Speaker 1 (00:00):
But I do have a compliment for the Aggies a
little bit later on, which are a few and far
between from me, all right, but I do have a
a some praise for the Aggies. We'll get to that
in just a little bit. If you're just joining us
and you missed the first part of the show, grab
the podcast. Just search the Sandy Show, then look for
the ones labeled the JB and Sandy Show. JB saw
(00:22):
Gladiator over the weekend. It's a big movie weekend, and
I'm curious what you thought about it, because I'm like,
you can't be any good.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
You can't decided you hate it. This is what Sandy does,
hate it stupid.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Well, let me start with this. I don't go to
the theater very often. We've talked about that before, but
there's some movies you need to see on the big
screened and this was.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
One of them. Definitely worth saying. If you, oh, good.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I want to talk about one thing in particular, but
I don't want to give it giveaway. I don't want
to spoil anything. You know, people always ask let's do
this first. People have asked should I see the first
one first?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Okay, as you should.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Stream it watch because there are a lot of pieces
of the story that I mean, you're still gonna enjoy
it if you see it, but but there's a lot
of things that unfold that you'll understand. The connection if
you've seen the first one.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Very important. I think it's important.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
So I would definitely watch the first one before you
go the part. And Okay, everything's amazing. The acting is amazing,
Denzel's great. Yeah, everybody, everybody knocks knocks it out of
the park. The special effects unreal. They just took one
scene a little too far. Okay, Now you've if you've seen,
(01:48):
if you've been watching TV, you've seen all these different
trailers and one of them you see that the Colisseum
is filled with water boats in it and they're having
a battle.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
So when I was watching it that part at the theater,
I was like, that's come on, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I was like, calm through the history somewhat please.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Then I loof it up.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I looked it up and I think, Tricia, you might
know this too. They actually did put water in the college.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
They did.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
I thought it was crazy too, But they used to
fill it up, I guess for battles.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't know they would put boats in there, like
maybe not the giant ships that you'll see it in
the movie. Again, I don't want to spoil anything, but
then they took that. I don't want to give it away,
but you know, in Gladiator there's a lot of scenes
where they incorporate animals into the fights.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Right rights were.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Very popular, especially for unpopular with the Christians.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
But but they in the water scene, they took it
a little too far. Really part of that. Other than that,
the movies Near Perfection, it's a lot. It's a lot
of gore enviolence. It's about two hours. It's not too long.
Oh it moves by pretty good, okay, because I think
(03:08):
the original was like three hours.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I think so.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Yeah, I mean, my god that some movies have come
out that are like three and a half hours long.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah's a lunch to go to the theater.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Right, what got you to the theater? JB.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I mean, like you said, you don't go to the theater.
I mean, I know the movie got you there, but
I mean.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I know, and I typically if it's something I want
to see at the theater.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I wait till all the hype is gone.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, so the theater isn't so full and then my
wife pulled it up at Alaman. She goes, hey, hold on,
there's there's two seats in the very back row. It's
a shared sofa. She goes, will you go do that?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
I go yes, like, yeah, I didn't even know they
did that, I know. And so we had the little
shared sofa back there.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
We're in the back and it's you know, you're not
totally surrounded by people but breathing behind you and stuff.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yes, you know, you know what I'm talking about. It
could be too much, you know, but that was That
was great.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
The seat was great, and it's incredible, Like it's just incredible.
The storyline gets you again. Yeah, the fight scenes are
even more epic, I think than the first one.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Really.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Yeah, I want to see it, and I do totally
agree that it needs to be seen at the theater.
My biggest problem with going to the movie theater there
was all the people. I really like people who act
like they're sitting in their living room when they're in
an auditorium, you know what I mean, Yeah, talking and
moving around and shaking their ice around in the glass
(04:42):
so they can eat their eyes. I was at one
fancy movie theater and the guy ordered a salad in
a metal bowl with a metal fork and ate the
salad for two and.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
A half hours straight. Clink link clink. I was like,
how can there be that much solid in there?
Speaker 4 (04:57):
It's yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I just when I see look aroun, you see people
eating popcorns, so they're touching their mouths with their hands
and then touching everything.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
That's all I think about.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It's so hate to ruin it for you movie people.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
But do you think those kids that work there part
time are cleaning everything?
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
The hack is JB.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
I hate it every time I talk about it because
I'm afraid people will start doing it. If I'm going
to the theater, I'll go online and I'll buy two
seats along the wall, and I buy two seats. I'll
go by myself, but I sell back the ticket to
the second seat when I get there, so I'm virtually
guaranteed that.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Society can sell it back.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
You can give it back like you lose like a buck,
but you can get a refund for it when you
get there.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
So everybody sits next is awful.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Really, it's terrible. Wow, just like only Tricia would think
of that.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I would have never thought of that.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It gets too people in the movie theater.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Sometimes it is very people.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, well, maybe I want to go see this now
at the theater. I'm not going with Tricia Painting. I
do something wrong, She'll yell at me.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
You can't so loud. I know you're drinking too much, right,
stop doing that, it's too loud.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Here's a question for you about it. Giv was Russell
Crowe missed? You know what I mean? Like Gladiator? Was
Russell Crowe?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Is the movie like, no, it works without him?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
It does?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's They reference uh Maximus
quite often, and they and they do a lot of
flashback scenes from the actual movie to piece to kind
of help those who didn't see maybe didn't see the
first one, but it's it's present and yeah, it works
without it.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
You'll see.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Why is the Roman emperor a bad guy, a villain?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
It's it'szel.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
Oh no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
There's two young emperors.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
They're brothers, giving away too much, right, they're nasty little brats,
you know, they said.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
As Geoffrey was in Game of Thrones.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Oh, very similar, very very similar. Yeah wow, but the
and this isn't given anything away. So do you remember
I can't remember the character's name in the first one,
the guy who uh basically bought Maximus and made him
a gladiator to earnest freedom.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Nice to him.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Yeah, yeah, that's the role.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Not the same character, but that's the same kind of
role that Denzel plays. He buys, he buys these slaves
and puts them in and makes them gladiators and very
similar role.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
I heard that he might like Oscar Buzz for his performance.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
He's good. I can see that. I could see that. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:47):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
So you had your choice between Gladiator and Wicked and
you chose right. Can I tell you that I've seen
and I can tell you that it's the Jabi and
Sandy Hour and again tomorrow from seven untill eight o'clock.

