Jamie, have you heard what happened last year to the CEO of Beyond Meat? The vegan burger company? Nah. He got suspended indefinitely from the company. Because at a football game he got into a fight with a guy. Oh, and this was an Arkansas two which adds another layer special pig series. Yeah. So we love sports. He got in a fight and what like, almost bid part of his nose off. Oh, that's not vegan friendly to him.
Unknown Speaker 1:00
It was mentioned on those Cartlidge.
Speaker 2 1:05
He was being nosy about it. Oh, well, nosy. Well, we like to get a little nosy here on lung nervous laughter podcast. Welcome,
Unknown Speaker 1:13
everyone.
Speaker 2 1:14
I'm Jamie. I'm Alyssa. And today we're going to talk about other things you like to munch on?
Speaker 1 1:21
Yeah, you might not want to eat after this. My stomach's actually growling a little bit. So it'll be interesting to see if I'm still hungry after this. Probably will be because there's nothing there's very little that can keep me from eating. Like, one time my dad came to visit me when I worked at the funeral home. And he called me and was like, Oh, I'm here. And it's like, Okay, I just got to finish up in the back here real quick. And then we can go eat and he was like, you just involve that body and you're gonna go eat and like, hell yeah.
Unknown Speaker 1:59
I'm hungry. Nothing with this dead body. Fine.
Speaker 1 2:03
I mean, wearing gloves. I wash my hands. Yeah, yeah. What did you guys eat? Mexican food.
Unknown Speaker 2:11
It's good. Oh, nice. Nice.
Speaker 1 2:12
I can't remember the name of the place. But it was one that I went to a lot. Sounds
Speaker 2 2:18
like a fond memory. Yes. And speaking of fond memories, McDonald's is a place of many fond memories. Yes. Alyssa had her birthdays there. I did at least one. Yeah, my future one.
Speaker 1 2:36
Oh, yeah, I forgot that we were talking about doing that shit. Because I wanted to do Barbie this year. Maybe I shouldn't have
Unknown Speaker 2:43
to be McDonald's.
Unknown Speaker 2:47
Sounds amazing.
Speaker 2 2:50
I'm sorry if my voice sounds a little weird by the way. Like I had like a think a little bit of a cold earlier this week. So my my voice that point the battery of the party and then I got fucked up because I got a little sick again. Oh, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 3:06
I don't know why I said Oh, my meant to say bummer. But
Unknown Speaker 3:08
I said bomb. I don't know why. So I hope you're not listening to this on an airport. Without headphones.
Speaker 1 3:18
If you are you deserve to be fucking bombed. I'm just gonna say that right now. I do not want to hear anyone's goddamn phone and public. triggered me like, start
Unknown Speaker 3:29
playing sex noises
Unknown Speaker 3:32
I fucking hate that shit.
Speaker 2 3:33
Put your earphones back in when you're listening to us and have
Speaker 1 3:37
fucking headphones for your shitty little kids to like, I don't want to hear their game or their show. Yeah,
Speaker 2 3:43
I was at Social Security office for hours. And there was someone there their kid had this iPad and they kept playing like an instrumental version of let it go over and over and over and I was like, ah, but anyway,
Speaker 1 4:02
back to McDonald's. Yes. A quick little blurb about McDonald's. Recently in Kentucky. Speaking of children. I think it was three locations in Kentucky. got fined because they had children as young as 10 working there.
Speaker 2 4:21
Why it's yeah. Like the 1800s.
Speaker 1 4:25
Semi recently late last year, but yeah. by Ron dang on Friday, mom is gonna go have cigarette. I feel like
Speaker 2 4:36
if I saw a kid because I've seen people posting about like very young children working on Facebook and stuff and like restaurants and everything. And there's always a bunch of people there. And the comments are like good. Learn them something I've worked since I was three years old, and it's like, okay, that's so
Speaker 1 5:00
depressing. Like, if you had a hard time when you were a kid, why would you not want better for your own kid? Like that's the thing that's always blown my mind like, just like kids in general. Like, yeah, like, yeah, kids annoy me sometimes, but I want them to have a good life. Yeah. wiping my butt when they get older, so I don't know why this is where my brain went. Sorry.
Speaker 2 5:26
You better get good practicing Malkia gonna be wiping listen.
Speaker 1 5:34
I respect to them. It's so fucking weird today. Sorry. One other quick thing. Um, I think you would heard of those two. And we were talking about this episode, but I had heard about a McDonald's employee like jizzing and the tartar sauce. Oh, yeah. Nope. So that's not true. But I swear it was real. Is
Speaker 2 6:07
that the thing with the without? Was that related to the herpes thing? Yes. Okay. Yeah, I
Unknown Speaker 6:13
wonder if like,
Speaker 2 6:14
I think I remember in the news and stuff, but I think I remember it being like a hoax, but I can't I don't can't remember like the story.
Speaker 1 6:21
Yeah, well, there were a couple actually. But apparently none of them are real. But yeah, I could have sworn there's a McDonald's cheese incident. But I'm sure there are but not that we know of. Oh, that's kind of the scary thing about a lot of these little stories that I found is I think that you know, McDonald's is such a huge corporation that when weird shit does happen. They can just like silence people. So yeah, sure some of these are true. I mean, and
Speaker 2 6:56
honestly, speaking of McDonald's, a big corporation trying to silence people. Um, I can get into the hot coffee. Oh, yes. things if you would like, please do.
Speaker 1 7:10
Leave your preconceived notions. Aside fat head. Yes.
Speaker 2 7:15
We need you to listen up. Listen. I don't know why. Okay, oops, sorry, Phil off today. I feel like I'm still recovering from the Halloween party and everything. Which we do have. We did record a little audio, but I have yet to review it. So I don't know. Maybe that'll be a little future. Little surprise thing do
Speaker 1 7:38
a Nightmare Before Christmas. Oh, yeah. Spooky drunk folks. And three were yelling. We're talking about that before recording. The next day. Both of our throats are kind of irritating. Yeah, just fuckin shouting.
