Neighborhood of Los Angeles in California, United States
POPULARITY
At first we thought it was just another fire here in Flameytown, but after burning for over a week the real horror has just begun. The massive inferno at a refrigerated warehouse in LA's Boyle Heights is now extinguished… and all that remains is some sixty-five MILLION pounds of rotting meat, a small ocean of runoff water and temperatures climbing into the nineties. Already the surrounding area stinks of death and things are likely to get much, much worse
STREAMING MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, FEATURIN JEFF BLISS ND MICHAEL VLAHO, 6--26-26.LA FIESTAThis broadcast segment features a wide-ranging dialogue between John Bachelor and Jeff Bliss regarding current domestic and international crises. The discussion begins with the economic decline of Las Vegas, noting a significant drop in international tourism attributed to strained US-Canadian relations and rising local costs. Turning to Los Angeles, the speakers address a toxic industrial fire in Boyle Heights that exacerbated the city's homelessness and public health struggles. Political analysis follows, focusing on California Governor Gavin Newsom's potential presidential ambitions and the ethical scrutiny surrounding his family's financial interests. Finally, a guest contributor named Germanicus provides a geopolitical critique of the American Empire, arguing that the United States is struggling to adapt to a shifting global balance of power in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Sam, Dylan, and Dark Smith are back to break down: Dark Smith's job interview to become an escort and the loofah-color swinger code of Florida's villages, the Boyle Heights fire spilling Freon and ammonia while firefighters spray a blaze they can't reach (and the owner being a Karen Bass donor), a documentary trying to abolish the Electoral College, the deep origins of the Vatican built on top of Vatican Hill, the pagan goddess Cybele and the Anatolian mother god Magna Mater brought to Rome via the prophetic Sibylline Books after Hannibal's slaughter at Cannae, the blood-baptism bull-sacrifice rituals later dug up by archaeologists, H.P. Lovecraft's "The Rats in the Walls" and its cannibal cult, the serpent-shaped Vatican auditorium and the Pope's fish-head mitre tied to the Babylonian fish god Dagon (who turns out to be Godzilla), Sam's pitch for roller derby as the next great pro sport, the Iran war being "over" again with IAEA inspectors as the "milestone" achieved by undoing the milestone, Israel allegedly trying to assassinate the negotiators before Trump called them off, Nicki Minaj's distraction-death theory, JD Vance's Thiel-engineered glow-up, the Albanians tearing their country apart over Jared and Ivanka's island and Sam's theory it's about controlling the Strait of Otranto, the nu-metal psyop, military stock buybacks instead of R&D, Bezos prioritizing AI water over "baseline human comfort," and a woman who lost ten years of memory from straining too hard on the toilet.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 2 (6.25) This hour goes from hope to havoc. We kick off with a real breast cancer breakthrough — the FDA just greenlit Trodelvy as a first-line treatment for the hardest-to-treat triple-negative breast cancer, the first ADC approved across PD-L1 status, and it's already proving more durable than chemo. Then sports get ugly: the WNBA suspended Phoenix's Alyssa Thomas and slapped her with a flagrant 2 for driving her fist into Caitlin Clark's throat — a hit refs somehow missed live. Next, the House Whisperer himself, Dean Sharp, breaks down home electrical do's and don'ts (electricity isn't magic, it's water in a pipe) and the man-stuff guide to buying power tools. And we close on the stench story gripping LA: 85 million pounds of spoiled meat, seafood, and bread rotting inside a burned-out Boyle Heights warehouse, as crews race to haul it out before it becomes a full-blown biohazard. Breakthroughs, cheap shots, and a biohazard.

