Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KMF.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Do your zine. I'll be hanging out with bub boys.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Put on on tet of shorts, smelling good and uh boys,
turn on those headlights.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Flash, Flash Friday. Flash, it's Flash Tuesday. You remember Flash Friday?
I do, yeah, Elliot, do you remember flash? What are
your thoughts on Flash Friday? Remember anything about that?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
I don't remember it when it was like happening, and
I'm against it.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I don't like that's bad, very hackish. We can't do
it here on Fridays. No, we shouldn't do that.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
All right, all right, boys of the wet rag what
they call it, wet blanks, wet blanket, Yeah, the wet blanket.
Hey got a great idea, Flash Friday. I don't think
we should do that.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Every time here, wet blanket. I think of Michael Scott.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
He wants to have booze at the party, and he's
like stupid corporate wet blankets, like booze ever killed anybody?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
All Right? The guy that shot up the target, he's
under arrest, So that's or code for on that guy
and that's cool, but still gotta be careful downtown. If
you're going to Gloria Molina Park that's right near City Hall,
be careful. You know the park's gonna be safe, but
(01:33):
getting in and out of there might be a little hairy.
So be aware of your surroundings downtown Los Angeles. All right,
Sam Pedro is in the news. What should call maybe
Petros those news coming out of sam Pedro.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
The family owned San Pedro Fish Market will now have
a new location in twenty twenty six. It just signed
a forty nine year lease on the West Harbor waterfront.
The San Pedro Fish Market had been in this Ports
O'call village until it was demolished. Since then, the restaurant
has been operating in temporary locations as the new space
will be one of the largest restaurants in the US.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Wow, how about that, the iconic Sam Pedro Phish Market
signed a forty nine year lease. Well, now they settled
on forty nine. Maybe some of they wanted fifty five.
The other guy said, no, how about forty and they
came to forty nine year lease. That's wild, all right,
(02:29):
toll roads, there's a scam going on. If you're a
toll roads guy or gal, gotta be aware of this.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
If you take the toll roads, you could be the
target of a new scam. The Toll Roads Agency says
scammers are sending phishing texts claiming that drivers have an
outstanding balance. The agency says it does not send text
messages to non account holders and that drivers should disregard them.
If you're a toll roads customer, you can verify valid
text notifications by logging into your account.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Ah. Yes, somebody burper fart during that story right here.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Claiming that drivers have an outstanding balance.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
The agency is, oh, it does sound sound like somebody
stomach was on fire.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Claiming that drivers have an outstanding balance.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
The agency somebody either farted or their stomach is growling.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
One of the best the George Carlin bits is when
he talked about that like being in the doctor's office
in the waiting room and your stomach starts talking to.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It's got a name. It's called barberimy because that's what
it sounds like.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
And I found out later in life that is actually
actually the scientific name for it.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
When your stomach grumbles, Why what makes your stomach grumble?
I had that on the airplane coming back from Portland,
and even like the you know the guy, people around
me could hear it.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
It's usually if you don't have food in your system,
it's either going to be like water or air. That's
that's through your pipes and that just creates the sounds.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Oh that's great, that's crazy.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Balance the agencies.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I don't know what that was. I don't know what
ending that came out of balance.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
The agency says it does not send text messages to.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
All right, all right, all right, Big Lots. A lot
of people like Big Lots used to be picking save
and they went out of out of business. It's back, baby,
it's bad.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
Has struck a deal that will allow the company to
take hundreds of its stores and distribution centers open filed
for bankruptcy in September.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
They're changing the name of it though. It's not gonna
be Big Lots anymore. I guess they lost the name
of naming rights that Big Lots. It's going to be
called Hoarder's Warehouse. It's not wild Hoarder's Warehouse.
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Saying inflation and high interest rates led to a drop
in sales of home and seasonal products. For more on this,
I want to bring in CBS News Business contributor Javier
da vid So. Javier, A lot of people think big Lots.
I mean I remember shopping there as a kid, my family.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, I remember the shopping there as well. Not my family,
but just you know, picking up some things to hoard.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
It is.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It's a hoarder's warehouse. It's your You're picking up stuff
that you're eventually going to have in your house and
the sheriff's going to have to come clear it up.
That's what you're picking up there at at the Big
Lots hell. Yeah, were you a big Lots cow? You're
picking shot big Lots? Yeah? My wife loves yeah, big Lots.
So I don't get the whole you know, warehouse. Yeah,
(05:20):
I don't think it looks like a hoarder's warehouse. No, no, okay,
I don't appreciate it. Okay, okay.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
How will this work? And how could this save stores
and jobs?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
So they're doing.
Speaker 9 (05:29):
Something interesting that bankrupt companies rarely do. They're actively trying
to keep stores open. They're striking this deal, and a
big reason why is because they had this private equity
deal that fell through. They were preparing to shutter nearly
a thousand locations. It's a complicated transaction, and then it
involves in transferring property so the retailer's companies. But the
upshot is it'll keep hundreds of stores open in addition
(05:50):
to like a couple of distribution centers.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
You know, are the one in North Hollywood right off
of I don't know, Magnolia and Lancashim somewhere in that area.
That one closed down quite a while ago. But they
used to sell couches at that Big lots? Did they
sell belly your big lots? Do they sell furniture? Yes?
I wonder how nice furniture?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Okay, okay, but I wonder how many times this has
happened where you bought a couch at Big Lots and
then somebody comes over and they sit in it and like, wow,
this is a nice couch.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Where did you get it? How many times did that
person lie all the time?
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Got it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I got a wig Mathis Brothers.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, yeah, I got it at Couches Warehouse. Couches Warehouse.
Where is that? Oh it's way out in Palm Springs.
You know, it's too far, you'll never find it or anything,
so don't even look for it. But yeah, we got it.
The couches are us. It has a Big Lots sticker
on it.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Oh, it's my nickname. That's my that's my h that's
my badge for work. You know what else was good
Big lots. It's like pool stuff, pool stuff, Yeah, stuff
for the pool, for lounging at the bar.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, that's good. That's a good pull all right, thing
don't And then they also had candy bars for you know,
regularly eighty nine cents of pavilions. They're like a dime
at Big Lots. And lamps they got good lamps.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And they had they had a really sort of a
not your average carpenter's tool aisle. You know a lot
of really ripped off screwdrivers that don't do anything, that's
true doll.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Their kitchen, uh stuff was good, like the towels and
some plates and like bowls.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Wow, man, this this is big lots, all right, big lots,
big bites, big lots.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Go there.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I told you, I told you I got one more.
