It's a jam-packed episode of the Kern County Real Estate Review! Laurie McCarty and her team spotlight standout Bakersfield properties while breaking down the latest housing headlines every homeowner should know. Tune in for a clear look at local market trends from The Crabtree Report, insights on California's proposed FAIR Plan insurance rate hike, and what a new state law means for landlords and tenants when it comes to providing appliances.Whether you're a buyer, seller, or homeowner wanting to stay informed, this episode offers practical advice, real-world context, and a showcase of homes that capture the best of Kern County living.

Whitey and Dan are back in the saddle for another dive into Arnold Schwarzenegger's golden era with their The Running Man (1987) Review, a dystopian action flick that predicted the rise of reality TV and the cult of celebrity with eerie accuracy. It's big, it's loud, it's absurdly 80s, and the boys are here for every neon-lit minute of it.Released in the same year as Predator, The Running Man often sits in Arnie's shadow catalogue, but this week Whitey and Dan make the case that it deserves far more love. The film, adapted from a Stephen King novel (written under the pseudonym Richard Bachman), throws viewers into a violent future where convicted criminals fight for survival on a televised game show, because nothing says prime-time entertainment like watching people get chainsawed on live TV.From the opening massacre in Bakersfield to Ben Richards' first "I'll be back" moment, Whitey and Dan take listeners on a nostalgia-soaked journey through the blood, the banter, and the bad outfits. They break down the stalkers, Buzzsaw, Sub-Zero, Fireball, Dynamo, and Captain Freedom and debate which death scene gets the best (and most ridiculous) send-off. Spoiler: chainsaws and balls don't mix.Along the way, the boys give Richard Dawson his due credit as Damon Killian, the sleaziest game show host since, well, himself. As Whitey points out, Dawson essentially plays an exaggerated version of his Family Feud persona, a charismatic creep who can charm the crowd while stabbing them in the back. Dan draws parallels between modern-day media culture and the movie's grim predictions of audience addiction, fake news, and manufactured heroes, which feel alarmingly close to home.There's plenty of banter too: stories about watching the film with their kids, reminiscing about the VHS days, and of course, a classic tangent on Australian childhoods versus American movie myths. Whitey marvels at Arnie's physical prime, the perfect blend of muscle and movie-star charm, while Dan compares the Austrian Oak's 1987 aesthetic to "a bag of walnuts, Arnie" in Predator. They even give props to the underrated soundtrack by Harold Faltermeyer and the bold (if slightly confusing) set design that feels part Blade Runner, part Rollerball fever dream.The Film School for F-Wits segment delves into dystopian cinema, with Dan running through ten classics that share DNA with The Running Man, including Demolition Man, Gattaca, Children of Men, and 1984. Expect tangents, trivia, and typical Morgs-level shade directed at absent co-hosts.As always, the boys bring the laughs with The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. The good? Arnie's comedic timing and Richard Dawson's deliciously slimy performance. The bad? The script's dodgy one-liners, including the immortal “Subzero… now plain zero." The ugly? The shiny Lycra jumpsuits that make everyone look like they've escaped from a Eurovision rehearsal.It's vintage Born to Watch: irreverent, nostalgic, and filled with 80s love. Whether you're an Arnie completist or just here for the banter, this episode proves that The Running Man still runs circles around most modern action flicks.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONShould The Running Man be ranked among Arnie's all-time classics? Did this 1987 gem actually predict the rise of reality TV? Is Richard Dawson the sleaziest game show host in movie history?Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or at BornToWatch.com.au#TheRunningMan1987Review #BornToWatch #ArnoldSchwarzenegger #80sAction #SciFiClassic #MoviePodcast #FilmReview #StephenKing #DystopianMovies #CultCinema

Episode 205: Atopic Dermatitis Kara Willbanks (medical student) explains the definition, pathophysiology, and treatment of eczema. Dr. Arreaza adds some input about bleach baths and topical steroids. Written by Kara Willbanks, MSIV, American University of the Caribbean. Comments and edits by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.October is the Eczema Awareness Month!What Is Atopic Dermatitis? Atopic dermatitis, a form of eczema, is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disorder that often begins in childhood but can affect people of all ages. Other eczematous dermatoses include seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, juvenile plantar dermatosis, and stasis dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common skin conditions in the developed world, typically affecting up to 20% of children and 5-10% of adults. Patients usually present with severe pruritus (itchiness) and dry, inflamed patches of skin. Common sites include the face and extensor surfaces in infants, and flexural areas — like the elbows and knees — in older children and adults. Atopic dermatitis is often associated with other allergic conditions like asthma and allergic rhinitis — what we call the “atopic triad.” These conditions should also be considered when diagnosing someone with atopic dermatitis. PathophysiologyAtopic dermatitis is believed to occur due to a combination of genetic, immune, and environmental factors. A major component is a defective skin barrier, often linked to mutations in