Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighties
station one oh three point one.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
All right, thanks for.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
Being with us, just joining us. Grabbed the podcast version
of the show. You missed the first half search JB
and Sandy on the iHeartRadio app. Stephen Presley is with
us today. No, Steven's not a shark, but Jaws is
fifty years old and their mark of the anniversary with

(00:27):
some cool stuff.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Steven's gonna tell us about it just a second. That's
so fun.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
And I'm going to paraphrase the story because I don't
remember all the details. But this is the famous composer
John Williams did this theme song, one of the most
iconic things ever. But if you think about that, when
supposedly when he presented this to Spielberg, he just played
him this two notes, yeah, dud, and Spielers like, I

(00:53):
don't get it. I don't get it.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
Are those all the notes?

Speaker 3 (00:58):
So yeah, Steven Spielberg's like, man, I can't I can't
wait to hear what you come up with. Play it
for me. It's there, you go, Oh my goodness, you
mean that's it. That's it, ye, Stephen, that's it. Scary
you gotta trust me.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
No, but wait, wait, I'm gonna do it faster.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
There have been a lot a lot of things this
summer marking the fiftieth anniversary at Jaws, a lot of
you know, sitting in an inner tube and watch the
movie and scuba divers come up and grab your butt
and things like that.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
But what else do you have about it, Steven?

Speaker 5 (01:30):
Yeah, So it's now streaming on Peacock. You can watch
i think a clear a new digitized version of it
on Peacock. But it's also going to get a re
released Labor Day weekend August thirtieth through September second. It'll
be in theaters nationwide, so you can see it on
the big screen again, which would be kind of cool.
And it's just the movie was so groundbreaking at the time.

(01:51):
Spielberg really was under pressure to make that movie, you know,
succeed and they had so much trouble making that movie.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
You know, movies in general.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
We're talking about Tom Cruise's water movie, but you know,
movies that have to do with water always seem to
be problem matic and have a lot of complications, and
they had a lot of complications filming that movie. There's
a really good doc If people want to hear more
about the behind the scenes of Jaws. The documentary right
now is also playing on Hulu Disney Plus it's a
special Jaws fiftieth anniversary documentary.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
The Shark is still working.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
So do you think that at any moment Spielberg, when
making this movie thought to himself, this movie is going
to destroy beach tourism for years.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, Kenny didn't care.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Do you think he ever crossed his mind that there
were beach communities all up and down the Texas coast
that we're not going to get any business because of
this movie?

Speaker 6 (02:48):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I don't know. People were scared to death get in
swimming pools. I know it was.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
That's why Saturday Night Live started doing the Land Shark spoof.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
That's right. Yes, there was not going to because.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
The whole country was sent into total fear, and so
they started having sharks show up on land so funny,
and then decades later Sharknado.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, and then the hell, there's Shark Week too.

Speaker 6 (03:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (03:13):
There would not be a Shark Nado without Steven Spielberg's Jaws, right, No,
I don't think.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Then someone tried to copy the Jaws movie the format
with another one?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Orca? Is that right?

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Oh the way I saw Orca.

Speaker 7 (03:26):
I saw Orca as a tiny Tricia in a drive
in movie theater and I'm still like terrified of that.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Who took you to a drive in?

Speaker 7 (03:35):
A babysitter and her boyfriend at a drive in theater.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
But it was cool.

Speaker 7 (03:41):
It was an old car and it was the top
was down that I remember watching it in being petrified.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah. Where was the drive in?

Speaker 4 (03:48):
I don't know, somewhere around Austin.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
I was.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
I mean, I was a tiny Tricia.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
I was like six.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Do you think there's GB You're always a good person
to asked this. Is there a market for a comeback
of the drive in movie? There is there a market
for there? There was a surge of them during COVID, Yeah,
badly enough.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
Yeah, you probably went to a couple during COVID, but
you had a pop up style. Yeah, there's what. Well,
there's one Inde Bronzeville's. It's a little bit of a
drive because it's out in the country. I think it's
it's maybe the Americana. It's got something America name. But
it's a pretty nice drive in out there.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
I feel like all the drive in theaters were called
like Starlight or something like that.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, the past one on the way to Houston.

Speaker 7 (04:29):
It's all torn down and broken down, but all things
old are new again.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
And the sound could be. That was the big problem
with drive in theaters. You hung that little thing on
your window and that sound was off.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Terrible audio. But yeah, now they maybe could.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yeah. I just searched for some famous aquatic villains random
plus Jaws in the Orca and then there was Deep
Blue Sea in n Yeah, I saw that, the Shallows
twenty sixteen, Yeah, Crawl andwenty nineteen on land Kujo.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Uh yeah, Fujo the dog.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Right, there was a Sa the Gray, the Ghost in
the Darkness, Rogue and birds and other creatures category. There
was the Birds from nineteen sixty three that was Black
Sheep and six Piranha.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Parana I remember that.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Seventy eight and remade in twenty ten and Anacondah remember
that one.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
I think Jo was in.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
That one, Yes, she is in the first, and the
Wonder was it Wonderworld In San Marcos they filmed one
of the Pirana movies Pana.

