Shrooms, Beer and Jäger with Kelly from Ohio Aug 17, 2020

Episode 60. After blacking out the first time drinking, Kelly stuck (mostly) to weed and psychedelics through high school, then returned to alcohol at 21 and mixed them to some success...but mostly: Taco Bell DUIs, ruined relationships, mile high club while technically still on the clock (billed as travel day), wigging out on too much acid, Miller light and Jäger bombs. Kelly is a long-time listener who reached by email with some stories to tell. Enjoy.

Art, Acid and Anarchy with Ian Swordy Jul 20, 2020

Episode 57. This week we have a very different picture of New York. Ian Swordy escaped his wasp-y, Long Island upbringing in pursuit of punk rock, partying and political anarchy in the late 90s/early aughts. And while everyone around him got their legs snapped along the way, Ian seemed to coast through it all on a plate of blueberry pancakes and a message from God. That is until the message ran out. Ian eventually found himself alone, broke and wasted, waiting for someone who was never coming back. Today Ian—an artist—is 2 years sober and works un-ironically at a craft brewery in Bushwick. He has a new book out which you purchase from his site (below) along with his sculptures. Thanks for listening.

Graffiti and Family with Charlie the Hustler Jul 13, 2020

Episode 56. Charlie Hustle has earned himself a reputation as a wild-man, savage, graffiti savant. Raised by alcoholic parents in Brooklyn and then Staten Island, CH fell in love with graffiti by the 3rd grade. It gave him a community and a brotherhood that helped him navigate finding his own identity. But as New York changed under Giuliani in the 1990s, that community quickly escalated to violence, PCP every day and over 100 arrests in and out of Rikers Island. By 20, Charlie discovered recovery in Arizona where he unrolled in acting classes at a community college. But then there was relapse, more violence, more arrests, taking on white leaders in the Mojave Desert prison system, and finally applying to halfway houses in Florida without medical insurance and bit-by-bit turning it around. Charlie has seen it all. Today he has 6 months sober and is happily settled in the Massachusetts countryside.

When the Cocaine was Good with Susannah Jul 06, 2020

Episode 55. So good that you'd get diarrhea just saying it's name. Hollywood in the 1980s. Our guest this week is Susannah, an old production friend of Keith's who went through the wringer of cocaine and alcohol addiction until she sent herself headlong into a coma and finally got the wake-up call she needed. (A ghostly visit from her deceased mother helped too.) This November she'll have 15 years sober and is ready to conquer the world in her 50s.

Honeybuns and Fifi Bags with William S. Hayes Jun 29, 2020

Episode 54. Burden of Concrete, the new book by William S. ("Scotty") Hayes is a harrowing account of his life. His tale begins with his teenage years and a brief foray into juvenile hall, then on to the county jail. By the early ‘90s, in the midst of an exploding Seattle music scene, he falls victim to the scourge of heroin addiction. The chaotic lifestyle that ensues thrusts him into a world of concrete: polluted cells and streets.
We talk with Scotty and his friend Renee about the wizardry of boosting, prison politics, Honeybuns, Fifi bags, Krokodil, ball-scraping, butt cheek-spreading, and everything in between.

Episode 52. Childhood friends/drug addicts, Gilbert Trejo and Andrew Mishko, join us to talk adolescent heart attacks and shooting cocaine on Planet Venice, CA. Plus, the craziest room Russian Danny ever set foot in, mushrooms while babysitting, and a never-ending story about meeting President Barrack Obama. And tutorials! How to (successfully) go 3 months without shitting, and how to file down a football pump for shooting dope (don't try any of this at home, ever). Also—maybe a first in podcast history— Keith takes a whiz on air. It's all here this week. And it's all bad.

Drugs are Cheaper if You're Naked with Alison Knight Jun 08, 2020

Episode 51. For Alison and her gang of morally depraved degenerates—known as the Manson Family—Isla Vista, CA in the 1990s was the party scene of all party scenes. The beachside college town was host to all kinds of mad shenanigans that ordinarily involved thousands of acid trips, car-jacking, white drugs, skateboarding, stripping naked, punk shows and Zima. Lots of Zima. Alison is 15 years sober today and joins us to share all this and more with you.

