Where's the Beef? - with Dan Cass

About this episode

The episode discusses the bizarre trend of burger CEOs making eating videos and features comedian Dan Cass.

By now you’ve probably sick of hearing about the weird video made by McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempciznski, where he nervously takes a tiny bite of their new burger, referring to it as a “product.” Since then, a myriad of executives have tried to one-up each other with their own burger “eating” videos, creating a full-fledged social media spectacle with the hopes of raising sales and building brand loyalty. But one question still stands: why won't these burger CEOs show themselves swallowing their own “meat?” Today Chicago comedian and burger aficionado Dan Cass joins us to look at the incredibly weird new burger wars, which instead of making people want to buy one, is making everyone question their life choices. Plus-- • Did Timothée Chalamet’s off putting comments on opera and ballet cost him the Oscar? • BuzzFeed reports they may be going out of business. Here’s 10 reasons and why #4 will shock you.
