many many years ago. What made me remember it was
this this video that I saw. A woman went out
(00:23):
and she was walking her baby in the neighborhood and
someone saw her and thought she was a homeless person
called the police. So here's the clip of the woman
talking about what she was doing and what happened, and
then you're gonna hear the police officer that showed up.
And then I'll tell you a similar story of something
(00:45):
that happened to me.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Okay, someone called the cops on me, thinking that I
was a homeless person with a baby, so to caught
me to CEMD, So she followed me home when I
was walking.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
The baby was giving trouble about this. For the rest
of as it was just hilarious. I mean, I use
going for a walk or something. Yeah, I mean I
do it like every like. I mean, this lady lives.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
I think a street over she saw you, she got worded,
so she followed you and then saw you up to me.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yes, right, so someone thought she was homeless and cold police.
So something very kind of similar happened to me. I mean,
this is twenty years ago, and I lived in Northwest
Hills right off the three sixty between basically between three
sixty and Far West Boulevard stick that area. And I
was single and I was living alone, and I had
(01:39):
a little Basset hound dog and her name was Penelope.
And so one Saturday morning, it was like in November December,
so it was a little chilly out, and I had
Penelope out in the front yard of my of my house,
and I had on just like comfy pants, maybe slippers
(01:59):
or tennis shoe, was in a big oversized coat and
a ball cap on, and you know, I have Saturday morning.
I was just in my my comfortable clothes outside in
my front of my house with my dog, and this
car pulls up to me. It's like that, I'm like, oh,
what's going on, rolls the window down. I'll never in
my life forget it. This older woman, she had gray hair,
(02:24):
and she was driving a Cadillac and she rolled down
the window and she goes, she looks right at me,
and she goes, why don't you walk your.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Dog in your own neighborhood?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I live right here is my house, right here, I'm
in my front yard.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
This is my neighborhood. And she just drove off.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
I couldn't lasty lady.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, I'll never forget that mean old lady, like, why
don't you walk your dog in your own neighborhood?
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I didn't belong in my own neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
You were probably you, well, you were probably one of
the younger homeless.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I follow that in that neighborhood.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yeah, that was a person that Yeah, that neighborhood's completely
flipped now, but it was like an older, established neighborhood.
Speaker 6 (03:18):
Yeah, that's like the nasty old mema who yelled at
me and the Walgreens drive through.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Oh that's a funny story. Do you know this story? Now?
Go ahead.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
I was sitting at Walgreens getting a prescription. Walgreens always
takes so long. And I was sitting there and waiting
and waiting for the pharmacists to do whatever they were doing,
and I hear a knock on my passenger door at
the window and I look and it's this little old
mema and I roll it down and she was so
(03:46):
snarly with me. She goes, are you embarrassed about how
long you're taking to get your medicines with all these
cars behind you? And I was like, I go And
so one thing in me snapped and I go, do
you have you never been to a Walgreens drive before?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
And I said, do you think I'm in control of this?
Speaker 6 (04:11):
And about the time the pharmacist came to the window,
that lady's still standing on my passenger side. And the
pharmacist goes, what's going on? And I lean back and
I go, this lady thinks you're taking too long to
do your job. And the lady goes, oh, clutched her pearls,
went and got back in her car.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
And I was like, oh my.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
God, what's amazing about Tricia's She immediately snap into oh,
so this is how you want to Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
When she was nasty, I was like, oh, this is
what we're doing.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
And there's my brain that was like it's on.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Yeah, Like with the old woman with you, Sandy, like
she's gone before you even realize what Trician knows immediately
like oh hey, and.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Is it horrible that a little part of me was like, oh,
I feel good doing that?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Like it.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Sometimes it feels good just to be nasty back to somebody.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Oh yeah, some people deserve it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, first, that's awesome.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
You can have a reality show just just going around
town in interacting with people and just getting set off.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
That's the show. I would love that.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
People sometimes think that you're not going to fight back, you.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
They think that you'll back down if you're nasty. Those
are the people who were bullies growing up.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Right, and you got to stand up to a bully.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Oh bully right back?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah a response.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I won't be the initiator.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I remember telling Landry when she was little about being
a bully. I said, if I ever hear of you
being a bully, I'll show you what a bully is. Oh,
I will show you what a bully is. So it's
the JAB and Sandy Hour. We're gonna do this again tomorrow.
