Dave and Milt take a trip back to October 1981, analyzing the Billboard Top 10 albums of that week. They critique and celebrate albums from legendary artists like Billy Joel, Pat Benatar, The Police, Rolling Stones, and more. The duo also shares personal stories, including a car breakdown adventure that tests their friendship! Oh the drama! Just listen. Throw us a bone. Milt is still bitter about the Yankees. Now get out there and vote for Frank Stallone. Your country needs you.
