(00:30):
Hey everyone, welcome to the JB and Sandy Show. My
name is Sandy. This is jab. Hello. Tresha's here too.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Hi, everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Trisha just keeps coming back.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Y'all, keep letting me come back. I'm here as long
as you let me.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
It's the JB and Sandy ra We'll do it again
tomorrow morning from seven until eight o'clock, so make sure
that you're here for it. You know, yesterday we were
talking about the women's pro volleyball that started yesterday. Austin
has a team. I got a text message. You can
text us anytime seven three seven three zero one ninety
six hundred. This came in yesterday after the show. I
(01:08):
just look up the roster of the new professional volleyball team.
This is from Kathy Miller. By the way, she says
that y'all were talking about on the radio. A lot
of the University of Texas volleyball stars are on this team,
including Madison Skinner, Logan Eggleston, and Asia O'Neill. Sorry if
the names aren't spelled correctly, but thank you for sharing
(01:29):
about this new team. So that's pretty cool. That's Longhorns.
And I was thinking about how cool is that those
those those girls get to continue playing volleyball after college? Right?
Oh yeah, right, there's no an outlet for them to
play professionally and they're playing up at the Cedar Park
cer and I definitely want to go to that for sure.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, we do need to see more of a rise
in women's pro sports because you know, you had the
option to be an Olympian, maybe pro beach volleyball if
that's your thing. But look at how many guys can
make a good living minor league baseball. Yeah, like minor
league Like yeah, so this is a good step for
women's sports.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, women's I don't know if Austin got one, but
I know there was this kind of a trend in
bars that bars that only showed women's sports, and it
was started in Minneapolis.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I think there is going to be one opening in Austin.
I think I remember seeing a blurb about that a
women's sports Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I think we talked about it once too.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, it's the Caitlin Clark effect the basketball player, right,
I mean, oh yeah, that's pretty cool. I think they'll
do well. Actually, uh, this is interesting, guys, and I
like your opinions. Actually I don't like care for Tricia's
opinion than this because her musical taste and knowledge is
just gross.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I mean, you're gross.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
How else to say it? But so, JB, check this out.
Science determined who was more influential the Beatles of the
Stones forever. That's been a debate, right, who's more influential
the Beatles the Stones, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Well,
they did an investigation and they found out did a
(03:10):
bunch of things to figure out who was more influential
and to give you who do you who do you think? JB?
Before I tell you who was number one?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, that's always a controversial thing, but I I one
hundred percent the Beatles, me too. But an argument against
it was, you know, the Beatles did most of what
they did in like four or five years. I mean,
I'm extracting their teen years of learning the craft. But
and then the stones have been added for ever years.
Like that's hard not to value. But I just think
(03:42):
it's some of the The Beatles were breaking more grounds
on music styling and ways of recording, and they adapted
big time. They went from being the the doo woppie
boy band to like psychedelic rockers, like there's a lot there.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah. They went from I want to hold your hand,
you know, all the way to imagine right, it's a revolution. Right. Well,
this so called science says, yeah, the Beatles number one
when it comes to musical influence. In fact, according to
this the Rolling Stones did even come in second place.
That went to led Zeppelin. Oh wow, number two, number
(04:24):
three on the list than the Rolling Stones, more modern,
more of our generation. Really. You two came in fourth
with that interesting. David Bowie fifth, Bob Dylan sixth, Elton
John seventh, Queen was eight. Never liked Queen still instant.
I just yeah, it's not my thing, man, the rock
(04:47):
opera stuff, no, Jimmy Hendricks nine and listen to list
at number ten the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
M that's weird.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
You forget how well they they mixed alternative styling with
like hip hop bass and trust.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, that's unique.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
When I remember when it hit, like in the eighties,
I was like, oh my god, Chili Pepper and they
would just jam on a song for like an hour
when they'd play live, like you know, when once started
or ended or you can say, tea.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Are you mad Nirvana is not on there, because that's
when you were. I remember the first moment I heard
him changed everything.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, I'm I am a little surprised that they're not
in the in the top ten because Nirvana did kind
of change every well, they didn't change everything, They just
eliminated a bunch of crap, you know what I mean, Like,
think about Jamie. Think about what we were listening to
before Neirvana. There's a bunch of crappy hair bands, yeah
guys and make up, Yeah, Twisted Sister and all that
(05:50):
twisted I'm serious, And then those guys came along and
kind of changed everything. Tristia, I'm curious what's your take
on who was more influential the Rolling Stones with the.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Beatles well as somebody who is not a huge fan
really of either one of them.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I would say the Beatles. I agree with what JB said.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I just think that they just came on the scene
and made everything different, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I think they were a lot more influential.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You just pulled that out of your buck.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
No, I did not.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I thought that if you had asked me before you
gave the answer, I'll also tell you that you said
you two.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Is number four, like you too. I don't like them.
