You know, there's a big show tonight at the Moody Center.
Guy that's had a big year, big year and a
half or so of a jelly roll is playing at
the Moody Center tonight. That's going to be a good show.
I'm not gonna go, but that's going to be a
really good show. And Trisa love some jelly roll.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Love me some jelly roll. I love doing stories on him.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
I just think it's such a great backstory where he started,
how he started making it big, and then all the
stuff that he's doing to give back and make up
for his rocky start.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I just loved so much about him. I've seen him perform.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
He's very likable and remember that award show that was
in Austin was as a CMA's. Yeah, yeah, and that's
where I first saw him. I didn't know anything about
him before that, and I was like, WHOA, who's this yell.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
His story is that he was in a lot of
trouble as a kid and was in jail for a
lot of his youth.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I think for a lot of his youth, I think.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Selling drugs, petty things here and there. And then he
got out and started singing, made it big, and he's
never forgotten those days that he was in jail. He's
gone back to different youth detention centers and spoke to
the kids and started literacy programs and things like that.
He just really seems like, man, I've been given a
second chance and a tremendous talent.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I'm gonna I'm gonna make the most of it. And
he's a big giant man.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Yeah, And he's so grateful and weeps, he's a little
bit like Garth Bricks, cries very easily.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
He's so incredibly great.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
And he's been with this his wife, Bunny Bunny, and
she's a former sex worker. Yes, yeah, they've been together.
You probably really like her. Tritricians enamored by prostitution. I
mean it just kind of the path that you're on.
I mean, you love the song fancy you Love You
(02:23):
Love Bunny.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
One of my favorite movies for my childhood is Best
Little Whorehouse in Texas and Pretty Woman. I mean a
lot of people like Pretty Women. Las Vegas made my
stomach when I watched She.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Was a hooker, right, I think she was. That was
the deal between her and Nicholas Cage. She doesn't ask
him about his drinking and he didn't ask her about
her business.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
That was a great movie, but like physically made me
feel sick to my stomach watching it.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I watched that again.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
I don't think it's very depressing.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, So Jelly rolls at the Moody Center tonight. He'll
put on a hell of a show and be good.
And so I got a feeling you never know who's
going to show up with Jelly roll too, right, it
could be one of those shows where a big name
also shows up.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
So if you got tickets, enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Coming up on the show today, I'm gonna tell you
guys about something that man I've really I don't know
if you're like me, but there's something that's happened. Happens everywhere,
but in Austin it's really gotten big. I want to
get out and check out. I just haven't found the
time or had the energy to go do it. So
I was wondering. I'll share it with you guys what
mine is and just a little bit. But if you
(03:32):
guys have had something that has peaked your curiosity that
you just haven't done yet, all right, So we got
that coming up a little bit later on. Also, we're
going to discuss JP and I will discuss if there's
anything that we would change about the way we proposed
to our wives. Boy, there is for me, this there is.
That's a little bit later on. But next, Trisha's got
(03:52):
the story. We'd love what you have, all right.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
We got to talk about yacht rock.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
It's getting all kinds of love lately, and there is
a new documentary coming out and we're gonna hear from
Christopher Cross how he got started, because we think he's
the captain of yacht rock.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Right, Okay, all right, stay with us. Story we love
is next. It's the JB and Sandy Hour again tomorrow.
It'll be from eight until nine, same thing on Thursday.
If you can't be here for the whole hour. Grab
the podcast, search The Sandy Show on iHeartRadio app and
listen to the ones labeled the JB and Sandy Show.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Story's we lahaw all right, So yacht rock big right now?
There's a documentary coming out Christopher Cross and jay Z.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
You guys apparently a.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Lot of like not two names I ever would have
put in the same sentence. Christopher Cross did something when
jab was still a little boy holding his mama's hand.
But upcoming in the new yacht Rock, a documentary, he's
going to talk about it.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
And listen to this clip.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
He rocks, but it doesn't wrong too hard.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
The singers all seem to be saying, Hey, it's going
to be okay.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
It's perfect sitting down dancing music.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Also known as yacht rock, Steely Dan, the Doobie.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Brothers, Toto, Kenny Logans, Christopher Cross, Michael McDonald. I expected
to be totally forgotten by.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
The end of the eighties.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
The term yacht rock merged from comedy show.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
All of a sudden, this new genre we made up
started to get embraced by the world.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Ch rock.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I always thought it was kind of flattering to be
made fun of.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
I began to see that it was the kind of
beck which way to honor us?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Obviously it had made an impression on somebody.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
So the question has to be asked, who's the captain
of the yacht? On the yacht Rocket's either Christopher Cross
or Michael McDonald. Which one is captain of the yacht?
