EP 286: Aron Magner (Disco Biscuits)

Andy is joined by long time friend and bassist Nick Chamian for an IN DEPTH discussion on The Hippy who lives in all of us. How did he get in there? What does he even WANT... and how to hold on tight for dear life whilst on the road with the Frasco band. But! On the Interview Hour, we got the keyboardist and founding member for the LEGENDS who are the Disco Biscuits: Aron Magner! Is Aron the greatest of them all? Methinks he may hold dark secrets that thou wouldst like to know...

We're psyched ...

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]

Big shows coming up! Catch the boys on the road with Pigeons Playing Ping Pong and Dogs In A Pile as they come into a town near you (you read that right). Plus: a tribute to opening bands around the world. And huge congrats to our boy, Dolav Cohen as he gets married... to someone other than Andy?!

EP 283: Round 2 w/ G Love

We open with a special love song devoted to one, Mr Floyd Kellogg. Then, jump on into the Man Stew with us as we get steamy with a touring band's worth of naked men. Plus: a very special motivational message from our beloved mustachioed merch maniac, Logan. (Does he not remind you of Donnie from The Wild Thornberrys?) And on the Interview Hour, we're welcoming back the one & only, Garrett Dutton, aka G Love! Andy tries to remember if he's written anything with G Love, only for Nick to rightfully...

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. From the stage to the afters (and the Corey Feldmans that came between), a friendship formed between Andy & Nick that was both refuge AND beacon. 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...

EP 280: Round 2 with Maggie Rose (Flood City Festival EP)

Friend of the show, Caleb Hawley opens the show with a real banger of a tune. Andy and Nick catch up on matters of the heart. Namely, that sweet, sweet love a person has for oneself: narcissism. Plus! What does Andy have to say about his Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds moment in Las Vegas at the Sphere. Does this guy love John Mayer, or what?! And on the Interview Hour we got Round 2 with Rolling Stone magazine verified STAR, Maggie Rose! Maggie is the best. What more do you need to know?! Listen ...

EP 279: Brent Pella (Wild 'N Out)

Andy updates from a mile high. Was the Vegas Sphere really that amazing? (Yes. Yes, it was.) And on the Interview Hour, we got comedian, Brent Pella from MTV's Wild 'N Out! 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 278: Couch (a Flood City Music Festival EP)

Go Karting rules, you guys. Andy, Nick, and Beau discuss off-tour band/crew vacations, but why must there be such a dividing line between roles and who goes on vacation with whom? Can't we all just vacation... together?! If you're in the Pittsburgh area around July 26/27, why not check out Flood City Music Festival and catch Andy Frasco & the UN?? On the Interview Hour we got long-distance savy, Boston band: Couch! Let's listen in and learn how a horny, wildly danceable band can make it work via...

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! They riff on Kyle's musical journey, his innovative approach to banjo playing, and the high-energy antics that keep Gold...

Shawn opens the show with a tasteful response to last week's musical guest. Bayliss, the Scotty Pippin of Umphrey's McGee gets nauseous and blows chunks before a show with Andy. And Nick relates Andy's genitalia to a popular science-fiction genre. Then, on the Interview Hour we got comedian, tv personality, and all-around excellent hang, Joe Gatto, of Impractical Jokers fame! Andy and Joe get very real, very quick.
