Cantore + Yew!

Cantore opens the show talking about ripping his board shorts while surfing and showing his junk to the entire line-up. He also shares an observation about the entitlement some people have after hitting cross-walk lights.  Cantore visits TV personality, author, and cook-extraordinaire, Sam the Cooking Guy, at his new restaurant, Not Not Tacos, opening this week in the Little Italy Food Hall with hospitality group Grain & Grit Collective. Not Not Tacos will serve up genre-bending fare that pushes the envelope of culinary creativity with tacos that are big, bold, full of flavor and made from things not normally found in authentic Mexican food (looking at you meatloaf, salmon & pastrami.) Before introducing us to the restaurant, Sam opens up to Cantore about his insecurities and the pressures of coexisting in a modern world that puts so much value on wealth and material items. Also, great discussion about how weed can perpetuate self-doubt. 

Director of photography and marine biologist, Richard Fitzpatrick, talks about his new film, Great Barrier Reef, opening this week at the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park. What started as a kid capturing sharks on the reef with his buddies has turned into a career as an Emmy® Award-winning cinematographer who has shot more than 50 films for clients such as the BBC, National Geographic, and Discovery Channel. Cantore opens the show talking about 4th of July in the neighborhood and how he's not afraid to beam kids with water balloons. While thanking sponsors, Cantore discusses how new cannabis laws and regulations have created a bottle neck effect at local dispensaries.

Singer / Songwriter Steve Poltz joins Cantore for a discussion about music, health, and politics. Steve performs a couple of songs, talks about his (semi) recent stroke, sobriety, + life in America under Trump. See Steve perform at the Birch Aquarium, Wednesday, June 20th, 2018.  This episode of Cantore+YEW! brought to YEW by: Torrey Holistics, BajaBound.com, TheScooterFarm.com, + Birch Aquarium Green Flash Concert Series.

Former San Diego Weatherman Brad Perry joins Cantore to discuss why he up and left a well-paying gig at a KUSI (with no savings) to focus on self-improvement and a new path in life which includes charity work and launching his own web series, BIG BRAD ADVENTURES. 

Back from Kelly Slater's Surf Ranch and a 10-day trip to Rio with the WSL, Coté joins Cantore to tell him about hosting the inaugural Founders Cup of Surfing and what it's like to actually ride the wave.

Cantore welcomes his friend Ryan Berman of www.sockproblems.com to discuss Interactive Day San Diego (and Cantore's new favorite show, Cobra Kai.) Plus, it's Gordon & Smith Day in San Diego with a phone call to Larry Gordon's daughter, Debbie about her father's new bench at Tourmaline Beach.

Cantore is joined by one of San Diego's BIGGEST entrepreneurs  Jon Carder who has founded five internet businesses, his first at the age of 19 while a sophomore at Point Loma Nazarene University. Retired when he was just 27 years old, Carder got bored and launched MOGL, a reward program concentrating on restaurants using card-linked technology, which later pivoted to  Empyr, a B2B platform that helps websites and apps generate revenue from online to offline commerce. Huh? Doesn't matter, if you are an entrepreneur, or aspiring entrepreneur, this interview is a must.

Ocean Beach, San Diego's David Wells, known for pitching a perfect game and helping two franchises win the World Series, joins Cantore + YEW! for an in-depth discussion about CBDs (cannabidiol) -- a cannabis compound that has significant medical benefits, but does not make people feel “stoned.” After 21 years in Major League Baseball filled with multiple injuries and surgeries, the all star gets candid about the benefits of CBDs from kicking opiates to pain relief to starting his own CBD company, CBD Centric (with his buddy O.B. Steve.) In the second half of the interview, Wells shares a series of compelling anecdotes from his baseball past -- including the infamous story about pitching a perfect game hungover.

One of skateboarding's finest, most respected photographers, Grant Brittain, looks back on a lifetime of shooting the skate world for 40+ years.  A 2014 inductee into the Skateboard Hall of Fame and Museum, the longtime Encinitas resident began his photography career in the late 70s at the Del Mar Skate Ranch, which he managed. From shooting Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, Stevie Caballero, Tommy Guerrero, Rodney Mullen, and Mike McGill of the Bones Brigade in the eighties to Danny Way jumping the Great Wall of China in 2005, Brittain's imagery has inspired generations of surfers and skaters worldwide.

Cantore talks to legendary San Diego storyteller / broadcaster Ken Kramer of 'About San Diego' about San Diego -- and, personal anecdotes that make Ken even more awesome. 

Cantore talks to Dr. Bob Uslander, Medical Director and founder of Integrated MD Care of Del Mar.  Dr. Bob (as his patients refer to him) is one of only a handful of physicians that offers "Aid In Dying" services. Since June 9, 2016, California’s End of Life Option Act has made it easier for people with terminal illnesses to choose when they want to die, but, needless to say, it remains a controversial subject for many families, friends and medical providers. That being said, Dr. Bob's primary goal is to make people more comfortable with the concept of dying.

Legendary San Diego broadcaster Jim McInnes joins Cantore to discuss the early days of radio (AKA sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll,) as well as San Diego in the 70's and the gnarly health battles he's conquered. Good shit. Also, Cantore shares a life lesson learned from Kelly Slater during the Pipe Masters and the return of Rob Molt, super critic.   Brought to YEW! by Torrey Holistics, South Coast Surf Shops, and SurfersHealing.org
