Bob Kevoian
A great way to get your morning started. This is Bob and Tom Extra. We have Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk. Disney World fans. And I'm one of them. There's of course in what? It's no longer MGM now it's what, the Hollywood Film Studio section of Disney World.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Yeah, I think it's Hollywood Studios.
Tom Griswold
Hollywood Studios, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. And that's the home of what was the home of the Aerosmith tribute roller coaster.
Tom Griswold
Rock and roll roller coaster.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
That's a good time.
Tom Griswold
Oh, it was a great time. But say goodbye to Aerosmith. Hello, Muppets. I'll take the Muppets band. Electric Mayhem is taking over Disney's Rock and Roller Coaster. According to Disney Parks, the coaster will have a colorful new crew who will put their own spin on not just the ride itself, but also the iconic guitar that adorns the exterior, as well as some of the iconic scenery around Hollywood Studios. Rock and Roller Coaster starring the Muppets, set to make its debut next year in 2026.
Bob Kevoian
All right, so I may forgive them for shutting down. One of my favorite things at Disney world, the Muppet 3D movie.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
I know. Why can't they do both? Was great.
Tom Griswold
That was.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
You walked into the Muppet Show Theater. I loved it. Yeah, I did, too.
Bob Kevoian
They had the. The two guy. The two puppets. Up high.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Yes. Statler and Waldorf were sitting up in the balcony. Oh, really?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, yeah.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
That's cool.
Bob Kevoian
And then. And then I. It's not a spoiler alert anymore. Then this. One of the creatures would come flying out, running down.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Swed would come out, or, hey, what do you. Oh, sweet.
Bob Kevoian
And there. And they had the 3D. You put on the 3D glasses. And I would go. Every time. I bet. I bet I've seen it 25 times.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Yeah, it's awesome.
Tom Griswold
And they go, cool.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
But you know me. I'm also a big fan of the hall of Presidents.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, it's so cool. And what I loved about it was it. It gets politicized depending in the crowd. You know, certain people would clap for John F. Kennedy. Certain people would boo for Nixon. People would clap for him.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Yeah, people can't. They can't help themselves.
Bob Kevoian
Plus, it was air conditioned.
Tom Griswold
I never did the hall of President.
Bob Kevoian
So I could never get anybody. I don't have to do it by myself. No one would ever go in with me.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Of course, I've done it a couple times. It really is a nice blast of air conditioning.
Bob Kevoian
Their rope update.
Guest or Additional Panelist
The way it worked, though, it was pretty idler.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
It's not bad. Would they move?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
But very soon, kind of give speeches and talk a little bit and then sit back down. Did the Biden one wander off?
Tom Griswold
Four to one, fall down.
Bob Kevoian
There is a video. There's a video somewhere on the Internet, one of them actually falling over. I forget which one. But they. As they introduce them, the Presidents all nod.
Tom Griswold
Oh, my husband.
Bob Kevoian
And. And they're. They're giant robot dummies, whatever you call them.
Tom Griswold
Animatronics. Yeah.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
I like robot dummies better. I mean, it just.
Bob Kevoian
It's so. It's. I just think it's cool. And. Yeah. And then I. Of course, years ago, I proposed the hall of Vice president. Much less popular. But I forget which one gives a speech.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
But I feel like Lincoln says something.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I think it would be Lincoln.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
When I saw it, I'm sure he said something.
Bob Kevoian
There's kind of a little. There's a video before, like a cartoon thing and. But it's.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
It is a nice break from the sun. How long does it last? Forever?
Guest or Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Maybe 20 minutes.
Bob Kevoian
And it wouldn't be a Disney World without getting. And I have actually been stuck in It's a Small World on several occasions. But. But that's fun too. They're all great. And I. I love Pirates of the Caribbean. You know, they changed that around.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Pirates of the Caribbean. It used to be one of the pirates was chasing a maiden.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
They switched that up.
Tom Griswold
Chasing a pig.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, they thought it was.
Guest or Additional Panelist
That's a mean thing to say about the maiden.
Tom Griswold
Interesting replacement. I think it's a pig. Right? Am I wrong?
