Hour 3 - Corporate Wokeness vs. Brand Loyalty

Hour 3 - Corporate Wokeness vs. Brand Loyalty Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show wraps up the week with a lively mix of cultural commentary, political analysis, and audience interaction. The hour kicks off with reactions to earlier discussions on cannabis and mental health, before pivoting to a major trending topic: Cracker Barrel’s controversial rebrand. Clay and Buck blast the company’s $700 million marketing overhaul, arguing that corporate America’s obsession with “woke branding” alienates loyal customers. They compare this misstep to other brand disasters like Bud Light and Disney, emphasizing the importance of knowing your customer and citing Domino’s successful turnaround as an example of honesty and quality-driven strategy. The conversation then shifts to Democratic Party credibility issues, spotlighting a viral interview where Charlemagne tha God grills former DNC Chair Jamie Harrison for misleading voters about President Biden’s performance. Clay and Buck criticize political “code-switching” and inauthenticity, calling out politicians who adopt fake accents or personas to pander to voters. Next, the hosts welcome Mary Katharine Ham, Fox News contributor and co-host of the “Normally” podcast, for a wide-ranging discussion. Topics include corporate disconnect from everyday Americans, the backlash against Cracker Barrel’s leadership, and the cultural significance of college football as a unifying force. They also tackle parental responsibility in preventing tragedies, stressing that parents must secure firearms and monitor mental health when warning signs are present—especially in light of recent shootings. Ham and the hosts slam media outlets for prioritizing ideology over facts, particularly in coverage of cases involving transgender shooters. The hour closes on a lighter note with a spirited debate about jersey etiquette and autograph culture. Clay argues that grown men shouldn’t wear jerseys of athletes significantly younger than them or compete with kids for autographs, sparking passionate listener calls and humorous anecdotes.
