Hour 2 - Lou Penrose pays tribute to the final Led Zeppelin record, In Through the Out Door, released 47 years ago this weekend. From John Bonham's legendary drumming to the band's new musical direction, there is plenty to unpack. And, a viral trend has people "tanmaxxing," but doctors are warning against it.

Memorializing In Through the Out Door, Led Zeppelin's Final Record

After one of the hottest weeks on record in Southern California, the heat finally feels like it’s breaking — but not before it made everyone a little nuts in that unseasonably humid high-90s-to-triple-digit stretch Californians just can’t handle. Uncle Luigi runs through who had it worst out there: Caltrans crews paving roads, Marines training at Camp Pendleton, AC installers, and roofers baking on the job. Listeners pile on with their own votes — postal workers, roofers, even redheads — plus a wave of cracked windshields blamed on thermal shock when cold water hits glass that’s been cooked by the heat. And in a cooler blast from the past: this week in 1967, the “Spider-Man” cartoon debuted, introducing a different kind of hero — not born super, just a high-school kid who got bit by a spider. 

After one of the hottest weeks on record in Southern California, the heat finally feels like it&rsquo;s breaking &mdash; but not before it made everyone a little nuts in that unseasonably humid high-90s-to-triple-digit stretch Californians just can&rsquo;t handle. Uncle Luigi runs through who had it worst out there: Caltrans crews paving roads, Marines training at Camp Pendleton, AC installers, and roofers baking on the job.

The Heat is On — And Fact is It’s Making Us Schizo in SoCal

The brutal heat still hanging over Southern California: The back of a UPS truck can hit 140 degrees, AC techs are slamming jobs, one caller admits he garden-naked’d his way through the heatwave, and Valley parents say classrooms are too hot for their sticky, gross kids. Down in OC, a high-school football team treasurer allegedly stole $400,000 — used it to pay off a delinquent mortgage — and is now looking at serious prison time. Lou also debates whether kids should stay in school during a heatwave so campuses keep their funding, or get sent home.  

Then it’s fish tales: The largest bluefin tuna ever caught off California this week, a 500-pounder, plus Lou’s take that Japan overfished them nearly to extinction before fishermen and fish “worked it out.”  

Good news for salad eaters: The lettuce recall is officially over, so Taco Bell is back on the menu without the cyclosporiasis scare — a tummy bug Lou notes sounds a lot like being on GLP-1s.  

Forty-four years ago this weekend, Pete Townshend tried to reboot The Who with “It’s Hard,” and it sparked a big fight with Roger Daltrey. The hour wraps with Chargers talk — Lou’s following the team all season, mural and all — and a kitchen ant invasion so bad he’s wondering if white vinegar is the answer.

Hour 1 - Nearly 5,000 sailors and Marines on board the USS Abraham Lincoln had a 5-day party in Thailand. Cocktails to-go could be extended in CA. And Guns N' Roses rocked the Rose Bowl this weekend. Eileen Gonzales was there and gives Penrose her glowing review of the concert.
