Speaker 1 (00:01):
Not to be introspected, to be interest. The word prospect,
the introspect, thee. But sometimes you need to take a
little bit of pleasure in the simple pleasures in life
instead of the big things that happen all the time.
Well sometimes, but just like simple pleasures in life. And
I want you guys to share what yours are. But
first I want to tell everybody what mine was. And
now Tricia keyword relentlessly made fun of me because I
(00:25):
ordered and I get excited every year.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
It was new sock Day the other day. Yeah, is
it in your calendar?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yes, always in mid August where I threw up all
of my old athletic socks, not dress socks, you.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Know, just white socks.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
And throw them all away and I get new ones.
And my new ones came and I was so excited
and I couldn't wait to open them and try them
on and see what they were all about. Because there's
a new brand, a new brand. I got like six
pair for fourteen dollars.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Here's the back part of this is beautifully packaged. It's
like you were a socket influencer. The other day he
announced a couple of days ahead of time, so almost
me socked day, so we knew about the build up.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
We heard the doorbell ring.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
He literally sprinted to the door because he knew that
it was his socks that were delivered, and I was screaming, they're.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Here, yep.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
So then he goes back and he sits on his bed,
He opens him up, he puts a pair on, and
then for three or five six seconds, just looked at
his feet, looked at the socks on his feet, and
moved his feet around. Then Ye proceeded to tell me
why these were amazing socks because the material is thicker
on the heel and on the toe and not quite
(01:38):
as thick on the again, sock Influencer, it was like
you were selling those socks. And then later on he
still had them on and he was like, look, I
still have my socks on. It was just weird.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
It's kind of like when you talk about hanky panky panties.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Oh yeah, I do love a hanky panky pans on
and on about these you ever heard of these?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
M m, yeah, hanky panky pant Those things are like
eighty five dollars a page, like the.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Ones like you don't even feel you don't even feel them.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
On.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
They're lace. They're great. You know you can get that feeling.
Take them off, it's too okay.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
So that was my simple pleasure that I get it like,
I don't do that often enough.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
The calendar reminder is good. It is because guys will
hang on the socks.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Wait, and before we move on, I got an idea
for you.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
We could do an Instagram page where you're an influencer
that only tries to pimp the most mundane things ever.
Build an Amazon store. Yes, here's white socks. The next day,
it's like it's like a spoon and it links to
a set of Solverware.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Hair brush. Can you imagine when you're pimp.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
White Oh my god, that would be just dumb enough
to take off.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
It's just silly. It's my idea. So you got us
it with me, but I'll help curate and shoot it.
All right. We got to get first a list of it.
I just think you're funnier to do it. Giant guy.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Jamie's simple pleasure coming up in a moment, and we
do know this much about it. It happens in the
still of the night hours. Hell yeah, Steven Presley, step
up that microone. Tell us what a simple pleasure of
yours is.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
So recently another Amazon purchase, me and my wife have
found that we're waking each other up. I know you
all have been through this and ultimately you decided to
go separate rooms.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah. So we have a thing where, you know, I've
conquered my snoring.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
I wear a special mouthguard now, okay, and I do
the tape, so I think it helps it.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I may snore a little. What's the tape? You take
your mouth closed?
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I take my mouth close. I do so I do
all of this. I do the mouth closed with the tape.
I do a nasal strip. Now I wear a mouthguard.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Do you ever get late? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:58):
And then I had the eyemass too, So you imagine
how how romantic that is.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
It's like sleeping next to Hannibal. It pretty much is.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, your son has no idea how lucky he is
to be on this earth.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Oh yeah. I do even get to the point where
we had a changing that he's here. Wow. So what's
the simple thing? So the thing we did.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
The simple thing is we finally figured out it was
the blankets that was causing one or the other to
wake the other person up.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So we've got our own blankets now.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
In the same bed, but your own individual blankets.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Well, last fall we moved to a bed that's two
technically two mattresses next to each other.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Instead of one big mattress, we have two that are
so all the wires can come in and out for
your stuff.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Yeah, well, sometimes they get lost in the crevice between
the mattresses, so you have to go back in and
get that.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You're put on life support when you got to sleep
at night. Yeah, it's it's it's an ordeal.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
And my wife has her own process too because she
wears the bath guard too, so we're both both it's
just trying to get a good night kiss that is
not laughable where we're not like.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Hysterically looking at each other just as it's a fist bump. Now,
so is the simple pleasure that night's sleep or the blanket.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
The blankets we found these blank blanket soft We got
these new blankets. We were trying to find that you
know and and Tricia, you know about temperature and how
important that is at night. We were having trouble finding
blankets also for both of us that would not.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Were not too hot, not too cold.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
But we finally found the perfect thickness of blanket for
Texas August. Yeah, and we each have one now his
her version, different different colors, different colors. Yeah, yeah, we
picked out our own colors.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
If you can get your kid to take a picture
of you and your wife laying in bad yeah, I'd
love to see that. I thought I was bad with
my mouth guard mouth guards, and then when my hands
have eggs andmized, I fill them up with lotions, lotions exclaims.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Why I need so many constantly?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Jamie's coming up happens in the dark, in the still
