Brian Rudolph started making chickpea pasta in his Detroit apartment because wheat made him feel sick. A decade later, Banza was in more than 25,000 stores, and today, it's one of the most popular pasta brands in the country. Success was not automatic: The business barely got off the ground because the cooked pasta was turning to mush—and as Banza became known for its health benefits, a food-safety scare sent sales plunging by 30%.In this episode, Brian explains why he was inspired to create a whole new category, how he turned chickpea skeptics into fans, and how the company rebuilt trust after a public relations disaster. What you'll learn How Brian and his brother Scott launched Banza with only $100,000.How they learned to stop chasing perfection and to ship something that was “good enough.” How crowdfunding and reality TV helped Banza land its first retail accounts. How packaging can become an important growth engine for a new brand. How transparency can rebuild trust after a PR debacle–but can't restore it overnight.

This week Chris sits down with Adam Blake, Co-founder and CEO of Mavria. Adam spent a little more than a year leading the DOGE team inside the Department of Energy. He has been a private person for 15 years, and last week he broke his silence with a tweet that got over 2 million views. Chris has known Adam since 2004. They met shortly after Chris arrived at TCU, and the school paper named Adam Entrepreneur of the Year for the real estate he was buying around campus. One lunch with him at a Chipotle changed the trajectory of Chris' life. Adam went on to build a commercial solar company that did around 2,000 projects across 17 states, then sold a software company to Vista Equity Partners. In early 2025 a friend called about DOGE. Within about a week he was on a plane to DC, and two weeks after that he was sitting in the West Wing with Elon Musk and the Secretary of Energy. The executive order that set a goal of three new nuclear reactors going critical by July 4th, 2026 put his team in charge of making it happen. Everyone thought it was impossible. It got done. Along the way he got death threats over an anonymous quote that the chairman of the NRC later denied under oath. Now he is building Mavria with two of the people who were in those rooms with him, backed by a $30M pre-seed from a single investor. His view is simple. AI is power, and America has to build a lot more of it.

Yusha spent time at Chipotle and Sweetgreen before launching Sightline OS for AI-powered supply chain management. In this episode we discuss AI, food safety, and what happens when the stack of cups runs out.

"The White House is not going to fix your house." The Treasury Secretary just declared that the economy has shifted from a "K-shaped" recovery, where the rich keep getting richer, to a "C-shaped" recovery, where lower income earners are catching up. Jaspreet Singh breaks down the data behind that claim and shows why the Federal Reserve and Bank of America are reporting very different numbers than the White House. He then explains why the debate over which shape the economy takes misses the bigger point: the system is built to reward investors over workers, and understanding that distinction, not government data, is what actually determines whether inflation and spending make you richer or poorer. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the Treasury Secretary claims the economy shifted from "K-shaped" to "C-shaped," with bottom earners' incomes reportedly rising 5.5% against just 1.8% for top earners How Federal Reserve and Bank of America income data conflicts with the White House's numbers, showing top and bottom earners rising at nearly the same rate Why CEOs disagree on which economy we're in: Hilton says incomes are converging while Marriott and McDonald's say lower income consumers are cutting back on basics like breakfast Why spending and inflation both make investors richer rather than workers, using the example of who profits when a Chipotle order gets more expensive How the $40 trillion national debt and Federal Reserve money printing connect directly to inflation and who benefits from it Why the Federal Reserve targets 2% inflation instead of 0%, and how that target favors investors over everyday workers Why market crashes and recessions are guaranteed to keep happening, and how investors have historically built wealth buying through them, from 2008 to 2020 to 2022 Why becoming an investor, not waiting on government policy, is what actually determines financial outcomes Keywords: K-shaped economy, C-shaped recovery, income inequality, inflation, national debt, Federal Reserve, market crash investing, stock market, investing vs saving, wealth building ✅ Register for my investing Workshop & get Market Briefs as a bonus: Below are my recommended tools!

