This week, your celebratory but pensive team take a peek at New Years' songs and wonder about when the world will have a new year. Lachlan tries to carry the feeling of the season, which he does valiantly despite generalised resistance, though he is briefly confused about why Jesus is famous. Along the way, we talk about tricky animals, New Years Accelerationists, the Christmas legacy of Phil Spector, and the complicated atlas of viscous foods in the US. We also, completely organically, Address The Ham again. In this episode, recorded in and on our end-of-year limbo, we cover "In the New Year", by the Walkmen, "Happy New Year", by ABBA (which compels Lachlan to repeatedly bare his feelings about ABBA), and "Auld Lang Syne", by the Irish Rovers. It's maybe our worst recording ever, owing to Lachlan having a reaction to his house's heating and Jess being lost by sexist microphones.

Dear Listener, 

We invite you to take a pause from life's pleasures so you can listen to this week's episode. Today, your lil trickster team does a parody episode, because we each have chosen a parody song (“Jesus Ranch” by Tenacious D, “Bloke” by Chris Franklin, and “Hey Hey We’re the Monkees” by the Monkees) and we also don’t really do the episode at all. Instead, we spend around 45 minutes on visual gags, get nervous about how the political right is taking over humour, and discuss who can get into heaven, and just how horny you're allowed to be there. Jess also lies about when she went to the flea market.

Who Else is Listening

In honour of returning of our returning for Season 2, your mesomorphic team swim against the current to bring you an episode focused on comeback songs: "Here You Come Again" by Dolly Parton; "Maria" by Blondie; and "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" by Backstreet Boys. We also see the comeback of some classic Who Else is Listening themes, such as surprising dads, talking over the top of one another, and being only barely on theme. We also realise that contemporary society is more accepting of people who have big boobs and the Soviet Union lasted a little longer than most would think. Kip and Jess continue being rude to Lachlan but he fights back.
