Speaker 4 (00:57):
I have to say we do, because look, and there's this.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
But wait, there's more. So what which car show? Where
were we? Wis Comic Con?

Speaker 4 (01:06):
It wasn't of Pittsburgh the one before that? Anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Uh. We we go to the little table area and
these are here in these boxes and they're so cute.
There's a picture of John and I at the derby
that's pink and I'm in my new pink chair.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Beautiful. And then thank these folks very much for them,
and I'm about.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
To but let's look at John's because it's really beautiful
as well.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Long live the General.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
And it's called from Scorpio Creations. You can look them
up online Facebook, Scorpio Creations, Facebook, Scorpio Creations, VIP, Instagram.
And saw Scorpio Creations, and I happen to be.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
A Scorpio, so I loved him. When I looked at that,
I said, of course a scorpio did that.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Beautiful, beautiful, These are great, just like a scorpio to
give so much credence to the what's.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
It even called the creator Scorpio Creations?

Speaker 1 (02:09):
No, no, no, no, no. Astrological astrology, yes, astrology.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Okay, you all know what that means.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Well, what did they say?

Speaker 2 (02:17):
They used to say, well, you know, I never really
cared much about any of that astrology stuff, which is
typical for an ares. So it's Scorpio Creations twenty twenty
three at outlook dot com Scorpio Creations twenty twenty three
and Outlook.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
They did a great job.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Just showed up numbers in shirts and more. Speaking of shirts,
if you are interested in the what a what a how,
we used to say, what a what a fuster cluck?
This last couple of days has been this last week, really,
but chalk up one to the good guys.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
But you know what they're probably going to say is,
you know, wait, we just we did some internal research.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
We really want to give our customers what they want,
so we're gonna go back. No, they said before until
they caved. That woman at Cracker Barrel was saying, this
has nothing to do with politics, It has nothing to
do with wokeness or not. It has only to do
with us servicing our customer base. Well, their customer base said,

(03:25):
you so much, has touched a gray, scraggly hair on
Uncle Herschel's head and we're out of here.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
So so this one.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Here led the way I think I did, I really
do for sure, So it was it was kind of
a murmuring bait, like wait a minute, there's Cracker Barrel,
you know, but there really wasn't much talk about it.
So John just picked it up, picked up the guitar.
We're on a win in Nashville to see Marshall Blackburn.
All the way from my bro we have babs. Oh gosh,

(03:56):
I don't know where we were, but we had a
driver really far that day to get there.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
But Marshall blackburn Worth, it should be the next governor.
More on that in a moment. But John picked up
the guitar.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Well, first of all, we pulled over. We pulled up
for care.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
He wasn't doing that driving, but we pulled over, and
John goes over a rest stop and on these families.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Are looking like sitting on a hill bo duke with.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
A guitar to rest off.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
I don't know if they said, maybe they said, is
that John Schneider with a guitar? Because you know, we
know John Snyder has twenty nine albums and we love
his music. Didn't he also play on the TV show
What was that show? It doesn't matter because he did
all the music because we're near Nashville. So I sat
on a hill, I put my phone on my guitar
case and sang brought a song. We stopped loving him today.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
He took the old guy off the side. Even the
barrels gone away.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
We stopped going there today.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I believe we're sitting at a little right at half
a million half a yeah, half a million views of
that song in what four days?

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Sorry, but I did post something.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yesterday and I I'm not going back on it. Because
I do think with Cracker Barrel, with stuff like this,
we need to show a corporate America that really is
one strike. You're out, you go against your customer base.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
You can't fix it.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Now they're saying that they're going to put Uncle Herschel back.
I can't believe we've been having this conversation Uncle Herschel
back on the sign and I hope the barrel too.
But did you see the pictures of what they were
going to do inside? Even if they make it everything
as it was last.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
Week, it looked like a hospital cafeteria.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
It looks like a hospital combet.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
But even if they said, okay, we're scrapping all of that,
you know they're not doing it because they've seen the
error of their ways. They're doing it because they they
were wasting and burning up money quicker than you could
say Jackie Robinson, as my grandparents would say.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
So I say, don't go back unless.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
If they fix it and they make it, they put
every rocking chair back, the white ones back right, the
the blonde ones too.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
You know they had rocking shot. I bought many rocking
chairs from Cracker Barrel.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
In fact, I had a song about Cracker barrel on
one of the Odyssey Odyssey records, Tony, can you play
the chorus to that?

