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).

Hey there... we heard about you. Yeah, that's right you're one of those fine human beings that enjoys a real good podcast, huh? Well, hold onto your butts, cuz we got one doozy of an episode for ya this week. Frasco opens the show with some advice: listen to that body of yours and marinate in some DOWN TIME. Or better yet, find yourself in the company of some friends like the superbly talented Dan Rodriguez and the inimitably effervescent Steve Poltz! It's a deep dive into the art of songwriting with three of the most disarming and emotionally moving artists that this humble podcast episode description writer has had the pleasure of writing a podcast episode description for...  Suffering from aphantasia and need a visual aid to accompany your podcast?

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. But most importantly, we welcome the Ultimate Rock Star: Mike Campbell! Andy swears they met once when he was a kid… Was this a full-circle moment? Perhaps. Did Mike remember meeting Andy as a kid?

Get your heart right with a very special episode of The World Saving Podcast, in which Andy & Nick surprise dial up members of Umphrey's McGee to ask for unpaid life coaching. What nice boys. But what's all this about Frasco pledging to jail break Bayliss if he gets in trouble whilst touring Morocco?? Andy shares big news involving his face and updates on that oozing infection. Shout out to Denver airport's McDonalds Workers.

Andy Frasco is BACK from his various cruise obligations and high sea follies (hard life, I know) and ready to motivate YOU. Does he have stories that'll make your head spin? Duh. Is the band touring again soon? You betcha. But does he even miss his life back in Denver with his best friend & co-host, Nick?! Well, dear listener, tune in and find out...

Andy and the boys are on sojourn, sailing the seas of ease aboard the 311 Cruise. And because nature abhors a vacuum, Nick takes the microphone once again, aided by his buddy-in-arms Drew Birch, tackling variegated topics, such as THE NEWS. Trust Nick & Drew: the only true, fake-newsworthy source of seretonin based factoids and cultural musings you could hope to find this side of the trivia-sphere.

Righteous fiddling friend of the band, Allie Kral jumps on mic to get real deep in the shallow end with Andy & Nick. Don't miss electric reveals of who-kissed-who's and an honest discussion on the repercussions of chucking heavy objects at smarmy bandmates whilst driving on the road in the tour van. Plus!

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! Cuz our man Nick is going solo on the mic tonight to give you the latest drama, some hot nonsense, and juuuuuust enough credibility to make your mom trust us.  And if you're in Denver why not check out Nick's Trivia Night at Yacht Club (this place ain't really about boats, but there is drinking and plenty of mysterious international laws that apply) Call, leave a message, and tell us what YOU think makes someone a truly GOOD friend: (720) 996-2403  We are PSYCHED to partner up with our buddies at Volume.com!

Andy & Nick bid bon voyage to this year's Jam Cruise and we pray they remembered to hit record on the podcast machine whilst interviewing a star-studded lineup of artists aboard the boat. Please, for the love of god, always record. Plus! Tour is upon us. Check in on Andy's tour dates now!

While Andy & Nick trip the light fantastic on the epic party boat that is Jam Cruise (hopefully not tripping so hard they fall over board, am I right?), we got a new episode with updates from the boys! Is there any news on the upcoming tour? Or the new album?? And what of Jam Cruise's buffet??? But most importantly, on the Interview Hour, we welcome the singer-songwriter/performance powerhouse couple that is Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter, otherwise known as The War and Treaty!

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.

Another installment of half-baked wisdom from your two fully-baked hosts, Andy Frasco & Nick Gerlach. This week we offer you a full spectrum strain of podcast that is equal parts life advice AND bad decisions. Will there be hot takes? Absolutely. Will at least one of them regret something they say?

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. You know the kind of night I'm talking about, right? WILD.

The voicemail saga continues... In which our intrepid hosts debate on who the lucky winner of our $300 cash giveaway should be. Listen in to hear the boys lean on the classic, tried and true method of winning friends and influencing people: by buying their love with COLD HARD CASH. And while the prize money may be spent on someone more fortunate than you, dear listener; never forget: that we keep our phone lines open 24/7, year round to any and all fans of the pod who want to hear their voice on an episode (or at least to get in touch with their baby daddy) Call, leave a message, and tell us if you think that one of our hosts may be the father to your child: (720) 996-2403  Check out our new album!, L'Optimist on all platforms Follow us on Instagram @worldsavingpodcast For more information on Andy Frasco, the band and/or the blog, go to: AndyFrasco.com Produced by Andy Frasco, Nick Gerlach, Joe Angelhow, & Chris Lorentz Audio mix by Chris Lorentz Featuring: Mara Davis You!

Who wants $300? Hint: it's not us. Andy and Nick are back with an hour of that sweet, sweet artisinal chaos brewed up hot & steamy for ya. The fellas tackle one of life’s big questions: Who deserves 300 bucks, and why is it not Dolav?? Andy and Nick weigh the pros and cons of playing philanthropists while managing to offend at least three demographics along the way. Find out if $300 can really save the world (or at least buy you a good time?) And wait! There's still time, so call the voicemail and tell us why YOU should get it. Make it spicey, will ya? We want a voicemail as unpredictable as Andy’s sobriety streak.
