Speaker 1 (00:00):
Text us at seven three, seven, three zero one ninety
six hundred. This is the JB and Sandy Show on
Austin's eighty station one O three point one. We mentioned
a little bit ago that we feel like we've got
our city back with ACL and F one behind us
this week. But JB was he, guys, he goes think
(00:21):
about this. I know he's like, I know the answer.
I want you guys to think about. What was the question, Jamy?
What F one visitors wanted to do in Texas?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah it's it's maybe not exactly what you think, but
what did they want to do in Austin besides go
to the F one race?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
All right?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
What was wildly popper popular? Especially with European I bet
some of the girls wanted to hook up with the cowboy.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I feel like number one is want to eat some barbecue.
Oh you're in Austin, Texas, barbecue or Caseo.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Barbecue, very very popular.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
And I I can't tell you how many tourists I
saw with brand new cowboy hats and boots in Congress. Yeah,
you know, they all bought hats and boots. I was like, man,
I saw one, and I get that that's normal. I
stole a line from Rip and Yellowstone.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I saw a guy wearing what do you call those things,
the cowboy necklace, a bolero or a you know that's
like a stone or something. I saw a guy wearing
one and it was kind of halfway down his shirt
and I walked out.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I go, that's not how you wear that.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
All them out, Okay, So it's it's not exactly what
you think any other guesses.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
People wanted to do while they're here in.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Austin, Austin or in Texas is the question. In Austin,
but in and around Austin. It may have been in
the burbs, but in and around here Barton Springs, for sure,
Barton Springs. They probably wanted to see all cattle or something.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Yeah, yeah, South Congress, if they're down there, might probably
already there because they got their hats.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Over.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I give what is happening. They wanted to go to
gun ranges and fire guns.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Oh yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
They wanted to fire handguns and AK forty seven's, and
yes you can go rent those at gun ranges and
fire them.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, AK forty.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
That's what a lot of people wanted to do when
in Texas was go shoot guns.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
That tracks perfectly with a story of years ago. I
met these guys. I was traveling in Europe and I
was in Barcelona and I met these Dutch guys and
they were crew of guys and I was by myself
and we hung out for like three or four days
and we stayed in touch. In fact, we actually and
Tricia met them when we went to the Netherlands and
we met up with them. Well, they came here once,
(02:52):
big gaggle of Dutch dudes. Funny shoes, the whole thing.
You can always shoes, but you can always tell a
European they wear weird shoes.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
They just did. But that's what they wanted to do.
They were like the men sometimes wear mess shirts too. Yeah, yeah,
no known reason that that's what they wanted to do.
They wanted to shoot guns.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And so I took them to Red's Gun indoor gun
range at the Y and Oak Hill, and they had
all They couldn't believe you could do it.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
They could not.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Ever touch the gun before, no no training whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Just hand here you got anybody.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
They did have one of the guys from the from
Reds come in and give them a quick show them
if right, But they were absent.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
There's Conecticut in the gun range. You don't want to
mess that up. True, But they were blown away that
you could do that.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And at the time we were living on Lake Travis,
and I took him out on the boat and they
were like, so, how long does it take to get
your license?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I was like, you don't need a license?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Goes what like, you don't have to take any classes
or study or pass a test, and like, nope, I
just have to have the money to buy a boat.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Rent a boat, buy a boat. They couldn't believe that either.
It does sound that sounds ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
They're like, this is the greatest in the world. I got, Yeah,
pretty great here. But so I guess. You know, there's
some gun ranges in Austin that are fancy, like country
like country clubs, you know. Yeah, I mean they've got
they've got lounges and it's not like reds.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
We go in there and just bang away and leave.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I've never shot a gun inside. Every time I've shot again,
it's just been outside at like bottles or you know
what I mean, an outside range.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, to our fancy Wait a minute, you.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Guys were on inside when you took your gun safety classes.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
We're outside, we're shooting it at the sight of a
big giant dirt clop.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Now I took when I got my concealed it was
it was an outdoor range.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
It was.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
It was the same kind of targets, Yeah, but a
big mound behind it.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
What was the outdoors Jabe? How long did the shooting
part take us? I'm gonna take mine online.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
It's it's it's like the last hour of it just
to go through everybody.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
But actually you shoot, what is it a couple of minutes? Yeah,
you shoot from very close range.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You don't have to shoot from very far because different
distances for handguns, you're you're likely to be within fifteen
feet or closer, you know, So I think that's maybe
the furthest back was like fifteen twenty feet. But you
do need to you need to score. Well, you can't
just shoot all Willy million.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Pass And didn't you say that just having taken the class,
if god forbid you ever had to use your firearm,
just having taken the class can save you a tremendous
amount of hassle after the.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, the class. The class really teaches you to only
use this if your life is truly threatened. Otherwise you're
