Dial Tone Podcast

Dial Tone Podcast

Dial Tone is a podcast about the conversations that only happen when the call goes long. We’re Anthony and Taco. Two unlikely friends who met years ago and somehow never hung up. We’ve spent thousands of hours on the phone together. Late nights. Early mornings. Long drives. Bored days. Heavy days. Just talking through life in real time. This podcast is an extension of those calls. Every episode is a raw, honest, and often hilarious conversation about anything and everything. One minute we’re talking about pooping in a bucket. Next minute we’re unpacking masculinity, relationships, mental health, ambition, failure, and the stuff people usually only admit to their closest friend. There’s no script. No agenda. No filters. Just two friends on the line saying what most people think but don’t say out loud. Dial Tone is a long-form conversation podcast about friendship, modern masculinity, growing up, screwing up, and trying to figure things out as you go. It’s part therapy, part comedy, part late-night phone call you didn’t realize you needed. If you’ve ever lost track of time on a call that turned into real talk, laughs, and unexpected clarity, you’re already in the right place. Stay on the line.

    Episode 23: We Don't Know Sports

    Episode 23 starts exactly how you’d expect: us trying to talk sports while barely knowing enough sports to be trusted with the conversation. We get into jersey numbers, baseball games, old team names, minor league baseball, and somehow end up talking about the Great Depression, racial slurs, Amish communities, Red Dead Redemption horse crashes, and why old traditions are still hanging on. From there, the episode turns into a mix of life updates and real conversations about getting older, feeling more like an adult, moving, building a home setup, saving money, buying tires, journaling, decluttering, and trying to build a life that actually feels intentional. Ant talks about getting back into analog writing, setting up a new Traveler’s Notebook, keeping old hotel key cards and memories, and wanting to archive journals for the future. Taco gives an update on moving from the camper into the shed, buying a fridge, setting up water lines, and slowly turning the space into something that works. It’s a classic Dial Tone episode: random, funny, all over the place, but somehow still about growing up, figuring life out, and trying to enjoy the weird little moments along the way.

    Episode 21: Photo I.D

    In this episode of Dial Tone, we get into everything from sending postcards across the world to falling back in love with pen and paper, handwriting, cursive, photography, and the weird ways creativity sneaks back into your life. We talk about Postcrossing, vintage postcards, getting too attached to our phones, going down TikTok rabbit holes, and why old-school hobbies still feel special in a world where everything is instant. From there, Anthony breaks down a recent graduation photoshoot, dealing with broken gear, being surrounded by other photographers, learning how to pose people, and trying to grow as an artist without putting too much pressure on the work. The episode also gets into dreams, creative insecurity, photography goals, tattoo conventions, van life, working remotely, and the strange feeling of realizing your work has reached people you’ve never even met. It’s a longer, more creative episode about art, growth, comparison, and trying to keep chasing the things that make you feel something.

    Episode 17: Hip Hop Hooray

    This episode starts off a little chaotic. We’re recording while there’s real-life drama happening right outside the office involving our landlords and a nearby shooting, which somehow turns into the setup for one of those classic Dial Tone catch-up conversations after a long week of barely talking to each other. From there, the episode shifts into a mix of life updates and the kinds of thoughts that come out during therapy when you finally say things out loud instead of keeping them in your head. That opens the door to a conversation about creative habits like doodling during conversations, saving random notes from everyday life, and how documenting small moments over time can turn into something meaningful. Eventually, the episode turns into what it naturally becomes: a full deep dive into hip hop. We talk about the Kendrick vs. Drake battle, artists we grew up listening to, how scandals change the way people experience music, and the difference between respecting the art and separating it from the artist. Along the way we get into Biggie vs. Tupac, Eminem, Lil Wayne, DMX, Wu-Tang, Action Bronson, Griselda, and the albums that shaped how we listen to music in the first place. It’s part life update, part music conversation, and part nostalgia episode about the artists and moments that stick with you longer than you expect.
