In this episode, the lads pay homage to Michael Jackson's 1996 sleeper hit "They Don't Care About Us." On their pilgrimage (by llama of course), they are joined by the likes of Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Freddie Mercury, Thomas Dolby Notorious B.I.G., and Spike Lee as they march to the other-worldly rhythms of Olodum. With the help of this braintrust, the fellas get down and dirty in the favelas of Rio and attempt to unravel how this combative musical offering became an anthem for the dispossessed across the globe.

In this episode the TnT Dork Collective get their nerd on with the geeky 1982 classic "She Blinded Me With Science." Tom blows Ty's mind with some little-known (and nerdy) Thomas Dolby trivia, including his associations with Foreigner, Joni Mitchell and Michael Jackson and then spazzes out when Ty nails his I'll-bet-you-didn't-know questions with the greatest of ease (like a true geek). Tape up those glasses, pop that floppy disk into the Commodore 64 and adjust your pocket protectors for a full-on P.C.P. (Pop, Chips & Parents) listening party!

In this episode the fellas dream their way back to 1963 and stare in disbelief (and delight) as the legendary Roy Orbison upstages the Beatles not once but twice with his top ten hit "In Dreams." Little did Roy know that as Orbi-mania faded that the Candy Colored Clown was sound asleep aboard the HSFM mothership, existing in a state of suspended animation for 23 years, only to be awoken by illustrious film director David Lynch. Lynch proceeded to revive not only the sandman but Roy's career as well. Join the boyz as they examine the unlikely trajectory of "In Dreams" and tip their sleeping caps to Roy's undeniable influence across the musical spectrum, including such diverse acts as Van Halen, Chris Isaak, Morrissey and U2.

In this episode Tom goes berserk for Björk while Ty is blasé on her quirk. While Tom tries to convince Ty to not be a “jörk” about her work, the boys discuss the annoyingly unrepresentative hits that sometimes define an artist.

Join the gentlemen as they not so quietly discuss the artist from Mars who came down to earth briefly to surprise us all with this unlikely hit!

In this episode, the lads travel back to the disco era where they shake their boo-tays to none other than...Pink Floyd? As they try to dig the dark Floydian disco groove, they critique some hits (and misses) of rock bands attempting disco and marvel at how the genre penetrated every nook and cranny of the era that bears its name. Ty also offers Tom an olive branch for his unrelenting dissing of producers, which Tom preempts...with a gift. All and all, it's just another brick in the...strobe light illuminated dance floor?
