Mr. Chatsworth’s Frankly Speaking: San Fernando Valley Homes with Frank SpencerPorter Ranch & Chatsworth Housing Market 2025 | The Unexpected SurpriseEpisode Description:
The 2025 Porter Ranch and Chatsworth housing markets are full of surprises — and it’s not the crash some were expecting. In this episode, Frank Spencer (Mr. Chatsworth) breaks down the data behind the unexpected boost we’re seeing in local real estate activity.
As the market moves through the typical five-season real estate cycle, inventory is dropping — but buyer demand is rising. Why? Because mortgage rates have quietly been trending down, even without major action from the Fed.

To Be FrankTo Be Frank: #3 Uncle LazerIn this hilariously unfiltered episode of To Be Frank, Frank Castillo sits down with the wild and magnetic Uncle Lazer for a freewheeling ride through comedy, chaos, and oilfield origins. From directional drilling and $400k rig paychecks to psychedelic wedding brawls and stabbing exes with snapping turtle vibes, no story is off limits. The two bond over family fights, bombing onstage, growing through comedy, and how being truly self-aware separates the good from the great. Add in poop witches, rig groupies, childhood cringe confessions, and dab science—this one's a gritty, raunchy, and genuinely inspiring deep cut.
