    Next time Andy's on, ask him what did he tell his family.? "Oh, hey mom and dad, I'm going to go on a two year holiday, call you when I can."

    On another interview he said he told them that he works in the "foreign service" which is a great answer..and almost not even lying. That's what's so cool about this guy, every interview I've seen of his so far, it's always slightly different. Too often I've seen interview with a person and from interview to interview it's almost like they have lines that they are reciting...Andrews interviews (I've listened to pretty much all of them so far) it's always different topics and you find out a little more, to have to not go into detail about a lot of things, he goes into depth on what he cans, super intelligent dude. This interview for instance, it's a lot of new stuff that I haven't heard from the other interviews.

    I appreciate that man. I enjoyed him on Lex Fridman's podcast and invited him on. I definitely learned a lot more about him since Lex didn't get into his military career as much. Thanks for checking out the show 🤙🏼