Speaker 2 7:56
I honestly didn't realize I shouted that much. But I think I drink a little more than I realized and just got really loud. Um, so for this, I mostly I watched the hot coffee documentary. And I kind of dribbled in some notes from other likes the
Unknown Speaker 8:18
resources to the McDonald's.
Speaker 2 8:22
Uz dried and layer. A nice little glaze. Oh, this documentary is called hot coffee and it is included for free. I will say let me okay, let me just read what I have here. Because I feel like I always write something out. And I never really like read it. And then I do all over the place. So the documentary didn't talk a ton about the case. It was more about tort reform and how the government and big business suck ass and do fucked up stuff. So tort reform, for those who may not be familiar with the term like I was not. It was when a bunch of people are bitching about frivolous lawsuits. And this McDonald's hot coffee case basically became the poster child for it. I assume most folks are familiar with Stella Lineback. Versus McDonald's. Thanks to the giant news frenzy that absolutely trashed this woman, which is
Unknown Speaker 9:23
fucking Nana.
Speaker 2 9:26
87 year old woman, or 79 but this is how the documentary starts. With all some of these news, things just talking shit about this woman spilling hot coffee in her lap. And in addition, they like interviewed some random people on the street. And all the people were like, yeah, yeah, it's people like her that are making all the prices of everything go up. Um, so for those who are not familiar with the story, still a lie back was a 79 year old woman who spilled hot coffee from McDonald's on herself and sued McDonald's over it in 1994. The way the story was portrayed in the news media made it sound like it was just some warm coffee like she just spilt on her lap and got upset about it. And tons of people were complaining about ridiculous lawsuits like this, driving up the prices of things. And these lawsuits needed to be stopped. And some states even enforced caps on the payouts, which the documentary has some really heartbreaking medical lawsuits that got kept. If you want to check that out. I didn't want to go into those a ton because it kind of pulls away from the food things we're talking about today. But yeah, if you're interested in that, definitely, definitely check out the hot coffee documentary.
Speaker 1 10:52
Also look up our Texas Governor Greg Abbott, because he received a bunch of fucking money when a tree I believe it was a tree fell on him while he was running and paralyzed him. And you know what he fucking did? He put caps on other people in the same fucking situation. So yeah, fucking jump in.
Speaker 2 11:14
Yeah, that's, yeah, they talked about but to you in the dark, not Greg Abbott. But Texas, I think was one of the states that really pushed a bunch of tort reform laws and caps. And there was all like, you know, all these lawsuits are the reason like health care and everything's going up. But all that shits in place and health care still going up. So it's just
Speaker 1 11:39
yeah, that's a good point. 1994 was like a perfect fucking time compared to now. Now we're in a Great Depression that no one is acknowledging and Amazon just financially and emotionally. Yes, definitely.
Speaker 2 11:56
So here's what actually happened as kind of described by the documentary. Stella's nephew, drove them through the McDonald's drive thru. Then they pulled into a parking lot spot and parked their Ford Probe. What do you will proctologist
Unknown Speaker 12:14
immediately went to but so thank you for saying that.
Speaker 2 12:18
I kept thinking about the office from there at the Chili's and least telling that joke, and he's like, what, in the proctologist was like, I drive a pro. Anyway, her nephew handed Stella her coffee, and she studied it between her knees, you know how you just kind of put it between your legs so you can add your cream and sugar. And then that is when the one well known spill happened. And she shouted and pain because the injury was way, way worse than the news reports lead on. And I think before I kind of go on to describe that we can have another tasty blurb from Alyssa. Sure.
Speaker 1 13:01
We'll just keep rolling with McDonald's. In 2014, someone in Japan found a fried human tooth and their French fries, fried tooth.
Unknown Speaker 13:14
I think my teeth feel weird.
Speaker 1 13:18
fell out of somebody's mouth, I guess. And this apparently, like really affected McDonald's in Japan and they kind of didn't bounce back until it took them like a couple years to really bounce back. Wow. So that's cool. Book, McDonald's. True. I mean, I agree. They're nuggets are really good. But they did run a smear campaign against an innocent old woman. Yeah, I don't have the year on this, but a Dutchman found a cockroach smashed in half. So I guess he was eating the hashbrown in the little paper that it comes in. And for some reason, he took the rest out. So he'd already eaten most of it. And there's a login bug.
Speaker 2 14:06
Oh, I have to hit my arm of my chair because I'm just like, so grossed out. Okay.
Speaker 1 14:12
Yeah, that one. He just posted on Reddit. So some people were like, it's fake, but
Unknown Speaker 14:20
I believe it. Yeah. Two
Speaker 1 14:22
more quick things. In 2009, a seven year old Swiss girl allegedly allegedly found a condom amongst her friend tries. Hmm. A little special sauce, a little special sauce and someone in Easton, Pennsylvania found a condom in his burger at McDonald's. And he was given two coupons to make up for the incident but he ended up filing a lawsuit. Yeah. And it didn't go into detail about if it was used or whatever, but at that point, fucking gross. Yeah, terrifying
Speaker 2 14:57
because I feel like your brain goes to It's used and then if it's used like, is that content? Like how contaminated is it like then
Speaker 1 15:06
we go back to the gym? Yeah. People be fucking at McDonald's.
Unknown Speaker 15:11
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 15:15
Don't get why.