You used it.
Speaker 9 (07:57):
It's gonna say thousands of jobs, which is a good time.
You know, you don't want to be out of work
this time of year. So the big picture view was here.
As you mentioned, retail has been struggling, like it's inflation,
it's antibility to find workers, cost structure, a lot of
things that have to do, tough costing.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Sounds like Chuck Barry.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
I just said, he sounds like they changed his voice
to hide his identity.
Speaker 9 (08:21):
At ability to find workers, cost structure, a lot of
things that have to do, tough customers that are hard
to deal with, and people. So that's one of the reasons.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Why it's hard tough.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
Yeah, So all of that said, you know, they just
haven't really found their footing post pandemic, and a lot
of companies are going.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Through this stuff.
Speaker 9 (08:38):
It's like, you know, last week we just said Party
City is shuttering a bunch of stores. So retail just
high inflation, high interest rates, lots of costs, the inability
to keep things together, just really proving a real challenge
for you.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
So this is this guy just says, this is the
reason all these stories are closing.
Speaker 9 (08:56):
You know, last week we just said Party City is
shuttering a bunch of stores. Retail just high inflation, Okay,
high inflation, high interest rates, high interest rates, lots of costs,
the inability.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
To get lots of costs and what to things together,
the inability to keep things together.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
This guy never mentioned that everybody's stealing. Everybody is stealing nowadays.
Everybody is walking out with items that don't belong to them, everybody.
I saw it in Target about about a week ago. Yeah,
about a week ago. I saw it in Target. I
was in a Target, got a cart full of stuff.
He pulled out the wand you know, to get.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Hit the UPC code or whatever that thing is, and
he hit like three things, got a receipt for nine
dollars and walked out the full card to stuff full
and nobody stopped him. And I wasn't going to stop
him because I don't want to get shot. I used
to stop people, but now you get shot doing that.
I don't stop anybody anymore. That's their food, that's their food,
(09:55):
that's their stuff. I don't want to get shot.
Speaker 10 (09:58):
You're listening to Tim Conway. Soon you're on de Mayo
from kf I Am sixty. We have breaking news in
the fast food world. We just heard from Steph Foosh
during the break the taco bell has chicken nuggets and
Steph foos.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Flipped out. They're good. Huh so good? Yeah, yeah, what'd
you get? How would you get? I got the load
up they got.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Well, I wanted to try just to make sure it
wasn't good, So I just got the five piece because
they come in five and ten. Oh, but I'd never
had it before, so I want to make sure that
they were you know, brian, and.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
They coup of sauce on them or sauce on the guy.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah, you can get the sauces they got, like a
Chipotle sauce ranch sauce, uh, sweet and sour. But because
they're so popular, they only have the spicy ones, and
I don't like spicy, so I just had.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
It just by themselves. Oh I see, okay, yeah right,
and is it a limited time only? I know the
cheese fries are limited time. I know they're part of
the menu, now are they? I got some last night. Yeah,
I liked that. And the cheese sauce there is always
really hot, so good I always get.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I didn't know that you could actually just order the
side of cheese by itself.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Oh I don't know that.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
So I got to one time when I was you know,
a little bit to the wind hungry. I got I
got three Dada's Locos taco supreme and three cheese sauces.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Oh my god, it was the best thing I've ever eaten. Wow.
Did you eat in the parking lot or did you
drive and eat?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
H I'm close enough, so I just drove home and
it just scarfed it up once I got Wait, you
have the willpower to keep that bag clothes as you're
driving home? Well, but I don't know. Then I would know.
But I get a road snack, I get fries. I
have something to eat on the way home. Roadkill. I
can't pick up fast food and then drive home with it.
(11:56):
Some people can. I can't do it. I got to
pull into the parking lot get us. I always back
in because I always feel like I'm gonna get robbed.
I gotta get my you know, leave the engine on,
and I'm locked the doors.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I'm ready to roll. Never keep your back to the door.
That's right.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
But I'm gonna try those chicken nuggets on the way home.
I'm gonna get some more tonight.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
They look pretty good. Oh, I gotta look at them now,
I gotta look at it.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I'm really really because they they they debuted a taco
bellcon and so I was like, oh yeah, And then
I didn't know they were available, and I was just
stopping to get a Mexican pizza and there they were,
right there on the menu, and I was like.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You know they have they have the old fashioned toast
ota there now too.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah, they brought back the nineties, eighties, and seventies items
from the.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
All the all the decades. Ahright, I'm looking at all
the nuggets look good. Yeah, they're solid. There are they?
White meat, dark meat, white meat? One hundred Okay, five
piece crispy chicken nuggets featuring all white chicken meat, marinated
and jalapeno buttermilk with tortilla chips. Serve with your choice
(13:03):
of one dipping sauce. I've noticed that a lot of
these fast food places are cracking down on the dipping sauces.
You know, if you go to McDonald's, there's ten pages
of rules of what you can't what constitutes the delivery
of another sauce. You know, you got to meet the
threshold of a certain amount of chicken nuggets, and then
(13:24):
all of a sudden it opens up another sauce.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
And it's so funny because Taco Bell they'll give you
like a mountain of sauces and then they had that
issue where they were out of sauces for about I
think it was like two years ago. Yeah, and they're like, yeah,
if you bring them back, you know, you get like
a dollar off of a taco or something like that.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
You know, Chick fil A used to have the sauces
where you and they were out like on a counter
and you could take your own sauce. You just took
it yourself, and then everybody took advantage of that and
took them home, and so they stopped doing it, and
you got to bite the store. Yeah right now, and
then you have to have to ask them for them
now because some people ruin that. They ruined it, ruined it.
But that's that's a good tip for tonight. You know,
(14:05):
people want a fast meal before they go to their
party or when they're coming home. Try those and they're
not I don't know if they're sponsoring or not. I
don't know if they're they're certainly I don't know if
they're on the station or not by the chicken nuggets.
