Yeah, that's what's so brilliant about it to me. It's pretty blatantly about the Holocaust, but when Kyle guilelessly says it's about "um, you know, fame and stuff," you can absolutely believe that's what he intended.

Totally. After failing all night to even talk to porn girls (while Kyle is having no problems chatting them up), he just leans right into his true self. Nope, he's not gonna pretend to be OK with her mixing of fantasy with sci-fi just so he can finally get laid. He's gonna give her the same scorn he'd give anybody…

Either that one or Steve Guttenberg's Birthday takes the Best Episode title. So fucking good.

"So which one is the surprise? What? That she gets bunch of jizz on her face and she wasn't expecting it, or that once the jizz is on her face, she finds that she actually likes it?"

I loved Roman's regretful sigh before he tells the porn actress that she's into kiddie bullshit, not sci-fi. I also loved the porn actress saying, "That's from earlier when my heart didn't work, so…now I have a monkey heart."

"You missed Karma Rocket, which is to say you missed some powerful Aryan energy."

Any Aly is the best Aly, for Aly is the best.

Yeah, if artists refuse to license, I'm still totally into that. Good on 'em for maintaining some artistic integrity. I guess I'm just less hardline about it than I used to be, in part because I'm older, and in part because the parameters of a music career are way different now.

I saw an interview with Sir Mix-A-Lot a while back where he talked about "we made such a big deal about how important it is to own your masters, own your publishing, not let anybody else control your music, but if you own all of that and don't do anything with it, then what's the point?" He was specifically referring…

Yeah, I felt like 90 was the best of the bunch and the de facto standard: You could really delve into themes and such, but you didn't belabor them. And, as you note, the physical durability of 90s was better. I did some 120s here and there back in my mixtape days…they were OK, but they were kind of like the needless…

You are 100% correct. And you also had to fill up as much of each side as possible—no minute-long silence at the end. So you needed to have a good arsenal of short pieces: Punk songs, rap interludes, comedy bits, that sort of thing.

The music licensing thing is very real. As old revenue streams dry up, licensing is an increasingly important way to make money off music.

Anywhere you go, step 1 is to find the record stores/secondhand stores.

"I'm going to allow this."

I love this show, and this is probably the best episode. The whiskey review is classic material. "That drink needs to calm itself down…that drink might die alone if it doesn't just shut the fuck up pretty soon."

They saw this episode of "The Katering Show" and didn't realize it's a joke: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Yeah, ST is very much in the "if I'm flipping channels, and this movie is on, then I'm watching it" realm. Love that flick.

Dizz all day.

Oh shit, Anaconda was 1997? I thoroughly enjoyed that flick.

That "looking in a mirror" quote is solid fucking gold.