going to be tied up in court forever. It's going
to cost you. Even if you're completely innocent. Someone breaks
into your home, you shoot them. He said, You're going
to spend twenty grand defending yourself, so your life better
(06:21):
be on the line. And it gives you and it
really makes you think. So think about it. People get
a conceal and then they're like, if someone's breaking into
my truck out front, it's a truck, it's insure, is
it worth? Is it worth shooting someone? Or if someone's
running out of your house with a television one, you've
got homeowner's insurance more than likely. And do you want
(06:44):
to get all tangled up in court over a TV
or a necklace or something. It's just it really makes
you think. And the laws. The laws are also very
different day versus night. Now you're much more likely to
be found in defending yourself at night versus during the day.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I mean, yeah, there's some really interesting stuff I recommend
people take. Even if you don't want to carry. You know,
if you have a gun in your home, you should
take the classes.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It's it's fascinating so a good weekend for the gun
Ranges in Austin for all the eurosy Oh yeah, shoot Shoot.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Austin dot com.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
If you're just joining us, make sure you grab the
podcast version of the show. Search JB and Sandy on
the iHeartRadio app. You know here we are Austin, Texas,
where Longhorn fans. We support the Longhorns, We keep up
to day with them. They play three point fifteen this weekend.
It's on the SEC network at Mississippi State. But we've
got a lot of people around here that are Red
(07:50):
Raiders as well, Texas Tech Red Raiders and a tradition
at Texas Tech is no more. JB did a little
bit of the research into the history of the tortilla tossing,
which has now been banned at the Jones in Lubbock.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Coincidentally, they lost. They were on a hot streak. Where
were they seven and zero something like that? Lost Arizona
State over the weekend and.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Then no tortilla first game with right now that.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
One was on the roactly. I don't know if they
do it on the road. That was just home games.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Home games. That was they'd probably do it at home.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
So what's the history of that. Yeah, I was wondering
about that. I didn't know, and I've never asked a
Red Raider, but I guess in the eighties, up until
like ninety or so, they were at the kickoff, they
were throwing like cup lids right at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
That was sort of the tradition.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And then in a game in nineteen ninety two, they
were playing the Aggies in Lubbock, and a sportscaster I
don't know which one remarked that all there was in
Lubbock was a tortilla factory. Game on that was that
is all it's yeah, yeah, and then it became tortillas.
So that's when it started nineteen ninety two at the
(09:07):
Texas Tech Texas A and M game.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
And did someone take up the cause of ending the
tortilla toss?
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Yeah, here's what did you find out, JB? Because I
know what I heard.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Why they ended it? Why they ended it?
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Remember when Texas got in so much trouble for throwing
all the crap on the field last season?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yes, and that was that was yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
And Sarkesian was made a walked over and shook his
finger at the at the crowd and then they were
fined all this money. So apparently when they decided to
make the rule that nothing getting thrown on the field,
they made an exception for the tradition of the tortilla
toss at Tech. But then those people screwed it up
because they were continuing to throw tortillas even after kickoff.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Oh okay, so they said prior to kick offf throw
all the tortillas.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
That's what that sprawled since the eighties or nineties when
they started throwing and it was always just a kickoff
and it stopped. But for some reason this year the
kids just kept throwing them on the field and kept
getting kept getting fined.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
You never heard of a tortilla hurting anybody.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Writers like, are they throwing them in their eye? What's happening?
What's the big deal? It's just getting in the way.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
It's silly.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
It's not as weird as the Detroit Red Wings and
their tradition of what they throw on the octopus?
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Right, octopus? What do you mean? Octopus? Lively? Octopus? Octopus?
Did your grandma say octopus or your dad or something?
My great grandmother.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
People would buy live octopuses, not live, I mean they
you buy them frozen. Then you thaw them out, but
like a yeah, a big octopus and they would throw
them on the ice.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I don't know how that tradition started, but it's a funny.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Well I've got a little info here because it has
because an octopus has how many arms? Eight arms that
symbolize is one of the eight wins needed at the
time to win the Stanley Cup.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
This was in nineteen fifty two, and that's why it's stuck. Gotcha?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Hey, reminder, Texas Stars are back on Friday at the
AGB Center.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Are you so exciting? Bring?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I'm just thinking, like, what would Longhorn fan throw Around's?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
No something, cow chips, cop batties, that's true.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I was thinking a little something, a little more sophisticated,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
They toss caviar or something like that.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, we do get we do get teased and called
tea SIPs. Yeah we should maybe we bust out a
tea set.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Throw up bags of tea bags, threw up bags of
t that'd be pretty good, be pretty funny. Again, A
reminder grab the podcast version of the show coming up next.
You gotta stick around for this because I how do
I put this? I had really hard to tell Trisha's
something that's exciting for her on our walk yesterday and
(12:08):
I didn't get a chance to tell her, And I
tell her what it is, and I'll tell her what
it is and why I didn't get a chance to
tell him.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Coming up next three to one Austin dot Com.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Hey, it's sandy for Kangaroof and it's October in Central Texas.

