Hour 1 (11.13) A student pilot on his first solo cross-country was in the air when the FAA grounded every departure in America.   6:05 — The FAA stopped every departure in the country after a telecommunications outage hit all 22 regional air traffic control centers.

USC took off before the ground stopped hitting.  Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI! 🎙️ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1 (11.11) 6:05 — Today marks the last Wednesday before Tim Conway Jr.’s big birthday bash this Saturday at the Morongo! All the crew will be there including Neil Saavedra! Last night there was a horrible car crash in busy North Hollywood, near where Tim used to live, and three beautiful, innocent people were killed, including popular street vendors who were known in the community. Following the horror crash, LAPD had that scene locked down, and the family of the people who were hit were also there. So, so sad.  6:20 — Today is Veterans Day, and Timmy salutes each and every one of you who served and fought for our country. Especially the vets who live in the San Fernando Valley, where today marked the 23rd Annual Veterans Day Parade honoring those who served.  6:35 — Every Veterans Day, Tim loves to play this one song to honor the US Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy and Coast Guard, so here it is. At KFI, there is nothing but the utmost respect for everyone who served.  6:50 — There’s a new scam! And it involves artificial intelligence. It happened to Masa, a mom n pop pizza place in Echo Park. A person claiming to be a DoorDash customer, “Danny B”, sent back a photo of a burnt deep-dish pizza, claiming it was the pie they ordered from the restaurant. But the owner ran the image through an AI detector, which determined the photo was indeed fake. The refund has since been reversed, but is this new climate of AI fakery hardworking businesses are having to battle.  #TimConwayJr #NeilSaavedra #Morongo #NorthHollywood #carcrash #streetvendors #isthisAI #DoorDash #MasaEchoPark #aiscam #VeteransDay #USArmy #AirForce #Marine #Navy #CoastGuard  Thanks for listening to Tim Conway Jr. on KFI! 🎙️ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 (11.11) 7:05 — Tonight’s in-studio guests are David and Lulu Kling, old friends of Conway. David served proudly with CHP for nearly 30 years before he retired. Their daughter, Palm Springs Police Officer Lesie Zerebny, along with her partner, Officer Jose Vega, were killed in the line of duty by a career criminal while responding to a domestic violence call. Leslie was a rookie, the newest higher at Palm Springs PD, who had only been serving for under two years when she was killed. Officer Lesie had only recently given birth to her daughter Cora, who is now aged 10. The man who murdered Officer Leslie has been on death row but will now not face the death penalty thanks to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s order this week to commute every death-row inmate to life in prison.   7:20 — Back to more with David and Lulu Kling, whose daughter was killed in the line of duty in 2016. David and Lulu Kling are the parents of Palm Springs Police Officer Lesley Zerebny, a 27-year-old mother who was fatally shot in the line of duty alongside her partner, Officer Jose "Gil" Vega, on October 8, 2016. Now, there murderer’s death sentence has been overturned to life in prison without parole, and it drives us all nuts, the injustice of it all. Timmy discusses with the Klings what happened when they found out Newsom overturned their daughter’s murderer’s death sentence and what it all means.   7:35 — It’s been hotter than usual these past few days, but this weekend it’s going to be wet, wet, wet. And up in the Sieras and Mammoth, they’re going to get loads of snow. Out in the desert at the Morongo, where the Conway crew and select listeners will be Saturday night to celebrate Timmy’s birthday, there’s a 75% chance of rain. Meanwhile, No Tip, a startup delivery service that launched in Venice, will begin delivering food from Costco — at a massive markup! For example, a $10 Costco pizza will cost you $30 for home delivery.  7:50 — It seems that nowadays, everyone is sick. Emergency rooms across the country are seeing people with respiratory viruses. Just how vaccinated is The Conway Show crew? Meanwhile, in Irvine, instead of ding, dong, ditch, kids are amping up the annoyance factor by kicking in doors as part of the new social media door-kick challenge that rises to the level of vandalism. Kids these days — are they getting stupider? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
