Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to The
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app KFI AM
six forty. It is The Conway Show. Mark Thompson's here.
Last night was one of the most exciting games in
college football to watch a school like Indiana able to

(00:23):
win a championship. They've been horrible for one hundred years
or so, and they put it together and they won
a championship. And I used to live in another house
in Burbank and the guy who lived across the street
was the biggest Notre Dame fan from Indiana, and I
needed him to come in here to celebrate with him.
And even though he's a Notre Dame fan, he is
from Indiana and there's a lot of Indiana fans that

(00:46):
he knows, and he is with us. Sean Murphy, how
are you, bub.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Good good Man?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
What a night it was.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
It was crazy. I was actually surprised. I thought Indiana
would handle him a lot easier.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
I did too. It was a seven and a half
point game. I thought it'd be twelve to fifteen. Yeah, yeah,
And it was close.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
It was close.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
An interception at the end and ended it. But if
that if they make that pass, they can win that game. Yeah,
they're still in it because they were only a they're
all up by six, six points.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
So yeah, it was it was pretty shocking. Mendoza's touchdown,
by the way, is a poster he'll probably have on
his wall for the rest of us.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Oh yeah, dive absolutely, and that that may have propelled
him to for NFL teams to want him so badly
that they trade with the Raiders. That was a Petro's
money we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Well, he's a he's a strikingly great kid, right, I mean,
it's unbelievable. He's just I.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Mean his speech when he won the Heisman Trophy, we
played it and it's, uh, you can't help but become
emotional when.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
You heard he was Yeah, he was unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah. So all right, So what's going on in and
I mean I saw them, you know, partying in the streets.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
They were tearing it up. I mean, how could you
not though? Look, I think it was three years ago,
maybe two. Indiana was the first team to hit seven
hundred losses Vision One team. They were a terrible.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
But didn't they sometimes go seasons without winning even a game.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I'm sure they did. Yeah, I'm sure they did. They
were they were sort of a footnote in the Big ten,
and so you didn't really pay attention.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Right, So I called Sean last night and I said,
but you got command. We got to celebrate Indiana. I said,
I heard something on the radio though, that they won.
They were sixteen and o. Right was, yes, okay, sixteen
Oh that no team has done that since eighteen ninety five.
And you and I both were shocked by that.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, well, no, I I misunderstood. I thought you were
saying no one had gone undefeated since the eighteen hundreds.
And I said, I think it might be the sixteen
and o thing, because.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Oh, maybe because they're one more.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Games Yale it was thirteen ninety seven, I think.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
But this kid, Mendoza, who is a quarterback on Indiana,
he was going to go to like Harvard or Yale.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
He was gonna I think he was originally going to
go to Yale. Yeah, that may have been ended up
getting picked up by Cal. Right and he played for
cal And then I mean, Signetty all in love with
a kid, I guess.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
And how did where did this guy come from? The signetti?
He looks like he's been coaching his whole life.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
I honestly don't know, but apparently, from what I've heard,
he just wins wherever he goes. I know he was
at Alabama in two thousand and nine, twenty ten under Saban.
He went to some smaller schools.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
But this guy has not been with Indiana very long.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
No, his second year he turned.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
That program around a national championship. Everybody on campus was
watching that game. Everybody in Indianapolis was watching that game.
They filled up their arena where they played basketball, and
they were standing room only. They'd open up an auxiliary room.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, I've saw some of the video of the interception
from that stadium.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
This has got to be a movie.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
It will be.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, it happen, Mean, it's.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's a It's definitely a story worth telling.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
I guess didn't they do a movie on their basketball program?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Who's Yours?

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Who? All? Okay? And And this is a bigger story
than Hoosier's.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Did you ever see the show in the Middle? Did
you ever watch that?

