On this special episode of The Mixtape, we’re joined by the brilliant Ellen Reid of Crash Test Dummies to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their landmark album God Shuffled His Feet. Ellen takes us behind the scenes of the album’s creation, its unexpected place in pop culture history, and how the band ended up soundtracking the cult comedy Dumb and Dumber.

But that's not all — Ellen shares a hilarious and unforgettable story about how she would seduce her husband with the Benny Hill theme song. Yes, really.

We also dive into Ellen’s personal musical journey as she builds an imaginary mixtape, revealing the songs that shaped her life, inspired her career, and still move her today.

🎧 Tune in for nostalgia, laughter, and a celebration of one of the most unique voices in '90s alt-pop.
