The Nostalgia Pit

Today we welcome in one of the funniest people I know, Hunter Shabazz! Hunter is the author of Tha Wicked Kitchen (Juggalo themed cookbook), author of the Pure Beef Coloring Book, and too many more ingeniously comedic things to list here… If you are unfamiliar with his work, I highly recommend checking it out.

We chat about sprite commercials, Stephen Dorff vaping, and Fred Durst’s love of everything Russian. We also talk the disappearance of diet sodas, Coca-Cola’s racist past, and Vin Diesel.

Make sure you stick around til the end where we play the fantastic funk of the artist Flais! His track entitled Rodeo got the bumps like dyshidrosis. Link to the song and his bandcamp is in the description.

Today we welcome in a very special guest, podcast superproducer Anthony Mayes. With such podcasts as Cinephobe, Basketball Illuminati, and the Friday Mailbag (available on the Count the Dings network), Mayes has managed to elevate the idea of what a podcast producer can be. His masterful creative touches act as the rug of his podcasts – really tying the room together…

We chat about film trilogies, burritos, final bosses in movies, and the genius of Tim Curry. We also talk about how Mayes became a producer, Santa Cruz, and sound editing. Make sure you give any and all of his works a listen, because I assure you: you won’t be disappointed. 

And stick around til the end where you can hear a song made especially for and about the Cinephobe podcast. You may recognize it from an earlier episode, but hey! It’s a phile…

We got a helluva episode for you today! Welcoming back in our resident spleen Kevin aka Madshroom MC, we decided to go over some good ol’ fashioned forgotten history. Have you ever wondered why there’s never a customer in any Long John Silver’s fast food restaurants? Well, the reason is: they’re trash, but we may have discovered why they managed to stay open for so long…

We also talk the world’s most famous flatulists, job scams, and drugs. Rob also gives us one his patented reviews! This time, he’s breaking down the 2023 horror/sci-fi film Infinity Pool. And, yes! There are spoilers! So if you are concerned about seeing the movie and don’t want any details revealed, press skip once the Rob’s Reviews sounder hits. 

And a very special thank you to Drinks w/ Ron from the Half Assed Podcast Network for our commercials today. Make sure you check him out on the Outsiders Social Club, Dynasty Road Trip, and a plethora of other podcasts he hosts and produces. And make sure to stay tuned til the end where we have Madshroom’s newest single: The Manna From Heaven.

Today we welcome in one of my favorite humans in the universe – and I know you may be thinking I say that a lot, but I’ve known Ali Simmons for just twenty years and she is one of the best friends a person could ask for. Recently venturing into the world of art and graphic design, Ali joins us today to talk video games, 90s infomercials, and fan art. She gifted us with a wonderful piece of art that you can find on our socials right now! Chef’s kiss…

As she has recently launched her own business which you can find on Instagram at pluvialart. If you are wondering what that might mean, pluvial is an adjective referring to something of or relating to rain, especially much rain, or rainy. Being born in the Pacific Northwest, it felt only natural to adopt said moniker. You can also check out her art at pluvialart.com/shop. Links will be in the description.

Make sure you stick around til the end of the episode where you can hear the song Bouquet Grey by artist Secret Crush – one of Rob’s many collaborative efforts, and one of my favorite jams.

In this episode, we dive into the musical career of Rob, artistic purity, and the relationship between listener and audience. We also dig into the multitude of monikers of Riddle, fame, and Seth Rogan’s laugh.

Today we’re turning the spotlight inward to talk with the silent member of The Nostalgia Pit: Alex Riddle. You may recognize his name from our intro, as he is the person who makes Rob and I sound like smooth operators as opposed to dying crows. This interview, broken into two parts, contains gestating on the expectations of a content creator, the ethics of social media, and segregationist ideology. We also find a glaring mistake by Google – truly baffling.

Today, we welcome in one my favorite humans on the planet earth and the person i’m happy to call my partner in life and crime: Celina Flores. Celina is a multi talented photographer, producer, and drummer hailing from Portland, Or. As she has been in the background of almost every recording, we figured it was about time we gave her the microphone!

In this episode, we dig into reality shows, people watching, and the need for constructive criticism. We also bring back one of our favorite segments: Song Spelunker! We dig into an earworm that everyone knows the melody to, but many don’t know the subtleties of the lyrics: Kiss From A Rose by the infamous Seal!

Fresh off a tour with his hip hop duo ShrapKnel, we sit down with a man who makes the insanely difficult look inanely easy; Prem Rock is a rap artist originally from Philadelphia but now hailing from NYC. In this episode, we tackle being conscious of consumption while on tour, the expectations of entertainers, and passive vs. overt disrespect. We also go on to talk about his recent run opening for Souls of Mischief, clickbait headlines, and we recap the Mandela Effect.

Today, we’re sitting down with a fantastic human I’ve had the pleasure of knowing about a decade now, Josh Dahlquist. I got to meet Josh through my musical meanderings once upon a time, meeting him through his stage persona: Beige as the lead vocalist of the group Triceracorn. Now, he’s doing fantastic stick-n-poke tattoos out of his private studio in Seattle, but still finds time to make music, clothing, and enjoy the beauty of everyday.

In this episode, Beige came down to Portland and stopped by the Pit to talk about the differences of stick-n-poke vs machine tattoos, roller derby, and calling hecklers onstage. We also chat about making art intentionally, eating strange foods, and the concept of consumption vs. creation.

If you wanna book a tattoo with Beige or learn more about his art, you can find him on instagram @nowyoureshattered. And make sure you stay tuned til the end of the episode, where we play a choice cut of the album Porcelain by Triceracorn entitled “Black Water.” Links will be in the description.
