225. Honestly by Cartel
May 28, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBA few years back we said something regrettable about Cartel, so this week we try and set the record straight. Cartel is straight up one of the greatest bands alive, and everyone, including ourselves, has slept on them for way too long. From the sensible jeans to the dope riffs, the backwards drum sets to the final chorus (but slower), Cartel slays and we don’t give a freakin heck what your mom says. Put some respect on the name.

224. Starstrukk by 3OH!3 (feat. Katy Perry)
May 21, 2021 09:00 - 38 minutes - 35.7 MBThings in the scene started to take a turn around 2007. Punk went crunk, and for a while, there was no stopping it. However, some bands tried to ride the line between the two, and we think that no one did it better than 3OH!3. That’s not to say we enjoy 3OH!3, but they at least made the biggest waves. Resting somewhere between Attack! Attack! and Brokencyde, 3OH!3 made a space for themselves on the Warped Tour stage where they allegedly met and became close friends with Katy Perry of all p...
223. Pressure by Paramore
May 14, 2021 09:00 - 54 minutes - 50.2 MB2005 was possibly the best year ever for emo music. It certainly was the best year for Fueled by Ramen, as their roster graced us with several masterpieces like All We Know Is Falling. Pressure will remain one of the angstiest, most soul crushing songs in Paramore’s catalog, and even as grown men, it slays our souls. This week we cover the music video, Tom’s 2007 Warped Tour experience, long nights alone in your mom’s basement, bad jobs, and quitting bad jobs. BONUS EPISODES AND PHOT...
222. Who I Am Hates Who I've Been by Relient K
May 07, 2021 11:06 - 48 minutes - 44.4 MBWe at Reminiscent find that Relient K is often overlooked when discussing greatest acts in the genre from the early 2000s, so we are here once again to give them the praise they deserve. Who I Am Hates Who I’ve Been is an absolute banger of a song that is buried DEEP into Mmhmm at track 10 (or is it 11?), which hints at a level of confidence, as if Relient K knew that album was so good that folks would stick around to the end to hear the best track from the 2004 release. Not only is the so...
221. The 2005 Emo Madness Tournament
April 30, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 59.4 MBIn a showdown like no other, releases from the year 2005 battle to claim the title of best song of the year. We randomized a 64 competitor bracket and put songs head to head and it was messed up in every single way imaginable. We disagreed many steps along the way, but ultimately we worked together to crown the #1 song released in the year 2005. And the results may shock you, one of us almost DIED, and other YouTube and cringe-worthy hooks like that. BONUS EPISODES AND PHOTOS ON PATREON!...
220. All the Small Things by Blink-182
April 23, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBIt’s Tom’s birthday, so Pat is throwing him a bone and letting him talk about 1999’s All The Small Things by Blink-182. The biggest song that we’ve talked about to date at 5x platinum, Enema of the State shook the entire earth as well as Tom’s entire life. We reflect on how different Tom’s life could have been if he never discovered this album in his sister’s bedroom that an old friend left behind, and discuss all the spoofs in the iconic music video. BONUS EPISODES AND PHOTOS ON PATRE...
219. Scorchfest 2021: our Twitter followers give their hottest music takes
April 16, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBOver the past few weeks we’ve been receiving a lot of heat on Twitter for *checks notes, having opinions… So we asked you all, what are you hottest takes, what amazing opinions do you have that aren’t commonly agreed with. We then turned the tables and read all your terrible opinions on the show to take the head off ourselves for a minute. ScorchFest 2021 was a ton of fun and we’re super grateful to everyone who wrote in. The range of topics were wild. We hit on Machine Gun Kelly, Blink-18...
218. Mutiny! by Set Your Goals
April 09, 2021 09:00 - 47 minutes - 44 MB15 years ago Set Your Goals unleashed upon the world an absolute banger/battle cry/genuine revolt against the record industry with their breakout song and title track off their first full-length album “Mutiny!’. We talk a lot about bridges on this show, and you’d be hard pressed to find a better one than manifesto perfectly embedded in the middle of this track. It’s a total banger and while we wish Set Your Goals had a longer star studded career (and that one of us boarded the SYG train ea...
217. The Best Guitar Riffs of all Time Draft
April 02, 2021 09:00 - 1 hour - 59.1 MBPop Punk and Emo musicians aren’t necessarily known for their ability to shred their instruments ala Van Halen or Slash, but there are a large handful of songs from the decade that feature absolutely incredible riffs. This week we drafted our favorite riffs from our favorite pop punk and emo bands from the early 2000s and it gets heated IMMEDIATELY. To no one’s surprise, Tom tries to pick a song from the wrong decade and Pat plays some serious head games. BONUS EPISODES AND PHOTOS ON P...
216. Baby, You Wouldn't Last a Minute on the Creek by Chiodos
