Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion (I’m an almost-40 white guy, I want credit for knowing who the hell these people are) have released a hyper-sexual single titled “WAP.” Ben Shapiro, whom I’m not really aware of outside of his shit politics and punchable face, then did a fake-offended reading of the lyrics on-air. We make fun of that, Eva’s engagement (congrats!), and my last reckless bender. Share this episode. Tell a friend. Unlike Ben Shapiro, be proud of the filth you listen to.

On our last podcast episode, we spent the entire runtime pouring over the music video for Benny Mardones’ “Into The Night,” which featured, among other things, a 34-year-old Mardones’ throwing a magic carpet into the room of a 16-year-old girl, then flying away with her on a date. (Should there be quotation marks around the word date? She’s a kid, she can’t consent to buying a pack of cigs much less an excursion where the choices are acquiesce to the demands of your captor or PLUMMET TO YOUR DEATH!

!!

I digress. We had so much pouring over that video like it was the Zapruder film that we had our guest from the episode, comedian Pete Bergen, return once more to dissect another music video gem: Aaron Tippin’s “That’s The Closest I’ll Get To Lovin’ You.” While everyone is of the age of consent in this one, it features a singer that looks like redneck Freddie Mercury, a gaggle of wino Southern women whose pictures are next to "pretty 90s white bitch" in the dictionary, and a shed that looks like it’s covered in the singer’s semen. Oh, and to top it all off, it was directed by the same guy who directed Metallica’s “One.” If you enjoyed the last episode, you’ll enjoy this one. If you didn’t, drink bleach.

For this episode, we dissect a music video that co-host Mikael Johnson brought to the table, Benny Mardones' "Into The Night." The song's troubling lyrics, depicting the downright illegal plowing of a minor, is matched in creepiness only by its horrifying video, which we dissect live on-air with comedian Pete Bergen. You can watch the video here, which I recommend you do as we MST3K-style attack it. Oh, and if you guys have any creepy music videos to recommend for future episodes where we do this, by all means, send them our way.

I remember zip about this episode, as it's languished on my recorder since Mikael and I completed it back on 6/30. But I did listen to the first 30 seconds to hear where it started and it stars with Mikael spinning improv gold while I tread water like a pawless dog chucked into the Potomac to keep up with him. Enjoy!

We cover a lot of ground in this episode. Highlights include:

-Debating who should host the Netflix reboot of Unsolved Mysteries, with Mikael coming up with a real winner

-My adult massage happy place is back open, and I share its new health policies for banging strangers during quarantine

-Another anti-mask jizz-chugger, this time wearing a “Running The World Since 1776” shirt and screaming he was being intimidated in a bid to use the concealed weapon he carried (seriously, check out his waist in the video of the incident)

-Mikael and I discuss how we had crushes on every single woman on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air as kids

-I bust out one of my two impressions, that of Fast Times At Ridgemont High’s Mike Damone

Netflix has two new offerings poised to court fans of Steve Carell and Will Ferrell: Space Force, an original series starring Carell, John Malkovich, Lisa Kudrow, and countless other big names, brought to us by The Office showrunner Greg Daniels. And Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga, an original film starring Will Ferrell, Rachel McAdams, Pierce Brosnan, and my Greek future bride, Melissanthi Mahut. Is either worth your time? I mean, like, your pre-quarantine time, when you had options and didn’t view the mailman coming by as the highlight of the day.

I apologize, because I didn't think this material was too dated, so I took forever to upload it. Then, I remembered it was about comedian Chris D'elia getting accused by a bunch of girls of hitting on them while they were underage. Which happened a few weeks ago. Forgive the delay. Next episode, we'll talk about a new disease spreading like wildfire in China, called Covid-19, and what it might mean for your spring.
