Speaker 3 (00:11):
This is one of my favorite T shirts.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's a good one. It looks good on you. Is
that the one you've got at the Academy?
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yes, it is. It's a real deal. This is not
an Amazon fines.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Right there from Annapolis.

Yes, which hopefully we're going back in December, aren't we.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Yes, we are. We're going to the Army Navy game.

Again, one of the most I've had.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
And another tour of the Academy. Yeah, I'll go on
the tour again. I'll definitely go on the tour again.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We went last year. This will be my third year
in a row of going to the Army Navy game.
It's a lot of fun. If you ever get the chance,
even if you have absolutely no connection to either school,
it should be on your bucket list of college football
games to go to.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Also, just go to Annapolis, Maryland. Oh my god, I
could live there. I could too. It's such a cute
little town. Yeah, oh I love it.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I have a feeling if Landry goes to school there,
we will live.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Oh yeah, Landry's going to be at school that far
away from me.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Oh I'm living there.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Well, at least you know, there's a lot of people
to keep an eye on her.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Uh huh, family to keep an eye on a whole lot.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Birthdays tonight, I mean people on the yard at school.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
One of the things I like about it is when
the freshmen, the plebes, the plebes are there. They are
not allowed to leave the Naval Academy grounds from like
Sunday night Friday night until what is it for the
whole week Sunday night until Friday nights exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
We're pretty much on lockdown.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
And for the mother of an only child daughter to
know that her freshman year in college, she is in lockdown,
oh god. I don't know if there's anything more comforting
than that.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Birthdays today include I Think you love him? Jeff Goldbloom.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Oh I do. I like him. I don't love him.
I like him.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
He's seventy three years old today. One of my favorite
all time TV characters, probably number two on my favorite
character list, Christopher Lloyd is eighty seven. Of course, he
played jim Ygnatowski on taxi and was hysterical?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Is that wrong?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Love ten?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I did?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
And finally Jonathan lip Nikki, Oh, the human head weighs
eight pounds.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
The little dude from Jerry McGuire, you know him from
Stuart Little as well.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
He's thirty five years old. He's all growed up.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
All growed up, looks exactly the same, just bigger, does he?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
What's first thing made you laugh today?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
All right?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Here's my comprehensive list of suspects for the louver heist.
Sandy okay, the Muppets, yeah, the Pink Panther, yes, George
Clooney and his friends. Literally, any cat, actual ninjas, the
snake from Robin Hood or Carmen san Diego.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
It's a list I've thrown together.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Maybe the French will start investigating all of them, all
of them, right. I think they had to start with
the Pink Panther because wasn't his buddy French the Pink
Panthers Bunny?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
That does seem like an obvious inspector, Cluso.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You're right, you might absolve the mystery.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I may have. Boy, the French really look.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Weak, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
They literally just drove a truck with an extendable ladder
right up to the side of the loop and while
it was open, people downstairs are like, we heard some
banging upstairs on class.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
It sounded like when the Germans marched down the street.
Same sound, same sound.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
But they really are offended now, like, can't we defend
anything right? Theft of their culture?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Crazy?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Coming up on the show today, let's see what we
have for you. We're gonna talk about aggressive otters. And
the only reason and I bring this up is because
Crystal loves these types of stories.
Speaker 3 (03:45):

love it.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
And the otters in California are, Yeah, they're not happy.

Halloween is the loneliest day of the year.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
For single people. I don't know how that's possible.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I'm just saying more than half of the singles polled
say it's one of the most emotionally difficult holidays of
the year.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's worse than Valentine's Day.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I do not understand. I need more information from those
people I.
Speaker 2 (04:40):

