💡 Key Themes & Moments:
- Life Advice from the Other Side of 30: JB and Sandy reflect on the biggest lessons they’d pass on to the next generation—from the power of compound interest to the myth that relationships should be hard. “If it’s the right person, it’s not that hard,” JB says. “It’s just… nice.”
- Tricia’s Full-Circle Moment: Once a loyal listener who entered a contest to join the show, Tricia shares what it’s like to now co-host with the guys she used to wake up to on the radio. “It’s weird… but fun,” she laughs.
- Texas Driving Culture: A Reddit post sparks a spirited discussion about the unwritten rules of Texas roads. Spoiler: the speed limit is just a suggestion.
- Nicknames, Nostalgia & Big Heads: From “Bucky” and “Blocko” to the decline of childhood nicknames, the crew dives into how growing up has changed—and how some things (like giant football helmets) never do.
- Ron Popeil Rabbit Hole: The gang goes deep on the legendary infomercial king, his wild inventions (hello, Pocket Fisherman and Cap Snaffler), and the legacy of “Set it and forget it.”
- “Given the choice between lonely and miserable, I’ll take lonely every time.”
- “Don’t be afraid to do hard things. You can do so much more than you think.”
- “There’s no way to look cool on a Lime scooter. None.”

Streaming on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty
station one oh three point one.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
We've got the day off, but we hope you enjoyed
this from earlier this year. If you're listening now, you're
just in time because you are about to get little
nuggets of knowledge from JB and Sandy. Tricia, you listen
up too, I'll listen. This is UH. Someone posted this
on Reddit, and I found it interesting that it's under
(00:31):
the ask men advice thread on Reddit. If you're curious.
It says, to all mature men thirty plus, please name
one mistake you made in your life so a young
man may never repeat it. It can be anything, save
a young brother, so you can change that from mistake
you made to advice you would give legit. JB, you
(00:54):
said that a couple immediately came to mind for you.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yes, two things came to mind immediately.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
I do have a twenty three year old daughter and
I have talked to her about these exact things. And
you know, and if it was a young man, I
would say the same thing. The first one is and
I send these little short clips to my daughter. The
power of compounding interest. Yes, yeah, it's like she's twenty three,
(01:20):
and I'm like, if you so, if you start putting
away one hundred dollars a month at age eighteen, let's say,
since I'm talking to some other young man, it's ridiculous
what that becomes by the time you're in your forties.
By the time you're in your forties, it doesn't sound possible, right,
it will be over a million dollars. Yeah, it's ridiculous, Like,
(01:45):
and that's not even you know, four oh one k protected.
And so you know, fortunately I put some money away
from my daughter when she was born, and it's accumulated
and I show her, you know, look what it's. This
is what it's become. And you didn't even know you
had it. And luckily she hasn't doesn't even know how
to get it because I had to hand it over
when she's twenty one, and it's just so powerful. I'm like,
(02:10):
you're not going to miss that one hundred dollars a month, right,
that's one night out with your buddies, goofing around.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
They should have been teaching that in high school instead
of how to sign and fill out checks in your
check book. Just that I clearly remember being taught in
high school.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
There how to properly address an envelope right, how to
write a business letter?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Really, more life skills, more life skills.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
That's other one thing.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yeah, the other thing I would say to a young dude.
And I've said this to my daughter. And because it
took me a long time to learn this, like when
I was in my late teens early twenties, I made
the assumption that relationships are really hard and take a
lot of work. When it's the right person, it does
(03:01):
not take that much work. It's just it's like, you know,
and it's and I also said to you know, I've
said to her, it's like, you know, sometimes just two people.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Are just toxic to each other and you don't even
know why. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
And then when you're in the right relationship, you're like,
well this is easy.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah. Why did I do that other thing? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
And then and then the second part of that is,
did you when you were young, Sandy, did you from
a girl? Did you ever get that I don't want
to waste my time? Oh yeah, get that speech a lot,
I get it now.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I wasted a lot of their time, at least wasted
a lot of my own time when this isn't going
to work.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It shouldn't be this hard.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
I think girls get to that. I don't want to
waste my time mark way before it guys.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Oh, absolutely sure.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
So I think that's why it's such a big player
in the breakup relationship.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yeah, because guys, we're stupid. We're like, oh, we're wasting time?
Is that what I am? Just a waste of times?
Like we can't handle it. We're such idiots.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Mine. Mine kind of feeds into yours. JB and uh,
I think our job. Our friend John Correoth said this
to me once. He said, but because he's been he's
a bachelor's bachelor man, he's always been single. And he said,
given the choice between lonely and miserable, I'll take it
(04:24):
lonely every time.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And that is that.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Movie once. It was. Yeah, it is one hundred percent
true that if you are faced with being lonely or
miserable with someone else, take the lonely because it's way
better than the miserable.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
It applies to girls too.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
I have friends who will be in a miserable relationship.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Just so there's a guy with them.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
They would rather be with any guy than to just
be alone.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I was never like that, but it makes no sense
to me a kid.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Right, I'd also say to a young person, and not
that I'm an alien, health, but take care of your body. Exercise,
do something. Don't go a decade without exercise something.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
It does happen, It can happen easily.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Take care of your body from the to you only get.