the filaggrin gene. This allows irritants, allergens, and microbes to penetrate the skin more easily, triggering inflammation.Differential DiagnosisAtopic dermatitis can sometimes mimic other skin conditions, so it's important to keep a differential in mind: -Contact dermatitis – triggered by allergens or irritants; often limited to the area of exposure but also tends to be very itchy. -Seborrheic dermatitis – greasy scales, typically on the scalp, eyebrows, and nasolabial folds -Psoriasis – well-demarcated plaques with silvery scales; sometimes found in similar areas of the body as eczema. -Tinea (fungal infections) – ring-shaped lesions with active, scaly borders -Important to note that treatment of tinea with topical steroids can make the rash much worse. -Scabies – intense itching, especially at night, with burrows between fingers. Ruling out these conditions helps guide the right treatment and prevent chronic mismanagement. As a recap our main differential diagnosis: contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, tinea, and scabies.The treatment cornerstone: Moisturizers The most important daily treatment for atopic dermatitis is regular moisturizing. Moisturizers repair the skin barrier, reduce water loss, and protect against irritants. They should be applied at least twice daily, ideally right after bathing while the skin is still damp (within 3 minutes is most ideal). Use greasy ointments or thick creams rather than lotions — think products with ceramides or glycerin (hydrates and protects skin). It is best to choose ointments or creams without additives, perfumes or fragrances. Greasier ointments are the preferred vessel; however, patient compliance may be less as they may be unpleasant to some.Bleach Baths For patients with frequent skin infections or severe eczema, dilute bleach baths can be a game-changer. How to do it? Use ¼ to ½ cup of household bleach in a full standard bathtub of water (about 40 gallons) and soak for 10 minutes, twice a week. This helps reduce bacterial colonization — particularly Staphylococcus aureus — which commonly worsens eczema. After the bath, pat the skin dry and immediately apply a moisturizer (within 3 minutes). Bleach baths are endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Dermatology as an adjunctive treatment for atopic dermatitis, especially in patients with moderate to severe disease and frequent bacterial infections, but the evidence for their efficacy is mixed, and further well-designed studies are needed.Medical Treatments-Topical corticosteroids: When moisturizers alone aren't enough, we move to anti-inflammatory therapy. Topical corticosteroids are the first-line treatment for flares. Some studies suggest that a short burst of a high-potency topical corticosteroid to rapidly control active disease, followed by a quick taper in potency, is most effective, whereas others use the lowest-potency agent thought to be needed and adjust upward only if this fails. Common steroids used are hydrocortisone (low potency), triamcinolone (medium potency), or betamethasone (high potency). -High-potency steroids should never be applied to sensitive skin like the face. With short-term use of lower-potency steroids, there is a low likelihood of skin atrophy but use for more than 6 months is linked with greater levels of skin thinning -Wet wrap therapy: Wet wrap therapy improves absorption of topic steroid. Apply a topical steroid, then layer a wet dressing and then a dry dressing over the top of that. This can be beneficial in providing  both relief of symptoms and prevention of itching. In pediatric patients it is called “daddy's socks therapy” because large socks may be used to cover the arms of kids.-Topical calcineurin inhibitors — like tacrolimus — are great alternatives for sensitive areas or for maintenance once inflammation is under control. They may burn upon application which can scare patients away from their use.-PO antihistamines can help with itching, especially at night, but they don't treat inflammation itself.-Systemic therapies, like dupilumab (Dupixent®), an IL-4 receptor antagonist, are reserved for moderate to severe cases unresponsive to topical therapy. This is a great time to refer to your local dermatologist for management! Many of the newer treatments are highly effective but can require more frequent monitoring.Recent Research One recent study is the 2024 Cochrane network meta-analysis comparing effectiveness of topical anti-inflammatory treatments for eczema that was recently published in the AFP Journal in July of 2025.Here are the highlights:-Over 291 RCTs with ~45,846 participants were included. -The analysis ranked potent topical corticosteroids, JAK inhibitors (for example ruxolitinib (Opzelura® 1.5 %), and tacrolimus 0.1 % among the most effective for reducing signs and symptoms of eczema. -In contrast, PDE-4 inhibitors [like crisaborole (Eucrisa®) 2 %] were among the least effective in this comparison. -Regarding side effects: tacrolimus and crisaborole were more likely to cause burning or stinging at the application site; corticosteroids were less likely in the short term to cause local irritation.-Long-term outcomes regarding effectiveness or safety of treatments for eczema were not addressed by the review because they are rarely reported.”-Another insight from this study is considering cost when initiating treatment. Most topical steroids are significantly more cost effective than JAK inhibitors or calcineurin inhibitors so it may be best to start with a cheaper solution in an uninsured patient considering their relative effectiveness. Additional Tips & Lifestyle -Keep baths and showers short and in lukewarm water.-Avoid harsh soaps and detergents — use gentle, fragrance-free cleansers.-Wear soft cotton clothing instead of wool or synthetics.