More McDonald's Hacks plus Cinnamon the Goat and her friend the dog

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, 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
