Speaker 2: Yep. And because I grabbed one, just standard old chapstick,
Speaker 2: and I goes this one good, and I was just
Speaker 2: talking about the flavor and it was strawberry icy.
Speaker 1: I thought you would for sure say yes, yeah, But
Speaker 1: what I tell you about the chapstick? He SAIDs two
Speaker 1: waxy two.
Speaker 3: Waxy too hard, you get a drag it across your lips.

Speaker 2: tube EO s s.
Speaker 1: Super bomb. Yeah, that's my new one. That's your new one,
Speaker 1: you know.

Speaker 2: I'll have it for ten years. Yeah, it's two tubes.
Speaker 2: I'll have it for ten years. Tricia, what's first thing?
Speaker 2: Made you laugh?
Speaker 3: I want attention from a very specific set of people
Speaker 3: at a very specific time, and other than that, I'd
Speaker 3: like to be one hundred percent left alone.
Speaker 1: So basically, only when you want THEE.
Speaker 3: When I give this signal, then I want some attention
Speaker 3: I gave, and then when I get the signal, I
Speaker 3: want to be left alone.
Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with wanting to be left alone, right, really,
Speaker 2: I mean, and especially if you're married first, I've been
Speaker 2: married sixteen years.
Speaker 1: Just give each other their space. You never know a
Speaker 1: Trish will barge in. I do. Yeah, you barge in
Speaker 1: in my eye.
Speaker 3: That's one of those times that I'm like and now
Speaker 3: I want attention, so I come barging in.
Speaker 2: We have separate bedrooms in our house, and Trisha will
Speaker 2: just literally barge into my room.
Speaker 1: When I go to her room. I keep pit a little.
Speaker 3: I know you don't. Doors never closed except if I'm sleeping.
Speaker 1: Or doing your I'm afraid I'm gonna catch you doing
Speaker 1: the tibo. Oh no, I'll lock the door if I'm
Speaker 1: doing a typo.
Speaker 3: Nobody has ever seen me with their eyes doing the typo,
Speaker 3: and they never will.
Speaker 1: Well, I've been looking into hidden cameras.

Speaker 2: the word broad is kind of a compliment. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: it means you're tough, means you don't take any crap
Speaker 2: from anybody.
Speaker 3: You're bold, Yeah, you have your opinions, you're easily swayed.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. I always thought, you know, Tricia's kind of
Speaker 2: a broad. If I ever called someone abroad, it's compliment, correct. Yeah,
Speaker 2: some people don't take it that way, but that's the
Speaker 2: way that I see it.
Speaker 1: People. So you found that Instagram account called Glorious Broad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's called Glorious Brides.
Speaker 3: It interviews older women to get their take on steph h.
Speaker 3: They interviewed one woman, her name is Annie Corsen.
Speaker 1: She's an actress.
Speaker 3: She had bit parts and a lot of stuff, and
Speaker 3: she says she learned how to say no after someone
Speaker 3: once invited her to go camping. She didn't want to go,
Speaker 3: she said yes and ended up using poison ivy as
Speaker 3: toilet paper. Here's what she has to say.
Speaker 4: I'm I don't feel any different from when I was sixteen.
Speaker 4: I still think about boys, and I still hate my hair.
Speaker 1: You know that has not changed.
Speaker 4: You know what the big difference is, tell us I
Speaker 4: can say no, and younger people are so anxious to please.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, I can do that. Oh sure I want that.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, that's a good idea.
Speaker 4: I've learned to say I'm sorry. That doesn't really work
Speaker 4: for me. I've never been able to say ever.
Speaker 2: Tricia, you're an early bloomer on saying no because you
Speaker 2: have no problem and say no, Yeah it doesn't interest me, no, thanks.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think I might have gotten it a little bit
Speaker 3: for my grandmother. My grandmother was very much a absolutely
Speaker 3: not no ma'am.
Speaker 1: She's tough broad. Yeah. My grandma was the ultimate tough blood.
Speaker 3: Yes, so I feel like maybe I emulate her a
Speaker 3: little bit It comes with age though, Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 3: for sure learning how to be like mmm, yeah, no,
Speaker 3: I don't want to do that.
Speaker 2: You know, when you really look like a tough broad
Speaker 2: is when you roll your T shirt sleeves up and
Speaker 2: make tank tops out of it. That's what you look like.
Speaker 3: When I'm exercising and I get hot. Yeah, you hate
Speaker 3: it when I do that, But you do it in
Speaker 3: the studio too.

Speaker 1: well that's nothing to sneeze at.
Speaker 2: And did his summer internships at the CIA.
Speaker 3: Oh he's instantly more interesting to me now, Not that
Speaker 3: I didn't think he was interesting before, but the CIA.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that he's clearly recruited by the CIA.
Speaker 2: Could have been a spoon.
Speaker 1: Do you want to work for the CIA?
Speaker 2: To my dad, call all the spies spook books, boy,
Speaker 2: Bogie's bad guys, and they're good guys.