I know people will go arrest at me when I
walk outside.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I like the Beatles either.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Wow, So you would probably like this list if it
was the most influential in country.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Probably right, Probably, So, Like.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I'm gonna pick it some George Straight songs over some
Beatles songs like.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Waylon Willie would be up there? To be up there, Yeah,
made it more hip, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Before that, it was a bunch of I mean, he
was like the Taylor Swift of country in the day
when he burst on the scene. Yeah, I mean, there
was nothing that he could sing that didn't wasn't just
number one. Immediately you'd have Merle Haggard in there, of course.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yes, I put the Dixie Chicks in there. You got
to put a few women like oh.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Loved the Dixie Chicks.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, Dolly, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, but my wife still worships Dolly like she's putting
out its today.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Like Dolly's not stopping. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Our daughters, who's fifteen. She was cleaning out her drawers
over the weekend and there was just crap all over
the place in a room. But on the top of
one of the many piles in there was a black
T shirt, Dolly Parton T shirt. Where'd she get that?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I think she got it at a thrift store because
she was super into thrifting for a while.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I think she just saw it, got it. I don't
know why she got rid of it. I was kind
of surprised.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
But yeah, Dolly's everywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Coming up. In just a little bit, we are going
to find out what JB's walkout song would be. We
have several said what ours are? We'll play to ours too,
but Jamy, I need you to think about that.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
You guys have you guys have had this conversation before.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, okay, yeah yeah, okay, And we'll
share all of our walkout songs.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That's the song that if you were in a baseball game,
they would play when you walk out to home plate
to take here at bat. So we've got that coming
up in just a little bit. Also a chance for
you to win one thousand dollars at nine o'clock. And
what do you have in the story we Love coming up? Trisha?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
All right, we're going to talk about the fires in
LA but it's a little bit of a warning about
what could happen here in Austin if we're not careful.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
All right, stay with us. It's coming up on Austin's
eighty station one oh three point one. The Austin Firefighters
Association president had some stern words about what needs to
be done in Austin to avoid to avoid disaster. We've
got that coming up in the story We Love. In
just a second, Hey guys, text us anytime you like
seven three seven three zero one ninety six hundred. That's
(08:57):
seven three, seven three zero one ninety six hundred. We
love hearing from you, and also stick around because we
got a chance for you to win one thousand dollars
coming up at nine o'clock. The stories we Love.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
So the Austin Firefighters Association president, his name is Bob Hicks.
He's a stark warning for Austin leaders and residents. Basically,
he's saying what you're seeing playing out in Los Angeles
is not out of the question to happen here in Austin.
He's pointing out the topography of Austin, specifically North Austin
and Northwest Austin where the fuel loads are high, meaning
(09:32):
all of the brush.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
JB.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You were talking about Westlake Hills.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I lived in Westlake for Yeah, I lived in Westlake
for fifteen years, and I'm worried about it just going
up in flames.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
They're very strict about what you can not cut down,
including a lot of very old tired cedar trees right right.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
So he's pointing out that those are fuel loads, is
what he calls him the often dry conditions that we
have in Austin. And basically he said, the only thing
that La sees right now that Austin doesn't have are
those incredible winds. But if we do get the winds,
we basically have the exact same conditions that La has.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
That's what it's freaky about the LA fire. And when
you think about here is you think about it just
going up the mountain, right and so, and I lived
halfway up a hill, not a mountain, but so you
would think about it and you'd have to have like
know what your escape route is or whatever. But it's
when the what happened in La is it coming down
(10:35):
the mountain and into the valley to the ocean is
what is hard to get your brain around.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
So because of those winds, right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Picture things coming down through Westlake and jumping the river
into Terrytown or Northwest Hills, crossing Mopak and working that
way with high wind. It's that's what they happen to them,
and it's I can't get my brain around.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
That, right, They're overwhelmed.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
It's one of the things that Nick said, he said
the dirty little secret about fire fighting fires like the
ones in LA. He's like, once they get to a
certain size, you can't stop them. They're just off and running.
