Writing these descriptions often feels unnecessary because our listeners can very likely predict what we will talk about when a MEGAHIT such as this one is randomly chosen.

Yep. You guessed it.

We talk camera angles, Steve Zahn, the US Postal Service, interacting with six-foot-seven individuals, the importance of TikTok, and crude terms for human body parts.

This. This is why we are the leading podcast in all things random AF.

Don't mind us while we....blow up....The Weeknd's popularity with our "discussion" of the song that solidified this artist's place in MULTIPLE genres.

A very special (and...relatable) guest appears again and shares his millenialistic viewpoint of this song, as well as insightful information on other performing arts!

Take whatever you think of when you hear the word "balloons" (e.g. clowns distributing them at birthday parties, clowns twisting them into animal shapes, clowns hiding illicit drugs inside them...) and, ya know, stop. That's toxic.

Instead, just listen to this nonsense.

Our final episode.

Of 2024.

Nice try! We're not going ANYWHERE!!

Except into hibernation with our respective families for the festive holiday season for all who celebrate or exercise their Santa-given right not to celebrate.

It's super cold in our part of the world, so we had to warm up to this sizzler from the boys from the beach, aka The Beach Boys.

We can't wait to learn how to do this better and bring 50 or so episodes in 2025.

2025: The Year of UMM.

We're callin' it...

This week, we go under the hood of this debut from Ric Ocasek and his game-changing band, The Cars.

While the tempo and radical synthesizers suggest a series of light-hearted flirtations, we question the narrator's real feelings toward the person to whom these lyrics are directed.

Steve floats the idea that Fountains of Wayne may have borrowed the opening lick, and Rob describes this week's song's album cover in eerie, and somewhat uncomfortable, details.

We tease the legendary Axis of Awesome viral video from forever ago, but since Rob hasn't seen it, we say no more.

Like this.

History buffs: Are you befuddled by an obscure faction of US culture? For example, have you always wondered--but never learned--the preferred pastime activity of 1970s face-painting musicians from the Empire State?

Wonder no longer, friends.

We have our answer!

In this week's episode, Rob dispels his above average knowledge of KISStory (I just made that up), and Steve leads an examination of the ambiguous second-person pronoun usage throughout this classic rock anthem.

If you like this episode, we're happy to have made your day; however, we will never know for CERTAIN that you liked it unless you find the time in your busy schedule to click the star or heart or bagpipes icon on your favorite podcast platform. People, we have advertisers BREATHING DOWN OUR NECK about the sluggish numbers. What's worse: we aren't sponsored by Listerine!

This week, we navigate uncharted waters because neither of us had any recollection of this song or its artist. Luckily, that doesn't stop us from attempting to sound authoritative when it comes to lead singer Tom Verlaine's lyrics and the alleged dawn of punk rock for which this particular song is often credited!

Steve went a bit wonky on sound effects, and Rob apologizes for something no one--including Steve--noticed.

So yeah. A typical episode....

Are you experienced? This week we begin by demonstrating how little we know about Jimi Hendrix and/or The Experience before dwelling on the greatest sandwich-time segment to date.

UMM Trivia: This is the first episode where we offer a cover of a sandwich song in addition to the regular "top and bottom bun" songs.

Then, the chaos begins as we debate the meaning behind this classic Hendrix banger.

With whose interpretation do you agree?

(We'll wait...)

Really?

I knew it!

We would love you feedback! Are there not enough jingles? Should we lengthen the newest one that introduces Rob's "Jerk Reaction"? Should we ask more questions in this portion of the description?

@ummpod4u

You want music chit-chat? Flawless segues? Professional editing?

Same.

But until we do any of that, we talk about the first of Aerosmith's hit songs.

There may be* a new jingle or two, as well.

*there are like four new ones ell oh ell
