Nick continues with a discussion on awards shows. Why are fewer people watching every year, do they need to be overhauled and are people turned off because only a select few shows win the vast majority of the awards.

Marc Kapetan joins The CGP for the first time. We can call his appearance, "So two Greeks walk into a studio, one says to the other....." Marc explains in the first segment what drew him to being a lawyer, theatrics in a courtroom and what happens when a jury isn't buying what he's selling

Continuing with Marc, he explains what's harder for him: Preparing a case, rehearsing for the bands he's in or preparing to host his KMJ program. Also, when a long case concludes how hard is it to "clean" it completely out of his system and move forward, would he give everything up to do a national tour with a band and for a guy doing so much what, exactly, does he get from doing talk radio.

Kopi Sotiropulos is the longtime anchor and weatherman for Great Day on Fox 26. He is as popular and well-known throughout Fresno and the Central Valley as Derek Carr... if not more so. Kopi joined me to talk about the upcoming Greek Fest, this year (and all future years) moved to September. We also talked Greek pastries and how you make several popular ones.
