My Friend Greg

In this episode we packed up the whole set up and took My Friend Greg on the road to Studio 405 In OKC to link up with our people, talk shop, and officially kick off the hype for Thundertats Expo in OKC (July 17-19). This ones got everything - introductions to the crew, behind-the-scenes of the tattoo world, and deep dive into what it's really like being tattooers across different eras. We break down how the industry has evolved, the wild shift in tattoo technology, and how we all ended up developing our own styles. Of course, it wouldn't be us without some chaos - random tangents, bidet debates (yeah it went there), apprenticeship stories, and the kind of unfiltered conversations you only get when tattooers sit down with mics. If you're heading to Thundertats or just want a raw look into tattoo life past and present, this episode sets the tone. Pull up, press play, and welcome Studio 405.

Episode 18 gets a little emotional...But don't worry, we still keep it unhinged. We're officially saying goodbye to Stupidface as he packs up and heads to Montana for his next chapter. Before he disappears into the mountains (or gets eaten by a bear), we bring in a special guest - his dad Kenny, now forever known as Señor Stupidface. We get into Kenny's daily routines, life wisdom, and what its like raising...well, Stupidface. Then things take a hard left turn into one of the most important debates of our time: In and Out vs Smashburgers. We also breakdown what Montana life is really like - especially if you're coming from California - and whether Stupidface is actually ready for it or about to be humbled real quick. All jokes aside, we wish him the best on his new journey (even if we fully expect chaos). It's laughs, roasting, questionable advice, and a proper send-off for one of the shows favorites.

After a long break, we're finally back in the studio and catching up on everything that's been going down. From chaos at the shop to prepping for conventions, it's been anything but quiet. We also get into the bittersweet side of things as we get ready to say goodbye to Stupidface before his big move to Montana - pour one out for the homie. Greg's on the rebound and feeling better (miracles do happen), and we talk about getting life back on track, daily routines, and "allegedly" staying consistent with podcast moving forward. Same energy, same nonsense...just slightly more organized (maybe).

We're finally back from vacation and work traveling and, honestly, barely holding it together. This episode we unpack the questionable "relaxation" choices we made, play another short round of would you rather that immediately goes off the rails, invent slang names for random groups of people, talk about the weird chaos of everyday life. Basically - same nonsense, better tans.

In this episode, we sit down with Blu, a local sheriff deputy, to get a behind-the-scenes look at life in the badge. Blu shares his day-to-day habits and walks us through his career path-from what inspired him to join law enforcement to what it's really like working in the community. We also dive into some strange and downright hilarious laws, plus swap stories about the wildest things sheriffs and cops get into on and off duty. If you've ever wondered what its like to wear the uniform-or just enjoy hearing about the unpredictable side of the job-you won't want to miss this one.

In this episode, the crew dives into the small stuff that makes up our everyday lives - those quirky habits and routines that keep (or break) us. The conversation swings into tattoo shop stories, flashes back to past relationships, and unpacks the chaos of toxic meltdowns while lashing out. It's raw, real, and sprinkled with the same humor and honesty you've come to expect.

This week on My Friend Greg, we bring in a brand new guest Michael Poe, and things get weird in the best way. we dive into Macgyver medicine (AKA the crazy way medica improvise in the field), share our darkest humor (fair warning), and debate the songs you absolutely have to eat food to. Plus, we swap petty war stories, rant about horrible bosses, and probably say a few things we shouldn't.

This week, we welcome Greg back to the routine and we dive into one of our funniest and most relatable conversations yet - pet peeves! We go off on the weirdest habits that drive us crazy, like people clapping when the plane lands or at the end of the movie. We also dig into where our names came from (spoiler: some of them are pretty random) and roast Luis a little for his "creative" English skills. Its the perfect mix of complaining, laughing, and telling stories that only we could tell.

In this episode, Greg makes his big return after a medical emergency, and we brought in a special guest - Royale. In this one we bounce from tattoos and the ever-evolving tattoo industry, to AI's place in art, Royale's unique daily habits, and even the great debate on bidets. Its raw, funny, and exactly the kind of chaos you expect when Greg's back in the chair.

