Oh my god, hi. I'm Dave Holmes. Welcome to Troubled Waters, the show that treats popular

culture as the most important kind of culture, because it's popular. Now, back in the before

times, boy, we had a good time back in your 2018, your 2019. We would pit two teams of comedians

against each other and a pop culture battle royale. But now, you know, we're in the long tail.

We're sort of at the end, maybe, or sort of in the middle. I don't know. We're somewhere in the COVID era and

teaming up with another person who is not in your quarantine pod. Maybe lethal. It's definitely

more frowned upon than putting miracle whip in your deviled eggs. So for now, it is one comic

against another.

And to win this battle, each comic will be called upon to use their smarts, their rhetorical skills, maybe the good comebacks that they've been saving in their notes app to earn

the coveted Troubled Waters title Pundit Emeritus, which gives their opinion on McDonald's

new Moriah menu.

A little more weight than a civilians.

You're listening to Troubled Waters. Can we talk about the Mariah menu for a moment?

Can we just talk about the Mariah menu?

What's on it?

Well, everything is on it.

Everything is on it.

For 11 days, for the 11 days of Christmas, which is not a thing.

You can get one different item for free.

But you also, but you have to spend a dollar, so it's not free.

And you also have to order it from the McDonald's app, which the shame of putting that on your phone would have to just be backbreaking.

And she announced it in a tweet in which she is either emerging from or going back into the ocean, which I don't understand.
