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!

Where were you in 1988? We kick things off with a fun throwback and a look at some of the greatest sports moments of that era — nostalgia, legendary plays, and why certain years just hit different. Then we dive into Los Angeles politics and housing as reporter Michael Monks breaks down why the L.A. City Council hit pause on voting for proposed reforms to the city’s controversial mansion tax. Supporters say it’s necessary, critics say it’s backfiring — and new economic studies suggest it may be slowing housing development during one of the worst housing shortages in L.A. history. Next, a serious aviation warning: the NTSB says Burbank Airport could be the site of a future mid-air collision if changes aren’t made. What’s causing the concern, and what it could mean for air travel in Southern California. And finally, a lighter note — moving to Canada and a great Wayne Gretzky story involving trophies, humility, and why even the greatest of all time has moments that make you smile. A little history, a little policy, a little safety, and a legendary sports story to close it out — all in one episode. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We kick things off with one of life’s most important questions: what kind of person hangs a portrait of themselves? From Wayne Gretzky’s unmatched record of having the most records, to Mark Thompson’s mysterious 8x10 glossy celebrity photo on his nightstand, we debate ego, legacy, and — naturally — what side of the bed do you sleep on? Then we get real about relationships. Do you have a snoring problem? We talk through the unspoken rules of sleep, compromise, and the secrets to a great marriage, because nothing tests love like a bad night’s sleep. Next, a serious (and slightly unsettling) trend: younger kids gambling on sports. After Ben Affleck told Jimmy Kimmel his son asked him for gambling money, we dig into how sports betting went from bookies and guys “running numbers” to being everywhere — and what that means for parents today. We wrap it up with “Good Times Go Bad” with Mark Thompson, diving into a new Gen Z reality: parents applying for jobs with their kids — and even going on interviews for them. Is this helpful parenting or crossing the line? Either way, the generational shift is impossible to ignore. Funny, uncomfortable, and surprisingly insightful — this episode hits all the angles. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Then we get into relationships. Do you have a snoring problem? We share the unspoken rules of sleep, compromise, and a few secrets to a great marriage, because nothing tests love quite like a bad night’s sleep. Next, a growing concern: younger kids gambling on sports. After Ben Affleck told Jimmy Kimmel that his son asked him for gambling money, we talk about how betting went from bookies and guys “running numbers” to apps on every phone — and what parents should be paying attention to. We roll into “Good Times Go Bad” with Mark Thompson, looking at a new Gen Z reality: parents applying for jobs for their kids — and even showing up to interviews with them. Is it support, or is it too much? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Rams & Broncos both go down — and with next year’s Super Bowl already set for 2/14, the pressure is officially on for a comeback season. 🏈 Michael Monks joins us for “Unserious”, breaking down the latest on Olympic preparations and ticket sales, plus how ready (or not) L.A. really is for the global spotlight. Then, a strange one: mysterious low-frequency humming noises are keeping residents in Columbus, Ohio up at night. Industrial activity? Infrastructure issues? Cicadas? Something else entirely? We dig into what’s known — and what definitely isn’t. Also, a massive storm wreaks havoc on air travel, grounding more than 20,000 flights nationwide, including major disruptions at LAX.

We close with breaking labor news as Kaiser nurses go on strike, and a look at the 7-day forecast ahead. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A massive storm slams the U.S., impacting more than 200 million people, leaving at least 26 dead, triggering 20,000 flight delays, and causing widespread power outages across multiple states. We look at a new ranking naming Nevada among the worst states to raise a family, plus a major development as the Fullerton crash suspect is now connected to a murder. Then, a local oddity: what’s really going on at the Lowe’s on Green Spot in Highland and its infamous browser bin — and more fallout tied to the Fullerton murder case. We also spotlight “DROP”, the tool that helps delete your personal data from free websites and reduce your online footprint. We wrap it up Conway-style with cleaning up Burbank, a little pizza talk, and the kind of local flavor that makes the show appointment listening. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The show kicks off with Rams hype — “1, 2, 3… RAMS!” — plus a fun conversation about Tim’s brief life as a model, stadium anthems, and what song truly represents the Rams, sparked by Fernando Mendoza singing Fernando at the stadium. Things turn intense with breaking news as a jewelry store robbery in Anaheim Hills leads to a high-speed pursuit that ends in two separate collisions, raising questions about public safety and police chases. Bestselling author Brad Meltzer joins the show to talk about The Viper, the third novel in his Zig & Nola series. Meltzer breaks down the fast-paced thriller centered on a deadly conspiracy hidden inside a burial suit, a decades-old mystery, and the emotional investigation tied to the murder of Zig and Nola’s mother.

We also look at the deadly cold weather sweeping across the country, with damages and disruptions topping $200 million. LAPD Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton comes on to discuss the arrest of Ryan Wedding, one of the FBI’s Most Wanted Fugitives, and how the takedown unfolded.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The hour opens with a traffic accident on Hollywood Way at Tulare, followed by a visit from Kiana Raymondo, now with ABC30 TV in Fresno. We also talk about COSM, the immersive venue quickly becoming the place to watch Rams games, and dive into the oddly fascinating Costco rotisserie chicken lawsuit, plus the viral “9:45 trick” shoppers swear by. Retail takes center stage as we break down reports that nearly 80% of holiday decorations are returned, including at Hobby Lobby, and why retailers are cracking down on returns as the practice costs companies billions of dollars each year. The Costco chicken controversy continues with details about a lawsuit alleging hidden preservatives, while attention shifts back to football as the Rams gear up for the NFC Championship game against the Seattle Seahawks.