of the night. That's a moment away, just a simple
pleasure of yours.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
All right, This one, I feel like makes me feel
sound really old, But I'm at that age.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I've got some prescriptions that I have to take every day.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
My greatest pleasure is when all of my prescriptions are
all filled on the same day, at the same time.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh, all the little boxes, all the.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Little and I don't have to go twice a week,
you know, to get this one, get them all filled.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Trip to the ninety day supply on the same day.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It's like I've conquered all the bad things in the world.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
When that happens, anything else bad come along.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
I feel like I can get a text from my
wife it's something's at the pharmacy all the time, every
three days.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yes, yeah, yeah, So you can get on these programs
where they will give you like partial refills. It's a
little painful getting there, but a partial refill until you
get them all on the same schedule.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Can you request that from your pharmacist? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Can we get these all on the same Yeah, you
totally can't. That's how I'm doing it. But I'm just saying,
like you feel like the king of the world when
that happens. Really freak your farm lives out. Say I
walk here from bass Drop.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Three months, so if we could get them all the same.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
At the risk of sounding very old, just switched pharmacists.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
The AGB very happy.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Very happy with our stufs, very very happy with our switch.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
At any point in your twenties, would you have cared
one bit about your pharmacist or where you went to
pick it up? And now standing out multiple times, we're like, man,
I'm so glad we switched pharmacies. Like its up often
ach B.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Well, all right, creepy middle of the night, simple pleasure.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yeah, one of my simple pleasures is sometimes and like
I've said before, if I wake up and I'm like,
I don't like rarely am I just groggy. It's either
I awake or sound asleep. If I wake up the
middle of night, I can't just lay there and try
to go back. Cannot do it, So I gotta go
do something. There are not many things you can do
at two am, and I could do some more work.
(08:11):
I can scroll on Instagram like what. So quite often
in the middle of the night, I will go wash
one of our cars. It might be two am, and
sometimes I just go through the little drive through one
and and sometimes I'll actually just get out the sprayer
and do it in the driveway or the court the
(08:34):
at the car wash. Okay, there's one that I can
just drive through. I just like to go do that
in the middle of the night.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
And the middle of the night, kidding, you're either asleep
or you are wide awake.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Oh yeah, I just I'm picturing I'm picturing Robert de
Niro and what was the movie with Jody Foster Taxi
drive did all the weird things in the middle of
the night.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I don't remember that it's been baking around.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
If there's something cool about being on the road to
at like three am and there's nothing downtown.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It's just dead, like no one lives here.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I like that is prime time to see some weird stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Yeah, there are weird people out It's just I don't know,
it's just gratifying.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Do you guys ever see someone like I saw it
the other day, someone walking down the street and you
just look at me like something really went wrong with you. Yeah,
it's just like made some bad decisions. Maybe he was
out washing his car at three as. I don't know
right what happens though. If Aaron wakes up, she doesn't,
(09:37):
But if she.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Did, she doesn't go to the bathroo middle the mid of night.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
She's classic middle aged sedated. Yeah, thank god, get like
she'd be like, oh, he's watching the car.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
She knows that.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
But no, I've been that way forever. Yeah, just I
mean forever. I was leaving at four point thirty in
the morning, way, but she wouldn't see me in the morning,
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I just like sometimes I'll go.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
There is one twenty four hour coffee shop near me,
Bino Bino Coffee. Really, boy, there's some strange people out there.
Where's that is it called bino, I think, so that
would make sense. It's at Riverside in Congress. Oh, so
you're in a safe neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
There, son, I know that is that there? That intersection
is shady.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
That car wash right there, Yeah, I see the shadiest
things at that car wash.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So I'm glad you have a simple pleasure though, Yeah,
everybody needs them.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
And the pleasure like it's weird. It's it's like you're
doing something cool alone in the middle of the night.
But I also am obsessed with clean cars, like driving here,
you know, like this morning, like there's a pile of
bird poo on my hood.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I'll take care of that on the way home.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
It made you crazy driving and cereal right nuts.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
So Aaron could go up to go to go to
work in the morning. Here car could have been a
wreck when she got home the night before, But when
she goes to work, it's like the tooth fairy came
and cleaned the car.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Her car's always clean.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
And I you know, she may have pumped gas a
handful of times in the last decade when I was
out of town.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Trisha's the same way with cars.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
She had How long did you have that Nali like
seven years and it looked the.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Day we traded it in. It looked exactly like the
day she got it.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Oh God, I love a car. I love a clean car.
I remember when I was pregnant. They were like, well,
say goodbye to your clean car, and I was like,
uh no, I was like, that baby will not trash
my car.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
We will kick we get out that one o three
point one Austin.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
The Other day, Jbuh and I went to the Texas
Stars game and we were just chip chatting. We actually
went to Jack Allens and see her part before the
game and JV was like, dude, can you believe our
fortieth high school reunion's coming up next year? On my
first JV said thirty. I said thirty, and I believed it. Yeah,
(12:06):
I think it's forty right, which made it's hard to believe.