Make sure you follow us on Instagram. It is at
JB Sandy at X and also on Facebook search the
(05:50):
JB and Sandy Morning Show. More coming up on Austin's
eighty station what three point one and streaming a iHeartRadio app.
All right, forgive us if we a little bit like
proud parents, Tricia and I, But we are kind of
proud parents today because, for those of you that don't know,
we have a fifteen year old daughter and she is
(06:10):
super active in her junior ROTC program at our high school, which,
by the way, is an awesome program taught by great people,
and it's really student run.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I mean the students.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
You get as much out of it as you want, right,
and our daughter wants it all out of it. I mean,
she's like all all the things right and so, but
part of that class is that you have to pass
a personal fitness test, and that involves running a mile,
a certain number of pushups and a plank for a
(06:43):
certain amount of time. And our daughter is not a runner,
not built for it. No, you know, I'm not built
for it. Tricia can run, she can plan and push
up all long. Running not her strong suit. And so
she had a goal that was a really goal, to
run the mile in in order to pass this test
(07:05):
for her class, and also is a prerequisite to a
camp academy that she's going to this summer.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Yeah, for ROTC, she's going to a leadership academy, which,
unfortunately for her, when you're fifteen years old, there is
a certain timeframe that you have to run the mile
in less than that time, and then when you're sixteen,
that time reduces by ten seconds, which ten seconds in
running can be a long time. And when she goes
(07:33):
to leadership academy, it'll be like two days after she
turned sixteen, so she's already having to shave ten seconds
off her run time.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
So she knew this was coming. When did we start
the running t.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Respectible, I would say six or seven weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Right, and we started running every single day like trying
to just get that time down to what it needed
to be to pass the test. And I'm going to
tell you, not without its its fights, it's arguments, it's agreements,
it's uncomfortableness, not without a few tears, not without some complaining.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
And the built in angst of a parent trying to
teach and train a child that automatically puts it on
a stressful level.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, coaching your kid is hard, it's there's something there.
But we're happy because she put in the work to
do it and she passed it. She passed it with
time to spare, And she thought that she could not
do it at the beginning of the training six weeks ago.
I don't think she honestly, in her heart or in
her brain, believed that she could do it.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And we kept telling her she could, and we put
in some time at the track running and timing it
and doing different interval training and all that kind of stuff.
And she put in the work and she passed it.
And I think I've never seen anybody so my friend
said this the other day, if you could bottle up
the feeling you have after you exercise and put it
(09:02):
into a pill, you would be a billionaire. Oh yeah,
And I've never seen anyone so feel so good after
exercising and working out than her. Like when she runs
and she's done, she feels great. And when she runs
at a good pace and meat reaches her goals, she's
so proud of herself, which is which is really cool.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
Yeah, she, I mean for a couple of hours, like
when she in practice when she did meet the goal,
not not when she passed the test, but just in
practice she met it three or four times. Yeah, and
she for a couple of hours after would just keep
bringing it up. I can't believe I did it right.
I'm so excited I did it. Just the biggest smile
(09:42):
on her face. So we're proud of her.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
That's so, that's so awesome, because yeah, some people are
just naturally built for things like the mile run. Like
if you ever said to her, like how hilarious it
would be Landry. If you're at track practice and they
took all the myle runners, the one mile runners to
come over here and.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Throw told you that I did, true, she.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Would fall over last.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Yeah, yeah, she would, you know, at those skinny little
bean poles trying to throw the shot.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It's funny you bring that us just because I said
that too.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I go lavery in this deal, in this running, this
endeavor of running, you have to work harder than other people.
