About this listen
We own up to a Groundhog Day blind spot, tighten some dangling facts, and then sink into why Taxi’s Jim episodes still crackle. A Rancid “Old Friend” cover closes the loop as we talk chords, bass lines, and making music under pressure.
• what Corrections Corner is for and why details matter
• how telenovelas, The Soup, and misheard names reveal media memory
• why Taxi works: ensemble chemistry, Bob James’s theme, physical comedy
• Elegant Iggy’s class jokes and gentle dignity
• Jim The Psychic’s panic farce and prophecy setup
• Reverend Jim’s DMV test and the long yellow‑light gag
• Cooley High as a “hard PG” time capsule
• Rancid context, Matt Freeman’s bass, and song structure
• choosing covers, B‑sides, and soundtrack pairings
• the creative grind of recording and what we learned