Speaker 4 (06:30):
But it's much more.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Than that, because it's more DEI and they, I know,
very liberal programs, right.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
The parent corporation does a lot of things that that
we don't agree with. We don't agree with, and if
you're a cracker barrel enthusiast then you probably don't too.
So I would say at the very least that the
CEO who made all these horrific decisions, supposedly because she
was listening.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
To her customers lie.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
That's a lie. It's a lot that's not She's not
just wrong, she's lying.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
There's a difference.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
And by the way, she needs to go old white
to go when you walk in a cracker barrel, I
don't know how many old white guys are there sitting
around cracker barrel. If you.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
One less, dear old white guy, that's me. I'm not
going anymore one.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Less now, it's too fry.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
One less barrel to pig anyway, get rid of the barrel.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
That's when I started lappy. I'm like, they even got
rid of the barrel and it changed.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
The cracker barrel.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, they got rid of the cracker and the barrel.
I guess that's what they were doing. They but but
they they have for me, they've we need to send
the message. So at the very least, now I would
acquiesce and actually go back and have Uncle Herschel's favorite
again from a table, not from a booth. That looks like,

(07:53):
like Ddie said, a cafeteria. Worse the pictures I saw
it looked like a hospital cafeteria.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Nothing against hospital cafeterias if you need one, God bless you,
but they need to be in hospital. Yeah, not this.
I mean it was awful. So she needs to go.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
As far as I'm concerned, the way the only way
that the parent corporation can save face here is not
too acquiesced.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
And put it back the way it was, put it
back good way.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
It was not by doing that only, but by getting
rid of her, you know. And I hate to use
any sort of celebrity to get somebody fired, but this
woman needs to be fired.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
I believe this woman needs to be fired.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
So and I think there's a lot of people out
there that feel the same way. Because as of yesterday,
we're recording this on Wednesday. As of yesterday, they were
doubling down on stupid. You know, no, no, we did.
We didn't want to do this. They told us we
needed to. Our customers said we needed to.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
In the day, They're like, oh, we're good, we blessed.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
We're going to keep the old one by.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
So it it breacfice in breakfast.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
You can't say we got rid of everything because we're
listening to our customer base, and then at lunch say
we're bringing everything back because we're listening to our customer base,
which is.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
A one hundred million bucks more.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
You can't. You can't have it both ways. And what
did you say?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
You your research said that they pay this woman like
six million dollars a year more.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
Than at like six points.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Sex through what the one of the most trusted brands
in the United States.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Harsham was a real guy. He was an uncle of Lake,
one of the founders or a family member.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
I mean, how can you do that?

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, so of course it was backlash. People are saying,
then bring Aunt Jemima back. I think they did.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Bring antemia.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
I think the family wanted that well, of course.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah, you know, legacy, fame and a lot of warmth
and love because people on breakfast and are looking at
Aunt Jemima. It's this beautiful woman and very warm and friendly,
and they get front of.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Her and comfortable.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yeah, because why I mean, I never did understand.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
They get rid the Quaker from Quaker oats. Probably they
put they put a Muslim.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
Here's another old white guy get rid of.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
I can't have any old white guys.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Remind me direct like, oh, well, she was in a
subservient position. I'm like, I cook, John cooks. Does that
make us lesser people? I think we all cook right,
and we don't cook a lot because we're on the
road a lot. People ask us that John's really a
great breakfast maker. So since we're not going to Cracker
Barrow anymore, thank goodness, John.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Well Herschel, Uncle Hershel's well, you know, I did a video.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
What was your favorite Uncle Hershel?

