Speaker 3 (01:17):
You know, somebody at iHeart said, hey, how do you
move up on the iHeart podcasting? And I said I
don't know, and they sort of walked away. I said,
I don't know. I mean, I guess promoting it all
the time. John Colvell promotes us all the time as

(01:38):
he do.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
Well, yeah, he's like fifty five woo.

Speaker 5 (01:41):
So I don't know why our lovely listeners couldn't help

Speaker 2 (01:48):
All right, and how they do it again?

Speaker 5 (01:51):
Go to the iHeart app yep and follow Conway's show yep.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
You'll actually love it. We'll actually love it.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
That'd be awesome. All right, Let's get into this other
story here that Bellio wants me to do for you
guys about Dollar General, Right.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yes, sir, it's booming.

Speaker 7 (02:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well wait a minute.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Doesn't Dollar General buy sort of the same stuff as
Dollar Tree?

Speaker 5 (02:17):
Well, I guess they kind of explained that Dollar Tree
has fewer consumable items.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Right, But that also means that the tariffs are bs
that they're not really affecting either one. Is that true?
Let's find out. Let's find out. Let's find out together. Okay,
all right, here we go.

Speaker 8 (02:36):
Dollar General is posting a record ten point four billion
dollars in quarterly sales, and that's compared to nine point
nine billion dollars in the same quarter of last year.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Kay Dollar General is having a record. The tariffs are
still with Dollar General. The tariffs are with Dollar Tree.
Dollar General made a record ten billion dollars profit and
Dollar Tree lost money.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
It's management, it's not tariffs.

Speaker 7 (03:04):
Experts say.

Speaker 8 (03:05):
One big reason more people are bargain shopping and anxious.

Speaker 7 (03:08):
About the economy.

Speaker 8 (03:09):
The discount store also dialing up its annual profit and
sales estimates.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Plus, Dollar General is a cool place to go. It
seems to be cleaner than a lot of these other stores,
and maybe that's why people go in.

Speaker 8 (03:22):
As traditional retailers like Macy's, Target invest Buy are dialing
back profit and sales projections. So something different from Dollar General.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Dollar Generals kicking ass. Dollar General.

Speaker 7 (03:34):
Something different.

Speaker 9 (03:35):
And yet each time this comes up, you kind of
see it as a bellweather of what's happening in the
underlying economy. Which types of items at stores like Dollar
General are less expensive everything?

Speaker 8 (03:48):
Sorry, Yeah, We've done a lot of reporting from dollar
type stores and there are definitely some good deals. Dollar
General says they're seeing growth in categories like home products.

Speaker 7 (04:00):
We're talking about.

Speaker 8 (04:00):
Cleaning brushes, decorative pillows, things like that.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Then there's belly.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
I bet you've bought you purchased decorative pillows in the
last two years?

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Is that true? I actually have you like decorative pillows?
I bet?

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:13):
And what do you put them? Outside? Inside?

Speaker 4 (04:15):
I actually bought the ones that you're referring to were for.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Outside on the front porch.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, what are they? Red? White and blue? Are they?

Speaker 10 (04:22):
No? No?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
No, no, go America light blue, light blue? Okay? That match
anything else out there?

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Or the cushions, the cushions.

Speaker 8 (04:31):
Cleaning brushes, decorative pillows, things like that. Then there's consumables,
packaged diasonal items. Think holiday decorations.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Oh yeah, they said holiday decorations.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah, those are cheap.

Speaker 8 (04:43):
And apparel like clothing and shoes, Rebecca.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
And there is this increase.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
I'm gonna say, Bellio, you don't have a pair of
Dollar General shoes.

Speaker 5 (04:55):
I did have like a pair of shoes that I
used around the pool, some like flip flops that I did.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
From Dollar Generals.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
God, is that bad?

Speaker 11 (05:05):
No?

