The Life is in the Lyrics Podcast

We're going deep this week, just the way Priya likes it. Deep into the lyrics of Noah Kahan that is. But not before we learn about Priya's new suitor, The Scribe, in all his Medieval cosplay glory! You'll have to excuse Mike, he's not at his best he's been gone for a week, he's been drunk since he left. Why? That's the East Coast way, yes by!

We're talking Canadian artists on the rise so it's finally an episode where we won't mention T Swift, right? Sigh, we tried. Anyhoo, we start off with our regular 'Banter & Bullshit' in which Priya reveals she's been seeing a fella who literally wears a feather in his cap. But enough about Yankee Doodle, this is our Canada Day episode! Let's see if you know any of the Canadian artists that we...

It's our second, annual road trip and this year, shocker of shockers, Priya learns that Mike is GAY! But wheeeee--it's his birthday week and since it’s also Pride parade week, what else would we be talking about but big ole gay anthems?! So let's celebrate Mike and his self-described 'almost 60 era' in all his rainbow glory! Age is just a number folks, and our juvenile humour proves it.

Concerts, karaoke, our new BF, 'Claude', and our second annual road trip. That's what's happening this week folks. Plus, Mike and Priya discuss her possible ADD/ADHD diagnosis and whether that puts her into the 'dingdong' or 'brilliant' category. Buckle those seatbelts LIITL Listeners, the hot mess is on full display here. Also--we have an announcement! We'll be hosting our first karaoke night in...

Priya pulls Mike out from the rock he's been under and explains what 'The Mandalorian & Grogu' is, as well as defining what the term 'GOAT' means. Mike won't talk about his previous sexual experience because mum's the word...literally! AND we discuss the at-the-time-upcoming Kalan concert. Then we dive into the episode’s main topic: artists we just can’t find love for and some surprising resea...

Ahhh life. One door (of friendship) opens and another closes. How do we hold onto the good memories when friends come and go? And what music or specific songs help us navigate the ups and downs when they slap you in the face REAL hard? So here's to friends and friendships and making lemonade whenever and however you can.

Life updates: Priya spent a whirlwind two weeks in NYC while Mike went shoe shopping. Sex faces, fashion choices and musical bingo for seniors (for seniors: musical bingo not the sex faces) are on the table as Priya gets tipsy chugging her drink on air. Then we chat about how 'kids these days' are bringing back music from days (and decades) gone by.

WARNING: Do NOT get your music trivia from us cuz we be dingdongs. DO get your weekly giggle here cuz...we be dingdongs. We're talking road trips, spoken word poetry, and whether Priya's feet could supplement her income. Ok Little Listeners, there are songs you know are covers but in this ep we discuss songs that we were GAGGED to learn were not written for the artists who became synonymous with t...

How did it go when Mike brought Priya as his 'plus 1' to his office karaoke party? Which one of our co-hosts has just won an 'Outstanding Employee' award? And how far into the ep before Priya's 'intelligence' is on full display yet again? In other news, we’re ahead of the curve discussing Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation before Erika Kirk auditioned to be one of her dancers! It's time to revisit how...

Priya, pliers, and her teeth - terrible idea. Priya’s previous diagnosis of being intellectually 'gifted' (established in Ep 1 ) is reexamined. Mike talks time-travel, 'imposter syndrome' and ruminates yet again. And that was all before we get to the music! Anyhoo, this week we talk musical theatre - from our awe-inspiring first times to our fave memories. And despite Mike's initial reservations a...

Priya has been waiting for the day she could bring her old pal Scott McCord onto the pod and that day has arrived! Y'all may know his as fan-favourite Victor from the TV series, FROM, but did ya know he's also an extremely talented singer and musician? Well now you do and you can hear allll about his journey from small-town Sarnia Ontario to the crazy world of FROM and his new band, Fresh Horses!...

On this episode we answer the (sun) burning question: “Can you have a desert surrounded by water?” and showcase our embarrassing lack of basic, local geography. Picture it: Priya & Mike stranded on a deserted island...how long before they rrrrrip each other a new one? Grumpy Old Man Mike estimates 3 hours based solely on Priya's bossiness “all the time”. Luckily they have their recording equip...

