The JB and Sandy Show

What was Grandpa really whittling out on the back porch? JB, Sandy and Tricia wrap up Monday with Things We Learned. First, the family phone call everybody is talking about: Sandy and Tricia's 17-year-old daughter ran into HEB for breakfast and found the shelves completely cleaned out, so the crew figures somebody must have robbed the place. Then a quick reminder that the Minute to Win It pot has...

Was Tricia really a line dance instructor in Austin? The long-running gag gets a new twist: maybe she started in Creedmoor and worked her way to Buda. Then Tricia spent the weekend representing all the '80s kids with a scary movie marathon, starting with Poltergeist. Does it still hold up?

When did a No. 1 team last lose two straight to unranked opponents? Sandy dug up the answer, 1961, and nobody in the studio wanted to hear it. Then a Story We Love about barbecue in the age of soaring beef prices, after Sandy's $78 brisket dinner for three. Subscribe to The JB and Sandy Show, leave a review, and share it with a friend.

How do you find nothing to eat at HEB? Sandy and Tricia's 17-year-old daughter Landry, fresh off her TV moment at the Run for the Roses, calls in to explain. She went to HEB looking for breakfast and came up empty: ready-made lunches, dinners, soups, salads and wraps everywhere, but nothing grab-and-go for the morning.

Are you secretly testing your spouse? JB is convinced his neat-freak wife leaves one chair alone just to see if he'll ever clean it. Then Tricia shares the story of her friend Kristen, a perfectly spotless kitchen island, and one KIND bar wrapper left at the end of it to see how long it would take her husband to notice.

What did JB buy off Instagram this time? A good Texan always has a knife in his pocket, but between giant phones, key fobs and wallets with AirTags, JB's pockets are overflowing, and he is not wearing cargo shorts. So his latest impulse buy is a belt with a knife hidden right in the buckle. Sandy thinks it's the dumbest thing in the world. JB's wife says it's great. You decide. Subscribe to The JB...

Did Tricia stop talking for even one step of the 5K? JB, Sandy and Tricia look back on the Livestrong Run for the Roses, from seeing Willie out there running with his braids flying to a big shout-out to Haley and Grace. Tricia walked the 5K with JB's wife Erin and daughter Raleigh, and Sandy called it before they even started: once the conversation got going, it wasn't stopping until the finish li...

How do you prove you are a working musician just to get a parking deal? In this Story We Love, Tricia has good news for players in the live music capital of the world. Metropolis Technologies, the company behind checkout free payment systems in parking garages, plans to let working musicians park in more than 70 of its Austin lots for a flat five dollar fee. That is a big deal when a downtown spot...

Do you really want to know what the American dream costs now? In Care Don't Care, Tricia explains why Drew Barrymore hosting the Pillsbury Bake Off Classic might be the worst possible match. She is a famous close talker, and Tricia can already picture her face right up on the desserts everyone else has to taste. JB and Sandy debate whether all that intensity is real, and the comparisons get very c...

Ever notice everyone wants to move to Austin on the one perfect weather weekend of the year? The semi popular JB and Sandy Show kicks off the week from the shadow of the 360 bridge, still sore from a rough Longhorns weekend and marveling at a Chamber of Commerce kind of Sunday. That gives Sandy a big idea: a downtown exhibition sweatbox for all the South by, ACL Fest and F1 visitors, so they can f...

Could you name last night's Cowboys score in five seconds for extra time on the clock? Melissa from Bastrop plays JB and Sandy's Minute to Win It for $400, and Sandy opens with an offer: name the exact score of the Cowboys and Packers game and she gets a minute and 12 seconds instead of a minute. She didn't watch, so it is 60 seconds and Tricia starts firing questions. Baseball players, baby deer,...

What kind of toy comes in an adult Happy Meal? Friday on The JB and Sandy Show opens with a very loud swallow, vest season and Tricia's mortician shoelace joke. Story We Love says goodbye to Austin's digital Whataburger, Stephen Presley breaks down Kelly Clarkson's toy store feud and the I Play Rocky premiere, and Care Don't Care digs into Tricia's lotto side hustle and the food trends of 2027. P....

If you win the lotto, why can't you just hand your buddy a million bucks? JB, Sandy and Tricia close out the week with Things We Learned. Catherine tried so hard on Minute to Win It and couldn't get there, so the pot grows to $400 for Monday, and the crew explains why it's a different game when the lights are on and the clock is ticking. Then the children's book Mrs. Runkle Takes a Poo hits its fi...

