Starting point is 00:00:28 This is Right About Now with Ryan Alford, a radcast network production. We are the number one business show on the planet with over one million downloads a month. Taking the BS out of business for over six years and over 400 episodes. You ready to start snapping next and cash in checks? Well, it starts right about now. What's up guys? Welcome to Right about now. It's Friday, May 17th. 2024. We're taking the BS out of business baby in our weekly marketing and business news of the week.

Starting point is 00:01:07 Join by my good friend, Chris Hanson down to the vacay lounge in Miami. What's up, Chris? Just another beautiful Friday in Miami. How you doing today? How is G Vegas? G Vegas is good. We're expanding all kinds of new things in the studio. Sawyer's got us a nice design on the background there. I'm just feeling like we're just all growns up here.

Starting point is 00:01:30 You guys, it's a new look every time we log on. And I'm jealous. I'm just here in my corner with my bamboo plant. Exactly. Still number one, that's why this belt sits here. The day we aren't number one for a six-month period, we'll take the belt away. We'll store it away.

Starting point is 00:01:48 We'll send it to whoever is. But we appreciate you for listening and keeping us at the top of the charts on Apple. Maybe go hit us on Spotify, like hovering like top 30 over there. We need to be top. Give us a Spotify love. You can download us anywhere. Just set it to auto download on both platforms. You never know.

Starting point is 00:02:05 Some platform could go down or something, and you want to make sure you can catch it. Yeah. Catch it on that flight. Exactly, exactly. We appreciate you wherever you are, whenever you are, however you are. On our weekly news, we try to keep it topical. We like to take the bullshit out and make a little educating,

Starting point is 00:02:24 a little entertaining. This isn't breaking news, but we like to pull the articles that we feel like you should know about give a little insight into what we think it really means, sometimes reading in between the lines. That's the kind of the story here. Sometimes a story isn't just what it's saying. Sometimes it's what it's not saying. We like to get underneath it.

Starting point is 00:02:47 This first article comes from a man that makes the news a lot. Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, announced on Friday that subscribers can upload podcast, TV shows, or films on X, formerly known as Twitter, and make money through monetization. The tech entrepreneur responded to his sister, Tosca Busk, who is a co-founder of the streaming site Passion Flicks, by stating that users can now upload their full-length films to X.

Starting point is 00:03:24 Going to watch a whole movie on the social media platform. Another platform to upload to. Yeah. Let's add one more to the list. I always liked Twitter slash X. Maybe one day we'll just be able to call it X, but it's still Twitter slash X. But just a little statement. Like Threads is now.

Starting point is 00:03:42 Like it's just a thought of the day. Simple note. Or, hey, you're a reporter. You're on site somewhere. You just saw something. A quick blip. Right. But now, no, we're going to have full length movies.

Starting point is 00:03:57 tweet about that. Oh, come on, man. And I know why they're doing it. Time on site. They would just try to be catch off for everything. And I think even Elon said he ultimately wanted the platform to be that. But I like what he's attempting to do with free speech stuff and weeding out some stuff. I don't know how successful that is.

Starting point is 00:04:19 But I admire his progress and or ambition. I just don't need somewhere junk it up like my feed. I like my feed being tied on Twitter of like just insightful quips, little bits of knowledge, little quotes. It is the one thing I will say about threads when I go spend a little bit of time over there. It's at least clean. I agree. I don't know. Slippery slope there.

Starting point is 00:04:46 Twitter is getting very crowded. Yes. If you try to click on someone's tweet, most of the comments blow it or just adds pushing you to another? account. Yes. That's not even related to the original post. It's getting very cluttered. And there's people smarter than me.

Starting point is 00:05:03 There's probably people listening that are agreeing with us, I imagine. But obviously they have data folks smarter than we are with the algorithm and all that. But at its core, though, it's just like when do you run out of like space and mental energy like when you're in the platform? Because just like you said, you used to get on. I could see a few like cool quotes. from people I'm following or insights or news, like just really easy to digest. Now you've got the threads within the comments, within the things, like you said, and a lot of it's got junk ads or whatever.

