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.

And on the Interview Hour, we're welcoming back the one & only, Garrett Dutton, aka G Love!

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.

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.
