“Would You Survive an FBI Background Check? Real ID Drama, Fruitcake Songs & Holiday Surprises!” Episode Description 🎙️ “If the FBI ran a background check on you today, would you be nervous?” That’s the question that kicks off a rollercoaster episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where holiday cheer meets real-life drama and unexpected laughs! 🎄🚨 Sandy, JB, and Tricia dive into Austin’s changing landscape, reminiscing about the city’s green spaces and sturdy new buildings, while sharing stories that blend nostalgia with humor. From the passing of Austin’s progressive mayor Frank Cooksey to wild tales of cows and squirrels causing chaos on Texas highways (“Are squirrels that indecisive in every aspect of their life?”), the hosts keep you entertained with their signature wit. The episode heats up with Tricia’s “story we love,” spotlighting the looming Real ID deadline. Did you know that starting February 1st, travelers without a Real ID or passport will face a $45 fee and up to 30 minutes of extra verification at the airport? “You’ve had 20 years… $45 and up to 30 minutes while they verify whatever other ID you brought with you.” The hosts speculate about the 6% of people who still haven’t updated their IDs—are they running from the law, or just procrastinating? 😅 Memorable moments abound as Sandy and Tricia share their own brushes with bureaucracy and the law:
- Sandy’s forgotten court fee from a 1990 bar fight (“Texas didn’t care. Iowa did. Ohio did.”)
- Tricia’s unexpected night in jail for a $35 court fee (“I was all cute and dressed up… crying with makeup streaked down my face.”)
- The infamous “pooped in public” mugshot story that had everyone in stitches.
- The wild world of Texas highways, where cows and pigs are as much a hazard as speeding cars.
- Squirrel survival tactics and the mystery of their “nut maps.”
- A mashup of Old West history and podcast recommendations for curious listeners.
- “Are squirrels that way in every aspect of their life? Like, you’re my girlfriend, no you’re not.”
- “You’ve had 20 years… $45 and up to 30 minutes while they verify whatever other ID you brought with you.”
- “I was all cute and dressed up… crying with makeup streaked down my face.”

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Not to start the show out, especially during the holiday
season with the bummer. But one of the mayor of
Austin back in the eighties passed away.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
JB.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I'm gonna lean on you and Trisha for this one
because I wasn't here yet.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Yeah, it's you know, that's probably the first mayor I remember,
Frank Cooksey. Yeah, it was in the mid mid to
late eighties. First one I remember in my lifetime. You know,
I was in high school at that time. I think
it was real progressive on Barton Springs.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Yeah, he was very environmental, he was uh huh.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Thank you, Frank Cooksey right for having some vision and
keeping Austin beautiful, which, as big as Austin's gotten, has
gotten harder and harder to keep Austin as pretty as
it's always been, right right.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah. It's so interesting though, because we were always known
for green space. It's it's not an ugly downtown as
far as downtown's go. Look at it from a distance,
because it's all brand new building, right Yeah, Yeah, it's
all brand new, you know, So it's it's attractive in
(01:10):
a different way, don't you think Austin downtown.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, yeah, because it's all.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I mean, I like an old city too, but I'm
telling you I've been I remember when I moved from
Austin to Cincinnati, and I spent a year in Cincinnati.
And I remember getting to Cincinnati and I was like, boy,
did I take Austin for granted, because things really are
falling apart here. Like one of the main bridges that
connected Cincinnati to northern Kentucky was literally.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Collapsing, falling apart there, Yeah, falling apart.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
And I was like, wow, I'm back in Austin where
everything is brand new, sturdy.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah, I thought the same thing. I took a cycling
trip and I was in Chattanooga, which feels remarkably like Austin.
It's rolling hills, there's a river that run us through it,
except the buildings were old.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
That was the difference. They weren't as tall and they
were all like really old. But how that is it's
charmed too.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
No, it's just different. It's just a different kind of thing.
