Speaker 3 (00:15):
Are you in for hockey tonight?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Oh yeah, gosh, sorry, that's slip my mind.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I was traveling.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I was traveling a bunch, and my daughter got back
from Iceland, and then yesterday we took possession of a
house she's renting and we're going through all that, so
my mind, my mind was elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
But yes, okay, cool Texas Stars tonight Game three in
the Western Conference Finals at the EGb Center, and I
was just like, I've just gotten so into hockey lately,
and I just grabbed some tickets. Uh when they advanced,
and uh man, we're right down there on the glass.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Baby.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Oh yeah, we'll be pounding on the glass, flashing people,
lifting our shirts.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Absolutely, we're going to be those guys.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Y'all had to paint some words or something on your chest,
on your stomach.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Hey, we pulled that off in our late twenties at
a football game. Do you remember that we were on
the ESPN highlights it. It was a long harm game.
I don't remember who they were playing, but we had
decent seats and it just started flooding. It was like
a fountain down the stands, just wow. And it was
(01:27):
like up to halfway up your shins and everybody's oh
my gosh. Everybody's stuff was washing down to the front
and most people went under the stands, and Sandy and
I took our shirts off and were screaming for the cameras.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
And I got home and that it was before cell phones.
That's how long ago. That wasn't before cell phones before
I had one, I think, And my home answering machine
was full of college buddies saw me on ESPN, was like,
you idiot, We saw we were like in the Sports
Center Top ten. Yeah, because they play it over and
(02:03):
over and over. We would have been viral on YouTube
had it been around. Oh yeah, back back then. Yeah,
we were those guys. So I say we do it
again without the rain at the ChB Center tonight.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Just be the loud, obnoxious guys.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
People around you will love that.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Oh yeah, it would be a lot of fun. Uh So, anyway,
that's happening tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
And uh, I'm looking forward to hopefully they'll win tonight
and they play again a Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
If you want to get out there and check it
out at the Hub Center.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Jybe, you're back from Chicago and you hit any big
highlights from there, just all all business, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
It was a conference. I was in and out. It
was one of those ones where it's at the airport hotel,
and so I didn't see anything. And it was bad
weather too, yeah, so it wouldn't have been that great anyway.
So I saw the hotel and the restaurant next door.
That's it in the airport.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
You mentioned that your your daughter is moving you guys,
are she's renting a house.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
She was on Lamar, right, Yeah, she was on an
apartment off South Lamar.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
And she's just not love an apartment life. I get it.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I thought, you know, you know, she's twenty three now.
I thought she'd like the rooftop pool and the gym
and they have a coworking space and lounge and underground
parking is gold in Austin, Texas, right, sure, sure, But
she's like, nah, it's not my thing, not my thing.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
And so we found a cute.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Little house just north of thirty fifth Street, east of Mopac. Cute,
cute little house, and so yeah, we'll start. Luckily, we
have her apartment through the end of the month, so
we can slowly move in.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Oh yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
It's a little costly to do that. I wouldn't recommend it,
but uh yeah, we'll get her all moved in. We've
got time.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
That's fun for her.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
We literally just just got the keys yesterday. We haven't
moved a thing in right on neighborhood though, it is
it's yeah, it's near Central Market, the you know, the
original Central Market, and there's just that whole like lamar
Burnett North lamar burn It is just going through such
a change mm hmm everything around there.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
That's as north as she's ever lived, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, she's lived in Westlake and South Austin,
Travis Heights and South Lamar.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Right, it's a little bit further away from you and
Aaron as well. It's the only time north of the
river for her.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, well, you know, because it's I know, I used
to when I'd live in Westlake, I'd go, yeah, south
of the river.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Most people don't think of.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Westlake as South Austin, but I would claim that it
was South Austin, right exactly.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
She's never lived north.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
But that's the thing though, that's a that's the thing
though for like as her parents, and you want to
get you know, you want to be able to go
back and forth as needed.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Right, Crossing the river can be horrific at.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Times, certain time of the day.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, imagine what it was like before the bridges. What's
that I said? Imagine what it was like before the bridges?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Oh right, Oh, that wasn't I mean, if you see
some of the old pictures before they damned it up
in nineteen sixty, I think there were places where it
was passable, even back when it was wagons. I think
it was down near Pleasant Valley. There's still some old
(05:24):
wagon trails on the rocks. Yeah, that's where they used
to cross because it wasn't damned up.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Isn't funny? As the older you get, the more interested
you are in history. Yeah, I'm waiting for bird watching
to become a thing.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
What exactly is the age that you when you're talking
to somebody, you tell them what route you took to
get there. That's a certain age too, Yeah, or when
your streets.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Your mother does that when they get to her house
and you know, you get there, it goes did you
did you take mopack to blah blah blah and then
go left and it's like, yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
The route becomes very important that I still it never
gets sold on SNL the Californians and they're just spitting
out all the highways and they're rout they.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Took the number.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Oh right, it is so and they always break character
because it's so funny.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Coming up, Tricia has the story We Love? What do
you have?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
All right?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
We're going to talk about a sport that was started
in Austin back in two thousand and three and it
has now spread to hundreds of cities around the world
and Texas is getting ready to host one of the tournaments. Sandy,
you have first hand interaction with this particular sport.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Versus got the Story We Love and just a moment
a reminder give us a follow on Instagram. It is
at JB Sandy at X and of course the podcast
is available every single day.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I can't be here for a full hour. Just search
JB and Sandy on the iHeartRadio app. The Stories We Love.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Live from the Lester Holt Studios.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
It's Tricia Delicia all.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Right, Sandy flat track Derby. Do you know what sport
I'm talking about when I say that Derby? Roller Derby?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yes, the Texas roller Girls. I did not realize that
roller derby was still a thing. I remember hearing about
it like back in the day. I don't know, fifteen
years ago, something like that kind of had a rise
and then I haven't heard much since then. But the
Texas roller Girls are hosting in June June fourteenth and
fifteenth the Junior Roller Derby Association Female Division Playoffs for
(07:31):
the first time in Austin.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Really.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yes, it's a big deal. We have our own team.