Speaker 2 15:19
Um, I'm so back to the to the hot coffee. At this point in the documentary, they are showing the same people that they were talking to earlier talking shit about her. They were showing them the pictures, and then you just kind of you see the people just saying like,
Speaker 1 15:39
Whoa, what the lot? Wow, I'm a dick. Yeah, and
Speaker 2 15:43
they feel they change their tune real quick. So she suffered third degree burns. And it was so severe, the doctors didn't think she was going to live. The burns were crazy bad and they had to do skin grafts. I won't get too graphic. But I'll describe it a little bit. If you think it'll bother you skip ahead, like 15 or 30 seconds. So it basically wrapped from like the top of her thigh to her inner thigh and some of her back thigh. Um, I think we've all spilled like some type of liquid in your lap. So you can imagine how that kind of spreads and just gets under your lap and stuff too. Um, I'm not sure if I was seeing someone for like fatty tissue or like, it looks more like the coffee. It looked like coffee like ate away at her skin as to like, you know, blistering and things like that. I would say it's almost kind of similar looking to like a krokodil user's skin decay. I don't know if you've ever like seen that. But
Unknown Speaker 16:46
I haven't seen a picture the
Speaker 2 16:48
looks. looks kind of similar. But yeah, so it's pretty, pretty awful. I was not expecting the images I looked at like, I knew that. I heard that they were bad. But I didn't notice how. Yeah. As it would turn out the coffee is holding temperature was at 180 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. So it's just
Unknown Speaker 17:16
like way over boiling, right? Yeah.
Speaker 2 17:18
For reference. Well know. For reference, the water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, and the preferred drinking temperatures around 130 to 140. Oh, shit. So it's like, Oh, wait. So it wasn't far from it really wasn't far from boiling. Just like 20 degrees. 23 degrees under boiling. Yeah. And then the preferred drinking temperature. So like, think when you get your coffee at Starbucks, someone who knows how to handle coffee, I guess. It's probably more around like 130 to one 140 is like the preferred drinking temperature. Yeah, so imagine that being like a short term hunger. And this is that is what McDonald's had in their handbook was to have it at 180 to 190. Oh, what every McDonald's was going to do. They wrote a letter to notify McDonald's to let them know maybe something was wrong with their machine or something. They assumed McDonald's would take care of the medical stuff, since it was so insanely severe and around $10,000 So McDonald's have only offered them $800
Unknown Speaker 18:37
yet government
Speaker 2 18:41
don't forget to buy one get one big mac so they decided to take McDonald's to court because obviously McDonald's was not taking it seriously. But courts assigned 20% fall to lie back for spilling the coffee and 80% to daddy Donald's since since there were around 700 previous coffee complaints so shit speaking of sweeping things under the rug like you mentioned earlier, coffee burn complaints and so they were obviously ignoring LIS Stella sought punitive damages for $2.7 million the judge reduced it to 480,000 but did state that McDonald's engaged in willful Okay, I think this is a mistake on my part because it looks like it says wanton and reckless behavior so yeah, willful wanton and reckless behavior. Sorry, Jamie.
Speaker 2 19:59
Eventually a A confidential amount was settled on and McDonald's lowered their temperature by 10 degrees. That's it. Yeah, yeah, no, right. I do have a couple other like McDonald's coffee related stories, but I will get to those in a second.
Speaker 1 20:15
Go ahead. Okay. So we're going to keep rolling with the condom theme. In 2007, a man in Vermont, said that he went to Burger King a bit into his sandwich and noticed in the odd rubbery taste. He pulled his mouth away and he noticed an unwrapped condom sticking out of the sandwich. He claims when he complained to management about the disturbing additive, the matter was laughed off. Oh, fuck you come to
Speaker 1 20:55
see them man filed a lawsuit for emotional and physical distress caused by the incident. And three years later in October, October of 2010. The case was settled out of court for an unspecified amount of money.
Unknown Speaker 21:10
So you
Unknown Speaker 21:11
just
Speaker 2 21:12
keep thinking of it, like when they're laughing at them like oh, wait, was this Adam Sandler or Carrie?
Speaker 1 21:26
We watched Carrie on Halloween. Yeah. We're gonna move over to Arby's now. Which I will say I fuckin love SM Arby's. I think it's sounds really good. Every once in a while. It's kind of nasty. But yeah, like I crave that. Like the cheese in that sauce. But like cheese, brisket eat sandwich, whatever. Oh, yeah. I
Unknown Speaker 21:50
mean sandwich. Yeah.
Speaker 1 21:53
They have horsey sauce that you can buy now, which was my favorite. You can get it at the grocery store. So I've been putting horsey sauce on a lot of stuff. Nice. But in 2005, a Miami man was dining at his local Arby's when he found a piece of human skin in his chicken sandwich. Oh,
Speaker 2 22:13
how did he like know it was human skin? I mean, I don't know. So
Speaker 1 22:18
the substance was allegedly a dangling piece of flesh about three quarters of an inch long. And to answer your question, it looked like I was seeing fingerprints on it.
Speaker 2 22:32
This is like happen at the factory level like
Speaker 1 22:35
so. What happened with this one? So I guess the health department went to talk to the restaurant manager. And they noticed that he had a bandage on his thumb. This is a fucking manager too. It's not just like somebody that works there. But the manager said that he had been shredding lettuce and he got his thumb in the shredder a little bit. He cleaned everything. But they kept the lettuce. Ah, somehow the lightest didn't get thrown
Unknown Speaker 23:12
away or clean.
Unknown Speaker 23:15
Yeah, so
Unknown Speaker 23:19
that's really terrifying to think about.
Speaker 1 23:22
Actually, I'll do one more quick one cool. Speaking of band aids and stuff. In 2011, there was a man that went to a Pizza Hut and Ballston Lake, Molson falls. So he built into his pizza, and he said it felt like he was biting into a folded up piece of plastic. But what ended up being was a fucking banned day. And fortunately, he didn't swallow it. It was a blue bandage that had been baked into the crust. After making the discovery, he sealed the band aid in a plastic bag to bring it to Pizza Huts attention. And the guy was like, Hey, I only want you to like reimburse me for the testing because there was blood on the band aid so he wanted to make sure that he didn't get anything but pizza. It was just kind of like like, in your mouth,
Unknown Speaker 24:29
they're all gonna love these fucking losers out here and causes and band aids.
Speaker 1 24:36
charlatan Joe mass. Idiot, man, we
Speaker 2 24:42
have to serve you clean. What is this? I'm so proud part of me. Questions was back to the McDonald's hot coffee. Um, if lowering it by 10 degrees was a Enough doesn't sound like it or if they just even did it like at all. wasn't
Speaker 1 25:06
the reason it was so hot was to keep it fresh longer or something. Wasn't it like something to save them money?
