What do a Dolly Parton impersonator, 9/11 survivor stories, and the rise and fall of Five Star have in common? In this episode, Josh and Sean take you on a journey through nostalgia, public memory, and the power of storytelling.
They reflect on a recent trip to Leeds, the emotional weight of historical tragedies, and how media shapes our perception of past events. Along the way, they discuss music's lasting legacy, the sometimes shocking cost of self-care (seriously, haircuts are getting out of control), and the ever-expanding mysteries of the universe.
It’s a thought-provoking, heartfelt, and occasionally hilarious ride. Just the way we like it.
Hit play and join the conversation!
Enjoy the ride.