-Identify and avoid triggers — common ones include stress, sweating, allergens, and certain foods (especially in kids).-Ice packs can help reduce itching and relieve any burning sensation.-Keep fingernails short, especially in children, help cause less trauma to the skin from repeated itching. Living with eczema Many celebrities like Kerry Washington, Jessica Simpson, Kelly Rowland, Brad Pitt and Kristen Bell have spoken out about their lives with eczema. They have shared personal stories about how they were diagnosed, what treatment works for them, and the general impact it has had on their lives and mental health. I feel like it can be so important for celebrities to speak out about their lives with certain conditions because it helps to normalize the condition, raise awareness of the struggles, and encourages more open dialogue.It is important to remember that for patients living with eczema, the persistent itch-scratch cycle can be very distressing, causing patients to struggle with their sleep and day-to-day activities. Anxiety and depression are common in patients with eczema so as physicians it is vital to monitor for signs of distress. Support groups can be incredibly helpful for patients [National Eczema Association]If you are interested in providing additional information to your patients or getting this for yourself, you can find more resources on altogethereczema.org or nationaleczema.org. Key Takeaways Atopic dermatitis is chronic but manageable. Moisturizers are the foundation of treatment. Topical steroids and calcineurin inhibitors control inflammation. Bleach baths help reduce bacterial load and flare severity. Always rule out other skin conditions to ensure appropriate management. Atopic dermatitis can be managed by the primary care physician but in certain cases (cases refractory to standard topical treatment, recurrent infections, etc.), a referral to dermatology can be especially helpful.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Welcome to HALO Talks! In today's episode, host Pete Moore sits down with Rick Dennis, Co-Founder of Bakersfield's Body Xchange and a definite "OG" in the HALO sector. With over 30 years of experience—including a storied career at Family Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, and launching successful clubs with longtime partner John Ovanessian—Rick shares insights on evolving gym models, member experience, and responding to changing trends. Rick and Pete chat about how Body Xchange became a place “where everybody trains,” adapting to the post-COVID demand for more strength training, flexible facilities, and self-guided workouts. Rick opens up about the importance of listening to your local community, running a tight operation with zero leverage, and the unique advantages of local ownership in a burgeoning market like Bakersfield, CA.  Pete and Rick also chat about future growth—both for Body Xchange and the Bakersfield area itself—as well as reflections on how today's athletes are changing the game in high school sports and beyond. Listen now for a conversation packed with industry wisdom and practical takeaways for fitness professionals (and enthusiasts!) On the "power" of staying debt-free Dennis states, "We're definitely not a leveraged company. I think that's something that's really important to understand because as you mentioned, with 24 Hour Fitness, once you get leveraged then there's restrictions to that. We've never had those kinds of restrictions because of the foundation and how we built it." Key themes discussed Evolution of Body Xchange and their club model. Shift toward strength training post-COVID. Local market dynamics and growth in Bakersfield. Importance of a debt-free, reinvestment-focused business. Personal touch of local ownership versus national chains. Future expansion opportunities in nearby cities. A Few Key Takeaways:  1. Evolution of Member Experience & Strength Focus: Rick highlighted how their business model has shifted post-COVID, with a significant pivot towards strength training and member-driven use of space. Recognizing the growing interest in free weights and Olympic lifting, they repurposed areas like group fitness rooms to fit more strength equipment, reflecting the changing fitness trends among younger demographics. 2. Deep Local Roots & Smart Growth: The Bakersfield market is robust and expanding, with affordable housing attracting a young population. Rick emphasized how their deep local knowledge allows them to strategically backfill old locations and position themselves in growth corridors, staying ahead of national chains and big box gyms. 3. Debt-Free, Locally-Owned, and Well-Maintained Clubs: Rick and John built Body Xchange with a focus on being debt-free and maintaining strong local ownership. This approach means they can swiftly reinvest in facilities, ensure equipment is always up to par, and maintain a high-touch presence—reasons why members prefer their facilities over less locally involved national chains. 4. Adaptable Operational Strategy: Body Xchange made a post-COVID decision to pause personal training, acknowledging a shift toward self-guided, technology-driven workouts. Rick notes they still onboard members and provide guidance, and could easily reboot personal training if the right talent emerges. 5. Expansion Opportunities & Local Demographics: Looking ahead, Rick sees potential for 2–3 more locations within Bakersfield and more expansion into comparable communities like Palmdale and Lancaster, as well as midsized cities between Bakersfield and Fresno or west along the Central Coast. He stressed their ability to replicate the Body Xchange DNA by maintaining control over real estate and ensuring each new club matches the model's culture and values.

