Mark Cantor calls in from Israel, and the Big Arch Controversy!- h1

Good afternoon, St. Louis DGS, 104-1 FM, K-Emo Wags. Happy Tuesday to you.

So for the first time in a few days, the whole team's back together. We're doing a stream.

You guys can watch us on Facebook or YouTube. YouTube. YouTube. YouTube. With a tube.

I know these guys are thinking there's a conspiracy theory of not having the stream on Friday and yesterday, but was there a problem yesterday?

Did you? Yeah, you weren't here. I didn't know the new way to do it. And I was like the problem. And I was like, I could figure it out, but

I was told to not to come in. Also, none of them wanted to be on camera anyway. Like all of our people who came in, like, Hancock and Brad and stuff, they were like, this isn't on, right?

Brad might be wanted. He's living under a pseudonym. He's like a federal few to ship fugitive from 1982. Yeah, he's really smart, but he might be smart, like Leonardo Leonardo DiCaprio.

DiCaprio? DiCaprio. Leonardo DiCaprio. DiCaprio. DiCaprio. DiCaprio. Over here. He's like the pretender. He's like, I'm going to become a lawyer and just do radio shows.

He's like Frank Abigail. He's doing checkkiting. He's like, I can't let the state see what I actually look like. All the answers he's given us are just reading Chad GPT. Yeah.

So we have not talked to these guys about the Iranian war. I think we have plenty of time to do that. So we'll get to that in due time.

At 130, going to be a very interesting segment. We have Mark Cantor, my attorney client who went to Israel. He had booked this way in advance.

He goes over there and he does charity work and helps out with things and he just happened to go at the same time as we attacked Iran. So he's just there and he's going to call us and let us know what's going on and what life is like over there.

First things first. Ladies first. How are you? Are you feeling? I'm feeling much better today than it was yesterday. Yeah. I would the main thing that I've experienced.

It is just like extreme fatigue. Like Sunday, I just laid on the couch all day and then yesterday. I wanted to come into work, but then Dave and Steve were like, oh, we don't want you to get another people six. I'm like, okay.

Thinking I'll have like an easy day at home, but then the fatigue hit really bad again around like noon and I was pretty much, you know, out for that started feeling a little bit better last night, though.

And then got a little bit of sleep last night and much less fatigue, much less fatigue. I've got a bit of a cough and like a chest thing, but I'm doing better.

Good. I hope it's not what I had over the holidays because that's how mine started and just just kept going. But the fatigue. Did you take a COVID test?

I did. I was very concerned it was COVID because when I had COVID, that was my number one symptom. It was just feeling really gassed. But no, it was negative. So hopefully we're only up enough.

Good. And wheels. You're odd to see. I made it. I do. I feel like Odysseus. I've been gone for in the 20 years. So it feels like.

Do you know, like this is something I was telling Andrew earlier. I think I spent almost four days at no point ever being comfortable.

Yeah. Like physically comfortable. Yeah. Like no, no comfortable chairs or seats. So like, you know, my kids in her 20s, the stuff she has, I'm 54, man, I like, I need my recliner.

I need, you know, I like, you know, the she got a futon that I spent most of my time on sleeping and just sitting. And it's fine for a bit, but like for three straight days on top of sleeping on an air mattress that deflated in the middle of the night and driving 13 and a half hours and flying twice into

it. Like I got into my car. And I think that was the first time I went, oh, this feels good. In like four days. Yeah. Four days. And now when I was tired, I was so tired at night. I fell asleep right away, comfortable or not. But, you know, that moment when you're finally like sink into something.

Oh, yeah. And you're just like, whoo, yeah, that's good. Yeah, yeah.

And then the recliner at home last night. Oh, man, talk to me about the drive.

The Saturday? Yeah. So for those that happen to miss it, my daughter moved from Wally Durham area to Chicago. And, you know, we read it a U-Haul. And by the way, tip of the cap to the guys at the U-Haul place, nobody's going to care because it's in Kerry North Carolina.

They were awesome because they ended up having to give me a bigger truck than I had I had reserved because they were running low on the other ones.

