Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Sandy, and before we get to today's show,
just going to let you know that the JB and
Sandy Hour is now from seven until eight o'clock Monday
through Friday. That's seven until eight o'clock Monday through Friday.
And don't forget you can use your smart speaker to listen.
We've made it easier. All you have to do is
say play one three to one Austin. Hey, if you
park downtown in a certain spot, you might get a
(00:21):
ticket where you used to not get a ticket. We'll
tell you about it in just a second. It's the
JB and Sandy Hour. My name is Sandy. This is JB. Hello,
and Trisha's here as well. Hi everybody, and I am
in Omaha, Nebraska right now because I had to come
up here. My dad had a little episode where he
was in the hospital for a couple of days, so
I came up here to hang out. And it's kind
of strange because I'm doing the show for my childhood bedroom,
(00:45):
which is always just he.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, you told me the other night, You're like, by
the way, I found my old playboys. I'm totally looking
through him right now in this closet.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
My playboys from nineteen seventy and why an eleven year
old had playboys, I don't know, but I did.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
We all did. We scavenged for him. We didn't buy them.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
We found them in car washes and places.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Is like sid diving was like.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
We brought somebody else's pa, somebody's playboy they were done with.
Was gold for.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Us to think about that, I mean, that's pretty sad.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I told you.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
We me and my buddy, Me and my buddy Larry
used to find them when we were out running and
like middle school, on long run cross country runs, we'd
find him on the roadside, roll them up like it
was an Olympic baton.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Run it to get home.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
That got you, That got you the last little bit
of energy you needed to make it home.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Huh oh. You couldn't wait to get home, and you
just prayed to God your parents weren't when you got there,
right open, they weren't there. So anyway, I'm in Nebraska
for I don't know how long I'm going to be here.
But dad's doing a lot better. He came home from
the hospital and is doing great. And I knew he
was doing better because the hospital that he was at
the window that he looked out of lined up perfectly
(02:19):
with the runway at off At Air Force Base, and
they were doing some exercises at off it where a
lot of airplanes were practicing touch and goes. And so
we saw a steady stream of airplanes coming in and
we watched him for half hours. They come in. My
dad just like excited. I mean, he was like a
little boy watching the airplanes take off, practice on approach
(02:43):
and then touchdown and then take off again. It was cool.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
And for those who don't know he was a he's
pilot and Air Force colonel, and like, yeah, he knows
what exactly we're doing and the exercises everything. That's cool.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Right.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
The last time he went in the plane went up
in a plane.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Goshaw, on his last flight when he retired. Yeah, and
back in.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Really he hasn't gone up for just like a nostalgic reason.
There's no an event or anything.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
No, he never did he In fact, I asked him
once I go what was your last flight? And he
remembered the date in the day from Washington, d C.
Back to Nebraska. And I was like, was there a
party or anything afterwards, or you know, did they is
there any traditional things that happened. He's like, I didn't
even tell him. I'm like, why not? He said, because
(03:27):
I didn't want to get my uniform wet, you know
what I mean. It was like they would have they
don't get my flight super messy. They would have poured
champagne on them or something like that. But he was like, yeah,
that's an RC one five. Yeah, I know, he's just
my dad's you know my dad is.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yeah, he's your dad's younger than the greatest generation, the
World War II generation, but he's got that vibe. Yes,
he's got that same mindset. Do I think that is
that abscurate?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Absolutely he does. He still does. Yeah, has it. But
he got excited watching the He's like, yeah, that's an
RC one thirty five coming in. Look they're gonna drop
gear here right about here. They're you know, it was
just doing a play by play for me. It was cool,
it was, but that's what I knew.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Oh my god, if that was a YouTube channel, that
would be a hit. Oh yeah, someone voicing over exercises
military exercise would be a massive hit.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
That would be It was cool. And then you'd see
him come down and you see him looping around again
and then come back and stuff. So here's the deal
about the parking in downtown Austin. They are now giving
tickets underneath I thirty five between sixth and seventh Street. Now,
I know that's a very very small niche of people
that park there, but that what I was reading is
that was like the go to spot if you were downtown.
