that I want.
I guess Santa didn't hear.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Maybe Santa didn't take a memory picture of it, you
know what I mean. Maybe Santa doesn't have an identic memory.
Maybe Santa is more of a link kind of Santa.
I need SA to order link kind of Santa. Oh,
all right, didn't I'm just trying to help Santa.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Okay, all right, Jabi, you have you have a pair
of those running shoes hookahs.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
They're great. Are they worth the money? Seriously? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
They especially especially like older runner you know what I mean,
Like when you're young, you're joints all work as they should,
but they kind of get you angled forward and so
you don't have as much impact. It kind of rolls
through the heel a little bit. I'm not doing it justice, but.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Well, I know that they were a game changer for
our daughter. Her grandmother got her a pair of hookahs
and she was like, it's a huge game, right compared
to the shoes that she had.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
So anyway, I think, go see Ryan at the loop
running the loop down by the power plant.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Then I can just go right over the trail. Exactly
what were you going to ask?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
I was gonna ask jim what is his opinion of
a donation has been made in your name as a gift.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Well, I told you I got a brick and I
never found it, so it was worseless.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I feel like that answers the question.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I like it. Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest. If
that were my only gift, I would be a little
sad in my heart right. But if there were other gifts,
it would be nice to know that there was a
brick with my name on it somewhere else somewhere. But
I can't find comforting now. I would go looking for
(23:14):
that brick and take a photo with my breck.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Oh, it's like a little Where's Baldo game.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
For you, Jimmy, Let's go find your brick.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Come on, I know I've looked many times. I used
the trail a lot. I didn't. I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
It's down by you said by the thing.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I think she probably coop on it.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
My sister forged the document about it.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
And she didn't. Which sister did that? So let me guess.
Let me guess your between your sisters, which one would
do that. I have three. There's there's Stephanie, Nicki and
Chris Chris, thank you. I'm gonna say it was your
younger sister, Nikki, it was. Yeah. She's been a runner forever.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Yeah yeah, yeah and she yeah, she uses the trailer lot.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
That's cool. Let's go find it, little adventure Boney style is.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
There somewhere, or we could ask our listeners to find it.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
If they find it, take a photo and send.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
It to us, get a wonderful prize.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah. And now I'm on a
mission to find JB. I'm gonna find it for him,
are you. Yeah, I'm gonna go look for it and see.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
If I mean this was probably twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Oh, I don't look for old bricks. That's more coming up.
One O three one, Austin dot com
The Fruitcake song coming up in less than fifteen minutes,
so stick around. It's a big song about a guy
in love. Was Santa that JB saying thirty years ago,
and it's an Austin tradition.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It's a classic. It's one of my favorites.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yeah, it's right up there with you know, White Christmas
and Rudolph and Little drum Little Drummer Boy, all those songs.
It's right up there. So we've got that coming up
in just a little bit. But little quick backstory. JB
has a tendency to buy anything that's advertised to him
in his Instagram feed, and we often feature those things.
(00:36):
We call him JB's insta got me. But this time
JB had enough sense to bounce it off of Tricia
and I before he makes the purchase. That's a good call.
And let me guess it's a tech thing because JB
has always been on the cutting edge of the latest
and greatest tech stuff that's out there. He's not afraid
(00:58):
to take a chance at it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I've always been that way, I think.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, for as long as I've known JB for thirty
plus years, he always had cool gizmos. Yeah, gizmos. He
was the first guy knew to have a BlackBerry. Yeah,
it was you know Tom Pilot before that with the
little antenna that flipped up. Remember that I.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Had an m P three player before the before Apple
made one.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Did you have the Dell jukebox? I had one.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah, I did have to have one way before that.
