were going to make it a coloring book. Yeah, coloring book,
that's what it was.

Yeah, we got beat up by a bunch of cowboys.
Was jam and Sandy go to the rodeo? And that
was the big laugh is that we got we got
beat up at the rodeo. We never got that coloring

and his family went to the rodeo. He's going to
tell you about it, the Taylor Rodeo in just a second.

(00:52):
But if you guys, you've got to stick around because
coming up in about fifteen minutes. I had something happened
to me at the airport in Dalla Us that's really
random and where I'll give you a part of it,
then i'll tell you the rest later. This woman sitting
across me at the gate leaned over to me, and
she had a little boy sitting next to her. She goes,
excuse me, would you mind keeping an eye on him? Well,

(01:17):
I run to the bathroom. He's three. His name was Lyle.
Of course I said, yeah, sure, no problem. But when
she came back, I asked her why she picked me.
There was something for being ponk tree camera, right, So
if you stick around coming up in a little bit,
I'll tell you exact She was very thoughtful in picking me.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
I'll tell you that.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I mean sure, there were several reasons that she picked
me to watch her son Lyle. All right, we'll get
to that in just a little bit. So be here, Jamie.
Tell us about your trip out to the Taylor Rodeo.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Well we went. I went to the rodeo, my wife
and my daughter. My daughter's twenty three, and she brought
a friend. We went because my sister Chris is very
involved in the Taylor Rodeo. In fact, her husband, my
brother in law, Tim is the president of the Taylor
Rodeo Association. Oh so he's the pooh bab basically, And

(02:15):
I was catching up with her and she's like, oh,
y'all should come out, Like I got total VIP hookup.
And it was really fun. So we went and because
it was Thursday, Friday, Saturday, we went on Saturday night
and it was just such a good time. The Williamson
County Expo Center is nice, and you know my of course,

(02:35):
my wife got a nice custom cowboy hat that wasn't cheap,
of course, and I just had a blast, Like it
was really fun. You forget how entertaining a rodeo is,
and you also forget like it's just like a wholesome
slice of small town America that hasn't changed in fifty years.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
You know, like if you weren't able to like really
get a close look at what people are wearing and
stuff to give it a time stamp, it's the same
event it probably was forty fifty years ago, right yeah, right.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Competitions, yeah yeah, and it's just manned.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
We were right on the front row. I mean some
of those bulls get a little close. Yeah, one of
one of the when they were doing the bronco busting
or whatever you call it, and then you know, a
couple of horses came up right up against the rail
and it just knocked all our drinks over and you're like, Okay,

(03:35):
I didn't know I was going to be this close
to all this. But it's just the showmanship and the
cowboys and the bullfighters are so entertaining. And they were
doing a special tribute to one guy who was retiring
as a bullfight. That's the rodeo clowns. That's your body.
They're technically called fighters, right, Yeah, it.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Was Leon Coffee. They were doing the dedication to for retiring.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
It was like after thirty seven years or something like that. Yep.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
I've just known him since I was little. My great
he was friends with my grandfather. He's like a legend.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah, that's just cool. Like it's just you know, they
before it, you know, not only do they do the
national anthem, but they did a prayer. You can't do that, Like,
you wouldn't do that in Austin. You'll have a prayer,
especially because all these cowboys are about to put their

(04:30):
life on the line to entertain us, right, Yeah, so
I thought that was kind of cool. It was just
just it was just a throwback, you know, and you know,
probably growing up in Georgetown, things like this were kind
of lost on me, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yeah, you were definitely surrounded by them in Georgetown back
in the day, but just didn't know.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, so the competed it or the cowboys. Are they
local guys or these are like is this like a
touring show? Were they in Chyenne?

