Oops, they did it again! Those pesky pop stars are making no sense! In this new comedy-music podcast, singer-songwriter Whitney Wolanin and her guest of the week deconstruct the lyrics of everyone’s favorite pop songs to answer the nagging question: What do you mean?
Comedian and innovator Dave Green (Dave Green’s Street View Show) comes on to discuss Halsey and G-Eazy’s “Him And I”. Though it is grammatically incorrect, this crazy tune really does transport him and Whitney from their “slower part of the world” (London) to a really intense Bonnie and Clyde adventure (who knows where).
Comedienne (and Magicienne) Caroline Mabey might be confused by Little Mix and Stormzy’s “Power” vacuum, but that doesn’t mean she and Whitney won’t have some amazing words to say about it.

Christmastime is here! For your present, we have your favorite comic-sweetheart Steve Bugeja! Also stuffed in Santa’s sack is rampant alcoholism and the UK’s Number One Christmas Smash: “Fairytale Of New York” by The Pogues. Follow us at: @whitneywolanin, SteveBugeja.com, and @whatdoyoumeanpodcast.
It may not be summertime, but it is Allison Summers-time! She’s a comedian and actor, and a really exceptional human, so listen up, y’all: they’re going to try to figure out the potentially-feminist anthem “F.B.G.M.” by T-Pain and Young M.A. Follow us at: @whitneywolanin, @allisonsummersinsti, @whatdoyoumeanpodcast
Optimist, comedian, and actor Chris Cope (Grey’s Anatomy, Tosh.0, Jimmy Kimmel) joins to translate “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Canada’s most disappointing export. After we recorded this, it was nominated for Song, Record, and Pop Duo of the Year at the Grammy’s, which proves no one has read these lyrics.
Actor, comedian, and all-around great guy Grant Collins (iO, The Annoyance, Second City) helps shine some light on the the fairly dark lyrics of “1-800-273-8255” by Logic, Alessia Cara, and Khalid. On a serious note, if you ever feel like you need some help, call 1-800-273-TALK. You can also check out and support AFSP, SPRC, […]
Country artist and songwriter extraordinaire Livy Jeanne comes on to harmonize (a lot) and run from the “Wolves” that Selena Gomez and Marshmello have set free. For following: @WhitneyWolanin, @LivyJeanne, and @whatdoyoumeanpodcast.
It’s about to get dry as the Sahara up in here with special guest: comedian-musician-sarcasm expert J. Chris Newberg (America’s Got Talent). They explore the most “Perfect” hook-up anthem that most of One Direction could come up with.
Pun aficionado and Best-All-Around-In-College Matthew Broussard (Conan, Comedy Central, Mondaypunday.com) does not believe that Louis Tomlinson is “Just Like You”, America. Hop onboard the longest-episode-yet train, and let’s discuss platitudes, astrology, and whether celebrities are, in fact, just like us!
Comedian KT Tatara (How I Met Your Mother) really encourages the listener not to “Love So Soft” like Kelly Clarkson preaches in her new single because, honestly, why would you? Give us a better sales pitch, Kel.
