We sure talk a lot of sh*t on this show, we mean literally, and this week is no exception! Although this time we blame it on the dogs. Then it's more TMI from Priya as she rants about grey pubes and no pubes. But we digress, our theme this week is artists who've gone solo and we got lots to say about that. Go on, give it a listen!

We start off by asking our LIITL Listeners to give the gift of US this holiday season. Hey, we're not beneath a bit of shameless self-promotion! Mike talks apples and baking his FIRST PIE EVER while Priya praises her new fave baking show set in the world of Harry Potter. Then it's all about second comings...get your minds outta the gutter, we mean artists who've had comebacks, sometimes more than one!

Priya thinks she's clairvoyant, a new Robyn song leads us to dissect the origins of the term 'that's dope' and we talk about our totally unreliable memories. As least that's what we think we talked about...hmm. Then it's on with the show as we give our 'hot takes' on Rolling Stone Magazine's list of the 250 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century So Far but don't worry little listeners, we only cover the top 5!

We discuss how our first season seemed to have an extra week in the year, the pressure of throwing a 1st year anniversary hangout, 'Ebony & Ivory' cupcakes, living up to our own hype, short butt cracks and sooo much more nonsense. Pretty much par for the course if you're just tuning in for the first time! Then it's all about celebration songs as we kick off SEASON TWO! (Cue applause)

It’s our 1st anniversary and we are joined by two very special guests whose story is literally ripped from the headlines.

Mike’s longtime friends, Neil and Tracy Bantleman were living their dream overseas until the unthinkable changed everything. Theirs is a story of incredible resilience.

Don’t miss this episode of how music and lyrics provided them with the strength and hope to make it through a nightmare in Indonesia.

From our very first "ep" where Mike confuses Taiwan with Vietnam, to diptychs and dick pics, and lions and cheetahs, it's a trip down memory lane of our first year of podcasting. What's changed (our tagline and format) and what hasn't (Mike not listening to Priya)? What are our most popular episodes and what's in store for season 2? Grab a cocktail and get tipsy with us to find out and have some laughs!

We've got mea culpas on both sides, car rental nightmares and Priya confusing a Minnesota accent with an Indian one. Neither are great BTW. Then it's on with the show and this time it's all about 'answer songs' aka 'reply songs' aka 'diss tracks. Whew, that's a mouthful!

Do you like Wood? Don’t worry, you’re not getting Cancelled, it’s not going to Ruin the Friendship if you don't, but we think it's Actually Romantic! That's right Honey, this week it's all about The Life of a Showgirl.

It's pet pandemonium as we ramble about dogs with loose vulvas, cats who wank too much and dogs that love to eat horseshit, literally. Priya waxes poetic about seeing Shawn Mendes live before she goes rogue and refuses to partake in this week's topic. On principle...because she doesn't work out. Let's see how that affects the episode!

This is the week you get to hear us really DO IT, sorry--the week you get to hear us really DUET. Sure you've heard us sing together before but THIS ep is pure self-indulgence as we sing our way through our fave duets and discuss the all-important issue of songs to add to our repertoire. BTW, do you pronounce the 'r' in repeRtoire? Food for thought folks.
