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):
I start out right away. I got to ask you
guys something, Do you ever have those moments in your life?
For like, am I the only person in the entire
freaking world that this is difficult for? And it's and
and and am I the only person in the world
that freaks out when this happens? Here's here's the thing.
So I there was a password that I needed that
(00:32):
I couldn't remember, and I had not saved in my
password saber for some reason.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
So you go through the drill of getting the code
and then going in and changing the password. Here's where
the struggle starts. Right now, when you get one, you
got to come up with a new password. Right, You're like,
I'll just use one of the three or four I've
got in my head, and it tells you, Nope.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Can't use that one. You've used that one before.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
So then then you come up with another password, right,
and you got to put it in twice. Am I
the only idiot in the world that can't spell both
passwords directly the first time.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, it's pretty consistent that they're off. It's not.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
There's no more demeaning notification from your computer that says
they don't match.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Your new passwords don't match. You're like, how hard is this? Right?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
It's not that difficult to do, but boy, coming up
with the new ones of pain in the butt it is?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Yeah, are yours? Are y'all all completely different?
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Do you try and have like a common thread that
goes through your passwords to kind of help you be
able to remember them?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Uh? No, I know what you do and it's smart,
and I always forget to do that. Yeah, yeah, trisia
am I right? And that you always use like whatever
it is that you're setting up the password, it's I.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Can answer that question absolutely. Question.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
Yeah, I have a little trick I can use on
the name of the thing and then my numbers and
my exclamation points or whatever it is. It's yeah, I
could get I could probably get pretty close most of
the time.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, yeah, I need to remember that thing that you do,
or I'd easily just come up with a system because
normally I'm just like looking around my room and I'm
like cowboy hat getty.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Lamp, silver lamp and yeah. Then I was like, I
can't come up with anything that's you know I use.
That's my saving grace is last Pass. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
You can have it on your desktop and your Chrome extension,
and you can have a mobile app. And all you
have to remember is one master password and I can
and you make that one really tricky. But then you
can access all of your passwords.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So when you go let's say you go to some
site it needs a password, you put your master password
in for last Pass.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
No if so, like on my desktop, I have last
Pass open all the time.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
So okay, we'll auto fill it.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Gotcha.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
So let me ask you another question.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
And we're talking high tech computer stuff here, friends, but
are do you guys? Do you know when you have
to go to an authenticator, right, you have to go
to some Google authenticator or Microsoft authenticator and they give
you a series of numbers that you have to put
in that's like your temporary password. Do you guys freak
out when you get that number and you see the
(03:41):
little the stop watch winding down when it's going to
change again. I'm like, oh crap, I gotta do this
really fast. And then of course I get the numbers wrong,
and then I go back and the clock's run out.
I've got to get a new number. It was just
a nightmare. This last pass sounds like a thing for me.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I'm riting.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
You do have to The desktop version is free. You
pay for the mobile version, which I guarantee you after
a while you won't want it.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Okay, I'm going to get that today for sure, because
I thought I had it set up where my computer
just saved it. I don't know what happened, but god,
I felt stupid. I feel stupid a lot of times.
JB did something just before we started recording. He felt
kind of stupid too. He couldn't hear us. Couldn't he
couldn't hear us? Tell every why?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Well?
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Then I looked down and I my headphone jack was
not plugged in.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
He just kept going, Nope, I can't hear the one, y'all,
what's going on?
Speaker 6 (04:35):
I was on a trip and took my microphone and
interface with me and I did not hook everything back up.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
How was the drive back? Did you stop at BUCkies
on the way back? No, we did on the way
up there. On the way up there, we did stop
at BUCkies. Got a sausage wrap and fudge, the Temple
one or the new Hillsboro one.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
We did the Temple One O.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
We were gonna stop at Hillsboro on the way back,
and we ended up going, let's go a little farther.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
And you know how there's the two check places.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
There's the check stop, and then on the other side
of the highway it's like Slava Checks or something, Slova Checks.
