Speaker 1 (00:05):
Okay, hey everyone, welcome to the JB and Sandy Hour.
Thanks for being with us. My name is Sandy, This
is JB. Hello, Tricia's here. Hi everybody, and we're off
and running. And Tricia can't stop talking about the chance
of a wintery mix of weather coming our way.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Why because it's something other than sun and heat. In Austin,
it's just get we get a winter for like two
weeks and then I like it when it's like extreme winter.
And I like it when people are a little worried
that they need to go to each you be and
get plenty of food and gutting in hot chocolate and
(00:47):
the cookies. Like I love that feeling of it being
super cold outside so you have to stay inside, not mad.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Thank you. I will take a warm day over a
cold day any day of the week. And I know
JB is the same.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
One hundred percent. I don't care if it's one hundred
and five degrees anything.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
But it's like that all the time here, Like don't
you sometimes like a little bit of something different, like
oh this is different, this is fun.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Oh okay, our past. When is it supposed to happen? Tricia?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Well, right now, the last I heard was Wednesday night
into Thursday morning. Landry's already our daughter's already on high
alert that school might be canceled or pushed back a
couple of hours. Fingers crossed. So I'm going to the
grocery store tomorrow to get all the good stuff to
have in the house.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah. Growing up in the in the Midwest, in Omaha, Nebraska,
there was nothing more exciting than listening to the radio
in the morning on a bad weather day to hear
your school got canceled for the day. And kids nowadays
have been they've been robbed of that excitement because it's
now all sent out in an email or on social
(01:57):
media or whatever. I'm surprised that the schools haven't already
canceled school the mere threat triumptively. Yeah, some kind of
God forbid their little children get a little bit cold face.
Some adversity be really, really tough, wouldn't it. So anyway,
that's supposed to come on Thursday, right, yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Now, Wednesday night, Thursday morning.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Maybe I'm trying to remember, maybe you have a better
memory of it. But at some point in our radio
career we made the decision to stop doing closings.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
But we did.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, y'all wouldn't announce them anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Didn't we do them in the nineties. In the late nineties,
we were still doing them, right, school closures or no.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah we were we yeah, we were.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
And then at some point we were like, I don't
think we have to do this anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, taken care of getting that.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
It probably took some arguing on our part with the
management to say no, one the Yeah, it's done differently.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Now, probably an automated car or something. At that time.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, you're right, you're right. But I do remember spending
the night at the radio station when it was bad. Yeah,
so we could be there in the morning. It was
kind of fun. We made a party of it, you know,
in a couple of cases of beer from tequila.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
And then you know, I have to be delicate what
I say here. But then now we learned later that
when it's like it used to be so important to
make it in to be on the radio on a
snow day, what we learned later is that people get
up gop, not going to work, not going to school.
They're gone, gone, and it's just talking to ourselves for
(03:38):
the rest of the morning.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It feels like that a lot of times sometimes just
us sit there talking to our talking to ourselves. Hey,
coming up with the show. We got a lot of stuff
to talk about. Today. Tricia and our daughter took their
first get well it's Mooie Tai. It's kickboxing, their first
kickboxing clash yesterday. Yeah, I gotta tell you, I was
(04:00):
impressed with these two, Like I was like, Wow, I
had no idea that these ladies could do that. So
we'll talk about that. I had to tell you why
I've been at it. That's coming up in just a
little bit. But up next, versus got the story. We
love what you have.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
All right, we have to talk about the new beer
that is officially the top of the list in the
United States. Bud has been bud Light has been knocked
off of its decades long thrown as being the number
one beer, and I'm surprised at who the new winner is.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I'm curious for your thoughts on this. As a beer
connoisseur and drinker, JB. I'd love to hear your thoughts
on what the number one beer is and why. All Right,
stay with us, we got it coming up on Austin's
eighties station. What three point one streaming on the iHeartRadio app.
It's the JB and Sandy Our thanks for being with us.
Grabbed the podcast version the show as well. Search the
(04:50):
Sandy Show on the iHeartRadio app and then look for
the ones labeled theud JB and Sandy Show. We'll do
it again tomorrow and Thursday from eight until nine o'clock.
Just a real quick heads up. Thursday morning, we're gonna
have the voice of the Longhorns, Craig Way. It's going
to be on the show with Race, which is cool.
Longhorns play on Saturday in Arlington and the Cotton Bowl
(05:14):
against Ohio State, so be fun to have Craig Way.