It was called the Rio.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I remember that.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Yeah, I was all excited. It held eight songs.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
It was a real pain in the butt to get
the songs on it.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Right, Yeah, yeah, yeah, like those songs you loaded on it.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
So what's this one? All right?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
You may need to pull up the website to see
what I'm talking about. So it's it's Fieldy, you know,
like f I E L D Y Fieldy dot AI.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
It is, Okay, I.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Just saw it earlier this morning, so I haven't done
a lot of research on it now. It's it's it's
basically a necklace, an ai necklace that you wear all
the time, and it records all that doesn't record, sorry,
doesn't record. It listens to all your conversations and tries
to organize your life.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
It transfers them into reminders and.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Planet Earth that needs this. It's JB. Holy I'm gonna
buy one for you.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
But it'll pick up like if you go have coffee
with your friend and and it'll pick up on things like, oh,
your friends said their mom passed. Would you like to
send flowers like what? Or you got? You talked about
getting together before Christmas? Might I suggest a date?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Stuff like that, Jamie, hold on, well, I've got a
mystery discount for my email website. Did you the mystery
disccount for yours? Sandy?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You might need one of these too.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I know.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I am gonna say. They did not do much to
make it look like a piece of jewelry. It's very
I've fallen and I can't get up typing.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
They could have made it better looking.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, they did not shry in and disguise it as
jewelry at all.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
It's like a keyfob around your neck, but it seems important.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Can you wear it under a shirt?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Guessing if you can hear the conversation? Here's some things
some like. Here's some example of some tasks, just telling
you send an email to coworker Monday the seventeenth at
nine am, organize the guest list, venue and prepare your speech.
Meditate for ten minutes, plan a weekend trip, review, your
monthly budget. It's just interesting.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
That is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
How much is one of these?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
It looks like it's it's more about I don't see
the initial cost. It's more about the plan.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Oh I got it. Oh I got the price bucks.
And then of course you've got to subscribe to something.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Right or you get one hundred Oh just it's a
bonus one hundred and fifty minutes of free monthly recordings.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
So there's a free there is a free plan that
gives you some some stuff monthly transcriptions, languages, event transcribing.
But then ten bucks a month gets you something. Then
there's a fifteen unlimited use.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, fifteen bucks a month unlimited.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, that's their highest plan. That's not bad, not bad, right,
So it's not a huge commitment to try. I do
wish it looked different, right, because people are going to go,
what's that, Well, it's my AI friend.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It's in case you fall down and you press this.
What it looks like to me?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Oh, so it's kind of cool. There's a button that
you can push to start and stop it, so it's
not like it's contstantly running, right.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, I guess that's what the.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Best I think. I think it's recording all the time.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Because then you need something else to remind you to
hit the button to record.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Right, Yeah, I got to do more research on it.
I literally just saw it and I was like, ooh,
I'm trying not to be as impulsive.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You know, well, you're doing a good job.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
The first up is admitting you have a problem. So
you doing a good job.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
JP. And as I've done for the last I don't know,
twenty five years, I'll let JB get one, see if
he likes it, and then if.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
He likes it, I'll get one the guinea pig.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yes, absolutely, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Though interesting concept, right.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, yeah, I don't Yeah, it's not very attractive, that's yeah.
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
You can get transcriptions of conversations. That alone is pretty cool,
right yep. But trying to figure out reminders and tasks
that's what got my attention.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Right, that's pretty cool. And it's a hunder bucks right now,
at least that's the offer I got. I don't know
about you guys.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
That was your mystery offer.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah, and then you got to subscribe. Of course, they
want you to pay every month. And he said the
max one is what fifteen bucks a month? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
For the that's but it's again, I mean, how many
places am I spending ten to fifteen bucks a month?
Speaker 4 (06:20):
I know, but listen to the here's an example of
how it just it recaps like your date with Jeanette
over lunch. It sounds like you're it sounds like a
great life with this thing. You and Jeanette shared a
meaningful discussion about career accomplishments after a visit to your
favorite cafe. It brought a lighthearted moment with the witty barista,
(06:43):
whose humor and charisma added a delightful sparkle to.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
You need to stop that. I hate that time first life?
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
H that's too great?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
A delightful sparkle.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I mean if the waitresses were a real pain in
the ass, does it say that.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
It'll be Yeah, yeah, I don't. I'm not liking it
so much here in that summary.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Oh well, get one.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It does have it, like you're right, It does have
a little button to turn it on and off.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Right, and if you can wear it under your shirt
then even better? Right?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
How fun though to like what were you calling it
the other day, Tricia logic or something?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Oh? Tricia's dah Tricia logic. There's her way of explaining things.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Yeah, you'd be able to record these moments and you
like read it back, here's what you've said.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Like a way to turn it back on me. Yes, yeah,
in your face.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's kind of like our daughter. She keeps track of
Tricia's santes. That's what it says, says, yeah, really funny.