Speaker 3 (04:57):
They were mostly Texans. Yeah, they were, like I think,
from just about everyone they introed, whether it was the
you know, the barrel riders or bull riders or any
of them roping. They were mostly from Central Texas, this area.
They were definitely all Texans.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
The regional rodeo, yeah right, Yeah, they say that a
lot of them. I read that a lot of the
top bull riders out there are from like Brazil now,
a lot of them.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, the bull riders.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
I don't know about the roping and all the other stuff,
but Teresia, you've got some history at the rodeos.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Yeah, When the Travis County Show radio would come through
back in the day, my uncles worked the shoots for
the event and they'd get me in the back, and
I'd hang out back there with the animals and the cowboys.
And then when the rodeo is over, you know, they
roll that round, spinning stage out into the middle of

(05:55):
the arena and then I would sit and I take
friends and we would sit on the shoot the doors
that they would open to let the animals out, the
bulls and stuff.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
We'd sit on the.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
Shoots and watch the show like down in the arena.
It was so much fun, so much Oh in my so.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
My my sister's son, his daughter. So what's that my
great niece. Yeah, I think my nephew's daughter. She did
the mutton busting, which is a few thet damn things
you'll ever see in your life. Did it? Yeah? You know,
three to five year olds hanging on to sheep. Oh

(06:32):
my gosh, that is so entertaining, so hilarious too. And
you know, if you've seen it, you'll know what I'm
talking about. Is those little kids when they get bucked
off the sheep, they lay there like their dad, parent
picks them up until you know, either one of the
the the bullfighters or workers comes and picks them up

(06:55):
or a parent. They just lay there and don't move
every time. That's like it's like they're assessing the damage.
They don't know if they're injured or not. They don't
know if they want to laugh or cry. Is the
Did the rodeo wrap up this weekend? Or is it
next weekend too? Do you know?

Speaker 2 (07:15):
No?

Speaker 3 (07:15):
I think it was just the sweekend. It looked like
it was a big success. Seemed to go very very well.
A lot of fun. That's cool. That's cool that you
got out.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
It's one of those things that you get out to
and you're like, why haven't I done this more often?

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Right? So that's cool. I know we're all such creatures
of habit. Just go do something different. Yeah, how much
was the hat more than two hundred? No, it was
just under two hundred. Hat.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
That's another hat, Sandy. Huh, you're going to get another hat?

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Well, he definitely has to get a customed. They don't
the rack hat for him.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
I need a straw one. I've got a felt one.
I need a straw one. So I was just wondering. Yeah,
I just wondering, just wondering. Tuh, don't worry about it,
you worry about yourself.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
All right, I'll get I'll take getting pictures of you
in random hats, and you'll be asking me for my opinion.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
Come you're right.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Coming up next, a woman asked me to watch her
three year old son. Well, she went to the bathroom
at the airport, which I did. But then when she
came back, I asked her why she picked me, and
she was very specific as to why she picked me.
I'll tell you what it was that made her pick me.
Coming up next. This has never happened to me before.

(08:33):
A woman at the airport. So I traveled over the weekend.
I was in Nebraska all last week with my seeing
my parents and my sister and stuff.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
And I came home on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I'm sitting in the Dallas airport and in the lobby
at the gate there waiting for the flight and everything,
and there's a woman sitting across from me and a
little boy sitting next to her, and we're sitting there
for probably thirty forty minutes, and she at one point
just kind of leans over to me and says, excuse me,
would you mind keeping an eye on him while I

(09:03):
run to the bathroom. I'm like, sure, no problem. And
I was like, hey, dude, what's your name? I go,
my name is Sandy. What's yours? He goes Lyle, and
I'm like, h Lyle, nice to meet you. A little dude,
three year old named Lyle. I just thought that was.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah exactly, and he was he was funny. He was watching.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Something to do with Sharks on his phone because he's
held his phone up to me and goes, I can't
believe the shark did it again. I was like really,
So that was about it as far as conversation with Lyle.
So his mom, you know that mom's in a jam there.
She's got to go to the bathroom. She's got three
year old boys. She don't want to take boy and
bags and all that stuff to the bathroom at the airport.

(09:50):
So she asked me if I would keep an eye
on him while she went to the bathroom, and I
said sure.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
We sat there.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
She comes back, she said, she's like, thank you very much.
I'm like, I no problem, okay, I ask you a
question though. She goes, yeah, I go, there's several other
people here. There's women here that look like moms.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
And you think she would pick a woman? Yeah? Yeah, right,
I said, why did you ask me? I said, I'm happy.
I was happy to do it. But why me? Why
did you pick me? What do you think, she said, Tricia.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
Because you're a big, giant guy, and nobody's taken that
baby away from you.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
Something happens. That's my first guess.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
What do you think? She said? Maybe she thought the
boy would be more comfortable with you.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Maybe, But the first thing she said is I saw
your wedding ring. She was like, woh, She's like, I
saw you were wearing a wedding ring. You look about
like the age of someone that would have kids. And
then she also said you dress nice and you had
nice shoes on.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
What she said, and I.

