Upsetty and Called Out

The first episode recorded for the season (but the fourth to be released) and obviously recorde when dat rona was not a concern on our radar, Kevin welcomes his former co-worker from a previous (and shitty) job, Renee Brown, to the podcast.

In the tangential nature of the program, the two talk about a lot more than the eclectic mix of tunes Renee has provided—including the stress of buying concert tickets, feeling seen and attacked by Lana Del Rey, the pure joy that is Lizzo, and that you never really stop being an emo kid.