Speaker 3 (05:05):
I just I thought for sure you would have no
footwear from Dollar General.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
They're perfect. They're just for around the pool, and there
is this increased interest.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Do you look at do other people around the pool
look at you like, oh wow, that's.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Seen a few people. I've seen a few people admiring them. Yeah,
right are They're a faux leather.

Speaker 9 (05:28):
And there is this increased interest in Dollar General. It's frequently,
as we just mentioned, seen as a bellweather of the economy.
It has also made a bit of a buzz online.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
And when you go to the pool, does John say
you're going to put on your DGS?

Speaker 4 (05:44):
He hasn't said that.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
I mean he might now your Dollar Generals.

Speaker 7 (05:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (05:49):
Two words for you that have come up revenge saving.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Wait, I thought of two other words.

Speaker 7 (05:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (05:55):
Two words for you that have come up, revenge saving.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
I don't know what revenge saving is. What is that?
Belly o?

Speaker 5 (06:06):
The people are deliberately not buying high end products, and
at certain stores they are going with the cheaper items.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Oh is that right?

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Okay, Okay, now I get that makes sense. All right,
I made a a edit here. Let's see if this
works better.

Okay, this is out of control.

Speaker 2 (06:33):

Speaker 3 (06:36):
It's different, right, it's different. Yeah, it's definitely a different.
Let me shorten it.

or Disney California Adventure Park.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
That'd be cool.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
All right, there's a kind of a theme going on
Bellio that's not good. You know, we did a story
about Dollar General and Dollar Tree and and now you
know there's a slump in Vegas where people aren't going
to Vegas because they don't have any money.

Speaker 12 (09:37):
Yeah, a lot of the ride share drivers are really
yeah hurt, and everyone's broke.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Everyone's broke. And now there's buy now and pay later
for groceries, yes, for just the you know, for people
eating well.

Speaker 16 (09:51):
Buy now, pay later loans have been in use for
big ticket items for years. New data is showing that
a grown number of American consumers are using the pay
method for everyday items. A recent survey from lending Tree
finds that a quarter of consumers are using these payment
plans for groceries.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
You've got to be kidding me.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
Twenty five percent of the people out there are so
broke that they're buying groceries now and paying form later.

Speaker 16 (10:16):
That is up fourteen percent from just a year ago.
A survey found groceries to be the fourth most common
buy now, pay later purchase among gen zers, trailing behind clothing,
technology and home decor. CBS News MoneyWatch correspondent Kelly O'Grady
joins us with more on this. I mean, we keep
seeing this rise in buy now, pay later items, whether

(10:36):
it's for for Coachella tickets or but what does it
say to you.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
That people are using you laughing at that you hear then.

Speaker 16 (10:42):
For Coachella tickets, or but what does it say to
you the.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Poor because he's late. It sounds like she's laughing in
the poorest faith.

Speaker 16 (10:49):
For Coachella tickets, Or but what does it say to
you that people are using this now to buy groceries?
I mean, we saw one of the buy now, pay
later services do.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
A part shit with door dash right getting food delivery.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
As well, and it really speaks to the fact that
people are dipping into these ault You know what.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
I got to ask you this stuff is because I
saw these yesterday. You know what handles is? You know
what handles?

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Ice cream is? Kind of ice cream? Yeah, I love it. Okay.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
I was there last night with my beautiful daughter and
we were getting ice cream like a normal father and
daughter would do in America. And I saw there's a
doorbell on the side, like window number five at Handles
and said, ring this doorbell if you're a door dash. Okay, okay,
following me so far? Yeah, who is getting ice cream

(11:40):
delivered by door dash? That person must be They must
be within five feet they live within five feet of
the store.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
That and they are probably pretty twisted.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
But but how can it possibly be any good when
by the time it gets there?

Speaker 4 (11:57):
Try ice?

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Do they do? Do you guys carry dry ice with you?
We well, no, we don't, but save ballyo, they don't.
How much you looked into that, No, no, no.

