1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 2: So Fat Burger is reorganizing. They are finding a market 3 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 2: conditions just not working for them, big southern California chain 4 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 2: based in Beverly Hills. 5 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 3: Beverly Hills based Fat Brands, it filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy. 6 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 3: Fat Brands is parent company of Fat Burger and Johnny 7 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 3: Brocketts Fat Brands. 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 2: That's what they went with for the LLC. Like Fat Burger, 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: I get because it's a big burger and nobody thinks 10 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 2: that you're going to a fat Burger to get healthy food, right. 11 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: It's a delight. And Johnny Rockets is its own thing, 12 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 2: by the way, Johnny Rocketts, they just remodeled the Johnny 13 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 2: Rockets at Knottsberry Farm. I just saw this on the news, 14 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: And like Knotsberry Farm has been redesigning its entire chicken, 15 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 2: its fried chicken boys and berry thing for a long 16 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: time and they find they were doing it and then 17 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: COVID hit and it really slowed everything down like everything 18 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 2: else did. So now the Johnny Rockets and Nottsberry Farm 19 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 2: in Buena Park is not there anymore, but they got 20 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 2: this new chicken place that that isn't because Fat Brands 21 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 2: is filing for bankruptcy, but just an aside to the story. 22 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 2: But Fat Brands, the parent company of Fat Burger and 23 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 2: Johnny Rockets, having a hard time these days. 24 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 3: Fat Brands is parent company of Fat Burger and Johnny Brocketts. 25 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: The publication Restaurant Business as a memo to employees outlines 26 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 3: difficult market conditions over the past few years. 27 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 2: So this is not the only one. Lots of difficult 28 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: market conditions at a lot of these stores. And it's 29 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: not just the minimum wage thing, and it's not just 30 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 2: the costs of ingredients, both of which at least the 31 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 2: McDonald's company tells us that's the reason that the ices 32 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: are just out of control at a McDonald's. Right, what 33 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,639 Speaker 2: you people in California did to us with the minimum 34 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: wage law and the price of ingredients, It's not just 35 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: that the market is changing. It's significantly changing. The people 36 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 2: that used to look to McDonald's and Fat Burger and 37 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: Tommy Tommy's Burger, and write that entire sector of society 38 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: that looked to it to eat regularly. The prices are 39 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 2: now out of reach. So if it's going to cost 40 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 2: me eleven dollars at McDonald's. There's no value there. It's 41 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: still good. I'm not talking anything bad about McDonald's or 42 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: fat Burger or anything else. It's just that it's expensive. 43 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: Then you add that to the people that would go 44 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 2: every once in a while as a treat, and they're 45 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: just not going anymore. And then you add this new element, 46 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: the GOP one people who can eat effectively whatever they want, 47 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: and they eat protein, and there is protein in a 48 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: fat burger, but they can't eat those large sandwiches. You 49 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 2: can't just eat a lot, so you got to cut 50 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: in a half, wrap it up. I mean, it's doggy 51 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: bag city with the GLP one people, and the GLP 52 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 2: one world has impacted the fast food industry, probably bigger 53 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: than anybody else, because think about it, who's gonna go on. Obviously, 54 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: wealthy people with vanity will go on GLP ones, right 55 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: because they can afford it. They don't have to get 56 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: their insurance, they can shell out. It used to be 57 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: thirteen hundred dollars a month, then it went down to 58 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: one thousand dollars a month. Now it's in the fives, 59 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: I guess, But five hundred dollars a month is a 60 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: lot of money. I mean, that's a car payment. So 61 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 2: it's still in the world of people with means with 62 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: significant disposable income. But if you are in the category 63 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: of people that insurance covers it. You used to be 64 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: a regular at fat Burger. You used to be a 65 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: regular at McDonald's, right, I mean, think about it. The 66 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: people that get big enough that insurance says, okay, we 67 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: don't have vanity here. This person definitely needs to be 68 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: on GLP one. With all due respect, you used to 69 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 2: go to Arby's. You were there a lot. You had 70 