About this episode:
In this episode of Pop-Punk Book Club, the boys dive headfirst into Blink-182’s untitled (or self-titled, depending on who you ask) 2003 album—a bold step away from their previous albums, ‘Enema of the State’ and ‘Take Off Your Pants and Jacket’. They explore how the band broke away from their pop punk roots to chase something darker, moodier and more experimental—and how that shift hit them personally when they first heard it.

It’s clear they be Feeling This episode hard. Surely it’s Obvious that you’ll love it too. So, Go and move Down to the play button (actually, it’s up. I get that wrong, Always) and press lay. Oh wait, only L-A-Y? I forgot to give you the first one. So… Here’s Your Letter: P. Press play. And watch All Of This episode—it’s good.

Also in this episode: Jayson nearly took Motion City Soundtrack to hold koalas, Sam has a traumatic run-in with his coffee machine and they accidentally watch a video of a man farting in public. Jayson also introduces Sam to The Paradox (a band he found on TikTok) and once again manages to humiliate himself. It’s Blink. It’s nostalgia. It’s chaos. Let’s go.
