“Would you ever lean in to sniff a penguin’s butt—just to see what it smells like?” That’s the wild question that kicks off this episode of The Sandy Show, where curiosity, laughter, and real-life moments collide in the most unexpected ways. Join Sandy and Tricia as they dive into a whirlwind of topics that will have you laughing, nodding in agreement, and maybe even questioning your own Thanksgiving side dish loyalties. From the bizarre (an aquarium in Japan where visitors can literally smell animal butts!) to the relatable (parental worries, side hustles, and the eternal debate over stuffing vs. mashed potatoes), this episode is packed with stories that capture the essence of everyday life—with a hilarious twist. Highlights & Key Moments

  • Parenting & Worry: Sandy and Trisha get real about the universal anxieties of raising kids, sharing heartfelt reflections and the wisdom passed down from their own parents.
  • Iconic Movie Quotes: Test your pop culture knowledge as the hosts count down the most legendary movie lines of all time, from “May the force be with you” to “You shall not pass!”—and debate which classics were snubbed.
