Welcome to the Holidays, darling. Day 1 of our 12 episode series explores the fast food kingdom with those golden arches. Las Culturistas agree; "This was a day of cultural history, this gift." The girls discuss why McDonald's is culturally significant, how it relates to their stupid lives, and play Marry, Fuck, Kill with figures within the McDonald's canon. Do YOU think they should give two hash browns instead of one with McDonald's breakfast? Do you have a go-to meal or do you shake it up each time, order-wise? If you don't listen to this episode?

A show about the ways that mental illness is shaped by not just biology. Swaps of different meds. But by culture and society. By looking closely at the conditions that cause mental distress, I find out why so many of us are struggling to feel sane, what we can do about it, and why we should care. Listen to Basket Case every Tuesday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Steve Byrne. We are Two Cool Moms. We certainly are.

Yeah, you can find us wherever you listen to your we're here at iHeart yeah you can find us wherever you listen to your podcasts or on the iHeart radio app look man oh i see my oh my oh and look over there wow is that culture yes goodness wow las culturistas ding dong las culturistas calling this one's a special one, wouldn't you say? A little unexpected, maybe more special. It's seasonal at the very least.

Seasonal! You know, we love to give gifts to the readers. I forgot what they were called. We... I forgot what you guys were called. We call you the readers, not the Las Culturistas, but that's us. Sorry, that's us. We should just say some magnetically weird things are happening in the world.

Go off. Hot executive producer Anna's power just went out in her parents' house. She's joining us from her folks' home. Matt just got an order of some food that he did not enjoy. No! How dare you? Oh, my God. No, you're blackening my name in the village.

I'm not doing anything. Well, because I came on the Zoom with a concern that now that we've done an ad for the McRib, I was, okay, I'm just going to come out and say it because you have- You're going to want to cut this out. Just do it. No, I'm not no i'm not i'm not i because i asked the producers i said we did an ad for the mcrib for the mcdonald's mcrib and as a result of doing that you can't do it on air yes i can it's on air well are you okay i i have to say it now i think the mcrib is fine i i meanwhile it's not it's not what i would order

and you love it which is amazing it's not that i'm not going to go to mcdonald's ever again it's not a sort of criticism of mcdonald's i'm just saying that it's not going to be what i order when i go there each day not that i go each day ah hold on on pause real fast I do think we should cut this out and not talk about this because then it steps on the big reveal that the first day of culture is there being McDonald's or is the big reveal even funnier well now we've already revealed it

but you said cut this out I feel like we should just keep it I feel like it gives it away I also don't want to potentially compromise but Bowen I just want you to know that you are the one that brought us here because you said matt got some food that he didn't like and then i felt compelled to once i give once i'm given the assist i have to give the spike you're right okay all right but let's let's let's for let's just in case for safety let's just reset okay. Okay. Okay. From the top. No, no, no, no, no, no. Well, if you want to, I was going to pick up from Anna's.

Pick it up. Yeah. Anna is working in like a power outage situation. On explained phenomenon. On explained phenomenon. Han's hot exit, hot head of content. Hot. No.

Let's keep all this. Wait. I think we should. I think we should. I think we should. We have to keep going. This is unhinged. Guys, we're giving you a special gift this holiday season, which is 12-

Transparency. Transparency. This was the most chaotic. Okay, tell them what we're giving. This really is the most chaotic we've ever been on. This is what I'm- Can I just say real real real quick oh my god it's so unhinged what the fact that we are four years into this podcast

celebrate it on year five if you want to think of it that way and we are still we are still giving you um we're still out doing ourselves in the buffoonery gotta hand it to us you thought it stopped at 200 moments in culture oh no bitch we're gonna record 12 episodes in a row this is so stupid you're literally working at the most stressful job in entertainment and we're like let's do this

we wanna die it was our idea because we love the readers so much. Truly. We're recording this in the week that everyone's Spotify raps came out. And I think a lot of podcasters are feeling emotional about their podcasts being listened to. You know what? That is very real.

