   Episode 18: Anthony Pappalardo

   Welcome back to “Okay, Last Try” - for our latest episode, we hit up our good friend, author, musician, and journalist Anthony Poppalardo. Anthony has a good gauge on the media landscape through his experience of writing for dozens of music, skate, and culture mags and blogs over his career. We also delved into the state of skate media, hardcore zines, and print media, as well as a now-outdated SOTY conversation. Hope you enjoy!

   Episode 17: Mike Lent

   Welcome back! For this week’s episode, we talked to one of Long Island’s finest exports, Mike Lent (https://www.instagram.com/shmike_lent/). Throughout the 2000s and 2010s Mike was crucial to the construction and upkeep of a couple of Long Island DIY spots - the infamous Pizza Palace and a personal favorite, the Brentwood DIY. Mike was pro for Northern Co and his footage can be seen in bunch of iconic New York videos - Grapevine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwmsrqPk8t4&list=RDMwmsrqPk8t4&start_radio=1), Hot Plate (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZpY90WyuuA&list=RDUZpY90WyuuA&start_radio=1), and Cutting Room Floor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zvq0_uAe7RY), to name a few. In this episode, we grill Mike on what goes into making a DIY and DIY etiquette, the Long Island skate scene while he was coming up, and fatherhood. Hope you enjoy!

   "Okay, Last Try" Ep 16 - The Return of Mike Regan

   Welcome back to "Okay, Last Try" - instead of our regularly programmed interview-style episode, we decided to just plug the mics in and kick it with our buddy and fan favorite, Mike Regan. We shot the shit about stickers, the Antonio glazing and hating, and getting old. We also played a quiz game that was far too easy for Mike. Hope you enjoy!

   "Okay, Last Try" Ep. 14 - Marco De Leo of Stunt365

   Welcome back to “Okay, Last Try” - this week, we have our first-ever returning guest on the pod, Marco De Leo. Marco is the brains and the brawn behind the Michigan-based clothing brand Stunt (https://www.instagram.com/stunt365/). Since we last spoke in 2022, Marco, and Stunt, have come a long way. New designs to screen print, new technology to help with the printing, and new opportunities to work with other brands and skate shops. We get into all of that, and some more, in this week’s episode. Enjoy, and be sure to check out www.stunt365.com (http://www.stunt365.com) for the latest in the Stunt collections.

   "Okay, Last Try" Ep 13 - Mike Regan

   Welcome back to another episode of “Okay, Last Try.” This was probably the most fun episode we’ve done of the show, mainly because our guest just so happens to be one of our best friends, Mike Regan. Mike’s introduction to working in skating was working in the warehouse of Chapman Skateboards. If you have Bronze gear, he packed that. If you’ve had a Zoo York, Alltimers, Theories, or Chapman, chances are, he printed it. And if you ever got a board gripped at the shop, he probably gripped it for you. After that, Mike began working for USPS, and has plenty of insane stories from the mail game that we had to ask about. We also played a quick game with Mike to test out his skate video knowledge. Hope you enjoy! Follow Mike on IG (https://www.instagram.com/mik3regan/?hl=en).

    "Okay, Last Try" Ep. 9 - Marco De Leo

    We had the pleasure of talking with a Detroit-based designer and the founder and scarecrow behind Stunt365, Marco De Leo. If you haven’t heard of Stunt365 yet, don’t worry because you will soon. We’ve been seeing more and more skaters rocking Stunt gear in videos, so it’s only a matter of time until you spot it or one of your homies ends up buying a piece themselves. Marco is a bit of a one-man band, coming up with the designs, making his own screens, printing by hand, and shipping everything himself. Aside from T-shirts, hoodies, and hats, Marco has also designed and printed on motorcycle helmets, skateboards, and snowboard park features. Despite losing power in his workspace during our call, Marco stuck around in the dark and talked to us about running a small business, collabs that don’t go hard, and where he hopes to take the brand in the near future.

    "Okay, Last Try" Ep. 8 - Adelaide Norris

    Adelaide may be new to most of you, but she’s filmed and edited her own videos and had parts in videos like Shari White’s Credits (https://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2020/05/22/diving-vans-credits-videos-paved-way/), Maximum Flow (https://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2020/10/22/watch-shari-whites-new-video-maximum-flow/), and Vans’ latest collaborative full length Nice To See You (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4CcloyO2mE&t=204s). She is also Pass~Port’s newest team rider, so hopefully, you can expect to see her in their next video project, too. In this episode, we got to hear about Adelaide’s quarantine projects, meeting her biggest skate heroes, and her camping experiences in Australia’s outback.

    "Okay, Last Try" EP. 7 - Gifted Hater

    Welcome back to another episode of “Okay, Last Try.” For the latest episode, we had the chance to meet the man who has his finger on the pulse of online skate gossip, Gifted Hater. (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC82d7bBOUmsE_b8crhEgSIw) By now, you’ve probably come across a few of Gifted Hater’s videos on Youtube. If not, you can usually find him reviewing and poking fun at the Berrics, reviewing recent videos, or running through the most recent gossip in his segment “Hateline ABD.” In this episode, we talked to Gifted Hater about all things Cariuma, ongoing Youtube beef, and how much gatekeeping is the perfect amount of gatekeeping. You can find every episode on Youtube, Spotify, Soundcloud, or Apple Podcasts. Give it a listen and a review if you have any thoughts. Let us know if we should cancel ourselves or not. – Larry

    “Okay, Last Try” Ep. 6 - Eunice Chang

    Elise and I sat down, in person, with LA-based skater Eunice Chang (@notcheetos) while she was on an east coast trip. Having Eunice in-person, live in the studio was a treat, and because of this, the episode turned out to be less of an interview and way more of a free-flowing conversation. We talked about which skaters are the hottest, who Eunice and Elise can beat up, and the morals of being a skater and a model.

    “Okay, Last Try” Ep. 5 - Breana Geering

    Elise and I kick it with Vancouver-based skater Breana Geering while she comes to the end of her 14-day mandatory quarantine. We talk to Breana about killing time, what goes into designing a shoe, drag queens, and if switch mongo is valid or not. Stick around after the interview to hear Elis and I riff about some recent skate videos, my new haircut, and Pride.

    Elise and I sat down with Rashad Murray and Nnamdi Ihekwoba. This was the second time we recorded this episode, but unfortunately, I blew it when it came to the quality recording.

If you're not familiar with Quinn yet, you could find his skating in The Homies Network videos or Noah Clothing's latest video "Jolie Rouge." He also skates for Baltimore based company, Carpet Co. Not only is Quinn a promising skater, but he is also a photography student at The New School. His work, mainly focused on his friends and the tangential skate culture, has been shown in local art shows and in multiple zines. You could see more of Quinn’s work at cameraclub.com or @qquib on Instagram.