And I have never I've not gone to a single
high school reunion. H oh really now, I never have.
I don't stay in touch with any of them. The
one guy that I did stay in touch with some
(12:27):
again went and died, and so that was my only
connection to high school. High school. Then I had my
friend Jody. Yeah, but I don't really talked to her
about you anymore. So yeah, I've just I've just never
gone and done it. But Tricia, boy, she loves attending
that Austin High reunion.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I will tell you this, I've gone to every one
of my high school reunions. The reason is because I
still go with my girls that we hung out with
in high school. The five of us that were always
together in high school. All five of us have gone
to every single reunion together. That's what makes it for you.
Guys are all still pretty to Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Just talked to literally every one of them today.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
And so let me let me let me ask you this.
So you've got these five friends from high school, you've
all remained close friends, you all stay in touch, and
when you go to the reunion, do you just talk
to those four or five people.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
No, we do not. We stay close to each other.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
But really the consensus is, oh my god, the five
of you are still so close, Like it's just very
strong and still so nerdy.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah we're we weren't the cool ones though.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I'll tell you that they even recognize you without your trumpet.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Without my big hat on with the plumes sticking out
the top.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Of it and recognize you without that.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
They recognized me. Don't worry, they recognized you. I was
not the super cool kid click, but I wasn't like
the nerd outcast, the guys, the people who went and
smoked in the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Click. I was kind of in the middle and friends
with that everybody.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah, I think at the I think at the reunions
or maybe at a homecoming football game, they should get
alumni at least past the twenty year mark that were
in the band to go back out there and perform.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
They do that at ut Yeah, they did it at Ute.
I was at the basketball game. Were they any good? So?
Speaker 4 (14:17):
The high school ones, like most of them probably quit. Yeah, yeah,
I wanted to be bad.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I haven't played my trumpet except just to screw around with.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It since I graduated. In fact, I.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Protested as a senior at our graduation. Our band director
at the time tried to make the senior sit with
the band to play as the band, and I was like,
I'm not doing that. I'm going to go sit in
the audience. Like, so, I haven't even played since graduation.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
That's that's good that you did. That was crappy at
the bad I was super crappy.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I was the only one who did it, and the
other my girls were like, why did we not do
that with you?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I was like, I don't know, but that was nonsense.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Well, there was an interesting poll that asked about fifty
different high school experiences to see how common they are,
and I thought it'd be fun to just kind of
kick them around a little bit and if you had
a funny story about it or whatever, just to throw
it in there. So here's the ten most common high
school experiences. Number ten had a boyfriend or a girlfriend.
(15:16):
Sixty four percent of the people polled said yes, they
did have a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Jab I know
you had a girlfriend in high school, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
In high school? I had, I had two? Yeah, yeah,
I had. Well, I switched schools.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I went from Georgetown to Westwood and then and you know,
I didn't switch just because I moved, because the Georgetown
chick actually broke up with me and I was just
so happy to move.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
The timing was great.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Yeah, yeah, so and then I and then I dated a
girl in my senior year and when I had moved
into Austin.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Yeah I had. I don't even know if they lasted
long enough to be called girlfriends. There were a few
dates with.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
A lot of with a lot of girls, and never
really had like a girlfriend and girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah you know what I mean. They wised up to
me pretty quick. They figured you out, figured me out.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
And Tricia, did you have a like You didn't really
have a boyfriend boyfriend?
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Right?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
But you were in love with my god, Jeff Lights,
Jeff Lights.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I was a freshman and he was a senior, and
I thought I would die if he did not love
me back. He was the first time that I wept
over boy so crazy high school hormones. He did not
love me during high school, but I did.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I had a boyfriend my senior year.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
He did not go to the same high school that
I did, but proportion of my senior year I had
a boyfriend and I dated him for a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
What high school he go to? He went to? Oh
my god, why can't I think?
Speaker 6 (16:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Not Westwood? Well I just know her old boyfriend lives
in that area. Yeah, no, he didn't. Where were you
were at Austin High?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Was at Austin High. I can't remember what high school
he went to. I knew him from work out at
EGV my very first job.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I got ADGV.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
God.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I loved that job.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Some other common experiences, I mean, when on a date
was nine, we kind of covered that if you had
a boyfriend or girlfriend. Yeah, but took the SAT or ACT?
Sixty six percent of people did. I took the ACT.
I never took the SAT. I was in the Midwest.