Meth Labs, Hookers and Hand Grenades with Jeff Franklin May 18, 2020

Episode 49. Get ready for some Covina bangers from longtime members of the Church of the Crystal Methodists. Lots of speed and cooking meth. Lots of escaping the police and dodging prison time. Some great America's Dumbest Criminal/botched crime stories. Some cautionary tales of selling to celebrities like Daryl Strawberry. Insane ghost stories. Aliens. Smoking PCP with Pony League coaches. Man. You name it, this episode's got it. Enjoy.

Doing Drugs with Acronyms with Awesome Haley, plus Everything was Diamonds and Glitter with Cesar May 11, 2020

Episode 48. This week we have a double header for you. First up is Awesome Haley. A long-time fan from Missouri who has stories of DMT-making, mail-order research chemicals, haunted hotels, rubber-tramping gone bad and, of course, Juggalos. Haley is great and we are so grateful for her coming on. Then we have something totally different. What can you say about Cesar? He's in the thick of it. Turned onto drugs in his thirties after therapy didn't take, he's got stories of Grindr dates gone awry and narrowly skating by on several troubled Hollywood escapades. Hope you enjoy his madness.

Red Dirt Meth and Nebraskan Exorcisms with David May 04, 2020

Episode 47. Our guest this week is a longtime listener from Nebraska. David traded time between Lincoln and Fremont chasing meth and leading a blue-collar double-life between managing a restaurant and dealing with speed freaks. He toured the South as a drummer in a Red Dirt country band and caught a felony possession charge on a residue amount. Not to mention a deeply haunted apartment, Xanax nods, making love with lightning bugs, and the exorcism of his abusive ex-girlfriend. Congrats on one year clean, David. And thanks for sharing your worst life decisions with us.

The Heroic Dose with Michael Angelos Apr 27, 2020

Episode 46. A self-proclaimed “terrible junkie” who would rather do his drugs alone in a bathroom than deal with the dirt, hustle and anxieties of life on the streets. Like a Larry David heroin addict who didn’t want to sit in traffic to cop. Michael Angelos grew up in Malibu and started getting himself in trouble very early with his first brush with sobriety at just 16 years old. He spent the 80s and 90s in and out of the Hollywood rock scene with bands like Jane’s Addiction—a scene where “you had to do heroin with just to get your foot in the door.” But the truth is, Michael’s real problems with addiction are around food. He’s the guy who would kick heroin but get caught sneaking cookies in treatment. Meanwhile Russian Danny crashes with the hippies at Occupy LA, Keith reflects on his Hollywood drug dealing days, Mike talks OCD and marijuana and Angelos walks us through his therapeutic experience hippie-flipping on a Heroic Dose of mushrooms.

Russian Danny's Ex-Fiancé, Sasha Apr 21, 2020

Episode 45. They never got married, but still spent a honeymoon squatting at playhouses, apartments and Uhauls all over town as they smoked, shot and stole their way to rock bottom. Eventually, they pawned their engagement rings for $20 worth of methadone and checked into rehab. Here they are today, to tell us all about young love and bad memories in the heart of Hollywood.

Gunfire in the Hospital and Hangovers at Preschool Apr 13, 2020

Episode 44. Two places you don’t exactly want to see bad behavior. Methed-out, Peter goes up against forty cops in a hospital. Gets shot five times and faces five years in prison. Luckily he had his colostomy bag to keep him company. Meanwhile Olivia gets promoted, praised and forgiven for her consistent black-out drinking when she first moved to LA. Really this episode is about two VERY different people who both kept standing back up after getting knocked down hard. When, sometimes, the best thing to do is stay down a while. Rest, recover and figure out what you're doing. Eventually, they did just that. And we were lucky enough to have them on pre-quarantine to share their stories. This episode was recorded a few weeks ago, when we were all still trying to make sense of what this virus was and who it would be affecting. Simpler times. Enjoy.

