"Baby Shark"
Kevin and Casey finally tackle the children’s song that conquered the planet: Baby Shark. With a brutally honest nine-year-old guest in the studio, they investigate whether it’s a timeless kids’ classic, a New Order synth ripoff, or just a song designed to slowly melt parents’ brains. Between fart …

"Stars are Blind"
Kevin and Casey check into the Paris Hilton pop era to ask the real question: is Stars Are Blind a secret bop or just reggae-lite room service? They unpack fame-for-being-famous, 2000s tabloid chaos, and lyrics that somehow jump from Greek gods to “we could get physical” in under three minutes. It’…

“Home”
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.

"Achy Breaky Heart"
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?

"Gooba"
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?

"Rico Suave"
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 togeth…

"We Tigers"
Kevin and Casey enter the forest of We Tigers to figure out if Animal Collective is genius, nonsense, or a group of toddlers let loose with Ableton. Kevin feels nostalgic for North Brooklyn noise rock, Casey hears a haunted ice cream truck, and together they ask: are we hearing art… or just being c…

The U2 Album They Forced on Everyone’s Phone
Kevin and Casey do the unthinkable and actually listen to a track from U2’s infamous album that they thrust upon all iPhones in 2014. The boys will decide if this this promotional tactic was on The Edge of inappropriate or if they’re pro Bono.

"Never Gonna Give You Up"
Kevin and Casey tackle the most successful prank in internet history: Never Gonna Give You Up. Is it just meme-core nonsense, or does Rick Astley actually kind of...slap?
