Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'd like to win a thousand bucks. We've got a
chance for you. Later this morning, nine o'clock your first Chance,
and every hour after that until five this evening your
first Chance coming shirt show on. It's not just any shirt, friends,
this is special shirt. This is a game day shirt
that JB is ordered for Saturday's Longhorn game.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
You know, I haven't been to a Longhorn game and
dk R in probably fifteen years, maybe more, I don't know,
right I like watching it on TV. I'll be honest,
and I've been to tailgates where they have a big screen.
I'll stay in tailgate going in. But I'm going to
the game this weekend. That's been on a long time.
I'm excited, and you know, and my wife said yes

(00:40):
because some friends offered tickets and she's they're friends that
she wants to hang out with. She's very social, you
know what I mean. That's going to be tough for
me because I'm kind of a loud mouth during a
game and I'm always barking out what should be happening.
But I'll try to contain myself. But I was like, I,
you know, I have a couple of Longhorned teas and

(01:01):
I was like, I got a I got like one hat.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
I'm like, I need to get something new.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
And you know, the Beach Boys are playing, you know,
a version of the Beach Boys. Still kind of a
cool thing. My daughter, by the way, is super geeked out.
I think she's gonna come down just to see that
show of the Beach Boys. He loves its three I know.
So remember years ago you gave me a.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Pet Sounds record and I said, here you go, JB.
This is the greatest album ever made.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
I was not on the Beach Boys bandwagon, and that
is arguably one of the best records ever made. I
just all the harmonizing and stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
It's just grew on.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
It kind of grew on me, and and so yeah,
I definitely can appreciate its place in history, right so
to see even one of them is kind of a
cool thing. And so I was like, I need a
new Longhorn shirt. And I was like, I wonder if
I can find a Hawaiian shirt Longhorn shirt surprisingly online.

(02:06):
There are a lot of that, lot of choices.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
I'll show you the one I picked.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Let's see and here we go. In my wildest dreams,
j B.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Hager would be Hawaiian shirt guy.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
What do you think?

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Let's it's it's Hawaiian r Old producer Tim Puttry would
be really proud of you right now.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
He was a Hawaiian shirt guy.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
It's kind of subtle.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
You know.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
You get up and when you get up close, you go,
oh wait, because there's flowers. There's white flowers, but then
there's also white long horns mixed in it.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
That's amazing. People are going to comment on that all day.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Oh yeah, I'm excited. Yeah, that's a cool shirt. Now
what do you wear with it?

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Just jeans shorts?

Speaker 6 (02:52):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I got to make that call. It's supposed to be
a high of seventy three. I think it's a low seventies,
So it could be jeans and boots with.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Your Hawaiian I know, I know it's sitny mixed messages
there right, But I love the beach to.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
Jump down.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
I don't want to commit to the ranch.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
So this is you know, it's it's even in the
low seventies. Once you get in the stands and eleven o'clock,
the sun is going to be right over us. You
know all that. I don't know if it's gonna be
windy or not. Problem, it's still all the people around
you block the wind. It's going to be toasty. I
think it is going to be a shorts kind of
oh JB and get.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
One for Aaron two and be the matchie match No.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
No no no no no no.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
No, the MATCHI Machi couple. It'd be funny.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
It's funny.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
It's funny that she was kind of stressing for a
minute about it, because you know how women are at
Longhorn games. Yes, they've got the head to toe gear.
They've got a purse with a metal longhorn on it,
They've got ear rings with longhorns. They've got you know,
boots that are specifically I mean, they take it serious.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
It's a big deal.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
But unlike your wife, not any of those women took
a single class at UT but much less graduated from
U T.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
I know my wife was a longhorn.

Speaker 6 (04:24):
You need to go to the Tacoba's Boots.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
Uh little store that's in the in the stadium, remember
or is.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
It lu lu Lukzy did the Longhorn edition boots?

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (04:36):
I think they sell them in the stadium at all
the home games.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
Chili's or Fridays.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Remember the Chili's boots, that's right.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Ones, Yeah, victory on that one.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
I would say, how about boots and shorts?

Speaker 5 (04:56):
You will see that for sure on girls.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
You don't see it on guys.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
Now.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
It's cute on girls though, right Yeah, cowboy boots, little
Daisy dukes.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Maybe it's pretty. It's it's what's above the boots that
really makes the difference. I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
That's your dad Landry.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Dot com.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
You can find us on Facebook search the JB and
Sandy Morning Show. It's Austin's eighty station one o three
point one. Okay, yesterday I shared a few stories about
my my weekend in Las Vegas. But I still have
a couple more than I want to share with you, guys.
That's the great thing about going on trips is you
always end up with fun stuff to talk about on
the radio show. So I went to Las Vegas for

(05:47):
a friend of mine's dad's funeral just to me and
another buddy went and just support our buddy Sam.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
Have I ever told you about Sam's son JB. Michael.
I think so.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
We've talked about that.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yeah, fill everybody in real quick. This is pretty amazing.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
His son, Michael is autistic and he is a he's
a savant, and I don't say that in a negative way.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
If he saw a rain man.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
He's very rain man like and he remembers just about
everything they could tell him. He's very big on numbers
and addresses and maps. And I hadn't seen Michael for
about four years and it was I don't know, maybe
fifteen years ago that I told him my address. He
always wants when he meets you, he wants to know