They have four teams underneath them for home teams. I
love the names of the teams. The hell Mary's, the
Honky Tonk Heartbreakers, the Hot Red Honeys, and the Hustlers.
The Hustlers Yep and yep. They are competing again. Austin
is hosting it for the very first time. World teams
(07:56):
coming in.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Wow. I should take my daughter to that. I think
she could get into that.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah, I know, yeah, she she likes pain and suffering.
You know, she's she's pretty athletic. I could totally see
her getting into this. I think I should take her,
you should, that'd be good.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I remember watching it in the seventies on TV, and
I remember too they had this one girl and she
had a really big booty and she would go around
just bumping people off of the track.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Isn't that like her job?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Though?
Speaker 5 (08:30):
That's her job cammeras, Yes.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
And they would whip her around there and that was
her move. But I always thought roller derby was kind
of like professional wrastling.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
A little bit fixed. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
It's a little bit theatrical.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Well, if you go to the Texas roller Girls page,
they kind of explain what it is and they're like,
it's a mix of roller skating, athleticism and theatrics for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, there's definitely some athleticism going on there. I had
some experience with that because my rugby club, the Austin Hunts,
we used to do some security for the roller derby
and they would pay us to do it, and so
we'd go out there and there was never any problems,
you know what I mean. We were just kind of
there standing around, yeah, watching the Well, there's no.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
There was never any problems because the Huns were there.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Yeah, the giant men were guarding everything.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
That's true through strength, yes, said Ronald Reagan, right.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yes, exactly right. But that's cool. It's and they have
been at it for a long time. Yeah, with this
in Austin. It came to Austin. They said the flat
track in two thousand and three. There's also a banked
track version of it. Was it too expensive to buy
the get the banked one.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Or you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I guess really really won't pay for a banked one,
so they's.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
They used to have men's roller derby too, really not
in Austin, but I mean I remember seeing men on
TV doing it.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
I've only ever seen it or heard about it with women.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
We actually knew somebody who was on Cindy.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yes, Cindy, she was on the team. It's funny.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I went to a banked track roller derby way back,
like probably the early early nineties to see Joe Eely play.
He played in the middle of the track or like
a break Joe Eely or afterward or something.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And I went with someone who you know, Sandy, Wait,
this is before probably when you and I first met,
but a guy named Jimmy Steele.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He's a mutual friend. Jimmy lives in New bron Fules.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Now, yeah, he's a radio program legendary radio programmer. He's
a big fan of Joe E Lee. Like, we went
to that show together at a roller Derby.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I wonder if he was dating the roller Derby girls
and that's how Joe E Lee ended up there. That's funny, right,
isn't that random? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, that's super random.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I want to go when is? When is one of
these playoff games?
Speaker 4 (10:48):
The playoff games are June fourteenth and fifteenth at the
Millennium Youth Entertainment Complex. You can buy tickets at at
the Texas Roller Girls page website.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You don't I always remember about ticket Like when our
daughter was younger, she'd go go roller skating and or
have a skate party or something like that. Dude, I
don't know, Jimmy, how long it's been since you've been
in a roller rink. But it is still wildly popular.
It's still popular and adults there are like forty something
year old dudes out there just doing their thing.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I mean, yeah, skate.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
My daughter has a pair of roller skates, like not rollerblades,
roller skates and yeah, don't go do it every day
now and it's still fun.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
But you know what the new thing is now you
don't listen to the music that they're playing.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
You wear.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
They're wearing their own headphones and playing their own music.
