Speaker 1: My name is Sandy.
Speaker 2: This is my beautiful, talented, yet somewhat a Serbic wife
Speaker 2: who is the direct descendants of Viking warriors Secretariat. All
Speaker 2: the horses Saturday were related to Secretariat, which is very cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah it is. No, she is not the descendant of
Speaker 2: Viking warriors. I might be you have that in your blood.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. I'm a little feisty.
Speaker 1: You are, you know, a little feisty.
Speaker 2: I've always kind of been interested in the Vikings, but
Speaker 2: I just never quite get to where I dig into it,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Plenty of shows, like I know shows, and.
Speaker 2: My friend of mine just loves one of them and
Speaker 2: tells me to watch it. And I started watching it,
Speaker 2: and I just, I don't know, I couldn't get there.
Speaker 3: Interesting it was.
Speaker 2: It seemed like Lord of the Rings. Not Lord of
Speaker 2: the Rings. What's the other one when everyone's crazy about
Speaker 2: the where they walked.
Speaker 3: Everywhere and they walked everywhere?
Speaker 2: Yeah, with the guy, the red wedding and the oh
Speaker 2: it seems like Game of Thrones on boats.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it could be. But I mean you
Speaker 3: loved Game of Throne.
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 2: I did, and I never thought i'd get there. I
Speaker 2: was not much into that fantasy type of stuff.
Speaker 3: You watched it years after it was a thing. Did
Speaker 3: because it was popular, I know, because you're a contrarian
Speaker 3: and you won't watch it if everybody else likes it,
Speaker 3: which just really you miss out on the good stuff.
Speaker 1: I know you're right. I do.
Speaker 2: I miss out on some of the good stuff. Miss
Speaker 2: out on all those big eighties movies.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: And you're you'll be the better for it when you
Speaker 3: finally watch them, is all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Indiana Jones, the first one doesn't hold up to me.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's the og it's so good. I'd be
Speaker 3: like saying, does what's the one with pony Boy?
Speaker 1: Outsider? It?
Speaker 3: Just like saying does Outsiders hold up?
Speaker 1: Yes? It holds the pony Boy? I didn't got your
Speaker 1: pony Boy reference. First. Their first thing today, first thing
Speaker 1: that made you laugh today is.
Speaker 3: To all the people that always said I'd never amount
Speaker 3: to anything because of my procrastination. Just you wait, that's procrastination.
Speaker 1: It's a killer. It'll kill you. Just do it. Just
Speaker 1: do it now.
Speaker 3: Some people get addicted, though, to the rush that comes
Speaker 3: along with procrastinating, and then all of a sudden, you're
Speaker 3: under the gun and you have all this stress about
Speaker 3: being so close to the deadline, and that rush is
Speaker 3: the only thing that gets them through whatever the activity is.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's stressful too.
Speaker 3: That is very, very very Apparently not for our teenage daughter.
Speaker 2: No, she will learn. Though I tried preaching to do
Speaker 2: it now method she didn't listen.
Speaker 3: I've been preaching to do it now methods since she
Speaker 3: was about six years old. She definitely doesn't listen.
Speaker 2: Doesn't sink in. Coming up, Chris's Got the Story We Love. Also,
Speaker 2: it's a good time of year to buy certain things.
Speaker 2: We'll go through that for you if you're looking to
Speaker 2: spend some money, so stick around. Trisa's Got the Story
Speaker 2: We Love. Next on Austin's eighties station what O three
Speaker 2: point one and streaming at one O three to one
Speaker 2: Austin dot Com. It's the Sandy Show on Austin's eighties
Speaker 2: station what O three point one and streaming on my iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: App major accomplishment for Blake Shelton, something that only ten
Speaker 2: country artists have ever done. Tricia's got it for us
Speaker 2: in the Story We Love in just a moment. But
Speaker 2: before we get to that, Tricia, you know the met Gala,
Speaker 2: met gallo whatever you have?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Do you know how much it cost to put
Speaker 1: it on? Individual tickets? Oh? No?
Speaker 2: Uh? Individual tickets to the met Gala costs seventy five
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. Oh my god, a table starts at three
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Oh no, thank you.
Speaker 3: And the met Gala it was a night before last,
Speaker 3: I think Saturday night, Monday night, and it was kind
Speaker 3: of a dud from what I understand. The theme was
Speaker 3: kind of weird. A lot of big names who were
Speaker 3: supposed to go decided to skip it. I feel like
Speaker 3: it's kind of losing it shine a little bit. But
Speaker 3: the big question for me is what do they do inside? Yeah,
Speaker 3: the red carpet walking the steps is the big thing.
Speaker 3: Then what happens when they get inside?
Speaker 2: It's probably like every other get gala. It's a rubber
Speaker 2: chicken meal and a bunch of awards I guess.
Speaker 3: I don't and a bunch of people sitting in clothes
Speaker 3: that are not made to sit in that.
Speaker 1: They can't wait to get out of.
Speaker 3: They're not supposed to eat it exactly. The stories, Good morning,
Speaker 3: there's your whole studio job. Blake Shelton just celebrated his
Speaker 3: thirtieth number one hit in country music.
