Email : Paige$%%^^
Comments : I enjoy watching you guys on tv -- I'm not into listening on the radio that much (perhaps I'm more of a visual person, who knows. whatever.) But I've enjoyed watching and listening to you guys talk this morning . You're actually intelligent and good at playing your parts (good cop, bad cop, honest cop, average Joe dumb cop) -- and here all along I always heard "JB and Sandy" and thought you were the typical radio douchebags. I mean that in the nicest way possible Totally a compliment. Enjoy the show. "Way to go."
Thanks.

An unreleased Pearl Jam song has surfaced
A previously unreleased PEARL JAM song, called "Better Days", has popped up online. No one is sure when the track was recorded. Apparently, it was accidentally posted on the band's official website. It has since been taken down.

Love this story... my wife swears we met in college yrs before we dated
--Alex and Donna Voutsinas are newlyweds in Boynton Beach, Florida. A few days before their wedding, they were going through their old family photos, and found one of Donna's family trip to Walt Disney World when she was just a little girl.
--Alex looked at the background of the photo and spotted something incredible: A guy who looked like his FATHER.
--They looked closer and realized it WAS Alex's father . . . and he was pushing a stroller with a baby ALEX in it. In other words, Alex was randomly in the background of his future wife's Disney World vacation photo.
--It's even more of an incredible coincidence since Alex's family lived in Montreal, Canada, at the time, and happened to be taking a rare trip to Disney World. Once Alex was an adult he moved to Florida and met Donna at work.
--Donna says, quote, "I was glad he proposed before [we found] the picture, because I know that it was because he loves me and not because he thought it was meant to be, it was fate."

You are very welcome
JB,
I am a long time listener vicariously through the website. The good Army has taken me away from the great state of Texas but I check in everyday to see what’s going on. Anyways, I know you are busy and won’t ramble. I saw your video of the soldiers returning and surprising your families. No, didn’t make it through without crying. My husband gets home Saturday from his 4th deployment to Iraq. I know it won’t be the last but it never gets any easier. Thanks for showing your support for the men and women who fight for this country.

Nice email
Question: Comment:
Answer: I just wanted to say I have been listing to your show for about 3 years now since I moved to Austin. It is by far the best radio show I have ever listened to. When I first moved here I had a job where i had to be on the road by 6am to get to work on time. Your show is what woke me up in the mornings. Since April I have a new job where I dont have to be at work until 10 so don't think I am crazy when I tell you what I'm about to say. I get up every morning and get dressed and hit the road no later than about 8 every morning just so I can listen to your show as long as I can. I sit in the parking lot at work almost 2 hours early just to listen. It doesn't ALWAYS work out like that but the majority of the time it does. I can't get enough of how yall work together. It's almost like a crazy family which I love. Sandy always talks about not having very many listeners and I'm telling you they don't know what they're missing. I listen everyday just so i can have a good laugh and wake up before work. Don't ever stop doing what you do. Stephen

We're all so dirty
Recently, a business education blog called Online MBA conducted a study looking at online pornography. Here are some of their findings:
--According to the study, 12% of all websites on the Internet are pornographic. That's nearly 25 MILLION websites overall.
--ONE in FOUR search engine queries . . . roughly 68 MILLION a day . . . are related to pornography. Also, it pains to me say that there are 116,000 searches for "child pornography" every day.
--The most popular pornographic search term is "sex," followed by "adult dating" and "porn."
--40 MILLION Americans regularly visit at least one pornographic website. About a THIRD of them are women.
--35% of all Internet downloads are pornographic.
--The average age a child first sees online pornography is 11.
--ONE in FIVE guys admit they look at porno at work, and so do 13% of women.
--The average visit to a pornographic website lasts six minutes and 29 seconds.
--The state with the highest rate of pornographic website subscriptions is Utah.
--The least popular day of the year to look at pornography is Thanksgiving. And the most popular day of the week to view online smut is Sunday.
--Every second, $3,075.64 is spent on Internet pornography. And at any given moment, 28,258 people are watching online smut.
--Overall, the online pornography industry pulls in $2.84 BILLION a year in the U.S. alone. That accounts for 58% of the $4.9 BILLION Internet pornography pulls in worldwide.