(04:40):
You would give the homeless person a few bucks, they
would watch your car have no problem, and that's where
you would leave it. It was like a go to place.
But now they're writing tickets for people parking underneath thirty
five between six and seventh Street, which is pretty close
to the APD headquarters right there on seventh Street. But
it just made me the inca back in the day
(05:01):
go to parking spots that you had. I had one
when I go down to the Copper Tank between fifth
and fourth on Trinity. There there's an alley there on
the west side of the street, and you could pull
in there and park and you're literally half a block
from the Copper Tank. Never got a ticket, never got towed.
(05:22):
I parked there four years when I went downtown and
then one day I got the ticket. But they used
to never gotcha. There used to be one up and
it was I think it was a state building in
the Warehouse district near Fourth in Colorado that you could
go down into the garage. Do you remember that one you?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, that building's still there. That building's actually still there. Yeah,
the kind of stone building with the maroon rails. Yes,
like these dark reddish maroon rails. That building's still there.
We used to go down there and park, and I
think way back in the day they cut it off
to weekend evening parking because people would just I mean
think about the mindset. Back then, people would drink on
(06:01):
their way downtown. They'd park, they did jump out their cans,
pee a lot and then go out, and so they
blocked they blocked that off to the public. After we
had we abused it because we're animals. Yeah, I still
have a go to secret spot.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Where is it you still that you can still Yes.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I'm not going to totally give it away.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Oh, don't don't do that.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
But it's it's under a building and it's kind of
kind of a loading zone, but not it is because
there's some there's some commercial in there with loading zones,
and then there's some residential loading areas and there's this
little spot in it's right up against a wall, like
(06:50):
a big tall wall. And so uh, I'll go in
there and I'll back my truck and just wedge it
up like it's on the passenger side, so the mirrors
practically scraping the wall. Yeah. That if a tow truck
driver saw that, he'd be like and then and then
I cranked I put it in four wheel drive and
crank the wheels. Yeah, and I and my theory is
that a tow truck driver's going to see that and
(07:11):
go oh, I can't get that out of there without
scraping up the whole side of it, the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I can't believe it's not only a super secret spot,
but that it's big enough for your truck.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
You.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I mean my friend Jack when we would go out,
she always had a big, giant truck. We could never
go out in her truck unless we were going to
Dallas Nightclub to go two stepping. It's only placed her
truck would fit to park. Otherwise we had to take
whoever's car was the smallest to try and squeeze in
any parking place we could find.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
And that's the blessing in the Curse of a big truck.
It's one is very very hard to park, but two
I might again. My theory is if somebody's towing, somebody's
doing a hot lap as a tow truck driver, they're
going to skip it and grab the prius right the
easy in and out yet whatever's easiest, and you just
make it look difficult.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It's always have you ever been Have you ever been
towed though from downtown or anywhere else and had to
go out to the.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
It's been a long time, but yeah, it's the worst.
Last time I was serves because my daughter got towed
for the first time. They just so difficult.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
They're difficult.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
But if you've seen the videos of how easy it
is for them to get like three seconds hook a
car up and it's gone.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Out of weird spots too.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
They have the little machines that turn the car sideways
and lifted out all kinds of crazy stuff. Like I
feel like yours truck is the last one that is untowable.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It's funny too.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
They just they just insult you because they're like, well,
we need to see your your registration and insurance before
we can release it. And I'm like it's in the car.
I mean, how many times does that happen? You're like,
it's in the car, and they're like, sorry, can't help you.
Like I have another key right here to the car.
I can show you that it fits.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Sorry, sorry, can't help sorry, sorry, yeah, sorry, you gotta
have cash.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Just miserable there.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Those are the people who they love being able to
just stick it to anybody that they can't.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Okay, I understand you work for a towing company. That's great.
