[00:00:42] Speaker C: Handy Andy.
[00:00:43] Speaker A: Handy and do people call you that?
[00:00:46] Speaker C: I feel like I don't know why we just now thought of that. We just now thought of that. That's 35 years to come up with that name.
[00:00:51] Speaker A: That popped into my head.
[00:00:53] Speaker C: Handy Andy, huh? It'd be like if you were friends with Jim Dandy.
[00:00:57] Speaker B: Oh, Lordy, I wouldn't like it.

[00:01:01] Speaker C: Cheers.

Brad, what are you drinking?
[00:01:09] Speaker C: Nueve uno. It's a fantastic.
[00:01:13] Speaker A: The way it's spelled out on the bottle, it's one word.
[00:01:16] Speaker C: Yeah, Nueva Uno.
[00:01:17] Speaker A: Yeah, that's my 9:1, right?
[00:01:19] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm learning my Spanish the last show. I had it right, too. I taught you something.
[00:01:23] Speaker A: Nailed it.
[00:01:24] Speaker C: You see up here, it says it was made in 1991. So when they formed the company.
[00:01:27] Speaker A: I like their logo. It's a letter N with a one down the middle of it.
[00:01:30] Speaker C: That's very cool. All traditional made tequila. I've got a brand interview at this point. It'll already be out, but coming up on Tuesday with Alex, the brand manager. And I'm really excited to learn more about this authentically made, fantastic tequila. And so far, I'm drinking the repo double oak and it's really good.
[00:01:50] Speaker A: Okay. Did you hook Andy up with that, too?
[00:01:53] Speaker C: I did. No. I hooked Andy up with a little bit of different Don Vicente. Don Vicente. High proof.
[00:01:59] Speaker B: Back up there.
[00:02:00] Speaker C: Nom. 1579.
Made strictly with their well water instead of their rainwater and their spring water.
[00:02:08] Speaker A: Huh.
[00:02:09] Speaker C: So just made with 1579 well water. It's a really good. Really super good. High, high proof, huh?
[00:02:16] Speaker B: That is good.
[00:02:17] Speaker A: Good.
[00:02:17] Speaker C: Did you like it?
[00:02:18] Speaker B: Yeah, I did.
[00:02:19] Speaker C: Yeah. It's right up there with your favorites, isn't it?
[00:02:21] Speaker B: It is one of my favorites. That Fortaleza, you know, Portales is really good.
[00:02:25] Speaker C: Yeah, it's good stuff. I put it on a place that's hard to get off the shelf on purpose.
Like it. It would be located above the Real Estate Makes Us Drink logo in the top corner.
[00:02:38] Speaker A: Like that logo. Look at that thing.
[00:02:39] Speaker C: Well, I'm talking. Not that one. I'm just looking at a logo, but the other one.
[00:02:43] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:02:44] Speaker C: Yeah, I like that one.
[00:02:45] Speaker A: Talking about the black logo.
[00:02:46] Speaker C: Yeah. Over Fort Delisa would be above that. There we go. That corner. Okay.
[00:02:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:02:51] Speaker C: So it's really hard for me to.
[00:02:52] Speaker A: Get to unreachable for you short people.
[00:02:53] Speaker C: Yeah, I have to have like a cherry.
[00:02:55] Speaker A: I'd need a step stool as well.
All right, so today I have. This was. I think I also got this one at jungle gyms. Cougar. Cougar Country Boy Brewing, which is located apparently in Georgetown, Kentucky. It is cougar bait.
[00:03:08] Speaker C: Oh, cougar bait.
[00:03:09] Speaker A: Not American Blonde Ale. No, not Cougar Catcher.
[00:03:13] Speaker C: So if you drink that, then all of the wild single older moms are going to be like, damn.
[00:03:19] Speaker A: Yeah, that's exactly how it works.
[00:03:20] Speaker C: Gotta get me some Brian, huh?
[00:03:22] Speaker A: Yep.
I often will laugh at my wife and just call her old and. But she's younger than I am, so she's not even a cougar. To me. I find it kind of comical. However, this is described as. Any fisherman worth his salt will tell you it's all about the bait. I don't fish.
[00:03:40] Speaker C: Well, I will tell you that when it comes to selling your house, it's all about the agent.
[00:03:44] Speaker A: Hey, your transitions are incredible.
[00:03:47] Speaker C: Oh, they're amazing. I feel like Simone Biles, the way I stretch those out.
[00:03:51] Speaker A: Really, really dang. Again, that's. That's a reach.
[00:03:58] Speaker C: Sometimes you're doing mental gymnastics the whole time. So you are.

[00:04:29] Speaker C: Don't, don't. Don't forget that if you have that honeydew list that you just haven't been able to finish in the house, or you need those new cabinets in the kitchen, or that bathroom looks like it's been there since 1974, Andy's your guy. He loves doing bathroom remodels.
[00:04:43] Speaker A: Handy Andy.
[00:04:44] Speaker B: That's right. We can do it all.
[00:04:45] Speaker A: All Right. Andy, let's get some background about you.
You and Brad, first of all have been friends for a while.
[00:04:52] Speaker C: 100 years.
[00:04:53] Speaker B: Quite a while.
[00:04:54] Speaker A: So. Wow, 100 years.
[00:04:55] Speaker C: 100 years.
[00:04:56] Speaker B: 30.
[00:04:57] Speaker A: Okay. All right.
[00:04:58] Speaker C: Probably more like 30.
[00:04:59] Speaker A: How did you guys meet?
[00:05:00] Speaker C: Children.
[00:05:01] Speaker A: Oh, really?
[00:05:02] Speaker B: That's what I think. Yeah. Kids were on softball team, baseball team back in the day.
[00:05:07] Speaker C: It's a long time ago.
