Speaker 4 (00:33):
Well here, we are just.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
A few days away from Father's Day as or as
I like to call it, the forgotten holiday. Oh cydo
the holiday that. It seems like for the last few
years I have been doing something else on Father's Day
other than celebrating Father's Day.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
I think the last few years has been we were
driving our daughter to camp.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah, so it wasn't like you were digging ditch is.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I was with your family, but I wasn't sitting at
home watching the United States Open golf tournament.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
That is true. But you're with your child, which is
most important for her.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Oh yeah, because I never see her so Father's Day
that I would love to see the amount of money
America spends on Father's Day versus Mother's Day. Oh yeah,
I bet you anything. It's multiples more from on Mother's Day.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
I don't think that's true.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Why where did this come from that fathers get screwed
on Father's Day? Because normally, in my opinion, what fathers
want their items are a little bit more expensive than
what what chicks want, Like, chicks want food and a massage.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Like you, guys, I don't think guys ask for anything.
I've never asked for anything.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah, I'm with you. I always kind of get bit
out of shape when the question comes up. It's like,
what do you want for Father's Day? Surprise me?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Will you ask me what I want for Mother's Day?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Well, I know, because you're very particular about things you want.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
It's just like, yeah, and then you probably and over
an Amazon wish list.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
I do not have a standing order for any gifts
given to me, and they all involve a massage and food.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I think what I usually say is like, can we
all just do something together like on Sundays?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
That ever, I probably wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I mean, it could be simple, it could be really simple.
Let's just go eat, if you know, I think, well,
the term bronch only.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Exists because of women. Let's just let's go to a
nice brand. I don't really want breakfast, they want lunch.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Well you've got.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You two have it a little different than I do
for mothers our Father's Day, Mother's Day, because your parents
are live here in Austin, right, so you got to
get together.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
It's mhm.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
It's always more about our parents, which I don't mind you.
That's kind of in my opinion, that's sort of the rule.
And until they're gone, like, yeah, you know, whoever's highest
on the totem poles, it's all about that, right, So yeah, right,
so I gotta and yeah, all of it. And my
wife's parents live here too. It's not together, so we're
(03:12):
always we call it divide and conquered. It'll probably go
see my dad and she'll go see her dad, and.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
A good strategy.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
My call to my call to my dad on Father's
Dale goes something like this, Hey Dad, how you doing.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Happy Father's daying?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Oh thinks Sandy thinks, by the weather here has just
been horrible that's the conversation that with my dad. Or
of course it's always the like he answers the phone
or whatever, and it's it's Sandy, Jean, it's talking to Sandy.
Sandy's on the phone. Oh what was that Sandy? And
then then we get into the weather. It's like he
(03:46):
relays everything I say. You know, I'll say something and
you know, you know Landry went to Camp Jeene Landry
with camp.
Speaker 5 (03:54):
It's just and then he's not a good funny talker.
When he has decided he no longer wants to speak
on the phone. You might be in the middle of
talking and I'll go hold on for your mom and
he'll just cut you off mid sentence and hand the
phone to apple.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Dad.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I'm having surgery on my brain tomorrow. All right, let
me get your mom. Just the way that it works,
I don't know. I'm all right with it. Whatever it is,
what it is, He's not going to change. It is
what it is.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Right.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
So Father's Day coming up this weekend. Tricia grew up
without a dad, so you don't have to stress this. Wow,
huh what you did?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I know?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Strange enough, just the way you delivered it was just
like this horrible blood.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
You may not know she had no father growing up.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
No, do you ever wish she did? Seriously, Like when
you were a kid, did you wish you had a dad?
