What happens when cutting-edge tech meets Austin potholes, prom season panic sets in, and a lunchbox becomes a full-blown status symbol? 🤔 

The show kicks off with a surprisingly smart discussion about how everyday technology could help solve one of Austin’s most persistent annoyances — potholes — sparking questions about whether collecting data is enough if nothing actually gets fixed. 🕳️🚗 

From there, the mood shifts as JB and Sandy revisit the unforgettable story of Baby Jessica, the 1987 rescue that once captivated the nation. Now back in the headlines decades later, her story prompts reflection, dark humor, and one truly unforgettable (and outrageous) suggestion that left everyone speechless and laughing. 😲 

Things lighten up with a fan-favorite segment, Rapid Fire Q&A, where JB reveals his love of classic ’60s style, delivers a memorable quote — “I would never want to belong to a club that would have somebody like me as a member” — and explains why his hypothetical license plate would proudly read “LUV GAS.” 😎 

Then comes the pressure cooker: The Ode of the Day. With only one short song to write, Sandy races the clock to deliver a hilarious and painfully accurate Ode to Prom, complete with awkward chaperones, regrettable haircuts, and the unforgettable reminder to “leave room for the Holy Ghost.” 

As if that weren’t enough, the episode wraps with a surprisingly intense lunchbox rivalry, a deep dive into how much college mascots can earn on the side, and the daily recap of “Things We Learned,” tying the chaos together perfectly.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Every politician in the world. Local politician will say the
way to get elected is promised to fill potholes. Right,
it's goodwill to fill potholes, and now technology is going
to help get that done. In Austin, WEIMO and Ways
Ways excuse me, are going to map the potholes in
Austin and then I guess turn it over to the
city councils they.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Fix it exactly.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
They announced it a pilot program to provide the City
of Austin with the data that their cars collect. Their
cars automatically collect pothole data. I guess then, so the
cars know where to dodge them on future routes. So
now WEIMO and Ways are going to provide that data
to the City of Austin.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
That's smart. I like that. There's a whole section that
they don't even need to drive the weaimo's on. Right.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Do you know that residents contacted Austin the non emergency
number twenty nine hundred times last year because of potholes just.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
To report ple yes. So okay, so we've reported twenty
nine hundred potholes probably through the three one one oh. Yeah,
what has happened with that information?

Speaker 3 (00:59):
We just now we just know where they are.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Coming up with JB and Sandy. You guys remember baby
Jessica nineteen eighty seven, West Texas fell into a well
and captivated America. She was a baby, baby, eighteen months old. Yeah,
well she's back in the news. We'll tell you about it,
coming up on ninety eight one caveat. It was nineteen

(01:23):
eighty seven, Yep, it was in West Texas, Midland, that area,
when a baby, an eighteen month old baby, fell down
an eight inch abandoned well and she was like twenty
something feet underground.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Twenty two feet underground, and.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Then it took sixty hours to get her out. And
this was in the early days of CNN.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Yeah live reporting, right, Yeah, we hadn't had anything like
that where they just stayed on a story like that.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
And they were camped out there and anything that was
happening for two and a half days. They finally got
baby Jessica out of the well and she just I
guess went on with her life. Well, she is in
a little bit more trouble. Well, she wasn't in trouble then,
but she's in trouble now for sure.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, she's back in the news because she was arrested
on a domestic disturbance charge at her home in Midland County.
She got arrested for fighting with their family. She's been
charged with assault causing bodily injury and she was put
in the jail house.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Jessica, wouldn't you have moved away from I did? I was.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
You know, take this with a grain of salt because
it just comes from the internet. But this was way
before gofund me obviously, nineteen eighty seven and all those
kind of things. But a lot of people had donated,
and she had about a million dollars that she got
when she became an adult. Oh really twenty one or
twenty five maybe, right, And she said that, you know,
this helped me get by, but it didn't affect her life.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Right. Oh we blew through a million bucks, right, I mean, yeah,
I'd like to try give me a shot, all right
with that?

