Tim Conway Jr. on Demand

Hour 2 (10.14)  

7:05 — There was a stabbing near USC campus at the Metro station, which makes parents crazy with worry. The economy is suffering in Hollywood, with much filming production money moving out of state. There's been layoffs at the big movie studios, and the sound stages have gone quiet. So much so that to make a buck, they’re being rented out for things like weddings and parties. The decline has been driven by tax incentives in locations outside of California. Film production has been cut in half since 2019, with 50,000 jobs slashed in a decade and 80 small film and production companies shuttering. And the Dodgers are now down, with a 19% chance of winning this game. The Brewers are leading 4 to 2, but it’s still doable for the Dodgers.  

7:20 —Bad news at Dodger Stadium, with the guys down to seven outs and Milwaukee up two points. After ticket price hikes, Metrolink is now cutting service starting November due to lower ridership and rising operation costs, which will greatly impact commuters. The train will be impacted, too, with services during the week reduced by around 29% and services on the weekend cut by 40%. What’s happening in LA? Have any politicians desperate for a vote addressed this? 

7:35 —The latest SpaceX launch out of Cape Canaveral today produced a phenomenon known as “space jellyfish.” The Rams lost to the Bills, and they could lose a player, subject to review, following a post-game punch. Also, the Rams have released Harrison “Thiccer Kicker” Mevis after a missed field goal. 

7:50 — Apple is launching HomeView to take on Amazon. What’s that? It’s a home hub powered by Siri AI that sits on a counter or is mounted on a wall. It recognizes your face and adapts to anyone who uses it, up to six people. Your data isn’t stored on the device, which it pulls from your iPhone. Prices start at $2.99 and compete with products like Ring and Nest. No need to fumble with your house key; when it senses you approaching your front door with your Apple watch or iPhone, it opens for you.

Hour 3 (10.14)  8:05 — Timmy received a sweet birthday letter from a nice guy from Newport named Joe Ruis who is a longtime Conway Jr listener and also a fan of King Taco. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are down but still not out. Timmy thinks they’re gonna win this game — he likes the odds of a 1% chance. Has LA officially fallen off the sporting map? Sure seems that way. Timmy can’t remember a worse week for all the Los Angeles teams. 

8:20 — Dodgers lost to Milwaukee, now they need to beat them four straight games. It’s a difficult task but not impossible. The race to secure Orange County beaches against El Nino is on. There’s been a dramatic loss in sand, and it’s only getting worse. They’re bringing in 9,000 cubic yards of sand, or 15 million pounds, to try to save the coast from the local car park near the Pacific Coast Highway from erosion. Caltrans is working with state parks and the Coastal Commission to save our beaches. The beaches represent one third of the OC economy. Did you know? Amelia Earhart was a local? She lived on Toluca Lake! And the mystery of her disappearance could be solved within days. 

8:35— Timmy’s guests are Brian Pinkett and his wife Andreana Stoyanova, who run the California nonprofit Held and Healed Animal Sanctuary in Fallbrook. They take care of farm animals like pigs, ponies, tortoises, chickens, goats and more, and they’re hosting a fundraiser on their farm, called the Golden Hour at the Sanctuary, on Saturday October 17 at 40878 Daily Rd Fallbrook. 

8:50 — Former KFI producer Kiki is back in the house. She now works up in Fresno, California’s fruit basket, for an ABC affiliate station, where all those Gen Z kids are apparently moving. Did she start a trend? She says Fresno is like the new Irvine.  Timmy loves the blue-collar Fresno neighborhood of Clovis, where the hands are dirty and the money is clean.

Hour 4 (10.14)9:05 —Just when you thought the weather was finally cooling off, here come the Santa Anas. LA County is under a Red Flag Warning starting early Thursday through Friday night — and possibly lingering into Saturday. Gusts of 50 to 70 mph in the mountains, 40 to 60 in the valleys and along the coast, covering the Santa Monica Mountains, Malibu, San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita the San Gabriels and more. So, charge the phones, know your zone, and maybe don’t light the grill out back this weekend. Timmy’s not thrilled. 

9:20 — Dodgers just scored — they’re winning this game! Timmy is taking full credit. He firmly believes he is personally responsible for dragging them into the World Series. Meanwhile, the NFL is playing Santa for the little guy, linking roughly 120 local small businesses to Super Bowl LXI so they can get on the map and stay there. Same playbook is expected to roll into the LA Summer Olympics in 2028. Small shops, big stage. Timmy’s already looking for the mom ’n’ pop taco stand. 

9:35 — Metrolink is cutting service again. After a 20% weekday reduction earlier this year, they’re proposing another 29% of weekday trains and 40% of weekend trains gone — starting as soon as November 16 if the counties sign off on October 23. Orange County and the Antelope Valley Line take the biggest hits. Ridership is still way below pre-COVID, they just raised fares for the first time in 13 years, and the member agencies are short on cash. Timmy’s take: higher prices, fewer trains. Perfect. 

9:50 — Apple just dropped HomeView, its first real smart home hub with a screen. It’s a 7-inch display that sits on the counter or mounts on the wall, runs the new Siri AI, and recognizes up to six people in the house so it switches to your personal stuff — messages, calendar, reminders — when it sees your face. You can control lights, locks, cameras, and the rest by voice or touch, make FaceTime calls, and it even listens for smoke and CO alarms. Finally, a kitchen screen that knows it’s you. And no more fumbling for the house key if it’s paired to your phone or watch.

Hour 1 (10.13) Tim’s mom nearly ran over Bob Hope at Bob Hope Airport. Now that terminal is being retired. Hollywood Burbank’s $1.3 billion new terminal is open, and Canter’s Deli says its power bill jumped $10K. 

6:05 — Happy birthday, Tim Conway Jr.! Uncle T-Bones join us to celebrate. 

6:20 — Hollywood Burbank Airport’s new terminal opened October 13, 2026. It costs $1.3 billion; it’s more than 50% bigger, and it keeps 14 gates and walk-out-to-the-plane boarding. Tim also tells the story of the day his mom almost ran over Bob Hope at the airport named after him. 

6:35 — What happens to the old terminal? The 1930 building is set to be demolished. Burbank’s mayor says it isn’t up to code, so it can’t be reused. 

6:50 — Canter’s Deli, a Fairfax Avenue landmark, says its LADWP electric bill went up about $10,000. The owner says rising utility costs are making it hard to keep the business going on a street that’s already struggling.

Hour 2 (10.13) Selma Blair is charged with two felonies after a Delta flight out of LAX. Prosecutors say she kicked a cop and a nurse. Plus: a Santa Barbara principal admits she overrode a school election, and the 6th-grade president seat went to her own kid. 

7:05 — Conway is betting on the Brewers so the Dodgers can win. Reverse jinx, activated. Also: an El Niño-driven Kelvin wave could push king tides higher along the California coast between Thanksgiving and Christmas. And Social Security’s retirement trust fund is projected to run short in late 2032. 

7:20 — Selma Blair pleaded not guilty in Queens to two counts of second-degree assault. Prosecutors say she kicked a Port Authority officer in an ambulance and assaulted a nurse at the hospital after a disturbance on Delta Flight 938 from LAX to JFK. Her attorney calls it a medical emergency. Her memoir, Mean Baby, already admitted to biting Sienna Miller, Kate Moss and Seth MacFarlane. 

7:35 — Dear parents: if you don’t teach your kids right from wrong, the rest of us end up doing it. Tim lays out the skills kids need before they walk into corporate America. 

7:50 — At Washington Elementary in Santa Barbara, the principal admitted she overrode the student vote for two officer positions. The 6th-grade president seat went to her own child.

Hour 3 (10.13) The Vatican says Pope Leo has lung cancer after surgeons removed part of his right lung. And an “aggressive” great white shut down a stretch of Huntington Beach. 

8:05 — Conway swears he can tell Home Depot from Lowe’s by smell alone. Plus: fridges now come with TV screens, and you can knock twice on the glass to light up the inside without opening the door. Then the Vatican’s news: surgeons at Rome’s Gemelli hospital removed the lower lobe of Pope Leo XIV’s right lung, and doctors confirmed lung adenocarcinoma. The Vatican says the surgery went well with no complications. 

8:20 — Kelly Clarkson said a Brooklyn shop treated her like she couldn’t afford anything, a real-life Pretty Woman moment. Now the store’s owners say her posts turned millions of strangers loose on their staff. 

8:35 — Huntington Beach closed the water from Seapoint Street to the pier after lifeguards spotted a 10-to-12-foot great white showing “aggressive behavior.” Some travelers had trouble finding Burbank’s brand-new terminal on day one. And a research team has landed on Nikumaroro to search for Amelia Earhart’s plane, 89 years after she and Fred Noonan disappeared. 

8:50 — A big crack in the bluff under Pacific Coast Highway has closed a southbound lane near Laguna Beach. And the old Penguin Coffee Shop building in Santa Monica, now Mel’s Drive-In, could be torn down for an

Hour 4 (10.13) Hollywood Burbank Airport’s $1.3 billion terminal opened today, and the 1930 original is headed for the wrecking ball. Plus: the day Tim’s mom nearly flattened Bob Hope. 

9:05 — It’s Tim Conway Jr.’s birthday, and Uncle T-Bones is here to make it weird. 

9:20 — The new Hollywood Burbank terminal is open. It’s more than 50% bigger, with the same 14 gates, and you still walk out on the tarmac to board. Tim remembers his mom almost running over Bob Hope back when it was Bob Hope Airport. 

9:35 — So, what happens to the old terminal? It’s been in service since 1930, and the mayor says it isn’t up to code and can’t be reused. It’s coming down, though no demolition date has been set yet. 

9:50 — Canter’s Deli has been on Fairfax since the 1950s, and now its LADWP power bill has jumped about $10,000. The owner says utility costs are squeezing one of LA’s most famous delis.

Hour 1 (10.12)   Mark Thompson is back in the house with that bung trotter, talking up Craig’s off Melrose, where he’s been a regular for 15 years and gets the full king-of-Hollywood welcome from busboys, bartenders, waiters, valets and sluts. 

Timmy’s in a funk because the Dodgers are down 2–0 with five games left and have to win four of them. Happy birthday to Bob Miller, the former voice of the LA Kings, who turns 88 today. If Cleveland knocks off Florida and reaches the World Series, it undercuts the “Dodgers just buy it” line, since Cleveland has the lowest payroll in the league. 

Actress Selma Blair got into a mid-flight altercation on the way to New York, ended up arrested, is facing two counts of assault, and could be looking at the no-fly list while the FBI looks into it. 

OnlyFans model and former Penthouse Pet Adva Lavie is back in court after an August pause, accused of targeting wealthy men she met online. Timmy met her at a Super Bowl party, noticed the ankle bracelet, and she introduced him to Eric Swalwell. Mark still remembers meeting Penthouse founder Bob Guccione when he was a young intern. 

October’s here — Timmy had to break out the electric blanket like a 90-year-old. And Chicago legend Mike “Iron Mike” Ditka died last week. Atta boy.

Hour 2 (10.12)   Some people got a sprinkle this weekend, some got a torrential downpour. Crozier took a house tour in his Clairmont neighborhood to check out the original midcentury-modern glory. Along the Southern California coast, Tropical Storm Rachel flooded places like Long Beach, with some homes red-tagged and practically underwater. Plywood doesn’t keep the Pacific Ocean out of your living room. Newport Beach flooded too, but the wealthy Orange County city rolled out tractors and heavy machinery to throw up 20-foot sand berms. James Bola weighs about 520 pounds, eats in the weirdest combinations, and in this clip he’s dipping sticks of butter in frosting. He’s a mukbang influencer, and Conway’s a fan. Now we’re checking out the Domino’s order he had delivered for one. Timmy’s pet peeve is the doctor who calls after a heart screening or cancer test, leaves a message saying “call me back immediately,” then doesn’t pick up. It just happened to Mark after the tests from the fainting spell that took out his ankle. Mama Celeste is done — the parent company stopped production and the frozen pizzas are being phased out. Taylor Swift just hit 100 total weeks at the top of the Billboard 200. If you love In-N-Out but can’t stand the lines, there’s an underground market for drivers who’ll bring it to you. The chain doesn’t deliver, but people are offering the service on Facebook Marketplace for up to $50. And mosquitoes are swarming LA right now, unusual for this time of year, with many carrying West Nile. Two hundred people in SoCal have reported infection, and 10 have died. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 (10.12)   Mosquitoes are swarming Greater Los Angeles thanks to the unseasonable humidity, so the drill is standing water out, long sleeves on, and repellent. West Nile spreads through the bite of an infected mosquito. 

California is cracking down on the luxury-car “Montana loophole,” where residents have registered high-end vehicles there for years to dodge sales tax and registration fees. What’s the status of the California billionaire tax on the ballot? 

