Hour 2 (10.20) Los Angeles ranks 168th of 182 cities in WalletHub’s new safest-cities list. Plus, Cole’s French Dip is coming back, Porto’s heads to Ontario, and Donnie Wahlberg’s jet skids off a Vegas runway. 

7:05 LeBron James opens his record 24th season in a 76ers jersey, and Philly beats the champion Knicks 106-100 at Madison Square Garden on ring night. Porto’s Bakery announces its first Inland Empire location, near Ontario’s airport, but the opening isn’t expected until 2028. And Cole’s French Dip, the downtown LA landmark dating back to 1908, is set to reopen under new owners with a new menu. The Bukowski restroom plaque stays. 

7:20 Donnie Wahlberg was on a private jet that aborted takeoff at Harry Reid International Airport, skidded off the runway and hit a fence. “The airplane did take some lumps — but we did not,” he says, crediting the pilots. Newport Beach declares a local emergency ahead of the Oct. 26–28 king tides, with the Balboa Peninsula and harbor islands most at risk. 

7:35 The first real storm of the season rolls in Wednesday into Thursday, with showers and a chance of thunderstorms. Plus, the Mega Doppler 7000 started life as the Mega Doppler 2000. And crews are back on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, making permanent repairs from July’s 110-year-old water main break. 

7:50 WalletHub’s 2026 ranking puts Los Angeles 168th of 182 cities for safety. Juneau, Alaska is No. 1, and Irvine is Southern California’s safest city at No. 28.

Hour 1 (10.20) A $3,300 DWP bill for two months, and now Mayor Bass says pay what you can. Plus a pulmonologist on how Jalen Hurts’ calf clot reached his lungs, and who should skip this fall’s COVID shot. 

6:05 Dr. Ray Casciari is a pulmonologist with St. Joseph Hospital in Orange and Interim Vice President of Medical Affairs at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital in Valencia. He explains which age groups he says should skip this fall’s COVID vaccine. Then: the Eagles put Jalen Hurts on injured reserve with a blood clot in his calf that reports say moved to his lungs. Dr. Casciari explains how a leg clot becomes a pulmonary embolism and why it has Hurts out indefinitely. 

6:20 Pope Leo XIV is back at the Vatican after surgery at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital to remove a localized lung cancer from his right lung. Dr. Casciari explains what that surgery and recovery involve. Also, Selena Gomez says vaping nicotine changed her voice for good, and she’s telling fans it isn’t worth it. 

6:35 Dennis Zine, former LAPD officer, former L.A. City Councilmember and board member of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, joins Michael Stafford of the San Fernando Valley United Chamber of Commerce.  

6:50 Mayor Karen Bass tells LADWP customers hit with huge bills after the summer heat to pay what they can for now. She has also asked the DWP board to halt water and power shutoffs through the end of 2026. Some customers say their two-month bills hit $2,700 to $3,300.

Hour 3 (10.20) Twenty-five LA bars bet $60,000 that the Dodgers wouldn’t make the World Series, and nearly doubled their money. Plus thieves hit a FedEx truck loaded with graded Pokémon cards in Santa Ana. 

8:05 Shadow Hills is the semi-rural horse country of the northeast San Fernando Valley, with miles of dirt trails and street crossings built for horses. The city has upgraded several of those crossings with pedestrian hybrid beacons and warning signs to protect riders and their horses. Plus the story of [Angel’s?] horse Sueño, who lived in Shadow Hills. 

8:20 Sueño won at Del Mar in 1977 and paid $50.40, and we play the race call, from “giddyup” to “whoa.” The NFL plays its first regular-season game in France this Sunday, Oct. 25, when the Saints host the Steelers at Stade de France. Owners have approved up to 10 international games starting in 2027, and Asia could follow later. And thieves took two pallets of PSA-graded Pokémon and sports cards from a FedEx truck in Santa Ana. 

8:35 Jack Fox of  explains why fish farming is illegal in Alaska. He walks through how the state’s private nonprofit hatcheries raise salmon from eggs, release them as juveniles, and let them grow up wild in the ocean before they come home. 

8:50 U.S. wine sales fell below 300 million cases for the first time in 20 years, and California wineries are feeling it. And 25 LA bars, many near Dodger Stadium, used a $60,000 Kalshi trade to hedge against the Dodgers missing the World Series. The Brewers knocked LA out in the NLCS, and the bars nearly doubled their money.

LA Bars Bet $60,000 Against the Dodgers

Hour 4 (10.20) Mayor Karen Bass tells John Kobylt that most of LA’s $1.3 billion homelessness budget isn’t city money, then spars with him over 110-year-old water pipes two weeks before her runoff. 

9:05 Bass says the “smallest amount” of the city’s roughly $1.3 billion homelessness budget comes from the general fund, and federal and state money makes up the majority. She contrasts that with [the $800 million item], which she says is “100% from the general fund.” 

9:20 Bass answers for the January 7, 2025 fires: the Palisades fire, the city’s response and where rebuilding stands. 

9:35 With the Nov. 3 runoff against Councilmember Nithya Raman close, Kobylt presses Bass on the issues voters will weigh in her bid for a second term. 

9:50 Bass says the city now has its first comprehensive plan to fix the infrastructure under its streets, after years of “hit and miss” repairs. Kobylt mentions the water main that broke in front of his house last week. Bass points to the city’s 110-year-old pipes as proof the work wasn’t getting done. They run out of time mid-argument. “I like doing combat with you,” Bass says, and she agrees to come back for part two.
