The JB and Sandy Show

Why does everybody in Zone 12 crowd the gate like they're boarding first? Wednesday on The JB and Sandy Show opens with airport etiquette, from Zone 12 boarding to the baggage carousel crowd. Story We Love asks if there's any gritty music venue left in Austin, Care Don't Care covers TSA gate passes, a Super Bowl halftime rumor and what Roger really means, and Arch Manning faces a crossroads while...

Did you know Roger in "Roger that" actually stands for something? JB, Sandy and Tricia wrap up Wednesday with the things we learned. Sandy accidentally promises a $475,000 giveaway before fixing it to $475 for Minute to Win It, blaming Lotto on the brain. Then the crew breaks down what Roger stands for, received order given expect results, and Sandy remembers General Honore saying "over" at press...

How much is a cow tooth in your breakfast taco worth? JB, Sandy and Tricia start with Big Frank's perfect F1 week observation: a guy driving a car worth more than your whole neighborhood gets stuck behind the same orange traffic cone as you. There is a pop up F1 store on South Congress with a line out the door, and a tribute to Lucy in Disguise. Then an Austin woman finds a whole cow tooth in her...

Have you ever walked away from a job after just one day? JB and Sandy ask Central Texas for their best stories about quitting on day one, and the phones deliver. Jeff answered a no experience necessary ad right out of high school and found out he was running the hose on a porta potty truck, which sent him back to college. Wayne made it four hours as a busboy in Seabrook, Texas before one table pus...

Have you ever paid 60 bucks for a school photo package that started at 28? In this Story We Love, Tricia shares how an Idaho mom with three kids stopped playing the school photo package game. Her kids still sit for picture day so they land in the yearbook, but she takes her own photos at home and uses AI to add a school style background and fix the lighting. The results look totally pro, and she p...

How long can JB hold onto one simple thought? About ten seconds, it turns out. Every day at the end of the show, JB and Sandy record a promo for what is coming up the next morning. They talk it over first, then hit record. Sandy plays the tape from yesterday so you can hear the planning conversation about quitting a job after one day, followed by JB starting the promo and losing the idea completel...

What do you do when a comedian you love puts out a special that just does not land? JB is a mega fan of stand up comedy and a big Theo Von fan, so it is not in his nature to warn people away from something. But the new Netflix special fell flat for him, and his wife did not finish it either. JB lays out his theory on why the rock star act does not fit a good old boy from Louisiana who is funniest...

Is being a social media influencer a legitimate career, or just a really good side hustle? JB, Sandy and Tricia open the phone lines for the Unknown Poll and compare Central Texas answers to a national survey. Frank from New Braunfels says influencing is not a career, but it can open the door to acting and other work. Christine thinks it is too temporary to count as a real career. Then the crew ta...

Do you know which president is on the ten dollar bill? Caitlin from Maxwell, Texas is ready to play JB and Sandy's Minute to Win It for $450. She has the answers to questions six, seven and eight, and if she wins, it is going to be all the buzz at the Maxwell Social Club, a spot one of the guys knows well from cutting through on his bicycle. Tricia fires off ten questions in sixty seconds: downs i...

Is Arch Manning about to lose first team reps at Texas? In this Story We Love, Tricia has the report that backup quarterback KJ Lacey Jr. is getting more first team reps in practice this week. Nobody in the studio is surprised, and one theory is that it happens at every position, just without the headlines. Sark has said he stands by his quarterback, and the crew remembers the last time Longhorns...

Do you know what Roger actually stands for in Roger that? In Care Don't Care, Tricia keeps the airport theme rolling. TSA started letting people without a boarding pass go back to the gates again, and now it might be rolling that back because of all the extra congestion. The guys are not thrilled about losing that quiet wait in the cell phone lot, and one theory is that the airport shops pushed fo...

Is there anywhere left in Austin that is still gritty enough to see a band? In this Story We Love, Tricia has the news that AEG Presents broke ground on a 65,000 square foot venue in the River Park development off East Riverside. It will hold 4,000 people, which puts it between Stubb's and the Moody Amphitheater, and the mock-up looks more like an art museum than a honky tonk. That sends Sandy, JB...