We kick things off with Sir Spleenington, the distinguished British predecessor to Spencer's lovably grating alter ego "The Spleen", hiding from Flock cameras and ankle monitors while Spencer attempts to explain that this podcast is technically an American reboot of a British podcast. Kevin actually laughs audibly, which may be a first in recorded history. From there, we cover the very real and very poisonous warehouse fire burning in Boyle Heights, LA, where Spencer went out handing N95 masks to street vendors who promptly did not put them on. We also get into the World Cup bringing tourists to America who are discovering chips and salsa, bottomless refills, and tailgating for the first time, leading to what is probably an AI-generated viral tweet about a Japanese man being spiritually defeated by a basket of tortilla chips at a Mexican restaurant. Then things get truly personal. Spencer recounts a weekend of cascading indignities: a terrible fake-Caesar wrap from Doghaus, a multi-hour Chipotle customer service odyssey involving AI phone bots, a rude supervisor, a robot that hung up on him, and a very long drive to find no crispy chicken. A Magic: The Gathering card he wanted wasn't even in the deck it was supposed to be in. He survived all of this, and his emotional recovery time is getting shorter, which we declare as growth. We close out with Spencer pitching a structured belief system built around summoning a personal "familiar", essentially harnessing the placebo effect and humanity's religious tendencies into something useful and non-cult-shaped. Kevin says he'd join immediately. Spencer considers writing a self-help book. The Spleen is somewhere hiding from cameras. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.24) Timmy and the crew reacts to two massive earthquakes near Caracas, Venezuela, in the volatile Ring of Fire, with fears of thousands dead, buildings turned to rubble, and a tsunami warning in effect. This comes right after a solid shaker in Northern California this morning and the ongoing worry that LA could face major water shortages because of the huge Boyle Heights warehouse fire. The good news? That Boyle Heights blaze is finally out after burning for a week — Timmy proudly claims he helped apply the right kind of pressure on the firefighters. The bad news? Millions of pounds of rotting frozen food in the rubble are about to attract flies, mosquitoes, and vermin. California’s earthquake expert warns there could be up to 100,000 dead in Venezuela, and Japan got hit with a 6.9 quake today too. Timmy’s PSA? Stock up on water, people — the tectonic plates are moving and this shiz is getting scary. Classic Conway. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 3 (6.24) Illegal fireworks crackdown season is underway ahead of July 4, with authorities seizing tens of thousands of pounds — but Timmy’s betting the City of Angels will still be lit up with bangers, crackers, and flashers anyway. The FIFA World Cup final is coming July 19 on the East Coast, so we’ve still got almost a full month of this global party — get out there and talk to some foreigners! Back in Boyle Heights, the massive warehouse fire is finally out, but now the real nightmare begins: millions of pounds of rotting food attracting flies, bugs, mosquitoes, and rats the size of small dogs. On a brighter note, Disney fans rejoice — Walt Disney’s original Grumman Gulfstream I plane, Mickey Mouse One, has been beautifully restored after decades and is now on display at the Palm Springs Air Museum. And finally, someone hilariously trolled Liberty Medical’s customer service line by stitching together Wilford Brimley’s iconic diabetes commercial voice — Atta boy, Brimley! Classic Conway mix of fireworks, soccer, Disney nostalgia, and random laughs. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.23) The Boyle Heights warehouse INFERNO is out of control — 60 MILLION gallons of water and STILL burning. Tim Conway Jr. breaks down the Lineage cold-storage disaster that's blanketed LA in hazardous smoke for SEVEN straight days. World-class pulmonologist Dr. Ray Casciari (St. Joseph, Orange) reveals the SHOCKING truth about what you're breathing right now — and why N95 and P100 masks aren't optional anymore. Ammonia leaks, fine-particle warnings, shelter-in-place orders… is YOUR neighborhood next? PLUS: Gov. Newsom declares a STATE OF EMERGENCY. Mayor Karen Bass scrambles for resources. The solar-contractor blunder that may have sparked it all. And the "Deluge 105" mega-cannon firing 2,000 gallons a minute at the blaze that WON'T DIE.
The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 3 (6.23) Tim Conway Jr. opens with the latest on the Boyle Heights fire, then turns to the World Cup — where Team Norway reportedly brought in 600 pounds of fish. Olivia Rodrigo announces an all-women lineup for her Daisy Chain Fields festival in Irvine (and yes, Conway's high school graduation photo somehow ended up on one of her albums). The show pays tribute to legendary music mogul Clive Davis, who died peacefully at his Manhattan home Monday of age-related illness at 94. Known as the "Man with the Golden Ears," Davis launched or revived the careers of superstars including Janis Joplin, Whitney Houston, Carlos Santana and Alicia Keys. The best way to celebrate with him? Press plays on the artists he made famous. Plus: France records 40 drownings in five days as an extreme heatwave grips the country. Teens caught dangerously dangling out of a self-driving Waymo car in Santa Monica — and passengers stuck inside one through a construction zone with police following. A second tiny home village brings 50 units to Van Nuys for the homeless (cue the Van Nuys song). And our friend, the amazing singer Juno Wilson, stops by — come fly with me.
