Podcasts about showbiz pizza

I have met a couple of adults who are unlucky enough to have never visited a Chuck E. Cheese as a kid. Many of them were not able to fathom why anyone would feel affection to the chain. Some of them would be lucky enough to see it through their kid's eyes' eventually, but for many, they will just never understand the magic. So on today's episode of the Retroist Podcast, I want to talk a little bit about that magic. I started by discussing my first experience at Chuck E. Cheese. It was a mind-blowing time and one that I wish I could relive. Then I move onto the company itself. I talk about its founding, its founder, its growth, its relationship with Showbiz Pizza, its falls, rebirths and much more. I tried not to go too deep on the business of the company, but instead try to give a solid overview that should work for people familiar with the chain and those who aren't. Chuck E. Cheese was built for kids. It was a message its founder, Nolan Bushnell liked to make sure people working there knew. But this was also a major chain that made history and looked like it was going on to huge things in the early 80s, but having tied themselves to the arcade industry, it was hurt by the crash of 1983. Still, the company managed to dig itself out, refocus and continue. Other companies and food chains have come and gone, but Chuck E. Cheese adapts and survives.

Is nostalgia alone enough to keep Chuck E. Cheese afloat in 2025? As the chain continues to crawl its way out of bankruptcy, they'll need to win over the next generation of kids — or perhaps, their parents — to keep the arcade lights on. Ben Coley of the trade publication QSR Magazine joins David to discuss how Chuck E. Cheese is making money these days, and whether they'll be able to stick it out for another 50 years. Later, Ross Brakman of the American Treasure Tour Museum shares the origins of the animatronic bands that came to define Chuck E. Cheese and ShowBiz Pizza Place all those years ago — and the love that adults and kids across the world still have for these characters.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

It's 1982, and after months of bitter fighting, Nolan Bushnell of Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theater and Robert Brock of ShowBiz Pizza Place finally strike a legal truce. With the video game market crashing and the novelty of their brands fading, Chuck E. Cheese faces mounting debt and is forced to file for bankruptcy. ShowBiz Pizza, also feeling the economic strain, realizes their only chance to survive is by merging with their former rival. But is combining forces enough to revive these ailing businesses?

It's 1976, and Atari founder Nolan Bushnell is on a mission to launch a family arcade disguised as a pizza parlor. He comes up with a name that's impossible not to smile at—“Chuck E. Cheese”—and combines pizza, video games, and animatronic entertainment. The chain quickly becoming the go-to destination for a generation of American kids. And as business takes off, hotel mogul Robert Brock sees the potential to franchise, but after feeling misled by Bushnell, he demands their contract be torn up. Brock goes on to create a rival chain called ShowBiz Pizza Place, pitting his bear mascot, Billy Bob, against Chuck E. Cheese's scrappy rat in an all-out battle for pizza parlor supremacy.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

This week we're taking a look at the curious history of one Charles Entertainment Cheese, a robot who claims to be “America's favorite rat” and built a cardboard-flavored pizza empire which heralded the cybernetic colonization of our childhoods and traumatized generations with animatronic animals dug straight out of the uncanny valley.  We look at the history of Charles Cheese and the various personas he's inhabited, from rude cigar smoking gangster rat, to rockstar orphan mouse,  the rivalry between Chuck E. Cheese and Showbiz Pizza, the incredibly odd persistent fandom and the ill-advised Chuck E. Cheese live action sci-fi film. We also look at the history of animatronics, from their inception to their role in keeping asses in pizza parlor seats, and how pizza and animatronics collided in 1970's California and gave birth to the eldritch terror that is Chuck E. Cheese.  Pay us and we won't send the rats after you.

Dylan, Sam & Wade hang out & talk FNAF, Showbiz Pizza memories & lots o tangents :) :)

Karl and Tonya from When It Was Cool return to discuss the new video game inspired horror movie Five Nights at Freddy's. While fans seem to love it and it has made a ton of money, critics have brutalized it. The truth, at least in our opinion, stands somewhere in-between! This also falls right into our pop culture wheelhouse as the animatronics in the movie (and game) are based on the old Showbiz Pizza animatronics which leads to some great fun. Is it creepy or is it fun? Let's talk Five Nights at Freddy's (There are spoilers aplenty so be warned!)

At the recent Queen City Anime Con, we were fortunate enough to meet Ash (they/them) who, by pure coincidence, happened to be as big a fan of animatronic children's entertainment pizza robots as Brandon. It was too good of an opportunity to pass up, so we got them on the podcast to chat about Nolan Bushnell, Pizza Time Theatre, Showbiz Pizza, Rock-a-Fire Explosion, and Charles Entertainment Cheese. Not a typical episode, but we had fun.  SIGN UP FOR OUR MONTHLY NEWSLETTER https://goblinsandgrowlers.beehiiv.com/subscribe JOIN 800+ GOBLINS ON OUR DISCORD http://bit.ly/goblindiscord Catch you all next episode!

