What happens when a 46-year-old Emmy Award-winning producer and a 21-year-old who's never lived away from home become roommates? As it turns out, a surprisingly harmonious relationship built on toaster strudels, Superbad viewings, and Cypress Hill concerts.

Fresh from headlining at Dead Crow Comedy Club in Wilmington, North Carolina, I spent the weekend crashing with my best friend Ryan and his young roommate Joey. Their dynamic immediately fascinated me – two men separated by 25 years sharing not just an apartment but also a workplace, as Joey works for Ryan's production company. When asked about living with someone going through midlife crisis, Joey's response was illuminating: "In reality, me and Ryan are the same." Ryan agreed, confessing with a laugh, "I do kind of live like a 21-year-old now."

Their relationship isn't without its teachable moments. Ryan gently guides Joey through the basics of cohabitation – from bathroom cleanliness to taking out the trash. But there's mutual respect and genuine friendship forming between these generational bookends. Our impromptu pop culture quiz revealed Joey's surprising knowledge of early 2000s entertainment despite being born in 2004, while Ryan struggled with current references like "Barbenheimer" and Sabrina Carpenter's viral TikTok dance.

The episode also features catch-ups with regular friends – Paul shares news from home and participates in an '80s pop culture trivia challenge, while Jineane calls in with updates on her recovery from a serious horse-riding accident. Her chosen motivational quote from Eleanor Roosevelt, "Do one thing every day that scares you," perfectly captures the spirit of growth that runs throughout this episode – whether it's a young adult taking his first steps toward independence or a middle-aged man embracing new perspectives through an unexpected friendship.

Listen now to this heartwarming exploration of how age is just a number when it comes to friendship, learning, and finding common ground in the most unexpected places.

From a family steeped in musical tradition to dropping out of college to chase his Nashville dreams, Joe Noto's story exemplifies the passionate pursuit of country music stardom. The Buffalo-born, Florida-raised artist sat down to share his remarkable journey, revealing how music has been his one constant since childhood.

At just five years old, Joe's parents gave him a simple mandate: choose a sport and an instrument. While various sports came and went, music remained. His grandfather's career as a jazz musician in the '50s and '60s and his father's drumming background created a rich musical foundation. Joe's progression from drummer to guitarist to vocalist and finally songwriter reflects his evolving relationship with his craft. Growing up surrounded by diverse musical influences—from Bon Jovi to Michael Jackson to Garth Brooks—Joe developed an eclectic appreciation that informs his sound today.

A pivotal moment came during Joe's college years at Florida State when a chance encounter with Morgan Wallen changed everything. After sharing that he aspired to be an artist, Wallen challenged him: "You can't call yourself an artist if you're not writing songs." That very week, Joe wrote his first song. This push ultimately led to his bold decision to drop out during his senior year when a management opportunity arose, believing divine timing was at work. Joe's latest single "Blue," written while vacationing in Haiti, captures the essence of his Florida upbringing with its carefree beach vibes. With new music dropping monthly and exciting collaborations on the horizon, Joe Noto is climbing the country music ladder one thoughtful song at a time. Follow his journey on Instagram, TikTok, and all streaming platforms to witness firsthand the rise of this promising new voice in country music.
