Summary

Andy Frasco sits down with Wolves of Glendale for a wildly honest, hilarious, and surprisingly deep conversation about comedy music, blowing up online, and saying "yes" when the universe nudges you. They break down how Wolves of Glendale went from Berklee kids and side projects to opening for Tenacious D, selling out shows, and building a massive fanbase. You'll hear how comedy and musicianship collided to create something real, plus why testing songs live, embracing failure, and trusting your gut still beats "posting at the right time." The crew also dives into Iron Songwriter, their new time-crunch songwriting series that turns movie lines into full songs in under an hour. If you're a musician, comedian, creator, or just someone trying to figure out how the hell anything works anymore, stick around.
