You Won’t Believe Who Pulled Up Beside the Beatles Tour Bus—Plus the Listener Everyone Fell in Love With 

What would you do if you looked out your window and saw Paul McCartney waving at you—and then realized he was talking to Ringo Starr? 

This episode of The JB and Sandy Show is packed with unforgettable stories, Austin history, and one of the most entertaining listener calls we've heard in a long time. 

JB and Sandy dive into the exciting news that Austin resident Woody Harrelson is producing a documentary about the legendary Armadillo World Headquarters, the iconic venue that helped shape Austin’s music identity. From Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings to Bruce Springsteen, Van Halen, and AC/DC’s first U.S. performance, the conversation explores the venue’s incredible impact and why its legacy still resonates today. 

Then, Tricia shares a jaw-dropping story about Beatles superfans touring Liverpool when their bus unexpectedly pulled up next to Paul McCartney himself. As if that weren’t enough, Sir Paul revealed he was on the phone with Ringo Starr, creating a once-in-a-lifetime moment for everyone onboard. 

The fun keeps rolling as JB recalls his own surreal celebrity encounter involving wrestling legends Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan, leading to a hilarious discussion about those bizarre moments where reality feels stranger than fiction. 

The crew also searches for Austin’s biggest collectors during another edition of the Amazing Book of Records, featuring everything from vintage porcelain signs and rare comic books to meaningful sticker collections. One listener reveals a collection valued at well over six figures, while another shares a comic collection with a single issue worth thousands. 

But the standout moment of the morning belongs to a new listener from New Orleans named Dixie, whose larger-than-life personality instantly won over the entire show. Her unforgettable stories, colorful commentary, and signature “my baby” greetings created one of the most memorable calls in JB and Sandy history.