Speaker 2 25:13
No idea, but probably. Yeah,
Speaker 1 25:16
I thought I remembered it being some reason like that it could be totally wrong.
Speaker 2 25:20
I mean, whatever the reason it is it's whatever it does probably save some like pennies in some ways for sure. But in 2009, a woman in Australia burned herself and filed a lawsuit. This one was harder to find information about, but it sounds like she was a passenger in the car and spilled her her coffee on her hand while the car was turning. And she got second degree burns. But it kind of just sounds like she got super ridiculed like or old girl stello
Speaker 1 25:58
getting loose coffee loser.
Speaker 2 26:03
So I don't know if this like this lawsuits like going anywhere like I'm kind of curious about how bad the burn is like it could be the almost the exact same thing like this. Like, yes, it was kind of her mistake for spilling the coffee. But holy shit. It was way hotter than it should have been. Yeah, it
Speaker 1 26:23
should just be an inconvenience, not like a medical emergency. Yeah.
Speaker 2 26:27
And there was even an injury in the gym in June of this year. Oh, yeah. Which is 2023 for those listening in the future
Unknown Speaker 26:38
here of our Lord 23
Speaker 2 26:42
and the lawsuit was filed in September. It seems like a there's this is kind of like just coming up and ongoing and stuff. So it but I didn't get like a ton of information. But um, on June, Mabel Childress Childress an 85 year old woman, all these old women's bone coffee zones. She ordered a cup of coffee from McDonald's drive thru in San Francisco, she put the coffee in her cup holder and drove to her doctor's appointment. She parked and picked up her coffee to drink. But the lid was not secured on correctly and the whole cup spilled onto her. And the quote, NPR, the coffee burn Childress on her stomach grain and leg area and the left scarring on her grain. I know, when she returned to McDonald's to make a complaint, none of the three employees that she spoke with, fold out an incident report. And now she's suing the fast food giant and the one of its San Francisco franchises in California Superior Court. So yeah. So this is going to be kind of just like a case of negligence. Since they did not properly secure it, and she continues to suffer from pain and emotional distress from the the incident. So yeah, I'm questioning if if McDonald's Reduce the heat enough, or it's even being enforced, like I couldn't find that I was trying to like find like a McDonald's handbook, so I could see what but I couldn't really find it. We're
Unknown Speaker 28:28
gonna have to do a Nathan for you and get a job there.
Speaker 2 28:34
I almost want to do that. Or I could just ask read it, you know? Yeah. Um, but yeah, if you know, let us know. Um, but that was, uh, that was it for my McDonald's hot coffee.
Speaker 1 28:52
Yeah, that documentary really surprised me when I watched it. Yeah, me too. So I feel like McDonald's really did do a good job of spinning it like oh, it's just a frivolous thing.
Speaker 2 29:03
Yeah. Like this. Just cuz
Speaker 1 29:07
then you see the pictures and Yeah, terrific. And like, old people's skin is so fucking thin. It's like paper sometimes. So I'm sure that just disintegrated the shit. Yeah. Oh,
Speaker 2 29:21
and then I mean, you imagine like she's, she's an old woman. And I mean, there are parked in the parking lot. So I don't know if they like got her out of the car. But like, she's not going to be moving fast. And yeah. Try to you know, get it cleaned up or get some relief like it's just really sad, Sam. Well,
Speaker 1 29:42
I'll read some more. So actually, this one's kind of funny. So we're moving on the our Taco Bell segment. Whoa. In 1997 a Utah family brought a lawsuit against Taco Bell claiming their son found a piece of fecal matter After one of the soft shell tacos
Speaker 2 30:06
are they sure that it was Latin and it wasn't just Taco Bell?
Unknown Speaker 30:09
Like it kind of looks like
Unknown Speaker 30:15
diarrhea like
Speaker 1 30:18
and also I'm gonna criticize this Kid's Choice like I feel like the soft shell tacos are like the shittiest thing you can get I
Speaker 2 30:28
don't think I I've gotten the cheesy chipotle chicken roll up but taco Yeah, I don't understand why I'm
Speaker 1 30:37
gonna victim blame this kid like the corporation so it was described as a blob of excrement. That was the size of a smashed Jr. meant
Unknown Speaker 30:58
the cycle tiny, tiny turd
Speaker 1 31:04
jumped out of the toilet and into soft shell taco, where it belongs. So the health department tested it and they confirmed it was poop. But there wasn't like food on any of the outside of it. Like there would be if it was like in a pile of lettuce or whatever. So they were like, this is kind of weird. It's just a plain like sample doesn't really look like it came out of a taco. So that one didn't have any resolution to that one kind of appears that the family was scamming them.
Speaker 2 31:39
They did a little poop placement, little poop placement.
Speaker 1 31:44
In 2006 there was a woman named Brianna Ralston that got Taco Bell for her and her daughter. And you know, you get Taco Bell you get home you're dumping it all out. You're like yes, it's gonna be so fucking good. Here
Unknown Speaker 32:00
to have the what's wonderful night of your life.
Speaker 1 32:03
You're just ready for greatness. Well, then she realized that there's fucking blood all over the inside of the bag and like on the wrappers of the food. So she calls the restaurant and the manager is like Oh yeah, and employee cut their finger pull out all over the fucking shit.
Speaker 2 32:27
Hey, before you wrap that up with your finger up, we need you to pack this back. I know you're bleeding but
Speaker 1 32:37
everything a little bit nasty. And one more incident for Taco Bell in 2015. Caitlyn Rowland allegedly discovered an acrylic french tip nail in the bottom of her nachos and immediately became physically ill talk about offered her $40 in gift cards. Let's go back take it out just go back and get nachos without a fingernail. Yes.
Speaker 2 33:08
Taco Bell kind of expect to find something there that shouldn't be there.
Speaker 1 33:15
Talk about is definitely one of my favorite fast foods. It's just so good.
