Speaker 1 (00:00):
Stephen Presley as our guest. Find him on Instagram, TikTok,
(00:03):
YouTube at thunder Pop TV. Talking Hollywood, talking, but first
let's talk burgers and Hank Hill. Apparently Waterburger and Hank
Hill did a deal and people are mad.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, there's a water Burger Hank Hill Burger backlash. Yeah,
so people are mad at Waterburger on social media. So
if we've watched King of the Hill in the past,
the original version of the show, there was a lot
of water Burger in there. It was a favorite hangout
of Hank Hills, and on the new one it pops
up as well. There's kind of a product praise replacement
(00:34):
of water Burger, And so going on right now, I
think through September, there is a Hank Hill Burger at
water Burger. But people are mad because they're saying, first
of all, they're mad because there's this thing, it's basically
the number two double Meat that they've renamed the Hank
Hill Burger. They're saying, why didn't you all try to
do something new and different that come up with a
(00:55):
new burger instead of just rebranding the number two. And
the other thing is people are debating on the social
media threads whether Water Burger has any business doing anything
with King of the Hill because they say, you're not
Texas authentic anymore since you were bought by a Chicago company.
So there's been a lot of backlash for that reason too.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Oh, come on, it's still a Texas company.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It's started in Corpus Christi one hundred years ago or
whatever it was, right, it's been.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Around forever, still originally from Texas.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well, it feels it still feels like Texas, and that
they actually rebuttled on the social threat saying hey we
are our HQ is still in San Antonio.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, maybe they should just take a little pro pain
and douse it with that. And so it smells the
number two smells like pro pain in the Hank Killed Burger. Right, Oh,
the things people find to get upset about that. You've
got a really good life if you're upset over the
Water Burger and Hank Hill for not coming up with
a new burger.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah, yeah, life is rough.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I mean it's terrible, terrible.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
But number two is the double meat you said, Yeah,
it's the double meat.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Eat the Hank Hill Burger.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
And it's gonna be available through until September twenty ninth,
If you do want to go have the Hank Hill.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Burger, I'm craving. That sounds so good, right, right, it's
actually all I'm thinking about it.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
I'm gonna get cheese to that.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Yes, I'm gonna go there. I probably know that I got.
I've got to go. He usually works the morning shift,
so it's more of a taketo run. But there's the
water Burger, you know, the one by Sandy Hamburgers. Yeah,
and the off Barton Springs Road. For there's a young
kid that works there and he's just awesome. Like early
in the morning, he's like, what can I get your brother?
Like he's just all this energy going to be there.
(02:34):
I got you, man, I got you. Can I get
some extra catchup? Oh?
Speaker 5 (02:38):
I got you. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Do you ever want to lean over to that guy
and go you know you're a water Burger, right?
Speaker 6 (02:46):
I love it though, Like all that attitude, somebody's gonna
hire it.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Yes, that's just what I was thinking. That's gonna pay off.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
Someone's going to go through that drive through and go
You ever thought about going into sales, like seriously?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
And that guy could do anything with that attitude.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
When there are customer service people like that with that
attitude or so happy and so helpful.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
I always say, when I have a company, if I
had a company, I'd hired this guy.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
M hmm.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
If you just drove around and just had the pick
of the litter from the places that you normally go
trying to hire somebody, yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
I would that He's good.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
And happened to a friend of mine.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
He was living in Colorado and Colorado Springs and he
was waiting tables and he was just he's an excitable guy.
And guy noticed how much energy he had, and he said, Hey, man,
I own a motel in Austin. Would you like to
come down and manage that motel? And he was like, yeah, sure, right,
(03:41):
And that's how he moved down here in nineteen eighty
six and managed the motel. Is a scary motel right
off of I thirty five in downtown, and it's where
Clifford Antone used to book all of his blues acts
that came in stayed at that motel.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I can't remember the name.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Not a hotel, motel to get the cocaine at a hotel,
a hotel metown.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
But yeah, you're right if you put a little extra
effort into your work, people will notice.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
You know you could. I don't know, it could lead
to something good.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Let's talk a little bit about a show that I'm
watching is really good. I don't know if you guys
have seen it, but Tulsa King. It starres Sylvester Stallone.
It's the classic, classic, classic fish out of water East
Coast mafia lands in Tulsa, Oklahoma and has to make
things happen. But it's a hit. It's a Taylor Sheridan project.
And they're getting another season.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yeah, they're getting another season. It's a third season.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
And you know, a few years ago before Tulsa King started,
Stallone was out there trying to get another Rocky sequel
bade and he couldn't get He couldn't get a green lit.
I mean, if you're Selvester Stallone, you can't get something
green lit? What does that say for everyone else in Hollywood?
But yeah, he wanted to make a new Rocky. This
time he was going to help mentor an undocumented Mexican boxer.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Oh there's the best kind.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Yeah, so he had that was going to be the
primitive customer.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
They're hungry, they don't have anything.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
You know the old joke, right, the lower you are
on the socioeconomic scale, the better boxer.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Using Cardie, was that an Eddie Murphy or a Chris
Rock Chris Rock, Chris Rock, Chris Rocks, Like, yeah, the
lower on the socio economic totem pole?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah, yeah, hungry? Are you better boxer? You are? And
I can't say the punchline on the radio?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, A whole lot of trouble for that.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
But I'm surprised he couldn't get that done.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I couldn't get that done. He still actually hasn't given
up on it. He's still hoping to make that someday.
