de las Carnitas - The Encinitas Podcast

Podcast studio is back in order. JT runs into a character from the last podcast, Jose gets fiesty, Oly comes in hot.

After 4 months of no recording, the boys are back. I (JT) don't feel like typing a description so have a listen to the usual banter and ranting sprinkled with some cheezy jokes. Enjoy

An update on the police & office situation, a followup to last episode's chocolate chip cliffhanger, conversation etiquette & free salad.

Help save Downtown Encinitas, it won't be the same with a police watchtower. The cops are moving in next door to JT's office unless he can find a renter. JT and Jose kinda re-cap last weeks lost podcast, talk pasta & the usual nonsense. Where's Wally?

Oly & JT go live again. JT starts off with another unbelievable coincidence. Oly warns JT he is sick after they start recording. We fumble around a bit, talk politics and news for 1-2 minutes. They once again agree to make a commitment to weekly recordings and listener interactions.

Marc & JT reminisce about childhood next door neighborisms. Oly talks teachery stuff & Darius laughs aplenty. Lots of local name drops. JT has new capers & antics, Marc has a green thumb, Oly is going to a concert & Darius knows a bit about Leucadia. Enjoy the trivia!

Our first sit down of 2018 discussing our surprise that we actually have friends who are listening to us. We compare and contrast the Oceanside experience with our reality, the Moose Lodge vs the Elks Lodge, planned growth and old school vibes. J.T. taking classes and Toobin' through Cuyamaca, to E.R. visits for split head syndrome. Another series of fireside chats from your favorite nerds gone mild... well, not too mild.... J.T. gets bleeped for your safety.

A mid December sit-down to reminisce about past fire storms in light of the longest Indian Summer in memory. When will the moisture return? What caused the Harmony Grove fires? Will our friends lose their home to Thomas and Lilac? How do you approach a blind man? Can JT get his view back? Does he have allergies? Are reunion shows of punk rock dinosaurs legit? These are all the difficult questions we attempt to tackle, debunking the rhetorical while cautiously skimming the defamatory. Living on the edge, as only aging nerds can do. Nerds gone mild… proceed with caution.

After a 6 month hiatus we talk about Oceanside, riding the bus, flyers, shaking hands with the blind, salsa swapping & strong telescopes.

The following message was received May 4th, 2017 via our website; "What can I say gentlemen, I love the podcast. Entertaining and authentic, with a touch of bitterness! The first episode I listened to was Cote's, which is ironic since I had a mention in it (yay me!). But it made me giggle and scream, and I quickly listened to all the others. I was debating if I was cool enough to reach out and demand to be the first lady to be on the podcast, but I hesitated. (Because, self doubt, and I have never really felt cool enough, I mean 2/3 of this town still say my name wrong.) Anyway, sounds like that spot has been taken, but might be fun to do an Agatha, Greta Maja podcast, which would be rad?! Or weird. Also, I wanted to introduce myself to JT, cause as crazy as it sounds, I don't know if I have ever met you?!? crazy right. And Darius I seriously never knew if you knew who I was, and then suddenly we were friends of Facebook. So lets be friends!! Keep being awesome. xx greta" After our people discussed terms with their people, we were able to meet up with the Morgan sisters, Agatha (0), Greta (18), and Maja (24). Matriarchs of the greater Daphne divide, the Morgan sisters are true legends of our town. Chances are if you grew up here then you have a story that involves one, or all three of them. We spent some time picking apart stories of the past, projections of the future, and a furious battle over some Encinitas trivia. Enjoy!

Mom assisted carpooling connections in the mid 90's…. linking the Diegueno/Oak Crest divide and nabbin' wood at empty construction sites from the back of a white pick up. Front wheel driving through dust bank, ABC Video, San Simeon, 1st Street, and high-desert nautical explosions. We had a chance to sit down with our old friend, Danny Ashley to dig deeper into the beautiful life of living the dream.

In 1989 JT's office used to be a Tease-A-Gram operation ran by Eileen. We talk about being an entrepreneur when the town was bare. The term Inlanditas (coined by JT's dad in the 80's) goes on public record for the first time. Running grunion, OP, mandatory reporting, live podcast and more.

The podcast is in danger but JT has an idea. Listen to find out how you can support a fellow struggler and keep the podcast alive. Please follow @encinitasmap & @delascarnitas on IG. Send any comments, complaints, or suggestions to delascarnitas@gmail.com

JT gets profiled, tells a secret, gets intimate & un-gifts. Oly drops some history, Darius talks the biz. On the way down the waterslide of life with their grapefruit they talk fan appreciation, High School lunch, burrito revelations and more. Always check your toothpaste...

Long time friend and local legend Chris Coté stopped by the Keyva Studio to talk story. Pacific View days to Dad days, we cover the tangental spectrum of the beautiful life of Encinitas existence over the past forty years of life. OlyO's, D St, Boilermaker, La Petite Boulangerie, Juanitas gap, Yogi's, and the psychological forces behind the inner Coté… the motivational drive that can turn on a flood of joyful tears at the glimpse of an old man reuniting with his lost hound dog. Strong men also cry.

Influential Encinitas legend Jimmy Gillan owns Rancho Auto Body, builds hot rods, surfs, coaches, and is essentially a father to many who grew up in Encinitas. We talk baseball, shop, his journey to Encinitas in the 70s, sending youngsters on a positive path, La Paloma, and the roadmap to one day become Mayor Of Encinitas.

A few weeks back, de las Carnitas was treated to awesome generational perspectives on Encinitas, as experienced by Jeff “JT” Timpson, and his son Zane. Both characters are living/breathing examples of the friendliness and buzzing creativity, emblematic of those residents deep-rooted in our community. Listen in to share memories of surfing Enc in the early 70's, insight into what makes a skate “schpot” legitimate, among other radness. Check out our companion post on www.delascarnitas.com

The guys drink beer, reminisce about Encinitas, skateboarding and stuff, then eventually get side-tracked by striped sweater characters from the 80's. Recorded 8-26-2016

We had a chance to sit down with an old friend from our childhood, Encinitas lifer and business owner…. Jose Balderas. We discuss the rapid change in Encinitas over the past 40 years and the finer things in life like baseball and hot sauce. Recorded 11-12-2016 Check out Jose's Baseball Performance Academy at http://bpasd.com Visit http://delascarnitas.com for show notes and read inside stories about Encinitas

Cardiff+Encinitas. Carnitas. Three dudes living here, commenting incessantly in 2016 about how much change is accelerating lately, remembering back to a different time, not that long ago. Lots of stories, smiles, and gripes. Light bulb over JT's head… pull it into a podcast and share. So join us - Oly, JT, and Darius as we journey through a people's history of Encinitas.