That's weird.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
But there's a group of guys. I remember seeing like
three or four of them, and they had this whole routine. Yeah,
they did around the floor. It was kind of very
like Soul Train kind of you know what I mean,
smooth yeah and sleek.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, but it was cool.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
And then the one over off of off of one
to eighty three skate Land.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
They're expanding.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
They're expanding into the old antique mall right, and I
think they're adding maybe Bowling Alley into that section two.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
All I can say is that I was so relieved
when our daughter was old enough to figure out how
to stop herself not using the half high concrete wall. Yeah,
that's how. That was the way she would figure out
to stop herself. She flipped over it a couple of times. Yeah,
I was like, you've got to use your stop, run your.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I thought she's going to go through it. I thought
she was going on.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
I thought she had carnal injuries.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
One time, right, Well, that's fun. Get out and support that,
otherwise it'll go away and then Austin Nights'll be all
been out of state because the Austin Roller girls went away.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
And what's their team name, the Texas roller They have
four teams, they have like four different teams that they
work in her one of my favorite names, the Texecutioners.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Their team to be feared, right, definitely fear of that, right,
that's the story.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
We love.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Stay with us more coming up on Austin Davies Station
one O three point one. Our daughter celebrated her sixteenth
birthday on Friday, had a party on Saturday. And what
they did was we rented a limousine and her and
ten of her friends got in the limousine and drove
to BUCkies in bass Drop yep.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Piled out of BUCkies, shopped and limo back home.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
So awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, and they had a big, big time. I mean
they they loved it. They had a little karaoke machine
that they brought with them into the limousine.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Limo, so the whole most of the party was just
cruising in a limo and playing music.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And yeah, that so great. You could hear them singing
from the car. We followed them at Landry was like,
why aren't you guys going? And we're like what, So
any we followed uh out there to BUCkies and so
we got some video and stuff of them getting out
of the limo at BUCkies, which was really funny. And
then they had like forty five minutes in an hour
inside of BUCkies and they shot OpEd and we gave
(14:01):
each kid ten bucks to buy Landry a gag gift
in BUCkies. And it's pretty funny some of the stuff
you can get for ten bucks at buckets. Yeah, but
we went in and I got I thought of you, actually, JB.
You told us that you and Aaron loved those brisket sandwiches.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
And I was so stressed.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Out because they've got the single decker one and they
got the X X L size at BUCkies.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
And one was too small and one, Sandy's word, was
too big. Yeah, I was freaking out that it wasn't
stress I ended.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Up getting the small one.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
But anyway, so we went out and sat in the
car and ate our chop our slice beef sandwiches and
and I got a bag of those I can't.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Pretty good sandwiches. Great.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, the I can't help myself, but I love those
pecan prailing pecans that they have there, so I got
a bag of those and a doctor pepper.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
I mean, the wheels just came off my healthy eating
just right. But boy, did we see a scene the parking.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
We're sitting in the car eating, looking around, and you
know that I have eight hundred gas pumps at the BUCkies.
Out of nowhere, this little red, little sporty sedan came
zipping through. I mean there's hundreds of people in cars
walking around in this in this parking lot, zips right
in front of us and and really quickly pulls in.
(15:22):
This little guy gets out, puts his gas in, starts
at pumping, and then walks very angrily. Yeah, he's this
short little guy wearing shorts and socks pulled up to
his knees, kind of sway backed and pot belly. But
he was really young, like too young to have a
sway back pot belly. It's very strange, like he's very
(15:43):
He marches across two bays of gas pumps and confronts
this older man and they kind of get into it,
back and forth with each other. I think he was
accusing the older man of stealing his gas pump. Meanwhile, again,
there's eighth enough right right, But this was the kind
of guy that you could just tell by his whole attitude.
(16:04):
He wanted to make sure this man knew exactly what
his opinion was of what he thought happened. I mean,
I for sure Sandy got his phone out and started videoing. Yeah,
I thought they were gonna.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Go at it.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
My Bundy was on the old man too.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I know, I was like, I don't know what happened here,
but I side with the older man.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
The older man was just like, have a nice day.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
So this little guy, annoying guy marches back to his car,
labb into the guy in his car about what's going on,
finishes pumping his gas, and I mean, we're right there,
right in front of him, parked in a spot.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
We're behind him, I mean, we're behind it, but he's
right in front of us.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
He backs out and zips across, almost hits the front
of my car, crossing over like where normally cars would
be parked. He's not driving in the like driving lane
of a Bucky's. Again, there's so many people around and
right when he crossed in front of in my car.
I just laid on the horn, laid on the horn.
