Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're going to bring up something here.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It happened late last week and it was like one
of those situations where you go, hey, table this. This
was an off air conversation conversation. And for those of
you listening, I'm JB. And I'm just stepping in here
for an hour a day. And Sandy and I worked
together for eighteen years, and Sandy and Tricia had been
doing this show for some time. Right, married couple, Halleen,
(00:24):
You have been married now sixteen six years, which is hey,
this day and age. That's pretty damn good, right, right,
But you guys were having a conversation off the air,
and I said, stop, I want you guys to have
this conversation on the air because there's there's some factors
here that are pretty interesting to me and I think
the listeners will find it interesting. So, you guys have
(00:48):
been together sixteen years, like I said, long time this
Day and age, and you guys have made this new
commitment to go on daily walks, which I think is
is cool, like four and a half miles, Like that's
that's a good hour and a half at least, right, Yeah, Yeah,
that's a big commitment, right, And so you're doing this
(01:10):
every day, and and then you were talking about how
it's been nice, it's been really nice doing this. And
then I'm going to say the last thing Sandy said,
and I said, stop, you got to do this on
the radio. So sixteen years of marriage. What Sandy said
(01:31):
late last week Thursday or Friday, he said, you know,
these last couple of years of marriage have been really great, enjoyable, enjoyable, enjoyable,
to which Tricia was like, wait, hey.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
What I got two years?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
What god out of sixteen out together for twenty I.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Made them pause and table this conversation and revive it
right here, right now. So co back, Trisha, what is
your immediate thought when you heard the last couple of
years have just been great?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Right?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
The last couple of years of a twenty one year relationship?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Sixteen years? I mean, who what is?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
What are your feelings for the fourteen before these last two?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Were you just in hell?
Speaker 5 (02:22):
I've just been hoping they would get good like these
two have been. Here's what I look, they've been more
so we we went for those fourteen years enjoyable. What
I was saying is these last couple of years have
been more enjoyable.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I don't know that important part of that sentence.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
I mean, I just enjoyed the us being married more
than I used to, which is a good thing, right,
because a lot of people at this point in their
marriage is like, it's usually the opposite, it's usually the
other way around, right, little fatigue, Right, Yes.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Dude, it took us this long to get into a rhythm.
My god, I'm surprised we made you.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Know.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
You lie to your friends, and I'll lie to mine,
but let's not lie to one another. There were some
years that were not enjoyable.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Oh absolutely, I won thousand percent agree with that.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
There were more than two years or three years that
were not very enjoyable.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I agree, But I I was expecting it.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I didn't expect your enjoyable time to be so short.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I think that maybe was with I would say maybe
the last four or five six.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Maybe something like that.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
It was just an incredibly small period of time that
you have been enjoying.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Our Let's let's let me dig a little.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
You guys said you can find your own boundaries what
you want to share and don't a chair. Let's start
with you, Sandy, since you initiated this, what is the
what and you want to go into great detail, you
can be very general. What was the great what was
the turning point a couple of years ago? Go, m
it's a hard thing. It's a hard question. I understand
(04:04):
it is.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
That's a great I don't know. I don't know what
the exact tipping point of that was. I think I
know where it all started, and it was and it
just took to like a so when I quit drinking,
that was probably the best start of it. But then
even afterwards, that's a long time ago, right, But here's
what I'm saying, though, is after if you've been with
someone that drank heavily for a long time and then
(04:27):
quit drinking, it's pretty miserable for a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
With that person because they're readjusting realigning to their new world.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Right, right, right.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
But also the spouse of the person who stopped drinking,
it takes a little bit of time to be like, Okay,
this seems to be sticking, you know what.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I mean, Like you're back.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
You don't immediately relax just because it's been a year
or two years or something like that.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Well, you know, it's his commitment.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, Yeah, all of that and so your attitude is
chained and then you had picked up on her changes.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I got it. I think I know. Okay, I think
I know what the change was. Tricia. When did you
start going to see doctor Kansas.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yeah, hormone therapy. Yes, therapy kicked in and I said
yes to doing that thing.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
That's no, that's huge, that's huge. Getting your hormones back
in balance. That changes you know, bomb chicken right, Yes.
Speaker 6 (05:31):
A hormone that It's funny because uh, obviously when like
viagress cialis and all this, I'm jumping a little ahead.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I'm not saying that's what changed anything for Sandy.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
When when when guys got back into the game at
an older age that was very public, Yes, like it
was very public. Now there's a lot of options for
women to get them hormones and why I get that
feeling again, but that is not as public a thing. No,
probably probably because all those other guys, those pills for
(06:07):
guys advertise on sports television.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
You can't get away from it.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
That's true.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
So I think, real quick, can we just tell people
what what it is? Like I said, doctor Kansas, and
this is this is like for sure you get these
pellets put in your booty that release different.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Things rights and replacement therapy.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Yes right, yeah, yeah, and it makes you horny again.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
That wasn't the only issue.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Well, that's what it does.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It's definitely what oh.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Tricious goll going wild again. I can't get her off
the cap pony outside of Walmart.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
When I first got them, Sandy, I had to call
the doctor and I was like, I think you put
too much in.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
This is too much.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I don't know how to control it.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Sandy was sneaking out of the house in the mornings
before I woke up. You gotta you gotta be careful
with this stuff. I suggest you start alone and build up.
