Send us a message and get a shoutout! We're back!  The Formidable Opponents comeback episode is us picking up like we never left… except now we’re a little more self-aware, slightly more reflective, and still very unsure how long we were actually gone. Same chemistry, same rhythms, and the comforting realization that the hardest part wasn’t coming back, it was figuring out how to wrap it up. Call it muscle memory, call it nostalgia, or call it refusing to let a good conversation end. Either way, we’re back, we’re warmed up, and we definitely hit record before overthinking Listen to what we've been up to and our takes on concerts, aging, Quentin Tarantino and honoring the great Catherine O' Hara.

Send us a message and get a shoutout! This week, we’re diving into the world of Blink-182—pop-punk legends, purveyors of juvenile humor, and the soundtrack to your youth....and perhaps a terrible breakup or 6 (hopefully you got those CDs back). Which song is their absolute best? Is it a tearjerker or a high-energy anthem? Expect passionate viewpoints, unnecessary air drumming, and at least one of us questioning our life choices after trying to hit Tom DeLonge’s high notes. Tune in as we discuss, debate, and probably derail the conversation into Blink’s most absurd lyrics.  Because, let’s be honest—what does "work sucks, I know" really mean on a philosophical level?   "Where are yewwww?!"  You're right here with us as Formidable Opponents debate and discuss "Best Blink-182 Song."   Support the show Reach out to us and follow us: [email protected] (Contact us) https://formidableopponents.buzzsprout.com/ (Website) @Fopponents (Twitter) formidable_opponents (Instagram) FormidableOpponents (Facebook) @formidableopponents (Tik Tok) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/foropponents (Show us some love) Merchandise https://formidableopponents.creator-spring.com/ Cover art by Creative Little Pill https://www.instagram.com/creativelittlepill/ https://creative-little-pill.creator-spring.com/ Magic Mind https://www.magicmind.com/opponents

Fire up the dial-up,  because today we're once again tackling 90s music! These are the songs that blasted onto the scene and made artists instant icons, whether they changed music forever or just gave us a catchy tune to sing along to in our cars, alone, with the windows rolled up...and perhaps looking off into the distance, acting like you're in the damn video.
