We also became the best podcast about Saturday Night Live and SNL50. Then, we had to go to New York's most exclusive club for some canapes and dress code dilemmas.

But before we get to the music, we're cracking open a 30-pack of Hamm's and talking about martial arts movies and the best James Bond. We also become the best podcast about video games when we cover Goldeneye, The Oregon Trail, and Drug Wars. Then we share some Eagles trivia, Gen Z kinks, and the best mini-bar snacks. We also experience a celebrity run-in, but we're playing it cool.

 

Then, at (54:00), we head to some poor places and cover Wilco's fourth studio album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. We discuss the documentary about the album, the beeps and boops all over it, and the best albums rejected by their initial record labels.
