You remember that 70s Yacht Rock classic by England Dan and John Ford Coley, right? The title was "I'd Really Love To See You Tonight" but just before they sang the title, there was this misheard lyric, a "Mondegreen." John Ford Coley is still touring and played Misquamicut, Rhode Island this summer, just up the coast from whats-her-name. And we talked about food. Sometimes it was the only way he knew what town he was playing in! Before that, Chef Kevin DiLibero of Newport, RI talks about a summer food festival that is shaping up to be the taste of the summer. Enjoy.

Tommy Buoy, guitarist for Yachtley Crew, joins the show to talk about the band's upcoming show at Innsbrook After Hours on Saturday.

John Harbaugh sounds “so old” when addressing his new team the NY Giants in the new season of Hard Knocks. Could John Harbaugh be like Jeff Fisher with the Rams or even Pete Carroll with the Raiders? Kappy predicts that Aaron Rodgers will be benched sometime in this season. We also have your Yacht Rock rejoin of the day and Kappy tells us a story about last night and you won't believe who he saw eating at a restaurant and didn't bother him, which is very un-Kappy like.

“Yacht rock” as a term dates to the early 2000s, but the music it describes lives squarely in the late 1970s and early 80s. We're talking the smooth sounds of summer, a little bit jazz, a touch of funk, a generous dollop of soulful crooning, all undercut by rock instrumentation by some of the grooviest white guys in the biz. You don't have to be on a boat to enjoy yacht rock. It's the perfect summer soundtrack no matter where you are. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate for one of our 2026 Summer Specials as we say ALL ABOARD and attempt to name the best Yacht Rock Song of all time.Songs discussed: “Africa” by TOTO, “Peg” by Steely Dan, “How Long” by Ace, “Ride Like the Wind” by Christopher Cross, “This Is It” by Kenny Loggins, “Steal Away” by Robbie Dupree, “Lido Shuffle” by Boz Scaggs, “All Out of Love” by Air Supply, “What a Fool Believes” by The Doobie Brothers, “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)” by Rupert Holmes, “Baker Street” by Gerry Rafferty, “Saturday in the Park” by Chicago, “Can't Fight This Feeling” by REO Speedwagon, “I Keep Forgettin'” by Michael McDonald, “You Make My Dreams (Come True)” by Hall & Oates, “Baby Come Back” by PlayerJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD Panelists Derek Mekita, Jonny Minogue, and Kate Racculia as they discuss and debate 16 of the smoothest jazz-rock jams from the 70s and 80s.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional yacht-rock gems that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

It's still only July, but Kappy and Geeter wanted to get some NFL talk in as they chatted about Top QB's and the possibility of Aaron Donald coming out of retirement for the LA Rams. Plus, why do we push Christian Pulisic as "the face" of Team USA Soccer when he can't play or doesn't do well in the games that matter? Kappy and Geeter questioned Pulisic's lifestyle.

In 1979, Sister Sledge changed the sound of wedding receptions forever with “We Are Family.” Believe it or not, the Chic-penned banger never made it to No. 1. Steely Dan helped invent Yacht Rock with 1977's jazzy bop “Peg.” (They would have loved it better if it had cracked the Top 10.) And in 1972, Elton John told a timeless tale of a blue-jean baby, a “Tiny Dancer.” Casey Kasem never counted it down.Today on Hit Parade: Chris Molanphy celebrates “near misses”—now-ubiquitous hits that missed the mark on the pop charts, stalling out at No. 2, No. 11, or No. 41. In this episode, Chris zooms in on near-misses from the 1970s, including songs from Paul McCartney, the Spinners, Jackson Browne, Cat Stevens, Diana Ross, and Michael Jackson.