We just all of our old buildings have been demolished.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
We've got another example of how you don't have to
get very far out of Austin and you're in the
country and get some This didn't really happen out in
the country, but it's very small town Newsy out on
SAH forty five, right, Tricia.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
SH forty five and SH one thirty.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
SH one thirty is the road that has an eighty
five mile an hour speed limit on it, fastest in America. So, right,
so you feel like you're very like modern maybe kind of. Yeah,
southundlines were shut down on Saturday night because somebody hit
a cow.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I mean, that's not funny because I probably got hurt one.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Right, I can't imagine how much damage a cow can
do to a car just after deer. Yeah, but I
mean eighty five miles an hour sh forwenty five to
seventy five and it was on an on ramp and
somebody hit at cow.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oh. I heard that they got to figure out where
that cow came from.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Right, Well, I mean all around SAH one thirty is
pastured land.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
So you're on the road.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
It has the highest speed limit in the States. But
you also got to watch that for cows and pigs.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Yeah, we haven't heard about a pig collision in a while,
but when that first opened up, that was a big problem.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
There were so many wild hogs and then they put
a bounty on them, right, I think so, yeah, I
think they paid you to it sounds so, it sounds
so primitive. But bringing in a hog's tail they paid
like that's awful. Doesn't that sound like the kill? Right?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
That sounds like something from two hundred years ago? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
And then they would give you potatoes. Yeah, right in
the tail.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Here's your reward.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Six squirrels got your bag of potatoes, right right?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Hey, got the job done.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Right, I guess either that of those pigs white up
and they're all send the word out, don't go near
the fast road, right they all?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I mean they that used to be their land.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
There's got to be some of the person that hit
the cows had to have said, you gotta be kidneyed.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah, it was real foggy, that was one of the
things that police said. But still an entire cow not great.
That car's total, sure.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
It's gotta be absolutely I mean you can a deer
can total a car. Right. Hell, I'm dodging squirrels left
and right. They're out, man. The squirrels are busy right now,
getting ready for winter, and they are out and about,
and they got to figure out that the their tactic
for crossing the road of just freezing up and playing
I Am a statue.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I Am a statue is not a good one. It's
not working.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yeah, they never know what they're doing or where they go.
Are they are they that are squirrels that way in
every aspect of their life, like.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
You're not.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
And do you think they leave maps for because the
squirrel kill ratio scroll to car ratio it's pretty high,
So you think you think they're leaving little maps for
their wives or their families to where they buried all
their nuts, because they're burying him everywhere.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Right, Because a guy squirrel goes out, Like I think
what you're saying is they go out and gather their
stuff for the winner, and then he gets hit by
a car.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
His wife needs to know where the stuff is.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
I thinkis are at home. It's a it's like a
will or a lock box, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah,
I wonder about the squirrels.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, Jamie, if they are like that their entire life,
like can't decide what to do?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh life life saut schasty.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Coming up on the show, we are close enough to
Christmas now to play the Fruitcake song. It's been a minute. Well,
it's been since last year that we played the Fruitcake Song.
If you're a new listener don't know about the Fruitcake Song,
you need to hear it and the explanation and the
story behind it.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
It's a song that's over twenty five years old.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Those are the thirty right, yeah, thirty years old about
a guy in love with Santa and he cannot wait
for him to get there. So we got the Fruitcake
Song coming up in just a little bit, and Trisha's
got the Story We Love next, were.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
The app All right, we're going to talk about all
you people who have been ignoring the countless reminders to
get your real ID done. I'm going to tell you
what's going to start happening to you on February first.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
All right, stay with us. The Story We Love is
next one three to one Austin dot com.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
You can find us on Facebook search the JB and
Sandy Morning Show. It's Austin's eighty station one O three
point one. The Fruitcake Song coming up between seven point
thirty and seven forty five, So be here. Fourth it's
it's JB singing the song and if you've never heard it,
you need to hear it. If you have heard it,
then you know you love it. So stay with us.
