Speaker 1 (00:00):
You can listen online at one three to one Austin
dot com. All right, well, if you're with us just
a little bit ago, you heard about the complete failure
I had for Valentine's Day with Tricia. So just to
even out the scales a little bit, we're gonna tell
you about the home run that JB hit with his wife.
We'll get to that in just a sec. But don't
(00:20):
forget to grab the podcast version of the show. If
you miss any of it you're ducking out, going into
work or whatever, you're just busy. It's available every single
day on the iHeartRadio app. So JB tell.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Us, well, I think I don't remember how this all unfolded.
I think it's credit to you guys for what I
bought for Valentine's Day, because I did not put a
lot into Valentine's Day.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I'll be honest.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I have put a lot into certain holidays over the
years and had some home runs. I was kind of
mailing it in this year, not gonna lie, And then
you guys brought up something about a chocolate fountain and going.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Going, and I was like, whoa wait, WHOA.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Biggest home run I ever hit was the chocolate fountain,
and you you were kind of off the hook for
Valentine's Day, if I remember right.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I was a little bit off the hook because my
wife had like this some sort of face baking thing done,
and so she's like, I'm not going to be presentable
to go out for the weekend. You know, you do
those things on a Friday knowing that it's going to
be all whatever for a few days, so then you
(01:29):
can go back and act like you just got younger
over the weekend. And so I was somewhat off the hook.
But you guys mentioned something about getting a chocolate fountain.
I was like, what wait, what, Okay, hold on, because
I didn't have a big plan. I didn't have any
reservations or anything like that. And I go on Amazon
(01:49):
and there literally is a twenty nine dollars Amazon chocolate fountain, sheep,
and so that showed up on Thursday, I guess. And
then I went to AGB and got a bunch of like,
you know, milk chocolate morsels from the baking section.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
And literally.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
We had no plans because we weren't going to go
out because of her face condition or whatever. So I'm like,
all right, I got this thing and I pulled out
the chocolate fountain and I put all the chocolate chips
in there, and then I poured a little oat milk
in there to get it going.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
And then once this thing got going, I bought.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I bought, like I did, some apple slices, strawberries, these
little I didn't get pound cake, but I got these
little cinnamon cookies and they're really good. And bananas and
all this stuff to dip into the little chocolate fountain.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, we did not. I had.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I bought a couple of really nice prime steaks for
dinner because I knew we were gonna have dinner. We
didn't even get to dinner really, And I bought a
nice bottle of wine because I like this staying at
home thing, because you know, I mean, anyone knows when
you buy a bottle of wine at dinner, it's one
hundred percent markup, right, So when you start getting into
(03:18):
the really good.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Bottles, like that's ridiculous. So so.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I was like, well, let's just start with dipping some
chocolates and I'll open the bottle of wine. And before
you know it, it was like, yeah, we don't have to
have dinner. And it just went from chocolate dipping to
some Camus red wine, to what you expect to happen
on Valentine's.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Even with the best face. Yeah, what.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
What was her reaction when she saw the chocolate fountain
and all the goodies?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
What? It's funny because she's been trying to avoid sweets
and all that, and man, once she saw that, it.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Was like all in panty dropper naked. Yeah it was
on and great. Yeah it was a big hit.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
And then it's it's so funny because you're this thing
heats up and then it melts and then I'm like.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
How do I clean this thing? And I just throw
it away.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's like like, how could they make a chocolate fountain
that inexpensive? Like God blessed China for something. I mean,
the Chinese made my Valentines. I'm pretty sure of it,
because that thing should have cost five hundred dollars. Right,
it melts chocolate and makes it flow like a river. Okay,
(04:50):
that should be five very willy wonka. No, these Chinese
kids making it for us, God bless them their little
tiny screw driver.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
You just threw it away and get another one next year, right, Yeah,
I'm gonna store this for a year.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Oh, guys, I'm telling you it's the I had. In fact,
I recently I have a video of Tricia that year.
It was a long time ago. The reason I know
it was a long time ago. It was pre boob job.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Oh, definite difference.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yes, yeah, I should find that video of her. When
she saw it for the first time, she was so
dang excited.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
It was great.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Oh got it? Ate all the things I would not
have had. I wouldn't have had dinner either, just like
you guys did.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Right to fill you up?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Oh oh yeah, I like those better than the strawberries.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yeah, in chocolate. I'm eating it right.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Well good, I'm glad, Jenny.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
So you didn't eat the steaks.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
They're still good though, right.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
We had those the next night. Wait a minute, how
how did you remember the chocolate fountain? It was pre
pre boob job Patricia.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Because you saw the video recently.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, I saw the video of her walking into it,
and her boobs were a lot smaller than they are now.
That's how I knew. That's how I put it all.
