Hey, I have a comment, a question, and a concern. My first comment is, keep saving the world. My question is, where's my 300 bucks? And my concern is, my mailbox doesn't open, so I don't know how you're going to hold me. Hey guys, it's Andy. It's New Year's Eve. Hot off my two week break, well not really, we're gigging tonight in St. Louis. But we're going to do a little bonus episode.

I want the fans to decide who wins this 300 bucks. So as you might have known from a previous episode, we're giving out 300 bucks. It was episode 300. Chris, play the clip. We got to remind about the voicemail. What was the $300 thing again? We're giving out $300. Anyone who voicemails the podcast and gives us the best voicemail why you think you deserve this $300. Yeah, or any advice if you want advice too. If you want advice and the best thing you're asking for advice for, we'll get $300. Yeah, or any advice if you want advice to the funniest. If you want advice and the best thing you're asking for advice for, we'll get $300. It's in the description.

The phone number's in the description, guys. It's not hard to find. We got a bunch of voicemails, actually. People who want the $300. So we are going to play the voicemails for you. Some of them are great, some of them are funny, some of them are heartfelt. And we want the fans to decide which ones, which person we should give the $300 to

for a little, you know, I'm going to demo them and be like, what up, thank you for loving the pod. But yeah, I think you're going to, really heartfelt stuff in there, and I want you guys to be involved in who wins this little dough. It's not much, but at least we could do for the people who need some help, but at least we could do for the people

who need some help, and hopefully when we make more money, we'll be able to give out more money, because that's what we got to do in this world. Take as much as you give. All right guys, I love you. We're off next week. I got to get ready for this JJ Gray tour. Buy your tickets for the JJ Gray tour.

Happy new year, and we'll get this party started for season six here pretty soon. Hey, what up? My name is Chapman. I'm just sitting at the top of this lift shack. I'm a lifty. I feel like I deserve the award because I went to work today on two hours of sleep while I was hanging out with my friends last night.

But anyway, I could use the 300. We got this nitrous tank and it's like going to run out soon and it costs about $300 to fill it up. Yeah, I mean it'd be nice to have that. But anyway, I appreciate y'all because the podcast is keeping me awake in this last 30 minutes I got going before I get to ride down the hill and go home and do some nitrous. So thanks so much. Thanks so much. You all have a good weekend. Happy holidays. This is Toner, McAvoy. I love you guys and I can't wait to listen to the podcast. Love

you homies. Peace out. I am calling to voice my vote for Chabin Martin to receive the 300 episode, $300 prize award. Uh, his nitrous take has gone empty and without it, he can't do balloons. If he can't do balloons, I don't know what's going to happen. Yo, what's up, Nick? It's Dola. I heard y'all talking about giving away money. 300th episode. The real star of the show deserves that money because you guys fucking love me. I let Andy stay in my place multiple times like in the last few weeks. I'm fucking broke. I let Andy stay in my place multiple times like in the last few weeks. I'm fucking

broke. I really need the money. I'm a star. Sports with Dolav is like your biggest most famous segment that you guys do. Plus you guys talk all this fucking shit on fantasy, but you guys fucking both suck dick so please give me that $300 I'm the best I need it Andy owes me I fucking clean up after him I take care of him please give me the money I fucking need it Nick thank you hi Nick hi Frasco this is Joe Storrez, drummer, drum tech vocalist, manager, promoter for Sledgehammer. Hey man, I've covered some of your stuff. I think I deserved it. Well, I don't really deserve anything, let's be real. But hey, I'm about to lose my place and I'm giving everything I can to starting this project. Do you have any advice on how

to find good members and make stuff happen? Greatly appreciate it. It's been hell trying to find committed members and even just putting an EPK together to get into the studio because you know music ain't cheap. Anyway Crasco I'm going to keep plugging along and hopefully I'll be opening a show for you someday. I'll be like hey remember that time when I left you this voicemail? Anyway later guys and please save my ass. Picture this. It's 3 a.m. at a music festival. You're wandering around looking for any food

vendor but alas they're all closed. Then you stumble upon the magical wonderful world that is Steph's cereal bar. You see a hundred different boxes of cereal and coolers full of milk and ice and realize it's completely free. A free cereal bar in the middle of a music festival? Is there anything better than that? Every donation we receive will help feed a hungry hippie. We also do good in the community outside of the festival world, working with local organizations to help fight those facing hunger and insecurities.

Deaf Serial Bar is a huge fan of Andy Frasco in the UN and we loved rocking out to you guys at the Ramble Festival this year. We hope you had a chance to stop and check us out. If you want some more information, please visit our socials and website www.deafserialbar.org and that's steps with an F like Frasco. I believe in your podcast and I hope you believe in Steph's cereal bar, because we're feeding the hungry one bowl of cereal at a time for free.

Thanks for listening, and I really, really, really hope that you consider Steph's cereal bar. Thanks. So, listen to you guys every week. Definitely don't deserve the $300. Probably blow it up, stupid shit. But just want to say thank you for giving me something to look forward to every Tuesday. Definitely some good shit to re-listen to too.