And 29 years ago today, John Denver was killed when the plane he was flying crashed. Live from the game: Rams 34, Bills 34 with five seconds left, then overtime. Timmy decrees that Stefoosh is Peter Sellers in “Being There.” No spoilers. He’s super nervous as the Rams head into OT against Mark’s team, then the flashback to the final moments of John Denver’s life and what caused the fatal crash. The Bills kicked a field goal in overtime and the Rams lost. They should have been measuring fingers for rings and are now on the brink of disaster. Timmy’s done with sports for the night — at least the Dodgers are still in it. 

Then the real question: How clean is your hotel room, and especially that carpet? Jet Stream Clean contracts with hotels from five stars to two, and the owner is here to say what he’s found on those communal carpets. Is the Ritz putting on the icks?

Hour 4 (10.12)  If Cleveland knocks off Florida and reaches the World Series, it pokes a hole in the “Dodgers just buy the trophy” crowd — Cleveland has the lowest payroll in the league. Then actress Selma Blair got into a mid-flight altercation on her way to New York, ended up in handcuffs facing two counts of assault, and could be looking at the no-fly list while the FBI investigates. 

Onetime Penthouse Pet Adva Lavie is back in court after her trial paused in August, accused of ripping off wealthy guys she met online. Timmy ran into her at a Super Bowl party, clocked the ankle bracelet, and she introduced him to Eric Swalwell. Mark still remembers making Bob Guccione the best cup of coffee of his life when he was a young intern, and he and Timmy trade stories about early days with stars from Rob Reiner to Nick Nolte to Dick Van Dyke.  

Mukbang influencer James Bola weighs about 520 pounds, eats in the weirdest combinations, and in this clip he’s dipping sticks of butter in frosting. Conway’s a fan. His Domino’s order for one: multiple large pizzas, 16 chicken wings, pasta, cheesy bread, two orders of lava cakes, two orders of cinnamon twists, and two large Diet Cokes — $158.62.  

Timmy’s pet peeve is the doctor who leaves an urgent “call me back immediately” message after a heart screening or cancer test, then doesn’t pick up. It just happened to Mark after the tests from the fainting spell that took out his ankle. Mama Celeste is done, production stopped, pies being phased out.  

And Taylor Swift just hit 100 total weeks at the top of the Billboard 200, a mark only the Beatles have beaten.

Hour 1 (10.09) Newport Beach declared a local emergency as Tropical Storm Rachel swells flooded the Balboa Peninsula, and the night’s high tide hadn’t even hit yet. Plus, a 7.7 in Panama and Hurricane Isaias. 

6:05 — Southern California’s rough week: flooding on the Balboa Peninsula, a 3.2 earthquake near Long Beach, a Porter Ranch water main break and several fires. Layoffs may be coming at Paramount Skydance, and Netflix is reportedly about to cut 5% of its staff. On the bright side, the Dodgers are headed to the NLCS. Also: a cubic yard of water weighs about 1,700 pounds. 

6:20 — Coastal flood warnings and high tides around 9 p.m. from Oceanside to Oxnard, with Dana Point near 6.5 feet. Swells from Tropical Storm Rachel combine with an El Niño Kelvin wave, a slow bulge of ocean water that can raise sea level by up to about a foot. Also, Chicago Bears legend Mike Ditka has died at 86. 

6:35 — Longtime listener Steve Early, a former Northridge resident, calls in from Perdido Key near Pensacola as Hurricane Isaias makes landfall near Destin as a Category 2. Tornadoes and widespread power outages are possible as the storm moves inland. 

6:50 — A 7.7 earthquake hits Panama, then a 6.6 about two and a half hours later. 7.7 releases roughly 32 times the energy of the 1994 Northridge quake, which was a 6.7. What it means for California, and why Southern California could be in for a long night.

Hour 2 (10.09) Skunks are tearing up Conway’s lawn hunting for grubs. Plus, the real sign one is about to spray, the time Conway got thrown out of a casino, and Fork Reporter Neil Saavedra is back. 

7:05 — Fork Reporter Neil Saavedra is back after stacking sandbags with his wife, and he has what might be the best promo KFI has ever made. Bill Handel is on safari in Africa. Then the question of the night: is TDS real? 

7:20 — The Conway Show passes 100K followers on Instagram at @conwayshow. Thanks to everyone who sent flooding videos. Conway is invited to a listener’s wedding tomorrow, but first he wants to know who’s catering. 

7:35 — Conway’s lawn has a skunk problem. Skunks dig small, shallow holes, about 1 to 3 inches across, while hunting for white grubs, earthworms and beetle larvae. If one stomps its front feet and raises its tail, back away. Plus, the Byrna less-lethal launcher Conway took to Vegas, the cameras watching you on the Strip, getting thrown out of a casino, and Lucha VaVoom. 

7:50 — Big families and sister wars. Kelly Conway has a master bedroom with a fireplace and windows on three sides. How old were you when you got a room like that? And tune into The Fork Report tomorrow, Saturday 2 to 5 p.m. on KFI. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 (10.09)Malibu’s new PCH speed cameras caught about 100,000 speeding violations in nine days, and they haven’t written a single ticket yet. Plus, Mike Ditka, NFL picks and a midnight sonic boom. If your EV sat in saltwater, park it at least 50 feet from your house. Flooded lithium-ion batteries can catch fire hours or even weeks later, with no warning. 

8:05 — Matt “Money” Smith on the death of legendary Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka. Then a check-in from Seal Beach, where low-lying neighborhoods are holding up so far, and a preview of Broncos at Chargers. 

8:20 — Malibu’s PCH speed cameras logged about 100,000 violations at four test sites in nine days. The 21-mile stretch has claimed more than 60 lives since 2010. Tickets haven’t started yet. A 60-day warning period is expected in November, and after that fines range from $50 to $500 depending on how fast you were going. Plus, the Panama earthquakes, more coastal flooding at high tide, and sweater weather on the way. 

8:35 — Handicapper Sammy Long (@TheSammyLong on X) gives his Week 5 NFL picks: the under in Eagles–Jaguars, the Chargers getting points at home against Denver, the 49ers getting points in Seattle, the Ravens getting points in Atlanta, and the over in Bills–Rams. 

8:50 — A midnight SpaceX launch from Vandenberg could set off sonic booms across Southern California. And Starbucks has reportedly explored buying Chipotle, which would reunite CEO Brian Niccol with the chain he used to run. Warning about electric vehicles and saltwater! Submerging an electric vehicle (EV) in saltwater creates a severe, delayed fire hazard due to the high electrical conductivity of salt water and lithium-ion battery chemistry

Hour 4 (10.09) Waves broke through the Long Beach Peninsula boardwalk; Newport says the tide ran higher than predicted, and the coast from Long Beach to Ventura braces Sunday. 

9:05 — Another high tide rolls in. Long Beach Peninsula homes are red tagged after waves broke through the bulkhead, and Orange County officials go over the damage and the areas they’re watching. Plus, a warning for EV owners: after Hurricane Helene, Florida counted 48 lithium-ion battery fires from salty floodwater, 11 of them in electric cars. If your EV is in saltwater, park it at least 50 feet from your house. 

9:20 — Newport Beach officials hold a press conference after assessing the damage. The Balboa Peninsula and Long Beach are the biggest concerns, and Newport has declared a local emergency. 

9:35 — Good news for tonight: this high tide is coming in lower than the mornings. But the risk lasts through the weekend, and Malibu’s Sea Level Drive is a big concern for Sunday. More from Newport’s press conference, where officials said the tide came in about 20 inches higher than predicted. Plus, what a tide valve is: Newport keeps 86 of them at street ends along the bay to stop rising water from pushing up through storm drains. 

9:50 — High tides, wind, heavy rain and an El Niño Kelvin wave all hit at once. South-facing beaches from Long Beach to Ventura face the worst flooding and erosion. Long Beach’s boardwalk is already damaged. Newport and Malibu have seen water in the streets and sinkholes near homes. Dana Point homes are still recovering from last month’s surf damage. A Stark Reminder of the Risks Faced by Electric Vehicle Owners. Newport Beach Mayor Lauren Kleiman texted us and said the berms seem to be holding now. So some good news

Hour 1 (10.08)  Timmy’s still floating after the Dodgers punched their NLCS ticket. His first game was 1969, and he still remembers the bloodbath when he smashed a McDonald’s ashtray in defeat and wound up in the ER. 

A fast-moving fire is burning near the I-5 in the Grapevine, Porter Ranch has a busted water main, and sweater weather finally shows up early next week. City of LA folks are choking on summer water and power bills. Not Timmy — he lives in the Valley. A Change.org petition, “Cap the Heat Tax,” wants an independent audit of LADWP. Soup Plantation, the buffet he loved, died in 2020 and is creeping back into California.  

Petros from “Petros & Money” called to test the gear and stayed to be naughty, which is how these two still get in trouble with management. The Padres went down in flames. Owner Jose E. Feliciano’s wife, Kwanza Jones, once won the Apollo and released “We Gonna Win.” Spoiler: They did not. Conway has almost perfected the UCLA clap. Slow learner, but a learner. This weekend is all Dodgers, plus a discussion of sticking a cold beer in a warm butt crack. Let’s find out. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 (10.08) Rough week for LAFD: An emergency truck flipped in South Los Angeles racing to a homeless encampment fire, both firefighters OK, and four more were hurt in a fridge explosion at a Silver Lake house. California and Texas remain two different planets. Death row here almost never ends in an execution. Texas uses a firing squad, and those are set to be televised.  

Costco’s Kirkland is somehow a fashion brand now. Some guy on the 5 was yelling at CHP and Caltrans to open the freeway — or he wasn’t. Clap, then snap. Timmy put $40 on the Padres to win the Series so they’d get wiped out, and now he’s off to Vegas to curse Milwaukee the same way. He’s still shocked his name isn’t on the Stanley Cup after betting against the LA Kings every game so they’d win two out of three. Hollywood filming money is back: Gavin Newsom says more than $1 billion in tax credits and 35 new films are coming to Greater LA, including the last “Friday,” with 30,000-plus cast, crew, and background. Air Supply finally gets a Hollywood Walk of Fame star this weekend. Timmy’s a fan. Atta boys. Then a quieter close: ten years ago today, Palm Springs Officer Lesley Zerebny — daughter of Timmy’s buddy, CHP Officer David Kling, a new mom who followed her dad into the job — was killed in the line of duty with her partner, veteran Officer Jose Gilbert Vega, two months from retirement. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 (10.08) Timmy took his daughter to Vegas for her 21st, which looked nothing like his own. Back then he and the boys chartered a bus for a pittance, hit Caesars to gamble legally for the first time, and his roommate blew $2,000 in minutes and fled Sin City. The replacement roommate was a little too naked.  

Laughing gas is on the way out in LA, with nitrous oxide headed for a recreational ban, and Starlink Wi-Fi is coming to American Airlines. Long Beach is in for a rough weekend: high tide, 30-foot waves, El Niño, Tropical Storm Rachel dumping rain, Kelvin waves Sunday, so get the sandbags. Tropical Storm Simon has strengthened into a hurricane in the Pacific, Big Bear is dropping toward snow, and there’s a fire in Chinatown with locals told to shelter in place.  

Gen Z is leaving LA, but not for Texas the way everybody assumed. U-Haul’s top five: Dallas, Houston, Bakersfield, Fresno, and — number one — San Francisco and the Bay Area. Chargers and Rams both play SoFi this weekend, so LA sports is stacked. And the new Burbank Airport finally opens for real on Tuesday after a renovation that felt endless, complete with mock flights to make sure the whole thing actually works. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 Hour 4 (10.08)LA city folks are opening summer utility bills and losing their minds — water, electricity, the whole sticker-shock package. Not Timmy. He lives in the Valley. A Change.org petition, “Cap the Heat Tax,” wants an independent audit of those LADWP heat-wave bills.  

Soup Plantation, the buffet he loved, died in 2020 and is clawing back into California. The salad bar lives. Bellio wants to know why Koo Koo Roo ever closed.  

Petros from “Petros & Money” called to test the gear and stayed. The Padres went down in flames. Owner Jose E. Feliciano’s wife Kwanza Jones won amateur night at the Apollo and released “We Gonna Win.” Spoiler: They did not in fact win.  

UCLA’s eight-clap is a mess — better than USC? Why did San Diego lose? Timmy put $40 on them. Never bet his predictions. He and Petros then get into a Dodgers three-peat and why players keep grabbing sports journalist David Vassegh’s nipples in the locker room.  

Some guy on the 5 was screaming at CHP and Caltrans to open the freeway. Or he wasn’t. Clap, then snap. Next curse: $40 on Milwaukee in Vegas. And Timmy’s still shocked his name isn’t on the Stanley Cup after he bet against the LA Kings every game so they’d win two out of three. You’re welcome, Los Angeles.