There's not enough water or resources to stop a fire
like that, like the ones that are going on and
off in LA.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
So a lot of fires oftentimes are started at homeless
encampments too, that are back in a green belt somewhere
and they're trying to prepare food or to stay warm,
and the fire gets away from them, and then you've
got a small fire or that could turn very easily
into a big fire.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
They just put one out a few days ago at
a homeless encampment that they previously put out a fire
as well.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
So yeah, remember one the homeless person set the Pewford
Tower on fire a few years ago during COVID. Do
you remember that all those intents for Thereford Tower, that
little bell tower right on Caesar Chavez near downtown. Oh yeah, yeah,
all that's called the Puford Tower, named after a firefire
killed way back like in the twenties. Oh, an irony.
(12:07):
That is a fire tower. It's what caught on fire.
But that's to your point, Sandy. They was like homeless,
just trying to heat the place up.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Right, right. They're trying to survive by you know, saying
warm or cooking food or whatever. But hopefully they can.
There's a lot of things. I don't know much about
fighting fires, but apparently there's a lot of things you
can do to kind of reduce the risk of fire, right.
I mean, that's the big screaming match in California, right,
cleaning the underbrush.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Yeah, and then there's and there's people that argue to
keep it natural, right, there's like.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
A balance there, Nix is saying that you have to
you have to be able to keep the fire small.
You have to have fast response, you have to have
the right number of people responding, and you have to
reduce those high risk areas by cleaning out that underbrush
and stuff that is fuel for the fire.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
So like, do we even have have all those planes
that you see that can scoop up water and dump them?
Do we even have those?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
They come from all over right?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
If they do, we just have one? Or do they
come in when needed?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah? Bass drop fires. There was a delay in getting
one of those here because the crew had flown so
many hours that they had to rest before you get
that aircraft, that big DC ten here to drop the
retardant and then all the water and all that kind
of stuff. What's going to be interesting to follow, it
(13:32):
may already be happening in southern California, is what people
are going to do what's left of their homes. They
still have the land, but they've got a pile of rubble,
you know, on top of it. And some of those
I think some of them had still had insurance. A
lot of them didn't.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I was reading about a guy, he was one of
the Pacific Coast Highway. Guys on the other side, like
on the ocean side in Malibu where yeah, five miles
of some of the expensive real estate in the country gone,
and his he was about to list the place, I
think for twenty seven million. Insurance gave him, offered him
(14:10):
three I'd tell him to kick rocks, like, yeah, how
much of how much of it is dirt value looking
at the Pacific Ocean and how.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Much is the structure?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Like yeah, right for three million structure, Well, you can
build a pretty nice structure, but I don't know how big.
It didn't have details on what the house was before. Yeah,
and then there are a lot with no insurance.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
So yeah, it's a sad thing. It's it's gonna go on.
You know, the news cycle is going to turn over.
We're gonna stop hearing about the fires. But the truth
is that there are people still there that are that
are living with this, this whole situation.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
And then if you rebuild, let's say you want to
if you want to sell it and cash out, you
really need the value of a home on there, don't you,
Or do.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
You just take whatever he lost all your equity?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, but if you're going to build, and then you're
not going to get insurance coverage. If you were new
coverage on a new structure. After this, you're not going
to get insurance.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
So yeah, it's not an option there to not have
home insurance.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
So, I mean, somehow California has to figure out what's
going on with you.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
You cannot have insurance if you own the home outright,
you can't have any sort of mortgage. So Florida's going
through this a lot because of hurricanes. They're denying you.
If you're in a hurricane alley, you cannot have hurricane insurance.
If you don't have insurance, you can't have a mortgage.
So it's only the ultra wealthy that can buy outright,
(15:37):
that can own.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, that's not problems. We'll problems. We'll never have friends.
This jockey salary, we are not going to have those problems.
Trust her.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
We don't need to worry about that.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, I don't need to worry about these things. Coming
up next, we're gonna find out what JB's walkout song
would be. Imagine he was playing baseball and walking out
of the dugout going to home play, what song would
be playing. We'll also share ours Trisha's and mine. It's
coming up on Austin's eighty station. What three point one?
