It's an All Calls Saturday with Dean Sharp The House Whisperer...A caller's son is trying to figure out a trade to go into for his chosen career and wanted Dean's recommendation. Dean answers questions about building additional dwelling units.Dean answers all calls every Saturday on KFI AM640! 

It's an all-calls episode of Home With Dean Sharp! A caller was asking about what to do about his home's hard scape. Y'see, he's just resurfaced his outdoor pool, and now he has all this leftover concrete and timber to play around with. Next, a caller was wondering about how best to take care of the hardwood entry floor in her home, which needs some TLC. 

A SWAT situation unfolded in Huntington Beach, prompting the crew to cue up the classic SWAT theme song and wonder—who actually created the original TV show? Then came a spooky twist: a woman bought the real-life house from the iconic film Poltergeist. Kiki stopped by with updates on the deadly Ontario crash and shared news about Mark's growing YouTube show. The hour wrapped with laughs about how much Mark was missed at Morongo—and a quick look at the soaring price of gold. 

 Bob Pittman and John Sykes, the founders of iHeart, also launched MTV—sparking Petros's memories of MTV's “Summer House,” which he expected to be packed with babes but wasn't quite what he imagined. Tim followed with a surprisingly touching Little League story and advice his dad gave him about his pitching future.  NBC Universal's massive $27 billion NBA deal is expected to lose money at first but could pay off long-term by attracting a younger audience.  The Dodgers are set to face Toronto in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday, and the team discussed Patrick Hill, a former NFL player who left football to become a nurse.  The hour wrapped with a look at Los Alamitos—where the city is reportedly making billions off traffic tickets. 

A police pursuit ended tragically when a suspect jumped a median, was struck, and killed, sparking a debate about whether TV stations should air such footage or risk viewers turning to social media to see it anyway. Another deadly crash in Ontario at the 15 and 10 interchange left three people dead and six hospitalized after semitrucks and multiple vehicles collided. The show then dove into an NFL debate: is it better to be the best player on a losing team or the worst player on a winning one? Tim noted Los Angeles is experiencing one of its lowest levels of production in years, with sets quiet and crews out of work, before sharing some funny and oddly relatable stories about his dry cleaner. The hour wrapped with news that Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly up for sale, as multiple buyers circle the media giant, signaling another possible shakeup in Hollywood. 

Tim reflects on Neil Saavedra's wisdom about connecting through casual conversation before celebrating the Broncos' historic comeback — rallying from a 19-0 deficit against the Giants to score 33 points in the fourth quarter and win. Jack in the Box announces it's selling Del Taco for $115 million to refocus on its main brand amid rising costs. Neil returns to talk about Disney's one-night-only Haunted Halloween Experience at the Mansion. The show closes with a shoutout to Candy's Florist in El Monte and Steckler's tongue-in-cheek advice quoting Tim's favorite line: “College grads are the unemployed.”

 A Studio City homeowner thwarts a home burglary in progress. LAPD Officer Jason Jacobson joins the show to discuss California's new law signed by Governor Gavin Newsom banning the sale of new Glocks. He shares insights on LAPD's Mounted Platoon — the unit that patrols on horseback for crime prevention and community outreach — and wraps up with expert advice on the safest, most effective firearms for home defense. 

Tim and the team thank everyone who came out to Morongo, calling KFI listeners the best. Michael Monks joins to discuss Mayor Karen Bass and LA leaders demanding a federal investigation into immigration detainments. Bellio jokes about Fatburger at Morongo and her habit of calling dollar bills “Big Ones.” The show wraps the hour with breaking news on a massive global AWS outage that took down Amazon, Lyft, Snapchat, and Venmo — now restored — and a quick look at the Raiders vs. Chiefs matchup.

Dean takes all your calls! Dean answers your HVAC questions, getting permits to build on your property, and who to contact if your shower handle is stuck!

Heavy rain has filled the empty lots in the Palisades, prompting a discussion on whether Los Angeles' air is actually cleaner today than it was in the 1930s — with a little help from AI to find out which city currently holds the title of most polluted in the world. The show also touched on the growing switch to battery-powered leaf blowers. Conway joked that even his own family doesn't listen to the show before checking in with Angel on the roads. A new California law now gives used-car buyers a three-day “cooling-off” period. The team reviewed which clubs remain in the MLB playoffs — and joked about never meeting a Brewers fan — before wrapping up with cross talk featuring Mark Thompson, who hosts from 7 to 10 PM.

KTLA aired an exclusive interview with Katie Porter, where she addressed the two viral interviews that sparked national attention. The weekend forecast calls for snow in Big Bear, signaling a wintery turn for Southern California. Subtitles are gaining popularity, sparking curiosity about why so many viewers now prefer watching with them. The Dodgers face the Brewers in Game 2, while NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge announced 550 layoffs in its latest job cut. United Airlines also revealed it's adding high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi to its Boeing fleet.