[00:05:09] Speaker A: You're not one of the racing dads?
[00:05:11] Speaker B: Nope.
[00:05:11] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:05:12] Speaker B: Nope. Never did get into the racing.
[00:05:14] Speaker C: Lucky.
[00:05:14] Speaker A: Probably went to see some races.
[00:05:16] Speaker B: I've seen the Indy 500 come down.
[00:05:18] Speaker A: Okay. That counts for seeing racing, I suppose.
[00:05:22] Speaker B: I saw one of your races at the, at the Dome. You came to the two, two wheel stuff.
[00:05:28] Speaker C: Now I'm going to get you to supercross here.
It'd be fun.
[00:05:32] Speaker A: Me too.
[00:05:33] Speaker C: You're coming too?
[00:05:34] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:05:35] Speaker C: Like a redneck holiday.
[00:05:37] Speaker A: Oh, bring my cougar bait for the redneck holiday.
[00:05:42] Speaker C: Probably have a bunch of 50 year old women all over him.
[00:05:46] Speaker A: Got to be great.
[00:05:47] Speaker C: Syphilis.
[00:05:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Excellent. Okay, so beyond being friends with Brad for a while, how did you get to where you are now? Handyman guy?
[00:05:58] Speaker B: Handyman guy?
I don't know, Pretty much self taught. I grew up in a home right next to my grandmother.
Grandpa passed away when I was a little kid, but my uncle had his cabinet making shop right next door to our house. So I come home from work and I'd pester him and kind of see what he was doing. Probably move his tools around and get in trouble.
He'd lock the door for the night and I'd go back over there and I'd get in trouble the next day. But that's kind of where the love for woodworking part of it came about. But then over the years I've struggling trying to figure out what I wanted to do for a living after high school. So started repairing typewriters for a couple years because that's where my brother worked and it.
[00:06:45] Speaker C: Wait, we're on the Internet? We might need to explain what a typewriter is.
[00:06:49] Speaker B: Typewriter?
[00:06:51] Speaker A: How about if you don't know what a typewriter is, Google it. Google it.
[00:06:54] Speaker B: Google it.
[00:06:55] Speaker A: I think our audience may be old enough to remember.
[00:06:57] Speaker C: Yeah, okay. You're probably right. I guess you're right.
[00:07:00] Speaker B: Yeah. But anyhow, you know, I always thought I was going to be a farmer. And then I ended up being fixing typewriters, not making any money. And a buddy of mine said, why don't you try out for the fire department? So I did in 1988 and got hired on the Indianapolis Fire Department.
[00:07:16] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:07:17] Speaker B: And spent 35 years there.
Those same 35 years since I worked a 2448 schedule. My 48 hours off. I always worked either remodeling or building custom homes or it's a thing to do with the house.
[00:07:34] Speaker A: It's a great career to have a side job. Hence a second career. All happening at the same time.
[00:07:40] Speaker B: Exactly. Right.
[00:07:41] Speaker A: My brother in law is a firefighter in Illinois and was that right? He has a full time job outside of being a firefighter where he's the captain of the. Of the firehouse. So. But he makes really good money because you know, got the two full time jobs.
[00:07:55] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:07:56] Speaker C: And work for it.
[00:07:56] Speaker B: You can make money.
[00:07:58] Speaker C: Second fireman on the show.
[00:07:59] Speaker A: Yeah. I was actually going to ask if they knew each other.
[00:08:02] Speaker C: I don't know if you met Phil. Met Phil Penn. Did you? My friend Phil from Wabash.
[00:08:06] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:08:06] Speaker C: Okay. So. So what's really cool is. And he'll, he'll, he'll deny it or act really humble like Phil and would too. But you know, we've had two people that qualify are classified as heroes that are here on our show today.
[00:08:22] Speaker A: Thank you.
[00:08:22] Speaker C: And Brian is not one of them.
But he may have taught one someday. But firemen are the true heroes. They're the people that when there's a tragedy, they run towards it. When there's a fire, they run in it. When you're hurt, they run at you where the rest of us flee.
[00:08:39] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:08:40] Speaker C: So it's really important. I appreciate what you.
[00:08:43] Speaker B: Well, thank you.
[00:08:43] Speaker C: I've done. I think it's awesome.
[00:08:44] Speaker B: Thank you. Thank you.
[00:08:45] Speaker A: And you are retired firefighter at this point?
[00:08:49] Speaker B: One year. Retired this time last year.
[00:08:52] Speaker A: So how long did you do that?
[00:08:53] Speaker B: 35 years. Yep.
[00:08:55] Speaker C: But there was a good one. And they called you. You'd suit up and run into it, wouldn't you?
[00:08:59] Speaker B: I would. I wouldn't want to. Now do miss that.
[00:09:02] Speaker C: You would. But you'd be bitching about it the whole time.
[00:09:05] Speaker B: Damn it.
[00:09:06] Speaker A: Hazard the second thoughts. Previously it was my job.
[00:09:10] Speaker B: That's right. Now I do miss that part of it. That's for sure. But the old body says it's time to move on to something a little easier.
[00:09:18] Speaker C: So building a house or doing home remodeling, that's easier.
[00:09:21] Speaker B: Put a tool belt back on.
[00:09:23] Speaker C: There you go. Put a tool belt back on.
[00:09:24] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:09:25] Speaker C: So Mount Comfort, McCordville. That's like been your home front forever, right?
[00:09:30] Speaker B: Yep. I grew up in Mount Comfort. Went to school at Mount Vernon High School. Worked for all the local Farmers as I went through high school, thought I would do that for the rest of my life.
Farmer I worked for said, no, you're not going to work for me, you're going to college. So he paid for me to go to Purdue for this 8 week AG course. To introduce yourself to college.
[00:09:56] Speaker A: No thank really for me.
