At the Disco, Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmer, The Alan Parsons Project, Maroon 5, Cheat Codes, Danny Gokey, Entombed, and Leo Moracchioli

Recording on Father's Day, Joe engages in some dad breathing while Charlesanne yells at him for never having listened to Yes.

While Joe edits Episode 3, listen to us bullshit about movies for 20 minutes.

Charlesanne and Joe again attempt to be entertaining, but mainly just curse at each other while listening to music. Family therapy, folks.
