Officials revealed a remarkable twist: the car that stopped the fleeing motorcycle suspect was driven by an off-duty deputy who put himself on duty and performed a legal intervention, ending the dangerous pursuit. The focus briefly turned to Dodgers vs. Toronto, Game #3 at Dodger Stadium. The tragic news deepened — Deputy Andrew Nunez was confirmed killed in the line of duty.

 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.

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.

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.

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. 

 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. 

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. 

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? 

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 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. 

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. 

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 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.
