  • Bobby Bostic. 241 Years to Freedom

    *Note: the audio can get pretty rough in this episode. Really sorry about that.*

    Bobby Bostic was just 16 years old in 1995 when he committed two robberies where thankfully no serious injuries occurred. Still, Bobby Bostic was sentenced to 241 years in prison by Judge Eveyln Baker with no opportunity for parole until Bobby turns 112 years old."If I knew then what I know now... I wouldn't have given him 241 years. But I didn't know then what I know now. When I sentenced Bobby, we had no knowledge of brain development... He was still a child. His brain had another 10 or more years to go before it was fully developed. I treated a 16 year old child like a 36 year old man and I say that is wrong." - Judge Evelyn Baker almost 25 years after sentencing Bobby Bostic.

    Miraculously, Bobby continued to work and hope until the world heard his story. Today he is free after 27 years of incarceration to tell his story to the audience of West Coast Radio. A story of resilience, hard work, discipline, and above all hope.
    Bobby is the author of many books which you can find on Amazon. Titles include, "Life Goes on Inside Prison", "Dear Mama: The Life and Struggles of a Single Mother" & "Time: Endless Moments in Prison".

  • Nuclear Threats Sell Commercials
    West Coast Radio ep. 110 is hosted by Warren and Matthew. Thanks for being here! Here is a brief overview of the show.
    We begin with Monologue jokes. 2/5 are decent.
    The Ukrainian war. Why is the invasion of Ukraine getting 24/7 news coverage but concurrent US drone attacks get almost no attention at all? When nuclear warfare is threatened, cable news sales people are the real winners. What do military simulations predict will happen if we intervene should China invade Taiwan? Anthony Weiner can give a hell of a speech.
    Compassion for depressed loved ones is really hard when they stop showering. Poo Pourri is the greatest product of all time and allows America the option to never smell feces again.
    Dolly Parton's song was about workin' "9-5"... When did it become 8-5? Dear God.
    Coward of the County by Kenny Loggins is a sick song that can never be casually enjoyed.
    Matthew has a crush on Miley Cyrus. Korean Fried Chicken is unbelievable. American social credit should never happen... But if it did here are some people that should be docked.
    Thieves are getting brazen. They also offer incredible deals on brand new items via OfferUp.

  • Ram Ranch and The Price of Pho.
    Warren and Matthew gather to speak on the World's condition as of late. The 9-5 is unavoidable wage slavery but still a blessing in comparison to a majority of the world's situation. According to Pink Floyd we are all either Sheep, Dogs, or (very few of us) Pigs. Sober dreams are a real mofo when you haven't had them in a long time, Matthew is terrorized by nightmares of dogs and coyotes in precarious situations. A young newcaster woman also taught him to be judgmental of women who show panty lines under yoga pants. If Matthew was in charge of China, he would sabotage US excellence in the winter olympics. Why does the White House care about Joe Rogan? They never went after Howard Stern this hard. My 600 pound life has some really curious moments worth noting. The price of Pho and Popeyes are absurd and Sausage Pancake corndogs have fallen victim to the supply chain. Ram Ranch is the song of choice for Canadian Trucker counter protesters.
    We also discuss the suicide of Chelsie Kryst, Miss USA and extraordinary woman. Can you have it all (seemingly) and still suffer?
    Is the dude still expected to pay half? The show wraps up with the best documentary Matthew has seen in a long, long time. Broke (2009) free on YouTube.

  • Daily Dose: Michelle Li and the Oculus Rift 2
    Welcome to another experimental series of episodes. This is a daily dose of West Coast Radio! A new, quick program, every weekday. The first Daily Dose will feature thoughts on the racist voicemail sent to former Seattle (Now St. Louis) news anchor, Michelle Li which sparked her new "#VeryAsian" campaign to amplify Asian American Pacific Islander voices. Can something initially awful actually be a blessing in disguise? Closing the show, we discuss the magnificence of virtual reality gaming via the Oculus Rift 2. If VR gaming is THIS much fun today, how irresistible will it become tomorrow?