Speaker 1 (10:31):
I can't hear you. What was my favorite uncle? It
was called Uncle Herschel's favorite.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
When is it?

Speaker 1 (10:35):
It was? It's a whole.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Breakfast of yes, it's like in waffle House. It's the
all star breakfast where it's a bit of everything.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
So great.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Somebody tell me, is it is it apple cobbler they
have at at Cracker barrel or is it compote not
compost compote. I think it's compote.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
I don't know what that barrow has compote.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
I think that's what it might be.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
It doesn't sound right for some reason in my head,
you know, which has got all kinds of stuff running
around in it. It's uh, it's compoke. And I don't
even know what compoke is.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
But I know what it is, but it's kind of fancy.
I just don't think that's there. But anyway, someone will
tell us. Because our audience is so super duper smart.
And by the way, everybody, if you would do us
a favor and share this and share like the social
media and share a Colohersals song and our podcast, that'd
be great. But you all are wonderful. And on that note,

(11:34):
we are doing hand giveaways and we've given away two
hats because I love hats.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
One of the people that ask questions like why didn't
wear a head of time, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
I like gos is a thought, but it did start
with me having skin cans are not kind of kicked
it all, you know, and then I started to just
love hats anyway, So now I want to give back.
So we've given away two hats today is a third.
But you have to answer a question. You have to
be the first person to answer a historic question.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
You know what the question is.

Oh my gosh, and a straw hat. It's like cream
color and it's got a boat.

were on the train a lot.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
We took the Exceller train from.

UH from Philadelphia, UH to a Penn station.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Then we took the Long Island Railroad to Jamaica.

Yeah, it's in Queens, right yeah, ok. And then we
took the air train to.

the train to the plane, but it's.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
A couple of trains to the plane.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yeah, it's really easy.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
It was very easy.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
I mean, we could have taken a car, but thought,
let's just keep doing our fun travel things.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
So there's no.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Traffic on a train track. Oh there's a song, there's
no traffic on a train track. I've heard it said before,
and I have.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
To tell you all.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
You know, when I worked to New York and I'm
doing lots of Fox News and doing lots of fun
things in New York, Penn Station was not great. It
was just not But now they've got an aream they
read did the Library, and that's named after Patrick Wannahan.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Right, it's actually Mornihan Station though.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
Right, correct, Okay, correct, And it is absolutely beautiful. They
have the Metropolitan is a club, Metropolitan the lounge basically,
and it's gorgeous.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
You know when you do, you know, I can't even
really really nice.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
So anyway, we had a lovely time traveling.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
I mean even the flight was time traveling. We had
a lovely time traveling.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
Look, we went from the from we were traveling to.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
The east coast to the west coast, all the way
to La John say, Bollywood Ball. Yeah, we didn't take
the train there. Uh And but the flight was good.
American Airlines we we I thought we had a good flight.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Oh yeah, it was great.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Well, and it was because she knows how to do this.
I never knew how to do this. Uh, so she
knew how to pick. We did fly first class. Uh
and on this particular thing, what.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Did you say? It was called the jack Ship Black flagship.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
So an American earnline and you get the flagship. I
mean it's the background. I don't know because I can't
just reach over and hold John's hand, but we kind
of have our own little can't wake me up as easily, right,
wake me up before you go go, because I do
that a lot one of these.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
I'm kind of am like, I just have.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
To test you asleep? Are you asleep? And I'm like, what.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
If you've ever seen Nick and Nora, we are totally
ni ignored.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
The bier.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
When it is the sleep thing.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
But when you fly.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Flight was good and we were across the aisle, but
not far we really reached.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
We could because there's only one seat on each side side.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
That's pretty amazing.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
I know that sounds very, very elitist, but we had
no opportunity to sleep because we had done.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
A lot, a lot that day.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
We had filmed portions of the documentary of our country's
two hundred and fiftieth birthday as that I think in
three states. So it was like and then we almost
I think we talked about this last week. Yeah, we
almost did get on the train, but we got to uh,
we got to La We did. It had a great time.
Of course, last week's show we did from the balcony

