EP 298: Nick & Andy

Andy unpacks his trip to Italy and alleviates worries about a potential move back to his hometown of Los Angeles. Andy may soon help Nick see the magic in the chaotic mess of L.A., but Nick still has something to show Andy about the quiet elegance of a green room couch. (Denver is FULL UP on green room couches fyi) Listen closely as Nick's meticulousness and Andy's free spirit blossoms into a deep, loving friendship, full of late-night texts and shared passions.

EP 287: Paul Hoffman (Greensky Bluegrass)

Scandal & Corruption Erupts! Late night on the tour bus, an unsuspecting and uninitiated sweet baby angel boy tastes the bitter wrath of interminable whiskey shots as he tries to match Frasco's intemperance.

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]
(Saxophone melody)

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 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...
