However, make sure you’re getting angry for the right reasons, and read The Cracker Barrel Conundrum before you fire off any reply or commentary....

We also ran long, with a full fifth segment as we talked with Amanda Lewan and Ebrahim Varachia. Amanda’s been on our show a couple of times in the past, t...
