Amidst playful banter, Milt's love-hate relationship with certain tracks and Dave's critique of James Taylor’s style surface. By the way, a robot wrote this recap. Could you tell? I bet you couldn’t. The robots are winning. Kneel before us, humans. You have no chance. Anyway, the episode teems with humorous anecdotes, fascinating trivia—including John Loudermilk's fabricated story—an AI-generated musical playdate, and even a song substitution challenge featuring The James Gang.
