This week on This Dude Started Something, we sat down with the band behind the ultimate windows-down, scream-the-lyrics, feel-good anthem: The Mowgli’s. With almost 500 million Spotify streams, they’ve defined a generation of good vibes — and they’re officially making a comeback.
In this episode, Josh, Katie, Andy, and Matt open up about their roots in the Southern California garage scene, how their love for live performance turned into a national movement, and what it's like to look back on the wild journey that made them the soundtrack to so many people's lives.
We dive into how their breakout hit San Francisco went from a local jam to a global anthem, how the band formed (spoiler: love story included), and what it’s really like to write, tour, and evolve as a creative group. You’ll also hear about their musical philosophy, why they believe collaboration > isolation, and how they’re approaching this next era of music with more excitement than ever before.
And yes — we got the exclusive: The Mowgli’s are officially releasing new music starting this April, with a fresh rollout of singles and a renewed spirit.
This episode features their iconic song "Say It, Just Say It" as both the intro and outro — a full-circle moment we couldn't be more stoked about.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
