Annie Keating (singer/songwriter, musician) is on the show to chat about John Prine’s “I Remember Everything” and her new album, Bristol County Tides! But, before we get into it, a question for the ages is prompted—who’s hotter: Paul Newman or Robert Redford?



When the dust settles, we discuss Annie’s pick, “I Remember Everything” by the late, great John Prine. Prine is a titan of folk music and you should familiarize yourself if you’re not already a fan.









Annie shares how Prine was a creative catalyst for the songs on her album, spending time outside of Brooklyn, learning to sail, and being honest with her music. That honestly hits another level when we get to hear what it’s like writing a song for someone and what it’s like to play that for them. Then we get introspective and try to pick out our number one albums of all time!



This week we’re supporting The Jalopy Theatre and School of Music in Brooklyn. This school celebrates folk music through festivals, classes, and outreach to local schools. Their hope is to support local and visiting artists all while educating students and whoever attends their shows. So join us in supporting The Jalopy’s cause!

Musician Erik Garlington (Proper.) took our prompt of “a song you always put on a road trip playlist” and turned it on its head! Erik’s song is the wild Zelooperz “ISBD” — a song he loves, but nobody else in the van seems to enjoy quite as much. Payback for all the Korn that gets played? Who can say! There’s a show first of Evan & Pat giving their real-time reactions to this chaotic dolphin-sampled track.



Erik tells us about moving in a military family, how that impacted his self-identity and ultimately inspired his music “thing.” The conversation explores touring and what it’s like doing all that driving, understanding how much malarkey is acceptable in the van, and being on the road with your best friends. He also talks about his approach to forming the band and who he was looking to play music with.



This episode we’re donating to Planned Parenthood of Greater New York. (Or, your local branch!)

Actor, writer, and director Jerah Milligan (Black Mirror, Astronomy Club, Black Men Can’t Jump) joins the boys to talk about the feel-good smash “This Is How We Do It” by Montell Jordan. The fellas discuss music that makes you feel good, Montell Jordan’s overlooked rap skills, and the one golden rule for karaoke: NO BALLADS.

Actor, writer, and comedy mastermind Alex Song-Xia (Rick and Morty, The Squirrel Comedy Theatre) is on the show to discuss the adolescent masterpiece that is “Teenage Dirtbag” by Wheatus. Reaching back into our vault of past Repeater guests, we surprised Alex with Wheatus frontman Brendan B Brown! The episode begins with a discussion around how and perhaps why “Teenage Dirtbag” entered Alex’s life sometime around 2013 and what has made it their most-played song according to Last.fm. Around the 25-minute mark, Brendan joins the conversation to answer questions about the song, discuss its staying power, and pitch Alex on his dream for a Wheatus and Rick and Morty collaboration. Bringing these two fans of each other together is truly a dream and makes for a very special episode.

Surprise! Here’s a bonus episode that was mostly an excuse for Evan and Pat to catch up. They revisit the conversation that sparked Repeater in the first place. “What’s new? What have you been listening to?” The guys chat about Covid, anticipating vaccines and their plans when fully vaccinated. The glimmer of hope for a return to “normalcy” lends a bit of positivity to the understandably tough year.



First up, Evan explores The New Pornographers’ classic “Letter From An Occupant.” He describes how it has the “edge” he was looking for in Indie rock, the boys discuss Canadian supergroups, and dive into the bonkers lyrics. Plus, they shout out the recent Worriers cover and how much of a treat The Old Friends EP is in general—a delightful set of covers to be a little light in a dark year.









Next up, Pat brings a live version of “Hunted by a Freak” by Mogwai. The news of their album As the Love Continues hitting #1 on the charts inspired him to explore their archives and uncovered a collection of tracks from Peel Sessions on BBC Radio 1. Pat talks about vocoders, patience with instrumental music, and what the song title ‘means.’









The privilege of getting vaccinated helped to inspire the idea to promote charities with the show. This week Evan and Pat invite you to join them in donating to Astoria Mutual Aid. Started at the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, Astoria Mutual Aid aids the people of Western Queens. They assist those in need with groceries, picking up prescriptions, baby supplies, and most recently assisting with vaccination appointments. Solidarity forever!

This week on Repeater, comedian Amir Khan (Honey Baby Sweetie Love, UCB) is on the show to talk Every Time I Die’s “Underwater Bimbos From Outer Space.” A song with a serious title! Finally!!



