The Authentic Era

Sorry For Being MIA!

Hey guys, just wanted to let y’all know we’re thinking of you, and no, we’re not dead yet. Just taking a little break from the pod, as we focus on more important priorities in our lives. This takes a good amt. of effort to coordinate all 3 of us getting on at the same time, especially when our ring leader is on EST, while Joey and Bill are on PST. There’s so much going on right now in the world,…

The Authentic Era Podcast – Episode 32 – Defcons, Uprise, Engineered Garments, and more WTF from MSCHF (4.19.22)

 After a few technical difficulties, we’re back with episode 32B. Let’s try this again! We’re trying out Zoom for this episode, so if it sounds different, that’s why. We’ll get it dialed in by ep. 50 I’m sure. Baseball is back, and we couldn’t be more stoked. Bill’s bday is approaching and a gathering-turned-house party is in the works. Eddie and Moms is going to a country music festival and are…

 What’s up and thanks for joining us for Episode 31! By now, you should know that we pretty much wing it. Last week, we took a sick day, but we’re on the mend, and we have some interesting shit to talk about. Bill was the only one drinking a beer tonight, while Ed and Joey had their waters on deck. I never thought we’d get into a pleasant conversation around water, but we learned what brands we…

 Welcome to episode 29. Tonight’s show starts off with a little Young Dolph (RIP) talk, and some insight to our opening music. Bill’s preparing for his Hawaiian vacation to the Big Island for the next 7 days, which also means there won’t be an episode next week. Eddie brags about the bomb food he’s had lately, reminiscing on his days in San Diego. Shoutout to McDonald’s Taro pies, and Trader…

The Authentic Era Podcast – Episode 28 (2.15.22)

 Welcome to episode 28 folks! It’s been a busy week, full of some new Vans stuff to talk about, but first a little bit of small talk about work, and some of the crazy stuff we’ve dealt with over the years. What are we drinking? Ed is trying out Bang’s new Vooz hydration sensation drink; Joey has a Pint House “Green Battles” American IPA, and Bill has one of his Burgeon favorites, the Juice Press…

The Authentic Era Podcast – Episode 27 (2.8.22)

 After some recent storms took out Ed last week, we’re back better and stronger than ever, with some fresh new things to talk about. Schedules have been a little funky, but we’re making it work.

Vans releases for the past few…

The Authentic Era Podcast – Episode 26 (1.25.22)

 We’re back y’all. Episode 26. Some of us are getting over a little bug. Some are feeling a little bit tired. Some are trying to figure out if we should put away our winter gear yet, but all in all, we’re all in great spirits. We know you’re dying to know our drinks for the night. Bill chose an Amigo Lager by Port Brewing tonight. Joe had a Disaronno & Coke, and Ed had a Sweet Tea Bang. It was a…

The Authentic Era Podcast – Episode 25 (1.18.22)

 We are back from our Winter break! Refreshed, and ready to get back on our bullshit for 2022. Everyone had a nice time off. Joe went to the Chargers v Raiders game in Vegas. Eddie enjoyed getting a cold. Bill didn’t get too much done, and just hung out with the fam. After our quick drink intros, we got into a little bit of current events, which included volcano eruptions, tsunami warnings, and…

The Authentic Era Podcast – Episode 24 (12.21.21)

 What’s good everybody? Welcome to our last episode of 2021! We’re just getting ready for Christmas, and just stressing out a little bit. Tonight’s episode is our longest one yet, but we promise it’s our best one yet. We get right into some talk about vintage clothing, and used Carhartt workwear, for those who might want to look like they do an honest days work. We share our new drinks for the…

The Authentic Era Podcast – Episode 23 (12.14.21)

 What’s good friends?! We’re back for another episode. Our 23rd! We open up tonight with a local weather update for each of us. Joey & Bill are back to another California mask mandate.

Not much for releases this week, except for the Japan exclusive Moon…

The Authentic Era – Episode 21 (12.1.21)

 What’s up y’all? Sorry for being MIA last night, but we doubled down and did nearly a 2hr show tonight, so enjoy! After sharing what we were drinking, we got right into a lengthy talk about Virgil Abloh, and his sudden passing. He got a little bit of indifference from us over the years, but it was mostly our “old heads” negativity coming out. We can’t deny Virgil was a man of the culture, and…

The Authentic Era Podcast – Episode 20 (11.23.21)

 What’s good everyone? We hope you’re doing well, and getting ready for the holiday season. We’re thankful for many things, especially making it to 20 episodes!!! Our health. Our good spirits.