And then if you if you're a tow truck driver,
you'll probably appreciate this. Like, just because it's a wrecking yard,
you could still have a nice looking office.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yet they choose, they choose to.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Make it look like a little converted gas station bathroom. Right, Like,
just because you work in this industry, you could finish
it up. You could put some sheet rock up and
paint it and maybe hang some art pictures of your family,
your dog. Instead it looks like just prison bathroom bathroom.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Stay with us. There is something happening in art exhibit
that's happening in Austin that when I tell you who
it's featuring the featured artist is, you're gonna go. I
had no idea she was an artist, because she's certainly
not known for that. We'll tell you about in just
a second. Also, Tricia, what do you have coming up
in the story? Belive? All right?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I have a Valentine's Day story coming up. Listen up.
Anybody who wants to create a situation where they look
like a hero in front of their date, I have
the guy for you.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
All right, stay with us. It's coming up on Austin's
eighty station one O three point one. If you want
to look like a hero on your Valentine date, stick around.
Trius is going to tell you how you can do that.
But first, there is an exhibit starting Friday at the
Umlaf Sculpture Garden that really kind of surprised me because
I had no idea that this woman was an artist
(10:51):
as well. The name of the exhibit is called Beyond
the Bombshell. Faara Faucet.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah yeah, yeah, she was a student of Umlau. I
don't really know his full name. Yeah yeah, yeah, because
I and I only know this because they had a
statue on loan at Hotel Ella.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
For a while.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah, remember, and it was it was it was Farah
Fawcet and nude, but it was standing in and I
couldn't quit staring at it all. But but then our
friend Bart kind of gave me the download of that.
Like he was he was a sculptor, obviously an artist,
(11:38):
and she was a student of his. And I think
they had a flaying or something, right, I don't know why,
maybe not. I shouldn't say. I shouldn't say they had
a fling if I don't know, ye, But yeah, this
was like people forget that Pharah facet was at the
University of Texas and knocking around here back in the day, and.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I'm totally forgotten about that sculpture of hers at that
I remember seeing it at Hotel Ella. Well, this starts
on Friday. It's described as while Phara Fosce is widely
celebrated for her Hollywood fame and beauty, this exhibition and
builds a more intimate side of her life, exploring her
talent for art and showing the extensive legacy she created.
Beyond the Spotlight again, that starts Friday at the Umdloff
(12:23):
Sculpture Stories we love, all right.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
So this story has a little bit of a comic
book Heiro element in it. It's also a little bit
danger involved. Right, there's a man he's in Malaysia and
he started a business where basically he's a villain for hire.
What you do is you pay him to show up
wherever you are and start harassing your partner, and then
(12:47):
you step in and you beat him up and you
look like the hero. And one of the things he
advertises is are you tired of your partner thinking your week?
I can help you prove them wrong. So it's a
total setup. He charges like twenty five thirty forty bucks. Yeah,
and then you look like the big keyro and you
probably get a little Knoki that night.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
It's funny til you get killed. It's like the YouTubers,
you know we were talking about the other day, taking
all these risks just to get hits, letting out you
could get killed.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, he says, it's like an act.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
He's like, you're not really actually, it's like a WWEE
type thing, like you rehearse it, but you're not actually
hurting each other. He's just the what looks like, I mean,
he'll take a few a few hits for you. But
but yeah, that's what you can do if you need that.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Let me ask Aatricia would that do it for you?
If that incident happened and Sandy steps up.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Well, no, here's the ill. More often than not, it's
me holding Sandy back from hitting somebody. His first go
to with anything that gets a little bit sideways is
his hands. His fists come up, and I'm all, hang
on easy, big boy.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
No, it happened at the Moody Center. You were at
the Moody Center going to a show, may have been Chappelle,
I don't remember which show it was. And there was
this two thes, two couples. There's a long line to
get in, and we had stood in that line for
quite a while and it was hot, and we saw
these two couples just jump the line, like just got
(14:21):
in front of people. And I'm like, uh huh no, no, no, no,
no no. So I said something kind of loud and
I was like, hey, into lines back there, Bud, and
he just looked at me and I'm like, no, I started,
and I was gonna go over and say something, SEEZ
stop it right now. I stop it.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
But yeah, I will say too though that I was like,
I turned around to the people behind me and I
was like, just so, y'all know those two couples right
there just cut in line. And I stepped around and
I was like, you guys, right there, these guys, I'm
just letting y'all know, these people are cutting in line.
