UnofficialEpisode 97: America the Land of COPportunityIt seems like with every new episode I'm ranting more and more about the corruption we find systemically replacing our freedoms in America.
The days of innocence are long passed and now things just seem to be different variations of shit-sandwiches.
Cops are abusing their power. Wives are pretending their weddings never happened. And Incels are being bested by alcoholic, disabled toddlers.
Ok that last one might be a bit of a stretch but you'll have to listen to the episode to learn the truth.
Until we meet again...
for the first time,

UnofficialEpisode 96: The WhoCARES ACT & the Heat Death of the UniverseDamn! When will the insanity end? Maybe when our sun explodes and not a nanosecond sooner. In the meantime the disparity between the wealthy and the now unemployed, continues to grow exponentially as the unprecedentedly corrupted CARES Act, successfully expands the social chasm between the rich and poor. You thought it was big before...it just got $4 trillion wider.
As the CEO's and politicians increase their portfolios and the average American gets a stipend for a month's rent, reanimated tax-code loop holes are giving millionaires yet another new revenue stream. While Republicans may not be known for their artistic creativity...2020-05-2500 min
UnofficialEpisode 95 (Myantology Edition) Rule 8 and ByeBye BernieWow this one really kicked my ass. You do a podcast for a year where you basically hit the record button and wing it for an hour with absolutely no edits and not technical responsibilities, to what Myantology has become and it's like going from serving drinks on an airplane, to building an airplane. Good thing I love it. They tell you that when you're a kid, "do what you love." I am pretty sure a fifteen minute podcast about an internet social news aggregate was not what I had in mind at the time... but here we are.

UnofficialEpisode 94 (Myantology Edition)Cornpop, his bad boys and Sellout Symone SandersYou know, I'm no Justice Warrior. I'm more of a Justice Enthusiast. I'm not on the front lines, I'm at home, Justice-ing between plates of handmade pasta and little crackers topped with salmon spread and pickled jalapeño slices. Hey, when you can't leave the house because of corona, you become the host, waiter, busser AND chef of your own personal café and let me tell you, Chez Myannaise, although very very exclusive, has been booked 24/7 for weeks now.
Today's' five course meal marks the ubiquitously adored (and feared) rule of three. As Myan's third solo episode of Unofficial, the ap...2020-04-0200 min
UnofficialEpisode 93 (Myantology Edition)Trump's Punchable Face and The Great HackI would never advocate violence for any reason outside of self defense. But look at that face. In other news if you haven't seen the documentary, The Great Hack, you might wanna check it out. Adds another piece into the puzzle of understanding how Trump was able to drop his dick on the desk in the oval office. Cause it's still a mystery to me. Every day. Every. Day.
To those who hate it when you. do. this. Sorry. I just thought it was funny so I went. for. it. Again, sorry.

