Mark Thompson dives into some of LA’s biggest political stories, starting with Mayor Karen Bass’s new interview with Telemundo, where she defends her leadership and hints at legal tensions with the feds. Then, Mark turns his focus to Gavin Newsom’s headline-grabbing trip to South Carolina, calling out the California governor’s not-so-subtle 2028 presidential ambitions. Later, Mark welcomes in-studio guest Steve Broda, the founder of Truc-Ya — a new app dubbed the “Uber for large haul trips.” Finally, the hour wraps on a delicious note as Mark and Stef Foosh celebrate the return of snack wraps to McDonald's after nearly a decade off the menu.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's kf I Am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You see, the FBI is using polygraph tests now to
test the loyalty of the officials working at the FBI.
We should a little loyalty test around here. Some senior
officials who have taken the test have been asked whether
they said anything negative about the FBI director Cash.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
But tell wow, pretty wild.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
They're asking senior employees whether they've had anything negative to
say about FBI management. Polygraphs a big part of the
loyalty test now in Washington. The thing about Cash Betel,
now he's on that whole Epstein thing. He said he
was going to release the files, and he said that
they have to be released, and there is a cover
(00:52):
up going on. Well, now he runs FBI, and now
he's not releasing the files. So he finds himself in
an interesting spot. Ina, it's Karen Bass who finds herself
in an embattled position. She's taking on the federal government.
I mean more and more. It's really the mayor of
La versus the Feds. And all of this news is
(01:14):
coming as LA is going to be hosting major events,
eight World Cup matches in twenty twenty six, then the
Olympics and the Paralympic Games in twenty twenty eight. Karen
Bass gave an interview during which she covered some of
where she sits and her disposition toward ICE and the
(01:37):
FEDS in La Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Mayor Karen Bass now in the middle of a fight
between her sanctuary city and the White.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
House coming in and enforcing immigration law. I dispute how
they're doing it. I dispute, frankly, that they're doing it
at all when they just snatched people off the street.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Now they declared itself a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants back
in twenty nineteen, prohibiting the LAPD from aiding in immigration
enforcement actions, a position that is now being challenged by
the US Department of Justice.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well, in addition to that, you are left in a
weird position because, as we've mentioned before, the LAPD may
show up to make sure that there is no confrontation
between protesters, between activists, and between ICE enforcement enforcement agents.
That is to say, they're trying to, you know, stave
off some kind of trouble, but they're not supposed to
(02:32):
help in that ICE enforcement action. So that's sort of
where there has been the gray area. Is the presence
of the cops in any way helping the ice raid happen.
I mean I would say no. I mean they're there
to make sure that there's no trouble from protesters, et cetera.
(02:53):
But I can see where some of the stuff washes
together anyway. That is oftentimes the situation where it kind
of gets a little dicey.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Apartment of Justice claiming the sanctuary law resulted in violence
against federal officers.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, that's what they're doing. They're saying in Washington, this
is the federal case right that this sanctuary city law
in LA is resulting in injuries.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Prohibiting the LAPD from aiding in immigration enforcement actions, a
position that is now being challenged by the US Department
of Justice claiming the sanctuary law resulted in violence against
federal officers last month in the civic center. Borders are
Tom Homan on Fox News.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
These nuts that want to take it beyond protests into
criminal activity.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
They're getting rhetoric from the members of Congress.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
The mayor pledge is not to abandon these sanctuary moniker.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I can promise that, but I don't control the courts,
and so there is a scenario in which the courts
overturn our policy. Now I hope that doesn't happen. There
is limits to what I can do as mayor. The
federal government does have the power to do what the
administration did in terms of coming in and enforcing immigration law.
(04:07):
I dispute how they're doing it.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
LA has joined seventeen other states and seven other local
LA County cities in their own lawsuit against the administration,
arguing ice raids are unconstitutional, alleging racial profileing and excessive
use of force.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Who people have been abandoned by is the federal government,
not the local government, and not the state government.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
All this taking place with the city preparing not just
for the twenty twenty eight Olympics, but next year's World Cup.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
The World Cup is going to be in eleven different cities,
but eight of the games are going to be played here.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Well, don't though immigrants play those World Cup games. Those
are more people we can wrap up. We'll teach them. Yeah,
what is that soccer? Or soccer? Players?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Football? Mark football? Put those cleats on and run into
that van.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
So I want to send a message to the world
that the world is welcome to come to Los Angeles
with the caveat that we need the cooperation from the
federal government.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I hate welcomes that have a caveat associated.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
With them, just to come to Los Angeles with the
caveat that we need the cooperation from the federal government
because the federal government controls immigration.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Are we really going to be doing this dance in
a year? Are we really going to be doing this
dance next year? I mean, this is just ridiculous, isn't it.
I mean, it just it's disruptive. We've talked about what's
done to downtown businesses and downtown businesses that were already suffering.
We have our own problems in LA without having to
add this, but this is wildly destabilizing. There's got to
(05:41):
We've got to get to a cruising altitude before next year.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Clearly, the mayor and other Democratic office holders are hoping
that public opinion will drive the administration into changing course
on this issue. With people recoiling from some of the
images they've seen of those being arrested by Immigration and
Customs and Force, it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Is hard to believe that they're arresting some of these
people and getting rid of like that high school kid
I told you about. She's in a high school honor student,
she just graduated, she runs track, she's everything great. You know,
he's a great immigration story. She's been here since she
was five or something, and she and her mom, they
(06:21):
wrapped them up and sent them to I believe in
their case it was Guatemala.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Believe that's right.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Anyway, the idea somehow that we're still going to be
doing this and that this whole region is going to
be roiling from this next year, it just won't wash.
I mean, you cannot reasonably expect the California economy to
in any way sustain itself through this. So in addition
(06:52):
to La California is going to have to find its
way through this. And you know, we had the raid
today at the pot growing place up there Mario, and
that is a sign of something that they've talked about,
raids at the agricultural businesses that line the Central Valley.
(07:14):
I mean, could that really happen. That'll be wildly destabilizing
to the California economy. And at the same time, California
is sort of in this adversarial relationship with Donald Trump
and his administration. Homan and all the rest Christy Nome
here to liberate us.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I mean, these are.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
These are policies that are being put into place in
a heavy handed way for a reason. And all I'm
saying is, if we're still sitting here doing this in
a year, there's been a problem. This water has to
reach a certain level. And I'd say that the way
things are going right now, it's part theater, it's part
heavy handedness. Deliberately, it's i think designed to get people
(07:58):
to self deport as well as designed to actually ramp
up the deportations.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
They want.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Three thousand a day is what we've heard from Stephen Miller,
who's heading this whole thing up. And so they'll have
to keep it going. I mean, they'll really have to
keep it cranked up in order to hit those numbers.
But obviously the mayor is trying to split the baby
a bit. She's trying to be both, i think, expressing
(08:26):
an allegiance to a sanctuary city protection that may not
hold up in court, and she's also trying to represent
for her city and also do things that would suggest
we're going to get this tucked away before the World
Cup events, before the Olympics. And then lastly, I would
(08:48):
say Trump loves the fact that this is a Newsome country,
so he can go after California and make an example
of California, make life difficult for Californians, be disruptive here
in California because it is political water that Newsom takes on.
