The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (7.15)
Eric Deutsch of SmartFocus.ai joins Timmy to break down the latest on daylight saving time — he ran an AI-powered focus group on the measure Congress is considering to potentially get rid of it altogether.
You’ve probably seen the wild viral video of the bearded grandpa in Yellowstone who lured a bison away from his grandson and got thrown eight feet in the air — 65-year-old Carl McDaniel is now sharing details after breaking his femur in four places. Savannah Guthrie had quite the year: Throat surgery, her mom Nancy was kidnapped (and we still don’t know the full story), and fun fact — she met her first husband at the Michael Jackson trial!
Chipotle is boldly opening its first location in Mexico (in Monterrey), even though Taco Bell and Domino’s both famously failed and pulled out of the country. Monterrey might not be the usual Cabo or Puerto Vallarta tourist spot, but it’s worth a look. There’s a new blood test that can predict your likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s, and over 11,000 Californians must retake their DMV driving tests due to a major glitch.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. You know, you
may have remembered today that we promoted daylight saving time,
not saving time, daylight saving time, and Congress just approved
(00:22):
it or passed it, and they want to make get
rid of it. So daylight saving time might be permanent.
And I don't know what that. I don't know how
that affects us all. Is it going to be dark
in the winter until eight thirty in the morning, will
be light in the summer until ten o'clock at night?
(00:45):
I don't know. So we have to call on an expert,
and we got one by a guy named Eric Deutsch,
and he's with us. Eric, how you bub hey?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Tim ding Dawn.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Ding dong with you?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
What do you?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Eric?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
What do you do for a living?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I work in public relations, Tim okay and more recently though,
started this new venture with a partner to create AI
powered focus groups.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Oh that's interesting, okay, And maybe it's sort of like
a ted talk for really smart people.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Well, I don't know about that for AI AI generated.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
And okay, AI generated people, which I consider smart people.
All right, And so you guys literally took this up
and talked about the ins and outs, the ups and downs,
the positive and negatives about this act of Congress.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Well you know what happened to him. I was in
my car last night, just like I am now, and
of course I was listening to you, and I heard
you tease the discussion that you were going to have
tonight daylight savings time, and it made me curious about
how Californians might feel about that. So as soon as
I got home, I ran a focus group. They talk
(02:00):
to me about twenty minutes and I used a cross
section of personas representing different you know, types of Californians,
and came up with some kind of interesting results.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
That is great.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
So if that does happen, when will we stop changing
the clocks? Will it be in October? Will it be
in two years, five years?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Well? You know what was really interesting, Tim is you know,
most people would think intuitively that we want more daylight
at the end of the day. Everybody loves daylight saving time.
But actually seven of eight of our virtual Californians actually
indicated that they want to stop changing the clocks, but
they actually want to do it the other way around.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And keep standard time going all year long, mainly because
of concern about kids getting up in the winter time
and having to go to school in the dark.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Okay, to that, I say, f the kids. You know,
why do we have to do everything for them? I mean,
our parents did nothing, holl do.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You you know I'm a little bit younger than you.
I'm in my fifties and I grew up in the valley.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Okay, so you're you're in our group where your parents
did nothing for you.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
They let me do a lot of things that would
probably be illegal today. Right.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
You got on your own, you got on your bike.
You you played with your friends all day. You had
to run your bike around to find out where all
your friends were. And your parents probably came to maybe
a baseball or football game, but not like the parents
of today, where you get in the van and you
drive to South Carolina because your kids in a volleyball
tournament somewhere.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Nothing like that. I was in the back of a
pickup truck.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You know I remember those what were were they called
the supero Brats. Do you remember those those pickup trucks?
I do, Okay, So I was in one of those
supero brats, and they had two seats in the in
the back of the truck, you know, in the back
of the pickup, and both those seats were looking the
opposite way of the seats inside the cab. And I
(03:59):
remember driving to Vegas and having to look casual the
whole way there when other drivers passed me by, and
I was not casual.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Three hundred miles in the back of a truck.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Right, I was scared to death that I was gonna
truck was gonna flip, and I was gonna die. All right,
So all right, So what were some of the conclusions,
What did people like and dislike? And what does AI
have to say about it?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Well, okay, here's a real interesting thing. You know. You know,
a traditional focus group, which is really terrific, where you
get a bunch of humans together, it takes like six
weeks to put that in motion. I was able to
do this in about twenty minutes, and we put together
eight different representative California, so a school mom, a night
shift nurse, retiree, a bartender, you know, a college student,
(04:49):
and we asked them what they think of this legislation,
and you know, how do they feel about it? Would
they support it if it happens here in California. And
like I said, seven of eight of those respond and
said that they would prefer to have standard time all
year long. Really in kind of a selfless way. A
lot of them said that they would love to have
more daylight at the end of the day in the
(05:11):
winter time, but they were really concerned about people getting
up early, having to go to school in the dark
and go to work in the dark. So that was
where the support came down. And it was kind of
a surprising result.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Right, I do get that, But you know what I've
I've known a lot of mourning birds, and I've known
a lot of night owls, and I have to say
that the night owls have made me laugh a billion
times more than the morning birds.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Even the bartender that you would prefer to have standard
daylight time.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Okay, So did you do any research on when this
will all happen or not happen, or when will we
when will we stop changing clocks?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Well, you know, the focus group really didn't test that.
Did you test for the legislation?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
It was get that.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
How do representative Californians steal about it?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I find that really unusual that, you know. Okay, maybe
for California that's you know, that's one thing. But I
tell you, in New York, Minnesota, Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis, it's
got to be the exact opposite. You know, people are
you know, they want more daylight at the end of
the day.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I know, I sure do. I tell you, I'm apparently
I'm not a representative California.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
No, You're a night out, You're a night guy. You
listen to the show, you're up at night. You know,
I don't. I I have friends who are morning birds,
and I wish I could be like them. I wish
I could get up in the morning at five o'clock
and you know, and work out and start my day.
I just can't. I've tried, and it's just not me.
But I remember having to catch a flight to New York.
(06:48):
It was a six am flight out of Lax to
New York, and so I had to get up at
you know, three thirty, get on the road by four,
get there by five, get on the plane at six
or six thirty. It was the first flight out. And
I remember being on the flight and I was sitting
next to a guy, and the guy was one of
these morning guys. He's been up for a long time.
He's got the paper, he's got his orange juice, he's talkative,
(07:11):
he's you know, he's freshly shaved, and he's up.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
He's up.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
And he says to the flight attendant, Hey, can I
get a pillow or a blanket? And she says, how
about both? And they both laughed, And I thought, where
the Christ is the humor there? I missed the punchline,
the setup, the irony, the exaggeration. I missed all the
elements of a joke. And I couldn't understand what these
two people were laughing at.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That was a lot of work for very little payoffs.
You know, it's funny. I'm like you, I'm up all night.
You know. I'll email my business partner at three am
and he texted me at six am.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, I'm the same way.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I've stopped doing recently, and I stopped like last night,
I was going to text the buddy at around two
o'clock in the morning, and I stopped. And I didn't
because it wasn't that important and I didn't want to
wake him up. But I could text people all night long.