(08:08):
the ones labeled the JB and Sandy Show. Coming up next,
Longhorns beat the Aggies whipped them pretty good. Actually we'll
talk a little bit about that. But I got to
give some props and some love to the Aggies, which
doesn't happen very often stick and coach Sark. What a
class act he was with what he did at the
end of the game. Stay with us, it's coming up
(08:30):
on Austin's eighties station one oh three point one. Hey,
it's sandy and the holiday season is upon us. You
know the song, It's the most wonderful time of the year.
It's true you get together with friends, you get together
with family, but it's also a time to plan for
the future. For me, this means taking stock of all
the people who make my life easier. And my friend
Scott and Stacey Feller and the team at Kangaroof they
(08:53):
make that list every single time. They take care of
all my roof he needs. They've done it for years.
And you know, when you work with Kangaroof, you can
always count on great service, fair pricing, and peace of mind.
For more than twenty years, Scott and Stacy's team have
been serving Central Texas families, protecting homes, and they stand
behind their work. So as you start planning for twenty
(09:13):
twenty five and beyond, why not call my friends at Kangaroof.
They'll come out, They'll inspect your roof. You'll give you
an honest, reliable and professional recommendations about what's best for
you and your home. You can find them online at
call kingo roof dot com. Again, that's call kingo roof
dot com. All right, I've got a compliment for the
(09:35):
Aggies and that doesn't happen very often. But first of all,
how great was that game on Saturday night? Yes, d
it was amazing, amazing.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I'm not gonna lie I was.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I mean, even though the odds makers are usually right.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, what was it?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Five and a half point spread or something like that?
You're nervous. I was nervous.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I think any any Longhorn fan, I don't care how
orange your blood is, going into Kyle Field is a
kind of an X factor that most.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
People can't understand.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And that crowd and what was at stake too, Yeah,
it just was like those kids could rise to the
either side could rise to the occasion. You know, they've
they've got the talent, but you know, SEC championship on
the line, and what's god, what makes matters worse?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
You know, Aggies have been in the SEC what ten years?
Eleven years now?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Has it been that long? I was wondering that earlier.
I wasn't sure how long they had been in.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
It something like that, and haven't been in an SEC
SEC Championship and we kind of dance in our first year.
But share what you want to share about the Aggies,
because I noticed some stuff too.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, but before that, before I share my compliment for
the Aggies, I have to tell you that. So I
watched the game at home, and Tricia and I sleep
in separate bedrooms, and there there's just a little like
office space open space between our bedrooms. Tricia's got her
TV in there. I got my TV in my room.
We're watching the game. Somehow, some way, YouTube TV in
(11:08):
Tricia's room was about ten seconds ahead of YouTube TV
and my room. Yeah, so during the game, all I
hear from the from the other room is oh my gosh,
Oh my gosh, and like.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh wow, holy crap.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
And I'm sitting there walking look ato my TV, waiting
to see what happened, right.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Whoa Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I'm like, oh my god. I was like, this is
going to drive me nuts. So I turned my TV off,
turn it back on. That doesn't fix the problem. Eventually,
I just watched part of the game in her room
and then her room was uncomfortable, so I came back
to my room and I just shut that. I just
shut them. So here's the compliment for the Aggies, whether
you like them or not, they they get the school
(11:56):
Spirit Award. I mean, yeah, those those Aggie fitsands are
loyal man, and they are somewhat brainwashed, and they show
up and they do their thing with a lot of pride,
even though we think it's so weird. Some of the
things that Aggies do, they don't care. And I love that.
(12:19):
I mean, Tricia pointed out, how the what's the person
that does the band what are they called the drum major?
Drum major?
Speaker 6 (12:26):
Most drum majors conduct like this and they have to
be different and they just go like this. They just
their hands together and give the meat up and down.
I've never seen that before. It's like even that's something different.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Like, I mean, everything from the yell leaders. You know,
in our eyes it's weird. Aggie don't care, doesn't care,
the whoop, the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
It's It's the hard part to swallow is how everything
is anti taxis.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Right for the Hey when they had the fight song
when they Aggie until division, that is the first time
I have ever seen television put the words of the
fight song yeah on the screen, and it was blaring, clear,
glaringly obvious how much they hate the Longhorns, just based
(13:17):
on their fight.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
Song, just about the long I was like a different
one when they played different teeth and there were weird
words in it, yeah or.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Whatever, and they they and I get it. I get
the jet, the jet, the meaning behind it. They cannot
bring themselves to say U T.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
They belonged to say.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
To you, right, Well, A and M was there first,
I mean, is that right? It was there before U T. Yeah.
I did just a little rabbit hole of Aggie traditions
just because I was kind of curious about them. But
I mean, they don't care there those kids were having them.
And it was a lot of students that's school too.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
A tons.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Did you see the guy in the sea of UT
students and the uniforms and stuff, the one guy the
orange shirt on, I mean the aggie student, the one
guy with the Home Depot orange hard hat on and
the orange the U T shirt was sticking out and
the sea of Aggie students. He was just standing in
there with their SARMs crussed.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Serious Longhorn fans ponied up and got in there. Somehow
because they were pretty aloud. I was surprised many they
really quieted long with quieted Kyle Field that more than
I've probably ever heard on a couple of plays. Yeah yeah,
like that one foot in the end zone in the
corner you know that catch, oh.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
That they looked at over and over.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Yeah, like that place was just like go back.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I already watched the highlights on Sports Center or ESPN whatever,
the full highlights like three times and just listened how
quiet it is when he catches that ball, I know.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And then I was when they ruled it that was
a touchdown. I was like, oh, dear guy, Theaggies are
gonna go nuts. They're going to drive tractors onto the field.