Why does it take a year and a half to build a good habit and about six months to lose it? JB checks in on Sandy's big reboot. Before the show came back on the air April 1st, Sandy had cut out sugar, was taking long morning walks, cold plunging, and had dropped more than 30 pounds. Then the new gig started and all of it went out the window. His comeback week is not going well, unless you count the...

How many sumo matches can you fit into one night when every bout is over in seconds? Sandy ran into his buddy Pat, who made him promise to tell everybody who listens to 98.1 KVET that he went to the sumo matches last weekend and said it was incredible. It turns out it's a touring league, they ran about 30 matches because they're over so fast, and the best part was watching the little guys manhandl...

Do you already know everything you need to know about Muhammad Ali? Sandy feels that way about the Unabomber and OJ, but Amazon Prime's new biopic series The Greatest has him hooked anyway. Will Smith already nailed Ali once. This time it is a series, not one film, and Sandy wants people to remember how politically significant Ali was: he gave up the heavyweight championship for what he believed i...

Did Riley Green take credit for Ella Langley, or did the internet invent a feud? Stephen Presley from ThunderPop TV and Talking to Dead Celebrities joins with the latest. Riley mentioned Ella on The Voice while recruiting a contestant, Ella looked annoyed online, and romance rumors followed. JB thinks it got blown out of proportion. Then P Diddy ran out of baby oil, got beat up by Jamaican drug lo...

When do you stop driving your 17-year-old to the concert? Tricia is spiraling about their daughter and a friend driving from Cedar Park to the Moody Center, parking, and walking in alone for Phoebe Bridgers. Sandy says the last thing those girls want is mommy dropping them off. JB remembers unreliable cars to Frank Erwin Center shows, and everyone agrees parents are more protective of daughters. B...

Can Texas stop Ja'Den Barr and the Florida run game after that Cotton Bowl nightmare? Cameron Parker from AM 1300 The Zone joins JB and Sandy ahead of Florida at DKR. Three weeks ago Florida looked like a contender; then Missouri and South Carolina happened. Texas is coming off what may be the worst loss of the Sarkisian era, stuck in neutral on offense, and still beating itself with turnovers. Pr...

Is the pickleball gold rush already over? In this Story We Love, a major indoor pickleball franchise files for bankruptcy and shuts most of its courts. Austin somehow has 70 to 100 venues. JB never bought a racket. The problem: everybody wants to play after 5 p.m., the country-club model is missing, and big footprints cost too much. Lakeway tennis moms are quietly celebrating, and Sandy suggests t...

Got a free Sunday morning and a cause worth walking for? Sandy and JB still have room on their Livestrong Run for the Roses teams. You can register day of, use code iHeart26 online, or just donate if you cannot walk. Livestrong was born in Austin, is hitting 30 years, and helps from the moment someone hears the word cancer through every step after. Sandy and Tricia lost three friends to cancer in...

Should a kids' book teach a moral, or just make them laugh about poo? JB, Sandy and Tricia decide this is the weekend they finally write Mrs. Runkle Takes a Poo. It all goes back to Omaha stockyards, a north wind, and a neighbor with a hairy mole who was not kind. Sandy wants life lessons about smells. JB wants Scooby-Doo mystery kids on e-bikes sniffing out dead rabbits until they find Mrs. Runkl...

What kind of toy comes in an adult Happy Meal? Longtime friend of the show Brock Purse, cheeseburger connoisseur, drops the latest trends: lettuce is vanishing from burger joints from Austin to Birmingham, smash burgers are giving way to meaty juicy diner burgers, and a new Smash N Saw just opened on 620 behind Barry Creek. Then adult Happy Meals at Hank's, Holiday and Hillsdale Farmacy. Brock wan...

What happens when Godzilla shows up at a Formula 1 race? Stephen Presley from ThunderPop TV is back with Godzilla coming to the ATX. The Haas F1 team is teaming up with the studio behind Godzilla to promote the Godzilla Minus One sequel with a monster-themed car, and Tricia, a huge Godzilla fan, finally has a reason to go to F1. Then a man who pretended to play for the San Francisco 49ers to scam...

How many millimeters are in a centimeter? Are you sure? Catherine from New Braunfels plays JB and Sandy's Minute to Win It for $375, with questions six, seven and eight already in hand. The clock runs through strikeouts, female horses, s'mores, Finding Nemo and the Call of the Wild, but the Kemah boardwalk and the $50 bill trip her up, and one metric question seals it. She sounds so sad afterward...
