Podcasts about KFC

Summer officially arrives the way it always does: with somebody's air conditioner choosing violence.This episode of The Rizzuto Show starts with Rafe discovering his AC has completely quit—and every company advertising "24/7 emergency service" suddenly has very different ideas about what "24/7" actually means. After hours of phone calls, troubleshooting that mostly consisted of standing around with hands on hips pretending to understand electrical panels, and enough thermostat resets to qualify for an engineering degree, the crew wonders if homeowner subscriptions have officially replaced common sense.Along the way, the gang debates the universal husband instinct of staring at broken appliances until they magically repair themselves, why every emergency service somehow funnels through the same call center, and whether Sherry deserves a raise for patiently answering everyone's increasingly desperate phone calls.Then things take a sharp turn into one of the greatest local stories imaginable.A KFC employee in North County decides company policy can wait after tackling an armed robbery suspect in the parking lot. The crew immediately begins casting Jason Statham as an ex-government operative secretly working the drive-thru window in what instantly becomes the greatest action movie Hollywood still hasn't made.As if that wasn't enough, Lern introduces everyone to a surprisingly emotional Netflix movie that sends the conversation spiraling into the slow death of voicemail culture, while the crew debates which everyday things will disappear as older generations fade out. Landlines? VHS tapes? Random messages that somehow sat in your inbox for three years? Nothing is safe.The crew also tackles one listener's parenting dilemma involving an absolutely terrible kid who has officially worn out his welcome, leading to stories about getting banned from friends' houses growing up, terrifying 90s parents, and why sometimes being the parent means embracing the villain role.Throw in weather panic, broken thermostats, neighborhood legends, retirement community shenanigans, bizarre Florida news, homeowner frustration, nostalgic childhood stories, and enough sarcastic commentary to survive even the hottest week of the year, and you've got another unforgettable episode.Whether you're listening on your morning commute, pretending to work, hiding from your broken AC, or simply looking for your favorite daily comedy show, this episode delivers the laughs, ridiculous conversations, and unexpected tangents you've come to expect.Thanks for making The Rizzuto Show part of your routine.

Somewhere during the argument Riz admits he's gaming Waze just to earn imaginary points, Woody questions humanity, and Moon becomes Bing's official spokesperson.Then things somehow get even weirder.The crew debates home ownership versus renting, subscription services invading literally everything, catalytic converter thefts, why landlords secretly deserve medals, and whether calling your landlord to change a light bulb should be considered a crime.From there, the conversation completely derails into horrifying toothbrush habits. Seriously...if your toothbrush looks like it fought in several wars, Lern wants you to know she's apparently one of those people. Dentists everywhere may need a moment after this episode.The laughs keep rolling as Woody shares restaurant recommendations from Pittsburgh, everyone debates St. Louis food loyalties, Rafe discovers Corner 17, and the gang somehow lands on one of the most important questions ever asked:Which restaurant logo would you permanently tattoo on your body for free food for life?Today starts with Global Beatles Day as the crew celebrates one of the biggest moments in music history before arguing over the greatest Beatles songs ever recorded. George fans, Paul fans, John fans...and poor Ringo once again catching strays.Then it's straight into celebrity chaos.Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding rumors explode after reports of a mysterious Madison Square Garden event, and somehow this turns into an actual gambling pool inside the studio.

