Sounded so good. One three one Austin dot com. It's

Speaker 2 (00:14):
You can listen online at one three to one Austin
dot com. All right, let's get this thing going. Thanks
for being with us. It is the JBN Sandy. Our
mind names Sandy. This is JB Hello, interest us here,
Hi everybody. Oh and we're really loud. Oh sorry, maybe
that's just your loud voice. I'm not sure. Thanks for
being with us. And some stuff that's happening. This week's

(00:37):
actually started last week, but the Moontower Comedy Festival is
going on and it's wrapping up this weekend. I believe
it's the last weekend of it. Actually, no, yeah, it is.
This weekend is the last weekend of it. That's a
festival that's grown and grown and grown and really benefited
from Austin kind of becoming or maybe they're part of
the growth of Austin becoming a hot spot for comedy,

(00:58):
for stand up comedy.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
It's true.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
It's I feel like Joe Rogan has taken full credit
for the comedy scene here.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
He has been a big part of it.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
However, this comedy fest has been around, does it say
how many years is? I think it's got to be
close to fifteen now, Yeah, ten to fifteen is what
I would, Yeah, something like that. But yeah, it's it's huge.
I've had snuck up on me. I forgot about it.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
But yeah, I think we're saying maybe Rogan is you know,
getting the credit, but because of his platform, you know,
and then he is a stand up comic. But it's
been growing and growing in Austin for a while and
I still I've been saying this for years and it's
it's like just like every year when I say I
want to go to a Longhorn baseball game or around
Rock Express game before it gets too hot, and I
never do it. I think everyone says that. Actually a

(01:45):
couple of years ago we did, remember twest we went
to around Rock Express game, like in late April before
it got too hot. But I want to go out
and check out the open mic nights, the first stand
up just go watch, right, because there's much of him now, Yeah,
those people have my admiration.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yeah, that's not easy.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Another cool thing. And it's been a while. It's been
ten years since I had this conversation with the guy
that runs the Paramount Theater. His name's Jim Ritz. And
I assume that's still the deal with Moontower Comedy. But
that was started as a fundraiser. Remember it was Remember
the Paramount and State Theater were always on the brink

(02:27):
of closing.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Always true, that's true.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
And they started that comedy fest and the money generated
is to support those theaters.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
I didn't know that. I didn't either.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
I don't know what percentage or how that all lays out,
but that was the origin of it. I assume it's
still the same. But you haven't heard that in a while, like,
oh god, the Paramount's gonna close.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Right yeah, always on the brink.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Maybe that's because the money generating from the festival.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
That's cool, exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Also, this weekend, the eighteenth through the twentieth, Austin Reggae
Fest is happening at Auditorium Chores. Nothing says happy Easter
like a reggae festival, right, Nothing says good Friday like
a reggae festival. But it's all good. It's a fundraisers
it has been forever for the Capital area food break
bank and a cool cool hang if you want.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
To it's it's a it's like a cash ticket now
used right, It used to be. Yeah, you show up
with a can good, you know, like anybody. What happens
when they don't? You grab the p's that you that
have been in your pantry for a decade?

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah, you donate them.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
And there there used to be too uh used to
be the Bob Marley fest right and I know yeah,
And they couldn't legally use that name. And then it
split up. The partners who started split and there were
two of them. They're to Bob Marley festivals right one,
which is ironic because Bob Marley was known for bringing

(03:56):
everybody together.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah, community, it's kind of funny.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
I mean, just by pure coincidence, I happened to keep
right here on my desk a picture of me and
my buddy Brock personal love for those of you longtime listeners,
cheeseburger Brock. And this is a photo from him and I.
I think it was at the Bob Marley festival and
probably nineteen ninety nine or ninety eight something like that.

