Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Jam and Sandy Show and you can now
save us as a preset on the iHeartRadio app. It's
Austin's eighty station one oh three point one. Something happened
at the Moody Center over the weekend that brought thirty
million dollars into the city of Austin, and chances are
a lot of people don't even know what happened, but
it is absolutely huge for the people that do know

(00:22):
about it. I think people came in from all over
the world for this. This was a big e sports event,
electronics sports gaming event that happened at the Moody Center.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Tricia. What was it called.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
It was called Blast TV's Counterstrike Major and it was
a culmination.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
It was a playoff tournament.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Apparently for the last few months, people from all over
the world have been competing to get spots in this
final three day playoff. It brought fifty thousand esports fans
to the Moody Center.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Fifty thousand people over this three day tournament.

Speaker 5 (00:55):
To give you some comparison, well, dkrs about of her
just over one hundred thousand. But like at Zilker Park
in ACL fests, you're going to see what fifty to
maybe seventy thousand people in there.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
That's yeah, that's big. They're comparing this event to ACL
and south By. It's that big of a deal, and
apparently it's going to become a regular thing here.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
But people come in.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
It brought, like Sandy said, thirty million dollars into Austin,
and also the prize money for the people who won
was like a million dollars each.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
How many people won, but it was a big deal.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
I remember years ago when they were kind of like
people were buying franchises of teams, just like you would
in the NFL or Major League Baseball. There were people,
and I think Mark Cuban was one of them that
invested heavily and bought an esports team.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
That's how big this is.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
I don't, honestly, I don't even know what games they play,
and this is it saying the article Trisia what they're
competing in. I don't know if it's like Madden Football
or what it is, to be honest, call.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Of duty, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
It doesn't have any specific thing. I think it's just
all the esports. Nothing specific is listed.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
It's crazy the amount of money that there is in this,
and there's I mean, I think there's more money in
the video gaming than there is in the motion picture business.
In movie business, yeah, which it is mind bog lane and.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
Yeah, they've been saying forever that it was going to
be big. It's it is. It's a arrived some time ago.
It's got to be a tough thing. My daughter wasn't
into gaming, and I avoided it when I was younger.
I got like a Sega genesis when I was in
my early twenties, and then all of a sudden, one day,
I was like, I've been doing this for eight hours.

Speaker 6 (02:42):
I gave it away. Man, I gave the thing away.
They're really built to do that too, Like they're built.
They're made to make you keep playing and playing and playing.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
And I have I have an Xbox and play Call
of Duty, but I really manage myself, like I don't
do it until everything else is done and I and.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Then I'm so bad at it.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
I can't play for more than forty five minutes because
I just were so good at it. And then you
got smart ass twelve year olds laughing at you.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
As I was going to say, didn't like one of them,
like forget to use their microphone or something, and scept
said something that hurts your feelings.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
The sports industry is a one point five billion dollar industry,
but the video game industry overall, I think this is
what you were talking about, Sandy. This is from twenty
twenty four, two hundred and twenty billion, compared to the
film industry that is ninety billion. Right, to give you perspective,
the music industry is a thirty five billion dollar annual industry,

(03:45):
two hundred and twenty billion.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
So more than movies and music put together.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah, wow, video games.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Let's do a video game today. You want to make one?

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Make make one?

Speaker 5 (03:58):
It would be we could be lucky to put together Pong.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Right, But doesn't your daughter like going to the arcades
and still pumping the quarters in?

Speaker 2 (04:08):
You don't?

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Yeah, that's just a social thing, you know, Like there's
like she likes that cider cade on Riverside. You pay
like a flat fee of ten bucks and the games
are free, and it's a lot of old school games.
You know, you're you're Tetris and Galaga and cinepac Vans
and Sinnipede.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah right, so that's cool though, And whoever brought it
to Austin that's great.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Hopefully they'll keep bringing it back, right, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
I think it's going to be become one of those
annual events, just like Formula one and and and ACL
all of them they're going to.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
It's a new one that I think is going to
be coming back every year.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
The weekends to.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Do this type of stuff, well that's indoors, so that's
fairly easy, yeah, to pick in Austin. But man, the
weekends to book these big events are really getting slimmer
and slimmer in Austin, right because you have to take
into account you can't have a CL in Austin when
there's a home football game, right, there's hotels.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
There's just not true.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
But didn't they do a CL and F one on
the same weekend one year? Which is nuts?

Speaker 3 (05:12):
They're both in October, but you're saying one year they
were both on the same weekend.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yes, so wow, And you know you'd be paying a
grand to stay to Lakinta, yeah right, yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
And they were doing that crappy minimum five night stay thing.
Remember at F one, they were like all the hotels
were like, you couldn't just book a hotel for one night,
you had to get it for like five nights, which
is which is done. Sure makes south By Southwest seems
smaller now all these other things because when Austin had
was head south By Southwest, we had that in Longhorned

(05:45):
Sports and that was it right that maybe that little
craft brew festival that they used to have down.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
At for.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
That's a long time Pecan street fest.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah, but now it's there's a lot of stuff going on,
so and this just in there's a lot happening in Austin, Texas.

