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.

thanks so much to woods for having long lost joe on a podcast, find out more about west coast oktoberfest at WestCoastOktoberfest.com

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)

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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".