Find them online at call kangaroof dot com. Yesterday, I
(13:25):
was excited to tell Tricia that something was arriving at
the house that she's very excited about getting that I
got for her. And we were Trishian and I on
our walk. I'll tell you what it was in just
a second, but I was gonna Triciaan and I are walkers.
We walked a few miles every day, and we spent
a lot of time ar Tricia spends a lot of
(13:46):
time talking during the walk, and so on the walk,
I have a lot of time to think, and I'm like,
oh my gosh. I'm like, oh my gosh, I need
to tell Tricia about this exciting thing that she was
really looking forward to is arriving today at the house.
But I didn't tell her what it was because in
(14:06):
the time that Tricia started talking on our walk until
she finished talking on our walk, I forgot.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
That I wanted to tell her that. God, don't y'all
walk like a couple hours. We walked about an hour.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah, it's like four miles, and I just forgot what
it was because ridiculous, Christy. You know how it is TV.
You just forget things, and that's it. If you don't
get it out for me. If I don't get it
out within thirty seconds of thinking it, it's gone in
my brain.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
So you're saying that you were unable to tell me
something because I never stopped talking while we were walking.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Well, no, no, no, you stopped talking. But the time
from which you started to the time that you end
was so long that I forgot what I was wanted
to tell you.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
I feel like this has come up before, this has
been a problem before.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I mean, Tricia has a lot of words.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
You. I should just record it, record it on your
phone and then do an AI summer after the walk.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I should.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Maybe Sandy would be perfectly happy if we walked for
one hour in total silence.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Total silence.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
You know when you're you know, when you go out
to dinner with somebody and you feel like you have
to carry the conversation, like you'll say something to them
and they'll respond or answer it and then silence on there.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
And you know what I mean, conversations like a volley.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
I say something, you say something, but there's that one
person who just drops it. That's Sandy. When we're walking,
I'll say something, we'll he'll say something and then silence
for like an awkward period of time.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Well, I'll think I'll maybe be interested in this, so
I'll say this.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I think we need to be more like the Europeans,
where couples tend to sit side by side instead of
across from each other and just people watch.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I noticed that a lot of the outdoor caf a
very bud and sissy style. They sit, they sit side
by side and they don't talk.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
They just you know type teacher, you just you take
it in. Yeah, parallel play for the children.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, I'm off for that too, But I don't know.
Sitting on the same side as each other at a
booth is kind of weird. It's weird. We did that
to Landry.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
She got it to go to the bathroom one time
at a restaurant and we moved to the same side
and she came out.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
She's like, you stop, what are y'all doing trica. Do
you want to know what arrived yesterday?