Speaker 2 33:20
Yeah. I haven't had it in a while though. Because they're, I know this might sound stupid to say but it's gotten more expensive. It
Speaker 1 33:29
has like when me and GE go like we're spending an embarrassing amount of money.
Speaker 2 33:35
Yeah, it's like, um, you know, I like the food. I expect the quality that it is.
Speaker 1 33:43
Yeah, but it's just yeah.
Speaker 2 33:48
But yeah, now it's exceeded the amount I'm willing to pay for.
Speaker 1 33:52
It really does. Oh, I don't think I mentioned this on the podcast, but now is a good time. So I have the Taco Bell app on my phone. Oh, uh huh. And someone hacked my taco bell account and ordered food in New York.
Speaker 2 34:07
With their order. In softshell taco. Their order
Speaker 1 34:12
was really lame. I'm pulling it up right now. Yeah, it was like I can't believe I fucking got hacked and then you know, had to get a new credit card. Change all my fucking auto draft for this person to order like, it wasn't even that much. I was like, you're gonna need like twice that if you're eating Taco Bell. Okay, here we go. So they ordered it at a Taco Bell in Brooklyn off of Flatbush Avenue. I mean tacos.
Speaker 1 34:49
More total is 2163. Okay, okay, this is a little more than I remember. Actually. No, it's not. They got a Steak grilled cheese burrito, which was 629 They got a chicken case ADIA, which was also 629 which I usually get a case of steak
Unknown Speaker 35:10
with extra jalapeno sauce.
Speaker 1 35:14
And then they got a 12 pack of Cinnabon delights, which was 720 900
Speaker 2 35:19
they have a Cinnabon Taco Bell. Yeah.
Speaker 1 35:24
The I think it's just a little donut. The whole thing is okay, yeah, I think they've had that for a while. Oh, am I just fun? They do
Unknown Speaker 35:39
it in Brooklyn. Bonds over here. Sorry.
Speaker 1 35:47
The most psychotic part. What is what they ordered for sauces? They got one mild sauce packet and one hot sauce packet. So two packets for two items enough. You need like not you need that
Speaker 2 36:02
for like a bite. Yeah, you need like two or three just for the case of do? Yes. At least people suck now. Talk about
Speaker 1 36:13
it. But yeah, if you're listening, I hope that you got diarrhea for my taco bell because
Unknown Speaker 36:23
there was a fried fucking tooth in your talk.
Unknown Speaker 36:25
I hope so too.
Speaker 2 36:27
Did already talk about on a previous episode? My father, my stepfather in law eating. I think it was six taco Supremes. No.
Unknown Speaker 36:39
Oh.
Speaker 2 36:43
So he, he he went to donate blood and his iron or salt or whatever stuff was really, really high. And the lady was it was like, almost too high to donate. And she was like, like, she was like, damn, like, what did you eat? Do you eat like a lot of like, red meat or whatever? And he was like, no, and then he was like, Oh, I did eat six taco taco screams at Taco Bell yesterday. She was like, What the fuck? When he told us a story, we just bust out laughing we're just like how he was like, Well, I just like went to order on the touchpad thing and he was like, I don't know what the fuck I was doing. So it was like 30 or 40 bucks or whatever. Like that I get but he goes got like a six taco Supremes with like bacon and like all kinds of other shit.
Unknown Speaker 37:35
That sounds awesome.
Speaker 2 37:38
Oh, so yeah, that was that was a fun time. Hell yeah. But speaking of all these, you know, bloody things and food and finger. Well, I spoiled it. The Wendy's chili finger. We'll talk about next. So this story gets kind of it's a little while. It's a little wild. On March 22 2005, a woman named Ana yalla I hope I pronounced it right. Went to Wendy's to have dinner with her family and ordered herself a nice little bowl of chili con carne.
Speaker 1 38:21
I do like the chili. I will say that I know it's the leftover hamburgers and stuff but I don't care. Oh, I don't think I've ever had the chili. Oh, what you do is you get a big potato and put whatever the fuck on it and then you put chili on Oh yeah, totally good.
Unknown Speaker 38:36
Maybe I will try it eventually.
Speaker 1 38:37
I ate that a lot when I worked at the funeral home because it was a good cheap lunch and was filling.
Speaker 2 38:43
I don't know why but that sounds cozy like eating eating Chili Chili got some wife on that body
Speaker 2 39:02
as she was chewing her chili, she's She bit into something weird, spit it out and began to throw up in doing so she also spit out a severed one and a half inch human finger. I measured my pointer finger and that was just above my knuckle so that's like a like a big chunk of fingers. Yeah. Baby
Unknown Speaker 39:26
carrot.
Speaker 2 39:27
Yeah, all I was thinking about baby carrots the whole time. I was writing this like the guy even made a little note of that. But I just kept thinking of like biting into the finger. You said that it was just the pressure of biting into a baby carry Yeah. Oh, I
Speaker 1 39:39
want to do it so bad. But I just want to check about it. I can't work to the funeral home. Just kidding. I would never do that.
Unknown Speaker 39:51
You could have replaced it with a baby carrot.
Speaker 1 39:56
It's a normal fingers and just like an orange part like I was like that when I got her from the hospital. That could be good.
Speaker 2 40:05
Like little halloween snacks just kind of make little baby carrots look like a finger. And that's like, kind of like a realistic experience, you know?
Unknown Speaker 40:13
Cuz I really want to bite a finger off but now but
Unknown Speaker 40:16
let's do it. Next. Yeah
Speaker 2 40:22
Just kidding. Everybody at home. Um, so obviously, Anna followed up with legal action, including, which included suing Wendy's. As the police were investigating, they started to get suspicious. They were unable to find evidence of the thorough claim. Anna made her father and Oh, Anna, her father and her mother in law made sorry. Her brother in law said he did not see her Pharaoh up, but did see her spit it out. And none of the employees there during the time so they had to like clean up any throw up or anything. So they're kind of like, Huh, why did you say you drew up? The website lists smoking gun had photocopies of the San Jose Police Department from April 20 2005.
Unknown Speaker 41:19
I bet those are funny.
