Description

We are coming to you with something a little bit different with this one.  Due to travel considerations, the boys had to record separately this time.  

In the episode's first part, Ian tackles a subject that has come up before on the show, the conversion from digital streams to physical sales numbers.  He takes a look at both the positive and negative aspect of the method.  A handful of the references that he used are listed beneath the episode description. 

In the episode's second part, Chris brings it home with his breakdown of the album "Hit Me Hard and Soft" by Billie Eilish in celebration of the album's 1 year anniversary.  Listen along as he takes you through the album's inspirations, meaning, and background.