But they convinced me and they said, listen, you're getting this bigger one. But it's brand new. It's like less than 5,000 miles. It's got Bluetooth. It's got all this.

It's the car you want to drive in on 13 and a half hours. And I'm like, good deal. Let's go.

So that part actually went super well, you know, loading it up all that fine. No big deal didn't bring anything. Didn't break anything on me or on any of the stuff.

But the 13 and a half hour drive, it should have been 12 hours based on what the map told me. But between me wanting to take longer breaks.

Because I don't want to sit for 13 and a half hours after moving the day before and knowing I got to move the next day too.

So I took some longer breaks, but it took 13 and a half, like almost 14 hours.

Because driving through the mountains sucks, dude. In a moving truck driving through the mountains sucks. And the first like 40% of it's all mountains.

Was there a North Carolina, Virginia, Western? It's all mountains. Was there a point in the mountain? You're like, I'm not getting up this next one.

No, I felt pretty good. It was all right. It's a newer truck too, which is why I was really happy. Like if it was an old one that's gone.

But like, I now I get it like the semi drivers. I did not block traffic like semi drivers tend to do. I made sure that I was always not in anybody's way that was going faster.

But it's just the whole thing like, okay, every curve when it says 55, you need to go on 55.

You know, in your car, 75, who cares? I'm fine. But man, you can feel it. Like you have to pay closer attention when you're driving the bigger one.

And that's the thing is like, you're never, you're never relaxed. Yeah. Cause you're, you know, you're not in your car. When you're in your car, you're relaxed. You're cool.

You know how it handles. You know what things expect when you're in this new thing and it's giant and you're like,

and I don't want to break anything in the back, right? Yeah. I felt like every bump I hit the whole thing shook and I felt like things were flying around. But it turned out as all right.

So you had to call 911. I did. I did. So I fact, I should have looked. I should have looked to see if anyone got arrested.

Um, in Demat, Indiana, it was like, so coming up on the, the border between Indiana and Illinois, just coming up like real close to that near the very end of my drive.

Where the bears play. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, I'm in Indiana. It's not too far from there. Um, there's this pickup truck in front of me. And I'm just coming up like, I can't gauge this thing because I'm, I'm in this big truck.

I'm going just a little over the speed limit. Like I'm within five miles of the speed limit the whole time. And I'm coming up and I'm like, oh, I'm going to pass this guy.

So I go to the left to pass this guy. And all of a sudden he just guns it. And he's like going a hundred. And then a few minutes later, he's back to being at like 50 miles an hour.

And he's starting to weave all over the place. He almost ran off the road to the right three or four times. And then almost knocked three other cars off the road that were going to pass him.

And was like putting on his signal and then not changing lanes and then putting on the other signal. And there was no lane to his right or his, I don't know if it's a guy or woman. I had no idea.

I did not get close enough to get it. But I'm like, I got to call 911. So I called them. They set me to the state troopers. And I was like following behind this guy for miles. Just like trying to just like, okay, where's he going?

How close can you get? I'm like, well, I'm not getting very close in this truck. So I'm driving a moving truck. Like I normally I would be like, I'll get a little close, but I'm not getting close in a thing that doesn't maneuver very well.

But I couldn't get the full plate. I think I had the state down, but I could see the stickers on the back window. And that's how I was able to identify to them like what, you know, how they could pick out the car.

I don't know if they got to it or not. I need to look. But he pulled off the highway at one point. And I'd like, you guys, these pull off the highway. I'm not going to fall. I shouldn't follow him right. And they're like, no, don't bother. Just go ahead.

Because I don't really want to. I really want to. I'm assuming he was getting off to go there like truck stops there. I'm assuming you guys getting off to go to the truck stop. So I didn't want to get off. And like, I already been on the road for 12 hours.

Dude, I was not like looking to be like, yeah, you know, captain, no, captain, you know, traffic cop. What if the cops were like, if you have the shot, I'd take the shot. If she had said, could you do that? I would have done it. Because this person is going to kill somebody.

Like they damn near almost killed, you know, I don't know how many people that were in those cars, but at least three cars almost got run off the road. So that was fascinating. Yeah, that was a little.