Speaker 5 (04:20):
Can you see that it probably if you look really
close at all the people back there in the back.
Somebody's holding a snake. I'm really scan back there, or
three like a dog.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
I'm just looking at the backdrop of Austin from Zilker Park.
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 5 (04:36):
Unrecognizable now, Yeah, it's crazy to look at.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah, it's like two tall buildings. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
My buddy from middle school in high school, his dad
was real active in Aquifest, the car races that they
would run around Parmer. Yes, folks, they used to race
boats on Lake Austin. They used to race cars and
go karts and motorcycles up and down riverside and some of.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
Those old photos you just go, oh my god.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
I forget that used to look like yeah, yeahs I
still have some of my Aquifest pins because when you
got in you got the skipper wheel sipper pan that
you pinned on your shirt that was like your wristband.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I was all the time.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
And then they were what did they call the because
a girl I did in high school her dad was
doing and they'd walk around looking like Merle Steubing from
The Love Boat Captain.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Stud Captains or something.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Yeah, it was like there was this this VIP level
and they would dress like they were the captain of
the love boat.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
But shorts. Yeah, it was fun. I totally remember that
one high school. The one time I went to aquifest.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
I just remembered leaving and I had dirt rings around
my nose yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
And around my mouth because it was just dirty.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
By the end of it, there was no grass left. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, crazy. So those are some stuff that's happening this weekend.
JB motivated me to do something, and I did it
last week. I'll go ahead and tell you what it
is right now and just rip the bandage off if
you will.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
I got my back waxed, Oh he did. It's not
that bad. Nah, it wasn't too bad. I would it's it's.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
Pretty remarkable, how fat. It's not comfortable, but it's not painful.
It's just it's not unbearable. It's just uncomfortable just for
a minute.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah, it's just it's very well pushed. Sure you've had
your back wax. I had other parts waxed.

Speaker 5 (06:37):
I'm assuming it hurts less on your back than it
does in the parts I've had done.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
So I'd like to shout out to the European Wax
Center in Cedar Park.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
They did my nostrils, my back, and they taking a
step further, like I didn't get your back. No, that crack,
I asked him, if he's going to do it. No.
In fact, my girl, Denise, she doesn't do that for dudes.
She drew the line. Yeah, I got a hook up
if you need it. You wouldn't you like that? A

(07:07):
nice smooth bottom? You know what's nothing better? Courtesy? That's
all I'm saying. It's appreciated. That's the next step.

Speaker 5 (07:17):
The worst part about it is the position you have
to put your body in order for them to be
able to access that part. That's the most the uncomfortable
part of that whole process.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Don't you just lay on your side and like the
fetal position, Yeah, that's what you do it yours JB.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
They have you land your on your back at mine
and bring to your ears.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Well, yeah, if you're doing the frontal area, yeah, it's
all it's all right there, I'm sure.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
I don't know. I just do the back, yeah, the bottom.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Well, the guy that did did my back, she was
very funny and get her name was Denise, a European
wax center, and she was talking about something and basically
she's one of those people just she says whatever, you know,
she doesn't give a damn. And she says like I
don't give a damn. You can't offend me either. She goes, hell,
I look, buttholes for a living.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
I can't. You know, there's so matter of fact about it.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
They're just it's it's work, and they're just cranking like, yeah,
you know what I mean, it's fast.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
I feel they need to chit chat when I go in, like, hey,
what's up?

Speaker 3 (08:14):
What do you do? Like comfortable conversation right to try
and make it not so uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
I couldn't believe how much I sweat when I got
off the table. They have that paper that's on the
table and my chest laid on my chest, that paper
was soaked. Yeah, when I got off, I had no idea,
And Tricia said the pretty common You sweated right to it.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
It stuck to your butt, right, Oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
When I would sit up, the paper was just all
stick down my back.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
They'd have to get it off. I mean, it's it's
it's a.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
Painful process for a minute. It makes you sweat. And
that doctor paper that they pull over the table, I
mean it just sticks right to you. But it's worth it, right,
Do you like it?

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah? Thanks for the motivation.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
JB appreciate it, and I was glad they they rip
it and then they just put their hand on it
a little bit right, It could be okay. But what
was really funny As I got to the end of
it and it was done, and Denise goes, congratulations, you're
now a girl, I was like, is that all it takes?

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Hell? I didn't know it was so easy. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
I was so motivated to do it because I'm I'm
always driving a boat for my daughter and she has
her wakes off school and I'm her last resort driver,
which seems to happen way too often. You're her driver,
and I'm like, They're all they're seeing is.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
My back all day? Yeah? Yeah I can. Yeah. I
got to make this look as good as possible.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
I my motivation was to get it done because I
was afraid that there'd be a book bigfoot Hunting in
Texas and I would be targeted.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
That's done.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Hey, coming up on the show around seven twenty five.

