station one oh three point one.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Tell him come on the show. Hey, Texans, great job.
We are right up there towards the top when it
comes to states with good sex lives. That's a good thing.
We'll get to that in just a little bit. Thanks

Speaker 4 (00:20):
I'm Sandy and this is Jbctricians here too.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Hi, everybody.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
JB doing the show today from Dallas and went up there.
You have a meeting later on this morning, and you
guys got up there when I'm Friday.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
Yeah, I just had, you know, a quick meeting up
here that I needed to come up for. And my
wife and I were like, oh, let's just go up
for a quick weekend trip week because we met here.
I was doing this stanton Dallas and that's when that's
when we met and our I was in my mid twenties,
she was in her early twenties, which is wild to
think about, right, really, thirty years ago.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah that you wasn't aaron your daughter's age when you
guys met.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Right, Yeah, my daughters. It's funny we talked about that.
My daughter's twenty three now. I think Aaron was about
twenty four when I met her, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
And it's just like we were just kids.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
But we met living in the same apartment complex on
McKinney Avenue, right, which is kind of the uptown area.
It was very new then, so this was in the
mid nineties. It was very new and just kind of
a newer thing in Dallas development. And we had a
good time living there. And so we got a hotel
(01:33):
room at Zaza, which is a hotel right just to
block off McKinney Avenue, that same strip, and you know,
we got up and went for a walk and after
the first night and we just went on a long walk,
like an hour and a half and and and it's
just the whole area is just depressed. Like really all
(01:55):
the rest bars and restaurants are closed. There's all these
empty buildings, all all these empty retail spaces, and we're like,
what happened.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
To this area? Like it was on the on the rise.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
I mean that was a long time ago, mid nineties obviously,
but you know you're talking like.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Hold on, is the hard rock still there? No, No,
that's been gone a long time. Wow. Huh.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Yeah, that the only place, like you would write if
you know, McKinney Avenue. That the only place we wad
Two things we recognized that s and d Oyster Bar
or whatever that's been there forever.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, I know exactly where.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
And bread Winners, which is a baker, Yeah, was still there.
And uh, everything else is just I mean empty, like
that whole area used to be booming and just we
had so much fun and we're like, this is kind
of sad. The hotel was okay, but it just wasn't
the same, you know, right.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yeah, you went back, You're hoping it would be real vibrant,
lots of people, young people, you know.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I'll tell you what though.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
And again I don't mean to spend too much time
talking about Dallas to Austinites.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Because Austinites have very mixed feelings about Dallas.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Right, But when back in the day when we lived here,
you know, one of the cool areas was Lower Greenville,
and we looked it up like blue Goose is gone
weed to that.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Place at the time, that text place, And what about
the Hamburger snuffies?
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Is that there snuffers? I think it still is. We
we didn't have time to hit that, but it did
come up, and uh, the there's now called Lowest Greenville.
So we had one of our dinner reservations. Was it
a you know, like a hip, well reviewed place called Rye.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It was good. We just had some advertisers and drinks
and it's like it's like, well the name kind of
gives away.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
It's lower Lower Greenville, closer down towards Dallas, deep l
in that area, and it's thriving, like it was like
a hip, cool neighborhood strip and full, I mean just
booming with restaurants and bars and stuff like that. A
lot of condos around there. So that was that was
(04:14):
kind of a pleasant surprise. That was not a thing
when we lived here.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
So I want in my head, I'm thinking of like,
what's a neighborhood our place in Austin. Where has that
has happened to or where it would happen to. Is
Fourth and Colorado still a thing? That whole warehouse district
was that?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah, that's still yeah, I'd say that still does pretty well.
Rainy Street didn't hurt it, no, And you know Rainy
Street a lot of those bars closed because that all
got developed into high rises. R You know, there was
a there was a dip in West Sixth Street, like
(04:50):
West West sixth Street was all the rage for a while,
and then there was a dip, and I think it's
kind of back again.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Like west of Congress. Yeah, right, yeah, between there and
right right.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
But uh yeah, it's just I guess Austin's just it's more.
Austin's more concentrated, for one. But everything's just been kind
of booming for twenty years in Austin.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I know, I'm waiting for it to stop. I really am,
like it's slowing down. I'm just like, when is it
going to be too much? Well, I think we've hit that.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
I think it is already too much because it's so
difficult to get around now.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, that's true. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
I think we're just spilling out now into all the
perimeters around Austin.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
You got to tell the story that's funny though, JB,
about when you and Aaron first met. You lived in
the same building and you made a deal if someone
were to if your.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Guys broke up.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Oh yeah, we started dating living in the same building,
and the deal was if we split up, I had
to leave. She was there first because she was there first.
