It's All Bad

Episode 55. So good that you'd get diarrhea just saying it's name. Hollywood in the 1980s. Our guest this week is Susannah, an old production friend of Keith's who went through the wringer of cocaine and alcohol addiction until she sent herself headlong into a coma and finally got the wake-up call she needed. (A ghostly visit from her deceased mother helped too.) This November she'll have 15 years sober and is ready to conquer the world in her 50s.

Episode 54. Burden of Concrete, the new book by William S. ("Scotty") Hayes is a harrowing account of his life. His tale begins with his teenage years and a brief foray into juvenile hall, then on to the county jail. By the early ‘90s, in the midst of an exploding Seattle music scene, he falls victim to the scourge of heroin addiction. The chaotic lifestyle that ensues thrusts him into a world of concrete: polluted cells and streets.

We talk with Scotty and his  friend Renee about the wizardry of boosting, prison politics, Honeybuns, Fifi bags, Krokodil, ball-scraping, butt cheek-spreading, and everything in between.

Episode 53. It's All Bad welcomes our first intercontinental guest.

We talk bikie gangs, drug dealing and hustling, serial killers, P2P's Australian origins, and that one friend who couldn't find a way out.

Episode 52. Childhood friends/drug addicts, Gilbert Trejo and Andrew Mishko, join us to talk adolescent heart attacks and shooting cocaine on Planet Venice, CA. Plus, the craziest room Russian Danny ever set foot in, mushrooms while babysitting, and a never-ending story about meeting President Barrack Obama. And tutorials! How to (successfully) go 3 months without shitting, and how to file down a football pump for shooting dope (don't try any of this at home, ever). Also—maybe a first in podcast history— Keith takes a whiz on air. It's all here this week. And it's all bad.

Episode 51. For Alison and her gang of morally depraved degenerates—known as the Manson Family—Isla Vista, CA in the 1990s was the party scene of all party scenes. The beachside college town was host to all kinds of mad shenanigans that ordinarily involved thousands of acid trips, car-jacking, white drugs, skateboarding, stripping naked, punk shows and Zima. Lots of Zima. Alison is 15 years sober today and joins us to share all this and more with you.

EPISODE 50. Thank you to everyone for great year of terrible stories. To celebrate our fiftieth episode, we've got 5 listeners calling in to share some of their own fuck ups. Plus, we're bringing back fan-favorite, Gabby (Episodes 7 & 8), to tell some Bay Area bangers. Here's to all of you who make this show possible, and to another year of bad stories. If you want to share a story in the future. Email us at [email protected] FROM THE EPISODE:

Episode 49. Get ready for some Covina bangers from longtime members of the Church of the Crystal Methodists. Lots of speed and cooking meth. Lots of escaping the police and dodging prison time. Some great America's Dumbest Criminal/botched crime stories. Some cautionary tales of selling to celebrities like Daryl Strawberry. Insane ghost stories. Aliens. Smoking PCP with Pony League coaches. Man. You name it, this episode's got it. Enjoy.

Episode 48. This week we have a double header for you. First up is Awesome Haley. A long-time fan from Missouri who has stories of DMT-making, mail-order research chemicals, haunted hotels, rubber-tramping gone bad and, of course, Juggalos. Haley is great and we are so grateful for her coming on. Then we have something totally different. What can you say about Cesar? He's in the thick of it. Turned onto drugs in his thirties after therapy didn't take, he's got stories of Grindr dates gone awry and narrowly skating by on several troubled Hollywood escapades. Hope you enjoy his madness.

Episode 47. Our guest this week is a longtime listener from Nebraska. David traded time between Lincoln and Fremont chasing meth and leading a blue-collar double-life between managing a restaurant and dealing with speed freaks. He toured the South as a drummer in a Red Dirt country band and caught a felony possession charge on a residue amount. Not to mention a deeply haunted apartment, Xanax nods, making love with lightning bugs, and the exorcism of his abusive ex-girlfriend. Congrats on one year clean, David. And thanks for sharing your worst life decisions with us.

Episode 46. A self-proclaimed “terrible junkie” who would rather do his drugs alone in a bathroom than deal with the dirt, hustle and anxieties of life on the streets. Like a Larry David heroin addict who didn’t want to sit in traffic to cop. Michael Angelos grew up in Malibu and started getting himself in trouble very early with his first brush with sobriety at just 16 years old. He spent the 80s and 90s in and out of the Hollywood rock scene with bands like Jane’s Addiction—a scene where “you had to do heroin with just to get your foot in the door.” But the truth is, Michael’s real problems with addiction are around food. He’s the guy who would kick heroin but get caught sneaking cookies in treatment. Meanwhile Russian Danny crashes with the hippies at Occupy LA, Keith reflects on his Hollywood drug dealing days, Mike talks OCD and marijuana and Angelos walks us through his therapeutic experience hippie-flipping on a Heroic Dose of mushrooms.