March 26, 2021 09:00 - 57 minutes - 53.4 MBThere was no living creature as foul as Chiodos, and all of their poems were… actually Shakespeare sonnets? Anyways, we’re here talking about Chiodos and there’s a whole lot to say about it. The screaming, the stabbing, the high pitched voices, the breakdowns, and the rumors floating around our high school that their name was pronounced Chiodos and not Chiodos. Get it straight people. On the surface, the music video for Baby, You Wouldn’t Last a Minute on the Creek is kind of nonsense, but...
215. Can't Stand It by Never Shout Never
March 19, 2021 09:00 - 57 minutes - 53.4 MBWith all the metalcore and neon era pop punk that happened in the early 2000’s, it’s easy to forget about the outliers that were actually a much bigger freakin deal than the bands we talk about week after week. One of those outliers (see also: mega successful solo artists) was Christopher Drew of nevershoutnever! Spawning a whole era of straight hair, hands in pockets, cutest cutesy boys, NSN wrote some super catchy songs that made their way into the hearts of many who then repressed the u...
214. This Ain't a Scene by Fall Out Boy
March 12, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 59.9 MBHot off the tail of the Dance, Dance music video, This Ain’t a Scene shows a whole different side of the story for Fall Out Boy. The boys experience fame, wealth, tabloids, fake bulges, scandals, and everyone’s dream of trashing a hotel room (except for Tom and Pat, they’re too post-catholic to handle that kind of guilt). But it turns out it kinda sucks? We think that’s the narrative of this 2 part music video? Either way, it’s a super fun ride that the guys break apart piece by piece whil...
213. Dance, Dance by Fall Out Boy
March 05, 2021 10:00 - 52 minutes - 48.8 MBIn a world where music videos are a dying art, a symbol of past generations, Fall Out Boy has managed to break the mold and put out absolutely incredible videos, see also: high-concept, cinematic masterpieces. Thanks Alan Ferguson! Dance, Dance saw CRAZY numbers across album sales and billboard charts (we’re talking All-American Rejects numbers here, people!), and possibly the greatest feather in this song’s cap is the ‘Jane Eyre’ adaptation performed in the music room by Tom and other mem...
212. Rock Bottom at the Renaissance, an Interview with Mike Henneberger: Emo Kid, Best- Selling Author, and Emmy Winning Producer and Journalist
February 26, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 95.6 MBMike Henneberger stops by to talk with the guys about some super heavy themes that are super present in all the songs and bands we talk about every week. Staples of the genre include depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and helplessness. I mean, it’s not called emo for nothing… 10 years ago, Mike spent a hopeless weekend in a downtown NYC hotel room and penned an autobiography on some of the worst days of his life and how they align with the lyrics of some of his favorite songs that he holds...
211. The Best Bass Lines of the Early 2000’s Draft
February 19, 2021 10:00 - 44 minutes - 41.4 MBFor all of about 2 weeks now, we’ve taken the strong position as a “pro bass guitar program”. This week, we’re putting our money where our mouth is. Finally, it’s time for someone to stand up against the current and loudly proclaim, “Give the bassist some!”, so we drafted the only 10 songs we could think of that had a standout bass line. Did that last sentence hurt or help our cause? And why do the show notes always switch back and forth from first and third-person perspectives? I don’t know...
210. Bedroom Talk by The Starting Line
February 12, 2021 10:00 - 44 minutes - 41.2 MBWhen tasked with the totally normal duty of coming up with a list of the horniest songs of all time (future episode?!), Bedroom Talk has got to be in the top few of all time, especially in the genre. In this week’s episode, the guys discuss the music video, the difference between Kenny’s video character and Kenny as a performer, which ear of hair (haera?) was the best for Kenny, Orange amplifiers, girls making the first move, Kenny throwing himself through every pixel of every frame, and hip...
209. Since U Been Gone by A Day To Remember (as made famous by Kelly Clarkson)
February 05, 2021 10:00 - 53 minutes - 49.2 MBA Day to Remember is one of those bands that so delicately danced between the lines of pop punk and beatdown hardcore, and it spurned lots of conversations and heated debates as to WHAT this band actually was. But in 2007, on some B-sides on a re-released album called For Those Who Have Heart, the band reminded as all that at the end of the day, almost everything is just pop when they released a BLAZIN’ cover of Kelly Clarkson’s Since U Been Gone. Not only did they expertly record a cover ...
208. The Best Album Openers of All Time, a Draft
January 29, 2021 10:00 - 56 minutes - 52.1 MBThere 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. BONUS EPISODES AND PHOTOS ON PATREON! Links: The Best Albums Openers of All Time on Apple Music The Best Albums Op...
207. First Date by Blink-182
January 22, 2021 10:00 - 54 minutes - 50.2 MBIn 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. Thi...
206. Dirty Little Secret by The All-American Rejects
January 15, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBIn 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”.

