We are taking this episode to catch all our listeners up on what we have been up to recently and chat about a few things on the top of our minds. We run through the new movie about Mötley Crüe and Sourdough's experience meeting Jeff Tremaine, the man behind the Jackass franchise. From there, the conversation turns to photography, cameras and early experiences of taking analog photos. We look back at a history of racking film and cologne and the profitable way you could make these work for you as a young graffiti artist with some industry. We also discuss what sex positions our parents might have been in when we were conceived. After which, we turn to hip hop, music, and cultural development in the last 30 years. We discuss the art of sampling and how this opened up a universe of music for hip hop heads and lament the current state of hip hop and why it's impossible to stay up to date with everything these days.
