Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Here's a tale of two cities.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
I was talking to somebody who owns a house in
Sherman Oaks. They were broken into and they called the
cops and they were broken house was broken into it
at the nine thirty. They end up calling the cops
around nine to forty five, and police showed up.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
At three am. How's that?

Speaker 1 (00:33):
How about that nine thirty they break in or they
discovered it's broken in nine thirty nine five, they call
the police and they showed up at three am. Here,
let me give you the the opposite of that. I
was about six months ago on four am, I heard

(00:57):
somebody breaking in to an office.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
I live on an alley. I know, High End.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
I live on an alley and I heard somebody breaking
into the office that's on the other side of the alley.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
And I could see the guy.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
I'm looking at him, and so I called the cops,
Burbank cops, and I said, hey, I didn't even call emergency.
I called the you know, the direct line to Burbank
because it wasn't emergency.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
You know, nobody was dying.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
It was just a guy breaking into an office and
she said hold him one second. And by the time
she got back on the line with me, which is
about thirty seconds, there was a cop there that it
was about twenty seconds. He must have been in the area,
and he was and arrested him, took him away, and

(01:44):
that was a wrap on that guy. But the other
incident that I had to call Burbank cops, it was
an emergency and it was less than two minutes, and
the chief of police, the former chief, and I think
that the rule still goes in Burbank. If there's an
emergency call code three, which is lights and sirens, and
they don't get there in three minutes, they've got to

(02:06):
talk to the chief the next day and ask and
find out why. So, if you got kids and you
want them protected, and you want your house protected, I
would look into these smaller communities Burbank, Glendale, West Hollywood
is another one, Culver City, Santa Monica. These smaller communities

(02:30):
have their own police force and a lot of the times,
most of the time they're very responsive to the citizens
because a lot of times they also live there as well.
I see Burbank cops. Whenever I go from my house
to the Empire Center, which is five minutes, it's two
maybe three miles, I see cops at least one or

(02:52):
two cars on the way there always. And when I
go to Empire Center, there's always a cop there always.
I don't know if that's a hot bed for people
at borrowing stuff, walking off with stuff, but they're always there.
So if you want quick police response, I would look
into some of these smaller communities, especially if you've got kids.

(03:13):
You got kids and they called nine to one one,
you know you want the cops there asap. So dig
don with those cops Burbank. Ah, they're the best, the
absolute best. All right, let's get in some more news here.
I know we spent a lot of time talking about
Steph Fush, but that was the big story.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
It was the huge story.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
And the second big story over the last couple of
days was the carjacking and the police chase that we
all watched last night. If you're a news junkie like
I am, you watched the police chase last night. The
guy who eventually stole a milk truck and was tooling
through the streets of downtown Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
It was wild.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Eventually getting on a freeway going the wrong way with
a milk truck at night, and then I he ditches
the milk truck under an underpass, hijacks or carjacks a
white pickup truck and then loses the cops, and I
think he's still on the loose. I think he's still
on the loose. So it was wild to see. It

(04:21):
was crazy to watch. And you know, La, we throw
a lot at you. We throw a lot at you.
If you live in Los Angeles, you got to deal
with a lot. I know the weather's great, but everything
after that it's a chore. It's a chore to live here.
We throw a ton of crap at you every day.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
It was a two.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
Hour crime spree that spanned way over seventy five miles
to take a look. It all started in the Antelope Valley.
That's when a man called police around ten o'clock at
night to say two suspects had stolen his Ford F
two fifty truck from Benford Drive in Lancaster. The truck
owners seeing it all happen and immediately jumping in another

