Episodes – Hear Me Out

Fill up your Nalgenes and slip on your Tevas, because Episode 15 is here, lounging in the amphitheater with cargo pockets full of reefer and a Jansport packed with frolf putters.

This week we chat with the hilarious Ryan Karels about Hollywood bands, anti-feminists, and riding an underground music wave right into a frat house. Alden confuses Los Angeles and Yosemite, Winston discusses the magic in his pants, and Ryan reveals three of his Desert Island Discs.

Alden’s pick: Phantom Planet – California

Get ready for the manliest, most adrenaline-feuled, coked out episode of Hear Me Out yet. No, wait, come back!

This week we sit down with the wonderful Lydia Hensler to discuss 80s dude flicks, casual misogyny, the Irish’s way with words, and noted R&B crooner Peabo Bryson. Winston picks his manliest song of the show, Alden feels dirty for liking a song about no-good hooligans, and Lydia reveals the unsavory nickname she was given at a bygone waitressing job. Enjoy!

Alden’s pick: Thin Lizzy – The Boys are Back in Town

The episode is almost here! Can you feel it? Here it comes…can you feel it? CAN YOU FEEL IT?

Guys, this is the weirdest and most DRAMATIC show we’ve had. Rules are broken, triumphs happen, and a woman holds onto a tree while the wind is blowing. DRAMATIC. We have the wonderful John Flynn (Oh Hey Guys, storyteller extraordinaire) with us to help navigate all the dance, soprano trills and golden track jackets. CAN YOU FEEL IT?

We’ve included the videos to each song this week, we highly encourage you to check them out.

This week’s episode is like red, but not quite.

Lively debate abounds as we talk with the creator of Phil Phriday himself, UCB writer/performer Mike Scollins. We discuss band gimmicks, thin metaphors and angry letters addressed to the Lyte Funky Ones. Alden tries to disparage his own song and fails, Winston tries to defend his and fails, and Mike discusses music he and his mother can both agree on. Enjoy!

Alden’s pick: Guster – Barrel of a Gun

Hey gang, we’re back with another episode! This one “feels like butter”.

You might want to listen to this one on your four wheeler, white horse, or faith/gasoline powered car.  We’ve got the terrific Morgan Jarrett (UCB) on the show as we listen to “party” music, New Found Glory covers, and songs that are a little too on the nose. And remember, dear listeners, we are the men who would fight your honor.

Winston’s pick-Lit-My Own Worst Enemy

Spring has sprung, and it’s time to get SAD.

We have the wonderful Caitlin Bitzegaio (Stuff You Should Know, UCB) with us to help us plumb the depths of some sad, dark songs. At least they’re sad by our standards. We cover the reciting the monologues of the Marquis de Sade, discuss how choruses are “good”, and drink toasts to both innocence and now.

It’s a rock and roll fable. Get into it.

Winston’s pick-Sarah McLachlan-Building A Mystery

A new episode is up! Welcome to our shame shower.

We discuss the symptoms of “Night Fever” (hint: it’s the same symptoms as cocaine use), get angry about historical inaccuracies regarding Superman’s cape, and give a shoutout to everyone’s favorite band, Pushmonkey. We clutch at the air, mope around, and break through walls like the Kool Aid man! It’s an action packed episode, guys.

Alden’s pick-The Bee Gees-Night Fever

Hey gang! A new episode is up.

Dru Johnston returns! We keep saying this episode is “juicy” and by gum, it is juicy. Our collective history in college a cappella groups is juicy, Seal’s love of the renaissance is juicy, COLLEGE FEELINGS are juicy, Greek myths and Eagle Eye Cherry are juicy. Juicy.

Winston’s pick-Seal-Kiss From A Rose

*This is maybe the worst song we’ve had on the show.

Keep your finger over the “breakdown” button, a new episode is up!

In maybe our most spiritual episode yet, we have the delightful Silvija Ozols (UCB’s Stepfathers, Stone Cold Fox) helping us deal with bad songs about gender, the homeless and spiritual awakenings. Wait, what? The Mumford family, Chaka Khan, Whitney and Popeye all help us THINK ABOUT IT.

Alden’s Pick- Steve Winwood- Higher Love

Run to your Volvo or your friend’s bathroom during a dinner party, Episode 6 is here!

We’ve got the fantastic Brandon Scott Jones (UCB, Very Mary Kate) with us this week. It’s an episode full of fantasy and whimsy: magical boy bands, the hit film K-Pax, Godzilla smashing pumpkins, and that good ole booty.

Winston’s Pick: Train – Drops of Jupiter
