🎬 The DOD45 Show is back with a re-release of Episode 97, originally aired October 16th, 2024! This episode survived the madness of Spotify's decision to terminate our podcast account (don’t ask 🙄) and is now resurrected for your viewing pleasure.

In this truly unique episode, Tai of #ArtByTai chats with the legendary Gel Roc while drawing a Dracula-themed piece. But wait—it’s also the only episode in DOD45 history where the guest was getting tattooed during the interview! 🖤💉 The tattoo artist? None other than CBS graffiti crew member and masterful tattooer NicNak.

💥 What to expect from this one-of-a-kind throwback:

🎨 Tai brings Dracula to life with his signature pen style, channeling the eerie energy of the conversation.

🎬 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:

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.

So go ahead, watch, laugh, and cringe with us—Episode 6 may not be polished, but it’s got heart, passion, and a glimpse into the origins of DOD45. 👀

🔥 Back by popular demand (and because Spotify did something dumb 🙄), Episode 98 of The DOD45 Show is hitting your feeds again! Originally aired on November 13, 2024, this gem features The Dead Can Rap—a mind-blowing duo of British graffiti artist/producer/rapper Remi Rough and legendary poet/rapper/producer Mike Ladd.

🎨 While Tai of ArtByTai brought their energy to life through stunning live illustrations, this episode spilled over with wild laughs, deep insights, and surprising twists. From the legacy of Basquiat 🎨 to the wonders of Ai Wei Wei 🏺, and even the mythos of Patty Island 🏝️, Plus, Mike Ladd dropped this gem: “Why don’t y’all just come to this bathtub?” 🛁😂

🚨 REWIND ALERT! 🚨 Originally aired on June 27th, 2021, this episode marks the first-ever appearance of Columbus, Ohio’s lyrical phenom, Illogic, on The DOD45 Show. This throwback episode is being re-released because—thanks to a baffling move by Spotify—the original podcast account was terminated. But you can’t keep a good conversation down!

🎙️ Step into the early days of The DOD45 Show with this raw and unfiltered episode (#7), where the vibes are heartfelt, the insights are sharp, and the energy is undeniable. Though the show has evolved massively over the years, this debut conversation with Illogic showcases the foundation of what’s made DOD45 a standout podcast: authentic, meaningful discussions paired with Tai’s artistic magic.

🚨 Guess what?! Episode 99 of The DOD45 Show—first premiered on November 20, 2024—has been re-released due to a ridiculous Spotify snafu that deleted the original podcast account (thanks, Spotify 😒). But don’t worry, we’re bringing this electric episode BACK, and it's more exciting than ever! 🔥

In this unforgettable episode, hosted by Tai of ArtByTai, we go deep into the creative universe of Mopes—the man behind the mind-blowing concept album Deadowbrook (just released under Strange Famous Records!). 🎶 But it's not just talk about music; we get a taste of his life too, with ArtByTai drawing a Unicorn Elephant for Mopes' kids (yes, you read that right 🦄🐘) as they chat about EVERYTHING from their wild pasts to their current projects.

🔊 Quote from Mopes: "We grew up a certain way..." and trust us, it shows. His journey is as deep and crazy as the art itself.

✨ Featuring:

💥 This episode isn’t just an interview—it’s a MASTERCLASS in storytelling, music, and laughs! And let’s not forget about the absurdity of the Mayo/Miracle Whip question, because you KNOW that's going to spark some serious opinions. 🤣

Originally airing on September 4th, 2024, this fan-favorite episode of The DOD45 Show is back—thanks to a brilliant (read: ridiculous) move by Spotify to terminate the podcast’s account. But hey, we’re not bitter—just determined to make sure you don’t miss this banger!

This unforgettable episode reunites Tai, Adrienne, and Cas One, the Strange Famous Records legend, for a laugh-filled deep dive into music, art, and life. It’s a true “Mr. Miyagi was the OG” kind of vibe, as Cas One himself puts it. 🥋

🔥 Highlights from Episode 94

• Tai’s Art Madness: Watch Tai turn a chaotic mash-up into a masterpiece! Featuring:
  • Hoggle from Labyrinth

🌟 Why This Episode Matters

This isn’t just an interview; it’s a vibe. Cas One’s wit and wisdom light up the conversation, while Tai and Adrienne keep things dynamic with their off-the-cuff banter. Whether you’re into hip-hop, offbeat humor, or just love watching brilliant art come to life, this is the episode for you.

🛠️ The DOD45 Evolution

This rerelease is a glimpse into the evolution of The DOD45 Show. From its raw, scrappy beginnings to this polished, hilarious milestone, this episode proves why the show now boasts over 100 episodes—and counting!

🎧 Don’t miss this epic return of Cas One to The DOD45 Show!

Be Kind, Please Rewind: Cas One's Hilarious and Heartfelt DOD45 Journey (First Appearance on The DOD45 Show)

This episode originally aired on June 13, 2021, was revisited as a special “Be Kind Please Rewind” look back on May 3, 2023, and now, thanks to Spotify’s brilliant idea to terminate The DOD45 Show account, it’s being rereleased once again! Why? Because it’s just that good. This episode captures the raw, unpolished beginnings of the podcast—Episode 5 of what is now a series with over 100 episodes! Expect lo-fi vibes, quirky charm, and a glimpse of how far we've come (no co-host Adrienne yet, Tai’s mic game was questionable, and the pacing? Let’s just say we were finding our groove).

But beyond the technical rough edges, this episode is special. It marks the very first time the DOD45 Show met Cas One—a meeting that sparked what is now an incredible friendship between Tai, Adrienne, and Cas. From casual conversation to a deep bond, this is where it all began.
