The Poop Song Conspiracy

About this episode

Ethan's embarrassing bathroom incident leads to a bizarre exploration of songs about him and AI music.

One day, Ethan had an unfortunate bathroom incident. Then, he found an entire collection of songs online with his name in the title… and they all seemed to be about that embarrassing moment. That experience sent Ethan and his sister down a bizarre rabbit hole involving AI music, lots of poop jokes, and possibly the world’s most prolific songwriter.