I get you a little bit of alertness going when you're near the end of a long trip. Your brains like, oh, my God, this is not good. This is not good. And as the people are trying to pass, you're like, how do I signal to them that there's something going on? Yeah.

How do I signal to them? Like, well, you see, the point is you can't, like you can't really, right? Because by the time they're passing you, they're passing that guy. Yeah. And I was saying hundreds of yards back. I can't even want to get that close. I could have put my, I thought about putting my hazards on, but that then they'd be looking at me and that guy. So they'd be reporting you.

Like, hey, there's a moving truck with a giant red guy in a moving truck. That's hazards. I don't know what's going on there. So tell us about the flights.

So everything was fine on Thursday, you know, like the one after here got there, got on time, got out normal. Yesterday was like yesterday was not the end of the world. I want to be clear about this.

Like, it ended up being like a two and a half, almost three hour difference in when I got home, which is not the end of the world. But when you're after those days, you're just like, oh, come on.

But like the airlines, the United States based airlines are such garbage. And I don't mean the people that work there because every human being that I came into contact with.

And this flight yesterday was United, they were awesome. The pilots were awesome. The people, the flight attendants awesome. The gate, they were awesome. The gate agent guy was the best. He was keeping everybody calm. He was funny. You know, he was like, though, the people did a great job. The company's suck.

Like, because what happened was we're sitting on the, we were sitting on the time like we were loaded. The plane is loaded. We're starting to back up. And they're like, then they stopped and they're like, oh, hang out a second. We got a check. We got maintenance crew coming out.

They got checked something real quick. Hopefully we got here in a few minutes. And it turns out the plane was leaking fuel.

Through from from the engine. You see you could smell it. Oh, and after when you're sitting there, we could smell it. And then the fire, the fire department shows up and we're like, okay, this is great.

This light's going nowhere. And then we finally get off. And we had to wait, you know, for another plane to come in. I think from St. Louis.

And then get back on that one, turn around, come back around. But the thing that's irritating is the way the company is structured to handle it, right?

So they send you text updates. And it says here, here are these links. If you want to rebook your flight, click this link. If you want more information about your options, click this link.

And I click that link. And it sends me to a thing that said, if you have any questions, go see the gate agent.

Well, thanks. Why'd you send me a useless link? What help is that? I'm sitting there. I could go talk to that person. Why are you sending me a link that says go talk to the person you're looking at?

Like, what is that stuff? And then I was complaining about it on Twitter and they replied to me. And they're like, oh, can you, you can DM us and send us your information. And maybe we could help you.

All right. Well, I did that because I just wanted information and to see if maybe there's a better flight or something because at that time, they didn't know what was going on.

And then I DM them that and they sent me basically the same damn link. Like clicked on this like, oh, so you just sent me to the place that I was already complaining about on here.

Like, we should be better than this. Like the, the, the, the, the motto for all the airlines right now seems to be we apologize for all our suckiness.

And we make a lot of mistakes and we have a lot of bad delays and a lot of problems. But to make it up to you, we're just going to charge you more.

Yeah, because everything's gotten more expensive. The flights are not cheap. It was.

But $350 to fly from Chicago to St. Louis. Oh, that's crap. I almost said a curse curse.

Insane. Like, what are you, what are we talking about? It was like a 50 seat plane. It's not like it's not even, you know, this big full jet line. It wasn't full. There were seats empty.

But like, you were going to charge you so much more. And you're going to get so much less. No drinks. Can I get any snacks or nothing?

They didn't give you a snack. No, I mean, there's not much time on that one. You know, it's a 45 minute in the air kind of thing.

Like the whole idea of how you're supposed to run a business is to get business, you get that you give people value, you give people quality.

And then if their quality is good, people don't mind paying the price. But the airlines have a set. I don't want to say it's not a monopoly, but it's so limited as to the competition that they can just suck and charge more.

You know what seems to me to be the worst part of your whole odyssey is your hair is insane right now.

Dude, it's nuts. It's crazy long and it's weird and it's like crooked and yeah, some of it's going forward, some of it's going sideways, some of it's going up.

