We're puppets. AI has its hand up our collective asses, and we're all just talking like Kermit the Frog while Russian bot farms tear society apart. Dramatic? Maybe. True? Unfortunately. In this episode we look into the increasingly unhinged intersection of AI, social media manipulation, and what's left of our shared reality. It's not all doom. There's some genuine good AI can do (like helping my kid with homework). But it's mostly doom. Here's what we covered: The Episode Breakdown Mental institutions are overrun with people suffering from AI-related disorders, some fell in love with chatbots, others can't function without AI assistance, others are spiraling into existential dread Bot farms are weaponizing brands in culture wars (see: Cracker Barrel's logo change), and most of that online outrage isn't from humans, it's from Russian troll operations Peter Thiel is out here telling Christians at private Silicon Valley rallies that stopping AI development will hasten the Antichrist (I wish I were making this up) You are the product not the customer, on every social media platform. The actual customers are advertisers buying your attention. The cost is your sanity. The cave tour guide principle: How darkness + suggestion = seeing threats that aren't there (based on Jason's actual cave tour guide days) Why everything feels existential: The internet profits from making every problem feel like a crisis. Your nervous system can't tell the difference between real threats and manufactured outrage. The influencer accountability problem: Anyone can build an empire on conspiracy theories now. There's no regulation. No licenses. Just vibes and reach. The only real escape: "Just don't look" (Simpsons-style). Not forever. Not completely. But enough to remember what reality feels like. ---- MORE FROM BROBOTS: Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok Subscribe to BROBOTS on Youtube Join our community in the BROBOTS Facebook group ---- LINKS TO OUR PARTNERS: Take control of how you'd like to feel with Apollo Neuro Explore the many benefits of cold therapy for your body with Nurecover Muse's Brain Sensing Headbands Improve Your Meditation Practice.

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including Domino's brand refresh, Wendy's new strategic plan, and McDonald's Snack Wrap struggles. First up is Domino's, which refreshed its branding with new colors, a new font, and even its first-ever jingle, recorded by Grammy-nominated musician Shaboozey. Sam and Alicia discuss this refresh and how it differs from the big rebrand at Cracker Barrel. How can restaurant chains successfully update their brands without alienizing loyal customers? Domino's offers a case study. Next up is Wendy's, which needs a refresh of its own and announced Project Fresh, a strategic plan designed in conjunction with marketing consultant (and former Yum! Brands CEO) Greg Creed. The plan hopes to revitalize Wendy's brand and accelerate profitability, but in the wake of the company's volatility — including the departure of short-tenured CEO Kirk Tanner — does Wendy's need more action than talk? Then they shift their focus to Wendy's competitor, McDonald's, which maybe didn't get the lift from Snack Wraps that it expected. Data from Placer.ai shows that McDonald's enjoyed a brief boost from the wraps, but visits fell each week after that and lagged the overall category. Sam and Alicia discuss the bigger issue with restaurants and why new products aren't always the silver bullet that companies hope them to be. Finally, managing editor Leigh Anne Zinsmeister joins the podcast to discuss the recent spate of bankruptcies and why it seems that several small and regional chains in particular have been forced to file.

In this episode of The Intuitive Customer, Professor Ryan Hamilton is joined by guest host Ben Shaw to explore the high-stakes world of rebranding. From Cracker Barrel's logo backlash to Jaguar's radical design overhaul, they unpack what happens when brands chase new audiences at the expense of their loyal customers. The conversation dives into the tension between rebranding vs. repositioning, why heritage brands face special challenges, how politics and culture can hijack brand decisions, and practical lessons for leaders trying to grow without alienating their core base. Key Takeaways Rebrand ≠ Reposition: A visual refresh is not the same as shifting your audience or your value proposition, conflate the two at their peril. Respect the Core Customer: Growth shouldn't mean neglecting the customers who got you here; woo them as deliberately as you pursue new ones. Brand Stretch Matters: Broad idea-driven brands (e.g., Virgin, Crocs) can pivot more easily than heritage or status-driven brands (e.g., Jaguar, Burberry). Change Carries Political Luggage: In today's climate, even aesthetic changes can be interpreted as taking sides so plan for backlash and communication. Experience vs. Marketing: Quietly improving the customer experience often triggers less resistance than highly visible logo or messaging changes. Segment Conflicts Are Real: Pursuing one segment often pushes you away from another. Sub-brands Can Create Safe Space: When segments clash, consider sub-brands or status tiers to reduce friction (e.g., Nike's sport verticals, Burberry's London/Brit/Brit Prorsum). Heritage is an Asset and a Trap: Brands built on nostalgia or legacy often risk losing their most valuable equity if they modernise too aggressively. Resources & Brands Mentioned Ryan Hamilton & Annie's book: The Growth Dilemma – on managing relationships between customer segments. Brand case studies: Cracker Barrel, Jaguar, Burberry, Kohl's, Nike, Crocs, Virgin, Michael Kors.

