Episode Description: “When did you realize your parents were just making stuff up?” That’s the hilarious, thought-provoking question that kicks off this episode of The JB and Sandy Show, setting the tone for a wild ride through nostalgia, pop culture, and the unpredictable world of parenting. 🤔

✨ JB, Sandy, and Tricia are joined by their long-lost friend Steven Presley from Thunder Pop TV, and the reunion sparks a cascade of laughter, memories, and sharp insights. From reminiscing about the “young comedians” segment—where third graders turn savage—to the universal trauma of middle school, the crew keeps it real and relatable.
Key moments and themes include:

• Parenting Hacks & Childhood Myths: The hosts swap stories about the little white lies parents tell—like “talking scares the fish” or “the ice cream truck plays music when it’s out of ice cream.” Tricia’s no-nonsense approach? “You’ve used up all your words.” 😂
• Festival Fever: Tricia brings the scoop on Austin’s hottest music events, including the return of Coca-Cola’s Sips and Sounds Music Festival and the I Heart Country Festival, featuring headliners like Christina Aguilera, Calvin Harris, and Brooks & Dunn. The excitement is palpable as the team discusses the city’s vibrant festival scene. 🎶🎤
• Hollywood Unfiltered: Steven Presley reveals what blew up his inbox—Sydney Sweeney’s blockbuster movie moment—and dives into the world of celebrity, body doubles, and the curious case of the “most sequeled movie year ever” coming in 2026. Get ready for The Devil Wears Prada 2, Practical Magic 2, Jumanji 4, and a new Social Network sequel. “That’s quite a few—more than two sequels a month!” 📽️🍿
• Late Night TV Reinvented: The group explores how Byron Allen is shaking up late night with a comedian roundtable that avoids politics and brings back the fun, reminiscent of the Johnny Carson era. “If someone could figure out how to rekindle that, I think they’d be on to something,” JB muses.
• Celebrity Surprises: Tricia shares how seeing Gwyneth Paltrow on a podcast changed her perspective: “She was not like that at all… actually pretty cool and laid back and funny.” Sometimes, the real story is what’s behind the persona. 🌟

Notable quotes and moments:

• “My dad thinks you’re a douche bag.” (Third graders, unfiltered!)
• “You literally get to make it whatever you want it to be while you’re doing the class.” (Tricia, on yoga and life)
• “Why don’t we have a category for body doubles at the Oscars?” (Sandy, always asking the big questions)