This week’s Pirate Street Journal episode covered three topics that, on the surface, seem unrelated: the SpaceX IPO and its acquisition of AI coding startup Cursor, the rise of plug-in solar panels for everyday consumers, and KFC’s ambitious brand overhaul. But at the end, each story carries a deeper lesson about how categories are born, how they grow, and what separates winners from everyone else. The Pirate Street Journal is a business show with a simple but provocative premise: the Wall Street Journal does not know how business really works. Not because its journalists are incompetent, but because mainstream business media obsesses over companies, products, and technologies while almost completely ignoring market categories. Hosted by Christopher Lochhead alongside Eddie and Bri, the show takes three major business stories each week and examines them through the category design lens. The result is a sharper, more useful read on what is actually happening in the economy and why it matters. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   SpaceX Did Not Just Buy a Startup, It Bought a Category SpaceX went public last Friday, and by Tuesday it had become one of the five most valuable companies in America, surpassing Amazon with a market cap of roughly $2.5 trillion. Days later, SpaceX agreed to acquire Cursor, an AI coding startup founded by four MIT students in 2022, for $60 billion in stock. Cursor had been valued at around $29 billion just months earlier, so SpaceX effectively paid double almost overnight. Most coverage focused on the eye-popping price tag and the fact that Cursor has roughly 20 employees. But Christopher argues that framing misses the point entirely. SpaceX did not make a consolidation play, where a company in a mature market acquires a competitor to cut costs and grab market share. This was an acceleration play. What SpaceX purchased was the category king position in a brand new and rapidly growing software category: AI tools for building software with AI. Cursor’s founder called it a new type of software, and he meant it. SpaceX, which already owns the bottom of the AI infrastructure stack through its Colossus supercomputer and orbital data center ambitions, just bought its way into the top of that stack through applications.   Plug-In Solar Is Not a Green Hobby, It Is a New Category Forming in Real Time Over a million households in Germany have installed plug-in solar panels that hang from a balcony and connect directly to a wall outlet in under an hour. Each unit is capped at around 800 watts and costs roughly $500. In states like California and Hawaii, where electricity runs 30 to 40 cents per kilowatt-hour, the panels pay for themselves in three years or less. Nine US states have already legalized the technology, with more than 20 others working on similar legislation. Eddie points out that traditional rooftop solar remained a luxury product because of permitting costs and installation complexity. Stripping those barriers away creates a fundamentally different category: distributed, consumer-owned power sold at Costco prices. The real power here is the network effect. One household with solar panels feeding back into the grid is a novelty. One million households doing it is a functioning power plant. Ten million changes the entire economics of the American grid, reduces peak demand costs, and buys the country time while large-scale nuclear and orbital solar infrastructure are developed. As Christopher notes, when a category is designed to produce radical abundance and includes a network effect, the compounding impact becomes truly transformational.   KFC Is Trying a New Look, But the Real Problem Is the Category Model Underneath KFC operates more than 3,600 locations in the United States, which is actually more than Chick-fil-A. And yet Chick-fil-A generates roughly $7.5 million per store each year while KFC pulls in under $2 million, despite being closed every Sunday. KFC’s response is a sweeping rebrand: new sauces, a boba and shakes drink line, immersive restaurant screens, a new logo, and a redesigned loyalty program. Eddie explains that the three things that actually drive success in quick service restaurants are beverages, speed of service, and the drive-through. Some of KFC’s moves make sense on the beverage side, since margins on drinks are far higher than on food. But expanding the menu risks slowing down service, which undermines the entire premise of the category. The deeper issue is structural. KFC is owned by Yum Brands, which for years co-located KFC with Taco Bell, confusing both the consumer and the category. Chick-fil-A, by contrast, is private, has an extraordinarily selective operator model, and charges just $10,000 for a franchise because it is looking for missionaries rather than mercenaries. That ownership clarity and cultural alignment is what produces four times the revenue per store, and no amount of boba or new signage is likely to close that gap without addressing what is happening underneath the brand.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Yum! Brands' sale of Pizza Hut, Jersey Mike's overtaking of Chick-fil-A in a major consumer sentiment study, and KFC's announcement that it was entering a new chapter for growth. First up is Pizza Hut, which was officially sold by Yum! Brands in two transactions totaling $2.7 billion. Sam and Alicia discuss the potential future of the brand, and particularly its U.S. business, which was acquired by relatively new private equity firm LongRange Capital. Can Pizza Hut reclaim the loyalty of fans who are nostalgic for its Classic model? Next up they talk about the most recent American Consumer Satisfaction Index, in which Jersey Mike's came out on top — after 11 years of Chick-fil-A taking the crown. Should Chick-fil-A be worried? Sam and Alicia break down the study and why the data matters (to a point). They then transition to KFC, which announced a new “chapter” in which the company would focus on menu innovation, refreshed branding, and modernized stores. Alicia breaks down all the components of this new chapter, and she and Sam talk about how KFC is well positioned to learn from its global stores here in the U.S. They shift their attention to the increase in store closures — On the Border, for example, is now down to only 6 units — before closing with a Quick Fire round in which they cover Panera Bread's new bowls and McDonald's (brief) reintroduction of its beloved Apple Pie.

Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (6.16) In this episode, we’re cracking open a wild mix of neighborhood drama, fast-food shakeups, safety reminders, and viral pop-culture chaos. First, residents in an Encino neighborhood say they are fed up with suspicious activity at a nearby home they believe may be used by influencers and content creators filming for OnlyFans. Neighbors claim they have seen scantily clad women in the front yard, litter in the streets, and alcohol cans left behind — including BuzzBallz, the viral ready-to-drink cocktails packing 15% alcohol with flavors like Lotta Colada. Then it’s time for our Fast-Food Update. KFC is rolling out a massive global revamp with a focus on boneless chicken, more than 20 new sauces, next-generation restaurant designs, and a modernized Colonel Sanders logo. The famous red chicken buckets are getting a fresh new look as KFC tries to bring chicken closer to its chicken-loving peers. We also talk about a simple but serious safety reminder: stop wearing all black when walking around after sunset. It may look cool, but it can be extremely dangerous for drivers trying to see pedestrians at night. Next, we break down the big Pizza Hut business shakeup, with reports of Yum! Brands selling Pizza Hut in major transactions. As restaurant prices keep climbing, one thing is clear: pizza is not as affordable as it used to be. And finally, why are kids between 10 and 20 being called the “Lime Generation”? Gen Z and Gen Alpha are colliding with memes, viral aesthetics, Skittles colors, and internet culture. Plus, the Knicks are dominating the tattoo space as emotional fans turn big sports moments into permanent ink.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Cracker Barrel's newfound momentum, KFC's ongoing revitalization, and a menu innovation boom across the industry. First up is Cracker Barrel, which is continuing in its comeback after last year's controversial rebrand derailed growth. In its most recent quarter, Cracker Barrel experienced a same-store sales decline of 2.6% and traffic decline of 6.7% — not great, but better than expected and enough for the company to raise its guidance for the year. Sam and Alicia discuss why this is good news for Cracker Barrel and how CEO Julie Felss Masino has made the right moves to get this brand back on track. Next they tackle KFC, which has experienced three consecutive quarters of same-store sales growth after seven straight negative quarters. KFC's U.S. president Catherine Tan-Gillespie spoke with Alicia about the keys to that reversal, and Alicia shares those details on the pod, plus she and Sam talk about how KFC is competing within an ever-more-competitive chicken category. Then they shift attention to menu innovation across the restaurant industry, which has recently seen a lot of brands expand into new menu platforms — for example, Freddy's bowl introduction, Sweetgreen's wraps, and Crisp & Green's sandwiches. Sam and Alicia talk about how these new menu introductions could help chains, and they discuss beef prices in particular, which could climb higher with rise of the flesh-eating screwworm. Finally, we share an interview between senior food and beverage editor Bret Thorn and Culver's head of culinary, Kasey McDonald.For more on these stories:Cracker Barrel says recovery from logo fallout is ahead of scheduleKFC brings its Supergirl collaboration on the roadCarbs be damned, Crisp & Green is adding sandwiches

In the season finale of Joyful Rebellion, STEAM Box and the Highlander Charter School STEAM Punks are joined by Abby Katz, a behavioral science researcher from Brown University's School of Public Health. We're ending the season sitting pretty at #1 in the world in education and technology as we go deep into the emotional, biological, and cultural connections we have to our most comforting meals, from Jollof rice and KFC to Hot Pockets and McDonald's. Abby Katz breaks down the science of why our bodies crave heavily engineered, salty, and sweet foods, and discusses the importance of moderation without labeling foods as strictly "good" or "bad".The conversation expands into the cultural histories that shape our diets, the reality of "food swamps" in lower-income areas, and tips for finding healthier options by shopping the perimeter of the grocery store. Beyond food, the group tackles the value of higher education, how PhD programs are funded, and the evolving job market in the age of AI. Tune in for an honest, non-binary discussion about how what we eat impacts our mental wellness, focus, and everyday lives.#SteamboxPodcast #JoyfulRebellion #FoodAndMood #ComfortFood #PublicHealth #FoodDeserts #BehavioralScience #CulturalCuisine #MentalWellness #HigherEducation