And I love when I get a like a two
am text because that's we're off to the races. We're
going to be twenty minutes of texting back and forth
(08:10):
with anybody, you know, whoever it is, you know, all
the stupid buddies of mine.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
But I do like being up late at night.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I watch, you know, the late news, the eleven o'clock
news on two, four, five, seven nine, and then I
like watching you know, sporting events that I missed during
the evening because we're doing this show. But that is
interesting that that most people want that daylight, at least
in California in the morning.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
That's odd.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, it is. And you know what I love to
do it in the evening, tim is I love to
run focus groups and invite all of your listeners.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Okay, to go to can I give a short Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Our new venture we're based here in Los Angeles. It's
called Smartfocus dot AI. That's the website, and we have
this very intuitive platform that enables anyone to run a
focus group.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh wow, okay, smart Focus dot A. I right, Okay,
that's great and and so and anybody can join. It
doesn't cost anything, you.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Know, it Actually it does cost something, ok. But it
is remarkably remarkably affordable. And you know what for your show.
Anytime you guys want to run a focus group, you
let me know.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
And then what is that entailed? Did we give you
the idea and you put everything together?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
You tell me any idea that you want to test,
whether it's a marketing campaign or a guest idea for
the show, and I can put together a representative panel
of your listeners and tell you how those people are
likely to think about it.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Wow, Okay, do me a favor. Can can we get
the first one for free?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
You got it?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Ask them what they think about bringing back? What the
hell did Jesse Jackson say?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I've been listening to your show since the Steckler days. Okay,
and so you know that was That was a very
memorable segment that you have.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
It was a lot of fun. And I'm really bummed
we stop doing it because everybody still always asked about it.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
They always always ask.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Buddy, this sounds great. Who do you represent in the
in the PR business? Anybody?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Any athletes or actors, actresses?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
You know, I do a lot of work in entertainment,
but not with talent. I always say, if you have talent,
I don't want to work with you, but I have
a bunch of clients in medicine and entertainment. I represent
the Better Business Bureau. Oh good, okay, and yeah, I've
been doing it for a long time.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Then you're very successful because the BBB I does a
deep dive on everybody they hire.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
I know that for sure.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Well, I did have to become accredited to work for.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
That's that's how they got you. That's great, all right, Eric,
I'm glad you called.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
We will have some focus groups in the in the future.
Anytime we want to run something up, we'll definitely do it.
Go to smart Focus dot A.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Tip, all right, you're the best.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Thanks for photo.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Man.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Hey d dig dong with you? All right, that's great man.
That guy is. That guy's awesome. You know, he called
up and volunteered himself for you know, to come on
and talk about it.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
So that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Anyway, smart Focus dot AI Smart Focus dot AI.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I don't know what it costs.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
You know, he didn't give the price, so imagine it's
up there, right, you know, let's look it up. I'm
gonna look it up right now. Smart Focus dot A I.
I don't see what this costs. Smart focus dot AAI
powered focus groups for instant insights and smarter discussions, and
(11:46):
then there's some kind of fox running across the computer screen.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
How it works.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Describe your idea, build your focus group, watch the insight unfold,
get actionable insights, and keep the conversation going. Oh okay,
ten thousand dollars, I just get a turn. No, it's
not ten grand. I don't know what it costs, but
it's it's not ten grand. Oh, here's pricing. That's okay,
(12:16):
all right, that's not bad. One hundred and twenty five
dollars a month. All right, that's pretty good. Right, Yeah,
that's I'm not wiping people out. And there's three different
era levels core, Growth and pro pro is three seventy
five a month. And let's see what's included here. Let's
go with the core. So you get one AI focus group,
(12:37):
focus group history, seven max AI persona percession, and then
it goes on and on live insights and trail. Okay,
that's pretty good. You know, if you want to, if
you have an idea and you know you don't want
to do it yourself one time, use a single project
instant insight. They call it one time payment in ninety
(12:58):
nine dollars, which is a great idea, you know, great price.
You have an idea and you want to do a
deep dive on it.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Go to this dude.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
You know, he sounds like an outstanding guy. Smartfocus dot ai.
Maybe your business can take off or you need some help.
You're you're toying with an idea. You don't know if
it's going to work or not. This let this guy
do the research for you, so you have to do it.
Smart focus dot ai. Think going with that guy.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
You may have seen.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
The video of the grandfather at Yellowstone Park who was
taking a photograph and he thought it was a safe
distance from one of those buffaloes or bison, i should say,
and then he gets chased around and gets launched in
(13:52):
the air. It must have been ten feet in the air.
He does the splits, comes down, breaks his hip, and
he's in the hospital.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
And he was doing it all right. He was doing
it right.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
You know, the park rangers tell you to stay at
least twenty five yards away from wild animals, and he
was more like one hundred yards away, and yet it
chased him and tracked him down and followed him and
gored him and with his horns and flipped him in
the air. Could have killed him. And now he's speaking out.
(14:24):
Let's find out. I think he's a grandfather. Let's find
out what's going on with this dude and how much
pain that he's in.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Yeah, buy that.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
For the first time, overnight, Karl McDaniel is opening up
about his now viral face to face encounter with a
raging bison last Friday at Montana's Yellowstone National Park. The
sixty five year old grandfather now recovering from a broken femur.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
No, a broken femur. Wow, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
They say that the broken femur is the most painful
bone to break in your body. There's a a special
wing at the emergency room for those folks. It is excruciating,
unbelievable pain. And this guy's sixty five. You know that
could be a wrap at sixty five when you break
(15:14):
your femur.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
After the massive animal chased him around a camp before
tossing him high into the air, McDaniel telling CNN, we
were about one hundred yards away and the bison was
not aggressive, so they snapped a few photos and continued walking.
Photographer micro Cloud filmed the wild encounters.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
They were doing everything right and they were respectful, and
once the bison showed any agitation, they left and.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
They started running around in and out of the trees.
And they should have played the Benny Hill theme song.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
That would have been.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Great, because that would have been perfect in running in
and out of the trees with his grandson, lean and lady, and.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
They were just at the wrong time, in the wrong place.
Speaker 7 (15:54):
McDaniel says around that time, a truck drove by and
the driver honked his horn and what he believes was
an apparent attempt to get the bison to move, and
it worked. The sound agitated the bison and it began
running toward them, McDaniel telling CNN there was not a
lot of time, so I told my grandson to run
in one direction and I went the other to try
(16:15):
and draw him away, and he did. After chasing the
pair around a wooded area, the hulking animal eventually caught
up to McDaniel and sent him flying.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, but he chased him for a little while. They
should have shipping the music Ron and Grandpa Ron beyond
the train.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
By the head.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
That's where the bison gets him, and he's up in
the doing the splits in midair. Butts boots Randolph? Is
that right?
Speaker 9 (17:07):
Was Randolf?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Jackety Sacks? Jackety Sacks? Oh what a song?
Speaker 7 (17:12):
McDaniel says. He was on the ground and unable to
move when something remarkable happened. He was right on top
of me. He could have stomped on me, he could
have gored me. He could have done almost anything to
take my life, and he did not do so. That's
when the photographer says he immediately stopped filming and ran
to help, yelling at the bison along with other good
(17:32):
Samaritans to scare it off.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
I could see that bison was standing over him and
pumping his head, very aggressive and agitated, and I knew
that somebody had to distract that thing.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
McDaniel, who had surgery on Sunday, says he's grateful for
all the people who helped and thankful it was not
much worse.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah, he could have definitely died, that dude.
Speaker 10 (17:54):
I mean, what a story. And so what does his
recovery look like now? Camila, Yes, Sarana, So.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Carls that's always so tough to hear Savannah's voice, you know,
because whatever that guy went through at the broken Femur,
she's like, hold my.
