    Vincent Thomas Bridge Closure: 16-Month Detours

    Hour 1 (11.06) Three men tried to fly 3,000 tarantulas out of Peru stuffed in socks. Plus: the Vincent Thomas Bridge closes for 16 months, and the 91 drops to three lanes for a weekend. 6:05 — Santa Ana winds bring a Red Flag Warning on Saturday, Nov. 7 to the Santa Clarita Valley, the Santa Monica and Santa Susana mountains, and the western San Gabriels. Power shutoffs are possible, which is why a generator matters. LA County Fire has pre-positioned crews, and Topanga Canyon Boulevard is residents-only between Mulholland and PCH. On the coast, morning king tides above 7 feet raise the risk of coastal flooding. 6:20 — Peru arrested two Germans and a Polish man trying to check suitcases full of tarantulas, hidden in dozens of socks, onto flights to Europe. A group of tarantulas is called a “cluster.” Morgan Fairchild, 76, the soap star who played Chandler Bing’s mom on Friends, joined OnlyFans and says her content is “not that kind.” That leads into Netflix’s three-part docuseries The One About Matthew Perry. Plus, a nude-in-the-sky story. 6:35 — For 55 hours, eastbound 91 shrinks to three lanes between the 241 and Green River Road near Corona. Two of the open lanes are toll lanes, and they’re free for everyone during the closure. Caltrans is replacing 82-foot culvert segments so wildlife can cross under the freeway. 6:50 — The Vincent Thomas Bridge between San Pedro and Terminal Island closed at 12:01 a.m. Nov. 7 for a 16-month, $752.8 million deck replacement. It’s expected to reopen in early 2028. Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI! 🎙️ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Timmy is Off, So We’ve Got Jimmy Eat Talk with Closet Emo King Andy Riesmeyer

    Hour 1 (11.04) KTLA’s Andy Riesmeyer is filling in for Timmy C tonight while the city works through its post-Election Day hangover and the votes are tallied. Results will get a full look as the night goes on. First up: A round of impressions — and impressions of impressions. Andy’s superstition is that if a newsroom or radio station is too nice, the show suffers, so the general scrappiness around here is a good sign. KFI is no place for germaphobes, except Tim. Andy just got back from a little vacation in San Francisco and was shocked how clean it’s become in the two years since Daniel Lurie was elected. Whoever ends up mayor of LA — Karen Bass or Nithya Raman — needs to take a page from San Francisco’s book. Breaking sad news: Longtime ABC and CBS anchor Harold Greene has died at 82. He was the inspiration for “Anchorman.” Andy admits he loves collecting and restoring old cars; he’s selling one on an auction site with no reserve and is nervous nobody bids or they lowball him. Prop 38 didn’t get much attention until a post on X went viral. The measure would put about $9 billion into immunization clinical studies, with roughly $4.6 billion going to a nonprofit run by three people, one of whom is billionaire spinal surgeon Gary K. Michelson, who put the prop on the ballot. He spent more than $70 million of his own money to get it there. The crew then debates the importance of emo princes Jimmy Eat World, who play the Hollywood Bowl this weekend. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Blood-Bank Cyberattacks Make Our Blood Boil as European Foods Spoil

    Hour 2 (11.04) Is Jimmy Eat World better than OK Go? The crew’s mostly team Jimmy, though Crozier’s not buying it. They also weigh in on Blink-182 and Green Day while noting pop punk is having a moment. Andy plays some listener TalkBacks and does more impersonations. Everyone agrees Nikki’s got the best voice in the building. How is the European freezer hack not bigger news? Hackers remotely cranked supermarket fridges and freezers across at least ten countries — Ireland, Estonia, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Germany, and more — and spoiled millions of euros in food. It follows a bigger hit on roughly 700 French stores last month. Experts say it looks Russian-linked, US military commissaries in Europe may have been targeted, and French blood banks got hit too. In Tennessee, vintage guitars worth thousands were stolen in Chattanooga and turned up at Carter Vintage Guitars when someone tried to sell them. Staff got suspicious, called the cops, and one suspect using the fake name Nico Simpson was nabbed after leaving the instruments to be authenticated. In West Hollywood, people in polycules and other multi-partner setups can now register as a government-recognized domestic partnership as of today, though not at the same level as marriage. And in Myrtle Beach, a cop pulled a gun on another officer after someone heated fish in the work microwave. The crime was lunch. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    It’s Time for Butt-Rock Shenanigans, Courtesy of The Foosh — and Andy’s a Fan

    Hour 3 (11.04) LAPD released audio of one of its helicopters narrowly avoiding a collision with a military chopper over Echo Park earlier this week, with the officers involved losing their cool. Let’s have a listen to those not-so-friendly skies. Helicopters are incredibly expensive, and they’re the biggest line item at most TV stations. Next up is Solo 2 Solo: Andy plays an isolated guitar solo from a famous rock song and the caller has to name the song, the artist and the guitarist. The first one may or may not be from a band whose name rhymes with Strolling Bones. Andy keeps the guitar-solo game going while getting nostalgic as he heads toward 40 — he even got the old band back together. Sounds like early-onset midlife crisis. Earlier today at KTLA he interviewed “Star Trek” actor William Riker, who’s doing a pancreatic cancer fundraiser. Does Ryan Seacrest still have his own wing at iHeartMedia HQ? Word is he doesn’t come in the building anymore because he doesn’t like running into the riffraff — meaning us. And now it’s The Foosh’s turn to try to stump DJ Riesmeyer with a solo of his own. Hint: the band is considered super cringe and comes from Canada. No, it’s not Sum 41. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Guitar Solos From Guitar Heroes, and Hacked European Freezers with the Impressionable Crew

