Hour 2 (9.16) OC DA Todd Spitzer calls in after the county’s e-bike buyback yanked about a thousand bikes off the road — parents swapping the kids’ death traps for gift cards so nobody else cracks a skull. Then a Valley win: Leslie David Baker, Stanley from “The Office,” is now co-owner of Honey Baked Ham on Ventura. Atta boy. Conway’s mall-rat mode is on with his daughter, who’s almost 21 — clothes for her, a cheeky bet at the track for him, just don’t tell the wife — plus Michael Gates is running for California AG and holding a $3-gas stop Saturday 10 a.m.–noon at 17453 Central Ave in Carson. The Dodgers’ magic number is 1, California’s changing license-plate sequences because the state ran out of combos (Tim doesn’t care; his daughter does), and he wonders if inmates still stamp the plates. Burbank Airport’s new terminal opens October 13 — Timmy’s birthday — so naturally it should be Conway Airport. After a brutal week in the Valley, Universal debuts the Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift, billed as the fastest coaster at any Universal park. The crew can’t wait; Toluca Lake neighbors are putting up a sound wall. Wear the belt. Timmy still loves the wooden one at Knott’s. 7:05 — The E-bike buyback down in Orange County has been very successful, with around 1,000 of those bikes taken off the road. OC District Attorney Todd Spitzer is on the phone to talk about the success of the program, where parents traded their kids' bikes for gift cards to ensure they don't crack their skulls or break any bones on the road. 7:20 — Did you know? Leslie David Baker, who played Stanley on "The Office," is now the co-owner of Honey Baked Ham on Ventura Blvd! Atta boy! In other news, Conway really enjoys going to the mall with his daughter, who'll be turning 21 in a few weeks. Atta girl! Tim buys her clothes while he also heads to the track for a cheeky bet, because he's really into multitasking — just don't tell his wife. Also, Michael Gates is running for AG of California, and next Saturday 10am–12pm, he'll be at 17453 Central Ave in Carson, where there'll be $3 gas! 7:35 — The Dodgers' magic number is 1. If they win one game in the next couple of weeks, they will have clinched their division. License plate sequences are changing in California. It's because there are so many cars on the road that the state has run out of numbers and has to change variations: three numbers, three letters, then one number. Timmy doesn't really care, but his daughter sure does. And that's why we're talking about it now. Timmy wonders if prisoners still make license plates. Burbank Airport's new terminal is opening for business on October 13. And Timmy is its No. 1 fan. Should it be renamed "The Conway Airport"? It is opening on his birthday, after all! 7:50 — After a rough week in the Valley and Greater Los Angeles, now for a little relief: Universal Studios has debuted its Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift roller coaster, said to be the fastest roller coaster at any Universal park in the world. The crew cannot wait to ride this thing, and the only people who hate it are the neighbors who live in Toluca Lake, who are erecting a sound barrier. Kids: Remember to use your seatbelts, so your brain doesn't scramble! Timmy loves the wooden one at Knotts Berry Farm. #ebikebuyback #orangecounty #ToddSpitzer #LeslieDavidBaker #TheOffice #Stanleytheoffice #HoneyBakedHam #MichaelGates #CaliforniaAG #Carson #Dodgers #Californialicenseplates #BurbankAirport #TheConwayAirport #TheValley #LosAngeles #UniversalStudios #Fast&FuriousHollywoodDrift #rollercoaster #TolucaLake See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