I love that, man. I thought I was such a baller.
Back then, my rent was seven hundred and seventy five
bycks and you.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Made a thousand and fifty a month, right, I was
barely getting back.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I had no car payment, Thank goodness that every penny
went to rent and I had. It was the top floor,
eighth floor, with a view of downtown.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I just thought I was the coolest. I saw that apartment.
It was very small.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Yeah, it was probably a seven hundred square feet yeah,
six hundred square feet.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah. You look back on those times, those were good times, right.
It was simple.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yeah, yeah, one bedroom apartment. You know, just you didn't
known much.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I couldn't believe how neat and tidy JB was really Yeah,
his apartment.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
It's funny you say that Aaron brought it up. I go,
that was pure courtship.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah. I was like, guys, do that in the dated
Well you didn't. You didn't at all, To be honest
with you, I.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Really don't know how that wasn't a red flag. That
didn't make me just turn around and run away.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I don't know that that was my deal.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
I always had my mind, I said, I always want
to have this thing in perfect condition within thirty minutes.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Oh yeah, if I had a date over, you know.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
And then it ended up being her and then we
called her apartment at the storage unit because she was
on the first one. I was on the I had
the cool eighth floor. I probably paid another one hundred
and twenty bucks a month. But who's place to spend
more time at?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
At mine?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Because it was cooler to be on the top floor
looking at downtown.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Gotcha, gotch. Well, I'm sorry, it's not the same, but
it's just it's just.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Yeah, it's just weird. But that's you know, that's I
hope Austin doesn't get like that. It is somewhat. The
difference is Austin always had staple places, true restaurants and bars.
Dallas has always been very fickle and trendy.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah. Yeah, like the whole crowd leaves.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Like if if someone says, and this is before they
use the term influencers, right, but if people started going,
oh yeah, no one goes to uptown and anymore, no
one goes to McKinnie, People will just.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Go, I'm not going there anymore, right, right.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
That's how it is here, Like people can leave in
like a flock at a time, right, and then that
may come back, It may totally. They may open one
or two new places, and then it just becomes all
the rage again.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Really weird. No, it sounds like they got to compete
with Lowess Green Belt for that. Now, right, whist.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Still to come stick around because you want to talk
about someone something all of us were told as children
not to do because it would cause problems.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I tell our daughter, yeah, and you.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Don't need to but our but one guy played the
long game and over fifty years tested it and has
a definitive answer. We'll tell you what it is. Coming
up next on Austin's eighty station one oh three point one.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
This is Austin as it gets.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty
station one o three point one.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Coming up before coming up, just a little bit textans
you're doing good when it comes to your sex life
compared to the rest of the country.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
We'll tell you where we fall in line in just
a moment.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
But first, you know, as kids, we were all told
not to crack our knuckles because that could cause problems. Right,
we wan't to talk about someone playing the long game
to prove it wrong.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
What was it fifty years JB.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yes, I stumbled across the story. This is I don't
know where he lived, but this doctor Donald l Unger
U n G e er if you want to look
it up. Yeah, he wanted to test this theory that
if cracking your knuckles can lead to arthritis, arthritis so over.
For over fifty years, doctor Unger cracked the knuckles on
(09:36):
his left hand twice a day, but.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Never on his right hand.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Now he wanted to test that it would caught, to
see if it would cause arthritis. After five decades, neither
hand showed any signs of arthritis. Doctor Unger was committed.
He won something called the It was the two thousand
and nine LG. Nobel Prize. It's a parody award for
(10:01):
unusual or humorous scientific achievements.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
I don't understand how he popped one hand and not
the other and didn't feel completely off balance.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Right, that's that's a no CD. You're kind of an
no o CD person. Oh, I am for sure. I
am for sure. Symmetry stuff like that, I could no more. Fuck.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
It's yeah, if you like twist and pop your back
one way and don't go the other direction.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Could you imagine what kind of maniac doesn't do the
other side to even it out? Uh, that's crazy. The
doctor under was committed to proving this.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
So it's okay, kids, crack your knuckles all you want.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Trick it fifty years to get the proof though, right,
So funny to me.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I wonder if you just had a reminder every day,
crack your knuckles left hand, left hand only, and only right.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I tell our daughter.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
She tries to, she's trying to be a knuckle cracker,
and I'm like, don't do it.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I'll make your hands look weird, make him really really big.
