Retro Radio

Voltron kids. Toronto vs Compton. Missed man dates.

Golf, the Tuskegee Airmen, and answering some bizarre questions for this episode.

The GOAT of guests arrives on the Retro Radio Pod to chop it up with the fellas. No show notes, just tune in.

Our boy Drew (@thedrewness) came back from visiting the Outback and like BIG said, he got a story to tell. Bricking fits,

Ending 2023 on a spicy... and delayed note. Life updates, end of year sneaker pickups, and hating on our former places of employment.

The boys are back! Faces of scammers, prior episode corrections, and life giving us the two piece and a biscuit hands combination. Tune in.

Not much to say here. For our first episode with 3 people in the studio, we brought a heavy hitter in the form of Nico "Papi" Marks (@itsnicomarks), another multi-hyphenate talent with big things on the horizon, and whose work is defined by flyness through the lens of blackness.

Q&A time to welcome you back from the hiatus! Father's Day takes, teenage angst music, and Peruvian cuisine.

Boogie and Drew get into Meet and Mead, life in Long Beach, and stupidly expensive Disney trips.

The guys get into the very broad world of streetwear enthusiasts, how wack traveling for work is, and food hacks (if you order a burger at 5 Guys, ask for a grilled cheese style burger. They flip the bun on the flat side and toast it for more overall crunch.)

Long Beach's finest Bryer Garcia comes by the pod to discuss entrepreneurship, coffee, and building communities.

Boogie and Drew catch up in the New year take in listener questions as well as The Last of Us (SPOILER ALERTS), recent purchases, parenthood, and more. 

Camilo Smith (@houstonrazarapproject) swings by to chop it up about the nuances behind documentary filmmaking, as well as Houston's eclectic music scene. 

The guys are back for a year end review of their personal lives and sneakers. 

Boogie goes bi-coastal with his boy Gerard and discuss early Niketalk, Internet friends, and the importance of finding your niche of people.

Drew and Boogie catch up on life and answer some mailbag questions from listeners. 

Boogie links with longtime friend Geo Delgado to talk burgers, streetwear, and his career journey. 

From Youtube to your standard audio outlets! Boogie and Drew discuss his new community effort Meet and Mead, and then we get into our favorite shoe purchases of the first half of 2022. 

Internet family, roll out! Your favorite Puerto Rican's favorite Puerto Rican and myself get into the Brown Liquor Collective, life growing up in Oklahoma, fatherhood, and one wild sneaker story that ends in tragedy. 

ASIAN LEVEL 9000. Boogie and Fred get into the inception of Seoul Athletic Club, the Asian American experience, dealing with our own mortality, and a whole lot more. 

Boogie gives some life updates and answers some listener questions.

The only sitter that can put up with my bullsh*t was gracious enough to be our first guest for Season 2. We discuss culture clashes in LA, modern dating, and a whole lot of 818 slander (from her not me). It's a long episode, but well worth the listen. 

Giving you all updates on the goings-on of Boogie, and what to expect from Season 2. 

Asian level 9,000 on this episode. Victoria and I discuss our atypical upbringings, our affinity for the Corean culture, and among other things, proper peace sign positioning for pictures. 

Dropping this to celebrate The Hip Pops' newest addition to the fam, Augustin Azul Hernandez! In this ep we discuss COVID weight gain, Pride Month, and a whole lot of music. Everyone send a congrats to my guy B!

Boogie and Steph discuss modern relationships, home ownership, and perfecting one's slander game. 

On losing a child, co-parenting, washed life, and a whole lot of stuff in between.

Boogie and Steve delve into politics, modern masculinity, and blue collar life.  

Self care, herby dads, the Toronto music scene, and a whole lot of other stuff gets covered on this episode featuring T Dot legend Sharrief Sims aka @dad_off_duty. 

Tour life, tough pregnancies, and cussing up a storm around your kids, featuring none other than TSS alumni and my guy Trackstar the DJ. Catch him on tour soon with Run The Jewels, or on his Shade 45 show "The Smoking Section."

Death, taxes, and financial ratchetry. The three guarantees of my life until I came across a tax pro that actually cared about my family's future. Edwin and I chopped it up over financial literacy, giving out your "secret sauce" for free, and the importance of recognizing and giving back to the community you come from. Check him out at www.edwindoestaxes.com. 

I was fortunate enough to chop it up with producer and MC extraordinaire Body Bag Ben (what up Karate Kid fans) on music, parenthood, life in Southern California, and the next moves he's making (spoiler alert: they're major). 

Linking up with none other than cultural educator John Gotty for Paul George slander, aging gracefully, and the pitfalls of taking Hip Hop too seriously, among other things. 

Big honor to chop it up with my guy/menswear insider/camp collar gawd Scott Wicken to review what we thought was the best and worst of 2020 for men's style. 

Reviewing our favorite sneakers and biggest duds of 2020 before Retro Radio officially launches in 2021! Random Complex employee slander, the science behind kicks, and one of my guys ruining my favorite purchase. 

Brief intro on what to expect from Retro Radio.
