🎧 “How do you buy an engagement ring for a billionaire?” That’s just one of the many questions JB, Sandy, and Tricia tackle in this wildly entertaining episode of The JB and Sandy Show.
From nostalgic throwbacks to 90s Austin radio and hilarious Babylon Bee satire, to a deep dive into the Zac Brown–Kendra Scott engagement, this episode is packed with laughs, memories, and a few creepy crawlers.
🌩️ Special Guest Alert: Kristen Currie, KXAN’s beloved morning meteorologist (and Austin’s “new girlfriend”), joins the crew to talk weather, life, and what it’s like waking up Austin every morning.
 🕷️ Terrifying Tidbit: Tricia drops a bombshell about a horde of giant tarantulas emerging across Texas in a mating frenzy. Yes, you read that right—softball-sized spiders on the move. “A horde of anything is terrifying,” Sandy declares, and we couldn’t agree more.
💍 Celebrity Scoop: The gang breaks down the engagement of country star Zac Brown and Austin jewelry mogul Kendra Scott. Tricia dishes on the three-carat pink diamond surrounded by 28 baguettes and wonders—how does one impress a billionaire with a ring?
🎬 Pop Culture Picks: From Almost Famous to The Electric Horseman, the crew reminisces about iconic films and the immersive magic of Las Vegas’ Sphere, where concerts and classics like The Wizard of Oz come to life in 360°. 💬 Memorable Quotes:
 📢 Call to Action: Love what you heard? Don’t keep it to yourself!
