Mike Escamilla: Rooftops, Stunts, and Stem Cells

2026-09-2501:03:29

Mike "Rooftop" Escamilla helped invent what street BMX looks like. Hoffman Bikes built frames around him. Nine X Games. Two Guinness World Records off the mega ramp. Then Hollywood: The Suicide Squad, Ant-Man, and dying in almost every episode of Lioness season two. He gets into where "Rooftop" really came from (it's neither story you've heard), a fire truck in Kuwait that rewired his brain, the stem cell treatment he credits with giving his life back, and why an industry with no gatekeepers ...

2026-09-1858:43

John A. Dailey left West Virginia at 17 to join the Marine Corps and stayed more than twenty years. Sniper, then Force Reconnaissance, then platoon sergeant with First Force Reconnaissance Company on 09/11/2001. In 2003 Donald Rumsfeld ordered the Marines to build a unit answering to US Special Operations Command. Colonel Robert J.

Eric Liedtke: Three Stripes, Yeezy, and Plants Over Plastic

2026-08-2201:00:59

Re-Release Most people build a billion-dollar business. Eric Liedtke walked away from one to build something that disappears. The former Adidas board member joins Mickey Factz, Jeffrey Sledge, and Tom Frank for 26 years of three stripes: the Calabasas lab Adidas built for Kanye, the birth of Y-3, the Brooklyn creator farm, and why he left the corner office to make fashion out of plants instead of plastic. Back by demand. Unglossy is hosted by Bun B, Jeffrey Sledge, and Tom Frank and produce...

Michael Ford: Blueprints, Beats, and Belonging

Michael Ford, the Hip Hop Architect, joins Bun B, Jeffrey Sledge, and Tom Frank to connect bars to blueprints. From the Hip Hop Architecture Camp to leading The Hip Hop Museum in the Bronx, Ford shows how rap lyrics inspire real spaces, why representation matters when only 2 percent of architects are Black, and how collabs with Shaw and Herman Miller turn design into community impact. Plus his next build: a Hip Hop Museum of the South in Memphis. This is Unglossy. Unglossy is hosted by Bun B,...
