Series 3 – When We Almost Had It Figured Out!
💥 We’re bringing back all our past episodes (2 or more a day!) after Spotify decided to pull a boneheaded move by terminating The DOD45 Show podcast account. Yeah, we said it—come on, Spotify! 😒 But hey, nothing’s stopping us from getting these gems back to you! 💪
This episode originally dropped on June 30, 2022, and it’s a banger from Series 3—the season where we hit our groove, almost perfected the format, but were still a far cry from where we are now beyond Series 7. Seriously, if you’ve been with us this long, you’ve seen the evolution! 🚀
👥 Special Guests:
@gelroc & @awolone of The Cloaks—legends in the underground scene!
🎨 Tai was busy drawing Bebop and Rocksteady as Walrop & GelRoc-Steady, while the conversation went off the rails (in the best way possible). They covered everything from:
🔸 April O'Neil to Bob's Burgers 🍔
🔸 The Rock vs. Dumb Starbucks 🤨
🔸 Kendrick Lamar, Aceyalone, and how a camel cools down 🐫
🔸 The Punky Brewster episode that scarred us all (you know the one) 😳
🔸 Alien invasions, human survival instincts, and the versatility of playing cards 👽🃏
🔸 The hilarious (but not-so-plausible) theory that The Cloaks were formed as a response to Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s conscious uncoupling 😂
🔥 Sophie's Choice Showdowns:
💡 Did You Know?
Spin Magazine once labeled Awol One and others as Emo Rap pioneers before it was even a thing. 🤯
Also, The Cloaks are notorious for their insane amount of scratching on albums, showing mad respect for DJs. 🎶