Welcome back to the grind. Expect a bunch of rain this week! Saves me from having to water the lawn. In the news this morning, a recall on baby wipes sold at Target, a Marine fought off a teenager who attempted to rob him, a shooting at a festival in Ohio over the weekend, the remains of a missing student are found in Japan, a trailer carrying fireworks catches fire on a highway in Tennessee, and a 70 year old man in Massachusetts is facing attempted murder charges after trying to drown a teenager. In sports, the Brew Crew swept the Rockies over the weekend, the Miz sets a record on the speed gun, a recap of the NBA & NHL playoff action from the weekend, the President's appearance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals tonight, Mitch Marner sets a record with his hat trick on Saturday, and Denny Hamlin gets a win in Michigan yesterday. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight, and we discussed the Osbourne's plans to create an A.I. version of Ozzy…and whether or not it's a cash grab. A family that took in a pregnant stray cat realized that she had not five babies…but six! A couple of dudes in Canada helped a baby moose reunite with it's mother after getting separated on a highway by a jersey barrier, and it appears that the Star Wars Lego sets are making their way back to the original owners. In food-related news, Chipotle plans to give away a bunch of freebies after the NBA Finals, KFC has a collectible Krypto bucket, and last year it was jalapenos in your wine…this year it's apparently frozen pickles. Elsewhere in sports, there's a lawsuit trying to stop the UFC event at the White House from happening, the Tampa Bay Lightning goalie wins the Vezina trophy, the Bears moving to Indiana took another step forward this weekend, and Golden Tempo returned to the track to win the Belmont Stakes.

Au Vietnam, une nouvelle réalité inquiète les autorités publiques. Réputée pour son alimentation saine et équilibrée, la gastronomie vietnamienne fait désormais face à de nouvelles habitudes. Aujourd'hui, environ 20 % de la population est en situation de surpoids ou d'obésité. Selon l'Organisation mondiale de la santé, le pays connaît l'une des progressions les plus rapides d'Asie du Sud-Est. De notre correspondant à Hanoï, Sur les trottoirs de la capitale, ces jeunes dégustent des cafés au lait concentré, à la crème salée ou au jaune d'œuf. Une seule boisson peut contenir l'équivalent de la dose journalière de sucre recommandée par l'OMS. Dans ce café branché d'Hanoï, une jeune vendeuse explique la préparation de ses boissons. « La quantité de sucre varie, il y a environ entre 35 et 50 g de sirop, ce qui correspond à environ 20 à 30 g de sucre raffiné pour une portion de boisson de 350 à 500 ml. Les jeunes Vietnamiens aujourd'hui aiment manger sucré, oui, confirme-t-elle. Ils aiment la restauration rapide et boire des boissons qui contiennent beaucoup de sucre. » McDonald's, KFC ou Lotteria : depuis les années 1990 et l'ouverture économique du pays sur le monde, les chaînes de fast-food n'ont cessé de se développer, modifiant progressivement les habitudes de consommation. À Hanoï, dans certains quartiers, jusqu'à 40 % des jeunes seraient en situation de surpoids ou d'obésité. Les villes sont les plus exposées à cette hausse, explique Alice Nguyên, diététicienne. « Il y a beaucoup de nouvelles tendances alimentaires qui arrivent. Par exemple, les boissons et la nourriture, il y a beaucoup de publicités autour de ces produits, souligne-t-elle. La plupart des gens ne sont pas vraiment conscients de comment un apport excessif en calories peut avoir un impact sur le taux d'obésité. » À lire aussiComprendre d'où tu viens pour savoir qui je suis Les jeunes en première ligne Selon elle, les jeunes sont en première ligne face au phénomène. Le gouvernement a récemment annoncé la mise en place de mesures dans les écoles, avec un meilleur encadrement des repas et des actions de sensibilisation auprès des élèves. « Je pense que la génération plus âgée au Vietnam est celle qui consomme le plus de nourriture “réelle”, des aliments non transformés, plutôt que les jeunes », poursuit la diététicienne. Chaque jour, Hoa prépare des petits plats à base de tofu, de sauce de poisson ou encore de légumes frais du marché. Les mains sur la cuisinière, cette soixantenaire remue dans une poêle des champignons et du bœuf, en expliquant ses recettes favorites. « C'est les crevettes sautées avec du porc, sans utiliser beaucoup d'huile, et les plats sont très légers, tout en étant nutritifs, souligne-t-elle. Par exemple, le tofu frit avec des oignons, ou encore du poulet bouilli, dont le bouillon peut être utilisé pour cuisiner la courge. » Pour encourager la consommation de produits plus sains, les autorités vietnamiennes multiplient les mesures. Depuis 2026, l'étiquetage nutritionnel plus détaillé est devenu obligatoire sur les produits alimentaires. Le pays doit progressivement faire entrer en vigueur une taxe sur les boissons sucrées.  À écouter dans Le goût du mondeLe secret des Vietnamiennes

Did you know KFC founder Colonel Sanders hated their mashed potatoes?

