We’re celebrating our 100th episode at one of our favorite spots - Ridgewood Station Tavern in Wantagh, NY. Joining us are Vinny and Tom, aka Lavish Life, your favorite country music and EDM duo. They drop a huge secret on us, sorry for the "bleeps"!

Here’s what we discuss:
⁃ How Vinny and Tom connected to form Lavish Life, and their first remix of Morgan Wallen
⁃ The delicious spread of food at Ridgewood
⁃ Sign, Feature, or Drop? Jason Aldean, Chris Stapleton, or Zach Bryan. Shouts to Rick Rubin.
⁃ Marry, One Night, or Ghost? Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert, or Carrie Underwood
⁃ In honor of The Summer of ‘99 and Beyond Festival: Creed or Nickelback? What is Grunge music?
⁃ If you could only listen to one genre of music, which would it be? Tom’s baseball career got him into country. Which songs are must-haves for a batting practice playlist? What would your walk-up song be?
⁃ What have they learned from Post Malone’s ability to move from genre to genre?
⁃ The respect for Country music, its growth, and its ability to stay traditional but also move towards contemporary. Mario’s experience seeing George Strait perform All My Exes Live in Texas live.

⁃ Stories from their shows at EDC in Vegas with Tiesto, Martin Garrix, & DJ Snake’s manager
⁃ Their creative process: What comes first? The beat or the lyrics?