(06:43):
That's coming up between seven thirty and seven forty five
this morning, the Stories We Love.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
The real ID Act was passed by Congress in two
thousand and five. It was in response to Post nine
to eleven security for when you're flying. They kind of
have been dragging their feets on implementing it, but they
finally about a year and a half ago started giving
out the warnings. By twenty twenty five, real ID they
every time you went to the airport, there were signs,
(07:11):
there were commercials, everything. Ninety four percent of the people
have done it. There are still six percent of the
people who I guess they think that this rule doesn't
apply to them. So they are letting people know that
starting February first of next year, any travelers without a
real ID or other acceptable form of ID, which in
this case is a passport, you will be charged forty
(07:32):
five dollars to use an alternative identity because then they
have to go into a different verification system to check
whatever ID that you have brought.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It could take anywhere from.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Ten to fifteen minutes to do that, or an additional
thirty plus minutes, So either get your real id or
be prepared to shell out forty five dollars and spend
up to half an hour getting verified before you get through.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Please tell me they're taking them to some other place
to do this and not holding up the line.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
To do that. Oh, surely they are. Surely they are.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I have no idea, But it only costs ten bucks
to go in and get your real idea.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
People. Yeah, either twenty years.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Twenty years that they've been talking about it, at least
a year and a half that they've been promoting it,
and it's been in effect for at least six months now,
I think.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
So forty dollars.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Forty five bucks and up to thirty minutes while they
verify whatever other idea you brought with you.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Which grudu my gas is so, as you said, six percent,
that sounds about like a number would be of people
who are scared to renew it because they're running from
the law or something.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Oh oh they aren't.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
They're they're they're afraid they're going to get arrested. That's
that's my guess. That's why they're right.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
So if they don't get it updated though, but they
come to the airport with not a real idea and
not a passport, then all that stuff's going to get
run anyway for them to verify that it's okay for
you to travel those that six percent is either way.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
You're right, that's a great call, JB.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
And would you guys be nervous if there if they did,
let's see, the FBI did a background check on you,
would you at all be nervous?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
No, Now, I had one done when I got I
got my mortgage license, and they do an FBI that's
a background check on you. And I honestly was thinking, like,
I'm not really worried about this. I don't think there's
anything there. But it's one thing that did happen to
me once when I was trying to get a driver's license.
Again I told you earlier, I lived in Cincinnati for
a year, so I tried to get an Ohio driver's license,
(09:35):
and I went to get it. They go, dude, you've
got a court costs from the state of Iowa from
nineteen ninety that you haven't taken care of. I can't
get Yeah, we can't give you a driver's license. I go,
you have got to be kidding me.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
It's crazy, and Texas didn't care.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Iowa did, Texas to Ohio did, and they gave me
the number. They said, just call this number and pay
it and you'll be fine. I was like, wow, you're
not gonna arrest me right now, and they're like no,
And so yeah, I called it.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It was from nineteen ninety hours of four.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I got a bar fighttally question and went to court
and it got dismissed and all that, but I had
to pay it. How much was it like forty five
bucks fifty? It's not like it was adding interest or
penalty all these years to goodness. But yeah, it's funny
how something like that just pops up that you had
completely forgotten about.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
That's like when I, I don't know, twenty something years ago,
I did a write out with an APD officer in
Austin a friend.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
So much fun, which is fun to do?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Oh my god, to ride out with the police department
is so cool. And a week later I got pulled
over for speeding. In order to be a proof for
a write out, you have to have a background check, right,
makes sense. A week later I got pulled over for
speeding and the police officer took my license came back
up and said I need you to turn your vehicle
(11:04):
off and step out.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
It's never good.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
And I was all shut up and I did a
little like pushed him on his chest. Yeah, because I
thought my APD friend that I had just done the
riote out with maybe heard my name and it was
like the give this girl crap right, and he was like,
you need to step out of the car.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Long story short.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I got arrested and taken downtown for a court fee,
A thirty five dollars court fee. Yeah, that a payment
for a ticket had crossed in the mail. That was
back when you had to mail in checks to pay
for tickets. But you're all confident nothing's going to pop up,
like I was.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
And I went to jail and isn't that the time
when they sat you down and the cop told all
the guys in there, don't even look.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Oh yeah, I still had all my clothes from work.
I was all cute and dressed up. And they took
me in and they had a handcuffed. I was handcuffed
and they set me on that bench waiting to be processed,
and they were like eight giant scary men and the
cop had them all squished to one end and looked
(12:03):
away from me, and they put me down on the
other end, and a cop stood there and said, don't
even look at her. And I'm all crying with like
makeup streaked down my face. It was for a thirty
five dollars court feet Did.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
You give a mugshot? No?
Speaker 5 (12:15):
No, no, they didn't. I didn't go in a cell
or anything. Immediately went in. I immediately went into night court.
They full on where black and white striped uniforms like prisoner.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
You know, I've seen some coworkers mugshots.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
And I started crying there too because the person I
was sitting near was there because they pooped in public.