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
So now the pirates are trying to have sex with a pig.
Bob Kevoian
No, no, they're just.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
They made it. They inadvertently made it way worse.
Guest or Additional Panelist
Yeah, they chase each other.
Bob Kevoian
I suppose it was probably time to phase out the Aerosmith thing anyway.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I mean, it was a lot of fun, though. My favorite baseball cap is from there. The Aerosmith roller coaster.
Guest or Additional Panelist
Love on a roller coaster.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
I remember my. My. I think Finn was 10. We went over to that thing and she goes, who's that old lady with the big mouth? That's Steven Tyler.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Yeah. Yeah. That's about. She's not wrong.
Tom Griswold
She's not.
Bob Kevoian
Great band.
Tom Griswold
Speaking of change, I don't know if you've been in a cracker barrel lately, but they have changed up, I've heard. Yeah. They've also changed their new logo.
Bob Kevoian
Really?
Tom Griswold
They have a new logo? Yeah. Fans are outraged about it.
Bob Kevoian
This is because people are morons.
Tom Griswold
The design ditches the icon of the man leaning on a barrel as well as the words old country store, leaving just simple text on a gold background.
Bob Kevoian
It's not.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Let me look at this.
Tom Griswold
Which also has a. There you go.
Bob Kevoian
There it is up there.
Tom Griswold
So there you go.
Bob Kevoian
It's. Yeah. It's virtually the same, except the old man and the barrel are gone.
Tom Griswold
The Tennessee based company says its new logo is rooted even more closely to the iconic barrel shape and word mark that started it all. Following the announcement, furious fans took to social media to complain.
Bob Kevoian
If you're furious about this, well, maybe. Maybe listen to the news for a while. Maybe you're furious about something real in the world.
Tom Griswold
If you haven't been In a cracker barrel late. Lately they have changed. They took out all the. They had a lot of. Kind of like the Fridays had a lot of stuff on the walls and antiques. It was really cool. Yeah. Everything is agreeable, gray like. It's just. They've rebranded and remodeled restaurants and some call it soulless and sterile. 100%. They've opened. They. On the front porch. Yes. They've opened up where it used to be a wall. They've opened that all up so you can see all the way through the restaurant.
Bob Kevoian
I'm concerned. I think the term cracker could be perceived as being politically incorrect.
Tom Griswold
Who doesn't like a good cracker?
Bob Kevoian
I think they're referencing hillbillies. I, for one.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
You're glad to see the change. Are you going to see more change? Apparently, yes.
Tom Griswold
I love my cracker barrel.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
I. Look, this is totally unnecessary, but I'm with Tom. If this has ruined your month, relax a little bit. But the reason people get so upset about stuff like this, Tom, is because they do watch the news and they want to break from that with something familiar and unchanged. And now when the familiar changes.
Bob Kevoian
And for you, let's face it, Josh, Cracker barrel is like the bat signal.
Tom Griswold
There's a cracker.
Bob Kevoian
That logo. When it's.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Well, as a. Yeah. A guy who's lived on the road most of my life, that was a. That was like a call from mom, big comedian thing. That was a very comforting.
Tom Griswold
There was a cracker barrel near me that has changed to a K town, which is a Korean. Like a hot pot barbecue place now. But the thing they didn't change is when you go to the restroom on the sign on the back of the door, it's still the old cracker barrel logo. Please wash your hands or whatever.
Audience Member 2
Really.
Bob Kevoian
You could have a coffee table book of places that changed to something else. Like the Dairy Queen over here. That's not taekwondo. A taekwondo studio. But you can still tell from the way the sign is configured.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
You don't often see a closed cracker barrel.
Tom Griswold
I know, that's. It was shocking.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
I'm more upset I didn't get a chance to like. What'd they do with all that cool stuff?
Tom Griswold
Exactly what I want.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Some of that stuff.
Tom Griswold
I wonder what they did with it.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
I want an old time plow. Yeah, I would love one of those for my house. What do they do? What is cracker? Why the decision?