Speaker 5 (04:45):
When I was little, Like elementary school, I did. That
was when it was really I wished I had. But
then I'm in after that, I was I didn't really
think about it. I mean, I had all my uncles
and my grandfather. It's not like I was hurting for
a male figure in my life.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Right, those were good guys to be around.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
You got to do a lot of fun stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
So uh, anyway, you got a few days to get
whatever it is you get for dad for Father's Day
and get him and he won't use it or just
put it away or not wear it, you know what
I mean. There's nothing worse than that. When I remember
as a kid, you get your dad's shirt for Father's Day,
never wear it.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Feelings, Yeah, I get a lot of emotions tied up
in Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yeah, we're just any young kids listening. We're just old
enough that we probably all handmade in school an ashtrack.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
A think about that, yeah, and as that's what dad
all love? Right and ashtray, Oh, do.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
You guys want to know the answer to my question
about was more money spent on Mother's Day or Father's Day?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
You found it an answer. More money is spent on
Mother's Day than Father's Day. In twenty twenty four, of
the US consumer spent thirty three point five billion on
Mother's Day with an average of two hundred and fifty
four dollars and four cents per person, compared to twenty
two point four billion on Father's Day with an average
of one eighty nine to eighty per person. The trade
(06:12):
with Mother's Day spending consistently higher by about nine to
twelve billion annually, has persisted over the past decade.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
So there you go, There you go, there's more.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Hey, we love our we love our moms more. That's
just the way. That's just the way that Or maybe
there's a bunch of people.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Like you grew up without das maybe so really that
fact if you grew up without a father, give us
a call.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
That is happening.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
All right, I'll stop.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Trisia's got the story we love coming up in just
a second. The real reasons why you do not want
to swim in Ladybird Lake?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
That's correct.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
They're giving you the info and JB told us last
week you know this goes back a number of years,
but tristiall to give you more details coming up in
the story We love. If you're just joining us, make
sure you grab the podcast for our of the show. If
you can't be here for the whole show, search JB
and Sandy on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
From a loser All studio.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It's crest Alisia all right. So it's summertime. It's getting
a lot hotter.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
There are a ton of people who we see on
Ladybird Lake paddleboarding and kayaking. As it is, those numbers
are about to go higher, I think, as it gets
hotter in Austin. But unfortunately, after the last two drownings
that have happened in this past month, police are talking
again and urging the public to be extra cautious and
reminding people that swimming in Ladybird Lake is both illegal
(07:37):
and dangerous. They're saying that it has been banned since
the nineteen sixties. Specifically, two sisters drowned in the water
on Mother's Day in nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
That's how long swimming in the lake has been banned.
But a lot of the it was in it all.
It was only built and dammed up in sixties, right
right in the sixties. And it's man made.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
So as a result of that, there's construction debris underneath
the water from old bridges, there's concrete pieces, huge pieces
of concrete rebar and unfortunately now a lot of scooters,
shopping carts and things that wash down the rivers, sharp
objects from urban waterways upriver, needles in the lake. Another
(08:22):
thing they're saying too is the streets. It's right in
the middle of the downtown area, so gas and oil
can run off from the streets into the water. They
are saying, you do not want to swim in this water.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
So I guess paddle boarding is allowed, but swimming's not right.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
All those paddle borders get in the water.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Right right.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
That's what is very confusing for me.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, I mean, if it was so toxic, like I
get like, I think people are fools when they're jumping
off the bridges and stuff because we don't know what's
under theres that shouldn't do. But all those people are
dipping in the water that paddle board because it's so
so dang hot, You would think like the hospitals would
(09:08):
be filled with sick people if it was a problem, right, right,
or people would be dying from whatever. Right, is there
ingesting in the lake? We would have we would have
with as many people are in the water. You think
it would just the hospitals would be filled if it
was such a problem.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I think they're more concerned about the debris that's in
the water that you can injure yourself, rather than ingesting
polluted water and getting sick, right.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yeah, Or they're saying that.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
I mean, if you're on a paddleboarding you happen to
fall off or slip off, you're not going to potentially
completely submerge and inhale that water. But the big risk
is what's down below that you could get caught on.
There's a woman who runs what's it called Austin Rowing Club.
She said that they serve like seventy thousand people a
(09:56):
year running them kayaks and puddleboards, and she tells every
one of them it is illegal to get in this water,
do not swim in this water, and always wear your
life jacket. And unfortunately, one of the people who drowned
just a couple of weeks ago, he was not wearing
a life jacket.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Right, which is just so I couldn't swiamt.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Right, You're gonna fall off the paddle born, your kayak
might flip over. Maybe they're just banking on it being
quick contact with the water. I don't know, but if
there's the gas and the runoff and the untreated water
that's running through it, I wouldn't want my body in
it at all.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Jimmy above Tom Miller dam on Lake Austin. Do you
see many stand up paddlers that it seems crazy to
stand up paddal on the main part of Lake Austin.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Mozart is running them out now?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Really?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Wow, that's right at the dam. Yeah. Yes, you're not
going to enjoy that right now.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
You're not gonna enjoy your paddle board.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I saw some poor folks out there yesterday because the
wind was really kicking up early and it was blowing upstream.