Today we are talking to Holly Carroll about how being authentic is a crucial element to your brand. We've said it before and we will say it again. No one will trust you if they can tell it's not the real you. Holly Carroll is the Muskoka Luxury Realtor and author of“Selling Secrets You Can't Afford To Miss." She is also the former Miss Canada.Three Things You'll Learn in This EpisodeLearn how handwritten notes reach your audience.How do you get people's attention?Authenticity always works best.ResourceCheck Out Holly's InstagramReal Estate Marketing DudeThe Listing Advocate (Earn more listings!)REMD on YouTubeREMD on InstagramTranscript:So how do you track new business, you constantly don't have to chase it. Hi, I'm Mike Cuevas to real estate marketing. And this podcast is all about building a strong personal brand people have come to know, like trust and most importantly, refer. But remember, it is not their job to remember what you do for a living. It's your job to remind them. Let's get started.What's up ladies and gentlemen, welcome another episode of the real estate marketing Jew podcast, folks we're chatting about today, we have a social media star, like you got some star power. And I was just sort of scrolling through Instagram. And she messages me and I'm like, Hey, how are you doing Nice to meet you.And it was like, I guess really authentic. And then I started checking you out on social and like, Damn, she's got 90,000 followers or content gets a shitload of engagement. And it looks like she's doing everything right. And I'm looking at your I'm on your Instagram page right now. And dude, perfect. Looks great.And you're a luxury agent out of Canada. So I was like, Dude, why don't we do a show? Let's get on here. Tell us what's, how did you get here? What are you doing? And how are you all over the place? Because you're definitely not shy. And I think one of the problems that people have on social media is like, Oh my God, if I post something, someone's gonna think this of me or someone's gonna think that of me. And at the end of the day, who gives a shit. Nobody hires anyone they don't relate with. And oftentimes in sales and business and whatever the hell we're doing. We often overthink it, I think, and we try to be someone we're not. But my goal today's show, and I have a feeling she's going to do a good job at it is talking about why you should be fearlessly authentic, quote unquote, your own words. So without further ado, let's go ahead and introduce our guests. Miss Holly, Carol. Holly, how are you?I'm wonderful. And thank you so much for having me on. I did find you. Oh, where? Yeah, how did it work? It was actually through this course that I took. And they had your contact. Oh, okay. I'm gonna message this guy. And then boom, here I am on the show. Very grateful to be on this show. If you don't ask you don't get you know what I mean? Like, same thing for all the agents out there. If you don't ask for referrals, you're not gonna get referrals. If you don't tell people you're in real estate, they're gonna keep forgetting and you're gonna be a closet agent. If you don't put yourself out there. It doesn't work because you're the brand now your broker Holly wants you to tell him where you're nothing you said that. I love that you said that because literally like 90% of the time it's just showing up and being out there. Yep, conversations you'd like to face is the brand that's why social media if you're not if you're in real estate, you're not on social like you're only losing an opportunity. I sale time is no longer optional. It's a necessity unless you don't care when other people start cheating on you with agents like Holly you know they're gonna go hire somebody else that's going to be a lot more present than somebody that they forgot about.All right, Holly, so tell us you're in your you do luxury in Holland. I can't say this Canadian name all the Canadian Muskoka Muskoka. Okay. So Muskoka, and that's outside of what Ontario? Yeah, so it's about an hour north of Toronto. And we kind of call it the Hamptons of the North. That's sort of what it's what it's like, it's a lot different than the Hamptons. But if you think of it, it's where that type of the world so Toronto and surrounding areas want to get away and vacation. And it's kind of nice that the rest of the world doesn't really know about it, because that's part of its charm. It is home to a lot of rich and famous during the summertime. It's absolutely stunning. There's 1600 lakes. I sell waterfront property, usually boat houses, it's like a lot of people say it's a Coors Light commercial. It's like a Coors Light commercial. Just picture out your knickers like commercial. Exactly. That is my niche. And how did you get started? How long have you been in in real six year part of the agency, I see a picture of you with Mauricio because I want to get I want to get to on this podcast too. I like Marty, see, I watch all this content. But tell me your agency and that the agency is a luxury brand. Like you guys know this? If you watch anything on HGTV, like it's just a luxury brand. And you're selling luxury properties in a luxury market. So it makes sense that you're dialing in the niche. But where do you How did you get into this? Because people want to? The biggest question I get from people is like, Hey, Mike, I want to sell $2 million houses. And I'm like, There's no marketing or advertising that's ever gonna get you to sell $2 million houses. If you want to sell $2 million houses, you got to start hanging out to people who own the $2 million houses. It's very simple. You have to hang out with the people that are in your database. You don't pick your brand God did it's just the way you're born. Whether you want to embrace it or not as 100% up to you. Okay, so Holly, how did you get into luxury because it's a question that people want to know, but I could I know how it is. I mean, you're just this is your this is your tribe. It looks like here so tell me how you got into it. And when justAll right, and we'll start with that. Of course. So I'm coming up on four years. I will say that anybody listening, you can get into luxury real estate Don't. Don't, you know, forget about that. So, a big thing about being a luxury real estate agent is you got to be luxury. So like you have to become that vibrational match to attract your clients. So when you're out there buying luxury, luxury, show off your luxury things so that people are like, okay, she's obviously luxury. It's not just about luxury, real estate, it's about your whole lifestyle. I sell a light drive like a Toyota Datsun and then it's all luxury houses is what you're saying.Can I wear sandals and shop?I mean, I don't want to discourage anybody either. Like I don't, it doesn't mean they have to go out and buy that Rolex watch, or they have to buy the Lamborghini they can't afford. But there is a mental state you can get into that makes you feel like luxury. Like I always say drink water out of a wineglass like there's little things that you can do where you feel luxury. And then that way when you're around the luxurious clients that have a lot of money, you don't feel so out of place, you know, so embody it luxury, imagine luxury, you know, become a vibrational match to luxury.And then, here in Muskoka, I just kept going to those luxury properties I kept, you know, putting it on social media. I kept dangling the carrot in front of everybody, and then you know what I asked. So I go after the rich and famous and I am not afraid to get in their DM and send them a video or send them a property you would love this property. You know, Mark Wahlberg wants a place here and in Muskoka, and I know the perfect property for him because he likes basketball. And the basketball court overlooks Lake Roscoe, which is one of the best lakes here in Muskoka. So I sent him a video like a response. No, no, yeah, that's hilarious. But even like, Look I'm looking at so we just got out of I do this, like, do this a content creator challenge once a month, and if you guys haven't heard about it yet, sign up for next month's. It's called The Real Estate content creator challenge. And the whole premise of it is like when you're correct, everything you do in life is content, right? But if you go to Holly's Instagram page, I'm looking at it right now. Every photo and image of her on here is is luxury. Like, It's luxurious. She's either at a pool, or she's that like, there's a there's a yacht in one. She's got images of cool, you know, freaking houses, she's got bikini shots, like she just looks luxury, right? And you have to remember that people, you're an average of the content you create from the outside. Right. So like, if you're gonna if Holly's, if she's out here, like hanging out at McDonald's and Showbiz Pizza on Pizza Hut. And I see her over, like running like four wheelers and whatnot. Like, she's not going to have a luxury brand. But perception is a lot everything in this business. And it's marketing, right? It's a marketing, like everything we do is marketing. With social. Yep. What did you do prior to real estate that and why are you so not shy?Like you're not shy? And I think that's half the battle and like, you seem to not really care, others opinions and how do