Speaker 1: This is the JB and Sandy Show podcast. You can
Speaker 1: listen live every morning on one of three point one
Speaker 1: in Austin, or stream the show on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: A lot of people doing their practice crackers tonight.
Speaker 3: They're practicing with their fireworks lighting them off, which is
Speaker 3: some crackers incredibly annoying. But I stopped a fireworks stand
Speaker 3: in Lakeway the other day and I saw something, JB.
Speaker 3: You know how we've always kind of laughed about lotto
Speaker 3: tickets have funny names.
Speaker 2: M I think firecrackers have taken the same play. Oh
Speaker 2: it's entertaining.
Speaker 4: Yeah, going to the fireworks stand, it's very entertaining.
Speaker 3: I mean there's some funny ones. I trotted a few
Speaker 3: of them down. I think there was one called the
Speaker 3: Whistling bunk Holes.
Speaker 4: Not to be confused with the Freedom fart, the freedom part.
Speaker 3: There was another one I can read my handwritt the
Speaker 3: Hunky Lighters.
Speaker 2: That was too I thought lighters.
Speaker 5: Monkey lighters. What about the botta being batta.
Speaker 6: Boom, the bottle being gotta boo. That's a big one,
Speaker 6: right classic. I think it's a big one called America's
Speaker 6: middle finger. Oh that's red light boomed my pants.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for not few small children.
Speaker 2: But I thought it was funny.
Speaker 3: I don't know why they would name a fire cracker this,
Speaker 3: but it was the reptile dysfunction.
Speaker 2: Uncle Sam's hangover. Let's see. I jotted a few more
Speaker 2: down here.
Speaker 6: The ones that were shooting off last night and the
Speaker 6: night before, I believe, were called the neighbor haters.
Speaker 2: Neighbor haters.
Speaker 5: What it made me do?
Speaker 4: I did see one called hold my beer, which is
Speaker 4: perfect because that's how a lot of this starts.
Speaker 2: To tell everybody about Terry. What do you mean Terry
Speaker 2: in the wheelchair?
Speaker 5: Oh, my gosh, have you seen the video of Terry.
Speaker 6: Terry is in a wheelchair and he's reaching down to
Speaker 6: to light a firework, and there's somebody next to him
Speaker 6: helping him light the firework. And as soon as it
Speaker 6: gets lit and starts sparking, Terry's wheelchair won't wear.
Speaker 5: Oh I see Terry.
Speaker 6: Reverse Terry and it's going off all around him. And
Speaker 6: then today I saw a post that said, man, I
Speaker 6: hope Terry's wheelchair is charged this year.
Speaker 2: I've seen that one, can't.
Speaker 3: I think the one they were lighting off was the
Speaker 3: tickle Twirler.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
Speaker 4: I think's worst nightmare. Have you ever seen that one?
Speaker 5: What about the Wizard of Oy.
Speaker 3: The Whimsical Whiz That was another funny one too. So
Speaker 3: enjoy your fireworks. I was not allowed fireworks as a
Speaker 3: small child. I had to sneak around to do it.
Speaker 3: My mom, you weren't. Oh, it was a big production.
Speaker 4: I remember as a kid, like, you know, everybody, you'd
Speaker 4: fire them off in the street, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
Speaker 4: You just go out and everybody in the neighborhood would
Speaker 4: buy the big packs, you know, and everybody would just
Speaker 4: kind of do it together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and now still.
Speaker 4: Like like when my family gets together in Kansas, we're
Speaker 4: out at like my aunt's farm, and we go crazy
Speaker 4: out there. Like I told you, when in Kansas, my
Speaker 4: cousin takes me to go buy some we go to
Speaker 4: someone's house, the garage, and it was all fireworks.
Speaker 2: It's like they don't mess around with it up there.