(16:59):
He drove a little bit farther and then stopped, and
for one split second, I was like, he's getting ready
to back up and come over here. Now, let me
let everybody know, people who don't know, Sandy is six
foot one, giant, broad shouldered, bald headed guy. Normally, in
situations that I think there might be some sort of interaction,
(17:19):
I'm all, easy, big fella, I'm hoping people don't walk
over to him. But in this case, because that guy
was so annoying just watching him, I was like, please
let him back up, Please let him come over here,
and let me see the look on his face when
Sandy unfolds himself out of my car after he.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Had went over there.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Let me add to Sandy's description picture arms like Popeye, yeah,
and hands he's wearing catchers mits those are his hands.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Bald guy.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Oh that I would have given anything for that little
annoying worp to come back over to the car, because
normally I'm all holding Sandy bag. I'd have been like,
go get him, go get a big fella.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Something kind of similar happened that summer that I spent
in South Dakota. I was with my buddy Marlin, and
there was this guy in a in a little what
a little tiny side by side, you know, and he
was going really slow in a neighborhood and we passed
him and then he and he was shooting the finger
at us and doing all kinds of stuff. And then
(18:24):
he pulls up right behind us where we parked at
the golf course.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
And side by side is like an off road vehicle.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Right right right, and they're street legal in that part
of South Dakota, and so he's all bowing up and
stuff and I'll never forget. We get out of the
car and we start walking back to the to talk
to this guy, and my friend Marlin says, well.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Now, let you know what you're dealing with. You got
something to say.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
That is amazing.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Yeah. I was like, that's pretty quick. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
He was like, oh no, no, it's all good.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It's all good, it's all good. Oh.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
I told Sandy that little torp in the parking lot.
I was like, somebody is going to punch that guy
in the face.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That's a guy that's never been punched in the face, right,
you know what I mean, He's a guy that's never
ever been just laid out flat, never.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Gone through life being lippy and getting away with it exauly.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I didn't just think that he was way more important.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I mean, you would not believe how fast he was
driving in the BUCkies parking lot, people walking around cars everywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
There's probably more and more of that with adults now
because it's so.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Unacceptable to have schoolyard.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Fights, yeah, which were the norm in the seventies, when
you just sort it out on the playground or whatever
at home out front.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
No, it's not acceptable.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
You'll end up in a lawsuit from another family if
your kids start to fight.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
It's just so weird. That's I mean that that was
a part of growing up, is learning.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
How to behave that way exactly because the consequences can sluck.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
One of my a friend of mine, his son got
in a fight at school and got punched right in
the nose.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
And he came home.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
His dad's a retired marine, and he goes, all right,
he goes, so he got punched the nose. He goes,
what'd you learn And he's like, uh, he goes that
you can take a punch in the nose and not
buy You're gonna be okay, it's gonna be all right,
he covers, better learn to move a little quicker next time.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
So, but I think you're right. I mean, Jimmy, you
have a great point that there's just a I don't know,
there's something to be said as a young person for
getting in a fight because it prevents you from getting
in fights when you're older.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Right, it teaches you, like red flag, don't mess with
this person, or this is not my figure out how
to sort something out?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Like yeah, it just it's just like the nature.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
And don't you.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Especially with road rage incidents. I mean, I'm kind of
bet and here in Austin, Texas, Central Texas, I'm saying
about ninety percent of the cars have guns in them.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah, a lot, although I have one quite often.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yeah, I mean, so do I and don't want to
use it. No, not at all. But I mean there's
a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
That guy could have easily gotten really scared at the
BUCkies the older gentleman and reached into his truck and.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Shot that guy, right if he felt threatened. Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
He what I was impressed with.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I'm not saying he was an old man, he was
an older man than this little twarp guy. But when
he saw the guy marching over to him, that man
stopped trumping his gas and stepped up, like started walking
towards the twerp and stepped up to him and did
not back down. And I think that startled him a
little bit. Yeah, it kind of stopped him in his tracks.
But man, he was flapping his gums.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
In loans moments. If you just take a second, shut up,
take a breath, pause, and then let it go. Just
move on, right, I can't go got hurt.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You could have and again, eight hundred other park places
to pump gas in that parking lot. It's not like
he was waiting for the one that got stolen.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
On a side note, why didn't we think of BUCkies? Oh?
Invented because they cost millions to build? Yeah that's true
even if that was the idea. But they pay it
off in a day.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Yeah, I was fifty three thousand square feet.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Oh, I would love to how much money they generate
in a day?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Like what's there? Gosh?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, Like what at the end of the day when
they close out all the registers, how much.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Is Yeah, what's the number?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
You know? What's great about BUCkies is they're always really
well staffed. You have you never have to wait.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Oh yeah, okay, I just found it. At twenty twenty two,
study revealed that during peak travel periods, a single buckets
could generate half a million dollars a day.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Oh my.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
And let's say they're operating on a thirty percent margin profit.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
I don't know. Yeah, and that includes gas the half
a million, and the margins are short on that. That's
probably right, that's probably a break even at maybe a
tiny margin. But they just want you. You're gonna come
in the store for a minimum of thirty minutes, right.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I couldn't believe I got in and out of there
for twenty bucks.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
No, yeah, I spent twenty two.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I don't know how. Then you went right to what
you wanted and you left exactly.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
It's otherwise. You know, you're buying swim trunks, pajamas and.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Chairs, barbecue barbecue pits. Yeah, I mean you've got to
all loaded.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Up at the buckets onesis and you name it.