Tweakers You Can Spot from Space with Gary and Reno Part II Apr 06, 2020

Episode 43. This week we pick up where we left off. Working in the recovery and the healthcare industry is hard enough sober. Stress. Mental illness. Pulling things out of patients' buttholes. Etc. Try it with a drug habit. In this episode we talk healthcare and schizophrenia. Threesomes and mushrooms. Zimas and drunkenly auditioning for The Price is Right. Reno walks all over town, Keith scores big at a garage sale and all parties slowly find their way out of that life. With the ability now to spot a tweaker a mile away. Especially say, a dude in a trench coat biking through the rain with a microwave tucked under his arm. For instance.

Everything is a Dildo if You're Brave Enough with Gary Mar 30, 2020

Episode 42. The Orange County episode. One of many more to come because the OC has some serious demons to unpack. Just ask Gary (who would prefer to remain anonymous for obvious reasons.) From flashing crowds at punk rock shows to smoking meth at Knott’s Berry Farms. From the “Meth That Makes You Cum” to Darvocet cupcakes and Hessian stepdads. Plus! Gary’s own secret DIY dildo recipe. This episode has it all. In fact we couldn’t even fit it all in here. Part II with Gary is gonna drop next Monday. Oh and Reno makes a surprise return halfway through. Enjoy!

Champagne, OxyContin and Lots of Ghosts with Jack Osbourne Mar 23, 2020

Episode 41. I’m not sure if extra ghost stories is what we need right now given we’re all homebound and stir-crazy, but it’s what we’re getting. What a great guy. We had an awesome time talking to Jack about his party-crazy MTV days as a wilding 16-year-old popping Quaaludes and opiates up and down the Hollywood strip; getting into fights and clowning Justin Timberlake. And an equally great time talking about his sober life, where he found climbing, mountaineering, surfing and of course, paranormal investigating to keep him more than busy. Jack’s got some incredible ghost stories. Including his feeling that the It's All Bad house may in fact be haunted, which Mike doesn't care for. His show Portals to Hell premiered March 13th. New episodes on Fridays at 9/8c on the Travel Channel. We’ll share a link on our YouTube page. Thanks for listening.

PCP and a Late Start to the Good Life with Lucky and Lepke, Part II Mar 16, 2020

Episode 40. Southsiders Lucky and Lepke are back for more All Bad. Ghosts, SWAT Teams, PCP, arrests and GHB before finding a sober way out with the help of gratitude and some higher power. They call it a late start to the good life, never forgetting those they lost along they way. Enjoy.

Southside Bullets and Ganging with Lucky and Lepke, Part I Mar 09, 2020

Episode 39. This week we got some old Hollywood bangers from a couple Southside "cholos." Born in Santa Monica and Baldwin Village respectively, Lucky and Lepke met in the joint in 1993 and quickly bonded over their shared Italian-Jewish heritage and a love for classic cinema. But they also had addiction in common. They tell all this week from riots on the yard to smoking Maui Wowie in 1970s Los Angeles. From falling in love with dope to chasing sex on meth and finally taking bullets for their behaviour on the streets. As if that wasn't enough to stop them, Lucky and Lepke will be back with more stories of paranoia and PCP next week. Enjoy.

The Marvelous Miss Elliot Feb 24, 2020

Episode 37. Miss Elliot (AKA Anita Dick) has lived quite a life. From growing up a gay man in Arkansas, to navigating the legalities and madnesses of male prostitution in 1980s New Orleans, to finally becoming the longest running hooker on Sunset Blvd in the 1990s. He's since found himself a successful career as a celebrity hairstylist and managed to stay clean 26 years. All that and more. Plus Reno fills in on the hosting side for Keith. Enjoy.

Phish, Drugs and Brotherly Love with Chris Paulson Feb 17, 2020

Episode 36. Born and raised in Hancock Park Chris knows the insanities of Hollywood well. And as the youngest of three drug-dependent brothers he did all he could to prove his worth. They pushed each other into all sorts of bad behavior, but also had each other’s back. Whether tricking each other into smoking PCP, drunkenly beating each other into bruises at Grandma’s funeral, or hugging after a spectacular Phish show, there’s nothing truer than the bond of family. Thanks for listening.

