    Episode 17: Mike Lent

    Welcome back! For this week’s episode, we talked to one of Long Island’s finest exports, Mike Lent. Throughout the 2000s and 2010s Mike was crucial to the construction and upkeep of a couple of Long Island DIY spots - the infamous Pizza Palace and a personal favorite, the Brentwood DIY. Mike was pro for Northern Co and his footage can be seen in bunch of iconic New York videos - Grapevine, Hot Plate, and Cutting Room Floor, to name a few.  In this episode, we grill Mike on what goes into making a DIY and DIY etiquette, the Long Island skate scene while he was coming up, and fatherhood.

    Episode 16: The Return of Mike Regan

    Welcome back to "Okay, Last Try" - instead of our regularly programmed interview-style episode, we decided to just plug the mics in and kick it with our buddy and fan favorite, Mike Regan. We shot the shit about stickers, the Antonio glazing and hating, and getting old. We also played a quiz game that was far too easy for Mike. Hope you enjoy!

    Episode 13: Mike Regan

    Welcome back to another episode of “Okay, Last Try.” This was probably the most fun episode we’ve done of the show, mainly because our guest just so happens to be one of our best friends, Mike Regan. Mike’s introduction to working in skating was working in the warehouse of Chapman Skateboards. If you have Bronze gear, he packed that. If you’ve had a Zoo York, Alltimers, Theories, or Chapman, chances are, he printed it. And if you ever got a board gripped at the shop, he probably gripped it for you. After that, Mike began working for USPS, and has plenty of insane stories from the mail game that we had to ask about. We also played a quick game with Mike to test out his skate video knowledge. Hope you enjoy! Follow Mike on IG.  You can listen to and follow the podcast here chirp.me/oklt Host: Larry Lanza Producer: John Testa Artwork: Lindsay Brett
