Hey friends! That's right people I'm dragging you into blink hell again for 2 hours. This time we cover the Take Off Your Pants and Jacket era (2000-2002). Things descend into drunken chaos (blink would be proud) as J and I raise our gins (audible ice clinking) to the blink boys once again. Join us as we discuss how adorable, authentic and chaotic the band are on numerous early 00's MTV documentaries/interviews. On the 'Road Home' J gets impregnated by Tom and I fall deeper into a 'flat abyss' of love with Mark's self deprecation. Listen in real time as J was today years old before discovering the rude "pun" of the TOYPAJ album title. We then look back with love and bitter-sweet nostalgia on the last time everything was beautiful and innocent between the boys. The cracks between ToMark begin to appear as the coinciding birth of Boxcar Racer and the events of 9/11 shake the foundations within the band and the world...TBC... J & N xoxo