205. Girl All the Bad Guys Want by Bowling For Soup Killed Nu-Metal
January 08, 2021 10:00 - 54 minutes - 50.7 MBPat 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.

204. The Year 2005 Mixtape Draft
January 01, 2021 10:00 - 1 hour - 62.8 MB2005 marked the year that Pat and Tom started high school together, so the stakes for this draft are high and they agonize each and every pick. Every album in the world seemed to have come out this year so the guys played as strategically as possible to get their favorite songs on their team for this draft.

203. Christmas 2020 Ask Me Anything
December 25, 2020 10:00 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MBThis year has been really intense and difficult for many folks, so we’re closing it down with a fun episode. Every month in our Patreon we do a ~20 minute AMA video, and we decided to open it up to everybody this month. We asked our listeners for Christmas and holiday questions, and they didn’t disappoint! We talk about the best and worst Christmas gifts we’ve ever received, our favorite holiday movies and specials, favorite Christmas songs, novelty or otherwise. There’s a wild story about ...
202. 5 Pop Punk Christmas Songs that Zagged When Others Zigged
December 18, 2020 10:00 - 58 minutes - 54.4 MBSometime around 1999 it became illegal to be a band and not write an original Christmas song, and many of them decided to zag when others zigged. Leaving behind the sterotypical love-filled puke fest that captivated the minds and hearts of our parents and grandparents, our angst fueled generation decided instead to sing about isolation, betrayal, and murder. This week the guys discuss their 5 favorite Christmas zags in preparation for the holidays! BONUS EPISODES AND PHOTOS ON PATREON!...
201. Accidents by Alexisonfire
December 11, 2020 10:00 - 39 minutes - 36.2 MBAt some point in high school, Pat and Tom’s musical tastes started to diverge. Tom got into heavier music and Pat listened to a lot of Beck for a minute or something, but one thing they found common ground in Alexisonfire. While they can’t agree on whether or not this type of screaming is abrasive or not, they can both confirm this band absolutely rips, and the band acts the HELL out of this music video. Also, Tom has a new super rare mental illness. Something about fire halls. BONUS E...
200. An Oral History of our High School Band 4 Under Par
December 04, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 55.7 MBAfter 4 crazy years of learning what it means to be a “two white guys talking” podcast, episode 200 is among us. The guys take a week to celebrate the show by discussing how their friendship started, by writing music together as pre-pubescent 8th graders. Music has always been a crazy important part of their lives, so this episode offers a look back to what was going on when these songs, albums, and music videos cemented themselves in our hearts forever.

