Shop Talk with Steve Ferreira

THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL THIS WEEK.  COLD BREW (STEVE/GOOD) VS RED EYE (ED/EVIL).  WHO WILL WIN?  WHICH CO-HOST WILL TRY TO TAKE THE OTHER ONE OUT OF PEAK PERFORMANCE BY CHANGING THE SCHEDULED RECORDING TIME?  TRUMP GOT THE RONA.  GUILIANI IS EVEN WORSE OF A POS THAN HE IS.  ED IS NOW AN EXTERMINATOR & MORE.  WE'RE BUGGING ON THIS ONE.  NO ONE WILL EVER PAY TO ADVERTISE.

This week the show takes a deep dive into American politics and culture.  Lots of surprises.  Twists and turns around every corner.  Also, looks like the guys might have a name for the new show at some point?  Probably not?  

Back at it again with more of the same.  Less is more but not really if you got it like that.  More is definitely more this week as the guys try to lock in a final name for their new show, regional cuisine is dissected and Steve yells at Ed to divulge if he is an enjoyer of veal and other cruel foods.  However Ed steals the show on this episode when he drops his bombshell admission that he is contemplating becoming a hunter.  Thats right, Mr. Film and Music wants to get back to his rustic roots and become a Big Buck Hunter... How will this guy get a full deer body into his VW Jetta?  How will he stalk his prey when he's loud by nature?  Does he look good in orange?  Also, Ed is against hunting with guns so there's that.... TBH Steve still doesn't think he would really do it but WTF does that guy know anyway?

Wow guess what it's your lucky day pal, Shop Talk is back!  Well Shop Talk as it once existed is out, and a new day is on the horizon of podcasting.  Doing long interviews with difference guests every week is pretty freaking tough to pull off with no help.  I know you all think that the Anchor ad I read should be paying me enough to quit my day job but sadly that's not the case.  So what's a guy like me with endless ideas and very little time to do?  Bring back my main man Ed "Sousa" to help me take this show to its full potential.  Yes, that's right I now have a co-host and producer and boy is he something else.  This guy chops and slops the show to perfection.  I hope you enjoy it.  

Episode Sweet 16.  But this isn't March Madness, this is motherf#$&Iin Shop Talk with Steve Ferreira.  And this week I'm back up here with my OG friend Mike Bodge.  In an internet where mad people  call themselves creative directors, Mike actually is one.    Why do I say that?  BC people have hired him for jobs that have that title, whereas you started a fake company on Instagram and called yourself it.  But that's ok, we all pretend sometimes.  Fake it til you make it.  Don't hate the player hate the game.  Have you noticed my show descriptions are getting crazier every week?  

Mike is the man on the web.  Ask Nike, Facebook, Snapchat and a zillion other companies who were smart enough to do the right thing and pay the man to keep them in the game.  We talk in depth about the monster that Is Tik Tok, and everyones favorite website Only Fans.  We also talk a lot about politics but I'm sure it won't offend anyone as you would have to be out of your mind to be conservative and be a listener of this podcast.  

Guess what else?  Right before we recorded this episode I got a call from my bank.  Someone hacked my debit card.  They hit a Pizza Hut in New Jersey and bought a month on a dating site called Zoosk.  Sounds like you needed the money more than I do.  Somehow I forgot to bring this up on the show.

I took last week off but I'm back, bigger and deffer like LL Cool J.  The King of Tattooing aka Lord Greylock aka Chris Marchetto is this week's guest.  Chris has tattooed me extensively.  It's always worth the ride out to Northampton - the tattoos are sick but catching up with Chris is even better.  We talk about a lot of stuff from what it's like to apprentice in an old school style tattoo shop to UFC's new Fight Island, and of course everyone's favorite virus Covid-19.  Super sick of all the Corona talk but that's 2020 for ya.  Also, it wouldn't be Shop Talk if we didn't talk a little bit about what it takes to make it in the working world.  If you keep losing jobs you should probably listen to this episode.  

If you're going to get tatted get it done by the best by @chrismarchetto in his studio @greylocktattoo in Northampton, MA.  While we're at it, visit www.greylocktattoo.com to make your appointment and pick up some merchandise.

Thank you for your continued support.

We got a real banger this week as I am joined by my man from way back, Jake Fraczek, better known at J The S or Jake The Snake.  Jake and I go back 20 years to our beginnings in Boston.  We've kept in touch here and there over the years and it was great catch up for an extended conversation.  We cover A LOT of ground.  The episode zigs and zags, twists and turns and... well it's dope.  

Jake is the author of Quicksand (available on Amazon) and the host of the Damaged Goods postcast and co-host of radio show Reigning Real on Dash Radio.  

Make sure to cop Quicksand and follow Jake @jthes @damagedgoodspodcast @reigningreal and of course follow your boy, yours truly @este617.  While you're at it follow the shop!  @barbersden
