We ALL have breakup stories right? You lying about it isn't going to make that unfortunate decision go away. Accept it, appreciate the moments that were, embrace the experience and move on right? Well when that's not enough, we got your back. In this special segment the Live Locals crew was invited by Urban Badlands to their Noche De Corazones event at the Echoplex.

Tune in and listen to the funny and not-so-funny stories of the heart-breaker and the heartbroken attendees, along with music from The Altons, The Red Pears, La Chamba and the Steady 45's, live at the Echoplex. Because we all know misery loves company.