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, absolutely, it was.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
The best show on TV.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, and it's very good.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
It was about two parents who had three kids. They
lived in Indiana, the market that they always went to
was the frugal Hoosier, which is great.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
But my day.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
I grew up in Ohio, which is right next to Indiana.
I went to the school in Bowling Green. And I
always say, if I ever opened a door for somebody
or write a thank you letter, it's because of what
I learned in the Midwest. When I meet somebody and
they say they're from Michigan or Indiana or Ohio, I
know who they are instantly. I know they're they're decent people,

(04:41):
they're good parents, they're you know, they're they're they're involved
in the community, they help people out and that. And
that's almost true with one hundred percent of the people
I've met from that area. It really is great. And
then they come out here and they realized that everybody's
in a hole out here, and they move home.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
I think that's a bit extreme. Not everybody, it's exactly true.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
All right. So your kid now goes to Notre Dame. Yes,
that's got to be Hugeree, You're the biggest Notre Dame
fan of the world.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
It's very exciting. It's very exciting.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
This is great. I was Sean has a poker game.
The I think it's every month used to be it's.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Getting drawn out now.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
And it was great because it was my only way
out during COVID to have any kind of contact with anybody.
We would play at his house and we'd sit there
with five other guys or six, seven or other guys
who weren't wearing masks and weren't lunatics, and we played
cards and I asked sehn uh. One day, I said, hey,
your wife is a big executive with one of these banks.

(05:41):
What does she do? And he said, I don't know.
She's like an accounting or something. He said, Okay, that's
great if you're a three year old telling me what
your wife does. But you gotta know more about what
she does. But you know what, you also told me
a great story.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
She keeps us afloat. I think that's what she does.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Okay, you have three kids?

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Are for three?

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Okay? Three kids? So when Sean was he had to
fly back in Washington, DC or New York whatever, and
he would fly home alone with his kids because his
wife is a big executive with one of these big banks,
and he'd fly home, you know, with the three kids.
The three kids were well behaved and he got a
ton of compliments saying, oh, you're such a great dad
with these kids. These groups are so well behaved. But

(06:21):
when they're with your wife, she never gets the compliments.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Now, and if we're all if we were all together
right and I was taking care of him, I would
get the compliments. She might even get the stink guy
from a few people.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
What's the different. That's a difference in parenting style.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
I probably just scare them, you know what it is.
It could be as simple as that we get off
this plane.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
It's when you see a dad with three kids and
the kids well behaved. The you know, they's so unused.
It's so unusual. You know, they just expect the mom
to be a great mom, but to have a you know,
a good dad, You're like, what the hell, where'd you
come from? But Indiana, this is a This is going
to change their school forever. This is great for recruiting.

(07:07):
It's great for the city, it's great for the state.
It's great for merchandising. This is a huge deal.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
It is. It absolutely is. I mean, I've got a
good friend who may have come to a couple of
the poker games, but he flew out for the game
obviously was He's like, if you if we're gonna get there,
we got to go.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
And I think every Indiana fan was like whether they
were a small fan or a big fan of the
football team, right, they were like, this is once in
a it could be once in a lifetime.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
I saw a guy, the running back for Oregon who's
a new kid, you know, he said his first year
of the Oregon and I think Indiana flew out to
Oregon to play in Oregon. And he looked up and
he said and he said, oh, I guess all the
seats are red in this stadium. And it wasn't it
was the fan. But these fans traveled, They traveled. I

(07:57):
mean they they There was literally fifty thousand listen of
them or more in Miami. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Well the Rose Bowl, I think they Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
They packed the Rose Bowl. There was there was nobody there,
you know, to watch Alabama. It was it was all Indiana.
And that was embarrassing. You know, that's not good for
the school. For Alabama to get their ass kicked like that.
That really it hurts recruiting and it hurts the longevity
of that program because now kids are look for a
long time. If you were great in football, and you

(08:27):
lived in Indiana, you had to go to Alabama, LSU
or Florida or USC but or Notre Dame. Okay, I
get that. But but now they have another school that
they can they can go to. They can go to
Indiana and they don't have to go to Alabama or LSU.
You know, there's two great schools now in Indiana.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
And the Big Ten now is back to back championships.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
That's great.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
SEC hasn't even shown up to a championship in the
last two years.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
And and your boy, Brian what's his name.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
You thought that his sister named Kelly. It might be that.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Brian Kelly left in the middle of the night. He
was the Notre Dame coach. He went to LSU and
you may remember his speech. You know, it's a good
time to be a Tiger.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
You know that whole family.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Family, Yeah, the family. This guy went down there and
bsked everybody in LSU and they threw him out of there.
Yeah yeah, they fired him.

