Month: February 2022

Welcome to episode 29. Tonight’s show starts off with a little Young Dolph (RIP) talk, and some insight to our opening music. Bill’s preparing for his Hawaiian vacation to the Big Island for the next 7 days, which also means there won’t be an episode next week.

Eddie brags about the bomb food he’s had lately, reminiscing on his days in San Diego. Shoutout to McDonald’s Taro pies, and Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Empanadas. Also to Chef Roy Choy’s Broken Bread show on PBS here in SoCal, and tortilleria Kernel of Truth.

This week’s Vans releases include the Vault x Worksout “1^st Anniversary” Custom OG Authentic LX; Crayola Collaboration; Vault x Kar “Dragster” Old Skool VLT LX; Krooked x Natas for Ray Barbee pack.

@kiddnamedclay joins the chat, and we share his Vans jingle that’s been getting a little traction around the community. We discuss the “These Projects Are Ads For Creativity” campaign, and then give a major shout-out to Goodhood co-founder Kyle Stewart’s Hypebeast interview. We then go on a tangent about the movie RAD, and the disappointing cancellation of the 50^th anniversary Era.

We then discuss our favorite topic as usual, NFTs. This time, a hacker stole $1.7 million in NFTs from OpenSea users, which is hilarious. Oh, and Nicky Diamonds is creating a metaverse, complete with Diamond “Tiffany” Dunks you can dress up in. We close out the show discussing some of our favorite Old Skools, which we could go on for days, but we mentioned the KITH x Mastermind Old Skool LX, Blends “Bones” Old Skool Zip LX, and the Our Legacy Old Skool 92 Pro LX.

Welcome to episode 28 folks! It’s been a busy week, full of some new Vans stuff to talk about, but first a little bit of small talk about work, and some of the crazy stuff we’ve dealt with over the years. What are we drinking? Ed is trying out Bang’s new Vooz hydration sensation drink; Joey has a Pint House “Green Battles” American IPA, and Bill has one of his Burgeon favorites, the Juice Press Hazy IPA.

This week saw a few releases. The All Nations Skate Jam collection for 2022 finally dropped. WTAPS released their Olive GPS pack in Asia, and we are finally getting the BAPE x Vans release we were asking for. Perfect camo selection. Perfect color choices. Apparel is still sus, but we’ll take it.

Super Bowl half time show was off the hook. Eminem rocked a pair of sick exclusively made AJ III’s, which we’ll probably never see release. We also reminisce over some of his dopest collabs over the years.

Our main topic of discussion was around order cancellations from Vans.com that have been happening way more than the usual, and it’s starting to get out of hand. We dive in a little bit, based on some knowledge we’ve learned about what may be the reason behind this, but regardless, shit’s getting pretty old real quick. We get on a tangent about where returned pairs go, and then on a “sub-tangent” about factory seconds, and the discount market. Also in regards to reselling, we hit on 3^rd party sellers on some major online webstores, and how resell prices are dictating new retail prices, so stop buying into it.

Supreme previews their Spring/Summer ’22 drop, and Bill just wants a bunch of Kraft Mac ‘N Cheese boxes, so help him out lol. We also do a little bit of mail call, and for this week, we see some Notres, some Sandy Liangs, some Upside-Down Asia Tiger Pack, and some Vans Family accessories. Good stuff.

After some recent storms took out Ed last week, we’re back better and stronger than ever, with some fresh new things to talk about. Schedules have been a little funky, but we’re making it work. Ed’s drinking a Wild Watermelon Bang. Joe’s got a Slice Beer Co. Vaxx to the Future DIPA, and Bill is working with a Harland x Mortalis Hydra Fluff Smoothie Style Sour Ale.

Vans releases for the past few weeks include the Vault x Javier Calleja Pack; the Vault x Notre OG Style 36 LX; the Vans Skate x Palace Skate Old Skool; the Vault x Dobale Collection; the Vault 2022 Preview; and the Vault x WTaps Olive GPS Coordinates Japan-exclusive pack.

Shout-out to the 2 new followers on Twitch! We get off on a tangent about merchandise, and t-shirt printing, and making hats, pins, and random shit. We share some of our mistakes with the process, and we’ve all gained a little wisdom from it.

We spoke a little on our crazy weather. Bill & Tin are going to Hawaii’s Big Island in a few weeks, so that should be fun. Talked a little about Poke and some of our favorite fresh fish we love to eat.

We went into overtime this week, with a topic near and dear to our hearts…NFTs! Nike is suing StockX over them. Our culture is being bought and sold back to us in the form of them. People are losing fortunes on them. What’s not to love about them? Our culture is constantly trying to be infiltrated, and we’re still doing our best to keep the bullshit out of it. Speaking of culture, Clayton (@wearingwaffles) is in town this week, and wants to meet up on Thursday night, so check out his invite on his IG for the info!

You can drop in for the live Twitch stream, every Tuesday (10PM CDT / 8PM PDT), or on our Youtube channel. Audio formats can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Anchor. At the beginning of 2023, Kick hit 1M users in record time; at the same time, Twitch was reported to have about 140 million active monthly users.

Furthermore, fans were ecstatic when Canadian musician Drake streams on Kick and made a reappearance in live streaming.
