Dave Kunz from ABC and KFI’s Car Specialist revealed Ford’s newest 4D immersive Mustang experience, while noting an industry shift mirroring the “Dumb House” trend—drivers are tired of giant touch screens and want real knobs and buttons again. Even Chinese EVs like the Xiaoming XL7 are embracing this back-to-basics design.
Later, Conway covered big national stories: the Mega Millions jackpot soaring to $843 million, and Fox Sports firing ex-USC QB Mark Sanchez following a violent confrontation in Indianapolis where he was stabbed in the chest. Drew Brees will take over his broadcasting duties.
Political fireworks continued with Elex Michaelson, host of CNN’s hit show “The Story Is…”—now the #1-rated cable news broadcast in its slot. The conversation hit heated quotes from Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump, the Governor run by Antonio Villaraigosa, and chatter about Hakeem Jeffries and Bernie Sanders shaping the 2026 Democratic field.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's camp I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. People
getting away and enjoying themselves. I don't know, maybe going
to Marongo. Maybe you're going up by I don't know,
San Francisco. You're gonna go watch the Rams play the
forty nine ers, and you're gonna drive, most likely in
a car. You're gonna be in your car this weekend.
And this is coming up on car season for the holidays.
(00:25):
I think it's Lexus or Toyota. One of them says
their their slogan is a December to remember. You know,
you get your loved one and brand new car for
Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanza or Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I don't know. I don't know if people buy cars
for each other for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Probably not. But Dave Coons's weather. It's the car expert
from ABC News.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
How you Coons?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Well, I'm doing fine, Timmy. It's always good to be
on with you, especially on a Friday as we're getting
ready for the weekend.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yes, let me ask you. Are you a Ford family
or a Chevy family.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Well, when I was a kid, my dad worked for
a big company, and he had his choice of company cars,
and he always chose a Chevy, and some of the
other guys chose a Ford. So they'd be parties at
our house and they'd be fighting, almost fighting over Fords
are better, Chevyes are better.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Right, But you know, but people, but people are very
territorial when it comes to that, and Ford families judge
Chevy families, and Chevy families judge Ford families.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
And then if you were a General Motors loyalist, when
you started doing a little better, you could move up
from a Chevy to a Pontiac, to an Olsenbiel to
a Buick, and then if you really made it, you
got a Cadillac.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yes, yeah, my dad love those Cadillacs.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Hey, so there's a cool thing you're going to talk
to us about the newest for d immersive experience showcasing
the Ford Mustang.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
What's that all about?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Well, what's going on in downtown LA. And I don't
know if you've been to any of these immersive things.
They've done them for the Art of Van Go, they've
done them for a Titanic, and it's this great kind
of high tech projection that you're in a huge room
and they project things all around you, on the walls
and on the floor, and they decided to be one,
so the Ford Mustang. So you go into this whole thing.
(02:05):
You get an intro video and your buddy Jay Leno
is part of that talking about how the Mustang is
so iconic. And then you go into this first room
and there's a beautiful nineteen sixty five Mustang facing you,
and as it starts, everything goes past you on these screens,
starting with the assembly line where they built the cars,
(02:25):
narrated by you know, yeah, it's kind of neat, and
then they show how it became part of popular culture.
So now the car is sitting literally it looks like
it's sitting on Santa Monica beachs with the pier in
the background and on the floor, the waves are lapping up.
You're in this thing, and it goes through the whole
culture of the sixties and how the car, you know,
kind of was defined by the culture, the colors and
everything else. Then you move into another room. Now we've
(02:48):
got a modern Mustang and that thing is on a
turntable and it's going fast and the scenery is flying by.
So when the car is facing you, the scenery is
going past you that direction. When the car turns, it's
going the other way. And they even have chairs because
they're afraid some people are gonna get motion sickness. Wow,
you're so in this thing? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And what does that cost? What do they charge you
to do that whole thing?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
They have all these prices I think twenty seven something,
but then if you have an early bird you get
a ten percent that. They had military discounts, they have
children discounts, so they had different pricing I think for
different times. The good news is this thing runs through January,
so it's going to be there a long time. It's
in't a building in the arts district in downtown and
I in fact, it's right next to the sixth Street bridge.
(03:30):
Kart of the thing they had there is a whole
thing on Hollywood and they've got the actual car that
Mary Tyler Moore drove in the later seasons of the
Marytoner Horses.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
So they had two Mustangs for the first few seasons.
You see her driving this really plain looking white coop
as she's sort of arriving in Minneapolis and driving around
and then part ways to the show. She bought a
new car. I don't know why you would buy a
convertible in Minneapolis, but okay, she bought a blue Mustang
convertible and Ford Motor Company was able to reacquire of
that car and it's in their heritage collection.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Now, oh that's great.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Hey, what is what are the prices doing nowadays on cars?
Are are we? I know during COVID prices went through
the roof. They have they come down?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Well, you know, we had COVID, then we had the
micro chip shortage there, shortage of cars and you see
these dealerships that had these huge banners, we will buy
your car any brand right here. You know, they needed cars.
That's all kind of stabilized. Although we've had a mini
chip shortage the sort of reared its head. It was
a weird mashup of a company from the Netherlands that
was having their chips made in China and then they
were selling them to the different manufacturers and so that's
(04:37):
that was a little ripple. I think they've solved that
and mainly now it's just affordability. You know, the interest
rates have gone up for financing a car, the prices
of cars. You know, people want stuff in their car
and people, why can't I buy a ten thousand dollars
car anymore? Well, you can in some countries, but not
in the United States where they having a safety regulations
and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Right, Dave, let me have Dave cons with us. Maybe
see news.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
You know, there's a trend going around people are into
dumb houses where they're taking all the technology out of
the house. I heard that some car companies that are
doing the same thing that we only use about eight
percent of what the car offers technologically.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Well, the big trend right now is people are complaining
about having to do everything with a touch screen, and
manufacturers like Porsche said, we've listened to our customers. When
we come up with new models, we're going to have
buttons and switches each oh good, rather than relying on
a screen to do everything. There's a car it's called
a pole Star and it's kind of a spinoff of Volvo.
(05:35):
It's very complicated. Their Chinese Zone and I drove their
suv a few months back, and you had to do
everything with the touch screen, including adjusting the air conditioning events. Wow,
It's like, can't I just reach out to that little
knob like they've been doing my whole life. I got
to touch that thing on the screen, and so I
think there's some pushback on that. So that's an example
of technology that maybe they went a little too far.
And the feedback is we want buttons. I think Hyundai
(05:57):
and Kia has said we're going to stick with buttons,
and companies like Honda put volume knobs back on the car.
It took away because they wanted you to slide your
finger up the thing. But I want to turn a
knob right.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
And also, you know the computer sometimes either Fritz is
out or doesn't you know, take some time to start up,
and people just want to get, you know, going. But
when it comes to that technology and you you mentioned
the you know the Chinese electric cars. Would if if
the Chinese electric cars were allowed to be sold in America,
would they dominate the space?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Well that's debatable except you have the CEO of Ford
Motor Company, a guy named Jim Farley, who I've known
for years because he used to work at Prayota. He
worked at Prayota and was tasked with launching the Scion brand.