UnofficialEpisode 92 (Myantology Edition)Covid-19 Herd immunity & Bernie vs. Biden 12What do you do when the whole world starts to fall apart? Do you curl up, accept defeat and wait for the demons to harvest your organs? Yes, sometimes that’s all you can do. But other times, when the gut-merchants are busy with other homes and red tape gives you a few months of breathing room, you shout to the hilltops! Hey, Hilltops, you think you’re better than ME?! I read Atlas Shrugged, what did you ever do?!
It’s time for Unofficial to return to the digital airwaves and although Coop&Myan are still friends, legally Unofficial can no...2020-03-2600 min
Unofficial87 - It's a Show about AnythingPeople keep asking me what the podcast is ABOUT? In truth there are a lot of answers to that. There’s rants on tv and film, bitch-sessions about things in our society we do or don’t like, sometimes we get a bit political and we are always making fun of something. To say we like to tangent from each topic would be a gross understatement. We also have lots of guests and yes they are mostly artists, musicians, actors, singers, writers, dancers, producers and the occasional small business person and always someone whom you would otherwise never hear, see or g...2019-10-2100 min
UnofficialEpisode 86 - Chema Prods The BearI think it’s safe to say that when you start a podcast and interview people every week you know that a personal story will reveal inner truths that may not be your average topic of conversation. That’s why we do it, frankly and this week our friend Chema did not disappoint. What goes on in the mind of an intelligent, capable man when he marries an even more capable woman? Is standing by your woman enough? Are you the kind of husband who needs to accomplish more? Are you the kind of wife who can be content with a hu...2019-10-1800 min
UnofficialEpisode 85 - Franky Football and Legal PED'sIt’s true, sometimes good things do come in small packages so I’m going to be positive about this week’s first show being a 10 minute shorty…
That being said who wants to talk FOOTBALL??!! No not soccer…FOOTBALL!! American football is so aggressive and militarily oriented it literally stole it’s name from the most popular sport on the planet. Brilliant PR move and somewhat impressive in a conquering/colonialism sort of way. Bullet passes, long bombs…you get the idea.(Thanks George) Hey if you think about it, the Patriot’s 2007 Spygate scandal was just simple reconnoissance. That’s allowed i...2019-10-1000 min
UnofficialEpisode 84 - Unofficial Season 2 - Studio CityWe did it! We friggin’ did it. Coop&Myan have been talking about their eventual move to a larger studio space for months and just like our visionboards depict, it is glorious. And what better place to start your own weekly broadcast but the infamous, Hollywood borough, Studio City. Yeah I’m sure it’s technically not a borough but fuck it, ART!!
We thought it only made sense in honor of our new beginnings that we share it with our most loyal friend of the show…The strapping, leading man himself, Ben Gavin. And his new best friend the inherent...2019-10-0700 min
UnofficialEpisode 83 - Cristyne Lawson, The Original Black SwanIf you’re a dancer, the names Ruth St. Denis, Doris Humphrey and Martha Graham all have deep significance in the development of modern dance in the early to mid part of the 20th century. Even professional dancers today know the history these three masters helped cultivate. Imagine beginning your dance training as a child with Ruth St. Denis, navigating cultural racism while performing with Doris Humphrey and ultimately traveling the world dancing for the great Martha Graham. A name even today’s non-dancers recognize. Our guest today did exactly that. Cristyne Lawson, now 84 years young visits Unofficial and tells her...2019-10-0200 min
UnofficialEpisode 82 - Super Girl, Greta Thunberg vs. Super Turd, Donald TrumpIf you thought that geranium you made out of a 2 liter bottle of Schweppes in 2nd grade made you an environmentalist then definitely don’t follow Greta Thunberg because this young lady is taking ocean voyages to avoid air travel to help diminish her unavoidable carbon footprint. That is sustainability. She also coaxed her mom off of the most efficient form of long distance travel as the woman was kicking ass in her professional opera career. I was already scared of having kids for the sheer level of responsibility and now I’ve got to worry about them making me a be...2019-09-2600 min
UnofficialEpisode 81 - The One With Myan's MomYeah I guess you can kinda judge this one by the cover. Would you be right though? Is this the episode where Myan’s mom comes on the show and bakes a bunch of cookies? Is she going to tell the story about the time Myan’s pants ripped in the middle of the junior high school recital? Maybe the one about the multitude of hyperdimensional realities existing simultaneously throughout an infinite multi-verse though completely invisible to almost every human that has ever existed because we were designed by an elite alien oligarchy who created mankind as a slave-race as a wa...2019-09-2200 min
UnofficialEpisode 80 - "Sorry, Hollywood." - Grace MummWhen was the last time you had a baklava croissant? Yeah, me neither! Ok, added to planner. Honestly, how much do we love baked goods? Pastries, danish, turnovers, beignets, financiers? Doughnuts? (that’s a weird word) Do you love them enough to leave the profession you’ve had your sights on since you were a kid? A career you were actively successful in? A passion millions of people would die for and even devote their lives to achieving but never attain?? If so you are among a very elite class of artists along with our very charming guest today, Grace Mumm...2019-09-1900 min
UnofficialEpisode 79 - Darth Hammertime the CyborgWhen you’re a kid sometimes you think the future will be this crazy, robot infested tech-scape with eye-scanners and personally-targeted advertising like in Minority Report. And then you get a little older and the world still seems a little backwater and pedestrian. But another decade goes by and you find yourself lusting after electric cars with motors that make internal combustion look like an Atari 2600 and before you know it, you’re interviewing a Cyborg on your podcast. A goddamn Cyborg.