That was the big tip off.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I didn't know if like her boobs weren't catching all
the dripping chocolate. I thought it was related to the
fountains somehow. No, no, it's like now it catches all
the dripping chocolate, like it catches everything.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Just just the video when she walked inside.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Got you, got you? Gotcha? Yeah, okay, I thought they
weren't after.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Ridiculous. Hey, thanks for being with us, friend. You'd inspect
to hear that this morning, did you. I got to
tell you, I feel pretty fortunate to be here today
because Saturday afternoon, when I was flying into Austin Berkschman
International Airport, I didn't know if I was gonna be
I'll tell you about that in just a second. But
a really weird incident happened at the domain.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
JB. You saw this and sent it to a storebury
what you saw?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, you know, you know they I'm doing the best
to just summarize what I saw, and I could be
a little bit off, but you know how when they're
building stuff in the remodeling stores, they'll put up these
big faux walls, like these aluminum framed walls to block
it all. And at the domain over the weekend, one
(07:30):
of these fell over and just like crushed a bunch
of cars. Yeah, yeah, like it looked bad and Luckily
no one was hurt, which is amazing because had anyone
been walking along that sidewalk, it could be like a
wall just falling on you. Yeah, and so that's all
I know about it. I was like, holy cow, I mean,
(07:52):
pretty miraculous that no one was hurt.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
But it's on the apartment side of the domain on
that you know, beneath well, I guess there's a that's
a lot of areas, but it just collapsed and it
could have killed somebody, like.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
A lot, not just like one section, a whole wall.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah, and crushed probably six or seven cars that were
parked in the spots right in front of the wall.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Like it was a big piece of wall that fell.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Here's the bigger question I have for you, JB. Why
are you following Austin Indians on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
That's opposed to it? I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I must not be following, but it showed up in
my feet Austin Indian. I don't know what that is.
Now I'm dying to know.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
What is the biggest Austin Indians community Uniting Indians of
Austin for food festivals and meat ups. They've got fifty
three thousand followers.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Well, I didn't even Oh I am following that.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, so are five of my other friends. Let's see
who else. Oh, let's see you, Big Ninny is following it.
These are just in an Indian culture in Austin.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
I love some Indian food. Man, Oh, last time I
ate it?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Cha? Yeah, I didn't know I was following this, but yeah,
apparently I am.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
What did you say, Trisia, last time you ate it?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
What?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Last time I ate Indian food? It almost killed me?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Remember we ate at that one restaurant that has since
been shut down. But Sandy had no problems at all.
I was sick for like two weeks.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Well, if you're interested on what's happening in the in
the Indian community in Austin, looks like a good follow
at Austin Indians.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Whipping is in my neighborhood, one of my go to
Indian fusion food classics since I think they opened in
nineteen eighty.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Really, wow, I love Indian food, so do I I
love it.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
We've got an international market that just opened here in
Cedar Park, not far from the house, right at the
corner of the old one eighty three and Brushy Creek.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Actually Yeah, so the CBS used to be it's.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
An old CBS. Now it's a huge international grocery store.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
More of that, because I think in there, I don't
know if it's opened yet. There's supposed to be another
h Mart on Burnett.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Oh really, Oh that's cool.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I don't think it's gonna be as big as the
one out closer to you, guys, lake Line.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
But yeah, more and more of that.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yes, please let me tell you what happened on Saturday.
So last week, if you were listening, I was in Omaha, Nebraska.
My dad got sick. He spent a couple of days
in the hospital, and so I went up there just
to kind of help out. It's not really fair that
my sister has to do all of that, and I
was due for a visit anyway. So I went up
there and hung out for a week, got home, came
on Saturday, and as I'm flying in, I was on
(10:38):
Southwest Airlines and.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
We're approaching the runway.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You know that moment when you're like coming in, you're
ready to land.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
You can see the ground moving underneath you. You can
read the signs that's how close to the grounds you are.
Actually the planes moving, not the ground.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Okay, all right, Well, all of a sudden, I don't know,
maybe I'm guessing maybe five hundred feet from the runway,
All of a sudden, that pilot pulls back and does
a Maverick Pete Maverick Mitchell move and slams on the
brakes and the nose goes straight up in the air.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
We're like, we're going, I mean straight back up.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
He basically aborted the landing, aboarded the landing.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Who and he pitched up, and I was like, whoa.
And so eventually we're just making like all. The pilot
called it a box pattern. Once he finally came on
and said, hey, sorry about that, folks, wanted to let
you know that there was an airplane on our runway
that was refusing to move.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Well, and on the heels of what just happened in Washington,
that's just everyone's on the high alert for sure, right.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
And I was surprised he told us that, and and
two I was like, nice job, you know what I
mean for getting us back up in the air and around.
What was really strange is Tricia and our daughter were
waiting in the cell phone lot.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
And watched it happen. Yeah, we were kidding.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
We were driving to the cell phone lot and Landry
was tracking your phone on that flight rad or your
flight on that flight radar app and we look over
to the right and there's your flight coming in, going descending, descending.