Sandy was mouthing, and then finally I was like, and
now we gotta stop.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
We have to stop right and Truss just like, calm down.
I don't want to calm down.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I was being mouthy, but he was wanting to fight.
So yeah, no, this this incident, I would not need
to hire somebody to come for Sandy to beat them
up to make him look like a macho guy, because
I'm doing the opposite a lot, keeping him from me.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
How much business can this guy do on Valentine Night?
I mean, unless he's got a staff of guys spread
out across Malaysia, He's how many beatens can he take
in one night? You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Look right, he's probably running it year round. Maybe this
is just a Valentine special, but I mean any kind
of a date or whatever that somebody wants to impress,
you know, their date, so who knows. I mean, you
can make a business out of anything. Apparently.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
My gosh, let's say I watch a lot of shark
tank and you just go, this is not scalable. Yeah,
Mark Cuban, you can only take so many beatings in
a date.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
And then your dad. And here's the risk that you
also run is a bystander getting involved, you know what
I mean, some guy that's just saying looking for a
fight to begin with, wants to help out and you know,
beat somebody up. So I don't know, this is not
a good business plan. I would for that reason. I'm
(16:19):
out if I'm sure I wasn't pitching it to you guys.
Just to be clear, stay with us. We've got more
coming up on Austin's Eighties station one o three point one. Hey,
thanks to all you guys have downloaded the podcast version
of the show. We appreciate it. It's available every single
day on the iHeartRadio app, so grab it. And also
(16:42):
just a quick reminder that you can use your smart
speaker to listen. All you have to do is say
play one oh three one. Austin JBI says he's got
something to add to the list of things that you
should not say to your wife. What is it?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yes, I want to help everybody out, and like I
said before, I've been married twenty six years. I think
I've learned a lot some good, bad done, pretty good,
pretty good track record. Yeah, well, I don't get in
trouble very often. But I don't care what you're thinking
in your head and how you feel. What I said
(17:19):
to my wife should not come out of your mouth.
The question she had. The question was what do you
think of this little black dress?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
The answer that you should never say is did you
get that out of a vending machine?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Oh? My god?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
How is there no survival instinct in your head to
make sure you didn't say that?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
What was the reaction?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Uh? She laughed so hard for the rest of the evening.
Ask her about it sometime. Do I think I had No,
I don't think i've ever I've not heard her laugh
that hard and a long time. Uncontrollable could not stop
laughing at that response. But at first it was like
(18:20):
what she just started dying laughing. She's like, where did
you come up with that?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
My god?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I thought it was you were in the doghouse. Still
kind of a result is what you were going to say?
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Kind of she probably won't wear that dress again. But
after we quit laughing, I kind of thought, you know,
this might actually be a good business idea. A little
little black dress vending machine in an airport when you're
in a pinch and you forgot something yep, and you
see like you only need a handful of sizes. Little
(18:56):
black dress, very basic and it could have come when
it could have come from a video. Whatever she was wearing.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
It comes like in a little yeah something.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Like you remember when you said that we're getting the
pantyhose in an egg. Yeah, it'd be like that little
black dress and an egg the egg dress.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
This could be a thing, This could be adventure.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Oh well, that's kind of a home run for you. JB.
Though that you got a big laugh. I mean, that's
hard to do.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I know, I know it was funny. It was very
offensive at first until she realized how funny it was.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I feel like there was this moment right after you
said it, when she was trying to like interpret it,
that you were all.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Oh, crap, what's gonna happen? This could go either way.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I believe it was relief that she laughed for you.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
It's funny. I don't have an opinion either way. Ninety
percent of the time, same thing when she puts on
two different shoes, like every other day and says which one,
like I have to act like I'm really adamant about
one or the other when we don't hear they both
look great and they're going to keep your feet off
(19:59):
the ground.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Just go with it, you know that.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I wish you would become a fashion I wish you'd
become a fashion trend where you wear two different shoes.
