Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Sandy and we've made it easier for you
to listen to the radio show live from six until
ten on one oh three point one. All you have
to do is tell your smart speaker to play one
oh three to one Austin. That's it. Just say play
one oh three to one Austin. Listen every morning from
six until ten on Austin's eighties station one oh three
point one. Leg garage happened over the weekend. And how
(00:23):
long has that been going on in Austin. I can't remember.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
It's got to be over a decade. Yeah, it's a
big Yeah, it's been definitely. I remember us talking about
it on the radio way back, so maybe more like
fifteen years.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah. So for those that may not know what leg
garage is, who wants to explain it because I really
don't know that I can, Katie.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yeah I can because my wife always works it. Friends
of ours started it, you know, fifteen plus years ago
or whatever. And it's at Palmer Events Center so down
by you know, Auditorium Shores, labor Lake, and they have
all they do it twice a year, so you know,
so twice a year, all the local boutiques and shops
(01:03):
do a blowout sale to kind of flip for the season.
So they're selling all their winter stuff right now. It's
kind of weird in Austin season wise. They're selling all
the winter stuff so that they can make room in
their boutiques for all the spring stuff here coming in
the next couple of months. And everything. Things are minimum
fifty percent off, a lot of seventy five plus percent off.
(01:28):
And you know, so all these vendors are there and
you buy a ticket to go in and shop. They
actually do a VIP for the first hour I think
on Saturday to get first pick of it. It's but
it's funny too because I usually go. I'll take my
daughter down there. She's twenty three. She loves to go.
There's there's two schools of thought. Go at the beginning
(01:49):
to get the cream of the crop pick or go
at the very end when they're like, just hake it
take cause we're got to get rid of it. They
don't have room for it, and their intent is to
blow all that out so it doesn't you know, become
obsolete inventory. So at the end, in the last couple
hours on Sunday, they'll be like yeah, whatever you can
(02:09):
fit in that bag twenty dollars. Wow, I know. And
my daughter like she's such a lake rat, like she
there's one couple vendors with bikinis and she'll just like
fill up a bag, take them all. Yeah, they're like
twenty bucks and she just bought ten bikinis.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Jabie, is it all? I mean? Let me ask you
is can you get like a fish and pole at
this thing? Or is it all just chicks done?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, it's boutique. It's ninety percent more female friendly stuff.
They have been adding more guys stuff there. There are
like I always air my wife always picks up some
fviory stuff that the fitness apparel brand. Yeah, and then
there there was a vendor down there this year that
(02:53):
had a bunch of guys shirts. But and then there's
a lot of backpacks, hats, sunglasses, stuff like that. Yeah,
I'm starting to see more men's stuff that the women
go crazy because you guys love the deal, love the
deal because.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
The Adorphians right, yeah exactly, And because as everybody knows,
if somebody compliments you on the dress, the first two
things you say, if you can number one half pockets,
which is a big deal or number two? How much
it was? What the deal is that you got? I
did look it up. They've been doing le garage sell
since twenty twenty one. Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry two
(03:30):
thousand and one. It's been around. I've ever goe before
Landry was born, and I feel like it started out
somewhere off of like three sixty maybe before.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
They moved it to Palmer.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh maybe, like that's my I don't know, but they
had cool stuff and great deals.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Are you mad that you missed it, Tricia, I'm.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
A little bit.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I didn't know about it.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Well, it's twice a year, you know, just like follow
them on Instagram so you get the reminders, you know
or something. Yeah, yeah, but it's wold. My wife loves it.
She because her friends started it. She goes down there
and work every year and helps take you know, sell tickets.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Good job, Jaby put that woman to work. Well.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
She she gets paid in cash for the weekend and
spends it all like it's it's money and money out
for sure, which which is great. I mean, she has fun.
She gets to hang out with her friends for a
couple of days and they yeah, you know, let's sit
there and have some wine or something, take tickets and
then that, and then they take turn shopping and just
blowing it all.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
The greatest hustle for your regular everyday garage sale, just
like your regular white trash garage sale that you have,
is to go and get a bunch of breakfast tacos
from Rudy's and pay whatever it is you pay for them,
and then mark them up twice as much and people
will find dollar doctor peppers, you know what they meant waters. Yeah,
(04:47):
that's where you make your money. And we're gonna get
the garage sale business, Trisha. That's what we're gonna do.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
All right, Just go out mean well, they you mark
something a dime, they ask if you'll take five cents
for it, But we're gonna markt Rudy's tacos to six
by speech.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I think people are going to pay it at the
garage sale.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, they might. They might. You can find some good
stuff at garage sales. Our daughter's super into thrifting JB. Like,
she and her friends will go and they'll hit up
a couple of thrift shops or whatever, and then it's
pretty she's gotten some good stuff and she gets a
charge out of getting it and forgetting it cheap or whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
And so I'll give you I'll give you an insider
one of one that has some some good picks that
are you know some of them. There's a lot of
new vintage shops and some of them have gotten more
like collectible boot price and stuff. Yeah, but there's a
really good one at Old Turf and Lamar that all
the proceeds go to Austin Pets Alive. Oh I like that.
