Description

Did trouble-making youth outside the gas station inspire this song? Yes. Yes they did.

Hardcore drummer and film producer Matt Kerr joins the podcast to discuss "I Think I Smell A Rat" off of 2001's White Blood Cells. 

The song is a live staple, a personal favourite of Jack White, and one of the most unique songs in the White Stripes' catalogue. Ryan and Matt discuss the song's origins as old interview quotes provide insight into the song. 

Listen to Matt play drums in Terrifying Girls' High School , check out the Hot Action Podcast, and be sure to check out the fantastic film Riceboy Sleeps.
