Speaker 1: Austin's eighty station on three point one.
Speaker 2: It's the Sandy Show, brought to you by our Bank
Speaker 2: with eight locations throughout Central Texas and online at www.
Speaker 2: The letter r dot Bank member fdi C lots to
Speaker 2: talk about. Even for people that aren't big sports fans,
Speaker 2: they get roped into the Olympics because of the great
Speaker 2: storytelling that they do in the Olympics. And it's been
Speaker 2: it's been good so far. I've been like sat down
Speaker 2: and just watched the Olympics. I've had it on with
Speaker 2: watching it with one eye. And for those of you
Speaker 2: just joined the show, my longtime radio partner and my
Speaker 2: buddy JB.
Speaker 1: Hager is joining us.
Speaker 2: Hilling in Patricia and a little late to the party,
Speaker 2: but she's here. Our friend in Hollywood, Cecily Noblers join us.
Speaker 3: Hello, Hello, you guys.
Speaker 2: It was a tight, a bit of a technical nightmare,
Speaker 2: but we got got Cecily here.
Speaker 1: Sister.
Speaker 4: You know, she's technically consistent since she has been since
Speaker 4: the mid nineties.
Speaker 3: It's not it's not not true.
Speaker 2: The Olympics, I mean, how great has been bringing Snoop
Speaker 2: into the Olympics is kind of the ambassador for the Olympics.
Speaker 1: On NBC.
Speaker 2: He is everywhere right now, and I've enjoyed that part
Speaker 2: of it. You know, they make it entertaining along with
Speaker 2: the competitions of course, the gymnastics and the swimming and
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. But but Snoop's been killing
Speaker 2: it at the Olympics.
Speaker 5: No, it's a choice, you know, to bring Snoop. I mean,
Speaker 5: I think I think it's great. I think we're elevating
Speaker 5: to the Olympics to a new place. I'm trying to
Speaker 5: make like a pot joke, like it's it's high now.
Speaker 5: I guess yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean the big joke was when he was carrying
Speaker 2: the flame and everyone was like, you know, he's going
Speaker 2: to light up with that flame. But I don't know,
Speaker 2: I thought Swoop's been pretty entertaining.
Speaker 4: Now it's I don't know if you guys caught it,
Speaker 4: but my wife and I watched through the Peacock Gap
Speaker 4: some of the cutaways they were doing with.
Speaker 1: Was it.
Speaker 4: It was Keenan Thompson and Kevin Hart hysterical stuff. So
Speaker 4: this is NBC has figured out that having this is
Speaker 4: just my opinion, having traditional journalists just talk about, you know,
Speaker 4: the vibe and the mood and the Olympic, like people
Speaker 4: are interested in a much lighter perspective of things, and
Speaker 4: so that's why they I think they did a lot
Speaker 4: with Snoop Dogg and then of course you see Martha
Speaker 4: Stewart popping up because of him. But then the stuff
Speaker 4: with Kevin Hart and Keenan Thompson was hysterical. I work
Speaker 4: with Lance Armstrong, who, if you don't know, somewhat controversial figure.
Speaker 6: We did stuff with peacock for Twitter France.
Speaker 4: They're they're taking some chances on making some of these
Speaker 4: sports more entertaining that are hard to grasp, like and
Speaker 4: I'll say cycling is definitely one of them.
Speaker 1: So they need to bring in personality to it, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was watching I was watching badminton today.
Speaker 4: It was a Chinese women's final, and it's so funny,
Speaker 4: you know, like that's where I could have used Kevin
Speaker 4: Hart or something talking about it, but I was with him.
Speaker 4: I was watching it, and they're like, you know, this
Speaker 4: is the fastest ball sport in the Olympics. They said
Speaker 4: at at times the what was it called a poppycock,
Speaker 4: the shuttlecock, shuttlecock.
Speaker 6: What's the difference between a shuttlecock and a poppycock. I
Speaker 6: don't think I want to know.
Speaker 1: I think you made poppy cock cock. I don't know.
Speaker 6: Shuttlecock.
