What if a mixtape could change your entire perspective on summer? Join Matt and Samer on a nostalgic journey through sun-soaked tunes that might just make even the biggest summer skeptics (like Samer) start to appreciate the season. Kicking off with the fan-favorite "Waiting on the Summer" by VHS Collection, recommended by @mindys_memories, we explore how a perfect blend of music and memories can transform the hottest months. Listen as we reflect on how our Instagram community shaped this mixtape and the joy of experiencing summer through different life stages.

From the timeless beat of Weezer's "Island in the Sun" to the infectious energy of Tom Cochran's "Life is a Highway," our conversation is filled with musical nostalgia and fun anecdotes. We reminisce about the 1998 hit that cleverly sampled Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, and ponder the value of "smart comedies" like Bullworth. The episode takes a quirky turn as we discuss New Yorker cartoons and a memorable Seinfeld moment, before diving into the operatic brilliance of Meatloaf's "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth." Packed with light-hearted banter and heartfelt recollections, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to enhance their summer soundtrack!
