You're listening to In the Loop with Andy Andrews, a unique opportunity to see life from a different perspective with New York Times bestselling author, Andy Andrews.

Now here's your host, Andy Trob.

Well, hello, everyone. I'm Andy Trob, your host for In The Loop.

It is a pleasure to be here with my friend, Andy Andrews.

You're so funny. It's just fun to be with you, man.

Well, I enjoy it, too, but you just make it sound so just like, you know, you're such a great announcer.

It was my pleasure to be with my friend. Well, you know what helps being sincere. If I had to make it up, you know, you're such a great announcer. It was my pleasure to be with my friend. Well, you know what helps? Being sincere. If I had to make it up, you know, it wouldn't come off as exciting. But it is. It's like I told my wife, I was picking up my son from preschool, took, you know, 25 minutes to take five-minute trip because we're getting six inches of snow today you got a lot of snow there today oh yeah oh

yeah you know us you're in orange beach alabama you know when we we talk about a white christmas

yeah it's sand oh sand you in fact i i i um i think well i know i did at christ Christmas time, on Facebook, we posted the sandman that we built, you know.

The boys and Polly and I got out, you know, in the backyard.

And, of course, everything in the whole town, everything is sand.

And so it's white sand everywhere.

And we live along this this we don't live on

the beach but we live along this coastline that there's a hundred mile coastline from fort morgan

alabama all the way to you know just a little past panama city florida and it's called

the miracle strip and it's the only place in the world where

the beaches are one mineral. You know, if you do a soil sample or a soil array of the beaches,

we are one mineral, and that mineral is crushed quartz. Wow. And so the sand is like literally the color and consistency of sugar.

So we, you know, we'll take shovels out there sometime and pile up the sand and add some water

to it. And then we'll get flowers out of the yard to make the sandman's buttons and Polly will put a hat on

him and a scarf around him. And so, you know, we're out there getting sunburned, building a sandman that looks like a snowman. But I'm getting sunburned. So I'm getting windburn. So I was driving home and I said to my wife, I got to run. I'm running late. I could go do some show prep. And I looked at her and I said, I get to hang out with Andy for two hours. She's like, have fun. You know, like, you go play with your friend, you know? So it's just fun.

It's have fun. You know, like, you go play with your friend, you know?
