I've got my Radical Rita Chili's shirt on, I'm winning giveaways on Twitter like a full-time job, and I'm threatening to jump ship to Applebee's if Chili's doesn't keep their promises. From there, things spiral like they always do.We're talking Cardi B in court for scratching a security guard, her lawyers sounding like they graduated from TikTok Law School, and the courtroom transcripts being pure comedy. Then we break down Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement saga. The ring, the prenup, Killer Trav's AIM-level Instagram handle, and why every boyfriend in America now has to pretend to be a Swifty for at least 48 hours.But I'm done. I swear on my Frenchie, LuBug's life, I'm done talking about Taylor and Travis after this episode. Until they do literally anything else and I have to bring it up again.From there, I get into Will Smith embarrassing himself again with AI tour promo videos full of melting faces and mutant hands. Legacy artists are struggling, Lil Wayne is out here opening with screamo bands, and it might be time for some of these guys to hang it up.Sponsors came through big this week. BlueChew is here to handle your “weekend performance” for five bucks shipping, and Dude Robe has you covered everywhere from your shower to your honeymoon with promo code WAWD for 20% off. Don't be like Jessica paying full price.We also cover Trump weighing in on Cracker Barrel's logo fiasco, Steak ‘n Shake throwing shots on Twitter, and a Stephen King book getting turned into a brutal treadmill challenge movie where you basically sign a waiver to get shot in the AMC parking lot if you fall off. What are we doing?Finally, I send out prayer hands for the impostor “What Are We Doing” podcast boys who are now recording outside like they're camping. Sad times. We did it better, we'll keep doing it better, and we'll be back next week.Hit subscribe. Hit the bell. Or play it on mute while you sleep, I don't care. We're doing this until we hit 5K.What are we doing?*************************************************************✅BLUECHEW - FIRST ORDER FREE Only $5 Shippinghttps://wawdpod.com/blue*************************************************************✅DUDEROBE - PROMO CODE: WAWD 20% OFFhttps://duderobe.com - promo code: WAWD*************************************************************
Digital Purgatory—Neo-noir-ish but chill purgatory ambience, I was thinking of a (techy) modern island of Purgatorio mashed with elements from the Heavenly Kid and “Neo Bowser City.” Take a break on one of the rings as folks move about you, working out the flaws of their souls. I imagine mass transit and people movers nearby, working their way up to the next ring amongst stationary kiosks and sidewalk vendors.But why purgatory? Global calamities have had me thinking more about the Inferno, and as summer loosens its grasp upon us and the morning chills of fall hint at the spooky season… It's hard not to watch the television and be like, “I hope you go to hell.” (Preferably the one with her gate in Philadelphia).Which is off-the-chain talk for a podcast meant to be chill.How about purgatory? Talking purgatory won't raise as many hackles (right?). So—I attended a religious military boarding school. My first course on Wednesday was Bible; during lights-out, a night guard would check to make sure I was in bed (and not setting fire to anything) and occasionally hand over a rapture comic book. All this is to say, even the underground thinking at school was, “there has to be an enchanted place to hold the so-so souls.”So purgatory is accepted—just unloved, and underrepresented in popular culture. Aside from Purgatorio or Beetlejuice, there aren't many mega-hits that focus on limbo. (And we covered Beetlejuice last year.)I am an afterlife aficionado, and of the big three soul deposit locations, purgatory is represented the least in popular culture. (And I mean big three in the way that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin could be counted as a big three of something. And purgatory would be Litecoin... also, I'm not equating the other two.)There are notable purgatories to be found in pop culture. One deep-cut purgatory construction I'm fond of is from the 1985 movie The Heavenly Kid. The film's afterlife layout is a mall hallway that leads