Summary

In full transparency, The BoatCast thought it would be great for fellow Philly natives, Floorbird, to jump in at the end of their Cincy-based brothers Green Light Morning's podcast, since the two Sixthman Soundcheck winning bands had podcasts scheduled back to back and had become fast friends aboard TRB XXIII. The result was something out of a music lover's dream - an extraordinary collaboration between the two beloved bands. The episode takes listeners on an engaging journey filled with lively discussions ranging from NCAA women's basketball, to curing pediatric cancer, to Euchre... Oh, and they discussed music a bit too.

The highlight of the episode is the upcoming Rock by the Sea event, a charity music festival dedicated to raising funds for pediatric cancer research, where both bands share their enthusiasm and preparations. Our hosts delve into the personal experiences of the band members, their practice routines, and some humorous anecdotes, all while emphasizing the importance of the charity aspect of the event.

Listeners are encouraged to support the noble cause by buying a ticket to the festival and participating in the festival's activities (, including a cornhole and Euchre tournament). This episode of The BoatCast is not only the longest episode ever, but offers the most off the cuff banter and heartfelt discussions - showcasing the camaraderie and passion of the everyone involved.

p.s. Be sure to listen until the end ;)