Speaker 17 (12:07):
But they carry those cooler bags so it'll keep it
cold for a little bit.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Yeah, they carry cool yeah.

Speaker 13 (12:14):
Yeah, yeah, I got my flip flap from Dollar General
walking around town.

Speaker 17 (12:21):
So if you're like within five to eight minutes, it'll
be fine. But if it's further than that, then I'm
on your side with that.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
But but where are you in life where you can't
get off the couch to get ice cream? Is that
that's not a red flag? Well, I mean, yeah, you
can't drive. Yeah, you can't drive to.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
Go get ice I've tried to use door dash, you know,
because I didn't feel like going to get something, and
John refuses for us. He's like, no, we're not doing that.
I'm with him, get in the car and go get
it ourselves.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
I'm with him.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
No, But it's so nice.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
But don't you feel like an idiot if you had
ice cream delivered to the house with.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Doorda really want?

Speaker 4 (13:00):
I didn't didn't want to go out.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
And he takes a picture of you and the ice
cream before he leaves.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Why would he take a pretty sure of me?

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Don't they do that? Yeah, they have to none of you.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
They leave the food.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yeah, they have to take a picture of the food
and they leave it on the doorstep. So it's gonna
it's one hundred and ten out in the valley. He's
going to leave the ice cream just on the porch.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
That's what he has to do.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
You'd be expecting it, so it's not like you're going
to leave it out there, right, but you know you
may not hear the door bell.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Oh, this happened to me about six months ago. Drove
me crazy.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
My daughter at around midnight on Saturday, she goes, Dad,
I'm hungry. I go, all right, let's get pizza. So
we ordered pizza at midnight. You know, you just sort
of you're flirting with the end of the night shift.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Yeah. Yeah, And we ordered it and they said it'll
be there in forty minutes.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
So that's already twelve forty So they say they called
it twelve twenty, so I'll be there in twenty minutes.
I said, okay, So we wait twelve thirty, twelve thirty five,
twelve forty twelve forty five, twelve fifty one o'clock.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
And I called him at one oh five. I said, hey,
we don't have the pizza.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
And he said, oh, I came by, but I didn't
want to knock on the door or ring the bell
because it was too late.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
Oh my gosh, it's a whole point and I.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Had just left it. I said, so, what did you
do with the pizza? He goes, I just took it.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
With me and we took it back to the that wow,
And I said, I don't know what's going on with you?
I said, why? Why do you think it was too late?
I called you for the pizza and I and I
confirmed twelve forty i'd be up. Did you think at
twelve forty one I'd say screw it and I would
be out?

Speaker 2 (14:33):
And he goes, I don't really know.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
He goes, We're not supposed to knock on doors after
like eleven o'clock at night.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
I said, well, I said, well, how would I know
you're out there?

Speaker 13 (14:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (14:41):
But do I have to stay? Do I have to
leave the door open?

Speaker 4 (14:44):
And did he call you or text you?

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Wait?

Speaker 3 (14:47):
No, he didn't call nord Tech. This was just a
This wasn't door dash right, No, it was just just
a regular piece of ra.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
That's weird. It's odd.

Speaker 12 (14:54):
I should have called you or text you. Never called,
never text, never rang the doorbell, took your pizza?

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Doort?

Speaker 3 (15:01):
But but when we look back at the at the
at the ring camera, he did. He did stop by
and he was out there for five minutes just staring
at the door.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
So he just stood there.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Yeah, but they have your number.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Right, never call.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
And he said that he left his cell phone at
the store and he couldn't call, and he couldn't call
the store, just to have them call me. And I said,
and he and I said, how'd you get the address?
He goes, that's right, it was on the pizza box.
I said, all right, did you think of knocking? He goes, yeah,
I thought about knocking, but I didn't. I said, okay,
but I did it, all right, buddy, I don't know

(15:38):
what to tell you, so I'm gonna hang up. He goes, okay,
all right, I'm gonna hang up too, and we just
hung up.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Wow, have you guys talked since?

