The JB and Sandy Show

What really happened at the 1974 ZZ Top concert at DKR? Catch the whole JB and Sandy Show from Friday in one place. Tricia earns an Olive Garden reward, the crew ranks the best Halloween candy in Care Don't Care, and we remember Sir Patrick Stewart, from his wig trick to his rescue dogs. Tricia has a Story We Love about the Army pilot offering a reward for his lost Stetson, and JB tells how ZZ Top...

Who cut a giant Texas out of the AstroTurf at a ZZ Top concert, and where is it hanging today? Tricia wraps up Friday with the things we learned. Live concerts are finally coming back to DKR Memorial Stadium, decades after the 1974 ZZ Top show where fans set a mattress on fire and walked off with a piece of the field. JB remembers the lineup, and the crew guesses which Hill Country ranch is hiding...

It seems like nobody ever gets caught when somebody gets scammed, so Sandy was encouraged to see the FBI track down a scammer who took a victim for $60,000 in Pennsylvania. A friend with the Austin Police Department shared a staggering number: in one sector of town alone, there are around 10,000 open scam cases. Scammers often go after older people who are simply trying to be kind and helpful. San...

JB is usually diligent, but this time he is down to the wire and has to get his truck inspected or he is breaking the law. His registration reminder is sitting on his desk, and he is up against the end of the month with every other procrastinator in Central Texas. Sandy took care of his before he left for Nebraska at a sticker stop, where they do the emissions test and hand you your registration s...

Why does a message pop up on your phone for one second and then vanish forever? It is a little early for Festivus, but Sandy has a grievance to air. While he is in Nebraska with his dad, listeners have been sending kind, encouraging messages on Facebook and Instagram. The problem is finding them. Between his personal accounts, the radio station account and the JB and Sandy account, every note turn...

Today's toddler ravers are tomorrow's festival goers, so you have to start them young. In this Story We Love, the crew learns about a toddler rave headed to Stubb's Bar-B-Q in Austin's Red River District. Australian DJ Lenny Pearce toured the United States and sold out every date with his electronic remixes of children's songs. His first viral hit was a techno version of Head, Shoulders, Knees and...

What do you tell college kids who want a career in media when your honest answer is that you dated your way in? A group of about 25 students from St. Edward's University toured the station and sat down with a panel that included JB and Tricia. Sandy hears all about it from Omaha. Instead of staring at their laptops, the students were dressed for the occasion, fully engaged, and asked so many quest...

How do you sneak an entire mattress into a football stadium? Noah Kahan is bringing a concert to Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium, and that is a big deal because the place has not hosted a show since the Eagles played there in 1996. The show's historian explains why. Back in 1974, ZZ Top, Santana, Joe Cocker and Bad Company played a 90 degree day with $8 tickets. The food and drinks ran out,...

Remember the cavalry Stetson that flew out of a helicopter during the flyover before Texas played Florida? There is an update, and now there is a reward. Tricia has the latest on Chief Warrant Officer 5 Josh Muhlendorf, who wore that hat for his entire 22 year military career. His co-pilot had to break the news after they landed that the Stetson was gone, probably somewhere around the Triangle, No...

Did you know Patrick Stewart used to show up to auditions in a wig, then pull it off and offer the casting director two actors for the price of one? After a quick word on the Packers' late win and Al Michaels calling a miserable game, Sandy pays tribute to Sir Patrick Stewart, who passed away at 86. Star Trek fans will remember Captain Picard, and the crew notes that he was outlived by William Sha...

Do you care or don't care which Halloween candy is the greatest of all time? Tricia brings three topics to the table. First, what happened to the wedding decor tied to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Then the ranked list of the best Halloween candies, from Snickers and M&Ms to Butterfinger and Sour Patch Kids, with a number one pick that the whole studio agrees on. Sandy makes his case for the...

What counts as extreme at this age? A pumpkin cheesecake at 2:30 in the afternoon, apparently. Sandy checks in from Nebraska and asks Tricia for the highlight of her day. She took their daughter for a checkup blood draw, and for once nobody had to chase her around the exam room. The reward was lunch at Olive Garden to visit her best friend Jules, a hostess there. Soup, salad, breadsticks, toasted...