The New York Times‘ obituary (5/18/26) for former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman quotes him saying that “policemen never get the benefit of the doubt.” The racism of Mark Fuhrman, the Los Angeles police detective whose involvement in the O.J. Simpson murder investigation helped sink the prosecution's case, was so well-known comedian Dana Carvey once mocked him with a Nazi salute, calling him “Mark the Fuhrer-man.” Fuhrman's death this month (New York Times, 5/18/26) took middle-aged and older Americans back to 1995, when the televised trial of Simpson, accused of murdering his ex-wife and her friend, dominated media for much of the year. During the trial, audio recordings and witness testimony revealed Fuhrman's use of the n-word and other racist views, sinking his credibility as the cop responsible for recovering the “bloody glove,” the key piece of evidence tying Simpson to the killings. Because he had previously testified that he never used the word, it opened an opportunity for the defense to suggest he wasn't honest about other things—and had a motivation to frame a Black celebrity. Unrelenting racism In July 2017, CNN‘s Kyra Phillips played new excerpts from the Fuhrman tapes. The tapes portrayed hours of unrelenting racism. “All these n*****s in L.A. city government…all of them should be lined up against a wall and fucking shot,” he said. And often sexism as well: “What if I’ve just been raped by two buck n*****s, and a female shows up?” During the trial, witness Kathleen Bell testified that Fuhrman had said, “If I had my way, all the n*****s would be gathered together and burned.” Bell told the court, “When he sees a Black man with a white woman driving in a car, he pulls them over,” with no traffic violation needed (Washington Post, 9/5/95). Fuhrman became the national representation of the American racist cop. He invoked the Fifth Amendment when questioned about his handling of evidence (LA Times, 9/7/95), offering the shadow of a doubt the jury needed to acquit the former football and movie star. In his fiery closing argument, defense attorney Johnnie Cochran characterized Fuhrman as “this perjurer, this racist, this genocidal racist.” Fuhrman pleaded no contest to a perjury charge a year later (CNN, 10/2/96). But there was something bigger about Fuhrman, and it's something we can deeply feel in the media environment today. ‘Unwitting catalyst’ Mark Fuhrman interviewed in ESPN‘s OJ: Made in America (2016). The legal “dream team” Simpson assembled certainly focused on pushing the jury for an acquittal—that's a defense lawyer's job. But as outlined in both the dramatized The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story on FX and ESPN's OJ: Made in America, defense lead Cochran also built a larger case for a larger audience. (Side note: FAIR's Janine Jackson briefly appears in the ESPN documentary in a segment about media coverage of the trial.) Nicole Brown Simpson was killed at her Los Angeles home, along with Ron Goldman, on June 12, 1994, just two years after the city was engulfed in racial rioting as a result of an acquittal of police officers who had been videotaped brutally beating a Black man, Rodney King. For much of America, the rioting was a dividing moment. Civil rights activists saw it as the explosion of a powder keg under pressure of decades of tension between LA's Black community and the cops. A great deal of white America saw the rioting as an inexplicable overreaction. Press voices had their doubts too. Newsweek (5/10/92) called the looting “a manic fiesta, a TV game show with every looter a winner.” Cochran set out to change the narrative, to demonstrate to the white public that Black Los Angeles has systemically suffered from racist policing. Ben Ehrenreich (Guardian, 4/22/20): “The thousands of African Americans who migrated to Los Angeles from the Jim Crow south had found