A Deep Dive into Health, Fast Food Deceptions, and Super Bowl Excitement

When a can of Red Bull doesn't actually sprout wings and McDonald's serves up more than just fries, where do we draw the line between catchy marketing and consumer expectations? Grab your headphones and prepare for a whirlwind tour through the intersection of advertising claims and fast food realities. We reminisce about the glory days of McDonald's and uncover some food for thought on how our quick meal choices might be affecting us in ways we never imagined. As we explore the lawsuit that had Red Bull handing over cash for their lofty promises, we'll also weigh the convenience of fast food against the potential cost to our health, without forgetting the brighter spots in today's fast food scene.

Turning inward, I invite you to join me as I recount my personal journey of health prioritization, sharing the steps I've taken to put well-being at the forefront. It's an honest discussion that aims to dismantle the barriers men often face when it comes to seeking help for both physical and mental health issues. Then, shifting gears to the excitement of the sports world, we give a sneak peek into our Super Bowl Sunday special featuring the San Francisco 49ers, and shoot the hoops with the latest NBA highlights. All this, plus a glimpse into the heartwarming content coming your way on In the Lounge TV, where we celebrate our beloved community with grandma stories, giveaways, and a dive into the importance of mental health support.

The news that you can use for these are for the people who drink red bull. Oh, a little known fact Red Bull has been sued for 13 million dollars. Why? Because their slogan says Red Bull gives you wings. A man named a Benjamin Carothers, said it didn't Suit him and won. Can you believe that he sued them and he won 13 million dollars? Because he said that it did not Make. It did not make any, any difference in his performance, athletic or any, any big enhancements or anything. So he said screw it. You said it's supposed to give me wings, give me more energy, and it didn't. So, red bull, we finna suit you. It didn't go to court. They settled out of court for 13 million dollars. Mr Benjamin Carothers, I applaud you. You're right around. The whole ring of everybody else is suing these people for, like the young lady sued McDonald's for a cup of coffee. She said she scarred herself because they didn't tell her it was hot, and she won. You're getting coffee. You're getting coffee. You've been drinking coffee a long time. You should know it's hot now. Mind you, if you read this whole story I think he be. It says he was drinking this for 10 years or something like this. And he said all sort of 10 years he wasn't getting any, any, any wings, and he any new found energy and he boosted in stamina or nothing. So he sued him and got 13 million dollars. So, benjamin Carothers, okay, I Hope you happy with it. And I wonder you still drinking Red Bull? Now? Little known facts with Red Bull Red Bull, for the people that's drinking Red Bull, red Bull has less caffeine in it than a cup of coffee. Less Caffeine than a cup of coffee. I did a study on it and it's true. Let's caffeine in a cup of coffee? Red Bull is, is is something to Boost just a little bit. It's nothing to keep you running for eight, nine, ten hours like a freaking horse. And when it says Red Bull gives you wings, come on, where's the wings? Is gonna grow out the side of your arm. Yeah, I got wings. Oh, no, man. But since that was your advertising and since that was your, your thing, they put it, put you as the false advertiser and they sued you. So Red Bull get sued 13 million. Mr Benjamin Carothers won 13 million dollars out of court because Red Bull and I give him wings. And that's been your news, news that you can use Today. Today's topic we're gonna be talking about McDonald's. Well, let's get it right. We're gonna be talking about fast food restaurants. We're gonna be talking about them from back in the day and then we're gonna be talking about them now. So I Remember when I was a kid Back this is in 1980s we had a McDonald's down the street from us. Oh my god, and you could smell the fries and you could smell the burgers and, and all that, and, and, and I would go out and play and run back mine. Can I go to make grandma? Can I go to McDonald's? You are for the people who, back in the day and they hurt, they had, they live with a grandmother, mother and you heard you got McDonald's money. I Heard that a lot. You got McDonald's money, boy. No, well, come on in here and eat one of your sandwiches. So, but I did. You know grandma, splurge here and there. I did get chance to get McDonald's and and back then, mcdonald's where it was McDonald's. It was good. It was Something that was better than what it is now Back at night. This is when McDonald's started, back in 1955. Back in 1955 they opened up. In 1955 a soda was 10 cent, fries were 10 cent, a burger was 15 cent and a cheese burger was 19 cent. This is back in 