The JB and Sandy Show

What happens when festival mud is not just mud? Story We Love: ACL Fest is staring down rain again, and Tricia reminds everyone about 2009, when Zilker turned into a giant mud puddle of treated municipal sludge known as Dillo Dirt. People rolled in it, then panicked about ringworm. Sandy and JB debate French drains, lightning delays, and the year Asleep at the Wheel finally lost their opening stre...

Would you rather your murder go unsolved than let a forensic tech dig through your phone? Tricia's First Laugh lands on that exact nightmare, and Sandy, JB, and Tricia spiral into phone-photo etiquette, moms who swipe past the one picture you meant to show, water-bird baby memes, and Tricia's suspiciously clean inbox. JB threatens to flash his unread email count. She does not want to know. If you...

What is the most you have ever paid for one night of entertainment? Book of Records starts with a real-life ticket negotiation at home: a teenager stuck in the nosebleeds, two $315 tickets, and some painful dad math. Then the phones light up. Renee in Lockhart paid a thousand dollars a seat to sit in row 14 for Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield. Angie spent $695 on eBay for third-row Backstreet Boy...

Would a skinny crown make you look thinner, or is that just the vibe talking? The complete podcast-clean edition of The JB and Sandy Show for October 1, 2026. Sandy, JB, and Tricia cover First Laugh rhombus shapes and Bam Bam, Story We Love UT Tower windows and scaffolding, Care Don't Care Rockefeller Christmas trees plus Doodlepalooza and Fat Bear Week, Story We Love Capitol threat arrest, Colin...

Have you ever actually met someone who works inside the Tesla factory? After years in Austin without a single Tesla plant friend, the show finally gets Tammy on the phone. She walks through parking-lot commutes, short breaks, microwave math, and whether the place treats people like the futuristic brand promises. The hosts cannot believe the dry spell finally broke. If you love The JB and Sandy Sho...

Would a skinny crown make you look thinner, or is that just the vibe talking? Tricia wraps Thursday with Things We Learned: Texas DPS and the FBI shutting down a credible threat against the Texas Capitol before it could happen, her new crown getting the official skinny crown seal of approval from JB and Sandy, and the Irish dentist bit that somehow ends with English dental health taking a beating....

Want to walk with the Sandy Stampede? Elise from Livestrong emails that JB's Bat Pack is up to 22, and Sandy is recruiting quality over quantity for the Run for the Roses at Auditorium Shores. Sign up at 981kvet.com slash JB or slash Sandy, write a name on your shirt, and show up October 18. JB still remembers the hundred-mile ride that nearly killed him. If you love The JB and Sandy Show, subscri...

Do Heisman odds actually matter in October? Story We Love: Arch Manning's Heisman price has drifted the wrong way through the first quarter of the schedule, Vince Young snubs become fuel, and Arch showing up at a Lake Travis middle school game looks like the real deal. Then the State Fair gives squeaky wheels a two-dollar break on everything. Have fun at the fair and say hi to Big Tex. If you love...

Which reaction video gets you every time? The table digs into people hearing classic songs for the first time, kids discovering Hank-era bangers years late, and the softest content on the internet: tiny babies getting glasses with the little headband strap. A hip-hop guy discovering Born to Boogie seals it, even when some reactors are clearly performing. If you love The JB and Sandy Show, subscrib...

What is the longest you would stand in line for a lunch special? Perry's Steakhouse is marking 1979 with a 79-cent pork chop and caramelized prime rib sandwich promo, cards starting at 10:30 for the first 200 people. Sandy and JB act out the marriage negotiation, refuse the Franklin's barbecue line on principle, and wonder if the lunch-cut chop is the Flintstone slab or something smaller. Lawn cha...

What is the coldest thing your dad has ever said without missing a beat? Sandy sets up an 86-year-old dad zinger about Landry being a much better 17-year-old than he ever was, then Tricia detours into her new dental crown and the magic mirrors that make you look skinnier at home. After the break, the punchline lands: without missing a beat, dad says that is not saying much. The table spirals into...

Would you celebrate a sack the way Colin Simmons did? Longhorn football is off this week, but the table is not done talking about Colin Simmons: five sacks, a vulgar celebration that stole the headlines, and Coach Mack Brown weighing in on Stampede. Sandy was at the Maxwell Awards with Colin and his tough mom and aunt, so the real punishment may not come from the coaching staff. JB argues hockey-c...

How fast can DPS and the FBI shut down a credible threat? Story We Love: Texas DPS and the FBI tracked a plan to attack the Texas Capitol and arrested Benny Caldera Jr. in Converse overnight. Sandy and Tricia talk metal detectors versus the old free-for-all campus days, why saying the wrong thing on a plane gets you checked, and why credible threats get high alert. Congratulations to the teams who...

Do you care that Rockefeller Center already dropped its Christmas tree timeline? Care Don't Care: the hosts hard-pass early Christmas tree chatter, then lean into Guinness giving a Vegas water park the record for most doodle dogs in one place (296). Dog-poop ethics and Great Dane logistics take over, before Fat Bear Week crowns Backpack, a 20-year-old who doubled from 600 to 1200 pounds. Someone n...

How many windows does the UT Tower actually have? Story We Love: the $77 million Our Tower project has restored 439 windows, cleaned tens of thousands of square feet of granite and limestone, re-gilded alphabet letters, and stacked three miles of scaffolding that two guys put up. Sandy and JB spiral into tower tours, campus bells, Hyde Park churches, and the Austin taboo nobody brings up. That's t...

When was the last time you thought about a rhombus? After Sandy tries to make Tricia kick off the show and she refuses to deviate from the usual open, Tricia's First Laugh lands on elementary school geometry. A rhombus vanished from her brain after third grade, JB votes for microfiche at the library, and Sandy confesses he used to pound the moon-shaped block into the wrong hole like Bam Bam. Off t...

Could your mom's salsa recipe actually make it onto grocery shelves? Story We Love: Austin's Tony Nunez turned his mother's salsa into Fantastic Fuego, won the Houston Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival, skipped the food-truck phase, and now sells in 45 states including Central Market. Sandy and JB spiral into their own failed canning dream with Tricia's legendary fresh salsa, Heimy's short shelf life,...