For my money, Craig Way is the best college play
by play guy in the business.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
I mean, he's gled to get his thoughts on what
we talked about the fact that it's the Cotton Bowl
and it's not in the Cotton.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Bowl, right, yeah, yeah, it is a little weird. So
he'll be with us Thursday morning. Be here for it.
His stories we love.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
So For as long as I can remember, all my
beer drinking days that I've had, bud Light has been
the number one go to draft beer in the US decades,
has been number one. There is a new winner in town.
And I'm shocked, very interested that this is the number
one michelob Ultra. Micalobe Ultras now number one in the US.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
That's crazy. I mean just yeah, Bud is just so American,
right right.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
It's so American.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
And I feel like people who drank the Globe Ultra
got made fun of, you know what I mean. I mean, like, really,
you can't drink beer, but they're saying that beer drinkers
are leaning into the low carb, health conscious vibes that
mclob is putting out there. They've stepped up their sponsorships
and their marketing and they got not Bud got like
(06:29):
got knocked down mclob ultras in Wow.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I think I've read something last year too, like Medello
is the number one selling import. Yea, not far behind
these guys. It's huge. Yeah, it's it's interesting that comes
up because craft breweries are closing right and left that
had run.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I was a diehard. I was real into it, but
you know what, at a certain point, I'm just like, man,
these are heavy. Yeah, You're just really heavy. And when
I really realized it, I was like, I have a
daughter who's twenty three and what do they all drink?
They all drink white cloth, right or not at all?
Like alcohol is just kind of out of favor with
(07:14):
the younger generation.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yep, I've noticed that.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
And then and I was like, okay, well I'll give
it a try. All these twenty somethings can't can't be wrong.
And then when you you, you know, you drink something
lighter like that, that isn't that? Because I love the
heavy I pas and all that, like if you could chew.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
And then at a certain point you're just like, mmm,
this isn't good. Yeah, all occasionally I have like have one,
but nah, not so much anything.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
This is the second third time around for the for
the craft breweries though, because they were big. There used
to be a craft beer festival in Austin. It was
like at fourth in Colorado, that little intersection there and
there was a hand full a dozen maybe craft brews
that participated in that festival. And then the Copper Tank
(08:06):
had its day, right yeah, and then that went away,
and then it came back fifteen years later for another run.
And like jab just said, a lot of them are
shutting down left and right.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, well a lot of it changed too with the
Texas laws, Like we saw a big craft brew explosion
because prior to I mean this, how far are we
going back ballpart eight ten years ago, maybe twelve. They
you used to have to be with one of the
big distributors or you couldn't get your beer in a store.
(08:41):
You couldn't you couldn't sell it. And they over they
changed that law so that anyone can make their own
and distribute and do all that right, And that's why
it was just like overnight, there were one hundred craft
brewers in Austin.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
All these guys were in there their garage for the
last twenty five years doing this, and all of a
sudden they got approval by t ABC and they could
bottle it and can it and put it in the store, right.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Yeah, and it and it was huge for a while.
And then along comes the Seltzers, the White Clocks, and
then all of a sudden they lost all the craft
brewers lost half their shelf space. You think about it,
when you go in a convenience store, it would used
to just be a wall of beer, right, all of
a sudden, it was half of them went to Seltzer's
(09:28):
and it just something had to give. I mean, the
industry just got turned upside down.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, I'm shocked that Crown Royal didn't go out of
business when I quit drinking. I'm surprised they those Canadians
still haven't. Yeah, I mean there was a real dip
in revenue. They're looking at their charts going what happened
in Austin, Texas. Guy, I think someone said Sandy quit
(09:55):
drinking it, So that's probably your answer right there. That's probably,
But you know, it's funny, Mick ultra On. They make
kind of a big deal about it on the TV
show Landman. That's all they drink in land Man. In fact,
that makes fun sure, Yeah yeah, and they make and
it fits for that show and their things, and they
(10:16):
make fun of bud Light. And they're still going back
to the what was the Dylan what's their name? It's name?
The girl that was you remember when they had they
paid that Yeah, yeah, well what was I don't even
remember her name. I know who you're talking to telling something, right, right?
(10:36):
That was a big backlash, that was, I mean, there
was a huge response to that and it wasn't good.
But is it Mick, is michelob still owned by Anneuser Busch.
May care, right? Is it owned Busch?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Oh that's a good question, because it is. Yeah, they're
getting their money anyway.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Now I think it might.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I think it might be owned by Budweiser because Bush.