Speaker 2: Hey, sorry, we can't play the song on the podcast,
Speaker 2: but it's called Texas. He's got a problem in hitting
Speaker 2: this song. What do you mean because the lyric says Amarillo.
Speaker 2: All I know, George Strait said it, that's where all
Speaker 2: them xes go and all my exes live in Texas.
Speaker 2: He doesn't sing Amarillo. He sings Amarillo by morning. He
Speaker 2: doesn't mention Amarillo in that song.
Speaker 3: I think he's just talking about Texas. I think you're
Speaker 3: getting a little I'm just saying there.
Speaker 1: So there's a fullow on the song.
Speaker 3: I don't know if there is, but it's pretty catchy.
Speaker 3: He was interviewed about this song, and he's like, you know,
Speaker 3: I hear a lot of songs and and uh though,
Speaker 3: he goes, I wake up in the middle of the
Speaker 3: night with that with singing it in my head. I'd
Speaker 3: wake up in the morning singing it, so I knew
Speaker 3: I had to record it. He also said when asked
Speaker 3: about being one of only ten people to hit thirty,
Speaker 3: he said, thirty is a lot of anything, and it'd
Speaker 3: have thirty number one songs as unbelievable. He thinks the
Speaker 3: fans in the industry for their support, and he has
Speaker 3: a brand new album coming out Friday, called for recreational
Speaker 3: use only.
Speaker 2: Blake's got a good personality and a good sense of
Speaker 2: humor to go along with his singing abilities.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, is he still with Gwen Stefani.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're married.
Speaker 1: Oh they are.
Speaker 3: Mary live on a ranch in Oklahoma. I still miss
Speaker 3: him on the Voice. I kind of tune in and
Speaker 3: out of the Voice now, but when he was on it,
Speaker 3: I just loved it. His little bromance that he had
Speaker 3: with Adam Levian, who, by the way, Adam Venus back
Speaker 3: on the show.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah season.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Man, I remember seeing Adam Levine in concert and I
Speaker 2: was like, I wasn't a huge Maroon five fan, but
Speaker 2: then I watched him and it was great. And that
Speaker 2: guy works his butt off on stage. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: he's a showman, really good stuff. That's probably why they
Speaker 2: got so many hits. Probably so maybe so. All right,
Speaker 2: everybody knows that there's always big Memorial Day sales, right,
Speaker 2: There's always the big mattress sale from Memorial Day.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know the link between Memorial Day and mattresses,
Speaker 3: but it's clearly a thing.
Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of things throughout the month of
Speaker 2: May that are it's a really good time to buy
Speaker 2: them and share some of them with you. A lot
Speaker 2: of them fall into the Memorial Day, but they're starting
Speaker 2: the sales a little bit earlier. By the way, Memorial
Speaker 2: Weekend is the twenty fourth to the twenty sixth. Good
Speaker 2: time to buy major appliances, good time to buy mattresses.
Speaker 1: I don't know why.
Speaker 2: Maybe people do their spring cleaning and they're like, the
Speaker 2: need new mattress.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Also, it's a great time, they say, to buy grills,
Speaker 2: outdoor grills and grilling gears.
Speaker 3: Getting ready for summer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because a lot of the stuff is on sale,
Speaker 2: including the accessories, everything from your meat thermometer to your tongs.
Speaker 2: Right now, it's a good time to get it. They
Speaker 2: have a lot of clearance sales.
Speaker 3: Do you think the lid for a Green Egg is
Speaker 3: on sale?
Speaker 2: I'll look because I'm about ready to pull a trigger
Speaker 2: on that. Mine's been broke for about two years. Yep,
Speaker 2: just the lid and they're expensive. Yeah, wasn't it like.
Speaker 3: For the lid?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it fell off and cracked, and those are ceramic,
Speaker 2: and I think everybody would benefit. I think everyone that
Speaker 2: eats my delicious barbecue should chip in a few dollars
Speaker 2: to get the dome. We'll hit up Mel and deb
Speaker 2: and your mom. How that works all the people. If
Speaker 2: they want to eat my delicious brisket, they should help.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's how that works.
Speaker 2: If you want to get outdoor furniture, that was a
Speaker 2: good time to do it, both indoor and outdoor. By
Speaker 2: the way, a lot of that stuff is going on sale,
Speaker 2: large pieces like sofas, dining sets, patio furniture. And I'll
Speaker 2: tell you this much. We bought some outdoor furniture twelve
Speaker 2: years ago, thirteen.
Speaker 3: Oh, longer than that the fuzz. Oh definitely before the fuzz,
Speaker 3: like eighteen years ago, and we spent good money on it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and every single pen it's still in perfect condition. Outdoor
Speaker 3: furniture is expensive. Yes, the crappy stuff is expensive too.
Speaker 3: So if you're going to buy out door furniture, invest
Speaker 3: in it and get the good stuff because it will
Speaker 3: last forever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we spent more than I thought we should, but
Speaker 2: I have zero regrets, right, I mean, I don't remember
Speaker 2: the name of the brand that we bought, but it's great.
