Speaker 1: It's the JV and Sandy Show.
Speaker 2: As JV's hanging with us again today if you're not
Speaker 2: with us. Earlier we were talking about things that you
Speaker 2: you did is he loved as a kid, and whether
Speaker 2: or not you still doing We told you about this guy,
Speaker 2: grown adult man shooting rockets little model rockets off at
Speaker 2: Brushy Creek Park in Cedar Park and so along kind
Speaker 2: of the same lines. I was kind of thinking about
Speaker 2: things that I'm not really good at but I still
Speaker 2: enjoy doing, and I think everyone has them, and the
Speaker 2: biggest one for me, and I always have an excuse
Speaker 2: as to why I'm not any good at it, you know.
Speaker 2: My latest one is golf. I've recently started playing golf again.
Speaker 2: I've reunited in my old roommate Phil Right. He and
Speaker 2: I and very good golfer, Yeah, very good. And he
Speaker 2: and I and a couple other guys we play together
Speaker 2: once a month and we always go out.
Speaker 1: To like.
Speaker 2: Burn It, Marble Falls, King Kingsland out there. It's there's
Speaker 2: some really nice golf course just out there, and I'm
Speaker 2: just not very good. I've gotten better, but I'm never
Speaker 2: gonna be like feel good, you know, like my old
Speaker 2: roommate feels I'm never gonna be as good as hand.
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna be as good as basically any of
Speaker 2: my friends. So I'm constantly making up excuses as to why.
Speaker 2: And it used to be forever it was because I
Speaker 2: drank too much when I played golf.
Speaker 1: That was always my excuse.
Speaker 2: I don't have that excuse anymore, right, So now my
Speaker 2: latest one, and I think JB you can probably I
Speaker 2: agree with this or relate to it. My latest excuse
Speaker 2: is I need new golf clubs. Oh yeah, and I
Speaker 2: need to be professionally fitted for my go So basically
Speaker 2: I need custom golf clubs.
Speaker 3: Basically that's a lot of money.
Speaker 2: Basically that's a lot of money, right, but I really
Speaker 2: need them.
Speaker 4: What is a set of let's go for these days,
Speaker 4: like custom set of golf. I have no clue if
Speaker 4: it's two thousand dollars or ten thousand dollars, have no clue.
Speaker 2: If you go out to like a professional fitting and
Speaker 2: get it done by let's say tailor made one of
Speaker 2: the brands and stuff, it's about one hundred and seventy
Speaker 2: five dollars a club, right.
Speaker 5: And you need I mean I'm playing pitch and put
Speaker 5: the miniature.
Speaker 6: Golf might be more your speeding, like eighteen hundred bucks, Yeah,
Speaker 6: something like that.
Speaker 1: Right right around there, right.
Speaker 6: I mean, are you sure it's not your bad shoulder?
Speaker 6: I mean I feel like maybe it's your shoulder.
Speaker 1: This is Tricia's way of talking me out of this.
Speaker 4: Hey, I know that I'm here, and here's what I'm hearing.
Speaker 4: You're you're saving eighteen hundred dollars a month not drinking.
Speaker 5: That's just one month, one month easy.
Speaker 1: This is a no brainer.
Speaker 3: This is like they're free.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're coming free. You know what this is chick economics.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 3: It's girl math. That's happening.
Speaker 1: Is girl math, curl math. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I want to see you go into the tailor Maids
Speaker 4: store and go, I'm here for my free club. I'm sorry, sure,
Speaker 4: what well, I quit drinking and so so you guys
Speaker 4: ow me clubs. You ought to be free.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Sorry, it doesn't work that way.
Speaker 3: Yes, it does.
Speaker 2: What to answer your question about my shoulder, Trisha, is
Speaker 2: it does make a difference. Because when I went and
Speaker 2: played in this golf tournament they had the tailor made
Speaker 2: people were there and they like you swung you hit
Speaker 2: some balls for it. And then they fitted you and
Speaker 2: adjusted the golf clubs and the shaft and all that
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. And when after they adjusted it, I
Speaker 2: hit the golf ball a whole lot better, really a
Speaker 2: lot better, like a lot.
Speaker 6: You're like a small child right now trying to convince
Speaker 6: his mom and dad, Guys, I really need this, but
Speaker 6: it's important.
Speaker 2: And then I always remember, as soon as I think
Speaker 2: about this, there was a guy, and you know, mister Appelt, right, uh,
Speaker 2: owned Cola Vista and bass Drop and mister Appelt most
Speaker 2: people know it.