Speaker 1 (12:37):

(06:43):
That's coming up between seven thirty and seven forty five
this morning, the Stories We Love.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
The real ID Act was passed by Congress in two
thousand and five. It was in response to Post nine
to eleven security for when you're flying. They kind of
have been dragging their feets on implementing it, but they
finally about a year and a half ago started giving
out the warnings. By twenty twenty five, real ID they
every time you went to the airport, there were signs,
(07:11):
there were commercials, everything. Ninety four percent of the people
have done it. There are still six percent of the
people who I guess they think that this rule doesn't
apply to them. So they are letting people know that
starting February first of next year, any travelers without a
real ID or other acceptable form of ID, which in
this case is a passport, you will be charged forty
(07:32):
five dollars to use an alternative identity because then they
have to go into a different verification system to check
whatever ID that you have brought.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It could take anywhere from.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Ten to fifteen minutes to do that, or an additional
thirty plus minutes, So either get your real id or
be prepared to shell out forty five dollars and spend
up to half an hour getting verified before you get through.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Please tell me they're taking them to some other place
to do this and not holding up the line.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
To do that. Oh, surely they are. Surely they are.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I have no idea, But it only costs ten bucks
to go in and get your real idea.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
People. Yeah, either twenty years.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Twenty years that they've been talking about it, at least
a year and a half that they've been promoting it,
and it's been in effect for at least six months now,
I think.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
So forty dollars.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Forty five bucks and up to thirty minutes while they
verify whatever other idea you brought with you.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Which grudu my gas is so, as you said, six percent,
that sounds about like a number would be of people
who are scared to renew it because they're running from
the law or something.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Oh oh they aren't.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
They're they're they're afraid they're going to get arrested. That's
that's my guess. That's why they're right.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
So if they don't get it updated though, but they
come to the airport with not a real idea and
not a passport, then all that stuff's going to get
run anyway for them to verify that it's okay for
you to travel those that six percent is either way.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
You're right, that's a great call, JB.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
And would you guys be nervous if there if they did,
let's see, the FBI did a background check on you,
would you at all be nervous?
Speaker 2 (09:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
No, Now, I had one done when I got I
got my mortgage license, and they do an FBI that's
a background check on you. And I honestly was thinking, like,
I'm not really worried about this. I don't think there's
anything there. But it's one thing that did happen to
me once when I was trying to get a driver's license.
Again I told you earlier, I lived in Cincinnati for
a year, so I tried to get an Ohio driver's license,
(09:35):
and I went to get it. They go, dude, you've
got a court costs from the state of Iowa from
nineteen ninety that you haven't taken care of. I can't
get Yeah, we can't give you a driver's license. I go,
you have got to be kidding me.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
It's crazy, and Texas didn't care.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Iowa did, Texas to Ohio did, and they gave me
the number. They said, just call this number and pay
it and you'll be fine. I was like, wow, you're
not gonna arrest me right now, and they're like no,
And so yeah, I called it.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
It was from nineteen ninety hours of four.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
I got a bar fighttally question and went to court
and it got dismissed and all that, but I had
to pay it. How much was it like forty five
bucks fifty? It's not like it was adding interest or
penalty all these years to goodness. But yeah, it's funny
how something like that just pops up that you had
completely forgotten about.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
That's like when I, I don't know, twenty something years ago,
I did a write out with an APD officer in
Austin a friend.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
So much fun, which is fun to do?
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Oh my god, to ride out with the police department
is so cool. And a week later I got pulled
over for speeding. In order to be a proof for
a write out, you have to have a background check, right,
makes sense. A week later I got pulled over for
speeding and the police officer took my license came back
up and said I need you to turn your vehicle
(11:04):
off and step out.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
It's never good.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
And I was all shut up and I did a
little like pushed him on his chest. Yeah, because I
thought my APD friend that I had just done the
riote out with maybe heard my name and it was
like the give this girl crap right, and he was like,
you need to step out of the car.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Long story short.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
I got arrested and taken downtown for a court fee,
A thirty five dollars court fee. Yeah, that a payment
for a ticket had crossed in the mail. That was
back when you had to mail in checks to pay
for tickets. But you're all confident nothing's going to pop up,
like I was.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
And I went to jail and isn't that the time
when they sat you down and the cop told all
the guys in there, don't even look.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Oh yeah, I still had all my clothes from work.
I was all cute and dressed up. And they took
me in and they had a handcuffed. I was handcuffed
and they set me on that bench waiting to be processed,
and they were like eight giant scary men and the
cop had them all squished to one end and looked
(12:03):
away from me, and they put me down on the
other end, and a cop stood there and said, don't
even look at her. And I'm all crying with like
makeup streaked down my face. It was for a thirty
five dollars court feet Did.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
You give a mugshot? No?
Speaker 5 (12:15):
No, no, they didn't. I didn't go in a cell
or anything. Immediately went in. I immediately went into night court.
They full on where black and white striped uniforms like prisoner.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
You know, I've seen some coworkers mugshots.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
And I started crying there too because the person I
was sitting near was there because they pooped in public.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