(09:10):
So these are all things too, I think put into
the blender of immigration policy and political policy because it's both.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Anyway, that's the latest from the mayor. When we continue,
what's happening next, Matt, I've lost.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Track Newsome campaigning in South Carolina. I love it.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Newsom is a hunk in South Caroline. You see this,
They see him as a hunk. He comes in like
a like a rock star. In South Carolina, we're over him,
see I mean, familiarity breeds contempt. But in South Carolina
he's dreamy. We'll give you the details next.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I neglected last hour to realize that Angel is here
with us today.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
She was out yesterday.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
So he played that whole game that is now the
talk of the building without poor Angel. She is here,
and so Angel, I want to pledge to you that
you will be included, and any further around the horn
kind of games, quizzes or other feedback related issues.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I'm making that pledge to you now.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
And I'm sure now she's doing a traffic update for
some other station and didn't even hear that. And that's
the beauty of iHeartMedia. That's the beauty of angel. That's
she's doing it for like M one O five or
one whatever.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Why. I have no idea. Maybe she just shut you
out because she was Oh, that could be. I like that.
I like that narrative much more.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Gavin Newsom is in South Carolina, the gateway to the
Democratic nomination two days of South in California, a southern
southern South Carolina campaigning from southern California, and some see
him as a charismatic ray of hope and others see
(11:11):
him as a typical California Democrat.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
I had the opportunity to talk to this as South
Carolina business owner said she was proud to have the
governor in her shop, even as one Republican leader there
said he wanted Newsom out.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Of his state.
Speaker 9 (11:25):
We were gonna have a small We're gonna have a
cup of coffee, Madam Mayor that's what you promise, Governor
Gavin Newsom engaging voters and posing for pictures inside this
coffee shop not in California, but thousands of miles away
in South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, there was a reaction to him from the ladies
that I hadn't anticipated. Kind of got a kind of
a rock and roll sort of reaction out of some
of the ladies in the coffee shop.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 9 (11:53):
I come from the small, little isolated state out there.
Speaker 10 (11:56):
In the West, and when he in, it was just
like I knew him.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
For like ten years. Andrew. Ah, it's a love connection,
is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
And when he.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Come in, it was just like I knew him for
like ten years.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I've never had that in my relationship. That's what Newsom has.
It's that special something.
Speaker 11 (12:22):
Andrina Mullins is the owner of Little Jazzy's Cafe in Florence,
South Carolina, and hosted this Newsom visit. The business owner,
who says she's politically neutral, also sees a country in
need of change. What kinds of things are on your
mind as a business owner about what you feel the
country needs.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I'm going to top it off with one word. We
need love.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Newsom did not feel the love of all sid I
think I've met my soulmate.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
She's in South Carolina. I'm going to top it off
with one word, we need luve.
Speaker 11 (12:54):
She did not feel the love of all South Carolinians.
Republican Attorney General Alan wille who is running for governor,
issued his statement, reading, in part, we don't need Gavin
Newsom's twisted version of America in the Palmetto State.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
There you go, that's the America that I know, right.
Speaker 11 (13:10):
On, twisted version of America in the Palmetto State. In
your view, why South Carolina for this visit?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Simple math.
Speaker 10 (13:20):
It's probably going to be the first state to cast
votes for the Democratic presidential candidate next time around.
Speaker 11 (13:26):
Democratic strategist Steve Maviiglio, who's often a critic of Newsom,
says Newsom is starting an early ground game in the
important primary state.
Speaker 9 (13:34):
I grew up in a place called Dutch Flag, California.
Speaker 11 (13:36):
Newsom described growing up in rural Plasar County to these
South Carolina voters.
Speaker 9 (13:42):
That night, Plaser County, California.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
It's about the reddis county in America.
Speaker 10 (13:47):
He's trying to diss himself from his San Francisco roots,
because having that label around you makes you seem like
an extreme liberal, and that doesn't bode well for his
future political abspirations.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I'm just happy to have a governor here.
Speaker 11 (14:01):
Davin Newsom's next political move? Is this the prelude to
a presidential campaign.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I'm deeply humbled by the way I did reach out
to that.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Well, I mean, yeah, it's obviously a prelude. He's not
going to South Carolina for any other reason. I think
he'd admit it, wouldn't he.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
By the way, I did reach out to the governor's
office to ask who.
Speaker 12 (14:21):
Is paying for this trip.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
They referred me to his political team, who did not
respond to my request for that information. The esp though,
did respond saying they in fact are there with him.
They are responsible for the governor's security in and out
of California.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Well that's yeah, that's a little bit of a red herring.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
But I think that the idea that he goes to
South Carolina first and he's open about it, is that
associated with the math. I mean, that's the thing that
supercharged Biden. He got that green light from Clyburn down
in South Carolina, and that made him all of a
sudden a much more viable can and went on to
win the nomination and win the presidency. So Newsom's done
(15:04):
that same sort of arithmetic. I mean, it's a weird thing.
We've become even more divided in that time. And it's
I want to say, fun but interesting to watch Newsom
try to be both things, you know, both the California
liberal values that he espouses regularly and also sort of
(15:26):
be that down home country kid who grew up in
Placer County. You know, I feel right at home here
in South Carolina. It reminds me of my childhood. And
to be fair, I've read a lot of political punditary
out of South Carolina and one of the things that
people like about Gavin Newsom is they kind of defends
a lot of the liberal values. But again, some of
(15:50):
those liberal values are used against him in some of
these states, like South Carolina. But as he seeks the nomination,
remember this is what this whole thing is about. Trying
to get the nomination, it will be a question of
selling his bona fytis, you know, his cred. He's going
(16:11):
to have to have political cred in places like South Carolina.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
So interesting to see him do so.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Well there he can probably drink coffee for free from
that one lady there. She seemed pretty taken with him.
He has a kind of rock star quality, you know.
I know we see him because he's at the dinner
table every night here. It's familiarity breeds contempt, you know
what I mean. He seems slick to us, he's too smooth,
(16:40):
whatever it might be. But to some of these folks,
like that lady who owns the coffee shop, she likes him.
He's dreamy. And that's the word on Gavin Newsom when
we come back in studio, the guy who created Uber
for truck. It's a new app, truck Ya, as I say.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Already downloading it. We'll have the founder next.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
You're listening to Tim conwaytoon You're on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Such a pleasure to welcome an entrepreneur into the studio,
Steve Broda, Wow, you've done it, my friend. Truck Yeah
is the app. It's truc dash ya like truck you right,
I mean that's the idea, right, tell me about truck ya.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
It really is sort of like Uber.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
The pitch is you know, originally Uber was to so
many of those who were driving town cars and they
were they had downtime, and to use that downtime, they
could actually join Uber and the app would then hook
you up with somebody who needed a ride, and you
now use that downtime to make money.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yes, this is sort of that same thing.
Speaker 13 (18:00):
It's what I'm just girls and guys with truck It's
the same thing with girls and guys with trucks. Basically,
if you're on the road and you get you get
hit by a ping on your phone. If you have
the app and someone needs something moved, whether it's from
Craigslist or offer up or costco at an office, I
(18:21):
mean you can. I was laying in bed thinking all
the ways that you can use the app and how
people can make some money off of it, and it's actually,
you know, I'm not really here to make a million dollars.
I'm here to help people basically, and that's why I
did it. And you know, seventy percent gross for the
(18:42):
drivers is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Oh wow, that's really good.
