  • Samples of Sin - Velvet Underground
    Jun 1 2025

    The fifth episode warns listeners not to listen to Velvet Underground's White Light White Heat.

    Gary Griswold, from River Creek Gas & Charcoal, joins Rev. Justice Smythe to recall that unlike most people who listened to White Light White Heat, Gary did not start a band -- but he did start a gas grill dealership. Gary and Justice review all six of the album's very sinful tracks, emphasizing the importance of listeners devotedly not listening to any of them, and Justice casually mentions that he likes to dress up sometimes.

    Justice Smythe - Konrad Andrew
