🎙️ Episode Title A Fighter Jet on Facebook?! Plus Award-Season Eye Rolls, Roller Coaster Terror & The End of Sprinkles 😱✈️🎬 📝 Episode Description Would you risk your life flying a decades-old fighter jet you bought on Facebook Marketplace? 🤔✈️
That jaw‑dropping question kicks off one of the most entertaining, wide‑ranging episodes of The Sandy Show, where everyday life collides with the absurd, the hilarious, and the downright unbelievable.

Sandy and Tricia dive headfirst into the wild discovery that someone is selling a real Polish fighter jet on Facebook Marketplace—for the same place most of us shop for “Live, Laugh, Love” signs. The reactions are priceless, the skepticism is real, and the mental images alone are worth the listen. 😂 “Who wakes up and thinks, where should I sell my fighter jet?”

From there, the episode takes its signature sharp turns—starting with a relatable showdown over taking down Christmas decorations 🎄 (and the emotional pleas of a teenager who’s not ready to let go). Tricia’s candid honesty and Sandy’s quick wit turn a simple household debate into a laugh-out-loud moment every parent will recognize.

Award season gets a no‑nonsense reality check 🎬 as the duo breaks down Golden Globe nominees that seem tailored more for “artsy film people” than regular humans. A standout moment? Sandy and Tricia reminiscing about Joe Pesci’s legendary ultra‑short Oscar acceptance speech—proof that sometimes less really is more. Iconic.

👏 Hold on tight, because things escalate fast when they discuss the tallest, fastest, longest roller coaster in the world 😳—standing 650 feet tall and ripping along at 155 miles per hour. Tricia is out. Sandy might be in. Listeners will absolutely pick sides.

There’s also a surprising dose of nostalgia and disappointment as they react to the sudden shutdown of Sprinkles Cupcakes 🧁—and ask the hard question: Was it really an amazing cupcake, or were we just hypnotized by the vending machine?

The episode wraps with a surprisingly fascinating conversation about what actually happens to old tires—and how states like Texas are literally paving roads with them 🚗🛣️. Less road noise? Stronger pavement? Turns out tires never really retire.

This episode perfectly captures the heart of The Sandy Show—smart, funny, curious, and full of those “wait…what?!” moments that make you feel like you’re hanging out with friends who always have the best stories.