UnofficialEpisode 78 - Undercover IdiotHow is it that someone like Bernie Sanders can spend his entire career always championing the people while virtually making no political mistakes that can be clearly illuminated for their grave miscalculation yet Joe Biden can be relied upon to continually misstep, fumble and fail yet be named the front runner? But is Joe Biden really the front runner? Are we all so weak of character that simple name recognition is enough or is it possible that he's not really in the lead but the media are simply reading their scripts so that we think he is. Can you see...2019-09-1000 min
UnofficialEpisode 77 - The Great Ali StarrlightEven if Coop&Myan had a tax attorney on the show they’d probably find a way to equate what he/she does to their artistic self. Everything is art and every week Unofficial finds a way to make at least a few minutes of creative artistry using nothing more than two or three brains and the collective content of the human race to this point in history. Gold outta tin cans. Luckily for all of us we have a really special guest this week, she’s young, she’s tall, she’s talented, she’s intelligent beyond her years. She’s the...2019-09-0500 min
UnofficialEpisode 76 - Got Ethically Deficient Milk?Technical difficulties left us with little time for a full length show today but I think Coop&Myan made the most of their limited session. We like to set the bar low so every show is a smashing success.
Complaints about faulty equipment, a protracted discussion on the many different types of modern, alternative milk (and how disgusting they are to we traditional milk fans) and of course how you can be a better person by simply choosing the product 2 inches to the left. Yes the hypocrisy in choosing any cow milk over the other disgusting options is not lost...2019-09-0400 min
UnofficialEpisode 75 - Erin McIntyre's Tree of GoalsCoop&Myan remember when 50 episodes felt like some crazy number and now at 75 it’s surprisingly the opposite. After a year into Unofficial and only weeks away from a larger studio, it almost feels like we’re just beginning. Maybe it’s because we finally got Erin McIntyre on the show and between her crossfit obsession, newly acquired Masters in Nutrition and super-hot, lawyer boyfriend, the reality of Myan’s physical and dietary inadequacy is palpable. Like a thick cream-based stew with enough calories for a bear cub’s winter hibernation. Could I have found my spirit animal?? Today we also learn...2019-08-2900 min
UnofficialEpisode 74 - Make Yourself At HomeThe boys are back at it again with the 74th installment of Unofficial! Only a handful of episodes left until Coop & Myan head to their new studio in the sunny hills of Studio City. Get comfortable, make a coffee and listen to Myan explain the niceness of the "French family".

UnofficialEpisode 73 - RedditardedWhenever a guest falls through Unofficial goes to it’s happy-place, aka Reddit. It’s definitely still clunky on these visits but there is something special about the chemistry, Coop&Myan just sort of let loose on the front page and its a bottomless pit of opportunity for humor, knowledge, WTF and of course, puppies and kittens. Coop&Myan aren’t huge WTF fans, not big gross-out pranksters, we’ll leave that to the cool kids while we nerd-out on musicians, actors, politics, repeat-marathons of the Office and of course…puppies and kitties!! Yeah that’s more like it.

UnofficialEpisode 72 - You’re the bitch, bitch!Do you like eating food in restaurants? You do?! Are you sure you know what you’re doing? Would you be shocked to find out you’ve been doing it wrong? Well today on Unofficial, it’s etiquette-education time, restaurant edition. Rule #1 when dining, don’t call your waitress a bitch. Seems obvious, some still struggle. Rule #2, don’t be an alcoholic. This one’s a bit more common and most likely related to rule number one. And rule #3, don’t say to the manager, “you know what, fuck you“ for absolutely no reason. Rule number three feels strangely similar to rule number two...2019-08-1900 min
UnofficialEpisode 71 - Reddit to the RescueThat’s it, it’s official, Reddit has become Unofficial’s #1 friend of the show. No one has been on the show more often than our good friend “The front page of the internet”, and no one has brought more consistently top notch content and unblemished reliablitly. As a fan of Reddit for over a decade, Myan credits the now “5th most visited site in America” for his undiagnosed, adult onset ADD and of course the style in which he cohosts the show. It’s a mixed bag. Cooper loves Reddit too and it’s honestly such a joy since Myan spent the las...2019-08-1500 min
UnofficialEpisode 70 - Fuck Your Feelings!Have you seen the leaked footage of Trump doing yoga? OK that’s not real but that image probably made you laugh because it’s so absurd and frankly, revolting. Can you imagine that fat fuck doing anything beneficial for body and mind? Just the thought of that flatulent slob caught in a Happy Baby pose like a flop-sweating, obese tortoise is enough to make you spit-take your Diet Coke all over your big Mac buffet. Luckily for America a Sanders/Warren ticket is the antidote for the festering, open sore of the Trump “presidency.”
In episode 70 Myan illustrates the average...2019-08-1200 min
UnofficialEpisode 69 - Ben Dornbush (enlightened in LA)Every day in Hollywood we are surrounded by the sights and sounds of people clawing their way to success in their perceived paradigm of happiness. You have to be tough, you’ll need a little talent and you’ll probably have to eat some kale. But some say success in Tinseltown means selling your soul, handing over your innocence and compromising your principles. For many that may be true but for our guest today, it’s all about being a better person. In a town someone once called the City of Satan, Ben Dornbush is finding a taste of what some m...2019-08-0800 min
UnofficialEpisode 68 - Tarantino, Bernie and sex crimesIt’s not often Coop&Myan can brag about being super-focused, staying on topic or sticking to any kind of predetermined subject matter. But change is good. Always growing, spitballing and exploring new attempts to refine our voice at Unofficial, today’s half hour episode breaks the show into three,10 minute chunks, each one focused on a unique topic.
Our first segment is a speculative romp through the mind of Quentin Tarantino, his career plan to make no more than 10 films and a little trek down memory lane for Old Hollywood. Part two is all about the Bern. Bernie Sanders, Amer...2019-08-0500 min
UnofficialEpisode 67 - Laura Baguette (she's Chumbelievable)I guess you can say Coop&Myan are a bit partial to having actors on the show. If you were a theatre-nerd as a kid, we’ll probably enjoy having you around. Today’s theatre-nerd we loved having is our friend, Laura Baggett (like “bag-it” not actually “Baguette") a once potential Ford Modeling company prospect, until her parents screwed it up, the inaugural winner of the Ali Murphy Memorial Award, stand-in for Jessica Biel AND Elizabeth Banks and creator and star of the potentially viral youtube music video, Milf Rap. There is very little that Laura can’t do, she survived the...2019-08-0100 min
UnofficialEpisode 66 - Sorry I’m LateIf you ever wanted to know what Unofficial would be like as a one-man show…today’s your lucky day. Myan being the forgiving soul that he is, decided that the 405, aka “Sorry-I’m-late-freeway” deserved one last chance. Unsurprisingly his heart was broken yet again as the uninspired, archaic design of the 405 completely sabotaged any chance of starting episode 66 on time. So fearing Myan would never arrive, Coop decided the show must go on. What a professional.
Listen to Coop sing acapella excerpts from the lion king while peppering in spot-on impersonations of Mufasa and even some of the rodents in the ens...2019-07-2900 min
Unofficial65 - Our Special Guest...Reddit!!If you’re a fan of everything, then Unofficial’s patented Reddit episodes are exactly what you’ve been craving. What started off as a lark has now become a staple format for Coop&Myan. I wish we did Reddit for a full hour.
So if you like magic-pranks, accidental-LSD trips, Cardi B knowing more about Bernie Sanders than you do or how caveman disprove the existence of Jesus (and maybe the occasional reference to the movie Clue) then check out episode 65, Reddit: “The front page of the internet.”2019-07-2700 min
UnofficialEpisode 64 - They’re Called LavaliersHave you seen the last episode of Game of Thrones? Well don’t say anything because Myan hasn’t seen it yet. Honestly, great television shows are not that common, it really sucks when the epic ones come to an end. The good news is that Hollywood doesn’t seem to be cutting back on production anytime soon, you can’t walk to the coffee shop in LA without stumbling over a handful of on location sets, and a multitude of companies and services like HBO, Netflix and Hulu seem to be ramping up spending with every new year.
After spending...2019-07-2200 min
UnofficialEpisode 63 - Felipe de Lara (brainy&footsy)One of the best things about having a podcast is not knowing who your next guest will be. Whether it’s an old friend or a complete stranger every week is an adventure. This week’s adventure is with adventure-junkie and actor, Felipe de Lara, most famous from Telemundo‘s El Señor de los Cielos (The Lord of the Skies) In which he played “Bonito” for 17 episodes. And most recently, Hulu’s original Blumhouse production: Into the Dark, episode 10. Culture Shock.