Speaker 2 (06:00):
What Amy Grant.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
My Amy Grant story is my best friend Sean.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
She Amy Grant lived lived in I guess still lives
in Nashville, and Sean and some of her friends were
driving around and drove up to her house, big long driveway,
a gate. They got up the nerve to get out,
push the button. Amy Grant answered at the other end
of the buzzer and they were like, look, we just
love you. We drove by your house. We just were
(06:26):
going to see if we could get something autographed to
Amy Grant came out all the way down the driveway
and sat there and talked to him, signed stuff and
took photos with him.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Wow, I know, and that reminds me of the Dave
Chappelle driveway story when he had a crazy guy at
the gate. We saw Dave Chappelle live and he told
this story. He said, Yeah, had a crazy guy out
at my front gate. So I got my car. I'm
driving down the I'm driving down to the gate. I'm
at about fifty five miles an hour. Then he goes,
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking of your driveway.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Not a rich guy's driveway. Drive way. You can get
up to fifty five in his driveway.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It's that long.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That is the story. We love More coming up three
to one.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Austin dot Com.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I have a question for you before we get to
the aggressive otters in California.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Okay, do you know what a group of hedgehogs is called?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Oh? I love stuff like this, hedgehogs. A hurdle of hedgehogs.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Oh, that's a good one. No, it's an array, an array.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
You have to do your like jazz hands. An array
of hedgehogs.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, you've got yourself an array of hedgehogs. I don't
know what a collection of otters is, but they are
being very aggressive on the beaches in California.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
They are so visitors to a certain California beach are
warning of the aggressive otters who have a habit of
stealing surfboards. This is not the first time this has happened.
Apparently they took a little bit of a break before
they've resurfaced. One woman said she was surfing in a
sea otter came up bit her foot when she got
off overboard, it climbed atop her surfboard and left. I
(08:03):
don't know if it paddled away. I'll take this, she goes.
It was more of an exploratory nip. Didn't puncture my
skin or anything. But she said the otter stayed on
her board for about twenty minutes before finally she was
able to get other people to help her encourage him
to get off of her board so she could have
it back. Really, yes, I think it's hilarious. Another surfer,
(08:26):
teenage boy was attempting to paddle away when an animal
was approaching him and his leash. The outer reached out
and got ahold of his leash, and eventually the kid
got off and the otter got on and just like
surfed away, sailed away.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I just feel like they're like, this is ours.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I was confused for a moment what an otter looked like.
I was confusing it with a beaver. No, well, no,
I was confusing it with the one of the guys.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
That go walrus.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Are they a walrus?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
No, they look like a beer.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I know what an I matt is that a walrus goes.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Our our a seal? A seal.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Those are guys with the guy that they kind of
wag and yeah, okay, I was getting them confused.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
There's a cute little creature.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
I know they are cute, but not if they bite
you and push you off your surfboard like big bullies.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
The cute California Sea otter.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Yeah, they've had enough. Leave our beach. I feel like
would be their motto if they could chant.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I can't say that I blame them. Yeah, sure, stay
with us. We've got more coming up Austin's eighty station.
What oo three point one? Good morning, It is the
Sandy Show, Sandy and Tricia at nine o'clock this morning.
You could snag a thousand dollars. Stay with us to
win on Austin's eighty station. What O three point one?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
For the brand new listener. Let me explain something real quick.
Just stick with me. We'll get to Caro don't care stuff.
And Tricia's got a funny German word. And you've also
got what was the other one.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Super weird random fact about prince all.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Right, we'll get to that in just a second.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
But we assign numbers to our listeners who participate in
what we call the air gong. At the end of
our Carot Don't Care jingle, there's an obvious gong that
is struck, and we raise up an imaginary mallet and
we hit an imaginary gong every time we do it.
We buy our listeners to do it, and we give
them numbers.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
If you text us with your name right, we will
assign you your official air gonger number.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
You gotta say your name and gong. We can text
it to seven three seven three zero one ninety six hundred.
The original air gonger is Sonia. Sonia is number.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
One, number one.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
She then sent a photograph of her granddaughter Millie. He
was just born, baby Milly, and Tricia said, you know what,
she can be Air Gonger number one and a half.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Millie is one and a half. Now Pam is jumping
in with a photograph. Send us a photograph of her granddaughter,
brenn Oh love that name and wants to know if
Bren can be air Gonger number ten and a half.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Oh, because she's ten? Yes, absolutely, So there you go.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Are you keeping track of our halfs our half babies?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Got our half babies?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
All of them?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
So Bren, Now you don't understand what's going on because
you're very small, but your grandmother will be able to
tell you when you're much older that you are air
Goger number ten and a half.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Welcome to the club.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Care caring, all right, Sandy, do you care or don't care?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
To find out what a steady found that if you
do this it might help you.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Avoid the winter blues. Some people get sad in the winter.
I do not if some people do.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
For the people that do, yes, I want. I don't
particularly care, but I care about them.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
So yes, this one's kind of obvious.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
But I'm telling you this because it supports what I
always say. People who consume a lot of warm drinks
in winter tend to have fewer issues with depression and insomnia.
And I always say, if it's warm, it's better. A
warm drink, a warm sandwich. You eat everything cold.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah, Trisha boy.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
At the moment the temperature drops below a certain point,
it's all hot chocolate and wosles and ciders.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Oh the wastle. I train wait until as close to
Christmas as I can for wastle.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
They used to do at Starbucks. And now I'm not
a big Starbucks person. They used to do an apple
cider that was really good and had whipped cream on it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
M they don't do it anymore.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
You've asked and they said no.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
It did. Wait with eight years ago.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Really, welcome to what it feels like with me and
Taco Bell doing away with the churito. They probably have
that have in the first world country, right, So if
you suffer from the winter blues, just load up on
the warm stuff. Even soup soups you can help too,
Soups soups sandy.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Do you care or don't care? To find out?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
A new German word that I just learned What it
means is amazing and it's kind of fun to say.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, I'll never use this word, but it's going to
be good for a laugh.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Okay, here's the word. The word is pronounced backfife and Geist,
backfife and geish, backfeifengeist, and it means a face in
need of a slap.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I know some backfeife and Geist. I run into the
backfife and Geist.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Every single day, A face in need of a slap.
I think we should just get that printed on shirts.
That's what people I ask you slap them. Yeah, exactly,
and you say that's what it Means's no different than
for I know.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
It's very farthing. Nigga. Yeah, backfeife and Geist.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I'm gonna write that down so we can revisit that
word later in case there's a test. And finally, care
don't care to find out about a crazy, random, weird
fact about Prince, the singer for Munus A kid, Yeah,
I all care.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I mean you don't really know much about him as
a child, right.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
It's possible that Prince was one of the first kids
to play the game Oregon Trail because it was created
for an eighth grade teacher in Minneapolis in the fall
of nineteen seventy one, and at that time, Prince was
an eighth grade student at that school.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Oh god, there stop. It's a that's a bit of
a stretch.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
It's a bit of a stretch, but man, at least
it's a little bit more information about Prince.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
It's such a mystery.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
He would have written something about the Oregon Trail and
Purple Rain if.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
He has, and it would have been entitled this Interior.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
More coming up.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
One O three point one, Boston,