There's gonna be big problems here. But I mean, I mean,
but coach Sarkisian is a class act and did a
great job. If he watched the games earlier in the day.
(15:21):
There were some problems after Michigan Ohio State with Michigan
wanting to stick their flag into Ohio State. You can
think Lake Travis graduate Baker Mayfield for that tradition. He's
the one he started that. He's the one that started
all that and got away and so now so Ohio
(15:45):
State and Michigan went at it, and then it happened again.
I believe it in Ariostota Arizona State Utah game, I'm
not sure. And then at the end of the long
was it USC. There's USC, Notre Dame. But at the
end of the game they there was like three or
four longhorns standing on that aggie logo at the center
(16:07):
of the field, and one of them was like kicking
his feet, you know, dragging his beat on the logo,
and coach Shark came over. He's like, no, no, no,
we're not doing that. And those kids listened to him,
and that showed they respected him, whereas the kids at
Michigan and Ohio State didn't listen to anybody.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Now, that fight went on for ten minutes, ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, the cops pepper sprayed some of the players like
that was that was huge, man.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
So I had watched a lot of those you know,
highlights all day and saw like three or four of
those fights break out at different games like you're talking about,
and at the end of the thing, I was going,
don't mess with Kyle Field. I was literally thinking that,
like this rivalry's got enough action on it.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Don't like you wouldn't get out of there alive.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Oh no, not at all.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
And you see they had police officers standing on the
logo too. I'm sure simply because of what they saw
happened in games earlier in the day. They're like, this
can't be a thing.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, it makes me wonder if before the game coach
are at halftime or something. Coach Sarkisian said, don't do that,
do you know what I mean? Don't act a fool.
You won the game, move on, And that's what happened.
But Longhorns look good. They played Georgia this weekend again.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Did you guys notice though, at the end when they
were singing the UT school song, the cameras were right
in front of coach Sarkisian and quin Yours was there
and they're singing the UT song and Quinn Yours.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Clearly does not know the words to some of the
UT songs.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Yeah, you can see he's singing along for a little
bit and then just kind of does something were with
his mouth and picks it back up a little while later.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It was like quarterbacks should know the words.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
His mouth was shut until it was like till Gabriel
and then he's like, oh, yeah, I know that part.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
It's like in church, why you just sing the hallelujah part?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah? Right, yeah, you're right. But it was a big game.
It was a lot of fun, and I found myself.
I said to Tricia, it's like our daughter's sophomore in
high school. She just got college a couple of years away.
But I hope she goes to a school that has
that type of like you're a part of it. You know,
you go and you have the experience of going to
(18:19):
the football games and cheering and supporting, having all that stuff.
And she's kind of talking about a and m oh.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, a lot.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
It's so jealous.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
And you know, my wife and I were talking about
this when we were at Texas. I didn't know her then,
by the way, although she says we met you new
one went to the games like it was.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Just it wasn't exciting.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
It was it was just a real slump for Texas
in that era. Yeah, we'd start pre partying saying we're
going to go and then you know, by half, we're
down by twenty points. And so I didn't get that,
like that would have been fun. That would have been
really fun as a student to have this environment.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah, I had to tell I haven't told Tricia said,
I can't say this to Landry, our daughter, who's got
an interest in going to Texas A and M because
she loves the mascot the colleague. And I was like, dude,
Revelle doesn't really strike fear into anyone like.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
A wow bulldog does.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
She actually was having an argument with one of her
friends about Beavo versus Reveley, and I got sucked into
it and I was all, girl, a big.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Giant bull with horns that could for you or as Shelty.
I was like, come on. I was like, I cannot
support you.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
But then she said, yeah, but Revelrie doesn't have to
have to have guys and cowboys hats and shovels following
around to pick up its poop.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Like, but just I've always said my dream would be
to be Bevo in my next life. You go, you
get to hang out on the sidelines right here, your
food and water, you can.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Just pee and poop right there. Yeah, you're so amazing.
You're so doped up your jewel line.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah, she's completely stoned on something.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Oh great story about when she was a small. Tricia
and her mother worked at the State Capitol, and she's
going to tell you about that in just a second.
It's the JB and Sandy Our thanks for being with
us tomorrow from seven until eight o'clock and then on Wednesday,
Thursday eight until nine, Friday seven until eight. Grab the podcast.
(20:30):
If you've missed anything, to search The Sandy Show and
look for the ones labeled the JB and Sandy Show.
So Tricia is a lifelong Austin night and her mother
used to work at the State Capitol, so she spent
a lot of time there as a kid. And I'll
let you take it from there.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Trash a lot of time at the Capitol short for
a senator, and I remember we had to go up
on the weekends a lot for her to work, and
his office was on the third floor.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
And they also, I haven't been there in a while.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
They had a basement at the time, which is where
the cafeteria was, where vending machines were, So whenever I
was there, I was down in the basement a lot.
And I was so young, I was probably seven maybe
eight years old. I remember on a Saturday getting in
the elevator and not being able to reach the button
to hit the third floor to get back up to
my mom, and I flipped out, wigged out, started screaming,
(21:21):
thought I was going to die. Security guard found me
and took me up there. But during the session one weekend,
people are you know, they are working all the time
during the session, and it's a Saturday.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I go. I knew I was going to be there
all day.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
So I took my roller skates and I was down
in the basement roller skating as fast as I could,
up and down all around.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I mean those smooth floors in the Capitol.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Oh yeah, yeah, fun people were there, but it wasn't
super crowded down there. But again, I planned for the
day and I got in trouble. One of the security
guards is like, little girl, you cannot do that, And
the security guard took me back up to my mom's office.
