Summary

This week Tom and Julie celebrate the return of a beloved McDonald's icon Uncle O’Grimacey with a Shamrock Shake taste test, and a deep dive into the unsavory past of the big green mascot. Plus they took a look at an odd old man pretending to be a kid, a man who makes porcupine hairbrushes and the return of George Brett in a musical way.