And the other people. You know that some of the
kids that are runners in your company in r OTC
can't do to push up if they had to go
throw the shot put, they would have to work harder
than you at the shotput.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
It's just the way it is.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
I told her one time, I said, you're worried about
the running portion of this PFT. There's some kid who's
worried about the push up portion, And that's what they're
training for, right, But the whole point is is you
have to train for it in order to meet the goal,
like putting in the work. So I always try and
be very mindful of praising her effort, not just outcome, right,
(11:01):
because then she'll think, well, she's not proud of me
if I didn't achieve it.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
We're proud of for how hard she worked. I mean,
she worked hard, she did. And then the other day,
what day do we have the really heavy rain? I
can't remember, Monday, and it was so we couldn't run outside,
so we went to the Cedar Park Rec Center And
on the way there I find out she's like, oh, yeah,
I got to do my PFT, my personal Fitness Test.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I got to do the push ups and the plank too.
I'm like what, and she goes, yeah, I go, how
many how many push ups do you have to do?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Twenty?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I only have to do twenty push ups And I
go and that's a lot, right, And I go, well,
how long do you have to hold the plank for?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
It's like forty five seconds. Yeah, it's not a lot
a lot, and she goes I'm not worried about that.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
And I go, well, I wish I had known about
this before the day before you two days before.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It goes a lot, don't worry push ups. Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That's a lot of push ups that's impressed, right, And
she goes, don't we all show you when we get
to the gym. So we get to the gym and
she ran her mile, actually did two miles that day,
and then on the treadmill and then I go, okay,
let's see these push ups. She knocked out twenty five
of them. Yeah, nothing like nothing. I was like, huh, okay,
you're real good at push ups. Let's scratch that off.
(12:11):
The last worried about those and then did the plank.
Really struggled a little bit. But still it's again, it's
it's just one of those things that you know, you
got to she that's not her strength. She worked really
hard and I'm super proud of her. And now now
I fight. I'm fighting this with her and I'm not
going to do it. But she reached the goal. But
(12:32):
now so much of me wants to go, all right,
what's the next goal. I want to enjoy this for
a while. Right before we go, okay, how can we
get it to ten forty five?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (12:45):
We lower it twenty seconds, thirty seconds, forty seconds. I
don't know, Like well, but what is your like? Is
your is your goal going to be? Whatever it is
she has to pass for her leadership academy.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I know I want her to do the best she can.
I don't want her to shoot for the minimum. That's
my concern. Do not be satisfied with the minimum.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
That's why in running they refer to it as the
pr It's your personal reck right, that's all that matters. Right,
This is for you personally, Like you're competing against yourself,
not nobody else. But again, I don't want her to
go okay, I can do it in the time that's required.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
That's all that's required of me. I'm right done.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
I think you're going to have a hard time keeping
her running between now and her leadership Academy PFT, which
is at the beginning of June. Like, I feel like
there's a little part of it this, like, oh, I
shoud probably get a little vacation now, that's where the
fight's going to be right now, right, And.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
She's got me running a little bit too, JB, which is.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Very I would run if she would allow me to
be around. I'm not allowed anywhere near the running. She
has a huge problem with me being around. Can I
just tell you how bad it makes me?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
JB?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Can I just tell you this, JB. These two like
at the track, I thought I was gonna have to
step getting between us. I thought, okay, we're gonna find
out we are. We are gonna find out who can
whoop poo right now?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Because my money was on Landry.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Oh no, no no, And she is freak.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
And they cannot stand each other. It's like they hate
each other.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
It's trust me, it's her.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
You don't like her either.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
I don't like her sass.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
The other day before we got there, we're just walking,
just warming up, and out of nowhere, Landry goes and
I don't want to hear anything from this one either,
pointing at me, and I was like, And in that
moment it was like the Granny and the Walgreens.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I was like, oh, okay, now you want that's how
we're going to do this.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
And it was on right.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
So you know what's interesting about you and running? And
I'm sure you can relate to this.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I heard this. Maybe it was on Rogan or something.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
I don't know where I was hearing this guy talking
about running, and especially a lot of adult men. It
depending on what sport you did growing up, and then
you played football and you were wrestling, all right, So
it's true with these sports. It's also true with basketball
and baseball. Running is associated for those sports as punishment.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Yeah, so I grew up running cross country in track.
That was the reward, right, still run. But people who
played a lot of other sports, and they specifically talk
about it. When you get in trouble that coach gets
mad at the team.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
What do they do?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
They make you run when you're out of line.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
You get a lippy go run, run back and forth
on the basketball court, run the perimeter of the baseball field.
