punk scene

On this week's new episode the Bayer siblings are over the moon to welcome actress, game show host, neuroscientist, and all-around delight, Mayim Bialik! Can Vanessa tell the difference between Mayim and her beloved nineties sitcom character Blossom? Unclear! But they all have a lot of fun regardless. They're talking BTS Blossom stories and what it was like for Mayim to grow up while starring in a hit tv show. Plus, they get into the nostalgic trend of eighties charm necklaces that allowed you to really jingle jangle down the hallway while showing off your personality with unique charms. On top of that, Mayim and Vanessa share what their favorite button covers looked like and Vanessa learns she has teens like Mayim to thank for wearing several pairs of socks at once so that her (slightly) younger generation could wear faux sock sets that looked like several socks but didn't require going up a shoe size. AND in a rousing game of CHANGE.DORK, Mayim, Jonah and Vanessa must choose between petitions for a Blossom reboot, Joey Lawrence as Batman, and vegan hotdogs at Costco. Their answers may surprise you but in a surprise to no one, Vanessa accidentally calls Mayim "Blossom". In our opinionation, this episode is a must-listen!!!

Today we are in Oceanside visiting with singer of Secret Hate, Mike Davis.  Whether it being yelled at in the water in Seal Beach, not welcomed by the LA punks at shows, or getting caught in-between the gang fights at Poly High, Mike knew what it was like to be an outsider. He funneled that negativity into his passion for surfing and being in a punk band.  Mike grew up surfing Seal Beach by way of the bus from Long Beach, and he bought his 1st board from Carl's Bait and Tackle on Seal Beach pier. He talks about how surfing has always been there for him and literally saved his life. And did Sublime really use one of his songs on their triple platinum album? Find out!!!

Tom & Niallism are shooting the breeze with Nottingham's Scene Killers this week.

On this episode of the podcast the guys talk about all things Social Distortion.  Gordo breaks out the mail pouch, Mauro and Huff admit they have an addiction to buying records and Cecil, well, he's just Cecil.....Oh yeah...they also pick 10 great songs from a band that will always have a place in their hearts.

In episode 11, we cover one of the most recognizable names in fashion and the Queen of punk herself, Vivienne Westwood. We are back after a short hiatus following ThriftCon Denver and this episode is the perfect way to jump back in. We cover from Westwood's early days of making her own clothing and attempts at selling her own handmade jewelry into her introduction and relationship with Malcolm McClaren. That duo would reign over the 70s and 80s and created an entire movement and helped to spark the punk scene in music and fashion. Eventually breaking things off, Westwood would go onto become a household name in the fashion world in her own right as well as a committed activist taking a firm stance on causes such as climate change, civil rights and freedom of speech. Also Fireflies by Owl City might be the new song for our credits and if this episode gets removed from the airwaves now you know why.
