📄 What’s harder—surviving a 3-day fast or resisting a Whataburger banana pudding shake?
In this episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew dives into cravings, comfort food, and the science (and struggle) of fasting. JB shares his experience with a 3-day fast and how it kickstarted a major health reset, while Sandy debates whether he can survive 36 hours without a midnight snack—especially with Ambien in the mix. The team also breaks down Austin’s top Whataburger orders, shares a genius “less bun, more meat” hack, and reacts to Guy Fieri’s latest Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives stop in East Austin. Plus, they explore the rise and fall of “breastaurants” like Bone Daddy’s and Twin Peaks, and why Hooters just isn’t what it used to be. Later, they celebrate the legacy of Waterloo Records, which is moving after decades at 6th & Lamar. The conversation turns nostalgic as they reflect on Austin’s local business culture, the return of vinyl, and the importance of shopping local to keep the city weird—and thriving.
