“The Alligator Pillow, Rock Star Moves & the Gift That Broke the Internet” “Why do I love this weird, beaded alligator pillow so much?” That’s the question Tricia asks as she unwraps what might be the most delightfully bizarre anniversary gift ever given on-air. In this heartwarming and hilarious episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew dives into the joy of thoughtful (and totally random) gifts, the quirks of long-term relationships, and the art of giving something that truly makes someone light up. 🎁 Key Moment: Sandy surprises Tricia with a pink, high-heeled, lipstick-wearing alligator pillow she’s been eyeing for years—setting off a wave of laughter, nostalgia, and genuine emotion. “This is the best anniversary gift you’ve ever given me,” she beams. 🎸 Theme Spotlight: The gang then shifts gears into a spirited debate about rock star signature moves—like Benson Boone’s flips, David Lee Roth’s high kicks, and Elvis’s iconic hip shake—and whether these stage antics are built to last. From Pink’s aerial acrobatics to Robert Plant’s mic cable whip, they hilariously assess which stars were thinking long-term and which might be headed for a rock ‘n’ roll injury.

About twenty five years ago or.

Speaker 6 (04:31):
So, and he was living here and a single guy.
He shut that place down three four nights a week.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Really a quick, funny, funny story about JB's dad, whose
name's Gary, and Gary was single at the time. I
was single, recently divorced, and we were hanging out and
he was at my house once in. One of the
biggest ass chewings I ever got from anybody, a coach,
a parent, a boss, anybody, came from JB's dad because
he was ruvenging through my house and could not find

(05:02):
a bottle opener. He's like, what in the hell is
going where? You don't have a bottle opener in this house?

Speaker 5 (05:08):
What is wrong with you?

Speaker 1 (05:09):
I thought you're going to say tabasco. You never know
what's going to set him on.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
No, but he was just he was insulted. He was
literally insulted that I did not have a bottle opener
in the house, which was pretty funny.

Speaker 5 (05:24):
So happy anniversary to you, trace.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
Ah, thank you up gazing at my alligator pillow.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
How are you going to top that with a gift?

Speaker 6 (05:31):
Uh? Right has been set high.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
Coming on, guys, go ahead.

Speaker 6 (05:39):
I was just going to say, it's just such a
you know, like you said sixteen seventeen years of marriage.
It isn't a that's a that's a great gift because
it it's just so thoughtful. It's you know, it's not
an over the top gift, but it's thoughtful. And you
get to a certain point in your marriage where you're like,
do I just buy him some goofy thing?

Speaker 5 (05:58):
That doesn't.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Right? So that's I don't know, that's nice.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
May be happy.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Enjoy your pillow. Now, if you just join us, you
missed a whole bunch of the show. Make sure you
grab the podcast first in search. JB and Sandy on
the iHeart Radio app. JB says, all right, Benson Boone,
we've seen your flip.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
I've had it. Yeah, you've had it.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
For those who had it, Benson Boone is a yeah,
you had a big, big hit right now.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
You may not know his name, but you do know this,
all right.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
We can't play the song on the podcast, but it's
beautiful Things by Benson Boone.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
This cat shows up.

Speaker 6 (06:35):
I had heard his rumblings of his name for a while,
and then I think it was on the Grammys he
performed yeah yeah, and he came out in his I
don't know he and he and what's his name? Clearly shot,
who's the other guy that wears jumpsuits all the time?
They shop at the same place.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
I don't know, Adam Lambert. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (06:56):
Anyway, he's all blinged up in his jumpsuit and come
out at the Grammys and does a flip.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
And I was like, WHOA.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
Got your attention? You got me?

Speaker 6 (07:05):
Yeah, I'm a fan like this guy. Not only amazing voice,
great stage presence.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
And all this.

Speaker 6 (07:12):
Now I can't get away from seeing clips of him flipping.

Speaker 5 (07:17):
It's everywhere.

Speaker 6 (07:18):
Another Oh, another Benson boone flip.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Oh, another Benson flip. Oh, here's he's flipping again. He's
flipping again. It's like, enough with the flips.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
We get it, get it, we get it, and flip.