Starting point is 00:05:37 This is not a clean experience. That UI is not optimal to me right now. And so, again, smarter people that know what they're doing. We're probably thinking through these things. But my first world experience called a focus group of one is not. not ideal these days and keeps me from going to the platform more. I'm right there with you, bro. So you said it in a great way where it's my go-to app if I just want like a little taste

Starting point is 00:06:07 to not be fully overwhelmed with content. Yeah. And now that app, and we used to talk about threads, we didn't think it was super doing anything new. Yeah. Now I find myself more in threads when I just want to read quotes or something simple. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:06:23 And this is the reason. usually why the spinoffs for these social platforms become a different app. Because if you're going to do full-length video, that if they need to have like tiles, if you think about like on a spreadsheet, you have tabs. Give me the simple tab for X, like just the copy. If you want to have that full-length movie thing over here, have it over here in this column and I can choose to see it or not or whatever. Let me organize my experience.

Starting point is 00:06:54 personalize it. Now, I get why they wouldn't do that because they want you and I and everybody to get exposed to that video or those movies. So it fights against it. And look, we are somewhat squabbling over a free app that we don't pay for. So we got to get what we get. But if they want our opinion, it's called Kiss. Keep it simple, stupid. We'll see.

Starting point is 00:07:25 And look, I don't mind an ad between those quotes. I get it. Baby's got to get paid. You got to have money to make that app. I get it. Got to make a profit. But give me, give me some motivation. Warm me up.

Starting point is 00:07:39 I need some motivational lube on the way down to the ad. Before you hit me over the head. You don't know what I'm talking about, Chris. I know. Anyway. There's no finesse on the Twitter ads. It's just in your face. watching a video about puppies and then I actually see a lot of the Delta E gummy ads

Starting point is 00:08:00 Cheech and Chong company all the time. I'm like, how was this related? It's because you went to the website or if you search something. You're in the, you're in the vortex. Algo's got me, bro. Yeah, Alga's got you. They got you. There you go.

Starting point is 00:08:16 First article. Neuro link. First human brain chip implant experience a problem. Weird. It is weird, and I'm going to say this before I get into the article. Innovation's messy. These guys are trying to help quadriplegic's walk that have a terrible quality of life and to do things and to have experiences they don't have.

Starting point is 00:08:41 So we can beat up on every miss, but the premise here is a good one, and the intent is right. So before I'm going to beat up on anything that obviously, you want there to be thorough checks and balances for this kind of stuff. And I'm sure the watchdogs out there would say that's what they're doing. But let's just not kill innovation. Because I'll tell you this, if laboratories and everything else that we use today had the scrutiny in the news

Starting point is 00:09:16 that there is today on everything that this guy does, we wouldn't have many of the conveniences that we have today. because just the scrutiny that would have gone into it. And don't get around, there needs to be scrutiny, but the public scrutiny, like public scrutiny is a different thing than the FDA or something. You know, the people checking behind things. So with that said, just comes to us from Mashable. Elon Musk's medical tech company didn't disclose the issue until they were pressed,

Starting point is 00:09:45 according to the report. It is fair to call Duralink's first human implant a success as it helped a quadripleachian. patient interact with his surroundings in ways that he previously couldn't before. However, until this report on Wednesday, the public had not been informed of a problem that resulted in Neurrelink, even considering removing the implant. Some of the implant's threads placed in the patient's brain had come out resulting in data loss. Again, obviously things have gone a lot worse, and Neurolink's first implant thus far has been

Starting point is 00:10:22 considered a successful endeavor, but they just want more transparency. So, okay, it's been a success. They weren't trans. I don't know what the expectation is. Like, why does. What do the critics want? And what is, and what do they owe us? What knowledge of this do they owe us?

Starting point is 00:10:41 Do they owe us any of us? I was thinking that too. There's governing bodies probably behind. 30 years ago, the news wouldn't have been reporting on this until it was a success. Yes. You wouldn't hear the. the practice rounds or whatever, the innovation part. This is the news gone bad right here.

Starting point is 00:10:58 This is the perfect example of over-newing. Yeah. My new term. Over-newing and motivational lube. I did not think I'd get both either one of those terms in today. But we did. This is taking the BS out of business, baby. Look, sometimes taking the BS out of business is telling you the facts.

Starting point is 00:11:15 This is too much news too often. Like, I get it. I get it why you could be up in arms on this. But it's not any of your fucking. bought business, probably. Unless you're the governing body of overseeing all of the health. Like there's other checks and balances happening here. Or is anyone asking the patient?

Starting point is 00:11:36 Because the guys, he might even still be like, yeah, there was a problem. But overall, this is still a positive thing for my life. And he's probably signed everything to Earth. Exactly. That he's written away going, I will be the test experiment here. I will hold you unaccountable and unliable. What is he had to lose? And look, here's what the journalist would say.