Speaker 2 (15:47):
No, they stopped delivering pizza because of you. I don't know.
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (15:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
They fired all their guys. They went with door dash. Really, yeah,
I hope it wasn't, because that's a true story.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
It is because of you.

Speaker 7 (15:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (15:59):
No, it was a pizza hut thing, oh whatever, but
it was they were pizza something, you know.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
I don't know, pizza or whatever.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
But they don't do their deliveries anymore. They go with
the door dash. Now, they fired all their pizza guys
all their delivery guys.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
And I knew the guys.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
They were good guys too, but now they're going no,
it's all you know, delivery services. All right, We'll keep
an eye on downtown Los Angeles. The protest, the flowing
immigration raids across Los Angeles are still going on. About
twenty minutes ago, they were firing rubber bullets at the
guys that got too close to the detention center. This
is going to be a big story all summer long,

(16:38):
and this is the very beginning of it tonight, and
you're listening to it live on sixty.

Speaker 15 (16:44):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM sixty.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
There is still people downtown Los Angeles. They're pissed off
about the protests. I am their gathering downtown near City
Hall and the detention center, Federal Detention center as well.
So if that gets any crazier, we'll tell you about that.

(17:11):
But that is just the beginning of what's going to
be happening all summer in Los Angeles. It's going to
be a hot, crazy summer. It's gonna be some raids
and everyone's broke, so perfect combination for riot or unrest
or craziness, and it's it's everywhere. People are even slowing

(17:33):
down and on going to Vegas because they're und any money.
Everyone's busted out right out happen.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
You can tell it the way it's used to.

Speaker 18 (17:41):
Starting on January, mid January February, since.

Speaker 11 (17:45):
Valentino Joqui has been working as an Uber driver in
Las Vegas for one year now.

Speaker 18 (17:50):
I've been doing experiments throughout the month. So I've been
doing during the days and during the night. I've been
going food throttle. I put more hours and make less.

Speaker 11 (18:00):
The driver is now taking a different avenue and moving
back to California, as he says, business here is no longer.

Speaker 6 (18:06):
Worth it for him.

Speaker 10 (18:07):
Back in the day, you could make twenty five hundred
a week driving to Uber.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Wow, is that right?

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Twenty five ten grand, one hundred and twenty thousand dollars
a year driving Uber in Las Vegas?

Speaker 2 (18:19):
Man oh Man.

Speaker 10 (18:21):
Four thousand a week driving with a SUV.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Now, okay, four thousand a week driving an SUV in
Las Vegas, you make four grand a week. That's twenty
that's two hundred and forty thousand dollars a year, two
hundred and forty grand a year driving limousine in Vegas.

Speaker 10 (18:41):
Four thousand a week driving with a suv. Now I
work about sixty hours and make about seventeen hundred.

Speaker 11 (18:52):
Mark Dylan is another ride share driver who has also
seen his business affected definitely drop.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
Both drivers utilize pass is in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
This in Las Vegas where all this business is evaporating.

Speaker 11 (19:05):
Popular hotspots for riders.

Speaker 18 (19:07):
Weekends in what I actually wait at the airport area
and the airport area has been also very slow.

Speaker 11 (19:14):
A recent report from Harry Reid International Airport showed a
three point four percent drop in passenger traffic compared to
one year ago.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
We can't contribute that to anyone.

Speaker 11 (19:24):
Factor, Amanda Mazagati said. Those factors can include the time
of year as well as what events are taking place.
When asked if she thinks those numbers will see change
anytime soon.

Speaker 13 (19:34):
It could.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
We'll see.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
I mean all kinds of things bring people to Las Vegas.
The destination itself is very desirable. We are at the
sports and entertainment capital of the world.

Speaker 11 (19:45):
Dylan, who's been giving rides for seven years now, says
it's all about perspective. He recommends drivers expand their horizons
and take rides that aren't near the airport.