Speaker 6 (07:29):
You can flip. You can flip off a piano. Congratulations,
stop just stop.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
And he was just he was just at Coachella and
flipping around.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, and he did.

Speaker 6 (07:41):
He did Queen A Queen song comes out with the flip,
and and it's going everywhere because Brian May comes up
on a stage riser and does the guitar solo. But
I'm like, okay, got it, you can do a flip Okay,
let's just keep our feet on the ground for a while.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Do you think that Benson Boone, He's like you, guys,
I think maybe we got to let the flip go.
And his people are like, no, you gotta do the flip.
That's how they know you.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Here's what I'll say, Benson Boone is not thinking long term,
not thinking long term with the flip in the rock
and roll world, because at some point he's going to
get to an age where he can't do the flip anymore.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Now, like guys like it's it's Pete Townsend was thinking
ahead because he could do the windmill guitar thing.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Yeah, yeah, he could be old and do that.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
I'd be old and do that, right right.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
So. But also, but Benson, to your point too, he's
not thinking ahead. You've got to use it sparingly. I'll
give you an example. How crazy would you go if
you when Michael Jackson.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
Did the moonwalk?

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Ah?

Speaker 6 (08:46):
Yeah, because he used it very sparingly. He didn't do
it every damn time.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Yeah, the big question was is he going to do it?

Speaker 3 (08:54):
So you'd be glued to the TV to see if
he was going to do it, and when he didn't,
do it. It was such a bummer. Yeah, but you were
glued to the TV. The next time.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Another rocket roller not thinking long term, davidly Wrothy his
high kicks and it splits. Yeah, at some point in
your rock and roll life, you're not gonna be able
to do that anymore.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
I'm just thinking you got to be planning way down
the road for stuff.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
So that makes me think that maybe Axel Rose planned
down the road because he has that snake but his
feet never leave the ground. He just has to wiggle
his upper body. Do it till he's a hundred could.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Do it till nice good point. You know who I'm
worried about.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
Though.

Speaker 6 (09:36):
Eventually Angus Young from a CDC's going to get into
that duck walk. He's going he's to get back up that.
That is going to be a broken hip. Yeah, mark
my words.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, Yeah, Angus I.

Speaker 5 (09:51):
Think is dead.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
It's the duck walk what got him?

Speaker 5 (10:01):
Did not know that? I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
No, I take it back. He is alive. Oh, okay,
he is alive. I thought he was dead.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Pretty he's not.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
But there's why I thought that, because death hoaxes about
him have sirt.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
But Angus is still out there doing it. I'll chuck.
He did the duck walk for a long time.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
That's true. He actually did a much more treacherous duck walk.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
She got lower, he got low with his duck walk.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
You know who was.

Speaker 6 (10:28):
Thinking ahead too, with something that's easy to do as
you age that signature? Right, picture Robert plant on stage,
the way he would hold the microphone in one hand
and hold the cable in the other. He just kind
of whip it, like kind of hold his arm out
and whip it and and just kind of stick his

(10:50):
hips out in his chest.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yeah, kind of Kenny Rogers holding the microphone in one
hand and the cord in the other.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (10:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
Now what about.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Pink Oh, I can't get enough of that?

Speaker 6 (11:03):
Yeah, when she's up there starves her aerial stuff.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Yeah, yeah, that's amazing.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Right right.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Steven Tyler thinking ahead, just having his guitar dressed like
a pirate and Kevern is his guitar stand covered in
scarves and drape.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
You want to know what I just found out about
Steven Tyler and the scarves.

Speaker 5 (11:23):
He's a woman.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
No, His daughter Mia.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Has written a book and she said the whole reason
he started tying the stock scarves to his microphone stand
is so he could hide his pills in the scarves
and take him on stage live as he was playing
when he back when he was super addicted.

Speaker 6 (11:40):
Wow, yeah, I thought he put all those scarves on
the microphone to try to convince us that Stevie Nicks
was standing.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
Right there.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
A little like her air.