you get there?So before I was in real estate, I was an international model for 17 years. And then I was Miss Canada tourism. So I have been in the public eye, if you will. I've been in marketing for a very long time. But I will say that I was a little shy before. But the reason why I'm not shy now is because I did the inner work. I believed I was an internet, I believed I was a luxury realtor before I became a luxury realtor. So you know, I believe in myself, I love myself, I radically forgive anything that I ever did. I looked back I went and did the work and I love myself beyond anybody else. So like if I get a no to from Mark Wahlberg, which won't happen. He's gonna say yes. But if I get a No, that's okay. Because it's a yes to me. Like I say yes to myself. Great. Yeah. I mean, it's a great way to put it when you first started though, like, you're like, Alright, I'm making the shift everyone now and I see this with a lot of people that it will career transition or whatnot. But like, I used to do this, or I used to do that. And then right when you first get into real estate, people probably knew you. Oh, she's a model before and she has all this and then you probably had overcome that because some people might have stereotypes are out there, right? But you probably said fuck off. I don't really give a shit. Here's who I am, how I roll. But I see that as a major issue. So I think how do you overcome that? that specific day because people are like, Oh, they're gonna think I'm this and that and all of the above? How do you rebrand yourself?That was a big hurdle for me. And I tried to be somebody else. I tried to be that mold that I thought people wanted me to be that corporate mold real estate agent, and it just didn't work out. And it didn't feel good either. So what I was doing is I wasdoing stuff that I didn't want to do. So it was more energy as well. I wasn't getting anything back. And I like you said, I just said, Fuck it. And I thought I am on I was an international model, like, why can't I use that infuse that into a brand? And so I just like I said, I, like we said earlier, I just became fearlessly authentic. And I said, Well, what's the worst thing that can happen? I'm not getting any business now anyways, I'm trying to be somebody else. So I might as well try and be myself and the world opened up, it really did. And anybody listening, be yourself, like people like that?In some won't, right? Let's be honest, like some people gonna be like, Oh, well, blah, blah, blah, and you're like, Great, I'm not gonna get along with you anyways, but when you guys rather have that out of the way before you get in the car and start showing them a bunch of properties. So like, let's talk about different ways and like giving people different ways that we could market this brand. So you might have a listing video strategy where you don't the listing video is nothing more than its you like a runway to tie back into your modeling career. So every single house you're just think of like, you ever see the show? Was it with the two male models? With Ben Stiller? What's the name of that movie? Zoo lander. Zoo lander. Okay. That movies about male models? Yes. Yes. So like, literally, how would a mom how to form model market her business? And she's already doing it. But for those guys thinking, like, how would you do some video like, I don't do listing tours, I do fashion shows, right? There's a big difference with how you market which is going to remember, if she's having an open house, she's probably going to treat it like a fashion show. It's not gonna be a normal open house. That's not how a model would roll. You have to roll with whom you are okay. I've seen people do the opposite. And I've seen people who are big talk, I've seen people build brands off loving tacos. So at open houses, they have a taco truck, right? It's how you do business that people actually remember. And that's the cool thing about this industry is you can do whatever the hell you want. Be whoever the hell you want, but you have to be willing to put yourself out there.How do you marketing your business? Now? What are you doing for business? Like how do you find new people? Other than just I've seen and walk me through what your monthly cadence is in terms of content creation and all the above?Of course. So I have a couple of buckets that I like to fill when it comes to Instagram. I'm fully on Instagram, I try to dabble in Tik Tok, but I'm not really there yet. So I've kind of mastered and I believe I've got a little bit of a groove on Instagram. So I, I focused on that. But I have a few buckets that I like to do. First of all, it's not all about real estate. For me. It's about making an impact in the world. And it's about inspiring others and it's about just the collective. Right. So like, I know, those types of things keep you going. When you're helping other people, they do keep you going. So I there's more ways to to promote and market a listing, right. But there's a lot of ways to get the listing. And I feel like when people look at your page, if you just have real estate listings, they're not going to know who you are. And there you have it. Okay, so I think that that's a common mistake that people do is they only put real estate. But when you go to my page, you know who I am, you know who I am, you know who you're getting, you can decide whether or not you want to move forward or not. But I also like to market everything. So everything is the magical everything is creating a motion. So like I said, I have a couple of buckets is an inspiring buckets, a real estate bucket, it's usually sort of a women empowerment bucket. It's a fun bucket. So I look to see what what I have done in a while. Yeah. Did you like what you just said, really quick. So I think people get a lot out of that. So she's theming out her content. Alright, so she's telling herself in her head, a lot of people have trouble with this. They're like, Well, what do I do, it's not what you do, it's how you do it. So she themed that out, which makes it easier for not for her to not have to think about what's next. So in her head, she's like, I'm doing intermittent, this is how your brain works. But she's probably doing I'm doing for women empowerment posts this week, this month that I'm doing for fun posts this month, and then I'm doing four blog posts this month and I'm doing for this that's a very easy order to follow because you know, what kind of brand you want to build. It's when you don't know what kind of brand you want to build and when you don't have a strategy you don't sit down and actually plan this out then none of it ever happens. People always how do you create so much content it's really easy. I just sit there and 30 minutes and map it out. Like just think exactly are you to hire a real estate marketing dude and we'll do it for you. But or you could take your course or you could take my course you could do whatever you want there's info out there you could find out how to create info out there yes I also batch content of course. Because sometimes also I will say like sometimes I'm very inspired to do content so it's like while I'm on a roll and then sometimes I'm not and and you know we all need a break from social media as well and I will shut it right off shut it down, shut the TV down for a couple of days and just be like this is just me time I need to just like because it's not all about that either. And you don't want half assed me you want full blown me so I do need my timeout as well. Yeah, I'm the same way. It's like I like I didn't want toI don't want to post on social like, honestly, if it wasn't for business, I probably wouldn't be on social media anymore. But it's literally become just part of my business. It's just who am I am? Yeah. But it's like I said, it's a necessity. Remember you guys, every time someone post content 10 to 15% of the people who see your shit are moving, but 100% of them have a referral for you. So don't overthink it. The one who attracts the most businesses, the one who thought at first when the term real estate pops up,is top of mind. And we know that we know that we know about top of mind. I will say I'm glad you said that earlier. But I just want to say it again, is it's about intention. Yeah, all about intention. And I posted something earlier today to that I learned and you know, we used to have to post every day to be top of mind. But now real estate or Instagram is not chronological. So it actually you could have an post that you posted, and three weeks later, it posts up on somebody's feed, because it's still getting engagement. So it's better to be in a detention will not necessarily take too long to post it, but just have a little bit of an intention behind it. And that'll actually spread quicker than just throwing spaghetti at the wall. Yep. And I'm sure you probably get a lot of people like they feel like they know you before you speak to them. Yeah, I'm probably like, whether it's a girl or guy like Dude, no, like, actually, I got that feeling from you when you reached out because you were personable. Here, I'm gonna see what the message actually was. I mean, look on this. And gosh, the person, it was just personal, you know, you're like, Hey, I'm like, Hey, nice to meet