Summary

Our intrepid hosts explore the sub-sub-sub genre of pop-punk songs about high school love triangles by Berklee College of Music graduates. There’s a lot to unpack! Jazz chords, Miley Cyrus’s thanksgiving plans, and screaming the word NINTENDO, for starters. Along the way, Evan and Andrew use their intimate knowledge of loving but occasionally antagonistic brotherly relationships to ingratiate themselves with their boss.

Guest: Jake Hurwitz

Walk-in music: ‘Divided Sky’ by Phish (the guitar solo duh); ‘Narcolepsy’ by Third Eye Blind; ‘Are You for Real’ by Nino Moschella