the tour again. I'll definitely go on the tour again.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We went last year. This will be my third year
in a row of going to the Army Navy game.
It's a lot of fun. If you ever get the chance,
even if you have absolutely no connection to either school,
it should be on your bucket list of college football
games to go to.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Also, just go to Annapolis, Maryland. Oh my god, I
could live there. I could too. It's such a cute
little town. Yeah, oh I love it.

away from me.

Oh I'm living there.

whole week Sunday night until Friday nights exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:35):

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Oh I do. I like him. I don't love him.
I like him.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
He's seventy three years old today. One of my favorite
all time TV characters, probably number two on my favorite
character list, Christopher Lloyd is eighty seven. Of course, he
played jim Ygnatowski on taxi and was hysterical?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Is that wrong?
Speaker 3 (02:11):

What Amy Grant.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
My Amy Grant story is my best friend Sean.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
She Amy Grant lived lived in I guess still lives
in Nashville, and Sean and some of her friends were
driving around and drove up to her house, big long driveway,
a gate. They got up the nerve to get out,
push the button. Amy Grant answered at the other end
of the buzzer and they were like, look, we just
love you. We drove by your house. We just were
(06:26):
going to see if we could get something autographed to
Amy Grant came out all the way down the driveway
and sat there and talked to him, signed stuff and
took photos with him.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Wow, I know, and that reminds me of the Dave
Chappelle driveway story when he had a crazy guy at
the gate. We saw Dave Chappelle live and he told
this story. He said, Yeah, had a crazy guy out
at my front gate. So I got my car. I'm
driving down the I'm driving down to the gate. I'm
at about fifty five miles an hour. Then he goes,
I know what you're thinking. You're thinking of your driveway.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Not a rich guy's driveway. Drive way. You can get
up to fifty five in his driveway.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
It's that long.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That is the story. We love More coming up three
to one.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Austin dot Com.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I have a question for you before we get to
the aggressive otters in California.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Okay, do you know what a group of hedgehogs is called?
Speaker 4 (07:19):
Oh? I love stuff like this, hedgehogs. A hurdle of hedgehogs.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Oh, that's a good one. No, it's an array, an array.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
You have to do your like jazz hands. An array
of hedgehogs.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, you've got yourself an array of hedgehogs. I don't
know what a collection of otters is, but they are
being very aggressive on the beaches in California.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
They are so visitors to a certain California beach are
warning of the aggressive otters who have a habit of
stealing surfboards. This is not the first time this has happened.
Apparently they took a little bit of a break before
they've resurfaced. One woman said she was surfing in a
sea otter came up bit her foot when she got
off overboard, it climbed atop her surfboard and left. I
(08:03):
don't know if it paddled away. I'll take this, she goes.
It was more of an exploratory nip. Didn't puncture my
skin or anything. But she said the otter stayed on
her board for about twenty minutes before finally she was
able to get other people to help her encourage him
to get off of her board so she could have
it back. Really, yes, I think it's hilarious. Another surfer,
(08:26):
teenage boy was attempting to paddle away when an animal
was approaching him and his leash. The outer reached out
and got ahold of his leash, and eventually the kid
got off and the otter got on and just like
surfed away, sailed away.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I just feel like they're like, this is ours.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I was confused for a moment what an otter looked like.
I was confusing it with a beaver. No, well, no,
I was confusing it with the one of the guys.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
That go walrus.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Are they a walrus?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
No, they look like a beer.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I know what an I matt is that a walrus goes.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Our our a seal? A seal.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Those are guys with the guy that they kind of
wag and yeah, okay, I was getting them confused.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
There's a cute little creature.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
I know they are cute, but not if they bite
you and push you off your surfboard like big bullies.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
The cute California Sea otter.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Yeah, they've had enough. Leave our beach. I feel like
would be their motto if they could chant.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I can't say that I blame them. Yeah, sure, stay
with us. We've got more coming up Austin's eighty station.
What oo three point one? Good morning, It is the
Sandy Show, Sandy and Tricia at nine o'clock this morning.
You could snag a thousand dollars. Stay with us to
win on Austin's eighty station. What O three point one?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:41):
For the brand new listener. Let me explain something real quick.
Just stick with me. We'll get to Caro don't care stuff.
And Tricia's got a funny German word. And you've also