You don't go high and try and come down.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Okay, I'm not saying that this is the only thing
that's gotten. It's obviously a big picture thing with a
lot of stuff over. Yeah, there's a whole lot of variables.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
But you know what I will say, I'm sorry, go ahead, JB.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I was going to say a lot of it is
Sandy and I doing the show together, because a lot
of it it like those that time during the day
that we are doing the show, like we are genuinely
laughing and cutting up, and it kind of took some
of the tension away from just like that normal crap
everyday stressors of who's going to do this?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Now, we need to pay this, I have to go
pick that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
So I think the radio show helped a lot because
we genuinely have a lot of fun when we do it.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Yeah, that's a good point. That's a very good point. Yeah,
and that's JB. And that's the when we do the
radio show, I get to.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Be in charge, which is all we freaking want.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Somehow we lose that in marriage. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Yeah, So it was the radio show and a horny thing.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
That saved our marriage.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yes, that's what it is. It's just more enjoyable. I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
I think the walking thing that we're doing, we talk,
we about things I lessen really for most of a walk,
but I let her get it out and use up
all our words, and you know, it's just it's just
been enjoyable to be Somehow we've turned this into a
bad thing to say that it's been good, enjoyable to
be married.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I know, it's a good I know. I thought it
was important to bring this up because there's a lot
of people who can completely relate. Yeah, and if they
can pick up a que or two from this, like
who knows before they abandon.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Yeah, if you walk together to go walk, walk and talk, yeah,
and talk and listen and you don't have to do
all the stupid things that they say, you know, the
therapists that they things that they say you should do
and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, times, you just got to be a nice person
to each other.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
We did the marriage therapy thing.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
I think you and I showed up twice and both
times left not speaking to each other.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
So I was like, I think.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
This is going to help us out all. No, not
at all, just chatting it up.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
But we do have the that our twenty year mark,
we are going to have the state of the marriage
address decided. Our daughter will be grown gone by then,
and we're gonna be like, so you want to keep
doing this or you want to are?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
You know, like sort of is a mutual thing. No,
nothing offensive, just yeah, like.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
You just want to go do your own thing of
living your Golden Girls complex with your girls in Dallas
and you know, I'll stay here in Austin and you know,
just dude, you know, so that's coming the marriage twenty years,
which is four years away of marriage. So yeah, very
encouraging for all of you that are I'm sure. But
(09:53):
JB saw a really cool Austin moment type of thing
last week and he's going to tell you about it,
and just second, but before we get to that, I
have to tell you guys real quick.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
So I have a friend Jamie. You may remember her.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Uh do you remember Pinky, that girl that we interviewed
for a job from South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
She was really young. She was just super funny and
we couldn't figure her out. Yes, a girl.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Yeah, she was kind of the classy version of the
hawk Tula girl, you know what I mean, all.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Girl.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
But she and I have stayed in touch and she
and her she had a girl's trip in Austin this weekend.
I didn't see her anything, but I was just texting
with her. She told me she was coming. Let me
know they were in town, and I told me what
they were going to do, and so they were on
South We said they were going to South Congress. So
I was like, make sure you go to Big Top
Candy Shop, check that out, and grab coffee at Joe's
(10:49):
because you never know what you're going to see at
Joe's Coffee on South Time. She really don't, right, I
mean you were telling us that somebody was. Did you
see the McConaughey and Woody Harrelson thing on.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
South Congress was?
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Now?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I heard about that when I was there.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
So I live in that neighborhood down off South Congress
Travis Heights, and Joe's is my hangout. And so I
was chatting with you know, the staff there, and they
were talking about how apparently McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, Matthew McConaughey,
Whatody Harrelson, we're filming something goofy. I can't remember if
(11:27):
that was Thursday or Friday. It's all kind of a blur.
Anywhow end of last week they were filming something something
up and down South Congress.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
I wonder if that's a reality show about the the
brother than possibly being brothers.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeah, I think that's what it has to do.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
So there's these rumors going around that they're actually half
brother same father.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah, and so that's part of it.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
And if that's not enough for you know, think about
it's it's fall, the weather's finally better. South Congress is booming.
