    "NOT Friendly!" and America's Obsession with Cheese

    Are You ‘Not Friendly’… or Just Done With People? T Have you ever wanted to yell “not friendly!” just to avoid an awkward interaction?  That question sets the tone for a wildly entertaining episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where everyday life gets hilariously dissected—and nothing is off limits. From unexpected dog encounters to viral food obsessions and the quirks of Austin living, this episode is packed with laugh-out-loud moments and relatable truths.  Tricia kicks things off with a story that instantly resonates—borrowing a trick from dog owners by shouting “not friendly!” to keep people at bay. What starts as a funny workaround quickly turns into a bigger conversation about personal boundaries, public behavior, and those little moments that can flip your mood in seconds.  The show dives into a mix of “care or don’t care” topics that spark strong opinions. Ferrari’s attempt to embrace electric vehicles raises eyebrows—“Where’s the noise?”—while a discussion about relationship habits offers blunt, no-nonsense advice. Then comes a surprising confession from across America: people are obsessed with cheese. And honestly, who can blame them?  Listeners also get a dose of Austin culture, as the crew reacts to a local controversy over changes at a beloved movie theater. The debate over nostalgia vs. modernization hits home, highlighting just how passionate people can be about their traditions. As one moment suggests, sometimes progress isn’t always welcome—especially when it interrupts a good experience.  The fun continues with one of the show’s signature games, Minute to Win It, where a contestant proves that even the simplest questions can get intense under pressure. And in a segment that’s become a fan favorite, “Cheeseburger Brock” returns with a mouthwatering recommendation that has everyone debating the ultimate burger experience.  There are also unforgettable side moments—from a uniquely Austin-style dog-naming debate to a surprisingly addictive snack discovery that leads to the bold declaration: “It tastes exactly like a hamburger patty… but it’s a chip.” It’s these offbeat, spontaneous moments that make the show feel like you’re hanging out with friends who always have something unexpected to say.  Whether it’s playful arguments, relatable frustrations, or just pure comedic timing, this episode captures the essence of what makes The JB and Sandy Show so addictive—real conversations, big laughs, and a little chaos along the way.    If you laughed, cringed, or found yourself saying “that’s so me,” don’t miss what’s next—subscribe now, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs a good laugh today.

    A 60 Year Old Bridesmaid! And The New Hooters!

    “When ‘Sweet’ Feels Cringe: Love Languages, Lake Travis Chaos & a Bridesmaid at 60 You Won’t Forget”  What if the sweetest compliment you could give your partner made them want to “turn themselves inside out”?  That’s exactly where this episode of The JB and Sandy Show kicks off—diving headfirst into one of the most hilariously unconventional “love languages” you’ll ever hear. JB, Sandy, and Tricia unpack a relationship dynamic that flips romance on its head… where affection sounds more like discomfort—and somehow, it works.  Then things take a jaw-dropping turn with a real-life story straight out of an action movie (minus the good decisions). A pilot buzzing boats on Lake Travis pushes things too far, leaving everyone asking: when does showing off cross the line into reckless? The fallout is wild—but the unexpected twist? The very people he startled end up rescuing him.  Listeners also weigh in on what makes a relationship healthy—and not everyone agrees that traditional romance is the answer. One caller drops a perspective that might completely shift how you think about long-term love: “You’re not faking it… you’re just being yourselves.”  And just wait until you meet JB’s sister, Chris. She absolutely steals the show with a story that proves life doesn’t slow down at 60—it just gets better. From being a bridesmaid decades later to her unforgettable one-liners, including, “For a fat girl like me, this is the golden ticket of Willy Wonka,” you’ll be laughing the entire way through.  Plus:  A surprising stat about first dates that might make you rethink your next dinner outing  A nostalgic (and slightly awkward) look at restaurant culture making a comeback  And one painfully funny story about a first date meal that went very wrong  👉 Don’t miss a single minute—subscribe to The JB and Sandy Show, leave a review if you loved it, and share this episode with someone who appreciates a little humor mixed with real-life chaos.

    "I Love How The Sunshine Is Lighting Up Your Face" (gag)