What would our walkout songs be if we were baseball
(16:11):
players or just in life maybe you know, just walking
into a meeting or walking into a restaurant or a
bar somewhere where people were what song would be playing.
We'll get to that in just a second. JB, You're
gonna go last. Okay, all right, because this ought to
be interesting. This is a.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Stretch for me because I'm going to keep it in
the context of baseball, which was, okay, always a.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Huge challenge for me. I'll explain why. Chance for you
to win a thousand bucks coming up at nine o'clock,
and don't forget to grab the podcast version of the
show on iHeart on the iHeartRadio app. And by the way,
if you haven't opened the iHeartRadio app in a while,
updated because there's some really cool new features, including the
ability to set presets just like you do in your car.
(16:54):
Also scan the dial just like you do in your car.
Pretty much whatever you can do on your car radio,
you can now do on the iHeart Radio app. So
update it if you haven't done that lately. All right, Tricia.
What's it gonna be. You're playing baseball. They're getting ready
to announce you. What song? What song's gonna play? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Play it, Joel.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Wrong, I'll get everyone hyped.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, Yeah, could it be any more of a lie?
Come on, Joel flying too close? Close?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
It's me, it's me.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
You know one of your friends say that to you?
That was your song?
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I think it was Autumn.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
I think it was my friend, sweet baby Autumn, who
you guys know to I think she pointed that out
and I was like, oh my god, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Here's mine, very very appropriate for mine, and in my eyes.
You tell me if I'm wrong, if you want to
fight tonight, I guess those boys don't. I ain't as
good as I once was, but I'm as good a
one as I am.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
That's cry line.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
That is Toby Keith, and that is my walk out song.
That as good as I want, And that's good as
I once was. But I'm good once as I ever was.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
That's a great song.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah all right, mister j b. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I'll explain why I'm keeping it in the context of baseball.
We'll play this and then I'll explain why this would
be my walkout song and it'll totally make sense.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Herb your enthusiasm, that would be my baseball walkout song
because it's it's so dopey, which was basically me as
a young kid.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
And see, I always had challenge. I love sports, but
I was not good at a lot of team sports
because I this is my excuse. So if it sounds
like I'm making excuse, just just give me grace on that.
Because my parents split up and then they eventually they
ended up living in different states when I was very
very young, so I'd spend summers with my dad, and
(19:23):
so ever, I was always chasing sports like because it
always started at the other place.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
While I was gone. Does that make sense yees? Yes?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
So for example, by that, you know, by the time
i'd come back and you know, from schools starting, they've
already been doing two days in football and all that stuff,
and I'd come in and have to catch up. So
in baseball was even worse. By the time I got
to my dad's for summer, those baseball teams are already selected,
(19:52):
they're already filled up, they've already started playing. There's only
one place where I could get on team and play baseball.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
And that was that. The JCC, oh, the Jewish Community Center.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Always room on the squad at the JCC, and I.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Mean not make it. I just tell you that you're
probably the best player on the team. And I was terrible.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I was terrible, and so yeah, and I'm not Jewish,
but we lived in a neighborhood with a lot of
Jewish people and it was no big deal to We'd
get a pass at the JCC and hang out at
you know, use the gym, the pool, mainly the pool
all summer and stuff like that. We could just get
on a city bus go to the pool and all
that stuff. But I was terrible, and everyone on that
(20:47):
team we get beat by I mean triple digit.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
It was insane. We were so bad.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
So yeah, that is a perfect song, that is perfect
to walk out after that.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
But it makes sense now for you, JB two have
gravitated towards individual sports that you do by yourself now
with your ran cross country marathons, the cycling part of
your life.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
You know, well yeah, I mean in high school, I
was still one hundred and forty five pounds, you know,
sixty five pounds.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
It's just something had to give. So I stuffed in
a locker a lot.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
No, No, because I had a good sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I was cool. I was just skinny.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I was just yeah, I was friends with everybody. I
wasn't like wildly popular or anything, but I was friends
with everybody, probably just joking my way out of situations.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Since the humor comes in comes in handy. Right. I
was just so, and it made sense.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I was a good runner, decent enough, not good enough
to run in college.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
But it's like, oh, let's go do that, right, yeah, right.
