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.

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!

The guys take a DEEP dive into Tom DeLonge (Former singer/guitarist of Blink-182's) new aerospace and entertainment company, To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science. Tom thinks he has potential to totally change the course of history as he helps the human species shift their understanding of what intelligent life means, and Pat is curiously hopeful for what may come if it. And as Ron Carnage is being written, new opportunities for merchandising arise, and it is immediately validated by a friend and listener of the show.
"We did this, [...] truthfully, to define a future, and not be victim to one".
-Tom DeLonge