It's Labor Day week and we are rewinding it back to our second listener stories episode: EP 159: Now That's What I Call Listener Stories Vol. 2 Ring the bell and tell your friends. We've got another ALL-LISTENER-STORIES episode! And since we're taking a trip back through the Live, Laugh, Larceny archives, we're bringing back one of our favorite collections of bizarre true crime stories, petty crimes, ridiculous criminals, and listener-submitted crimes. But before we hear from our awesome listeners, we gotta do the show stuff. This week, Trevin encounters a cursed Chipotle salad that he leaves sitting on his desk for an entire weekend, while Amanda discovers that bringing Jell-O to a kid's birthday party does NOT mean people are getting Jell-O shots. Top 5 takes a closer look at the polygraph and lie detector test, including its bizarre history and some of the earliest attempts at figuring out whether someone was lying. Then Trevin counts down five of the most common—and most ridiculous—causes of selfie-related deaths, from guns and electrocution to driving, drowning, and falling. Then, we get to the main event: three petty, bizarre, and completely listener-submitted stories. Amanda tells the story of a disgruntled bakery employee who destroys cakes before quitting, including one cake that just happens to have been ordered by one of our own listeners. Trevin investigates the mystery of a person who wiped their butt on a towel at a party, giving one listener the chance to play detective and figure out who committed the truly shitty crime. And, of course, we've got another round of funny true crime, petty criminals, strange crimes, and the weirdest stories our listeners could dig up.

This is a new series called "THE UNIGNORABLES" where Abu will be covering moves, moments, or people that are shifting business and culture. This week, Abu dives deep into the leadership journey of Brian Niccol, the newly appointed CEO of Starbucks with a staggering $96 million offer. Why did Starbucks pay that much? What makes a leader worth that kind of compensation? And most importantly—what can you, as a business owner or entrepreneur, learn from his playbook? Abu breaks down: The early career moves that shaped Brian's strategic mind. The transformation of Taco Bell into a lifestyle brand. The resurrection of Chipotle post-crisis through digital innovation and operational excellence. How Brian consistently drives billions in revenue—and why that justifies the $96M. What Starbucks is struggling with today, and why Brian is the right person to fix it.

On this episode of The New Yorkers Podcast, Kelly Kopp sits down with Dan from All Day NYC for a funny, nostalgic, and very New York conversation about growing up in Bensonhurst and Gravesend, Coney Island summers, Canal Street, pizza, bagels, the subway, viral NYC moments, the Knicks championship parade, and what it really means to be a New Yorker.

