Blink 182 isn’t just a pop-punk postcard from the past—it’s a living diary that swings between dumb jokes and devastating honesty. We dive straight into the songs that defined our teens and still sneak into our playlists: the rush of First Date, the eternal wink of What’s My Age Again?, the meme-proof pull of All the Small Things, and the gut-punch storytelling of Adam’s Song and Stay Together for the Kids. We even settle a lyric Mandela moment—“I wore cologne” changes that opening scene more than you think—and debate whether “overplayed” is just another word for bulletproof.

While we’re in the time machine, we widen the lens. Taylor Swift heading to the Songwriters Hall of Fame sparks a talk about craft, longevity, and why clear storytelling wins across genres. Arctic Monkeys resurface for a star-studded charity record and remind us how a band can re-enter with purpose. Tennessee’s songwriter rounds bring new voices forward—proof that scenes still matter. Then we pull apart Spotify’s “prompted playlists” tests: discovery dream or pay-to-play rerun? We lay out the upside for music lovers, the risks for independents, and what it means for how we all find the next favorite track.

The big news: we’re bringing back our Battle of the Bands—this time with a live, in-person showdown on a Virginia stage. Brackets, finalists, and real amps in a real room. If Blink taught us anything, it’s that songs live best when a crowd screams them back—even the sad ones. Come for the rankings and misheard lyrics, stay for the stories, and leave with a few tracks to replay on your drive home.

Enjoyed the ride? Follow, subscribe, and share this episode with a Blink fan who still knows every word. Drop your top three Blink 182 songs in the comments and tell us what we bungled—we’ll fight you, lovingly, in the next one.

0:13 I'm the worst person to have a podcast. I think fairly what is up, everybody. Welcome back to the show. I am your host, Harley, joined by my co-hosts, Taylor and Chris. Today. Both of my little sisters are here today, guys. I would be your big sister. You're smaller than me. Wait.

0:53 You said you weren't going to tell anybody. I showed you that in confidence. Today is the Blink 182 episode, guys. The long-awaited Blink 182 episode. Real quick before we start anything, shout out to Maribel, our new number one fan. Shout out Maribel. She's been cometing the hell out of our stuff. She's awesome. She's awesome. Do we know her personally? Or is she just like a no? She's just a fan. So yeah. Taylor, you're wearing a blink 182 shirt. Yeah, sorry, I'm trying to find where Dylan turned up my headphones.

1:37 I am also wearing a Blink 182 shirt. I'm wearing I'm wearing their um their I think it's the self-titled album. Uh mine's from Target. I think it's I think this album was called Down actually. I am also wearing a Blink 182 shirt. Thank you, Timu. Taylor. Yes. Yes. Uh as you should be. For those of you listening, Chris is wearing a Helen Keller denier shirt. Did you did you know? Did you know? Is that not a Blink 182 album? I think so. It's their later work for sure. It should be. If it's not, it's it should be.

2:19 She, the scientists, have disproven her she was a fraud. What are you talking about? I saw something similar like two days ago and was like, oh shit, I gotta look this up. I couldn't find anything, but like a thesis from like the University of Oregon or something. Yeah. That's a complete and total fraud. That she's a complete and total fraud. Okay, all right. Let's find some legendally let's find some level playing ground here. I agree. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Okay, hold on. Taylor's having a freak out. Now we can say whatever we want. Helen Keller is real. She is real. Is real.

3:00 You got me. Um$7,000. So here is the level playing field that I can offer. I agree with both of you. Helen Keller did not fly a plane. That was a make-a-wish thing. That was a pilot brought her up there and was like, we're gonna let her control the controls for like two minutes. Yeah, but two minutes is a long time. Thank you. That's crazy. But you're in the you're in the sky. What are you really gonna do? Unless she like goes like this, you know. I mean, technically she flew the plane for two minutes, or however long it actually was. Technically, yeah, technically, yeah.

3:41 I mean, that's that's what matters. I'm I'm also special needs. Can I also fly a plane? You don't like being in the air. I don't, I really don't. We went over that today. With that beard with that beard, I don't think they'd let you get a license. Probably not, probably not. You can't even get a TSA pre-check, to be honest with you. I almost said something real crazy. Never mind. Oh man. Uh, but this is the this is the Blink Winnie 2 episode, guys. Are you good, Taylor? You broke it again. Nope. Can't hear you. So so while Taylor's having her mini freakout, um I cannot hear you.

4:25 I'll let you know when we can hear you. Um but while she's having a mini freakout, we are talking about Blink 182 today. There we go. Uh, we are also going to be talking about the music news today for the month of January. Um we will be covering some of our favorite Blink 182 facts and songs that we like. And we have a Blink 182 list that we're gonna be going over. We're getting more structured around here. Trying. And I'm trying to sabotage it. It was actually Chris's idea. It was he Chris was like, yo, this this show is off the rails, and it's time we it's time we bring it back in.

5:11 Lies. I love that. He specifically, he specifically was like, yo, Taylor is way too much of a tangent, and we really need to rein her ass back in. Chris thinks that I'm too much. We we need to cut the dead weight. I'm joking. No, that is no, I just I cannot say that. He would never he would never say that. I just not those exact words, not those exact words, but the premise still stands. Uh you know what's really sad? Huh? You know what's really sad is I can't tell you guys stories about work anymore because of HIPAA. Oh.

5:52 So this one agent lost their toe. Like they didn't get it cut off, like they woke up and it was gone. Yo, Taylor is having a major malfunction today. Uh Chris, in case you didn't notice, we lost Taylor. She is frozen as fuck, dude. Oh, dude. Like that's crazy. Um, yeah, I'm gonna take a picture real quick. Uh anyways, it just so oh, she came back, dude.

6:34 I don't know what is I don't know what's going on. What is there's two tailors? Yo, that's so funny. Should I just leave it this way? Oh, the other one, nope, it left. It left on its own. Guys, I was which one's the real tailor? How am I supposed to know which one to shoot? It's like that that episode of of Family Guy. That was crazy. Why did it just I hate it here? What is happening? Dude, I don't know. That's all you though. I love your lights. Thank you. He probably picked them out, right? No, they're not supposed to be that color. They this is actually the white setting. Yeah, I also found that out. That is not very white, it is not.

7:16 No, they're all broken, so they're all crazy colors, guys. Can you see me and hear me okay? Yeah, yeah, we can hear you fine. I am going to turn your microphone down a little bit. That's fine. That's what like what happened? What did I do? Uh, dude, I don't know. Uh, but anyways, um, hippa. Yeah, you have a hippa, I have a hippa, my hippa hurts. Mine too. I think we I think what women have is called a fupa. No, Taylor, Taylor. This is a crazy thing that I need to ask right now. But are your knees in your shirt?

7:58 Um, no, that's crazy that you would ask me that, dude. Dude, I was thinking the same thing. Like, there's something wrong with that camera. Or no, it's because it's it literally, I don't know how I fixed it the last time. It's fine, it's hurt. It's fine. I was very confused. You looked cart, you looked like a cartoon for a second. I was like, that's something's wrong. That's not right. What about no? I did that last. That's better. There we go. Because it makes it it makes it wide, so it makes my body go like this. Yeah, it was crazy. Because it like makes it so wide. Okay. Anywho, anyways. Anywho, anywho.

