Isaac Goodwater joins the show for an entertaining conversation about friendship, music, and nostalgia. Together, we dive into stories from our Sprint days, laugh about hilarious moments from the past, and explore the powerful role music has played in shaping our lives.
From gospel and R&B to hip-hop and country, we rank our favorite genres, share our go-to tracks, and challenge each other in a fun playlist battle. Along the way, we reflect on growing up in the 90s and 2000s, why that era was so special, and how music continues to connect us.
We also touch on the evolution of music technology, including how AI is changing the game for creators. Whether you're a music lover, a fan of nostalgic conversations, or just here for the laughs, this episode has something for everyone.
