Mexican bigfoot with a somebro and some bro and a
serape on.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Tristia loves a bigfoot. And it's the little things in
life that you have to stay excited for. And one
of the things that I get excited about when that
day happens. And today is the day. I want everyone
to know. Today is new notebook day. You know that
feeling when you filled up your old notebook.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
And it's funny you mentioned that I just stuck a
new notebook in my bag for this chair.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Yeah, good, good, good.
Speaker 6 (00:49):
So your handwriting will be nicer and neaterter at the
beginning of the notebook.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Yep, And I did just like in the front of
I get.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
These are on sale right now at HGB JB The
HGB Composition Notebook. I believe it's how many pages, two hundred,
one hundred sheets of paper and for fifty.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Cents fifty cents. Tell them how you got that.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Note sare Frisha got it for me, she's such a
big spender. Got him three wow, three of.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
Them, a red one, a blue one, and a black one.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
And then tell them how much time you spent trying
decide which color notebook you were going to start the
week off with.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
It took me a minute to the side that you want.
I wanted to start with. I chose blue to start
out with. So it is funny though. On the inside
cover of the composition notebook, it's got your class schedule
where you can write your class schedule.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Yeah into it?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Did you write all your contact information in it? In
case it is lost?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I did write my name, and I wear it, says homeroom.
I put our address. I know, but hey, it's new
notebook day. That's exciting. You got to get excited about something,
So then I hang on to my like JB. When
you put the new notebook in, how long do you
keep the old notebook around? Do you keep it forever?
A couple of days?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Well, I was going on our road trip. I pulled
it out instead of it aside, Oh okay, I slid
the new one in. Yeah, there were just a couple
pages left in the old one, and I just didn't
want to run out mid trip. You're fancy with yours, right,
moleskins or something? It's not a moleskin this one, I
don't It was in a conference bag or something like that.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Oh, like a swag item.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah, okay, so that was a freebie.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
So let's talk about this.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I started watching it and then I bailed out because
I got super bored. But Tricia went all the way
with the Billy Joel documentary, which is out on HBO
or Max or whatever the hell it is right now,
and she was watching it, and I walked through to
her room and go, oh, dude, I was watching it
so boring, And then you're like, what happened?
Speaker 6 (02:43):
I loved it. It is one of the best documentaries
I watched in a while. And I didn't watch it
because I'm just a freaking huge Billy Joel fan. I
don't know what made me watch it. I'm so glad
I did. It's two episodes each or two and a
half hours, and it starts from the very beginning and
goes to present day.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
So good.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oh that's the part, the very beginning part. I didn't
really care about his early bands in Hicksville on Long Island.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, he was gonna be in called the Hassles. That
was it.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
But it's just saying how he got started, what influenced him.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
His first wife. I never knew this, and I've known
about Billy Joel forever.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
His first wife ended up being his manager, and there
would be no Billy Joel like we know him today
if she had not done what she had done. Really yes,
and she ended up at first I was on and
she ended up being a total badass. And they have
a bunch of big time celebrities, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen,
Popin Steing. I mean, it is a really good documentary
(03:45):
and you forget you love all the Billy Joel songs.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
So was go ahead, JB. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
There's something weird about doing the biopic or documentary when
they're still alive, Yeah, and still have their facility. Because
the story isn't over right. Billy Joel could pull an O. J. Simpson,
he could pull a Caitlyn Jenner yea, Like the story
is not over no, Like it's just it's weird to me,
(04:13):
Like Queen Okay, Freddie Mercury's gone. Yeah, that's good Elton
Elton John still being alive and well, I thought that
was very strange.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
His documentary ends with him saying, now I'm trying to
figure out what I'm gonna do next. He had shut
it down, I don't know, back in like two thousand
and eight, two thousand and nine and wrote the song
the last words I think are something literally meaning, these
are the last words I'm writing. For a while, he
got very disillusioned with it, and then Hurricane Sandy hit
in twenty twelve and he was asked to do a
(04:45):
benefit concert and that is what brought him back to
the stage, and that's what led to him doing his
tenure run at Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Did they address that famous meltdown on stage where he
flipped the piano.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
He was in Russia when he did that, and the
version of it that he gave was that he was
a performer who went to Russia when other performers wouldn't,