Dam that Cancer
Got a friend or family member affected by Cancer. Make a small donation, even if it's $5 to www.damthatcancer.com
Me, my friends Steve, Tim and Alan will be Stand Up Paddling from Lake Travis to Abels on the Lake. 20 miles. Help out if you can. The event is on June 28th.
We're trying to make sense of the Bob Schneider song "40 Dogs". Can you help?
Well if I spell it out, if I get it out,
Will you hear me when I tell you about
What I have to say, before it gets too late?
It's not as easy as I said it'd be,
But there’s something right about you and me,
Something right about you and me.
Well you’re the color of a burning brook,
You’re the color of a sideways look from an undercover cop in a comic book
You’re the color of a storm in June,
You're the color of the moon.
You’re the color of the night, that’s right,
Color of a fight - you move me.
You’re the color of the colored part of The Wizard of Oz movie.
We're like Romeo and Juliet,
We're like 40 dogs, cigarettes,
We're like good times that haven’t happened yet but will.
And I can tell you where we're gonna be
When the whole world falls to the sea:
We’ll be livin’ ever after, happily.
All the boys taking you for granted,
Tell you what they want with their eyes all slanted.
I don’t like the way they look at you,
I don’t like the way they talk to,
I don’t like the way they talk to you.
I wouldn’t let 'em talk to you like that.
Put 'em up high, reach for the ceiling.
Tell them that I'ma walk, damn it, I'm real,
And it ain't no crime, it's just dreams we’re stealing -
Anything to get more of this feeling
You take the high and I'll take the low,
We'll get there before you know.
We ain't got no time to waste,
We got too much life to taste.
We're like Romeo and Juliet,
And 40 dogs, cigarettes,
We're like good times that haven’t happened yet but will.
And I can tell you where we're gonna be
When the whole world falls to the sea:
We’ll be livin’ ever after, happily.
Sometimes you remind me of a moonbeam,
On the ghost of a moonbeam out on the beach,
Down by the coast, slip into Manila,
Like the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Come out tonight, come out with me, baby.
We'll throw the careful into the crazy,
Turn the sky black into a sky blue,
Turn the close shave into a hoo-hoo.
What I say is true, make a fire, gotta burn a few,
Make a fire, gotta burn a few,
We can do what we want to do.
We're like Romeo and Juliet, 40 dogs, cigarettes,
We're like good times that haven’t happened yet but will.
I can tell you where we're gonna be
When the whole world falls to the sea:
We’ll be livin’ ever after, happily.

Some Answers about Willie cutting his hair
Last week, the world found out that WILLIE NELSON cut his hair. And this week we know why. It was just too much trouble.
--He tells Canada's "National Post", quote, "I felt like I was pulling a trailer it had gotten so long.
--"My hair was way down below my waist, it was a problem . . . it was heavy, it got dirty and I couldn't wash it because I hurt my arm playing golf. I was using a five wood and hit a rock, and when I hurt my arm that was the last straw.
--"I couldn't take care of my hair by myself and I had to have Annie, my wife, help me wash it."
--Willie was so fed up he didn't even bother hiring a professional to do the cutting.
--He explains, quote, "I was looking for a pair of scissors and I found one in the bathroom drawer and just reached back there and grabbed the ponytail and just cut it as close as I could get it."
This still doesn't answer my burning question, Where are the braids? Did he not save them for a museum, charity auction or something?

top things Americans can't live without
HERE ARE TEN THINGS AMERICANS CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT:
Recently, "U.S. News and World Report" ran an article looking at sales figures going back to the start of the economic downturn in 2007.
--Other than essentials like food and shelter, the idea was to find the ten things Americans can't live without even when times are tough.
--Things like cigarettes, pornography, and even toilet paper all took hits. Here are ten things that didn't:
#1.) Laptops: According to the Consumer Electronics Association, laptop sales this year are expected to be twice what they were in 2007.
#2.) High-speed Internet: In a Pew Research Center survey last year, high-speed Internet was one of just three things people said was more of a necessity now than in 2006.
#3.) Smart phones: Overall, cell phone sales dropped last year for the first time ever, but sales of smart phones were actually up by 7%. And sales are expected to increase another 25% this year.
#4.) Education: Between 2008 and 2010, enrollment in private schools fell by less than 1%, while college enrollment has gone up.
#5.) Movies: Last year's total box office gross was more than $10.6 BILLION. That's a five-year high.
#6.) TV: According to a recent survey, the average American watches 18 hours of TV a week. That's two hours more than last year . . . maybe because everyone's sitting at home unemployed.
#7.) Music downloads: Last year, CD sales dropped by 21%, but song and album downloads increased by nearly as much.
#8.) Pets: For the past several years, the amount of money we spend on pet food, supplies, and veterinarian visits has continued to rise by about 5% a year.
#9.) Alcohol: Bar and restaurant sales are down, but overall sales of beer and wine are both up. In other words, people are drinking more, but they're doing it at home.
#10.) Coffee: According to the National Coffee Association, Americans have cut back on coffee from Starbucks and other restaurants by about 5% this year. But the number of Americans who make coffee at home has increased by about 4%.