Gas prices are plunging nationwide — the average has dropped six cents in a week to $3.02 per gallon, nearly 14 cents lower than a month ago. Analysts say America could soon see the national average fall below $3 and stay there for the first time in years, driven by oil dipping under $60 a barrel. Some states, including Oklahoma, Texas, and Wisconsin, may even see prices drop below $2 per gallon — a milestone not reached since the pandemic. Meanwhile on the show: giving lottery scratchers as gifts sparks a “finder's fee” debate, Conway jokes about winning the Lotto and filing a restraining order, “Castro & Conway in the Mornings” makes an appearance, and memories of Wonder Pets lead to talk about kids now running the car radio. Weather-wise, forecasters missed big — expecting an inch of rain but getting 3–4, triggering crash warnings and mudslide fears, especially around Sierra Madre's Eaton Fire burn scar where a big rig even ended up dangling off the 118. 

A helicopter crash at Huntington Beach made national headlines after dramatic video showed the chopper spinning out of control and slamming into a bridge near the Hyatt Hotel. It had been arriving for the “Cars N' Copters” event when a rotor appeared to shear off mid-air. The pilot, reportedly known for flashy stunts, lost control as the craft hit the ground — miraculously, a young child trapped beneath the wreckage survived. Two people aboard and three on the ground were injured. The FAA and NTSB are investigating, though the ongoing government shutdown is delaying updates. Retired KTLA Sky 5 pilot Tim Lynn later explained that the tail rotor was ripped clean off, likely causing the spin. After the intense news segment, the show shifted gears with lighter moments — Tim's birthday celebration plans at Morongo, a riff on companies sending you “who-cares” birthday cards, and some Sublime tunes. The hour closed with weather warnings: heavy rain and flooding expected in burn-scar areas, with potential evacuation alerts across parts of Southern California. 

 Chaos in Torrance — a former student at Switzer Learning Center allegedly stabbed three staff members and tried to attack a fourth before being arrested. The suspect then claimed he'd planted two pipe bombs near the school, sending bomb squads to both the campus and his Redondo Beach home. The Switzer Center serves students with learning differences, according to its website, and police are continuing to investigate. From mayhem to money — Costco's clothing business is booming, with shoppers snatching up everything from jackets to jeans faster than you can say “Kirkland Signature Couture.” Then onto sports and state politics: the Dodgers face the Brewers, now just eight wins away from their next big milestone. Meanwhile, Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 79, a sweeping housing bill allowing nine-story buildings near transit stops in eight California counties — despite opposition from Mayor Karen Bass and L.A. City Council. The bill's numerous exemptions and unclear zoning maps have cities scrambling to interpret the changes before they take effect in July 2026. And in San Diego, a moment of terror at the San Diego Zoo as a gorilla charged the glass, shattering part of the enclosure and sending guests running. 

Andy kicks off Hour 3 unpacking Mayor Bass's mysteriously quiet press conference and her absence during the January wildfires before breaking down the miraculous helicopter crash in Huntington Beach with former Sky5 pilot Tim Lynn. Then, Andy keeps listeners up to date on the incoming storm and evacuation warnings across Altadena's and Pasadena's burn scar areas. Later, he takes aim at LA's political optics and closes the hour with car talk: from the most reliable brands to the ones barely holding it together, before signing off with Coast to Coast's George Noory.

Andy celebrates the Dodgers' big NLCS win before turning to Storm Watch 2025 with KTLA's Vera Jimenez, breaking down the rare October weather system that could bring tornado-level conditions to SoCal. He shares his excitement over meeting John Tesh ahead of Thursday's interview, reports on a half-acre brush fire above Montecito Heights, and discusses human remains discovered in a Palmdale junkyard. The hour wraps with a classic Beverly Hills car commercial and a lightning-fast recap of Mayor Karen Bass' press conference.

Andy kicks off the show diving into the biggest stories of the night: from the newly announced Gaza peace deal between Israel and Hamas, with analysis from retired Marine Intelligence Officer Hal Kempfer to evacuation warnings near the Palisades and Eaton Fire burn scars.Then, Andy welcomes Gary and Larry Lane, the twin creators of the viral Burbank Clown House, for a wild in-studio chat about how their DIY haunted house became a neighborhood phenomenon. Later, Andy breaks down what really happens if you skip jury duty, gives a live Dodgers update, and wraps the hour with the inspiring story of Powerball winner Edwin Castro, who's reinvesting a portion of his $2 billion Powerball fortune into his hometown of Altadena.