And the senator was actually there working that day. I
was paying Peyton McKnight, yes, a senator from Tyler, and
(22:12):
he found out. He asked me why I was crying,
and I told him what happened, and he was all,
put those skates back on right now, and he took
me and we went back down there and he found
that security guard and he goes, she can skate down
here as long as.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
She yes, sir. Wow, I knew it was super cool.
But I skated for hours down there.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Did you stick your tongue out of that security guard
every time you went?
Speaker 3 (22:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
But again I was little, but I knew something. I
knew I had won something, but I was not sure
what it was.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
What I have questions now?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
What?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
So what was the security like in the building. Is
this similar to what it is now? You know, you
go through a gun scan?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
You know, No, none of that.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
No, And I haven't been there a long time, but
from what I remember, they had because anybody who worked there,
you could actually park up right there, right next to
the Capitol.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Where it's all closed off now.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah, closed off.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
But they had men who stood at those gates as
interest skate interest skates, and they recognized my mom.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
They'd be like, Hi, Sndra, come on in.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Like that's the only kind of security I remember at all.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
All the doors are open all around the Capitol.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
You could go up into the rotunda all the way
up like some of those doors weren't locked. You know,
you can go up to the very top almost where
the statue is. Yeah, I mean they had more security
there like when the session was going on, but I
mean there, it was not a high security presence.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I went wherever I wanted in that building, you know.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
And people forget you can just go and walk around there,
you know, Yeah, that's it's open to do. But I
think you do, like now you have to go through
a metal detector. Probably, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Oh, I'm sure I'd go sit in at all the desks,
like when there was no session, I just walk around
and I'd go sit.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I just go from desk to desk to desk out
on the floor. The Senate r was just.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Were there anything in the desk or no?
Speaker 6 (24:10):
But I let I totally lit.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I mean, it was just all open. It was cool.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
I got I was so bored there so many times,
but it still was super cool.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
That is cool.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
What else is surprising that where you could access like
I don't, I don't. I guess I've just been in
the main rotunda.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Yeah, I mean, but like I said, you could go
into the Senate floor where all there, you know, you
see the buttons that they would push to vote.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
You could go there. You could go the chambers behind that.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
That's where I went once with. I was with a
friend of mine who used to be a lobbyist, and
we were down there for something. He got me a
meeting with a state rep for about something I was
working on. And then we were just walking around the
Capitol and we were in, you know, on the floor,
and he goes, come on, let's go behind. We're just
walking through the thing and we're behind the you know,
(25:01):
where the speaker is and all that, Yeah, the podium
behind that. I'm like, dude, are we are you sure
it's okay to be walking around it? Did? It felt
like you shouldn't. You shouldn't be there. But I'll tell
you something real funny too. So I've mentioned it before.
I produce a podcast for uh Chancellor can't Hands. The
(25:22):
chancellor meritis at Texas Tech and he's a former US
Congressman and state senator and all that stuff. But he
moved into a new office and his view, I mean
literally out his back window of his lobby and all
that is filled with the State Capitol. The views unbelievable.
(25:45):
And below them, although you can't see it because it's
covered with trees, is the Governor's mansion right below it.
So I took a picture of that view and posted
on social that said visiting a friend's new office. Clearly
he made better life decisions than I did, Like I'm
(26:07):
never gonna have of you that it's pretty peyton meg Night.
Did you write did he Yes?
Speaker 7 (26:13):
He did?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That would have been my campaign slogan for him.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Did you write, does You're right?
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Oh my god, that's funny. Your mom always said what
a great guy he was too.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Was a lot of people don't know that Sandy wrote
that slogan for Lorenz that I'm on top of it.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
Yeah, Sandy thinks he wrote is He thinks he wrote
I got milk?
Speaker 4 (26:36):
I did?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
You also thinks a season desist from the I Got
Milk people, So I got to stop saying that I
did it.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
She also says he wrote if you lived here, you'd
be home the signs you see outside.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
J and I were together when.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
We wrote that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, come of all
kinds of things. Nag and Nita slogan give me a call,
I'll help you. The only guy, the four four four
four four four four guy I gave him.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
He was originally six six six six six six six,
and Sandy was like, no.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
No, no, no, no, no, we can't do that. Four
four four four four four. How much money do those
guys have to advertise? Oh, my god, is constantly Thomas J. Henry.
I mean, my goodness, what is their budget to advertise? Yeah,
(27:24):
I guess you gotta get word out there to get
those people to get hit by cars. Somebody told me
that a lot of those billboards and stuff that you
see are not even law firms. They're just lead generators
for law firms.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Really, But like trying to say that Thomas J. Henry
is not really an he's he's.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yeah, but some of the he's not going to represent you.
Someone in his firm is going to.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I'll tell you this. I have a friend that got
hit by a commercial truck and he hired him and
he said, they are unbelievable how they.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
My daughter had a bad car accident three and a
half years ago, and the other guy hired them and they.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Were brutal, like, oh, you're on the other side of it.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Yeah, oh man.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
They used some some stern tactics like if I'm on
that side of it, yeah, that's different.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
But I was on the receiving end like, wait a minute,
I'm trying to help you here.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
My buddy that got hit, they they've ben counseled him
to like, look, you're gonna have people following you, just
so you know, don't do anything you know that would
say that your injury is a lie. You know, like
no workout or ride a bike or you know what
I mean. Yeah, they'll be people taking photographs or video
of you. He said they were great. But anyway, we
(28:40):
got off a little off topic there, but that's what
we do here.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
Which you got a new scheme, It's not a scheme.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
It's an idea. Yeah here, okay, I'd love to watch television.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Right, we'll tell it coming up, but I think you
wanted me to do it. Big radio teas, Trish, you
sounded like you're.

She'll tell you all about it next on Austin's dat
station WHAT three point one and streaming on my iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 7 (38:01):
These Alma
Speaker 4 (38:08):
W.
