Tim Conway Jr. on Demand

Florida federal judge ordered Jonathan Rinderknecht, the man charged in the deadly Palisades Fire, to remain jailed after prosecutors cited his arsonist tendencies and his family's concerns over his declining mental state. The judge questioned both his mental health and his reliability to attend future hearings in California. Flood watch was issued in San Bernardino County through Saturday night amid heavy downpours. The LAFD also released after-action reports on the Palisades Fire. Interim LAFD Chief Ronnie Villaneuva discussed what he would have done differently during the January 7th blaze. Norwalk resident Andrew Garcia, who spent hundreds on tickets for what he believed to be LeBron James' retirement game, filed a small claims lawsuit against the Lakers star for $865.66, accusing him of fraud and misrepresentation after the “Second Decision” turned out not to be about retirement.

Dean Sharp, “The House Whisperer,” joined to share fall gardening advice, including why leaves change color and why autumn is the perfect season for pruning. The show closed on a high note with the Dodgers' big win.

He was taken into custody near his Florida home on charges of destruction of property by means of fire. Meanwhile, a Palisades Fire timeline highlighted LADFD Capt. Kristen Crowley as the only one held accountable, and the show also covered the first phase of the Israel-Hamas peace plan announcement.

California gubernatorial candidate Stephen J. Cloobeck weighed in on Katie Porter abruptly walking out of an interview. Conway promoted the upcoming Morongo Party on October 18 with signups at kfiam640.com/promotions. The crew shared classic one-liners from comedy legends like Dick Van Dyke, Jay Leno, and George Burns—before Bellio got hit with a playful “boom roasted.” The show closed with Dodgers Game 3 anticipation, word of an arrest in the Palisades Fire case, and a string of four jewelry robberies in Woodland Hills. 

The show opened with news of a bomb threat in Tarzana and a rundown of rising costs in Los Angeles—parking fees, trash, LADWP bills, and now even marriage licenses. A heartwarming story followed as a California dog was reunited with its owner after being found in Chicago, sparking talk about how the pup got there and whether dogs are on the verge of “speaking.” Later, conversation turned to DoorDash rolling out new delivery robots, and the show wrapped with a push to sign up for the Morongo event via @Conwayshow social media. 

 Air traffic controllers are already calling out just days into the shutdown, leaving Burbank Airport without a staffed tower and forcing San Diego controllers to handle its traffic remotely. The shortage is causing delays nationwide and adding financial stress to workers worried about missed paychecks. Meanwhile, Jay Leno gave Conway's crew a personal garage tour, called in for laughs, and sparked Conway's list of favorite women at iHeart. By day's end, Burbank Airport returned to full operations, but the pressure on air travel is only mounting.

 The government shutdown is causing major disruptions at airports, while Glendale welcomes the grand opening of “Little Bear,” a new restaurant from Chef Sevan Abdessian—formerly Adam Sandler's personal chef. Conway added humor with his Tom Leykis impersonation and a Thanksgiving story, and sports fans marked the start of the NHL season as Kings captain Anze Kopitar announced his retirement after 18 seasons.

 Tim Cates is in studio to celebrate with Conway Jr that their beloved Dodgers have now taken the lead! We continue to update on the Burbank Airport situation with no air traffic controllers, with Tim noting that the website departure information is not updating the delays. Is it due to a “sick-out” or delayed payments due to the federal government shutdown? We continue to cover the flight delays out of Burbank Airport, with some flights running as much as four hours behind schedule.

As Burbank Airport flight cancelations and delays continue due to having no air traffic controllers thanks to the so-called sick-out, the Phillies have scored two runs, now the score is 4:3, with Dodgers dominating. Car valets at Burbank Airport have been told not to park any more cars this evening. Aaaaand the Dodgers win!!! Wow, what a game! Tim says if he were running the FAA, he'd want to have a “little chat” with all the air traffic controllers who called in sick. Tim also speculates on LA Lakers player LeBron James' “major decision” that's incoming. Is it something to do with Amazon Prime Day? Former LA Deputy Mayor Brian K.

The government shutdown raises questions about ripple effects, from a top-secret facility that keeps cell phones online during disasters to canceled military flyovers at the Huntington Beach Pacific Airshow. In Brentwood, thieves stole the iconic Sinclair gas station dinosaur, while questions rise about driverless cars: if a Waymo gets pulled over, who gets the ticket? 

It's Dodgers Night in LA! Mark Thompson is in studio co-hosting with Tim Conway Jr. Alex Stone is on the phone to talk about Tilly Norwood, the A.I. Hollywood actress causing a stir in Tinseltown. She looks incredibly real, but unlike any other aspiring actress with an Instagram account and Facebook page, "Tilly" is totally computer generated – and Hollywood agents are interested. It's also causing fresh issues for the actors' union, SAG-AFTRA. Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny will be performing at the Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show next year, and some people aren't happy about that. Santa Clara's Levi's Stadium in the Bay Area will be hosting the Super Bowl LX next year, and some locals don't want it – including the mayor.

Dogs are everywhere!

Mark admits he outlasted two of his therapists. Tim plays the old football sketch from “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” featuring young Tim performing as the echo. At LAX on Sunday, a cargo plane crossed a runway and nearly collided with an American Airlines passenger plane headed to Boston.

Tim wonders what happened to enjoying a class stadium hot dog. 

Oscar-nominated screenwriter Billy Ray talks about AI creeping further into Hollywood. Spoiler alert, he is not a fan of cinematic artificial intelligence. He refers to Tilly Norwood as an “it” and not as an actress. Billy Ray believes AI hurts Hollywood and takes away middleclass jobs from behind-the-scenes movie workers, like gaffers, workaday actors and camera operators, arguing that LA is a blue-collar town. Will AI become a powerful creative ally or is it a threat to their craft and livelihoods? Ray argues for strong protections, insisting that “the public has a right to know when they're watching something written by a human being.” The Dodgers have taken a 1:0 lead at Dodgers Stadium! Hurricane Humberto is drawing near Bermuda, thus sparing the U.S. East Coast. A nursing student at a carwash in Reseda was mugged for $4,000 while vacuuming her car, but she has a GoFundMe.

Fewer women are having children, or they're waiting later in life to become mothers. Why is that? One of Big Bear's main roads Highway 38 has been wiped out due to storm-related floods and will likely remain closed for months. The Los Angeles Olympics in 2028 has got many locals concerned about how bad the traffic will be, so school buses will be used to combat the bottleneck. Former presidential candidate Kamala Harris will be in town on a book tour to promote her political memoir “107 Days.”

Nine months after the January wildfires in the Pacific Palisades and Malibu, FEMA may destroy homes that survived the fire damage but do have smoke damage, due to new flood standards known as FEMA flood levels. A nine-year-old kid named Jameson went to a Phillies baseball game and caught a foul ball, then he gave the ball he caught to an 80-year-old woman, because she's “way older.” Three people have been charged with stealing more than $40,000 in FEMA disaster relief funds meant for displaced residents who were impacted by LA's January wildfires.

Costco is booming, especially with younger shoppers under 40 who are flocking to the warehouse giant for deals, Kirkland-branded gear, and TikTok-worthy hauls.

Elsewhere, Santa Anita racetrack officially opened its season, a body was discovered near a homeless encampment by the 210 freeway in Azusa, and Long Beach announced it is phasing out self-checkout stations as part of an effort to curb theft.
