Speaker 1 (00:38):
Hi. Everybody.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
In a way we go. I can't help but bring
this up right away because I was shocked to see it.
Did you guys know that yesterday? Do you remember the
fire festival from like seven eight years ago?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
That was just a big disaster.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I watched both of those documentaries. I did, too, mess.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I watched one. I didn't know there were two.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
There was there was one independent documentary and then there's
another one that they made trying to clean up their
name a little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
They were both a disaster disaster.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
So for those of you may or may not have
heard of it, in a nutshell, what this was was
a was billed as a very exclusive, high roller type
of festival on an island with incredible accommodations and great
food and these top these big stars that were going
to play it, and the tickets were really expensive and
(01:30):
it never happened people down there.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
It was supposed to be like a who's who of
social influence, like a.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Super fancy Coachella, like over the top five star.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
And they got there and it was there was no water,
and there were tents and just mattresses and it was
it was like going to a third world country. I mean,
FEMA could have done a better job of setting up like.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
It was like sandwiches with two pieces of bread and
a piece of cheese in the middle.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Its styrofoam like.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
It was horrible, and people paid a lot of money
for their tickets.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Well, the guy that put it on, what the heck's
his name, Billy McFarlane, right, yeah, so he went to
prison for four years for fraud on a different fraud
thing though I think the thing he actually went to
jail for was like a ticket fraud of some kind.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Anyway, this Yahoo is doing it again.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
He's trying to sell to sell.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Another fire festival.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Like did he learn nothing while in prison? Like he
didn't even change the name of it.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Come on, they're selling tickets. The highest end ticket is
one point two million.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Ah.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Oh, who is stupid enough to.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Go to this?
Speaker 6 (02:48):
Yeah, they have a date in a location. They're selling tickets,
but still no lineup, those acts have been announced, and
he's gonna.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
And he said he's trying to prove that he wants
to do the world's greatest festival without any performers, right,
I mean music, music performers. Yeah, and it's on Islam,
MoU Harris. I've been to Islam, MoU Harris. It's a
little tiny island off of I think can Kun And
I've been there and there aren't I don't think there
(03:18):
are any five star hotels there unless they're just going
to do it on the beach or that. My point being,
this guy's credibility is pretty shocked, right, Yeah, and he's
going to try to do it again.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
The fools who buy tickets from him, they deserve whatever
they end up getting. That's unbelievable that anybody would would
buy a ticket from him.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Okay, I just can't get my brain around that you
would spend all this time in prison and come out
and do exactly the same thing.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Like that's the most mind boggling.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Like most don't you usually either become buff or a professor,
you know, right?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, I mean I don't. This is a festival.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
We don't really need, right, And boy, if I knew
someone that told me they were going, I would go,
you're an idiot.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
He said that when he was in prison, he was
spent time in solitary confinement, and that's when he dreamed
up his new venture.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It's the same venture. It's not new, it's got the
same name. I really I find it amazing.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Odds of it actually happening, I would say, are pretty nil.
I like it actually having the festival and it going off.
I don't think it's going to happen.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
Well, he posted something on Twitter at the first Fire
Festival to drop has sold out.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
I don't believe him.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
I mean he I'm assuming he has no money from
right person, having no income and probably tons of lawsuits,
who's financially backing it. They're dumber than the right.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
You're right, you're right. Well, it'll be interesting to see like.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
He's not gonna be able to build it on credit,
you know what I mean? Right, Like, oh, you'll get
paid after the show. No, no vender would support that, right,
mister McFarland. I've read up on you. I don't think
I can extend you any credit today. Maybe tomorrow, but
not today. Mister McFarland, go have your little, your little
festival and see what happened.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
I guess what was was a pet barnum that said
there's a sucker born every minute. Right, So maybe there's
a whole new generation of douchebags that want to go
to this thing inspiration of douchebag. But doesn't it doesn't
this festival scream douchebag.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I'm douchebag? Why between twenty five and forty three right now?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I don't know. That's a funny question.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Think about TVA Tricia, Does douchebag guy breed douchebag baby?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yes, douchebag is generational. Is generational?