One of the things about paddle boring you always want
to go into the wind first. Yeah, so that coming
back is a problem, and it was. It was blowing
up the lake, so they would have had to come
(11:10):
back into the wind.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I saw them going down the lake. I was like, Oh,
they're going to be so screwed. It's so tired, Jamie.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
How long has it been since you did Damn that
cancer the paddle board trip from the top of the
lake all the way to the bottom, from from Mansfield
damn to Tom Miller.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Well, I've done it five or six times. The first time,
I want to say that event it's coming up, by
the way, June thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
It was twelve thirteen years ago. I don't know something
like that. Hm, that was the first time, at least
twelve years ago. That was the first one.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I know.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
They had their ten year anniversary, so maybe twelve years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
This is an organization that raised a lot of money
for cancer for cancer, and when you did that, does
it suck doing it?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
It just doesn't look I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It's well so aside from a couple of years where
the wind was howling, it's not that hard. Oh really,
Like it's at a very comfortable pace.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
It's a cruise and so it's just a day of cruising.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Now you'll like, my feet would kind of cramp a
bit because you're barefoot and balancing, and you know, you
might get some blisters on your you know, holding a
paddle for all day, like eight hours. But it's it's
a it's a it's a mellow cruise. Yeah, it's and
it's a it is a great event. I think they
raise over a million dollars a year from that one
(12:36):
day's cool and and all of that money goes to
pay for counseling therapy for someone dealing with cancer or
any of their family members. That's cool, that's very cool.
And you say it's coming up at the end of
this night. Yeah, it's June, June thirtieth. I think probably
a Monday. They usually do it on a Monday, but yeah,
(12:59):
it could be. They were a couple of years where
like the like I was saying, the win the wind's
howling in your face, you can't move.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
If you stop paddling, you move back. Yeah, it was
one year that was just brute.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Yeah that sounds rough.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
But if it's not too windy, it's you know, it's
a nice cruise and you might sit for a while
and paddle stand for a while, right, they take a
lunch break midway.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Like it's it's it's a very cool event.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
It is on June thirtieth this year, Monday, June thirtieth,

just the way. That's just the way that Or maybe
there's a bunch of people.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Like you grew up without das maybe so really that
fact if you grew up without a father, give us
a call.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
That is happening.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
All right, I'll stop.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Trisia's got the story we love coming up in just
a second. The real reasons why you do not want
to swim in Ladybird Lake?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Is that correct?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
That's correct.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
They're giving you the info and JB told us last
week you know this goes back a number of years,
but tristiall to give you more details coming up in
the story We love. If you're just joining us, make
sure you grab the podcast for our of the show. If
you can't be here for the whole show, search JB
and Sandy on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
From a loser All studio.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It's crest Alisia all right. So it's summertime. It's getting
a lot hotter.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
There are a ton of people who we see on
Ladybird Lake paddleboarding and kayaking. As it is, those numbers
are about to go higher, I think, as it gets
hotter in Austin. But unfortunately, after the last two drownings
that have happened in this past month, police are talking
again and urging the public to be extra cautious and
reminding people that swimming in Ladybird Lake is both illegal
(07:37):
and dangerous. They're saying that it has been banned since
the nineteen sixties. Specifically, two sisters drowned in the water
on Mother's Day in nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
That's how long swimming in the lake has been banned.
But a lot of the it was in it all.
It was only built and dammed up in sixties, right
right in the sixties. And it's man made.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
So as a result of that, there's construction debris underneath
the water from old bridges, there's concrete pieces, huge pieces
of concrete rebar and unfortunately now a lot of scooters,
shopping carts and things that wash down the rivers, sharp
objects from urban waterways upriver, needles in the lake. Another
(08:22):
thing they're saying too is the streets. It's right in
the middle of the downtown area, so gas and oil
can run off from the streets into the water. They
are saying, you do not want to swim in this water.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
So I guess paddle boarding is allowed, but swimming's not right.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
All those paddle borders get in the water.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Right right.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
That's what is very confusing for me.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, I mean, if it was so toxic, like I
get like, I think people are fools when they're jumping
off the bridges and stuff because we don't know what's
under theres that shouldn't do. But all those people are
dipping in the water that paddle board because it's so
so dang hot, You would think like the hospitals would
(09:08):
be filled with sick people if it was a problem, right, right,
or people would be dying from whatever. Right, is there
ingesting in the lake? We would have we would have
with as many people are in the water. You think
it would just the hospitals would be filled if it
was such a problem.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I think they're more concerned about the debris that's in
the water that you can injure yourself, rather than ingesting
polluted water and getting sick, right.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Yeah, Or they're saying that.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
I mean, if you're on a paddleboarding you happen to
fall off or slip off, you're not going to potentially
completely submerge and inhale that water. But the big risk
is what's down below that you could get caught on.
