Tim was there when I filmed my first clip that made it into a skateboard video, he was also there when I caught my first sturgeon. We spent so much time laughing, filming, skating and enjoying life together. He disappeared from my life for about 15 years, and recently he returned. He had a few clips in the recent Tired video and he's been texting me on the regs almost every morning keeping the fire lit. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a special one for me. Please listen as Tim McKenney fires up another episode of Talkin' Schmit.

Rob Collinson aka Magnethead is a long time friend who I can honestly say works harder then most people I know. When he takes something on, he is 100% committed. Since I met him, he's become a husband, a father, a fireman and the owner of a successful skateboard zine in Lowcard. I consider Rob a good friend and was delighted to get to spend some time catching up. Enjoy...

I met Becker in 2002ish, he introduced me to how East Coasters handle situations. A very straight to the point no beatin' around the bush type guy who at that time couldn't get to the grocery store and handle his own dinner to save his live. He lived at the Trife HQ and was instant bro status with Drehobl, the Ginch and I. We've travelled many miles, drank many beer and had enough laughs to fill up a hot air balloon. For this episode I pieced a couple things together; due to technical difficulty I had to interview him twice(still learning the best recording options). Although Becker is episode 3, he will always be my first Podcast interview. Thank you Evan. —Schmitty

I met Tony Farmer through Pete the Ox skating pools and going to punk shows in the 90's. Tony was in town over the holidays and I had the chance to sit down with him and catch up, reminisce, and talk Schmit.
