The LA Lloyd Podcast

Brent Smith from Shinedown interview with LA Lloyd

This interview is unedited and raw exactly as it was recorded April 16, 2018 backstage at The Tobin Center in San Antonio, TX immediately following an intense workout from Brent Smith.  It was pre-recorded to run Memorial Day weekend after the new album was to be released.  Normally, I will edit or clean up the interview due to background noise but Brent's honesty was so pure, I wanted you to hear it first-hand the same way I did.  After seeing their live show playing songs from the latest album "Attention Attention," Brent was at the top of his game with fellow bandmates Barry Kerch, Eric Bass and Zach Myers.  This interview also broke the record for most co-host appearances on my national syndicated radio show LA Lloyd Rock Countdown at 15 times.  It is a must-listen podcast for anyone who is a Shinedown fan, including myself who has been along for the ride since the first time I played "Fly From The Inside" on the radio 15 years ago in 2003.  Enjoy and thank you SHINEDOWN for the amazing songs!

Beaver Cool Aid Episode 20 – Macaque In The Morning

The Beaver hits its first milestone of completing 20 Podcasts. In this episode, Lisle eats some bad cheese and explains why it’s OK to buy the meat at Wal-Mart with the yellow tags to save a couple bucks. A primate escapes at the San Antonio airport. Many call it a baboon, but in reality it’s a Rhesus Macaque. Lloyd makes a few jokes about the pronunciation of macaque, which leads into a discussion of why a good night DJ will eventually become a great morning personality on the radio. Finally, Drew, Lisle and Lloyd discuss the Royal Wedding and how the new Duchess puts the “sex” in Sussex. Interestingly, this leads us into a history lesson from Lisle and thought provoking conversation of why Meghan Markle is called “bi-racial” by the media in the U.K, while Obama is referred to as “Black” and “African American” in the US. Why so serious?

Beaver Cool Aid Episode 19 – Eleven-Dollar Nuts

The Beaver returns after Drew has been traveling to Toronto where he attends a Blue Jays game and drinks so much he decides to leave in the 5th inning only to find out the next day he missed a no-hitter.  Later Drew’s travels take him to Los Angeles where he enjoys a few gummy edibles but loses one.  He traces his steps back to a taco stand and finds it on the floor.  Does he still eat it?  Lisle learns about middle school vaping from his 6th grade daughter.  Also, Lisle considers blogging about traveling as a career change but decides he doesn’t like to write.  How will Texas handle legal sports betting?  Lisle breaks it down.  A new Guns N Roses remastered Appetite For Destruction collection is available in June and we discuss “Box Sets For Dummies."  Finally, we pay tribute and say so long to one of our favorite restaurants as long time friend Chuck Stanley closes the CBQ Smokehouse.

Mature audience 18+
Drew is on a mission to bring back a modern day monocle.  Lisle discusses the first ever penis/scrotum transplant.  Lloyd befriends a fan that was labeled “KISS guy” by Dave Grohl after he got on stage and jams the song Monkey Wrench with Foo Fighters in Austin.  Somehow Lisle, Lloyd and Drew reflect back to college and how great it was not having everything documented on Social Media.  Unfortunately, Lloyd’s photo was captured wearing leg bandanas.  Finally, the college memories continue discussing having fun with photos to see how far you could go and actually get them developed without getting the “censor” sticker.  We end the show with a segment called “penis top hat.”

Beaver Cool Aid Episode 17 – Holy Guacamole

In this episode, Lisle’s daughter attempts to make the perfect foil sphere that we discussed in Episode 16…is she secretly listening to Beaver Cool Aid?  Drew brings up Carrie Underwood’s plastic surgery which leads to Lloyd contemplating removing a mole his kids have teased him about.  Lisle explains why Austin doesn’t care too much about the San Antonio Spurs.  Is Lloyd jealous about a new American Idol mentor?  And finally, Lisle contemplates pulling off a white-collar crime for an easier way of life…IN PRISON.

Beaver Cool Aid Episode 16: Japanese Shiny Balls

Drew discovered how the Japanese pass their time hammering out aluminum foil into perfect spheres, shiny orbs if you will. Meanwhile, Lloyd passes his time at his daughter’s choir concert while being berated by one of the fellow parents. Lisle spends some time near the Alamo while the Final Four takes over San Antonio. Drew is a bit envious over Pat Sajak’s lifetime tenure as host of Wheel of Fortune. Lloyd watches another Broadway production and raves about Jesus Christ Superstar and segues into a s**tstorm of berating the Beach Boys and then literally ends the show with a real life s**tstorm that everyone can relate to.

Beaver Cool Aid Episode 15: Mad Honey

In this episode, Drew discusses how Facebook stole your soul when you downloaded the app to find out which rock star you are…turns out LA Lloyd thinks he’s Vince Neil when he’s actually Mick Mars; Stormy Daniels gets 22 million viewers on 60 Minutes and still no one gives a s**t, Lloyd talks about growing up on a farm and what you are actually eating when you pay that little extra for “organic” food, Drew takes you on a trip to Nepal and trips back home with Mad Honey, Lloyd goes Mountain Biking and pisses off the Austin spandex-wearing riders along the trail and finally we celebrate Steven Tyler’s 70th birthday!

Beaver Cool Aid Episode 14: Do You Wanna Go Faster?

Final discussion about the Austin Bomber recorded just hours before he did his final job on himself.  It’s a bit eerie hearing the predictions of the outcome.  The show lightens up with Lisle playing AMA Ask Me Anything.  Drew brings up his former friend the Denver Porn King.  Lloyd and Lisle talk about losing their virginity and finally why Lloyd wanted to become a carny that eventually led into a radio career.
