9/11 25th Anniversary: Ground Zero to LA
Hour 1 (9.11) Twenty-five years on, the names were read aloud again — 184 at the Pentagon, all 2,977 in Lower Manhattan. Tim's got the whole day, plus a nursing home burning in Glendale. 6:05 — Fire tears through a nursing home on West Mountain Street in Glendale, near Brand Park. Firefighters contained the blaze to the building; residents and a staff member were taken to the hospital with minor injuries, and the cause is still unknown. Then to the 25th anniversary of 9/11: ceremonies at ground zero in New York and across the country. President Trump spoke at the Pentagon, where the names and photos of all 184 people killed there were presented. 6:20 — Nineteen al-Qaeda hijackers, four commercial airliners, three targets, one morning. Nearly 3,000 people were killed, and American foreign policy and national security were rewritten in a day. 6:35 —9.11 Memorial. A massive 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. A 6:50 — The Rams got embarrassed 27-7 by the 49ers in Melbourne. They didn't land until about 28 hours before kickoff while San Francisco had been in the country all week. A crowd of 100,021 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground watched the heaviest Super Bowl favorite in over a decade to fly 15 hours each way and spend under 40 hours on the ground. Kyren Williams' 5-yard run in the second quarter was the only time they scored all day. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

El Nino Sea Level Rise: A Foot by October
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.

9/11 Airspace Shutdown: A Pilot Remembers
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.

Pests, Payouts & the NFL Down Under
Hour 1 (9.10) Bugs, embezzlement, remembrance, and the NFL in Australia. We start with the pests taking advantage of this heat and humidity, then the FBI arrest of an Orange County booster club treasurer accused of draining more than $400,000 from a high school football program. We take time to remember two L.A. Kings scouts lost on 9/11, twenty-five years later. And we close in Melbourne, where the Rams and 49ers are about to make NFL history. 6:05 — Pest Control The heat and humidity are doing what they do every September: driving every crawling, flying, biting thing in Southern California indoors. Roaches, ants, rodents, spiders — why the muggy stretch sends pest calls through the roof, and what actually works when they show up in your kitchen. 6:20 — Aliso Viejo Woman Allegedly Stole Over $400K From High School Football Team Federal agents arrested 56-year-old Julie Hanway Molina outside her Aliso Viejo home Thursday morning on a four-count wire fraud indictment. Prosecutors say that while serving as treasurer of the Aliso Niguel High School booster club, she diverted more than $400,000 from the nonprofit to pay her mortgage and credit card bills, using falsified treasurer reports to cover it up. If convicted, she faces up to 20 years on each count. 6:35 — 2 L.A. Kings Scouts Who Died on 9/11 Remembered 25 Years Later Garnet "Ace" Bailey, the Kings' director of pro scouting, and amateur scout Mark Bavis were aboard United Flight 175 out of Boston on September 11, 2001, headed to training camp. Bailey was 53. Bavis was 31. A quarter century later, the team still wears an "AM" sticker on the back of every helmet, and the Kings mascot carries Bailey's name. 6:50 — Melbourne Goes NFL: Rams and 49ers Open Down Under The Rams and 49ers meet at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the first NFL regular season game ever played in Australia, in front of a crowd near 100,000. The Rams come in as favorites with a rebuilt defense — Myles Garrett, Trent McDuffie, and Aaron Donald out of retirement — while the Niners flew in nearly a week early to beat the jet lag that L.A. is ignoring entirely.

AI Doomsday, a Billion-Dollar Fire & the Wrong House
Hour 2 (9.10) The alarm bells are coming from inside the building this hour. We start with the Anthropic researcher who quit and warned that AI could kill us all by 2030 — and the company insider who agreed with him. Then a billion-dollar lawsuit over the Boyle Heights warehouse fire, plus two Delta flights that lost cabin pressure in the same stretch. A Hollywood Hills home invasion victim whose story didn't hold up. And the City Council writing a check for the "no-cost" Olympics. 7:05 — AI Doomsday From the Inside A 27-year-old researcher named Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic this week and posted the reason on X, where it's racked up more than 150 million views. His claim: the people building this technology privately believe it could kill us all by the end of the decade, and both Anthropic and OpenAI are "racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives." Then it got stranger — Anthropic's own head of alignment publicly agreed, putting the odds of AI wiping out humanity at greater than 10% in the next decade. 7:20 — Billion-Dollar Blame Game & Delta's Bad Week Lineage Logistics is suing solar operator Altus Power and contractor Pearce Services for more than $1 billion, claiming they sparked the June 17 Boyle Heights warehouse fire that burned for over a week and left the neighborhood with foul air, rodents, and insects for months. The suit alleges roughly 200 faulty electrical connections were known about by May and the contractors re-energized the array anyway. Both companies deny it. Then: two separate Delta flights lost cabin pressure. On Flight 2311 out of LAX, the oxygen masks dropped and the 737 fell 27,000 feet in about ten minutes before diverting to Las Vegas. 7:35 — Wrong House, Wrong Night A man in Hollywood Hills West told police he was robbed and beaten during an overnight home invasion — five suspects, a gun, a stolen safe, and a getaway car. There was just one problem with his story. Police say he doesn't live there and wasn't house-sitting either. Investigators now believe the victim was a squatter, which means somebody picked the wrong house on the wrong night, twice over. It happened a day after a reported hot prowl at Quentin Tarantino's place. 7:50 — The "No-Cost" Olympics Starts Costing The City Council voted 8-3 to authorize $13.04 million in debt financing for 107 non-patrol LAPD vehicles for the 2028 Games — trucks, vans, mobile substations, hazmat rigs. A separate $30 million request for 300 patrol cars got pushed back for more review. Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez voted no and pointed out the obvious: L.A. was promised a no-cost Olympics, and the vehicle tab alone is headed north of $40 million.