But it's all over the place. Did it make any nuts? No, I don't care. Okay, good. Just don't care. You should have seen it.

You did it out of you. You should have seen it. I brought a hat. Thank God when I was moving because I didn't it was it was brutal. I did want to say though.

Yesterday at the end of it all, like got outside the airport, getting to those shuttle that'll take you to the parking lot and all that.

Met John who flies for Delta. I'm sorry, flies for United, who was on the flight with me, but as a passenger just to come back.

And he's like, you Kevin Wheeler. I'm like, yeah, how you doing? It's like, I love you guys. I listen to DGS all the time you guys are the best. I love you guys the way you break down even these serious stuff you guys are awesome.

And he goes and I was I was explaining to him like you must you must hate all of this nonsense with the airline and he's like, I'm just used to it. Yeah, super nice guy and so tip of the cap shot.

Pilot John. Really nice guy. Now we have a pilot out there. Good man. Appreciate it. Like I said, not I didn't say the other thing about the employees because of him because I didn't know he was on my flight until I was off the flight.

Yeah, those other people were amazing and they get crapped on right there. The ones that are getting yelled at there. The ones getting all the garbage from people and it's because the structures of these companies are just so awful.

I feel like I've lived a lifetime now. When I go see Christopher Nolan's the Odyssey, I will know exactly what Odysseus is like whatever.

When you have to drive a moving truck through the mountains, you tell me about it. Yeah, yeah, I don't hear about no Trojan horse.

They certainly couldn't have driven a standard transmission. They would have been lost. Thank God I didn't have that. I would have just.

Look back, DGS on KMO acts kind of quick little segment here because we went long on Kevin's Odyssey and Mark Cantor is going to join us at the bottom of the hour from Israel.

He went over there for a missions trip and got caught in the middle of a war. So he called Andrew and asked if he could appear on the show and tell us what it's like. We said, of course, so he will be with us at 130.

Did you see the video of messy getting tackled by the runner? It could have been AI. It was on daily mail sports. I know how you hate the runners.

And some guy ran out on the field and ended up tackling messy, which damn. I did not see that. I saw almost nothing. The last handful of do's.

I feel like you're mad at me when I sent you the picture of what's his name with the drip. Max Clark Max Clark. Yeah, because I think I told you the story yesterday, Andrew.

This kids never played a inning of Major League ball, but he's wearing like multiple diamond necklaces and the broadcasters are literally roasting him in real time.

And he proceeds to drop two fly balls. Well, not in the same game. Yeah, was was it? Yeah, I thought they're in separate games. No, same game. Yeah. You love Max Clark. I do. I mean, I'm a fan of the guy. I saw him play when he was 15 years old. He's awesome. I love that guy.

He's great on social media. He interacts with fans. He jokes around with people. He's like openly. He has a minor leaker. He's openly like cheering on the Major League team when they're in the playoffs. He's a good dude.

And he's a guy that people should. This thing that drives me crazy, though. This is like this is what happens in sports, but it's especially a baseball thing is the old heads always crap on the young guys.

So when I was young, the guy that everybody crapped on was Ken Griffey, Jr.

So what has happened? He's dared to wear his hat backwards during batting practice. And now nobody would ever question Ken Griffey, Jr.

or anything about him. He's a legend. Why do we need the why do we need to do this? Yeah, the guy.

Anybody anybody who's been around baseball in any era will absolutely confirm this is true. Players drop fly balls in spring training all the time in Florida.

Always. I mean, I heard Mike Shannon tell stories about that. I've heard every old timer. You lose it in that high sky. It's super sunny. You're playing in the middle of the day.

It's not a stadium. You don't have a big stadium around you. You lose sight of the ball sometimes, a bunch of diamonds.

Yeah, the diamonds are like, if drop fly balls are part of the tradition of spring training going back ages. Why is it now because he's wearing chains?

I can't do it.

Welcome back guys, DGS on KMOX. So my friend and my client, Mark Canter, is on a pre-planned sort of

missions trip to Israel. And it just so happened that he got there when the war with Iran broke out and he reached out to us.

