“Tallest Building in Texas, Parking Lot Chaos & Sandy Rides the Lone Train”

 In this skyscraper-sized episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew covers everything from Austin’s newest architectural milestone to a woman who parked her minivan in the middle of a four-way stop to read a book. Yes, really. Austin now boasts the tallest building in Texas—the Waterline—standing at 74 stories and over 1,000 feet tall. The team debates the pros and cons of high-rise living, from elevator logistics to pet ownership and forgotten essentials. Tricia shares her daughter’s take on apartment life: too much small talk, not enough solitude. Then, chaos erupts at a local high school parking lot when a woman parks dead center in an intersection and casually reads a book while hundreds of cars awkwardly maneuver around her. Tricia gives a play-by-play of the madness, complete with photos and disbelief. Sandy wraps things up with his plan to ride Austin’s underused light rail from Leander to downtown—alone. The team jokes about steam trains, bachelorette parties, and the taxpayer-funded ghost ride.
