Episode 96 – Connor Patrick of Creepy Customs

This week, I'm joined by Connor Patrick of Creepy Customs, creator of screen-accurate horror costumes and prop replicas inspired by Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and more.

We talk about how Creepy Customs got started, the work that goes into creating his pieces, and our shared love of horror collectibles and movies.

This is a visual-heavy episode, with Connor showcasing some of his latest creations and giving a tour of his incredible Michael Myers mask and prop collection in the YouTube version.

Episode 95 features legendary SoCal artist Tom Laura, aka "Big Toe." Recorded at the Stowaway Tiki Bar in Costa Mesa, California, this episode dives into the worlds of surf, tiki, and punk rock art. Over some cold drinks, Big Toe, George, and Bear talk about his signature paintings, sculptures, and world-famous tiki mugs found in bars across the country. We also get into his early days in surf culture, traveling for art shows, and upcoming exhibits — including Tiki Punk 2 on June 6, 2026 at the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas.

Recorded last summer at The Bamboo Club in Long Beach, we sat down over tiki drinks just hours before Ryan hit the stage at Alex's Bar. We talk Ryan's origins, his love of garage music, and even the real-world cost of a shrunken head (yep… he knows a guy). We were also joined by Jessica, Ryan's girlfriend, manager, and nurse, who jumped into the conversation and added her own perspective throughout the episode. Follow Rockin' Ryan and The Hexxers, and keep an eye out for his upcoming Ep.

In Episode 93, we sit down in person with Djordje Stijepovic, aka BullFiddleCat. Djordje is the upright bass player for Tiger Army, Molotov, Drake Bell, and countless others, along with his own solo project. Frank Quaranted, George, and I had an incredible conversation with Djordje about growing up in Serbia in the 1980s, starting a rockabilly band in fifth grade, and his journey to the United States, where he went on to play with the who's who of the rockabilly world. We also talk music, classic films, and even sample some Serbian liquor he brought along. Great vibes, great stories — both on and off the mic.

Episode 92 – Vlad Urban (Os Catalepticos) Thanks for pressing play! This week I sit down one-on-one with returning guest Vlad Urban, vocalist and guitarist of the legendary Brazilian psychobilly band Os Catalepticos. Recorded this past summer, we dive into the origins of Os Catalepticos, early projects like Os Cervejas, later work with Sick Sick Sinners, and Vlad's experience growing up in Brazil and finding his way into music and subculture. We had some tech issues, so there's still more of his story to tell — he'll definitely be back! Check out Vlad on social media, and revisit his past appearances on the show (Episode 22 and Episode 83).

Welcome to episode 91. Join us as we sit down with Alicia Romero, a.k.a. Mad Marge, and her husband, Matt Romero, the amazing vocalist and guitarist of the psychobilly band Mad Marge.

We took a road trip out to the desert to hang out at their home studio for an in-person conversation with this rocking couple. We talked about the early days of the psychobilly scene, how Alicia and Matt got started in music, and what led to their long break from performing. Plus, we dive into their exciting comeback! With so many mutual friends and awesome memories from past shows, the conversation flew by way too fast! -Beer with Bear Podcast Links:https://linktr.ee/beerwithbearpodcast?utm_source=linktree_profile_share -Mad Marge Band Links: https://madmargeofficial.bandcamp.com/ -Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/madmarge_official?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
