chris forgives the world for not forcing him to the mic one second sooner than circumstances would allow and says he is sorry

Not That Chris Martin ep4

There is nothing in this podcast about the 2014 elections. A perfect hideout from the blanket coverage. Dan big times, Andy has a practice date for the future, Chris crunks, and Joe knows too much about prostitutes in Marina Del Rey

Not That Chris Martin ep5

FYA Lets Talk to Jake Najor E1

Joe partnered with Mikey Beats on Oysterfest and it did really well and sold out, it's gone to their head, and this victory lap might boil over. Reader Andy could give two f....

FYA Mikey Beats EP3 Ofest Splashdown

Jenna and Craig from The Verigolds put up with a lot.  Dan is a walking kaleidoscope, as usual.

MBTV - Verigolds - Podcast Preview for 1-2-16 show at Music Box

A podcast on video with a guy who hasnt slept, a band whose patience is wearing thin, and a light show...

What could go wrong?

MBTV - Verigolds - Vodcast

Joe hires Mikey Beats as cohost because of Freddies studio, Freddie may not know about that. Mikey may also not know about that. All three agree that Pacific Beach has achieved ultimate revenge VS North Park: "Hate us, become us".

FYA/ Let's Talk 6 Jaywalking With Mr Beats

Mikey's on the clock for the birth of his second child but makes several bad decisions anyway. Freddie thinks we're ignoring him.

FYA / Let's Talk 7 Dimples

We go over the ballot, and get warmed up by speculating that the russians were responsible for the demise of both malaysian airliners. Brent Beltran keeps us in check with the facts.

FYA/ Lets Talk 8 Voter Guide And Russia Is A Gas Station

Mikey brings in another profoundly good guest and Joe ruins it. The FYA cast can't let go of an absurd conspiracy theory about the Chargers imploding on purpose because they want to move to LA and be movie stars like Todd Gurley and Jay Mohr, except thats a commercial not a movie. Big difference to guys like Joe Enge, a lifelong San Diego Charger fan, and our guest.

FYA / Let's Talk 9 WTF Just Happened?

We talk Chris Martin into coming back to podcasting after a 2 year hiatus and he instantly regrets it, or at least the podcast he chose to come back to. Mikey bought a house, Joe is treading water, Freddie is infected by Westworld

FYA 10 Lets Talk to Not That Chris Martin

Mikey and Joe bring Jorge Padilla (a Raider fan) on the show and sparks fly in a stupid, harmless way. We should've been nicer, no?

FYA/Let's Talk: What Even Is Happening Right Now?

Rosey Bystrak (Casbah, SDDialedin) joins Mikey and Joe for a starting point conversation about how public transit did not plan the future as well as we mightve hoped. Sometimes, Freddie forgets that we're there at all.

FYA Let's Talk 12 Transit History with Rosey Bystrak

Andy Boyd shows up to our podcast in a suit that defies description with the best poker face ever seen on earth. We try and look beyond it with varied results. Dan admits he and Te'o are eskimo brothers in a new unforeseen way.

FYA / Lets Talk 13 Dan Brozo and Andy Boyd Slum...

Freddie is back in the fold, but probably wishes he wasn't, Mikey and Joe groove to the rumbling sound of a collapsing planet. (editors note we did this a day before comey got fired)

SOMA Live on Union and Metro E:1

Fanboy is a full length feature film produced on the streets of San Diego by longtime Casbah employee and published Author Ben Johnson.  Getting it made and seen is one thing, but add a pandemic and another level of hijinx ensues.  Joe Rinaldi from Music Box and SDIVA (San Diego Independant Venues Association) sat down with Ben after taking in the movie at a sold out drive in premier and talked through this singular phenomenon.

In the time of covid, audio isnt always ideal, we will publish a transcript of this audio and attach it to our social media.