Oh you're right then, yeah it is. Because you're right.
Then why do they care? I was thinking it was.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
It's in bev ander bus Uh, okay, very interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Hey still can't beat a good shiner.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Bock though, right, Oh yeah, we're a stella.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
JB tells a funny story about back in the day
how much you could get a shiner bock for it
thread Gills on Thursday nights or something.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, nights to go the thread Gills north of mar
when we were in college. They would do uh it
was like two.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
For a quarter.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
They couldn't. You couldn't give away shiner bock back then.
Oh uh, well they practically were. So we would go
and we'd get our we'd get our two or our
quarter shiner back would get they'd limit you to two.
We'd eat our chip, one basket of chips and Salsta
more chips, please, more chips, more ships, and we would
(11:57):
maybe they could. I think they that you have four
beers and then they'd cut you off fifty they're assuming
you're gonna buy food right to eat, and we scan
the system. But then my fun, my theory on on
shiner bock taking off. Like I said, you couldn't give
(12:18):
this stuff away back in the eighties, and I think
all the musicians started drinking it because it was so
cheap and that made it cool, gotcha, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
That's true. Uh, And then I mean it was fun.
You talk about those two for a quarter or whatever.
It was fun. You just scan the Austin Chronicle to
see who had free food at their happy hour, like
Embassy Suits used to have like a whole buffet. Yes
you remember that. Yeah, you go to the Embassy Suites
and on fifteenth.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Sometimes they would ask to see your room key or whatever,
but not always.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
You could just not crash it. Yeah, yeah, not very often.
You just he's got it, he's got the room key,
point over there. You'd go in there, and then you
had the great steak and the surf and turf at
the Yellow Rose. I mean, are you apply.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
To try to play it off like you're staying there
it's like ah meetings all day talking to the bartender. Yeah,
just one meeting after another at the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Didn't I see you yesterday here? Like, oh yeah, I'm
gonna be here for a while. Well, Mick Ultra the
new number one beer in America. I'd love to see
what the number one beer in Texas is, and my
probably falls right in line. I have no idea. All
I know is I went to Jack Allen's with JB
and he ordered something from the bartender. Again. I quit
drinking nine years ago, so I'm out of the gate.
(13:44):
But JB ordered some sort of jellyfish rock and roll thing,
and I was like, what the hell, Electric, Are you
ordering a donut or a beer? What's going on? Jellyfish
amber or something? What was it? Logger?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
You know the place Pinehouse. You've been to a Pinehouse pizza? Yeah,
that's their beer. They brew their own beer, and their
electric jellyfish is one of the best ones in town.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Electric Electric chat thought was Egyptian jellyfish. I didn't know
what he was talking. I was like, I'll have a
Shirley Temple, make it a double. Why don't you hey?
Stick around? Tricia and our daughter did something yesterday. It
was pretty cool. They took a class a mooy Tie
which is a kickboxing right, it's the original term for kickboxing.
(14:33):
And I gotta tell you, I was pretty impressed and
you got to tell everybody about this, Tricia, stay with us.
It is coming up next on Austin's eighties station on
three point one. JB. I'm raising a killer. I'm raising
a killer and I'm married to one two. I mean,
these girls, it's uh, it was pretty impressive. It's the
(14:55):
JB and Sandy Howard. Thanks for being with us. Yesterday,
Tricia took a a mooe tie class, which is a
kickboxing which is kickboxing at a place called Cooper Mma,
which is on six twenty across from Ski Doc and
you loved it. I watched these girls JB doing it.
They work with a guy's name is His name is
(15:16):
Sean Cooper and it's his gym and he's a fifth
degree black belt. This is a guy you don't want
to mess with, you know what I mean. He trains FBI,
he trained dea Austin Police Department. He's a guy that
if you looked at him, you'd be like, you know
what I mean? He will shove your head right up
(15:38):
your ass in about two seconds.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
You know what happens, right, and he was.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Their instructor yesterday. I'm sorry, J had a.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Question, was your first class? This is you Landry? We
went and did you've never done anything like this? Never?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I mean my typo background, that's what I've got. I
didn't know that when I was tye boing, I was
mooe tying, right, Apparently it's kind of the same. But
and Sandy made fun of me for it, but Sean
was like, yeah, no, that's a good bass because you know,
Billy Blank's legit guy. So when you're doing his instructional video,
(16:10):
so I kind of had a little bit of some
of the basic basics down, you know, like punching and
stuff like that. But no, I learned so much and
I had so much fun. I felt I felt automatically
very strong, like I was wanting to go in to
learn some self defense stuff. Definitely for our fifteen year
(16:31):
old daughter. I want her to learn some self defense stuff.
