This is episode 57 but you might know it better as the old "Heinz Variety."  That's because this month we're talking about some of the most famous nicknames of people in Los Angeles history.  We'll go from the confrontational "Fighting Bob" Shuler (:17), "Slapsy" Maxie (:32) and "Greek" George Caralambo (:49) to the criminal "Two Gun" Davis (:58) and "Machine Gun" Walker (1:20).
