The bracket is live, the stakes have never been higher, and the path to the 2026 title begins right here. Welcome to the first qualifier of the 7th Annual Shitty Song of the Year tournament.

It’s a bloodbath of bad production, questionable lyrics, and sonic disasters as Red and Jodie return to the helm to navigate the wreckage. But they aren't doing it alone—joining the panel this week are special guests Kate from The Boomer Bunker and the one and only Bobby Booshay.

We’re kicking off the "bracket style" elimination process, analyzing the first round of contenders, and deciding who deserves a spot in the finals and who belongs in the bargain bin of history. Expect sharp critiques, heated debate, and the kind of musical autopsy only Red and Jodie and their rogue's gallery of judges can provide.

Buckle up. The road to the crown is officially open.

Here's a little something to hold you over while you wait for the 1st Qualifier of 2026, a FREE Hidden Track episode straight from the Patreon!!!

Back in February, Red and Jodie listened to a barely known Chris Stapleton album under "The Jompson Brothers" moniker. You tell us, whether or not you think this album is about his wiener or not...

This week, Jodie and Red are joined by John Jamingo for a WILDCARD episode that's not so wild.

Can a stupid song that makes you spell stuff beat a song that's mildly racist and yells at you for no reason? YOU be the JUDGE!

John Mellencamp - R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.

VS

Bruce Springsteen - Crush on You