And then to have those that'd be great. Some of
them are, some of them are pretty good. So what
are you? Where are you at? If you were, are
you likely eighty percent maybe gonna get it? Ninety twenty eighty.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Fifty probably no, probably more like sixty. Yeah, I need
to do some more research. I need to find some
video like this is where those YouTube videos of unboxing
and use yeah handy. I want to see someone going
through the setup and see what their frustrations are or not.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
If there was just a place where you could go
and look that. Yeah, I wonder JB's a gizmo guy,
that's for sure. Going all the way all the way
back to the voice pocket organ. What was that thing
called back in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Out there, that little memo recorder?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yes, yeah, still one of my favorite stories. And I'll
tell it right now. JB had this little thing and
you push a button and you could record a memo
and then it would organize it for you. I did
a lot of things. It was basically the this is
good mart pounds, yeah, before smartphones, and it was the
digital version of having a mini cassette recorder. Right. So,
(08:58):
JB and I are driving out on seventy one going
towards Spicewood, you know that area between b Cave and
spice Wood. We're just driving along. JB. I'm driving. He's
in the passenger seat and he reaches into his pocket,
pulls his organizer out and beepeep. It makes the noise,
and JB speaks into it. He said, mile marker one twelve,
(09:20):
good place to bury a body and then put it away.
That's it. I was like, holy crap.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, I think we had just started working together too
about that, right.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
They're like, oh wow, all right, let me go up.
You need some hop dot com.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty
station one O three point one.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Hey, it would not be Christmas in Austin, Texas without
the Fruitcake song. This song goes back of I don't know,
twenty five thirty years it's JBS tells the story JB
of the how the Fruitcake Song was born. Gather around children,
Uncle JB's storytime, Gather around.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
No.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I had a friend Rusty and uh and he he was.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
He was basically weird Al Yankovic, but not as famous,
true and more talented and more talented, and we did.
We wrote this song in a day. And it's the
only time he ever let me sing a song. But
you would write with him a lot. I would write
parodies with him Ali and never got to sing him.
And you know, it's funny because the song seems kind
(10:35):
of risky, but it's not like we took a little
heat the first time we played it.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
We were ahead of our time in nineteen ninety six. Yeah,
with this being more inclusive, right right. And so it's a.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Song about a gay guy who has a crush on
Santa Claus. And so what's more exciting at any time
of the year than when Santa Claus is coming to visit.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
It's basically it he's super excited that Santa's coming? Are
you ready for it? And doing this for a lot
of years and we always get one person.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Who complaints, who complaints about the fruitcake st Don't be
that person, people, Yeah, don't be that.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Just have a laugh and enjoy the fruitcake sauce.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Oh, it's my favorite time a year. I'd like to
serve a festive cheer. I have so much unfinished business.
I'll be trimming my big tree while Santa slides down
my chim knee because I'm having me a fruitcake for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Total, this will toe over the door. Just bought some
leather from the store. Everything is looking so precious. I'll
be drinking my eggnog while I'm selling my eulog. Yes,
I'm having me a fruitcake for Christmas. My favorite show
tunes on the stairy and I feel that special glow
(11:58):
my lovers come, don't you know, just call me a
ho ho ho. Well, we met up at the mall
and I said that I would call and fix up
the dinners, the scrumptious, the special moments in the years.
Then it's gonna come this year. Yes, I'm having me
a fruitcake for Christmas.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
Oh, I'm having me a fruitcake for Christmas. Jolly Saint
Nick Little Dickens.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Okay, Oh, I can't believe that song's approaching thirty years old.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's a classic, it is. It's a classic. Man, how
many times did you have to take the sing to
get it? When you sing that uput? Do you do that?
TM Centry in Dallas? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
What's funny is like one day a week we had
access to their jingle singers. Those are all professional singers
in the background doing the background stuff. Like you can
just they can listen to it for a second. They're like, like,
you know, professionals, they know the key, they all know
how to harmonize. They just jump in and then there's
my goofy.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Oh's and the like.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
It was recorded in the studio like where you score films.
Oh wow, Like they could put a whole orchestra in there.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
There. You made me think JB of a documentary that
was about the musicians that play in the studio, musicians
that played in pretty much every hit you ever heard
from the sixties and seventies. It's I think it's called
It's the Something Crew. I want to say the Cutting Crew.
But that was a band in the eighties, right right.
There was a and it's really good in your Arms tonight. Yes,
(13:44):
But there was this great documentary about this these incredible musicians.
I mean they did. If you listen to music at
all the sixties and seventies on recorded like on vinyl,
it was the same musicians playing in the background for
all of those bands. And I cannot remember the name
of it to save my life. But if you want
(14:05):
something great to watch over the holiday season, it's incredible.
