Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the JB and Sandy Show podcast. You can
listen live every morning on one of three point one
in Austin, or stream the show on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Hi, everybody, We're gonna start to show up by telling
you guys.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Coming up a little bit later on, we're gonna talk
to Craig Way, voice of the Longhorns football season less
than two weeks away, and it's nice of Craig to
carve out some time and visit with us this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Boy, the hype is full effect.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Yeah, you know, just on my social media feed is
all Longhorn highlights.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I know, boy, I don't know if that's fans making
these or if they've got a whole hype department in
the film school or what, but man, are think making
some cool videos?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:44):
I mean season's gonna be great, Okay, I think I
could start. Expectations are incredibly high, right.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
They're high every season for the Longhorns, but this year
they're super high. I mean, we got Arch Manning is
the starting quarterback. We'll get into all this with Craig
White a little bit later on, and Trisha's got a
non football question about for Craig that's been driving her
a little bit crazy about his dog.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Yeah, since the last time we had it on, I
was like, why didn't I ask it? So I'm going
to ask it today.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I want to start out with a little bit of
kind of interesting Aaron Franklin from Franklin to barbecue, which,
by the way, I've never had.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Me either.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yeah, I've had it at a party, a catered party,
and it was pretty amazing, But I've not done the
ritual of standing in line for three hours and doing
all of that.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
And I mean nothing personal, mister Franklin, but I'm not
doing that. I'm at least not this time of year.
But he's not going to expand, right.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Yeah, he said, he said we could, He said, but
it would never be as good. The new one would
never be as good as the original, and it would
make the original one less special. And he said, we
just totally kill the magic. So he says, nowhere in
the near future is it going to be anything other
than one place that he has.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Now, that's pretty smart, I think, because he's right. I
think so too. He's right.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
The second one wouldn't be Everyone would say, oh, the
other one's better, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, Yeah, that's not the original.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
He seems to have his hands and more things like
other projects like loro. He's got cookbooks. I buy his sauces,
his rub and I was curious. I was like, I
was in my head. I was like, I think you
can buy Aaron Franklin barbecue pit.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
You can.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Oh, really, you can buy one for fifty one hundred
and fifty dollars. Who pass, I'll pass on that one.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
And it's guaranteed to make your barbecue taste like his.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I mean, i'll buy it.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
If that's what it's saying. I'll stick with my my
Big Green Egg. It does pretty darn good job, my
Big Green Egg on a Hey, brisket's not easy to do.
Have you ever have you ever smoked a brisket?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
JB.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
No, I've never done any like slow barbecue, cook barbecue
or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Oh well I have. Would you like to hear some tricks?
Speaker 5 (03:03):
And to be sure, be sure before you say yes,
because he'll talk a long time. He's tagged himself as
a pitmaster by the way, self proclaimed.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I self proclaim, I fancy myself as a as a pitmaster.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
But no, I've done so really, Oh, I thought you
were still talking about Aaron frank.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Okay, the moment he got a green egg, That's all
we heard about for like two years straight, was all
the different meats and the different things that he did.
And do you like this one better? This one better?
I mean, he was in it.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
And I'd always screw with Tricia too with the brisket,
because the brisket turns out really good. And then the
next time I do it, I'll go, I did it
just a little bit different this time. And why do
you keep screwing around with it? It was so good before?
Why do you keep switching it?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Just do what this say?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
But I'm real sad in my heart, JB. Because my
the dome on my big green egg. I lifted it
up once and it came unattached and shattered on the ground.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Oh that only you could destroy it?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Yeah, like how far did you fling up the lid?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
And I have not gotten around to gett a replacement yet,
But I'm going to one of these dings, and when
I do, you can come over and have some of
my delicious brisket. Okay, But Aaron Franklin's not not going
to go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I'm not going to.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Expand to more places a La Terry Blacks, right, right,
how many of those are there?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
I mean I know of at least two or three,
at least two or three Lockhart.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
We went to the one in Lockhart recently, a couple
months ago, like in June.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
But I found out.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
That's not the original one, Trish of the because the
one we went to was off of the highway a
little bit right, and apparently that's not the original Terry Blacks.