Speaker 1: Well put it this way.
Speaker 2: He's got three buildings named after him at Texas, A
Speaker 2: and M So you do the math on that, right, right.
Speaker 2: And he told me once, he said, Sandy, if money
Speaker 2: could buy you a low handicap in golf, damn and
Speaker 2: I'd have one.
Speaker 1: He said, it can't. It just can't do it.
Speaker 2: If you can buy a good golf game, I'd have one.
Speaker 4: And so that's part of the fascination with that sport
Speaker 4: is even the best in the world cannot conquer it. No, yeah,
Speaker 4: you take the best golfer in the world. What's the
Speaker 4: kid from from Scotty Scheffler Scheffler. Yeah, they like what
Speaker 4: would be considered like a perfect bowling birdying every hole.
Speaker 5: It just doesn't happen, right, Yeah, you're the best.
Speaker 4: In the world bowling. You can do it. You can
Speaker 4: bowl three hundred, you can dominate that.
Speaker 1: A lot of people can, right, a lot of but just.
Speaker 4: The best in the world have a bad hole right
Speaker 4: every time, and it keeps you coming back.
Speaker 1: It's amazing.
Speaker 2: And bad players can beat a good player on one hole, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: That's true. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: I'll never forget.
Speaker 2: I was playing with rich Being once who won the
Speaker 2: two thousand and two PGA Championship. Our very first hole,
Speaker 2: I made a birdie and he made a part. I
Speaker 2: just beat a major champion.
Speaker 5: Right, and you're like, I'm done.
Speaker 1: I'm right.
Speaker 4: And that's the same thing like not being able to
Speaker 4: conquer it. You still you have those little moments, those
Speaker 4: little shiny moments where you just go, oh my god,
Speaker 4: you can't do that in a ten k go I
Speaker 4: got third last week on normally two hundred and fifty, Like,
Speaker 4: it just doesn't happen.
Speaker 2: You couldn't win around from Mike Tyson, you know, right,
Speaker 2: it couldn't happen. So so Tricia again seeking approval.
Speaker 6: Hey, why you never do what you gotta do. That's
Speaker 6: what I always say, Do what you gotta do, Sandy.
Speaker 6: If you need them, you go get them.
Speaker 1: Are you serious?
Speaker 3: I mean, what am I going to say?
Speaker 1: How would I?
Speaker 6: Of course I've never been the person who's like, absolutely not.
Speaker 3: Here's the other thing.
Speaker 6: I got something I got to ask you about to
Speaker 6: We'll talk about that later. Some say yes to this request.
Speaker 6: Oh boy, might have one of my own coming up
Speaker 6: means a trip.
Speaker 2: Probably listen to this, JB. I'm a predict where this
Speaker 2: trip is too. Would you like to hear? It's probably
Speaker 2: a beach Vietnam. Her best friend lives in Vietnam.
Speaker 3: You remember Sean, my friend Sean.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, because she teaches all over Yeah, she lives
Speaker 6: in the land of Vietnam.
Speaker 3: It's far far away.
Speaker 1: That's cool.
Speaker 5: And if you can go with someone local knowledge even better.
Speaker 1: Right right? Yep, you know I want to go on that.
Speaker 3: I know you want to go on that.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this.
Speaker 3: Let's I mean, it's maybe it's golf clubs or Vietnam.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. How do you need them?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Now the price just doubled, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: From a set of golf clubs to now a trip
Speaker 2: is like, that's more money.
Speaker 1: It's not girl math.
Speaker 3: Get your golf clubs if you want.
Speaker 1: I'm Sandy.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to stop here.
Speaker 1: We'll see, We'll see.
Speaker 2: You can find us on Instagram at the Sandy Show Official.
Speaker 2: Be sure that you grabbed the Sandy Show podcast. Stick
Speaker 2: with us. We got more coming up. All you pickleballers
Speaker 2: that can't get a court, We've got good news for you.
Speaker 2: Well you decide if it's good news. All right, that's
Speaker 2: coming up. It's the JV and Sandy Show. JB's with
Speaker 2: us today, and by the way, Tricia's here too. I'm
Speaker 2: here right, Sorry.
Speaker 1: Sometimes JB and I get caught up, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fine, you do it. I'm going to jump
Speaker 3: in when I can.
Speaker 2: So pickleball has been a rage, and they've got that
Speaker 2: really really world class facility out and dripping that I'm
Speaker 2: supposed to hold host the World Championships or something sometime soon.
