Every time I try so hard I get nothin' and at this point I don't f***ing care anymore. At least, that's how we're interpreting the song "Nothin'" from the album Turn the Radio Off.

It's not me, it's you. You're the problem. It couldn't be me because you're the asshole and you're the reason I'm not having any fun. But here's the good news: Jesse Wilder (The Scholars/Goodwin Club/Blu Aux) is here to give his insights and share some old school Reel Big Fish stories with us as we discuss "Everyone Else Is An Asshole" from the 2012 album Candy Coated Fury.
