Gary and Shannon close out the show with a packed final hour. Shannon's still pushing for Gary to celebrate the show's 10-year anniversary with a piercing before diving into #WhatsHappening: from TMZ leaking footage of Mark Sanchez's altercation to Dodgers playoff updates, Ghislaine Maxwell's denied appeal, Taylor Swift's record-breaking box-office weekend, and Governor Newsom facing pressure to crack down on SoCal's copper thefts.Then it's #GaSFantasy4Play as the pair review their NFL week 5 picks before pivoting to weather updates on Tropical Storm Jerry and rescue efforts for 200 hikers stranded on Mount Everest. They wrap the hour with a #MotivationMonday clip from Friday Night Lights and an intriguing discussion on “quiet cracking” the new counterpart to quiet quitting.

Gary and Shannon start hour two climbing through the headlines, and they cover the more than 200 hikers stranded amid a blizzard on Mount Everest. They then pivot to a Deputy White House advisor's leaked texts suggesting the 82nd Airborne should be deployed to Portland, though Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth prefers the National Guard. From global tension to local luxury, they unpack the LA Times feature on the “Bunker Mirage,” a lavish underground playground for SoCal's ultra-rich.Later, they spotlight the soon-to-open Hard Rock Casino Tejon, boasting a gaming floor larger than Caesars Palace. And then things get personal when Gary overshares about his morning shower and the bathroom window before shifting to the night sky's super moon and the hypnotic scroll of TikTok.The hour wraps with KLAC's Fred Roggin joining the show to weigh in on the Mark Sanchez assault case, questioning if the former QB's broadcasting career can survive the fallout.

A trunk ride with Billy Gibbons, a pair of “blessed” boots, and the moment a lyric became a band name—this one has stories. We sit down with American Mile's Eugene Rice for a fast, funny, and unfiltered tour through the making of a modern Southern rock band built on grit, harmony, and a never-quit work ethic. From a Vermont town of 1,500 to SoCal stages, Eugene traces the path: sleeping in rehearsal spaces, selling a bike to buy an RV, and logging 200+ dates a year—often in four-hour marathons that would break most bands. He breaks down how “American Mile” emerged mid-take with producer Keith Nelson (Buckcherry), why a bison ended up on the merch table, and how thrift-store scarves became a signature stage move that also solved the hated-iPad problem.We get into sound and influence—Allman Brothers and Skynyrd bones with modern threads from The Black Crowes and Blackberry Smoke. Eugene spotlights the B3 and harmony vocals as secret sauce, plus the rotating “fifth member” who steps in for showcases. Then it gets practical: the economics of LA gigs, the reality of casino anchors, and why a vintage guitar day job keeps the dream alive and the tone honest. He opens the hood on the business too—band democracy, equal pay, and a vesting path to ownership that rewards the grind—while telling road-war stories about blown control arms, stolen catalytic converters, and welding fixes that saved shows.Underneath the laughs and lore sits a clear message: the American dream is still there if you work for it. Mentors matter. Systems matter. Saying yes matters. If you're building a band, a creative career, or any longshot, you'll leave with playbook-level tactics and renewed fight.

“Why would a man with a dream life and a booming business empire want to grind it out in a Major League dugout?”In this compelling and insider-packed episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive into a surprising twist in the MLB world: the Los Angeles Angels are reportedly eyeing three former players as potential managers—including two Rollertown Beerworks investors and close friends of the show, Michael Young and Torii Hunter.The crew breaks down the buzz around the Angels' managerial vacancy, sparked by a tweet from MLB insider Bob Nightengale. While Michael Young seems unlikely to leave his idyllic SoCal lifestyle, Torii Hunter's name carries real weight—and real intrigue.“Torii Hunter is one of the greatest leaders I've ever seen in my life. He controls a room. Everyone who knows him loves him, respects him, and follows him.” — SkinFrom watching the Rangers clinch the World Series with Torii at Rollertown, to discussing his deep ties with the Angels and his role as honorary chairman of the upcoming Rollertown Open golf tournament, the hosts paint a vivid picture of a man who could absolutely lead a clubhouse—if he's willing to walk away from his already incredible life.