Speaker 2: And pickleball is everywhere, and all the tennis players are
Speaker 2: mad at the pickleballers.
Speaker 1: Where was that out in.
Speaker 3: Ut at Ul Snider rant, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Ut clubs where they got in the big fight, right.
Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't know. I thought it was there.
Speaker 6: They have tennis courts like around the community, and there
Speaker 6: were fighting because the pickleballers wanted to one of the
Speaker 6: courts to pickleballing and the tennis players were like absolutely
Speaker 6: not suing each other.
Speaker 3: It was a big thing.
Speaker 5: Hmm.
Speaker 1: It's really weird.
Speaker 4: That's a weird thing to think. If somebody's using the court,
Speaker 4: what doesn't matter what they're doing on it. So if
Speaker 4: that's the case, I could skateboard on the court, you follow, Yeah,
Speaker 4: because that's probably the pickleballs are going. What does it matter,
Speaker 4: It's just a cord, you know. So if I want
Speaker 4: to skate, what if I just want a sunbathe, that's
Speaker 4: my time on this court.
Speaker 1: I've reserved this court. I could do whatever I want.
Speaker 5: And so do we really need another paddle sport?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: There is one, right, It's called something called paddle thirty nine.
Speaker 1: Is that right?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Paddle thirty nine. There's one in North Austin off Rutland.
Speaker 4: They're looking to build one in East Austin. They're describing
Speaker 4: it as a mix of tennis and squash and from
Speaker 4: the pictures that I'm looking at, it looks like an
Speaker 4: astro turf court.
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like concrete. Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: I mean it's yeah, it's just another another sport, another pad.
Speaker 6: Okay, is it weird if I'm not one hundred percent shirt?
Speaker 6: What a squash? What do you play squash with?
Speaker 1: Oh, squash? Squash racket.
Speaker 3: It's like I'm imagining badminton.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a racket that looks more like a badminton racket
Speaker 4: but played on more like a racquetball court.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it doesn't have something on the wall the
Speaker 2: front wall that you hit the ball into, like a
Speaker 2: little things across it.
Speaker 1: It's different than a racquetball court.
Speaker 5: I don't know, I'm I'm just still so into highlight.
Speaker 1: I don't JB played handball. I did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, handball was still a thing at the University of
Speaker 4: Texas in the eighties anyway. Had they had a teacher
Speaker 4: there who was like a world champion, and the buddy
Speaker 4: of mine was taking it for you know, a pe credit,
Speaker 4: and he's like, man, I sign a frandball this is
Speaker 4: really fun.
Speaker 5: And I did and actually played in a couple of tournaments.
Speaker 4: But the weird thing about handball, the first semester you
Speaker 4: take the class. You can barely even play it because
Speaker 4: you've got to train your the opposite side of your
Speaker 4: body to do a throw. It's a throwing motion. Wow,
Speaker 4: it's not like a smack motion. It's more like a
Speaker 4: steamless catch and throw. But you have to learn to
Speaker 4: do it. You know, I'm right handed, so for the
Speaker 4: first month you're just learning how to throw with you
Speaker 4: the other side of your body. Yeah, because if you
Speaker 4: just put your hand out and smack it, you'll just
Speaker 4: have a bruised hand and you won't be able to
Speaker 4: do anything. The learning curve on it was steep, but
Speaker 4: it's it's fun. That's old school. Yeah, that's that's prison stuff.
Speaker 4: That's the only place. It's like your dad might have
Speaker 4: played it on the streets of New York City, maybe
Speaker 4: some kind of handball with maybe one wall maybe yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: There's some old school versions of it.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you get sentence a sentence in Huntsville
Speaker 2: or something, and you're good to go, you're gonna get
Speaker 2: all the guys will want you on their team, you'll
Speaker 2: be protected, you'll probably get a little extra from commissary
Speaker 2: if you're real good.
Speaker 4: We're mapping out my prison places, not my good looks,
Speaker 4: handball skills.
Speaker 2: He's JB. I'm Sandy. Trisa's with us. We'll take a
Speaker 2: quick break and we got more coming up. Well, Austin
Speaker 2: hasn't been as excited about filming in Austin since Dazed
Speaker 2: and Confused, which, by the way, JB is joining us
Speaker 2: to it the JB and Sandy Show, and Tricia's here too.
Speaker 1: That's something Austin needs to probably let go up.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 4: It had its thirtieth anniversary, but I remember how they
Speaker 4: hype Dazed and Confused for the twentieth.