Speaker 6 (05:49):
It is because you grow up in douchebag land and
you don't know any difference, right, I mean, if you're
surrounded by it, that's what your standard is.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Can you think of anyone you know that's a kind
of a douchebag? Yeah? Are there kids? Yeah? Yeah, we can't.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah right.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
In fact, we're not going to name names. I mean,
I hate to.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Be mean to children, but you can spot a five
year old douchebag. Oh yeah you can.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Kids are not off limits for being douchebags, and we're
not off limits from acknowledging it.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Come on, yeah, little kids a douchebag.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I think that is going to go to a playground
and just mutter that.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Hey, stay with us.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Coming up on the show today, we have got a
lot to talk about, including things in guys homes that
give women the ick. That Also, there's a concert coming
to Austin that as much as I would like to
go to the show, I would never go because I'm
terrified of the crowd that goes to this show.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
And Tricia has the story we love. Coming up next,
what do you have?
Speaker 6 (06:57):
We got to talk about what's going on with the
Texas Lotter right now?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
JB.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I know you're a Loto guy. I think our lotto
business is about to take a big hit. Just heads up,
text us anytime. We'd love to hear from you. Seven three,
seven three zero one ninety six one hundred. It's the
JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty station one O
three point one.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
All you lotto players, you better listen up because things
are your lotto playing is going to hit.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Take a turn on the way that you get your ticket.
Is that right, Trish?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yep?
Speaker 6 (07:29):
The Texas Lottery Commission is trying to ban couriers jackpot
lottery couriers like Jackpocket.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You've heard JB and I talk about it. I love Jackpocket.
I know I got turned onto it too.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
We'll get into it in just a second. And the
story we love. By the way, just a quick reminder.
Longhorn basketball tomorrow night, eight o'clock against Arkansas. You can
listen to the game here on one O three point one,
Austin's eighty station. Longhorns back at home Saturday at the
Moody Center. They played Georgia. It's been a tough season
for the Longhorn men's basketball team. I don't know if
(08:04):
you knew that, but they've lost like three of their
last five or four of their last six or something
like that.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Man, it's tough run. That first season with the new arena.
They came out hot, remember yeah they did. It was
so optimistic about right. Well, still get out and sports
the Longhorns. They're back home on Saturday at the movie cents.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
This story is we law.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
So the Texas Lottery Commission announced on Monday that it's
moving to ban lottery courier services in the state.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
That's jack Pocket for us. JB.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I love that app.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I know.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I buy my Texas Loto Quick Picks there. I know
a couple times a week. Right, I don't do it
quite that often, but I like it.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
When I'm in a pinch and I can't get into
the store to connect my lotto business, I just get
me some on the app. But it's an app that
instead of, like we said, you buy it online and
they then take a photo of the ticket that you've
purchased and they send it to you, so you have
the electronic version of your ticket.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
If you win, you then turned that in.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Well, the reason this is all coming up is because
a couple of weeks ago they started investigating a huge
jackpot win where it was an eighty five million dollar
jackpot that they found out a group of investors, a
group of guys put in twenty five million dollars and
bought every almost every single possible ticket you could number combination,
(09:30):
and they won the eighty five million dollar jackpot. Can't
do that, They're saying that that's not what the spirit
of the lottery was based on.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
They're also because you could do that electronically. You should
know how many people would have to go out to
buy twenty fowls and tickets exactly.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
You could do it electronically, they said, it can. They're
worried about fraud. They're worried about.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
People underage getting on the.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
App and buying lottery tickets, which there's really I don't
remember them except asking are you over eighteen? You say yes,
you know, but yeah they Since then, the lottery commissioner
has retired and Dan Patrick said, if we do not
get rid of the lottery couriers, then I will get
rid of Texas Lottery period.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
He's like, hard, no on the courier.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
I know. I just I can't bring myself to stand
there in line and ask for ticketing.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Why are you embarrassed? Are you going to be embarrassed
when you hit it big.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah, it's it's I just it feels like I'm just
down on my luck.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
It looks like you are. It does. That's what it
did when I'm with you, JB. Look, I'm an anti
lotto guy.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I would still believe in what Anne Richards said back
in the day when the lotto got passed, and she said,
I always said there ought to be attacks on stupid people.
