The LIKEITORNOT Podcast

A certified cheesemonger who can also talk MF DOOM bars without blinking is exactly the kind of guest that turns a live podcast into something you can’t make up. We’re posted up at Pizza Time Pub on Sixth Avenue with Kijon Underwood, letting the conversation bounce between hip hop nerdery, neighborhood truth, and the everyday craft of working a cheese counter at Metropolitan Market in Proctor. We get into why DOOM’s wordplay, samples, and mask-era mythology still hit, then flip it into the most important question nobody asked: what cheese would MF DOOM actually buy, and would he recommend it with a straight face. From there we go full Tacoma food and drink mode, swapping picks like Peaks and Pints for day drinking, Tacoma Pie for a dependable bite, and late-night moves like Eurobytes when you need something that still slaps after hours. Kijon also breaks down what makes a truly special cheese worth the price, including Rogue River Blue, plus the difference between real quality and grocery store theater. Along the way we hit Tacoma changes, the Tacoma Aroma backstory, dive bars, tattoos, a quick cameo from Del Brown with a Tacoma Mission Thrift plug, and the kind of wild Sixth Avenue stories locals recognize instantly.

A random afternoon at Pizza Time Pub on Sixth Avenue turns into the kind of raw Tacoma sports podcast you cannot script. Frank and I were sitting in the window with a drink, a mic, and a full room behind us when the talk jumps from WWF nostalgia and all-time wrestler picks to a surprisingly serious question: why do we get so attached to the sports eras we grew up in? That thread runs through everything, even when we are cracking jokes or getting sidetracked by a no-caller ID interrupting the table. Then we go right at the third rail of NBA conversation: LeBron James vs Michael Jordan and what “GOAT” even means. We argue stats, defense, rule changes, and longevity, and we admit the real issue is how different eras get judged by different standards. If you love NBA history, playoff basketball, or just hearing friends debate without polishing every word, this section is for you. From there it opens up into stories and community: a deployment memory that still makes us laugh, draft talk through the lens of parenting, a live call-in with Casey Harkins, Seahawks and softball nostalgia, burger spots worth driving for, and Tacoma names that deserve more credit. We even get a surprise drop-by from Sam McMahon with tattoo info and quick San Diego travel tips before we close with shout-outs and a Grateful Dead send-off.

LIKEITORNOT is back with another entertaining episode for your listening pleasure. Dive into the sultry sounds of a drunken sailor, as host AHyp, introduces the LIKEITORNOT family to Sam the man, SamTooPersonal on Instagram, in this 1 hour & 6 minute long episode that you’ll keep the earbuds in for as you walk into work or cook or whatever the hell it is your doing at the moment. Background beats by Truss One make it easy to listen too and the fact I don’t edit this thing also allows the listeners to hear it all.. the fuck ups, the rebounds and the bounce back. We talk about Sam’s music background & that time when he was a part of the Seattle rap scene, shoutout to Casual Product, Burien stand up. He speaks on his journey becoming an online influencer, documenting his weight loss journey, being a comedian (by nature dude is just hilarious!) and being authentic. He tells you how to do it and tells us what works for him. Step by step, literally. Recorded live, midday at Pizza Time Pub, in the heart of the 6th Avenue business district, this episode was unofficially sponsored by Rainier Beer. Ironically, Sam speaks on his journey with sobriety, balancing fatherhood and work, all while becoming an online influencer. He tells us how he does it, how he maintains and how he presses forward. A funny but truly inspiring episode. The sky was blue all day and Rick kept the Rainier’s coming all show, this was a fun one.

