Runt (Jivin Scientists) on DOD45 – ReRelease of Episode 63
Saison 5 · Épisode 65
jeudi 19 juin 2025 • Durée 01:41:44
Runt of Jivin Scientists joins Tai & Adrienne for a deep-digging episode that hits all the good spots—Strange Famous Records, DuckTales nostalgia, desert survival, fishing tales, and the unexpected power of beard oil. It’s a laid-back, layered conversation with one of Tucson’s most underrated hip-hop voices.
The trio dives into the creation of Cicada, the Jivin Scientists' first release on Strange Famous Records, and Runt opens up about balancing a 20+ year music grind with his day-to-day running Thunder Canyon Brewery—Tucson’s oldest brewing brand.
This episode is Tucson-flavored, beer-scented, and hip-hop heavy in all the best ways.
🎬 Movie Share: 🎞 Turbo Kid – This 2015 post-apocalyptic BMX joyride is equal parts gore and nostalgia. Think Mad Max meets Stranger Things, with synths and sawblades. ▶ Watch Trailer
🎵 Song Shares: – “Three Sisters” by Jay Tillman – A dusty, southern gothic ballad dripping with atmosphere and tension. – “The Floor” by Buck 65 – Spoken-word storytelling at its finest. A haunting trip through memory and emotion.

We’re kickin’ off Episode 114 with a return guest and Strange Famous mainstay : Seez Mics is back on the DOD45 Show to break down his collab-heavy album With SFR, a posse cut project built from the SFR group chat itself. Sage Francis, Mopes, Runt, Cas One, Early Adopted, Jesse the Tree, and more brought verses, banter, and bars—and we talk through all of it.
💬 Topics in this episode include: – Who actually had the best verse on the album? – What it was like creating a “group chat” in audio form – Battle rap roots and podcast past – Storytelling, awkward tracks, and fan-submitted chaos – Mayo or Miracle Whip? (Thanks, Dibbs.) – Art, trust, and the curse of “nicest guy in indie rap” – Adrienne Googles weird stuff mid-show – Tai draws the entire time, and yes, the guest gets the original – Rapid-fire “Pick Your Poison” choices that get...weird
🎨 Tai's finished drawing for Seez is directly inspired by the album With SFR and is available as a print at www.dod45.com.

📽️ MOVIE RECOMMENDATION: 🎬 Run Lola Run (1998) ▶️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCYnsUdO6H0 A high-speed German thriller that plays with time, chance, and butterfly effects. If you missed this one back in the day, now’s the time. Fast cuts, techno pulse, and a red-haired protagonist who never stops running. Literal adrenaline cinema.