Speaker 13 (18:45):
If you can pick something up in fifteen minutes and
drop off like I did a deal up in Palmdale
for a couch from a thrift store, picked it up
he helped me put it in the back of the truck,
took it to his house and that was forty nine
to do it, and then he gave me what a
ten dollars tip. So sure, so in fifteen minutes, that's
pretty good mine.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah, that's that's not bad.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
You know, who is actually on our crew who drives
for Uber and Lyft is a stuff foushe and Steph
is a very he's very what conscientious I get must
be there, like he's very serious about it, you know.
And it seems to me like this is the sort
of thing that again would attract people who have got
(19:27):
a truck. These are pickup trucks, these aren't. You're not
looking for eighteen wheelers here, right.
Speaker 13 (19:31):
No, we're looking for regular personally owned trucks and insurance
and the people itself. You know, the thing is with
businesses itself, they have a lot of overhead with their
own trucks that they have to lease or they have
to do that, you know, so forth they can start
using truck yeah, and start using you know, part time
or whatever. If they find a driver they like, they
(19:51):
can definitely keep them because the drivers are on the
app and you can pick any driver that you want.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, I've got the app right here. It's wild. You know,
it's pretty simple. It's sort of like a like an uber,
right you just yeah.
Speaker 13 (20:03):
Sec an uber. There's it's a little bit different. Of course,
we don't put the people inside the truck and take
them with us. Just the items and then the items
are that you take a picture of the item, and
then once the item gets to the destination, then you
take another picture of it just for liability reasons to
make sure that they get and and and get their package.
But also it has an O OTP is.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
It o TP or OTP, right?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I know o PP you and you know me, I
don't know o TP OPT.
Speaker 13 (20:37):
Number pops up.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (20:39):
And then that way, when the customer has the OPT number,
you know that the driver has that number when he
shows up, you know that's the guy that's Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
So this is something that you were germinating about, thinking about,
sort of just ruminating about back before COVID or is
it COVID that will.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Frind of the when did this get birthed?
Speaker 13 (21:01):
Right right before COVID unbeknounced to me, But sitting there
as a salesman and in Bobby Wayne's rv UH selling
r v's sure and sitting there waiting for the next
sale to pop up.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I'm going, you know what, be a good idea?
Speaker 13 (21:17):
And I thought about this because this app actually you
can do toes with it too, So you can tow
a fifth wheel. I should get somebody with a fifth
wheel hitch that signs up. They can tow small distances.
I want to do this local, not far distances. But
if you want to do far, if you got if
you want you can do this, you can do it
(21:37):
far as well.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Now, how does that pricing work?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
If you're going from here to there and there is
a long way or is there.
Speaker 13 (21:43):
A yeah, there there is, there's mileage.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
And it doesn't have to be exact, but just tell
me so you can now I've got it right here
on my phone.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Give me once, all right, we're talking to that Steve Broda.
He created truck Yeah t r U C dash y A.
It's the Uber Trucks. I just downloaded the app onto
my phone and it's essentially a way that you can
get on demand trucks to help you haul stuff or
(22:11):
move stuff, whatever it might be. So if I wanted
to go from here to there, give me a sense
of it.
Speaker 13 (22:15):
Okay, So from one to five miles is forty nine dollars,
So anything local forty nine dollars. If you go six
to ten miles is fifty nine. Eleven to fifteen miles
sixty nine.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
It's all pretty affordable, to be honest.
Speaker 13 (22:29):
Sixteen to twenty miles seventy nine, twenty one to twenty
five eighty nine, twenty six to thirty ninety nine, thirty
one to thirty five miles one on nine, thirty six
to forty is one nineteen. Forty one to fifty miles
is one thirty nine, and then fifty one. That's the
highest tiers. One to sixty now is one fifty nine.
I mean, the whole thing is is that we want
(22:49):
to help residents and businesses get their packages. Contractors that
have to wait in line for and wait for something
to get to their.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Sure materials of one sort of another, construction materials like
real quick is it like Uber You can watch your
truck go from here to there. You can see how
close it is to your destination.
Speaker 13 (23:12):
It has well the drivers are going to know that
it's going to be on Google Maps. We have Google
Maps hooked up to it. So you'll see exactly the
miles and where it's going on a map, and then
you just.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Go until you can find and so you can follow
though where your truck is. All right, it's too bad.
We should have set this up with a haul that
was getting dropped off right.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Now, you know what I mean? That would have been
the That would have been good.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
That would be the way to go, Steffush, you don't
have a truck, could you see yourself maybe being a
weekender with a truck.
Speaker 14 (23:45):
Yeah, I could do that. Yeah, I don't have a truck,
but I could do that. Yeah, Yeah, that'd be cool.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (23:50):
I've got a lot of pictures, like videos that I
drive around town and I see like sofas on top of.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Like Toyota Corro. There's definitely and I put her on.
Speaker 13 (23:58):
We're starting a YouTube channel, and uh, it's getting getting
pretty funny some of the stuff that people would do
to get a bigger item, you know, even TVs. The
TV's are getting so huge nowadays.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
No, you're right, you need a truck, so you need
to wrap them and put them into yeah, a flatbed.
Speaker 13 (24:16):
Off a list if I can read it to you
real quick, I mean, this is what you can use
it for Craigslist use speaking of Craigslist, off rap marketplace, Facebook,
thrift stores, appliances, Walmart, sure, Christmas trees called.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Oh that's a great point about when you go to
like Costco or Walmart and you need more space than
you might have in your smaller car.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yeah, yeah, postmate's not doing it. No, you need truck, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Truck Yeah, t r U c dash y a t
r U see dash ya. You're a proud US military veteran.
We're proud to help you. Steve Roda. I really wish
you well with this good luck you come out of Lancaster, right,
is that where you are in Lancaster, and whether you're
(25:04):
hauling to a storage unit that you're clearing out or
you're hauling away from a storage unit or a big
box store. Seems like a really good call. So hey,
so nice to meet you, Nice to mean to you.
Can I do a shout out real quick of course?
Speaker 13 (25:16):
Okay, So I wanted to say thanks to my investors
Renee and Philip Flores who helped me in the beginning.
Sure they believe it's the toughest money that believe that
believed in me. Yeah, my buddy Mark Hutchins, which gave
me the money to make the business a portfolio to
give to the investor. Sure, and then also later down
(25:41):
the road we have Thorpe Jenkins, which he owns my
Comfort Pro air Conditioning and he's the one that we
worked diligently together to get the rest of the app
together and he helped out too.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
So I mean, you need this is really good that
you're acknowledging them because you need not only the idea,
but you need money to drive an idea.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Sadly, it's just the fact.
Speaker 13 (26:01):
Absolutely the dream comes first. Then you know, unfortunately you
have that the finances, but you have to have the
people believe in you. And then probably the hardest thing
is for customers and for people to get the customers
and the drivers all together in one sink. I'm just
hoping that it all comes together, and I know it will.
