More McDonald's Hacks plus Cinnamon the Goat and her friend the dog
Yep it's more McDonald's hacks...but maybe these ones aren't as terrible as usual.
And a goat made friends with a dog, as dogs and goats sometimes do.

00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:09.199
The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack
with five good news stories. I gotta
2
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:11.519
tell you, I do record a
bunch of these back to back. There
3
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.759
are a lot of fun to do. I just I'm still laughing about the
4
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:17.399
one the other day from the mushroom
Bread. In case you missed that one.
5
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:22.120
Once again, we have McDonald's secret
menu items. I don't know what
6
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:26.359
it is about this podcast, always
McDonald's stories. This comes from a McDonald's
7
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:31.160
employee who said for secret menu items, what tends to matter for availabilities not
8
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.600
the owner. It's the on duty
manager and the location of the store.
9
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:39.159
There is no secret menu really.
What these are our menu hacks, combinations
10
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:42.759
that aren't on the menu but are
possible with the ingredients found around, and
11
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:47.039
some are more ingenious than others.
He says customers can maximize their chances by
12
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.880
visiting McDonald's near college or high school, as those workers are more likely to
13
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.640
go along. You know, you
get the teenager of the teenager doesn't care.
14
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:56.840
He added, if you go anytime
after seven o'clock, you'll have better
15
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:59.920
luck than during a lunch period.
Is when lunch is busy, you know,
16
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.000
And there's more rule savvy managers on
duty. Right, So you pile
17
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.560
into the McDonald's at nine at night, and the teenager doesn't care. One
18
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.239
secret menu item is the McKinley Mac. What's that? It's a big mac
19
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.920
with quarter pounder meat. He said. It's kind of expensive, but basically
20
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.599
any store will do it as far
as I know, The employee says.
21
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:22.319
Customers sometimes order a grilled cheese by
asking for a plain cheeseburger with no meat.
22
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:23.719
He says, if you ask for
this, look at the receipt.
23
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.200
If the cashier was new, you'll
see ask me written on it, but
24
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:30.519
if they knew it was coming,
you'll just see plain no regular meat or
25
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.959
something like that. Quality will vary
based on how hot the bun was versus
26
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.040
how cold the cheese was. I
personally don't suggest it, but if you
27
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.040
want a grilled cheese, technically that's
one. There's also something called the mc
28
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.280
GB. I don't want to tell
you what GB stands for because it's quite
29
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.599
naughty and involves a group. Leave
it at that, he says. It's
30
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.400
only generally going to happen in a
college town with a lax manager because of
31
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.159
its name, and they don't want
other sensitive customers to be hearing those naughty,
32
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.560
naughty words. If you want to
make GB, you better off just
33
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.120
asking for a mc chicken and a
mcdouble and put it together rather than saying
34
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.919
that naughty name. For other Mick
sandwiches generally the same rules as the MICGB.
35
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:12.199
Sometimes you'll get a hit, sometimes
not. If not, you'll just
36
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.280
be told order them separately, put
them together yourself. One user said I
37
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.039
used to make a quadruple cheeseburger on
my own out of two doubles. I
38
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.439
was tempted to ask them to do
it for me and save the extra bread.
39
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.639
Another user said I was drunk in
order to mcdouble with six extra patties
40
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.080
and six extra slices of cheese cost
me nine bucks. Now I'm not saying
41
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:36.159
he's a gold digger, but Darren
Kemp pulled a stone weighing ten pounds.
42
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:38.879
More than half of it is gold. Is a photo of this. It
43
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.319
looks like he's a gold miner from
the eighteen fifties. This rockets gigantic,
44
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:46.199
he tells CNN. When I hit
my hand, my jaw dropped with it
45
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.479
was incredible. Once in a lifetime
find. He runs Lucky Strike Gold,
46
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.199
which runs recreational prospecting trips into the
gold containing regions of Australia known as the
47
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:59.840
Golden Triangle. H I wonder if
this is just for publicity, But then
48
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:02.159
again, how do you fake at
ten pound gold rock? Who knows?
49
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:07.120
Congrats? Good news for Felix the
dog and his friend sent him in the
50
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.479
goat. They were dropped off by
animal control, who had taken them from
51
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:14.560
a house whose owner had been hospitalized
and there was no one else to look
52
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:19.400
after the dog and goat. The
shelter realized the two were a special situation.
53
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.759
When they first tried to separate them
sent him in. The goat was
54
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.560
very upset. She was bleeding and
calling out to the dog. She was
55
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.120
so stressed and frantic. We realized
we had to keep the goat and the
56
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.039
dog together. Generally, the shelter
doesn't take in form animals, and after
57
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.560
ten days they told the owner,
hey, you gotta take the animals back,
58
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.120
but he never did, so they
put up an adoption notice. The
59
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.120
goat and the dog spent every hour
together at the shelter except for when they
60
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.039
ate. Sin him in hates being
apart from Felix, but if they ate
61
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.759
side by side, the bulldog would
eat the goat food. Simon likes nothing
62
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.360
more than cuddling with Felix the dog
or rumping around the dog yard, even
63
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.199
though it's AstroTurf. Felix is capable
spending time away from his goat prowl,
64
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.120
but he returns. He always gives
sent him in a bath with his giant
65
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.439
bulldog tongue. One of the shelter
workers said, so we're duo, but
66
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.000
it works for them. Who are
we to judge? They obviously love each
67
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:10.680
other. Good news somebody has adopted
them together. Congratulations Cinnamon and Felix.