But I do have a compliment for the Aggies a
little bit later on, which are a few and far
between from me, all right, but I do have a
a some praise for the Aggies. We'll get to that
in just a little bit. If you're just joining us
and you missed the first part of the show, grab
the podcast. Just search the Sandy Show, then look for
the ones labeled the JB and Sandy Show. JB saw
(00:22):
Gladiator over the weekend. It's a big movie weekend, and
I'm curious what you thought about it, because I'm like,
you can't be any good.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
You can't decided you hate it. This is what Sandy does,
hate it stupid.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Well, let me start with this. I don't go to
the theater very often. We've talked about that before, but
there's some movies you need to see on the big
screened and this was.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
One of them. Definitely worth saying. If you, oh, good.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I want to talk about one thing in particular, but
I don't want to give it giveaway. I don't want
to spoil anything. You know, people always ask let's do
this first. People have asked should I see the first
one first?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Okay, as you should.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Stream it watch because there are a lot of pieces
of the story that I mean, you're still gonna enjoy
it if you see it, but but there's a lot
of things that unfold that you'll understand. The connection if
you've seen the first one.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Very important. I think it's important.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
So I would definitely watch the first one before you
go the part. And Okay, everything's amazing. The acting is amazing,
Denzel's great. Yeah, everybody, everybody knocks knocks it out of
the park. The special effects unreal. They just took one
scene a little too far. Okay, Now you've if you've seen,
(01:48):
if you've been watching TV, you've seen all these different
trailers and one of them you see that the Colisseum
is filled with water boats in it and they're having
a battle.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
So when I was watching it that part at the theater,
I was like, that's come on, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I was like, calm through the history somewhat please.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Then I loof it up.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I looked it up and I think, Tricia, you might
know this too. They actually did put water in the college.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
They did.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
I thought it was crazy too, But they used to
fill it up, I guess for battles.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I don't know they would put boats in there, like
maybe not the giant ships that you'll see it in
the movie. Again, I don't want to spoil anything, but
then they took that. I don't want to give it away,
but you know, in Gladiator there's a lot of scenes
where they incorporate animals into the fights.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Right rights were.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Very popular, especially for unpopular with the Christians.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
But but they in the water scene, they took it
a little too far. Really part of that. Other than that,
the movies Near Perfection, it's a lot. It's a lot
of gore enviolence. It's about two hours. It's not too long.
Oh it moves by pretty good, okay, because I think
(03:08):
the original was like three hours.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I think so.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Yeah, I mean, my god that some movies have come
out that are like three and a half hours long.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah's a lunch to go to the theater.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Right, what got you to the theater? JB.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I mean, like you said, you don't go to the theater.
I mean, I know the movie got you there, but
I mean.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I know, and I typically if it's something I want
to see at the theater.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I wait till all the hype is gone.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Yeah, so the theater isn't so full and then my
wife pulled it up at Alaman. She goes, hey, hold on,
there's there's two seats in the very back row. It's
a shared sofa. She goes, will you go do that?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
I go yes, like, yeah, I didn't even know they
did that, I know. And so we had the little
shared sofa back there.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
We're in the back and it's you know, you're not
totally surrounded by people but breathing behind you and stuff.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yes, you know, you know what I'm talking about. It
could be too much, you know, but that was That
was great.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
The seat was great, and it's incredible, Like it's just incredible.
The storyline gets you again. Yeah, the fight scenes are
even more epic, I think than the first one.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Really.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Yeah, I want to see it, and I do totally
agree that it needs to be seen at the theater.
My biggest problem with going to the movie theater there
was all the people. I really like people who act
like they're sitting in their living room when they're in
an auditorium, you know what I mean, Yeah, talking and
moving around and shaking their ice around in the glass
(04:42):
so they can eat their eyes. I was at one
fancy movie theater and the guy ordered a salad in
a metal bowl with a metal fork and ate the
salad for two and.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
A half hours straight. Clink link clink. I was like,
how can there be that much solid in there?
Speaker 4 (04:57):
It's yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I just when I see look aroun, you see people
eating popcorns, so they're touching their mouths with their hands
and then touching everything.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
That's all I think about.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It's so hate to ruin it for you movie people.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
But do you think those kids that work there part
time are cleaning everything?
Speaker 7 (05:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
The hack is JB.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
I hate it every time I talk about it because
I'm afraid people will start doing it. If I'm going
to the theater, I'll go online and I'll buy two
seats along the wall, and I buy two seats. I'll
go by myself, but I sell back the ticket to
the second seat when I get there, so I'm virtually
guaranteed that.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Society can sell it back.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
You can give it back like you lose like a buck,
but you can get a refund for it when you
get there.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
So everybody sits next is awful.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Really, it's terrible. Wow, just like only Tricia would think
of that.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I would have never thought of that.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It gets too people in the movie theater.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Sometimes it is very people.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, well, maybe I want to go see this now
at the theater. I'm not going with Tricia Painting. I
do something wrong, She'll yell at me.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
You can't so loud. I know you're drinking too much, right,
stop doing that, it's too loud.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Here's a question for you about it. Giv was Russell
Crowe missed? You know what I mean? Like Gladiator? Was
Russell Crowe?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Is the movie like, no, it works without him?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
It does?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's They reference uh Maximus
quite often, and they and they do a lot of
flashback scenes from the actual movie to piece to kind
of help those who didn't see maybe didn't see the
first one, but it's it's present and yeah, it works
without it.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
You'll see.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Why is the Roman emperor a bad guy, a villain?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
It's it'szel.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
Oh no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
There's two young emperors.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
They're brothers, giving away too much, right, they're nasty little brats,
you know, they said.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
As Geoffrey was in Game of Thrones.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Oh, very similar, very very similar. Yeah wow, but the
and this isn't given anything away. So do you remember
I can't remember the character's name in the first one,
the guy who uh basically bought Maximus and made him
a gladiator to earnest freedom.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Nice to him.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Yeah, yeah, that's the role.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Not the same character, but that's the same kind of
role that Denzel plays. He buys, he buys these slaves
and puts them in and makes them gladiators and very
similar role.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
I heard that he might like Oscar Buzz for his performance.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
He's good. I can see that. I could see that. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:47):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
So you had your choice between Gladiator and Wicked and
you chose right. Can I tell you that I've seen
and I can tell you that it's the Jabi and
Sandy Hour and again tomorrow from seven untill eight o'clock.
