In this One Shot double feature, Adam and Rob rewind to the early 2000s for a rare two-part music video experience from Hoobastank.

First up is their megahit ballad “The Reason,” followed by the sequel-slash-prequel video for “Same Direction,” creating an unexpected mini-heist universe packed with slow-motion reveals, undercover twists, and surprise cameos.

They dig into how a band known for post-nu-metal alt-rock dropped a surprisingly emotional single—wrapped in a cinematic car crash and safe-cracking caper—and followed it with a cop drama that might make the Ocean’s Eleven crew proud.

Here’s what we’re covering:

• Why “The Reason” looks like a heartfelt breakup ballad but plays like a short crime film

• How the emotional lyrics clash (and somehow work) with a diamond heist plot

• The twist in “Same Direction” that turns the whole story around

• Cameos from Kanye West, Chester Bennington, and Joel Madden during a band audition

• Behind-the-scenes trivia, including the MasterCard contest that led to an alternate video

Plus, Adam and Rob play a round of “Hoobastank or Incubus,” where questionable Halloween covers, early DJ use, and disaster relief tracks all come into play.

It’s a dive into an oddly ambitious music video universe—because if you’re going to drop a surprise twist ending, why not do it twice?