(17:14):
or actually from in the room because it was too
bright outside from the glorious Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, which, by
the way, I think is the most haunted hotel also
in Los Angeles, if you're into any of that sort
of thing, but it's what's haunted by the ghosts of
wonderful celebrities from times gone by, particularly from the silent era.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
So it's a great place as a wonderful pool.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
And of course Academy Awards there.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
First Academy Awards was in the ballroom there and Shirley's.

Speaker 3 (17:46):

It was not my fault, absolutely not me.

Speaker 4 (20:08):
He got big trouble.

My God, realized what I have, what I was, and
we love Rex.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
Well, somehow I didn't realize it was that event. And
then about halfway through a very long conversation with Rex
while d D is talking right and we're applauding for things,
and he said, and I'm talking back and said, oh

about me.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
I've got to be quiet. So I did. I got.
I got quiet, but I had to. Uh.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
I didn't do my usual conservative speeches at this event.

Well I would in Hollywood, but I wouldn's. I would
Calley go go Bally who in Holley love that word

Speaker 4 (21:18):
Indeed, he one is the queen. She's still there, my mentor.

Speaker 3 (21:22):

Speaker 2 (21:23):
So m yes today as we do this, so it'll

Speaker 1 (21:36):
We want to wish him a very very happy birthday.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
You left him in the chair up.

Speaker 1 (21:40):

Speaker 4 (21:41):
We did, and then they hung him there through lunch.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
He wanted to stay through lunch. That wasn't our fault.
He wanted to stay character. He said, that's all right,
I'll stay here. That sounds like Sonny. By the way,
he was also in Forrest Gump. He played Bear Bryant.
He was also in the Longest Yard, the original one,
Burt Rental's Longest Yard. His character's name was Sonny, and
he's the crazy guy that's throwing bales of straw up

He turned ninety today, So uh send Sonny some.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
When is that song Sonny the Smile Sonny?

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Anyway, we've been watching the news, the cracker barrel thing.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
Hey, although hers show hey shoving you back? Will you belong?
You're looking sweat.

Speaker 4 (22:40):
Madison in our new chairs.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
By the way, Bear Herschel, thank.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
You Bear Furniture. Look at my super pink and John
super Orange Super they came. They brought him up, of course,
and this table's attached. I am so thrilled with these chairs.
And then we've got lounge chairs in they're like a
teal or something, and show a picture of those.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
I don't want to go over there. That's that's where
I fished for my my breeches over there. And we
are going to next week.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
I hope.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
If we're still on this porch, we'll actually have a
porch here. Right now, we're kind of kind of on
the roof right now, still no railings or anything.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
The roof is on by I can't tell. We're gonna
get a pretty one now.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
We're gonna get a nice, a better, bigger.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Jeremy Lee he's doing a porch and he got the approval,
so we're excited about that.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
We're going to get that movement and it'll be great.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
We got our pool table put together. Been moving stuff
around in the house.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
But but we were watching the news this.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Morning and it still just amazes me when things bad
things are happening like it was Minneapolis.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Bad things are half Minneapolis.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
I don't happen.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, you know, it's always a it's always a self
inflicted gun wound. We just don't know which self inflicted
the gun. And I don't care. If you go into
a place and you're gonna start shooting how you don't
know and you're gonna start shooting innocent.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Cha, then it's overt you're a murderer.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Yeah, But you know, I'm I'm a little old school
that that that was too quick for this kind of
a person. You know, I think there needs to be
some some agony involved.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
But that's just me. But there are there are.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
People on the left that are blaming this on conservatives.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
I don't understand.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
It goes in and start shooting up a church and
it's started as well.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
No, it's just crazy.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yeah, And you know, I'm going to go back to
Cracker Barrel just for a minute. One of the reasons why,
I think, does anybody but me remember that in twenty
sixteen when when Donald Trump was running for president, and
I think in twenty twenty is when we found out
about it, and that sounded bad. Not we found out
about it, but one of the campaign strategies was to