Speaker 6 (09:21):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
And and it's the disgrace to have him leave that
school the way he did. Notre Dame. Well, yeah, but
you be the greatest thing that ever happened to Notre Dame.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
We got we got a great coach, right, Marcus Freeman
came in under Brian Kelly. Right, and now he's rushing
it for Notre Dame. I mean he is he. I
can't picture a better coach.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
He's the best for Notre Dame. Right. And you know
what he said recently, he said this today. Somebody asked him,
you know, are you gonna go coach in the in
the pros? You're gonna go to the the NFL, And
he said, I'm going to tell you this for the
last time. I love being here. I love the school,
I love these kids. They could give me enough money
to go to the NFL. I'm staying here. He made

(10:03):
it very, very obvious that he loves being there. Yeah,
and you know what, and the kids respect that. The
kids play harder for a guy like that, they do.
And the reason why they didn't play hard for Brian
Kelly down in LSU is because he's an a hole.
How about that.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
I'm just gonna wipe my hands, Yes.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
That's but, but that's true. He left those kids did
in the middle.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Of their unfortunate because he could have had a really
good legacy in Notre Dame. He could have walked away
with a pretty good legacy, and he could.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Have won the national championship because it's still it's still
a great school to go to. Anybody absolutely is.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
But I do think Brian Kelly, and this is just
my opinion, can take mediocre schools and really get them
up there. But I don't think he can take grade
schools and get him over the hump.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Okay, maybe not, maybe not, but I hope this nuke
Marcus Freeman could do that.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
I think he can, and he just got eight great
portal transfer guys.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Another wide receiver, Sean Murphy is whether us he this
guy travels and you'll fly back to Notre Dame to
watch a game. And I think it was American Airlines
or Delta that's doing this. They they have a plane
that leaves Lax and you don't have to fly to
Chicago or Indianapolis. You can fly right into South Bend.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
But it's Lax.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Oh that's right. Yeah, Lax sucks. But Lax is getting better.
Lax is getting better. And this new Burbank Airport is
gonna be phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
It's I love. Yeah, I don't like to talk about
it publicly.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Airport Burbank airports the best. If we have a seven
o'clock flight, we can leave the house at six fifteen.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Oh. Absolutely. My wife and I used to have a
challenge and when the kids were too small and we
would travel alone. As soon as you landed in Burbank,
you would text and say it wheels down, and then
the person at home would start.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
A clock, right, and when you.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Walk in the door, you stop the clock and I
want to say, I am currently winning at somewhere around
eleven minutes. Wow, wheels down to walk in through the door.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
That's great, man. The nice thing about Burbank Airport is
if I'm flying in and my wife's at home, I say,
don't go to the airport to pick me up. When
we land, I'll text you, and then she gets in
the car and she's there at the same time. It's
the greatest airport in the world. Buddy, appreciate you coming by.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Notre Dame next year looking good.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Looking very good. I think they're looking great.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
And a lot of seniors coming back.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
I don't know, we lost, we lost, obviously, we lost.
You know the best running.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Backs, right, you know. I love watching I love watching
the NFL and when at the beginning of the game
when they introduced the offense and defense. You often hear
Notre Dame.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
You do.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
And by the way, Cole Comet, I know the Bears lost,
but that catch in Yeah, yeah, Notre Dame. Guy, that's
Notre Dame. That was a beautiful thing.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
That is fantastic. But yeah, looking good, buddy, Say out
to your wife. I can't believe your kids already in college. Yeah,
it depresses me. If you ask me how old your
oldest son was, I would say fourteen. He's not though
he's probably twenty.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
He's eighteen.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
He's eighteen. Yeah, I got him, mighty. That's unbelievable. These
kids were born after nine eleven him and some of
them are playing in the NFL and the NHL. It's crazy, unbelievable. Buddy,
Thanks for coming by Sean Murphy. Everybody love it dig
with this guy. The owner of the craziest wallpaper in
the world.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
That's so you're still not harping on the wall paper.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
It's like a jungle in right now.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
I promise you. My wife is like, get.

Speaker 7 (13:21):
Rid of those.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
That's why Conway is not allowed into my house. Yeah, yeah,
I don't want to hear the blowback your wife.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
I know, guys, I know my husbands don't like to
hear this, but you have the greatest wife of the world.
I do, and guys hate to hear that for some reason.
But she's the best. All right. We're live on KIM
six forty am. I am sixty Conways show. That was great,
Sean Murphy Man, that's a cool dude. Seemed like a
nice guy. Yeah, that's a great guy. I My biggest