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: to be. There's no other way you can get that 71 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 2: size without having gone. Now you're on the weight loss 72 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: drug and you're not going in there anymore. You may 73 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: yearn well, no, that's the whole thing. You don't even that. 74 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 2: The way this drug works is these drugs is the 75 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 2: food noise, as Oprah Winfrey calls it, is gone. It's 76 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 2: not calling you. So you don't have that relationship anymore 77 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 2: that you used to have with Fat Burger or any 78 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 2: of the other chains, and they're pretty much left into dust. 79 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 2: So it's gonna be interesting to see how this all 80 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,119 Speaker 2: shakes out and where this all lands. As I said, 81 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: I think it's great. I think that if there are 82 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 2: medicines out there that allow people to be healthy, you 83 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 2: can call it cheating if you want. You can say 84 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: they're taking the easy way out. You can say that 85 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: I ought to get a gold star because I went 86 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: to the gym and I trained for half marathons and 87 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 2: I'm thin, and this person all they did was their 88 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 2: insurance company paid for this injection, and all they did 89 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 2: was wait until the weight came off. You can have 90 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 2: that argument if you want. In society, I just think 91 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: it's better that we're healthy. And for whatever reason. You 92 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: can call it laziness if you want, a lot of 93 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 2: people weren't getting healthy fast enough, and that they are 94 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 2: now getting help healthy with respect to these injections, or 95 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 2: now they're going to be pills, I think we're all 96 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 2: better off. I think our insurance premiums should start coming 97 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 2: down or stop going up, because being unhealthy is very expensive, 98 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 2: and a society that's unhealthy is very expensive. So hooray, 99 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 2: they finally did it. They invented the magic pill that 100 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: they told us there was no such thing as a 101 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: magic pill. You're still fine, if you're at the gym, 102 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: you're still doing the right thing. There's nothing wrong, and 103 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 2: you know you're saving your copey. So let's all look great. 104 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 2: This is Southern California, summer's coming. We should all look 105 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 2: amaze balls in those swimsuits. So that's great, But the 106 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: unintended consequences is there were a lot of fast food 107 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: industries right here in southern California that are going to 108 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 2: really feel the pinch. I'm fond of Fat Burger because uniquely, foosh, 109 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 2: you know this, they have relish on their burgers. Who 110 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 2: else serves relish on a burger? What a good idea. 111 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 2: We all thought that relish only belonged on a hot dog. 112 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 2: And some people don't even do that, like you know 113 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: most people that I mean, they're just with the ketchup 114 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 2: and mustard on the hot dog. There are some hot 115 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: dog officionados and people from Chicago, you know, they go 116 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: to town with the diced onions and the relish. And 117 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 2: at Costco they have that little wheelly dispenser with the 118 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: spinning wheel. I love that, but it's again just for 119 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: the hot dog. How did we miss the hamburger? Fat 120 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 2: Burger saved us from a delight relish on the burger. 121 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 2: Such a smart idea and they do it, and now 122 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: I'm thinking about it. What was the last time you 123 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: had a fat burger? 124 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: By the way we do? 125 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 2: Oh man, it's been a long time, right, Why so long? 126 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: What are we waiting for? I don't know. We're having burgers, 127 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 2: but we haven't had relish on a burger in a while. 128 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 4: Okay, I got to break in here. I've never had 129 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 4: fat burger, but there's one not far from where. Can 130 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 4: you make the case for these? Apart from relish? 131 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: They are it's a meal, it's its own thing, right, 132 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 2: Like you don't need to get fries in a soda 133 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 2: and forur chicken McNuggets with it. Like McDonald's are constantly 134 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 2: shrinking the size of their actual sandwich. Yeah, so they 135 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: round it out by saying, well, the meal now comes 136 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: with four chicken McNuggets. You couldn't eat four chicken mc 137 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 2: nuggets after a fatburger. It's a meal. You could cut 138 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: it in half and take the other half home and 139 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 2: you would feel very satisfied. Okay, and the relish when 140 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 2: was the last I mean, have you ever had relish 141 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 2: on a burger? 