Dave and Milt travel back to January 1972 to discuss the Billboard Top 10 hits of the week. The hosts engage in lively and sometimes mindless banter, sharing stories and trivia about the songs and artists, including classics like Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together' and Don McLean's 'American Pie.' They also discuss some lesser-known gems and delve into various musical influences. Along the way, the podcast features fun segments like a playdate quiz on famous ad jingles and a substitution segment where the hosts replace one song from the list with another deserving track from the same period.
