Today's Headlines: Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested in Miami by US Marshals at the UK's request, facing 59 total charges including rape, sex trafficking, assault, and charges related to indecent images of a child — their attorney says they're innocent, they'll fight extradition. On the corruption beat, Trump is now selling hedge funds early access to his Truth Social posts for $100,000 a month through a service called Truth API, which is institutionalized insider trading dressed up as a subscription service — and he owns 41% of the company selling it, so that's clean. Meanwhile, Trump's primetime election fraud document dump turned out to contain zero evidence of Chinese meddling or a deep state coverup, but did confirm that Russia was pushing the exact same Biden corruption narratives Trump was pushing in 2020 — which is not the smoking gun he was looking for. In other news, The State Department hosted a global left-wing terrorism summit led by Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller, with 60+ countries invited on short notice to discuss a threat that far-right extremists — responsible for over 75% of domestic terrorism deaths since 2001 — were not mentioned at, not even once. In war news, four US service members were killed after Iran struck Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan with ballistic missiles and drones, bringing the total American death toll to 17 since the war started, and Trump's response was to order the military to "open the gates of hell" on Iran. After the mystery explosive diarrhea culprit was discovered, Taylor Farms recalled all of its central Mexico iceberg lettuce across 27 states, with Walmart, Sysco, and Taco Bell pulling products, and the same lettuce supplies Chipotle, McDonald's, Costco, and Trader Joe's, so America's salad situation is complicated. And finally, Spain won the World Cup defeating Argentina 1-0 in overtime, Trump attended, got booed multiple times, and photobombed Spain's trophy photos by overstaying his welcome on stage. .

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including the origin of the cyclosporiasis outbreak, the troubling rise in bankruptcies and closures, and a wave of new marketing campaigns aimed at winning back customers. They start with some explosive news related to the recent outbreak of cyclosporiasis: Investigators believe the origin of the outbreak was Taylor Farms in Michigan, and specifically iceberg lettuce provided to Taco Bell and potentially other restaurants. The news led to Taco Bell removing lettuce from the menu in select states. The duo breaks down what cyclospora is, how these outbreaks happen in the supply chain, and what this means for both Taylor Farms and Taco Bell as they work to contain the situation and restore consumer confidence. They discuss the broader implications for restaurant food safety protocols and how quickly brands need to respond when these incidents occur.Next, they tackle a sobering trend that's been accelerating in recent months: the increasing number of restaurant bankruptcies and store closures across the industry. From legacy chains to newer concepts, more brands are filing for bankruptcy protection or announcing significant unit reductions. Sam and Alicia explore the root causes behind this wave of financial distress, including persistent traffic challenges, rising operational costs, and overleveraged balance sheets.On a more optimistic note, Sam and Alicia then shift their attention to marketing, highlighting new campaigns from several major players including Panera Bread, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, and Olive Garden. Each brand is taking a different approach to cut through the noise and reconnect with consumers — whether through nostalgia, value messaging, product innovation, or experiential activations. The duo analyzes what's working, what's not, and which campaigns have the best chance of actually driving traffic and sales in an environment where consumers are increasingly selective about where they spend their dining dollars.They close out with a Quick Fire round covering the latest industry headlines — including Texas Roadhouse's delivery test, Papa Murphy's closure of 50 stores, and Chipotle's first location in Mexico — before turning things over to senior food and beverage editor Bret Thorn, who interviews Shake Shack's senior director of culinary innovation, Nick Wuest.For more on these stories:Taylor Farms lettuce supplied to Taco Bell linked to cyclosporia outbreakAnother big Hardee's franchisee declares bankruptcyPanera's Unlimited Sip Club will no longer be unlimited