People are like, oh my god, there's Matthew McConaughey and
Woody Harrelson. As if that's not enough. We talked about
it early last week, how Jack White was going to
do a pop up show at Mohawk and we went
(12:16):
on and on about that. He did another one on
South Congress at Continental Club, anything about that, and here
all they announced it. I'm getting every my days are
all getting mixed up. This must have been Friday. I
think I think I think it was Friday. I think
I saw something on Instagram like ten thirty am. They
(12:40):
said we'll start checking people in at eleven thirty, and
before you knew it, there was a line blocks.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Down the building.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
And con is not that big when it's that whole
two hundred maybe maybe, And so most of the people
didn't in there. And I went down to go do
some work at Joe's Coffee, which it's one of my
favorite places just to sit and chill, and I could
see him doing the load out, like there's this massive
(13:11):
truck and all this gear. Usually people playing Continent Club
it's pretty bare bones, like they're walking in from their
their Nissan Ultimo in the trunk right, not a big
rig and you can see him loading all this stuff.
And I'm like, that's what's so cool about Austin. Like,
(13:32):
and I know he does these pop up shows in
other cities, but to know to go to cool places
like Mohawk and Continental Club and preserve that heritage. And
this is a music town and you can get there
if you're spontaneous and show up. And he's one of
the best artists of this generation. So freaking cool. It's
(13:56):
so cool.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
That's yeah, that's one of those somebody knew something, you know,
Like I don't know where he's from.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
I shouldn't know that. I want to say Detroit, but
I don't.
Speaker 5 (14:08):
Yeah, that sounds right, But somebody knew something about Austin,
you know what I mean, legit exactly. And there's there's
I'm just saying there's some of that is lacking in
Austin right now.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Another thing that happened that you may know about over
this weekend is similarly, Miranda Lambert did a pop up
appearance at ARLN Studios Studios. So Arlen Studios, this is
the studio, like Willie's a lot of recording there, a
lot of heritage Texas stuff. It's you know where Hotel
(14:44):
Saint Cecilia is off Academy Drive, South Congress. There's that
huge parking lot behind there, and eventually that's all going
to get developed, I promise you, because it's going to
have a down to another story. But anyway, Arlen Studios,
it was their fortieth anniversary. Branda Lambert did a pop
(15:07):
up appearance there and that's it's a heritage heritage thing
that if that all gets developed, if they can do
what they did with like Broken Spoke and keep it
somehow right, it's super heritage to our music history.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
So that's like where Willy recorded stuff back in the day.
Are still and that's.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Part of why they call that Music Lane.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
So all that so they call it music Lane, but
it's just it's just douchey high end brands. But that's
part of the heritage of why they named it. If
you went through there and out the back, that's where
Arlen Studios and right behind it.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
She had full on show there, like the people came
or I just know it.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Was a pop up appearance, you know, from fortieth anniversary
of Ireland Studios.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
That's all I know, but super cool, Like we more
and more and more, more and more.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Of these cool things to help preserve our Austin music history.
I'm all in, remember what song?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
I don't remember what song they did, but I guarantee
JB or remember remember when YouTube copied the Beatles and
played on top of a rooftop in Las Vegas. I
think it was kind of a pop up thing back
in the eighties early nineties.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Maybe well they did helter skelter no from the roof
that the Beatles did it way before they did, but
they did.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Oh, just copying the style, the.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Style yeah where they played yes, where it was unannounced,
I just started playing yes, yes, yes, yes, right yeah yeah.
It wasn't a Beatles cover. It was just doing the
same style video right, just live video, yes right. I'd
never like Christa and I have talked about this before.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I don't think I've ever been at a show where
a guest, surprise guest comes out.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yea, you know what I mean. You just hanging out
and it happened.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Seems to happen a lot more in the country music world,
where I guess didn't Willy show up for Chris Stapleton
or christ Apleton showed up for Willie. Recently, at acl Yeah,
I think something like that, but I've never been to
show something.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Cool like that. I've seen that, but I can't think
of one off hand.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
I used to always want to be at Pooty's out
there off of seventy one and have like Pat Green
show up and start playing, or Willy show up and
start playing, because that used to happen all the time.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Poody worked for for Willy forever. Yeah, yeah, and had
this club.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Yeah, if it was Pat Green, I'd go up masking
for my money back for the last two times I
paid to see him and he said damn drunk that
he couldn't remember, couldn't sing or remember the words. Dude,
I paid for a baby, Yeah, I paid for a babysitter.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I bought tickets. I had the ballot apart. I mean
pat On.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I mean one time, okay.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Times yeah, twice. Done with Pat Green. Done with him.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
I still don't love him.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I will never get him on.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
The CD or the stream. It's great, right, Yeah, anyway,
a little hard on Pat. They're sorry about that.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Hey, if you're just joining us, it's the JB and
Sandy Hour. Thanks for hanging out with us. If you've
been here, for the whole hour.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
We're gonna do it again tomorrow from seven until eight o'clock,
and then Wednesday and Thursday eight till nine, Friday seven eight.
I know none of you are going to remember that.
None of you will remember that. Just remember tomorrow
