5. He Also Helps Teens With Bigger Problems
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdiu4Ph6Bzg As well as helping teenagers blow stuff up, Andrew W.K. has also been known to help young people with more pressing concerns. A televised precursor to his Village Voice advice column, MTV2s Your Friend Andrew W.K. saw the singer helping fans with their problems. 11 episodes were made, each around ten minutes long, and in them W.K. read out letters asking for his advice and guidance. Some could be dealt with by an answer from the shows genial host, but the more complex ones would see Andrew W.K. travelling to the writers home and staying with them for several days while they worked out the issue. More recently, he has also made another show aimed at a younger audience, this time a six part web series called Meet Me At The Reck. According to W.K. its about helping kids think for themselves and to keep an open mind about the world and their own lives, and that its good to do what you want and what youre told.. The shows trailer called it Sesame Street for the digital generation, and its available on Disney subsidiary Maker.tv. Meet Me At The Reck aims to promote the enjoyment of life, even if you encounter problems, and features guest appearances from Jack Black, Zach Woods (Gabe Lewis in The Office), as well as aliens, wizards and a Sasquatch. Like a badly misquoted version of Field Of Dreams, if you ask Andrew W.K. for help, he will come.