But in the meantime, he's doing Tulsa King over on
Paramount Plus in the third season. There was a cliffhanger
that was left off on season two, so I'm not
going to give it, you know, give any spoilers there,
but it was pretty exciting. So now people are anticipating
the third season and that one of the new twists
(05:47):
is a new cast member.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Samuel L.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Jackson is going to be joining this season's Tulsa King.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
And this is also another twist. It's going to lead
into his own spinoff.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
King Oh in new Orleans, same formula.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Man.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
When Taylor shared and finds a hit, he's going to
get as many spin offs out of it as he can, right.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Smart strike while you're hot.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Right, It's like all the CSIS and all the Law
and Orders and the FBI's Yeah, well, it seems like
that Lawn Orders has having a resurgence right now.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It's everywhere.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
I think you just think that's happening because it's on
all the time in my room.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Well that and the TikTok dances.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Oh yeah, they pretty funny.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Yeah, my wife's addicted to that show.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
And it's like, how many times have you seen this episode?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Like it doesn't matter. It's something about the feel of it.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
And here's what it drives me nuts about Law and
Order because they have it masterful at a show ending
and wrapping up and launching you into the cook the
next one.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
If you don't even know what happened, I.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Know, and they got you like they you're like, oh
my god, I'm going to watch another.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
There is no break between the end credits of one
and the dun I mean like you're like, well.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Kind of already in it. It can't even go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It's genius.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, so I'm gonna ask you this question, Tricia, who's
the goat the CSI franchise or the Law and Order franchise.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I think Law and Order for sure, and then in
Lawn Order, the Piking Order for me is SVU, and
then Criminal Intent and then their original just Law and Order.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Wow, I think about the stuff I was gonna say.
I have a lot of things I've ranked.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, a lot of TV shows that i'm and and
food items that I've ranked. If ever we need to
have a ranking show. I've got a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Taylor Sheridan, though, Man's cranking it out and I still
laugh because I saw it was at an event that
he was the keynote speaker at and one of his
early movies he had to rename it. It was originally
gonna be I can't remember which one it was, the
one that came out in the theaters, but it was
originally named Cobantia, but he said that the studio said
it sounded like a venereal disease, so they had to
(08:08):
rename it to something else, which I can't remember what
it was. But there's more than one, Taylor Sheridan, I mean,
that's your theory.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
That's my theory.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
There's more than one of them that's writing all this stuff,
because it's not humanly possible for one dude to do
all that.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
No way, there's just no way. He's got a wife
and kids.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
It's got to be just I mean, they know he
knows the formula, he oversees it, he probably outlines it
and has a cast of writers.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
There's no way he's doing Who was the guy that
wrote the West Wing? Oh, he was the guy. He
was hooked on.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
His formula was cocaine. Yeah, that was yes, right, And
I mean he admits it now.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
He just got all fueled up on Bolivian marching powder
and wrote and wrote and wrote.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
He killed him.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Yeah, the newsroom, have y'all seen that?
Speaker 6 (08:58):
I feel stupid. I was just gone to a ants
club smoking clothes.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
TV shows an idiot someone pushing an orange juice on you.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Do you remember that? Oh yeah, taking with the orange alcohol. Right.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
For those of you that went to the World in
Austin back in the day, you know exactly what we're
talking about. Asters Steven over there, he's just a virginal ears.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
The world was on Fifth Street down towards thirty five. Yeah,
down towards where that head shop was. Ye the gas pipe, yep,
right down there, that's where a lot of.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Weird stuff happens. A lot of good things happening, weird things.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Moving right along, Let's talk about Uh. We talked about
Taylor shared in the movie the movie.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, speaking of how many Taylor's sharedans can there possibly
be with all these projects.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
He's got a movie coming out too.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
This one's going to.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Be a combat action flick called Fast. And he's been
trying to make this movie for over ten years. And
when he first tried to get a green lit, he
couldn't get a green lit because of the budget. But
now he's Taylor Sheridan of twenty twenty five, it's a
much different story. You can get anything he wants made.
And now this movie's finally coming out, and it's going
(10:23):
to be a DEEA Black Ops strike, CIA CIA drug
dealer type of thing. No big names, like there's no
Tom Cruises or Brad Pitts in there, but there is
an up and comer Brandon Skellner, who a lot of
people say is a Glenn Palell lookike.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
So this is not new territory for Taylor because he
did Lions as well, which was a CIA.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yeah, yeah, did you watch that?
Speaker 5 (10:46):
I did.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I watched the first season. I don't think I've seen
it in anyone at after that.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I'm just like four or five episodes. It's pretty good.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
It's really good. Nicole Kidman, Yes.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, she's in that. When is this coming out? Stephen?
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I should have the day here and finding that out?
It's coming out very soon, like fall?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I believe. Why is it that some movies we find
out about that are coming out in a couple of months,
and others we find out they're coming out.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
In a couple of years, right, I know the point
of telling us that it's coming out in a couple
of years?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
What are we waiting for right now to come back
on TV? Like there's these all the things streaming, there's
these huge gaps of time between seasons, Like Trisa's a
TV nut. What are you waiting for? Are we talking
about like streaming shows that you can binge?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
So right now?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Our daughter Landry and I just rewatched season four of
Stranger Things. It was three years ago that season four
came out and season five comes out in like two months.
But I mean three years in between four and five.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Do you think they like when they make the first one,
They've got to find out if it's a hit, right,
and then they'll decide to make more.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
I guess we're watching the first half of season two
of Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Oh watching that.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
That wasn't as big of a gap in between, but
more and more. The bigger the gap, you have to
go back and rewatch the be a season or she
have no idea. There's no way to remember everything that happened.
I mean, right, Stephen, you probably know more about the industry.
But sometimes they have a show and they don't even
know if it's going to make it. Then it gets momentum,
then they're like they have to do a certain amount
(12:13):
to syndicate it right to resell it over time, but
they haven't really written I think Ozark was one of
those where they oh, yeah, they're like, what do we
do with this story?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
People love it? Yeah, they didn't know it's going to
be such a big hit.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
And they're scrambling. Lost was like that, yeah, well they
really jump the shark.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I still play Hurley's numbers every week.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
I haven't written down.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Are you a little worried that bad things will happen,
though if it hits, I have that worry in the
back of my head.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I'm just lying, I totally do.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Stephen Presley is our guest. Find him at thunder Pop TV, Instagram,
YouTube and also TikTok still to come. It's been a
tough summer for celebrity deaths. Another one happened this week.
But is there a tie into celebrity deaths in the
time of year, that being summertime?

