The Life is in the Lyrics Podcast

From our very first "ep" where Mike confuses Taiwan with Vietnam, to diptychs and dick pics, and lions and cheetahs, it's a trip down memory lane of our first year of podcasting. What's changed (our tagline and format) and what hasn't (Mike not listening to Priya)? What are our most popular episodes and what's in store for season 2? Grab a cocktail and get tipsy with us to find out and have some laughs!

We've got mea culpas on both sides, car rental nightmares and Priya confusing a Minnesota accent with an Indian one. Neither are great BTW. Then it's on with the show and this time it's all about 'answer songs' aka 'reply songs' aka 'diss tracks. Whew, that's a mouthful!

Do you like Wood? Don’t worry, you’re not getting Cancelled, it’s not going to Ruin the Friendship if you don't, but we think it's Actually Romantic! That's right Honey, this week it's all about The Life of a Showgirl.

It's pet pandemonium as we ramble about dogs with loose vulvas, cats who wank too much and dogs that love to eat horseshit, literally. Priya waxes poetic about seeing Shawn Mendes live before she goes rogue and refuses to partake in this week's topic. On principle...because she doesn't work out. Let's see how that affects the episode!

This is the week you get to hear us really DO IT, sorry--the week you get to hear us really DUET. Sure you've heard us sing together before but THIS ep is pure self-indulgence as we sing our way through our fave duets and discuss the all-important issue of songs to add to our repertoire. BTW, do you pronounce the 'r' in repeRtoire? Food for thought folks. 

Yes, we know. It's the second ep in a row named after a Taylor song. Priya has an anticipation problem and Mike gets chased by a fox - and we ain't talkin' the hot daddy kind. Then it's time to reminisce about trips to NYC. Start spreading the news...of hidden speakeasies, dinner at the Rainbow Room, and epic cab-ride puking.

From a spontaneous outing to anniversaries, the 'science' of drinking through a straw and important "bidness" ...we be having a gay ole time! This week we're talking songs that help you chill the fu*k out. Is it a specific artist? album? genre?? All of the above?! Tune in and find out!

We be settlin' into the school year, complaining about family-induced stress, The Flintstones, and gay competitive cooking (huh?). Then it's onto the art of crafting the perfect banger, and we think y'all know where Priya's mind goes. Sooo predictable.

This week we blabber on about engagements and babies, while Priya overshares (again) about car insurance and lady-bits. But the heart of the episode is about Carly Rae....AND being grateful-to those who have introduced new artists onto our playlists and into our music-lovin' lives!

We've been apart for a month so we got a LOT of catching up to do before we go all meta and talk about songs that talk about the importance or enjoyment of music. We cover encounters with bylaw officers, cottage life, the Toronto harbour front on summer nights and a failed romance that lead to Mike meeting his future husband. Grab a drink and settle in folks, this is a long one!