Speaker 9 (18:08):
Beer and that stuff for her to do any news
story because of that, because that's all it's anybody's head, right,
They're not thinking about anything she's talking about in that moment.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
All they're thinking about is this poor woman whose mother
is still missing.
Speaker 10 (18:24):
I mean, what a story? And so what does his
recovery look for?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
What a story? How about your story? And nothing? Trump's
the story that she had to suffer through on international
TV every day looking for your mom. It's the worst.
Speaker 10 (18:40):
I mean, what a story? And so what does his
recovery look like? Now, Kavila, how.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
About your recovery?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
You know?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I mean this is this woman has has got to
have had the worst thing that's happened to anybody. You know,
it's almost worse than death that you can't find your mom.
Because now when you're walking around or you're in the
mall and you see somebody that looks like your mom,
you stop and you want to look at the face
and have her turn around to see if it's your mom.
(19:07):
It's got a torture, Yes, Sarana.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
So Carl McDaniel told CNN that he broke his femur
in four places near his hip. He says he'll be
doing physical therapy for the next few days to start walking,
but he was thankfully able to stand yesterday.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, and then Savannah should go Yeah, that's fine, but
let me tell you what happened to me. And then
everyone's like, oh, no, man, here we go. But that's
got to be the worst, absolutely worst.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
That woman is suffering more than I imagine almost anybody,
you know, the missing mom. And again, I hate to
say this, but she would have she would be much
better off if they found that mom, even if she
wasn't alive.
Speaker 9 (19:50):
And the fact that she can do what she's doing
now is a pretty amazing thing.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
It's remarkable.
Speaker 9 (19:55):
I you know, I took a month off and for
just because I needed to take a month off, and
I my wife keeps telling me she sees stuff online
from people during that time just called oh he's not
he's fine, or even like you know whatever, and I'm
just like, man, it's it's.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Being a professional. Yeah, absolutely so.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
Anybody that can do that with her doing that, that's
a that's an amazing thing.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
That is a big deal.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
I mean we we all, you know, we all put
it off, but we all could use a month off
and yeah, do a little soul searching, but we don't.
Speaker 9 (20:27):
That's one of the things that people also don't think
too much about when they're hearing people on the air
that are representing themselves or it's you don't know what
they're going yea. And some people have a hard time
distancing or separating.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
That, yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
And and you know, and you don't want to ask
for help or take that time off because you know
sometimes you know, people judge you for that, and then
you have to weigh that against how much it'll help.
And you know, if you take the time off, well
they find somebody replaced me.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I mean you go through all those.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
You know what a couple months that she was off something. Yeah,
she was always like three months and then back. But
you can still hear their voice, oh yeah, especially like
you said, it's unresolved. It's just still sitting there. But
when she asked this initial or initial comment here, you
can still hear it in her voice that she's suffering.
Speaker 10 (21:19):
I mean, what a story. And so what does his
recovery look like now kvila.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Yeah, just not the same.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
She her voice is just sad. You could just hear it,
even if she's smiling. It's just not the same.
Speaker 9 (21:31):
And you wonder, like the producers and stuff, when they
assign who's gonna which of the hosts is going to
deal with each story, how much of a discussion that is,
and whether or not she's told them nope, give me
what you got, don't don't make any differences.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah, maybe, but I think if I was the producer,
I would always give her the downer stories always.
Speaker 10 (21:49):
Yeah, she does this, I'm more convincing.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, she really puts it in leap frogs all over all,
these guys broken femur.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Yeah, how about me? Christ can't beat that.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty Ada.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
How did you pick that song? Why do you play
that song?
Speaker 11 (22:13):
It's just you know, top of mind, Okay, loaded it
up because that song Michael Jackson, right, of course, And
that's where Savannah Guthrie met her first husband on the
at the Michael Jackson trial.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Oh really yeah, yeah, there was a strange place to
meet your husband. Yeah, odd odd, but it's romantic. Guess,
give me it anywhere, what the hell? But sure, I
don't know which trial that was of Michael Jackson where
they met. I think it was the first one, and
that's where she met her first husband. Then they got divorced.
She met the second husband and had two kids. And
(22:48):
I think she has a ten year old and a
twelve year old Savannah Guthrie does. And man, did she
protect those kids because remember those kids' grandmother is missing
in Nancy Guthrie. That's the grandmother of her two kids.
And I know one of.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Her kids, one of her kids named Charles. I don't know,
I know this much about this woman, but I do,
and that Charles is named after the first her first
I think her dad, Yeah, I think I think Savannah
Guthrie's dad was Charlie or Charles, and he died in
Mexico in a mining accident in then I think in
(23:27):
like an eighty eight, eighty nine somewhere around there. And
so I named she named one of her kids after
her dad. But she really protected those two kids. I
never heard anything about her kids during that whole you know,
chase and exploration and search for the mom. Never heard
anything about the kids. So she really is a great
(23:48):
mom protecting those those two little ones. But what a
year Savannah Guthrie had. She went into surgery, she had
surgery on her throat to remove some polyps in January,
and then in February her mom gets kidnapped. So this
is like the worst year in this woman's life. And
yet she made it back to TV and is working
(24:09):
every morning, so that's great.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Good for her.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Maybe he keeps her busy, keeps your mind off it,
that's possible.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
All right.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Chipotle or Chipolt, as Manuscalco calls it, chipult is moving,
not all of them, but they're opening up a new
restaurant in Mexico. So let's find out how the Mexicans
are gonna think about Chipotle. Are they gonna like it
(24:38):
or not? They like I know they they like McDonald's
down there. I don't think they're a fan of Taco
Bell by Chipotle, let's find out they're moving to Mexico.
They're opening in Mexico another restaurant.
Speaker 12 (24:51):
Chipotle is that to open its first restaurant in a
rather unusual spot this week Mexico. As you can imagine,
it's getting a lot of attention on social media. Yeah,
the Fast Casual chain will open its first Mexican location
in the Monterey metropolitan area on Thursday. It's part of
a larger rollout of restaurants.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Oh wait, wait, wait, wait wait, let me pack this
up social media.
Speaker 12 (25:11):
The Fast Casual chain will open its first Mexican location
in the Monterey metropolitan area on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Okay, okay, that's not really. That's a tourist place. That's
where Americans go to as tourists to Mexico. This is
not opening one in real Mexico. This is where you know,
dopey Americans go, and so that's why they're opening it.
Speaker 12 (25:35):
In this area in the Manterey.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah, Monterey is you know, it's just like Palm Springs or.
Speaker 12 (25:42):
Miami in the Monterey metropolitan area on Thursday. It's part
of a larger rollout of restaurants in the country, which
includes an expansion into Mexico City next year.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Okay, then now we're getting closer.
Speaker 12 (25:54):
One person on x commented Bold move selling Mexico a
corporate version of Mexico. It's not the first time US
fast food chains have tried their hands overseas. Taco Bell
opened then closed in Mexico while Domino shuttered all locations.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Oh no, they said no to Taco Bell. Yeah, well
I get it, I get it. You know, that's not
Mexican food to Mexicans. That's the that's the crap we
started here. I totally get them saying no mos.
Speaker 12 (26:23):
Taco Bell opened then closed in Mexico while Domino shuttered
all locations.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah, and I'm not surprised in Italy. Oh oh, I
see do they have the nerve to open Dominoes in Italy?
How big are those Domino executives balls that you're gonna
stick at Dominoes in Italy?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Wonder what happened? Wonder why didn't didn't work?
