📣 “If your kid pushes every last nerve you’ve got… is it okay to flip them off behind their back?”
That’s just one of the hilariously honest questions Sandy and Tricia tackle in this episode of The Sandy Show. From parenting confessions to fashion trends and rat birth control, this hour is packed with laughs, surprises, and real talk. Tricia kicks things off with a brutally funny parenting truth, and Sandy shares a moment of fatherly frustration that every parent will relate to. The duo then dives into a bizarre but fascinating story out of Chicago: scientists are testing plant-based birth control on rats after a beloved owl family dies from poisoned prey. It’s weird, it’s wild—and it’s real. Fashion takes center stage as Sandy and Tricia debate the return of the visible bra strap trend, and Tricia reveals her favorite (and least sexy) undergarments. Sandy’s take? “I’m more focused on underpants.” Enough said. Later, they explore the “career lily pad”—a Gen Z alternative to the corporate ladder—and why it might be smarter than it sounds. Plus, Sandy reacts to the end of Seattle’s Nirvana exhibit, and Tricia drops the official Song of the Summer 2025 (spoiler: Sandy’s never heard of it).
👤 Guest Insight While there’s no formal guest this hour, Tricia’s commentary shines as co-host and cultural compass. Her sharp wit and relatable takes on parenting, fashion, and pop culture make her the perfect foil to Sandy’s laid-back charm.
