175. The Great Escape by Boys Like Girls
June 11, 2020 17:32 - 46 minutes - 43 MBThere are few feelings more visceral to a teenager than the desire to pack a a 1981 Honda Civic full of Doritos Cool Ranch, Mountain Dew, and trail mix and hit the road with your best friends, not knowing where you’re going but leaving this god forsaken town in your rear view mirror. The Great Escape by Boys Like Girls captures that feeling almost perfectly, but so many people were afraid to absolutely admit they LOVED this song. They loved it so much that the ringtone, the RINGTONE was cert...
174. I Write Sins Not Tragedies by Panic! At The Disco
June 05, 2020 09:00 - 51 minutes - 47.8 MBPanic! At the Disco dropped their debut album “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” in late 2005 and kind of took the entire world by storm. At that time, the whole circus freak vibe wasn’t super mainstream (was it ever?) and music THAT catchy wasn’t often heard side by side with such outlandish imagery. However, Panic! had just the right amount of something that made them a massive success. This week the guys take a look back at the first time they heard the big single “I Write Sins Not Tragedies”,...
173. The Midnight Anger Walk Mixtape Draft
May 29, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 59.7 MBIt’s no secret that teenagers feel feel every emotion with the intensity of a thousand suns. Maybe your mom took your PS1 away because you threw your pizza rolls at your little sister for telling your crush that you write her name over and over in your college ruled notebook, maybe you drank the last of your big brother’s Sunny D and he held you down and gave you charley horses until you cried, maybe your dad just told you your aunt is moving in and your band that’s “just about to make it bi...
172. Helena by My Chemical Romance
May 22, 2020 09:00 - 48 minutes - 44.6 MBHelena is one of those songs you need to listen to in your underwear on the kitchen floor as you feel the full force of gravity pulling you closer to the center of the Earth. Every millisecond of this song is packed with so much emotion it’s taken every bit of the 16 years we’ve had with it to feel the full weight of this tune. This week the guys break down the music video scene for scene and do their best to appreciate every frame of it’s incredible story and performance. A lot went into ...
171. Your Favorite Weapon by Brand New
May 15, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 73.3 MBYour Favorite Weapon is a really unique album in Brand New’s discography, and it holds a lot of great tunes within. A far cry from their later work, this pop punk record remains a favorite for many Brand New fans including Tom and Pat. Many of these songs still hold many great and terrible memories within, and they’re all revealed within this episode! From bad relationships, romances that never were, radical teen angst, and long nights in Tom’s mom’s basement trying to figure out how to wr...
170. The Year 2004 Mixtape Draft
May 08, 2020 09:00 - 55 minutes - 51.3 MB2004 is not only a great year for all the amazing albums that were released, but it’s also the year Tom and Pat met in 8th grade. This week’s draft is full of tons of great memories from when the guys were living their best lives as care-free teens. But things get a little heated as they end up competing for the same tunes from their favorite albums of all time. BONUS EPIOSDES AND PHOTOS ON PATREON!

169. Detroit by Fireworks
May 01, 2020 09:00Every now and then you’ll come across a song that was written for you and you alone. Nothing has ever made more sense than the lyrics, the vibe is tuned just to your frequency, and the emotions hit like a ton of bricks. Detroit by Fireworks is one of those songs for Tom. The angst was high through the summers of 2009 and 2010, and Fireworks, a pair of headphones, and a fixed gear bike helped make sense of the world. This episode is full of nostalgic tales of midnight rides, anger walks after...

168. Cute Without the E by Taking Back Sunday, the Music Video
April 24, 2020 09:00 - 39 minutes - 36.6 MBCute Without the E (Cut From The Team) is probably one of the first songs one would pull out of their brain when trying to name any Taking Back Sunday song they screamed at the top of their lungs throughout the entirety of their high school career. It’s one of the most raw, powerful, and angsty songs in their entire catalog! This week the guys rewatched Fight Club in an attempt to better appreciate how flawlessly the band recreated the movie, managing to condense the entire narrative into th...
167. The Weezer Mixtape Draft (2000-2010)
April 17, 2020 09:00 - 50 minutes - 46.4 MBPat’s dreams have come true and he finally got his solo Weezer episode he has been begging for for over 3 years. Pat goes (mostly) solo to battle himself in the most episode 2000-2010 Weezer mixtape draft ever conducted. Trust us, there’s been many attempts. BONUS EPIOSDES AND PHOTOS ON PATREON!