(25:07):
campaign within driving distance of the Cracker Barrel because people
who frequent Cracker Barrel are hard working folks. Not that
everybody doesn't work hard, but generally speaking, people who work
with their hands, farmers, truck drivers, guitar playing singer. I mean,

(25:29):
we always stopped at Cracker Barrel when I did music
back in the eighties. So there's a certain a certain
demographic that goes to Cracker Barrel that President Trump and
his team thought, or at that point Canada Trump thought
would vote for Trump.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
And they were right. So i'll bet you that this.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
I don't know the woman's name, but i'll bet you
somewhere in there they said, oh my god, those Magat people,
those Trumpsters, those people you know there. I don't know
that they were actually if they were trying to draw
in new business. You know, you always try to draw
a new business. You try to broaden your customer base.
But what I think they were doing, I think they
were thumbing their nose at their old business. Because someone

(26:16):
at a cocktail party somewhere said, well, you know, those
Maga people go to Cracker Barrel, and that's CEO. Now
this is speculation. Probably said the hell they They will
not go there from now.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
And am I interrupting your texting or something?

Speaker 4 (26:31):
No, this is about the Bluebird Cafe.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Okay, So anyway, I.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Think, John, I'm going to the cafe and I'm trying
to figure all this out to sort of urge it.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, well I know, so it's near a cracker Barrel.
The Bluebird cafe, but I'm sure it is.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
And so I'll bet you, I'll bet you that had
something to do with it. You know, the pressure at
the UH, at the water cooler.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
When Dukes of Hazzard was number one.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
I had a bunch of friends at CPS and they
said there was only one head of CBS that would
brag at a cocktail party that he had anything to
do with Dukes of Hazard, and that was Kim Lamasters.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
His name was Kim Lamasters.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
I'm not sure where Kim and Donna live now and
their beautiful daughter and breed, but he was somebody that
wasn't ashamed of Dukes of Hazzard. It was tremendously successful.
The cracker barrel was tremendously successful until they decided to
change it up. But I do think that their decision

(27:30):
to change it up absolutely had nothing to do with
their customer base. But I think it was a political move.
So I think they were there, they woke and all that. Yeah, absolutely,
I just said something yesterday. If it ain't broke, don't
fix it, and if they ain't woke, don't wake it.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
But they made a huge mistake. We need to get
rid of that. Gal. I'm sorry, So what were you saying?
The Bluebird Cafe?

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Yes, so John's couldn't perform me the Bluebird Cafe, and
I've ever been there, but those of you happened there,
they' all kind of get other, play the guitar, talk
about stories.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
I'm gonna leave.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
To ma mm hm.

Speaker 5 (28:13):
Had enough tell us. All I've got to say is
I'm gonna leave to my.

Speaker 7 (28:29):
H That's the scene he see yesterday.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
So I'll be doing that song, be doing the cracker
pail song.

Speaker 7 (28:47):
I guess, uh yeah, red necks, drunkard and college kids.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
A family of four on their way to the beach,
chairs and young couple dreaming.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
How almost man, sleeve man, it's come.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
As you are.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Don't you worry about leave van? You see every face,
every race, every background. Where are you going?

Speaker 2 (29:15):
How about all heading in different arrangeans?

