Episode 234: Dominique Gordon: Rockin’ Playlists, Nineties Fades & Finding Your People

The amazingly talented, down-to-earth Dominique Gordon joins us this week—our second-ever guest in show history! Dom does it all: author , poet ✍️, songwriter , performer ... and now, aspiring high school counselor and budding stand-up comic .
We talked music influences (My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and more ), why being Black and loving rock music still raises eyebrows in some circles , and what it means to find your creative voice—even if it sounds more Bob Dylan than MJ .
Also in the mix:
First-ever music purchases (prepare to cringe )

Hi-top fades and 90s hairdos

Why being the boss kinda sucks sometimes

Tony’s flashbacks to teaching during COVID

Mike’s existential Taxi Driver rewatch

Dom’s leap into education (at the same age Tony made his!) ✨

The mystery of who actually gets polled in polls ‍♂️

Fossil fuels… yikes ⛽

And yes—flying cars, obviously

This one’s packed with laughs, insights, and that sweet Saturday morning vibe ☕. Let’s gooo!
Cheers!