Speaker 2 (23:42):

I was traveling.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I was traveling a bunch, and my daughter got back

Absolutely, we're going to be those guys.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Y'all had to paint some words or something on your chest,
on your stomach.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Hey, we pulled that off in our late twenties at
a football game. Do you remember that we were on
the ESPN highlights it. It was a long harm game.
I don't remember who they were playing, but we had
decent seats and it just started flooding. It was like
a fountain down the stands, just wow. And it was
(01:27):
like up to halfway up your shins and everybody's oh
my gosh. Everybody's stuff was washing down to the front
and most people went under the stands, and Sandy and
I took our shirts off and were screaming for the cameras.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
And I got home and that it was before cell phones.
That's how long ago. That wasn't before cell phones before
I had one, I think, And my home answering machine
was full of college buddies saw me on ESPN, was like,
you idiot, We saw we were like in the Sports
Center Top ten. Yeah, because they play it over and
(02:03):
over and over. We would have been viral on YouTube
had it been around. Oh yeah, back back then. Yeah,
we were those guys. So I say we do it
again without the rain at the ChB Center tonight.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Just be the loud, obnoxious guys.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
People around you will love that.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Oh yeah, it would be a lot of fun. Uh So, anyway,
that's happening tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
And uh, I'm looking forward to hopefully they'll win tonight
and they play again a Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
If you want to get out there and check it
out at the Hub Center.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Jybe, you're back from Chicago and you hit any big
highlights from there, just all all business, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
It was a conference. I was in and out. It
was one of those ones where it's at the airport hotel,
and so I didn't see anything. And it was bad
weather too, yeah, so it wouldn't have been that great anyway.
So I saw the hotel and the restaurant next door.
That's it in the airport.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
You mentioned that your your daughter is moving you guys,
are she's renting a house.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
She was on Lamar, right, Yeah, she was on an
apartment off South Lamar.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
And she's just not love an apartment life. I get it.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I thought, you know, you know, she's twenty three now.
I thought she'd like the rooftop pool and the gym
and they have a coworking space and lounge and underground
parking is gold in Austin, Texas, right, sure, sure, But
she's like, nah, it's not my thing, not my thing.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
And so we found a cute.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Little house just north of thirty fifth Street, east of Mopac. Cute,
cute little house, and so yeah, we'll start. Luckily, we
have her apartment through the end of the month, so
we can slowly move in.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Oh yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
It's a little costly to do that. I wouldn't recommend it,
but uh yeah, we'll get her all moved in. We've
got time.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
That's fun for her.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
We literally just just got the keys yesterday. We haven't
moved a thing in right on neighborhood though, it is
it's yeah, it's near Central Market, the you know, the
original Central Market, and there's just that whole like lamar
Burnett North lamar burn It is just going through such
a change mm hmm everything around there.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
That's as north as she's ever lived, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, she's lived in Westlake and South Austin,
Travis Heights and South Lamar.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Right, it's a little bit further away from you and
Aaron as well. It's the only time north of the
river for her.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, well, you know, because it's I know, I used
to when I'd live in Westlake, I'd go, yeah, south
of the river.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Most people don't think of.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Westlake as South Austin, but I would claim that it
was South Austin, right exactly.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
She's never lived north.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
But that's the thing though, that's a that's the thing
though for like as her parents, and you want to
get you know, you want to be able to go
back and forth as needed.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Right, Crossing the river can be horrific at.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Times, certain time of the day.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, imagine what it was like before the bridges. What's
that I said? Imagine what it was like before the bridges?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Oh right, Oh, that wasn't I mean, if you see
some of the old pictures before they damned it up
in nineteen sixty, I think there were places where it
was passable, even back when it was wagons. I think
it was down near Pleasant Valley. There's still some old
(05:24):
wagon trails on the rocks. Yeah, that's where they used
to cross because it wasn't damned up.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Isn't funny? As the older you get, the more interested
you are in history. Yeah, I'm waiting for bird watching
to become a thing.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
What exactly is the age that you when you're talking
to somebody, you tell them what route you took to
get there. That's a certain age too, Yeah, or when
your streets.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Your mother does that when they get to her house
and you know, you get there, it goes did you
did you take mopack to blah blah blah and then
go left and it's like, yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
The route becomes very important that I still it never
gets sold on SNL the Californians and they're just spitting
out all the highways and they're rout they.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Took the number.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Oh right, it is so and they always break character
because it's so funny.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Coming up, Tricia has the story We Love? What do
you have?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
All right?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
We're going to talk about a sport that was started
in Austin back in two thousand and three and it
has now spread to hundreds of cities around the world
and Texas is getting ready to host one of the tournaments. Sandy,
you have first hand interaction with this particular sport.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Versus got the Story We Love and just a moment
a reminder give us a follow on Instagram. It is
at JB Sandy at X and of course the podcast
is available every single day.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I can't be here for a full hour. Just search
JB and Sandy on the iHeartRadio app. The Stories We Love.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Live from the Lester Holt Studios.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
It's Tricia Delicia all.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Right, Sandy flat track Derby. Do you know what sport
I'm talking about when I say that Derby? Roller Derby?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yes, the Texas roller Girls. I did not realize that
roller derby was still a thing. I remember hearing about
it like back in the day. I don't know, fifteen
years ago, something like that kind of had a rise
and then I haven't heard much since then. But the
Texas roller Girls are hosting in June June fourteenth and
fifteenth the Junior Roller Derby Association Female Division Playoffs for
(07:31):
the first time in Austin.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Really.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yes, it's a big deal. We have our own team.