Here's one of the things. I don't know why I
know this, but you know what that sound is of
your Your knuckles are cracking. It's anovial fluids popping in
your hands through the cracks and crevices in your knuckles
and stuff. It's fluid.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
I just don't know how that could be good for you.
That's surprising that there was no difference between either hand.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Now, can you say, crack away? Folks? It's gross. It
makes my skin crawl. I don't know if I can
do it.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Don't please, don't are you one of the guys who
makes a fist and then pushes in.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Oh, it looks like what you're doing right there. No,
I don't know how you ever.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Do you ever get get a massage and they crack
your knuckles and then they'll pull on your toes and
pop them? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
You know what you just reminded me of. So the
totally changing gears here, but you just reminded me of this.
Can I tell you something, ladies of Austin. It's none
of your business why I'm not wearing my wedding rink
none of your damn business.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
People. So when he asked me.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
In the last couple of weeks of two different women
have said, how can you wearing your wedding ring because.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
They're looking out for their girl tea?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
No, because sometimes my hands swell and it's really uncomfortable.
That's why you knowsy bitch, because it's front of your
damn business.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Does it somehow imply that maybe you're doing something wrong
if you don't have your wedding ring on it?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I don't know, but it's no one's business. I mean,
I just think it's rude to ask. It's like, mind
you worry about yourself, right.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
I don't know it is being nosy, Yeah, very aggressive.
It's one thing if it's a close friend. Yeah, if
it's a close friend.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
But I mean I would say I wear my wedding
band eighty percent of the time.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Twenty percent I just don't.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I take it off because my hand is swelling or something,
and I don't put it back on. And Trician doesn't
have any problem with it. The hell you never rarely
were you'res.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
If you didn't have his onaga. Oh so you're not
married today, that's.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Fine, that's a joke right, Well, not to make you
look bad or anything. That mine has not never come on.
Ah since even in surgeries or anything. No, I always
ask can kind of leave it on? Well, there was
a while when I was heavier there was not coming off.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Oh God, that would give me CLAUSTROPHO. But I would
freak out if I couldn't get it off. Oh but
yeah I could. I could slip it off.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Now I'm a leaner, I'm back to like my marriage weight.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Guys, you two are the ying and the yang. Sandy
takes his off all the time. JB never takes his off.
Yeall are yell are total opposites on so many things.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Somehow it works, I know, somehow.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
I mean some guys have occupations where it literally is
a hazard. Oh yeah, welder or something. I'm not working
on oil rig.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, electric electrician.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
You know, he could probably lose a finger pretty easily
with metal on there.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
You know, that's how Jimmy Fallon jacked up his finger
so bad and was an ICU.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Right. Oh that's right.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
He tripped and went to reach for the counter as
he was falling, and his wedding green got caught on
the side of the counter and practically ripped his finger off.
And that's why if you watch him now, if you look,
his ring finger on his left hand is all zig zaggy.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Really, I know that was a long time ago, but
do you really believe that story like that isn't made
up off the top of your head. Injury to get
in the news something else and my ring got caught.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
There's more to that. You think he's covering something up totally?
Do Yeah? I wonder what it is.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
You know, it's been a long time, but I remember
when that happened. I was like, fell in your ring
got I'm not buying that You called him out.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Wonder what Jimmy's hiding.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Yeah, you know, Jimmy likes, he likes to party, he
likes a little bit.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I don't love about you guys. But if I was
a late night host, I'd be nervous right now. I'd
be really nervous about my job, just because no one
watches the late night shows anymore.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
And the one that got fired coobat Colbert, he was
the one who had the highest ratings.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Yeah, it was losing forty million a year. Yeah, so hey,
we've been fired when we were on top.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
It's all about revenue. Yeah, yeah, it is. So anyway,
I just shouldn't say fire. And I was asked not
to come back. Sandy was invited back.

West West sixth Street was all the rage for a while,
and then there was a dip, and I think it's
kind of back again.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Like west of Congress. Yeah, right, yeah, between there and
right right.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
But uh yeah, it's just I guess Austin's just it's more.