#308. Perhaps some of us had dreams of becoming radio broadcasters when we were kids. Having a middle-class podcast is the closest we've come to “making it” as far as that's concerned, but here we are! Kendall shares a wonderful weekend away with his boy which includes a special note for the executives at Uber. Ya'll have some things to fix. Then we dive into the Cracker Barrel logo situation and come to the conclusion that we don't care about what robots care about. On the second half we ponder what restaurants we'd rather live around and Dillon shares the results of a BBQ taste test! All with the light-hearted banter that you expect. We look forward to chilling with Kory soon! Maybe he'll get us talking about something other than food. Until then, be kind to each other.FTM Merch! - https://www.teepublic.com/user/fromthemiddleLinkTree - https://linktr.ee/fromthemidpodVOICE MAIL!

Not long ago, everybody seemed to want to get in on Pride month festivities. Then the political winds shifted.Companies that were proudly flying the rainbow flag decided to fold up their colors this year, or at least drop their financial support — including Vanderbilt Medical Center, Nissan, Cracker Barrel, Dollar General and Jack Daniel's. So Nashville Pride has been scrambling to fill the gap with a symbolic deadline of Saturday 10/11, which is National Coming Out Day. In this episode, we get an update from Pride organizers and explore the history of gay pride in our town.Stream the show live on YouTube.This episode was produced by Josh Deepan.Guests Tina Tousignant, Nashville Pride President Jef Ellis, co-founder of Dare Newspaper (later renamed Query) Dwayne Jenkins, Nashville Black Pride Board President

Last work day for almost two weeks for me. We've got the CMN Radiothon tomorrow & Friday and I'll be at Gundersen from 6am until noon tomorrow and then it's packing…packing…and more packing as we get ready to leave early Friday morning for NH. In the news this morning, an update on the closing of the Black Hawk bridge in Lansing, a recall on Toyotas, the victim of Mark Sanchez is suing, and a bunch of people stuck on Mount Everest are finally getting rescued. In sports, the Mariners & Yankees won yesterday and we looked at today's MLB playoff schedule. Also, the WNBA Finals continue tonight, and the NFL Week 6 kicks off tomorrow night on Prime. We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and we discussed Dolly Parton's recent health scare. Made our weeks 6 & 7 Pigskin Picks as I'll be out of town next Wednesday. And Doc joined us just after 8am for this week's Racing Report thanks to County Materials. Cool story about a tour driver in Africa who went on safari thanks to some of his customers…and check out this dog who found a special friend! Crazy scene in Pittsburgh as they've already put their Christmas tree up in the city's plaza for the holidays. Today is "National Fluffernutter Day", so enjoy a delicious, cavity-inducing sammich later today. Ran down a list of the safest states in America. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a stolen dinosaur statue at a gas station in CA, a new product from Airheads just in time for Halloween, a French "influencer" who's going to jail for a sick prank, a Missouri man who got arrested for robbery when the cops found him wearing the same underwear he had on during the robbery, Long John Silver apparently didn't learn the lesson that Cracker Barrel just endured, and an argument over a NASCAR shirt turned violent.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ChatGPT just took a massive swing at e-commerce, rolling out instant checkout with Stripe so you can shop directly inside a chat window. Jay Schwedelson unpacks why this could be a Google-killer, why Threads is suddenly neck-and-neck with X in daily active users (even if it doesn't feel like it), and how Perplexity's new Comet browser can literally save you money at checkout. He also digs into a massive conversion study that proves simple words sell more than fancy copy, Instagram's big bet on Reels, and yes—some unnecessary drama around Cracker Barrel's logo. To balance it all, Jay throws in TV talk, a Dancing With the Stars surprise, and the news Scrubs fans have been waiting for.Best Moments:(00:16) ChatGPT adds instant checkout with Stripe, starting with Etsy and Shopify sellers(02:00) Threads reportedly matches X on daily active users—believe it or not(03:00) Perplexity launches Comet, an AI browser with auto coupon-finding at checkout(04:00) Study shows simple fifth-grade-level copy converts 56% better than complex writing(05:25) Instagram tests replacing the home tab with Reels as default feed(06:08) Cracker Barrel fires its branding agency after logo backlash(07:33) Robert Irwin crushes on Dancing With the Stars and teases a Bachelor future(08:00) Scrubs revival in the works with the original castCheck out our 100% FREE + VIRTUAL EVENTS! ->Guru Conference - The World's Largest Virtual EMAIL MARKETING Conference - Nov 6-7!Register here: www.GuruConference.comㅤCheck out Jay's YOUTUBE Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@schwedelsonCheck out Jay's TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@schwedelsonCheck Out Jay's INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jayschwedelson/ㅤMASSIVE thank you to our Sponsor, Marigold!!Email chaos across campuses, branches, or chapters?

