Guest: Negin Farsad

Walk-in music: 'The Entertainer' by Chet Atkins; 'Music Is My Hot Hot Sex' by CSS; 'Beautiful Day' by U2

Jazz chords, Miley Cyrus’s thanksgiving plans, and screaming the word NINTENDO, for starters. Along the way, Evan and Andrew use their intimate knowledge of loving but occasionally antagonistic brotherly relationships to ingratiate themselves with their boss.

Guest: Jake Hurwitz

Just what was it that made Tom Petty so afraid that he had to shout from the rooftops, “I Won’t Back Down??” Well, we got into it, and okay, it’s pretty bad. It’s a real heartbreaker. But a butterfly flaps its wings over an intentionally set house fire in Los Angeles, and 30 years later, it brought us together with Kristen Bartlett (Full Frontal with Samantha Bee) and Jason Gore (The Best Show) to deliver a punch that is so shocking it may have converted this show into a True Crime pod??

In a rare and dangerous maneuver, Evan and Andrew decide to punch up a chart-topper so recent that they could topple from its vertiginous heights. Unfortunately after listening to 'Deja Vu' dozens of times, they still cannot parse the references to a little known indie rock band named Billy Joel. To rescue the punch, they called in expert witnesses Tim and Tom from The Complete Guide to Everything podcast. Thankfully, they know about everything. Resulting in probably the best punch up of 2022. So far.

Check out Tim and Tom's Headgum podcast, The Complete Guide to Everything.

Because a butterfly flapped its wings in Kamchatka, global wind patterns shifted, causing the accursed demon Simon Cowell to arise, which backfired for the agents of hell when his reign led to the ascent of the verified seraphim Kelly Clarkson, because of which we now have the song "Because Of You." Evan and Andrew are joined by old friend Akilah Hughes to unpack the many causal relationships in this tragic tune.

Punch Up The Jam moves out of the holiday spirit, and into the spirit of dry humping. Andrew and Evan examine who exactly "Feel Like Makin' Love" is for, other than the game Guitar Hero. Along the way, they wonder about Hooples, virgins, and the municipal benefits of tennis balls.
