BONUS EP: Who Wants 300 Dollars?

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? No doubt. Will this episode somehow still change your life? Look, anything’s possible. So buckle up kiddos, and tell your mom we said hi... *wink* Call, leave a message, and tell us how you lost your virginity: (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 Shawn Eckels Andee "Beats" Avila

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.

Good tidings to you on this totally normal, prosaic Tuesday morning. PSYCHE. Today's anything but; cuz Andy's sharing with you a new song called "Try Not to Die" from his band- The U.N. And on the Interview Hour we have two masters in the field of psychedelic research, James Fadiman and Jordan Gruber! These guys have all the answers to questions you didn't even know you had. Why not learn a little something about yourself? And in the words of the inimitable Bill Hicks: "SQUEEGEE YOUR THIRD EYE" Call, leave a message, and tell us a mushroom story: (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 The U.N.

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?

Andy unpacks his trip to Italy and alleviates worries about a potential move back to his hometown of Los Angeles. Andy may soon help Nick see the magic in the chaotic mess of L.A., but Nick still has something to show Andy about the quiet elegance of a green room couch. (Denver is FULL UP on green room couches fyi) Listen closely as Nick’s meticulousness and Andy’s free spirit blossoms into a deep, loving friendship, full of late-night texts and shared passions. In the end, this pod has become more than just banter about drugs, sports, and jam band stars— no. It is now the story of two souls who found love and laughter in each other, both on and off the mic. This is, La Dolce Mic. Coming soon to a theatre near you... We're psyched to partner up with our buddies at Volume.com!