There's a different one somewhere else. Someone texted me and
told me that after we were talking about it. So
not exactly sure. I mean, I'm fine with rude, he's fine.
I'm good with that.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
You know, I'm not mad at a Riddy's chop beef sandwich.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
They're just saying, I guess there's I've just looked up something.
It wasn't really Terry Black's Barbecue until twenty fourteen, right,
because they were saying last it was just Blacks, Yeah, right.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Didn't they have a pissing match and they broke off
or something?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Yeah, nineteen thirty two started in Lockhart. It's a meat market.
Family split in fourteen. The grandsons of the original owner.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
They could do it better. Feud and lawsuits. Whoa lass suit?
We get a documentary on the right.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
I would totally watch that.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
It was the grandkids that they're so damn smart. They're like,
we can do this better, we can make more money
at it. And Grandpa's like, I nailed this eighty years ago.
You know, there's nothing, nothing needs to be changed.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
I'm on the website and it says the business plan
is to not change a thing in bold letters. So
what do were they got mad? Now?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I need to know.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
They told Grandpa, well, you need to get on social media,
and Grandpa's like, no, I know't, No, just make good barbecue.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
They will come, Zach, they will come.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighties
station one oh three point one text us seven three
seven three zero one ninety six hundred.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
All right, we're going to go from talking about barbecue,
which we did just a few minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
They're talking about sausage and beers.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
That's coming up in the story we'd love But again,
I want you guys to be here coming up the
next ten minutes or so. Craig Wait, the voice of
the Longhorns is going to be joining us. Kickoff first
game of the season is a week from Saturday. You
can catch all the games here on one O three
point one, Austin's eighty station, The.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Stories we Love live from the Lester Hold Studio. Here's
Tricia Delicia.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
So you guys, remember yesterday we were talking about Worst
Best and jab you said you hadn't been in a
long time. Standay, and I realized we hadn't been at all.
We were like, isn't it coming up pretty soon? And
lo and behold, I've found out that the dates for
the twenty twenty five Worst Fest in New Bromfils has
been announced, scheduled November seventh through sixteenth, ten day festival
(07:11):
as Germans like to stretch it out normally, if that's
was like three or four days, right, but it's gonna
be going on for ten days, honoring all things sausage
and beer in New Brompoles, which after hearing about this,
I think that we have to go. One thing I
did not know earlier this year it was named the
best big market food festival or event by the twenty
(07:31):
twenty five Texas Travel Awards.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Really and it.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Draws more than two hundred thousand visitors every year.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I'm gonna have to bust out the later hosen I
think you are?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Are you and your dad go to Germany for the
real october Fest, but which is actually in November, right.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It's in September.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
September, Okay, yeah, it's like three weeks in September and
it just takes out.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
It's so wild, Like the.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Whole city of Munich everyone's wearing later hosing or dourdles
and went summer and the women are on their bicycles
a lot and wearing their dresses.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
It's so cool.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
And it was like ten years ago when we went,
but apparently that tradition had really died out of wearing
the traditional garb, and then young people started.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Doing it and brought it back. Oh I love that.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
So as soon as you get there, you know, you're like,
we got to get the clothing. And it's what's really
cool is you know, you can't spot the Americans like
you normally can Octoberfest because they all go out and
buy the stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Everybody's dressed the same.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Yeah, and so we were able to pass ourself off
as legit Germans to some people.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
But super fun Oh my gosh, it's so fun. I'm
really sad.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I'm glad they chose to bring back the later hosen
and all that kind of stuff and not all the
Nazi gear from.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
That was a better choice, much much better choice.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
But so Tricia, you just said it.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
But the dates again, November seventh through sixteenth, and it's
the dates, like the times during the day, very what
the times during the week versus the weekend times. But
they still haven't announced their entertainment. The lineup hasn't been
announced for that yet. But I mean it's go ahead, so.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Tape having been to, I've never been, which is hard
to believe.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Is it just a nighttime beer hall thing or is
it a festival and all kinds of stuff going on,
Like if you went during the day and took kids.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
That is a good question.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
I don't think I was ever there during the day, right,
I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I've been there at night where it's just about beer and.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Food, and yeah, the hours can sometimes it starts as
early as eleven am on the weekends and in the evenings.
