JP sits down with me for the final episode in Oceanside to talk about his contagious charisma, working for Starbucks 15+ years, being a Nixon Custom Shop watchmaker, rude customers, the origins of Taekwondo, being replaced by machines, the deep roots of Star Wars in our lives, unlearning bad habits, and just plain ole hanging out with a friend fitting a watch to my wrist. 

A chance at redemption as me and Kyleigh record on top of Figueroa Mountain for a second time, the first one didn't take and we lost a lovely episode so six months later here we are interfacing with the wild around us, watching the sunset, letting the crickets annoy us, talk about missing persons in National Parks, villify litterbugs, Wizard of Oz horror stories, which super powers we want, and the mental illness of selfies. 

An evening with the house to myself I react to watching UFC 1, think back fondly to 88 Footwear, discover why Pacific Islanders are obese, dodge crackheads at CVS, recall camping at the Nude Bowl outside one of the most dangerous cities in America, using my fourwheel drive for the first time, cooking my first Santa Maria-Style Tri-Tip, and being scared shitless in a tent. 

Will McCarty joins me on my balcony one evening, as I enjoy a cigar and we talk about our hatred for skateboaring, the roles we play in the industry, the 27 club, shitposting, his deep voice, what GOMAD is, eating raw meat, and our denim rituals. 

Dive deep into my psychosis this week as I struggle with injury-induced depression, watching my first stand-up show in over a year, eating elk for the first time, possibly finding my new favorite action-flick, Hercules stealing MY joke, appreciating clean comedy, teasing future guests, and my record store purchases. 

Bruno was rolling through the neighborhood and stopped by the podcast to chat about wearing the wrong size skate shoes, me blocking him on Facebook, (Is) Skateboards, tragedy bringing us closer, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, hotel room finds, shoplifting tips, MMA, and knowing when to wrap up your stories. Overall a fun lighthearted conversation I'm happy we got to talk. 

We met at a small motel in an even smaller town and drank some beer and whiskey. It went very well. We talked about the podcast we've grown, what causes a man to get a Prius, I push through vocal fry, getting fired from our jobs, having supportive partners, what Jonathan doesn't like about the show, and things I can't write here. 

Happy Two Years Everyone! In this anniversary episode I squabble with my guest dryspell, recap my Valentine's Day, agree to a tattoo I can't pay for, life lessons from a ghetto skatepark, productive complaining, and overdosing on Redvines. 

This week I embrace my inner slacker, find out what it means to be politically gender neutral, make a case for animal based diets-while respecting vegan ones?? (you'll have to tune in for that one), recap my first drunken driving-range experience, and a date to the mountains with Kyleigh.

This episode is as long as Pai Mei's eyebrows with none of his wisdom. It has Bill, booze, bros, blunts, and bullshitting amongst a crew of longtime friends. Bury yourself alive in the conversational orgy of violence taking place.
