Speaker 1 (00:00):
You a fan of the Cracker Barrel.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
I was not so much lately.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
Well, is it something they did or you just just
I don't know, kind of fell off the warmth and
the I don't it just it felt like going to
Grandma's house, especially at the holidays, and last couple of
the last couple of trips haven't.

Speaker 4 (00:19):
Oh, it just doesn't have the I don't know what
it is. Maybe it's me, maybe I'm just getting older,
but it didn't feel the same anymore.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
The people there did they make do you do you
like or had you even thought about it?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
You might not even I really haven't dissected.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
I just knew when you know, I usually left with
a nice warm feeling and you have to stop at
the gift shop and buy stuff and you.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Walk through it. They're just stopping. I mean, yeah, exposed.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
My last couple of times, I just wasn't. I wasn't
inclined to do that anymore. Just didn't feel the same.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, the grandsons with you when you and I mean
they my kids love that when we're in there. They
because of all the there's a million trinkets and all
the different things. And I also like that they get
exposed my my kids get exposed to like the old candy, yeah,

(01:11):
just different stuff because like Stone will be like, oh
what is this. I'm like, buddy, that's the old you know.
I don't know if that escapes me old rock candy
or yea, you know anything. Yeah, and especially again at
the holidays, Christmas time, and so there I loved I'm
just I'm an old soul.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
I'm with you.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
No, I'm with you.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
I don't understand why there's something like me TV or
my TV or one of these old TV shows during
Christmas time. I'd love it if they ran Bing Crosby
and Perry Como and all the crap we grew up watching,
and Jenny Carpenter's Christmas and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Jenny watches the hell out of mea TV. I mean,
it's I'll turn it on and I'm like, oh, she
was watching it again. She watches it so much.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Man, I do too.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
And she was born in nineteen eighty so, but she's
an old soul too, you know. With regard to those
kinds of kind of that that type thing. Well, there
are some customers, customers that are not happy about the
changes that are happening with Cracker Barrel.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
We were just.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
There a week and a half ago. We go, we
go fairly regularly, actually, but some of the people are
talking about I'm going to stop going. Have you seen
this story?

Speaker 2 (02:29):
I have not.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
This is like, I mean, like in there, you're really
gonna possibly stop going because of this. But they're remodeling
the restaurants, and forty of its six hundred plus locations
have been subjected to not so well received makeovers. Once
rustic with farmhouse paraphernalia durning the walls, Cracker Barrel restaurants
walls are now a shocking white with modern minimalistic design

(02:55):
elements that apparently just don't pass the vibe check. So
kind of to your point if they go all white
with the walls in there. Yeah, first thing I thought
of in my mind is I was reading this and
it was before the comment towards the end was bob Evans.
That's what my might because I like the way those
are decorated now, the Bob Evans stores restaurants. I'm not

(03:19):
real happy about the pricing there, but I will say
their food is typically really really good, but you're always
paying for it like more than you probably should be.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
Anyway, but a year at least, I think since I've
had anything to eat into Bob Evans.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Man, that sausage gravy, I just I need an IV
just took me up. Just put it, just put it
intraveniously right into me. Man, I can't. I'm just like, oh,
oh my, gonna stop eating this. When I take a
bite of it, I'm just like, oh, there's got to
be cracking this. There's crack. There has to be crack.
And the sausage gravy from Bob Evans. You put that

(03:57):
over a hot buttermilk. A man, they've gone it. You
get excited. Yeah, that's kind of nicey anyway. So yeah,
there are people that are pissed off. I don't know
what what why do these people? Why do they do this? Oh,
let's do something shocking. Change the whole inside to white

(04:19):
doesn't make any sense. It's already called cracker barrel. Do
you need to do that too? They were like, well,
we are cracker barrel, we need to change everything to
white inside. Sorry. On One person was like, when you
fix something that's not broken, that's just ridiculous. I'm gonna

(04:40):
stop going. So people are like it not about it
not all about it, man, I don't think they've done
it or and maybe they'll stop and they'll just leave
the ones they've because they haven't done all of them yet.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
I just hope that they We only have what two
here in central Ohio, right Grove City and Hilliard.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Uh, and then yeah, the one we go to it
was typically seventy one and thirty six up there in
the Delaware area, you know, way north by the what
is that called the outlets?

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, the Little More. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah, finally went did that last year. It took me forever.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
I enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Man, there's some great I went that north Face. That's
a really good. That's a that's a good place.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
You got good during the week.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah, in the morning, Oh nobody, there's nobody there.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
It was, Oh, that's beautiful, beautiful. Squid Game three. We've
talked about Squid Game before. I know it's not your
cup of tea. It was mine at first, and it
lost me the second whatever, Squid Game two whatever, it
lost me. But I'm in the minority here because it

(05:47):
set a huge Netflix record and season three breaking records,
pulling in sixty point one million views on its first
three days. So you wonder that's be mostly accurate, wouldn't
you think. I mean, there'll be people maybe who fire
it up again after they watch. That may distort that

(06:08):
a little bit, but not to the point where I
mean that's legit. Sixty point one million views, you know,
because they can they can accurately track that, you know, clearly,
and that number is enormous. Obviously, it's earned a spot
as the ninth most watched non English TV show ever

(06:28):
on Netflix. Season two opened with sixty eight million views,
to kind of give you a little bit of a comparison,
and that was over four days. And yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
It's not English. I didn't know that either.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Well, no, it's English, but it's recorded, it's I don't
know how much do you know anything about it, Zach.
I know that it's you know, it's a the DNA
is Asian. It's all been designed, and I'm not sure
exactly it's Korean or Korean. Yeah, okay, and so but

(07:11):
the people it's English when they're speaking, but yeah, it's
but it's of origin. It's Korean.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Oct it's dubbed over right.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Yeah, so that's what.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
They mean when they say, you know, I missed those
two of the old Kung fu karate movies.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
You were going to break that up?

