## Resource

In this throwback, a listener's simple attempt to request an iconic alternative rock song goes disastrously wrong when they are forced to navigate the station's automated request system. Tune in to hear the frustrating battle between man and machine as the AI wildly misinterprets band names, rejects song choices for being "too sad," and tricks the caller into instantly disqualifying themselves from a massive concert ticket giveaway.