I'm gonna say Christopher Cross for sure. Christopher Cross, in
my opinion, that's tough though. That's a dupe, I know,
and he shaved the Doobie Brothers. The Doobie Brothers were
(06:03):
dead until he came along and he saved them. But
I'm going to go with Christopher Cross. I mean, rides
like the wind. I'm calling in Mexico, right, So what's up?
What's the difference between what Christopher Cross do before jay Z?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Jay Z might want to take credit for it, along
with probably all the other rappers out there. But Christopher
Cross admits in this documentary that he sold weed to
earn money to make his smash debut album back in
nineteen seventy nine. He says he financed his original songs
by selling weed. He had very successful weed business. He
bought a tape machine some consoles and invested in a
(06:38):
studio in Austin. Also, he said that he wrote right
Like the Wind, one of his biggest hits, while he
was high on acid.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Oh really, yeah, because jay Z's thing has always been
in his documentary was that he sold crack on the
corner right right right.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Christopher Cross was doing this way before jay Z ever
even got into it. But I mean, I never would
have thought that about Christopher Cross. I guess I'd really
thought about it maybe, But yeah, that's how he produced
that huge hit which launched his career, and that was Yeah,
it was self titled nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
There's been so much buzz about Armadillo lately world d Borders.
I wonder if he played there that one, because it
closed in eighty I believe maybe so, maybe so.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
But when's the new version of it? When's the pop
up happening? Does anyone remember?
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Oh, it's it's open. It is it's on South Congress. Yeah,
in the complex with the South Congress Hotel. Oh okay,
but forgot, It's just temporary. It's temporary. Yeah, I's think
through the end of the year. You know, it's just
an empty space and they just did a pop up store.
I haven't been in there. I'm assuming it's you know,
T shirts and hats from old Armadilla days, right.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Pretro worth check it out.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
So I'll watch the yacht rock documentary well too. I'm
in a huge hurry to watch it, but I'll check
it out. It's just a bunch of names that you
know and a bunch of music that you know.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I feel like you'll be like, oh, yeah, that song,
I forgot about that song. It comes out on HBO
and the twenty ninth of.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
This month, by the way, kind of frightening. How well,
how much you're gonna know's a song you haven't heard
in thirty years? Yeah right, you'll know every.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Word comes out on Thanksgiving Day, you said, Trish eight. Yeah,
all right, cool, that's the story we love. Coming up next,
there's something it happens everywhere, but it's really grown in
Austin over the years that I want to get out
and check out. I just haven't worked up the courage,
I guess, or the time, not only courage, just the
time to go do it. I'll tell you what that
(08:40):
is coming up next on Austin's AD station on three
point one. I think it was last week that JB
was telling us how much the comedy scene in Austin
has grown, like it's become a real hotbed of comics,
young comics, up and coming comics and big names.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And I think a lot of that has to do
with Joe Rogan, right.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Yeah, I think I think it started more getting real
momentum with Moon Tower Comedy Fest, which has been around
what ten years an now or so. Yeah, that's usually
in the spring, it always is in the spring, and
that started bringing more comics here.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
But yeah, the Joe Rogan effect.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
And then you know Tony Hinchcliff moved Kill Tony from
LA to here. And if you've never heard that show,
and he's obviously that more recently, that controversial guy, because
he's the one who was speaking at the Trump rally
and got people stirred up. Yeah, anyway, all us politics aside,
don't really care about that. That show, which is a
(09:41):
live podcast every Monday where two hundred plus comics put
their name in a hat to get drawn, come up
and do one new minute and then they have a
bunch of regulars. And that has spawned more clubs opening
and then the tons of open mic night not as Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
That's the thing. That's the thing that I don't know.
It's been probably a year that I've wanted to go
check out. I don't want to go up, don't get
me wrong. I do not want to participate in an
open mic night, but I want to go check it out.
