DJ for a long time. Youworked for music radio stations. All right,

lanes while traveling in my car.Whoever you are, Do you remember that
song, gig Tar giggy Tar,that's right, yes, yes, I've

great, Crouch. I knew youwould know it. Gigy Ta Remember they
thanked He thanked his grandfather toping thatalbum and the album. No, the
grandfather left the voicemail. I likeyour first album. On your second album,
it should sound just as good,just exactly like the first album.
I talked to you later and thenall right, let's talk to Alex Stone

(01:07):

Crozier, you actually knew that.You didn't have to google it.
No, he knew it. Wow, I have no idea who Giggy Tye
is. Oh, Gekita is great. They have a great reason I knew
him, Alex. Yeah, Idon't know if it was a one hit
wonder, but it was closed.I think it was in the ballpark.
But man, I enjoyed that cruisingalong in their car there and I want

(01:32):
a whole band in the car.They want to thank you for whoever you
know, whoever you are for letme change lanes. Well, it says,
yeah, they know they got thedrummer in the back seat. That's
great, it's great. Hey,I didn't know this about you, that
you're a fast food nut like Iam. I can be. Yeah,
yeah, until my wife said stopeating that stuff, I definitely can be.

(01:52):
Wait. Would your wife actually havethat conversation with you? Uh No,
I mean I think she would say, let's see what, why don't
we try to make something at hometonight, But we don't need to spend
the money on that. That's astop eating that stuff kind of comment.
All right, man, you gotto try my wife on for a while.
She never complains about stuff like that. Yeah, what's your fast food
of choice? What do you do? I'm in an out guy, uh,

(02:15):
and then I'm a Dell Taco guy. But man if I can,
if I see an Arby's while I'mtraveling around, I'll change not I'll get
over eight lanes and slide off theshould and I haven't been doing Arby's and
years they closed the one on Sunset. We've been talking about the hat thing.
That's right, it's over. It'sover. But that's a good place
for chicken. You know. ObviouslyChick fil a or Canes is terrific,

(02:38):
and man, I just love cheap, hot, fast, salty crap.
The new at Taco Bell they've gottheir slow roasted chicken. And you know,
I'm not typically one that would bepromoting Taco Bell, but it's actually
really good, you know what.I'm excited try and I haven't tried it
yet. Is there salsa verde overthere? Yeah, that's good too.
It comes with everything that you getthat's their new slow roasted whatever they call

(03:00):
it, long roasted chicken. Yougive your little sel saverity packet with it.
It's it's good. And then youknow what I've noticed. I've noticed
that the crowded in and out isa little older, like, well sort
of like I am. But theyoung people, you know, those youngsters
out there, they love that Chapultlee. Yeah, Chipotle is good. Yeah,
I love it. Our own stepyeah, don't. Hey. So

(03:22):
a lot of these places are there. They're trying to sound like they have
deals, but it's very difficult forthem to do this. Yeah. So
you know all the fast food chains, they've been trying to get in on
this. And you remember maybe amonth ago when McDonald said, well,
I mean they had to do somethingbecause all the social media attacks on them
that their food had gotten so expensive. And there was a one guy in
Connecticut who said, look a bigMac with fries and drink is eighteen bucks.

(03:45):
That's not cheap any longer. McDonaldsaid, well, yeah, but
it's franchisees can set their own prices. And that's one McDonald's. It's not
everybody. They counter that it's reallynot that expensive. Social media seems to
feel differently. Chick fil A hasgotten blasted for that. Chipotle has,
especially in California, have twenty dollarsminimum wage and prices going up. So

(04:06):
just today after they said they weregoing to do it. McDonald's today released
the details on their new meal deal. It's going to begin June twenty fifth.
It'll be five bucks and you'll geta mcduble or a McChicken, small
fries, four piece nuggets, anda small drink. But for only a
couple of weeks. It's going tobe a promotion for a few weeks.
They had to fight with the franchiseesthat because it could be money lost in

(04:30):
some areas. So that's going tobe that Wendy's, Burger King, Starbucks
They've all had to follow. Buttoday now Subway is getting in on the
action, saying that they too weregoing to that They see they got to
do this because polling indicates surveys showedthat people now see eating fast food as
a luxury because it's gotten so expensive, and so they're all, you know,
there's no five dollars foot long anylonger. It's now like a nine

(04:51):
dollars foot long. That they justcan't do it and make money. But
Nick Fry, the CEO or thepresident of Subway North Americas, sat down
with us exclusively because you know,everybody's fighting to talk to the president of
Subway. Sure, and he saidthis, as we look at the restaurant
industry as consumers, we're starting tosee a lot of restaurants focused on adding
greater value. The challenge that comeswith greater value sometimes is that there's a

(05:14):
sacrifice for consumers, and the sacrificesquality to get to price. So I
mean he's hinting there that the otherplaces are going to be lower quality.
So now Subway is adding. Whatthey're going to do is a foot long
roll up dipper is going to betheir thing. It's going to be three
dollars, not five dollars, butthree dollars. And they say they know
inflation has caused prices on menu itemsto go up, and fast food can
be a luxury. So these aregoing to be their flat bread and then

(05:36):
you can choose if you want pepperoniand cheese, chicken and cheese, or
just cheese. Using the flatbread thatthey've already got, They're just going to
put a little bit of it inthere, roll it up, put it
in their heater toaster thing e withthe door on the front of it,
and then hand it to you witha bunch of dipping where you get to
choose what you want your dipping sauceto be. And Subway says, they
want to make it cheaper than everybodyelse. I mean it's like the airlines.