8:39 Uh Taylor, we have time for one story from you. But first, I literally don't have one. You don't have any stories? I can't talk about work because of HIPAA. Yeah, but you don't have anything else going on in life? No new jewelry. Oh, that's right. Okay, anyways, yeah, yeah. But first, uh, Chris, how's life going? Life's going great. Yeah? Yeah. What's new? This is you you've been gone a little bit. This is the first time you've been back on the show in a little while. Oh, that's right. We did the hot second. Yeah. Yeah. No, yeah. Uh no, nothing new.

9:20 I'm on some new medicine. My blood pressure and whatnot. Um how was dealing with the torrential snow that we got? Oh my god. Yeah, I worked for like 10, 11 days straight. Yeah. My back is killing me. Like it's not more. Yeah. Um, did you get paid a lot though? Like, did you get like time and a half for having to do that?

10:15 No, no, no, no. We're um where we work if the can't if well, if the workplace is closed, essential personnel show up, so they get eight hours that everyone else got paid to stay home who aren't essential, plus whatever you work. So not time and a half. Technically, it's double time every hour you work. So it's not so bad. Yeah. Okay. Um, it is supposed to snow again, everybody. I'm sure the news is out by now. Um apparently we're supposed to get like 10 inches of snow over the weekend. So much snow. If the last one didn't kill you, this one will get you.

10:56 And it's so cold. It is. Uh, I've got a little bit of a life update. Tomorrow, I am taking Adam and Lindsay to a dinosaur uh expo thing. What I heard, and when I told your baby I was so excited, I got yeah, dude. I found out about it today. Dude, you could have invited creepy Uncle Chris. You should come. Do you you and your family want to come? I want to. I'll leave them here. You should, dude. It's in uh it's in Hampton.

11:36 It's like an interactive, like they they have giant animatronics, and and you can dig for fossils, and dude, that's so cool. Yeah, yeah. I I so so I went on to get the tickets and I bought the VIP experience, and I told Lindsay, I was like, Yeah, I bought Adam the VIP experience so that he can really experience all of the things, and she was like, This isn't for him. Yeah, so you bought you the VIP experience. One thing about Harley, he loves a VIP experience. I do, and I also love dinosaurs. So you love dinosaurs. I'm so excited, dude. I'm so excited for you. That's sick. Yeah, uh, it's called Jurassic Quest, I think is the company that puts it on.

12:19 Um, so it's gonna be cool, man. I I think I think he'll have a blast. He really loves dinosaurs, like he do be loving dinosaurs. He does. When I wear my dinosaur shirt to work, when I come home, he freaks the fuck out, dude. He just goes, Dinosaur! And then he runs at me and he starts pointing at him. He's good, he's good, he's a good little guy. He's a good little guy, a good little goopy guy. It also is extremely cold in my studio. I am going to have to fix this relatively soon. I gotta figure out what I can do out here because uh it's like 47 degrees out here. Um what?

12:59 I in inside, yeah. Oh yeah, in in the garage, yeah. Yeah. I don't want to complain about the weather we're having because I know that you guys are having like actually terrible weather. Wonderful weather we're having. Wonderful weather we're having, but it has been in Florida like no higher than 50 degrees. I don't think you guys get snow. Well, honestly, I came out the other day and my car was frozen shut. Like there was a sheet of ice, it was 32 degrees, there was a sheet of ice over my car door, and I was like, that's crazy. Again, I know 50 like isn't cold, but for Florida, like I went to work, it was 40 degrees. I'm like, why is it so cold?

13:41 It's crazy. So, Taylor, you have this new job and you can't you can't talk about I literally can't talk about any of it. At least at least nothing that's going on the internet. Are you kidding me? Because you got that CIA job now. I got that CIA job. No, that was the first thing that they um one of the first things the guy said, he was like, Do you know about hippa? I was like, Yeah, don't talk about patience, and he goes, Yeah. You know about hippo? Hippoponymus? Hip anonymous. Um, I did, I can tell you this. I had someone tell me that they were very disappointed.

14:26 I agree. Was it our mother? No, I said, okay, and then they were like, you need to tell the therapist that I'm disappointed. And I said, Yeah, yeah, I'll let I'll let the therapist know. And then the person goes, I just don't understand why I'm here. Because the therapist had told this patient there was nothing we could do for them because what they needed is what we don't provide. Are you talking about work? Yeah, are you are you allowed to talk about this? I think so. Oh, because I'm not giving actual details, so like I can't give like obviously names, what was wrong, what they were going through, social security numbers, yeah, yeah, all that.

15:08 Um, but no, I was just cracking up and then I went and told the therapist. The therapist was like, I also don't know why this person is here. Uh, but if you sign up for the Patreon, that's a whole different story. We got it behind a paywall. So if you're after those socials, I'll spill it all. No, it's like I will I will put mine on the Patreon. If you're if you're looking for my identity, just sign up. Please take it. I'm going to do it and make your credit better. Please take it. And you have to tempt me with a good time. Literally. You have a baby you have to take care of, you have a wife you have to take care of, you have bills you have to pay. And I had to buy a VIP experience for the Jurassic Quest thing.

15:49 Exactly. What happens when they take that from you? Yeah. Um Taylor. Yeah. Oh no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's uh it's Chris's turn. We're gonna we're gonna start going over some uh music news. Do I not get a show off my piece of jewelry? Oh yeah, yeah, my bad. I forgot. I got I got sidetracked on you not being able to tell us stories anymore. Well, I also wanted to tell everyone that I really like my job, that I'm having a really good time. That's that's cool. And I'm not I'm not hating my life anymore. Anywho, you didn't sound excited. Fine, I'll go back to hating my life, anywho. Yay! Um so everyone remembers how I lost my promise ring, and my promise ring is no more.

16:32 We cannot find it. I don't know where it's at. So our sweet baby promise broken, promise broken. He got me a new promise ring, it came in today. Look how pretty she is. So again, she's barking. I I hate to to beat this dead horse a saying that Taylor loves, but you mean to tell me that Dylan bought you a promise ring after five years of that promise? Can we just be happy about the promise ring? And it's really oh no, I'm so I'm dude, I'm super happy for you. It's awesome. Listen, I'll be I'll be happier when I have a niece or nephew.

17:12 So so what so what exactly so what exactly is the promise here? To love me forever and ever and ever and ever. Okay, all right. Um did you let them know that engagement rings also do that? Yeah, we all did collectively. I will say I did, I did um customer. When's Dylan gonna make an honest woman of you? Get out of here. I did make um an engagement ring, like I went and I customized it for funsies on like a website. Oh, yeah, totally. Yeah, well, yeah, you're not obsessing over it all the time. No, not all the time. Um, I did like it and I did send it to him, so we will see.

17:56 That's not creepy at all. What that I made my own engagement ring? Yeah, it's gotta be something like what if you pulled, what if you pulled uh uh who do we know that did that that bought their own engagement ring? We know somebody that did that. We do. We probably can't talk about it, but it runs with Christopher and Schmanen. Oh, yeah, and that's something that we'll have to tell Chris outside of the podcast because for legal reasons I literally don't think we can tell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fair enough. Fair enough. I don't know them and I can guess their names. No, no, you can't, Christopher.

