Jay and Deon Discuss what it takes to outshine your own debut effort and essentially defeat the sophomore slump. The Lickers take deep dives into a few of their favorite second long player releases of all time. Along the way, some of life's most pressing questions are answered (or at least asked) like:  Would there really be a Nirvana if there was never an AC/DC? Team Blane or Team Duckie? Is Duncan Kilburn actually a sax God or is it all just smoke and mirrors? Etc, etc, etc.
