Episode 234: Dominique Gordon: Rockin’ Playlists, Nineties Fades & Finding Your People

The amazingly talented, down-to-earth Dominique Gordon joins us this week—our second-ever guest in show history! 🙌 Dom does it all: author 📚, poet ✍️, songwriter 🎶, performer 🎤... and now, aspiring high school counselor 🎓 and budding stand-up comic 🎭.

We talked music influences (My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and more 🤘), why being Black and loving rock music still raises eyebrows in some circles 👀, and what it means to find your creative voice—even if it sounds more Bob Dylan than MJ 😅.

Also in the mix:

• First-ever music purchases 💿 (prepare to cringe 😬)

• Hi-top fades and 90s hairdos 💈👑

• Why being the boss kinda sucks sometimes 👔📉

• Tony’s flashbacks to teaching during COVID 🧼🦠

• Mike’s existential Taxi Driver rewatch 🚕💭

• Dom’s leap into education (at the same age Tony made his!) 🧠✨

• The mystery of who actually gets polled in polls 🤷‍♂️📊

• Fossil fuels… yikes ⛽😬

• And yes—flying cars, obviously 🚗💨🛸

This one’s packed with laughs, insights, and that sweet Saturday morning vibe ☕🎧. Let’s gooo!

Cheers!