Speaker 12 (26:48):
Closed in Mexico while Domino shuttered all locations in Italy.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
We are unbelievable as a country, right that we thought
we could just, you know, take Dominoes to Italy and
it'll be hugely popular. No, no, they rejected it. You
know what another country rejected. We tried to open up
what I'm saying we I'm saying the United States. We
tried to open up and dominate the Canadian market with Target,
(27:18):
and they opened up like fifteen twenty stores, brought up
a bunch of employees spent hundreds of millions of dollars,
and Canada said no thanks, and they shut all of
them down. I think every single one of them closed
because they have their own you know, they have their
own version of that up there. And I think it's
(27:40):
named after a tire company. I think it's uh. I
can't remember the name of the tire company, but there's
a company up in Canada that sells tires and that
sort of target like store is named after that tire
and that tire store and they and they do the
same thing. But the Canadians just said no, you know,
(28:03):
we're not that interested in Target. And it cost them
a lot. It almost cost them the company. You know,
they came very close to losing the company over that
bad choice. So we'll see, We'll see how Chipotle opens
up in Mexico. Now they have a shot here because
Monterey and that's mostly Americans and Europeans and Canadians that
(28:24):
are going there. But you know, they didn't open it
up in the real sticks in Mexico because they knew
it would probably be met with no moss scigns no more.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
You know, when we think of Mexico for tourism, you know,
we think of Cabo, San Lucas, Porta Vireta, if you
go for a day trip down to a Tijuana and
if you're on but those are west coast city. You know,
if you live in California, Oregon, Arizona, Nevada, Washington and
(29:05):
you go to Mexico, those are the place you go to.
But if you go to eastern Mexico, man, there's some
beautiful places there, especially Monterey.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
I don't know where. I don't know where Monterey City is.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I don't know if that's east, east coast or west
coast of Mexico. But that is spectacular. I don't mighty.
The canal's there and the old you know, ancient buildings,
the old churches, and the mountains that surround it. That's
a beautiful joint. That's a great hang Monterey, Mexico and
(29:41):
slide down there and retire. That sounds like a decent idea.
You know, money goes much further and just beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
all right, let's talk about these side. I know it's
sort of a downer but everybody wants to know, you know,
what their future is going to be like and how
they're going to leave the planet. There's a blood test
(30:02):
out there for Alzheimer's or old timers, as my grandmother
used to call it. Let's find out a little more
about it. Maybe you want to get tested, or test
mom or dad, or grandma or grandpa.
Speaker 13 (30:12):
A new blood test may help determine if you're likely
to develop Alzheimer's disease. It's too soon to say for certain,
but researchers say the blood test may be able to
strongly predict the build up of certain plaques in the brain.
The new data shows healthy adults with increased levels of
a specific biomarker appeared to have a thirty eight percent
(30:33):
higher chance of early signs of dementia previous tests.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Wy did you hear that? I know sometimes you listen
half ass. I get that. I do the same thing
you know you want it.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
You don't have the reverse button the backup butt like
we do on TV, which is a shame in radio.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
We should have that.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Like when you watch TV on a DVR, you can
pause it and back up twenty seconds to look at
something again.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Why don't we have that on all radios. Should have it.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
You know, it's obviously that technology is there. We should
have that where people can stop. You know, they didn't
they heard something sort of half assed. They want to
go out and listen to it again. You know, you
know who that that lands on me. I've got to
do that.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
I've got to back up the show and give you
important information and sometimes I don't always catch it. So
that technology absolutely exists and it should.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Be on all radios.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
We can back it up a little, but now for
the meantime, I've got to do it. But this is
a very important part of thish of this story.
Speaker 13 (31:32):
The new data shows healthy adults with increased levels of
a specific bio marker appeared to have a thirty eight
percent higher chance of early signs of dimension.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Okay, thirty eight percent in the medical world is enormous.
A thirty eight percent higher chance of you getting Alzheimer's
is is giant, and you'll you probably will want to
know that or should know it.
Speaker 13 (31:56):
Previous testing includes invasive and expensive procedure, including spinal taps.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Oh okay, all right, the DMV you might have to
take your test over. Yep, there's been some problems with
eleven thousand tests that were that were taking.
Speaker 14 (32:15):
The dmvw details about some eleven thousand California drivers who
must retake their written drivers.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Exams or risk losing their license.
Speaker 14 (32:24):
The DMV now says those people are suspected of cheating.
DMV sent letters to those people saying they found testing
anomalies during a review of recent written exams. There was
speculation online that the DMV's flagging of certain tests was
connected to the use of new AI tools.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Wow, a technical error.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
How about that cheating on the DMV written test and
they caught you.
Speaker 14 (32:51):
But in a statement, the DMV refuted those claims, saying
some individuals may have used various cheating methods. If drivers
take the retest and fail, their licenses may be revoked immediately.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
That's horrible, all right, Well, if you cheated, they might
be calling you or emailing you and you have to
slide down there for another test.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
That's crazy, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Adult children, guess what they're doing. They're moving home again. Yep,
they're moving back in with mom and dad.
Speaker 12 (33:24):
After going through a breakup and what she called a
quarter life crisis, Samantha Stobo was ready to leave New
York City and figure out her next step.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
My mom actually pitched the idea. She had recently moved
to my aunt. By the way, when I was growing
up and when Krozer was growing up, we couldn't get
away with that term. This is my quarter life drama,
my quarter life you know down what was the term.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
She used to break up and what she called a
quarter life crisis.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Okay, I could not say that to my mom or
dad whatever. I'm going through my quarter life crisis at
twenty twenty five. My dad would be like, you got
to straighten shut up. Yeah right, yeah, just get over it. Yeah,
twenty five, twenty five, Yeah, that usually is because of
a breakup, you know with a guy or a gal,
(34:16):
or a.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Guy and a guy, or a gall and a gal
or the guy.
Speaker 9 (34:19):
Agreed that the early twenties to mid twenties are are
some of the most trepidacious of anybody's lives because you're
learning how to be an adults from one that's shut up.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
It's just transitioning, you know, into adulthood. And they say
by age twenty eight is when you should leave trouble alone,
you know, like when you're twenty one and a guy
calls you up at ten o'clock at night and goes, whoo,
we're going road trip Vegas. You're like, oh, pick me up,
let's go. But at twenty eight you got to tell
him have a good time. About twenty eight is where
(34:52):
you got to settle down and you got to start,
you know, thinking.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
About your the rest of your life.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
You can't just pack up at midnight and drive to
Vegas with your stupid friends. But before twenty eight, that's
a great that is a great move. I remember, remember
the regular guys in KAlSi. Yeah, I was very good
friends and still am with Larry Wax, great guy. And
he called me up one night at seven o'clock on
(35:19):
a set on a Saturday, and he goes, buddy, let's
go to Vegas. And I always said yes to those,
so said, yeah, pick me up. A half hour ago,
I had nothing to do. So we drive to Vegas
and we were just going to get a hotel room
when we got there. You know, there's a million hotel
rooms we'll get when we get there. There was some
big ass or two or three big ass conventions in
(35:41):
town and we couldn't find a room. We went from
one hotel to another to another, and this now it's
like one o'clock in the morning, two o'clock in the morning,
and there was nothing. Even the crappy hotels that are
off the strip were unavailable. They were all taken, All
the rooms were spoken for. So we at three o'clock
we were gonna He said, let's just sleep in the car.
