Do The Wrong Thing Podcast

When I listen to a podcast, I usually want to be transported. I like my mind to wander from where I'm at (usually my office desk) to anywhere else. During Covid finding a solution to this problem became especially necessary for me. I found a brief respite when I joined the app Clubhouse. I could talk or listen in rooms about specific subjects in a low commitment way, filling a massive void that being stuck in the house alone for most of the day created. Despite the hundreds of rooms available, there was one in particular that I kept going back to, hosted by L.A., Cam Archer, and A. DeVon Johnson.

Eventually, the Clubhouse hysteria started to fizzle out, most of us deleted the app from our phones, and (since I still work remotely) I was on the hunt to fill that void again. During this time, L.A., Cam, and Antonio decided to start their podcast Do The Wrong Thing. During the show's episodes, the three friends hang out and offer listeners a hilarious break from the regular stress of life, focusing on pop culture ranging from music and movies to the week's Twitter trends.

The trio shares excellent chemistry, which makes DTWT feel less like a podcast and more like a conversation with your good friends. This chemistry is a significant factor in how they have built a loyal following in only two seasons through their web of inside jokes and shared references. Cam is usually the angry odd man out, Antonio is the calm and easygoing mediator, and L.A. is as animated as the characters he references. Still, the three are, more than anything, enthusiasts. They have curated a positive environment where listeners can enjoy and share their debates, infectious laughter, and goofy dialogue.

DTWT isn't just a podcast where the hosts drone on about the entertainment they love (although, to be fair, sometimes they yell at each other about these things); the podcast examines the significance and importance of certain films, T.V. shows, musicians, and music. L.A., Cam, and Antonio made this podcast because they are passionate about pop culture and love discussing what makes things awesome and what makes them awful. Their in-depth, often conflicting, and sometimes downright-aggressive opinions on topics are what separates this show from its competition and truly make it worth a listen and subscription.

Do The Wrong Thing is available on all podcast streaming services and Youtube.

temp.One - OhGoshLeotus

During an evening studio session in Los Angeles, I was dared to freestyle. Fully aware of my lack of skill and convinced nothing good could come of it, I still stepped up to the challenge, stumbling through a few clumsy bars. What happened next was pure magic — OhGoshLeotus effortlessly transformed my offbeat ramblings into a beat that was nothing short of extraordinary, crafting a masterpiece from chaos right before my eyes. OhGosh has built a career on defying expectations, a journey that has taken him from underground beat battles to influential pioneer. An established force within SoCal’s music scene, his production is a testament to his passion, skill, and adaptability — qualities that keeps his audience intrigued and demonstrate his ability to blend various influences, rather than conforming to what’s currently popular.

Tower Of Babylon - Sonnie Babble

Grief, in general, is classified into five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Each step helps us learn to live with the one we lost. For San Bernardino's Sonnie Babble, his project DV3 marks the start of his grief cycle, and his latest release, Tower Of Babylon, is the last step on his artistic journey to the final stage of grief, acceptance. The first track, "My Fathers Last Message," gives listeners an intimate look into Sonnie's relationship with his father and sets an uplifting tone as it ends with a harmony of "wait until I see you once again." The project officially starts with "T.O.B Intro," where he combines passionate lyricism and a foundation of dynamic beats to recount his life journey and paint an honest portrait of his evolution as a man and artist. In contrast to the darker parts of DV3, Tower Of Babylon is Sonnie living in the now, experiencing life, and appreciating every moment. Despite the pro...

DIY2 - Curtiss King

The concept of influence is ingrained in modern society. A scroll through social media will show some of the many people whose images are perfectly curated to feel natural and relatable. Yet, for the most part, the only thing many maintain is an air of inaccessibility. When I first heard of Curtiss King, I assumed he would fit under that umbrella. It took one ForTheRecord interview to realize that I was wrong and only one meeting to understand that he is not an influencer; he is so much more. Curtiss King is a modern-day Renaissance man with a distinctive ability to inspire new perspectives. He raps, produces, creates beats and social media content, and mentors. Most impressively, he does this and more while prioritizing being a loving husband and father and an invaluable resource to his peers. His latest album, DIY2, comes after a 5-year hiatus and a decade since the release of the first DIY album. I met Curtiss at KnockHouse Studios in Downtown LA, and despite it being ou...
