I said, it was y'all 22 times. A police officer, right? But what do you do when the monster is the man in blue? This dude is the devil. He hurt you. This is the story of a detective who thought he was above the law, until we came to. together to take him down. I said, you're going to see my face to the day that you die. Listen to the girlfriends, untouchable, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever

you get your podcast. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of McTrendels. Oh. Because we're going to be talking about McDonald's today. All McDonald's episode, brought to you by McDonald's. They're not going to like this one, but they just said, we don't care as long as it's about us. My name's Jack O'Brien. That over there is Mr. Miles Gray.

Yes, yes. And a happy January 6th to you. And a happy January 6th to you, my good man. We're wearing our Viking helmets in honor of, what was that guy's name? The shaman, Qishaman, Qishamon, Qish, as I called him. Yo, it's the Qish, dude. What's up, bro? I thought you were in jail, dog. You got out? Yeah, they wouldn't give me a vegan meals in jail. Blutin free meals. So I was felt discriminated against, you know.

I think it was something really specific. Like, he's like, I don't know, anyway, he's, they're all out of jail, so they're all celebrating. They're all good. Hey, speaking of which, we have a story related to the mass, well, not deportation, the mass. the mass pardoning clemency, sweeping clemency that Donald Trump gave the January 6th offenders on his first day back in office. Yep. Turns out, it could be a boomerang. Could have not worked out great for all of us. Maybe fine for him.

Not that it's a boomerang, but just like, Jesus, these people are so stupid. So again, remember that mysterious figure that was planting bombs outside of the DNC and RNC headquarters? Well, we talked about it, I think, at the end of last year. Yes, it was end of last year, how he was apprehended, arrested, and this guy might have already have a get-out-a-jail-free card just because he was also a J-N-6 offender. So this is from, I think, the Washington Post said Trump may have pardoned Cole last year as part of the sweeping clemency that he gave to J-N-6 offenders on his first day back in office. The White House has brushed off questions on the subject of the subject, but Justice Department prosecutors should be worried about this.

and there were suggestions based off their briefs and statements in court last week that they already are. Trump's pardon also appears to have no restrictions on when the charges against the relevant defendants have been brought. The Justice Department has already applied Trump's pardon to people whose cases were merely pending, i.e. people who had not been convicted at the time of its issuance. Now, in terms of the placement of the bombs and, like, what was the goal here? was this person in line with the the government takeover he was i mean he was at he was at the party a soldier yeah he was a soldier in the okay so he's just one of trump's realist boys exactly so i mean he's not going to be worried about letting letting a mad bomber go don't don't let a few pipe bombs get between us honey cubama yeah um ira like it better than obama yeah there you

The QBama. All right. Got an update on the Epstein Files. Shocking update. This is going to fucking blow you guys away.

So the Epstein Files Transparency Act called for the DOJ to publicly release all unclassified records files, communications,

investigative material on Epstein. Within 30 days, that deadline has passed. They dropped a bunch of just blacked out documents on our ass we're like

they're happy so that didn't happen instead they invaded Venezuela they were like does this is this good can we just can we just focus on this the war crime I think that deadline was the explanation about the redactions

were like they released a little bit and then like okay well now you have until this date to explain and they're like oh one more thing we're going to fucking invade Venezuela right I did not see a lot of people talking about because it is so many documents It's a trove miles.

Which I think should be disturbing to people that there's that many documents. How many documents are we talking exactly? So they've conceded 12,285 documents totaling 125,5,5 pages so far. I had to assume that was all of them. I didn't know there were that many documents in existence on anything, let alone on the Epstein investigation. It turns out I got the number It's actually 5.2 million documents

That exists That in total In total, yes So what they've released so far Is less than 1% of the files Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah They're like, we're working as fast as we can back here

I thought there were no Epstein files dog Yeah, for a while there They were like, we reviewed these We found out like it's nothing The police came. They were like, it doesn't matter. Nothing about this is a problem. It's wild that Todd Blanche, who, you know, is the deputy AG and Galane Maxwell whisper.

