In this high-octane episode, Mookie Spitz takes listeners back to the chaotic pulse of the mid-90s with one of his favorite pieces from his Metro Mookie days. Sir Speedie, Lord of Crystal and Duke of Meth, is a fever dream of a story about a man who bends time, stretches space, and lives four days’ worth of life in one manic, drug-fueled sprint.
Through Speedie’s wild eyes, we experience a world where sleep is irrelevant, every moment is maximized, and existence becomes a dizzying equation of energy, stimulants, and relentless experience. The tale captures the dangerous allure of speed—both the drug and the lifestyle—where the boundaries between productivity and self-destruction blur into a haze of neon nights and endless days.
As Speedie pushes himself beyond human limits, Mookie’s narrative morphs into a meditation on time itself—how we use it, waste it, and try to outrun it. A fleeting encounter with an old man moving impossibly fast punctuates the madness, a haunting reminder that no matter how much we accelerate, time always wins.
Tune in for a ride through the 90s underground, where the rush is everything, the crash is inevitable, and the clock never stops ticking.