Tom Griswold
I don't know.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Did they learn nothing from Bud Light? It's like. It's like everything somebody has to look like they're working.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Oh, what'd you do this year? Oh, I. I changed the logo. Oh, we're. We're changing it to more modern. We're just gonna serve new Coke. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Maybe there's a museum somewhere that has the. The band from Chuck E. Cheese, the cool stuff hanging from the ceilings at Fridays.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
And Cracker Barrel, as long as they have that hash brown casserole, you could tear down all the walls.
Bob Kevoian
I want a Charleston Chew now. Pat, what do you think about changing the logo of Cracker Barrel?
Guest or Additional Panelist
Cracker Barrel logo. I don't care. What's the controversy? I don't care. They removed the. Dude. I don't care. I like their chicken and dumplings.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Yes. I get. It's my favorite restaurant. Cracker Barrel is my favorite of the franchise chain restaurants. And, oh, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
You're gonna find this hard to believe. I've never been in one.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
I don't find that hard to believe at all.
Tom Griswold
I wanted to take you so many times.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
How many times have we said, oh, yeah, you got to see that movie, and he sees it and craps all over.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
That's why you think I'm gonna ruin it for you?
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Well, no. I don't let you ruin things for me anymore.
Guest or Additional Panelist
What should Tom order? What should Tom order, though, if we were to take him? Because I can't think of something that.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
I don't know, because I don't think.
Tom Griswold
He'D like the hash brown cast.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
I kind of don't know.
Bob Kevoian
His PA have meatloaf.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
See, I'm a big. I'm in for that then.
Tom Griswold
They have great grilled chicken tenders.
Bob Kevoian
I love those. Do they have mashed potatoes?
Tom Griswold
Yes. Green beans? I don't think I've had anything but breakfast there. Oh, really? Yeah. I've never had any other meal there.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Interesting.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Their chicken tenders are amazing. And you'd love. They're marinated and they're grilled good.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, and what is a Cracker Barrel? Is that a thing?
Tom Griswold
Yes, a barrel that you do. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
I mean, it's that simple.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And they have stuff you love, like all the old, old timey candies from your childhood.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
And do they still have Charles chips?
Tom Griswold
Right.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
What have they done with the store?
Tom Griswold
I know they still have the store.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Yeah. You can get Charles chips in the can.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Just like they had delivered when we were kids. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
It's crazy, but Charles chips in the can sounds like a sex move.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
I'd happily go with you, though. I'd happily treat you to maybe one of these days.
Guest or Additional Panelist
Why don't we do a luncheon that. And film it.
Bob Kevoian
Okay, we'll do it. Thank you very much. Christy Lee is right over there in the stripes, and she is at what we like to call the Silac Insurance Company news desk.
Tom Griswold
Okay. And I did find an update for you, Jeff. A lot of stuff was reused, but most of it was sold to a third party. They don't say who. Okay. All the old timey decor.
Bob Kevoian
Wouldn't they put a sign up and say, we're selling everything?
Tom Griswold
And I would think you'd have a great. Yeah. Well, who's gonna step it up?
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Who's gonna become the. Who's gonna have all that stuff on their walls?
Guest or Additional Panelist
Now, remember Fridays, they all had all that stuff, too. Ladies did that. Two ladies bought all that stuff.
Tom Griswold
What?
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Yeah. Interesting.
Guest or Additional Panelist
For the whole country.
Tom Griswold
And then they just sold everything on ebay again.
Guest or Additional Panelist
I don't know what they did, man.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Wild.
Bob Kevoian
They just bulldozed the Fridays near here.
Tom Griswold
I know. What are they putting there? Do you know?
Bob Kevoian
I don't know.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
They had some good stuff.
Guest or Additional Panelist
They pay paradise and put in the parking lot.
Bob Kevoian
Is Ruby Tuesday still.
Guest or Additional Panelist
No, it's not.
Tom Griswold
I don't think so.
Bob Kevoian
Because they had the best salad bar, right?
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Absolutely they did. For a while there, man, it was just a treat that. Those homemade pumpernickel.
Guest or Additional Panelist
Unless you got behind two old ladies who discussed everything. You ever have that happen?
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Every time I went to Ruby Tuesday.
