In episode #71 of the Not So Fresh Podcast we invite Eddie Styles into the podcast lair to discuss:

• Eddie's background in San Diego as he is a born & raised in this city, a rare thing in SD nowadays!

• Eddie's upbringing in the dance scene in San Diego. His first crew was Rainbow Groove..... All the way to Unique Rock, Funky Matters, Culture Shock days, Rock So Fresh, Jabbawockeez and Full Force.

• The back in the days talk of San Diego, how dancers were housers/groovers/poppers/breakers.

• We talk about a few key figures in the San Diego scene that danced and had big influences on the hip hop crowd.

• The glory days of Rock So Fresh, how Eddie got down with RSF by battling E Swift and Optic at the now defunct Martini Ranch (shoutout Cros 1 & Charlie Rock for the Bus Stop)

• Eddie's outlook on dance and how footwork and dancing was something he gravitated to it. Also how bboys in choreography crews took their styles from Eddie & Rainen in Culture Shock.

• Eddie details his latest travels around the world battling in top level competitions such as Outbreak, how the pandemic affected the international dance scene and why younger cats aren't truly inspired in the dance.

• Eddie managing other dancers and his online presence on IG to create and inspire others.

• We go off on many tangents as usual, there's a lot of RSF history, Jabbawockeez years and personal opinions throughout the podcast... the usual Not So Fresh podcast stuff such as diet/training/workouts and lifestyle. There is too much to type out for this outline so please listen in! Holler at Roxrite on IG and tell him to get his ass back on the cast!

In podcast #70 We invite Bboy Optic to the podcast along with a deep conversation with Joey Gold.

• We start off with an interview with Optic on his background and how it relates to dance.

• We have Joey Gold join in on the podcast, if you aren't aware of who Joey Gold is listen in. He was in the San Diego Bboy scene from the early 2000's to his exit from San Diego in 2008. He was a formidable figure in the breaking scene within San Diego.

• Joey is an artist, dancer, etc. We go into his time coming up in Arizona and how he came to San Diego with a mission to prove himself in the SD breaking scene.

• At the time Joey was hunting the best bboys in San Diego. Hear about his time calling out Tuff Rocking E Swift to battle & having Rainen throw fierce hadouken fireballs at him.

• Joey was a candidate for Rock So Fresh, although he didn't become a member of the crew hearing what was going through his head during those moments clears up the air for a lot of us.

• We get into how the breaking scene is now, we discuss how the music is now and the way breakers present themselves. Is it all silly to us now? Has it taken a turn for the worse?

• Growth is important, over the past decade plus a lot of us have progressed onto other things like family and kids... however we still take a part of our breaking with us into our future.

• Joey Gold had an influence on a lot of dancers and how RSF approaches dancing, then he took a French Exit from San Diego.

• Optic discusses his view on a lot of what is going on with dancers are doing now. Want to hear what he thinks about breaking in the olympics?! It's a very good discussion.

• Optic opens up about why he left Rock So Fresh. Is it still a crew?

• We realize we're all on the same page about social media for dancers.... are we in the age of tik tok breakdance?

• Plus much much more!! Tune in! Guest appearance by Beat Puppets E-Van Damme for this podcast!

• As usual we wrap up the discussion with what we've been listening to or watching since the previous podcast. Optic loves to listen to Gay Ray! Or is it Ray Gay? Anyways tune in.

Shout out to Whack Donuts! Is he a sponsor? Maybe he'll send us more donuts since we shouted him out!!! Thanks to Joey Gold & Optic for taking the time to chat and open up about a lot of things some of us didn't know about.

Peace - Destijl

In podcast #69 we discuss:

• We start off the new year of 2021 by talking shit.... literally 15 minutes of talking about taking a deuce and how it affects our bowel movements.

• We recap on our end of 2020 with what we did during the Christmas break.

• Destijl talks about getting a website set up to start his online business as an xmas gift. Peep it at thirdvisual.com. Claudia got a bidet and gear for butt cleansing. Saso got a buncha love from his wifey, a Toyota truck hitch and a yeti cup.

• What we missed the most during the lockdown. We actually miss going out and seeing homies, people watching and laughing at other faces.

• Some places have defied the CA shutdown orders around the city, we weigh in on some of the business shutdowns and how it affects both sides.

• 2021 started off like shit already, so we do chime in on the whole racist MAGA squad storming the capitol in DC. To our international listeners please understand not all people in AmeriKKKa are like the savages that pulled a terrorist coup klux klan. We understand the US is the laughing joke of the world, so please take it easy on us!

• They banned Trump from all social media. Censorship? Justified? Tyrant inciting violence, would you let him keep that up?

• So during all this craziness with the capitol being under siege, we noticed Instagram "influencers", were still posting like everything is happy go lucky. Like hey the world is crumbling around us.. but hey look we're so happy fronting like life is easy on Instagram!

• We go over what positives have come out of the pandemic. Like alcohol delivery became normal. Small businesses that were able to pivot and keep their biz adjusted for at home workers. An example is our good friend Whacko in SF that started his donut biz during this time. Sadly a lot of places closed down and we mention those local spots we miss.

