I have a relative who about ayear ago, and I'm not going to

when when what I need my goto food is pizza. I really
(01:34):
like pizza. I go, Okay, nothing really interesting about that comment.
People like pizza. Yeah, butshe said it like she had like discovered,
sure, you know, something thatcould help her out when things are
going well, my go to foodwhen I really want something that, you
(01:56):
know, not really happy pizza.Oh that's great, God, all these
great pizzais Hope she's not listening.She's great in every other way. Yeah,
you just had a problem with herher go to food. You thought
she could have taken another meeting onthat. I just think when anyone has
a singles ad where they say theylike to go to dinner and walks on
(02:20):
the beach, I don't think youhave to include those. I think everybody
likes that. And so you're sayingin that spirit, everybody loves pizza,
so to say that that's your goto food, right for you to discover
that that's like, you know,a comfort food, not really an interesting
thought, not really a not reallysomething that should be sold to others.
(02:46):
As you know, I guess whatI as special? Nothing? Well I'm
not even think most of us adorepizza, that's right, right? Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, I mean it'sit's a it's a really what's your
favorite pizza place? Well, Ilike the Deep Dish, the Iss East
and oh that's a good one.Oh I love that, you know,
it's a really good one. Joe'sPizza is now near you. They had
(03:10):
one in Sherman Oaks, but theyhave won in Studio City. Now it's
you know, probably less than amile as the crow flies from your home.
And Joe's pizzas great. Joe's Pizzaterrific. I think it's in the
sauce, the sauce in the crowd. Yeah, and I'll tell you when.
One other quick mention for Renos,which is right there. This is
great. There are two locations,Burdbank and Studio City. Yes, yeah
(03:32):
like that also, but there arethere's another pizza New pizza place on Magnolia
and Hollywood Way called What Up Dough. That's a good name, and that
pizza is good too. There's alot of great pizza out there, and
I can go experience all of themat La Live. All these great pizzais
(03:53):
baking live on enormous commercial ovens,electrics and wood burning. You're gonna see
all the pizzas baked live in frontof you. Different styles as well,
not just Neapolitan, but Sicilian,en Roman, and Detroit style. You
could just see everything made in frontof you. It's unlimited pizza for the
ticket price. Oh wow. Sothe tickets start at one hundred and twenty
five dollars and you can get themat la live dot com. Seems high.
(04:15):
No, one hundred and twenty fivebucks. You gotta get it unlimited
though. Yeah, but you haveto eat a lot of pizza to make
it worth it. Yeah, butI mean if you've got to. I
can't eat a full pizza from Joe'sthat's twenty two dollars. I can't eat
the whole thing, like five slicesthem. You don't want to kill myself.
I hate so much. And that'sso I can eat probably ten dollars
(04:36):
worth of pizza, but not onehundred and twenty dollars worth. Is there
a charity involved? Maybe that's theangle. You imagine how long it would
take you to eat one hundred andtwenty dollars worth of pizza. That's a
lot of pie, that's a lot. Just a few hours. Probably could
you do that stuff? You couldwipe out one hundred and twenty dollars for
a pizza like nothing. Yeah,well you bet that he's got too.
(05:01):
Yeah, that's right, and he'llbe munched out about come on. Yeah,
it's a twelve dollar a day forthis guy. That's wild man,
all right. The standoff continues insam Pedro. There was a high speed
short chase and now they got theguy cornered in San Pedro behind some Mexican
restaurant and they can't get this guyout of there. It's been there for
(05:25):
four or five hours, just sittingthere in the car. They won't move.
It's guys, let's let's get itup. Yeah, wrap it up,

of that car. And then theyyou know, or put in a pepper
gas or dog exactly, sure,come on, but they gotta get this
guy in the car. People havethings that do. Look at that number
of patrol cars is insane, it'sincredible. And again that thoroughfare that's the
(06:11):
main thoroughfare into sam Pedro. Noone can get through that route. Yeah,

American flag, just to let everybodyknow what side by I get it.
(09:01):
So look, I went to aparty in July, the July after nine

shorts and Hawaiian hats. And Isaid, you know this, this food
isn't really Hawaiian. And the guysays, yeah, I know, it's
Middle Eastern, but we got tolay low for a couple of years.
(09:48):
That's a true story. The guywho owned it was like, no,
we gotta do Hawaiian thing here forthe guy, just call it Hawaiian.
Yeah, I said, really,it says a lot more. What were

the heart of Shopiz Portland, Oregon. He said, now you auditioned via

like the steak knives and the butterknives. And I don't need to know
how many butter knives yet. I'mjust talking about like recreationally, you walk
around with like huge knives. Therewas a time during COVID that I had
lost faith in the government or thatI would ever get to do anything ever
again, and I just lost controlof myself buying things on Instagram. And
(14:24):
one of those purchases during that timehappened to be pocket knives, in which
I purchased a great deal. Now, the other day, I was driving
on a palas Verty's Drive Wow,not where the standoff was, but one
of the pallets Ertis drives, andthere was a guy set up at like
one of the horse kind of corner. There's like a corner It's called Kelly's
(14:48):
Corner and they sell like horse stufffor horse types, you know. And
they had a guy outside and itsaid knife sharpening. Wow. And I
was like, you know what.I had to go home and bring my
knives to that guy to sharpen themup. And I said to my wife,
I said, you know what doyou think? You know? I
had to go back down there toRolling Hills Road and TV Drive and sharpen
(15:11):
my knives and She said, whywhat do you use them for? And
I said, well, you knowthey're here. I mean, you know,
I don't want them to be dull, you know, I mean right
right, You need a you needa defense in case like like Fred Rogan
ever attacked you. Oh I would, he'd bleed out in second. But
(15:31):
what I do like to do withmy knives is you know that guy Dave
Weese, yes confounding person, anduh, he likes he loves balloon arches.
I didn't know that, you know. So every time Matt and I
do a show, like a remoteshow, and there's hundreds of people come
to these things like your events,Sure he does. He does balloon arches.
(15:54):
They walk through the balloon arches.Yeah, fancier than remote. And
I bring my knives and by theend of the event, I am massacred.
Uh. Sometimes one year I broughttwo knives and I was just out
there like a video game character.It's gorgeous. Hey, I would I
(16:15):

easy to root for. I heardyou, Lebron James, that was that
was Matt. You're right, Matt. Matt really has a he's got a
(16:36):
real wild hair for the King.What did the King do that made him
so crazy? Matt? Yeah,a press conference that I that that Matt
was kind of all over him onMatt did not appreciate his lack of sportsmanship
postgame? Oh really, I believeso. He was less than gracious.
Yeah, he lost. Yes,his distribution of blame was less than savory
(16:59):
for US media times, I say, okay, is it tough to get
the Lakers to come on your show? The Lakers themselves, you know what?
Those days are over? No one. These guys are all weirdos and
they have nothing to say anyway.But you have my favorite player on all
the time, James Worthy. Well, James Worthy is a media guy and
he's an old head like us.I like that guy, right. Oh,
(17:21):
he's a real champion. But theguys of today are more concerned with
the weird fashionable stuff they're going towear, and you know what, what
sasheting outfit that they're going to makea dramatic exit in the Prescott. But