that the Russian fans were just so hyped up and
so excited, and something just came over him and he
just flipped the piano during the during a song or
at the end of the song and the crowd went wild, like,
(05:20):
look at this freaking rich American. He's so rich he
can flip these pianos. It was not presented in a
him having a meltdown kind of way. It was like
him sucked up in the the you know, intensity of
the performance.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Did they do That's why did they discuss him getting
ripped off by his Yeah manager and stealing all his.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Money manager who was his ex brother in law. And
that happened.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
They discovered that when he was with Christy Brinkley when
they went to like upgrade their house or something, and
they're like, you don't have enough money to upgrade your house,
And at this point he was beyond rich. Yeah, they
ended up not pursuing him in another tour. He just
was like, well, I guess I have to write some
more songs and go on tour. And the album that
(06:06):
he put out for that tour, I can't remember which
one it was at this point was the best one
he's ever had, and he made more money than he'd
ever had and toured for longer than he'd ever had.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, if you guys talk about Russian crowds, you talk
about they were fired up for Billy Julian.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
You're seeing the video of Metallica when they played in Russia.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Holy crop. Just the thought of that is fright. A
million people really.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
At the Metallica show in Russia, and those Russians liked
to rock.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Yeah, they are all about it.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
He got a lot of pent up of anger.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
They deal with it.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
And when you watch it you can see the the
helicopters flying around.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
I love to maintain crowd control.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Really so yeah, maybe more shows how to go to Russia.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
I don't know, I don't know. It's definitely worth watching.
I suggest you try again, Sandy again.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
That's the Billy Joel. It's on HBO.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Max with HBO Max Joel and so it goes is
the name?
Speaker 5 (07:02):
All right?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Coming up on the show, Jab and his wife have
taken a trip down memory lane. Apparently they're very disappointed
in what they found. Also, Texans in their sex life.
Things look good for Texans, by the way, And the
story We Love is coming up next. It's not a
great story. Some kind of bad news. Something that happened
right there at the three sixty.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Bridge, yep, at the Pennybacker Bridge Saturday night, Lake Austin.
Two swimmers in distress didn't end well for one of them.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Details coming up on Austin's eighty station one O three
point one and streaming on iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
It's as Austin as it gets.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty
station one O three point one.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Gotta be careful when you're swimming in Lake Austin, especially
around the three sixty bridge. Not a great story coming
up in just a moment that happened on Saturday night.
That happens in the story We Love Javy. Let me
ask you something. Do you ever like just try to
do something nice for your wife and they push back
on you, Like, let me give you an example.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I don't know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
So here's what I mean. So yesterday, mid morning, I'm
driving home. I called Tricia, and I know Tricia has
been feeling good. She's got this sinus infection because of allergies,
and she's had a cough and all that. And I
also knew that she was out of cough drops, and
so I'm like, you want me to stop and get
you some cough drops? And she's like, well, I mean,
(08:25):
you don't have to stop just for me, but if
you want, you know, And I was like, no, no,
if you need, I'd like to get I'd like to
do something nice for you. No, don't do that. Don't
do that, don't stop. You don't have to do that.
I'm like, finally, Jibby, I'm like, oh my god, Tricia,
just let me do something nice for you.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Please. This doesn't happen all the time.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
I was trying to be nice to you and not
make you have to go out of your way to
the Walgreens to give me some cough drops.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I will trying to be nice back, but.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Sometimes it's okay to let people do nice things for you.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Well, I mean, okay, thank you.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
I don't know what you're deal is that.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
I didn't want you to make a special trip just
for me. I was trying to be considerate.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Yeah, I don't know. Does your wife ever do that? JB?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
It's funny there is kind of similar, but she she
has kind of accepted that my love language is is
doing things and to the cars and stuff. Yeah, like
she hasn't pumped gas in probably a decade really, And
I know there was a moment where, you know, like
(09:31):
my daughter. He's now twenty three. She got all upset
because she came by and I just took her car
and I just like to drive it and check it
out and I'll go gas it up and I'll run
it through the car wash. And she was waiting on me.