It's so special. I will say that it has been such a constant for me throughout. Really, this whole, of course, quarantine. But this whole chunk of time in our lives, like I've just loved doing it so much. And to see that so many people still care so much or are starting to care about the podcast. That's very cool. And it has been very touching and bone and I have been texting each other

saying we were a mosh. So thank you for, thank you for listening. Thank you for, you for listening thank you for um you know inviting us in in whatever way was personal to you and you accept us and seeing and seeing us you accept us and you see us and as diablo cody said in her oscar speech you love me just the way I am. Remember that? That dress was wonderful. Oh, I loved it. And you know,

you want to know some tea? What? Actually, I don't know if I can say this. You probably can't. Well, we got to cut this out and yet we're doing the most chaotic episode

we've ever done. Let's just say this. I've seen Diablo Cody's Oscar in real life. Oh, great. That's cool. It was used in a performance I watched. Oh my God, That's cool. It was used in a performance I watched.

Oh, my God. I love that. Love it. And the drag act. Anyway, but yes, sorry. So we're recording this in the week of Spotify Wrapped. Thank you for listening. Thank you.

But what we're doing now is we are releasing, starting on December 10th, 2020, we're releasing a new half hour-ish episode every single weekday until Christmas day on Friday, December 25th. Weekends off. Okay, weekends off. You guys have weekends off. The readers, weekends off.

So do we. But this is required listening if you're a reader. Required. But if you don't read this, you're not doing the syllabus, okay? And it's actually a rule of culture. You must do the syllabus. Rule of culture. Number.

Which one was that? 96. Yes. Rule of culture. Number 96. You must read the syllabus. So this is 12 days of culture. We are going to be highlighting one date in history.

Yes. Cultural history. I i'm sorry it's our culture which is different different um we're doing one day cultural history started at the renaissance 1492 that's right 1492 was the start of the resident residence so that's when culture started you understand you understand you understand it's 1492. The Renaissance was like 1492. That's like something one of my aunts would have said when I was little. Yeah, the Renaissance, 1492 on, onward from that point on. Oh my God. Can I start?

We're so off the rails here. We're unhinged. Go what? I was talking to a friend, a guy who... A friend, a guy. Okay, yes, it was a guy no no no I meant to say a straight guy who went on a date with this girl who

I'm already laughing was from Long Island and so it was a lovely time he married her like recently I guess it was some event it was like over the summer it It was like,

yeah, I'm going to go home and watch like this thing. Do you want to come with? And then she just went, uh, yeah, I guess that's something that could be interesting. Oh yeah,

I guess that's something that could be interesting. Or no, she said, um, uh, yeah, that, that,

that is, that don't sound like anything i've ever done before like something like it was truly like a fucking hack job marissa tomei character and it i but that person exists hold on oh no the thing about long island is people will just talk more to say just the word yes or no whatever just to hear themselves do it that's very the spirit of that's the spirit of long island that region sorry what were we talking about oh we're doing one day in cultural history for every episode in this special segment series i should say yeah and what and then what are we

doing matt so basically each of these days of culture culture history is of course 1492 onward each of these days gave birth to a gift that was a gift to us okay so these are each day 12 days of culture throughout time culture history these are the most 12 most important days of culture because they gave us these gifts and today we are giving you the gift of the first day of culture. On the first day of culture. It was. What was it? August 18th, 1953. The first McDonald's opens its doors.

So at this point, you may or may not know the the the matt ordered a mcrib i didn't order it oh she did not we are doing an ad for the mcrib which everyone should go out and try okay i tried it because we did the ad it's not what what I would order at McDonald's. Okay. I love it so much. That's great. I'm so happy you do. And I think everyone should go out and try the McRib. This is me pushing sales for McDonald's.

And try it yourself. And if you decide that the number two, or not the number two anymore, it was the number two RIP, but two cheeseburgers and a large friend, a a dr pepper is good for you then that's wonderful that's what i'm deciding but if you love the mcrib i celebrate yes okay but this is august 13th 1953 august 18th i'm sorry 1953 august 18th 1953 the day the first mcdonald's opened its doors this was a day of culture history this gift a day of gifts why was it

this was a day of cultural history um that's the statement that's the statement every every day no it's can't be talk about why mcdonald's is such a dream talk about why mcdonald's is such a culturally iconic gift picture this okay picture this you get out of school and it's the winter and it's like it's the kind of day where it's like by the time you get out of school, it's like dark out. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

