Plus, we talk about the perils of online dating, and dig deep on Jenny's love of Strawberry Shortcake and the rest of her badass crew, which also includes Lemon Meringue and Blueberry Muffin.

  • Renting VHS Tapes? (Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service)
    Jun 15 2026

    Our pal Ben Gibbard from Death Cab For Cutie and The Postal Service is back on the podcast to dig a little deeper into his formative years. From waking up super early in the morning for swim practice to working during the summer as a lifeguard to now having his own signature running shoe, is this guy athletic or what? We also discuss his affinity for heavy music, the "shirt over another shirt" fashion trend of the nineties and what it was like to hang out in Seattle at the same cultural landmarks that were featured in the classic film, "Singles." We also get into the topic of renting movies from Hollywood Video, Ben's friend Matt's neverending search for a missing copy of "Hellraiser 3" and Mike Myers' unstoppable film steak in the nineties. Finally we play a round YESTALGIA OR NOSTALGIA where we discuss the return of the Nike Moon Shoe, the merits of Diet Coke Lime and does the world really need Dunkin Donuts' Cereal N' Milk latte? (Probably not.) Be sure to check out Death Cab For Cutie's latest album "I Built You A Tower," which is out now and catch them on tour this summer!