Now for the layered time. We said, absolutely. Yes. Mark, how are you?

David, I'm great. Thank God. I'm in an area called Cassaria, which is outside of Tel Aviv. And, you know, we're here on a mission. And like you said, we're hanging out now.

So walk me through it. When did you get there? And, you know, in relation to win the attack started and what's it been like?

So we got here Tuesday morning, early at 6 a.m. and we hit the ground running. And you know, that means that we went to resilience centers.

This country has post traumatic stress disorder, although it's actually not post. It's traumatic stress disorder because they're still in a war.

So there's a lot of mental health problems. That's what happens when terrorists rape and murder innocent people and take hostages.

And we met hostages and, you know, we're able to spend time with them and hug them. And we went to military bases and we barbecue for the troops.

So just in general doing things, goodwill and acts of loving kindness, which is what the charity mission is.

We're only here to help to help the people that need to be helped. So we did that to say Wednesday Thursday, Friday is their Sabbath, Friday evening.

And on Saturday morning, we're all sitting around getting ready to, you know, pray. And we could hear planes taking off and the sky was full.

And normally we're start at the night. So this one started in the morning. It was early in the morning, maybe 8 a.m.

And we heard the jets. And then we knew stuff was going to happen.

Mark, let me back up. Tell me what it was like meeting the hostages.

So we met not just one hospital, not just one hostage, but many hostages. And they all have a different story and a different trauma.

Most of the hostages that stayed for a long period of time were men because the women were brutalized, raped and then murdered because they didn't want them to tell the stories.

And, you know, Hamas is a terror cell and Iran funded Hamas. So it's, in my opinion, fantastic, what President Trump has done to help Israel take out the world leader of terror, which is Iran.

So, you know, these people have incredible stories in their kids and their, you know, one guy, Tal Shomer has a family, his wife and two children are actually taking captive as well and were released in one of the early trades.

And he was held with Omar Venkert, who is a man that came to St. Louis and actually hosted him at my retreat center of Cantorland and at my home.

And so, you know, now, not only have I met and become very good friends of one, but two of them that were held in captivity.

And then, you know, we met a series of other people with similar stories of being beaten on a regular basis and starved, just terrible, terrible, terrible acts of inhumanity and terror.

So, it's intense.

Mark, where you are, I feel like I would literally just be watching the skies for whatever was going to fall out of it. Is that the way it is?

No, you're watching. So, the median in the United States, and it, look, it's a war. And I'm not trying to be natural lines or cavalier, but I'm near a beach near the Mediterranean and a nice hotel.

And we have to be within two minutes of the bomb shelter, and I've been to the bomb shelter, you know, 25 times, maybe more.

Israel has an app. This is the most technological country in the world, and so they know they give you a warning on the app, and you can't miss it.

It's on my phone, it's on my iPad, it's on my watch, and it beeps and buzzes, and it's loud, and you can't turn it off. And it says, you know, expect to go to the bomb shelter.

So, you get to remember that Iran is 900 miles away, so it takes, you know, five to 10 minutes, depending on which type of missile is sent.

So, they tell you, hey, you might have to go, and a lot of them are intercepted.

The iron beam, which is a laser, is working, and that's on the other side of Jordan. Jordan is actually cooperating with Israel, which the media doesn't show you, but they've been helpful.

And, you know, the Iranians attacked Saudi Arabia, too. It's not just Israel and America, they're attacking.

So, there's been a lot of cooperation, but they tell you when the missiles coming, and then if they don't intercept it, they send you another one that says, basically, go to the shelter immediately, and then you have like two minutes.

And so, we're always within two minutes of the, and then, you know, you let the women and children go down first, these entire families, I've carried children down, I've carried kids and strollers, I've carried a puppy down the steps, so I'm, you know, you got to take the steps, you can't take the elevator.

So, what I thought was a great room, with the view of the ocean, and a balcony, is actually the worst room, because I'm, you know, I got to go down the most steps.

But, it's not like any, it's not a big deal, you know, it's Israel's technology and defense is amazing.

And so, there's a lot of people that are frightened, but I'm not one of them.

