Speaker 2: highlights from there, just all all business, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was a conference. I was in and out. It
Speaker 1: was one of those ones where it's at the airport hotel,
Speaker 1: and so I didn't see anything. And it was bad
Speaker 1: weather too, yeah, so it wouldn't have been that great anyway.
Speaker 1: So I saw the hotel and the restaurant next door.
Speaker 1: That's it in the airport.
Speaker 2: You mentioned that your your daughter is moving you guys,
Speaker 2: are she's renting a house.
Speaker 1: She was on Lamar, right, Yeah, she was on an
Speaker 1: apartment off South Lamar.
Speaker 3: And she's just not love an apartment life. I get it.
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, you know, she's twenty three now.
Speaker 1: I thought she'd like the rooftop pool and the gym
Speaker 1: and they have a coworking space and lounge and underground
Speaker 1: parking is gold in Austin, Texas, right, sure, sure, But
Speaker 1: she's like, nah, it's not my thing, not my thing.
Speaker 3: And so we found a cute.
Speaker 1: Little house just north of thirty fifth Street, east of Mopac. Cute,
Speaker 1: cute little house, and so yeah, we'll start. Luckily, we
Speaker 1: have her apartment through the end of the month, so
Speaker 1: we can slowly move in.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, right.
Speaker 1: It's a little costly to do that. I wouldn't recommend it,
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, we'll get her all moved in. We've
Speaker 1: got time.
Speaker 3: That's fun for her.
Speaker 1: We literally just just got the keys yesterday. We haven't
Speaker 1: moved a thing in right on neighborhood though, it is
Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's near Central Market, the you know, the
Speaker 1: original Central Market, and there's just that whole like lamar
Speaker 1: Burnett North lamar burn It is just going through such
Speaker 1: a change mm hmm everything around there.
Speaker 3: That's as north as she's ever lived, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, she's lived in Westlake and South Austin,
Speaker 1: Travis Heights and South Lamar.
Speaker 3: Right, it's a little bit further away from you and
Speaker 3: Aaron as well. It's the only time north of the
Speaker 3: river for her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, because it's I know, I used
Speaker 1: to when I'd live in Westlake, I'd go, yeah, south
Speaker 1: of the river.
Speaker 3: Most people don't think of.
Speaker 1: Westlake as South Austin, but I would claim that it
Speaker 1: was South Austin, right exactly.
Speaker 3: She's never lived north.
Speaker 1: But that's the thing though, that's a that's the thing
Speaker 1: though for like as her parents, and you want to
Speaker 1: get you know, you want to be able to go
Speaker 1: back and forth as needed.
Speaker 3: Right, Crossing the river can be horrific at.
Speaker 5: Times, certain time of the day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, imagine what it was like before the bridges. What's
Speaker 2: that I said? Imagine what it was like before the bridges?
Speaker 1: Oh right, Oh, that wasn't I mean, if you see
Speaker 1: some of the old pictures before they damned it up
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty, I think there were places where it
Speaker 1: was passable, even back when it was wagons. I think
Speaker 1: it was down near Pleasant Valley. There's still some old
Speaker 1: wagon trails on the rocks. Yeah, that's where they used
Speaker 1: to cross because it wasn't damned up.
Speaker 2: Isn't funny? As the older you get, the more interested
Speaker 2: you are in history. Yeah, I'm waiting for bird watching
Speaker 2: to become a thing.
Speaker 4: What exactly is the age that you when you're talking
Speaker 4: to somebody, you tell them what route you took to
Speaker 4: get there. That's a certain age too, Yeah, or when
Speaker 4: your streets.
Speaker 2: Your mother does that when they get to her house
Speaker 2: and you know, you get there, it goes did you
Speaker 2: did you take mopack to blah blah blah and then
Speaker 2: go left and it's like, yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: The route becomes very important that I still it never
Speaker 1: gets sold on SNL the Californians and they're just spitting
Speaker 1: out all the highways and they're rout they.
Speaker 3: Took the number.
Speaker 1: Oh right, it is so and they always break character
Speaker 1: because it's so funny.
Speaker 3: Coming up, Tricia has the story We Love? What do
Speaker 3: you have?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 4: We're going to talk about a sport that was started
Speaker 4: in Austin back in two thousand and three and it
Speaker 4: has now spread to hundreds of cities around the world
Speaker 4: and Texas is getting ready to host one of the tournaments. Sandy,
Speaker 4: you have first hand interaction with this particular sport.
