Transcript

Speaker 1

We all three point one Austin's eighties station. It's the JD and Sandy Show. Whether you like it or not, if you're attractive, you've got it easier in life.

Speaker 2

You just do. I don't know if I'm gonna just say it's a scientific fact.

Speaker 1

I have no idea if it is or not making it, but I'm just making it sound official. Our opinion is that if you're a good looking person, it's easier in.

Speaker 2

Life for you. Yeah, I can give you an example. Let's do it.

Speaker 3

So.

Speaker 4

I live in Travis Heights, which is near downtown, and a lot of renters around me are like, you know, three four twenty somethings all living together because it's so expensive to live in this town, which is fine, don't care, I get it, you know, but it so like, let's say you have four people living this next door, then their boyfriends and girlfriends start parking there too, and the street just becomes chaos.

Speaker 2

Right, It's just a lot of cars.

Speaker 4

And I'm pretty diligent about parking in my driveway, even had it widened, you know, so I can get more cars in there.

Speaker 2

Not that you know, just didn't want to have a wide driveway.

Speaker 5

I noticed that too.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 4

I don't know if it's legal. Bit I needed more space, like you could park a couple of eighteen leaguers.

Speaker 2

It's a big one. It's a big driveway. That's a big one. I'm proudly the thing. You don't have to shovel it for the snow.

Speaker 4

No kidding, But my suspicion starting like a month ago there there was a new boyfriend or girlfriend because this Mini Cooper kept parking so like if you're facing my house, to the left is a duplex with a lot of young people, and this car kept parking in front of my house, which I don't I don't mind, but they were always sticking out in front of my and blocking my driveway a little bit. So if I wasn't paying attention and just back straight out of the drive I

would smack it. Yeah, And it was really starting to bother me, starting to I'm that grumpy old guy now starting to bother me.

Speaker 2

And I'm telling my wife, man, i haven't.

Speaker 4

Seen whoever's getting in and out of that Mini Cooper, but I'm gonna have to have a little chat with him.

Speaker 2

You know, this is you know, then you come back, there's that dang Mini Cooper. Again, look at that.

Speaker 4

Look at how far it's sticking out in front of the drug Look at that.

Speaker 2

Look at that.

Speaker 4

So this has been going on for days, for three four weeks, this has been going on about how I've just had it with this car.

Speaker 2

You're talking all tough to.

Speaker 4

Your wife, right, Oh yeah, I'm very okay, Okay, none of us had seen the person going in or out until yesterday.

Speaker 2

Well did you say what kind of car it is?

Speaker 4

It's a Mini Cooper Okay, and probably some douche guy.

Speaker 2

I'm kidding.

Speaker 4

So I'm out there doing some leaf blowing and ear protection, eye protection, and out like their driveway is really steep, and out comes down the driveway this young chick, this cute little blonde, and she is wearing like tall boots and she had on a like a beige leather mini skirt that did not leave much to the imagination. Super cute, smoking hot, smoking hot gets in the Mini Cooper and I'm like, huh huh.

Speaker 2

I start justifying thing.

Speaker 5

Oh, maybe it's not so bad, Maybe it doesn't bother me. I'm doing her a.

Speaker 3

Little bit of a favor so she doesn't have to walk as far.

Speaker 2

It's not so bad.

Speaker 4

And and I was tempted to say something and chat with her, but I knew I was Do you guys watch Modern Family? Yes, you know how inappropriate Phil is with chicks all the time. I had to stop myself from becoming Phil because I who, you're the one with the Mini Cooper. I was wondering, you know, and you know, and I just wanted to tell you it's a good thing. It's such a small car, so it's not blocking much, you know, just start sucking.

Speaker 2

Up to her.

Speaker 6

Yeah, that guy, here's a question.

Speaker 1

I want to know what time of day were you blowing the leaves? When was she leaving? Was it in the morning like or for her underpants? Probably in her purse.

Speaker 4

I think that this is a regular boyfriend girlfriend, that's car has been coming around for like a month solid, So it's it's past that that walk of shame of status.

Speaker 5

So now you're fine with the Mini Cooper?

Speaker 4

You know, she can I was I think I'm a leonard that she can park in my driveway if it's a little crowded on the street and it's late and you need to be as close as possible.

Speaker 6

For safety reasons of first of course for sing right, I mean, and you.

Speaker 4

Know, if you pull up and you just want to give it a little little tap, I can come out and make sure you get there safely.

Speaker 1

But of course then you go back in the house and you tell your wife. I saw the mini couper driver. I gave him a piece of my mind.

