KFI AM 640.

You're listening to the John and Ken Show on demand on the Iheart Radio app.

Doug McIntyre in for John and Ken.

We're here till 4 when Timmy comes along.

We hope you have a great 4th of July if you're heading out of town

and hopefully you won't have too much trouble on the roads or in the air or however

you go, wagon train, whatever you're doing. And we got a busy hour for you here. In fact,

Tim will join us in a bit. We're going to give you a chance to win some money. John Lewin's going

to join us. LA Deputy District Attorney is going to talk about that mysterious case of the people

who broke into

mayor at the time candidate, but Mayor Karen Bass's house and stole two guns. And they go to the

who's gow and he's going to talk to us about why that's happening. And of course, Narkhan has become

a staple of American life, which is tragic. And yet it's a lifesaver. So I suppose it's a good thing.

But how did we get to the point where it's going to be sold commercially in stores and stored as

in part of school supplies like Band-Aids? And, you know, that's where we're at right now with

this terrible opioid addiction.

And the misses, Penny Paiser will join us in just a bit to talk about the late great Alan Arkin.

She played Alan Arkin's daughter and the in-laws, one of the classic AFI, 50 greatest comedies ever made, wonderful actress.

So we'll get it all that.

But I wanted to talk about something. A couple of weeks ago, I drove to Van Nuys Sherman Oaks Park. I mentioned early in the show I play old man softball. So we had a pickup game. I left the house at 8 in the morning, which should have been plenty of time to reach my destination. Unfortunately, the 101 was extra grouchy. So Way sent me meandering through a labyrinth of surface streets,

including a long jog north to Sherman Way before heading south on Van Nuys Boulevard.

Now, Van Nuys Boulevard at one point in our distant past was sort of like the postcard of life in the San Fernando Valley of Southern California.
