Ep. 40 weird!

Kiara Gets Drunk and Talks About Music

“Come hold my hand, hold it tight. We’re in a weird time of life.” Episode 40 begs the question – is there any life on mars? Kiara is reunited with her brother (and self-proclaimed “Steve Martin of the podcast”) Ethan to review YUNGBLUD’s sophomore effort, weird! (2020) - with beer sponsored by Midtown Brewing Co.! In this episode we celebrate the creativity, confidence, and tenacity of Dom Harrison and his efforts to build a highly inclusive and diverse collective through music, drawing influence from the likes of My Chemical Romance, The Beastie Boys, Oasis and David Bowie. As always, these siblings take a few detours in the conversation, trying their hand at different British accents and hearing their true feelings on Glee and Pentatonix, but not even a bad Michael Caine impression can disrupt the impact of this Gen-Z trailblazer. Over the course of a few Strawberry Sours, we dissect YUNGBLUD’s music with a message; from the experimental alternative jams to the sickeningly sweet pop bops and the smorgasbord of genres in between, commenting on his ability to captivate an audience with performance and encourage others to always celebrate their differences.