Speaker 4: The shuttlecock can go as much as over two hundred
Speaker 4: miles an hour they were saying up to, but it
Speaker 4: goes that speed for a second, right, but then it
Speaker 4: just floats like a.
Speaker 1: Flower, right, exactly right.
Speaker 6: This is not like, so, what's a good what's a
Speaker 6: good fastball in baseball?
Speaker 1: Hundred miles an hour fastball?
Speaker 4: It's smoking fast right right, really fast. It can go
Speaker 4: almost three times that, but it's not near.
Speaker 1: You, So I just see what you're saying.
Speaker 4: By the time it gets you, it's just this little
Speaker 4: floating forest gump, like.
Speaker 3: Can I please just interject?
Speaker 5: And poppy cock is a brand of candied popcorn.
Speaker 3: That's why I'm here.
Speaker 5: I'm so glad I got my computer to work just
Speaker 5: so I could just chime that kind of stuff in
Speaker 5: because you need it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're coming.
Speaker 2: Thanks for chiming in though, Cecily, that's great, you got it.
Speaker 1: My kid's new line.
Speaker 2: When you tell them something that's like a boring story,
Speaker 2: my daughter will go, that's great, Dad, who's going to

Speaker 1: Member Fdi s.
Speaker 2: Hey, if you're just joining us, Tricia is out today,
Speaker 2: but my buddy JB Is hanging out with us, and
Speaker 2: my other friend, Cecily Nobler is filling in the cracks
Speaker 2: here or there. We got her through her technical nightmares,
Speaker 2: and Cecily, I got something just for you.
Speaker 1: Are you still single?
Speaker 6: It's sort of what do you means?
Speaker 4: God?
Speaker 6: What do you mean?
Speaker 1: Sort of?
Speaker 6: The dog doesn't count, Monroad does not.
Speaker 3: Oh if Monroe doesn't count, then yes, I'm still single.
Speaker 1: You are single?
Speaker 3: I guess why I who's asking?
Speaker 1: Have you been out with? Are you dating anybody?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I'm dating?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So I just thought of you because
Speaker 2: this therapist is saying that if you want a long
Speaker 2: term relationship, you're going to need to date a whole
Speaker 2: lot more. You got to date all the time, like
Speaker 2: at least two or three dates a week if you
Speaker 2: want to find mister, if you want to find your
Speaker 2: signalant other, because she says it's just a numbers gain.
Speaker 2: The more you get out there, the more likely you
Speaker 2: are to find to find me your person.
Speaker 5: Your person, and this therapist gets paid for this. This
Speaker 5: person wrote a book about that, like no, dull like
Speaker 5: you think no, but.
Speaker 1: I disagree with that. Tell me, I just think that you.
Speaker 2: I think when you try really really hard to date
Speaker 2: or to find that significant other, you never find them.
Speaker 2: I think it's just life just happens, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. You just it's very organic. It's not a
Speaker 2: thing that you're out there. I'm going to go out
Speaker 2: tonight and I'm going to find my future husband or wife.
Speaker 1: I think you just got to chill about it and
Speaker 1: let it, let life happen.
Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you on this.
Speaker 5: I've done a lot of looking into this because I
Speaker 5: was in a lot of long term relationships for like
Speaker 5: fifteen years off and then I thought, I'll.
Speaker 6: Just float and I'll just date a lot. For sh
Speaker 6: I was in.
Speaker 5: Three different for fifteen years, so one was like seven years,
Speaker 5: and three years and five years.
Speaker 3: But I say this, if you want to get serious.
Speaker 5: And I know this is a very light show, but
Speaker 5: there's like a lot of people, there's new books about
Speaker 5: sort of attachment theory. People talk about so an issue
Speaker 5: that I have now even I've always had this, and
Speaker 5: I have this now, which is that if someone's two
Speaker 5: into me, I get what's called the ick, I get
Speaker 5: icked out, and I'm just like, if someone's there they're
Speaker 5: kind of anxious around me and they like me too much,
Speaker 5: I'm like, what the hell is wrong with them? And
Speaker 5: then if they're hard to get and called avoidant in
Speaker 5: their dating attachment, I'm all in which you know, keeps you,
Speaker 5: keeps it pretty alone or in these kind of ridiculous,
Speaker 5: really short term love bombing relationships.