I don't think I've ever done it, but I think
the people that get up and do that, boy, they
got a lot of guts, a lot of guts to
(10:23):
get up there because your bomb factor is very high
that you're not going to get any laughs.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But it's just something I've wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I don't even know where a good one to go
there everywhere if you look it up, I mean like
go to do five to one to two or something.
Every other thing going on on a Tuesday or Wednesday night,
and Austin is a is an open mic night for comics.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
So I'm just waiting to find the time to go. JD.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Would you go with me? I would go. I'd love
to do it. I was real into this in the
early nineties. It was like the heyday of you know,
evening at the improv.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, and I was.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
I was living and working in Dallas and there were
a couple of clubs that I would go to on it,
and it's so it's it's you go back and forth between,
oh my god, that was amazing, I could never do that,
and then after the next person you're like, I can
do better than that.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
A in I had no desire to do it. But
that's what you're thinking when you watch it, right.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Sandy, you have no desire to get up there and
do it. This isn't You don't want to go watch
like as a launch pad to maybe get up and
do it.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Well, I think, just by nature, I watch anything and
I want to participate in you know what I mean,
except by the choir.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
But stand up, Connie.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
That's a whole different beast than it is.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
It's really putting yourself out there to answer your question. No,
I don't think so. I don't think I would want to.
I know the guts for it, you though, I'm too fragile.
I mean, the standard jokes wouldn't work up there either.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Your your last supper across the four had joke that
wouldn't work.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
I don't think I think it would work.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I think your string art when you got up there I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
A proper comic too. My only prop is my string.
I can do all kinds of tricks with my string.
That as a sign of a bored childhood string my
string art. But Tristan, do you have anything like you're
curious about or you just want to watch.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
TV all day?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
I just want to lay around and watch TV. I
want to watch other people do funny things that make
me laugh. I don't want to try and make the
people laugh.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Well, okay, we're not saying that I want to do it.
I'm just saying to go to a to an open
mic night.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
No.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I would absolutely go to an open mic now.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
I think that would be I mean, if you get
a good person, I mean, it can be hilarious and
totally worth it. But I've been to some of those
comedy shows in the past where the whole thing was
just a bomb, you know what I mean, you kind
of you don't really know what you're going to get.
The thing that I can think of right now that
I've been saying that I want to do that you
kind of facilitated for me was my adult kickball team.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Oh yeah, yeah, I like.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
That's the closest thing I have to what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
That's all fun and games till someone pulls a hamstring.
There you go. It will happen, and it will happen
so quick.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
JV.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Tricia as bride could for as long as I've known
her that she was a great kickball player in her youth,
and she was really good. And the other day we
were walking and there was a ball got loosed from
the soccer field and it came right to Tricia and
she's going to kick it back up like this about it.
You're going to kick the crap out of this. I can't.
(13:21):
She says, she's a great kickball player. Worst kick I've
ever seen, worst kick I ever seen. Yes, it was terrible.
It was embarrassing. I started running kickkick.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Clearly don't understand the difference between a kickball and a
soccer ball, two completely different balls, two completely different kinds
of footwearball.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
That thing would have been across the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I just I think the kicking form told me a lot.
It was no not good.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Wait, I ordered a kickball. It should be here tonight.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I think this is along the same lines when I said,
Tricia K can't do a Cartwell, I don't know if
she can do a kick.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
A kickball and went a round off at the end.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I'm just saying, but you're right, JB.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I think she's going to hurt herself.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
You are going to hurt myself.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I think you will.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
You're gonna me kicking that kickball and then somebody on
an adult kickball team is going to call me and
ask me to join, which I happily will.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
And I'll say it so many times over the years.
Luckily my any acquaintances of mine don't do it anymore.
But you know, that's a.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Flag football game and Thanksgiving, yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Softball, somebody rolls an ankle, somebody pulls a hamstring.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
It just is not a.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Good idea after forty definitely fifty come on.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
And it's funny because you know, with Thanksgiving in the
flat in the football game, everyone thinks they're the Kennedys.
Where they you know what I mean, Like, yeah, you've
seen those videos of the Kennedy's, right and wherever they're
Martha's vineyard or wherever playing football, and it's this all
American game.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The rest of us are out there.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Oh there goes an ankle, Oh there's a m straight
you know what I mean? And someone gets hurt and
ruins Thanksgiving. Not as bad as Tricia ruined Thanksgiving this year,
but it's fine.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
It's gonna be fine, to be fine.