you. And you're just cool. So I was like, it was just easier.It was easier to just like, talk to you. And I'm sure that people don't realize that like when you're on social the same way you build a relationship online the same way you build it off.There's no difference. Yeah. And like you said, like, they're not necessarily the client, but they may know somebody else. So I want that when anybody thinks of Muskoka they think of holly Carol period. Yes. Whether that means a buying a house or not, we can get into that I can sell them just get them to me.And we can work that out later. And also to like, it's about helping the world as much as being kind everybody like, eventually that shit pays off to. Yep. It's not just about real estate transactions like that. Just if you're just a better person, if you have intention, if you do the right thing, if you help other people, if you put out some good content that that is good for your soul, it comes back. Yeah, always does reciprocation. You know, when you do some good for someone else, it always comes back to eight.What else do you do for biz? Do you buy any business? I don't think so. Or do you sit open houses? Do you like is everything just 100% attraction based to you or?No, I do a lot of events. So I do a lot of you know, shaking hands and kissing babies. I love events. That's my main thing. Muskoka has that small town feel to even though it's it's very saturated in the summertime in the season? What's the population? What's a media population? Like summer and winter? I actually don't really know the answer that question. There's three main like little towns, but there's it's spread out so much. So it's hard to it. That's hard to say. I'll put that in the comments. Because it changes all the time. It also changes during the pandemic. Just know that it's a lot. There's a lot more people here, it's a tourist season town.What was I saying that right? Oh, yeah. So I, I do a lot of charity events. And the another reason why I do charity events, too, is because I like the people that go to charity events. So I'm not just looking for the rich and famous. I'm looking for the good hearted, rich and famous, you know, so is that where you got your start at? Like, would you say like going to events because I mean, I got started, I got all my business at nightclubs. That was only 22 Then but it was the same concept. Like I would go to meet people. And then I would stay in touch with the people I met. Are you collecting email addresses? Are you sending like you meet people, but then you know how it is meet someone they forget about you the next day. It's like when you showed a video shot.I'm doing strictly social media. I mean, I sometimes get their number, but even even now I'll get their social media and then get and then get theirs. And you know why I do that not just to get more followers, not just so they can see me. But so now I know them. Because remember, we used to have to get a an email or a phone number. And then we'd have to write all the description like, Oh, he's got a dog. And he's got a wife named Joan and edited up. Well, now we can just look at their social media and find something that likes them. And then that's, that's a reason to talk to him. What kind of dog is that? I totally forgot, right? Yeah, because when I would do my calls, I'd be like, Hey, how's fluffy doing? But now I don't even care about fluffy because I could just look on their feet and see fluffy right there. Well, that's that's a very important. So I have a feeling you probably have a strategy on this. So let's let's roleplay this a little bit. Let's pretend we're at a an event, because a lot of people will go to event they don't know what to say. Right? So like, let's just say you're at an event you're there to network, you know you're going for business, right? But you probably like these events anyways. But how do you go out and meet somebody? So let's just say II'm sitting here drinking my little cup of I don't know what's ever in here. Some alcoholic? Yeah, champagne in my Ticor title cup. That's a paper cup. But yeah, I'm drink champagne. I'm sitting there. How do you break the ice? What do you do?I'm very approachable. So we'll we'll laymen's it down. I mean, I would just say hello. When I would ask them questions, the best ways to ask question people like to talk about themselves. Yeah, don't talk about yourself. People like to talk about themselves, and you'll find a way for real estate to get in there. Yep. I always, I always like so what do you do?Yeah, always ask people, What do they do? And then they always ask me back, what do you do?And I just like it just, it just happens. You guys, like don't overthink this. It's not it really is that simple. really is that simple. And then you'll find something that you connect with them to see I'm a huge animal lover. You know, I like boating, there's something that will come up and then that's when you spark that up and started talking about that a little bit more, but don't just bombard them with questions. Once you find a question that kind of connects with you then go more into that, but I wouldn't lead with real estate I never have it comes up. Yeah. People real estate's like always comes up, especially when people are moving like it's just they talk about it, because it's emotional. And they're excited. And it's, it's fun. It's exciting. And don't overthink it. Guys. Have you ever prospected anyone? Have you ever like cold called anyone before? Yes, I'm prospecting Mark Wahlberg. Right?On a phone not on. I guess that's a different way to look at. I haven't looked at it that way before. But it is pressed. I have been prospecting people on Yes, I've been DMing people because I am being a little bit more intentional on who I want to call in.But it's not like the hard sell. It's like it's more just kind ofbuilding a relationship. Yep.I bet you have a lot of these.This is the upper end upper upper class, you're dealing with millionaires, right? I bet you they respect the hustle.They do. Oh, I've gotten a listing that way.I actually said to the guy said, It's okay. If you know if you don't go with me. And he's like, Well, I would really like it if you if you said that, that I should go with you. And I'm like, Well, I definitely want you to go with me. That's funny. But like he appreciated the fact that I like, went and met him and like met him again. Like he almost it's like I courted him almost that day at the upper market wants that. Like they like you, they want you to chase them. And like you got to remember, like when you're dealing at least I can't speak onthe millionaire class of women. But I know how the men react. And I know that they always want to brag about themselves. They want to tell people about the story that got them to where they're at. And it's always just you just have to float their ego. Oh, my God, I'm so impressed by your thing. How did you do it? That's the number one question you could ask anyone who's very successful, and they're automatically going to take liking to you. Every time right.Compliments are good. Questions are good.Like it? i This is this is cool. Any closing thoughts? We like to keep these about 2530 minutes? And we're just right about there. Do you have any final closing thoughts? You want to mention? Anything? Any advice you want to give to people, people who are just I don't know what to post? I don't know what to do. I'm just sort of stuck. How did she become successful? And for years, I've been doing this for 10. And I don't have that success? What is it?I think, think about what you would want to see. So if you were you're the client that you are trying to target, think about what they want to see. And then try to put your spin on it. Don't overthink it, be bold. And just get yourself out there. But be you love it. Why don't you go ahead and tell them what your handle is one more time and you guys want you to go ahead and follow Holly on on social media. And then you can see sort of what she's doing how she's doing it and r&d, it goes like there's no such thing as you know, r&d is a ripoff and deploy, but do it in your way. The cool thing about real estate is that you could do the exact same thing she's doing, you could do the exact same thing anyone's doing but because it's based on your personal brand, eat both, you'd be doing it differently. And there is no way to duplicate that. And that's the power of having a personal brand like people Hey, Mike, what if I have 30 people you're doing videos for in my market, it wouldn't matter because each of those videos are going to be going out to the people that they're associated with. And each of those videos are going to be done in a way that only they can do and that's the most marketable part of your business. It's your personal brand, your persona. It's not people aren't hiring you because you have a license that just gives you a legal right to make money with it. They're hiring you because of how you make them feel.So true. So appreciate you guys listening. Why don't you tell them your handle one more time? So yes, my handle is Holly and Carolyn. I will say reach out to me. I'm here to help. I want to help everybody. And one last thing. Try to create emotion with your content like that.