Speaker 6: Did you ever have out on the farm the rum
Speaker 6: and candle fights like my family did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, not so much on the farm, but as
Speaker 4: kids on the street. Yeah, you're holding it and pointing
Speaker 4: him each other, and then you know, we called them
Speaker 4: pop bottle rockets, right, because we would hold those in
Speaker 4: point them at each other.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she would get on either side of the tank.
Speaker 6: We'd have teams and have a Roman candle war trying
Speaker 6: to hit the other one with the firework.
Speaker 3: I was not allowed to participate in the fireworks as
Speaker 3: a kid because my.
Speaker 2: Mother claims claims.
Speaker 3: That her grandfather blew off three fingers with a firecracker,
Speaker 3: and I was.
Speaker 5: Like, she regulated to just sparklers, which is.
Speaker 3: And then of course my dad, who's tighter, and two
Speaker 3: coats of paint. I mean, if it took a nickel
Speaker 3: to poop, he would vomit is that cheap.
Speaker 2: He would say, you want to see.
Speaker 3: How we made fireworks when I was a kid, And
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh boy, this ought to be good.
Speaker 2: He goes, come here, come here, came here. We got
Speaker 2: to the garage.
Speaker 3: He goes out in the garage, he gets this big
Speaker 3: old pile of steel wool. Right then then he takes
Speaker 3: a string and he ties it around the steel wool
Speaker 3: into a knot, so it's got about three three feet
Speaker 3: of string steel wool at the end of it. Then
Speaker 3: reaches into his pocket, pulls out his Zippo lighter, lights
Speaker 3: the steel wool on fire and then waves his hand
Speaker 3: up and down.
Speaker 2: Like this, up and down, up and down. That was
Speaker 2: his firework.
Speaker 3: I go, that is a New York City ghetto firework
Speaker 3: if I had ever seen one in my life. Embarrassing.
Speaker 3: He was like, you just make a bunch of those
Speaker 3: and go hang on. They got lady fingers out there.
Speaker 3: They got bottle rockets in Roman. I'm not showing up
Speaker 3: with the steel wool on the string.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The two lamest ones, that's pretty lame. But the two
Speaker 4: lamest ones I recall are the the little things that
Speaker 4: are like the charcoal snakes.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and they stay on the sidewalk. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And then there was you know the tank, the little
Speaker 4: cardboard tank that was supposed to self prepare.
Speaker 5: They never moved, never wearp Yeah.
Speaker 2: Trisha loved the chicken that laid the egg though.
Speaker 5: It was a.
Speaker 6: Little card word shaped chicken and it would shoot flames
Speaker 6: out of his biscuit hole. Was like, nothing says America
Speaker 6: like a chicken firework.
Speaker 5: It's so random.
Speaker 3: I haven't looked, and I guess I should have thought
Speaker 3: of it. But are they doing the big fireworks display
Speaker 3: at Auditorium Shores or what's the name of Auditorium Shores now.
Speaker 2: Vic Mantea Vic Manteas. You can still say I'm sure.
Speaker 3: I'm sure they're doing it unless someone found a reason
Speaker 3: to protest against fireworks on the fourth of July.
Speaker 2: Who knows?
Speaker 3: Uh Again, TikTok is at JB Sandy ATX Boy, we'd
Speaker 3: love to hit forty followers by the end of the time.
Speaker 3: Forty would be fun. Up next, Tricia's story We Love.
Speaker 3: What are you going to report the news on?
Speaker 2: What do you have?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 6: We have to talk about a new thing that the
Speaker 6: Leander Police Department has installed at their location for lost pets.
Speaker 6: And I think it's amazing and I want to go
Speaker 6: park and just sit and watch people do this because
Speaker 6: I think it would be hilarious.
Speaker 2: All right, stay with us.
Speaker 3: The story we Love coming up on Austin's eighties station
Speaker 3: one o three point.
Speaker 2: It's the Jab and Sandy Show.