Stick around?
Speaker 1 (13:00):

about celebrity depths. That's always fun. Also Pee Herman's Bicycle
and Cowboys Dallas Cowboys documentary. But first, have any of
you guys ever stopped. There's on the if you're going
(13:20):
south on three point sixty, right before you cross the bridge,
there's a fruit stand, like fruit drink stand that's set
up that looks delicious.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Every time I try to butch.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Chugs right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Remember I don't know ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
The big thing at bars fifteen years ago was like
pineapple infused vodka, and they had the big things behind
the farang. Yeah, that type of thing. But now they're
making them on the side of the road. Yeah, and
I want to stop so bad. It looks too delicious.
And I would recommend they should throw snow cones in
there too.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Oh God that I feel like that's a whole different
stand Farther down the road.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
I don't think that that's with the free people.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
But speaking of farther down the road, they need a
little marketing. Just put us a little bitty cheap sign
up the road a mile to tell us that you're there.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Got to prepare, right, like BUCkies.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Like BUCkies eighty three miles away is a Bucky you
can hold it?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
BUCkies two hundred miles up the road.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
All of the billboards are BUCkies between Austin and Dallas.
Almost all of them are almost there, not to be
there because they got sukeys.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
I know.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, we just did it a couple of weeks ago.
We stopped on the way up and back.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
What's to stop anybody from selling anything on the side
of the road.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
There's no rules.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
We talked about it on the radio.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
We were real curre.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
This was I mean over a decade ago, because we
were like, how do you how do you just get
to do that? How do you just get to set
up and sell jerky or knives or cow hides or
you know, or Fredericksburg peaches.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
It's like macons. You need some order here.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
There's no regulation, you know.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Can I set up a vintage clothing shop on the
side of the road, so you.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Know how people will not if there's a pot like
at work, They're like, I'm not going to eat that.
You know what those people's houses are like, but you
will stop in a heartbeat on the side of the
road buy and eat or drink anything that's some random
person you've never met has made.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
I can tell these are nice people, Oh okay, and
I can tell them.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
All right, they seem wholesome and you're fine.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yeah, they look it looks I don't know, it just
looks good.

You think the FDA people drive by and they're.
Speaker 1 (15:29):

I mean that, but man, I mean you could get
things I've seen on the side of the road from
five hundred alex cow cow hides, cow hides.

I've seen gulls like longhorn skulls, every big one, sword, flags, flags.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Yeah, watermelons, lots of watermelons.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah. And then your standard beach is pecan and jerky.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Is like the king of the side of the road food.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Can the jerky guy make any money or is he
just you know, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
It's it's one of the somebody tells you your jerky's good,
and you get a little ambitious. It's like, I remember
I got I didn't I didn't save it.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I got this recipe. This is so long ago it was.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
It was some men's magazine that used to be a
big deal in Maxim.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I don't even think it's around anymore.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
And uh, I got this pizza recipe and I made
the dough from scratch and everything, and everyone's like, oh
my god, this is amazing.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
You could sell this.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
And I calculated what I'd have to charge. It'd have
to be a fifty dollar piece of to be profitable.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
It took you four hours to pay take me forever.
Dominoes has got you one in fifteen minutes. I'm a
little slower. I take it five hours, ten minutes. And
it's so hot you can't hold it. I don't know
how Dominoes does it. It's incredible.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yeah, you had to give up your pizza dream. That
was a sad day. I remember that.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
But just one person said it is good, and all
of a sudden, you're like, I'm pizza guy.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Yeah, and then I lost the recipe.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
But that's what jerky guy did, right, Someone told him
his jerky was good. Next thing, you know, he's got
a little pop up tip from Walmart and he is
the road with a cooler full of lone Stars.

remove your stand if you get the hair from out
of your ears that you only see.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
In the car.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Yeah, when the light hits it just right. Same for
chicks with mustaches.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Also they should have deodorant.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
You know, sometimes you're like, crap, I didn't put deodorant
on today.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Pulled over for deodorant many times.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, Tricia is waging g hod on the ladystash.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
She is.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I will not go lightly, I will not go quietly.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It ain't happening, Steven, Let's talk a little bit more
about more things that people know about celebrity deaths.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
We've had quite a few of them.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Latest one was dah from What's Happening.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
We just mentioned her like a couple of days ago,
and then she was in the news that she passed
at age sixty.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah, yeah, too young, Danielle Spencer. She had breast cancer.
She'd been battling best breast cancer for a while. She
passed away. I think she she became a doctor of
some type. I think she was a vet are Okay, Yeah,
so she makes.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Sense because she was a rat hotel mom.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
For those of you who don't remember, she was the
younger sister on What's Happened, and she'd always was blackmailing Rods.
Roger was always always troubled. She always had information and
Roger was a nice guy.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Yeah, she wasn't necessarily mean.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Oh yeah, you didn't like her as a kid because
she was always blowing everything.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Oh she was just a little tattletale. Look, she was right,
But that said it's only sixty years old.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah, there's been a lot of desks this summer is
celebrity deaths. Hul Cogan, Malcolm Jamal Warner, because you know
Ozzy Osbourne, Chuck BANGIONI who who King of the Hill
we talked about earlier.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
They did a tribute for him in this new season.
So somebody deaths.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
A lot of people online have been talking about how
there seems to be a lot of celebrity deaths in
summers in general. Eleven years ago this week we lost
Robin Williams. I remember that one being a big one
eleven years ago.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
I'm so sad about that one.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I think Michael Jackson, Farah Fawcett were summer deaths.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Same, weren't they on the same day day?
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, got so Farah got so overshadowed.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah, Michael, Yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Isn't that something that was just like hours away from me,
hours apart from each other, and you're thinking, Farah Faucet,
she couldn't even have her moment because she dies, and
then right behind her comes like the most famous person
in the war in the world passing away, Michael Jackson.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
And that was quite a deal for the news cycle.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
That day.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
But yeah, a lot of people be speculating is there
something to do with summer deaths in general, with you know,
more people die in the summer. Statistics show there's actually
more deaths in the winter overall, but there are there
are There are statistics also showed that say that hot
weather can cause deaths for people that are already vulnerable.
