On this episode of the Capital City Podcast, Capital J and DL Glass sit down for one of the realest conversations of the season — pushing through the moments when creativity, motivation, and life just ain’t hitting the way they usually do.

This isn’t a hype episode. It’s an honest one.

The fellas talk openly about burnout, losing momentum, expectations from the culture, and how hard it can be to show up when your energy is low but your purpose is still calling.

From personal reflections to hard-earned wisdom, this episode peels back the curtain on the grind behind the mic — the pressure, the passion, and the reality that even creators have days when “doing this” feels heavy.

If you’ve ever hit that wall but kept going anyway, you’ll feel this one.

In this shorter-format episode, Capital J and DL Glass explore the idea of “party-goers” across different generations — how social energy, nightlife culture, and community gathering have changed (or stayed the same) over time. They reflect on the way attitudes, spaces, music, and generational shifts influence how people “come out to vibe,” highlighting how history, culture, and personal experience intersect when people gather.

The conversation touches on generational differences — older heads vs younger heads — how nostalgia and respect for roots blend with modern ways of partying, and what it means to “throw a party” in different eras. The vibe stays conversational and reflective: part memory lane, part social commentary.