It's a great idea, and uh.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah, I mean, look, there are plenty of trucks that
would like no, I mean, why not in fifteen minutes
or a half hour, you can pick up an extra
fifty bucks or whatever it might be. Absolutely, and if
you've given them a great cut a seventy seventy thirty cut.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
That's pretty that's pretty great. Yeah. So what is your
cut on Uber over there? Steff my cut? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
What do they typically give a driver on it? I
get eighty percent? Eighty percent? Yeah, would you think about
going up to eighty percent?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Not yet? Not yet?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Okay, you got to go and they got a lot
more to carry. They got you do have more more
to carry. That's a good point. H truck Yeah or
truck yea t r uc dad y a Steve.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Broda, Thank you, my friend, and good luck having me.
Appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Glad I downloaded the truck. You app and before you
know it, I may be in business with you. There
you go, all right, thank you.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Their news out of McDonald's.
Speaker 12 (27:20):
Apparently Donald's relaunching THEIRS today after being off the market
for a decade. But it's a battle, so the competition
will fire back.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Unloading there they're unload. What are they launching?
Speaker 12 (27:32):
Their Donald's relaunching theirs today after being off THEIRS?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Is what their rap they're relaunching. They're relaunching their rap,
the Chicken Snack rap.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Okay, calm down, you thought you.
Speaker 15 (27:45):
Didn't see your comments, petitions and posts.
Speaker 12 (27:48):
Okay, McDonald's fans, today's the day we've been craving for years.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
I snack wraps are back.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
It's the fisis.
Speaker 11 (27:55):
Let's get them.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
We got them.
Speaker 12 (27:57):
It's the chicken snack wrap taking off the menu in
twenty sixteen.
Speaker 11 (28:01):
Been waiting a long time for these to come back.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Now, why did they take them off the menus? Toffush
twenty sixteen. That's that's a Your guess is as good
as mine. They take a lot of stuff off that
you know, I don't know why. They make it seasonal
lot and they create demand for it. But that twenty sixteen,
that's a long time.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Take a long time. Yeah, finally back today, those comings.
But the recent this exists.
Speaker 12 (28:26):
Justice McDonald's USA President Joe erling Or promised George last
December on GMA.
Speaker 16 (28:32):
Reveal the secret. The snack Craft will be back in
twenty twenty five. This is has a cult following. I
get so many emails into my inbox about this product.
And we'll be back in twenty twelve five following for
the snack Raft.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
But it's been off the market since twenty sixteen. I
mean there comes a point of diminishing returns on keeping
it off the market. I don't want a second guess.
McDonald's crit they're doing something right, yeah, but it just
seems like a long time to keep something off the
market out.
Speaker 16 (28:59):
I get so many emails into my inbox about this product,
and we'll be back in twenty two five following For
the snack wrap, it does, it really does.
Speaker 12 (29:06):
Fans of the two ninety nine rap will be able
to choose between two options, Ranch and spicy that features
a spicy pepper sauce. The centerpiece of this rap a
mid crispy strip covered in shredded lettuce and cheese, then
wrapped in a soft flour torture.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
The way he announces the two options, I expected like
them to be a bit more elaborate.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Yeah right, you know, I mean, there'll be two options
and spicy.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
No, it's great, spicy is one of them. And what
was the other one? Cheesy or something of ranch?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Right?
Speaker 5 (29:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Ranch? The two options are.
Speaker 12 (29:37):
Ranch, Ranch and spicy that features a spicy pepper sauce.
The centerpiece of this wrap a mid crispy strip covered
in shredded lettuce and cheese, then wrapped in a soft
flour tortilla.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Oh I could see you just really grooving on this
Stuffoush just has your name all over it.
Speaker 14 (29:54):
I think they kind of played the slow game because
they recently released them with Crispy Chicken strips, which were
really good, by the way, And I think I don't
know what chicken they used back because it's twenty sixteen.
That was a while ago, so I don't remember, but
(30:15):
they definitely changed the formula of what they used for
the chicken strips, and so I think that's why they
decided he's talking about like, oh yeah, I got an inbox. No,
it's because they redesigned the chicken strips for their restaurant
and now they can put it back into the wraps.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Let me translate for our audience what staffush here is saying,
because he's saying something very insightful. You're saying they can
repurpose the chicken strips now that they've integrated them back
into the restaurant. So the Crispy Chicken I don't know
if they call them chicken strips. Is that what they're calling, Well,
make chicken strips make chicken strips, that's but their chicken
(30:57):
strips they just put the mick on the front and
that gives it a chrispiness. So it's crispy and creamy.
But you couldn't have the chrispiness before because you hadn't
integrated the McChicken exactly, all right, So we continue, Oh sorry,
we continue.
Speaker 12 (31:14):
Covered in shredded lettuce and cheese, then wrapped in a
soft flower tortilla. In the past few years, several other
fast food franchises have entered the chicken snack wrap war.
Speaker 15 (31:23):
Over the last year and a half or so, we've
seen sales rise fifteen percent, so it's growing. McDonald's facing
challenges from competition.
Speaker 12 (31:31):
Including Popeyes, who claims they're ready for the battle with
the Golden Arches.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
They might all five past quess and for the next
three days. Now, who's that Sam Jackson doing that voiceover?
Who's that the might's all five past questions?
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Putty made on mcn some vampires crunch, they might all
five pass quess? What is who is that? That's Google
abol somebody's doing the Popeye spots. I think it's very
Sam Jackson sort of kind of Yeah, he's a very
cool sound. Oh my god, he's ultra cool sound. They
might ave pass class.
Speaker 12 (32:01):
And for the next three days, snackgrap lovers everywhere can
get a free Popeye, Spicy Classic or Honey Mustard snack
grap with any five dollars minimum purchase.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
It all sounds delicious.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
God, you have a preference for McDonald's or Popeys, so
it's on.
Speaker 14 (32:18):
Oh, I'll always go to McDonald's, but I usually go
to Popeyes with my dad. All right, but now I
see it's on two levels. They're repurposing the crispy McChicken strips,
and they're also going against Popeyes because now they see
that they there's a competition there where they can kind of,
you know, have some kind of validity.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah, there's a real battle going on.
Speaker 12 (32:42):
With any five dollars minimum purchase.
Speaker 15 (32:44):
Customers are really flocking to chicken and almost every fast.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Food did you get that they're flocking to kitchen?
Speaker 15 (32:51):
Customers are really flocking that chicken?
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Really? Really? Who said that.
Speaker 15 (32:54):
Customers are really flocking to chicken?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
All right?
Speaker 15 (32:57):
Oh my god, customer are really flocking to chicken. And
almost every fast food chain has chicken wraps.
Speaker 12 (33:05):
Now, Popeyes isn't alone in this battle. Burger King now
has the Royal Krispy Rep Day and KFC Wait.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
KFC is new two for five dollars raps.
Speaker 12 (33:16):
With several options including spicy mac and cheese wraps, and
Sonic adding a Crispy Chicken tender wrap just a few
weeks ago for a dollar ninety nine. The restaurant posting
this ad just hours after it's slightly more expensive competitor,
Chicken is.
Speaker 15 (33:30):
A big business, and whoever gets the upper hand in
this chicken snack wrap war, they could have money coming
in for years and years.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Yeah. People are flocking to this, the other flocking. Yeah.
Speaker 14 (33:42):
The President can say whatever he wants, but he sees
the competition and that he's like, oh, let's bring it
back out, you know, out of nowhere.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
He wants to keep up with everyone else.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
No agree, I mean it's a real rugby scrum of competition.
