Inspired by Alan’s recent trip to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the trio dives deep into Kevin's theory of the "grocery store enigma"—the bizarre phenomenon of why 50-year-old classic rock from the 60s, 70s, and 80s still completely dominates grocery stores, dental offices, and sports stadiums today.
