in a coal mine of soot and ashdeeply nestled inside your lungs
(01:32):
, your eyes, your nose and allother appendages, and you're
wandering through an abandonedmineshaft with the little
headlamp thing and the little uhother thing, the pickaxe in
your suit, your little suit, andyou're wandering, you're
(01:52):
wandering through the coal mine.
And then the second track is aray of sunshine.
It's a fresh ray of sunshinewhen you emerge from the coal
mine and that that's.

It's viewers like you that makesure that I'm probably going to

viable, because nobody Is Is Issubscribed, or whatever you call

Nobody is on Patreon.

be nice If y'all checked out myPatreon and I'm not.
I'm not begging, I'm only on.

I'm only on two knees on thefloor with my hands collapsed
together and I'm just asking youplease, at least, just, at

algorithm going or something.
And yeah, this episode is likelike most episodes not much is
(03:57):
going on in the world of today's, oh, oh.
The world of today's, oh, oh,yeah, there's.
There's one other thing Iforgot to mention.
It's this.
It's this littleInconsequential piece Of the
(04:18):
show.
It will not Affect Anything.
You're still going to get thesame goofy, woofy show you've
always wanted and you know youwanted.
Let me take a.
(04:38):
It's not big news, but I kindof need a drum roll.
So I'm going to take a drink ofthis energy drink.
I won't say the brand becauseI'm not paid to say the brand.
We sold the show.
(05:04):
We sold the show to the highestbidder.
This show has been sold toRussia.
We sold the show to Russia.
This is a Russian show.
(05:29):
Now Not much is gonna change,okay, but we just can't.
No Criticizing Vladimir Putin,that's, or the entirety of
Russia.
It's just off limits.
You know, it's like you can'ttalk shit about your boss, not
(05:55):
at work, but if you get home,when the show stops rolling,
when the tape oh shit, did I dosomething?
When the tape stops rolling,who knows what I say about
Russia?
I don't know, and I hope theydon't know, because that's I'm
(06:24):
done, I'm finished at that pointreally.
But yeah, it's just, it's aminor change.
We've just been bought out bythe highest bidder that happened
to be the Russian government.
It's really no big deal.
I mean, not much is going tochange, almost nothing is going
(06:51):
to change, except for we justcan't.
I just can't say anythingnegatively about, you know, the
Russian government.
Listen, I could, the peoplethere.
That's on limits.
I mean I can say almostanything, no matter how much it
(07:19):
hurts or how much it might beconsidered slander.
I can say anything about thepeople, but just the government,
mr Putin, it's off limits.
It's you know, it's your boss.
You can't talk bad about yourboss Unless you're really that
(07:42):
tight, and I'm.
I'm not that tight, alright,right, this is a new thing.
Some people are that tight.
Some people you know are supertight with with the big uh guy
(08:04):
that we all respect here at atum the delirium.
We do, we respect.
I don't know any russian wordsand I probably never will,
because I, I don, because Idon't get that drunk.
(08:25):
Okay, I don't get that drunk tospeak fluent Russian, but that
was kind of a hack job there.
But I just want everybody toknow that we've been bought out.
(08:46):
Okay, it's a necessary evil.
If you want to grow, if youwant to take that next step,
you've got to just, you know,sell the company to the.
(09:08):
You know those guys because youknow they don't influence
anything else except for thisshow.
They don't.
I mean they don't, it's justthis show is the only thing that
(09:30):
they influence.
And you could be influencingwhat kind of drinks I'm drinking
, because I'm drinking an energydrink, but I won't tell you
what kind of energy drinkbecause I wasn't paid not to be
that superficial about it.
But I mean you got to pay thebills.
(09:51):
I mean the.
You know, rootin Putin isn't.
He's not, he's not made of gold.
I mean his.
You know his palace might bemade of gold, but but he's not
made of gold.
And even though he bought meout, it's on an installment plan
(10:12):
sort of thing, like fourpayments of 29 ruples, I don't
know what currency.
It's all converted on the wayover.
They put, they put the, the, Idon't know the bismarcks in an
(10:37):
envelope and they put thedollars In the envelope and it
gets swapped In the mail somehow.
And I don't ask questions.
I just, I just pledged myallegiance to uh yeah, daddy
Vlad, dad, daddy Vladdy, what abeautiful August morning to be
(11:14):
not influenced by foreignnations.
Everything I say is not.
You know, there's no motive.
