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.

Dashawn obviously a phenomenal talent on his board, with character, an unparalleled work ethic and graciousness so much that he has been compared to HOFer to be, WR Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals. We talked about Chandler Park to moving to LA to world wide travel and recognition, he is seeded 5th as of July 15th in the world in street. And yet a test to his character he continues to ride for his hometown shop, Cowtown Skateboards. “What is going to do about getting that kickflip right (Sinclair) Sinclair approved lol” Talks about blowing up Chase Gabor’s phone to lotion time his lazer flips and a lot more, as well as a new board sponsor ( keep your eyes open for the official released and announcement) which is a perfect fit!

The king of pop, company owner, ripping pro skater Matt Miller joined me on The Desiree SHOW at the Dash Radio HQs June 11, 2109. Matt shared the secret to his pop! First board, set up mishaps, how he learned Kick and heel flips on the same day, his mentors, as well as this new amazing product he has founded, Miller Healer. Also, what "Up Dutch" means, Rob Welsh shared a tour memory and Matt filled in the blanks. "Big heart, Big pop - Matt is one of my all time favorite skaters and more importantly, all time favorite humans. I’m thankful I can actually send him a text once in a while. He’s actually been a guest pro for the kids at NMSA a few times. He’s a great example for professional skateboarding. Tell him I said hi" - Neal Mims He is someone whom when asked about the first word that comes out of is his pop! and how awesome of a human he is! Matt shared with me the patches and I used on my neck/shoulders and was blown away that it not only helped that night but the next day I felt 100% better.

David Reyes joined Desiree on May 28th, 2019 as well as a special appearance by Mike O'Meally and his son Theo at the Dash Radio HQs. David has the gift of impacting all those on his path whether on his board bringing great infectious energy to any session or off of it bringing laughter, smiles and the true gift of friendship to those closest to him. 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!) Stay tuned to David's return and for a full exclusive show with him as well as Mike O'Meally. The Desiree Show broadcast on Dash Radio airs on Wednesdays 4-5 PM and Fridays 7-8 AM PST. Warm thanks to Ryan Sheckler, Julian Davidson, Manny Santiago, Fabrizio Santos, Angelique and Joe Hammeke.
