In this episode, Chad Phillips and I unpack our personal journeys with music and the artists who shaped us. We discuss everything from COVID’s impact on concerts and Kanye vs. Drake, to The Beatles’ influence, Michael Jackson’s legacy, and the “Paul is Dead” theory. Along the way, we explore how music fandoms, pop culture rivalries, and even Disney Channel shaped an entire generation’s soundtrack.