UnofficialEpisode 62 - Car NerdsIf you didn’t know that Cooper got a Saab 900S on his 16th birthday or that Myan will never drive a Hyundai Sonata then this episode is tailor-made for you. Confused about the differences between an Acura RLX and ILX? Us too! At least we can all agree that Saabs were better when they were round and Volvos cooler when they were square. ...And not owned by GM and Ford.
Don’t worry, if old Japanese, South Korean or Swedish cars don’t interest you, I’m pretty sure Myan mentions wine and cheese near the end. Don’t miss it!

UnofficialEpisode 61 - Ben Gavin, #1 on the call sheetAs promised, Ben Gavin is back to talk about his recent month on the set of the film, A Place Called Home, written and directed by Kiel Thorlton.
Ben plays a young man named Levi, who after losing his wife during the birth of their second child, finds himself a single father in trouble with a loan shark and in danger of losing his home.
There are countless hurdles in the career of an actor and even if you get the job there is still a cornucopia of compromise... but every once in a while you get a job with...2019-07-1100 min
UnofficialEpisode 60 - I Like What I MadeIs art good? Does anyone care? If that’s not a question every artist asks them self from time to time then they’ve reached a rare place of creative confidence, one that may elude the vast majority.
I could have titled this episode something clever about voicemails or phone calls to previous guests and started off with some joke about “waiting for the beep“ and that would’ve been fine but I think Sydney’s thoughts at the end encapsulated a much more poignant issue to close the show that was bigger than any of those other obvious options. Thanks, Ms...2019-07-0800 min
UnofficialEpisode 59 - David the Purple Belt and Gracie Jiu JitsuDo you remember the moves in your best Escape-Kata? Do you still have your Yellow Belt? Is it JuJitsu or Jiu Jitsu??
Mixed Martial Arts aka MMA, is America’s newest mega-sport. The UFC is now endorsed by ESPN and riding high alongside the likes of the top 3, Baseball, Basketball and Football. Although technically still less popular than classic sports like Hockey, Golf and Tennis, It’s safe to say MMA is cooler than most of these sports combined…after all it is one person pitted against another, engaged in a simulated Death-Match inside a cage. Although it’s a sensitiv...2019-07-0400 min

