POPULARITY
Sam Smyth fondly remembers his friend and fellow journalist Nell McCafferty. The trailblazing feminist has died at the age of 80. The Derry woman was synonymous with campaigning on prolific cases from the Kerry Babies case in the 1980s and the contraceptive train in the 1970s.
Vincent Alvarez was the first skateboarder on the Dickies program. He got on Chocolate Skateboards, turned pro, and had the first part in "Pretty Sweet". That's just the tip of the iceberg though. What's the most blood he's seen, how long has he been playing drums, what does Patlanta Saves mean??? Whether it was meeting S.A.D. at a young age or seeing Jimmy Wilkins land his first bump to bar with Tony Hawk; Vincent has stories for days. Sam Smyth said it in his first impression, “Vinnie's the fuckin' man-just ask anyone that knows him. He's the best!” SMFM with: OMEGA JACKSON: http://www.instagram.com/omegajackson --------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE NOW: https://bit.ly/2RYE75F --------------------------------------- FOLLOW VINCENT ON THE GRAM: http://www.instagram.com/_vincentalvarez_ --------------------------------------- INTRO MUSIC: "Mary's Cross" by Natur INTERVIEW & EDITED: Greg "Schmitty" Smith FIRST IMPRESSION: SAM SMYTH CREDITS MUSIC: “Adirondack gate” by Shane Medanich CLOSING MONOLOGUE: Noelle Fiore EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Sharal Camisa Smith SMFM MUSIC DIRECTOR: Shane Medanich http://www.instagram.com/shanmedanich WEBSITE: https://talkinschmit.com/ YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/TalkinSchmit INSTAGRAM: @Talkin_Schmit FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/TalkinSchmit/ --------------------------------------- CONTACT with comments or suggestions: TalkinSchmit@Gmail.com --------------------------------------- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS: BLOOD WIZARD (http://bloodwizard.com/) BLUE PLATE (http://www.blueplatesf.com/) ORO COFFEE (http://www.instagram.orocoffeeroasters_sf --------------------------------------- #skateboarding #podcast #talkinschmit #skateshopday #TalkinSchmit #VincentAlvarez #chocolateskateboards #crailtap #Switchskateboarding #Kickflip --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/talkin-schmit/support

Sam Smyth and Lee Smith met via San Francisco’s Embarcadero scene roughly 30 years ago. The duo were nearly inseparable from the start. From sneaking into raves in their teen years, to becoming roommates in L.A. in their 20s, to Lee hosting Sam during his trip to show his son New York for the first time as mature adults, the duo have shared many key life experiences. What’s most interesting about their maturation story is that skateboarding’s culture serves as the backdrop through it all. Whether you’re spending your New Year's Eve reflecting on the past and meditating on the future, or preparing to paint the town red, this episode contains a little inspiration for everyone.
Sam Smyth discusses growing up in San Francisco CA, spending every day at EMB, team manager for Experience Skateboards, Cream Skateboards & Profile Skateboards, James Kelch dismissing people from EMB, living with Mike Carroll, moving to Los Angeles, team manager for Girl & Chocolate for the last 19 years, the new Girl video “Doll”, Mikemo blowing the surprise of Malto turning pro, how EMB started becoming a bust and much more!
