Listen Later

📖  “What hurts more—being ghosted by a crush or by a friend you thought was solid?” In this emotionally honest and unexpectedly hilarious episode of The JB and Sandy Show, Tricia shares a painfully relatable story of being ghosted… by a friend. After spending eight hours chatting during a design install, she sent a friendly follow-up text—only to be met with silence. Sandy and JB weigh in with theories ranging from “hired help boundaries” to “she thought you were stealing.” From friendship rejection to urban planning, the crew dives into Austin’s growing obsession with roundabouts. Tricia breaks down why they’re more than just pretty landscaping—they’re a strategic move to reduce accidents by 75%. Plus, Sandy reveals the surprising origin of roundabouts (spoiler: it’s not Europe), and shares his personal struggles navigating them in a Texas-sized Tundra. And don’t miss the teaser for an upcoming segment on the “wussification of America”—a topic Sandy’s been tracking for over 15 years, now with a new twist: women are officially fed up. Key Moments:
  • 💔 Tricia gets ghosted by a longtime friend after a heartfelt text
  • 🚗 Austin’s roundabout boom: 47 built, 50 planned by September
  • 🧠 Roundabouts reduce accident risk by 75%—but cost $1.3M each
  • 🇺🇸 The first roundabout wasn’t in Europe—it was in New York City
  • 🛑 Why big trucks and roundabouts don’t mix
  • 🧍‍♂️ Teaser: The “wussification of men” and why women are over it
Memorable Quotes: “Now I feel like I need to keep it super business-like… per our last text.” – Tricia
“We pulled into the roundabout and both counted out loud—one, two, three—like morons.” – JB