Please read about the event and donate if you can
Every year during Bikes for Kids, I see a friend of mine from High School come out with her son Max to support Bikes for Kids. Max is big into cycling and comes out to say hello to us and Lance Armstrong every year. He's a great kid. Support this if you can. Easy to make a $5 donation online, don't you think?
You are invited to Max's Bicycle Hero Ride benefitting JB & Sandy's Bikes for Kids for the 94.7 radio station
on Saturday May 29, 2010 at 4pm in Champion Park, Cedar Park Texas.
Max has supported Bikes for Kids for years and decided that he wanted to have his own bike ride event
where his friends can have the experience of a real ride without too much pressure.
Max says, "It's not about the distance it's about the donations"!
He had to do a community service project for his Quest class so we finally had a deadline to get this done. You can
go to his website (www.MaxCannon.com) to get all the details about the ride. Since this is our first year - we don't
know what to expect - but I can guarantee you'll want to be in on the ground floor. He presented this event to
his entire school at the Quest fair and will have posters around the school trying to get a good turnout and a great
donations.
We hope to see you there - please feel free to pass on this invite!
12 Ways to reduce Cancer risk
TWELVE WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR RISK OF GETTING CANCER:
May is National Cancer Research Month, so here's a list from "Prevention Magazine" of twelve ways to reduce your cancer risk . . .
#1.) GET A LITTLE SUN. Vitamin D lies dormant in your skin until ultraviolet rays from the sun activate it. And getting 10 to 15 minutes of sun a few days a week can help prevent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, breast cancer, and colon cancer.
--Just don't get burnt. Every time you get a sunburn, you increase your chances of developing skin cancer.
#2.) DRINK DECAF. According to two Harvard University studies, drinking two or more cups of decaf a day might lower your risk of rectal cancer by 52%. Researchers think it's because coffee makes you go to the bathroom more often.
--But they have no idea why decaf has better results than regular coffee.
#3.) LISTEN TO KATIE COURIC. Colon cancer is the second deadliest type of cancer there is. So if it runs in your family, schedule a colonoscopy before your 50th birthday at the latest . . . like Katie Couric did on live television in 2000.
#4.) EAT AN ORANGE EVERY DAY. Research shows that if you have enough vitamin C in your system, it kills the bacteria that cause peptic ulcers and lead to stomach cancer.
#5.) LOSE TEN POUNDS. Even if you're not technically overweight, gaining ten pounds after the age of 30 increases your risk of developing breast cancer, cervical cancer, and pancreatic cancer.
--And according to the American Cancer Society, obesity is to blame for 20% of all cancer deaths among women, and 14% among men.
#6.) STEAM YOUR BROCCOLI. A bunch of different studies have shown that eating large amounts of broccoli can prevent cancer from developing in your stomach, lungs, ovaries, bladder, and colon.
--And steaming it locks in a cancer-fighting compound called sulforaphane (--pronounced sul-FOR-a-fane) that's been shown to stop the growth of breast cancer cells. But microwaving doesn't work. It strips out most of the antioxidants.
#7.) EAT BANANAS AND CARROTS. In a Swedish study, women who ate four to six bananas every week cut their risk of kidney cancer by 54%. And root vegetables like carrots did the same thing.
#8.) CHECK FOR NEW MOLES. The most common place for women to get skin cancer is on your legs. For guys, it's around your head, neck, and arms. But you're supposed to check your ENTIRE body. And ideally, someone ELSE should do it.
--If you're over 40, see the dermatologist once a year even if you DON'T have any new moles.
#9.) DRINK MILK. It's good for your bones, but it also might prevent colon cancer. Researchers at Dartmouth gave people 1,200 milligrams of calcium every day. That's the equivalent of three eight-ounce glasses of milk.
--After four years, the people who took calcium developed 36% fewer pre-cancerous growths in their colon compared to the people who took a placebo.
#10.) EAT ANYTHING WITH TOMATOES IN IT. Lycopene reduces your cancer risk. And men who eat a lot of pizza, spaghetti, and ketchup are less likely to get prostate cancer. But be careful how much ketchup you eat. It's loaded with salt.
#11.) DON'T EAT HOT DOGS. A study of 190,000 people found that eating one hot dog a day boosts your risk of pancreatic cancer by 67%. And pancreatic cancer is almost always fatal. The same goes for sausages and other processed meats.
#12.) QUIT SMOKING NOW. Everyone talks about cigarettes causing lung cancer, but they also cause cancer of the mouth, larynx, and esophagus. Plus, smoking increases your chances of stomach, liver, prostate, colon, and breast cancer too.
--The good news is, if you quit smoking right now, in 15 years your risk of developing lung cancer will be almost as low as if you'd never smoked.
(Prevention Magazine)
May is National Cancer Research Month, so here's a list from "Prevention Magazine" of twelve ways to reduce your cancer risk . . .
#1.) GET A LITTLE SUN. Vitamin D lies dormant in your skin until ultraviolet rays from the sun activate it. And getting 10 to 15 minutes of sun a few days a week can help prevent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, breast cancer, and colon cancer.
--Just don't get burnt. Every time you get a sunburn, you increase your chances of developing skin cancer.
#2.) DRINK DECAF. According to two Harvard University studies, drinking two or more cups of decaf a day might lower your risk of rectal cancer by 52%. Researchers think it's because coffee makes you go to the bathroom more often.
--But they have no idea why decaf has better results than regular coffee.
#3.) LISTEN TO KATIE COURIC. Colon cancer is the second deadliest type of cancer there is. So if it runs in your family, schedule a colonoscopy before your 50th birthday at the latest . . . like Katie Couric did on live television in 2000.

