Uncle Scotchy's Storytelling Extravaganza

Another super fun night in the books!

Rebecca Loveless (yes, that's her real name) is a tattoo shop and comedy den owner that recounted her times working for PETA. She needed that insurance and loved animals, but didn't quite know all the rules so she could get her health insurance:)

First time storyteller, Aaron Glueckauf, is a professional drummer and up and coming amateur boxer. He takes us through his journey of training to get better while living a, ummmm, musician's lifestyle.

Finally, one of our own, Rio Chavarro, did a great job navigating through his story of being a young man in a touring punk band. The pitfalls are deep, so beware.

Next week is a stacked lineup as well. So keep listening and stay Scotchy, my friends!!!

Hey nieces and nephews!!! 

This week, your Uncle Scotchy explains why living with junkies on the beach isn't the worst thing in the world. But when it turns into a poor man's Point Break, it could get a bit sketchy

Comedian and 1st time storyteller, Raul Hernandez, told a great one about a love that was not to be; as well as a DWI that fortunately wasn't to be and how it happened!

Next up, we had a couple of tandem stories. Ivan Palma and Sam Savage are a couple of professional musicians who have known and played with each other for a loooooooong time. Their story of after hours partying and Sam taking it way too far was straight up hilarious.

Closing the show, we had comedian Theodis Samuel (aka. Mr. Goodnight) and musician, Taylor Davis. This super good friends talk about how they met, how they bonded, and the funny assed song that came from it:)

Things keep getting better and better, folks! Keep listening and definitely stay Scotchy, my friends:)

We had a full house for this one!

Uncle Scotchy led the night off with the story of how he got into booking bands and putting on events for a living. All that and how it culminated in a monster event that went sideways and how he handled it.

Next up told his story entitled, "The Beastie Boys shaved my head." It was a great one about being 9 years old at camp and basically getting his life forever changed for the better by one bad decision that he made.

It was Amarilys' first time even on stage, let alone telling a story in front of strangers, and she did great. She battled through her nerves and recounted her harrowing experience of getting hit in the face with a foul ball at a Miami Marlins baseball game!

Master Storyteller, Mitch Grosvenor, closed the night out. His story about his adventures working on the set for the video of the hip hop artist, Goldie, had everyone laughing the night away!

Next week we have all tandem storytellers and it should be great.

Enjoy this week's stories and stay Scotchy, my friends!!!

St. Paddy's Day proved to be full on interesting stories this year.

The Big T returned to the stage to tell a sexy tale not for the faint of heart. Who knew?

Comedian, Steve Lamm, sat down and told some fantastic hitchhiking stories from back in the days that that was a thing. Celebrity appearances and colorful characters abound in the well told tale.

Another comic, Nadeem Awad, was up next. Everyone loved his story of exploding tacos and getting pulled over while hammered and actually pulling into his own driveway. The back and fourth was awesome, as was the story.

Last up, we had the great Brian Powell. As you will come to realize, Brian truly loves breakfast. Find out how much breakfast influenced his life to the point it even led him to his career! That was his first story and we can't wait for the next!

Keep on listening, and stay Scotchy, my friends

Hi to all my nieces and nephews out there!

A first time story at USSE for Mitch Grosvenor was also first up this Wednesday night and he crushed it. Clearly a natural, Mitch told a great one about a Ninja and Pirate themed party the got busted up by the cops and the hijinx that ensued.

Next up, all the way from Lake Worth Florida was Daniel Ferrer. Not only had Daniel not been to a USSE before, he had never been to Bar Nancy!

He was a total natural as well. He recounted a story of going shooting with his less than sensible friends and how a near miss cause a potential catastrophe. Thank you Daniel.

It was Victoria Bates' first story with us as well. Her story of going to Nebraska to follow dick and getting a tattoo in Omaha. She's a badass bitch, and we loved it.

Last up was Roberto Anaya's 3rd USSE story. His sailing story about "executive decisions" at sea go wrong. 

Loved this week!

Stay Scotchy, my friends!

We had a tremendous lineup this week and the show was super fun!

Uncle Scotchy went up first. He talked about his love for boxing, what he sacrificed, and how it ultimately landed him in the ring with his favorite fighter on the planet.

Next up was Carlos Perez telling his second story at USSE. His flow was great as he shared his experience growing up adopted by a very Cuban family and his relationship with the Spanish language. Very Miami!

Local comic, Connie Fernandez told an epic adventure story about he travels backpacking thru South America along with all the ups and downs of finally making it to Machu Picchu.

Another local comic closed the night out w a great one. Zach Bugarin told a great tale about his love for Japan and Japanese people. Yea, that and how he almost got arrested three times there when he finally went!

Hope you enjoy! Until next week, stay Scotchy, my friends!

It was an epic week of firsts for the extravaganza this week.

We had our first tandem story get told seamlessly by Temple Dent and his girlfriend Kara Nicole Smith. They told a very Miami story (even tho they're from Seattle) about their first time in the magic city for a modeling job that went super sideways. That story happened three years ago, but now they just moved here and we're happy to have them:)

Next up, the Miami/Cuban comic Regina Castañeda was up. However, her friend, Mel, was in town from New York so she shared her slot with her. Mel's proudly Nicaraguan and told a hilarious story about now some traditional comfort foods may not be so traditional. Regina went up right after w a hilarious tale of going to Cuba w her family, getting lost, and how the Cuban people really communicate!

USSE Allstar, Rio Chavarro, was up next. His story of getting bit as a child by a venomous snake, growing up, taking magic mushrooms with women, and finally staring death down in the form of a snake once more was one of my favorite of all his tales.

Lastly, Namdev Lisman, told his very first story on stage. He recounted his roots, culture shock moving here, the struggles of growing up, and how he was given, lost, and regained his name!!! He was a natural and we loved that one.

Stay tuned to the podcast and stay Scotchy, my friends!!!

Loved this last week of stories!

A USSE regular, Lily Castillo told her very first story about being a proud daddy's girl and where she got her musical taste from.

Uncle Scotchy snuck in a mini story about having a crush of his snatched away by a pro surfer and a rock star.

Azarias Daniels had a very revealing, heartfelt, and honest tale about himself and his struggles that everyone truly appreciated.

Marcel (one of our storytelling allstars) had a great one about getting beat up, a puppy, and retribution.

Finally, comedian Danny Fallon crushed it with one about growing up and doing dumb shit with your friends:)

Keep tuning in! Subscribe and follow. It's just gonna keep getting better and better!

Stay Scotchy, my friends!

Really loved this week!!!

Gaby started it off with a powerful tale of all the many hardships she had to endure as a child, then into womanhood, and how she's finally in a good place. It was probably one of the bravest stories we've had yet and we were thankful to her for it.

Carlos Perez then lightened the mood significantly with his very Miami story of growing up in Kendall and the kind of mischief that shut a whole place down!

Musician, Alexa Lash took a unique approach to her story. She talked about her new song, "She's gonna be fine," what inspired it, and even played excerpts from the beautiful tune with an explanation of the lyrics. Great job, Alexa!

Finally, Uncle Scotchy closed the show with the story of how his parents met, his Cuban and Jewish roots, and the tragedies that led to him becoming the Bluesman that he is:)

Hope you enjoy all of these.

Looking forward to next week's stories already!

Till then, stay Scotchy my friends!!!