If you remember that sure and his daily driver. You know,
car companies bringing cars that were not allowed to have.
His daily driver is a sleek four door Chinese car.
(06:53):
I think it's called a Jaoming XL seven, And he said,
this thing is amazing and it makes me afraid of
what China can do if if they were allowed to
sort of flood the market. So you know, that's the
guy at the top before company, and he's got a
little fear of kind of now, uh, regulations and tariffs
of course are going are going to play into that,
and that's a big mess that I try to stay
(07:15):
away from. But you know, you have a guy from
an iconic American car company saying I'm a little afraid
of what China's doing, and he drives the Chinese currents
as it's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Hey, what what is the website for the Ford Immersive Experience?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
It's easy. It's Mustang Immersive dot com slash Los.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Angeles, Mustang Immersive dot com slash Los Angeles, Los.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Lost Dash Angelus. I don't know why they did it
that way. It's good.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
So when you said it was easy, you lied. The website.
It's the most complicated website I've ever heard of my life.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Money, aren't you glad? I didn't start with ww yeah,
no kidding.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I usually thought I thought you were good for at
least one or two ww dot three dogs in a
commo session.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Buddy, I appreciate you coming on. Thanks for the information.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Man. Hey, listen, go see this thing. Even if you're
not into cars, you're gonna be blown away by it.
It's really cool.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You got it?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
All right, thanks Bob, all right, there he goes, all right,
Dave koons, that's a cool deal. If you're really into
mustangs or even you know, Dave said, you know, if
you're not in the cars.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Go, So everybody's got to go. I guess it's.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Mustang Immersive dot com slash loss dash angelus. And he said,
right before he gave me that address, Oh, it's easy
at dressing the worm. It's the longest in the history
of the world. That's what it is. That's how he
should have sold it. Hey, here's a real complicated, long
ass address. And I would bet that most people listening
(08:46):
right now would be ukerd in spelling immersive.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I don't know. Maybe you can knock it out, but
maybe not. I don't know. I M M E R
S I ve E immersive.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Mega Millions is up to eight hundred and forty three
million dollars. It's snuck up on US eight hundred and
forty three million, and that could be yours if you
get these numbers right.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Wouldn't this be a memorable way to kick off the
holiday season.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I mean, take a look at this.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Eight hundred and forty three million dollars on the line
for the Mega Millions, and that makes it the eighth
largest jackpot in the game's history. Tonight's drawing, by the way,
is also the longest streak without a winner. So you
know what it's time for. It's time for my favorite
part of the assignment, and that's testing my luck. Danny
here is ready for his close up.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Good morning to you.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Remember guys, it's five dollars, not two dollars. That price
for the ticket for the Mega.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Millions went up earlier this year.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
One ticket for Mega Millions.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Please.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Now, the good news about this formatting change is that
your chances have actually improved to win the jackpot. The
bad news they're still incredibly slim. We're talking one in
two hundred and ninety min. Thank you so much. Danny,
But there are also other prizes, smaller prizes that you
can win. The Mega Million says that since you and
more than eleven million people have one prizes, a vary
(10:10):
in size for the game.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
If you do win, a couple of.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Things to keep in mind. You want to sign and
secure the back of your ticket. You also want to
arrange a team of professionals ahead of time, especially for talking.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
The big bucks. Wait wait, wait, let me go back
here a second of your ticket.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
You also you sign the back of your ticket, all right,
I get that, So want to arrange.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
A team of professionals ahead of time.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
You want to arrange a set of professionals, a team
of professionals before the drawing. So you're going to call
lawyers before the drawing and get them organized. What you
can pay thousands to lawyers and then maybe probably won't win.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
To want to arrange a team of professionals ahead of.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Time, ahead of what the drawing or oh maybe in
cash and the ticket in.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Especially for talking the big bucks. And then don't rush
into any of the major purchases. Don't be too hasty
with that.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
But that's why you win.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
To run into the hasty purchases. Because you can't run
into hasty purchases when you're broke, and when you win,
you got to buy a house and a cool car,
an expensive watch, and payoff Bomb's house.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
That's what you're supposed to do with the money. That's
why it's yours.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
You also have options, guys. You can always play the
power ball as well. There's nearly half a billion dollars
on the line with that. But I'm starting to wonder
if you have a better chance of winning the lottery
or getting your hands on one of those Barista viral Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Cuting probably fifty to fifty on that, all right. Mark Sanchez,
who used to work with Fox, got into a fight
in Indianapolis with a truck driver guy who's picking up oil
from restaurants. Not a great job, not a great job,
and then Mark Sanchez comes up on him. There's an altercation,
(11:56):
there's a stabbing. I think both of the men were stabbed.
And now, wow, he's been shown the door at Fox Sports.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Fox Sports has cut ties with former USC quarterback Mark
Sanchez well. According to multiple news outlets, Sanchez won't return
as a sports analyst after a violent confrontation last month
led to his arrest on felony charges. He is accused
of beating up a truck driver in Indianapolis during a dispute.
That driver sabs Sanchez in the chest, claiming self defense.
(12:28):
Sanchez is free on bail and he is set to
go on trial next month. Former Saints quarterback Drew Brees
will now replace Sanchez.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah, that's that's a good move because I don't imagine
Drew Brees will be kicking the craft out of truck
drivers in Indianapolis. You know, when you do dismiss a guy,
you want to replace him with a guy who's not
going to do that. You don't want to double up.
You don't want a truck driver fight Ding dong. So
it looks like Drew Brees. Probably Drew Brees is a
(12:59):
terrific guy, probably a great family man. You never hear
about him, you know, with coke and doing blow with hookers.
He's probably a cool replacement. I'm not saying that Mark
Sanchez did that. I'm just saying that out of all
the sports guys, you wouldn't think Drew Brees is, you know,
doing blow off of hooker's back. Is that a thing
I never got into blow? And is that I don't
(13:23):
know if that's a.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Thing or not. You know, doing cocaine off somebody's back.
I don't know. Marv Albert, that guy went for it.
You know, you got to give him that.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Life.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
That's right, all right. Alzheimer's disease, it's not good. And
anytime anyone's gone through it with their mom or dad
or grandma and grandpa, it is really tough, really really tough.
But there is a way that you can slow it down.
So if you're younger and you don't have Alzheimer's, there's
(13:55):
one thing that you can do that all the doctors
agree you can do either be where you get it
in early stages or when you have it. They can
slow it down and we'll come back them and they
tell you what that is. It's very important. So you
got to come back to that. I'll give you a hint.
It's walking, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Can you give it to the hint? I didn't want to.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Let's say somebody's in their car, you know, if their
dad and their dad's got Alzheimer's, and he's like, I.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Don't know if I'm gonna make it through the break. Oh,
you're so considered to tease him like that. No, Dad,
hold on, hold on, we got we got we just
got that.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
We got a cars for kids and an American Vision
windows and a Morongo thing to get through and then Sweet.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
James a little bit of him and then we're in
the travel store. We'll be No, he'll tell you. I'm
sure he'll tell you.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demaya from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Ding Dog with everybody listening. It's Friday. Time to go
home and get your buzz on. But wait to get home.
