Buckle up for another wild ride on The Chad and Cheese Podcast, where our hosts sling hot takes faster than a fast food drive-thru! This episode's a global smorgasbord, kicking off with a shout-out to Portugal's national football team, who're apparently scoring goals like they're auditioning for a Hollywood blockbuster. Olé! Then, the lads pivot to Taco Bell's grand invasion of Ireland—because nothing says “Irish culture” like a Crunchwrap Supreme at 2 a.m.Next, they dive into the recruitment jungle (see what I did there?) to dissect Welcome to the Jungle, France's slick job platform trying to muscle into the U.S. market. Spoiler: it's like a croissant trying to compete with a double cheeseburger. The hosts break down whether this Euro import can hack it in the land of LinkedIn and Monster, all while preaching the gospel of “know thy market” like it's a recruitment sermon. The convo then zooms into the AI startup Thunderdome, pitting Sintra against Jet HR in a cage match of funding flexes and business models. Who's got the bigger war chest? Who's got the better buzzwords? It's like watching two tech bros arm-wrestle over venture capital. Things get spicy when they tackle AI and automation, with Amazon playing the role of job-market Godzilla, stomping through Europe's workforce like it's a bad kaiju flick. And because no podcast is complete without a moral panic, the hosts cap it off by wagging their fingers at social media's evil grip on today's youth. They're out here advocating for regulations to save kids from the horrors of endless TikTok scrolls—like digital knights in shining armor. Will Welcome to the Jungle conquer America? Will AI eat all our jobs? Will teens survive Instagram? Gotta watch to find out.

Want to request a song? Tell us your rating? Send us a Text Message right now! Chamillionaire – “Ridin'” [feat. Krayzie Bone] Universal; 2006 6.4 (but only if you're in a Dodge Charger with illegal tints)“Ridin'” is the rare kind of song that makes you feel both like a criminal and a misunderstood philosopher—if your philosophy thesis is mostly about how the cops are always watching, especially when you're doing absolutely nothing suspicious in a 22-inch rimmed Escalade at 3am.Chamillionaire, whose name sounds like a Monopoly villain, delivers a performance so straight-faced it could pass a lie detector test while stealing your catalytic converter. Backed by a beat that somehow evokes both “Matrix car chase” and “Windows XP screensaver,” he lays out a lyrical treatise on racial profiling, vehicular paranoia, and the delicate art of looking fly without catching a felony.Enter Krayzie Bone, who slides into the second half of the track like your friend who showed up late to the heist but still brought the good balaclavas. His rapid-fire verse is technically impressive and emotionally impenetrable—a poetic flurry of words that makes you think, “Wow, this is definitely about something deep,” even if you catch about three words total.“Ridin'” had the cultural reach of a flu strain. It was everywhere. Car stereos. Flip phones. Your cousin's MySpace page. It was a protest anthem, a meme template, and a ringtone all rolled into one—basically, the Swiss Army knife of 2000s rap.Is it a good song? Kind of. Is it a perfect song for imagining yourself in a slow-motion low-speed chase through a Taco Bell drive-thru? Absolutely. “Ridin'” doesn't care if you're actually ballin'—it just wants you to feel like you are, especially when you're crawling through traffic with two broken taillights and something mysterious in the glove box.DUBBY DUBBY is declaring WAR on big Energy!