I recently had the pleasure of having the owner Eda & some of the core members of the Manuscript restaurant team on the podcast. And with the help of my good friend Chef Lewis of Radnor’s Burgers, some Philly cheesesteaks from Legendz & 100 proof tequila from my guests, this episode quickly became an instant classic. Another huge thanks to Eastside Bill for capturing the moment as well and a huge thanks to DJ QJ of Post Office Studios for opening the space for me once again. As some of you may already know, Manuscript has ditched the old school style a kitchen has been known to be ran and has instead, installed a new, conventional, teamwork style that has all chefs seeing eye to eye. From new recipe items on the food menu to new drinks on the cocktail menu, this spot works as a team and consult with each other on everything. You feel it the moment you walk in. And it shows in the food. The way it looks and especially the way it tastes. Same with the drinks. Everything done with care. S/O Eda! They did that and are doing it still. If you haven’t been in yet, this is your calling. They also boast one of the best brunches in town-fully intact with local dj’s DJ Semaj & DJ Hanibal who keep the vibe rolling every weekend. Stop in for happy hour to check the place out or book your holiday event with them, you won’t be let down.

LIKEITORNOT is back with an episode that will have you wanting to listen to it in the dark. Or atleast with a group of scary movie enthusiasts and fans of Halloween because I had the pleasure of having horror film aficionado and true Halloween fan Anthony Dluzak on the podcast this past week. And between him and I and Chef Lewis of Radnor’s stories (who guest hosted with me) we may just scare the shit outta ya. We recite scary movie lines too and shared our favorite scary movies of course and why, we brought old trick or treating stories up and so much more off the wall stories, you’ll just have to tune in to see what I mean. Never edited, just classic, spooky Halloween banter between a group of dudes having cold beverages and getting animated as fuck about how Classic those 80’s horror films were and how we were just so lucky to have such authentic scary movies being filmed in the 80’s. We give up our favorite directors of that genre too. I truly learned a lot from Anthony about horror films in general, again, you just gotta listen! I take the cast off track a few times but that’s LIKEITORNOT’s style, we always get back on track eventually! Anthony speaks on  "Friday Night Frights" which is his monthly screening party at the Blue Mouse Theater in the beautiful Proctor district, a tradition that’s been happening for 11 years now! He also tells us all about the Halloween Parade/Street Festival that’s coming up in Proctor a week and half before Halloween. (Which lands on a Friday this year folks!) We talk about costumes we’d worn throughout our Halloween careers and so much more. We could’ve made this a 4 hour episode easy. Hope you all enjoy this one. Appreciate all of you out there supporting and checking out the podcast as well. Also a huge thanks to Anthony & Chef Lew for sharing their time.

The LIKEITORNOT Podcast presents The Chef’s Table- a new miniseries presented by host Andy Hyppa & his division of homies who happen to be chef’s, owners or workers in the restaurant/service industry. In this miniseries we will go behind the scenes in the trenches and get basic, lifelong tips in the kitchen from chef’s who have been there and done that. And of course dive into the why. You may wonder why they put themselves thru all that pain? I’m kidding about the pain part (kind of) but I can imagine it’s not easy! Haha I mean, especially in Tacoma. You got the GTG (grease trap gang) and other obstacles hindering small businesses from growing and thriving and making a real living out of their true passion. And so we’ll dive into those ups and downs and allow the chef’s and guests to take us on authentic rides we’ll never forget. Tacoma is magical and so are its people. Come hear how these folks started from the bottom and made their way to the top, through the struggle and all, LIKEITORNOT🎙️🏆🍽️Support the showThanks for listening to the latest episode of LIKEITORNOT🎙️🏆