Speaker 2 41:24
So I'm going to read a chunky quote from that. So on March 22 2005, a San Jose Police Officer transported the detached finger finger and so they transplant and ported it to the Santa Clara County Coroner's Office for forensic analysis. It was initially concluded that the specimen presented was not consistent with an object that had been cooked in Chile at 170 degrees for three hours as is police for Wendy's in preparation for chili Wait, hold on as is please for Wendy's in their preparation for chili that doesn't make sense. Sorry. I didn't like review is
Unknown Speaker 42:22
preparation for chili
Speaker 2 42:23
preparation for chili. Um, so yeah, the sample was also sent to a forensic pathologist the food person to I feel like I wrote the sloppy in my brains trying to edit it. So yeah, like it got sent for specific testing to be completed. The tests disproved some of the statements made by ano in regard to the finger in the Chile. A report prepared by the California Department of Health Services indicates that a trace back on the food products used by Wendy's revealed that no contamination or accidents have been reported. According to Wendy's, corporate director of marketing, the Wendy's senior corporate vice president's sorry, there's like so much. So many stupid words. descriptive words, unless Wendy's Corporation has lost an estimated $1 million a day since the incident was made. Public Sure.
Speaker 1 43:33
Yeah. Just like hey, this no throw up in the lobby. There's no fingers in the chili.
Unknown Speaker 43:39
You must acquit.
Speaker 1 43:42
It's no throw up. You must acquit. ujs is in here and it's windy and
Speaker 2 43:46
sound here on bushveld next to the Taco Bell. On April 12 2005, it was publicly announced that suspect Anna was no longer seeking compensation from Wendy's. Oh, backtrack. Also just going to note that Anna was super uncooperative with the investigation. And according to the SF Gate, which I assume is San Francisco, investigators Lola investigators got a tip about a man who might have lost a finger in a industrial accident. The tip was received on a hotline run by Wendy's which has offered $100,000 reward for information on how the finger got into this Chili
Unknown Speaker 44:43
Chili finger hotline chili finger Hotline Bling
Speaker 1 45:00
It just so fucking make a hotline for this plugin finger is
Speaker 2 45:09
going to track that finger down so funny let me see if this was a good breakpoint okay I think this was a good breakpoint if you would like to read some more of your your labs have a couple left have any finger blurbs
Unknown Speaker 45:32
I don't think I do
Speaker 2 45:34
just the person that Subway like cut their finger.
Speaker 1 45:37
Oh shit actually this next one is a finger one
Speaker 1 45:46
and I was looking at all of them except for the one right in front of me and it has the finger. In 2005 North Carolina resident Clarence Stowers was tucking into a container of coals frozen custard, when he encountered a severed finger in the custard and the custard. Official say the digit had recently been attached. That's a weird way to phrase to a worker injured in a food processing machine accident. Oh, USA Today reported that Stowers put a finger in his mouth thinking it was a piece of candy ah that one is fucked up.
Unknown Speaker 46:35
Ah, that's uh, yeah.
Speaker 1 46:39
We're gonna backtrack a little bit to the condom and food stories tell. Yeah. There was a woman in Irvine, California. And I don't have the restaurants name here. Somehow I left that out. But she was enjoying a bowl of restaurant clam chowder, and she bent down on something rubbery. For a moment she thought it was calamari. She spit out the offending morsel you could definitely tell I copied and pasted and she discovered something that didn't elicit her pleasure, a condom. That doesn't elicit your pleasure. The woman sued and won an undisclosed settlement from the restaurant which then tried to sue the supplier of the clam chowder, but the judge ruled in favor of the supplier. So I guess they were like, Hey, you can fucking put condoms in here and pretend it's calamari that's fine. Fuck these losers. Hi. Hi. Conduct and this one I don't remember which website I got this off of. So I'm just blatantly plagiarizing. But it makes me laugh because the title of this little blurb was to swirls one cup. Oh god. Doodoo Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 2 48:12
Just from Nathan for you or is it like a actual
Speaker 1 48:16
it's a real one. In 2008 the Australian Government
Unknown Speaker 48:23
what? Okay,
Unknown Speaker 48:25
this sounds this all fucked up.
Unknown Speaker 48:28
It gets hard for us to write sometimes. Sorry,
Speaker 1 48:30
guys, I guess. The Australian Government food Minister which I don't know what that means. I want that title. It does sound cool. He confirmed that frozen fecal matter had been found and chocolate gelato offered to patrons of a Sydney pub after they complained about the noise level. complained about on points level and they found poop very clear. But I guess someone was complaining that the noise levels were too high. So they were like, Hey, I'm gonna try to do an Australian accent I don't know where I am. I'm sorry about the noise old Trauer noise would you like some frozen yogurt? And then really what had happened? Somebody turned it in the frozen yogurt machine and then fed it to people I guess.
Speaker 2 49:36
I mean, I know I'm a bit of a chaotic pooper but I would never go to like these.
Speaker 1 49:44
Like shitting bodies of water as a girl who shits wherever she wants.
Speaker 2 49:51
Yeah, or if anyone remembers the old Djibouti dubs thing as a woman who loves taking shape.
Speaker 1 50:00
Hey, man, Djibouti Dobes this one more quick one. And 2009 a German tourist ordered a $40 filet mignon at the bowl in bear restaurant in New York, which maybe this is off back in Quackenbush Avenue or whatever. He claims that he took a bite of the meat and wound up with a bloody tampon in his mouth. Oh. How do you not see that? Not to victim blame? Sorry, but I just imagine a fucking champ. I have no fucking idea. But apparently he had like a glass of whiskey and like, rinsed his mouth out, and then ran to the hospital for testing. But how the fuck do you get a tampon? And I'll stay Yeah, though. I wonder if it was like a huge Karen. And somebody was just like, You know what? Oh.