UnofficialEpisode 57 - Will, the French DrummerEvery week Unofficial finds an unknown artist in Los Angeles and brings them right into your ears. Coop&Myan cross paths with someone interesting, ask them if they want to share themselves with the world and we get a glimpse of someone’s life we would otherwise never know. This week it’s a young man named William Thomas Brunet, a visitor from Lyon, France, here in America making his way as an artist, a songwriter and most often, a professional drummer. Now if you’ve been paying attention you know that Unofficial has a tenuous relationship with practitioners of the Pe...2019-06-2700 min

Right before his audition? Yeah, who knows if that’s even true, I heard it on the Internet… And now you’re hearing it on the Internet. The circle of life continues. Nature.
Speaking of the nature of our cyclical world, it’s time for a hypothetical bucket-list question. Which would you choose, eating the worlds best financier cake at Benihana with Dana Carvey? The world’s worst grilled cheese at Swingers with Chris D’Elia, or a mediocre lobst...2019-06-2000 min
UnofficialEpisode 54 -Boys Just Wanna Have GunsCoop&Myan often agree… But sometimes they don’t. Trying your best not to kill babies? Totally agree. Spending your free time at preliminary murder trials? Mmm, disagree. Myan likes guns...Cooper hates the Second Amendment. Is home-protection the same as open-carry? Does rationally preparing to defend your loved-ones with a legally purchased firearm make you a “gun-nut??” Who knows!
I tell you what though, if a woman’s orgasm had a firearm equivalent, it might be an A.R. 15 or some other form of assault rifle. Comparatively, a man’s orgasm is probably something like a Derringer .22 LR. Haha, gun jokes, r...2019-06-1700 min

Whether it's Muppet-porn parody references, Donald being called out as a racist, sexual-predator by a "Shadow Foreign Secretary" or a dog who likes to play with himself, nothing is guaranteed but our passion for...whatever.

This week on Unofficial Coop&Myan venture into a territory they never before imagined. Friend of the show, Josh brings his twin six-year-old daughters, Beatrix and Zoey to discuss their disbelief in the Almighty God, the public school system’s still-thriving indoctrination of the Pledge of Allegiance and th...2019-06-0600 min

Where else can you tune in twice a week and get more coverage on more random poignant pointlessness in only 30 minutes than on Unofficial. Our 60 minute guest episodes on Thursdays adds another random element to Coop&Myan's inimitable chemistry that only expands on the creative unpredictability of their rabbit-hole investigation of the oft silly and always crazy, digital-era human condition.

Unofficial comes back next week, fresh faced and full of fanciful fables from firma afar. Coop&Myan are almost back in the studio and both have their tales of travel adventures as Unofficial’s vacation package 2019 comes to a close today with just a tiny peak behind the curtain. Just a quickie impromptu correspondence from bro to bro. Sometimes it’s the little things.

UnofficialEpisode 48 - Superman vs. Invisible manThe power of flight or complete invisibility, which would you choose? Some say the joy of flight is an unparalleled proposition while others feel invisibility is a bottomless chasm of opportunity. Both can be used for good or evil and both shed light on the inner workings of the individual’s true nature. But what is the real-world fallout if this actually took place?

UnofficialEpisode 47 - Fahrenheit 47Documentaries are an obsession. Candy-coated for easy consumption. Sure there are biased accounts, packaged to serve an agenda and maybe even successfully fooling many of us most of the time but the facts can often be there too. If you can see them.
Michael Moore tackles two modern issues that go all the way to the top: the flint water crisis and the beginning of the trump presidency. Two straightup clusterfucks driven by greed and the perversion of law and justice. Fortunately Coop&Myan know very little on the subject and will be voicing fully formed opinions on the matter...2019-05-2300 min

Coop&Myan aren’t even in LA…In fact, Myan couldn’t be any farther away and still be in the continental United States. Hell, Coop isn’t even in the country… But we are still finding a way to waste your time and we are doing it on schedule, as Unofficial’s vacation package rolls on through the end of May.

