What’s up, everyone?!

Pete Wentz debuts Apple Music radio show
Pete Wentz has launched his own Apple Music radio show called Loud and Sad Radio.
Wentz explains the premise of the show: “You’ve really got to think about this as moments meeting from divergent courses, somewhere in the realm of the TV showCurb Your Enthusiasm meets the movie Drive. And this is what Loud and Sad Radio is… It doesn't have to be loud and it doesn't have to be sad, but there's some things that just have that vibe. Loud and sad is a vibe to me."
According to the press release:
The show will air live every Monday at 4:00p PST and on-demand on Apple Music Hits here.
Loud and Sad Radio will feature a weekly collection of music, ideas, interests and off the wall randomness that represents the epitome of Pete, including movies, emo, rap, punk rock, classic rock, sneakers, bad jokes, dad jokes, Twitter ephemera, and beyond.
Pete will bring the songs of the past to the forefront with a relevant lens and a sharp wit. He’ll also welcome guests to discuss the latest Tom Cruise leaked audio but play nothing but soundtrack hits.
You actually CAN judge a person by their taste in music
On Episode 32 of The All Punked Up Podcast, John and Tyler share their thoughts on new music released this week from The Offspring, Twenty One Pilots, The Maine and newly signed to Pure Noise Records band Action/Adventure.
The two of them then move to their main topic for the episode: You actually CAN judge a person by their taste in music. Taking inspiration from a study that tries to prove this topic to be true, John and Tyler try to figure out what type of people they are based on their musical interests. They then take it a step further to discuss their own significant others' tastes in music to figure out whether or not they are actually compatible with them.
Will they stay with their significant others based on their own results? Find out by listening to this episode! Just kidding... or are we?
