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.

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.

Chipotle registered its strongest same-store sales growth since 2024. Taco Bell was the workhorse yet again for Yum Brands. And Jersey Mike's is off and running as a public company.

Today's podcast is titled “Brands in Crisis.” Recorded in 2025, Bruce Turkel, branding expert and author of All About Them, and Laura Culp, founder of Culp Branding, join host Vince Poscente to discuss how companies survive — or fail to survive — a brand crisis. Their conversation ranges from the fire extinguisher paradigm of crisis preparedness to what separates a genuine apology from a deflection, using Johnson & Johnson’s Tylenol response, Chipotle’s food-safety recovery, and Tesla’s ongoing brand-identity struggle as contrasting case studies.

Die Wall Street startet nach dem schwachen Vortag mit einer kräftigen Erholung, mit Rückenwind vor allem durch Microsoft. Der Softwarekonzern übertraf die Erwartungen bei Umsatz und Gewinn deutlich, Azure wuchs mit 43 Prozent stärker als erwartet und überschritt erstmals die Marke von 100 Milliarden US-Dollar Jahresumsatz. Zudem überraschte Microsoft mit einem robusten Ausblick und signalisierte trotz unverändert hoher Investitionen keine weitere Ausweitung der KI-Ausgaben. Genau das kommt an der Börse gut an, nachdem zuletzt die Sorge vor einer unkontrollierten Ausgabenflut im KI-Sektor zugenommen hatte. Meta zeigt dagegen die Kehrseite des KI-Booms. Zwar stieg der Umsatz um 28 Prozent, doch die Gewinne blieben wegen eines Anstiegs der Kosten um 55 Prozent hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Der freie Cashflow brach auf 784 Millionen US-Dollar ein, den niedrigsten Wert seit 2022. Wie dem auch sei, rechnete die Wall Street mit negativen Cashflow. Mark Zuckerberg bekräftigte die langfristige KI-Strategie, dämpfte aber Spekulationen über eine Vermietung überschüssiger Rechenkapazitäten. Insgesamt bleibt damit die zentrale Frage für die Wall Street bestehen: Wann beginnen sich die gewaltigen KI-Investitionen auszuzahlen? Bei weiteren Ergebnissen überzeugten Starbucks, Fortinet, Lam Research und Robinhood mit teils deutlich besseren Zahlen und angehobenen Ausblicken. Chipotle meldete ein solides Quartal und erhöhte die Prognose für das vergleichbare Umsatzwachstum, während Arm trotz guter Zahlen und eines ordentlichen Ausblicks unter hohen Erwartungen litt. Qualcomm enttäuschte dagegen mit schwächeren Margen und einem vorsichtigen Gewinnziel für das laufende Quartal. Auch Carvana blieb trotz höherer Umsätze bei den Margen hinter den Erwartungen zurück, während Bristol Myers Squibb, Cigna, KKR und L3Harris mit starken Ergebnissen und verbesserten Jahreszielen positiv auffielen.

Tras la fuerte oleada de ventas del miércoles, los mercados aspiran hoy a ganar en tranquilidad. La apertura en Bolsas estadounidenses apunta al rebote. Microsoft compensa la incertidumbre en torno a las perspectivas de política monetaria de la Reserva Federal. Pero Meta es el contrapunto con la caída del 90% en su flujo de caja en 2T. A ver esta nocje Apple y Amazon. Y hay datos económicos interesantes. Entre ellos, estimación preliminar del PIB del segundo trimestre, gasto en consumo personaly solicitudes semanales de subsidios por desempleo. En resultados, protagonistas Starbucks, Chipotle y Carvana fuera de tecnología. Lo analizamos todo con Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, de Willybit. En Bolsa española, brillan BBVA y Sacyr tras cuentas. Telefónica, Acerinox y Amadeus son los más castigados.