A TikTok review of a $38 Armenian basturma brisket sandwich has exploded into one of the biggest food controversies Los Angeles has seen all year. This week, Luca is joined by Taqueando producer Robert Haleblian, who's been following Glendale favorite Yerord Mas since its pop-up days, to unpack how one viral video ignited a debate about restaurant pricing, tradition, influencer culture, and why some cuisines are still expected to stay cheap. If you've seen the Richie Gaines, Yerord Mas, or Los Angeles Times discourse online, this is the conversation behind the headlines.Then it's time for Chef's Kiss / Big Miss with MY WIFE as the crew weighs in on Diarrhea Lettuce Summer, the rise of luxury all-you-can-eat buffets, Chipotle opening in Mexico, The Tasting Kitchen's return to Venice, and whether food media needs more people who've actually worked in restaurants.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (7.15) Eric Deutsch of SmartFocus.ai joins Timmy to break down the latest on daylight saving time — he ran an AI-powered focus group on the measure Congress is considering to potentially get rid of it altogether. You’ve probably seen the wild viral video of the bearded grandpa in Yellowstone who lured a bison away from his grandson and got thrown eight feet in the air — 65-year-old Carl McDaniel is now sharing details after breaking his femur in four places. Savannah Guthrie had quite the year: Throat surgery, her mom Nancy was kidnapped (and we still don’t know the full story), and fun fact — she met her first husband at the Michael Jackson trial! Chipotle is boldly opening its first location in Mexico (in Monterrey), even though Taco Bell and Domino’s both famously failed and pulled out of the country. Monterrey might not be the usual Cabo or Puerto Vallarta tourist spot, but it’s worth a look. There’s a new blood test that can predict your likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s, and over 11,000 Californians must retake their DMV driving tests due to a major glitch.

Chipotle COO Jason Kidd visits a dozen stores a week and ends each day with 90-minute team dinners, a strategy that helped the chain promote 23,000 workers last year, including every one of its new regional vice presidents.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including McDonald's and Burger King's new chicken tests, Wonder's potential IPO, and the proliferation of tiered value menus. They kick things off with product news from two of the biggest players in quick service: McDonald's and Burger King are both exploring new premium chicken products, with Burger King offering two new chicken sandwich LTOs and McDonald's testing hand-breaded chicken tenders and wings. Sam and Alicia explore what's driving this renewed focus on elevated chicken offerings, how these products fit into each brand's broader menu strategy, and whether premium items can coexist with the value-focused messaging that's dominating the industry right now. They then shift to the explosion of tiered value menus across the restaurant landscape, from brands like Wendy's, Taco Bell, and McDonald's. A Technomic representative believes the marketplace has become too oversaturated, making it harder for brands to break through the noise with a value message. Sam and Alicia discuss whether these promotions are actually driving incremental traffic or simply cannibalizing sales from existing customers, and what this means for brand differentiation in an increasingly crowded field. Next up, they dig into Kura Sushi's recent earnings report, which revealed negative traffic and sales trends. The conveyor belt sushi chain cited rising gas prices and tariff-related pressures as key factors impacting consumer behavior and operational costs. Sam and Alicia unpack how macroeconomic forces are creating challenges for restaurants like Kura — but also discuss the silver lining that Kura can look to as it grows across the country. Then they talk about Wonder, the multi-brand delivery concept backed by Marc Lore that is reportedly considering an IPO. Sam and Alicia discuss what makes Wonder's business model unique, whether the public markets are ready for another restaurant IPO after Jersey Mike's recent filing, and what this could signal about investor appetite for innovative restaurant concepts. They wrap up with a Quick Fire round covering the latest industry buzz and headlines you need to know, including Taco Bell's increased use of drive-thru AI, Chipotle's investment in six companies via its Cultivate Next fund, and the lack of women being hired for executive roles. Finally, we share an interview between managing editor Leigh Anne Zinsmeister and The Granola Bar cofounders Julie Mountain and Dana Noorily, recorded in person at the National Restaurant Association Show.