So heat waves can have something to you know, impact
(20:42):
in that. Also, heat in general seems to raise people's
stress level, and so there can also be a factor
that's placed it as well.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Don't you feel more irritable in the summer. Yeah, honestly, yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
If it's possible for me to be more irritable.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Got a little break from him in the winter, and
it comes roaring back in the summer.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Irritable.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
See, I'm the opposite though personally. You know, you've known
me a long time, Sandy. I get I'm not happy
in the winter. I like, when I heard kids are
going back to school. In my mind, I'm like, oh,
summer is going to end. Of course, summer doesn't end
until November. Yeah, but man, I just get bombed in
the winter.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I'm always ready for the days to get shorter than
the days to get longer when that happens, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Yeah, like the change, the feel of the shift in
the day when it gets darker and lighter earlier and later.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
I love that people complain about it all the time.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I just love pumpkins spicy.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Yes, I can't wait it happens like Starbucks.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Started their fall pumpkin spice lattee like in July. Yeah, nonsense,
I'm even drinking it makes me bad July.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
I think they have to do it kind of nationally, right, yeah,
or you know, the same day kind of do the rollout.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I don't know much about that.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I think that if your husband is excited about pumpkin spice, no,
he's probably gonna have a new Husband's a good theory.
Moving right along, let's talk about Pee Wee Herman's bicycle
(22:24):
in San Frantonio. And I'm gonna tell you when when
Stephen gets done, i will tell you one of the
things JB said to me that has probably made me
laugh harder than anything I've ever laughed at before in
my life. And it happened in San Antonio. All right,
let's talk about Pee Herman's bike.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah, so Pee Wee's Herman's Bike is now on display
at the Alamo where it was the bike was made
most famous for his pit stop at the Alamo. Now
you can go see it, and it's currently commemorating the
forty fans anniversary of Pee Wee's Big Adventure. So, and
that's a popular scene in the movie, is when he
stops at the Alamo. Of course people have seen the
(23:04):
movie know that. Now it will be there temporarily through
the fall late fall. Then it's going to come back
and it's going to be part of a it's going
to have a permanent home in what they're calling the
Maze Family Legacy.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Gallery at the Alamo. At the Alamo.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
So, if anybody's been in San Antonio downtown, we were
just there about a month ago. There's a huge renovation
going on that street that's in front of the Alamo.
I can't wait to see what it's going to look
like because there's it's a pretty massive overhaul.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Really.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah, the whole street is closed right now and there's
a lot of like construction noise going on and they've
got barricades up. So I think it's going to be
maybe it looks like it's going to be redune as
a walk uple street where you can kind of walk
around and enjoy maybe other things that are historic involving
the Alamo.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
I feel like they.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Got to do something to make it a little more interesting, right, Yeah,
it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
It's just so small.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
It's just so small more.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I swear this was twenty years ago and I still
remember it, and I still laugh. I'm with JB. I'm
in San Antonio and we're at the Alamo. Right, We're
just look, we're there at the Alamo.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Just take it out.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
And JB goes me, he goes, God, Texans, we were
just stupid at the Battle of the Alamo.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
What a bunch of idiots they lost. And I'm like,
all right, where's this going?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
And JB goes, why didn't they just go on the
top of the Hilton and shooting down down?
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Again?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Cracks me up.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Why didn't they just go to the top of the
Hilton and shooting down.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
I think it's a higher.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
They would have been so much more protected.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Idiots, idiots, they would have never figured out that rotating door.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
They would have not gotten man.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Finally, as Stephen Presley, our guest at thunder Pop TV,
TikTok YouTube, Instagram. Let's talk about the documentary. The premiere
of the Dallas Cowboys documentary on a Blue Carpet.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, this will be out August nineteenth for everyone to watch.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
The premiere was this week.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
They just had the premiere in Hollywood and they had
they kept media kept calling it the I'm glad you
called it the blue carpet because everybody kept calling it
the red carpet. I said, no, it's the blue carpet premiere.
It's the Cowboys. Said yes, it is a blue carpet.
But everybody was there as a who's who of Dallas Cowboys, Jerry,
the Jones family of course, Jerry Steven and the rest
(25:37):
of the Jones family, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith on the
Blue Carpet. So this is going to be a ten
part series on Netflix, and you know, it's probably going
to be pretty if you're a Cowboys fan, I'm sure
it's gonna be pretty entertaining to watch it. There'd be
a lot of things and maybe some footage you've never
seen before. But if they really were able to show
everything that was going on in the nineties with the Cowboys,
(25:57):
you know, Troy been set himself this Stories with Michael Irvin.
He said an interview recently. He said, the Stories with
Michael Irvin could be a movie. Really, that's a movie
just by itself. Some of the stuff he's like, you
couldn't even believe. Some of the things that happened are
actually bigger than a movie.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
The players back then, a group of them had a
place called the White House where they had their own house.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
That was just they knew about that.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
They all lived at.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Yeah, they do on jets. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
So there's gonna be people, you know, NFL franchise towns
like and they're gonna see this Cowboys documentary and they're
in Buffalo and they're like, how come we don't have one.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Because you're in Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah, that's why Pittsburgh they're going to be mad, the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
How can we didn't get it? Doctor because you're in.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
Pittsburgh in a gold standard. Yes, it's just undeniable. Same
thing New York Yankees exactly. I'm sorry, you know it,
socks cubs. It's the Yankees are the gold standard. Exactly.
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Well that's it. Do us a solid and copy and
paste the link of this episode and send it to
a friend or two.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Thanks for listening.