(13:51):
regret is that I moved off that street. I had
like three good friends on that street, another guy named Michael.
And you know, when you in the room full of
thumb in Los Angeles and surrounding communities, if you love
your neighbors, never move. I think that's exactly right in
general and life. Yeah try.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
I think you lived near people you enjoy and in
a social network that you enjoy.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Because there are so many crazy neighbors in this world.
I'll tell you a quick crazy neighbors story. We lived
in Tarzana and the fence in the back of our
yard was all broken down. We moved in. It had
been up there for fifty years and it was falling apart.
So I took the whole fence down, including the support posts,

(14:37):
all the you know, the dog eared redwood. Took it
all down and I put up a new one and
it looked great. It was done well, it was done professionally.
Spent somebody on it. And the woman who owns the
house in the back of us had the city come

(14:57):
out and measure that fence to see if it was
on her because she thought it was on her property.
But her property she had about an acre and a
half there. She never used the last hundred feet that
was on It was right after our property, so is
our property the fence, and then her property, but she
never used the back hundred feet. It was all overgrown

(15:19):
with weeds and trees. So, yeah, she's just being difficult.
So the city comes out and the report comes back.
It's a quarter of an inch on their property. And
they said most of the time when that happens, the
neighbors say, don't worry about it. She's not going that direction.

(15:42):
You either have to take that fence down, he said,
or you can have somebody come out and sand the
support Oh my god, and sand him down. So I
paid a guy with a belt sander him and his
son came out two beltsand and they worked for three
days standing the supports for that fence down a quarter

(16:06):
of an inch so we could we'd be okay, that
is offensive, that really is. And I didn't think that
they could tell a quarter of an inch, you know.
I thought that was you know, there's some play there,
such a weird thing that she would you know, it
was odd go to war over that. And then I
found out that that that wasn't the first time that

(16:30):
she's been like as Fata difficult other neighbors and stuff,
and so so that's that's that's what I'm saying. If
you have a crazy neighbor, they can make your life
help sure.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
I mean, you know, most neighbors are pretty reasonable. I
think most neighbors are great. Yeah, and and and and
my point about living around people you like like Sean
who is just in studio he's rip is uh, is
that you know, we're social creatures for the most part.
And so even if you don't have to have anything
to do with your neighbors, particularly as long as they're
you know, everybody gets a law, but even just the

(17:01):
social network around your world like yours is very burbank
oriented or whatever. Right, And that's a great thing. I mean,
that's so. I think you've done a smart thing by
kind of staying in this area.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, I believe. I love Burbank, but now that my
daughter's out of school, were thinking about maybe moving to
one Orange County. I'm thinking about it. I'm thinking about it, Belly.
All Right, the Hoosiers the big you're gonna take Sean
with you. We'll take it with me, Okay, all right,
I'll I was on down there the biggest moments from

(17:32):
the National College Football Championship. Everybody, this is unbelievable. This
happened last night.

Speaker 6 (17:39):
A central cautility has forgotten. The Indiana Hoosiers are the
kings of college football.

Speaker 7 (17:46):
This morning, for the first time ever, the Indiana Hoosier
is sitting on top of the college football world.

Speaker 8 (17:51):
And I think it's got to be one of the
greatest stories we've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
In college football.

Speaker 7 (17:54):
Defeating the Miami Hurricanes twenty seven to twenty one, led
by Heisman Trophy winning quarter back for Nando Mendoza, who
threw for one hundred and eighty six yards and scored
a rushing touchdown. A full circle moment for Mendoza, who
grew up minutes away from the University of Miami, rooting
for the Canes, sparks flying from the moment the teams

(18:15):
arrived Miami essentially with home field advantage. But who's your
nation waiting a long time for this? And board? Did
they show up a sea of red at hard Rock Stadium?

Speaker 1 (18:25):
They got the money? I guess. In Indianapolis.

Speaker 7 (18:27):
I caught up with Indiana alum and donor Mark Cuban
before kickoff. I can tell you're a Crown.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Oh you know what I heard that Mark Cuban is
responsible for a lot of this you know what they
call it? Is it nil money game image? And like
this nil that he was paying a lot, was writing
a lot of checks. Oh that's interesting, you know, because
these things don't happen in a vacuum. They don't happen
by accident. You know, money talks here.

Speaker 7 (18:54):
I can tell you're a crown. Crown Indiana grad. What
does this moment mean?

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Robin is incredible? Thinconceivable.

Speaker 7 (19:03):
Never in a million years did I think I'd be
standing here with you.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Indiana Ross first play in this game.