Ken and Anthony bring in producer John to recap the Guardians avoiding a sweep behind Gavin Williams' strong start and a power surge, previewing the tough upcoming Marlins series as a real test before the break. They then dig into the Bryce Harper controversy, where a personalized FanDuel cameo video surfaced in a lawsuit from a bettor who wagered 18.5 million dollars and lost 1.5 million, prompting the hosts to joke about recording a similar cameo for Brendan Sorsby. The conversation drifts into gambling more broadly, with John admitting he once bet on a Notre Dame game while driving to call a different game, drawing comparisons to the San Antonio broadcaster who lost his job over a gambling scandal. The segment closes with the hosts ribbing John about eating Chipotle while driving before teasing more Jared Verse trade talk coming up.

McDonald's new prototype is see-through. Velvet Taco is the latest chain to jump into value. And Chipotle is making its appearance in another video game, less than a month after its first.

Anika teamed up with Benjamin Behrooz to decode why massive exposure so often fails to drive revenue. The conversation revealed a counterintuitive truth: the problem isn't content creation—it's integration. Benjamin's 17-year perspective on branding and his experience scaling Branding Los Angeles across five states offered practical pushback against the persistent "AI will replace everything" narrative, alongside a sharp look at where AI actually creates value.In This EpisodeThe origin story of Branding Los Angeles: from a 400 sq ft apartment to a national powerhouseScaling velocity: expanding from California to Texas, New York, Hawaii, and Florida with intentional footprint strategyThe staffing challenge: why grading your team A+, A, B, C determines whether you scale or collapseWhy 75% of potential clients get turned down—and why that's the competitive advantageThe integrated approach: how branding, PR, SEO, and storytelling work together (not in silos)Market psychology and decision timelines: understanding when your customer is actually ready to buyWhy human-written content still outperforms AI-generated content in Google's eyesBuilding authority through PR and media mentions, not just organic reachTimestamps00:00 Introduction: Standing out in a saturated market00:59 The 400 sq ft beginning: how showing up changes everything06:23 The integrated branding and market strategy approach09:02 Understanding market psychology and customer decision timelines10:12 Where conversations are actually happening: Reddit, Facebook groups, and beyond18:41 The AI content truth: Google is separating human-written from machine-written31:18 PR is more important than SEO (the hook)34:00 Staffing as the #1 scaling bottleneck: the A+/A/B/C grading system36:45 Selective client intake: saying no to 75% of opportunities44:30 Blue collar workers as the future champions of the economy48:57 The personal motto that drives everythingKey Insights & TakeawaysInsight 1: Visibility Without Revenue Is a Strategy Failure, Not a Content FailureFortune 500 companies frequently have massive social followings and brand awareness. Yet their phones aren't ringing. The problem isn't more content—it's integrating branding, PR, SEO, and storytelling into a cohesive system. Generic approaches die. Strategic integration wins. Insight 2: Human-Written Content Still Outperforms AI Content in SearchGoogle is actively separating human-written from machine-written content. Websites with 200 pages of AI-generated content rank, then instantly vanish. The companies winning in 2026 kept their content writers and use AI checkers to verify authenticity. Insight 3: Your Customers Aren't Where You Think They AreThe conversations your customers are having—the questions at 2 AM, the pain points they're sharing—aren't on your LinkedIn. They're on Reddit, in Facebook groups, where real people congregate. Win by showing up where the conversation already exists. Insight 4: Staffing Quality Determines Scale or CollapseGrade your team A+, A, B, C. C's go. B's get trained. A's get pushed to A+. One question: "If this position was open, would you rehire this person?" If no, you're already failing. Quality beats speed every time.Insight 5: Saying No to 75% of Business Is the Competitive AdvantageBenjamin turns down three out of every four potential clients. Not because he can't do the work—because he knows which clients will succeed. Sustainable growth comes from working with clients you can actually scale, not chasing every opportunity. Insight 6: PR Builds Authority That AI Can't FakeWhen a trusted third party validates who you are, that signal is worth more than a thousand blog posts. AI uses 15-20 platforms to cross-reference claims. If you're mentioned by credible sources, you win the trust game. Insight 7: Blue Collar Work Is the Future Safe HavenWhile corporate roles face disruption and downsizing, skilled trades are in desperate demand. Companies are cutting office staff by 40% while desperately hiring tradespeople. Positioning yourself in skilled trades offers more security than most white-collar paths.