Tricia wraps up Thursday's show with everything we learned this morning. JB admits early voters make him feel judged because he still has not cast his ballot, and the crew decides he needs an "I Haven't Voted Yet" sticker so everyone will leave him alone. Then we tell you about spotting what looked like electioneering within 100 feet of a polling place door and calling Cam at election headquarters...

Catch the whole JB and Sandy Show from Wednesday in one place. What happens when you close your eyes for one second in a Walmart parking lot? Sandy opens the show from his childhood bedroom in Omaha, thanks everyone for the kind words about his dad, and tells the story of wrecking a Tahoe full of deer meat. Tricia has a Story We Love about wildlife crossings and the night she hit a deer, plus the...

Can a tiny drive through coffee shop turn a guy into a coffee person? Broadcasting from Omaha, Sandy admits he never had a favorite coffee until he found Scooter's. That gets the crew remembering their favorite little local spots, from old Shortstop burger shacks to the P. Terry's at Barton Springs and Lamar. Then Tricia has big news for Sandy: a Scooter's is coming to Cedar Park, right next to a...

Have you ever tried to sell something on Facebook Marketplace and lost a little faith in humanity? JB has. He listed two bikes for a ridiculously low price, clearly marked price is firm, and still got buried in lowball offers, people asking if they could buy just one, and a dozen messages that only say is this available. Out of about fifty responses, one buyer actually followed the instructions. S...

Would you ride in a giant drone to beat Austin traffic? Tricia brings a Story We Love about Archer Aviation, which announced at Circuit of the Americas that it plans air taxi networks in Austin, Houston and Dallas. These vertical takeoff aircraft look like huge drones with a pod underneath, carry four passengers plus a pilot, and recharge in about ten minutes. The first route would connect Austin...

Have you looked closely at what hospital workers wear lately? Sandy has, because he has spent the week at a teaching hospital in Omaha with his dad, and he has notes. Scrubs have gotten a Lululemon style makeover with tapered ankles, every single worker seems to be wearing Hokas, the nurses all look like they played college sports, and one doctor looks young enough to be Doogie Howser. Then there...

What happens when Instagram finally finds the one ad JB cannot resist? It is time for another JB Instagot Me. JB has been waiting a long time for Knuckle Bump Farms to start selling merch, and now he owns the hat honoring Emmanuel the Emu, the internet famous bird with a whole lot of attitude. With Sandy in Omaha and JB and Tricia in Austin, the crew is in different cities, so the big hat reveal h...

Just in time for Halloween, Tricia has a Story We Love about Airbnb rounding up its list of the top 31 spooky stays, and one of them is right down the road in Seguin. The Haunted Magnolia Hotel, also called the Magnolia Hotel Bed and Breakfast, is said to be home to around 13 spirits, and people actually book it hoping to meet them. JB and Sandy weigh whether they would ever spend the night, what...

Normally this is when JB and Sandy would give you the answer to question number six in Minute to Win It, but the game is on pause today while Sandy is home in Omaha. Sandy shares an update on his dad moving to hospice and thanks everybody for the kind messages. Being back in his childhood room gets everyone remembering the places they grew up. Tricia talks about her grandparents' ranch near Creedm...

Election day is coming up, early voting is underway around Austin, and JB has noticed something: the people who already voted cannot stop talking about it. If you have not early voted yet, you can feel the looks. JB, Sandy and Tricia talk about the social pressure of the little voting sticker, the friends who post it on social media the second they leave the polls, and the people who look down the...

Stick with Sandy here, because this story involves football, deer hunting, a Walmart and a wrecked Chevy Tahoe. Back in 1999 Sandy had picked up a load of processed deer meat from Hudson's and was watching a big championship football game. When Florida State scored yet again, he decided he had seen enough, left, and ended up in a South Austin Walmart parking lot where one moment of closing his eye...

Tricia brings a Story We Love with two things guaranteed to drive Sandy crazy. Daylight saving time ends this weekend, which means darker evening drives right as deer and other wildlife are on the move, and Texas officials are asking drivers to watch out. Along the way there is a name people keep pronouncing wrong, and a look at the wildlife crossings and overpasses being built so animals can get...

Sandy opens the show from his childhood bedroom in Omaha, Nebraska while his dad is in the hospital, and JB and Tricia hold things down in Austin. Sandy thanks everyone who has reached out with kind words and prayers, and talks about what it feels like to be back in the room he grew up in, doing the show from a laptop and a microphone. Then Tricia almost forgets the First Laugh of the day, and it...
