Conway opens with a frustrating nightmare: problems with the new electric Dodge muscle car — the trunk won’t reliably open, the steering wheel vibrates over 30 mph, and customer service/dealership support has been a mess.    Riverside is stepping up enforcement to catch carpool lane cheaters — and the big headline is that 3+ occupants is becoming the new HOV standard in some areas.    Pokémon card shops across Southern California are seeing a spike in thefts as demand (and resale value) for collectibles keeps rising.    And to wrap it up, Mark gets a batch of listener talkbacks — with surprisingly solid tips and suggestions to troubleshoot the car issues. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark Thompson in for Conway. Ring is taking heat after a Super Bowl ad sparked backlash — raising new privacy concerns about home security cameras and what data gets collected.    Monks & Merrill stop by in-studio (weekdays 12–3) with the latest headlines and some classic Conway back-and-forth.    A pricey L.A. parks controversy: hikers at Runyon Canyon are furious over a nearly $1 million restroom installation.    And in the grab-bag of wild news: Olympic drama as the ex-girlfriend of an athlete who admitted to cheating speaks out — plus Conway admits he’s oddly locked in on women’s curling… and Riverside ramps up enforcement to catch carpool lane cheaters. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LAPD’s West Valley Division gets honored today — a shout-out to the officers and staff serving the Valley.  Dean Sharp, “The House Whisperer” (custom home designer and host of HOME on KFI AM 640 — Saturdays 6–8am, Sundays 9am–noon) joins Conway for Romancing Your Home on Valentine’s Day weekend: the most unusual homeowner requests, “open door dumps,” and easy ways to level up your home’s romance factor.  More with Dean on pre-fab/manufactured homes — why they can save a shocking amount of materials, how well-built they’ve become, and why ADUs are exploding across SoCal.  And a sad local loss: Sandy Steers, executive director of Friends of Big Bear Valley, has passed away. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chip Yost has the latest on the Nancy Guthrie case — she’s now been missing for 12 days, and the pressure is only ramping up.  The conversation shifts to Tucson’s Catalina Foothills and why the area gets so dark at night — it’s considered a “dark sanctuary,” with local rules that limit nighttime lighting near the base of the Santa Catalina mountains.  The Nancy Guthrie story also sparks a bigger discussion about home security, especially for aging parents: what systems make sense, where cameras should go, and how cameras didn’t stop crime so much as expose how much is happening around us.  And Conway’s got a programming update — he’s heading back to nights on the 17th, plus a reminder to catch the show on demand… and a side quest on why so many 16-year-olds don’t want their driver’s license anymore (fear), including Conway’s own first driving test fail. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Petros admits he won’t be touring Ivy League campuses anytime soon — and the conversation turns into a full-blown reality check on money: U.S. household debt is pushing $19 trillion, and parents feel like they’re being told they should already have a small fortune saved for college by the time their kid hits middle school.  USC becomes the poster child for sticker shock, with its 2025–26 cost of attendance nearing $100,000 — and it’s even been cited as the nation’s most expensive in recent rankings.  Then Tim reminds everyone: the Conway Show is heading back to nights, so it’s time to play the hits and bring back the classic chaos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Would you ever melt down an Olympic gold medal… and if you did, what’s it actually worth? The crew kicks things off with a surprisingly fun (and slightly unhinged) debate, then gets practical with Uber for Teens — how it works, what parents can see, and what teens can do in the app — with Foosh breaking it down from the driver’s seat. Plus, the reality check: only about a quarter of 16-year-olds are licensed now, which leads to a full-on nostalgia spiral about sprinting to the DMV the second you turned 16.   Then it’s weather whiplash: rain hit overnight with more on the way, ground temps holding steady, and a look at how Seal Beach is battling the ocean to protect homes. From there, we ride the wave into a high surf advisory for OC and San Diego — including how insane The Wedge can get — while mountain communities sit in desperate need of snow.  And just when you think you can relax, TikTok drops a new twist: “Local Feed” — a new tab aimed at surfacing posts, businesses, and happenings near you. And for blackjack players in California, there’s a big change coming: the state just approved new DOJ cardroom regulations affecting blackjack-style games (and player-dealer rotation). The rules take effect April 1, 2026, and could mean your favorite “blackjack” tables at cardrooms may have to be eliminated or heavily modified. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

We kick things off with one of life’s most important questions: what kind of person hangs a portrait of themselves? From Wayne Gretzky holding records for… holding records, to Mark Thompson’s mysterious 8x10 glossy celebrity photo on his nightstand, we debate ego, legacy, and — inevitably — what side of the bed do you sleep on?  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.

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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shocking video out of Fullerton shows a toddler falling out of a moving SUV, leading to the mother’s arrest and renewed questions about child safety and accountability.  We also break down a dangerous used-car warning involving illegal airbag parts that can explode and shoot deadly shrapnel into drivers — what to look for and how this is still happening on U.S. roads.  Then a lighter moment: Conway is officially blowing up on Netflix, with his voice appearing in Southland (Season 5, Episode 1) — plus a nod to Licorice Pizza and a look at how much climber Alex Honnold was really paid for his death-defying skyscraper ascent.  In WHIP, we revisit the question: how much is a climb like that actually worth? And we pause to remember Kobe Bryant, marking six years since the helicopter crash that claimed his life and eight others.  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.

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.

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.  The hour wraps with a major weather alert as a historic winter storm puts 235 million people in the path of dangerous snow and ice, with the first impacts expected tonight. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