Take your protein pills and put your helmets on LIITL Listeners because these idgits are about to launch! "At the time of recording" it's Easter and while Mike's all hot 'n cross about his bland hot cross buns, Priya wonders what happened to Jesus after his "risening" (yes, it's a new word), and there's lots of discussion about the universe, stars and best of all--Uranus. That's right folks, infor...

...so we'll say it on the podcast! We're talking lyrics that were changed for radio.  But before we get to that, we've got serious issues to discuss. Like who knew that the thumbs up emoji 👍 was so divisive? All these years we thought bears hibernate…think again! And holding onto misspoken words from ages, no-decades ago...ruminating we are! Look it up kids. Oh and BTW this is take 2 of this epis...

The topic of making friends as adults makes another appearance as Mike gives an update on his new mission. Plus we say 'hasta la vista' to our recent (*failed) segment on The Voice: Battle of Champions. Priya just returned from an kinda-maybe-sorta disappointing all-inclusive vacay at an "adults only" resort in Mexico that got her hot 'n bothered. And what about the music? Was it no bueno? Tune in...

This week we be off script y'all. That's right, we figured we'd do something a tad bit different by doing all bullsh*t all episode! Is it different though? A little more about shlemiel and shlimazle, Mike introduces a bop (watch him dance on our insta post @theLIITLpodcast), and we debate whether Timothée's star has taken a nose dive.

Priya has an 'aha' moment of self-realization that is less than flattering, Mike's cookie obsession is revisited, and we explore our insecurities when making new friends as adults. Then it's a trip down memory lane (waaaayyyyy down) to play 'Name That Show' as we take turns singing TV theme songs. Here's one--Schlemiel, Schlimazel, Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!

Priya worries about how much she’s been oversharing and as proof, Mike summarizes all her poop stories...three to be exact. And we introduce a new segment based on The Voice: Battle of Champions! Ok, now on with the show…and it’s all about the ladies! Let us regale you with some of the musical records that women hold, and they are pretty, pretty cool.

We're bringing sexy back LIITL Listeners! We revisit our 'sex faces' and whether we have 'sex voices', being vain when smacking pelvises together, and give a shout out to Canadian comic master, Mark McKinney for his visual description of...'the act' in the show Superstore. But let's get to the dirty folks, and we mean the songs that make you feel dirty--in a good way! PS we didn't even plan it but...

There's no time for banter this week because Priya has FINALLY watched Heated Rivalry and it's about to get steamy up in the studio! Shockingly we bare-ly discuss the sex scenes (see what we did there?) BUTT, as usual, Priya keeps the innuendos flowing as we focus on the incredible music that deepens all the feels in this beautiful, truly Canadian, global hit show. Hats (or shall we say, 'helmets'...

Mike's hot-spotting his wifi connection while Priya is hot-spotting in sunny Vietnam! We're on opposite sides of the world during this episode and Priya makes sure to rub it in. A tribute to the great Catherine O'Hara, a shout out to the pure joy and compassion that are hallmarks of Schitt's Creek and Heated Rivalry, plus we touch upon Bieber's Grammys performance and the first-ever Grammys win by...

Priya's obsessed with The Next Act, while Mike actually comes through on one of Priya's 'please listen to this' requests! Plus a new/old song that relates directly to this week's episode which is all about self-love...not the sexual kind so get your hands where we can see them! It's love month and The Greatest Love of All is loving yourself LIITL Listeners!

In today's English class, wait, let's try again. In today's episode we're talking about mondegreen's. What's a mondegreen you ask? Listen in to find out :) But first, we discuss getting money as gifts, Toronto's love of a goddam pilot project, and the excitement of the Sears catalogue arrival...random January chat, yo! Alright, let's carry on.

We know the holidays have just ended but this really is the MOST wonderful time of the year because this week (drum roll please) it's ALL ABOUT PRIYA! Mike introduces Priya to a new…ahm…colourful way to describe a part of the male torso, there may be some tea spilled from our childhood diaries, and Priya gives her confession and then announces her gift to all the LIITL Listeners for this episode....
