In this very self-serving episode, the guys discuss how far the show has come since the beginning of last year. They also reflect on how far their own lives have come since early 2018, and line up all their goals for 2019.

The music video for Stacy’s Mom is problematic at best, and the guys get down to the bottom of it. There’s a lot of speculation over what Stacy’s mother does for work, if the young boy is running a reputable landscaping company or just filling in for a few mows, and whether or not Stacy herself is deserving of his love. Adam Schlesinger strikes again in this hit single from the early 2000s.

The Sum 41 special is finally here, and its dedicated it in it’s entirety to Amanda. If you’re anyone other than the Queen herself, please stop reading now. The guys can’t help but compare Sum 41 to Blink-182, which leads to a lengthy discussion on can they be compared, and more importantly, SHOULD they be compared. They then blew open a conspiracy about the bedrock in Ajax, Ontario possibly being too high to support inground pools, leading Zach to believe that the music video for In Too Deep was shot out of the country, and if true, can the band be trusted? Are they even Canadian? Who am I?

The Click Five was an anomaly that needed to be discussed on this show at some point. The research from this episode lead the guys to the discovery of a legendary song writer Adam Schlesinger, a hero from the early 2000s who’s had a strong hand in several of our favorite songs from the era. The episode gets really fun with an embarrassingly in depth analysis of the music video, as well as the lyrics for the breakout (and only) hit, Just the Girl.

Everyone's taste in music changed over time, and the guys sat down today to map out their musical journey, starting with their very first favorite song, and how preference adapted and got more sophisticated as they aged. They also discuss the question that’s on a lot of twenty-something’s minds these days, is it okay to not emotionally attach to music like you used to? All of that after a quick recap of Thinkercon in Huntsville, Alabama.

The long anticipated Paramore episode is finally here, and it’s the first episode of the newly rebranded podcast. The guys dive into their past, how their albums have changed over time, the first time they listened to their music, and how the experience has changed over time. Tom digs a little bit into controversy over Misery Business, and fumbles through some of the issues with toxic masculinity in the pop punk scene.

In the most reminiscent of Reminiscent episodes, and the final show before the rebrand, Tom, Pat, and Zach take a deep dive into what it was like growing up in a small town’s booming music scene in the early 2000s. Tight pants, straight hair, and infinite breakdowns ruled everything around their playful pop punk band, but they stuck with it for 5 years and have loads of stories to tell.

In this special episode, Sam Pura, the owner and chief engineer at The Panda Studios, and long-time producer of The Story So Far’s records joins Tom for a really interesting conversation about all that went in to the making of their latest album, Proper Dose. The conversation covered a lot of ground, from the struggles that went into making the record, some really amazing and out-of-the-box recording techniques, the unfortunate crime that is audio engineering school, and maybe a Beatles joke or two.

Proper Dose is available now!

Tom missed his favorite band when they came through town last week, and it leads to a conversation about a weird and transitional time in a bands career where their success lands them in a weird place for fans who've been with them from the beginning. Tom tries to not sound like a hipster, Pat tells him he does, and the guys from Oh, Canada drop in to celebrate Civic Holiday.

Taking Back Sunday and their 2 hit albums Tell All Your Friends and Where You Want to be are the main topic of discussion this week, and as you probably could have guessed, the guys can't agree on which album is better. Some wild fan theories are discussed, including one of Tom's mom's (not a fan), and both recount some pivotal moments in their lives and the role that this band played.

One of the greatest boy bands of all time *NSYNC is the main topic of discussion this week. The guys give their usual fun facts, recount stories of when they first heard of the band, and the long disputed feud of Backstreet Boys vs. *NSYNC. Pat brings a wild theory to the table of the power struggle between JC and JT, and how it affected positioning in music videos and wild hair-dos. The guys then discuss their most popular music videos, and close it out with some more last minute wedding talk. 

Tweet at the show to let us know if you were/are team Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC. And if you're team O-town or 98degrees, just keep that to yourselves.

The guys do a full breakdown of My Chemical Romances first huge hit, I'm Not Okay off of their second studio album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. The song holds a special place in the guys' hearts, and they give some insight as to where their lives were when they first heard it. The guys then decide to cast the theoretical movie on which the music video is based.

The guys talk at great length about the 1997 pop banger "Mmmbop" by Hanson. They both share stories about what moment in time the songs makes them think about, whether or not it's actually a good song, and break down the lyrics, undeservedly, to a microscopic level. Also, Pat got engaged over the weekend, so that's cool!