166. Adam Schlesinger: The King of Power Pop
April 10, 2020 09:00 - 56 minutes - 52.6 MBOne of the greatest moments in this show’s history is when we realized Adam Schlesinger wrote an absolute TON of songs we’ve enjoyed over the years. Adam was extremely prolific in his career as a song writer for multiple Grammy winning and nominated bands, in addition to TV and film, and he even claimed a Tony win for the writing of Cry Baby on Broadway. We swore to ourselves we would have Adam on the show some day, but on April 1st he passed away. We were both pretty devastated from the n...
165. Say Anything's Self-Titled Album, Track by Track
April 03, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 74 MBThere are few albums that can fully encompass how it feels to be an adolescent, a teen, and a young adult all in 13 songs. Max Bemis eloquently weaves together the complex emotions of what it means to feel in love, to want to die, and absolutely eviscerates his enemies with words they couldn’t possibly understand. In this episode, the guys go song by song and share their favorite moments in the track, and go in depth on the emotions and memories attached to each. They then try to rank the ...
164. The Curse of Curves by Cute is What We Aim For
March 27, 2020 09:00 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MBHow was such a great song paired with such a misguided music video? Pat and Tom make an attempt to break down all that went wrong in the music video for The Curse of Curves, but there’s almost nothing to even say. There’s a lot of hair, no food, the most awkward glances you’ve ever seen in your life, and poison that has the ability to throw you backwards in your chair. Exactly no more and no less in this video, but Tom’s wife suggests a shocking alternative ending that may have shaken things...
163. All Downhill From Here by New Found Glory, the Music Video
March 20, 2020 09:00 - 49 minutes - 46.1 MBIf you were to ask 1,000 people what the weirdest video in pop punk is, 1,001 people would respond with All Downhill From Here because Bob is a cheater and he voted twice. The guys do their best to develop the backstory for who these creatures are in the video. who made them, why they’re there, and what does the socio-economic class structure look like for this diverse group of monsters. French animators and music video director Meiert Avis created an extraordinarily insane music video tha...
162. Best Cover Songs from the Early 2000's, a Draft
March 13, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 63.3 MBThere are a lot of things to love about the early 2000s, but the cover songs are really where the decade shined the brightest. Not entirely thanks to the Pop Goes… series, but many bands seemed to indulge themselves in rethinking classics 80s and 90s songs and ushering them into a new era. This week the guys draft their top 10 covers that were released between the years 2000 and 2010, and you’ll never guess what happens next!!! Or maybe you can. They fight, disagree, and drag some songs thro...
161. Dear Maria, Count Me In by All Time Low Made Us Steal a Car
March 06, 2020 10:00 - 58 minutes - 53.8 MBAttempts were made to discuss the music video for Dear Maria, Count Me In at length, but the episode quickly corrected course into an insane road trip Pat and Tom took in 2008 using a fake All Time Low and Brand New concert in Pittsburgh as an alibi to take Pat’s Mom’s car for 24 hours. However, the guys never had any intention on going to Pittsburgh, instead ending up hundreds of miles away to see a girl in Central Pennsylvania who ended up not being home. Already 300 miles beyond where the...
160. Sugar, We're Goin Down by Fall Out Boy, the Music Video
February 28, 2020 10:00 - 58 minutes - 54.3 MBThe year is 2005, and pop punk is taking over the radio waves. The guitars are heavy, the bass is thrashing, and the lyrics are coming atcha fast. At the center of all of this was Fall Out Boy with the massive hit ‘Sugar We’re Goin Down’. Even the kids in our high school who didn’t like rock were singing this in the hallways. It was everywhere. It’s the song that turned Tom and Pat’s high school band into what it was, and if there’s anything that’s better than this song, it’s most definitely...
159. Rise or Die Trying by Four Year Strong
February 21, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 65.7 MBRise or Die Trying is another one of those albums that we should all feel lucky happened in our lifetime. It’s truly 1 in a billion. To have so much happiness, poppiness, and brutal breakdownness all in 1 album is still mind bending to this day. We had never heard anything like it at the time, causing a massive shift in the landscape of pop punk moving forward. Pat and Tom take their time appreciating every song on this album for the subtleties that made each track unique and interesting. ...
158. Valentine's Day Pop Punk Mixtape Draft
February 14, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 65.5 MBThe year is 2006, you’re crushing on that cutie from homeroom, and you don’t know how to tell her how you feel. What do you do? You make her a mixtape that will let her know all the things you wish you could put into words. But you chicken out. You don’t give her the CD, but instead listen to it yourself as you notice all those things she does that make you feel brand new. This week, the guys drafted the songs they would put on that mixtape, were this the year 2006 and they were crushing on ...
157. Gives You Hell by The All American Rejects
February 07, 2020 10:00 - 59 minutes - 55.2 MBGives You Hell by The All American Rejects is a multi-platinum masterpiece that swept the world for what felt like years, but there’s SO much to appreciate about this song that we had to take the track piece by piece, and the music video frame by frame. There’s a lot to love about this song that almost didn’t even make it on to the record because the band had such little confidence in it. The music video could easily warrant a 20,000 word thesis, but I’ve got like 1,000 characters so let’s...
156. The Upsides by The Wonder Years, 10 Years Later
January 31, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 90.9 MBThe late aughts were a time of reveling in self pity, doubt, and/or hatred. But one band was vulnerable enough to stand up and say, hey, maybe we can get ourselves out of this mess. This band was The Wonder Years, and the album that changed it all was The Upsides. This record came out when we seemed to need it the most. We were just started college, getting our first taste of homesickness, and were just starting to seriously doubt our choices and the integrity of the futures we were starti...
155. All We Know Is Falling by Paramore
January 24, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 64.7 MBWith Hayley Williams dropping her brand new solo effort “Simmer” just days ago, we felt inspired to take a look back at the very beginning of Hayley Williams career as one of the most iconic and influential front-women in rock history. After the release of ‘Riot’ in 2007, the band experienced a meteoric rise to fame, and they brought their debut album ‘All We Know is Falling’ along with them. The guys both had a hard time getting through this album, because it cuts so deep on so many level...
154. Alive with the Glory of Love by Say Anything
January 17, 2020 10:00 - 50 minutes - 47.9 MBSay Anything is a band that deserves way more love and respect than they got, and probably even more than we were able to give them on this episode. Alive With the Glory of Love was culturally an important song, not just because Tom skanked to it at his wedding in 2018, but primarily for the way it was used in Scrubs to emphasize one of the most pivotal moments on the show (check out our blog post below!) Somehow Say Anything has managed to keep itself from most people’s Mount Rushmore’s o...
153. Commit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack, Ranked
January 10, 2020 10:00 - 58 minutes - 53.7 MBCommit This to Memory is an album that shook our 14 year old souls when it first came out, or in Tom’s case, just a year or two later. Having been introduced to this band by 2 kids that Pat and Tom looked up to for musical advice, this album was destined to make waves all 15 years since it’s release, with no sign of stopping in sight. The guys play this dumb game they both hate where they try to rank the songs from worst to best, and ultimately they decide every song is great and they woul...
152. The 2020 New Year Resolutions and Goals Episode
January 03, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 68.5 MBBest friend Zach drops in to accompany the guys on their usual New Year goals episode. As everyone approaches 30, there’s some big life changes about to take place (did someone say kids?!), and 2020 will surely be a huge year of growth. The guys reflect on their goals for 2019 and how they did, and look forward to what they hope to accomplish in this new year. Links: Ron Carnage: The Thinker Boy Buy Reminiscent T-shirts!