Times Games, featuring wordle connections and exclusive content for both
beginners and expert sollers. Tricia is a big time word
(16:58):
game player. She loves crossword, She loves seeking finds. She
likes the like all the puzzles. I do not care
for Sudoku or how we say that, do not like
that game? I think because I have a mental block
against numbers. But I'm going to do the other stuff.

She's she grew up very tomboyish. She's not real needy,

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Me to shut up. I would just say, Tricia and

your girlfriends and all that, but with me, maybe give
you a little some spots to jump in.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Oh yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
They wanted to fire handguns and AK forty seven's, and
yes you can go rent those at gun ranges and
fire them.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, AK forty.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
That's what a lot of people wanted to do when
in Texas was go shoot guns.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
That tracks perfectly with a story of years ago. I
met these guys. I was traveling in Europe and I
was in Barcelona and I met these Dutch guys and
they were crew of guys and I was by myself
and we hung out for like three or four days
and we stayed in touch. In fact, we actually and
Tricia met them when we went to the Netherlands and
we met up with them. Well, they came here once,
(02:52):
big gaggle of Dutch dudes. Funny shoes, the whole thing.
You can always shoes, but you can always tell a
European they wear weird shoes.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
They just did. But that's what they wanted to do.
They were like the men sometimes wear mess shirts too. Yeah, yeah,
no known reason that that's what they wanted to do.
They wanted to shoot guns.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And so I took them to Red's Gun indoor gun
range at the Y and Oak Hill, and they had
all They couldn't believe you could do it.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
They could not.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Ever touch the gun before, no no training whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Just hand here you got anybody.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
They did have one of the guys from the from
Reds come in and give them a quick show them
if right, But they were absent.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
There's Conecticut in the gun range. You don't want to
mess that up. True, But they were blown away that
you could do that.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And at the time we were living on Lake Travis,
and I took him out on the boat and they
were like, so, how long does it take to get
your license?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I was like, you don't need a license?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Goes what like, you don't have to take any classes
or study or pass a test, and like, nope, I
just have to have the money to buy a boat.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Rent a boat, buy a boat. They couldn't believe that either.
It does sound that sounds ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
They're like, this is the greatest in the world. I got, Yeah,
pretty great here. But so I guess. You know, there's
some gun ranges in Austin that are fancy, like country
like country clubs, you know. Yeah, I mean they've got
they've got lounges and it's not like reds.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
We go in there and just bang away and leave.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I've never shot a gun inside. Every time I've shot again,
it's just been outside at like bottles or you know
what I mean, an outside range.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, to our fancy Wait a minute, you.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Guys were on inside when you took your gun safety classes.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
We're outside, we're shooting it at the sight of a
big giant dirt clop.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Now I took when I got my concealed it was
it was an outdoor range.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
It was.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
It was the same kind of targets, Yeah, but a
big mound behind it.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
What was the outdoors Jabe? How long did the shooting
part take us? I'm gonna take mine online.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
It's it's it's like the last hour of it just
to go through everybody.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
But actually you shoot, what is it a couple of minutes? Yeah,
you shoot from very close range.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You don't have to shoot from very far because different
distances for handguns, you're you're likely to be within fifteen
feet or closer, you know, So I think that's maybe
the furthest back was like fifteen twenty feet. But you
do need to you need to score. Well, you can't
just shoot all Willy million.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Pass And didn't you say that just having taken the class,
if god forbid you ever had to use your firearm,
just having taken the class can save you a tremendous
amount of hassle after the.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, the class. The class really teaches you to only
use this if your life is truly threatened. Otherwise you're
going to be tied up in court forever. It's going
to cost you. Even if you're completely innocent. Someone breaks
into your home, you shoot them. He said, You're going
to spend twenty grand defending yourself, so your life better
(06:21):
be on the line. And it gives you and it
really makes you think. So think about it. People get
a conceal and then they're like, if someone's breaking into
my truck out front, it's a truck, it's insure, is
it worth? Is it worth shooting someone? Or if someone's
running out of your house with a television one, you've
got homeowner's insurance more than likely. And do you want
(06:44):
to get all tangled up in court over a TV
or a necklace or something. It's just it really makes
you think. And the laws. The laws are also very
different day versus night. Now you're much more likely to
be found in defending yourself at night versus during the day.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I mean, yeah, there's some really interesting stuff I recommend
people take. Even if you don't want to carry. You know,
if you have a gun in your home, you should