Sometimes it's opened just in the evenings, but there's food
vendors in midway games and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, okay, that's right. It was a tense at night.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
It just turns into a beer hall. Yeah, and it's
been again. It's been a long time since I've done it.
But I always recommend to Austin night's like, get a
hotel room down there, or get a driver. Yeah, take
you down in back. It's a tougher drive back than
you think it is. I knew a bunch of guys
that used to get a bus every year. Yeah, that's
the way to do.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
A group of people down there and tear it up
in New bron Fules and then somehow get home in
the bus right.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Right, And if two hundred thousand people are coming, you're
gonna want to get a hotel room.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I would say, do it pretty quick, that's true.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I wonder if it's going on during that school break
that we have, you know, because it's weird this year
at school. By the way, schools starting today AISD right
is back.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yes, if you haven't figured it out already, Yeah, if you're.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
In it, maybe sitting in it going uh huh forgot Yeah,
especially people don't.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
I don't know if the school break is for all
of the school districts I do know it's for Leander
School District, but that break that five day breaks in October.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
In November.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah, all right, So it's really the person that it's
out there that is in traffic right now whose kids
are moved out and they're empty nesters and they're just
driving to work or something. They're like, oh, crap, here
we go. I forgot school started. So be careful. Give
it to the kids moving on. Don't forget you guys.
Stop behind those school buses too. That's a it seems
like we shouldn't have to remind you of that.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I saw someone rip past me in a school zone.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
They were turning the lights back on opening day, and
I saw people blasting through it.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Right, So just give it a little extra time if
you're heading out stick around. Coming up next, the voice
of the Long Horns, Craig Way, joins us on Austin's
eighty station.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
What O three point one, It's as Austin as it gets.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty
station one O three point one.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Trisia's got a little bit of bragging, right, so she's
going to take advantage of it any chance she can
that's coming up in just a second. Hey, if you're
just joining us right now, you missed a great conversation
with Craig Way, voice of the Longhorns. He's nice enough
to give us some time this morning talk about the
upcoming season. Craig's pretty fired up too for the season,
and Tricia asked him what his dog's names are.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
I was like, I'm not going to act like I
have a great football question for this guy.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
If Oh, do you know how.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Many people like Longhorn fanatics would kill to have just
a chat with Craig Oh?
Speaker 6 (12:20):
I know.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
If you missed it and you want to listen to it,
crab the podcast version, we'll have that done for you
probably ten o'clock this morning. Search the iHeartRadio app just
look for Jake to search Jab and Sandy a great
interview with Craig Wabe. You'll enjoy it. All right, let's
talk about speaking of the University of Texas. They're on
this list, right, Tricia, mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yep, they are.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
So there's a new Hall of Fame list of the
best colleges in the US. Three Austin area colleges, Central
Texas colleges, made the list. Of course, the University of
Texas at Austin, which is.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Perfectly weird an Ivy League school now right at.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
This point, Yeah, basically Southwestern University in Georgetown on the list.
And you guys, for the first time in my history,
am I able to brag that Texas State University in
San Marcus was also put on the list. According to
the Princeton Review's Best three hundred and ninety one Colleges
(13:18):
of twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Six, that's Tricia's alma mater down there in San Marcos.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Southwest Texas State University is what it was called when
I went.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
What a great job they've done turning that around, because
remember back in the late eighties early nineties, it was
the numb party number one party school in America.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
I contested by to that because after my first semester there,
they're like, yeah, you can't come here anymore because I
such a bad great point average. I never went to class.
That's why I did all the other things that came
with college.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
It's a good school, I mean, that's a good company
to be And what'd you say, the top three hundred
ninety one.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
School, the best colleges and Southwestern.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Boy, you don't hear much about Southwestern, you know, now.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I mean I grew up in Georgetown, and so I
when you say Southwestern, all I can think of is
that golf course behind the school because I had to
run laps around it cross country training. Oh yeah, they
had state meet there a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
It's a good, cool little campus, isn't it. It's really cool.
