The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 3 (6.30) Big episode. We start under the hood — ABC7 car specialist Dave Kunz drops by with the best new rides you can grab for under $30K.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 4 (6.29) Whip-round time — what percentage of American households own a car compared to the rest of the world? A staggering 92% here in the US versus just 19% globally — we really are living in car country! And the big question: You accidentally plow into a building… do you sit there stunned like a deer in the headlights, or slam it in reverse and try to casually roll away like nothing happened? California’s annual budget just dropped at a whopping $351 billion, while the Garden Grove chemical disaster cleanup from the May evacuation of 50,000 locals finally starts today. Timmy got nostalgic about his Alaska cruise with his mom at age 15 — he was the youngest passenger by decades and caught the crew tossing garbage overboard at stupid o’clock in the morning. The guys also debate why all the coolest girls seem to be named Jill (have you ever met a bad Jill?) and give a shoutout to all the awesome (if occasionally stripper-esque) Nikkis out there. Timmy caught someone swiping KFI snacks into a backpack — how rude! — before sharing his class-act Home Depot moment trying to tip a helpful employee $40 even though the guy couldn’t accept it. Mark topped it with a Vegas waitress story and a crisp C-note. Plus, Huntington Beach Independence Day producer Stacey Newton joins the show — she’s been running the parade for 26 years! With America’s 250th birthday this year, rumors are flying that this one could draw close to a million spectators, and Timmy might just be your grand marshal — ding-dong with you!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Episode DescriptionWhat happens when a single industrial chemical tank threatens an entire community?In this episode of the Emergency Management Network Podcast, Todd DeVoe and Andrew Boyarsky examine the Garden Grove hazardous materials incident that led to the evacuation of approximately 50,000 residents and businesses. What began as a concern over an overheating tank containing methyl methacrylate (MMA) quickly escalated into one of Southern California's most significant precautionary evacuations in recent memory.Todd and Andrew break down the incident from an emergency management perspective, discussing the decision-making process behind large-scale evacuations, the challenges of public messaging during uncertain situations, and the realities of managing low-probability, high-consequence events. They also explore what this event reveals about industrial hazards in urban environments and how emergency managers can better prepare their communities for complex technological disasters.This conversation is not about assigning blame. It is about understanding risk, learning from real-world events, and strengthening preparedness before the next incident occurs.In This EpisodeUnderstanding the Incident* What happened in Garden Grove?* The role of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and why it created concern.* How emergency officials assessed the threat.* Why was a precautionary evacuation ordered?The Emergency Management Perspective* Decision-making under uncertainty.* Balancing public safety against disruption.* The importance of situational awareness and intelligence gathering.* Working with fire, law enforcement, public health, and industry partners.Evacuating 50,000 People* Challenges of moving large populations quickly.* Traffic management and public compliance.* Protecting vulnerable populations and special needs residents.* Shelter and mass care considerations.Public Information and Risk Communication* Communicating complex hazards to the public.* Managing rumors and misinformation.* Building trust during rapidly evolving incidents.* The role of social media and traditional media.Lessons for Emergency Managers* Planning for industrial and hazardous materials incidents.* Reviewing evacuation zones and protective action strategies.* Strengthening public-private partnerships.* Incorporating technological hazards into emergency operations plans.* Training for events that are unlikely but potentially catastrophic.Looking Ahead* What communities can learn from Garden Grove.* Emerging risks associated with industrial facilities in urban areas.* Building resilience through planning, exercises, and partnerships.* Why preparedness remains a community-wide responsibility.Key Takeaways* Rare events still require planning.* Protective actions must be based on available information, not perfect information.* Effective risk communication can be as important as operational response.* Strong relationships between emergency managers, fire agencies, law enforcement, and private industry are essential.* The Garden Grove incident serves as a reminder that technological disasters can have community-wide consequences.About the HostsTodd DeVoe, CEM, is the Editor-in-Chief of The Emergency Management Network, Emergency Management Coordinator for the City of Inglewood, educator, author, and IAEM-USA leader.Andrew Boyarsky is a veteran emergency management professional and co-host of the EMN Podcast, bringing practical insight and operational experience to discussions on disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and resilience.Tags#EmergencyManagement #HazMat #GardenGrove #PublicSafety #EmergencyPreparedness #RiskCommunication #DisasterManagement #CommunityResilience #HazardousMaterials #EMNPodcast #ToddDeVoe #AndrewBoyarsky #EvacuationPlanning #CrisisLeadership #WholeCommunityApproach This is a public episode.

In the early morning hours of March 19, 1985, 23-year-old Linda Brown was found shot to death in her bed in her home in Garden Grove, California. Hours later, her stepdaughter, 14 year old Cinnamon, was found in the doghouse in the backyard, with a note essentially admitting that she'd shot Linda. She maintained her story for years, until she learned what her father, David, was doing on the outside while she was incarcerated for the murder. Then, she came forward with the truth... and it shocked everyone.