Make sure you're here for it. Grab the podcast if
you've missed out on anything today by searching the Sandy
Show on the iHeartRadio app. Search the ones and find
(08:08):
the ones labeled the JB and Sandy Show. Coming up next,
Longhorns beat the Aggies whipped them pretty good. Actually we'll
talk a little bit about that. But I got to
give some props and some love to the Aggies, which
doesn't happen very often stick and coach Sark. What a
class act he was with what he did at the
end of the game. Stay with us, it's coming up
(08:30):
on Austin's eighties station one oh three point one. Hey,
it's sandy and the holiday season is upon us. You
know the song, It's the most wonderful time of the year.
It's true you get together with friends, you get together
with family, but it's also a time to plan for
the future. For me, this means taking stock of all
the people who make my life easier. And my friend
Scott and Stacey Feller and the team at Kangaroof they
(08:53):
make that list every single time. They take care of
all my roof he needs. They've done it for years.
And you know, when you work with Kangaroof, you can
always count on great service, fair pricing, and peace of mind.
For more than twenty years, Scott and Stacy's team have
been serving Central Texas families, protecting homes, and they stand
behind their work. So as you start planning for twenty
(09:13):
twenty five and beyond, why not call my friends at Kangaroof.
They'll come out, They'll inspect your roof. You'll give you
an honest, reliable and professional recommendations about what's best for
you and your home. You can find them online at
call kingo roof dot com. Again, that's call kingo roof
dot com. All right, I've got a compliment for the
(09:35):
Aggies and that doesn't happen very often. But first of all,
how great was that game on Saturday night? Yes, d
it was amazing, amazing.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I'm not gonna lie I was.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I mean, even though the odds makers are usually right.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, what was it?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Five and a half point spread or something like that?
You're nervous. I was nervous.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I think any any Longhorn fan, I don't care how
orange your blood is, going into Kyle Field is a
kind of an X factor that most.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
People can't understand.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
And that crowd and what was at stake too, Yeah,
it just was like those kids could rise to the
either side could rise to the occasion. You know, they've
they've got the talent, but you know, SEC championship on
the line, and what's god, what makes matters worse?
Speaker 4 (10:23):
You know, Aggies have been in the SEC what ten years?
Eleven years now?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Has it been that long? I was wondering that earlier.
I wasn't sure how long they had been in.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
It something like that, and haven't been in an SEC
SEC Championship and we kind of dance in our first year.
But share what you want to share about the Aggies,
because I noticed some stuff too.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, but before that, before I share my compliment for
the Aggies, I have to tell you that. So I
watched the game at home, and Tricia and I sleep
in separate bedrooms, and there there's just a little like
office space open space between our bedrooms. Tricia's got her
TV in there. I got my TV in my room.
We're watching the game. Somehow, some way, YouTube TV in
(11:08):
Tricia's room was about ten seconds ahead of YouTube TV
and my room. Yeah, so during the game, all I
hear from the from the other room is oh my gosh,
Oh my gosh, and like.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Oh wow, holy crap.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
And I'm sitting there walking look ato my TV, waiting
to see what happened, right.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Whoa Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I'm like, oh my god. I was like, this is
going to drive me nuts. So I turned my TV off,
turn it back on. That doesn't fix the problem. Eventually,
I just watched part of the game in her room
and then her room was uncomfortable, so I came back
to my room and I just shut that. I just
shut them. So here's the compliment for the Aggies, whether
you like them or not, they they get the school
(11:56):
Spirit Award. I mean, yeah, those those Aggie fitsands are
loyal man, and they are somewhat brainwashed, and they show
up and they do their thing with a lot of pride,
even though we think it's so weird. Some of the
things that Aggies do, they don't care. And I love that.
(12:19):
I mean, Tricia pointed out, how the what's the person
that does the band what are they called the drum major?
Drum major?
Speaker 6 (12:26):
Most drum majors conduct like this and they have to
be different and they just go like this. They just
their hands together and give the meat up and down.
I've never seen that before. It's like even that's something different.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Like, I mean, everything from the yell leaders. You know,
in our eyes it's weird. Aggie don't care, doesn't care,
the whoop, the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
It's It's the hard part to swallow is how everything
is anti taxis.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Right for the Hey when they had the fight song
when they Aggie until division, that is the first time
I have ever seen television put the words of the
fight song yeah on the screen, and it was blaring, clear,
glaringly obvious how much they hate the Longhorns, just based
(13:17):
on their fight.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
Song, just about the long I was like a different
one when they played different teeth and there were weird
words in it, yeah or.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Whatever, and they they and I get it. I get
the jet, the jet, the meaning behind it. They cannot
bring themselves to say U T.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
They belonged to say.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
To you, right, Well, A and M was there first,
I mean, is that right? It was there before U T. Yeah.
I did just a little rabbit hole of Aggie traditions
just because I was kind of curious about them. But
I mean, they don't care there those kids were having them.