Speaker 2: Sandy Show on Austin's eighties station one O three point one.
Speaker 2: Don't forget Longhorns and Florida Gators Saturday at dk R.
Speaker 2: You can listen to the game right here on what
Speaker 2: oh three point one The JB and Sandy Hour this
Speaker 2: morning and Tomorrow morning from eight until nine o'clock. Download
Speaker 2: the podcast if you miss it by searching the Sandy
Speaker 2: Show on the iHeartRadio app. Look for the ones labeled
Speaker 2: the JB and Sandy Show. But in case you weren't
Speaker 2: here yesterday, here is a little bit of the JB
Speaker 2: and Sandy hour from yesterday. So before the show, we
Speaker 2: were just kind of chatting and stuff, and somehow obituaries
Speaker 2: came up.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think what JB was talking about his time when
Speaker 2: you were working at the Statesman and people would call
Speaker 2: in their obituaries or something.
Speaker 5: There's somebody there on the weekend. Take an obituary call.
Speaker 2: Right, And then we talked about how Tricia's mom, my
Speaker 2: mother in law, is a professional writer, and she's oftentimes
Speaker 2: asked my friends and family stuff to write obituaries, you know.
Speaker 2: And then we got to thinking, who would you want
Speaker 2: if you could pick to write your obituary? Is that
Speaker 2: something you can do? Even do like if when I
Speaker 2: put that my will, like JB's got all my passwords
Speaker 2: and stuff to my computer and my phone and everything
Speaker 2: to clean that out before my kid gets to it.
Speaker 2: A bunch of stuff in there she didn't need to
Speaker 2: know about. Or yeah, I don't need you to know
Speaker 2: about either. But sometimes you find people and find things
Speaker 2: when people die. We had a friend she had something
Speaker 2: in her nightstand we were shocked, and she.
Speaker 3: Had given she had given clear instructions to our other
Speaker 3: friend to go in and get it out. What age
Speaker 3: you are, that's a worry.
Speaker 1: So who would you? I'll go first.
Speaker 2: If you could pick the person to write your obituary,
Speaker 2: you know who I would want it to be.
Speaker 1: You might not find this as a surprise. I want
Speaker 1: JB to write it. Oh lord, it would be funny
Speaker 1: because it would be clever.
Speaker 5: It wouldn't be the normal obituary room he walked into.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would. I could do that, but I would
Speaker 1: agonize over it. Yeah you know what I mean? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I I mean, but you're a great writer, JB.
Speaker 5: You could do it, but I've I've I've worked in
Speaker 5: every medium out there, much like you. But writing is
Speaker 5: the hardest one because it's so concrete. With with radio,
Speaker 5: you can go. I didn't say that. It's so easy
Speaker 5: to deny if you have a flub, but something written
Speaker 5: is so permanent.
Speaker 1: It's just dan if it's an obituary and obituates the
Speaker 1: final say about this person.
Speaker 5: I was asked to eulogize my grandmother and it was
Speaker 5: just so painful.
Speaker 1: I it was wonderful to do and honorable to do,
Speaker 1: but you're done with it. You're just not satisfied. You're like,
Speaker 1: that could have been better, that could have been better.
Speaker 2: And I remember I've done a couple of eulogies as well,
Speaker 2: and I don't remember what I said.
Speaker 1: I honestly do not. It just like went away.
Speaker 2: But I know people came up to me afterwards and
Speaker 2: said that was great, But I honestly, I just don't remember.
Speaker 1: Well, you're very good in public speaking. I'm better.
Speaker 5: I'd be more comfortable doing something written and handing it
Speaker 5: over than presenting it. God me too, You're better at presenting.
Speaker 5: And right you write it, I'll say it. Yeah, Tricia,
Speaker 5: Who's gonna who would write euro obituary?
Speaker 1: It'd be my best friend Sean. She did the toast.
Speaker 3: She was my maid of honor at our wedding and
Speaker 3: she did the toast, and I just remember, again, I
Speaker 3: want it because she knows me better than anybody. She's funny,
Speaker 3: she's a great writer. People would laugh and not cry.
Speaker 3: And I just remember the whole our whole wedding party,
Speaker 3: the whole wedding, all the guests just rolling with laughter
Speaker 3: when she did her toast. Because I can't remember what
Speaker 3: it was, but it was classic Sean funny and I
Speaker 3: loved it.
Speaker 1: So she's it would be seanb how about you, Well,
Speaker 1: it's funny.
Speaker 5: I have two things in mind if I'm on my
Speaker 5: deathbed and someone's going to do one to me while
Speaker 5: I'm still alive. My friend Larry from high school, because
Speaker 5: he remembers and all these stories from high school and
Speaker 5: I have zero recollection of her.
Speaker 1: He's your historian of your of your friends group. I
Speaker 1: don't remember. I bust it. I just I did not
Speaker 1: enjoy high school. I just kind of blocked it all out.
Speaker 5: I just just trudged through it, couldn't wait to get
Speaker 5: out of there. And so he'll tell me stories and
Speaker 5: I don't have any reason to believe he's making it up.
Speaker 5: And I really like that's outrageous. How old is it possible?
Speaker 5: I don't remember that, Like, he told me a story.
Speaker 5: I'll be quick with this. He told me a story.