Speaker 5 (06:02):
Right you every weekend? JB.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Are you becoming the guy with the dog on South
Congress a little bit?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah? Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
I have two little ugly terrier rescues. One's one's eleven
years old. One is one and a half, and I
take him to different things. Maverick the old one, he's
my we're running Errand's dog and he's the boat dog.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
And then the Clyde, the younger one. He can behave
himself in social settings better than the old one. So
he's he's the he's like the bar dog. Or was
he the one dog? Was Clyde the one that was
trafficked here from Mexico? Yeah he was, Yeah, he was trafficked.
He was yeah, he uh, that's the young one. He's
a year and a half.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
He he.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
We got him from a rescue that goes down to
South Texas and Mexico and they'll pick up a dozen
dogs at a time and put him in foster homes.
They don't have like a brick and war facility. It's
really cool. It's called if you're interested, it's called Atticus
Legacy Rescue, and you can follow him on socials.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's where we found Clyde.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
But Clyde embarrassed me at my one of my favorite
places last night.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
I was working late.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
I had a lot of stuff to do, and I
was there shutting the place down at eleven PM. I
was the last one in there in a cafe fred Fredo.
I don't know if they I think I pronounced it Fredo.
It's right there at Congress in Oldsworth cool place.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
It's an old, old.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
Historic home turned into a cafe and wine bar. And
we're getting up to leave and Clyde jumps down and
sort of takes off on me and I reach for it,
grab his leash. In his leash had looped around this
little water station. It was like a wood stand with

(07:55):
a water jug on it and all the cups, and
he was darting for the door or he was clearly
ready to go home and knocked over the whole thing.
This is eleven o'clock and the last one in there
they're trying to shut down. I toppled a water station
and the jugs spilt entirely, entirely. They were very nice

(08:21):
and came, you know, they had a mop on it
in minutes.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
But I was like, I am so.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
Sorry, and I just they were like, it's okay, don't
worry about it. They were being really nice.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
I go.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
I said, you guys will get extra tips for the
next month, because I had already closed out.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
I will make this up to you, I promise.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Oh you know inside they were like, dude, we just
want to go home.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
I'm worried that the next time you go back there's
gonna be a sign on the door that says no
dog's allowed, right, yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
Or picture of Clyde.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
Really, it was just so embarrassing, so bad.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
I felt so bad. Did Clyde KNOWID messed up?

Speaker 5 (09:05):
I think so because it was a loud noise when
that thing hit the ground, you know, one of those
big plastic water jokes. Yeah, it was really loud.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
So I'm curious, did you stay till the completion of
cleanup or did you no?

Speaker 2 (09:18):
They were shooing there.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
I think they just wanted me out of there at
that point.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Get out.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Well.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Speaking of dogs, Tricia and I were on the Brushy
Creek trail over the weekend. They were just walking along
and to our left there's this woman walking a young dog.
I would say, he's maybe a year, I don't know.
And we're walking a few more steps and she goes,
wait a minute. She turns around, she goes, I think
that's Chiarne. Like what she goes, You know the dog

(09:51):
I told you about that I met that made this
little mark on my arm with his teeth. His name
is Chicerni. And so Tricia's fretting, wonder if that's Chiaceronnie.
I'm like, just go ask if that's Cheacerne. And she's like, man,
I go, okay, I'll go ask. And then Tricia goes
and she walks up to the owner and I'll let
you take it from there.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Yeah, I go.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
I didn't want to go is your dog's name cheacha Rone?
Because if it wasn't, that's weird. Right, it's super rando
name George. Yeah, I go, what is your dog's name?
And she she's like, am I in trouble? She goes
Cheacha Rone and I was all, chea gerone.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
I go.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
I knew that was him. I go, this is my
husband and my daughter. I go, I told them about
cheach your Rone. When I met him last time, it
had been a couple of months. He was just a poppy.
He's gotten so much bigger. I think he's part pitbull
something else. He's adorable and just so happy to be anywhere,
like jumping up all over the place.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
He scratched my arm.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
So I have a cheecha rone scar and I'm all,
every time I look at it, I'll show Sandy and
Lander and I'll go, cheach your rone. But I love
it how cute he is. And I love that name.
It means pork rind in Spanish, just.

Speaker 4 (11:01):
What I was told.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
And so when I saw him, I was like, I
think that's him. And you guys got just just excited
to meet him.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Right.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
Oh yeah, he was great. He was cool. I liked
him because he was just playful and fun.

Speaker 2 (11:11):

by a rocket.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
I always get sited excited seeing the dogs on the trail.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
I love him.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
I love seeing him. There's something that will behave better
than others, that's for sure.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (11:26):
That's true.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
What are we gonna say, Jamie, No, I just it's
funny you say that because my wife cannot go by
a dog and not stop. Like, yes, like I think
we like dogs better than humans. And when and when
people don't like like just sort of dismiss my cute,
ugly dogs.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah? Every mixed everything with a doodle with the doodle.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
All I know is that before we got our last dog, Shiny,
who was an Australian Shepherd, I talked to our vet
about a doodle. He's like, you know, Trisha, that two
years ago a doodled anything was considered a met Now
they're charging two and three thousand dollars for him. He
was like, just get something that you want to get,
you know what I mean, like the doodle. Just people

(12:31):
will pay for it. But because it became such a
big thing. If you can look at something and not
know what it is, but know that it's been doodled
because of a hair.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Right, Yes, that's true. I want our next dog. I
want a big dog. I'm going to lose this battle,
but I just Landry and I, our sixteen year old,
call it a real dog, like a big dog.

Speaker 5 (12:53):
Like that's what I That's what I campaigned for when
we got Clyde. I said, I want a real dog
this time. And then you ended up with Clyde, like
a larger maybe a female lab mix or something, you know,
jumps in and out of your truck and just you know,
that's what I wanted. And we got Clyde