(05:44):
We started dropping off all our donations there since. Oh yeah, Apa,
but they you know some of that stuff just has
professionals just picking it over and then reselling it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, we found out did we have a that used
to He told us about the secret at Goodwill, Like
there's a whole screening process of the stuff that gets
collected before it actually gets put out.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah, like the stuff you drop off, Like if you
drop off at your neighborhood good Will, it doesn't go
right there. It goes through a whole sorting process. Really.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, I just know that every good Will out there'll there.
They all smell the same. They got a good Will's smell.
The clothes have a good Will smell, and you got
to wash it off before you can actually wear it.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
I need a definitive answer as whether they do wash
them before they put them out. Somebody said that they do.
I think it says if you're on their website, but
there're even a lot of product, how do they have
time to make sure it's all washed?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
And the best good wills are always outside of the
nicest neighborhoods, like the one in the Lakeway, Yeah, across
from Bella Vista or not Bellavista, whatever that neighborhood is.
You can get some fancy.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Stuff at that one, the one on Lake Austin Boulevards
in a new building. It just that well, it's nice.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
What a great business model, right, people give.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You to sell, They give you.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Your inventory and then you sell it. It's genius. It's
absolutely genius. It's the Jab and Sadi showsticker out. We've
got more coming up. Guys. Ever, you know, you know
when you're at the domain and you're just kind of
cruising up and down, looking going shopping, maybe ducking in,
getting a bite to eat or drink or something, or
going to the fancy movie theater or whatever, would you
(07:27):
ever stop and think I wonder if any of these
apartments around here have a million dollars worth of drugs
in them either. But it's the truth that Austin they
made an arrest at the apartment in the domain that
had a million dollars worth of drugs in it. They
(07:50):
found weed, they found mushrooms, LSD, weapons, ammunition, cash, shrug
distribution equipment, electronic devices, all kinds of stuff right there
in the domain.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
You just wouldn't think that, right, Yeah, I saw that
it said a bust happened in North Austin. Yeah, never
would have thought it was that it was there, right.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It's crazy. What do you call that main drag on
the depth domain?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
The original one the boulevard, Because when I would go,
if I got it, I thought, I was like, this
is my lucky shopping day. If I got a parking
spot on the boulevard instead of having to go a
side straight or in the parking garage, I get so turned.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Around in the I was just there with my daughter
a week or so ago. And anytime I go to Domain, I,
even if I try to map to where I end
up parking a mile away whatever, and I always end
up having to walk through Dick's Dick's this morning.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yep, what was always on the other side of that place?
It's so frustrating.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I haven't been the Domain in a long time. Is
it's still very uh split down the middle of like
the rich people side and the regular folk side. You
don't because the one side you had, like the Louis
Vuitton story.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
On the original, like the Boulevard, the original part of
the Domain. I feel like the new part, which isn't
really new anymore. I feel like it's more of the
mismash mishmash. It's a lot of restaurants and a lot
of hotels, hotels. I have a friend who lived in
some of those apartments in the Domain for a while,
and she was all hook up central everybody looking up
(09:32):
in her building with other people, like it is the
place to be if you're single.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Oh oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I'm gonna keep that in mind. So when you divorce
me out and going straight to the Domain.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Baby, there's two Bernie Mountain dogs and go in an apartment
at the Domain.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, that's the plan. It makes sense though, because if
you've got all those bars and restaurants and stuff, yeah,
you know you're doing pretty good with somebody like, Hey,
I just live across the street.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Just go upstairs. That would be my wife and I
met living in a downtown apartment, same apartment complex, the
same kind of thing. We'd go to the bars. We
were going to the same place afterward.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
You guys had a good rule that if you ever
broke up, who had to move out?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, she was there first. So when we started dating,
the rule was if we broke up, I had to
leave that. Wow. Hey, guys will say anything early on
to get what they want.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Deal.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
So let me ask you this, when you guys, when
you guys were dating JB. Whose time whose apartment did
you spend more time at hers or yours? Mine? By far? Really?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Really Yeah, even though her apartment was nicer, she had
nicer art and stuff. I was on the eighth floor
in the corner looking downtown. I was on the top
floor with a downtown view. It was just a little
cooler I had. I had bought it, like I had
bought all new furniture, which I had. It's kind of
(10:57):
a funny. I'll be quick with the story. But I
was working on a big radio show in Dallas. I
had already ruined my credit by twenty three and so
I moved into this apartment. I didn't have anything. I
had nothing, no bed, no desks, no couch, just there
in that little apartment with nothing, non chair, nothing. And
(11:19):
I went to one of our advertisers, Freed's furniture. I
went and I asked for Howard Freed, and I said, Howard,
I need some help. And he was like, what can
I do for you, son? And I said, well, I said,
I screwed up my credit when I was eighteen. And
it wasn't I didn't run up a bunch of debt.