I was like, let's go into Slova Checks and just
poke around.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Give them some money instead of the one in west right,
it's literally across the highway. Yeah, yeah, the one that's
been there forever.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Get some colachis.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
We didn't, We didn't, you know, it's it was tempting
and we used to always get kilachi's. But my wife's
gluten free and cannot control herself. Oh yeah, she would
just eat it and then suffer.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Do I remember correctly?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Like, you don't believe that a colachi there's no such
thing as a klachi with a wiener.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
In it, right right, People say, there's in my brain
a colachi is a fruit colachi, Sandy says.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
A wiener is also a wiener.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
A hot dog. Yeah, you can.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
I don't think they're both called Colachi's, though I think
it's just a fruit colachi, not a weiener Colacchi is
a legit colachi, so jab.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I used to stop at this at Lone Star Colachi's
all the time, and I would get something patrician. It
was always something sweet, you know, like a cinnamon roll
or something like that, and it would be I would
get Clatchi's think at that, And I told the lady there.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Once that was for my wife.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
And so one day I go back in a week
later and I don't get a cinnamon roll. And this lady,
she's so sweet, and she and I got my colachis
and she looked at me and she goes, nothing for
your lofer, your lover.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
You're like, we've been together a long time.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
We're not a lover anywhere, we're roommate to touch parts
every now and then.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, it was about right, but nothing, I'll never forget it.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Nothing for your love for coming up next.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
By the way, just quick reminder, got a thousand bucks
to give away later on this morning. That's not until
nine o'clock and we'll do it every hour right up
until five. So if you want to pick up a
thousand bucks be listening at nine o'clock. Coming up in
the very immediate future. Like next, Tristia's Got the Story
We Love? What are we talking about?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
All right?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
We're going to talk about George Strait's huge benefit concert
that he had on Monday night, talk about the huge
surprise guests that showed up, and talk about how a
Texas couple was scammed when trying to buy their tickets.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
All right, stay with us.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Story We Love is next on Austin's Eighties station one
o three point one.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's Eighties
station one oh three point one. Text us at seven
three seven three zero one ninety six hundred.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Christa's got the Story We Love In just a moment,
and not to bum everybody out, but did you see
the kind of sad news about at a camp mystic
that last camper that they have not found as an Austin.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Girl another Austin night. It's hard, yeah, awful. That whole
story is just heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And I don't know how those reporters do that sometimes,
you know what I mean, When you get that assignment
to go and cover that, I don't know, it would
be life changing definitely would definitely, So it's kind of sad.
Hopefully they'll be able to locate that camper and give
the family some closure on that whole thing.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The Stories Wheel host left studio An tell Us.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Levels that's you. In case you don't speak Spands, that's
you Church. I wasn't sure.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
So George Strait had his huge flood relief benefit concert.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
It went down in Bernie, Texas on Monday night.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
That concert has raised over six million dollars and counting
for Hill Country flood relief. Something that I thought was
amazing is a surprise guest Garth Brooks.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I mean I've never been anywhere where an even B
list surprise guests showed up, much less to Garth Brooks.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
So yeah, that benefit concert was amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I mean I remember talking about surprise appearances. I remember
I was.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
At some show and Bell BIV Devo showed up.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
I was not cool.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Not Garth Brooks, not Garth Brooks.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
No.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
But again, that concert's raised over six million dollars, are
still counting, they're still taking donations. Here's something that's super
sad and the people who did this to this Texas couple.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
In my opinion. There's a special place in hell for them.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
A Texas couple went online they paid ten thousand dollars
for tickets to George Strait's show, only to show up
at the show and found out they had been scammed.
They gave the ten thousand dollars to scammers they had
not bought tickets. The couple said, of course, we're mad
about the money, but really, what we're mad most about
is it the money didn't go to people who needed
(10:03):
it and need help. It went to some scammers who
did such a good job tricking them that they're shocked
that they fell for it.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
We need to bring back as a country for people
that do things like this. We need to bring back
tart and feathering. Yeah, bring that back, and that'll slowly.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Now we all gather in the streets and go shame.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, shame, shame, shame, or yell boom.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I feel like there's nothing worse than that.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
The power of the boom.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Yeah, it's worth so scumbags.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
They raised six million dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I got a feeling that that money will actually get
to the people that need it, unlike the one in California.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Have you seen that mess?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
The fire aid and for the Palisades, one hundred million
dollars raised.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
No one knows where the money is.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Gotten, much of the money, any of the money.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
The people that were homes burned have not gotten any
of the money.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Nothing. It's interesting.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
My wife and I were watching over the weekend a
little bit of that CNN Live Aid series.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
That's awesome. I was watching it too.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Yeah, it's it's fascinating because they raised so much money.