We kick things off with The Spleen at war with robot delivery drones after Spencer got revenge on Chipotle's automated phone system in the most creative way possible. Zoom's aggressively updated facial tracking software keeps mistaking a Jigglypuff plushie for Spencer's face, then we debate the finer points of anti-drone technology including tandem puppets and dazzle camouflage. From there we drift into a full breakdown of the Ice Cube War of the Worlds movie that came out in 2025 after apparently sitting on a shelf for five years, and we cover all the reasons aliens who travel across the galaxy specifically to eat data make absolutely no scientific sense. Kevin licks a battery for content, immediately regrets it, then accidentally covers his hands and keyboard in blue dye. The Mountain Dew Dunkin' donuts get reviewed (a slightly sad lemon loaf), alongside a Canada Dry strawberry ginger ale that smells better than it tastes. We also get serious for a bit: The election was probably rigged (twice, different people each time), Gaza and voter apathy are actually connected, and the blood is on all our hands whether you voted or not. Then we pivot to the 35th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog, why the original ugly movie design was an inexcusable disaster, and a spirited debate about base-12 mathematics sparked by a listener manifesto. If you're searching for: weird snack reviews, political rants, AI drone paranoia, Sonic anniversary, election conspiracy theories, base-12 math, or just two guys completely failing to run a competent video call... this is That Happens.

What do delivering blood in Rwanda and your Chipotle order have in common?Zipline - the largest automated delivery system on Earth! And they do it with drones, not trucks!You may or may not have heard of this company… but with a $7 Billion valuation, you will soon! I had the honor of interviewing founder/CEO Keller Rinaudo Cliffton on The Business of Joy show!Here are some of my favorite parts:1. From a walk-in refrigerator to a $7 Billion Valuation: Six bucks an hour. A heavy down jacket in 120-degree Phoenix heat. That's where Keller learned more than he did in four years of high school.2. Rwanda's blood network to your Chipotle burrito: Same technology. Same objective. "A teleportation service that delivers what you need, when you need it."3. The curiosity factor:Curiosity is innate… “the challenge is how do you not stamp it out?”

This one's for the business owner with 40 unposted videos in their camera roll and the person who keeps starting their nutrition over "on Monday." In this episode we dive into:Why "I'm bad at content" is almost never true — and what's actually going on insteadThe reframe that turns confidence from a prerequisite into a byproductHow intentional repetition (not one viral hit) is what actually moves a productA messy-action FYX tip to get you back on the horse this weekThe Camera Roll GraveyardYou set a Friday content day, grab the coffee, do the hair — then summer plans throw a wrench in it and you talk yourself out of postingYou re-record the same 15 seconds, watch it back, and suddenly hate your eyebrows, your voice, the lightingYou run the script through ChatGPT and get a robotic version of yourself that lands even worseThe video disappears into the graveyard with 40 others that were "good enough" to film but never saw daylightConfidence Is Built in the RepsThat whole scenario isn't a "bad at content" problem — it's a confidence problem, and confidence is just reps you haven't collected yetNobody learned to ride a bike the second the training wheels came off, and not even Babe Ruth hit every pitch — the skill lives in the at-batsAt the driving range, Krysta misses 25 of 50 balls — and chooses to root to the 25 she crushed and how good they feltThe coffee-shop latte lesson: one post won't sell it, but seven days of different angles on the same launch will — and teaches you what your audience actually wantsRoot to the Feeling, Stack the EvidenceConfidence comes from evidence, and you don't find it sitting still — you create it by putting yourself out thereKrysta's MyFitnessPal reps mean she now logs in seconds what used to take 3x as long — same muscle, more at-batsThe first-set negotiation: do one set of everything, and by set two your mood has already shifted — same as how you feel after you finally hit postThis week, don't rebuild the whole routine — track just Monday, plan around a trackable Chipotle if you need to, and take the messy actionThis conversation reminds us there's no such thing as confidence without evidence — it doesn't magically arrive, you build it one rep at a time. Whether you're the founder whose best video is rotting in the camera roll or the person restarting their macros every Monday, this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting to feel ready and start collecting proof. Babe Ruth missed plenty. Your at-bats are the strategy.Made a video that took everything you had to post?

