The Dutra Difference

Chuck Roque, Camera Clown, Comedian, C300 Owner/Operator that likes astrology & Larry David. Durning this episode there was a KC/LV game on in the background. Chuck comes from a long line of Raiders fans so it was good to beat them on this particular day. GO CHIEFS!!!

Kenan Kaya is an up & coming comic from Orange County. 26 yrs young & he’s been at it about 5 yrs. We smoked, we drank, we laughed. Now you get to listen to all the high-jinx and shenanigans. Hit him up on Instagram @turkodelight Also follow @topsecretcomedyshow for his free comedy shows in the Orange County area.

We had such a good time we had to go 1 more round. This episode is about everything & about nothing. Just a couple of buds shootin the shit. ENJOY 🤙🏼

The Dank Dough Bakery is the passion of Gregorio Calvillo. He’s a single father of 2 girls both under the age of 10, that turned the pandemic into a opportunity to follow his heart & take a fucking chance. He uses all natural ingredients & to make a product, in his own kitchen, that promotes a healthy lifestyle. The bio on his page says “I compliment the flavor of cannabis with the upmost bold and flavorful desserts and treats! This was all just once a hobby that turned into a dream”. You can find him on Instagram @dankdoughbakery I can tell you first hand it really does taste awesome. Get some!!!!

Adam is the owner of Subfighter gym in Laguna Hills. He’s a former US Marine & Pro fighter & east coast native. Sitting down with him only reinforced my opinion that this is a good dude. Not just a good gym owner, but a good human. Something that is not very common. So I hope you enjoy this podcast & have a few laughs with us.

Bobby stopped by to have a good old fashioned bullshit session. I had a blast hanging out with him & that’s all you need to know. ENJOY 🤘🏼

Larry is a Santa Barbara native that played 6 years in the NFL at the Fullback position. He was the first player at Norte Dame to be given a scholarship to play football from a community college. We talk about how he went from never playing a game in high school to finding his way to the NFL. It's a great story of finding courage & confidence in the obstacles life threw at him & knowing where he wanted his life to go. I really hope I get to have him back, because I know he has a lot more to tell. 

Keith is 1 of the owners of Garden Grove Hydro & Nursery Supplies. I ask him all kinds of questions about pretty much everything to do with growing plants. He totally asked all of them & really gave some great advice. If you have a green thumb, you should definitely check out this episode,  

This episode I talk to the ladies from Amuse for Autism. Britt, Ally & Melina. These women are on a mission to bring social awareness to special needs education & communities. Advocating maintaining unity with Special Needs. I hope you enjoy this episode. Please reach out to them if you can help out at all.

Alex is a stand-up comedian & an author. He’s been through his share of ups and downs and his comedy reflects that. His jokes are honest & personal and really funny. I really enjoyed getting the chance to sit down with him and I hope you enjoy listening to it. @itwasprobablyalex

Jesse is an old friend that I’ve always tried to keep in touch with because my experiences with him have always been positive. We talk about what it was like to be a racially mixed child raised by white parents & how that effects how he goes on raising his own step-son. Just a warning we go deeper than I thought we would. So this podcast went all over the place.

30 Episodes!!! I think thats a good number to wrap up the 1st season of The Dutra Difference Podcast. So this episode is a thank you to all the guest, listeners & people in my life. If I missed you, you probably wont know because I doubt you listen anyway. 

Cameron & Emma are a couple that both identify as Non-Binary. They are both 20 years old & have been dating for about 9 months. They are both really smart & made it easy to ask any questions I wanted. My hope is that someone out there hears this and it helps them understand some of the things going on in their life or maybe a friend or family member a little better.  I think a lot the negativity that is going on in the world is due in a big part to people just not talking to each other.  Thank you again to Cameron & Emma for taking the time to talk with me & help clear things up. Check out Cameron's music on Spotify "Just Cameron" https://open.spotify.com/artist/0slEljDEPlrihHRFBbFYxG?si=AQuH1JSnQ_a52AQGsrX8Dg

In this episode I talk about Run The Jewels & why they are the most important band right now. With the world turned upside down, they seem to be the only ones telling the truth (except Joe Rogan). So if you like this episode please give RTJ4 a listen. I promise you will not regret it.

