”Our Ideas to Fix Austin”

 📖  What’s the one thing you’d change about Austin—if you had a magic wand?

In this hilarious and thought-provoking episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew dives into the quirky obsessions Americans just can’t quit—from overflowing water bottle cabinets to Pokémon card addictions that rack up six-figure debt. Then, things get even more fun as Sandy, Tricia, and JB brainstorm the most outrageous (and oddly brilliant) ways to improve life in Austin. From self-destructing e-scooters and lazy rivers on Mopac to Bob Ross–style billboards and mandatory cowboy hats for new residents, no idea is too weird—or too wonderful. The team also shares personal stories about fast fashion, book hoarding, and the emotional rollercoaster of opening Pokémon packs. Key moments include:

• 🧃 Why Americans can’t stop buying water bottles—and the Stanley vs. Yeti debate
• 📚 Tricia’s confession: buying books for the smell, not the story
• 💳 A couple’s $100,000 Pokémon card debt and the psychology behind the obsession
• 🛴 The case for explosive e-scooters and cowboy hats for newcomers
• 🎨 Bob Ross billboards, piñata parking meters, and a tie-dye Capitol dome
• 🛶 Turning Mopac into a lazy river (yes, really)