Austin's more concentrated, for one. But everything's just been kind
of booming for twenty years in Austin.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I know, I'm waiting for it to stop. I really am,
like it's slowing down. I'm just like, when is it
going to be too much? Well, I think we've hit that.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
I think it is already too much because it's so
difficult to get around now.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, that's true. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
I think we're just spilling out now into all the
perimeters around Austin.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
You got to tell the story that's funny though, JB,
about when you and Aaron first met. You lived in
the same building and you made a deal if someone
were to if your.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Guys broke up.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Oh yeah, we started dating living in the same building,
and the deal was if we split up, I had
to leave. She was there first because she was there first.
I love that, man. I thought I was such a baller.
Back then, my rent was seven hundred and seventy five
bycks and you.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Made a thousand and fifty a month, right, I was
barely getting back.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I had no car payment, Thank goodness that every penny
went to rent and I had. It was the top floor,
eighth floor, with a view of downtown.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I just thought I was the coolest. I saw that apartment.
It was very small.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Yeah, it was probably a seven hundred square feet yeah,
six hundred square feet.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah. You look back on those times, those were good times, right.
It was simple.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Yeah, yeah, one bedroom apartment. You know, just you didn't
known much.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I couldn't believe how neat and tidy JB was really Yeah,
his apartment.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
It's funny you say that Aaron brought it up. I go,
that was pure courtship.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah. I was like, guys, do that in the dated
Well you didn't. You didn't at all, To be honest
with you, I.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Really don't know how that wasn't a red flag. That
didn't make me just turn around and run away.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I don't know that that was my deal.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
I always had my mind, I said, I always want
to have this thing in perfect condition within thirty minutes.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Oh yeah, if I had a date over, you know.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
And then it ended up being her and then we
called her apartment at the storage unit because she was
on the first one. I was on the I had
the cool eighth floor. I probably paid another one hundred
and twenty bucks a month. But who's place to spend
more time at?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
At mine?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Because it was cooler to be on the top floor
looking at downtown.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Gotcha, gotch. Well, I'm sorry, it's not the same, but
it's just it's just.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Yeah, it's just weird. But that's you know, that's I
hope Austin doesn't get like that. It is somewhat. The
difference is Austin always had staple places, true restaurants and bars.
Dallas has always been very fickle and trendy.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah. Yeah, like the whole crowd leaves.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Like if if someone says, and this is before they
use the term influencers, right, but if people started going,
oh yeah, no one goes to uptown and anymore, no
one goes to McKinnie, People will just.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Go, I'm not going there anymore, right, right.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
That's how it is here, Like people can leave in
like a flock at a time, right, and then that
may come back, It may totally. They may open one
or two new places, and then it just becomes all
the rage again.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Really weird. No, it sounds like they got to compete
with Lowess Green Belt for that. Now, right, whist.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Still to come stick around because you want to talk
about someone something all of us were told as children
not to do because it would cause problems.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I tell our daughter, yeah, and you.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Don't need to but our but one guy played the
long game and over fifty years tested it and has
a definitive answer. We'll tell you what it is. Coming
up next on Austin's eighty station one oh three point one.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
This is Austin as it gets.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty
station one o three point one.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Coming up before coming up, just a little bit textans
you're doing good when it comes to your sex life
compared to the rest of the country.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
We'll tell you where we fall in line in just
a moment.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
But first, you know, as kids, we were all told
not to crack our knuckles because that could cause problems. Right,
we wan't to talk about someone playing the long game
to prove it wrong.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
What was it fifty years JB.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yes, I stumbled across the story. This is I don't
know where he lived, but this doctor Donald l Unger
U n G e er if you want to look
it up. Yeah, he wanted to test this theory that
if cracking your knuckles can lead to arthritis, arthritis so over.
For over fifty years, doctor Unger cracked the knuckles on
(09:36):
his left hand twice a day, but.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Never on his right hand.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Now he wanted to test that it would caught, to
see if it would cause arthritis. After five decades, neither
hand showed any signs of arthritis. Doctor Unger was committed.