I think of you every time I see a bunch
of kids, high school aged dudes at the Brushy Creek Trail,
clearly on the cross country team at their high school,
and they're all built exactly the same, and I nudge trition,
I go, that's what JB looked like in high school. Yeah,
they're all.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
They're all shirtless and then running so close together they
look like a flock of birds.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Don't running all really really close. I noticed that.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
I guess that's some sort of I don't know, strategy
or something, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Just being social y while you're trying.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Your your walkout song makes a lot of sense. Yeah,
I love it. It's funny stuff. It's the Jamie and

just look up the roster of the new professional volleyball team.
This is from Kathy Miller. By the way, she says
that y'all were talking about on the radio. A lot
of the University of Texas volleyball stars are on this team,
including Madison Skinner, Logan Eggleston, and Asia O'Neill. Sorry if
the names aren't spelled correctly, but thank you for sharing
(01:29):
about this new team. So that's pretty cool. That's Longhorns.
And I was thinking about how cool is that those
those those girls get to continue playing volleyball after college? Right?
Oh yeah, right, there's no an outlet for them to
play professionally and they're playing up at the Cedar Park
cer and I definitely want to go to that for sure.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, we do need to see more of a rise
in women's pro sports because you know, you had the
option to be an Olympian, maybe pro beach volleyball if
that's your thing. But look at how many guys can
make a good living minor league baseball. Yeah, like minor
league Like yeah, so this is a good step for
women's sports.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, women's I don't know if Austin got one, but
I know there was this kind of a trend in
bars that bars that only showed women's sports, and it
was started in Minneapolis.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I think there is going to be one opening in Austin.
I think I remember seeing a blurb about that a
women's sports Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I think we talked about it once too.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, it's the Caitlin Clark effect the basketball player, right,
I mean, oh yeah, that's pretty cool. I think they'll
do well. Actually, uh, this is interesting, guys, and I
like your opinions. Actually I don't like care for Tricia's
opinion than this because her musical taste and knowledge is
just gross.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I mean, you're gross.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
How else to say it? But so, JB, check this out.
Science determined who was more influential the Beatles of the
Stones forever. That's been a debate, right, who's more influential
the Beatles the Stones, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Well,
they did an investigation and they found out did a
(03:10):
bunch of things to figure out who was more influential
and to give you who do you who do you think? JB?
Before I tell you who was number one?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yeah, that's always a controversial thing, but I I one
hundred percent the Beatles, me too. But an argument against
it was, you know, the Beatles did most of what
they did in like four or five years. I mean,
I'm extracting their teen years of learning the craft. But
and then the stones have been added for ever years.
Like that's hard not to value. But I just think
(03:42):
it's some of the The Beatles were breaking more grounds
on music styling and ways of recording, and they adapted
big time. They went from being the the doo woppie
boy band to like psychedelic rockers, like there's a lot there.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah. They went from I want to hold your hand,
you know, all the way to imagine right, it's a revolution. Right. Well,
this so called science says, yeah, the Beatles number one
when it comes to musical influence. In fact, according to
this the Rolling Stones did even come in second place.
That went to led Zeppelin. Oh wow, number two, number
(04:24):
three on the list than the Rolling Stones, more modern,
more of our generation. Really. You two came in fourth
with that interesting. David Bowie fifth, Bob Dylan sixth, Elton
John seventh, Queen was eight. Never liked Queen still instant.
I just yeah, it's not my thing, man, the rock
(04:47):
opera stuff, no, Jimmy Hendricks nine and listen to list
at number ten the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
M that's weird.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
You forget how well they they mixed alternative styling with
like hip hop bass and trust.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, that's unique.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
When I remember when it hit, like in the eighties,
I was like, oh my god, Chili Pepper and they
would just jam on a song for like an hour
when they'd play live, like you know, when once started
or ended or you can say, tea.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Are you mad Nirvana is not on there, because that's
when you were. I remember the first moment I heard
him changed everything.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, I'm I am a little surprised that they're not
in the in the top ten because Nirvana did kind
of change every well, they didn't change everything, They just
eliminated a bunch of crap, you know what I mean, Like,
think about Jamie. Think about what we were listening to
before Neirvana. There's a bunch of crappy hair bands, yeah
guys and make up, Yeah, Twisted Sister and all that
(05:50):
twisted I'm serious, And then those guys came along and
kind of changed everything. Tristia, I'm curious what's your take
on who was more influential the Rolling Stones with the.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Beatles well as somebody who is not a huge fan
really of either one of them.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I would say the Beatles. I agree with what JB said.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I just think that they just came on the scene
and made everything different, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I think they were a lot more influential.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You just pulled that out of your buck.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
No, I did not.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I thought that if you had asked me before you
gave the answer, I'll also tell you that you said
you two.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Is number four, like you too. I don't like them.