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Sure? Man? That's sad. She could do an only Fans
page where she's stuck all around the.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
House and just say she gets stuck in things all
around the house. Yeah, she is in the closet.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
I'm stuck in the cupboard.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh, she's stuck in the water heater.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
I'm stuck in the washer.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
You'all gonna get struck by lightning.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, we are sticking around. We got the Ode of
the day coming up. Great chance to get to know JB.
I know JB pretty well. I've been on been known
them for over thirty years, and we're lucky, worked on
the radio together for eighteen years at a different station,
and now we're here at ninety eight one kvet and
thrilled to be here. So the way you get to

(03:49):
know is we do something called rapid fire Q and
A three quick questions, three quick answers, and you might
find something out about JB that you do not know.
I'll get things started, JB.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
I know these make me nervous, but go on.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
There's nothing nothing cringeworthy here, JBI. If unless you think
a personalized license plate is cringeworthy, if you were to
get a personalized license plate, what would your plate say?

Speaker 4 (04:12):
First of all, I never get a personalized license plate, Okay,
but if I was going to get one, I would
probably get in this era of evs, I would get
one that says l u V gas love gas, just
to make people mad.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Oh that's funny.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
I like cars, cars, internal combustion engines.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Near gas guy.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
All Right, here's my question for you, JB. If you
had to go back and pick one era to choose
those clothes from that era to wear today, what era
would it be?

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (04:47):
Walking around today in a different eras close Roman?

Speaker 1 (04:54):
No?

Speaker 4 (04:54):
I love the fashion from the sixties. Oh okay, no, no, no,
no more mad men suits, the skinny ties, the hats.
The guy's always had hats, which I thought was cool.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Would be a smoker, maybe maybe a pipe guy.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
But the women's dresses too, were just awesome in the sixties.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
I don't know if you'd look good in those dresses too.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
I've tried on. You got to get the real sixties pointed.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
They're very pointed, very pointy.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Last question in Rapid Fire Q and A for JB.
What is your favorite movie quote?

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Oh? Dang, that's a tough one. There's a great line.
I love. Anie Hall is one of my favorite movies.
It's a Woody Allen movie. It's just quirky and there's
a quote in there, but he's actually quoting somebody else
and he says, I would never want to belong to
a club that would have somebody like me as a member.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
And he's quoting Groucho Mark.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Croucho Mark, You're right. I just think that's such a
great line, and it's such a truth.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
I wouldn't want to you get.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Too easily accepted by somebody or a group of people.
You're like, what's wrong with them?

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Exactly? It's very true. Coming up with Jab and Sandy,
all right, don't go anywhere. The ode of the day
is coming up. Well, I will write a ode in
about though three minutes or so. If you've never heard it,
stay with us. It's coming up. It's the JB and
Sandy Show in Austin's All Time Country Favorites ninety eight

(06:23):
one kvet I am looking ahead. I might have to
write this ode fast, I mean really fast, because the
song we're about to play from Josh Grayson's two minutes
and thirty five seconds.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
Oh that's tight.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
That is really tight to write an ode. And Jab's
been fielding suggestions from you guys and has not shared
these with me because I don't know what the topic
is until it hits me.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
And then you only have that one song to write
it two and a half minutes.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Right, So what are some of the topics today?

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Lisa wrote in and she suggested because she has a
daughter that's getting ready for prom. Ode to proms. You
guys might be in that same boat.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Oh yeah, Saturday, Saturday for our daughter.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
It's that season.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
It's expensive season, is what it is, because of the
dress and all the other things that go along. I
could do that. It's bounced. It's pinging around in my
head right now.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
Oh you like it?

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, I like it. I will write during this song,
which is again two minutes and thirty five seconds, the
Ode to the prom It's coming up. Thanks for being
with us to JB and Sandy Show along with Tricia
on ninety eight one kvat I give up nothing rhymes
with corsage? Nothing?