Then this would be big.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah, you're done, the number one, top of the list thing.
On a serious note that you never say to your wife.
You know what that is, right j B. It's you're
just like your mother.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ever ever.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Say that or calm down? Oh yeah, tell me to
calm down. Don't ever tell me to calm down. Thanks
for listening. We'll see on the radio every morning from
six until ten on Austin's eighties station one O three
point one and streaming on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
We all did. We scavenged for him. We didn't buy them.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
We found them in car washes and places.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Is like sid diving was like.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
We brought somebody else's pa, somebody's playboy they were done with.
Was gold for.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Us to think about that, I mean, that's pretty sad.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I told you.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
We me and my buddy, Me and my buddy Larry
used to find them when we were out running and
like middle school, on long run cross country runs, we'd
find him on the roadside, roll them up like it
was an Olympic baton.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Run it to get home.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
That got you, That got you the last little bit
of energy you needed to make it home.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Huh oh. You couldn't wait to get home, and you
just prayed to God your parents weren't when you got there,
right open, they weren't there. So anyway, I'm in Nebraska
for I don't know how long I'm going to be here.
But dad's doing a lot better. He came home from
the hospital and is doing great. And I knew he
was doing better because the hospital that he was at
the window that he looked out of lined up perfectly
(02:19):
with the runway at off At Air Force Base, and
they were doing some exercises at off it where a
lot of airplanes were practicing touch and goes. And so
we saw a steady stream of airplanes coming in and
we watched him for half hours. They come in. My
dad just like excited. I mean, he was like a
little boy watching the airplanes take off, practice on approach

Speaker 3 (02:46):
And for those who don't know he was a he's
pilot and Air Force colonel, and like, yeah, he knows
what exactly we're doing and the exercises everything. That's cool.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Right.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
The last time he went in the plane went up
in a plane.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Goshaw, on his last flight when he retired. Yeah, and
back in.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Really he hasn't gone up for just like a nostalgic reason.
There's no an event or anything.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
No, he never did he In fact, I asked him
once I go what was your last flight? And he
remembered the date in the day from Washington, d C.
Back to Nebraska. And I was like, was there a
party or anything afterwards, or you know, did they is
there any traditional things that happened. He's like, I didn't
even tell him. I'm like, why not? He said, because
(03:27):
I didn't want to get my uniform wet, you know
what I mean. It was like they would have they
don't get my flight super messy. They would have poured
champagne on them or something like that. But he was like, yeah,
that's an RC one five. Yeah, I know, he's just
my dad's you know my dad is.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Yeah, he's your dad's younger than the greatest generation, the
World War II generation, but he's got that vibe. Yes,
he's got that same mindset. Do I think that is
that abscurate?
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Absolutely he does. He still does. Yeah, has it. But
he got excited watching the He's like, yeah, that's an
RC one thirty five coming in. Look they're gonna drop
gear here right about here. They're you know, it was
just doing a play by play for me. It was cool,
it was, but that's what I knew.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Oh my god, if that was a YouTube channel, that
would be a hit. Oh yeah, someone voicing over exercises
military exercise would be a massive hit.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
That would be It was cool. And then you'd see
him come down and you see him looping around again
and then come back and stuff. So here's the deal
about the parking in downtown Austin. They are now giving
tickets underneath I thirty five between sixth and seventh Street. Now,
I know that's a very very small niche of people
that park there, but that what I was reading is
that was like the go to spot if you were downtown.
(04:40):
You would give the homeless person a few bucks, they
would watch your car have no problem, and that's where
you would leave it. It was like a go to place.
But now they're writing tickets for people parking underneath thirty
five between six and seventh Street, which is pretty close
to the APD headquarters right there on seventh Street. But
it just made me the inca back in the day
(05:01):
go to parking spots that you had. I had one
when I go down to the Copper Tank between fifth
and fourth on Trinity. There there's an alley there on
the west side of the street, and you could pull
in there and park and you're literally half a block
from the Copper Tank. Never got a ticket, never got towed.