But even after that, just that one hour class with him,
I was like, I feel like I could totally defend myself.
I feel like I could kick somebody's ass if I
had one class. He's a very very good instructor and
either that or he's really good at making you feel
like you're doing a really good job.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
I don't know, but what.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I noticed about it we did punches. I was punching
his mits. He was holding the mits up.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I've only had clubs on and everything.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, gloves and everything. I have only ever punched the
air with tibo. It's only just me. The first time
I've ever made contact with anything, and it felt really good.
And then we did some knee knee kicks. I don't
know what do you call that, knee strikes strikes And
we did some kicks, like full on kicks, and I
(17:22):
told Sandy, you could feel it when you did it
right and you got a good kick in on one
of those bags that he was holding as like, I
feel like it must be what it's like when you're
playing golf when you connect and you really feel like
you hit a good one. You know it feels when
you hit it right. That's what it felt like when
I finally got my kicks right. It was just very cool,
very fun. I'm definitely going back for more.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
And one of the things you were really looking for,
as was Landry, was a workout.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah, he started us off.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I thought we were just going to go talk about it.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
He was going to assess us a little bit. He
was like, all right, let's warm up three minutes of jumping,
and I was all, three minutes.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
That's a long time to just costill leave each other.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
So Lander and I are facing each other doing them,
and I was like, three minutes is a long time, right,
She's like, yeah, it's a long time, But I mean
it was fine. We got through it, and then by
the end of it, I was pouring sweat. It was great.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, it was cool. I mean I didn't know really
what to expect from it with them JB. But watching it,
I mean just off the street and within an hour,
you guys had a combination going of like six or
seven things between punches, knee strikes and kicks. Yeah, you
guys had a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Like it was seven or eight step combo that we
were doing, like by the end of the hour, I
mean over and over and over again. It was very cool.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
What's the plan. You'll go like once a week and
it's part workout but part learning moves are I mean, yeah,
so I'm interested in it.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Will probably go a couple of times a week. As classes.
They're open seven days a week, all kinds of hours
for classes, different levels, different different disciplines that they offer,
and so yes for the exercise and workout of it,
but also just the self defense, the being able to
(19:18):
be the strong. I mean, it's so good for your body,
just the overall. I love it when my body feels strong,
and I want Ladr to have that feeling of if
I get in a sticky situation, I can protect myself
and defend myself.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
But also it's just cool.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It's just it was really fun. It was something different
than just doing tibo by myself in my room or
going to the gym and lifting weights, you know what
I mean. It was a lot more. It was a
lot more interactive.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
So you know, if you guys, if you're listening to
this and it's something you've maybe been interested in, you
just like don't know where to go or you feel uncomfortable,
just go to coopermma dot com and you can see
what they have to offer there and you can do
Landry Scott. She's gonna be taking a grappling slash jiu
jitsu class, which she is really looking forward to. She
(20:07):
wants to wrestle, so I'm like, all right, kid, go
get you on the mat and you'll learn some stuff. Uh.
And it's a tremendous, tremendous workout right, Jabi.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
You know I have a thing for police officers, right, okay,
love a police officer, Love a police officer in uniform.
And Sean told us that APD some FBI guys trained there.
And I got home and I took a shower, and
I got out of a shower and I went into
Sandy's room and I was like, just so you know,
don't let me walk into that place and there'd be
(20:40):
a police officer in uniform training, and definitely don't let
it be a motorcycle cop in his uniform training. Is like,
because I will immediately leave you for that person. He
was like, all right, I got it. Super cool to me.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I was excited. And as you were doing it, I
could see both of you guys smile. I just sat
and watched JB by the way, and they just were
smiling while they were doing it while punching and kicking things.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Well, he said, it's that whole of it. Getting aggression
out too. You probably felt really relaxed afterward, right.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Oh, definitely. I was tired afterwards.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I was like, let's just go sit down and rest
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
It was great again.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
If you want to get some more information about it
sounds like something you want to do, just go to
Cooper MMA dot com. He's JB. That's Tricia. My name
is Sandy. Stick around. We got more coming up on
Austin's eighty station one O three point one and streaming
on the iHeartRadio app
Okay, hey everyone, welcome to the JB and Sandy Hour.
