| 0:00.0 | Did you hear this? It is time for the best audio of the day. And you know who's back. |
| 0:09.2 | The CEO of McDonald's. He's back and he's eating on camera. Again. He had a interview with |
| 0:17.0 | the Wall Street Journal to discuss his viral moment. And this was when he was taste testing |
| 0:22.7 | the McDonald's Big Arch. And for the interview with the Wall Street Journal, because nothing |
| 0:27.2 | says fun like the Wall Street Journal, they went down into the McDonald's test kitchen, and this |
| 0:32.3 | time he was eating Nuggies. You got any advice for somebody to how to eat on camera? |

| 1:22.4 | And it went viral because it looked so goofy and ridiculous. |
| 1:29.2 | I mean, it went about as well as a CEO of a major company creating social media content you'd think would look. |
| 1:34.8 | And then so to kind of make fun of him a little bit, you had the Burger King CEO and the Wendy C. |
| 1:41.3 | All these other CEO of fast food joints trying their hamburgers and putting out videos on this. |
| 1:47.5 | Why McDonald's thought it was a good idea to send him out again after the first one was such a disaster and now to try chicken nuggets? |
