Episode 163 - Say Anything, "...Is A Real Boy" (2004)

This week, we revisit (or if you're Patrick, visit it for the first time) …Is A Real Boy, the album that emotionally imprinted on us in high school and then politely refused to age perfectly. We dig into Say Anything at peak goblin energy: razor-sharp lines, maximal feelings, undeniable hooks, and a few moments that make you go, “Okay… maybe not all of it needed to be here.” It’s nostalgic, messy, still very fun, and absolutely deserving of a respectful nod rather than a full-on crown. Screaming optional. Gentle side-eye included.