Speaker 2

That ain't gonna happen again.

Speaker 6

Oh, she's probably like the creepy guy next door was totally staring at me while he was doing his leaf blowing today.

Speaker 1

Picture of JB out there at his cargo shorts and his eye protection and ear protection and the cute.

Speaker 4

Girling, just just sitting there monitoring, Like I'll patch in my uh drinking camera to my TV so I can monitor the front.

Speaker 3

Twenty four to seven, A rush out there.

Speaker 5

You know what just reminds me of Sandy.

Speaker 2

What's up?

Speaker 5

Remember when we lived on the lake.

Speaker 6

We had a party, bunch of people from the radio station out there. One girl in particular, got super drunk. I don't even know if you know this story. JB super drunk. We couldn't find her. I found her upstairs hiding in our bathtub at one point and was like, I need.

Speaker 3

To remember this. I don't remember who it was.

Speaker 6

Well, I know you remember what. I remember that I got her out of the bathroom. Then we lost her again and somebody was like, last time I saw her was on the boat dock. So then there was this scare that she had fallen in the water. So we called the police. The cops come, the guys in the boat come. We're looking everywhere for her. It was very stressful, and later find out that she had started walking down the street and some random person picked her up into our neighbor.

Speaker 5

Did I thought it was a random person.

Speaker 6

The point was she got home fine after causing total chaos, and I was so angry.

Speaker 2

And you were angry at me for some reason.

Speaker 6

I was angry at you because you were like, it's fine, it's no big deal, it's fine. I was like, because she was hot. She was not by any of it because she was hot.

Speaker 3

There is a lot of truth to this, but it goes both ways.

Speaker 4

Right, because I've always heard like, Okay, there are very inappropriate sexual harassment situations that I'm not taking lightly, But a lot of times the difference between a woman being sexually harassed or not at work depends on his appearance only it's complete sexual harassment. If he's you know, Don Draper, It's like, huh, he walks.

Speaker 2

Up to your cubicle with his pants down at his ankle.

Speaker 5

That's not okay, that's not okay.

Speaker 4

But is there some truth to that too? Like you give a lot more leeway to an attractive guy?

Speaker 5

I mean yeah, I mean I guess did.

Speaker 2

It at a restaurant once? The waiter was super cute. He was a crap waiter.

Speaker 3

He was a.

Speaker 5

Terrible rude and I gave him like a thirty Yeah you.

Speaker 1

Told me to, and you were, like you said to me, he goes give him a good tip. He's cute.

Speaker 5

Yeah, he's a terrible waiver, I know, but he was really cute.

Speaker 1

But he's cute. And Landry was all about him too. You know who I'm talking about.

Speaker 5

I do, I do talk about.

Speaker 6

And when we went back the next time, I asked for his table, but he wasn't working. I mean, I might have taken it a little too far, but he was much.

Speaker 5

Younger than me. It's true.

Speaker 6

You do give a little bit of leeway depending on appearance.

Speaker 3

I mean you do. We just did a scientific study right here.

Speaker 2

That I'm friends. That's right, we're gonna mail this off.

Speaker 1

Everyone will be talking to everybody.

Speaker 2

Stick around.

Speaker 1

If you are nervous about your personal information being leaked on the internet. JB has discovered an app. He's going to tell you that not gonna lie. It might If it frightens you. Like it frightened JB, You're gonna want to take some action, all right, stick with us. It's coming up before eight o'clock on Austin's eighty station one oh three point one and streaming on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 5

So the new iHeart app just looks better.

Speaker 2

Speaker 5

The app, it's the preciss super easy and thank you for keeping it free. Find out what everyone's talking about. Get the new and improved free iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1

Today it's the JB and Sandy Show on Austin's eighty station what O three point one. Hey, if you want to win a thousand dollars, be listening at nine o'clock.

Speaker 2

That's your first chance today.

Speaker 1

It's coming up at nine on Austin's eighty station one O three point one. I think people's biggest fear one of their biggest There's a lot of big fears, but your information, your personal information being leaked online, ending up on the dark web is scary. It can happen. It happens to a lot of people. Identity theft is a real thing. I know people that have gone through it. It's awful.

Speaker 2

And JB, did you stumble upon this or did you seek it out? Yeah? I, you know, I may have.

Speaker 4

It may have been because of some searches I've done recently. My daughter had some stuff compromised online, and so I was probably, you know, maybe the algorithm knew I was looking for this kind of stuff. But I, I mean, this is just a couple of days ago. I stumbled across something in my feed and it's like tired of spam calls and blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 2

And all this stuff.

