The DOD45 Show episodes

March 17, 2025 🔥 “DJ Abilities, Hot Yoga Mishaps & Airplane Weirdos — Series 5 Rewind” 🔥
🎙️ Back from the archives and back on your feeds—this gem originally dropped April 5, 2023, during Series 5 of The DOD45 Show! We’d finally hit our stride with the show’s structure by then—though still tossing in wild experiments like slap-boxing stories & random Marcus Aurelius references. You know, finding the groove but still leaving room to wreck the place.
🚨We’re re-releasing ALL past episodes (two or more a day!) thanks to Spotify hitting the self-destruct button on our original account (💀 real smooth, Spotify)—so now's your chance to catch this classic if you missed it!
👑 This one's a banger. DJ Abilities aka Max sits down while @ArtByTai draws a cyberpunk Max-from-Where-the-Wild-Things-Are piece, and Adrienne throws the questions that don’t usually get asked. No Eyedea obituary vibes here—nah, we talk guilty pleasure TV shows, Alice In Chains’ flawless Jar of Flies, the deep meditations of stoicism, mask-wearing on stage, and the underrated magic of burning nag champa.
💥 Did you know? Jordan Klepper (yes, that Jordan Klepper) is a big DJ Abilities fan—and we briefly ponder how he's surviving the madness of NYC. Plus, Mr. Dibbs crashes in (fresh off recovering from a hot-oil yoga accident) with wild on-tour slap-boxing “True or False” tales, and Sage Francis swings by to troll Max’s 2016 airplane-weirdo tweets. You’re not getting this kind of chaos anywhere else.
Oh, and Max’s Phonograph Phoenix album? We get into that too. 🦅🔥
⚡️Bottom line: You’ve never heard DJ Abilities in a convo like this. Ever.

✨ Watch it. Share it. Tell your friends, family, grandma & your ex’s new partner. SUBSCRIBE. REVIEW. It’s how indie shows like ours survive the algorithm circus.

March 17, 2025 🎄🔥 “Sage Francis, Beard Clippings & Holiday Chaos: A DOD45 Christmas Special” 🔥🎄
ORIGINALLY AIRED: DECEMBER 21, 2022
…but thanks to Spotify deciding to hit the ol’ self-destruct button on our entire podcast account (because, apparently, indie shows = expendable), we’re bringing ALL our past episodes back—2+ a day—until every last one is resurrected.
So if you missed this absolute holiday banger the first time, now’s your chance to unwrap it again. 🎁🎙️
(And hey, Spotify… maybe next time, send a fruit basket first before you wipe out years of work? 🤡)
Back in Series 4, Episode 41, Tai (@ArtByTai) & Adrienne invited Strange Famous Records’ own captain, Sage Francis, to cozy up for a special holiday-themed chaos-fest. And because we don’t do anything halfway, here’s what this episode packed under the tree:
✏️ Tai sketched Sage as a wild hybrid: Grinch + Jack Skellington + Curious George + Cocomelon = one nightmare-before-Christmas masterpiece.
💿 They celebrated the 20th anniversary repressing of Sage’s Personal Journals—which sold out in 15 MINUTES(seriously, blink and you missed it).
🎞️ Sage dropped the classic story about his grandma taking him to see Gremlins at 8 years old.
🎤 Deep dives into 2 Live Crew, 90s rap lyrics, and how the music landscape’s shifted in today’s era.
🎅 Sage’s Top 3 Favorite Holiday Rap Songs & Holiday Movies—which somehow derailed into talk about Lucinda Dickey, Ninja 3, and MacGruber.
🎄 The age-old debate: Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Spoiler: Sage’s take may spark fights at your next family gathering.
🧔‍♂️ Question From Dibbs Segment—Sage delivers a message about a bag of his beard clippings Dibbs has apparently been hoarding since Scribble Jam days (you can't make this stuff up).
🎙️ Plus... MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS: Sage teased The Hard Lurk Podcast, new Strange Famous projects, and whispers… a Strange Famous FESTIVAL in Denver, 2023? Yes, please.
🔥 Oh, and Tai made it all into a drinking game with prize giveaways—because what’s Christmas without a little reckless merriment?
✨ DID YOU KNOW?
Sage Francis' Personal Journals has been widely hailed as one of the most influential underground hip-hop albums of the 2000s, blending raw vulnerability with razor-sharp lyricism.
And yes, Sage’s grandma truly took him to see Gremlins.
Parenting, 80s-style. 💀
🎯 REMINDER:
Series 4 was when we had the format & flow locked in tight, fresh new Mr. Dibbs-produced theme music bangin’, and the energy soaring—though we weren’t the post-Series 7 beasts you see today. Still, this episode is pure holiday gold.
🚨 SPREAD THE HOLIDAY CHEER:
Spotify may have hit us with coal, but YOU can keep us thriving—Rate, Review, Subscribe & SHARE this episode with your friends, family, or the bearded stranger at your local dive bar. It matters!

