Punch Up The Jam

Andrew and Evan Gregory (of The Gregory Brothers) are joined by a special guest every week to revisit, review, and revise a song of their choice, and then offer an improved "punched-up" version.

It's the hit of the century! It sounds like it's from the 1980s and the 2080s at the same time!

Everyone and their pet alien loves this song, and that's why, to punch it up, we knew we had to enlist the help of Connor Ratliff, a legend in the podcastiverse for his dedication to dissecting utter minutiae. And Connor did not disappoint, at one point obsessing over the syllables in a single measure to the point that Evan yelled "YOU HAVE GASLIT YOURSELF!"

Our intrepid astronauts veer across the Milky Way and discover connections from Dua Lipa's Levitating to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Jon Ossoff, and beer-brewing Trappist monks.
