What happens when grounding your teenager turns into a weekend of bowling, sleepovers, and full phone privileges? On this episode of The JB and Sandy Show, hosts JB and Sandy  dive into the hilarious and humbling realities of modern parenting, the city's controversial new logo, and the adventures (and anxieties) of sending your child halfway around the world. The show opens with a fiery discussion about Austin's new city logo—a design so unpopular that residents signed petitions and even created better alternatives using AI. Despite public outcry, the city rolled out the logo anyway, leaving JB and Sandy to wonder: “Does anyone in power actually listen to the people?” Their witty banter and sharp observations capture the frustration and humor of local politics. But the heart of this episode is all about family. Sandy recounts his attempt to ground his 16-year-old daughter, only to be completely outmaneuvered. What was meant to be a strict punishment quickly devolved into a series of fun activities, as Sandy admits, “I'm going to ground you more often—because I get to do stuff with you!” The hosts reflect on the differences between disciplining sons and daughters, with Sandy joking, “If that was your son, do you think you'd have caved like that? No, I'd have beat him first. Girls, they just know how to do it.” Tricia (the show's resident disciplinarian and Sandy's partner) provides her perspective, highlighting the importance of consistency and the challenges of parenting in today's world. Her no-nonsense approach balances Sandy's soft spot for their daughter, making for a relatable and entertaining family dynamic. The episode also features:JB's story of helping his daughter prepare for an international trip, only to have his phone “blow up at 3 a.m.” with updates from the airport.Reflections on how technology—from flight tracking to real-time translation AirPods—has changed travel and parenting.Local Austin updates, including Longhorns sports, Texas Stars hockey, and community events.Notable quotes:“Bowling and a sleepover and full access to her phone—all while grounded.”“I realized I really failed at enforcing the grounding.”“She learned nothing. Got to a sleepover. She got to go trick or treating. She learned nothing.”The episode wraps with a reminder to cherish family moments, laugh at your parenting missteps, and stay connected with your community.Call-to-Action Enjoyed the episode?