Starting point is 00:12:00 If you're going to report good news, then you need to report all the news. Because that's what they would say. They would say since Elon has been reporting, the first has been generally successful, then they need to tell everything. You know what? If you're generally successful, then there's probably good and bad they haven't reported.

Starting point is 00:12:22 Like, it's, I don't think they've, I haven't seen anything deemed. This was a win overall. They're just saying generally successful doing things he'd never been able to do before. Anyway, just stop it with the over news. Yeah, cut it out. And if we can get these kind of things implemented in patients, like the upshot of this is incredible. That's the bottom line. Americans.

Starting point is 00:12:56 Sorry, Chris. I was going to say every business. If they reported on every failure, every business had, that would be everybody. Yeah. How you could spend that stocks up this quarter by 18%. Why didn't you talk about, well, the first month when you were down 14%? Because the quarter, we were up 18 because we started a little slow and then we made it up. Well, we need it is a negative side of that.

Starting point is 00:13:28 That's what we're talking about, a little bit here. We'll see. Bloomberg.com. Americans are racking up phantom debt that Wall Street can't track. This is from Bloomberg.com. Consumers have embraced buy-now pay-letter products that allow them to pay for purchases and installments. But it's not clear how many of these loans are out there. It's hard enough for central bankers and Wall Street traders to make sense.

Starting point is 00:13:53 sense of the post-pandemic economy with the data available at them to them at Wells Fargo senior economist Tim Quinlan is particularly spooked he's really spooked I used to see this guy boo by the phantom debt that he can't see he is staying up at night going we just gave a house loan and I know that she's got some phantom debt somewhere damn it I know she's hiding that debt. You can microfinance that perfume on sexfitt avenue.com with Sezzle or whatever the name of the company is. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:14:33 She's got 47 payments on that new diamond ring. I know it. $47 payments of $9.99. Yes. For the next 47 months. Exactly. With the 22% interest rate. Yeah, exactly.

Starting point is 00:14:47 I know she's got a high interest debt somewhere. I know it. I knew it. Yeah. But it's so interesting on the. less. And I do, it is happening because they have these. It's huge. Spread the payment out almost in everything you purchase now.

Starting point is 00:15:01 I was buying something the other day. And it popped up and it was like, they were dying for me to do this. I'm trying to think of what it was. It was like a candle or something. Like it was like something for my wife. And they're offering like zero interest. And it was like $14. And they're like, you spread this out of it.

Starting point is 00:15:20 And I know it's probably just like an automated thing for anything you buy. and I'm like, I was tempted. $3.99 for three months or $14 all at once. I, yeah. But I chose just to buy it. But nonetheless, I think it will be interesting as this stuff continues to proliferate. It feels like it's already everywhere. But I'm surprised they haven't figured out how to,

Starting point is 00:15:51 they seem to figure out everything else to hit your credit report. I don't know why they haven't figured this out. They hit your soft credit, I think, or something when they offer these things. They're not often people six months of payments unless they do some kind of soft credit check. So I don't know why these companies aren't reporting your credit back to them if you aren't making the payments. And what that balance is that that will probably be what ultimately gets alleviated is the reporting back. but I will say, isn't this a little different.

Starting point is 00:16:27 I've bought furniture, like rooms to go, that zero percent financing over 48 months or something, we've done that a couple times. I'll think you're free bunny. Yeah, I'll make those payments.

Starting point is 00:16:38 You want to let me keep my cash and spread it out and not charge any interest? Now they're banking that you're going to fuck up and miss payment and get all that charge, but let me tell you something.

Starting point is 00:16:51 I didn't mess that up. I've gotten some free cash. off them several times that new love seat but now but the afterpay thing is even more interesting with like you said perfume i mean small purchases but it's also like the three or four hundred dollars purchases that a lot of people have no business making probably and i think that's what we're talking about here is okay people with subpar credit already maybe already in debt and they're throwing down another four or five hundred times three on these platforms and so I would imagine I'm in Miami the heart of microfinancing where everyone is, you need $500 sunglasses, but you make $25 an hour.

Starting point is 00:17:32 Yeah. A lot of that happening in big cities like that. It happens everywhere. But you have the lure and the influence. You get an influence right and left in those big cities because everybody's everywhere. There's glam everywhere. And so it's bad enough with, and my wife can afford it, but like getting influence. It's by every girl on Instagram for $8, $10 things left and right.