U of R change it's name, there's a state park in the city coming, and it's really warm in Rochester.

n this episode of The No Normal Show, Stephanie Wierwille and Chris Bevelo react to Harvard Business Review's viral claim that AI is “destroying productivity,” and challenge marketers to aim higher. They also rate real-world brand use cases of AI work from Nike, Delta and others, on their "Einstein-O-Meter " to separate the groundbreaking from the basic. Along the way, they breakdown Peloton's latest move into healthcare, and how bots were the real driving force of the outrage over Cracker Barrel's logo.

On this week's episode, Brad and Eric are joined by Miwabelle to discuss the most important facet of a model: the drip.

Cracker Barrel has ended its relationship with the consultancy that oversaw its brand refresh initiatives. Bruegger's Bagels locations in Cincinnati are being rebranded. And Taco Bell is launching its biggest Taco Tuesday promotion.

On this week's episode, Brad and Eric are joined by Miwabelle to discuss the most important facet of a model: the drip. Does it really matter that a Space Marine survived another battle against the Tyranids if their socks color doesn't match their cape? What about an Astra Militarum commissar?

News and Updates: Microsoft backtracks in Europe — Windows 10's Extended Security Updates (ESU) will be free for an extra year in the European Economic Area (EEA), lasting until October 14, 2026. After pushback from Euroconsumers under the Digital Markets Act, Microsoft dropped its requirement to enable Windows Backup (and OneDrive) for access. Users in the EEA still need to log in with a Microsoft account every 60 days, but no cloud sync or payments are required. Outside Europe, ESU costs $30 or 1,000 Microsoft Rewards points, or requires enabling cloud sync. Windows 10 end-of-support remains October 14, 2025. Cracker Barrel logo controversy amplified by bots — Researchers at PeakMetrics found that nearly half of early outrage posts on X about Cracker Barrel's new logo were bot-generated. Around 44.5% of the first 52,000 posts — and nearly half of boycott calls — were flagged as bot-driven. Alt-tech platforms like Truth Social, Gettr, Gab, 4chan, and Rumble also spread the backlash. While 75% of posts came from real users, botnets amplified discontent into a viral outrage cycle. Social media now central to news diets — A new Pew study shows 53% of U.S. adults sometimes get news from social media. Facebook (38%) and YouTube (35%) lead, followed by Instagram (20%) and TikTok (20%). X (12%) and Reddit (9%) lag behind. Younger adults are far more likely to use TikTok, Reddit, and Instagram for news, while older adults still lean on TV. Only 2% of Americans say they get news from AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Google Gemini. Police stop a driverless Waymo — San Bruno, California police pulled over a Waymo robotaxi after it made an illegal U-turn. With no human driver, officers couldn't issue a citation. Current law only allows tickets for human drivers, though a new state law next year will let violations be reported to the DMV. Waymo says it is reviewing the “glitch.” The incident sparked viral debate over how to hold self-driving cars accountable.

