Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the JB and Sandy Show podcast. You can
listen live every morning on one of three point one
in Austin, or stream the show on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
All Right, Trisha found it during the break there.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
The name of Matthew McConaughey's new book is called Poems
and Prayers if you want to check that out.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Also something if you want to check out.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Tonight is the big The biggest night for the per
said meteor shower is tonight. It's like it's been going
on for a while, but Tonight's supposed to be like
the you know at the end of a fireworks show
where they do the grand finale with all the fireworks.
That's what it's supposed to be like in the sky tonight,
with sixty or more meteor shooting by in an hour,

(00:45):
probably going to be tough to see if you're anywhere
near the city of Austin because of the city lights
and stuff. But if you're out towards you know, Lam
Passes or out that way towards Liberty Hill, or even
going the other direction towards Bass Drop and stuff, you
might have a pretty good show.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
But we're not going to see it in Austin. Right,
that's one of those things.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
When you see it, you get real excited, kind of
like you know when you see a unicycle or something.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Look a limo, Look, look, look, come in here. It's
one of those things. It's a blimp. That's another good one.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
So this is hysterical to me, and it's I can't
believe it's even still around. But AOL is shutting down
its dial up internet service.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Oh my gosh, that's a phone line.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yep. After thirty four years.

Speaker 5 (01:40):
Wow, thirty four years possibly still using it.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
They said, well, they got some numbers here if they're
not real current numbers, but as late as twenty fifteen,
so less than ten years ago. Well, ten years ago,
AOL had more than two million dial up customers. Geez,
it's crazy. It's been dropped since then. It's dropped to
the low thousands. And it's going to be discontinued on

(02:09):
September thirtieth.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
So AOL going away.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Well I'm not going away, but the dial up, I guess,
is going away.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
What happens if you go to AOL dot com. Does
anyone know, like, is it still there?

Speaker 6 (02:25):
Maybe those people are just addicted to that sound when
it Connects.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
AOL is basically a news aggregator.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Right now I'm looking at.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
I said it's gone away.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
I just saw it last week.

Speaker 6 (02:45):
I had like twenty five hours of free AOL on
a C.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
On this CD.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
I was gonna use it.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
Just not getting around to using it.

Speaker 6 (02:57):
I can't look it now, but maybe those I'll honor it.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
They should do everyone with an at aol dot com
email address a favor and tell them it's going away too,
because when you send an email I got one yesterday
from a guy I know AOL email address, people are
laughing at you.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
I'm sorry, but they are.

Speaker 6 (03:20):
Unless you had something like so good, like Bob at
aol dot com.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
I would hang on to that basic right But that
Sandy gives me crap about my Yahoo email address rightfully.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Is very dated.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
You should get a Gmail.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
But I mean, but I've had it for oh my god,
twenty five years, if not longer, I don't know. I
know I could forward it, but I like my little
Yahoo address. Is it really that there?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Do you like so much about it?

Speaker 5 (03:46):
I don't know, it's just on everything. I'm just used
to it. It's what I've always used. I have a
Gmail address too, right, every everything is on my Yahoo address.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
That reminds me Jabi, I still need you to help
me up. I've never been able to figure out if
I buy a domain, like I've bought a domain, how
I can get my email to be at that domain.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
I have never been able to figure Oh yeah, I can.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
It depends on who your provider is. It's just an
add on thing, right, But I can.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
I can never figure it out because I got my
last name and at my last name, oh yeah, yeah,
and I can't buy it. Do you remember who you
bought it through. I think it's a company called name Cheap.
I can't remember. I'd certainly tell you that it is not.
What's the go daddy one? Holy crap? Will they harass
you after you buy something from it?

Speaker 5 (04:35):
They're like LinkedIn a LinkedIn back off. They do kind
of get all over you, don't they.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
But you should be able to even if you haven't
done anything with the domain, you can use that email.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
You should be able to. That's all I really want
to do with it. Yeah, be honest with you.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
So all you AOL dial up people, you've got till
the end of September to make the switch to broadband.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Tears and sun City tonight.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Text us at seven three seven three zero one ninety
six hundred.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
All right, essentral Texas Cafe has been named the most
beloved Texas local business, and we're going to tell you
what that is in just a second. Can I bring
something up though, from just a little bit ago on
the show, you guys didn't seem real and nearly as
excited as I am about the meteor shower tonight.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Kind of no one wants to play meteors with me?
The play meteors, like no one cared, right, Jaybe, you
don't care about tonight?

Speaker 6 (05:29):
Well after, I mean you you brought it up and
then you're like, yeah, in the city, you won't be
able to see it.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
He probably can't see it, Kin, not that you got to.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Get away from the lights, right.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Right, right, right right. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
Maybe we could just jump in the truck and drive
out to the country and get a cooler and sit
and watch it when I go, Tricia, sounds fine, sounds
like something you did when you were a kid.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
I just stepped outside my grandparents back porch and stood
in the yard and saw this stuff. You kind of
turned me off to wanting to do it, because you've
kind of flim flammed to me. Last time there was
something in the sky to see.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
It was a space station.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
I get notifications on my phone from NASA when the
space station is overhead, like.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
He's keeping tabs. Sandy's turn to keep tabs on the
space station waving time.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, well, I moon them and see if they can
see it up.

