Bobby Green of 1933 Group is responsible for an L.A. Renaissance, saving historic business and returning them to their former glory.

This is a joyful trip around Los Angeles with one do the most important caretakers of Classic L.A.

*Disclaimer: Mature Content* L.A. hip hop's new golden era is being ushered in by Coyote ("The Yotes"), who are embracing Hawthorne, Lennox, & all of L.A. While catapulting the West Coast sound to new heights. I've been wanting to have Ladies Love Guapo & Ricky Blanco on the show for a while, and after their newest albu, L.Aliens, dropped featuring B-Real, Mario Lopez, & Shaquille O'Neal, it was clear the Yotes were ready to put the world on notice. Live in studio, Coyote!!!

The L.A. Times continues its downward spiral toward irrelevance by refusing to endorse a Presidential candidate in what their own editorial board calls "the most consequential election in a generation." The once-proud paper that stood as a beacon for Los Angeles since the 1880s is now simply waving the white flag and inching closer & closer to their demise.

Iconic San Pedro Fish Market is one of Los Angeles legendary locals now being run by the third-generation family. I do a one-on-one sit down with Michael Ungaro to discuss the legacy of the Fish Market, what it means for L.A and what the future holds. We also get into Kings of Fi$h a documentary being featured on Amazon Prime.

The Industry figures are eye-popping: 16.1% unemployment, film days in L.A. are down 33% from the 5-year average. Hollywood is in the middle of a stunning collapse, and L.A. needs a strong Hollywood to be at its best. To avoid Hollywood turning into the "Next Detroit," and losing out to the "New L.A." (Las Vegas), what can be done to save The Industry?!? I discuss here, and I need your feedback.
