We talked a little bit about how the Burger King owner a little while ago bought Popeyes for more than $1.6 billion. Okay? And good for them.
Starting point is 00:01:23 And hopefully they change a couple of things. I mean, Popeyes is okay. I used to know someone that was in love with Popeye So I actually The chicken is pretty good The biscuits are pretty good They need to work on the gravy The gravy, whatever they do
Starting point is 00:01:37 The Popeye's white gravy is But anyway So this week, speaking of Burger King They did something that I thought was tremendous I thought it was a great idea I guess they did this without Trying to partner up with Google which was a mistake,
Starting point is 00:01:58 why not have partner up with Google so that Google could give you some kind of love and maybe, you know, if you actually, if the Google now actually fired up and you follow it all the way through, if you use, you know, code dash 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, you get a free whopper, something.
Starting point is 00:02:14 You know, something, partner up with Google so you get the coupon and the okay Google now and it would start giving people a reason to get Google now and perhaps sell some more, right? But hey, Go-bye. Just an idiot, right?
Starting point is 00:02:29 But they ran this ad, and I love the idea. You're watching a 15-second Burger King ad, which is unfortunately not enough time to explain all the fresh ingredients in the Wopper sandwich. But I got an idea. Okay, Google, what is the Wopper burger? According to Wikipedia, the Wopper is a burger, consisting of a flame-grilled patty made with 100% beef with no preservatives or fillers, topped with sliced tomatoes, onions.
Starting point is 00:02:59 lettuce, pickles, ketchup, and mayonnaise served on a sesame seed bun. Now, of course, you internet trollers could not have that be. You couldn't let that stand, could you? No. So people went into Wikipedia and changed the insert. Cyanide is one of the ingredients. It's kind of funny. And also it said the Whopper is the worst hamburger product.
Starting point is 00:03:31 sold by the chain. So if I, I guess, they locked up Wikipedia later in the day, so there were no new edits. And by Wednesday, Google deactivated the ads ability to trigger home devices. That's why you should have went with Google.
Starting point is 00:03:48 It was a great idea. I loved it. I really did. I thought it was a tremendous idea. I think doing it without the, without the okay from Google, without the partnership from Google was a mistake.
Starting point is 00:04:02 but the idea tremendous and they should go back and work on a deal with Google so nobody else does it before Burger King because Burger King had the idea and damn it! They should be the first to make it work. 2017 is going to be a volatile economic year. We may see politicians throughout the world