(06:32):
your address, and he files it away and then the
next time you see him, like I saw him and
I said, hey, Michael, Sandy. He goes hi. He's not
real verbal, but I said, what's my address? And I
told my address fifteen years ago. I never told it
to him again, and he took about five seconds and
right down to the zip code, told me my address.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
And he also and his dad would not mind me
talking about this, because it's amazing. He also has an
obsession with prime numbers, and for the unwashed, a prime
number is only divisible by itself and the number one.
There's no other division that it divides into. And that's

(07:16):
his thing. So he said, Sam his dad said, ask
him to multiply the last four digits of your social
security numbers. So I gave him the number the four numbers, said,
multiply these numbers by each other, tell me the answer,
and then tell me whether or not it's a prime
number or not. So he took about five seconds, and

(07:36):
he gave me the answer of what those four digits
multiplied by each other are, which was astounding. And then
after that he took about another five seconds. Who He's like, prime, Yes,
the prime number. Crazy crazy crazy, anyway, that just makes sense.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Sam found you got your social security from Tricia planet
gave him the numbers.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
It's a solid acts. Of course, me be in somebag
that I am. I said, don't canny count canny count
cards in Vegas, right, we need to get to Caesar's
palace right now you can count cards. So but a
couple of funny things that happened, and so we we

(08:21):
had this. We there was access to this floor at
the hotel Casino. By the way, if you ever go
to Las Vegas, the Palazzo is really really nice and
really well priced as well. It's the sister hotel to
the Venetian right where they have the gondolas and which
has access to the sphere and all that stuff. In fact,
right out my window, I had a great view of
the spear and it was it was, it was pretty amazing.

(08:43):
But they have this this floor that for like thirty
bucks more on your room you can have access to
and they have coffee and they have a Continental breakfast
in the morning, and then they do free cocktails from
fort to seven uh in the afternoon. And so I
went down there by myself and I was having coffee
one morning and just kind of minded my business, watching
my phone and have you ever been around somebody that's

(09:05):
just got a really big personality? And I'll talk to everybody.
There was that guy in the on that floor and
he got a cup of coffee and he turned around
everybody and it was the day of the first game
of the World Series. This guy doesn't is with his wife,
he doesn't know anybody in there, and he says to
the whole room in this really positive, smiling voice, He's like,

(09:27):
all right, gay, first game of the World Series.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Who you guys got tonight? What's going on? He's like,
what do you guys think? He's asking the whole room.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
This this guy got this entire room talking about who
they liked or who they were cheering for in the
world series.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
That's a gift. Yes, I I wish I could be
more like that.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
I was.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
This guy literally lit up a room and he was
this nice, personable guy and got everybody's.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
Like who you like? You like the Dodgers, you like
the Blue Jays, who he's gonna win?

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Blub but going on and on, and he comes to me,
it's like I hate And it was a room full
of Dodger fans like I hate the Dodgers.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
I he just pivoted the whole conversation.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
Yeah, He's like, why do you hate the Dodgers? Why
are you?

Speaker 1 (10:14):
And I told him the whole story of my dad
being a New Yorker and either he loved or hated
the Dodgers in nineteen fifty five, you know what I mean.
And I was taught as a kid, we hate the Dodgers.
So I just thought, Wow, what an amazing guy. This
guy's a salesman. He is rich.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
He's not buying anything, am mind anything.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
This guy asked over in the corner, just like God,
how they sit down.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
I looked at her and She had clearly seen this
guy do this before, like she knew his his routine.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
But it was fun it was and it was funny
and he was great.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
The other funny thing that happened is I mentioned that
they served free cocktails from four until seven o'clock. So
on Thursday of last week, my buddy Marlon and I
went up to this room to watch the football game.
There was a Thursday night NFL football game, which, by
the way, college football starting in Las Vegas at nine

(11:08):
am is reason enough for me to move there. That's
rightness on Saturday mornings. Anyway, we're sitting there, they got
these three cocktails. We've made friends with one of the
guys that works there, his name Scott, and we'd seen
him at breakfast and all that kind of stuff. It
was our first time that like have cocktails, and so
he's like, Sandy, he goes, what are you gonna have?
I said, Scott, I'll tell you what. I go, Shirley

(11:29):
Temple two cherries, and he immediately, without missing a beat,
looks at me. He goes, what do you eight? And
he's eight years old. I goes, I had two cherries.
That's how he Okay, Yeah, special occasion, and he just
laughed about it and we had a good laugh and

(11:51):
then he was like, don't drink anymore. And that's when
Marlon jumps in, my buddy, who's just a funny human being,
and he was like, an he he quit, he quit
ten years ago. I tell him he's proved his point.
He can go ahead. I'm I'm not gonna say anything.
We get it, you can quit, We get it, we understand.

(12:12):
But no, it was just like, what.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
Do you ate?

Speaker 1 (12:17):
I love the look on bartender's faces when I do that.
Sometimes I say, you know what, make it a double?

Speaker 4 (12:24):
Have you had it?

Speaker 2 (12:25):

had one recently. No, I was eight. So where's the
place that makes the dirty drinks?

last night yesterday. And I don't have the story in
front of me, so I can't tell you exactly where
to find him. But it's a play on Our daughter's
friend came over one night, spent the night and was
pouring coffee coffee creamer into a doctor Pepper and they
were calling him dirty Doctor Peppers, and I was like,
in the world, So this is a thing now, and
