    First heard what do you mean driving home from a late night at work driving home through farmland in northern Illinois. It was the perfect sound track for being emotional worn driving fast on a long straight road in late dusk.

    I just figured out why I can't stop seeing you as an adversary even as I've grown to genuinely appreciate you and your art/content. You're a Backstreet Boys fan, and I'm an NSync – well… I'm an NSync fan the way I'm a 49ers fan. I'd always choose a different sport/genre of music, but I have a strong, but shallow opinion.

    Stitches it's the only song I literally agree with Todd lol. It's pretty annoying. Shawn Mendes it's not bad, but this song… Just no. I like the beat of What Do You Mean?, ngl. I don't mind at all the lyrics if the song has a catchy beat. I listen to music to feel good and dance, not to say "This song has good lyrics"

    Apparently, Teddy Geiger is now living their best life as a woman. She's keeping her birth name but going by she/her pronouns. So salute to Todd for not deadnaming a trans artist!

    the video for stitches cracks me up.

    directors: alright Shawn, we're gonna have this epic fight scene in this dark dirty parking deck, it'll be so sick.

    Shawn: cool, cool. so who am i gonna be fighting?

    directors: air.

    I figured the "without your kisses I'll be needing stitches" was from the whole "kissing the booboo to make it better" but I always thought I wouldn't want to kiss an open cut that needs stitching, and I guess they chose stitches because it rhymes easier

    Coming back to this, I just realized I had an immediate negative reaction to Stitches when I first heard it.

    His voice was annoying and the lyrics were basic, but I couldn't really articulate it at the time. The song just really frustrated me.

    Todd you really have the sharpest writing of any youtube reviewer imo, every single video, even outdated shit like this, has at least one line that makes me laugh audibly.