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Oh you got stumped there for a secon.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
I got plenty, but I was trying to finish it up.
Oh yet the ode with a corsage rhyme, It doesn't
exist what I think of I.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
You know, if you're just tuned in, it's the ode
of the day where Sandy's given a subject happens to
be proms and you only have the one song to
write it. I've never seen you get so frustrated that
right there at the end there, I know that was
a short song.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
But I snapped my quill again.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
You're too rough on the quil about a.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Bunch of them.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
Though we got it, We've talked about it. You got
to do that privately.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
I've settled. I will now perform. Let me put my
beret on here, here we go, throw that quill away,
here we go, and I'm ready to perform the ode
to prom to the prom Bye, Sam made to prom.

(08:31):
The guy will pay for dinner and flowers. He'll be
in deep debt. Plus he'll be rocking a haircut that
in twenty years he's gone. O regret. Stupid stupid chaperones

(08:51):
cruising the dance floor the most with subtle reminders to
leave room for the holy ghost.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Oh yeah, yeah, don't be grabbing like that just because
Journey's on. Don't be grabbing.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Guys. They think they're gonna get lucky because they rented
a limo for the record. Guys, it ain't gonna happen.
You just didn't get the memo.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
There is.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
I can't believe they crowned him prom king. He once
stole my lunch. Wait till that fool finds out I
spiked the punch drunk king.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Somebody throwing up tonight.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
That's the ode of the day. It's JB and Sandy
at ninety eight one cavett. We'll do it again tomorrow.
Be here. I'll admit it. I caved in. I caved.
I felt the pressure, this the embarrassment and the shame,
and I came in and JB started a lunchbox war.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
JV didn't do anything.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
JV bottoms up a lunch box and then you got
all weird about it.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
I didn't get weird about it. I just felt inadequate.
So you may have seen it on Instagram or Facebook Instagram.
At k at FM, we took a picture of JB
and his yetti lunch bag, and then we took a
picture with a shoulder strand yeah, of course, and a
spoon pouch yeah, and a spoon put and then put
that photo right next to me with my HTB plastic

(10:31):
bag lunchbox, and I couldn't take it anymore.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Did you feel like the pole kid at school?

Speaker 1 (10:37):
I did.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
It did make me feel weird looking at the two
y'all next to each other with your plastic bag as.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yeah, So I was like, I can't I can't stand that.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
So it's funny. I was thinking about it, like, why
didn't we have lunch? Well, one, we eat better than
we used to back in the day.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, but why didn't we.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Have pack lunches back then when we were doing the
radio shows.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
I was lucky to get out of bed back then
and make it on time for a lunch. I was
leaving some girl's house in Terrytown and trying to get
to work take her lunch.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
We also worked right next to a people's pharmacy, and
we'd eat there every day. And now we don't have
that luxury. So when when we started coming in, I
was like, I need a proper lunch box lunch, and
I got a nice yetty one that's magnetic. Look at this, Trisha.
I bet he didn't have this.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Ice Here's my lunchbox.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Here's this real sleek JB.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
You might be able to see this video on social
media later today. Here's mine. I got a camouflage with
an American flag. It's not a yettie because I wasn't
going to spend eighty five bucks.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
Is that an Academy special?

Speaker 1 (11:43):
No, I don't know what. But look at my ice bag.
I tighten ice wall, ice wall from Titan. I'm keeping
stuff cold. I'm not getting any diseases.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
All right now. I don't think you should have gotten
a camouflage lunch box, because.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
What you lose everything to see it?

Speaker 4 (12:05):
Everything? It should be bright with a balloon attached to
it flashes.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
I'm gon send this back.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
I'll tell you what. Put an air tag in it.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
The good idea. It's JB and Sandy at ninety eight
one Cavett. Wait till you hear how much money a
college student made being a college mascot. It's JB and
Sandy show. Hello, it's ninety one Cavett. I'm Sandy. This
is JB. Trish is here too, and stick around. At
one o'clock today, Angie's got tickets to the iHeart Country

(12:35):
Festival presented by Capital One. It's coming up May second.
It's at the Moody Center. If you want to win,
be listening to Angie today one o'clock and you can win.
So you can rent university's mascots to come out to
your events. And when I first saw this, I thought, wow,
you could get Bevo to come to your party. It

