📄 "Is it possible that a Roman poet from 2,000 years ago still gives better dating advice than your favorite influencer?" In this wildly entertaining episode of The Sandy Show, Sandy McIlree and his wife and co-host Tricia deliver a mix of humor, heart, and unexpected wisdom. From the bizarre story of a DoorDash driver who helped foil a kidnapping in Sweetwater, Texas, to the timeless dating advice of ancient Roman poet Ovid, this episode is packed with moments that will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even rethink your grooming habits. Tricia shares her favorite laugh of the day—“I hope this email finds you eating dumplings”—while Sandy reflects on the agony of waiting for life-changing emails and the danger of praying for patience. The couple dives into Ovid’s surprisingly relevant tips for modern men, including hygiene essentials like nose hair maintenance and the importance of brushing your teeth. “If you’ve got a nose hair sticking out, that’s all I can see,” Tricia confesses.
