🎙️ “Sold-Out Shows, Pet Donations to Lions & Why Houston Is the New Austin?”

from The JB and Sandy Show · host Sandy McIlree

“Would you donate your pet to a zoo… if it meant feeding a lion?”In this wild and wide-ranging episode of The JB and Sandy Show, the crew covers everything from Austin’s music scene to Denmark’s controversial zoo practices. Sandy kicks things off with a moment of self-reflection—feeling out of touch after missing a sold-out show at Antone’s by Austin music legend Adrian Quesada. JB drops some serious music knowledge, tracing Quesada’s journey from Grupo Fantasma to Black Pumas. Then, Tricia reveals a surprising trend: Houston is quickly becoming a top destination for Californians fleeing high costs. The crew debates why Houston’s appeal is rising, from business-friendly policies to cheaper housing—even if the zoning laws feel like the Wild West. But the most jaw-dropping moment comes from Denmark’s Aalborg Zoo, which is asking citizens to donate healthy pets to feed apex predators. Yes, really. The team reacts with shock, sarcasm, and a few dark jokes about guinea pig genocide and small horses on the menu.
