Hour 1 (09.25) Over 200 olive ridley sea turtle eggs, from the first natural sea turtle nests ever confirmed on the West Coast, got rushed off Seal Beach and Huntington Beach before Hurricane Polo's surf arrives. 6:05 – Hurricane Polo won't hit SoCal directly, but its swells are headed for Malibu, Long Beach and Seal Beach, with high surf expected Sunday through Tuesday. Long Beach has declared a local emergency for the peninsula. We also revisit Duke's Malibu, the PCH landmark that got buried in mud and floodwater after the Palisades Fire. 6:20 – The Quick Dam Insta-Dam is a flexible polyurethane barrier that blocks water, oil and chemicals without absorbing them. Every little bit helps. A late monsoonal storm set off mudflows in the San Bernardino Mountains, and its apple season: Oak Glen Steak House and U-Pick orchards. 6:35 – KTLA's Chip Yost, one of the best reporters in SoCal, is on sea turtle watch. Biologists moved more than 200 eggs from two nests to the Aquarium of the Pacific, where they could hatch in 45 to 60 days, around early November. Olive ridleys lay their eggs and leave them. The sea turtles are the new eaglets, and no, we're not naming them like Jackie and Shadow. 6:50 – McDonald's is exploring bowls, grilled chicken and egg bites for GLP-1 users and anyone who wants more protein. Plus: Burger King's new nuggets are good. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every little bit helps. The olive ridley sea turtle eggs are safe at the Aquarium of the Pacific, and no, we're not naming them like Jackie and Shadow. A late monsoonal storm set off mudflows in the San Bernardino Mountains, and its apple season: Oak Glen Steak House and U-Pick orchards. 9:20 – KTLA's Chip Yost, one of the best reporters in SoCal, is on a sea turtle watch. More than 200 eggs from the first natural sea turtle nests ever confirmed on the West Coast were moved from Seal Beach and Huntington Beach before this weekend's big surf. They could hatch around early November. Olive ridleys lay their eggs and leave them. The sea turtles are the new eaglets. 9:35 – Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell declared September 25 Dolly Day, a nod to "9 to 5." Venues played the song at 5 p.m., buildings glowed pink, businesses raised money for charities including Dolly's Imagination Library, and fireworks went off downtown at 9:25. 9:50 – A burglary suspect was found hiding in a Sherman Oaks dumpster under a pile of leaves. He broke into cars, then forced his way into an older woman's apartment. She got out safely, and two neighbors cornered him in the garage and pepper-sprayed him until police arrived. It was like a movie. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

William Shatner, the 95-year-old Star Trek icon, performed his first-ever metal concert on September 19 at Park West in Chicago, backed by his band The uckers. The show served as a warm-up for his appearance at Riot Fest. In this National Review opinion piece, writer Becket Adams argues that so-called “woke” ideology has not disappeared, despite claims that a cultural backlash has largely defeated it. Instead, he contends that it has adapted, rebranded, and continues to influence institutions and public discourse. A report carried by KTLA and sourced from NewsNation says patients have filed lawsuits against Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, alleging that GLP-1 weight-loss and diabetes drugs caused a rare eye condition that led to sudden vision loss.

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. 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.

Fresh off a back-to-school appearance on KTLA, Ryan shares the full segment and expands on why curiosity can be one of the best ways to help kids navigate fear, anxiety, and unfamiliar situations.

This week, Regina sits down with Ashley Reidy Quinn, co-founder of a six-person real estate team at Coldwell Banker Warburg.

Retirement planning is about more than reaching a savings goal. It also means preparing for healthcare costs, changing income needs, housing decisions, relationships, purpose, and the transition into a completely different stage of life. This week, Regina shares 10 important things to consider before retirement, including how to budget for a longer life, understand your income sources, prepare for healthcare expenses, manage debt, and plan for required minimum distributions.

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.
The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Andy Riesmeyer Hour 2 (7.24) LeBron James is packing his bags for Philly — don’t let the door hit you on the way out, King. We also check in on Big Bear’s favorite bald eagles: Will Jackie recover from her injuries, and has a billionaire stepped in to protect their habitat for good? 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. KTLA photojournalist Meredith Gunning, a true East Coaster, joins Andy on the phone and reveals she ripped her shirt like a pro wrestler when she heard LeBron is heading to the 76ers. Crozier, a 38-year KFI veteran, looks back on working the air during the 1992 LA Riots. And in a free-speech controversy, a hot mic caught Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty and Vice Mayor Karina Talamantes privately discussing whether they can permanently ban disruptive speakers from public meetings.