The Heroin Obsession with Jason Jardine Feb 10, 2020

Episode 35. This week’s guest joins us from Vancouver. Jason is an avid listener of the show who reached out to us via email to share some war stories. We were lucky enough to get him in for a recording when he was in LA on travel last week. My God. Jason has some killer stories. He joins Mike, Keith and Russian Danny to talk everything from exploding bowels to hallucinating amputations, from growing up in Chilliwack, Canada to seeking lower companionship on Hastings Street in Vancouver, and from the ritual and obsession of heroin addiction to the horror of fentanyl. Thanks for listening.

White Collar Crimes with Lily and Gidget Feb 03, 2020

Episode 34. Growing up in Oakland and later Orange County, Lily had a habit of running with the wrong people. Mostly whoever was on the other side of a dope bag. And mostly skinheads. But she owes a debt of thanks to Nordstrom's return policy for floating her habit too. And Easy-Off Oven Cleaner for helping her counterfeit bills. Tune in to hear all about those white collar crimes plus gun charges, syringe-related infections, bad mushroom trips in kayaks and how she found sobriety before turning twenty-one. Thanks for listening and find us on YouTube to see what Lily's dog Gidget makes of all this.

Some From the Vault: The It's All Bad Archives Jan 28, 2020

Episode 33. This week we pull from our earliest recordings. It's All Bad has been an ongoing project for almost 3 years now. Initially, the show was very much a work in progress and we had a hell of a time getting the microphones to function in our favor. Still, we had some great guests on to share some crazy stories, like our good friend Youree who's highlights are featured here. Plus we've got a few stories from the usual suspects and banter from guests Justin Warfield and Lala Sloatman. Apologies for the recording quality and the sometimes excessive bleeping. If you can bear with that, you're in for a special treat. Thanks for listening.

Speedballs and Brothels with Jerry Stahl and Zoe Hansen Jan 13, 2020

Episode 31. Our guests this week are Jerry Stahl and Zoe Hansen. Jerry is a novelist and screenwriter known for his 1995 memoir Permanent Midnight. And Zoe is an ASMRtist and author who contributed to the 2013 collection The Heroin Chronicles, edited by Jerry. Together they've got decades of bad behavior under their belt. Everything from shooting dope and running brothels in NYC to shooting speedballs and pitching scripts to studio execs in LA. Plus, we talk prison slang and politics, furries vs plushies, ghosts and paranoia, and the intersection of life and movies. Thanks for listening.

The Mind-Erasing Power of Benzos with Sebastian and Reno Jan 06, 2020

Episode 30. This week we welcome back Reno and newcomer Sebastian to talk a lot of shit with Uncle Mike and Russian Danny. By shit I mean: shit in a Trader Joe's bag, shit on a religious statue, shit running down your leg at a party, shit on the kitchen floor, upper decker shits, shit in a shoe, etc. Plus, San Fransisco raves, eviction stories, and of course, the mind-erasing power of benzos. Thanks for listening.

Earth is a Seedpod with Aaron Rose Dec 30, 2019

Episode 29. Aaron Rose is an artist, film director, curator and author who directed the 2008 documentary Beautiful Losers. He joins us today to discuss everything from Buffo Ceremonies to Third Reich collectibles. From accidentally sleeping with an 80-year-old woman to the scary reality of hallucinogenic flashbacks. Plus, a strung-out Russian Danny is tracked and accosted by Jean-Claude Van Damme. And Keith remembers the high school football star who dosed him with PCP. Thanks for listening.

Episode 27. This is the story of Lisa, a little, Jewish girl from the Valley who ran away from home in the early 90s and found herself living with her boyfriend in NWA's trusted inner circle. It's a musical love story of sorts that involves brushes with death, gang warfare, parties, family, friendship and artistry in the heyday of West Coast hip-hop. All that and more. Thanks for listening.

An Evening with Zander Schloss Dec 09, 2019

Episode 26. You may know this week's guest as Kevin the Nerd from Repo Man. Or from playing with the Circle Jerks and Joe Strummer in the 1980s. Or you don't know him at all. Either way, he's got some amazing stories for us and thoughts on addiction and the magic and tragedy of life. That and some solo acoustic songs to tie it all together. Thanks for joining us.

Speed, Sex and Shoot-outs with Reno Dec 03, 2019

Episode 25. Our guest this week is Reno. A good friend of Keith and Danny’s who has 5 years sober, some epic tales of sex, speed, prison, humiliation, friends made and friends lost, and an unforgettable voice. Thanks for listening.