similar cruel realities awaiting them.” In Set the Night on Fire, Mike Davis and Jon Weiner outline the ongoing war against the Black community by LA cops in the 1960s, erupting in the 1965 Watts riots. From the Guardian‘s review (4/22/20): LA's police make dramatic appearances in almost every chapter, clubbing peaceful protesters, brutalizing activists and killing so many Black men, and with such absolute impunity, that Davis and Wiener's claim that “the Manson gang were bit players compared to the forces of law and order” ends up feeling more than fair. In the authors' telling, the wanton violence of the police acted as a consistent if unwitting catalyst to historical change: It was the chaos that followed a ferocious LAPD assault on anti-war protesters that added to Lyndon Johnson's decision not to run for re-election in 1968, and the LAPD's murder of a Black Muslim named Ronald Stokes—seven other Muslims were shot in the same incident—that pushed Malcolm X towards a broader vision of Black liberation. The shared experience of LAPD violence, Davis and Wiener write, forged a “common culture of resistance” among Black and Chicano youth, white hipsters and anti-war activists, and the city's gay community. This situation hardly improved with the economic turmoil of the 1970s, or the reactionary retreat of the 1980s. For many Black Angelenos, the 1992 riots weren't about one videotape, but about this entire history. Cochran had an opportunity to reveal the situation in the early ’90s to America. And with Fuhrman, who was called by the prosecution to bring the bloody glove into evidence, Cochran was able to show a feverishly racist man at the center of this investigation. ‘Kill somebody and go have some chicken’ Sean Hannity (Hannity, 1/10/23) interviewing Pam Bondi (then a former Florida attorney general) and Mark Fuhrman. In the end, Simpson was acquitted, and Fuhrman became a symbol of a divided America. It’s quite telling that the disgraced cop later found a landing place on Fox News. The Murdoch media empire created the news network the year after the Simpson trial as the antithesis to what it claimed was a liberal slant in corporate television news. Bringing on Fuhrman as a recurring guest—and, later, giving him his own show on Fox Nation—didn’t just promote his own public rehabilitation, it foretold a shift in “acceptable” discourse on right-wing TV. Fox‘s Greta van Susteren (5/19/05) defended having him on as a frequent guest: Mark happens to be a very, very, very smart detective—one of the best I have ever worked with and I have worked with many. He really thinks about the investigations we book him on the show to discuss. But Fox was attracted to Fuhrman not by his smarts, but by his hate. The racism that spilled out in the Simpson trial—Fuhrman's animosity toward the people who he was sworn to protect and serve—catered directly to the Fox audience. Another Fox star that routinely showcased Fuhrman was Sean Hannity (Extra!, 9/13). On Hannity & Colmes (11/16/06; cited by Media Matters, 11/20/06), Fuhrman asserted that the the type of “people” he “dealt with … for 20 years” will kill somebody and go have some chicken at KFC. You will catch them eating chicken and drinking a beer after they just murdered three people. He added that “these people are out there. They’re all over the place.” In another appearance, Hannity (Hannity, 7/16/13) brought the ex-cop on to speculate on whether Black people would riot if George Zimmerman were found not guilty of murdering an unarmed Trayvon Martin in Florida. “Mark, it seems to me like it's going to be a dangerous scenario for the cities where this is going to occur,” said Hannity. Fuhrman replied, “I think you're right, Sean,” and proceeded to fantasize about protesters “assaulting people, assaulting officers, so when you cross that line, it's pretty obvious, and, you know, this is completely drawn on racial lines now.” ‘They just take more and more’ “You can always find something that doesn’t look like justice was served one way or another,” Mark Fuhrman tells Megyn Kelly (and right-wing novelist Brad Thor) on Fox‘s Kelly File (7/8/16). Fuhrman had nothing but contempt for the Black Lives Matter movement erupting in Ferguson, Missouri. He told Fox News' Megyn Kelly (8/10/15): Stopping traffic is not a lawful demonstration. Stopping pedestrians is not a lawful demonstration.  