Thanks for being with us. My name is Sandy, This
is JB. Hello, Tricia's here. Hi everybody, and we're off
and running. And Tricia can't stop talking about the chance
of a wintery mix of weather coming our way.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Why because it's something other than sun and heat. In Austin,
it's just get we get a winter for like two
weeks and then I like it when it's like extreme winter.
And I like it when people are a little worried
that they need to go to each you be and
get plenty of food and gutting in hot chocolate and
(00:47):
the cookies. Like I love that feeling of it being
super cold outside so you have to stay inside, not mad.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Thank you. I will take a warm day over a
cold day any day of the week. And I know
JB is the same.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
One hundred percent. I don't care if it's one hundred
and five degrees anything.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
But it's like that all the time here, Like don't
you sometimes like a little bit of something different, like
oh this is different, this is fun.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Oh okay, our past. When is it supposed to happen? Tricia?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Well, right now, the last I heard was Wednesday night
into Thursday morning. Landry's already our daughter's already on high
alert that school might be canceled or pushed back a
couple of hours. Fingers crossed. So I'm going to the
grocery store tomorrow to get all the good stuff to
have in the house.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah. Growing up in the in the Midwest, in Omaha, Nebraska,
there was nothing more exciting than listening to the radio
in the morning on a bad weather day to hear
your school got canceled for the day. And kids nowadays
have been they've been robbed of that excitement because it's
now all sent out in an email or on social
(01:57):
media or whatever. I'm surprised that the schools haven't already
canceled school the mere threat triumptively. Yeah, some kind of
God forbid their little children get a little bit cold face.
Some adversity be really, really tough, wouldn't it. So anyway,
that's supposed to come on Thursday, right, yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Now, Wednesday night, Thursday morning.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Maybe I'm trying to remember, maybe you have a better
memory of it. But at some point in our radio
career we made the decision to stop doing closings.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
But we did.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah, y'all wouldn't announce them anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Didn't we do them in the nineties. In the late nineties,
we were still doing them, right, school closures or no.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah we were we yeah, we were.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
And then at some point we were like, I don't
think we have to do this anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, taken care of getting that.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
It probably took some arguing on our part with the
management to say no, one the Yeah, it's done differently.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Now, probably an automated car or something. At that time.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, you're right, you're right. But I do remember spending
the night at the radio station when it was bad. Yeah,
so we could be there in the morning. It was
kind of fun. We made a party of it, you know,
in a couple of cases of beer from tequila.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
And then you know, I have to be delicate what
I say here. But then now we learned later that
when it's like it used to be so important to
make it in to be on the radio on a
snow day, what we learned later is that people get
up gop, not going to work, not going to school.
They're gone, gone, and it's just talking to ourselves for
(03:38):
the rest of the morning.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It feels like that a lot of times sometimes just
us sit there talking to our talking to ourselves. Hey,
coming up with the show. We got a lot of stuff
to talk about. Today. Tricia and our daughter took their
first get well it's Mooie Tai. It's kickboxing, their first
kickboxing clash yesterday. Yeah, I gotta tell you, I was
(04:00):
impressed with these two, Like I was like, Wow, I
had no idea that these ladies could do that. So
we'll talk about that. I had to tell you why
I've been at it. That's coming up in just a
little bit. But up next, versus got the story. We
love what you have.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
All right, we have to talk about the new beer
that is officially the top of the list in the
United States. Bud has been bud Light has been knocked
off of its decades long thrown as being the number
one beer, and I'm surprised at who the new winner is.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I'm curious for your thoughts on this. As a beer
connoisseur and drinker, JB. I'd love to hear your thoughts
on what the number one beer is and why. All Right,
stay with us, we got it coming up on Austin's
eighties station. What three point one streaming on the iHeartRadio app.
It's the JB and Sandy Our thanks for being with us.
Grabbed the podcast version the show as well. Search the
(04:50):
Sandy Show on the iHeartRadio app and then look for
the ones labeled theud JB and Sandy Show. We'll do
it again tomorrow and Thursday from eight until nine o'clock.
Just a real quick heads up. Thursday morning, we're gonna
have the voice of the Longhorns, Craig Way. It's going
to be on the show with Race, which is cool.
Longhorns play on Saturday in Arlington and the Cotton Bowl
(05:14):
against Ohio State, so be fun to have Craig Way.
