“If you could pick a new name for yourself, what would it be—and what story would it tell?” That’s just one of the questions that launches this lively episode of The Sandy Show, where hosts Sandy McIlree and Tricia dive deep into the quirks, memories, and unexpected moments that shape who we are. Tricia, co-host and quick-witted conversationalist, brings her signature energy to the table, challenging Sandy with rapid-fire questions that reveal everything from childhood treasures (like a beloved, slightly broken polar bear trophy) to the surprising origins of lifelong friendships. Listeners will laugh along as Sandy confesses to hiding old magazines, reminisces about his swim team days, and debates the merits of names like Magnus, Bruce, and Kirby—all while Tricia keeps him honest and the banter flowing. This episode isn’t just about laughs. Sandy and Tricia reflect on the bonds of friendship, the chaos of family life, and the nostalgia that comes with revisiting old memories. From hilarious tales of mistaken bravado (like claiming to swim before knowing how) to heartfelt discussions about parenting and the sentimental value of childhood keepsakes, every moment is packed with warmth and relatability.