Who is the worst person in the airport? The show kicks off with Sandy admiring JB's Longhorn hat, and the talk turns to a head so big that no swag bag hat has ever fit it, plus the company that promises it will. Then Tricia's first laugh of the day lands: better make sure you stand right in front of the boarding line, just in case they start with zone 12. That opens the floodgates on airport behav...

How long can you drive around with a broken headlight before it just becomes part of the car? Things We Learned wraps Tuesday's JB and Sandy Show. The Minute to Win It pot climbs to $450, with three of the answers already posted on social. Then the big lesson of the day: Sandy has no problem using things that are broken. His headphones are missing an ear pad, and his passenger headlight lens has b...

Where did you cast your vote? Tricia is sick of the political texts and door knocks, and somebody has a tip that voting gets you off the call lists.

Would your kids even want your old records? What's old is new again. Kids are buying vinyl, CDs and even VHS, and a couple of Austin video stores have reopened.

What's the first thing your spouse corrects you on every day? Sandy chugs a protein shake in the kitchen and Tricia's first words to him are "that's not how you're supposed to drink that." The guys pile on with everything wives correct: how to fold the towels, why you changed lanes on 183, and the parking spot that's never the right one. Tricia defends the end spot. Then caller Rafael says his wif...

Have you seen a cavalry Stetson lying around North Austin? In this Story We Love, Tricia has the story of an Army pilot whose cavalry Stetson flew right out of his helicopter during the flyover at the Texas-Florida game. Now he's asking Austin to help find it, and it might be somewhere near DPS on North Lamar. JB and Sandy talk military tradition, what that hat means to a pilot, and the odds someo...

How do you break bad news to a friend about his celebrity crush? Sandy has to tell JB that his longtime crush, Christiane Amanpour, is leaving CNN after 43 years. JB takes it about as well as you would expect. Then Tricia and Sandy put him on the spot with a tough choice: Christiane or Martha Stewart? Subscribe to The JB and Sandy Show, leave a review, and share it with a friend.

If you could build one meal from your favorite breakfast, lunch and dinner, what would be on the plate? JB and Tricia fire questions at Sandy. His dream meal is a Jim's breakfast taco, french fries and corned beef. Then comes the list of broken things he refuses to fix, starting with a headlight lens lost to a white pole on MoPac at 80 miles an hour, plus a busted headphone pad and his glasses. Re...

What would you grab if your house caught fire in the middle of the night? Longtime listener and friend of the show Curtis calls JB, Sandy and Tricia after a fire at his Liberty Hill area home.

Curtis tells how he got everyone out of the house in his bathrobe, what the firefighters found, an...

Is your shower curtain open or closed, and why can't three people in one studio agree? Tuesday on The JB and Sandy Show opens with Tricia's first laugh about turning into your parents, then Story We Love heads to Wurstfest with JB's real Munich lederhosen. Care Don't Care brings Nic Cage, True Detective and the great shower curtain fight, F1 week brings a billion dollars to Austin, and Lori goes f...

Could you name the Monday Night Football score in five seconds? Lori is nervous from the moment she gets on the phone for JB and Sandy's Minute to Win It, so the guys throw her an off the record bonus: name the 49ers and Commanders score in five seconds and she gets 12 extra seconds on the clock. She was watching baseball instead, which turns into a quick celebration of the Tampa Bay Rays heading...

How much is one race weekend really worth to Austin? In this Story We Love, Tricia breaks down Formula One week in town. Hotels across Austin are expected to be 92 to 95 percent full, and the race brings in about a billion dollars in economic impact, with half of it spent directly on hotels, food and shopping. JB and Sandy remember when one orange Lamborghini screaming through downtown was the onl...

Is your shower curtain open or closed, and why can nobody agree on what that even means? In Care Don't Care, Tricia starts with the new cast of True Detective season five. Antonio Banderas and Nicolas Cage are in, and the guys get sidetracked by Cage playing John Madden and the impressionist who made a whole career out of that voice. Then comes the real fight. The verdict is in that you should lea...
