In this lively episode, Sandy kicks things off by sharing his wild encounter with a giant coyote on the Brushy Creek Trail in Cedar Park. This sparks a fun chat with JB and another guest about urban wildlife, with JB reassuring everyone that coyotes are more scaredy-cat than scary. They then switch gears to the recent inauguration, tossing in some light-hearted political banter. The trio wraps things up by debating Austin's ranking as the sixth most fun city in America, comparing it to places like New Orleans and Las Vegas.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Sandy. Thanks for finding the podcast version of
(00:02):
the show. If you're not listening on the iHeartRadio app,
you should because there's a lot of great new updates,
including the ability to set one oh three point one
as a favorite, just like you do in your car.
Open up the iHeartRadio app update and use it. Here's
today's podcast. Had a visitor on my walk yesterday on
the Brushy Creek Trail and Cedar Park. I'm gonna tell
(00:24):
you about him in just a second, but real quick
to watch much of the inauguration stuff yesterday, JB.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, yeah, on and off. A lot of background stuff,
but yeah, I caught some moments here and there.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Did you catch the I think it was the second
speech that he gave to the other group of people
after the big inauguration speech. Did everyone kind of hold
their breath a little bit when he was talking about
Governor Abbott and hold their breath saying, Oh God, Trump's
gonna ask him to stand up.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Before?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, he was done that before.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yes, Yeah, he was praising Governor Abbott and then I
was just holding my breath, going, oh God, don't ask
him to stand up, Please, don't ask him to stand up.
But he didn't. So anyway, the inauguration happened yesterday. I
don't know how you could miss it. It just is
eating up the entire news cycle of the day without
(01:19):
a fact. But I had something kind of exciting happened
yesterday afternoon. I was on my walk, which is about
just over an hour walk, just over four mile walk
than I do, at Rushy Creek Trail, and I'm walking
along the trail with my friend David. I looked to
my left and there is an enormous coyote right there.
(01:40):
I mean, normally coyotes are pretty scraggly, skinny and small.
This dude had been eaten really really well. I mean
he was big, and I don't know anything about it.
I was like, David, I go, are they like dangerous
like a bear? Can they come at us? Well? You know,
what do I do? I had no idea if they're skittish.
(02:01):
Apparently they're very skittish and they stay away from people.
But it just reminded me, man that even though you
think you live in the neighborhood and stuff, we share
these the land with these creatures that are all over
the place, especially deer.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, yeah, it's not uncommon to see coyotes and foxes
in my neighborhood. And I live close to downtown.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You see coyotes.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
They're crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
There's like a there's a creek like just a block
from my house. It runs along I thirty five, and
it's yeah, they cruise up and down that. Oh yeah,
they're they're all over It's frightening.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I mean, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
You always see people on next door their cats go missing.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You know they're eating.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
That video that you posted, Sandy, he was big. Like
at first glance, I'm like, well, that's a wolf. There's
a wolf in Cedar Park. Clearly there's not a wolf.
He was really big.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I was really glad that I had my knife with me.
I was ready.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Did you have your knife with you?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I did. I had my knife in my backpack and
I pulled it out. I was ready.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
You'll have to get my nephew to take you. Varmint
hunting he does. He's on some competition thing. Do you
know they have that?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I didn't know there was competition varmit hunting.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
He's all over it.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Jb yea wild hogs and coyotes and he wins prize
money doing it.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Really yeah, he sounds like the kind of guy that
would go down to Florida and hunt those pythons.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, something like that. But he does it all the time.
They have like a team.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Does he do that.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
When he sticks his arm down in holes and pulls
that big giant fish?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
What's that called?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Fish with your arm? That's a redneck too far for me.