got what was the other one.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Super weird random fact about prince all.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Right, we'll get to that in just a second.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
But we assign numbers to our listeners who participate in
what we call the air gong. At the end of
our Carot Don't Care jingle, there's an obvious gong that
is struck, and we raise up an imaginary mallet and
we hit an imaginary gong every time we do it.
We buy our listeners to do it, and we give
them numbers.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
If you text us with your name right, we will
assign you your official air gonger number.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
You gotta say your name and gong. We can text
it to seven three seven three zero one ninety six hundred.
The original air gonger is Sonia. Sonia is number.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
One, number one.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
She then sent a photograph of her granddaughter Millie. He
was just born, baby Milly, and Tricia said, you know what,
she can be Air Gonger number one and a half.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Millie is one and a half. Now Pam is jumping
in with a photograph. Send us a photograph of her granddaughter,
brenn Oh love that name and wants to know if
Bren can be air Gonger number ten and a half.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Oh, because she's ten? Yes, absolutely, So there you go.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Are you keeping track of our halfs our half babies?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Got our half babies?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (10:58):
All of them?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
So Bren, Now you don't understand what's going on because
you're very small, but your grandmother will be able to
tell you when you're much older that you are air
Goger number ten and a half.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Welcome to the club.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Care caring, all right, Sandy, do you care or don't care?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
To find out what a steady found that if you
do this it might help you.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Avoid the winter blues. Some people get sad in the winter.
I do not if some people do.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
For the people that do, yes, I want. I don't
particularly care, but I care about them.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
So yes, this one's kind of obvious.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
But I'm telling you this because it supports what I
always say. People who consume a lot of warm drinks
in winter tend to have fewer issues with depression and insomnia.
And I always say, if it's warm, it's better. A
warm drink, a warm sandwich. You eat everything cold.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah, Trisha boy.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
At the moment the temperature drops below a certain point,
it's all hot chocolate and wosles and ciders.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Oh the wastle. I train wait until as close to
Christmas as I can for wastle.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
They used to do at Starbucks. And now I'm not
a big Starbucks person. They used to do an apple
cider that was really good and had whipped cream on it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
M they don't do it anymore.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
You've asked and they said no.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
It did. Wait with eight years ago.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Really, welcome to what it feels like with me and
Taco Bell doing away with the churito. They probably have
that have in the first world country, right, So if
you suffer from the winter blues, just load up on
the warm stuff. Even soup soups you can help too,
Soups soups sandy.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Do you care or don't care? To find out?
Speaker 4 (12:47):
A new German word that I just learned What it
means is amazing and it's kind of fun to say.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeah, I'll never use this word, but it's going to
be good for a laugh.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Okay, here's the word. The word is pronounced backfife and Geist,
backfife and geish, backfeifengeist, and it means a face in
need of a slap.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I know some backfeife and Geist. I run into the
backfife and Geist.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Every single day, A face in need of a slap.
I think we should just get that printed on shirts.
That's what people I ask you slap them. Yeah, exactly,
and you say that's what it Means's no different than
for I know.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
It's very farthing. Nigga. Yeah, backfeife and Geist.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
I'm gonna write that down so we can revisit that
word later in case there's a test. And finally, care
don't care to find out about a crazy, random, weird
fact about Prince, the singer for Munus A kid, Yeah,
I all care.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I mean you don't really know much about him as
a child, right.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
It's possible that Prince was one of the first kids
to play the game Oregon Trail because it was created
for an eighth grade teacher in Minneapolis in the fall
of nineteen seventy one, and at that time, Prince was
an eighth grade student at that school.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Oh god, there stop. It's a that's a bit of
a stretch.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
It's a bit of a stretch, but man, at least
it's a little bit more information about Prince.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
It's such a mystery.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
He would have written something about the Oregon Trail and
Purple Rain if.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
He has, and it would have been entitled this Interior.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
More coming up.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