1955. Now you go to McDonald's you gonna spend 20 bucks. There's no more dollar menu. And Remember, remember, the best part about McDonald's that I love myself back then was the fries. Oh my god, how times have changed. How times have changed, how things you have seen and heard about how they make their fries. Oh my god, we first well, we first heard it on on some of these, some of these people who's been talking about McDonald's for the longest. Stop eating it, stop this and stop that. Then you heard cat Williams come out and let you know they use a pesticide on their potatoes to keep them fresh. Pesticides is Poison. This poison is so freakin strong when they put it in there. The farmers themselves cannot go Back into the place within five days or they will be sick and die like what you think. They watched them all off. No, they're feeding this to us. And yes, yes, yes, yes, we love McDonald's fries because they got sugar and salt on them up. Yes, that's what gets you addicted the sugar and the salt. That's what's in McDonald's fries. It's what's crazy, is it? Is that we call it fast food. But what is it fastly doing? Is it fastly killing us or fastly helping us to get from point A to point B? Now I'm not gonna sit here and like to you, to you, all McDonald's now, all McDonald's, all fast food is bad for you. There are some good, healthy fast food options out there, but we don't want them because we are so stuck on McDonald's, we're stuck on Burger King, we're stuck on on other things like a, a Wendy's, wendy's. Back in the day, wendy's was wonderful when, when Dave was there and and his daughter had to look curly, red hair, oh my god. Never, never frozen, always fresh man I want to make, I want to burk. I went to a Wendy's and I'm not gonna lie to you, I went to men. Wendy's got me a Chicken sandwich. Because I don't eat the only person, the only place I would eat their beef is is, and it's not in and out. Um, I would eat their beef is at At um. Nations nations is a op. This probably about the property here, about it. But nations is a wonderful place and their stuff is ground, it's real, it's good and I don't get sick from it. So I want to Wendy's burger. You know lettuce, no, lettuce, tomatoes, it was a ghost pepper chicken burger, chicken burger. And I'm like, okay, oh great, I get it cut it open, because I cut my food open just to make sure it's it's cooked all the way inside, and it was. But as soon as I've been into it it feels like it came straight from the freezer because it was cold. They did they. Everything was on it and it was just sitting there and they just picked it up and put it in the plate. Now, mind you, I went back and told him and let him know, but I didn't want it. Then you know sometimes your things and I understand. I understand about, about, about fast food. Fast food means you getting the line. You never get inside. You drive through, give me your money, you get some food in the bag and you drive off. Is it really fast food or is it making you sick and you slowly, fast food is slowly making you sick. Crazy. Is this Taco Bell? Everybody says this is about Taco Bell. Taco Bell had a lawsuit on him too, about it was some kind of a little animal in their food and it wasn't the beef or whatever. It was a little rotent. That's you know. I'm just saying what the internet been saying. I'm just saying what's been reported. Now, what's crazy is this is Everybody says man, if I talk about, I have to get, I have to go to the throne, to the bathroom. Bro man, why would you continue to eat it if it's gonna do you like that? No, no, no, no. This pesticide that's going on, this french fries Come on now. I know y'all can figure out another way to do this without giving us poison. Yes, your fries are good, but since somebody eating poison, I'm not buying it no more. I stopped Mac messing with McDonald's fries and for finding anything else about it. I don't stop eating a food. The only thing I do is maybe go there and get a drink, maybe go there and get a, an apple pie or something like that. And, man, what's up with the, with the, with the ice cream machine being broke down all the time? Come on now. Is it? The machine broke down and y'all just don't want to do it? Tell me the truth. Tell me the truth. Come on. If y'all don't want to make it, I get out and making myself like all I want just a little little little McFlurry. I was broke. Every McDonald I go to, all the McFlurry machine broke, all this broke, all this broke. Why is y'all stuff broke? I go to Burger King, burger King, always they machines on, they slurpy machines. It's always broke but you advertise it like it's good. Come on, man, it was. I'll never forget this. It was blazing hot. I live in Cali, baby, it was like a hundred and four and I Couldn't find a gas station like where I was at. But it was a Burger King and I know y'all make slurpy. So I was like I gotta get me one, went on up there, drove into that line and it line was longest head and everybody who you, you heard slurpy, sorry, the