(05:03):
car and following them until he told police the suspects
began shooting at him.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Oh my god, what a part of the world we
live in. Guy steals your truck and that's not enough.
He's shooting at you while you're chasing him down.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
The suspects began shooting at him.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
He stopped, then sheriff deputies taking over the pursuit on
the freeway in city streets, at times going the wrong
way on both the five and fourteen freeways in Silmar.
They had a flat tire, and so they tried carjacking
a white sedan and then a big.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Rig driver, both of those drivers.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
Putting it in reverse and getting out of there, and
the suspects moved on to another big rig, the suspects
driving head on into the truck and carjacking the driver
of a tanker that was reportedly carrying milk.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
How about that, guys just driving around milk and he
thinks it's going to be an easy night. No no, no, no,
not in LA, not now. Even the milk truck guy's
potential victim milk.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
The suspects then drove.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
The eighteen wheeler from Silmar to downtown LA where take
a look. They abandoned the milk truck and carjacked yet
another person, this person in a white pickup truck that
pursued ending just before midnight near Mission Road in Caesar
chove Is and take a look the suspects dumping that
white pickup truck.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
They left it running and they ran into the.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Night, getting away at least for now, and the CHP
telling us they later found a gun and ammo in
the first stolen pickup, the one out of Antelope Valley.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
It is believed to belong to one.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Of the suspects, but that is still under investigation.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
So what happened to.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
The two suspects, Well, there are several working theories. One
of them is they phoned a friend and had that
friend pick them up there where they dumped the stolen
white pickup truck.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, I don't know if I have friends like that,
I'd have to go pretty deep in mind rollodecks to say, Hey,
the cops are chasing me. I've got a gun. I
need you to pick me up and meet me at
a certain street in downtown LA. Most my friends, first
of all, the think I was just kidding. Secondly, they
would not do that. They would not come pick me up.
They'd be like, you're on your own buddy, you got

(07:17):
yourself into this.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Good luck. We'll watch it on KKEL.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
Another is they ran into the neighborhood and simply got lost.
The third is they carjacked someone else, someone who didn't
report it.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
It remains under investigation.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yep, busy times, busy Southern California. We throw a ton
of crap at you every single day, whether it's the
water off, whether it's fires. We've got the riots downtown.
We've got a lot going on, the carjacking, the high
speed chases, the street takeovers.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
It's a party in La. There's always something to do.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
And now they're going after these guys who are taking
over intersections, these street takeovers, and the DA's gone ballistic
now and so he's gonna try and throw a lot
of those chaps in jail. You know what, krazier, Just
as I was getting into street takeovers, now they they
try to, you know, crack down on it.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
Isn't that the story of your life, Just as you
start to enjoy something, to get into it exactly way,
or it's taken away.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Just as I was getting the invites to go out
there and enjoy some of these street to take over.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
The hawkming on the phone, get him to explain himself
and see if there's any sort of leverage that he
can use to let you be a part in some way.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, I'd like that taste.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
I like all the action of a of a of
a street takeover by I Never I don't get the
call early enough. Right when I show up, it's all gone,
you know, I don't get out there in time.

Speaker 5 (08:43):
You show up and everybody's speeding away and there's just
a little a little less smoke in the area, like guys, guys.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
And I like.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
I like the addition of the fireworks, you know, commercial
grade fireworks thrown at people while they're doing donuts in the.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Street, Lasers coming out of the windows.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
It's like it's a show. It is a party us.
It's an instant, huge party that's going on.

Speaker 6 (09:04):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am sixty.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
We have our first female umpire Major League Baseball, Jen Powell.
Pawl Powell becomes the first female umpire, which leads me
to the question, when managers get really pissed at the

(09:30):
umpire or players and they're yelling guy to guy, they
use some pretty strong language. I think that language is
going to have to be toned down when you're yelling
at a woman umpire. And there are certain words that
are way, way off limits, and I think you guys,

(09:54):
I'll know what they are. I wonder if some players
will be thrown out and suspended for a week, or
managers for a week or two if they go too
deep in the alphabet. I think you can get away
with A. I don't think B is available. C is
out of the question, and then you can continue on.

(10:18):
But I think there are some words that you cannot
use when yelling at a female umpire.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
As a matter of fact, I'm sure there are.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
I'm sure there are, and that's gonna be a big
controversy once an umpire, once a manager or a player.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Explodes, You're gonna hear it. You're gonna hear all the audio.