The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 4 (6.23) World-class pulmonologist Dr. Ray Casciari of St. Joseph in Orange joins Tim Conway Jr. as health concerns intensify over the Boyle Heights fire, now blanketing several cities in smoke for seven straight days. The blaze ignited Wednesday from what authorities say was a solar system atop the Lineage cold-storage facility — and it's now believed to have started during testing by solar contractors. Air quality concerns linger across LA, but the EPA and South Coast Air Quality Management District say they've found nothing beyond normal post-fire combustible material. Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency for LA County, hours after Mayor Karen Bass issued a local emergency declaration. (And yes — TV dinners really did mean TV.) Plus: the World Cup offside rule, finally made simple — why "cherry-picking" is illegal and what it takes to follow your team around the globe. A snake-in-the-toilet warning you won't forget. And NBA Draft history: the Washington Wizards take BYU's AJ Dybantsa No. 1 overall — a program first — ahead of Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, and Caleb Wilson in one of the deepest classes in years. Stick around for the Taco Bell love story: an 81-year-old couple renews their vows at the drive-thru and lands free lunch for life.
HOUR 3 (06/24) – Gary & Shannon cover the latest developments from the Boyle Heights warehouse fire, the start of the Palisades Fire jury trial, a 5.6 earthquake in Northern California, and FIFA's decision to mandate hydration breaks for players.In #SwampWatch, they discuss the growing influence of Democratic Socialists following major wins in New York City, President Trump's push to pass the SAVE Act, conflicting claims over Iran's willingness to allow nuclear inspections, and whether today's AI chatbots are politically biased or simply telling users what they want to hear.Plus, comedian and parenting expert Justin Worsham joins the show to explain why youth sports may be one of the best investments parents can make and tackles the surprisingly divisive question of whether parents should be allowed to enjoy a drink, or even a joint, while watching their kids play.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 2 (6.22) Tim wonders what could be worse than spending Father’s Day at Dodger Stadium with your kids — so you can’t even have a beer. He reminisces about making his dad lumpy clay mugs for breakfast in bed back in the day, just like he and Marky T did for their olds. The crew questions why there are air purifiers at TV news conferences but not in Boyle Heights homes affected by the fire. Gavin Newsom is forcing state workers back to the office starting July 1 after six years of remote work, and they’re pushing back hard. Tim’s already dreaming about his upcoming TravelStore.com Alaska cruise and hoping for connecting doors between his cabin mates, while pondering if third-class Titanic passengers were locked in their rooms. Tim and Mark both agree they wouldn’t have survived the sinking — and neither do we. The hour wraps with Tim replaying James Cameron’s gloriously over-the-top Oscar speech for “Titanic,” with Mark delivering the perfect roast. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.22) The giant warehouse fire in Boyle Heights keeps raging for days, fueled in part by the solar panels on the roof. The crew debates who Boyle Heights is actually named after and whether it’s “Jamie” or “Haime” Moore. Tim wonders where Mayor Karen Bass was during all this — apparently at the Obama Library opening in Chicago — while the Conway family still powered through their Father’s Day garage sale under smoky skies. Mark Thompson reveals he had hand surgery with the same doctor who fixed up Steven Tyler and the guy from Men at Work. The conversation turns to who’s paying for the massive damage (solar company? Insurers? Us taxpayers?) and the jaw-dropping stat from a firefighter friend that crews have used between 13 and 18 million gallons of water so far while 85 million pounds of frozen food spoils. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