machine broke, slurpy, sorry, the machine broke. And Dennis dude just came out and wrote a big ass sign. You wrote a big sound on the, on the, on the board the machine is broke. Please stop asking why is the machine broke all the time? But what killed me was this when you drive past the little, the window, you see them with a slurpy in the hand drinking it. All the machine broke for us, but y'all cats can get it. Really Not cool, not cool at all, man. So I, I myself. This is one place that I love going to and I enjoy it, and this is good. It's called nations. They make wonderful pies. If you ever go to nations, look up their cheesecake. If you love cheesecake, that's nations is one of the best places to get a cheesecake from. Don't even go to the cheesecake factory to get cheesecake. Go to nations, trust me, it is a wonderful place to get a cheesecake and it's low price. Good food if you want a breakfast, ask for the two-egger. You'd be full all day long. Two pancakes, two sausages, two eggs, hash browns, something to drink you good to go, you spinning. I want to say what? 15 bucks, not bad, not bad for all that food, and it's big, fluffy pancakes. There's no little skimpy, dampy pancakes is real good food. Nations now. Now, everyone that I talked to loves in and out. Their lines are wrapped around their building every freaking time. In and out is in Cali, in Everywhere you want to go, you see a in and out with the little palm trees and everything. Now there is a secret to those palm trees, that's that looks like an X. If you go there and look down, x marks the spot. It's a card there that you can go inside and get free food from. If you listen, I'm telling you how to get free food for the people who love in and out. Where the palm trees make an X, look down, because X marks the spot. They give you a free gift card. This is in every, every, every in and out. In and out is a Christian base place. They are beautiful, they're loved, they're great. The reason I don't eat in and out because I myself first came to California and my kids and my wife at the time one to get in and out. I had a Range Rover. I had a range Rover with cream colored seats and cream colored Interior. Every fast food chain that I've ever been to in my life, what they do get for me, they gave me a bag. A Bag In and out gives me a flimsy box. Oh my god, I was mad. So this is what happened the late we ordered, they ordered all this food animal fries and with the sauce and Two double decker's and all this other stuff. They knew the secret menu, whatever. And so this, this, this guy comes out. I've rolled to the window, he comes out with the wood thing. I said, hey, y'all ain't got no back now. We don't give bags out here. You can have it in the box and everybody. Come on, dad, it's okay, it's okay, I go to take the turn. The box was wet under the bottom I know why I was from and all of it falls in my car and messes up my interior. I Got animal sauce and animal fries and Catch up and stuff all in my seats. So, knowing that it was not my fault, I Didn't piss getting pissed off. At that point I scooped the stuff up and said hi. I said hey, you just see what happened. Can I get another order? He said, yes, that will be 35, 55, what? Okay, get a? What like bruh? What you? You? You really want me to pay again for this after you seen what happened. I Never told the story because I never. That was back in the new shoe, 2002. It is 2000, and I vowed in. I said I would never pay for an in and out. I don't care who getting it or whatever, I'll never pray for it. I never have. Today, with my first and it's 2024 in and out, and I still didn't pay for it. And I can't eat what they eat anyway because I don't, I don't, I haven't messed with a beef yet because I don't want to get sick. But yeah, no, no. And After then I never went back to you. Now, but, hey, more power to him, keep going. I love what you're doing, I love the sands under your cups, I love how you pay your people real good. But I just won't be there and that's okay. That's okay. I still will support you and I still will show them people. Hey, wherever the X is, go, look down under that and get you some food. It's free. You always, personne is free. Hey, that's real true. When you know it, hit me up, let me know a stone. You was right, it's there. Yes, er, yes, er. So hit me up, man, I, so, so, I'm gonna tell you, I Myself I'm going on this. I Don't know why I don't want to call it a, I Don't want to call it a Cleanse, but that's what. Probably it is For this year, because it's time for me to drop the pounds. You know, I like my, I like my weight, my how I look. Uh, you know, I'm not no bad looking dude, I'm not all Slaughty and big and huge, but I can't lose a little weight to make my health a little bit better. Because, hey, health is wealth.

We're going to give you a good recap, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to throw it over to our sports anchor, malcolm. Take it away. Oh, shoot, you see me. Here we are. We had the.

