Avril Lavigne Is Dead with Kasey Koop Jun 09, 2017

Show notes

Hasn't every little girl dreamed of being a pop star? The fame, the outfits, the chance to goad your best friend into suicide so that you can take over her life and then record some cutesy pop albums. This wicked little conspiracy dates all the way back to 2007, but it's having a resurgence for some reason. And comedian, writer, stripper and podcast host Kasey Koop is here to argue that Avril died and was replaced by her body double right after her second album. We talk about who married Chad Kroeger, the way artists evolve over a lifetime, Kristen Stewart, Miley Cyrus, Satan, our teen years, and whether astrology is just total bullshit.

New Coke Was Planned To Fail with Will Hines Jun 02, 2017

Show notes

We'd like to buy the world a… SHAM?!? There's an unsavory episode in the history of Coca Cola that the biggest soda company in the world would like you to forget about (actually there are a bunch, look it up). But in this case, we're talking about Coke's colossal and expensive 1985 misstep, the introduction of New Coke. The company lost millions of dollars because consumers refused to let them trifle with their beloved bev, and Coke quickly replaced the old formula. But here's the thing. Some people think it wasn't a misstep at all, and the company intentionally took an L so that they could bring back traditional Coke and blow everyone's minds. What madman would be bold enough to argue this theory? WILL HINES THAT'S WHO. The phenomenal comedian, teacher, writer, and actor stopped by to blow all our minds with his wildly well-thought-out theory that Coca Cola planned the whole dang caper. Thanks Will! And thanks to you for listening. Hey and don't forget to patronize our Brand! New! Sponsor!

Paul Is Dead with Greg Smith May 26, 2017

Show notes

The loveable lads from Liverpool led a laudable life and left a lasting legacy. But what if there's more to the story than just 'four dudes did good tunes'? What if the story of The Beatles also involved… A CONSPIRACY THEORY??!? The rumour that Paul McCartney died in 69 and was replaced by a lookalike has dogged the mop top crew ever since Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was released, and it endures even unto today. And talented musician and comedian Greg Smith is here to argue that there's more to this theory than meets the eye. We cover music, murder, money, and the real reason Katelyn hates the music of The Beatles. It's a very bad reason.