On today's tour of the museum, we look at Showbiz Pizza! The fun characters, the corporate drama and so much more!

In episode 546, we take a deep dive into the very real and not at all made up histories of your favorite pop culture bands including: The School of Rock, the Showbiz Pizza band, Parappa the Rapper, and the Beets.

Frank's friend Sarah Roberto is filling in for Kathryn Frady. Sarah says that everyone knows Jody Collins, the artist who designed the Frank & Friends Show logo. Frank finally met Jody in person on April 8 at the Friends of Literary fundraiser.  Sarah notices Frank's freeze-dried tortoise Mo. Frank recaps the sad story of Mo's demise and trip to the taxidermist. Frank had to get accustomed to Mo's fake eyeballs. Sarah thinks Mo should have a TikTok account.  Frank needs to find a First Communion gift for his grandson Artie Rocket. Sarah can't remember her First Communion gifts. Frank thinks all of the suggested gifts in the catalog look like the brick-a-brack that an old person would have.  Frank wants to give Artie a book about beheaded martyrs, which Sarah thinks is a terrible idea. Artie once had a school assignment to cut out a scarecrow and color it. Artie cut off its head and glued the head to the scarecrow's hand to make it look more like the Headless Horseman.  Sarah was afraid of the animatronic Chuck E. Cheese characters when she was a kid. Frank's friend Amanda Marr took her son to Kentucky to see a restored display of the Showbiz Pizza animatronic characters.  Sarah asks what Frank's grandchildren call him. He says “grandpa” which Sarah thinks is old-fashioned. She says kids need to call their grandparents by a name they can pronounce. Frank says his grandsons have excellent diction because they like to command Alexa to play their favorite songs.  Last summer, Frank made a Spotify playlist for Artie. Sarah loved making mix CDs of downloaded songs. She would also record songs off the radio. Frank used to record TV themes by holding a microphone to the TV speaker. Sarah wants to get back the mix CD she made for her first husband.  Frank was invited to a men's poker night at the home of a well-to-do doctor. Frank doesn't know how to play poker and the host offered to provide an instruction flashcard. Frank enjoyed the party and the conversation with the other men but was relieved to lose all his chips.  Frank used to know a few card tricks from the magic kit he had as a child. Sarah is okay with magicians but is afraid of clowns. Frank enjoyed watching clowns at the circus.  Sarah says some people are afraid of costumed mascots. Frank's grandsons went to a kid's birthday party where some costumed characters were hired to appear. Charlie Rocket said he hated the “big head” people. Charlie avoided them until it was time for the birthday girl to blow out the candles.  This episode is sponsored by The Middleburg Barn at Fox Chase Farm.

