The JB and Sandy Show

Would you buy a four-pack of Shirley Temples at Target, or wait for the cherries at the bar? Sandy does something uncharacteristic while JB empties his bag of lineage liver-and-heart meat sticks, liquid ketones, and protein bars. She thought Bloom Shirley Temples were $3.99, hit self-checkout at seven bucks, and still bought two packs. The table debates whether canned Shirley Temples make the bar...

Why does a fourth-and-goal stop sound twice as exciting when you do not speak the language? JB admits he freezes on live radio math, then pivots to Longhorns football and plays Craig Way's final call before stumbling into the Spanish broadcast. He has no idea what the announcers are saying, only that it is more energetic, and he plans to steal a Spanish 'nunca' around the house whenever he does no...

Have you ever met anyone who actually worked inside Tesla in Austin? Caller Felix checks in from a City of Austin truck on the Slaughter Lane extension to 183, then explains why he talked his wife into quitting Tesla: sections with no AC, fans only, no sitting, twelve-hour days and thirty-minute lunches. He also claims Kelly Slater's Cedar Park-style wave pool as one of his side projects and decla...

Remember when a millionaire in Austin felt like a big deal? Story We Love: Forbes says Texas has 43 billionaires and Austin alone has eight, led by Elon Musk at about $908 billion after dipping under a trillion. Sandy never spots him at HEB or on Lake Austin despite years of looking near Luke Nosek's place, which means security is doing its job. Michael Dell and the Tito's guy whose last name is l...

Can Ella Langley knock Mariah Carey off the consecutive-weeks throne before Christmas songs return? Tricia the Ella tracker says she is tied at week 22 on the Hot 100 for most consecutive weeks at number one, and the table argues she deserves her own non-holiday category. Then the show flips to asking listeners to walk the Livestrong Run for the Roses on October 18 at Auditorium Shores. JB's backp...

If you are a UT cheerleader practicing every day, how do you feel when the Carrot Kid owns the Jumbotron? Sandy and JB break down Big Red, the red-headed Longhorn fan who rips his shirt Hulk Hogan style, landed a billboard on 183, and somehow appears in a McConaughey and Harrelson trailer. JB was at the Ohio State game and swears the kid was on the board fifty times while cheerleaders never get th...

What song would get Thomas Rhett pelted with rocks if he skipped it at the Moody Center? Sandy and JB roll the interview from last week: five kids who still want the zoo at six a.m., a nine-year-old Rhett on drums with dad Rhett Akins at the Nebraska State Fair, and Thomas on Dolly Parton as an angel on Earth whose memory will outlive all of us. Tricia asks the rocks question, and he lands on Die...

Can you cash two hundred fifty on a castle question before Minute to Win It even starts? Christine from Southwest Austin nails The Traders New Blood bonus when the traders meet in the tower, then takes on Minute to Win It for four twenty-five. Sunrise, triangles, Sacramento, and Dolly Parton go fine until GPS becomes Department of Public Safety. She still walks with two fifty, and the pot grows fo...

Forget F1 for a second. Would you buy a forty-five-dollar ticket to watch professional sumo in Cedar Park? JB and Sandy's Story We Love lands on the Sumo Championship League debuting in Austin as family-friendly combat, complete with Yokozuna talk, rice-throwing ceremony, and a Bastrop County wrestler who trains at Dark Circle in South Austin. Sandy jokes about wrestling a bear again. Opening nigh...

Would you cast Robert De Niro as Tommy Lasorda, or check the manhole for mole people first? Care Don't Care covers De Niro in talks to play the legendary Dodgers manager, New York sewer dwellers that sound like Sleestaks, Creature from the Black Lagoon pool signs, and Sandy's buddy who married a Ninja Turtle on a mall tour. Tricia closes with Ella Langley tying Mariah Carey's 22 weeks at number on...

Would you rather evacuate a plane down an inflatable slide, or trust a male penguin with an egg? Tricia's first laugh lands on airplane escape slides as an amusement-park dream, then the table roasts March of the Penguins and the dad who dropped the egg, froze it, and tried to steal a replacement. Later Sandy cheers a ten-million-dollar Cedar Park wave pool at Veterans Memorial, tells Kelly Slater...