Now there is, and I agree, and I agree with
the former governor of the Great State of Texas. There's
a lot of people out there holding everybody up in line,
taking forever doing your lotto business.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It's sad.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
And then then you got your people with your little
plastic envelopes, the little things that lanyards are organizer, Yeah, organizer.
Then they got to put it, and they got to
put it in there before they walk away from the
move on.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Yeah, don't act like you haven't stuck your head in
and been like, hey heard the lottery was like five
hundred million and we got tickets.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yet you've done that. Don't make you discount it.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
It's kind of like anything that you have to have
help from the attendant at the convenience.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Store is just bad.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Like lotto cigarettes, tacked tomacco, yeah, giant beer cans that
you put in paper bags.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Yeah, you know, the medicines because you're a mess, the
Swisher sweets, the little cigars that people are making blunts
out of it.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It's really just a row of Loserville.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Not going to feel like the loser when you hit
the jack putt.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Get some zigzags. They got to put those behind.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
How about thinkiving its stores that I swear to I
swear they buy anything that's like been closed out like
they have on this right in front of you. They've
got a whole thing of lighters that look like skulls.
Right next to it, They've got a bunch of knives,
pocket knives, yeah, and then a corn cob pipe right here.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
It's just like, how about this the a tenant has
to come around to the front and go over to
the locked counter to get you some kraton.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Like that is sad?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Yeah, that's you guys, all the stuff behind it. You
notice they never put any orange juice behind the counter.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Nobody's drinking eating.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Good for you behind the counter. We now to me,
every time I'm there.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
You're just gonna be scanning the whole road. See if
there's anything positive going on back there. It's all loser,
a little new testament for sale back there.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
No take one of these rotisserie hot dogs while you're
at it.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
That's been there for a week.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Yes, even the living breathing food is terrible for you.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
They living breathing food pizza.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Come on, Yeah, don't act like those burritos that you
can throw in the microwave there.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Those are good sometimes if you're really hungry.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Come on, you're cooking at a convenience store. Come on,
that's all I even know about you.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Right, I'll take this burrito and my lotto tickets, now,
I get it.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
The only ones that should be in the convenience stores
are the construction workers. I get that. Yeah, they they
got a little window of time. They go sit on
their tail tailgate and eat something. You have permission, the
rest of us not.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
You're judging everybody else.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
I go in there and I proudly conduct my lotto
business at the counter.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
You do tell me about tell JB about the time
you had to shush the woman behind you.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
I went in and particularly busy time, and I kept
kind of waiting to the side, waiting for the line
to get shorter. It got pretty short. Then as soon
as I got up to the counter, there were like
seven people magically behind me. And when I was because
I got asked to buy a lotto tickets for three
different people. I was doing them in three different purchases,
and I heard a sassy woman behind me go are
(14:21):
you serious? Ooh it hit me wrong, and I turned
around and to go, yep, I'm serious. So you can
just wait your turn unless you got a problem with that.
You can ask this lady to do your job faster.
And her eyes got big, and that lady who is
helping me, she goes, honey, you're just fine. What do
you need now? The lady who is helping me shut
that lady down.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
To that, I was like, I got a business idea, Yeah,
I got a business idea. It's like picture like a
small you know, like burger stop size place.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, drive through. That's just embarrassing purchases.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Like you throw your lotto and all the other things
we talked about. Your cigarettes, your dip, you're all that,
but then you carry pepto bismol kind of athletes foot spray.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
What's when women get a yeast infection? What do you
put on it. Yeah, some of the East infection stuff.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Preparation, h just anything embarrassing. That's what this drive through
is for.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Meta musil's just blacked out window or just the hand
comes through and gives it in a bag, round bag,
and they hand it to you and you just drive
off with all your gross items that you have to have. Yeah,
ear wax clip fixer, things like that, nose hair trimmer,
(15:46):
all those.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Things, all necessary items, all items that human beings have
to have.