It's great.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
So we were just up there not long ago.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
My wife and I were coming back from Dallas, and
I was like, let's just poke around in Georgetown a
little bit and drove it drove down University. There's a
great neighborhood by there. I was trying to talk her
into moving into a house there. She's like, no, I'm
not moving to Georgetown. No, but that campus is really cute.
Didn't you see they changed some of the laws. Now
you can walk around with an open container in the
(14:42):
square and stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
They because growing up in Georgetown it was a dry county.
Yeah you could. Uh, it was like such a no no.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
And so then they've really opened up open containers and
they're now the wine.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
You know, Texas becoming more of a wine culture.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Her, and you can walk around the square with a
cocktail and it's I guess the square is really thriving
again when it struggled for a long time.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
That's good. That's good.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I love the small town Texas squares. They're all the same,
but I yeah, there's something quaint the feel of them. Yeah,
something about them. Speaking The square in San Marcus, I
don't even know if it's still there. The green Parrot.
Is that still there? Did you ever go there?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Was there a lot? It is still there?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Uh So, speaking of colleges, our daughter, who's a junior
in high school, just started her junior year. I overheard
a conversation that she had with one of her friends. Boy,
she is that teenage girl that talks on the phone.
You know this, Oh she is, yeah, and now and
they FaceTime a lot too, And so I've got to
be really careful when I go into say good night,
to make sure I have a shirt on.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
In case she's facetiming with a friend. Right.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
But she was talking to her friends and they were
talking about colleges, and she's like, yeah, I'm gonna apply
to applied to Texas. A and M in the Naval
Academy and Texas State because my mom went there.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
But she asked me that. She told me that.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
I was like, girl, I am fine if you don't
apply there. I applied there because I knew that I
could get in. I just knew that I could. I
was like, I mean, it's a good school. I was like,
but try trying to shoot a little bit high.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I heard that conversation. I was like, Wow, isn't that
going to be disappointing? If you applied to A and
M and you applied to the Naval Academy, but you.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Enroll at Texas State. Things didn't go as planned.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
You know what's been kind of trendy and maybe you
know some kids that have made this decision.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
A lot of Austin kids are going to Arkansas. Yeah
you know why. Yeah, they're giving them in state tuition.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
They doing Louisiana too, Yeah, they're they like these Texas kids,
these Texas kids who used to be able to get
into to UT or A and M. Yeah, are now
like getting shut out. And there's a lot of kids
going to Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
But I tell you what though, JB and you you
were there too. We had some kids that were interns
for us that were UT kids that I, honest to God,
was like, how in the f did you?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
You're an idiot? How did you be a little easier
to get in?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
But even back then, I mean twenty fifteen, twenty years ago,
it was pretty tough and I was like, how did
you get into UT?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I just it was bathlway like remember goofy Ron?
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yeah, book smarts yeah, great, dudes are just book smarts,
good test takers.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
They're good at math. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
But you know now now it's not just grades. Like
when Leandry was a freshman in high school, we had
the new new parents of new Students' orientation and the
counselors were like, it's not just your GPA. It has
to be all the things. It has to get to
be more rounded out, whereas before or it was GPA.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, and scores and scat scores.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Right, It's good that they're taking a little bigger picture,
a broader picture of the person than just their grades.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Because what do you want? You know, there was something
was it a movie I saw or a video I watched.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Guy was an interviewer and he'd have people in and
he'd said, you wouldn't believe he'd tell the potential higher,
like yeah, yeah, yeah, you got a four point zero
in college. So did the last twenty five people that
I interviewed. What else did you do? And they're like nothing,
All I did is study. Well, this job's not for you.