You have a fuck ton of homework to do. Like a lot. Like that day, it was just like every teacher just leaned on you for some reason. No one was communicating. Like all the teachers gave too much homework. And you had after school, you had practice or rehearsal for whatever it is you were doing. So this was like a day. now you have to do this homework and also you know what tonight mom actually isn't cooking so where are you in your big jacket in a thick line getting ready to get that fast dinner that

satisfying fast dinner this scene i'm painting for you is tied directly to my and then getting that little warm bag after waiting for so long that little warm brown bag full of you know what stuff that tastes good it might not be real quote-unquote real meat and what does that mean anyway what does that mean anyway and the soda might be i guess i don't know people will say flat i don't really know what that means but you know what it was gonna go inside your gullet it's gonna eventually after a time hit that indigestion and you are going to be digested and leaning over your work diligently with the energy to finish your task and go to bed happy and wake up still snatched. That is why, Queen, McDonald's reigns supreme of the day of culture.

First day. Oh my god. The proclamation with which you delivered that i have never seen you so passionately deliver wow wait hold on i felt like omar omarosa manigault newman i's how i felt i'm crying that was omarosa level that was wow thank you folks that was a performance oh my god we might have to release we might have to release the crackin aka the video oh my god i want you to give me sort of like that was as vivid a McDonald's

experience and forget about when you get it for breakfast. Okay, when you get it for breakfast, that's a treat and a half. Forget it. Bacon bacon, egg and cheese on a muffin. No, on a biscuit. Forget it. It is a treat and a half. You know, I get two hash browns no matter

what. Because you know what? One hash browns no matter what because you know what one won't do one will never do one will never do and they should actually start giving two they should just give two okay i said okay challenge to them oh my god you know because you mcdonald's knows at this point i'm not giving it up easy okay i'll do the ad sure but once i turn around and you see the real real me the dr jackal i'm gonna say what i think about the mcgrib dr jackal dr jackal was the the the other good one the no no no dr jackal was the good one wait Mr. Hyde I'm sorry but can I say something Dr. Jekyll sounds like the evil guy

sorry to the writer that's just like you being culturally programmed to think that scientists are evil which is very anti-intellectual of you that must be what that is sorry I hate being anti-intellectual I know that must be what that is sorry sorry i hate being anti-intellectual

i know you do tell me what was your prompt to me uh well my prompt to you is i want you to specifically draw out for us what your life's sense memory with mcdonald's is um for me it was moving from very cold, frigid, dry climb of Montreal, Quebec, and then moving to the other cold, frigid, dry climb of Aurora, Colorado. And thinking, and yet still thinking, wow, this is a shock to me. A shock to me culturally even. And I thought nothing around me looks familiar. I don't recognize these streets, these people, these faces. Show me something familiar for a change, why don't you?

Lest I try and walk out this door of this country right now. I'll cross the damn border myself by foot as a nine-year-old. Yes. Go off. We're looking at houses with my parents who have done a lot of work talking to a broker. A real estate agent. Exhausting work. Exhausting work.

They don't want to make lunch. No. No, not today. So where do they go? We pull up to the McDonald's. They don't want to make lunch. No, not today. So where do they go? We pull up to the McDonald's on Arapahoe Road next to the Dickies Barbecue across from the Kia dealership. Of course. And we see those golden arches.

They're a gateway. They're a gateway in the literal sense, in the sort of color story of it all. Organic, warm, inviting colors, yellow and red, baby. And you go, honey, I'm home. Yes. Let's press on towards those arches, for we know the spoils that that trove holds prayers and what did i order filet of fish for the mom for my mom i should say oh that took me that took me out girl that took you away there's a special kind of person that orders filet-o-fish if you fuck if you fuck with the tartar sauce mcdonald's you're a good person you're a good person you're a good person congratulations

congratulations good one my dad would order just whatever chaotic thing he was in the mood for that day sometimes it'd be a salad shaker remember those sometimes? He would order a different thing. Like he was someone who was open to different things. Well, my dad's only like, my dad was only very McDonald's like 10 times his entire life. So of those 10 times, I don't really remember consistent order. Like a

thematic order. Yeah. Yang, my sister, would always get a Big Mac. That's, I I'll never understand. I used to be a Big Mac. Oh, that's, I'll never understand. I used to be a Big Mac person, and then at college, switched to the two cheeseburger. Oh. That's the way. You gotta.

