Talking Like A Teen
Talking Like A Teen is a comedy and pop culture podcast in which two friends (Adrian King and Ashley Burgy) discuss the things that matter most to a pair of music snobs: The music of their formative years, hockey, and their healthy obsession with indie pop duo Tegan and Sara.

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...

It’s End-Of-Year playlist tiiiiiiime! I almost just sent this, but I feel like Adrian might be mad. So. Let’s empty my brain,shall we? Right now it’s just Stardew Valley and “Yule Shoot Your Eye Out”, so…let’s do a Stardew 12 days of Christmas. I got this: For the Feast of the Winter Star, my true love sent to me / Twelve marriage candidates / Eleven potluck soup ingredients / Ten triple espressos consumed / Nine moonlight jellies ...

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...

On this special episode of Conversing with an Adult, Ashley and Adrian come together to celebrate the most holy of TLAT holidays: N7 Day! They pulled out a Prothean relic from Adrian’s podcast “Adrian Has Issues” – an interview they did a couple of years ago with Mass Effect protagonist FemShep voice actor Jennifer Hale! Jennifer Hale talks about recording her first audiobook, making music, and the importance of voting in our curre...

I had like three really grandiose plans for this write up that I banged my head against for awhile before giving up and well…here we are, another one of these stream of consciousness write ups again because none of those really panned out. So, essentially, on this episode of Talking Like A Teen, we tasked ourselves with building Halloween inspired playlists that we exchanged. We analyzed them, we had some laughs, made some referenc...

[To the tune of “Belle” from Disney’s Beauty And The Beast]
Little town, a spooky French village
Every day like the one before
Little town, full of little monsters
Waking up to say
Boo-jour! Boo-jour!
Boo-jour! Boo-jour! Boo-jour!
There goes the vampire with his tray like always
The same old bloody treats to sell
Every morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this grim, spine-chilling town
Grim Mourning, Ban-shee!

(ALERT: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE MASS EFFECT FRANCHISE.) I spent the afternoon at my friends’ kid’s birthday party and spent most of my time trying to think of what to do for this write up while no one talked to me (probably because I was staring off into space thinking about this write up. I’m sure that’s not welcoming.) The obvious “rewrite ‘Midnight Train to Georgia’ about Mass Effect” was right there, but I’ve bee...

(DISCLAIMER: This is not an endorsement of an actual currency, crypto or otherwise. In fact, quite the opposite, as money is stupid and only real because we as a society pretend it has value. The following, at its core, is me taking a joke made on this episode too far, as per usual. This is the second half of the Minivan Rock episode. Link to the list is below. Enjoy the madness.)

Who has no eyes, nose or mouth? Who wears Vans when they lumber about? They do, They do! Who stands six Nerf Blasters Tall? Who manifested Gritty’s downfall? They do, They do! Who unleashes play in you? Who shoots darts from their sea-doo ? They do, They do! Who wants you to touch some grass? Who wields a gun with maximum sass? They do, They do!

On this episode of Talking Like A Teen, unlike previous ones, this one is about…nothing. Like a Seinfield episode, I guess? Only with less New York references. If you ever wondered what a casual non-podcast conversation between the two of us sounds like, here it is, in its mildly edited glory. It’s two elder millennials having a couple of adult beverages, decompressing from the bowels of living in this late-stage capitalist hellsca...

Katherine and Tanya, ooh, I wanna take ya
There’s Adam and Tommy,
Rocky’s got head trauma
Kimberly and Jason
(Baby Justin please stay home)
In the next dimension
There's a place with Maligor
That's where you wanna go to get away from it all
Dead bodies in the sand, spewing lava melting off your hand
We'll be running away from the possessed drum band
Down with Maligor

There’s Adam and Tommy...

Network Executive: “We at the network want a Power Rangers movie with attitude. It’s edgy. It’s in your face. You've heard the expression "Shift Into Turbo." Well, this is a movie that gets "Tur-Booo." Consistently and thoroughly. Oh, God, yes. We're talking about a totally outrageously creepy puppet. We’re talking about vehicles with the power and velocity of turbo technology.”
Writer: “Excuse me, but "Turbo" and "Velocity"- aren...

Sometimes podcasting is recording something two years ago, technology ruining it, and then you forget to re-record it until you schedule a time to record with your podcast partner two years later, and neither of you really prepped to talk about your original topic, so you flail around until one of you stumbles upon a google document from the past. So the timeline makes about as much sense as the Fast and Furious timeline. (wink) So...

On this episode of Talking Like A Teen, Adrian blindsided Ashley with our topic for the evening: Weezer. They go through Weezer’s discography and history, while also trying to navigate Rivers Cuomo’s progression from Indie Rock Darling to Karaoke Bar Annoyance. While trying to make their way on this weird road trip, they find their way to some weird tourist traps like World’s Biggest Snake on a Plane, a corn maze of Bette Midler’s ...

On this episode of Talking Like A Teen, Ashley & Adrian tackle yet another set of year-end playlists. We discuss that despite the world being a metaphorical dumpster on fire, new releases this year were numerous and great. We go through our favorite hipster nonsense, rock gods, music TikTok tried to ruin, hip-hop, video game jams, and Garbage <3. We also filled our yearly Hockey Talk quota, as we mark the retirement of Ben Bishop (...

On this episode of Talking Like A Teen, Ashley & Adrian have stone-facedly lumbered from the Non-Podcasting Swamp, carrying our oil lamps and walking verrrrrrrrry slowly as we do our best Bray Wyatt impressions. (The video’s below, it’ll make sense, I promise.) We each sit down in our rocking chairs and then the stage lights come up and we begin to discuss the soundtrack for Scream 2 (1997), because it’s spooooooky season and that’...

This week we low-key introduced our mini-episode series entitled Conversing With An Adult. Ashley takes a brief moment to give listeners a heads up with what we've been up to plus get a little real about burnout and content creation. Thank you for sticking with us. It means more than you'll ever know.
