Get ready for the manliest, most adrenaline-feuled, coked out episode of Hear Me Out yet. No, wait, come back!

Winston picks his manliest song of the show, Alden feels dirty for liking a song about no-good hooligans, and Lydia reveals the unsavory nickname she was given at a bygone waitressing job. Enjoy!

Alden’s pick: Thin Lizzy - The Boys are Back in Town
Winston’s pick: Cheap Trick - Mighty Wings
Lydia’s pick: Flo Rida & David Guetta - Where Them Girls At (feat. Nicki Minaj)

Just dudes and a lady being dudes and a lady.

The episode is almost here! Can you feel it? Here it comes…can you feel it? CAN YOU FEEL IT?

Guys, this is the weirdest and most DRAMATIC show we’ve had. Rules are broken, triumphs happen, and a woman holds onto a tree while the wind is blowing. DRAMATIC. We have the wonderful John Flynn (Oh Hey Guys, storyteller extraordinaire) with us to help navigate all the dance, soprano trills and golden track jackets. CAN YOU FEEL IT?

We’ve included the videos to each song this week, we highly encourage you to check them out.
Winston’s pick: Billy Joel - Allentown
Crazy Video 1
Alden’s pick: The Jacksons - Can You Feel It
Crazy Video 2
John’s pick: Sarah Brightman and Chris Thompson - How Can Heaven Love Me
Crazy Video 3

Guys, you gotta watch these videos. And John Flynn is such a peach, I think we can all agree on that.

This week’s episode is like red, but not quite.

Lively debate abounds as we talk with the creator of Phil Phriday himself, UCB writer/performer Mike Scollins. We discuss band gimmicks, thin metaphors and angry letters addressed to the Lyte Funky Ones. Alden tries to disparage his own song and fails, Winston tries to defend his and fails, and Mike discusses music he and his mother can both agree on. Enjoy!

Alden’s pick: Guster - Barrel of a Gun
Winston’s pick: Aerosmith - Pink
Mike’s pick: Hootie & the Blowfish - Let Her Cry

Mike was really fun to have on the show! Can we all agree to go on a band cruise together?

Hey gang, we’re back with another episode! This one “feels like butter”.

You might want to listen to this one on your four wheeler, white horse, or faith/gasoline powered car.  We’ve got the terrific Morgan Jarrett (UCB) on the show as we listen to “party” music, New Found Glory covers, and songs that are a little too on the nose. And remember, dear listeners, we are the men who would fight your honor.

Winston’s pick-Lit-My Own Worst Enemy
Alden’s pick-Peter Cetera-The Glory of Love
Morgan’s pick-Carrie Underwood-Jesus Take The Wheel

Listen to this one, if only to hear the riff from My Own Worst Enemy over and over.

Spring has sprung, and it’s time to get SAD.

We have the wonderful Caitlin Bitzegaio (Stuff You Should Know, UCB) with us to help us plumb the depths of some sad, dark songs. At least they’re sad by our standards. We cover the reciting the monologues of the Marquis de Sade, discuss how choruses are “good”, and drink toasts to both innocence and now.

It’s a rock and roll fable. Get into it.

Winston’s pick-Sarah McLachlan-Building A Mystery
Alden’s pick-Dan Hartman-I Can Dream About You
Catilin’s pick-Dan Fogelburg-Same Old Lang Syne

This is the first episode where we actively listened to an entire song. It was worth it. So worth it.

A new episode is up! Welcome to our shame shower.

We discuss the symptoms of “Night Fever” (hint: it’s the same symptoms as cocaine use), get angry about historical inaccuracies regarding Superman’s cape, and give a shoutout to everyone’s favorite band, Pushmonkey. We clutch at the air, mope around, and break through walls like the Kool Aid man! It’s an action packed episode, guys.

Alden’s pick-The Bee Gees-Night Fever
Winston’s pick-Five For Fighting-Superman
Justin’s pick-Cowboy Mouth-Jenny Says

This is my most shameful song. Join me, won’t you?

Justin was great, this one was really fun.
