📣  “Is binge-watching making us smarter—or just sleep-deprived?”

That’s the question at the heart of this lively and relatable episode of The JB and Sandy Show. Sandy, JB, and Tricia dive into the psychology of binge-watching, the evolution of TV consumption, and the surprising ways simple habits can make you seem like a genius. From the emotional rollercoaster of Dexter and Game of Thrones to Tricia’s ever-growing “To Watch” list (including the John Candy doc and AKA Charlie Sheen), the crew explores how streaming has transformed storytelling—and our weekends. Key Themes & Highlights:
  • The science behind binge-watching and memory retention
  • Trisha’s first binge: Dexter—and why it changed everything
  • JB’s take on emotional intelligence and the power of pausing before reacting
  • Keyboard shortcuts, grammar rules, and the subtle signs of intelligence
  • Why speaking calmly, typing without looking, and knowing geography can make you look brilliant
Memorable Moments:
  • “I just don’t want a knee-jerk reaction. I’ve got to let this process.”
  • “If someone has bad grammar, I wonder how they’ve made it this far.”
  • “Double space after a period? That’s how you know someone’s old.”
  • “People don’t blink at Spanish in Texas—but German? Minds blown.”
