John Kobylt on the Ballots, Primm Panic & Lakers Flights

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.8)  Conway kicks off the hour with John Kobylt and a wild political story involving ballot harvesting, nonprofits, Skid Row, and a longtime signature gatherer expected to plead guilty to paying homeless people to help get initiatives on the ballot.  Then the crew dives into the latest twists in the L.A. mayor’s race, with Nithya Raman, Spencer Pratt, and Mayor Karen Bass all part of the conversation. Plus, the upcoming 2026 California governor’s race heats up with names like Xavier Becerra and Steve Hilton, and a breakdown of California’s top-two primary system.  Later, Conway takes on L.A.’s massive graffiti problem before heading back to the desert for the latest on Primm Casinos. With Affinity Gaming planning to close the remaining Primm properties on July 4, 2026, the Primm family is reportedly looking for a new gaming or hospitality partner to keep the border-town resorts alive.  The hour wraps with Bellio remembering her time traveling with the Lakers during the legendary Shaq and Kobe era — and somehow the main thing she remembers is being cold on a flight.  Trending Keywords: John Kobylt, ballot harvesting, Skid Row, L.A. mayor race, Nithya Raman, Spencer Pratt, Karen Bass, California governor race, Xavier Becerra, Steve Hilton, L.A. graffiti, Primm Casinos, Affinity Gaming, Lakers, Shaq and Kobe, Bellio, Conway Show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