Cops don't like it when you do it in the car,
and it could kill somebody and hurt somebody and really
f your life up.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Everybody is life up.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So hold on, get home and then you know, do
whatever you want, all right. The number one rated TV
show in America on cable this week is The Story
Is on CNN. It was the number one rated TV
show on cable and the host of it is with us,
Alex Michaelson.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Congratulations, dude, sting down with you.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That's a bit misleading, Okay, all right, Well, if you
want to say it's misleading, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I was going to stick by it. But if you
want to.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
If you want to destroy my credibility and yours as well,
you can feel free.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
We did win our time slot and in the demo
on election night, I did. I was of coverage and
we were number one.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
That's a big deal. Look, you've been on CNN for
ten minutes and your number.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
One, right.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
I was very proud of that and a testament to
their investment in the West Coast, in our region and
showcasing people around country that people out here matter. And
I think it's really good to be able to highlight
a lot of voices on both sides from our area
and stories that matter to the West Coast.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I mean, we're somebody. We're somebody out here, you know.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we are.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah. It's a great show.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I've discovered your secret though, and I hope you don't
mind me outing you here. But you invite these politicians
in and you're very sweet to them, you're very kind
to them, you look like you're their best friend, and
then you stick them and you make them say something
that's going to go international, and boom, you did it
with Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
We did. I mean that that went That was pretty international, right, But.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I don't blame you for that.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
She just she can't control herself when she talks about Trump.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
I think she wanted to get that message out. I
think she was happy with that message, clearly calling him
for people that didn't see it. She called him a
vile creature and the worst thing on the planet. And
then Donald Trump clearly saw that interview and responded that
she's an evil person and it was good that she
was retiring, so right.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
But I don't know if you're on your way out
of politics or you're on your way out of a job,
I don't know if the proper reaction is to be
really angry. I think that leads people to believe that
you're not going out on your own terms.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Or you have nothing to lose and you just let
it all hang out at that point, depending on I mean, look,
I know I know how you feel and many of
your listeners feel. But there are a lot of people
on the left that feel that way about Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Sure, I get that, and.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
I think she articulated the way I think she actually
feels about him. And we want people to be honest
in politics, and I think she was. I think she
was being honest in that moment, and I think he
was being honest and thinking that she was not a
good person and that he was happy that she was leaving.
But right to say whatever you think.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah, But to say the most vile person in the world,
where there's a world filled with vile people, is a
little over that time.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Yeah, I mean, I mean to suggest that he's worse
than hamas terrorists or rapist or some murderers or all
the rest of it does seem.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
To be a little a little much, That's right, Antonio
viewer gos is nice to see him back in the
national stage running for governor of the state of California.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I like that guy.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Yeah, And you know, it's it's interesting because right now
that race for governor is wide open. Oh yeah, you know,
which hasn't really been the case the last few times.
I mean, Gavin Newsom was a big front runner, Jerry
Brown was a big front runner. Arnold, you know, obviously
got all this attention and was able to get in there.
But you know, Katie Porter killed technically the front runner.
But we've seen several different polls sort of suggesting that
(18:45):
she's weaker. Because of these videos that came out. Everybody
was assuming that Alex Badia was going to run. The
chatter on Washington was that he was about to make
an announcement that he was going to run. Then in
the middle of the day on election Day, he goes
up to a podium in the mid the Senate and
just says I'm not running, which kind of came out
of nowhere, and he hasn't done any interviews afterwards to
(19:05):
explain what that was really about. And so now this
this race is wide open, and obviously Padilla would have
been a huge threat to Antonio via Goosa kind of
a similar lane that he was going down, and now
Vira Gosa and javieror Bsera are really battling out for
that sort of Latino lane of this race, and who
(19:26):
knows where it goes. But it's also a lot of
strong support in the primary, at least for the two
Republicans that are running, which is Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
You know, if I was.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Running for governor in the state of California, do you
think I would be what should position my set in
the and myself in the Latino lane?
Speaker 6 (19:47):
You don't think they struggle with that, But you know, anyway,
some people, you know, you use.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Number three in the polls right now is Steve and
Jay Klubek. He's come out of nowhere. He's number three
or number four, tied for third.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
He is a fascinating person to talk to, isn't he
He's great.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I mean he comes on with us all the time,
and I think you know him coming on KFI on
this show has vaulted in to the top. And I
would consider myself an accidental kingmaker. Sorry, that's just.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
I think that you are. I think most people turned
to you and show that I used to be John Covelt.
That's about him for years. We're now taken over as
the one driving politics in the state.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Hey, I think it was a cheam uh Jeffries who
had a some kind of press conference and didn't Bernie
Sanders uh sort of just bomb the and grabbed the mic.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
He wasn't supposed to be there.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
I did not see that, if that was a thing.
But an interesting I haven't seen that, my shy buddy.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I don't know how you can see everything though, you know,
there's so many you know, back in back when when
you know we're we're a little different in age, but
I mean back in Paul Tics in the eighties and nineties,
there was one major story a week or one major
story a month.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Now there's ten major stories a day.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
It is so crazy to keep up with. And it
has been a lot, so programming two hours a night
Live is it's really been a lot, but it's been fun.
I mean, you do it, you do more than that,
but it's been an interesting challenge.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
And not only do I do more than that, but
I also do it and I don't complain.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
Mister, Yeah, I'm not complaining.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Learning who's coming up next, who's on the big program?
And by the way, it's nine o'clock every weeknight on CNN,
is that correct?
Speaker 6 (21:45):
Yeah, nine to eleven pm every weeknight on CNN. Tonight,
we're going to be covering what's going on with the
airlines and the delays that are likely coming because of
this shutdown. We've also got breaking news in Portland. They
just judges rule what happened with the National Guard to
be unconstitutional, so we'll be getting into that. We've got
(22:05):
a panel talking We're also talking sports later to rash
Marcazi and Yovann Buja coming in to talk about some
of the sports betting stuff, which has been interesting and
what's going on in that world. So we've got you know,
a lot, a lot coming on tonight at the end
of a of a crazy, crazy week.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, and you've only been on what two weeks?
Speaker 6 (22:25):
This is the end of our second week.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah, second week. And you made national international news with
Nancy Pelosi. That's a big deal. They must be happy
over there.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Yeah, and that our interview with Governor Newsom made a
whole lot of news too when we first launched. So
it's been, it's been, it's been good. And I think
that they're hopefully seeing the value in investing in our region,
which is which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Let me ask you and again, Alex Michaelson's willis He's
on CNN every night from nine to eleven PM. And
it's a local show here. It's done in Burbank, and
it's a it's a you know, a great show. It's
not too heavily in politics either. You can watch it
if you're a Trump fan, you can watch it if
you hate Trump, you know, both ways. But who do
you think is the leader right now? Obviously Trump is
(23:08):
the leader of the Republican Party. Who is the current
leader after Tuesday of the Democratic Party?
