Ep. 124: True Sounds of Lunacy

With this week’s episode we brought on our friend “Gentleman” Jack Grisham, singer and founder of the band True Sounds of Liberty(T.S.O.L.) as our guest.

Southern California was the wild west of punk rock and violence in the 80’s and Jack and his band were at the forefront of all the mayhem. Jack takes us back to the pit with some tails of terror about T.S.O.L. along with some stories from his various side projects which include breaking and entering, robberies and what happens when you dress up like a cop to see what you can do!

Hope you enjoy the episode and we’ll be back soon with another new episode of Its All Bad

Get jumped in with us this week as we talk to our good friend, Randy Q. Born into a life of addiction in East LA, the odds were stacked against him from the gate. Gang life, dope and prison were the constant themes for him and his family. After years in the streets and the system, Randy finally found recovery. He has since helped thousands of people recover through his work as a beloved substance abuse counsellor. His work continues as a pastor, life coach and respected author through his new book, From Pain To Power. Check it out, Ese!

This weeks guest hails from the industrial wonderland that is Michigan. Mike Crain moved the valley at a young age and sought refuge through skating and punk rock. Mike got his big break working at the world famous Gil Turners on the Sunset Strip. From almost being run over by Sean Penn to having his jaw broken while drunk this is surely an episode you won’t want to miss. More than just fun stories we remember some loved ones we have lost along the way.

Writer, Actor and Comedian Daniel Daly chops it up with Danny, Keith and Reno on this weeks It's All Bad!  

Daniel grew up in wine country but made the school papers, getting wasted from his first drink of cheap vodka, becoming legend before graduation. Moving to LA shortly after to become an actor, his agent sent him to an accent coach to try to get him auditions outside the "funny gay friend" rolls he was up...15 minutes later telling him there was nothing she could do.  Daniel is a gem and dishes to the gang all the stories of excess, debauchery of wasted days and broken LA dreams. 

Danny also shares some stories about growing up behind the iron curtain and him and Reno share some rehab sexcapades on this week's It's All Bad.