I mean, that's a redneck bridge that I mean noodling. Yeah, yeah,
that's a redneck. I've done some redneck stuff. I mean
I have, but man, that's a redneck bridge. Too far
for me. Stick your hand down in hole for fish
and pull it out, No.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Thanks, giant fish like once.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, I'm not doing that. They want to do arnments though,
I would do varmits. Yeah, that'd be kind of fun,
and people want them gone. Remember out on when s
H one thirty was brand new and they had that
barrel hog problem where people were running over pigs all
the time.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Because they were running across the highway.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
They weren't used to it yet, right, Yeah, And then
in California they made a pedestrian bridge for the wildlife.
Did you see that. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Oh yeah, It's like the animals can read. They know
where to go to the bridge? When did this happen?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Did you know about that? GB?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I've seen that. I didn't know where it was, but
i've seen some of those. Yeah, I didn't know they
had them in California. I figured it was Europe or something.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
That's the only place I've ever seen. Can you imagine
bringing that up in Texas? In the legislature had got
an idea, y'all, how about if we spend a bunch
of money make a bridge so the wildlife have somewhere
to cross the highway. It would be your last words
is a Texas politician? Wouldn't it?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I met it, get past, you'd be done.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
But that coyote was He wasn't messing around. I didn't
realize they were so darned big, And I'm sure that
I don't know. There's a kind of a neighborhood around
that you mentioned next door? Are you on next door? JB?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Occasionally?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Yeah, oh what a cesspool?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
That is a right. I couldn't get off fast enough
once we got on it.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Usually it's like I'm giving away free stuff at the curb,
you know. Yeah, it's good for.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
That, Yeah, that's true. But then there's always the person
that gets nasty on that neighborhood. Yeah, you gotta be careful.
I'm still on the one from our old neighborhood and
can't figure out how to get off of it.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I know, I me too, I have the same problem,
so I just blocked it.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
That's smart. I mean, be careful if you're out there, friends.
Good news is that the rattlesnakes and all that stuff
they're not going. You're not going to see them this
time of year. We gotta wait for them to get
a little bigger. Trisua will take you on the take
out the tailor. They still do the roundup out there.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I think I'm not getting anywhere near that. I am not.
Mister Shoulders, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Stick around. We've got more coming up, would you guys say?
Austin's a fun city.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Yeah, there's always something to do. I always tell people
there's something to do every I mean, if you're a
bored person this town, there's always options, right.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You just gotta maybe have to look around a little
bit more than others, but there's always something to do.
You're right. Well. Austin landed number six on a list.
I don't know who put this list out, but number
six on a list of the most fun cities in America.
So you're curious who they think is more fun than Austin.
Got to hear this. Yeah, I mean very subjective obviously,
(06:52):
but number five on the list of the most fun cities,
New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, if that's your kind of fun, yeah, right.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
I feel like it's very specific fun, Like you go there,
you have fun, you go home. I feel like Austin
is more of a sustained, everyday fun things kind of city, right.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, there's more options for fun in Austin than there
are I think in New Orleans. Basically, all I've seen
of New Orleans is kind of the French Quarter. That's it, right,
Like JB said, that's a certain kind of fun.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
That's a certain same thing. But Vegas certain kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Vegas is on the list, right, number four on the list.
When you think Atlanta, do you think fun?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
No, I don't either, not at all. I don't know
what I think when I think Atlanta, but I don't
think fun.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
The only thing I think that is fun is when
I think like major League sports.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Outside of that, not a fun town.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, Number three on the list of the most fun
cities Miami. I'm not cool enough for Miami.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
No, I'm not either.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
At all, not good looking enough for Miami, not rich enough,
not rich, And I'm not nothing enough for Miami. So
I'm nothing enough for Miami. Number two on the list. Again,
these are very specific types of fun, JB. I think
you nailed it because Orlando, Florida number two. Disney. Yeah,
(08:26):
but that's not I don't want to do that for fun.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Like once or twice.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, but there's all the big theme parks now, there's
like a couple of Universals, and there's I don't I
don't even know how many there are. There's lots of them.
