The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (7.6)  

Lou Penrose fills in for Tim Conway Jr. and it's an absolute powder keg. Newport Beach's Fourth of July spirals into full-blown chaos — riots, looting, and a TikTok takeover where every wannabe "reporter" is roaming the sand with a microphone in one hand and a White Claw in the other. 403 people arrested. NBPD body-cam audio that's straight-up unhinged. 

Then: the Newport melee deepens. Where did these kids even come from? Word is Nevada and Arizona rolled in to trash the city. Fake IDs, public intox, fireworks busts, and more jaw-dropping police body-cam. "Disheartening" — that's your SAT word of the day, straight outta USC. 

Talkbacks light up the lines. Callers react to the viral flash mob footage: cops on horseback charging the crowd, batons out, illegal fireworks detonating across the beach, fights erupting, people sprinting through the streets, and looting at the local Pavilions. Roman candles and police summons everywhere. 

And to close it out — Mötley Crüe's Tommy Lee learns the hard way that his $250,000 Ferrari has no stereo. Turns out that was Enzo Ferrari's whole philosophy: no radio, so the driver hears nothing but the engine.

Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 2 (7.6) 

Lou Penrose fills in for Tim Conway Jr. and kicks it off with the economy. Microsoft moves to cut 4,800 jobs, joining the wave of AI-driven tech layoffs. Is AI the golden goose — or is it killing the egg? Lou breaks down the "good jobs" myth, the sneaky shift from "Made in USA" to "Assembled in USA," and how decades of trade policy shipped millions of manufacturing jobs overseas. Electronics, textiles, toys — nearly all made abroad now. Can we actually win the race to bring jobs back? 

Then Lou lays out his plan to survive post-AI America. Remember when products came with a lifetime warranty? Now it's three years, if that. Case in point: Mr. Coffee "commercial grade" — they shuttered the U.S. plant, shipped it to China, and now it's junk. 

News hits fast: Team USA's World Cup dreams get crushed 4-1 by Belgium. A brush fire in Castaic shuts down 5 Freeway lanes and triggers an evacuation warning. And in San Diego, over $25,000 in one-dollar bills gets stolen from a Kearny Mesa gentlemen's club — the owner suspects an inside job after the masked burglar used a fired manager's security codes. 

Plus: thieves are hunting beachgoers who stash valuables in their cars, and Domino's crashes the value-meal wars with its "Best Deal Ever" — any size, any toppings, any crust for just $9.99.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 3 (7.6) 

Lou Penrose fills in for Tim Conway Jr. and opens with a feel-good phenomenon blowing up online: Europeans are stunned by American hospitality. Instead of the rudeness they were told to expect, tourists are discovering a warm, welcoming culture — and it's sparking massive debate. A German man literally cried, having been made to believe the U.S. was unsafe and nothing but shootings. Turns out Americans aren't rude at all. Have you ever picked up the tab for a stranger? 

The viral wave rolls on: strangers are covering the bills of international travelers, from an Irish couple to that German guy who now LOVES America. Europeans are gushing over everyday Americana — gas station culture, diners, the works. Meanwhile, Team USA crashes out of the World Cup Round of 16 alongside hosts Mexico and Canada. And Kraft cashes in on the World Cup ranch-dressing craze with a limited-edition "TSA-Compliant Ranch" travel kit. Plus Lou does the French fry math — 46 in a small, 62 in a medium, 100 in a large — and the verdict is clear: always go large. 

Then Lou looks at the stars. Mount Rushmore's 250th anniversary, the USAF Academy Band steals the holiday weekend, and scientists spotlight a new Earth-like planet just 25 light-years away sitting in the "Goldilocks Zone" — not too hot, not too cold, just right for liquid water and maybe life. 

Plus, a food-safety reality check: the 2-hour rule, the bacteria "danger zone," and why that "sell-by" date isn't what you think. And Domino's "Best Deal Ever" — ANY pizza, any toppings, $9.99. Are you getting crazy with your toppings?

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (7.2)  

Buckle up — this episode is packed. We break down the attempted homicide suspect shot by police at Los Robles Regional Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, and how the Ventura County medical complex avoided disaster. Then we head East, where a life-threatening heat dome is trapping 260 million people under triple-digit heat along the I-95 corridor — with NYC possibly hitting 100° for the first time in 14 years, just in time for July 4th. 

We also get into why L.A. traffic is STILL a nightmare (blame an unfinished 1947 freeway master plan), throw out some outrageous Dodgers vs. Padres sports takes, and unpack the disturbing California State Parks scandal — where a former superintendent allegedly hid cameras in USB drives to secretly record 23+ lifeguards undressing at Bolsa Chica State Beach. 

Shocking, infuriating, and impossible to look away from. Hit play. 🎧

Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 2 (7.2)  

Loaded show today. We're joined by former LASD Bomb Squad's Johnny Hanson to break down the massive federal crackdown rocking the NBA — prosecutors have unsealed indictments in an overlapping game-fixing and illegal betting scheme involving active players, former players like Malik Beasley and Ed Davis, an agent, a head coach, and organized crime. The feds are calling it the sports world's version of an insider trading saga. 

Johnny sticks around to talk cheating across ALL sports — from the billions flowing through World Cup soccer betting to how the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL stack up on handle, spreads, and player props. It's a wild look at just how much money is really on the line. 

Then we lighten it up: why Petros Papadakis of 'Petros & Money' makes P sick, the Foosh's birthday, the legendary 'Green Ghost' Steve Garvey cruise story, P's best Vic the Brick impression, and a Kahlúa nightcap with Kathie Lee. We close with Petros on the Dodgers' winning formula and why Dave Roberts keeps this team firing on all cylinders. 🍸⚾