151. The Hella Mega Tour Setlist Draft
December 27, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 65.1 MBGreen Day, Weezer, and Fall Out Boy are gearing up to hit the stage in a massive tour that is somewhat reminiscent of massive stadium tours of generations passed. While the guys are probably not going to be in attendance, both draft the 10 songs they’d like to hear the most. Bonus history lesson on Weezer’s Pinkerton, as it’s Pat’s first opportunity in 150+ episodes to talk about his favorite band.

150. Give Up by The Postal Service
December 20, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 60.1 MBIf you’re gonna talk about sad boy, hall of fame albums, you won’t get very far without coming across ‘Give Up’ by The Postal Service. Somehow 150 episodes have gone by without the attention it deserves. The band released 1 single platinum album in the early 2000s, and while one of the guys didn’t take to it immediately, it ended up rattling both of their worlds for years to come. As some sad dudes from the (kinda) mid-west, there was just nothing better than this album, and while each son...
149. Ever So Sweet v. Hey There Delilah (feat. MySpace)
December 13, 2019 10:00 - 54 minutes - 50.1 MBWhen you’re thinking of classic sad boy acoustic jams from the early to mid 2000s, Ever So Sweet by The Early November and Hey There Delilah by Plain White T’s surely come to mind. The guys sift through why Hey There Delilah was such a greater commercial success, what attributed to that success, and what Ever So Sweet was missing that kept it from taking over the world in the same way.

148. The Christmas Mixtape Draft
December 06, 2019 10:00 - 54 minutes - 50.1 MBEvery band in the world takes a crack at writing a several overdone cover of a classic Christmas song.

November 29, 2019 10:00 - 48 minutes - 44.8 MB5 year have passed since Jimmy Eat World released their 4th studio album ‘Futures’, and somehow the guys are just now finding out about it.

146. The Academy Is... Trivia Game Show
November 22, 2019 10:00 - 43 minutes - 40.2 MBPer listener request, the guys take a stab at a The Academy Is… episode. The only problem is, neither of them know the band very well, so Pat creates a game show and quizzes Tom’s knowledge of the band (which is again zero). Tom is very confused, gets fixated on Charles Manson, and sings a lot. He also made a song with his feet and his bare butt. For real… Links: Check out our new line of merch! Unisex and women’s tees!

