🎧 “What would you do if your best friend asked for help—no questions asked?” In this laugh-out-loud and surprisingly insightful episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew dives deep into the unwritten rules that define modern masculinity—aka the Bro Code. From grill etiquette and urinal protocol to wingman duties and the sacred handshake, JB, Sandy, and Tricia break down the hilarious, heartfelt, and sometimes absurd rules that guys live by (even if they don’t admit it). Inspired by a legendary scene from The Town, the episode kicks off with a discussion about loyalty, trust, and the kind of ride-or-die friendship that defines true brohood. But it doesn’t stop there. You’ll hear:
  • Why you never touch another man’s grill—or his tongs
  • The subtle art of the head nod (up if you know him, down if you don’t)
  • The golden rule of urinal spacing
  • Why splitting the check is sacred
  • And the one thing you should never say unless you’re a true friend: “Dude… she’s crazy.”
“You don’t ask questions. You just grab your keys and go.” “If you get free beer, you don’t complain about the brand. You just drink it.” This episode is a hilarious celebration of friendship, respect, and the strange but sacred rituals that bond men together. And yes, Tricia is here to call out every double standard with her signature sass.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
But before we get to that, I have to tell you, JB,
your shirt is ordered. We were doing a bit where
we each have to order a T shirt for another
person on the show. I drew JB. And it has

I'm gonna play this clip from the movie.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
This is Jeremy Renner ben Affleck ben Afflex walking into
a room where Jeremy Renner is watching television. He needs
help from his buddy, and it's a perfect example of
guide code.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
I need your help. I can't tell you what it is.
You can never ask me about it later, and we're
going to hurt some people.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Who's Kyle We're gonna Takelly wants to know.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I love that clip.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
Who's Kyle, we're gonna take I didn't know any details.
A woman you would have asked for a million details.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah, and every guy out there that wanted to do
the exact same thing as Jeremy Rinner.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
Is breaking guy breaking guy code. Right, you just Okay,
A girl would still do it. She'd say I'm in,
but she'd want all the details so then she could
maybe improve upon the plan and make it even better. Yeah,
help her friends make it even better.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
We'd still do it. It would take you longer, I know,
but it would be perfection.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Other things that you know, that's a great example, like
when called upon, you just show up.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
You just when your buddy needs you.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
You just you don't ask why, You just get your
keys and you go and help them out.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
You got one, JB.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Yeah, you don't date your buddy's ex.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Oh I've heard that or their sister.

Speaker 6 (03:06):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, any of y'all friends ever try and date y'all sisters?
Y'all all have you both have sisters?

Speaker 3 (03:11):
No, but I messed around with my sister's friends.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
I don't know, I feel like that's reverse. I feel
like that's okay, right.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
I felt they need to keep it a secret for
the last forty years. Oh so maybe not. I don't know,
but yeah, you don't mess around. You don't date. There
was a guy that I went to high school. He
through high school I think three different times, and he
was a buddy three different times.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Stated my ex did it.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Three times, three different exes, three different girlfriends.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
All through high school.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Right, he did it over and over and over and
ended up marrying one of them, which whatever.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Take care.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
No, they bugged me at the time, but you know
what I mean, there wasn't.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
I mean, when you're sixteen seventeen years old, you don't
really know much about bro cody.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, but they should.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
It comes it comes later, right for sure. Here's another,
a really good one. You always respect the grill master, don't.
You don't touch another man's grill or his tungs.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yes, and you know what else, when the guy's grilling
broke code, you don't.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Don't.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Don't lend any advice while he's grilling. He knows what
he's doing. Leave him alone. Just leave him alone. You never, dudes,
never you're breaking bro code. If you get free beer,
you don't bitch about what brand it is, right, you know,
I'm not drinking a PBR. It's free drink it. It's

(04:38):
just some you know guys, and we had I talked
to my daughter about this. I told her once we
were walking on a busy sidewalk and so I, because
I was brought up right, I took the position closest
to traffic right and to her left, and I said
to her, as we're walking along, I go, if you
ever date a guy that doesn't walk to your left

(05:01):
on the side of traffic, break up with him immediately.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
You're done with him.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Very old school, right, he one raised right when raised
right to g didn't do that and open a door.
Have to make sure they open your door, guys. Opening
doors for girls is just it's going away. Nobody's doing
it anymore.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
I do it for my wife and daughter, and sometimes
a woman will see it and comment like that, Wow,
you don't see anyone do that anymore.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Well, I think it's good. You know what.

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Else doesn't happen very often, but it does every time
I see my uncles who are old school cowboys. If
we go to meet them for dinner or lunch or somewhere,
and they're there first, when I walk up to the table,
they stand up even if it's just like in a
sandwich shop, they just stand up, not all the way
up maybe, but enough to like the respectful of girls here,

(05:52):
acknowledging I'm there, and they'll sit down.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
It's kind of not bro code, but it was pretty funny.
One year at my parents' house for a holiday, and
the rule at my house I think we've talked about
this before was nobody eats until Apple eats until my
mom sits down and eats.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Trisha didn't get the memo.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
I didn't know, No, dude, if growing up we didn't
eat until my grandmother sat down.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
We would none of us whatever eat.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
She was always up, constantly doing stuff, and there were
so many of us people just ate immediately, and it
just wasn't a thing that we waited for my grandmother
to sit down.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
I get it, I get it.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
Here's a tricky guy code thing, and I'm sure you've
experienced this. I'll use the term busting chops instead of
the other term. You don't bust the chops unless you
know the other, dude really well.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
You don't.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
You're not the new guy hanging out and start chiming
in right and cracking on them, because that's not cool.
You got to be really tight exactly. Like if yeah,
like I can make fun of Sandy's extra large head. Yep,
if we're with some new per and they start chiming
and out, you're like whoa, whoa, whoa, then I would

(07:03):
get offended.

