The Duke of Sports, Eric Sklar, joins Conway to break down the NFL playoffs and what to expect as the postseason heats up. Things take a turn closer to home when Conway shares a story about a small fire in his generator, followed by a look at vandalism at Westminster Mall. 

The show also checks in on the weather with a wind advisory in effect, but sunny skies ahead, plus a surprising California update: the state is officially drought-free. And in a bizarre crime story, In-N-Out restaurants are being targeted with counterfeit $100 bills, leading to the arrest of two women. A little sport, a little chaos, and plenty of classic Conway.

Heather Brooker joins Conway with all the highlights from the Golden Globes, including why the new geo-location features made the night more fun and interactive than ever. She sticks around for more must-listen conversation, including Tim’s great Paul Thomas Anderson story and Heather’s connection to PTA, the son of legendary voice Ernie Anderson. Plus, Heather shares behind-the-scenes stories from her appearances on The Office and breaks down PTA’s big Golden Globes win for One Battle After Another. 

The show then dives into food with the Chow Hound report on the best Italian restaurant in every U.S. state, spotlighting North Italia and Mulberry Street Restaurant in Fullerton. Things get even more random with a discussion about Pokémon GO and massive groups gathering to take over “gyms.” And to wrap it up, Conway and crew debate whether Drizzlicious really tastes like Popcornopolis — and how a TikTok trend turned it into a viral snack obsession.

Traffic grinds to a halt in El Monte after a suspicious device is discovered, setting off a major law enforcement response. Meanwhile, coyotes are turning up everywhere across L.A. — from Dodger Stadium to inside apartment buildings — raising concerns about just how bold they’ve become. 

The conversation shifts to Hollywood, where new streetlights come with a shocking price tag of nearly a million dollars. Plus, controversy brews after a Starbucks employee draws a pig on a police officer’s cup, and alarming reports reveal more than 100 LAFD fire trucks, engines, and ambulances are out of service and in need of repair. The show wraps with crime in the San Fernando Valley, where two suspects are arrested in a robbery spree targeting multiple 7-Eleven stores.

Petros Papadakis kicks things off with one of his classic observations—“tapered on both sides”—but what does it actually mean? From there, the conversation rolls through Southern California geography as Petros breaks down Palos Verdes, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, and why some of those areas are literally sinking. Conway floats the idea of rich guests pooling money to buy racehorses, which leads to questions about the “low end” of wealth, Greek Avgolemono (egg-lemon chicken soup), and other unexpected turns.

Later, Petros talks San Pedro remodels, dentists, and proudly claims membership in the no-cavity club. The sports talk heats up with Ducks vs. Hoosiers, followed by a deeper look at how Indiana managed to turn its football program around. A mix of humor, local insight, and sports analysis—classic Petros, start to finish.

The show kicks off with breaking chaos in the Valley as a big rig overturns across multiple freeways in Sylmar, creating a traffic nightmare during intense Santa Ana winds. We break down what caused it, why the winds were so extreme, and how close this came to being much worse. 

Michael Monks joins us to unpack Governor Gavin Newsom’s State of the State address, including a major, multi-agency crackdown on human trafficking and prostitution along the Figueroa Corridor in South Los Angeles — one of the most aggressive enforcement efforts in recent years involving federal, county, and city law enforcement.

We dive headfirst into CES 2026 in Las Vegas, where this year’s Consumer Electronics Show makes one thing crystal clear: A.I. is officially running the show. From smarter tech to mind-blowing automation, the future is no longer coming — it’s already here. 

Then things get wild with the next generation of robots, including machines that will one day do your laundry, help build cars for Hyundai by 2028, and even power the world’s first autonomous “thinking” car. Lasers, robotics, and A.I. collide as we break down what’s real, what’s coming, and what might sound like sci-fi but isn’t. 

We also check in on the weather as high winds continue to impact mountain communities like Wrightwood and Santa Clarita. 

And in a lighter turn, a California transplant from Tennessee joins the conversation with some culture-shock questions that spark instant debate: Are speeding tickets even a thing here?

Back on Earth, tragedy strikes much closer to home with a deadly shooting in Sylmar stemming from a family dispute, ending in a murder-suicide that shocks the community. 

Sports and headlines collide as rumors swirl around Travis Kelce’s possible retirement, and we pivot to a lighter but timely moment wishing Dean Sharp — The House Whisperer — a happy birthday before diving into one of Southern California’s biggest ongoing issues: rebuilding after devastating fires. Dean breaks down the growing controversy over permits, why hundreds of millions of dollars aren’t going where people think they are, and just how expensive — and complicated — rebuilding has become. 

The conversation continues with serious concerns about whether the flood of rebuilding plans could lead to mistakes in places like Altadena and the Palisades, plus clarity on ADUs, temporary tax relief, and how housing policy is trying to keep up with demand. 

And just when you think the day can’t get stranger, emergency crews are forced to evacuate people off the Disneyland Monorail after it’s stuck in place for more than two and a half hours — proving even the “Happiest Place on Earth” isn’t immune to chaos.

One year after the devastating Palisades and Eaton fires, we take a hard look at what’s changed — and what hasn’t. The crew digs into LAFD budget shortfalls, chronic staffing issues, and the uncomfortable question of how to make sure a disaster like this never happens again. 

The conversation turns personal with David Howard, an iHeart sales manager who lost his home in the Palisades fires. He shares his experience navigating insurance, rebuilding, and why residents are rallying for accountability as new changes to the After-Action Report raise serious questions about responsibility and transparency from city and county leadership. 

We continue the discussion on the slow, frustrating pace of rebuilding across fire-impacted neighborhoods — from permits and inspections to bureaucratic delays that many feel are holding community's hostage. 

Plus, Heather Brooker reports live from Altadena, where she speaks directly with residents about how life has changed since the fires, the emotional toll one year later, and a community gathering aimed at bringing people together and moving forward.
