Earbuds And Earworms

Two folks who are kinda awkward (or shy) with first dates make a show about first date songs. Amy makes the worst singles ad after tripping over her own words and Mitchell declares that he is slightly shy (what?).  This show reveals all the Earbuddies’ first date tactics and feels but also gives a huge variety to add to that first date playlist!

Thank You, Kaylah, for the ideas list!

In this week’s grab bag, it was a free for all in which Mitchell perfectly described music, Amy tripped on rather simple words, and Soren Kierkegaard made up words. There are songs that sound like acid trips (allegedly) and songs that make rainbow flatus. At least one Furby was harmed in the making of this show.

Got a personal philosophy but as a song? This is the week for you! Personal anthems are songs that represent that philosophy that is you are gets you to strive to keep on keeping on. Both Mitchell and Amy hadn’t come across a song before this week and hilarity ensues after some seriousness.

Revisiting an older theme again this week with weather but a totally different collection of songs. Weather as metaphor and even songs about fog and snow!

Yacht Rock has a definitive meaning (which can be blue-eyed soul but not all blue-eyed soul is Yacht Rock). Mitchell dons his Vans and Amy dons her Topsiders to step afloat the waves (which are not on the Styx). There is an abundance of Earbuddy feedback! And we have the next two weeks planned out on themes because of Soup and Kayla! Big Thanks to Soup from Try To Podcast for evangelizing about us! And after you binge our 140 episodes again, go listen to Try To Podcast!

There is a lot going on this week, least of which are the tangents. Mitchell and Amy hit pretty early on the importance of Off!™ during any Mississippi Delta get together and the true explanation of three different “rocks” occurs. So many rocks! Sit back on the porch swing with your adult beverage and some salad called “jazz cabbage.”