Saison 8 · Épisode 112
mercredi 21 mai 2025 • Durée 02:03:20
We’re flying through Series 8 of The DOD45 Show, and this week, Eligh steps back in the chair. 1/8 of Living Legends (possibly 1/7, depending on who you ask), 1/2 of Grouch & Eligh, and 100% locked into one of the most prolific and personal catalogs in indie hip-hop.
We talk Colorado life (he’s fully reached nature bro status), how his visual art never dipped (he’s got 2 pieces in the Little Things group show), and what’s ahead for the Legends: an upcoming L.A. pop-up, San Diego show (May 25), and a Hawaii mini-tour.
🎨 Tai draws him a Hobbit-inspired piece mid-convo—featuring a hype hobbit, crow-shaped kites, and Gandalf looming with wisdom. Eligh opens up about why that world still hits deep.
🎧 GET INTO THESE TRACKS: “Stuck With You,” “Flames in the Greenhouse,” “Burn,” “IYSGTC,” “Hot Asphalt Grime,” “Pain on the Break,” “Safe,” “Walk the Walk,” “Fire in Her Eyes”
💿 MUST-LISTEN ALBUMS: Grey Crow, The Tortoise and the Crow, Say G&E!, Therapy at 3
🔥 DISH SEGMENT • First: He never got to meet Kobe… and it might’ve crushed him • Worst: NFTs. That’s the sentence. • Thirst: Not grass. You’ll have to watch.
PLUS: • Grouch handles the planning. Eligh shows up in flow mode. • He's tweaking lyrics in real time to stay age-accurate • Most of his visual pieces? Untitled. Pure vibe. • Not hung up on which tracks got slept on
👀 SAGE FRANCIS LURK SEGMENT Sage returns to haunt Eligh with a McDonald’s story from his first DOD45 appearance. It’s weird, thoughtful, and very Sage.Brought to you by with a beat by DJ Zole.
RUNT of Jivin Scientists on Bars, Beats & Bizarre Real Talk | DOD45 Series 8 Ep. 111
Saison 8 · Épisode 111
mercredi 14 mai 2025 • Durée 02:06:45
SPOTIFY SHOW NOTES: Welcome to Series 8 of The DOD45 Show! We're kicking off our triple-digit era with the return of lyrical lifer, brewer, and Tucson pillar RUNT of Jivin Scientists. This ain't his first DOD45 rodeo, but it's possibly his most delightfully chaotic one yet.
We talk art, awkward waves, haunted Airbnbs, corn-eating styles, and what happens when you put James Hetfield's beard on James Harden’s face. But we also dig into the soul of the scene—Runt’s poetry, his grind, and the community he’s building behind the bar at Brickbox Brewery. And yes, he has a piece in our "Little Things" show.
🎙️ Episode Highlights:
Runt’s writing process: still chasing lightning or calling storms?
The wildest thing said to him after a show
Why Tucson’s music scene deserves more attention
Cringiest tattoo decision (not the tat—the choice)
What happens when your brewery regulars don’t know you rap
The strangest Pick Your Poison questions to ever involve James Earl Jones and a lobster ritual
Blackliq drops the final word… again
🎧 Episode Movie & Song Recommendations: 🎬 Sinners – A genre-bending banger set in 1932 Mississippi. Directed by Ryan Coogler, starring Michael B. Jordan as twin brothers caught between juke joints and supernatural horror. Over $280M at the box office. Soulful, strange, and powerful. Watch trailer
🎵 Texas Funeral – Listen by Jon Wayne (1985) Alt-country, cowpunk and Americana satire that gained cult status after appearing in From Dusk Till Dawn. Originally intended for Pulp Fiction. Weird in the best way.
🎵 Patriarch – Listen by Cas One ft. Bitter Stephens & Dizzy Wolfe Explores the seesaw between artistic mastery and self-doubt. A reminder that art sometimes owns us more than we own it.
Ep 49 – Underground with Thorts: A DOD45 Global Link-Up
Saison 4 · Épisode 49
lundi 12 mai 2025 • Durée 01:28:52
Remember back in Series 4 when we were finally getting our act together? Yeah, this episode dropped Feb 15, 2023—we had new Mr. Dibbs theme music, tighter pacing, actual flow... and a podcast host still drawing mutant animals in real time. We’d evolved a ton since the chaotic mess of Series 3. But now that we’re deep into Series 8, we’re re-releasing this wild, wormhole of an episode because—get this—Spotify terminated our original account like absolute maniacs. Yep, they nuked our entire podcast history.
So we’re bringing them back. All of 'em. As many past episodes as we can, as often as we can... because they deserve to be seen, heard, and weirded out over. Just like this one.
In Episode 49, Tai (@ArtByTai) and Adrienne crossed time zones, hemispheres, and possibly dimensions to beam in Aussie underground wordsmith @Thorts for a proper cross-continent convo:
🌏 2 Countries 🕒 2 Time Zones 📆 2 Days Apart 🐱 1 Cat-Morphed-Into-a-Quokka-Skyscraper Drawing
That’s right. While Tai warped Thorts’ beloved cat Frank into a surreal Quokka/Taipei 101 hybrid, the convo bounced between:
🐨 Unhinged Australia-centric hypotheticals 🎤 Thorts’ rabbit-hole journey into hip-hop 🎶 His encyclopedic list of collabs & solo projects 🇨🇦 A weird detour into Saskatoon rap scenes (don’t ask) 👀 And Sage Francis dropping in to blindside Thorts with a throwback moniker during our Sage’s Social Media Lurksegment
✨ DID YOU KNOW? Thorts has been a true international collab machine since the early 2000s—working with underground artists across the US, UK, Canada, and Europe. His album Bleeding Heart Muzik was hailed by Oz indie circles for its haunting lyricism and anti-commercial ethos. He’s a poet in skate shoes. Also: Quokkas are known as “the happiest animals on Earth”—and honestly, this chat has that exact energy.
🎙 EPISODE 48 (Re-release) - Eligh of Living Legends Manifesting Mayhem & Fatherhood Feels
Saison 4 · Épisode 48
lundi 12 mai 2025 • Durée 01:39:20
Originally dropped on Feb 8, 2023 during our all-killer, no-filler Series 4, this episode marked a turning point for The DOD45 Show. We had finally cracked the format code, the pacing hit like a perfect beat drop, and Mr. Dibbs had just laced us with our now-iconic theme music. The evolution from Series 3? Massive. Were we at our current post-Series-7 peak? Not yet. But the monster was waking up...
💥 And then... Spotify did the dumbest thing imaginable: terminated our entire podcast account. Yup. No warning, no explanation, just poof. So now, we’re re-releasing this gem (and all the others!) between new Series 8 drops because this convo with Eligh (of Living Legends royalty) deserves your ears all over again.
🎤 What Went Down (Back Then):
Eligh got deep on reimagining the grind of touring—think longevity over burnout.
Talked fatherhood in his 40s and how art fits between diaper changes and tour dates.
Opened up about the wear and tear of tattooing—physically and spiritually.
Shared how manifestation and mindful living are steering his second creative renaissance.
💡 And this was also the birth of a now-beloved segment:
🔥 Sage’s Social Media Lurk 🔥 Strange Famous ringleader Sage Francis popped in with our first-ever guest drop-in to expose the dark scroll holes of social media. It was messy. It was glorious. It was... the beginning.
🎯 Unhinged Side Roads Include: Robin Williams clouds, McDonald’s toys, Dukes of Hazzard, Raiders nostalgia, Bon Jovi riffs, Picabo Street (!?), and even Tom Cruise in Legend. You’ve been warned.
✨ DID YOU KNOW? Eligh credits sobriety and meditation as the fuel behind his post-Grey Crow solo evolution, and if you didn’t know—Living Legends practically wrote the book on independent hustle, hand-to-hand slinging albums out of backpacks across the West Coast way before it was a thing.
Ep 47 (Reissue): Sk8 Liborius w/ Bryan Bedwell & David Blum – From Church to Skatepark to Phoenix Rising
Saison 4 · Épisode 47
vendredi 9 mai 2025 • Durée 01:33:30
🛹 Originally dropped Feb. 1, 2023 (Series 4) 🧯 Re-released now because Spotify fumbled the bag and torched our podcast account like a bad landlord with a grudge.
🎙️ In this pivotal Series 4 episode of The DOD45 Show, Tai (@ArtByTai) and Adrienne sat down with the two unstoppable visionaries behind Sk8 Liborius — Bryan Bedwell and David Blum — who took a crumbling Gothic Revival church in St. Louis and turned it into a punk palace, underground skate utopia, and creative sanctuary for the misfit masses.
👂 If you missed this when it first aired, now’s your second chance to catch one of the most inspiring conversations from the season where we finally figured out the format. We had Mr. Dibbs on intro beats, we were firing on all cylinders, but still short of the weird beautiful chaos we hit post-Series 7.
🔥 Highlights from the Episode • The Church That Became a Skatepark: How an 1889 cathedral morphed into the Sk8 Liborius dreamscape. • DIY to the Core: Punk shows, rave nights, and community programs born from busted pews and board slides. • Raising the Roof (Literally): How they hoped to raise $1-4 million to lock in permits, repair the bones, and go full legit.
🕯️ Tragedy Strikes: On June 28, 2023, just months after this episode aired, a fire tore through Sk8 Liborius — gutting the church and punching every skater in the soul. The rectory’s kitchen went up first, and by the time the smoke cleared, most of the structure was gone. But the spirit? Still grinding.