Speaker 10 (19:55):
I go all over the valley, wherever the app takes me.
I'm willing to go. I get one hundred dollar tips,
I get fifty dollars tips. It's who you get in
your car now.

Speaker 9 (20:06):
According to monthly statistics from the Taxi Cab Authority, many
cab companies reported a decrease in riders this past April
compared to last April.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
All Right, speaking of tips the tipping culture, forty one
percent of Americans think that tipping is out of control.
Everywhere you go, there's a jar or you got to know,
put your credit card in, and then you have to
press fifteen, eighteen, twenty twenty five, and you got to
do that right in front of the guy who's.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
Giving you the sandwich.

Speaker 19 (20:34):
From a quick coffee to your morning commute, pretty much
every day comes with the same debates.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
That's right, I'm throwing a book. I don't tip, you
know tip, I don't believe in it.

Speaker 19 (20:46):
And this morning, America is moving closer to a tipping point.

Speaker 17 (20:49):
Why am I being asked to tip twenty percent for
someone to hand me a pizza?

Speaker 6 (20:53):
I was paying for groceries.

Speaker 12 (20:56):
They asked me if I wanted to put a tip onto.

Speaker 7 (20:59):
That any day.

Speaker 19 (21:00):
Great survey finding more than forty percent of Americans think
tipping culture is out of control, a six point jump
from last year bank rates as women are more likely
to tip than men, while Gen Z and Millennials are
less likely to tip than older generation.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, Well there'll be money too, so scriwd.

Speaker 19 (21:19):
The classic restaurant tip is an automatic for you?

Speaker 7 (21:21):
Yeah, for me, it's twenty percent all the time. But
where do consumers draw the line?

Speaker 19 (21:26):
In Miami, people tell us they've been asked for tips everywhere,
from the dog roomer to a convenience store.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
I understand, dog groomer. You know somebody's take carry your dogs.
You want to tip them tips everywhere? From the dog roomer,
all right.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
I get the dog groomer, I get that one. I'm
in on that one.

Speaker 7 (21:39):
To a convenience store.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
No, no, who a convenience store, A seven to eleven
has a tip jar.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
I've never seen that my life.

Speaker 7 (21:47):
To a convenience store. You poured yourself to cognit, Yes,
you brought it to the county. Yes, and then when
you went.

Speaker 19 (21:53):
To pay, Yes, suggest you get them Yeah.

Speaker 7 (21:56):
So when you see that, Yeah, what goes through your mind?
It's frustrating.

Speaker 19 (21:59):
Perhaps one of the most infuriating forms of tipping those
gratuity suggestions that pop up when you pay at a.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Store that's right with your credit card fifteen eighteen twenty
twenty five percent bank.

Speaker 19 (22:09):
Rate says, staring down a pre enter tip screen, as
a growing number of Americans saying they tend to tip
less or not at all. If you didn't think there
was a pure pressure consequence, would you be walking.

Speaker 8 (22:21):
Out of it?

Speaker 7 (22:21):
Absolutely, do no tip.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
And if it's an easy no tip, then I will
know tip. Oh that guy my kind of guy.

Speaker 10 (22:27):
You know.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
If it wasn't for the pressure and no one knew,
I'd never tip.

Speaker 19 (22:32):
Coffee shop owner Orlando Superlano says a ten percent surcharge
is baked in to his customer's checks.

Speaker 7 (22:39):
I want to say a high percentage of our customers.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Let me ask you something, stephush. When when you drive uber,
do you know how much money they tip you? Does
that come up on your phone? Yeah, it'll show up
later once they get out of the car. I mean
they could tip during the ride, right, but it won't
give me the amount until after they've left until the
ride's over, but it will say how much. Yes, oh

(23:02):
that's pretty. And what's the biggest tip you've ever gotten?
The if you got like one hundred dollars tip? I
think the biggest tip I I was like twenty five
dollars in it was cash.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Wow.

