Show notes

You guys know the drill. Song facts followed by nonsense. Peace and love.

Best of 2020 May 27, 2021

Show notes

Well... we made it. We've been censored! We talk about that more in the episode. We recorded this episode back in January (yikes) so look forward to some early 2021 references that you probably already forgot about.

In this episode, we talk about our favorite music and podcasts from the year 2020, everyone's favorite year.

Other than that, we discuss fat doctors, streaming services, the Ocean movies, peeing for long periods of time, meeting celebrities, BBQ sauce, Green Day, billboards, oxymorons, the black part of the banana plus banana etiquette, Bigs Taco Bell seeds and WAP (told you this was recorded in January).

Keep calm and stay mostly true.