For my money, Craig Way is the best college play
by play guy in the business.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
I mean, he's gled to get his thoughts on what
we talked about the fact that it's the Cotton Bowl
and it's not in the Cotton.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Bowl, right, yeah, yeah, it is a little weird. So
he'll be with us Thursday morning. Be here for it.
His stories we love.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
So For as long as I can remember, all my
beer drinking days that I've had, bud Light has been
the number one go to draft beer in the US decades,
has been number one. There is a new winner in town.
And I'm shocked, very interested that this is the number
one michelob Ultra. Micalobe Ultras now number one in the US.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
That's crazy. I mean just yeah, Bud is just so American,
right right.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
It's so American.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
And I feel like people who drank the Globe Ultra
got made fun of, you know what I mean. I mean, like, really,
you can't drink beer, but they're saying that beer drinkers
are leaning into the low carb, health conscious vibes that
mclob is putting out there. They've stepped up their sponsorships
and their marketing and they got not Bud got like
(06:29):
got knocked down mclob ultras in Wow.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I think I've read something last year too, like Medello
is the number one selling import. Yea, not far behind
these guys. It's huge. Yeah, it's it's interesting that comes
up because craft breweries are closing right and left that
had run.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I was a diehard. I was real into it, but
you know what, at a certain point, I'm just like, man,
these are heavy. Yeah, You're just really heavy. And when
I really realized it, I was like, I have a
daughter who's twenty three and what do they all drink?
They all drink white cloth, right or not at all?
Like alcohol is just kind of out of favor with
(07:14):
the younger generation.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yep, I've noticed that.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
And then and I was like, okay, well I'll give
it a try. All these twenty somethings can't can't be wrong.
And then when you you, you know, you drink something
lighter like that, that isn't that? Because I love the
heavy I pas and all that, like if you could chew.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I loved it.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
And then at a certain point you're just like, mmm,
this isn't good. Yeah, all occasionally I have like have one,
but nah, not so much anything.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
This is the second third time around for the for
the craft breweries though, because they were big. There used
to be a craft beer festival in Austin. It was
like at fourth in Colorado, that little intersection there and
there was a hand full a dozen maybe craft brews
that participated in that festival. And then the Copper Tank
(08:06):
had its day, right yeah, and then that went away,
and then it came back fifteen years later for another run.
And like jab just said, a lot of them are
shutting down left and right.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yeah, well a lot of it changed too with the
Texas laws, Like we saw a big craft brew explosion
because prior to I mean this, how far are we
going back ballpart eight ten years ago, maybe twelve. They
you used to have to be with one of the
big distributors or you couldn't get your beer in a store.
(08:41):
You couldn't you couldn't sell it. And they over they
changed that law so that anyone can make their own
and distribute and do all that right, And that's why
it was just like overnight, there were one hundred craft
brewers in Austin.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
All these guys were in there their garage for the
last twenty five years doing this, and all of a
sudden they got approval by t ABC and they could
bottle it and can it and put it in the store, right.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Yeah, and it and it was huge for a while.
And then along comes the Seltzers, the White Clocks, and
then all of a sudden they lost all the craft
brewers lost half their shelf space. You think about it,
when you go in a convenience store, it would used
to just be a wall of beer, right, all of
a sudden, it was half of them went to Seltzer's
(09:28):
and it just something had to give. I mean, the
industry just got turned upside down.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, I'm shocked that Crown Royal didn't go out of
business when I quit drinking. I'm surprised they those Canadians
still haven't. Yeah, I mean there was a real dip
in revenue. They're looking at their charts going what happened
in Austin, Texas. Guy, I think someone said Sandy quit
(09:55):
drinking it, So that's probably your answer right there. That's probably,
But you know, it's funny, Mick ultra On. They make
kind of a big deal about it on the TV
show Landman. That's all they drink in land Man. In fact,
that makes fun sure, Yeah yeah, and they make and
it fits for that show and their things, and they
(10:16):
make fun of bud Light. And they're still going back
to the what was the Dylan what's their name? It's name?
The girl that was you remember when they had they
paid that Yeah, yeah, well what was I don't even
remember her name. I know who you're talking to telling something, right, right?
(10:36):
That was a big backlash, that was, I mean, there
was a huge response to that and it wasn't good.
But is it Mick, is michelob still owned by Anneuser Busch.
May care, right? Is it owned Busch?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Oh that's a good question, because it is. Yeah, they're
getting their money anyway.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Now I think it might.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I think it might be owned by Budweiser because Bush.