We kick things off with Sir Spleenington, the distinguished British predecessor to Spencer's lovably grating alter ego "The Spleen", hiding from Flock cameras and ankle monitors while Spencer attempts to explain that this podcast is technically an American reboot of a British podcast. Kevin actually laughs audibly, which may be a first in recorded history. From there, we cover the very real and very poisonous warehouse fire burning in Boyle Heights, LA, where Spencer went out handing N95 masks to street vendors who promptly did not put them on. We also get into the World Cup bringing tourists to America who are discovering chips and salsa, bottomless refills, and tailgating for the first time, leading to what is probably an AI-generated viral tweet about a Japanese man being spiritually defeated by a basket of tortilla chips at a Mexican restaurant. Then things get truly personal. Spencer recounts a weekend of cascading indignities: a terrible fake-Caesar wrap from Doghaus, a multi-hour Chipotle customer service odyssey involving AI phone bots, a rude supervisor, a robot that hung up on him, and a very long drive to find no crispy chicken. A Magic: The Gathering card he wanted wasn't even in the deck it was supposed to be in. He survived all of this, and his emotional recovery time is getting shorter, which we declare as growth. We close out with Spencer pitching a structured belief system built around summoning a personal "familiar", essentially harnessing the placebo effect and humanity's religious tendencies into something useful and non-cult-shaped. Kevin says he'd join immediately. Spencer considers writing a self-help book. The Spleen is somewhere hiding from cameras. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The city of New York is still riding the Knicks high with some incredible parade content from the now infamous twerker (@sophpassalaqua, @tmz). The Europeans are still taking over the USA and bringing us lots of great moments: from the Norwegians rowing chant on the NYC subway (@lilssob/) to the Scots in Miami (@fraserglen796). And let's not forget Norwegian player Erling Haaland's Birkin collection (@jack.savoie). Dena's FYP takes a hard right into Jojo Siwa territory with content from her “cruise” (@benoftheweek) and of course there's always time for Tyra Banks content - this time it's her book (@lordes3rdalbum) and defunct theme park (question mark?) (@holdensmith962). And based on the “What's your coffee order?” trend, Dena will be drinking pure sugar (@mrs.sarahann). Ashley is getting some intense workout content about a Corepower diehard (@rellimrolyat) and more Love Island from one of her favorite creators, @themarcosgonzalez. A creator spotlight is shone on @jacobjeffries who has been creating some incredibly catchy tunes (“wooly mammoth and a mastodon!”). And a Chipotle corn salsa hack in the food section is going to be a definite YES for Ashley but not Dena (@makeupmaddie). Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week on Undressed with Pol' and Patrik, we're taking you inside the world of hip-hop royalty with the incredibly talented Chey Smith, daughter of legendary Wu-Tang Clan icon Method Man. What starts as a hilarious conversation about luxury cars, scratched rims, BMWs, and growing up surrounded by one of music's most iconic families quickly turns into one of our most heartfelt episodes yet. Chey shares what life was really like growing up with Method Man as a father, revealing that despite his superstar status, he was always present for school pickups, family dinners, Halloween parades, bowling nights, and movie outings. We celebrate Wu-Tang Clan's upcoming Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction while laughing about whether we'll be sneaking into the Grammy Museum celebration. We discover Chey is much more than "Method Man's daughter." She surprises us with stories about working at Wendy's and Chipotle, earning minimum wage despite coming from rap royalty, graduating with a psychology degree, wanting to become an orthodontist, teaching elementary school, acting, rapping, and building her own career from the ground up. She even treats us to an exclusive freestyle rap featuring Pol', Patrik and SnowWhite90210 that has us laughing from beginning to end. The laughs continue as we dive into dating disasters, luxury hotels, Birkin bags, tattoos with hidden meanings, her beloved dogs Nugget and Bosco, and why pineapples mean friendship... unless they're upside down in Palm Beach! Along the way we swap stories about our own 23-year love story and why knowing someone's hotel matters more than their pickup line. Then everything changes. Pol' performs one of his most emotional Armenian Coffee Readings yet. Immediately spotting a mysterious letter "H," the reading uncovers painful chapters Chey had buried deep inside herself. As the symbols unfold, we discuss toxic relationships, losing your identity while trying to save someone else, learning to stop living in another person's shadow, and finally reclaiming your own purpose. The reading becomes even more emotional when Pol' reveals that someone is constantly praying for her—a revelation that instantly brings thoughts of her incredible mother and leaves all of us fighting back tears. Chey bravely opens up about a past relationship that changed the course of her life, fractured friendships and family dynamics, and forced her to rebuild herself from the inside out. Together, we explore what it means to release people who no longer serve your purpose, embrace your own gifts, and stop being afraid of being truly seen. We wrap up celebrating Chey's exciting future, including her upcoming album, new music, acting career, Season 2 of Red Hook, and her determination to step fully into her womanhood, her artistry, and her own spotlight. This episode is packed with celebrity stories, hilarious moments, heartfelt honesty, powerful life lessons, and one unforgettable coffee reading that reminds us all that sometimes healing begins the moment we finally choose ourselves.