But then you know, she was upset that I just
took it without asking her. And then my wife was
(09:52):
trying to explain to my daughter, like, you got to
just let him do it. This is his thing, that's right,
it's this is his love life language is taking care
of the car and fixing things up. And you know,
I'll go through it and throw trash out, and a
couple of times I've thrown away things like oh I
needed that receipt.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I was going to return something.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Oh right, If it's that important, it wouldn't have been
on the floor of your stories.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
We Love Li from the Lesserhold Studio.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Here's Tricia Delicia.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Not a great story.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
But one person drowned and another person was rescued Saturday
evening after EMS crews responded to reports of two swimmers
in distress near the Pennybacker Bridge. One swimmer was rescued
Saturday evening and treated and then according to social media
posts from the Austin Fire Department, the other remained missing
and it wasn't until around eleven am Sunday morning that
(10:46):
a recovery team located and retrieved the missing swimmer's body.
So the rescue effort started Saturday night around six or
the plaza of the lake boat ramp, but they have
not identified the deceased.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Why are they still daylight? Yeah? Why are they swimming
around the three sixty bridge?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I thought that was oh that's now a hangout. Yeah,
a few years ago they made that all and no
wake zone. Oh so the bend up river, you know,
before you get to all the boat houses on Rivercrest, right,
so it's it's kind of there, and then it goes
about halfway past Austin Country Club golf course is all
(11:26):
no wake. So a lot a lot of people that
used to go into the coves, the little shallow coves
and hang out, you know, people that like to tie
up and hang out. They they've now started going more
out in the open because that's a no wake area.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
So it's no wake all the way across.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, it's no wake all the way across.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Yeah, yeah, So yeah, it's been particular by the bridge,
which is a good thing because of the ramp there,
but the boy, they've made it big. But people hang
out there and swim and there's always a lot of alcohol.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
And yeah, isn't that still pretty danger even though it's
no wake.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I don't know, boats are mean, boats are barely moving
through there. Yeah, it's just it's just become the hangout.
It's like it's like there's a lot of accidental accidents
in Devil's Cove just because it's hangout on Lake Travis.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Right, it's just sheer numbers right right, right, you know.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I mean drownings can happen anywhere on the lake, but
just the fact that if it's a concentrated area like that.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Man, Yeah, did they say the ages here or anything?
Speaker 6 (12:28):
No, no, no, no identity is nothing like that anything
like that has come out.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Yet. You gotta be so cared. There's so many people
in JB.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I mean, we lived on Lake Travis for fifteen years
and you're on Lake Austin all the time. There are
so many people that go out onto the lake and
have no idea what's going on. Like, yeah, they have
no clue how to behave and they'll rent a.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
Boat to anybody, anybody, anybody care.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
The boat rental industry has gotten out of control. And yeah,
people don't know what they're doing. A lot of first
time boat owners with COVID. Yeah now now they have
a few years experience under their belt, but a lot
of first time boat owners when COVID hit and they
were wanting to do stuff outdoors. It was I saw,
(13:15):
especially that first year. I saw some of the craziest stuff.
And I'm talking about people in two, three, four hundred
thousand dollars boats, no clue what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Wow, that's yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
And you know, my daughter's a wake surf coach and
she'd go on people's boats on a four hundred thousand
dollars boat they just got and they don't have a
clue how to use it.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Wow. Why do you start out with something the starter boat?
Doesn't go all in on.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
This new money Austin I they want, they want the
bragging rights to have the most expensive one.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
And she's silly, my expense all those people who drunk,
no life jackets in the water, No life jackets.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Yeah, yeah, it's funny you mentioned that I just bought
my daughter's doing more charters I bought a bunch of
and I know you probably had a bunch of them
when you lived on the lake, those little floaty foam
cushions that you just sit on, you just sit and float.
I just bought a bunch of those. I'm like, hey,
you know, if you're doing a charter and people just
want to just toss them all one of these, that's
(14:16):
a good call. Yeah, they're really inexpensive. And you know,
and there's the hydrilla is back too, and I mean
in big force. It started like a month ago there
was none and now it's everywhere. I can barely get
in and out of my boat, slip or all the
Asian carp gone, I guess, so maybe they've aged out.