You know, sounds so sappy, and but you only get
one of these, and so take care of it. You know,
don't overeat, exercise, don't smoke, don't drink too much. Just
you can live a happy life without all those, you know,
by being healthy.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
So do you notice that the older we get all
of those sayings that when we were young, older people
told us that when we just roll our eyes at.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
They're all true.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Can you imagine, like I know you guys have been
working hard at it. We have in our house too.
Can you imagine if you ate the way we do
now when you were in your mid twenties.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Oh my god, yeah, would.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Be amazing, right, Oh my god, would be amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I'll add one more, just for fun.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
And my daughter has really taken this one to heart,
because I think she's just wired this way, and I say,
travel while you're young. Yep, yeah, it's like you just
I was so obsessed with working and you know, moving
up the ladder and you know, getting industry recognition, and
it's like you wake up your forty and you haven't
(06:26):
gone anywhere, right, It can happened really fast. She's been
good about that. She went to New Zealand a couple
of years ago. She's going to Iceland next month. She's
then she's talking about a trip to Japan in the fall.
I'm like, it's amazing.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Yeah, you'll never regret spending your dollars on travel.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I don't think there was.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I'm trying to fight there's no way to find in
Instagram your history of what you sent to someone, right
and look it through Instagram right now, like like you'd
like if you have an email, you have a scent box,
But on Instagram, I think it should be in there.
If you go to that, maybe your activity. Maybe I
found something I send and I really really try to
(07:10):
hear this. I did find it. I really try to
regulate myself and not overdo it with my daughter, our
daughter on sending her different videos and stuff that I
see on Instagram. But I do do it. And I
sent her one recently and it was just a picture
and I had some music playing on it, and it
(07:30):
basically said, maturity is when you realize that your dad
wasn't being an a hole when he when he told
you this, or that, he just wanted you to be
better than all the other lazy bums that are out there.
Something like that, Right, it was something like that. But yeah,
I mean, don't want I agree, travel, but also put
(07:52):
it in hard work. Don't be afraid to do hard things.
I say that to my daughter all the time. Do
not be afraid to do hard things. You can do
so much more than you even dream of.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Right hard, just because it's hard doesn't mean you can't
do it or shouldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Right, try it. Don't be afraid to do hard things.
I would tell that to a young person too. Whatever
it is that you think is hard, you can probably
do it. It may take some work, but you're going
to get there eventually.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Many don't we sound wise?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
We are wise, Jabie.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
We were twenty two.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
If if there's a twenty two year old listening to us,
going shut up, when.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
They're in their fifties, they're going to go those dudes
were right.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Yeah, those guys on the right, they're gonna sit back
there and go damn. I wish i'd put one hundred
dollars a month away, like old JB told you.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
If there's a young person, you're not going to miss
that hundred dollars a month, trust me. Put it away
and just put it in an index fund. If you
don't know what an index fund is, just go to
an investment and they'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's so easy.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Just look it up.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
I'll just give you. I'll give you a good app.
It's not an ad or one. It's just one I
was showing my daughter. It's called betterment. It just drafts.
Like drafts, you draft a regular amount every month, and
then you tell them the level of risk that you want.
Just a conservative fund, an SMP fund. You'll be fine.
(09:18):
Just forget it, set it and forget it. I wish
I started that at eighteen ron po peel set.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
It, forget it right? Why do I have that information
in my head?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
What was the product?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
What was it? You said it and you forget it.
It was like an oven, right cooking something.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
It wasn't a pocket fisherman oh Man.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I watched too much TV on Saturdays.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
We got we can't move on from this. This is
like I gotta not forget it. Was the Ronco Rotisseri. Yes, golly,
set it and forget it.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh man, I wonder what ron He died in twenty
twenty one.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
He died at the age of eighty six. He sold
a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I wonder what his net worth was like when he passed.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Oh yeah, I'll find out.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Hang on the pocket fishermen man. That was a good one. Yeah, Oh,
hold on, what else did he invent?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Two hundred million?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yes, wow, he's a marketing school.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
And that's a long time ago. So that two hundred
million on.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Now.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
He died in twenty twenty one, not more recent than
I thought. Interesting, pocket fishermen, the rotisserie thing. We're kind
of learning something here.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Here we go. Here's his gadgets. The chop Omatic, a
hand powered chopper that dice vegetables, the vegiomatic, hit.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
A lot of amatics.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yeah, he had the We talked about the rotissary. He
talked about the pocket Fisherman. He had a smokeless ash tray,
a battery app rate device to reduce secondhand smoke. He
also He also all you karaoke people out there, Ron
Pope Hill is who you can think for mister microphone.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, no kidding, Yeah, the hey good looking. We'll be
back to pick you up later.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah, my god, here's something interesting. We're going down a
rabbit hole here. Yeah, he was. He was married first
to Marylyn nineteen fifty six to nineteen sixty three. She
didn't get to see well when she was married to him.