And when do you return?

Well, that's a great question. I have a friend that was supposed to come back tomorrow night, because our trip officially ended tomorrow.

And he's on the LL, you always should fly LL, because every other airline in the world will cancel, but LL is, you know, a state sponsored airline.

So, they canceled his and they said, they sent him an email that said he's rescheduled for March, March 19th.

Oh, geez.

Yeah, well, because no one else is flying.

Some people that I know have paid a lot of money to get a flight out of Jordan.

Some people take a boat to Cyprus. I'm not going to do those things.

I just, I'm going to leave when it's safe to leave from Israel.

And I'm scheduled to leave March 8th at 1am, which is, you know, Saturday night essentially.

So, we'll see. Hopefully they'll, hopefully they'll fly and I'll get home safely.

If you guys just joining us for talking to my friend and client, Attorney Mark Cantor, who is in Israel right now.

Mark, before we let you go, anything else you want to convey to the St. Louis audience?

I think that we're living in historical and times of biblical proportions.

If you believe in God, it's truly a miracle what's happened. All the enemies have fallen.

You know, Syria is gone. Hezbollah in Lebanon is getting destroyed.

The Houthis are quiet. Iran is toppled.

So, these are really amazing times. And this was a religious holiday called Purim in Persia, which is the same place as Iran.

And it's a thousands of year old holiday about an evil man that wanted to rise up and kill us.

And he failed and, and Kamani is failed. So, you know, I think that it's amazing what America has done for the world, for the peace of the West.

Because a nuclear Iran, which is a rogue terrorist state could have killed millions.

So, that's, you know, I'm thankful for America and for Israel and for President Trump.

All right, man, stay safe and let us know when you're back home and we'll see you soon.

All right, thanks. Thanks.

All right, you bet. Thanks, Mark.

Man, the closest I ever came to that, which was not close, is the Gulf War was going on or just starting when I was in Europe for my trip after law school.

And we were in, we were on a Greek island and we met a bunch of travelers and they were going to go to Turkey.

And then someone said, well, you know what's going on and we didn't, we had not heard of any of this.

And that was, it wasn't so much like I was in danger because I don't think I was.

It was just the first time I had been that far away from home for that long, for months on end.

And I was really homesick and suddenly there's a war going on that could come my way and it was just, you know, again, nothing like what other people have faced.

But I know that weird feeling and that, oh my God, I don't know what's going to happen next kind of thing.

So, super weird.

Lots more to be said about the war and what's going on and yeah, my views on it are evolving quickly.

Because as I said yesterday, I initially, this surprised me.

I knew that Trump was talking about going to war with the Ron.

And I didn't think it would happen. It's such a huge thing with so many indirect causations and, you know, things that are going to happen and stock markets and so forth and so on.

But I don't like Iran.

I don't know many people who do.

But I still think that the process of deciding to go and how we go and why we go, who makes the call to go, who declares war, I think all those things are fair game.

Even in a military action against a pretty hated enemy, I think you still have to check the boxes.

And that's what is still going on now. I have some sound from the Trump administration on why they win.

We'll take that up a little bit later in the show.

Okay.

Welcome back, DGS 150.

So I really wanted to talk about this yesterday, but I just didn't get to it.

And Rage has it on her show. She today, so I'm going to let her roll it out for you.

But have you guys seen the McDonald's CEO taking a bite of the big arch?

Yes.

Any spongebob fan when Squidward takes the tiniest bite ever of a crabby patting, it's literally that.

It's so funny.

Rage, tell him about it.

Okay. So the CEO of McDonald's, his name is Chris Kim Zinsky.

I hope I'm pronouncing his name right.

And he's promoting the big arch burger, which I actually had on Friday and really enjoyed.

He said he had a last night and like, it was, it's yummy. It's a big old burger.

But he's making this video, I guess, to promote the burger.

And he's just getting ripped apart because he refers to the sandwich as a product.

He's like, I love this product.

He didn't save a burger earlier.

Okay.

It's like you got the burger. You got the salad.

But you're right. It was a weird way.

It was a very stiff, weirdo corporate way to say it.