(14:40):
I thought they were supposed to live a lot longer
than that, because yeah, if you're new to Austin, the
hydrilla or they call it duck weed, it just it
grows really fast. And that lake's pretty shallow, so a
lot of the shoreline is only two three feet and
it grows up to the sun and you could get
tangled up in that pretty easily. Yeah, not even know it.
(15:03):
And it's it's just came on big time. And I
don't know. Maybe maybe now that Lake Travis is near
full again, they start releasing. Maybe it'll flush some stuff out,
but it's it's pretty gnarly.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
And they brought those carbon to eat the hydralla down,
but it went to the opposite extreme and ate everything right.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Right, yeah, and it turned the muddy, yeah, muddy and gross.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I read it was and it was getting back to normal,
except we now have some zebra muscles.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Yeah. Just an article about that too. I read a
terrifying story.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
This has nothing to do with Austin, but this really
experienced couple scuba diving experienced couple went to the Great
Barrier Reef in Australia. This happened years ago, this is
not recent. And they went out with a group, a
dive group, and got left.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Oh yeah, I've heard this.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Got well, everyone came back. I think I heard his
stories of that. Yeah, they all come back and they
didn't do a headcount, right, yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
And they were gone and they died.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
The couple died, yes, yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
They did. You imagine you go back to your dive
vote and it's not there.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Nope.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
It's one of my greatest fears is being stranded in
the middle of the ocean at night.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I feel like if I was going to scuba dive,
I would want to be tethered to the high assumption.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
To the boat man, that's just terrifying.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Sounds like a careless tour exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Someone didn't count all the divers before they left, and
she imagine getting back there and realizing you forgot to Oh.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
But then how did they not realize and go back out?
I feel like I've heard a few stories like that,
not I think one of them. Some people actually were rescued,
but they sued for a crap ton of money after that.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Coming up next, JB and his wife Aaron kind of
took a trip down memory lane and would disappointing be
the right word? Yeah, it just wasn't what we expected. Okay,
all right, stay with us. It's coming up on Austin's
Dady station one O three point one. Hey, it's j
BE in Sandy for our friends at Koala Cooling, Scott
(17:03):

folks who bring you Koala Cooling and Plumbing? Do you
ever hear those same JB? The dog days of summer?
Do you know what it actually means. It means you
can't go outside. You want to stay in your air
condition home. How I interpret that true? But it actually
has history with astrology, the ancient Greeks and the Dog
(17:26):
Star constellation. Hey, that's great, great to know. But right
here on planet Texas, I just know it's hot, right.

we have hit triple digits in September. That's a long stretch.
You want to get your home checked out and koualified.

hottest days of the year. So go ahead and get
the team from Koala Cooling to come out and take

Speaker 2 (01:38):
I did write my name, and I wear it, says homeroom.
I put our address. I know, but hey, it's new
notebook day. That's exciting. You got to get excited about something,
So then I hang on to my like JB. When
you put the new notebook in, how long do you
keep the old notebook around? Do you keep it forever?
A couple of days?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Well, I was going on our road trip. I pulled
it out instead of it aside, Oh okay, I slid
the new one in. Yeah, there were just a couple
pages left in the old one, and I just didn't
want to run out mid trip. You're fancy with yours, right,
moleskins or something? It's not a moleskin this one, I
don't It was in a conference bag or something like that.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Oh, like a swag item.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yeah, okay, so that was a freebie.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
So let's talk about this.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I started watching it and then I bailed out because
I got super bored. But Tricia went all the way
with the Billy Joel documentary, which is out on HBO
or Max or whatever the hell it is right now,
and she was watching it, and I walked through to
her room and go, oh, dude, I was watching it
so boring, And then you're like, what happened?