[00:09:58] Speaker C: Me either.
[00:09:59] Speaker B: So came back to using my hands and learning how to fix and repair homes. So that's what I love to do now.
[00:10:07] Speaker C: So in the home remodeling business, what's the craziest thing that you've been asked to do in somebody's house?
Unless you don't want to tell, then you don't have to.
[00:10:19] Speaker B: So we'll stick with the construction, right?
[00:10:21] Speaker C: Yeah, I did the construction part. Yeah, please. I don't, I don't know if you've.
[00:10:24] Speaker B: Got a call when you said in somebody's house.
The craziest thing, like if you built.
[00:10:34] Speaker C: Something odd or weird or.
[00:10:35] Speaker A: Yeah, amazing.
[00:10:37] Speaker B: We did a three story room addition on a show home up in Muncie and they were on a golf course.
They had two children that moved out and they wanted to add on a three story room addition. It was amazing.
[00:10:55] Speaker A: But they did not realize they lived in Muncie.
[00:10:57] Speaker B: Exactly. Like what do we do on a golf course though?
But they, they wanted this oval shaped tub right in the middle of their bathroom with French doors that led out to the golf course out back. And this oval shaped thing that looked the same as a tub mounted to the ceiling. And then they had a local artist come in. And I think that was kind of one of the oddest.
[00:11:24] Speaker C: That. That sounds odd.
[00:11:26] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:27] Speaker A: Interesting. Do you know what the golf course was?
[00:11:30] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:11:30] Speaker A: Which golf course?
[00:11:32] Speaker B: I can't remember the name, but I know exactly where it's at.
[00:11:35] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:11:36] Speaker B: And she was pretty. Yes.
[00:11:37] Speaker C: Oh, there you go. Was there any mirrors on the ceiling?
[00:11:41] Speaker B: No, no mirrors in there.
[00:11:43] Speaker C: I have all the mirrors on the ceiling. Those for me though?
[00:11:48] Speaker B: I believe that one.
[00:11:49] Speaker C: He says he believes. Ella, Andy's done a lot of tequila tasting with me.
[00:11:54] Speaker A: I. Were you recently in Cancun?
[00:11:58] Speaker C: No, Cabo, baby.
[00:12:00] Speaker B: Went to Cabo.
[00:12:01] Speaker A: And I believe I saw a tequila tasting video from Cop.
[00:12:05] Speaker C: Yeah, Andy's actually been on several of the tasting tequila with Brad videos and he has. He is quite the hankering for good tequila now.
[00:12:13] Speaker B: Well, I have learned to enjoy it. But I don't have near the vocabulary Brad does about tequila.
[00:12:19] Speaker C: I say most of the shit wrong.
[00:12:21] Speaker A: I know.
[00:12:21] Speaker C: Yeah, you correct me a lot. But it's been, it's a Fun little journey learning about it, isn't it?
[00:12:26] Speaker B: It is.
[00:12:27] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:12:27] Speaker B: It really is.
[00:12:28] Speaker C: I can't get Brian on. He's more, you know, wanting to be cougar bait.
[00:12:32] Speaker B: Well, I don't even know you're there.
I was a beer guy. Still enjoy beer. But for some reason, the older I got, the more beer I drank. I get headaches.
[00:12:42] Speaker A: Huh. Interesting.
[00:12:43] Speaker B: It really is. So I don't like the headache part. And for some reason, tequila doesn't give me the headache.
[00:12:49] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:12:50] Speaker C: It. It doesn't give you.
[00:12:51] Speaker B: Explain that one.
[00:12:52] Speaker A: I. I cannot. My medical license expired last week, so I cannot help you.
[00:12:58] Speaker C: A medical license.
[00:12:59] Speaker B: All right.
[00:12:59] Speaker A: No.
[00:13:00] Speaker C: You go to school in Guam.
[00:13:02] Speaker B: Driver license.
[00:13:04] Speaker A: So in terms of construction projects, do you have a specialty?
[00:13:11] Speaker B: No.
[00:13:12] Speaker A: No.
[00:13:12] Speaker B: I wish I did.
[00:13:13] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:13:14] Speaker B: I really do wish I did. I said over all the years, if I could focus on one thing, I might be able to be more successful, but I don't. I pretty much cast the net.
[00:13:24] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:24] Speaker B: Anything you need done on your home, I can take care of it for you.
[00:13:27] Speaker A: All right. Let me shift slightly. Do you have one that you prefer over others? Like lay in tile, Woodworking.
[00:13:34] Speaker B: Mine's woodworking. I love to do any type of built in cabinetry or interior trim on a home. I enjoy that.
[00:13:44] Speaker A: It's okay. You're here on the east side of town. McCordsville, Greenfield, you know, plan. Not Plainfield, New Pal.
Do you venture beyond the east side of town?
[00:13:57] Speaker B: We do. We do.
[00:13:58] Speaker A: You go where the money is.
[00:13:59] Speaker B: We try to stay. Marion, Hancock, Hamilton counties.
[00:14:03] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:14:03] Speaker B: It's kind of where.
[00:14:04] Speaker A: And you say we.
[00:14:05] Speaker C: Who's the we?
[00:14:07] Speaker B: The guys work with me.
[00:14:09] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:14:09] Speaker B: I guess. And then subs and. But I've pretty much ran my own thing. The after I retired though, I hooked up with a partner. And we're also doing some property management on the side, so.
[00:14:25] Speaker A: All right.
[00:14:25] Speaker B: We currently got 75 units that we manage and we do all the maintenance and fix up for them for the homeowners and try to turn into a good little gig for us as well. So.
[00:14:37] Speaker C: Very good property management and Handy Andy.
[00:14:42] Speaker B: Kind of works hand in hand.
[00:14:43] Speaker A: It does say. It does.