I don't even remember what the total was, but it
was pretty miraculous. But they didn't have a plan for
the distribution and took a lot of scrutiny when they
were just trying to go okay, you know, Bob Geldof
put this together, and everyone was just in the mindset
of raising money, and then when you're sitting there on
(11:33):
a mountain of money, millions and millions of dollars, then
it's like, okay, now what do you do with it properly?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Right?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Whole different animal. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
The funny thing in that, I thought, the funniest thing
in that, I think it's a two or three part thing,
is when Bob Geldof was somewhere, maybe in an airport
or something, and Mother Teresa was there too, and he
said that he was like they wanted him to meet
Mother Teresa and all that kind of stuff, and he
saw her and you know, she was approaching him and
(12:05):
it was like a living saint was was approaching me.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
And what was I going to do? Goes, Let me
tell you something.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Oh, mother Teresa new showbiz because she shot down, she
sat down and she got into mother Teresa role, you
know what I mean, Like she knew how to use
the the attention, the attention to gather attention to her
causes and Bob Geldolph's cause. At the time, I thought
it was super funny because he was like, man, I
thought a saint was coming to me and all of
a sudden, boom, She's in showbiz mode, which was kind
(12:36):
of cool.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
So again, did you I said this? Did you say?
Six million?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Over six million dollars so far still counting.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I wonder if Garth did songs with George. I don't
know what he did.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
He did they sing the Fireman together. George sung the
Fireman in honor of first responders, sing some of a
few of his other songs as well.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
That's cool, very cool, very cool, and for a good
cause that's George Strait calls you show up.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Oh yeah, right, yes.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Sir, he is he is he the well outside of Willie,
he's got to be the living.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
King of country.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Oh absolutely, anyone bigger, yeah, living, yeah, living, Yeah, because
I was going to say I was going to go
back to the old Wayland Jennings song and Bob Wales
is still the king.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Right, living, living, got to be George and Willie absolutely
without that, don't forget.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
We still got that Miranda Lambert show that's coming to
the Moody to the Moody season the seventeenth of that's
going to be huge, right, and then the one at
the Whitewater Amphitheater is coming up.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
That's with Robert O'Keane, right, that's huge lineup. Yeah, on
the twenty eighth. That's pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (06:42):
We're not a lover anywhere, we're roommate to touch parts
every now and then.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, it was about right, but nothing, I'll never forget it.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Nothing for your love for coming up next.
Speaker 2 (06:59):

We Love? What are we talking about?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
All right?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
We're going to talk about George Strait's huge benefit concert
that he had on Monday night, talk about the huge
surprise guests that showed up, and talk about how a
Texas couple was scammed when trying to buy their tickets.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
All right, stay with us.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Story We Love is next on Austin's Eighties station one
o three point one.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's Eighties
station one oh three point one. Text us at seven
three seven three zero one ninety six hundred.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Christa's got the Story We Love In just a moment,
and not to bum everybody out, but did you see
the kind of sad news about at a camp mystic
that last camper that they have not found as an Austin.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Girl another Austin night. It's hard, yeah, awful. That whole
story is just heartbreaking.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And I don't know how those reporters do that sometimes,
you know what I mean, When you get that assignment
to go and cover that, I don't know, it would
be life changing definitely would definitely, So it's kind of sad.