Speaker 6 (23:16):
I mean, most of the political experts that I talked
to afterwards said that the front runner for the nomination
at least right now is probably Gavin Newsom. I mean,
he has certainly won this year in terms of establishing
himself as sort of the most notable anti Trump governor. Okay,
if you've seen what he's done with this proposition fifty,
(23:39):
he's increased his poll numbers, he's increased his social media followers,
he's increased his donor base and his fundraising numbers. If
you look at most polls of the early primaries, he's
pretty close to the top, if not at the top.
And so he's you know, and a lot of Democrats
are giving him credit for fighting and doing something. I
know that several of your viewers probably are, you know,
(24:01):
want to throw up at the prospect of him becoming president.
But there but you know, in terms of winning over
the Democratic base who are hungry for somebody to fight
Trump and give him a middle finger, he's done that effectively.
Whether that is able to be sustainable? Does that act
get exhausting?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
You know?
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Is there another turn? As things change every day, multiple
times a day, we'll see. But right now I think
he's you know, he's had a really strong week in
terms of establishing himself as a leader in the party.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Okay, here's why I don't think Newsome would be a
horrible president. And and I got two reasons. A. If
he becomes president of the United States, he's going to
bring a lot of money back to California to shore
up our budget fall and that's probably, you know, the
biggest reason to vote for him.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
And B, if he becomes.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
President, let's let the nation all get a taste of
how we've been living for the last eight years.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Let's bring let's bring homelessness.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
That's right, that's right. Yeah, dishonesty, homelessness, corruptions.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Do you think you think your gas prices are low?
We're bringing them up, baby.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yeah, you want to live like us here, jump on
this man.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Your your house is too cheap, will make it more.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
But I really I think if he became president, he
would bring a lot of money back to California.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I do believe that a lot.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
And honestly, that was one of the things that a
lot of ability Kamala Harris, who was the first Democratic nominee.
You know, there never been a Democratic nominee from California
until Kamala Harris and we certainly didn't earn the nomination
in the typical way, let's say, getting there. And so
you know, Newsom would be the first true Democratic nominee
that went through a primary from California. We'll see if
(25:52):
that's held against him, you know, or not. Do people care?
Do people think that somebody from California is intelectable? I
think it's going to be one of his challenges too,
because the rest of the country thinks a lot of
the things that you just said about about our state.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, but I think it's important if he does become
president that at least the Republicans and Democrats realize and
the independence that he would bring an s load of
money back to California and would help all of us out.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
So that's the one silver lining.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
But I appreciate you coming on every every weeknight nine
to eleven PM on CNN.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I'm with you, and congratulations but a huge success over
there in your first couple weeks.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
Thank you, all right, you very much.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Things along with you, all right, Alex Michaelson, CNN tonight
on see It nine to eleven PM.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty Friday and time to get home.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
It was a it seems like a very short week.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I think we're all into the Dodgers, the Dodgers winning,
going to the Dodgers Parade, are all on a high
that they that team actually won that game.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
I still can't believe. And I watched that game almost
every night.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
When I go home and I got it on DVR,
I have a couple of beers, submarine sandwich, you know,
just loading up on cholesterol and alcohol and watch that game.
I still can't believe the Dodgers won. It's unbelievable, unbelievable
that all that came together and the Dodgers won back
to back World series, back to back.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
That's great, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Alzheimer's disease, it is good if you walk. Walking is
one of the ways you can either you know, prolong
it or not prolong it but put it off, or
you might if you'd have it it, It is going
to be less severe if you walk. Walking is the key,
(27:48):
at least right now to Alzheimer's.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
It's getting walking.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
A few thousand steps daily could help slow the cognitive
decline linked to the disease archie.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
But of course the doctor terror Nirula is here with more,
so go.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
Well, if we needed one more study to tell us
to move more, here it is so. This was a
study of about three hundred older Americans fifty to ninety
years old Robin, who had no dementia but did have
evidence of amyloid plaques in the brain.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
That I liked that fifty is old. Older Americans are
fifty now fifty, it is still young.
Speaker 8 (28:18):
Plaques in the brain that early sign of Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers gave them a pedometer, had them walk for about
a week, and then follow them over fourteen years. They
did cognitive testing and pet scans to look at their brain,
and they found that those who walked about three thousand
to five thousand steps a day, again not that much,
about one and a half to two and a half miles.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
There you go, three to five thousand steps ah day.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Three thousand to five thousand steps a day.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
There you go, that's all you need.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
Reduce their cognitive decline by about three years. Wese who
walked five thousand to seven thousand steps slowed their cognitive
decline by about seven years. If you went over seven
thousand steps, it seemed like the benefits kind of plateaued,
which we've seen before with some of those other studies.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Okay, so seven is mad. Once you had seven thousand steps,
call an uber and get home.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
They also looked at that plaque in the brain and
a different kind of plaque one called TAO, which forms
tangles that we think is really part of the pathologic
process of Alzheimer's, and those who really moved moderately, who
had larger evidence of amyloid, they actually reduced the progression
or development of that TOWE protein in the brain. On
the other hand, those who were sedentary over time had more.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Towel in the brain. Oh all right, you got to
get off your ass. Okay, this is it. This is
a wrap.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
It's not hard to do. You don't have to bench,
you don't have to run a marathon every day. You
just have to walk three to seven thousand steps a day.
So get your flashlight if you're walking at night, and
put something bright on so cars can see you. Don't
walk around with black shoes, black pants, black hat, black
shirt or black jacket and nope, flashlight, I can't see you.
(29:51):
I can't see you at night. Almost killed a guy
in Burbank about three months ago. I didn't see him.
I didn't see him. He was wearing black everything.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I'm black. I'm black. I'm black. I couldn't see him.
So get a flashlight or get a reflector, vest something
so I can see you. I can't see you.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
How might exercise impact this, Well, we think that increases
cerebral blood floor blood float to the brain, it helps
clear out toxins, and it may have anti inflammatory effects. Now,
this was a small study, definitely needs to be replicated
in a large and more diverse population, but once again
evidence that says just a small, moderate amount of walking
could be really, really better. In the study, three hundred people.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah, so let's get back to the basics.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
How do people get started?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
You put your shoes on, you put your pants on,
you put your shirt, maybe a jacket, and then you
leave the house. Put one foot in front of the other,
and soon you'll be walking across the Put one food
in front of the other. Oh no, no, put one
(30:55):
foot in front of the other. Soon you'll be walking
across the floor. Put one foot in front of the other,
and you'd be walking out the door.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah I think so. Yeah, that's a great song. Yeah, man,
great song. And start walking well, George.
Speaker 8 (31:06):
Again, it comes down to really making a mindful, intentional
effort to increase your movement every single day, right, So
you want to build it into your daily routine. So
everyone who's watching TV now you can stand up and
start walking in place. Take a walk to the grocery store,
get up on your lunch break during your office hours
and take a walk. We just got a dog, Harley.