Speaker 3: But I've given this a lot.
Speaker 4: Of thought, and it's a fake what you described, and
Speaker 4: you probably know this. It's the old Woody Allen line,
Speaker 4: which you took from Groucho Marx, is that I would
Speaker 4: never want to belong to a club that would have
Speaker 4: someone like me as a member.
Speaker 5: Exactly exactly.
Speaker 6: They are in love with you, You're like, what.
Speaker 3: Not even in love? Like even on a first date.
Speaker 5: I went on a date and the guy, there's nothing
Speaker 5: wrong with him at all, but he just like had
Speaker 5: made a future plan. He was like, oh, well, you
Speaker 5: like that musical, Let's go see it when it comes
Speaker 5: to town.
Speaker 3: And I was like, future you can't control me. It
Speaker 3: was a whole thing.
Speaker 2: And women are so hard to understand because they always
Speaker 2: want a guy with a plan until the guy has
Speaker 2: a plan, and then they don't want anything to do
Speaker 2: with them, right, Yea.
Speaker 6: You gotta be more aloof as a guy. You got
Speaker 6: to keep him guessing. Yeah, but there's that.
Speaker 5: But it's just like and sometimes it's just pheromones. It's
Speaker 5: like a little thing.
Speaker 4: This.
Speaker 5: It's like I can pick up on an avoidance like
Speaker 5: that without them saying. They can say all the right things,
Speaker 5: and I sniff it out and I know that they're
Speaker 5: never going to be into it.
Speaker 3: So it's easier for me than.
Speaker 5: To be like, yeah, yeah, that guy, and then I
Speaker 5: can go, oh, guys, right, Yeah, it's a whole thing.
Speaker 2: JB celebrated twenty five years of marriage back in June.
Speaker 2: I've been married for sixteen years, and I'll tell you this,
Speaker 2: and I beg you, JB, you agree. There's no way
Speaker 2: in the world I would want to be out there
Speaker 2: in the dating world right now.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it. I just would not do it.
Speaker 4: I don't know what it would be like, Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't see myself getting on the apps and all
Speaker 4: that stuff.
Speaker 6: It would be even.
Speaker 4: When my wife's gone for like a week, I fall
Speaker 4: apart pretty fast.
Speaker 1: There's a big movement at school's happening. And believe it
Speaker 1: or not, our daughter goes back to my daughter, but.
Speaker 2: She goes back to school in two weeks, which is
Speaker 2: it just seems really early to me. But there's a
Speaker 2: movement happening across the country when it comes to kids
Speaker 2: in school.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what that is in just a second.
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us today.
Speaker 2: JB is filling in today for Tricia, and Cecily is
Speaker 2: joining us too. Although we're doing this virtually and Cecily
Speaker 2: won't turn her camera on again.
Speaker 3: You said to turn it off. You said you didn't
Speaker 3: like the way I look.
Speaker 2: No, know that it was just it was, yeah, it
Speaker 2: was messing up the recording. That's all right, We know
Speaker 2: that you're there, Cecily. But here's the thing that's happening
Speaker 2: across the country, and i'd love your guys take on it.
Speaker 2: They are banning cell phones in the classroom. Now you
Speaker 2: probably sucked, like, oh they didn't do that already. No,
Speaker 2: it was the Wild West with kids in their phones
Speaker 2: in the classroom. And kids in Michigan, the students are
Speaker 2: actually relieved that they don't have their phones with them
Speaker 2: in the classroom anymore. And my daughter's school district they
Speaker 2: just got rid of that too. Jab was that an
Speaker 2: issue when your daughter was in school?
Speaker 6: No, I think she.
Speaker 4: You know, my daughter was born in two thousand and one,
Speaker 4: so I think they're really that first generation to deal
Speaker 4: with this issue. Yeah, they had it, and it was
Speaker 4: always like, oh, it was like this necessity to communicate
Speaker 4: with parents and blah blah blah.
