The Audacity of Dope

Yes! Another episode of Phonte and Brainchild’s always entertaining podcast, Gordon Gartrell Radio (I love that they made ID’s and a logo for this…greatness). I haven’t had time to listen to it yet, but here’s Tay’s description of the episode:

Phonte reflects on Father’s Day by saluting the greatest sitcom daddies of all time*, explaining the difference between a father and a daddy, and by giving the 2008 Ed O.G. “Be A Father To Your Child” Award to a worthy recipient.

*Phonte would like everyone to know that he discovered later on that Alan Thicke did not sing the “Growing Pains” and “Diff’rent Strokes” theme songs, but he did co-write them!

See, wouldn’t you listen to the radio again if shows like Sound Session, Gordon Gartrell Radio, The Wake Up Show, Real Late With Peter Rosenberg, Street Sounds, and The Takeover were all on the air on one station? Someone over at XM/Sirius needs to make it happen…

And if you’re a young’n and confused about the name of GGR, peep game:
