For the final episode of the podcast(!), Andrew has a little surprise in store for Dan. First, a brief visit to the world-changing year of 2001, followed by a bit of subterfuge, a meme, and a soulful young redhead. This week's number one is inescapable.
All good things must come to an end. Which is why Chuck Berry's juvenile novelty hit about his own penis seems to have never ended. This week, Andrew and Dan discuss...uh...this one. And also, the...uh...kind of stuff Chuck Berry was into. Also, this is...uh...the second to last episode of the podcast.
Ringy dingy ding! That's the sound of a new year being rung. Which of course means Andrew and Dan are going to spend an hour plus talking about LAST year and all their favorite albums. Specifically ten of them. A Top Ten, if you will.
That time has come again. The time for Andrew and Dan too look upon the American public and ask, "You like this? This? Really? Ok!" Billboard's Top Ten of the year gets the old NOWAB treatment on this special year-end episode. Tune in next week for Andrew and Dan's personal picks of their fave music of the year!
At the height of the hippie movement, when young people couldn't get enough of mop-topped young lads with goofy grins, a couple enterprising young men in Los Angeles were inspired to make their foray into the music scene. And they were fueled by the greatest artistic inspiration of all— a marketing opportunity. This week, we're talking Monkees.
As they burrow deeper into the Christmas Season (aka Oscar Season), Andrew and Dan travel back to the mid-50s for one of the most mid-50s songs there ever was. From the good folks who brought you "Lollipop" and Being Extremely White, it's a song about a sleep demon who gets you a boyfriend. Also, Dan recounts a foggy memory of a mid-90s comedy for way too long. It can be viewed here.
Everybody, put your bunnies back in your respective boxes. Because this week, Andrew and Dan are talking about a classic 1990s love ballad from one of the most romantic movies of all time-- Con Air. We also discuss, fighting the moonlight, another version of this song, and of course Godzilla.
Now that we're all stuff with turkey and fattened up for the holiday season, it's time to gyrate and twist to some truly filthy dancing. With our friends P Swayze and J Grey! And also the people who sang this song, an old man and famous duet lady! Please enjoy this episode where Dan teaches Andrew about some Havana Nights.
They did it. The maniacs finally did it. After alluding to an obscure early 90s family dramedy on several episodes over five years, Andrew and Dan finally sat down and dicussed the 1991 film Dutch, starring Ed O'Neil and Ethan Embry. Why? Because it's Thanksgiving ya goof! Watch Dutch with your family and then enjoy us two losing our minds over what an insane movie it is. Justice For Working Class Millionaires!
Elvis. Ever heard of him? Well, we have to. Mostly from movies and TV and all of music history and also the last three episodes we did on the guy. But guess what? We're doing another one! This week, Andrew and Dan dicuss chicken tenders and how much Elvis love them.
Get that ol' grand piani out of storage because it's time to tickle those ivories. This week, Andrew and Dan take a headlong dive into a pile of dead, dirty leaves, because it's time for fall baby. Time for autumn. Time for turkey. And time for a belated discussion of horror movies.
Because they care so much about the pod, Andrew and Dan resurrected (read: recreated) their discussion of the seminal 2007 ringtone "Crank That (Soulja Boy)." We've got snaps. We've got steel drums. And we've got superman (that hoe).
Well Ghosts and Ghouls, the spookiest darn thing happened. Andrew and Dan recorded a whole episode that was really funny, included discussion of a stellar movie Killers Of The Flower Moon, and went deep on an iconic viral hit sensation from the 2000s. And then a damn dracula stole it off our computer and broke the file. So please enjoy a rerun of last years Monster Mash episode, which will hopefully satiate these goddamn demons.
In their second visit to 1966 in as many months, Andrew and Dan return to Motor City and the offices Berald (Berry) Gordon (Gordy). He's cooking up another hit with his hit makers, and this one sounds like Bob Dylan plus a horse and a flute...sort of. Enjoy!
When listening to this podcast episode, we only ask one thing. Please. For the love of God. If you can possibly help it. Would you be so kind. And please. Please. Don't — under any circumstances! — Be Cruel............ by Elvis Presley.
In the early 1950s, the American middle class was thriving and people everywhere were getting into the idea of owning other human beings...through marriage! This week, Andrew and Dan take a look at a song from their old friend Jo(Jo) Stafford all about how, no matter where you go in the world, your lover contractually owns your body. So romantic!
Hey all you freaky deaky movie fans, remember that freaky deaky movie that's named after this song? We do to! And we talk about it! In this episode! We also talk about seeing Run The Jewels, a certain movie that shall not be named, and a songwriter who is a pathological liar.
Get your big bandanas and jaunty top hats out of the old back closet, because this week Andrew and Dan are finally discussing those tight pants wearing little freaky deakys from the Sunset Strip, Guns N (and) Roses. Specifically this song from their smash hit debut album that (spoiler alert) absolutely rips.
Tune in to here a couple of white boys talk about other white boys writing a song that addresses a hypothetical white boy demands some funky music. This week, it's this song!
As the 22nd anniversary of a national tragedy approaches, Andrew and Dan take a moment to reflect on the popular songs that were relegated to the dustbin of history by a much bigger newstory. This week, a moderately popular Janet Jackson song that asks, what if guitar? Also, Andrew laughs himself silly.