Italians are known for their vibrant culture worldwide, and when I hear the term, "it takes a village," I think of Vicky Colarossi Carabini, a woman who serves as her own village promoting Italian culture throughout Southern California. Please give a warm welcome to Vicky as one of our featured guests for Italian Heritage Month. Since 2007, Vicky Carabini has served as Ambassador to San Juan Capistrano's Sister City, Capestrano, Italy. She is Chair of the Italian Studies Council and Board Member of the Ferrucci Institute at Chapman University, which has one of the most active Italian Studies programs in the country. Vicky is also Regional VP for the National Italian American Foundation, aka NIAF, which promotes Italian heritage at its highest level through programs based out of D.C., and she's working hard to ensure California has a large presence within the organization. Vicky is also forever hosting fundraisers, Italian film nights, parades and food drives to keep the Italian community actively involved in Orange County where she lives. And if you're looking for something to do, check out her newsletter that keeps So Cal peeps informed on all things Italian. Why does this all matter? Because to keep our culture, or any culture alive and active within a community, it requires committed involvement, and that's Vicky. In 2003, Vicky and her husband, Michael, purchased a farmhouse in southern Tuscany and have been producing olive oil ever since. She and her family have since attained Italian citizenship and are now residents of Sarteano, where the farmhouse is located. In recognition of her work in 2020, Silvia Chiave, then Consul General of Italy in Los Angeles, knighted Vicky Cavaliere dell'Ordine della Stella d'Italia (Knight of the Order of the Star of Italy) on behalf of Italian President Sergio Mattarella. This honor is one of Italy's highest recognitions for Italians abroad and is awarded to those who distinguish themselves through philanthropy, cultural advocacy, research, and strengthening international ties. Bravo, Vicky! The world is such a complicated place, and the more we give and get involved in our communities, the better place it will be. Being of Italian heritage myself, I wanted to open this discussion with Vicky about how we can all be better stewards to our heritage and community, and we'll talk about that. Please welcome Vicky Colarossi Carabini on all video and audio platforms of #LittleItalyPodcast, #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast, and #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here. @mammabini #italians #italianamerican #italianculture

They also explore the potential power of whoever pushes AI innovation the furthest.

Yes!  You are in!  Thank you for sharing when worthy.  We'll see how this one stacks up.  Did you know you are a surfer?  Ok, maybe you've never touched the ocean.  You are absolutely surfing waves called life.  Some waves can be thrills of a lifetime.  Some waves can wreck you, destroy relationships and even you.  Here you go...Thank you Pastor Rick Warren, Daily Hope and Saddleback Church.  I start off almost every day with Daily Hope.  How about you?  Do you start your day with something uplifting and strengthening or the news or Fakebook or Instabrag?When I have my A game.  I start the day in the Word, prayer and iron sharpens iron listens.  Oh, to hear more on that one, please click below...https://www.pastorrick.com/current-teaching/series/a-toolbox-for-life-2025?view=learning-to-be-both-fast-and-slow---part-1So I do call SoCal home.  I do surf.  And that's when the vision came to me.  To catch waves you need intention.  You need to train.  You best take some lessons.  Better yet, you go with a pack so you can keep an eye on each other.  When it comes to Life Planning, that's how GCrossSurf was born.  My wife still thinks we should rebrand and maybe we do.  What was fun to learn that Pastor Rick and team also use waves for teaching.  I love affirmations.  I had no idea.  First time I ever heard him mention waves.  And I pretty much listen to him 5 out of 7 days per week.  Anyway, smarty pants out there will say you can create waves behind a wakesurf boat or wave pool.  Yet that isn't what Pastor Rick was teaching on.  In life, you hop into the ocean called this broken planet.   And you have to ride with what God gifts you and also what this broken planet will serve up.  If we could all just create our own destinies then we would all be Michael Jordans or Lebron James or Taylor Swifts or Lord knows what.  The woman at the well had waves of failed relationships.  Check John 4.  Joseph's brothers threw him into a pit to die.  Genesis 37.  Daniel was enslaved by Babylonia.  Check the book of Daniel.  Moses thought he was leading his people out of slavery in Egypt and ended up enslaving themselves in the desert. Check Exodus.  And we can go on and on.  Some fair, some deserved, some definitely not deserved, all crappy waves that eventually turn into beautiful surf of life...for those that love and seek Him.  Rom 8:28Odds are you are in crappy surf right now.  Maybe you are in the best surf of your life.  Ok, enjoy it while it lasts.  Give God thanks.  Yet for those in crappier surf, learning to be content (not happy) content (big difference) shows your might faith and strength.  Knowing that Rom 8:28 waves are going to pay...someday is mighty Faith.So if so inspired, hit us up at FriDudes.com and we'll give you a free GCrossSurf workbook.  Planning and riding the most important waves of life.  If you are tech savvy, we'll even give you early access to the beta web app.  For it needs some lovin and shapin.  Ending on a prayer note...  

