Steven Johns is a long-time SoCal staple in skating, tattooing, and general blade culture. He’s started his own podcast, called The TruSpin Podcast, so we talk about that, as well as hear from him trying to steer me away from talking about modern politics. And other fun topics.

When there's a city experiencing record-breaking high temperatures, what's a good investigative journalist to do? Oh yeah, you go to that city. 

Phoenix bladers Andrew Scherf and Dan Howard can handle a little heat, so, in the middle of a heat wave, we talk about blading in the town's scorching temps, the levels of awkwardness in podcasting, "Knee High" and other trends in rollerblading.

Adam Bazydlo (a.k.a. Bladezilla) is a hammer drop-rail skater from the South. You may recognize him from his solo sessions on Instagram, the cover of ONE Magazine, or from the new VOD, “Moments in Time.”

Adam came to the Bay Area with his wife, Kaydee, to visit friends. So, naturally, Phil Moore and I had to invade their hotel room. We talk about his skate spot hunting, why he ducked away from his sponsors, and more.

Matt Murphy and I were heading to skate and BBQ in St. Helena, so I hooked up the audio gear in my truck and we recorded on our way north.

Along the way, we inevitably talk about politics, comedy, what skating means now versus when we were kids, and so on.

Shredpool is, well, a Ryan Reynolds joke gone too far but handled so well. Shred and Deadpool both stab people for a living and love showing the kids at the skatepark how it’s really done.

On this episode, we talk over Skype about his stockpile in the League of Xsjados, having the same dog, and, of course, the genesis and existence of @project_shredpool on Instagram.