March 16, 2025🎙️ Punk Rock Buffaloes & Jurassic Park Secrets w/ Whit Hertford | DOD45 Series 3 Throwback 🦬🎭
Originally aired Nov 16, 2022 – back now because Spotify pulled the plug & terminated our original DOD45 feed (classic corporate move 😒). So we’re re-releasing EVERY episode—2+ a day—until they’re all back and better than ever.

🔥 In this Series 3 classic, Tai & Adrienne had an introspective, off-the-rails convo with actor, playwright & theatre genius Whit Hertford—child star of Jurassic Park, founder of Riot Act Theatre, & all-around creative powerhouse.
🎨 Tai sketched Whit a punk rock buffalo carrying the Whitby Abbey (yep, that happened) while they dove into art, theatre, film, and life’s curveballs.
Series 3 was where we hit our groove—levels above Series 2 but still building toward the chaos we unleash beyond Series 7.

⚡️ Did You Know?
Whit starred in Jurassic Park’s raptor scene 🦖
He founded Riot Act Theatre, known for bold, no-holds-barred productions
He also makes music—check his band Natural History’s “The Long Mountain”

March 16, 2025🎤 Monsters, Mourning & Street Lessons: Myles Bullen Drops Gems on DOD45 🎤
🚨 Originally dropped on October 12, 2022, this classic Series 3 gem featuring the brilliant Myles Bullen is BACK—because Spotify pulled a boneheaded move and terminated our entire DOD45 podcast account 🤦‍♂️. So now, we’re rereleasing every single one of our past episodes—2 or more a day—until they’re all right back where they belong. (Thanks for the extra workload, Spotify. Real smooth.)
But honestly, this episode aged like fine wine 🍷 and deserves another spin.
💥 Series 3 was the season where we hit our groove—format tighter, pacing smoother, vibes dialed in. We weren’t quite the juggernaut we are now post-Series 7, but we’d definitely outgrown our training wheels.
In this unforgettable convo, Tai & Adrienne sat down with the thoughtful and talented @MylesBullen (of @FakeFourInc fame) to dive deep into:
✨ Their Mourning Travels album
✨ 4 wild years hitchhiking & street performing across the U.S.
✨ Why Adventure Time hits differently—and how Marceline’s monsters mirror real life
✨ …AND (a first for DOD45!) a surprise live performance of Marceline's heart-wrenching song “Monster” 🎶
Did you know?
🔥 Myles once described their sound as “a cross between emo rap & folk poetry.”
🔥 They’ve shared stages with acts like Sage Francis, Ceschi, and Guante.
🔥 Myles is a fierce advocate for mental health awareness & uses music as a form of therapy and activism.

March 16, 2025 🎙️ Mopes, Madonna’s Sex Book, and Movie Set Madness – DOD45 Re-Release! 🦌🦉
🔥 Another one from the vault! This Series 2 episode with Mopes (formerly Prolyphic) from the @strangefamousrecords fam originally dropped Jan 23, 2022—back when we were still finding our footing, shaping the DOD45 Show into what it is today. And now, thanks to Spotify pulling a Spotify (aka nuking our entire podcast account for no good reason 🙄), we’re re-releasing two or more episodes a day until every single one is back where it belongs. So hit FOLLOW and buckle up.
🖊️ While Tai sketches a stag with owls tangled in its antlers, he and Adrienne sit down with Mopes to talk about:
💔 The lifelong agony of being a Jets fan (Mopes) vs. a Jazz fan (Tai)
📀 The making of Mopes’ EP & album (yep, this is pre-release talk)
📺 The weird nostalgia of Alf
📚 Madonna’s Sex book—wait, why was this even a topic?
💀 The horrifying reality of accidental deaths on movie sets
🥊 Mike Tyson’s struggles, transformations, and why he’s still terrifying
🎤 Working with Chicago emcee Robust
🎥 Why movie set safety still isn’t taken seriously
✍️ Their favorite lyrics of all time
👀 And of course, the Sophie’s Choice segment made a return! You picking Lady Gaga or Madonna? What about Alfred E. Neuman or Paul Newman? No? Fine—how about Jets or Giants?
💡 DID YOU KNOW?
Before becoming Mopes, he spent over a decade as Prolyphic, dropping gems on Strange Famous Records alongside artists like Sage Francis. Rebranding isn't for the faint of heart, but he made the switch, evolved his sound, and kept it moving like a true artist.

