The JB and Sandy Show

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. Tricia misses flipping the box to see if the tape was there and hovering by the return bin, there's a "be kind, rewind" confession from the old HEB video department, and JB explains how 20 Target tubs of CDs became one 1,000-sleeve trunk w...

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.

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.

Is your shower curtain open or closed, and why can't three people in one studio agree?

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.

The verdict is in that you should lea...

What were lederhosen actually for in the first place? In this Story We Love, Tricia has the news that Wurstfest is coming back to New Braunfels for its 65th year of beer drinking, stein holding and pretzel eating. JB has been to the real Oktoberfest in Munich, and he explains why it is on another level: tents that hold 10,000 people, oompah bands with tubas and accordions, and giant sing-alongs to...

Do you ever hear your mom's voice come out of your own mouth? Tricia's first laugh of the day is a parenting classic. She tells her kids "I'm not going to tell you again," and then, as the narrator would say, she tells them again and again and again. That sends JB and Sandy back to childhood: the mom who grabs you by the ear and marches you to the pantry to point out every can of soup and jar of p...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,...
