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.

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 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?

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 chased by experimental zoo animals?

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? Kevin questions everything he thought he knew about white guys with deep voices, Casey wonders if they’ve been emotionally manipulated by a trench coat, and together they ask: is this song a joke, or are we the joke?
