Oh man, Julian is back on his shiiiiiiz again. Let me ask you this, friendly listener; How are you listening to this podcast? Is it over a streaming service? Yeah...I thought so. Don't worry, Matt shares your frustration. 

In his latest bid to be completely disowned by his southern upbringing, Matt decides to really pour out his unreasonable (and probably way too personal) dislike of that ol' southern upgrade for literally any type of food; Ranch Dressing. And Julian? Well, Julian looks on and listens in utter disgust. 

Okay, to be fair, Julian doesn't hate Taylor Swift as a person. He just can't stand the freaking media monolith her brand has become. Why? Because he honestly just doesn't care about his Reputation. Eh? Eh? Hope you like song puns. If not, Speak Now. I mean...Call it What You Want, but truly, You Belong With...us. Let's just get into it and see if we get out Safe and Sound. Okay, for real, that's enough. 

...Teardrops On My Guitar. 

What do you do when two bands that you like release new singles relatively close to each other, and both bands are eternally tied to each other in a unique way because the singer of one band used to be the singer in the other band but then he started his own band and the old band continued with a new singer and you don't hate either of them, but it's just crazy and you need to podcast about it? You record and present a brand new little happy called "My Buddy Hates That...Hot Takes!" (Hence the different colored square). Today the buddies bring you...Blink 182 vs. Angels and Airwaves.

For the finale in our special "Matt Actually Hates Stuff" series, the buddies decide to really burn some rubber and each other, driving headlong into Matt's utter dislike of NASCAR. Julian, who also isn't really a fan, brings in special guest Brandon Long to help dissect what makes driving around in circles for hours a worthwhile Sunday afternoon. Can Brandon convince the boys that the checkered flag is worth it, or will it all just spin out of control and waste tons of gas? Start your engines, friends. 

For the second installment in our "Matt Actually Hates Stuff" series, Julian stealthily slithers his way into Matt's greatest hatred and fear: Snakes. 'Nuff said.

Just in time for Easter/ Holy Week/ Spring, we have a pastel colored, freshly bloomed episode for you. Have you ever wanted to celebrate this holiday or season with family or friends, only to have it decimated by the inclusion of one of the worst candies every created by man? Matt has, and in this episode he tells Julian (the fair one with the small mind) all about it. 

We need your help! Matt just doesn't hate things enough. Julian decides it's time to make a desperate plea to all (both) of our listeners for topics that Matt could potentially hate, and lays out a plan (some might even say a scheme) that could change everything for the My Buddy Hates That! Podcast.  Can you help out? Message the buddies on facebook or over on twitter with your topic ideas.

Why exactly do our favorite bands just up and decide to break up? Or, and worse yet, go on an "indefinite hiatus?" Why leave your fanbase in the lurch by being so vague and ominous (especially when most bands just get back together in a few short years)? What's with all the drama? Well, as you can imagine, one of our buddies (JULIAN) hates it. So, Matt (despite being in a band that is currently on indefinite hiatus) brings in an expert little tyrant to help his day late friend Julian understand the stranger ways of the band break(up) and why you can truly never take friendship personal. It's just impossible. 

Special thanks to our friend Stephen from the incredible and recently reunited Anberlin! Check out everything going on with him and the band on their social media: @christianmusic @anberlin 

It's our first official "Reactions" episode! When the buddies receive quite a bit of feedback to their respective takes on Country Music, well...let's just say it seems they're both going to be hittin' Amarillo by morning.