She's definitely making all of us walk a lot more. George.
(31:26):
You could take up dancing.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I bet he already does, don't you think? I bet
he does the Katillion class or square dancing something billion.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
All right, we got to take a break.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
We're live on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear
us live on KFI AM six forty four to seven
pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the
iHeart Radio app.
It's camp I am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. People
getting away and enjoying themselves. I don't know, maybe going
to Marongo. Maybe you're going up by I don't know,
San Francisco. You're gonna go watch the Rams play the
forty nine ers, and you're gonna drive, most likely in
a car. You're gonna be in your car this weekend.
And this is coming up on car season for the holidays.
(00:25):
I think it's Lexus or Toyota. One of them says
their their slogan is a December to remember. You know,
you get your loved one and brand new car for
Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanza or Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I don't know. I don't know if people buy cars
for each other for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Probably not. But Dave Coons's weather. It's the car expert
from ABC News.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
How you Coons?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Well, I'm doing fine, Timmy. It's always good to be
on with you, especially on a Friday as we're getting
ready for the weekend.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yes, let me ask you. Are you a Ford family
or a Chevy family.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Well, when I was a kid, my dad worked for
a big company, and he had his choice of company cars,
and he always chose a Chevy, and some of the
other guys chose a Ford. So they'd be parties at
our house and they'd be fighting, almost fighting over Fords
are better, Chevyes are better.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Right, But you know, but people, but people are very
territorial when it comes to that, and Ford families judge
Chevy families, and Chevy families judge Ford families.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
And then if you were a General Motors loyalist, when
you started doing a little better, you could move up
from a Chevy to a Pontiac, to an Olsenbiel to
a Buick, and then if you really made it, you
got a Cadillac.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yes, yeah, my dad love those Cadillacs.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Hey, so there's a cool thing you're going to talk
to us about the newest for d immersive experience showcasing
the Ford Mustang.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
What's that all about?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Well, what's going on in downtown LA. And I don't
know if you've been to any of these immersive things.
They've done them for the Art of Van Go, they've
done them for a Titanic, and it's this great kind
of high tech projection that you're in a huge room
and they project things all around you, on the walls
and on the floor, and they decided to be one,
so the Ford Mustang. So you go into this whole thing.
(02:05):
You get an intro video and your buddy Jay Leno
is part of that talking about how the Mustang is
so iconic. And then you go into this first room
and there's a beautiful nineteen sixty five Mustang facing you,
and as it starts, everything goes past you on these screens,
starting with the assembly line where they built the cars,
(02:25):
narrated by you know, yeah, it's kind of neat, and
then they show how it became part of popular culture.
So now the car is sitting literally it looks like
it's sitting on Santa Monica beachs with the pier in
the background and on the floor, the waves are lapping up.
You're in this thing, and it goes through the whole
culture of the sixties and how the car, you know,
kind of was defined by the culture, the colors and
everything else. Then you move into another room. Now we've
(02:48):
got a modern Mustang and that thing is on a
turntable and it's going fast and the scenery is flying by.
So when the car is facing you, the scenery is
going past you that direction. When the car turns, it's
going the other way. And they even have chairs because
they're afraid some people are gonna get motion sickness. Wow,
you're so in this thing? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And what does that cost? What do they charge you
to do that whole thing?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
They have all these prices I think twenty seven something,
but then if you have an early bird you get
a ten percent that. They had military discounts, they have
children discounts, so they had different pricing I think for
different times. The good news is this thing runs through January,
so it's going to be there a long time. It's
in't a building in the arts district in downtown and
I in fact, it's right next to the sixth Street bridge.
(03:30):
Kart of the thing they had there is a whole
thing on Hollywood and they've got the actual car that
Mary Tyler Moore drove in the later seasons of the
Marytoner Horses.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
So they had two Mustangs for the first few seasons.
You see her driving this really plain looking white coop
as she's sort of arriving in Minneapolis and driving around
and then part ways to the show. She bought a
new car. I don't know why you would buy a
convertible in Minneapolis, but okay, she bought a blue Mustang
convertible and Ford Motor Company was able to reacquire of
that car and it's in their heritage collection.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Now, oh that's great.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Hey, what is what are the prices doing nowadays on cars?
Are are we? I know during COVID prices went through
the roof. They have they come down?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Well, you know, we had COVID, then we had the
micro chip shortage there, shortage of cars and you see
these dealerships that had these huge banners, we will buy
your car any brand right here. You know, they needed cars.
That's all kind of stabilized. Although we've had a mini
chip shortage the sort of reared its head. It was
a weird mashup of a company from the Netherlands that
was having their chips made in China and then they
were selling them to the different manufacturers and so that's
(04:37):
that was a little ripple. I think they've solved that
and mainly now it's just affordability. You know, the interest
rates have gone up for financing a car, the prices
of cars. You know, people want stuff in their car
and people, why can't I buy a ten thousand dollars
car anymore? Well, you can in some countries, but not
in the United States where they having a safety regulations
and that sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Right, Dave, let me have Dave cons with us. Maybe
see news.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
You know, there's a trend going around people are into
dumb houses where they're taking all the technology out of
the house. I heard that some car companies that are
doing the same thing that we only use about eight
percent of what the car offers technologically.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Well, the big trend right now is people are complaining
about having to do everything with a touch screen, and
manufacturers like Porsche said, we've listened to our customers. When
we come up with new models, we're going to have
buttons and switches each oh good, rather than relying on
a screen to do everything. There's a car it's called
a pole Star and it's kind of a spinoff of Volvo.
(05:35):
It's very complicated. Their Chinese Zone and I drove their
suv a few months back, and you had to do
everything with the touch screen, including adjusting the air conditioning events. Wow,
It's like, can't I just reach out to that little
knob like they've been doing my whole life. I got
to touch that thing on the screen, and so I
think there's some pushback on that. So that's an example
of technology that maybe they went a little too far.
And the feedback is we want buttons. I think Hyundai
(05:57):
and Kia has said we're going to stick with buttons,
and companies like Honda put volume knobs back on the car.
It took away because they wanted you to slide your
finger up the thing. But I want to turn a
knob right.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
And also, you know the computer sometimes either Fritz is
out or doesn't you know, take some time to start up,
and people just want to get, you know, going. But
when it comes to that technology and you you mentioned
the you know the Chinese electric cars. Would if if
the Chinese electric cars were allowed to be sold in America,
would they dominate the space?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Well that's debatable except you have the CEO of Ford
Motor Company, a guy named Jim Farley, who I've known
for years because he used to work at Prayota. He
worked at Prayota and was tasked with launching the Scion brand.
If you remember that sure and his daily driver. You know,
car companies bringing cars that were not allowed to have.
His daily driver is a sleek four door Chinese car.
