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. Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI!

Hour 2 (09.18) Conway says A.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. Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI!

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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

PArking between the lines in parking lots...dents & nasty notes. 6:50- Paramount has signaled plans to leave California as an escalating antitrust battle with state officials threatens its $110+ billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plus: Paramount's moving trucks. 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? Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI!

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. Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI!

Plus: a $50K bronze Jesus cut off at the feet, and Paramount's moving trucks. 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. And the parking habit Conway has kept for 50 years, and the dents and nasty notes it's earned him. 9:35 — 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.

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. #SanFernandoValley #fatalbuscrash #NBChelicopter #NewsChopper4 #Chatsworthcrash #ElianaMoreno #GeorgeMarciniw #MarkBrownABC #RossBenson #myburbank #ChrisChristi #TimConwayJr #TheConwayShow #KFI See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. #ebikebuyback #orangecounty #ToddSpitzer #LeslieDavidBaker #TheOffice #Stanleytheoffice #HoneyBakedHam #MichaelGates #CaliforniaAG #Carson #Dodgers #Californialicenseplates #BurbankAirport #TheConwayAirport #TheValley #LosAngeles #UniversalStudios #Fast&FuriousHollywoodDrift #rollercoaster #TolucaLake See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. #SharkTank #GaryGulman #InNOut #NFL #Lenoslaw #collectorcars #mastodontooth #DirecTV #shrinkflation #JayLeno #GavinNewsom #AguaDulceWinery #SantaClarita #CBS #TravisKelse #PonziScheme #SidJawahar #SwiftarcCapital #DanRather #DominosPersonalPanPizza See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. #TimConwayJr #KFIAM640 #Chatsworth #NewsChopper4 #ElianaMoreno #GeorgeMarciniw #NBC4 #RossBenson #Burbank #ToddSpitzer #EBikeBuyback #OrangeCounty #JesseHayes #Dodgers #MagicNumber #CaliforniaDMV #LicensePlates #BurbankAirport #BUR #ConwayShow See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. #USOpen #SamSimon #NFL #Chargers #Rams #LaHabrafire #MarkThompson #TheFoosh #ebike #ebikebuyback #OrangeCounty #Angels #ToddSpitzer #Emmys #MichaelJFox #DTLA #Emmywinners #highspeedchase #TimConwayJr See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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” and Widow’s Bay cleaned up, and Jean Smart just made history with five straight Emmys for Hacks. 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.

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. #Emmys #redcarpet #MichaelMonks #HeatherBrooker #Hollywood #highspeedchase #DTLA #Chargers #Broncos #MylesGarrett #hairextensions #LasVegas #McLarencrash #Irvine #JamesWehr #SouthOCCars&Coffee #Targetfire #SilverLake #Irvine See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. #MartinShort #Emmyswinners #streettakeover #SixthStreetBridge #CHiPS #ebikes #EricEstrada #Broncos #BurgerKingchickennuggets #fastfoodhacks #Cher #TinaTurner #DianaRoss #MileyCyrus #deconstructedsandwiches #gasstationchicken #crispychicken #BobMackie #Kelvinwaves #ElNino See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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 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.

