Speaking of Nick & Andy: find out what these two have up their sleeve with the upcoming World Saving Podcast Tour that kicks off real soon! Who's in the band? Who's the special guest? Does anybody have a smoke I can bum?? And on the Interview Hour, we got the legendary lead singer/rhythm guitarist of 311 on the show: Nick Hexum! Nick is forever hot. And does music outside of 311 you may not be aware of. REAL GOOD music at that. Don't you wanna impress your friends with your musical prowess?

Andy gets a needling call from his agent to discuss the infamous "bro rate" that plagues his management. Andy & Nick reunite to open the show and process the last 2 weeks of Andy's tour... also how much we all missed Nick. Does Andy drink Malört? Or can he resist the temptation to party in Chi-town sans nasty regional booze? And on the Interview Hour, we got the very funny, multi-hyphenated sparkling personality of Jim Norton to get us thru the week! Jim & Andy speak on trans rights, loneliness on the road as a comedian, 'gotcha' culture, and many more sizzlin hot topics. Have you seen Andy's March tour schedule? Check it out cuz he and the podcast are coming to a town near you!

Brian introduces us to a new word today: ADMONISH. Listen in to hear him teach Andy some of its meaning (and on his birthday no less!) Andy Frasco & the U.N. is back on the road and quite possibly in a town near you! Check Andy's tour dates to see just how close and whether your mom will allow it. Your mother aside, lets focus on the real exciting news: we get to welcome to the Interview Hour, legendary songwriter, pianist, and fellow sports fan: Bruce Hornsby! Andy gushes and Nick glues the rougher edges down. And what does one ask of a former touring member of the Grateful Dead? Something sports related, obviously. And on a final note, as Andy Fraso once said: why not make love with each other?

Shawn Eckels hits ya with a full band ode to Frasco's Monday Motivations. Craig Brodhead from Cool Cool Cool joins the fray as he, Nick, and Andy discuss whether OJ Simpson really did do it (spoiler: he totally did it). In other news: murder is legal in California so long as you have money! But more than just news from 30 years ago, we got an entire episode devoted to learning, community service, and the pursuit of happiness. Mayyyyybe a few c*m jokes for good measure? But strictly NO Turkuaz gossip, whatsoever. Oh! And Andy "Clark" Westby is in the house that Shorgasm built.

And what malign fantasies lurk in the darkest corners within the heart of man?? All this and more!

Everyone must shut up as Show Bard Shawn draws upon your heart strings with a new cover of  a classic tune. Let them tears flow, baby. Ironic covers: yay or nay? Andy & Nick discuss the merits of hipster ethics and whether Creed's music can every truly be 'good'. Plus: why do bassists often come from such gilded upbringing? On the Interview Hour we got our new favorite person, LeeAnn Kreischer! Andy & Nick got tight with the incredibly funny LeeAnn on Bert Kreischer's comedy cruise. Friendships (and wild origin stories) abound, so listen in...

In which our boy, Beau gets laid... or did he? (I think he may have) And the difference between foolin around and makin love. Oh what a life to be the tour manager for a bunch of party animals. Also! News and insider info on Tucson, Arizona's Gem and Jam Festival! Andy's playing this year, so why not get some tix now and save yourself from FOMO later?? We got a 2nd round with newly minted Cat-Man, dope guitarist and certifiably sick DJ: Boogie T! Andy & Nick grill the man on why cats may be the perfect companion for musicians and we learn a bit more about the Boogie T.Rio... Shout out to Brad & Rebecca for hooking up the band (and our boy Beau)