(06:53):
I think it's called a Jaoming XL seven, And he said,
this thing is amazing and it makes me afraid of
what China can do if if they were allowed to
sort of flood the market. So you know, that's the
guy at the top before company, and he's got a
little fear of kind of now, uh, regulations and tariffs
of course are going are going to play into that,
and that's a big mess that I try to stay
(07:15):
away from. But you know, you have a guy from
an iconic American car company saying I'm a little afraid
of what China's doing, and he drives the Chinese currents
as it's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Hey, what what is the website for the Ford Immersive Experience?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
It's easy. It's Mustang Immersive dot com slash Los.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Angeles, Mustang Immersive dot com slash Los Angeles, Los.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Lost Dash Angelus. I don't know why they did it
that way. It's good.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
So when you said it was easy, you lied. The website.
It's the most complicated website I've ever heard of my life.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Money, aren't you glad? I didn't start with ww yeah,
no kidding.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I usually thought I thought you were good for at
least one or two ww dot three dogs in a
commo session.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Buddy, I appreciate you coming on. Thanks for the information.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Man. Hey, listen, go see this thing. Even if you're
not into cars, you're gonna be blown away by it.
It's really cool.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You got it?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
All right, thanks Bob, all right, there he goes, all right,
Dave koons, that's a cool deal. If you're really into
mustangs or even you know, Dave said, you know, if
you're not in the cars.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Go, So everybody's got to go. I guess it's.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Mustang Immersive dot com slash loss dash angelus. And he said,
right before he gave me that address, Oh, it's easy
at dressing the worm. It's the longest in the history
of the world. That's what it is. That's how he
should have sold it. Hey, here's a real complicated, long
ass address. And I would bet that most people listening
(08:46):
right now would be ukerd in spelling immersive.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
I don't know. Maybe you can knock it out, but
maybe not. I don't know. I M M E R
S I ve E immersive.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Mega Millions is up to eight hundred and forty three
million dollars. It's snuck up on US eight hundred and
forty three million, and that could be yours if you
get these numbers right.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
Wouldn't this be a memorable way to kick off the
holiday season.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
I mean, take a look at this.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Eight hundred and forty three million dollars on the line
for the Mega Millions, and that makes it the eighth
largest jackpot in the game's history. Tonight's drawing, by the way,
is also the longest streak without a winner. So you
know what it's time for. It's time for my favorite
part of the assignment, and that's testing my luck. Danny
here is ready for his close up.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Good morning to you.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Remember guys, it's five dollars, not two dollars. That price
for the ticket for the Mega.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Millions went up earlier this year.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
One ticket for Mega Millions.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Please.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Now, the good news about this formatting change is that
your chances have actually improved to win the jackpot. The
bad news they're still incredibly slim. We're talking one in
two hundred and ninety min. Thank you so much. Danny,
But there are also other prizes, smaller prizes that you
can win. The Mega Million says that since you and
more than eleven million people have one prizes, a vary
(10:10):
in size for the game.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
If you do win, a couple of.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
Things to keep in mind. You want to sign and
secure the back of your ticket. You also want to
arrange a team of professionals ahead of time, especially for talking.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
The big bucks. Wait wait, wait, let me go back
here a second of your ticket.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
You also you sign the back of your ticket, all right,
I get that, So want to arrange.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
A team of professionals ahead of time.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
You want to arrange a set of professionals, a team
of professionals before the drawing. So you're going to call
lawyers before the drawing and get them organized. What you
can pay thousands to lawyers and then maybe probably won't win.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
To want to arrange a team of professionals ahead of.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Time, ahead of what the drawing or oh maybe in
cash and the ticket in.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Especially for talking the big bucks. And then don't rush
into any of the major purchases. Don't be too hasty
with that.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
But that's why you win.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
To run into the hasty purchases. Because you can't run
into hasty purchases when you're broke, and when you win,
you got to buy a house and a cool car,
an expensive watch, and payoff Bomb's house.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
That's what you're supposed to do with the money. That's
why it's yours.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
You also have options, guys. You can always play the
power ball as well. There's nearly half a billion dollars
on the line with that. But I'm starting to wonder
if you have a better chance of winning the lottery
or getting your hands on one of those Barista viral Starbucks.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Cuting probably fifty to fifty on that, all right. Mark Sanchez,
who used to work with Fox, got into a fight
in Indianapolis with a truck driver guy who's picking up oil
from restaurants. Not a great job, not a great job,
and then Mark Sanchez comes up on him. There's an altercation,
(11:56):
there's a stabbing. I think both of the men were stabbed.
And now, wow, he's been shown the door at Fox Sports.
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Fox Sports has cut ties with former USC quarterback Mark
Sanchez well. According to multiple news outlets, Sanchez won't return
as a sports analyst after a violent confrontation last month
led to his arrest on felony charges. He is accused
of beating up a truck driver in Indianapolis during a dispute.
That driver sabs Sanchez in the chest, claiming self defense.
(12:28):
Sanchez is free on bail and he is set to
go on trial next month. Former Saints quarterback Drew Brees
will now replace Sanchez.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Yeah, that's that's a good move because I don't imagine
Drew Brees will be kicking the craft out of truck
drivers in Indianapolis. You know, when you do dismiss a guy,
you want to replace him with a guy who's not
going to do that. You don't want to double up.
You don't want a truck driver fight Ding dong. So
it looks like Drew Brees. Probably Drew Brees is a
(12:59):
terrific guy, probably a great family man. You never hear
about him, you know, with coke and doing blow with hookers.
He's probably a cool replacement. I'm not saying that Mark
Sanchez did that. I'm just saying that out of all
the sports guys, you wouldn't think Drew Brees is, you know,
doing blow off of hooker's back. Is that a thing
I never got into blow? And is that I don't
(13:23):
know if that's a.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Thing or not. You know, doing cocaine off somebody's back.
I don't know. Marv Albert, that guy went for it.
You know, you got to give him that.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Life.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
That's right, all right. Alzheimer's disease, it's not good. And
anytime anyone's gone through it with their mom or dad
or grandma and grandpa, it is really tough, really really tough.
But there is a way that you can slow it down.
So if you're younger and you don't have Alzheimer's, there's
(13:55):
one thing that you can do that all the doctors
agree you can do either be where you get it
in early stages or when you have it. They can
slow it down and we'll come back them and they
tell you what that is. It's very important. So you
got to come back to that. I'll give you a hint.
It's walking, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Can you give it to the hint? I didn't want to.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Let's say somebody's in their car, you know, if their
dad and their dad's got Alzheimer's, and he's like, I.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Don't know if I'm gonna make it through the break. Oh,
you're so considered to tease him like that. No, Dad,
hold on, hold on, we got we got we just
got that.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
We got a cars for kids and an American Vision
windows and a Morongo thing to get through and then Sweet.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
James a little bit of him and then we're in
the travel store. We'll be No, he'll tell you. I'm
sure he'll tell you.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demaya from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Ding Dog with everybody listening. It's Friday. Time to go
home and get your buzz on. But wait to get home.