Speaker 6: But again, first generation of that so new.
Speaker 4: I don't think we knew the long term effects of
Speaker 4: screen time and anxiety.
Speaker 6: And and I think this is a good thing. This
Speaker 6: is huge, Like, yeah, I mean if we could see.
Speaker 4: More of that, not only at school, but in the workplace.
Speaker 4: Can you imagine just checking your phone all day?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And then they I've seen videos and stuff of kids
Speaker 2: in schools where the teacher takes their phone and they're like,
Speaker 2: you can't take that from me. That's not yours, that's mine, right,
Speaker 2: you know. And I we told our daughter's teachers, you
Speaker 2: can take the phone anytime you'll want, if it's a problem,
Speaker 2: take it from her. And you know, have her come
Speaker 2: back and get it after school, whatever you need to do.
Speaker 2: So it's a lot of you know, a lot of
Speaker 2: parents out there. It's never the kid, it's always the teacher, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: They're just looking for something. I mean they would take
Speaker 4: my pencil for pencil fighting.
Speaker 2: Did you ever play the little football game with a
Speaker 2: little with a little triangle football game and then you
Speaker 2: kick it through the uprights and you put your thumbs
Speaker 2: together for the uprights?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and even after the This is really dating ourselves,
Speaker 4: but the football version.
Speaker 6: Do you remember like Calico head to head?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, this was before we had like a you know,
Speaker 4: a smartphone and a computer. But they were little portable
Speaker 4: games and we were obsessed with them. We'd be on
Speaker 4: the bus, the school bus with like our jackets.
Speaker 6: Over playing the game.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, like it.
Speaker 6: Was a it was a problem.
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, devices just don't belong like I mean, I
Speaker 4: would be the opposite if I was a kid today,
Speaker 4: I'd be wanting it.
Speaker 6: But yeah, if they could undo that, that would be huge.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: It's amazing how much you've tied you I've gotten. JB
Speaker 2: told me, I don't know, probably a couple of years
Speaker 2: ago that you didn't. Don't keep your cell phone in
Speaker 2: your bedroom, you put it away.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 4: I know, which is a tough one because I will
Speaker 4: sleep with an Apple Watch in case it's an emergency call,
Speaker 4: which when you have a daughter a child, you'll do that. Otherwise, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I try to stay away from the device.
Speaker 2: It's they recommend my looking at your phone for like
Speaker 2: up to two hours before you go to sleep because
Speaker 2: all the blue stuff or something in the screen, I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the white light. Yeah, this is your circadian rhythm.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it projects like it's sunlight, I think, is
Speaker 2: what they said, right.
Speaker 4: It totally messes up your sleep. Then your kids are
Speaker 4: up all night looking at their device. Then they're tired
Speaker 4: at school, Like, yeah, it's a problem. Can you imagine now,
Speaker 4: Like I remember back in the day trying to get
Speaker 4: your kid reset for school hours. But now you throw
Speaker 4: on top of it all these devices and all that, Like,
Speaker 4: that's a whole different animal.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 2: JV and Cicely are sitting in on the show today
Speaker 2: as Tricia is out, let me ask you guys a question.
Speaker 2: When you guys were kids at Halloween time, did your
Speaker 2: mother ever take you to the Halloween store.
Speaker 6: No, that was that was for fancy rich people.
Speaker 1: That was for we never went. But you're right, JB.
Speaker 1: Go ahead.
Speaker 4: Sorry, they were always homemade for me growing up, it
Speaker 4: was always homemade. Yeah, it was like that, the kind
Speaker 4: where the cost and a max mask and a theme
Speaker 4: and yes, that was fancy kids stuff.
Speaker 2: And a pillowcase was my candy bag. I never had
Speaker 2: like a reflective one or anything. No one cared if
Speaker 2: I got.
Speaker 6: Momk Yeah, yeah, I never had that either.