If Steph fuh says they're good, touchdown, touchdown, Because nobody
knows taco bell better than this lad. Nobody. That's a
(14:29):
compliment do you think it is? I do, yeah, don't
think it as well. All rightlet's get an update on
this time loser who shot up Target last night.
Speaker 11 (14:40):
Allegedly, after about a five hour standoff, police have their
suspect and custody. We're at the corner of seventh and
Big Soul Street. That's just around the corner from where
that shooting took place. And you can see behind me
that the scene is still active. Police officials tweeted the
arrest happened thanks to the partnership of several law enforcement agencies,
including PLICE. Walk the suspect out the front of the
(15:02):
apartment building on Ingram Street after firing tear gas into
the apartment where the suspect was located. This was a
very urgent matter for police. In a press conference this afternoon,
they described the suspect as violent and armed. After the
suspect engaged in what they described as a gunfight with
two security guards at the Target at seventh and fig
Two people were shot in that gunfight. One victim was
(15:26):
a lost Prevention Target employee. They were shot multiple times
and remains in the hospital in critical condition. The other
was an armed security guard who was able to check
out of the hospital today. Police say more than ten
rounds were fired during the incident.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Ah, Man, I don't know how long it takes for
this guy to go back to work, and he's got
to get like a hero's welcome when he gets back.
You know, he stopped that dude from I don't know,
or I don't know what happened, but something happened, but
he got shot. He's protecting Target and the people that
go to Target. There should be a go fundmate for
this guy. Laid down his life for you Target shoppers.
Speaker 12 (16:03):
We've done a tremendous job, the men and women of
recovering guns and arresting violators, but it still happens. But
this particular incident is particularly troubling.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Because it was unprovoked.
Speaker 12 (16:16):
People were doing the lawful duties to detain this individual, There.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Was a lot of people around.
Speaker 12 (16:21):
It appears that the shooting was very indiscriminate. The suspect
far at least five rounds. You know, he could have
shot multiple people in that mall. So this particular individual
has demonstrated just a wanton disregard for human life.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Now, yeah, I think it's on something then, but it
still happens. But This particular incident is crazy incident.
Speaker 12 (16:42):
This particular incident is particularly troubling. This particular incident is
particularly troubling because.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
It was unprovoked. People were doing human life.
Speaker 11 (16:53):
Now we're told, thankfully, that after the tear gas was
fired into the apartment, the suspect did give themselves up
without any contest. Nobody was injured, nobody was hurt, and
the suspect was taken into custy.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
All right, fantastic the long arm of the law. They
got their guy in this case. All Right, we're gonna
take a break.

last night. There was forty cars in front of me.
(23:07):
I could have cared less. There could have been eighty
cars in front of me.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
We I got it with my dad a couple of
days and he's like, we gotta get some in and
out because I think he heard you mention it on
the show and that's how it works. He's like, ever
since he said that, he's like, I had a craig
before we got to get it. After the movies, I'm like,
all right, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
I always time how long it takes, and on Sunday
it was pretty fast. It was twenty seven minutes in line,
but my record, I think is an hour and five
minutes or an hour and seven minutes. And I didn't
care at all. I just sat there, I sit there,
I wait, I wait, I.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Love it all right, Well, we'll come back to the
fast food trends for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
That's cool deal.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty Como show.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Happy New Year to everybody listening right now. I don't
know how many people listening. Maybe if people are going
out to the parties and they're listening, who knows, you know.
I can't really get a feel for how many people
are listening right now. So fast food, everybody loves it,
everybody talks about it.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
You enjoy it. I enjoy it probably too much. And
we have new trends for twenty twenty five. Do you
believe we're already in twenty twenty five? I remember very
clearly when we went y two K went from nineteen
ninety nine to year two thousand, and everybody flipped out
that all the computers are going to shut down and
people are going to flip out. Nothing ever happened, but
(24:35):
people got married really worried about it. Oh crazy. Now
we're twenty five years later, isn't that wild? Twenty five
years later, here's something that's going to make you feel old.
Little Amy Carter, that little tiny girl that was in
the White House with Jimmy Carter, his daughter, beautiful little
(24:57):
girl in the White House as he was president navigating
the politics of the United States and the world. She's
fifty seven years old. Fifty seven stick that in your mind.
All right, fast food, Let's see what's going on with
the fast food.
Speaker 13 (25:18):
After a year of restaurants battling for your business.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Like a king, who's on the budget and the fresh
mix five, the fast food value wars are showing no
signs of slowing down.
Speaker 14 (25:30):
In twenty twenty five.
Speaker 13 (25:31):
The deluge of deals, new offers, even drone deliveries a
response to win back bargain hungry consumers fed up with
sticker shock.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
The patties are smaller and you're paying.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
More forty dollars on fast food Gotta love twenty twenty four,
leading to a two percent drop in foot traffic through
October this year.
Speaker 13 (25:51):
Consermers were absolutely in the driver's seat and a force restaurants,
in particularly fast food restaurants, to respond than they did.
And now experts say that value strategy may be paying off.
What is your word for twenty twenty five? Hopefully does
normal mean good prices for the consumer? Normal means that
there's going to be more sort of permanent value on
(26:13):
the menu. McDonald's announcing that it's five dollars meal deal
will stay on the menu through summer twenty twenty five,
with a new buy one add one option for a
dollar more on other popular items. The Golden Arches also
saying it's investing one hundred million dollars to support franchises
impacted by October's deadly E coli outbreak linked to raw onions.
(26:34):
The CDC says the outbreak is now over. Wendy's has
a free frosty promotion for all of twenty twenty five,
but no timeline yet to test a controversial dynamic pricing model,
which the company says would not raise prices, only lower
them during off peak times.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
The Chicken Dung Donald has just begun.
Speaker 13 (26:54):
Chicken is trending for the new year, raising canes and
wingstop are expected to grow fast. Who veteran Case is
launching a new Sauce Forward spinoff?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
What what does that mean?
Speaker 14 (27:05):
Sauce Forward spin off?
Speaker 13 (27:07):
Even Taco Bell recently get promising more new products in
its most innovative year.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Ahead a fresh chicken hot off the Grill.
Speaker 13 (27:15):
Chipotle is also adding a new Chipotle Honey Chicken to
its menu in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Do you hear that stuff? Osh? Listen to this, buddy.
