Episode 19: Food Is Life

Episode 23: We Don't Know Sports

Episode 23 starts exactly how you’d expect: us trying to talk sports while barely knowing enough sports to be trusted with the conversation. We get into jersey numbers, baseball games, old team names, minor league baseball, and somehow end up talking about the Great Depression, racial slurs, Amish communities, Red Dead Redemption horse crashes, and why old traditions are still hanging on. From there, the episode turns into a mix of life updates and real conversations about getting older, feeling more like an adult, moving, building a home setup, saving money, buying tires, journaling, decluttering, and trying to build a life that actually feels intentional. Ant talks about getting back into analog writing, setting up a new Traveler’s Notebook, keeping old hotel key cards and memories, and wanting to archive journals for the future. Taco gives an update on moving from the camper into the shed, buying a fridge, setting up water lines, and slowly turning the space into something that works. It’s a classic Dial Tone episode: random, funny, all over the place, but somehow still about growing up, figuring life out, and trying to enjoy the weird little moments along the way.

Episode 22: Low Riders

This week, Ant and Taco start off mellow and somehow end up everywhere: gardening, denture updates, late-night Denny’s runs, weird wedding photography scams, photography ethics, future dream jobs, money stress, sprinter van fantasies, personal drivers, old cars, tint tickets, manual transmissions, lowriders, and the slow evolution of Ant’s photography wagon setup. Taco talks about getting back into the garden, eating biscuits with no teeth, and running into someone from an old Denny’s story, while Ant gets into photography, wedding disasters, creative goals, wanting to shoot more, and what life could look like if work, travel, tattoos, and photography all came together. It’s a laid-back, random, funny episode about work, creativity, money, cars, and the kind of conversations that only happen when one host is tired and the other is fully ready to go off the rails.

Episode 21: Photo I.D

In this episode of Dial Tone, we get into everything from sending postcards across the world to falling back in love with pen and paper, handwriting, cursive, photography, and the weird ways creativity sneaks back into your life. We talk about Postcrossing, vintage postcards, getting too attached to our phones, going down TikTok rabbit holes, and why old-school hobbies still feel special in a world where everything is instant. From there, Anthony breaks down a recent graduation photoshoot, dealing with broken gear, being surrounded by other photographers, learning how to pose people, and trying to grow as an artist without putting too much pressure on the work. The episode also gets into dreams, creative insecurity, photography goals, tattoo conventions, van life, working remotely, and the strange feeling of realizing your work has reached people you’ve never even met. It’s a longer, more creative episode about art, growth, comparison, and trying to keep chasing the things that make you feel something.

Episode 20: Stamped & Stolen

In Episode 20 of Dial Tone Podcast, we somehow start with our eyes closed, recording in the dark on a rainy Jacksonville day, and end up deep in stories about old cars, Facebook Marketplace rabbit holes, postcard exchanges, USPS shipping supplies, graffiti stickers, and the weird creative habits that stick with you for years. From there, the conversation turns into a chaotic trip through old Circle K memories, late-night gas station shifts, strange customers, help desk disasters, free soda, safe drops, and the kind of workplace stories that only make sense when you lived through them. We also get into the funny, questionable, and sometimes ridiculous line between “taking,” collecting, stealing, and pushing your luck. It’s a classic Dial Tone episode full of random stories, old job trauma, dumb ideas, creative side quests, and the kind of conversations that somehow go everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

Episode 19: Food Is Life

Episode 19 is basically what happens when we record back-to-back and completely lose the plot in the best way. We start off talking about Taco’s pill-swallowing problem, dentures, weight loss, soft foods, peanut butter, sugar-free brownies, and why food can feel like a full-blown addiction. From there, the episode turns into a full food spiral covering Golden Corral, Subway, Cook Out, Chick-fil-A sauce, Polynesian sauce, milkshakes that are really just ice cream, Checkers fries, Bojangles, and the fast food debates nobody asked for but we had anyway. We also get into pronunciation battles, Taco’s unique relationship with the English language, random geography lessons, the Panama Canal, the Three Gorges Dam, road trip ideas through Mexico, and somehow end up discussing math, towers, and whether either of us should be trusted to teach anything. It’s a classic Dial Tone episode full of food talk, random rabbit holes, friendship, bad explanations, and the kind of conversations that only make sense when you’ve been talking for way too long.