Speaker 3: And for those of you listening to us on the
Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app, make sure you tap that follow button and
Speaker 3: allow your notifications. It's Austin's eighty station one oh three
Speaker 3: point one. Tressa's got the story we Love for us
Speaker 3: In just a second. She says, the Leander Police Department's
Speaker 3: got something cool for the lost pet.
Speaker 2: She'll tell about it, tell us about it. In just
Speaker 2: a second.
Speaker 3: Fun fact for everybody, the month of June was the
Speaker 3: first time in six years that Austin, Texas did not
Speaker 3: hit one hundred degrees.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 4: I'm going to point that out to my dad when
Speaker 4: he complains about the weather.
Speaker 5: Cold summer he.
Speaker 3: Spent all those years in Chicago. Those are great summers
Speaker 3: up there. If you don't get shot right, it is bad,
Speaker 3: But those summers up there are really really nice. In fact,
Speaker 3: next week, my sister and my mom are going up
Speaker 3: to Upper Michigan to a place. Oh how nice you've
Speaker 3: been there, Trisha Mackinaw Island.
Speaker 5: Oh, Mackinaw Island. I went there with your mom, ain't
Speaker 5: your sister. It's amazing.
Speaker 6: They don't allow any engine propelled anything on the island.
Speaker 6: You get around by bicycle, walking and horseback only. Oh cool,
Speaker 6: it's so cool and beautiful.
Speaker 3: Aren't even like the ups and FedEx trucks. Don't they
Speaker 3: red bicycles and pull wagons behind them or something.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there are no engine propelled anything. Lawnmowers nothing allowed
Speaker 6: on that island.
Speaker 2: And it's the Land of Fudge.
Speaker 6: The Land of Fudge. Yep, oh, it was so nice, beautiful.
Speaker 6: That water is freaking cold. Our daughter jumped in. We
Speaker 6: went kayaking, dump jumped in and it's like somebody shot
Speaker 6: her out of the water and she landed back in
Speaker 6: the kayak a cartoon, like a cartoon, it's so cold.
Speaker 2: The stories we La has Portando left three. That's quite
Speaker 2: an intro.
Speaker 5: I know it is mister Felix for that.
Speaker 6: So the Leander Police Department has found an easier way
Speaker 6: for people who find lost pets to scan the pets
Speaker 6: and find their owners. They have installed a pet scanner
Speaker 6: right outside of their police department building. So if you
Speaker 6: find a lost animal, you can drive to the police department,
Speaker 6: get out and wave the animal under the scanner and
Speaker 6: if it's somebody's pet, if it's if it's chipped, their
Speaker 6: information will pop up on a screen and you can
Speaker 6: call them to get their animal back to them sooner,
Speaker 6: rather than waiting for like a vet's office to open
Speaker 6: the next day or something like that.
Speaker 4: It's like that, that's very cool because what we do
Speaker 4: before go to the vet, right, yeah, I think it'll
Speaker 4: wait and take it to that They don't they're not
Speaker 4: really in that business of finding owners.
Speaker 3: Right, So is it like an HTB when you check
Speaker 3: yourself out, you scan your own groceries, you scan the dog,
Speaker 3: And it's just that's.
Speaker 5: What I meant imagining you.
Speaker 6: I have no idea what it looks like, but I
Speaker 6: feel like it's a little one of those little red
Speaker 6: scanner things, and I feel like people are just look
Speaker 6: from left to right, you know, when you can't find
Speaker 6: the barcode right and you have to move it all
Speaker 6: around when you're doing a self checkout.
Speaker 2: Just gave me an idea.
Speaker 3: When we're not in the market for a dog right now,
Speaker 3: but eventually we will because our dog died a few
Speaker 3: years ago. Well, you know what we should do is
Speaker 3: just go sit out there and when we see one
Speaker 3: we like before they get to the scanner just wrong.
Speaker 2: And go hey, by pew.
Speaker 6: I I imagine just a line of people, like at
Speaker 6: the checkout at the grocery store, holding a random animal
Speaker 6: and when they get up there beep getting the information.
