🎙️ “Are you working out for me—or to leave me?”

That’s the provocative question Tricia throws at Sandy in this hilarious and heartfelt episode of The Sandy Show. What starts as a playful jab about Sandy’s new fitness routine quickly spirals into a candid conversation about aging, marriage, and the looming 20-year “state of the union” check-in. Sandy opens up about his motivation to stay fit—not for dating, but for longevity and independence in later life. He shares admiration for his 67-year-old friend Scott, who’s wake surfing post-liver transplant, and reflects on his own health journey, injuries, and the desire to avoid his father’s aging struggles. Meanwhile, Tricia brings her signature wit and warmth, challenging Sandy’s views on grandparenting, reminiscing about their wild day-drinking adventures in Amsterdam, and revealing their quirky love language—mockery, middle fingers, and sitcom-worthy banter.

Key Moments:
  • 💪 Sandy’s fitness journey and Tricia’s theory about his “exit strategy”
  • 🏄‍♂️ The inspiring story of Scott, the 67-year-old wake surfer
  • 👶 A debate on grandkids: Tricia’s excitement vs. Sandy’s reluctance
  • 🚨 “Stories We Love”: A neighbor blasts train horns to spite the police

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Tricia explained, explain to the nice people listening.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
All right, I was laying in my bed the other day.
I have to lay down right now because I have
a back injury. For those of you keeping up with
my injuries, this is number three it is.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
You're falling apart.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
I know fifty four is not being nice to me,
that's for sure. So you came in and you were
getting ready to go somewhere, and I said, oh, you
were scuffy.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
You hadn't shaved yet.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, And I go, I see you got yourself all
nice and shine up wherever you're going.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
And you're like, well, no, I didn't shave, but I
do look good, don't I.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
I go your clothes and you went like, no, my body,
And I was like, you actually do are looking pretty good.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
And then I was like, wait a minute.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Are you doing all of this working out and getting
in shape and building muscle and taking all this stuff
because you you are going to bail out? Will we
get to our twenty year State of the marriage meeting
in two years?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Thank you?

Speaker 1 (00:52):
So your theory is that I've been working out like
a maniac, eating right, taking the supplements. Yeah, so I'm
prepared at the twenty year mark, when we have our
state of the marriage and decide we're not we're going
to stay married, that I'll be prepared to go back
out into the dating world.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
You are preparing yourself to step out of the marriage.
You're you've apparently chosen to not renew the lease at
our twenty year state of the marriage meeting, and you're
getting all tight and tight and shiny and everything ready
to go out.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
And look for some ladies. I feel like that might
be what it.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Is, honestly, Tricia, Yeah, that thought never crossed my mind.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
But it's a good one.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Although I will not have the energy to go out
and chase any ladies, as you put it, chase them,
nor will I be interested. I just won't. I don't
want to put in the time that it requires to
woo somebody.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
I'm not interested. Done, worry, I'm done with dating. Oh
my god, No, thank you. No.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
So you're doing all this for me, No, I'm doing
it for me.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
I'm doing it so I'm still able to move around
when I'm seventy seventy five eighty years years old. I
want to be like my friend Scott, who I went
wakesurfing with over the weekend.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah, he was out there surfing.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
He's sixty seven years old and has had a liver
transplant yet.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
And I said to our daughter, who was with us,
I go, he.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Looks pretty good for a sixty seven year old dude
that's had a liver transfer.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
He was surfing and she's like, he's sixty seven. I go, yeah,
I don't really think sixty seven is that old. No,
but I mean he'll look that good when he's seventy seven. Yeah,
you know what I mean. Because he's worked out and
taking care of himself, Scotty would always look good.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
He is a handsome man, and he's got a sexy voice.
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
I talked to Scotty on the phone a lot, just
because I like to hear his voice.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
I easily could just text him stuff, Yeah, but I
call him instead, want to talk.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Doesn't want to hear his voice.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
So to answer your question, I am really one. I
am preparing myself for being older. I just don't. I've
seen what my dad goes through, and I don't want
to live like that.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Right, you want be able to crawl around with your grandchildren.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
I'm not I'm not interested. In any grandkids what I'm not.
I don't. I don't want any grand.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
You're gonna want grand kids, Sandy, I really don't. Well,
so what if our daughter has kids's anticipated?

Speaker 1 (03:06):
It's like get a rusher into it, like you are
you want her to have a baby next year.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
I had a really late in life, so I needed
to get her knocked up early in life.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I don't want to be an old me mall that
can't handle my green I just don't want that kid
spend the night and yelling you're you're such a scrooge.
Yeah you really are. Really marry you. Okay, okay, a
good couple of years. Stick around.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
We've got more coming up on Austin's Aides station. One
o three point one out of two weeks till football season.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Very excited about that, Tricia.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
I I saw something on social media that said this
past Saturday was the last Saturday without football until January.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Oh really those games coming up this weekend?

