Yo, welcome to another episode of In A Minute with Evan Lovett, and we are live here in the IAM studios in the heart of Los Angeles.

And though we cover all of Los Angeles, from Silmar to San Pedro,

Pomona to Palisades, Monta Bellasades, Monta Bellas, the heartbeat of Los Angeles is Hollywood.

And as we discussed a few weeks ago, Hollywood is in the middle of a pretty epic collapse,

some struggles, some problems. Some even say that is on its

deathbed. And that's why I'm here with a cardiologist. He's not a real cardiologist, but I'm calling

him that. He is the man who is going to dissect and look at Hollywood because that's what he does

every day. It's Patrick Caliguri, also known as producer

Patrick. He has some great credits to his name. He has been Big Brother, The Amazing Race, Quest

on Disney Plus, a lot of big shows. But most importantly, his presence on Instagram, on TikTok, on LinkedIn,

as the man who really looks at what's going on in the industry has been invaluable recently,

especially as sort of a guidepost to get people through these really major struggles that are happening

in one of LA's most important industry.

So Patrick, first of all, thank you for being here.

I really appreciate you.

Wow, what an introduction.

I don't think I've had an introduction like that ever in my life, so I appreciate that so much.

Look, this is the truth.

Again, I'm not an industry guy.

I like to say, you know, we cover the history and the culture of Los Angeles, not that Hollywood,

Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, but that's important too.

But the thing is, you have friends, you have people, we all know people in this industry, and the industry is struggling.