142 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 4: It feels like something that old people like my grandparents 143 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 4: would have done. You know, along with some mayonnaise something 144 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 4: like that. 145 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. 146 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 4: The old people that I grew up with, they liked 147 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 4: a lot of lube on their food and that included 148 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 4: relish and mayonnaise. 149 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 2: That's great. I have large fries, pie and large coffee 150 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 2: before I go to the foot doctor. 151 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 4: And then I will work with propane and propane accessories 152 00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 4: for the rest of the day. 153 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: For you, Mark Ron, that's the reference you're listening to 154 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty on demand. 155 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 2: Fat Burger is reorganizing. Fat Burger is also owns Johnny Rockets. 156 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 2: They're having problems too, and it's all because the entire 157 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 2: industry of eating fast food is changing really really really quickly, 158 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 2: and other things are happening too. Right. They're promoting I 159 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 2: saw that McDonald's was doing this on Fox Business. They 160 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 2: are hyper promoting the amount of protein that is in 161 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 2: each sandwich. This is for the people, not just the 162 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: people that are on GLP ones that are dying to 163 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 2: get as much protein as possible, but also the steak people. 164 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 2: The reason that grocery prices are coming down in almost 165 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 2: every category. Egg prices are coming down, Milk prices are 166 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: coming down. The reason that's happening for every category X 167 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 2: step for beef. Did you know why this is? Like 168 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 2: go and look, chicken prices are coming way down. I 169 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 2: saw chicken thighs a dolera ety nine a pound in 170 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 2: the bonus pack, so you get a bunch of them. 171 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 2: But I have a lot of people to feed, So 172 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 2: like chicken thighs in the in the air fryar way 173 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 2: to go. I mean, all you have to do is 174 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 2: just put them in there. You don't even have to 175 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 2: seizon them, and they come out perfectly. One pound. That's 176 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 2: a lot of chicken thighs. So chicken prices have come down, 177 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 2: pork has come down, bacon has come down. The only 178 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 2: thing that has. 179 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: Held is beef. 180 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 2: And the reason that is is because everybody is on 181 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 2: this beef kick right now on social media, whether you 182 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 2: followed Joe Rogan or any these TikTok health guys, they're 183 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 2: all telling everybody that you should be eating a ribbi 184 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 2: for breakfast and then a ribbi and eggs for lunch. 185 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 2: And people are doing it. And you even have physics. 186 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 2: Back in the day, physicians would tell you that's a 187 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 2: bad idea, But now you have physicians on social media 188 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 2: telling you Yeah, that's a pretty good way to eat. 189 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 2: Try and get some fruit in there if you can. 190 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 2: But if you're gonna eat a very specific diet and 191 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 2: it's just a steak, they're saying that's a good thing now. 192 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: So people are doing it like people are and that's 193 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: causing a shortage because there's just so many cows. It 194 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 2: takes a while for a cow to become a steak 195 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 2: from birth. So and if everybody's out there following these 196 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 2: diet trends of just eating ribbis and steaks for like, 197 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 2: for two or three meals a day, seven days a week, 198 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: that's going to create a shortage. And that's exactly what's happened. 199 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: So some of these food restaurants, some of these burger 200 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 2: restaurants are saying, hey, we have cow in here, and 201 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 2: this cow has got protein too, and you go, you 202 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 2: know Keto's style with the big Mac and all of that. 203 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 2: So the industries that are trying to attract those people, 204 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 2: and it's just really interesting to see the way it's 205 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 2: all shaken out. Amazon is closing their stores to the 206 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 2: Amazon Fresh stores. That was a big miss. Uh, They're 207 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: they're they're close. I think they're closing that all of 208 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 2: them in La in Orange County. I did try the 209 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: Amazon I don't know what the name of it is. 210 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 2: It's like just where you don't you just scan your 211 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 2: card as you walk in and then you just grab 212 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 2: whatever you want and walk out. Oh the Amazon Fresh, 213 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 2: Amazon Fresh, they have one. I don't think it's Amazon Fresh. 