• We mention those who passed away in 2020 that had an impact on us.

So I've been criticized for giving the whole podcast away in my summaries haha, i'll let you guys tune in to hear what we went into depth with during this podcast. Shout out to all our international listeners in Japan, Korea, Thailand, Ireland, Netherlands, etc.

At the end of 2020 it seemed people were passing away by the day. We want to give a big shoutout and REST IN PEACE to the one and only KUTFATHER. He is a staple in the San Diego hip hop culture and always will be, thank you for being a major factor in this city.

#RIPKUFATHER #RIPKUTPADRE

Also, #RIPMFDOOM one of the best and unique figures to grace the mic.

In episode #68 of the Not So Fresh Podcast we invite Cros One back into the studio for a second time to discuss:

• Cros recently wrote part two of his numbered blogs about side hustles. We recently talked about some of the hustles he's been into so he schools us on some of them.

• Cros just came back from Alabama for the World Games with breaking included.

• Cros goes over why his achilles tendon is fucked up. Cros has done martial arts and wrestling for most of his life and defended himself from 3 attackers in front of Red C Lounge years ago. After throwing these guys to the side like some rag dolls he felt his achilles had been ruptured.

• Cros discusses how most bboys lives are weekend driven, during the mid week is a very viable option to jump onto app based methods of the daily grind. Cros signed up for Postmates, the food delivery app. He then signed up onto Roadie, an airline luggage delivery app where he was able to make a lot of extra money pre pandemic.

• Shipt is a grocery delivery app that also has BevMo, that created a great opportunity during the peak of covid. Most people are buying a ton of alcohol during quarantine.

• Cros took up buying stocks during this time as well. Mainly diversifying his stocks and buying when everything dropped, then waited until another peak once things got better.

• Cros bought a lemon, a Hyundai Sonata electric that went under after 9 months of ownership. He was able to hustle Hyundai to pay for everything and take the car back!!! Through twitter he was able to complain and receive his money back.

• Cros also hustled CarMax for his Lexus ES300, it was priced for a car at 31,000 miles when it actually had 13,000 miles. The price difference is a landslide on a graph chart so he made out good.

• Cros has FOUR cars and posted all of them on the Turo app which is an Airbnb for automobiles. He has been able to make money by renting his Porsche (sorry baller), Lexus, and two Toyota Prius. Breakdance moneyyyyy!!!!!

• Saso had an old co worker hit him up asking for money.... just straight up... so that's a side hustle I guess!!!!!! HAHAHAHA

• Cros talks about how he bookmarks his travels by beginning and end. In between those dates he books other gigs in that same area with different promoters. Hustling DJ, judging, and other gigs.

• DJ's trying to get in on other DJ's gigs...... side hustle or just annoying? 1 Million DJ's vying to play on the same night in the same city? Probably annoying right? We discuss....... also will Cros ever do a Twitch live stream?!

• Cros got a gig at Rich's in HIllcrest. Hillcrest is the LGBTQ neighborhood in San Diego and Cros says the livest crowds are there!

• Club and bar closures in San Diego, yeah it sucks. So we reminisce about a lot of the bars/clubs we frequented or DJ'd at in the past. Remember Martini Ranch with The Bus Stop? Landlord Jims? Blue Tattoo? Club Rio?

• Cros gives his thoughts on the positives that have come from the quarantine/pandemic. People were able to take a break from their busy schedules and realize family time is important.

• Claudia the Venezuelan Vixen gives a little bit of financial advising during our program to give us an idea of her main hustle. Some of you busted ass bboys need to get a retirement plan in place so give our girl a call!

• How it is currently for Cros to not be traveling for work right now. Cros normally would be gone 2-3 weeks out of the month for bboy related events. Are his plans totally messed up?

• What happened to the physical locations for The Armory? Cros had a physical store located in Pacific Beach and in Downtown San Diego.

• We talk about how we met Junior Boogaloo and how the hell he looks so damn young when he's in his 50's. The skinniest Samoan we know! We talk about how he made Motion Sickness and how he's traveled a ton for popping instructions/judging. As usual we close out with what we've been watching or listening to since the past podcast.

Thanks for tuning in peace out!

Destijl

In podcast #67 the Not So Fresh podcast do a last of the summer podcast with a special call to Roxrite the Swiss Army Butter knife. In this podcast we discuss:

• How our good friend and past podcast guest Whacko now has his own business. He started his donut craftery in San Francisco and has been selling out with curbside pick ups! He sent us each a box of Whack Donuts to try and we are very happy with the result.

• Wildfires in CA are going wild, why are fools having gender reveals?! Do we really need to clean the forest floors of debris?!

• Saso and his conspiracy theories. Aliend and UFO's comin' atcha! Did the Jabbawockeez experience a UFO flying with them? Or was it shrooms?

• Pedophilia?! The new Netflix movie, "Cuties" is it something to avoid? Do we need to cancel out Netflix subscriptions because of one movie that pedals pedophilia to perverted populations?

