1:57 - Here's the remarkably vintage and silly video for Devo's "Jocko Homo"

2:30 - What is Steve talking about?! Why it's a short film he and his brothers made ages ago called "Fun With Fitness" for a work contest

5:45 - The contest is not still on. Sorry!

11:45 - Steve is HILARIOUSLY wrong, as Private Life is indeed a hard rock band

25:27 - So Doug tremendously stumped Steve with this comic reference to The Darkness - did you get it?

28:23 - Here's the First Listen article on "Olympia" by NPR

35:29 - Austra did wind up releasing another album in 2017 called Future Politics