Speaker 5: I mean the tenth. I remember the tenth anniversary is
Speaker 5: a big deal.
Speaker 4: Then they made a big deal out of liked the
Speaker 4: twentieth and maybe twenty fifth, and now it's the if
Speaker 4: it's like, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Time to let go. You know, do you think.
Speaker 6: It's just because I McConaughey and he's here. I mean,
Speaker 6: do you think that's why they can't let it go?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of other stuff has been shot
Speaker 2: here that you know is not doesn't have anniversaries.
Speaker 1: What was the was it office space? Right?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the.
Speaker 4: Choshke's that's right. But Jenna's next to Flingers. It was
Speaker 4: the old alligator grill on Celphamar.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I forgot about that.
Speaker 2: I dated a girl for a short while that was
Speaker 2: had a spot in that movie as an extra, and
Speaker 2: she told everybody about it.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 2: Yeah as an extra, Yeah, I mean, but she had
Speaker 2: a credit, so maybe it was more than an extra.
Speaker 2: But anyway, so which one of the Yellowstone starts win?
Speaker 2: And they're shooting one of the prequels in and around Austin.
Speaker 2: But Jab, maybe you can help us and forgive me
Speaker 2: if I've asked you this before, But Trician and I
Speaker 2: have had a long running disagreement that I could whip
Speaker 2: I say, in real life if you put me on
Speaker 2: the you know, if Yellowstone was real and you put
Speaker 2: me into the show, I could whip.
Speaker 3: Rip nonsense, I could take it.
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent certain that I could whip and seen.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, let me connect a couple of dots for
Speaker 4: people back because Dazed and Confused. I didn't know until
Speaker 4: recently until my wife told me Rip Colehauser is his name?
Speaker 1: Rip was in Dazed and Confused?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't know that who was he?
Speaker 4: He was? You know the you know, the older senior
Speaker 4: thugs that were chasing the everyone around with the paddles.
Speaker 1: He was one of them. Really.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so there's your connection of days and Confused in Yellowstone.
Speaker 4: But yeah, so okay, I I love Yellowstone. I love
Speaker 4: the prequels. I love My question wouldn't be whether you
Speaker 4: could whip Rip. It would be whether what's the chick
Speaker 4: on the show. Yeah if Beth and Rip really threw
Speaker 4: down a couple's fight on her.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, But.
Speaker 5: Okay, as we all know, Rip is just a badass.
Speaker 4: Have you seen the scene where the the Harley guys
Speaker 4: en route to Sturgis were on their land.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a.
Speaker 3: Good down their bikes gets off and fixes it.
Speaker 4: Now, I will say, if you like that scene and
Speaker 4: how Rip just handled it like he just came in
Speaker 4: and handled it. I've seen Sandy do the exact same thing.
Speaker 1: Told you, told you I.
Speaker 5: Saw him do it once.
Speaker 4: He he broke up a fight, put a guy in
Speaker 4: a headlock, and didn't spill a drop of his beard
Speaker 4: the whole time, had.
Speaker 5: The guy in a headlock.
Speaker 4: And this was at Lazona Rosa and it's Heyday and
Speaker 4: a couple APD officers come rushing in like and they
Speaker 4: saw what was going on, and they go Sandy. Sandy
Speaker 4: said something to the effect of, hey man, hey man,
Speaker 4: I'm just doing your job here.
Speaker 3: They just sit back and let him do it, let
Speaker 3: him handle it.
Speaker 1: They took him. They hand guy.
Speaker 2: I had him in a headlock, in a reverse chicken wing,
Speaker 2: which is over his head and his arm behind him.
Speaker 1: He wasn't going anywhere. The guy won't give you another one.
Speaker 1: I'll give you another one, and I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't want to give too many details on this,
Speaker 4: but there was another time when Sandy and I were
Speaker 4: in a bar in New Orleans and something got really
Speaker 4: sideways with the check and the manager and they were
Speaker 4: being real jerk. This is a total rip scene. Oh
Speaker 4: you're gonna love this. You don't know this story.
Speaker 1: Okay, So.
Speaker 4: They weren't going to give us our money back or
Speaker 4: solve the problem. And again I'm paraphrasing on exactly what
Speaker 4: Sandy said, but you'll get the idea. He walked over
Speaker 4: to a pool table. Scoop scooped up in his big mittens.
