This week the podcast is traveling back to the year 1982 to discuss Taco and his only US hit, a cover of Irving Berlin's Puttin' on the Ritz. If that sentence is as confusing to you as it was to us, you're in the right place. All will be explained! Also in this prepisode music news of the weird, listener emails and we announce next week's album.

In this episode we discuss Tim's rapidly deteriorating body, haunted ventriloquist dolls, the angular face of Mark McGrath, knockoff lightsabers, Tim insults the Irish repeatedly, common insults for the Crips, suspicious deaths at Oasis concerts, why Tim has been removed from his weird cowboy organization, Diddy still can't leave jail, and so much more!
