Stein Time - The Magnificent Chef Kiel (sounds like Kyle) - Ep 05

I titled this episode The Magnificent Chef Kiel because that is exactly who Mr. Kiel Anderson is, an extremely rad homosapien sapien. A consummate friend, OC native and “Chopped” television show Champion (something we ironically did not get a chance to cover on the podcast) it was an absolute pleasure to host this man in the casita and chat about life for a couple hours. Being the most underground chef in the region, whose dishes have been tantalizing taste buds and winning hearts across our community for the past few years, get to know him now before he totally blows up and then doesn’t have time for us peons anymore! No, in all seriousness, Chef Kiel has been working his magic in the kitchen for almost two decades now and this passion started at a young age-as unlike most he knew exactly what he wanted to do and who he wanted to be before graduating high school. But, beyond his excellent cuisine, it is really the man whom he is and the support or visibility he has within our community or city which truly make him great. Kiel Anderson’s trajectory is like a rocket right now, and I was honored to hop on the gravy train for just a minute to learn about what truly sets him apart and the journey he (and his food) is on. Mucho Mahalo Chef Kiel!  (NOTE: to all you Ladera Ladies out there, would LOVE to have you on the show-plz just lmk. Bring a friend too, no prob. Just seeking some Female perspective please)

Stein Time - eFoster the Team Builder - Ep 04

**Apologies for my slight delay in releasing this episode or for the break in episodes recently, I was on vacation for spring break with the fam. But, I'm back, more refreshed than ever and ready to rock, so watch out now...Steiny back out the zoo y'all!!
I titled this episode eFoster the team builder because not only is this something Eric [Foster] has apparently done very well professionally in life, but, in my opinion is also an attribute that directly correlates with his personality and all-encompassing good nature as a human being. Even if he does hold us up at that red light/street gone wrong we call Cecil Pasture, I promise you this show is quite an adventure. Hailing from the Midwest [MI] originally then moving to the South [Hotlanta], onto abroad [UK] - now finally settling here with his fam in our soCali paradoxical “bubble within the bubble” paradisio, Mr. Foster’s perspectives were unique, fun and strangely fantastic. I learned a ton about eFost (yupp, already abbreviating) as a fellow friend, creative, neighbor, dad, developer and sapien. Which, when I really look at it I’m outrageously pleased with, as that’s totally the WHOLE point of my show…Get to KNOW thy neighbor my friends!! Like all my guests, Eric is another solid dude and it was all genuine laughs and smiles creating this episode. Who knows, after the show we even chatted about him potentially coming back with a 3rd wheel (another guest) and popping my Threesome cherray in the process...so like I said-who truly knows. What I do know, however, is that Eric and I are homies now, so anytime we get to chill I'm all for it...thank you again kind sir. Mucho Mahalo (NOTE: to all you Ladera Ladies out there, would LOVE to have you on the show-plz just lmk. Bring a friend too, no prob. Just seeking some Female perspective please)
**Highlights include: Yoshi dominates Mario Kart, neighborly love, raising little girls, CA drought still…really, foot fetishes, slangin’ fake Id’s, uprooting and buying a home during Covid, bad drivers, crossing the Canadian border, living in the UK and sooo much more…

Stein Time - Jon B the Fireman - Ep 03

Jon Burckle is an extraordinary human being whom literally saves lives for a living. And how do I know this you ask, simple, because when you call him and he cannot answer you receive a text message which reads “On a call saving a life right now, call you back”…genius! Not only is Jon a family man but he also has a great sense of humor, sharp wit and boyish good looks (ok his wife told me to add that last part) which made sitting down with him a real treat. We discussed life in Ladera, his occupation (Fireman) where the life-saving comes into play and oh what a joy it was to hear him describe the Casita. Another one of “Ladera’s Finest”-as are ALL my guests-you truly don’t want to miss this episode. Chalk full of laughs, sarcasm and a modest dose of intelligence…I promise we’ll keep you guessing and laughing simultaneously!! Welcome to Ep 03.
**Highlights include: dog blocking, hate towards Blippi, how to give Advice, being a Housewife, dating your dead brother’s ex, over-the-counter Tracking Devices, lost Uranium, Ladera MOM’s-the reopening of the baseball fields and sooo much more…

Stein Time - D. Cyphers the Professor - Ep 02

With the last name Cyphers, I should've known that you're bound to spit game on the microphone one way or another. However, instead of dropping lyrical wax as it may appear at first glance, my man Darryl rocked into the studio (aka Carl's Casita) and dropped straight KNOWLEDGE! This is most definitely a conversation for the ages, with so much candor and insight you may honestly have to listen twice in order to take it all in. Darryl is one of the most eloquent and humble human beings I've ever spoken with, and the word "refreshing" is all I can think of to describe it. So, please, sit back-relax and enjoy as the two of us discuss how Darryl became a Ladera Ranch resident, family, youth sports, and just our overall society as a whole.
**Highlights include: Toyota or Oda, Fertility miracles, Covid making our kids weird, Choose your words, SAHD and baby groups, Crazy Coaches, the perfect room/office, Salary negotiations, Grand Theft Auto...What is a Beanis and soooo much more!