Oh you're right then, yeah it is. Because you're right.
Then why do they care? I was thinking it was.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
It's in bev ander bus Uh, okay, very interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Hey still can't beat a good shiner.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Bock though, right, Oh yeah, we're a stella.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
JB tells a funny story about back in the day
how much you could get a shiner bock for it
thread Gills on Thursday nights or something.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Yeah, nights to go the thread Gills north of mar
when we were in college. They would do uh it
was like two.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
For a quarter.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
They couldn't. You couldn't give away shiner bock back then.
Oh uh, well they practically were. So we would go
and we'd get our we'd get our two or our
quarter shiner back would get they'd limit you to two.
We'd eat our chip, one basket of chips and Salsta
more chips, please, more chips, more ships, and we would
(11:57):
maybe they could. I think they that you have four
beers and then they'd cut you off fifty they're assuming
you're gonna buy food right to eat, and we scan
the system. But then my fun, my theory on on
shiner bock taking off. Like I said, you couldn't give
(12:18):
this stuff away back in the eighties, and I think
all the musicians started drinking it because it was so
cheap and that made it cool, gotcha, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
That's true. Uh, And then I mean it was fun.
You talk about those two for a quarter or whatever.
It was fun. You just scan the Austin Chronicle to
see who had free food at their happy hour, like
Embassy Suits used to have like a whole buffet. Yes
you remember that. Yeah, you go to the Embassy Suites
and on fifteenth.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Sometimes they would ask to see your room key or whatever,
but not always.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
You could just not crash it. Yeah, yeah, not very often.
You just he's got it, he's got the room key,
point over there. You'd go in there, and then you
had the great steak and the surf and turf at
the Yellow Rose. I mean, are you apply.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
To try to play it off like you're staying there
it's like ah meetings all day talking to the bartender. Yeah,
just one meeting after another at the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Didn't I see you yesterday here? Like, oh yeah, I'm
gonna be here for a while. Well, Mick Ultra the
new number one beer in America. I'd love to see
what the number one beer in Texas is, and my
probably falls right in line. I have no idea. All
I know is I went to Jack Allen's with JB
and he ordered something from the bartender. Again. I quit
drinking nine years ago, so I'm out of the gate.
(13:44):
But JB ordered some sort of jellyfish rock and roll thing,
and I was like, what the hell, Electric, Are you
ordering a donut or a beer? What's going on? Jellyfish
amber or something? What was it? Logger?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
You know the place Pinehouse. You've been to a Pinehouse pizza? Yeah,
that's their beer. They brew their own beer, and their
electric jellyfish is one of the best ones in town.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Electric Electric chat thought was Egyptian jellyfish. I didn't know
what he was talking. I was like, I'll have a
Shirley Temple, make it a double. Why don't you hey?
Stick around? Tricia and our daughter did something yesterday. It
was pretty cool. They took a class a mooy Tie
which is a kickboxing right, it's the original term for kickboxing.
(14:33):
And I gotta tell you, I was pretty impressed and
you got to tell everybody about this, Tricia, stay with us.
It is coming up next on Austin's eighties station on
three point one. JB. I'm raising a killer. I'm raising
a killer and I'm married to one two. I mean,
these girls, it's uh, it was pretty impressive. It's the
(14:55):
JB and Sandy Howard. Thanks for being with us. Yesterday,
Tricia took a a mooe tie class, which is a
kickboxing which is kickboxing at a place called Cooper Mma,
which is on six twenty across from Ski Doc and
you loved it. I watched these girls JB doing it.
They work with a guy's name is His name is
(15:16):
Sean Cooper and it's his gym and he's a fifth
degree black belt. This is a guy you don't want
to mess with, you know what I mean. He trains FBI,
he trained dea Austin Police Department. He's a guy that
if you looked at him, you'd be like, you know
what I mean? He will shove your head right up
(15:38):
your ass in about two seconds.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
You know what happens, right, and he was.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Their instructor yesterday. I'm sorry, J had a.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Question, was your first class? This is you Landry? We
went and did you've never done anything like this? Never?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I mean my typo background, that's what I've got. I
didn't know that when I was tye boing, I was
mooe tying, right, Apparently it's kind of the same. But
and Sandy made fun of me for it, but Sean
was like, yeah, no, that's a good bass because you know,
Billy Blank's legit guy. So when you're doing his instructional video,
(16:10):
so I kind of had a little bit of some
of the basic basics down, you know, like punching and
stuff like that. But no, I learned so much and
I had so much fun. I felt I felt automatically
very strong, like I was wanting to go in to
learn some self defense stuff. Definitely for our fifteen year
(16:31):
old daughter. I want her to learn some self defense stuff.