So we fall asleep in the car and the cop
(36:03):
comes up and knocks on the window. Is hey, buddy,
you can't sleep here, move on, Move on. And then
we went to another like parking lot. There was a
security guard there and he wouldn't let us sleep. So
we drove home and got home at around around eight
thirty in the morning.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Yeah, but what a trip.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
That was brutal when the sun came up, you know,
when you're driving home after being on the road for
you know, twelve hours by that's something that we did.
I probably did that a little after twenty eight, or
maybe around twenty eight, but they say that's the cutoff
age twenty eight is when you get to stop being
an idiot in life.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
This is KFI.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
This has been the Conway Show on demand on the
iHeartRadio app Dere's Live Join us on KFI AM six
forty weeknight six to ten pm Monday through Friday.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Dinged along with this app
It's KFI Am sixty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. You know, you
may have remembered today that we promoted daylight saving time,
not saving time, daylight saving time, and Congress just approved
(00:22):
it or passed it, and they want to make get
rid of it. So daylight saving time might be permanent.
And I don't know what that. I don't know how
that affects us all. Is it going to be dark
in the winter until eight thirty in the morning, will
be light in the summer until ten o'clock at night?
(00:45):
I don't know. So we have to call on an expert,
and we got one by a guy named Eric Deutsch,
and he's with us. Eric, how you bub hey?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Tim ding Dawn.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Ding dong with you?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
What do you?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Eric?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
What do you do for a living?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I work in public relations, Tim okay and more recently though,
started this new venture with a partner to create AI
powered focus groups.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Oh that's interesting, okay, And maybe it's sort of like
a ted talk for really smart people.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Well, I don't know about that for AI AI generated.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
And okay, AI generated people, which I consider smart people.
All right, And so you guys literally took this up
and talked about the ins and outs, the ups and downs,
the positive and negatives about this act of Congress.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Well you know what happened to him. I was in
my car last night, just like I am now, and
of course I was listening to you, and I heard
you tease the discussion that you were going to have
tonight daylight savings time, and it made me curious about
how Californians might feel about that. So as soon as
I got home, I ran a focus group. They talk
(02:00):
to me about twenty minutes and I used a cross
section of personas representing different you know, types of Californians,
and came up with some kind of interesting results.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
That is great.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
So if that does happen, when will we stop changing
the clocks? Will it be in October? Will it be
in two years, five years?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Well? You know what was really interesting, Tim is you know,
most people would think intuitively that we want more daylight
at the end of the day. Everybody loves daylight saving time.
But actually seven of eight of our virtual Californians actually
indicated that they want to stop changing the clocks, but
they actually want to do it the other way around.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And keep standard time going all year long, mainly because
of concern about kids getting up in the winter time
and having to go to school in the dark.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Okay, to that, I say, f the kids. You know,
why do we have to do everything for them? I mean,
our parents did nothing, holl do.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You you know I'm a little bit younger than you.
I'm in my fifties and I grew up in the valley.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Okay, so you're you're in our group where your parents
did nothing for you.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
They let me do a lot of things that would
probably be illegal today. Right.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
You got on your own, you got on your bike.
You you played with your friends all day. You had
to run your bike around to find out where all
your friends were. And your parents probably came to maybe
a baseball or football game, but not like the parents
of today, where you get in the van and you
drive to South Carolina because your kids in a volleyball
tournament somewhere.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Nothing like that. I was in the back of a
pickup truck.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You know I remember those what were were they called
the supero Brats. Do you remember those those pickup trucks?
I do, Okay, So I was in one of those
supero brats, and they had two seats in the in
the back of the truck, you know, in the back
of the pickup, and both those seats were looking the
opposite way of the seats inside the cab. And I
(03:59):
remember driving to Vegas and having to look casual the
whole way there when other drivers passed me by, and
I was not casual.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Three hundred miles in the back of a truck.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Right, I was scared to death that I was gonna
truck was gonna flip, and I was gonna die. All right,
So all right, So what were some of the conclusions,
What did people like and dislike? And what does AI
have to say about it?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Well, okay, here's a real interesting thing. You know. You know,
a traditional focus group, which is really terrific, where you
get a bunch of humans together, it takes like six
weeks to put that in motion. I was able to
do this in about twenty minutes, and we put together
eight different representative California, so a school mom, a night
shift nurse, retiree, a bartender, you know, a college student,
(04:49):
and we asked them what they think of this legislation,
and you know, how do they feel about it? Would
they support it if it happens here in California. And
like I said, seven of eight of those respond and
said that they would prefer to have standard time all
year long. Really in kind of a selfless way. A
lot of them said that they would love to have
more daylight at the end of the day in the
(05:11):
winter time, but they were really concerned about people getting
up early, having to go to school in the dark
and go to work in the dark. So that was
where the support came down. And it was kind of
a surprising result.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Right, I do get that, But you know what I've
I've known a lot of mourning birds, and I've known
a lot of night owls, and I have to say
that the night owls have made me laugh a billion
times more than the morning birds.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Even the bartender that you would prefer to have standard
daylight time.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Okay, So did you do any research on when this
will all happen or not happen, or when will we
when will we stop changing clocks?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Well, you know, the focus group really didn't test that.
Did you test for the legislation?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
It was get that.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
How do representative Californians steal about it?
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I find that really unusual that, you know. Okay, maybe
for California that's you know, that's one thing. But I
tell you, in New York, Minnesota, Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis, it's
got to be the exact opposite. You know, people are
you know, they want more daylight at the end of
the day.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I know, I sure do. I tell you, I'm apparently
I'm not a representative California.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
No, You're a night out, You're a night guy. You
listen to the show, you're up at night. You know,
I don't. I I have friends who are morning birds,
and I wish I could be like them. I wish
I could get up in the morning at five o'clock
and you know, and work out and start my day.
I just can't. I've tried, and it's just not me.
But I remember having to catch a flight to New York.
(06:48):
It was a six am flight out of Lax to
New York, and so I had to get up at
you know, three thirty, get on the road by four,
get there by five, get on the plane at six
or six thirty. It was the first flight out. And
I remember being on the flight and I was sitting
next to a guy, and the guy was one of
these morning guys. He's been up for a long time.
He's got the paper, he's got his orange juice, he's talkative,
(07:11):
he's you know, he's freshly shaved, and he's up.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
He's up.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
And he says to the flight attendant, Hey, can I
get a pillow or a blanket? And she says, how
about both? And they both laughed, And I thought, where
the Christ is the humor there? I missed the punchline,
the setup, the irony, the exaggeration. I missed all the
elements of a joke. And I couldn't understand what these
two people were laughing at.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
That was a lot of work for very little payoffs.
You know, it's funny. I'm like you, I'm up all night.
You know. I'll email my business partner at three am
and he texted me at six am.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, I'm the same way.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You know.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I've stopped doing recently, and I stopped like last night,
I was going to text the buddy at around two
o'clock in the morning, and I stopped. And I didn't
because it wasn't that important and I didn't want to
wake him up. But I could text people all night long.
And I love when I get a like a two
am text because that's we're off to the races. We're
going to be twenty minutes of texting back and forth
(08:10):
with anybody, you know, whoever it is, you know, all
the stupid buddies of mine.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
But I do like being up late at night.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I watch, you know, the late news, the eleven o'clock
news on two, four, five, seven nine, and then I
like watching you know, sporting events that I missed during
the evening because we're doing this show. But that is
interesting that that most people want that daylight, at least
in California in the morning.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
That's odd.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, it is. And you know what I love to
do it in the evening, tim is I love to
run focus groups and invite all of your listeners.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Okay, to go to can I give a short Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Our new venture we're based here in Los Angeles. It's
called Smartfocus dot AI. That's the website, and we have
this very intuitive platform that enables anyone to run a
focus group.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh wow, okay, smart Focus dot A. I right, Okay,
that's great and and so and anybody can join. It
doesn't cost anything, you.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Know, it Actually it does cost something, ok. But it
is remarkably remarkably affordable. And you know what for your show.