I just a couple of late payments here and there.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Those will kill you, Oh my little friends, just day
late payments on your credit report will kill you. It
just it was. It was bad.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So anyway, I said, I've got a good job, I've
turned my life around, and I need to furnish an
entire apartment. I need it all. I need a bed,
I need a desk, I needed a couch, coffee table,
and a kitchen table and chairs. I need it all.
And he said, all right, here's what we're going to do.
(12:09):
He said, I'm going to co sign for you. He
did himself, wow, he and he said, you're going to
pay it off in a year, and you're going to
write you have a check book with me, because everyone
had a checkbook with him then, way back then. I mean,
you have that big thing sticking in your pocket. He said,
why don't you write me twelve checks right now, post
(12:31):
datum for each month for the next year, and we'll
get you out the door and get all this deliverty
and bought everything. Wow, and help my credit. And what
a nice guy.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Store owner made a deal. It's not all like Britain
have to go through.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Actually I found him on Facebook and sending him a
note a message last year, but I don't think he's
seen it. I haven't heard back, but I sent him
a nice note about how kind of that was.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah. Do you remember how much each check was for nothing?
It really matters.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I'm just it probably wasn't that. It was probably like
two hundred and fifty bucks or something.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
But still that's three grand, right for a year.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yeah, I mean when you got to buy all that stuff,
it's not cheap.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Yeah, you're right, that's a good story. I didn't know
that is the business still open? And I went I
went to go look it up. He had just shut down.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
He was retiring. Yeah, it had been in the family
for you know, one of those places that had been
there for seventy five years or something. He was retiring.
Speaker 1 (13:32):

in her building with other people, like it is the
place to be if you're single.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Oh oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I'm gonna keep that in mind. So when you divorce
me out and going straight to the Domain.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Baby, there's two Bernie Mountain dogs and go in an apartment
at the Domain.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah, that's the plan. It makes sense though, because if
you've got all those bars and restaurants and stuff, yeah,
you know you're doing pretty good with somebody like, Hey,
I just live across the street.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Just go upstairs. That would be my wife and I
met living in a downtown apartment, same apartment complex, the
same kind of thing. We'd go to the bars. We
were going to the same place afterward.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
You guys had a good rule that if you ever
broke up, who had to move out?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Yeah, she was there first. So when we started dating,
the rule was if we broke up, I had to
leave that. Wow. Hey, guys will say anything early on
to get what they want.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Deal.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
So let me ask you this, when you guys, when
you guys were dating JB. Whose time whose apartment did
you spend more time at hers or yours? Mine? By far? Really?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Really Yeah, even though her apartment was nicer, she had
nicer art and stuff. I was on the eighth floor
in the corner looking downtown. I was on the top
floor with a downtown view. It was just a little
cooler I had. I had bought it, like I had
bought all new furniture, which I had. It's kind of
(10:57):
a funny. I'll be quick with the story. But I
was working on a big radio show in Dallas. I
had already ruined my credit by twenty three and so
I moved into this apartment. I didn't have anything. I
had nothing, no bed, no desks, no couch, just there
in that little apartment with nothing, non chair, nothing. And
(11:19):
I went to one of our advertisers, Freed's furniture. I
went and I asked for Howard Freed, and I said, Howard,
I need some help. And he was like, what can
I do for you, son? And I said, well, I said,
I screwed up my credit when I was eighteen. And
it wasn't I didn't run up a bunch of debt.
I just a couple of late payments here and there.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Those will kill you, Oh my little friends, just day
late payments on your credit report will kill you. It
just it was. It was bad.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So anyway, I said, I've got a good job, I've
turned my life around, and I need to furnish an
entire apartment. I need it all. I need a bed,
I need a desk, I needed a couch, coffee table,
and a kitchen table and chairs. I need it all.
And he said, all right, here's what we're going to do.
(12:09):
He said, I'm going to co sign for you. He
did himself, wow, he and he said, you're going to
pay it off in a year, and you're going to
write you have a check book with me, because everyone
had a checkbook with him then, way back then. I mean,
you have that big thing sticking in your pocket. He said,
why don't you write me twelve checks right now, post
(12:31):
datum for each month for the next year, and we'll
get you out the door and get all this deliverty
and bought everything. Wow, and help my credit. And what
a nice guy.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Store owner made a deal. It's not all like Britain
have to go through.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Actually I found him on Facebook and sending him a
note a message last year, but I don't think he's
seen it. I haven't heard back, but I sent him
a nice note about how kind of that was.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah. Do you remember how much each check was for nothing?
It really matters.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I'm just it probably wasn't that. It was probably like
two hundred and fifty bucks or something.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
But still that's three grand, right for a year.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yeah, I mean when you got to buy all that stuff,
it's not cheap.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Yeah, you're right, that's a good story. I didn't know
that is the business still open? And I went I
went to go look it up. He had just shut down.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
He was retiring. Yeah, it had been in the family
for you know, one of those places that had been
there for seventy five years or something. He was retiring.
Speaker 1 (13:32):

in drugs that were there. Thanks for being with us.