Think about TVA Tricia, Does douchebag guy breed douchebag baby?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yes, douchebag is generational. Is generational?
Speaker 6 (05:49):
It is because you grow up in douchebag land and
you don't know any difference, right, I mean, if you're
surrounded by it, that's what your standard is.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Can you think of anyone you know that's a kind
of a douchebag? Yeah? Are there kids? Yeah? Yeah, we can't.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah right.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
In fact, we're not going to name names. I mean,
I hate to.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Be mean to children, but you can spot a five
year old douchebag. Oh yeah you can.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Kids are not off limits for being douchebags, and we're
not off limits from acknowledging it.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Come on, yeah, little kids a douchebag.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I think that is going to go to a playground
and just mutter that.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Hey, stay with us.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
Coming up on the show today, we have got a
lot to talk about, including things in guys homes that
give women the ick. That Also, there's a concert coming
to Austin that as much as I would like to
go to the show, I would never go because I'm
terrified of the crowd that goes to this show.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
And Tricia has the story we love. Coming up next,
what do you have?
Speaker 6 (06:57):
We got to talk about what's going on with the
Texas Lotter right now?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
JB.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
I know you're a Loto guy. I think our lotto
business is about to take a big hit. Just heads up,
text us anytime. We'd love to hear from you. Seven three,
seven three zero one ninety six one hundred. It's the
JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty station one O
three point one.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
All you lotto players, you better listen up because things
are your lotto playing is going to hit.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Take a turn on the way that you get your ticket.
Is that right, Trish?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yep?
Speaker 6 (07:29):
The Texas Lottery Commission is trying to ban couriers jackpot
lottery couriers like Jackpocket.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You've heard JB and I talk about it. I love Jackpocket.
I know I got turned onto it too.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
We'll get into it in just a second. And the
story we love. By the way, just a quick reminder.
Longhorn basketball tomorrow night, eight o'clock against Arkansas. You can
listen to the game here on one O three point one,
Austin's eighty station. Longhorns back at home Saturday at the
Moody Center. They played Georgia. It's been a tough season
for the Longhorn men's basketball team. I don't know if
(08:04):
you knew that, but they've lost like three of their
last five or four of their last six or something
like that.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Man, it's tough run. That first season with the new arena.
They came out hot, remember yeah they did. It was
so optimistic about right. Well, still get out and sports
the Longhorns. They're back home on Saturday at the movie cents.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
This story is we law.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
So the Texas Lottery Commission announced on Monday that it's
moving to ban lottery courier services in the state.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
That's jack Pocket for us. JB.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
No.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I love that app.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I know.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I buy my Texas Loto Quick Picks there. I know
a couple times a week. Right, I don't do it
quite that often, but I like it.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
When I'm in a pinch and I can't get into
the store to connect my lotto business, I just get
me some on the app. But it's an app that
instead of, like we said, you buy it online and
they then take a photo of the ticket that you've
purchased and they send it to you, so you have
the electronic version of your ticket.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
If you win, you then turned that in.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Well, the reason this is all coming up is because
a couple of weeks ago they started investigating a huge
jackpot win where it was an eighty five million dollar
jackpot that they found out a group of investors, a
group of guys put in twenty five million dollars and
bought every almost every single possible ticket you could number combination,
(09:30):
and they won the eighty five million dollar jackpot. Can't
do that, They're saying that that's not what the spirit
of the lottery was based on.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
They're also because you could do that electronically. You should
know how many people would have to go out to
buy twenty fowls and tickets exactly.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
You could do it electronically, they said, it can. They're
worried about fraud. They're worried about.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
People underage getting on the.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
App and buying lottery tickets, which there's really I don't
remember them except asking are you over eighteen? You say yes,
you know, but yeah they Since then, the lottery commissioner
has retired and Dan Patrick said, if we do not
get rid of the lottery couriers, then I will get
rid of Texas Lottery period.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
He's like, hard, no on the courier.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
I know. I just I can't bring myself to stand
there in line and ask for ticketing.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Why are you embarrassed? Are you going to be embarrassed
when you hit it big.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah, it's it's I just it feels like I'm just
down on my luck.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
It looks like you are. It does. That's what it
did when I'm with you, JB. Look, I'm an anti
lotto guy.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
I would still believe in what Anne Richards said back
in the day when the lotto got passed, and she said,
I always said there ought to be attacks on stupid people.
