Samples of Sin - Velvet Underground
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.

Shut up Gail - Paul Vato
Sheeeeeeeee's Baaaaaa-aaaack! This month, Gail interviews one of the two comedians responsible for creating Gail and making her "Podfest" famous. As the story goes, during an improvised podcast set at the late-night Podfest '25 Comedy Showcase, Billy Merritt (Episode 1) and Paul Vato kept yelling at their producer Gail to stop interrupting them and to "shut up." All in character, of course, they are lovely guys who would never treat their producer that way. Anywhoodles, "Gail" produces and edits the BIT's podcasts but steps out of the sound booth and onto the mic to bring listeners a behind-the-scenes look at BIT. Paul Vato is a true Renaissance Man - he's an accomplished comedian (stand-up and improv), character actor, cigar entrepreneur, and even has his own NFT called "VATO COIN." They cover a lot of ground so hold on to your butt, and enjoy! Gail has a great season lined up, so come back on the 8th of each month for a new "snack-sized" episode of SHUT UP GAIL. COMING SOON!

In Episode 3, Justice Smythe invites his old friend Blakeford O. Donovan to review Liz Phair’s Exile in Guyville. Justice and Blakeford first met thirty-some years ago, at a Liz Phair show in a basement bar in Chicago. Justice was only there because he thought there was a religious service. Despite its “canine language,” Exile in Guyville finds emotional resonance with Justice, who knows the feeling of being an outsider, and Blakeford, who recalls his own libertine days. Justice mixes up the album’s producer Brad Wood with the Brad Wood who starred in several adult films that Justice has never seen, while Blakeford waxes wise on monogamy and steel.

Samples of Sin (Ep 2) Chappell Roan
From the creative innards of Konrad Andrew comes Samples of Sin: Warning listeners about sinful music, saving them from the ever-present risk of listening to fallen music. Why must the Devil have the best tunes? The Very Reverend Justice Smythe, chairman and chief prophylactic of the River Creek Family Values Coalition, is here to help. In each episode, a special guest joins Justice Smythe. Justice and his guests are 100% guaranteed to be musical, cultural, and theological experts, not just making stuff up—that would be ungodly. In our second episode, Justice Smythe invites his niece Melody Smythe to help him review Chappell Roan's album Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. Her name is Chappell, and she's from the same state as Rush Limbaugh and Burt Bacharach -- what could go wrong? Justice admits to being gripped by an unholy spirit when the album's beat drops. Like Chappell Roan, he doesn't mind stoners (as per Deuteronomy 17:2). He does need some explanation of the album's liturgy, and ever-patient, ever-wise-beyond-her-years Melody uncomfortably explains.

Justice Smythe is joined by weathered band roadie Montgomery Von Wildenfoort, or as he's known on the road, "Sparky." They discuss the album Pleased to Meet Me by a bunch of Minnesotan hooligans calling themselves "The Replacements." Are they seeking to replace church? Despite the album's overwhelmingly sinful nature, it does at least redeem itself by reminding us that Jesus is a non-smoker.
