SiriusXM is the teets and I miss having it in my car dearly. So it was a great joy when I stole my roomie’s satellite radio-equipped vehicle this week and got to listen to actual music on the radio, eventually settling on a Motown station or soul station or whatever the fuck they call the station for black people approximately the age of Stanley Hudson.

During my hour or so in the car, I was exposed to tons of hits and deeper cuts, with one of the tracks standing far and away above the rest: Luther Ingram’s “(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don’t Want To Be Right.” If you’re not familiar with the song (and I wasn’t, despite knowing the expression, which I thought was just something you said to a pizza before eating the entire thing yourself), it is an amazing, if sometimes hilarious, declaration by a cheating man that he loves his side piece, too.

The song and fan-made YouTube video are both incredible, as we play them on air and have fun with the lyrics that get too detailed for their own good. There’s also a bit about debating how soon is too soon when it comes to social media and show spoilers (fuck “show” spoilers, we all know I’m talking Game of Thrones and its Holocaust-like body count) and close with what might be the meanest picture I’ve ever seen online. Please share the show, review us on iTunes/Stitcher and subscribe to the YouTube channel and our Twitter accounts! Did I link you to any of that? No. But it’s the Internet age. Working for it means you have to type three words into Google. So, to quote Eric Cartman, quit your bitching.