Stephen Presley as our guest. Find him on Instagram, TikTok,
(00:03):
YouTube at thunder Pop TV. Talking Hollywood, talking, but first
let's talk burgers and Hank Hill. Apparently Waterburger and Hank
Hill did a deal and people are mad.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, there's a water Burger Hank Hill Burger backlash. Yeah,
so people are mad at Waterburger on social media. So
if we've watched King of the Hill in the past,
the original version of the show, there was a lot
of water Burger in there. It was a favorite hangout
of Hank Hills, and on the new one it pops
up as well. There's kind of a product praise replacement
(00:34):
of water Burger, And so going on right now, I
think through September, there is a Hank Hill Burger at
water Burger. But people are mad because they're saying, first
of all, they're mad because there's this thing, it's basically
the number two double Meat that they've renamed the Hank
Hill Burger. They're saying, why didn't you all try to
do something new and different that come up with a
(00:55):
new burger instead of just rebranding the number two. And
the other thing is people are debating on the social
media threads whether Water Burger has any business doing anything
with King of the Hill because they say, you're not
Texas authentic anymore since you were bought by a Chicago company.
So there's been a lot of backlash for that reason too.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Oh, come on, it's still a Texas company.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It's started in Corpus Christi one hundred years ago or
whatever it was, right, it's been.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Around forever, still originally from Texas.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well, it feels it still feels like Texas, and that
they actually rebuttled on the social threat saying hey we
are our HQ is still in San Antonio.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, maybe they should just take a little pro pain
and douse it with that. And so it smells the
number two smells like pro pain in the Hank Killed Burger. Right, Oh,
the things people find to get upset about that. You've
got a really good life if you're upset over the
Water Burger and Hank Hill for not coming up with
a new burger.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah, yeah, life is rough.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
I mean it's terrible, terrible.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
But number two is the double meat you said, Yeah,
it's the double meat.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Eat the Hank Hill Burger.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
And it's gonna be available through until September twenty ninth,
If you do want to go have the Hank Hill.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Burger, I'm craving. That sounds so good, right, right, it's
actually all I'm thinking about it.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
I'm gonna get cheese to that.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Yes, I'm gonna go there. I probably know that I got.
I've got to go. He usually works the morning shift,
so it's more of a taketo run. But there's the
water Burger, you know, the one by Sandy Hamburgers. Yeah,
and the off Barton Springs Road. For there's a young
kid that works there and he's just awesome. Like early
in the morning, he's like, what can I get your brother?
Like he's just all this energy going to be there.
(02:34):
I got you, man, I got you. Can I get
some extra catchup? Oh?
Speaker 5 (02:38):
I got you. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Do you ever want to lean over to that guy
and go you know you're a water Burger, right?
Speaker 6 (02:46):
I love it though, Like all that attitude, somebody's gonna
hire it.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Yes, that's just what I was thinking. That's gonna pay off.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
Someone's going to go through that drive through and go
You ever thought about going into sales, like seriously?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
And that guy could do anything with that attitude.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
When there are customer service people like that with that
attitude or so happy and so helpful.
Speaker 5 (03:06):
I always say, when I have a company, if I
had a company, I'd hired this guy.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
M hmm.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
If you just drove around and just had the pick
of the litter from the places that you normally go
trying to hire somebody, yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
I would that He's good.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
And happened to a friend of mine.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
He was living in Colorado and Colorado Springs and he
was waiting tables and he was just he's an excitable guy.
And guy noticed how much energy he had, and he said, Hey, man,
I own a motel in Austin. Would you like to
come down and manage that motel? And he was like, yeah, sure, right,
(03:41):
And that's how he moved down here in nineteen eighty
six and managed the motel. Is a scary motel right
off of I thirty five in downtown, and it's where
Clifford Antone used to book all of his blues acts
that came in stayed at that motel.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I can't remember the name.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Not a hotel, motel to get the cocaine at a hotel,
a hotel metown.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
But yeah, you're right if you put a little extra
effort into your work, people will notice.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
You know you could. I don't know, it could lead
to something good.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Let's talk a little bit about a show that I'm
watching is really good. I don't know if you guys
have seen it, but Tulsa King. It starres Sylvester Stallone.
It's the classic, classic, classic fish out of water East
Coast mafia lands in Tulsa, Oklahoma and has to make
things happen. But it's a hit. It's a Taylor Sheridan project.
And they're getting another season.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yeah, they're getting another season. It's a third season.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
And you know, a few years ago before Tulsa King started,
Stallone was out there trying to get another Rocky sequel
bade and he couldn't get He couldn't get a green lit.
I mean, if you're Selvester Stallone, you can't get something
green lit? What does that say for everyone else in Hollywood?
But yeah, he wanted to make a new Rocky. This
time he was going to help mentor an undocumented Mexican boxer.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Oh there's the best kind.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Yeah, so he had that was going to be the
primitive customer.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
They're hungry, they don't have anything.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
You know the old joke, right, the lower you are
on the socioeconomic scale, the better boxer.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Using Cardie, was that an Eddie Murphy or a Chris
Rock Chris Rock, Chris Rock, Chris Rocks, Like, yeah, the
lower on the socio economic totem pole?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah, yeah, hungry? Are you better boxer? You are? And
I can't say the punchline on the radio?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, A whole lot of trouble for that.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
But I'm surprised he couldn't get that done.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I couldn't get that done. He still actually hasn't given
up on it. He's still hoping to make that someday.
But in the meantime, he's doing Tulsa King over on
Paramount Plus in the third season. There was a cliffhanger
that was left off on season two, so I'm not
going to give it, you know, give any spoilers there,
but it was pretty exciting. So now people are anticipating
the third season and that one of the new twists
(05:47):
is a new cast member.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Samuel L.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Jackson is going to be joining this season's Tulsa King.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
And this is also another twist. It's going to lead
into his own spinoff.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
King Oh in new Orleans, same formula.
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Man.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
When Taylor shared and finds a hit, he's going to
get as many spin offs out of it as he can, right.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Smart strike while you're hot.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Right, It's like all the CSIS and all the Law
and Orders and the FBI's Yeah, well, it seems like
that Lawn Orders has having a resurgence right now.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It's everywhere.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
I think you just think that's happening because it's on
all the time in my room.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Well that and the TikTok dances.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Oh yeah, they pretty funny.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Yeah, my wife's addicted to that show.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
And it's like, how many times have you seen this episode?