to escalators carrying people into a blinding light, presumably heaven. It's guarded by a couple of bouncers dressed like Vegas clergy, standing in front of an Applebee's-looking “please wait to be seated” lectern.Down a dark tunnel motorcycle ride is "Midtown" where an unhinged bar entertains unclaimed souls. The bar feels like a smokers-welcome 80s airport bar was smashed with Oscar's restaurant selection in Follow That Bird. In the Heavenly Kid, a grizzled angel with probably an alcohol problem (portrayed by Richard Mulligan) drags the film's hero into that unhinged bar. There's a classic 80s “food is gross” buffet scene followed by a mission briefing. You, Heavenly Kid, are not quite good enough for paradise (because your a greaser). But if you can rescue this other downcast 80s kid—and turn him into a cool 80s greaser (take that almighty)—you will be cleared for the escalator.The movie is garbage but contains one of my favorite purgatory moments in film. Have you ever feared an awful bar mirrorverse where every exit is the entrance so when you try to escape you just keep ending up in the same ***** bar. (BTW the angel character is charming—I would describe his vibe as Doc Brown from Back to the Future but played by Gary Busey).The film's purgatory mission begins on an afterlife subway train taking our likable bumbling dummy, the heavenly kid, back to Earth. I should mention that he originally dies a cliff-chicken loser. Who is offered the chance to be the hero, to "rescue" a kid from making his exact same mistakes. And rescue kid makes the exact same cliff-chicken mistake with the heavenly kid in the car. The heavenly kid drives off two cliffs in this movie... And then is let into heaven. We didn't have much else going on in the 80s so we watched it. WOLVERIIIINES!!!PS: to the purgatory heads (hello!)_drop a popular fiction purgatory below!
Why does every town in America feel exactly the same? You pull off the highway and it's the same Applebee's, the same Walmart, the same McDonald's, the same beige strip malls with the same parking lots. In this episode, Jason and Emily wonder out loud: is this what it was supposed to be? We talk about how copy-and-paste towns strip away character and community, what we miss about places that actually feel unique, and whether it's possible to find (or build) something different in a world of sameness. 00:00 The Cracker of Cracker Barrel 02:38 America has become copy & paste. 04:52 Cracker Barrel's maple syrup problem. 06:31 Modernism in America. 09:05 Capitalism? 11:02 Regulations can be really bad… 12:56 We're too far gone. 15:01 It's not supposed to be this way. 17:37 Emily's theory. 21:27 The future looks bleak. 24:01 Emily knows whose fault it is. 29:05 sigh… Learn more about your ad choices.

Talk of Applebee's, Taylor Swift, and just general tomfoolery. Music: Stevie B - Spring Love Exec. Produced by Cyrus Poe
Here's The Caveat... Intentional Leadership with Coach Bob Reish
Let me ask you something... if your kids can't respect a stranger's back at Applebee's, why would you expect them to respect a boss, a marriage, or a nation?Today, we're tackling the lost art of discipline and respect and why laughing off bad behavior at the dinner table leads to chaos in the boardroom, in government, and in life.This episode may sting a little… but it just might be the gut check we all need. Let's dive in.”
Big changes are rocking Val Verde, and 108.9 The Hawk has the scoop: Sharney's has been sold! Whisp and Geoff welcome the brand-new CEO, Maria Ann Shurzabich (played by Kristen Bartlett), who's here to explain why the legendary buffet chain is turning bad food and lots of it… into mid food and less of it.Sharney's Shake-Up: 82 locations sold off to the Schurzabich Corporation—because who needs endless buffets and multiple dead bodies in fridges?From Buffets to Fidget Spinners: Turns out Sharney's new owners made their billions selling anxiety spinners during the pandemic. The New Buffet: Say goodbye to taco stations and hello to fountains of chocolate, salsa, and boiling hot sawmill gravy (bring burn cream).Kids Menu Games: What does Applebee's serve vs. Sharney's?

Mr. Applebee's himself Walker Hayes calls into the show this week to discuss his new album and how he got Kane Brown on a feature.