Speaker 7 (10:36):
On this routine ground ball, all eyes were on the
umpire making the call.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
First chance for Jenet First, Oh Pizza can.

Speaker 7 (10:43):
Jen Powell becoming the first woman in Major League Baseball
history to work as an umpire during the regular season, Wow,
making her highly anticipated debut during a series between the
Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins.

Speaker 8 (10:56):
This has been incredible to at.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Least she picked a nice, cool game to start either
in Atlanta or Miami in August.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
That should be fun.

Speaker 9 (11:03):
Between the Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
It doesn't matter where that game is. It's miserable.

Speaker 8 (11:08):
It's just been incredible to.

Speaker 7 (11:09):
Lead things off, calling the action at first base then
third base during Saturday's double header.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Jim Powell says Wilson did not.

Speaker 7 (11:18):
Go before running the show on Sunday behind home plate.

Speaker 10 (11:21):
Joey Wentz like zep first call from Jim Powell.

Speaker 7 (11:24):
Fans holding signs, some even wearing umpire masks.

Speaker 10 (11:27):
To cheer her on.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
We took the field, and who's doing that. Who's bringing
an umpire mask to cheer on the umpires? Nobody?

Speaker 9 (11:37):
Some even wearing umpire masks to cheer her on.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Nobody's doing that.

Speaker 5 (11:41):
We took the field and it seemed like quite a
few people had started clapping and saying my name and stuff.

Speaker 8 (11:48):
So that was pretty intense and very very emotional.

Speaker 7 (11:52):
It's a landmark achievement that has been years in the making.
In twenty sixteen, she became just the seventh woman ever
to call professional baseball games.

Speaker 9 (12:00):
When she started in the minor leagues.

Speaker 7 (12:02):
The lifelong athlete turned up fine tuning her skills, and
that one is.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Called by the third base off fire Jim Powell.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
She's climbed all the ranks. She was a triple A creuchie.

Speaker 7 (12:12):
She did spring training games in twenty twenty four, so
every checkbox has been checked.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
There you go. She worked a way up. Deserves it.

Speaker 7 (12:20):
Powell joins in a lead club of female referees and
umpires in other major sports, including the NBA and NFL,
like her friend Sarah Thomas, who became the first woman
to officiate a Super Bowl. In twenty twenty, the Miami
Marlins made Kim ag their general manager, the first woman.

Speaker 9 (12:36):
To hold the position.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Wait, wait what?

Speaker 7 (12:38):
In twenty twenty, the Miami Marlins made Kim Aang their
general manager.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Oh, their general manager. Okay, okay, there hasn't been a
manager yet, but we're getting there.

Speaker 7 (12:46):
The first woman to hold the position in any of
the four major sports leagues. That same year, A Listen
Nakin became the first woman hired as a full time coach.

Speaker 10 (12:54):
A historic night in the booth on the broadcast.

Speaker 9 (12:57):
Now from calling the action on TV to the field itself.

Speaker 7 (13:01):
And then safe for first women are making a mark
in the majors.

Speaker 8 (13:07):
Let's just feel for the fire.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
We go out there and work harder tonight, harder tomorrow,
and keep it going.

Speaker 7 (13:12):
If you want to see a piece of history from
Jen Powell's debut, you can head to the Baseball Hall
of Fame in Cooper's Down, New York. Jen donated the
hat she wore on Saturday during her first game.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Because now that is some sports history for you.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
I need a little more, a little more of sports history.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Yeah, then stopping at Jen's hat, Hey, mom, mom.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
What is that first female umpire's hat?

Speaker 7 (13:41):
Well?

Speaker 1 (13:41):
What is this over here? That's babe roots bat. Oh,
let's go see that Jen Powell's hat. God, I can
imagine the crowd around that.