It's been fifty years since Atari's revolutionary game, Pong, ushered in a Renaissance for video arcades in America and gave rise to the animatronic house bands of Chuck E. Cheese and Showbiz Pizza. Albort experienced it in real time and invites you to join him for a stroll down memory lane with detours at the 1982 World's Fair, Blockbuster Video and the hilarious antics that take place within “Shadowrama” all while avoiding the Noid. As a bonus you'll get familiar with the “pleasure principle”, time shifting, parallel visual processing, the innermost thoughts of Pac-Man's enemies, negative option billing and the “Netflix Effect”.

Gather 'round the stage birthday boys and girls! It's time for a special episode about what for some will be a fond childhood memory, and for others will be a resounding horror: Chuck E. Cheese and Showbiz Pizza. A product of the arcade boom in the late 70s, these combination pizza parlor / arcade / entertainment centers were a place where childhood could be embraced. We look at the history of the dueling companies, clown on the characters, and share our own memories of the place.

Does the creator of the animatronic band take issue with the Metaverse ad?

I decided to go to the grand reopening of the defunct Showbiz Pizza now being called the Rock-afire Experience. They promised to have the classic 80's animatronic band arcade machines and everything. Now, I really wish I hadn't gone.

"At Showbiz Pizza you can act like a kid. You can have more fun than you ever did." Truer words were never spoken in the 1980's and on this episode we explore the superior family pizza place: Showbiz Pizza. Of course we can't stay on topic and we veer off into our favorite pizzas, early computers and just what is the token value of a human life?  Here are links to our YouTube playlist and the Nashville Scene article about the Rock-afire Explosion. discord Instagram Facebook projectgenxpod@gmail.com

Ah, the sweet, nostalgic memories of Showbiz Pizza Place - the arcade games, the animatronics, the questionable kid's toys, and of course, the pizza. Bathe in nostalgia with us as we journey back to the 80s where our dads' nursed beers while we were engrossed in the arcade games. We'll also delve into those peculiar third world finger puppets that were often the talk of the playground.Remember Ricky the Rat? We sure do! We'll talk about the evolution of the Chuck E Cheese brand and discuss the legality of the name change from Ricky the Rat to the mouse himself. And let's not forget the iconic arcade games like alligator whack-a-mole and Big Bertha - they kept us entertained for hours! But what about the pizza, you ask? We've got that covered too. Join us for a spirited debate on how Chuck E Cheese pizza stacks up against other pizza offerings and get ready to laugh as we share a hilarious tale about a Domino's pizza that went through reverse osmosis.It wasn't all fun and games though, as any child of the 80s will tell you. We'll address the darker sides of this era, discussing the implications of having a union officer perform alongside the Confederate Critters, and the eerie possibility of animatronics coming alive. We're even brave enough to delve into that most divisive of topics: pineapple on pizza. This episode is packed full of laughter, nostalgia, and a few surprise twists, so sit back, relax, and let's take a trip down memory lane together!We unveil our first "Latchkey Kid" of the Month award.

Like most Macca productions, this one hasn't gotten a lot of publicity, but didja hear that all six episodes of "McCartney 3,2,1" recently dropped on Hulu? Legendary music producer/everyone's favorite uninvited Tittenhurst house guest, Rick Rubin, interviews Sir Paul on some of the most important - and, sometimes, completely random- tracks he ever recorded in his unmatched career. So check your (podcast) machine and get ready for a look at the background of this incredibly satisfying love-fest from M.P.L. and co. It's a little like Paul's version of "The Last Dance," though "3,2,1" shamefully omits any interviews with B.J. Armstrong, the 271st Beatle. It's the film's one big flaw. We'll deep dish on Episodes 2-6 next week; but in this week's show, we'll tackle Episode 1, plus all the pressing topics real Beatles fans are dying to know, like: Why does classic rock radio continually ignore the Steely Dan/Led Zeppelin collab? Does Producer Casey do a killer version of “Crease Lightning”, from the hit RSO motion picture, “Crease”? And can a kid be a kid at both Showbiz Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese? Or is there regional bias at play?  Be forewarned, spoilers abound, both about "3,2,1" and also Run D.M.C.'s 1988 film "Tougher Than Leather." Please send all angry e-mails, both about this and your life-in general, to Tony, also known as Producer Casey.  EPISODE LINKS Come do your best Rick Rubin head nod over on our Facebook page Help out your favorite (untitled) show! Rate and review us on Apple or wherever you listen

ShowBiz Pizza Place, often shortened to ShowBiz Pizza or ShowBiz, was an American family entertainment center and restaurant pizza chain founded in 1980 by Robert L. Brock and Creative Engineering. It emerged after a separation between Brock and owners of the Chuck E. Cheese's franchise, Pizza Time Theatre. ShowBiz Pizza restaurants entertained guests through a large selection of arcade games, coin-operated rides and animatronic stage shows. The two companies became competitors and found early success, partly due to the rise in popularity of arcade games during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The type of animatronics used in the ShowBiz Pizza chain distinguished it from its rivals, which offered many of the same services. Following Pizza Time Theatre's bankruptcy in 1984, ShowBiz merged with the struggling franchise to settle a former court settlement mandate, forming ShowBiz Pizza Time. By 1992, all ShowBiz Pizza locations were rebranded as Chuck E. Cheese's. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dwight-allen/message

This week we had a lovely chat with Daron Beck from Pinkish Black, the synth/keyboard and bass duo who have won the hearts and minds of heavy metal fans around the globe. We chatted about Daron's love for album oriented rock, lots of goth shit, the space rock scene in Denton Texas in the 90s, managing TWO Hot Topic Stores, Showbiz Pizza, doing interior design for offices, and a whole bunch of other great stuff!

