Summary

We've been very happy that you, the fans, have enjoyed Britainology so much. In an attempt to bridge the gap between our two cultures, Nate has brought on two fellow Midwesterners (Francis Horton from Hell of a Way, a native of St. Louis, Missouri; Joe Kassabian from Lions Led by Donkeys, a native of Detroit, Michigan) to flip the script on Milo. Now it's the good-natured Midwestern oafs in the driver's seat, and we explain the name of the region itself, why ICP had such appeal to our generation, and why literally everyone has a driving-while-intoxicated story involving being thrown out of someone's house. If you want the whole thing, get it on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/50260277 We support the London Renters Union, which helps people defeat their slumlords and avoid eviction.

That's the weird part.

0:22.0

I think the part for me, because I was an ICP fan growing up, I grew up dirt poor.

0:27.2

To a level of poverty, I don't think I've seen in the United States until I moved to Hawaii.

0:34.8

Like single parent, you know, sometimes you're having sleep for dinner.

0:39.6

We didn't have Christmas, things like that.

0:42.5

And I see, you know, like if you had pop or soda, whatever the fuck you call it at home,

0:48.0

you had Fago because you could buy a three liter for 75 cents.

0:52.9

And, you know, ICP in general, you know, they grew up white trash and

0:58.1

poor too. So like they use that as their aesthetic. And they said like, you know, effectively,

this is what the juggos were. It's like, you know, lyrics aside, nobody really gives a shit.

1:10.4

Everybody overlooks all

1:11.6
