The DOD45 Show

B. Dolan Unplugged: Minecraft, Spinal Surgery & Grizzly Bears | DOD45 Ep. 6 Revisited!

Listen Later

🎬 Episode 6 of The DOD45 Show premiered on June 27th, 2021, and after a little mishap with Spotify (seriously, why’d they do us like that? 🙄), we’re bringing it back for all of you who want to see how far we’ve come! 🛠️

This episode is raw. It’s real. It’s unpolished as hell. 💯 B. Dolan, indie-MC from Strange Famous Records and half of the dynamic duo Epic Beard Men (with Sage Francis), joins Tai in what’s essentially an audio and visual time capsule of the early days of DOD45. And let’s be honest, it’s a little cringy for us to rewatch. 😬

In Episode 6, you’ll get a glimpse into the beginnings of what would become a podcast powerhouse—pacing off, mic quality questionable, Tai still finding his on-screen groove, and even less Adrienne than we have now. But hey, it’s a skeleton of what you know and love today! 🏗️


🔥 What went down in this episode:

  • B. Dolan dives into his spinal surgery and how the pandemic threw his world into chaos, forcing him to take his hip-hop shows virtual via Minecraft and Twitch. 🎮
  • He talks about how those digital concerts built an inclusive space for fans with physical disabilities, creating a venue for everyone, everywhere. 💻
  • His unapologetic stance on corporate accountability and his new project—CorporateBehavior.org. 💼
  • Also, B. shares hilarious stories about helping his nephew repeat 3rd grade through digital learning during lockdown (spoiler: it’s a riot). 📚
  • Meanwhile, Tai is sketching a grizzly bear—a drawing that’s now available as a print


    • So yes, this episode is a little cringey, but it’s full of raw energy, real talk, and a whole lot of fun. 🔥 It's the foundation of what DOD45 has become—and we're proud of how far we've come.