10 reasons to stay single
Sometimes it sucks being single. Especially when all your friends are dating or married. But there's a lot to be said for the single life. Here are ten reasons it's actually BETTER to be single . . .
#1.) YOUR CAREER WILL BENEFIT. It takes time to build a relationship . . . and that's time you COULD be spending on your career. When you're single, you don't have to think twice about staying late at the office, or bringing home extra work.
#2.) YOU NEVER NEED TO MAKE PLANS FOR TWO. When you're single, you don't have to run your plans by someone else, or ask "permission" before you do something. You can do what you want, when you want.
#3.) YOU'LL BE HEALTHIER. The first thing you do when you lock down a boyfriend or girlfriend is let yourself go. There's no need to eat right or exercise if you're not chasing tail. You know it's true.
#4.) WEDDINGS ARE MORE FUN. Going to a wedding when you're single is a completely different experience. Everyone is drinking and having a good time, and if you play your cards right, everyone wants to hook-up afterwards.
#5.) YOU CAN ENJOY YOUR PERSONAL SPACE. Does this one even need to be explained?
#6.) YOU'LL SAVE MONEY. Sure, you spend a lot of money when you're single and dating. But no one spends more than a married couple: They're always re-doing the living room, taking trips to visit family, and having kids.
#7.) THE SEX IS BETTER. There are definitely benefits to sleeping with the same person every night. For example . . . okay, I can't think of one. I guess you get to know their likes and dislikes, and vice versa. But that's usually where it ends.
#8.) YOU CAN WATCH WHATEVER YOU WANT. When you're single, you never have to fight over the remote, or have someone "accidentally" record over the Megan Fox movie you TiVo'd.
#9.) YOU CAN SPEND MORE TIME WITH YOUR FRIENDS. No matter how hard you try, you'll ALWAYS hang out with your friends less once you're in a relationship.
#10.) YOU LEARN ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT AND NEED. Being single doesn't mean being alone. It's actually a great opportunity to learn about yourself . . . because only YOU know what really makes YOU happy.

Of course there's an Austin connection with Kathy Valentine living here. I would definitely give them a nice sweet spot in rock n roll history. I'm there for the Austin show. A vid for nostalgic purposes.
