In today's episode, we go back to things we discussed in 'The Lost Art of Being Bored' episode. We asked AI to create a 'Mad Lib' type story for us. Noel and Keith come up with the words. Then Steve reads the hilarious story. This is a short but sweet episode that we hope you all enjoy. We'd love for you to share ones you have come up with as well!

Live Aid was one of those once in a lifetime 'lightning in a bottle' events that happens only once in a generation.