Christian Nuñez, owner of Buena Vista Restaurant & Barin New York City, was raised in a restaurant family, but he swore he wouldnever get into the business himself. All that changed when he was recruited ata Penn State college career fair by Chipotle Mexican Grill to become a managerin training.He took his Chipotle experience home to his father'srestaurant, helping to turn it around into a profitable enterprise. He changedthe name, introduced a Latino happy hour, and upgraded the venue. But in 2018, Nuñez wanted a place of his own with a moreupscale Euro-Latin menu and sophisticated cocktails. That was the debut of thefirst Buena Vista Restaurant & Bar in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood ofManhattan. This year, he opened two more locations within a few months of eachother — one in the East Village and the other in Murray Hill. A gutsy move tobe sure, but Nuñez has the ambition to grow Buena Vista into a larger restaurantbrand. Each location shares his vision but is slightly different, geared to itsparticular neighborhood through its design, ambiance, and menu mix.Listen as Nuñez shares how he differentiates the menu withinnovative takes on Spanish and Latin cuisine, how he elevates his restaurantswith artistic touches, and hints at his future plans for Buena Vista.Subscribe on Apple Podcasts.Subscribe on Spotify.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Wendy's ongoing executive turnover, Taco Bell's celebrity partnership, and sales data that's good news for independent restaurants. First up is Wendy's, which announced that Tariq Hassan — formerly chief marketing and customer experience officer at McDonald's — would be joining the company as chief marketing and customer growth officer. It continues the shakeup at Wendy's under new CEO Bob Wright, who told the Wall Street Journal this week that previous leadership had been more committed to cost cutting than quality. Sam and Alicia discuss Hassan's hire and other changes that could be putting Wendy's on the right track. Next they look at Wendy's competitors McDonald's and Burger King, and particularly how they're doubling down on their chicken nuggets. McDonald's brought back its Spicy Chicken McNuggets for the first time in six years — and perhaps it's not a coincidence that it's at the same time that Burger King announced it had upgraded its own chicken nuggets so that they include 100% white meat chicken and a crispier breading. Why the sudden attention on chicken nuggets? Sam and Alicia break it down. They then shift their attention to Taco Bell, which introduced a new Baja Blast in partnership with pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo. The You Seem Pretty Pink for a Baja Blast will initially be available at Taco Bell's Live Mas Cafe locations before rolling out nationwide. Sam and Alicia discuss why this partnership is different than other celebrity collaborations, and why authenticity is so important for brands looking to leverage partnerships for their marketing. New sales data shows that independent restaurants may be faring better than chains with consumers' recent foodservice spend, and Sam and Alicia break that down next. Data from Bank of America shows that consumer spending on restaurants is up, but while fast-food, fast-casual, and casual chains are only experiencing increases of less than a percentage point, indies and regional concepts are enjoying gains around 4%. Why is that? They look into the data and what historical clues can tell us.They close things out with a Quick Fire round of headlines, including Chipotle's popular BOGOs, Pizza Hut's NFL campaign, Papa Johns' PopUp Bagels partnership, and Chick-fil-A's closure of its Little Blue Menu concept.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Taco Bell's nostalgic menu, Jack in the Box's CEO-in-waiting, and Chipotle's Gen Alpha influencer partnership. First up is Taco Bell, which never lacks for menu news. The brand introduced three new energy drinks — the Pineapple Citrus Energy Refresher, Strawberry Tropics Energy Refresher, and the Pineapple Citrus Energy Freeze — as well as the Chicken Enchilada Nacho Fries LTO. But it also reintroduced its Decades menu, honoring the nostalgia of 2016 with an LTO menu that features the Naked Chicken Chalupa, Meximelt, Beefy Crunch Burrito, and Caramel Apple Empanada. Sam and Alicia unpack the menu additions and especially dig into the idea of nostalgia, noting how Taco Bell and other brands are leveraging it to attract young customers in particular.Next they discuss Jack in the Box, which hired Taco Bell's chief brand officer Taylor Montgomery as president. The company announced that Montgomery would be promoted to CEO within the next 12 months, and Sam and Alicia discuss that strategy and how it might incentivize Montgomery to score some quick for a brand that sorely needs them.They tackle McDonald's next, and specifically how the Golden Arches has been losing lower-income consumers for the past seven years. Recent data from Numerator shows that the share of McDonald's guests who make less than $50,000 has been shrinking since 2019, with the firm estimating that it has cost the company $310 million in sales. Sam and Alicia talk about why that's a problem for McDonald's, but also about why there are other economic warning signs suggesting that lower income consumers are pulling back on their discretionary spend broadly — and how it could negatively impact restaurants. They shift their attention next to Chipotle, which partnered with Gen Alpha influencer Salish Matter on the Salish Matter Meal — a Kid's Cheese Quesadilla with white rice, black beans, guacamole, kid's chips, and chocolate milk. Aside from making Sam and Alicia — both parents of Gen Alpha kids — feel old, it also gives them a chance to talk about the spending power of kids today and how their opinions are increasingly shaping where their parents dine out. They close things out with Quick Fire round of headlines, including Panera's new tiered loyalty program, Starbucks' latest round of layoffs, and California Pizza Kitchen's new vending machines.

