This week, the boys go back to pop-punk ground zero with the self-titled Ramones album—an iconic record they somehow never listened to all the way through until now. Also: failed friend bonding, an awkward confession from Jayson, the final ruling on whether Jimmy Eat World is pop punk, and more listener comments.

Next week’s album: The Used by The Used (It's the Halloween Emo Book Club special!)