I was in Nebraska, and it was an ACT thing
(17:24):
they administered the SAT.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I think I only took the SAT. Do you remember
what you got on it? I don't remember. It was
not great, like nine hundred something. Yeah, so I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
This is pretty fun last week I have been I've
been out of high school for how long, almost forty years.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I took the SAT.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
My whole goal was to get above triple digits, when
it at least be in the four digits. I thought
the highest score you could get on an SAT was
fourteen hundred. I have been proudly telling people that I
got a ten ten on the SAT.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Meanwhile, the highest scores of sixteen hundred. We were talking
to what we were talking to?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
What I look like an idiot going around proudly saying
I get a tintin.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
We were talking to one of Landry's classmates and one
of her friends, and she had gotten her sat, like,
what did you get on the SAT? And she got
four and she said I got a fourteen thirty And
Trisha's like, wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
But I'm retaking it and it's like what why?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
How does it go? And she goes, oh, perfect is
sixteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Oh god, I can't even imagine how many people I've
told I got a ten.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Tin Radiac I took to act and I think I
think thirty six was perfect, like the perfect score. The
first time I took it, I got an eight eight
and my only goal. My only goal was to get
a twelve because that's what she had to get to
(18:53):
be eligible to play college athletics.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Twelve.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yeah, were you filling in the answers with the bingo
dobby or something that was?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I mean it was. I was a mess in high school.
I mean I really was just a hot mess.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Moving moving along.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Another very common high school experience that sixty eight percent
of people say they experience. Kind of a low number,
I would guess, but kissed someone.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, I did a lot of that. A lot of kissing, Yeah,
a lot of kissing.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I did enough of that. Yeah, that's pretty good at it.
Here's another one. It's kind of low. If this been
in Texas had been a higher number. Went to at
least one high school football game sixty eight percent. God,
we'd go to them all right. Yeah, maybe not my
senior year.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
I was always working, but yeah, that was that was
an especially in Georgetown. Yeah, like that's what you did
on Friday night.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
One of Landry's friends from Lampasas and she's like, that's
what you do.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
What you do on Friday night.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I was at every single solitary football game because I
was in the band and we marched at every single game.
I never experienced it as a student in the stands right,
always on the field with the band.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
We won one game each of the four years I
was there. Not great. That sucks. Austin hy not known
for football at that time. That's still not well, what
is it known for? Give us time? It was tennis
and golf. It was the rich kids' school. Oh because
of Muni or yeah Muni, Yeah, Terrytown right there. All
(20:34):
those kids played. Austin Hein and Westlake were arch rivals. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Now all the rich kids go to the private schools right, yep,
and Austin tig got just a bunch of dopes.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I don't really have no idea. Actually, I think that
it was kind of going that way for a while.
I think it's shifted back to where a lot of
the Terrytown families are sending their kids to Austin hind.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Yeah, that's good us.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Seventy nine percent of the people pulled said they took
a class they hated. Hated all of mine only. I
hated all of my classes. I couldn't narrow it down
to one. I hated them all. Oh, as evidence with
my act score with you.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I didn't enjoy anything in school.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
No, no, I mean unless there were a couple where
the teacher was really hot.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, you didn't have Franciscan nuns teaching you. Yeah it sucked. Man,
Take a class you loved. No, I just told you.
I hated all of my class.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Track, yeah, football, track and cross country.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I like that class.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah, football and wrestling was fun. Yeah right, here's another one.
This is kind of unusual for me. I had a
specific friend group or click man. I was kind of
a floater as a loner. Really, I mean I just
kind of went from one click to the other. Yeah,
you're kind of friends with everyone. Yeah, that's kind of
what I was.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, yeah, what about you, JB. Yeah, it was it
was very similar.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Like you know, I like I after my freshman year,
I stopped playing football because I was so skinny and
focused on track and cross country. But I played with
all those guys through junior high in ninth grade, so
we were friends.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
And then a lot of those guys run track.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
There's there's a lot of there's a big crossover between
football and track with the sprinters and hurdlers and all
that stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
But no, and then and then I had car buddies too. Yeah,
we had that other outlet.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Yeah, we were car geeks so in that but it
was mostly you know, my my track and cross country peeps.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Did you park your car with all that what we
used to call them the motor heads in the back
row that would back their cars and trucks into the
thing and then hang out before school.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
No, But in George Town, the thing was the way
the parking lot was. There was like a big dirt
riser on the back end, and all the all the
country kids with their lifted trucks they got they so
they were really cool trucks. They were all, you know,
(23:18):
like dad's hand me downs from the seventies, Yeah, in
the early eighties. And they would just sort of take
them like they'd all be lined up on top of
the hill.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
That's cool. And then when it rains, they'd all spin
around throw mud on anywhere.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
The final, one, final thing here on this most common
high school experiences, eighty seven percent of the people pulled
when they asked if they had a crush on someone
in high school said yes, eighty seven.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Yeah, I think, yeah, I'm not surprised that number is high.
What's that I said?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Refer back to my story about Jeff Lights, Yeah, right
right exactly. Yeah, where's he today?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I can actually tell you you because I spoke with him,
kept in contact with them over the years. He is
in the Army. He is a high school band director
at a high school in New bron Fules And he
has always been and what is it, the Guard, National Guard,
So he comes into Camp Maybury a lot. He's the
band director for one of the National Guard units too.
(24:20):
So yeah, he ended up being a band director. He
was in band when I was in band.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So band guy. The epitome of a marine.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
See a picture of him the army or marine, I mean,
sorry army buzz cut.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
The fatigue, big guy. Yeah yeah, that's cool. Tbe. Who
is your high school crush? Do you have one? I
just bounced around. I just want you. Liked them all.
