Erica and Steve elaborated on the production of their music video for "Drowning," which features a spooky theme inspired by a fellow musician's vision. They aimed to create an engaging narrative that encourages viewers to rewatch for hidden details, balancing horror elements with a serious tone to avoid a corny presentation. The video was shot in a friend's house, contributing to its eerie ambiance, and the project was a collaborative effort intended to elevate their upcoming EP. They also discussed their songwriting process, noting that contributions typically come from Billy and Pete, which the group arranges together, while incorporating covers into their performances due to time constraints.

They acknowledged the difficulties indie artists face in the music industry, including financial struggles and the need for hard work and dedication. Erica and Steve also shared their desire to leave a legacy in music, hoping future generations will appreciate their contributions.
Upcoming performances were discussed, including a notable gig at the Collingswood Mayfair and subsequent shows at casinos and festivals in the New York, New Jersey, and Philadelphia areas.
