DOD45 Throwback Episode – Originally Released August 15, 2021

💀 SPOTIFY STRIKES AGAIN. Because they decided to obliterate our entire podcast account for no good reason (seriously, what did we do?! 😤), we’re rereleasing every single past episode—3+ a day until they’re ALL back up! And today, we’re digging up Episode 13 with the brilliant tattoo artist Teresa Sharpe! 🎨🖋️

⚠️ BUT BE WARNED: This was still the early, clunky, slightly cringe days of The DOD45 Show. No fancy pacing. No polished graphics. Mic quality? A struggle. Tai’s wearing a tank top for this interview, CLASSY. No official theme music yet, even less of co-host Adrienne, and let’s be real—Tai was still learning how to be on camera without looking like he owed someone money. It’s raw, it’s awkward, but that’s what makes it GOLD.

🎨 In this episode, Tai sits down with Teresa Sharpe—renowned tattoo artist & champion of Best Ink Season 2—to chat about life, art, and surviving in an industry that was once a boys’ club. Meanwhile, he attempts to draw her a wild, tentacled, hairless cat with a perched crow (because normal portraits are boring). 🐱🐙

🎤 DOD45 Throwback Episode – Originally Released August 1, 2021

⚠️BUT FAIR WARNING: This was still theearly, unpolished, figuring-things-out era of The DOD45 Show. No slick pacing. No high-end graphics. Mic quality?Let’s just say we’ve upgraded since then. Even Tai’s drawing wasn’t at its best. No proper theme music yet, evenless of co-host Adrienne, and Tai was stillawkwardly learning how to exist on screen without looking like he was buffering in real life.It’s raw, it’s rough, but it’s REAL.

🌪️In this throwback episode, Tai sits down with KDeath—artist, innovator, and co-founder of the noise rap movement. As the mastermind behindMoodie Black, Kristen’s beenpushing sonic boundaries for years, and on top of that, she’sco-owner of MB Foodhouse, a craft taco spot somewhere in the US, used to be Minneapolis but may now be in New Mexico. (Becausewhy not shake up the rap world AND the food scene at the same time?) 🌮🔥

🎤 DOD45 Throwback Episode – Originally Released July 18th, 2021

⚠️BUT FAIR WARNING: This was still theearly, shaky, raw-as-hell days of The DOD45 Show. No slick pacing. No fancy graphics. Mic quality?Rough. Even Tai’s pen game was slacking. No official theme music, evenless of co-host Adrienne, and let’s be real… Tai was still figuring out how to be on-camera without looking like he just woke up from a coma. But that’s what makes this agem—it’s askeleton of what DOD45 is now, and it’s got all the unpolished charm to prove it. 😂

🐘In this classic episode, Tai sketches a walrus while diving into the wild mind of Awol One, an East L.A.hip-hop artist, graphic designer, and music-making machine withover 20 albums and zero signs of stopping. Seriously, this guy’s creativity is like a faucet that never shuts off, and we LOVE IT.

Throwback Alert! 🚨 OnJuly 11th, 2021, we dropped Episode 10 ofThe DOD45 Show—one of our earliest, rawest incarnations. Now, thanks to a ridiculous Spotify mishap that terminated our podcast account, we're re-releasing this unpolished gem for all you die-hard fans! It may lack the slick pacing, refined graphics, stellar mic quality, Tai’s on-screen confidence, and even his best pen work. Plus, there's no new theme music or co-host Adrienne yet. But hey, it's the skeleton of what has now evolved into a full-blown podcast powerhouse! 🎙️🔥

In this episode, Tai (ofArtByTai) drew a fierce honey badger while catching up with his longtime friend, Johnny Riche—a brawler with a heart of gold and the co-owner/VP of Business Development atRockwell Time. Johnny, always the charismatic storyteller, shared wild tales from his past, including his days as a guinea pig for crazy stunts on Nitro Circus’ TV seriesThrillbillies andMan vs Youtube, along with epic experiences on shows likeThe Rockwell Chronicles,3.2 Percent, andThe Ultimate Combat Experience. 🤘🎥

They laughed about old movies, reminisced about video games, and dove into personal stories—from Johnny's fierce sibling loyalty (protecting his little brother at all costs) to a hilarious encounter with a guy claiming to be Karl Malone’s personal trainer, and even his friendship with former NBA All-Star and Olympic Gold Medalist Deron Williams. The episode wraps up on a heartfelt note as Johnny explains how the tragic loss of his brother, parents, and other loved ones has inspired him to turn every day into the best day possible. ❤️

Spoiler: Buck’s not slowing down. 🚀

Special appearances by Doseone and Mr. Dibbs bring even more chaos—yes, there’s mayo vs. Miracle Whip, baseball, and poop particle revelations. 💩 The Sage's Social Media Lurk segment, courtesy of Strange Famous Records, uncovers truths about corn you didn't know you needed. 🌽

🎙️ Originally aired on July 6th, 2021, this early episode of The DOD45 Show is back by demand (or rather, necessity—thanks to Spotify's boneheaded account termination 😑).

This is Episode 9, folks—WAY back in the show’s skeleton phase. No polished graphics, no smooth pacing, no sleek new theme music, and Tai’s mic game? Let’s just say it’s a work in progress. Adrienne is barely on screen, and Tai’s pen work? Well, it’s proof that everyone starts somewhere. Cringe-worthy for us, sure, but full of charm and raw, unfiltered conversations you won’t want to miss!

In this throwback gem, Tai talks with mixed martial arts legend Carlos "The Natural Born Killer" Condit, just days before his UFC 264 fight against Max Griffin. They dig into Carlos’s love for music, his coffee obsession, BBQing secrets, and his nostalgia for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Jean-Claude Van Damme. There’s even a dive into coaching Jujitsu and how music can flip your energy switch. 🎶☕🥋