(05:59):
Now one does it and the otherone tries to do it a little
bit cheaper the same thing that they'redoing. They want to give something different,
give options, give value, Andhe said, with a three dollars
foot long dippers, you know,it comes with the levern different sauces to
choose from, so our consumers getto mix and match. And that even
hits on trends today such as swicy. I'm not sure if you've heard of
that. That's sweet and spicy togetheryou so swicy. So swicy is going

(06:21):
to be the thing now and therest at least a fast food industry,
but that's going to be their valuemeal Sow says, it's going to be
swicy and now to compete with Wendy'sBiggie Bag and McDonald's and Subway and Starbucks
making a meal deal, all ofthem, you think it will get to
a point where a guy will say, oh, my Litink's friend is so
spicy. The six Society with livespicy, swicy, spicy, you know,

(06:47):
I don't know if you ever sawthe McDonald's movie by you know,
McDonald's is not really in the fastfood game. They're in the real estate
business. It's true. They getit. They you know, they buy
a piece of property, they putthat McDonald's on it as a placeholder so
they can you know, not losemoney over the you know, twenty or
thirty years while they keep that propertyand then they sell it. And I

(07:08):
think they're the largest holder of realestate in America. Yeah, but you
know, the franchisees that are outthere, they do want to make money,
and they were the ones fighting backon this and that they had to
come to an agreement on and likewe talked about before, a little bit
of this as kind of a lostleader situation like Costco and going in for
the rotisserie check in of that,they're not going to make a ton of
money, if any money, offof it, but it gets you in

(07:29):
the door. And it's too badthat the McDonald's one won't be more than
a couple of weeks. But theiridea was convince the franchisees they won't do
it forever, but get people backin the door who have said they're not
going to go to McDonald's anymore becauseit's too expensive. And you get people
liking it again, craving it again, kids who are going to save but
mom, I want to go backthere, and they get their ideas that
they're going to get business going againwhere they've seen slumps. Thanks them,

(07:53):
buddy, really appreciate you coming onand we'll talk to you soon. You're
listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand. I'm kfi am six forty. I
grew up with tupperware. Maybe youdid as well, I'm sure, belly.
Oh your mom had nine hundred pieces, yes, and had Tupperware parties.
Yeah, that's the only way tobuy it. Yeah, you couldn't

(08:13):
go to new store and buy it. You'd have a Tupperware party. And
I remember going to a Tupperware partywith my grandmother and I was young.
It was probably about I don't know, maybe ten years old, and she
said, hey, you know,we're going to a Tupperware party this afternoon,
Like it seems light, seems notenough there for me to really be

(08:33):
interested. And you go there andevery the entire living room is all set
up like a store. You know, there's different areas of the like the
coffee table have tupperware on, thenthe kitchen will have more tupperware, and
the living room will have a wholelike set of it and everything. And
you walk around. It's like likeclipboard and piece of paper and you write
down what you want and you orderit, then you pay for it,

(08:56):
and then it's delivered to the houselike you know, three or four weeks
later. But that tupperware belly,it lasted a long long time. I
actually think my mom still has somestock. Yes, Tupperware is great,
but they've run into tough times.Tupperware, their stock is down to I
don't know, pennies, pennies Ithink it is. And now they're shutting

(09:16):
down their last US plant and movingto Mexico. Oh Boy, a long
time Williamsburg County manufacturing facility reported itsplan to shut down by the beginning of
next year. Tupperwaary home product linethat most notably produces various storage containers,
says it is shuttering its Hemingway facility, resulting in the layoffs of one hundred

(09:37):
and forty eight employees. Those layoffswill begin in late September, with the
plant permanently closing by January fourteenth.That facility is the only manufacturing plant the
brand has in the US. Yeah, and now you can buy containers at
your supermarket that are somewhat like Tupperware, but man, they're not as good
that. My grandmother had tupperware thatlasted for decades, decades and kept that.

(10:01):
My grandmother is a great baker.She'd loved baking, and all of
her all of her ingredients were allin tupperware, and you knew they were
safe in that tupperware. They're goingto stay fresh. And something happened,
you know, cheap knockoffs, andall of a sudden, Tupperware is moving
to Mexico and we're done with it. And it's another thing we've lost.

(10:24):
All we do is lose things inAmerica. We've lost the RBS, we're
losing pizza huts, we lost theEagle Rock Brewery, and now we're losing
Topperware. Everything seems to be vanishing. And I don't like it. I
don't like it. I don't likethat kind of change. Speaking of change,
the Lakers are changing. Got abrand new coach for the Lakers.

