Summary

If you’ve ever tried to get ice cream at McDonald’s, there’s a good chance you couldn’t because the ice cream machine was out-of-order. Even more frustratingly, these machines can't be easily fixed by McDonald’s employees because the error codes are secret, and can only be read by a repair person from the company that makes the machine. The reason why McDonald's doesn't just supply its franchises with properly working ice cream machines is a conspiracy between two companies that goes very deep.

ALSO: Craig joins to discuss his time working at McDonald's and all the pickles he ate in the basement.