Hour 1 (10.07)  The Dodgers bounced Atlanta and are headed to the NLCS — yes, yes, yes — with Milwaukee or the Padres waiting, and eight wins from a Natty. Do they still say Natty, or is it Wussy? Timmy doesn’t care. He grew up a Dodgers fan and hasn’t been this wired since 1981, already talking parade if they match the last team to string three titles together.  

Then his old friend, Emmy-nominated author Brad Meltzer, stops by with the latest in the 40-book “I Am” series, “We Are the Wright Brothers,” to talk about putting good into the world, teaching kids history, and working with icons like Jane Goodall and Dolly Parton. Timmy’s editorial notes: add Caitlin Clark, Spielberg and Simone Biles are already on the list, and somebody needs to launch an “I Was” series starting with Bruce Jenner. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 (10.07)  Rick Monday called it before it happened, saying Andy Pages was “gonna put a charge into one of these soon,” and Pages did it with the go-ahead single in the seventh. Timmy nearly missed the win because he was stuck in an hour of workplace sexual harassment training, which goes pretty deep. His question: Do men whose equipment has retired still have to sit through it? “SNL” already did the sketch, so we play it.  

Then the KFI snack room, stocked like a high school vending machine, all spicy and Flaming Hot. Tim’s traffic idea: A brown spinning turd on the roof so everybody gets out of the way.  

Paramount Skydance swallowing Warner Bros. has Hollywood asking who’s next for layoffs. Corona was a parking lot this morning — a Caltrans slab job on the 91 ran long, and some Riverside commutes hit three hours. The heat wave has the mosquitoes out, including West Nile. One kid landed in the hospital with a rash and a fainting spell. Bring on the cooler air.  

Mario Solis of NBC Sports was in the Dodgers clubhouse after they closed out Atlanta, bottles popping. Three-peat talk is official. Go team.

Hour 3 (10.07) Say, did you hear the news? Your Los Angeles Dodgers are moving onto the NCAA! Sad news coming out of Malibu, with another family ripped apart, after 51-year-old Chef Ryo Uchimiya of Nobu was wiped out on the dangerous Pacific Coast Highway. He was sleeping in his car prior to his shift when a speeding 16-year-old driving a Range Rover smashed into the back of his vehicle, killing Uchimiya on impact. He leaves behind a wife and two children. There is also a city-wide national emergency in anticipation of El Nino, centering on Malibu. Will those fancy coastal towns survive the rising surf and incoming storms?

Timmy just returned from Las Vegas with the family to celebrate his daughter turning 21. It was 11:58 p.m., and the lady bartender made Timmy’s one and only stand outside ’til the clock struck midnight. How rude. He did leave his wallet in the bar, but it was easily traced back to Timmy because of all the photos of himself he keeps in there. Meanwhile, down in Orange County’s John Wayne Airport, a man from Washington trespassed and stole an airport tug — which only goes about five miles an hour — before stealing a lavatory truck. What a classy guy.

Hour 4 (10.07)  The Dodgers bounced Atlanta and are headed to the NLCS — yes, yes, yes — with Milwaukee or the Padres waiting, and eight wins from a Natty. Do they still say Natty, or is it Wussy? Timmy doesn’t care. He grew up a Dodgers fan and hasn’t been this wired since 1981, already talking parade if they match the last team to string three titles together.  

Then his old friend, Emmy-nominated author Brad Meltzer, stops by with the latest in the 40-book “I Am” series, “We Are the Wright Brothers,” to talk about putting good into the world, teaching kids history, and working with icons like Jane Goodall and Dolly Parton. Timmy’s editorial notes: Add Caitlin Clark, because Spielberg and Simone Biles are already on the list — and somebody needs to launch an “I Was” series starting with Bruce Jenner.

7:05 – Neil Saavedra, The Fork Reporter, joins for Friday Fun. Why do some people say "that's funny" instead of laughing? Jay Leno is caught on video driving around listening to the show, and another listener heard about Leno's ABC7 interview the same way. How many hearts have Bellio, Conway, and Saavedra broken?

7:05 Dean Sharp, The House Whisperer, is wearing a Kirkland fleece he got at Walmart, of all places. Then the real story: a developer is interested in buying Tim's house. SB 79, the Abundant and Affordable Homes Near Transit Act, took effect July 1, 2026. It lets developers build apartment buildings near qualifying rail and rapid-bus stops, even on single-family streets. Plus, the quiet ADU boom: LA County finished 10,230 ADUs in 2025, more than six times the number in 2018. 

7:20 More with Dean on how ADU approval works. If your plans meet state standards, your city has to approve them within 60 days. There's no design review, no hearing, and no neighbor appeal. In the coastal zone, a new 2026 law puts coastal permits for ADUs on the same 60-day clock.

8:35 Donny Osmond has extended his Harrah's Las Vegas residency through June 2027. It's a 90-minute show where the audience picks songs from his 65 albums, and he calls it "probably my favorite show I've ever done." Plus a Culver CityBus driver was shot and killed by a passenger after a dispute in Mar Vista, police say.

9:20 Dean Sharp, The House Whisperer, shows up in a Kirkland fleece from Walmart. Then a developer wants to buy Tim's house, and SB 79 could let them build big.

Hour 1 (09.30)While California’s gubernatorial hopefuls Xavier Becerra and Steve Hilton go at it, the morning news was a midair near-catastrophe: flydubai FZ1073, Dubai to Tel Aviv, copilot allegedly stabbed the captain and tried to put the jet into Israel. The plane dropped about 14,000 feet in seconds, the wounded captain got the door open, passengers rushed the cockpit, and it diverted to Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Everyone lived. Timmy says that cabin just spent a lifetime of luck — El Al or nothing if you’re flying into Israel — and one passenger is claiming he knew how to land a plane from watching TV. Where were the air marshals?  

NHL season is officially open. Prop 40, the “billionaire tax,” has already burned through $250 million in ads; California’s got roughly 250 billionaires, and if they bolt, the fine print could land on everybody else. And University of Georgia student Kristin Sargent danced off an eight-story couch-celebration, fell, and lived. Timmy’s old neighbor, an LA County fire captain, swore you might not walk away from the second floor. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 (09.30)There’s an arsonist hitting Woodland Hills, torching front-yard bushes across that stretch of the Valley, while Sherman Oaks businesses like the Pineapple Saloon just got 60 days to pack up so the landlord can remodel.  

Gavin signed two new bills: A real one that cracks down on copper theft, and cocktails-to-go extended through 2029. Timmy’s still asking who needs a to-go lid when you can mix one at the sink. After the break he “researched” whether bars pay more for booze than you do — they do, ding-dong.  

Dodgers prepping for a Saturday-Sunday Stadium set; three-peat talk is live, Philly or Atlanta TBD. And Washington’s finally pulling the plug on the Iraq mission that started in 2003 to take out Saddam. Timmy’s foreign-policy plan: air conditioning. It’s hot, and he thinks the heat’s making everybody nuts.

Hour 3 (09.30)LA County sales tax is already 9.75% and ticks up another half-cent October 1 — Oregon’s at zero, and Timmy wants to know who voted for this. He also remembers Burbank’s graffiti czar, who got busted tagging buildings so his crew would have work. In the yard, the Ficus he planted eight years ago are monsters thanks to Moon Valley Nurseries’ Supercharged Moon Juice; big trees, he says, are how you win a house in LA.  

California’s economy is outrunning the country on paper, job-hunters aren’t feeling it, and some stores are now pricing off what electronic tracking says you can afford.  

Live chaos: A robbery suspect leads police on a high-speed chase through El Monte and Baldwin Park, then up into the San Gabriel foothills westbound — foot bail — and they’ve got him. Landlines are sneaking back too: TinCan and Pinwheel Home are Wi-Fi “home phones” for kids who’ve never heard a dial tone. Never a dull moment.

Hour 4 (09.30) Timmy woke up to flydubai FZ1073, Dubai to Tel Aviv: the copilot allegedly stabbed Captain Smit Machchhar and tried to put the jet in the ground. It dropped about 14,000 feet in a blink; the wounded captain got the door open, passengers rushed the deck, spare pilots landed it in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Everybody lived. Timmy says that cabin spent a lifetime of luck — El Al or nothing into Israel — and one passenger claims he learned to land a plane off TV. Where were the air marshals?  

Prop 40’s billionaire tax is on the ballot in weeks; Gavin Newsom and Xavier Becerra are among those opposed. Newsom wants a national wealth tax instead. The top 1% already bankrolls about 38% of the state budget; if they leave, the hit lands on everyone else, with talk of 3.5 million losing healthcare if the money vanishes.  

And Newsom signed two bills: tougher penalties for copper theft, and cocktails-to-go extended through 2029. Timmy’s still asking who needs a lid on a bar drink when you’ve had six years to mix one at home.

Rod Stewart, 81, just announced 2027’s “Final Encore” as his last rock tour after six decades and a stretch that included heart surgery; Mark once spotted him with then-wife Alana at Le Petit Four on Sunset and later caught the Vegas set packed with “Maggie May” and “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” — lyrics discussion incoming.  

USC sat linebacker Desman Stephens II for a game after he targeted Oregon QB Dante Moore and celebrated while Moore was down. And Netflix has “We Got Company!” with Sebastian Maniscalco; first guest Jerry Seinfeld unpacks how he made it, and Timmy says the advice is worth a hundred grand. Watch it.

Hour 2 (09.28)Hurricane Polo is slamming Mexico’s Pacific coast, Nolo is pounding Hawaii, and El Niño has SoCal on coastal watch — Long Beach looking at monster tides and a flooded boardwalk.  

Then food: Langer’s by MacArthur Park takes the LA Times Gold, In-N-Out plants four more shops in Chino, Commerce, South El Monte, and Stockton, a man is camped on a Brentwood bus stop, and Fawnskin unveils a Jackie the eagle statue — same mountain town as a Kobe statue?  

Timmy’s been a “60 Minutes” kid since Andy Rooney (Colgate, like Mark), and Redlands wants bars dark after midnight over a three-year crime bump while liquor stores skate.  

Closing curveball: 13-year-old Long Island prodigy Joe Petraro-Hyppolite, IQ 168, is already in college and headed to NYU for a master’s. Timmy’s verdict: too young for campus — you can’t keep up with the older kids’ nightlife. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 (09.28)Big-box America knows you’re broke: ALDI is cutting prices on about a third of its stuff — seasonal produce included — through November 3; Walmart’s running Deal Days; Target’s cheap on candy, snacks, and cereal; and Amazon’s discounting fish, meat, and dairy. Then Bellio’s Starbucks-door story and her Andy Garcia story, which somehow end the same way.  

Disney+ and Hulu jack ad-free to $21.49-plus — stream-flation — while finding the actual game gets harder, and the FDA is close to a blood-cancer test.  

Replay of the Coliseum ugly: USC linebacker Desman Stephens II’s targeting hit on Oregon QB Dante Moore put him down hard; Moore’s expected to be OK with movement in all extremities, but Stephens and teammates celebrating while he was still on the field was a look nobody needed.  

Live now: a chase near LAX and Westchester turns into a foot pursuit with CHP on it. Mark’s MCing Kitten Rescue’s Fur Ball at the Skirball this weekend. And Dennis Haskins — Mr. Belding from “Saved by the Bell” — has died at 75.

Hour 4 (09.28) Rod Stewart, 81, just said 2027’s “Final Encore” (April start) is his last rock tour after six decades, heart surgery and canceled dates — mic stays, buses go. Mark once clocked him at Le Petit Four on Sunset with then-wife Alana, and later caught the Vegas jukebox of “Maggie May” and “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” Lyrics incoming.  

USC sat Desman Stephens II for targeting Oregon’s Dante Moore and celebrating while Moore was down; Lincoln Riley said unacceptable.  

Food hour: Langer’s by MacArthur Park wins the LA Times Gold, In-N-Out adds Chino, Commerce, South El Monte, and Stockton, a man is living on a Brentwood bus stop, and Fawnskin is getting a Jackie the eagle statue — same town as a Kobe statue?  

Timmy’s been a “60 Minutes” lifer since Andy Rooney (Colgate, like Mark), and Redlands wants bars shut after midnight over a three-year crime bump while liquor stores keep pouring.

Hour 1 (09.25)Over 200 olive ridley sea turtle eggs, from the first natural sea turtle nests ever confirmed on the West Coast, got rushed off Seal Beach and Huntington Beach before Hurricane Polo's surf arrives. 

