Episode Description from the Publisher

On this episode of the podcast, we put some heavy hitters from the 90s music scene head-to-head in our “This or That” segment. We also dive into 2Pac’s Makaveli era and why it felt like the beginning of a deeper artistic chapter for Pac. The nostalgia keeps rolling as we talk about pager codes being the original text messages, the mid-80s controversy when parents and teachers tried to ban Garbage Pail Kids, and the delicate art of cassette tape surgery. Tuck also tells the story of hearing Too $hort’s “The Ghetto” for the first time in a smoky arcade, plus we get into daylight savings time confusion, Discord Drops, a banging Fit Check, listener shout-outs, fan mail, and a whole lot more.