I liked him
Not to be introspected, to be interest. The word prospect,
the introspect, thee. But sometimes you need to take a
little bit of pleasure in the simple pleasures in life
instead of the big things that happen all the time.
Well sometimes, but just like simple pleasures in life. And
I want you guys to share what yours are. But
first I want to tell everybody what mine was. And
now Tricia keyword relentlessly made fun of me because I
(00:25):
ordered and I get excited every year.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
It was new sock Day the other day. Yeah, is
it in your calendar?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yes, always in mid August where I threw up all
of my old athletic socks, not dress socks, you.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Know, just white socks.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
And throw them all away and I get new ones.
And my new ones came and I was so excited
and I couldn't wait to open them and try them
on and see what they were all about. Because there's
a new brand, a new brand. I got like six
pair for fourteen dollars.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Here's the back part of this is beautifully packaged. It's
like you were a socket influencer. The other day he
announced a couple of days ahead of time, so almost
me socked day, so we knew about the build up.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
We heard the doorbell ring.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
He literally sprinted to the door because he knew that
it was his socks that were delivered, and I was screaming, they're.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Here, yep.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
So then he goes back and he sits on his bed,
He opens him up, he puts a pair on, and
then for three or five six seconds, just looked at
his feet, looked at the socks on his feet, and
moved his feet around. Then Ye proceeded to tell me
why these were amazing socks because the material is thicker
on the heel and on the toe and not quite
(01:38):
as thick on the again, sock Influencer, it was like
you were selling those socks. And then later on he
still had them on and he was like, look, I
still have my socks on. It was just weird.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
It's kind of like when you talk about hanky panky panties.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Oh yeah, I do love a hanky panky pans on
and on about these you ever heard of these?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
M m, yeah, hanky panky pant Those things are like
eighty five dollars a page, like the.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Ones like you don't even feel you don't even feel them.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
On.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
They're lace. They're great. You know you can get that feeling.
Take them off, it's too okay.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
So that was my simple pleasure that I get it like,
I don't do that often enough.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
The calendar reminder is good. It is because guys will
hang on the socks.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Wait, and before we move on, I got an idea
for you.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
We could do an Instagram page where you're an influencer
that only tries to pimp the most mundane things ever.
Build an Amazon store. Yes, here's white socks. The next day,
it's like it's like a spoon and it links to
a set of Solverware.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Hair brush. Can you imagine when you're pimp.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
White Oh my god, that would be just dumb enough
to take off.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
It's just silly. It's my idea. So you got us
it with me, but I'll help curate and shoot it.
All right. We got to get first a list of it.
I just think you're funnier to do it. Giant guy.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Jamie's simple pleasure coming up in a moment, and we
do know this much about it. It happens in the
still of the night hours. Hell yeah, Steven Presley, step
up that microone. Tell us what a simple pleasure of
yours is.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
So recently another Amazon purchase, me and my wife have
found that we're waking each other up. I know you
all have been through this and ultimately you decided to
go separate rooms.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Yeah. So we have a thing where, you know, I've
conquered my snoring.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
I wear a special mouthguard now, okay, and I do
the tape, so I think it helps it.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I may snore a little. What's the tape? You take
your mouth closed?
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I take my mouth close. I do so I do
all of this. I do the mouth closed with the tape.
I do a nasal strip. Now I wear a mouthguard.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Do you ever get late? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:58):
And then I had the eyemass too, So you imagine
how how romantic that is.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
It's like sleeping next to Hannibal. It pretty much is.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, your son has no idea how lucky he is
to be on this earth.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Oh yeah. I do even get to the point where
we had a changing that he's here. Wow. So what's
the simple thing? So the thing we did.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
The simple thing is we finally figured out it was
the blankets that was causing one or the other to
wake the other person up.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So we've got our own blankets now.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
In the same bed, but your own individual blankets.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Well, last fall we moved to a bed that's two
technically two mattresses next to each other.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Instead of one big mattress, we have two that are
so all the wires can come in and out for
your stuff.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Yeah, well, sometimes they get lost in the crevice between
the mattresses, so you have to go back in and
get that.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You're put on life support when you got to sleep
at night. Yeah, it's it's it's an ordeal.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
And my wife has her own process too because she
wears the bath guard too, so we're both both it's
just trying to get a good night kiss that is
not laughable where we're not like.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Hysterically looking at each other just as it's a fist bump. Now,
so is the simple pleasure that night's sleep or the blanket.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
The blankets we found these blank blanket soft We got
these new blankets. We were trying to find that you
know and and Tricia, you know about temperature and how
important that is at night. We were having trouble finding
blankets also for both of us that would not.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Were not too hot, not too cold.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
But we finally found the perfect thickness of blanket for
Texas August. Yeah, and we each have one now his
her version, different different colors, different colors. Yeah, yeah, we
picked out our own colors.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
If you can get your kid to take a picture
of you and your wife laying in bad yeah, I'd
love to see that. I thought I was bad with
my mouth guard mouth guards, and then when my hands
have eggs andmized, I fill them up with lotions, lotions exclaims.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Why I need so many constantly?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Jamie's coming up happens in the dark, in the still
