Speaker 1: tough time with that word. Scheduled program. The first thing
Speaker 1: we need to talk about, friends is and JB. You've
Speaker 1: got some history with Chuck Woolery passed away. Yeah, years old,
Speaker 1: and you and Chuck used to be boys, man, I know.
Speaker 2: And it's.
Speaker 3: When we heard the news. My mother in law called
Speaker 3: my wife because they both both had a crush on Chuckway.
Speaker 1: Just just real quick in case you're like Chuck Willery
Speaker 1: Chuck Willlery, Yeah, Chuck.
Speaker 2: Rollery was the dating game guy. He was a game
Speaker 2: show host that action.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's done a ton of them, and people
Speaker 3: forget he originally started with Wheel of Fortune, but most
Speaker 3: people think two and two love connection, and he's done
Speaker 3: a lot of other stuff. But yeah, my my wife
Speaker 3: and her mom would would watch it together, you know when,
Speaker 3: and they both had a crush on him. I think
Speaker 3: most women had a crush on him. He was just
Speaker 3: smooze right.
Speaker 2: Handsome devil.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I did. I did get to know him
Speaker 3: over the years. And the weirdest way I had I
Speaker 3: met him at a a cl pre party kind of
Speaker 3: thing and someone had told me he was really into airstreams,
Speaker 3: and so I had something to talk to him about, right,
Speaker 3: it's different. So we hit it off. And and then
Speaker 3: at the time I had our air stream and Pecan
Speaker 3: Grove our V part on Barbar Springs, the last remaining
Speaker 3: r V park of the three that were there. But
Speaker 3: and then I helped him finagle his way into the park,
Speaker 3: which was near impossible, right.
Speaker 4: Right, they had nothing on lockdown and waiting there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was like, Chuck, don't worry, we'll get
Speaker 3: you in, bro, we'll get you in. I said, you
Speaker 3: just got to charm their pants.
Speaker 2: Off and lie if you have to, you know, And.
Speaker 3: And he's pretty charming, yeah, right, And so for several years,
Speaker 3: you know, We had our airstreams about, you know, four
Speaker 3: lots apart, and I'd see him. He'd like to smoke
Speaker 3: the cigarettes, and so he'd be walking up and down
Speaker 3: the road having a cigarette, and so I'd always chat
Speaker 3: with him. We just set out front and chat. And
Speaker 3: this is the weird thing too, This was not planned
Speaker 3: at all, but one day he came down. So he
Speaker 3: lived in Horseshoe Bay for the last twenty years or so.
Speaker 3: He was uh, he was actually hired to be a
Speaker 3: spokesman because a lot of people retire in Horseshoe Bay
Speaker 3: and he's just that good voice and face for that community. Right,
Speaker 3: and then he was like, screw this, I'm moving here.
Speaker 3: It's like I could go back to la and do
Speaker 3: my work, you know. But he lived in Horseshoe Bay
Speaker 3: and love bass fishing.
Speaker 2: Yep. Every day.
Speaker 3: He had one of those condos where that your boat's
Speaker 3: underneath your condo, Like go in your own garage every
Speaker 3: morning out there bass fishing. And the other funny thing
Speaker 3: was one day he showed up on a motorcycle identical
Speaker 3: to mine.
Speaker 2: You guys go wild. It's like you're come from the
Speaker 2: same cloth.
Speaker 3: And then one of the finer moments. You know, we
Speaker 3: were we were hanging out there. My wife is with me.
Speaker 3: We're in Pecan Grove and Chuck is like, I let's
Speaker 3: go down to my you know, my airstream and we
Speaker 3: were checking it out. It was a little bit different
Speaker 3: than ours, same size and you know, air streamers kind
Speaker 3: of geeky that way. And then he's like, mind if
Speaker 3: I play a little guitar. A lot of people don't
Speaker 3: know is he Before he got into television and moved
Speaker 3: to La he tried to make it in Nashville, very
Speaker 3: very accomplished guitar player, like incredible, and in fact, if
Speaker 3: you search it, there's like on some primetime special he's
Speaker 3: doing a duet with Dolly Parton.
Speaker 2: Yeah he was. He was legit.
Speaker 3: So he had all these amazing Nashville stories from back
Speaker 3: in the day and Hollywood stories from rat Pack era on. Uh.
Speaker 3: But he starts playing guitar and my wife is like,
Speaker 3: oh my.
Speaker 4: Instantly sexier.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But then if you and you know, it got to
Speaker 3: be a bit much. You know, rest in peace, Chuck.
Speaker 3: But if you were following him once he started podcasting
Speaker 3: later he got a little overboard on politics.
Speaker 2: He was really conservative and which is try.
Speaker 1: But we did talk politics, yeah right, yeah, yeah, hat
Speaker 1: to have friends that don't have your same political beliefs.
Speaker 1: By the way, there's a lot of stuff going around
Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving, the people saying that you don't don't go
Speaker 1: to your friend's house that didn't vote the way that
Speaker 1: you wanted them to a family's house that didn't vote
Speaker 1: how you agree, and that is absolute horse out.