(18:38):
Yeah yeah, So I mean, I don't know. It's probably
better to take a bigger picture look at people I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
But congratulations Texas State.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Yeah, yay, Southwest. I'm still called Southwest. I feel so proud.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Hi, everybody, We're gonna start to show up by telling
you guys.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Coming up a little bit later on, we're gonna talk
to Craig Way, voice of the Longhorns football season less
than two weeks away, and it's nice of Craig to
carve out some time and visit with us this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Boy, the hype is full effect.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Yeah, you know, just on my social media feed is
all Longhorn highlights.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I know, boy, I don't know if that's fans making
these or if they've got a whole hype department in
the film school or what, but man, are think making
some cool videos?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:44):
I mean season's gonna be great, Okay, I think I
could start. Expectations are incredibly high, right.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
They're high every season for the Longhorns, but this year
they're super high. I mean, we got Arch Manning is
the starting quarterback. We'll get into all this with Craig
White a little bit later on, and Trisha's got a
non football question about for Craig that's been driving her
a little bit crazy about his dog.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Yeah, since the last time we had it on, I
was like, why didn't I ask it? So I'm going
to ask it today.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I want to start out with a little bit of
kind of interesting Aaron Franklin from Franklin to barbecue, which,
by the way, I've never had.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Me either.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yeah, I've had it at a party, a catered party,
and it was pretty amazing, But I've not done the
ritual of standing in line for three hours and doing
all of that.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
And I mean nothing personal, mister Franklin, but I'm not
doing that. I'm at least not this time of year.
But he's not going to expand, right.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Yeah, he said, he said we could, He said, but
it would never be as good. The new one would
never be as good as the original, and it would
make the original one less special. And he said, we
just totally kill the magic. So he says, nowhere in
the near future is it going to be anything other
than one place that he has.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Now, that's pretty smart, I think, because he's right. I
think so too. He's right.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
The second one wouldn't be Everyone would say, oh, the
other one's better, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, Yeah, that's not the original.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
He seems to have his hands and more things like
other projects like loro. He's got cookbooks. I buy his sauces,
his rub and I was curious. I was like, I
was in my head. I was like, I think you
can buy Aaron Franklin barbecue pit.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
You can.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Oh, really, you can buy one for fifty one hundred
and fifty dollars. Who pass, I'll pass on that one.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
And it's guaranteed to make your barbecue taste like his.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
I mean, i'll buy it.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
If that's what it's saying. I'll stick with my my
Big Green Egg. It does pretty darn good job, my
Big Green Egg on a Hey, brisket's not easy to do.
Have you ever have you ever smoked a brisket?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
JB.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
No, I've never done any like slow barbecue, cook barbecue
or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Oh well I have. Would you like to hear some tricks?
Speaker 5 (03:03):
And to be sure, be sure before you say yes,
because he'll talk a long time. He's tagged himself as
a pitmaster by the way, self proclaimed.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I self proclaim, I fancy myself as a as a pitmaster.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
But no, I've done so really, Oh, I thought you
were still talking about Aaron frank.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Okay, the moment he got a green egg, That's all
we heard about for like two years straight, was all
the different meats and the different things that he did.
And do you like this one better? This one better?
I mean, he was in it.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
And I'd always screw with Tricia too with the brisket,
because the brisket turns out really good. And then the
next time I do it, I'll go, I did it
just a little bit different this time. And why do
you keep screwing around with it? It was so good before?
Why do you keep switching it?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Just do what this say?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
But I'm real sad in my heart, JB. Because my
the dome on my big green egg. I lifted it
up once and it came unattached and shattered on the ground.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Oh that only you could destroy it?
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Yeah, like how far did you fling up the lid?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
And I have not gotten around to gett a replacement yet,
But I'm going to one of these dings, and when
I do, you can come over and have some of
my delicious brisket. Okay, But Aaron Franklin's not not going
to go anywhere.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I'm not going to.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Expand to more places a La Terry Blacks, right, right,
how many of those are there?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
I mean I know of at least two or three,
at least two or three Lockhart.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
We went to the one in Lockhart recently, a couple
months ago, like in June.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
But I found out.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
That's not the original one, Trish of the because the
one we went to was off of the highway a
little bit right, and apparently that's not the original Terry Blacks.
There's a different one somewhere else. Someone texted me and
told me that after we were talking about it. So
not exactly sure. I mean, I'm fine with rude, he's fine.