Speaker 13 (27:23):
Chipotle is also adding a new Chipotle honey Chicken to
its menu in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Honey Chicken. That does honey Chicken? What's up, buddy?
Speaker 13 (27:32):
Brito chain actually increase sales and customers in twenty twenty
four despite a two percent price hike and backlash overclaims
of skimped portion sizes.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Lately, Chipotle have not hite the same.
Speaker 13 (27:44):
Chipotle quick to respond by bulking back up their meals. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
You know what, Back in the old days, if people
people complained about a business, the business could ignore them.
You can't do that now with social media, not anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Yeah, you get a couple of people complaining, and these
companies will bend over backwards yep, to get that squashed.
Speaker 13 (28:03):
A focus on value that CEO Scott Boatwright promises will
continue in the new year.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
We're to lean into high quality, great tasting ingredients. We're
going to continue to give the consumer.
Speaker 14 (28:13):
Value for the money now.
Speaker 13 (28:15):
Chipotle's former CEO Brian Nichol, was brought over by Starbucks
this year as the coffee chain struggled with sales there. Now,
he says he's planning a big year ahead, including trimming
menu items instead focusing on delivering quality drinks with accurate service,
and he says he's bringing back coffee condiment bars in
the new year. By the way, if you prefer a
booth to the drive through. Dine in chains like Chilis
(28:35):
and Applebee's are also offering their own competing meal deals.
Speaker 14 (28:39):
And I think it will be the year of chicken.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah, I don't know. I think so too. I think
we're always in the Year of chicken, though, I think so.
Speaker 14 (28:46):
I think it will be the year of chicken.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I don't know. I don't like when they say it's
the year of anything. You know, just order what you want.
Doesn't that be the year?
Speaker 14 (28:56):
It's so great throughout that whole thing.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Kiki's like, oh, I'm so over chicken.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Thing's chicken.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Everybody's getting chicken, chicken, chicken.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
And it's going to be the year of the chicken,
I know. And I saw a reach for a knife.
He was going to kill herself.
Speaker 14 (29:10):
It's a little extreme year.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Sorry, yeah, cutting something else.
Speaker 14 (29:15):
I think it will be the year of chicken.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I mean, she was going to stay up Bellio is
what she was going to do. Problem that would never
happen because you know, what. I don't want to talk
out of school here but our own, our own. Kiki
d got a huge compliment from Tuala. Can I talk
about that on the air without pissing off Tuala? Yeah,
(29:37):
Tuala said, I think what last couple months ago, last month,
last week?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
When did he say that?
Speaker 15 (29:43):
Maybe about a month ago?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
About a month ago? Tuala one of the nicest guys
in the world. I think, the only really honest guy
left in radio. And if if I offended you, sorry,
but he is brutally honest with everything he talked about
his ups, is down and his downs, his challenges, his accomplishments,
(30:05):
and you never know where he is, like you know, politically,
and he's all over the place, and he's a great,
great dad, and he works his ass off. He's had
some physical challenges in his life. He's just one of
the great dudes' ever met my life. And he said
to Kiki, what did he say to you? Kiki?
Speaker 15 (30:24):
He said that he loves it when he can hear
my laugh down the hallways because it makes him.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Happy when you're here with belly. No, he didn't say that, right, Okay,
he said he loves to hear Keiki's laugh. It makes
him feel great, makes him feel happy, and and he
loves that that noise of Kiki's laugh. Kiki, I think
you have a sensational laugh. Don't ever lose that, you know,
(30:50):
don't smoke it away or you know, get kicked in
the throat or whatever. That's a great laugh. Yeah, once
in a while I get kicked in the throat. So
so he said that to Tuala, said that to Kiki.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
And with out skipping a beat, Bellio tried to take
credit for that. Oh we didn't you.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
The reason why she's laughing when he hears her is
because she's here with me. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
He inspires the laughter.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
It never ends with this one.
Speaker 15 (31:21):
But he doesn't hear belli O talk. He hears my laugh.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
That's right, that's right. I'll bet you. That's one of
the reasons Brian like wants to hang with you.
Speaker 14 (31:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Yeah, always having fun, always laughing, keeping it light, never
taking anything seriously. That's what's going on. And then.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Glinda, you're welcome. Is that the good one or the
bad ones? What's the bad one? Alphaba Alphaba alphaba starts up?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Is it really alphaba? Yeah, that's the name of the
bad witch. Yeah, who played the bad Witch in the movie,
Cynthia Arrivo, who played the good Witch Ariana Grande. Oh
how was that? Was that good? I didn't see that.
I enjoyed it. You know what, I think they missed
an opportunity. I was up in Oregon in Washington for Christmas,
and my daughter was really into that. Was it called
(32:18):
Enhanced and Richmond? What was the movie? Wicked? Wicked? Okay,
enhanced or enriched something like that. But that movie was
very popular, and yet I walked into maybe ten stores
and said, Hey, do you have a section here with
Wicked products? Oh? No, we don't have any of that.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Really, Like, there's a lot of girls in this store
around the same age as my daughter, maybe a little younger,
who really liked that movie, and there's no section here
that just sells all that crap.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
No, we don't have anything like that. That's a missed opportunity. Yeah,
I agree with that.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Yeah, you know what, I don't think the studios thought
it was going to be as big as it was,
But that's huge.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I'll bet you balliol next time that movie comes out.
I'll bet your target Walmart maybe Low's, I don't know,
has their own section of nothing but wicked stuff. Yeah,
Low's you can build the sets yourself or something. Yeah,
but it's going to have its own section of the
store Alta or Ultra Alta, Alta Alta, and then that
(33:22):
other one Sapora. Yeah, they're gonna have their own section
of nothing but wicked stuff. So anyway, Happy New Year's
Bellio Crozier, steph Uje, Kiki d of course your first
one married Angel Martinez, whoever the hell she is, Mike Morris,
(33:42):
Moe's not in tonight, but also an extension for a

Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Do your zine. I'll be hanging out with bub boys.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Put on on tet of shorts, smelling good and uh boys,
turn on those headlights.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Flash, Flash Friday. Flash, it's Flash Tuesday. You remember Flash Friday?