Speaker 4: That's insane.
Speaker 3: But I don't know whether we agreed or not. I
Speaker 3: just didn't want to talk. Like if like we went
Speaker 3: to dinner and all we did was talk politics, I'm like.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know, But I love the guy.
Speaker 3: Loved hanging out with him. He had My wife kept
Speaker 3: trying to encourage him to write a book. Every story
Speaker 3: he told would blow your mind.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Really just couldn't believe that he was rubbing elbow's like
Speaker 3: with everyone in Hollywood in the fifties sixties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you know that?
Speaker 1: Do you know when he passed away, if he was
Speaker 1: still married to the woman that I met when I
Speaker 1: met him, Do you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't know if they were, he was, he had
Speaker 3: four marriages at it, and I don't know. I kind
Speaker 3: of lost touch with them after, you know, it's just
Speaker 3: the politics got to be too much. Plus we neither
Speaker 3: of us were in Pecong Grove anymore. It got to
Speaker 3: be that place got to be too expensive, if you
Speaker 3: can believe that.
Speaker 5: My grandfather when he moved to Austin in the sixties,
Speaker 5: he had a trailer at in Pecanng Grove and my
Speaker 5: mom learned how to drive on that little just a
Speaker 5: little road in.
Speaker 4: The little loop. That's what she drove up and down.
Speaker 3: That's where my daughter learned. She learned to ride a
Speaker 3: bike in Zilker Park. But then she would just do
Speaker 3: loops on her bike. He probably did the same thing
Speaker 3: when you're a kid. Yeah, just do little laps around
Speaker 3: Pecanng Grove. Oh go ahead, lets say, and she would
Speaker 3: go another funny pecand Grove thing. My daughter would ride around.
Speaker 3: She would visit all the clowns that live there, like
Speaker 3: professional clown. Yeah there was doodle Bug, Limpy and the Balloonatic.
Speaker 2: That's not creepy at all that your child visit the clowns. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's not weird at all.
Speaker 1: So she made me think of, uh, maybe not right now,
Speaker 1: but maybe later on in the show. You can tell
Speaker 1: the story about roller skating up the state Capitol's it's.
Speaker 2: A great story. Great, we will get into that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was cool. I didn't realize how cool at
Speaker 5: the time. I now realized it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I figured out the first thing that I am going
Speaker 1: to do when Tricia divorces me.
Speaker 2: I know exactly what it's going to be.
Speaker 1: When when it's always been a matter of when we've
Speaker 1: been together for sixteen years, we've got four more years
Speaker 1: until we sit down and have the state of the
Speaker 1: marriage address when we're like you want to you don't
Speaker 1: want to contract or not or you know, or just
Speaker 1: kind of go our own way.
Speaker 2: Our daughter will be grown and gone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, off to college and say that if
Speaker 3: my wife divorced me, I'd be like, yeah, I saw
Speaker 3: that common you know, right, yeah, like if she started
Speaker 3: telling me by yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. You don't,
Speaker 3: don't you save your words?
Speaker 4: Were staying so long?
Speaker 2: Actually right, you want to try to do.
Speaker 1: This without lawyers or with how do you want to
Speaker 1: do this? Yeah, let's be cool about it. So there's
Speaker 1: really I'll tell you exactly what it happened. So as
Speaker 1: we have mentioned many times, and I hope not too
Speaker 1: much but the last couple months, Tricia and I have
Speaker 1: been walking every single day, well we take one day off,
Speaker 1: and we're walking about four and a half miles every
Speaker 1: day at the Brushy Creek Trail and it's helped me
Speaker 1: lose some weight. I'm down almost twenty pounds in two months,
Speaker 1: which is good. I'm also watching what I eat and
Speaker 1: I boy actually noticed it, like I saw some photos
Speaker 1: how fat my face was, and I sent it to Tricia.
Speaker 2: I go, how did you let me get this fat? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, as I had that moment when you got
Speaker 1: on the scale, the number I call it the number.
Speaker 2: I was like, whoa, he can't bad number. It's a
Speaker 2: bad number.
Speaker 1: It's gonna go one way or the other here, and
Speaker 1: I'm not letting go the bad way.
Speaker 3: You've always been able to lose weight quickly since I've known. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's just very when you put your mind to it.
Speaker 5: I remember, probably I don't know, fifteen years ago, I
Speaker 5: was laying in bed and he was standing in the
Speaker 5: bathroom and he stood on the scale and he goes,
Speaker 5: oh my god, I think I lost eight pounds, and
Speaker 5: I was, screw you, right, think you lost it?
Speaker 4: Sounds like on accident.
Speaker 3: Not cool.
Speaker 1: So we've been walking and a good friend of mine,
Speaker 1: his name is David McMillan. If you spent any time
Speaker 1: in Austin, a no ever heard of David McMillan. He's
Speaker 1: been in the mortgage business forever and he's a great.
Speaker 4: Guy, a great, great guy.