March 13, 2025”I Used to Live Off Candy Bars, Snapples, and Drugs...” 🍬🥤💊 (Series 7, Ep 85 with Candy’s .22 – Reuploaded!)
💀🚨 Spotify tried to kill us, but we won’t stay dead! 🚨💀
In case you missed it the first time around (or because Spotify decided to nuke The DOD45 Show podcast account for no good reason 🤡), we’re bringing back ALL our past episodes—two or more a day until they’re all back up where they belong! Because why? Because big tech is dumb and we don’t quit.
💥 This was originally released May 22, 2024, but now it’s BACK—stronger, uncut, and combined with its bonus “Dish” episode. That means MORE stories, MORE chaos, and MORE of the absurd brilliance that is Candy’s .22 (Existereo of The Shape Shifters & CBS + Barfly aka Barf Loko of Oldominion).
👀 This episode? It’s a free podcast, don’t complain that it’s longer now—just hit pause and come back later. But also, why would you want to?
🎙 What’s Inside:
🔥 No holds barred convo with Candy’s .22—nothing’s off-limits.
🖊 ArtByTai draws a Death to Smoochy-themed piece while the guys unload stories you definitely won’t hear anywhere else.
📝 First concerts, first crushes, first time getting stitches, first motorcycle, first car, first run-ins with the law, worst injuries, worst ways to die, best action stars, favorite cereals… yeah, we cover it ALL.
🤯 DID YOU KNOW?
Candy’s .22’s "Neon Room at the Davenport" was one of their most cinematic releases, featuring production that felt straight out of a noir crime flick. 🎥🔪
Existereo has worked with legends like Busdriver, Awol One, and Pigeon John—and still keeps his rhymes razor-sharp.
Barfly (Barf Loko) isn’t just an MC—he’s a published author 📖. His book “Winding Up Strangers in Bars” is basically this episode in literary form.
🎥 MOVIE RECOMMENDATION:
👨‍✈️ Popeye (1980) – The Robin Williams cult-classic that’s more bizarre and wonderful than people give it credit for. Directed by Robert Altman, featuring an unforgettable Shelly Duvall as Olive Oyl. If you haven’t seen it, you’re missing out. Watch here
🎵 MUSIC RECOMMENDATIONS:
🎧 "Spacious Thoughts" by N.A.S.A – A mind-bending collab between Tom Waits and Kool Keith. You need this in your ears.
🎧 "Let’em Breathe" by Maker & Mestizo – Heavy beats, raw lyrics—this one hits hard.
🎧 DOD45 Luvs ‘Song Share’ Playlist – A constantly updated soundtrack to vibe with.
🛒 Support the Guests & Their Work:
🎵 Candy’s .22 - "Neon Room at the Davenport"

March 13, 2025 🎙️ The Grouch Talks Living Legends Reunion, Felt, & Social Media Lurking | Ep. 72 (Series 6) 🎧
🔥 Back from the grave! No thanks to Spotify’s brilliant decision to terminate The DOD45 Show podcast account (seriously, what was that about? 🤦‍♂️), we’re rereleasing ALL our past episodes at lightning speed—two or more a day until they're ALL back up! So if you missed this gem the first time, or just need another dose of Grouch wisdom, now’s your chance!
Originally aired: Nov. 1, 2023 | Series 6: New format, new graphics, & the debut of "The Dish" 🍽️
🦁 Episode 72 brings you the Mighty Grouch from the legendary Living Legends crew, here to talk about their long-awaited full-length album The Return, their first since 2008’s The Gathering, and to hype up the How the Grouch Stole Christmas tour, featuring Living Legends, Brother Ali, Reverie & DJ Fresh.
For me, this was a full-circle moment—having listened to The Grouch’s music for years, now sitting down for a convo while creating a custom Where the Wild Things Are-inspired piece for him (…featuring some rogue plastic bowling pins. It’ll make sense, trust me.)
🎶 In this episode, we discuss:
✅ His 10-year stint in Maui & how island life shaped his artistry 🏝️
✅ Producing the Slug & Murs’ Felt album: A Tribute to Christina Ricci 🎤
✅ A list of artists he deeply respects, including Erykah Badu, Leon Bridges, Mos Def, Ab-Soul, Slug & more
✅ A social media deep-dive with Sage Francis (via Sage’s Social Media Lurk segment) 👀
✅ Mr. Dibbs drops in to get the truth behind a mysterious backstage Atmosphere Red Rocks photo 🤨
✅ Random but crucial topics like Corey Haim & Corey Feldman, Zion-I, Monty Python, The Thing, Christina Aguilera, Jay Electronica, Blackalicious, Yo Gabba Gabba, and yes… Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake 💈
🎥 Movie: Lost Bullet (2020) – A high-speed French action thriller packed with insane car stunts & a revenge-driven plot. Think Fast & Furious meets The Raid. Watch it if you need an adrenaline rush.
🎵 Song: "Dance" – ESG – A timeless, funk-infused banger from the South Bronx legends ESG. Sampled by Beastie Boys, J Dilla, Wu-Tang, Public Enemy, and even Nine Inch Nails!
💽 Check out the full DOD45 Luvs Song Share playlist on Spotify!
💡 DID YOU KNOW?
🔹 Living Legends once turned down a deal with Interscope Records because they wanted to stay 100% independent. That’s the definition of sticking to your roots.
🔹 The Grouch's first-ever solo album, Don't Talk to Me, dropped in 1995—recorded entirely on a Tascam 4-track.
🔹 Slug from Atmosphere has said that The Grouch was one of his biggest influences in shaping his early music.

