"From the Fader to the Percolator: How DJ Pez Became the King of Coffee"

July 08, 2021 12:45 - 1 hour - 64.6 MB

In the mid 90s, I "performed" in a "talent show" at Chapel Hill High School. After an embarrassing debacle involving myself, a cassette single of "Shook Ones, Part II" and some awkward freestyles, a tall man with dangling dreadlocks took the stage. In a deep baritone, he spoke into a microphone and said the words that would haunt me for years to come: "What's up, Chapel Hill?" By the end of the decade we would come to be good friends and in 2021 he visited my studio and made me coff...

"I can't talk right now, I'm doing rat girl shit." - Lily's Rat Club

April 08, 2021 13:31 - 1 hour - 58.8 MB

Ah yes. In the words of Staind, "It's been awhile." But I am thrilled to be back with my favorite Ratfluencer from the UK, Lily from Lily's Rat Club! I can't stress enough how much I love her rat content, because hey, I think rats kick ass. And if you are sitting there thinking I'm crazy, then this is definitely the podcast for you. Lily and I break down why we think rats are cool and lace this podcast with numerous rat facts that will have you re-thinking your position on "sexy sl...

Whitney Dane is our very first Podcast Hollywood Clapback™

February 17, 2021 20:06 - 1 hour - 55.3 MB

Whitney Dane is a personal chef based in a rural town outside Chapel Hill, North Carolina and a good friend of mine. Though she was born in Manteo, part of our beautiful Outer Banks (like the TV show, only real), she found herself living in South Pasadena, California at young age where she became best friends with an actress by the name of Nicholle Tom. (You may know her from such films as Beethoven and Beethoven's 2nd and shows like The Nanny but I prefer to think of her as the the...

Giovanni Marks starring in "Old School R&B Dudes and The Elevator of Death"

January 18, 2021 17:34 - 1 minute - 1.56 MB

NOTE FROM THE PRODUCER: This episode has mysteriously vanished. Feel free to listen for a synopsis of the strange circumstances. If you heard it, you heard it. We apologize for the inconvenience. The original notes still have relevant links.  -------------------- If I really think about it, Giovanni Marks (neé Subtitle) was the first person I saw use the term "lurk mode" so I probably owe him $5 for that. But technically I was into lurking way before we ever met. I got obsessed with ...

Interview and 90s Rap Trivia with Eric Steuer

January 07, 2021 15:16 - 1 hour - 55.5 MB

Eric Steuer is who I strive to be. A lifetime hip hop artist, podcast host, writer, husband & father, beekeeper, race car driver, cyclops, and all around cool dude*. I knew him back in the Meanest Man Contest days but his rap career has never dwindled - from Not the 1s to Dos Feeliz my dude has stayed active. But besides just hip hop we have a lot of mutual interests from the OG Beverly Hills, 90210 to being Rappers Who Run™. It's these commonalities that influenced my decision t...

YOU BETTER LURK - Lurk Mode is finally here.

January 04, 2021 18:33 - 5 minutes - 7.15 MB

It's finally here. My "Chinese Democracy". My "Detox". My "The Queen's Gambit". What can I say? Like many a podcast with a twitchy host, this podcast is a gateway into my mind and the things that I like. Rap. Shoes. Television. I don't want to spend forever talking about it because hopefully we'll be growing together. I will say that if you have fucked with any of my projects over the years, from music to podcasts and everything in between, you will probably enjoy the ride. If you ...
