Summary

The fellas navigate the highs and lows of 2025, from vocal health scares to interactions with musical icons. Dave opens up about his battle with ulcerative laryngitis, a condition that forced him into total silence and led to a profound spiritual moment of surrender while walking near Vanderbilt. John reveals why he scrapped a completed record for the first time in his career, and they discuss the journey of getting an album into the hands of an icon.