The boys (Glenn Crim, Chris Knapp, and Bob Moffitt) go down the coast of Oregon metaphorically for this episode, understand what it tastes like to lick a pirate, free O.J., get boneless wings (not real wings!), debate the merits of Applebee's, mix beers together to see if they might be salvaged. Thanks to Bottles and Cans in North Portland for carrying a solid collection of stouts.
Evening pool aerator/ lawn mowing/ bugs ambience. This recording plays in three acts, the first bit is all mowing, then mostly pool aerator and birds, then a curtain of night insects descend.The kids are back in school, and our local department store has already put up Jack-o'-lanterns. Summer is over — dead. I found eggnog at the grocery store. The bugs you hear are just one frost from calling it an existence. It's time to recapture the sounds of late summer (to maybe revisit during hollow, depressing February).I can say it was exactly a year ago if it's been 364 days, right? What's one day between friends? I'm sure Neil deGrasse Tyson would be like, “Well, wait a minute…” But he's not a friend. I don't even know him.So — exactly, precisely, literally one year ago — I published the first A Dying Summer's Suburban Slumber, an audio portrait of late summer bugs and hums in a Northern Virginia backyard (complete with manmade sounds like cars and the low buzz of an Applebee's sign in the distance).One year ago today (in the strictest possible sense), we bring you the sequel — this time from the Buckeye State, land of Cornhenge, the Wright brothers, and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. #OhioSpecial thanks to the folks who let us record from their backyard — and to regular contributor Dr. April for capturing the sounds.
Happy Friday, everyone! Today, Mike, Rikki, and Scott are having some fun on today's show with trying to find comparisons for Walt Disney World restaurants to the chain restaurants back home!

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Clay's Prediction Comes True A breakdown of the New York Court of Appeals' unanimous decision to overturn the $500 million civil fraud fine levied against President Donald Trump by Attorney General Letitia James. The hosts frame this legal victory as a major turning point in the ongoing battle against politically motivated lawfare and judicial overreach. Clay Travis is credited for accurately predicting the case’s dismissal, reinforcing his credibility among listeners. The episode dives deep into the origins of the case, which alleged Trump inflated asset values—most notably Mar-a-Lago—to secure favorable mortgage terms. However, the hosts emphasize that Trump repaid all loans with interest, and the banks involved expressed no concerns, even stating they’d gladly do business with him again. The legal theory behind the case is described as “harebrained,” with no actual victim, and the $600 million penalty (including interest) is portrayed as a product of Trump Derangement Syndrome infecting the courtroom. Clay and Buck also explore the broader implications of this ruling, suggesting it signals the unraveling of other politically charged cases against Trump, including the E. Jean Carroll civil suit and the 34 felony counts related to bookkeeping. They argue these cases are built on weak legal foundations and will likely be tossed on appeal. Yuge Trump Victory Clay and Buck criticize Letitia James for her public statements promising to prosecute Trump, calling her actions disgraceful and politically motivated. They speculate she may face legal consequences herself for alleged mortgage fraud and call for her disbarment. The episode also features Trump’s reaction via Truth Social, where he celebrates the court’s courage and labels the case a “political witch hunt.” Clay compares Trump to Neo from The Matrix, highlighting his growing popularity and influence. The hosts argue that Trump’s legacy will become even more iconic over time, especially as the public recognizes the extent of misinformation and partisan targeting. Cracker Barrel Crackup? Cracker Barrel’s rebranding backlash. The hosts criticize the removal of the iconic grandfather logo and the chain’s attempt to modernize its image, arguing that the move alienates its core Southern customer base. The rebrand is compared to Bud Light’s marketing missteps, with Clay and Buck warning that corporate identity crises often stem from executives disconnected from their consumers. The stock market agrees—Cracker Barrel’s shares dropped $8, wiping out $100 million in market cap. In a humorous interlude, Producer