18:42 Um, so anywho, Taylor. Um, I'm happy that you you got a second promise after you broke your first promise. And it's real diamonds. Are we good? Are we just gonna go over that fact? Uh, I mean, real diamonds, fake love is what it sounds like. Listen, just let me have it. Chris, I mean, you got it. Chris, Chris was way more supportive. Let's talk about that, guys. I put in the group chat and I said, I got a new promise ring, and Chris said, Let me see it. That's the love and support I need. Not one joke. Now tell them the rest. There was a joke. There was a joke, and I will go ahead and read. Do we what about your ugly hands?

19:24 About my raccoon hands. No, it's because I had it like that, it looked like a paw. Yeah. Um, yeah, Chris literally went in that group chat and was like, Girl dish, let's see. Anyway, no, literally, don't let's let us see it. And then he said, I'm getting Harley a promise grill with a picture of teeth grills. Dude, I would wear it. Dude, my computer had camera is sick. Do you see? I would, I know it's pretty, it's pretty damn good. I if you got me a promise grill, I would act like Riff Raff. I'd I'd straight up act like I don't know nobody. I I see. Wait a second. I think I'm gonna change it. I'm gonna get you a promise sword because you're not gonna lose and you're not gonna break it.

20:07 That's right. Promise sword. If you think for one minute, if you got me a promise sword, I'm not pulling that out and slashing just everything I can like a fruit ninja. I'm I'm going to take it brothers, like stepbrothers, and see what uh see what we can cut, man. With Randy Jackson's autograph, because it's like you're not not gonna get Randy Jackson's autograph. Stepbrothers. Um, so Taylor. You guys don't hear this? Oh no, no, sorry, Chris. I believe it's time for music news. And yes, Taylor, we can hear that. Sorry, I like I hyperfixated on it, and now I just like have to finish what I started.

20:50 What's going on in the world of music, man? Music news. So, Taylor Swift elected to the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Swift becomes the second youngest inductee, joining legends like Alanis Morissette, Kenny Loggins, and KISS members. The ceremony is set for June 11th, 2026, in New York City. The Songwriter Hall of Fame. That's pretty that's a pretty big accomplishment. That's pretty big. And honestly, say what you will, she deserves it. Also, why the fuck is Kiss in there? Is that is that unpopular? Is Kiss not writing their own music?

21:33 Huh? Or just the music they write? Yeah, I just I don't out of all of the songwriters in the world. Yeah. Maybe it's because they're they're like so well known and classic. I mean, they're definitely well known, but it's because they shoved their freaking logo in everyone's face at every 30 seconds for 25 years. Why are you so mad at kiss right now? No, I'm not mad. I'm just thinking, like, you there's so many talented writers. Look, you're being so salty. I think you need a kiss. Get Lindsay, get Lindsay now. But like Kenny Loggins makes sense.

22:13 Alanis Morse makes sense. Taylor makes sense. I will say say what you want about Taylor Swift. Her being in the songwriter Hall of Fame does make sense. It makes sense. That girl can write a song. Yeah, she can sort of s I don't I don't like them. I don't like the songs, but she can write she can write a song. No, that's fantastic. That's fantastic. What's our least favorite Taylor Swift song? Oh decisions. Mine is that entire folk album that she did. I don't remember the name of it.

22:54 Yeah, I did not like that. Is that what it was? I don't know. Yeah, I didn't like that one. Yeah, what's that one where it's like she's cheer captain and I'm in Queen? Shut your mouth. You belong with me. And that's from her first album, and it is so my oldest, right, was obsessed of sex. Make sense. So dude, it's just on repeat. On repeat. On repeat. I want to drive this car into a ditch. Like wait, wait, wait. We're talking about faith right now? Yeah, faith. Faith was obsessed with seven boy haircuts, egg bites, faith.

23:40 Yes. But she was also five. Oh, okay, okay. That's that's different. That's fair. She's sorry, she's correcting me right now. She was four. Ask her, is she obsessed with it now? Are you still obsessed with Taylor Swift? Uh no, she looks like she's gonna vomit. Yeah, okay, all right. That makes more sense. That makes more sense. Um, Dylan th threw up today. Sorry, I never talk about music news, but I was forgetting. Wait, were you listening to Taylor Swift? No, he was eating Outback. Oh. He was probably listening to me talk. I would recommend not putting that one on the Barbie. That's funny. That was a funny joke. Um no, that's why I don't like Nirvana, because that's the first thing that Harley learned how to play, and now I literally can't stand the song smells like Team Spirit.

24:28 Can't stand it. Yeah, I don't alright. I don't care for it either. Yeah, it's pretty bad. Um I'm happy for uh second youngest. I wonder who the youngest one is. I can't think of who the youngest one would be. But that's cool, that's exciting. Who who who would we like to see in the Songwriter Hall of Fame? I I have my answer. I have my answer. I'm just gonna pick a name, Alan Jackson. Okay, all right. Okay, uh, Taylor, Alex Warren. Alex Warren?

25:08 You're gonna be surprised. I was thinking Khaled. Oh, what is that? See, I I was gonna say, I know what Chris's answer should have been. I'm shocked that he didn't pick this guy. So uh wait, Ryan Woods. Ryan Woods, Ryan Woods, yes, Ryan Woods. Ryan Woods. Chris loves Ryan Woods, dude. He really does, dude. He is awesome. I agree. Like, I don't know if we're gonna talk about the show, but after the interview was over, myself, Taylor, and Ryan stayed on for like another 45 minutes. Hung out until I was gonna pee my pants. I literally was like, guys, I have to get off here.

25:50 I'm gonna what'd you say? I said you ruined it for me. I literally did. I'm so sorry. He's an amazing artist, down to earth, awesome dude. Like he's fantastic. Yeah. Um, go ahead, sir. Continue with the music news. So, music news. Arctic monk uh Arctic Monkeys contribute to a major star-studded charity album. Uh, marking a comeback after a multi-year hiatus with opening night featured among many big names. That's pretty cool. Um I'm a pretty big Arctic monkeys fan. I like that one album. I guess I'm not a super big fan.

26:30 I like that one album. I think it was called AM was the title of the album. It was a black one and it had like a sound wave that turned into like glasses, like sunglasses. Uh but it it has all of the Arctic monkey songs that you know and love. It has the one that goes. Um, what else is on there? It has Why You Always Call Me When You're High. Um a handful of other songs. I can't think of them at the moment, but Tech Tech. But I'm I'm a fan of I'm a fan of the Arctic Monkeys.

27:11 And you guys fans of the Arctic Monkeys? I know that one song. The one that I was doing the beat to? Probably. I know that I I know for a fact that I know one song by the Arctic Monkeys. That one, that first one that I was singing the tune to uh was like used in like TikTok-y type videos all the time for like um like Home Depot ads for some reason. Yeah, it was for some reason they kept putting that song. Yeah, they kept putting that song to like Home Depot type ads. Oh, dude, yeah. Look, the same um the same album. I was just looking through the music I bought, you know. Yeah, I like enough to buy.

27:51 Yeah, are you mine? Oh, yeah, that's the one. Yeah, dude. I love that song. Yeah, it's the only one I own, but yeah. Yeah, that album's great. I love that album. I was like, oh shit, that's what you were describing. Yep. Yep. I'm excited that they're making new music. I will definitely be checking it out. I would like to see the black keys make some new stuff since the Arctic Monkeys are making some new stuff. I'd like to see the black keys kind of make a comeback. Because they were they were really good back in the day. What about the black eyeds? Fergie? Do we get Fergie and and Will I Am back in the back in the studio? I'd give it a chance.