Etsy - Layoffs With Better Numbers - Etsy is cutting about 220 jobs, or 12% of its workforce. - Management said the cuts were not primarily about cost savings or AI. ----- CEO Kruti Patel Goyal stated the restructuring aims to simplify the organization, remove management layers, and speed up decision-making to better compete against massive rivals like Amazon, Temu, and TikTok Shop - Q2 revenue was about $668 million and core marketplace sales improved. - Etsy also authorized another $2 billion share buyback. - Comes after selling Depop to eBay for about $1.4 billion. Polysilicon - Tariffs Plus Price Floors - U.S. policy adds a 15% tariff and minimum import prices on polysilicon and solar products. - Goal is to protect domestic production from low-cost foreign competition. - U.S. share of global polysilicon capacity fell from about 50% in 2005 to under 2% in 2024. - First Solar and T1 Energy jumped on the announcement. ---- The same playbook - rinse and repeat Chipotle - Salmonella Returns - Minnesota officials linked a salmonella outbreak to jalapenos served at Chipotle. - Chipotle removed the affected pepper supply and switched growers. - Shares fell roughly 8%-10% as investors remembered the company's earlier food-safety problems. - This is on top of the lettuce situation with Sweetgreen- look at  STOCK CHART FOR SG Michael Burry - Calling a Major Top - Michael Burry says the market may be near a "major top." - Warned of the possibility of a 1987-style market drop. - He is short names including Nvidia, Palantir, Tesla and semiconductor stocks. - Main concern is stretched valuations and crowded trades unwinding quickly. - This may be the 100th top he has called since the GFC ---- NVIDIA TURNS GPUs INTO AN ASSET CLASS - Nvidia signed preliminary agreements with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs and KKR to mobilize more than $500 billion for AI infrastructure. - The Wall Street firms would create dedicated pools of capital to finance Nvidia-based data centers and compute infrastructure at what Nvidia calls attractive rates for customers. - Jensen Huang: “This is really the first time that technology chips have become an investable asset class.” Nvidia says the compute assets now generate revenue and can increasingly be financed like infrastructure. - Nvidia could backstop as much as 25% of individual investments on a case-by-case basis - potentially up to about $125 billion if applied across the full program. STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE BREAKS 300 MILLION - The Strategic Petroleum Reserve fell by 6.1 million barrels to 298.7 million barrels for the week ended Aug. 7 - below 300 million for the first time since January 1983. - The SPR started 2026 around 415 million barrels, meaning more than 100 million barrels have already come out this year as releases were used to offset disruptions from the Iran conflict. - The reserve's authorized storage capacity is roughly 714 million barrels, leaving current inventories at about 42% of capacity. - Oil on the rise last week Earnings and such Toyota - Big Buyback, Better Outlook - Toyota raised its annual operating-profit forecast 13%, helped by the weaker yen. - Announced a share buyback worth up to $6.3 billion. - Quarterly operating profit still fell 9%, hurt by China weakness and higher Middle East-related costs. McDonald's - Value Problem - U.S. same-store sales rose just 0.8%, below expectations and well below last year's 2.5% growth. - Management blamed weak execution of value promotions and fewer digital deals. (and probably because everyone is taking weight loss drugs - see above) - Lower-income customer traffic remains a major pressure point. - McDonald's is bringing back more digital offers and loyalty promotions to drive traffic. Eli Lilly - Weight-Loss Machine - Lilly crushed Q2 expectations as Mounjaro and Zepbound drove most of the growth. - Mounjaro sales hit $9.94 billion; Zepbound brought in $4.93 billion. - Raised 2026 revenue guidance to $85-$87 billion. - Verzenio, its major breast-cancer drug, remains one of Lilly's biggest non-obesity products. - Lilly continues widening its lead over Novo Nordisk in the obesity-drug market. Disney - Parks Keep Printing Money - Quarterly adjusted EPS rose 28% to $2.06, beating the $1.86 estimate. - Parks and experiences revenue increased 10% to nearly $10 billion. - Global park attendance grew 4%. - Disney is selling its 50% stake in A+E Networks to Hearst for an estimated $1.2 billion. Oil - OPEC Adds Barrels, Maybe - OPEC+ agreed to raise September production targets by another 188,000 barrels