On Episode 33 of the Phone Home Podcast, the crew taps into the symbolism of the number 33 and how it shows up in growth, maturity, and learning from your own story. They break down the myth of Icarus and what it really means to “fly too close to the sun,” reflecting on ego, ambition, and knowing when to stay grounded.

From there, the conversation moves into personal style and identity, moments from unforgettable concerts, and why Kendrick Lamar’s live performance hits different. The hosts also debate the evolution of Drake, the legacy of J. Cole’s Friday Night Lights, and the timeless influence of Get Rich or Die Tryin’. They explore how certain music grows with you and how your favorite artists can soundtrack entire eras of your life.

The episode then shifts to the South: the struggles, the pride, the grind, and the cultural weight that shapes Southern hip-hop. They talk about Mississippi and Virginia in particular, unpacking stereotypes about racism, history, and how media shapes perception. The crew also shares thoughts on travel, flying first class, and how new environments spark new conversations and connections.