6:05 – Hurricane Polo won't hit SoCal directly, but its swells are headed for Malibu, Long Beach and Seal Beach, with high surf expected Sunday through Tuesday. Long Beach has declared a local emergency for the peninsula. We also revisit Duke's Malibu, the PCH landmark that got buried in mud and floodwater after the Palisades Fire. 

6:20 – The Quick Dam Insta-Dam is a flexible polyurethane barrier that blocks water, oil and chemicals without absorbing them. Every little bit helps. A late monsoonal storm set off mudflows in the San Bernardino Mountains, and its apple season: Oak Glen Steak House and U-Pick orchards. 

6:35 – KTLA's Chip Yost, one of the best reporters in SoCal, is on sea turtle watch. Biologists moved more than 200 eggs from two nests to the Aquarium of the Pacific, where they could hatch in 45 to 60 days, around early November. Olive ridleys lay their eggs and leave them. The sea turtles are the new eaglets, and no, we're not naming them like Jackie and Shadow. 

6:50 – McDonald's is exploring bowls, grilled chicken and egg bites for GLP-1 users and anyone who wants more protein. Plus: Burger King's new nuggets are good.

Hour 2 (09.25)LA firefighters answered 12,241 homeless and encampment fires from Jan. 1 to Sept. 20, about 47 a day. Plus: Madonna returns to the VMAs for the first time in 23 years. 

7:05 – Falling in love with a stripper at a bachelor party: it happens more than you'd think. Fast food prices are out of control, so here are the hacks that actually save you money. The VMAs are this Sunday in LA for the first time in nine years. Snoop Dogg hosts, Madonna opens the show; Taylor Swift receives the first-ever Artist Director Honors and premieres her "Patient Zero" video, and Raye, Sombr and Teddy Swims pay tribute to George Michael. 

7:20 – Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell declared September 25 Dolly Day, a nod to "9 to 5." The city glowed pink; venues played the song at 5 p.m., businesses raised money for charities including Dolly's Imagination Library, and fireworks went off downtown at 9:25. 

7:35 – A burglary suspect was found hiding in a Sherman Oaks dumpster under a pile of leaves. He broke into cars, then forced his way into an older woman's apartment. She got out safely, and two neighbors cornered him in the garage and pepper-sprayed him until police arrived. It was like a movie. 

7:50 – LAFD data shows 12,241 homeless and encampment-related fires between January 1 and September 20, 2026. That's about 47 a day, with the worst of it along the 10 Freeway corridor and on Skid Row. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 (09.25)Tim makes his case for Karen Bass over Nithya Raman in the LA mayor's race. Plus: two-time Kentucky Derby-winning trainer Doug O'Neill and Sammy Long's NFL picks. 

8:05 – Christmas deals are already out, and Christmas Eve is three months away. Almost half of shoppers start in October or earlier. Did you ever dig through your parents' closet looking for your presents? 

8:20 – The best holiday bike story you've ever heard. Doug O'Neill won the Kentucky Derby with I'll Have Another in 2012 and Nyquist in 2016, and he's won graded stakes races at every level. More at DougONeillRacing.com. 

8:35 – Sammy Long of "Not Quite Ringside" on AM 570 LA Sports (@thesammylong on X) went two-for-three last week. His picks for Sunday, at Friday's lines: Ravens-Cowboys under 52.5, Chiefs -10.5 at Miami, Bucs +1.5 at Minnesota, Texans-Colts under 42.5, and Broncos +2.5 vs. the Rams. 

8:50 – Mayor Karen Bass faces Councilmember Nithya Raman in the Nov. 3 runoff. Tim admits Bass has had her troubles but says she's still the move, and Raman's record on policing is where he draws the line.

Hour 4 (09.25) Nashville turned pink and lit up fireworks at 9:25 p.m. for its first Dolly Day, a month after Dolly Parton died at 80. Plus: Sherman Oaks neighbors pepper-sprayed a burglar. 

9:05 – The Quick Dam Insta-Dam is a flexible polyurethane barrier that blocks water, oil and chemicals without absorbing them. Every little bit helps. The olive ridley sea turtle eggs are safe at the Aquarium of the Pacific, and no, we're not naming them like Jackie and Shadow. A late monsoonal storm set off mudflows in the San Bernardino Mountains, and its apple season: Oak Glen Steak House and U-Pick orchards. 

9:20 – KTLA's Chip Yost, one of the best reporters in SoCal, is on a sea turtle watch. More than 200 eggs from the first natural sea turtle nests ever confirmed on the West Coast were moved from Seal Beach and Huntington Beach before this weekend's big surf.

Hour 1 (09.24)Mayor Karen Bass is here, and she trails Nithya Raman 39% to 28% in the new Berkeley IGS/LA Times poll, with a third of voters undecided and the runoff on Nov. 3. 

6:05 Mayor Karen Bass joins Tim on the race and the city. The Berkeley IGS/LA Times poll (Sept. 15–20) has Councilmember Nithya Raman up 11 points. Among voters ages 18 to 29, Raman leads 66% to 4%. 

6:20 Homelessness in the city of L.A. rose 3.4% in the 2026 count, to 45,194 people, after two straight years of declines. Bass blames federal and state funding cuts, the cost of living, and gaps in L.A. County services. Her office says street homelessness is still down about 11% since she took office in 2023. 

6:35 With the World Cup behind us, Super Bowl LXI at SoFi in February 2027 and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games are next. Bass is using those deadlines to push infrastructure fixes, cleanup and housing that she says will outlast the Games. 

6:50 Bailee Rios, 36, of Simi Valley, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and DUI charges in the Sept. 15 Chatsworth crash involving a Metro bus. She was wheeled into court on a gurney and is being held on $4.1 million bail. Her preliminary hearing is Nov. 2.

Hour 2 (09.24)Hurricane Polo is sending dangerous surf and rip currents toward SoCal beaches Sunday through Tuesday. Plus, the Lakers lose Lawrence Tanter, their arena voice since 1982. 

7:05 Paramount's takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, worth more than $110 billion, hit a snag. U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín gave the "Block the Merger" coalition time to object to Paramount's settlement with California and other states. Paramount owes Warner Bros. Discovery $7 million a day starting Oct. 1 if the deal isn't approved. Also, a bipartisan bill in Congress would create a 20% federal tax credit for film and TV made in the U.S. 

7:20 Hurricane Polo is churning off Mexico's Pacific coast. SoCal won't take a direct hit, but high surf, rip currents and big morning tides could bring coastal flooding and erosion Sunday through Tuesday. 

7:35 Knicks star Jalen Brunson hosts the Saturday Night Live Season 52 premiere Sept. 26. He's the fifth NBA player to host, after Bill Russell (1979), Michael Jordan (1991), Charles Barkley (1993, and three more times since) and LeBron James (2007). Then Dallas Raines joins with the latest on Hurricane Polo. 

7:50 Lawrence Tanter, the voice of Lakers home games from 1982 until his retirement this year, has died at 76, weeks after entering hospice care. "It's been a blessing," he said when he entered hospice. Also, a string of late-night break-ins has hit Encino, Sherman Oaks and the Hollywood Hills, with burglars smashing glass doors to get in.

Hour 3 (09.24)Chargers voice Matt "Money" Smith remembers Lakers PA legend Lawrence Tanter. Plus, the NFL fines Kyle Juszczyk $14,926 for pretending to chug a beer. 

8:05 Matt "Money" Smith, co-host of Petros & Money on AM 570 LA Sports and radio play-by-play voice of the Chargers, joins Tim on the loss of Lawrence Tanter. Tanter was the voice of Lakers home games from 1982 until his retirement this year. Then there's the $1,300 Montblanc pen. Who is actually buying these? 

8:20 More with Money on the Chargers and Clippers. The NFL fined 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk $14,926 for pretending to chug a beer after a touchdown against the Dolphins, calling it an "offensive demonstration." His response: "And I don't even drink beer!" Also, the LAX People Mover is delayed again, now to early 2027. The project was supposed to open in 2023 and costs more than $3 billion. 

8:35 Matt, a listener who won Chargers tickets, sent a thank-you: a box of Mario Lopez full-body flushable wipes. 

8:50 Former Fox News producer Jennifer Eckhart has died at 36. She spent five years in a legal fight with former anchor Ed Henry, and she called it "exhaustive" and "retraumatizing." If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988.

Hour 4 (09.24)  9:05 — Mayor Bass acknowledged an expected citywide increase in homelessness, attributing the uptick to reduced federal and state funding, higher cost-of-living pressures, and a lack of adequate services from L.A. County. However, her office maintains that overall homelessness in Los Angeles is still down by roughly 11% compared to when she took office in 2023 

9:20 — Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has framed the city's upcoming lineup of massive global sporting events—the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the 2027 Super Bowl, and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games—as a critical catalyst for cleaning up the city, overhauling infrastructure, and addressing homelessness. Her core strategy uses these global deadlines to force urgent civic improvements that directly benefit everyday Angelenos   

9:35 — Paramount + WB merger has hit a sign-off snag. Production has a new legislature  incentive 

9:50 — Matt “Money” Smith, Host of Petros & Money on AM 570 KLAC on the loss of legendary Lakers announcer Lawrence Tanter. Money is also the radio PXP announcer for the L.A. Chargers.

Hour 1 (09.23) Timmy was out in the San Fernando Valley visiting his college-kid daughter and got a fresh reminder that rush hour out there is a nightmare — which is exactly why he lives less than two miles from KFI HQ instead of Huntington Beach. Also, Prius drivers: Why are they the worst? He got his license the day he turned 16 — well, he failed that day and had to go back to the DMV the next morning. Freedom! 

Tomorrow his in-studio guest is Mayor Karen Bass, who according to the polls is trailing Nithya Raman in the L.A. mayor’s race. It’s been one long, exhausting summer of breaking news — floods, a helicopter crash, a bus accident, and that Boyle Heights warehouse fire that burned for eight days and stunk up the neighborhood for two months. Time to breathe. 

If you’re a Norm Macdonald fan, Judd Apatow’s documentary “The Tale of Norm Macdonald” hits Netflix on October 16. Story time: Timmy once visited a friend on the Fox lot, handed his valet ticket to a guy he thought was the attendant — and it was Bob Saget, who was not thrilled. If any Sagets are listening, Conway says he’s sorry. 

Millions of California households may get an automatic credit on their electricity bills after that AC-heavy summer. And Harvey Weinstein was sentenced again, this time to 15 years — Timmy calling Hollywood hypocritical for shouting “silence is violence” after decades of rumors before justice finally came.

Hour 2 (09.23) “Wake Up Call’s” Amy King is staying up way past her 5 a.m. bedtime to talk Dodgers with Timmy — and her Friday leap off a 260-foot building for Union Rescue Mission’s Over the Edge fundraiser. Watch her go over around noon, or drop $1,000 and take the plunge yourself at urm.org/ote. Follow @AmyKayKing for a peek. 

Love is in the air until the check hits the table: New Zelle research says 52% of Gen Z daters have ghosted, blocked or unfollowed someone after promising to pay them back. Going Dutch is now a disappearing act, and some are even going into debt to keep the social calendar alive. 

Breaking in La Verne: a lithium-ion battery fire at the Metropolitan Water District has evacuation orders in effect. Across town, Santa Monica’s 1941 pier sign is coming down for a Vegas makeover while the bridge gets rebuilt. A nor’easter is pounding the East Coast while Hurricane Polo eyes California. Winter in SoCal could be all rain or no rain, so if you’re in a flood zone, FEMA flood insurance is on Timmy’s mind. 

And yesterday in MacArthur Park, instead of the usual grim headlines, Justin Bieber popped up with three musicians for a no-stage, no-tickets surprise set. Radical.

Hour 3 (09.23)Taylor Swift just dropped word of four new songs, kicking off with the single “Patient Zero” and a run of collector CDs — and Travis Kelce isn’t going anywhere. Speaking of scams, Super Bowl LXI is coming to LA next Valentine’s Day, so don’t bite on those “too good to be true” hotel deals; prices are about to go nuclear. The leftovers of Mexico’s Hurricane Polo could still swipe Orange County and Long Beach and peel more sand off beaches already chewed up by the last storm that hammered Huntington. We’ve never seen SoCal like this.  

Mayor Karen Bass is on with Tim tomorrow at 6 p.m. — hit TalkBacks if you’ve got a question. Huntington’s Pacific Airshow is October 2–4.  

In Riverside, two brothers got popped for impersonating cops, and the driver was already on probation. Ding-dongs.  

A Burbank physical therapist got rinsed for about $2,000 in bogus Zelle charges — Julia MacFarland, we’re onto you. And those license-plate readers everybody hates? The two-month pause is over. LAPD is expanding them, but with tighter rules and shorter storage times on the photos.

Hour 4 (09.23) Timmy revisits the night he mistook Bob Saget for a valet and lived to apologize on the air. In Michigan, a guy pulled into a driveway that had been poured minutes earlier — cue the bobcat, the wrecked concrete and a whole new slab.  