Hour 1 (9.09) Eight Dana Point homes red-tagged, one already in the ocean, 75 yards of beach gone. In Sherman Oaks, In-N-Out keeps its lease. Pineapple Hill got 60 days. (155 characters) 6:05 — Football is back, which is the only good news in a day like this one. It's 108 in the Valley, Timmy's wife clocked 114 in the car, and a brush fire broke out along the 405 in the Sepulveda Pass just after 4:15. It closed the Getty Center and put Brentwood and Bel-Air under evacuation warnings. 6:20 — The fire — now called the Getty Fire — burned about 25 acres before crews stopped its forward progress. And Delta 2311 out of LAX never made Salt Lake City: the masks dropped over the Mojave, the 737 went from 36,000 feet to 9,000 in about ten minutes, and 181 people ended up in Las Vegas instead. 6:35 — Pineapple Hill Saloon & Grill has been pouring at 4454 Van Nuys Blvd since 1978. Angela Marsden got a 60-day notice to vacate on August 6 for a redevelopment — and the In-N-Out on the same lot has been told it can stay. She was promised her lease back after construction. Nothing in writing. Sign the petition https://www.change.org/p/save-pineapple-hill-saloon-grill? 6:50 — Down in Dana Point, roughly 75 yards of beach vanished in four days. Eight homes on Beach Road are red-tagged, three more yellow-tagged, one has partially collapsed into the ocean, and about 500 boulders are being trucked in to hold the line on what's left.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 (9.09) A retired NASCAR driver wants to drop a $400 million racetrack and 275 garage condos on Lake Elsinore. Membership: $300,000. Rooftop helipads optional. (151 characters) 7:05 — Another 7-foot-high tide tonight between 8 and 10, on top of a week of Tropical Storm Marie swell that damaged garage in Long Beach and chewed up the bluff under beachfront homes in Dana Point. Meanwhile it's triple digits inland. And up in Topanga sits Canyon View Ranch — five acres of pools, waterfalls and tunnels built by Randy Neece and Joe Timko after a day at Disneyland convinced them dogs deserved one too. Timmy wants a dog. We agree. 7:20 — Road-racing legend Boris Said is pitching Elsinore Ring, a 300-acre private motorsport country club about 70 miles from LA. A 3.2-mile, 22-turn track designed by Hermann Tilke's firm, 275 garage condos that swallow eight cars apiece with a living room stacked on top, a glass-bottom pool over the track, and rooftop helipads on the penthouses. Membership runs about $300,000, capped at 450. Dream extreme, lads. 7:35 — In studio: college party promoter Dillon Hennessy and music agent Myles Goldman, in to talk "Rolling Loud: The Movie." Owen Wilson sneaks his 13-year-old into the biggest hip-hop festival on earth and immediately loses him. Matt Rife, Henry Winkler, Travis Scott, Sexyy Red, Ty Dolla $ign and Ski Mask the Slump God all turn up. 7:50 — It's in theaters October 2, and the promo push is a campus concert tour plus a bus collecting influencers across the country and hauling them to the premiere. Grassroots, loud, and rolling. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 (9.09) Santa Anita pulled its permit to cut 34 protected oaks for the 2028 Olympic course. Plus: Barry Melrose, who took the Gretzky Kings to the Cup Final, dead at 70. (161 characters) 8:05 — A 25-year-old was arrested Monday night near Kris Jenner's place after her private security stopped him in the neighborhood. Deputies booked him on suspicion of stalking; he's charged with one misdemeanor count of trespassing. And in Torrance, 499 condo owners each got a bill for more than $49,000 to cover $19 million in re-piping, elevators and a full podium rebuild. 8:20 — Barry Melrose has died at 70. The mullet, the suits, twenty-seven years at ESPN — but in this town he's the guy who walked in as a rookie head coach in 1992 and took Gretzky's Kings to the franchise's first Stanley Cup Final. 8:35 — Malibu declared a local emergency after a sinkhole roughly 30 by 60 feet and 25 to 30 feet deep opened in a driveway on Sea Level Drive. Down in Dana Point, eight homes on Beach Road are red-tagged and one has already been demolished. Meanwhile Santa Anita has hit pause on its permit to remove 34 protected oaks for the Olympic cross-country course, and LADOT wants to cut Sunset down to one lane each way from Silver Lake to downtown. 8:50 — The humidity is the whole story. Downtown's heat index topped out around 116 today, which is why 98 degrees felt like standing in a dryer. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 4 (9.09) A Torrance HOA billed 499 condos $49,000 each for $19 million in repairs. State law caps what a board can do alone. Plus: Rolling Loud: The Movie guys in studio. (160 characters) 9:05 — Pineapple Hill Saloon & Grill has been the Valley's living room since 1978, and now the strip mall around it is getting torn down. Angela Marsden — yes, that Angela Marsden — got a 60-day notice and a verbal promise she'd be welcomed back. Verbal. The In-N-Out on the same lot is staying put. Sign the petition https://www.change.org/p/save-pineapple-hill-saloon-grill 9:20 — Dillon Hennessy and Myles Goldman stop by to talk "Rolling Loud: The Movie," out October 2. Owen Wilson smuggles his 13-year-old into the loudest hip-hop festival on earth against his wife's explicit orders, loses him inside of an hour, and spends the rest of the film tearing through mosh pits with Matt Rife. Henry Winkler, Christine Ko, Travis Scott, Sexyy Red, Ty Dolla $ign and Ski Mask the Slump God all show up. 9:35 — The promo plan is a campus concert tour and a bus collecting influencers across the country for the premiere. The guys explain why you sell a hip-hop movie the way you'd sell a festival: on the ground, in person, and loud. 9:50 — A Torrance condo owner opened a bill for more than $49,000. So did the other 498 owners in his complex — $19 million total, $13 million of it to rebuild the podium, the rest for re-piping and elevators. They've sued and they're trying to recall the board. Under Davis-Stirling, anything past 5% of the annual budget needs a vote of the members, unless the board declares an emergency. Guess which box got checked.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1 (9.08) Powerful surf from Marie forced evacuations along the Long Beach Peninsula and threatened beachfront homes in Dana Point as Southern California braced for another round of high tides. Tim also looks ahead to a heat spike after the holiday weekend and shares a Las Vegas gambling mishap. 6:05 PM Powerful waves generated by Marie battered Southern California's coastline, damaging beachfront homes in Dana Point and creating dangerous conditions from Orange County to Malibu. Officials warned residents and beachgoers to prepare for more high surf and coastal flooding. 6:20 PM Tim breaks down the evening high tides expected in Dana Point, Seal Beach, Long Beach, and Malibu. In Long Beach, residents of roughly 20 homes along the Peninsula were ordered to evacuate as waves overtopped defenses and damaged portions of the boardwalk. 6:35 PM After an unusually wet Labor Day weekend, forecasts pointed to a rapid warmup with hot and humid conditions returning midweek. Tim talks about whether the holiday weather offers any clues for the months ahead and what Southern Californians can expect moving into the fall season. 6:50 PM Tim spent the weekend in Las Vegas and accidentally locked his gambling money inside a safe, creating a stressful detour for the trip. Plus, a reminder for drivers making the Vegas run: the left lane is for passing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 (9.08) After decades of talk, Los Angeles finally gets a rail connection to LAX as the LAX/Metro Transit Center opens. Tim also tracks a Harbor Gateway crime sweep, an Arleta explosion, and live coverage of Southern California's peak high tides. 7:05 PM Tim recounts a rain-soaked stop in Antelope Valley on the drive back from Las Vegas before turning to a major transit milestone.