Guest or Additional Panelist
Cherry tomatoes. I think I'm gonna try a cherry.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
I just figured they worked it every Ruby Tuesday.
Guest or Additional Panelist
Gladys, what does spinach taste?
Bob Kevoian
They're like. They're the. They're the wives of the two guys at Disney World in the balcony.
Guest or Additional Panelist
I would honestly get Waldorf.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Come on. What are these? Raisins?
Guest or Additional Panelist
Do you put the raisins on this?
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Now I've seen everything, I think.
Bob Kevoian
And then when they set up the salad bar, I think the guy takes the thousand island dressing ladle and puts it in the ranch just so.
Guest or Additional Panelist
Why are the croutons brown?
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Oh, this is something. Shirley.
Bob Kevoian
You think? Because I know. I know. We're living in a culture now in which a lot of the places there's no chat, you check out by yourself, which I like.
Guest or Additional Panelist
I do, too.
Bob Kevoian
But I know I've always said this. My aunt used to always go shopping just so she could talk to other human beings because she was kind of a spinster.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
And here she comes again.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, but I mean, are they gonna. Is AI gonna start doing that? Is the. Is the machine gonna recognize you and go oh, hi, Florence. How are you today?
Guest or Additional Panelist
At some point, you know what?
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Probably, maybe.
Bob Kevoian
Did you find everything you were looking for?
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
There have been movies like that where you walk in the store, they go, hey, Tom, how are you? Nice to see you again. I mean, there's a chance.
Bob Kevoian
Hey, like the haircut. You're keeping the sideburns.
Tom Griswold
Huh?
Bob Kevoian
What happened to your ear?
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
How's your dog? There was a while I would. Every time I walked into a cvs, I would get a notification from Walgreens.
Tom Griswold
No. Yes.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
You know, we have this on. And I went delete.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, yeah, we. They've kind of cut back on the length of the receipt there, Right? At cvs, that thing. They got the message.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. When you do self checkout, you can just choose not to get a receipt.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Oh, yeah, that's good.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
But I'm a big fan of the self checkout.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah?
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Yeah.
Guest or Additional Panelist
It's easy. It's easy to shoplift.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
No, it's not.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Oh, it is. I'll show you how to do it. You want to come over tonight for some lobster tails?
Bob Kevoian
So this thing, back to. I'm sorry. For back to the Cracker Barrel thing. They. They call this rebranding, huh?
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Yeah. You see, it. I mean, it happens. And there's always backlash.
Tom Griswold
They're trying to modernize, like everything else.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
But that's the joy of cracker. And again, I'm not outraged. Things happen, and there's no reason to be great. But I do prefer the old I. It was always a comfort. Yeah. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And I also, the one I go to. I don't know if this is for all of them. I think they've replaced the wooden fireplace with gas now. Don't quote me on that.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
What?
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Now I'm out. Do they still have an egg game?
Tom Griswold
What?
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Do they still have the egg game on the table?
Tom Griswold
They do.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Okay, then I'm fine.
Bob Kevoian
But the peg game, to be clear, is.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
Well, it depends on where you play it.
Tom Griswold
It's this guy behind the dumpster. The golf tea game. You've seen the golf tea game, right?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.

Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
It's just 85 year old men look in there kind of wiping tears.
Guest or Additional Panelist
I miss Uncle Ben.
Bob Kevoian
And they change the taste too.
Tommy (Tom Griswold's Co-host)
I tell you what, it's those liberals. Look at this. They're selling Washington Redskins jersey.

Host: The BOB & TOM Show (Tom Griswold, Bob Kevoian, "Tommy"/Co-host, Christy Lee, plus additional panelists)
This episode of Bob and Tom Extra zeroes in on nostalgia and change, zooming in on two icons of American leisure: Disney World and Cracker Barrel. The hosts share a lively, humorous back-and-forth about shifts happening at these beloved institutions—Disney's reimagining of its Aerosmith roller coaster into a Muppets-themed ride, and Cracker Barrel's new minimalist logo and remodeling. The team also riffs on restaurant culture, branding, and the emotional reactions that come with change, all delivered with classic Bob and Tom wit.