I'm your unbiased supporter of,of, uh, humanity and democracy
(11:38):
and other things, and you knowit's all relatively related.
I have a story, I think.
Let me think One time I touchedan electric fence and it didn't
(12:10):
hurt that much.
Let me think of another story.
Let me think of another story.
Let me think of another story.
Let me think of another story.
Let me think of another story.
Let me think of another story.
Let me think of another story.
(12:34):
Um, I miss, I miss the 2000s andI miss.
What I miss the most is Wendy'sin the 2000s.
I don't know why I missed thatthe most, but I do.
It's like the thing I missed.
(12:54):
I mean, what the heck?
I have a pop filter on butthere's still plosives.
Alright, alright, enough enoughwith the Roblox thing.
It's, it's, it's becoming thenew thing and I and I don't, and
(13:21):
it's like just turn it off,just turn it off, just turn it
off, just turn it off.
It's, it was, it's never.
The game has never beenadvertised as a.
(13:43):
Maybe it has been advertised asa game for children, but it's
been a long.
It's been around as long asI've not as long as I've been
around, but I've even believethis or not.
In my day.
I played Cops and Robbers onRoblox a handful of times and
(14:09):
even back then, at maybe 11years old or 12 years old, I was
very aware of the kinds ofpeople that were on Roblox.
It was very obvious.
You would have to be on it forless than 10 seconds to
(14:32):
understand.
It is just this weird cesspoolof weird people.
It doesn't take much to realizethe kinds of things that go on
on that application.
It's really obvious.
But I digress.
(14:53):
I know some people's parentsjust let them do whatever they
want and then they get mad.
The parents get mad whensomething bad happens.
They say why would you do thisto a child when I let my child
(15:14):
have free reigns over everyaspect of their life and my life
?
They decided, decided where wewent to dinner last night, they
decided what car I leased, theydecided what I wore today.
But it's your fault that youcan't control yourself.
(15:35):
It has nothing to do with me.
I have no responsibility.
I played no part in this.
None of this is my fault, noneof this.
It's not my child's faulteither for being a dumbass, a
(15:59):
dumbass little shithead, child,child.
I don't like when people saychild, it's demeaning to the
children, or, uh, I have no, Iwas trying to think of a pun, um
(16:25):
, uh, a Roblox offender, anyway.
So if you're one of thesepeople and you listen to the
show, uh, uh, if you Give it afive star review, uh, that would
(16:52):
still help.
I mean, anyone who gives thisshow a five star review, I don't
know.
It'd be hard for me to be madat you.
I'm not saying I support whatyou do, but it would help.
I think if you gave this show afive-star review, it would help
cushion the blow.
(17:12):
You would still be a piece ofshit, but it would cushion the
blow a little bit.
Okay, I think almost anyonethat is anyone and everyone can
agree with that.
Okay, I mean, the places thisshow will go.
(17:33):
The places this show will goare listen, I haven't even
cracked the iceberg of thingsthat I could say into this
microphone, but I want theviewership to be up before I
drop some friggin bombs not likemetaphorical bombs, not literal
bombs on the uh, yeah, on onthe viewer.
(17:58):
And I really deeply hope thatanybody that I know in real life
does not listen to this show.
I hope you don't listen to thisshow, but if you do, then I'll
see it through.
Yeah, I'll see it through.
You can.
Maybe, even if you're cool, youcan be on the show.
(18:20):
If you're not cool, you can'tbe on the show.
And if you're I don't know, Iguess, if you're not cool but
you're like some kind ofscientist or expert, I might
allow it and I might, like,underhandedly, make fun of you.
I don't know what underhandedlymeans, I guess, but I just said
(18:44):
it and I'll say it again andI'll say it a time or two more
and I'll yeah, yeah, listen.
I've been so set on I want aSwitch 2, but I've been doing
(19:07):
more research and I want aDonkey Kong Bonanza.
But I've been doing moreresearch and I think I've come
to the conclusion that I don'twant I at least I don't want
Donkey Kong Bonanza because itlooks really stupid.
(19:28):
It's like the beginning of it,like the trailer and stuff makes
it look like really good, butthen like there's all this
stupid gameplay stuff.
There's all this stupidgameplay stuff, like you turn
into a snake and like a freakingbird thing, and it just does
not look like the kind of thingthat I would want to play at all
(19:50):
.
It looks really boring.
I already thought Mario Odysseywas not my favorite game, but
I've actually come around it.
I would play it again.
But the Switch 2, oh my gosh.