Hopefully they'll be able to locate that camper and give
the family some closure on that whole thing.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
The Stories Wheel host left studio An tell Us.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Levels that's you. In case you don't speak Spands, that's
you Church. I wasn't sure.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
So George Strait had his huge flood relief benefit concert.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
It went down in Bernie, Texas on Monday night.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
That concert has raised over six million dollars and counting
for Hill Country flood relief. Something that I thought was
amazing is a surprise guest Garth Brooks.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
I mean I've never been anywhere where an even B
list surprise guests showed up, much less to Garth Brooks.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
So yeah, that benefit concert was amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I mean I remember talking about surprise appearances. I remember
I was.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
At some show and Bell BIV Devo showed up.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
I was not cool.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Not Garth Brooks, not Garth Brooks.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
No.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
But again, that concert's raised over six million dollars, are
still counting, they're still taking donations. Here's something that's super
sad and the people who did this to this Texas couple.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
In my opinion. There's a special place in hell for them.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
A Texas couple went online they paid ten thousand dollars
for tickets to George Strait's show, only to show up
at the show and found out they had been scammed.
They gave the ten thousand dollars to scammers they had
not bought tickets. The couple said, of course, we're mad
about the money, but really, what we're mad most about
is it the money didn't go to people who needed
(10:03):
it and need help. It went to some scammers who
did such a good job tricking them that they're shocked
that they fell for it.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
We need to bring back as a country for people
that do things like this. We need to bring back
tart and feathering. Yeah, bring that back, and that'll slowly.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Now we all gather in the streets and go shame.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, shame, shame, shame, or yell boom.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I feel like there's nothing worse than that.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
The power of the boom.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Yeah, it's worth so scumbags.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
They raised six million dollars.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I got a feeling that that money will actually get
to the people that need it, unlike the one in California.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Have you seen that mess?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
The fire aid and for the Palisades, one hundred million
dollars raised.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
No one knows where the money is.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Gotten, much of the money, any of the money.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
The people that were homes burned have not gotten any
of the money.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Nothing. It's interesting.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
My wife and I were watching over the weekend a
little bit of that CNN Live Aid series.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
That's awesome. I was watching it too.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Yeah, it's it's fascinating because they raised so much money.
I don't even remember what the total was, but it
was pretty miraculous. But they didn't have a plan for
the distribution and took a lot of scrutiny when they
were just trying to go okay, you know, Bob Geldof
put this together, and everyone was just in the mindset
of raising money, and then when you're sitting there on
(11:33):
a mountain of money, millions and millions of dollars, then
it's like, okay, now what do you do with it properly?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Right?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Whole different animal. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
The funny thing in that, I thought, the funniest thing
in that, I think it's a two or three part thing,
is when Bob Geldof was somewhere, maybe in an airport
or something, and Mother Teresa was there too, and he
said that he was like they wanted him to meet
Mother Teresa and all that kind of stuff, and he
saw her and you know, she was approaching him and
(12:05):
it was like a living saint was was approaching me.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
And what was I going to do? Goes, Let me
tell you something.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Oh, mother Teresa new showbiz because she shot down, she
sat down and she got into mother Teresa role, you
know what I mean, Like she knew how to use
the the attention, the attention to gather attention to her
causes and Bob Geldolph's cause. At the time, I thought
it was super funny because he was like, man, I
thought a saint was coming to me and all of
a sudden, boom, She's in showbiz mode, which was kind
(12:36):
of cool.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
So again, did you I said this? Did you say?
Six million?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Over six million dollars so far still counting.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I wonder if Garth did songs with George. I don't
know what he did.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
He did they sing the Fireman together. George sung the
Fireman in honor of first responders, sing some of a
few of his other songs as well.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
That's cool, very cool, very cool, and for a good
cause that's George Strait calls you show up.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Oh yeah, right, yes.
Speaker 6 (13:04):
Sir, he is he is he the well outside of Willie,
he's got to be the living.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
King of country.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Oh absolutely, anyone bigger, yeah, living, yeah, living, Yeah, because
I was going to say I was going to go
back to the old Wayland Jennings song and Bob Wales
is still the king.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Right, living, living, got to be George and Willie absolutely
without that, don't forget.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
We still got that Miranda Lambert show that's coming to
the Moody to the Moody season the seventeenth of that's
going to be huge, right, and then the one at
the Whitewater Amphitheater is coming up.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
