Talking Like A Teen
The podcast where we have a tendency to rush back into our pasts! Inspired by pop duo Tegan And Sara, hosts Ashley Burgy and Adrian King take listeners on an unconventional yet poignant look back at the pop culture that shaped them during their formative years and beyond.

60 episodes. Can you believe we’ve made 60 of these? Hopefully the kids still find “6-7” funny once we reach that point. We’re pretty excited about hitting another milestone, so it’s only fitting that we spend this episode listing “10 Hype Movie Moments That Make Us Black Out.” From massive cinematic franchises to a few hidden gems, we try our best to maintain our composure and not “run through a wall,” as Ashley would often say. O...

Hey, gang! Adrian here. Ashley’s busy checking our Halloween candy at the behest of G.U.A.P.A. and didn’t have time to do a write-up. Apparently she’s requesting all of the fun-size Snickers bars. Who knew rogue computer programs ate chocolate? News to me! Anyway, this was a fun episode to record. We decided to share stories of past Spooky Season wackiness including being radicalized by trick-or-treating, party-going woes and we we...

[The episode’s about Invader Zim, CW: Mild spoilers for a few episodes of a cartoon that is almost 25 years old. Enjoy the following barely related rant below.]
So I had this idea of doing a riff on some ‘90s commercial about Hungry Man TV dinners or something about potatoes (listen to the episode, it’ll make sense), but I found this article today about how this potato chip company (the biggest one, they make most of the chips bu...

Time to get in Emo formation
Lyrics more deadly than Jets to Brazil
That's why I gotta ring da bell!

So, nostalgia for commercials is weird, right?
I was listening to the episode edit, trying to figure out an angle for this write-up that you’re reading (hi hello welcome) and thought maybe it’d be fun to find a super niche piece of media from 2005 and write about it. So I head to YouTube to brainstorm, type in “2005 things” in the search bar and so many of the results were just commercial compilations. Which….struck me as strange...

I’ve started up another Skyrim playthrough, which for me is usually one of the biggest red flags that burnout is raising its ugly head, as this game, while a thing I enjoy, is something I tend to delve into when I need a thing to fill time while not having my brain go brr. (So look forward to that “Conversations with an Adult part 2: Burnout Boogaloo” episode in two months) but. That’s not why I’m here. I’m here to soft pitch the t...

(SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR THE NEW JURASSIC PARK MOVIE YOU KNOW THE ONE WITH SCARJO IN IT [this episode is about the band Silverchair’s album “Young Modern” if you’re skipping the rest of this, enjoy])
So, a week or so ago, one of my favorite humans on the planet and I did a date night of sorts that we called “Diner-saur Night”, in that we went and got gravy-covered greasy breakfast food at a cruddy diner and then went and saw “Jurassi...

Yo, hey, what's happening, dude?
I'm a mothy guy known for bein' rude

It's not intentional, just eyes all a’glow
Huntin’ for tasty snacks to get the best scores

Last name Man, first name Moth
I'm here today to introduce the next phase

So occasionally one of us will make a joke in-episode where my brain goes “Ding! Fodder for the write up” and then I have time to think on it, flush it out, edit out the dumb bits, or forget my original idea, have it again, and essentially…do the same thing, only faster and more of the dumb bits get left in. Anyway. That happened here and we’re doing the second version of it (hence that lead-in sentence being the lead-in.) So, for ...

So, in the part 1 write-up, I referenced this speech class I took in the summer in high school. This is probably the closest in my experiences to doing something like a Project Runway or Top Chef-style reality show–where you are expected to pump out creation after creation on long hours with very little time to recoup or really think through the thing you’re making. You’re basically just getting a crash course, then expected to pop...

[Story Time Jingle] So back in the elusive year of 2004, when Kanye, Tyra Banks, and Joanne Kathleen Rowling were vying for position as voices of our generation, I exploited a loophole in my high school’s graduation requirements for personal lasting gain. They required every human child (and every non-human child pretending to be a human child, let’s be real, we’ve all seen Men In Black) to complete a required Speech class, in whic...

(To the tune of “Bad Boyfriend” by Garbage)
I've got a fever, come check it and see
My anger’s burning and rolling in me
We may not last but there’s no fun till it ends
C'mon, baby, you’re a bad president
I wanna hear you take all of the blame
I wanna see you burn up in flames
Send you to jail so I can cheer with my friends
C'mon, baby, you’re a bad president
So foul, shitty, you suck, can’t you see
But watch out Tool-belt, we...

The episode write up for “Part Twos” is always harder than Part One because there is a part of me that just wants to go “Hey, the one from before? It’s the wrap up of that one. Listen to it because who wants to leave a thing unfinished?” but that feels lazy and I never know how low-effort I can get with these before Adrian frowns at me and thinks, “I waited around for her to do this? Bruh, I could also have done this in ten minutes...

I’ve got Covid, so my brain is just one big foggy abyss that I’m trying to wrangle myself through. Because foggy abyss, I’ve mostly just had on things in the background that I’ve seen too many times–old cartoons like Spongebob. So I just finished watching the Pizza Delivery episode and I can’t help thinking about a Fast & Furious take on that. Brian has too many feelings and crashes the one vehicle they have. They’re forced to walk...

In the town where he was born
Lived a Salarian who sailed to space
And he told us of his life
In the land of spaceships
So he sailed up past the Sun
'Til we found …electricity?
And we crashed beneath the waves
In our Adjacent Galaxy
We all moved to an adjacent galaxy
Adjacent Galaxy, Adjacent Galaxy
We all moved to an adjacent galaxy
Adjacent Galaxy, Adjacent Galaxy
And our friends were all aboard
Many more of them lived next...

When I suggested to Adrian that we should once again turn our shared suffering into Capital-C Content and talk about Mass Effect: Andromeda, we had the normal boring calendar convos that come with any adult trying to interface with another adult in Late Stage Capitalism. We scheduled a record time like normal. Didn’t expect it to go for almost five hours. Boy, were our faces tired after we were done. (Get it? Like the meme?) This l...

Hi! Hello! So originally I was gonna write a version of the song from “We’re Back: A Dinosaur Story” but like…the vast majority of you don’t know that song or probably that movie. John Goodman sings. It’s a whole thing. But the kids today have their Dreamworks and their Disneys and before Dreamworks was riding high on money made from Shrek memes and people paying to not see that Will Smith fish face ever again, those animators work...

On this episode of Talking Like A Teen, we are literally rushing back into our past to check out an episode of Adrian Has Issues from 2018, a year before this podcast would debut, to hear its proto beginnings. The kernel of this show is present here: snotty music chatter, crabbing about how the NHL is terrible and yet we love it, shit talking and general…us…ness. It’s a fun look back. But as this episode is being released around Th...