The part that I'm not really seeing anyone talk about, but the part that I noticed

was he was like, and I'm going to have this for lunch, believe it or not.

And I'm like, what do you believe it or not?

It's food that you sell.

Like, what do you mean, believe it or not?

Get this.

Everyone's eating, this is the United States of America.

Everyone eats McDonald's.

Yeah, this is the lunch you sell.

And you're like, I'm going to have this for lunch.

Believe it or not, I'm about to put this crap in my body.

And then he takes like the world's tiniest bite.

I'm the only one who'll say this.

But it starts out, he looks like a mago.

The guy just, he just looks like a mago.

He looks like, and he looks like Professor Frank from The Simpsons.

And I knew what was going to happen because I read the caption.

But I'm like, oh, they're exaggerating.

They were not.

I don't think he even got any burger.

He's like lettuce and bun.

Yeah.

And then when they showed the bite, he turned it.

Clearly, someone had just ripped a piece off of it to make it look like it was a big bite.

It was terrible.

It didn't even look like a big bite.

No, no.

No.

Okay, in his defense a little bit, the burger is difficult to handle.

I got it Friday night and I was sending pictures of it to Andrew.

And I was like, it is lit.

I'm sorry.

I'm going to cough.

I was like, it's legitimately hard to handle with one hand.

But I mean,

you called it a product and he said believe it or not.

So I mean, it's all falling into the category of like, I don't think this guy ever eats this food.

And I don't think he wants to eat it.

We have all felt that energy that he was given off there at some point.

And here's where it is.

When you're a little kid,

and your parents are telling you to go give this old ant you never see ever,

go give your old ant Bessie a kiss.

And you're like,

go give your big arch burger a kiss.

I know.

I know it.

He's your parents are telling you you got to do it.

So that's what it felt like.

The CEO of Burger King very wisely took this opportunity to make a video of himself

taking a big ol' bite of the Whopper.

They have the new and improved Whopper as we also talked about on Friday.

Which I believe is probably a direct response to this big arch burger.

Here's what amazes me.

As a person in this business,

do you realize how many humans

had to okay that?

How many humans were too afraid to tell the CEO,

dude, it looks like you don't want anything to do with his burger.

You got to sell this a little bit.

You got to sell this.

And they just put it through.

Yeah.

He was probably like,

I don't want to shoot it again.

I already took my bite.

My day bites.

It looks like the cock is in the tank.

Yeah.

You're right, Dave.

Everybody who is a powerful person.

You're a manager.

You're a CEO.

You're in charge of people.

You need to have at least one or two people.

Tell you the truth.

You're going to tell you when you're being stupid.

Yeah.

That's not going to work.

That's a stupid idea.

Because when you don't have it,

you look stupid to the entire nation like this guy does.

Yeah.

And here's the thing.

Is that video going to keep me from eating a big arch?

No.

No.

No.

It looks good.

It's real good.

I'm just more offended as a marketer.

Really?

Yeah.

Why are you afraid of your own burger?

He must be great at something.

Because he sucks at that.

Oh, yeah.

Well, it's just it.

It's so it's so wreaks of like the corporate sterilization

of anything fun that he called it a product.

Yeah.

Like I didn't take that to be like,

he doesn't even see it as food.

No, you're right.

No, he doesn't see anything as anything.

Everything on earth is a product.

So also with a capital C amen.

He's a liar because he didn't get enough of that product

to have an opinion at all.

Well.

And he takes the tiniest bite in the whole world

and he goes, oh, that's tremendous.

Wait, it's like, are you come on?

He's like, man, I love, I love eating this.

You can't make that a winner.

You just say, all right, man, you eat that whole burger

and we're going to do the speed up time lapse thing

where we're just like speeding up.

So it looks like you're, so you're showing people

this is good.

Oh my God.

I chow down on that thing.

Man, or maybe like, well, I couldn't even finish it.

And you put down some little piece of it at the end.

It's so good.

Why are people, I mean, I'm with you Dave.

The marketing side of it is almost as bad as just the notion

that you're grossed out by the food you're trying to sell

with the rest of us.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.