Speaker 17 (23:11):
Because they were so desperate to get to where they
wanted to go.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Is that right? Yeah, somebody's got money. Man, that's wild.
Good for you, Good for you, dude.

Speaker 7 (23:19):
Actually say they want to do more than what we're
suggesting all of its.

Speaker 19 (23:22):
President Donald Trump pushes to eliminate the federal income tax
on tips. But if you want to save on taxes,
there's got to be something in the tip jar.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
And there's plenty more with that keys from Yeah, man,
people are burnt out on tipping.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yeah, I know you got to keep doing it to
keep people, you know, in the dough. But people are
just burning out I think on everything. Everyone's just so
tired of everybody and everything.

Speaker 15 (23:49):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
Still some people downtown after the raids and if that
gets any bigger, we will tell you about it.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Its like the people are going home.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
It's Friday. We'll go home and enjoy yourself. Okay, let's
talk about this. The dating apps. Dating Apps US is
issuing a warning about dating apps. How if you use
them and you enjoy them, they could be dangerous and
you could get killed.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
That seems to be an important message.

Speaker 14 (24:23):
This is one of those stories that's really a reminder
it can be so difficult to trust who you meet online.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Sometimes.

Speaker 14 (24:29):
The usbsc here in Mexico putting out this safety alert
saying it quote confirms several reports of US citizens being
kidnapped by individuals the victims met on dating apps in
the Puerto Bayata and Nuevo Nyeteat areas. These are, of course,
two very popular spots with tourists along the Mexican Pacific coast.
Mexican officials say in one of those cases, authorities rescued

(24:50):
an American citizens still alive in Nieteat, that victim being
quote lured to an apartment complex by someone pretending to
be his friend, the suspect then beating him and demanding
five to ten thousand.

Speaker 7 (25:01):
Dollars for his release.

Speaker 14 (25:03):
At least two other similar cases still under investigation. Thankfully
no deaths reported in any of these cases, the embassy
saying to stay safe, be cautious when.

Speaker 7 (25:12):
Using these apps.

Speaker 14 (25:12):
Your meat in public places, tell a friend what you're doing,
and of course, trust your instincts, because if it doesn't
feel right, it probably isn't.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
There You go, all right, well, you dater's out there.
Be careful. You gotta be careful, all right. Shoeotani is
in the news. His daughter was gifted a brand new car.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
I have a gift for you for wait minute.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Dave Roberts, the manager of the Dodgers, gave a brand
new car to Shoeotani's daughter.

Speaker 20 (25:41):
Actually for your.

Speaker 7 (25:42):
Daughter, so that.

Speaker 20 (25:45):
But this is a little bit of a joke.

Speaker 10 (25:47):
It's a Porsche. Yeah, but this is going to be
your daughter's first of it.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Okay, play today.

Speaker 21 (25:56):
Going to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. Before last night's game,
Roberts present a show Hey Otani with a gift for
his baby daughter, a remote controlled pink Porsche.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
It sucks.

Speaker 21 (26:07):
The gift is part of a running joke between the two,
which stems from a comment Roberts made last May, joking
that Otani should give him a Porsche.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
After Otani, there you go all right Chili's nineties restaurant chain.
You know, people like Chili's like to go out and
hit Chili's and the Rainforest Cafe. Remember that at Disneyland
that was a cool hang my bolt might be coming.

Speaker 6 (26:29):
Back, Jo Panic.

Speaker 20 (26:34):
It's still twenty twenty five, but some restaurant chains are
betting a blast from the past will help usher in
new business. The nineties are back at Chili's with the
new six dollars radical bread up.

Speaker 6 (26:45):
Remember the nineties when everything was colorful and mall's worth being.

Speaker 20 (26:49):
Yeah, maybe you're just old enough to remember this tune
I want my gene, or maybe that was well before
your time.