Speaker 1 (29:24):
But right now we're all at home.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Mat the cracker Barrel. That's a song I had a
couple of years ago, and I'm harping on this.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Thing because.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Far as I can see, in the world of marketing,
you know, marketing is difficult, but cracker Barrel was the
one thing, or not the one, but certainly the one
that worked.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
The best.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
And it amazes me that these folks would want to
go in and change something so goofy that worked so well,
especially folks that get paid what they get paid.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
She'll be back in just a minute.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
I'm not where we're I'm not sure where she went.
But the lesson here is it's not just if it
if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But you know,
if you if you are part of a an organization
that has an advertising campaign that works.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Uh, don't change it.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Don't change Yahoo, Mountain Dew. It's too hard to get
it right, yeah, Mountain Like. We are currently working with
a wonderful company. It's a beer company that is a
rebel American, rebel American rebel. I'm worried the sun is
going to get you right when it gets in the eye.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
You and the eye. I'll move the furniture. It's hard
to move this furniture.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
I don't know if you've all connected beartus connected.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Job.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
And it's also I have a couch and does massage.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
And why would you have like a love sea like
a fansy love sea.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
It's a it's a dual actually three like a art
the lounger like a un.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
Just a little cheesy.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
It looks nice. It's very classy. And then we got
all those back.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
I'll even charge your phone.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah. In fact, we may do the We may do
the podcast next week if we're here and we're not
out on the road.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Uh, we may do the.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Podcast from the lounge chairs downstairs next to the pool table.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
I think that would be fun. So we've got thirty
whole minutes left. What do you want to talk about? Well, Minneapolis,
I want to.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
Talk about cracker barrel song, the first one. And why
did that come about? Your cracker barrel song? So didn't
you say that you used to get free food to
like country OBEs.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Well, way way back when when gosh, when they had
fanfare at the Speedway, and fanfare it was a celebration
of the fans. So country artists like me and George
Strait and Riba and Gary, Gary Morris and.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Mo Bandy everybody, we would have a booth.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
It was kind of like a comic con at the
Nashville Speedway. So we had our tables and we basically
gave autograd. We did an autograph session and take took
pictures with folks for two days or three days somebody
would sing. I sang It's a short Walk from Heaven

(32:35):
to Hell. One night, the thunderstorm came in so they
couldn't use the band, so I sang that song a
cappella from the stage in the rain, and I made
sure I stood out so I was in the rain too.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Of course the sound guy was, really, honey.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
I'm having a chat with our friend at the Bluebird,
because can.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
You tell our friend at the Bluebird we're doing our
live podcast.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
I just said that if you can wait a half
an hour, there would be great. So now I'm listening.
You have my undivided attention.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Okay, that's fantastic. Here's what I would tell him, you're
waiting a half an hour? What I can't I'll spill something.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
Uh oh, thank you.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
So that was at Fanfair, and.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
What I at that point if you went, if you
were on the radio, It wasn't just because I'm the
Dukes of Hazzard, because of course Dukes was big then.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
But they said, wait a minute, you're on you have
you have.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
The number one song. You have a top ten song
this week, right boy? And that wasn't the song thank you.
I never had that song on the radio. I this
was at the Cracking never that was before this. I
was at the Cracker Barrel in Music Valley, right near
Cooters by the way, and they said, you don't have

(33:56):
to pay and I said, oh, no, no, you know,
I said, They said, no, don't know this. This is
Cracker Barrel policy. Because when Cracker Barrel first started, Boxcar
Willie talked about Cracker Barrel from stage and he would
stop by a cracker barrel, and they started a policy
where Boxcar Willie.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Didn't have to pay.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
And I think Boxcar Willie might have said, well, if
I don't have to pay, you should let it be
known that people who are on the radio don't ever
have to pay a Cracker Barrel. So in the eighties,
which I realized was a long time.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
Ago, I love the agies. You're the one who want
to pay attention.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
In the eighties, texting you get back on. In the
eighties you didn't. And maybe into the nineties I don't know,
but anywhere across country, as Cracker Barrel started to expand,
I don't know that they.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
Kept that going.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
But Cracker Barrel was intimately aware of the of the
work that went into farming, into U traveling around and
doing music. I mean, it makes a lot of work
into the truck driving industry. So you know, I don't
know that if you showed your CDL that that that