    Hour 4 (11.04) Andy Riesmeyer is dealing with a proverbial post-Election Day hangover. First up: A round of Solo 2 Solo, and rock’n’roll chitchat — and impressions of impressions. It’s an impression inception. Hackers cranked supermarket freezers across at least ten European countries up to 50-plus degrees Celsius, spoiling millions of euros in food. It follows a bigger hit on roughly 700 French stores last month. Experts say it looks Russian-linked, US military commissaries in Europe may have been targeted, and French blood banks got hit, too. Andy also recalls the time a bandmate stole someone’s girlfriend and got his guitar stolen in return. It turned up on Craigslist, a sting failed, but a MySpace threat worked — the guitar showed up in the dead of night. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Timmy and the Jet, and the Bet, and the Wet… Halloween Weekend

    Hour 1 (11.02) Happy belated Halloween with Timmy and Mark! Mark barely got any trick-or-treaters at his mansion, but Tim had hundreds show up in Burbank — thousands of kids out on Saturday and he didn’t run over a single one. His snagged a 10-pound Walmart turkey and his wife made the best gravy known to man. Single ladies, Tim’s advice is simple: Don’t brag that you can’t cook or the guys will sprint the other way. Daylight saving ended and it’s darker earlier — the lads like it. Tim’s a night owl and digs the night-owl crowd. No “Conway Show” on election night, but he’s been invited to parties for Karen Bass and AG candidate Michael Gates. Both were recent guests, so that doesn’t bode well given Tim’s track record. \ Tim and Mark are talking the horrific Learjet crash in West Palm Beach: The plane was doing about 1,200 miles an hour when it exploded into a mobile home park, killing everyone onboard including seven passengers and two crew. It was headed for the Bahamas, piloted by a 20-year-old woman with a co-pilot who had tens of thousands of hours. Tim’s annual Morongo birthday party is Saturday, November 14 upstairs in the Drum Room — a month after his real birthday. You’re all invited; he’ll be re-gifting stuff including a flatscreen.

Mark’s the hilltop Halloween grinch with no candy and no decorations; Tim puts his up then yanks the skeletons and pumpkins down by noon Tim’s daughter still hasn’t touched her ballot, so he threatened to fill it out and send it himself — Mark confirmed that’s illegal. Mark the Democrat is fine with California’s slow vote count. Lions linebacker Jack Campbell is still in the hospital after a brutal neck injury that left him facedown and motionless. McDonald’s is doing a pop-up fine-dining thing with its own menu. A new study links energy drinks to cardiac arrest 11 times more often in young people; Tim remembers one that had him staring at the ceiling for two days after a long drive. Martha Stewart apologized twice for her deleted homeless-person Halloween costume. Crew guesses on her net worth; Mark got closest at about $400 million. She said it was to highlight homelessness.

    There’s Acrimony in the ESPN Booth — But Never in the KFI Booth with Tim and Mark

    Hour 3 (11.02) Christmas is coming and The Grove is already getting festive. The live 100-foot Christmas tree goes up November 16 for the 25th anniversary of the tradition, followed by a month of faux snow. The lads are also looking at the LA and California candidates on the eve of Election Day. El Niño is on the way — a new UC Davis study flags San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, Moss Landing, and Humboldt Bay as some of the West Coast spots most vulnerable to damage and infrastructure problems. There’s tension in the ESPN booth between Troy Aikman and Joe Buck; industry guy Mark has the story. Gov. Newsom wants to make California more competitive for film and TV and is pushing to expand the Hollywood tax credit to $1 billion through 2040. If it passes, productions and jobs should return, though filming in LA is still struggling. Augustine Wine Bar in Sherman Oaks is closing after 12 years because the economy is too tough. People whose homes were damaged in the Norte Fire in San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano are now fighting their insurance companies.

    The Sensor Ship Has Come in For Savvy Insurers Who Are Minority Reporting Fires ’n’ Floods

    Hour 4 (11.02) Timmy’s convinced any candidate he has on the show or endorses is doomed. Both he and Mark are fine paying for good public servants — cops, teachers, bomb squad. They’re still stunned by the Learjet that broke up over West Palm Beach and slammed into a mobile home park. It happened so fast there was almost no room to recover; Mark notes how unforgiving private jets are when anything goes wrong, and Tim calls it a brutal reminder that even fancy planes can come down hard. Burbank Halloween was cold, rainy, and foggy — basically Pacific Northwest cosplay and Tim loved it. Mosquitoes are still around, so a Chinese startup built an AI laser that shoots their wings off so they drop and die. Mark remains the hilltop grinch with no decorations or candy; Tim puts his up then clears the skeletons and pumpkins by noon. One guy dressed as Michael Myers was staring down kids until the cops had a word.