(05:22):
I parked there four years when I went downtown and
then one day I got the ticket. But they used
to never gotcha. There used to be one up and
it was I think it was a state building in
the Warehouse district near Fourth in Colorado that you could
go down into the garage. Do you remember that one you?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, that building's still there. That building's actually still there. Yeah,
the kind of stone building with the maroon rails. Yes,
like these dark reddish maroon rails. That building's still there.
We used to go down there and park, and I
think way back in the day they cut it off
to weekend evening parking because people would just I mean
think about the mindset. Back then, people would drink on
(06:01):
their way downtown. They'd park, they did jump out their cans,
pee a lot and then go out, and so they
blocked they blocked that off to the public. After we
had we abused it because we're animals. Yeah, I still
have a go to secret spot.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Where is it you still that you can still Yes.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
I'm not going to totally give it away.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Oh, don't don't do that.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
But it's it's under a building and it's kind of
kind of a loading zone, but not it is because
there's some there's some commercial in there with loading zones,
and then there's some residential loading areas and there's this
little spot in it's right up against a wall, like
(06:50):
a big tall wall. And so uh, I'll go in
there and I'll back my truck and just wedge it
up like it's on the passenger side, so the mirrors
practically scraping the wall. Yeah. That if a tow truck
driver saw that, he'd be like and then and then
I cranked I put it in four wheel drive and
crank the wheels. Yeah, and I and my theory is
that a tow truck driver's going to see that and
(07:11):
go oh, I can't get that out of there without
scraping up the whole side of it, the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I can't believe it's not only a super secret spot,
but that it's big enough for your truck.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
You.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I mean my friend Jack when we would go out,
she always had a big, giant truck. We could never
go out in her truck unless we were going to
Dallas Nightclub to go two stepping. It's only placed her
truck would fit to park. Otherwise we had to take
whoever's car was the smallest to try and squeeze in
any parking place we could find.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
And that's the blessing in the Curse of a big truck.
It's one is very very hard to park, but two
I might again. My theory is if somebody's towing, somebody's
doing a hot lap as a tow truck driver, they're
going to skip it and grab the prius right the
easy in and out yet whatever's easiest, and you just
make it look difficult.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
It's always have you ever been Have you ever been
towed though from downtown or anywhere else and had to
go out to the.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
It's been a long time, but yeah, it's the worst.
Last time I was serves because my daughter got towed
for the first time. They just so difficult.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
They're difficult.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
But if you've seen the videos of how easy it
is for them to get like three seconds hook a
car up and it's gone.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Out of weird spots too.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
They have the little machines that turn the car sideways
and lifted out all kinds of crazy stuff. Like I
feel like yours truck is the last one that is untowable.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It's funny too.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
They just they just insult you because they're like, well,
we need to see your your registration and insurance before
we can release it. And I'm like it's in the car.
I mean, how many times does that happen? You're like,
it's in the car, and they're like, sorry, can't help you.
Like I have another key right here to the car.
I can show you that it fits.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Sorry, sorry, can't help sorry, sorry, yeah, sorry, you gotta
have cash.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Just miserable there.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Those are the people who they love being able to
just stick it to anybody that they can't.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Okay, I understand you work for a towing company. That's great.
And then if you if you're a tow truck driver,
you'll probably appreciate this. Like, just because it's a wrecking yard,
you could still have a nice looking office.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yet they choose, they choose to.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Make it look like a little converted gas station bathroom. Right, Like,
just because you work in this industry, you could finish
it up. You could put some sheet rock up and
paint it and maybe hang some art pictures of your family,
your dog. Instead it looks like just prison bathroom bathroom.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Stay with us. There is something happening in art exhibit
that's happening in Austin that when I tell you who
it's featuring the featured artist is, you're gonna go. I
had no idea she was an artist, because she's certainly
not known for that. We'll tell you about in just
a second. Also, Tricia, what do you have coming up
in the story? Belive? All right?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I have a Valentine's Day story coming up. Listen up.