Hour 1 (9.04) Sepulveda Pass on the 405 — after a rare storm dropped about 1.5 inches of rain across Los Angeles and even Antelope Valley. The much-hyped hurricane mostly fizzled into rain instead of chaos, but Long Beach and Huntington Beach are still dealing with a huge swell, and the next threat is already here: extreme heat, high humidity, and possible 100-degree temps on the coast. Then it’s HOA sticker shock out of Torrance, where condo owners got hit with a $50,000 special assessment each, plus a look at the viral Gen Z “darty” wellness-party trend of barely dressed college kids doing yoga and runs on frat-house lawns. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 (9.04) Nathan Fielder’s new documentary on imprisoned Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, then aviation buff. Amazon Prime cargo jet that crashed near Miami International Airport on a flight from San Juan, killing five people on the ground. KFI’s queen of entertainment Heather Brooker joins him to unpack the Creative Arts Emmys — why the awards now sprawl across multiple nights instead of one big TV celebration, plus the big winners “Widow’s Bay” and “Spider Noir.” September in LA already feels like awards season as they talk “below the line” honors, overseas series being lifted from South Korea and India, a tearjerker posthumous Emmy for Rob Reiner’s guest role on “The Bear,” and 90-year-old Julie Andrews picking up her fourth Emmy for her “Bridgerton” voice-over. Andy closes with Listener Talkbacks, naming and shaming the best of the bunch — and a whole lot of people who, like the crew, really hate their HOA. And Ed Moore. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 (9.04) Shouting like a brat at newsman Rick Chambers mid-broadcast at Laurel Canyon and Ventura Blvd. Then he and the crew dive into the latest concert trend — no encores! — before launching Andy’s favorite caller game, Solo 2 Solo, where he plays stripped-down guitar-only tracks and listeners guess the song and artist. A caller from Japan comes close twice, the next listener nails Pantera’s “Walk,” and the show pays respects to the late Dimebag Darrell. More Solo 2 Solo follows as KFI listeners prove they’re as bad at listening as the Riesmeyer crew, with a salute to the late George Harrison rounding out a loud, chaotic, music-nerd hour.

