In this chaotic, hilarious, and brutally honest episode, Kodi & Shay sit down with the one and only Andy Frasco—musician, podcaster, and professional bringer of good vibes—to dive deep into the realities of touring, the insanity of the modern music industry, and the wild ride that is his life. 🎶🚐

🔥 What’s Inside This Episode?

🎸 From Hustler to Headliner – Andy takes us back to his early days, hustling as a teenage booking agent, cold-calling venues, and faking his way into the music business. (Spoiler: It worked.) Fast forward to today, and he’s headlining Mission Ballroom—his biggest indoor show ever!

💰 The Ugly Truth About Ticket Prices – Ever wondered why a $30 ticket suddenly turns into $57 at checkout? Andy breaks down the ridiculous fees, rising tour costs, and how musicians are getting squeezed while ticketing companies and venues rake in the cash.

👕 Merch Madness – Think $40 for a T-shirt is crazy? Andy explains why merch is one of the only ways bands actually make money and how rising production costs are putting a squeeze on independent artists.

🏡 Finally Finding "Home" – After 15+ years on the road and 200+ shows a year, Andy opens up about how Denver finally feels like home, the importance of community, and what it means to truly settle down.

🧠 Music & Mental Health – Touring isn’t all backstage parties and crowd surfing—it takes a toll. Andy shares how he’s learned to prioritize his mental health, ditch bad habits, and stay sane while constantly being on the move.

🤯 Snoop Dogg & Zac Brown?! – You read that right. Andy spills the details on a collab with Snoop Dogg & Zac Brown, how it came together, and what it means for his career as a songwriter.

🎤 The Pressure of Performance – Whether it’s a Tuesday night in Indiana or a packed festival stage, Andy and his band give 100% every night—because fans deserve a show, no matter what day of the week it is.

💀 Facing Mortality & Fighting for Happiness – Andy gets deep about watching his mother battle cancer, the fear of losing loved ones, and the importance of living in the moment. His take? Find joy, embrace the chaos, and don’t let the bad days win.
