When did your parents stop calling the babysitter?

Sandy says one of the best parts of parenthood is the day you no longer need a sitter. JB was home alone by eight. Tricia was babysitting newborn cousins at ten while the grown-ups hit the honky-tonk, and her uncle ended up in the bathtub with the shower curtain. She babysat for Tarrytown attorneys well into her late twenties, and Sandy once asked a base nursery worker why s...

What does Austin do now that the coyote caught the roadrunner?

Muni looks saved, and the crew compares it to the end of a war. The plan still needs the November 19 council vote: the city runs the golf course while UT keeps the land, so no more fights every six months.

Then Sandy says the unpopular thing. He doesn't golf, and with Zilker packed with big events, he kind of wishes it were an open park. JB has a theory ab...

Should you need a special license for a car that does 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds?

In this Story We Love, Elon Musk is set to reveal the long-awaited Tesla Roadster in Waco, nine years after promising it would lift off the ground. JB explains what a roadster actually is, and he says most people aren't ready for cars this fast.

Did you know Penny Marshall is gone?

Milwaukee leading the Dodgers in the NLCS feels like 1935 to Sandy, and all he can picture is Laverne sitting behind home plate. Tricia had no idea Penny Marshall had passed, and it turns out this happens a lot. She found out about Johnny Carson recently too.

So JB and Sandy hold a celebrity obituaries segment, Laverne and Shirley edition, with Cindy Williams, Lenny, Squiggy and Ca...

How many players start on a hockey team, anyway?

Steven from Liberty Hill calls in to play Minute to Win It for $350, and he came ready with questions six, seven and eight already in hand. Then the clock starts. Hockey turns into a guessing game, the baby pig question gets an answer you have to hear, and a card game with a kitty and tricks stops him cold.

Steven nearly won it yesterday too, so the pot grows and the ga...

What does Austin fight about now that Muni looks saved?

In this Story We Love, a deal is in place for the city to run Lions Municipal Golf Course on land UT still owns, thanks to donors who stepped up with a big contribution.

JB, Sandy and Tricia dig into how well the city might run a golf course, the land's history, and Muni's place on the National Register as one of the ...

Would you start smoking to prove AI will cure cancer?

In Care Don't Care, Tricia reports on AI cancer researchers lighting up to show how much they believe in the tech. Then a new world record for her series on records that mean nothing: a man catches 20 paper airplanes in his mouth in one minute, and JB is more impressed with the thrower. Finally, what a teal pumpkin on a porch means at Halloween, and no, it is not a Steine...

What happens when a superstar puts a tiny toy store on blast?

First, a mystery update: Big Frank says his last name is Franklin, which makes him Frank Franklin and leaves his first name as unknown as ever. Then Tricia brings the Story We Love. Kelly Clarkson says a Brooklyn shop wouldn't sell her a $15,000 wooden bird, compared it to the Pretty Woman scene, and posted it to 8.8 million followers. The store got death threats,...

Where did Austin's slacker mentality go?

Sandy opens the semi popular JB and Sandy Show wondering why so many people are up and moving at five in the morning in a town that used to run on university hippies, lazy state workers and a movie called Slacker. JB's college buddy from Frisco still thinks we're all slackers, and Sandy's old cooking pal Pat Brown had the best line of all: Austin is where young people go to retire.

What did Wednesday teach us?

Tricia wraps the show: Minute to Win It is up to $350 tomorrow, she apparently doesn't understand guitar riffs (not even the Kermit one), and she's doing homework tonight to try again. Plus the Three Calls verdict on the Bumble woman who wanted $100 for getting stood up: overwhelming no.

Should a dating app pay you back when your date never shows?

Should a dating app pay you back when your date never shows?

A Miami woman got stood up on a Bumble date, then went on social media demanding the app cover her $25 shrimp cocktail, another drink and two $18 Ubers. Tricia says absolutely not: blaming Bumble is like being mad at Target because a rude shopper got in. JB plays devil's advocate, and Sandy points out she's complaining about what guys have paid for forever.

How do you get 30 grown men to agree on anything, let alone this?
JB stumbled onto the Harmony Town Chorus from Wayne, Michigan: a room full of gray-haired, bearded guys in Hawaiian shirts, mostly 65 and up, choosing to spend their leisure time singing Popeye the Sailor Man.
The crew can't stop picturing it. Who sent the first email? Are there auditions for the toot toot? Is there a Hawaiian shirt dress code? And how do you t...

What happens to a giant green dinosaur when its store closes?

This Story We Love: Wheatsville Food Co-op on Guadalupe is closing October 25, and the big question is the Manjasaurus on the roof, the old Mangia Pizza mascot that high schoolers once stole and UT paleontology had to patch up.

Has a campaign text or yard sign ever made up your mind?

JB and Sandy are drowning in political texts and replying stop to four a day. Tricia rats out a drive where Sandy wanted to cruise the neighborhood to see whose yard signs were up so he could decide.

How many throw blankets does one house really need?

Tricia gets some rare public credit: the salami salad finally got made before the head of lettuce ended up in the trash like the last eight. That opens the floodgates on everything else we buy and never use, from container store organizers and holiday storage tubs to a hundred throw blankets, a coffee mug surplus and 15 water bottles.

Then JB tells how his wife laid ...