Speaker 6 (02:43):
I loved it. It is one of the best documentaries
I watched in a while. And I didn't watch it
because I'm just a freaking huge Billy Joel fan. I
don't know what made me watch it. I'm so glad
I did. It's two episodes each or two and a
half hours, and it starts from the very beginning and
goes to present day.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
So good.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oh that's the part, the very beginning part. I didn't
really care about his early bands in Hicksville on Long Island.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, he was gonna be in called the Hassles. That
was it.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
But it's just saying how he got started, what influenced him.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
His first wife. I never knew this, and I've known
about Billy Joel forever.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
His first wife ended up being his manager, and there
would be no Billy Joel like we know him today
if she had not done what she had done. Really yes,
and she ended up at first I was on and
she ended up being a total badass. And they have
a bunch of big time celebrities, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen,
Popin Steing. I mean, it is a really good documentary
(03:45):
and you forget you love all the Billy Joel songs.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
So was go ahead, JB. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
There's something weird about doing the biopic or documentary when
they're still alive, Yeah, and still have their facility. Because
the story isn't over right. Billy Joel could pull an O. J. Simpson,
he could pull a Caitlyn Jenner yea, Like the story
is not over no, Like it's just it's weird to me,
(04:13):
Like Queen Okay, Freddie Mercury's gone. Yeah, that's good Elton
Elton John still being alive and well, I thought that
was very strange.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
His documentary ends with him saying, now I'm trying to
figure out what I'm gonna do next. He had shut
it down, I don't know, back in like two thousand
and eight, two thousand and nine and wrote the song
the last words I think are something literally meaning, these
are the last words I'm writing. For a while, he
got very disillusioned with it, and then Hurricane Sandy hit
in twenty twelve and he was asked to do a
(04:45):
benefit concert and that is what brought him back to
the stage, and that's what led to him doing his
tenure run at Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Did they address that famous meltdown on stage where he
flipped the piano.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:00):
He was in Russia when he did that, and the
version of it that he gave was that he was
a performer who went to Russia when other performers wouldn't,
that the Russian fans were just so hyped up and
so excited, and something just came over him and he
just flipped the piano during the during a song or
at the end of the song and the crowd went wild, like,
(05:20):
look at this freaking rich American. He's so rich he
can flip these pianos. It was not presented in a
him having a meltdown kind of way. It was like
him sucked up in the the you know, intensity of
the performance.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Did they do That's why did they discuss him getting
ripped off by his Yeah manager and stealing all his.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Money manager who was his ex brother in law. And
that happened.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
They discovered that when he was with Christy Brinkley when
they went to like upgrade their house or something, and
they're like, you don't have enough money to upgrade your house,
And at this point he was beyond rich. Yeah, they
ended up not pursuing him in another tour. He just
was like, well, I guess I have to write some
more songs and go on tour. And the album that
(06:06):
he put out for that tour, I can't remember which
one it was at this point was the best one
he's ever had, and he made more money than he'd
ever had and toured for longer than he'd ever had.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, if you guys talk about Russian crowds, you talk
about they were fired up for Billy Julian.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
You're seeing the video of Metallica when they played in Russia.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Holy crop. Just the thought of that is fright. A
million people really.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
At the Metallica show in Russia, and those Russians liked
to rock.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Yeah, they are all about it.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
He got a lot of pent up of anger.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
They deal with it.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
And when you watch it you can see the the
helicopters flying around.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
I love to maintain crowd control.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Really so yeah, maybe more shows how to go to Russia.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
I don't know, I don't know. It's definitely worth watching.
I suggest you try again, Sandy again.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
That's the Billy Joel. It's on HBO.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Max with HBO Max Joel and so it goes is
the name?
Speaker 5 (07:02):
All right?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Coming up on the show, Jab and his wife have
taken a trip down memory lane. Apparently they're very disappointed
in what they found. Also, Texans in their sex life.
Things look good for Texans, by the way, And the
story We Love is coming up next. It's not a
great story. Some kind of bad news. Something that happened
right there at the three sixty.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Bridge, yep, at the Pennybacker Bridge Saturday night, Lake Austin.
Two swimmers in distress didn't end well for one of them.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Details coming up on Austin's eighty station one O three
point one and streaming on iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
It's as Austin as it gets.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty
station one O three point one.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Gotta be careful when you're swimming in Lake Austin, especially
around the three sixty bridge. Not a great story coming
up in just a moment that happened on Saturday night.