I'm good with that.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
You know, I'm not mad at a Riddy's chop beef sandwich.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
They're just saying, I guess there's I've just looked up something.
It wasn't really Terry Black's Barbecue until twenty fourteen, right,
because they were saying last it was just Blacks, Yeah, right.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Didn't they have a pissing match and they broke off
or something?
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Yeah, nineteen thirty two started in Lockhart. It's a meat market.
Family split in fourteen. The grandsons of the original owner.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
They could do it better. Feud and lawsuits. Whoa lass suit?
We get a documentary on the right.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
I would totally watch that.
Speaker 6 (05:40):
You know.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
It was the grandkids that they're so damn smart. They're like,
we can do this better, we can make more money
at it. And Grandpa's like, I nailed this eighty years ago.
You know, there's nothing, nothing needs to be changed.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
I'm on the website and it says the business plan
is to not change a thing in bold letters. So
what do were they got mad? Now?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
I need to know.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
They told Grandpa, well, you need to get on social media,
and Grandpa's like, no, I know't, No, just make good barbecue.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
They will come, Zach, they will come.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighties
station one oh three point one text us seven three
seven three zero one ninety six hundred.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
All right, we're going to go from talking about barbecue,
which we did just a few minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
They're talking about sausage and beers.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
That's coming up in the story we'd love But again,
I want you guys to be here coming up the
next ten minutes or so. Craig Wait, the voice of
the Longhorns is going to be joining us. Kickoff first
game of the season is a week from Saturday. You
can catch all the games here on one O three
point one, Austin's eighty station, The.
Speaker 7 (06:41):
Stories we Love live from the Lester Hold Studio. Here's
Tricia Delicia.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
So you guys, remember yesterday we were talking about Worst
Best and jab you said you hadn't been in a
long time. Standay, and I realized we hadn't been at all.
We were like, isn't it coming up pretty soon? And
lo and behold, I've found out that the dates for
the twenty twenty five Worst Fest in New Bromfils has
been announced, scheduled November seventh through sixteenth, ten day festival
(07:11):
as Germans like to stretch it out normally, if that's
was like three or four days, right, but it's gonna
be going on for ten days, honoring all things sausage
and beer in New Brompoles, which after hearing about this,
I think that we have to go. One thing I
did not know earlier this year it was named the
best big market food festival or event by the twenty
(07:31):
twenty five Texas Travel Awards.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Really and it.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Draws more than two hundred thousand visitors every year.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I'm gonna have to bust out the later hosen I
think you are?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Are you and your dad go to Germany for the
real october Fest, but which is actually in November, right.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It's in September.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
September, Okay, yeah, it's like three weeks in September and
it just takes out.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
It's so wild, Like the.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Whole city of Munich everyone's wearing later hosing or dourdles
and went summer and the women are on their bicycles
a lot and wearing their dresses.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
It's so cool.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
And it was like ten years ago when we went,
but apparently that tradition had really died out of wearing
the traditional garb, and then young people started.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Doing it and brought it back. Oh I love that.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
So as soon as you get there, you know, you're like,
we got to get the clothing. And it's what's really
cool is you know, you can't spot the Americans like
you normally can Octoberfest because they all go out and
buy the stuff.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Everybody's dressed the same.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Yeah, and so we were able to pass ourself off
as legit Germans to some people.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
But super fun Oh my gosh, it's so fun. I'm
really sad.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I'm glad they chose to bring back the later hosen
and all that kind of stuff and not all the
Nazi gear from.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
That was a better choice, much much better choice.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
But so Tricia, you just said it.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
But the dates again, November seventh through sixteenth, and it's
the dates, like the times during the day, very what
the times during the week versus the weekend times. But
they still haven't announced their entertainment. The lineup hasn't been
announced for that yet. But I mean it's go ahead, so.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Tape having been to, I've never been, which is hard
to believe.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Is it just a nighttime beer hall thing or is
it a festival and all kinds of stuff going on,
Like if you went during the day and took kids.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
That is a good question.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
I don't think I was ever there during the day, right,
I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I've been there at night where it's just about beer and.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Food, and yeah, the hours can sometimes it starts as
early as eleven am on the weekends and in the evenings.