🎙️ RE-RELEASED: The Lazerbeak Episode (Series 4 Throwback)
Saison 4 · Épisode 46
vendredi 9 mai 2025 • Durée 01:46:36
🚨 Originally dropped January 25th, 2023. Brought back from the grave thanks to Spotify pulling a bonehead move and killing off our entire podcast feed. (Nice one, Spotify. Real helpful.) So now we’re re-uploading every single one of our past episodes—sometimes daily—between our new Series 8 drops. You're welcome.
This heater came straight outta Series 4—that glorious run when we finally locked in the pacing, sharpened the format, and debuted that fresh Mr. Dibbs-produced theme music. We were dialed in… though, yeah, still rough around the edges. But damn if we weren’t on the verge of something big.
And who better to help us stretch our wings than Lazerbeak—the multi-tasking, genre-bending producer from Doomtree, Shredders, Dope Walker, and a dozen other soundscapes. This episode has Tai & Adrienne chopping it up with Beak about:
🔥 Lava Bangers II and the ten-year legacy of his breakout beat tape 🎤 Producing Lizzo’s debut (Lizzo Bangers—yep, he was there at ground zero) 🏀 Crafting the official anthem for the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 2023 season 😇 Growing up religious and the oh-so-familiar childhood anxiety 😂 The first time he swore (his bike caught the heat) 🎶 His bizarrely dope playlist tastes—from Carly Rae Jepsen to El-P to Luther Vandross
💥 Bonus Round: Mr. Dibbs tosses in a wild card question about where “Lazerbeak” got his name. The answer? Let’s just say… it involves ancient robots.
✨ DID YOU KNOW? Before music became the day job, Beak was grinding nonprofit office hours by day and cooking beats by night. Man was moonlighting with mission until the leap paid off.
If you’ve been ridin’ with DOD45, or you’re just now hopping on—this one’s a must-watch.

Sk8 Liborius was one of the few U.S. skateparks housed in a 19th-century cathedral listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Before the fire, their crew hosted free events for underserved kids, hip-hop shows, even weddings (with a halfpipe backdrop).
The Sk8 Liborius community is still meeting regularly, rallying funds, and planning its resurrection. These folks don’t quit.
🎯 So Here’s What You Can Do: LISTEN. SHARE. SUBSCRIBE. REVIEW. TELL YOUR FRIEND WHO USED TO SKATE OR STILL DOES OR WISHES THEY DID. The underground doesn’t survive without the aboveground making noise for it.
