The KC crew is BACK. After lying dormant for seven lunar cycles, Alex and Chris have emerged with a renewed sense of purpose… AND a brand-new single. In their triumphant return, the Cuzzins talk about their just-released 2024 track - their first collab in 11 years - “Treat Yourself.” They discuss the impetus for the song, why they felt compelled to rap once again, and - along the way - weigh in on the Kendrick/Drake/Cole beef. Join us? Stream “Treat Yourself” by Kissing Cuzzins wherever you stream music. Follow Keef on X @keefherbin. Follow KC on Instagram @kissingcuzzins.

This is it, folks. In the action-packed SEASON FINALE of the Kast, we are discussing the very last song on KC's final album. It's a track called "Puft Up," and in addition to some wild and drugged-out rhymes, it features none other than DJ Ray on the cuts.  Join us as we reflect on what (SPOILER ALERT) may be our most successful all-around track. We'll also talk about how rapping is like caulking a bathtub... the time Proxy went to an acoustic Everclear concert and was very disappointed... and much more. One last time... join us?

Margot Robie! Ryan Gosling! Simu Liu! We hear they're ALL in that new Barbie movie. (We don't know for sure, we haven't seen it.) Our understanding is that if we mention them throughout the Kast, we'll get a big check sent our way. So... here's hoping. Ahem. Also in today's episode: We discuss the serial killer-themed song "Sociopathy" from our sophomore album, W.E.B.A.C.K. It's a weird little ditty that features guest vocals from our good friend Vov Abraxas. We'll get into the music, lyrics and more. Plus: Dead pets and what's happening on Sesame Street these days (it isn't good). Join us? Follow us on Twitter: @KastingCuzzins / @KeefHerbin Follow Chris on TikTok: @wontkeefdoit

Have you ever wondered what it would sound like if two guys who've never been in a fight wrote a song about fighting? Well, prepare to have your curiosity satisfied... sort of. In this week's episode of the Kast, Alex and Chris discuss yet another of their novely rap songs. Is it more successful than the time they rapped about stealing from a museum? You be the judge. (But the answer's no.) Join us? Follow us on Twitter: @KastingCuzzins / @KeefHerbin Follow Chris on TikTok: @wontkeefdoit

Get these fellas to the casino! In this super-sized episode of the Kast, Proxy and Keef welcome yet another Chris to the show to discuss “Brilliant Banter,” a pass-the-mic that manages to reference everything from Bob Probert to Octoroks. Along the way, we talk Rain Man, Raine Maida and whether Frankenstein’s monster *really* sang “Puttin’ On the Ritz” at the end of Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel. Join us?

Kickin' off the summer in style - discussing attempts on Salman Rushdie's life along with our favorite tunes in relation to the summer solstice. But first, we discuss a beat that Alex made for a Sweet Tooth track. Join us? Follow us on Twitter: @KastingCuzzins / @KeefHerbin Follow Chris on TikTok: @wontkeefdoit

You can say a lot of things about Keef, but he is a man of principle. And in today's episode of the Kast, he is once again confronted with an age-old quandry involving Weezer's lead singer and an unlucky equine, uh... companion. Along the way, we discuss the 10th track on our sophomore LP, W.E.B.A.C.K. ("Say What"), as well as what it was like to work at K-Mart and the prolifery of Lil Wayne.  Join us?

Let us remind you up front, again, that this is a RAP podcast. Got it? Good. Okay. So, in this week's episode, we talk about the 2003 Thomas Jane vehicle Dream Catcher... that time Mark Wahlberg said he would've prevented 9/11... and whether Big Pun really needed all those rulers. Oh, and we also discuss some terrible rap we made (which is, once more, the usual foocus of this podcast). Join us?

Oh god, not this again... Once more, the boys are reviewing one of their attampts at conscious - i.e. "woke" - rap, a track titled "An Open Letter." But... an open letter to who? That's the question at the heart of this week's episode. And, furthermore, what does Beetlejuice have to do with it?? We dig into it all (and more). Join us? Follow us on Twitter: @KastingCuzzins / @KeefHerbin Follow Chris on TikTok: @wontkeefdoit

The Kast is BACK AGAIN with more of the hard-hitting musical analysis you crave. This week we're digging into some odd spoken word poetry about dead birds and hot kisses - a track called "Either/Or" from our sophomore album as white rap duo, W.E.B.A.C.K. We do our best to determine what it all means... and along the way get into spirited discussions about Bill Haley, Sage Francis, Heidi Gardner and more. (What can we say? We're just SO #random!)

