EP 251: 2023 World Saving Awards Ceremony with Andy & Nick Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

Andy & Nick reunite after their 3 month "break." Is all copacetic? Can they come together in the spirit of holiday cheer without extraneous recriminations?? (not no, recriminations, mind you. But juuuuuust enough) And what may be at stake, you ask? Well. The boys are tasked with the important yearly duty of *drum roll* end-of-the-year awards! Find out the winners of such categories as: the biggest dud of a show, the best kiss (gay only), and the hottest boy on the pod (my money is on Ken Jennings). Awwww yeah. We love ya (and each other, obviously). Happy new year! (Kiss your homies) Drink lots of water (and make sure to use lots of parenthetical asides).

oh and guess what... Watch the full episodes Exclusively on Volume.com now in color!

EP 250: Mark Normand & Yannis Pappas (Season 5 finale) Dec 19, 2023

Show notes

In which we present to you the finale of what continues to be season 5... or were it 6? We may be confused about the entirely arbitrary season number, but you know what we're not confused about? The love we have for y'all. Andy checks in with each member of the U.N. to give thanks, praise, and due shade. Listen in for some highlights of this past year and to ask the eternal question: Will this band of brothers be content with the end of tour? Can they find peace in the quiet of home life?? Or will they long for the sweet embrace of THE ROAD (and each other's loving embrace)??? Kiss your homies. And on the Interview Hour we got comedians, Mark Normand & Yannis Pappas! Flex your love for other and don't shy away from laughing at yourself. Stay tuned for next week's award ceremony with one, Mr. Nick Gerlach. Peace OUT

EP 249: Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi All Stars) & Joe Hertler Dec 12, 2023

Show notes

Christmas comes early this year as Andy and the boys bring y'all a new song at the top of the episode and it's a certifiable BANGER. Life is easy with friends like Steve Poltz. Our boy, Damn Skippy joins the fray, and wait, Joe Hertler is also opening the episode?? If you don't know these fine fellows already: Get. On. This. Train. (Stay off the devil's dandruff tho) And on the Interview Hour we got the guitarist of North Mississippi Allstars, Luther Dickinson! As is tradition, Andy dives deep into the shallow end of the conversation pool and we all learn a little bit about life, the universe, and this crazy thing we call music. Ain't life grand?

EP 248: Katherine Blanford (comedian) & Dogs in a Pile Dec 05, 2023

Show notes

The U.N. pipes up to remind Andy (and all of us) that checking your instagram isn't worth crashing the tour van. Why check your socials when you're already surrounded by such beautiful boys as Dogs in a Pile?? Andy gets deep with them before their set and learns a little more about what makes these guys tick (and what psychedelics they prefer). Remember: if it ain't a heady jam, it ain't gonna make the record! And on the Interview Hour, we time travel back to Bert Kreischer's comedy cruise as we get to know the hilarious Katherine Blanford! Andy and Nick may have met their comedic match in her, and now you too can experience her "human Golden Retriever presence" in a town near you: www.katherineblanford.com

EP 247: Dan Reeder Nov 28, 2023

Show notes

A special message of gratitude from our friend Kris Lager. You know what we're thankful for? All of yous, our dear listeners. Thanks for making our lives richer by lending us your ear, so that we may fill it with all our hipster doofus gobbledygook. Plus! Some sordid stories of Andy's solo trip to Italy & Berlin. And on the Interview Hour, a special treat as we welcome Lafayette's legendary singer/songwriter Dan Reeder! Dan has a collection of songs from the past few decades that are brimming with humor, insight, and damn good melodies to boot. However, Frasco is left wondering: does the U.N. even listen to this podcast?? At the very least, we hope they're catching some zzz's post-european tour. Love ya, boys!

EP 246: Grace Bowers Nov 21, 2023

Show notes

Updates from Europe with a dash of future plans involving band family vacations. And with Thanksgiving just around the corner, will this deranged family fulfill their desires in sumptuous Berlin; the town in which you really do need thick skin?? But most importantly: Ernie's favorite doner. And on the Interview Hour we got Nashville rising guitar hero, Grace Bowers! Even at the age of 17, Grace is a force to be reckoned with and is proving herself time and again on a variety of stages. Andy investigates her origin stories as you can do at her website: gracebowers.com
