Long before BTS there was BSB and in this episode, K&C take on a song that should really RIP. Is this boy band smash actually larger than life or is it better off dead?

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.

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???

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?

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?