Okay, everybody ready to go.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Got all your notes jotted down and things that you
need to do the show.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Tricia, are you ready?
Speaker 4 (00:12):
I'm ready?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
JB you there, I'm.

I'm gonna say Christopher Cross for sure. Christopher Cross, in
my opinion, that's tough though. That's a dupe, I know,
and he shaved the Doobie Brothers. The Doobie Brothers were
(06:03):
dead until he came along and he saved them. But
I'm going to go with Christopher Cross. I mean, rides
like the wind. I'm calling in Mexico, right, So what's up?
What's the difference between what Christopher Cross do before jay Z?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Jay Z might want to take credit for it, along
with probably all the other rappers out there. But Christopher
Cross admits in this documentary that he sold weed to
earn money to make his smash debut album back in
nineteen seventy nine. He says he financed his original songs
by selling weed. He had very successful weed business. He
bought a tape machine some consoles and invested in a
(06:38):
studio in Austin. Also, he said that he wrote right
Like the Wind, one of his biggest hits, while he
was high on acid.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Oh really, yeah, because jay Z's thing has always been
in his documentary was that he sold crack on the
corner right right right.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Christopher Cross was doing this way before jay Z ever
even got into it. But I mean, I never would
have thought that about Christopher Cross. I guess I'd really
thought about it maybe, But yeah, that's how he produced
that huge hit which launched his career, and that was Yeah,
it was self titled nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
There's been so much buzz about Armadillo lately world d Borders.
I wonder if he played there that one, because it
closed in eighty I believe maybe so, maybe so.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
But when's the new version of it? When's the pop
up happening? Does anyone remember?
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Oh, it's it's open. It is it's on South Congress. Yeah,
in the complex with the South Congress Hotel. Oh okay,
but forgot, It's just temporary. It's temporary. Yeah, I's think
through the end of the year. You know, it's just
an empty space and they just did a pop up store.
I haven't been in there. I'm assuming it's you know,
T shirts and hats from old Armadilla days, right.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Pretro worth check it out.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
So I'll watch the yacht rock documentary well too. I'm
in a huge hurry to watch it, but I'll check
it out. It's just a bunch of names that you
know and a bunch of music that you know.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I feel like you'll be like, oh, yeah, that song,
I forgot about that song. It comes out on HBO
and the twenty ninth of.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
This month, by the way, kind of frightening. How well,
how much you're gonna know's a song you haven't heard
in thirty years? Yeah right, you'll know every.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Word comes out on Thanksgiving Day, you said, Trish eight. Yeah,
all right, cool, that's the story we love. Coming up next,
there's something it happens everywhere, but it's really grown in
Austin over the years that I want to get out
and check out. I just haven't worked up the courage,
I guess, or the time, not only courage, just the
time to go do it. I'll tell you what that
(08:40):
is coming up next on Austin's AD station on three
point one. I think it was last week that JB
was telling us how much the comedy scene in Austin
has grown, like it's become a real hotbed of comics,
young comics, up and coming comics and big names.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And I think a lot of that has to do
with Joe Rogan, right.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Yeah, I think I think it started more getting real
momentum with Moon Tower Comedy Fest, which has been around
what ten years an now or so. Yeah, that's usually
in the spring, it always is in the spring, and
that started bringing more comics here.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
But yeah, the Joe Rogan effect.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
And then you know Tony Hinchcliff moved Kill Tony from
LA to here. And if you've never heard that show,
and he's obviously that more recently, that controversial guy, because
he's the one who was speaking at the Trump rally
and got people stirred up. Yeah, anyway, all us politics aside,
don't really care about that. That show, which is a
(09:41):
live podcast every Monday where two hundred plus comics put
their name in a hat to get drawn, come up
and do one new minute and then they have a
bunch of regulars. And that has spawned more clubs opening
and then the tons of open mic night not as Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
That's the thing. That's the thing that I don't know.
It's been probably a year that I've wanted to go
check out. I don't want to go up, don't get
me wrong. I do not want to participate in an
open mic night, but I want to go check it out.
I don't think I've ever done it, but I think
the people that get up and do that, boy, they
got a lot of guts, a lot of guts to
(10:23):
get up there because your bomb factor is very high
that you're not going to get any laughs.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
But it's just something I've wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I don't even know where a good one to go
there everywhere if you look it up, I mean like
go to do five to one to two or something.