They're no names, no one knows who they are, you
know what I mean. And there was one woman amongst
all of them, and she's the coolest one of them all.
I think she's a bass player. I can't remember, but
I'll find the name of that, okay, and let you
guys know.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
That's like they you know, I don't remember how many
songs he played on. But Billy Preston, they would describe
him as the fifth Beatle.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
You might remember him from that Nothing from Nothing Leaves
Nothing from the seventies. That was Billy Preston had his
own hit, but he wrote he worked with the Beatles
all the time. And there's a lot of people that
just didn't get paid what they should have gotten.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Paid to all right, they made bad deals. Yeah, Well,
we're gonna play the Fruitcake song again tomorrow, probably a
little bit earlier in the show, so make sure that
you're here for it. Also, give us a follow on
in Instagram and on TikTok. It is at JB SANDYATX
one O three one Austin dot com. Hey at Sandy.
(15:08):
Can you believe it? The holidays are upon us. Christmas
and New Year's in Texas mean family and friends, and
it means enjoying life with those you care about. As
we close out twenty twenty five, I think of all
the people who help make my life a bit easier.
My friend Scott and Stacey Feller and the team at
Kangaroof do that for me and for many families across
(15:28):
Central Texas. Kangaroof handles all my roofing needs. When you
work with Kingaroof, you can always count on great service,
fair pricing, and peace of mind, quality honest work. Their
teams will come to your house, inspect the roof and
tell you exactly what you do and don't need. If
your roof needs repair, they'll tell you if you're in
good shape. They'll tell you that too. Might sound a
(15:51):
little old fashioned, it might sound like the Texas way.
Whatever you call it. Kangaroof does it the right way.
So the next time you think about your roof, call
my friends Scott and Stacey Feller at kanar Roof. Find
them online at calkingaroof dot com. You'll be glad you did. Hey,
I found the name of that documentary that I was
talking about just a little bit ago about the studio
(16:12):
musicians that played on just everything you heard in the
nineteen sixties and nineteen seventies, and chances are you listening
to any music from them. It was the same group
of studio musicians and the name of the documentary is
called The Wrecking Crew. It is really really, really really
interesting and you'll see some people in there and go holy,
(16:34):
Like Glenn Campbell was part of the Wrecking really part
of the Wrecking Crew before her guitar player, they say,
one of the best, right. There was also another I
think Rick Springfield was also part of that crew of
musicians that played on everything in the late sixties in
the early seventies. And it's a documentary that one of
(16:55):
the guys that was in the Wrecking Crew, his son
made the documentary. And really they're kind of the unsung
heroes of a lot of people's you know the soundtrack
of their life. They didn't. They don't know who these
people are, but they're really really cool. So check that out.
You know, this time of year a lot of people
take in a lot of movies and stuff. That's a really,
(17:16):
really good one, The Wrecking Crew. And we're super excited
too about a show that's coming back, season two of
The Pit. JBI, did you watch The Pit?
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I haven't watched The Pit.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
No, you know what's about.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
It's a hospital series, right, dude.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
It's one of the best shows I've ever watched. You'll
love it. You'll love it. If you can't pay attention,
you'll love it.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
January eighth.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I have to watch things twiceually.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Season two starts January eighth. That stars Noah Wiley. And
I promise you, JB, I know which doctor you're gonna
fall in love with because I did. Yep. There's this
nerdy doctor and she's just I love her. JB will
like her too, Yes, JB will like her too. Doctor
(18:04):
what's her name? King, Doctor King, Doctor King, mel King.
So anyway, those are a couple of good watches. Again,
if you haven't watched The Pin, I believe it's on HBO. Max,
is that right, Trishan correct, and then find the wrecking
crew somewhere wherever you, wherever you rant in your movies,
where you stream your movies, It'll be there for you.
Let's talk a little bit about that question for you guys.
(18:25):
If somebody lets you know that as a Christmas gift
this year, a donation was made in your name? No true, Sorry,
go ahead, No, you just answered my question. You're not happy.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
I I mean, I feel like people are going to
be like, she's spoiled. If somebody is like, I have
a gift for you and then they hand me a
card that says a donation has been made in your
name to.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Whatever, right, Saint Jude whatever I mean.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I'm not mad. I'm glad Saint Jude got some money.
