Held Together By Syrup and Cigarette Smoke

Does Telling Someone to “Calm Down” Ever Actually Work? 

Does telling someone to “calm down” ever make things better… or does it crank everything up five notches? 😅 The JB and Sandy Show kicks off with Tricia’s laugh-out-loud truth bomb of the day: “If someone tells me to take it down a notch, that guarantees a five‑notch increase.” Instantly relatable—and instantly hilarious. 

From there, the crew dives headfirst into the stories everyone’s talking about. Stephen Presley from Thunder Pop TV joins the fun to unpack the rumored Miranda Lambert–Kacey Musgraves feud and why its surprise ending had fans buzzing 🎶. Then, JB and Sandy finally put a lid on the Blake Lively–Justin Baldoni legal saga, asking the real question: who actually won in the court of public opinion? 

Things get even better with a round of Care or Don’t Care, covering everything from shrinking burrito portions 🌯 to the Trader Joe’s craze that could spark total chaos this summer 🛍️—and what moms really want for Mother’s Day (hint: it involves doing absolutely nothing 💐). 

The laughs keep rolling with listener confessions that spark the segment “Does That Make Me Crazy?”—from saving every jar “just in case” to the unforgettable moment someone admits to licking batteries for fun.

Add in nostalgic Austin stories, haunted restaurant smells, and the iconic line that an old diner was “held together by cigarettes and syrup,” and you’ve got an episode packed with humor, heart, and classic JB and Sandy energy.
