   Number 1: Homeless Camping Ban Lifted in Echo Park

   Hour 1 (8.21) The City Council voted 10-3 to lift camping bans at a dozen sites in Echo Park, Silver Lake and Hollywood. Conway went to City Hall and then to the encampments to find out what actually changed. 6:05 PM — Extreme heat warning through Saturday, with the Valley running near 109. We say goodbye to one of our best I.T. guys, Dave Shuttera. Then the camping ban: Councilman Hugo Soto-Martínez got 12 anti-camping zones in his district rescinded — the first time the city has ever pulled a 41.18 designation back. Conway went looking for the real reason, and it isn't the one on the council floor. 6:20 PM — Somebody backed a car up to Paramount City Hall at 2:15 in the morning and walked off with the kneeling soldier and the bronze rifle from the Armed Forces Memorial. LASD Major Crimes puts the pair at about $100,000. The same memorial got sawed up in May of last year. Los Angeles is now the wire-and-metal theft capital of the country, and this is what that looks like when it comes to a war memorial. 6:35 PM — We love our listeners, but some of them listen too closely. A green object landed on the floor at Crypto.com Arena during the third quarter of Atlanta's 124-88 win over the Sparks. Angel Reese spotted the guy from the bench, pointed him out, and security had him before he got to the exit. He was wearing a Lakers jersey. 6:50 PM — NOAA's Climate Prediction Center now puts a very strong El Niño above 90% for this fall and winter and gives October through December a 69% chance of an event bigger than anything on the books since 1950. Daniel Swain and the European model have California at 70-100% odds of a top 20% wettest winter. Get the sandbags now, not in December. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

   Number 3: Esposa Means Wife. Esposas Means Handcuffs

   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.

   Number 4: How Often Should You Wash Your Sheets?

   Hour 1 (8.27) Dermatologists say weekly. The average American changes their sheets every 24 days. Tim's number came up on the air, and the conversation did not stay on sheets for long. Chargers vs. Rams coverage preempted the live show, so this is a Best Of. 6:05— Tim on the little things: the small stuff that carries more joy than the big stuff, and why most people blow right past it. 6:20- The retro restaurant craze. Nearly half of U.S. adults say they're likelier to buy something that makes them feel nostalgic, and chains have noticed. Starbucks brought back the Unicorn Frappuccino to record North American sales, Burger King's crown-shaped nuggets returned after 15 years gone, and McDonald's revived the fried apple pie it phased out in the '90s. The nostalgia cycle used to run 20 to 30 years. It's now about 10. 6:35 — Which sports lean left and which lean right. A Harris/Sportico poll of 4,116 adults found college football the most partisan fanbase in the country at 58% conservative, the PGA Tour at 56%, and the WNBA a dead-even 50-50 split. Perception and reality don't match: 63% of Americans assumed women's college basketball skewed liberal, while 55% of its actual fans identified as conservative. 6:50- The protocol for washing sheets, what dermatologists actually recommend, and how that turned into a full audit of Tim's personal hygiene.

   Number 5: Why L.A. Restaurants Keep Closing in 2026

   Hour 2 (8.21) Neil Saavedra, the Fork Reporter, is in. Handel's birthday costume party is on the calendar, and Saavedra is coming as a Zelmin's capsule — the death of bad breath, walking around a party. 7:20 PM — Thursday's thrower wore a white No. 77 Lakers jersey and made it up the steps of Section 111 before security caught him, and he made it worse by shoving a guard on the way. He was arrested, and Front Office Sports reports an indefinite ban from all WNBA, NBA and league-affiliated events. Angel Reese called out the jersey number from the bench, which is how they found him. 7:35 PM — Saturdays have gotten too busy and everybody needs a day off. Some honest talk about panic attacks and what helps. Then a Kobe work-ethic story, and a word about Margo Dydek — 7-foot-2, first overall pick in 1998, all-time WNBA blocks leader, and a Los Angeles Spark before she was done. She was 37 when she died in 2011. 7:50 PM — Saavedra on why the closings keep coming. Cole's, open since 1908. Connie & Ted's. Nearly 19,000 restaurant jobs gone in L.A. in six years. The more useful question is the other one: what are the ones still standing doing right? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
