EP 307: Nick & Andy

Andy and Nick are joined by the Cocuzza bros and we're talking about the biggest event in America. No, not the election, not even THE SUPER BOWL, but in fact, the pinacle of Denver Debauchery: the Andy Frasco & The U.N. show at The Mission Ballroom in Denver. That magical night in which nitrous flows like the tears of so many Kansas City Chief fans. But that's not all! We're diving deep into the Disco Biscuits—cuz why watch Kendrick Lamar hammering in the final nail of Drake's coffin when you ca...

No doubt. Will this episode somehow still change your life? Look, anything's possible. So buckle up kiddos, and tell your mom we said hi... *wink*

As Frasco finishes up road doggin with JJ Grey, Nick takes the mic to fill everyone in on exactly what he reaaaally thinks about Andy Frasco (spoiler: he thinks he's a great guy). And on the Interview Hour, we welcome the boys from hyper-prolific modern-day jam band, Kendall Street Company! This is a band that starts with a plan and finishes off with a touch of chaos.