She probably was like, this guy's an idiot. This is
going minute nowhere. It's like, Ron, you're not going to
(11:31):
get rich inventing things to.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
And then the next His next spouse was nineteen ninety
five till he passed, and she's sitting on a two
hundred billion you single a.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
While, he invented the inside the eggshell egg.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Scrambler, the eggs a little scrambler in it.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Because scrambling eggs is so hard. It's so much easier
inside eggs.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
He's got another omadic if you want to hear it. Yeah,
he's got the dial Omatic, a slicing machine for precise
cuts of meats, cheeses, and vegetables. And here's probably my
favorite rompo pile have mentioned the cap Snaffler, a bottle
opener that caught caps to prevent them from falling.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Snaffler Snaffler. Wow, Shannon po Peel, she just became really hot. Yeah,
Oh Kitty. He's got a couple.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
More Omadics on there too, Sandy Thematic and the Whippo Mattic.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Oh you got a better Omennic list than I did. Yeah,
the king of direct marketing. He knew what he was doing,
he'd get out there. That was really the first info Marshal,
wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:39):
And then came the guys who could set the car
on fire and it didn't mess up the paint.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I was mesmerized by that one too.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Then he got the guy selling the pillows. That guy's
about annoying.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I think he went.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Now he's still advertising I thing.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Well, you know that the oxy clean pitch man's a
friend of mine? Of course he is it really Yeah,
at least Sully Anthony Sullivan, he's a good friend of mine.
Is that all he does? JB is oxy cleen zeus. No,
he does other stuff. In fact, he doesn't own oxy clean.
He is the hired pitch man. He's been doing it forever.
His partner did it. Originally, but he he not only
(13:17):
still is the voice of Oxy Clean, but he uh.
It's kind of a cool story. He has a daughter
with some some challenges and and he saw that CBD
really helped her, and so he decided to become a
CBD HMP farmer in Vermont and made a reality show
(13:39):
out of it. It's on Vice TV if you get Vice.
It's pretty fascinating.

What three point one. Hey, if you want to win
a thousand dollars, be listening at nine o'clock. That's your
first chance. Today it's coming up at nine on Austin's
eighties station one three point one. We've got the day off,
but we hope you enjoyed this from earlier this year. First,
is this whole thing weird for you? Like doing the
(17:53):
radio show with your husband and JB?
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Yes, it's weird because I started as a listener twenty
something years ago, Like right, just woke up, y'all went
off to the alarm on my alarm clock radio, and
I would lay in bed and listen to y'all listen
to while I got dressed, while I drove it to work.
And so yeah, it's sometimes I'm like I can't believe
(18:17):
now I'm talking with you guys, it's weird. Were you
ever one one?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Were you ever one of those listeners that would complain
if we said something wrong?
Speaker 12 (18:25):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Never, Or we're on vacation for too long? Remember, we'd
get all this kind Yeah we're taking vacation.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It was like, yeah, maybe I'll talk it about it.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Yeah, oh well, days gone by? Uh what are you
gonna say, Tea.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
No, I was gonna say. What makes it even weirder?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Is that? What?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I don't know?
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Twenty years ago, y'all were looking for a sidekick, a
third person, and I entered the contest. It was literally
a contest at that time, and I made it to
like the top five to do to win the contest,
to do what I'm doing with you guys right now.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It's like I just went on that like a twenty
year cycle to get that job.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
You remember the guy that videoed himself sitting on a
toilet in the back of a picup driving around town
waving everybody.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
That was his audition tape.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yeah, forgot. I wonder what he's doing now. I'm guessing
not much he put.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
If this really cute see music to it?
Speaker 4 (19:21):
I can't remember what I can hear that song in
my head, but I don't know what it is, and
he was just sitting on a toilet waving to people.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
You know what's funny, though, Tristian, knowing you now being
married for seventeen years now and together for over twenty years,
I can't fathom how nervous you were leading up to that.
How antsy you must have been, like when you entered
the contest and when you were going to hear something,
and then you got the call, and then just knowing
you now, it's like you must have been a bundle
of mess.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I was really nervous, but.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
It's you know, my huge phobia is standing up in
front of giant crowds and talking.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
That makes me feel like I'm gonna poot my pants.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
But talking on the radio or just talking to a
couple of guys, like my level of nerves that at
that time when I had to go in an audition
with y'all was not what it definitely could have been.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
I just felt kind of comfortable doing it. I definitely
was nervous, but it wasn't freaking out all right?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
And were you just crushed when you didn't get it?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yes, I was so sad.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
The package you guys have put together was incredible, Like
you got to drive a dealership sponsored car for a
year for free. All I mean, y'all have a free
apartment too or something. Yeah, it was like a free apartment.
It was this great salary, like it was a big deal.
It would have been amazing to win. It was so
sad when I didn't get it.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Well, you ended up with the big prize.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, you right, you me.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I listened to this. This is a riddit post I
think you'll get a kick out of. And keep in mind,
there's so many people that have moved to Texas in
the last few years, and there's people moving here every
single day, and there's some stuff you got to get
used to when you move to Texas, and this is
one of them. This was on Reddit. Did I recently
moved to Texas and I've been driving the speed limit,
(21:09):
but everyone on the road drives at least fifteen to
twenty miles above the speed limit. Is this a Texas thing?
I never see cops enforcing speed limit in and around Austin.
Answer your question, Yes, yes, it's a Texas thing. The
posted speed limit is a mere suggestion for you.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Though I think it got taken to a new level
when we started adding more toll roads. Because I don't
quote me on this, but like they the police don't
have jurisdiction to write speeding tickets on a toll road.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
It's my understanding, which.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Is part of the reason you see people going in
one hundred on one, is that the one out to
the airport.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah, that's not a lot. That's lawlessness out there. Yeah,
it is the wild West. You can do one hundred
and thirty and nobody cares.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
I don't think I've ever seen anybody pulled over. It
only lights i've seen or for res from people going
so fast.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Not for speeding.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Yeah, but driving in Austin. If you're freaking out, you're
new to Austin and you think people are driving fast,
I'd recommend you stay out of Houston.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
It's on another level in Houston. As soon as you
get into like Katie on your way in, it's just
like what happened. The intensity goes way up and it's
more lanes and they're all going really fast.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
It's like somebody drop the go flag. It's like you're
in a race. It's just flag. Yeah, it's terrifying.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I don't know what it is with Houston, but I
don't go to Houston that often, but it seems like
every time I do go to Houston, not only are
people driving fast, but also there's always a guy on
a motorcycle doing a wheelie on the highway. I'm not kidding.