We take a deep dive into why ShowBiz Place is no longer in business. Enjoy this episode and thanks for watchings

In the early 20th century, a puppet fervor slowly crept across the America, like rust on a Chevy Nova, as travelling shows made puppeteers into full fledge celebrities, particularly the self-proclaimed “America's Puppet Master” Tony Sarg who was instrumental in creating visually appealing versions of classic children's tales and bringing to life puppets in live action and animated films. Concurrently, ventriloquism acts were breaking from music halls and vaudeville shows to find superstardom led by duos of Arthur Prince and Sailor Jimmy, the Great Lester and Frank Byron Jr., and, of course, Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. America got wood for talking wood. The rise of radio, television, and film provided even broader platforms for puppeteers and ventriloquists to spread their infectious amusements. In a world before special effects, making inanimate objects come alive felt magical and more real than still nascent animation. It was children's television that really embraced puppets as Howdy Doody and Burr Tillstrom's Kukla and Ollie were beamed directly into the impressionable minds of the baby boomers. Lambchop lovin' Shari Lewis, sweater-clad Fred Rogers, and googly eyed Jim Henson all followed suit shortly after making themselves and their creations into international superstars.At about the same nuclear age time frame, you couldn't throw a stone without hitting a socially awkward (and probably sexually frustrated) kid unsuccessfully practicing throwing his voice with a shiny new Emmett Kelly or Mortimer Snerd dummy emulating their heroes like Jimmy Nelson, Bil Baird, and Paul Winchell. They would spend hours listening to instructional records on letter substitutions and tongue positioning. The craze permeated far and wide as even Miss America contestants chose ventriloquism for the talent portion of the show. We even got so lazy that we decided to let robots run our puppets as animatronics started popping up all over place like Disneyland, Showbiz Pizza, and Chuck E Cheese.In this episode, we are going to stare into the cold dead eyes of the dummies. We are going to explore why and how adults mimicking mannerisms into lifeless masses became the preeminent evangelical apparatus. And how things went so far off the rails. So, dim the lights and focus the spotlight. Put on your duck tail tuxedo. Tip your top hat jauntily askew. Straighten your bowtie. Stick your hand up the bottom of your favorite inanimate object and throw your voice as far it goes. Join as we walk through the uncanny valley of the dolls. Just don't let us see your lips move.

Episode Notes S1:E14 – MANSPLAINING, KNEE TOUCHING, PIZZA AND BONER CITY: CARLA AND DELIA REVIEW – THE 5 LOVE LANGUAGES In the season finale, your hosts Carla and Delia wax poetical about a season of ups and downs and sideways and diagonal ways. Delia chats about her homes away from home and how furniture assembly is going (she fought the Tarva and she won!) and how once everything is unpacked she may never leave the house. Carla goes on a date this week with a gentleman caller who reached out via the Facebook. She fancied herself in a French film standing next to her car watching her date walk in slow motion towards her. There was nothing French about those shrimp tacos though! (to die for.) And without further ado, the ladies dive into the final book of the season, “The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts” by Gary Chapman. Carla is impressed by the qualifications of this week’s author Dr. Gary Chapman and having sold 11 million copies of this book and translated into 49 languages is nothing to sneeze at. Even though the book is geared toward people in relationships, Delia took the singles quiz and both Carla and Delia were a little disappointed that their love languages were left off the list (pizza and cake with intercourse respectively). The thirty questions reminded Delia of time spent in the optometrist chair during an eye exam. The gals share the results of their love language tests with no big surprises for either of them. Carla was not entirely thrilled about the authors southern accent, it made her recoil. While Carla is adamant that the theory outlined in the book is worth the religious bent and the occasional mansplaining and condescending tone. Because communication y’all! The book is also geared toward heterosexual people in a relationship. Carla shares some of the exercises that are at the end of each chapter. Quality time at a Chuck E. Cheese being creeped out by animatronics, DIY gifts that include (but are not limited to) a whittled gun cabinet and cat bowties, physical touch that actually warrants a high five (Delia is ecstatic!) and the roundabout way to initiate sex that Delia will NEVER EVER try. The girls take a fond look back on what they’ve learned this season from the variety of books and if they accomplished what they set out to accomplish. Big thanks to our loyal fans and avid listeners! We adore everyone who has laughed with us, entrusted us with their stories and listened to ours.

We weigh the embarrassment of costumed character thrashings in the face of a Trash Party crisis! Showbiz Pizza robots, the best cheesebread, and man-eating trees. Then: semi-Christian coffee shop or a den for goths? Also: Chris’ life is falling apart.

The King was an  animatronic lounge singer who performed in Chuck E. Cheese locations in the 1980's and early 90's, but then he disappeared. The King was a victim of a conflict known as the pizza wars, when Chuck E. Cheese faced off against its rival, Showbiz Pizza for pizza arcade supremacy. The foot soldiers in the pizza war were the animatronic bands that staffed each location—including The King. This episode is a chronicle of the pizza war, with the founder of Chuck E. Cheese, Nolan Bushnell, it's rival, Showbiz Pizza's Aaron Fechter, the people who designed the characters and animatronics, and the people who continue loving these characters, like Jared Sanchez, who continue to create work with these once discarded creatures.

