Eminem, perhaps better known as Marshall Mathers, is notorious for spitting both rhymes and truth. During this episode--our 48th shot--we bring in a Midwest fan club's president to assist us with understanding the nuances of Em's artistic style and ankle-breaking lyricism. Go 'head and grab some spaghetti and listen to us drop bombs on the internet wavelengths....or something...

Ready to return to the good ol' days of deciding between having MySpace or Facebook and unsure which platform was best for you to...share...your life?Do you believe in life after social media?Do you believe in life after auto-tune?We answer none of these and more during this so-so episode.But please like, subscribe, and....share...

Can you guess Who will be the first artist to make a second appearance on this beloved radio program? It may not be Who you think, but it could also very well be Who you think because the answer is above this description. Ironically, some might argue that many people actually *were fooled again...IYKYK

We're back...again! This week we talk mostly about a song we all know by a band we've never heard of. Combinations such as these are why podcasts were invented.Enjoy, Boogaloo Dudes!*Edited with correct Roman Numerals segment. My bad, fam...

We've missed you, TOO! We won't make excuses about the absences, but trust us: we absolutely deserved it. As most podcasters do when covering country music, we devote a lot of time to homicidal tendencies and whether birth order is related to incarceration in the US. Enjoy this episode. Tom Hanks makes an appearance*. *not the real Tom Hanks. We just mention him randomly.

Civil Rights. Media Corruption. Toothpaste Ads. Tongue Twisters. Yep. All right here. Enjoy this audible quest through American history and music from two guys who should have been in bed when they began recording.We dare you. Oh, and listen closely for the tongue twister toward the end. Confounding? Yes. Confusing? Also, yes.Committed to the bit? Sure.

We've been out shopping the past few weeks, but we're back now and we're very pleased to report that we have each purchased new satchels! I'm obviously lying. They're used. Anyway, this week's episode features more of our ignorance and confusion. Oh, and some totally authorized Eddie Murphy stand-up clips from the 80s. Now you're definitely gonna listen, right? Be sure to threaten the lives of everyone around you if they don't subscribe. It might lower the chances of us being sponsored by a funeral home, but we think the good outweighs the bad on this one...

You there! Put that thing down, flip it, and reverse it because it's time to chillax and listen to two white idiots try to discuss the intricacies of Missy Elliott's absolute BANGER from 2002.We have yet another new feature, a favorite Mitch Hedberg joke, an impromptu Eminem song summary, and a display of ignorance toward top-shelf alcohol.tsacdop skeew siht yojne uoy epoh ew

It's our first REPEAT ARTIST episode, so we celebrate by talking about French words getting Americanized, magazine covers, under-appreciated music genre of bossa nova, Linda Ronstadt and feminism, and the horrors of addictionNothing but laughs here, gang!

Back this week with a 'sode that's longer,but we don't think it'll kill ya. We're one-point-five our normal size, and didn't even take a pill, yeah... If you're into music sampling, Monopoly, the Mandela Effect, Steve Carrell, and/or working out, you will find something earther-shattering about this episode. Trust us...we're never wrong. Nor are we ever wronger...

"Inspiration is the result of hard work." That's a quote I just made up to distract you from the fact that this week's episode is a repeat.But fear not, friends. We will (probably) be back soon with all new content for your earholes.For now, find someplace with AC, shove in your preferred earbuds of choice, and (re-?) listen to this stellar episode.Fun fact: "stellar" is an anagram of "lazy podcasters."

Yes, double contractions are a thing, and in this week's episode, we probably spend too much time dwelling on that. We tease a future segment. We insert more completely legal pop culture clips. Marlon Brando makes a cameo. Steve gets triggered. Another thrilling episode, no doubt....

 It took us almost a calendar year and 36 episodes, but we did it: we figured out how to be in the same room as we recorded.This is nothing short of historic.We'd like to thank the academy, of course; our amazing fans, and of course, our families for their undying support.Anyway, aside from the vastly improved audio, this episode covers the essentials: naughty puns, inaccurate historical information, Rob rapping, Steve venting, and Tom Hanks references. 

Like COVID-19, this song is catchy AF, and we definitely do not get sidetracked on things like baseball stats, Jimmy Walker, and deserted island music genre preferences. We would LOVE to see where you are when you're listening! Tag us on ye ol' IG (@ummpod4u) and, though we couldn't say this five years ago....Lets Get Viral Together!

Rest in Peace, Brian Wilson. June 20, 1942 -- June 11, 2025FYI, RIP does not stand forRepeat, Inappropriate PodcastRaunchy, Inarticulate PodorRob Is Proud (that I'm doing this without a production meeting)

Did you press PLAY already? If not, just do that because nothing I write here could preview this episode better than the critically acclaimed cold open that you've either already heard by now or are listening to as you try to read this. That's probably difficult. You know what, just go ahead and go back 30 seconds or whatever and re-listen. It's Poddy™* worthy. This description is almost over.We love you.xoxo -UMM Industries*If Podcast awards aren't called "Poddys" or "Poddies," then we respectfully decline consideration.

Boy howdy do we have a show for you this week! If this episode's feature song is the musical form of the "Just Because..." greeting card, then consider us the Forever stamp and the trained calligraphy on the sharply crafted envelope in which it is carefully placed and mailed without the concern or need for the optional tracking code attached to it.

It's not everyday that you get to spend time talking with your only sibling about a song neither of you know but eventually figure out a way to segue into things we do like to discuss.But this was that day.Anyway, here's "Free Bird"But seriously...we dabble in the potentially sus context of this song, then get to baseball movies, and, of course, end with a potentially sus category we create that you'll just have to listen to know...

Who's a big deal? UMMWho's a bigger Deal? KIM!We start off your week in the only way we know how by publishing a recorded conversation that begins with some chatter about early 90s alt rockers The Breeders. Then--and you're not going to believe this--we discuss some other things of interest.If you like, or are aware of, Tom Hanks, you're going to want to listen to the whole episode. Even the post-credits easter egg.Good times.

Okay, fanz...slide into that cushy booth at your favorite locally owned coffee shop, close your eyes, and return to the early 1990s with us as we start this week's chat with the one, the only, Mazzy Star. That's not her name. That's the name of the group. It's okay if you didn't know that either. We have some classic bits, dip our toes in the shallow end with some Dixie Chicks talk, and debate whether or not "Stranger Danger" is an effective way to scare the living hell out of all parents and young children. In short, another weekly treat! So, live a little and get that scone as well!