But even after that, just that one hour class with him,
I was like, I feel like I could totally defend myself.
I feel like I could kick somebody's ass if I
had one class. He's a very very good instructor and
either that or he's really good at making you feel
like you're doing a really good job.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
I don't know, but what.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I noticed about it we did punches. I was punching
his mits. He was holding the mits up.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I've only had clubs on and everything.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yeah, gloves and everything. I have only ever punched the
air with tibo. It's only just me. The first time
I've ever made contact with anything, and it felt really good.
And then we did some knee knee kicks. I don't
know what do you call that, knee strikes strikes And
we did some kicks, like full on kicks, and I
(17:22):
told Sandy, you could feel it when you did it
right and you got a good kick in on one
of those bags that he was holding as like, I
feel like it must be what it's like when you're
playing golf when you connect and you really feel like
you hit a good one. You know it feels when
you hit it right. That's what it felt like when
I finally got my kicks right. It was just very cool,
very fun. I'm definitely going back for more.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
And one of the things you were really looking for,
as was Landry, was a workout.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah, he started us off.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I thought we were just going to go talk about it.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
He was going to assess us a little bit. He
was like, all right, let's warm up three minutes of jumping,
and I was all, three minutes.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
That's a long time to just costill leave each other.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
So Lander and I are facing each other doing them,
and I was like, three minutes is a long time, right,
She's like, yeah, it's a long time, But I mean
it was fine. We got through it, and then by
the end of it, I was pouring sweat. It was great.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, it was cool. I mean I didn't know really
what to expect from it with them JB. But watching it,
I mean just off the street and within an hour,
you guys had a combination going of like six or
seven things between punches, knee strikes and kicks. Yeah, you
guys had a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Like it was seven or eight step combo that we
were doing, like by the end of the hour, I
mean over and over and over again. It was very cool.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
What's the plan. You'll go like once a week and
it's part workout but part learning moves are I mean, yeah,
so I'm interested in it.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Will probably go a couple of times a week. As classes.
They're open seven days a week, all kinds of hours
for classes, different levels, different different disciplines that they offer,
and so yes for the exercise and workout of it,
but also just the self defense, the being able to
(19:18):
be the strong. I mean, it's so good for your body,
just the overall. I love it when my body feels strong,
and I want Ladr to have that feeling of if
I get in a sticky situation, I can protect myself
and defend myself.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
But also it's just cool.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
It's just it was really fun. It was something different
than just doing tibo by myself in my room or
going to the gym and lifting weights, you know what
I mean. It was a lot more. It was a
lot more interactive.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
So you know, if you guys, if you're listening to
this and it's something you've maybe been interested in, you
just like don't know where to go or you feel uncomfortable,
just go to coopermma dot com and you can see
what they have to offer there and you can do
Landry Scott. She's gonna be taking a grappling slash jiu
jitsu class, which she is really looking forward to. She
(20:07):
wants to wrestle, so I'm like, all right, kid, go
get you on the mat and you'll learn some stuff. Uh.
And it's a tremendous, tremendous workout right, Jabi.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
You know I have a thing for police officers, right, okay,
love a police officer, Love a police officer in uniform.
And Sean told us that APD some FBI guys trained there.
And I got home and I took a shower, and
I got out of a shower and I went into
Sandy's room and I was like, just so you know,
don't let me walk into that place and there'd be
(20:40):
a police officer in uniform training, and definitely don't let
it be a motorcycle cop in his uniform training. Is like,
because I will immediately leave you for that person. He
was like, all right, I got it. Super cool to me.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I was excited. And as you were doing it, I
could see both of you guys smile. I just sat
and watched JB by the way, and they just were
smiling while they were doing it while punching and kicking things.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Well, he said, it's that whole of it. Getting aggression
out too. You probably felt really relaxed afterward, right.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Oh, definitely. I was tired afterwards.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I was like, let's just go sit down and rest
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
It was great again.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
If you want to get some more information about it
sounds like something you want to do, just go to
Cooper MMA dot com. He's JB. That's Tricia. My name
is Sandy. Stick around. We got more coming up on

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