Stopping regular traffic on sidewalks in front of buildings. That is not lawful demonstrations. And they should enforce it. And you know, when you allow some kind of, you know, leeway, they just take more and more. And now we have people that are not on the city council and they’re not on the police department, no matter how represented the Black community is. They are not there. You’re dealing with gang members and street drug dealers that are just hanging out. They’re armed and they’re taking advantage of a hesitant police department. How did Fuhrman respond to a video of “a white school police officer in a Columbia [South Carolina] classroom grabbing an African-American student by the neck, flipping her backward as she sat at her desk, then dragging and throwing her across the floor” (New York Times, 10/26/15)? He made the officer a saint on Fox. Media Matters (10/27/15) quoted Fuhrman: He requested her. He verbally did that. The next level is he put a hand on her. She escalated it from there. He used soft control. He threw her on the ground, he handcuffed her. He didn’t use mace. He didn’t use a Taser. He didn’t use a stick. He didn’t kick her. He didn’t hit her. He didn’t choke her. He used a minimal amount of force necessary to effect an arrest. In 2019, he attacked Democratic presidential hopefuls for their police reform rhetoric on the Ingraham Angle (8/2/19), saying those politicians were looking to win “that 18-to-25-year-old base that is involved in all these movements—these anti-government, anti-establishment, anti-republic, anti-Trump” movements. He eventually was given his own show on Fox News spinoff Fox Nation, the Fuhrman Diaries, which ran from 2018 to 2022. (Fox promoted him as “America's most controversial detective”—LA Times, 11/29/18.) ‘Total reputational annihilation’ Just because someone lied under oath about using racial slurs dozens of times doesn’t mean they should be canceled (Wall Street Journal, 5/20/26)—and by “canceled,” we mean given their own TV show. People can and do change over time. Fuhrman gave a somewhat nuanced view on Fox News (Ingraham Angle, 5/29/20) about the police killing of George Floyd, which resulted in widespread political unrest. He called Floyd's killing “a slow-motion homicide,” and said the video footage was “a slow and really painful thing to watch of somebody grinding somebody’s face into the pavement until they’re dead.” At the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal, columnist Matthew Hennessey (5/20/26) christened Fuhrman a victim of cancel culture, admitting that he was a “bad cop,” but that he was among the first to suffer the total reputational annihilation that has become a hallmark of life in the digital era, where everything you say—or have ever said—will one day be used against you in the court of public opinion. It’s a strange sort of “reputational annihilation” that gets you regularly showcased on a national cable TV network, and then gives you your own show. Fuhrman’s afterlife as a commentator foretold a media conservatism that flips the narrative about racist policing on its head, where prejudice becomes a sign of expertise. It’s a legacy we live with today in MAGA America, even with Fuhrman having departed this world. Research assistance: Priyanka Bansal

Wendy's has a new CEO, Cava had a great first quarter, and KFC is continuing its comeback plan with fried pickles.

