Episode #220 Built to Last

The summer heat has arrived on Florida’s Space Coast, and Thad and Scott are feeling it. From parched gardens to failing ACs, the guys kick things off talking weather, rainwater collection, and a fan motor/capacitor crisis that leads Scott to a clutch save by ACE Hardware on US1 in Titusville.

Then it’s a deep dive into how convenience is reshaping the world around us — from the stuff we buy to the way we work. Are we losing our grip on quality and pride? Or is there a new kind of craftsmanship emerging in unexpected places?

After the break, powered by Lo Presher’s track “War,” the conversation gets global. With blackouts, border shifts, and rising tensions, the world feels unstable — but the call for leadership, resilience, and real connection has never been clearer.

Smart, grounded, and full of those “yeah, I feel that” moments.

Episode #219 Hydrated & Activated

Thad and Scott are back for Episode #219, recorded Tuesday, May 13th! They kick things off talking snakes—water snakes, cottonmouths, and more creepy-crawly stories from Florida’s wild side.

After a good rain, the garden is thriving, and the guys chat about how the tomatoes and veggies are loving the weather. They also give a big shout-out to Che and his latest episode of The Social Contrast, where he and Thad dive into music and meaning with tracks from Florida’s own Lo Presher.

The conversation turns heartfelt as Scott reflects on the journey—from hurricane-damaged Vibe Farmer Studios to where the community is now—and celebrates creators like Che and Frank Robb from EEARSS for their big-picture contributions. Scott gives a shoutout to Jaco from Divinci Tattoo in Titusville, FL on Garden St. Scott had his 5th sleeve session and all is going beautifully. Jaco is killing it on this piece!

After the break, Scott shares insights on the health supplements he’s experimenting with—Methylene Blue, Shilajit, and L-Theanine—and the cognitive boosts he’s feeling.

To close it out, it’s NBA Playoffs time! Scott breaks down the 2025 playoff scene and reacts to the Dallas Mavericks snagging the #1 draft pick, with Copper Flagg expected to be the top choice.

The Social Contrast Podcast: Reflections on Lo Presher: Episode 5 #music #rock #environmentalism

http://www.youtube.com/@modernsophist

In our fifth episode of “The Social Contrast”, Thaddeus T and I we will be discussing and analyzing three songs from Florida band, Lo Presher. From these songs we will interpret their message as to how it pertains to the band’s art and how it reveals relevant existential, political and societal issues that connect to the backdrop of the surf culture, transcendentalism and self-awareness. In doing so, we resolve to answer the following questions: “How should we view the relationship between existence to the construct of the world as we know?” “Where do we draw the line when it comes to our trust in political powers?” “To what extent is our responsibility in environmentalism?” A VibeFarmer Production Recorded at 6Mile Studios https://www.vibefarmer.com

Episode #217 Adjusting Mics & Mindsets

Thad and Scott are back in the mix with a fresh episode packed with gratitude, real talk, and a few unexpected twists.

We kick things off with a huge shoutout to Indian Sizzler on US1 in Titusville, right by the old Searstown Mall. If you know, you know—the food is 🔥, and the service is next-level. Big thanks to the amazing staff who make every visit something special. 🙌🍛

We check in on the ongoing Florida drought (it’s getting crispy out there) and pull some updates from the Florida Drought Monitor. Then the convo takes a stroll down memory lane as Thad and Scott swap stories about the pranks we used to pull on family and friends back in the day—proving that mischief is truly an art form. 🎭

From there, we get into political tactics, unity, and why taking the high road still matters. Thad also lines up a surprise call with longtime friend and certified Vibe Farmer Ryan, and we dive into more crow encounters and some reflections from Misty’s call last episode.

We also talk about health, long-term wellness, and Robert Kennedy Jr.’s recent moves to ban petroleum-based food dyes. Plus, we show some love for Orlando shopping icons like Oviedo Marketplace Mall, The Mall at Millenia, and the Premium Outlets. 🛍️

Episode #216 The Crow, The Fish, & The Dire Wolf

In this episode, Thad and Scott are joined via phone by longtime friend Misty for a deep dive into the curious world of dreams. Thad’s been having some wild ones—think crows, fish offerings, and heavy symbolism. Is it all pointing to rebirth? Misty helps unravel the meanings, and Scott chimes in with some wild (and maybe not-so-wild) predictions of his own.

Later, we shift gears into some real-life sci-fi with a conversation about gene editing and the resurrection of the Dire Wolf—yes, you read that right. Are we creating new species or just marketing them that way? What could it all mean for humanity?

And of course, Florida’s in a drought, and Thad might be resorting to rain dances… or is he? Tune in for laughs, insight, and a whole lot of Adjust the Mic vibes.

Special thanks to Misty for joining us!

Episode #215 Soil 2 Surf Spring Vibes

Recorded during a wild Florida storm—complete with hail, heavy rain, and a couple power outages—Episode 215 of Adjust the Mic features Thad & Scott holding it down while the weather added some extra drama to the mix. The thunder rumbled, & the vibes stayed strong!

Thad kicks things off by recapping an awesome weekend event where the EEARSS crew showed up in full support of the Super Bowl of Trivia hosted by the Women’s Center. Shoutout to Frank for crushing it as the MC, and to everyone who showed up—including Brevard’s new mayor and Stan Retz—for making it a huge success. Community showing up for community—just how we like it.

Out at the homestead, Thad’s been busy planting dragon fruit, prepping planters with Kyle and Sara, and putting in that early-season grind before Florida’s summer heat kicks in. Fence-mending has also been part of the mission—especially to guide the local gators away from the studio and back toward their swampy zones.

On the music front, Thad’s mixing new tracks from K8MM, T, and Rudy (who’s also been hitting the DJ decks lately). Plus, more episodes have been recorded with Che, digging into three legendary LPs. Friend and Business parnet Ryan is on new-dad duty!—his son is doing great! & he is prepping his own land for this years grow season.

Big travel news: Jonas and Misty just got back from El Salvador and had a blast! Just in time, too, as the World Surf League’s Punta Roca stop is warming up. Yago Dora just took the win in Portugal, and all eyes are now on Italo Ferreira’s electric backhand at this iconic cobblestone point break. Erin Brooks and Florida’s own World Champ, Caroline Marks, are holding it down on the women’s side. Meanwhile, Carlos Muñoz snagged the win in Barbados—hair flying, stoke high.

As Florida transitions out of winter, we’re looking for those clutch spring rains to get us through until rainy season hits in June. Controlled burns are happening now that the ground’s wet again, and local wildlife is active here on the Space Coast of Florida!

Also, shoutout to EEARSS’ newest intern, Bree (welcome aboard!) and Rudy for volunteering this past weekend. Community energy is alive and well.

Oh, and in classic Thad fashion—he’s been working on the body, feeling strong, and… taking Ivermectin to help with some butt worms! Scott talks about Methylene Blue and some other suppliments in the tool kit.

Yewwwww! Hit play and enjoy the ride.

Thad & Scott bring the fun in this episode of Adjust the Mic! Thad kicks things off with some weather talk as we enjoy the warming temps. We take a trip down memory lane, reflecting on our long history of friendship and family ties. Scott highlights two legendary local T-shirt companies—Dirt Shirts and T-Bone Designs—both with deep roots in our community.

Scott throws us a curveball with a conversation about… beef tallow? And of course, we couldn’t resist sprinkling in a few classic pranks on Johnny and Pops. We wrap things up with a big question for Thad: If you could digitally clone yourself, would you?