I know people will go arrest at me when I
walk outside.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I like the Beatles either.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Wow, So you would probably like this list if it
was the most influential in country.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Probably right, Probably, So, Like.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I'm gonna pick it some George Straight songs over some
Beatles songs like.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Waylon Willie would be up there? To be up there, Yeah,
made it more hip, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Before that, it was a bunch of I mean, he
was like the Taylor Swift of country in the day
when he burst on the scene. Yeah, I mean, there
was nothing that he could sing that didn't wasn't just
number one. Immediately you'd have Merle Haggard in there, of course.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yes, I put the Dixie Chicks in there. You got
to put a few women like oh.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Loved the Dixie Chicks.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah, Dolly, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, but my wife still worships Dolly like she's putting
out its today.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Like Dolly's not stopping. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Our daughters, who's fifteen. She was cleaning out her drawers
over the weekend and there was just crap all over
the place in a room. But on the top of
one of the many piles in there was a black
T shirt, Dolly Parton T shirt. Where'd she get that?
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I think she got it at a thrift store because
she was super into thrifting for a while.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I think she just saw it, got it. I don't
know why she got rid of it. I was kind
of surprised.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
But yeah, Dolly's everywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Coming up. In just a little bit, we are going
to find out what JB's walkout song would be. We
have several said what ours are? We'll play to ours too,
but Jamy, I need you to think about that.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
You guys have you guys have had this conversation before.
Oh yeah, oh yeah, okay, yeah yeah, okay, And we'll
share all of our walkout songs.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That's the song that if you were in a baseball game,
they would play when you walk out to home plate
to take here at bat. So we've got that coming
up in just a little bit. Also a chance for
you to win one thousand dollars at nine o'clock. And
what do you have in the story we Love coming up? Trisha?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
All right, we're going to talk about the fires in
LA but it's a little bit of a warning about
what could happen here in Austin if we're not careful.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
All right, stay with us. It's coming up on Austin's
eighty station one oh three point one. The Austin Firefighters
Association president had some stern words about what needs to
be done in Austin to avoid to avoid disaster. We've
got that coming up in the story We Love. In
just a second, Hey guys, text us anytime you like
seven three seven three zero one ninety six hundred. That's
(08:57):
seven three, seven three zero one ninety six hundred. We
love hearing from you, and also stick around because we
got a chance for you to win one thousand dollars
coming up at nine o'clock. The stories we Love.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
So the Austin Firefighters Association president, his name is Bob Hicks.
He's a stark warning for Austin leaders and residents. Basically,
he's saying what you're seeing playing out in Los Angeles
is not out of the question to happen here in Austin.
He's pointing out the topography of Austin, specifically North Austin
and Northwest Austin where the fuel loads are high, meaning
(09:32):
all of the brush.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
JB.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You were talking about Westlake Hills.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I lived in Westlake for Yeah, I lived in Westlake
for fifteen years, and I'm worried about it just going
up in flames.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
They're very strict about what you can not cut down,
including a lot of very old tired cedar trees right right.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
So he's pointing out that those are fuel loads, is
what he calls him the often dry conditions that we
have in Austin. And basically he said, the only thing
that La sees right now that Austin doesn't have are
those incredible winds. But if we do get the winds,
we basically have the exact same conditions that La has.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
That's what it's freaky about the LA fire. And when
you think about here is you think about it just
going up the mountain, right and so, and I lived
halfway up a hill, not a mountain, but so you
would think about it and you'd have to have like
know what your escape route is or whatever. But it's
when the what happened in La is it coming down
(10:35):
the mountain and into the valley to the ocean is
what is hard to get your brain around.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
So because of those winds, right, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Picture things coming down through Westlake and jumping the river
into Terrytown or Northwest Hills, crossing Mopak and working that
way with high wind. It's that's what they happen to them,
and it's I can't get my brain around.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
That, right, They're overwhelmed.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
It's one of the things that Nick said, he said
the dirty little secret about fire fighting fires like the
ones in LA. He's like, once they get to a
certain size, you can't stop them. They're just off and running.