Speaker 3 (03:50):
I guess. Yeah, that's interesting.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
I'm actually been texting with a buddy of mine in Nebraska,
and the thought crossed my mind of maybe going to
a Nebraska game, meeting him there this year.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
That'll be fun.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, I haven't been in twenty years probably, Yeah, so
that would be kind of fun.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
We'll see. Who knows. I went to University Nebraska. For
those of you that are.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Wondering, Yes, it's been tough times the last decade or two,
but it's a good but I'll still be a fan.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
So give me a second. I get your button. Here, Here
we go, right this stories we la how good morning everyone,
and now from the Lester Hold Studios. It iss up sha.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
So this guy, I think he's gonna trump any bad
neighbors story you might have, although I have heard some
pretty bad ones. A man in the Los Angeles area
has been blasting train sounds from his house for months.
And I'm not talking about like a little kind of
airhorn that you push the button on. We're talking about
giant train horns that he installed honest property. He would

(04:57):
blast them multiple times a day. Some of them were
on on his roof. They keep going until they run
out of the air, so basically they run on air.
But he just turns them on and blastsom a few
times a day. And it's a legit train horn. So
the sound travels up to like three miles. Why Yeah,
neighbors been called the cops for months, months, but up

(05:17):
until this week, they didn't do anything about it.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
They'd come, they'd talked to the man, they'd leave.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Local news got involved, talk to the homeowner, this guy
named Gary.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
He admitted he's doing it intentionally.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Because he has a perfinal personal beef with the police,
is what he said?

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Really?

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yes, he said he's been harassed and threatened for years
by the long story short.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Finally the police had enough of it.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
They arrested him, he was charged, he was released, but
the noise should stop. Authority seize the train horns and
the burglar alarms from his home.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
So he was just being a jerk. He was just guy.
He was just mad. What crime was committing? A disturbance
of the piece?

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oh, I mean a train horn that's loud enough to
be heard for three miles, setting it off multiple times
a day in your neighborhood. Can you imagine the people
we lived right directly around it startling?

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Remember when it was kind of trendy for young dudes
to put those on their trucks and scare the crap
out of you the train horns on their No. Oh, buddy,
my son did it? He put it one of those
train horns on his truck, and I remember it was
like I probably, I don't know. I just remember scaring
the bejeebers out people with it. So that's a bad neighbor,

(06:25):
really bad neighbor. I thought on Saturday night, I was
gonna have to go talk to our neighbor because at
nine o'clock I heard the faint sounds of the Sugar
Hill Gang and Rappers Paradise, and I was like, oh
my gosh, and I can hear people talking and stuff
and in their backyard. My bedroom backs right up to
their backyard, and I was like, I'll give it till

(06:45):
ten o'clock and if it's still bad, I'll say something.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
By nine point thirty.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Was gone, Yeah, I feel like you're kind of a
jerk if you complained about music at nine o'clock.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Yeah, yeah, that's exactly why.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
So it's nine o'clock on Saturday night, you can't say
anything just because I want to go to sleep. Does
And by the time I turned on my TV watched
the way it was Colne.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
So they're good neighbors. They've lived here what about four
or five months?

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, that's my biggest my bit I don't care what
you're doing in your house living next door to.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Me, just be quiet.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
I like it because he's English and he gives me
hello mate.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yeah, I like the mate thing, you know what I mean.
I can't.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Americans can't get away with it. No, you can't, as
much as you try to. I've never tried, but I
remember guys like American guys on my rugby team. We
had foreigners from all over the world on the rugby team,
and then the Americans would try to use mate and
it didn't work. But the Australian South Africans, the English,
that was great with them, you know what I mean.
But the Americans doing it, it was like, stop doing that. Yeah,

(07:40):
we can't do it. We can't pull that off, right.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
So that is the story we love. She's Tricia.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
I'm Sandy Moore, coming up on what O three point one,
Austin's eighties station and streaming on the iHeartRadio app.

It's just I mean, I wake up every morning and I'm.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Like, what's wrong with me today? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (08:16):
I feel like I've been down and out playing hurt
for this whole year.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
So last time I'm gonna bring this up. And I'm
not gonna bring it up again because I know you're
tired of hearing about it. But I really think a cold,
five minute cold plunge would do you some good.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
I told you that I totally am willing to do that.
Let's go do it. Okay. I thought you're going to
plain about my cough. No, he can't control that. It's
annoying as.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Hell, but it's getting better. It's slowly going away. I've
been having had it for like a month now.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah, only a month. All right.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Here are the most common women's names in song titles.
We'll start with number three. Sally is like in.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Mustang, Sally lay down, Sally.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Clapped in the next one after that is any version
you want to pick of Susie, Susie Q, Susie with
a z R s U Z I E all right
Everly Brothers member Susie Q like CCR wake Up Little
Susie by the Everly Brothers. But the number one the song.

(09:16):
The women's name that appears most frequently in song titles
is Mary.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Wow. Yeah, immediately think of the Beatles song speaking words
of wisdom. Let's let it be.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
That's not in the title, but oh, that just meant
singing about it. Names in the titles of the.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Song right Proud Mary by c Cry the Wind Cries
Mary by Jimmy Hendrix, Mary James, Last Dance, Tom Pitty
and the Heartbreakers, you know that songs about the marijuana.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
I do you didn't? I didn't you really?