per day. - The increase completes the rollback of a 1.65 million-barrel-per-day supply cut dating back to 2023. (In other words - planned so not a surprise) - Actual supply remains constrained because several producers are already pumping below quota. - Any normalization around the Strait of Hormuz could suddenly make OPEC+'s additional barrels much more important. Berkshire Hathaway - Greg Abel Starts Spending - Q2 operating earnings rose 16% to about $13 billion. - Berkshire bought $23.5 billion of stocks and sold just $3.7 billion - its first quarter as a net stock buyer in 14 quarters. - Bought back $4.5 billion of Berkshire shares, versus only $235 million in Q1. - Cash dropped from roughly $380 billion to $365 billion as Abel starts putting the massive cash pile to work. - Important shift: Buffett is still chairman, but this is one of the clearest signs yet of how Greg Abel may allocate capital differently as CEO. Situational Awareness - Nearly Blows Up, Investors Want Back In - The fund lost 67% in July after leveraged AI bets collapsed and forced a major stock sale to Citadel. - Despite the blowup, Situational Awareness was still up about 80% for 2026 because of huge earlier gains. - Bloomberg says Silicon Valley investors are already asking to put more money into the fund. - Situational Awareness is currently telling prospective investors it is not accepting new capital. - The fund has also continued making large private investments even after the near-collapse. --- Most recent was a $400B ---- There is some talk that Citadel made out like a bandit on the rescue Mercedes AMG - The Car Literally Brands You - Two Mercedes AMG owners filed a class-action lawsuit claiming the metal AMG logo embedded in the seat becomes dangerously hot in the sun. - One driver says he suffered first- and second-degree burns, with a dermatologist describing the injury as "AMG inscribed." - The lawsuit wants Mercedes to cover damages and remove the metal logos from affected vehicles. - Hard to beat this one: pay AMG money and get the logo branded into your back. Europe's Drought - History Starts Popping Out - Extreme drought and low river levels are exposing things that have been underwater or hidden for decades or centuries. - In Serbia, sunken German World War II warships have reappeared in the Danube. - In Britain, dry ground revealed outlines of medieval buildings; mammoth remains and ancient structures have also surfaced elsewhere. - Serious drought story, but visually one of the strangest side effects of the summer. Golden Toilet - $6 Million Flush - The 18-carat gold toilet was ripped out of Blenheim Palace in a five-minute raid and has never been recovered - but there is a conviction. - Prosecutors used phone data, forensic evidence and planning activity to link the gang to the theft. - One defendant had cased the palace beforehand and photographed entry points; another man had already pleaded guilty and admitted helping move the stolen gold. - Prosecutors believe the 98-kilo toilet was quickly cut up or melted down and sold as gold. - So the conviction was based on evidence of the robbery and disposal - not on recovering the actual toilet. Final Follow Up SpaceX - Space Junk Smashes Into the Moon - A dead SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket stage crashed into the moon at about 5,400 mph after drifting through space since January 2025. - The roughly 4-ton, school-bus-size object kicked up a lunar dust plume that astronomers detected from Chile. - The impact was accidental - solar activity and gravity gradually pushed the abandoned rocket stage onto a collision course. - NASA and SpaceX are now discussing ways to prevent future lunar crashes as more hardware heads toward the moon. - NEED Space garbage Trucks - something we have discussed on show for years (see next) Space Garbage Trucks - This Is Becoming a Business - Astroscale is building spacecraft designed to inspect, capture and remove dead satellites and other orbital debris. - Its ADRAS-J mission demonstrated close approach and inspection of a large piece of existing space junk - a key step before actually grabbing and removing debris. - ClearSpace is developing similar debris-removal spacecraft, including missions designed to rendezvous with and capture abandoned rocket hardware. - The business model is basically orbital towing: governments and satellite operators pay to remove dangerous junk or service aging spacecraft. - With tens of thousands of tracked objects already in orbit, "space sanitation" could become a real infrastructure business.   Love the Show?

