The Audience Won't Like It

We bounce from movies and music into the messy truth of 90s summer freedom, where boredom is the feature and not a bug. We revisit everything from Star Trek IV comfort-watch energy to Lovefool chord talk, then circle back to what it feels like raising kids when you can “always know” where they are.  • our standing-in-line concert podcast setup and why YouTube is part of the bit  • remembering arti...

We bounce from a beloved audiobook rabbit hole into a three-movie gauntlet, then end with a classic Carole King song that somehow ties the whole night together. We argue about what makes a movie “good,” quote the unquotable, and try to decide whether a time loop diner story is genius, chaos, or both.  • finishing Dungeon Crawler Carl book eight and why the audiobook narration matters  • loving den...

We stand “in line” for an Outkast concert and let the conversation wander from parenting math and bedtime TV to a full-on breakdown of a movie that entertains us while also making us feel genuinely uneasy. We end in our happy place, geeking out over Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, why Outkast keeps evolving, and what it really takes to learn a song well enough to perform it.  • third-child “dog y...

We turn Mother’s Day into a pop culture draft and argue about which fictional moms feel like real parenting. Along the way we share what’s been hectic at home, what we’re reading, and why Jimmy Buffett’s “Six String Music” is such a perfect low-key song to cover.  • switching to every other week for a bit to protect quality  • building the Jeffries data sheet to track references, covers, and recur...

We watch Star Trek’s “The Trouble With Tribbles” and then Deep Space Nine’s “Trials And Tribbleations” to see how the same story hits in two eras and why the tribute works so well. Then we switch gears and play a cover of Rend Collective’s “My Lighthouse” while we talk through what makes it fun and surprisingly tricky to perform.   • The waiting in line premise and our chaotic setup   • What we’re...

We bounce from music, TV, and games the way we actually talk while “waiting in line” together, and it somehow turns into real recommendations. We nerd out over Bob Dylan, argue our bedtime sitcom rankings, compare Hogwarts Legacy with Disco Elysium, and finish by covering “To Be With You” by Mr. Big.  • the “waiting in line” podcast premise and why we might add a stanchion or ballet bar  • buildin...

We bounce from our weekly media spiral into a full Sister Act 2 rewatch and realize the movie’s logic barely holds together while the music still hits like a freight train. We end by nerding out over The Flaming Lips “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Part 1” and why certain chords and choices make a song feel huge. • our ongoing struggle to get to the main topic • watching Raging Bull in short “bik...

We trade the fiction books we can’t stop revisiting, from classic kid survival stories to big nerdy sci-fi series that reward another pass. We also squeeze in our James Taylor concert line chatter, then wrap with our own cover of “You’ve Got A Friend” and a rapid-fire tour of famous versions.  • quitting Paradise and venting about mismatched TV tropes  • why rereading happens and how “comfort read...

We put Mystery Science Theater 3000 under a microscope by watching Mitchell and letting the riffs and a full block of mid-90s VHS commercials reshape the whole experience. Then we switch gears to The Kinks’ Waterloo Sunset, from the riff and harmony to the lyrics, the covers, and the one performance that finally proved the song can be messed up.  • Debating theme songs that explain the premise  •...

We bounce from basement banter to dark books, cult musicals, and classic TV theme songs, then pull it all together with a mashup performance. We argue about what makes parody work, why nostalgia hits so hard, and how over-explaining becomes both a flaw and a feature. • debut of a new theme song and the rules of “kissing a recently passed loved one” • the show format as simulated waiting-in-line sm...

We dive from Blondie’s Parallel Lines to Alanis’s All I Really Want, then into the X-Files’ creepiest early villain, with a pit stop at a Nine Inch Nails arena show and a Bruno Mars performance masterclass. We argue what makes pop endure, why smart horror still works, and how live shows can feel like machines that breathe. • show format as a “waiting in line” hangout • listener comments and a skun...

We bounce from peak-period Earth, Wind & Fire to Fallout’s sharp TV adaptation and then dive headlong into Event Horizon’s culty sci‑fi horror before closing with a deep, joyful groove on Bill Withers’ Use Me. Along the way we correct names, hum hooks, and argue about falsetto fatigue, jazz harps, and spaceship décor. • what our show format is and why we role‑play “strangers in a concert line”...

We trace a practical path for working out with migraines while still living a full life, then unwind with Russian Doll’s brainy chaos and a warm Tom Petty cover. Hydration, mobility, and smarter intensity take center stage as we trade stories, fixes, and a few laughs. • quick cold open, studio banter, and setup • corrections corner on TV, films, and names • Uncle Dan as future fact-checker and sid...

We own up to a Groundhog Day blind spot, tighten some dangling facts, and then sink into why Taxi’s Jim episodes still crackle. A Rancid “Old Friend” cover closes the loop as we talk chords, bass lines, and making music under pressure. • what Corrections Corner is for and why details matter • how telenovelas, The Soup, and misheard names reveal media memory • why Taxi works: ensemble chemistry, Bo...

Two hours of playful debate turn into a sharp thought experiment about living one day for decades, framed by a Kubrick gut punch, a 90s action rewatch, and a tender dive into Icelandic indie pop. We wrestle with memory, risk, kindness, and the skills that actually matter when time stops. • why Paths of Glory still stings as an anti‑war classic • The Rock’s big set pieces, plot choices, and 90s ton...

Two married hosts chase curiosity across dimensions, from a war movie’s spike of adrenaline to a Victorian satire’s mind-bend and a girl-group classic’s theatrical punch. We compare three Flatland films, argue over adaptations, and close with a jangly, joyful cover. • cold open with singing and show premise • quick hits in corrections corner across music, TV, and trivia • The Deer Hunter scene ana...

We draft our ultimate desert island picks across film, TV, books, games, music, and one wild card, then close with an Avett Brothers cover and a look at what makes “In The Curve” quietly devastating. Along the way, we argue, laugh, and find strange comfort in constraint. • corrections corner on Vegas residencies, Die Hard CGI, and language details • YouTube setup, lighting tweaks, and thumbnail co...

Two married hosts riff from holiday movie night to cult-film carnage and back to the velvet soul of Curtis Mayfield, stitching jokes, nostalgia, and real music talk into a warm, chaotic hour. We test why jazz hits live, why spectacle sometimes wins, and why a tender doo-wop melody still floors us. • show format built around a 50s “waiting in line” conceit • corrections corner on names, titles, and...

We build a new studio, sip eggnog, and chase big ideas: why Blink still chills, how Strange New Worlds S3 swings and misses, and why Quincy led Thriller with a soft duet before the heavy hitters • new basement setup and lighter upfront banter • quick corrections on films, TV, and music trivia • Elvis 2022 standout scenes and soundtrack choices • Strange New Worlds S3 highlights and weak spots • Do...

Two married music nerds spiral through films, jazz, and life hacks before landing on a tight, groovy breakdown of Frida Payne’s Band of Gold.

Two musicians chase a thread from Mingus to Bond to a country classic, arguing about tones, tactics, and the one chord that makes a chorus bloom. We cover The Chicks’ Cold Day In July and pull apart how arrangement choices change the story a song tells. • what Corrections Corner fixed and why we keep it • Aunt Viv, Kafka, and pop culture running jokes • Mingus Ah Um, Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, and Joni...

We chase a messy, funny path from eggnog tales and Community parodies to a surprisingly thoughtful breakdown of The Band’s Christmas Must Be Tonight, stitching nostalgia, skepticism, and marriage banter into one warm holiday listen. Curiosity drives the night as we weigh UAP “proof,” honor Jimmy Cliff, and daydream dream covers and movie syncs. • what this show does and why we make music while we...