Speaker 3: I don't either, but they're great.
Speaker 2: Good time to buy betting, Tricia, if you need some
Speaker 2: more duvets or comforters or whatever it is you need.
Speaker 2: I can't believe you haven't tried the bamboo sheets yet
Speaker 2: because they're cooling sheets.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I don't have a problem with
Speaker 3: my sheets. Some were concerned with my weight to blanket
Speaker 3: stuff like that. And I did find a new a
Speaker 3: new comfort that's like a weighted comforter. Yeah, and I
Speaker 3: got my eye on it. I got to think about
Speaker 3: it for a little bit.
Speaker 2: You should do a social media media video just going
Speaker 2: through the layers of your bed of all the things,
Speaker 2: you know what, from a blank bed all the way
Speaker 2: to the end.
Speaker 3: Somebody's gonna call me old because I still have a
Speaker 3: top sheet. Why do people hate a top sheet?
Speaker 1: I still have a top sheet, I know.
Speaker 3: But the new of the younger generations is that the
Speaker 3: top sheet is frivolous that nobody needs it.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 3: I feel like the top sheet is the soft barrier
Speaker 3: between you and the blankets. I don't understand how you
Speaker 3: don't have a top sheet also.
Speaker 2: Good time to buy home improvement supplies right now, tools,
Speaker 2: paint supplies, all that kind of stuff. And finally, kind
Speaker 2: of random here, fitness trackers, or it's a good time
Speaker 2: to buy any type of wearable fitness trackers, smart watches, pedometers,
Speaker 2: things like that. They're on sale this month. And I'm
Speaker 2: gonna tell you I have a Apple Watch and I
Speaker 2: freaking love it for just for the tracking of fitness.
Speaker 1: That's fine.
Speaker 3: That's the only thing I ever used my Apple Watch for.
Speaker 3: But it was too much of a pain to get
Speaker 3: to just that feature. So I just bought a little
Speaker 3: thirty five dollars. One happiest can be with it.
Speaker 2: Mine syncs up with my Strava on my phone and
Speaker 2: I love it. I love after working out looking at
Speaker 2: all the information. I don't know what I'm gonna do
Speaker 2: with the information, but I like looking at it.

Speaker 3: All right, Sandy, here we go. Do you care or
Speaker 3: don't care? To find out what the first live sporting
Speaker 3: event ever broadcast on esp went.
Speaker 2: ESPN was Oh my gosh, yes I do care because
Speaker 2: I was an early watcher of ESPN and they had
Speaker 2: some crazy, weird stuff on there.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 3: This happened in nineteen seventy nine. It was a professional
Speaker 3: softball game between the Kentucky Bourbons and the Milwaukee Schlitz.
Speaker 2: They were just doing anything they could to get sporting
Speaker 2: sports on TV.
Speaker 3: But ESPN a softball game. I find that amazing that
Speaker 3: that was the first live event.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Well, they were brand new and they had this. Everyone
Speaker 2: else had the rights to everything else. We'll take yourself
Speaker 2: the world's strongest man. Yeah, and they're bowling. Was big milliards,
Speaker 2: was big darts, Yeah, all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 3: When I think of schlitz though, I think of my dad.
Speaker 3: I remember being a tiny trisha and I can like,
Speaker 3: one of my core memories is a schlitz can that
Speaker 3: red or the white with the red lettering.
Speaker 1: Memories of your dad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a slitz It a schlitz can, random Sandy.
Speaker 3: Do you care or don't care to find out what
Speaker 3: something is impossible to do to a possum. You cannot
Speaker 3: do this to a possum, but you can't to almost
Speaker 3: any other living creature. Uh, they're impenetrable regarding this.
Speaker 1: You peaked my interests, so yet I see what I'll know.
Speaker 3: Yes, a possum cannot be poisoned. It's impossible to poison
Speaker 3: a possum. They produce a protein that basically neutralizes any
Speaker 3: poison that enters their body, and therefore scientists are trying
Speaker 3: to use it to build a universal poison antidote.
Speaker 1: For people so they can eat anything.
Speaker 3: Eat anything. I can't kill a possum with poison.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 3: Do you know that's crazy? Right? That's very evolved, very evolved,
Speaker 3: very weird. Yeah, because they're not weird enough anyway.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: Finally, I think this is hilarious. Care or don't care
Speaker 3: to find out what the government considered doing with condoms
Speaker 3: during the Cold War. I think this is hilarious. Yes,
Speaker 3: the government briefly considered a plan to take a bunch
Speaker 3: of extra large condoms, mark them as medium, and then
Speaker 3: air drop them into the Soviet Union to make them
Speaker 3: men think they're junk. Was smaller than American men's junk.
Speaker 2: Hilarious to me, just trying to kill any morale the
Speaker 2: Russians have.
Speaker 3: Do you know how probably effective that would have been?
Speaker 3: Do you know how in their.
Speaker 1: Heads, especially if the women got a hold of them.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I love it. I just love it
Speaker 3: that the government even thought that way.
Speaker 1: That's pretty clever, I know, pretty clever. And that is
Speaker 1: cariedn't care.