Speaker 1: And he boys, he got some stories about the Austin
Speaker 1: blues scene.
Speaker 2: I mean he ran a.
Speaker 1: Motel on East just east of thirty five where all
Speaker 1: the blues musicians that were playing at Antone's that they
Speaker 1: stayed there, and he was the manager of that motel.
Speaker 2: Boys, he got some.
Speaker 4: Stories, incredible stories.
Speaker 2: It's great stuff. Anyway. So David is a he's been
Speaker 2: you know, walking too.
Speaker 1: So he texted me and he's like, hey, let's go
Speaker 1: knock out, you know, four miles this morning. Like okay,
Speaker 1: cool net. Tricia and I at the Brushy Creek trail
Speaker 1: at ten o'clock this is Thanksgiving morning, and I said,
Speaker 1: and bring the dogs. He's got two Bernese Mountain dogs.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen those dogs? Huge, giant and they've
Speaker 1: he's got a male and a female river and bears
Speaker 1: the male and they're or they look like cartoon characters.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what.
Speaker 1: They're just giant, lovable dogs and they're they're beautiful. And
Speaker 1: so everybody we walked by on the trail commented on
Speaker 1: these dogs, right.
Speaker 5: And you buddy, children, adults with nuts and pictures.
Speaker 1: People wanted to get pictures with the dogs. It was
Speaker 1: like it was like there were celebrities these dogs. And
Speaker 1: so it just dawned on me. I'm like, the first
Speaker 1: thing I'm gonna do when Tricia divorces me is get
Speaker 1: two Bernies Mountain dogs.
Speaker 3: First thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the first thing I am getting.
Speaker 1: And I mean king of just rent them, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean for a little while.
Speaker 5: Because cal David and be like, can I take the
Speaker 5: dogs for a couple of days?
Speaker 2: Boy? They're cool dogs. That just yeah, that would be cool.
Speaker 3: That's what it's like with my little dog Clyde.
Speaker 2: Oh is it?
Speaker 3: Everybody stops me, like every well, let me I take
Speaker 3: that back. It's funny because I usually go down I
Speaker 3: take them down to South Congress and I'll sit there
Speaker 3: at Joe's or like more down at Meteor or anyway,
Speaker 3: and I just hang out and everybody stops pet this
Speaker 3: ugly goofy dog. And then I took him. I met
Speaker 3: my dad out and and uh like out by the
Speaker 3: gallery to watch the Longhorn game, you go, and no
Speaker 3: one cared there. Now I'm in dripping springs and everyone's fancy.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, it wasn't by the gallery. It was more
Speaker 3: like dripping springs. But now it's like, oh, this is
Speaker 3: fancy pure bread.
Speaker 4: Before something cares, it.
Speaker 3: Was all like labordoodles and like purebread, goldens and labs.
Speaker 3: And they're just looking at my dog like it was
Speaker 3: a rat that didn't belong.
Speaker 2: They didn't get the memos.
Speaker 1: They didn't get the memo that to be an Austin night,
Speaker 1: you gotta have kind of a broken or messed up dog.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yep, yeah, yep exactly. But yeah, that's a
Speaker 3: that's a good tactic.
Speaker 5: Yeah, dude, you won't be single for long, that's right, right,
Speaker 5: And you get someone to help you with the dogs too,
Speaker 5: if you're lucky.
Speaker 2: But they're they're funny, man. It was just and there
Speaker 2: was it was pretty we know.
Speaker 1: What else was funny is we were walking with these
Speaker 1: two giant dogs and there were this dude and three
Speaker 1: women and they had little was it two or three
Speaker 1: little ship shoes with them. Yeah, I was walking the
Speaker 1: little ships and we got by him. I leaned over
Speaker 1: to Trisha, Go, if I was that dude, I'd be
Speaker 1: so embarrassed.
Speaker 4: Mountains of dogs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has to be either huge or tiny and ugly.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't get attention that tiny dog for one
Speaker 5: of the women he was walking with.
Speaker 4: I'm sure it was probably one of their dogs.
Speaker 5: But yeah, that's like a comparison issue for sure, right there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're cool dogs. But that's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: I've already got my plan. I'm gonna have the dogs
Speaker 1: as soon as the first huh no no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: as soon as I get as soon as I get
Speaker 1: a place to live, I'll have those two dogs and
Speaker 1: a girlfriend.
Speaker 3: That's a fortune plan of attack. Tricia, what's your first move?
Speaker 4: I I don't know. I hadn't gotten as far as
Speaker 4: Sandy took the dogs. I can't do that. I don't
Speaker 4: want to copy him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is the equivalent for you know what? The
Speaker 2: equivalent probably is.
Speaker 4: Just take the ladies out. I'll just do a bar,
Speaker 4: something low cut. I'll meet somebody, don't worry about me.
Speaker 5: Pick up in a cool pick up in a cool
Speaker 5: pickup truck with a cool pickup truck.
Speaker 4: Yeah, lived the land, owned some horses.