    Would You Survive This Marriage… or Run for the Hills?  “If love looks like sarcasm, separate bedrooms, and zero sappy moments… is that still a happy marriage?”  That’s the question that kicks off one of the most hilariously honest episodes of The JB and Sandy Show—and it only gets better from there.  From the very first laugh, JB, Sandy, and Tricia pull you into a morning packed with relatable moments, unexpected confessions, and the kind of humor you don’t hear anywhere else. It starts simple enough: why do we all pretend to do math in our heads while secretly hoping someone else answers first? One standout moment dives into the idea of “kidult playtime”—yes, adults reconnecting with childhood hobbies to relieve stress. While the idea sounds wholesome, the reactions are anything but. “I hated those things when I was a kid—I don’t want to do them now,” becomes an instant classic line, sparking a conversation about what actually helps us unwind.  Then there’s the high-energy Minute to Win It game, where contestant Parker races against the clock to answer “ridiculously easy” questions—and nearly loses it all on the final one. The tension, the simplicity, and the payoff make it one of the most fun segments of the episode.  But the real heart (and comedy gold) comes from Sandy and Tricia’s marriage—a relationship that completely flips the script on what you’d expect. After 18 years together, romance isn’t exactly their thing. They don’t exchange sweet goodnights… they “shoot each other the finger.” They don’t share a bedroom… and they wouldn’t have it any other way.  When Sandy tells Tricia, “You look so beautiful with the sunlight bouncing off your face,” her reaction? “Oh my God, what made you think of that? It just makes me want to turn it inside out.”  It’s brutally honest. It’s wildly funny. And it raises a surprisingly thoughtful question: what does a successful relationship really look like?  The episode wraps with an open call to listeners—are there other couples out there like this? Because if there are, JB and Tricia want to hear from you.    Why You’ll Want to Listen:  Laugh out loud at painfully relatable everyday moments  Hear one of the most unconventional (and entertaining) takes on marriage  Play along with the easiest trivia game that somehow still feels stressful  Get a dose of real, unfiltered morning radio chemistry    Memorable Moments & Quotes:  “If we’re both doing math in our heads, I’m just pretending—it’s all on you.”  “I hated those things when I was a kid. I don’t want to do them now.”  “We did not marry our best friend.”  “It just makes me want to turn it inside out.”  If this episode made you laugh, cringe, or nod in agreement, don’t keep it to yourself—subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs a good laugh today. Your support helps more listeners find the chaos and comedy of JB and Sandy!

    Is JB Going Soft??

    “Are you getting softer in your old age… or just finally letting yourself feel something?”  That question sparks one of the most unexpectedly heartfelt openings we’ve had in a while—and it sets the tone for a rollercoaster episode of The JB and Sandy Show that swings from emotional to hilarious to downright wild.  JB finds himself caught off guard by a moment that hit him hard—and fast. We’re talking fifteen seconds flat. As he shares the story of a powerful locker room speech celebrating a former underdog turned team leader, the emotion is real, raw, and impossible to ignore. It’s one of those moments that reminds you why sports (and life) can sneak up and get you right in the feels. As Sandy puts it, “We keep it on the inside, bro,” but this one? Not so much.  Then, in true JB and Sandy fashion, the mood shifts into something uniquely Austin. The duo dives into one of the city’s quirkiest hidden gems—a tiny, lovingly crafted park tucked into a concrete median. What started as a simple act of beautification has turned into a decade-long symbol of creativity and community. It’s weird, wonderful, and perfectly Austin… complete with a few unexpected twists—including a ghost story that you won’t see coming.  But don’t get too comfortable—because things take a sharp turn into chaos. We’re talking about a growing trend that’s turning heads (and causing headaches): groups of kids tearing through the streets on high-speed electric bikes. What’s the line between fun and danger? And who’s really responsible when things go sideways? The conversation gets real as JB and Sandy break down the risks, the mindset, and the growing concern for parents everywhere.  And just when you think they’ve covered it all, Sandy delivers his signature rapid-fire poetry with “Ode to the Tuesday After Memorial Day”—a painfully relatable, laugh-out-loud reflection on returning to reality after a long weekend. One standout line says it all:  “The inbox has multiplied overnight somehow… with 32 emails all marked urgent now.”  Don’t miss it—hit subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs a laugh (or a reality check after the long weekend).

    15,000 Pounds of Guacamole and You Still Gotta Wear Deodorant!

    “Would You Fail 10 ‘Ridiculously Easy’ Questions… or Walk Away a Winner?”  Fresh off the long weekend, JB, Sandy, and Tricia bring the energy (and the laughs) as they dive headfirst into everything from post–Memorial Day sluggishness to hilariously relatable life observations. Tricia sets the tone early with a brutally honest—and funny—reminder: “Life can be tough, you guys, but you still gotta wear deodorant.” It’s the kind of real talk that immediately pulls you in and sets the stage for an episode full of unexpected moments.  One standout segment? The official kickoff of JB & Sandy’s “98 Days of Summer”, where the team challenges listeners with 10 “ridiculously easy” questions in 60 seconds. Sounds simple… until the pressure is on. Listener Tina steps up to represent San Marcos in a high-stakes trivia moment that delivers both suspense and laughs. JB’s playful warning—“If you fail at this, I’m gonna be really disappointed… in everybody in San Marcos”—raises the stakes and keeps everyone on edge.  The episode also introduces a fan-favorite: Ryan, the pint-sized “small town reporter” with a surprisingly refined palate. His chicken tender review is oddly detailed and absolutely delightful, complete with an “8.2” rating and a confident breakdown of flavor and spice. It’s charming, it’s funny, and it’s the kind of segment you’ll be talking about long after the show ends.  In Care or Don’t Care, the crew tackles a mix of bizarre and heartwarming headlines—including a jaw-dropping 14,991-pound serving of guacamole and the story of a service dog earning a well-deserved “dog-ploma.” It’s a perfect blend of absurdity and feel-good storytelling that keeps the conversation moving at a rapid, entertaining pace.  And just when you think you’ve heard it all, the show pivots into a thought-provoking discussion: what’s the third most commonly spoken language in Texas? The answer? Totally unexpected—and it sparks a conversation that’s both eye-opening and surprisingly insightful.  From laugh-out-loud moments to quirky trivia and heartfelt stories, this episode captures everything that makes The JB and Sandy Show such a must-listen.  Don’t miss out—hit subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs a good laugh today.
