That was probably the absolute best use of "Sir, this is a Wendy's" that'll ever exist, the comedic timing of such a meme'd phrase could not have been better!
An animation depicting how this episode derailed would be GOLDEN. I can't stop imaging Bob and Wade becoming increasingly frantic and competitive with every hilarious combination of solutions they come up with, everything escalating while Mark just dies (of laughter) in the corner
5:24 "YOU!! SHOW ME HOW YOU MAKE CHOCOLATE MILK SHAKE" Im dead....im still crying from laughing...was just listening to this while working, caught me off guard so bad 😂😂😂
This episode is now my absolute favourite my god. I was having a horrible batch of anxiety in college then listened to this episode and crash my anxiety into a tree! (Aka, it made me feel better) And now, after another horrible day at college, this gave me the laugh i needed 😊
this is potentially one of the funniest episodes we've ever gotten... i honestly straight up had to like cover my face and put my head down during work while i was listening to this and eventually actually burst out laughing.. 🤣
The "sir, this is a wendy's" was even more well played when you take into account that Bob said "wait i know the regional/district manager, Dave" since Dave Thomas was the founder and spokes person for Wendy's on all the commercials through the 90's.
Idk, if people are going to be forced to wait for several minutes to get their order anyway (like Mark was), why _not_ take the extra 30 seconds to replace the chocolate?
the Ronald McDonald outfit & clown makeup, the Wendy Red Pigtail Wig & Blue Dress, the Burger King outfit including a replica of the King Head, the Jack in the Box Head & Suit, the Remote Control Taco Bell Chihuahua, the Little Caesar's Toga & Laurel, the Colonel glasses, fake mustache, toupe, bolo, & suit, etc etc you just need a copy of all of these Mascot Outfits in your car at any time so if you need them you have them x3
I really did appreciate Bob telling us listeners his light turned off. Also, this episode was insanely good. Right back to the first few episodes.. and I think it's actually because they got Distracted for once!
I used Bob's Fridge and this episode (Illegal Advice) to introduce my partner to Distractible. Had to give the best of the old and the best of the new. Y'all almost killed the man 🤣
I listened to this podcast for the first time yesterday. Literally made my day! Even better because I was on my way to work. Been so long since I’ve had a good belly laugh.
Ive worked at mcdonalds. It doesnt take that long to go into the freezer and replace the chocolate. I would have told them to please replace the chocolate
Thing is, if they have the standard machines, they literally only have to switch out a syrup pouch that gets hooked into the machine and it mixes as it comes out of the nozzle. If they make you wait anyway, there's absolutely no reason they couldn't have done that, it takes maybe thirty seconds to a minute tops to change if you suck at it. They simply didn't feel like doing it.
i have to side with wade, apple pie is great, BUT, pie with just whipped cream is wrong, you have apple pie and custard fellow brits will understand but for those who dont knwo Frozen custard in the US is nothing like British custard and neither is a flan or any other set custard. In the UK “custard" generally means a pouring sauce added to crumbles, pies, cakes or other desserts (often called puddings in the UK). The US equivalent would be “creme anglais “ or a vanilla sauce would be similar. The UK version is usually thicker. It really isn't an American thing. Americans would probably add ice cream or whipped cream to something like apple crisp/crumble but in the UK the choice would include custard and pouring cream.
As a former McDonalds employee, sometimes the machine isn't broken. It is for a variety of reasons. Such as they don't have the syrup to make the chocolate shake. If the store breaks a record you get a pin.
I was at a Hardee's. I ordered a burger without tomatoes. When I got to my car I saw it had a big slice of tomato. I took it out and threw it at the restaurant door. It stuck and slid down. I got in my car and started eating. The manager came out to my car and asked if I threw the tomato on the door. I said it couldn't possibly be me, I ordered a burger with no tomatoes. He just turned and went back inside.
Mark, I think you could just ask them to throw some chocolate syrup in there for a delicious half and half swirl shake. It’s always a good compromise 😉
Little trick of the trade, they don't ask you to park to make it faster for you, they do it so they can get more customers through while your waiting for your food. Most fast food places has sensors throughout the drive through and they want your car out of it so it doesn't just sit there racking up time and causing other cars to rack up time
5:23 I used to work at McDonald’s and I would’ve started crying while making it😭 this kinda happened to me, this like 30 yr old man came in from the back which you need a password to get into that we later found out he stole the password from my manager and he just stormed in and screamed at everyone “GET ME A ICE CREAM” we didn’t give it to him and he just got banned😭
Did you know when they say the milkshake machine or cold coffee/frappe drink machines are “broken“ it actually mean one of the following things; 1. No one wants to actually take the time to clean the machine. (Bc it takes like 4-6 hours or something) 2. Sometimes only the managers are aloud to clean them (so dumb) and the have left for the day 😂 But instead of telling you the truth they say it’s broke. I’m sorry, after telling someone it is broke for years week after week someone is bound to tell you to just buy a new one then if it keeps breaking down. 🤦🏻♀️ Do they think the customers won’t catch on? You’re working at McDonald’s, not a bunch of geniuses. 😂