I've seen it times, just a guy doing wheelies on
(23:03):
the on the highway.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
We're getting we're getting more of that kind of culture
here in Austin as of late, I see more and
more of that.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
You see it and you're part of the town. Like
South Congress rightfle.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Doing wheelies up and down South Congress. And a lot
of young guys on the the e motos. They're really motorcycles,
but they're electric, oh okay, and they can do wheelies
on those.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Oh man, can you imagine having one of those.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
I saw some kids buzzing around on it and they're fast,
and I was like, God, what a what a fun
thing to grow up with. Now these these kids are
getting on these electric motorcycles basically buzzing around the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah, having a blast like that would have been so fun.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
That was my big will the bikes and I see
a lot of kids on e bikes and I'm going
to tell you ninety nine percent of them. I look
at him and go, you might want to get on
a real bike the exercise, Yeah, just to get the exercise.
I mean, it's it's weird. But you said something about
(24:04):
about South Congress and the motorcycle scene that's down there.
It's growing, right.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Yeah, you'll see a lot more of these, like little
meet up rides, whether it's dirt bikes and they're doing
wheelies all through town, or you'll see some with the quads,
you know, the four wheelers, Yeah, buzzing around like a.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Lot of that. The three wheeler really interests me because
it's kind of like they want to do something. They
don't want a car. They want four wheels, but I
can't handle two. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go with three,
like the.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Can AM's where it's one wheel in the back.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Yes.
Speaker 13 (24:44):
Yeah, those always have those always have over the top
stereos that they're hilary like you would on a boat,
but they're doing it on those three wheelers.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Yeah. I see a lot of those too. And kind
of my last thought on this is the scooters, the
Lime scooters, and stuff that are all over town. Let
me tell you so there. Yeah, there is absolutely no
way in the world to look cool on one.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
People who yeah, they think they're really cool. Yeah yeah, No,

Speaker 2 (30:10):
This is The JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighties
station one oh three point one text us at seven
three seven three zero one ninety six hundred.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
We've got the day off, but we hope you enjoyed
this from earlier this year. All Right, there's really no
scientific proof to this. It's really just an observation by
someone that writes for the Wall Street Journal. There's a
guy that writes for the Wall Street Journal, and he's
got five kids, and it kind of surprised him that
none of his kids or their friends had any nicknames
(30:44):
for each other. And it made him wonder if nicknames
were going the way of the dinosaur, just on the decline,
like no one has a nickname anymore, you know, like
calling your buddy from Austin, calling them texts, you know
what I mean? Or you know they can't. Maybe it's
PC or people get triggered, whatever the hell word it
(31:07):
is nowadays when you're when you're little heavy set, buddy
called him tiny, kind of kind of going away.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
But I had growing up, Yeah, through middle school at
least it was Bucky was my nickname because I had
a really bad buck teeth and then I got him fixed.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
But that had to sting a little bit didn't it.
Speaker 14 (31:30):
I guess I just rolled with it. You don't have
much choice. Yeah, I kind of remember. I had a
bad one in high school. It was both blockhead and
block oh.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Then that got shortened to block oh because those dumb
idiots couldn't remember blockhead or spell. But because I have
a very I guess I still have a big head,
I mean bald, square head, and mailbox. They tried to
call me mailbox two for a while. They had to
(32:02):
go to It was funny in high school playing football
when I was a sophomore, they had to go to
the University of I was in Nebraska. I had to
go to the University of Nebraska and get a helmet
from the university to fit my head in high school.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
In high school, did the local news do a future.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
They thought. I think they thought there was something wrong
with me.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
But hey, whatever, young man, Blocko just wants to play.
But there's one thing preventing it. They don't make any
helmets size.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
That's like when Shaq then steps in and buys you
a giant helmet, like you buyt giant shoes for kids.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
He's done that several times. Kids, You like size twenty
six foot? He buys them, buys some shoes, right Tristan
to girls like our our daughter runs with the crew.
They kind of they don't really go by nicknames, but
they go by last name, well.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Because they're an ROTC and they're all called by their
last name in ROTC.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
But there was a while that it wasn't that her
crew had nicknames.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
It was that they had different names, like whatever their
actual first name was they had. Remember when you were
a kid and you're like, I wish my name was this,
and you'd ask your parents to call you by a
different name and they'd say, nope, my name's Jatricia.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
That's what we're calling you.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Well, they used whatever names they really wanted at school
and not their actual real names. But it wasn't really
a nickname back when we were kids' nicknames, Like you
were saying, we're kind of rooted in being mean antagonizing
a little bit, and you just can't get away with
that anymore.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
But that's what made them funny.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
But you know what, though, what's funny, as I say nicknames,
is that Sandy, which I've always gone by, is a
is the real nickname for Alexander, just like Bob is
for Robert, and Bill is for William, and Dick is
for Richard.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
Yeah, there's a lot of nicknames for Alexander, right, I guess,
so Zander, alex alex It's a few.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
That I can think of. But my other I have
a theory that there are no men left under the
age of fifty named Dick.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
It's just, you know, I know one guy and he's
worth a fortune. He lives in LA that I met.