March 13, 2025 🎤 BARFLY UNLEASHED: Oldominion, Inhalant & Bukowski Banter | The DOD45 Show (Series 5 Re-Release) 🎬
📢 Spotify did us dirty—straight up terminated The DOD45 Show podcast account for no good reason, wiping out all our episodes. But we’re back at it, re-uploading every single one—two (or more) a day until the archives are fully restored. So if you missed out before, now’s your shot to catch every last banger we dropped. Hit that subscribe button, leave a review, and tell your weird uncle and artsy best friend. We need all the support we can get after this nonsense. 🖕🎧
💥 Originally released March 29, 2023, in Series 5—back when we were hitting our stride, figuring out the perfect structure but still throwing in experiments and wild segments. A huge leap from Series 4, but not quite the well-oiled beast we’ve become post-Series 7.
And this one’s a must-watch because we got to hang out with the anomaly himself—BARFLY! 🦇
If you don’t know, now’s your time to get educated:
🎤 Oldominion | 🎧 Floods | 🎶 Candys .22 | 🔥 Saturday Knights | 🎙️ Norman | 🦉 Nite Owls | 💨 Inhalant
…AND the author of the book that’s been occupying ArtByTai’s wandering mind:
📖 Winding Up Strangers in Bars 🍻
We talked music, the origins of his moniker (spoiler: it wasn’t originally his—Charles Bukowski had dibs first), and why he’s maybe leaning toward Barf Loko these days (but not like the Spaceballs Barf or Cypress Hill’s Loco).
And somehow, Wayne Newton, Olivia Newton-John, and the idea of music returning to an actual cultural experience instead of a soulless cash grab made it into the mix.
✅ Barfly has rocked the mic alongside Onry Ozzborn, Existereo, and Oldominion’s Smoke & Sleep.
✅ Mr. Dibbs (yes, THE Mr. Dibbs) has straight-up told us Barfly is one of his favorite rappers.
✅ Sage Francis crashes this episode to roast Barfly’s rarely-used Twitter account.
✅ Barfly’s got new music on the way under the name Inhalant with Hyena—get hyped!
Oh, and if FMK scenarios featuring Willie Nelson, Craig T. Nelson, and Judd Nelson are your thing, you’re in for a treat. 🎭
So what are you waiting for? We’re over here spinning our Barfly Floods "Temple of Abraxa" CD, feet up on the coffee table, reading Winding Up Strangers in Bars, and waiting for you to click the links and watch this epic episode.

