EP 285: Nick and Andy PreTour Catch Up
Nick Only Knows (What Andy Would Do)
(To the tune of "God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys)
[Verse 1]
They play with the heat, it's more than just fun,
When Nick hits a note, Andy comes undone,
If ever they part, they'd still feel the pull,
Nick only knows when Andy gets full.
[Chorus]
Nick only knows what Andy would do,
When they're together, oh girl you'll feel it too,
If you should ever watch, you'd feel it too,
Nick only knows what Andy would do.
[Bridge]

EP 282: Nick, Marty, & Andy (Flood City Music Festival Recap)
Expect the usual lunacy one finds in an episode devoted to Nick & Andy talking at each other for an hour straight on such topics you've come to love: which sport features the largest of hogs and whether Andy should talk about his new comedian girlfriend on the podcast... but now sprinkle in a healthy dose of Marty and you got yourself a helluva morning cocktail for your drive to work! Friendly reminder: there's NO need to ever compliment Andrew Jackson (that fools got small hog energy)

EP 281: Miles Doughty (Slightly Stoopid)
In the heart of countless battles, where the roar of conflict and the weight of sacrifice formed the backdrop of their days, two Denver musicians forged a bond that would outlast the scars of tour.

In other words: we're talking drugs and drama, people. Aaaaaand on the Interview Hour, Slightly Stoopid joins the fray as Andy sits down with multi-instrume...

Brent's got the comedy pedigree, the resume, and the know-how to steer Andy and Nick back on course. Does he microdose psilocybin? You betcha! We're here to learn how to navigate the seas of entertainment without getting sucked under by the Kraken of burn-out, or over taken by the Blue Beard of drug overdose. And watch out fo...

EP 276: Kyle Tuttle (Golden Highway)
In which the chaotic union of Frasco and Gerlach - best friends and podcasting degenerates - serve up their brand of unfiltered & unwashed, RAW convos. Vegan & Keto friendly, too! These two are closer than a pair of sweaty underwear after a wild night out (and just as messy). And on the Interview Hour, Andy has a plucky chat with Kyle Tuttle, banjo maestro from Golden Highway!
