Costa’s World Classic: Metrosexuals

Posted by Master Spinner under Costa's World Episodes

CLICK BELOW TO LISTEN: Costa’s World Episode 39: Metrosexuals

Another funny episode from the vault. I hope nobody sends me any hate mail at the suggestion that Metrosexuals are really closet homosexuals. So forgive me if anything comes across as homophobic or if we sound like we are gay bashing, cause certainly it isn’t our intent. Since I am on the subject, next Mondays episode is gonna be about Sensitivity and Political Correctness…because recently some of my most die-hard listeners have gotten all sensitive on me. “Don’t say this…don’t say that…how dare you day this.” If you have been listening to the show you know that we pull no punches and hold our tongue for no one…so it begs the question, do people get sensitive about issues when the TRUTH is being spoken? That’s next week on UrbanSpin.net, so for now, enjoy Metrosexuals you eyebrow threading manly men.

Costa’s World Classic: Poetry Pimpin

Posted by Master Spinner under Costa's World Episodes

CLICK BELOW TO LISTEN: Costa’s World Episode 19: Poetry Pimpin

This is one of my all time favorite episodes. The concept of Poetry and Pimpin never ceases to amaze me. It might be because I host so many poetry events and see it on display like twice a month, but women certainly are vulnerable to the lyrical stylings of poets. I’m serious ladies, the dimly lit coffee house or poetry spots must be like kryptonite to women, because you fall for these nice guy poetry routines ALL THE TIME. So in this episode I let my feelings be known, and the original Costa’s World crew is there to join in on all the fun. Episode 19, wow, that was in our first year…which brings me to this reminder:

On Vacation: Comment Response Show Tomorrow

Posted by Master Spinner under Annoucements

Hey Urban Spinners. So, your boy good ole Tone is out in the lush greenery of Lake Tahoe, NV. Taking in the sun, riding in canoes, and not being able to contain his energy for the 1st annual comment show. That’s right, after taking some written lashes from the listeners, I am doing something I have never done before…I’M RESPONDING. Ya’ll done messed around and got me pissed. So tonight upon arrival in Los Angeles I am heading directly to the studio and tellin Reno to turn the mic on and leave the building. Ok, so I know I am making it sound like war, but honestly, the listeners comments I have been receiving recently are VERY good and worthy of an appropriate response. So check for that Tuesday morning this week. Also, if you have been commenting, keep it up, you know we love the feedback, and if you haven’t commented yet, drop your thoughts in the comment box and I’ll try to work them into the next comment show. I am thinking about doing them once a month…what ya’ll think?

His and Hers 003: What’s “N” a word?

Posted by Master Spinner under Uncategorized

CLICK BELOW TO LISTEN: His and Hers Show: Episode 003: What’s “N” a word?

What’s ‘N’ a word?

This week Tammi Lorraine and DOVER&DOVER have a conversation with Yemi a member of the NAACP.

The three of them discuss a word that was empowered by the ignorance of racism and oppression yet embraced by a society of art and liberal creativity. What exactly is the ‘N’ word? Many argue it to be a term of endearment others to be a word representing the shackled mentality of a ‘potentially’ great people. Tune in and you decide.

As we sort through “Peace/Piece Letters” don’t forget to send in yours. If you are in need of ‘good advice’ (listen to last weeks show) let us know and we will give you some on the air. Tammi Lorraine and DOVER&DOVER will either give you a Peace of mind or a Piece of their mind.

BTW – Thank you for all of the LUV…We really appreciate it. For those in the Los Angeles area, come out on Thursday, Aug 21st to celebrate with Tammi Lorraine, DOVER&DOVER and their Urbanspin family. We want to see you there. V Lounge: 2020 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica

TONE SAYS: HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE PARTY

NEW Costa’s World: Pre-Nups Are A Must

Posted by Master Spinner under Costa's World Episodes

CLICK BELOW TO LISTEN: Costa’s World 108: Pre-nups Are A Must

I got my swagger back. After months off I finally got some hate mail…thanks Camile for attempting to call me out on the Fast Food Ghetto Show, but I hate to tell you, you weren’t the only one. So next week I am doing a special “Listener Response Show.” So if you want to call Tone out on something, put it in the comment section under the posted episode, and if I think it warrants a reply, i’ll do it during next weeks show. As for this week, Pre-Nuptial Agreements are a highly debated topic, and one that needed my wise and traveled opinion. Bay Area Marv pops in for this one. “Missed Ya Marv!!” So yeah, check out the show and leave some comments regarding the topic. Should everyone get a pre-nup… right? Are sweethearts who don’t get them blind and irresponsible suckas for love? Enjoy!!

The Diced Show 10: Living The Dream

Posted by Master Spinner under Diced Show Episodes

CLICK BELOW TO LISTEN: The Diced Show Episode 10: Living The Dream

This was a REALLY good show. Kelly and Kelli and I are always talking about “Going for it!” But admittedly we acknowledge that we are trying to have it both ways, meaning, we want the perks and security of our cushy corporate jobs and the ultimate success of our independent ventures. It’s a great show, because despite the fact that I have sacrificed tons of money, suffered sleepless nights, asked for more favors from treasured friends that I can count, and lost a ridiculous number of “life” hours in the name of “Urban Talk;” truth be told…there is so much more that I could be doing. So ask yourself this…”What do you want out of life?,” then pause and ask yourself this, “How much are you willing to sacrifice to get it?” The Diced girls deviated somewhat from your normally hilariousness, but its a great show nevertheless. By the way…both Kelly and Kelli will be at the Costa’s World 3 Year Anniversary Party, aka, The Diced Show Launch Party.

Thursday August 21st. V Lounge. 2020 Wilshire Blvd. Santa Monica, CA
