Ep.118 features Alteronce Gumby. He is an artist and local of New York City. His artistic practice includes painting, ceramics, installation and performance. His work has been exhibited at galleries such as Hauser & Wirth, Gladston Gallery and Camden Arts Centre. His work will be shown in an upcoming solo exhibition with Nicola Vassell gallery titled, The Color of Everything, in September 2022. In his recent exhibition Cross Colours at Bode Projects in Berlin, the power of complementary colors is presented in works that reference color exercises in Joseph Albert's Interaction of Colour. Through Gumby's fluorescent and chromatic spectrum of iridescent color, the artist engages the viewer and expands the notions through which we perceive form and color, the subjectivity of identity and the materiality of earth and cosmic space.  Gumby graduated from the Yale School of Art with an MFA in Painting and Printmaking in 2016. He has won notable awards, such as the Austrian American Foundation /Seebacher Prize for Fine Arts and the Robert Reed Memorial Scholarship. Gumby has also participated in numerous international artist residencies, such as the Rauschenberg Residency (2019), London Summer Intensive (2016), Summer Academy in Salzburg, Austria (2015), 6Base (2016) and was the 2016 recipient of the Harriet Hale Woolley Scholarship at the Fondation des Étas-Unis in Paris. His work has been featured in publications such as ARTnews, Artnet, Artsy, BOMB, Brooklyn Rail, Cultured, DAZED, Freize, Surface & Vogue. Gumby has also curated exhibitions, such as his most recent and ongoing exhibition, Summer of Possibilities with Bode Projects in Berlin, To Dream Avante-Garde at Hammond Harkins Galleries and A Muffled Sound Under Water at Latchkey Gallery. Gumby published his first monograph, Color Is A Beautiful Thing, with Charles Moffett & False Flag in2021, outlining six years of his painting practice from 2014- 2020. Alteronce Gumby solo exhibition titled 'The Color of Everything' opens September 8, 2022 thru October 22nd at the Nicola Vassell Gallery in NYC.   Photo credit: Katharina Balgavy Artist https://www.alteroncegumby.com/ Nicola Vassel Gallery https://www.nicolavassell.com/ Surface Alteronce Gumby's Cosmic Meditations on Color, History, and Lightness – SURFACE(surfacemag.com) Artsy Alteronce Gumby's Otherworldly Abstractions Reenvision the Color Black | Artsy Brooklyn Rail Alteronce Gumby with Carrie Moyer – The Brooklyn Rail Dazed Alteronce Gumby's cosmic landscapes challenge the meaning of colour | Dazed(dazeddigital.com) Frieze Alteronce Gumby on His Cosmic Abstractions | Frieze Vogue The Atomic, Cosmic Art of Alteronce Gumby | Vogue Cultured Magazine Painter Alteronce Gumby Sees Color Differently (culturedmag.com) Artnet Studio Visit: Artist Alteronce Gumby on His Weekly MoMA Visits, and Why Seeing Great Art is Like a Reading a Book (artnet.com)

Unfortunately we've been told by one of our viewers that nobody wants to watch us so I think we may be shutting this down? But until then we will keep proclaiming our undying love for the LGBTQ community, the only community that never gives us a hard time. Tank also shares the revelation that he might not be wearing sweatpants because he's depressed, he might be depressed because he wears sweatpants all the time, so he decides to start playing dress up. We cheer for Pete Davidson finally telling Kanye to back off. We marvel over the fact that the WWE somehow lost the copyright battle to the World Wildlife Fund, and the fact that Tank used to somehow get away with wearing Cross Colours as a 12 year old, chubby, blonde, white kid. Tank talks Adam out of a creative slump and we wrap things up with the riveting news that Kylie is not naming her son Wolf. Wild stuff.

You don't have to be a San Francisco Giants fan to be a fan of Gabe Kapler. From taking a knee for racial injustice to his non-profit organization Pipeline for Change, he shares that his activist spirit can be traced back to his parents, who were very active in the civil rights movement. Pipeline for Change  "was created to provide resources and remove obstacles for BIPOC, women, non-binary people and members of the LGBTQ+community to participate in all aspects of collegiate and professional sports". The San Francisco Giants manager (who was named National League Manager of the Year in 2021) says that baseball (and sports in general) has been dominated by white men for far too long. In this interview, you'll hear how Gabe is focused on not just talking the talk, but walking the walk- both on and off the field. We get into everything from the importance of taking care of your mental health, to his thoughts on first moving to San Francisco, and his deep love of 90s hip-hop. We hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did!For more information on Pipeline for Change, head to their website or follow them on IG & Twitter & FB & YTYou can follow Gabe Kapler on IG & TwitterThis episode is brought to you in part by our friends at Lost Republic Distillery, visit them at LostRepub.com-Thanks for listening and for your support!

Aron Bender has a conversation with Nick Hamilton, owner of Nitecast Media, a new and proudly black-owned company covering all things sports and pop culture and more. Shoutout Big Brother Jake doing big things with Nitecast. Nick grew up in LA at a time when he says he wasn't sure he'd make it to see 21, and for a time didn't care whether he lived or died. Nick says even one day gave someone the power to make that choice for him. We discuss fatherhood and how it's been for him raising an 8-year-old son with autism during the pandemic, maintaining mental health, his take on the Angels dumping Albert Pujols and the pickup by the Dodgers, we rate the two Chronic albums, even talk about Summer Jam, and whether he thinks I could've rocked a Cross Colours jacket back in the day.