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Come on, I'm ready to fight. Let's go now. Yeah,
those were cool.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
That's so great.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
Everybody who can't envision that in their head and listening
to the what why is that funny?

Speaker 2 (07:46):
I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well, it's tough because that is a visual. Yeah, this
whole you have thoughts on the coburger thing that's happening.
I know, I told you before. I'm like, man, I
am worn out with this. I don't I don't mean it.
Let me say this real quick. I don't mean to
sound because as a parent, I can't begin to imagine

(08:08):
what these parents have gone through. What a terrible, horrible
dark part of your life. That And they say parents
who lose children, you never ever get over it ever,
which I can totally see. If you love your children,
how could you, especially when you don't know exactly particulars,

(08:30):
You have all these things haunting you where you don't
know how they left this earth. All you know is
it was violent. It was in a violent manner. And
so for these parents, I'm really sad, but I think
they were looking to possibly get this guy the death penalty,
which is why they're pissed off that he was given

(08:50):
this plea deal and then isn't it weird? Though? Do
you hear people that see people die from the death
penalty and they go, Man, I feel a lot better.
I guess they're out there, but there are some people
that are like, I still don't feel any It's empty,
you know for me, because yeah, that person's gone, but

(09:12):
I'm still here. I don't know how I would feel
in that situation, but I do know that these parents
are upset and they were told that they were going
to be part of this process and they have been
circumvented here. So I don't know if you have any
thoughts on that.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
Yeah, well, I mean we've watched judges who think they
can control everything from whether it's going to reign or
not to what the President of the United States does.
Why this judge accepted a plea, allowed a plea is
beyond me. When you know he wants a plea, you
know he's guilty. You know you're going to prove this
guilt in court, and it should have gone to court
and he should have been sentenced to death. And in

(09:50):
a truly fair world, you know they let a parent
of each of these children go in a room with
him and just take care of things. You do something
like that too to somebody's child.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
I don't know how wealthy these people are, the parents, Yeah,
I don't know, but they might be. And I don't
know where this guy's going to get stuck as far
as prison goes, but I think you might.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
He won't be there long wherever it is.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
That's what I'm thinking. I just I mean, if you're
one of the parents, are you, well, you don't want
to get caught up in that because then you'll end
up in prison. But uh, yeah, I guess crazy your
things have happened, But to have to watch your young
child who didn't have a chance to even get started,

(10:36):
and I mean, we see it every day, but it's
so sad.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
I still haven't heard a reason.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
Yeah, why why did you show up and kill four college? Why?

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Random? Is there any connection with them? Right? I don't know,
that's it. And one of the parents was saying, if
you're going to let him plead guilty and take the
death penalty possible death penalty off the table, at least
make him have to say doop dup dup dup dup
up dupe and tell us you know what happened, like

(11:10):
why and all these different although as a parent, I
don't know, you really feel better. It's maybe they're trying
to get closure. I guess, you know. It's really sad,
super sad. But that that's one of the big things today.
The other big one, really big, is clearly the big

(11:31):
beautiful bill. We'll see where this goes with regard to
the House, it's there. It's the balls in their court.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Now.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Trump is really working this and trying to get people
on board because there are a lot of people who
are not on board. So that and the other one
was Diddy, which you kind of called. I mean, we
weren't on air, but you said, nah, he ain't gonna
do nothing because he was looking he was staring down
the barrel of life in prison the rest of his
life with the bracketeering stuff. So the ones that really

(12:01):
meant something or carried any weight were dismissed, and then
he had two that stuck. I think, and they're talking.
I didn't realize he had been in custody since September. Yeah,
so he's been he's literally been locked up since.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
When I tuned out this morning. They were still debating
whether he should be allowed to post bail or bond
or whatever and remain free until sentencing.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Again, I wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
This guy's got all these resources at his disposal.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, stupid rich What are you gonna do?

Speaker 4 (12:33):
Get him from Rio? There's no extradition from Rio. He'll
just go somewhere. I would not let him out.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
But the ones that he's being charged with, the two
that's stuck, and that they found him guilty on. What
type of sentencing do those carry? Will it be a fine?
Will it be you know anything? As far as any
time at all? Will it be time served? I don't
know what those carre.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Yeah, and he exactly get time, sir, because it was
the misdemeanor level of crimes he's convicted of. Yeah, so
it may be time served. And all this to do
about apparently you know what the jury found to be nothing.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
I'll tell you this. If he walks away from this
and gets to resume his life, he better not pull
an OJ. You know where OJ. You know he gets
off scott free. If it doesn't fit, you must have quit.
And then he ends up in a freaking hotel room
with the memorabilia thing and then ends up in prison again.
It's just like, how stupid do you have to be?

(13:32):
You dodged an unbelievable bullet, and in this situation, I
have a feeling he's going to be a little different
about this. Did you see the look on his face
he had that? Really he looked very relieved.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yes he did.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
But you know, I'm watching all the reactions and for
some reason, you know, Rosi O'Donnell felt the need to comment,
and she started doing the me too, believe all women crap.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
And oh so she's against yeah, letting him go oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
And the number of people on social media, so the
jury was eight men and three women. That explains it all.
You know, this is just one more stupid thing to
divide us, and it just, I don't know, it makes
me sad that we can't handle things any better than this.