Amir tells us what he loves about this song, how he discovered Every Time I Die in the first place, and why he’s seen them live a ton! Pat, shockingly, is very excited to talk about all things heavy and loud. We explore what you’d think a band called “Every Time I Die” sounds like versus their actual sound. That leads the group to discuss the allure of heavy music and the varieties available under that umbrella. Plus! Hear Pat’s theory of “death metal is on the same spectrum as ambient music.” How exciting!



This season, we’re donating $$ to the cause of our guest’s choice! Amir’s charity of choice is the Florida Immigrant Coalition. This Florida-based coalition of 65 organizations works towards the fair treatment of all people, including immigrants. They provide resources to help people go to college, know their rights, and gain citizenship. Please join us in donating to this wonderful organization if you can!

Today on the internet! Writer, comedian, and Missy Elliot superfan Kelley Quinn (Straight Marriage, Eating Shit and Loving It) is here to talk about Lil Wayne’s “Mrs. Officer,” a song that Wikipedia says, “goes so far as to reference the famous rap song ‘Fuck tha Police‘ (though in a literal sense).” Kelley tells us why she’s been thinking of Lil Wayne recently and shares a story of self-realization en route to a Rilo Kiley show. We discuss whether or not “Mrs. Officer” would be released in 2021 and Kelley sparks a lovely socialist dialogue about defunding the police, abolishing prisons, and medicare for all.



This season, we’re donating $$ to the cause of our guest’s choice! Kelley is a passionate supporter of the NYC-DSA’s Racial Justice working group and their Defund NYPD Campaign. The NYPD’s $10 Billion budget is more than the Departments of Health, Homeless Services, Housing Preservation and Development, and Youth and Community Development combined. It is the largest police department budget in the country. The goal of defunding this department is to reinvest those direly needed funds back into our communities. Join us in donating to the Defund the NYPD Campaign if you’re able to!

Welcome to Season 4 of Repeater! After a deep hibernation and a few bunker episodes early on in the 2020 pandemic, the boys are back in town with actor and writer Devin Gant (Young Douglas, I Ruined My Childhood). Devin brings with him a masterpiece in Marvin Gaye’s “Turn On Some Music” and the whole team dives deep right from the jump. If you’re curious about R&B, boogie, blue-eyed soul, country music, or what makes Long Island punk a thing, this is the jam. Devin shares about his musical journey both in childhood and adulthood and reveals the legend of Logg.



The perfect companion pieces for this episode are two mixes created by Dev himself: AlphaMix Volume 1 and AlphaMix Volume 2, available on Spotify.



Starting this season, we’re donating to the cause of our guest’s choice! Devin introduced us to the charity Education Through Music. This incredible organization helps to provide music education to 50+ schools and nearly 18,000 students. Join us in donating to Education Through Music if you’re able to!

From the depths of Pandemic 2020, the Repeater fellas sit down with Ali Gordon (UCB, SECOND BEST: A D&D Adventure) to talk about Elaine Stritch’s iconic performance of “I’m Still Here” from Stephen Sondheim’s 80th Birthday Concert. With a background in musical theater, Ali educates the boys on several touchstones of Broadway, including the lasting appeal of Sondheim. They also talk about Judy Kuhn’s performance of “Vanilla Ice Cream” from She Loves Me and Michael Jeter’s performance of “Let’s Raise A Glass” from Grand Hotel, which are similarly delightful. Ali doubts her taste in music, but you will learn she has excellent taste, especially if you also happen to enjoy Phish. If you love musical theater or live performance in general, you will deeply relate to this conversation.

Brady O’Callahan is back! Brady joined us to talk about comfort music, relaxation routines, and a lot about Brazil. Staying inside has been rough on us all so we talk a little about routines like exercise, coffee, and enjoying our record collections.



Brady’s first comfort song is Azymuth – Vôo Sobre o Horizonte, a stringed, synth-filled romantic montage of a song. He tells us about how he discovered this song and album at a small hole-in-the-wall record store in Rio, Brazil. We get into foreign language music, the instrumental feeling you get from it, and how it changes when you start picking up some words.



Brady has also been listening to Burl Ives – Lavender Blue. It’s a sweet, calming song that shows strength through its simplicity. And, honestly, we’re happy that it’s back to retake “Dilly Dilly” from those clout-chasing fools at Budweiser trying to get Old Spice Weird!



Then there’s a bit of saudade for Brazil – Both Brady and Pat visited Traço de União in Pinheiros, São Paulo for feijoada and some music from Bloco Pagu! Small world!