Like, he's gone from just, like, there's nothing to see here. Like, there's too many documents for the, there's too many. It's like, what the fuck? How am I supposed to look at all these documents? Because 400 attorneys on this case that we're supposed to have been investigating for the past five years. Yeah. Yeah, two million documents, over two million documents. So this is from a writer, JM, found a quote that at this pace,

the substantial department resources that they've put towards this at the rate that they're going wouldn't produce the full files for another eight years. Wow. That's almost by design, maybe. I know. Almost as if this is exactly what they wanted. I mean, it's interesting when I think about like the friends thing, when Trump's like, don't do it, Marjorie, that my friends will be upset.

And you see people like Peter Thiel, Sergey Brin of Google and Elon Musk being named, being named, no action stations, but named, like, and acquaintances after Epstein's 2008 conviction, you're like, hmm, hmm, hmm. And there's, and we've only seen one percent. And this is presumably one percent. Five point two million documents? That sounds like a whole lot of bad shit in there. It seems like this is the one percent that you wanted us to see. we're looking at the all bill clinton we're looking at the uh you guys seen diana you guys seen diana ross's son evan ross he was there it's like evan ross why it's just a publicity photo that you guys found um eight years is so we unreal who knows how like what what is in the rest of those documents when this is the one percent that they wanted us to see and it was fairly incriminating yeah

pretty bad pretty bad yeah there's a ton of action too like there's a lot of a lot of the oversight committees are trying to figure out how they're going to flex their their muscles here to get more answers and i mean it seems like they're really trying to go after pam bondy i don't know when that happens if that happens should be called the oversight committee and the other meaning of that word right and i think this is kind of like what we were saying too like when we were like dude they're just going to fucking show you a bunch of black squares like it's the fucking summer of 2020 joking as a comedy joke as

we're a comedy podcast some some have suggested and turns out it was exactly correct no right and then but then the next thing was that wasn't going to be the end of it though right because the I'm sure to them they thought they could just send out a bunch of black sheets of paper

and claim total transparency victory but again the appetites of people have not been satiated they are not satisfied and again the the survivors themselves are so fucking upset with the DA DOJ and no communication with them whatsoever.

They're like, have an open hearing in Congress. Like, let's, like, come on. Yeah. Speed this shit up. Let's televise this shit. Let's get it out there. Well, speaking of people's appetites not being satiated, the McRib is back in the news.

I feel like the McRib falls into a category of foods with fan bases that I think, you fall into, I think I'm going to put you in this category. I know you're not a McRibs stand. No. There are these foods with crazy loyal followings that among the people who stand this food, like you cannot tell them shit. And I'm going to put, so I'm going to put Dr. Pepper in there. Like there's just like people who, I didn't realize this, but apparently like super loyal. Like, both Hillary Clinton and John Lennon would have like cases of Dr. Pepper shipped ahead.

wherever they were traveling to because they like couldn't do without dr pepper john lennon was a doctor pepper freak like that fucking pepper free didn't have this in livaboo um and then of course there is the uh subway tuna salad which i'm also adding a tuna salad that's that's so classy that you would even call that tuna it's it's fish paste it with manate this is the subway tuna fish paste uh jamesy mike's by the way i was hanging out with two of my best friends from high school over the break and they were both like oh you don't you don't eat Jersey Mike's tuna

like it's like Chris put me on to this it's so good your two boys geech and mango yeah geech and mango oh dude jersey mics is actually a little too classy for me it's too much their tuna her majesty likes Jersey that's her order every time Jersey Mike she likes a tuna there every time I'm like tastes like tuna right I'm like some way it's like amorphous

yeah yeah yeah I like It's weird. I don't know. It's a new, a new non-Newtonian taste, substance and taste. But I just, just so, like, this morning, I texted one of my friend groups of, like, my boys since, like, elementary school. There's, like, six of us that I have on a thread. And I just asked, because I had a false memory that one of my friends was a McRibhead,

everybody was like, no, I've never fucked with the McRib. So I, come to think of it, I don't know anyone who likes the McRib. They're out there, man. on to my one, like, very American homie who, like, put me on to ranch dressing when we were, like, eight years old. Yeah. And he had to fuck with the McRib.

He was like, dude, it's no. He's like, it's terrible. Ranch is, like, so mainstream compared to the McRib. But, like, the McRib is, like, in the genre of sandwich where the company could come out and be like, we actually poop in there.

And everyone else would just be like, well, surely now the McRib slash Subway Tunis sandwich is the thing of the past. the fans would be like, don't care. We're good. We're good here. More poop.

