Great podcast. Andy when you gonna have Tyler Grey on. Would be awesome to hear you both finally have a sit down.
Whenever I hear graduate of Harvard Buissness School I think Enron or Bernie Madoff I never think anything good. I got more respect for a crack deal, they are more honest then Harvard.
The silent Lion 🦁
HE YOU BHUT (👺👹👾👿💀☠🤡👿😈🧟🌌🌪)
When you gonna bring on Brendan Schaub 😮
Something like Lake Bled.. I’m guessing about the Hungarians joined to serve in return for citizenship in USA . Rebels were tough and knew more about Russia. I got the debriefing many years later.
1:10:00 I want this interview with the former president!!! Just with the lenses presented!!!
No politics. Just perspectives.
This was great! Bring Matt back!
One of my favorite episodes to date! Fantastic interplay between you and Matt! And his frankness of where he came from was very refreshing. And his self depreciation was funny AF!
That coffee dip is great! Used it on a cross country drive from Florida to Nevada. Somewhere in Arizona, I found this! Great stuff!
Bring on the Bush!
Perfect another self help snake oil salesman. Thanks Andy.
People who cheat death….coffin dodgers!! Loved the closing comments…so true!! I too was told that I may have months to live, turned out I had a great surgeon who had second thoughts on the Dax just before entering surgery..went from brain CA to just a brain bleed. Certainly puts life into a different perspective!!
Looking forward to the W Podcast!
FYI it's a myth. There isn't fiberglass in chewing tobacco. Copenhagen wintergreen ftw
This was a really good episode.
Get Jake Zweig on at some point.
I need to try Mike's supplement. Desparate for sleep nightly.
Man that was a good one. Kept me riveted. I just hope that I can use the lessons in my life.
Amazing human So appreciate his honesty.
This is a great show.
This guys story is unbelievable, but I actually believe him. I liked him the more I listened.
Outstanding episode. Really important conversation Andy! Well done.
Such an enjoyable conversation and chemistry. Amazing!
My mom had lung cancer, I quit my job to care for her. You can NEVER repay your mom so I took it on.
May sound strange but I cherish that 8-10 months . Both heart wrenching and fulfilling..
Loved this episode!!
"Let's go to a lighter topic, let's talk about 9/11." I nearly drove off the road laughing at this.
Top 5 of any podcast I have listened to!
I've been listening to your podcast for a while now and I can say that this episode has been one of my all time favorites. Great job!
Outstanding job Andy! The way you let him talk and your focus. Your one of the best in the podcast game.
Awesome podcast. Never even heard of Matt Higgins until today. Incredible journey from poverty to success. I'd love to see him go through and get you an interview with George W Bush jr.
Please bring very famous Pujya Jaya Kishori Ji
Went through the same medical procedure as Matt less then 60 days ago. It’s refreshing to know that it’s gunna be ok and to make every joke about it you can. Cheers
Holy shit dude… this was a PHENOMENAL conversation!
🇺🇲🦅
Andy you should see about getting Tom Hardy on the show he just got his purple belt and he seems like a fascinating man just saying
Solid episode. Really good interaction. I could listen to this for a couple more hours.
Badder than fuck Andy
Outstanding podcast once again. Matt sure has had quite a life and your ability to listen and learn and ask poignant questions is incredible. Well done!
Wow…this is was awesome
Getting to this one a little late but what an amazing episode. This is why podcasts were invented, so very informative and entertaining
