The VW/TC Zeitgeist

Ezra's ASIBU v-neck

"Time Crisis, back again. Guess what, TC Heads - I finally saw A Star Is Born. I stepped into the ASIBU, and I left a piece of my heart there. On this week's episode, we get some great fan submissions. We read an email from Beto O'Rourke that I thought was a personal one, but went out to millions of people. And we also count down the top hits of today and 1991. This is Time Crisis."

Ezra begins by talking about Vampire Weekend's 11-minute cover of Bob Dylan's "Jokerman", and also announces that he has finally seen A Star Is Born. At the screening of the film, he acquired a v-neck shirt which sparks conversation on sleep shirts and niche merch (this is also the origin of the Jake Wikipedia shirt idea which was later made by fans). The Crew return once again to Steve Miller's heinous dissing of the Dead and listen to the newest Patrickworld track. A listener email proposes that VW fans be called "vochos" and Ezra discusses Vampire Weekend's history with Mexico. He then reads through Beto's epic email about the end of his campagin for governor. The Top Five sees a tangent on a blue m&ms/'blue lives matter' t-shirt and what the real world is called outside of the MCU. After a Prince deep dive, Ariana Grande's new track sparks a chat on being grateful, and the Crew renames Thanksgiving to Gratefulsgiving.