Most digital transformation stories begin with customer-facing technology. Chipotle’s began by redesigning operations. In this episode of Technovation, Peter High speaks with Curt Garner, President, Chief Strategy & Technology Officer at Chipotle Mexican Grill. Curt shares how Chipotle evolved from accepting fax orders in 2015 to operating a $5 billion digital commerce engine today. He explains why solving operational challenges before customer adoption proved critical to scaling digital growth and how cloud architecture, dedicated digital kitchens, rewards, personalization, and AI-enabled supply chain capabilities continue to drive innovation across the business. Key topics discussed include: Building a digital commerce platform capable of operating at web scale Scaling from 20% to 85% digital ordering during COVID Designing dedicated digital kitchens to eliminate fulfillment friction Using rewards and personalization to deepen customer engagement Applying AI to forecasting, inventory management, and supply chain operations Balancing technology innovation with human hospitality This episode is presented by Celonis — Give AI the context it needs.

Josh Swihart is the founder of ZODL: the Zcash Open Development Lab. Basically a for profit reincarnation of the old Electric Coin Company, which inherited the dev teams and projects. During his previous Bitcoin Takeover podcast appearance in November 2024 (S15 E62), Zcash was a struggling privacy project with very little support and a rather disappointing price action. In June 2026, Zcash is the rising star of the cryptocurrency market, with plans to scale to billions of users and ever-improving shielding technology. In this episode, we talk about the good, the bad, and the controversial moments in the recent history of Zcash... and why Bitcoin didn't activate Zerocash yet.

Road trips and good nutrition do not have to be mutually exclusive. But they do require a little more thought than just hoping there is a Chipotle at the halfway point. Ryann, Kelsey, and Nic get into the real barriers that make eating well on the road so hard: the f*ck-it mentality when your kitchen is not with you, the boredom snacking through Kansas, the moment your cooler runs out and you are staring down a gas station. They share what they actually pack, how to navigate fast food stops without blowing the whole trip, how to find decent options at a gas station when you are out of options, and which chains are actually worth stopping at. This one is practical, specific, and includes a very enthusiastic endorsement of Buc-ee's. Black Iron Nutrition Book a Free Discovery Call Free Macro Calculator Free Downloads Black Iron Blog
