In this episode Tom and Ty sit down for a late-night session and attempt to decipher the strangeness that is Styx's 1983 sci-fi classic, Mr. Roboto. With their beer goggles on, they prove that they are just men whose circumstances went beyond their control: Tom flees for Panama on a horse with no name on the run from those Damn Yankees while Ty searches for a heart of gold, only to discover his moonlight desires. Join the humanoids as they try to unpack whether machines will save our lives or if they dehumanize. Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto!

As the boyz delve into the New Seeker's "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" made famous by Coca-Cola, they discuss the fine line between making a living in the music industry and selling out. In the process they question the legitimacy of a message delivered by your corporate sponsor and grapple with the deeper question of whether a harmony can exist without a melody.