UnofficialEpisode 42 - Budget & Box office"I LOVE THE 405!" Said absolutely no one, ever. Seeing as its America's busiest freeway you'd think tens of thousands of motorists would praise it's construction and arterial access to so many areas of souther California. But since it's also the most congested freeway in the United States, the consensus shall likely remain...nope, it sucks, hate it, thank you very much. Such is human nature, we adapt to anything, so much so that we often take great achievements of modern convenience for granted on a collective scale.
Apparently America doesn't take Marvel for granted as Avengers: Endgame opening weekend topped...2019-05-0600 min
UnofficialEpisode 41 - Sabrina SoundsWhen was the last time you walked into your bosses office and said, "I can't stand it anymore, I QUIT!! ...for 3 months." Did you know you could do that? If your boss is cool, he/she may actually be OK with it.
We all have that one friend who fills every allotted second on our voicemail. Sometimes it's annoying or weirdly narcissistic but once in a while it's an interesting, creative, brilliant friend and those long messages are a greatly anticipated, euphonious joy. Our guest this week, Sabrina used to leave those messages until one day she used a memo...2019-05-0200 min
UnofficialEpisode 40 - Once Upod a Time in HollywoodIt's amazing the things we tolerate as Americans. Fake cheese, fake boobs, fake news. China however, takes it to a whole different level. Knockoff Teslas, plastic rice, even fake eggs. Really?? Talk about your Faberge' albumen. Alright that one's probably not gonna land.
If discomfort from synthetic food wasn't bad enough, this week on Unofficial, Coop and Myan bring up the universally recognized cringe-factor in The Office episode: Scott's Tot's, the awkward pity of Buster Scruggs', "Meal Ticket" (the Boy with no limbs) and the unwatchable nature of that one scene in the classic, American History X. Why doesn't Tarantino...2019-04-2900 min
UnofficialEpisode 39 - Hollywood WorksHave you ever wondered how someone "makes it" in Hollywood? Michal Gruszczynski, a Polish cinematographer puts his life on hold in Poland and starts from scratch in Los Angeles. With no job, no wheels and no place to live, Michal gives himself 15 days to find a car, an apartment and a film project. After 6 months in America and a handful of new credits he heads back to Poland with new representation, at a new level in his career and with a deeper emotional understanding of his professional self.
Coop and Myan get really lucky snagging Michal 16 hours before his flight...2019-04-2500 min
UnofficialEpisode 38 - She's LyingIs Myan Finally getting a Tesla?? NO! Well yes but not right now. Elon emailed last week and said he could lease one for cheap so it's basically T-minus for launch. Yeah Tesla Stock has taken a hit recently but disrupting a 100 year old industry of human transportation for a global population, literally fueled by the lifeblood of the corrupted world economy (after war of course) is not the simplest task. Luckily the profits made on a little Tesla stock will eventually pay for the downpayment on the lease making every aspect of modern, electric car-buying an overwhelmingly sustainable endeavor...2019-04-2200 min
UnofficialEpisode 37 - Live in a Question MarkIf they made Punky Brewster into a feature length film and they were casting for a 28 year old Punky, I'm pretty sure this week's guest would land the gig. Kelsey, a friend of the show and gift to the world is the kind of girl-next-door you want in your corner if life gets even remotely somber. She is ageless and has a zeal for living that rivals that of the little girl who stood on the bathroom sink and purposely declared to the world that she liked absolutely everything. After months of pleading Kelsey finally worked an Unofficial visit into...2019-04-1800 min
UnofficialEpisode 36 - SnafuThis week starts off with a hiccup. More like a hotcup actually. Coop's cup of coffee gives us a hurdle one minute into our grueling workweek. Luckily for us great art comes from real struggle so we quickly turned it around and churned out another epic half hour Monday. This one is filled with tales of mediocre adolescent-athleticism, under-appreciated frontier vignettes and the boy's passion for Kevin Hart's dirigible soul. You can tell that guy's a good dude.
There's something about our Monday morning romp that we really like keeping simple, get the week started with some comfortable shenanigans and...2019-04-1500 min
UnofficialEpisode 35 - Justine and the GingerstalkJustine Monsul, creator of monfefo cold-press juice company drops a case of her Turmeric shots on the boys at J30 Studio. And they won’t shut up about it. They can’t stop saying how delicious it is, how much organic energy it gives them and what a “simple-ingredient-genius” Justine happens to be. It’s getting kind of annoying actually..give it a rest, guys.
Ok I just tried one of the Turmeric shots, with orange, lemon, agave and black pepper and I would just like to issue a formal correction on a mistake I made in the previous paragraph. As it turn...2019-04-1100 min
UnofficialEpisode 34 - Tell Your Mom She FailedWhat do parents, mom-game, kids, babies, twins, triplets, best friends, couples, spouses, raising a family in LA, neighbors and little dogs all have in common? They’re all in this show. Wow this is really a family oriented episode. Feels almost TOO wholesome. Would it help to even things out if I told you the neighbor anecdotes are not exactly flattering? OK good. Yeah the neighbor stuff is not great. Some people are truly unhappy. So let’s make fun of them!
This week Unofficial really finds it’s stride. Coop and Myan are building the kind of momentum most often...2019-04-0800 min
UnofficialEpisode 33 - That Thing You Did, featuring Jordan ParkerWith the veritable ocean of different music in the world, who's to say which style or sound is "the best", right? Well me, I'm gonna say it...R&B. It's R&B. More specifically the best R&B singer in the world is Jordan Parker. You don't know who Jordan Parker is? Well you should. And now you do. You're welcome. Now if you don't think you can hang with Jordan because you're "just not cool enough" to be in the "same room" as such a "Hollywood Superstar" then first let me applaud you for your self awareness but also...2019-04-0400 min
UnofficialEpisode 32 - Another ArmadilloHave you taken that improv class you've been putting off for 17 years yet? You know Ed Harris didn't try acting until he was 43, right? I have no idea if that's actually true but I'm pretty sure I overheard someone reading it off the lid of a beverage container in a food court once. My point is, if you like full figured ladies, and you fancy yourself one funny sonofabitch, you should absolutely join that lakeside-seasonal-improvisation-acting-troop and finally make something of yourself. After Coop and Myan's well deserved week off its really time we get back to business. What business? the...2019-04-0100 min
UnofficialEpisode 31 - Coop Cancels Costa Rican Root CanalAlright you got me, Coop's root canal appointment wasn't in Costa Rica but "Mexico" didn't have that alliteration I was looking for. Wow, Coop and Myan are really all over the place this week. It starts out light, Futurama vs. Family Guy, American Dad's alien vs. Rick and Morty's multiverse of aliens, and then the mass shooting tragedy in NZ. Is Myan right, does religion bear some responsibility in the culture of murder that human society has historically woven into its un-bleachable annals or is Coop on point with his thoughts and prayers? Maybe everyone has a point on this...2019-03-2100 min
UnofficialEpisode 30 - Do You Believe in Aliens?If you've ever wondered if aliens exist, today you'll get your answer. You'll also find out why Donald Trump was in Home Alone 2 and why its coming off Myan's Netflix queue. And if that isn't too much to handle you'll also learn about Myan's plan to corner the soda market with his new idea for Schnazz Cola. It has all the caffeine of Jolt, twice the extreme of Surge and more disappointment than Shasta AND Mountain Dew combined! It should be a giant hit with the Tweenennials. "You want it all and you want it right now...SCHNAZZ COLA!!!"