Hour 4 (9.04) SoCal braces for a miserable heatwave that feels like 110 with 100% humidity — Foggy Bottom with palm trees. Gen Z is officially over “spicy water,” and vodka seltzer brands are reading the room and pulling the plug. Then the crew rips into HOA hell: sky-high special assessments that have condo-dwelling Angelenos furious, including one Torrance building staring down a $50K hit — each. Listeners are invited to name-and-shame the people making their lives miserable, before Heather dives into stretched-out Emmys week. “I Love Lucy” still winning hardware, Rob Reiner getting a posthumous Emmy for “The Bear” and a standing ovation that left no dry eyes, and a last-call hope that Hollywood’s working dreamers can keep the industry we love from circling the drain.

Hour 1 (9.04) Wheel of Fortune fired the announcer it's had since 2011. Six people in a small hatchback on Angeles Crest, four of them dead, and Marie's swell reaching the beaches tonight. 6:05 — Sony Pictures Television terminated Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton, days after suspending him, following what the studio called a thorough investigation. It stems from a complaint another passenger made about what she saw on his laptop during a May 14 American Airlines flight from Charlotte to LAX. Officers met the plane. Thornton was questioned briefly, was not arrested, and has not been charged. His attorney says he did nothing wrong and that he was in a support forum connected to suicide-prevention work he took up after losing a family member. Cro brings up Pete Townshend, arrested in 2003 in Britain's Operation Ore, who said he'd accessed a site as research tied to his own childhood — police cautioned him and put him on the sex offenders register for five years anyway. And the obvious question: is Conway the guy to take over the announcing job? 6:20 — The swell from Marie reaches Southern California late tonight. Six to ten feet on south-facing beaches, strong rip currents through the holiday weekend, and the worst of it at the south-facing spots. 6:35 — Zoox started running its driverless robotaxis to and from Harry Reid International in Las Vegas this week, the first fully driverless service at a US airport, with pickups at both terminals closer to baggage claim than the Uber and Lyft zones. Drivers waiting in the lot had mixed feelings — one full-timer said it'll take a lot of business; another said there's nothing they can do about it. Which leads to the real question: what can you make out there? Six days, twelve hours a day, seventy-five hours a week, a hundred and fifty bucks in gas, and about fifteen hundred at the end of it. Plus, the customizable-speed idea. Zoox of Hazard. 6:50 — Six people were in a black 2016 Hyundai Veloster heading east on the Angeles Crest Highway between Big Pines and Wrightwood around 1:34 this morning. The car drifted right, left the road, rolled down the embankment, and hit a power pole. Five of the six were thrown from the car. Four were pronounced dead at the scene. All six were from Wrightwood. CHP says nobody was belted in and that alcohol is likely a factor. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 (9.04) The LA County DA promised in June he'd have a picnic in MacArthur Park on Labor Day. He's going through with it this weekend. Halloween Horror Nights opened last night with a Sinners house. 7:05 — Neil Saavedra, the Fork Reporter, joins Tim. Amazon returns and the volume moving through them, why truck drivers and delivery people are buried right now, and the eternal question of why motorcycles have to be that loud. The riders' answer: so you can hear them. And the thank-you wave, which nobody dislikes. 7:20 — More with Saavedra. His wife's master's from USC, and the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which opens September 22 in Exposition Park. Star Wars takes up about seven percent of it. The rest is narrative art and storytelling — a Norman Rockwell holding well over a hundred works, Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Jessie Willcox Smith, and children's book illustration from Beatrix Potter and Leo Politi, out of a founding collection north of 40,000 pieces. Plus the time Conway and Steckler got thrown out of LACMA for breathing on the art. 7:35 — Halloween Horror Nights opened at Universal Studios Hollywood, and this year's run is the longest they've ever done: 42 nights through November 1. Eight haunted houses, six scare zones, the Terror Tram hosted by Art the Clown, and the Purge stunt show. The headliner is Sinners, built out of the second half of Ryan Coogler's film — Club Juke, the vampires, the whole thing. It hit a sixty-minute wait within half an hour of the gates opening. Hellraiser makes its Hollywood debut, and Stranger Things, Killer Klowns and Ozzy Osbourne all have houses. The element of surprise is the whole game. 7:50 — Back in June, during the federal and LAPD operation at MacArthur Park, District Attorney Nathan Hochman made a specific public pledge: Labor Day 2026, middle of the day, he'd be there with his family having a picnic. His office has confirmed he's hosting one this weekend. So — is it actually safe to take a family there? Plus, Saavedra fills in for Handel on Monday.