(35:09):
you get it.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
But it's not about the discount.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
It was about the fact that Cracker Barrel truly understood
its customer base and they threw that away up the CEO.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
That's so liberal, I forget that. That's so weird.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Well, I'm sure she was hired during the Biden administration
when they all thought they were going to be able
to steal another election.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
And we never Conservatives would never have any other.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
In the eighties, when Cracker Barrel was giving away food
to country music music artists, the the powers that be
in television in New York, Chicago and LA.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Called all the rest of us the flyover states. I
think politicians still call it that, right, the.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Flyover states, which indicates exactly you know, like Ohio, Hello.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
It indicates that, you know, it's a derogatory term. I
don't care how they spin it. Flyover states as well.
You know, those states really don't if.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
You're not in New York.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
If you're not in New York, LA, and May.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
In Chicago used to be that. You're joez the tap room.
The tap room is cooking.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
Oh yeah, we love Madison.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
I swear it might be Joe. No, that might be Joe.
It's coming from there. I think it's No. I think
it's Joe. Joe is right there. What's Joe's restaurant, Rivertown Gril.
Rivertown Grill is right there.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
And by the way, the bath room is right there
by the way. You know, because we love manas we
love to promote it.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Sorry duck Pin Bowling. It is right there.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
A little utopia for us as we travel the country.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Is great wine there. What's that wine.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
Store called Thomas Family Winery.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Thomas Family Winery right there, next to the liquor store,
which is next to would I would I lovingly the
only new building you can see here.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
I call it Dollar in Gabana and it's.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
I mean, it's a grocery store, but it's Dollar General
General into Dollar General Store.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
You know who called it Dollar in Gabana in Louisiana,
Daniel Daniel Quinn. Oh, he said, I'm going down. I'm
going down to Dollar in Gabana.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
And by the way, and we mentioned this, I think
last week we did.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
But I love Steven Eve's best friends of Bruce Willis.
You know, Bruce is struggling and I worked with Bruce
Allot and Stephen and Daniel, so you know, it's a
small world that we're all connected.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
A small world.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
But he was in first class with this at a
on the plane and he came back.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
If Custer had lived past thirty, I'm telling.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
Yeah, if we ever do a movie with Custer.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
He's it's him, but it's Custer older.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
It's Custer older than he.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
Actually got when he got wow.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Wow, Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
Coller generals.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Well, but I think I think I think the the
powers that be at Cracker Barrel understand exactly how Custer felt.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
Yeah, well, you know, here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
We tell me to move the chairs.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
No, I'm okay now for at the moment, I think
we might we might make it. So, because I'm leaving up,
I like to lean over close to you anyway. Do
you want me to help you with your snaps?

Speaker 4 (38:22):
So tell everybody of that shirt.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
This is a Beau Duke shirt that I use on
stage sometime.

Speaker 4 (38:34):
And John will wear snap shirts, which I love. I'm
not talking about that and I because I like to
open it.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
It's fun.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Yeah, I can't help it.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
We're marrying.

Speaker 4 (38:44):
I'm allowed. I'm not open up that snap shirt.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
This is We're very excited. I have heard I have
heard that.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
That DC has now gone uh not just theoretically, but
it has now gone on from one of, if not
the most dangerous city in our country through the safest
and cleanest city in our country.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
And it's been a week.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
Here and there by the way, I mean sort of
around the uh.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
We drove through the Beltway, which was a disaster, just traffic.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
Yeah, because we wanted to see marsh Blackburns. We had
to get there. But we did stop. We did have
a little.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
Stop it did we stop? Where did we stop? My gosh,
we stopped County Fairfax County. Right. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
So anyway, so lots going on there. So we're going
to go for the fifty state tour. We're going to
do more in Virginia. I'm going to go to Mount Vernon.
I love so much George Washington in history. And we're
watching the show Turn.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Yeah, we're still watching Turn.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
And I say you what, there was an episode last
night called Valley Forge.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
And.

Justin Valley there so that was fun for us.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
And they did a wonderful job. I looked it up.
I wanted to see where they filmed this show. Turn
they filmed it outside of Richmond, Virginia, and in Richmond, Virginia.