214 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: It's like the convenience version of Amazon. Is that called 215 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 2: Amazon Fresh. 216 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 3: They have the name of all of the Amazon Go 217 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 3: and Amazon Fresh. 218 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 2: That's it, Amazon Go. There's an Amazon Go in the 219 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 2: new the new, like the Delta gates over at Lax. 220 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 2: They've just redid them and they're really nice. Like I 221 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 2: wish that all of Lax would look like Delta, just 222 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 2: very nice, very clean, very new new uh new. You know, 223 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 2: computers everywhere. And yeah, they have an Amazon Go and 224 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 2: it's weird, like it's a great big glass enclosure, so 225 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 2: everybody there can see you shopping and you're just basically 226 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 2: buying food for the plane, but like there's no transaction, 227 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 2: they're no people, there's nobody there to help you. You 228 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 2: just grab whatever you want and walk out and then 229 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 2: somehow scans everything, like you don't have to scan, like 230 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 2: you've done the self checkout where you scan everything. This 231 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 2: is you don't even do that. I have absolutely no 232 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 2: idea how it knows what I put in my basket, 233 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: and then it just hits my card on the way 234 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: and I don't have to show my card. So it's 235 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 2: pretty amazing. But now it's closed, and the Amazon Fresh too, 236 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 2: they're all, uh, they're all shutting down. 237 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 3: All of the Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh physical stores 238 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 3: are closing as early as as. Amazon focuses on whole 239 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 3: foods and online same day delivery, so they're. 240 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 2: Gonna go with same day delivery. It's it's interesting. I'm 241 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 2: pleased Amazon gave it a shot. They said, let's put 242 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 2: up stores, let's let's sign a couple of leases. Let's 243 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 2: it's just just just goes to show you how well 244 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: Amazon is doing that. It's got this kind of like 245 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 2: internal venture capital. Let's let's give it a shot. Let's 246 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 2: put up Amazon stores for food. And it was interesting 247 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: and fun, but competing with the Krogers of the world 248 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 2: not as easy to do. And they decided, you know what, 249 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: we gave it a go. It doesn't work. We're going 250 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 2: to replace the idea of you coming to our store 251 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 2: to shop for your groceries. With us driving it to you, 252 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 2: and that's where they're gonna put the focus. 253 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 3: As Amazon focuses on whole foods and online same day delivery. 254 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 3: The company he is planning to open more than one 255 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 3: hundred new whole foods markets over the next few years. 256 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 3: Amazon says It's fresh and ghost stores failed to deliver 257 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 3: the right economic model and distinctive customer experience necessary for 258 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 3: a large scale expansion. 259 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, because it was very weird. I love that it 260 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: failed to deliver the experience. That meant it was kind 261 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: of weird, not having anybody to talk to, like especially 262 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 2: when there's another convenience store, you know at the airport 263 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: where there's actually a lady there. But yeah, I was 264 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 2: worth it for to give it a try. But I 265 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 2: didn't think it's a good model. Like, if you think 266 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 2: about it, the technology is there to not have anybody 267 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: in the grocery store and just you you. I mean, 268 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 2: obviously there needs to be somebody to stock shells, but 269 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 2: I suppose that could be automated too. You look at 270 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 2: some of these Amazon warehouses out in San Bernadina and 271 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 2: there are robots all day, every day working, So why 272 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 2: can't the robots stock the shelves overnight at the Amazon 273 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 2: store and then you just walk in, put everything in 274 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 2: a shopping cart, and walk out, and it's just scanning 275 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: you at all times. So it works. But I don't 276 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 2: think we were ready for it. I think it's one 277 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 2: of those it was too futuristic. So it'll probably come back, 278 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: and one day there will be a competitor at Amazon. 