Speaker 4: As we've mentioned before on the show. Today, big old
Speaker 4: mickey mouse fingers of his he reaches down and picks
Speaker 4: up three pool balls in his hand, shows him to
Speaker 4: the manager and he goes, you need to fix this
Speaker 4: problem right now or I'm going to start wrecking the joint.
Speaker 1: My god, And I was.
Speaker 5: Like, oh my god.
Speaker 3: Are you just sitting at the table freaking out?
Speaker 4: Well, you know, hey, it's it's easy to be the
Speaker 4: cocky friend when he's doing stuff like that.
Speaker 3: You're yea in the.
Speaker 1: Back, Yeah, I was going to wreck the place.
Speaker 2: I was going to throw those pool balls at the
Speaker 2: mirrors behind the ball a lot more, buddy.
Speaker 1: Yeah almost went down. Yeah, that was a rip esque
Speaker 1: move that That is very our money back. And they
Speaker 1: changed the bill too, if you remember Yeah, and there's
Speaker 1: probably Tricia.
Speaker 4: There's probably a dozen more stories that are on that
Speaker 4: same caliber. I just don't remember him.
Speaker 6: I I've not seen I've not experienced the Rip version
Speaker 6: of Sandy. I've I feel like I've seen it maybe
Speaker 6: emerge a few times, and I'm all, whoa, whoa whoa
Speaker 6: easy big guy like brought him back down.
Speaker 2: Like when the guy almost killed you at the at
Speaker 2: the hockey game in the parking lot. Yeah, yeah, that
Speaker 2: was one guy was back in his big stupid truck
Speaker 2: up and Tricia had her door open and was getting
Speaker 2: out and he was crushing the door.
Speaker 1: She was between the door in the car.
Speaker 3: And I was banging on his car and he was.
Speaker 2: Crushed closing the door on her hand. And then he
Speaker 2: just backed up and drove off. I'm like, oh, no, no, no.
Speaker 6: Sandy tracked it down. I was all, yeah, we had
Speaker 6: landry with this. I was like, just stay in the car, baby.
Speaker 6: It was I feel like that was a rip moment
Speaker 6: for you too, are N't you know what I mean?
Speaker 6: Confronted with this evidence, maybe I need to rethink my answer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need to think more of me again.
Speaker 6: It's not that I think less of you. I just
Speaker 6: have never seen your rip in action. JB is describing
Speaker 6: something seem very rip.
Speaker 4: Let me let me ask you this about old Cole
Speaker 4: Hauser rip. Has he ever wrestled a bear in one
Speaker 4: I'm gonna.
Speaker 6: Let you know that we've all heard that story about
Speaker 6: forty seven times a ton of Sandy's favorite Wald of
Speaker 6: the Bear.
Speaker 1: That is match with me retirement.
Speaker 6: That is why I said you could never get crips.
Speaker 3: But because that was your claim to fame, Wald of
Speaker 3: the Bear.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, I'm just telling you.
Speaker 3: JB has convinced me.
Speaker 2: I wish this was before cell phones and everyone had
Speaker 2: a camera on a video.
Speaker 1: I wish I had video of that. Waldough taken him down.
Speaker 6: But I mean, don't you think that he was probably
Speaker 6: drugged up and had been raised by people, was never
Speaker 6: gonna hurt you.
Speaker 3: I mean, don't you.
Speaker 1: See the difference they claimed he was undefeated. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: just same.
Speaker 5: I never thought about them being drug That's what a.
Speaker 4: Great gig, like like Vivo Like, I've always said that
Speaker 4: about Vivo too, Like he gets the best seat, he
Speaker 4: doesn't even have to excuse himself to go to the restaurant.
Speaker 3: Cleans it up.
Speaker 1: Stay with us, We've got more coming up.
Speaker 2: Tricia is very dismayed right now because earlier in the show,
Speaker 2: I pointed out that we were watching the Rams and
Speaker 2: Packer football game, and the Rams coach showed up and
Speaker 2: she was looking at the TV and the first time
Speaker 2: she mentioned anything about the games, she goes, well, hello there,
Speaker 2: and it was Sean McVay, the coach.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, you're old enough to be his.
Speaker 3: Mother knocked the wind out of me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's thirty six years six.
Speaker 3: I was a freshman in high school when he was born.
Speaker 3: I could be his mom. Oh my god.
Speaker 6: But it's literally officially the first time in my life
Speaker 6: that I have been compared to somebody by the age
Speaker 6: of you could be their mom. That's never happened before.
Speaker 6: It could be your son doesn't feel great.
Speaker 1: It doesn't do no. I things still like him. Oh
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: You'reitting during cougar stage. That's true, you really are.
