MASTAS Presents: Money Can't Buy You Podcast 03, "Painkillr" Oct 29, 2018

Show notes

In Episode 3 of MCBYP, Dan and Tracie and Sarah examine the bona fides of RHOBH's own Erika Jayne, the second-most legit musician in the Housewives stable. Is "Painkillr," her 2014 "chart" "topper," a sweaty club banger or a subversive study of a woman on the edge? It depends how quickly you listen to the lyrics.

Episode 121: Travis Tritt, "Foolish Pride" Oct 18, 2018

Show notes

When is a generic country song actually the best country song? As they discuss Travis Tritt's weepy "Foolish Pride," Mark and Sarah realize they don't entirely agree on the answer. However, they both HAVE an answer, which leads to extended metaphors about living rooms and a return to the idea of male emotion in popular song.
Our theme is by Laura Barger and Jack Baldelli, and our outro is by Steve Wariner. Want to request a song, buy a birthday chart reading, or just say hello?

What's worse: A song you've grown to hate, or a song you've always hated? That's the quandary in our discussion of Tom Cochrane's "Life is a Highway" and Jon Secada's "Just Another Day." As we consider our rage, we also touch on party etiquette, ill-fitted shirts, and how to fail at McDonald's.
