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) (Musical interlude with vocal harmonies) [Outro] Nick only knows, Nick only knows, Nick only knows what Andy would do. {written by our cumputer overlords at chatgpt} We're psyched to partner up with our buddies at Volume.com!

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 ask: how do you not recall if you've ever written a song with G Love??

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!

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-instrumentalist, Miles Doughty! With vibes so smooth, you'll feel like you're sitting on a sandy beach drinking a tasty cocktail... Or are you, really?? Welcome to the MATRIX, yall. (Turns out it's been a simulation all along) Why not crack open a Belching Beaver and enjoy the ride? 110001010100100001 (idk drunk) And guess what... now you can see a cool dog by the name of Denzel should you choose to watch this episode *exclusively* on Volume.com... now in color!  Generally speaking, we are psyched to partner up with our buddies at Volume.com!

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?!

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 for the Johnny Depp of Depression! (deppression, clinically) Boy, is this metaphor strained or what! Keep those post-show mushrooms flowing, people. Us stage monkeys need the good stuff to keep our minds healthy.

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?

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 Golden Highway’s performances far from dialed in.
