“Do babies love casinos… or is that just something we tell ourselves at 3 a.m. in Vegas?”
JB, Sandy, and Tricia kick things off with sharp observations about the city they love—from why Teslas are suddenly everywhere to a surprisingly passionate theory about Cybertrucks and who’s (never) riding shotgun.
Along the way, Tricia delivers an all-time relatable confession, admitting she once mistook deodorant on his shirt for feta cheese and still powered through his morning.
The show takes a heartfelt turn with an update on Athena the owl and her orphaned owlet at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildlife Center, complete with JB’s unforgettable line: “You never know if they’re gonna take to it… or kill it.” Equal parts sweet and unhinged, it’s classic JB.
Then comes one of the episode’s most talked-about moments: JB’s impulsive Instagram purchase—a pocket-sized fishing pole that sparks nostalgia, marital survival strategies, and exactly zero confidence it’ll win him a bass tournament. Add in Sandy’s Mother’s Day donut overthink spiral, and suddenly everyone feels seen.
Things heat up during a rapid-fire Q&A that gives listeners a clearer picture of Tricia—from her lifelong dedication to comfy pants to her Austin childhood in Zilker, and her unapologetic answer to the question of the sexiest man of all time (cue Elvis… and a photo that makes everyone uncomfortable).
The laughs keep coming with the long-running “Babies Love…” saga, as listeners send proof that infants apparently adore casinos, drag racing, Dave Matthews Band concerts, and front-row baseball games in the blazing Texas heat.
The episode wraps with a passionate, deeply Austin argument over what truly qualifies as a dive bar, separating the pros from the pretenders as the crew runs through listener-submitted legends like Deep Eddy, the Water Tank, Dry Creek, and Mean Eyed Cat.
