Description

“When you hear ‘Yacht Rock,’ what’s the first band or musician that comes to mind?”

That’s how JB and Sandy kick off this episode, sparking a nostalgic and hilarious debate about the music that defined a generation—and the labels artists love to hate. From Christopher Cross to Steely Dan, the crew dives deep into the world of smooth tunes, local legends, and the quirky history of Austin’s music scene. But the episode doesn’t stop at music. JB and Sandy, joined by Tricia, take listeners on a whirlwind tour of Austin’s weirdest news, including the story of a Travis County correctional officer arrested for smuggling… chicken wings! The team can’t help but laugh at the absurdity, pondering whether the real crime is not paying officers enough or just having a side hustle as a “wing smuggler.”

Other highlights include:
  • Zilker Park’s post-ACL transformation: How Austin City Limits Festival gives back to the city and why disc golf fans feel left out.
  • The rise of magicians at adult birthday parties: JB and Sandy explore the trend, share personal stories, and even search for Austin’s best magicians for hire—including the unforgettable “Peter the Adequate Magician.”
  • Clown sightings in Austin: From Balloonatik to Doodle Bug, discover the strange world of professional clowns living in Barton Springs and the surreal experience of seeing them drive by on a Saturday morning.
  • Family, nostalgia, and music: Touching memories of Nat King Cole Christmas albums, Bee Gees hits, and the magic of Elvis duets.
Notable Quotes:
  • “Guys, the longer you’re married, the unfunnier you become.”
  • “He was suspended without pay. He has since been fired and has been arrested for chicken wings.”
  • “Four clowns living around you, it’s like you’re in a nightmare.”
