  • Listen, you’ll enjoy it!

    I loved this show every week and Andy is a calm voice in this storm of chaos that is our world today. He’s a great listener and offers humor and words of wisdom from a guy who’s been funny since he could speak. I’m his cousin and he is who he sounds like, a gem of a person. Listen to his show, you’ll be hooked. Love ya Andy!

  • when you have so little to say ...

    ... why do you host a podcast? besides "yeah, yeah, yeah" and "right, right, right" this guy has nothing important or interesting to contribute to a conversation. still ... he always interrupts the guest and just wants to hear himself talking (without saying anything that matters) - instead of really listening and interact with his guest. super shallow, super unnecessary.