He won something called the It was the two thousand
and nine LG. Nobel Prize. It's a parody award for
(10:01):
unusual or humorous scientific achievements.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
I don't understand how he popped one hand and not
the other and didn't feel completely off balance.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Right, that's that's a no CD. You're kind of an
no o CD person. Oh, I am for sure. I
am for sure. Symmetry stuff like that, I could no more. Fuck.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
It's yeah, if you like twist and pop your back
one way and don't go the other direction.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Could you imagine what kind of maniac doesn't do the
other side to even it out? Uh, that's crazy. The
doctor under was committed to proving this.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
So it's okay, kids, crack your knuckles all you want.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Trick it fifty years to get the proof though, right,
So funny to me.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I wonder if you just had a reminder every day,
crack your knuckles left hand, left hand only, and only right.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I tell our daughter.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
She tries to, she's trying to be a knuckle cracker,
and I'm like, don't do it.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I'll make your hands look weird, make him really really big.
Here's one of the things. I don't know why I
know this, but you know what that sound is of
your Your knuckles are cracking. It's anovial fluids popping in
your hands through the cracks and crevices in your knuckles
and stuff. It's fluid.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
I just don't know how that could be good for you.
That's surprising that there was no difference between either hand.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Now, can you say, crack away? Folks? It's gross. It
makes my skin crawl. I don't know if I can
do it.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Don't please, don't are you one of the guys who
makes a fist and then pushes in.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Oh, it looks like what you're doing right there. No,
I don't know how you ever.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Do you ever get get a massage and they crack
your knuckles and then they'll pull on your toes and
pop them? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
You know what you just reminded me of. So the
totally changing gears here, but you just reminded me of this.
Can I tell you something, ladies of Austin. It's none
of your business why I'm not wearing my wedding rink
none of your damn business.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
People. So when he asked me.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
In the last couple of weeks of two different women
have said, how can you wearing your wedding ring because.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
They're looking out for their girl tea?
Speaker 3 (12:02):
No, because sometimes my hands swell and it's really uncomfortable.
That's why you knowsy bitch, because it's front of your
damn business.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Does it somehow imply that maybe you're doing something wrong
if you don't have your wedding ring on it?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
I don't know, but it's no one's business. I mean,
I just think it's rude to ask. It's like, mind
you worry about yourself, right.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
I don't know it is being nosy, Yeah, very aggressive.
It's one thing if it's a close friend. Yeah, if
it's a close friend.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
But I mean I would say I wear my wedding
band eighty percent of the time.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Twenty percent I just don't.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I take it off because my hand is swelling or something,
and I don't put it back on. And Trician doesn't
have any problem with it. The hell you never rarely
were you'res.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
If you didn't have his onaga. Oh so you're not
married today, that's.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Fine, that's a joke right, Well, not to make you
look bad or anything. That mine has not never come on.
Ah since even in surgeries or anything. No, I always
ask can kind of leave it on? Well, there was
a while when I was heavier there was not coming off.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Oh God, that would give me CLAUSTROPHO. But I would
freak out if I couldn't get it off. Oh but
yeah I could. I could slip it off.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Now I'm a leaner, I'm back to like my marriage weight.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
Guys, you two are the ying and the yang. Sandy
takes his off all the time. JB never takes his off.
Yeall are yell are total opposites on so many things.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Somehow it works, I know, somehow.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
I mean some guys have occupations where it literally is
a hazard. Oh yeah, welder or something. I'm not working
on oil rig.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Yeah, electric electrician.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
You know, he could probably lose a finger pretty easily
with metal on there.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
You know, that's how Jimmy Fallon jacked up his finger
so bad and was an ICU.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Right. Oh that's right.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
He tripped and went to reach for the counter as
he was falling, and his wedding green got caught on
the side of the counter and practically ripped his finger off.
And that's why if you watch him now, if you look,
his ring finger on his left hand is all zig zaggy.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Really, I know that was a long time ago, but
do you really believe that story like that isn't made
up off the top of your head. Injury to get
in the news something else and my ring got caught.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
There's more to that. You think he's covering something up totally?
Do Yeah? I wonder what it is.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
You know, it's been a long time, but I remember
when that happened. I was like, fell in your ring
got I'm not buying that You called him out.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Wonder what Jimmy's hiding.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Yeah, you know, Jimmy likes, he likes to party, he
likes a little bit.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I don't love about you guys. But if I was
a late night host, I'd be nervous right now. I'd
be really nervous about my job, just because no one
watches the late night shows anymore.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
And the one that got fired coobat Colbert, he was
the one who had the highest ratings.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Yeah, it was losing forty million a year. Yeah, so hey,
we've been fired when we were on top.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
It's all about revenue. Yeah, yeah, it is. So anyway,
I just shouldn't say fire. And I was asked not
to come back. Sandy was invited back.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