I do, yeah, Elliot, do you remember flash? What are
your thoughts on Flash Friday? Remember anything about that?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
I don't remember it when it was like happening, and
I'm against it.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I don't like that's bad, very hackish. We can't do
it here on Fridays. No, we shouldn't do that.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
All right, all right, boys of the wet rag what
they call it, wet blanks, wet blanket, Yeah, the wet blanket.
Hey got a great idea, Flash Friday. I don't think
we should do that.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Every time here, wet blanket. I think of Michael Scott.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
He wants to have booze at the party, and he's
like stupid corporate wet blankets, like booze ever killed anybody?
Speaker 1 (01:12):
All Right? The guy that shot up the target, he's
under arrest, So that's or code for on that guy
and that's cool, but still gotta be careful downtown. If
you're going to Gloria Molina Park that's right near City Hall,
be careful. You know the park's gonna be safe, but
(01:33):
getting in and out of there might be a little hairy.
So be aware of your surroundings downtown Los Angeles. All right,
Sam Pedro is in the news. What should call maybe
Petros those news coming out of sam Pedro.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
The family owned San Pedro Fish Market will now have
a new location in twenty twenty six. It just signed
a forty nine year lease on the West Harbor waterfront.
The San Pedro Fish Market had been in this Ports
O'call village until it was demolished. Since then, the restaurant
has been operating in temporary locations as the new space
will be one of the largest restaurants in the US.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Wow, how about that, the iconic Sam Pedro Phish Market
signed a forty nine year lease. Well, now they settled
on forty nine. Maybe some of they wanted fifty five.
The other guy said, no, how about forty and they
came to forty nine year lease. That's wild, all right,
(02:29):
toll roads, there's a scam going on. If you're a
toll roads guy or gal, gotta be aware of this.
Speaker 6 (02:35):
If you take the toll roads, you could be the
target of a new scam. The Toll Roads Agency says
scammers are sending phishing texts claiming that drivers have an
outstanding balance. The agency says it does not send text
messages to non account holders and that drivers should disregard them.
If you're a toll roads customer, you can verify valid
text notifications by logging into your account.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Ah. Yes, somebody burper fart during that story right here.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Claiming that drivers have an outstanding balance.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
The agency is, oh, it does sound sound like somebody
stomach was on fire.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Claiming that drivers have an outstanding balance.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
The agency somebody either farted or their stomach is growling.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
One of the best the George Carlin bits is when
he talked about that like being in the doctor's office
in the waiting room and your stomach starts talking to.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It's got a name. It's called barberimy because that's what
it sounds like.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
And I found out later in life that is actually
actually the scientific name for it.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
When your stomach grumbles, Why what makes your stomach grumble?
I had that on the airplane coming back from Portland,
and even like the you know the guy, people around
me could hear it.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
It's usually if you don't have food in your system,
it's either going to be like water or air. That's
that's through your pipes and that just creates the sounds.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Oh that's great, that's crazy.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Balance the agencies.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I don't know what that was. I don't know what
ending that came out of balance.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
The agency says it does not send text messages to.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
All right, all right, all right, Big Lots. A lot
of people like Big Lots used to be picking save
and they went out of out of business. It's back, baby,
it's bad.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
Has struck a deal that will allow the company to
take hundreds of its stores and distribution centers open filed
for bankruptcy in September.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
They're changing the name of it though. It's not gonna
be Big Lots anymore. I guess they lost the name
of naming rights that Big Lots. It's going to be
called Hoarder's Warehouse. It's not wild Hoarder's Warehouse.
Speaker 8 (04:34):
Saying inflation and high interest rates led to a drop
in sales of home and seasonal products. For more on this,
I want to bring in CBS News Business contributor Javier
da vid So. Javier, A lot of people think big Lots.
I mean I remember shopping there as a kid, my family.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, I remember the shopping there as well. Not my family,
but just you know, picking up some things to hoard.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
It is.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
It's a hoarder's warehouse. It's your You're picking up stuff
that you're eventually going to have in your house and
the sheriff's going to have to come clear it up.
That's what you're picking up there at at the Big
Lots hell. Yeah, were you a big Lots cow? You're
picking shot big Lots? Yeah? My wife loves yeah, big Lots.
So I don't get the whole you know, warehouse. Yeah,
(05:20):
I don't think it looks like a hoarder's warehouse. No, no, okay,
I don't appreciate it. Okay, okay.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
How will this work? And how could this save stores
and jobs?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
So they're doing.
Speaker 9 (05:29):
Something interesting that bankrupt companies rarely do. They're actively trying
to keep stores open. They're striking this deal, and a
big reason why is because they had this private equity
deal that fell through. They were preparing to shutter nearly
a thousand locations. It's a complicated transaction, and then it
involves in transferring property so the retailer's companies. But the
upshot is it'll keep hundreds of stores open in addition
(05:50):
to like a couple of distribution centers.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
You know, are the one in North Hollywood right off
of I don't know, Magnolia and Lancashim somewhere in that area.
That one closed down quite a while ago. But they
used to sell couches at that Big lots? Did they
sell belly your big lots? Do they sell furniture? Yes?
I wonder how nice furniture?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Okay, okay, but I wonder how many times this has
happened where you bought a couch at Big Lots and
then somebody comes over and they sit in it and like, wow,
this is a nice couch.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Where did you get it? How many times did that
person lie all the time?
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Got it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
I got a wig Mathis Brothers.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Yeah, yeah, I got it at Couches Warehouse. Couches Warehouse.
Where is that? Oh it's way out in Palm Springs.
You know, it's too far, you'll never find it or anything,
so don't even look for it. But yeah, we got it.
The couches are us. It has a Big Lots sticker
on it.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Oh, it's my nickname. That's my that's my h that's
my badge for work. You know what else was good
Big lots. It's like pool stuff, pool stuff, Yeah, stuff
for the pool, for lounging at the bar.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, that's good. That's a good pull all right, thing
don't And then they also had candy bars for you know,
regularly eighty nine cents of pavilions. They're like a dime
at Big Lots. And lamps they got good lamps.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And they had they had a really sort of a
not your average carpenter's tool aisle. You know a lot
of really ripped off screwdrivers that don't do anything, that's
true doll.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Their kitchen, uh stuff was good, like the towels and
some plates and like bowls.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Wow, man, this this is big lots, all right, big lots,
big bites, big lots.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Go there.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I told you, I told you I got one more.
