When the roads freeze and the world shuts down, what’s your go-to survival strategy—hot yoga, online games, or beet juice on the streets?” ❄️🧃
This episode of The JB and Sandy Show is a lively blend of winter woes, quirky solutions, and everyday hilarity. Sandy, JB, and Tricia kick things off with Sandy’s newfound love for hot yoga, sharing tips for staying strong and flexible as the years go by. But when a Texas ice storm hits, the crew hunkers down, reminiscing about the lost magic of snow day announcements and the chaos of Austin’s icy roads. “No one else in Austin does and they could easily slam into you. Unless it’s an absolute emergency… don’t go anywhere!” 🚗❄️
Key moments include:
- Backgammon Battles: Sandy gets Tricia hooked on online backgammon, sparking playful rivalry and confessions of game addiction. “I hate you for doing this to me!” Tricia shouts from the other room, while JB admits he avoids games to keep from falling into a “dark hole.” 🎲📱
- Storm Stories: Tricia tracks the storm’s progress, sharing real-time updates on road closures, icy bridges, and the infamous Palmer Lane Bridge spinouts. The crew debates the wisdom of venturing out and the art of preemptively thawing cars for emergencies. “Why risk it? Why bang up my truck?” 🚧
- Beet Juice Solution: In a surprising twist, Sandy reveals that West Virginia uses beet juice to melt ice on roads. “Beet juice effectively melts ice when mixed with salt brine… but it does leave temporary reddish stains!” The team marvels at the ingenuity and messiness of this unconventional fix. 🧃🛣️
- Grocery Store Judgments: The conversation turns to food and family, with Sandy sharing stories of “food and beverage service” at home, and the crew confessing their grocery shopping quirks. “I’m the most judgy person in the world at the grocery store. I judge them based on what they have in there!” 🛒🍬
- Memorable Quotes:
- “No food and beverage service today.”
- “I would fall out of whatever I was on and have a heart attack if Tricia did that.”
- “If the stuff on the belt at checkout is too healthy, can’t be friends with the guys.”
From icy adventures and family running jokes to the joys (and pitfalls) of grocery shopping, this episode is packed with laughs, practical tips, and the kind of chemistry only JB, Sandy, and Tricia can deliver.