I mean, yeah, Popeyes, Sonic mc donald, Burger King, Burger
King crazy. So the chicken rap wars have begun. You
heard about it here. It is the Conway Show. When
we come back, we'll out the state Senator Ben Allen in.
(34:13):
We'll talk about California and the upcoming international sporting events
set to get going here in the Golden State. That next,
it is the Conway Show, Mark Thompson here on KFI
AM six forty We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Now you
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
It's kf I Am six forty and you're listening to
the Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You see, the FBI is using polygraph tests now to
test the loyalty of the officials working at the FBI.
We should a little loyalty test around here. Some senior
officials who have taken the test have been asked whether
they said anything negative about the FBI director Cash.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
But tell wow, pretty wild.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
They're asking senior employees whether they've had anything negative to
say about FBI management. Polygraphs a big part of the
loyalty test now in Washington. The thing about Cash Betel,
now he's on that whole Epstein thing. He said he
was going to release the files, and he said that
they have to be released, and there is a cover
(00:52):
up going on. Well, now he runs FBI, and now
he's not releasing the files. So he finds himself in
an interesting spot. Ina, it's Karen Bass who finds herself
in an embattled position. She's taking on the federal government.
I mean more and more. It's really the mayor of
La versus the Feds. And all of this news is
(01:14):
coming as LA is going to be hosting major events,
eight World Cup matches in twenty twenty six, then the
Olympics and the Paralympic Games in twenty twenty eight. Karen
Bass gave an interview during which she covered some of
where she sits and her disposition toward ICE and the
(01:37):
FEDS in La Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Mayor Karen Bass now in the middle of a fight
between her sanctuary city and the White.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
House coming in and enforcing immigration law. I dispute how
they're doing it. I dispute, frankly, that they're doing it
at all when they just snatched people off the street.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Now they declared itself a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants back
in twenty nineteen, prohibiting the LAPD from aiding in immigration
enforcement actions, a position that is now being challenged by
the US Department of Justice.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well, in addition to that, you are left in a
weird position because, as we've mentioned before, the LAPD may
show up to make sure that there is no confrontation
between protesters, between activists, and between ICE enforcement enforcement agents.
That is to say, they're trying to, you know, stave
off some kind of trouble, but they're not supposed to
(02:32):
help in that ICE enforcement action. So that's sort of
where there has been the gray area. Is the presence
of the cops in any way helping the ice raid happen.
I mean I would say no. I mean they're there
to make sure that there's no trouble from protesters, et cetera.
(02:53):
But I can see where some of the stuff washes
together anyway. That is oftentimes the situation where it kind
of gets a little dicey.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Apartment of Justice claiming the sanctuary law resulted in violence
against federal officers.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, that's what they're doing. They're saying in Washington, this
is the federal case right that this sanctuary city law
in LA is resulting in injuries.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Prohibiting the LAPD from aiding in immigration enforcement actions, a
position that is now being challenged by the US Department
of Justice claiming the sanctuary law resulted in violence against
federal officers last month in the civic center. Borders are
Tom Homan on Fox News.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
These nuts that want to take it beyond protests into
criminal activity.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
They're getting rhetoric from the members of Congress.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
The mayor pledge is not to abandon these sanctuary moniker.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I can promise that, but I don't control the courts,
and so there is a scenario in which the courts
overturn our policy. Now I hope that doesn't happen. There
is limits to what I can do as mayor. The
federal government does have the power to do what the
administration did in terms of coming in and enforcing immigration law.
(04:07):
I dispute how they're doing it.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
LA has joined seventeen other states and seven other local
LA County cities in their own lawsuit against the administration,
arguing ice raids are unconstitutional, alleging racial profileing and excessive
use of force.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Who people have been abandoned by is the federal government,
not the local government, and not the state government.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
All this taking place with the city preparing not just
for the twenty twenty eight Olympics, but next year's World Cup.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
The World Cup is going to be in eleven different cities,
but eight of the games are going to be played here.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Well, don't though immigrants play those World Cup games. Those
are more people we can wrap up. We'll teach them. Yeah,
what is that soccer? Or soccer? Players?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Football? Mark football? Put those cleats on and run into
that van.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
So I want to send a message to the world
that the world is welcome to come to Los Angeles
with the caveat that we need the cooperation from the
federal government.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I hate welcomes that have a caveat associated.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
With them, just to come to Los Angeles with the
caveat that we need the cooperation from the federal government
because the federal government controls immigration.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Are we really going to be doing this dance in
a year? Are we really going to be doing this
dance next year? I mean, this is just ridiculous, isn't it.
I mean, it just it's disruptive. We've talked about what's
done to downtown businesses and downtown businesses that were already suffering.
We have our own problems in LA without having to
add this, but this is wildly destabilizing. There's got to
(05:41):
We've got to get to a cruising altitude before next year.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Clearly, the mayor and other Democratic office holders are hoping
that public opinion will drive the administration into changing course
on this issue. With people recoiling from some of the
images they've seen of those being arrested by Immigration and
Customs and Force, it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Is hard to believe that they're arresting some of these
people and getting rid of like that high school kid
I told you about. She's in a high school honor student,
she just graduated, she runs track, she's everything great. You know,
he's a great immigration story. She's been here since she
was five or something, and she and her mom, they
(06:21):
wrapped them up and sent them to I believe in
their case it was Guatemala.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Believe that's right.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Anyway, the idea somehow that we're still going to be
doing this and that this whole region is going to
be roiling from this next year, it just won't wash.
I mean, you cannot reasonably expect the California economy to
in any way sustain itself through this. So in addition
(06:52):
to La California is going to have to find its
way through this. And you know, we had the raid
today at the pot growing place up there Mario, and
that is a sign of something that they've talked about,
raids at the agricultural businesses that line the Central Valley.
(07:14):
I mean, could that really happen. That'll be wildly destabilizing
to the California economy. And at the same time, California
is sort of in this adversarial relationship with Donald Trump
and his administration. Homan and all the rest Christy Nome
here to liberate us.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
I mean, these are.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
These are policies that are being put into place in
a heavy handed way for a reason. And all I'm
saying is, if we're still sitting here doing this in
a year, there's been a problem. This water has to
reach a certain level. And I'd say that the way
things are going right now, it's part theater, it's part
heavy handedness. Deliberately, it's i think designed to get people
(07:58):
to self deport as well as designed to actually ramp
up the deportations.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
They want.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Three thousand a day is what we've heard from Stephen Miller,
who's heading this whole thing up. And so they'll have
to keep it going. I mean, they'll really have to
keep it cranked up in order to hit those numbers.
But obviously the mayor is trying to split the baby
a bit. She's trying to be both, i think, expressing
(08:26):
an allegiance to a sanctuary city protection that may not
hold up in court, and she's also trying to represent
for her city and also do things that would suggest
we're going to get this tucked away before the World
Cup events, before the Olympics. And then lastly, I would
(08:48):
say Trump loves the fact that this is a Newsome country,
so he can go after California and make an example
of California, make life difficult for Californians, be disruptive here
in California because it is political water that Newsom takes on.