Speaker 1 (09:48):
I did. Other notable names include Ruby Rock, sand Rock,
and Johnny is the most common name overall in song
titles and being a dude with a girl's name. I
would hate it when people would sing there's a song
from Grease about Sandy.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Oh, I know John Travolta sings about her.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yes, yes, yes, yes yes, And it would drive me
nuts when people thought they were so clever.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah, when they would sing how's that song go? Can
you sing a little bit?

Speaker 2 (10:20):
I'm trying to think of it right now. I can
totally picturing him singing it. I feel like it was
when he was singing about their romance over the summer,
when he was in the bleachers.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
I can't remember that, no, but I've heard the songs
sometimes from my bedroom when I was a kid, my
sister playing it in the other room, and that's the
reason I did. There's so many movies and music artists
I cannot like because my sister like them. One of
them is The Police, another one is Prince, another one

(10:52):
is Olivia Newton John and another one is the Grease soundtrack,
just because my sister wore it out when.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
I was a kid. And oh god, that's another one,
and then Culture Club. It's basically all of the eighties.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
No, there's a lot of good stuff. The eighties music
didn't suck. It's just they played the wrong eighties music. Yeah,
you know what I'm saying. Yeah, they should have left
it up to me.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Oh god again.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
Married the name that appears most frequently in song titles,
She's Tricia. My name is Sandy.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
There you go. Are you going to sing the song?

Speaker 1 (11:28):
No?

Speaker 3 (11:29):
I like to, but I can't listen to it because
it'll be on the air, all right.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Stay with us. I've got three questions for Tricia. We
do it every Monday. It's called rapid Fire QNA. If
you're a brand new listener, it's a good chance to
get to know Tricia just a little bit.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Are you ready? I'm ready, Tricia.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
If our life was a sitcom, what would the title be?

Speaker 3 (11:51):
If our life is a sitcom? Oh gosh.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
The first thing that comes to mind is clean up
after yourself.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
That you're directing that towards me. It's ours, If.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
It's ours, it would have to maybe, perhaps it would
have to.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Be Only the strong survive.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
That's about right in our house, because our house is
not like any other house. Ye, scaring is one hundred
percent acceptable. Jumping out from a closet.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
Our love languages, mocking each other.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yeah, Sandy and I tell each other good night by
shooting the finger to each other.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
That's new, and I really like I know it is new.
It caught on quick. Yeah, I really like it.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Do not mispronounce a word in this house, because it
will be thrown in your face for the rest of
your life.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yes, exactly. Well, that's a good name. Only the strong,
Only the strong survive Tertia, if you could teleport us
anywhere for a spontaneous date night, where are we going?

Speaker 2 (12:50):
So I feel like that this should be a like
some exotic location, like if I could transport anywhere. But
I'm gonna pay something that we did back in the day.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
It was when you still drink.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
You have, You've been sober for almost ten years now,
and I sometimes miss day drinking with you because so
much fun.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Yeah, so we go like Amsterdam and day drink.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, sitting on the square in Amsterdam and eating and
sitting the same spot and just moving from one side
of the square to the other side of the square
when the sun was shining in our eyes and we
just sat there all day and just drank and watched.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
The world go by. Yes, yeah, those were a good times.
Should I start drinking again? No?

Speaker 3 (13:36):
If I just limited myself to drinking during the day, No, No,
oh my god. No, I'm not saying I wish you
drank again.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
I'm just sayings I sometimes miss being able to do
that with you.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Right, I'm sorry, I can't. No, You're fine.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
We would not be married anymore if you still did
That does sound fun, Yeah, but don't.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
Think about it. I mean we you know what, we could.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Have just as much fun drinking some sodas sitting in this,
sitting in the in the square.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
No we can, No, we can't, because drinking activates is
the low and sin's.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
All right.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Now, the random stupid question, would you rather fight one
giant duck or one hundred tiny rhinoceroses.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Rhinocey, I have no idea if that's what it is
or not. I'm gonna go with one giant duck. Really yes,
because I feel like you can concentrate on one thing
better than you can concentrate on keeping up with one
hundred things. Number one, Number two, the decks are really
way scarier than they actually are. Like, my grandparents had geese,

(14:41):
and for every time we walked out the back door,
I was terrified the geese would chase you and put
their next down in their arms up and squawk at
you and chase you.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
And finally my grandfather was like, turn around a kick.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
It, yeah, And I was like, what don't you show
them you're not afraid? Hey, they're kind of fragile animals.
I never exactly their bark is worse than their bite.
So also considering I took a little jiu jitsu, and
I'm really good at the throat punch.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yeah, I'm going after the duck. There you go.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
We've got a long target to throat punch a duck.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Right, you're right by the way, Tricia. Would you like
to know what a group of rhinos is called? Yes?

Speaker 3 (15:16):
Please? A crash, A crash.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
A crash of rhinos. I like that's better like that.
That's rapid fire. Q and a grab our