It doesn't just be Disney.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
So if you're a theme park person, Orlando's your town
and that's fun. Right.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah. My daughter and I were there last year. We
ducked into gator Land.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
What do they have there?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
It's been around since like the fifties or something. It's
it's his classics. She actually enjoyed that more than a
lot of the rides.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I learned something when I lived in Cincinnati. I worked
with someone that they very involved in the roller coaster
culture of the of America. Like they took their vacations
to go ride different roller coasters. That was their thing.
Like what yeah, but hey, everyone's got a thing, right.
(09:25):
And finally, Jimmy, you mentioned the number one earlier again
it falls into that certain kind of fun Las Vegas
number one city for fun.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, two days tops. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I could live in Las Vegas though. A friend of
mine lives there, and I went and visited. He lives,
I don't know, fifteen minutes from the strip, you know,
and like a normal neighborhood, like with normal people and
not a bunch of not a bunch of.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Normal being that close to the strip when you think
of Vegas, right.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Right, right. But it was great because he said so
someone was really funny. He goes, yes, Andy, it's great
living here because you get showered and you get dressed
and you go to Vegas. It was like, yeah, Sam,
that's a great way to look at it. But if
that's a good point, he's like, you know, world class restaurants,
world class entertainment, world class spas, all that stuff, that'd
(10:19):
be pretty fun. Great golf, great.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
A cousin who lived there for a few years, and
he was like, I'd move back in a heartbeat if
I could. He really lived there for work and said
it was great.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Huh, so Vegas would be all right. But man, on vacation,
you nailed it two days. Yeah, get me the hell
out of there. And the worst thing you can do
in Las Vegas is book an early Sunday morning flight. Yeah,
you're like, oh, no, I'll go in early. No you won't.
Oh you won't, you won't. Patricia and I were just talking.
(10:52):
Why were we talking about going to Las Vegas. Oh
for Kenny Chesney at the Sphere.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Kenny Chesney at this sphere. Really, anybody at this sphere.
I just want to go to the Spear. But I
love Kenny Chesney and he's going to be there. He's
doing a residency at the end of the year. I
would love to go. I think this a great reason
to go. I haven't played blackjack in years.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I'll never forget JB. Once in Las Vegas with Tricia
and her friend Brittany, and I get up in the
morning and they go. These two never came home, right,
She and Brittany never came back. Tristian ever came back
to the hotel room. I go downstairs, there's Tricia and
Brittany sitting at a five dollars blackjack table with a
whole bunch of people, and I'm like, how long have
(11:34):
you been here? And she goes, what time is it?
I go nine, and she goes about twelve hours, and.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Then the other one down the table.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah. And then the next day, same thing. They come.
Tricia and Brittany your friend, come into the hotel room
and she goes, what are we doing tomorrow? And right
then Brittany opens up the blinds and it's bright sunlight
out and Tricia goes, oh, my god, it is tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
There's no time in Vegas. My god, you have no
idea what time it is. When you're in those casinos.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
She'll sit there and play five dollar black jack all.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Day long, all day long. I love it. I love it.
I went on a girl's trip. There was like six
girls we sat down on with those five dollars tables.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
And you know how at the big tables where it
costs like, I don't know, five hundred, one thousand dollars
to play, they have the big groups of people around
them because they want to see all the money exchanging hands,
and there's a lot of.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Cheering and clapping.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
We had a crowd like that around our five dollars
table because we were having so much fun and cheering
and clapping like we were winning thousands of dollars on
each hand.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
We're at the little five dollar table.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Come you got a double down for five dollars and
the place went nuts, right.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
We went crazy and the people cheering for.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Us did too. That's funny. So again at Austin number

At all, not good looking enough for Miami, not rich enough,
not rich, And I'm not nothing enough for Miami. So
I'm nothing enough for Miami. Number two on the list. Again,
these are very specific types of fun, JB. I think
you nailed it because Orlando, Florida number two. Disney. Yeah,
(08:26):
but that's not I don't want to do that for fun.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Like once or twice.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, but there's all the big theme parks now, there's
like a couple of Universals, and there's I don't I
don't even know how many there are. There's lots of them.