Well, there’s not much more to do during this pandemic than stay inside, listen to music, and record podcasts about it. Pat and Evan catch up on what they’ve been doing during the pandemic so far and what life has been like since the last season of Repeater wrapped. Join them for tales of couple-isolation, trips to Brazil, and how to lean into Spotify’s algorithm. Subscribe for more eps during this time of downtime.

At the very end of 2019, the Repeater crew invited seven hilarious guests to count down the top ten songs of the year. Comedians include Leslie Diana, Jordan Camille Randolph, Juan Nicolón, Milly Tamarez, Molly Kiernan, Peter Johnston, and Brooks Allison. Recorded LIVE at QED in Queens, NY.



Although we just lived through the year that was 2019, it’s incredible to re-experience it through a bunch of comedians’ favorite songs. Boy Brooks performs original music and we find out which song was the very best of 2019!

Evan and Pat are back, along with seven special guests, as they count down the best tracks of 1997. Comedians include Kyle Gordon, Sally Ann Hall, Anjali Desai, Mic Nguyen, Ty Portis, Nanie Méndez, and Harris Mayersohn. Recorded LIVE at QED in Queens, NY.



Believe it or not, 1997 was a HUGE year for music, with everybody from Celine Dion to the Backstreet Boys and Matchbox 20 to Joe (?) hitting the Billboard Top 100. It was also the year we landed a rover on Mars, so let’s give it up for 1997! These seven comedians pitch their favorite songs of the year and then Evan and Pat rank them, filling out the top ten list with a few choices of their own.



To close the show, Kyle Gordon performs some of his hilarious musical comedy for us, channeling teenage emo kids, Colbie Caillat, and Bazilian jazz singers.

It’s our first-ever top 10 countdown! Join Evan and Pat, along with ten of their hilarious friends, as they count down the best tracks of 2009. Comedians include Amanda Giobbi, John Ross, Addie Weyrich, Taylor Garron, Tom Sanchez, Michelle Francesca Thomas, Fumi Abe, Patrick Sweeney, Rachel Joravsky, and Bridgette Rizkalla. Plus, music from Kaylyn Marie Scardefield. Recorded LIVE at QED in Queens, NY.



Recorded, coincidentally, in the midst of the #10yearchallenge social media craze earlier this year, our 2009 countdown is everything you wish TRL had been. Ten comedians each pitch us their pick for the best song of 2009 and the competition is fierce! There are emotional appeals, eyes-closed guided experiences, costumes, and even shit talk. It’s hilarious, beautiful, and fun as hell.



Our very good friend, Kaylyn Marie Scardefield joins us for this momentous new live show to play some of her wonderful new songs and serenade us with a brilliant medley of 2009 hits.

On Repeater this week, we talk with comedian, satirist, writer, and editor Taylor Garron (Reductress, Vulture) about Avey Tare Slasher Flick’s “Little Fang,” Taylor’s undying love for anything in the Animal Collective family, and how the jangle-y 60’s cocktail sound of Little Fang got her through this past year with its power to pep and motivate.



We kick off our episode with a taste of everyone’s current favorites, from Pat’s pick of PUP’s new album Morbid Stuff (specifically “Closure” and “Full Blown Meltdown“), to Evan’s pick of “Tempo” by Lizzo & Missy Elliot (Lizzo’s song drops are a recurring theme this season), and Taylor’s self-described musical regression with MF Doom’s “Rhymes Like Dimes” and Blind Melon’s “No Rain“. We also talk about more 2018 moments from the suspension of the suspension of the L train and the death of the queen of soul: Aretha Franklin.



This episode has everything: from Taylor deep-diving into her admiration for the whole Animal Collection clan, to relating musical talent, technique, and instinct to her own growing career in comedy, all rounded out with a key tip for cooking with wine. Check it out!

This week on Repeater, we sit down with comedian, writer, and producer Mariah Smith (Keeping Up With the Kontinuity Errors, Time Magazine) about Betty Who’s “Heartbreak Dream,” and talk about Mariah’s deep passion for pop, and how her upbringing influenced her current pop culture expertise.



We start by discussing what everyone’s listening to right now, from Pat’s pick of Baroness and their new song “Borderlines”, to Evan’s “Love Supreme” by Nao, to Mariah’s plea for everyone to listen to Noah Reid’s “Simply the Best” cover from Schitt’s Creek. Then we touch on more prominent 2018 moments like the Ethiopia/Eritrea peace deal, and the indictment of Harvey Weinstein.



Pat and Evan dive into Mariah’s 2018 and her love for New Zealand pop star Betty Who. We discuss why Mariah loves the science of pop music, acoustic covers of top 40 hits, and why listening to lyrics is always of the upmost importance.