[00:14:45] Speaker C: So you guys looking to add or purchase any new rental properties?
[00:14:49] Speaker B: We did. We're in the process of purchasing one right now, but we would. Our goal was to try to at least purchase one or two each year as we started career.
[00:15:00] Speaker A: Yeah, too.
[00:15:01] Speaker C: Too bad they don't know a mortgage in real estate, guy.
[00:15:04] Speaker A: Yeah, I would imagine at this point they're probably good.
[00:15:08] Speaker C: I think you're fine. Yeah. They're fine.
[00:15:10] Speaker B: Still, it's always we're trying to find that next house so you can make a little bit of money on it. Either fix it up and flip it and sell it or keep it as a long term rental. That's kind of what our. What we'd really like to do is be able to do that in a different state.
Like buy a house in Florida or Colorado, something like that, as a long term rental, but then also as a vacation home for us if we need a spot to go to. We'll see what the future brings there.
[00:15:41] Speaker A: Great idea.
[00:15:42] Speaker C: That is a great idea. Buy a house someplace where you're going to vacation, right?
[00:15:46] Speaker A: Boom.
[00:15:47] Speaker B: There you go.
[00:15:48] Speaker C: Where would you vacation at, Brian?
[00:15:51] Speaker A: I'm a Florida guy.
[00:15:52] Speaker C: Are you?
[00:15:52] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:15:53] Speaker C: What part of Florida?
Panhandle.
[00:15:56] Speaker A: No, actually I don't know that I've ever been to the panhandle of Florida for vacation.
[00:16:00] Speaker B: He probably wants to go to the amusement parks. Orlando.
[00:16:03] Speaker A: I. I like Orlando. My parents don't live that far from there, so I guess I'm a little biased. But I don't care about the beach. It. I mean, I will go and sit on the beach. My wife likes that more than I do. But that does not really interest me.
[00:16:16] Speaker C: You seem to be maybe more attracted to big headed characters.
[00:16:20] Speaker A: Correct?
[00:16:21] Speaker B: Well, he won't get sunburnt down there, right? For sure.
[00:16:24] Speaker A: Take the big giant hat with me. Keep the sun off my face and Evan, not the rest of me.
Anyway, yes, I do like the amusement parks down there, sir. I, I'm fine with Disney and I'm fine with Universal Studios. So there.
[00:16:40] Speaker C: Hey, my son works at amusement park, so I'm, I'm.
[00:16:43] Speaker A: I've been to the one he used to work at.
[00:16:45] Speaker C: Yeah, you need to go to Anakeesta now and go see him there at Gatlinburg.
[00:16:49] Speaker A: What's Anakeesta? Cinema.
[00:16:52] Speaker C: Kind of. You go up into the mountains and there's. I don't know. He's the head bear shoer. That's all he does. Shoe bears all day long.
But yeah, there's restaurants, no bears. He's. Get out of here.
[00:17:04] Speaker B: I thought he's putting shoes on bear.
[00:17:06] Speaker C: No, he shoes the bear.
[00:17:07] Speaker A: Well, you wouldn't put a horseshoe on a bear. It'd be a bear shoe.
[00:17:09] Speaker C: It would be a bear.
[00:17:10] Speaker B: What? He said he's a bear shoer.
[00:17:12] Speaker C: Do they have club feet?
[00:17:15] Speaker A: I don't think so.
[00:17:16] Speaker C: How do they get their toenails in the shoe? That's what I want to know.
[00:17:18] Speaker A: Well, you gotta. He probably has to trim the nails first, probably.
[00:17:22] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:17:22] Speaker B: They.
[00:17:23] Speaker C: So Anakeast is a. You take a gondola up in the top of the mountains. It's got lots of lights, and there's restaurant up there, and there's like, oh, all kinds of games and stuff.
[00:17:31] Speaker A: That's for Stephanie. Quinlan would love.
[00:17:33] Speaker C: She'd dig it. Yep.
[00:17:34] Speaker A: Let's go, Stephanie. We're going.
[00:17:36] Speaker C: Logan, what time you get off?
[00:17:37] Speaker A: Gatlinburg. You say?
[00:17:38] Speaker C: Gatlinburg? Yeah, Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Home of moonshine.
[00:17:41] Speaker A: When I go, I'm going to let Logan know we're coming.
[00:17:44] Speaker C: He'll be fired up to have you.
[00:17:45] Speaker A: Excellent.
[00:17:45] Speaker C: You can help him. Shoe bears.
[00:17:47] Speaker A: Whoa.
Stephanie would totally do that.
[00:17:51] Speaker C: I could see him walking you into someplace like, hey, Brian, this scenario where these bears and then run out and leave you in there.
[00:17:58] Speaker A: And I run, and Stephanie's like, come here.
[00:18:02] Speaker B: Shoes on you.
[00:18:04] Speaker C: Who you. Do you like these shoes? Loubout?
[00:18:10] Speaker A: The show just went off.
[00:18:11] Speaker C: Every time we go there, we're walking our Newfoundland and people go, is that a bear? And I'm always like, yes. Yeah, we. We tamed a bear when we got here. What's a dog, you idiot?
[00:18:20] Speaker B: Can't really tell, huh?
[00:18:22] Speaker C: You can. It's black. And that's what makes it bad. You can tell that it's not a bear.
[00:18:27] Speaker A: People are dumb.
[00:18:28] Speaker C: Okay, so as a fireman, like, I have a friend that is an ER nurse.
[00:18:33] Speaker B: For a long time, this.
[00:18:35] Speaker C: And once every couple years, we'd play the game, you know, What'd you find inside them? Oh, because the ER Funny game always had good stories. So what's like the. The. The weirdest, craziest run you ever went on. As a fireman, are you allowed to tell? If you're not, it's okay.