The world is a dumpster fire, confirmed. Following California's landmark AI safety bill SB 53, the head of Nvidia is allegedly "quaking in his boots"—which is a good sign, unlike the news that the "Nirvana Baby" Spencer Elden's lawsuit was finally dismissed. Meanwhile, corporate America continues its pivot to chaos: Spotify shuffled its execs, Meta is charging UK users for ad-free Facebook and Instagram, and the UK is introducing digital ID cards (Hello, Mark of the Beast). The entire internet is now dominated by bots, proving the Cracker Barrel logo outrage was manufactured, a fact that's somehow less depressing than the FCC accidentally leaking iPhone schematics. Naturally, Alphabet just paid $22 million to settle President Trump's YouTube lawsuit, confirming that legal threats are the new VC funding. Disney is panicking over an "AI Actress," sending cease and desist letters to Character.AI, while OpenAI rolls out its new Sora app and ChatGPT's ability to buy things for you, proving it's determined to turn the internet into one seamless, copyright-infringing shopping mall, and it's now worth more than Elon Musk's SpaceX.The ensuing boredom demands new media, though the pacing is terrible in everything: Slow Horses Season 5 and Human: Neanderthal Encounters are great, but even the original Matrix and Frankenstein trailer (by Guillermo del Toro) feel slow, confirming the Princess Bride litmus test. MXV's Riot Fest photos were rad, and Disney lost 1.7M subs after suspending Kimmel, which is why YouTube Music is testing AI hosts (who will only be wrong), and the Pivot Tour is happening. Our Apps & Doohickeys department confirms security is an afterthought: macOS 26 unlocked the Journal app, but the smart glasses race is fully on, and Logitech's new keyboard can be recharged by any light (finally, tech that works!). Amazon Fire TV is expected to ditch Android for Linux, Meta introduced the AI-filled Vibes feed, and Tile trackers were found to have a stalking flaw—a fact only slightly more depressing than the swift failure of the Neon call-recording app and the continued existence of the Comet browser. Finally, The Dark Side with Dave celebrated the low-budget charm of Blue Thunder and the necessity of Disney Park Ride Overlays, while Dave embarked on his quest to unbox the Home Depot R2D2.

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, a new poll reveals how Pennsylvania Dems feel about John Fetterman bucking his party. Fetterman's approval ratings flip dramatically as Republicans embrace the Pennsylvania Democrat. Also the wealth of the nation's billionaires, audio from Chris Cuomo on being wrong and Cracker Barrel ends it's relationship with re-branding firm Prophet.

In this episode, we dive deep into a storm of national and international issues shaking our society. From the heart-wrenching case of Logan Federico and the abuse of suspended sentences in South Carolina, to Cracker Barrel's controversial San Francisco-led rebrand, we explore how outrage, policy failures, and political games collide. We also examine the chilling rise of “censorship police” in the UK, the targeting of innocent citizens for speaking out, and the contrast between selective enforcement and street violence celebrations. Back home, Portland becomes a case study in left-wing lawlessness as antifas and black bloc groups exploit weak policing, while Democrats manipulate systems for political gain. Finally, we unpack the truth behind Medicaid funding for undocumented immigrants, exposing the disconnect between political narratives and federal data. This episode is a frontline report on accountability, justice, and the stakes of political hypocrisy in America and beyond.

This episode takes a hard look at two unfolding stories—Cracker Barrel's disastrous San Francisco-led rebrand and the growing free speech crackdown in the UK. From a restaurant chain alienating its Southern roots to “speech police” raiding homes in the middle of the night over tweets criticizing Hamas, we explore how culture, censorship, and political double standards are colliding. We cover Jewish couples murdered in hate crimes, Islamists celebrating in the streets, and even a 75-year-old woman arrested for silently offering support outside an abortion clinic. What do these stories have in common? A warning about where selective outrage, weaponized laws, and government-backed speech policing can lead—and why Donald J. Trump's supporters see him as the last line of defense.

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject more fully. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly discuss the bot attack on Cracker Barrel during its abortive name change imbroglio. They explore the notion that social media risk is not a new concept, but rather an amplifier of existing risks for companies. It discusses the heightened potential for misinformation about a company's values and how social media platforms have magnified this risk. Regulatory measures and accountability issues are addressed, with a nod to the role of prominent figures like Elon Musk. The episode underscores the inevitable, albeit unfair, reality of managing these amplified risks in today's digital landscape. Key highlights: Introduction to Social Media Risks Amplification of Existing Risks Challenges in Managing Misconceptions The Unavoidable Reality of Social Media Accountability Resources: Matt on Radical Compliance Tom Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter LinkedIn A multi-award-winning podcast, Compliance into the Weeds was most recently honored as one of the Top 25 Regulatory Compliance Podcasts, a Top 10 Business Law Podcast, and a Top 12 Risk Management Podcast. Compliance into the Weeds has been honored with a Davey, Communicator, and W3 Award for podcast excellence. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, JT and Producer Jonas dive into the idea of personal branding—not for a business, but for your life. Just like a company (e.g. Cracker Barrel), you are known by your values, consistency, and the way you show up both in private and public. Discover how to clarify your identity, resist chasing trends, and build a personal brand of consistency, rooted in long-term respect rather than short-term applause.LEARN MORE:Website: https://greatman.tv/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatman.tv/Support GreatMan: https://greatman.tv/greatman-global/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
