On this episode of Talking Like A Teen, Adrian and Ashley finish discussing their “Summer Jams” playlist. They tackle Adrian’s indie jams from the latter aughts, as well as discussing how awkward the word “aughts” actually is. Their conversation goes some places--from squeeing over the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the Thermals, to getting caught up in our feelings about the National, to politics in music and coming to terms with enjoying art from troublesome people. Oh, and (for the second consecutive episode!!) they also actually talk about Tegan and Sara.

Previously on the last episode of Talking Like A Teen, Adrian and Ashley put together a “Summer Jams” playlist that covered the 2000s decade, with each host covering half of a decade. This go-around, the duo swap half-decades and begin working on building their second playlist. They also threaten to fight every single one of you (because we value you, we promise!) before brainstorming hypothetical Florida Panthers’ goal song choices and dealing with high school angst. Oh, and they also actually talk about Tegan and Sara.

On this episode on Talking Like A Teen, Adrian and Ashley take a break from summer vacation to put together a 2000s “Summer Jams” playlist.

The duo also stretch their vocal cords before announcing their very legitimate not at all get-rich-quick scheme plans to release a trap/pop punk album.

They also spend some time wrapping up the 2018-2019 NHL season and the Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues. (!!!)

On this episode of Talking Like a Teen, Adrian and Ashley bust out their best Ja Rule impressions for a deep dive into the first film of the high art The Fast and the Furious franchise.

On this episode of Talking Like A Teen, Adrian finally makes good on his promise to spend time with Tegan and Sara’s album Heartthrob...sort of.

Adrian and Ashley also roll out their new recurring segment that they definitely planned and did not come up with on-air.

Adrian and Ashley do a deep dive into the 2001 Garbage album beautifulgarbage.