Speaker 3: Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 2: Versus got the Story We Love and just a moment
Speaker 2: a reminder give us a follow on Instagram. It is
Speaker 2: at JB Sandy at X and of course the podcast
Speaker 2: is available every single day.
Speaker 3: I can't be here for a full hour. Just search
Speaker 3: JB and Sandy on the iHeartRadio app. The Stories We Love.
Speaker 5: Live from the Lester Holt Studios.
Speaker 4: It's Tricia Delicia all.
Speaker 5: Right, Sandy flat track Derby. Do you know what sport
Speaker 5: I'm talking about when I say that Derby? Roller Derby?
Speaker 4: Yes, the Texas roller Girls. I did not realize that
Speaker 4: roller derby was still a thing. I remember hearing about
Speaker 4: it like back in the day. I don't know, fifteen
Speaker 4: years ago, something like that kind of had a rise
Speaker 4: and then I haven't heard much since then. But the
Speaker 4: Texas roller Girls are hosting in June June fourteenth and
Speaker 4: fifteenth the Junior Roller Derby Association Female Division Playoffs for
Speaker 4: the first time in Austin.
Speaker 3: Really.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's a big deal. We have our own team.
Speaker 4: They have four teams underneath them for home teams. I
Speaker 4: love the names of the teams. The hell Mary's, the
Speaker 4: Honky Tonk Heartbreakers, the Hot Red Honeys, and the Hustlers.
Speaker 4: The Hustlers Yep and yep. They are competing again. Austin
Speaker 4: is hosting it for the very first time. World teams
Speaker 4: coming in.
Speaker 3: Wow. I should take my daughter to that. I think
Speaker 3: she could get into that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, yeah, she she likes pain and suffering.
Speaker 1: You know, she's she's pretty athletic. I could totally see
Speaker 1: her getting into this. I think I should take her,
Speaker 1: you should, that'd be good.
Speaker 2: I remember watching it in the seventies on TV, and
Speaker 2: I remember too they had this one girl and she
Speaker 2: had a really big booty and she would go around
Speaker 2: just bumping people off of the track.
Speaker 5: Isn't that like her job?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 5: That's her job cammeras, Yes.
Speaker 2: And they would whip her around there and that was
Speaker 2: her move. But I always thought roller derby was kind
Speaker 2: of like professional wrastling.
Speaker 3: A little bit fixed. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 5: It's a little bit theatrical.
Speaker 4: Well, if you go to the Texas roller Girls page,
Speaker 4: they kind of explain what it is and they're like,
Speaker 4: it's a mix of roller skating, athleticism and theatrics for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's definitely some athleticism going on there. I had
Speaker 2: some experience with that because my rugby club, the Austin Hunts,
Speaker 2: we used to do some security for the roller derby
Speaker 2: and they would pay us to do it, and so
Speaker 2: we'd go out there and there was never any problems,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. We were just kind of
Speaker 2: there standing around, yeah, watching the Well, there's no.
Speaker 3: There was never any problems because the Huns were there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the giant men were guarding everything.
Speaker 1: That's true through strength, yes, said Ronald Reagan, right.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly right. But that's cool. It's and they have
Speaker 2: been at it for a long time. Yeah, with this
Speaker 2: in Austin. It came to Austin. They said the flat
Speaker 2: track in two thousand and three. There's also a banked
Speaker 2: track version of it. Was it too expensive to buy
Speaker 2: the get the banked one.
Speaker 3: Or you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: I guess really really won't pay for a banked one,
Speaker 4: so they's.
Speaker 2: They used to have men's roller derby too, really not
Speaker 2: in Austin, but I mean I remember seeing men on
Speaker 2: TV doing it.
Speaker 5: I've only ever seen it or heard about it with women.
Speaker 4: We actually knew somebody who was on Cindy.
Speaker 3: Yes, Cindy, she was on the team. It's funny.
Speaker 1: I went to a banked track roller derby way back,
Speaker 1: like probably the early early nineties to see Joe Eely play.
Speaker 1: He played in the middle of the track or like
Speaker 1: a break Joe Eely or afterward or something.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: And I went with someone who you know, Sandy, Wait,
Speaker 1: this is before probably when you and I first met,
Speaker 1: but a guy named Jimmy Steele.
Speaker 3: He's a mutual friend. Jimmy lives in New bron Fules.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, he's a radio program legendary radio programmer. He's
Speaker 1: a big fan of Joe E Lee. Like, we went
Speaker 1: to that show together at a roller Derby.
