Happy Holidays to all. And on this holiday Mike and Mario are picking between two of the best and most influential albums of the 1980's.

Let's just call this the 'heavenly episode' for  obvious reasons.

Nothing about their decision will be easy we can promise you that. But a choice will be made. Who You Got???

Soul music!!! There's no other way to describe the two songs that Mike and Mario get to choose from this week. Will it be Walk Away From Love by David Ruffin or When Somebody Loves You Back by Teddy Pendergrass? From group projects to solo missions, these gentlemen certainly can touch our souls.