Speaker 2 51:08
Yeah, um, I knew someone who used to work at a steak place. And they had these usual customers comes in come that would come in that that they did not like. And yeah, they would look their silverware before they
Speaker 1 51:30
went I'll disclose a awful thing that I did. But actually, I don't feel bad about it. But I worked at looking into for a while. And there was this lady that was like, really, really mean that I worked with. And when I had made a mistake, and I had already, like, got home. And then she was like, You need to come back and fix this mistake. And I mean, me now I'd be like, fuck you. Like I'll do it tomorrow or whatever. But so I went back up there at night and like, fixed it. Well, she had this coffee cup that she always drank out of, and I just put in a towel on a spit in there. swished it all around.
Unknown Speaker 52:11
Nice.
Speaker 1 52:13
Yeah, thank you, Linda. Linda. Enough I can kinda no one judge me. I was like, 20 Oh, yeah. But also if you do judge me, that's fine. That's pretty nasty thing to do. I
Speaker 2 52:26
think everyone has like a little shithead Ignis and themselves. But I mean, also, if you had some sort of disease or something, it'd be different. Yeah. Or your transferable thing, but I mean, you know, yeah, good. Good. You can route No, I'll just say you can Raul dog it but that's not that's not the context.
Speaker 1 52:49
cocking heads all the time not to brag you can raw dog can that be the name of the episode? Rob
Speaker 2 53:04
Well, unfortunately with the way coffee is going now, a lot of people are raw by raw dogging the coffee in their private regions.
Speaker 1 53:15
As far as spilling it on their dicks Yeah, I fucking bags of coffee.
Speaker 2 53:20
I was thinking of like spilling it but it wasn't. We can cut that joke out. It wasn't going to criticize.
Speaker 1 53:28
I was just like, my mind started wandering. I mean, I'm just on Bush Avenue here. Rockin coffee. Well, I know dudes apparently. Fuck apple pies. thing I didn't know about like a bag of coffee beans. Hey. Different can afford a flashlight. Just fucking bag of coffee beans. Oh,
Speaker 2 53:57
um, so I guess to get back to Chile fingers.
Unknown Speaker 54:04
Yeah, sorry for the huge dog
Speaker 2 54:07
tangent. Um, so authorities found that the finger belongs to a man in Las Vegas, who lost part of his finger when his hands got caught in a mechanical truck lift. In December. He was working with none other than Anna's husband. Oh, the finger owners mother was interviewed. She she felt like she got caught up in something that he didn't actually like realize what it was. She said quote he had a money problem he owes $50 to this character James. And from everything I was reading, it sounds like he got $100 for his finger.
Unknown Speaker 54:57
Yeah, baby girl. Yours more than that.
Speaker 2 55:03
I'll double it for you. She, she found out because her son called her saying, Mom, do you know what happened? She said, and she said, the last time he said something like that, to me it was 911
Speaker 2 55:29
which I don't know why, but I thought that was really really funny. Which you do too.
Speaker 1 55:36
I love that we're sticking with the accent but yeah, I can't even think of it two fullbacks. Brooklyn.
Speaker 2 55:42
Yeah. Linnaean father was also interviewed. It sounds like they were divorced. I'm not much contact. But it sounds like he knew about the injury but like nothing else really? since then. But you were shocked and He added he added that is pretty wild.
Unknown Speaker 56:09
Finger daddy.
Speaker 2 56:13
So the mother did not detail how his finger was preserved. Or her son's debt. But she did mention my son is a happy Well, my son I'm losing it here. Is a happy go lucky guy. He thought he thought he was cute show. It's like a man thing. If a woman had a finger severed. She would never show it to anyone. But but he was showing off to the girls around the office if they asked showing severed fingers this lady like
Speaker 1 56:57
while you're talking I was like, I mean, yeah, I would show my severed finger people
Speaker 2 57:05
like like the guy that got his foot severed or whatever and he cooked it up and made tacos for him and his friends friends maybe I wouldn't do that but I'd definitely be like let's have a party. Yeah, fuck I'm party with my foot.
Unknown Speaker 57:19
Finger food
Speaker 2 57:20
oh, let's say toe like in foods I don't know
Unknown Speaker 57:31
what was Trump was trying to say
Speaker 2 57:36
the cute white just a cute boy thing is that the cute boy thing and a later interview Anna admitted to cooking the finger according to the Seattle Times She also mentioned she was disgusted with how she handled the finger saying nasty sick was I think and wow wow Geez We weird so yeah, in hindsight, she's like yeah, that was pretty gross that I did
Speaker 1 58:05
all that way. Did they cook it before the chili I guess to knock down some germs? Yeah, well, I
Speaker 2 58:14
think maybe that but I was thinking that maybe she cooked it just to make it try to make it kind of looked like it was cooked with the chili cook like really high for three hours. So it wasn't one of those. She should have known. Dough MAs. Anna and her husband were arrested on April 20 22nd 2005. She was sentenced to nine years in state prison and was sentenced to 12 years and four months. Yeah, and they got banned from Wendy's for life.
Unknown Speaker 58:50
No more chili for y'all. Damn.
