Join our team as they talk about what's new in their lives, what the Warner Bros/HBO Max deal might mean for their future distractions, why mixtapes pack an emotional punch at any age, and much more.

Every 2 weeks Matt and Nic will attempt to expand Joe's musical horizons by each making him a mini-mixtape based around a chosen theme. Spoilers: The first theme is Love. They'll be discussed in two weeks in Mission 3, but we invite you to check them out as well and let us know what you think!