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Like it doesn't matter. It's something about the feel of it.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
And here's what it drives me nuts about Law and
Order because they have it masterful at a show ending
and wrapping up and launching you into the cook the
next one.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
If you don't even know what happened, I.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Know, and they got you like they you're like, oh
my god, I'm going to watch another.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
There is no break between the end credits of one
and the dun I mean like you're like, well.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
Kind of already in it. It can't even go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It's genius.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, so I'm gonna ask you this question, Tricia, who's
the goat the CSI franchise or the Law and Order franchise.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I think Law and Order for sure, and then in
Lawn Order, the Piking Order for me is SVU, and
then Criminal Intent and then their original just Law and Order.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Wow, I think about the stuff I was gonna say.
I have a lot of things I've ranked.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, a lot of TV shows that i'm and and
food items that I've ranked. If ever we need to
have a ranking show. I've got a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Taylor Sheridan, though, Man's cranking it out and I still
laugh because I saw it was at an event that
he was the keynote speaker at and one of his
early movies he had to rename it. It was originally
gonna be I can't remember which one it was, the
one that came out in the theaters, but it was
originally named Cobantia, but he said that the studio said
it sounded like a venereal disease, so they had to
(08:08):
rename it to something else, which I can't remember what
it was. But there's more than one, Taylor Sheridan, I mean,
that's your theory.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
That's my theory.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
There's more than one of them that's writing all this stuff,
because it's not humanly possible for one dude to do
all that.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
No way, there's just no way. He's got a wife
and kids.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
It's got to be just I mean, they know he
knows the formula, he oversees it, he probably outlines it
and has a cast of writers.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
There's no way he's doing Who was the guy that
wrote the West Wing? Oh, he was the guy. He
was hooked on.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
His formula was cocaine. Yeah, that was yes, right, And
I mean he admits it now.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
He just got all fueled up on Bolivian marching powder
and wrote and wrote and wrote.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
He killed him.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Yeah, the newsroom, have y'all seen that?
Speaker 6 (08:58):
I feel stupid. I was just gone to a ants
club smoking clothes.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
TV shows an idiot someone pushing an orange juice on you.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Do you remember that? Oh yeah, taking with the orange alcohol. Right.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
For those of you that went to the World in
Austin back in the day, you know exactly what we're
talking about. Asters Steven over there, he's just a virginal ears.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
The world was on Fifth Street down towards thirty five. Yeah,
down towards where that head shop was. Ye the gas pipe, yep,
right down there, that's where a lot of.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Weird stuff happens. A lot of good things happening, weird things.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Moving right along, Let's talk about Uh. We talked about
Taylor shared in the movie the movie.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, speaking of how many Taylor's sharedans can there possibly
be with all these projects.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
He's got a movie coming out too.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
This one's going to.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Be a combat action flick called Fast. And he's been
trying to make this movie for over ten years. And
when he first tried to get a green lit, he
couldn't get a green lit because of the budget. But
now he's Taylor Sheridan of twenty twenty five, it's a
much different story. You can get anything he wants made.
And now this movie's finally coming out, and it's going
(10:23):
to be a DEEA Black Ops strike, CIA CIA drug
dealer type of thing. No big names, like there's no
Tom Cruises or Brad Pitts in there, but there is
an up and comer Brandon Skellner, who a lot of
people say is a Glenn Palell lookike.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
So this is not new territory for Taylor because he
did Lions as well, which was a CIA.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yeah, yeah, did you watch that?
Speaker 5 (10:46):
I did.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I watched the first season. I don't think I've seen
it in anyone at after that.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I'm just like four or five episodes. It's pretty good.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
It's really good. Nicole Kidman, Yes.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, she's in that. When is this coming out? Stephen?
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I should have the day here and finding that out?
It's coming out very soon, like fall?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I believe. Why is it that some movies we find
out about that are coming out in a couple of months,
and others we find out they're coming out.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
In a couple of years, right, I know the point
of telling us that it's coming out in a couple
of years?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
What are we waiting for right now to come back
on TV? Like there's these all the things streaming, there's
these huge gaps of time between seasons, Like Trisa's a
TV nut. What are you waiting for? Are we talking
about like streaming shows that you can binge?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
So right now?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Our daughter Landry and I just rewatched season four of
Stranger Things. It was three years ago that season four
came out and season five comes out in like two months.
But I mean three years in between four and five.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Do you think they like when they make the first one,
They've got to find out if it's a hit, right,
and then they'll decide to make more.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
I guess we're watching the first half of season two
of Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Oh watching that.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
That wasn't as big of a gap in between, but
more and more. The bigger the gap, you have to
go back and rewatch the be a season or she
have no idea. There's no way to remember everything that happened.
I mean, right, Stephen, you probably know more about the industry.
But sometimes they have a show and they don't even
know if it's going to make it. Then it gets momentum,
then they're like they have to do a certain amount
(12:13):
to syndicate it right to resell it over time, but
they haven't really written I think Ozark was one of
those where they oh, yeah, they're like, what do we
do with this story?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
People love it? Yeah, they didn't know it's going to
be such a big hit.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
And they're scrambling. Lost was like that, yeah, well they
really jump the shark.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I still play Hurley's numbers every week.
Speaker 5 (12:33):
I haven't written down.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Are you a little worried that bad things will happen,
though if it hits, I have that worry in the
back of my head.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I'm just lying, I totally do.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Stephen Presley is our guest. Find him at thunder Pop TV, Instagram,
YouTube and also TikTok still to come. It's been a
tough summer for celebrity deaths. Another one happened this week.
