I replaced workout music with podcasts a few months ago so they all kind of blend together.

A nurse cannot blast music at 3:00AM and disturb the neighbors, an ESA cannot be barking at 3:00AM.

If so that is music to my ears.

Spending time here on BP, listening to podcasts every day instead of music in the car, and so on, is how I do this.

This is called "fair use" and simply sharing it is a violation of copyright law (just like with music)...In summary - @Ken Risheldidn't slander you, he let you know you don't know what you're talking about.  

I also play guitar, and drums so I get to continue my passion for music because I have created this lifestyle that enables me to have the schedule I choose. 

Sounds like Tyler has mastered the knack of knowing the right people and what makes them tick (freedom to work on their own schedule/at own pace, happened to have the month off, fun/relaxed work site, got to listen to loud rock music & have BBQs, they all went to school together, their Moms are friends, they are between jobs, whatever). 

At some point the music will stop and I want to be on a beach somewhere when it does instead of looking for a chair.  

You should be able to find it on whatever platform you listen to podcast, music, etc.     

I do occasionally hear them downstairs, talking or music.
