EP01 - Cypress Hill: Insane In The Brain

***EDITOR’S NOTES***

Originally aired on YouTube on December 8th 2022.  This was our second installment to the show as the first one we recorded was labeled as a pilot episode (That show, Lost Boyz “Renee” is still exclusively on YouTube as we don’t have a physical copy of the recording as it was entirely done on Zoom.  First lesson!) Even though this episode has been updated with a fresh audio remastering, it has a series of audio glitches as we recorded this one via Wi-Fi as Red & Bux originally planned to record these shows in their separate houses.

It was made very clear by this second attempt (Episode 1) that this needed to change.  It’s also clear at this early stage of the podcast that Red & Bux were still trying to figure out what the tone of this show was going to be as there is a slightly more serious approach to these earlier episodes.  As you follow the progression of each installment, you start to hear a more relaxed and playful approach to each episode as the show goes on.  We hope you enjoy revisiting (or experiencing for the first time) these fledgling moments in Remember the Record.  Please like, follow, rank and review this episode on whatever platform you prefer to listen to your podcasts and we look forward to sharing even more content as we continue to grow.