It goes behind the building for a second, and then
all of a sudden, there's another flight.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
It looks like from behind the building going up. And
I go, oh, that.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Wasn't Dad's flight. Because I was driving, I was like,
it was totally your flight. We got it on video,
you almost landing, and then the pilot taking off again, wow,
and brought the landing gear back up.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
We just thought it process doesn't happen more often, or
maybe it does happen, we just don't.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
They don't communicate everything to us. Happened last year.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
And think the video of that was pretty incredible with
the FedEx airplane and the Southwest Airlines airplane at Berstrom,
and it was really.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Close to those I think maybe that was such a
big deal because those planes are so close together. I
think that yours maybe he had plenty of room to
see that guy's not moving and for you to take
off again. Otherwise why would he be so oh, yeah,
we almost hit another plane, you know what I mean.
He was very nonchalant about it, like it wasn't that
big of a deal. I think these were far enough apart.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
But it was a big deal.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I was looking around with everybody else on the airplane,
and I'm like, am I the only one that's noticing
this going on? Yeah, everyone's just buried in their face
and their phones or books or whatever. But anyway, good
job by the crew of that Southwest Airlines flight. I
actually got a NonStop flight from Omaha to Austin. JB.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Oh, Yeah, I didn't know that exists.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
That makes a big difference.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
That makes a huge, huge difference.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
So anyway, they did a good job.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
And for the airport, I mean, it's getting bigger and
bigger and bigger, and they're going to grow towards like
to the middle of the runway that direction. You know,
they're gonna have a whole nother concourse on the other
side of the runway, did you know that.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, it's gonna be gigantic.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, we need and there's more flights. And you know
what I learned JB on Austin Indians on Instagram is
that they're gonna be. There's talks of NonStop flights from
Austin to Asia, like the United Airlines in Alaska area.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
And I get that with all the tech people of course. Yeah,
I mean I have several friends that travel back and
forth to India especially, So yeah, hey.

you guys brought up something about a chocolate fountain and going.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Going, and I was like, whoa wait, WHOA.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Biggest home run I ever hit was the chocolate fountain,
and you you were kind of off the hook for
Valentine's Day, if I remember right.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I was a little bit off the hook because my
wife had like this some sort of face baking thing done,
and so she's like, I'm not going to be presentable
to go out for the weekend. You know, you do

But you guys mentioned something about getting a chocolate fountain.
I was like, what wait, what, Okay, hold on, because
I didn't have a big plan. I didn't have any
reservations or anything like that. And I go on Amazon
(01:49):
and there literally is a twenty nine dollars Amazon chocolate fountain, sheep,
and so that showed up on Thursday, I guess. And
then I went to AGB and got a bunch of like,
you know, milk chocolate morsels from the baking section.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
And literally.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
We had no plans because we weren't going to go

Speaker 2 (02:36):
I bought, like I did, some apple slices, strawberries, these
little I didn't get pound cake, but I got these
little cinnamon cookies and they're really good. And bananas and
all this stuff to dip into the little chocolate fountain.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, we did not. I had.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I bought a couple of really nice prime steaks for
dinner because I knew we were gonna have dinner. We
didn't even get to dinner really, And I bought a
nice bottle of wine because I like this staying at
home thing, because you know, I mean, anyone knows when
you buy a bottle of wine at dinner, it's one
hundred percent markup, right, So when you start getting into
(03:18):
the really good.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Bottles, like that's ridiculous. So so.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I was like, well, let's just start with dipping some
chocolates and I'll open the bottle of wine. And before
you know it, it was like, yeah, we don't have to
have dinner. And it just went from chocolate dipping to
some Camus red wine, to what you expect to happen
on Valentine's.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Even with the best face. Yeah, what.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
What was her reaction when she saw the chocolate fountain
and all the goodies?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
What? It's funny because she's been trying to avoid sweets
and all that, and man, once she saw that, it.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Was like all in panty dropper naked. Yeah it was
on and great. Yeah it was a big hit.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
And then it's it's so funny because you're this thing
heats up and then it melts and then I'm like.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
How do I clean this thing? And I just throw
it away.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's like like, how could they make a chocolate fountain
that inexpensive? Like God blessed China for something. I mean,
the Chinese made my Valentines. I'm pretty sure of it,
because that thing should have cost five hundred dollars. Right,
it melts chocolate and makes it flow like a river. Okay,
(04:50):
that should be five very willy wonka. No, these Chinese
kids making it for us, God bless them their little
tiny screw driver.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
You just threw it away and get another one next year, right, Yeah,
I'm gonna store this for a year.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Oh, guys, I'm telling you it's the I had. In fact,
I recently I have a video of Tricia that year.
