The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (5.29) 

Friday is here, and Conway is ready to take the edge off! The crew kicks things off with weekend buzz talk, student love for Fridays, and the universal mission of getting through the week and into relaxation mode. But nothing kills a good buzz faster than the wrong snack — especially when Trader Joe’s candy starts giving people the runs. That’s right, the crew gets into the ultimate Friday night disaster: trying to feel loose and happy, only to have candy turn your weekend into a bathroom sprint. 

The show also dives into the wild fact that 60 Minutes has been on the air for 57 years, Conway hosting the massive OC Business Awards, and a possible medical breakthrough involving a new gene-editing cholesterol drug that could change how high cholesterol is treated. 

Then things get weird with the internet’s latest obsession: “hot rodent men.” From Timothée Chalamet-style features to Hollywood’s strangest beauty trend, the crew breaks down why rat-like is somehow now attractive. 

Conway also admits he likes gambling on new medicine, comparing it to carnival rides, Vegas casinos, Whiskey Pete’s, and his love for Primm Casino. Plus, he pitches a genius idea for reviving Primm with “The Oasis.” 

Later, the show turns serious with a Riverside apartment complex fire that displaced around 150 people, including UC Riverside students forced out during finals. And somehow, it all circles back to viral fire interviews, Michelle Dobney’s unforgettable “Not today!” moment, Elvis Presley’s legendary bathroom demise, and a Friday night reminder: protect your buzz, choose your candy wisely.