199. The Scrubs Soundtrack Mixtape Draft
November 27, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 59.3 MBEarly on in this podcast, the guys fumbled their way through what was meant to be a very heartful episode about their love for the TV show Scrubs. As with most episodes in the first 2 years, it was pretty bad, so this week is a redemption episode. The guys take turns drafting their 5 favorite songs that appeared in the original broadcasting of Scrubs while taking some time to discuss how they reacted to these moments as teens and how it continues to make them feel today. Make sure to strea...
198. In Too Deep by Sum 41
November 20, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 55.4 MBDeep into the era of “fart punk”, Sum 41 released a music video unlike no other, as they are known to do. Borrowing heavily from Rodney Dangerfield’s classic “Back to School”, the band takes to a diving competition against some stereotypical jocks and manage to claim a W despite their antics. The guys look back on their days in a high school band trying to quickly learn the song before a show maybe 12 people showed up to, skipping their last day of high school for an epic slip-n-slide part...
197. Check Yes Juliet by We The Kings
November 13, 2020 10:00 - 46 minutes - 42.9 MBCheck Yes Juliet seems to be a song everybody knew from a band that nobody could remember. It made its way onto the airwaves and embedded itself deeply into the near-forgotten memories of most high schoolers in the early aughts. Still, the career of We The Kings never took off for some reason. In this episode, the guys break down the way the band was perceived in their high school, they both have mad hair envy, Pat attempts to throw a rock at a girl’s window but couldn't find one, so he ju...
196. The Get Your Booty on the Dance Floor Mixtape Draft
November 06, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 63.3 MBAs tensions run high and there are more reasons to lie on the floor in despair than ever (maybe? this is being written on 11/4???) a listener asks us to lift the vibe a bit with a draft of songs that make us want to shake our tail feathers. While there’s some discussion around what constitutes as “dancing”, and whether or not any song in this genre make one move in a way that can be officially described as “dancing”, these bangers are sure to make you want to move in some way… BONUS EP...
195. A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me" by Fall Out Boy
October 30, 2020 09:00 - 45 minutes - 42.2 MBHappy Halloween everyone! This week we came across one of the strangest, most outlandish, most theatrical, and most fun music videos we’ve ever discussed. The line time is as long as the song name and features damn near every member on the Fueled by Ramen roster. Fall Out Boy really swung for the fences in their dramatic vampire short film that has absolutely nothing to do with the theme of the song, but the payoff was huge. This is truly a work of art, directed by the great Alan Furgeson,...
194. Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day
October 23, 2020 09:00 - 51 minutes - 47.5 MBWhile Wake Me Up When September Ends was originally written in remembrance of Bill Joe’s father, the sheer reach and gravity of the song allowed for many different interpretations. The one that Green Day really seemed to run with was the 9/11 theme, and holy hell did they lean in for the music video. This thing is over 7 minutes long people, with nearly 4 minutes of dialogue embedded in the video. It’s a big one, but allow Tom to lighten the mood a bit with a weird outdoor sex story. B...
193. Punk Rock Princess by Something Corporate
October 16, 2020 09:00 - 48 minutes - 45.3 MBListen people.. We’ve got long flowing hair, we’ve got aviator sunglasses, we’ve got Fu Manchus, we’ve got thong sandals, collars under sweaters, suburban goths, eyebrow rings, and one absolute hell of a chorus. Nothing that happens in this video matters as much as how absolutely insane this song is. The guys talk about the banger of a chorus that is ‘Punk Rock Princess’, the beautiful message of the video, polite Mid-Western ways to describe sandals, and Easter Sunday in a Norma Jean shirt....
192. In The End by Linkin Park
October 09, 2020 09:00 - 55 minutes - 51.2 MBIf you were an edgy 12-year-old growing up in a depressed former steel town in rust belt Pennsylvania in the early 2000s, you probably listened to a lot of Linkin Park. Hell, if you were alive in any capacity in the early 2000s, you probably listened to a lot of Linkin Park, whether by choice or as a victim of terrestrial radio. When Hybrid Theory dropped in 2000, In The End just kind of took over the airwaves, and seemingly continued to do so for at least another 4 years. Middle school ba...
191. I'm Just a Kid by Simple Plan
October 02, 2020 09:00 - 48 minutes - 44.7 MBSimple Plan was really on to something when they wrote I’m Just a Kid almost 20 years ago. If we’re being honest, we’re 29 and our lives still feel like a nightmare most days. The guys take some time to discuss how they resonated with this song back in the day, how they perpetually feel like dumb, lost kids, the movie New Guy, long pinchy sunglasses, writing on a rock that made the neighbor/child therapist very concerned, and Pat introduced a new game, but at the time of writing these show n...
190. Sk8er Boi by Avril Lavigne
September 25, 2020 09:00 - 52 minutes - 48.6 MBAs far as early internet era guerrilla marketing efforts go, there are few as intricate and successful as Avril Lavigne’s impromptu street performance (and possible murder?) that takes place in the Sk8er Boi music video. The second she sat down in that chair, the entire world changed, never to be the same. This week the guys discuss the insanity that is this video, the spelling of the song itself, and Avril’s profound impact on our immediate families and the scene as a whole. BONUS EPI...
189. So Wrong, It's Right by All Time Low (feat. Jeremie of The Vinyl Countdown)
September 18, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 70.8 MBJeremie Lavigne of The Vinyl Countdown podcast joins us this week to discuss the endlessly poppy, fun, and oftentimes confusing album “So Wrong, It’s Right” by All Time Low. Pat ponders a mega album of ATL’s first 2 mainstream releases, Jeremie disses the only thing Tom has ever loved, Tom laughs it off like it didn’t cut him to the core. and all 3 end up having a pretty nice time together.