Actually, maybe that's what we like about it. Everything about that. Anyways, the McRib got a bullshit farewell tour in 2022. Remember that. Return to McDonald's several times since then. Most recently the end of 2025, but only in certain locations. I feel like McDonald's has to have just like a chart that's like, you cannot do anything to make these people.

stop eating the McRib. So we just, like, have that in our back pocket anytime we need to sell, you know, $4 million worth of sandwiches that cost us $0.45 to make, we're good. I would love to be able to see the market data that McDonald's has collected over the decades of being in business to be like, because I'm, you know, they know it's like, bro, something is wrong with the people in Youngstown, Ohio. That's all they fucking eat. the McRibb hotspots.

Yeah, like, truly, like, that's so, that is truly, like, that's the one service McDonald's could provide to humanity rather than the fucking. And by the way, McRib fans, we want to hear from you, because this is a lot of slander. I want, I want to know, what, what is it that you love about it? It's, it's got a very strange texture. Like, what is it the ribs? What is it the ribs? The, the flavor profile is very, I don't know, seems pretty much in line with, like, you

knows, it's just barbecue sauce and bread. But the texture is weird. Like, the roll is weirdly kind of hard. And then the McRib itself is a substance that, like, Brian started talking non-Newtonian substances last year, and I can't get them out of my head, out of my head. But, like, it is, it's like, is this a salad? It resists. It resists the bite.

Don't put too much pressure or it will resist. You're like, what? It's like, pat A. Yeah. But anyways, there's a new class action lawsuit that is going to affect no McRib fans, but I guess worth, it might make a handful of people richer. It accused a company of false advertising because there is no actual rib meat in the Mick Rib. Hold on, Jack. Say again.

Say again now. There is no actual rib meat in the Mick Rib. It's just Mick. No rib. which I wasn't I wasn't shocked to find out to be honest with you I mean like what hold on like what are they saying they're like this isn't ribs yeah like the bones are painted on like they're implied but hold on now what did you think this was this is like they've created the appearance of a slab of ribs in the same way that they gave Brad Pitt a six pack in fight club they're like just airbrushed that shit on there that's airbrushed on yeah his his ribs were painted on. Oh, God, damn it. I know.

But reportedly the primary ingredient is restructured pork composed of parts like shoulder, heart, tripe, and scalded stomach. By the way, they could say skull. And skull. And skull.

And human skull. Again, make rib fans, would be like, I don't give a fuck. Yeah. That's funny because I thought, like, rib meat is cheap to get. Like, I remember always, like,

the Tyson chicken patties. like that I would get from Costco while I was like peak puberty food for me I was like made with rib meat I'm like what the fuck is this? Oh yeah it did have a chicken meat mixed in Yeah I was like chicken rib meat Get some chicken ribs

You chicken ribs are delicious If you actually They're so thin Dude they're delicious to eat actually Oh yeah You gotta be a patient eater You gotta be patient You gotta be patient

A McDonald's spokesman claimed That the McRib does not use Hearts trip or scalded stomach so they're claiming just shoulder just pork shoulder but it's i don't know it is not exactly a secret that there's no rib in the mic rib uh in 2014 they released a video to combat bad social media buzz about the mic rib uh they had one of the myth busters people on be like hey could you could you do us a solid you've been talking a lot of shit and we're trying not to look like the bad guy here so we don't want to sue you into generations of poverty hey how much to fucking

pay for your reputation right now to fucking help us dodge a bullet and so they took them inside of Mick Rib and again this is a little bit

like the Epstein files it's like yo this is the best version this is the best you had to offer because the video

is norrified there are I mean it looks like there's like babies on the on the thing

are those full parts or that's just glops of meat I think those are full parts before they get glopps

up. Oh. Mess around and got flopped up. It won't let me out. Okay, Akon. It's, uh, so we'll see.

Um, I mean, we won't. We got to get to the bottom. I mean, like, I just remember the subway one. They tried to come for the king.