Speaker 6: I mean, so that would be so weird except you
Speaker 6: already said the mom thing.
Speaker 3: He's ruined for me.
Speaker 6: I mean now I feel motherly towards him because you
Speaker 6: said that.
Speaker 1: Never say that again, Ladies.
Speaker 2: If you want to he's eye candy, just search Sean
Speaker 2: Sean McBay McVay.
Speaker 1: You'll like it.
Speaker 5: Said.
Speaker 1: Hi, he's your d audio five. All right, it's not
Speaker 1: really a cereal.
Speaker 2: But speaking of football, Julian Edelman, who played for the
Speaker 2: Patriots forever, is pitching this idea.
Speaker 5: You want to know my secret salsa snackhack.
Speaker 1: First you take some toastedos, then add your favorite salsa
Speaker 1: and you mix it. Boom, there you go. You got
Speaker 1: salsa cereal. Not necessary, No.
Speaker 6: Because the longer the chips and the susa, then it
Speaker 6: becomes soggy.
Speaker 1: And the art of dipping, the joy.
Speaker 6: Of dipping right and deciding this bite, I want a
Speaker 6: lot of salt. This bite, I'm just gonna dunk it.
Speaker 6: Just get a little bit on there.
Speaker 1: I'm not going for salsa cereal.
Speaker 3: No, no, nice tried Julian Edelman.
Speaker 1: No one's going to buy that.
Speaker 3: That's done.
Speaker 1: No one's going to make that. Dumb.
Speaker 2: Could you imagine, like at your super Bowl party this year, Hey, everybody,
Speaker 2: here's some salsa cereal.
Speaker 6: Like if we just serve that and didn't say anything,
Speaker 6: people would be like, what super good?
Speaker 3: But then what do you eating with a spoon?
Speaker 1: Spoon?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's disgusting, absolutely not a Hallmark is looking for
Speaker 6: their the next leading man for their Christmas series.
Speaker 1: Here's the promo. They need guys listens.
Speaker 4: Because I bring a lot of good energy to the
Speaker 4: table and be cool a few flannels every once in
Speaker 4: a while.
Speaker 1: Besides my nating smile, there's the perseeerance.
Speaker 4: These aliens charm for somebody who cares, somebody who loves
Speaker 4: their family. It takes a little bit of love and kindness,
Speaker 4: dry character, strong jaw Lie. I will definitely be mister
Speaker 4: Christmas because I can sing dans and act.
Speaker 1: So here I am. I'm ready for this step. I'm committed.
Speaker 1: I'm passionate, full of love, confidence, happy, i embody. A
Speaker 1: lot of the ideals that've done with that stops.
Speaker 3: That was painful to listen to. Those were guys selling themselves.
Speaker 1: Yeah, trying to be the first Mister Christmas for the Hallmark.
Speaker 6: I don't think it matters if you can act or
Speaker 6: if you love your family.
Speaker 3: They're just looking for a hot guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all.
Speaker 6: They're looking for. The guy who said I've got a
Speaker 6: strong jawline. He's the guy pick out of all that

Speaker 2: Leslie Rody and Judy Maggio, who you hear every week
Speaker 2: with at X good News on our show. Now we've
Speaker 2: got them with us and they're joining us. It's just
Speaker 2: a you know what, this is this is just a
Speaker 2: catch up. How are you guys doing.
Speaker 1: Great?
Speaker 7: How are you guys?
Speaker 2: Hi, ladies, We're doing good for our newer Austin Knights.
Speaker 2: Leslie and Judy were mainstays uh in the Austin news
Speaker 2: world for a long long time, and I always get confused,
Speaker 2: Did you guys work together or were you at different
Speaker 2: Were you anchoring against each other?
Speaker 1: Were you guys the were you guys competitors? Leslie, you
Speaker 1: were a ks in right, Yeah.
Speaker 7: I was at kx AN both stemps. I was at
Speaker 7: k x A in two different times.
Speaker 8: Judy was at two different stations, and we were always competitors.
Speaker 1: Did you guys ever? Go ahead, I'm sorry, Judy, go ahead.
Speaker 7: No, I'm just going to.
Speaker 9: Say we became close, close friends and good betties after
Speaker 9: we both left the anchor desk and we realized that
Speaker 9: we had similar life journeys and we just clicked and
Speaker 9: you know, have grown to love each other like sisters
Speaker 9: and loved doing this work to other.
Speaker 7: So it's was but we.
