The Air Up There is Toxic, Baby

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 2 (6.29) California’s massive $351 billion state budget just dropped, dwarfing Texas at $219 billion — but Timmy and Marky say it sure doesn’t feel like five-star treatment for the Golden State. Remember that scary chemical disaster in Garden Grove back in May that forced 50,000 Orange County residents to evacuate? The toxic cleanup is finally kicking off, with the waste heading all the way to Ohio.   Timmy got a little nostalgic and reminisced about his Alaska cruise with his mom at age 15. On the lighter side, he caught someone who shall remain nameless swiping snacks from the KFI drawer and stuffing them in a backpack — how rude! — before sharing his own class-act moment at Home Depot, where he tried to tip a super helpful employee $40 even though he knew the guy couldn’t accept it. Mark one-upped him with a Vegas waitress story, slipping her a crisp hundred after she remembered his name from a previous visit.   Later, event producer Stacey Newton joins the show to talk about the 122nd Annual Huntington Beach Independence Day Parade this weekend — she’s been running it for 26 years! Expect Aaron Kaufman from Gas Monkey Garage, an Olympic gold medalist, surfing legend Pete Townend, and plenty of cops on the route. And Timmy, the ultimate Dodgers fan, shares the perfect commercial idea for the team plus some timeless advice he got from Arsenio Hall: when you’re pitching in Hollywood, they’re not just buying the idea — they’re buying you. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