But is there a tie into celebrity deaths in the
time of year, that being summertime?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Stick around?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Stephen will tell us coming up on Austin's Eavy station
one O three point one. All right, where was Steven
In just a second, We're gonna talk a little bit
about celebrity depths. That's always fun. Also Pee Herman's Bicycle
and Cowboys Dallas Cowboys documentary. But first, have any of
you guys ever stopped. There's on the if you're going
(13:20):
south on three point sixty, right before you cross the bridge,
there's a fruit stand, like fruit drink stand that's set
up that looks delicious.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Every time I try to butch.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Chugs right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Remember I don't know ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
The big thing at bars fifteen years ago was like
pineapple infused vodka, and they had the big things behind
the farang. Yeah, that type of thing. But now they're
making them on the side of the road. Yeah, and
I want to stop so bad. It looks too delicious.
And I would recommend they should throw snow cones in
there too.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Oh God that I feel like that's a whole different
stand Farther down the road.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
I don't think that that's with the free people.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
But speaking of farther down the road, they need a
little marketing. Just put us a little bitty cheap sign
up the road a mile to tell us that you're there.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Got to prepare, right, like BUCkies.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Like BUCkies eighty three miles away is a Bucky you
can hold it?
Speaker 3 (14:16):
BUCkies two hundred miles up the road.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
It's amazing.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
All of the billboards are BUCkies between Austin and Dallas.
Almost all of them are almost there, not to be
there because they got sukeys.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
I know.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah, we just did it a couple of weeks ago.
We stopped on the way up and back.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
What's to stop anybody from selling anything on the side
of the road.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
There's no rules.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
We talked about it on the radio.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
We were real curre.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
This was I mean over a decade ago, because we
were like, how do you how do you just get
to do that? How do you just get to set
up and sell jerky or knives or cow hides or
you know, or Fredericksburg peaches.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
It's like macons. You need some order here.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
There's no regulation, you know.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
Can I set up a vintage clothing shop on the
side of the road, so you.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Know how people will not if there's a pot like
at work, They're like, I'm not going to eat that.
You know what those people's houses are like, but you
will stop in a heartbeat on the side of the
road buy and eat or drink anything that's some random
person you've never met has made.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
I can tell these are nice people, Oh okay, and
I can tell them.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
All right, they seem wholesome and you're fine.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Yeah, they look it looks I don't know, it just
looks good.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
You think the FDA people drive by and they're.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
All they don't work on weekends, and the vendors are like, yeah,
I mean that, but man, I mean you could get
things I've seen on the side of the road from
five hundred alex cow cow hides, cow hides.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
I've seen gulls like longhorn skulls, every big one, sword, flags, flags.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Yeah, watermelons, lots of watermelons.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah. And then your standard beach is pecan and jerky.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Is like the king of the side of the road food.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Can the jerky guy make any money or is he
just you know, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
It's it's one of the somebody tells you your jerky's good,
and you get a little ambitious. It's like, I remember
I got I didn't I didn't save it.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I got this recipe. This is so long ago it was.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
It was some men's magazine that used to be a
big deal in Maxim.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I don't even think it's around anymore.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
And uh, I got this pizza recipe and I made
the dough from scratch and everything, and everyone's like, oh
my god, this is amazing.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
You could sell this.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
And I calculated what I'd have to charge. It'd have
to be a fifty dollar piece of to be profitable.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
It took you four hours to pay take me forever.
Dominoes has got you one in fifteen minutes. I'm a
little slower. I take it five hours, ten minutes. And
it's so hot you can't hold it. I don't know
how Dominoes does it. It's incredible.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yeah, you had to give up your pizza dream. That
was a sad day. I remember that.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
But just one person said it is good, and all
of a sudden, you're like, I'm pizza guy.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Yeah, and then I lost the recipe.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
But that's what jerky guy did, right, Someone told him
his jerky was good. Next thing, you know, he's got
a little pop up tip from Walmart and he is
the road with a cooler full of lone Stars.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
What jew we want on the side of the road.
Fresh underpants.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Maybe you never know when you might need him.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I have had a moment and that still apparent you
that clean underwear.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
There's times I needed.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
That guy, absolutely absolutely needed them.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Other things that you need on the side of the road.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Power cable, like just charging cable for you. Something to
remove your stand if you get the hair from out
of your ears that you only see.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
In the car.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Yeah, when the light hits it just right. Same for
chicks with mustaches.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Also they should have deodorant.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
You know, sometimes you're like, crap, I didn't put deodorant
on today.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Pulled over for deodorant many times.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, Tricia is waging g hod on the ladystash.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
She is.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
I will not go lightly, I will not go quietly.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
It ain't happening, Steven, Let's talk a little bit more
about more things that people know about celebrity deaths.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
We've had quite a few of them.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Latest one was dah from What's Happening.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
We just mentioned her like a couple of days ago,
and then she was in the news that she passed
at age sixty.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah, yeah, too young, Danielle Spencer. She had breast cancer.
She'd been battling best breast cancer for a while. She
passed away. I think she she became a doctor of
some type. I think she was a vet are Okay, Yeah,
so she makes.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Sense because she was a rat hotel mom.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
For those of you who don't remember, she was the
younger sister on What's Happened, and she'd always was blackmailing Rods.
Roger was always always troubled. She always had information and
Roger was a nice guy.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Yeah, she wasn't necessarily mean.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Oh yeah, you didn't like her as a kid because
she was always blowing everything.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Oh she was just a little tattletale. Look, she was right,
But that said it's only sixty years old.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah, there's been a lot of desks this summer is
celebrity deaths. Hul Cogan, Malcolm Jamal Warner, because you know
Ozzy Osbourne, Chuck BANGIONI who who King of the Hill
we talked about earlier.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
They did a tribute for him in this new season.
So somebody deaths.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
A lot of people online have been talking about how
there seems to be a lot of celebrity deaths in
summers in general. Eleven years ago this week we lost
Robin Williams. I remember that one being a big one
eleven years ago.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
I'm so sad about that one.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I think Michael Jackson, Farah Fawcett were summer deaths.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Same, weren't they on the same day day?
