Mr. Dibbs returns to The DOD45 Show to kick off 2026 with a focused, funny, and strangely revealing conversation that covers Ohio origins, tour life, Strange Famous energy, and the kind of everyday questions that accidentally expose your entire personality. Dibbs is a Cincinnati lifer, DJ, producer, artist, and one of the key architects of Midwest underground hip hop. His new album Ohio Dirt is landing on Strange Famous Records, and we talk about what it means for that record to live in that world. We also circle back to multiple eras of Dibbs releases and let the memories show up if they want to. Did you know Dibbs has publicly written about Deadworld Reborn taking on deeper meaning after a medical incident where he briefly died for about 53 seconds, with the project becoming tied to tribute and preservation. Movie shares Good Fortune directed by Aziz Ansari Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKWndx83RwQ IMDb describes it as involving an inept angel meddling in the lives of a gig worker and a wealthy venture capitalist.

Sage Francis on The DOD45 Show | Episode 120 A New Year conversation with one of independent hip hop’s most thoughtful voices. In this episode of The DOD45 Show, we’re joined by Sage Francis, rapper, poet, label head, and founding force behind Strange Famous Records. This is a focused, reflective discussion about memory, internet culture, touring, creative longevity, and what it means to speak honestly while moments are still unfolding. We talk about growing up in the same cultural era without living the same life, how pop culture imprints differently when you’re young, and why comment sections have become their own strange ecosystems. Sage also reflects on touring with Winter Carnival, Strange Famous community lore, and how creative priorities shift with time. No press cycle energy. Just conversation. 🎬 Movie Recommendation Megalopolis directed by Francis Ford Coppola An ambitious, polarizing film that feels like a master filmmaker taking one final, unapologetic swing. Not built for fast consumption. Best experienced with patience.

Jesse the Tree and Mopes join us to talk about their brand new Strange Famous Records album Worm in Heaven and the conversation swings from deep introspection to absolute comedy with no warning at all. These two bring out the best in each other and the best in the room. We talk about everything from childhood hangouts to creative rituals to the kind of small everyday memories that end up shaping entire careers. Jesse talks about how his work as a therapist informs his writing. Mopes breaks down how his journey from Prolyphic to full time producer changed the way he listens to music. And we toss in the kind of questions only this show would ask. Which NBA legend has the most Strange Famous energy. Who wins a Royal Rumble between Sage Francis Slug BlackLiq Onry Toadstool Defcee Andrew Fatboi Sharif and K the I. Imagine the answers. Our movie pick this week is Wing Women. The film has been called “sharp fast and refreshingly character driven” by several reviewers who praised its action and humor blend.

His albums from Pigeon Man to Treely Dan have been praised as honest vulnerable and quietly brilliant. Mopes formerly Prolyphic has one of the most respected discographies in East Coast indie hip hop with projects ranging from The Ugly Truth to Unwound.