145. 15 Years of Relient K's Mmhmm, a Vaguely Christian Masterpiece
November 15, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 57.1 MBRelient K’s vaguely christian breakout 4th album ‘Mmhmm’ stirred a lot of conversation back in the early 2000s, just as it did this week. The guys discuss the christian undertones of the band, whether it hurt or helped their perception as a band that definitely knew how to rock just as hard as the rest of them, and the guys each pick their favorite banger and their favorite sleeper tune.

144. The My Chemical Romance Reunion Tour Dream Setlist
November 08, 2019 10:00 - 59 minutes - 54.8 MBWith the breaking news of My Chemical Romance’s reunion show, the guys take a stab at putting together their dream set list for the show in LA. This all then begs the question, does knowing the setlist before the show cheapen the experience, are encores wack, dumb, and unsophisticated, and Tom tells a story of when he was held hostage during 5 encores at the Zelda symphony. Yeah, you read that right… Links: Nominate us for an award! My Chemical Romance Reunion Show The MCR “I’m...
143. The Year 2003 Mixtape Draft

142. Ohio is for Lovers by Hawthorne Heights: The Emo Anthem
October 25, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 55.6 MBOften described as “the emo anthem”, Hawthorne Height’s single Ohio is for Lovers played a very important role in the culture of the early 2000’s emo scene. The guys speculate on what it is about Ohio that makes people write such sad music, if writing so candidly about sensitive topics such as depression, self-harm, and suicide ended up being a good thing for teens to become immersed in, and about the VFW energy that Hawthorne Heights managed to bring to their many live on television appeara...
141. She Hates Me by Puddle of Mudd
October 18, 2019 09:00 - 53 minutes - 49.2 MBShe Hates Me may be regarded as the last viral, word of mouth song that’s ever existed. Tom and Pat recall schoolyard talk about a song that’s an absolute bop, but also like, swears a whole lot! It blew their 10 year old minds, even if they couldn’t fully relate to the relationship-gone-stale storyline of the song. All things considered, this song is an absolute banger (in the vacuum of melody, music, and ability to scream the chorus with a group of friends), and the video is just the cher...
140. Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus
October 11, 2019 09:00 - 55 minutes - 50.4 MBLet’s face it, Teenage Dirtbag is the best loser anthem of all time, and possibly one of the best songs of the 2000s. That statement alone sums up the entirety of this episode, but we all know the Google algorithm rewards verbosity, so here we go. The guys discuss the first time they heard the song, which was a decade too late, and how the band’s sincerity and dedication to doing exactly what the frick they want screams “punk” more than most skids could ever hope to amount to. ...
139. 15 Years of Hot Fuss by The Killers, If It Pleases the Court

The rules are simple, no one cares about anything and you always speak the first thing that comes to your mind.

138. The Reason by Hoobastank
September 27, 2019 09:00 - 51 minutes - 47.3 MBNot a single soul alive today could forget the song “The Reason” by Hoobstank. Every radio station in the world made darn sure of that. Both Tom and Pat have been fans of the song all 15 years it’s been out, but an effort to poke fun at the music video goes completely sideways when they find out it’s actually the best music video that’s ever been produced.

137. I Miss You Music Video, Blink-182
September 20, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour - 56.4 MBThe music video for I Miss You turns 15 years old and the guys go deep. They discuss the first time they heard the song, what the hell is going on in the video, how did Blink-182 wind up in this haunted house in the first place, who are these women and why are they dead, and the cultural impact this video had on emo and the subculture it existed in.

September 13, 2019 09:00 - 54 minutes - 49.7 MBIt’s been 15 years since Green Day rocked the entire universe with their career revitalizing ‘American Idiot"‘. The guys remember where they were when they first heard the record, how it impacted their lives then, what it meant for the band they were just forming back in 2004, and how the album’s reception has changed since becoming a music, documentary about a music, and planned movie. The band also announced the Hella Mega tour with Fall Out Boy and Weezer just hours before this episode...

131. A Fever You Can't Sweat Out v. From Under the Cork Tree, 2005 Deathmatch
June 14, 2019 09:00 - 47 minutes - 43.2 MB2005 did not disappoint our little corner of the music universe when it gave us A Fever You Can’t Sweat out by Panic! at the Disco and From Under the Cork Tree by Fall Out Boy mere months apart. While there’s plenty of similarities and cross-overs between these 2 groups, their unique sounds took on a life of their own and proved to be pretty polarizing, even in the decade since their release. The guys take a stab at breaking down the 5 best parts of each album in this week’s episode. L...

Should Blink tour this groundbreaking recording without one of its main songwriters, and would it be better for society if Tom just left Blink behind and focused solely on The The Stars Academy? The guys may not have the answers, but they do have a lot of opinions. Links: Tom...