There's not enough water or resources to stop a fire
like that, like the ones that are going on and
off in LA.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
So a lot of fires oftentimes are started at homeless
encampments too, that are back in a green belt somewhere
and they're trying to prepare food or to stay warm,
and the fire gets away from them, and then you've
got a small fire or that could turn very easily
into a big fire.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
They just put one out a few days ago at
a homeless encampment that they previously put out a fire
as well.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
So yeah, remember one the homeless person set the Pewford
Tower on fire a few years ago during COVID. Do
you remember that all those intents for Thereford Tower, that
little bell tower right on Caesar Chavez near downtown. Oh yeah, yeah,
all that's called the Puford Tower, named after a firefire
killed way back like in the twenties. Oh, an irony.
(12:07):
That is a fire tower. It's what caught on fire.
But that's to your point, Sandy. They was like homeless,
just trying to heat the place up.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Right, right. They're trying to survive by you know, saying
warm or cooking food or whatever. But hopefully they can.
There's a lot of things. I don't know much about
fighting fires, but apparently there's a lot of things you
can do to kind of reduce the risk of fire, right.
I mean, that's the big screaming match in California, right,
cleaning the underbrush.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Yeah, and then there's and there's people that argue to
keep it natural, right, there's like.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
A balance there, Nix is saying that you have to
you have to be able to keep the fire small.
You have to have fast response, you have to have
the right number of people responding, and you have to
reduce those high risk areas by cleaning out that underbrush
and stuff that is fuel for the fire.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
So like, do we even have have all those planes
that you see that can scoop up water and dump them?
Do we even have those?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
They come from all over right?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
If they do, we just have one? Or do they
come in when needed?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah? Bass drop fires. There was a delay in getting
one of those here because the crew had flown so
many hours that they had to rest before you get
that aircraft, that big DC ten here to drop the
retardant and then all the water and all that kind
of stuff. What's going to be interesting to follow, it
(13:32):
may already be happening in southern California, is what people
are going to do what's left of their homes. They
still have the land, but they've got a pile of rubble,
you know, on top of it. And some of those
I think some of them had still had insurance. A
lot of them didn't.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I was reading about a guy, he was one of
the Pacific Coast Highway. Guys on the other side, like
on the ocean side in Malibu where yeah, five miles
of some of the expensive real estate in the country gone,
and his he was about to list the place, I
think for twenty seven million. Insurance gave him, offered him
(14:10):
three I'd tell him to kick rocks, like, yeah, how
much of how much of it is dirt value looking
at the Pacific Ocean and how.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Much is the structure?
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Like yeah, right for three million structure, Well, you can
build a pretty nice structure, but I don't know how big.
It didn't have details on what the house was before. Yeah,
and then there are a lot with no insurance.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
So yeah, it's a sad thing. It's it's gonna go on.
You know, the news cycle is going to turn over.
We're gonna stop hearing about the fires. But the truth
is that there are people still there that are that
are living with this, this whole situation.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
And then if you rebuild, let's say you want to
if you want to sell it and cash out, you
really need the value of a home on there, don't you,
Or do.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
You just take whatever he lost all your equity?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, but if you're going to build, and then you're
not going to get insurance coverage. If you were new
coverage on a new structure. After this, you're not going
to get insurance.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
So yeah, it's not an option there to not have
home insurance.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
So, I mean, somehow California has to figure out what's
going on with you.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
You cannot have insurance if you own the home outright,
you can't have any sort of mortgage. So Florida's going
through this a lot because of hurricanes. They're denying you.
If you're in a hurricane alley, you cannot have hurricane insurance.
If you don't have insurance, you can't have a mortgage.
So it's only the ultra wealthy that can buy outright,
(15:37):
that can own.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, that's not problems. We'll problems. We'll never have friends.
This jockey salary, we are not going to have those problems.
Trust her.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
We don't need to worry about that.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, I don't need to worry about these things. Coming
up next, we're gonna find out what JB's walkout song
would be. Imagine he was playing baseball and walking out
of the dugout going to home play, what song would
be playing. We'll also share ours Trisha's and mine. It's
coming up on Austin's eighty station. What three point one?
What would our walkout songs be if we were baseball
(16:11):
players or just in life maybe you know, just walking
into a meeting or walking into a restaurant or a
bar somewhere where people were what song would be playing.
