I titled this episode “Jay Rogers the Mastodon” because not only is he a larger than life pillar of the community with teddybear like qualities, but physically he's also a big man whom could probably snap you in half if you really, truly angered him. And Papa Bear knows how to fight too so be careful….nah but for real the last thing you ever have to worry about with Jay is being hurt by him. I’m just trying to paint a...

Every so often a person comes along where you kinda just have to invent a word to create a proper title, as was the case with my most recent guest a Mr. Derek Willner. Born and raised in Delaware by day, native Philadelphian and city whisperer by night, it wasn't until a couple years back when he and his family finally decided to join us and take up residence here in our lovely Ladera. Coming from San Francisco too...need I say mor...

I definitely flipped the script for Ep 8 and beyond being my first threesome (myself + 2 guests in studio), community advocates Jay Rogers & Greg Sink literally taught me more about our community in 90 minutes than I’ve learned in the last 5 years. No joke! Did you know the HOA is not LARCS…nor LARMAC? Do any of those things ring a bell for you? If you’ve absolutely no idea what I’m saying then don’t worry, there is s...

Well, the old adage is definitely false when it comes to Tim Dean-as he is most certainly a trustworthy man. From friend, to coach, husband and father…don’t believe anybody if they ever tell you "not to trust a man with 2 first names" as that is certifiable bs, and you'll know exactly why after listening to this episode. In reality, Tim may just be the most trustable guy ever when it comes to having two first names an...

I titled this episode "Scotty da Boddy Earhart" because that is exactly who Mr. Earhart is, a man of the people’s body whom initiates change and reforms our neighborhood common areas for the better. His passion and dedication to our community are infectious, and it's hard not to be swept up in his enthusiasm to combat our HOA. All bs aside, if there’s one thing I know about this man it’s that he thrives on bringing pe...

I titled this episode The Magnificent Chef Kiel because that is exactly who Mr. Kiel Anderson is, an extremely rad homosapien sapien. A consummate friend, OC native and “Chopped” television show Champion (something we ironically did not get a chance to cover on the podcast) it was an absolute pleasure to host this man in the casita and chat about life for a couple hours. Being the most underground chef in the region, ...

**Apologies for my slight delay in releasing this episode or for the break in episodes recently, I was on vacation for spring break with the fam. But, I'm back, more refreshed than ever and ready to rock, so watch out now...Steiny back out the zoo y'all!!

I titled this episode eFoster the team builder because not only is this something Eric [Foster] has apparently done very well professionally in life, b...

Jon Burckle is an extraordinary human being whom literally saves lives for a living. And how do I know this you ask, simple, because when you call him and he cannot answer you receive a text message which reads “On a call saving a life right now, call you back”…genius! Not only is Jon a family man but he also has a great sense of humor, sharp wit and boyish good looks (ok his wife told me to add that last part) which ...

With the last name Cyphers, I should've known that you're bound to spit game on the microphone one way or another. However, instead of dropping lyrical wax as it may appear at first glance, my man Darryl rocked into the studio (aka Carl's Casita) and dropped straight KNOWLEDGE! This is most definitely a conversation for the ages, with so much candor and insight you may honestly have to listen twice in order to take it...

After my wife denied me as a broadcasting partner and I had ample time to get over it, I started asking around and telling select people about my podcast/idea. Well, one of those individuals just happened to be a Mr. Tim Schmidt, who beyond being a Ladera Ranch resident and California transplant himself, is also just a really solid dude all around. So, naturally, I felt he would be a good fit for the show as not only ...