take the classes.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
It's it's fascinating so a good weekend for the gun
Ranges in Austin for all the eurosy Oh yeah, shoot Shoot.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Austin dot com.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
If you're just joining us, make sure you grab the
podcast version of the show. Search JB and Sandy on
the iHeartRadio app. You know here we are Austin, Texas,
where Longhorn fans. We support the Longhorns, We keep up
to day with them. They play three point fifteen this weekend.
It's on the SEC network at Mississippi State. But we've
got a lot of people around here that are Red
(07:50):
Raiders as well, Texas Tech Red Raiders and a tradition
at Texas Tech is no more. JB did a little
bit of the research into the history of the tortilla tossing,
which has now been banned at the Jones in Lubbock.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Coincidentally, they lost. They were on a hot streak. Where
were they seven and zero something like that? Lost Arizona
State over the weekend and.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Then no tortilla first game with right now that.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
One was on the roactly. I don't know if they
do it on the road. That was just home games.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Home games. That was they'd probably do it at home.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
So what's the history of that. Yeah, I was wondering
about that. I didn't know, and I've never asked a
Red Raider, but I guess in the eighties, up until
like ninety or so, they were at the kickoff, they
were throwing like cup lids right at the beginning.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
That was sort of the tradition.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And then in a game in nineteen ninety two, they
were playing the Aggies in Lubbock, and a sportscaster I
don't know which one remarked that all there was in
Lubbock was a tortilla factory. Game on that was that
is all it's yeah, yeah, and then it became tortillas.
So that's when it started nineteen ninety two at the
(09:07):
Texas Tech Texas A and M game.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
And did someone take up the cause of ending the
tortilla toss?
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Yeah, here's what did you find out, JB? Because I
know what I heard.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Why they ended it? Why they ended it?
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Remember when Texas got in so much trouble for throwing
all the crap on the field last season?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yes, and that was that was yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
And Sarkesian was made a walked over and shook his
finger at the at the crowd and then they were
fined all this money. So apparently when they decided to
make the rule that nothing getting thrown on the field,
they made an exception for the tradition of the tortilla
toss at Tech. But then those people screwed it up
because they were continuing to throw tortillas even after kickoff.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Oh okay, so they said prior to kick offf throw
all the tortillas.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
That's what that sprawled since the eighties or nineties when
they started throwing and it was always just a kickoff
and it stopped. But for some reason this year the
kids just kept throwing them on the field and kept
getting kept getting fined.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
You never heard of a tortilla hurting anybody.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Writers like, are they throwing them in their eye? What's happening?
What's the big deal? It's just getting in the way.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
It's silly.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
It's not as weird as the Detroit Red Wings and
their tradition of what they throw on the octopus?
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Right, octopus? What do you mean? Octopus? Lively? Octopus? Octopus?
Did your grandma say octopus or your dad or something?
My great grandmother.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
People would buy live octopuses, not live, I mean they
you buy them frozen. Then you thaw them out, but
like a yeah, a big octopus and they would throw
them on the ice.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I don't know how that tradition started, but it's a funny.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Well I've got a little info here because it has
because an octopus has how many arms? Eight arms that
symbolize is one of the eight wins needed at the
time to win the Stanley Cup.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
This was in nineteen fifty two, and that's why it's stuck. Gotcha?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Hey, reminder, Texas Stars are back on Friday at the
AGB Center.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Are you so exciting? Bring?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I'm just thinking, like, what would Longhorn fan throw Around's?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
No something, cow chips, cop batties, that's true.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I was thinking a little something, a little more sophisticated,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
They toss caviar or something like that.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, we do get we do get teased and called
tea SIPs. Yeah we should maybe we bust out a
tea set.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Throw up bags of tea bags, threw up bags of
t that'd be pretty good, be pretty funny. Again, A
reminder grab the podcast version of the show coming up next.
You gotta stick around for this because I how do
I put this? I had really hard to tell Trisha's
something that's exciting for her on our walk yesterday and
(12:08):
I didn't get a chance to tell her, And I
tell her what it is, and I'll tell her what
it is and why I didn't get a chance to
tell him.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Coming up next three to one Austin dot Com.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Hey, it's sandy for Kangaroof and it's October in Central Texas.
That means some cooler weather, it means costumes and for
most people, October means tricks or treats. But for my
friends Scott and Stacy Feller and their team at Kangaroof,
October is like every other month. It's all treats, no tricks.