It was always There are so many people who associate
running as with punishment because that's what.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
It was, right, And I need to remember that as
we continue this with her, Go Doss.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
You guys are a bunch of lollygaggers.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Today. Give me twenty gassers, right.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
That was the gassers for us were the width of
the football field, down back, down, back down, two and
a half on the so it was that two hundred
and fifty yards, I guess. But gassers are different everywhere.
I don't know what they were in cross country probably
a mile out mile back, I don't know, but eight
(16:14):
miles for your life, for practice.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
See you tomorrow, start running.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
We had stuff like growing up in Georgetown. The coach
would just drive us to Wallburg and say, right back
to school. Oh my god, I'm not kidding. I see
those kids. I see him, and I always think of you, JB.
I see him on the Brushy Creek trail. Its tall, skinny,
lean kids out running in a pack of them.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Yeah, they're always really close together.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Yeah yeah, skinny little kids, no shirt.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
And I said the Trisha wants last what JB looked like, yep,
Alter your high school man.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
They can run. It's amazing. Have you ever heard of
David Goggins? You ever heard of him? Now? He's a uh,
he's a fitness ultra marathon or dude.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
He's a former Navy seal that couldn't get into the
Navy his first time because he was like three hundred
pounds or something.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
They wouldn't let him in, so he lost all the weight.
But he runs.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
He was doing an interview once they and they said
you run for hours, and he goes, no, I run
for days. He ran, He's run for thirty nine straight hours.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Oh my gosh, how does the body even do that?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
It breaks down? I'm sure could you imagine thirty nine hours?
And he's one of those motivational guys you know that
is just crazy fit and that's his light. That's how
he makes his living being fit not bad. Wrapped this
up with congratulations to Landrew. Were alf proud of her
and all the other cadets that passed their PFTs yesterday
at their high school. That's very very cool. Make sure

Sometimes it feels good just to be nasty back to somebody.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Oh yeah, some people deserve it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, first, that's awesome.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
You can have a reality show just just going around
town in interacting with people and just getting set off.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
That's the show. I would love that.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
People sometimes think that you're not going to fight back, you.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
They think that you'll back down if you're nasty. Those
are the people who were bullies growing up.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Right, and you got to stand up to a bully.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Oh bully right back?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah a response.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I won't be the initiator.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I remember telling Landry when she was little about being
a bully. I said, if I ever hear of you
being a bully, I'll show you what a bully is. Oh,
I will show you what a bully is. So it's
the JAB and Sandy Hour. We're gonna do this again tomorrow.
Make sure you follow us on Instagram. It is at
JB Sandy at X and also on Facebook search the
(05:50):
JB and Sandy Morning Show. More coming up on Austin's
eighty station what three point one and streaming a iHeartRadio app.
All right, forgive us if we a little bit like
proud parents, Tricia and I, But we are kind of
proud parents today because, for those of you that don't know,
we have a fifteen year old daughter and she is
(06:10):
super active in her junior ROTC program at our high school, which,
by the way, is an awesome program taught by great people,
and it's really student run.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I mean the students.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
You get as much out of it as you want, right,
and our daughter wants it all out of it. I mean,
she's like all all the things right and so, but
part of that class is that you have to pass
a personal fitness test, and that involves running a mile,
a certain number of pushups and a plank for a
(06:43):
certain amount of time. And our daughter is not a runner,
not built for it. No, you know, I'm not built
for it. Tricia can run, she can plan and push
up all long. Running not her strong suit. And so
she had a goal that was a really goal, to
run the mile in in order to pass this test
(07:05):
for her class, and also is a prerequisite to a
camp academy that she's going to this summer.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Yeah, for ROTC, she's going to a leadership academy, which,
unfortunately for her, when you're fifteen years old, there is
a certain timeframe that you have to run the mile
in less than that time, and then when you're sixteen,
that time reduces by ten seconds, which ten seconds in
running can be a long time. And when she goes
(07:33):
to leadership academy, it'll be like two days after she
turned sixteen, so she's already having to shave ten seconds
off her run time.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
So she knew this was coming. When did we start
the running t.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Respectible, I would say six or seven weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Right, and we started running every single day like trying
to just get that time down to what it needed
to be to pass the test. And I'm going to
tell you, not without its its fights, it's arguments, it's agreements,
it's uncomfortableness, not without a few tears, not without some complaining.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
And the built in angst of a parent trying to
teach and train a child that automatically puts it on
a stressful level.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, coaching your kid is hard, it's there's something there.
