I heard him announce he is leaving for Florida but cannot find out why Florida and what are his immediate plans, does anyone know?

He was on Parrish this week, if you want to listen to the podcast.

Summary, moving close to family in Fl. Going into new business ventures while there, one still based in Memphis metro.

Not let go, leaving on his own terms. Or something like that

I think its to semi retire and do something else.

Big State.

What part of Florida?

So, he is putting nothing out yet. I wondered why I could not find anything. If I were him I would produce a syndicated version of his does it work? segment he could make a nice living that way by getting a small amount per day from a bunch of small/medium sized markets (like the Clark Howard segment)

Get Wise; Andy Wise... A Florida Man.

So basically do a YouTube channel or podcast?

TV news operations are spending less and less and it would be hard for him to sell a package without already having a syndication operation behind him. And since he’s been with Raycom the last several years, why didn’t they syndicate him? Maybe he was only a Memphis star?

His wife took a job in FL this past summer. She was a teacher at St. Francis, and moved to FL. He stayed to sell house, get things in order for his move, etc.

gotcha- he is following his wife to be close to family - makes sense at his age (about the same age as me)

I still remember the story he did on a fella with numerous DUI convictions. He was interviewing the man by 201 Poplar and the man preceded to get violent and stomp on Andy, all on camera. The man finally quit beating on Andy and Andy made an UNWISE decision to ask the man more questions. The man decided to beat on Andy some more. I guess Andy had an agreement with the cameraman that Andy would get butt stomped and the cameraman would not help him out.

He has been known to allow his alligator mouth to over load his humming bird ass on several occasions.

Lady called us out to replace her condescending unit fan motor. She did not want to pay the cost of an OEM motors so we had to use a generic motor. Which means we had to rewire the connection and add a separate capacitor for the fans motor. Going from a three wire mot r to a 4 wire. HP RPM and Amps were exactly the same.

He came bopping up to our place sticking the mic in our faces as if he was the second coming of Jesus. But left in a big hurry with his tail between his legs. He quickly learned a lesson i learned over 58 years ago .

DO NOT PISS OFF POP.

He was syndicated. When traveling, I would see his segments on local news outlets all over the country.

He's moving close to the in-laws, and ready for a change of scenery and warmer weather. I think it's the Navarre Beach area, but could be wrong.

He's going to work with midsouth police in some new venture, and also starting a consumer rating company that hopes to market his brand.

Seems like a good guy. Yeah, he's a consumer advocate. Not a bad thing to have when you need one.

From his FB a consumer protection and endorsement endeavor. #WiseChoices

Ormond Beach, FL shows on his Instagram.

He said Ormond is the Germantown of Daytona.

Ormond is nice.

Good news

Daytona Beach market is a step down from Memphis. Odd, something else must be in play.

Did the Dude get any money out of the stomping