I met him at south By one year and it
was like, you know, maybe I'm like, you know many
people that go by Dick anymore?
Speaker 1 (34:25):
And he goes, that's why I go by it, he goes,
It's it's very memorable.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Yeah. I have an uncle and he was Uncle Dick.
And I had a cousin who was
Streaming on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty
station one oh three point one.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
We've got the day off, but we hope you enjoyed
this from earlier this year. If you're listening now, you're
just in time because you are about to get little
nuggets of knowledge from JB and Sandy. Tricia, you listen
up too, I'll listen. This is UH. Someone posted this
on Reddit, and I found it interesting that it's under
(00:31):
the ask men advice thread on Reddit. If you're curious.
It says, to all mature men thirty plus, please name
one mistake you made in your life so a young
man may never repeat it. It can be anything, save
a young brother, so you can change that from mistake
you made to advice you would give legit. JB, you
(00:54):
said that a couple immediately came to mind for you.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yes, two things came to mind immediately.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
I do have a twenty three year old daughter and
I have talked to her about these exact things. And
you know, and if it was a young man, I
would say the same thing. The first one is and
I send these little short clips to my daughter. The
power of compounding interest. Yes, yeah, it's like she's twenty three,
(01:20):
and I'm like, if you so, if you start putting
away one hundred dollars a month at age eighteen, let's say,
since I'm talking to some other young man, it's ridiculous
what that becomes by the time you're in your forties.
By the time you're in your forties, it doesn't sound possible, right,
it will be over a million dollars. Yeah, it's ridiculous, Like,
(01:45):
and that's not even you know, four oh one k protected.
And so you know, fortunately I put some money away
from my daughter when she was born, and it's accumulated
and I show her, you know, look what it's. This
is what it's become. And you didn't even know you
had it. And luckily she hasn't doesn't even know how
to get it because I had to hand it over
when she's twenty one, and it's just so powerful. I'm like,
(02:10):
you're not going to miss that one hundred dollars a month, right,
that's one night out with your buddies, goofing around.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
They should have been teaching that in high school instead
of how to sign and fill out checks in your
check book. Just that I clearly remember being taught in
high school.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
There how to properly address an envelope right, how to
write a business letter?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Really, more life skills, more life skills.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
That's other one thing.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yeah, the other thing I would say to a young dude.
And I've said this to my daughter. And because it
took me a long time to learn this, like when
I was in my late teens early twenties, I made
the assumption that relationships are really hard and take a
lot of work. When it's the right person, it does
(03:01):
not take that much work. It's just it's like, you know,
and it's and I also said to you know, I've
said to her, it's like, you know, sometimes just two people.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Are just toxic to each other and you don't even
know why. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
And then when you're in the right relationship, you're like,
well this is easy.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah. Why did I do that other thing? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:22):
And then and then the second part of that is,
did you when you were young, Sandy, did you from
a girl? Did you ever get that I don't want
to waste my time? Oh yeah, get that speech a lot,
I get it now.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
I wasted a lot of their time, at least wasted
a lot of my own time when this isn't going
to work.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It shouldn't be this hard.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
I think girls get to that. I don't want to
waste my time mark way before it guys.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Oh, absolutely sure.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
So I think that's why it's such a big player
in the breakup relationship.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yeah, because guys, we're stupid. We're like, oh, we're wasting time?
Is that what I am? Just a waste of times?
Like we can't handle it. We're such idiots.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Mine. Mine kind of feeds into yours. JB and uh,
I think our job. Our friend John Correoth said this
to me once. He said, but because he's been he's
a bachelor's bachelor man, he's always been single. And he said,
given the choice between lonely and miserable, I'll take it
(04:24):
lonely every time.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And that is that.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Movie once. It was. Yeah, it is one hundred percent
true that if you are faced with being lonely or
miserable with someone else, take the lonely because it's way
better than the miserable.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
It applies to girls too.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
I have friends who will be in a miserable relationship.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Just so there's a guy with them.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
They would rather be with any guy than to just
be alone.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I was never like that, but it makes no sense
to me a kid.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Right, I'd also say to a young person, and not
that I'm an alien, health, but take care of your body. Exercise,
do something. Don't go a decade without exercise something.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
It does happen, It can happen easily.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Take care of your body from the to you only get.
You know, sounds so sappy, and but you only get
one of these, and so take care of it. You know,
don't overeat, exercise, don't smoke, don't drink too much. Just
you can live a happy life without all those, you know,
by being healthy.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
So do you notice that the older we get all
of those sayings that when we were young, older people
told us that when we just roll our eyes at.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
They're all true.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Can you imagine, like I know you guys have been
working hard at it. We have in our house too.
Can you imagine if you ate the way we do
now when you were in your mid twenties.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Oh my god, yeah, would.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Be amazing, right, Oh my god, would be amazing.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
I'll add one more, just for fun.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
And my daughter has really taken this one to heart,
because I think she's just wired this way, and I say,
travel while you're young. Yep, yeah, it's like you just
I was so obsessed with working and you know, moving
up the ladder and you know, getting industry recognition, and
it's like you wake up your forty and you haven't
(06:26):
gone anywhere, right, It can happened really fast. She's been
good about that. She went to New Zealand a couple
of years ago. She's going to Iceland next month. She's
then she's talking about a trip to Japan in the fall.
