Bad Etiquette Podcast

I'm very proud to bring you this episode this week around, a somewhat dark and strange story was brought to my attention and I had to interview this man to get the gritty details! Max is one of the nicest people I've sat down with for a podcast. It's all smiles as we dart around like a Tarantino movie explaining his toxic relationship ending (for the better) and his business as a local photographe...

A staple in the Central Coast skateboarding scene, all out rail-conqueror, and man-behind-the-lens of the recent videos "Fuck Your TV", "Secret Vol. 3" Shane Marriott invited me over for a nice talk about his tattoo collection, solo trips, local skate heroes, what camera equipment he prefers, sobriety, our late friend CJ Paz, and more. 

You might recognize her pouring drinks at our favorite local watering hole The Wicked Shamrock Irish Surf Pub when she's not sitting down to discuss her silversmithing passion (@feralsilver), being homeschooled, unapologetic self-expression, polyamory, and how to get away with murder in this wonderful episode. Be on the lookout for a future installment with her where I hopefully remember to ask ab...

There is nothing better than sitting down with your lifelong friend only to learn new things about them, see different sides of their personality, and connect through crude, vulgar, and off-color jokes. You'll hear in this episode how Kale harnessed the spirit of the podcast and why he is one of my favorite people in this bizarre clusterfuck we call reality. As always; listeners beware.

Today we sit down with Justin Tomlinson, a marketing coordinator, Head of Design, manufacturing, and CEO of CUT'N'CURE CREATIONS ( www. CutNCure.com ), parent of Remington the dog, car enthusiast, and most of all my brother as we discuss homemade animal hospice, avoiding pink eye, misgendered dogs, distrust of our local school faculty, his eclectic encyclopedic knowledge, and us inevitably growing...

You may have just seen Sean this past weekend drumming for The Donda's at Tap & Cork or DJ-ing at the EOS Lounge or maybe caught the first part of this multi hour podcast well regardless he's back as we discuss the bootleg market, Soprano's spoilers, mental gymnastics in the pandemic, collecting vinyl, a chance encounter with a murderer, Nick Cave, more Kanye, and women inventors. 

The Host of Moondog Radio, diehard Kanye fan, jazz musician, and sometimes DJ, Sean Causby (no relation) has me over and we discuss being pretentious white hipsters, South Park classics, Steven Segal shitting his pants, Adam Sandler movies, and a plethora of semi-related music trivia and hatred. 

Listener Discretion Advised in this instant classic edition as I try to harness the unedited, uncensored, chaotic storm of energy know as Nate "The Great" Eller. Viral Tik Tok star, Eagle Scout, drummer of multiple punk & metal bands, and least importantly my dear friend. Car accidents, being homeless, edibles vs. LSD, stolen vehicles, severed fingers, being robbed by drug dealers, and that's only...

Brett returns to the podcast as we sit in his bachelor pad and discuss beard genetics, self-improvement vs selfishness, Yearbooks final(?) show, his exciting new band goodgrief, 100+ Days of sobriety, our contrasting lockdown experiences, and our favorite Ron White joke. 

Recorded in O'Sullivan's Pub during rennovation ben and I sit down over a couple beers and talk about the survival of the Central Coast skate scene, The Rec, hating the YMCA, our late friend CJ Paz, Tampa Am, joining Hayley & the Crushers, legend of Nate the Great, having COVID, winning SLAP's One In a Million, and underrated skateboarders. 

JP sits down with me for the final episode in Oceanside to talk about his contagious charisma, working for Starbucks 15+ years, being a Nixon Custom Shop watchmaker, rude customers, the origins of Taekwondo, being replaced by machines, the deep roots of Star Wars in our lives, unlearning bad habits, and just plain ole hanging out with a friend fitting a watch to my wrist. 

An evening with the house to myself I react to watching UFC 1, think back fondly to 88 Footwear, discover why Pacific Islanders are obese, dodge crackheads at CVS, recall camping at the Nude Bowl outside one of the most dangerous cities in America, using my fourwheel drive for the first time, cooking my first Santa Maria-Style Tri-Tip, and being scared shitless in a tent. 

Will McCarty joins me on my balcony one evening, as I enjoy a cigar and we talk about our hatred for skateboaring, the roles we play in the industry, the 27 club, shitposting, his deep voice, what GOMAD is, eating raw meat, and our denim rituals. 

Dive deep into my psychosis this week as I struggle with injury-induced depression, watching my first stand-up show in over a year, eating elk for the first time, possibly finding my new favorite action-flick, Hercules stealing MY joke, appreciating clean comedy, teasing future guests, and my record store purchases. 

Bruno was rolling through the neighborhood and stopped by the podcast to chat about wearing the wrong size skate shoes, me blocking him on Facebook, (Is) Skateboards, tragedy bringing us closer, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, hotel room finds, shoplifting tips, MMA, and knowing when to wrap up your stories. Overall a fun lighthearted conversation I'm happy we got to talk. 

We met at a small motel in an even smaller town and drank some beer and whiskey. It went very well. We talked about the podcast we've grown, what causes a man to get a Prius, I push through vocal fry, getting fired from our jobs, having supportive partners, what Jonathan doesn't like about the show, and things I can't write here. 

Happy Two Years Everyone! In this anniversary episode I squabble with my guest dryspell, recap my Valentine's Day, agree to a tattoo I can't pay for, life lessons from a ghetto skatepark, productive complaining, and overdosing on Redvines. 

This week I embrace my inner slacker, find out what it means to be politically gender neutral, make a case for animal based diets-while respecting vegan ones?? (you'll have to tune in for that one), recap my first drunken driving-range experience, and a date to the mountains with Kyleigh.

This episode is as long as Pai Mei's eyebrows with none of his wisdom. It has Bill, booze, bros, blunts, and bullshitting amongst a crew of longtime friends. Bury yourself alive in the conversational orgy of violence taking place. 

"Revenge is a dish best served cold" or something like that. Here is the Kill Bill Vol. 1 audio commentary by me and Daniel Bax, it has everything you could want and plenty you don't. Beer, swords, blood, feet, cigars, guns, and Asian stereotypes to name a few. If you all enjoy this maybe we'll consider doing Vol. 2 until next week folks!

Happy New Year to all my listeners, I hope your 2020 wasn't any worse than it needed to be. We made it. Or whatever the fuck that means. Here are 20 things that carried me through these tumultuous months in one piece. Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's easy. Carrying on into 2021, Thank You from the bottom of my heart Bad Listeners. 

Contending with technical difficulties, I try not to cuss while discussing the Thrasher Magazine Skater of the Year Voting Fraud, women in skateboarding, getting promoted to Blue Belt in BJJ, Mandalorian stoke & spoilers, my new cigar hobby, my grandfathers' drinks and smokes of choice, and a breathy rant. 

This episode epitomizes why I originally started the podcast; to have an excuse to sit down and hang out with my friends and access a deeper side of our friendship, to harness the late night hang, and all of the topics you could possibly cover as you're all laughing through clouds of pot-smoke obscuring time and responsibility. Dane is such and interesting young man that continuously surprises me...

Recorded just a few days after the election I sit in my apartment alone and think out loud into the microphone about the election, relationship threatening bowel movements, Sean Connery passing away, and Kyleigh joins to talk about bathroom politics & job hunting. 

Part two of Daniel Bax's shenanigans is here! We make a case for the innocence of Tom Hanks, ponder last minute Halloween costumes, the beginnings of Daniel's tattooing obsession, the real story behind part 1's dad fighting story, the REC DIY, I find out what Qanon is, and Daniel discovers that I'm in a cult.
