The Thing Texas Does Better Than Anyone In The World

Episode Description:
“What does Texas do better than anywhere else in the world?” That’s the question that sparks a lively debate on this episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where JB, Sandy, and Tricia dive into the heart of Lone Star pride, pop culture nostalgia, and the quirks that make their show a must-listen.
The crew kicks things off with a challenge: guess what an English traveler claims Texas does best. The answer? Shiner Bock beer—hailed as “the best beer in the world” by someone who’s tasted brews in 50 countries! The team shares hilarious memories of cheap Shiner Bock, musicians making it cool, and Sandy’s confession: “In my beer drinking days, it made me fart a lot.” 🍺
Tricia’s beer preferences get a shoutout (“Tricia’s all in on a Heineken, or a Stella, a Peroni, a Modelo…”) and the group explores how drinking culture is changing, with Vegas hotel occupancy down and non-alcoholic breweries on the rise. JB muses, “This generation doesn’t want to go to Vegas and drink until they puke,” while Sandy marvels at the success of Athletic Brewing.
The episode then shifts to heartfelt farewells for TV legends, including Grady Damond Wilson from Sanford and Son and Catherine O’Hara, whose improv genius and iconic roles in Schitt’s Creek and Home Alone are celebrated. The hosts reminisce about classic sitcom moments, Red Fox’s comedic legacy, and the magic of shows that make you want to binge-watch all over again. 📺
Tricia recommends “The Beast in Me,” sparking a discussion about Claire Danes’ emotional acting and the allure of Oyster Bay, Long Island. The team’s honest takes on Ted Lasso and Schitt’s Creek reveal why some shows stick—and why others don’t.