That's the way. That's the way, and I'll also shock everyone in the house by saying, another option, the double cheeseburger. Sometimes, two of them. You did not just. Oh oh i just really went there i said that if you want a big mac volume and you find yourself gravitating more towards the two cheeseburger situation like me and my very close sister bowen then perhaps what you're saying really is you're ready to compromise America.

Hmm. Don't do that. Centrist. Centrist. When it comes to McDonald's, it might be time to sort of move into double cheeseburger territory.

Now, the chicken of it all. Talk to me about your McDonald's chicken. No, I want you to tell me. Because I feel like, you know, there's much. I'm a meat burger person. And I feel like you might be erring more towards some chicken sometimes. I always love some chicken. And look, when it comes to McDonald's chicken,

didn't we all love it before? And then Food Inc. comes out and everyone's like it's made of pink slime no guess what guess what happened what happened fucking nothing because we all love that pink slime and as long as you know that it's pink slime it don't change the fact yeah that we still love to eat it guess what bitch if you have a problem back then with the pink slime and now you find yourself sort of nibbling on nuggets you actually didn't learn anything from those films that were made about mcdonald's like what's the one with the guy who ate all the McDonald's food? Supersize me, honey.

You didn't learn anything from that. You didn't learn anything from Food, Inc. You didn't learn anything from anything Natalie Portman has literally ever said. Stop. Don't talk about Natalie. So get off your high horse forever, queen. Queen, here's the thing. If you did not learn anything from the movie food inc then you might as well not even watch a single documentary again yeah because your retention skills seem to be

very non-existent darling dear you don't have precious one precious one you don't have one precious one you don't have precious one precious one you're without precious one you're without girl that's that's the stupidest precious one you're without i mean readers feel free to use that next time you need a clap back you next time you needed to shut a young girl down just a precious one you're without i'm literally going to sell it to the next person that pisses me off and it's probably gonna be a mitch mcconnell girl yeah mitch mitch precious one you're without and he's gonna he's gonna not know what to say he's just to stand there like a puddle and be a puddle.

I'm NK, and this is Basket Case. So I basically had what back in the day they would call a nervous breakdown. I was crying and I was inconsolable. It was just very big, sudden swaps of different meds. What is wrong with me? Oh, look at you giving me therapy, girl. Finally, a show for the mentally ill girlies. On Basket Case, I talk to people about what happens when what we call mental health is shaped by the conditions of the world we live in.

Because if you haven't noticed, we are experiencing some kind of conditions that are pretty hard to live with. But if you struggle to cope, the society that created the conditions in the first place will tell you there's something wrong with you. And it will call you a basket case.

Listen to Haunting starting on October 22nd on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. podcasts can i ask a question that will i think cause a lot of maybe controversy amongst the readers okay yeah what do you feel about the access to and usage of mcdonald's play sets throughout childhood do you think they were something that spread disease like absolute wildfire? Or do you think that this was a moment in time that you miss and you use the play sets?

It was a moment in time when I would, the attraction and the draws, they say, would be McPlay Place. Wow. So you would maybe even want to go to one McDonald's over another, over their McPlay Place. Because one McPlay Place would have better architecture, you know? 100%. Now, I have a controversial question.

Go on. Mary Fuck Kill. Ronaldry, fuck, kill. Ronald McDonald. Oh gosh, it's already hard. Grimace. It's already hard to do what? Yeah, because I don't know whether I want to fuck him or marry him. Or kill him.

Because Ronald McDonald makes me crazy. He makes me sexually crazy. I do crazy things when I think about him. But keep going. But hold on. It's Ronald McDonald. Grimace. Fuck, this is so hard. This is tough for me. Grimace. Oh my God. He's so fucking hot. He's so hot. He's brutal.

Let me finish. Keep going. Keep going. Let me keep going. Finally. Finally. Okay. Hamburglar I'm on fire I'm on fucking fire in my chair it's crazy bitch oh my god I've never felt like this I can't believe I have to kill one of them when all I want to do is fucking tear every one of them apart with every part of me. I mean,

you're topping them. And it's so, so fucking hard to do this. I'm going to marry Ronald McDonald because he's got the money. And at the end of the day, that's what makes the world go around. Yeah. I'm going to fuck the Hamburglar because I know he's been in some sticky

situations. And mama, the scenario that I want us to play out can only be described as cops and robbers. It can only be described as, Mama, I'm in love with a criminal. That. I'll unfortunately have to kill Grimace because it's just negative energy. Which I do like sometimes in a vivid sexual way, but not tonight.