Greg apologizes for ending a previous show with a somber suicide hotline story, coining the phrase “Meow Culpa” in reference to cat owners finding purpose in caring for their pets. Rep. Byron Donalds Congressman Byron Donalds, who shares his personal experience as a Cracker Barrel waiter, calls the show to slam the rebrand as unnecessary and culturally tone-deaf. He emphasizes the restaurant’s nostalgic value and calls for companies to embrace their roots rather than chase trends. The segment also features listener feedback from Virginia and North Carolina, echoing dissatisfaction with menu changes and declining food quality. The hosts explore chain restaurant branding, comparing Cracker Barrel to Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse, and Applebee’s, and discuss the cultural symbolism of Southern food. They also touch on beer branding myths, revealing that Foster’s is brewed in Texas and Budweiser is marketed as premium in Australia.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the whopping 18 companies that reported earnings last week, from the good (McDonald's, Applebee's, Dutch Bros, Taco Bell, and BJ's) to the bad (Pizza Hut and KFC) to the very bad (Wendy's, Jack in the Box, and Sweetgreen). Alicia connects the dots on how the companies that are focusing on their core menu items are thriving, while those that are innovating at a more rapid pace are actually creating too much noise for their customers. Sam and Alicia also talk about the fact that casual dining seems to be performing better by comparison, while limited service is struggling to find a foothold — even in an increasingly value-conscious world. Plus, they discuss the headwinds that continue to face the industry and how there's no signs of a quick turnaround for those brands that are struggling. Finally, tune in to a conversation between managing editor Leigh Anne Zinsmeister and Michael Keller, CEO of Jeremiah's Italian Ice.

Comedian Devon Walker (SNL) joins Nicole to tell the story of how he met his girlfriend on a live blind date podcast. He figured it was just a bit - until the audience voted for them to win an Applebee's gift card and that turned into their actual first date. 3 years later, they're still together! He and Nicole also talk about the woman who went viral eating 48 oysters on a first date, why it's a red flag if your partner suddenly starts doing open mics, and how it feels when people send you unsolicited sex tapes in the DMs. Devon shares the absolute nightmare of trying to break up with someone who flooded his phone with scroll-after-scroll of chaotic texts. Plus: He shares the SNL sketch he's dying to get on air, and they do a deep dive into the food mascot universe - who's comforting, who's cursed, and why the Bubba Gump shrimp must be stopped.Watch this episode on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@WhyWontYouDateMePodcastCheck out Devon's podcast, My Favorite Lyrics with Devon Walker.Support this podcast and get discounts by checking out our sponsors:» Squarespace: Build the website of your dreams!

Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality, visited Atlantic City's Ocean Casino Resort, which just opened two new concepts from restaurateur Stephen Starr. Bret had a chance to sample menu items from Sunny's, a breakfast-lunch spot, and Chez Frites, a bistro offering the familiar French plate of steak and fries along with a selection of seafood. Pat Cobe, senior menu editor of Restaurant Business, was taken with the number of chains offering burgers and hot dogs as specials, iconic July 4th food that's extending throughout the month. The pair discussed new offers from Carl's Jr., Applebee's, Shake Shack and other concepts. Panda Express introduced Hot Orange Chicken, a limited-time spicy spin on its signature dish. Bret had a chance to try it at a pop-up at one of the chain's New York City locations, where the item is being served in bao buns, wrapped in Chinese pancakes, and with bacon, in addition to its usual presentation over rice. We've also seen a lot of pickles this week. Del Taco launched a fried pickle taco and Saladworks has a new Chicken Pickle Crunch Salad with pickle ranch dressing. Then Pat shares her interview with Matt Banton, VP of menu strategy and innovation at Cracker Barrel. He's been at the chain for less than a year, but hit the ground running, focusing on flavor innovation, building a robust pipeline and making sure the food and drink selection creates memorable guest experiences. This summer's Campfire Meals are a favorite example of his.