Speaker 6 (11:52):
That's one of the most signature moves of all time.
Now we haven't talked about yet. Think about it. Think
picture went him and screaming in the audience.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
Oh, I know who it is. You thought of it first,
So you say.

Speaker 6 (12:05):
Screaming losing there, Elvis Presley, Yeah, Elvis.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
Was he still shaking his hips at the end?

Speaker 5 (12:15):
Oh yeah?

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Was it more of just a little thump trying, still trying.

Speaker 6 (12:21):
Yeah, I've watched that last concert of his many times.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
He was super sweaty.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
Where was that do you remember? It doesn't matter, it
doesn't matter, but he was.

Speaker 6 (12:32):
It's funny when they talk about him, you know, big
Elvis before he passed, he wasn't that big on today's standards.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
No, no thought Elvis won that fat exactly.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
By today standards.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah, I think, but just people remember him as there's
a photo JB of Elvis that Tricia has thoughts on.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
Tell everyone about that.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Oh my god, there's this one photograph taken of him
walking down the hall.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
There's two of his guys walking behind him.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
He is on this like purple jacket, has it buttoned
but no shirt on underneath it, and he's like wave
into somebody off to the side. And I think it's
the most hottest photo of a human being.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Ever taken out in the history of photos.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
I'm looking for it right now and I'm going to
send it to you because even our friends who play
for the other team are like.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
Damn, damn. I was like, right, yeah, did you find it?

Speaker 5 (13:28):
And I even look at him like damn right.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 5 (13:33):
It might be the best looking male.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
Ever to live.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
Did you Did you find it?

Speaker 3 (13:39):
No?

Speaker 4 (13:40):
I'm still looking.

Speaker 6 (13:41):
Have you ever had this This is a little slightly
off topic, but sort of same, Tricia. Have you ever
seen a painting or a sculpture of Jesus where it's
a little too hot?

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah, and then you feel like this is wrong something, Things.

Speaker 6 (13:55):
Like they made the aves were just a little I
believe he was cut, you know what I mean, because
he covered a lot of ground. He walked a lot,
he got his steps there he did, he did get
his his fit bit was happening.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
Yeah, I found the picture.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Okay, okay, good, Oh go ahead, let me share.

Speaker 6 (14:16):
It with I'm just I'm just saying you I've seen
a statue or a sculpture to or a painting where
you go, dang, jac what's up?

Speaker 3 (14:25):
Ja cul We're gonna get struck by lightning.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
And the truth is, he looked nothing like he's portrayed.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
That's an interesting search what Jesus really looked like based
on what he violated?

Speaker 4 (14:43):
Let him be hot.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
Here you go. Here's that photo of Elvis.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Okay, yeah, oh, I don't think I've seen this.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Even if hands are doing something sexy and the belt
is not through the belt loops, it's like like a
woman would wear it that way.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yeah that's yeah, that's pretty pimp.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
That's a handsome dude.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Right, handsome man. Lay down boom, oh, lay down boo
for sure. Oh yeah, you.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
Saw I'm walking down the hall like that. You just
laid I just laid down here.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
I am do whatever you want to do.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
Sticker out. We got more coming up.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Well, here we are toly in Central Texas and it's
just hot, and we've had some wild weather too. So
far this year, a lot of people have got some
storm damage and a lot of times that means roof
damage and insurance claims. Hey, if that happened to you,
my friend Scott and Stacy Feller and their team at
Kangaroof are here for you. Scott and Stacy just introduce

(15:45):
something really exciting thereby now pay later program. The timing
of this is perfect even when insurance covers your new
roof deductibles, I mean thousands of dollars out of your pocket.
Why not save the deductible, keep the insurance check and
finance the roof over fifteen years.

Speaker 5 (16:03):
Makes a lot of sense, right.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
This keeps money in your pocket now and gets you
that famous quality Kangaroof. Scott and Stacy are good people
who have been helping our Central Texas community for over
twenty five years. This is just the latest example of
how much they care. Give them a call and ask
about buy now, pay later. They really hop to it
