Talking Like A Teen

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

Here it is: The third and final part of our deep dive on Weezer’s 2001 self-titled “Green Album.” We take one final look at some background information (which includes some lawsuits…yikes!) before getting into a fun debate about the songs themselves. Oh, and did you know that one of the songs on this album was originally offered to another famous musician? Thanks for taking this strange journey with us on ...

Part 2 of our 3-Part retrospective on Weezer’s 2001 comeback album arrives just days after its official 25th anniversary. Before we get into the album’s tracks proper, we dive deeper into frontman Rivers Cuomo’s state of mind during his songwriting process. This leads us to an examination of how the infamous “Catalog O’ Riffs” shapes each song and the somewhat scientific approach Rivers implement...

Oh hai. I feel like I haven’t done a write-up in a minute. Um…how’s everyone doing? Oh me?--I’m Living The Dream–see how my joking tone and desperate chuckle convey the opposite? That’s comedy, baybeeee.  Quick, I don’t want to accidentally reveal anything Too Real™ l about myself–pivot to more questions. How was [your] weekend? Let’s engage in Obligatory Weather Conversat...

Adrian here! The wait has been a long one, but here it is: Part 2 of our 2025 music playlists. As Ashley mentions in the episode proper, these picks for some of my favorite songs are probably the most "me" they've ever been and that's rad. We have some fun discussions on recontextualizing heavy music in the modern era, women & non-binary artists in music and we introduce Phase 1 of what we lovingly refer to as the Boygenius Cin...

Ashley, here! So I’m getting ready to move (again) and moving is a few steps below Hell on Earth and the only thing keeping me from rejecting all of my earthly possessions for a life among the jellyfish has been the fact that it’s spring and I’m allergic to being outdoors when there are plants growing. (I am exaggerating, but like…barely.) I’ve been consuming too many YouTube video essays while search...

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 “r...

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-go...

[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 ma...

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 compila...

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...

(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 ...

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 bei...

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, th...

[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 require...

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?

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 v...