Sometimes it's opened just in the evenings, but there's food
vendors in midway games and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, okay, that's right. It was a tense at night.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
It just turns into a beer hall. Yeah, and it's
been again. It's been a long time since I've done it.
But I always recommend to Austin night's like, get a
hotel room down there, or get a driver. Yeah, take
you down in back. It's a tougher drive back than
you think it is. I knew a bunch of guys
that used to get a bus every year. Yeah, that's
the way to do.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
A group of people down there and tear it up
in New bron Fules and then somehow get home in
the bus right.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Right, And if two hundred thousand people are coming, you're
gonna want to get a hotel room.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I would say, do it pretty quick, that's true.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I wonder if it's going on during that school break
that we have, you know, because it's weird this year
at school. By the way, schools starting today AISD right
is back.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yes, if you haven't figured it out already, Yeah, if you're.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
In it, maybe sitting in it going uh huh forgot Yeah,
especially people don't.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
I don't know if the school break is for all
of the school districts I do know it's for Leander
School District, but that break that five day breaks in October.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
In November.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah, all right, So it's really the person that it's
out there that is in traffic right now whose kids
are moved out and they're empty nesters and they're just
driving to work or something. They're like, oh, crap, here
we go. I forgot school started. So be careful. Give
it to the kids moving on. Don't forget you guys.
Stop behind those school buses too. That's a it seems
like we shouldn't have to remind you of that.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I saw someone rip past me in a school zone.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
They were turning the lights back on opening day, and
I saw people blasting through it.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Right, So just give it a little extra time if
you're heading out stick around. Coming up next, the voice
of the Long Horns, Craig Way, joins us on Austin's
eighty station.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
What O three point one, It's as Austin as it gets.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty
station one O three point one.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Trisia's got a little bit of bragging, right, so she's
going to take advantage of it any chance she can
that's coming up in just a second. Hey, if you're
just joining us right now, you missed a great conversation
with Craig Way, voice of the Longhorns. He's nice enough
to give us some time this morning talk about the
upcoming season. Craig's pretty fired up too for the season,
and Tricia asked him what his dog's names are.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
I was like, I'm not going to act like I
have a great football question for this guy.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
If Oh, do you know how.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Many people like Longhorn fanatics would kill to have just
a chat with Craig Oh?
Speaker 6 (12:20):
I know.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
If you missed it and you want to listen to it,
crab the podcast version, we'll have that done for you
probably ten o'clock this morning. Search the iHeartRadio app just
look for Jake to search Jab and Sandy a great
interview with Craig Wabe. You'll enjoy it. All right, let's
talk about speaking of the University of Texas. They're on
this list, right, Tricia, mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yep, they are.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
So there's a new Hall of Fame list of the
best colleges in the US. Three Austin area colleges, Central
Texas colleges, made the list. Of course, the University of
Texas at Austin, which is.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Perfectly weird an Ivy League school now right at.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
This point, Yeah, basically Southwestern University in Georgetown on the list.
And you guys, for the first time in my history,
am I able to brag that Texas State University in
San Marcus was also put on the list. According to
the Princeton Review's Best three hundred and ninety one Colleges
(13:18):
of twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Six, that's Tricia's alma mater down there in San Marcos.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Southwest Texas State University is what it was called when
I went.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
What a great job they've done turning that around, because
remember back in the late eighties early nineties, it was
the numb party number one party school in America.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
I contested by to that because after my first semester there,
they're like, yeah, you can't come here anymore because I
such a bad great point average. I never went to class.
That's why I did all the other things that came
with college.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
It's a good school, I mean, that's a good company
to be And what'd you say, the top three hundred
ninety one.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
School, the best colleges and Southwestern.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Boy, you don't hear much about Southwestern, you know, now.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I mean I grew up in Georgetown, and so I
when you say Southwestern, all I can think of is
that golf course behind the school because I had to
run laps around it cross country training. Oh yeah, they
had state meet there a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
It's a good, cool little campus, isn't it. It's really cool.
