Brian Faughnan & Cort Winsett get together biweekly and start talking with each other (and with you the listener) about what they’ve been listening to lately. But they’ve got opinions on so. many. things. And not necessarily the opinions you’d always expect from two middle-aged white guys. Unasked for. Unnecessary. Unstoppable?

Cort starts with a review of the new album The Window by Ratboys. The guys discuss the confounding (to Cort anyway) listening approach of letting the music permeate your surroundings rather than focusing intently on each track. Cort's take on this approach won't surprise you, but find out whether the approach changed his opinion of the album. Ratboys are opening for The Decemberists, so clearly Brian and Cort have to discuss the effects of opening acts on concert goers.
From there all hell breaks loose, and the discussion shifts to the commencement speech made by Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, which sparks a discussion about the role of athletes and celebrities in public discourse. Brian and Cort also touch on the recent arrest of a golfer at the PGA Championship.
New albums are out from Kings of Leon, Avett Brothers, Cage the Elephant, and Guster. Find out which albums hit the mark and which fell flat. As always don't miss Cort's assignment for Brian this week, and if you want to listen along, check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/album/4JLLAw7R40SnvwkUt9B63N?si=wVOAYOBGQJ-EvHaCNAsRrg

Guadalcanal Diary. Barenaked Ladies. They Might Be Giants. The Connells. Bowling for Soup. What do these groups have in common? Maybe nothing, but somehow Brian and Cort make a connection.

We get letters from Whitesnake’s lawyers. We discuss Vampire Weekend and their latest release, Only God Was Above Us. We go deep on advertising. We get a visit from Future Brian. We go down a meandering path of other bands, songs, and albums and ultimately end up back at Taylor Swift and Pearl Jam. It's like every time we get out, they pull us back in. Brian gets his next assignment. And finally, there’s the random podcast generator. It's a hoot.

Brian Faughnan and Cort Winsett unpack song lyrics that take on an entirely new meaning depending on who's listening. They start with Brian's The (English) Beat analysis and then talk through Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, and the Beatles as just a sample of the lyrical misunderstandings.
Mondegreens, and music appreciation! Also, Dave Grohl and unveiling the legacy of a Rock Ambassador for an entire generation through somebody else's podcast!

In this episode the guys talk about Break Up by Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson, and then they can't help but revisit their talk about multi-hyphenate artists and spend what is maybe a little too long on a discussion about ScarJo and her potential in music.
Going a little off-concept, they dive into a discussion about popular reality game shows, and they go deep with their current obsession, The Traitors, which leads to a debate about what the best competitive game show format is.
Brian gives a review of the podcast "Bad on Paper." The guys discuss Brian's excitement regarding the upcoming album release from The Decemberists. Cort gives Brian a new assignment, which reveals the musical mentality of an 80s adopter. Finally, the episode concludes on the always entertaining, Random Podcast Generator segment.

Wherein we discuss the podcast Valley Heat, go off on a tangent about 70s/80s rock bands, and of course arrive home with conversation about music that is a guilty pleasure. And oh so much more.

Brian's the one who has listened to "something new lately," and it's going to be a bit of a feisty podcast. Kevn Kinney lives! But maybe Feist's Let It Die should stay dead. Then there's all those songs from commercials. No guests. No rules. Just right.