They have four teams underneath them for home teams. I
love the names of the teams. The hell Mary's, the
Honky Tonk Heartbreakers, the Hot Red Honeys, and the Hustlers.
The Hustlers Yep and yep. They are competing again. Austin
is hosting it for the very first time. World teams
(07:56):
coming in.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Wow. I should take my daughter to that. I think
she could get into that.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah, I know, yeah, she she likes pain and suffering.
You know, she's she's pretty athletic. I could totally see
her getting into this. I think I should take her,
you should, that'd be good.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
I remember watching it in the seventies on TV, and
I remember too they had this one girl and she
had a really big booty and she would go around
just bumping people off of the track.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Isn't that like her job?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Though?
Speaker 5 (08:30):
That's her job cammeras, Yes.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
And they would whip her around there and that was
her move. But I always thought roller derby was kind
of like professional wrastling.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
A little bit fixed. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
It's a little bit theatrical.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Well, if you go to the Texas roller Girls page,
they kind of explain what it is and they're like,
it's a mix of roller skating, athleticism and theatrics for sure.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, there's definitely some athleticism going on there. I had
some experience with that because my rugby club, the Austin Hunts,
we used to do some security for the roller derby
and they would pay us to do it, and so
we'd go out there and there was never any problems,
you know what I mean. We were just kind of
there standing around, yeah, watching the Well, there's no.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
There was never any problems because the Huns were there.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Yeah, the giant men were guarding everything.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
That's true through strength, yes, said Ronald Reagan, right.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yes, exactly right. But that's cool. It's and they have
been at it for a long time. Yeah, with this
in Austin. It came to Austin. They said the flat
track in two thousand and three. There's also a banked
track version of it. Was it too expensive to buy
the get the banked one.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Or you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I guess really really won't pay for a banked one,
so they's.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
They used to have men's roller derby too, really not
in Austin, but I mean I remember seeing men on
TV doing it.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
I've only ever seen it or heard about it with women.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
We actually knew somebody who was on Cindy.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yes, Cindy, she was on the team. It's funny.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I went to a banked track roller derby way back,
like probably the early early nineties to see Joe Eely play.
He played in the middle of the track or like
a break Joe Eely or afterward or something.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And I went with someone who you know, Sandy, Wait,
this is before probably when you and I first met,
but a guy named Jimmy Steele.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
He's a mutual friend. Jimmy lives in New bron Fules.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Now, yeah, he's a radio program legendary radio programmer. He's
a big fan of Joe E Lee. Like, we went
to that show together at a roller Derby.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I wonder if he was dating the roller Derby girls
and that's how Joe E Lee ended up there. That's funny, right,
isn't that random? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, that's super random.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I want to go when is? When is one of
these playoff games?
Speaker 4 (10:48):
The playoff games are June fourteenth and fifteenth at the
Millennium Youth Entertainment Complex. You can buy tickets at at
the Texas Roller Girls page website.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You don't I always remember about ticket Like when our
daughter was younger, she'd go go roller skating and or
have a skate party or something like that. Dude, I
don't know, Jimmy, how long it's been since you've been
in a roller rink. But it is still wildly popular.
It's still popular and adults there are like forty something
year old dudes out there just doing their thing.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I mean, yeah, skate.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
My daughter has a pair of roller skates, like not rollerblades,
roller skates and yeah, don't go do it every day
now and it's still fun.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
But you know what the new thing is now you
don't listen to the music that they're playing.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
You wear.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
They're wearing their own headphones and playing their own music.