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, got so Farah got so overshadowed.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Yeah, Michael, Yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Isn't that something that was just like hours away from me,
hours apart from each other, and you're thinking, Farah Faucet,
she couldn't even have her moment because she dies, and
then right behind her comes like the most famous person
in the war in the world passing away, Michael Jackson.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
And that was quite a deal for the news cycle.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
That day.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
But yeah, a lot of people be speculating is there
something to do with summer deaths in general, with you know,
more people die in the summer. Statistics show there's actually
more deaths in the winter overall, but there are there
are There are statistics also showed that say that hot
weather can cause deaths for people that are already vulnerable.
So heat waves can have something to you know, impact
(20:42):
in that. Also, heat in general seems to raise people's
stress level, and so there can also be a factor
that's placed it as well.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Don't you feel more irritable in the summer. Yeah, honestly, yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
If it's possible for me to be more irritable.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Got a little break from him in the winter, and
it comes roaring back in the summer.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Irritable.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
See, I'm the opposite though personally. You know, you've known
me a long time, Sandy. I get I'm not happy
in the winter. I like, when I heard kids are
going back to school. In my mind, I'm like, oh,
summer is going to end. Of course, summer doesn't end
until November. Yeah, but man, I just get bombed in
the winter.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I'm always ready for the days to get shorter than
the days to get longer when that happens, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Yeah, like the change, the feel of the shift in
the day when it gets darker and lighter earlier and later.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
I love that people complain about it all the time.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I just love pumpkins spicy.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Yes, I can't wait it happens like Starbucks.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Started their fall pumpkin spice lattee like in July. Yeah, nonsense,
I'm even drinking it makes me bad July.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
I think they have to do it kind of nationally, right, yeah,
or you know, the same day kind of do the rollout.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I don't know much about that.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I think that if your husband is excited about pumpkin spice, no,
he's probably gonna have a new Husband's a good theory.
Moving right along, let's talk about Pee Wee Herman's bicycle
(22:24):
in San Frantonio. And I'm gonna tell you when when
Stephen gets done, i will tell you one of the
things JB said to me that has probably made me
laugh harder than anything I've ever laughed at before in
my life. And it happened in San Antonio. All right,
let's talk about Pee Herman's bike.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Yeah, so Pee Wee's Herman's Bike is now on display
at the Alamo where it was the bike was made
most famous for his pit stop at the Alamo. Now
you can go see it, and it's currently commemorating the
forty fans anniversary of Pee Wee's Big Adventure. So, and
that's a popular scene in the movie, is when he
stops at the Alamo. Of course people have seen the
(23:04):
movie know that. Now it will be there temporarily through
the fall late fall. Then it's going to come back
and it's going to be part of a it's going
to have a permanent home in what they're calling the
Maze Family Legacy.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Gallery at the Alamo. At the Alamo.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
So, if anybody's been in San Antonio downtown, we were
just there about a month ago. There's a huge renovation
going on that street that's in front of the Alamo.
I can't wait to see what it's going to look
like because there's it's a pretty massive overhaul.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Really.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah, the whole street is closed right now and there's
a lot of like construction noise going on and they've
got barricades up. So I think it's going to be
maybe it looks like it's going to be redune as
a walk uple street where you can kind of walk
around and enjoy maybe other things that are historic involving
the Alamo.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
I feel like they.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Got to do something to make it a little more interesting, right, Yeah,
it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
It's just so small.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
It's just so small more.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I swear this was twenty years ago and I still
remember it, and I still laugh. I'm with JB. I'm
in San Antonio and we're at the Alamo. Right, We're
just look, we're there at the Alamo.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
Just take it out.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
And JB goes me, he goes, God, Texans, we were
just stupid at the Battle of the Alamo.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
What a bunch of idiots they lost. And I'm like,
all right, where's this going?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
And JB goes, why didn't they just go on the
top of the Hilton and shooting down down?
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Again?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Cracks me up.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Why didn't they just go to the top of the
Hilton and shooting down.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
I think it's a higher.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
They would have been so much more protected.
Speaker 6 (24:50):
Idiots, idiots, they would have never figured out that rotating door.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
They would have not gotten man.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Finally, as Stephen Presley, our guest at thunder Pop TV,
TikTok YouTube, Instagram. Let's talk about the documentary. The premiere
of the Dallas Cowboys documentary on a Blue Carpet.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, this will be out August nineteenth for everyone to watch.
Speaker 5 (25:15):
The premiere was this week.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
They just had the premiere in Hollywood and they had
they kept media kept calling it the I'm glad you
called it the blue carpet because everybody kept calling it
the red carpet. I said, no, it's the blue carpet premiere.
It's the Cowboys. Said yes, it is a blue carpet.
But everybody was there as a who's who of Dallas Cowboys, Jerry,
the Jones family of course, Jerry Steven and the rest
(25:37):
of the Jones family, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith on the
Blue Carpet. So this is going to be a ten
part series on Netflix, and you know, it's probably going
to be pretty if you're a Cowboys fan, I'm sure
it's gonna be pretty entertaining to watch it. There'd be
a lot of things and maybe some footage you've never
seen before. But if they really were able to show
everything that was going on in the nineties with the Cowboys,
(25:57):
you know, Troy been set himself this Stories with Michael Irvin.
He said an interview recently. He said, the Stories with
Michael Irvin could be a movie. Really, that's a movie
just by itself. Some of the stuff he's like, you
couldn't even believe. Some of the things that happened are
actually bigger than a movie.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
The players back then, a group of them had a
place called the White House where they had their own house.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
That was just they knew about that.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
They all lived at.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Yeah, they do on jets. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
So there's gonna be people, you know, NFL franchise towns
like and they're gonna see this Cowboys documentary and they're
in Buffalo and they're like, how come we don't have one.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Because you're in Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah, that's why Pittsburgh they're going to be mad, the Steelers.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
How can we didn't get it? Doctor because you're in.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
Pittsburgh in a gold standard. Yes, it's just undeniable. Same
thing New York Yankees exactly. I'm sorry, you know it,
socks cubs. It's the Yankees are the gold standard. Exactly.
