JB and Sandy Parenting Fails
What happens when grounding your teenager turns into a weekend of bowling, sleepovers, and full phone privileges? On this episode of The JB and Sandy Show, hosts JB and Sandy  dive into the hilarious and humbling realities of modern parenting, the city’s controversial new logo, and the adventures (and anxieties) of sending your child halfway around the world. The show opens with a fiery discussion about Austin’s new city logo—a design so unpopular that residents signed petitions and even created better alternatives using AI. Despite public outcry, the city rolled out the logo anyway, leaving JB and Sandy to wonder: “Does anyone in power actually listen to the people?” Their witty banter and sharp observations capture the frustration and humor of local politics. But the heart of this episode is all about family. Sandy recounts his attempt to ground his 16-year-old daughter, only to be completely outmaneuvered. What was meant to be a strict punishment quickly devolved into a series of fun activities, as Sandy admits, “I’m going to ground you more often—because I get to do stuff with you!” The hosts reflect on the differences between disciplining sons and daughters, with Sandy joking, “If that was your son, do you think you’d have caved like that? No, I’d have beat him first. Girls, they just know how to do it.” Tricia (the show’s resident disciplinarian and Sandy’s partner) provides her perspective, highlighting the importance of consistency and the challenges of parenting in today’s world. Her no-nonsense approach balances Sandy’s soft spot for their daughter, making for a relatable and entertaining family dynamic.


 The episode also features:
  • JB’s story of helping his daughter prepare for an international trip, only to have his phone “blow up at 3 a.m.” with updates from the airport.
  • Reflections on how technology—from flight tracking to real-time translation AirPods—has changed travel and parenting.
  • Local Austin updates, including Longhorns sports, Texas Stars hockey, and community events.
Notable quotes:
  • “Bowling and a sleepover and full access to her phone—all while grounded.”
  • “I realized I really failed at enforcing the grounding.”
  • “She learned nothing. Got to a sleepover. She got to go trick or treating. She learned nothing.”
The episode wraps with a reminder to cherish family moments, laugh at your parenting missteps, and stay connected with your community.

The Staggering Amount of Money Paid To Tattletales!
“Would you become a tattletale if it meant pocketing nearly a million dollars?” That’s the provocative question at the heart of this episode of The Sandy Show, where hosts Sandy McIlree and Tricia dive into the wild world of high-stakes snitching, viral lottery fever, and the quirky moments that make everyday life unforgettable.

 Cocaine in the Candy Bag? The 95-Year-Old Swiftie Starting a Fan Club & Why Hobos Beat Bums Every Time

Episode Description:What’s scarier than Halloween a week early? Police in Pennsylvania finding cocaine in a kid’s trick-or-treat bag—and someone out there is panicking over their missing Reese’s swap. On today’s Sandy Show, Sandy McIlree and Tricia unpack the wildest Halloween headlines, from New York City’s crown as the #1 trick-or-treat town (thanks to walkability, candy stores, and zero doorman full-size bars) to Jerry Seinfeld’s timeless rant: “Bing bong, come on lady—let’s pick up the pace!” But the heart-stealer? 95-year-old Frank Ures Jr., who launched a 100-member Taylor Swift fan club at his Omaha retirement home—complete with walker license plates, sponsorship rules, and a plea for Taylor to “please come see us.” (Travis Kelce’s permission required for hugs.)

Meanwhile, 13-year-old Kevin Tang just won $25,000 as America’s Top Young Scientist for Fall Guard—an AI camera that auto-calls 911 when grandma falls, no button needed. Inspired by tragedy, built by a middle-schooler.Tricia earns the Gold Star for defining the hobo hierarchy: “A hobo is a traveling bum.” Sandy drops Big Mac origin bombs (started as The Aristocrat—too bougie, renamed twice), and the duo debates why that orange marshmallow peanut is the ultimate Halloween red flag.

Notable Quotes:
  • “Someone’s out there holding a Reese’s instead of their baggie of cocaine.” – Sandy
  • “I’d give Taylor a hug—with Travis Kelce’s permission.” – Frank Ures Jr., 95
  • “Bing bong, come on lady—18 houses on this block alone!” – Jerry Seinfeld

Airport Snacks or Road Trip Sins? The Photo That Proves Sandy Grabbed WHAT at the Rose Bowl?
:Ever wonder why your airport “healthy” haul of beef jerky and granola suddenly morphs into a gas-station sugar apocalypse the second you hit the highway? On today’s Sandy Show, Sandy McIlree and Tricia dive deep into the psychology of travel munchies—complete with Dr Pepper fountains, corn nuts at 60 mph, and the sacred Little Debbie donuts that only appear post-drop-off. But the real bombshell? A 20-year-old Rose Bowl photo surfaces from the 2006 USC-Texas national championship… and Sandy is cupping a stranger’s boob while JB stands clueless behind him. (Yes, Tricia was dating him at the time. Yes, she knew instantly.)From Jennifer Lawrence proudly owning her post-baby boob job (“After the second one, nothing bounced back”) to the paycheck statistic that 35 % vanishes in the first 12 hours, the duo unpacks celebrity honesty, financial panic, and why Biscoff cookies taste better at 30,000 feet.

Plus: trending Halloween costumes through the years—Harambe, VSCO girls, Joe Exotic (still doing 21 years in Fort Worth)—and Sandy’s foolproof last-minute costume: the classic hobo (stick, knapsack, charcoal face).

Notable Quotes:
  • “Corn nuts only cross my lips when I’m going at least 60 miles an hour.” – Tricia
  • “I knew it. You grabbed a girl’s boob.” – Tricia (reacting live to the 2006 photo)
  • “We gotta start calling it the Science Oven.” – Sandy on Jennifer Lawrence’s American Hustle microwave obsession

A Stranger and a VERY Questionable Pose- Sandy's Photo Reveal"
 The Photos That Prove JB & Sandy Witnessed History”

“What’s the greatest college football game of all time—and how do you prove you were there?”
In this nostalgic episode of The JB and Sandy Show, we take you back to January 2006, when the Texas Longhorns stunned USC at the Rose Bowl in what many call the best college football game ever played. JB and Sandy were there, side by side, hugging for the first and only time in show history when Vince Young crossed the goal line. But here’s the twist: for nearly 20 years, they had zero photographic evidence. Until now. Hear the incredible story of how a fraternity brother, a Vegas weekend, and a well-organized digital archive unearthed long-lost photos that prove JB and Sandy were part of history. From the joy of rediscovering these snapshots to the hilarious reactions (“JB looks like a small child!”), this episode is packed with laughs, memories, and one jaw-dropping confession from Sandy about a photo that didn’t make the public cut. Spoiler: it involves a stranger and a very questionable pose.

Memorable Quote:
"It’s like it never happened without a photograph."

Why You’ll Love This Episode:
  • Relive the magic of the 2006 Rose Bowl and Vince Young’s legendary touchdown
  • Hear JB and Sandy’s candid reflections on aging, sobriety, and friendship
