      <image:title>Episodes - S1.E6. / The 3 Worst Songs of 2020</image:title>
      <image:caption>2020 has been a rough year. The only comparable year on record is 1989. The year Jon and Chris had to attend junior high in the neighboring town (Andy’s town). Surrounded by “rich kids” who liked to ski and play soccer, they somehow made it through. Learning from that life experience, and hoping for the best, Jon and Chris (and Andy) all want to turn their attention to 2021. But, not until they have a year-end battle royale. What was the worst song of 2020? This is getting serious.</image:caption>
