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

Now here's your host, David Loy.

Hi and welcome to In The Loop with Andy Andrews.

Once again, I'm your host, David Loy.

Andy, you're here with me today in Nashville.

We're sitting across the table from each other once again, which I know we always, David Loy. Andy, you're here with me today in Nashville. We're sitting across the

table from each other once again, which I know we always enjoy doing that. I love doing this.

I like doing them over the phone and Skype with you, but I really like being here. So this is

very cool to me. Absolutely. You, a couple of weeks ago, actually I guess this was last month,

we did an episode that was themed completely around

moms. Right, right. Kind of around Mother's Day, but it was much bigger than Mother's Day.

And we said at the end of that, that we would do something similar around Father's Day. And so,

you have something special for us today. Tell us what it is. I wrote a short story about my dad. And it's really,

I say a short story. I don't know if it's a short story. It's really more of an article, I guess.

I don't know. It's all true. And so I guess it's not really a short story if it's true.

But this is, I put down the description of my father one time and I did this when my boys were young

because I thought you know if something ever happens to me and I'm not able to give the oral history

that I wanted to give you know about my family and all I want to have something that my boys

could have a sense of their grandfather because my dad passed away when I was nine.

He was killed in a car accident.

And my dad was one of these, I guess, amazing figures because everybody thought he was so funny and crazy.

Right, absolutely.