This week on Repeater, we talk with comedic performer Michael Stevens (Magnet Theater) about Shura’s “2Shy” and how the song got him through a post break-up year and reminds him to feel his feelings. Michael takes us on a personal journey through his 2018, with setbacks, highlights, and his experiences re-entering the dating world.



We kick off the episode chatting about the songs we’re into right now: “Time” by Jafaris , “1080p” by Sammus and “I Want Love” by Elton John, you remember…the video with with sad Robert Downy Jr. Then, we return to some newsworthy moments from 2018, from the Stormy Daniels scandal to the first woman Doctor in Doctor Who.



In this episode, we explore: crushes, beginnings & endings, and finding yourself all through the lens of the glittery yet sad sounds of “2Shy.” Pat, Evan, and Michael talk journaling, self-improvement, Doctor Who, unrequited love, and more Doctor Who—a lot of Doctor Who.

This week on Repeater, we’re talking with comedian Rachel Pegram (UCB, That Shit Ray, Low Fi NYC) about Jonathan Nelson’s “My Name Is Victory”, and how it got her through the year, and kept her writing. Pat, Evan, and Rachel talk about the uplifting nature of gospel music, and hash out the “god” of it all.



We open this episode with current favorites like: “Worry” by Grace Vunderkuhn, “No Drug Like Me” by Carly Rae Jepsen, and Noname’s album: “Room 25”. Then we delve back into 2018 head on by planning an impromptu group trip to DC to see the new Obama portraits, which went up in the National Gallery this past year. In less exciting 2018 events, we talk about the northern California wildfires, and why you should not toss a joint after a hike.



Rachel shares with us her connection to gospel music, as both a genre that can motivate her, but also one that grounds her and connects her with her church going childhood in Texas. Rachel and the hosts talk about how the song is a different type of empowering than the strutting jams of a Lizzo or a Rihanna. It’s a song that does not need to try and be cute or clever, but will just make you feel like: “you’ve got this”, something we all could’ve used in 2018.

This week on Repeater, we talk with comedian and writer Bailey Swilley (BoogieManja, Pretty Women: A Real Housewives Musical Review) about “I Like It” by star of 2018, Cardi B. In this episode, we explore music that can’t help but lift you up, empower, and push through the cold, dark winters…even if you don’t, say, own a Lambo’. Bailey and our hosts talk about happy music and other things Bailey used to keep her upbeat in 2018, like her pup Muppet, and really leaning into her love of reality TV.



We start our episode with everyone’s current musical obsessions from “Generator” by Turnstile , to “Breathing Underwater” by Hiatus Kaiyote, to Big Freedia and RuPaul. We hit some more 2018 highlights and low lights like the Queer Eye revival (and the great Antoni debate), as well as the much less fun Brett Kavanaugh hearings. 



Bailey tells us about her love of Cardi B as a new type of unapologetic star and how “I Like It” can be perfect, both when you need a motivator, and when you just want to not care. We also delve into the great mystery of why it’s so enjoyable to hear rappers flaunt their wealth even when you’re broke.

This week on Repeater, we talk with drummer, guitarist, and vocalist Mikey Erg (The Chris Gethard Show, Worriers, Early Riser The Ergs!, 100 Other Bands) about “Tommy’s Coming Home” by unbelievable dream team Paul McCartney & Elvis Costello. This episode, we dive into how this song got Mikey through this past year and how the song’s harmonies and subject matter become malleable to fit any mood. Pat, Evan, and Mikey delve into the instant nostalgia the song manages to create and how it colored 2018, a year, that for Mikey, included the tremendous professional/personal landmark of recording his next album at Abbey Road.



We start our discussion with everyone’s current musical obsessions from “Skeleton” by Mourn, to “Cuz I Love You” by Lizzo, and Mikey takes us into an in-depth and gorgeously nerdy dive into audio history with a discussion of 5.1 and quadrophonic albums. We also tackle a few more 2018 highlights and low lights such as the Winter Olympics and government shutdowns.



Mikey tells us about how “Tommy’s Coming Home” comes from a lifetime of loving The Beatles and record collecting. We talk about both the stripped down demo and the highly produced version, and the sheer excitement of listening to a previously unreleased song for the first time from giants like Paul McCartney and Elvis Costello.



This is an episode for people who’s immense musical passion started from childhood. Mikey talks buying records with his Mom at two years old, and getting CDs from his Dad, a professional cover band musician. Plus, Mikey plays us two songs to end the episode!