And they missed, baby. They did. Brian asked if you're talking about Jared. No, we're not talking about Jared. Brian. We're talking about the time

that they tried to claim the subway tuna, uh, was made of turtle meat. Yes, it might have some turtle turtle in there. It was not primarily turtle meat. I think one thing where they're

like, well, if you're just like trawling, it's like there could be a boot in there, a dolphin, a turtle and tuna. You know that part where they cut the shark's stomach open and jaws and there's just like a fucking tricycle? The fuck is this? Yeah, I haven't, to be honest, I haven't

had a subby, tony in nigh on a year. damn man yeah well there you go there's your assignment get back out there um let's take a quick break we'll be right back i'm ed zitron of the better offline podcast and i want you to join me at this year's consumer electronics show in las Vegas nevada starting january 6th through january 10th 2026 we're doing 10 radio style podcast episodes about the world's biggest tech conference and i'll be joined by David Roth, Chloe Radcliffe, Adam Conover, Corey Doctoro, and a host of other guests to tell you all about what the tech industry is desperate to sell you in 2026.

It's going to be the single best coverage of CES ever recorded, even if it kills us. Listen to Better Offline on the iHot Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you happen to get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Dr. Priyankawali. And I'm Harri Kondabolu. It's a new year. And on the podcast's Health Stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health.

Which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that or am I just depressed? We talk to experts who share real experiences and insight. You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact in your our own life and just start doing that. We break down the topics you want to know more about. Sleep, stress, mental health, and how the world around us affects our overall health.

We talk about all the ways to keep your body in mind, inside and out, healthy. We human beings, all we want is connection. We just want to connect with each other. Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Are you desperately hoping for change in 2026, but feeling stuck? Just spinning your wheels in old routines and bad habits? I'm Dr. Lari Santos, and in a new year series of my show, The Happiness Lab,

I'm going to look at the science of getting, well, unstuck, unstuck at work, unstuck in your relationships, and even unstuck inside your mind. I am the absolute worst culprit when it comes to getting into these ruminative loops and just driving myself crazy. We'll look at ways to reignite your sense of purpose. rediscover your values, and get more creative. We'll also explore how to design a life that feels more fulfilling. It's sort of like the game of life.

I don't know if you ever played that game. Oh, my gosh, yes. You take the car along and you try and get money, and you try and get degrees, and you try and get to the end where either you have a mansion or a ranch or a shack. And once you get to retirement, you're done. What about the whole path along the way? So join me to get unstuck in 2026.

Listen to the Happiness Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your shows. Who would you call if the unthinkable happened? I just fell and started screaming. If you lost someone you loved in the most horrific way. I said through you got 22 times. The police, right? But what if the person you're supposed to go to for help

is the one you're the most afraid of? This dude is the devil. He's a snake. He'll hurt you. I got you. I got you. I got you. I'm Nikki Richardson, and this is the girlfriend. Friends, Untouchable. Detective Roger Galoopsky spent decades intimidating and sexually abusing black women across

Kansas City, using his police badge to scare them into silence. This is the story of a detective who seemed above the law until we came together to take him down. I told Roger Galoopsky, I said, you're going to see my face till the day that you die. Listen to the girlfriends, Untouchable, the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. And the Democrats, man.

Just when you thought that is so much a layup, how you're going to fuck up a historically unpopular administration being the opposition party to that, they come through you know, Trump does a illegal war crime invasion of Venezuela, very unpopular. I think it's in the, like, 70% of people oppose military action in this case. Yep. And the Democrats are like, I don't know, man, you got to tell us before you do that. This is fucked up. Like, we want to get in on this shit, too.

Right, yeah. That seems to be their main complaint, whereas they could just hop on the, that this is wrong and America is better than this and we are or America could be better than this I guess Oh so fucking The pushover nature of the Democrats is wild Gotta take the high road miles

Always got to take the high road When you're in hell The high road is still hell So of course we're talking about Tim Walz Who is all over CBS news Yeah the new maga propaganda mouthpiece for sure. Yeah, just the center

of Magger Rage for some time now. Especially since he was running for vice president. Called him weird. And they were like, oh, what the show you how weird we are. And they're like, oh, yeah, well, your son's a fucking R word. And they're like, what the fuck is this? Are you guys fucking nut? What the fuck

you, anyway, but these people are out of their fucking gourds. Yeah. But the right finally got the trophy they so desperately wanted because Tim Walts announced on Monday, he will not be running for a third term and he's dropping out of the governor's race. And this is after or just a frenzy of MAGA conspiracy theories were directed at him and the state of Minnesota.