Chicago’s multi-instrumental enigma NNAMDÏ crashes into The DOD45 Show for his very first visit, and this one goes everywhere. From math-rock chaos to hip-hop confessionals to avant-pop surrealism, NNAMDÏ opens up about the creative impulse that refuses to obey genre, job security, or even gravity. Born to Nigerian parents, armed with an electrical-engineering degree he’ll probably never use again, NNAMDÏ walks us through the leap from “safe” life to full-time sonic adventure. We talk about finding peace in the noise, what it costs to stay independent, and why humor might be the most radical instrument in music. We unpack the layered insanity of his albums Brat and Please Have a Seat, and touch the early weirdness of “Scarlett Johansson” and “Vasectomy,” and suggest “Let Go of My Ego” as the moment he learned to stop explaining himself. Then we break the format and dive into the DOD45 gauntlet: 🌀 If reincarnation’s real, which fly species does NNAMDÏ choose — dragon, house, butter, or may? 🌀 Who's getting the vote... Kendrick or Björk? 🌀 Wet the toothbrush before or after the toothpaste? 🌀 Cats or Synths? Harp or Recorder? Beach sunrise or City sunrise? 🌀 And somehow Mr. T comes up, and so do eyelashes? (He has answers… and they’re beautifully strange.) When Mr. Dibbs bursts in with a “Mayo or Miracle Whip” blitz, NNAMDÏ's asked to throw Tai into a vat of either.... which spirals into pitting Nirvana vs Nine Inch Nails and Sooper Records vs Super Mario... NNAMDÏ doesn’t flinch. He just laughs, reflects, and somehow turns it all philosophical. 🎬 Movie Share: I’m Thinking of Ending Things... Charlie Kaufman’s brain-bender starring Jessie Buckley. A film that bends identity and time the same way NNAMDÏ bends genre and expectation. 🎧 Music Shares: • “57 Ways to Die” by Lord Toozy & J57... dark humor with a killer pulse. • “Future Now” by Fritz Cook... a hopeful groove about persistence and strange beauty. 💻 Other Key Links ArtByTai – https://www.instagram.com/artbytai   DOD45 – https://www.instagram.com/dod45w   Strange Famous Records – https://StrangeFamousRecords.com   Mr Dibbs – https://MrDibbs.com   Speakerface Store – https://Speakerface.Store   🎧 DOD45 LUVS Playlist: https://tidal.com/playlist/9dd15982-32da-45a5-87d6-21be12e911a4  f you love fearless art, unfiltered conversation, and creative minds that color outside the frame, hit LIKE, COMMENT, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE this episode.

The 2025 Halloween episode of The DOD45 Show brings back sibling band Slughead for 45 minutes of spooky fun, underground hip-hop energy, and live drawing. We set the timer, put pen to paper, and create an original black-and-white piece in real time while talking Halloween movies, haunted house memories, and the band’s origin story. If you enjoy podcasts, Halloween, drawing, art, and the independent music ecosystem that connects artists like Sage Francis and Mr. Dibbs, you’re in the right place. You’ll hear clips and references spanning Slughead’s catalog, from “Vamps in Space” to “This Album Is Haunted” and Jimmy Cry, plus talk of their upcoming EP “Tales of Sweat and Stink.” We dig into the creative process behind tracks like “Serpent King,” “I Am Da Moon,” and live favorites “We Hate You, Ross” and “Fly Vampire,” and we talk about samples, synths, and why the band leans into eerie, playful storytelling. Sage Francis drops in with a thoughtful question pulled from the socials. Mr. Dibbs gets his flowers as he preps for tour. And as always, the drawing unfolds on camera while we run rapid-fire Halloween questions, swap horror recommendations, and keep the energy loose and candid. If you’re a fan of underground hip-hop, Strange Famous Records, or rising indie bands like Nalei and Slughead, this is a perfect October watch. Support Slughead’s music on Bandcamp at slughead.bandcamp.com, stream our DOD45 LUVS playlist, and catch new episodes Wednesdays at 8 pm ET when we’re in season.

We are back from a short hiatus, still deep in Series 8 of The DOD45 Show. Episodes are less frequent now with the ArtByTai art tour schedule, but when they land, they land big. Yes, this one runs long. We don’t care. We are not a podcast, we are a SHOW. It is free, we love it, and if you think it is too long, either watch it or don’t. Complaining about it is like complaining that a mural is too wide. The episode kicks off with Tai’s recap of his trip to San Francisco for the Handsmade Collective Dax Pierson Tribute Show, where he spent time with Jel of Anticon, Doseone, M. Sayyid, and Handsmade founder Zack. It was a moving night of music and visuals at the Gray Area Theater, honoring Dax Pierson of Subtle and 13 & God. Tai also drops an unofficial announcement of the DOD45 Compilation Album... nearly every past guest is on board, with beats in hand from Buck 65, Blockhead, Steel Tipped Dove, Mike Ladd, Remi Rough, DJ Zole, DJ Criminal and more, plus interludes by Mr. Dibbs. See details here. From there, the bulk of the episode dives into a full recap of the Strange Famous Ocean Mist Beach Bash in Rhode Island. Tai and Adrienne sit down with Sage Francis to laugh through memories of the show, the pizza party hosted by Early Adopted, and a gloriously chaotic whiffle ball game with the Strange Famous family. Short drop-ins from the crew Storm Davis, Mopes, Jesse the Tree, Metermaids, BlackLiq, Early Adopted, Cas One, and Seez Mics make this a true Strange Famous celebration. Packed with laughs, footage, and a whole lot of love for independent hip hop, this episode is basically a family reunion on camera. 🎬 Movie and 🎵 Music Recommendations 🍿 Film: The Ballad of Wallis Island Watch here A British comedy drama starring Tim Key as a widower who hires his favorite musician for a private concert. Carey Mulligan shows up as his chutney-selling ex. Themes of grief, nostalgia, and music as connection.

