Cue Tricia's frustration over her own shelved invention, the “milk bottle game.” The show also features a rapid-fire Q&A with Tricia, covering hidden snacks, junk drawers, and why girls talk about poop more than guys. Plus, it's officially “naked season,” and the team explores the odd trend of people shedding clothes in public—including a man in Italy who rode a motorcycle completely nude (except for his helmet).Key Moments:

 What if your marriage license came with an expiration date?In this hilarious and thought-provoking episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew dives into everything from high-end cowboy boots to unconventional marriage advice. It's a wild ride through Austin culture, relationship real talk, and the quirks that make Texas, well… Texas. The show kicks off with the Boot Wars heating up on South Congress. Lucchese drops a bombshell with their new University of Texas Longhorn boots, complete with ostrich leather and burnt orange flair—leaving Tacovas and their Chili's collab looking a little “chumpy.” Trisha breaks down the styles, prices, and why these boots are about to take over DKR Stadium. Then it's all about showing off Austin to out-of-town radio hosts during a national conference. From Terry Black's BBQ to Waymo self-driving Ubers, and even a guy who didn't know what a tamale was, the team shares laugh-out-loud stories of culture shock and local pride. Finally, the conversation turns personal as Sandy and Trisha reveal their long-standing idea of a “marriage lease”—a concept now echoed by none other than Christie Brinkley. Should marriages be renewable every 5 years? The crew debates the pros, cons, and what their daughter thinks of the whole thing.

“Would you donate your pet to a zoo… if it meant feeding a lion?”In this wild and wide-ranging episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew covers everything from Austin's music scene to Denmark's controversial zoo practices. Sandy kicks things off with a moment of self-reflection—feeling out of touch after missing a sold-out show at Antone's by Austin music legend Adrian Quesada. JB drops some serious music knowledge, tracing Quesada's journey from Grupo Fantasma to Black Pumas. Then, Tricia reveals a surprising trend: Houston is quickly becoming a top destination for Californians fleeing high costs. The crew debates why Houston's appeal is rising, from business-friendly policies to cheaper housing—even if the zoning laws feel like the Wild West. But the most jaw-dropping moment comes from Denmark's Aalborg Zoo, which is asking citizens to donate healthy pets to feed apex predators. Yes, really. The team reacts with shock, sarcasm, and a few dark jokes about guinea pig genocide and small horses on the menu. Key Moments:
