Michael's unique videos themselves are discussed at length (as are the musician learning moments within them), and some of the feedback Michael has gotten from viewers and musicians. \n\nKarl and Rob share some of their favorite Palmisano moments, and the trio get around to discussing Tool, Radiohead, Sturgill Simpson, Pink Floyd, prog rock \"Easter Eggs\" and plenty of other music-lover topics. Michael talks about the importance of music being in some way memorable - particularly to non-musicians. Rob gushes about Michael's video critique of his own sit-ins with Umphrey's McGee and Daniel Donato & Cosmic Country - and we hear both discussions and music from each. \n\nKarl and Rob wrap up the episode with a Juniper Tree \"listening party\" as a prelude to the next episode."}
