  • Summary

  • It’s the episode where **Andrew Culture** and Dr. Sam somehow make an entire hour of toilet chat, dodgy sampling, and musical rambling sound like a work of art. From unicorn stools (Google at your own risk) to squatting like a Baltic legend, the pair venture into a shambolic journey across music that sampled _what?!_


    Expect the unexpected as they break down:


    - **Bodsore** sounding like a black metal fever dream.

    - A British punk banger sampling Windows’ startup sound.

    - _Tricky’s_ expensive 90s sampling wizardry when only the four richest kings of Europe owned a sampler.

    - **DJ Shadow**, pre-_Endtroducing_, and _Prodigy’s_ cheeky meow-powered rave anthem.

    - A bizarre mashup of _Biggie Smalls_ and Thomas the Tank Engine.


    Oh, and Andrew once owned a wardrobe from a public toilet. As you do.


    So get ready to question your music taste, learn more about squat angles than you ever asked for, and celebrate the ridiculousness of samples that make you yell: _They sampled WHAT?!_