Cops don't like it when you do it in the car,
and it could kill somebody and hurt somebody and really
f your life up.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Everybody is life up.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So hold on, get home and then you know, do
whatever you want, all right. The number one rated TV
show in America on cable this week is The Story
Is on CNN. It was the number one rated TV
show on cable and the host of it is with us,
Alex Michaelson.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Congratulations, dude, sting down with you.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That's a bit misleading, Okay, all right, Well, if you
want to say it's misleading, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
I was going to stick by it. But if you
want to.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
If you want to destroy my credibility and yours as well,
you can feel free.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
We did win our time slot and in the demo
on election night, I did. I was of coverage and
we were number one.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
That's a big deal. Look, you've been on CNN for
ten minutes and your number.
Speaker 6 (15:50):
One, right.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:52):
I was very proud of that and a testament to
their investment in the West Coast, in our region and
showcasing people around country that people out here matter. And
I think it's really good to be able to highlight
a lot of voices on both sides from our area
and stories that matter to the West Coast.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I mean, we're somebody. We're somebody out here, you know.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we are.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Yeah. It's a great show.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I've discovered your secret though, and I hope you don't
mind me outing you here. But you invite these politicians
in and you're very sweet to them, you're very kind
to them, you look like you're their best friend, and
then you stick them and you make them say something
that's going to go international, and boom, you did it
with Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
We did. I mean that that went That was pretty international, right, But.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I don't blame you for that.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
She just she can't control herself when she talks about Trump.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
I think she wanted to get that message out. I
think she was happy with that message, clearly calling him
for people that didn't see it. She called him a
vile creature and the worst thing on the planet. And
then Donald Trump clearly saw that interview and responded that
she's an evil person and it was good that she
was retiring, so right.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
But I don't know if you're on your way out
of politics or you're on your way out of a job,
I don't know if the proper reaction is to be
really angry. I think that leads people to believe that
you're not going out on your own terms.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Or you have nothing to lose and you just let
it all hang out at that point, depending on I mean, look,
I know I know how you feel and many of
your listeners feel. But there are a lot of people
on the left that feel that way about Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Sure, I get that, and.
Speaker 6 (17:36):
I think she articulated the way I think she actually
feels about him. And we want people to be honest
in politics, and I think she was. I think she
was being honest in that moment, and I think he
was being honest and thinking that she was not a
good person and that he was happy that she was leaving.
But right to say whatever you think.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah, But to say the most vile person in the world,
where there's a world filled with vile people, is a
little over that time.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Yeah, I mean, I mean to suggest that he's worse
than hamas terrorists or rapist or some murderers or all
the rest of it does seem.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
To be a little a little much, That's right, Antonio
viewer gos is nice to see him back in the
national stage running for governor of the state of California.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
I like that guy.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Yeah, And you know, it's it's interesting because right now
that race for governor is wide open. Oh yeah, you know,
which hasn't really been the case the last few times.
I mean, Gavin Newsom was a big front runner, Jerry
Brown was a big front runner. Arnold, you know, obviously
got all this attention and was able to get in there.
But you know, Katie Porter killed technically the front runner.
But we've seen several different polls sort of suggesting that
(18:45):
she's weaker. Because of these videos that came out. Everybody
was assuming that Alex Badia was going to run. The
chatter on Washington was that he was about to make
an announcement that he was going to run. Then in
the middle of the day on election Day, he goes
up to a podium in the mid the Senate and
just says I'm not running, which kind of came out
of nowhere, and he hasn't done any interviews afterwards to
(19:05):
explain what that was really about. And so now this
this race is wide open, and obviously Padilla would have
been a huge threat to Antonio via Goosa kind of
a similar lane that he was going down, and now
Vira Gosa and javieror Bsera are really battling out for
that sort of Latino lane of this race, and who
(19:26):
knows where it goes. But it's also a lot of
strong support in the primary, at least for the two
Republicans that are running, which is Chad Bianco and Steve Hilton.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
You know, if I was.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Running for governor in the state of California, do you
think I would be what should position my set in
the and myself in the Latino lane?
Speaker 6 (19:47):
You don't think they struggle with that, But you know, anyway,
some people, you know, you use.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Number three in the polls right now is Steve and
Jay Klubek. He's come out of nowhere. He's number three
or number four, tied for third.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
He is a fascinating person to talk to, isn't he
He's great.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I mean he comes on with us all the time,
and I think you know him coming on KFI on
this show has vaulted in to the top. And I
would consider myself an accidental kingmaker. Sorry, that's just.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
I think that you are. I think most people turned
to you and show that I used to be John Covelt.
That's about him for years. We're now taken over as
the one driving politics in the state.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Hey, I think it was a cheam uh Jeffries who
had a some kind of press conference and didn't Bernie
Sanders uh sort of just bomb the and grabbed the mic.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
He wasn't supposed to be there.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
I did not see that, if that was a thing.
But an interesting I haven't seen that, my shy buddy.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I don't know how you can see everything though, you know,
there's so many you know, back in back when when
you know we're we're a little different in age, but
I mean back in Paul Tics in the eighties and nineties,
there was one major story a week or one major
story a month.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Now there's ten major stories a day.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
It is so crazy to keep up with. And it
has been a lot, so programming two hours a night
Live is it's really been a lot, but it's been fun.
I mean, you do it, you do more than that,
but it's been an interesting challenge.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
And not only do I do more than that, but
I also do it and I don't complain.
Speaker 6 (21:28):
Mister, Yeah, I'm not complaining.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Learning who's coming up next, who's on the big program?
And by the way, it's nine o'clock every weeknight on CNN,
is that correct?
Speaker 6 (21:45):
Yeah, nine to eleven pm every weeknight on CNN. Tonight,
we're going to be covering what's going on with the
airlines and the delays that are likely coming because of
this shutdown. We've also got breaking news in Portland. They
just judges rule what happened with the National Guard to
be unconstitutional, so we'll be getting into that. We've got
(22:05):
a panel talking We're also talking sports later to rash
Marcazi and Yovann Buja coming in to talk about some
of the sports betting stuff, which has been interesting and
what's going on in that world. So we've got you know,
a lot, a lot coming on tonight at the end
of a of a crazy, crazy week.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, and you've only been on what two weeks?
Speaker 6 (22:25):
This is the end of our second week.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah, second week. And you made national international news with
Nancy Pelosi. That's a big deal. They must be happy
over there.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Yeah, and that our interview with Governor Newsom made a
whole lot of news too when we first launched. So
it's been, it's been, it's been good. And I think
that they're hopefully seeing the value in investing in our region,
which is which is pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Let me ask you and again, Alex Michaelson's willis He's
on CNN every night from nine to eleven PM. And
it's a local show here. It's done in Burbank, and
it's a it's a you know, a great show. It's
not too heavily in politics either. You can watch it
if you're a Trump fan, you can watch it if
you hate Trump, you know, both ways. But who do
you think is the leader right now? Obviously Trump is
(23:08):
the leader of the Republican Party. Who is the current
leader after Tuesday of the Democratic Party?
Speaker 6 (23:16):
I mean, most of the political experts that I talked
to afterwards said that the front runner for the nomination
at least right now is probably Gavin Newsom. I mean,
he has certainly won this year in terms of establishing
himself as sort of the most notable anti Trump governor. Okay,
if you've seen what he's done with this proposition fifty,
(23:39):
he's increased his poll numbers, he's increased his social media followers,
he's increased his donor base and his fundraising numbers. If
you look at most polls of the early primaries, he's
pretty close to the top, if not at the top.
