On this episode for August 17th, 2026, we track the new leadership at the Angeles National Forest under Jamahl Butler, dodge the latest 210 freeway construction nightmares, and navigate the \"hunger games\" of Upland Unified school registration week. From felony weapon charges and the culinary mysteries of \"Hot Legs\" at The Heights to the solar power upgrades at local apartments, we cover the daily absurdity of life in the Inland Empire with just enough irony to keep the 97-degree heat at bay. Whether you're braving a late-night \"brunch rodeo,\" a catfish derby, or a science-themed puppet musical, tune in for a balanced, witty look at the headlines that define our concrete heat-trap of a home.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/zqugjGLD6iS_VjNqlc5aVa8HWePqX8SwO0L4Hw734mU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jMWUy/YTgxMjg0NjA5ZjE3/ZTMyNGE2NzY1YzY2/YzkxOS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
