We're back and kicking off the new year with a bit of musical torture! For our first episode of 2026 we thought it would be fun to see who can out-cringe the other with music (we hope) the other just can't stand. Check out the playlist for next week's episode and try to guess for each song whether we like it, it's a guilty pleasure, or it's actual torture. Bleeding of the ears to be expected!
