It’s the special edition Dadchat episode of Small Talk, with Maseo (De La Soul), Smalltown Pete (Smalltown DJs) and DJ NDN (A Tribe Called Red) getting super deep (and hilarious) with DJ Ayres. The four dads talk about their early nicknames, various stages of child-rearing, touring, cussing, touching baby turds with their bare hands, etc. Also: the quality of the recording is not the best but we were recording in a hotel room at an open-bar DJ camp, so deal with it.

Songs played: Baby Huey “Hard Times” (that’s it!)