Speaker 5: I don't know why.
Speaker 6: I just think this is a brilliant device and they
Speaker 6: are going to be installing more of them throughout the
Speaker 6: city in Leander, and I just think it's such a
Speaker 6: good idea, also entertaining.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it doesn't tie up the police to you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. They can just scan it yourself
Speaker 3: and then contact the owner. My gosh, what else can
Speaker 3: you turn in at the police department and firehouse?
Speaker 2: You can turn in a kid, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Anything off with these guys, right, debait?
Speaker 2: What do they call it? The Moses box? Moses Moses?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you can just I think you just put
Speaker 3: the baby into the little like you know when you
Speaker 3: go and do a urine test at the doctor and
Speaker 3: you put the little cup in there and you spin
Speaker 3: it around.
Speaker 2: I think it's the same thing with the baby. Just
Speaker 2: put the baby.
Speaker 3: Yeah, weird, that'd be weird if you're just some firefighters
Speaker 3: sitting there eating, you know, King Ram's Castro'll wait for
Speaker 3: the fire to go off and all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: Holy crap, there's a baby in the.
Speaker 5: Door, and now we have a baby.
Speaker 2: Yeah, very strange.
Speaker 3: That's something that Leander's doing that'll probably get copied all
Speaker 3: over the place.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a slick I got it's been forever, thank goodness.
Speaker 4: But I dated a girl who's like probably five times
Speaker 4: a year would bring home a random straight Yeah.
Speaker 2: Really, then you're on the hook to find a home
Speaker 2: for it and all this. Could you ever foster? No,
Speaker 2: but I would do it.
Speaker 4: I would consider it because, uh, you know that we
Speaker 4: got that newer dog, Clyde, the little terrier mix, and
Speaker 4: he came from a rescue where they don't have a
Speaker 4: brick and mortar. They just they'll go down to South
Speaker 4: Texas and Mexico and bring back like a dozen dogs
Speaker 4: at a time, and they just have a foster network
Speaker 4: around Austin and then they just use social media to
Speaker 4: put the word out of what they have. That's how
Speaker 4: we found Clyde.
Speaker 6: So would you be a foster fail, Like, would you
Speaker 6: be able to have the dog in foster and give
Speaker 6: it away? Yeah, that's the problem with me.
Speaker 2: I think I would get too attached.
Speaker 5: That giant chocolate lab that showed up in our yard
Speaker 5: and you wanted to keep him.
Speaker 6: He had a collar with a name and fun number
Speaker 6: on him and everything, and Sander's like, just take the
Speaker 6: collar off, let's get I.
Speaker 5: Was like, dude, you can't do that.
Speaker 2: I forget. You could try it. If they're so loyal
Speaker 2: to their old home, they'll they'll run and go back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was good licking.
Speaker 2: He was a good licking You remember his name.
Speaker 5: I don't remember his name, but I remember.
Speaker 6: We couldn't keep him because he had the biggest biscuit
Speaker 6: hole on a dog. I've ever seen him by life.
Speaker 6: It was all you could see. I was like, there's
Speaker 6: no way we can have this dog.
Speaker 2: Tricia could not get over the size of his butt.
Speaker 6: He was just enormous. I just I was like, we
Speaker 6: can't do that.
Speaker 3: And Trisa's weird about stuff like that, Like we have
Speaker 3: a dog, he's a weier dog that walks in our neighborhood.
Speaker 2: And all Tricia will talk about is the size of his.
Speaker 5: Junk, Like, why is it so big? He's this little
Speaker 5: wiener dog.
Speaker 6: If he's this long, I'm holding my hands up his
Speaker 6: wiener is.
Speaker 5: That like like that? Like it's disproportionate and it's all
Speaker 5: you can see.
Speaker 6: You can't pick him up right, No no way to safely.
Speaker 5: Pick him up.