Video arcades did not suddenly spring up overnight. They started small, with a machine or two scattered here and there in pizza parlors, convenience stores, and gas stations. They grew into the full arcades and ultimately moved on to create places like Chuck E.Cheese’s and ShowBiz Pizza. In this episode, we talk about our experiences growing up and seeing this happen firsthand and how they are still evolving and around today!

We head down to our secret prohibition era room to discuss the finer points of mirror people and Showbiz Pizza.  Remember The Rock-afire Explosion?

Episode 2 of "WHY DON'T WE HAVE OUR OWN SHOW?", a new comedy podcast hosted by dirty, stupid goblins Scott Baisden and Anne (name withheld upon request,) with special guest and friend of the show, Michael McCallum, where they take questions from Yahoo! Entertainment and Movies, try to build a better Batman, dunk on the low-hanging fruit of the DCEU, and spend a bit too much time shouting about Showbiz Pizza.

Tread Perilously adds Remington Steele to its rotation with an episode they had to call "Blood is Thicker Than Steele." Laura Holt and Remington Steele are hired to protect the children of a rich ex-patriot whose dubious dealings with the Greykirk Corporation make him a star witness in a federal case against the company. Pretending to be tour guides, they try their best to escort the kids to meet him at the Phoenix courthouse, but with the older son hot for Laura and Remington Steele going to war with the younger daughter, their 48-hour trip becomes a trial all its own. Justin discovers yet another 1980s television classic. Erik once again deploys his Walter Donovan impression. Justin and Erik discuss best practices in regards to knee-touching. Erik points out the important difference between Chuck E. Cheese and Showbiz Pizza. Justin creates the standing order of "See A Clown, Put 'Em Down." Erik suggests quips for Remington Steele as he lacks a good witty comeback game. The discussion inevitably leads to Mass Effect and Red Dead Redemption 2. Justin doubts children like Key Lime Pie. Pierce Brosnan's Bond gets dissected. Erik makes a trip to his geography corner and Justin quotes Multiple Miggs.

This week, we're finally caving into the demand Mark has made since Day 1: discussing our FAVORITE MOVIE JAMS! That's right, we're naming our favorite songs used to score the montages/credits/moments of emotional torment in film history. Keep an ear open as we cover everything under the musical sun: the musical evolution of Kenny Loggins! An elegy for Showbiz Pizza! Mark confuses American Bandstand for Solid Gold! MAJOR TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN SPOILERS! Patrick Bromley has harsh words for Toronto! More! And then some! Etc!

When a serious Private Investigator takes a cartoonish case, the possibility of insanity (or at least inanity) increases by a factor of 88.  To prove the point, Robert Zemeckis, Steven Spielberg, and Alan Silvestri combined film noir with cartoon antics in a live action/animated movie named Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Tune in for ‘toons this week on TechnoRetro Dads.   In the NEWS The Hilarious House of Frightenstein looks to get a reboot, eh?  Eggo’s boost in sales from the Stranger Things craze has abated.  Showbiz Pizza’s house band, The Rockafire Explosion is back together, playing at an arcade in Kansas City.  Everyone’s favorite video game hedgehog (Sonic) is getting his own movie.   We Love Our Cereal Shane in Grand Rapids lets us know about the Cold Stone Creamery mashup with Malt-O-Meal for ice cream cereal.  After hearing about the Dippin’ Dots cereals last week, we think this might be a trend.  PLUS:  JediShua gives his first thoughts on Chips Ahoy! cereal and shazbazzar reviews Dippin’ Dots Banana Split cereal.      Who Framed Roger Rabbit Bob Hoskins, Christopher Lloyd, Kathleen Turner, and Charles Fleisher combined forces in 1988 to create the one-of-a-kind live action/animation movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit.  It’s a tale of mystery, murder, and maroons in a world where cartoons are people, too.  The trouble doubles when Roger Rabbit is framed for the murder of Marvin Acme and Judge Doom’s goon squad searches high and low for the scared hare.  Reluctant detective Eddie Valiant goes against his long-standing practice of avoiding ‘toons and protects Roger long enough to get to the bottom of the case.  Speaking of bottoms, Lou Hirsch portrays Baby Herman, a baby-faced ‘toon actor who is in dire need of a diaper change.  If you haven’t seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit, you need to get to it immediately!  (WARNING: Parental Guidance Suggested)   Feedback Mike MacDonald spots Star Wars in The Great Outdoors so shaz and Shua identify the fast food premiums from 1980 and 1983.  Jonathan Bell lets us know what he thought about Won’t You Be My Neighbor and The Dark Crystal.  Jeff Baucom pulls out the Brian Daley Han Solo novels and reminds us about the Lando Calrissian Adventures (which, evidently, Lando didn’t forget to chronicle in Solo: A Star Wars Story).   Thanks for tuning in to TechnoRetro Dads, EarBuds!  Don’t forget to rate and review TechnoRetro Dads on iTunes, share us and with us on social media, and join discussions about toys, cereal, games, movies and/or shows from the ‘70s and ‘80s by giving the ‘Dads your feedback via voice mail at (209) 878-7323 or sending us a message or mp3 via electronic-M to podcast@TechnoRetroDads.com.   Share and enjoy.

Ever wonder what ShowBiz Pizza would have been like had the Rock-afire Explosion become self-aware with murderous intent? Probably a lot like Five Nights at Freddy’s, which just happens to be our topic of conversation for this episode.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross roll their experiences with fun centers up a gentle slope and into a small hole, rewarding them with points and (hopefully) tickets. Two grown-ass men return to conquer the Valhalla of their youth. Mini Golf. Go Karts. Batting Cages. Ticket Games. In lieu of blood, our reward was tickets. Our hero’s feast was chicken fingers in front of a robot. It was a good day.