Search called off for a Carnival Cruise passenger who went overboard 56 miles from Puerto Vallarta on a ship bound for Long Beach. Heartbreaking. KFI’s own Amy King is on the line ahead of Friday’s Over the Edge rappel down a 26-story downtown building for Union Rescue Mission — not just a bed for the night, but a path off the street, with about 80% of clients making it out and up. Donate at urm.org/ote. Atta girl, Amy.  

Gen Z’s newest dating ick is the check: Zelle says 52% have ghosted, blocked or unfollowed after promising to Venmo their half. One in five have gone into debt — or tapped the Bank of Mom and Dad — just to keep dating.  

La Verne remains under evacuation after a lithium-ion fire at MWD’s Weymouth plant. Santa Monica’s 1941 pier sign is headed to Vegas for a makeover while the bridge gets rebuilt. A nor’easter is pounding the East Coast, Hurricane Polo is eyeing California, and we haven’t had a single volcano this year — a 112-year first that has folks talking monster El Niño. Get the flood insurance.

Hour 1 (09.21) The new Hollywood Burbank Airport terminal finally has an opening date, bringing major upgrades to one of Southern California's favorite airports. Plus, Chris Booker drops stories about Drew Carey, Sam Simon, and a rumor he's been trying to shake for years.

6:20 — Tim is losing patience with drivers at the iHeart parking structure who keep squeezing into spots inches from his car. The conversation shifts to Bellio's car troubles and Tim's attempt to lend his aging vehicle to her while hers is in the shop. 

6:35 — Tim looks ahead to the opening of the new Hollywood Burbank Airport terminal. He breaks down the upgraded passenger experience, expanded amenities, and why the airport's long-awaited modernization has him excited.

7:05 — Michael Gates, the Republican candidate for California attorney general and former Huntington Beach city attorney, joins Tim to discuss his campaign, public safety priorities, and his case for becoming the state's top law enforcement official.

The controversy stems from the restaurant's connection to the 2001 killing of Bonny Lee Bakley, which followed a dinner there with Noah's father, Robert Blake.

8:05 — Carrot Top, whose real name is Scott Thompson, is recovering after a reported suicide attempt that led to the cancellation of his long-running Las Vegas show. Tim recalls interviewing him alongside Adam Carolla and explains why the comedian left such a positive impression.  

8:20 — Tim and Crozier swap stories about legendary comedian Gallagher. The conversation then turns to an extraordinary discovery in Orange County, where endangered olive ridley sea turtles laid eggs in what officials say is the first recorded natural sea turtle nesting on the U.S. West Coast. Some advocates are calling for nearby events to minimize impacts on the nesting sites.  

8:35 — Simone Biles revealed that three masked men stole her Porsche GTS from her Chicago-area home before she and husband Jonathan Owens moved away. The vehicle was later recovered, and Biles says the incident helped convince the couple to get a Doberman for security. Tim also discusses Long Beach preparations as communities monitor conditions associated with a strengthening El Niño.

Hour 1 (09.21)  Mark’s limping into the Conway castle with a mystery ankle, a Chargers-shaped hole in his wallet, and Petros Papadakis of “Petros and Money” booming in for backup — while Timmy takes a “We Buy Junk Cars” card on his 2020 luxury ride as a personal insult. The losing streak continues: $14,000 at the track, then a dead Arby’s gift card in Long Beach (hold the cheese). Mark remembers poker with late “Simpsons” creator Sam Simon, who got clipped for $600 by ALT 98.7’s Booker, and some ranking of L.A.-born radio legends has Conway at No. 46. F them. Tomorrow’s the first day of fall; September 26 is LA’s equal-day-and-night equinox. Paramount and Warner Bros. settle the multi-state antitrust fight: Rob Bonta says they stay put instead of fleeing to Nashville or Atlanta, the merger can proceed on those terms, and the Writers Guild gets $7.5 million. Bellio’s a sweetheart — Marilyn’s old psychic Kenny Kingston would say so — Mark’s telethon psychic promised him $3,394 (didn’t happen), and a doctor at a Walk for Autism quietly ran Timmy through the seven screening questions (also didn’t happen). 

6:05 —Hobbling Mark is in the house with Timmy Conway Jr. and special cameo guest, the bellowing-voiced Petros Papadakis from the “Petros and Money” show! They’re chitchatting about Marky Mark’s mysterious broken ankle and the LA Chargers, who are apparently in big trouble this season and therefore, Mark is losing moolah. Timmy is rather offended about the “We Buy Junk Cars” business card that was placed on his luxury vehicle, which is a 2020 model. 

6:20 — Timmy lost $14,000 gambling at the track this weekend. To console himself, he went to Arby’s in Long Beach and because he was cleaned out, he had to use a gift card — that didn’t end up working, even without the cheese. Mark recalls the time he played in a poker game with late creator of “The Simpsons,” Sam Simon, who got ripped off by Booker of ALT 98.7’s “Booker & Stryker” fame to the tune of $600. We also find out that of the all-time most popular radio personalities born and raised in LA, Timmy is rated No. 46. F them. 

6:35 — Tomorrow is the first day of fall! On September 26 we have equinox day in LA — that’s the only day of the year when we have daylight and nighttime equally. And now to the Paramount and Warner Bros. merger: The two companies were sued by multiple states for violating antitrust law, but California AG Rob Bonta has just announced that the entertainment giants have reached a deal that means they will not move headquarters to Nashville or Atlanta, and the merger is able to go ahead, provided they adhere to the terms of the agreement. The Writers Guild receives $7.5 million as part of the deal. 

6:50 — Is Conway producer Bellio a sweet spirit? She sure is! Marilyn Monroe’s favorite and only psychic Kenny Kingston, who never paid for parking, would agree with that sentiment. Speaking of which, Mark had a peculiar interaction with a psychic at a telethon, who predicted he would come into $3,394. Spoiler: He did not. Also, Timmy recalls the time he was at a Walk for Autism event and a doctor slyly asked him the seven questions doctors ask to see if someone has autism. Spoiler: He did not.

Hour 2 (09.21)Timmy caught a stunner of a Huntington Beach sunset Saturday, then reality: El Niño is pointed at LA, Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency, and Conway’s shopping flood insurance like everybody else who’s sick of home premiums, HOAs, and special assessments. Mark’s ankle has him in full James Caan “Misery” mode — hobbling, bedbound, miserable — but newlywed Courtney is no Annie Wilkes; she’s at the pet store grabbing supplies for two new kittens. The El Niño emergency is for weather that isn’t even here yet: high tides, floods, winter storms, snow if it gets ugly. Nicolas Cage’s place on Malibu’s Sea Level Drive is already red-tagged after a sinkhole opened in front of it and blocked the street, plus there’s a new garage-door scam making the rounds. Timmy hits a live Rams–Giants update (no spoilers), then Newport’s vanishing beach: they’re hauling 200,000 cubic yards of sand — a football field 3.5 feet deep — from the West Newport river bottom down to The Wedge before the surf eats more coast. 

7:05 — Timmy was on beautiful Huntington Beach Saturday night and enthralled by the sunset. El Nino is on its way to LA, so Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency. Timmy is shopping for new flood insurance for his home. The crew (and the entire world) agrees that they are no fans of the exorbitant cost of home insurance, HOAs and special assessments.  

7:20 — Mark is griping about his destroyed ankle, how it makes him feel like James Caan in “Misery,” bedbound, hobbling and utterly miserable. So, does that make his beautiful newlywedded wife Courtney the Kathy Bates character Annie Wilkes? Hardly, she’s at the pet store right now picking up pet supplies for the two new kitties they’re adopting! 

7:35 — To Gavin Newsom’s state of emergency because of El Nino, which isn’t here yet. How d we prepare and capitalize on this strange weather event, which might not even happen? Worst case scenario is high tides, flooding, winter storms and snow. Nicholas Cage’s home on Malibu’s Sea Level Drive has already been red tagged because of the giant sinkhole that opened up in front of it, blocking access to other homes along the street. Also, we now must be aware of the latest scam involving garage doors.  

7:50 — Timmy gives us a live Rams vs. New York Giants update. Won’t spoilt it for you here! To Newport Beach and its disappearing sand thanks to El Nino, they’re having to ship 200,000 cubic yards of sand (enough to fill one football field with 3.5 feet of sand) from West Newport Beach’s river bottom to Orange County’s Wedge thanks to crashing, heavy surf that’s eroded the coastline.

Hour 3 (09.21)Timmy’s been a lifelong Rams guy since the third grade, rocking that old white-and-blue jacket every day until the team switched to yellow and blue and little Timothy upgraded on the spot — which is still a happier fate than his cousin, a die-hard Detroit Lions fan still reeling from Matthew Stafford bolting to LA.  

Do not take Mark’s bookie tips, because Mr. Cankle cannot catch a break at the windows. Tragic news out of South LA, where a worker at a senior living facility opened fire in the lobby and seriously wounded three coworkers.  

Marky Mark and Timmy Tim agree TV and streaming have never been better — back in Tim’s day, NBC, CBS and ABC had lawyers and sponsors breathing down their necks, and now streaming has forced everybody to raise their game. Over the weekend, a man rode trains and buses all over the West Coast while spreading measles. And Dolly Parton gets her day in California on September 25 — nine to five, get it?  

The Chargers may be in the doldrums, but the 49ers haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1994 and the Cowboys since 1995. Check out Mark on YouTube with “The Mark Thompson Show”! 

8:05 —Did you know? Timmy is a lifelong Rams fan and used to wear his white-and-blue Rams jacket to school every day in the Third Grade. Then the team changed their colors to yellow and blue, so Lil Timothy upgraded. He’s fared so much better than his cousin who is a lifelong Detroit Lions fan and is devastated that Matthew Stafford left and went to LA. 

8:20 — Do not take Mark’s advice at the bookies because Mr. Cankle cannot catch a break when it comes to betting. To the tragedy today at a senior living facility in South LA, where a worker there got miffed about having to, y’know, work, so he grabbed a handgun and opened fire in the lobby, seriously wounding three of his coworkers. 

8:35 — Marky Mark and Timmy Tim agree that TV and streaming shows have never been better. When Tim was growing up, NBC, CBS and ABC had lawyers constantly telling them what they could or couldn’t do, plus commercial concerns, so now the bar has been raised, what with streaming forcing networks to up their creative game. Over the weekend, a man was riding trains and buses all over the West Coast, spreading measles. And now, Dolly Parton will have her day in California on September 25. Geddit? Nine to five! 

8:50 — The Chargers may presently be in the doldrums, but did you know last time the San Francisco 49ers won a Super Bowl was in 1994?! And the last time the Dallas Cowboys won was in 1995! Check out Mark on YouTube with “The Mark Thompson Show”!

Hour 4 (09.21)  Mark hobbles in with a mystery ankle and a Chargers-sized dent in his bankroll, Petros Papadakis of “Petros and Money” piles on with that foghorn voice, and Timmy finds a “We Buy Junk Cars” card on his 2020 luxury ride — ding-dong, it’s not a junker. The losing streak includes $14,000 at the track and a penance Arby’s in Long Beach with no drink.  

Mark remembers poker with late “Simpsons” creator Sam Simon getting clipped for $600 by ALT 98.7’s Booker, and an L.A.-born radio ranking has Conway at No. 46. F them. Bellio’s a sweetheart (Kenny Kingston would agree), Mark’s telethon psychic promised $3,394 (nope), and a Walk for Autism doctor ran Timmy through the seven screening questions (also nope).  

Then cat chaos: The Conway house once had 22 of them, they gave most away at Gelson’s including Mom’s favorite, a store wouldn’t let her take an indoor-only cat, so Timmy pretended he wasn’t her son to adopt it. The pile-on was immense. 

9:05 — Mark Thompson’s limping into the Conway castle with a mystery ankle and a lighter wallet — the Chargers are tanking and taking his bets with them. Petros Papadakis of “Petros and Money” drops in with that foghorn voice to pile-on. Then Timmy finds a “We Buy Junk Cars” card on his 2020 ride and takes it personally. It’s a luxury car, ding-dong, not a junker. 

9:20 — Timmy dropped $14,000 at the track this weekend — and the humiliation tour continued at an Arby’s in Long Beach, where he purposefully did not buy himself a drink, as an exercise in self punishment. Mark flashes back to a poker table with the late “Simpsons” creator Sam Simon, who got taken for $600 by ALT 98.7’s Booker. Then the insult: Some all-time LA-born radio ranking puts Conway at No. 46. F them. 