But we're happy because she put in the work to
do it and she passed it. She passed it with
time to spare, And she thought that she could not
do it at the beginning of the training six weeks ago.
I don't think she honestly, in her heart or in
her brain, believed that she could do it.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And we kept telling her she could, and we put
in some time at the track running and timing it
and doing different interval training and all that kind of stuff.
And she put in the work and she passed it.
And I think I've never seen anybody so my friend
said this the other day, if you could bottle up
the feeling you have after you exercise and put it
(09:02):
into a pill, you would be a billionaire. Oh yeah,
And I've never seen anyone so feel so good after
exercising and working out than her. Like when she runs
and she's done, she feels great. And when she runs
at a good pace and meat reaches her goals, she's
so proud of herself, which is which is really cool.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
Yeah, she, I mean for a couple of hours, like
when she in practice when she did meet the goal,
not not when she passed the test, but just in
practice she met it three or four times. Yeah, and
she for a couple of hours after would just keep
bringing it up. I can't believe I did it right.
I'm so excited I did it. Just the biggest smile
(09:42):
on her face. So we're proud of her.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
That's so, that's so awesome, because yeah, some people are
just naturally built for things like the mile run. Like
if you ever said to her, like how hilarious it
would be Landry. If you're at track practice and they
took all the myle runners, the one mile runners to
come over here and.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Throw told you that I did, true, she.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Would fall over last.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
Yeah, yeah, she would, you know, at those skinny little
bean poles trying to throw the shot.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It's funny you bring that us just because I said
that too.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I go lavery in this deal, in this running, this
endeavor of running, you have to work harder than other people.
And the other people. You know that some of the
kids that are runners in your company in r OTC
can't do to push up if they had to go
throw the shot put, they would have to work harder
than you at the shotput.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
It's just the way it is.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
I told her one time, I said, you're worried about
the running portion of this PFT. There's some kid who's
worried about the push up portion, And that's what they're
training for, right, But the whole point is is you
have to train for it in order to meet the goal,
like putting in the work. So I always try and
be very mindful of praising her effort, not just outcome, right,
(11:01):
because then she'll think, well, she's not proud of me
if I didn't achieve it.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
We're proud of for how hard she worked. I mean,
she worked hard, she did. And then the other day,
what day do we have the really heavy rain? I
can't remember, Monday, and it was so we couldn't run outside,
so we went to the Cedar Park Rec Center And
on the way there I find out she's like, oh, yeah,
I got to do my PFT, my personal Fitness Test.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I got to do the push ups and the plank too.
I'm like what, and she goes, yeah, I go, how
many how many push ups do you have to do?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Twenty?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I only have to do twenty push ups And I
go and that's a lot, right, And I go, well,
how long do you have to hold the plank for?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
It's like forty five seconds. Yeah, it's not a lot
a lot, and she goes I'm not worried about that.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
And I go, well, I wish I had known about
this before the day before you two days before.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It goes a lot, don't worry push ups. Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That's a lot of push ups that's impressed, right, And
she goes, don't we all show you when we get
to the gym. So we get to the gym and
she ran her mile, actually did two miles that day,
and then on the treadmill and then I go, okay,
let's see these push ups. She knocked out twenty five
of them. Yeah, nothing like nothing. I was like, huh, okay,
you're real good at push ups. Let's scratch that off.
(12:11):
The last worried about those and then did the plank.
Really struggled a little bit. But still it's again, it's
it's just one of those things that you know, you
got to she that's not her strength. She worked really
hard and I'm super proud of her. And now now
I fight. I'm fighting this with her and I'm not
going to do it. But she reached the goal. But
(12:32):
now so much of me wants to go, all right,
what's the next goal. I want to enjoy this for
a while. Right before we go, okay, how can we
get it to ten forty five?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (12:45):
We lower it twenty seconds, thirty seconds, forty seconds. I
don't know, Like well, but what is your like? Is
your is your goal going to be? Whatever it is
she has to pass for her leadership academy.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I know I want her to do the best she can.
