Summary
Join us on a musical adventure as we explore the soundtracks of our lives thus far: from our childhoods through angsty teen years, falling in love with our spouses, and becoming parents.
Just for Friends of the Show, there was one song on both of our discographies that was so impactful we need to do a deep dive with you, and maybe sing along together too. Of course we are talking about Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio. Elder Millennials, you know what we're talking about.

| 0:32.1 | more times. It will lose all meaning. But it's a list of meaningful songs that have marked |
| 0:36.0 | important moments or memories or phases |
| 0:38.2 | of our life up until now those songs that just stick with us. |