You like negative energy in a vivid sexual way? What does that mean? At times it has been, it has been at times. Okay. Well, thank you for, you've done it. You've answered my question. You've answered the prompt. Merry fuck kill, thank you. You've done it. You've answered my question. You've answered the prompt, Mary Fudd Kill. Thank you.

So as we move forward into today, what do you think of the way McDonald's stands in the world? The criticisms, the sort of attack, the attack by health groups on McDonald's. Health groups. Oh, my God. Well, my question is still standing, not answered. Yes. What do you think of McDonald's current standing in the world and the attacks by health groups

on McDonald's should they chill should they relax look look McDonald's is listening McDonald's has they've tried to solve these problems they've tried salads they've tried to solve these problems. They've tried salads.

They've tried apple slices. Are they healthy or not? Answer that question. They're healthy if you want to, if you want to get healthy out of it. That's, it's as simple as that. McDonald's is just giving you choices.

And at the end of the day, and this is very neoliberal maybe, but you got to choose, honey. And if you don't pull yourself, and if you don't pull yourself and if you don't pull yourself up by the bootstraps then if you don't do that then you deserve to be unhealthy

and poor you really do you really do you really do anyway so okay ready one more thing marry fuck kill Anyway, so, okay, ready? Yeah. One more thing.

Mary, fuck, kill. Oh, my God. The McFlurry. Regular strawberry shake. You order a small drink and put every soda in it you you press every soda and run the soft drink under including oh my god ice wow i killed that this is the thing i didn't i didn't even know people did that last one but oh honey you know my stupid gay little ass was combining every soda

and making creations and drinking that one think about how good it probably is and marry a fuck killer I think I marry the McFlurry because I don't think I've ever, I don't think they've ever let me down.

This is a reader. In my 12 plus years friendship with Matt Rodgers, I have not seen him like this. No, no. What do you have to say for yourself what i have to say is that i think that mcdonald's being a part of the culture was absolutely a really important day and the day that mcdonald's opened its doors was for sure the first day of culture so we have 11 more of these and wow i don't know we'll see where they go but mcdonald's august 18th 1953 the first mcdonald's

opens its doors yeah a huge moment with that boris many gifts yes thank you for the gifts of the select strips thank you for the gifts of the uh sausage egg and cheese on the mcmuffin thank you for the gifts of hash browns. Thank you for the gifts of just that small McCafe. Oh, thank you for the gifts of, honestly, you know, throughout the world, different delicacies. You know, you get your macaron in France or you get your taro pies in Asia.

I mean, McDonald's adapts so well to different locations. McDonald's in America is not like McDonald's in other countries. No. You know that. No, I do know that because I have distinctly been to Montreal and been in a McDonald's. The poutine. The McDonald's poutine. It's something else.

And you know they were selling some sort of chicken parmesan sandwich. Yes. I just said parmesan. And so it shall be so named. And so it shall be so named. And we just want to say thank you to McDonald's and the gifts and being the first day of culture by singing a thank you song. And this is also how we will end every episode.

Oh, I don't know. The iHeart Podcast Network? That's right. We're an official iHeart podcast, and I'm super excited about it. I am too. I thought Two Cool Moms was such a fun podcast, but now it's even more funner and cooler and heartier. That's right. It's more I heartier.

I knew it. Check your heart rate. We're here at I Heart. Yeah, you can find us wherever you listen to your podcast or on the I Heart Radio app. Oh, hey, it's Teresa back from the dead again. Just wanted to pop in and let you know that Haunting is back on October 22nd. Spooky season? I own spooky season. We're serving up some killer stories, literally,

and a few that might make you question whether you really locked the door before getting into bed. So cancel your lame Halloween plans. Haunted houses? Overdone. Candy corn? Honestly, who eats that? Your new tradition? Listening to me.

Listen to Haunting starting on October 22nd on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