Anytime you guys want to run a focus group, you
let me know.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
And then what is that entailed? Did we give you
the idea and you put everything together?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
You tell me any idea that you want to test,
whether it's a marketing campaign or a guest idea for
the show, and I can put together a representative panel
of your listeners and tell you how those people are
likely to think about it.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Wow, Okay, do me a favor. Can can we get
the first one for free?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
You got it?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Ask them what they think about bringing back? What the
hell did Jesse Jackson say?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I've been listening to your show since the Steckler days. Okay,
and so you know that was That was a very
memorable segment that you have.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
It was a lot of fun. And I'm really bummed
we stop doing it because everybody still always asked about it.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
They always always ask.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Buddy, this sounds great. Who do you represent in the
in the PR business? Anybody?

a bunch of clients in medicine and entertainment. I represent
the Better Business Bureau. Oh good, okay, and yeah, I've

Well, I did have to become accredited to work for.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
That's that's how they got you. That's great, all right, Eric,
I'm glad you called.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
We will have some focus groups in the in the future.
Anytime we want to run something up, we'll definitely do it.
Go to smart Focus dot A.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Tip, all right, you're the best.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Thanks for photo.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Man.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Hey d dig dong with you? All right, that's great man.
That guy is. That guy's awesome. You know, he called
up and volunteered himself for you know, to come on
and talk about it.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
So that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Anyway, smart Focus dot AI Smart Focus dot AI.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I don't know what it costs.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
You know, he didn't give the price, so imagine it's
up there, right, you know, let's look it up. I'm
gonna look it up right now. Smart Focus dot A I.
I don't see what this costs. Smart focus dot AAI
powered focus groups for instant insights and smarter discussions, and
(11:46):
then there's some kind of fox running across the computer screen.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
How it works.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Describe your idea, build your focus group, watch the insight unfold,
get actionable insights, and keep the conversation going. Oh okay,
ten thousand dollars, I just get a turn. No, it's
not ten grand. I don't know what it costs, but
it's it's not ten grand. Oh, here's pricing. That's okay,
(12:16):
all right, that's not bad. One hundred and twenty five
dollars a month. All right, that's pretty good. Right, Yeah,
that's I'm not wiping people out. And there's three different
era levels core, Growth and pro pro is three seventy
five a month. And let's see what's included here. Let's
go with the core. So you get one AI focus group,
(12:37):
focus group history, seven max AI persona percession, and then
it goes on and on live insights and trail. Okay,
that's pretty good. You know, if you want to, if
you have an idea and you know you don't want
to do it yourself one time, use a single project
instant insight. They call it one time payment in ninety
(12:58):
nine dollars, which is a great idea, you know, great price.
You have an idea and you want to do a
deep dive on it.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Go to this dude.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
You know, he sounds like an outstanding guy. Smartfocus dot ai.
Maybe your business can take off or you need some help.
You're you're toying with an idea. You don't know if
it's going to work or not. This let this guy
do the research for you, so you have to do it.
Smart focus dot ai. Think going with that guy.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
You may have seen.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
The video of the grandfather at Yellowstone Park who was
taking a photograph and he thought it was a safe
distance from one of those buffaloes or bison, i should say,
and then he gets chased around and gets launched in
(13:52):
the air. It must have been ten feet in the air.
He does the splits, comes down, breaks his hip, and
he's in the hospital.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
And he was doing it all right. He was doing
it right.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
You know, the park rangers tell you to stay at
least twenty five yards away from wild animals, and he
was more like one hundred yards away, and yet it
chased him and tracked him down and followed him and
gored him and with his horns and flipped him in
the air. Could have killed him. And now he's speaking out.
(14:24):
Let's find out. I think he's a grandfather. Let's find
out what's going on with this dude and how much
pain that he's in.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Yeah, buy that.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
For the first time, overnight, Karl McDaniel is opening up
about his now viral face to face encounter with a
raging bison last Friday at Montana's Yellowstone National Park. The
sixty five year old grandfather now recovering from a broken femur.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
No, a broken femur. Wow, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
They say that the broken femur is the most painful
bone to break in your body. There's a a special
wing at the emergency room for those folks. It is excruciating,
unbelievable pain. And this guy's sixty five. You know that
could be a wrap at sixty five when you break
(15:14):
your femur.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
After the massive animal chased him around a camp before
tossing him high into the air, McDaniel telling CNN, we
were about one hundred yards away and the bison was
not aggressive, so they snapped a few photos and continued walking.
Photographer micro Cloud filmed the wild encounters.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
They were doing everything right and they were respectful, and
once the bison showed any agitation, they left and.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
They started running around in and out of the trees.
And they should have played the Benny Hill theme song.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
That would have been.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Great, because that would have been perfect in running in
and out of the trees with his grandson, lean and lady, and.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
They were just at the wrong time, in the wrong place.
Speaker 7 (15:54):
McDaniel says around that time, a truck drove by and
the driver honked his horn and what he believes was
an apparent attempt to get the bison to move, and
it worked. The sound agitated the bison and it began
running toward them, McDaniel telling CNN there was not a
lot of time, so I told my grandson to run
in one direction and I went the other to try
(16:15):
and draw him away, and he did. After chasing the
pair around a wooded area, the hulking animal eventually caught
up to McDaniel and sent him flying.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, but he chased him for a little while. They
should have shipping the music Ron and Grandpa Ron beyond
the train.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
By the head.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
That's where the bison gets him, and he's up in
the doing the splits in midair. Butts boots Randolph? Is
that right?
Speaker 9 (17:07):
Was Randolf?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Jackety Sacks? Jackety Sacks? Oh what a song?
Speaker 7 (17:12):
McDaniel says. He was on the ground and unable to
move when something remarkable happened. He was right on top
of me. He could have stomped on me, he could
have gored me. He could have done almost anything to
take my life, and he did not do so. That's
when the photographer says he immediately stopped filming and ran
to help, yelling at the bison along with other good
(17:32):
Samaritans to scare it off.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
I could see that bison was standing over him and
pumping his head, very aggressive and agitated, and I knew
that somebody had to distract that thing.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
McDaniel, who had surgery on Sunday, says he's grateful for
all the people who helped and thankful it was not
much worse.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah, he could have definitely died, that dude.
Speaker 10 (17:54):
I mean, what a story. And so what does his
recovery look like now? Camila, Yes, Sarana, So.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Carls that's always so tough to hear Savannah's voice, you know,
because whatever that guy went through at the broken Femur,
she's like, hold my.
Speaker 9 (18:08):
Beer and that stuff for her to do any news
story because of that, because that's all it's anybody's head, right,
They're not thinking about anything she's talking about in that moment.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
All they're thinking about is this poor woman whose mother
is still missing.
Speaker 10 (18:24):
I mean, what a story? And so what does his
recovery look for?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
What a story? How about your story? And nothing? Trump's
the story that she had to suffer through on international
TV every day looking for your mom. It's the worst.
Speaker 10 (18:40):
I mean, what a story? And so what does his
recovery look like? Now, Kavila, how.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
About your recovery?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
You know?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
I mean this is this woman has has got to
have had the worst thing that's happened to anybody. You know,
it's almost worse than death that you can't find your mom.
