Speaker 1: One O three to one Austin dot com.
Speaker 2: Hey everybody, thanks for being with us. Hope you had
Speaker 2: a great weekend. It's the JB and Sandy Show. My
Speaker 2: name is Sandy.
Speaker 3: This is JB. Hello, and Trista's here too.
Speaker 4: Hi, everybody.
Speaker 2: You can find us on Instagram at JB Sandy atx
Speaker 2: same thing on TikTok. A video on Instagram has really
Speaker 2: taken off of the story you told JB about almost
Speaker 2: getting run over out on out on Old Lockhart Road.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, anytime you talk about cyclists, people get worked
Speaker 1: up on both sides.
Speaker 6: It is such a polarizing subject.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: And it's so funny because it's always the same thing.
Speaker 1: I always see the same thing. If you advocate for
Speaker 1: cyclists being on the road, someone will be going I'd like,
Speaker 1: I don't mind. I wouldn't mind them if they obeyed
Speaker 1: the laws. I see them run stop signs, and I go, well,
Speaker 1: I've seen a Volkswagen run a stop sign?
Speaker 6: Do you hate off Volkswagens?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Right? Like people break everybody behind the wheel is, for
Speaker 1: the most part breaking some kind of law here or there.
Speaker 1: And then I did add to our thread. I go
Speaker 1: a lot of progressive cities are are actually making it
Speaker 1: a lot. I figure what they call it, like Idaho
Speaker 1: law or Boise law or something where cyclists are allowed
Speaker 1: to run stop signs and at a stop light they
Speaker 1: can stop quickly and go when it's clear whether even
Speaker 1: if it's still red. They're doing that to encourage more
Speaker 1: people to get on bikes and get cars off the road.
Speaker 1: So it really you know, and I think about it too, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: there's times when I'll go through this intersection or that
Speaker 1: when it's still red, but I'm getting out of their
Speaker 1: way right right, so when it turns red, it's I'm
Speaker 1: back over and in the bike lane through the intersection.
Speaker 4: Right instead of them having to wait for, yes.
Speaker 1: Wait for me to take off. So anyhow, I know
Speaker 1: that's I'm not going to be able to convince people.
Speaker 1: People don't really sway on this, but yeah.
Speaker 3: Got one of those things. You're either one way or
Speaker 3: the other.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: My thought on it is this, if you hit him
Speaker 2: with the car, they're going to the hospital.
Speaker 3: You're not.
Speaker 1: So that's how Europeans look at it. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: they have a little a lot more respect for it.
Speaker 1: But I've got something funny.
Speaker 2: Most you know, a gen X fact, A gen X
Speaker 2: fact that I bet you haven't thought of in a
Speaker 2: long time or ever thought of, JB. Tricia, this is
Speaker 2: not relatable to you, okay, but you may have questions
Speaker 2: about it. Gen X fact. Think about this. We're the
Speaker 2: last people to know the struggle of calling a girl
Speaker 2: on the phone and her dad answering. Think about that,
Speaker 2: we really are we That was terrifying.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so not just the terrifying part of calling a girl,
Speaker 5: but knowing that our dad might answer and you'd have
Speaker 5: to talk to him too, Yeah, him up and.
Speaker 6: Up second or a point.
Speaker 2: But now dudes today, they don't have to worry about
Speaker 2: that anymore. They don't have to worry about talking to
Speaker 2: the dad before you get to talk to the girl. Right,
Speaker 2: They can communicate freely as at will. Like that is
Speaker 2: that's frightening, right.
Speaker 3: Did you ever have the fear of calling a girl? JB?
Speaker 6: I'm sure? Yeah, you know you don't.
Speaker 1: You know you have to ask for them or I mean,
Speaker 1: when we were really young, you could still just show
Speaker 1: up at people's house.
Speaker 4: Yeah, knock on the door to stick they want to
Speaker 4: come out and.
Speaker 6: Here, you know, like that would weird people out? Today.
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: If you just randomly showed up and asked for a
Speaker 1: kid to come out and play, those parents would be like,
Speaker 1: what is.
Speaker 6: Going on here?
Speaker 5: Yeah, And at any point on a landline, somebody else
Speaker 5: in the house could pick up one of the receivers
Speaker 5: and listen, and you don't know.
Speaker 6: I totally would.
Speaker 4: Have done that as a parent. My kid was talking
Speaker 4: to a boy, you could do a break in.
Speaker 1: Calls operator to break in, yeah, because you whatever you
Speaker 1: had gone on was more impartant than whatever whoever your
Speaker 1: sister was doing on the phone line.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 2: We ended up getting our own My sister and I
Speaker 2: had our own line, and but it was it was upstairs,
Speaker 2: so like we'd be downstairs doing whatever to hear that
Speaker 2: phone ring and just see how fast.
Speaker 3: We could get upstairs to get to it. Before that.
Speaker 6: That was pretty cool your parents to give you your
Speaker 6: own line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just got taller, tired of us being on
Speaker 2: the phone all the time.
Speaker 6: And yeah, they had a long core.
Speaker 3: It did, Yeah, and it was it.
Speaker 2: My parents were smart because we had an extra bedroom
Speaker 2: that was between my sister and I his room, and
Speaker 2: that's where the phone was.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you drag it into your room, right exactly.
Speaker 5: I still remember my phone number form, my line that
Speaker 5: I had in high school.
Speaker 2: Your line to line too. Yeah, I can't believe in
Speaker 2: our phone book. And back when they made phone books
Speaker 2: they actually published the teen line.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine today the predators the seam line. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Colin dialing for dollars for kidnap victims.
Speaker 6: But I remember the concept of a phone book is
Speaker 6: funny now.
Speaker 3: It is let your fingers do the walking? Remember that?
Speaker 1: But to mean the white page is like personal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: somebody you go to city and you look up their number.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I were sitting on the phone book in the car
Speaker 5: as a small child, so I could see her.
Speaker 4: The dashboard when I was in the front seat, not
Speaker 4: buckled in.
Speaker 5: But the phone book was used for so many different things.
Speaker 6: It was for elevating small people.
Speaker 2: Yes, I remember the cover of a Mad magazine and
Speaker 2: it was the yellow page of slogan was let your
Speaker 2: fingers do the walking. And they had two fingers walking
Speaker 2: through a park and they had dog poop on the
Speaker 2: end of their fingers. Oh, I miss Mad magazine. Is
Speaker 2: there a place in the world for that anymore?
Speaker 6: My wife still has some does she really?
Speaker 2: She held on to Yeah, she was a fan, and
Speaker 2: then the knockoff version of Mad was cracked, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I remember that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time as a kid at
Speaker 2: the magazine stand. Like my parents would go to the
Speaker 2: mall or whatever, and I had to go with them.
Speaker 2: I just stood there and never bought one. But I'd
Speaker 2: read all the wrestling magazines and all the whatever car
Speaker 2: magazines that were out there.
Speaker 1: I'd bullet my way to Spencers to see if there
Speaker 1: were any naked ladies on that middle road.
Speaker 6: They had the adult stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I slipped.
Speaker 6: Through the posters too.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, IoT, nothing but John.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Spencers make you feel funny.
Speaker 3: Spencer's are they still open?

Speaker 1: You know, I'd have a I'd have a nice gold
Speaker 1: bracelet on layaway from my lady.
Speaker 6: In middle school.
