Episodes

  • 217 - Waterfalls

    February 17th, 2025  |  1 hr 23 mins
    aids, analogies, drug dealers, hiv, tlc, waterfalls

    The guys go against the advice of T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chilli and chase Waterfalls by TLC where they discuss sex worker kinks, drug dealers, and whether or not "chasing waterfalls" is a good analogy.

  • 216 - Invisible

    February 10th, 2025  |  1 hr 19 mins
    clay aiken, d-side, emotional manipulation, invisible, stalkers, stalking

    Seth and Marc are graced with the presence of "Chef" Kevin Bartelt of Hollywood Handbook/We're Here To Help/Action Boyz/etc. fame to talk about the troublesome single Invisible. Originally performed by Irish boy band D-Side, Clay Aiken actually heard it and decided to put out his own version. What we want to know is... why?

  • 215 - Cancelled

    February 3rd, 2025  |  1 hr 24 mins
    cancelled, give me a break, motley crue, woke mobs, wokeness

    The faint smell of Aqua-Net is in the air... Seth and Marc call upon the expertise of metal lover Doug to discuss the new Motley Crue single Cancelled. This is them at their worst trying desperately to drum up a new fanbase that hates the "woke mob." Unsurprisingly, it sucks.

  • 214 - Freaxxx

    January 27th, 2025  |  1 hr 19 mins
    autotune, awful music, brokencyde, club, crunkcore, freaxxx, panties

    Seth and Marc invite past guest Nick to talk about a song he referred to as "hot doo-doo ass"; Freaxxx by Brokencyde. There is not much to say about this song other than it is horrendous and I'm sorry we did it.

  • 213 - Take On Me

    January 20th, 2025  |  53 mins 44 secs
    80's, a-ha, falsetto, synth galore, take me on, take on me

    The dudes try their hand at a rough translation of the 80's a-ha hit Take On Me. Is this a case of Norwegian-to-English mayhem or is it just stupid and kind of creepy?

  • 212 - Blurred Lines

    January 13th, 2025  |  1 hr 32 mins
    alan thicke, blurred lines, date rape culture, i know you want it, pharrell, robin thicke, t.i., yowzers

    This week, the guys go over one of the creepiest hits of the 21st century so far... Blurred Lines by nepo-baby Robin Thicke. Contrary to popular belief, we do not "want it." Yikes.

  • 211 - Slam Dunk (Da Funk)

    January 6th, 2025  |  1 hr 6 mins
    5ive, basketball, boy bands, five, freaky, funky, slam dunk, slam dunk (da funk)

    The guys take a trip across the pond to listen to British boy band 5ive and their first hit single Slam Dunk (Da Funk.) It is chock full of basketball references that sound like they come from someone who heard about basketball from a distant friend once. They also talk about merging their penii together.

  • 210 - I'm Yours

    December 30th, 2024  |  1 hr 15 mins
    fedoras, giving, hitchhiking, i'm yours, jason mraz, love

    Seth and Marc talk about their love-hate relationship with Jason Mraz and, particularly, the cheesiness of his song I'm Yours which goes into his philosophy about giving and love like it was written by a college flunky on MDMA.

  • 209 - Baby, It's Cold Outside

    December 23rd, 2024  |  1 hr 26 mins
    baby it's cold outside, consent, dean martin, john legend, kelly clarkson, pressure

    The guys invite first time guests Chris and Crissy to talk about the elephant in the holiday room... Baby, It's Cold Outside. Is it as bad as people say? Is it worse? We have a lengthy discussion about the lyrics, consent, and modern covers.

  • 208 - Cherry Pie

    December 16th, 2024  |  53 mins 31 secs
    cherry pie, homoerotocism, licking the beater, warrant, water

    The guys talk about the Warrant hit single that almost never was: Cherry Pie. Written at the last moment and changing the course of direction for the band, this song is riddled with terrible lyrics that sound like they were written by a bunch of horny 20-something year olds... oh wait.

  • 207 - Abracadabra

    December 9th, 2024  |  1 hr 1 min

    Seth and Marc pull the lyrics for Steve Miller Band's Abracadabra out of a big ol' hat to talk about how terrible they are. Apparently about a variety of things including Diana Ross, the Original Amateur Hour, and panties with angels' faces on them, this song is a doozy. Unfortunately, they are not able to make them disappear.

  • 206 - Keep On Loving You

    December 2nd, 2024  |  56 mins 15 secs
    divorce, hissing, infidelity, keep on loving you, reo speedwagon, snakes

    The guys get into the depths of the lyrics to REO Speedwagon's monster ballad Keep On Loving You. Known for its chorus proclaiming a never-ending love, the verses tell a much bleaker story that is often overshadowed.

  • 205 - You Can Call Me Al

    November 25th, 2024  |  1 hr 32 mins
    african music, apartheid, art garfunkel, chevy chase, graceland, introspection, paul simon, you can call me al

    A monster-sized episode! The guys are back after a mini vacation and have the immense joy to talk about the did-you-know-ness of You Can Call Me Al. How deep can a song with Chevy Chase lip sync-ing the lyrics in the music video get? You be the judge. Also, a big announcement!

  • 204 - Cheap Sunglasses

    November 18th, 2024  |  43 mins 21 secs
    cheap sunglasses, deguello, eyewear, molasses, sweaters, thick black frames, zz top

    The guys listen to the 1979 ZZ Top ode to shitty eyewear... Cheap Sunglasses. Partially about the titular glasses, it's also about stalking a woman because hey! Why not?

  • 203 - Fireflies

    November 11th, 2024  |  45 mins 9 secs
    fireflies, foxtrot, insomnia, lightning bugs, owl city, sock hop

    Seth and Marc would like to make themselves believe... that these lyrics are not complete ass. The guys stay up late poring over the lyrics to the nonsense insomniac diddy Fireflies by Owl City. A song about getting hugs ad learning to dance from bugs. Okay...

  • 202 - Amber

    November 4th, 2024  |  55 mins 3 secs
    311, amber, aura, frat guys, from chaos, mood rings

    Woooaaah! Seth and Marc struggle to find the real message behind the 311 reggae rock ballad Amber. With lyrics that sound like they were made up on the fly by a horny frat guy trying to get some strange, are we just wasting our time? Probably
