There are few more important artforms than that of creating a perfect tracklist for an album, and no position is more important than the opening track. This week, the guys draft their favorite album openers from the years 2000-2010 under a list of STRICT rules (just kidding, it’s only like 2), and comfortable shoes have an important message for Machine Gun Kelly.

In 2001, Blink-182 released an outrageous music video that the guys have enjoyed more than most others for 20 years, then fumble through every twist and turn of talking about it this week. First Date is an exercise in how much of a leash Tom will run with before it totally breaks, and how far Mark will let it go before he shoves him off screen, or into a ditch. This is such an incredible music video and the guys take some time to dissect every scene to find out what makes this so great. This is the worst episode description ever. Terribly sorry everyone. Just listen to the episode… Or don’t. I’m not your daddy.

In the music video for The All-American Reject’s ‘Dirty Little Secret’, we see many individuals holding up postcards putting their own dirty little secrets on display. The guys discuss ALL 36 dirty little secret, try to figure out if clean big secrets exist, or dirty large secrets for that matter, Tom admits to committing corporate crime and peeing in a sink, among other nefarious acts, and Pat explores the lives of “Big TIME” and “dirty dirty”.

Pat plays a show with a guitar pick made from a Chuck E. Cheese employee badge, Tom has a nickname for 7th graders, Pat was called a poser, Tom’s wears plaid shorts and his crush let him borrow her CD player where he was introduced to the songs Get Busy (Shake That Thing) by Sean Paul and Girl All The Bad Guys Want by Bowling For Soup, which single-handedly dismantled Nu-Metal.
