Star Wars, World Cup Fever & Fire Flare-Ups

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 2 (6.19)  Conway kicks off the hour with the one and only Neil Saavedra in studio — now officially “Flaco” after dropping 27 pounds in two weeks following bariatric sleeve surgery. Neil breaks down the new world of sipping, portion control, and eating dime-sized bites while Conway reacts the only way Conway can.  Then the crew gets into the average weight of men around the world, Neil accidentally absorbing World Cup fever, and Foosh taking “as the crow flies” way too seriously. From crows flying 20 to 30 miles per hour to measuring distance like a “sparrow fart,” the conversation goes full Conway.  Later, the Boyle Heights cold warehouse fire reignites for a third time, while Neil reveals he is building a remote-controlled R2-D2 in his shop. That launches the crew into Star Wars talk, Disney buying Lucasfilm, the massive value of the franchise, C-3PO weight loss goals, Andor confusion, and why Popeyes is actually named after Gene Hackman’s character from The French Connection.  The hour wraps with yet another Boyle Heights warehouse flare-up, because apparently this fire has more comebacks than a Star Wars sequel.   Neil Saavedra, bariatric sleeve surgery, weight loss, World Cup, as the crow flies, Boyle Heights fire, warehouse fire, R2-D2, Star Wars, C-3PO, Disney Lucasfilm, Popeyes, Gene Hackman, Conway Show, funny podcast See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
