Jesse the Tree and Mopes on The DOD45 Show Episode 120

On this episode of The DOD45 Show we sit down with two of the funniest and most genuine creators in the Strange Famous orbit. 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.