28:32 I'll definitely give it a chance. Like make them boys go local. I would I would listen to it. Yeah. Oh, yeah, sure. Remember when remember when mom thought that my favorite band was the black-eyed peas? It was so random. Dude, I I don't know where it came from. One year for Christmas, she was super, super pumped because she was like, I got you the greatest present. You're gonna lose your fucking mind over this. And I open it up, and it's a set of drinking glasses. Black-eyed peas drinking glasses, and I was like, Thanks. I was like, I don't I don't know where this information is coming from.

29:13 Oh I don't even know a black-eyed peas song. I don't think it's that, I think that they were just music-related glasses. No, she was thinking of the black keys because I also got for Christmas from Matt, shout out Matt, um, that black keys record because we were super into the black keys, and she thought I was the black-eyed peas. Do you remember when it was like, dude, it was like few futuristic, like Fergie in like a like a space suit? Yeah, it was weird, it was the whole thing was weird. Do you remember when grandma got mom a Justin Bieber CD? Because my concert, my first one of the I think it was the first concert I ever went to was Jonas Brothers.

29:59 Yeah. And my grandma got, well, our grandma got my mom a Justin Bieber CD, and my mom was like, What is this? And she was like, That band that you went to go see with Taylor, the concert you went to, and she said Jonas Brothers, and then my grandma goes, I don't know. I just remember the JB. I just remember the JB. So we just had a random Justin Bieber CD. It was his first one with baby on it. Yeah, that's funny. Wait a second. Could your mom just have been confused? Were you listening to a lot of you know, Dixie Chicks, Earl had to die? Who me? Black black-eyed peas, you know. I don't black-eyed peas, Earl. Oh man, and I know they're called the chicks now.

30:41 I just refuse to call them the chicks. Yeah, I only call them by Dixie. The the dicks. Um, anyways, let's go ahead and move on to the next one. Okay, music news. Tennessee songwriters week qualifying rounds are kicking off, spotlighting emerging writers and performers. I have no idea what that is. So basically, every year uh there is like a singer-songwriter competition, and it's put on, I believe, by the Songwriting Guild of America, and they pull different songwriters from across the US, put them into this competition, and then everybody goes out to Tennessee and performs that song, and then there's like a almost like a battle of the band style situation.

31:38 Sick. Yeah, yeah, it's a really cool event. It's it highlights a lot of new upcoming writers in the area, and Tennessee is known as like the songwriting capital of the world, so it's pretty cool, pretty exciting stuff. Different genres? Oh, yeah, yeah. Mainly like Americana folk, you know, country, but like all it spans all genres. Oh, that's cool. Mm-hmm. Is it televised? I don't believe so. I think they do like like YouTube though. Oh, okay, okay. Like a YouTube live, or like they just put the things on YouTube. I think they just put the videos up, but I could be wrong.

32:19 I have never entered. I have thought about entering a handful of times, but I've never done it. Uh yeah, Chris, you had a question? Yes, thank you, sir. I've been waiting for it. Uh go ahead, Taylor. Taylor, what's up? Um, so uh first of all, I loved when we did Battle of the Bands. I thought it was so fun. And I know we probably can't talk about it, but do you remember the drama it cost? Oh, yes. I was all for talking about it, and I was all for putting that person on blast because that was crazy. It was crazy, and I am happy to announce for the first time right here on this show to both of you. I had been thinking about this for a while. Um, he's breaking up with us.

33:00 We did no, we did a battle of the bands, the first annual battle of the bands. Yeah, and this year we're doing it again, guys. Let's go! I'm announcing it early. I was I was gonna wait, but we are doing a second annual battle of the bands this year. So prepare to be entering that competition. That is so fun. There's gonna be a new thing that we're doing this time around. I would like to see this become an in-person event. So we are going to be we are going to be requesting your uh music um to put into the ruling of the battle of the bands, and then I am going to pull the finalists together.

33:43 And if you can make it, great. If not, totally understand. It will not impact our decision, but we are going to let you come out, all of the all of the finalists, and perform your songs on a stage here in Virginia in front of a live audience. That's sick. I just like you heard it here first. It won't be until the summer, but be getting ready for that. Preparing. Did you ever tell Chris about the drama? Um, I mean, he listened to it. We talked a little bit about it on the show. I think about it. I forgot that that happened, and it's so crazy. Like, how are you gonna get mad when we're we're not even that big of a show?

34:26 Like, it just wasn't that deep. Well, yo, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill. But like in mind stuff, you know what I mean? Especially during the time that we did it. Taylor's over here, like, I mean, we had like seven people listening, like it really wasn't a big deal. And that was mom and dad were two of them. Literally, it was uh the whole thing, it was just crazy. I was like, that's wild. Anywho, yeah, continue. But but I agreed completely. Oh, yeah, yeah, with it with the decision. Yeah, I mean, it was it was kind of crazy. Yeah, it was kind of crazy. It wasn't really used to get over it. This year's gonna be better. This year's too.

35:07 This year's gonna be awesome. It's gonna dominate the the airwaves, and I'm excited to see everybody um come out and play. Um I I've already started working on the venue, Chris, and you're gonna be excited on where it's at. Frank's. Nope. Oh. It's you and me. Nope, it's you and me. It's it's our it's our home ground that we are at five days a week. The bar? Yeah. We're both unemployed, we just hang out at the bar. Um, no, I've been talking to somebody that we both know about getting it uh at the campus.

35:50 Oh, that's dope. Really? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah, so anyways, guys, it's gonna be awesome. Um, that's so exciting. I'm gonna draw out the competition. There's gonna be a full bracket system. We're gonna we're gonna really do it this time. We're doing it. Anyways, we really did like that. That's some breaking news. One last piece of music news, and then we're gonna move on. Yes. So Spotify, oh sorry, music news is testing uh Spotify is testing uh new algorithm-driven prompted playlists and other platform updates. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She already does that.

36:30 These nuts. What do you mean? Well, so so they are um they're doing this new thing on Spotify where when you're listening, you'll start seeing ads for playlists that kind of match what you're listening to. Oh, Spotify don't curated by other like Spotify users. Like, let's say I make a playlist, and let's say Spotify notices that some of the songs that you enjoy are on my playlist, they'll recommend my playlist to you. Oh, that's kind of crazy. Based off your based off your algorithm and building that like community of music enthusiasts.

37:11 I don't hate that, but like I need you to understand my Spotify playlist. And I'm gonna the way I'm gonna have you understand is I'm going to confront it's just like all over the place. It's crazy. Well, so I don't have specific playlists, it all just goes in one spot. Like, I'm not the person who I have things organized. Like, yeah, this will this will not really be for that. It'll be for like you, you might look at it and be like, oh, that might have some songs that I like that I didn't know existed. My first 10 songs, look at me now Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Buster Rhymes, Mrs. Officer, Lil Wayne, American Pie, weano man.

