Ryan Haas’ polite drum strokes open the 131st Love Drunk episode methodically. For the installment that marks the video series’ fifth year in action, there will be no firework finale.

Watch Klemmensen and The Party at full strength below, indulging the breakdowns and bold sentiments that characterize their new album, Party All Night.
