Tim Conway, Jr. was born and raised in Los Angeles and is proud to admit that he survived 10 years in what he can only describe as a “youth detention center”, better known as the Los Angeles Unified School District. He spent his childhood around Santa Anita, Hollywood Park and Del Mar Racetracks with his father, Tim Conway (Carol Burnett Show), four younger brothers and older sister.
During his early career, he produced his own internet radio show and thanks to its popularity, he was offered an opportunity to host a radio talk show on 97.1 KLSX-FM. Over twelve successful years, Conway’s show became famous for providing Southern Californian’s with a wide variety of entertaining topics including live police chases, Hollywood craziness, and sharing current events with a twist of humor. In 2009 when KLSX switched to an all-music format, Conway joined forces with KFI-AM 640, the No. 1 news/talk radio station in the country, to continue bringing his unique and comedic perspective to topics like politics, gambling, and more. Fans love his knowledge of history and his down-to-earth take on life; and also enjoy the refreshing levity he delivers.
Throughout his career, Conway has been featured on numerous television programs (Fox 11, CBS, NBC, ABC) and has also received various industry honors including: a Golden Mic award, an Edward R. Murrow award, and a Marconi nomination for “Personality of the Year” (2016). When he’s not busy entertaining listeners, he enjoys spending time with his family, supporting local charitable organizations, and hanging out at the racetracks!

The Dodgers are aiming to complete a sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 4 at Dodger Stadium. The show also touched on a new legal battle where Smucker’s is suing Trader Joe’s, claiming its peanut butter and jelly sandwiches too closely resemble Uncrustables. Angel Martinez joined to help listeners navigate traffic around the stadium on game night, and the segment wrapped up with a rundown of the most dangerous intersections in Southern California.
The show opened with a fun chat about how “knowing your freeways” has become a strange Southern California brag — and Bellio was hilariously “raffled off.” Heavy snow hit Mammoth Mountain with up to 22 inches, even though ski season hasn’t started yet. A bizarre story followed about a man using a blowtorch and gasoline in an attempted arson at a California McDonald’s. The hour wrapped with Shohei Ohtani taking the mound for Game 4 at Dodger Stadium, a nod to Dave Roberts’ historic 2004 Red Sox comeback, and a reminder that Los Angeles is just 1,000 days away from hosting the Olympics.
The hour opened with a tribute to Kobe Bryant’s legendary mindset and work ethic — “Job’s not done.” Bellio shared memories from her time working with Lakers greats like Kobe, Shaq, and the late Chick Hearn. The tone shifted as Los Angeles agreed to pay an $828 million settlement over new sexual abuse claims. Conway then lightened things up with some wild Vegas roommate stories, and the hour wrapped with news that Jack in the Box sold Del Taco — and took a financial hit in the process.

Two L.A. men face charges for misusing public funds meant to fight homelessness. Amy King checks in live from the Dodgers game. Rock legend Ace Frehley, founding member of KISS, has died at 74.

Car Prices Soar: Buying a new car is now more expensive than ever, with the average price exceeding $50,000. Price hikes are driven by luxury vehicle and EV sales, along with concerns over potential tariffs. Affordable $20,000 cars are nearly extinct. With an average U.S. salary of $66,622, many buyers take out nearly 6-year loans, paying about $749 monthly. Added costs include maintenance, fuel, insurance, and depreciation — with cars losing 20% of their value in the first year and 15% annually over the next four years. COVID Relief Fraud Allegations: Thirteen LA County employees are accused of filing fraudulent claims for COVID relief funds. Meanwhile, the Port of LA continues facing challenges, now dealing with the impacts of a government shutdown. Beach Safety Alert: Southern California beaches are under high alert due to runoff and discharge entering the ocean after rainfall. Beachgoers are urged to stay cautious. Real Estate: A segment highlighted the most expensive zip codes in California, showcasing areas with the priciest real estate in the state.

Meanwhile, TV hosts TJ Holmes and Amy Robach are officially engaged after three years together. A viral video of Oreo the dog during the Palisades Fire has inspired a new California law protecting pets in emergencies. And finally, the Gold Rush is back — with record-high gold prices prompting Americans to cash in family heirlooms.
A shopper in New Jersey was stabbed in a Marshalls parking lot after an argument over a long checkout line turned violent. In Los Angeles, officials say homelessness numbers are underreported, even as pop culture buzzes over Katy Perry reportedly dating former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau.

Meanwhile, drivers in Pennsylvania show off at the Parallel Parking Championships. And schools across the U.S. are banning the viral “6–7” slang craze, calling it a disruptive trend among students.
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.
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.

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.
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.
California is soaked — last year alone, 650 trillion pounds of rainwater fell on the state, and another powerful system is rolling in. Forecasters warn of flooding during the morning commute, especially in Malibu burn scar areas, where the LAFD is pre-positioning crews in anticipation of mudslides and debris flow. In Torrance, a shocking attack unfolded at a local school where three people were stabbed. Police arrested a former student who also claimed to have planted two pipe bombs nearby — prompting an urgent investigation and lockdowns in the area. Overseas, hope and heartbreak collided as hostages and prisoners were released after 738 days, marking the start of a fragile ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict. The hour wrapped with safety tips for residents in flood-prone zones — including evacuation alerts and a new alternative to sandbags: Quick Dam barriers, which activate and expand when exposed to water.
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.
Multiple people were killed in a devastating explosion at Accurate Energetic Systems, an explosives manufacturing plant in McEwen, Tennessee, about 50 miles west of Nashville.

A popular Halloween decoration, “Jack Kellington,” was stolen, sparking neighborhood frustration. Meanwhile, authorities uncovered an international crime ring involving house sitters and cleaners accused of inside jobs targeting homes.
A couple who hired house sitters discovered they were actually professional thieves. The city of Vernon, in southeast Los Angeles County, was named the most burglarized city in California by Safewise, while an apartment shooting in Sun Valley left three teenagers injured and the suspect remains at large. Officials continue to monitor the Palisades Fire, which has been smoldering for seven days—fires can persist underground for months, even under snow. A man shared a disturbing account of a ride with an Uber driver now accused of starting the blaze. The show wrapped with Gary & Shannon joining Tim Conway Jr. for a skit parodying a man using Ted Bundy–style tactics.
Florida federal judge ordered Jonathan Rinderknecht, the man charged in the deadly Palisades Fire, to remain jailed after prosecutors cited his arsonist tendencies and his family’s concerns over his declining mental state. The judge questioned both his mental health and his reliability to attend future hearings in California. Flood watch was issued in San Bernardino County through Saturday night amid heavy downpours. The LAFD also released after-action reports on the Palisades Fire. Interim LAFD Chief Ronnie Villaneuva discussed what he would have done differently during the January 7th blaze. Norwalk resident Andrew Garcia, who spent hundreds on tickets for what he believed to be LeBron James’ retirement game, filed a small claims lawsuit against the Lakers star for $865.66, accusing him of fraud and misrepresentation after the “Second Decision” turned out not to be about retirement.