UnofficialEpisode 29 - First Few SecondsOk, you start meditating and I'll take some LSD and we'll see who trips first. Aaaaaand Go!
If you prefer the scenic route to enlightenment then Rufus Philips is your kinda guide...to Positional, 3D Spacial Audio, the future of immersive music production. Pop music is great, who doesn't like a good number one hit single every 14 minutes but some producers want more, they want you to feel the music...with your balls. Not sure Ashley Simpson ever got us there. (Pieces...pieceehhs...pieces uhhv yuuhou) Oof...hey it's not Ashley's fault she has no balls.

UnofficialEpisode 28 - You Suck and You're TerribleHow am I supposed to tip you if your tip jar is invisible? Why did you build a kitchen-stage if there's no food-show? Why would god have given you taste buds if hating olives were in any way acceptable? Why is an 11 year old eating at Maestro's?? Clearly Coop and Myan are obsessed with food and restaurant related oddities this week and rightfully so, don't we all enjoy dining? don't we all somewhat obsess over our own epicurean proclivities? Are we not meant to EAT? Are we not meant to LIVE??!! I truly think Jesus himself would have had a...2019-03-1200 min
UnofficialEpisode 27 - Our Biggest FanIt’s not every day you get to hang out with your biggest fan.(Hot-Ollie) Especially when it’s Leo’s Swedish, stunt-double stand-in. Hey, you look just like Brad Pitt’s Polish, stunt-double stand-in! Why thank you.
If you’re interested in learning about Sweden’s historical landmarks, the fundamental machinations of Swedish juries or why the Swedes have stuck to the kroner instead of converting to euro, this week’s episode of Unofficial is not for you.
If you’re interested in subscribing to Myan‘s theories of sex-cycling and immediate success from intermittent sleep-fasting, Coop’s slope-carving diaper-skiing or Oll...2019-03-0800 min
UnofficialEpisode 26 - Mo Podcast Mo ProblemsThe wind was brisk like the breath of an Inuit. The sky was painted a pale gray in broad strokes. She was wearing her neon Columbia windbreaker, orange, lime and teal. The only app she knew was made of melted cheese and the radio in her used, ‘88 Honda Accord was playing something by Pearl Jam. It was the cusp of the Internet.
Computer labs, floppy disks and not a cell phone in sight. Do you remember the world before the web? Coop and Myan recount scholastic days of yore. Respective perspectives of teenage education and the injustice of contrived authority fi...2019-03-0400 min
UnofficialEpisode 25 - SALAD!!!If your mom gets mad at you because you started smoking a Vape just say, “well at least I didn’t pay two people to pretend to hate-crime me so I could make it in Hollywood.” Clearly your decision making is not the one in question. On the upside, I now know who Jussie Smollett is. And apparently so does Siri, nice work “talk to text.“
Whether it’s $.96 for a gallon of gas or $11.63 for a set of juggling pins, Unofficial will always find you the best deal. Japan or Montana, Ben or Jerry, Apple or actual apples, Coop and Myan cou...2019-02-2600 min