37:55 Yes. Um, Bad Luck by Khaled. I can only imagine We Believe by the News Boys. That's all in the same like chunk. Yeah, I mean, well, the so again, this is this is gonna be gearing towards building up new music that you may never have known existed. Um, but the the controversy that I could see happening is this is going to be a way for Spotify to reach out to uh record companies and PR companies and the likes and have them build playlists of their artists.

38:40 They already are. You're just building a new version of the of the label. It's it's just a new record label industry. They're finding a way to bring the record labels back into streaming because the whole point of streaming was artists were like, we don't need record labels anymore. We're gonna start being independent artists and doing it ourselves, and now you're going to have artists paying labels to push their Spotify playlists. So I mean the day that Bruno Mars announced, or no, it might not have been the day, but like the week that he announced he was going back on tour, my Spotify, my playlist, it only played Bruno Mars songs.

39:22 And I was and I love Bruno Mars, don't get me wrong, but I'll I wasn't in the mood. I was skipping, skipping, skipping, skipping, skipping, and I got a lot of Bruno Mars on my playlist. Played the whole thing. Who'd he pay? Get out of my Spotify. And also, I just I would need to know, I I'd need to see like the ins and outs of how this prompted playlist thing is gonna work. Yeah, like we need more details before we can make any final decisions, but that's how I see the controversy going is it's going to be a way for Spotify to offer you know money to companies or or companies pay Spotify. You know, it's it's a revenue game again. It's it's a way to push artists that may not have gotten through with their following to the top because it's a curated pay-to-play playlist.

40:13 Anyhow, Lizzo's gonna make it back on top. That's crazy. Um sorry, I I'm very distracted. It I am I am chilly willy penguin bones over here. Put a jacket on. I've got nothing back here. One time you don't wear a hoodie. I know, dude. I did it for the t-shirt, and I'm it's so cold. Don't you have a blink 182 hoodie? Oh, you know what's so funny that I just realized? And it's so cute because I don't know if it's like this on your guys' screen, but it goes Harley Chris me, so Chris is in a little Cornell sandwich, which I think is really funny. Yeah, I do that on purpose.

40:54 But so warm and cozy, you feel so loved. But Harley and I match even with our hats, and Chris doesn't. No, he matches in his own way, in his own way, like it looks nice on the screen, is my point. Do you know what I mean? We're all on the ant the same anti-psychotic med, so exactly. I mean, can you tell that like the reason Chris doesn't match is he's getting into the character that of his shirt? He couldn't see, he couldn't see or hear. He didn't know. Um, but anyways, that is your music news guy, dude. Imagine imagine Helen Keller's teacher. What was her name? Ann Taylor. And something like that.

41:35 Taylor something Taylor. Something Taylor. Um, imagine she got acrylics done. And and like her nails were done. She's like, hey, don't touch me. Uh let's talk a little bit about Blink 182. It's like that scene from from Bob's burgers when they're doing the dance on the fingers. This is the Blink 182 episode. This is episode 182. Can you believe we've been doing this for 182 weeks? Isn't that crazy? So exciting. Um, I was telling Lauren about that, and she's really excited that this is a Blink 182 episode. I have been listening to them all week.

42:16 So let's go around the table here and talk about our favorite Blink 182 songs. There's so many. There's so many. You go first. Damn it is my number one. Oh, that's a really good one. Girl in the Rock Show is number two. That was my number one. That was my number one. And I would say um California is number three for me. Um actually, can I look up on my Spotify? There's one I'm thinking of that the reason I love Blink 182 so much is like they have a sick bass.

42:58 Do you know what I mean? Like their fan base? I mean, yeah, we're in it. Chris, what are your favorite songs? So, number one, the rock show. Number two, what's my age again? Number three, I know all the small things. All the small things. I knew it was coming. Somebody said I know I'm sorry. Yes, that's yeah. Somebody had to pick it. Yeah. Oh, I can't believe yours is an Adam song. That's crazy. I was thinking the same thing. So fun, fun little fact during Lindsay's pregnancy when she was giving birth to our baby boy.

43:40 Um, I had a playlist playing, like a birthing playlist. Yeah. As she was as she was pushing, um push it. That was on there. That was on there. Uh but as she was pushing, I had Adam's song by Blink 182 playing. And the nurse was like, Is this Blink 182? And I was like, Yeah, it's Adam's song. And then she was like, Oh, what's your baby's name? And you're like, Ah, it's Jake. Adam. Uh, but I love that song too. I'm a huge Blink 182 fan, actually. Same. I I really so good. I really don't know if you guys know how much I love Blink 182. You love Blink 182.

44:20 Um, my favorite is first date. Since all my first date is great. First date is great. Um Stay Together for the Kids is incredible. One more time. I mean, come on, that song is so beautiful. Dude Blink is What's My Age Again is an incredible song, Chris. You have it, you have it 100% right there. Uh, feeling this is absolutely awesome. I love that song. Um Always is great. Out of her mind. Great. Down, out of her mind. That whole album. My favorite blink album is the California album. Where are you? I'm so sorry. You want to hear something so funny?

45:00 Dylan was on his computer, and I had on my headphones, I was talking to Lauren, and Dylan randomly, as he's playing his game, goes, Where are you? So I went, and I'm so sorry. And as soon as I said it, Lauren went, I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight. I need somebody in always. Always. Anywho. Anybody know the next line? I do. Go ahead, go for it. Six strange darkness comes creeping on. You know, haunting every time. As I stare, I counted. The webs from all the spiders. Spiders.

45:43 Catching their insides or something like that. Catching things and eating their insides. Yeah. Um, go ahead. Uh please go ahead. No, no, no. You go ahead. You go ahead. Hold on. I have no. We're working on that. I guess age before beauty, so I'll go ahead. I didn't know we were bringing back crappy ogi. We should, dude. I went oh we should. Crappy ogi. Um, yeah, yeah, dude. Dude, it was so fun. We should. I before that song made me sad, I wouldn't listen to it because it had spiders in it, and it made me want to throw up. Just hearing the word, just hearing the words.

46:24 Like actually made like acid in my stomach churn. That's crazy. Um, I will be mailing you a box of spiders. Please don't. Chris, the way I will box it is unreal. You're are you the joker? We should bring back karaoke. I I loved it. The only reason that we stopped doing it was because I had to remember I had to pay for the the karaoke program every month, and it was like twenty dollars a month. It can't just you to do it. Yeah, yeah, it wasn't free. Do you guys want to know what my karaoke song has been lately? What? Oh, say it can you see that's not really yeah?

47:09 It's it's been my nightly routine of singing that to Dylan. That is my karaoke. I sing the entire Star Spangled Banner, and then I say, I'm going to bed, good night. You can ask him, it's been like a week thing. That's that's strange. Um so Taylor, tell us some fun link 182 facts. Well, let's talk about the origin first. Where are they from? You know, what do they do? So the band was formed in Poway? Poway? Powi? What? I'm gonna say I'm gonna say Powwey, California in 1992 with Tom Delone.

47:51 Oh, you just skipped the first one. Okay. I'm sorry, I was confused. Did you not, did you not do my you ruined my whole thing? Oh, I'm sorry. Continue. It's okay. And the original drummer, Scott Rayner. Right? Um they decided to pop along, Mark Hoppas, Scott Rayner. Yes. Yeah. They decided on their name. Originally they were just gonna be called Blink, but due to an Irish techno band already having that name, they added the 182, so now they're Blink 182, so they could be different. Um I'm gonna look up this band Blink. I want to hear an Irish techno band.