I'm like, it's amazing.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Yeah, you'll never regret spending your dollars on travel.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I don't think there was.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I'm trying to fight there's no way to find in
Instagram your history of what you sent to someone, right
and look it through Instagram right now, like like you'd
like if you have an email, you have a scent box,
But on Instagram, I think it should be in there.
If you go to that, maybe your activity. Maybe I
found something I send and I really really try to
(07:10):
hear this. I did find it. I really try to
regulate myself and not overdo it with my daughter, our
daughter on sending her different videos and stuff that I
see on Instagram. But I do do it. And I
sent her one recently and it was just a picture
and I had some music playing on it, and it
(07:30):
basically said, maturity is when you realize that your dad
wasn't being an a hole when he when he told
you this, or that, he just wanted you to be
better than all the other lazy bums that are out there.
Something like that, Right, it was something like that. But yeah,
I mean, don't want I agree, travel, but also put
(07:52):
it in hard work. Don't be afraid to do hard things.
I say that to my daughter all the time. Do
not be afraid to do hard things. You can do
so much more than you even dream of.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Right hard, just because it's hard doesn't mean you can't
do it or shouldn't do it.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Right, try it. Don't be afraid to do hard things.
I would tell that to a young person too. Whatever
it is that you think is hard, you can probably
do it. It may take some work, but you're going
to get there eventually.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Many don't we sound wise?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
We are wise, Jabie.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
We were twenty two.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
If if there's a twenty two year old listening to us,
going shut up, when.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
They're in their fifties, they're going to go those dudes
were right.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Yeah, those guys on the right, they're gonna sit back
there and go damn. I wish i'd put one hundred
dollars a month away, like old JB told you.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
If there's a young person, you're not going to miss
that hundred dollars a month, trust me. Put it away
and just put it in an index fund. If you
don't know what an index fund is, just go to
an investment and they'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's so easy.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Just look it up.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
I'll just give you. I'll give you a good app.
It's not an ad or one. It's just one I
was showing my daughter. It's called betterment. It just drafts.
Like drafts, you draft a regular amount every month, and
then you tell them the level of risk that you want.
Just a conservative fund, an SMP fund. You'll be fine.
(09:18):
Just forget it, set it and forget it. I wish
I started that at eighteen ron po peel set.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
It, forget it right? Why do I have that information
in my head?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
What was the product?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
What was it? You said it and you forget it.
It was like an oven, right cooking something.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
It wasn't a pocket fisherman oh Man.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I watched too much TV on Saturdays.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
We got we can't move on from this. This is
like I gotta not forget it. Was the Ronco Rotisseri. Yes, golly,
set it and forget it.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh man, I wonder what ron He died in twenty
twenty one.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
He died at the age of eighty six. He sold
a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I wonder what his net worth was like when he passed.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Oh yeah, I'll find out.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Hang on the pocket fishermen man. That was a good one. Yeah, Oh,
hold on, what else did he invent?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Two hundred million?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yes, wow, he's a marketing school.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
And that's a long time ago. So that two hundred
million on.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Now.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
He died in twenty twenty one, not more recent than
I thought. Interesting, pocket fishermen, the rotisserie thing. We're kind
of learning something here.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Here we go. Here's his gadgets. The chop Omatic, a
hand powered chopper that dice vegetables, the vegiomatic, hit.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
A lot of amatics.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yeah, he had the We talked about the rotissary. He
talked about the pocket Fisherman. He had a smokeless ash tray,
a battery app rate device to reduce secondhand smoke. He
also He also all you karaoke people out there, Ron
Pope Hill is who you can think for mister microphone.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, no kidding, Yeah, the hey good looking. We'll be
back to pick you up later.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah, my god, here's something interesting. We're going down a
rabbit hole here. Yeah, he was. He was married first
to Marylyn nineteen fifty six to nineteen sixty three. She
didn't get to see well when she was married to him.
She probably was like, this guy's an idiot. This is
going minute nowhere. It's like, Ron, you're not going to
(11:31):
get rich inventing things to.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
And then the next His next spouse was nineteen ninety
five till he passed, and she's sitting on a two
hundred billion you single a.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
While, he invented the inside the eggshell egg.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Scrambler, the eggs a little scrambler in it.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Because scrambling eggs is so hard. It's so much easier
inside eggs.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
He's got another omadic if you want to hear it. Yeah,
he's got the dial Omatic, a slicing machine for precise
cuts of meats, cheeses, and vegetables. And here's probably my
favorite rompo pile have mentioned the cap Snaffler, a bottle
opener that caught caps to prevent them from falling.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Snaffler Snaffler. Wow, Shannon po Peel, she just became really hot. Yeah,
Oh Kitty. He's got a couple.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
More Omadics on there too, Sandy Thematic and the Whippo Mattic.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Oh you got a better Omennic list than I did. Yeah,
the king of direct marketing. He knew what he was doing,
he'd get out there. That was really the first info Marshal,
wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:39):
And then came the guys who could set the car
on fire and it didn't mess up the paint.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I was mesmerized by that one too.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Then he got the guy selling the pillows. That guy's
about annoying.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
I think he went.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Now he's still advertising I thing.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Well, you know that the oxy clean pitch man's a
friend of mine? Of course he is it really Yeah,
at least Sully Anthony Sullivan, he's a good friend of mine.
