Speaker 1: It's the Jam and Sandy Show and you can now
Speaker 1: save us as a preset on the iHeartRadio app. It's
Speaker 1: Austin's eighty station one oh three point one. Something happened
Speaker 1: at the Moody Center over the weekend that brought thirty
Speaker 1: million dollars into the city of Austin, and chances are
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't even know what happened, but
Speaker 1: it is absolutely huge for the people that do know
Speaker 1: about it. I think people came in from all over
Speaker 1: the world for this. This was a big e sports event,
Speaker 1: electronics sports gaming event that happened at the Moody Center.
Speaker 2: Tricia. What was it called.
Speaker 3: It was called Blast TV's Counterstrike Major and it was
Speaker 3: a culmination.
Speaker 4: It was a playoff tournament.
Speaker 3: Apparently for the last few months, people from all over
Speaker 3: the world have been competing to get spots in this
Speaker 3: final three day playoff. It brought fifty thousand esports fans
Speaker 3: to the Moody Center.
Speaker 4: Fifty thousand people over this three day tournament.
Speaker 5: To give you some comparison, well, dkrs about of her
Speaker 5: just over one hundred thousand. But like at Zilker Park
Speaker 5: in ACL fests, you're going to see what fifty to
Speaker 5: maybe seventy thousand people in there.
Speaker 3: That's yeah, that's big. They're comparing this event to ACL
Speaker 3: and south By. It's that big of a deal, and
Speaker 3: apparently it's going to become a regular thing here.
Speaker 4: But people come in.
Speaker 3: It brought, like Sandy said, thirty million dollars into Austin,
Speaker 3: and also the prize money for the people who won
Speaker 3: was like a million dollars each.
Speaker 4: How many people won, but it was a big deal.
Speaker 1: I remember years ago when they were kind of like
Speaker 1: people were buying franchises of teams, just like you would
Speaker 1: in the NFL or Major League Baseball. There were people,
Speaker 1: and I think Mark Cuban was one of them that
Speaker 1: invested heavily and bought an esports team.
Speaker 2: That's how big this is.
Speaker 1: I don't, honestly, I don't even know what games they play,
Speaker 1: and this is it saying the article Trisia what they're
Speaker 1: competing in. I don't know if it's like Madden Football
Speaker 1: or what it is, to be honest, call.
Speaker 2: Of duty, I don't know.
Speaker 3: It doesn't have any specific thing. I think it's just
Speaker 3: all the esports. Nothing specific is listed.
Speaker 1: It's crazy the amount of money that there is in this,
Speaker 1: and there's I mean, I think there's more money in
Speaker 1: the video gaming than there is in the motion picture business.
Speaker 1: In movie business, yeah, which it is mind bog lane and.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they've been saying forever that it was going to
Speaker 5: be big. It's it is. It's a arrived some time ago.
Speaker 5: It's got to be a tough thing. My daughter wasn't
Speaker 5: into gaming, and I avoided it when I was younger.
Speaker 5: I got like a Sega genesis when I was in
Speaker 5: my early twenties, and then all of a sudden, one day,
Speaker 5: I was like, I've been doing this for eight hours.
Speaker 6: I gave it away. Man, I gave the thing away.
Speaker 6: They're really built to do that too, Like they're built.
Speaker 6: They're made to make you keep playing and playing and playing.
Speaker 1: And I have I have an Xbox and play Call
Speaker 1: of Duty, but I really manage myself, like I don't
Speaker 1: do it until everything else is done and I and.
Speaker 2: Then I'm so bad at it.
Speaker 1: I can't play for more than forty five minutes because
Speaker 1: I just were so good at it. And then you
Speaker 1: got smart ass twelve year olds laughing at you.
Speaker 3: As I was going to say, didn't like one of them,
Speaker 3: like forget to use their microphone or something, and scept
Speaker 3: said something that hurts your feelings.
Speaker 5: The sports industry is a one point five billion dollar industry,
Speaker 5: but the video game industry overall, I think this is
Speaker 5: what you were talking about, Sandy. This is from twenty
Speaker 5: twenty four, two hundred and twenty billion, compared to the
Speaker 5: film industry that is ninety billion. Right, to give you perspective,
Speaker 5: the music industry is a thirty five billion dollar annual industry,
Speaker 5: two hundred and twenty billion.