279 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 2: That's going to be interesting to see. How you know, 280 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 2: what what is the android to this Apple? 281 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 282 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: Very cold still in the southeast, and it even hit Florida. Now, 283 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 2: Florida was able to escape most of the very cold temperatures. 284 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 2: It probably got into Jacksonville, but that's pretty much it. 285 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 2: The Florida Panhandle is pretty cold, but Florida was able 286 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 2: to be out of this system. And in Miami it 287 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 2: was still in the seventies, while just north one state 288 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 2: north of Miami, in Georgia and in Alabama was like 289 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 2: in it was twenty two degrees like in southern Alabama. 290 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: But yet it was ninety degrees eighty degrees in Miami Dade. 291 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 2: But in northern Florida that's where the strawberries are, it's 292 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 2: still too cold for strawberries. Now, they saved the strawberries. 293 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,719 Speaker 2: And this is amazing what they did when it got 294 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 2: very cold at night in Florida at the strawberry farm, 295 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: they did the one thing that I would have thought 296 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 2: you would never do, and that is they watered the strawberries. 297 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 2: Because the water in the ground and the water in 298 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 2: the hose is still Florida water, so it's still really warm. 299 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 2: So they like, as the air got cold and the 300 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 2: strawberries got cold, they gave the strawberries like a warm spot. 301 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 2: And as the air temperature freezed the water that was 302 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 2: on the strawberries, it actually insulated the strawberries and kept 303 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 2: the strawberries at exactly thirty two degrees. How brilliant is 304 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: that this is botany? 305 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 5: Every bit of red checking. Strawberry field at Parksdale Farms 306 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 5: will likely be gone within the week. Gary Park explains overnight, 307 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 5: as the thermometer drops, they'll be deploying their most trusted weapon, 308 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 5: water water. 309 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 2: Can you imagine that, Foosh? If I was to tell you, hey, 310 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 2: it's really cold out, we're gonna lose the farm. Go 311 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 2: water everything, Brad, you would think it's gonna freeze everything 312 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: it's gonna quickly freeze everything. Like I never would have 313 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 2: thought of that. These people know what they're doing. This 314 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 2: is agribusiness because you know, strawberries is a big h 315 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 2: that's a big crop. Can't do strawberry margarita's. 316 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 5: Without them, means overnight, as the thermometer drops, they'll be 317 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 5: deploying their most trusted weapon. 318 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 6: Water. See, the strawberries can handle thirty two degrees, that 319 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 6: can't handle below thirty two. So if you turn the 320 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 6: pumps on and you got the warm water and the 321 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 6: warm and the water of course freezes at thirty two, 322 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 6: you get a nice thirty two degrees warm blanket. 323 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 2: And a thirty two degree warm blanket. And I thought 324 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 2: about it. I was amazed when I saw this story. 325 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 2: I'm like, this is amazing. I'd never heard of this 326 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 2: technique before to spray water on the freezing crop to 327 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 2: keep it at thirty two degrees. And that might be 328 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: unique to the strawberry. I don't know. Maybe some some 329 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 2: fruit can't make it the thirty two degrees, But if 330 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 2: you think about it, that does make sense. If you're 331 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 2: going to have yourself a blended cocktail and you have 332 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 2: extra strawberries you put the strawberries in the freezer and 333 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 2: you freeze them. My wife likes to do this when 334 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 2: we're in the springtime. That's like always a good cocktail. 335 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 2: You get that white tequila, the blanco tequila, and you 336 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 2: freeze the strawberries and then a little bit of ice. 337 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 2: But you still need more liquid. You gotta be careful. 338 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 2: You don't want to make it more liquid you by 339 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 2: putting more tequila. You gotta put a limit on the tequila. 340 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 2: And then sometimes we use coconut water, so you have 341 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 2: a coconut strawberry delight. And if you think about it, 342 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: when you freeze the strawberries, they still taste like strawberries. 343 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 2: So the farmer's right. The strawberry can handle thirty two 344 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 2: degrees but no lower. So if you spray water on it, 345 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 2: it's gonna be warm water. So the strawberry is gonna 346 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: have a nice, a nice time for a little while. 