By day, he lived a normal life under a new identity. By night, he ruled the roof.His story ended in a dramatic sting operation when he tried to rob the very store he had called home. Hidden bedding, stolen supplies, and a copy of Catch Me If You Can told investigators everything they needed to know.Follow True Crime Recaps for more unbelievable real-life stories that sound too wild to be fiction.
You'll often hear people refer to "the day after Thanksgiving" as the "official" start of the Christmas shopping season. However, it's increasingly more like the day after Halloween, as holiday promotions and sales are already underway by then. By Black Friday, many items are already checked off Christmas lists. With the holiday shopping season upon us, how will tariffs, inflation, and economic concerns impact Americans' gift shopping? Geraldo Storch, Founder and CEO of Storch Advisors and former CEO of Toys “R” Us, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to explain why retailers are starting the holiday season earlier each year and why he believes this will be a strong holiday shopping season despite some economic uncertainties.

Episode 428: Holiday Sales Strategy: Turning November & December Into Your Best Months Podcast Description November and December can be your most profitable months of the year—if you plan ahead and execute the right strategies. In this timely episode, Duane and Allie break down exactly how to maximize holiday revenue in your martial arts school. From retail bundles and program upgrades to paid-in-full incentives and holiday events, they share actionable strategies you can implement right now to boost your bottom line before the year ends. Whether you're uncomfortable with the idea of "selling" during the holidays or you've been doing holiday promotions for years, this episode will give you fresh ideas and a complete playbook to make November and December your best months ever. Duane and Allie cover: Why parents are already in spending mode (and how to make it easy for them to spend with you) The psychology behind holiday gift-giving and year-end purchases How to create irresistible retail bundles and gear packages Strategies for upgrading students to premium programs Structuring paid-in-full offers that convert Planning profitable holiday events Marketing your offers across multiple channels Common mistakes to avoid (and how to fix them) If you've never done holiday sales before, start with just one idea from this episode. If you're a veteran, you'll walk away with at least a few new strategies to add to your arsenal. The holidays are a gift to your business—don't let the opportunity pass you by. Key Takeaways 1. Parents Are Already Spending Money—Make It Easy for Them to Spend With You During the holiday season, parents are actively looking for meaningful gifts for their children. They're already in "spending mode," so your job isn't to convince them to spend money—it's to give them valuable options that align with what they already want. Allie's story: A mom once told him, "My kid is going to ask me to buy that Hulk figure somewhere. You're saving me the time of driving to Toys R Us. I'm happy you have it here." The lesson: Parents appreciate the convenience and value of purchasing from you. You're not being pushy—you're solving a problem and offering something that benefits their child's development. 2. Shift Your Mindset: Scarcity vs. Abundance Many school owners feel uncomfortable "selling" during the holidays, but this mindset leaves money on the table. Instead of thinking, "I don't want to bother my families," think, "How can I serve my families by offering them valuable options?" Key insight: Parents want to invest in their kids. They want discipline, confidence, focus, and character development. Martial arts training is one of the most meaningful gifts they can give. Action step: Set a revenue goal for November and December. Get your mind into an abundance mindset and commit to serving your families well during this season. 3. Retail & Apparel: Create Gift-Ready Displays and Bundles Retail sales can be a significant revenue stream during the holidays if you plan ahead and make it easy for parents to purchase. Holiday gift packages: Gear bundles (sparring gear, weapons, training equipment) Branded apparel (hoodies, t-shirts, hats) Uniforms (offer a second uniform at a discount) "Stocking stuffers" under $20 (belt keychains, books, patches, small training tools) Premium gift packages ($100-$300+) Gift-ready displays: Set up a Christmas tree in your lobby Wrap uniforms or gear packages in gift boxes with bows Label each box with size or item number Create a sign: "Give the Gift of Martial Arts This Holiday Season" Allie's tiered pricing strategy: Don't just sell one sparring gear package—offer four tiers (basic $99, standard $149, premium $199, elite $299). Surprisingly, 80% of parents will choose the higher-end option when you explain the benefits. 4.

