Episodes

32 - Escape (The Pina Colada Song) 23.07.2021

Pull up a beach chair, some personal ads, and a fruity drink! Seth and Marc bring to light the true story behind the sing along that probably caused the Jonestown Massacre. We learn that Rupert Holmes doesn't know how personal ads (or marriages) work and what really happens to the famous couple.

31 - As Good As I Once Was 16.07.2021

Break out your Stetson and some Wranglers and bind and gag Toby Keith! Marc and Seth tackle a real Southern anthem to incestuous threesomes and bailing your buddy out of shitty situations he chose to get himself into.... all tied together by one of the clunkiest attempts at a tagline ever. Fun!

30 - Butterfly 09.07.2021

A supersized episode for a supersized piece of shit song! Marc and Seth recruit real Crazy Town professional Elyse in to help figure out what the fuck this song is. About as romantic as school bus crash, Shifty Shellshock and Epic Mazur pen this shitty poetry to some very unlucky women who would probably rather their eyes eaten out by rats. Special Guest: Elyse Maher.

29 - By The Way 02.07.2021

After putting it off as long as they could, Marc and Seth finally take on the task of trying to decipher some of Anthony Kiedis' inane lyrics... and this one is a humdinger. Filled with placeholder two-syllable nonsense and shitty lines that are held together by duct tape, this song is too good for the words inside of it.

28 - Seventeen 25.06.2021

Marc and Seth take on Kip, Reb and Co. while breaking down the song Seventeen by Winger. Not only is this song gross, but it also has a Tenet-esque timeline where we're seemingly jumping through portals. Who would've guessed a guy named Kip would be an unreliable narrator?

27 - Cocaine 18.06.2021

Seth and Marc invite old friend and Cocaine Specialist John Cappozzo over to discuss the "anti-drug" song Cocaine. Originally written by JJ Cale and made famous by Cocaine Specialist Eric Clapton, this song has the rhyming scheme of a 3rd graders' poetry and sounds like cocaine is pretty handy... especially for an "anti-drug" song. Special Guest: John Cappozzo.

26 - Pardon Me 11.06.2021

Seth and Marc listen to Brandon Boyd and Co. make a mountain out of a molehill. Make no mistake about it... 23 was a rough age for the singer-cum-sex icon. But so bad that he was on the verge of exploding? We hardly think so.

25 - Funky Cold Medina 04.06.2021

Seth and Marc put on some thick gold chains and bust it b-boy style with one of the strangest pro-date/pro-bestiality/pro-transphobic songs of all time. Every verse gets stranger culminating in what finally makes him hang up his concoction... the threat of marriage!

24 - Africa 28.05.2021

Seth and Marc do that cool thing where someone clears off the table with a big swipe and unfurl a large map of the Motherland Of Humanity: Africa! Unfortunately, it was written by some dorky white musical prodigies who only knew the continent from Nat Geo and commercials. A failed love plot briefly mentioned, "mystical lyrics" by way of bad poetry, and geographical errors. We're here for it.

23 - Tonight's The Night (Gonna Be Alright) 21.05.2021

Special Guest: Aaron Melcher.

22 - Take A Chance On Me 14.05.2021

Seth and Marc take a swan dive into the pathetic and increasingly rabid lyrics of Take A Chance On Me. Even the beautiful members of ABBA are sometimes on the non-receiving end of unrequited love and according to these words, they don't deal with it very well. It starts of sad and quickly gets pretty creepy.

21 - Girl Watcher 07.05.2021

Seth and Marc are hopping into the Creep Delorean with Nice Guy's owner Greg Gebhard and saved a seat for you! Take a trip in the wayyyyyback machine... back to a time where a man could openly write a song about stalking women and probably jerking off in some nicely trimmed hedges. This song gets worse and worse as it goes on which is a special kind of hell and leaves you wondering where the story...

20 - Little Things 30.04.2021

It's Bush 2: Electric Bugaloo! Seth and Marc listen to some more this-or-that bullshit from Mr. Rossdale from a song that is allegedly about "feeling encumbered by life and overtaken by life and dwarfed by life" but also be about sweet, sweet methamphetamine. I KEELL!

19 - Glycerine 23.04.2021

Sometimes I'm Marc, sometimes you're Seth. Now I'm talking, always I'm silent. Bush sucks, Bush isn't good. Listen to Seth and Marc marvel at the tangled web of dichotomies that Gavin Rossdale weaves together like some kind of 7th grade spider.

18 - Sugar, We're Going Down 16.04.2021

Seth and Marc hide out in the closet with Pete Wentz & Co. for the whiny rock anthem of the Aughts. Clumsy metaphors are abound in this wannabe-gotcha "emo" song that is unfortunately too catchy than it has any right to be.

17 - Summer Girls 09.04.2021

Seth and Marc peel back a few layers of the lyrical onion that is the 1999 feel-good(?) summer hit aptly titled Summer Girls. Filled to the brim with "inside jokes" and non-sequiturs like a glass full of lemonade on a hot July day... except lemonade is good and this song sucks. Seth finds himself amazed at some uncovered depth as shallow as it may be.

16 - Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy 02.04.2021

The guys tackle their first country song and look deep into the true meaning of Big And Rich as an entity; are they one? At the same time, they ponder the shrouded world of horse kinks and whether or not this song supports it.

15 - In The Summertime 26.03.2021

Seth and Marc invite another elusive Ford Brother into the mix. Matt helps them weed through the classism and forced-sex narrative of the summer feel-good hit In The Summertime. Special Guest: Matt Ford.

14 - Rockstar 19.03.2021

Despite owning up to the fact that they might be nice and even a tad talented, Seth and Marc take great joy in tearing apart Nickelback... specifically the schlock that is the hit song Rockstar. Overly-excited lyrics about anorexia nervosa, drug use that sounds like it would kill a small elephant, and an unhealthy addiction to all things Playboy as well as a comparison to Elvis? Get out of here.

13 - Dance Hall Days 12.03.2021

Marc and Seth dive deep into the mind of the Patrick Bateman-esque singer of Wang Hung (not Hung Chung.) Join them on their nostalgic trip down memory lane back when you could grab your lady by whatever you wanted to and try to manipulate her by using her "darkest fears" against her through the power of suggestion.

12 - Come With Me 05.03.2021

Seth and Marc welcome their first guest; Co-host of the Know Nonsense Trivia Podcast Lee Bretschneider! Together, we discuss the atrocious Puff Daddy song replete with Godzilla screams and the worst Robert Plant impression on record. Special Guest: Lee Bretschneider.

11 - Hey Soul Sister 26.02.2021

Seth and Marc put themselves through the pain and horror of TWO Train songs back-to-back. Here, the guys attempt to untangle everything from Pat Monahan's cryptic reference to a moonbeam to his untrimmed chest.

10 - Drops Of Jupiter (Tell Me) 19.02.2021

The guys stumble upon a fact that throws all preconceived notions out the window! Luckily, the words are so shitty that they have no issues. Narcissism, possible mother-son sexual fantasties, and soy lattes. This song has it all.

09 - Run For Your Life 12.02.2021

With heaviness and sadness in their hearts, Marc and Seth have to take on one of their favorite bands of all time... which is a little easier to do when said band is threatening and gaslighting a partner they repeatedly refer to as "little girl."

08 - Wango Tango 05.02.2021

Seth and Marc weed through the less-than-subtle Motor City Madman atrocity Wango Tango and Nuge's desire to have coitus with an automobile-cum-woman a la Diamond Dave in Panama.