• On the subject of pedophilia... are there pedophiles in the breaking scene?! We've heard stories about, "famous" bboys hitting girls up with dick pics and unnecessary language.

• Can you become a dance parent? Would you let some of that corny shit slide of taking your kid to events and making them dance. Drill sergeant style!

• Trumptards, how are they so defensive for their dude when it comes to pedophilia? Or for anything he says for that matter? We bring up some politics then realize we don't want to talk about that bullshit.

• We switch up to talking about Cobra Kai and Netflix, comparing to how it is with the OG movies in the 80's.

• We bring up our pal Rainen and how he was famous in the Vietnamese community through, "Paris By Night".

• Saso brings up famous Vietnamese singer Soytiet. Then plays some singing skills, THEN sings Soytiet's songs too!!

• We facetime Roxrite so he can show us his shirtless stack poses. Then we just call him to talk shit. He's actually in Switzerland and being quarantined for looking too sexy on Instagram. We talk about breaking related topics such as online battles.

• A man shot a doctor for making him cum.... we thought that doctor deserved a tip. JUST THE TIP!

• We ask Roxrite if he ever ran into pedophiles in the hip hop scene.

• Plus much more!! You have to listen in to get all the topics! As usual we close with what we've been watching and listening to since the last podcast! So tune in and hear Saso sing his Soytiet Quartet!

What we've been listening to:

Saso: DJ Shadow - Endtroducing, Your Mom's House Podcast, Cobra Kai.

Claudia: Kingdom (the MMA series Netflix), 90's R&B/hiphop.

Destijl: Soul/Gospel, Kingdom (MMA), The Boys Season 2, Samurai Marathon, Stranger (Korean Netflix).

Peace - Destijl

In episode 66 we go over a few topics while doing calls out to Rock So Fresh's own Godoyski and Super B Beat Boys' own Sake. We discuss:

• How Saso was being recruited by Crazy Legs and a funny story from a San Francisco jam trip.

• How members of the hip hop community are calling out non blacks and calling them "guests" in hip hop culture. Most of the heads calling out non blacks aren't really big contributors to the hip hop culture. What we've experienced within hip hop culture and from teachings of our elders that are from all types of backgrounds is that it is all inclusive. We go over our ideas on why people have brought up the whole, "guest in hip hop" statements. I mean the best b boys to ever do it are of Puerto Rican descent, some of the best in the world come from all parts of this earth.

• How people are accusing Shia LeBouf of, "brownfacing" in his latest movie. We bring it up as a tangent but later on talk about this with Sake when we call him.

• Hip Hop History class? What makes you a certified teacher to instruct students on hip hop and its history?

• Why is it when someone from the hood tries to advance themselves like say attend a university for a degree, they get clowned for it? We discuss.

• Also, when POC do certain things why is it that someone will tell you, "oh that's some white people shit". For example, joining a wine club or doing yoga, playing corn hole, listening to country mus.... wait that music's white as hell.

• Claudia the Venezuelan Vixen got sick and cancelled the podcast for last week. We thought she was busted with the Covid, however she tested negative and it was just a bad cold. We go over how she did during that time.

• Shoutout to our own NSF Podcast co-host DJ Son of Jarel of the Super B Beat Boys, he achieved his doctorate recently. We bring him up as our main source of info for the fight against Covid.

• We call Godoyski out in Arizona and discuss what he's currently working on. He's currently working with a master's degree MFA and possibly towards a pHd in the near future. His recent projects have been posted on his instagram so check those out. Current projects have Godoyski working on the "inbetween space", specifically with letters and typefaces. He breaks down how he came upon the ideas of creating a project based on this space. Very inspiring to hear Godoyski break down his views on this project and how he draws design from breaking itself.

We also talk to Godoyski about his workout routine and what he's been doing to stay in shape.

• The importance of having friends post their workouts on social media. With a pandemic and quarantine causing everyone to do their workouts at home, we feel having friends post their workouts inspires others to get up and move. Claudia and Saso have been posting the stand up paddleboard workouts, I commented with, "that's some white shit".... Just playing, I did not.

• We finally get Sake back onto the podcast via telefono. Sake believes the 5th Element of hip hop is farting. We bring up the white people shit talk for Sake to discuss. Sake breaks down the whole Shia LeBouf topic of playing a white cholo and how it actually was in Spring Valley back in the day. It was a normal thing for white homies to be down. Sake talks about the whole "being a guest in this culture", topic. He breaks down how it was in early days of graffitti where most of the writers were white or part of the punk rock scene. Is hip hop more of a style now than a culture? It seems to be taking a different direction away from being a culture. Sake brings us on some crazy tangents during his talk so listen into this one.

What we've been listening to.....

Saso:

• Aloha Got Soul, some Hawaiian soul and funk brought to Saso's attention via DJ Son of Jarel.

• Modern Love on Amazon Prime

Claudia:

• Hip Hop BBQ playlist on Pandora. Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix, Umbrella Academy.

Art:

• 90's R&B, Chali 2na & Krafty Kuts. Stranger on Netflix, Kingdom (MMA show) on Netflix.