(09:10):
So these are all things too, I think put into
the blender of immigration policy and political policy because it's both.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Right.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Anyway, that's the latest from the mayor. When we continue,
what's happening next, Matt, I've lost.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Track Newsome campaigning in South Carolina. I love it.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Newsom is a hunk in South Caroline. You see this,
They see him as a hunk. He comes in like
a like a rock star. In South Carolina, we're over him,
see I mean, familiarity breeds contempt. But in South Carolina
he's dreamy. We'll give you the details next.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I neglected last hour to realize that Angel is here
with us today.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
She was out yesterday.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
So he played that whole game that is now the
talk of the building without poor Angel. She is here,
and so Angel, I want to pledge to you that
you will be included, and any further around the horn
kind of games, quizzes or other feedback related issues.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I'm making that pledge to you now.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
And I'm sure now she's doing a traffic update for
some other station and didn't even hear that. And that's
the beauty of iHeartMedia. That's the beauty of angel. That's
she's doing it for like M one O five or
one whatever.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Why. I have no idea. Maybe she just shut you
out because she was Oh, that could be. I like that.
I like that narrative much more.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Gavin Newsom is in South Carolina, the gateway to the
Democratic nomination two days of South in California, a southern
southern South Carolina campaigning from southern California, and some see
him as a charismatic ray of hope and others see
(11:11):
him as a typical California Democrat.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
I had the opportunity to talk to this as South
Carolina business owner said she was proud to have the
governor in her shop, even as one Republican leader there
said he wanted Newsom out.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Of his state.
Speaker 9 (11:25):
We were gonna have a small We're gonna have a
cup of coffee, Madam Mayor that's what you promise, Governor
Gavin Newsom engaging voters and posing for pictures inside this
coffee shop not in California, but thousands of miles away
in South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, there was a reaction to him from the ladies
that I hadn't anticipated. Kind of got a kind of
a rock and roll sort of reaction out of some
of the ladies in the coffee shop.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 9 (11:53):
I come from the small, little isolated state out there.
Speaker 10 (11:56):
In the West, and when he in, it was just
like I knew him.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
For like ten years. Andrew. Ah, it's a love connection,
is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
And when he.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Come in, it was just like I knew him for
like ten years.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I've never had that in my relationship. That's what Newsom has.
It's that special something.
Speaker 11 (12:22):
Andrina Mullins is the owner of Little Jazzy's Cafe in Florence,
South Carolina, and hosted this Newsom visit. The business owner,
who says she's politically neutral, also sees a country in
need of change. What kinds of things are on your
mind as a business owner about what you feel the
country needs.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I'm going to top it off with one word. We
need love.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Newsom did not feel the love of all sid I
think I've met my soulmate.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
She's in South Carolina. I'm going to top it off
with one word, we need luve.
Speaker 11 (12:54):
She did not feel the love of all South Carolinians.
Republican Attorney General Alan wille who is running for governor,
issued his statement, reading, in part, we don't need Gavin
Newsom's twisted version of America in the Palmetto State.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
There you go, that's the America that I know, right.
Speaker 11 (13:10):
On, twisted version of America in the Palmetto State. In
your view, why South Carolina for this visit?
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Simple math.
Speaker 10 (13:20):
It's probably going to be the first state to cast
votes for the Democratic presidential candidate next time around.
Speaker 11 (13:26):
Democratic strategist Steve Maviiglio, who's often a critic of Newsom,
says Newsom is starting an early ground game in the
important primary state.
Speaker 9 (13:34):
I grew up in a place called Dutch Flag, California.
Speaker 11 (13:36):
Newsom described growing up in rural Plasar County to these
South Carolina voters.
Speaker 9 (13:42):
That night, Plaser County, California.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
It's about the reddis county in America.
Speaker 10 (13:47):
He's trying to diss himself from his San Francisco roots,
because having that label around you makes you seem like
an extreme liberal, and that doesn't bode well for his
future political abspirations.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I'm just happy to have a governor here.
Speaker 11 (14:01):
Davin Newsom's next political move? Is this the prelude to
a presidential campaign.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
I'm deeply humbled by the way I did reach out
to that.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Well, I mean, yeah, it's obviously a prelude. He's not
going to South Carolina for any other reason. I think
he'd admit it, wouldn't he.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
By the way, I did reach out to the governor's
office to ask who.
Speaker 12 (14:21):
Is paying for this trip.
Speaker 8 (14:23):
They referred me to his political team, who did not
respond to my request for that information. The esp though,
did respond saying they in fact are there with him.
They are responsible for the governor's security in and out
of California.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Well that's yeah, that's a little bit of a red herring.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
But I think that the idea that he goes to
South Carolina first and he's open about it, is that
associated with the math. I mean, that's the thing that
supercharged Biden. He got that green light from Clyburn down
in South Carolina, and that made him all of a
sudden a much more viable can and went on to
win the nomination and win the presidency. So Newsom's done
(15:04):
that same sort of arithmetic. I mean, it's a weird thing.
We've become even more divided in that time. And it's
I want to say, fun but interesting to watch Newsom
try to be both things, you know, both the California
liberal values that he espouses regularly and also sort of
(15:26):
be that down home country kid who grew up in
Placer County. You know, I feel right at home here
in South Carolina. It reminds me of my childhood. And
to be fair, I've read a lot of political punditary
out of South Carolina and one of the things that
people like about Gavin Newsom is they kind of defends
a lot of the liberal values. But again, some of
(15:50):
those liberal values are used against him in some of
these states, like South Carolina. But as he seeks the nomination,
remember this is what this whole thing is about. Trying
to get the nomination, it will be a question of
selling his bona fytis, you know, his cred. He's going
(16:11):
to have to have political cred in places like South Carolina.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
So interesting to see him do so.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Well there he can probably drink coffee for free from
that one lady there. She seemed pretty taken with him.
He has a kind of rock star quality, you know.
I know we see him because he's at the dinner
table every night here. It's familiarity breeds contempt, you know
what I mean. He seems slick to us, he's too smooth,
(16:40):
whatever it might be. But to some of these folks,
like that lady who owns the coffee shop, she likes him.
He's dreamy. And that's the word on Gavin Newsom when
we come back in studio, the guy who created Uber
for truck. It's a new app, truck Ya, as I say.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Already downloading it. We'll have the founder next.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
You're listening to Tim conwaytoon You're on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Such a pleasure to welcome an entrepreneur into the studio,
Steve Broda, Wow, you've done it, my friend. Truck Yeah
is the app. It's truc dash ya like truck you right,
I mean that's the idea, right, tell me about truck ya.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
It really is sort of like Uber.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
The pitch is you know, originally Uber was to so
many of those who were driving town cars and they
were they had downtime, and to use that downtime, they
could actually join Uber and the app would then hook
you up with somebody who needed a ride, and you
now use that downtime to make money.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Yes, this is sort of that same thing.
Speaker 13 (18:00):
It's what I'm just girls and guys with truck It's
the same thing with girls and guys with trucks. Basically,
if you're on the road and you get you get
hit by a ping on your phone. If you have
the app and someone needs something moved, whether it's from
Craigslist or offer up or costco at an office, I
(18:21):
mean you can. I was laying in bed thinking all
the ways that you can use the app and how
people can make some money off of it, and it's actually,
you know, I'm not really here to make a million dollars.
I'm here to help people basically, and that's why I
did it. And you know, seventy percent gross for the
(18:42):
drivers is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Oh wow, that's really good.