Speaker 6 (26:58):
How old are you?

Speaker 18 (26:59):
Nineteen?

Speaker 20 (27:00):
Either way, restaurant chains like Chili's want you.

Speaker 19 (27:03):
Back my baby back, Baby back, Baby back.

Speaker 6 (27:05):
Yeah, but your generation wants the triple dinner.

Speaker 19 (27:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 20 (27:08):
He's talking about the piping hot sensation making waves on TikTok, where.

Speaker 6 (27:15):
As gen z and millennials share their epico.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
So speaking about food, Stephfu is sure my go to
guy with this food.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
You like food like I do. Did you see the
Wendy's huh.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
Has put a put out their triple or double smoke bacon?
I did see that at grocery stores.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
I did.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
Yeah, how great is that? I want to try that? Yeah,
you can. You don't have to go all the way
to Wendy's. You can go to Von's or Ralves and
pick up the bacon then take it home. Oh that's
gotta be great. I'm gonna try that this weekend. I
actually thought of you last night. I got some chili
from Wendy's. Yeah, it's the best, man, it's the best.

Speaker 6 (27:52):
Epic cheese pulls on social media, just.

Speaker 20 (27:54):
Some videos about like going there and to like chili's
for example, obviously was.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
It hot stefoo? Oh was it hot? Oh yeah, it's
always hotter than hell.

Speaker 17 (28:05):
Yeah, exactly where I have to like, yeah, because when
I bring it home, it's you can smell it like
on the drives, right yeah. And then I take it out,
I have to like and put it on the plate.
Let it like cool out. But then it's great because
when it's hot, I stir the cheese and the onions,
and then when you pull it up, you see that
cheese starts to pull.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
It's kind of going on.

Speaker 5 (28:26):
Yeah, like just going there with your friends and like
sharing like a triple dipper platter.

Speaker 20 (28:31):
To explore the strategy of luring in customers new and old.
We went into the wilds of the Grain Forest Cafe.

Speaker 6 (28:38):
You guys drove two hours. You drove one hour all
to be.

Speaker 7 (28:41):
Right here exactly.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Wow, two hours to get to a chili seems high.

Speaker 6 (28:46):
All of them hungry.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
It does seem like a little like a little over
over the top.

Speaker 6 (28:51):
All of them hungry for some nostalgia.

Speaker 20 (28:53):
Given that you were not alive in the nineties, do
you feel like you just stepped back in time?

Speaker 7 (28:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:00):
How old are these people? Not alive in the nineties.

Speaker 17 (29:02):
This is kind of reminded me of how The Office
had a resurgence when it went onto Netflix.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
Oh yeah, right, yeah yeah.

Speaker 17 (29:07):
When I watched it, no one like you, no one
watched it, so I was like on my own. And
then all of a sudden, everyone knows about the Office
and it's super cool.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
So it TikTok really brought Chilli's back. I guess Yeah,
I think you're right. I think you're absolutely right.

Speaker 9 (29:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (29:20):
A lot of the animatronics remind me of old Chuck e.

Speaker 6 (29:23):
Cheeses, and that's by design.

Speaker 14 (29:25):
It is easier to fall back to nostalgia and you
may not even have to advertise it.

Speaker 20 (29:31):
This New York Times report shows how casual dining restaurants
keep turning to retro packaging and reboots of dishes from
the past to attract younger diners.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
So you go, Chili's and Rainforest Cafe making a comeback.
All right, next time you go to Costco, they'll be
testing something. Maybe at your local Costco. The scan and
Go technology.

tech to let customers skip the long checkout lines. Eva
Pilgrim is here to break down how it works. Good morning, Eva.

You know when you check out self checkout at Costco,
there's a recording that the cash register says when you're done,
and it says it goes, thank you for shopping at
cost Co.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
They mispronounced the name of the store.

Speaker 17 (30:22):

shopping a cost.

Never ever in my life have I taken four days
