Sure, it’s our 46th but it’s Lenny’s 50th. Our co-host misses his 3rd show – but he’s got a good excuse – he had one of those bigger birthdays that everyone’s having. So, Jake and Tyler put together a playlist just for him. Maybe you too. Also, Tyler blew it in the first break – just blew it. The referenced podcast is called We Will Rank You – not We Will Rate You – Some fan he is. Also, the song is called “The Man Don’t Give A Fuck” – not The Man Doesn’t Give A Fuck. We here at The Casual Sound apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