I didn't really get a gift, did I.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
That's so funny. My sister got a brick with our
name on it on Town Lake. I've never found it.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I didn't know they did They did that. They did it.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
They did it when they were raising some money for
trail support, and yeah, it was like it was like
a brick. They were selling bricks. It's kind of a
common thing to do and it supposedly has like me
and Aaron and Raleigh, our daughter, and I could never
find it.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
It could be anywhere out there.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yeah, it's supposed to be you know that corner. I
forget what they call that corner down where the ducks
are always hanging out where where Barton Springs hits the lake.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Oh yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Somewhere around there. I cannot find it. Couldn't find the ducks.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
The ducks.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
That is a duck hangout. That's where you go feed
the ducks. That's why they hang out there a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Well, I don't know the hike and bike trail that well.
I think I've probably been on it a dozen times
in my life.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Really.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Yeah, see all the all the walk in your doing.
It'd be worse to drive into town just to walk.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
The kind of running now thirty thirty five minutes.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
You guys walked the same trail every day, right, Yeah?
Make it old. You want to go a little bit,
you don't want to go somewhere else, Well yeah, sort of.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
But I it's there's a lot of comfort in knowing
the trail.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
You know what I mean, Like because you know exactly
how much farther you have to go.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yes, yeah, exactly so, and I started I started having
running a little bit JB on the trail, you know,
running than walking, running than walking. I did the whole
My goal on that trail, it's it's uh, what is it?
Four and a half miles tress and my goal it's
not a great. My goal was to do it in
less than an hour, which I did, and which is
(20:46):
running and walking. So but I put on my list
for Santa Claus a pair of Hoka running shoes, and
I hope that's the only thing I want for Christmas,
because I won't spend one hundred and fifty bucks on
my self for.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
A pair of the only thing you want for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I think they're closer to two hundred, are they?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It depends on the different styles.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
Yeah, you have to pick like the style that you want,
and you know what I mean, there's a bunch of
different styles.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
I know. So do I need to tell Santa that?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Yeah? Santa has to know which one.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Sanna doesn't know.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Santa doesn't know which. Have you told Santa yet?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
What stuff? I think I told Santa. I was on
the trail once and there was someone running by me,
and it goes that's the exact pair that I want.
I guess Santa didn't hear.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Maybe Santa didn't take a memory picture of it, you
know what I mean. Maybe Santa doesn't have an identic memory.
Maybe Santa is more of a link kind of Santa.
I need SA to order link kind of Santa. Oh,
all right, didn't I'm just trying to help Santa.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Okay, all right, Jabi, you have you have a pair
of those running shoes hookahs.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I did it.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
They're great. Are they worth the money? Seriously? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
They especially especially like older runner you know what I mean,
Like when you're young, you're joints all work as they should,
but they kind of get you angled forward and so
you don't have as much impact. It kind of rolls
through the heel a little bit. I'm not doing it justice, but.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Well, I know that they were a game changer for
our daughter. Her grandmother got her a pair of hookahs
and she was like, it's a huge game, right compared
to the shoes that she had.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
So anyway, I think, go see Ryan at the loop
running the loop down by the power plant.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Then I can just go right over the trail. Exactly
what were you going to ask?
Speaker 4 (22:40):
I was gonna ask jim what is his opinion of
a donation has been made in your name as a gift.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Well, I told you I got a brick and I
never found it, so it was worseless.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I feel like that answers the question.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I like it. Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest. If
that were my only gift, I would be a little
sad in my heart right. But if there were other gifts,
it would be nice to know that there was a
brick with my name on it somewhere else somewhere. But
I can't find comforting now. I would go looking for
(23:14):
that brick and take a photo with my breck.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Oh, it's like a little Where's Baldo game.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
For you, Jimmy, Let's go find your brick.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Come on, I know I've looked many times. I used
the trail a lot. I didn't. I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
It's down by you said by the thing.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
I think she probably coop on it.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
My sister forged the document about it.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
And she didn't. Which sister did that? So let me guess.
Let me guess your between your sisters, which one would
do that. I have three. There's there's Stephanie, Nicki and
Chris Chris, thank you. I'm gonna say it was your
younger sister, Nikki, it was. Yeah. She's been a runner forever.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Yeah yeah, yeah and she yeah, she uses the trailer lot.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
That's cool. Let's go find it, little adventure Boney style is.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
There somewhere, or we could ask our listeners to find it.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
If they find it, take a photo and send.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
It to us, get a wonderful prize.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah. And now I'm on a
mission to find JB. I'm gonna find it for him,
are you. Yeah, I'm gonna go look for it and see.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
If I mean this was probably twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Oh, I don't look for old bricks. That's more coming up.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