Allan MacDonell is Cancelled Nov 11, 2019

Episode 24. Allan MacDonell is an author of three books. He wrote for Slash magazine in the early days of the Los Angeles punk scene. Then we wrote for Hustler for 20 years until he roasted Larry Flynt and got fired. Now he's in need of a literary agent. Hit us up if you know anybody.

Risky Keith Oct 04, 2019

Episode 19. This week we’re taking some time to get to know our hosts a little better, with one episode centered around each of them. Today’s focus is Keith. From Jacksonville, FL to a 2-bedroom apartment with his mom in West Covina. From daily drinking in high school to politicking in prison.

Uncle Mike Oct 02, 2019

This is Mike’s story.

Russian Danny Sep 30, 2019

From the Soviet Union to a McDonald’s in West Hollywood. From graffiti in track suits to an edible marijuana company. And from shooting dope to volunteering at the Needle Exchange, this is his story. Thanks for listening.

Degenerate James Bond Sep 03, 2019

Acid At Disneyland and Meth On Horseback Aug 26, 2019

Episode 14. One more with Annie and Joey. We got meth on horseback and acid at Disneyland. Yeah. Things get pretty weird. Alright, have fun.

Fake Drugs Aug 19, 2019

Episode 13. People will smoke anything when they’re desperate for a high. Concrete, baking powder, little pieces of smashed-up plastic—whatever it takes. “If you believe it, you can achieve it.” Joey’s been there. Russian Danny too. You’ll hear their stories tonight. Then Annie teaches us how (not) to defend yourself as a Sovereign Citizen in court, and Keith tries to track down some Red Devil Lye. That, plus the relationship between meth and music, community service stories, and gang-stalking paranoia. Enjoy.

Changing the World, One Hit at a Time Aug 12, 2019

Episode 12. Why do people do meth? I don’t know but we sort of touch on it. Special guest Annie breaks down her theory on the different kinds of meth heads while Joey gets into the pure, evil thrill of sleeplessness and crime. Also sex. Lots of sex and sexual deviance. But we’ll end on a high note. Breaking up dog fights, finding family life in neighborhood Meth Moms and simply changing the world, one hit off the pookie at a time. Enjoy.

Tales Of Hustling and Hallucinogenic Cowardice Aug 05, 2019

Episode 11. Here’s one from the archives, the earliest days of It’s All Bad. We’ve got a few tales of clubbing and hallucinogenic cowardice from Alex “2Tone” and you’ll remember Anton from Episode 1 who has another story of a drug deal gone wrong. Then, Uncle Mike sprinkles cocaine on his weed and Russian Danny gets banned from PayPal after selling drugs at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Lab. Yep. That’s right. Please enjoy responsibly.

Like Mother, Like Son Pt. 2 Jul 29, 2019

Episode 10. Michael and his Mom Mary are back this week to share more stories of family insanity and living recklessly. Keith and Russian Danny share some ill-conceived schemes of their own that left them shit broke. But as Danny says, “Easy come. Easy go.” That’s life on the streets. Thanks for listening and tell your mother you love her.

Like Mother, Like Son Pt. 1 Jul 22, 2019

Episode 9. Our guests this week are Michael Marcus and his mother Mary. Mary is 81 years old and has been sober for 34 years. Before that, she lived deep in the world of prescription drugs, easy money and cocaine addiction. She was Mike’s crimey and confidant in the drug game and together they made it through all the violence, heartbreak and insanity to be here tonight and share their story. Mike is now an author and actor. His book “#1 Son And Other Stories” chronicles some of the events you’ll hear about tonight. Check it out. Thanks for listening.

How To Sweet Talk Cops Jul 15, 2019

Episode 8. Ever wondered what to say to the police when they book you? Well here’s what not to do. Actually these stories all end relatively well. But still, I wouldn’t live by their advice. Keith tries giving someone else’s name. Gabby and Dylan try sweet-talking and cracking jokes (cops love that.) And Mike tries to buy himself some time. Then later, he just finds the cocaine party where they're “cool with it.” If you’ve got other bright ideas, we’d love to hear them.