Speaker 7 (19:11):
Indiana dominated the first half, getting on the scoreboard first.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Touchdown.

Speaker 7 (19:17):
Indiana, the crowd and US on their feet as Riley
Nowakowski scored the first touchdown of the National Championship. The
Canes had a chance to score before half, but its
all throw right up right. They wasted no time in
the third quarter.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
I wonder if if they're gonna you know, wasn't it
the the horrible trade that he made with Luka Doncic
And was it Anthony Davis? Was it Anthony Davis?

Speaker 8 (19:50):
It wasn't Cuban. He was gone by that ownership group.
But yeah, but he still had some say. But they
pulled that trade off without him knowing he would have shot.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
But isn't that sort of known around the sports world
or maybe just the NBA? Is the worst trade in
the history of the NBA? Oh yeah, easily easily? How
about that the Lakers benefit from the worst trade in
the history of the NBA.

Speaker 8 (20:15):
The Lakers have been the beneficiary beneficiaries of some really
unbalanced trades. Getting Pau Gasol for Kwame Brownack they was
a big one. The deals that brought in, like the
draft picks that ended up being James Worthy and things
like that. They ended up having a lot of luck
with trades that pay off down the line.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
It's I get the film.

Speaker 8 (20:36):
It has a lot to do with the fact that
the NBA really loves seeing a competitive LA market.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
That's right.

Speaker 8 (20:41):
And they like seeing superstars in LA and Luca is superstar.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah. And and people like to play for Los Angeles
because they become celebrities. Oh yeah, you get.

Speaker 8 (20:52):
I mean just Austin Reeves is now known as Lemon
Daddy because he has the Lemon Daddy adds all over town.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
And it's with all sports too, you know, Dodgers, Uh,
you know, the Rams, Clippers, Lakers, Uh, somewhat with the Kings.
But you can come out here and be a celebrity
and hang out with other celebrities. But if you play
for you know, Cleveland, or you play for Cincinnati, there's
nobody there. I'd say New York, LA. And Miami a bit,

(21:19):
Miami a little bit. Oh we gotta take bread's. Conway
Thompson were live on Kfi'm.

Speaker 5 (21:23):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KF
I am six forty.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
If I am six forties, Conway Mark Thompson is here.
Nice to see you by I love seeing you Conway
always all right. LA Times had an interesting article yesterday
and it is about pizza places. The the oh I
heard you tease this as some new ones, just some

(21:50):
new ones, but the seven new favorite pizzas to try
in Los Angeles. One of them Fiarelli Pizza f I
O R ll I. They say it's really good pizza.
Oh yeah, could be categorized as they cross between New
York and I'm sorry, dough hydration levels in the temperature

(22:16):
in the oven is what makes it great. And that
is in just south of West Hollywys. Between Beverly Hills
and West Hollywood. Fiorelli Pizza. Well, the dough hydration levels,
they're big on those. Another one is Sunny's in Hollywood.
Maybe you're familiar with that, the old fashioned pepperoni that
curl up when you when they when they cook. That

(22:38):
is a real treat, they say. I will preface this
blurb with the fact that, yes, I have seen all
social media influencers proclaiming this to be the best pizza
in Los Angeles, and they may be right. And what's
that place called. It's called Sonny's. It's in Hollywood, Okay,

(22:59):
and it is off of Sunset Boulevard. And let me
get your crust stren I've heard of Sunset Boulevard and Gardener,
North Gardner and Sunset so closer to Fairfax, between Fairfax
and right. Yea, what else do you have?

Speaker 4 (23:16):
All?

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Right, here we go old tomato, old gold tomato pies,
old gold tomato pies. Also I believe in Hollywood. Wow,
well represented it. Yes, yes, yes, yes, near Sicilian Square pizza.
I'm looking at it now. It looks good. Yeah, it
looks fantastic. Another one is Redwood Pie in her Mosa Beach.

(23:41):
Redwood Pie, Redwood Pie in Hermosa Beach. And what's so
distinguished about them? Oh they say they make really good pizza. One,
it does look good. I'll tell you crispy, thin, sour
dough crossed pizzas with fresh stopping stem. Yes, yes, yes,
unique options. They have the white heat option. Can you
know what the white heat? You know what that is?