347 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 2: But eventually, if the air stays at thirty two degrees 348 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 2: or even lower than thirty two degrees, the water will 349 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: freeze on the strawberry, but it will it'll completely cocoon 350 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 2: the strawberry in a thirty two degree little ice robe. 351 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 6: So if you turn the pumps on, and you got 352 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 6: the warm water and the war and the water of 353 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 6: course freezes at thirty two. You get a nice thirty 354 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 6: two degrees warm blanket, and we save as much craft 355 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 6: as we can. 356 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 5: There is, though, a tasty sigh to the cold temps. 357 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 5: A sweeter strawberry grows thanks to the apstra sugar the 358 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 5: plant produces to fortify it's fruit in Plant City, Jennieve Curtis, 359 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 5: Fox News. 360 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 2: Did you know that because of this, because of the 361 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 2: cold temperatures, the strawberry knows to produce more sugar? Who knew? 362 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 2: And I had no idea the strawberry was even aware 363 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 2: of the forecast, well, let alone the almanac, and it 364 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: produces more sugar, and therefore, and that I guess helps 365 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: keep it alive in the colder temperature, and you wind 366 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 2: up with a sweeter strawberry. Isn't that amazing? Like absolutely 367 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,719 Speaker 2: amazing the things that you learn in times of adversity 368 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 2: and snowstorms. These plants, man, and these these agrib business people, 369 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 2: they got it down. I'd bless these farmers. All I 370 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 2: could think about when I heard this story was do 371 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 2: you remember the movie The Martian where he got stuck 372 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 2: on Mars and figured out how much food he had, 373 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 2: and he only had food for like two hundred days, 374 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 2: and he had to make it to four hundred days. 375 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 2: So he had to grow food on Mars with nothing 376 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 2: but like a couple of potatoes. I thought about that guy, 377 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 2: that character in the movie. I'm like, when he made 378 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 2: it back to the United States, this is probably the 379 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 2: job he got figuring out how to keep the strawberries 380 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 2: alive during the once in a lifetime or at least 381 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 2: once in every ten year winter storm that hit northern Florida. 382 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 2: That is incredible, Mark Ronerd. The strawberries is going to 383 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 2: be sweeter now for this spring. So the strawberries that 384 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 2: you cut up and make the Fourth of July cake 385 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 2: that you make every year with the red, white, and 386 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 2: blue and the strawberries are the red stripes. 387 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 4: Well, actually, I just bought one of those giant bottles 388 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 4: of Costco blant Go tequila yesterday, so I was you're 389 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 4: all gonna be all set?

You freeze the strawberry, 392 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 2: You freeze whatever's like, whatever fruit you have, and you 393 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 2: use that as ice and it's just a winner. 394 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, then you're getting you're helping a fruit for the 395 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 4: day too. 396 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 2: You get your helping a fruit.

They thrive at thirty two degrees. They get 399 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 2: sweeter at thirty two degrees. Who knew? So these are 400 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: the kinds of things that come out of these uh 401 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 2: these stories of the of the cold and the all 402 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 2: the problems that we're having because there's i mean, there's 403 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 2: still without without power.

They have a new topping, a 414 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 2: new sauce if you will, and it doesn't sound it 415 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 2: does it's not a good name. The name doesn't sound good, 416 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 2: but it looks like it tastes very well. And the 417 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 2: folks over at Fox eleven during the morning show they 418 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,479 Speaker 2: tried it out and it went over really well with 419 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 2: one anchor and the other anchor not so much. And 420 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 2: we'll share that with you. It's kind of funny the 421 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 2: way they played it out, so we'll do that next. 422 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand. 423 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 2: Chick fil A is offering free breakfast to everyone in 424 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 2: southern California all this week.

I mean, I guess an egg 427 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 2: is chicken, but it sounds like lunch to me. Of course, 428 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 2: you got to go to the Chick fil A app 429 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 2: Los Angeles, Orange Riverside, San Berndino, and Ventura Counties.