(12:55):
turns out it's the student in.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
The cost costing.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, okay, I gotta tell you it kind of loses
the sizzle for me.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Oh, having that, like the true Bevo show up at
a wedding.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
That'd be awesome.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
That would be.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Super cool, but also the actual mascot. Sometimes at games,
I'm just focused on what the mascot's doing. Yeah, because
they're funny and they run around. I feel like that
would be way more entertaining.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
The Beibo mascot gets seven hundred and fifty bucks a
half an hour.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
To show up a event.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Show up there for higher Yeah, they're for higher one. Kid,
I can't remember what school made one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars doing this.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, I think you only that mascot made two fifty
an hour, But he had five hundred and eighteen booked
appearances last year.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
It's crap ton of money.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
He is in. My favorite tradition with college with university
mascots is at South Carolina the game Cocks, because they
keep it a secret who the mascot is all year long,
and then at graduation the person that was the mascot
they wear the big the Gamecock feet with their cap
and gown at graduates and.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
They walk across the stage.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah that's how you find.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, but it'd be way cooler to have Bevo than
the kid in the costume. I mean, I've seen Bevo
out and it only take him out. I saw him
at the UT Club. I see what's the organization that
handles him at UTT? You cowboys?

Speaker 4 (14:14):
See the Cowboys or the Spurs silver Spurs.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
I think it's the spurs. If somebody is yelling at
the radio.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Right now, I know I shouldn't know that, but I
remember you told me that the guys that did do that,
they got a lot of girls, right, I.

Speaker 4 (14:26):
Think they because the cowboys do the cannon, silver spurs,
silver silver bev Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Right. So I've seen him out and about. I've seen
the truck and stuff on Mopack, them taking him the trailer,
taking him all doped up.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, they taking care of so Bevo.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Seven fifty for a half hour, the most expensive mascot
you can rent three grand an hour.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
LSU Tigers, Mike the.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Tiger, but that's the real Again, I'd paid three grand
for the real tiger, but not some kidnap tiger costume.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
I want the animal.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah yeah, So get your Bevo out to your kids
next party and just have a blast. Seven and fifty
bucks for thirty minutes. You can get a bounce house
a lot cheaper than that, right.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Get Bevo in the bounce house. That's going to be interesting.

Speaker 1 (15:13):

Speaker 3 (16:07):
We talked about you and JB y'all's lunchbox war, Yeah,
which JB didn't even know.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
It was a very one sided war.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
All JB did lunchbox and then Sandy got weird.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
It felt inadequate, very one sided war. Yeah, and now
know what it feels like to be an aggie.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Another thing we talked about in Rapid Fire.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Q and A asked JB if you had a personalized
license plate, what would it say?

Speaker 4 (16:32):
JB, go ahead, I said.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Luv gas love in this day of electric vehicles, love
gus just to get people fired up.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
Oh yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Speaking of cars, Waimo and Way's are now helping the
City of Austin pot the potholes around the city.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
They're mapping them, mapping them.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
And sharing that information with the government or with Austin
City Council so we can maybe get some of them
build in.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
I know that information, like like you said earlier this
morning on the three to one one reporting, Yeah, thousands
and thousands. That doesn't mean they get fixed, You're just
gathering information.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
It just means they know where they are. And finally,
the weirdest thing that we learned today. Everybody remembers baby
Jessica from back in nineteen eighty seven, the eighteen month
old little baby who fell down the well in Midland.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
She's back in the.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
News today, besure she got arrested on domestic assault charges.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
And then we found out that she was she had
a fund of about a million bucks when she turned
twenty one.

Speaker 4 (17:34):
Yeah, she did. She did have some money and she
said it got her by but didn't change who she was.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
And then JB had a recomnd. I'm gonna let you
say it again saying it.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
I have my recommendation for her.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Yeah, how she can make some quick money.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
She needs an only fans page where she just gets
trapped around the house. It's like it's like I'm stuck
in the cupboard. Help. Oh, I'm wont her fridge again.
Bang bang bang bang, I'm in the dryer. I'm trapped
under the bed. Call CNN.