Speaker 11 (13:51):
God.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Yeah, your bomb press first hat. It's unbelievable. It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
In other news, when it comes to women's sports, did
you see what they're doing in the WNBA?

Speaker 2 (14:02):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (14:03):
They're now putting a net around the entire court on
all thirteen cities, the dill Do net.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Is that what they're calling it? Yeah, that's what they're
calling Maybe they can get a sponsor. That sounds like
gonna be like a hockey rink where you know.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
Pucks can't go fly, but in this way the other
that's right, So players not pucks, but players can't get
hurt by the h you know, flying dildos.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
It is hysterical. I don't care what you say.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
A guy's throwing dildos at the WNBA players. I if
they guaranteed one the next Sparks game, I'd pay six
hundred dollars a seat.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
They're gonna need somebody like at the circus when they
used to have somebody with the.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Shovel follow the elephants. They're gonna need to hire somebody
to go out on the court.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
Their gloves and some tongs, right and pick it up
like it's a dying baby bird.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
You know, very gentle.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
But yeah, they by middle of this month, no end
of this month, beginning of September, all thirteen dill donuts.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
I'll be up to protect the players. Now they're not.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
How do they protect the audience because that's still going
to fall hit the net and then hit some kid
in the She's gonna fall down and hit the front row. Yeah,
and uh, you know kids are gonna have to deal
with that. By the way, if you have a nine
year old or a ten year old kid. You're taking
a WNBA, how do you explain what just happened in
front of you me?

Speaker 8 (15:35):
What's that?

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah? Why they stop the game for that green toy?

Speaker 8 (15:38):
Yeah? What's that?

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Ask your mother? Hey mom? How about the giveaways? The
bubble is.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Yeah, the tiny bobble had us because.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
Little ones said you used to wind up and walk
around on the table.

Speaker 10 (16:03):
Like the chattering teeth.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
I've never seen bellios sit there with their arms closed,
just staring at us.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
That's great.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
That is not a look of happiness like the chattering teeth.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Look.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Honestly, God, if I if they guaranteed every Sparks game,
there would be some like one or two dildos thrown
at the players. Buying tickets to season seats season seats,
and you got to get there early in case it's
an early dildo early toss.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
People bring their own nets or maybe they you know,
maybe they honor the players by throwing out the first one,
you know, like a first pitch in baseball.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
People bring gloves like they catch and fly balls. They
are hey, Jimmy, do you bring your dild glove? And
then the mom's like what what?

Speaker 7 (17:05):

Speaker 5 (17:55):
Talking about whether or not taxes get taken out, and
I was just looking it up from GoFundMe. It says

Oh my god, you know everything's gone, every car's gone,
everything in his car.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
I still hear.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
Hearing the stories from the two guys today talking about
how pulling him out of the car, and he's just
apologizing and saying he needs to get in touch with
Bellio and the station.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
It's just it's heartbreaking. It is remarkable. This guy's alive.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
If you missed any part of it, we have the
two of the heroes that saved Steph Fusch's life.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
Unbelievable audio from these guys, both of them. Stories, unbelievable stories.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
So if you missed it four to four forty five
on the podcast all Right, fast food an indicator of
how the economy is going, what direction it's going in?

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Not that great.

Speaker 6 (19:11):
Now to sell to some fast food giants, Rebecca, what
are the latest numbers that these fast food giants can't net?

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (19:18):
One of the really telling signs right now, Michael, is
that people are skipping breakfast out and eating out, especially
in the morning. Is one of the first things people
cut back on when they are financially stretched. We've been
hearing from a lot of fast food giants recently, including Wendy's, KFC,
Pizza Hut, and Popeyes.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Oh those are all great, including Wendy's.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Wendy's is fantastic, KFC, Pizza AFC is great.

Speaker 13 (19:42):
See Pizza Hut and Popeyes four winners who all say
same store sales were down from the first three months
of the year. The good news here for consumers, McDonald's
is showing some signs of improvement because they are rolling
out some new value and menu offerings That essentially means
more value menus, more menu offerings for people out there

(20:05):
who are looking for that better discount, that better opportunity.