Every time you fill a vacancy, you have to make a choice: do you promote someone from within, who you may know quite well, or take a punt on someone you don't? Over my corporate career, I made both calls frequently. Sometimes, I got to pat myself on the back for how brilliant I was, but occasionally the resulting hire was so disastrous that I looked like a complete muppet in front of my team (and my boss)!Most leaders have no real way of determining who might be ready for promotion… it's all guesswork and gut feel. They rely on factors like a confident interview performance, a firm handshake, or a sharp dress sense… and then they're completely mystified when it doesn't work out. In this episode, I show you how to tell the difference between someone who's performing well now, and someone who's ready for more; and I give you a checklist to work out which leaders might be able to function at the next level up, and which leaders never will.

When Shea Jensen took over as President of Urban Outfitters North America in February 2024, the brand was posting double-digit comp declines. Eighteen months later, it's posting double-digit comp gains. "It's much more fun to go backwards in time when you're serving customers than forwards in time," Jensen tells Ken. "Nothing's better than going back to college." Jensen spent 35 years at Nordstrom, starting in a stock room at age 15, and is running one of retail's most-watched turnarounds by doing the unglamorous work: rebuilding BDG denim as a category authority, stretching Out from Under into lounge and athleisure, right-sizing the fleet, and meeting Gen Z where they actually live, on Reddit – on Pinterest, and now on DoorDash.In this episode of The Retail Pilot, Ken and co-host Melissa Gonzalez sit down with Shea Jensen, President of Urban Outfitters North America, to unpack the strategy behind the brand's comeback. They explore the customer-first product philosophy driving BDG denim and Out from Under, the four-tier store strategy, the fleet right-sizing that unlocked productivity, the digital channels that actually matter for Gen Z , the DoorDash partnership pulling last-minute shoppers, and the collabs with Chipotle and Dunkin' that turned into cultural moments.In this episode you'll learn:Why Urban Outfitters is going backwards in time to win with Gen Z and Gen AlphaThe BDG denim strategy: premium denim at a non-premium price, building fit franchises with staying powerHow Out from Under became a lounge and athleisure powerhouse without trying to compete with LululemonThe price elasticity playbook: covering opening, mid, and best price points to serve every customerUrban's four store types: high-profile, community, college, and core doorsThe fleet right-sizing story: going from oversized boxes to a 7,000–9,000 sq ft sweet spotWhy Reddit, Pinterest, connected TV, and TikTok are driving discovery, not Facebook or Instagram aloneThe DoorDash partnership pulling customers in on Thursday and Friday afternoonsThe Chipotle, Dunkin', and beverage collabs turning brand partnerships into cultural momentsThe one piece of career advice Shea would give her younger store manager selfThis episode is for you if: you're a retail operator running a turnaround, a merchant balancing private brands and national brands, a marketer trying to reach Gen Z where they actually are, a store designer rethinking format, or a brand leader curious how one of retail's most iconic names is rebuilding its cultural relevance.Don't forget to subscribe to The Retail Pilot podcast for more conversations with retail industry leaders and visionaries shaping the future of commerce.If you missed our last episode, where Neil Saunders, Managing Director and Retail Analyst at GlobalData, unpacks the biggest stories shaping retail in the back half of 2026, be sure to tune in.Connect with Ken:-Follow Ken Pilot Ventures on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube. Hosted on Ausha.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (8.10) The Powerball jackpot has climbed to $905 million after another weekend without a winner, and Timmy is already fantasizing about all the rich-jerk moves he’d make if he hit it — starting with loudly telling everyone how wealthy he is. Metrolink service between Laguna Niguel and Oceanside is temporarily suspended due to high-tide concerns. In Hollywood news, Jim Carrey is set to star in the live-action Jetsons movie. There’s been another shark encounter: a great white grabbed a lifeguard’s rescue buoy and dragged him under about five feet. Over the weekend, at least a dozen sharks were spotted off beaches in Maine. Breaking: A high-speed pursuit is underway in the Valley, with a suspected drunk driver hitting 100 mph on the 101 southbound toward the 405. Is he racing to Gelson’s or In-N-Out? Coming up Saturday, August 22, the 13 Souls Run in Simi Valley honors the 13 service members killed in the Afghanistan withdrawal bombing. It’s been 11 years since Silentó’s massive hit “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” — the rapper could have had a huge career but instead ended up convicted in the killing of his cousin. On a much brighter note, a Wendy’s worker used the company’s education benefits to go to community college, then transferred to Yale to study political science. Atta boy. Finally, there’s a widespread jalapeño recall tied to a salmonella outbreak that’s also hit Chipotle hard, and Timmy takes aim at stores using surveillance pricing. How dare they.

