Episode Description:
“What would you do if you looked out your window and saw a kangaroo hopping down Main Street?” That’s just one of the wild questions that kicks off this episode of The JB and Sandy Show—a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud ride through the quirks and surprises of Texas life.
JB, Sandy, and Tricia dive into the buzz around the legendary Katz’s Deli making its long-awaited return to Austin. Will the iconic yellow Cadillac be back on the roof? Will the JB and Sandy fried bologna sandwich make a comeback? The crew shares hilarious stories from the deli’s heyday, including the time Sandy called out the wall of “autographs” for being suspiciously similar—“They all look like they have the same signature written with the same pen!”—and how the sandwich named after them became a local legend. 🥪
But the episode doesn’t stop at nostalgia. The team tackles the bizarre reality of Texas pet laws, revealing that kangaroos are legal pets in the Lone Star State—and one is currently on the loose! The conversation spirals into the dangers (and oddities) of owning a kangaroo, with Sandy quipping, “You’re going to shell out about five grand on an animal that can disembowel you!” The group debates the pros and cons of exotic pets, the weirdest animals for sale in Texas, and why a kangaroo pouch is both fascinating and a little gross. 🦘
Other memorable moments include:

• The mystery of the missing kangaroo and the Texas deputies who wrangled it.
• Tricia’s take on why Texas women are the most beautiful in the world.
• The nostalgia of late-night Austin, from Katz’s Deli to the matzah ball at Lucky Lounge.
• JB’s confession: “I used to always wonder if Katz’s Deli was really good or I was just really drunk.”

Themes explored:

• The wild and wonderful side of Texas culture
• The power of local legends and community nostalgia
• The unexpected challenges of owning exotic pets
• Why some stories are just too good to be true (or fake autographs on the wall!)