Speaker 2: So more than movies and music put together.
Speaker 5: Yeah, wow, video games.
Speaker 2: Let's do a video game today. You want to make one?
Speaker 4: Make make one?
Speaker 5: It would be we could be lucky to put together Pong.
Speaker 1: Right, But doesn't your daughter like going to the arcades
Speaker 1: and still pumping the quarters in?
Speaker 2: You don't?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's just a social thing, you know, Like there's
Speaker 5: like she likes that cider cade on Riverside. You pay
Speaker 5: like a flat fee of ten bucks and the games
Speaker 5: are free, and it's a lot of old school games.
Speaker 5: You know, you're you're Tetris and Galaga and cinepac Vans
Speaker 5: and Sinnipede.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, so that's cool though, And whoever brought it
Speaker 1: to Austin that's great.
Speaker 2: Hopefully they'll keep bringing it back, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be become one of those
Speaker 3: annual events, just like Formula one and and and ACL
Speaker 3: all of them they're going to.
Speaker 4: It's a new one that I think is going to
Speaker 4: be coming back every year.
Speaker 2: The weekends to.
Speaker 1: Do this type of stuff, well that's indoors, so that's
Speaker 1: fairly easy, yeah, to pick in Austin. But man, the
Speaker 1: weekends to book these big events are really getting slimmer
Speaker 1: and slimmer in Austin, right because you have to take
Speaker 1: into account you can't have a CL in Austin when
Speaker 1: there's a home football game, right, there's hotels.
Speaker 2: There's just not true.
Speaker 1: But didn't they do a CL and F one on
Speaker 1: the same weekend one year? Which is nuts?
Speaker 3: They're both in October, but you're saying one year they
Speaker 3: were both on the same weekend.
Speaker 5: Yes, so wow, And you know you'd be paying a
Speaker 5: grand to stay to Lakinta, yeah right, yeah.
Speaker 1: And they were doing that crappy minimum five night stay thing.
Speaker 1: Remember at F one, they were like all the hotels
Speaker 1: were like, you couldn't just book a hotel for one night,
Speaker 1: you had to get it for like five nights, which
Speaker 1: is which is done. Sure makes south By Southwest seems
Speaker 1: smaller now all these other things because when Austin had
Speaker 1: was head south By Southwest, we had that in Longhorned
Speaker 1: Sports and that was it right that maybe that little
Speaker 1: craft brew festival that they used to have down.
Speaker 2: At for.
Speaker 5: That's a long time Pecan street fest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but now it's there's a lot of stuff going on,
Speaker 1: so and this just in there's a lot happening in Austin, Texas.
Speaker 5: Right you every weekend? JB.
Speaker 1: Are you becoming the guy with the dog on South
Speaker 1: Congress a little bit?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 5: I have two little ugly terrier rescues. One's one's eleven
Speaker 5: years old. One is one and a half, and I
Speaker 5: take him to different things. Maverick the old one, he's
Speaker 5: my we're running Errand's dog and he's the boat dog.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
Speaker 5: And then the Clyde, the younger one. He can behave
Speaker 5: himself in social settings better than the old one. So
Speaker 5: he's he's the he's like the bar dog. Or was
Speaker 5: he the one dog? Was Clyde the one that was
Speaker 5: trafficked here from Mexico? Yeah he was, Yeah, he was trafficked.
Speaker 5: He was yeah, he uh, that's the young one. He's
Speaker 5: a year and a half.
Speaker 2: He he.
Speaker 5: We got him from a rescue that goes down to
Speaker 5: South Texas and Mexico and they'll pick up a dozen
Speaker 5: dogs at a time and put him in foster homes.
Speaker 5: They don't have like a brick and war facility. It's
Speaker 5: really cool. It's called if you're interested, it's called Atticus
Speaker 5: Legacy Rescue, and you can follow him on socials.
Speaker 2: That's where we found Clyde.
Speaker 5: But Clyde embarrassed me at my one of my favorite
Speaker 5: places last night.