"Is this butt rock?" That's the essential question posed in this week's episode of Kasting Cuzzins, the only podcast (that we know of) where two former white rappers reflect on their time in rap... and typically feel quite bad about it.  Will that be the case this time? You'll have to join us and see if this week's track, "I'll Let You," can rise above the mucky muck. Along the way we'll discuss (what else?) key lime pie... Incubus... and the tragic loss of the "Trapped in the Closet" series. Let's gooo! Follow us on Twitter: @KastingCuzzins / @KeefHerbin Follow Chris on TikTok: @wontkeefdoit

We’re back again, proving time remains a flat circle. This week the KC crew is auditing a pass-the-mic they recorded in 2009 titled “Public Outcry.” A befuddling rap track with references to Legend of Zelda and Teaching Miss Tingle, it’s the third song to appear on KC’s second proper album, W.E.B.A.C.K. Along the way, we’ll discuss hashtag rap, why some people get to pronounce the name “Ralph” all fancy-like, and that time 35-year-old Jerry Seinfeld dated a teenager. Join us?

What's this? A special B-B-B-BONUS episode of your favorite Kast?! That's right. Because we love you, we recorded this exclusive conversation about Chris (AKA Keef Herbin)'s first-ever attempt at stand-up. It's been less than a week since he took the stage. Let's grill him about how it went and what's next for his burgeoning comedy career. Join us?

Hooo boy, we've got a certified doozy of an episode for you today. As we resume exploring our second "proper" album, we dig into the title track - "W.E.B.A.C.K." - which features all sorts of references to female anatomy, U.K. collegiate football teams and a surprising drum sample. Listen in astonishment as we dissect the track, with diversions involving the Beastie Boys and the now-defunct trippy rap project, Pony Bwoy (which is dope, BTW). Join us?

The Kast you know and love is BACK... in its original form! In other words, WE BACK, which is more or less the title of our sophomore album as a white rap duo. In today's ep, we dig into the intro track and set the table for a brand new season of KC shenanigans. And if that weren't enough, we even get a visit from a certain "Fast & Furious" A-lister. You don't want to miss it. Join us? Follow us on Twitter: @KastingCuzzins / @KeefHerbin

The yule log is still burning as we dive into the second half of our big holiday two-parter. This time we're taking a look at some novelty Christmas rap that makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. We also rip apart the beloved (WHY??) "classic," A Christmas Story - aka boomer xmas porn - as well as Elf because why not? But rest assured, we're not just cosplaying Statler and Waldorf over here... we have some highly constructive suggestions to make these films better. You're welcome, Hollywood! You'll find all that and more in today's ep. Join us? Follow us on Twitter: @KastingCuzzins / @KeefHerbin

Boo! Wait, that's not right... HO HO HO! Therrre we go. Hey there! Welcome to our big KC holiday special. It's a two-parter don'tcha know? In this week's ep, we're looking back at a bonafide Christmas classic as re-envisioned by Idaho's top industrial act. And once again, we're back on all kinds of B.S., such as impersonating the Beatles, talking about Mitch Hedberg and negging Michael Bolton's "Little Drummer Boy." We also get into the story of how one time Alex was "saved" by a friend's weird church when he was young? It's a cautionary tale for the ages. It's all HERE, in part one of our *surprise* holiday series. The mood is right... the spirit's up... we've got some nog... why not join us? Follow us on Twitter: @KastingCuzzins / @KeefHerbin

Big things are happening at #LunchBreakz, fam. In addition to indulging Chris' new fascination with numerology, the Cuzzins are sharing a BIG announcement... one that's sure to echo throughout the lunchroom for some time. But it isn't all ciphers and revelations. (Wasn't that a Muse album?) In today's ep, you'll also hear KC's final recommendations for 2022 - including tracks by Jockstrap, Joywave and more - plus a POWERFUL debate over whether or not grits can be good. Join us?

Twas the week after Thanksgiving... Cyber Monday, in fact... when the #LunchBreakz crew decided to talk about rap... Well, hi there! Why don't you pull up a seat here in the internet's break room and join us (Alex and Chris) as we kick off the holiday season? It's gonna be FUN. Today we're throwing shade at lame Old King Wenceslas as well as discussing recent releases by AKAI SOLO and Ghais Guevara. We'll also recommend some off-kilter jams to help you embrace festivity without settling for the same ol' xmas B.S. Plus... Yet another development in the "Bizarro Cafe" saga. Don't miss it! Follow us on Twitter: @KastingCuzzins / @KeefHerbin

Thiiis is how we dooo it... And by "dooo it" we of course mean, "podcast." Hey! Welcome to the eighth episode of #LunchBreakz, lovingly recorded the night before the midterm elections. But don't worry, this (still) is very much NOT a political Kast. Go listen to Ezra Klein or something. Today we are gushing over the just-released mixtape in Westside Gunn's Hitler Wears Hermes series, as well as tracks by Prince Daddy & the Hyenas and LVL Up. The squad also pays respects to recently departed rapper, artist and former Weatherman, Tame One. And Chris reveals a new catchphrase. Join us? Follow us on Twitter: @KastingCuzzins / @KeefHerbin
