Work sucks ... unless you’re singing “All the Small Things” with a sold out Padres crowd during the MLB Playoffs.

The San Diego Padres might be the hottest team in baseball as the 2024 MLB Playoffs heat up. Blink-182 is somehow still one of the hottest rock bands in the world, selling out arenas everywhere more than two decades after their peak.