[00:18:58] Speaker B: Allowed. But I don't think it'd be appropriate.
[00:19:00] Speaker C: Well, nothing's appropriate.
[00:19:01] Speaker B: It could get a little go.
[00:19:03] Speaker C: Okay, so the most most appropriate crazy, like, I like the guy with the mayonnaise jar, ended up at the er. You guys took him there?
[00:19:13] Speaker B: Well, he'd be the same guy that's related to the guy with the gerbil, you know, Geral.
[00:19:18] Speaker C: I fell on it.
[00:19:19] Speaker B: That helped.
[00:19:21] Speaker A: I fell on it.
[00:19:23] Speaker C: I fell on my pod.
[00:19:29] Speaker B: That happens. You wouldn't think it would, but it does.
[00:19:31] Speaker C: How do they fall on that stuff?
[00:19:33] Speaker B: I don't know. I think they had some help.
[00:19:35] Speaker C: Yeah, they jumped one.
Okay.
[00:19:41] Speaker A: I'm Brian, your Indianapolis Realtor. If you are looking to buy or sell a house in the Indy area, I'm your guy. If you're coming from out of state, want to make a move to the Indy area. I'm your guy. Check out the show notes for a link. We can get in touch and get you started. Thanks for watching. Now back to the show.
[00:20:00] Speaker C: But the world of the firefighter going to this, it's not a glamorous. It's not like Chicago Fire. Like you're watching the show Chicago Fire. It's not that glamorous, is it?
[00:20:10] Speaker B: No. You know, my wife and I watch those type of shows over the years. I cannot watch them because they're not realistic. Some are very entertaining.
[00:20:20] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:20:20] Speaker B: But my wife seems to think that all of that is.
[00:20:23] Speaker A: Did you do that?
[00:20:24] Speaker B: Yeah. You. You showered with another woman? No, I don't do that. It's not same shower.
[00:20:30] Speaker A: I mean, I wanted to, but fun stories.
[00:20:34] Speaker C: So you. So it wasn't like you being on the show 911 Lone Star where what's, what's his name?
[00:20:43] Speaker A: Rob Low.
[00:20:43] Speaker C: Rob Lowe. You don't like the Rob Low manager or chief?
[00:20:47] Speaker B: No, no, no, no.
[00:20:49] Speaker C: Because, you know, here's the thing. That's how I've pictured you the whole time.
[00:20:52] Speaker B: Oh, really?
[00:20:53] Speaker C: Yeah, it's like Rob Lowe in there spouting advice.
[00:20:57] Speaker A: Oddly enough, when he told me who was going to be on the show today, he said, my friend, Rob Low. I mean Andy. It's works. Oh, yeah, I know that guy.
[00:21:04] Speaker B: I wouldn't mind being Rob Low. I guess he gets all the women.
[00:21:07] Speaker A: He's a good looking fella and I.
[00:21:09] Speaker C: He hasn't aged for real. He's sold his soul to someone.
[00:21:14] Speaker A: Yep. He's doing okay, though.
[00:21:17] Speaker C: I think he is doing okay.
[00:21:19] Speaker A: So similar to. You can't watch shows like that because you realize that's not realistic. There aren't many shows, I believe, dedicated to schools. But having been a former teacher and my wife still works in education, we often do not watch the shows that surround education. Because it's like that. No, the kids do not just wander off campus in the middle of the day to do this or.
[00:21:43] Speaker C: Yeah, I did.
[00:21:44] Speaker A: Where did you get all this free time in your schedule? But they still went to class.
[00:21:48] Speaker C: Oh, okay.
[00:21:49] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, there were those trying to do well in school but still had a tremendous amount of free time where the teachers just walking, you know, out of the classroom, going across the hall, having a conversation while you know, the class is still going. Like, seriously. That is very much not real.
[00:22:05] Speaker C: So like when you watch this show about bankers and you see like Wolf of Wall Street.
[00:22:09] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:22:09] Speaker C: It's just like it is yeah, just like that.
[00:22:11] Speaker A: Wow. It's exactly the same, huh? Did I miss the party days?
[00:22:15] Speaker C: I go anywhere. How you going?
You did? Yeah. You missed the party days.
[00:22:23] Speaker A: That was.
[00:22:23] Speaker C: That was up till 2008.
[00:22:25] Speaker A: Huh.
[00:22:26] Speaker C: So they locked that down.
[00:22:27] Speaker A: Have I gotten into the Quaaludes days now?
[00:22:31] Speaker C: No, we are not allowed to do any of that.
[00:22:32] Speaker A: Oh, okay.
[00:22:34] Speaker C: Now it's. It's not like Wolf of Wall street anymore. Oh. Now it's more like We'll Leave it to Beaver.
[00:22:40] Speaker A: Interesting.
[00:22:41] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:22:43] Speaker A: What else do you have for Andy?
[00:22:45] Speaker C: I don't know, Andy. What can it. What else you got for us? What's your.
[00:22:49] Speaker B: I'm talking about these television shows.
[00:22:50] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:22:51] Speaker B: The cops always seem to dominate all of the good shows on tv.
[00:22:56] Speaker C: All the shows are cop shows. And here's my question.
[00:22:59] Speaker B: How come.
[00:23:00] Speaker C: And, oh, don't get me arrested now.
We want the cops to be our friends. But here's my question. In all of the cop shows, whenever there's a running chase scene, have you ever noticed that it is the woman that tackles the bad guy?
[00:23:15] Speaker B: Yeah. Not every one of them, but. Yeah.
[00:23:18] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:23:18] Speaker A: Like we.
[00:23:19] Speaker C: We love the show. FBI.
And FBI has.