That happens in the story We Love Javy. Let me
ask you something. Do you ever like just try to
do something nice for your wife and they push back
on you, Like, let me give you an example.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I don't know exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
So here's what I mean. So yesterday, mid morning, I'm
driving home. I called Tricia, and I know Tricia has
been feeling good. She's got this sinus infection because of allergies,
and she's had a cough and all that. And I
also knew that she was out of cough drops, and
so I'm like, you want me to stop and get
you some cough drops? And she's like, well, I mean,
(08:25):
you don't have to stop just for me, but if
you want, you know, And I was like, no, no,
if you need, I'd like to get I'd like to
do something nice for you. No, don't do that. Don't
do that, don't stop. You don't have to do that.
I'm like, finally, Jibby, I'm like, oh my god, Tricia,
just let me do something nice for you.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
Please. This doesn't happen all the time.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
I was trying to be nice to you and not
make you have to go out of your way to
the Walgreens to give me some cough drops.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I will trying to be nice back, but.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Sometimes it's okay to let people do nice things for you.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Well, I mean, okay, thank you.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
I don't know what you're deal is that.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
I didn't want you to make a special trip just
for me. I was trying to be considerate.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Yeah, I don't know. Does your wife ever do that? JB?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
It's funny there is kind of similar, but she she
has kind of accepted that my love language is is
doing things and to the cars and stuff. Yeah, like
she hasn't pumped gas in probably a decade really, And
I know there was a moment where, you know, like
(09:31):
my daughter. He's now twenty three. She got all upset
because she came by and I just took her car
and I just like to drive it and check it
out and I'll go gas it up and I'll run
it through the car wash. And she was waiting on me.
But then you know, she was upset that I just
took it without asking her. And then my wife was
(09:52):
trying to explain to my daughter, like, you got to
just let him do it. This is his thing, that's right,
it's this is his love life language is taking care
of the car and fixing things up. And you know,
I'll go through it and throw trash out, and a
couple of times I've thrown away things like oh I
needed that receipt.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
I was going to return something.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Oh right, If it's that important, it wouldn't have been
on the floor of your stories.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
We Love Li from the Lesserhold Studio.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Here's Tricia Delicia.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Not a great story.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
But one person drowned and another person was rescued Saturday
evening after EMS crews responded to reports of two swimmers
in distress near the Pennybacker Bridge. One swimmer was rescued
Saturday evening and treated and then according to social media
posts from the Austin Fire Department, the other remained missing
and it wasn't until around eleven am Sunday morning that
(10:46):
a recovery team located and retrieved the missing swimmer's body.
So the rescue effort started Saturday night around six or
the plaza of the lake boat ramp, but they have
not identified the deceased.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Why are they still daylight? Yeah? Why are they swimming
around the three sixty bridge?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I thought that was oh that's now a hangout. Yeah,
a few years ago they made that all and no
wake zone. Oh so the bend up river, you know,
before you get to all the boat houses on Rivercrest, right,
so it's it's kind of there, and then it goes
about halfway past Austin Country Club golf course is all
(11:26):
no wake. So a lot a lot of people that
used to go into the coves, the little shallow coves
and hang out, you know, people that like to tie
up and hang out. They they've now started going more
out in the open because that's a no wake area.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
So it's no wake all the way across.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
Yeah, it's no wake all the way across.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Yeah, yeah, So yeah, it's been particular by the bridge,
which is a good thing because of the ramp there,
but the boy, they've made it big. But people hang
out there and swim and there's always a lot of alcohol.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
And yeah, isn't that still pretty danger even though it's
no wake.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
I don't know, boats are mean, boats are barely moving
through there. Yeah, it's just it's just become the hangout.
It's like it's like there's a lot of accidental accidents
in Devil's Cove just because it's hangout on Lake Travis.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Right, it's just sheer numbers right right, right, you know.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I mean drownings can happen anywhere on the lake, but
just the fact that if it's a concentrated area like that.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Man, Yeah, did they say the ages here or anything?
Speaker 6 (12:28):
No, no, no, no identity is nothing like that anything
like that has come out.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
Yet. You gotta be so cared. There's so many people
in JB.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
I mean, we lived on Lake Travis for fifteen years
and you're on Lake Austin all the time. There are
so many people that go out onto the lake and
have no idea what's going on. Like, yeah, they have
no clue how to behave and they'll rent a.