HOUR 3 (06/23) – Gary & Shannon cover the latest on the Boyle Heights fire, a deadly heat wave across parts of the U.S. and Europe, a seemingly random Columbine-inspired shooting in Chico, and why Dodgers star Kyle Tucker's trip to the injured list for a mental reset isn't exactly cause for panic in Los Angeles.In #SWAMPWATCH, Iran and the White House appear to be telling completely different stories about nuclear inspections, Gary & Shannon size up the political futures of JD Vance and Marco Rubio, and Senator Rand Paul pushes to force Dr. Anthony Fauci to testify about the origins of COVID-19.Then, on True Crime Tuesday, they explore why the Nancy Guthrie case is suddenly resurfacing and break down the rise of so-called "wrench attacks" and how an old-school kidnapping-for-ransom crime may have simply gotten a new crypto-era name.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Fun Day Monday On today's program: California has declared a state of emergency over the warehouse fire in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. The fire has been raging for five days now, releasing a black cloud of toxic smoke and destroying 85 million pounds of frozen food. Lineage Logistics, the company responsible for this disaster, has 55 workplace safety violations, 77 regulatory infractions and over $5M in unpaid penalties. Mouin Rabbani, Middle East analyst, co-editor of Jadaliyya and non-resident fellow with the Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies, joins the show to discuss what Trump's loss in Iran means for the Middle East. For more from Mouin consider subscribing to his eponymously titles Substack. Astead Herndon, Editorial director at Vox and host of the podcast America, actually, joins the program for a conversation about the tomorrow's primaries in New York and their implications nationally. In the Fun Half: Political strategist Morris Katz speaks on MS NOW about the importance of progressive Democrats keeping their campaign promises otherwise it undercuts the credibility and makes it harder for other progressives to win elections. Katz uses the example of Antonio Reynoso claiming he wouldn't accept real estate money and then turns around and accepts donations from big real estate. On a hostile roundtable, Faiz Shakir defends the progressive wing of the democrat party for offering material solutions to the scarcity crisis. Lindsey Graham is eating crow after lobbying for an attack on Iran for decades only to get his wish and have the U.S. lose. Now Graham is desperately trying to figure out how to stay in Trump's inner circle whilst pushing to continue the combat. Patrick Bet-David claims he was approached by major money guys to gauge his interest in being installed as a leader of Iran. Bill Maher is offended that Zohran Mamdani has not accepted an invitation to Real Time. All that and more.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 3 (6.19) Conway kicks off the hour with the latest from Boyle Heights, where LAFD officials and Mayor Karen Bass held a press conference after the massive cold-storage warehouse fire reignited for a third time in just days. Officials warn residents to stay inside, keep pets indoors, wear masks if they have to go out, and use available shelter options if they want to leave the area. Former L.A. County Fire Captain Steve Kreeger joins the show to break down why this fire is so complicated. From solar panels on the roof and possible lithium-ion battery issues to petroleum products, black smoke, ammonia refrigeration systems, and frozen food inside the warehouse, this is not a normal industrial fire. The crew also explains why the Lineage Logistics warehouse is such a major part of the food supply chain, with refrigerated storage, blast freezing, and port-centered cold-chain logistics. But after days of fire, smoke advisories, and shelter-in-place orders, all that food is likely destroyed. Later, Conway gets into outrageous World Cup ticket prices, with quarterfinal seats starting around $3,700 and final tickets in New York reportedly hitting $10,000. The hour wraps with the news that legendary comedy director James Burrows, the mind behind classics like Cheers and Friends, has died at 85.