of the night. That's a moment away, just a simple
pleasure of yours.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
All right, This one, I feel like makes me feel
sound really old, But I'm at that age.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I've got some prescriptions that I have to take every day.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
My greatest pleasure is when all of my prescriptions are
all filled on the same day, at the same time.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh, all the little boxes, all the.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Little and I don't have to go twice a week,
you know, to get this one, get them all filled.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Trip to the ninety day supply on the same day.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It's like I've conquered all the bad things in the world.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
When that happens, anything else bad come along.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
I feel like I can get a text from my
wife it's something's at the pharmacy all the time, every
three days.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yes, yeah, yeah, So you can get on these programs
where they will give you like partial refills. It's a
little painful getting there, but a partial refill until you
get them all on the same schedule.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Can you request that from your pharmacist? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Can we get these all on the same Yeah, you
totally can't. That's how I'm doing it. But I'm just saying,
like you feel like the king of the world when
that happens. Really freak your farm lives out. Say I
walk here from bass Drop.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Three months, so if we could get them all the same.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
At the risk of sounding very old, just switched pharmacists.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
The AGB very happy.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Very happy with our stufs, very very happy with our switch.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
At any point in your twenties, would you have cared
one bit about your pharmacist or where you went to
pick it up? And now standing out multiple times, we're like, man,
I'm so glad we switched pharmacies. Like its up often
ach B.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Well, all right, creepy middle of the night, simple pleasure.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yeah, one of my simple pleasures is sometimes and like
I've said before, if I wake up and I'm like,
I don't like rarely am I just groggy. It's either
I awake or sound asleep. If I wake up the
middle of night, I can't just lay there and try
to go back. Cannot do it, So I gotta go
do something. There are not many things you can do
at two am, and I could do some more work.
(08:11):
I can scroll on Instagram like what. So quite often
in the middle of the night, I will go wash
one of our cars. It might be two am, and
sometimes I just go through the little drive through one
and and sometimes I'll actually just get out the sprayer
and do it in the driveway or the court the
(08:34):
at the car wash. Okay, there's one that I can
just drive through. I just like to go do that
in the middle of the night.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
And the middle of the night, kidding, you're either asleep
or you are wide awake.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Oh yeah, I just I'm picturing I'm picturing Robert de
Niro and what was the movie with Jody Foster Taxi
drive did all the weird things in the middle of
the night.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I don't remember that it's been baking around.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
If there's something cool about being on the road to
at like three am and there's nothing downtown.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It's just dead, like no one lives here.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I like that is prime time to see some weird stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Yeah, there are weird people out It's just I don't know,
it's just gratifying.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Do you guys ever see someone like I saw it
the other day, someone walking down the street and you
just look at me like something really went wrong with you. Yeah,
it's just like made some bad decisions. Maybe he was
out washing his car at three as. I don't know
right what happens though. If Aaron wakes up, she doesn't,
(09:37):
But if she.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Did, she doesn't go to the bathroo middle the mid of night.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
She's classic middle aged sedated. Yeah, thank god, get like
she'd be like, oh, he's watching the car.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
She knows that.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
But no, I've been that way forever. Yeah, just I
mean forever. I was leaving at four point thirty in
the morning, way, but she wouldn't see me in the morning,
So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I just like sometimes I'll go.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
There is one twenty four hour coffee shop near me,
Bino Bino Coffee. Really, boy, there's some strange people out there.
Where's that is it called bino, I think, so that
would make sense. It's at Riverside in Congress. Oh, so
you're in a safe neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
There, son, I know that is that there? That intersection
is shady.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
That car wash right there, Yeah, I see the shadiest
things at that car wash.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So I'm glad you have a simple pleasure though, Yeah,
everybody needs them.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
And the pleasure like it's weird. It's it's like you're
doing something cool alone in the middle of the night.
But I also am obsessed with clean cars, like driving here,
you know, like this morning, like there's a pile of
bird poo on my hood.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I'll take care of that on the way home.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
It made you crazy driving and cereal right nuts.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
So Aaron could go up to go to go to
work in the morning. Here car could have been a
wreck when she got home the night before, But when
she goes to work, it's like the tooth fairy came
and cleaned the car.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Her car's always clean.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
And I you know, she may have pumped gas a
handful of times in the last decade when I was
out of town.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Trisha's the same way with cars.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
She had How long did you have that Nali like
seven years and it looked the.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Day we traded it in. It looked exactly like the
day she got it.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Oh God, I love a car. I love a clean car.
I remember when I was pregnant. They were like, well,
say goodbye to your clean car, and I was like,
uh no, I was like, that baby will not trash
my car.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
We will kick we get out that one o three
point one Austin.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
The Other day, Jbuh and I went to the Texas
Stars game and we were just chip chatting. We actually
went to Jack Allens and see her part before the
game and JV was like, dude, can you believe our
fortieth high school reunion's coming up next year? On my
first JV said thirty. I said thirty, and I believed it. Yeah,
(12:06):
I think it's forty right, which made it's hard to believe.
And I have never I've not gone to a single
high school reunion. H oh really now, I never have.
