The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Andy Riesmeyer Hour 4 (7.24) Things are popping off at Comic-Con as KFI reporter John Fink checks in live from San Diego — he caught a surprise single-song Green Day pop-up, sat in on the “Blade Runner 2099” panel (which feels a little too prophetic with all the AI talk), and still has Comedy Nerds Unite and an Adult Swim party on his schedule. LeBron James is officially out of LA and headed to the Philadelphia 76ers — safe travels, King, and don’t let the door hit you. Up in Big Bear, everyone’s still rooting for Jackie the bald eagle as she recovers from her injuries, and there’s word a billionaire may have stepped in to protect their nesting habitat for good. After that, internet star Jimothy the long-legged raccoon takes over. In Santa Monica, the decades-old Montessori School is closing to make way for Alpha School, an AI-powered campus that replaces human teachers with artificial intelligence. KTLA photojournalist Meredith Gunning, a true East Coaster, joins Andy on the phone and reveals she ripped her shirt off like a pro wrestler when she heard LeBron was going to Philly. Crozier, a 38-year KFI veteran, looks back on what it was like working the airwaves during the chaos of the 1992 LA Riots. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Plus, more love for internet star Jimothy the raccoon. It’s so hot in the Valley it felt like a Midwest summer day. In Santa Monica, the longtime Montessori School is closing after decades to make way for Alpha School, an AI-powered campus that replaces human teachers with artificial intelligence.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Andy Riesmeyer Hour 1 (7.24) Take a shot or spark up — it’s Friday, y’all! Andy was back at KTLA at another stupid-early call time, and his makeup artist had to airbrush him at point-blank range just to get him on air. Traffic queen Angel Martinez takes a well-deserved shot at men who drive Porsche Boxsters (it’s a chick car, and she said what she said). Another water main has burst, this time in the heart of Hollywood, while the giant one in West Hollywood is finally being plugged up so the Sunset Strip can reopen.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Andy Riesmeyer Hour 2 (7.23) Andy is joined live by House Whisperer Dean Sharp, the KFI home designer who’s breaking down current home trends and helping people decide when it’s time to renovate. It’s all about finding your X-factor and expressing yourself through design — that’s when Dean goes to work. Is “The Big Lebowski” the greatest LA-centric movie ever made? Andy and Crozier might just agree on that one. Dean also shares a little tip on how to sound convincingly Russian, while Andy digs into how to stay current with architectural trends and which design elements actually stand the test of time. Meanwhile, LA’s famous “Graffiti Towers” skyscraper is finally getting a long-overdue scrubbing. And the TalkBacks keep rolling in with the eternal debate: is it “Eagles” or “The Eagles”? Drop the definite article and you’ll either make Don Henley happy or sound Russian. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
