We're back in form this week to talk country music, managing egos in a creative field, and the abhorrent legacy of now former DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. The next episode of Mutate LA at Catch 1 [formerly Union Night Club] on Saturday, April 13th (http://ow.ly/FzaG30okyie) and you can get your tickets for Lost in the Sauce happening next weekend April 19th - 21st (http://ow.ly/5Umm50pU2km)

With Amaya in quarantine this week, we pulled off our first remote episode (Me in the studio, him in the Lions Den) that didn't sound like one of us was screaming into a robot's butt hole the entire time!  Speaking of robot butt holes, we gushed over Netflix's Love, Death, & Robots as well as the Rodriguez documentary "Searching for Sugar Man" (Spoiler alerts on the 2nd one).  Finally, we covered the news were all numb to including the ongoing White House security clearance scandal, Jussie Smollett's questionable exoneration, and the PR pig fuck that was the 4 page summary of the Mueller report (And how jaw-droppingly wrong most of the media has been covering this story) Don't miss out on the Lost in the Sauce Pre-Party this Saturday at The Epic Lounge in Downey (http://ow.ly/mA8T30okyhD)  and the next episode of Mutate LA at Catch 1 [formerly Union Night Club] on Saturday, April 13th (http://ow.ly/FzaG30okyie)

In today's half episode, Amaya reviews this past weekend's Mutate LA and Art in the Park while I make fun of him for losing his phone. Plus, an encounter with a political opposite sparks a debate about balancing radical love with righteous fury! Tickets for Lost in the Sauce are on sale now (http://ow.ly/cfK750nGESn) and you can visit the GoFundMe for Psychedelic Lion's Den's project here: (http://ow.ly/vjVd50nGESp)

After some time off we jumped in the studio this week to catch up on what we've been up to over the break and talk about all of the somehow still stunning things going on in the world this week that everyone is understandably exhausted by. From the real predators in Neverland, Mar a Lago, & Chicago (Plus 1 fake one, looking at you Jussie Smollett) to the horrifying implications of David Wallace Wells' new book on how we've drastically understated how bad and how quick climate change will hit (spoiler: in our lifetime and brutally), we covered all the feel-good stuff! As a palette cleanser, we also got each other caught up on our favorite Movies/TV of the week including Thunder Road, Black Monday, Fleabag, SMILF, Man like Mobeen, and I'm Sorry! There's no excuse for being bored this weekend when you've got Mutate LA on Saturday (https://www.facebook.com/events/2360196784199703/) & Art in the Park: Green Sauce on Sunday (https://www.facebook.com/events/528425777681060/)

We're back from hiatus with a bang!  We brought the oh so caffeinated Blair McGloiry aka Zimbu into the studio this week for one of the most Let it Bleed episodes of Let it Bleed we've ever done!  He gave us a crash course in Kendama, explained how deciding to do yes led to his success, and we came to the conclusion that Alex Jones is, in fact, a wook.  You can check out his music on SoundCloud and Spotify at ZimbuMusic or follow him on Instagram (@ZimbuMusic) and Facebook (@BeeZimbu), but whatever you do don't miss him at Reflections this Saturday March 9th in Fullerton!  Check out the event on Facebook for tickets in this link I don't feel like shortening: https://www.facebook.com/events/310199249617001/ PS: I spent a long time trying to figure out fix whatever the fuck I did to make the pitch of everyone's voice go down until I said, "Fuck it, close enough."  We'll try not to sound like demons next week.  -Phil

We're joined by longtime friend and co-worker of David's Kareena Leuta this week to talk about the empathy that comes from working in the service industry, get to the bottom of who the fuck would actually leave a Yelp review for McDonald's, the legality of crack heads sucker punching Disneyland employees, and copyright law! Don't miss Art in the Park: Create and Grow this Sunday, January 20th! https://www.facebook.com/events/352148695579696/

There's nothing more important than going out to Vote on November 6th (or participate in early voting from now until November 5th!)  I know I just wrote that and then spent the first half of the episode talking about  my new favorite show, Ghost Adventures, but we dive into the ballot in the back end of it and I run down the choices we all have to make in California.  We don't do anything NEAR a comprehensive job of explaining each of these decisions so please take a deeper dive into these issues (ESPECIALLY THE PROPOSITIONS).  If you need somewhere to start, you can start here:   CA Governor - Gavin Newsom House of Representatives - Harley Rouda United States Senate - Kevin De Leon CA Lt. Governer - Eleni Kounalakis Sec. of State - Alex Padilla Atty. General - Xavier Becerra State Treasurer - Fiona Ma State Superintendent of Public Instruction - Tony Thurmond State Controller - Betty Yee Insurance Commissioner - Ricardo Lara State 72nd - Josh Lowenthal State 74th - Cottie Petrie-Norris CA Senate 34 - Tom Umb

Activist and political operative Joese Gloria was summoned to the studio this week to wax poetic on how to do right by your community. We covered his work helping immigrants earn their citizenship, our role in mentoring the youth, and living in a world where nobody can stand on the sidelines politically anymore. You can check out Joese's podcast at facebook.com/ITZHAPPENINRADIOSHOW/ and if you live in Anaheim, consider voting for the candidate who's campaign Joese is running, Dr. Jose Moreno.

Activist Steven Martin manifested into the studio this week to help remind us why it's so important to vote! Steven walked us down his heart wrenching path to becoming an activist and laid out how he's literally fighting for his life from LA to the halls of the US Senate.

You can register right now in just 3 minutes by going to votesaveamerica.com/register.  You can keep up with Steven @StevenStar on Twitter and Instagram.  Get registered, register 2 friends, then let him know his work makes a difference!

We were joined by singer, songwriter Amanda Brooks aka AJ Euro this week to talk about how she expresses herself to people of all types, staying driven, and Avril Lavigne.  You can find her @Euro_Soul on Instagram for her latest releases!

We sat down with restaurant marketing Guru and CEO of 100inc, Bobby Navarro this week to talk about his incredible journey from food blogger to industry heavyweight!  He dropped a sizzling plate of knowledge on us about being in and branching out from fine dining, his charity that gives opportunities to those in the industry, and the "figure it out" mindset!  You can keep up with Bobby's work and life on Instagram (@100eats and @BobbyBeenThere) in that order.  Cheers!

Comedian Vee Bentley sat down in the studio this week to talk stand up. We chatted about her insane start in comedy, gushed about our favorites, and really nailed it when we discussed comedy's role in society. Don't miss her show "The Blend" in Long Beach at the Beachwood Blendery on October 26th and while you're at it stroll on down to see her perform at Flapper's on September 30th, the Hollywood Improv on October 7th, and follow her on instagram (@veebentley) to find out more about her mysterious new Mic she's putting together in Anaheim on October 10th!

We popped back in to the studio for a mini-episode this week before Dave ventured north wherever the wind blew him and I headed to New York.  We took that time to talk comics, video games, and tea!  Save the date for Art in the Park this month on September 30th!
