  Effect and Cause ft. Discord Addams

  Aug 18, 202657 min

  Effect and Cause is the final song on the White Stripes' album Icky Thump and, subsequently, the final song of the band's album discography. Ryan and Discord discuss the song's clever wordplay and the underlying story Jack is trying to tell about being in a relationship where two people are not at their best, though one person possesses some self-awareness. They also discuss the parallels between the White Stripes, the characters Jack and Meg created, and the world of drag. How does this song serve as the band's post-meal palate cleanser? They discuss! Discord Addams recently competed in 18th season of the iconic RuPaul's Drag Race, and you can watch her webseries FUCK THIS on WOWPresents' YouTube channel.

  Lord, Send Me An Angel ft. Courtney Presto

  Aug 4, 20261h 13m

  "Nobody sang the blues like Blind Willie McTell." Jack White said it best, and in late 2000, the White Stripes released an amalgamation of two of McTell's songs, "Lord, Send Me an Angel" and "Ticket Agent Blues." Ryan and Courtney discuss the song, Blind Willie McTell's influence on Jack and Meg's music, and the White Stripes' ambitious tour of Japan, New Zealand, and Australia. Courtney also provides tremendous analysis of the White Stripes' album artwork, including a deep dive into the artwork for this single. Courtney Presto is a branding director whose incredible content explores the visual language of music through colour and design. Follow her on Instagram .

  30 Hours in Chicago

  Jul 27, 20261h 19m

  After receiving an invitation to an exclusive event featuring Jack White at Reverb in Chicago, Ryan hopped aboard a red-eye flight, made his way to Goose Island, and did what we've all been waiting more than a year for him to do: ask Jack White to be a guest on the podcast. Ryan is joined by the podcast's assistant editorial producer, and his wife, Amanda, to talk about the whirlwind trip to Chicago, meeting Jack White, and finding a way into his sold-out show at The Salt Shed. Hosted and produced by Ryan Schaap Artwork: Catlin Likely Assistant Editorial Producer: Amanda Schultz Hey!

  The Denial Twist ft. Josh Custodio

  Jul 14, 20261h 14m

  The Denial Twist was the third and final single from 2005's Get Behind Me Satan and the final White Stripes music video directed by Michel Gondry. Ryan and Josh discuss the demo recordings of the melody and piano riff captured on Jack White's handheld tape recorder, whether the song felt incomplete according to Pitchfork's review, and how the music video sparked the next chapter in the friendship between Jack, Meg, and Conan O'Brien. Josh Custodio is the host of the fantastic Wrestling Brain Twitch stream. His Patreon does not disappoint either.

  Offend in Every Way ft. Kyle Rosse

  Jun 23, 20261h 19m

  An interesting track off 2001's White Blood Cells, "Offend In Every Way" tells the akward teenage story of not being able to fit in anywhere while battling with imposter syndrome. Ryan and Kyle have a lively discussion about the themes of this song, how it works more as a diary entry of Jack White's younger life, and not a tale written in retrospect. Kyle Rosse is the host of the ' Hey Smiling Strange ' podcast and created Klubhouse - the version of fantasy football built around more trades, more decisions, more reasons to keep playing in October.