(24:01):
I don't know what that Oh it's pickled serrano peppers.
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
And and there's a little something for your uncle Mark.
Available is vegan cheese that I want.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
But hopefully the vegan cheese doesn't touch the other cheeses.
Oh that's right. It would that would contaminate everything, wouldn't it?
All right, here's another one for you, wall Flower Pizza,
but not spelled Flower flo. You are wall Flower Pizza,
and that's it right off the I think it's Eagle Rock,

(24:33):
right off the the one just south of the one
thirty four freeway and east of the two freeways. And
what's so special about that? Let's find out together. Wallflower
Pizza originally began its Quarantine Pizza Company, a backyard pandemic
pop up out of Brandon Conaway in Carolina. The two

(24:53):
open Wallflower Pizza on Colorado Boulevard and Eagle Rock in
the spring.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
So it looks really good. I'm looking at the picture,
you know, I'm dialing these up as you're talking about them.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
This is.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Sourdough pizza is very popular, and it's known this place
for its creative, high quality toppings. And the places evolved
from a pandemic pop up, as you said, into a
beloved brick and mortar spot where a unique seventies inspired vibe.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
What does that mean, Tim, I have no idea. Maybe
it's the vibe inside is like an old Shaky's or
straw had. Yeah, here's another one. Cosetta Co s E.
T t A in Santa Monica, right off the ten Freeway,
a little bit west of your four oh five. Yeah,
that's near the airport, the Santa Monica Airport, I believe. Okay,

(25:45):
So and what they're saying about that blink and you'll
miss it. There goes.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
It's a Italian cuisine I think across the board, like
so you can get more than just pizza there.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah, it's in that Santa Monica business park. It's the
pizza that is reminiscent of the pies he made in
the now closed Casa Bwana. Thick thin. They got it
all there, so slide out therein all the way. I
can't stand thick pizza like Chicago and Detroit style. I

(26:18):
don't know. I never got into it. Here's another one,
bub Bub and Grandma's Pizza. Bub and Grandma's Pizza. And
that is going to be another one in the Eagle
Rock area. That's right off of we'll get you York
Boulevard and we'll get to the cross street here, Avenue

(26:39):
fifty one. All right, what they're saying about. You know what,
I drove through Lesion Park. There were so many restaurants
now they used to be homes. They're right on the
street and and they just looked great. They're always packed,
everybody's outside, eating outside and enjoying themselves. So this one
looks fantastic. Right on the corner looks yeah, Bub and
Grandma's Pizza. If you've been following Andy Caden's career or

(27:03):
Cadden's career, you'll know his breads can be found at
restaurants around the city, profoundly identified on every menu item.
It's Glacelle Park, Bub and Grandma's Pizza. So there you go.
And then a buddy of mine, a guy named Mike,
sent me. He said he's got two more here that

(27:24):
he hopes we mention because these are some of the
best pizzas in town. And one of them was Hot
Tongue I believe. Yeah, Michael Glasseig sent me this. Okay,
one of them is Hot Tongue Pizza, which is great.
That's up, I believe near Dodger Stadium or Los Felis area.
The only problem I've had with Hot Tongue I've been

(27:44):
there before. It's great pizza. A pizza is thirty nine dollars. Yeah, yeah,
that's a lot of money. And then Prime Pizza on
Hollywood Way and for Dugo is also sensational. All right,
there's your pizza reviews. Go out and enjoy yourself. It's
Conways Shew Mark Thompson's here, KF I am six Morts
Conway Shell, Mark Thompson's here. There was a standoff with

(28:08):
LAPD in West Los Angeles. Let's find out what happened there.
I think it was a the barricade thing. Yeah, the
barricade deal.

Speaker 6 (28:17):
That's going on eighteen hundred block of Brockton Avenue.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Eighteen hundred eighteen hundred block of Brockton on the.

Speaker 6 (28:23):
Eighteen hundred block of Brockton Avenue in West LA. You
can see LAPD and their swap seam that is here
on the scene of a very nice home in the
West LA neighborhood. This was reported as a hot proud
I mean someone who was trying to break in while
the house was occupied, and they are apparently barricaded in
there with a knife, a middle aged woman and she
is refusing to come out. Now, they are not calling
this a hostage situation, so it does not sound like

(28:46):
the person inside, the homeowner of the renter, or whoever
is inside. It sounds like they were safely, safely get.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Out of hell.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Just the assailing the renter, the lover.