Appreciate you guys. Bye. Andy and Nick, I'm touring right now. I want to take care of myself and get the tickets to your Brooklyn bowl show and Philly and get my son tickets to the first flyers game, which he asked for, for Christmas. The advice is not to pick my son versus me, but do I buy these items and short my bill in January? I call on Monday night and I heard in the podcast on Tuesday, you notice that you do not give away the $300. Please consider me, though in 2025, I can pay all my bills, stay off the pills and not die.

Happy holidays, Merry Christmas. Can't wait to see you in February. Yo, Andy, Nick. Congratulations on 300 episodes, man. Killer show. You guys got some of the most honest interviews out there. Love what you guys got some of the most honest interviews out there love what you guys are doing and now you know Got a couple weeks until jam cruise. You know I think I need that

$300 because my ass is planning on proposing on that that trip. I could use another $300 the house celebrate Let's do it up, and you see you in a few weeks over, well, a couple months over on the cruise. Guys, keep it up. Love you. Thanks. Hey, what up, guys? My name is Alyssa, and I have the perfect person in mind that deserves the 300th episode prize.

My bestie Stephanie created this outrageously funky and generous way to give back to not only our crazy ass festival family, but our local communities as well. So a few years ago at a festival, she created Steph's Cereal Bar, which is an all weekend long 24 hour free cereal buffet. A lot of people have a hard time getting over the word free, but it's absolutely free not only to bring people together, but to make sure everyone has access to a free meal. No wooks are fucked up on an empty stomach. Party responsibly and all that. We give back to the communities by donating money or goods that are received from fundraising over the festivals to local

food pantries and stuff. So the nonprofit part is all too real. I've seen Stephanie personally dish out hundreds, if not thousands of her own money to keep this dream of hers alive. Although we run on donations, Steph is usually paying out of pocket to feed festivals full of thousands of people from time. She is absolutely the most generous girl I've ever met and I can't think of anyone more deserving of this prize.

Thank you guys. Stay cool. Hey guys, this is Jerry. I was listening to one of your podcasts today. There's like a fat tab of acid. I was really curious, where is your favorite city to trip in and what is the scariest food you've ever had while tripping? I'm currently looking at my Chipotle. It looks real angry at me. And typically I thought me and Chipotle had a good relationship. But I don't know if I'm

just going through it right now or what. But I wanted to phone in and I saw this number. Alrighty, you guys have a good one. Christmas. Hi, this is Jackie Nian of Steph Serial Bar, and I just wanted to nominate Stephanie Wall of Steph Serial Bar for the free giveaway. I can think of no one more deserving of this opportunity and of this money to go towards her nonprofit. Stephanie Wall is a beautiful human being who has been through many trials and tribunes

and through her life and coming through all that and wanting to still give to the community and give her all and give back. She is truly amazing. Thank you so much for your time. Go Steph for Steph cereal bar. Hi, Andy and Nick. My name's Patrick Malloy out here in New Jersey, Asbury Park. So you guys, on Memorial Day weekend, and then follow them up on the rooftop

on Labor Day weekend and then follow them up on the rooftop on Labor Day weekend. And I've been listening to the podcast. I have three kids and I can really use 300 bucks. Hope you guys have a great day and can't wait for the next episode. What is up world saving podcast friends? My name is Steph and I am calling from Steph's Cereal Bar. I don't know if you've ever seen us at any local festivals such as the Ramble, but we are pretty sure the only free cereal buffet at your local music festival.

I think we really deserve the prize because we put back into the community at every festival we attend. So we set up a free cereal buffet for all of the Wooks to go and enjoy a free cereal whenever they want at absolutely no cost. I'm really hoping that you guys hear this and that you consider Steph's Cereal Bar as one of the prize winners because it would truly be an honor to us. I know that we would put it back into the community. We're also a New Jersey nonprofit 501c3, so any donation that you guys make towards us, we could also write off for taxes for you.

So I hope you hear this and I hope you've checked out Deaf Serial Bar at the Ramble Festival, Beard Fest, Camp Jam, and hopefully some more festivals come 2025. Again, check us out at steffserialbar.org on Facebook and Instagram and other social medias. Thank you so much. We love you guys and I listen to your podcasts all the time. We love our community.

We love taking care of everybody and we really, really hope that we can help serve the community as well. You podcast all the time. We love our community. We love taking care of everybody. And we really, really hope that we can help serve the community as well. You guys are the bomb. Thanks so much. Hi, Nick and Andy. This is Lori Altamira calling to try to win the 300 bucks so I can upgrade three tickets for the New Year's show.

I think it would be for a great cause. I would like to win it. I'll check with you later, hopefully, we're getting that money. Talk to you soon. Bye. Yo, what's up, Nick? It's your boy, Dolav, the star,

the real star of Sports with Dolav. Want to hit you up about this raffle thing you guys are doing for episode 300. I can't believe you guys made it to episode 300. Anyways, I wanted to let you know that for the holidays, my lady really wants me to get a penis reduction. I'm hurting her and it's not comfortable for her. And I really need the money. She said that if I don't get a penis reduction, she might divorce me. So please give me $300. I need it. I love you. Fuck you. Late.
