In 1997 Aerosmith boldly revealed their favorite color with a heavy case of innuendo. Kevin and Casey give “red but not quite” a chance and determine if Pink is a kink or if it stinks.

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 revisit Jason Mraz’s early-2000s hit “Remedy (I Won’t Worry)” and unpack everything from open mic culture and college-field singalongs to questionable scatting, Mr. A-Z album titles, and the eternal struggle between authenticity and overproduction. Plus, is the remedy really not worrying, or just passing the blunt in a field?

Kevin and Casey finally give MAGIC!’s “Rude” the chancy treatment, diving into reggae cosplay, Matthew Davids energy, the world’s most confusing wedding storyline, and a guitar solo so bad it almost circles back to genius. Along the way they debate ska waves, Kurt Cobain, Vampire Weekend, and whether “Why you gotta be so rude?” is actually one of the funniest hooks ever written. Also: do the singer and the dad become “boys” at the altar or not?

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?