I don't want her to shoot for the minimum. That's
my concern. Do not be satisfied with the minimum.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
That's why in running they refer to it as the
pr It's your personal reck right, that's all that matters. Right,
This is for you personally, Like you're competing against yourself,
not nobody else. But again, I don't want her to
go okay, I can do it in the time that's required.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
That's all that's required of me. I'm right done.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
I think you're going to have a hard time keeping
her running between now and her leadership Academy PFT, which
is at the beginning of June. Like, I feel like
there's a little part of it this, like, oh, I
shoud probably get a little vacation now, that's where the
fight's going to be right now, right, And.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
She's got me running a little bit too, JB, which is.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Very I would run if she would allow me to
be around. I'm not allowed anywhere near the running. She
has a huge problem with me being around. Can I
just tell you how bad it makes me?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
JB?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Can I just tell you this, JB. These two like
at the track, I thought I was gonna have to
step getting between us. I thought, okay, we're gonna find
out we are. We are gonna find out who can
whoop poo right now?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Because my money was on Landry.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Oh no, no no, And she is freak.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
And they cannot stand each other. It's like they hate
each other.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
It's trust me, it's her.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
You don't like her either.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
I don't like her sass.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
The other day before we got there, we're just walking,
just warming up, and out of nowhere, Landry goes and
I don't want to hear anything from this one either,
pointing at me, and I was like, And in that
moment it was like the Granny and the Walgreens.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I was like, oh, okay, now you want that's how
we're going to do this.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
And it was on right.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
So you know what's interesting about you and running? And
I'm sure you can relate to this.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I heard this. Maybe it was on Rogan or something.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
I don't know where I was hearing this guy talking
about running, and especially a lot of adult men. It
depending on what sport you did growing up, and then
you played football and you were wrestling, all right, So
it's true with these sports. It's also true with basketball
and baseball. Running is associated for those sports as punishment.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Yeah, so I grew up running cross country in track.
That was the reward, right, still run. But people who
played a lot of other sports, and they specifically talk
about it. When you get in trouble that coach gets
mad at the team.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
What do they do?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
They make you run when you're out of line.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
You get a lippy go run, run back and forth
on the basketball court, run the perimeter of the baseball field.
It was always There are so many people who associate
running as with punishment because that's what.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
It was, right, And I need to remember that as
we continue this with her, Go Doss.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
You guys are a bunch of lollygaggers.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Today. Give me twenty gassers, right.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
That was the gassers for us were the width of
the football field, down back, down, back down, two and
a half on the so it was that two hundred
and fifty yards, I guess. But gassers are different everywhere.
I don't know what they were in cross country probably
a mile out mile back, I don't know, but eight
(16:14):
miles for your life, for practice.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
See you tomorrow, start running.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
We had stuff like growing up in Georgetown. The coach
would just drive us to Wallburg and say, right back
to school. Oh my god, I'm not kidding. I see
those kids. I see him, and I always think of you, JB.
I see him on the Brushy Creek trail. Its tall, skinny,
lean kids out running in a pack of them.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Yeah, they're always really close together.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Yeah yeah, skinny little kids, no shirt.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
And I said the Trisha wants last what JB looked like, yep,
Alter your high school man.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
They can run. It's amazing. Have you ever heard of
David Goggins? You ever heard of him? Now? He's a uh,
he's a fitness ultra marathon or dude.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
He's a former Navy seal that couldn't get into the
Navy his first time because he was like three hundred
pounds or something.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
They wouldn't let him in, so he lost all the weight.
But he runs.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
He was doing an interview once they and they said
you run for hours, and he goes, no, I run
for days. He ran, He's run for thirty nine straight hours.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Oh my gosh, how does the body even do that?
Speaker 2 (17:18):
It breaks down? I'm sure could you imagine thirty nine hours?
And he's one of those motivational guys you know that
is just crazy fit and that's his light. That's how
he makes his living being fit not bad. Wrapped this
up with congratulations to Landrew. Were alf proud of her
and all the other cadets that passed their PFTs yesterday
