TheDesireeSHOW

Flash Back from March 20, 2018 Dr Jen Welter joined me again on the show. Also hits on Vans Women's Combi, quick wrap up on Vans, 'Get On Board: A celebration of Women's Skateboarding' the show I curated, MC'd and was moderator for. A vien that I started that show off with was a quote from Michelle Tafoya, as we also honor international women's day ( a bit delayed). "I never went into it [the business] thinking 'I'm a female sports reporter'. I just went into it thinking 'I'm a sports reporter'. No chip on the shoulder, no feeling like a victim when you walk in, no feeling entitled when you walk in. You've just got to do your job and work extremely hard. I think it's very basic. There's no magic to it. I think honestly it comes down to how badly do you want it. How hard are you willing to work?" Dr Jen always with amazing insight, experience and inspiration, "The field of dreams for me was football" - Dr Jen Welter The Desiree SHOW the only place where the NFL and Skateboarding meet. Always raw an unedited for better or worse.

From his first shoot onto runways to Offset, and everywhere in between. In addition, two amazing images which will be going up for sale, before he destroys the files. QB Tyrod Tayler; since his arrival to the Chargers, I have been impressed with his ability on the field, his work ethic and the way he carries himself. I had a few minutes to speak with him. On this day, he was the last one off the field as he continued to do sprints and his own training way after everyone had left the field, personifying what I have taken note of.

His skating and work ethic phenomenal, as Thrasher photographer Joe Hammeke shared, "One time I went to Colorado to shoot one photo with Ernie Torres and David picked me up at the airport we got the photo with Ernie and then over the next 4 days shot an entire interview with David." He is giving back always, to inspire anyone coming from a similar upbringing, to collaborations with Villalobos a pit bull rescue to being a board member on The Sheckler Foundation and helping to be the change. His creativity also impacts many facets as well, from his board, to a status of tie dying aficionado with a body of work scattered throughout many brands, his mosaics and the entire process of creating them, to designing his sleeves for his Happy Hour Shades, in of course, Broncos colors. Lots of fun conversing with Mike, David and myself, from first boards to Siri, trips and on and on till Theo woke up from his nap. A little different show, but lots of good times, even skating at the Dash Radio studios, (see what you missed on IG!)

Truly a treat to have Jerimiah Spicer in studio at the Dash Radio HQs on April 30th and quick hits on the Chargers Draft and the 2019 Draft Party.

Super thankful to welcome 'JK' John Kelly of the Rams for the Desiree SHOW on March 19, 2019 at the Dash Radio Studios. Someone whom represents everything my show is about and whom oozes with humility and grace. The Desiree Show tagline 'First Downs and Flip Tricks' personified! Skateboarding saved his soul and football his life and has his inspiration tattooed on his arm, 'Keep Pushing', ( he also a football). He has a phenomenal story, and although I've hooked up many NFL players with skateboards, I have yet to see one that rips like John does or that resonates what a skateboarder is. From skating a 9-stair handrail with no grip tape to becoming NFC Champs and going to Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta with the Rams. He is truly one of a kind! Probably the only skateboarder in history to play in the Super Bowl. Hope you enjoy getting to know John as much as I did. For better or worse, always unedited and raw! Thanks to KVR at Vans for hooking up some custom Vans for John to design and Wave Soda for sending him a box off goods.

I welcomed the extraordinary MARC JOHNSON November 13, 2018 to the show. Seriously one of the most interesting humans!! He comes with a list of accolades ( too many to list) but including Thrasher Skater of the Year 2007 (SOTY), over 34 video parts, he's a company owner and all around creative minded authentic individual. One of the most technical and phenomenal skaters ever, "He's one of the best skateboarders ever" -- Giovanni Reda. We skimmed or hit on many points including MySpace perils, his first skateboard with a story never heard, where his SOTY award resides and ironically on national pickle day, which is the key ingredient to his infamous breakfast sandwich. Also, stay tuned to Marc's return as so much we couldn't even address, (talks of a mini series on the forecast). Heads up also for Business and Company board release with a n ETA of February 2019.
