Does It Slap?

Darin and Gabe discuss the wrongheadedness of trying to use the city of Mesa, Arizona to solve any problems in your relationship; they discuss what it feels like to pass out; and Gabe recalls the first time he saw, but did not meet, Darin.

Gabe thinks this song slaps. So does Darin. This is the first unanimous slap in "Does It Slap?" history.

Intro and outro music by New Junk City, who slap harder than one of those Russian slap competition guys. You know those guys? Weird stuff. Anyway, listen to New Junk City's music at newjunkcityatl.bandcamp.com. Support their art at newjunkcity.limitedrun.com.

Darin and Gabe talk about the song "Rude" by a band called "MAGIC!" Darin tries to make the case that this is the worst song ever recorded, they discuss whether the song's protagonist is worse than Mitt Romney, and they express some, let's say, concerns about the lack of agency afforded to the song's love interest.

A resounding "does not slap" from both Darin and Gabe.

Intro and outro music by New Junk City, who are more or less the polar opposite of MAGIC! Listen to their songs at [newjunkcityatl.bandcamp.com] (https://newjunkcityatl.bandcamp.com) and support their art at [newjunkcity.limitedrun.com] (https://newjunkcity.limitedrun.com).

Darin and Gabe discuss "Blame It On My Youth," a new song from Blink-182. They also talk about Pizzagate, Matt Skiba's bizarre dog food choices, and the vulnerability and loneliness of youth or something.

Darin didn't think this song slapped. Neither did Gabe.
