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?

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.