Anybody who wants to create a situation where they look
like a hero in front of their date, I have
the guy for you.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
All right, stay with us. It's coming up on Austin's
eighty station one O three point one. If you want
to look like a hero on your Valentine date, stick around.
Trius is going to tell you how you can do that.
But first, there is an exhibit starting Friday at the
Umlaf Sculpture Garden that really kind of surprised me because
I had no idea that this woman was an artist
(10:51):
as well. The name of the exhibit is called Beyond
the Bombshell. Faara Faucet.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah yeah, yeah, she was a student of Umlau. I
don't really know his full name. Yeah yeah, yeah, because
I and I only know this because they had a
statue on loan at Hotel Ella.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
For a while.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah, remember, and it was it was it was Farah
Fawcet and nude, but it was standing in and I
couldn't quit staring at it all. But but then our
friend Bart kind of gave me the download of that.
Like he was he was a sculptor, obviously an artist,
(11:38):
and she was a student of his. And I think
they had a flaying or something, right, I don't know why,
maybe not. I shouldn't say. I shouldn't say they had
a fling if I don't know, ye, But yeah, this
was like people forget that Pharah facet was at the
University of Texas and knocking around here back in the day, and.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I'm totally forgotten about that sculpture of hers at that
I remember seeing it at Hotel Ella. Well, this starts
on Friday. It's described as while Phara Fosce is widely
celebrated for her Hollywood fame and beauty, this exhibition and
builds a more intimate side of her life, exploring her
talent for art and showing the extensive legacy she created.
Beyond the Spotlight again, that starts Friday at the Umdloff
(12:23):
Sculpture Stories we love, all right.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
So this story has a little bit of a comic
book Heiro element in it. It's also a little bit
danger involved. Right, there's a man he's in Malaysia and
he started a business where basically he's a villain for hire.
What you do is you pay him to show up
wherever you are and start harassing your partner, and then
(12:47):
you step in and you beat him up and you
look like the hero. And one of the things he
advertises is are you tired of your partner thinking your week?
I can help you prove them wrong. So it's a
total setup. He charges like twenty five thirty forty bucks. Yeah,
and then you look like the big keyro and you
probably get a little Knoki that night.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
It's funny til you get killed. It's like the YouTubers,
you know we were talking about the other day, taking
all these risks just to get hits, letting out you
could get killed.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, he says, it's like an act.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
He's like, you're not really actually, it's like a WWEE
type thing, like you rehearse it, but you're not actually
hurting each other. He's just the what looks like, I mean,
he'll take a few a few hits for you. But
but yeah, that's what you can do if you need that.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Let me ask Aatricia would that do it for you?
If that incident happened and Sandy steps up.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Well, no, here's the ill. More often than not, it's
me holding Sandy back from hitting somebody. His first go
to with anything that gets a little bit sideways is
his hands. His fists come up, and I'm all, hang
on easy, big boy.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
No, it happened at the Moody Center. You were at
the Moody Center going to a show, may have been Chappelle,
I don't remember which show it was. And there was
this two thes, two couples. There's a long line to
get in, and we had stood in that line for
quite a while and it was hot, and we saw
these two couples just jump the line, like just got
(14:21):
in front of people. And I'm like, uh huh no, no, no, no,
no no. So I said something kind of loud and
I was like, hey, into lines back there, Bud, and
he just looked at me and I'm like, no, I started,
and I was gonna go over and say something, SEEZ
stop it right now. I stop it.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
But yeah, I will say too though that I was like,
I turned around to the people behind me and I
was like, just so, y'all know those two couples right
there just cut in line. And I stepped around and
I was like, you guys, right there, these guys, I'm
just letting y'all know, these people are cutting in line.
Sandy was mouthing, and then finally I was like, and
now we gotta stop.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
We have to stop right and Truss just like, calm down.
I don't want to calm down.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I was being mouthy, but he was wanting to fight.
