The JB and Sandy Show

Have you ever called a clown and gotten a voicemail that said I'm out clowning around? Halloween is coming and Amazon's Jabber and Jack sings through a Zoom call, which sends the table straight into Austin's old clown scene: Puddles, Limpy, Balloon Attack, and Doodlebug leaving Pecan Grove fully clowned up in a Camry. JB almost wrecks behind a clown van and the voicemail is perfect. If you love Th...

Has your dog ever chosen the street over the grass on purpose? JB's foster-turned-forever Boston mix Marty was a backyard puppy-mill stray who still poops on concrete, skips the poop polka, and forces the poopy-bag walk of shame in front of the neighbors.