Handel on the Law. Marginal Legal Advice. A caller loaned an employee his personal car and he accidentally killed someone. The lawyers of the person who was killed are asking about assets, what happens next? Also, in California, can you do probate yourself without an attorney, when handling a will? And a caller is trying to avoid a realtor's potential defamation case when he puts signage on his lawn to prevent his neighbor from turning his home into a mental care facility. 

Handel on the Law. Marginal Legal Advice.A caller was involved in a no-fault car accident 6 months ago that was 100% the other driver's fault, and their insurance wants to settle. Should she get a lawyer or handle it herself? Also, and listener is wondering, if you say something about someone and it is not a lie, is it still defamation or slander? And a listener's friend's dad passed away, and his siblings claim he was cut out of the will but aren't sending a copy of the will, so what does Bill recommend? 

Handel on the Law. Marginal Legal Advice.A caller whose son died earlier this year wants to know how she can access or change his settlement. Also, the saga continues for a previous caller who is having someone evicted from his property. The person isn't leaving, and the deadline is today, what can he do? And, a caller's fence needs repairing, but the neighbor keeps putting off the repairs and not giving them access. She's fine paying for it, but what can she do about the neighbor not giving approval? 

Dean takes all your call on an All Calls Saturday!Dean tackles dry rot in your home, smart home systems and the apps you can use to control just about everything in your home. And how to prevent coyotes from eating your mustard.That's a sentence I never thought I'd write...Dean Sharp The House Whisperer on KFI AM640!

It's an All Calls Saturday! Dean answers all your home questions, including HVAC, fire-rated doors, and what is the better option: a two-in-one washer dryer unit, or a separate washer and dryer?

Federal and local authorities announced the arrest of 29-year-old Jonathan Rinderknecht, accused of igniting the devastating Palisades Fire. 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. On the sports side, the Dodgers could clinch the series against the Phillies tonight at home.

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. 

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. 

Chris Merrill rejoices in the fact that the reports of the demise of Dolly Parton were greatly exaggerated... Which can only mean one thing... Yesterday's prayers for the safety of Dolly were met! She only has kidney stones, and nothing worse!!! Also, Chris is still befuddled by how versatile YouTube is, especially if you get Premium, so the music doesn't get interrupted...And Chris is REALLY annoyed by your bumper sticker. 

Chris Merrill talks!!! Today, it's about the guy who set the Palisades Fire getting caught in Florida. Katie Porter blew her gubernatorial shot thanks to melting down in a CBS interview... Gubernatorial candidate Stephen J. Cloobeck joins Chris to pay his respects to her dead campaign... And how long will this government shutdown last??? It would lovely to have a well-stocked air control tower at Burbank Airport. Just saying... 

 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.

 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.

Parking just got pricier with meter rates jumping 50%, while Disney rolls out new corporate-style travel deals. In Colorado, a man was slapped with a shocking $20,000 parking bill. And Conway wraps the hour asking—where's your Lowe's?

Which country swears the most per tweet? Today is National Taco Day! They don't celebrate it in Mexico. Tax credits of $7,500 for EVs expired at the end of September and automakers are now bracing for plunging sales. President Trump says he's not going to backpay furloughed federal workers during the government shutdown, even though the government is legally required to. And what about the rest of us? We might be receiving stimulus checks, which could be around $2,000

Amy and Neil are in for Bill, who will be back next week. Amy and Neil are both competitive with how much money they are raising for charity as they name off the generous KFI listeners who donated to the cause. Also, Neil explores America's slow-building admiration of sushi, and where to find the best spots (including supermarkets?!?!?) And Neil announces the Zelmin's winners who will join him and Bill at the Anaheim White House for a super garlicky, yummy meal. 

Amy and Neil cover for the vacationing Handel. Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted amid pressure from a revenge-seeking President Trump. A "MAGA" dentist in Santa Clarita jokes about torturing liberal patients. Amazon is forced to pay $2.5 billion to the Federal Trade Commission. Amy and Neil are afraid of plummeting, er, rappelling 25 stories in the name of charity. 

Neil and Amy discuss financial responsibility during a time when people are living paycheck to paycheck. Also, do not, I repeat, do not let your pets vote. It won't end well...An angry squirrel hospitalized people. This reminds us when we had our own murderous squirrel at the station... Flea from the Chili Peppers was traumatized by it. Now, it's probably hiding from the coyotes that stalk the building overnight.

Neil and Amy are in for the vacatioining Bill Handel. Neil finds himself agreeing with Don Lemon's opinion (that's a first...)  about the Charlie Kirk Memorial being about Christians claiming divine permission to rule, leading to commentary that explores the differences between politics and politicians, and the twisted role religion is starting to play in all of it. Also, by 2040, the majority of new US homeowners will be Hispanic. And LAX drops in global airport rankings, but the CEO believes in the future.
