“Communicator Bling”

You always call me on my wrist watch

After school when you need my help

Call me on my wrist watch

Weekends when you need my help

And I know when that wrist watch sing

That can only mean one thing

I know when that wrist watch sing

That can only mean one thing

Ever since I started high school, you

Got a reputation for yourself now

Friends having fun and I feel left out

Zordon ignoring labor laws, you got me stressed out

Cause ever since I started high school, you

Made me chill out less and fight some Putties more

Rita and Zed here causing chaos, sure

Hangin' with some monsters I've never seen before

These days, all I do is

Wonder why you’re making me bend backwards for a whole town

Wonder why we can’t call 911 for the whole town

Not doing things I ask, write a paycheck for someone else

You don't ask no one else

You don't need nobody else, no

I’m never left alone

Why you never give me a loan

Used to always stay at home, be a good kid

Occasionally chill out, yeah

You should just call an adult

Right now, you're exploiting child labor yeah.

Centuries ago, a legendary interdemensional being known as ZORDON came to the city of Angel Grove to establish a recording studio for his never-ending struggle against boring programming. With the aid of his trusted assistant, ALPHA 5, the noble master sought out two extraordinary 30-somethings and gave them the power to transform into a superhuman fighting force. In time of great need, the young heroes could use their powers to call upon colossal audio programs known as PODCASTS. The identity of the two remained a guarded secret. Today, that tradition continues...

Adrian here. Despite the episode title, neither Ashley or I are in a great mood. It happens. WhatCulture insisted that they had a list of Top 10 songs proven to make us happy. Possible spoiler: It may have had the total opposite effect. Mistakes were made. However, you get the added bonus of laughing at our pain as we attempt answer some of music's most baffling questions: Why was the singer of New Radicals so hellbent on fighting Courtney Love and Hanson? Are the Beatles overrated? And why is Adrian so enamored with progressive rock songs about space prisons? Did any of these songs make you happy? Let us know!

So, I’m going to see if Adrian can embed this meme from 2018 that we reference approximately 38 times in this episode, just for context. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lb-A756On8) At any rate--back to business. We are wrapping up our desert island video game series before we get the hell off this island. (I’m very tired of mangos, y’all. I need a burger.) We talk some Sega and Nintendo games, do a deep psychological dive into Pokémon starters, shoot some paintballs at James Bond and his friends, and we even step on Sarah McLachlan’s toes and drop a couple “in the arms of the angel” PSAs on your earholes before the podcast takes a turn and captures real genu-iiiiine human emotion. And of course, like the best podcast episodes, we made you say both “ungh” and “n-nah n-nah”. So. We may be trapped on an island eating mangoes, but at least we got that going for us. Now, I got my Hunger Games-style shipment of Mass Effect Legendary Edition, so...I should go.

Adrian here. Yeah, I know I don't usually do the write-ups. But don't leave! I swear this will be fun! Long story short, Ashley and I ended up on a deserted island. Boat sprung a leak. Kinda my fault. Don't worry about that. We're stuck here, but luckily our crates filled with our podcast equipment and favorite videogame consoles washed ashore. We probably should've packed more food/water, though. Mistakes were made. Oh, well. Anyway, enjoy this fun chat about some of our favorite games that we played in between trying to find a volleyball to hang out with. Hey, it worked for Tom Hanks.

So...I was going to write an episode description about this Dad Rock compilation that we discuss in this episode, but I made the mistake of going to Youtube to watch the Batman Forever version of the “Kiss From a Rose'' video, and...I can’t string words together any more. My brain has been vaporized by that green...tv box...thing from that movie. I have so much conflict inside of me. This episode is very funny and you should listen to it. You should also take four minutes and watch this music video, so you understand why my brain is mush forever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwvNAai29_0

PREVIOUSLY ON X-MEN!

Um. I mean….Previously on Talking Like A Teen, Adrian and Ashley wrap up their 2020 playlists. They discuss Adrian’s 2020 playlist, diving deep into how anxiety-inducing music is good maybe, (because you need a soundtrack to destroy robots that are chasing you around a mall sometimes while rescuing a teenage girl), music that inspires you to do crime is always good (like trying to blow up a chemical plant, military missile facility, or US Senator Robert Edward Kelly’s brain), and that every playlist needs a song from a Sad White Lady (JEAN GRAY JEAN GRAY JEAN GRAY.) We learn some lessons from Adrian’s playlist as well, like how we should trust our family to not be assassins targeting political figures, sometimes we think rip-off Bowie sewer-dwellers are dodgy but they’re ok, and don’t get attached to that weird guy you’ve never seen in any of the comics before. Like other episodes, allegories for racism, classism, and sexism are rampant throughout--as well as a connecting storyline. Pretty deep for a children’s cartoon show--I mean...um...podcast episode. Obviously. Because we’re only talking about one thing here. Anyway...THIS ONE’S FOR YOU, MORPH. 

(All of this stuff is literally from the first season of the X-Men cartoon and holy shit, we just let kids watch whatever in the 90s, didn’t we?)

On this episode of Talking Like a Teen, the Senior VP of Sustenance Delivered Via Miniaturized Foodstuffs (Security Codename: BagelBites) and the UN High Commission of Simulated Combustion and Rounded Playthings (Security Codename: Crossfire) take a break from overseeing the world’s most important things to talk about the music of 2020. They discuss, among other things, the HBO/HAIM crossover you didn’t know you needed until now, Phoebe Bridgers’ first day of Mainstream Musical Success School, and how the Gorillaz might actually be the voice of a generation (sorry Kanye, your reign is over...back to the ocean with you.)

These two executives also spend more time than important people should squeeing about Miike Snow, singing, and talking about some video game that is either about edible bugs or sentient snacks, depending on who you ask. They also take a moment to be genuinely thankful human beings before transferring you to the Italian ambassador’s office answering machine so you can make your prank phone call. This synopsis is brought to you by the UN and the Office of Making Silly Things Sound Overly Serious.

On this episode of Talking Like a Teen, Adrian and Ashley sidestep another weird ASMR podcast idea to finish talking about @ChillWaveKittens Old School Alternative bracket. They discuss another face on the Mount Rushmore of Problematic Faves Morrissey, the #girlboss narrative around Bjork, and the cautionary tale of Elliott Smith. Wait, I know that sounds serious--come back. Here’s your blankie and an apple juice--just sit still and hear me out. There’s the normal amount of nonsense as well, I promise. There are multiple singalongs (bonus points for the music drinking game because Ashley actually sings too), they drag Keith Richards for being a greedy jerk, talk TMNT toys, and somehow, some way, make it to the end of the bracket and crown their respective champions. And spoiler alert, no one gets swallowed by a whale in this one. Maybe next time.

On this episode of Talking Like a Teen, Adrian and Ashley find themselves trapped inside a nightmare of bad hockey and indie rock greats as they tackle another @ChillWaveKittens music bracket. They barely manage to wipe the sleep from their eyes before immediately starting a war with Nick Cave fans, K-Pop Twitter, and offending both sides of the Blur/Oasis Brit-Pop Battle of 1995. They try to get a handle on why Beck and Radiohead are so fetch, and for those of you playing the “Take a drink every time Adrian sings” drinking game, you are in for a treat. Somehow, through the chaos, they do manage to pick their champions, who will face off with the winners of the upcoming part two episode. This episode is sponsored by delirium and not enough caffeine.