I don't know his name is. But he's a tall, good looking guy and I'm sure he can run like. Yeah, but the little short girl that's his partner tackles every person getting away. Like, Omar, pick it up, dude. You can catch her every time. She's the one that makes the tackle. So I. I do notice that in. In a lot of the cop. I watch a lot of cop shows. I like cop shows. Do you like cop shows?
[00:23:49] Speaker B: Why? They're entertaining.
[00:23:51] Speaker C: They are. Yeah. But the fireman shows are very entertaining. I watch 91 1. 91 1, Lone Star, Chicago Fire. I watch all those.
[00:23:58] Speaker A: I don't watch any of this.
[00:23:59] Speaker B: I don't either. But if you did the fire scenes, you wouldn't be able to see anything. That's the. The problem with them.
[00:24:05] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:24:06] Speaker B: You go in there, everything's black, right. Smoky, can't see your way. But for some reason, it's magical. You can see everything.
[00:24:13] Speaker C: Do you yell out, firefighter? Call out.
[00:24:17] Speaker B: No.
[00:24:17] Speaker C: No. What do you guys say when you're looking for people in a house?
[00:24:20] Speaker B: We just. Just look for them, find them. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:24:23] Speaker C: So call for him. Out of 35 years, how many calendars were you on?
[00:24:28] Speaker B: Oh, zero.
[00:24:29] Speaker C: Oh, I don't believe you. I bet you are. At least 30 of those calendars was not.
[00:24:34] Speaker B: No, no. They went for the sexy guys.
[00:24:37] Speaker C: You. You were calendar material.
[00:24:39] Speaker A: Come on.
[00:24:39] Speaker B: Musk piercing. Yeah, yeah, exactly. You know, you're talking about Mark.
[00:24:45] Speaker C: He. He was a muscular dude. Like, he worked out. Like, he always looked good.
[00:24:49] Speaker B: Like, he was probably on that.
[00:24:50] Speaker C: He always looked like he was 10 years younger than me. And I have a feeling he was older than me.
[00:24:55] Speaker B: He's a. Yeah, he's older than me.
[00:24:57] Speaker C: Yeah. And he always look like he's 10 years younger. And this dude's buff as.
[00:25:00] Speaker B: I'll get out.
[00:25:01] Speaker C: Yeah, there you go.
[00:25:03] Speaker A: I am not that guy.
[00:25:04] Speaker C: Me either.
[00:25:04] Speaker B: I'm.
[00:25:05] Speaker C: I'm kind of puny now.
I put on a few pounds.
[00:25:08] Speaker A: Well, since we're talking about exercise.
[00:25:10] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:25:11] Speaker A: And, you know, fans of the show followed your journey all of 2024 until that historic Honolulu Marathon last month.
[00:25:22] Speaker C: Yeah. 70 miles in for the month of December.
[00:25:25] Speaker A: Are you still running?
[00:25:26] Speaker C: Yeah, rain Forest ran three and a half miles yesterday. Well, actually 3.75 yesterday.
[00:25:31] Speaker A: And we have had minor discussions about you potentially doing another one.
[00:25:37] Speaker C: Yeah. So we talked about. Me, my buddy Tyson. I talked about doing the Nashville one.
[00:25:41] Speaker A: Tyson is the singer.
[00:25:42] Speaker C: Tyson Haynes.
[00:25:43] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:43] Speaker C: Hey, Tyson. He watches the show over here.
[00:25:45] Speaker A: It does every never.
We're gonna send it specially to Ty.
[00:25:50] Speaker C: We should just tag him in it.
So we decided the other day on the phone, he's like, yeah, I want to run it. And I have a show that night. And I said, tyson, you're not going to run an entire marathon and then do one of your shows.
[00:26:05] Speaker A: Why not?
[00:26:06] Speaker C: Because you physically can't do it, you know? No, he decided he.
[00:26:10] Speaker A: I was right.
[00:26:12] Speaker B: Not that much should be able to do that.
[00:26:13] Speaker A: We had to be nine, sit down and sing.
[00:26:16] Speaker C: No, no, his. He's got one of the most energetic shows you ever see. He's like, on the bar and then.
[00:26:22] Speaker A: He's in good shape.
[00:26:23] Speaker C: Yeah, but he said he's ran a half and it almost killed him. And then to run a full. And then. And then do a show that night and a show the next morning, and I've. I know what the next morning feels like.
[00:26:32] Speaker A: Yeah, it does the kill. He could have done it the night of the.
[00:26:36] Speaker C: I could have done it the next day. Couldn't do it that night. Seriously, that night.
[00:26:40] Speaker A: Oh, all right. So you don't have Tyson now what?
[00:26:42] Speaker C: I want to find one maybe in June. I want to find someone to run a marathon in June when it's hot somewhere because I like cold.
[00:26:49] Speaker A: We know.
[00:26:50] Speaker C: So you got. Either of you guys want to run a marathon with me in June?
[00:26:53] Speaker B: We'll be glad to go and support you. Yes.
[00:26:57] Speaker A: Run to A marathon. I mean, like, from the parking lot. I just.
[00:27:01] Speaker C: It was a two miles to the start of our marathon.
[00:27:03] Speaker A: I could do that. The two miles to the start. I could do that.
[00:27:07] Speaker C: I would like to challenge you to run a whole marathon with me.
[00:27:10] Speaker A: Challenge not accepted.
[00:27:12] Speaker C: You don't think you can?
[00:27:12] Speaker A: Right here on YouTube world. No.
[00:27:15] Speaker C: You don't think you could do it?
[00:27:18] Speaker A: No.
[00:27:19] Speaker C: I bet we could even do something where we raise money and people will put in money to bet if you could run the whole marathon or not. And I would let you take the whole pot, whether you finished or not.
[00:27:29] Speaker A: Whoa.
That is something.
[00:27:32] Speaker B: Oh, that's.
