- 1 hour 44 minutes272. 10 Years of This Is My Nightmare by The Good Fight
We talk a lot of about album anniversaries on this show, but this is the first time we talk about one of our own!
On November 9, 2013, Tom's band The Good Fight released their debut (and final) EP "This Is My Nightmare" and the guys go track by track and discuss the writing and recording process of each song and provide some insight on how recording your own music opens up a world of appreciation for the songs and albums we listen to every day.

9 November 2023, 8:00 am - 53 minutes 21 seconds271. The 2007 Mixtape Draft
2007 was a very important year for Tom, Pat, and the scene as a whole. This year saw some of our favorite releases of all time, and things get contentious real fast as we scramble to claim our favorite tracks for this week's draft. We end with quick conversation about The Hum Goes On Forever by The Wonder Years.

23 December 2022, 8:01 am - 52 minutes 51 seconds270. All That I've Got by The Used
Daddy and daddy have been away for a few months, and we're very sorry that we left you all alone with the babysitter, a terrible April Fool's joke of an episode. So we're popping in real quick with a brand new toy to hopefully make things right. Here's All That I've Got by The Used, but for real this time. Not a dragon in sight. See you in 10 months…

23 December 2022, 8:00 am - 51 minutes 45 seconds269. Through the Fire and the Flames by Dragonforce
This episode was published on April 1, 2022, originally titled "All That I've Got by The Used" as an April Fool's joke. Since we later went ahead and published a real The Used episode, we changed the title to "Through the Fire and the Flames by Dragonforce".
This week, we left it up to the listeners with a Twitter poll to determine which episode we do this week.
May we present to you: All That I've Got by The Used. No funny business here!

1 April 2022, 7:00 am - 49 minutes 21 seconds268. 99 Red Balloons by Goldfinger
You know those moments in your life where you know you're going to come away from that moment a completely different person? That's what hearing 99 Red Balloons for the first time was for us. It's the reason we're friends. It's the reason we ended up starting a band that we played in all through high school. It very well may be the reason we love pop-punk as much as we do. And it all started with a weird German song in the 90s that captivated the hearts of 3rd wave ska captains, Goldfinger. Thanks for everything, John Feldmann. And sorry for everything, as always…

25 March 2022, 7:00 am - 57 minutes 13 seconds267. Drunken Lullabies by Flogging Molly
Happy St. Patrick's Day, friends! As many as you may know or have guessed by now, we're both hella Irish, so we're happy to talk about the most Irish song we know, Drunken Lullabies by Flogging Molly. (Suck it, Irish National Anthem!)
The song is great year-round, but it hits especially hard on St. Patty's Day. But the VIDEO! Dear Christ, the video is so good. It's basically just a skate film featuring Patrick Melcher and you won't catch either of us complaining about it. It rules!
Erin Go Bragh!

17 March 2022, 7:00 am - 48 minutes 34 seconds266. The Science of Selling Yourself Short by Less Than Jake
Way too much time has gone by without screaming at everyone about how much we absolutely love Less Than Jake. Not only have they been cranking out some of the best music we've ever heard since the early 90s, but they even gave us Fueled by Ramen, so put some respect on the name!
While The Science of Selling Yourself Short isn't the most feel-good song of all time, it's an absolutely killer track with a super trippy and amazing music video that is deserving of so much more than we could ever give it. Summer of ska, here we come!

Many bands over the years have dared to write songs about their hometown, the neighboring state that they can't stand, or even extremely specific restaurants, apartments, and fountains in their local area. This week, we draft our favorite songs about our favorite places and spaces. Not a lot to it, we just love places and spaces!

4 March 2022, 8:00 am - 52 minutes 1 second264. Anywhere But Here by Mayday Parade
it's no secret that Mayday Parade is one of our favorite bands of all time, but we're super guilty of only talking about their debut album A Lesson in Romantics. It seems like the rest of the world may be guilty of the same crime, so we're trying to set the record straight today. Mayday Parade is much more than a one-album wonder!
Anywhere But Here was a very good sophomore record, even on the heels of losing one of their singers to Go Radio over a disagreement concerning songwriting credits. The title track is super fun, the music video is wild and weird, and Facebook is keeping it all to itself. Bastards.

25 February 2022, 8:00 am - 52 minutes 4 seconds263. Everywhere by Michelle Branch
No early 2000's podcast is complete without a Michelle Branch episode, because that woman was everywhere, much pun intended. And she wasn't even a woman yet, she was like 15, taking the entire planet and the airwaves by storm!
Our motto this year is #BangersOnly, so it's only natural we talk about Michelle Branch, even if it is a little bit out of genre as a blend of "moody post-grunge rock and breezy Y2K pop". It bangs, and we're 100% here for it. If only Michelle was 100% here on the podcast. Maybe next time…

18 February 2022, 8:00 am - 50 minutes 45 seconds262. Same Direction by Hoobastank (Into the Hoobaverse)
It's no secret that Hoobastank's music video for The Reason is our favorite heist movie ever, but it recently came to our attention that there's a sequel! Hooba picks up right where they left off and tell a gripping tale of crime, rock and roll, and betrayal all in three minutes, and somehow managed to outdo themselves once again.
However, we want more. Selfishly, but there were also a few loose ends that we'd love to see tied up in a neat bow, so we're calling on Doug Robb and the boys to expand the Hoobaverse with a 3rd installment to the series, or preferably a feature-length video. If you'd like to see this happen, make sure to sign our change.org petition below.