Speaker 6 (10:54):
Was like a big player with girls. I'm just telling
You've always said that.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Right, But the wedding band that that's what I think.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
That was the first thing she said, so clearly that
was the biggest thing that she said. That was, you know,
made her feel comfortable in asking a complete stranger play concert. Yeah,
we need to get into that a little bit a
little bit later.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
On, but that's pretty cool, Like, yeah, that's yeah, that's
a that's a tough ask.

Speaker 6 (11:27):
It's a huge compliment too.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
I mean, yeah, I thought so it was nice that
she you know, she trusted me. She probably, like you said,
probably realized that no one you know, would be very
dangerous to try to come take the child if I was.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Sitting there right, So what would you have done if,
like the kid took off running, Yeah, ran with him.
I was not going to let that woman mount.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
I was going to smatch her, lyle up by his
branches and carry him back.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Then I tell the kid's a pain in the ass.
But we live in this era of pranks to go viral. Yeah,
that could be a prank where they some mom sets
it up and then the kid and then they tell
they instructed the kid to just take off running and
watching to see what you do. Completely a setup for

(12:17):
a prank. Boy, that would have been bad because I
had chased the kid, you know what I mean. I
wasn't gonna let the kid get away from me at
the airport.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
But I don't know. It was just kind of a weird,
weird situation. I also have an idea. We were talking
earlier about our coloring book, JB. But I think we
need to create a YouTube series. It's called travel College,
where you teach people how to travel on an airplane correctly.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
How to act right right, every step of the way.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
The video walks you through how to do it all
the way to getting your luggage and leaving. You know
what I mean, How to not block the aisle. To
know that a big step for me. The most important
one would be just because you stood up first when
the plane has landed doesn't mean you get to ramp right.

(13:15):
It's still everyone exits in order. And when people do that,
oh boy, that, oh dude, I jump into the aisle
to prevent it from happening.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
To block.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Always always get an aisle seat. And as soon as
the thing seat belts off and I'm in the middle
of the aisle, no one's getting by.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah, and I'll do it, and I'll put my arms
out on both sides. Yeah, And then I'll back up
and let anyone else because I always take an aisle seat. Yeah,
you know, I make sure no one's going to do
the dart up the lane. But then I back up
and I'll let everyone out on both sides. And you
can hear the people behind me just like.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Oh, you understand how it works by now. My biggest
one will be baggage claim. Freaking step back and don't
block baggage claim. Step forward. When you see your bag. Well,
I don't understand.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Don't have to be touching the carousel.

Speaker 6 (14:01):
Yes, that makes me asane.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
One lesson that would be in the in the video
series I experienced yesterday is that I would explain to
everyone while boarding the aircraft and going row by row,
it's a numerical system. Do not have to stop and

(14:25):
look at every row to see what number it is?
Five comes after four, and then after five is six,
and then not seven, eight, not.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
You know what I mean. It's like, oh my gosh,
stop at every row and let your ticket.

Speaker 6 (14:43):
You don't got to crack the code people, You just
got to count.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
It's a numerical system, very very simple to do. Anyway,
that would be a fun, very wise smart ankle video
series to do for people to worry.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Oh. I would add to it that you've got to
have a chapter on if you are in one of
the latter sections of boarding, like let's say a group
five or five or later, don't assume you can use
the overhead true' if you know you're going to be
in a later group, just check your bag. Yeah, true.

(15:21):
Checking at the gate it's free. Yeah. Some people that
are trying they're getting on. They're one of the last
ones on and everything's closed and they start opening them
like everything's full. They closed it because it's full.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
People not know that, do you guys get irritated.

Speaker 6 (15:36):
I don't know why. It bothers me out and if
it's an okay thing or not.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
When people who are going to the back of the
plane put their luggage at the front, like oh, instead
of taking their luggage yeah, and fill it up, so
then people who are sitting in those seats up front
no longer have spots.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Then they need to move. Yeah, there's stuff farther back.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Then they're swimming upstream to get to their bags the
end of the flight, right right. It's ridiculous anyway, people
don't But we can. We can work on that. We
can work on our coloring book. We can get a
lot of things we can we can we can work on.