We'll get to that in just a second. JB, You're
gonna go last. Okay, all right, because this ought to
be interesting. This is a.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Stretch for me because I'm going to keep it in
the context of baseball, which was, okay, always a.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Huge challenge for me. I'll explain why. Chance for you
to win a thousand bucks coming up at nine o'clock,
and don't forget to grab the podcast version of the
show on iHeart on the iHeartRadio app. And by the way,

What's it gonna be. You're playing baseball. They're getting ready
to announce you. What song? What song's gonna play? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Play it, Joel.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Wrong, I'll get everyone hyped.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, Yeah, could it be any more of a lie?
Come on, Joel flying too close? Close?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
It's me, it's me.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
You know one of your friends say that to you?
That was your song?
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I think it was Autumn.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
I think it was my friend, sweet baby Autumn, who
you guys know to I think she pointed that out
and I was like, oh my god, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Here's mine, very very appropriate for mine, and in my eyes.
You tell me if I'm wrong, if you want to
fight tonight, I guess those boys don't. I ain't as
good as I once was, but I'm as good a
one as I am.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
That's cry line.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
That is Toby Keith, and that is my walk out song.
That as good as I want, And that's good as
I once was. But I'm good once as I ever was.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
That's a great song.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah all right, mister j b. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I'll explain why I'm keeping it in the context of baseball.
We'll play this and then I'll explain why this would
be my walkout song and it'll totally make sense.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Herb your enthusiasm, that would be my baseball walkout song
because it's it's so dopey, which was basically me as
a young kid.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
And see, I always had challenge. I love sports, but
I was not good at a lot of team sports
because I this is my excuse. So if it sounds
like I'm making excuse, just just give me grace on that.
Because my parents split up and then they eventually they
ended up living in different states when I was very
very young, so I'd spend summers with my dad, and
(19:23):
so ever, I was always chasing sports like because it
always started at the other place.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
While I was gone. Does that make sense yees? Yes?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
So for example, by that, you know, by the time
i'd come back and you know, from schools starting, they've
already been doing two days in football and all that stuff,
and I'd come in and have to catch up. So
in baseball was even worse. By the time I got
to my dad's for summer, those baseball teams are already selected,
(19:52):
they're already filled up, they've already started playing. There's only
one place where I could get on team and play baseball.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
And that was that. The JCC, oh, the Jewish Community Center.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Always room on the squad at the JCC, and I.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Mean not make it. I just tell you that you're
probably the best player on the team. And I was terrible.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I was terrible, and so yeah, and I'm not Jewish,
but we lived in a neighborhood with a lot of
Jewish people and it was no big deal to We'd
get a pass at the JCC and hang out at
you know, use the gym, the pool, mainly the pool
all summer and stuff like that. We could just get
on a city bus go to the pool and all
that stuff. But I was terrible, and everyone on that
(20:47):
team we get beat by I mean triple digit.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
It was insane. We were so bad.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
So yeah, that is a perfect song, that is perfect
to walk out after that.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
But it makes sense now for you, JB two have
gravitated towards individual sports that you do by yourself now
with your ran cross country marathons, the cycling part of
your life.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
You know, well yeah, I mean in high school, I
was still one hundred and forty five pounds, you know,
sixty five pounds.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
It's just something had to give. So I stuffed in
a locker a lot.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
No, No, because I had a good sense of humor.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I was cool. I was just skinny.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I was just yeah, I was friends with everybody. I
wasn't like wildly popular or anything, but I was friends
with everybody, probably just joking my way out of situations.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Since the humor comes in comes in handy. Right. I
was just so, and it made sense.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I was a good runner, decent enough, not good enough
to run in college.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
But it's like, oh, let's go do that, right, yeah, right.
I think of you every time I see a bunch
of kids, high school aged dudes at the Brushy Creek Trail,
clearly on the cross country team at their high school,
and they're all built exactly the same, and I nudge trition,
I go, that's what JB looked like in high school. Yeah,
they're all.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
They're all shirtless and then running so close together they
look like a flock of birds.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Don't running all really really close. I noticed that.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
I guess that's some sort of I don't know, strategy
or something, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Just being social y while you're trying.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Your your walkout song makes a lot of sense. Yeah,
I love it. It's funny stuff. It's the Jamie and