Limit one per 433 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 2: person while supplies last. And the free breakfast isn't to 434 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 2: promote their breakfast, it's to promote their new Parmerson Caesar sauce, 435 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 2: which I said, it doesn't like. That doesn't sound if 436 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 2: I just told you, hey, there's a new sauce. It's 437 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 2: called Palmerson Caesar. That doesn't sound good, Like it's not 438 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 2: calling me. In fact, they could have just said Chick 439 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 2: fil A has a new sauce and that that's all 440 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 2: you needed to say, because Chick fil A sauce is 441 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 2: legendarily good. So here is Fox eleven. This is hysterical. 442 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 2: So Brooke Thomas is the anchor. She's co anchoring with 443 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 2: Bob di Castro and they're talking about it. She's obviously 444 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 2: a huge fan of the of the new Parmesan Caesar. Well, 445 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 2: I'll let you hear it for yourself, but you can 446 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 2: tell there's some kind of breakdown between the two anchors here. 447 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 7: Chick fil A has on unveiled a new item that 448 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 7: you can now find in restaurants. Okay, take a look 449 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 7: at their brand new Parmesan Caesar dressing. The dressing comes 450 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,479 Speaker 7: in a twelve ounce bottle. 451 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 8: I'm kind of a purist when it comes to Chick 452 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 8: fil A. I mean, what do you mean, you don't 453 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 8: mean any dressing? 454 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 7: Oh, Chick fil A sauce is one of the best 455 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 7: things I was ever invented. I literally have a bottle 456 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 7: in my fridge in my office because sometimes they forget 457 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 7: your packet. Parmesan seizure is interesting though, because don't you 458 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 7: always add what was that? 459 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: Was that parmesan? What'd you say? 460 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:40,879 Speaker 8: Parmesan seizear? 461 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 6: Is? 462 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 8: Parmesan seizear? 463 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 2: Is having a parmesan seizure. That's actually pretty funny. But 464 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 2: you can see they. 465 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 4: Are the. 466 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 2: They're not in agreement on this. I can't tell if 467 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 2: he's if Bob de Castro is just playing like deadpan 468 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 2: because she seems so excited about it, or if he's 469 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 2: really turned off with the idea of a parmesan caesar 470 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 2: sauce on his chicken. He does like Chick fil a. 471 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 2: He says he's a real purist on it, but he's 472 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 2: not playing along. 473 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 8: Because sometimes they forget your packet. 474 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 7: Parmesan szar is interesting though, because don't you always add 475 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 7: parmesan to the salad? 476 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 8: Yeah, make a season. I'll try it. Though. 477 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 2: You know, we've not had a good anchor fight in 478 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 2: La in a while. Back in the day, you could 479 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 2: count on that every once in a while there would 480 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 2: be some something that went down between the weather girl 481 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 2: and the anchor. Or. The Usually the sports guy would 482 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 2: say something offensive to the woman anchor, and you could 483 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 2: just tell the retention and somebody would say something and 484 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 2: they would have to go to commercial break or just 485 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 2: move on like we have. When was the last time, 486 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: I can't remember the last time, Roner, When was the 487 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 2: last time we had a good anchor walk off the 488 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 2: set line during the eleven o'clock news in Los Angeles? 489 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 4: I don't know about that, but if you were reading 490 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 4: between the lines and what you just played, she just 491 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 4: called him an idiot and told him to go blank himself. 492 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 2: Right on television. That's exactly what I got too. He 493 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 2: wasn't playing it like like, Yeah, we've all been in 494 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 2: those situations trying to make something out of nothing or 495 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: trying to take something somewhere and the other person just 496 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 2: not on board and they're not helping us out, and 497 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 2: we got to kind of wrap up the thought on 498 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 2: our own and get out of it gracefully. And he 499 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 2: basically hung around the dry here. 500 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 3: It is. 501 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 7: Parmesan seizure is interesting though, because don't you always add 502 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 7: parmesan to the salad? 503 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, make a season I'll try it though, keep it 504 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 8: the way I like it. 505 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 4: I think he just implicitly called her something right back. 506 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm just gonna keep it the way. 507 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 7: I like it. 508 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 2: I'm a big fan. 509 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 4: I love when when phony TV talk goes bad and 510 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 4: you can just you can feel the animosity under what 511 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 4: is said and it's barely encoded. 512 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 2: It was so great because she was trying so hard 513 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 2: to get him to play and he wouldn't play, and 514 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 2: it just fell flat. So I and that might he 515 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 2: maybe he thought, you know, playing straight might be funnier. 