Speaker 6 (05:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (05:37):
Paranha was filmed in and around Austin, like in Lake
Austin and in San Marcos.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Yeah, I just saw it recently.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
With you they need they have made a Mermaid I
was thinking of San Marcus, like, we need a Mermaid movie.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
They're oddly it was one in the eighties.

Speaker 7 (05:52):
Yeah splash for those.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Of you who don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
I was explaining this to my daughter recently. I was like,
you know, they have a big mermaid festival in San Marcus.
It's like a thing. It's like the like do you
remember it in school? They would have they have a parade,
I think, and they used to have the mermaids swimming
in and around with the glass bottom boats.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
It's a mermaid town. That's where I'm going.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
With a diving pig name Ralf and yeah, he would
jump off the I'm sure Pete shut that down. The
diving board.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah, no fun for pigs. We don't like it when
they have fun.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
What's a better life than being sausage a job?

Speaker 2 (06:34):
You know, Steve, that's a good point.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Hanging out with hot college girls and the pool.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
I would take that gig anytime. Movie prequels canceled.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
Yes, we were talking about, you know, movies being canceled,
so this is three movies. There were sequels and prequels
that were you know being you know, being produced, and
then they got canceled.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Airplane three. It was even.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
Teased the airplace too, if you look at the end
of Airplane two, they tease it in their movie coming
up after that. But Airplane three was canceled. One of
the main reasons was the change in taste what people
were consuming in movies at the time. The spoof category
of movies was starting to kind of follow the wayside
out of favor for people at the time.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
I think that's what I think. Naked Gun maybe it's back, right.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I could definitely see it
coming back. Now. There's talk of an Austin Power and
New Austin Powers movie being made that Mike Myers has
been working on for a while, So I think that's
gonna that's gonna be fast tracked now because of Naked Gun.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
A lot of those things weren't made because everyone was
terrified of getting canceled.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Right.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
They were afraid to take any chance at all being
funny because they were afraid they get canceled. So I
think stand Up is also coming back from that too. Yeah,
So and you can thank Tony Hanscliff, right, Yeah, Joe
Rogan and all of his friends. They're just they're just
not tolerating the cancel.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
M M.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
I love it. I mean.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
And Netflix has helped him with that endeavor. Yeah, exactly
more of those shows. They love comedy because it's cheap
to produce. So Steven anything else, I miss anything?

Speaker 5 (08:10):
Yeah, Tarantino's pulp fiction prequel. There was plans for a
pulp fiction prequel that would be the Vega Brothers. So
one of the Vega brothers that's in The Reservoir Dogs. Yeah,
John Travolta played the other Vega brother in Pulp Fiction,
and they wanted to make a movie, you know, John
Travolta's character, the Vega brother, and there was gonna be
double v Vega. Well, the Vega brother John Travolta played

(08:33):
talked about how he liked to go to Amsterdam on
his downtime when he wasn't out making hits, and so
he talked about his trips to Amsterdam, and the premise
for the prequel would have been him and his brother,
you know, on a vacation in Amsterdam and then the
Shenanigans that would unfold another one that's hilarious. Can I
say something about the pulp fiction prequel?

Speaker 3 (08:54):
I wouldn't know how that gamp ended up where he was, Like,
how did the gamp end up being the gamp?

Speaker 2 (08:59):
That's what I want to know. Very curious. Kristen didn't
see it, right it? Yeah, Oh my.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
Gosh, it's probably top two for me for Tarantina films.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
He just made an announcement of his his best, like
his favorite and his masterpieces. His masterpiece was in his
opinion was his favorite was Once upon a Time in Hollywood.

Speaker 7 (09:21):
Yeah, but kill Bill was the movie said he said
he was born to make. Yeah, fiction wasn't even in
his top.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
Three, which is weird. I know what's the last one
that got canceled? Well, a different version of the Gladiator sequel.
This one would have had brought back Russell Crowe. It
was actually a script that was finished. He was written
by a guy by the name of Nick Cave And
this one, Maximus would have gotten resurrected and he would
have traveled through time to go to Vietnam. Oh god,

(09:48):
it was so wild.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Ridley Scott said, no way we're going to do that.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Have you heard anything about the Rambo prequel. Though, yeah,
it's been cast. I'm trying to think the actor's name.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
He's been saw picture too.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
I don't have it right in front of me.

Speaker 5 (09:59):
But he's you know, he looks a lot like a
young Stallone, so they did a good job of casting
someone that has a Stallone you know, look to him.
He's not a super well known guy, but he has.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
Been in some streaming series nous Centinao.

Speaker 5 (10:14):
Yeah, he's got that just like a black Stallone hair,
kind of wavy, but yeah, he's gonna play the young
version of Rambo, John Rambo, which will take place during
his time times at war.