Starting point is 00:17:59 All this new way to brush your hair and fold it under and tuck it. Oh, ooh, got to have that. Oil slick in the driveway, baby, from the Amazon truck. But we've talked about this. I'm a sucker for some of this. Some of it. My Amazon Prime Commissure for sure. Yes.

Starting point is 00:18:19 But we'll see what impact this has. you start to see more impacts on because it and this is a point of the article like back to like business and things like that like foreclosures on houses start going up that credit card balances over all that stuff has an impact on the overall economy and the overall kind of business runnings of the country and and that's where tim quinlan is spooked I hope his friends are giving us some shit. He spooked by the phantom dead. I can't deal with it. That just seemed, it's just so freaking, like, cringy. And then the fact, like, we can't find it. There are billions of dollars probably of this phantom debt.

Starting point is 00:19:13 It's just not being recorded there. Yeah. Yeah. Something doesn't make sense to me. By the Chinese government. It's a spin off from. TikTok. I know Asia was the first one to do the microfinancing. I think it started in China. I feel like 10 years ago I heard about this.

Starting point is 00:19:29 We knew it. We know it. They're smart, bro. This next article comes from us from MarketingDive, MarketingDive.com. Not crushing it. Apple's new iPad Pro ad met with a wave of backlash. I saw this. It's a little for Apple post. It's pretty tough. tone deaf. Oh yeah. And I get it. By the way, I did a similar commercial list in 2009 for the Blackberry. We're showing, it's essentially saying it's the Swiss Army knife of the smartphone. But a video showing art objects like a piano and a sculpture destroyed by a massive press marks a rare creative miss for the iPhone maker. To emphasize the slimness, a new commercial titled Crush shows a, a menagerie of artistic works and tools, including sculptures, a piano, paints,

Starting point is 00:20:27 and a vinyl record player getting crushed under a massive metal, excuse me, massive metal press. The final result is the iPad Pro implying the tablet can contain all of those media capabilities in one sleek advice. And so you had all these people come out that are piano players. Look, the artsy-fartsy, sorry, it is what it is. Crowd, that's Apple Crock. Are you talking to Sawyer? No.

Starting point is 00:20:59 The guitarist and producer in the room. Look, I'm artsy-fartzy myself sometimes. I'm just saying, but I don't get my panties in a wad over that shit. And my panties can get in a wad. Let me tell you. But I know, but you just got to know who your crowd is. It is a little tone-deaf. Actually for their audience, man.

Starting point is 00:21:18 You're right. Apple has always been more of an artist. artist's It is. It totally is. And like I said, I consider myself in that audience a little bit. It's just,

Starting point is 00:21:26 dude, even thinking about garage band. Like it was the only computer to come standard with music production, video production software. And now you're just like, fuck all you guys and your artist's abilities. Yes. I know.

Starting point is 00:21:42 It's just dumb. It's just like, okay. Because if you watch the commercial, too, it's the stuff that they chose, too. It's like, Some of this stuff is, I hope that there's like someone play a classical piano in every lobby.

Starting point is 00:21:55 Like I like stuff that's just iconic to our culture. Someone is a vinyl record player. Yeah. I'm always like, dude, sick. It sounds amazing. Like, who knows to get rid of that? And especially this crowd. So, I don't know.

Starting point is 00:22:10 And anyway. That's why I figured they must have done this on purpose to piss people off. I can't think that they thought this was a good idea. This is a great ad. They thought they were making a good ad showing. the metaphor and the Swiss Army knife, that it does all these things. But you can do that creatively without smashing them with a metal press.

Starting point is 00:22:30 Like you can show them feeding in. And there's a lot of different devices for how you could bring that to life. Apple CEO Tim Cook posted the video on X, where it has been met with a negative response with many users perceiving the ad as hostile to art. Yeah. metal presses tend to do that put your head in the metal press that's a trend too right to hold metal press videos people like that's a thing people love watching stuff get smashed so i feel like they were trying to go off that trend but just completely miss the target yeah they need gallagher on there with a big hammer that guy of the comedy guy that smashed things with the hammer yeah watermelons yeah he's smashing it that's old that's a hole right there our young audience may not remember that Don't look up Gallagher. You'll get a laugh.

Starting point is 00:23:21 Just smashing things with hammers. Nonetheless, tone deaf. And look, it pains me to say this. I'm an Apple guy. I hate PCs. I Sawyer knows this. He's been trying to talk me in to get a PC while for our studio. I do so much more.