Is that all he does? JB is oxy cleen zeus. No,
he does other stuff. In fact, he doesn't own oxy clean.
He is the hired pitch man. He's been doing it forever.
His partner did it. Originally, but he he not only
(13:17):
still is the voice of Oxy Clean, but he uh.
It's kind of a cool story. He has a daughter
with some some challenges and and he saw that CBD
really helped her, and so he decided to become a
CBD HMP farmer in Vermont and made a reality show
(13:39):
out of it. It's on Vice TV if you get Vice.
It's pretty fascinating.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
This is the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's Ady

It's the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighties station
What three point one. Hey, if you want to win
a thousand dollars, be listening at nine o'clock. That's your
first chance. Today it's coming up at nine on Austin's
eighties station one three point one. We've got the day off,
but we hope you enjoyed this from earlier this year. First,
is this whole thing weird for you? Like doing the
(17:53):
radio show with your husband and JB?
Speaker 5 (17:55):
Yes, it's weird because I started as a listener twenty
something years ago, Like right, just woke up, y'all went
off to the alarm on my alarm clock radio, and
I would lay in bed and listen to y'all listen
to while I got dressed, while I drove it to work.
And so yeah, it's sometimes I'm like I can't believe
(18:17):
now I'm talking with you guys, it's weird. Were you
ever one one?
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Were you ever one of those listeners that would complain
if we said something wrong?
Speaker 12 (18:25):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Never, Or we're on vacation for too long? Remember, we'd
get all this kind Yeah we're taking vacation.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
It was like, yeah, maybe I'll talk it about it.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Yeah, oh well, days gone by? Uh what are you
gonna say, Tea.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
No, I was gonna say. What makes it even weirder?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Is that? What?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I don't know?
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Twenty years ago, y'all were looking for a sidekick, a
third person, and I entered the contest. It was literally
a contest at that time, and I made it to
like the top five to do to win the contest,
to do what I'm doing with you guys right now.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It's like I just went on that like a twenty
year cycle to get that job.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
You remember the guy that videoed himself sitting on a
toilet in the back of a picup driving around town
waving everybody.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
That was his audition tape.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yeah, forgot. I wonder what he's doing now. I'm guessing
not much he put.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
If this really cute see music to it?
Speaker 4 (19:21):
I can't remember what I can hear that song in
my head, but I don't know what it is, and
he was just sitting on a toilet waving to people.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
You know what's funny, though, Tristian, knowing you now being
married for seventeen years now and together for over twenty years,
I can't fathom how nervous you were leading up to that.
How antsy you must have been, like when you entered
the contest and when you were going to hear something,
and then you got the call, and then just knowing
you now, it's like you must have been a bundle
of mess.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I was really nervous, but.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
It's you know, my huge phobia is standing up in
front of giant crowds and talking.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
That makes me feel like I'm gonna poot my pants.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
But talking on the radio or just talking to a
couple of guys, like my level of nerves that at
that time when I had to go in an audition
with y'all was not what it definitely could have been.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
I just felt kind of comfortable doing it. I definitely
was nervous, but it wasn't freaking out all right?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
And were you just crushed when you didn't get it?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yes, I was so sad.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
The package you guys have put together was incredible, Like
you got to drive a dealership sponsored car for a
year for free. All I mean, y'all have a free
apartment too or something. Yeah, it was like a free apartment.
It was this great salary, like it was a big deal.
It would have been amazing to win. It was so
sad when I didn't get it.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Well, you ended up with the big prize.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, you right, you me.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I listened to this. This is a riddit post I
think you'll get a kick out of. And keep in mind,
there's so many people that have moved to Texas in
the last few years, and there's people moving here every
single day, and there's some stuff you got to get
used to when you move to Texas, and this is
one of them. This was on Reddit. Did I recently
moved to Texas and I've been driving the speed limit,
(21:09):
but everyone on the road drives at least fifteen to
twenty miles above the speed limit. Is this a Texas thing?
I never see cops enforcing speed limit in and around Austin.
Answer your question, Yes, yes, it's a Texas thing. The
posted speed limit is a mere suggestion for you.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Though I think it got taken to a new level
when we started adding more toll roads. Because I don't
quote me on this, but like they the police don't
have jurisdiction to write speeding tickets on a toll road.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
It's my understanding, which.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Is part of the reason you see people going in
one hundred on one, is that the one out to
the airport.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah, that's not a lot. That's lawlessness out there. Yeah,
it is the wild West. You can do one hundred
and thirty and nobody cares.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
I don't think I've ever seen anybody pulled over. It
only lights i've seen or for res from people going
so fast.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Not for speeding.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Yeah, but driving in Austin. If you're freaking out, you're
new to Austin and you think people are driving fast,
I'd recommend you stay out of Houston.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
It's on another level in Houston. As soon as you
get into like Katie on your way in, it's just
like what happened. The intensity goes way up and it's
more lanes and they're all going really fast.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
It's like somebody drop the go flag. It's like you're
in a race. It's just flag. Yeah, it's terrifying.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I don't know what it is with Houston, but I
don't go to Houston that often, but it seems like
every time I do go to Houston, not only are
people driving fast, but also there's always a guy on
a motorcycle doing a wheelie on the highway. I'm not kidding.