And it was a lot of students that's school too.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
A tons.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Did you see the guy in the sea of UT
students and the uniforms and stuff, the one guy the
orange shirt on, I mean the aggie student, the one
guy with the Home Depot orange hard hat on and
the orange the U T shirt was sticking out and
the sea of Aggie students. He was just standing in
there with their SARMs crussed.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Serious Longhorn fans ponied up and got in there. Somehow
because they were pretty aloud. I was surprised many they
really quieted long with quieted Kyle Field that more than
I've probably ever heard on a couple of plays. Yeah yeah,
like that one foot in the end zone in the
corner you know that catch, oh.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
That they looked at over and over.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Yeah, like that place was just like go back.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I already watched the highlights on Sports Center or ESPN whatever,
the full highlights like three times and just listened how
quiet it is when he catches that ball, I know.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
And then I was when they ruled it that was
a touchdown. I was like, oh, dear guy, Theaggies are
gonna go nuts. They're going to drive tractors onto the field.
There's gonna be big problems here. But I mean, I mean,
but coach Sarkisian is a class act and did a
great job. If he watched the games earlier in the day.
(15:21):
There were some problems after Michigan Ohio State with Michigan
wanting to stick their flag into Ohio State. You can
think Lake Travis graduate Baker Mayfield for that tradition. He's
the one he started that. He's the one that started
all that and got away and so now so Ohio
(15:45):
State and Michigan went at it, and then it happened again.
I believe it in Ariostota Arizona State Utah game, I'm
not sure. And then at the end of the long
was it USC. There's USC, Notre Dame. But at the
end of the game they there was like three or
four longhorns standing on that aggie logo at the center
(16:07):
of the field, and one of them was like kicking
his feet, you know, dragging his beat on the logo,
and coach Shark came over. He's like, no, no, no,
we're not doing that. And those kids listened to him,
and that showed they respected him, whereas the kids at
Michigan and Ohio State didn't listen to anybody.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Now, that fight went on for ten minutes, ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, the cops pepper sprayed some of the players like
that was that was huge, man.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
So I had watched a lot of those you know,
highlights all day and saw like three or four of
those fights break out at different games like you're talking about,
and at the end of the thing, I was going,
don't mess with Kyle Field. I was literally thinking that,
like this rivalry's got enough action on it.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Don't like you wouldn't get out of there alive.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Oh no, not at all.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
And you see they had police officers standing on the
logo too. I'm sure simply because of what they saw
happened in games earlier in the day. They're like, this
can't be a thing.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Yeah, it makes me wonder if before the game coach
are at halftime or something. Coach Sarkisian said, don't do that,
do you know what I mean? Don't act a fool.
You won the game, move on, And that's what happened.
But Longhorns look good. They played Georgia this weekend again.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
Did you guys notice though, at the end when they
were singing the UT school song, the cameras were right
in front of coach Sarkisian and quin Yours was there
and they're singing the UT song and Quinn Yours.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Clearly does not know the words to some of the
UT songs.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
Yeah, you can see he's singing along for a little
bit and then just kind of does something were with
his mouth and picks it back up a little while later.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
It was like quarterbacks should know the words.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
His mouth was shut until it was like till Gabriel
and then he's like, oh, yeah, I know that part.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
It's like in church, why you just sing the hallelujah part?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah? Right, yeah, you're right. But it was a big game.
It was a lot of fun, and I found myself.
I said to Tricia, it's like our daughter's sophomore in
high school. She just got college a couple of years away.
But I hope she goes to a school that has
that type of like you're a part of it. You know,
you go and you have the experience of going to
(18:19):
the football games and cheering and supporting, having all that stuff.
And she's kind of talking about a and m oh.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, a lot.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
It's so jealous.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
And you know, my wife and I were talking about
this when we were at Texas. I didn't know her then,
by the way, although she says we met you new
one went to the games like it was.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Just it wasn't exciting.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
It was it was just a real slump for Texas
in that era. Yeah, we'd start pre partying saying we're
going to go and then you know, by half, we're
down by twenty points. And so I didn't get that,
like that would have been fun. That would have been
really fun as a student to have this environment.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah, I had to tell I haven't told Tricia said,
I can't say this to Landry, our daughter, who's got
an interest in going to Texas A and M because
she loves the mascot the colleague. And I was like, dude,
Revelle doesn't really strike fear into anyone like.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
A wow bulldog does.
Speaker 6 (19:21):
She actually was having an argument with one of her
friends about Beavo versus Reveley, and I got sucked into
it and I was all, girl, a big.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Giant bull with horns that could for you or as Shelty.
I was like, come on. I was like, I cannot
support you.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
But then she said, yeah, but Revelrie doesn't have to
have to have guys and cowboys hats and shovels following
around to pick up its poop.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Like, but just I've always said my dream would be
to be Bevo in my next life. You go, you
get to hang out on the sidelines right here, your
food and water, you can.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Just pee and poop right there. Yeah, you're so amazing.
You're so doped up your jewel line.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah, she's completely stoned on something.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Oh great story about when she was a small. Tricia
and her mother worked at the State Capitol, and she's
going to tell you about that in just a second.
It's the JB and Sandy Our thanks for being with
us tomorrow from seven until eight o'clock and then on Wednesday,
Thursday eight until nine, Friday seven until eight. Grab the podcast.
(20:30):
If you've missed anything, to search The Sandy Show and
look for the ones labeled the JB and Sandy Show.
So Tricia is a lifelong Austin night and her mother
used to work at the State Capitol, so she spent
a lot of time there as a kid. And I'll
let you take it from there.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Trash a lot of time at the Capitol short for
a senator, and I remember we had to go up
on the weekends a lot for her to work, and
his office was on the third floor.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
And they also, I haven't been there in a while.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
They had a basement at the time, which is where
the cafeteria was, where vending machines were, So whenever I
was there, I was down in the basement a lot.
And I was so young, I was probably seven maybe
eight years old. I remember on a Saturday getting in
the elevator and not being able to reach the button
to hit the third floor to get back up to
my mom, and I flipped out, wigged out, started screaming,
(21:21):
thought I was going to die. Security guard found me
and took me up there. But during the session one weekend,
people are you know, they are working all the time
during the session, and it's a Saturday.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I go. I knew I was going to be there
all day.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
So I took my roller skates and I was down
in the basement roller skating as fast as I could,
up and down all around.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I mean those smooth floors in the Capitol.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Oh yeah, yeah, fun people were there, but it wasn't
super crowded down there. But again, I planned for the
day and I got in trouble. One of the security
guards is like, little girl, you cannot do that, And
the security guard took me back up to my mom's office.
