    I Want a Flag That Says "She's My Daughter"

    Episode Description: 🤔 “Is it ever okay for a coach to ask your kid for chicken tenders as a pass to leave early?” That’s just one of the wild questions fueling this episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where parenting, relationships, and the quirks of everyday life take center stage. JB, Sandy, and Tricia dive headfirst into the headlines, starting with Keith Urban’s headline-grabbing age-gap romance. Is dating someone your daughter’s age ever not weird? The crew’s candid reactions (“I want to put a big flag on the boat that says, ‘It’s my daughter!’”) set the tone for a lively, relatable debate. 💬 The conversation shifts to the world of high school sports, where coaches wield surprising power—and sometimes, hilarious requests. When Sandy’s daughter asks to leave a track meet early, her coach’s response is classic: “If your parents bring me a four-piece chicken tender dinner from Cane’s, no slaw, extra sauce and a lemonade.” The team’s laughter and admiration for the coach (“He’s getting it. We’re taking it to him. He is definitely getting it today.”) highlight the playful, human side of school athletics. 🍗 👨‍👩‍👧 Parenting struggles and generational clashes take center stage as JB and Sandy recount their own attempts to coach their daughters—only to be met with eye rolls and resistance. Sandy’s story about wake surfing (“I stopped trying to give her any feedback and she would come up out of the water and she’d go, ‘What do I need to do?’ And I’d say, ‘I don’t know, you’re the pro. I’m not.’”) and Tricia’s “devil horns” moment on the track reveal the universal challenge of guiding teens without losing your cool. The episode’s most jaw-dropping moment? A dad’s poolside discipline that later surfaces in divorce court (“It was probably like three seconds. But he had to explain himself.”). 😳 🎙️ The show wraps with a look at podcast popularity, from “Wienergate scandal at the Olympics” to “Austin is starting to look a bit third world with all of the roadside stuff.” The hosts celebrate their growing audience and encourage listeners to keep the momentum going. Memorable Moments & Quotes: “If your parents bring me a four-piece chicken tender dinner from Cane’s, no slaw, extra sauce and a lemonade.”“I want to put a big flag on the boat that says, ‘It’s my daughter!’”“I stopped trying to give her any feedback and she would come up out of the water and she’d go, ‘What do I need to do?’ And I’d say, ‘I don’t know, you’re the pro. I’m not.’”“She and I had it out on the track last year after she snapped at me about something and I had had enough. It was about attitude. It was not like you started arguing over technique or something. It was all the above. Yeah, was just my mere presence.”“Do us a solid and copy and paste the link to this episode and send it to a friend or two.

The team’s playful banter about drooling over Instagram burgers and family-run restaurants will have your stomach rumbling. 🍦 Finally, the trio tackles the bizarre world of cottage cheese ice cream—“Smear Case.” Is it the next protein-packed craze or just a marketing misfire?

Memorable Moments & Quotes: “You can get your lawnmower blade sharpened while you shop for gluten-free dog treats!”“Is anything good associated with anything that was smeared?