Speaker 4 (40:02):
So much history in Richmond.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
But they did a great job.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
The whole state of Virginia, my goodness, Oh, Virginia goes
on and on and on. So just you all know,
we've done eleven states, which is fabulous, you know, because
it's July fourth, the last July fourth, which we kicked
off right over here in Madison, the most beautiful city
in the world where we live, and then we're going

(40:26):
to end.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
To July fourth next year.

Speaker 3 (40:27):
We have already done eleven eleven.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
States in basically a month or five weeks or whatever.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (40:35):
So I can't no, no, I'm okay, I'm.

Speaker 2 (40:38):
Well, I was gonna I was going to pull the

Speaker 4 (40:45):
Now we're okay, We're good.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
So anyway, so I'm very proud of John. John is
so good at editing and so good at storytelling. I mean,
he's just.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Great at it. I mean, I'm good at big ideas,
but then he takes it and runs with it and
puts together all these ideas and.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
We had a ball.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
I'm working on that right now. I'm trying to.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Stumble upon structure for this, for this, so I have started.
I started yesterday because you know, you have a lot
of footage, and I got to get the footage.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
I have to get the footage here.

Speaker 4 (41:20):
We're going right, I can't John to Son, God, I'm not.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
Sun's hard for me.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
So we have to get the footage, the concert footage
from the show here in Madison.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
Did you hear me? Yes, I have to get that
off your phone.

Speaker 4 (41:35):
Yeah, we'll do that.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
So I got put that on there.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
And then uh yeah, so I want to I want
to happen on And I say that because you know
people people say, oh, I'm.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
Going to plan this all out and then I'm going
to do it. Well, in a creative world, you just
kind of start.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
There's a wonderful adage in writing is don't get it right,
get it written, which means just sit down and.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
Start writing, and then the structure story it.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
Yeah, it's about it's about editing, which is why one
of my favorite people of all time was was Mark Twain,
and one of my favorite quotes of his was, please
forgive the long letter, as I did not have time
to write a short one.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
And so easy to write something.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
We say that again so that they can hear it.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Please forgive the long letter, as I did not have
time to write a short one, right, which means you
could get it down there and then you've got to
hone it in and you've got to yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
So so I'm in the process of doing that. I'm
excited about it. I think it's going to be really great.
Not sure what I'm going to call it yet. It's
not just going to be Happy two hundred and fiftieth
Birthday America. It's going to be something something more fun
than that. But the plan is to have have this
out at least the first five The first episode will
be five states.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
Yeah, uh, got eleven.

Speaker 4 (42:56):
So John can do too. No pleasure, you know.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
You say that like you're ordering pizza. Oh yeah, we'll
just door dash. Well, just I'd like the documentary please.
Oh okay, Well, but.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
You're so talented you can do it it. I mean,
John's so good at this.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
I'm telling you i'mus, this is hard.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
This is a this is a this is not a
thousand piece jigsaw puzzle. This is a five thousand piece
jigsaw puzzle. And I've got to figure out what order
to know and I will. Yeah, but here's the problem. Uh,
and maybe somebody out there can help me with this.
When I transfer video from my phone or d D's phone,

(43:36):
or your phone, somebody's phone to my computer, the I
think it's called metadata goes away, so it no longer
tells me where I was and what time it was
and what day it was, So I don't want to
have to figure it out because that hey time, would
you stop for a second, If there's a way to

(44:00):
transfer the movies, you're leaving the picture to transfer the movies,
I thought you wanted me to.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
Oh okay, if there's a way to transfer I do.
If there's a way to.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Transfer the movies from your phone to your computer and
keep the metadata that explains where you were and when
you were there, that would be gratefully helpful to me
because right now I'm having to go back and cross
reference my phone because it's still on my phone. But
I'm talking about one thousand clips. So if you could

(44:34):
help me with that, it would be grand, it'd be
really really great.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
So there we go. What else is going on in
the world? She is texting.