[00:27:32] Speaker A: So that's not a donation, though. That's.
[00:27:34] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:27:35] Speaker A: So let me ask you.
[00:27:37] Speaker C: Could we. If we raised $1,000, would you run a marathon with me?
[00:27:41] Speaker A: Ooh. To a charity of my choice or.
[00:27:44] Speaker C: Or the Quinlan Christmas family Fund or whatever you want to call it. I don't care what you do it to.
[00:27:49] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:27:50] Speaker A: $1,000 to run a marathon with you.
[00:27:53] Speaker C: A full marathon?
[00:27:54] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:27:55] Speaker A: Sure.
[00:27:56] Speaker C: You do it?
[00:27:56] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:27:57] Speaker C: For a thousand bucks?
[00:27:58] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:27:59] Speaker C: Okay. So are you going to train?
[00:28:01] Speaker A: Well, I. The money does need to kind of start coming in, so.
[00:28:05] Speaker C: So if. If it starts trickling, we gotta. We gotta. Okay. So there. There'll be details to follow.
[00:28:11] Speaker A: Oh, exciting.
[00:28:12] Speaker C: But we're gonna have to set up some form of. It can't be a GoFundMe, because this is not.
[00:28:18] Speaker A: It cannot.
[00:28:20] Speaker C: We're gonna have to figure out a way that people can.
[00:28:23] Speaker A: It's all on you. I am doing nothing. But.
[00:28:25] Speaker C: And they could not even anonymously send $1,000. Whatever that kind of makes me.
[00:28:31] Speaker B: You're going to have to run it.
So he's not locked in until the a thousand is raised.
[00:28:37] Speaker C: Yeah, but I'd start training. Yeah, I think it's going to happen.
[00:28:39] Speaker A: I mean, for real, it's not going to happen.
[00:28:43] Speaker B: Oh, you know what? I'm pretty sure he'll probably make it happen.
[00:28:46] Speaker C: I'm pretty sure it's going to happen. You're running a marathon this year.
[00:28:49] Speaker B: Dude, $999 short, dude.
[00:28:51] Speaker C: I'm going to find the most hilliest, uphill, hottest marathon. Wow.
[00:28:55] Speaker A: This. This sounds delightful.
[00:28:56] Speaker C: You want to do it? Okay. That's the call out for me.
[00:28:59] Speaker A: Never did.
[00:29:00] Speaker C: We want to raise $1,000 for Brian's favorite charity.
[00:29:03] Speaker A: There we go.
[00:29:04] Speaker C: Which is probably a charity for those who can't run marathons.
[00:29:07] Speaker A: No.
[00:29:08] Speaker C: What's your favorite charity?
[00:29:10] Speaker A: I don't really have a favorite. Well, I mean, my wife's pantry is.
[00:29:14] Speaker C: A wonderful charity that's a great charity. So you're going to feed people in Indiana and you're going to make Brian run for the food.
[00:29:20] Speaker A: Well, run for the food. I like it.
[00:29:22] Speaker C: Run for the food. And I hear.
[00:29:24] Speaker A: See. Oh, wow.
[00:29:26] Speaker C: We're already. We only need 500 more dollars to make this.
[00:29:31] Speaker A: Already there, Sparks.
[00:29:33] Speaker C: Okay.
Brian's like, bummer.
[00:29:38] Speaker A: The best part is I edit this, so. Oh, you just edit this entire segment.
[00:29:44] Speaker C: You gotta do it. Will you do it?
[00:29:47] Speaker A: I'm telling. I can't.
[00:29:48] Speaker C: So let me ask you a question. So have you done much running before?
[00:29:54] Speaker A: Not since high school, which was at this point, you know, 30 plus years ago.
[00:30:00] Speaker C: Yeah. Back when electricity first came to me.
[00:30:02] Speaker A: Right.
[00:30:03] Speaker B: Recreational running. I mean, something.
[00:30:05] Speaker A: Yeah. I've. I've never trained for. I've. I wasn't on a track team.
I've never trained for any type of distance running.
[00:30:13] Speaker B: Okay. Run for office.
[00:30:15] Speaker A: No.
[00:30:15] Speaker C: Think you should. No, thank you.
[00:30:17] Speaker B: Should.
[00:30:17] Speaker A: I mean, under consideration, Brad's going to be my, my campaign manager.
[00:30:22] Speaker C: But you're going to fail.
Okay. So we probably need to talk seriously about this. We're going to leave it in the show.
[00:30:31] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:30:31] Speaker C: But then I believe that we can raise $1,000 for charity for you to run an entire marathon.
[00:30:38] Speaker A: Amen.
[00:30:38] Speaker C: And here's the thing about a marathon is it's not about where you finish, it's about finishing.
[00:30:44] Speaker A: Oh, 100 accurate.
[00:30:47] Speaker C: It's. It's the. It's just crazy how you're like.
[00:30:49] Speaker B: You see that story on the news New Year's Eve about the lady in Europe somewhere. I don't know what country she was in, but ran a marathon each day of 2024.
[00:31:03] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh.
[00:31:04] Speaker C: Are you serious?
[00:31:05] Speaker B: She ran 366 of them.
[00:31:09] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[00:31:10] Speaker B: Every single day. That's crazy.
[00:31:12] Speaker C: I. I couldn't even fathom.
[00:31:14] Speaker B: The last record was like 130 or 140 of them. And she broke the record significantly.
[00:31:21] Speaker C: So when we were running the Honolulu, there was a guy in front of me and a girl. You're running with so many people in the beginning. And this girl goes, check out his tattoos. He's run six.
And I, I didn't know what she was talking about, but I looked on the, on his calf, and he had six Iron man tattoos.
[00:31:38] Speaker A: Oh, wow.
