·1 hr 5 min·5 clips

Scrump describes getting patted down by cops while buying milk, with his friend's ringtone playing 'I Ain't Going Back to Jail'.

Scrump and Drew open the episode by teasing their upcoming review of the film Enora on their Patreon show, Family Video, and debating whether originality in movies is dead. Scrump shares a story about finding his old iPod shuffle from before 2008, which lacked Atmosphere but had Lil Wayne and Three 6 Mafia, leading to nostalgia about music discovery. They discuss how they find new music through TikTok and albums, with Scrump preferring to listen to full albums by new artists. The hosts play a 'This Day in History' segment, picking songs from February 1993, including Celine Dion's 'The Power of Love' and Ace of Base's 'The Sign'. Scrump recounts a humorous story from eighth grade where he and his friend Ivan were stopped by police while buying milk, with Ivan's ringtone playing 'I Ain't Going Back to Jail' by Project Pat during the pat-down. They reflect on influential teachers, such as Mrs. Lawrence who helped channel Scrump's ADHD, and Mr. Jones, an old English teacher who later revealed he was gay when Scrump met him at a movie theater. Music picks include 'Elimination Chamber' by Domo Genesis featuring Earl Sweatshirt, Vince Staples, and Action Bronson, tied to WWE's Elimination Chamber event. Other songs discussed are 'Tunnel Vision' by Kodak Black, 'Banquet' by Bloc Party, '48 Roses' by Mariachi El Bronx, 'Gupnik' by DJ Blatman, and 'S.O.B.' by Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. The episode includes tangents on dating apps, language learning, and travel mishaps with Southwest Airlines. They close by promoting their Patreon content and sharing a TikTok anecdote about a strip club.
