Summary

Andy Frasco is back with a very special episode of The World Saving Podcast, in which he attempts to wrangle the buffonary that is his band: The U.N. Find out who the fresh meat is and while you're at it; catch up with them old dogs, too. But the real mystery? Where the hell did everyone else go?! Did they find Jesus? Join the circus? Escape to a remote island (nantucket) where Andy's calls can't reach them? Hmm... Maybe a little of column A thru C, huh?

Expect debauchery, Kris Lager, and a deep dive into the inner workings (or dysfunctions) of the most unpredictable band in rock 'n' roll history. And if you've ever wondered what it takes to survive in The U.N., let's just say you gotta have thick skin.

So grab a drink, lower your expectations, and join us for a family reunion that's less heartwarming than it is homoerotic.

Now you can see these rock n' roll ding-dongs in color, should you choose to watch this episode *exclusively* on Volume.com
