This Podcast Is... Uncalled For - Origins of ThanksRibbing

Episode Date: April 15, 2024

When your friend coins a new holiday based around the seasonal release of a popular sandwich. From our episode "Brian Boye (Fringe Show)"

This guy, this guy coined a phrase. Thanks, ribbing. So I believe that the McRib is quite possibly the tastiest delicacy known to man. Do I think that they are healthy for us? No. No, they are not. Have I eaten a quadruple McRib? Yeah.

Was it a triple? Was it a McRib? triple? I think it was at least a triple. And I think the next step was the quad that nobody was ever brave enough to. So have I eaten a McTribble? Yes, a McRib with a like bun, processed pork patty, a little bottom, but like kind of big mac'd it. A big macum of a rib, right? And then when you eat that, though, you still have to eat the fry that goes with it, too. Otherwise, that's cheating. So my heart did slow down.

But it was the thing that I can say I've done. I'm a fan. I believe that the reason why the McRib is so kind of hit or miss and why they don't do it all the time is because McRibs are actually made of processed unicorn meat. It's why they taste so magical, Mike. And there's a limited number of unicorns that they have keep under wraps. So they have to allow them to repopulate so that they can slaughter them and

make more McRibs. So it's not actually processed pork. That's what they say. But it's it's it's actually McRib is actually unicorn meat that they've processed. I love everything about the McRib. I like the Kaiser Roll right. Perfectly toasted. The sauce while not a classic like well-known sauce very like Midwestern kind of generic, unoffensive sauce. I can do with or without the onions. I usually leave them on just because I'm a purist. And the crunch of the pickle, like McDonald's pickles, I think, are Barnard and some of the best.

It's just so good. And they don't do it as much anymore, but it used to be like you order to make rib combo for like $4.99 or whatever it was, $5.99. Would you like another? Like a buck extra, you get the extra sandwiches. That's just like good economics. A whole sandwich for like a dollar?

Yeah, yeah, sign me up. Give me the other sandwich. Listen to this and much more on this podcast is Uncalled for. Available now wherever you podcast. Thank you.