Speaker 2: I was working late.
Speaker 5: I had a lot of stuff to do, and I
Speaker 5: was there shutting the place down at eleven PM. I
Speaker 5: was the last one in there in a cafe fred Fredo.
Speaker 5: I don't know if they I think I pronounced it Fredo.
Speaker 5: It's right there at Congress in Oldsworth cool place.
Speaker 2: It's an old, old.
Speaker 5: Historic home turned into a cafe and wine bar. And
Speaker 5: we're getting up to leave and Clyde jumps down and
Speaker 5: sort of takes off on me and I reach for it,
Speaker 5: grab his leash. In his leash had looped around this
Speaker 5: little water station. It was like a wood stand with
Speaker 5: a water jug on it and all the cups, and
Speaker 5: he was darting for the door or he was clearly
Speaker 5: ready to go home and knocked over the whole thing.
Speaker 5: This is eleven o'clock and the last one in there
Speaker 5: they're trying to shut down. I toppled a water station
Speaker 5: and the jugs spilt entirely, entirely. They were very nice
Speaker 5: and came, you know, they had a mop on it
Speaker 5: in minutes.
Speaker 2: But I was like, I am so.
Speaker 5: Sorry, and I just they were like, it's okay, don't
Speaker 5: worry about it. They were being really nice.
Speaker 2: I go.
Speaker 5: I said, you guys will get extra tips for the
Speaker 5: next month, because I had already closed out.
Speaker 2: I will make this up to you, I promise.
Speaker 3: Oh you know inside they were like, dude, we just
Speaker 3: want to go home.
Speaker 1: I'm worried that the next time you go back there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a sign on the door that says no
Speaker 1: dog's allowed, right, yeah.
Speaker 4: Or picture of Clyde.
Speaker 5: Really, it was just so embarrassing, so bad.
Speaker 2: I felt so bad. Did Clyde KNOWID messed up?
Speaker 5: I think so because it was a loud noise when
Speaker 5: that thing hit the ground, you know, one of those
Speaker 5: big plastic water jokes. Yeah, it was really loud.
Speaker 1: So I'm curious, did you stay till the completion of
Speaker 1: cleanup or did you no?
Speaker 2: They were shooing there.
Speaker 5: I think they just wanted me out of there at
Speaker 5: that point.
Speaker 4: Get out.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Speaking of dogs, Tricia and I were on the Brushy
Speaker 1: Creek trail over the weekend. They were just walking along
Speaker 1: and to our left there's this woman walking a young dog.
Speaker 1: I would say, he's maybe a year, I don't know.
Speaker 1: And we're walking a few more steps and she goes,
Speaker 1: wait a minute. She turns around, she goes, I think
Speaker 1: that's Chiarne. Like what she goes, You know the dog
Speaker 1: I told you about that I met that made this
Speaker 1: little mark on my arm with his teeth. His name
Speaker 1: is Chicerni. And so Tricia's fretting, wonder if that's Chiaceronnie.
Speaker 1: I'm like, just go ask if that's Cheacerne. And she's like, man,
Speaker 1: I go, okay, I'll go ask. And then Tricia goes
Speaker 1: and she walks up to the owner and I'll let
Speaker 1: you take it from there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I go.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to go is your dog's name cheacha Rone?
Speaker 3: Because if it wasn't, that's weird. Right, it's super rando
Speaker 3: name George. Yeah, I go, what is your dog's name?
Speaker 3: And she she's like, am I in trouble? She goes
Speaker 3: Cheacha Rone and I was all, chea gerone.

Speaker 3: husband and my daughter. I go, I told them about
Speaker 3: cheach your Rone. When I met him last time, it
Speaker 3: had been a couple of months. He was just a poppy.

Speaker 3: something else. He's adorable and just so happy to be anywhere,
Speaker 3: like jumping up all over the place.
Speaker 4: He scratched my arm.
Speaker 3: So I have a cheecha rone scar and I'm all,

Speaker 3: years ago a doodled anything was considered a met Now

Speaker 5: a larger maybe a female lab mix or something, you know,
Speaker 5: jumps in and out of your truck and just you know,
