Andy & Nick waste NO TIME flinging friendly fire at their reggae-adjacent frenemies (you know who you are) and diving ankle-deep into the murky waters of Indianapolis sports and politics (vote Nick Gerlach for mayor). Then it's time to get brassy: sure, 2nd wave ska ain’t quite reggae, but they’re definitely kissing cousins at the family reunion (after a few drinks). We dig into those tangled roots on the Interview Hour with Cleveland’s finest party instigators:  Tropidelic! A band so dank, even your stepdad’s dealer has heard of them. Also!

This week on the pod, Frasco admonishes us all to NOT BRING THAT **** TO NEXT WEEK. Marinate and move on, as the kind Dr. Frasco prescribes. Plus! He sits down with Twiddle frontman and jam-brother from another tour mother, Mihali. These two lords of chaos trip the light fandango, share war stories from the road, and sing the praises of the real MVPs: their tour managers — those brave souls who’ve saved their butts more times than anyone can count (and sometimes even after questionable substances were consumed).

Andy and Nick are back and they're talking upcoming shows, body massage histories (in which the only happy endings are emotional), and the weirdly sensual appeal of trashy beach towns.

Andy Frasco is back with a very special episode of The World Saving Podcast, in which he attempts to wrangle the buffonary that is his band: The U.N. Find out who the fresh meat is and while you're at it; catch up with them old dogs, too. But the real mystery? Where the hell did everyone else go?! Did they find Jesus? Join the circus? Escape to a remote island (nantucket) where Andy’s calls can’t reach them? Hmm... Maybe a little of column A thru C, huh?  Expect debauchery, Kris Lager, and a deep dive into the inner workings (or dysfunctions) of the most unpredictable band in rock 'n' roll history. And if you’ve ever wondered what it takes to survive in The U.N., let’s just say you gotta have thick skin. So grab a drink, lower your expectations, and join us for a family reunion that’s less heartwarming than it is homoerotic.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It’s time to sift through the glittery dumpster fire that is pop culture—where the rich get richer, the famous get canceled, and the rest of us revel in the Doom Scroll of it all. So Buckle up!

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 can watch people melt into the floor instead? And will Andy still be allowed back to The Mission Ballroom after burning down the house? (Legal says we can’t comment.) Strap in, tune up, and get ready for another ride on the chaos train.

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. You know I was thinking- if Kendall Street Company was a meal, it’d be a buffet where you start with breakfast, accidentally hit a taco station, and in a psychedelic stupor, end the night by eating fondue off a former NFL cheerleader's six pack.
