🎙️ Factor Chandelier’s Borderline Chaos, Studio Floods & Wisdom Teeth

🔄 Be Kind, Please Rewind! 🔄 We’re bringing back another classic episode from way back in the early days of The DOD45 Show (episode 15 out of 100+ and counting! 🤯) as part of our massive rerun drop—thanks to Spotify pulling a dumb move and terminating our podcast account. So now, we're speed-uploading 3+ episodes a day until they're all back where they belong. 🏃💨 🔥 This one originally aired September 5, 2021, and then got a rewind treatment on May 9, 2023—now combined into one wild ride. Expect zero polish, offbeat pacing, missing co-host moments, Tai still figuring out how to host a show (and draw on camera), and a total lack of our signature theme music. But hey, it’s still a hell of a convo! 😆 🔹 Our guest? The legendary Factor Chandelier 🎧—hip-hop producer extraordinaire, Fake Four staple, and a man with a dog named Pirate (yes, Tai drew him a portrait). 🎤 In this episode: Factor’s double album drop (Eastlake & First Storm) after pandemic delays. The studio flood that inspired Eastlake. 🌊 His early career, from "Factor" to "Factor Chandelier." Tour nightmares: Border crossings, Utah traffic stops, and major stress. That time his track "Wisdom Teeth" landed in an Oakley commercial with Action Bronson voiceovers. 🕶️ His work with Ceschi, Fake Four, and the Codefendants. Regina vs. Saskatoon: The great Canadian hip-hop rivalry. 🇨🇦 Eddie Murphy, Roddy Piper, interventions, onions, and being a good homie. 🤷‍♂️ 🎭 Sophie's Choice Showdowns: 🤔 Ghost Dog or Ghostbusters? 🎤 Killer Mike or Open Mike Eagle? 🎛️ DJ Krush or Cut Chemist? 👕 Hoodie or Bunny Hug? 🎳 Bowling or Biking? 🎵 Beastie Boys or Geto Boys? 🎵 Song Shares: "The Partisan" by Leonard Cohen 🎸🇫🇷 Originally titled "La Complainte du Partisan," this song was adapted by Leonard Cohen and featured on his 1969 album Songs from a Room.