I've seen it times, just a guy doing wheelies on
(23:03):
the on the highway.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
We're getting we're getting more of that kind of culture
here in Austin as of late, I see more and
more of that.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
You see it and you're part of the town. Like
South Congress rightfle.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Doing wheelies up and down South Congress. And a lot
of young guys on the the e motos. They're really motorcycles,
but they're electric, oh okay, and they can do wheelies
on those.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Oh man, can you imagine having one of those.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
I saw some kids buzzing around on it and they're fast,
and I was like, God, what a what a fun
thing to grow up with. Now these these kids are
getting on these electric motorcycles basically buzzing around the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah, having a blast like that would have been so fun.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
That was my big will the bikes and I see
a lot of kids on e bikes and I'm going
to tell you ninety nine percent of them. I look
at him and go, you might want to get on
a real bike the exercise, Yeah, just to get the exercise.
I mean, it's it's weird. But you said something about
(24:04):
about South Congress and the motorcycle scene that's down there.
It's growing, right.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Yeah, you'll see a lot more of these, like little
meet up rides, whether it's dirt bikes and they're doing
wheelies all through town, or you'll see some with the quads,
you know, the four wheelers, Yeah, buzzing around like a.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Lot of that. The three wheeler really interests me because
it's kind of like they want to do something. They
don't want a car. They want four wheels, but I
can't handle two. I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go with three,
like the.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Can AM's where it's one wheel in the back.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Yes.
Speaker 13 (24:44):
Yeah, those always have those always have over the top
stereos that they're hilary like you would on a boat,
but they're doing it on those three wheelers.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Yeah. I see a lot of those too. And kind
of my last thought on this is the scooters, the
Lime scooters, and stuff that are all over town. Let
me tell you so there. Yeah, there is absolutely no
way in the world to look cool on one.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
People who yeah, they think they're really cool. Yeah yeah, No,
you really look not great, not great.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
This is The JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighties
station one oh three point one text us at seven
three seven three zero one ninety six hundred.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
We've got the day off, but we hope you enjoyed
this from earlier this year. All Right, there's really no
scientific proof to this. It's really just an observation by
someone that writes for the Wall Street Journal. There's a
guy that writes for the Wall Street Journal, and he's
got five kids, and it kind of surprised him that
none of his kids or their friends had any nicknames
(30:44):
for each other. And it made him wonder if nicknames
were going the way of the dinosaur, just on the decline,
like no one has a nickname anymore, you know, like
calling your buddy from Austin, calling them texts, you know
what I mean? Or you know they can't. Maybe it's
PC or people get triggered, whatever the hell word it
(31:07):
is nowadays when you're when you're little heavy set, buddy
called him tiny, kind of kind of going away.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
But I had growing up, Yeah, through middle school at
least it was Bucky was my nickname because I had
a really bad buck teeth and then I got him fixed.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
But that had to sting a little bit didn't it.
Speaker 14 (31:30):
I guess I just rolled with it. You don't have
much choice. Yeah, I kind of remember. I had a
bad one in high school. It was both blockhead and
block oh.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Then that got shortened to block oh because those dumb
idiots couldn't remember blockhead or spell. But because I have
a very I guess I still have a big head,
I mean bald, square head, and mailbox. They tried to
call me mailbox two for a while. They had to
(32:02):
go to It was funny in high school playing football
when I was a sophomore, they had to go to
the University of I was in Nebraska. I had to
go to the University of Nebraska and get a helmet
from the university to fit my head in high school.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
In high school, did the local news do a future.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
They thought. I think they thought there was something wrong
with me.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
But hey, whatever, young man, Blocko just wants to play.
But there's one thing preventing it. They don't make any
helmets size.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
That's like when Shaq then steps in and buys you
a giant helmet, like you buyt giant shoes for kids.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
He's done that several times. Kids, You like size twenty
six foot? He buys them, buys some shoes, right Tristan
to girls like our our daughter runs with the crew.
They kind of they don't really go by nicknames, but
they go by last name, well.
Speaker 5 (33:00):
Because they're an ROTC and they're all called by their
last name in ROTC.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
But there was a while that it wasn't that her
crew had nicknames.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
It was that they had different names, like whatever their
actual first name was they had. Remember when you were
a kid and you're like, I wish my name was this,
and you'd ask your parents to call you by a
different name and they'd say, nope, my name's Jatricia.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
That's what we're calling you.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Well, they used whatever names they really wanted at school
and not their actual real names. But it wasn't really
a nickname back when we were kids' nicknames, Like you
were saying, we're kind of rooted in being mean antagonizing
a little bit, and you just can't get away with
that anymore.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
But that's what made them funny.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
But you know what, though, what's funny, as I say nicknames,
is that Sandy, which I've always gone by, is a
is the real nickname for Alexander, just like Bob is
for Robert, and Bill is for William, and Dick is
for Richard.
Speaker 5 (33:55):
Yeah, there's a lot of nicknames for Alexander, right, I guess,
so Zander, alex alex It's a few.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
That I can think of. But my other I have
a theory that there are no men left under the
age of fifty named Dick.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
It's just, you know, I know one guy and he's
worth a fortune. He lives in LA that I met.
I met him at south By one year and it
was like, you know, maybe I'm like, you know many
people that go by Dick anymore?
Speaker 1 (34:25):
And he goes, that's why I go by it, he goes,
It's it's very memorable.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Yeah. I have an uncle and he was Uncle Dick.
And I had a cousin who was