48:33 Wouldn't it be funny if like wouldn't love an Irish techno band? Wouldn't it be funny if like now they just cover Blink 182 songs, but like Irish versions, and just the thick Irish accents. Oh potatoes, where are you? No, you're sorry, sorry. Um a fun fact. Oh, ow, hang on. I cracked my ankle. Oh, perfect segue. Dude props, dude props on that one. That was good. That deserves give me a give me a virtual fist found. That was great. That was solid. With our with our non-wedding rings. Well, well, well, anywho.

49:16 Um, anyways, um, when Mark Hoppis met Tom DeLong for the first time, he tried to impress him by climbing a lamppost outside of Tom's house, but he spoke boke. He poked both of his wings. Oh poor baby boy, he poked him. He broke both of his ankles on the way down. Did you hear the mark mock boke both of his wings? Oh god.

49:59 Oh man. That's funny. What else you got? Well, this one's really funny. So this is a little humor for you. This goes, this shows you the band's personalities, I think. Like this makes sense. Like this cracks me up. They have the the holding company for the band is named Pooh Poo Butt Inc. Because I thought it would be funny to hear their business manager say it. Dude, could you that's what I was gonna name my plumbing business. Son of a bitch. Could you imagine being in a boardroom with a bunch of corporate executives in like business suits and ties with like fancily cut hair?

50:40 And they're just like, well, you know, poo poo butt ink is going to be. Poo poo butt incorporated is going down the drain quite low. As you can see here, poo poo butt ink is in the red, and we want that to be in the green. Green is healthy, red is colonoscopy. Uh, other fun facts? Anybody got any other fun facts that they just knew about Blank 182? Yeah. Yes, Taylor. The drummer is married to a Kardashian. That's what mine was gonna be. The drummer is married to a Kardashian. Which one? I don't know which one. Does it matter? If they're all the same. If you think it's Kim, it's Kim.

51:21 If it looks kind of like Kim, it's Courtney. And if it looks nothing like Kim, it's Chloe. That's the role of the Kardashians? That's like the well that's like the the laws of physics. What the guy? I think I have it wrong. I don't want to see it. I think I got Courtney and Chloe messed up. Do you guys not know what that's from? What I just said. I I know nothing about the Kardashian. Other than that dream that you had. What dream did I have? Oh, I remember that was crazy. I don't I'd have to go back and listen to the episode. I don't remember all the details, but I know Kim Kardashian was there. Did we not interview her? Yeah. That was crazy.

52:03 Uh but I know that Travis Barker is married to one of them and has uh some kids. Courtney. Courtney, I was right. If it looks like Kim, it's Kim. If it kind of looks like Kim, it's Courtney. And if it looks nothing like Kim, it's Chloe. Chloe has delicious popcorn. It's at Target. Glad we said popcorn. It is so good. Um I can't think of any other facts. Uh, Tom DeLong is obsessed with aliens and left the band to uh search for aliens. That was why he quit the band. That makes sense. I know the drummers are called Travis Barker.

52:44 Mark Hoppas uh survived cancer. He over overcame cancer. Um yeah. Yeah. And I think that's pretty much it. Uh somebody was almost in a plane crash or was in a plane crash. I think it was Travis. I think Travis Barker was in a plane crash. I don't know for sure on that. But oh, I got one Travis Barker's daughter, and someone else had some mad beef. Oh, I remember that. And then like somebody brought Kanye onto no, it wasn't Kanye, it was somebody else, or maybe it wasn't because Travis went to him and was like, yo, that's your fucking niece, dude.

53:29 Yeah, yeah, and was like, hey, you know the song's about my daughter, right? Did you even read it? Right, right. And he was like, Oh, my bad, big dog, my bad, my bad. You're obsessed with big dog. It's your new thing. Every day, what up, big dog? What's going on, big dog? What what are you what are you doing, big dog? What you want to eat, big dog? I've I've brought back um hey girl, hey. Yeah. Literally walked in today and was like, what up, big dog? Listen, listen, listen. You need to make fetch a thing. That's a fetch. You can't make fetch happen. It's not going to happen.

54:11 Okay. We can try it. I I can try to work it. Like that. Thing down, flipping or reverse it. Ermineur. Yeah. Um, do you guys want to know what my favorite Missy Elliott song is? Burn chair. You can't say that. I can't. I can't, but you can't. If if you know, you know. You know. Um I've been obsessed lately. Do you know that clip from Angela or from Courtney from Smosh um quoting Angela when she's at a medieval thing?

54:51 And she goes, No, I'm good. I'm good. You know what I'm talking about. I mean, not really, no. Never mind. Or for a while it was, I'm an adult. I need to calm down. Um, are we ready to jump into this list of blink 182 songs? The top 10. Let's do Blink 182 songs. Yeah, let's do it. Okay, everybody shut up. Shut up, shut up, this list, this list, of music stuff. This list, it's list of music stuff.

55:32 All right, coming in at number 10 on the top 10 blink 182 songs. We have the rock show. Guys, is this your list? No, this is this is Google's list. It's wrong. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're all number one. Um The Rock Show, Chris, your favorite blank 182 song. Uh, tell us about your girl at the rock show. I think it was a metal show. It wasn't really a rock show. And she was hot.

56:14 You're talking about mashuga? Yeah. I would say they're I would say they're metal. Yeah. So my uh my wife's bra broke at the rock show. So that was fun. Seeing her in that mashuga shirt just nice. And I wore a rooster rosy. Nice. Um, I love this song. I think Girl at the Rock Show is an incredible song. I it's it's a super fun one. I agree with you guys. I can't believe it's number 10. That that's crazy to me. I would move the rock show.

56:54 I would replace the rock show with um number four. I would make number four, number ten. Yeah, and I would make number ten, number four. Really? Yeah. I mean, then where are you gonna put number number one? Number four, number four is an amazing song. It's a very emotional song, but it's not one that you can just listen to anytime. Like you gotta be you gotta be in the right headspace for that one. Um number seven. Uh I will well, we'll get there. We'll get there. We'll get there. I this yeah. I give the rock show five. Five. Yeah. Five.

57:35 Five, absolutely. Uh coming in at number nine. Sorry. Coming in at number nine, we have first date Taylor, your favorite. Blink one eight. It is my favorite. I think I would switch eight and nine. But it makes sense that it's higher up on the list. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I guess. Um like I think it's crazy. It's still that. First date's more popular for sure. Yeah. In the car, I just can't wait. To pick you up on our very first date. Is it cool if I hold your hand?

58:15 Hold your hand. If it's wrong, if I think you think it's late dance. Do you like my stupid chair? Could you guess that I didn't know it? I'm just scared. What do you think? You make me nervous when I was going to be. Honest. Let's make let's make this this night lasts forever. Forever. And ever. I'm in hell. This is what Lindsay lived with for eight months, Chris.

58:56 God. Honestly, kudos to us for for getting there. I liked our little when we were on time together. That was fun. Here's a good, here's a good uh uh Mandela effect for you guys. Um, we're not to this song yet, but the song What's My Age Again? Do you know there's that line in that song? The opening line, Chris, sing the opening line to that song if you can think of it. I can't. So, Taylor, do you know it? I mean, I can play to my phone and start singing a lot of meeting.