//The Wire//2300Z May 25, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: WEEKEND RHETORIC OF POTENTIAL PEACE DEAL IN MIDDLE EAST GIVES WAY TO RENEWED EFFORTS TO REIGNITE THE WAR IN IRAN. MULTIPLE INDUSTRIAL INCIDENTS REPORTED IN LOS ANGELES. PEPPER SPRAY INCIDENTS CONTINUE IN JAPAN. SHOOTING REPORTED AT WHITE HOUSE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Japan: This morning a chemical incident was reported at Ginza Six Mall in Tokyo. One individual reportedly sprayed an unidentified noxious substance at one of the entrances to the mall, which resulted in many people becoming ill. 12x individuals reported throat pain, and a total of 25x people sought medical treatment after the substance was released.Analyst Comment: When it comes to chemical incidents involving unknown materials in public places, the potential explanations vary widely. In this case, the origin appears to be pepper spray, with some locals claiming that an argument between two foreign men devolved into one of the two pepper spraying the other. Officially, no statements by authorities have confirmed what happened. As always, incidents like this occurring in Japan are extremely rare as pepper spray is heavily regulated and illegal to carry throughout the country. Consequently, incidents which wouldn't be worth mentioning in the western world result in overwhelming responses in Japan, and in this case this is the second such incident this month. Two weeks ago, someone deployed pepper spray on a train at Kawasaki Station, which occurred without much media attention. -HomeFront-California: Multiple major industrial incidents have taken place in Los Angeles over the past few days. Several days ago, a chemical incident was reported at the GKN Aerospace facility in Garden Grove. The incident involved a cooling system failing inside a large tank holding about 7,000 gallons of methyl methacrylate (UN: 1247), a Toxic Industrial Compound (TIC) used in the manufacture of epoxies and resins. This is a highly unstable compound if not handled appropriately, which can result in chemical reactions taking place inside the tank if certain conditions are met. Over the weekend, these conditions resulted in the evacuation of roughly 50,000 people, with local authorities being concerned that the tank might explode. As of this morning, a crack had formed in the tank, relieving the pressure and reducing the risk of an explosion.Separately, a large fire was reported in South Gate, as an automotive facility burned Sunday afternoon. A shelter-in-place order was issued for the local area due to the smoke and the close proximity of the fire to residential communities. Localized power outages were also reported in the neighborhood, but power was restored after the fire was knocked down throughout the evening.In East Los Angeles, a spill of crude oil was reported after a telecoms crew installing fiber optic lines accidentally hit a petroleum pipeline, causing a rupture. This pipeline break resulted in a few thousand gallons of crude entering the storm drains in the vicinity of the intersection of Caesar Chavez and Eastern Avenue.Washington D.C. - Over the weekend, a small arms engagement was reported at the White House, after a man approached the perimeter fence with a handgun. Authorities state that one individual approached a Secret Service checkpoint and drew a firearm from a bag, before engaging the agents at the checkpoint at the corner of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. Secret Service personnel engaged the shooter, ending the incident. One bystander was wounded during the incident.Analyst Comment: The suspect has been identified as Nasire Best, who had a long history of presenting security threats to the White House. Best had previously attempted to breach the compound in the past, and had also made verbal threats toward Secret Service personnel. In June of last year, Best was arrested after blocking a traffic lane entering the White House compound, and subsequently committed to a mental institution. -----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Over the weekend, several developments have taken place with regards to diplomacy in the Middle East. On Saturday, President Trump announced that a peace deal with Iran was "largely negotiated", subject to the final details being worked out. Almost immediately following this announcement, Iranian state media refuted these claims as not being true, or being different from what has been discussed so far during the negotiations. On Sunday, President Trump reversed his stance on the immediacy of the deal being reached, stating that he has instructed his staff to take their time regarding the details of a deal. This morning, the Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that no deal is on the table, and the deadlock continues.As it stands, it's possible that the weekend shenanigans are the result of a few different theories. For one, the rhetoric from the White House could be the standard effort to calm economic markets. Normally, these "good news" social media posts are issued on Monday mornings shortly before the opening bell on Wall Street, but lately have also been taking place late in the week. Conversely, the confusing messaging regarding a potential peace deal could me more organic...it's not the first time that peace talks have collapsed at the eleventh hour all on their own, or from actions by parties around the region objecting to the deal in some manner.It's also possible that this is a repeat of the now long-forgotten final days before this war began, most notably what transpired in the 72 hours leading up to the February 28th attacks. In retrospect, history indicates that even as the last-minute negotiations were taking place, the decision to use military force had been made many days before the war officially began. Likewise, a similar situation might be getting set up right now; it is possible that the US is transitioning into a renewed targeting effort. Until something happens either way, the three main possibilities remain, just as they have since the start of the ceasefire: Either a deal is reached and everything returns to normal as best it can, or the U.S. returns to bombing and the war resumes, or the stalemate continues as before with no real change to any of the points of deadlock. Time will tell what happens next, but for now nothing is signed and the "pause" to the war continues.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

President Trump has said a deal with Iran is "largely negotiated" and that he will either sign "a great and meaningful" pact with Tehran, "or there will be no deal." Fifty thousand Southern California residents remain under evacuation orders Monday after emergency crews raced to prevent a tank holding a volatile industrial chemical from exploding at an aerospace facility in Garden Grove. Saturday's shooting near the White House has raised security concerns ahead of summer celebrations to mark America's 250th birthday. The shooter, who was killed after opening fire on a Secret Service checkpoint, had previously blocked a White House entry lane last June, court records show.
