Episode Synopsis

Kyle Gordon has arrived! From viral alter egos like DJ Crazy Times to his genre-bending comedy albums Kyle Gordon Is Great and Kyle Gordon Is Wonderful, Kyle takes us behind the wigs, accents, and absolute chaos to reveal the real artistry behind parody. We dive into the wild ride of going viral, crafting characters that stick, and what it really takes to write music that’s both hilarious and genuinely good. It’s a laugh-out-loud, unexpectedly heartfelt journey through comedy, creativity, and the beautiful absurdity of the internet.Episode Breakdown:0:00 - Intro & Catch Up4:20 - Welcome Kody Redwing!8:00 - Kody’s Childhood and family10:30 - Kody’s American Idol Experience13:00 - Comparisons to other “millennial” bands15:00 - Career Choices and their impact on family17:00 - Favorite versions of “Hallelujah”18:30 - What’s Next for Kyle20:00 - “Married in a Year in The Suburbs” collab22:10 - Welcome Kyle Gordon!23:00 - A Cappella Roots25:00 - Wardrobe Malfunction26:30 - Transitioning into Musical-Comedy27:45 - Music Background29:00 - Tiktok Beginnings33:00 - Kid Who’s No Fun36:00 - Brendan Abernathy Collab38:30 - Patterns of “Hate” on the Internet43:30 - DJ Crazy Times Controversy46:30 - Performing with the Jonas Brothers50:45 - Running into Joe Jonas in NYC53:00 - Jonathan and Paul McCartney54:30 - Kyle’s new album!1:00:20 - Game time!Follow Kyle Gordon:Listen to Kyle Gordon is Wonderful everywhere.Follow @kylegordonisgreat on social for all the sparkle.Follow the Hosts:@AnthonyGargiula@ JonathanTilkin@CounterMelodiesPod Listen and Watch:⁠https://pods.to/countermelodies⁠Credits:Executive Producer / Showrunner / Editor: Louis GargiulaConsulting Producer: Renée Colvert
