U.S. — In a surprise development, Joe Rogan, host of the most popular podcast on the planet, decided to bring on a former McDonald's fry cook as a featured guest.
The since-retired McDonald's employee, named Donald, had just days ago been photographed serving up French fries at a Philadelphia drive-through. Incredibly, less than a week later, the former fry cook had landed a spot on the most downloaded podcast in the world.
According to producers, Rogan and the fry cook covered a range of topics during their three-hour conversation, including how each got their scars and why windmills drive whales crazy. "Honestly, we were second-guessing Rogan's decision to bring in some McDonald's guy," said podcast editor Don Billings. "We couldn't have been more wrong. It was an amazing conversation, and the downloads have been staggering. Tens of millions of people had already listened to the episode within twelve hours of its release. That's why Rogan is the boss."
At publishing time, Rogan had kindly extended an invite to a woman who also claimed to be a former McDonald's employee, though some have suggested the woman only claimed to be a fry cook to land a spot on Rogan.