Speaker 14 (20:08):
That is good to know. I think the breakfast is
actually the easiest meal to make at home too. Yeah,
I mean no, that's the case.

Speaker 8 (20:17):
I welcome.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
I disagree with that. Where she said at home too, yeah,
I mean, wait, would she say here.

Speaker 14 (20:24):
Breakfast is actually the easiest meal to make.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
I disagree with that if you ever tried to. You know,
eggs are very tough, you know, over eas you can
always pop those and those go in the trash. Hash
Browns are impossible to make. Oh my god, I made
hash browns last night. Yes, they're impossible. I mean, you
don't know whether there's things itself pretty decent at cooking,
me too, and I can't cook my daughter hash browns.

(20:46):
I don't know whether they're burning on the bottom. It's
all a timing issue completely. And then if they're started frozen,
you got to have, you know, allow more time. And
if there's you know, you got to put more oil.

Speaker 5 (20:56):
Or more butter right heat Otherwise, Yeah, sticks on the bottom,
and then you raping crap off.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Exactly, hash browns are impossible to make. You know what
the easiest meal to make is lunch? It's a sandwich.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
I would say breakfast is the most difficult meal to
make because it requires you getting out of bed.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, exactly, it's by far the most And so she's
lying to everybody in this story.

Speaker 14 (21:20):
Breakfast is actually the easiest meal to make.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
It's not true. That's a lie that's coming from liars
who are lying to everybody. Lying liars, Yeah, lying, liars
are lying to you. That's the hardest meal to make.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
It is.

Speaker 14 (21:33):
Breakfast is actually the easiest meal to make.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
It's not not even clothes.

Speaker 5 (21:36):
Maybe she's just counting the people who like pour a
bowl of cereal yeah, or grab a pop tart, don't
even heat it up, just hint the road, or a
donut that's a snack.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Or skip breakfast.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Yeah, yes, that's the yes, belly. Oh now you're onto
it all right, that's it. That's okay, that's good gold
a good start. A chucky she's a woman gets stuck
in one of these stupid you know machines, claw machines.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
I think right.

Speaker 12 (22:07):
Maybe you've heard of people getting stuck on a favorite
arcade game, but one young lady at this Chucky Cheese
and Burbank found out the hard way. You can also
get stuck in one as well, and if that happens,
you can expect plenty of people with cell phones around
to capture it. This was posted to the Citizen app
around three pm Thursday, A still unidentified woman inside the

(22:29):
snow Day game console on her knees, her right hand,
stuck in.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
A hole trying to get some freebies.

Speaker 12 (22:37):
Burbank firefighters took twenty two minutes to freer. So how
did this happen? Good question, but the answer is not
that clear. We did, however, find some social media eclips
showing how the game is supposed to be played. You
get inside the little chamber, small colored balls drop down
on you from the ceiling, and while you race a timer,
you put as many of those balls into that.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
Hole as you can.

Speaker 12 (23:00):
We don't know if she drops something in there, or
if she was reaching for one of the balls but
her arm was not budget.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Would you try the game?

Speaker 8 (23:08):
Well, yeah, if it's working.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
We bumped into march arm stuck in the game. Is
that what happened?

Speaker 12 (23:14):
Is coming out of chuck E Cheese this afternoon, and
we showed him the video.

Speaker 8 (23:17):
But I'm not gonna stick my hand in that hole.

Speaker 12 (23:20):
A look inside the restaurant today shows the game.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Is this guy talking about Chuckie Cheese, but.

Speaker 8 (23:25):
I'm not going to stick my hand in that hole.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
In a WNBA game, that different story, but I'm.

Speaker 8 (23:30):
Not going to stick my hand in that hole.

Speaker 12 (23:33):
A look inside the restaurant today shows the game out
of commission with technicians attempting to repair it.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, you know what they need to do.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
They need to call Jonathan Gary and Kenyatti Hubbard. Get
that woman out of there. You're stuck in that Another
arm stuck get those heroes, Chuckie Cheese, get her out
of there.