Speaker 5 (06:14):
He got me and we go stand out there in
the street and we're just looking up for like ten minutes,
and he's like, there it.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Is one little star that's moving right.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
But he was trying to tell me one of the
bright stars was the space It was wrong. He was
like nine hours early, but he was acting like you
knew it all. So I don't know if I had
the sky step.

Speaker 6 (06:33):
You remember, we did step outside when the Space Shuttle
was in the atmosphere and flew across Texas and then
like we went we were at our producer's apartment in
South aust and then we walked out.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
We're like, I wonder where it is, and all of
a sudden it was like wow.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
We were like, oh my god.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
And then we went in on TV and washed it
land and like ten minutes later in Florida.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Yeah, and it was going like seventeen in miles an hour.
It's amazing across the sky. I wish they'd do that again.
So cool, that's cool. All right, you guys wanna know
what the most you guys know this, The most beloved
Texas local business is in Marble Falls, Texas, the Blue
Bonny Cafe.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Pie that came up last week too.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Didn't it.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
About it last week too?

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Because you were out Marble Falls doing your side hustle
as an interior decorator and you stopped there in a
whole pie.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
No, I wish that's what it was. I'vett oh, I'd
win a pie eating contest, there is no doubt about that.
But I see it every time, and I always think
I should stop, but I'm always on my way home
after an installer something and I'm exhausted. But I mean,
it's been years since I ate there. It was delicious

(07:50):
last time I ate there.

Speaker 6 (07:51):
Yeah, I never have sat down to eat there. I've
gotten a pie to go because.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
You got to.

Speaker 6 (07:57):
Yeah, But I mean it's just like traditional breakfast and
I'm looking at that.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I've had breakfast there. I stopped.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
I was playing golf out Marble Falls once and I
went extra early so I could stop there and have breakfast,
and it was good.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Boy. Their biscuits are really good there.

Speaker 6 (08:11):
Yeah, like here are there weekly specials, just to give
you an idea if you want to go for dinner.
Monday nights, it's a quarter smoked chicken. There you go Tuesday,
bone in chicken and dumplings. Oh, Wednesday meat loaf.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Oh yeah, it's good too.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
And they go back.

Speaker 6 (08:27):
They go back to the cord smoked chicken on Thursday night.
Friday night they go to sour cream chicken enchiladas.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
That sounds good too.

Speaker 6 (08:36):
Saturday you have a choice of a third rack of
Saint Louis smoked pork ribs or two thirds rack of
Saint Louis smoked pork ribs. And Sunday it's turky and
corn bread dressing.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
Man, I do know they also have some chicken fried
steak there, because I believe that's what I got, and
it was good.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Steaks on the Menutricia's getting it. I'm getting it.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
And they have pie happy hour, a pie happy hour.
It's brilliant.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
What is that? Just lower prices on whole pies, I
guess I don't know.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
You know any get half price slice? I don't know.
I don't know what it is, but I think it's brilliant.
They're known for their meringue, as my grandmother called them,
meringue on pie. She called it calf slabbers. But it's merangue.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
It does look like calf slabber, that's for sure.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
So it had been out there in a while.

Speaker 6 (09:25):
I wonder with all the growth, because I know Lake
LBJ has skyrocketed in population and value. I wonder, I
wonder if that marble falls is still unaffected, or if
it's booming. If you all, I mean you've been out
that way more recently, Tricia, I mean, ye, it's booming.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
I've just been driving back and forth across the bridge.
I mean, I mean, if it if it's more booming recreationally.
I don't necessarily see that, but I have an uncle
who lives out there, and I think that they're out
there a lot on the lake.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Her uncle's nickname, JB is Goodye, good good time. It's
a nickname.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
So you stumble into let's say you go into Blue
Body Cafe.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
What kind of pie are you getting? Trish?

Speaker 5 (10:09):
Oh, well, I'm probably gonna get a buttermilk pie. Buttermilk
very country, right, yeah, buttermilk pie. And if they're out
of buttermilk pie, I'm probably gonna go apple. I'm going
to go traditional old school at Blue Bonnet Cafe.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
All right.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
Do you want to know what their apple their pie
choices are?

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Oh yeah apple.

Speaker 6 (10:30):
You can have a no sugar added apple, cherry peach,
pecan fudge, chocolate cream, chocolate meringue, German chocolate cream, peanut
butter cream, banana cream, lemon cream, lemon meringue, coconut cream,
or coconut meringue.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
I go coconut cream.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
I mean peanut butter sounds delish.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
I'm not a pie guy at all, but I'd go
coconut cream on that one.

Speaker 6 (10:57):
GB I would I would get I'm not a dessert person,
but I would firm my wife because it gives her
that funny feeling.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
I would go with the German chocolate cream.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh, you know what's speaking of desserts, you know what's
funny is so I think we told you guys yesterday
there was a big radio conference in Austin and a
bunch of guys from all over the country. You know
what's difficult to do is explaining Trestlecha's cake. It's a
soggy cake. It has no structure. Yeah, it's moist and

(11:33):
it's but it's really good.

Speaker 6 (11:34):
It won't stay on a fork. You don't really chew it.
I can't suck it through a straw. It's very different.
Just just try it. You'll like it. Yeah, it's really good.
It's really good. But some guys did try it and
they did like it.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