Today’s episode is with TJ Walker, one of the co-founders of the pioneering streetwear brand, Cross Colours.  Cross Colours blasted onto the urban fashion scene in the late 80’s, and their bright colors, loose silhouettes, and inspiring message, “Clothing Without Prejudice” presaged the launch of a string of urban streetwear brands like Karl Kani, FuBu, and Phat Farm.  Cross Colours came to define the 90s, worn by every musical icon of the era like Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Lil Kim, Mary J Blige, TLC, and most famously Will Smith while on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The brand has had a resurgence recently, especially after Bruno Mars and Cardi B wore Cross Colours during the 2018 Grammy Awards. In this episode we discuss TJ’s path from a farm in Mississippi to designing for one of the most profitable Black businesses of his time (2:34), how he actually got those clothes on Will Smith (16:30), why their slogan, “Clothing without Prejudice” still resonates 2 decades later (29:07), and a new initiative he’s started with costume designer Ruth Carter, who most recently won the Academy Award for her costume design for Marvel’s Black Panther(38:10).

Remember Cross Colours? The LA-based urban streetwear line was a hit in the early 90s, with bright, bold designs and uplifting messages about unity. Now the label is back, and the California African American Museum is celebrating with a retrospective that shows its impact on the mainstream fashion industry. Plus, Forever 21 may not last forever. But the demand for cheap clothing has not gone away. Fashionopolis author Dana Thomas tells DnA about the human and environmental costs of fast fashion, and how we can slow it down.

Kanye West Owes Me $300: And Other True Stories from A White Rapper Who Almost Made it Big (Crown) After Vanilla Ice, but before Eminem, there was "Hot Karl," the Jewish kid from the L.A. suburbs who became a rap battling legend and then almost became a star.  When 12-year old Karp got his first taste of rapping for crowds at his friend's bar mitzvah in 1991, little did he know that he was taking his first step on a crazy journey— one that would end with a failed million-dollar recording and publishing deal with Interscope Records when he was only 19, but along the way would also include feuding with Fred Durst, opening for Snoop Dogg, blacking out with Mark McGrath, and recording with a young Kanye. He also introduces his rap partner, Rickye, who constitutes the second half of their group XTra Large; his supportive mom, who performs with him onstage; and the soon-to-be-household-name artists he records with, including Kanye West, Redman, Fabolous, Mya, and will.i.am. Finally, he reveals why his album never saw the light of day (two words: Slim Shady), the downward spiral he suffered after, and what he found instead of rap glory. Karp’s hilarious yet surprisingly poignant memoir is the ultimate fish-out-of-water story about a guy who follows an unlikely passion—trying to crack the rap game—despite what everyone else says. It’s 30 Rock for the rap set; 8 Mile for the suburbs; and quite the journey for a white kid from the valley. Praise for Kanye West Owes Me $300 “The funniest person I follow on Twitter finally got smart and wrote about his unlikely—and hilarious—odyssey as teenage rapper Hot Karl. Karp’s sharp wit and gossipy giggles keep you turning pages, but what lingers is the story of a survivor. This book should be mandatory reading for or anyone who has ever wanted to be famous.”—Kevin Smith, New York Times bestselling author of Tough Sh*t    “If I had kids, I'd read passages from this to them at night. Rap careers definitely haven't been explored from this perspective, and I'm excited to see the ripples. Jensen’s gonna make some enemies, though. I’ve been on television.” —Hannibal Buress   “I remember hearing faint whispers about a white kid on the west coast who got like the craziest deal ever from some radio freestyles or some shit. But we never saw anything concrete, so I assumed he was hip-hop's Bigfoot and left it at that. Who knew it was real??!!! This is the story of the rap game's Sasquatch.”—Bun B, Grammy-nominated rapper    “Jensen's story is so funny and so well-written that it's impossible there's any truth to it.” —Kay Cannon, writer, Pitch Perfect and 30 Rock    “Sure, everyone is curious to know what it's like to be a white rapper, but only Jensen Karp has the wit and humility to reveal what it was like to get knocked down by the music industry, dust off his Cross Colours, and keep moving.”—Paul Scheer Jensen Karp, formerly known as Hot Karl, is an LA-based writer, comedian, and co-owner of Gallery 1988, the nation’s leading destination for pop-cultured themed artwork. He hosts the “Get Up On This” podcast on the Earwolf Network, co-hosts the web series “Baby Talk,” and has written and produced for Funny or Die, the MTV VMAs, HelloGiggles, Rolling Stone, WWE Raw, The Hundreds, and the ESPYs. As an actor, he’s appeared on VH1’s “Barely Famous” and “Candidly Nicole.” You can find him at jensenkarp.com or follow him at @Jensenclan88. Greg Behrendt is a comedian, author, musician and sometime screen printer. He’s is the co- author of the New York Times bestselling books He’s Just Not That Into You and It’s Called A Breakup Because It’s Broken. Greg is a veteran standup whose resume includes specials on HBO, Comedy Central, Netflix and a recent imaginary special performed in the underground garage at Madison Square Garden. He has appeared on Conan, The Tonight Show and some cancelled stuff as well as being cut out of the film Jerry Maguire. Greg currently spends time over parenting his two lovely daughters, touring as a standup, recording his popular podcast Just Keep Them Alive, and playing with his timely surf, punk, reggae, ska band The Reigning Monarchs.