It felt as far north as Leander. Yeah, we'll get
into it. Stay with us.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
The Story we Love coming up on Austin's eighties station

Northwest Austin kind of in the Balconies country Club area.
That's coming up in just a moment. You don't forget that.

stay with us. That's coming up. The story's Wheelah Lana
last your whole studio. Here's Tricia Delicia. Such a hack.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
I know, I'm still not Houston. I did so well
last for like a week in waiting. I apologize. I'm
still learning, y'all, baby DJ, All right, what you got?
Around eleven twenty yesterday morning, a lot of people called
in saying they heard a loud explosion in the northwest
Austin area.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Austin Fire Department responded.

Speaker 5 (11:41):
EMS responded a house had exploded and was completely leveled.
A bunch of houses around it were damaged as well.
I know for a fact that I was at home
at that time and I heard the boom in Cedar Park.
Some people saying as far as Leander, as north as
Leanda that they heard it, and.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
As south is okill as okill.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
Yeah, rattled some stuff on the walls in our house.
And it turns out that six people were injured, four
people in the house. One person was pulled out when
they arrived on seeing three other people were taking out
some critical.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Some explosion by in the house.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
Yes, two firefighters had minor injuries. But they have said
that there was no natural gas connected to that house,
so it's not a gas explosion.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
That would have been my first guess. That's absolutely the
first guess.

Speaker 5 (12:38):
At this point, we haven't been updated as to what
caused the explosion, but the house is leveled, a two
story house completely Okay.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Now I'm dying to know what would cause Well, A redditor,
I don't take it for what it's worth. A comment
on Reddit take that for what's worth said that they
afraid of theirs, had put a bid an offer in
on that house, withdrew the bid when they found out
that the septic tank. And I have a tough time
believe in that neighborhood's on septic, but that it needs

(13:07):
it needed tens of thousands of dollars worth of repair.
I don't know if septic can build up gas. And oh,
I think it can cause an explosion. But I mean again,
just a reddit or said.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
That it was kind of one eighty three and McNeil correct, Yeah,
Spice would win eighty three. Yeah, that area back.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
There, Okay, it was on I believe broken Spur was
the name of the street's double spur.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
I know where that is.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Yeah, if you go on the Spice would side, because
going north is McNeil. If you go on the other side,
well north, you know what I mean because they say
one A three is north and stuff, but it's really
going west. But yeah, you go down to because I
went to high school in that area, so I know
I know that area. Well, if you went down Spice
would and take you could take a left on that

(13:57):
whatever spur.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
It's it's not far off of one ay three idea.
There's a middle school I think right by it too. Yeah,
I'm not sure the name of that school. I can't remember,
but I mean that's a hell of a way to
wake up on a Sunday, han't it. Eleven eleven twenty
in the morning. Your neighbors and a house next to
us pretty damaged too.

Speaker 5 (14:16):
Oh yeah, around like cars, windows and stuff damaged to
garage doors, looks like somebody kicked them in from the explosion.
I just can't imagine how loud it was right in
that immediate vicinity. If it startled me six and a
half miles away, I mean, I think that's incredible.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
But dying the cause was oh yeah, definitely, no idea.
But they will figure it out, you know.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
It's I'm always impressed and amazed by like fire, the
people that go in and fire investigators and they figure
out how it started.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
How do you do that?

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Everything around is burnt or exploded or whatever, but you
figure out how it all started. So I'll let us know,
and hopefully the people that they pulled out of there
are going to be okay, right, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (15:04):
It sounds like everybody's going to be fine. A couple
of them are in critical condition.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
And let you know, this might be a good reminder
for you too to check your carbon monoxide even I
know this was not a carbon monoxide thing, but that'll
kill you carbon monoxide. And Tricia and I had a
scare with that once. I know, JB. You guys did
it too. Yeah, And so if you have them, check them,
make sure they're working. And then if you don't have them,
you can run to home depot or have one today,

(15:28):
or or to one on Amazon and have one tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
Right, it doesn't have to be wired to your house. Now,
the batteries are cheap. Slapping on this, I mean easy,
it's not worth it.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
Yeah, and they are saying the Texas Gas Service wants
to remind everybody that if you smell natural gas, you
leave the area immediately and you call the Texas Gas
Service emergency line. There again, they're not saying that this
was a gas issue, but of course it's just time
to remind people what to do. Get out, don't hang
around and call somebody after you've left.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
All right, That is the store we love.