[00:31:39] Speaker C: And the dude's like, yeah, I'm running the, the Honolulu table, but I'm, I'm here for the, the Iron Man. It'll be his seventh completed Iron Man. He said every time he completes an Iron man, he gets another Iron man tattoo on his Calf.
[00:31:51] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:31:52] Speaker A: Good for him.
[00:31:52] Speaker C: Iron man is like, dude, that's incredible. I don't even know how you train for that unless, I mean, someone have to be chasing me all the time.
[00:32:01] Speaker B: That's pretty much being a mortgage guy, isn't it?
[00:32:04] Speaker C: No, no, we're basically ass sitters.
[00:32:10] Speaker A: One of my former students just did a triathlon for a USA team over in Europe and she does it in partnership with a disability organization. I don't know, I don't know the details, but it's super impressive all that she does there.
[00:32:31] Speaker C: Now triathlons is the same thing as the Ironman.
[00:32:33] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:32:33] Speaker C: Okay. Yeah, it's like a full marathon.
[00:32:37] Speaker A: Full marathon.
[00:32:37] Speaker C: They swim and then like. Isn't it. How many miles swimming? Like 10 miles swimming. Or is it more than that?
[00:32:44] Speaker A: I don't know that it's more than that, but either way it's ocean swimming, which is super hard.
[00:32:50] Speaker C: I'm buoyant though.
[00:32:52] Speaker A: You can't float your. Well, I mean. No, you really can't float your way through that.
[00:32:55] Speaker B: First, not last, Right?
[00:32:57] Speaker A: Yeah, they swim, then they bite, bike, then they run.
[00:33:00] Speaker C: Yeah, Well, I would get into the swimming part and then just get a drink.
[00:33:04] Speaker A: Or is it tequila?
[00:33:05] Speaker C: Because drinking and swimming goes together, don't you think? It really does.
[00:33:08] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, I know. Floating and drinking.
[00:33:11] Speaker C: Floating and drinking. Chilling at the bar.
[00:33:13] Speaker B: That it does, yeah.
[00:33:15] Speaker A: All right, any other questions?
[00:33:17] Speaker C: I can't think of any, Brian.
[00:33:19] Speaker A: All right, what about you?
Where can they reach you if people watching the show need your services?
[00:33:29] Speaker B: It's a great question.
[00:33:30] Speaker A: Thank you. Full of great questions.
[00:33:32] Speaker B: Really. All I have is a phone number.
[00:33:34] Speaker A: If you're okay with people calling you or.
[00:33:36] Speaker C: I mean, you're going to put it in front of him anyway.
[00:33:38] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean it'll be down.
[00:33:39] Speaker C: It'll be down there.
[00:33:39] Speaker A: They can just reach out to the number here on the screen. Okay, well, that works out well.
[00:33:43] Speaker C: And pretty much any kind of remodel work, right?
[00:33:46] Speaker B: Any kind. You know, I've never been one to advertise anywhere. It's always been word of mouth. You know, if I do you, well, you tell somebody. So. My 35 years of doing this, I've never had to advertise. It always leads to it for you. So.
[00:33:59] Speaker C: And I'll say that every, every time I've needed something done and Andy's coming down, it's been amazingly taken care of and awesome. He's always been awesome at that.
[00:34:10] Speaker A: So good to know. The Quinlan's, you know, in the future are going to need some projects done at our House. So you're on my list.
[00:34:17] Speaker B: Right.
[00:34:18] Speaker C: It's the honeydew list. I say well rid of.
[00:34:20] Speaker A: I mean, we built our house in 2018, I believe we moved in 17, something like that. And I mean, we've done nothing to it since then. So right now we're talking about getting new flooring.
[00:34:34] Speaker C: It's almost fallen down.
[00:34:36] Speaker A: I know. We're going to be upgrading our bathroom because right now there's a sink with a long countertop in our primary bathroom. And so we'll be adding another sink and a new countertop eventually.
[00:34:48] Speaker B: So you're 10 years in now. It's time to give it a little refresh.
[00:34:51] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:34:52] Speaker B: I get it.
[00:34:52] Speaker A: And as I told my wife, she's like, do we really need to go? Okay. If we want to sell the house for maximum money, we're going to have to have these things. And I don't want them to be done the year we move. I want to be able to enjoy them a little bit. And then, you know, that's an upgrade we made to the house. So it's, you know, better to sell later.
[00:35:11] Speaker C: So maybe we should add on a bar at your place and then we could go back and forth between my bar and your.
[00:35:15] Speaker A: There is a tavern. It's Q's Corner. Tavern at my house. It's nothing like this.
[00:35:20] Speaker C: Oh, you got to get close to this.
[00:35:22] Speaker A: No, I'm not coming.
[00:35:23] Speaker C: If there's less than a hundred bottoms.
[00:35:27] Speaker B: On the wall, must be a small corner you can't get. Yeah. Surely you can do this.
[00:35:34] Speaker C: It's actually, well, corner that.
[00:35:37] Speaker A: That actually it refers to the golf course behind my house. There are five holes of a golf course behind my house that I call Q's Corner that I will sneak out onto and play five holes of golf, so.
[00:35:49] Speaker C: Well, I definitely don't have a golf course.
[00:35:50] Speaker A: You do not?
[00:35:51] Speaker C: No.
[00:35:51] Speaker A: That's what you're missing.
[00:35:52] Speaker C: My neighbor's got some chicken for a simulator, though. I do have room for a simulator.
Oh, golf simulator.
[00:35:58] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:35:59] Speaker A: Yes.
All right, we're gonna wrap this up, gents. Thanks for a wonderful show, Andy. Wow.
[00:36:09] Speaker C: We didn't do a mid level shot either in this.
[00:36:11] Speaker A: We didn't. But know.
[00:36:12] Speaker C: That's right.