I mean I really want thegraphical upgrades.
This is a music show, by the way.
We will talk about music later.
I honestly haven't beenlistening to much music lately.
(20:10):
I don't know why.
I just really am having troublegetting back in the saddle.
I mean it's just like Primus.
I just only listen to Primusnow, I don't know why, because
it's the best thing ever,probably.
But anyway, back to Switch 2talk.
(20:31):
I wanted the Switch 2, but nowand now I'm really like I'm
hearing this thing like it haslike a blurry screen.
I don't get that.
How can it have a blurry screenwhen it's 500?
How can it not do my freakinglaundry for me if it's 500?
(20:52):
It has a blurry screen.
It's not an OLED screen, it isa bigger screen.
I mean, I'm having troubletalking myself out of it and I
still might get it, but it justuh, and some of the games don't
like, don't even have thegraphical upgrades and I don't
know, I don't know who's whosefault that is, if it's like the,
(21:14):
the game developers fault, orif it's like Nintendo's fault.
I feel like you can just likeand I know nothing.
I know absolutely nothing aboutgame development.
Fall, I feel like you can justlike and I know nothing.
I know absolutely nothing aboutgame development.
But I feel like there shouldjust be like unlock the frame
rate or like unlock theresolution to like 1080p or even
(21:34):
920p or something like, justjust without any type of you you
know, texture update oranything, I don't know.
It doesn't really make sense tome.
But a lot of things don't makesense to me these days.
With what, uh, with?
(21:55):
You know everything that'sgoing on, everything that's
going on, all the things thatare going on.
You know your life isn't thesame boring-ass shit it's always
been.
It's everything that's going on, this whirlwind of things that

I don't know what else let's,you know, let me burn up.
I have six minutes, okay, let'ssee what else is going on in
(24:02):
what there are Something.
Okay, this is breaking news.
Panera Bread is making changesto how it bakes its goods, guys,
okay, okay, thisadministration's went too far.
(24:25):
Panera is making changes to howit's baking its goods.
Oh no, the company is movingaway from baking everything from
scratch in its cafe use parbaked process, ie partial baking
(24:47):
.
This is going too far, guys.
This means some of the freshdough facilities across the
country will close.
Oh no, will affect employees inhow Panera makes its items.
(25:07):
Shutdown, missouri, september12th 72 people losing their jobs
.
12th 72 people losing theirjobs.
72 hardworking Americans thatgerminate bread are losing their
jobs.
(25:27):
And we're just indoors watchingNetflix on our comfy sofa on
our large television.
People are losing their jobs.
People are losing their jobs.
The good folks at Panera arelosing their jobs to partial
baked breads.
Are we in?
(25:50):
I don't know, I might have togo make a sign and stand on the
corner for multiple hours infront of local governments'
offices.
And they're makingvegan-friendly options.
Okay, alright, we're going toget the poster board after this.
(26:12):
We're going to get the posterboard after this.
I don't usually Almost never,actually never have I protested
it, but this is the final strawPanera.
This means war Panera.
You laid off 72 people.
(26:34):
Partially baked bread, veganoptions that was the final straw
.
Okay, bread should be made outof meat Panera, like it's always
been made.
Let's go back to thetraditional ways of churning
(26:57):
butter and making bread the oldfashioned way, not this vegan
tofu way that nobody's going toeven eat.
The rest of your menu is salads.
It's already vegan.
There's already vegan options.
Why do you need a vegan bread?
It doesn't even make sense.
(27:19):
It doesn't even make sense.
I'm just having trouble withthis one Vegan bread.
Let me go back to there'sprobably more to this article.
I'm fired up, oh, I'm fired up.
Oh, panera announces thatworkers impacted by closures
(27:42):
will get severance pay and helpfinding new jobs.
Well, oh, all, right, okay,access to job fairs.
Well, you can come be an internfor this if you want.
You can even make me breath.
(28:03):
The new par-baked model works byhaving third-party contractors
okay, outsourcing preparepartially baked dough, then
freeze it and send it to cafes.
This method lets cafes bakefresh goods throughout the day
instead of only baking them inthe morning.
(28:25):
Benefits of partially bakedmodel Panera's prior baked model
allows the company to openstores in places that were hard
to reach those hard to reachplaces Before, because fresh
dough could not be deliveredthere.
(28:46):
It also helps make sure thatbaked goods are available for
customers all day long, day long.
Fresh dough facilities used tobe run by bakers who made fresh
bread, bagels and rolled doughevery day.