It was a long time ago. The reason I know
it was a long time ago. It was pre boob job.

Oh, definite difference.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yes, yeah, I should find that video of her. When

Speaker 2 (09:13):
What?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Last time I ate Indian food? It almost killed me?
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Remember we ate at that one restaurant that has since
been shut down. But Sandy had no problems at all.
I was sick for like two weeks.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Well, if you're interested on what's happening in the in
the Indian community in Austin, looks like a good follow
at Austin Indians.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Whipping is in my neighborhood, one of my go to
Indian fusion food classics since I think they opened in
nineteen eighty.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Really, wow, I love Indian food, so do I I
love it.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
We've got an international market that just opened here in
Cedar Park, not far from the house, right at the
corner of the old one eighty three and Brushy Creek.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Actually Yeah, so the CBS used to be it's.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
An old CBS. Now it's a huge international grocery store.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
More of that, because I think in there, I don't
know if it's opened yet. There's supposed to be another
h Mart on Burnett.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Oh really, Oh that's cool.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
I don't think it's gonna be as big as the
one out closer to you, guys, lake Line.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
But yeah, more and more of that.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yes, please let me tell you what happened on Saturday.
So last week, if you were listening, I was in Omaha, Nebraska.
My dad got sick. He spent a couple of days
in the hospital, and so I went up there just
to kind of help out. It's not really fair that
my sister has to do all of that, and I
was due for a visit anyway. So I went up
there and hung out for a week, got home, came
on Saturday, and as I'm flying in, I was on
(10:38):
Southwest Airlines and.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
We're approaching the runway.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You know that moment when you're like coming in, you're
ready to land.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
You can see the ground moving underneath you. You can
read the signs that's how close to the grounds you are.
Actually the planes moving, not the ground.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Okay, all right, Well, all of a sudden, I don't know,
maybe I'm guessing maybe five hundred feet from the runway,
All of a sudden, that pilot pulls back and does
a Maverick Pete Maverick Mitchell move and slams on the
brakes and the nose goes straight up in the air.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
We're like, we're going, I mean straight back up.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
He basically aborted the landing, aboarded the landing.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Who and he pitched up, and I was like, whoa.
And so eventually we're just making like all. The pilot
called it a box pattern. Once he finally came on
and said, hey, sorry about that, folks, wanted to let
you know that there was an airplane on our runway
that was refusing to move.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Well, and on the heels of what just happened in Washington,
that's just everyone's on the high alert for sure, right.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
And I was surprised he told us that, and and
two I was like, nice job, you know what I
mean for getting us back up in the air and around.
What was really strange is Tricia and our daughter were
waiting in the cell phone lot.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
And watched it happen. Yeah, we were kidding.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
We were driving to the cell phone lot and Landry
was tracking your phone on that flight rad or your
flight on that flight radar app and we look over
to the right and there's your flight coming in, going descending, descending.
It goes behind the building for a second, and then
all of a sudden, there's another flight.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
It looks like from behind the building going up. And
I go, oh, that.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Wasn't Dad's flight. Because I was driving, I was like,
it was totally your flight. We got it on video,
you almost landing, and then the pilot taking off again, wow,
and brought the landing gear back up.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
We just thought it process doesn't happen more often, or
maybe it does happen, we just don't.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
They don't communicate everything to us. Happened last year.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
And think the video of that was pretty incredible with
the FedEx airplane and the Southwest Airlines airplane at Berstrom,
and it was really.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Close to those I think maybe that was such a
big deal because those planes are so close together. I
think that yours maybe he had plenty of room to
see that guy's not moving and for you to take
off again. Otherwise why would he be so oh, yeah,
we almost hit another plane, you know what I mean.
He was very nonchalant about it, like it wasn't that
big of a deal. I think these were far enough apart.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
But it was a big deal.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah it was.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I was looking around with everybody else on the airplane,
and I'm like, am I the only one that's noticing
this going on? Yeah, everyone's just buried in their face
and their phones or books or whatever. But anyway, good
job by the crew of that Southwest Airlines flight. I
actually got a NonStop flight from Omaha to Austin. JB.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Oh, Yeah, I didn't know that exists.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
That makes a big difference.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
That makes a huge, huge difference.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
So anyway, they did a good job.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
And for the airport, I mean, it's getting bigger and
bigger and bigger, and they're going to grow towards like
to the middle of the runway that direction. You know,
they're gonna have a whole nother concourse on the other
side of the runway, did you know that.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah, it's gonna be gigantic.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, we need and there's more flights. And you know
what I learned JB on Austin Indians on Instagram is
that they're gonna be. There's talks of NonStop flights from
Austin to Asia, like the United Airlines in Alaska area.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
And I get that with all the tech people of course. Yeah,
I mean I have several friends that travel back and
forth to India especially, So yeah, hey.