Speaker 2: 25:47

Mavericks versus the Celtics. That was a great game. It was cool. Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum did their thing, like always. Drew Holiday was efficient from the three point line doing this thing, making a couple of buckets. These guys sealed the deal. Got the win. Luke, you got the win. These guys sealed the deal, got the win. Luke played a phenomenal, as always, as Kyrie. The Mavericks are missing just a couple of key pieces, but I feel like they're still in good shape to be playoff contenders. Another great game that was played was the Kings versus the Hawks. That was a great game. Until about the fourth quarter it got out of the hands of the Hawks. They couldn't keep up with the Kings. Lots of bonuses phenomenal. Yet another game the Sixers versus the Spurs. Wimby versus Embi. Embi definitely a top candidate for the MVP this year. The man is basically leading the lead and scoring. Also just dropped that 70 piece with the 18 rebounds Completely amazing. Phenomenal. It's Will with Tyree Maxi, the whole supporting cast that they have out. There are Philly, nick, nurse, gary, Defensive Mindy Coach. I definitely see the Sixers landed in number one or number two seed in the East. Definitely in the playoffs Deep run. Hopefully they can make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, we'll see Another high scoring game. We had the Hornets versus the Temper Wolves. Carl Anthony Towns dropped 63 points, career high, 44 by halftime. It was a great game. The Temper Wolves was trying to force it too much like a one man show, trying to get him to break his career high in a game. So that's how they end up losing. Terry Rosear, miles Bridges with another ball, put it all together and literally came out with the W. Also, jt Thor, off the bench, dropped like 20 points. It was amazing, man, just to see them come together as a team and beat Kat. It's like one of those sayings like, hey, if I had 100 points and my team still lost, what was the purpose? It doesn't really matter, don't have any bragging rights. We still came out with the L. It's all about wins. Man, that's greatness, that's legendary. We also seeing Terry Rosear head into the Miami Heat, pascal Siakum going to the Pacers with Halliburton. That's going to be a crazy team with the Pacers. Hopefully we see them with a deep run as well in the Eastern Conference playoffs. But with that being said, let's take it over to football. We updates just to NFL. We're gonna do a little recap to the current games. Playoffs beginning of the playoffs bronze versus the Texans 45 14 Texans came to take care of business in the age town on. Young boys came to do what they had to do. Chiefs versus the Dolphins 26 7. Chiefs takes that. Tyree kill, look like he never even been to Kansas City a day in his life. Packers versus the Cowboys Packers a lot of people were down them. They came to play. Jordan Love had a lot of love shown after he beat America's team, the Cowgirls. Hopefully Jerry Jones can bring it back together and maybe see a Super Bowl before you know what. But anyways, on to the next game. Rounds versus the Lions Matthew Stafford back in Detroit. It's a real one. It's really getting close. But at the end of the day Matthew Stafford fell short to the Lions Clash to play off-berth in a long time. Jerry golf used to play for the Rams. Matthew Stafford used to play for the Lions. Times change, change in places. But anyways, on to the next game. Stillers versus the Bills 31 17. Stillers Mike Thomas never had a losing season but they came up short. To the Bills Josh Allen looked like he was going forward this year and he was the real deal. Bucking nears versus the Eagles. Everyone was wondering how the Eagles will show up, since they lost every, since they lost to the 49ers and lost every single game after they came showed up. But one man couldn't do him by itself. Devonte Smith was on fire but the Eagles came up short 32 9. Next round playoffs Texas versus Ravens. Ravens with Mark Jackson the real deal 30, 40, 10. Texans didn't have enough experience came up short. 49ers versus the Packers a lot of people were shook and a lot of people on the edge of their seats. It was a crazy game rainy. The Niners maybe had a little bit too much rest but they came back when the game 24, 21. Bucking nears versus Lions. Baker Mayfield to the second round, seeing if he can make it and lead his team to the conference championship game, but came up short to the Lions because the Lions were the real deal in Detroit, took care of business. They move on 31, 23. Cheese versus Bill crazy. Yeah, everybody's seeing it. Josh Allen played his heart out. Stefan Dees came up short on very important plays. The kicker for the bills blue to kick game came up short 27, 24 and this is what we're all waiting for 49ers versus the Lions. It's gonna be a good one. Me personally, I think the 49ers is gonna take this one, because I don't see anybody stopping the 49ers this year. This is supposed to be their year. That's my personal opinion. Also, on the other side, we got Pat Mahomes versus Lamar Jackson, and that's gonna be a good rivalry right there, as Lamar Jackson is trying to chase the second MVP, as Petra Mahomes already has to, so that's gonna be a toss up. I don't want to see the Chiefs again in the Super Bowl my personal opinion. But who knows? That's a 50-50 game right there. But stay tuned. Thanks for the weekly update.
