Now, on his new channel, Guy Flores Travel, Guy explores places, people and politics, getting locals to show him the less polished truth about where they live. Expect stories, disagreements, explanations, and possibly for Guy to have lost his new channel before this interview ends. For more information visit Master J on Facebook. [Repeats Friday 3.30pm.]