You used it.
Speaker 9 (07:57):
It's gonna say thousands of jobs, which is a good time.
You know, you don't want to be out of work
this time of year. So the big picture view was here.
As you mentioned, retail has been struggling, like it's inflation,
it's antibility to find workers, cost structure, a lot of
things that have to do, tough costing.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Sounds like Chuck Barry.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
I just said, he sounds like they changed his voice
to hide his identity.
Speaker 9 (08:21):
At ability to find workers, cost structure, a lot of
things that have to do, tough customers that are hard
to deal with, and people. So that's one of the reasons.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Why it's hard tough.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
Yeah, So all of that said, you know, they just
haven't really found their footing post pandemic, and a lot
of companies are going.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Through this stuff.
Speaker 9 (08:38):
It's like, you know, last week we just said Party
City is shuttering a bunch of stores. So retail just
high inflation, high interest rates, lots of costs, the inability
to keep things together, just really proving a real challenge
for you.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
So this is this guy just says, this is the
reason all these stories are closing.
Speaker 9 (08:56):
You know, last week we just said Party City is
shuttering a bunch of stores. Retail just high inflation, Okay,
high inflation, high interest rates, high interest rates, lots of costs,
the inability.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
To get lots of costs and what to things together,
the inability to keep things together.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
This guy never mentioned that everybody's stealing. Everybody is stealing nowadays.
Everybody is walking out with items that don't belong to them, everybody.
I saw it in Target about about a week ago. Yeah,
about a week ago. I saw it in Target. I
was in a Target, got a cart full of stuff.
He pulled out the wand you know, to get.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Hit the UPC code or whatever that thing is, and
he hit like three things, got a receipt for nine
dollars and walked out the full card to stuff full
and nobody stopped him. And I wasn't going to stop
him because I don't want to get shot. I used
to stop people, but now you get shot doing that.
I don't stop anybody anymore. That's their food, that's their food,
(09:55):
that's their stuff. I don't want to get shot.
Speaker 10 (09:58):
You're listening to Tim Conway. Soon you're on de Mayo
from kf I Am sixty. We have breaking news in
the fast food world. We just heard from Steph Foosh
during the break the taco bell has chicken nuggets and
Steph foos.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Flipped out. They're good. Huh so good? Yeah, yeah, what'd
you get? How would you get? I got the load
up they got.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Well, I wanted to try just to make sure it
wasn't good, So I just got the five piece because
they come in five and ten. Oh, but I'd never
had it before, so I want to make sure that
they were you know, brian, and.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
They coup of sauce on them or sauce on the guy.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Yeah, you can get the sauces they got, like a
Chipotle sauce ranch sauce, uh, sweet and sour. But because
they're so popular, they only have the spicy ones, and
I don't like spicy, so I just had.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
It just by themselves. Oh I see, okay, yeah right,
and is it a limited time only? I know the
cheese fries are limited time. I know they're part of
the menu, now are they? I got some last night. Yeah,
I liked that. And the cheese sauce there is always
really hot, so good I always get.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I didn't know that you could actually just order the
side of cheese by itself.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Oh I don't know that.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
So I got to one time when I was you know,
a little bit to the wind hungry. I got I
got three Dada's Locos taco supreme and three cheese sauces.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Oh my god, it was the best thing I've ever eaten. Wow.
Did you eat in the parking lot or did you
drive and eat?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
H I'm close enough, so I just drove home and
it just scarfed it up once I got Wait, you
have the willpower to keep that bag clothes as you're
driving home? Well, but I don't know. Then I would know.
But I get a road snack, I get fries. I
have something to eat on the way home. Roadkill. I
can't pick up fast food and then drive home with it.
(11:56):
Some people can. I can't do it. I got to
pull into the parking lot get us. I always back
in because I always feel like I'm gonna get robbed.
I gotta get my you know, leave the engine on,
and I'm locked the doors.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I'm ready to roll. Never keep your back to the door.
That's right.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
But I'm gonna try those chicken nuggets on the way home.
I'm gonna get some more tonight.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
They look pretty good. Oh, I gotta look at them now,
I gotta look at it.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I'm really really because they they they debuted a taco
bellcon and so I was like, oh yeah, And then
I didn't know they were available, and I was just
stopping to get a Mexican pizza and there they were,
right there on the menu, and I was like.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You know they have they have the old fashioned toast
ota there now too.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah, they brought back the nineties, eighties, and seventies items
from the.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
All the all the decades. Ahright, I'm looking at all
the nuggets look good. Yeah, they're solid. There are they?
White meat, dark meat, white meat? One hundred Okay, five
piece crispy chicken nuggets featuring all white chicken meat, marinated
and jalapeno buttermilk with tortilla chips. Serve with your choice
(13:03):
of one dipping sauce. I've noticed that a lot of
these fast food places are cracking down on the dipping sauces.
You know, if you go to McDonald's, there's ten pages
of rules of what you can't what constitutes the delivery
of another sauce. You know, you got to meet the
threshold of a certain amount of chicken nuggets, and then
(13:24):
all of a sudden it opens up another sauce.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
And it's so funny because Taco Bell they'll give you
like a mountain of sauces and then they had that
issue where they were out of sauces for about I
think it was like two years ago. Yeah, and they're like, yeah,
if you bring them back, you know, you get like
a dollar off of a taco or something like that.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
You know, Chick fil A used to have the sauces
where you and they were out like on a counter
and you could take your own sauce. You just took
it yourself, and then everybody took advantage of that and
took them home, and so they stopped doing it, and
you got to bite the store. Yeah right now, and
then you have to have to ask them for them
now because some people ruin that. They ruined it, ruined it.
But that's that's a good tip for tonight. You know,
(14:05):
people want a fast meal before they go to their
party or when they're coming home. Try those and they're
not I don't know if they're sponsoring or not. I
don't know if they're they're certainly I don't know if
they're on the station or not by the chicken nuggets.
If Steph fuh says they're good, touchdown, touchdown, Because nobody
knows taco bell better than this lad. Nobody. That's a
(14:29):
compliment do you think it is? I do, yeah, don't
think it as well. All rightlet's get an update on
this time loser who shot up Target last night.
