Hey! Remember the 80's?

Show Notes

This week is all over the place as Kari and Joe tackle some listener suggestions, songs they have wanted to talk about for awhile, and weird videos that were mysteriously linked in their podcast ideas spreadsheet. We'll never know how or why the video for Backstabber by Hyts was introduced into our lives, but we will never forget the lead singer singing into a phallus-like microphone in the shower.