Speaker 2: I never had one of those. But Halloween stores are
Speaker 2: already starting to open up. Spirit Halloween stores are opening
Speaker 2: up across the country and it's only mid August, I
Speaker 2: mean the beginning of August. So that's for the really
Speaker 2: well prepared. Right, you're going to get your Halloween costume.
Speaker 4: Now that's a bit psycho if you're planning this far ahead.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I have my thing with costumes, which I kind of
Speaker 5: do love. For a while, I would just go as
Speaker 5: myself and say I was a Lanis Morissett.
Speaker 6: And it was just that was it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I didn't have to sometimes I put on
Speaker 5: a little wig, but then sometimes I go real deep
Speaker 5: cut and people don't like it. People want like sexy
Speaker 5: witch sexy nurse. This is the time to wear a
Speaker 5: short skirt and whatever. And one year I want a contest,
Speaker 5: but I had to explain. I went as Scooter Libby.
Speaker 5: Do you guys remember who Scooter Libby was?
Speaker 1: I remember that names.
Speaker 5: He worked for Dick Cheney under GW and I guess
Speaker 5: he outed a source that he like he had, like
Speaker 5: there was a CIA source or something and he outed them.
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know why whatever.
Speaker 5: So I had like a very elaborate costume, like he
Speaker 5: had crutches for a while. So I went as that
Speaker 5: and my little T shirt that said she's with the CIA.
Speaker 5: And one guy it's why I'm single. One guy at
Speaker 5: the party got it like I could have just been
Speaker 5: a sexy cowgirl. Yeah, but nope, I had to be
Speaker 5: the aid to Dick Cheney.
Speaker 3: And but I I love that stuff.
Speaker 5: I think that's what Halloween's for is you've got to
Speaker 5: make people think, yeah, but.
Speaker 2: The woke police has kind of killed this fun in Halloween, boy,
Speaker 2: you wear the wrong thing and you're done right.
Speaker 4: It's more like the Halloween the chicks who want to
Speaker 4: be sluts or get to be sluts.
Speaker 3: For a day or the rest of their lives, and.
Speaker 4: The guys who really want to be women are afraid
Speaker 4: to be women get to be women.
Speaker 2: Yeah, day they get to cross dress. They get a
Speaker 2: free cross dressing pass on Halloween.
Speaker 5: Right, yes, right, right, And it's a great day. It's
Speaker 5: a great day for everybody. You get to just be
Speaker 5: whoever you want to be, and that it's a lesson.
Speaker 3: We should just do it all the time.
Speaker 5: I don't think I want to be a sexy nurse
Speaker 5: all day right now, I'm a sexy No. That's why
Speaker 5: I turned my camera off because.
Speaker 1: So, I mean, I haven't even thought.
Speaker 2: And the funniest costume, the most response my daughter ever
Speaker 2: gotten a Halloween costume was the most simple one ever.
Speaker 1: She was a banana.
Speaker 2: A banana, a big yellow banana with a hole with
Speaker 2: her face to come out and the thing else. She
Speaker 2: got more reaction from that costume, which is a simple
Speaker 2: little banana costume, and now every year she wants to
Speaker 2: be a banana.
Speaker 6: So yeah, my daughter had a home run as ketchup
Speaker 6: for more than it's like sometimes we overthink.
Speaker 2: It exactly exactly, but JB, I don't know if you're
Speaker 2: going to back out on your spirit Halloween store take
Speaker 2: and property values.
Speaker 1: But here's your chance.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: I've just always had a theory that if your your
Speaker 4: neighborhood shopping center is the land of the pop up
Speaker 4: store whatever's trending Halloween, and then a month later it's
Speaker 4: the Christmas store fourth of July, then it's the tax store, it's.
Speaker 6: Things are not going good in your neighborhood.
Speaker 4: If you're the temporary store neighborhood neighborhood, Yeah, it's I
Speaker 4: feel you.
Speaker 6: It's just a little red flag, you know, just a
Speaker 6: little little.
Speaker 4: Red flag of like time to move on, because you're
Speaker 4: better than that, and I got your back.
Speaker 2: The Spirit Halloween Store just opened up three blocks from
Speaker 2: my house.