Speaker 9: Were competitors first and didn't really know each other very well.
Speaker 9: So it's kind of a fun story.
Speaker 2: After ten o'clock newscast, did either one of you go
Speaker 2: like back and go, So what did that Leslie do today?
Speaker 1: What did she wear? What did she wear? Were they
Speaker 1: talking about all?
Speaker 9: But I do remember one time we were both at
Speaker 9: a at an interview.
Speaker 7: With governor was Governor Perry or something? And I saw
Speaker 7: you you had it like first, and then I was next.
Speaker 7: It's like, I wonder what she asked him. I was first,
Speaker 7: Like you know.
Speaker 3: She got to go first.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's fun because when we met, we would always
Speaker 8: see each other, and you know, you with competitors.
Speaker 7: You're saying, hey, Judy, how's it going. It's going great?
Speaker 7: We should really get together sometime.
Speaker 8: We'd say yeah, and nothing whatever happened because we end
Speaker 8: up doing that. And then once we met up afterwards,
Speaker 8: we realized that we were good therapists for each other
Speaker 8: in a lot of ways.
Speaker 6: Because y'all know exactly what the other one was going
Speaker 6: through and experiencing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: That's funny.
Speaker 6: Can you imagine what the news would have been like
Speaker 6: if when y'all were both still on the air, y'all
Speaker 6: were seeing like out to dinner, out to lunch. The
Speaker 6: chatter that would have been going on in Austin, What
Speaker 6: is happening.
Speaker 9: We were both super close friends with Robert Hadlock, who
Speaker 9: was actually Leslie's co anchor, but Robert and I anchored
Speaker 9: together many years ago before he was at KXA N
Speaker 9: and kept in touch all these years, so we had
Speaker 9: that bond that we had, the Robert Hadlock bond.
Speaker 7: We were close to him as friends, so we.
Speaker 9: Always knew that, you know, we had a lot of similarities,
Speaker 9: but we just this has been our real joy in
Speaker 9: our lives to have each other and do this project together.
Speaker 3: We talk almost every day. That's awesome.
Speaker 2: The project, which is what about three years old now,
Speaker 2: is at x good News, where you guys are seeking
Speaker 2: out I think you have filled such a void in
Speaker 2: the news cycle of bad news. It's really easy to
Speaker 2: find news everywhere, and you guys have intentionally gone out
Speaker 2: and sought out the good news stories to let you
Speaker 2: know that there's good things and good people right here
Speaker 2: in Austin, Texas, USA. You just need to know about it.
Speaker 2: So I think it's great what you're doing. You got
Speaker 2: a new website too, right.
Speaker 3: All big time Now, we did get a new website.
Speaker 8: It's easy to remember it's atxcodnews dot com. How we
Speaker 8: found that I don't know, but we got it atxgodnews
Speaker 8: dot com and it really is allowing us to sort
Speaker 8: of compile all of our stories in one location and
Speaker 8: also serve as a place where we can write extended stories.
Speaker 7: A little bit more in depth. Like blogs.
Speaker 8: We have video interviews just like this one that we'll
Speaker 8: be putting on our website, those kinds of things. And
Speaker 8: we've noticed recently too, especially in the last few months,
Speaker 8: some people just don't like being on social media as
Speaker 8: much anymore. They don't want to hear all the stuff
Speaker 8: stuff that's out there. So the website is a place
Speaker 8: you can go and find some really good news stories
Speaker 8: without even having to touch social media.
Speaker 3: That's a great nice stuff.
Speaker 9: On Facebook, especially sometimes can be during an election season,
Speaker 9: quite divisive, and you know, our goal has always been
Speaker 9: the opposite. We want to remind people that we're morelike
Speaker 9: than we are different, that we have shared values.
Speaker 7: And common goals.
Speaker 9: And as you said, Sandy, there's so many good things
Speaker 9: happening happening in Central Texas, and I think that when
Speaker 9: you read about happy things going on in the community,
Speaker 9: inspiring wonderful things, that it makes you a more positive
Speaker 9: person and maybe inspires you to go out and volunteer
Speaker 9: your time to particular cause you care about.
Speaker 7: So that's the bottom line on all of this.
Speaker 2: Leslie, you mentioned writing or doing more extensive stories. Can
Speaker 2: you give us our blogging and stuff. You guys are
Speaker 2: really writers at heart, right, I mean you're both anchors,
Speaker 2: both reporters, you're curious people, but at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, you're both writers, aren't you.
Speaker 7: I think we're writers.
