Stein Time
Community based podcast hosted in talk-radio style format pertaining to the ”bubble within the bubble”, or in other words, a suburb in south Orange County California known as Ladera Ranch. I’d call this [podcast] an installation art project mixed with oral histories of sorts, garnered with a dash of cunning and wit. Join me weekly as we explore the ins and outs of this fascinating community and get to know it’s current residents. Equal parts sarcastic and intuitive-sit back, relax, and smile as we journey through one fun-filled conversation after another. I promise you will learn something and if I can’t keep your attention in the first five minutes then I probably don’t deserve you at all. So hurry up and ”Take the Test” to see if you’re familiar with any of our guests-so you can then roust and tell them how bad they sucked when you see them at soccer pickup next. Rome lasted around 500 years and we’re going on 23 strong right here right now...so we have a chance! Is Ladera Ranch really the best place in the world to raise a family and have young kids at the moment? Well, I think so but time to decide for yourself as we ”Get to know thy Neighbor my friends”! THIS IS STEIN TIME...AND ITS TIME TO CHAT... -- Carl !!)

Stein Time - Jay Rogers the Mastodon - Ep 10
Tuesday Jun 20, 2023
Tuesday Jun 20, 2023
I titled this episode “Jay Rogers the Mastodon” because not only is he a larger than life pillar of the community with teddybear like qualities, but physically he's also a big man whom could probably snap you in half if you really, truly angered him. And Papa Bear knows how to fight too so be careful….nah but for real the last thing you ever have to worry about with Jay is being hurt by him. I’m just trying to paint a picture for you same as we did in the making of this episode when we discussed an all matter of things. Most notably high school and youth sports-which can be a doozy here in Ladera, investing (concept of REITS and buying professional sporting teams), parenting high school to college age boys, [fighting] to keeping in shape and of course, Messi coming to America to play for InterMiami MLS soccer club. Ok, you got me, the latter we kinda just whizzed over with both of us being warm-blooded baseball loving Americans. But hey, at least we tried! Plus, can you believe with that move InterMiami is now valued to be over $1B USD…which is significantly more than a good chunk of major league baseball (MLB) franchises. Fml smh. I better get on this futbol americano thing asap eh! Well, regardless of your feelings on soccer/futbol I can assure you that you will 100% feel more enlightened after listening to this episode, and thank you again Mr. Jay Rogers-it was an absolute pleasure speaking with you…until next time!

Stein Time - Derek Willner the Californiadelphian with Class - Ep 09
Monday Jun 12, 2023
Monday Jun 12, 2023
Every so often a person comes along where you kinda just have to invent a word to create a proper title, as was the case with my most recent guest a Mr. Derek Willner. Born and raised in Delaware by day, native Philadelphian and city whisperer by night, it wasn't until a couple years back when he and his family finally decided to join us and take up residence here in our lovely Ladera. Coming from San Francisco too...need I say more? Hehe. No, for real, we are so happy they did and to say they've been enjoying it would be a severe understatement! He truly did love SF so it was a big move indeed, and be sure to catch his punk rock venue tips in this episode so next time your up in the bay area you can go and check them out. But beyond local venue recommendations Derek literally brought so much other thought and insight to the table-and we talked about an all matter of things. From partying young, to raising children, touring with the Grateful Dead, career and college advice, this is surely an episode that you do not want to miss! And oh yeah, did I mention that Derek's also seen a real-life ghost, or apparition as some may say, and when it actually turned around and looked at him....well...I guess you'll just have to listen in to see exactly what transpired. Thank you again Derek, and I very much look forward to the next time we sit. There is so much that we did not cover which we totally could have, so a Round dues is most definitely in the cards here. Boomshockalocka!!

Stein Time - Ladera’s Finest with Jay Rogers & Greg Sink - Ep 08
Thursday Jun 01, 2023
Thursday Jun 01, 2023
I definitely flipped the script for Ep 8 and beyond being my first threesome (myself + 2 guests in studio), community advocates Jay Rogers & Greg Sink literally taught me more about our community in 90 minutes than I’ve learned in the last 5 years. No joke! Did you know the HOA is not LARCS…nor LARMAC? Do any of those things ring a bell for you? If you’ve absolutely no idea what I’m saying then don’t worry, there is still hope, but not if you don’t listen to this episode. To say it was the most informative and community oriented show to date would be spot-on, as there were over 30 years combined servitude and experience sitting in the casita for this show. Jay & Greg, Greg & Jay, well they dropped knowledge like no other and we honestly could’ve all went on for another 3 hours had we the time. So, definitely lookout for each of them to be coming back individually in the future, for some 1-on-1 time in the hot seat. But, while I had them you no we couldn’t resist covering some of Ladera’s more juicy topics to date, such as e-bikes and safety, or theft, robbery and stabbings. Ok that last one was a super random one-off occurrence but still, you know. And I don’t think it was the Chileans-just some dumbass kids. Seems we’ve got plenty of those around here lately, instead of just add water I guess it’s just add e-bike. Massive thank you again to Mr. Jay Rogers and Mr. Greg Sink for joining me on this episode and literally donating their continued time and energy to our illustrious community. You two are honestly unsung heroes and thank you. Enjoy Ep 08!!
PS - Vote for them both (if you like them as much as I did) for LARCS board. Check your email inbox for a message from larmac@tieivote.com for user name and password to vote, and please do so before June 9th!

Stein Time - Mr. Trustworthy Timmy Dean - Ep 07
Tuesday May 16, 2023
Tuesday May 16, 2023
Well, the old adage is definitely false when it comes to Tim Dean-as he is most certainly a trustworthy man. From friend, to coach, husband and father…don’t believe anybody if they ever tell you "not to trust a man with 2 first names" as that is certifiable bs, and you'll know exactly why after listening to this episode. In reality, Tim may just be the most trustable guy ever when it comes to having two first names and has lived in our community for a decade and a half. So he’s got like TOTAL OG status on you most likely, as that's 15 years for all you mathematicians out there! From residing in Ladera's Canada (aka the "other" side of Crown Valley) to moving somewhere else within the community every 3.5 years approximately, Tim's definitely seen it all. Not to mention an expectant father-waiting on his third-I’m sure he’ll play it cool as a cucumber same as he did as Lead Guitarist in a ska band during his formative years. You definitely gotta tune in for our college discussion/portion at the very least…as Tim's band literally almost went all the way-but I’m not gonna give you the name of the band here as I don’t want to spoil anything. But if you know MTV....anyhow...The juice is worth the squeeze on this one I promise, and thank you again Mr. Tim Dean. It was an absolute honor and pleasure hosting you in the casita and I hope we get to hang or maybe go to the beach and get our bronze on soon…damn May Gray and June Gloom…anyhow…without further adieu I present to you Episode 7!