New guest alert!!! We brought in Hesston to spill about his wild days and how his workflow really goes down. Jake checks in fresh from Sturgis with some road stories, we relive the time we almost died (yes really), and swap war stories about the bars we will never step foot in again - and exactly why. It laughs, close calls, and questionable decisions packed into one episode.

Greg was out this week dealing with some medical curveballs, so we're rallying the tattoo community for a benefit to help cover his expenses. In the meantime, we go full throttle on tattoo talk - the designs we flat-out refuse to do, how burnout creeps up on artists, and the chaos that unfolds when clients think they're the art director. It's equal parts shop talk, vent sessions, and a love letter to keep the craft alive.

In this brutally honest and slightly unhinged episode, we rip the bandage off polite small talk and dive deep into what tattoo artist really think. From walking red flags to those "sick tats" that absolutely aren't, we're covering it all. Tap out sessions? We've seen worse. Facebook questions? We answer them...kind of. And if you've ever brought your own "design" drawn in crayon, this one's for you. Get Ready for tattoo truths, wild stories, and probably at least one regret.

This episode you've all been warned about. Greg finally opens up in the podcast - and instantly lowers the average IQ in the room. We dive headfirst into Why you actually got fired (spoiler: it wasn't budget cuts), unpack the amazon cart of shame with drunk online/Walmart purchases, and expose some "questionable" Mexico stories that should come with legal representation. To top it off, we play a round of "Would you Rather" that will make you question our sanity - and yours for listening. Listening discretion is advised. Mostly for Greg's sake.

In this episode, we welcome Stupid Face - formerly know as Art by Jdog, currently know as a disappointment to at least three art teachers and one confused probation officer (just kidding, he's never seen the inside of a cop car). We unpack his crime-free existence, which somehow feels like a bigger red flag than the actual felony. We discuss his artistic "evolution" which is just a fancy way of saying he gave up and changed his Instagram handle. Also featuring: zero edge, mild opinions, and the safest rebellion you'll ever hear. This is the episode that proves you can be a tattoo artist, a grown adult, and still get ID'd at the movies.

In this episode we sit down with Jake Kloos - living proof that rock bottom has a basement. From questionable public bathrooms to living life in the Great Plains and all its Mexican food choices. Jake takes us on a hilarious, chaotic journey through the moments that made him. Buckle up, because this less of a podcast and more of a warning label. Come hang out with us as Greg and the crew dive deep into Jake....figuratively not actually.

In this episode, we finally introduce Luis - the man, the myth, the absolute menace with a WIFI password for a laugh. Greg and the crew invite Luis to dive into the chaos that is Urban Dictionary, taking turns defining the most ridiculous (and questionable) definitions they can find. From words no one should say out loud to terms Greg swears he "definitely didn't invent," nothing is safe. It's a wild ride full of laughter, confusion, and secondhand embarrassment.

In this hilarious uncomfortable episode, Greg and friends dive deep into the messiest moments life throws at us - literally and figuratively. From embarrassing accidents to the kind of disasters you pray no one ever finds out about (oops, too late), nothing is off-limits. Grab a fresh pair of pants and prepare to laugh, cringe, and maybe question your life choices right along with us.

Episode 2: Daily Habits-Chaos has a routine. In this episode of My Friend Greg, the crew dives into the strange, surprising, and oddly inspiring daily habits that keep (mostly) functioning. From Art by JDog questionable breakfast choices to the rituals that keep their tattoo machines running and their minds (somewhat) clear, its a behind-the-scenes look at how routine shapes creativity, sanity and everything in between.

Welcome to the first episode of My Friend Greg, where we dive headfirst into the chaotic brilliance that is Greg. In this episode, you will meet your hosts-tattoo artists, storytellers, and professional oversharers- as they introduce the legend himself-Greg. Who is he? and why does Chelsea have so many snacks? and how this friendship became a podcast? Tune in for behind-the-scenes banter, origin stories, and a glimpse of the wild ride ahead.
