The boys are joined by Gabe Hostetler this week to take a trip back to middle school, which is about the time when people thought “It’s Been Awhile” by Staind was a good song. This is a doozy of a season finale as all three of the fellas livd, laughd, and lovd mightily during the episode.
Much time is spent poking fun at the ripped-off Korn riffs of early Staind, but the hosts do eventually talk about “It’s Been Awhile”, coming to the conclusion that the song is just a gray, flavorless pile of slop.