Celebrities lie all the time. But some take it to a whole other level. This week on The FratChat Podcast, we're counting down the BIGGEST Celebrity Lies ever told, from James Frey turning a few hours in jail into 87 days, to Milli Vanilli winning a Grammy for songs they didn't actually sing, to Lance Armstrong building an entire inspirational mythology around his doping. We get into lies so out there, they have to be heard to be believed. Plus, we get into the week's news, including a salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeños and Chipotle that gives Carlos and C-Mo' another reason to be suspicious of vegetables, food chain burritos, and apparently some of their favorite foods in general. We also talk about the bizarre and disturbing case of a former Republican politician facing a lengthy prison sentence after pleading guilty to horrific crimes. All this and MORE, this week on the FratChat Podcast. Got a question, comment or topic for us to cover? Let us know!

The Right is tearing itself apart over a $20 burrito, while regular Americans are still getting crushed by the cost of living. A college kid told Turning Point USA's Andrew Kolvet that a burrito shouldn't cost twenty bucks. That simple complaint set off a full-blown conservative civil war. Ben Shapiro said you're “doing life wrong” if you pay that much. Marc Thiessen told students to cry him a river. Then Vice President JD Vance jumped in with a fat joke about Thiessen never missing a burrito. Matt Walsh, Sean Davis, and half of conservative Twitter piled on. Meanwhile the actual prices of food, housing, and everything else never came back down after the Biden inflation spike. The rate slowed, but the high prices stuck. Voters handed Republicans the White House and Congress because they were sick of it. Now the same party is busy fighting a proxy war over Chipotle instead of delivering real relief. Tariffs, energy uncertainty, and endless internal drama aren't helping. The $20 burrito is just the symbol. The real problem is a party that won on affordability and is now distracted by the dumbest online food fight imaginable. Pat also covered: Day 55: Mitch McConnell is still missing after being released from rehab. $100 hot dogs are selling out in Miami … why? Trump signs new executive order cracking down on birth tourism. If El-Sayed is a uniter, why is he attacking second lady Usha Vance? Sharia law survivor speaks out against Islam — McKinney, Texas, ignores him. Does this burrito war make the GOP look completely out of touch with working families?

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (8.5) LAUSD kids head back to school next week on August 12, officially ending summer for a lot of families. Speaking of summer, public pools are still open, but how clean are they really? Chlorine is not Purell, so showering before you swim actually matters. Cryptosporidium can survive in pool water for up to 10 days, and cyclospora isn’t just hanging out on your shredded lettuce anymore. In Memphis, Fox 13 anchor Dominique Dillon (a mom of two) had a full “Sleeping Beauty” moment when she nodded off on live TV during the morning broadcast. Closer to home, we go live to a joint press conference with LA County Sheriff Robert Luna and San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus for updates on the Antelope Valley deputy shooting. The deputy, a man in his 30s, was hit just below the ribcage but is stable and expected to make a full recovery. On the fast-food front, Chipotle is dealing with a jalapeño recall that may be tied to a salmonella outbreak. And Timmy shares a classic airport emergency: he was so desperate at Burbank Airport that he accidentally charged straight into the women’s restroom.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 4 (8.5) Whenever President Trump lifts off in Marine One for Andrews Air Force Base, the skies around Ronald Reagan National Airport — just 3.5 miles away — are supposed to go completely quiet. No takeoffs, no landings. That rule was broken yesterday when a commercial jet blasted off while the president’s helicopter was still in the air, creating a serious near-miss that violated long-standing security protocol. The alleged Trump stalker arrested with a gun and bullets at Trump National Golf Club has an unusual first name — Jeanine — which immediately sent Timmy into Johnny Cash mode and “A Boy Named Sue.” That led to a classic Conway story: Back in his limo-driving days, Timmy once picked Cash up at LAX to drive him to a music festival in Antelope Valley where he was the main draw, spent three days chauffeuring him around greater LA, and watched the Man in Black insist on riding shotgun because he wasn’t that kind of celebrity. At the end of the gig, Cash handed him a golden ticket. Meanwhile, public pools are still open, but chlorine is not Purell. Cryptosporidium can live in the water for up to 10 days, and cyclospora isn’t just on your shredded lettuce anymore — so shower first and maybe keep your mouth closed. Chipotle is dealing with a jalapeño recall that may be tied to a salmonella outbreak, and Timmy admits he was so desperate at Burbank Airport that he accidentally charged into the women’s restroom. Nature did not care about the signs on the door. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
