Hey Unpopular
There are a lot of podcasts called unpopular opinion, and ours must have been one of the first. The name has changed to "Hey Unpopular" in the years since, but the point remains the same. On this show, we present an unpopular something ... opinion, idea, person, fast food item, whatever else ... and then set about defending that position. But with jokes, also! Lots of jokes! Hosted by comedians Adam Tod Brown and Jeff May. The flagship show of the You Don't Even Like Podcasts Network!
The Humpty Dance Is the Most Influential Song of the '90s

Atif Myers drops in to talk about the hundreds of other songs that have sampled "The Humpty Dance" in the years since it was released, and Jenn Scott is on hand to discuss how it might be the most impossible-to-cover song ever recorded.