That's weird.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
But there's a group of guys. I remember seeing like
three or four of them, and they had this whole routine. Yeah,
they did around the floor. It was kind of very
like Soul Train kind of you know what I mean,
smooth yeah and sleek.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, but it was cool.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
And then the one over off of off of one
to eighty three skate Land.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
They're expanding.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
They're expanding into the old antique mall right, and I
think they're adding maybe Bowling Alley into that section two.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
All I can say is that I was so relieved
when our daughter was old enough to figure out how
to stop herself not using the half high concrete wall. Yeah,
that's how. That was the way she would figure out
to stop herself. She flipped over it a couple of times. Yeah,
I was like, you've got to use your stop, run your.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I thought she's going to go through it. I thought
she was going on.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
I thought she had carnal injuries.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
One time, right, Well, that's fun. Get out and support that,
otherwise it'll go away and then Austin Nights'll be all
been out of state because the Austin Roller girls went away.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
And what's their team name, the Texas roller They have
four teams, they have like four different teams that they
work in her one of my favorite names, the Texecutioners.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Their team to be feared, right, definitely fear of that, right,
that's the story.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
We love.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Stay with us more coming up on Austin Davies Station
one O three point one. Our daughter celebrated her sixteenth
birthday on Friday, had a party on Saturday. And what
they did was we rented a limousine and her and
ten of her friends got in the limousine and drove
to BUCkies in bass Drop yep.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Piled out of BUCkies, shopped and limo back home.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
So awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, and they had a big, big time. I mean
they they loved it. They had a little karaoke machine
that they brought with them into the limousine.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Limo, so the whole most of the party was just
cruising in a limo and playing music.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And yeah, that so great. You could hear them singing
from the car. We followed them at Landry was like,
why aren't you guys going? And we're like what, So
any we followed uh out there to BUCkies and so
we got some video and stuff of them getting out
of the limo at BUCkies, which was really funny. And
then they had like forty five minutes in an hour
inside of BUCkies and they shot OpEd and we gave
(14:01):
each kid ten bucks to buy Landry a gag gift
in BUCkies. And it's pretty funny some of the stuff
you can get for ten bucks at buckets. Yeah, but
we went in and I got I thought of you, actually, JB.
You told us that you and Aaron loved those brisket sandwiches.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
And I was so stressed.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Out because they've got the single decker one and they
got the X X L size at BUCkies.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
And one was too small and one, Sandy's word, was
too big. Yeah, I was freaking out that it wasn't
stress I ended.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Up getting the small one.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
But anyway, so we went out and sat in the
car and ate our chop our slice beef sandwiches and
and I got a bag of those I can't.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Pretty good sandwiches. Great.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, the I can't help myself, but I love those
pecan prailing pecans that they have there, so I got
a bag of those and a doctor pepper.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
I mean, the wheels just came off my healthy eating
just right. But boy, did we see a scene the parking.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
We're sitting in the car eating, looking around, and you
know that I have eight hundred gas pumps at the BUCkies.
Out of nowhere, this little red, little sporty sedan came
zipping through. I mean there's hundreds of people in cars
walking around in this in this parking lot, zips right
in front of us and and really quickly pulls in.
(15:22):
This little guy gets out, puts his gas in, starts
at pumping, and then walks very angrily. Yeah, he's this
short little guy wearing shorts and socks pulled up to
his knees, kind of sway backed and pot belly. But
he was really young, like too young to have a
sway back pot belly. It's very strange, like he's very
(15:43):
He marches across two bays of gas pumps and confronts
this older man and they kind of get into it,
back and forth with each other. I think he was
accusing the older man of stealing his gas pump. Meanwhile, again,
there's eighth enough right right, But this was the kind
of guy that you could just tell by his whole attitude.
(16:04):
He wanted to make sure this man knew exactly what
his opinion was of what he thought happened. I mean,
I for sure Sandy got his phone out and started videoing. Yeah,
I thought they were gonna.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Go at it.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
My Bundy was on the old man too.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
I know, I was like, I don't know what happened here,
but I side with the older man.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
The older man was just like, have a nice day.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
So this little guy, annoying guy marches back to his car,
labb into the guy in his car about what's going on,
finishes pumping his gas, and I mean, we're right there,
right in front of him, parked in a spot.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
We're behind him, I mean, we're behind it, but he's
right in front of us.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
He backs out and zips across, almost hits the front
of my car, crossing over like where normally cars would
be parked. He's not driving in the like driving lane
of a Bucky's. Again, there's so many people around and
right when he crossed in front of in my car.
I just laid on the horn, laid on the horn.
