from The DeTalented Podcast · host Brian DeTalente

Why McDonald's Pizza, Playlands, and "The Pizza Guy" represent everything we lost about fast food... plus we ate turtle, alligator, and a pepper that could kill you. 🐢🌶️Brian and Jimmy dive deep into food nostalgia — from the McPizza and Ronald McDonald era to the soulless fast food of today. We talk about a co-worker with disabilities who became the McDonald's "Pizza Guy," share stories about eating snapping turtle (did you know it has SEVEN different kinds of meat?), and recount the time someone called the police over a wrong DoorDash order.Other topics: Burger King vs. Dairy Queen, Costco food court chaos (pizza dough riots!), Long John Silver's memories, the Buffalo Wild Wings Blazin' Challenge, wasabi as "exhaust fumes," and our take on the Hot Ones show.🎙️ The DeTalented Podcast — real talk, raw conversations, and a little bit of everything in between.👕 Want your comment featured?