It's great.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
So we were just up there not long ago.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
My wife and I were coming back from Dallas, and
I was like, let's just poke around in Georgetown a
little bit and drove it drove down University. There's a
great neighborhood by there. I was trying to talk her
into moving into a house there. She's like, no, I'm
not moving to Georgetown. No, but that campus is really cute.
Didn't you see they changed some of the laws. Now
you can walk around with an open container in the
(14:42):
square and stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Is that right?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
They because growing up in Georgetown it was a dry county.
Yeah you could. Uh, it was like such a no no.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
And so then they've really opened up open containers and
they're now the wine.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
You know, Texas becoming more of a wine culture.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Her, and you can walk around the square with a
cocktail and it's I guess the square is really thriving
again when it struggled for a long time.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
That's good. That's good.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I love the small town Texas squares. They're all the same,
but I yeah, there's something quaint the feel of them. Yeah,
something about them. Speaking The square in San Marcus, I
don't even know if it's still there. The green Parrot.
Is that still there? Did you ever go there?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Was there a lot? It is still there?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Uh So, speaking of colleges, our daughter, who's a junior
in high school, just started her junior year. I overheard
a conversation that she had with one of her friends. Boy,
she is that teenage girl that talks on the phone.
You know this, Oh she is, yeah, and now and
they FaceTime a lot too, And so I've got to
be really careful when I go into say good night,
to make sure I have a shirt on.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
In case she's facetiming with a friend. Right.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
But she was talking to her friends and they were
talking about colleges, and she's like, yeah, I'm gonna apply
to applied to Texas. A and M in the Naval
Academy and Texas State because my mom went there.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
But she asked me that. She told me that.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
I was like, girl, I am fine if you don't
apply there. I applied there because I knew that I
could get in. I just knew that I could. I
was like, I mean, it's a good school. I was like,
but try trying to shoot a little bit high.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I heard that conversation. I was like, Wow, isn't that
going to be disappointing? If you applied to A and
M and you applied to the Naval Academy, but you.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Enroll at Texas State. Things didn't go as planned.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
You know what's been kind of trendy and maybe you
know some kids that have made this decision.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
A lot of Austin kids are going to Arkansas. Yeah
you know why. Yeah, they're giving them in state tuition.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
They doing Louisiana too, Yeah, they're they like these Texas kids,
these Texas kids who used to be able to get
into to UT or A and M. Yeah, are now
like getting shut out. And there's a lot of kids
going to Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
But I tell you what though, JB and you you
were there too. We had some kids that were interns
for us that were UT kids that I, honest to God,
was like, how in the f did you?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
You're an idiot? How did you be a little easier
to get in?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
But even back then, I mean twenty fifteen, twenty years ago,
it was pretty tough and I was like, how did
you get into UT?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I just it was bathlway like remember goofy Ron?
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yeah, book smarts yeah, great, dudes are just book smarts,
good test takers.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
They're good at math. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
But you know now now it's not just grades. Like
when Leandry was a freshman in high school, we had
the new new parents of new Students' orientation and the
counselors were like, it's not just your GPA. It has
to be all the things. It has to get to
be more rounded out, whereas before or it was GPA.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, and scores and scat scores.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Right, It's good that they're taking a little bigger picture,
a broader picture of the person than just their grades.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Because what do you want? You know, there was something
was it a movie I saw or a video I watched.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Guy was an interviewer and he'd have people in and
he'd said, you wouldn't believe he'd tell the potential higher,
like yeah, yeah, yeah, you got a four point zero
in college. So did the last twenty five people that
I interviewed. What else did you do? And they're like nothing,
All I did is study. Well, this job's not for you.
(18:38):
Yeah yeah, So I mean, I don't know. It's probably
better to take a bigger picture look at people I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
But congratulations Texas State.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Yeah, yay, Southwest. I'm still called Southwest. I feel so proud.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Go Bob Katzi.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Well that's it. Do us a solid and copy and
paste the link to this episode and send it to
a front under two. Thanks for listening.
