Give It A Chance with Kevin Devine and Casey Jost: Daily Summaries Delivered
by iHeartPodcasts
With open-minds, Kevin and Casey start the podcast listening to one famously despised pop song - obviously, since we can’t play the track for legal reasons, this is a quick homework assignment for our listeners to stream on their own. Kevin and Casey will give their first impressions of hearing the song as well as some insight into what the time was like when it was originally released. Next, since they are both musicians, they’ll break down the good, the bad, and the ugly of the tune’s musical attributes and lyricism. They’ll compare this song to similar songs (that are loved!) and discuss why the world has decided this song is a famous turd.

"Marvin Gaye"
Kevin and Casey take on Charlie Puth and Meghan Trainor’s “Marvin Gaye,” a song that somehow manages to make sex sound completely unsexy. From doo-wop ripoffs and questionable lyrics to Taylor Swift shoutouts and the mysterious art of taking a “dreamer’s rest,” they try to find something worth saving. But can two great singers rescue a song that might be better off keeping Marvin Gaye’s name out of its mouth?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Hairspray Queen"
Kevin and Casey celebrate the 35th anniversary of Nevermind by revisiting two of Nirvana’s most polarizing tracks, “Hairspray Queen” and “You Know You’re Right.” From Kurt Cobain’s experimental beginnings and the band’s unlikely rise to fame to questionable lyrics, grunge history, and a whole lot of Jack Endino impressions, they unpack what made Nirvana so special. But can even the biggest Nirvana fan admit that some songs might have been better left unreleased?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Remedy (I Won't Worry)"
Kevin and Casey revisit Jason Mraz’s early-2000s hit “Remedy (I Won’t Worry)” and unpack everything from open mic culture and college-field singalongs to questionable scatting, Mr. A-Z album titles, and the eternal struggle between authenticity and overproduction. Plus, is the remedy really not worrying, or just passing the blunt in a field?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Rude"
Kevin and Casey finally give MAGIC!’s “Rude” the chancy treatment, diving into reggae cosplay, Matthew Davids energy, the world’s most confusing wedding storyline, and a guitar solo so bad it almost circles back to genius. Along the way they debate ska waves, Kurt Cobain, Vampire Weekend, and whether “Why you gotta be so rude?” is actually one of the funniest hooks ever written. Also: do the singer and the dad become “boys” at the altar or not?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Shots"
Kevin and Casey revisit Shots by Lil Jon & LMFAO and immediately spiral--from college party flashbacks to a full breakdown of early 2000s drinking culture. They debate whether the song is secretly genius at capturing pure chaos, or just the dumbest thing ever recorded… while admitting the “shots, shots, shots” hook might be physically impossible to resist. It’s loud, ridiculous, and somehow effective... but are we giving it a chance, or leaving it back at the frat?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"I Miss You"
Kevin and Casey dive into eyeliner, MySpace nostalgia, and the goth-emo moodboard that is I Miss You—a surprising left turn from Blink-182’s usual pop-punk chaos into something stripped-down, spooky, and… kind of beautiful? Plus: the iconic Tom DeLonge “WHERE ARE YOU” moment, brushes-on-snare influence, and why this might be the most CVS-core Blink song ever recorded. It’s emo, it’s earnest, it’s a little ridiculous, and somehow, it absolutely works.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"It Wasn't Me"
Kevin and Casey finally tackle the most confident lie ever put to a beat, It Wasn't Me, and immediately spiral into villas, camcorders, and elite-level bad advice. Between unpacking Shaggy’s iconic voice, questioning the song’s chaotic internal logic, and giving overdue credit to the unsung hook king Ricardo Ducent, they ask the big question: is this a genius pop-reggae banger or just the original gaslighting anthem?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Mr. Brightside"
Kevin and Casey take on the most beloved song about spiraling jealousy ever smuggled into weddings, bars, and sports arenas. Between Morrissey detours, stadium-singalong confusion, and a full investigation into why everyone screams “it was only a kiss” like it’s the national anthem, they ask: is Mr. Brightside an undeniable indie-rock classic, or just emotional damage with a bassline?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
