Description
With open-minds, Kevin and Casey start the podcast listening to one famously despised pop song - obviously, since we can’t play the track for legal reasons, this is a quick homework assignment for our listeners to stream on their own. Kevin and Casey will give their first impressions of hearing the song as well as some insight into what the time was like when it was originally released. Next, since they are both musicians, they’ll break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of the tune’s musical attributes and lyricism. They’ll compare this song to similar songs (that are loved!) and discuss why the world has decided this song is a famous turd.

“Home”
2026/02/05
Kevin and Casey stomp, clap, and cringe their way through Home, the millennial love anthem turned Gen Z punching bag by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. Kevin compares it to moldy peaches (the band and the fruit), Casey defends its wedding-core earnestness, and together they ask: is this song a barefoot bride in a $90K dress—or just the musical equivalent of a free people catalog?

"Achy Breaky Heart"
2026/01/22
It’s a yeehaw fever dream. Casey and Kevin dive into the mulleted monster hit that made Billy Ray Cyrus a country-pop icon and, eventually, Miley’s dad. Is it Wham! with twang? Is it Elvis with white Reeboks? Yes. Also: George Michael, Hank Williams, Jar Jar Binks, and how this boot-scootin’ banger somehow walked so “Old Town Road” could gallop.

“Girl You Know It’s True”
2026/01/08
Girl, you know it’s… complicated. This episode starts with preschool teachers named Miss Hiney and ends with a philosophical breakdown of what it means to be real. Kevin and Casey dive into the glittery chaos of Milli Vanilli: two men, zero vocals, infinite vibes. There’s a surprisingly passionate defense of karaoke, an unhinged metaphor involving spoon players and generational trauma, and a reminder that sometimes the greatest lip-sync of all is pretending you’re fine. Is it fraud? Is it performance art? Is it drag?? Is it… kinda genius???

"Gooba"
2025/12/18
Kevin and Casey open Pandora’s glittery, face-tattooed box and unleash GOOBA by Tekashi 6ix9ine. Is it a song? A threat? A preschool fight set to a trap beat? Kevin wonders if rebellion peaked with yelling “Are you dumb, stupid, or dumb,” Casey gets hypnotized by a Dalmatian, and together they ask: is this punk, parody, or paint-splattered purgatory?

"Rico Suave"
2025/09/25
Kevin and Casey unbutton their silk shirts and dive deep into Gerardo’s Rico Suave — a Spanglish fever dream that somehow influenced both Razor Ramon and a generation of horny middle schoolers. Kevin recalls its inescapable 1990 reign, Casey uncovers Gerardo’s post–suave pivot to pastor, and together they ask: is this song misogyny in a mesh tank top… or just deeply misunderstood meat-based poetry?

"We Tigers"
2025/09/11
Kevin and Casey enter the forest of We Tigers to figure out if Animal Collective is genius, nonsense, or a group of toddlers let loose with Ableton. Kevin feels nostalgic for North Brooklyn noise rock, Casey hears a haunted ice cream truck, and together they ask: are we hearing art… or just being chased by experimental zoo animals?

The U2 Album They Forced on Everyone’s Phone
2025/08/21
Kevin and Casey do the unthinkable and actually listen to a track from U2’s infamous album that they thrust upon all iPhones in 2014. The boys will decide if this this promotional tactic was on The Edge of inappropriate or if they’re pro Bono.

"Never Gonna Give You Up"
2025/07/24
Kevin and Casey tackle the most successful prank in internet history: Never Gonna Give You Up. Is it just meme-core nonsense, or does Rick Astley actually kind of...slap? Kevin questions everything he thought he knew about white guys with deep voices, Casey wonders if they’ve been emotionally manipulated by a trench coat, and together they ask: is this song a joke, or are we the joke?

"Sour Girl"
2025/07/10
Kevin and Casey take on Stone Temple Pilots’ "Sour Girl" and ask the tough questions: Is this grunge? Is this glam? Is this just a moody guy in eyeliner yelling nonsense? Kevin rediscovers the song he forgot existed, Casey debates if STP were secretly Beatles fans in flannel, and together they decide: will they give it a sour chance or just stay sweetly indifferent?

"Rent"
2025/06/12
Kevin and Casey ask the million-dollar question: can you still give Rent a chance if Broadway makes you break out in hives? Kevin revisits his teen trip to the show, Casey dissects every riff like a forensic scientist, and together they wrestle with whether maximalist musical theater can still, well… pay the rent.

"MMMbop"
2025/05/15
Kevin and Casey take on Hanson’s MMMBop to answer life’s big questions: Is it a vibe? A warning about mortality? A flower metaphor gone rogue? Kevin considers joining the band, Casey challenges the lyrics, and together they decide — bop it or drop it?

"Mambo No. 5"
2025/04/17
A little bit of Lou Bega in our life. A little bit of Casey by Kevin’s side. A little bit of chancey, here I am. A little bit divine or is it damned?

"You're Beautiful"
2025/04/03
Kevin and Casey tackle James Blunt’s hauntingly infectious SINGER SONGWRITER STARBUCKS ballad from 2005. Will the boys find this song beautiful or is James out of Kevin’s dream Blunt rotation?

"One Last Breath"
2025/03/20
Kevin and Casey are six feet from the edge and they’re thinking: maybe they should give Creed a chancey. Are the boys of bad faith or will they adhere to the Creed?

"Friday"
2025/02/27
Kevin and Casey ask the inevitable question: do you GOTTA get down on Friday? Kevin, a “Friday virgin”, hears the song for the first time. Will the boys say “TGIF!” or “TTYL!”