Speaker 2 58:53
They appealed later. And am I got nine years reduced to five. And her husband's was not reduced. Holy. Could you imagine spending fucking 12 years in prison for some shit like, dude,
Speaker 1 59:08
and you're not gonna sound cool if you're like, talking to other inmates about what you're in there for like That's a lame ass thing. I'd be making something up like I killed a cop. But I literally say
Speaker 2 59:21
I severed the finger from the guy or in a fight or something. Instead of like, I paid this guy 100 bucks for a spring it was also ordered that the couple paid $21.2 million in restitution to Wendy's International, as well as 500,000 to the je m management that owned Wendy's and $170,000.06 $105 to the employees for lost wages. So like, I don't know how many employees were working there, but they have to split 170,000 For $600 between like 12 people or whatever, how whoever was working there lost money. And Anna was cool with the first few payments, the first payments to the big corporations, but she was like fuck that to the employees payments. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 1:00:20
Fucking bitch
Speaker 2 1:00:21
so. So anyways, she was out of prison for a while and went back in 2013 because she was helping her son hide that he accidentally shot himself in the ankle while on probation with a gun that he was not supposed to have. Oh my God. They tried to cover it up by making up a story about two men, one of which did not like him. And she helped him get rid of the gun. Obviously given the past of these lovely folks. Authorities investigated more and found out but he shot himself in an accident. Mercury News says she has been Oh, she had been sentenced to nine years for that crime schlitt The case came back for re sentencing after a successful appeal based on technical sentencing error. The judge in that case could once again have imposed a nine year Term or Term but he chose four instead. So she keeps even before the windy she was just doing all kinds of scams in and out of legal trouble in jail. But she keeps getting her sentences reduced. So she was also frustrated by the name she got throughout prison. Oh they would call me the finger lady. Oh look there goes a finger lady. I'm sure there's many many more and I put ah as I'm writing this I keep thinking about biting into a finger and the baby carrot thing and that's it that's all I had for the Wendy's chili finger incident
Speaker 1 1:01:58
the first thing I thought when you said like biting into a finger maybe it's the podcast no not if when we get really famous. Yes. Fan will volunteer to let us by their finger. Oh,
Speaker 2 1:02:13
oh. I would I feel like I would only agree to that if their finger has already been like pre severed either by accident or medical emergency. Okay, because I don't know I don't even know if someone agreed to it. I just don't feel right about biting somebody's finger off you know I'm like
Unknown Speaker 1:02:36
I'll tell you what it's like what does that say about I'll
Unknown Speaker 1:02:40
be there in support for you know I
Speaker 1 1:02:43
say that I would but when it comes down to it I don't know if I could
Speaker 2 1:02:50
watch me be like yeah, I'll do it. Or whatever comes down I remember Yeah, I remember in biology whenever we had to do like dissections and stuff. I was like really not. I didn't want to do it and I didn't think I would I thought I'd get really grossed out in the my lab partner. She was super stoked for it and then when we got down to it, we just told her switch that was totally fine with like doing all the stuff and poking around all the like weird material that comes out of the frog guts. And she was like she almost threw up and like it just like the smell the smell was like formaldehyde it and yeah, so gross.
Speaker 1 1:03:37
Notes girl student girls things. Tough six. Just a
Speaker 2 1:03:43
couple gals dissecting a frog over here on bushwhacked string um, I don't have any information about this on me right now so I'm gonna just recall this remember memory but the Burger King foot lettuce stuff? Did you remember that? Well, it was a big thing and then I have to do this because there was a YouTuber that covered it. And now it's like a meme but his name is Chills and he talks really stupid but it's mesmerizing and he was doing like gross fast food things and it's just like number 15 Burger King foot lettuce in me Mike me my nephew do that to each other all the times but yeah, someone had like two buckets of like working at Burger King they had the lettuce put it on the floor stood right in it took a picture posted it to I think it was 4chan Whatever somewhere on the internet and then other a bunch of people were like batched just fucked up that's not even like funny yeah and so a bunch of you know web sluice figured out like which Burger King it was that and called the manager and the person got fired. I don't know if legal action was taken, but you know, it's pretty disgusting.
Speaker 1 1:05:03
I love when people band together and figure out who people are on. Like, I follow several people like that on tick tock like, I saw this one recently of a guy, it looked like he was in a area like the domain. And he was playing his keyboard and this chick just like walked up and like, fucking slapped his keyboard and I saw
Speaker 2 1:05:26
that. Yeah, and then he potentially stole some money. Money. Jar. Yeah.
Speaker 1 1:05:31
So people figured out who that lady was. Oh, my God, like, found her Facebook. And I went on her Facebook too, and was just like Lucky. For me, yeah. Like her mom was on her Facebook trying to be like, leave my daughter alone. And everybody was like, you didn't raise your daughter right? Oh, you
Speaker 2 1:05:51
and Mom's getting involved? Yeah, I could not see I love when the internet takes matters into their well sometimes sometimes it gets a little
Speaker 1 1:06:03
sometimes. Yeah, I wouldn't do it for just anybody but that chick like fucking broke the sky shit and stole money. Now you knew what you're doing like now in
Speaker 2 1:06:14
those people that do like the stomping videos and stuff with start with that. It's it's like stomping people's feet. You're using your feet to stomp poor little innocent baby animals. Wow. Yeah. I think I think
Speaker 1 1:06:33
that's what the drones fold extra Jamie.
Speaker 2 1:06:38
I think that's what the I think it's a Netflix documentary. Like everybody loves cats or something like that. I think that's about it. I haven't really watched it but
Unknown Speaker 1:06:47
part of that, but I don't really remember. Yeah.
Speaker 2 1:06:53
So um, are you going to be getting talk about one way? Or? Yeah, I feel like I need some talk about
Speaker 1 1:07:05
Alyssa and Jaime both totally had Taco Bell for dinner. Yeah, I really liked the finger chili thing. I was like, I'm glad you like that. Yeah, unfortunately. I don't think any of this has scared me from getting
Speaker 2 1:07:22
anything. Yeah, me neither.
Speaker 1 1:07:25
Shit happens. I think I missed some of my things. But I'll save them for another time. But some of the stuff that people report on, I feel like is kind of normal for food. Like, finding like bugs and lettuce or different things. I mean, well, no. Yes. I feel like when you're picking things from the ground, you're gonna get some other. Yeah. I don't know. Like condoms and tampons. Yeah, that's Yeah, and I will say even like, roaches and mice, as much as I don't want to think there's roaches and mice. I'm sure they're in every fucking kitchen that we've ever eaten. And I mean, like, yeah, for sure. Or like, weird. I found a couple things that we're finding chicken heads and stuff in with your chicken sandwich. I'm like, at least he knows it's real chicken. Yeah, it's just another part can get mixed in sometimes. Like, that sucks. Yeah, I
Speaker 2 1:08:26
remember. Uh, I think this was like, just last year maybe. Probably be had the fried rag said a fresh. Oh, gosh. I was like completely battered and everything and fried. It's just a rat. But um, yeah, I think that's gonna do it for this episode. I hope you guys are hungry for more. Yes,