LIKEITORNOT is finally back with the 2nd episode of 2024, with the one and only Jan Parker! I was nervous for this one but those feelings quickly dissipated after we hit record. We started the day doing Brunch at Manuscript, a new Tacoma Restaurant/Night Club off of a Tacoma Ave.  in the old Odin Brewing location. I was hungover. JP of All Purpose Media accompanied us and got some video that we’ll drop soon. S/O my brother Billee for coming down too and taking some amazing photos. Guys, this is an amazing episode. It’ll make ya laugh, think a little and maybe even cry. I teared up a few times but you gotta listen to see how and why. We go over Jan’s whole life basically and she tells all on this Part 1, hour and thirty minute long episode. She’s proof that your dreams can become reality if you attack them with a plan. Overcoming obstacles is nothing new for Jan, being a woman and a woman of color, she talks about real adversity she’s overcame, just a real no frills no gimmicks episodes, she even tells us where she eats out locally and she may have even given some of her cooking tips up during this episode. But you have to tune in to see. Again, no editing, like usual and had some Truss One instrumentals playing in the background to ease our minds. I’m out though, I hope you guys like this one, it flowed like water. Lastly, Happy National Women’s month, LIKEITORNOT 🏆🎙️👩‍🍳Support the showThanks for listening to the latest episode of LIKEITORNOT🎙️🏆

Welcome to the first episode of the year. Just me in my living room recapping the first few weeks of 2024 and giving my two cents on a few local Tacoma food spots. First off, I’m letting you know about the Buddy's Chicken & Waffles x Sidepiece Kitchen Buddy collab and that it is back this week! They are said to only be making 150 of the Buddy Bowls, so make sure to get yours!!  On another note, Go Philly has the best Philly Cheesesteak’s in town and I wanted to let you all know that.  They got wings to die for as well. I touch on our amazing pizza scene & how you can’t go wrong with Tacoma Pie, Salamone’s or Camp Colvos, to name a few. (I know there’s a few spots I missed but it’s all good)  I just highlight the fact that we have this amazing, constantly budding food scene and I vow to cover more of it this year. Remember y’all, I ain’t a foodie I just eat a lot. Lastly, the fcking French dip from O’Malley’s was SO good you guys I’m not  even playin’! 9.4 type good. Yes, 9.4. The tunes in this episode were brought to you by Khris P (BBL Money & SHARKEESHA) which I play in the middle and then at the end I play (Finding My Way) by Truss One.

The summer kick off for the Tacoma Sunday Market commenced the first Sunday of June down at the Old Post Office Building and I was fortunate enough to sit down with the man, the myth, the legend himself, Mr. DJ Supreme La Rock. He was also DJ’n this day so we had a limited amount of time as we sat and conversed about his early upbringings and introduction to hip hop, his early and continued love and support of BMX riding and the BMX community and how he got to be a household name, DJ’n all across the world, living a dream that he continues to live to this day. Follow him on all socials and find out how to hear his shows on KEXP. Pro tip-GO to the club you don’t want to go to when he is there.

This past Sunday, as Mother’s Day festivities commenced, I had the opportunity to host another episode of what is widely known as thee LIKEITORNOT Podcast. My guests that evening were Perry Porter and Baloogz, who are a duo for the first time with Porter’s release of "Chariot”. Out for a week now it boasts perhaps the best features I’ve seen on an album for awhile, (peep the track list) and the sounds and vibe that Baloogz aka Big Splash brings to the album are just so timely for the upcoming summer weather. Add that with Perry Porter’s unique, creative sound and you’ve got straight bangers from start to finish! Play it in the club, play it at the all the backyard bbq’s this summer and especially when you are rolling on the waterfront in your respective city, if y’all have a waterfront to roll, but, LIKEITORNOT, this is an episode you will definitely want to tune in to. We had food catered by the homie @teehalseth of the @theboomboomroomtacoma  there was crawfish quesadillas, pork belly bites, this amazing meat gumbo, it was so fire! Of course we had backwoods galore, @titosvodka and more.Support the showThanks for listening to the latest episode of LIKEITORNOT🎙️🏆

He talks about his musical influences, his growth as a musician and what it takes to persevere through the worst of circumstances, in life and in his art. We talk about his native roots, basketball and how they’ve coexisted forever.  Just so much to talk about m, it’s tough to put it all in this write up. DJ QJ joins us for a moment as well, Eastside Bill was back in the studio snapping photos and shooting BTS stuff. All in all, possibly the best episode of LIKEITORNOT to date.