The John Kobylt Show Hour 3 (10/23) - Tim Conway Jr. fills in for John. Caleb Lindsey, Director of Operations for R+L Carriers SoCal, highlighted the company's impressive new Bloomington Service Center, one of 13 California hubs. The state-of-the-art terminal features 325 dock doors and a 350% increase in door capacity over the previous location, plus a multi-bay maintenance shop—a major boost to the company's Southern California freight operations. Crime continues to surge in Arcadia, where a jewelry store heist saw burglars tunnel through a wall to loot valuables, followed by a home invasion where armed intruders tied up victims, stealing both jewelry and a car. In West Hollywood, a Rolex thief picked the wrong target—his victim turned out to be a professional fighter, who tackled and subdued him on the spot. The NBA gambling scandal deepened as U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr. condemned the alleged mob-linked insider betting ring involving Rozier and Jones, calling it “one of the most brazen sports corruption schemes since the legalization of online betting.” Officials say the operation manipulated confidential NBA player information to rig wagers and rake in millions. Angel checked in with Thursday's traffic hotspots, while national headlines included a massive egg recall—over 6 million eggs pulled due to Salmonella risk—and methane gas leak evacuations on the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach. Rounding out the hour, Toys “R” Us announced a nostalgic comeback with 30 new stores opening nationwide just in time for the holidays.
Gary and Shannon close out the show with a loaded hour: from the NBA gambling ring with mafia ties

It's a weird one this week. Lauren is here for a quick rundown of Roofman, but her technical difficulties cute her a hair short. Then Kevin and Andrew run with Tron: Ares, The Conjuring: Last Rites, Black Phone 2, and I Like Me. Lauren had a chance to get out to the theater this week and, despite needing to hop off the podcast early this week, gives us a pretty great rundown of the movie. It's based on a true story and stars Channing Tatum as an almost lovable criminal sho makes camp inside a Toys R Us while on the run from the police. As you'd expectm the film takes some liberties with true events, but it's very close to fact and Tatum gives what might be the performance of his career. It seems to deserve all of the praise it's been getting, so get out there and catch it if you can! After the internet deems Lauren's time done for the evening, the mic is passed to Andrew who reviews Tron: Ares. Here's the thing… it's really not as bad as it is being made out to be. Is it perfect? No. Is it better than Legacy? Probably? It's hard to say for sure, but it's certainly got more going for it than the recent press would suggest. That said, the biggest letdown is the lead, played by Jared Leto, which never helps a film succeed. That being said, if you enjoyed the first two Tron movies, you might really enjoy this one. Sticking with sequels that are less than stellar (though this time more in quality than just reviews), Kevin discusses The Conjuring: Last Rites. This film is a perfect example of what Roofman avoided. The longer this franchise has gone on, the further it's strayed from the facts. It even manages to paint the Warren's (played by Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson) as incredibly kind and giving, glossing over some truly terrible parts of their past. On top of that, the haunting used for this film is so vastly different from the original story, including a conjuring mirror (the actual name) that was not involved at all. This movie feels more like a cash grab than a sequel and is really only worth watching if you're looking to complete the film series. Andrew starts to right the ship with his review of Black Phone 2. This one is the best film of the 3 sequels reviewed so far and definitely keeps the ball rolling from the first film. We lean more into the supernatural with this one, but it ups the drama and really does a great job drawing you in. The performances are all solid and we are given a return of a great villain. Kevin's fears have all been assuaged and he is definitely excited to catch this when it streams. The guys close the show out on a light note, discussing the new documentary about John Candy, I Like Me. If you were not alive or under a rock, then maybe, somehow, you don't know who John Candy is. but for anyone else, this doc is essential viewing. It's a great telling of the life of a wonderful man, told by those who knew him the best. It's the story of struggle, success, love, and sadness. There isn't a ton that we can say that the doc can't say better, so if you have Prime, go watch this right away. As always, thank you for watching. If you haven't already, don't forget to Like & Subscribe. We love new viewers! Also, leave us comments and let is know how we are doing and what we can be doing better. Enjoy the episode and have a great week! Facebook: @apncpodcast Twitter: @APNCPodcast Instagram: AllPopNoCulture

