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

Show notes
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
Show notes
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
Show notes
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
Show notes
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.

Show notes
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
Show notes
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
Show notes
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.
