Primm Panic, Quakes & $500K Knicks Seats

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (6.8)     Conway kicks off the hour with the latest on Primm casino resorts, as LV Petroleum emerges as a leading potential buyer and operator trying to save the properties before a possible July 4 shutdown. The desert drama continues as the Primm family looks for a new partner to keep the casino town alive.  Then the news turns global and wild: a plane headed to pick up MLB legend Yadier Molina and his family crashes on its way to Texas, a massive 7.8 earthquake strikes the southern Philippines, and a rare 6.1 earthquake rattles off the coast of Cuba.  The crew jumps into NBA Finals fever with Knicks vs. Spurs, Game 3, and the insane ticket prices surrounding New York’s run — from thousands just to get in the building to courtside seats going for hundreds of thousands.  Later, Conway gets into new weight-loss drugs, changing body sizes, and how GLP-1s are creating chaos for retail returns as people keep swapping clothes while trying to find their new size. Plus, Bellio’s yacht wedding, Conway trying to escape a cruise, strange things spotted on walks, and one beard that was apparently a total turnoff.  The hour wraps with the sad wave of Southern California restaurant closures, including memories of Gulliver’s in Newport Beach, as rising food costs, labor costs, regulations, and changing spending habits put pressure on longtime local favorites.  Primm casinos, LV Petroleum, Yadier Molina, Philippines earthquake, Cuba earthquake, Knicks vs Spurs, NBA Finals, Knicks tickets, weight loss drugs, GLP-1, Ozempic, retail returns, yacht wedding, restaurant closures, Gulliver’s Newport Beach, Southern California, Conway Show See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
