Y.M.C.A. by Village People\12/22/2022

Y.M.C.A....an absolutely loony song. Yet also a generational anthem. And also, a red herring, because this episode is not actually about Y.M.C.A. This episode is actually about a shocking reveal that will change the future of this podcast and possibly the world. Goodbye, for now. You can watch the video version of this episode HERE!

'Sugar' by Maroon 5 (w/ Ena Da)\12/15/2022

Evan & Andrew are joined by Ena Da to discuss the detestable but also detestably catchy song Sugar. There are just so many problems. Not least, how do we understand "sugar" and "red velvet" in light of recent illuminations of Adam Levine's idea of romance? More fundamentally, is Maroon 5 even still a band? Or just five guys cosplaying as a rock band while they sing along to Mike Posner studio tracks? You can watch the video version of this episode HERE! Guest: Ena Da.

'One Headlight' by The Wallflowers\12/8/2022

Nepotism babies are so hot right now! But have they…always been?!? Evan & Andrew discuss the hottest nepotism baby of the 90s outside of Socks Clinton, Evan desperately and fruitlessly attempts to get Andrew to stop talking about Bob Dylan and start talking about ̶J̶a̶k̶o̶b̶ ̶D̶y̶l̶a̶n̶ The Wallflowers instead. But the sonorous tones of the organ on ‘One Headlight’ keeps drawing Andrew back to Dylan the elder like moth to a flame.

'Long December' by Counting Crows (w/ Pat Cassels)\12/1/2022

How long is it? Every single kid knows exactly how many days are left until Christmas, every harried mom and dad knows how few shopping days are left until the 25th, yet Adam Duritz and The Counting Crows are out here acting like Einsteinian physics applies to the Gregorian Calendar. Can our intrepid and unabashedly festive hosts take the most heartbreaking song in the advent oeuvre and turn it into something that will go on your family's Christmas Eve playlist?

'You're Still The One' by Shania Twain (w/ Jiji Lee)\11/17/2022

Ever thought about how making a billion dollars would ruin your life? Maybe you pondered a lot of options (revolutionary coup, botched CoolSculpting, basic bitch drug cartel kidnapping), but you MIGHT have missed an obvious one if you haven’t read all the People mag listicles about Shania Twain’s divorce-slash-husband-swap!

Punch Up The Jam

'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' by Green Day (w/ Joanna Hausmann)\11/10/2022

Have you ever felt like you were the only lonely person walking down a boulevard? Well we've got news for you. You're not alone. 90% of all humans have felt like they're the only one who can understand themselves before their brain finishes developing at age 25.

'Eye of The Tiger' by Survivor (w/ Arthur Meyer)\11/3/2022

Is it rude to name your band after an event in which your friends and colleagues died?

Punch Up The Jam

'Replay' by Iyaz (w/ Phil Jamesson)\10/27/2022

Can a song be TOO catchy? Can a song be improved by making it WORSE, unlike what we do every other week, which is making every song better?

Punch Up The Jam

'Lovely Day' by Bill Withers (w/ Michael Gregory)\10/20/2022

Andrew, Evan, and nearly genetically identical guest Michael, discuss a dimension of our multiverse in which Bill Withers became a billionaire by having all his songs recorded by Aretha Franklin and Michael Jackson instead of singing them himself.

Punch Up The Jam

'Young Americans' by David Bowie (w/ Julian Shapiro-Barnum)\10/13/2022

Grudgingly yet proudly acknowledging their middle-aged-ness, Evan and Andrew call in a ringer to shed some light on what the hell David Bowie is imagining when he thinks of Young Americans.

Punch Up The Jam

'Goodbye Earl' by The Chicks\10/6/2022

A red-eye flight?!?! FROM Atlanta?!?! Well those travel...EAST! Evan & Andrew wax philosophical about why The Chicks' "Goodbye Earl" demonstrably takes place in France, whether they love music too much or hate music too much, and the dumbest arguments they've ever had about songwriting during their last audio-only episode before Punch Up The Jam's big move to audio AND video next week!

Punch Up The Jam

'Rude' by MAGIC! (w/ Wolves of Glendale)\9/29/2022

If you learn one thing from this song, it's that when anything goes wrong in your life, you simply must accuse others of being rude. How RUDE! You asked me to put a shirt on in the DMV?? Rude!!
