Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of getting hammered. I am Mary Catherine Ham. I'm here as always with my friend Vic Mattis of the free beacon. How are things going, Vic?

Hello, Mary Catherine. I'm doing fine. I do have an inflation update for you. Okay.

Which is I, it's been a while, so I finally caved and I went to McDonald's.

You got to. Every now and then. Every now and then it's a craving. And then, you know, at the end of it, like, this happens every time I said, why do I do this to myself?

Right.

And I go to the McDonald's and I order from the kiosk, which, of course, it shows, which is insane, it shows you the calories of each sandwich.

Why would you want to do that?

It's like it would hurt your business. And yet I,

regardless of the calories, let's not get into the calories right now, but I did get a quarter

pounder with cheese, which in fact, it's a small sandwich, right? A quarter pounder with

cheese. And I had to supplement it with a fish filet, also a very small sandwich. Right.

A McDonald's surf and turf is okay is okay right and a medium fries not large I don't

need large I don't eat the supersized just a medium fry so quarter pounded with

cheese fish fillet medium fries no drink I got the drink at the office total

$17. Yeah.

It's 17.

It's up there now.

Gone.

Gone are those special deal menus.

There's a dollar menu with some pretty lackluster stuff.

It's a salt packet on the dollar.

That's right.
