Welcome back to another episode of The Juice.

I'm your host, Solomon Giorgio, comedian, writer, and someone that has been kicked out of

a taping of When Ben Signs Money.

Today's guest is a longtime journalist and radio host who's spilling his own juicy

cup of tea as host, a Volta's new hit

I want to trust other people? That's not how that works. Exactly. We're not doing that.

That's not how it works. I don't even trust myself to come back. I go, I get manicures. I have a really good place back in Texas. So I am in L.A., but during pandemic, I spent a good six months back home in San Antonio.

And one of my little weekly treats to myself was to go get a pedicure from really, like, one of the best places I've ever had one in my life.

And I've been gone because I moved back to L.A., but I was back in Texas last week to see family there for a conference.