These facilities workedseparately from the cafes.
(29:08):
They supplied and managed theirown profits and losses.
Closure due to poor performance.
Sources say that Paneralocations in Denver, seattle and
Arizona were closed becausethey weren't doing well.
Panera representatives did notexplain how they decided if a
(29:31):
location was performing well ornot.
If a location was performingwell or not, speculation about
future closures Some Paneraworkers on Reddit Reddit, me and
Reddit are in an even biggerwar.
I backed off Panera Peacetreaty Because they're providing
(29:54):
job fairs, but me and Reddit,no, we do not hang bro.
We do not hang Workers onReddit.
Think.
Other fresh dough facilities,like the ones in Stockton,
california and Atlanta, will beclosing next.
However, panera has notconformed to these claims will
(30:16):
be closing next.
However, panera has notconformed to these claims.
Panera is planning to close allthe fresh dough facilities over
the next two years.
However, in some areas,employees have been told the
switch to frozen dough mighttake up four years.
Well, that's an interestingtimeline, hmm, yeah, well,
that's an interesting timeline,hmm, yeah.
(30:37):
Panera has promised thatworkers from closed-off
facilities will get new jobs intheir cafes as baker associates.
The company says pay, full-timehours and benefits should stay
the same.
Don't worry, you're not goingto get paid off and be able to
retire.
You're going to be at thecounter.
Criticism of change Some workersand customers are worried that
(30:59):
switching to par-baked goodsmight take Panera away from its
tradition of offering freshlybaked items, which has been an
important part of its brand.
Yeah, the brand.
Panera says that was my, that'smy beard hair.
Panera says that was my, that'smy beard hair.
Panera says it's strong.
(31:23):
Panera says saw a 2.6 increasein sales and it's 2.2 rise in
locations last year, accordingto data from Techonomic.
The company thinks its PARbaked model will help it grow,
even in the future.
Future of Panera's bakeryoperations.
(31:47):
Panera has not providedofficial comments about closing
fresh dough facilities,switching to power bank systems.
However, the company is workingon changing its operation to
keep up with its business needs.

He's not, he's not made of gold.
I mean his.
You know his palace might bemade of gold, but but he's not
made of gold.
And even though he bought meout, it's on an installment plan
(10:12):
sort of thing, like fourpayments of 29 ruples, I don't
know what currency.
It's all converted on the wayover.
They put, they put the, the, Idon't know the bismarcks in an
(10:37):
envelope and they put thedollars In the envelope and it
gets swapped In the mail somehow.
And I don't ask questions.
I just, I just pledged myallegiance to uh yeah, daddy
Vlad, dad, daddy Vladdy, what abeautiful August morning to be
(11:14):
not influenced by foreignnations.
Everything I say is not.
You know, there's no motive.
I'm your unbiased supporter of,of, uh, humanity and democracy
(11:38):
and other things, and you knowit's all relatively related.
I have a story, I think.
Let me think One time I touchedan electric fence and it didn't
(12:10):
hurt that much.
Let me think of another story.
Let me think of another story.
Let me think of another story.
Let me think of another story.
Let me think of another story.
Let me think of another story.
Let me think of another story.
(12:34):
Um, I miss, I miss the 2000s andI miss.
What I miss the most is Wendy'sin the 2000s.
I don't know why I missed thatthe most, but I do.
It's like the thing I missed.
(12:54):
I mean, what the heck?
I have a pop filter on butthere's still plosives.
Alright, alright, enough enoughwith the Roblox thing.
It's, it's, it's becoming thenew thing and I and I don't, and
(13:21):
it's like just turn it off,just turn it off, just turn it
off, just turn it off.
It's, it was, it's never.
The game has never beenadvertised as a.
(13:43):
Maybe it has been advertised asa game for children, but it's
been a long.
It's been around as long asI've not as long as I've been
around, but I've even believethis or not.
In my day.
I played Cops and Robbers onRoblox a handful of times and
(14:09):
even back then, at maybe 11years old or 12 years old, I was
very aware of the kinds ofpeople that were on Roblox.
It was very obvious.
You would have to be on it forless than 10 seconds to
(14:32):
understand.
It is just this weird cesspoolof weird people.
It doesn't take much to realizethe kinds of things that go on
on that application.
It's really obvious.
But I digress.
(14:53):
I know some people's parentsjust let them do whatever they
want and then they get mad.
The parents get mad whensomething bad happens.