Speaker 3: I wonder if he was dating the roller Derby girls
Speaker 3: and that's how Joe E Lee ended up there. That's funny, right,
Speaker 3: isn't that random? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's super random.
Speaker 3: I want to go when is? When is one of
Speaker 3: these playoff games?
Speaker 4: The playoff games are June fourteenth and fifteenth at the
Speaker 4: Millennium Youth Entertainment Complex. You can buy tickets at at
Speaker 4: the Texas Roller Girls page website.
Speaker 2: You don't I always remember about ticket Like when our
Speaker 2: daughter was younger, she'd go go roller skating and or
Speaker 2: have a skate party or something like that. Dude, I
Speaker 2: don't know, Jimmy, how long it's been since you've been
Speaker 2: in a roller rink. But it is still wildly popular.
Speaker 2: It's still popular and adults there are like forty something
Speaker 2: year old dudes out there just doing their thing.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, skate.
Speaker 1: My daughter has a pair of roller skates, like not rollerblades,
Speaker 1: roller skates and yeah, don't go do it every day
Speaker 1: now and it's still fun.
Speaker 4: But you know what the new thing is now you
Speaker 4: don't listen to the music that they're playing.
Speaker 5: You wear.
Speaker 4: They're wearing their own headphones and playing their own music.
Speaker 4: That's weird.
Speaker 2: But there's a group of guys. I remember seeing like
Speaker 2: three or four of them, and they had this whole routine. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they did around the floor. It was kind of very
Speaker 2: like Soul Train kind of you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: smooth yeah and sleek.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was cool.
Speaker 2: And then the one over off of off of one
Speaker 2: to eighty three skate Land.
Speaker 3: They're expanding.
Speaker 4: They're expanding into the old antique mall right, and I
Speaker 4: think they're adding maybe Bowling Alley into that section two.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: All I can say is that I was so relieved
Speaker 4: when our daughter was old enough to figure out how
Speaker 4: to stop herself not using the half high concrete wall. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's how. That was the way she would figure out
Speaker 4: to stop herself. She flipped over it a couple of times. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I was like, you've got to use your stop, run your.
Speaker 3: I thought she's going to go through it. I thought
Speaker 3: she was going on.
Speaker 5: I thought she had carnal injuries.
Speaker 3: One time, right, Well, that's fun. Get out and support that,
Speaker 3: otherwise it'll go away and then Austin Nights'll be all
Speaker 3: been out of state because the Austin Roller girls went away.
Speaker 4: And what's their team name, the Texas roller They have
Speaker 4: four teams, they have like four different teams that they
Speaker 4: work in her one of my favorite names, the Texecutioners.
Speaker 2: Their team to be feared, right, definitely fear of that, right,
Speaker 2: that's the story.
Speaker 3: We love.
Speaker 2: Stay with us more coming up on Austin Davies Station
Speaker 2: one O three point one. Our daughter celebrated her sixteenth
Speaker 2: birthday on Friday, had a party on Saturday. And what
Speaker 2: they did was we rented a limousine and her and
Speaker 2: ten of her friends got in the limousine and drove
Speaker 2: to BUCkies in bass Drop yep.
Speaker 4: Piled out of BUCkies, shopped and limo back home.
Speaker 3: So awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they had a big, big time. I mean
Speaker 2: they they loved it. They had a little karaoke machine
Speaker 2: that they brought with them into the limousine.
Speaker 1: Limo, so the whole most of the party was just
Speaker 1: cruising in a limo and playing music.
Speaker 2: And yeah, that so great. You could hear them singing
Speaker 2: from the car. We followed them at Landry was like,
Speaker 2: why aren't you guys going? And we're like what, So
Speaker 2: any we followed uh out there to BUCkies and so
Speaker 2: we got some video and stuff of them getting out
Speaker 2: of the limo at BUCkies, which was really funny. And
Speaker 2: then they had like forty five minutes in an hour
Speaker 2: inside of BUCkies and they shot OpEd and we gave
Speaker 2: each kid ten bucks to buy Landry a gag gift
Speaker 2: in BUCkies. And it's pretty funny some of the stuff
Speaker 2: you can get for ten bucks at buckets. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: we went in and I got I thought of you, actually, JB.
Speaker 2: You told us that you and Aaron loved those brisket sandwiches.
Speaker 3: And I was so stressed.
Speaker 2: Out because they've got the single decker one and they
Speaker 2: got the X X L size at BUCkies.
Speaker 4: And one was too small and one, Sandy's word, was
Speaker 4: too big. Yeah, I was freaking out that it wasn't
Speaker 4: stress I ended.