59:41 I walked alone to get the feeling right. We started out. See there, you thought the same thing that me and most of the world thought. Is it not to get the feeling? It's not I walked alone. What is it? I wore cologne. Oh. I wore cologne, right? I've never sung it that way, ever. I walk alone to get the feeling right. I walk alone to get the feeling right. We started making out it does make sense though. It does make sense though. I wore cologne. It was like to get the feeling right.

1:00:21 Yeah, like you're you're at the house with a girl, so you you know, you got you got a little bit of axe on you, you know what I'm saying? I literally was just about to say the axe body spray. Yeah, I wore cologne to get the feeling right. We started making it out, and she took off my pants, and then I turned on the TV. And that's about that time. She walked away from me. Okay, any anywho. Sorry. I was just gonna let's let's jump over to what are we on? We're on number eight. Uh oh, sorry, we didn't we didn't rate first eight. It's a five. Five. Five. Five. Uh you know what? I'm just gonna come out and say it. This whole list is a five for me.

1:01:02 Okay. I'm just I'm just gonna tell you guys. I'm just gonna tell you guys. Oh, for sure. We don't even have to rate. The whole thing's a five. So coming in at number eight, we have feeling this. Gotta be right now. I'm feeling this. It's just one of those days. We fell short this time. Smile face in the summer. I taste your hand in mine. You guys you guys know that song? I don't think I've ever heard this song. Really? No, but it's still a five. Dude, I love this song.

1:01:44 It's gotta be damn right now. I'm feeling this. I know that part, but the rest of what you're saying, I don't know. Oh, dude, that's the best part. We fell toward this time. My office in the summer. I think that this one could have been number nine, though. I agree with you, Taylor. I would have moved nine to eight. I would have moved, yeah. I I would have switched. Yeah. Six, seven. Six, seven. Six, seven. Um uh obviously it's a five for me. How do you guys feel? Five three. A three. Whoa.

1:02:25 I don't agree. Even for not knowing. We're gonna have to listen to it. We're gonna have to listen to it. Change the answer. Nah, nah. Let them throw the controversy. I like the controversy. A one. There you go. Wish granted. I almost said something. Never mind. Never mind. Different Joe. Different Joe. Different Joe. All the small things, truth care, truth brings. All right. Coming in at one less. You're right. Best trip. Sorry. Coming in at number seven. We have what's my age again. We obviously love this one. Love this song. Can I change my my favorite song?

1:03:07 To what's my age again? No, to all the things again. To all the small things. That that one is my favorite. That one is my favorite song. I mean, if you want to be basic, I guess. It makes me smile. Have you met me? Of course I would. It makes me smile. That was the most you answered that the most basic way. Damn it. Why'd you sound like Tammy from Bob's burgers? Uh do you watch um do you watch that one show uh with the sex monster with the with the puberty monsters? Yeah. Yeah. What is that? What was that show called? I can't remember. Anyways, there's a there's a girl in that show.

1:03:47 Big mouth, yeah. There's a girl in that show that uh I used to make fun of all the time with Lindsay. The the girl that uh that goes, Andrew. And then she she says, uh, she says, I'm not a dump drug. I hate that joke. God, it's disgusting, dude. It's not good. It's not good. No. The first season was funny, but then it got weird. What's my age again is a big old five for this guy. I love that so long. Um, all the small things, are we surprised? Is it that it's at number six? Yes. Actually, I'm surprised this is at number one. I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm also gonna be honest with you. I'm surprised it's not number one as well.

1:04:28 Number one number one shocked me. I'm gonna be real with you. It shocked me. Is it did it shock you because it's all the small things again? Or bringing it back. You'll never you'll never guess. You'll never guess, guys. Um, so coming in at number six, we've got all the small things, classic blink song. Everybody knows this one. It's perfect. It's what put them on the map. Um five. Another another misheard lyric. Um how does it go? Turn the lights off, carry me home. A little. It's the song is a little windmill, not I know it will.

1:05:15 Like in the song. I know it will. Not that. Yeah, it's it's not that. It's not I know it will, it's a little windmill. Why are they wrong? Like they're just wrong. I'm trying to think of how the song actually goes now. I I can't remember that line, like how it leads up to that. Turn the lights off, carry me home. I know it will, so but it's not, I know it will, it's a little windmill. Just just a little just a little fact for you. Um All the Small Things is definitely a five. It's a great song.

1:05:57 So good, it makes me happy. All the small things. Why did it get why did it get silent there for a second? I'll take one left, home right, best trip, oh. We can't Taylor, are you playing the song right now? Because we can't do that at my show, watching, waiting, coming. Say it ain't so I will not go turn the turn the lights off and carry off.

1:06:41 Oh I'm trying to find this little windmill situation and it's towards the end. Oh, the night will go on, the night will go on. My little windmill. Yeah. That's stupid. Night will go on. No, it will. Yeah. No, if it's a little manmill. That's stupid. Anywho, that's a five. Oh bajillion. This next one, number five, Adam's song. How familiar are you guys with Adam's song? Um, I love when he sings to me. That's another that's another one of those, like, that's a sad, sad song, dude. Adam's song is really sad.

1:07:21 I don't think I've ever heard it. It was, it was honestly in the in the process. Like, I picked it because his name was gonna be Adam, but like when they were doing it, like Lady was like, This is kind of like killing the mood. Like, it was not a good choice. You're kind of like killing the mood of your son being, it was not a good choice. You should be able to baby, like Justin Bieber's baby, we had uh push it, we had um we had birthday song by uh AJR. We had a handful of good songs. Um but yeah, that one was that one was on there. Yeah, I love the song. Yeah, this is gloomy. Yeah, it's dude, it's deep.

1:08:03 It's it's pretty, it's pretty sad. Like the lyrics are pretty fucking sad. Uh, they had a lot of songs that were really like depressive kid songs, you know what I mean? Like like children trauma songs. Oh, yeah. Like Adam's song is a is a song about a kid going through drama, like quite clearly. Honestly, on par for your baby, and then stay together for the kids, which is coming up next, is also like one of the most horrifically sad songs, dude. I have crazy. Never heard the song, nor do I want to. Dude, it's so good.

1:08:43 I'm telling you, Taylor, it is so good. I just don't know if my heart can handle it. I forget the exact line. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Keep talking, keep talking, guys. Oh, do you want to know what one of the saddest songs I think I've ever listened to that really resonates me, resonates with me is you guys don't know who this is, but I I know that you know, buddy, because I played you the song before. But Anatomy by Kenzie Um Ziggler. Oh, yeah, yeah, you told me about that. Crazy. Okay, so listen to listen to these words. Ready? Yeah, it's hard to wake up when the shades have been pulled shut.

1:09:24 This house is haunted, it's so pathetic, it makes no sense at all. That's so sad. Um, and then the Tom DeLong part. So here's your holiday. Hope you enjoy it this time and gave it all away. Um, and then he then the next one is uh so when you're dead and gone, will you remember this night 20 years now lost? It's not right. Yeah, dude, it's all about like like us, it's a guy singing to his parents who like were very abusive against each other and the kids, and they just like kept the cycle going because it was such a stigma to get a divorce.