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.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.19) Conway kicks off the hour in full World Cup USA mode as the U.S. beats Australia 2-0 and heads to the knockout round. USA! USA! But the celebration gets interrupted by John Kobylt’s Boyle Heights warehouse fire, which reignites after the wind shifts and causes another flare-up. Then the crew heads to Washington, D.C., where World Cup fans packed the National Mall for a massive watch party. Conway also takes on the controversial Nike USA home kit, with fans saying the wavy red and white stripes look more like vintage prison jumpsuits or chain gang uniforms than a World Cup jersey. Later, the hour turns serious with the latest on an armed and dangerous CHP pursuit suspect tied to a double homicide in Pomona. The hour wraps with Conway trying to become a real FIFA fan and buy tickets on SeatGeek — only to have the site think he’s a robot. And the prices are wild: the cheapest ticket to USA vs. Turkey is around $2,100 for the worst seat, while prime seats in section C108, Row 22 are going for $5,550 to $8,000. Soccer fever is here, and so is sticker shock.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 3 (6.18) Conway kicks off the hour with a World Cup spoiler alert and a lesson in how to pronounce Czechia. Then the crew gives major love to Scottish soccer fans, who may be the best fans on Earth after drinking Boston dry, setting a noise record at Gillette Stadium, and somehow partying in a clean, organized way. From drinking kilts to business kilts, the Scots brought the energy. The crew also shouts out the legendary reputation of Japanese soccer fans, who continue to clean up stadiums, locker rooms, and trash left behind after matches. Plus, a big birthday shoutout to Joel! Later, the hour turns serious with a new shelter-in-place order in Boyle Heights after a massive fire, concerns over king tides, beach erosion, and dangerous surf conditions along the California coast. Conway also gets into Waymo vehicles creating a neighborhood nuisance in Westchester by using local streets as a staging area. The hour wraps with the modern financial headache we all know too well: subscriptions to everything. From streaming and apps to food, fitness, software, and mystery monthly charges, Americans are paying more than ever — and Conway asks the big question: how many subscriptions do you actually have?

Care More Be Better: Social Impact, Sustainability + Regeneration Now
In honor of Juneteenth, we're sharing something special: the opening chapter of Reimagining Democracy for a Good Life, the podcast hosted by legendary equity advocate Angela Glover Blackwell, founder in residence of PolicyLink. In "Democracy Dreaming," Angela takes us to Los Angeles, a city she didn't expect to become a hopeful case study in multiracial democracy, and shows us why it might be exactly that. Featuring voices from LA Mayor Karen Bass, economist Manuel Pastor, Community Coalition CEO Alberto Retana, young housing organizer Tiffany Benitez, advocate Denise Fairchild, and the poetry of Chinaka Hodge, this episode reframes democracy not as something we have, but as something we practice. Angela's second season is coming soon, and we're thrilled to share that we'll be sitting down with Angela herself in early July, with that conversation releasing later next month. Got a question you'd love us to ask her? Send it to hello@caremorebebetter.com.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.17) In this hour of The Tim Conway Jr. Show, it’s pure LA chaos as the crew urges everyone to shelter in place amid multiple fires, evacuations, ammonia spills, chemical hazards, and solar panels literally sparking up trouble. The big one in Boyle Heights has everyone talking (nominative determinism at its finest?), and it’s made even harder to fight because the rooftop batteries on that giant cold storage facility keep feeding the flames — Oracle Timmy breaks it down. Tim also gives major props to LA Fire Chief Jaime Moore, who apparently can’t decide how to pronounce his own name. Later, KTLA’s Mary Beth McDade joins the show (twice, thanks to a bad connection) to revisit the terrifying 2013 Christopher Dorner saga — the fired LAPD officer whose deadly rampage and Facebook manifesto had the entire region shaking in their boots 13 years ago.

Parents, students, and educators are speaking out against a sweeping leadership reshuffle across the Fresno Unified School District that will reassign dozens of school administrators. The district plans to move five principals and 26 vice principals from their current campuses, including many tenured leaders with years of experience at their respective schools. Firefighters are battling an explosive fire that broke out at a large cold storage facility in Boyle Heights on Wednesday afternoon, prompting a shelter-in-place in the area due to heavy smoke. It’s possible that this fire could turn into a hazardous materials situation, according to Sky5’s Gil Leyvas, who is over the scene, so residents in the area are urged to take precautions.

Shelter-in-place orders were issued in Boyle Heights on Wednesday afternoon as firefighters worked to combat a massive blaze involving an ammonia gas leak inside a cold storage facility. In recent weeks, one video portrayed Texas Senate candidate James Talarico singing a rendition of “My Favorite Things” praising transgender children, while another showed Mike Rogers, a Michigan Senate hopeful, as a Hulk-like figure rescuing people from a collapsing building. There also was a viral video of Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt as Batman saving the city from an incumbent depicted as the Joker.
