Episode 54 - The 2025 Music Slump


Listen Later

Happy New Year from For the Record! Hosts Rhoni Mohanraj and Joey Simms ring in January 1, 2026, by attempting to "smash" a Terry’s Chocolate Orange while debating the merits of pulp in orange juice. As they look toward the "bottom five" of the 2020s, the duo shares hilarious stories from the gym—including a lifter in denim jeans and a client who tried to strip on the floor—before taking a surreal detour into a modernized "Gen Z Bible" where Jesus wears sweatshirts and does reformer Pilates. The heart of the episode is a deep dive into the music of 2025, where the hosts critique the year for its lack of truly "danceable" hits, revisiting tracks like Alex Warren’s "Ordinary" and the polarizing viral song "Anxiety". Between Rhoni’s massive 2026 travel plans and Joey’s milestone of booking 40 weddings, the "yolk boys" reflect on how the industry has evolved from sing-alongs back to the old-school dance floor fillers.