I don't stay in touch with any of them. The
one guy that I did stay in touch with some
(12:27):
again went and died, and so that was my only
connection to high school. High school. Then I had my
friend Jody. Yeah, but I don't really talked to her
about you anymore. So yeah, I've just I've just never
gone and done it. But Tricia, boy, she loves attending
that Austin High reunion.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
I will tell you this, I've gone to every one
of my high school reunions. The reason is because I
still go with my girls that we hung out with
in high school. The five of us that were always
together in high school. All five of us have gone
to every single reunion together. That's what makes it for you.
Guys are all still pretty to Oh yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Just talked to literally every one of them today.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
And so let me let me let me ask you this.
So you've got these five friends from high school, you've
all remained close friends, you all stay in touch, and
when you go to the reunion, do you just talk
to those four or five people.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
No, we do not. We stay close to each other.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
But really the consensus is, oh my god, the five
of you are still so close, Like it's just very
strong and still so nerdy.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah we're we weren't the cool ones though.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I'll tell you that they even recognize you without your trumpet.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Without my big hat on with the plumes sticking out
the top.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Of it and recognize you without that.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
They recognized me. Don't worry, they recognized you. I was
not the super cool kid click, but I wasn't like
the nerd outcast, the guys, the people who went and
smoked in the parking lot.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Click. I was kind of in the middle and friends
with that everybody.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah, I think at the I think at the reunions
or maybe at a homecoming football game, they should get
alumni at least past the twenty year mark that were
in the band to go back out there and perform.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
They do that at ut Yeah, they did it at Ute.
I was at the basketball game. Were they any good? So?
Speaker 4 (14:17):
The high school ones, like most of them probably quit. Yeah, yeah,
I wanted to be bad.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I haven't played my trumpet except just to screw around with.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
It since I graduated. In fact, I.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Protested as a senior at our graduation. Our band director
at the time tried to make the senior sit with
the band to play as the band, and I was like,
I'm not doing that. I'm going to go sit in
the audience. Like, so, I haven't even played since graduation.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
That's that's good that you did. That was crappy at
the bad I was super crappy.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I was the only one who did it, and the
other my girls were like, why did we not do
that with you?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I was like, I don't know, but that was nonsense.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Well, there was an interesting poll that asked about fifty
different high school experiences to see how common they are,
and I thought it'd be fun to just kind of
kick them around a little bit and if you had
a funny story about it or whatever, just to throw
it in there. So here's the ten most common high
school experiences. Number ten had a boyfriend or a girlfriend.
(15:16):
Sixty four percent of the people polled said yes, they
did have a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Jab I know
you had a girlfriend in high school, didn't you?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
In high school? I had, I had two? Yeah, yeah,
I had. Well, I switched schools.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
I went from Georgetown to Westwood and then and you know,
I didn't switch just because I moved, because the Georgetown
chick actually broke up with me and I was just
so happy to move.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
The timing was great.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Yeah, yeah, so and then I and then I dated a
girl in my senior year and when I had moved
into Austin.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Yeah I had. I don't even know if they lasted
long enough to be called girlfriends. There were a few
dates with.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
A lot of with a lot of girls, and never
really had like a girlfriend and girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah you know what I mean. They wised up to
me pretty quick. They figured you out, figured me out.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
And Tricia, did you have a like You didn't really
have a boyfriend boyfriend?
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Right?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
But you were in love with my god, Jeff Lights,
Jeff Lights.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I was a freshman and he was a senior, and
I thought I would die if he did not love
me back. He was the first time that I wept
over boy so crazy high school hormones. He did not
love me during high school, but I did.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I had a boyfriend my senior year.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
He did not go to the same high school that
I did, but proportion of my senior year I had
a boyfriend and I dated him for a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
What high school he go to? He went to? Oh
my god, why can't I think?
Speaker 6 (16:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Not Westwood? Well I just know her old boyfriend lives
in that area. Yeah, no, he didn't. Where were you
were at Austin High?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Was at Austin High. I can't remember what high school
he went to. I knew him from work out at
EGV my very first job.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I got ADGV.
Speaker 6 (17:02):
God.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
I loved that job.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Some other common experiences, I mean, when on a date
was nine, we kind of covered that if you had
a boyfriend or girlfriend. Yeah, but took the SAT or ACT?
Sixty six percent of people did. I took the ACT.
I never took the SAT. I was in the Midwest.