Speaker 11 (14:40):
Allegedly, after about a five hour standoff, police have their
suspect and custody. We're at the corner of seventh and
Big Soul Street. That's just around the corner from where
that shooting took place. And you can see behind me
that the scene is still active. Police officials tweeted the
arrest happened thanks to the partnership of several law enforcement agencies,
including PLICE. Walk the suspect out the front of the
(15:02):
apartment building on Ingram Street after firing tear gas into
the apartment where the suspect was located. This was a
very urgent matter for police. In a press conference this afternoon,
they described the suspect as violent and armed. After the
suspect engaged in what they described as a gunfight with
two security guards at the Target at seventh and fig
Two people were shot in that gunfight. One victim was
(15:26):
a lost Prevention Target employee. They were shot multiple times
and remains in the hospital in critical condition. The other
was an armed security guard who was able to check
out of the hospital today. Police say more than ten
rounds were fired during the incident.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Ah, Man, I don't know how long it takes for
this guy to go back to work, and he's got
to get like a hero's welcome when he gets back.
You know, he stopped that dude from I don't know,
or I don't know what happened, but something happened, but
he got shot. He's protecting Target and the people that
go to Target. There should be a go fundmate for
this guy. Laid down his life for you Target shoppers.
Speaker 12 (16:03):
We've done a tremendous job, the men and women of
recovering guns and arresting violators, but it still happens. But
this particular incident is particularly troubling.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Because it was unprovoked.
Speaker 12 (16:16):
People were doing the lawful duties to detain this individual, There.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Was a lot of people around.
Speaker 12 (16:21):
It appears that the shooting was very indiscriminate. The suspect
far at least five rounds. You know, he could have
shot multiple people in that mall. So this particular individual
has demonstrated just a wanton disregard for human life.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Now, yeah, I think it's on something then, but it
still happens. But This particular incident is crazy incident.
Speaker 12 (16:42):
This particular incident is particularly troubling. This particular incident is
particularly troubling because.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
It was unprovoked. People were doing human life.
Speaker 11 (16:53):
Now we're told, thankfully, that after the tear gas was
fired into the apartment, the suspect did give themselves up
without any contest. Nobody was injured, nobody was hurt, and
the suspect was taken into custy.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
All right, fantastic the long arm of the law. They
got their guy in this case. All Right, we're gonna
take a break.

When we come back, we have fast food trends for
twenty twenty five. I know we talk about fast food
(22:24):
a lot, but most people listening right now either are
eating fast food, going to fast food, or they've had
it today at some point. People love fast food. All
the restaurants, the chicken restaurants, the burgers, the pizzas. Everybody
loves fast food. It's fast and it's good. It's not
(22:45):
good for you, but it's really delicious, all of it,
so good, all of it. All these places it stay
open late just for us losers. It's great and we
thank you for that. So thank you, thank you, thank you,
Wendy McDonald's. You burger king. I was in and out
last night. There was forty cars in front of me.
(23:07):
I could have cared less. There could have been eighty
cars in front of me.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
We I got it with my dad a couple of
days and he's like, we gotta get some in and
out because I think he heard you mention it on
the show and that's how it works. He's like, ever
since he said that, he's like, I had a craig
before we got to get it. After the movies, I'm like,
all right, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
I always time how long it takes, and on Sunday
it was pretty fast. It was twenty seven minutes in line,
but my record, I think is an hour and five
minutes or an hour and seven minutes. And I didn't
care at all. I just sat there, I sit there,
I wait, I wait, I.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Love it all right, Well, we'll come back to the
fast food trends for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
That's cool deal.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty Como show.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Happy New Year to everybody listening right now. I don't
know how many people listening. Maybe if people are going
out to the parties and they're listening, who knows, you know.
I can't really get a feel for how many people
are listening right now. So fast food, everybody loves it,
everybody talks about it.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
You enjoy it. I enjoy it probably too much. And
we have new trends for twenty twenty five. Do you
believe we're already in twenty twenty five? I remember very
clearly when we went y two K went from nineteen
ninety nine to year two thousand, and everybody flipped out
that all the computers are going to shut down and
people are going to flip out. Nothing ever happened, but
(24:35):
people got married really worried about it. Oh crazy. Now
we're twenty five years later, isn't that wild? Twenty five
years later, here's something that's going to make you feel old.
Little Amy Carter, that little tiny girl that was in
the White House with Jimmy Carter, his daughter, beautiful little
(24:57):
girl in the White House as he was president navigating
the politics of the United States and the world. She's
fifty seven years old. Fifty seven stick that in your mind.
All right, fast food, Let's see what's going on with
the fast food.
Speaker 13 (25:18):
After a year of restaurants battling for your business.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Like a king, who's on the budget and the fresh
mix five, the fast food value wars are showing no
signs of slowing down.
Speaker 14 (25:30):
In twenty twenty five.
Speaker 13 (25:31):
The deluge of deals, new offers, even drone deliveries a
response to win back bargain hungry consumers fed up with
sticker shock.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
The patties are smaller and you're paying.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
More forty dollars on fast food Gotta love twenty twenty four,
leading to a two percent drop in foot traffic through
October this year.
Speaker 13 (25:51):
Consermers were absolutely in the driver's seat and a force restaurants,
in particularly fast food restaurants, to respond than they did.
And now experts say that value strategy may be paying off.
What is your word for twenty twenty five? Hopefully does
normal mean good prices for the consumer? Normal means that
there's going to be more sort of permanent value on
(26:13):
the menu. McDonald's announcing that it's five dollars meal deal
will stay on the menu through summer twenty twenty five,
with a new buy one add one option for a
dollar more on other popular items. The Golden Arches also
saying it's investing one hundred million dollars to support franchises
impacted by October's deadly E coli outbreak linked to raw onions.
(26:34):
The CDC says the outbreak is now over. Wendy's has
a free frosty promotion for all of twenty twenty five,
but no timeline yet to test a controversial dynamic pricing model,
which the company says would not raise prices, only lower
them during off peak times.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
The Chicken Dung Donald has just begun.
Speaker 13 (26:54):
Chicken is trending for the new year, raising canes and
wingstop are expected to grow fast. Who veteran Case is
launching a new Sauce Forward spinoff?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
What what does that mean?
Speaker 14 (27:05):
Sauce Forward spin off?
