🎙️ “What would make someone say, ‘I’d leave my husband for that man in a heartbeat’—and mean it?”

That’s just one of the many laugh-out-loud moments in this episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where Sandy and Tricia dive into everything from unexpected airport confessions to the bittersweet farewell of a beloved Austin institution.
 
🎧 In This Episode:

🎸 Sandy’s Secret Talent:
Move over, Instagram influencers—Sandy’s string art is back, complete with dramatic flair and Mickey Mouse-sized hands. From Jacob’s Ladder to cat whiskers, it’s a performance you didn’t know you needed.

🎤 Indie Music Discovery:
The guys spotlight Nashville’s Sons of Legion and their stripped-down cover of Phil Collins’ “In the Air Tonight.” It’s raw, emotional, and a reminder of how powerful simplicity can be.

🎶 Live Aid & Legendary Drummers:
A nostalgic look at the iconic Live Aid concert and Phil Collins’ unforgettable drum session, as featured in CNN’s new docuseries. If you’re a music lover, this one’s for you.

🏙️ Farewell to Straight Music:
After 60 years in Austin, Straight Music Company’s South Lamar location is closing. Tricia shares her personal connection to the store, and the crew reflects on the changing face of Austin—luxury condos and all.

🔥 Tricia’s Bomb Squad Confession:
In a moment that nearly derails dinner plans, Tricia confesses to Sandy that she met the man she’d leave him for… and she has the photo to prove it. Spoiler: he’s a tattooed, muscle-bound member of the Austin Police Bomb Squad. Sandy’s reaction? Priceless. 💬 Notable Quotes:
  • “If he had turned around and said, ‘Do you want to?’ I would’ve laid down right there in the Mexican food restaurant.”
  • “You just made me look like a total twerp.”
  • “I’m incapable of providing you comfort, so I’m going to move on down the road.”
👉 Don’t miss this episode—it’s hilarious, heartfelt, and as Austin as it gets. Subscribe to The JB and Sandy Show on the iHeartRadio app, leave a review, and share it with someone who loves music, memories, and a good bomb squad love story.