Louie & Barry are back with another rendition of SoCal Saturdays!5 graded stakes await bettors - good luck!

"U Lo" talks about his path in the industry from mechanic for FC Honda, Moto XXX, factory Honda, winning a title with Travis Preston and then onto JGR as the motor guy, all the riders he's worked for and what happened with them. We get into his roots from New Jersey, moving in and out of SoCal, industry talk and much more.

Edward (26) and Myi (27) went from hanging door flyers and delivering pies in high school to owning two Pizza Guys franchises in California's Inland Empire. They share how a decade of on-the-line learning beat any business textbook, why the right partner matters, and what it took to pioneer a NorCal brand in SoCal—leases, permits, delays, and all. They dig into California's new $20/hr fast-food wage, how corporate support and smarter deals helped them steady sales, and the community-first tactics that keep customers coming back. Above all, they're building a culture by doing the hardest jobs themselves, mentoring their crew, and taking calculated risks—not lottery-ticket ones.5–7 Key Takeaways From door hangers to owners: Starting at the bottom gave them credibility with their team and an operator's eye for the details that matter. Choose partners wisely: Drop the ego, communicate, and make decisions together—partnerships thrive on humility and trust. Calculated risk > blind risk: College can teach frameworks, but entrepreneurship is learned by doing; fail, adjust, repeat. Expansion is logistics, not just vision: GC delays, city permits, and rent during buildouts can crush timelines and cash—second-gen spaces can save ~$100–250K. Franchise leverage helps: Brand, ops support, and rapid promo pivots (e.g., after the $20/hr wage hit) can stabilize traffic when conditions change. Community beats coupons: Little gestures (a free ranch, knowing names) build word-of-mouth and event turnout in a non-tourist market. Lead by example: Owners doing the least desirable tasks set the standard; that's how you create consistent service and product quality.

If you're looking for someone who blends the heart of a community advocate, the mind of a marketing strategist, and the soul of an 80s music lover—you've found her. Brandy Alvarado-Miranda isn't just a name in the AV world—she's a force of nature. When she's not courtside cheering on her kid's basketball game (or the Lakers & Sparks), you'll find her chasing waves at the beach, getting her hands dirty in the garden, or spoiling her adorable pug and corgi duo. A true SoCal spirit, she lives for tacos, margaritas, and the synth beats of Depeche Mode—preferably all at once. Brandy dove into the AV industry in 2014 and never looked back. After gaining experience across engineering, manufacturing, and themed integration, she made the bold leap during the pandemic—launching BAM! Marketing & PR Agency in 2021. Since then, she's helped dozens of Pro AV and Digital Signage brands find their voice and amplify it across the industry with strategic branding, impactful content, and fearless creativity. She's dubbed her clients her #BAMily, and has created an ecosystem that not only connects them to work on projects together, but to team up to network. But Brandy doesn't stop at business. She's a passionate advocate for women in tech, founding WAVIT in 2023—a nonprofit dedicated to uplifting women in AV/IT. From her leadership with the AVIXA Women's Council to her mentorship and advisory roles, Brandy is determined to leave the AV industry better, stronger, and more inclusive than she found it. With titles like Woman of the Year in AV, Pro AV Watch Lister, AV Living Legend, and DSE Advisory Board Member, her accolades are impressive—but her mission is simple: to empower others, create meaningful change, and rock out to some 80s jams while doing it. Brandy Alvarado-Miranda: marketing superhero, AV trailblazer, taco connoisseur, and always tuned to WII-FM—What's In It For the Mission. -- Critical Mass Business Talk Show is Orange County, CA's longest-running business talk show, focused on offering value and insight to middle-market business leaders in the OC and beyond.

In this episode, Erik sits down with Matt (@foil.me.harder) for a deep dive into the state of foiling—four years since their last conversation. They talk candidly about the real costs of chasing progression, the gear that changed everything, and why some classics still hold up today. Matt breaks down how wind actually becomes the bumps we ride, shares practical forecasting tips, and reflects on how downwind has evolved into a true “infinite game.” They also touch on foil-drive, the shifting sponsorship landscape, and an upcoming SoCal race. It's equal parts stoke, science, and honest perspective on where the sport is headed.