And so he's you know, and a lot of Democrats
are giving him credit for fighting and doing something. I
know that several of your viewers probably are, you know,
(24:01):
want to throw up at the prospect of him becoming president.
But there but you know, in terms of winning over
the Democratic base who are hungry for somebody to fight
Trump and give him a middle finger, he's done that effectively.
Whether that is able to be sustainable? Does that act
get exhausting?
Speaker 3 (24:18):
You know?
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Is there another turn? As things change every day, multiple
times a day, we'll see. But right now I think
he's you know, he's had a really strong week in
terms of establishing himself as a leader in the party.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Okay, here's why I don't think Newsome would be a
horrible president. And and I got two reasons. A. If
he becomes president of the United States, he's going to
bring a lot of money back to California to shore
up our budget fall and that's probably, you know, the
biggest reason to vote for him.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
And B, if he becomes.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
President, let's let the nation all get a taste of
how we've been living for the last eight years.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Let's bring let's bring homelessness.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
That's right, that's right. Yeah, dishonesty, homelessness, corruptions.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Do you think you think your gas prices are low?
We're bringing them up, baby.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yeah, you want to live like us here, jump on
this man.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Your your house is too cheap, will make it more.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
But I really I think if he became president, he
would bring a lot of money back to California.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I do believe that a lot.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
And honestly, that was one of the things that a
lot of ability Kamala Harris, who was the first Democratic nominee.
You know, there never been a Democratic nominee from California
until Kamala Harris and we certainly didn't earn the nomination
in the typical way, let's say, getting there. And so
you know, Newsom would be the first true Democratic nominee
that went through a primary from California. We'll see if
(25:52):
that's held against him, you know, or not. Do people care?
Do people think that somebody from California is intelectable? I
think it's going to be one of his challenges too,
because the rest of the country thinks a lot of
the things that you just said about about our state.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, but I think it's important if he does become
president that at least the Republicans and Democrats realize and
the independence that he would bring an s load of
money back to California and would help all of us out.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
So that's the one silver lining.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
But I appreciate you coming on every every weeknight nine
to eleven PM on CNN.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I'm with you, and congratulations but a huge success over
there in your first couple weeks.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
Thank you, all right, you very much.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Things along with you, all right, Alex Michaelson, CNN tonight
on see It nine to eleven PM.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from kf
I AM six forty Friday and time to get home.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
It was a it seems like a very short week.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I think we're all into the Dodgers, the Dodgers winning,
going to the Dodgers Parade, are all on a high
that they that team actually won that game.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
I still can't believe. And I watched that game almost
every night.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
When I go home and I got it on DVR,
I have a couple of beers, submarine sandwich, you know,
just loading up on cholesterol and alcohol and watch that game.
I still can't believe the Dodgers won. It's unbelievable, unbelievable
that all that came together and the Dodgers won back
to back World series, back to back.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
That's great, all right.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Alzheimer's disease, it is good if you walk. Walking is
one of the ways you can either you know, prolong
it or not prolong it but put it off, or
you might if you'd have it it, It is going
to be less severe if you walk. Walking is the key,
(27:48):
at least right now to Alzheimer's.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
It's getting walking.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
A few thousand steps daily could help slow the cognitive
decline linked to the disease archie.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
But of course the doctor terror Nirula is here with more,
so go.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
Well, if we needed one more study to tell us
to move more, here it is so. This was a
study of about three hundred older Americans fifty to ninety
years old Robin, who had no dementia but did have
evidence of amyloid plaques in the brain.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
That I liked that fifty is old. Older Americans are
fifty now fifty, it is still young.
Speaker 8 (28:18):
Plaques in the brain that early sign of Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers gave them a pedometer, had them walk for about
a week, and then follow them over fourteen years. They
did cognitive testing and pet scans to look at their brain,
and they found that those who walked about three thousand
to five thousand steps a day, again not that much,
about one and a half to two and a half miles.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
There you go, three to five thousand steps ah day.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Three thousand to five thousand steps a day.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
There you go, that's all you need.
Speaker 8 (28:43):
Reduce their cognitive decline by about three years. Wese who
walked five thousand to seven thousand steps slowed their cognitive
decline by about seven years. If you went over seven
thousand steps, it seemed like the benefits kind of plateaued,
which we've seen before with some of those other studies.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Okay, so seven is mad. Once you had seven thousand steps,
call an uber and get home.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
They also looked at that plaque in the brain and
a different kind of plaque one called TAO, which forms
tangles that we think is really part of the pathologic
process of Alzheimer's, and those who really moved moderately, who
had larger evidence of amyloid, they actually reduced the progression
or development of that TOWE protein in the brain. On
the other hand, those who were sedentary over time had more.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Towel in the brain. Oh all right, you got to
get off your ass. Okay, this is it. This is
a wrap.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
It's not hard to do. You don't have to bench,
you don't have to run a marathon every day. You
just have to walk three to seven thousand steps a day.
So get your flashlight if you're walking at night, and
put something bright on so cars can see you. Don't
walk around with black shoes, black pants, black hat, black
shirt or black jacket and nope, flashlight, I can't see you.
(29:51):
I can't see you at night. Almost killed a guy
in Burbank about three months ago. I didn't see him.
I didn't see him. He was wearing black everything.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I'm black. I'm black. I'm black. I couldn't see him.
So get a flashlight or get a reflector, vest something
so I can see you. I can't see you.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
How might exercise impact this, Well, we think that increases
cerebral blood floor blood float to the brain, it helps
clear out toxins, and it may have anti inflammatory effects. Now,
this was a small study, definitely needs to be replicated
in a large and more diverse population, but once again
evidence that says just a small, moderate amount of walking
could be really, really better. In the study, three hundred people.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Yeah, so let's get back to the basics.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
How do people get started?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
You put your shoes on, you put your pants on,
you put your shirt, maybe a jacket, and then you
leave the house. Put one foot in front of the other,
and soon you'll be walking across the Put one food
in front of the other. Oh no, no, put one
(30:55):
foot in front of the other. Soon you'll be walking
across the floor. Put one foot in front of the other,
and you'd be walking out the door.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah I think so. Yeah, that's a great song. Yeah, man,
great song. And start walking well, George.
Speaker 8 (31:06):
Again, it comes down to really making a mindful, intentional
effort to increase your movement every single day, right, So
you want to build it into your daily routine. So
everyone who's watching TV now you can stand up and
start walking in place. Take a walk to the grocery store,
get up on your lunch break during your office hours
and take a walk. We just got a dog, Harley.
She's definitely making all of us walk a lot more. George.
(31:26):
You could take up dancing.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
I bet he already does, don't you think? I bet
he does the Katillion class or square dancing something billion.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
All right, we got to take a break.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
We're live on KFI AM six forty Conway Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you can always hear
us live on KFI AM six forty four to seven
pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on the
