The McRib Show

Throughout the ebb and flow of history, one thing remains certain: if the McDonalds McRib is not currently available, someone is eagerly anticipating its return. Tod, Marc and Salwin analyze this phenomenon.

I have never once had a McRib. My now deceased uncle was a fan, he is the man who introduced me to the wonder of the Hawaiian pizza, but because he has MS he almost never ate at home due to a lack of dexterity. I have also never had a McDonald McNugget. You might think I never spent any time at McDonald's, but you would be WRONG.

I am also unsure of how shrinkage affects lesser endowed men, so maybe Tod can enlighten us. I always assumed it was a percentage. So cold makes you 33% smaller, and the difference between 1 inch and .66 inch is not that much, with me the 4 inch difference is hard to miss.

I don't have a problem with The Seena, it was more the disrespect she showed to the podcast. This was then amplified when she was the host of the show that celebrated the previous 99 shows. You can talk crap about the hosts, YOU CAN NOT disrespect the show - especially if you are a guest. By disrespecting the show, you disrespect the listener to the show.

I was a HUGE Perry Mason fan, all summer I would watch it at noon, the specials just never cut it - it might have been that Raymond was busy being taken out in his Town Car cruising boys town all night, or that they replaced Paul Drake with the Greatest American Hero, who oddly enough was the real life son of Barbara hale (Della Street).

The McRib? I'm having one right now.

The McRib ... it's truly a horror, and I'm confused how it's come to be celebrated in this day and age.

This ep was incredible, fucking nonstop hilarity.

I don't know what it is but you guys always knock it out of the park with food themed episodes and in particular heavily McDonalds themed eps, also for some reason McDonalds always inspires LAxdude to make long awesome posts, another win.

AJ is the McDLT.

David Demarco is the Shamrock Shake.

When Jesus comes back to Earth, it will be as a McRib. Wait, maybe he already has...

I am pretty sure that is Jesus comes back he will be coming back as Jesus. Yeah, or as a taco.

What if the word "Jesus" is aramaic for "McRib?"

McRib could be Aramaic for "assholes of the infidels" but it doesn't mean it affects our use of the word.

I still think that Jesus is more likely to be a taco.

I think that Assholes of the Infidels would make a good band name. I am not sure which genre though. Of course the label makes them change it to AOTI, but all us true fans will know what it means.

I know the McRib has been out for eons, but strangely enough I never tried one. That is until after listening to the show. I ordered the extra value meal and then ordered another for an extra dollar. Two f'n McRibs! I got home, broke open the box, and saw the amount of McRib/barbecue sauce on it. My salivary glands got really excited. It was f'n delicious. I crave it even at 7 in the morning. To have never eaten one before and now am craving it shows the power of the McRib. No wonder people clamor for it when it returns. Great show.

The sweet 'n sour sauce beats bbq anyday.