Speaker 6 (07:04):
Hey that right, right, because the time with somebody, right,
you can't just start banging on him the moment you
meet him.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Right, trying to be funny.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
You know what's a tricky oneing guy code is the
head nod.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
You know, yes, it's it's really it's a key one
because if you know them, nod up.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
If you don't know them, nod down.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Wow, there is that's a really interesting thing. Like there's
also this like if you if you get caught kind
of checking out his wife or girlfriend, you immediately look
to the guy and just nod, like you acknowledge.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
I got you. Yeah, good job.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Yeah, kick your coverage, right, because if you just are
staring like you might end up in a fight, so
you need to And there's also a lot of just
acknowledging us ranger, like it's a I see you, I
respect you, like yeah, yeah, so you don't bump shoulders
and get into a fight. Passing each other. That stuff
can happen easily, easily. I don't know if that all

(08:12):
makes sense, but it's like, yeah, you acknowledge, I acknowledge you.

Speaker 3 (08:16):
Like, just that's your territory, this is mine. We're good. Yeah.
It's like a dog gets peed on something, you pet
on her. We get it.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Okay, spot what about I mean this is one for me. Hey,
if I first meet you, I don't need a hand jive.
I just need a handshake, you know what I mean?
Just a good old, yeah, classic all handshake.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
I don't need to slap hands and do the bump
and no.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Handshake.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Yes, yeah, you don't do the I guess how do
you describe it? More of an interlocking thumb. That's more
like casual handsh You don't do that when you don't
know them.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Right, that's the sports handshake, you know what I yeah, yeah,
that's after game handshake.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Just a good a good hands good one is good. Right?
Any others we need to get out there?

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yeah yeah, there's uh, there's definitely and and and Chicks
don't do this. Guys split the check even no matter
who had what.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, yeah we do. We don't take out the calculator Oh.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
I just it's such a salad and I didn't have
any wine. Yeah, you know, you just split it, split
it right out right down the middle exactly, or one
chooses to pick it up, you get it next time.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, and you guys handle that. That's the what what
goes around comes around, you know what I mean. I mean,
I don't think JB and I have ever been out together.
We've had a lot of meals and a lot of
drinks together over the years that we even split it.
It was always I'll get this when you get the
next one.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah, it's over time. It's gonna even out. Yep, it does.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yeah, there's some guy codes in the restroom too.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Oh yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Urinal issue.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
You're not do not speak at the urinal. That's no,
no matter what, even if you know them. Well.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
I feel like I also heard too that you don't
if you go in and there's nobody else in there,
you always pick an end urinal, you don't immediately take
it like in the middle urinals, and it just makes
anybody who comes in after that uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Yes, And if there is someone in there at the urinal,
you choose the one furthest away.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, you don't say, there's six.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Of them in a row, and I and there was
one guy in there using the jurnal and I went
and stood next to him. No, no, no, Yeah, don't
do that.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
And you also don't do the spare square. If you
need it, you wait till they leave, you know what
I mean, you're in a stall.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
See, that's one thing that guys will do that girls won't.
Guys will walk into a bathroom and go in the
stall and do the number you do in a stall
and not care how.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Many other guys are in there.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
Girls will sit there and hold it and do the
camouflush flush so you can't hear it, and cough so
you don't notice how many times they're getting toilet paper.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
They're very different roles in boy and girls bathrooms.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
Yeah, guys, there's some good there's some good guy code
with like you know, being a good wingman. Yeah, you know,
sometimes you got to entertain the ugly chick so your
friend can.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
And sometimes you got like if your two dudes out
and there's two girls, you gotta choose wisely too, you
know what I mean, Like which one you're gonna flirt with?

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah, sometimes it works out.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
Sometimes you establish ahead of time, like you take the
one on the right, I'll take the one on the left.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
It's kind of just happens. It's all the stuff's unwritten.
You know, you don't you don't acknowledge it. You just
do it right. Yeah, it's it's not easy being a dude.
A lot of rules.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
Girls acknowledge everything. It's our job is to acknowledge all
the things.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
So like when you guys sneak off and go to
the bathroom, what are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (11:58):
All the all the people out there something ruda guys said,
some stupid out that are ugly out that that girl
has on, she looks like a whore. That girl talks
too loud, that guy's weird. All the things where we
make it back to the table. Sometimes, guys, and this
is not easy to do. Sometimes you gotta tell him
that the girl you're with is crazy. I mean, and

(12:22):
that's a that's a bro code really good friend thing,
Like if she's nuts, you gotta tell him, dude, she's nuts.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
You gotta get away from her.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Heally, I feel like you would never do that.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
I feel like that would be somehow breaking guy code.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
No, that's good friend, really well there's there's two answers
to that situation.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
You say.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
You think one and you say one. You could say
she's nuts, or you can think she must be good
in bed, because otherwise it is not worth it.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
That's true. I've thought about that about some people I know. Yeah,
he must be exactly what I'm thinking. Ye, yeah, she
