Alex comes into this episode guns blazing over his irrational and fervent hatred for Simon & Garfunkel. He hates them so much that he surprises Mike with an entire parody song written by him and performed by fellow friend and musician Casey Hanson. There isn’t a moment on this episode where Mike and Alex see eye to eye and it’s wonderful.

Closing song: “Richard Cory” from Sounds of Silence (1966)