They say why would you do thisto a child when I let my child
(15:14):
have free reigns over everyaspect of their life and my life
?
They decided, decided where wewent to dinner last night, they
decided what car I leased, theydecided what I wore today.
But it's your fault that youcan't control yourself.
(15:35):
It has nothing to do with me.
I have no responsibility.
I played no part in this.
None of this is my fault, noneof this.
It's not my child's faulteither for being a dumbass, a
(15:59):
dumbass little shithead, child,child.
I don't like when people saychild, it's demeaning to the
children, or, uh, I have no, Iwas trying to think of a pun, um
(16:25):
, uh, a Roblox offender, anyway.
So if you're one of thesepeople and you listen to the
show, uh, uh, if you Give it afive star review, uh, that would
(16:52):
still help.
I mean, anyone who gives thisshow a five star review, I don't
know.
It'd be hard for me to be madat you.
I'm not saying I support whatyou do, but it would help.
I think if you gave this show afive-star review, it would help
cushion the blow.
(17:12):
You would still be a piece ofshit, but it would cushion the
blow a little bit.
Okay, I think almost anyonethat is anyone and everyone can
agree with that.
Okay, I mean, the places thisshow will go.
(17:33):
The places this show will goare listen, I haven't even
cracked the iceberg of thingsthat I could say into this
microphone, but I want theviewership to be up before I
drop some friggin bombs not likemetaphorical bombs, not literal
bombs on the uh, yeah, on onthe viewer.
(17:58):
And I really deeply hope thatanybody that I know in real life
does not listen to this show.
I hope you don't listen to thisshow, but if you do, then I'll
see it through.
Yeah, I'll see it through.
You can.
Maybe, even if you're cool, youcan be on the show.
(18:20):
If you're not cool, you can'tbe on the show.
And if you're I don't know, Iguess, if you're not cool but
you're like some kind ofscientist or expert, I might
allow it and I might, like,underhandedly, make fun of you.
I don't know what underhandedlymeans, I guess, but I just said
(18:44):
it and I'll say it again andI'll say it a time or two more
and I'll yeah, yeah, listen.
I've been so set on I want aSwitch 2, but I've been doing
(19:07):
more research and I want aDonkey Kong Bonanza.
But I've been doing moreresearch and I think I've come
to the conclusion that I don'twant I at least I don't want
Donkey Kong Bonanza because itlooks really stupid.
(19:28):
It's like the beginning of it,like the trailer and stuff makes
it look like really good, butthen like there's all this
stupid gameplay stuff.
There's all this stupidgameplay stuff, like you turn
into a snake and like a freakingbird thing, and it just does
not look like the kind of thingthat I would want to play at all
(19:50):
.
It looks really boring.
I already thought Mario Odysseywas not my favorite game, but
I've actually come around it.
I would play it again.
But the Switch 2, oh my gosh.
I mean I really want thegraphical upgrades.
This is a music show, by the way.
We will talk about music later.
I honestly haven't beenlistening to much music lately.
(20:10):
I don't know why.
I just really am having troublegetting back in the saddle.
I mean it's just like Primus.
I just only listen to Primusnow, I don't know why, because
it's the best thing ever,probably.
But anyway, back to Switch 2talk.
(20:31):
I wanted the Switch 2, but nowand now I'm really like I'm
hearing this thing like it haslike a blurry screen.
I don't get that.
How can it have a blurry screenwhen it's 500?
How can it not do my freakinglaundry for me if it's 500?
(20:52):
It has a blurry screen.
It's not an OLED screen, it isa bigger screen.
I mean, I'm having troubletalking myself out of it and I
still might get it, but it justuh, and some of the games don't
like, don't even have thegraphical upgrades and I don't
know, I don't know who's whosefault that is, if it's like the,
(21:14):
the game developers fault, orif it's like Nintendo's fault.
I feel like you can just likeand I know nothing.
I know absolutely nothing aboutgame development.
Fall, I feel like you can justlike and I know nothing.
I know absolutely nothing aboutgame development.
But I feel like there shouldjust be like unlock the frame
rate or like unlock theresolution to like 1080p or even
(21:34):
920p or something like, justjust without any type of you you
know, texture update oranything, I don't know.
It doesn't really make sense tome.
But a lot of things don't makesense to me these days.
With what, uh, with?
(21:55):
You know everything that'sgoing on, everything that's
going on, all the things thatare going on.

Okay, this is breaking news.
Panera Bread is making changesto how it bakes its goods, guys,
okay, okay, thisadministration's went too far.
