Vicky: I've told you about my friend that went into the stripping trade, right? She called herself "Berkeley Stanford."
Matthew: "The Stripping Trade."
That's a song from the Decemberists' forthcoming raunchy club record.
Vicky: "Sixteen Military Wives" appears again, but with wildly different lyrics.
Matthew: Yes, it's Colin Meloy fucking his way through war widows, each one kinkier than the last.
Berkeley Stanford? Is it weird that the first thing I thought of was Jessie Spano? (Who was played by Elizabeth Berkeley, and aspired to go to Stanford. And as we all know, Lizzy went on to star in Showgirls? THIS IS A HUGE COINCIDENCE.)