And the senator was actually there working that day. I
was paying Peyton McKnight, yes, a senator from Tyler, and
(22:12):
he found out. He asked me why I was crying,
and I told him what happened, and he was all,
put those skates back on right now, and he took
me and we went back down there and he found
that security guard and he goes, she can skate down
here as long as.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
She yes, sir. Wow, I knew it was super cool.
But I skated for hours down there.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Did you stick your tongue out of that security guard
every time you went?
Speaker 3 (22:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
But again I was little, but I knew something. I
knew I had won something, but I was not sure
what it was.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
What I have questions now?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
What?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
So what was the security like in the building. Is
this similar to what it is now? You know, you
go through a gun scan?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
You know, No, none of that.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
No, And I haven't been there a long time, but
from what I remember, they had because anybody who worked there,
you could actually park up right there, right next to
the Capitol.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Where it's all closed off now.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah, closed off.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
But they had men who stood at those gates as
interest skate interest skates, and they recognized my mom.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
They'd be like, Hi, Sndra, come on in.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Like that's the only kind of security I remember at all.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
All the doors are open all around the Capitol.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
You could go up into the rotunda all the way
up like some of those doors weren't locked. You know,
you can go up to the very top almost where
the statue is. Yeah, I mean they had more security
there like when the session was going on, but I
mean there, it was not a high security presence.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
I went wherever I wanted in that building, you know.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
And people forget you can just go and walk around there,
you know, Yeah, that's it's open to do. But I
think you do, like now you have to go through
a metal detector. Probably, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Oh, I'm sure I'd go sit in at all the desks,
like when there was no session, I just walk around
and I'd go sit.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I just go from desk to desk to desk out
on the floor. The Senate r was just.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Were there anything in the desk or no?
Speaker 6 (24:10):
But I let I totally lit.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I mean, it was just all open. It was cool.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
I got I was so bored there so many times,
but it still was super cool.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
That is cool.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
What else is surprising that where you could access like
I don't, I don't. I guess I've just been in
the main rotunda.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Yeah, I mean, but like I said, you could go
into the Senate floor where all there, you know, you
see the buttons that they would push to vote.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
You could go there. You could go the chambers behind that.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
That's where I went once with. I was with a
friend of mine who used to be a lobbyist, and
we were down there for something. He got me a
meeting with a state rep for about something I was
working on. And then we were just walking around the
Capitol and we were in, you know, on the floor,
and he goes, come on, let's go behind. We're just
walking through the thing and we're behind the you know,
(25:01):
where the speaker is and all that, Yeah, the podium
behind that. I'm like, dude, are we are you sure
it's okay to be walking around it? Did? It felt
like you shouldn't. You shouldn't be there. But I'll tell
you something real funny too. So I've mentioned it before.
I produce a podcast for uh Chancellor can't Hands. The
(25:22):
chancellor meritis at Texas Tech and he's a former US
Congressman and state senator and all that stuff. But he
moved into a new office and his view, I mean
literally out his back window of his lobby and all
that is filled with the State Capitol. The views unbelievable.
(25:45):
And below them, although you can't see it because it's
covered with trees, is the Governor's mansion right below it.
So I took a picture of that view and posted
on social that said visiting a friend's new office. Clearly
he made better life decisions than I did, Like I'm
(26:07):
never gonna have of you that it's pretty peyton meg Night.
Did you write did he Yes?
Speaker 7 (26:13):
He did?
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That would have been my campaign slogan for him.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Did you write, does You're right?
Speaker 7 (26:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Oh my god, that's funny. Your mom always said what
a great guy he was too.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Was a lot of people don't know that Sandy wrote
that slogan for Lorenz that I'm on top of it.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
Yeah, Sandy thinks he wrote is He thinks he wrote
I got milk?
Speaker 4 (26:36):
I did?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
You also thinks a season desist from the I Got
Milk people, So I got to stop saying that I
did it.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
She also says he wrote if you lived here, you'd
be home the signs you see outside.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
J and I were together when.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
We wrote that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, come of all
kinds of things. Nag and Nita slogan give me a call,
I'll help you. The only guy, the four four four
four four four four guy I gave him.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
He was originally six six six six six six six,
and Sandy was like, no.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
No, no, no, no, no, we can't do that. Four
four four four four four. How much money do those
guys have to advertise? Oh, my god, is constantly Thomas J. Henry.
I mean, my goodness, what is their budget to advertise? Yeah,
(27:24):
I guess you gotta get word out there to get
those people to get hit by cars. Somebody told me
that a lot of those billboards and stuff that you
see are not even law firms. They're just lead generators
for law firms.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Really, But like trying to say that Thomas J. Henry
is not really an he's he's.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yeah, but some of the he's not going to represent you.
Someone in his firm is going to.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I'll tell you this. I have a friend that got
hit by a commercial truck and he hired him and
he said, they are unbelievable how they.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
My daughter had a bad car accident three and a
half years ago, and the other guy hired them and they.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Were brutal, like, oh, you're on the other side of it.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Yeah, oh man.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
They used some some stern tactics like if I'm on
that side of it, yeah, that's different.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
But I was on the receiving end like, wait a minute,
I'm trying to help you here.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
My buddy that got hit, they they've ben counseled him
to like, look, you're gonna have people following you, just
so you know, don't do anything you know that would
say that your injury is a lie. You know, like
no workout or ride a bike or you know what
I mean. Yeah, they'll be people taking photographs or video
of you. He said they were great. But anyway, we
(28:40):
got off a little off topic there, but that's what
we do here.