Speaker 13 (18:45):
If you can pick something up in fifteen minutes and
drop off like I did a deal up in Palmdale
for a couch from a thrift store, picked it up
he helped me put it in the back of the truck,
took it to his house and that was forty nine
to do it, and then he gave me what a
ten dollars tip. So sure, so in fifteen minutes, that's
pretty good mine.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Yeah, that's that's not bad.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
You know, who is actually on our crew who drives
for Uber and Lyft is a stuff foushe and Steph
is a very he's very what conscientious I get must
be there, like he's very serious about it, you know.
And it seems to me like this is the sort
of thing that again would attract people who have got
(19:27):
a truck. These are pickup trucks, these aren't. You're not
looking for eighteen wheelers here, right.
Speaker 13 (19:31):
No, we're looking for regular personally owned trucks and insurance
and the people itself. You know, the thing is with
businesses itself, they have a lot of overhead with their
own trucks that they have to lease or they have
to do that, you know, so forth they can start
using truck yeah, and start using you know, part time
or whatever. If they find a driver they like, they
(19:51):
can definitely keep them because the drivers are on the
app and you can pick any driver that you want.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, I've got the app right here. It's wild. You know,
it's pretty simple. It's sort of like a like an uber,
right you just yeah.
Speaker 13 (20:03):
Sec an uber. There's it's a little bit different. Of course,
we don't put the people inside the truck and take
them with us. Just the items and then the items
are that you take a picture of the item, and
then once the item gets to the destination, then you
take another picture of it just for liability reasons to
make sure that they get and and and get their package.
But also it has an O OTP is.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
It o TP or OTP, right?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
I know o PP you and you know me, I
don't know o TP OPT.
Speaker 13 (20:37):
Number pops up.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Uh.
Speaker 13 (20:39):
And then that way, when the customer has the OPT number,
you know that the driver has that number when he
shows up, you know that's the guy that's Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
So this is something that you were germinating about, thinking about,
sort of just ruminating about back before COVID or is
it COVID that will.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Frind of the when did this get birthed?
Speaker 13 (21:01):
Right right before COVID unbeknounced to me, But sitting there
as a salesman and in Bobby Wayne's rv UH selling
r v's sure and sitting there waiting for the next
sale to pop up.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I'm going, you know what, be a good idea?
Speaker 13 (21:17):
And I thought about this because this app actually you
can do toes with it too, So you can tow
a fifth wheel. I should get somebody with a fifth
wheel hitch that signs up. They can tow small distances.
I want to do this local, not far distances. But
if you want to do far, if you got if
you want you can do this, you can do it
(21:37):
far as well.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Now, how does that pricing work?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
If you're going from here to there and there is
a long way or is there.
Speaker 13 (21:43):
A yeah, there there is, there's mileage.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
And it doesn't have to be exact, but just tell
me so you can now I've got it right here
on my phone.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Give me once, all right, we're talking to that Steve Broda.
He created truck Yeah t r U C dash y A.
It's the Uber Trucks. I just downloaded the app onto
my phone and it's essentially a way that you can
get on demand trucks to help you haul stuff or
(22:11):
move stuff, whatever it might be. So if I wanted
to go from here to there, give me a sense
of it.
Speaker 13 (22:15):
Okay, So from one to five miles is forty nine dollars,
So anything local forty nine dollars. If you go six
to ten miles is fifty nine. Eleven to fifteen miles
sixty nine.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
It's all pretty affordable, to be honest.
Speaker 13 (22:29):
Sixteen to twenty miles seventy nine, twenty one to twenty
five eighty nine, twenty six to thirty ninety nine, thirty
one to thirty five miles one on nine, thirty six
to forty is one nineteen. Forty one to fifty miles
is one thirty nine, and then fifty one. That's the
highest tiers. One to sixty now is one fifty nine.
I mean, the whole thing is is that we want
(22:49):
to help residents and businesses get their packages. Contractors that
have to wait in line for and wait for something
to get to their.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Sure materials of one sort of another, construction materials like
real quick is it like Uber You can watch your
truck go from here to there. You can see how
close it is to your destination.
Speaker 13 (23:12):
It has well the drivers are going to know that
it's going to be on Google Maps. We have Google
Maps hooked up to it. So you'll see exactly the
miles and where it's going on a map, and then
you just.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Go until you can find and so you can follow
though where your truck is. All right, it's too bad.
We should have set this up with a haul that
was getting dropped off right.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Now, you know what I mean? That would have been
the That would have been good.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
That would be the way to go, Steffush, you don't
have a truck, could you see yourself maybe being a
weekender with a truck.
Speaker 14 (23:45):
Yeah, I could do that. Yeah, I don't have a truck,
but I could do that. Yeah, Yeah, that'd be cool.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (23:50):
I've got a lot of pictures, like videos that I
drive around town and I see like sofas on top of.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Like Toyota Corro. There's definitely and I put her on.
Speaker 13 (23:58):
We're starting a YouTube channel, and uh, it's getting getting
pretty funny some of the stuff that people would do
to get a bigger item, you know, even TVs. The
TV's are getting so huge nowadays.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
No, you're right, you need a truck, so you need
to wrap them and put them into yeah, a flatbed.
Speaker 13 (24:16):
Off a list if I can read it to you
real quick, I mean, this is what you can use
it for Craigslist use speaking of Craigslist, off rap marketplace, Facebook,
thrift stores, appliances, Walmart, sure, Christmas trees called.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Oh that's a great point about when you go to
like Costco or Walmart and you need more space than
you might have in your smaller car.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Yeah, yeah, postmate's not doing it. No, you need truck, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Truck Yeah, t r U c dash y a t
r U see dash ya. You're a proud US military veteran.
We're proud to help you. Steve Roda. I really wish
you well with this good luck you come out of Lancaster, right,
is that where you are in Lancaster, and whether you're
(25:04):
hauling to a storage unit that you're clearing out or
you're hauling away from a storage unit or a big
box store. Seems like a really good call. So hey,
so nice to meet you, Nice to mean to you.
Can I do a shout out real quick of course?
Speaker 13 (25:16):
Okay, So I wanted to say thanks to my investors
Renee and Philip Flores who helped me in the beginning.
Sure they believe it's the toughest money that believe that
believed in me. Yeah, my buddy Mark Hutchins, which gave
me the money to make the business a portfolio to
give to the investor. Sure, and then also later down
(25:41):
the road we have Thorpe Jenkins, which he owns my
Comfort Pro air Conditioning and he's the one that we
worked diligently together to get the rest of the app
together and he helped out too.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
So I mean, you need this is really good that
you're acknowledging them because you need not only the idea,
but you need money to drive an idea.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Sadly, it's just the fact.
Speaker 13 (26:01):
Absolutely the dream comes first. Then you know, unfortunately you
have that the finances, but you have to have the
people believe in you. And then probably the hardest thing
is for customers and for people to get the customers
and the drivers all together in one sink. I'm just
hoping that it all comes together, and I know it will.
It's a great idea, and uh.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Yeah, I mean, look, there are plenty of trucks that
would like no, I mean, why not in fifteen minutes
or a half hour, you can pick up an extra
fifty bucks or whatever it might be. Absolutely, and if
you've given them a great cut a seventy seventy thirty cut.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
That's pretty that's pretty great. Yeah. So what is your
cut on Uber over there? Steff my cut? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
What do they typically give a driver on it? I
get eighty percent? Eighty percent? Yeah, would you think about
going up to eighty percent?