🎙 Much Given, Much Tested — And Now, Much Revealed 🔥 This is a brand-new Series 8 episode of The DOD45 Show! We’re well into the hundreds now, and who better to help us burn into the next era than lyrical powerhouse, Richmond emcee, educator, and WRIR radio host BlackLiq. In this high-voltage episode, we go track-by-track through BlackLiq’s album Much Given, Much Tested and dive headfirst into everything from parenting and pressure to calling out predators by name and writing verses that linger in your bones. Tai draws imagery from the album live while BlackLiq answers a relentless parade of deep, absurd, and revealing questions: • Would he rather lose a toe in a kung-fu tournament or a finger in a table saw accident? • What time of day does he eat lunch—and does it ruin everything? • What trauma still sits in his lyrics? Plus: • The return of Mr. Dibbs for the “Mayo vs. Miracle Whip” debate • Our “First, Worst, Thirst” segment with some brutal crowd stories • Wild hypotheticals about Nicolas Cage • Shoutouts to Slug, Sa-Roc, Haphduzn, Mopes, Michael Alan Alien, Noah-O, and more • And a taste of what makes BlackLiq one of the most honest voices in indie rap today 🎬 Episode Movie Recommendation: Athena (2022) – Directed by Romain Gavras An explosive French action-drama about three brothers reeling from the killing of their youngest sibling by police. The opening scene is a one-shot riot that will shake you awake.

📌 This is a past episode of The DOD45 Show. In this electric conversation, Tai sits down with actor, musician, and unpredictable pop-culture lightning rod Taryn Manning. From her viral "Gold Juice" saga to sharing deep thoughts about rhinos and poop (yes… poop), this is the kind of episode that swerves when you expect it to cruise. 🎤 Inside the Episode: Her breakout roles in 8 Mile, Crossroads, and Orange Is the New Black A candid reflection on media pile-ons after the Whitney Cummings Podcast Stories from her time fronting the band Boomkat and launching her solo career The bizarrely beautiful story behind her web series Sht Happens*—yes, inspired by a real Instagram post A surprise segment with Sage Francis, who pulls up a 2012 social media post that leads to a hilarious tangent A childhood game of MASH reveals her alternate life path “The Dish” rapid-fire segment: first concert, first paid gig, and surviving a freakin’ plane crash 🎧 Music Recommendations: "Predator Place" – Doseone An experimental hip-hop banger that rattles the brain and punches holes through genre boundaries. Doseone’s distinct flow turns words into sound art. "Cell Therapy" – Goodie Mob A grown-man track from one of Southern rap’s most reflective crews. This song dives into introspection and self-awareness without ever sounding corny. 💡 Did You Know?Taryn once opened for De La Soul on tour with Boomkat. She also voiced a character in the video game Scarface: The World Is Yours and once claimed she identifies more with animals than people—which explains the rhino. 🎥 Movie Recommendation: Maggie Moore(s) – Trailer This 2023 black comedy mystery blends dark humor with small-town crime suspense. Jon Hamm and Tina Fey shine in this slow-building, character-driven whodunnit that critics called “Coen-lite, but full of charm.” 🎶 Get more music shared on the show: 👉 DOD45 Luvs Song Share Spotify Playlist 💻 Stay connected: ArtByTai: @artbytai DOD45: @dod45w Strange Famous Records: strangefamousrecords.com Mr. Dibbs: mrdibbs.com Speakerface Store: speakerface.store ⭐️ If you dig what we’re doing, subscribe, rate, and leave a review.
