Bad Etiquette Podcast

A solo journey into the ramblings of a film-noir obsessed narrator contending with the bad drivers of the Central Coast, outrageous gas prices, cruise control pros and cons, clueless victims of the pandemic, personal mantras, and misleading headlines. Anti-heroes and misanthropy ahead. 

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 photographer. A genuine soul can be heard through this conversation and you know it ain't coming from me. Domestic Violence, Rage Piss, gaslighters, and more. 

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 about her truck being stolen, chopped, and recovered. Listen, enjoy, and visit her at the bar and buy me a drink!

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.

The solo episode has returned (kind of) as I rant to Kyleigh off-mic about our 2021 recovery, dealing with healthcare bureaucrats, side-effects of new medication, my new archery hobby, World Carnivore Month, fainting at the doctor's, real food vs fast food, Yellowstone season 4, big butts, and the year ahead. 

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 closer instead of growing apart. 

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. 

Not sure if you can tell when or if it happens but Jason's violence molecule was activated and he mat murdered me after this episode was done recording. 

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. 

This week we are addressing the fears of Jiu-Jitsu tournaments, balancing coaching and competing, losing at the gym vs losing in the real world, each of our local celebrity sightings, trying combat jiu-jitsu, and American vs Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. 

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 in the first 30 minutes. Enjoy at your own expense. 

Kyleigh and I sit down in a beautiful park and recap the amazing night seeing Whitney Cummings, her dad's untimely passing in September, and the bizarre turns of events that made it possible. Enjoy the noisy outdoors in this healing episode of the Bad Etiquette Podcast. 

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. 

Today's episode Jason and I try to get know each other better than just sweating into one another's eyes, watching animal kill videos, recap the Jiu Jitsu World League III competition, encouraging the listeners (THAT'S YOU) to come and try Jiu-Jitsu, our worst tattoos, and a great book recommendation. 

Jason and Dallas sit down for a quick chat after a long time away from the show and commentate a few matches on the Fight 2 Win 180 event, philosophy at the gym, out-of-context misunderstandings, and getting choked unconscious.

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. 

A chance at redemption as me and Kyleigh record on top of Figueroa Mountain for a second time, the first one didn't take and we lost a lovely episode so six months later here we are interfacing with the wild around us, watching the sunset, letting the crickets annoy us, talk about missing persons in National Parks, villify litterbugs, Wizard of Oz horror stories, which super powers we want, and the mental illness of selfies. 

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.