Because now when you're walking around or you're in the
mall and you see somebody that looks like your mom,
you stop and you want to look at the face
and have her turn around to see if it's your mom.
(19:07):
It's got a torture, Yes, Sarana.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
So Carl McDaniel told CNN that he broke his femur
in four places near his hip. He says he'll be
doing physical therapy for the next few days to start walking,
but he was thankfully able to stand yesterday.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, and then Savannah should go Yeah, that's fine, but
let me tell you what happened to me. And then
everyone's like, oh, no, man, here we go. But that's
got to be the worst, absolutely worst.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
That woman is suffering more than I imagine almost anybody,
you know, the missing mom. And again, I hate to
say this, but she would have she would be much
better off if they found that mom, even if she
wasn't alive.
Speaker 9 (19:50):
And the fact that she can do what she's doing
now is a pretty amazing thing.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
It's remarkable.
Speaker 9 (19:55):
I you know, I took a month off and for
just because I needed to take a month off, and
I my wife keeps telling me she sees stuff online
from people during that time just called oh he's not
he's fine, or even like you know whatever, and I'm
just like, man, it's it's.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Being a professional. Yeah, absolutely so.
Speaker 9 (20:12):
Anybody that can do that with her doing that, that's
a that's an amazing thing.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
That is a big deal.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
I mean we we all, you know, we all put
it off, but we all could use a month off
and yeah, do a little soul searching, but we don't.
Speaker 9 (20:27):
That's one of the things that people also don't think
too much about when they're hearing people on the air
that are representing themselves or it's you don't know what
they're going yea. And some people have a hard time
distancing or separating.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
That, yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
And and you know, and you don't want to ask
for help or take that time off because you know
sometimes you know, people judge you for that, and then
you have to weigh that against how much it'll help.
And you know, if you take the time off, well
they find somebody replaced me.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I mean you go through all those.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
You know what a couple months that she was off something. Yeah,
she was always like three months and then back. But
you can still hear their voice, oh yeah, especially like
you said, it's unresolved. It's just still sitting there. But
when she asked this initial or initial comment here, you
can still hear it in her voice that she's suffering.
Speaker 10 (21:19):
I mean, what a story. And so what does his
recovery look like now kvila.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Yeah, just not the same.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
She her voice is just sad. You could just hear it,
even if she's smiling. It's just not the same.
Speaker 9 (21:31):
And you wonder, like the producers and stuff, when they
assign who's gonna which of the hosts is going to
deal with each story, how much of a discussion that is,
and whether or not she's told them nope, give me
what you got, don't don't make any differences.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah, maybe, but I think if I was the producer,
I would always give her the downer stories always.
Speaker 10 (21:49):
Yeah, she does this, I'm more convincing.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Yeah, she really puts it in leap frogs all over all,
these guys broken femur.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Yeah, how about me? Christ can't beat that.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty Ada.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
How did you pick that song? Why do you play
that song?
Speaker 11 (22:13):
It's just you know, top of mind, Okay, loaded it
up because that song Michael Jackson, right, of course, And
that's where Savannah Guthrie met her first husband on the
at the Michael Jackson trial.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Oh really yeah, yeah, there was a strange place to
meet your husband. Yeah, odd odd, but it's romantic. Guess,
give me it anywhere, what the hell? But sure, I
don't know which trial that was of Michael Jackson where
they met. I think it was the first one, and
that's where she met her first husband. Then they got divorced.
She met the second husband and had two kids. And
(22:48):
I think she has a ten year old and a
twelve year old Savannah Guthrie does. And man, did she
protect those kids because remember those kids' grandmother is missing
in Nancy Guthrie. That's the grandmother of her two kids.
And I know one of.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Her kids, one of her kids named Charles. I don't know,
I know this much about this woman, but I do,
and that Charles is named after the first her first
I think her dad, Yeah, I think I think Savannah
Guthrie's dad was Charlie or Charles, and he died in
Mexico in a mining accident in then I think in
(23:27):
like an eighty eight, eighty nine somewhere around there. And
so I named she named one of her kids after
her dad. But she really protected those two kids. I
never heard anything about her kids during that whole you know,
chase and exploration and search for the mom. Never heard
anything about the kids. So she really is a great
(23:48):
mom protecting those those two little ones. But what a
year Savannah Guthrie had. She went into surgery, she had
surgery on her throat to remove some polyps in January,
and then in February her mom gets kidnapped. So this
is like the worst year in this woman's life. And
yet she made it back to TV and is working
(24:09):
every morning, so that's great.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Good for her.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Maybe he keeps her busy, keeps your mind off it,
that's possible.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
All right.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Chipotle or Chipolt, as Manuscalco calls it, chipult is moving,
not all of them, but they're opening up a new
restaurant in Mexico. So let's find out how the Mexicans
are gonna think about Chipotle. Are they gonna like it
(24:38):
or not? They like I know they they like McDonald's
down there. I don't think they're a fan of Taco
Bell by Chipotle, let's find out they're moving to Mexico.
They're opening in Mexico another restaurant.
Speaker 12 (24:51):
Chipotle is that to open its first restaurant in a
rather unusual spot this week Mexico. As you can imagine,
it's getting a lot of attention on social media. Yeah,
the Fast Casual chain will open its first Mexican location
in the Monterey metropolitan area on Thursday. It's part of
a larger rollout of restaurants.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Oh wait, wait, wait, wait wait, let me pack this
up social media.
Speaker 12 (25:11):
The Fast Casual chain will open its first Mexican location
in the Monterey metropolitan area on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Okay, okay, that's not really. That's a tourist place. That's
where Americans go to as tourists to Mexico. This is
not opening one in real Mexico. This is where you know,
dopey Americans go, and so that's why they're opening it.
Speaker 12 (25:35):
In this area in the Manterey.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yeah, Monterey is you know, it's just like Palm Springs or.
Speaker 12 (25:42):
Miami in the Monterey metropolitan area on Thursday. It's part
of a larger rollout of restaurants in the country, which
includes an expansion into Mexico City next year.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Okay, then now we're getting closer.
Speaker 12 (25:54):
One person on x commented Bold move selling Mexico a
corporate version of Mexico. It's not the first time US
fast food chains have tried their hands overseas. Taco Bell
opened then closed in Mexico while Domino shuttered all locations.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Oh no, they said no to Taco Bell. Yeah, well
I get it, I get it. You know, that's not
Mexican food to Mexicans. That's the that's the crap we
started here. I totally get them saying no mos.
Speaker 12 (26:23):
Taco Bell opened then closed in Mexico while Domino shuttered
all locations.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Yeah, and I'm not surprised in Italy. Oh oh, I
see do they have the nerve to open Dominoes in Italy?
How big are those Domino executives balls that you're gonna
stick at Dominoes in Italy?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Wonder what happened? Wonder why didn't didn't work?