Popcorn, Pricey Vegas & a $2,000 Phone That Folds
Hour 3 (9.10) The 8 o'clock hour is about what things cost and who's paying. Record box office numbers, and it's not just the movies driving them. Airfare into Vegas jumping at double the national rate. The Rams' trip to Australia that didn't go according to plan. New COVID shots, a shrinking planet, and Torrance classrooms with no air conditioning. Then Apple's first foldable iPhone, at two grand. 8:05 — The Return of Popcorn Domestic ticket sales hit $4.76 billion between May 1 and Labor Day, the biggest summer in box office history — but the blockbusters aren't the whole story. Theaters say the real money is at the concession stand, with AMC reporting food sales up 50% from last year and its MegaBag of popcorn leading the way. Then a different kind of sticker shock: airfares into Las Vegas are up more than 20% since March, nearly double the national increase, and the data suggests more people are just driving. 8:20 — Rams Fall Flat Down Under The NFL's first-ever regular season game in Australia went to San Francisco, 27-7. Brock Purdy threw three touchdown passes at the Melbourne Cricket Ground while the Rams — Super Bowl favorites in a lot of preseason picks — managed one score all night, a 5-yard Kyren Williams run in the second quarter, and got shut out over the final two and a half quarters. The Niners spent nearly a week acclimating. The Rams flew in and out inside 48 hours. Draw your own conclusions. 8:35 — Shots, Shrinkage & Sweltering Classrooms The updated 2026-2027 COVID vaccines are rolling out nationwide at pharmacies and clinics, reformulated to target the XFG variant. Then look up: a new study out of the German Aerospace Center says Mercury is shrinking about 30% faster than we thought — as much as 14 miles off the diameter of a planet only 3,000 miles across. And closer to home, about 75% of Torrance Unified schools have no air conditioning, and with record heat and humidity this week, parents are pulling kids out early. The district says it won't count against attendance. 8:50 — Apple's $2,000 Fold Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo, its first foldable, at $1,999 for the base model and up to $3,199 loaded. It's shaped like a passport, opens to a 7.6-inch screen, and it's the biggest change to the iPhone since the home button disappeared in 2017. Preorders start October 16, shipping October 23. Duolingo, whose mascot is an owl named Duo, posted "We infringed upon" — and Samsung replied with a note of solidarity: they copied us, too. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Quitting, Suing, Squatting & Spending
Hour 4 (9.10) Three stories about consequences and one about a man who picked the wrong place to squat. We open by remembering two L.A. Kings scouts lost on 9/11, twenty-five years later. Then the billion-dollar lawsuit over the Boyle Heights warehouse fire, plus two Delta flights that lost cabin pressure in the same stretch.

(155 characters) 6:05 — Football is back, which is the only good news in a day like this one. It's 108 in the Valley, Timmy's wife clocked 114 in the car, and a brush fire broke out along the 405 in the Sepulveda Pass just after 4:15. It closed the Getty Center and put Brentwood and Bel-Air under evacuation warnings. 6:20 — The fire — now called the Getty Fire — burned about 25 acres before crews stopped its forward progress. And Delta 2311 out of LAX never made Salt Lake City: the masks dropped over the Mojave, the 737 went from 36,000 feet to 9,000 in about ten minutes, and 181 people ended up in Las Vegas instead. 6:35 — Pineapple Hill Saloon & Grill has been pouring at 4454 Van Nuys Blvd since 1978. Angela Marsden got a 60-day notice to vacate on August 6 for a redevelopment — and the In-N-Out on the same lot has been told it can stay. She was promised her lease back after construction.

(151 characters) 7:05 — Another 7-foot-high tide tonight between 8 and 10, on top of a week of Tropical Storm Marie swell that damaged garage in Long Beach and chewed up the bluff under beachfront homes in Dana Point. Meanwhile it's triple digits inland. And up in Topanga sits Canyon View Ranch — five acres of pools, waterfalls and tunnels built by Randy Neece and Joe Timko after a day at Disneyland convinced them dogs deserved one too. Timmy wants a dog. We agree. 7:20 — Road-racing legend Boris Said is pitching Elsinore Ring, a 300-acre private motorsport country club about 70 miles from LA. A 3.2-mile, 22-turn track designed by Hermann Tilke's firm, 275 garage condos that swallow eight cars apiece with a living room stacked on top, a glass-bottom pool over the track, and rooftop helipads on the penthouses. Membership runs about $300,000, capped at 450. Dream extreme, lads. 7:35 — In studio: college party promoter Dillon Hennessy and music agent Myles Goldman, in to talk "Rolling Loud: The Movie."