Friends in Fiction is led by four longtime
70
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:30.199
friends, the four of us with
more than seventy five published books between us.
71
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.399
Through end depth conversations and interviews,
we discussed the books we've written,
72
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.519
the books we're reading, and the
art of storytelling. We are here with
73
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:44.839
endless stories to support indie bookstores,
authors, librarians and readers just like you.
74
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:49.959
We are always seeking innovative ways to
introduce dynamic voices and trends in publishing.
75
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.439
On this channel, you will find
hundreds of episodes with some of your
76
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:58.240
favorite authors, including the four of
us with our new releases. As we
77
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.800
reveal the stories behind the stories,
offer writing tips, and talk about the
78
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:08.199
creation of novels, memoirs, and
nonfiction titles. So if you love books
79
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.480
and you're curious about the writing world, you are in the right place.
80
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:25.680
You can listen to friends and fiction
on any major streaming platform. Most animal
81
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.959
shelters will tell you it's easier to
get dogs adopted than cats. So the
82
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.240
Wayside Waves did something that got international
attention and had found many of their cats
83
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.759
of Forever home. They posted a
video on TikTok with some of the cats
84
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:41.160
up for adoption. It got over
a million views. Thanks to the video,
85
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:43.759
all but two of the cats were
adopted. I feel awful for those
86
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.759
two cats. One of the shelter
workers said, we have comments from Brazil
87
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.360
and the Philippines and the UK and
all these amazing places. They'll blinking for
88
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:53.639
fun ways to come up with their
next adoption video. And a ten year
89
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.959
old girl made what her mom thinks
is the sassiest card ever, complete with
90
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:03.959
the words you love vodka. Geordana
received the gift and was thankful and said
91
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:09.040
she doesn't drink vodka. She talked
to people at the school and the teacher
92
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.600
that helped great the card. Jordana. The mom said she had the card
93
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.160
behind her back. It was quite
giggly, and she handed to me and
94
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:16.800
I was like, oh my,
he was really unexpected. I did a
95
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.560
nervous laugh, like have you actually
done this? I was quite shocked,
96
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.120
but I didn't mind because it's quite
funny. She's outgoing and funny. She
97
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.160
was proud of it, she said. The teacher said it was great,
98
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.639
and they helped her to cut the
bottle out of the stick on the front.
99
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.120
It was just getting worse. Not
only she made the card, but
100
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.600
she'd involved teachers to bring attention to
the fact that she's done this. We
101
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:38.079
had a parents' evening and the teachers
thought she was great. They thought she
102
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:42.120
thought outside the box and it was
really funny. But why if the mom
103
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.759
doesn't drink vodka. I don't know
what's going on here. That's your five