(24:25):
Panera is making changes to howit's baking its goods.
Oh no, the company is movingaway from baking everything from
scratch in its cafe use parbaked process, ie partial baking
(24:47):
.
This is going too far, guys.
This means some of the freshdough facilities across the
country will close.
Oh no, will affect employees inhow Panera makes its items.
(25:07):
Shutdown, missouri, september12th 72 people losing their jobs
.
12th 72 people losing theirjobs.
72 hardworking Americans thatgerminate bread are losing their
jobs.
(25:27):
And we're just indoors watchingNetflix on our comfy sofa on
our large television.
People are losing their jobs.
People are losing their jobs.
The good folks at Panera arelosing their jobs to partial
baked breads.
Are we in?
(25:50):
I don't know, I might have togo make a sign and stand on the
corner for multiple hours infront of local governments'
offices.
And they're makingvegan-friendly options.
Okay, alright, we're going toget the poster board after this.
(26:12):
We're going to get the posterboard after this.
I don't usually Almost never,actually never have I protested
it, but this is the final strawPanera.
This means war Panera.
You laid off 72 people.
(26:34):
Partially baked bread, veganoptions that was the final straw
.
Okay, bread should be made outof meat Panera, like it's always
been made.
Let's go back to thetraditional ways of churning
(26:57):
butter and making bread the oldfashioned way, not this vegan
tofu way that nobody's going toeven eat.
The rest of your menu is salads.
It's already vegan.
There's already vegan options.
Why do you need a vegan bread?
It doesn't even make sense.
(27:19):
It doesn't even make sense.
I'm just having trouble withthis one Vegan bread.
Let me go back to there'sprobably more to this article.
I'm fired up, oh, I'm fired up.
Oh, panera announces thatworkers impacted by closures
(27:42):
will get severance pay and helpfinding new jobs.
Well, oh, all, right, okay,access to job fairs.
Well, you can come be an internfor this if you want.
You can even make me breath.
(28:03):
The new par-baked model works byhaving third-party contractors
okay, outsourcing preparepartially baked dough, then
freeze it and send it to cafes.
This method lets cafes bakefresh goods throughout the day
instead of only baking them inthe morning.
(28:25):
Benefits of partially bakedmodel Panera's prior baked model
allows the company to openstores in places that were hard
to reach those hard to reachplaces Before, because fresh
dough could not be deliveredthere.
(28:46):
It also helps make sure thatbaked goods are available for
customers all day long, day long.
Fresh dough facilities used tobe run by bakers who made fresh
bread, bagels and rolled doughevery day.
These facilities workedseparately from the cafes.
(29:08):
They supplied and managed theirown profits and losses.
Closure due to poor performance.
Sources say that Paneralocations in Denver, seattle and
Arizona were closed becausethey weren't doing well.
Panera representatives did notexplain how they decided if a
(29:31):
location was performing well ornot.
If a location was performingwell or not, speculation about
future closures Some Paneraworkers on Reddit Reddit, me and
Reddit are in an even biggerwar.
I backed off Panera Peacetreaty Because they're providing
(29:54):
job fairs, but me and Reddit,no, we do not hang bro.
We do not hang Workers onReddit.
Think.
Other fresh dough facilities,like the ones in Stockton,
california and Atlanta, will beclosing next.
However, panera has notconformed to these claims will
(30:16):
be closing next.
However, panera has notconformed to these claims.
Panera is planning to close allthe fresh dough facilities over
the next two years.
However, in some areas,employees have been told the
switch to frozen dough mighttake up four years.
Well, that's an interestingtimeline, hmm, yeah, well,
that's an interesting timeline,hmm, yeah.
(30:37):
Panera has promised thatworkers from closed-off
facilities will get new jobs intheir cafes as baker associates.
The company says pay, full-timehours and benefits should stay
the same.
Don't worry, you're not goingto get paid off and be able to
retire.
You're going to be at thecounter.
Criticism of change Some workersand customers are worried that
(30:59):
switching to par-baked goodsmight take Panera away from its
tradition of offering freshlybaked items, which has been an
important part of its brand.
Yeah, the brand.
Panera says that was my, that'smy beard hair.
Panera says that was my, that'smy beard hair.
Panera says it's strong.
(31:23):
Panera says saw a 2.6 increasein sales and it's 2.2 rise in
locations last year, accordingto data from Techonomic.

even in the future.
Future of Panera's bakeryoperations.