Speaker 5: But we were in like heart ease or something, and
Speaker 5: we were always dressed like idiots. We were always working
Speaker 5: on cars, hot rides, or we were probably wearing cross
Speaker 5: country running gear, which is back then was really short
Speaker 5: shorts and singlet tank tops and these. There was a
Speaker 5: whole group of thugs that were just you could tell
Speaker 5: they were just laughing and poking front of us at us.
Speaker 5: And then I noticed they went and sat down with
Speaker 5: their food, and the person driving left their whole wat
Speaker 5: of keys on the counter by the register. So I
Speaker 5: just was like, Larry, come with me. I didn't remember
Speaker 5: the story, but this is how he told it to me.
Speaker 5: And so we went outside and waited in his mustang
Speaker 5: for these people to start coming around looking for their.
Speaker 2: Keys, and Larry's bustay, yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 5: And so these people who had been laughing at us
Speaker 5: all evening when we see him outside just stuck and
Speaker 5: looking around and the grass and everything, we roll up
Speaker 5: and we were like looking.
Speaker 1: For these.
Speaker 5: And then floored it and threw them into a field somewhere.
Speaker 5: But okay, more of an honest answer is I would
Speaker 5: be honored if Michael Barnes from The Statesman.
Speaker 1: And he doesn't do that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he but you know, he's he's written most
Speaker 5: of the Austin history stuff over the last forty years.
Speaker 5: And we did a podcast together for a few years
Speaker 5: called Austin Found Telling Short Histories.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he he quite often does eulogies, especially of
Speaker 5: that I'm a prominent Austin Kite, but prominent Austinites. And
Speaker 5: I asked him about it once. I said, do you
Speaker 5: enjoy doing those? He's like, I love it, you know.
Speaker 5: I get together with the family and friends and family
Speaker 5: and collect their stories and just you know, he's just
Speaker 5: a true true journalist in a world where we don't
Speaker 5: have many of those left. Yeah, And he's like, I
Speaker 5: just want to leave them, you know, something special for
Speaker 5: their family.
Speaker 1: I'm paraphraser, but it's just like he's a professional.
Speaker 2: Right, and he gets to the media, he gets the
Speaker 2: story from the family and then he puts it into
Speaker 2: something that they're going to have forever.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting, Michael Barnes. Better put him on notice.
Speaker 2: Let him know now.
Speaker 1: He still walk everywhere, Yeah, which is why you'll probably
Speaker 1: outlive me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true. He walks down Congress. You'll see him
Speaker 5: every day, and he picks up trash every day.
Speaker 1: Really, Yeah, I see a guy Austin treasure, this guy.
Speaker 1: And it's funny.
Speaker 5: I told him once, I said, it's it's interesting Michael,
Speaker 5: that you walk every day with you know, with the
Speaker 5: little claw to pick up trash. Yeah, I said. Two
Speaker 5: of my other favorite writers do the same thing. They
Speaker 5: do long walks and pick up trash. Michael Barry, No,
Speaker 5: you're thinking of Berry, Dave Berry. But David Sedaris does
Speaker 5: that to France. He lives in France and walks and
Speaker 5: picks up trash. And Stephen King does that. Really he
Speaker 5: got hit. He had a bad car. He got hit
Speaker 5: doing it once because he would walk on the side
Speaker 5: of the highway.
Speaker 1: Accident once. But anyhow, that's.
Speaker 2: Precily a guy all the time at one eighty three
Speaker 2: and Nick Neil that's walking and picking up trash. But
Speaker 2: he looks like he's a homeless guy. I don't know
Speaker 2: if he is or not, or if you know. I
Speaker 2: thought when I first saw him, he was like, you know,
Speaker 2: doing community service hours. You know that the judge gave
Speaker 2: us what they do. That's just what he does. He
Speaker 2: keeps that whole side of one eighty three clean. God
Speaker 2: knows there's enough people out there making it dirty. I oh,
Speaker 2: I hate seeing people litter.
Speaker 1: You don't see it very I know, you really don't
Speaker 1: see it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very often, but when you do, it's just even
Speaker 2: it's just a cigarette.
Speaker 1: That makes me mad. It's like the world is not
Speaker 1: your ashtray.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was behind a service van.
Speaker 3: This was years ago when we lived out on the
Speaker 3: lake and I was following behind them and they threw
Speaker 3: two what a burger bags out the window on the
Speaker 3: side of the road. I was outraged, but the phone
Speaker 3: number to their company was painted on their van, so
Speaker 3: while I was behind them, I called and I was like, so,
Speaker 3: two guys in one of your vans. I gave them
Speaker 3: like the number of the van and I told them
Speaker 3: what I just saw them do.
Speaker 1: And we followed them and I pulled up next to
Speaker 1: him at the light.
Speaker 3: The lady must have said, there's a lady behind you
Speaker 3: that's reporting you, and they looked at me and I
Speaker 3: just made at him and I was just like, not cool.
Speaker 1: And you can say good night to this one.