9:35 — Bellio’s a sweet spirit — even Marilyn Monroe’s old psychic Kenny Kingston (the guy who never paid for parking) would back that up. Mark once got a telethon psychic who swore he’d come into $3,394. He did not. Timmy remembers a Walk for Autism where a doctor quietly ran him through those seven screening questions. Also not a match. Two spoilers, zero jackpots. 

9:50 — Mark is a cat lover, as was the Conway household when Timmy was a lad. At one point, the Conways had 22 cats meowing around the house! So much so, they gave most of them away at the local Gelson’s, and unfortunately that included Mrs. Conway’s beloved cat. She tried to adopt another purrer, but the pet store wouldn’t allow it because the cat in question was an indoor cat only, so Timmy had to go in and pretend he was unrelated to his mom so he could adopt it for her. The pile-on was immense!

Hour 1 (09.18) She was wheeled into a San Fernando courtroom on a gurney to face murder charges — and never made it in front of a judge. Plus, the losses of LA's news community is still absorbing. 

6:05 — Bailee Lynn Rios, the Simi Valley woman charged in Tuesday's Metro bus crash in Chatsworth, arrived at Superior Court in San Fernando by ambulance and was wheeled in on a gurney, but never appeared before the judge. She faces murder, DUI and reckless-driving charges; bail is $4.03 million. A new video shows her bloodied in the wrecked SUV moments after impact. Investigators say they found hard drugs in her car, and a family friend says addiction had taken over her life in recent years. Also: a heartbreaking week for L.A. and for this news community. 

6:20 — A new study in Scientific Data puts Greenland and Antarctica's ice loss at 12.5 trillion tons since the 1970s, and here's the part nobody expects: roughly five-sixths of it came from warm ocean water eating the glaciers from underneath, not from sunshine melting the top. Meanwhile, the ocean took a bite out of Nicolas Cage's Malibu house — a 30-by-30-foot sinkhole swallowed the driveway, triggered a gas leak, and got five oceanfront homes red-tagged. 

6:35 — George Marciniw, the pilot killed in the NBC4 news helicopter crash, was Burbank High class of '74 and never really left the neighborhood — the Blue Room knew him. A longtime colleague says he "flew that helicopter just like a feather." 

6:50 — An installer on a GFiber job in Irvine asked a customer to hand over her phone to "test the Wi-Fi," then texted an explicit video from it to himself, police say. Logan Edward Gray-McCannon, 37, of Hemet is charged with commercial burglary, unauthorized computer access and sharing a private sexual image — and Irvine PD believes there are more victims. Plus, the iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max and the foldable iPhone Duo hit stores today.

Hour 2 (09.18) Conway saysA.I. isn't smart at all — and Neil's going off the roof of a 25-story hotel to raise money for Skid Row. Plus, the best burger in L.A. is also the simplest one. 

7:05 — Neil Saavedra, KFI's Fork Reporter, throws down a climate change-and-A.I. challenge: is this the end of the world, or is the whole thing oversold? His argument is that A.I. isn't smart at all — its reductionism dressed up as intelligence. Is Siri even A.I.? A walk through the different types, and why everything in this world matters. 

7:20 — National Cheeseburger Day, and the best burger in L.A. turns out to be the plainest one on the menu. Meat, cheese, bun, done. The case against everything else you're paying for. 

7:35 — Neil is going Over the Edge for Union Rescue Mission — rappelling 25 stories down the side of the Universal Hilton, September 25 and 26, to fund beds and meals on Skid Row. Every rappeler raises at least $1,000 to get on the rope. 

7:50 — Winning in life isn't the scoreboard. It's being grateful for what you already have instead of keeping a running tally of what you don't.

Hour 3 (9.18) An unattended hose put about 7,000 gallons into a pool above Wilcox Avenue and took the hillside out from under it. Plus, Sushiya is closing after 28 years on Sunset. 

8:05 — LAFD says a hose left running to fill a swimming pool sent roughly 7,000 gallons into the slope above the 1900 block of North Wilcox Avenue, pressurizing a retaining wall until it failed Friday afternoon. Cinder's blocks hit a vacant building below; eight apartment units on Grace Avenue were evacuated and later cleared, and crews siphoned the water out in about 90 minutes. Also: Sushiya, the sushi room at 8650 Sunset in Sunset Plaza, closes September 29 after 28 years. 

8:20 — WDCD — What Did Conway Do? A Jamba Juice predicament, and the larger confession underneath it: Conway physically cannot send something back. Bad smoothie, wrong order, fly in the soup — he drinks it, eats it, says thank you. Plus, where the best street tacos actually are. 

8:35 — Sammy Long from Not Quite Ringside on AM 570 KLAC with his picks for Sunday: Packers over the Jets, Texans over the Bengals, Chargers over the Raiders, Jaguars over the Broncos, and Washington over Dallas. 

8:50 — We close the week remembering Eliana Moreno and George Marciniw of NewsChopper4, and Edy Gutierrez Mejia on the ground, after Tuesday's crash in Chatsworth. The helicopter was covering a Metro bus collision a few blocks away when it went down.

Hour 4 (9.18) The best burger in Los Angeles isn't the $38 one with bordelaise sauce on it. Neil Saavedra stops in to argue about climate change, explain why A.I. isn't actually smart, and then go off a building. 

9:05 — A new study in Scientific Data puts Greenland and Antarctica's ice loss at 12.5 trillion tons since the 1970s, and the surprise is where it's going: roughly five-sixths of that loss comes from warm ocean water eating the glaciers from underneath, not sunshine melting the top. Meanwhile, the ocean took its own bite out of Nicolas Cage's Malibu house — a 30-by-30-foot sinkhole swallowed the driveway and got five oceanfront homes red-tagged. 

9:20 — Neil Saavedra, the Fork Reporter, brings the climate change and A.I. challenge. Is this the end of the world? And is A.I. smart at all, or are we just calling pattern-matching "intelligence"? Is Siri A.I.? What the different types of A.I. actually are, why reductionism gets it wrong, and the case that everything in this world matters. 

9:35 — The best burger in L.A. is a simple burger. Time Out's #1 is a $38 double at Petit Trois with house made bordelaise; the Apple Pan's hickory burger is $11.25 and has been on the same griddle since 1947. Bills in Van Nuys will make you a bacon cheeseburger for nine dollars. Two patties, cheese, sauce, bun. That's it. 

9:50 — Neil is going Over the Edge for Union Rescue Mission — rappelling 25 stories down the side of the Universal Hilton on September 25 and 26 to fund beds, meals, recovery and job training on Skid Row. Every rappeler must raise at least $1,000 to get on the rope, and URM says 87 cents of every dollar goes straight to the programs. Sign up or sponsor at urm.org/ote.

Atlanta holds the head-to-head tiebreaker, so Los Angeles must finish a game clear of the Braves to avoid playing in the wild-card series.Conway has been doing something odd for 50 years since he started driving.

7:05 — Paramount tells Mayor Bass and AG Rob Bonta it's preparing to leave California after more than 100 years, as the state's antitrust suit stalls its $110 billion Warner Bros. Discovery merger. We look at what it means for Hollywood jobs. 

7:20 — How was your prom? Conway remembers the night his date came from money. 

7:35 — Tesla's cameras mistake headstones, statues, and flower arrangements for people, and the car's screen fills with "ghosts." It's called machine pareidolia, the AI version of seeing faces in clouds. Plus, Domino's personal pizzas. 

7:50 — A new CDC report finds about 1 in 6 adults feel very tired or exhausted most days or every day. Women report it more than men, younger adults more than seniors, and frequent fatigue often travels with anxiety and depression. What is my purpose in life?

Hour 3 (9.17) After 25 years in LA, American Idol is leaving for Atlanta, the latest show chasing Georgia's tax credits. Plus: Undercover kids bought pills at an Anaheim swap meet. 

8:05 — Conway's old job delivering tickets and swag for KIIS-FM. Anaheim police arrested five people at the Anaheim Marketplace indoor swap meet, where vendors are accused of selling Farmapram, a foreign brand of Xanax, without prescriptions. Undercover minors were able to buy it. Plus, taking Ambien for sleep troubles. 

8:20 — Goodwill opens its biggest Bakersfield store, 17,000 square feet inside a former Rite Aid in the northwest part of town. It replaces a much smaller shop down the street. 

8:35 — Orange County's West Nile virus risk is rated high, and vector control says infected mosquitoes are showing up at outbreak-year levels. Dump standing water weekly and wear repellent at dusk and dawn. 

8:50 — American Idol moves production to the Atlanta area for Season 25. It follows Family Feud and Shark Tank out of LA, as California's film tax credit leaves reality TV behind.

9:05 — ABC7 airborne photojournalist Chris Cristi talks about losing his friends in the NewsChopper4 crash in Chatsworth, and about LA's small, tight-knit news helicopter community. 

9:20 — Santa Ana police are hunting for a $50,000 bronze Jesus stolen from Christ Our Savior Catholic Church. The thieves cut it off at the feet with a power tool, and police worry it's headed for a scrap-metal melt. Plus, the Dodgers win the NL West for the 13th time in 14 years, and the Braves tiebreaker that makes the No. 2 seed race matter.

Hour 1 (9.16) It was a brutal night in the San Fernando Valley: A fatal bus crash in Chatsworth killed two passengers after a speeding SUV T-boned a bus that had the right of way, and then NBC’s News Chopper 4 went down while covering the scene, killing journalist Eliana Moreno and pilot George Marciniw. Tim plays Mark Brown’s ABC report as details pile up — the SUV driver has a long rap sheet, is booked on suspicion of murder, and is being held on more than $4 million bail. 

Burbank native Ross Benson of myburbank.com, who knew Marciniw for some 50 years, calls in to talk about his friend. NBC has spent the last 24 hours covering its own people; early on, some in the business thought it was a Channel 7 bird, and Tim worried it was his friend Chris Christi. The loss hits even harder because Moreno was so young, and engaged to be married. 

6:05 — It was a truly horrible night last night in the San Fernando Valley. A fatal bus crash in Chatsworth, in which two people were killed, and the NBC's News Chopper 4 that was covering the crash going down, resulting in two media veterans, journalist Eliana Moreno and pilot George Marciniw, dying in the tragedy. 

6:20 — To more on last night's tragedy in Chatsworth. Tim plays the news report from Mark Brown of ABC (who Tim happens to share a one-sided friendship with). All of this kicked off when a woman speeding in an SUV T-boned the bus, which had the right of way, resulting in the death of two passengers. News Chopper 4 was covering the crash when it went down. That woman had quite the long rap sheet and is now booked on suspicion of murder. She's being held on $4 million-plus bail.  

6:35 — Ross Benson, who runs the website myburbank.com, was born and raised in Burbank and has lived there for 70 years. He worked with NBC 4 pilot George Marciniw, who perished in last night's helicopter crash, with the pair knowing each other for some 50 years. Ross is talking about the tragedy and his relationship with George. 

6:50 — It's been tough for NBC over the past 24 hours, who have been reporting on the death of their colleagues since News Chopper 4 went down last night around 7 p.m. Initially, many people in news thought it was a Channel 7 helicopter that went down, and Tim was concerned for his friend Chris Christi. What makes this especially sad is that Eliana Moreno was so young and engaged to be married.

Hour 2 (9.16) OC DA Todd Spitzer calls in after the county’s e-bike buyback yanked about a thousand bikes off the road — parents swapping the kids’ death traps for gift cards so nobody else cracks a skull. Then a Valley win: Leslie David Baker, Stanley from “The Office,” is now co-owner of Honey Baked Ham on Ventura. Atta boy. Conway’s mall-rat mode is on with his daughter, who’s almost 21 — clothes for her, a cheeky bet at the track for him, just don’t tell the wife — plus Michael Gates is running for California AG and holding a $3-gas stop Saturday 10 a.m.–noon at 17453 Central Ave in Carson. 

The Dodgers’ magic number is 1, California’s changing license-plate sequences because the state ran out of combos (Tim doesn’t care; his daughter does), and he wonders if inmates still stamp the plates. Burbank Airport’s new terminal opens October 13 — Timmy’s birthday — so naturally it should be Conway Airport. 

After a brutal week in the Valley, Universal debuts the Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift, billed as the fastest coaster at any Universal park. The crew can’t wait; Toluca Lake neighbors are putting up a sound wall. Wear the belt. Timmy still loves the wooden one at Knott’s. 

7:05— The E-bike buyback down in Orange County has been very successful, with around 1,000 of those bikes taken off the road. OC District Attorney Todd Spitzer is on the phone to talk about the success of the program, where parents traded their kids' bikes for gift cards to ensure they don't crack their skulls or break any bones on the road. 