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Derek Cianfrance, co-writer and director of the comedy crime thriller, Roofman, who returns to the podcast after a decade's absence. Based loosely on his life, it tells the story of spree-robber Jeffrey Manchester, who his out undetected in a Toys R Us having escaped prison.
Welcome to The Filmmakers Podcast! We are thrilled to host two phenomenal actors, Channing Tatum (Magic Mike, Foxcatcher) and Kirsten Dunst (Fargo, The Virgin Suicides), to discuss their new film, ROOFMAN (Directed by Derek Cianfrance). In this exclusive interview, Channing and Kirsten open up to Dom Lenoir about: The Cianfrance Method: Working with visionary director Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine, The Place Beyond the Pines) and his unique approach to intimacy—including keeping them apart until their first scene, filmed at a Red Lobster. Star Nerves & Chemistry: Channing Tatum confesses why he was "so intimidated" to work with the Oscar-nominated Kirsten Dunst, and Kirsten shares her sweet reaction, calling him "magic to work with." The Body of a Dancer, The Face of a Boxer: Channing Tatum details the intense physicality required to play Jeffrey Manchester, squeezing into tight spaces and the emotional challenge of embodying the former Army Ranger. From Set to Screen: How the bizarre, stranger-than-fiction true crime story was handled with "grace" by the director to explore themes of redemption and human connection.

A major Amazon Web Services outage disrupted numerous websites - including major airlines, retailers, and social media platforms. The fast-food tech revolution keeps heating up, and we'll look at what's behind the revival of Toys R Us.
Freda Cooper talks to director Derek Cianfrance about his new film Roofman, in cinemas now. Based on an unbelievable true story, Roofman follows Jeffrey Manchester (Channing Tatum), a former Army Ranger and struggling father who turns to robbing McDonald's restaurants by cutting holes in their roofs, earning him the nickname: Roofman. After escaping prison, he secretly lives inside a Toys “R” Us for six months, surviving undetected while planning his next move. But when he falls for Leigh (Kirsten Dunst), a divorced mom drawn to his undeniable charm, his double life begins to unravel, setting off a compelling and suspenseful game of cat and mouse as his past closes in.

In the new movie Roofman, Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst ooze with their signature charm and chemistry. Tatum plays an exceptionally savvy military veteran who robs fast food joints by entering through the rooftops. Eventually he gets caught and sent to prison, but he's able to escape and hides out in a Toys “R” Us for several months undetected. Obviously, he can only survive on M&Ms and keep up the ruse for so long before the roof comes crashing down on him.

The Weekly News RundownThe episode opens with a fast-moving retail update. New DataWeave analytics reveal that Nike has raised prices significantly — by 17 percent for footwear and 14 percent for apparel — as tariff cost mounts, potentially disrupting their turnaround plans. Steve and Michael then examine the continuing U.S. government shutdown and its potential economic ripple effects. Despite flagging consumer confidence, September retail sales surged 5.4% year-over-year, led by sporting goods and apparel, while big-ticket categories such as furniture and home improvement stalled. They turn next to Adobe's holiday sales forecast, calling for 5.3 percent online growth — the slowest in years. AI-driven shopping, meanwhile, is expected to grow fivefold, underscoring how rapidly technology can reshape consumer behaviour.The Interview — Scot Wingo on Agentic CommerceReturning guest Scot Wingo brings a veteran entrepreneur's perspective on the next leap in retail innovation. Leveraging his ChannelAdvisor roots to his latest venture, ReFiBuy.ai, Wingo describes how AI agents are poised to reshape the shopping journey — from research, to finding, and buying — through "agentic commerce." He details how ChatGPT's new checkout feature effectively turns it into a merchant-friendly marketplace and why this could challenge Google and Amazon's ad-tax models. Wingo explains how Google is evolving from a search engine to an "answer engine," already costing retailers organic traffic, and outlines the steps brands must take to prepare their catalogues for AI-driven visibility. He also explores how personal-shopping agents and vertical AI start-ups in fashion and re-commerce are creating hyper-custom experiences, while warning retailers not to block "good bots" in their fear of AI scraping.Stories That Spread and A Peek Around the CornerIn their closing segment, Steve and Michael discuss some recent remarkable stories including the revival of brands like Bed Bath & Beyond, Toys "R" Us, and Forever 21, as well as Lululemon founder Chip Wilson's latest shot at his former company.

We're continuing to blaze a trail through the many, many movies opening on October 10 here at Breakfast All Day. Earlier this week, we reviewed TRON: ARES, A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE and KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN. Today, we discussed: ROOFMAN: Channing Tatum is ridiculously charming as a robber who escapes from prison and hides inside a Toys "R" Us store for six months. This actually happened.

Warning, the images in this story are disturbing. Soybeans are the United States' largest agricultural export.
