Episode Description:
What would you do if you had the chance to witness a protest firsthand—would you go just to see what really happens? 🤔 That’s the provocative question that launches this episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where curiosity, local culture, and candid conversation collide.
Dive into the episode as Sandy, JB, and Tricia debate the irresistible allure of Buc-ee’s, the Texas convenience store that’s gone global thanks to a viral photo featuring Prince Louis and a Bucky Beaver plush dressed as Santa. “Buc-ee’s has gone international. They’re known all over the globe because of a pretty simple, just a quick photograph that was taken, right?” Sandy marvels, while the crew shares their must-buy Buc-ee’s favorites—from chopped beef sandwiches to Beaver Nuggets and the infamous bucket hat. 🦫
The hosts swap hilarious stories about Buc-ee’s merchandise obsessions, with Tricia confessing, “My daughter has every type of swimwear from Buc-ee’s… She has not one, but three full-on Bucky beaver suits!” The conversation is packed with laughter and nostalgia, as they reminisce about road trips, kolaches, and the ever-expanding reach of Buc-ee’s outside Texas.
But the episode isn’t just about snacks and souvenirs. The team tackles the surprising news that Austin’s crime rates are dropping, despite the headlines. “In 2024, there were 60 murders in Austin, and in 2025, there were only 55. That murder rate is coming down. The property thefts are coming down. That’s good. Across the board, all of the violence and crimes are dropping,” Sandy reports, challenging listeners to rethink their perceptions of safety in the city. 🏙️
Curiosity takes center stage as Sandy admits an “incredible urge” to attend a protest—not to participate, but just to observe. “I just want to see it with my own eyes because I think a lot of times we see what the news wants us to see. So I want to go see it with my own eyeballs and just see what’s going on and just be an observer.” The hosts discuss the reality of peaceful protests in Austin, the occasional skirmish, and the different ways people choose to support causes.

Episode Description:
"How is it possible to live in Austin for decades and still discover something new about your own city?" 🤔 That’s the question that kicks off this lively episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where Sandy, JB, and Tricia dive into the quirky, surprising, and nostalgic corners of Austin life.
This episode is packed with revelations—starting with the existence of wild green parrots (or are they parakeets?) flocking through Austin’s neighborhoods. JB shares, “You tend to see them in north central Austin… flocks of them, bright green and yellow, just hanging out in the trees.” The crew debates whether they’re parrots or parakeets, and marvel at how these birds have become local celebrities—complete with their own Facebook page! 🦜
The conversation soars into the world of birdwatching, with hilarious confessions about how quickly “normal” life can turn into an obsession with binoculars and bird apps. “It’s like Shazam for birds!” Sandy jokes, as they recount stories of friends and family waking up early just to spot the latest feathered visitor.
But it’s not all about birds—nostalgia takes center stage as the hosts reminisce about legendary Austin bars, the bittersweet closing of the Vince Young Steakhouse, and the ever-changing local food scene. Tricia delivers the news: “After being open for 15 years and serving amazing food, the owners of the Vince Young Steakhouse announced that they will be closing their restaurant on January 24th.” The team shares memories of favorite steakhouses, from glazed carrots at Bob’s Steak and Chop House to the subtle charm of Austin Land and Cattle. 🥩 Get ready to laugh as the group recalls childhood toys that never lived up to the hype—Shrinky Dinks, Slinkys, Stretch Armstrong, and the infamous Easy-Bake Oven. “The Slinky never went down the stairs in real life like it did on TV. Maybe two steps at the most,” Sandy laments, while JB confesses to breaking Stretch Armstrong in under an hour: “He had purple jelly on the inside. My mom said don’t eat that!” 😂
From the Austin Public Library’s “Crafternoon” (featuring Shrinky Dinks!) to the thrill of Texas Stars hockey, this episode is a whirlwind tour of local culture, nostalgia, and the everyday surprises that make Austin unique.