Speaker 12 (26:48):
Closed in Mexico while Domino shuttered all locations in Italy.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
We are unbelievable as a country, right that we thought
we could just, you know, take Dominoes to Italy and
it'll be hugely popular. No, no, they rejected it. You
know what another country rejected. We tried to open up
what I'm saying we I'm saying the United States. We
tried to open up and dominate the Canadian market with Target,
(27:18):
and they opened up like fifteen twenty stores, brought up
a bunch of employees spent hundreds of millions of dollars,
and Canada said no thanks, and they shut all of
them down. I think every single one of them closed
because they have their own you know, they have their
own version of that up there. And I think it's
(27:40):
named after a tire company. I think it's uh. I
can't remember the name of the tire company, but there's
a company up in Canada that sells tires and that
sort of target like store is named after that tire
and that tire store and they and they do the
same thing. But the Canadians just said no, you know,
(28:03):
we're not that interested in Target. And it cost them
a lot. It almost cost them the company. You know,
they came very close to losing the company over that
bad choice. So we'll see, We'll see how Chipotle opens
up in Mexico. Now they have a shot here because
Monterey and that's mostly Americans and Europeans and Canadians that
(28:24):
are going there. But you know, they didn't open it
up in the real sticks in Mexico because they knew
it would probably be met with no moss scigns no more.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
You know, when we think of Mexico for tourism, you know,
we think of Cabo, San Lucas, Porta Vireta, if you
go for a day trip down to a Tijuana and
if you're on but those are west coast city. You know,
if you live in California, Oregon, Arizona, Nevada, Washington and
(29:05):
you go to Mexico, those are the place you go to.
But if you go to eastern Mexico, man, there's some
beautiful places there, especially Monterey.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
I don't know where. I don't know where Monterey City is.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I don't know if that's east, east coast or west
coast of Mexico. But that is spectacular. I don't mighty.
The canal's there and the old you know, ancient buildings,
the old churches, and the mountains that surround it. That's
a beautiful joint. That's a great hang Monterey, Mexico and
(29:41):
slide down there and retire. That sounds like a decent idea.
You know, money goes much further and just beautiful, beautiful, beautiful,
all right, let's talk about these side. I know it's
sort of a downer but everybody wants to know, you know,
what their future is going to be like and how
they're going to leave the planet. There's a blood test
(30:02):
out there for Alzheimer's or old timers, as my grandmother
used to call it. Let's find out a little more
about it. Maybe you want to get tested, or test
mom or dad, or grandma or grandpa.
Speaker 13 (30:12):
A new blood test may help determine if you're likely
to develop Alzheimer's disease. It's too soon to say for certain,
but researchers say the blood test may be able to
strongly predict the build up of certain plaques in the brain.
The new data shows healthy adults with increased levels of
a specific biomarker appeared to have a thirty eight percent
(30:33):
higher chance of early signs of dementia previous tests.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Wy did you hear that? I know sometimes you listen
half ass. I get that. I do the same thing
you know you want it.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
You don't have the reverse button the backup butt like
we do on TV, which is a shame in radio.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
We should have that.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Like when you watch TV on a DVR, you can
pause it and back up twenty seconds to look at
something again.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Why don't we have that on all radios. Should have it.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
You know, it's obviously that technology is there. We should
have that where people can stop. You know, they didn't
they heard something sort of half assed. They want to
go out and listen to it again. You know, you
know who that that lands on me. I've got to
do that.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
I've got to back up the show and give you
important information and sometimes I don't always catch it. So
that technology absolutely exists and it should.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Be on all radios.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
We can back it up a little, but now for
the meantime, I've got to do it. But this is
a very important part of thish of this story.
Speaker 13 (31:32):
The new data shows healthy adults with increased levels of
a specific bio marker appeared to have a thirty eight
percent higher chance of early signs of dimension.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Okay, thirty eight percent in the medical world is enormous.
A thirty eight percent higher chance of you getting Alzheimer's
is is giant, and you'll you probably will want to
know that or should know it.
Speaker 13 (31:56):
Previous testing includes invasive and expensive procedure, including spinal taps.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Oh okay, all right, the DMV you might have to
take your test over. Yep, there's been some problems with
eleven thousand tests that were that were taking.
Speaker 14 (32:15):
The dmvw details about some eleven thousand California drivers who
must retake their written drivers.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Exams or risk losing their license.
Speaker 14 (32:24):
The DMV now says those people are suspected of cheating.
DMV sent letters to those people saying they found testing
anomalies during a review of recent written exams. There was
speculation online that the DMV's flagging of certain tests was
connected to the use of new AI tools.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Wow, a technical error.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
How about that cheating on the DMV written test and
they caught you.
Speaker 14 (32:51):
But in a statement, the DMV refuted those claims, saying
some individuals may have used various cheating methods. If drivers
take the retest and fail, their licenses may be revoked immediately.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
That's horrible, all right, Well, if you cheated, they might
be calling you or emailing you and you have to
slide down there for another test.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
That's crazy, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Adult children, guess what they're doing. They're moving home again. Yep,
they're moving back in with mom and dad.
Speaker 12 (33:24):
After going through a breakup and what she called a
quarter life crisis, Samantha Stobo was ready to leave New
York City and figure out her next step.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
My mom actually pitched the idea. She had recently moved
to my aunt. By the way, when I was growing
up and when Krozer was growing up, we couldn't get
away with that term. This is my quarter life drama,
my quarter life you know down what was the term.
Speaker 7 (33:51):
She used to break up and what she called a
quarter life crisis.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
Okay, I could not say that to my mom or
dad whatever. I'm going through my quarter life crisis at
twenty twenty five. My dad would be like, you got
to straighten shut up. Yeah right, yeah, just get over it. Yeah,
twenty five, twenty five, Yeah, that usually is because of
a breakup, you know with a guy or a gal,
(34:16):
or a.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Guy and a guy, or a gall and a gal
or the guy.
Speaker 9 (34:19):
Agreed that the early twenties to mid twenties are are
some of the most trepidacious of anybody's lives because you're
learning how to be an adults from one that's shut up.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
It's just transitioning, you know, into adulthood. And they say
by age twenty eight is when you should leave trouble alone,
you know, like when you're twenty one and a guy
calls you up at ten o'clock at night and goes, whoo,
we're going road trip Vegas. You're like, oh, pick me up,
let's go. But at twenty eight you got to tell
him have a good time. About twenty eight is where
(34:52):
you got to settle down and you got to start,
you know, thinking.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
About your the rest of your life.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
You can't just pack up at midnight and drive to
Vegas with your stupid friends. But before twenty eight, that's
a great that is a great move. I remember, remember
the regular guys in KAlSi. Yeah, I was very good
friends and still am with Larry Wax, great guy. And
he called me up one night at seven o'clock on
(35:19):
a set on a Saturday, and he goes, buddy, let's
go to Vegas. And I always said yes to those,
so said, yeah, pick me up. A half hour ago,
I had nothing to do. So we drive to Vegas
and we were just going to get a hotel room
when we got there. You know, there's a million hotel
rooms we'll get when we get there. There was some
big ass or two or three big ass conventions in
(35:41):
town and we couldn't find a room. We went from
one hotel to another to another, and this now it's
like one o'clock in the morning, two o'clock in the morning,
and there was nothing. Even the crappy hotels that are
off the strip were unavailable. They were all taken, All
the rooms were spoken for. So we at three o'clock
we were gonna He said, let's just sleep in the car.
So we fall asleep in the car and the cop
(36:03):
comes up and knocks on the window. Is hey, buddy,
you can't sleep here, move on, Move on. And then
we went to another like parking lot. There was a
security guard there and he wouldn't let us sleep. So
we drove home and got home at around around eight
thirty in the morning.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Yeah, but what a trip.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
That was brutal when the sun came up, you know,
when you're driving home after being on the road for
you know, twelve hours by that's something that we did.
I probably did that a little after twenty eight, or
maybe around twenty eight, but they say that's the cutoff
age twenty eight is when you get to stop being
an idiot in life.