Speaker 6 (12:49):
Boat to anybody, anybody, anybody care.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
The boat rental industry has gotten out of control. And yeah,
people don't know what they're doing. A lot of first
time boat owners with COVID. Yeah now now they have
a few years experience under their belt, but a lot
of first time boat owners when COVID hit and they
were wanting to do stuff outdoors. It was I saw,
(13:15):
especially that first year. I saw some of the craziest stuff.
And I'm talking about people in two, three, four hundred
thousand dollars boats, no clue what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Wow, that's yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
And you know, my daughter's a wake surf coach and
she'd go on people's boats on a four hundred thousand
dollars boat they just got and they don't have a
clue how to use it.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
Wow. Why do you start out with something the starter boat?
Doesn't go all in on.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
This new money Austin I they want, they want the
bragging rights to have the most expensive one.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
And she's silly, my expense all those people who drunk,
no life jackets in the water, No life jackets.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Yeah, yeah, it's funny you mentioned that I just bought
my daughter's doing more charters I bought a bunch of
and I know you probably had a bunch of them
when you lived on the lake, those little floaty foam
cushions that you just sit on, you just sit and float.
I just bought a bunch of those. I'm like, hey,
you know, if you're doing a charter and people just
want to just toss them all one of these, that's
(14:16):
a good call. Yeah, they're really inexpensive. And you know,
and there's the hydrilla is back too, and I mean
in big force. It started like a month ago there
was none and now it's everywhere. I can barely get
in and out of my boat, slip or all the
Asian carp gone, I guess, so maybe they've aged out.
(14:40):
I thought they were supposed to live a lot longer
than that, because yeah, if you're new to Austin, the
hydrilla or they call it duck weed, it just it
grows really fast. And that lake's pretty shallow, so a
lot of the shoreline is only two three feet and
it grows up to the sun and you could get
tangled up in that pretty easily. Yeah, not even know it.
(15:03):
And it's it's just came on big time. And I
don't know. Maybe maybe now that Lake Travis is near
full again, they start releasing. Maybe it'll flush some stuff out,
but it's it's pretty gnarly.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
And they brought those carbon to eat the hydralla down,
but it went to the opposite extreme and ate everything right.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Right, yeah, and it turned the muddy, yeah, muddy and gross.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I read it was and it was getting back to normal,
except we now have some zebra muscles.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Yeah. Just an article about that too. I read a
terrifying story.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
This has nothing to do with Austin, but this really
experienced couple scuba diving experienced couple went to the Great
Barrier Reef in Australia. This happened years ago, this is
not recent. And they went out with a group, a
dive group, and got left.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Oh yeah, I've heard this.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Got well, everyone came back. I think I heard his
stories of that. Yeah, they all come back and they
didn't do a headcount, right, yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
And they were gone and they died.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
The couple died, yes, yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
They did. You imagine you go back to your dive
vote and it's not there.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Nope.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
It's one of my greatest fears is being stranded in
the middle of the ocean at night.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I feel like if I was going to scuba dive,
I would want to be tethered to the high assumption.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
To the boat man, that's just terrifying.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Sounds like a careless tour exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Someone didn't count all the divers before they left, and
she imagine getting back there and realizing you forgot to Oh.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
But then how did they not realize and go back out?
I feel like I've heard a few stories like that,
not I think one of them. Some people actually were rescued,
but they sued for a crap ton of money after that.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Coming up next, JB and his wife Aaron kind of
took a trip down memory lane and would disappointing be
the right word? Yeah, it just wasn't what we expected. Okay,
all right, stay with us. It's coming up on Austin's
Dady station one O three point one. Hey, it's j
BE in Sandy for our friends at Koala Cooling, Scott
(17:03):

folks who bring you Koala Cooling and Plumbing? Do you
ever hear those same JB? The dog days of summer?
Do you know what it actually means. It means you
can't go outside. You want to stay in your air
condition home. How I interpret that true? But it actually
has history with astrology, the ancient Greeks and the Dog
(17:26):
Star constellation. Hey, that's great, great to know. But right
here on planet Texas, I just know it's hot, right.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Yeah, we hit triple digits in May, and I know
we have hit triple digits in September. That's a long stretch.
You want to get your home checked out and koualified.
Speaker 2 (17:43):

hottest days of the year. So go ahead and get
the team from Koala Cooling to come out and take