UnofficialEpisode 23 - Mind Your MindMind over matter. Mind your P’s and Q’s. Do you mind? Melissa Edwards, minds. She’s concerned that the colloquial phrases we thoughtlessly utter are limiting our potential, so she wrote a book, Mind Your Words (how idioms shape consciousness) Coop and Myan are buying Melissa‘s book and thus be susceptible to Eckhart Tolle’s corporate, mind-prison takeover, no more. Nice try, Oprah. No longer will Myan be looking forward to his wedding as the best day of his life and Coop will now think twice before uttering “FML“ every time he forgets to invoke the ubiquitous nature of his...2019-02-1600 min

And by "on your own" I mean, with the help of hundreds of talented, driven professionals in all facets of film and music production. Without communities like Starr44 Artists Alliance and collaborative partnerships like Lana n' Anna's, the artistic products that help shape and elevate our global community, would not exist. Uplifting projects like Light On Sunshine, A Rose in the Wall and superstars...2019-02-1100 min
UnofficialEpisode 21 - Riff And RaffAdult responsibility. D'ya hear that? I'm an adult! With the rising prices of LA rent, the crazy taxes that swallow our incomes and the daunting expense of the looming nightmare of parenting, you would think Uber and Lyft would have our backs and maybe keep the collective flatulence to a minimum. Coop and Myan are on the cusp of closing their first season of Unofficial and hate to be the bearer of bad news but it looks like Elvis is dead. Tom Magliozzi of CarTalk is also dead and so is Coop's Saab 9S. "Aren't you a mechanic? Why wouldn't...2019-02-0900 min

Sydney and Samadhi crash J30 studio with a huge, lady-like bang and remind Coop and Myan just how inferior men really are. Just kidding, we're all equal. Totally equal. If you've never heard "mew-mew", never performed your vocal stylings for audiences in LA traffic or ever lied about having a fiancé to avoid a battle of bad body language with Terrance, you should probably devour at least a third of this 90 minute, U...2019-02-0500 min

Hold on…a congested bear is vomiting in my ‘66 Ford F100 which for some reason I can’t rent to Steven Spielberg for his next summer blockbuster because no matter how cool my truck is nobody wants it because it’s RED!!

Unofficial has it all this week, Sydney Sainté and Mikel Farber, both hard working, self promoting artists in LA, join us for our first two-guest show and our first guest without a penis. I already said “girl“ once and I’m saving “vagina“ for later. If you’re not aware, there are people out there making movies for almost nothing, shooting features with iPhones and putting on music festivals with their own money. Art isn’t just Big Hollywood productions and Orson Welles isn’t the only independent filmmaker in town. For the record I think Or...2019-01-2800 min

Start watching ChrisFix on YouTube and trade in those rust buckets for emotionally rewarding, grease-monkey goose-flesh. Apologies to America’s many talented mechanics but “grease-monkey“ sounds hilarious. And apologies to geese, I know “chills” is a far more socially acceptable term. I probably should apologize to monkeys too but seriously, fuck monkeys. Coop and Myan are jazzercised to bring you their first Extra Special Quickie Day Episode. I know, it s...2019-01-2700 min

The time has finally come, the dream is real, Coop and Myan have found a way to productively justify watching 10,000 hours of The Office. Our moms will be so proud. If you think drugs are bad then you haven’t staved off a life-threatening bout of sadness with 25 cc’s of Officillin. I don’t know what cc’s are but I know who CC is and if you got that joke then you are probably an Office...2019-01-2100 min

Great, because there’s lots of roles for the physically unfortunate so find your niche, “guy in corner.” Coop’s really good day in the first world goes south as he plunges Boot-holes-first into one of LA’s infamous muddy puddles. Good thing he brought his 24 hour Hydro flask, chocked full of his mom’s homemade espresso pods, pre-ground in a factory months ago by the hundreds of thousands, just for you. Myan gets his own dose of the Mondays as his first world struggle with his plethora of Apple produ...2019-01-1900 min

What else can you say..? That you'll change your mind on whether to dab or not, that Terpenes and Limonenes can live peacefully side by side, that you'll learn once and for all that the medicinal qualities of THC and CBD are inarguable facts and should be legal for all??