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. Is this heatwave making LA’s 100-year-old pipes explode? We also get the latest from downtown on day 4 of the D4vd murder hearing in the killing of teenage Celeste Rivas. KFI reporter John Fink calls in live from San Diego Comic-Con 2026, where Johnny Depp showed up in character to promote his film Ebenezer and Fink bumped into another John — Cena. Andy plays some of President Trump’s remarks from tonight’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, then rolls into the TalkBacks as listeners are clearly already in full Friday-night mode. Andy admits he’s more of a drinker than a toker. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Andy Riesmeyer Hour 4 (7.23) KTLA’s Rachel Menitoff calls in live with the latest on day 3 of the D4vd murder hearing — and it’s as grim as it gets. Singer David Burke remains in court as prosecutors continue laying out the case in the killing of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The details are not for the faint of heart. Andy rolls into TalkBacks and the calls are flying: Is Shadow the eagle really flying between multiple nests in Big Bear like some kind of avian player? And the eternal debate rages on — is it “Eagles” or “The Eagles”? In-studio guest KTLA entertainment producer Christine Samra joins Andy to break down the so-called “Drake Curse” — why is the multimillionaire always crying and losing big bets? There’s even a website dedicated to it (thedrakecurse.com), and the internet’s advice is simple: Bet the opposite of whatever Drake does. More with Christine as they discuss William Shatner, who recently revealed he’s been quietly battling stage IV cancer for years while his daughter Melanie fought stage IV breast cancer at the same time. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Andy Riesmeyer Hour 3 (7.23) Andy’s in-studio guest is KTLA entertainment producer Christine Samra, who starts her day at 5 a.m. working alongside Andy on TV and is also a highly experienced traffic reporter — a true woman of many talents. She was thrilled to have Lou Diamond Phillips at the station today. Christine half-jokingly calls herself the “personality hire” at KTLA (we’re fine with it), and she and Andy dig into their chat with Phillips, who looked back on filming the ’80s Western classic Young Guns with Emilio Estevez, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, and Dermot Mulroney. Traffic experts Angel Martinez and Christine compare notes on the trickiest spots in LA for live traffic reports. In other news, stores like Sephora are turning the music down — not because of older shoppers, but because younger, often neurodivergent customers are asking for less sensory overload. Andy takes a quick trip down memory lane to his Abercrombie & Fitch days and takes a few shots at podcast stereotypes. And the latest homeless count in Los Angeles is up about 3.4%, back to 2024 levels, despite tens of millions spent — Mayor Karen Bass is pointing the finger at the Trump administration.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour with Andy Riesmeyer Hour 1 (7.23) It’s day 4 of Andy Riesmeyer is filling in for Tim Conway Jr. tonight, and it’s day 3 of the D4vd murder hearing. The singer is accused of killing underage girl Celeste Rivas while allegedly having a sexual relationship with her. KTLA’s Rachel Menitoff calls in live from the courthouse with the latest from today’s testimony. Andy’s been up since 5 a.m. for his KTLA entertainment segment — he loves the makeup chair but still has to style his own pompadour. We check in on bald eagle Jackie, currently recovering after a gang of eagles jumped her, while her mate Shadow has been spotted with a young female that may have been part of the attack. Earlier on TV, Andy interviewed “Young Guns” star Lou Diamond Phillips ahead of the 40th anniversary of “La Bamba,” plus a chat with teenage Utah band Driff Wood.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (7.15) Back in Boyle Heights, the nightmare continues after the massive cold-storage warehouse fire — 85 million pounds of rotting food is creating a vile stench, swarms of flies, rodents, a burst water main, and now oppressive humid summer heat on top of it all. They’ve only removed about 1.4 million pounds so far, and Timmy figures it’ll take years to clean up the mess while the EPA starts handing out fines. In much lighter news, longtime KFI board operator and resident sexpert Sam Zia joins Timmy in studio to celebrate his big move to Spain after 25 years with the station — complete with a bag full of dildos and butt plugs (relax, he’s a sex therapist, it checks out!). KTLA reporter Rachel Menitoff stayed ice-cold during a live shot when a giant flying cockroach landed on her head and crawled down her chest — true professional. Two corpse flowers are blooming at the Huntington Library, treating visitors to their signature rotting-flesh stench for 24–48 hours, and Grocery Outlet Bargain Market is expanding across Southern California.

HOUR 1 (07/15) – Shannon and Andy Riesmeyer celebrate Gary & Shannon cracking iHeart's Top 50 podcasts before covering the deadly boat sinking near Alcatraz, the latest escalation between the U.S. and Iran, Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing, President Trump's upcoming address on newly declassified 2020 election intelligence, and the viral cockroach that interrupted a KTLA live shot.They wrap the hour by debating whether airlines should offer adults-only flights after a toddler delayed a flight for hours and asking whether travelers would actually pay extra for the option.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
HOUR 2 (07/15) – Shannon and Andy welcome KTLA's Rachel Menitoff to relive the cockroach that crashed her live shot before sitting down with LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell. They discuss what Los Angeles learned from hosting the World Cup, whether the city is prepared for the Super Bowl and Olympics, staffing and technology challenges facing the LAPD, and the department's efforts to reclaim MacArthur Park from open-air drug activity and homelessness. The hour wraps with a conversation about why people willingly wait in long lines for the hottest restaurants and whether the wait has become part of the experience.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour –4 (7.9) Andy Reismeyer is in for Tim Conway Jr. and this hour does not hold back. He opens with the warning nobody wants to hear heading into summer: the beach water is dirty thanks to some serious diarrhea issues, so maybe think twice before you dive in. Then he lightens it up with the unhinged shenanigans he and his friends pulled as kids, including the legendary fake-thumbnail-in-the-salsa restaurant stunt. Next, Andy goes live with KTLA for some cross talk that's peak internet chaos. Swifties are out here buying actual trash, and a California restaurant is fining parents hundreds of dollars for their kids' bad behavior. Everybody's got an opinion on this one. Then it's Fixin' Stuff with home expert Dean Sharp, tackling plumbing and HVAC from an installer's perspective and previewing his Sunday show with the pros from Point Loma Home Pros who keep your house actually running. It's funny, it's gross, it's peak SoCal radio. Hit play and send it to a friend before their next beach day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