So, like, over the weekend, Trump reposted a video of a truly bat-shit conspiracy theory about how Tim Walsh was connected to the murder of the slain state lawmaker Melissa Hortman. Like, who was shot by a MAGA supporter? Yes, Guy was like, I'm doing this for fucking hell vaccine freedom and the lockdowns

and all this other nonsense. Then during the break, we obviously weren't talking about the news, because there's a bunch of canned episodes, but the last few weeks were wild because there was a supposed expose of Minnesota daycares, specifically ones that were being ran by Somalis. And the videos, this guy Nick Shirley pulls up, like, to daycares, like knocking on the doors and, like, scared teacher, like, scaring teachers. And he's with dudes and, like, masks and, like, cameras and like, we just want to see the kids. And they're like, no. And he basically used the fact that these people weren't going to let strangers into a fucking daycare with cameras. as proof positive that essentially the take was like see let's see what the Somalis are doing

in Minnesota like Minnesota is a mess see what's happening under with Tim Walz blah blah blah blah blah blah just a completely like like manufactured controversy from the right just like eating pets and things like that to rate some kind of story um so that plus everything just compounded the chaos in the state and the wall said that it's best that he steps down to not detract focus from the actual governor's race and what Minnesotans need um and it just feels so governor's race that he's running in and he's like one of the stars of the Democratic Party. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because they're caving to the fucking stupid story about the daycares in Minnesota. And like they have found like fraud in certain instances, but like this is such a specific thing they're trying to paint on these immigrant communities. And like there's been a ton of stuff.

There's been a ton of pushback from people. They're like this one daycare that he claimed was closed. Like the owners are like, you can look at time stamped video of like kids entering and exiting. just aren't going to let this fucking guy or talk to or entertain this shit. So now that this has happened I'm sure we probably won't be hearing about

this Somali daycare thing and whatever. Or maybe it will because again everything Yeah, there's racism there. The right needs to like it can't be that the economy is bad because of the because of capitalism and the leadership of this country. It has to there always

has to be some like xenophobic scapegoat and yeah, here they are doing this one. It's actually the poor people's fault in this economy completely controlled by the richest people in the world. Yeah, and I'm like, and I'm like, and yeah, sure, there's fraud all over the place. But like, let's talk about, if we're talking volume of cash and money that's being defrauded from people, there are much larger trophies to be going for that, you know, could actually undo it. He's fucking selling pardons to people who are like committing billions of dollars of crimes.

but yeah like to be like i don't want to detract focus and and like just just the message that this sense like the fucking president actively openly protecting people on the epstein list who are like billionaires like he's obviously a criminal and they're going to just be like nah man like i i i just need to take a knee here and have a moral victory by being like a class act is just like right and i don't know if the dnc is putting pressure because again they hate having the the democrats always succumb to this framing of a controversy that the right generates and they play within their framing of yeah we will presume what you're saying is true and we're going to say why it's not true rather than being offhand being like this is nonsense dude sort

out your own fucking party like right people people like this is this is the like this is not it like go ahead try and prove it like fuck off but they're still very much into this like well maybe we can pick off some some maga voters if we we show that like we're like okay you know we we can we can take the high road and we know when something's bad um yeah it's yeah yeah it's disappointing it's it's a it's a it's a bad opposition party to have theory that I read from some maga candidate in Minnesota where they were saying that like it could be like Amy Klobuchar could step into the governor's race because she's not up for re-election

this year as a senator so even if she lost she lost she would like still stay a U.S. senator but if she wins the governor race she gets to appoint her replacement to the Senate if that beat Tim Walz

I mean I like that plan if they're getting shrewd with it but like I just don't even like the fucking message that this sends for him to like step down. It's just like fucking fight you guys like fight dude Howard don't be like oh no the thing that Donald Trump reposted and some other muckraker like fake ass journalist who got the tips from a islamophobic

like person who works in the state house it's nonsense but it's this is the thing like by one of my predictions for this year was like I don't know if the democrats are gonna fucking figure it out yet like they could do something and my prediction was that they've got this miles chill out. All right. All right. Yep. Could you imagine someone being like,

and this is the year that the Democrats? That's my prediction, baby. Yeah. All right. That's going to do it for this episode of Trending. We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves.

Get your vaccines while you still can. Get your flu shots. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye.
