Hour 1 (8.31) Mark Thompson is back behind the mic after fainting from dehydration and breaking his ankle — and he's got opinions. First up: the customer service collapse nobody can explain. Businesses are fighting for every dollar, yet consumers are getting phone trees, useless AI chatbots, and burned-out frontline staff. You'd think companies would be rolling out the red carpet. Instead they're doing the opposite. Mark digs into why the system actually works this way. Then: Aaron Donald is coming back. The future Hall of Famer ends a two-and-a-half-year retirement and returns to the Rams on a one-year deal worth up to $30 million. Plus the latest on the Times Square stabbing, a look at how the neighborhood got its name back in 1904, and the question that's going to blow up the phone lines — Mark's stuck in a boot for eight weeks and can't drive. So: is your spouse actually a good driver? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 2 (8.31) Mark's still in the boot, which means Bellio's on wheelchair duty — and their first stop is a men's room that can only be described as a hazard zone. It goes exactly how you'd think. Then: Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are about to be teammates at the Women's World Cup while the WNBA takes a high-stakes break. Two of the biggest rivals in sports, same locker room. Good luck to everybody involved. Mark went to weather school, and it raises the real question — do weather guys actually hang out? Chuck Street on traffic, Dallas Raines on weather, and an entire industry built on making you excited about clouds. Tropical rain is headed our way for Labor Day, and Mark reminds everyone he was never, not once, wrong about the forecast. Conway's daughter is turning 21 and the family is going to Vegas. Pray for him. Plus: Olivia Rodrigo's new Daisy Chain Fields festival packed 45,000 people into Irvine's Great Park and got rave reviews for what happened on stage. Getting out was a different story — fans say they were stuck in parking lots, walking miles looking for rides, and directing traffic themselves. Rodrigo says she picked the name because a daisy chain is about small pieces linking into something unbreakable. The parking situation did not link. And finally — the worst potholes in Los Angeles. The guys have found them, and they're in Westwood. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 3 (8.31) Lionel Richie checked himself into a St. Louis hospital over the weekend after finishing his Saturday show sitting down — he asked for a chair partway through "All Night Long." Reports say he's in the ICU getting tested, with dehydration a possible culprit. Sound familiar? That's the exact same thing that put Mark on the ground. Word is Richie's doing fine. Which brings up the other concert problem: the person next to you who sings every single word. You paid to hear the artist. Not them. Then the guys get into iHeart festivals, the George Strait show Mark went to, and the surprisingly rich world of Dollar Tree dinners — plus everything else worth grabbing at a dollar store. At 8:35, the hard-hitting journalism: is Conway a nepo baby? Did he use his father's name to pick up women? And who was his first crush? He's going to answer. Probably. Finally, FOX 11 goes inside Santa Ana's homelessness crackdown — the city says it's outreach, critics say it's enforcement. Help or handcuffs? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 4 (8.31) Mark Thompson is back on the air after fainting from dehydration and breaking his ankle — and he's got a bone to pick with the entire American service economy. Here's the paradox: businesses are scrapping every dollar they can get, and customer service has never been worse. You'd think they'd roll out the red carpet. Instead, you get phone trees that go nowhere, AI chatbots that can't help, and frontline staff running on fumes. Mark gets into why the system is actually built to work this way. Then the personal fallout — eight weeks in a boot on his right foot means Mark can't drive. Which raises the question that's going to light up the lines: is your spouse a good driver? Be honest. He's a Race X driver, apparently. It's a maneuver. Plus, Mark went to weather school, and it opens up the big one — do weather guys hang out with each other? Chuck Street on traffic, Dallas Raines on weather, animated cartoon weathermen, and an entire industry devoted to making you excited about clouds. Tropical rain's headed in for Labor Day. And for the record, Mark was never wrong. Not once. Finally: Olivia Rodrigo's Daisy Chain Fields festival packed 45,000 people into Irvine's Great Park and got rave reviews for the show. Getting out was a different story — fans say they were stranded in parking lots, walking miles looking for a ride, and eventually directing traffic themselves. Rodrigo picked the name because a daisy chain is about individual pieces linking into something strong and unbreakable. The exit route did not link.

Hour 2 (8.28) Neil Saavedra spent a good chunk of this hour convinced Conway was talking about Bill Handel. Conway was talking about a bald eagle. It got worse from there. 7:05 — The Fork Reporter walks in mid-conversation, hears "Shadow," and assumes Handel. Then a Spanish lesson: esposa is wife, esposas is handcuffs, and Saavedra insists that's a coincidence. Plus a look ahead at Daisy Chain Fields — 45,000 people at Great Park Saturday with highs near 93. 7:20 — The drive-thru, fully diagnosed. Why the menu board breaks otherwise functional adults, what the eleven cars behind you are experiencing, and the specific person who begins reading the menu at the window. Related: nobody reads the instructions on anything anymore, drones included. 7:35 — Crazy Taxi, GTA, Forza, and the era when KFI had video games in the building. Then Handel's birthday party, where Saavedra turned up as Bane from The Dark Knight Rises. Somehow this becomes religion, stereotypes, and The Da Vinci Code. 7:50 — Conway on the pleasures of retail, specifically the frozen aisle. Saavedra's position: the freezer game has leveled up considerably and people haven't noticed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