Speaker 3: Up getting the small one.
Speaker 2: But anyway, so we went out and sat in the
Speaker 2: car and ate our chop our slice beef sandwiches and
Speaker 2: and I got a bag of those I can't.
Speaker 3: Pretty good sandwiches. Great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the I can't help myself, but I love those
Speaker 2: pecan prailing pecans that they have there, so I got
Speaker 2: a bag of those and a doctor pepper.
Speaker 3: I mean, the wheels just came off my healthy eating
Speaker 3: just right. But boy, did we see a scene the parking.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4: We're sitting in the car eating, looking around, and you
Speaker 4: know that I have eight hundred gas pumps at the BUCkies.
Speaker 4: Out of nowhere, this little red, little sporty sedan came
Speaker 4: zipping through. I mean there's hundreds of people in cars
Speaker 4: walking around in this in this parking lot, zips right
Speaker 4: in front of us and and really quickly pulls in.
Speaker 4: This little guy gets out, puts his gas in, starts
Speaker 4: at pumping, and then walks very angrily. Yeah, he's this
Speaker 4: short little guy wearing shorts and socks pulled up to
Speaker 4: his knees, kind of sway backed and pot belly. But
Speaker 4: he was really young, like too young to have a
Speaker 4: sway back pot belly. It's very strange, like he's very
Speaker 4: He marches across two bays of gas pumps and confronts
Speaker 4: this older man and they kind of get into it,
Speaker 4: back and forth with each other. I think he was
Speaker 4: accusing the older man of stealing his gas pump. Meanwhile, again,
Speaker 4: there's eighth enough right right, But this was the kind
Speaker 4: of guy that you could just tell by his whole attitude.
Speaker 4: He wanted to make sure this man knew exactly what
Speaker 4: his opinion was of what he thought happened. I mean,
Speaker 4: I for sure Sandy got his phone out and started videoing. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I thought they were gonna.
Speaker 3: Go at it.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: My Bundy was on the old man too.
Speaker 5: I know, I was like, I don't know what happened here,
Speaker 5: but I side with the older man.
Speaker 3: The older man was just like, have a nice day.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So this little guy, annoying guy marches back to his car,
Speaker 4: labb into the guy in his car about what's going on,
Speaker 4: finishes pumping his gas, and I mean, we're right there,
Speaker 4: right in front of him, parked in a spot.
Speaker 5: We're behind him, I mean, we're behind it, but he's
Speaker 5: right in front of us.
Speaker 4: He backs out and zips across, almost hits the front
Speaker 4: of my car, crossing over like where normally cars would
Speaker 4: be parked. He's not driving in the like driving lane
Speaker 4: of a Bucky's. Again, there's so many people around and
Speaker 4: right when he crossed in front of in my car.
Speaker 4: I just laid on the horn, laid on the horn.
Speaker 4: He drove a little bit farther and then stopped, and
Speaker 4: for one split second, I was like, he's getting ready
Speaker 4: to back up and come over here. Now, let me
Speaker 4: let everybody know, people who don't know, Sandy is six
Speaker 4: foot one, giant, broad shouldered, bald headed guy. Normally, in
Speaker 4: situations that I think there might be some sort of interaction,
Speaker 4: I'm all, easy, big fella, I'm hoping people don't walk
Speaker 4: over to him. But in this case, because that guy
Speaker 4: was so annoying just watching him, I was like, please
Speaker 4: let him back up, Please let him come over here,
Speaker 4: and let me see the look on his face when
Speaker 4: Sandy unfolds himself out of my car after he.
Speaker 3: Had went over there.
Speaker 1: Let me add to Sandy's description picture arms like Popeye, yeah,
Speaker 1: and hands he's wearing catchers mits those are his hands.
Speaker 5: Bald guy.
Speaker 4: Oh that I would have given anything for that little
Speaker 4: annoying worp to come back over to the car, because
Speaker 4: normally I'm all holding Sandy bag. I'd have been like,
Speaker 4: go get him, go get a big fella.
Speaker 2: Something kind of similar happened that summer that I spent
Speaker 2: in South Dakota. I was with my buddy Marlin, and
Speaker 2: there was this guy in a in a little what
Speaker 2: a little tiny side by side, you know, and he
Speaker 2: was going really slow in a neighborhood and we passed
Speaker 2: him and then he and he was shooting the finger
Speaker 2: at us and doing all kinds of stuff. And then
Speaker 2: he pulls up right behind us where we parked at
Speaker 2: the golf course.