find. He runs Lucky Strike Gold,
46
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.199
which runs recreational prospecting trips into the
gold containing regions of Australia known as the
47
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:59.840
Golden Triangle. H I wonder if
this is just for publicity, But then
48
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:02.159
again, how do you fake at
ten pound gold rock? Who knows?
49
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:07.120
Congrats? Good news for Felix the
dog and his friend sent him in the
50
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.479
goat. They were dropped off by
animal control, who had taken them from
51
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:14.560
a house whose owner had been hospitalized
and there was no one else to look
52
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:19.400
after the dog and goat. The
shelter realized the two were a special situation.
53
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.759
When they first tried to separate them
sent him in. The goat was
54
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.560
very upset. She was bleeding and
calling out to the dog. She was
55
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:28.120
so stressed and frantic. We realized
we had to keep the goat and the
56
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.039
dog together. Generally, the shelter
doesn't take in form animals, and after
57
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:35.560
ten days they told the owner,
hey, you gotta take the animals back,
58
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.120
but he never did, so they
put up an adoption notice. The
59
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.120
goat and the dog spent every hour
together at the shelter except for when they
60
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.039
ate. Sin him in hates being
apart from Felix, but if they ate
61
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.759
side by side, the bulldog would
eat the goat food. Simon likes nothing
62
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:52.360
more than cuddling with Felix the dog
or rumping around the dog yard, even
63
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.199
though it's AstroTurf. Felix is capable
spending time away from his goat prowl,
64
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.120
but he returns. He always gives
sent him in a bath with his giant
65
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:01.439
bulldog tongue. One of the shelter
workers said, so we're duo, but
66
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:04.000
it works for them. Who are
we to judge? They obviously love each
67
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:10.680
other. Good news somebody has adopted
them together. Congratulations Cinnamon and Felix.

favorite authors, including the four of
us with our new releases. As we
77
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.800
reveal the stories behind the stories,
offer writing tips, and talk about the
78
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:08.199
creation of novels, memoirs, and
nonfiction titles. So if you love books

You can listen to friends and fiction
on any major streaming platform. Most animal
81
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.959
shelters will tell you it's easier to
get dogs adopted than cats. So the
82
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:33.240
Wayside Waves did something that got international
attention and had found many of their cats
83
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:36.759
of Forever home. They posted a
video on TikTok with some of the cats
84
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:41.160
up for adoption. It got over
a million views. Thanks to the video,
85
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:43.759
all but two of the cats were
adopted. I feel awful for those
86
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.759
two cats. One of the shelter
workers said, we have comments from Brazil
87
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.360
and the Philippines and the UK and
all these amazing places. They'll blinking for
88
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:53.639
fun ways to come up with their
next adoption video. And a ten year
89
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.959
old girl made what her mom thinks
is the sassiest card ever, complete with
90
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:03.959
the words you love vodka. Geordana
received the gift and was thankful and said
91
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:09.040
she doesn't drink vodka. She talked
to people at the school and the teacher
92
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.600
that helped great the card. Jordana. The mom said she had the card
93
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.160
behind her back. It was quite
giggly, and she handed to me and
94
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:16.800
I was like, oh my,
he was really unexpected. I did a
95
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.560
nervous laugh, like have you actually
done this? I was quite shocked,
96
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.120
but I didn't mind because it's quite
funny. She's outgoing and funny. She
97
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.160
was proud of it, she said. The teacher said it was great,
98
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.639
and they helped her to cut the
bottle out of the stick on the front.
99
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.120
It was just getting worse. Not
only she made the card, but
100
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.600
she'd involved teachers to bring attention to
the fact that she's done this. We
101
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:38.079
had a parents' evening and the teachers
thought she was great. They thought she
102
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:42.120
thought outside the box and it was
really funny. But why if the mom
103
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.759
doesn't drink vodka. I don't know
what's going on here. That's your five