Now there is, and I agree, and I agree with
the former governor of the Great State of Texas. There's
a lot of people out there holding everybody up in line,
taking forever doing your lotto business.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It's sad.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
And then then you got your people with your little
plastic envelopes, the little things that lanyards are organizer, Yeah, organizer.
Then they got to put it, and they got to
put it in there before they walk away from the
move on.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
Yeah, don't act like you haven't stuck your head in
and been like, hey heard the lottery was like five
hundred million and we got tickets.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yet you've done that. Don't make you discount it.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
It's kind of like anything that you have to have
help from the attendant at the convenience.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Store is just bad.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Like lotto cigarettes, tacked tomacco, yeah, giant beer cans that
you put in paper bags.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Yeah, you know, the medicines because you're a mess, the
Swisher sweets, the little cigars that people are making blunts
out of it.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It's really just a row of Loserville.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Not going to feel like the loser when you hit
the jack putt.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Get some zigzags. They got to put those behind.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
How about thinkiving its stores that I swear to I
swear they buy anything that's like been closed out like
they have on this right in front of you. They've
got a whole thing of lighters that look like skulls.
Right next to it, They've got a bunch of knives,
pocket knives, yeah, and then a corn cob pipe right here.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
It's just like, how about this the a tenant has
to come around to the front and go over to
the locked counter to get you some kraton.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Like that is sad?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Yeah, that's you guys, all the stuff behind it. You
notice they never put any orange juice behind the counter.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Nobody's drinking eating.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Good for you behind the counter. We now to me,
every time I'm there.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
You're just gonna be scanning the whole road. See if
there's anything positive going on back there. It's all loser,
a little new testament for sale back there.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
No take one of these rotisserie hot dogs while you're
at it.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
That's been there for a week.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Yes, even the living breathing food is terrible for you.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
They living breathing food pizza.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
Come on, Yeah, don't act like those burritos that you
can throw in the microwave there.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Those are good sometimes if you're really hungry.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Come on, you're cooking at a convenience store. Come on,
that's all I even know about you.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
Right, I'll take this burrito and my lotto tickets, now,
I get it.
Speaker 5 (13:36):
The only ones that should be in the convenience stores
are the construction workers. I get that. Yeah, they they
got a little window of time. They go sit on
their tail tailgate and eat something. You have permission, the
rest of us not.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
You're judging everybody else.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
I go in there and I proudly conduct my lotto
business at the counter.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
You do tell me about tell JB about the time
you had to shush the woman behind you.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
I went in and particularly busy time, and I kept
kind of waiting to the side, waiting for the line
to get shorter. It got pretty short. Then as soon
as I got up to the counter, there were like
seven people magically behind me. And when I was because
I got asked to buy a lotto tickets for three
different people. I was doing them in three different purchases,
and I heard a sassy woman behind me go are
(14:21):
you serious? Ooh it hit me wrong, and I turned
around and to go, yep, I'm serious. So you can
just wait your turn unless you got a problem with that.
You can ask this lady to do your job faster.
And her eyes got big, and that lady who is
helping me, she goes, honey, you're just fine. What do
you need now? The lady who is helping me shut
that lady down.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
To that, I was like, I got a business idea, Yeah,
I got a business idea. It's like picture like a
small you know, like burger stop size place.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, drive through. That's just embarrassing purchases.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Like you throw your lotto and all the other things
we talked about. Your cigarettes, your dip, you're all that,
but then you carry pepto bismol kind of athletes foot spray.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
What's when women get a yeast infection? What do you
put on it. Yeah, some of the East infection stuff.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Preparation, h just anything embarrassing. That's what this drive through
is for.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Meta musil's just blacked out window or just the hand
comes through and gives it in a bag, round bag,
and they hand it to you and you just drive
off with all your gross items that you have to have. Yeah,
ear wax clip fixer, things like that, nose hair trimmer,

to have.
