Ep007 - The All-American Rejects' Self-Titled Album

The guys talk about their fellow Oklahomies, The All-American Rejects, and their self-titled debut album from 2002. And what a pop-tastic album it is, indeed!

• Split versions of songs
• The All-American Rejects were actually never featured on the TV show, Scrubs - Side note, the day after we recorded this episode, Sam Lloyd, who played Ted the lawyer on the show, died. :(
• Mark Hoppus’ tweet about writing the lyrics “She Said” all the time
• The mid-tempo ballads Blake was specifically thinking about from the 2006 show he and Kris were at were Straightjacket Feeling and It Ends Tonight
• The word “away” appears 31 times on this album. The words “a way” also appear 6 times. That averages out to 3.36 times per song. 
• While editing, Blake realized that “singularily” is not a word. He apologizes. 
• Happy Endings was not a single. Blake’s dumb. 
• They do play Happy Endings live, but much earlier in the set than we would’ve thought. 
• Tyson’s interview about The Last Song, written in the 11th hour in the studio for this album
• Blake’s memory wasn’t completely wrong. They did, in fact, play The Last Song before the encore the last time he saw AAR live.