I was in Nebraska, and it was an ACT thing
(17:24):
they administered the SAT.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I think I only took the SAT. Do you remember
what you got on it? I don't remember. It was
not great, like nine hundred something. Yeah, so I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
This is pretty fun last week I have been I've
been out of high school for how long, almost forty years.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I took the SAT.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
My whole goal was to get above triple digits, when
it at least be in the four digits. I thought
the highest score you could get on an SAT was
fourteen hundred. I have been proudly telling people that I
got a ten ten on the SAT.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Meanwhile, the highest scores of sixteen hundred. We were talking
to what we were talking to?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
What I look like an idiot going around proudly saying
I get a tintin.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
We were talking to one of Landry's classmates and one
of her friends, and she had gotten her sat, like,
what did you get on the SAT? And she got
four and she said I got a fourteen thirty And
Trisha's like, wait a minute.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
But I'm retaking it and it's like what why?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
How does it go? And she goes, oh, perfect is
sixteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Oh god, I can't even imagine how many people I've
told I got a ten.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Tin Radiac I took to act and I think I
think thirty six was perfect, like the perfect score. The
first time I took it, I got an eight eight
and my only goal. My only goal was to get
a twelve because that's what she had to get to
(18:53):
be eligible to play college athletics.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Twelve.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yeah, were you filling in the answers with the bingo
dobby or something that was?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I mean it was. I was a mess in high school.
I mean I really was just a hot mess.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Moving moving along.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Another very common high school experience that sixty eight percent
of people say they experience. Kind of a low number,
I would guess, but kissed someone.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Yeah, I did a lot of that. A lot of kissing, Yeah,
a lot of kissing.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I did enough of that. Yeah, that's pretty good at it.
Here's another one. It's kind of low. If this been
in Texas had been a higher number. Went to at
least one high school football game sixty eight percent. God,
we'd go to them all right. Yeah, maybe not my
senior year.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
I was always working, but yeah, that was that was
an especially in Georgetown. Yeah, like that's what you did
on Friday night.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
One of Landry's friends from Lampasas and she's like, that's
what you do.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
What you do on Friday night.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I was at every single solitary football game because I
was in the band and we marched at every single game.
I never experienced it as a student in the stands right,
always on the field with the band.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
We won one game each of the four years I
was there. Not great. That sucks. Austin hy not known
for football at that time. That's still not well, what
is it known for? Give us time? It was tennis
and golf. It was the rich kids' school. Oh because
of Muni or yeah Muni, Yeah, Terrytown right there. All
(20:34):
those kids played. Austin Hein and Westlake were arch rivals. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Now all the rich kids go to the private schools right, yep,
and Austin tig got just a bunch of dopes.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I don't really have no idea. Actually, I think that
it was kind of going that way for a while.
I think it's shifted back to where a lot of
the Terrytown families are sending their kids to Austin hind.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Yeah, that's good us.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Seventy nine percent of the people pulled said they took
a class they hated. Hated all of mine only. I
hated all of my classes. I couldn't narrow it down
to one. I hated them all. Oh, as evidence with
my act score with you.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I didn't enjoy anything in school.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
No, no, I mean unless there were a couple where
the teacher was really hot.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, you didn't have Franciscan nuns teaching you. Yeah it sucked. Man,
Take a class you loved. No, I just told you.
I hated all of my class.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Track, yeah, football, track and cross country.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I like that class.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah, football and wrestling was fun. Yeah right, here's another one.
This is kind of unusual for me. I had a
specific friend group or click man. I was kind of
a floater as a loner. Really, I mean I just
kind of went from one click to the other. Yeah,
you're kind of friends with everyone. Yeah, that's kind of
what I was.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, yeah, what about you, JB. Yeah, it was it
was very similar.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Like you know, I like I after my freshman year,
I stopped playing football because I was so skinny and
focused on track and cross country. But I played with
all those guys through junior high in ninth grade, so
we were friends.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
And then a lot of those guys run track.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
There's there's a lot of there's a big crossover between
football and track with the sprinters and hurdlers and all
that stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
But no, and then and then I had car buddies too. Yeah,
we had that other outlet.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Yeah, we were car geeks so in that but it
was mostly you know, my my track and cross country peeps.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Did you park your car with all that what we
used to call them the motor heads in the back
row that would back their cars and trucks into the
thing and then hang out before school.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
No, But in George Town, the thing was the way
the parking lot was. There was like a big dirt
riser on the back end, and all the all the
country kids with their lifted trucks they got they so
they were really cool trucks. They were all, you know,
(23:18):
like dad's hand me downs from the seventies, Yeah, in
the early eighties. And they would just sort of take
them like they'd all be lined up on top of
the hill.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
That's cool. And then when it rains, they'd all spin
around throw mud on anywhere.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
The final, one, final thing here on this most common
high school experiences, eighty seven percent of the people pulled
when they asked if they had a crush on someone
in high school said yes, eighty seven.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Yeah, I think, yeah, I'm not surprised that number is high.
What's that I said?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Refer back to my story about Jeff Lights, Yeah, right
right exactly. Yeah, where's he today?
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I can actually tell you you because I spoke with him,
kept in contact with them over the years. He is
in the Army. He is a high school band director
at a high school in New bron Fules And he
has always been and what is it, the Guard, National Guard,
So he comes into Camp Maybury a lot. He's the
band director for one of the National Guard units too.
(24:20):
So yeah, he ended up being a band director. He
was in band when I was in band.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So band guy. The epitome of a marine.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
See a picture of him the army or marine, I mean,
sorry army buzz cut.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
The fatigue, big guy. Yeah yeah, that's cool. Tbe. Who
is your high school crush? Do you have one? I
just bounced around. I just want you. Liked them all.
I liked him