188. Such Great Heights by The Postal Service
September 11, 2020 09:00 - 52 minutes - 48.2 MBThe Postal Service occupies a very unique corner of the emo-verse of the early 2000s. Such Great Heights was a song that dominated airwaves in the early aughts, and still to this day remains a cult classic for white dudes approaching 30 with music commentary podcasts. The story of how the album came about, controversy surrounding the music video, lawsuits and eventual partnerships with the USPS, music video storyline (or lack thereof), and drama with Apple and Intel are discussed at length, ...

The most anticipated draft ever done on this show, the “Lying on the Floor in Existential Despair Mixtape Draft”. Deep into quarantine, things are getting heavy, and we needed a playlist that properly evoked the emotion in our cold dead hearts. Here you go. BONUS EPISODES AND PHOTOS ON PATREON!

186. Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous by Good Charlotte
August 28, 2020 09:00 - 50 minutes - 47 MBGood Charlotte released Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous in 2002 and the world hasn’t been the same since. Well, that’s not all true. Actually, almost everything is the same, unfortunately. It took us nearly 20 years to really understand which this song was about. appreciate the body count in the second verse, and truly love the mayhem that is the music video. From surprise appearances by Chris Kirkpartrick, Kyle Gass, a cute dog, and a shocking number of focus grouped punk motifs, this music...
185. Ocean Avenue (the album) by Yellowcard
August 21, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 76.4 MBOcean Avenue is a crazy good record. So good I can’t believe it took this long to get to it. From the best run of 3 songs in pop punk history, to one of the greatest album closers, Ocean Avenue as a record has a ton to offer just about anyone. The guys talk about how they first came across the album, whether or not Yellowcard would be as famous as they were without the violin, there’s a weird Italian Sportscaster bit that happened by accident, and the listeners have a ton to say about Yell...
184. Jamie All Over by Mayday Parade
August 14, 2020 09:00 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MBWhile the guys may have been too afraid to admit “A Lesson in Romantics” was one of their favorite albums in high school, it totally was. This week they try to discuss this banger of an album opener, but an explosive laugh derails the whole episode pretty soon into the show. They fumble their way through the perception of this band in 2007, a sister discovering this album on an iPod and giving the ribbing of a lifetime, and long drives to nearby places that were made even more special by the...
183. Here (In Your Arms) by Hellogoodbye
August 07, 2020 09:00 - 48 minutes - 45.2 MBThe guys head back to the year 2005 with the “cutesy electronica” banger Here (In Your Arms) by Hellogoodbye. The song rips, the music video pays great homage to Wet Hot American Summer, and everyone thought about pogs for the first time since 1998. The guys also announce they are officially an anti-peanut butter podcast. BONUS EPISODES AND PHOTOS ON PATREON!

181. So Much Love by The Rocket Summer
July 24, 2020 09:00 - 44 minutes - 40.9 MBOne song to rule them all, one song to find them, one song to bring them all, and in the Church of Bryce bind them. That’s how we feel about So Much Love by the Rocket Summer. The ultimate unifier, the answer to peace on Earth, and one of the best songs ever written? Not only is the song itself a force to be reckoned with, having been written and recorded entirely by ONE man, but the music video is truly a visual representation of how this song makes us feel. Continuing to ride the hype trai...
180. Whoa Oh! (Me vs Everyone) by Forever the Sickest Kids
July 17, 2020 09:00 - 49 minutes - 45.4 MB2008 saw the release of some very poppy, very catchy acts in the pop scene, but not many as poppy or as catchy as Underdog Alma Mater by Forever the Sickest Kids. This album consisted of some pretty intense dance beats, killer half time vibes, and absolute bangers of choruses. Whoa Oh! (Me vs Everyone) sets the record off at a break neck pace which can be further amplified by the intensity and carefree nature of the music video. This week the guys discuss their perception of the band when th...
179. I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie
July 10, 2020 09:00 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MBBen Gibbard has lead our fragile minds to ponder many heavy topics over time, dating back to our teenage years. Possibly none more than the music video for I Will Follow You Into the Dark, which aims to makes sense of the fear and unknown realities surrounding death. This week hit pretty hard as a recent tragedy took place between the times of recording and editing this episode, but we’re trying to use it for good. Take this time to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you, because y...
178. We Don't Need to Whisper by Angels & Airwaves, Ranked
July 03, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 89.3 MBThe Blink-182 family tree saw a huge growth to it’s branch system when Tom DeLonge released the first full length album “We Don’t Need to Whisper” with Angels & Airwaves in 2006.
