In this episode of Growing Pains with Andrew Heckman, Andrew sits down with Andy Byrns for a conversation that goes everywhere—and somehow all connects. From working in a casino and the strange characters you meet along the way, to the mind-bending discoveries of the James Webb Telescope and the lessons learned from the Titan Sub tragedy, nothing is off limits.

The discussion bounces through duct cleaning, artificial intelligence, philosophy, and then dives deep into pop culture debates—Marvel vs DC, the greatest superheroes and villains of all time, and why these stories stick with us. Toss in Jurassic Park, Pokémon, and a few big-picture questions about technology, curiosity, and humanity, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts thoughtful, funny, and wildly entertaining. If you like conversations that roam but always land somewhere interesting, this one’s for you.

Taylor Feltz returns to Growing Pains with Andrew Heckman, and this episode turns into one of those long, winding conversations that covers way more ground than planned—in the best way possible. 🌱

Andrew and Taylor start with country living and the pull toward building something real: geodesic domes, greenhouses, hunting, fishing, boating, and setting property goals that actually line up with freedom, independence, and quality of life. It’s practical talk mixed with big-picture thinking about what “the good life” really looks like. From there, the conversation naturally drifts into predictions about the future—AI, Westworld, 3iAtlas, human behavior, and where technology might be pushing us next. There’s curiosity, skepticism, optimism, and plenty of “what if” moments that keep things interesting. And because this is Growing Pains with Andrew Heckman, the vibe stays fun too, with some Pokémon pack popping worked into the mix—because serious conversations don’t have to be serious the whole time. If you like real conversations, long-form podcasts, and bouncing between boots-on-the-ground living and futuristic ideas, this episode is for you. Kick back, listen in, and enjoy the ride. 🌿

Of course, it wouldn’t be a birthday episode without some Pokémon! They cracked open a Paldean Fates pack and Andrew surprised Lex with a 151 Blooming Waters. There were a few solid pulls — lots of Charmanders and even a Charmeleon — but the big Charizard stayed hidden this time. 🔥