(11:40):
Put on three point one, Austin's eighties station.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Here's what's coming up on the JB and Sandy Show
on one O three point one.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
All right, coming up next, gen Z's done it again.
They have given a name to something and they think
they invented it, but actually it's been.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Around for a long law long time.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
It's about dating, like when you won't leave one person
until you've got another. Yeah, jen X, we named it
a long time ago, but they think they did. We'll
tell you what it is coming up.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty
station one oh three point one.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
All right, young.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
People right now are discovering things that we discovered years ago,
giving it a different name and claiming to have invented it.
We've got that for you in just a second. But first,
then there's a video floating around of a guy that
you know, JB.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Right, Well, I know he is. He didn't know who
I am.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
You took a class from him, yes, right, to kind
of explain this guy got jumped.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
I'm trying to figure out what day this happened. The
story just got published today, so this is very fresh.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
But I'm like, wait a minute, I know that guy.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
There was a guy, his name's Michael, and he was
in an incident in front on South Congress, you know
where Havana is. The Cuban restaurant's been there forever by
Great Outdoor. This guy came up to him and threatened him.
A homeless guy, probably with mental issues, I'm guessing, but

(13:10):
he's claiming self defense.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Here's what happened.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
This is the guy, so I know him because I
took a concealed carry class from him, and he's a
big YouTuber. I think I even sent you his page,
like you got to follow this guy. He knows the
gun laws obviously, and he likes to go to Havana.
That's like he says in the story, It's one of
his favorite places. And he said that this guy approached him.

(13:35):
He said, I kind of turned and looked at him.
I guess the way I looked at him, he didn't
like it. Michael claims the man in the restaurant parking
lot threatened him with a large knife. He said he
was going to flatten my tires and I'm like, no,
You're not going to flatten my tires, he said. He said, well,
I'm going to stab you instead. Michael always has a

(13:58):
firearm on his hip. He could have easily pulled that
gun out. He chose to de escalate the situation best
he could. Couldn't. The guy had a knife picked him up,
and it's on video. Because someone in the restaurant was
video in the incident, picks him up and body slams
the guy on.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
The road, which I mean a guy pulls.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
A knife on him. He had every right and education
to use that gun. Yeah, and he still chose like
he is. He's a US Army sergeant background and he's
jacked got some guy. He's not very tall, but he's
he's he's just what he's.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
Doing in that video.

Speaker 7 (14:39):
Did you see how high the guy he body slams
backpack flew into the air.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah, it's a wild video.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
He didn't just trip him over. I mean he tossed him.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
So he used good and he's safe. He's the guy's fine.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
I guess the guy that he bodies slam no, no, noh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
he's he's. I mean, if you see it, it's just
like a wrestling move. He just a bam thing over.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
He said. The police were there pretty pretty quickly.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
He said to the police, if someone is trying to
kill me, I have the right to protect myself and
stop that immediate threat.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
You know, he said all the right things. Yeah, I
bet those cops knew who he is. I bet I bet.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if that guy does
some instruction with the police officers on shooting and stuff
like that. Hey, it's a good idea to learn some
kind of self defense right now, just a general not
just something to protect yourself. I mean, just sign up
for a class or take a jiu jitsu or krap

(15:40):
maga or something couple. Yeah, something that can end it
really really fast. So good for you, man. I'm glad
he's safe too, And hopefully if that guy does have
some mental issues that I think he may have some
mental issues to take that dude on right.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Clearly exactly, and the cops were unable.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
I mean they will find him at some point, but
they're overwhelmed with these kind of yeah incidents, absolutely sure, Trisia.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
What are these young people claiming to haven't been in? Now?

Speaker 7 (16:06):
All right here, I'm gonna test y'all tell me this.
If I were to say, tell me what you call
uh not letting go of one significant other until you've
got your hands on the next significant other?

Speaker 4 (16:18):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (16:19):
How do you know that? I've always called that the
monkey swing?

Speaker 4 (16:22):
JD taught me that monkey swinging, right, yeah, monkey swing? Yeah, Steven,
have you heard.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
That monkey swing.

Speaker 7 (16:27):
Yeah, so the news generation said that they've come up
with a new term to explain a new phenomenon, and
they're calling it monkey barring. It's another example of something
that has always been there that they are just renaming
it or thinking that they're coming up with a new
name for it and taking credit for it.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Sorry.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Friends, it's been around for a long time.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Then everybody knows someone or maybe you are someone, that
you were a monkey.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
They're monkey swingers.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Oh yeah, right, and they'll hang on to a bad
relationship until they've got their grip on something exactly, whether
that one's.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
Better or not.

Speaker 7 (17:03):
They just can't be alone. I have friends who are like, oh,
I'm for sure a monkey swinger. Absolutely are aware that
they are and do it and know it not maybe
not so much now, but back in the day for sure.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Which one Oh really, yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
I never knew that.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Yeah, I think she's a tramp, but I didn't think. Well,
I hate to inform any young people listening. You guys
didn't invent.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
That, didn't invent that.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
No, monkey It's been around for a for a while,
probably since our grandparents probably had a different name for it,
probably than we did, which I'm trying to think of
what our grandparents would have called monkeys swinging couples. I
don't know, rogue, Rogerford swapping or something.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
They get married in high school, so they didn't get
to play this game much. You're right, you're right.
