Dave and Milt jump back to February 21, 1976, to explore the Billboard Top 10 hits. The duo analyzes songs ranging from ELO's 'Evil Woman' and the Eagles' 'Take It to the Limit' to disco classics like Donna Summer's 'Love to Love You Baby' and Hot Chocolate's 'You Sexy Thing.' They introduce a playful segment featuring AI-generated Milt as a quizmaster. Songs are substituted, moments from TV and film are highlighted, and nostalgic stories are shared, all culminating in Paul Simon's classic '50 Ways to Leave Your Lover' being crowned the top hit of the week.