516 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 2: So I don't know if he's angry with her or not, 517 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 2: but that segment didn't that that just it petered out. 518 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 2: And it's so funny because she was trying so hard 519 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 2: to make something out of it and then she she 520 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 2: tried to, you know, take it in another direction. Well 521 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 2: that's kind of interesting though, that calling it, you know, 522 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 2: parmesan caesar because you add parmesan onto the caesar. So 523 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 2: but this is the whole sauce is called parmesan caesar 524 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 2: onto the chicken. He's like, yeah, whatever, I'll just take 525 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 2: it the way I like it. 526 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 4: Well, what he should have done is ask her what 527 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 4: the correct way was to treat a parmesan seizure. Do 528 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 4: you put a pencil in someone's mouth? 529 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 2: What do you do if he's really gonna yes, to 530 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 2: get right back to her? But yeah, it didn't end 531 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 2: on the laft. There was no guffaw, there was no punchline, 532 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 2: there was no nothing. It just landed flat and went nowhere. 533 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 2: But that's what I thought. I thought, Hey, these two 534 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 2: and I couldn't. I wanted to wait after the commercial 535 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 2: to see how they were relating thereafter, but I had 536 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 2: to go. It's been a while since there's been a 537 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 2: knockdown drag out on the set, but they used to happen, 538 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 2: not so regularly, but every once in a while there 539 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 2: would be some kind of terse word and then they 540 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 2: have to come back and the seasoned anchor, the guy 541 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 2: that's been there, you know for twenty years, we have 542 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 2: to apologize to our viewers in that last segment, just 543 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 2: the passions got the best of us, and we just 544 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 2: want to make sure that you get the straights to 545 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 2: it right. There's always the apology or something like that. 546 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 2: I remember, Gosh, Larry King Live and like having Larry 547 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 2: King's guests yell at each other would be interesting. But 548 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 2: you know, they were, they were, they were debating each other. 549 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 2: It's when like Larry King's single guest starts arguing with 550 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 2: Larry and then Larry argues back and they go to 551 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 2: a break. I'm trying to think of who it was, 552 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 2: but oh, it was who wrote the book, the Virtue Book. 553 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 2: He was in the Reagan administration. Then he got busted 554 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 2: for gambling too much. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well the guy 555 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 2: with the silver hair Department of Education. I know you're 556 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 2: talking about, but I can't think of his name. I 557 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 2: can't think of his name. But he was arguing with 558 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 2: Larry King and they just they they went back and forth, 559 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 2: and after the commercial break they had you know, Larry 560 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 2: had to apologize. Hey, do you want to apologize? We've 561 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 2: been friends for a long time. Passions got the best 562 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 2: of us. Kind of a thing. And I always like that, 563 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 2: like I like when that stuff happens on television. Was 564 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: it Bill Bennett happened? Yeah, Bill Bennett. That's exactly right. 565 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 2: He got into an argument with Bill Bennett live on 566 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 2: television and they had to go to break because they 567 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 2: didn't know where to take this. Bill Bennett wouldn't give 568 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 2: up and Larry's like, I'm just asking the questions and 569 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 2: it was ailarious. 570 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 4: I love when when live TV gets awkward and old 571 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 4: Johnny Carson shows are still good for that, oh. 572 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 2: For for sure. 573 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 4: Well you know there's I mean, like Shelly Winters with 574 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 4: Shelley Winters dumps a drink on Oliver Reed's head, or 575 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 4: or Burt Reynolds through a drink and some game show 576 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 4: hosts face and I can't remember the mark, uh Mark, 577 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 4: what's his He's filled in here before, I should remember 578 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 4: his name. But live TV is wonderful for moments like that. 579 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 2: It's wonderful because these people are seasoned professional entertainers and 580 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 2: many of them have done stand up or have certainly 581 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 2: worked a room. 582 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 6: Right. 583 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 2: You get Don Rickles walking live onto the set while 584 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 2: there is a Frank Sinatra interview going on, and it's 585 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 2: just the hilarious stuff. Hilarious stuff. It happened in radio 586 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 2: back in the day too, from time to time, not 587 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 2: on talk radio, but like FM radio, where DJs would 588 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 2: get angry with their bosses and would lock themselves in 589 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 2: the control booth and play songs like the same song 590 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 2: over and over and over again. It's been a while 591 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 2: since that happened.

Then 598 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 2: she gets fired and she wants up at another station 599 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 2: with another last name.
