Man, this episode was only recorded last week and it already feels dated by who were the most recent deaths thanks to the even more recent deaths of Bruno Sammartino, Avicii, and Verne Troyer.
I can’t remember a week where so many celebs died within such a short amount of time.
I hear ya, Sal! If Ryan is open to it, he may be sharing his Verne Troyer story with us on this week’s episode!

Regarding Andy’s behavior last episode, especially when it came to Andy’s spoilers, it seemed like he was getting under Mack’s skin some. I don’t know Mack, so perhaps he felt nothing but love for Andy, but at points in the last episode, it sounded like he was speaking through gritted teeth, doing his best to keep from yelling at Andy. haha
I’m also calling BS on Andy and Jay claiming that Andy was on his best behavior. If you want to hear Andy at his best behaved, listen to the episodes where Natalie Pyles is a guest. You will never hear Andy being more respectful than when he’s interacting with Natalie. I don’t know if it’s because Andy just respects Natalie so much (She does have to put up with Jay, bless her soul ha) or he’s fearful of what Natalie will tell his wife, but for some unknown reason, Andy is perfectly behaved.
Ha ha ha You’re amazing, Sal! Yes, my buddy, Mack, has had to be very patient with Andy… But compared to the grief Andy gave Mack during Ep. 250, he was pretty tame this time around. Mack might hit Andy someday (since they’re both in Utah), and Andy would deserve it. I hope I’m there to see it, so I can laugh. ha ha
Regarding Natalie Pyles, you’re right again! She is a wonderful and lovely person, of course, but in some respects, she is to be feared. ha ha She’s the kind of gal who won’t hesitate to call out her husband’s buddies, if she deems it necessary. ha ha But yes, I think her friendship with Andy’s wife might also have something to do with it. Great insights. Are you an FBI profiler?

Andy was extremely rude to me on episode 250. My wife hates how Andy treats me on the podcast (I don’t love it either). I was tempted, and ready in fact, to challenge Andy this last time around. On episode 250 he was giving me a hard time for not having seen certain films, I was going duel him in a “have you seen it” round of sorts, should I have?
Hit Andy where it hurts. 3 words.

Mack – I’m sorry you were so offended. I honestly don’t remember episode 250, or your for that matter. We have lots of guests on the podcast, and I (as the character “Andy”) don’t treat anyone any different than I treat Ryan, Jason, or Karl. If you were offended, I’m sorry, and I assure you it wasn’t personal. I also assure you that the “Andy” character doesn’t really care, nor will your opinion of him make even the slightest bit of difference on his conduct moving forward. He’s been trying to get kicked off the show for the last five years. So, be aware of that going forward. If you don’t like podcasting with the “Andy” character, there are plenty of opportunities to guest host when he is gone, or grow thicker skin.
Ryan, I promise you I didn’t say anything negative about you, but Jay certainly made it sound that way. I’ll let you know that you’re the only host I send snaps to, so that should tell you something.
Yeah right, Juan! Ryan knows how you feel… You told him so during our meetup in Indiana… ha ha ha ha

Can’t wait to see Rampage. Jason thank you for reading my email. That made my day. Andy’s comment was funny. I have thought about moving lol. I have an uncle that lives in Arizona and I’d like to move there eventually. Tell Andy that not all of WV is like what he was talking about lol.
Andy’s just jealous, Andrew. He knows WV is “almost heaven.”

Jay, if you want to read Assassination Vacation, we have a copy at our house. Very excited that Andy likes that book so much!
