"I Surrender" performance and worship-song talk
Aaron introduces 'I Surrender,' describing a night on his knees in his Los Angeles apartment when the song took hold of him, then performs it live. Afterwards the hosts discuss how worship songs stick in your head — one woke up singing praise — and land a joking bit: after a host is caught humming 'Jump Around,' another teases that Deuteronomy forbids jumping, complete with a lords-are-leaping Christmas joke.
