From the diamond to disaster readiness, Orange County Water Agencies announced a new firefighting tool to battle future wildfires. Meanwhile, the OC Food Bank reported a major surge in families needing help—listeners were reminded they can call 2-1-1 for food assistance, and Conway’s crew even tested the line live on air.  Later, LAPD Officer Jason Jacobson joined the show to discuss the deadly Studio City home invasion, where a 79-year-old veteran shot and killed an intruder in self-defense. The show promoted a GoFundMe for the Police Unity Tour in Memory, available on @ConwayShow via X and Instagram.  The lighter side of the hour featured an odd story out of North Hollywood, where a dog ingested meth during a walk—just weeks after eating weed. The show wrapped with a replay of Norm Macdonald in conversation with Ray Romano, a perfect comedic finish. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