What started as a normal Friday episode quickly turned into one of the most emotionally unstable shows we've had in a while. Honestly, nobody was prepared for how hard the “saddest movie deaths ever” conversation was going to hit. One minute we're joking around about Pointfest and celebrity gossip… the next minute half the room is emotionally compromised over Artax from The NeverEnding Story slowly sinking into the Swamp of Sadness while childhood memories collapse in real time.This episode of The Rizzuto Show goes deep into the emotional destruction caused by movies like The Lion King, Big Fish, My Girl, The Green Mile, Logan, Forrest Gump, Titanic, Harry Potter, Inside Out, Fox and the Hound, Steel Magnolias, All Dogs Go To Heaven, and about 400 others because apparently everyone on this show carries unresolved cinematic trauma.Moon gets surprisingly philosophical. Rafe gets aggressively emotional about animated foxes. Lern somehow manages to make everybody sad repeatedly. Scott contributes exactly the kind of unhinged movie takes you'd expect from Scott. Meanwhile Riz attempts to hold the entire thing together while the conversation spirals into increasingly depressing territory.And somehow — somehow — we pivot from emotional movie deaths directly into celebrity gossip and fried chicken.Because that's radio, baby.We break down the bizarre report that Michael Jackson allegedly ate KFC for nearly every meal of his life. Naturally, this leads to an aggressive debate over mashed potatoes, fast food quality decline, chicken sandwich wars, buffet nostalgia, and whether anyone should trust powdered potatoes emotionally or spiritually.The celebrity chaos doesn't stop there:Paul McCartney refuses selfies because he feels like a zoo animalBritney Spears may or may not have terrified an entire restaurant while holding a knifeTaylor Swift wedding rumors are getting more secretive than a CIA operationKorn is apparently sitting on 40 unreleased songsPink Floyd now has collectible coins because reality means nothing anymoreThis funny podcast somehow manages to combine emotional damage, celebrity nonsense, food debates, weird news, sarcastic humor, and total radio chaos into one gloriously ridiculous episode. If you like a daily comedy show that sounds like your funniest friends slowly losing control in real time, welcome home.The Rizzuto Show continues delivering the kind of funny podcast energy that only happens when nobody in the room knows how to stay on topic for longer than 45 seconds.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Who knew Michael Jackson was a huge fan of KFC and Allyson's shares something you might not know about Alex Trebek!

It's a bizarre variety show kind of week over here on the deep dive! We're talking Epstein “suicide note”, Brittany Furlan x Ronnie Radke catfish scandal, Alex Murdaugh's convictions being overturned, the pop up Epstein file museum in NYC, and Michael Jackson's very weird private jet rider (spoiler alert: the dude lovedddd KFC).

In episode 357 of The Real Jason Duncan Podcast, most people spend their whole lives waiting for the "it factor" to show up — the natural talent, the X factor, the thing that separates the successful from the rest. Dr. Justin Moseley sat on the bench, panicked through a college speech class, and believed for decades that success was for other people. Then he figured out the lie — and built one of the largest natural health clinics in Tennessee, became a 2-time TEDx speaker, and launched a top-rated global podcast. Dr. Justin Moseley — chiropractor, entrepreneur, 2-time TEDx speaker, and host of The Mindset Doctor Podcast — is back for his second appearance on the show (originally Episode 9 under the former name The Root of All Success). Justin and his wife Courtney co-founded Music City Health Center, one of the largest natural health clinics in Tennessee, and Justin has since built a global platform helping high achievers strip away limiting beliefs and expand what they think is possible. Today, we're not covering his origin story — we're going deep on the golden cages, the lies he believed, and the mindset frameworks he used to break out of them. This episode dives into: 1.Why every kid on his team had more natural talent — and why he still outplayed them all 2.The earliest experience that anchored in the belief "speaking is not for you" — and how it followed him into adulthood 3.Why affirmations and meditation don't work for most people (and what's actually missing) 4.The difference between positive thinking and real mindset work — and why one is like pulling weeds and the other is just pretending they're not there 5.Dr. Joe Dispenza's research: 60,000 thoughts a day, 90% negative, and almost none of them conscious 6.Carol Dweck's mindset study and what happens when teachers believe kids are gifted — even when they're not 7.The thermostat analogy: how your internal set point keeps capping your income, success, and identity 8.Why changing your actions without changing your beliefs is the most common and most expensive mistake entrepreneurs make 9.The water bottle analogy: you can only hold what your mindset has room for 10.What Colonel Sanders starting KFC at 65 reveals about the self-imposed ceilings we never question 11.How Justin went from near-failing a speech class to speaking on TEDx stages — and the exact affirmation that started the shift 12.Why the most dangerous lies aren't hiding — they're dressed up as self-awareness and realism If you've ever told yourself "that's not for me" — this episode is the one that finally calls it what it is.

It was a normal friday night in Kilgore, Texas and the local high school was having a football game that basically, the entire town showed up to. Looking forward to a fun-filled evening, no one could’ve imagined what horrifying events would take place over the next 24 hours. Join us as we discuss the horrible events of September 23, 1983, also known as the KFC murders. RIP to the victims
