Mark & Alan talk a lot about the Brian Wilson Album: Smile. If you don’t know the back story, here is a brief explanation with a link to more: Brian Wilson Presents Smile (also referred to as Smile or the abbreviation BWPS) is the fifth studio album by American musician Brian Wilson, released September 28, 2004 on Nonesuch. It features all-new recordings of music that he had originally created for Smile, an unfinished album by the Beach Boys that he abandoned in 1967. Revisiting Smile was an intense emotional undertaking for Wilson, as he had been deeply traumatized by the circumstances that had originally surrounded the project. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Wilson_Presents_Smile
