Summary

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.

    "Shots"
    Apr 30 2026

    Kevin and Casey revisit Shots by Lil Jon & LMFAO and immediately spiral--from college party flashbacks to a full breakdown of early 2000s drinking culture. They debate whether the song is secretly genius at capturing pure chaos, or just the dumbest thing ever recorded… while admitting the “shots, shots, shots” hook might be physically impossible to resist. It’s loud, ridiculous, and somehow effective... but are we giving it a chance, or leaving it back at the frat?

    "I Miss You"
    Apr 16 2026

    Kevin and Casey dive into eyeliner, MySpace nostalgia, and the goth-emo moodboard that is I Miss You—a surprising left turn from Blink-182’s usual pop-punk chaos into something stripped-down, spooky, and… kind of beautiful? Plus: the iconic Tom DeLonge “WHERE ARE YOU” moment, brushes-on-snare influence, and why this might be the most CVS-core Blink song ever recorded. It’s emo, it’s earnest, it’s a little ridiculous, and somehow, it absolutely works.

    "It Wasn't Me"
    Apr 2 2026

    Kevin and Casey finally tackle the most confident lie ever put to a beat, It Wasn't Me, and immediately spiral into villas, camcorders, and elite-level bad advice. Between unpacking Shaggy’s iconic voice, questioning the song’s chaotic internal logic, and giving overdue credit to the unsung hook king Ricardo Ducent, they ask the big question: is this a genius pop-reggae banger or just the original gaslighting anthem?
