"Right now this spring, it's Tyler, the Creator or TRVST."

"Right now it's a song called 'New Rules' by Dua Lipa."

"I'm definitely a blues person, so for me it would be 'Sittin' by the Dock of the Bay.'"

"Four Seasons by Vivaldi, of course."

"Definitely, anything Fleetwood Mac. I have good memories of listening to that riding in the car."

"I know this one because I was just listening to it…'Touch of Gray' by Grateful Dead."

"Let me look through my playlist here. I can never remember songs when I'm asked something like this. OK, definitely 'Mr. Tillman' by Father John Misty."
