In this episode a song is being played in the background, does anyone know if this is an actually song and what the name and Artist is?

It goes something like: i'm clean but my name ain't dogie houser, man i spit that flame like my nickname was bowser....

If anyone could help with this song it would be highly appreciated, it seems to be a big mystery that no one can solve.

On the real review of the episode, it was pretty good overall. It had several references to older shows and movies which mad great connections. The fact that RJ finally stands up to Max and gets laid in the same episode is always a good watch.

This episode of Hard Times… opens with a dirty gag that cleverly simultaneously presents RJ's most pressing problem – poor writers would have settled with the dirty joke only. So, RJ needs to pass his driver's license test *and* get some wheels. The driving instruction video, "Skid Marks" is hilarious, though the overlooked 1980s comedy Moving Violations has one with an even better name… Also, that movie stars Jennifer Tilly *and* Don Cheadle, which is enough to make it worth seeing.

But I digress. The "Jenny getting bullied by Robin" plot line continues, leading to a surprising and very funny sequence where Jenny and Lily have a sleepover together. It also deepens both characters – and makes Lily finally more likable! The A-plot, however, brings us the outrageous revelation of Rick Bergers new car *and* his hidden past… There are plenty of laughs balanced with the drama of the Bergers' divorce, meaning that this is another good, 7/10 episode, but not among the best ones like #1.4, "Here's to You, Mrs. Robbins" and 1.9, "Nerd's Gone Wild". Promisingly, the preview clips at the end hint at the following episode achieving greatness...
