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.

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/okltHost: Larry LanzaProducer: John Testa Artwork: Lindsay Brett

We had the pleasure of talking with a Detroit-based designer and the founder and scarecrow behind Stunt365, Marco De Leo.If you haven’t heard of Stunt365 yet, don’t worry because you will soon. We’ve been seeing more and more skaters rocking Stunt gear in videos, so it’s only a matter of time until you spot it or one of your homies ends up buying a piece themselves.Marco is a bit of a one-man band, coming up with the designs, making his own screens, printing by hand, and shipping everything himself. Aside from T-shirts, hoodies, and hats, Marco has also designed and printed on motorcycle helmets, skateboards, and snowboard park features.Despite losing power in his workspace during our call, Marco stuck around in the dark and talked to us about running a small business, collabs that don’t go hard, and where he hopes to take the brand in the near future.