7:20— Did you know? Leslie David Baker, who played Stanley on "The Office," is now the co-owner of Honey Baked Ham on Ventura Blvd! Atta boy! In other news, Conway really enjoys going to the mall with his daughter, who'll be turning 21 in a few weeks. Atta girl! Tim buys her clothes while he also heads to the track for a cheeky bet, because he's really into multitasking — just don't tell his wife. Also, Michael Gates is running for AG of California, and next Saturday 10am–12pm, he'll be at 17453 Central Ave in Carson, where there'll be $3 gas! 

7:35— The Dodgers' magic number is 1. If they win one game in the next couple of weeks, they will have clinched their division. License plate sequences are changing in California. It's because there are so many cars on the road that the state has run out of numbers and has to change variations: three numbers, three letters, then one number. Timmy doesn't really care, but his daughter sure does. And that's why we're talking about it now. Timmy wonders if prisoners still make license plates. Burbank Airport's new terminal is opening for business on October 13. And Timmy is its No. 1 fan. Should it be renamed "The Conway Airport"? It is opening on his birthday, after all! 

7:50— After a rough week in the Valley and Greater Los Angeles, now for a little relief: Universal Studios has debuted its Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift roller coaster, said to be the fastest roller coaster at any Universal park in the world. The crew cannot wait to ride this thing, and the only people who hate it are the neighbors who live in Toluca Lake, who are erecting a sound barrier. Kids: Remember to use your seatbelts, so your brain doesn't scramble! Timmy loves the wooden one at Knotts Berry Farm.

Hour 3 (9.16) Gary Gulman’s bit on abbreviating state names has Timmy nodding along — and they agree small businesses should never walk onto “Shark Tank” and dance for the Sharks. Then the real ding-dong: In-N-Out managers pulling about $200,000 a year. 

Finding your NFL team this season is a scavenger hunt across streamers and random weeknights, shrinkflation gets the blame, and Jay Leno actually got a law: “Leno’s Law,” signed by Gavin Newsom, eases smog rules for vintage cars from 1976–1985 starting in 2028. 

Timmy swears Dan Rather wrote in that he listens to the Conway Show — or was that the Agua Dulce Winery guy? — they roll Bellio’s new promo, and Travis Kelce is among the victims in a multimillion-dollar Ponzi; Sid Jawahar of Swiftarc Capital got 11 years and owes $35 million back. 

Foosh rates Domino’s Personal Pan Pizza a 9 out of 10, a San Mateo woman pulled a four-pound intact mastodon tooth out of a creek (West Coast giants gone some 10,000 years), and they close on a 30-year family hunt for a lost wedding band. 

8:05 — Comedian Gary Gulman did that funny bit on abbreviating state names, and Timmy agrees with Gary that it's a terrible idea for small businesses to go on "Shark Tank," because they will surely get rinsed by the Sharks. Who wants to dance like jesters for their life's work? If you have a great idea, for the love of God do not go on "Shark Tank." Let's listen to Gulman's bad business bit. Also, you're not going to believe what the In-N-Out Burger managers take home annually: $200,000 a year. Ding-dong. 

8:20 — The NFL season is about to get very confusing, with fans forced to look for the games across various streaming networks and providers, and different days throughout the week. Good luck finding your team on the tube. Shrinkflation is being blamed for the SNAFU. Jay Leno has created a new law that's been signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom. It's called "Leno's Law" and benefits people who drive vintage cars built between 1976 and 1985 when it comes to smog testing. The exemptions begin in 2028. 

8:35 — Timmy loves meeting people in his line of work, including CBS anchor Dan Rather, who sent him a lovely message about listening to The Conway Show to keep up on all the latest news — or was that message from Tim's friend who runs the Agua Dulce Winery in Santa Clarita? Also, the crew plays the latest Conway Show promo featuring super producer Bellio. And in other news, Travis Kelse was among the victims in a multimillion-dollar Ponzi scheme! The convicted fraudster, Sid Jawahar of Swiftarc Capital, has been sentenced to 11 years in the big house and must pay back $35 million. 

8:50 — Timmy always turns to The Foosh when it comes to trying a new fast food menu item. And tonight it's Domino's Personal Pan Pizza, which Foosh gives nine out of 10. A woman in California's San Mateo County found a four-pound, in-tact mastodon dinosaur tooth sticking out of a creek bed that could be worth a ton of money. Mastodons used to roam the Westcoast and became extinct 10,000 years ago. Lastly, we explore the multigeneration hunt for a long-lost wedding band that has been missing for 30 years.

Hour 4 (9.16)  9:05 — To more on last night's tragedy in Chatsworth. Tim plays the news report from Mark Brown of ABC (who Tim happens to share a one-sided friendship with). All of this kicked off when a woman speeding in an SUV T-boned the bus, which had the right of way, resulting in the death of two passengers. News Chopper 4 was covering the crash when it went down. That woman had quite the long rap sheet and is now booked on suspicion of murder. She's being held on $4 million-plus bail. 

9:20 — Ross Benson of Burbank remembers news pilot George Marciniw, who he has known and worked with for decades, as the nicest guy in the world who loved Burbank, where they both grew up. George even helped Ross's son propose to his daughter when he took them up in his chopper to hover over the Hollywood sign. Ross plans to lead the charge to get a statue erected in George's honor in the Burbank area. 

9:35 — Todd Spitzer’s on the line after Orange County’s first e-bike buyback vacuumed up about a thousand machines in one Sunday at Angel Stadium. Parents lined up to swap the kids’ rockets for Target, Walmart and Dick’s cards — and for the first 75, a pair of Angels tickets — because they’d rather lose the bike than spend another weekend in the ER. The DA’s pitch is simple: Get the fast ones off the street before somebody else ends up like Jesse Hayes. 

9:50 — The Dodgers are one win from wrapping the division — magic number: 1. Meanwhile California’s so jammed with cars the DMV is out of plate combos and rolling out a new mix (three numbers, three letters, then another number). Timmy could not care less. His daughter is obsessed, so here we are. He also wants to know if inmates still hammer out the plates. And BUR’s new terminal opens October 13, which happens to be Conway’s birthday, so obviously it should be Conway International. He’s already the unofficial mayor of that airport.

Hour 1 (9.14)6:05 — Mark Thompson is in the Tim Conway Jr castle, and the lads are talking all things sports betting and the death of their favorite fur babies. Aside from his cat dying, Mark admits to a pretty good weekend of wins and grins thanks to his sporting prowess. There’s a fire burning in La Habra Heights — and it’s burning homes, even with five water-dropping helicopters fighting the flames. 

6:20 — Marky Mark and Timmy C talk all things football, and it’s not such a ding-dong moment that the Rams and Chargers aren’t doing so well. With the city heat in Los Angeles, people are fighting. Even Bellio is flipping people off on the 5, and Mark’s getting Facebook critiqued for his delightful laugh. F that guy. Not Mark, F his troll. 

6:35 — It’s been more than a year since The Foosh’s near-fatal road accident, and Tim’s getting soppy. Without The Foosh, who would send Timmy all those funny memes? There’s been an E-bike buyback in Orange County because parents no longer want their kids on those dangerous death traps. The electronic bikes are getting exchanged for gift cards and Angels tickets. 

6:50 — The Emmys have started, and Michael J. Fox is getting the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award. Back in the ’80s, Conway had a fun run-in with Michael J. Fox right after he won his two Emmys. Timmy takes a whip-around with them to ask if they’d bring their winning Emmy with them to a restaurant or bar following the ceremony. And now? There’s a high-speed chase in downtown LA.

Hour 2 (9.14) The downtown high-speed chase blew right past KFI’s own Michael Monks — he’s on the phone with the play-by-play — while Heather Brooker is in studio after a full day on the Primetime Emmys red carpet, grilling winners and walkers in the heat. Noah Wyle took one for HBO Max’s “The Pitt,” Apple TV’s “Pluribus” andWidow’s Baycleaned up, and Jean Smart just made history with five straight Emmys forHacks. Then it’s football pain: the only two teams that scored seven or fewer in Week 1 were Timmy’s Chargers and Bellio’s Broncos, and the Rams are already a MASH unit, with Myles Garrett done for the season after knee surgery. Mark’s never had hair extensions; Timmy almost went blond this weekend. Vegas is printing money on concerts and sports, not just the tables. And the hour turns grim: a McLaren hit a tree in Irvine, killing both people in the car, including 27-year-old James Wehr, co-founder of South OC Cars & Coffee, plus a fire at a Target in Silver Lake. 

7:05— The high-speed chase downtown went right past the home of KFI’s own Michael Monks! He’s on the phone to spill the speedy tea. Meanwhile, Heather Brooker is here to talk all things Emmys. She’s been down there all day on the red carpet interviewing the stars as they traipse their stilettos, gowns and tuxes down the ruby rug.  

7:20— Back with Heather Brooker, who’s been standing in the beating sun all day to interview Hollywood’s winners, grinners, gurners and head-turners on the Primetime Emmys red carpet. Noah Wyle won for HBO Max’s “The Pitt,” while Apple TV’s “Pluribus” also took home a trophy or several. Meanwhile, Jean Smart has now officially set a new record, having won five back-to-back Emmys for her starring role in “Hacks,” another HBO Max series. “Widow’s Bay” on Apple TV also won big. 

7:35— Did you know? The only two teams that scored seven or less in the NFL opening week were Timmy’s team the Chargers, and Bellio’s Broncos. Meanwhile, the Rams have been dealing with several players on the injured list, including Myles Garrett, who’ll be out of commission all season following his knee surgery.  

7:50— Have you ever had hair extensions? Mark says he hasn’t, but Timmy almost got blond ones installed this weekend. Meanwhile, in Las Vegas, non-gaming entertainment like concerts and sports brings in huge cash to Sin City. And in Irvine, there was a horrible crash, in which a McLaren crashed into a tree, killing the two people in the vehicle, including 27-years-old James Wehr, co-founder South OC Cars & Coffee car show. There was also a fire at a Target in Silver Lake.

Hour 3 (9.14)At the Emmys, Martin Short didn’t win — but the cutaway of him ripping up his speech and tossing it on the ground only proved he’s still the funniest, cutest, most gracious guy in Hollywood. Back in the real LA, the $500 million Sixth Street Viaduct has turned into an e-bike and dirt-bike playground, so cops finally shut down a weekend street takeover: nearly 80 citations, bikes and scooters impounded, traffic unblocked. Cue the “CHiPs” flashback.  

Timmy then hits Burger King nuggets, drive-thru line-jumpers, and cheap-eats hacks — use the apps for loyalty and birthday deals, assemble deconstructed sandwiches in the parking lot, and don’t sleep on gas-station chicken, the city’s best dirty bird.  

The hour closes on fashion royalty: Bob Mackie, the “Sultan of Sequins,” has died at 87. Tim knew him from “The Carol Burnett Show”; Mackie also dressed Cher, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, and Miley Cyrus. And just to keep you up at night: Kelvin waves, those little El Niño ripples no taller than a foot, might theoretically wipe us all out. Oh, great. 

8:05 — At the Emmys, Martin Short lost out, but there was a cutaway to him ripping up his speech and throwing it on the ground. We can all agree he’s the funniest, cutest, bestest, most charming, most gracious guy in Hollywood. The $500 million Sixth Street Bridge has been a magnet for kids on e-bikes, dirt bikes and e-scooters, and the cops have finally had it with the street takeovers and shut it down, with citations, confiscations and arrests. Now, let’s remember Eric Estrada and “CHiPS.” 

8:20 — To more on the brouhaha that happened over the weekend on the Sixth Street Viaduct — or as some locals apparently call it, the “Sixth Street Bitch”? — cops swooped in on the street takeover that was blocking and disrupting traffic on the famed bridge, impounding bikes and scooters, and issuing nearly 80 citations.  

8:35 —Timmy talks Burger King’s Chicken Nuggets and flagrant line jumping in the drive-thru. Fast-food hacks: Get on the apps, because they include loyalty programs and birthday discounts to keep costs down. Next up, people are ordering deconstructed sandwiches and putting them together in the car park to save a little dough. And don’t sleep on gas-station chicken — that’s the best dirty bird in town! 

8:50 — Bob Mackie, the world’s greatest clothing designer known as the “Sultan of Sequins,” has died at age 87. Tim knew him personally — he did all the clothes for “The Carol Burnett Show.” He also famously dressed Cher, Tina Turner, Diana Ross and Miley Cyrus. And have you heard about Kelvin waves? They’re waves no more than 12 inches, a side effect of El Nino that could potentially wipe us all out. Oh, great.

Hour 4 (9.14) Mark and Tim are having a week: Rams, Chargers, dying cats, broken ankles, SoCal sticker shock — and heat-fueled road rage so bad Bellio got flipped off on the 5 by some ding-dong glued to a phone.  

Then it’s Orange County’s e-bike buyback — gift cards from Target, Walmart and Dick’s, Angels tickets for the first 75, no questions asked — because parents are done spending Saturdays in the ER.  

