Daddy and daddy have been away for a few months, and we’re very sorry that we left you all alone with the babysitter, a terrible April Fool’s joke of an episode. So we’re popping in real quick with a…

This episode was published on April 1, 2022, originally titled "All That I've Got by The Used" as an April Fool's joke. Since we later went ahead and published a real The Used episode, we changed the…

You know those moments in your life where you know you’re going to come away from that moment a completely different person? That’s what hearing 99 Red Balloons for the first time was for us. It’s th…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends! As many as you may know or have guessed by now, we’re both hella Irish, so we’re happy to talk about the most Irish song we know, Drunken Lullabies by Flogging Molly…

Way too much time has gone by without screaming at everyone about how much we absolutely love Less Than Jake. Not only have they been cranking out some of the best music we’ve ever heard since the ea…

it’s no secret that Mayday Parade is one of our favorite bands of all time, but we’re super guilty of only talking about their debut album A Lesson in Romantics. It seems like the rest of the world m…

No early 2000’s podcast is complete without a Michelle Branch episode, because that woman was everywhere, much pun intended. And she wasn’t even a woman yet, she was like 15, taking the entire planet…

It’s no secret that Hoobastank’s music video for The Reason is our favorite heist movie ever, but it recently came to our attention that there’s a sequel! Hooba picks up right where they left off and…

There are few things as magical as a debut that absolutely takes over the world, whether that’s the literal world with platinum status or the self-centered, tiny bubble of a world we were living in w…

The announcement of the When We Were Young Festival will be one of those moments we look back on in 20 years that are paired with a “where were you when"?" The millisecond that flyer hit Twitter, eve…

With the new year upon us, we’ve decided to finally discuss the only song that has ever made sense to discuss on the last week of the year, The New Year by Death Cab For Cutie. Gibbard and the boys h…

For the first time in 5 years, we record an episode LIVE in front of a virtual studio audience! Pat watched a super long documentary about The Beatles, Tom definitely does not, they both start new Ch…
