🎙️ Throwback Episode: The Cloaks on The DOD45 Show 🎙️

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: Merle Haggard or Meryl Streep? 🤔 Tony Hawk or Tony Danza? 🛹 vs. 🕺 A Clockwork Orange or 2001: A Space Odyssey? 🍊🚀 Kendrick Lamar or Lamar Odom? 🎤🏀 Gwar or Nardwuar? 🤘🎤 Danny Trejo or Danny Elfman? 🔪🎶 💡 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. 🎶 🖼️ Get Your Hands on the Art!