We talk Shark Tank, near meltdowns, betting on yourself, and why the brand is the business.You'll also hear some hilarious stories, get a behind-the-scenes look at collabs with Taco Bell and YouTube stars like Micah Morris, and learn what Jason would build if Bad Birdie had its own video game or country club.This conversation isn't just about golf or apparel; it's about showing up differently, taking risks, and creating something unforgettable.Key Moments:0:00 Why Brand Is Everything5:09 The Birth of Bad Birdie10:00 The Core of a Great Apparel Brand13:14 Brand Is a Feeling, Not Just a Logo18:04 Behind the Scenes of Shark Tank24:55 The Bad Birdie Reserve Line28:16 From Polos to Golf Bags33:36 YouTube Golf & Micah Morris39:10 Could You Win the Masters From the Green?42:39 What Would a Bad Birdie Country Club Look Like?45:50 Would You Rather: Tiger Woods or a Solo 65?50:50 What's Next for Bad BirdieGuest Info:IG: @badbirdiegolf (https://www.instagram.com/badbirdiegolf/)Website: https://badbirdiegolf.com/-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/
Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, joined the podcast fresh off of a trip to Las Vegas where he attended Starbucks' Leadership Experience 2025, where 14,000 managers from the coffeehouse chain, as well as its top executives and other leaders, gathered to reinvigorate the brand, which has faced declining sales for the past year, making it an outlier in the otherwise booming coffeehouse segment. Bret shared some of Starbucks' latest operational initiatives and discussed some of the new menu items he tried, including a layered “strato” Frappuccino, and a raspberry croissant, which he said was a foreshadowing of the raspberry syrup that was being brought back this summer.Pat shared her observations of the latest trendy items of the week, including mocktails at Einstein Bros Bagels, tortilla-crusted chicken strips at Taco Bell, and a variety of new ranch dressings — both Taco Bell and Chipotle have new avocado ranch sauces — and seasonal barbecue-themed items. That led to a conversation between the two hosts about the proliferation of sauces, which are highly impactful in terms of taste and fairly easy to use operationally, both important factors in these times of expensive labor and declining traffic.Then Bret shared his interview with Jonathon Sawyer, chef of Kindling Downtown Cookout & Cocktails, a restaurant in Chicago's Willis Tower.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the three biggest trends of 2025: chicken, beverages, and value deals. First up is chicken, as they talk about Taco Bell's new Crispy Chicken Tacos and Burritos, Culver's new chicken lineup, and Chick-fil-A's two new sandwich tests. As major chains pile on the surge in chicken offerings, how can we expect the trend to evolve going forward? Then they discuss the beverage trend, and specifically soda, where chains are developing proprietary flavors and dirty soda variations. Sam and Alicia see this as a great way for restaurants big and small to stand out in an increasingly competitive field. Speaking of the competition, the two segue into a conversation on value meals and how brands are flooding the market with deals. Does the data suggest this is what consumers want? On this week's extra serving portion of the podcast, senior F&B editor Bret Thorn joins to talk about Starbucks' three-day Leadership Experience 2025, a gathering of 14,000 store managers in Las Vegas that revealed some of the coffee giant's strategy for the future. Finally, we share a conversation between Bret and Another Broken Egg VP of culinary and beverage Joel Reynders.

In this inspiring and thought-provoking episode, host Lauren Lewis sits down with Tom Akers — founder of Renew Bath and Body and Junk Free Skin — for a raw and insightful discussion on the real Pain Points behind sustainability, innovation, and scaling a purpose-driven business. After leaving the fast-food world (yes, he once owned multiple Taco Bell and KFC locations), Tom found himself at a crossroads. With a passion for clean skincare and a desire to do something meaningful, he opened Renew Bath and Body in Buffalo, NY.

This week on Social Blend, George and Gracie close out the season with a literal bang (and a crunchwrap). Fueled by Taco Bell and margaritas, the duo powers through life updates—including the glamorous reality of both being sick. They dive into reality TV drama from Summer House, The Real Housewives of Miami, The Valley, and the very real chaos of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. Then it's time for a pop culture roundup: Rihanna's heartbreaking family news, FX's The Adults, Taylor Swift reportedly buying back her masters, and the wild rumor that Justin Bieber is broke—while Hailey Bieber cashes out big with Rhode Beauty's billion-dollar deal. It's unhinged. It's hilarious. It's heartfelt. It's the season finale. Pass the Fire Sauce.
His modus operandi is shocking: years before he strangled his victims, Henry Louis Wallace befriended them. By and large, they were his coworkers at Bojangles and Taco Bell.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! As a country, America has always had a complicated relationship with dairy. One month we hate it, the next month, some weird cottage cheese recipe goes viral, and we're all over it again. But here's something I thought was a little strange. You never hear about dairy farmers or the dairy industry going bankrupt. It made me wonder why. Turns out… the dairy industry is in bed with the government. Why? Because the government desperately needs them not to fail. And that's just the tip of the string cheese. We've been brainwashed into thinking we *need* dairy from the time we were kids. And there's a wild reason for that. It involves Marie Antoinette, cheese caves, and… Dominoes? Guys… this is a wild one. And I'm not going to lie… you might think twice before ordering your next Taco Bell burrito. Welcome to the Dark History of Big Dairy! I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out.