Speaker 13 (27:07):
Even Taco Bell recently get promising more new products in
its most innovative year.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
Ahead a fresh chicken hot off the Grill.
Speaker 13 (27:15):
Chipotle is also adding a new Chipotle Honey Chicken to
its menu in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Do you hear that stuff? Osh? Listen to this, buddy.
Speaker 13 (27:23):
Chipotle is also adding a new Chipotle honey Chicken to
its menu in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Honey Chicken. That does honey Chicken? What's up, buddy?
Speaker 13 (27:32):
Brito chain actually increase sales and customers in twenty twenty
four despite a two percent price hike and backlash overclaims
of skimped portion sizes.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Lately, Chipotle have not hite the same.
Speaker 13 (27:44):
Chipotle quick to respond by bulking back up their meals. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
You know what, Back in the old days, if people
people complained about a business, the business could ignore them.
You can't do that now with social media, not anymore.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Yeah, you get a couple of people complaining, and these
companies will bend over backwards yep, to get that squashed.
Speaker 13 (28:03):
A focus on value that CEO Scott Boatwright promises will
continue in the new year.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
We're to lean into high quality, great tasting ingredients. We're
going to continue to give the consumer.
Speaker 14 (28:13):
Value for the money now.
Speaker 13 (28:15):
Chipotle's former CEO Brian Nichol, was brought over by Starbucks
this year as the coffee chain struggled with sales there. Now,
he says he's planning a big year ahead, including trimming
menu items instead focusing on delivering quality drinks with accurate service,
and he says he's bringing back coffee condiment bars in
the new year. By the way, if you prefer a
booth to the drive through. Dine in chains like Chilis
(28:35):
and Applebee's are also offering their own competing meal deals.
Speaker 14 (28:39):
And I think it will be the year of chicken.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah, I don't know. I think so too. I think
we're always in the Year of chicken, though, I think so.
Speaker 14 (28:46):
I think it will be the year of chicken.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I don't know. I don't like when they say it's
the year of anything. You know, just order what you want.
Doesn't that be the year?
Speaker 14 (28:56):
It's so great throughout that whole thing.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Kiki's like, oh, I'm so over chicken.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
Thing's chicken.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Everybody's getting chicken, chicken, chicken.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
And it's going to be the year of the chicken,
I know. And I saw a reach for a knife.
He was going to kill herself.
Speaker 14 (29:10):
It's a little extreme year.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Sorry, yeah, cutting something else.
Speaker 14 (29:15):
I think it will be the year of chicken.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I mean, she was going to stay up Bellio is
what she was going to do. Problem that would never
happen because you know, what. I don't want to talk
out of school here but our own, our own. Kiki
d got a huge compliment from Tuala. Can I talk
about that on the air without pissing off Tuala? Yeah,
(29:37):
Tuala said, I think what last couple months ago, last month,
last week?
Speaker 1 (29:41):
When did he say that?
Speaker 15 (29:43):
Maybe about a month ago?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
About a month ago? Tuala one of the nicest guys
in the world. I think, the only really honest guy
left in radio. And if if I offended you, sorry,
but he is brutally honest with everything he talked about
his ups, is down and his downs, his challenges, his accomplishments,
(30:05):
and you never know where he is, like you know, politically,
and he's all over the place, and he's a great,
great dad, and he works his ass off. He's had
some physical challenges in his life. He's just one of
the great dudes' ever met my life. And he said
to Kiki, what did he say to you? Kiki?
Speaker 15 (30:24):
He said that he loves it when he can hear
my laugh down the hallways because it makes him.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Happy when you're here with belly. No, he didn't say that, right, Okay,
he said he loves to hear Keiki's laugh. It makes
him feel great, makes him feel happy, and and he
loves that that noise of Kiki's laugh. Kiki, I think
you have a sensational laugh. Don't ever lose that, you know,
(30:50):
don't smoke it away or you know, get kicked in
the throat or whatever. That's a great laugh. Yeah, once
in a while I get kicked in the throat. So
so he said that to Tuala, said that to Kiki.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
And with out skipping a beat, Bellio tried to take
credit for that. Oh we didn't you.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
The reason why she's laughing when he hears her is
because she's here with me. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
He inspires the laughter.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
It never ends with this one.
Speaker 15 (31:21):
But he doesn't hear belli O talk. He hears my laugh.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
That's right, that's right. I'll bet you. That's one of
the reasons Brian like wants to hang with you.
Speaker 14 (31:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Yeah, always having fun, always laughing, keeping it light, never
taking anything seriously. That's what's going on. And then.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Glinda, you're welcome. Is that the good one or the
bad ones? What's the bad one? Alphaba Alphaba alphaba starts up?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Is it really alphaba? Yeah, that's the name of the
bad witch. Yeah, who played the bad Witch in the movie,
Cynthia Arrivo, who played the good Witch Ariana Grande. Oh
how was that? Was that good? I didn't see that.
I enjoyed it. You know what, I think they missed
an opportunity. I was up in Oregon in Washington for Christmas,
and my daughter was really into that. Was it called
(32:18):
Enhanced and Richmond? What was the movie? Wicked? Wicked? Okay,
enhanced or enriched something like that. But that movie was
very popular, and yet I walked into maybe ten stores
and said, Hey, do you have a section here with
Wicked products? Oh? No, we don't have any of that.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Really, Like, there's a lot of girls in this store
around the same age as my daughter, maybe a little younger,
who really liked that movie, and there's no section here
that just sells all that crap.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
No, we don't have anything like that. That's a missed opportunity. Yeah,
I agree with that.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Yeah, you know what, I don't think the studios thought
it was going to be as big as it was,
But that's huge.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I'll bet you balliol next time that movie comes out.
I'll bet your target Walmart maybe Low's, I don't know,
has their own section of nothing but wicked stuff. Yeah,
Low's you can build the sets yourself or something. Yeah,
but it's going to have its own section of the
store Alta or Ultra Alta, Alta Alta, and then that
(33:22):
other one Sapora. Yeah, they're gonna have their own section
of nothing but wicked stuff. So anyway, Happy New Year's
Bellio Crozier, steph Uje, Kiki d of course your first
one married Angel Martinez, whoever the hell she is, Mike Morris,
(33:42):
