The One Where We Talk About Carly Rae Jepsen

It’s Me. I’m The Boy With The Problems.
She’s the woman that basically formed the podcast when it was called A Reasonable Day. This week Alyssa and Kevin discuss their underrated pop queen, Carly Rae Jepsen. They chat about Carly’s live performances, her loyal fan base, and speculate about her love life. From her beginning on "Canadian Idol", to her burst into the collective consciousness with "Call Me Maybe," and the superior gems to follow, there is much to say and celebrate.