Starting point is 00:23:36 I'm an Apple guy. I like Apple. But damn, man, are they running out. Not only are they running out of ideas. Now their ideas suck. This is a terrible idea. Like, if nothing else, the commercials and the, the creative has always been good.

Starting point is 00:23:51 At least it is high standard. Now the fucking creative stinks, shit, it ain't good. They can't come up with any new features. Their AI is behind. They canceled the car. This shit ain't good. And look, I love Apple.

Starting point is 00:24:04 I'm not getting ridden of them today, but it's just, again, smoke. You know what you usually find when there's smoke, Chris? Fuego, baby. Fuego. Fire. Something ain't right. we might have to get that PC.

Starting point is 00:24:21 Damn it. Happy time. We'll smash it with a hammer. As I'm sitting on my brand new Apple laptop next to me. Yeah, exactly. I say all these things. I'm not off the bandwagon yet. It's a lot to get me to go to a droid, bro.

Starting point is 00:24:38 Oh, yeah. I know. It's not the droid they were back in the day. But I'll say this. I'm still on the band, but man, I'm falling. I'm like, I'm holding all. to that band, like, I'm holding on one hand behind it, baby. You're dragging me behind the buggy. Like, I'm trying to, I'm, I'm already giving you shit. We want to support you.

Starting point is 00:24:58 We want to. I still love the product, but damn, let's get the ads back in order. Let's get tech innovating a little bit. A happy girl dancing to New York City with her headphones in, like a good vibe. Yeah. Now there's like crush all of your history. Yeah, pulverized. That's the Apple brand too. Pulverizing things in a press. Come on, man. What are you fucking Ford or Dodge Ram now? Stop it.

Starting point is 00:25:26 Yeah. Oh, speak up. AI secures 500,000 seed investment for revolutionary AI podcast tool. They're coming for us, man. They're trying to get us. The AI podcast and co-pilot

Starting point is 00:25:42 offers core functionalities including instant voice cloning. Shit. Content. restructuring, damn it. Script preview and editing. Automatic music. It's just a podcast in a box right there, baby.

Starting point is 00:25:56 You can't duplicate this, though. You can't get this southern accent and the highs and lows. I've done the clone. That guy doesn't sound like me. You can't get this accent. No, he probably can. But no computer is going to have the brain of Chris Hansen and Ryan offered.

Starting point is 00:26:17 Like, it can't think it's, let's just say it's not coming up with any of the terms we've had today. Good, bad, or indifferent. Definitely not motivational lute. That one's only something a good old-fashioned human can spit out. They're not coming up with that one. Nonetheless, this does sound interesting. Look, let me say this. I like technology that makes life easier to simplify things that takes unnecessary steps out.

Starting point is 00:26:47 that lets my people do their creative things and not spin wheels on administrative stuff. So I'm all for tools that do that. But the slippery slope was just creation of content and abstract ideas and creative ideas and human thought and human perspective. Consciousness. Yeah. And so that's where the slippery slope is. But speak up AI. If you want to get in on that seed round.

Starting point is 00:27:17 they're looking for money. Promoters of Mike Tyson, Jake Paul, Netflix fight offer a $2 million VIP package. Chris, you want to split this? I think we're in on this one milpice. Yeah. How many seats do we get?

Starting point is 00:27:35 I don't know. We're going to read right now. Mike Tyson will return to the ring on July 20th to fight Jake Paul. Let's basically put here a quote, quite fight. If there's no if they really do get it on, this is going to be one of the most entertaining things I've ever seen.

Starting point is 00:27:54 There's going to be some limitations. There's got to be. I don't know if they're going to hit head gear. I don't know what. If they're just wailing, that's going to be awesome. Anyway, in a boxing match streamed on Netflix, fans are already betting on the fight. Expect it to be the most wagered on match of the year.

Starting point is 00:28:13 Promoters are offering a $2 million VIP package to the fight. This article details does not have what is included in that two million, but one could presume it's quite lucrative and quite inclusive. I imagine it's a box and maybe you would hope. The fight. I had clients, if I had the right clients to entertain at this level, I would think about that because that's a once-in-a-lif-lif-a-lif-lif-lif-time kind of thing.

Starting point is 00:28:45 Take Paul, the prime of his, pun intended, of his career, whether he's a boxer, influencer, business person, like, all these things. And then Mike Tyson, one of the most fear being on the planet when he fought, it's just the once in a lifetime type of thing. And no matter what circus it ends up becoming, that would be a nice client experience. If you could have the right one, if you're doing this kind of level of business, roll them in there. So I like it. But it's a lot of fucking money. It's a lot of dough. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:29:23 And I'm like, where are you sitting ringside? You got to be sitting ringside. I don't want to be up with it. The box sounds cool, but maybe pre. You're getting your. Meeting greet. Meeting great.

