Careless Whispod: The podcast where Gary and Jeremy drop their heavy metal facades and embrace their pop/rock roots.
Whilst they are locked away avoiding the plague, Gary and Jeremy have taken this time to try something a little different in a bonus episode. They jumped on Zoom and took a deep dive into WAP by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. During this lyrical analysis of this sopping wet hit song, there is talk of Weird Al, freak certification, Korn, ShnozPOS, Allen's Snake Assortments, rural patois, horses, courtroom hijinks and much, much more. Be assured that by the end of this thorough investigation of Cardi's WAP, the listener will undoubtedly know everything there is to know not just about this song but about the complicated process of 7 day a week freak certification. Let us know what you think of the bonus episode! Do you want more bonus lyrical analysis episodes such us these? Hit us up on Facebook, Instagram or at carelesswhispod@gmail.com As always, our theme song is by Scarlett Lyall.
In this episode Gary and Jeremy take things to the extreme and discuss this 90s rock ballad using more than words. That's right, all bet(tencourt)s are off when they talk about Extreme's More Than Words. In this episode there is talk about Wesley Snipes, funk metal, Fartin Popoff, Bill and Ted, grunge and 90s alternative rock, and more. Things get weird in the Did Weird Al Do It segment. The lads show their true feeling in the What Does It Mean Now. Gary is taken by surprise in Comment Ci Comment Ca. The whole episode is topped off with a merging of money shots. As always, Scarlett Lyall made our theme song!

"This is far most tearjeaker/powerful tune ever written. I love Peter Cetera. I remember him from the star group Chicago but left and did great on his own." This is just one example of the moving things people have said about the song Gary and Jeremy cover in this episode. That's right, it's none other than the Karate Kid part 2 hit, Glory of Love by Peter Cetera. The lads sweep the leg and honk the nose of this cheesy pop ballad with talk of Chicago, Rocky 4, Kevin Bloody Wilson, Rodeney Rude and much more. There are segments, sub-segments, new segments and old favourite segments getting flipped on their head much like a Cobra Kai sparring partner. We did it all for pod!

After perhaps sinking a beer or two too many during the You Can Call Me Al episode recording, Gary and Jeremy plow on through discussing Don Henley's 1984 hit The Boys of Summer.
