Episode 26: Soggy Buns

Episode 26: Soggy Buns

Episode 26 is a classic Dial Tone detour. We kick things off fresh off a smash burger run at Overruled in downtown Jacksonville and somehow end up deep in beef tallow, bike shopping, step counts, gym plateaus, dentures, sweet treats, and the emotional pull of a Ninja Creami. From there, things go everywhere. We talk about weight loss, getting older, customer service disasters, oil change appointments, Subway meatball betrayal, religion, spirituality, people minding their business, politics, presidents just being regular people, and why New York might actually burn down if the Knicks win it all. It is loose, loud, all over the place, and exactly what Dial Tone is supposed to be.

Episode 25: Protein Packing

In this episode of Dial Tone Podcast, we hit episode 25 and somehow turn a simple pre-trip catch-up into conversations about airport runs, stressful haircut timing, packing for Dallas, travel toiletries, tattoo convention prep, and why getting tattooed sounds fun until you’re actually in the chair. We also get into the wild side of tattoo placements, Anthony’s upcoming tattoo ideas, protein coffee, the rise of “protein” everything, and a full breakdown of the movie Chef. From food trucks and fatherhood to creative burnout, criticism, social media, and finding your way back to what you love, this one turns into a surprisingly solid movie review with the usual Dial Tone chaos mixed in. There’s also talk about Spotify, YouTube Premium, old music streaming days, 50 Cent, LimeWire, podcast apps, and why some subscriptions feel worth it while others just keep getting more annoying. Episode 25 is a mix of travel prep, tattoo talk, movie thoughts, music nostalgia, and the kind of random conversations that only happen when we sit down and just let it go.

Episode 24: All The Small Things

This week on Dial Tone, we get into the strange little moments that make adulthood feel real. Hunting for a place to rent, dealing with property management companies, buying tools, getting excited over pots and pans, and realizing that house stuff is suddenly fun now. We talk about how hard it can be to find a place to live, the weird rules that come with renting, and why the whole process feels way more complicated than it should. From there, we get into moving, cleaning out old clothes, weight loss, gym burnout, blood work, sleep, and all the small changes that come with trying to get your life together. Somewhere along the way, we also talk about The Bear, Severance, Better Call Saul, classic TV shows, the Knicks, Mike Tyson, boxing, running, soccer players, ultramarathons, and fixed gear bikes. It’s a classic Dial Tone episode. Random, honest, a little chaotic, and somehow goes from rent applications to neon yellow pee by the end.

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.