1:10:14 That's insane. It's crazy, dude. It's crazy. And then like he doesn't talk to his parents anymore, and this is his song to his parents saying, like, how's it feel to know like you've lost this relationship? Bold move, period. Go off. So that's Adam's song and stay together for the kids, five and four. Uh, the two saddest songs on the list. Should be switched with six and seven. Six, seven. Six seven. Chris is your luckier. You know what's so funny is we were working with someone the other day and we were talking about Seth and Reps, and he goes, Should I do six or should I do seven?

1:10:56 And it was me and another girl who's I think she's 23. We both looked at each other and went six. I thought we were leaving this in 2025. Why why is it still around? It's been brought to 2026. Have you guys seen? Probably not. Do you know the one, two, three release them? I don't know what that is. Well, we're done with this. I gotta share it with you guys. Um, so those are both fives for me. How do you guys feel? Taylor obviously hates it because she left. Oh, can you not see me when I do this? Nope. Chris, how do you feel? I don't like depressing songs.

1:11:37 Oh, fair enough. I don't like to cry. It depends on the mood I'm in. If I already know I'm crying, then I'll listen to them. However, I will give them a five. I love storytelling, sad or happy. Yeah. And they just have very, very good stories. Um you love a story. Taylor, this next one used to devastate you. Devastate me, dude. Coming in at number three is I oh my gosh. It a 15-year-old Taylor is going through it. Where are you? And I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I cannot dream tonight.

1:12:19 I need somebody in always. It's a great song. It is a beautiful song. I will say that it is overplayed. Overplayed. Like, out of all of the songs on this list, I missed you and all the small things are the two songs that I would say are overplayed. And I will say I listened to it, like, I don't want to say because it is a great song, but I the amount of times Zill and I just go, Where are you? Yeah, it's more of it's more of like the like nobody listens to photograph. You just say, look at this graph. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like nobody listens to photograph. Nobody sits down and is like, let me listen to photograph. Like, I don't know anyone who gets past the first three lines of I miss you.

1:13:03 Yeah. Um, still though, it's a five. It's a five for me. I like that Chris is sitting back so we can see his shirt. I'm sitting, but I'm sitting back so my back doesn't hurt as bad. Yeah, right. The poor guy he's like, we're an hour and 12 into this guy. I will say, with because I can't really see with my glasses because I need a stronger prescription, so it just looks like it says dealer, dealer, dealer. I think that's really funny. Um, I had to take out my contacts today in the car. Dylan was driving, but I could my head hurt so bad, and it looked like I've never done acid, but I assume that's what it looks like.

1:13:46 Because I couldn't see cars, I just saw lights, lights, lights, lights. I've never done acid, but it's just like that. But it I don't know I said it, I assume it's like that. Um coming in at number two, we have my favorite song. Five. Damn it. Yes. Five so good. Five. It's alright to tell me what you think about me. It's alright. It's alright to argue. I won't hold it against you against you a daylight, a buck short.

1:14:28 I'm riding, a small horse, a report, a passport, go short. Failing now. Um yeah, it's a it's a five. It's a five. Five. Oh, it's such a good song. Remember, I played it for a talent show? Yeah. With uh with Corey Snow. Shout out Corey Snow, wherever you're at, big guy. In the snow. So I've heard. Um, what do you guys think? Number one is actually, I'm not even gonna ask. You don't know. I don't know. Don't think you guys even know this song.

1:15:09 That's crazy. I don't think you know part one or part two of this song. You definitely don't know part two. You might know part one, but you definitely don't know part two. Isn't there a part three? There is a part three. Coming in at No, I do I do know this, um, only because I just saw it on my Spotify when I was looking up Link Winnie Two Subs. Coming in at number one, we have Anthem Part 2. Specifically part two. That's so random. I agree. I don't I don't know how they pulled this data. I really don't. No, they're wrong. Unless like Blink fans are super into this song, and maybe I'm just missing something.

1:15:51 It's a good song. It's another one of those deeper, like meaningful songs. Yeah. Um I believe this one was written by Mark Hoppis. Like, I think he was the main songwriter on this one. Um and uh yeah, it's it's more of like a like meaningful, deep, like sadder side of blink. And I just I can't believe it's number one. Like that's crazy. Yeah, dude. People love it for some reason. I will give it a five though. Um, I'll give it, I'll give it a three. Four. Four.

1:16:32 I'm how do I oh here we are. I'm really mad that it's not what I wanted it to be. So it gets point stocked. Fair enough. Um, so, anyways, that is your top ten blink 182 songs for the one and only Blink 182 episode. We should have dressed up as Blink 182. Do you guys want to try this again tomorrow? We should do that for Halloween this year. Missed opportunity. Oh, there is it's a trio, Taylor. You've got to be Travis Barker, yeah, of course. And then uh Chris can be Courtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Chloe Kardashian, not Courtney.

1:17:15 Chris would have to be Tom DeLong because he's our resident alien guy, Tom Nook, and I kind of look like a fat Mark Hoppas, so I would be Mark Hoppas. Shut up. Um the one guy looks like your record guy. Yeah, Mark Hoppas. Looks like Eric from the record store. Yeah, I'm glad that you can't do that. If Eric, if Eric uh didn't do drugs, yeah, I agree with you. Um, how's Eric doing since you guys moved? I think he's doing good. I think he's doing good. I was supposed to do, yeah, I was supposed to do an event for him tonight, um, but I haven't heard from him, so I'm assuming that got canceled. Probably because of the snow.

1:17:55 Anywho. Hey, I thought we were gonna do the three amigos. Oh, you're right. We did say we were gonna be Z Top. I'm down, I just need glasses. No, you have to be Fred Beard. Fun fact, Fred Beard. Fred Beard, the drummer for Z Top. Fun fact, he's his last name is Beard, and he's the only one without a beard. Taylor left again. I'm looking it up. I'm looking it up. Oh, so I did not think about this when asked, what's new? So I am an uncle of oh yeah, I forgot.

1:18:37 My baby sister and her husband had their first child. Shout out to them. Yes, congratulations. Shout out to Casey and Chris and my nephew Wayland. Wayland, like Jennings, yes. Wayland Jennings. That is so funny, and he is adorable. Oh drapers, see, not all babies are cute. I'm not gonna lie. Agreed. I have some kids that were not cute babies, or if they were cute babies, they were cute the way like pugs are cute. Like a little ugly. They're so ugly. Now they're beautiful. Now they're beautiful now that they're older, but baby wise, you gotta you gotta grow into it.

1:19:22 I I don't think any babies come out looking cute. You gotta baby. I don't know, dude. You you've seen Adam when he was a baby baby. Yeah, but you know when I came out cute as fuck. I mean, he he did come out really cute, but that's because he was a bajillion pouch. Do you know what I mean? Like the thicker the baby comes out, I mean he was full grown, dude. He came out ready to start. He was like, yo, like he came to 1K. Like it was crazy. Do you have baby pictures you can send in the group chat? Uh yes, yes, I do. Please do send. So that's all. Congratulations to fun fact. Um, we know someone who has a baby named Weyland, and our younger cousin refused to call him Wayland and would only call him Walt.

1:20:11 I don't remember that. Um, Schmilo. Oh Schmilo's cousin is named Wayland, and she goes, I'm just calling him Walt for short. I don't know what's up with this Wayland business.