The October 21 edition of the AgNet News Hour featured Todd Snider, the newly elected president of the Kern County Farm Bureau, in a wide-ranging interview that captured the passion, perspective, and urgency driving California agriculture today. Snider, a lifelong Bakersfield resident and former national champion mountain biker, brings competitive energy to his new role. A crop insurance professional with deep roots in the community, he said his goal is to protect and promote the future of farming in one of the most productive regions in the world. “It's an honor to lead the Kern County Farm Bureau,” Snider said. “We feed the world from right here, and it's time Sacramento and Washington remember that.” Kern County is the second-largest ag-producing county in the nation, and Snider said the Farm Bureau's mission is clear — to defend agriculture against overregulation, labor challenges, and water shortages. “Farmers are producing more with less — less land, less water, more cost — and yet we're still feeding millions,” he said. “People have forgotten the labor, risk, and science it takes to grow food. We have to tell our story better.” Snider emphasized the Farm Bureau's expanding educational programs that introduce local schoolchildren to farming through Farm Days and FFA partnerships. “Kids think food comes from a grocery store,” he said. “When they visit the farm, they realize agriculture isn't just tractors and dirt — it's drones, computers, and science.” He also highlighted opportunities in modern ag careers, from data technology to accounting. “You don't have to have dirty boots to be in agriculture,” he said. On policy, Snider was blunt about Proposition 50, warning it would “destroy rural representation” by allowing redistricting power to shift to political insiders. “Voters need to do their research,” he said. “If this passes, rural California will lose its voice — and that's devastating for agriculture.” He also spoke passionately about California's water crisis, calling it “a man-made problem.” “Growers pay for 100% of their water and only get 50%,” he said. “Then in wet years, they're asked to buy the rest at a premium. Imagine what this valley would look like if we actually delivered 100% of what farmers are already paying for.” The result, he said, is 27,000 acres of almonds and grapes now fallowed in Kern County alone. “Water means jobs,” he warned. “Without it, our communities will shrink, our schools will suffer, and our economy will collapse.” Despite the challenges, Snider expressed optimism and pride in the resilience of California's farmers. “We've weathered droughts, recessions, and regulations,” he said. “Farmers are problem-solvers — we'll find a way forward, but we need leaders who understand agriculture, not just politics.” The interview closed with Snider's call for unity across county lines: “We don't just want Kern County to succeed — we want Tulare, Fresno, and the entire Central Valley to thrive. When one of us grows stronger, all of California agriculture does.”

Send Robert a Text! Nearly a decade before the murder that would shock Bakersfield, Dennis Weis had been convicted in Illinois for a brutal sexual assault against an ex-girlfriend who tried to leave him. By the mid-1980s, he'd quietly resettled in Bakersfield, where his charm and attention drew in a young mother named Cindy Carr — a woman trying to rebuild her life after a broken marriage. What began as companionship soon spiraled into control, jealousy, and, finally, deadly rage. Click Here to purchase the 2025 Halloween Tour: https://2025halloween.supercast.com/***SUBSCRIBE HERE*** For only $4 per month, you can Subscribe to Notorious Bakersfield to get access to the entire back catalog of episodes.

Hot on the heels of our last episode, today we welcome back to the studio the inimitable Kurt Crucial and Rich Wilson for the thrilling conclusion of our two-part series on Kurt's comprehensive The Search For Animal Chin Filming Locations video! From here, the BBAS crew ventures to the site of a fictional Las Vegas nightclub (located inside what is essentially an enclosed Southern California patio) and down some winding desert roads to a field outside the equally-fictional town of Guadeloupe where the monolithic Chin Ramp once stood, however briefly. Is the entrance to the Blue Tile Lounge now a small unisex restroom? Does “x” still mark the spot? Is 800 really Bakersfield?

On October 12th, 2020, Bakersfield police responded to a hospital on a domestic violence call to a female who had been hit in the head with a hammer by her ex-husband. When patrol officers arrived at the suspect's house, the male suspect exited the home, screaming at police and threw an improvised explosive device at officers. Negotiations with the suspect began, who initially appeared to be negotiating in good faith, But after two hours, it became apparent the suspect was not going to comply, and the Bakersfield Special Operations Group was activated. In the ensuing 12 -hour standoff, the team became aware that the suspect had his four-year-old son with him and was an Army combat veteran who had explosive devices in the home. With me today are Captain Ted King and Sergeant Travis Harless from Bakersfield Police to discuss the case.