Bryan Gildenberg has his sights set on margins when it comes to Chipotle's (CMG) earnings after competitors in the fast casual space showed signs of compression. In Starbucks (SBUX), he argues competition will be the key pressure point for the coffee giant, as it will need to justify rising prices to core consumers. Tom White offers an example options trade for Starbucks. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Crisis Management: What Customers Remember Most A company may not have caused the crisis—but it still owns the customer experience surrounding it. In this episode of The Customer Service Revolution Podcast, Denise Thompson and John DiJulius examine what leaders should do when customers may be at risk, facts are still developing, and the organization's reputation is suddenly on the line. Using recent food-safety concerns and well-known brand crises as examples, they explain why silence, defensiveness, and rigid policies can magnify the original problem—and how a fast, transparent response can help preserve customer trust. The Four Principles of Customer Experience Crisis Management John outlines four actions organizations should take when a crisis occurs: Address the situation immediately. Make the highest-ranking leader the visible face of the response. Take full responsibility for protecting the customer experience. Overcorrect to demonstrate that the organization genuinely cares. Customers do not separate a company from its suppliers, franchisees, distributors, or employees. They remember the brand name connected to the experience—and how that brand responded. What Successful Crisis Responses Have in Common Denise and John revisit several high-profile corporate crises, including Johnson & Johnson's response to the Tylenol poisonings, Domino's reaction to an employee-created viral video, Chipotle's food-safety challenges, and JetBlue's response to severe travel disruptions. The strongest recoveries shared several characteristics: Customer safety came before short-term profits. Leaders communicated quickly and frequently. The organization took visible, decisive action. The crisis led to meaningful operational improvements. Customers were shown what would prevent the problem from happening again. Why Service Recovery Cannot Depend on the Employee You Reach The conversation expands from large-scale crisis management to everyday service recovery. John explains the service recovery paradox: when a company handles a problem exceptionally well, the customer can become more loyal than if the problem had never occurred. But that outcome requires a consistent recovery process. TDG's LEAST model helps employees respond effectively: Listen Allow the customer to explain the situation without interruption, defensiveness, or debate. Empathize Acknowledge what the customer experienced and demonstrate genuine concern. Apologize Take responsibility for the inconvenience or impact, even when the employee or company did not directly create the original problem. Solve Resolve the issue or take ownership of finding someone who can—without forcing the customer to repeat the story to multiple people. Thank Thank the customer for bringing the problem to the organization's attention and creating an opportunity to make it right. Stop Hiding Behind Policy Policies can protect consistency, but they can also prevent employees from using sound judgment. John shares the story of a longtime salon client who was charged for a missed appointment after her husband unexpectedly died. When she questioned the charge, the manager responded, "Sorry, that's our policy." The problem was not an uncaring employee. It was a system that had trained the employee to enforce a rule without giving her the confidence or authority to recognize an obvious exception. Leaders must decide whether onboarding primarily teaches employees what they cannot do—or prepares them to serve customers and one another with judgment, empathy, and ownership. Key Takeaways A company may not have caused a crisis, but it owns the customer experience of that crisis. Customers judge brands by what they do next. Silence allows speculation to control the story. The highest-ranking leader should be visible during a significant crisis. Taking responsibility is different from accepting legal blame. Overcorrecting can demonstrate that customer safety matters more than short-term costs. Employees need a clear service recovery process and enough autonomy to use it. Every transfer forces the customer to relive the problem and often increases frustration. Policies should provide guidance without eliminating judgment and empathy. A crisis can strengthen trust when it produces transparent action and lasting improvement. Memorable Quotes "Customers don't experience your supply chain. They experience your brand." "A company may not have created the problem, but it still owns the customer experience of the problem." "It's never what happens that is the worst thing. It's the cover-up." "Customers rarely judge a brand by whether something went wrong. They judge it by what the brand did next." "Listen like you're wrong." "Whoever gets the initial complaint owns it." "Every time customers have to retell their story, they get angrier." "Remove the word 'policy' from your company's vocabulary."

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. .

Lindsay just had her first therapy session, and it did not go the direction you'd expect. She's feeling a "solid friendship vibe" with her husb and her therapist says to shut down feelings and stick to facts. He called her in a time of need, Lindsay showed up with Chipotle, quietly packed her Nespresso machine into her purse, ate half his burrito while he was in the bathroom, and left. Meanwhile Cyber went quiet for three days and Chelsea and Lindsay confirmed the weird energy was real and they talked it out. Plus: living together quirks, the world's greatest closet, Chelsea doing laundry every three days whether you want her to or not, and what it actually feels like to be alone for the first time in your life. Send us a textSupport the showLike, subscribe, and share with that one friend who needs a reason to laugh.

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.

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.

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.

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.