So yeah, no, this this incident, I would not need
to hire somebody to come for Sandy to beat them
up to make him look like a macho guy, because
I'm doing the opposite a lot, keeping him from me.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
How much business can this guy do on Valentine Night?
I mean, unless he's got a staff of guys spread
out across Malaysia, He's how many beatens can he take
in one night? You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Look right, he's probably running it year round. Maybe this
is just a Valentine special, but I mean any kind
of a date or whatever that somebody wants to impress,
you know, their date, so who knows. I mean, you
can make a business out of anything. Apparently.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
My gosh, let's say I watch a lot of shark
tank and you just go, this is not scalable. Yeah,
Mark Cuban, you can only take so many beatings in
a date.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
And then your dad. And here's the risk that you
also run is a bystander getting involved, you know what
I mean, some guy that's just saying looking for a
fight to begin with, wants to help out and you know,
beat somebody up. So I don't know, this is not
a good business plan. I would for that reason. I'm
(16:19):
out if I'm sure I wasn't pitching it to you guys.
Just to be clear, stay with us. We've got more
coming up on Austin's Eighties station one o three point one. Hey,
thanks to all you guys have downloaded the podcast version
of the show. We appreciate it. It's available every single
day on the iHeartRadio app, so grab it. And also
(16:42):
just a quick reminder that you can use your smart
speaker to listen. All you have to do is say
play one oh three one. Austin JBI says he's got
something to add to the list of things that you
should not say to your wife. What is it?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yes, I want to help everybody out, and like I
said before, I've been married twenty six years. I think
I've learned a lot some good, bad done, pretty good,
pretty good track record. Yeah, well, I don't get in
trouble very often. But I don't care what you're thinking
in your head and how you feel. What I said
(17:19):
to my wife should not come out of your mouth.
The question she had. The question was what do you
think of this little black dress?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
The answer that you should never say is did you
get that out of a vending machine?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Oh? My god?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
How is there no survival instinct in your head to
make sure you didn't say that?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
What was the reaction?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Uh? She laughed so hard for the rest of the evening.
Ask her about it sometime. Do I think I had No,
I don't think i've ever I've not heard her laugh
that hard and a long time. Uncontrollable could not stop
laughing at that response. But at first it was like
(18:20):
what she just started dying laughing. She's like, where did
you come up with that?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
My god?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I thought it was you were in the doghouse. Still
kind of a result is what you were going to say?
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Kind of she probably won't wear that dress again. But
after we quit laughing, I kind of thought, you know,
this might actually be a good business idea. A little
little black dress vending machine in an airport when you're
in a pinch and you forgot something yep, and you
see like you only need a handful of sizes. Little
(18:56):
black dress, very basic and it could have come when
it could have come from a video. Whatever she was wearing.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
It comes like in a little yeah something.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Like you remember when you said that we're getting the
pantyhose in an egg. Yeah, it'd be like that little
black dress and an egg the egg dress.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
This could be a thing, This could be adventure.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Oh well, that's kind of a home run for you. JB.
Though that you got a big laugh. I mean, that's
hard to do.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I know, I know it was funny. It was very
offensive at first until she realized how funny it was.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I feel like there was this moment right after you
said it, when she was trying to like interpret it,
that you were all.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Oh, crap, what's gonna happen? This could go either way.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I believe it was relief that she laughed for you.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
It's funny. I don't have an opinion either way. Ninety
percent of the time, same thing when she puts on
two different shoes, like every other day and says which one,
like I have to act like I'm really adamant about
one or the other when we don't hear they both
look great and they're going to keep your feet off
(19:59):
the ground.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Just go with it, you know that.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I wish you would become a fashion I wish you'd
become a fashion trend where you wear two different shoes.
Then this would be big.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah, you're done, the number one, top of the list thing.
On a serious note that you never say to your wife.
You know what that is, right j B. It's you're
just like your mother.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, ever ever.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Say that or calm down? Oh yeah, tell me to
calm down. Don't ever tell me to calm down. Thanks
for listening. We'll see on the radio every morning from
six until ten on Austin's eighties station one O three
point one and streaming on the iHeartRadio app.