March 13, 2025🔪 Dope Knife, Hip-Hop, Zombie Ants & The Ice-T Collab That Should Exist - The DOD45 Show - Ep. 40
🚨 RERELEASE ALERT! 🚨 Another day, another past episode resurrected from the Spotify Purge of ’24 (great job, Spotify, real forward-thinking move there. 👏👏). But hey, their loss is your gain—because we’re dropping two or more episodes a day until all our classics are back where they belong!
This one originally aired on December 14, 2022, right in the thick of Series 4—a season where we had things dialed in. The format? Locked. The pacing? Nailed. The Mr. Dibbs-produced theme music? Finally in place. We had made huge strides since Series 3… but we still weren’t quite the polished juggernaut we are now beyond Series 7. There were a few tweaks left to make, but at this point, DOD45 was officially in its bag. 🎒🔥
This time around, Tai & Adrienne sat down with the lyrical swordsman himself, Dope Knife (aka Kendrick Mack) while Tai sketched up a roach-and-skull-inspired masterpiece. 💀🐜✏️
🎤 What went down?
🔪 Mack’s latest album, "The Dope One"—released on @fakefourinc—gets the deep dive treatment. 🎶
🔪 The Liberian Civil War forced Mack’s family to flee in the '90s, eventually settling in Savannah, GA. 🌍➡️🇺🇸
🔪 The origins of the “Dope Knife” moniker—how it reflects his grimy side & his approach to hip-hop. 🏚️
🔪 Jeru the Damaja’s massive influence on his style & the lasting impact of boom-bap lyricism. 🎤🔥
🔪 A Dope Knife x Ice-T collab?? We break it down, imagine the possibilities, and wonder why it hasn’t happened yet. 🧊🔪
🔪 A trip into the Scribble Jam archives—Knife shares his regret about missing out on the legendary freestyle battles. 🎤💥
🔪 A random but very necessary discussion about zombie ants and their terrifying reality. 🐜🧟‍♂️
🔪 The state of his political hip-hop podcast, "Waiting on Reparations." 🎙️
💡 DID YOU KNOW?
Dope Knife isn't just a rapper—he's also an illustrator & animator. His visuals are as raw as his bars. 🖌️🎞️
He’s part of The Dope Sandwich crew, an underground hip-hop collective that’s been shaking things up in Savannah for years. 🎛️
"The Dope One" was hailed as one of Fake Four’s hardest-hitting releases of the year—if you haven’t checked it out yet, fix that immediately. 🚀
This convo was fast, loose, and packed with gems—whether it was about hip-hop history, horror movie-level insect facts, or dream collaborations that need to happen ASAP.
🔥 HELP US KEEP IT MOVING! 🔥
✅ Follow & Subscribe – Don’t let Spotify’s nonsense slow us down.

March 13, 2025 🎙️Jesse the Tree & the Pigeon Pant Paradox - The DOD45 Show - Ep. 30
🚨 RE-UP ALERT! 🚨 Thanks to Spotify’s ✨brilliant✨ decision to terminate The DOD45 Show podcast account (yeah, we’re calling you out, Spotify 👀), we’re rereleasing all our past episodes—two or more a day—until they’re ALL back where they belong. So, if you missed this one the first time (or just need a good laugh), it’s back, baby! 🔥
This episode originally dropped on October 5, 2022, in Series 3—a season where we finally started hitting our stride, tightening the format, and figuring out our pacing. We were miles ahead of where we started in Series 2, but still light-years from where we are now, beyond Series 7. Growth, people. Growth. 📈
This time around, Tai & Adrienne got to chop it up with the ever-hilarious, always-insightful Jesse the Tree of @strangefamousrecords fame! 🌳 🐦
🌀 What went down?
✔️ Jesse shares the wild tale of how Sage Francis first discovered him… at a festival in Germany of all places. 🇩🇪 🤯
✔️ They talk basketball, which means we probably make fun of Tai’s Utah Jazz again. 🏀 😅
✔️ A hysterical deep dive into understanding cats (spoiler: do we really ever understand them?). 🐱😂
✔️ The legend of Jesse’s organic-gardening dad, “The Wizard”, and his otherworldly green thumb. 🌿✨
✔️ The true meaning of pigeons and why they deserve more respect. 🐦🙏
✔️ Breaking down the art of effortless cool—why the kids who don’t try are somehow the coolest. 😎
✔️ A curveball history question from Mr. Dibbs sends Jesse into a full-on brain spiral. 🌀
✔️ And finally, Jesse calls out people over 40 desperately trying to stay cool… but failing thanks to their tragic pants choices. (Look, we’ve all seen it. 😬👖)
💡 DID YOU KNOW?
Jesse the Tree’s album “Pigeon Man” (which we discuss in-depth here) got serious love from indie rap heads and even landed a 4-star review from some hip-hop tastemakers. Not bad for a guy named after a tree. 🌲💥
This episode was nothing but good vibes, deep laughs, and a full-on ab workout from laughing too hard. 😂 So do yourself a favor—kick off those loafers, hit play, and let the weirdness wash over you. 🎧🔥
💥 HELP US OUT! 💥
✅ Follow & Subscribe – Don’t let Spotify’s nonsense slow us down.
✅ Review & Rate – Takes 2 secs, helps a TON.
✅ Share it! – Tell your weird friends, cool aunts, and even that one coworker who pretends they don’t like podcasts (they do).
