📄 In this wild and wonderfully unpredictable episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew is joined by their Friday regular, Steven Presley of Thunderpop TV, for a deep dive into the latest entertainment headlines—and some truly bizarre personal stories.
 The show opens with the breaking news of Hulk Hogan’s passing at 71, sparking a heartfelt and hilarious conversation about wrestling legends, the toll of the sport, and JB’s surreal story of being on a speedboat with Ric Flair and Lance Armstrong… and FaceTiming Hulk Hogan. Yes, really.
From there, the gang tackles the box office performance of the new Superman film, its surprising underperformance overseas, and director James Gunn’s controversial take on rising anti-American sentiment. Sandy doesn’t hold back, launching into a fiery (and funny) defense of American cinema: “Watch your own crappy movies!” And of course, it wouldn’t be a 2025 pop culture roundup without talking about Pedro Pascal, who seems to be in every movie this summer. Tricia swoons, Steven breaks down his rise, and everyone agrees: it’s the Summer of Pedro.