Speaker 1: I think storytellers.
Speaker 7: Storytellers is definitely what we are.
Speaker 8: In fact, we've had conversations recently about you know, we
Speaker 8: both have our own businesses and we could be working
Speaker 8: all day and it's the grind.
Speaker 7: But the minute we get.
Speaker 8: A chance to tell a story in ATX good News,
Speaker 8: it's like it's not work anymore.
Speaker 7: It's just a lot of fun to be able to
Speaker 7: share these stories.
Speaker 8: And so you know, you're in your calling, you're in
Speaker 8: your place when when that good thing is happening.
Speaker 7: You know, we've been able to take a story.
Speaker 8: That maybe has you know, four or five sentences on
Speaker 8: social media, but then in a blog we can go
Speaker 8: in add some more photos, really get more in depth
Speaker 8: in terms of maybe some of an interview and add
Speaker 8: some quotations from the people involved and let people understand
Speaker 8: it a little bit better.
Speaker 2: Right, And you could go to the website everyone that
Speaker 2: if you're listening, go to atxgodnews dot com and check
Speaker 2: it out, because I know you guys have put a
Speaker 2: lot of work into this and and what you're doing
Speaker 2: is not easy. I mean, like you said, you guys
Speaker 2: have other jobs, and then you do you're doing this
Speaker 2: as well, so you must love it. Judy, you just
Speaker 2: love the news, don't you.
Speaker 9: Well I do, and I still dabble and is reporting
Speaker 9: as you know. But this is the type of story
Speaker 9: that Leslie I always wanted to cover when we were
Speaker 9: on the anchor desk, but didn't always have the opportunity
Speaker 9: because there's so many other serious stories going on that
Speaker 9: you have to report when you're on the commercial TV station.
Speaker 9: But now we can go, hey, you know, for example,
Speaker 9: this is how the two lives kind of intertwine. I
Speaker 9: was asked to do the interviews for the two people
Speaker 9: who were finalists for Austin police chief.
Speaker 7: The city asked me to do that.
Speaker 9: While I was there, I saw these people with these
Speaker 9: dogs and I said, what are you guys doing here?
Speaker 9: She said, we're the support dogs for APD, and I
Speaker 9: was like what, And you know, these are like the
Speaker 9: comfort dogs that come in when police have been on
Speaker 9: a very serious assignment, something that's maybe traumatic. They bring
Speaker 9: in these support dogs to help the police officers.
Speaker 7: And I said, there's my ATX good.
Speaker 3: News store, right, and that great Dane mine? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: the Great Dane, Tanka and the other dog. I was
Speaker 3: looking at that.
Speaker 6: And that's one of my favorite stories that y'all did,
Speaker 6: because she had they had the photos of the dogs
Speaker 6: and the ladies who are handling the dogs and talking
Speaker 6: about how the cops when they come in are stressed.
Speaker 6: And you can see the moment they start petting the
Speaker 6: dogs that some of the tension just leaves their bodies.
Speaker 6: But I love it that when I was a giant
Speaker 6: Great Dane.
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, that dog. She has three. The head
Speaker 7: of this ferm has three Great Danes.
Speaker 5: Oh gosh.
Speaker 6: One of my friends has two. And I have photos
Speaker 6: when I go visit her. I'm sitting on the couch
Speaker 6: and the dog is standing and I'm sitting in his
Speaker 6: noses literally like eye level. I mean, they're just enormous creatures,
Speaker 6: but they're so sweet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys ever done a story on the APD
Speaker 2: Mounted Patrol the horses from.
Speaker 9: A This woman who heads up the dog thing also
Speaker 9: helps with the horses, and it's like they go out
Speaker 9: and sometime this summer all the horses go and cool
Speaker 9: down in town.
Speaker 7: I'm in a lady out of the lake.
Speaker 9: Yes, we're gonna do a story on that next summer
Speaker 9: when you guys take a horse to chill out at
Speaker 9: the lake.
Speaker 6: Now I go with you when you do that. Yes,
Speaker 6: thank you.
Speaker 7: You'll notice the theme of animals. We do believe that
Speaker 7: animals are good news. I think we usually have an
Speaker 7: animal story once a week.
Speaker 6: I love it. I'm obsessed with the APD Amounted Patrol.
Speaker 6: I do stories about them all the time on the show.
Speaker 6: I've got like top fan badge on their Facebook website,
Speaker 6: and I'm just waiting for them to invite me to
Speaker 6: come out there and see the horses.