(16:59):
He drove a little bit farther and then stopped, and
for one split second, I was like, he's getting ready
to back up and come over here. Now, let me
let everybody know, people who don't know, Sandy is six
foot one, giant, broad shouldered, bald headed guy. Normally, in
situations that I think there might be some sort of interaction,
(17:19):
I'm all, easy, big fella, I'm hoping people don't walk
over to him. But in this case, because that guy
was so annoying just watching him, I was like, please
let him back up, Please let him come over here,
and let me see the look on his face when
Sandy unfolds himself out of my car after he.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Had went over there.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Let me add to Sandy's description picture arms like Popeye, yeah,
and hands he's wearing catchers mits those are his hands.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Bald guy.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
Oh that I would have given anything for that little
annoying worp to come back over to the car, because
normally I'm all holding Sandy bag. I'd have been like,
go get him, go get a big fella.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Something kind of similar happened that summer that I spent
in South Dakota. I was with my buddy Marlin, and
there was this guy in a in a little what
a little tiny side by side, you know, and he
was going really slow in a neighborhood and we passed
him and then he and he was shooting the finger
at us and doing all kinds of stuff. And then
(18:24):
he pulls up right behind us where we parked at
the golf course.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
And side by side is like an off road vehicle.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Right right right, and they're street legal in that part
of South Dakota, and so he's all bowing up and
stuff and I'll never forget. We get out of the
car and we start walking back to the to talk
to this guy, and my friend Marlin says, well.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Now, let you know what you're dealing with. You got
something to say.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
That is amazing.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Yeah. I was like, that's pretty quick. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
He was like, oh no, no, it's all good.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It's all good, it's all good. Oh.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
I told Sandy that little torp in the parking lot.
I was like, somebody is going to punch that guy
in the face.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That's a guy that's never been punched in the face, right,
you know what I mean, He's a guy that's never
ever been just laid out flat, never.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Gone through life being lippy and getting away with it exauly.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
I didn't just think that he was way more important.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
I mean, you would not believe how fast he was
driving in the BUCkies parking lot, people walking around cars everywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
There's probably more and more of that with adults now
because it's so.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Unacceptable to have schoolyard.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Fights, yeah, which were the norm in the seventies, when
you just sort it out on the playground or whatever
at home out front.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
No, it's not acceptable.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
You'll end up in a lawsuit from another family if
your kids start to fight.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
It's just so weird. That's I mean that that was
a part of growing up, is learning.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
How to behave that way exactly because the consequences can sluck.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
One of my a friend of mine, his son got
in a fight at school and got punched right in
the nose.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
And he came home.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
His dad's a retired marine, and he goes, all right,
he goes, so he got punched the nose. He goes,
what'd you learn And he's like, uh, he goes that
you can take a punch in the nose and not
buy You're gonna be okay, it's gonna be all right,
he covers, better learn to move a little quicker next time.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
So, but I think you're right. I mean, Jimmy, you
have a great point that there's just a I don't know,
there's something to be said as a young person for
getting in a fight because it prevents you from getting
in fights when you're older.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Right, it teaches you, like red flag, don't mess with
this person, or this is not my figure out how
to sort something out?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Like yeah, it just it's just like the nature.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
And don't you.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Especially with road rage incidents. I mean, I'm kind of
bet and here in Austin, Texas, Central Texas, I'm saying
about ninety percent of the cars have guns in them.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah, a lot, although I have one quite often.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yeah, I mean, so do I and don't want to
use it. No, not at all. But I mean there's
a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
That guy could have easily gotten really scared at the
BUCkies the older gentleman and reached into his truck and.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Shot that guy, right if he felt threatened. Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
He what I was impressed with.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I'm not saying he was an old man, he was
an older man than this little twarp guy. But when
he saw the guy marching over to him, that man
stopped trumping his gas and stepped up, like started walking
towards the twerp and stepped up to him and did
not back down. And I think that startled him a
little bit. Yeah, it kind of stopped him in his tracks.
But man, he was flapping his gums.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
In loans moments. If you just take a second, shut up,
take a breath, pause, and then let it go. Just
move on, right, I can't go got hurt.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You could have and again, eight hundred other park places
to pump gas in that parking lot. It's not like
he was waiting for the one that got stolen.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
On a side note, why didn't we think of BUCkies? Oh?
Invented because they cost millions to build? Yeah that's true
even if that was the idea. But they pay it
off in a day.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Yeah, I was fifty three thousand square feet.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Oh, I would love to how much money they generate
in a day?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Like what's there? Gosh?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, Like what at the end of the day when
they close out all the registers, how much.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Is Yeah, what's the number?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
You know? What's great about BUCkies is they're always really
well staffed. You have you never have to wait.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Oh yeah, okay, I just found it. At twenty twenty two,
study revealed that during peak travel periods, a single buckets
could generate half a million dollars a day.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Oh my.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
And let's say they're operating on a thirty percent margin profit.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
I don't know. Yeah, and that includes gas the half
a million, and the margins are short on that. That's
probably right, that's probably a break even at maybe a
tiny margin. But they just want you. You're gonna come
in the store for a minimum of thirty minutes, right.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I couldn't believe I got in and out of there
for twenty bucks.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
No, yeah, I spent twenty two.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I don't know how. Then you went right to what
you wanted and you left exactly.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
It's otherwise. You know, you're buying swim trunks, pajamas and.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Chairs, barbecue barbecue pits. Yeah, I mean you've got to
all loaded.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Up at the buckets onesis and you name it.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
They're going nationwide too, Yeah, they're they're in several states now, Yeah,
a huge, huge, huge, it's the j great.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Thing out of Texas.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Another great well, you're welcome, You're you're welcome, you're welcome.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yeah. People