Speaker 12 (23:53):
The pizza chain did not respond to our request for comment,
but told People Magazine the game's design prevents children's arms
from reaching the area in question. There was no injury
to the young adult or any children, and the family
continue to enjoy an.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Evening of fun.

Speaker 12 (24:08):
Snow Day is manufactured by a company called Coastal Amusements,
based in Lakewood, New Jersey. We contacted them today to
find out they had any comments. We're glad there were
no serious injuries, said company president Michael Dean.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
What else are you going to say, But he.

Speaker 12 (24:23):
Added, there are hundreds of these games in Chuck e
cheeses throughout the country, and we've never seen something like
this happen before. In the meantime, that video has gone viral.
Perhaps the only saving grace for the young lady is
that she's facing away from the camera.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
You know, there are a lot of benefits of having kids.
The Chuck E Cheese visit is a lot of fun
when they're tiny, but as they get older, they you know,
they pull away from Chuck E Cheese and then you
have your last what you know is your last Chuck
e cheese event. Yes, you know they're not interested in
the games. The piz moment, Pizza's average is.

Speaker 5 (24:59):
A time when when you walk out that door, it
is your final time walking out of those and you
know it.

Speaker 15 (25:05):
You do.

Speaker 5 (25:06):
You're like, oh, they weren't that? That was my coda?

Speaker 2 (25:11):
No more, Chuck E Cheese. That's a wrap. Did you
see the machine that she was stuck in. No, it's
like a tube.

Speaker 5 (25:18):
It's pretty clear, and you do you step inside the
whole thing and shut it up, shut it down, shut
the door. And you're kind of trapped in there because
it's like you know, balls that come down and you're
trying to grab and put them in this little hole
and it's it's a weird sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Yeah, I will give Chuck E Cheese this.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
I love their security where my daughter had a handstamp
and I had one, and then as we were leaving,
both hand stamps had to match before we left the building.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yeah, I think it's a good idea.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
I mean, I don't know how you know people are
going to work their way around that bring your own handstamp.
I guess I don't even thought about that. But they
do have pretty good security. They're a chuck e cheese.
I enjoyed it. I like the pizza, I like the games,
but I get it. When it's over. It's over and
mine ended about ten years ago. Hm W, no more

(26:09):
cheese tonight, kids.

Speaker 6 (26:11):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
This portion show is being brought to you by Advanced
Hair one day treatment, life changing results. Make your appointment
today at Advanced Hair dot com. Cracker Barrel, A lot
of people enjoy that Cracker Barrel good food. Well, what's
the reaction to the huge makeover, the modern makeover at
Cracker Barrel. People into it to find out what the
hell crackle Cracker Barrel.

Speaker 16 (26:38):
For over fifty years, Cracker Barrel has been serving up
a slice of frosted country to suburbia.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Homestock cooking, Oh yes, brings family together.

Speaker 16 (26:47):
That's right between the rocking chairs, the old tiny gift shop.
In those biscuits and gravy, Southern comfort has always been
on the menu carried Cracker.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
Barrel, Old country store.

Speaker 14 (26:58):
Can we keep Barbertine so you can get out of yours?

Speaker 16 (27:01):
But a new change to that nostalgic routine is stirring
the pine over look around.

Speaker 8 (27:06):
Wow, look how bright it is.

Speaker 16 (27:08):
Our select number of stores undergoing a redesign for a
more modern field.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
That's why you go to Cracker Barrel because it's not modern.
You know, it's old time, old time. It's like going
to nats Very Farm to have a dinner. We've got
all new lighting, new seating, new tables and chairs.

Speaker 16 (27:24):
This video is from a Tennessee location posted last August,
just now going viral.

Speaker 10 (27:29):
While some are embracing the change.

Speaker 5 (27:31):
With pink colors just so much louder and often just.