Speaker 6 (28:54):
Calling this a hostage situation, So it does not sound
like the person inside, the homeowner of the renter, or
whoever is in side. It sounds like they were safely
be able to safely get out of it, as just
the assailant that is in. They're getting armed with a knife.
Lapd looked like they were going to make an approach
here of a swat team. They had their shield, but
they just kind of came up to the front, maybe
to try to get a better perspective. These swat situations
can often last a very long time, I know.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Which I don't get Conway. I feel like if you
and I were there, it's like, guys, we're going in.
She's got a knife, are you kidding?

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
Yeah, we all have five guns on us. Yeah, I've
got other stuff to do today. I can't just sit
outside Brockton and wait for this person with a knife
to you know.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
But that's been their position for a long time. I know. Yeah,
it's on.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
Thomas like white. Now you can see clouds as kind
of beginning to become a factor here, as well as
the marine layer.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
But a standoff situation Pretinua factory. You know, I will
tell you that there are other police deu you know,
divisions or you know, uh, department agencies. They will just
go right in Yeah and uh take take them.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
And look, please don't mist understand me. These guys are
highly trained and they probably are making the right decisions.
I'm just saying my impatience would I'm definitely rule a day.
I am with you.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
We might have the biggest super bloom in the history
of California come out because of all this rain. This
might be the year that will knock your socks off.

Speaker 9 (30:20):
These eye catching flowers with an array of colors create
a stark contrast to the desert as we normally know it.
Widespread pops of bright hues bring a sense of peace.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Did you ever go out and see that? Oh? Absolutely
love it.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
You know, I thought we were having like the best ever,
like a couple of years ago.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Yeah, but this one's supposed to be. I know, I
get it, I get it. But the problem is you
go out there and then half the city's out there.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
It's so true what Tim's saying. It's just you gotta
be strategic about when you go out in here, and
you can if you go early, that's the best time.

Speaker 9 (30:51):
Yeah, you gotta do that, and crowds of curious nature lovers.
The last time we were treated to a super bloom
in twenty seventeen and again in twenty nineteen when we
saw a widespread takeover of beauty. They historically happen every
twenty years, but recently there's been talk of a super
blue possibly coming soon.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
This year, we have an extra special thing happening because
of the weather. We've gotten almost three and a half
inches of rain in the past two and a half months.

Speaker 9 (31:18):
Jamie Purrington, with the ends of Arego Foundation, is seemingly
giddy as we discussed the possibility of this natural phenomenon.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
There's so much beauty there and the flowers, you know,
are this extra street you see.

Speaker 9 (31:29):
Three and a half inches of rain already is pretty
remarkable given that the desert season average of five inches
for the entire year.

Speaker 4 (31:37):
Because of this early rain, we're seeing things grow and bloom.

Speaker 9 (31:42):
January would be pretty dormant with flowers appearing end of
March or April, but not this year. The rain has
given them new hope. So could this really be the year?

Speaker 4 (31:51):
At this point it might be the billion dollar question.
If we had the answer, we would probably be we'd
have a lot more money for the foundation.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
But I think this year is the big super I
heard you last night talking about those kids, the Beckham
kids who are going crazy. Oh yeah. And I don't
often do this, but I'm siding with Mark Ronner. Mark
Ronner had this right last night. You had it wrong,
that that naming your kids after a city like Brooklyn

(32:21):
is not the way to go. Thank you, thank you
for that. You guys are both wrong. And Brooklyn is
a fine Okay, Brooklyn is fine, Brooklyn is fine, London
is fine. Brooklyn is fine, and London is fine.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Even if you're not naming your kid in Minneapolis, you're
naming your kid Brooklyn, which is a cool I.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Got a point, though, Brooklyn is fine. London is fine.
If you are a female naming your kid a male,
London or Brooklyn is.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
A great RAMS player, London Fletcher disaster. I couldn't disagree
with you more. Now I'm with ron Well, this is
the first time I can think of that you're wrong
about something.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
But you are wrong. No, Ronner and I are one
hundred percent right.

Speaker 5 (33:01):
Now.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
You take it on wrong. It looks like you're out
of here. Sharon's all dressed up with her briefcase and
her jacket on. The name thing, yeah gone, okay, let
me consult my son, riverside er. Yeah, that's a great name.

Speaker 9 (33:18):
Get out.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
That's great.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
All right.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Lou Penrose is coming up. That guy's great. He'll take
it all. Ten o'clock tonight with Ronner Brooklyn Runner in there.
I think Rondner nowadays. All right, we're live on kf
I AM six forty.