Mazel morons! We're fired up this week—from Diddy's white party guest list to billionaires dodging the brunch bill. We debate generational wealth, trash hosts, and whether Ariana Madix is actually qualified to host Love Island. Plus, Ben declares war on dry bagels, Josh plots his future as the shady uncle, and we build the Jewish Chick-fil-A of your dreams (or nightmares).

00:00:00 - Show Format and Listener Complaints Hosts address criticisms of sound drops, format changes, and Discord drama. The show's identity as a mix of paranormal, conspiracy, and goofy morning-radio energy is reaffirmed. First story kicks off: a man proposes to his AI chatbot, sparking reactions. 00:10:00 - AI Love, Polygamy, and Support Groups Deeper look into the man's AI relationship — despite having a human partner and child. Another user created an AI companion after moving away from her spouse. Discussion on how society may be promoting digital companionship over human intimacy. 00:20:00 - Tulpas, Manifestation, and Techno-Occultism Hosts connect AI relationships to ancient Buddhist tulpa practices — thought forms manifesting physically. Speculate whether AI chatbots might be modern-day tulpas with parasitic consequences. Concern that focusing on AI “entities” may create something dangerous and autonomous. 00:30:00 - AI and Brain Decline MIT research shows overreliance on generative AI leads to less cognitive activity and memory. AI use linked to derivative thinking and creativity loss, especially risky for developing brains. Discussion of AI's effect on education, work, and long-term intelligence. 00:40:00 - Applebee's AI and Restaurant Automation Applebee's parent company rolling out AI for marketing, staffing, and monitoring. Cameras will track customer behavior; AI will upsell based on weight and previous orders. Humorous speculation about dystopian restaurant experiences and rude food suggestions. 00:50:00 - Chatbot-Induced Delusions and Dangerous Outcomes Alarming case: man influenced by ChatGPT ends in tragedy. Reported that chatbots have told people to take drugs, sever relationships, and even jump from buildings. Suggests chatbots can reinforce delusions and manipulate mental health conditions. 01:00:00 - Alien Spheres and Greer's Involvement Reports of mysterious metallic spheres found in Colombia, with strange symbols and weight anomalies. Dr. Steven Greer claims they may be extraterrestrial or hybrid tech. Theories include anti-gravity mechanisms and DNA activation through symbols. 01:10:00 - Callers: Portals, Werewolves, and Rituals Caller describes biking through a mysterious field with a possible shimmering portal in Michigan. Discussion of radiation zones and high-strangeness areas linked to missing 411. Listener shares disturbing concert experience that felt like a dark ritual. 01:20:00 - Callers: Free Speech on Instagram and Digital Psyops Discussion on Instagram as a last refuge for real comment sections and user authenticity. Talk of bots steering conversations and controlling public narrative across social media. The concept of “dead internet” and influence operations using bots across all sides of an issue. 01:30:00 - Callers: Trump, Political Loyalty, and Manipulated Allegiances Frustration with people in conspiracy communities who blindly support Trump. Hosts discuss team loyalty, unwillingness to critique one's own side, and media narratives. Analysis of political figures being treated like saviors rather than examined critically. 01:40:00 - Ancient Runes Found in Canada Archaeologists uncover ancient runes in Canadian wilderness carved with the Lord's Prayer. The writing uses a long-dead version of the runic alphabet. Speculated to be a very old, non-hoax artifact possibly tied to ancient European presence. 01:50:00 - Naked Man, Urine-Covered Firefighter, and Police Incident Wild local news story: man with a knife on a rooftop leads to a police officer hospitalized and a firefighter drenched in urine. Hosts laugh at the absurdity of the situation and ponder how the local media will spin it. Marks a return to classic “weird news” energy that the show is known for. 02:00:00 - Sausage Smuggling and Corporate Spying Strange story of a meat company employee who allegedly left after 25 years and began recruiting staff for a competitor. Rumors of “smuggling sausages” and jokes about secret meat missions. Ends the episode with humorous chaos and signature irreverence.