Somehow Timmy jumps from a downtown high-speed chase to the Emmys red carpet to childhood memories of ice-cold suppositories, because of course he does. Heather Brooker is in studio after a full carpet day: Michael J. Fox got a lifetime honor, Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” beat Jimmy Kimmel and John Oliver for variety series, and Heather wore the dress her Instagram fans voted on. Atta girl. 

9:05 — Between the Rams and Chargers, dying cats, broken ankles and the increasing cost of living in SoCal, Marky Mark and Timmy C have been doing it tough this week. Angelenos are angry this week, and it must be the heat. Plus, Bellio got the acrylic bird from some dumb B who was on her phone while driving on the 5. 

9:20 — Cards from Target, Walmart, Dick’s. First 75 in line also got two Angels tickets! Working, broken, stolen-looking — they took ’em. We’re talking the Orange County e-bike buy-back! Parents are tired of spending their Saturdays in the emergency room. First guy in line was Jesse Hayes, 20, who spent three months on life support after an e-bike crash in Huntington Beach.  

9:35 — How did we go from high-speed car chases in downtown LA, to the Emmys red carpet, to Tim’s remembrances of ice rockets up his tuchus courtesy of his mom’s love of suppositories? We don’t know but Conway sure found a way to segue from award winners to enemas. 

9:50 — Heather Brooker is back in studio with Mark and Tim to break down the Emmys while the big drama and comedy races are still out. So far, the night’s already delivered: Michael J. Fox picked up a lifetime achievement honor, and Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” beat Jimmy Kimmel and John Oliver for variety series — a win that lands extra hard after CBS canceled the show. Heather, never one to phone it in, wore a dress her Instagram fans actually voted on. Atta girl.

Hour 1 (9.11) Twenty-five years on, the names were read aloud again — 184 at the Pentagon, all 2,977 in Lower Manhattan. Tim's got the whole day, plus a nursing home burning in Glendale. 

6:05 — Fire tears through a nursing home on West Mountain Street in Glendale, near Brand Park. Firefighters contained the blaze to the building; residents and a staff member were taken to the hospital with minor injuries, and the cause is still unknown. Then to the 25th anniversary of 9/11: ceremonies at ground zero in New York and across the country. President Trump spoke at the Pentagon, where the names and photos of all 184 people killed there were presented. 

6:20 — Nineteen al-Qaeda hijackers, four commercial airliners, three targets, one morning. Nearly 3,000 people were killed, and American foreign policy and national security were rewritten in a day. 

6:35 —9.11 Memorial. A massive flag unfurled down the Pentagon wall in the rain at sunrise; the same thing first responders did on September 12, 2001. It's an emotional hour. It should be. A 

6:50 — The Rams got embarrassed 27-7 by the 49ers in Melbourne. They didn't land until about 28 hours before kickoff while San Francisco had been in the country all week. A crowd of 100,021 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground watched the heaviest Super Bowl favorite in over a decade to fly 15 hours each way and spend under 40 hours on the ground. Kyren Williams' 5-yard run in the second quarter was the only time they scored all day.

Hour 3 (9.11) A slow planetary wave is pushing up the coast and will raise California sea levels about a foot by mid-October — roughly what the last hundred years of rise added, all at once. 

8:05 — A coastal Kelvin wave that started at the equator hit South America and turned north at about six miles an hour. By mid-October it should put California water levels 10 to 14 inches above normal, and one UC Santa Cruz researcher notes every 2 to 4 inches of sea level doubles the flood risk for communities built at sea level. This El Niño is forecast to be the strongest since at least 1950. The warm water is already dragging Baja species north — hammerheads off Malibu, mahi-mahi and oversized yellowtail in water that never sees them. 

8:20 — Tim Lynn spent 30 years in law enforcement and flew for the Huntington Beach PD Air Unit before he became KTLA's Sky5 pilot-reporter. On 9/11 the FAA grounded everything civilian in the country and left the sky to military, police and medical flights. He remembers what Southern California looked like from up there with nothing else flying, LAPD running pursuits below, and CHP working the coordination. 

8:35 — Sammy Long on sports and the betting board. 

8:50 — Judge Judy Sheindlin is 83 and done with on-camera work. Judy Justice ends in October after nearly 30 years on TV, and her son Adam Levy — a former Putnam County DA — takes over the small claims bench with his own show. CBS airs a career retrospective on September 22. Also: the CDC declared the cyclospora outbreak over today, nearly 13,000 illnesses across 21 states traced to iceberg lettuce out of central Mexico. And LADWP got the last of South L.A. back on late this morning. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 4 (9.11) At 6:45 a.m. our time, the FAA shut American airspace for the first time in history — more than 4,500 planes in the air, all of them ordered down. Police helicopters were one of the only exceptions. 

9:05 — A massive American flag unfurled down the Pentagon wall in the rain at sunrise, the same thing first responders did on September 12, 2001. It's an emotional hour. It should be. 

9:20 — Twenty-five years on, everybody still knows exactly where they were standing. The hour opens up for the memories and what the day did to people who watched it from three time zones away. 

9:35 — LADOT's Sunset Blvd/Cesar Chavez plan cuts car lanes and street parking through Echo Park and Silver Lake for dedicated bus lanes and protected bike lanes; merchants say they'll lose access and push traffic onto residential streets. Then the Fork Reporter's Mexican picks, and the theory that top-shelf Mexican food requires "Crazy" or "Loco" in the name. 

9:50 — Tim Lynn spent 30 years in law enforcement and flew for the Huntington Beach PD Air Unit before he became KTLA's Sky5 pilot-reporter. On 9/11 the FAA grounded everything civilian in the country and left the sky to military, police and medical flights. He remembers what Southern California looked like from up there with nothing else flying, LAPD running pursuits below, and CHP working the coordination.

Hour 1 (9.10) Bugs, embezzlement, remembrance, and the NFL in Australia. We start with the pests taking advantage of this heat and humidity, then the FBI arrest of an Orange County booster club treasurer accused of draining more than $400,000 from a high school football program. We take time to remember two L.A. Kings scouts lost on 9/11, twenty-five years later. And we close in Melbourne, where the Rams and 49ers are about to make NFL history. 

6:05 — Pest Control 
The heat and humidity are doing what they do every September: driving every crawling, flying, biting thing in Southern California indoors. Roaches, ants, rodents, spiders — why the muggy stretch sends pest calls through the roof, and what actually works when they show up in your kitchen. 

6:20 — Aliso Viejo Woman Allegedly Stole Over $400K From High School Football Team 
Federal agents arrested 56-year-old Julie Hanway Molina outside her Aliso Viejo home Thursday morning on a four-count wire fraud indictment. Prosecutors say that while serving as treasurer of the Aliso Niguel High School booster club, she diverted more than $400,000 from the nonprofit to pay her mortgage and credit card bills, using falsified treasurer reports to cover it up. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years on each count. 

6:35 — 2 L.A. Kings Scouts Who Died on 9/11 Remembered 25 Years Later 
Garnet "Ace" Bailey, the Kings' director of pro scouting, and amateur scout Mark Bavis were aboard United Flight 175 out of Boston on September 11, 2001, headed to training camp. Bailey was 53. Bavis was 31. A quarter century later, the team still wears an "AM" sticker on the back of every helmet, and the Kings mascot carries Bailey's name. 

6:50 — Melbourne Goes NFL: Rams and 49ers Open Down Under 
The Rams and 49ers meet at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the first NFL regular season game ever played in Australia, in front of a crowd near 100,000. The Rams come in as favorites with a rebuilt defense — Myles Garrett, Trent McDuffie, and Aaron Donald out of retirement — while the Niners flew in nearly a week early to beat the jet lag that L.A. is ignoring entirely.

Hour 2 (9.10) The alarm bells are coming from inside the building this hour. We start with the Anthropic researcher who quit and warned that AI could kill us all by 2030 — and the company insider who agreed with him. Then a billion-dollar lawsuit over the Boyle Heights warehouse fire, plus two Delta flights that lost cabin pressure in the same stretch. A Hollywood Hills home invasion victim whose story didn't hold up. And the City Council writing a check for the "no-cost" Olympics. 

7:05 — AI Doomsday From the Inside 
A 27-year-old researcher named Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic this week and posted the reason on X, where it's racked up more than 150 million views. His claim: the people building this technology privately believe it could kill us all by the end of the decade, and both Anthropic and OpenAI are "racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives." Then it got stranger — Anthropic's own head of alignment publicly agreed, putting the odds of AI wiping out humanity at greater than 10% in the next decade. 

7:20 — Billion-Dollar Blame Game & Delta's Bad Week 
Lineage Logistics is suing solar operator Altus Power and contractor Pearce Services for more than $1 billion, claiming they sparked the June 17 Boyle Heights warehouse fire that burned for over a week and left the neighborhood with foul air, rodents, and insects for months. The suit alleges roughly 200 faulty electrical connections were known about by May and the contractors re-energized the array anyway. Both companies deny it. Then: two separate Delta flights lost cabin pressure. On Flight 2311 out of LAX, the oxygen masks dropped and the 737 fell 27,000 feet in about ten minutes before diverting to Las Vegas. 

7:35 — Wrong House, Wrong Night 
A man in Hollywood Hills West told police he was robbed and beaten during an overnight home invasion — five suspects, a gun, a stolen safe, and a getaway car. There was just one problem with his story. Police say he doesn't live there and wasn't house-sitting either. Investigators now believe the victim was a squatter, which means somebody picked the wrong house on the wrong night, twice over. It happened a day after a reported hot prowl at Quentin Tarantino's place. 

7:50 — The "No-Cost" Olympics Starts Costing 
The City Council voted 8-3 to authorize $13.04 million in debt financing for 107 non-patrol LAPD vehicles for the 2028 Games — trucks, vans, mobile substations, hazmat rigs. A separate $30 million request for 300 patrol cars got pushed back for more review. Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez voted no and pointed out the obvious: L.A. was promised a no-cost Olympics, and the vehicle tab alone is headed north of $40 million. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 (9.10) The 8 o'clock hour is about what things cost and who's paying. Record box office numbers, and it's not just the movies driving them. Airfare into Vegas jumping at double the national rate. The Rams' trip to Australia that didn't go according to plan. New COVID shots, a shrinking planet, and Torrance classrooms with no air conditioning. Then Apple's first foldable iPhone, at two grand. 

8:05 — The Return of Popcorn 
Domestic ticket sales hit $4.76 billion between May 1 and Labor Day, the biggest summer in box office history — but the blockbusters aren't the whole story. Theaters say the real money is at the concession stand, with AMC reporting food sales up 50% from last year and its MegaBag of popcorn leading the way. Then a different kind of sticker shock: airfares into Las Vegas are up more than 20% since March, nearly double the national increase, and the data suggests more people are just driving. 

8:20 — Rams Fall Flat Down Under 
The NFL's first-ever regular season game in Australia went to San Francisco, 27-7. Brock Purdy threw three touchdown passes at the Melbourne Cricket Ground while the Rams — Super Bowl favorites in a lot of preseason picks — managed one score all night, a 5-yard Kyren Williams run in the second quarter, and got shut out over the final two and a half quarters. The Niners spent nearly a week acclimating. The Rams flew in and out inside 48 hours. Draw your own conclusions. 

8:35 — Shots, Shrinkage & Sweltering Classrooms 
The updated 2026-2027 COVID vaccines are rolling out nationwide at pharmacies and clinics, reformulated to target the XFG variant. Then look up: a new study out of the German Aerospace Center says Mercury is shrinking about 30% faster than we thought — as much as 14 miles off the diameter of a planet only 3,000 miles across. And closer to home, about 75% of Torrance Unified schools have no air conditioning, and with record heat and humidity this week, parents are pulling kids out early. The district says it won't count against attendance. 

8:50 — Apple's $2,000 Fold 
Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo, its first foldable, at $1,999 for the base model and up to $3,199 loaded. It's shaped like a passport, opens to a 7.6-inch screen, and it's the biggest change to the iPhone since the home button disappeared in 2017. Preorders start October 16, shipping October 23. Duolingo, whose mascot is an owl named Duo, posted "We infringed upon" — and Samsung replied with a note of solidarity: they copied us, too.

Hour 4 (9.10) Three stories about consequences and one about a man who picked the wrong place to squat. We open by remembering two L.A. Kings scouts lost on 9/11, twenty-five years later. Then the billion-dollar lawsuit over the Boyle Heights warehouse fire, plus two Delta flights that lost cabin pressure in the same stretch. A Hollywood Hills home invasion victim whose story fell apart. And the City Council writing a check for the "no-cost" Olympics. 

9:05 — 2 L.A. Kings Scouts Who Died on 9/11 Remembered 25 Years Later