Starting point is 00:29:34 Getting your thing on. Pre-patch. Meeting all, rubbing shoulders with celebrities, all that you're doing. But I want to be ringside if I'm going to spend two mill. I want their fucking boxing gloves on paying two mill. Autographed.

Starting point is 00:29:50 Yeah. Yeah. And then flip them for four after the fight. Exactly. It's going to be a good fight. Yeah. It's going to be a good show. I don't know if it's going to be a good fight.

Starting point is 00:30:00 It's going to be a good show. It's the spectacle. That's what this is. Okay. Anyone out there that's going, oh, what the fight's going to be? I'm more, I'm curious myself. But as a marketer, I more appreciate the, spectacle and the newsworthiness and the buzz that this creates.

Starting point is 00:30:22 And people might argue if you can create buzz, but is it have substance. It's two of the most popular for different reasons, the different eras. Yeah, that's substance. No matter what that fight does. If Jake Paul falls down, okay, and lays down, okay, I'll be a little pissed about that. But like, it's, it doesn't have a high threshold, actually. in the ring. You wanted to be competitive or interesting, but the whole spectacle, everybody that's going to bring the, there's occasions when the sizz is big enough. I'm a big sizzle steak guy.

Starting point is 00:31:01 Like, you've got to have some steak behind the sizzle because that sizzle wears off. But something like this, sometimes the sizzle's big enough. And this might be the case. Now, if it actually turns out to be a legitimate fight in the ring, It might go down as like one of the greatest promotions of all time. Like, just promotions. I'm not saying fights. Hey, if you want to be in the news, make the news. There's your learning lesson.

Starting point is 00:31:29 They're making the news. McDonald's. Bringing back that $5 meal, baby. Inflation's up. It's expensive out there. McDonald's is working to introduce a value meal in U.S. stores to help offset it increasingly challenging environment for consumers. The $5 meal could include four items.

Starting point is 00:31:50 A McChicken or McDouble, four-piece chicken nuggets, fries, and a drink. That's a lot of damn food for $5. Potential, do offer, potential, not sold in yet. Offer comes a time when low-income consumers are beginning to pull back on spending, particularly at fast food brands. This comes for us from CNBC.com. Another region to go to McDonald's. $5.

Starting point is 00:32:15 all those items used to be on the dollar menu, so they're still getting you for an extra dollar compared to previous years. Oh, whole home, Chris. Because I used to live off of McDoubles and mid-chikins. Yes, the McChicken, the McDouble. The $1 meal come back. Look, I still want the $5 roast, five-for-five roast beef at Arbys.

Starting point is 00:32:36 Those are the days I long for. That was a deal. Five-for-five on the roast beef. Come on, man. In the Scebc Bunch, sorry. Cup of chili. So Army Dolls, giving your thunder away to Arby's here. Get $5.

Starting point is 00:32:49 Five roastby sandwiches now at Arby's like $15, like $20. And there's your inflation right there, 300%. That you plus the boys, right? Oh, yeah. Exactly. Oh, we can't get out of a fast food restaurant for less than 60. You kid me? The way the offered boys eat?

Starting point is 00:33:07 Talking like baskets of fries, 40-piece nuggets. It's the gargle down disposal. all, like washing that thing down with seven coax. And look, we're like on every other week, McDonald, like once every other week. Flapstack Fridays. Flap, yes. Hotcake Fridays? Yes.

Starting point is 00:33:27 Plus, like, maybe one extra, like, random happy meal here and there. Look, working family, man. It's just convenient sometimes. Yeah. They play every sport. I don't want any hate mail. Don't, don't DM me saying, you shouldn't feed your kids that shit. Look, my kids are more active than any.

Starting point is 00:33:43 kids on the planet. Most kids on the plan. But you got to get that half-mealing sometimes. It means you just ain't got time to cook. Y'all know what I'm talking about. This $5 thing, I'm thinking how many of those I could order to get the whole food. I don't think I'm going to get three of those things and feed the whole family. Good luck. I know. I'll eat a salad or something though. Tasty mick salad. I'll have to mix salad and some mick bacon on that. Oh, that's all we got time for today, my friends. We've got work to do around here.