(10:46):
Find out about this dude, we'relearning. JJ Reddick has agreed to become
the lakers next head coach. Accordingto ESPN sources, he formally interviewed for
the job Saturday. Reddick played fifteenyears in the NBA, including a stint
with the Clippers. He's now anNBA analyst for ESPN, and he's on
the broadcasting team for the NBA Finalshere on ABC. He also hosted a
basketball podcast with Lebron James. Again, reports JJ Reddick has agreed to be

(11:09):
the coach of the Lakers. Okay, Now, I have an idea that
I don't know if it's legal ornot, but I think I could have
really helped out the Lakers because LebronJames is the coach of that team.
It doesn't matter what suit you puton, what guy who's sitting on the
bench. Lebron James is the coachof that team. So why not make

(11:30):
him the coach of the team.He's a player coach, and I think
Lebron makes twenty five million dollars ayear, twenty four to twenty five million
dollars a year. So you canpay Lebron twenty five million dollars to coach
that team and pay him a dollarto play for the team, and then
you can open up all that capspace, hire some really good players and
get yourself a championship. Now,I don't know if it's legal. It's

(11:50):
probably not, but maybe there's aloophole in there. I don't know.
I don't know that much about theNBA, but I know the Lakers need
some help and that I think mightleap frog over the Lakers, and it
might take some time. Is theClippers. The Clippers going to have a
brand new stadium. They've got agreat team. I think people are going

(12:11):
to take off with these Clippers thenew stadium. I was reading an article
about that. The Clippers team thatthey currently have. I don't know,
if you've really looked at it.They're all very old. Oh they are.
Yeah, they all have big contracts. Oh no, and they don't
really have any prospects coming up.Oh no. Yeah, So it could
crater pretty quickly with that new stadiumor arena. You want to rethink your

(12:35):
theory. No, no, no, I still think that the Clippers are
going to take off. I reallydo. With them. It's all it's
all about staying healthy, period,and it's about Look, they have a
brand new, state of the artarena that's built specifically and solely for basketball
and you know concerts. But they'renot gonna have a hockey arena in there.
You know, you don't have to, you know, change the floor

(12:56):
in twenty minutes to get the Kingsor the Ducks to play in there.
It's just for basketball, and it'ssupposed to be, you know, a
world class, beautiful place to watchbasketball. They got the wall. Do
you hear about the wall at thatone end of the arena right behind well,
they ask four of them Crozier,it's a building. They got four
what they're calling at the wall whereit's like you can't wear anything other than

(13:18):
Clippers colors. It's a whole bigpromotional thing, and I guess they're taking
it's a it's basically like a standingroom only area, right, Okay,
I'll enjoy that. And they gotmore toilets than anywhere. They filled up
that place with toilets. There's alot of people are nervous watching those Clippers.
I don't know, but it's supposedto be a fantastic place. And

(13:39):
I think the w NBA. Ithink I think the Lakers will eventually play
there as well. I really doyou do? I do I think the
You know you're gonna find the Lakersmove out there because that that mayor Butts
is that his name out in Inglewood? And that guy is a magician.
You know, La got two NFLteams over the last ten years, and

(14:00):
either one of them play in LosAngeles. They both play in Englewood.
And now he got the Clippers.He has three of the four teams and
the NBA in the NFL playing inhis little town. How did he do
that? Check out the information onthis wall thing. It'll hold up to
forty five hundred fans. Wow,it's got a strict set of rules.
People seated there will not be permittedto cheer for or where the gear of

(14:22):
opposing team. So that's great.And if you choose to be a part
of the wall, you can't cheerfor the opposing team, wear any gear,
and anyone who breaks the code,the wall code, will lose access
to that section. Wow. Well, the one thing I've noticed over the
last you know, thirty forty fiftyyears since I've been living in La,
that La loves rules. We alwaysabide by rules. We don't do it.

(14:45):
We never speed, we never dodonuts, we never steal anything.
We love Rules in La, soI'll bring more rules to the stadium.
Dig DeLong with it. You're listeningto Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six four. You know,we used to play those songs all the
time, the Charlie Sheen song,the Uh you know Dead Giveaway, all

(15:09):
these songs that we played almost likedaily, if not weekly, for sure,
and then we just you know,got them failed. You know,
I think we moved from evenings theafternoon. We did a little more news,
but man, it was fun tolisten to. Like this one.
We used to play every single Friday, and I think one of the reasons
that took off is because we playedit so much. You probably remember this

(15:33):
song, right, It's uh theday before Friday, Rebecca Black seven eight.

me more information on this thing calledthe wall at the new Clippers Stadium.
This is going to be a hit, Crozier. I think you're onto something

(20:55):
here where people will be allowed tosit in this area, but you have
to be wearing Clippers gear. Youcannot root for the other team, and
if you break the rules, youget tossed out. To even get the
tickets, you have to be likeapproved, is that rise as a proper
Clippers That's the way it should be. That's the way it should be.