BACK FOR MORE!! My guests for episode #27 are 2 friends from stand-up comedy, Troy Douglas & Ara Azad. Both are funny, smart & say dumb shit. They've both been on the podcast before, so you know what you're getting into. You can find them @troydouglaslol_ @arazad_ I hope we dont get in trouble for ignoring the social distancing.

My guest, Brandon Freeman, is 1 half of the rock duo out of Fresno, Ca. CLOUDSHIP. He plays drums & slays at lead vocals (I know, right?) He's also newly married (a couple years) and Jamie even stops by. Brandon is one of the most insightful humans i know & it definitely shows in his lyrics. Cloudship released their 5th album, BELIEVER last year. Which is my favorite so far. I hope you enjoy this half as much as i did.

This is my 1st episode with the ZOOM app & I couldn't think of anyone else I would want as a guest. My ride or die, my brother from another mother, the wind beneath my wings. None other than Jon Napoles. But I wanted to talk to Jon. Not the guitarist for CLOUDSHIP, his band. Just Jon, which I swear is more than enough... oh yeah, its also my birthday. Enjoy.

Covid-19 is really doing a number on things. Jobs, public policy, social distancing, the list is a mile long. But I know we'll get through this. People will need help and its possible to give it. We just need to remember we're all in this together, whether you're sick or not, it will effect you. So help if you can. Shout out & thank you to Cloudship @stillmoonlight @brandonfreemanmusic for the introduction music @cloudshipmusic "jailbreak"

My favorite ethnic rock duo CLOUDSHIP, stop by for a bit to rock out a podcast. Brandon Freeman, vocalist/drummer & Jon Napoles guitarist/ bass, better known as B•Free & J•Nap make up CLOUDSHIP. I always look forward to the massive amounts of comic genius that comes from the 3 of us when we're together. We're totally not funny at all individually, but together its GOLD. So enjoy. Cloudship on Ringside with George @cloudshipmusic @stillmoonlight @brandonfreeman #Cloudship

In this episode I met with Dr. Jim Pugh & CEO, Lisa Wood from Casa Teresa, a shelter for pregnant women in crisis. They help women get their lives in order with different programs & classes such as educational (GED, diploma & college), life skills, parenting, financial and many more. They also remind the women that their situation doesn’t have to define who they are. They help the woman believe in themselves, not just with the classes & programs available, but by showing love & compassion. Things many, if not all of the women at Casa Teresa have been missing from their life. It really can be that simple. Casa Teresa is a great example of people helping people because its the right thing to do. We can all use a little more love & compassion I think. You can them follow Casa Teresa on Instagram @casateresaoc & you can find their donation store/boutique @thecollectionbycasateresa If anything I hope this episode motivates people towards their community to help in whatever way they choose. Nothing is too small when it comes to kindness.

Bella came to our apartment like a force of nature. Super outgoing, smart & positive vibe. The more we talked, the more I thought I had to have her on the podcast. There's no Instagram or Facebook link because she doesn't have those. There's no website because she wasn't selling anything. This is just me wanting to give someone who is hardworking & driven in life the chance to not only tell her story. But also to remind all of us, life is what you make of it. Bella is definitely the the type of woman I hope my daughter looks up to.

Comedian & friend, Troy Douglas @troydouglaslol joins me for a special tribute episode for the late Kobe Bryant. We kind of go all over the place, but it's always entertaining with Troy.

Brittney Bas is a single-mother of twins, Hannah & Hunter. Hunter has autism. As if raising kids wasn't hard enough, right? Well this woman as not only taken on every challenge with her own kids, but is now trying to organize her community of Huntington Beach to be more family friendly towards kids with developmental disabilities. She's planned a fundraiser for Amuse 4 Autism on April 18 in HB, tickets are only $25. She also has a GoFundMe https://www.gofundme.com/f/AMUSE4autism?utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer&utm_campaign=p_na+share-sheet&rcid=7476a438205345bbaafc270b8a004497 so if you're looking for a cause to support, this is one that could use some hometown love.