Speaker 4

And I looked at it, open it up, and it's an app called Cloaked Close c l O A k ed cloaked and it said, you know, plug in your phone number and we can tell you how many places your information is compromised online. And I just just my phone number, no name, no nothing, no name, no address, no other information. I just put in my phone number.

It spit out in no time. My first middle and last name, my social security number, my address, next of ken like everything, and it said that this information lives online in over twelve hundred places.

Speaker 5

Ah wow, and then the fine.

Speaker 4

You know, and I looked, you know, I look for articles written from credible sources on these kind of apps, and you know, Forbes had done a story on it.

Speaker 3

I was like, okay, okay, this, I trust it.

Speaker 4

And and then I download the app and it just I got an update like the following day it said we found it on these eleven and are working to remove it. So I don't know exactly how it all works, but it's a process, and it's ten bucks a month, or if you pay for the full year, it's down to eight bucks a month. But I mean, if it gets rid of the spam calls alone, that's worth It's true.

Speaker 2

You know.

Speaker 3

And then see and my social security number on there too.

Speaker 2

I was like, what that. You know? I do?

Speaker 4

I do have like LifeLock and some of that stuff, and you know, they're very good about the alerts if someone tries to open up credit.

Speaker 2

But man, it's scary.

Speaker 5

Yeah.

Speaker 6

I don't think it's a matter of if people have your inspiration, they have it. I think it's just more of a matter of when they choose to use it when it gets by, you know, and actually people are successful and it's completely stealing your identity.

Speaker 4

It's terrifying, but it's it's interesting how much stuff they could know about me, and then you know, call a relative and try to scam them.

Speaker 2

Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5

Yeah, are you putting your stuff in, Sandy, I put mine in.

Speaker 1

I'm not doing it right now, but I wanted to point out to everybody that it's really a good idea. And I've talked to a lot of people in the financial world that and they all recommend freezing your credit. Go online, yeah, freeze your credit that way. If someone applies to get credit in your name, it's frozen, they can't do anything about your unfreezing that and it's free to do. You do.

Speaker 4

You have to do it individually with all three reporting services.

Speaker 1

Correct correct, you go to you know, Equifax, Experience, TransUnion.

Speaker 2

I've done it on all three. It's really simple to do now.

Speaker 1

But it's important to keep in mind too that should you say, want to go get a car, by a car and you need to get a loan for a car, you got to unlock it but that's not hard to do either.

Speaker 4

You're not doing that very How often are you making right, you know, right, right, big purchases where they run your credit?

Speaker 2

Not very often.

Speaker 6

I sent my information in uncloaked JB and it came back with my birth date too, and friends and relatives.

Speaker 5

Some of them are wrong, of course.

Speaker 6

But I mean, yeah, and your social that might Yeah, it has an xed out, but it shows showed me the first four digits of my social It says that mine was found on one hundred plus data brokers.

Speaker 1

Those are people that got your Yeah, that someone sold your your email to to market to you.

Speaker 5

Right, I guess I don't know.

Speaker 6

Just as threat level high, everyone that goes there is going to get a threat level high.

Speaker 4

So they'll pay them. That's a very smart plan for them. Yeah, yeah, right, so.

Speaker 1

Jimmy, they're gonna well they'll for the ten bucks a month, they'll work to get rid of some of this stuff to protect you.

Speaker 4

What are they they're cleaning they're slowly cleaning it up. So it said it should decrease, you know, all the spam and all that. I haven't opened it in a day or two, but uh, it said it was starting to remove my information from different sites.

Speaker 2

Wow, that's goods. I've done some of that through Google too.

Speaker 1

I don't think it's quite as extensive as this, but you can go in and like I get an email every once a while, we found your name on certain certain sites. Do you want us to remove it? And I go and say yes, it takes a while to do.

Speaker 2

Uh.

Speaker 1

This sounds a lot more uh detailed than you know what my was showing up on.

Speaker 2

So protect yourselves?

Speaker 4

Yeah, what's what's the saying if if you know a lot of people use free apps and they give them their information, and if it's if the app is free, what's the product?

Speaker 2

The product?

Speaker 6

Is you?

Speaker 2

Right?

Speaker 3

And that's saying that's.

Speaker 1

True, we've exchanged our personal information for apps and free stuff.

Speaker 2

Yeah, exactly right.

Speaker 1

So again, if you're just joining us, it's cloaked. You can go to the website c l O A K ed kind of scared, I guess, or I guess you can just download the app, right juv.
