Everybody is talking about how great artificial intelligence is, but can it write a hit song? Our prompt for A.I. was: to write a song about pizza and grace in the style of Matthew West.

Plus, we played a name pun game that didn't go according to plan:
In another round of "Musical Chopped," Matthew West gave us the perfect song to shop to on Black Friday!
In the TV show "Chopped," chefs have to make gourmet meals out of bizarre items in their baskets. In our version of "Musical Chopped," Matthew West had just 10 minutes to write a song about the scenario represented in his basket: an emotional one-man boy band going through a midlife crisis at goat yoga.