Speaker 3: And side by side is like an off road vehicle.
Speaker 2: Right right right, and they're street legal in that part
Speaker 2: of South Dakota, and so he's all bowing up and
Speaker 2: stuff and I'll never forget. We get out of the
Speaker 2: car and we start walking back to the to talk
Speaker 2: to this guy, and my friend Marlin says, well.
Speaker 3: Now, let you know what you're dealing with. You got
Speaker 3: something to say.
Speaker 5: That is amazing.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was like, that's pretty quick. Yeah.
Speaker 2: He was like, oh no, no, it's all good.
Speaker 3: It's all good, it's all good. Oh.
Speaker 5: I told Sandy that little torp in the parking lot.
Speaker 5: I was like, somebody is going to punch that guy
Speaker 5: in the face.
Speaker 2: That's a guy that's never been punched in the face, right,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, He's a guy that's never
Speaker 2: ever been just laid out flat, never.
Speaker 1: Gone through life being lippy and getting away with it exauly.
Speaker 5: I didn't just think that he was way more important.
Speaker 4: I mean, you would not believe how fast he was
Speaker 4: driving in the BUCkies parking lot, people walking around cars everywhere.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: There's probably more and more of that with adults now
Speaker 1: because it's so.
Speaker 3: Unacceptable to have schoolyard.
Speaker 1: Fights, yeah, which were the norm in the seventies, when
Speaker 1: you just sort it out on the playground or whatever
Speaker 1: at home out front.
Speaker 3: No, it's not acceptable.
Speaker 1: You'll end up in a lawsuit from another family if
Speaker 1: your kids start to fight.
Speaker 3: It's just so weird. That's I mean that that was
Speaker 3: a part of growing up, is learning.
Speaker 1: How to behave that way exactly because the consequences can sluck.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: One of my a friend of mine, his son got
Speaker 2: in a fight at school and got punched right in
Speaker 2: the nose.
Speaker 3: And he came home.
Speaker 2: His dad's a retired marine, and he goes, all right,
Speaker 2: he goes, so he got punched the nose. He goes,
Speaker 2: what'd you learn And he's like, uh, he goes that
Speaker 2: you can take a punch in the nose and not
Speaker 2: buy You're gonna be okay, it's gonna be all right,
Speaker 2: he covers, better learn to move a little quicker next time.
Speaker 3: So, but I think you're right. I mean, Jimmy, you
Speaker 3: have a great point that there's just a I don't know,
Speaker 3: there's something to be said as a young person for
Speaker 3: getting in a fight because it prevents you from getting
Speaker 3: in fights when you're older.
Speaker 4: Right, it teaches you, like red flag, don't mess with
Speaker 4: this person, or this is not my figure out how
Speaker 4: to sort something out?
Speaker 5: Like yeah, it just it's just like the nature.
Speaker 3: And don't you.
Speaker 2: Especially with road rage incidents. I mean, I'm kind of
Speaker 2: bet and here in Austin, Texas, Central Texas, I'm saying
Speaker 2: about ninety percent of the cars have guns in them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot, although I have one quite often.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, so do I and don't want to
Speaker 3: use it. No, not at all. But I mean there's
Speaker 3: a lot of people.
Speaker 2: That guy could have easily gotten really scared at the
Speaker 2: BUCkies the older gentleman and reached into his truck and.
Speaker 3: Shot that guy, right if he felt threatened. Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 5: He what I was impressed with.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he was an old man, he was
Speaker 4: an older man than this little twarp guy. But when
Speaker 4: he saw the guy marching over to him, that man
Speaker 4: stopped trumping his gas and stepped up, like started walking
Speaker 4: towards the twerp and stepped up to him and did
Speaker 4: not back down. And I think that startled him a
Speaker 4: little bit. Yeah, it kind of stopped him in his tracks.
Speaker 4: But man, he was flapping his gums.
Speaker 3: In loans moments. If you just take a second, shut up,
Speaker 3: take a breath, pause, and then let it go. Just
Speaker 3: move on, right, I can't go got hurt.
Speaker 4: You could have and again, eight hundred other park places
Speaker 4: to pump gas in that parking lot. It's not like
Speaker 4: he was waiting for the one that got stolen.
Speaker 3: On a side note, why didn't we think of BUCkies? Oh?
Speaker 3: Invented because they cost millions to build? Yeah that's true
Speaker 3: even if that was the idea. But they pay it
Speaker 3: off in a day.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was fifty three thousand square feet.
Speaker 1: Oh, I would love to how much money they generate