Every other thing going on on a Tuesday or Wednesday night,
and Austin is a is an open mic night for comics.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
So I'm just waiting to find the time to go. JD.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Would you go with me? I would go. I'd love
to do it. I was real into this in the
early nineties. It was like the heyday of you know,
evening at the improv.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, and I was.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
I was living and working in Dallas and there were
a couple of clubs that I would go to on it,
and it's so it's it's you go back and forth between,
oh my god, that was amazing, I could never do that,
and then after the next person you're like, I can
do better than that.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
A in I had no desire to do it. But
that's what you're thinking when you watch it, right.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Sandy, you have no desire to get up there and
do it. This isn't You don't want to go watch
like as a launch pad to maybe get up and
do it.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Well, I think, just by nature, I watch anything and
I want to participate in you know what I mean,
except by the choir.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
But stand up, Connie.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
That's a whole different beast than it is.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
It's really putting yourself out there to answer your question. No,
I don't think so. I don't think I would want to.
I know the guts for it, you though, I'm too fragile.
I mean, the standard jokes wouldn't work up there either.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Your your last supper across the four had joke that
wouldn't work.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
I don't think I think it would work.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
I think your string art when you got up there I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
A proper comic too. My only prop is my string.
I can do all kinds of tricks with my string.
That as a sign of a bored childhood string my
string art. But Tristan, do you have anything like you're
curious about or you just want to watch.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
TV all day?
Speaker 5 (12:12):
I just want to lay around and watch TV. I
want to watch other people do funny things that make
me laugh. I don't want to try and make the
people laugh.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Well, okay, we're not saying that I want to do it.
I'm just saying to go to a to an open
mic night.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
No.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I would absolutely go to an open mic now.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
I think that would be I mean, if you get
a good person, I mean, it can be hilarious and
totally worth it. But I've been to some of those
comedy shows in the past where the whole thing was
just a bomb, you know what I mean, you kind
of you don't really know what you're going to get.
The thing that I can think of right now that
I've been saying that I want to do that you
kind of facilitated for me was my adult kickball team.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Oh yeah, yeah, I like.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
That's the closest thing I have to what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
That's all fun and games till someone pulls a hamstring.
There you go. It will happen, and it will happen
so quick.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
JV.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Tricia as bride could for as long as I've known
her that she was a great kickball player in her youth,
and she was really good. And the other day we
were walking and there was a ball got loosed from
the soccer field and it came right to Tricia and
she's going to kick it back up like this about it.
You're going to kick the crap out of this. I can't.
(13:21):
She says, she's a great kickball player. Worst kick I've
ever seen, worst kick I ever seen. Yes, it was terrible.
It was embarrassing. I started running kickkick.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Clearly don't understand the difference between a kickball and a
soccer ball, two completely different balls, two completely different kinds
of footwearball.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
That thing would have been across the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I just I think the kicking form told me a lot.
It was no not good.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Wait, I ordered a kickball. It should be here tonight.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I think this is along the same lines when I said,
Tricia K can't do a Cartwell, I don't know if
she can do a kick.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
A kickball and went a round off at the end.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
I'm just saying, but you're right, JB.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I think she's going to hurt herself.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
You are going to hurt myself.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I think you will.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
You're gonna me kicking that kickball and then somebody on
an adult kickball team is going to call me and
ask me to join, which I happily will.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
And I'll say it so many times over the years.
Luckily my any acquaintances of mine don't do it anymore.
But you know, that's a.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Flag football game and Thanksgiving, yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Softball, somebody rolls an ankle, somebody pulls a hamstring.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
It just is not a.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Good idea after forty definitely fifty come on.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
And it's funny because you know, with Thanksgiving in the
flat in the football game, everyone thinks they're the Kennedys.
Where they you know what I mean, Like, yeah, you've
seen those videos of the Kennedy's, right and wherever they're
Martha's vineyard or wherever playing football, and it's this all
American game.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
The rest of us are out there.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Oh there goes an ankle, Oh there's a m straight
you know what I mean? And someone gets hurt and
ruins Thanksgiving. Not as bad as Tricia ruined Thanksgiving this year,
but it's fine.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
It's gonna be fine, to be fine.
