📌 This is a past episode of The DOD45 Show.
In this electric conversation, Tai sits down with actor, musician, and unpredictable pop-culture lightning rod Taryn Manning. From her viral "Gold Juice" saga to sharing deep thoughts about rhinos and poop (yes… poop), this is the kind of episode that swerves when you expect it to cruise.
🎤 Inside the Episode:
Her breakout roles in 8 Mile, Crossroads, and Orange Is the New Black
A candid reflection on media pile-ons after the Whitney Cummings Podcast
Stories from her time fronting the band Boomkat and launching her solo career
The bizarrely beautiful story behind her web series Sht Happens*—yes, inspired by a real Instagram post
A surprise segment with Sage Francis, who pulls up a 2012 social media post that leads to a hilarious tangent
A childhood game of MASH reveals her alternate life path
“The Dish” rapid-fire segment: first concert, first paid gig, and surviving a freakin’ plane crash
🎧 Music Recommendations:
"Predator Place" – Doseone
An experimental hip-hop banger that rattles the brain and punches holes through genre boundaries. Doseone’s distinct flow turns words into sound art.
"Cell Therapy" – Goodie Mob
A grown-man track from one of Southern rap’s most reflective crews. This song dives into introspection and self-awareness without ever sounding corny.
💡 Did You Know?Taryn once opened for De La Soul on tour with Boomkat. She also voiced a character in the video game Scarface: The World Is Yours and once claimed she identifies more with animals than people—which explains the rhino.
🎥 Movie Recommendation:
Maggie Moore(s) – Trailer
This 2023 black comedy mystery blends dark humor with small-town crime suspense. Jon Hamm and Tina Fey shine in this slow-building, character-driven whodunnit that critics called “Coen-lite, but full of charm.”
