Recording remotely, the twins talk about growing up in Coconut Grove, the oldest permanent settlement in the greater Miami area - dredging up memories of their old stomping grounds and antics before moving to Los Angeles. They discuss music, songwriting, audio and more - including a musical sampling from one of Chris' recent sessions.
