Do YOU know it’s Christmas?? Kevin and Casey do. So in this very special Omar they tackle a classic 80s supergroup anthem. Does this Band Aid cut heal our boys or is it too much of a boo-boo?

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.

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?

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… 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???