There's a woman who runs what's it called Austin Rowing Club.
She said that they serve like seventy thousand people a
(09:56):
year running them kayaks and puddleboards, and she tells every
one of them it is illegal to get in this water,
do not swim in this water, and always wear your
life jacket. And unfortunately, one of the people who drowned
just a couple of weeks ago, he was not wearing
a life jacket.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Right, which is just so I couldn't swiamt.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
Right, You're gonna fall off the paddle born, your kayak
might flip over. Maybe they're just banking on it being
quick contact with the water. I don't know, but if
there's the gas and the runoff and the untreated water
that's running through it, I wouldn't want my body in
it at all.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Jimmy above Tom Miller dam on Lake Austin. Do you
see many stand up paddlers that it seems crazy to
stand up paddal on the main part of Lake Austin.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Mozart is running them out now?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Really?
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Wow, that's right at the dam. Yeah. Yes, you're not
going to enjoy that right now.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
You're not gonna enjoy your paddle board.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I saw some poor folks out there yesterday because the
wind was really kicking up early and it was blowing upstream.
One of the things about paddle boring you always want
to go into the wind first. Yeah, so that coming
back is a problem, and it was. It was blowing
up the lake, so they would have had to come
(11:10):
back into the wind.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I saw them going down the lake. I was like, Oh,
they're going to be so screwed. It's so tired, Jamie.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
How long has it been since you did Damn that
cancer the paddle board trip from the top of the
lake all the way to the bottom, from from Mansfield
damn to Tom Miller.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Well, I've done it five or six times. The first time,
I want to say that event it's coming up, by
the way, June thirtieth.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
It was twelve thirteen years ago. I don't know something
like that. Hm, that was the first time, at least
twelve years ago. That was the first one.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I know.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
They had their ten year anniversary, so maybe twelve years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
This is an organization that raised a lot of money
for cancer for cancer, and when you did that, does
it suck doing it?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
It just doesn't look I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It's well so aside from a couple of years where
the wind was howling, it's not that hard. Oh really,
Like it's at a very comfortable pace.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
It's a cruise and so it's just a day of cruising.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Now you'll like, my feet would kind of cramp a
bit because you're barefoot and balancing, and you know, you
might get some blisters on your you know, holding a
paddle for all day, like eight hours. But it's it's
a it's a it's a mellow cruise. Yeah, it's and
it's a it is a great event. I think they
raise over a million dollars a year from that one
(12:36):
day's cool and and all of that money goes to
pay for counseling therapy for someone dealing with cancer or
any of their family members. That's cool, that's very cool.
And you say it's coming up at the end of
this night. Yeah, it's June, June thirtieth. I think probably
a Monday. They usually do it on a Monday, but yeah,
(12:59):
it could be. They were a couple of years where
like the like I was saying, the win the wind's
howling in your face, you can't move.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
If you stop paddling, you move back. Yeah, it was
one year that was just brute.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Yeah that sounds rough.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
But if it's not too windy, it's you know, it's
a nice cruise and you might sit for a while
and paddle stand for a while, right, they take a
lunch break midway.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Like it's it's it's a very cool event.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
It is on June thirtieth this year, Monday, June thirtieth,

Speaker 4 (14:14):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
The holiday that it seems like for the last few
years I have been doing something else on Father's Day
other than celebrating Father's Day.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
I think the last few years has been we were
driving our daughter to camp. Yeah, so it wasn't like
you were digging ditches, but I was with your family.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
But I wasn't sitting at home watching the United States
Open Golf tournament.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
That is true. You're with your child, which is most
important for her.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Oh yeah, because I never see her so Father's Day
that I would love to see the amount of money
America spends on Father's Day versus Mother's Day. Oh yeah,
I bet you anything. It's multiples more from on Mother's Day.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I don't think that you're true.