local roofing company and all for a great reason. Whether
it's installs, repairs, whatever, they do great work and they
always stand behind it. Kngar's roof process very professional. You'll

call my friend Scott and Stacy. Halloween is coming and
you know with kangaroof you can always count on all treats,
no tricks. Give them a call, they'll hop to it.
Find them online at call kangaroof dot com. Yesterday, I
(13:25):
was excited to tell Tricia that something was arriving at
the house that she's very excited about getting that I
got for her. And we were Trishian and I on
our walk. I'll tell you what it was in just
a second, but I was gonna Triciaan and I are walkers.
We walked a few miles every day, and we spent
a lot of time ar Tricia spends a lot of
(13:46):
time talking during the walk, and so on the walk,
I have a lot of time to think, and I'm like,
oh my gosh. I'm like, oh my gosh, I need
to tell Tricia about this exciting thing that she was
really looking forward to is arriving today at the house.
But I didn't tell her what it was because in
(14:06):
the time that Tricia started talking on our walk until
she finished talking on our walk, I forgot.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
That I wanted to tell her that. God, don't y'all
walk like a couple hours. We walked about an hour.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah, it's like four miles, and I just forgot what
it was because ridiculous, Christy. You know how it is TV.
You just forget things, and that's it. If you don't
get it out for me. If I don't get it
out within thirty seconds of thinking it, it's gone in
my brain.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
So you're saying that you were unable to tell me
something because I never stopped talking while we were walking.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Well, no, no, no, you stopped talking. But the time
from which you started to the time that you end
was so long that I forgot what I was wanted
to tell you.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
I feel like this has come up before, this has
been a problem before.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
I mean, Tricia has a lot of words.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
You. I should just record it, record it on your
phone and then do an AI summer after the walk.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I should.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
Maybe Sandy would be perfectly happy if we walked for
one hour in total silence.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Total silence.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
You know when you're you know, when you go out
to dinner with somebody and you feel like you have
to carry the conversation, like you'll say something to them
and they'll respond or answer it and then silence on there.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
And you know what I mean, conversations like a volley.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
I say something, you say something, but there's that one
person who just drops it. That's Sandy. When we're walking,
I'll say something, we'll he'll say something and then silence
for like an awkward period of time.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Well, I'll think I'll maybe be interested in this, so
I'll say this.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I think we need to be more like the Europeans,
where couples tend to sit side by side instead of
across from each other and just people watch.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I noticed that a lot of the outdoor caf a
very bud and sissy style. They sit, they sit side
by side and they don't talk.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
They just you know type teacher, you just you take
it in. Yeah, parallel play for the children.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, I'm off for that too, But I don't know.
Sitting on the same side as each other at a
booth is kind of weird. It's weird. We did that
to Landry.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
She got it to go to the bathroom one time
at a restaurant and we moved to the same side
and she came out.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
She's like, you stop, what are y'all doing trica. Do
you want to know what arrived yesterday?
Speaker 2 (16:28):

Times Games, featuring wordle connections and exclusive content for both

(16:58):
game player. She loves crossword, She loves seeking finds. She
likes the like all the puzzles. I do not care
for Sudoku or how we say that, do not like
that game? I think because I have a mental block
against numbers. But I'm going to do the other stuff.

I love them.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Well. They say it's good for the brain. Now that
you're a senior st I know.

like I want it now. I feel like if you
have it, it's I feel like I want it now. Okay,
but it counts for Christmas medium. Okay, you're gonna be
sitting there all sad on Christmas morning. I have nothing
to open, all right, So next time you and I walk,

Speaker 3 (17:44):
Jbi, I don't know. Is Aaron real wordy? Your wife?

No, she's she is not a typical female at all.
She's she grew up very tomboyish. She's not real needy,
she's not she's just talkie. Oh yeah, my wife's not
real talking and probably sometimes she just tells.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Me to shut up. I would just say, Tricia and
wrapping this up. You out of how you are with
your girlfriends and all that, but with me, maybe give
you a little some spots to jump in.

You're right, justp I do.

I do.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
That's what just was explaining.

I'll be COOL'L be silent for a good like three
minutes and then it's just awkward.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
So I'll go. Let's see if he wants to talk
about this, all right.
