Dr. Thomas Noguchi was the chief medical examiner for LA County from 1967 to 1982. He oversaw the autopsies of some of Hollywood's most famous celebrity deaths, including Marilyn Monroe, Robert Kennedy, Natalie Wood, and John Belushi. Coroner to the Stars is a documentary showing parts of his amazing, and at times controversial, tenure as LA's coroner.

We are speaking with the directors of the film, Ben Hethcoat and Keita Ideno. You can watch Coroner to the Stars on demand, for rent or purchase on YouTube, Amazon, etc. It is a fascinating look at one of the more interesting high-profile Asian American figures from that era; I highly recommend seeing it!

When I heard about Chelsea's story, I really wanted to share it on the podcast. When Chelsea's father was looking to retire after owning and running R&G Lounge since 1985, he called Chelsea. Even though Chelsea had a college degree in a completely different area, she stepped up to keep the family business thriving!

Famous for its salt and pepper crab, R&G Lounge is the place to celebrate life's big moments with friends and family. This may sound like an advertisement, but we are not sponsored, and we pay for our food. We just happen to be big R&G fans!

And big news: Chelsea announced that R&G is going to open a new sister restaurant in Las Vegas, hopefully later this year! Follow their social media @randglounge to find out more!
