The wind ripped through Stagecoach last night, leading to an evacuation of the polo grounds. Some people are pissed because they left... right before they started the show back up with Pitbull.

Hour 1 - Coachella is still going strong! The latest is on Justin Bieber’s hit-filled, stripped-down festival performance, during which he performed a video duet — with himself.  The festival charges $12.50 for a slice of pizza on the festival grounds, and some VRBO rentals have been unearthed for ripping off punters, meting out last-minute cancelations to charge 10 times the advertise...

Hour 2 - Would you trespass private property to assist an animal or pet in distress? According to the ASPCA, you shouldn’t. But heroic Lou Penrose has other ideas, which prompted him to save a neighborhood dog’s life from a strangling incident. When Lou managed to get animal control to the neighbor's home, the officer was not happy with the neglectful dog owner, who was at home but una...

Hour 3 - New cellphone etiquette rules are in. For Gen Z, it’s now rude to not give a heads-up text about an incoming phone call you’re planning because it gives the receiver anxiety. And forget about voicemails; they’re now considered outdated, so don’t even bother leaving one. California’s gubernatorial race is getting fascinating with the latest controversy surroun...

Hour 1 -  Was there a word you grew up mispronouncing within your family that has stuck all these years — like “bisgetti”? Or “toosepase”? How about “flutterbye”? And “ephelant”? There are so many! What's your bisghetti? It turns out that every family has one! Never go back on your said! Meanwhile, “libairy,&rdquo...

Hour 2 - iHeartRadio Music Awards honored singer John Mellencamp with the Icon Award! He’s been popping out hits for close to 50 years. Mellencamp’s first hit was actually made famous by another artist. “I Need a Lover” was covered by singer Pat Benatar in 1979, after Mellencamp put it on his second album “A Biography.”  In-N-Out now has a pet-friendly burger ca...

Hour 3 - The dress code fight has moved from the airport to the restaurant! Ruths Chris has implemented a dress code for its steakhouse patrons, including no gym wear, no caps and no exposed undergarments.

Hour 1 - Use-and-return shoppers are people who purchase and use the thing maybe one time, then return it. It’s getting out of control, with 39% of shoppers participating in the rude ruse — This includes kitchen utensils and tennis shoes! Now, retailers are tightening return policies and set to charge a fee. Do restaurants and retailers factor in use-and-return to their price increases...

Hour 3 - To more on TSA and the painfully long lines, repurposing federal workers to fill that need will likely cause even more issues. The CEO of Costco, Ron Vachris, has made a statement about the cost of the Costco hotdog. He said the $1.50 price will not change as long as he’s around. Amen to that! Not only is Costco kicking ass in the hot dog world, but it’s also set to open a mas...

Hour 1 - No one is working from the beach! On Friday, due to the SoCal winter heatwave we’re presently experiencing, around 100 Angelinos took the day off in-office work, brought their laptops to the beach (and some people even brought their desks), and worked remotely. It's no longer a thing to go to the beach to cool off when the mercury spikes — that’s what people did in the 1...

Hour 2 -  More to Lou’s 6th-grade son who was punished at school. His crime?

A piece of trash hit one of Lou Jr.’s female classmates, she got upset, and Lou Jr. got a month’s worth of punishment.&nb...

Hour 3 - Campbell's Soup has come out this past week to say no-one is buying snacks anymore. Sales of Pepperidge Farm cookies and Goldfish crackers are also down. Are Trump’s tariffs to blame? You know what won’t help? The rising price of fuel. Meantime, McDonald’s is going in the opposite direction with the $3 menu. While snack-food spending and alcohol spending is down, people...

And it’s severely impacting the price of gas in the US. The average price went up 40 cents within a week. So why are they blowing up oil fields? The Los Angeles basin is no longer filled with smog, despite more vehicles on the road. It’s due to technology, filtering, and fuel efficiency. Why doesn’t an oil-rich state like California produce more gas and oil? Daylight Savings: Sho...