It doesn't just be Disney.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
So if you're a theme park person, Orlando's your town
and that's fun. Right.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah. My daughter and I were there last year. We
ducked into gator Land.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
What do they have there?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
It's been around since like the fifties or something. It's
it's his classics. She actually enjoyed that more than a
lot of the rides.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I learned something when I lived in Cincinnati. I worked
with someone that they very involved in the roller coaster
culture of the of America. Like they took their vacations
to go ride different roller coasters. That was their thing.
Like what yeah, but hey, everyone's got a thing, right.
(09:25):
And finally, Jimmy, you mentioned the number one earlier again
it falls into that certain kind of fun Las Vegas
number one city for fun.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, two days tops. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I could live in Las Vegas though. A friend of
mine lives there, and I went and visited. He lives,
I don't know, fifteen minutes from the strip, you know,
and like a normal neighborhood, like with normal people and
not a bunch of not a bunch of.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Normal being that close to the strip when you think
of Vegas, right.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Right, right. But it was great because he said so
someone was really funny. He goes, yes, Andy, it's great
living here because you get showered and you get dressed
and you go to Vegas. It was like, yeah, Sam,
that's a great way to look at it. But if
that's a good point, he's like, you know, world class restaurants,
world class entertainment, world class spas, all that stuff, that'd
(10:19):
be pretty fun. Great golf, great.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
A cousin who lived there for a few years, and
he was like, I'd move back in a heartbeat if
I could. He really lived there for work and said
it was great.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Huh, so Vegas would be all right. But man, on vacation,
you nailed it two days. Yeah, get me the hell
out of there. And the worst thing you can do
in Las Vegas is book an early Sunday morning flight. Yeah,
you're like, oh, no, I'll go in early. No you won't.
Oh you won't, you won't. Patricia and I were just talking.
(10:52):
Why were we talking about going to Las Vegas. Oh
for Kenny Chesney at the Sphere.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Kenny Chesney at this sphere. Really, anybody at this sphere.
I just want to go to the Spear. But I
love Kenny Chesney and he's going to be there. He's
doing a residency at the end of the year. I
would love to go. I think this a great reason
to go. I haven't played blackjack in years.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I'll never forget JB. Once in Las Vegas with Tricia
and her friend Brittany, and I get up in the
morning and they go. These two never came home, right,
She and Brittany never came back. Tristian ever came back
to the hotel room. I go downstairs, there's Tricia and
Brittany sitting at a five dollars blackjack table with a
whole bunch of people, and I'm like, how long have
(11:34):
you been here? And she goes, what time is it?
I go nine, and she goes about twelve hours, and.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Then the other one down the table.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah. And then the next day, same thing. They come.
Tricia and Brittany your friend, come into the hotel room
and she goes, what are we doing tomorrow? And right
then Brittany opens up the blinds and it's bright sunlight
out and Tricia goes, oh, my god, it is tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
There's no time in Vegas. My god, you have no
idea what time it is. When you're in those casinos.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
She'll sit there and play five dollar black jack all.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Day long, all day long. I love it. I love it.
I went on a girl's trip. There was like six
girls we sat down on with those five dollars tables.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
And you know how at the big tables where it
costs like, I don't know, five hundred, one thousand dollars
to play, they have the big groups of people around
them because they want to see all the money exchanging hands,
and there's a lot of.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Cheering and clapping.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
We had a crowd like that around our five dollars
table because we were having so much fun and cheering
and clapping like we were winning thousands of dollars on
each hand.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
We're at the little five dollar table.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Come you got a double down for five dollars and
the place went nuts, right.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
We went crazy and the people cheering for.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