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Not yet? Not yet?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Okay, you got to go and they got a lot
more to carry. They got you do have more more
to carry. That's a good point. H truck Yeah or
truck yea t r uc dad y a Steve.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Broda, Thank you, my friend, and good luck having me.
Appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Glad I downloaded the truck. You app and before you
know it, I may be in business with you. There
you go, all right, thank you.
Speaker 7 (27:12):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Their news out of McDonald's.
Speaker 12 (27:20):
Apparently Donald's relaunching THEIRS today after being off the market
for a decade. But it's a battle, so the competition
will fire back.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Unloading there they're unload. What are they launching?
Speaker 12 (27:32):
Their Donald's relaunching theirs today after being off THEIRS?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Is what their rap they're relaunching. They're relaunching their rap,
the Chicken Snack rap.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Okay, calm down, you thought you.
Speaker 15 (27:45):
Didn't see your comments, petitions and posts.
Speaker 12 (27:48):
Okay, McDonald's fans, today's the day we've been craving for years.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
I snack wraps are back.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
It's the fisis.
Speaker 11 (27:55):
Let's get them.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
We got them.
Speaker 12 (27:57):
It's the chicken snack wrap taking off the menu in
twenty sixteen.
Speaker 11 (28:01):
Been waiting a long time for these to come back.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Now, why did they take them off the menus? Toffush
twenty sixteen. That's that's a Your guess is as good
as mine. They take a lot of stuff off that
you know, I don't know why. They make it seasonal
lot and they create demand for it. But that twenty sixteen,
that's a long time.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Take a long time. Yeah, finally back today, those comings.
But the recent this exists.
Speaker 12 (28:26):
Justice McDonald's USA President Joe erling Or promised George last
December on GMA.
Speaker 16 (28:32):
Reveal the secret. The snack Craft will be back in
twenty twenty five. This is has a cult following. I
get so many emails into my inbox about this product.
And we'll be back in twenty twelve five following for
the snack Raft.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
But it's been off the market since twenty sixteen. I
mean there comes a point of diminishing returns on keeping
it off the market. I don't want a second guess.
McDonald's crit they're doing something right, yeah, but it just
seems like a long time to keep something off the
market out.
Speaker 16 (28:59):
I get so many emails into my inbox about this product,
and we'll be back in twenty two five following For
the snack wrap, it does, it really does.
Speaker 12 (29:06):
Fans of the two ninety nine rap will be able
to choose between two options, Ranch and spicy that features
a spicy pepper sauce. The centerpiece of this rap a
mid crispy strip covered in shredded lettuce and cheese, then
wrapped in a soft flour torture.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
The way he announces the two options, I expected like
them to be a bit more elaborate.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Yeah right, you know, I mean, there'll be two options
and spicy.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
No, it's great, spicy is one of them. And what
was the other one? Cheesy or something of ranch?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Right?
Speaker 5 (29:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Ranch? The two options are.
Speaker 12 (29:37):
Ranch, Ranch and spicy that features a spicy pepper sauce.
The centerpiece of this wrap a mid crispy strip covered
in shredded lettuce and cheese, then wrapped in a soft
flour tortilla.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Oh I could see you just really grooving on this
Stuffoush just has your name all over it.
Speaker 14 (29:54):
I think they kind of played the slow game because
they recently released them with Crispy Chicken strips, which were
really good, by the way, And I think I don't
know what chicken they used back because it's twenty sixteen.
That was a while ago, so I don't remember, but
(30:15):
they definitely changed the formula of what they used for
the chicken strips, and so I think that's why they
decided he's talking about like, oh yeah, I got an inbox. No,
it's because they redesigned the chicken strips for their restaurant
and now they can put it back into the wraps.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Let me translate for our audience what staffush here is saying,
because he's saying something very insightful. You're saying they can
repurpose the chicken strips now that they've integrated them back
into the restaurant. So the Crispy Chicken I don't know
if they call them chicken strips. Is that what they're calling, Well,
make chicken strips make chicken strips, that's but their chicken
(30:57):
strips they just put the mick on the front and
that gives it a chrispiness. So it's crispy and creamy.
But you couldn't have the chrispiness before because you hadn't
integrated the McChicken exactly, all right, So we continue, Oh sorry,
we continue.
Speaker 12 (31:14):
Covered in shredded lettuce and cheese, then wrapped in a
soft flower tortilla. In the past few years, several other
fast food franchises have entered the chicken snack wrap war.
Speaker 15 (31:23):
Over the last year and a half or so, we've
seen sales rise fifteen percent, so it's growing. McDonald's facing
challenges from competition.
Speaker 12 (31:31):
Including Popeyes, who claims they're ready for the battle with
the Golden Arches.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
They might all five past quess and for the next
three days. Now, who's that Sam Jackson doing that voiceover?
Who's that the might's all five past questions?
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Putty made on mcn some vampires crunch, they might all
five pass quess? What is who is that? That's Google
abol somebody's doing the Popeye spots. I think it's very
Sam Jackson sort of kind of Yeah, he's a very
cool sound. Oh my god, he's ultra cool sound. They
might ave pass class.
Speaker 12 (32:01):
And for the next three days, snackgrap lovers everywhere can
get a free Popeye, Spicy Classic or Honey Mustard snack
grap with any five dollars minimum purchase.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
It all sounds delicious.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
God, you have a preference for McDonald's or Popeys, so
it's on.
Speaker 14 (32:18):
Oh, I'll always go to McDonald's, but I usually go
to Popeyes with my dad. All right, but now I
see it's on two levels. They're repurposing the crispy McChicken strips,
and they're also going against Popeyes because now they see
that they there's a competition there where they can kind of,
you know, have some kind of validity.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah, there's a real battle going on.
Speaker 12 (32:42):
With any five dollars minimum purchase.
Speaker 15 (32:44):
Customers are really flocking to chicken and almost every fast.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
Food did you get that they're flocking to kitchen?
Speaker 15 (32:51):
Customers are really flocking that chicken?
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Really? Really? Who said that.
Speaker 15 (32:54):
Customers are really flocking to chicken?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
All right?
Speaker 15 (32:57):
Oh my god, customer are really flocking to chicken. And
almost every fast food chain has chicken wraps.
Speaker 12 (33:05):
Now, Popeyes isn't alone in this battle. Burger King now
has the Royal Krispy Rep Day and KFC Wait.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
KFC is new two for five dollars raps.
Speaker 12 (33:16):
With several options including spicy mac and cheese wraps, and
Sonic adding a Crispy Chicken tender wrap just a few
weeks ago for a dollar ninety nine. The restaurant posting
this ad just hours after it's slightly more expensive competitor,
Chicken is.
Speaker 15 (33:30):
A big business, and whoever gets the upper hand in
this chicken snack wrap war, they could have money coming
in for years and years.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Yeah. People are flocking to this, the other flocking. Yeah.
Speaker 14 (33:42):
The President can say whatever he wants, but he sees
the competition and that he's like, oh, let's bring it
back out, you know, out of nowhere.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
He wants to keep up with everyone else.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
No agree, I mean it's a real rugby scrum of competition.
I mean, yeah, Popeyes, Sonic mc donald, Burger King, Burger
King crazy. So the chicken rap wars have begun. You
heard about it here. It is the Conway Show. When
we come back, we'll out the state Senator Ben Allen in.