Santa Anita Pauses Olympic Oak Removal
Hour 3 (9.09) Santa Anita pulled its permit to cut 34 protected oaks for the 2028 Olympic course. Plus: Barry Melrose, who took the Gretzky Kings to the Cup Final, dead at 70. (161 characters) 8:05 — A 25-year-old was arrested Monday night near Kris Jenner's place after her private security stopped him in the neighborhood. Deputies booked him on suspicion of stalking; he's charged with one misdemeanor count of trespassing. And in Torrance, 499 condo owners each got a bill for more than $49,000 to cover $19 million in re-piping, elevators and a full podium rebuild. 8:20 — Barry Melrose has died at 70. The mullet, the suits, twenty-seven years at ESPN — but in this town he's the guy who walked in as a rookie head coach in 1992 and took Gretzky's Kings to the franchise's first Stanley Cup Final. 8:35 — Malibu declared a local emergency after a sinkhole roughly 30 by 60 feet and 25 to 30 feet deep opened in a driveway on Sea Level Drive. Down in Dana Point, eight homes on Beach Road are red-tagged and one has already been demolished. Meanwhile Santa Anita has hit pause on its permit to remove 34 protected oaks for the Olympic cross-country course, and LADOT wants to cut Sunset down to one lane each way from Silver Lake to downtown. 8:50 — The humidity is the whole story. Downtown's heat index topped out around 116 today, which is why 98 degrees felt like standing in a dryer. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hurricanes to Heatwaves, It’s a Week of Wild and Wiggy Weather!
Hour 1 (9.04) Sepulveda Pass on the 405 — after a rare storm dropped about 1.5 inches of rain across Los Angeles and even Antelope Valley. The much-hyped hurricane mostly fizzled into rain instead of chaos, but Long Beach and Huntington Beach are still dealing with a huge swell, and the next threat is already here: extreme heat, high humidity, and possible 100-degree temps on the coast. Then it’s HOA sticker shock out of Torrance, where condo owners got hit with a $50,000 special assessment each, plus a look at the viral Gen Z “darty” wellness-party trend of barely dressed college kids doing yoga and runs on frat-house lawns.

Cargo-Plane Crashes and Emmy-Award Smashes
Hour 2 (9.04) Nathan Fielder’s new documentary on imprisoned Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, then aviation buff. Amazon Prime cargo jet that crashed near Miami International Airport on a flight from San Juan, killing five people on the ground. KFI’s queen of entertainment Heather Brooker joins him to unpack the Creative Arts Emmys — why the awards now sprawl across multiple nights instead of one big TV celebration, plus the big winners “Widow’s Bay” and “Spider Noir.” September in LA already feels like awards season as they talk “below the line” honors, overseas series being lifted from South Korea and India, a tearjerker posthumous Emmy for Rob Reiner’s guest role on “The Bear,” and 90-year-old Julie Andrews picking up her fourth Emmy for her “Bridgerton” voice-over. Andy closes with Listener Talkbacks, naming and shaming the best of the bunch — and a whole lot of people who, like the crew, really hate their HOA. And Ed Moore.

No ‘Stairway’! And as it Turns Out, No Encores Either!
Hour 3 (9.04) Shouting like a brat at newsman Rick Chambers mid-broadcast at Laurel Canyon and Ventura Blvd. Then he and the crew dive into the latest concert trend — no encores! — before launching Andy’s favorite caller game, Solo 2 Solo, where he plays stripped-down guitar-only tracks and listeners guess the song and artist. A caller from Japan comes close twice, the next listener nails Pantera’s “Walk,” and the show pays respects to the late Dimebag Darrell. More Solo 2 Solo follows as KFI listeners prove they’re as bad at listening as the Riesmeyer crew, with a salute to the late George Harrison rounding out a loud, chaotic, music-nerd hour.

It’s Bubble Trouble for Gen Z, Who Are Done with Spicy Water
Hour 4 (9.04) SoCal braces for a miserable heatwave that feels like 110 with 100% humidity — Foggy Bottom with palm trees. Gen Z is officially over “spicy water,” and vodka seltzer brands are reading the room and pulling the plug. Then the crew rips into HOA hell: sky-high special assessments that have condo-dwelling Angelenos furious, including one Torrance building staring down a $50K hit — each. Listeners are invited to name-and-shame the people making their lives miserable, before Heather dives into stretched-out Emmys week. “I Love Lucy” still winning hardware, Rob Reiner getting a posthumous Emmy for “The Bear” and a standing ovation that left no dry eyes, and a last-call hope that Hollywood’s working dreamers can keep the industry we love from circling the drain.
