In the fourth official episode of the season, Justin, Chris, and Randy discuss The Police\u2019s divisive 1981 album. Justin offers some alternative state songs for his home state of New Jersey, Chris close-reads Stewart Copeland\u2019s paean to fame, and Randy offers a sample of his mellifluous singing voice. And of course, they find time to discuss other artists they\u2019ve been listening to apart from The Police.