Speaker 16 (27:34):
So much better, others argue the remodel chips away at
that southern charm.

Speaker 11 (27:39):
But the inside remodel Cracker Barrel for real, you're losing
your feel well.

Speaker 10 (27:45):
Cracker Barrel is set only I can't.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Make everybody happy. First guy loved it.

Speaker 10 (27:50):
Others argue the remodel.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
This guy loved it.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
Pink colors just so much louder and often just so
much better.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Man, That guy's definitely a Cracker Barrel customer.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
But this guy didn't like it.

Speaker 11 (28:01):
The inside remodel Cracker Barrel for real, you're losing your
feel well.

Speaker 16 (28:06):
Cracker Barrel is said only about thirty if it's six
hundred plus restaurants will get a full remodel.

Speaker 3 (28:12):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
There's six hundred more than six hundred Cracker barrels.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Wow.

Speaker 16 (28:17):
In a statement, the chain says, feedback from both guests
and team members has been overwhelmingly positive.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
That's cool, all right. People like it. People are not
into change, but they warm up.

Speaker 16 (28:26):
To it, adding the strong performance of these locations of
firms that we are moving in the right direction. In
an interview last summer, Cracker Barrels CEO telling CNBC the
transformation is part of a multi year brand refresh.

Speaker 7 (28:39):
Our goal is to take what people love about Cracker
Barrel and open the aperture a little bit so that
more people love Cracker Barrel.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
So we want to appeal to all generations.

Speaker 10 (28:48):
Here you go, cooking up a new look is all
the rage.

Speaker 16 (28:51):
Denny's, Popeye's, Burger King all getting modern makeovers with sleek exteriors,
brighter dining rooms, and high tech features like these self
service kiosks and burger Kings, newly remodeled Sizzle stores.

Speaker 15 (29:03):
You don't want it.

Speaker 10 (29:05):
The sizzle stores.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
I don't know what that is. Sizzle store.

Speaker 15 (29:09):
You don't want to eat somewhere where the carpet is
from the nineteen eighties. The look and feel of a restaurant,
because the customers are spending money going there, that's right,
is vital.

Speaker 16 (29:19):
Across the country, restaurant chains have been struggling, with Hooters,
TGI Fridays, and Bread Lobster all filing for bankruptcy in
the past year.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Going to miss all three with Hooters.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Hooters was a great place to go, Great wings at Hooters.

Speaker 16 (29:33):
TGI Fridays, and Red Lobster all filing for bankruptcy in
the past year. A recent survey also found nearly seventy
percent of consumers say they're eating at home more often,
so we.

Speaker 10 (29:43):
Have all of our great core here.

Speaker 16 (29:46):
While Cracker Barrels has some refreshed look, industry experts say
it's a gamble catering to changing appetites without leaving a
bad taste in the mouths of loyal customers. I love
to go somewhere where the food is good, but the
atmosphere has to be good too.

Speaker 8 (30:00):
I don't want to eat some report.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Damn sounds like that, lady. I like the food, I
like the prices.

Speaker 15 (30:06):
Now.

Speaker 17 (30:06):
In a statement, Cracker Barrel says there are hundreds of
restaurants in their chains, and there's over six hundred chains
across the country, hundreds that will not get a full makeover.
But it is still unclear what their multi year plan
will fully look like. But guys, the CEO told CNBC
last summer and has reassured that those rocking chairs are
not going anywhere neither. Oh thank god, we know how

(30:28):
that is the number one thing that we are hearing about.

Speaker 10 (30:30):
People care a lot about those rocking.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
All right, we gotta get out of here. Mo Kelly
is coming up next. He's gonna have an update on
steph Uche and what a couple of days it's been
for that man. I know he's in a lot of pain.
So if you're listening, steph USh will welcome you back
shortly and take as much time as you need and
get better.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Buddy.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Well let's see soon. Mo Kelly's Hoole crew up next
right here. I AM six forty Conway Show on demand
