Send us a Text Message.Don't catch dysentery on the Oregon Trail. What spelled doom for McDonaldland? Some of the most accomplished musicians nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award.Episode 153 brings all the nostalgia you could possibly want.The show kicks off with a favorite memory of many school-aged kids of the 1980s and 1990s. Oregon Trail was more than just a fun game that taught kids to avoid dysentery and to watch out for broken wagon wheels on the prairie. It was an educational game that helped teach critical thinking and encourage social interaction. We will take a deeper look at this classic game. Years ago fast food restaurants catered toward the younger generation with colorful characters and bright cheery facades of their buildings. No establishment epitomized this as much as McDonald's. In the 1970s they revolutionized the way fast food was sold with their unique, and a bit trippy, McDonaldland. Then slowly it faded away. We go way Back In the Day to look at the events that led to the demise of McDonaldland.Even the greatest of the great can have off days or perceived off days. In the new Top 5 we will look at some of the most beloved and accomplished musical acts ever, who also just happened to have been nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst Song.There is also a new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the first official Tom and Jerry cartoon.For more great content become a subscriber on Patreon!Helpful Links from this EpisodeThe Lady of the Dunes.comPurchase My New Book Cape Cod Beyond the Beach!In My Footsteps: A Cape Cod Travel Guide(2nd Edition)Hooked By Kiwi - Etsy.comWear Your Wish.com - Clothing, Accessories, and moreDJ Williams MusicKeeKee's Cape Cod KitchenChristopher Setterlund.comCape Cod Living - Zazzle StoreSubscribe on YouTube!Initial Impressions 2.0 BlogShelter of the Monument Book - Yvonne DeSousa.comThe Oregon Trail GameListen to Episode 152 here Support the Show.

McDonald's marketing engine has been on overdrive since Q2 2020, when CEO Chris Kempczinski said the company was going to leverage a $200 million “marketing war chest” to accelerate pandemic recovery and “get aggressive in going after share.”The company has since given us Famous Meals, kicked off with Travis Scott, Cactus Plant Flea Market adult Happy Meals, and an organic response to the Grimace Shake Challenge. It's produced McDonaldland character Crocs , a VIP McGold Card, a global FIFA World Cup campaign, and “The person who runs the McDonald's account.” This “war chest” has gotten us all talking, has kept McDonald's top of mind for Gen Z consumers, and has generated traffic, sales and, according to executives, more market share indeed.

It's a new week, meaning new opportunities in the retail auto industry. Today we're covering why EVs cost more to repair than ICE vehicles, Northwood University's new Master's Degree, and McDonald's new restaurant spinoff.Electric vehicles (EVs) are proving costly to repair after accidents, surprising many owners with high bills and extended repair times.A recent Wall Street Journal article said that repairs for EVs are generally more expensive than gas vehicles due to the need for more replacement parts, complexity, and fewer specialized repair shops.On average, EVs cost $6,587 to repair post-collision, versus $4,215 for traditional vehicles, with insurance premiums also being higher for EV owners ($357/month for EVs vs. $248/month for ICE).Special considerations like lithium-ion battery risks and the use of exotic materials like aluminum in EVs add to repair costs and complexity.According  Scott MacFiggen's neighbor backed into his R1T pickup truck last summer, he faced a $22,000 repair bill and 2½ months wait, reflecting a common trend among EV owners.Despite current challenges, signs point to potential cost reductions as spare parts supply increases and more repair shops gain expertise.“People are used to hearing that EVs have fewer parts than a combustion vehicle, but that is not the case in collision repair,” - Marc Fredman, Chief Strategy Officer, CCC Intelligent Solutions.Our friends at Northwood University are launching a first-ever specialized Master of Science in Organizational Leadership, which will provide in-depth exploration of auto industry-specific challenges and leadership skills.Features automotive-focused readings and cases, interactive and experiential learning scenariosFrom the Auto Remarketing article: The program, designed for participants with diverse auto industry experiences, offers a path for graduates of Northwood's automotive marketing management and automotive aftermarket management programs, creating “a unified and comprehensive educational journey,” Northwood said in a news release.Flexible 24 month online format w classes starting on Jan 15th. McDonald's is further unveiling CosMc's, a secretive new restaurant spinoff, stirring intrigue and speculation in the fast-food industry and from one influential tik-tockerBased on a little-known McDonaldland character from the late '80s, CosMc's aims to blend McDonald's core essence with a distinct personality.The first presumed location is in Bolingbrook, Illinois, where a retro-style building and multiple drive-thru lanes can now be seen, hinting at a focus on quick service.Social media buzz suggests a shift towards McCafe-style offerings over traditional fast food, potentially challenging Starbucks.McDonald's has kept details under wraps, planning to reveal more during its investor day conference.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

Nick welcomes Marnie Shure, the Managing Editor of the food website "The Takeout," to the podcast, and they discuss the fact that McDonald's is loving the creepy Grimace videos all over the internet, that there are just way too many Subway franchises in America, and that State Fair Food is insane. Plus, Nick and Marnie taste test some weird animal-free gummies, and review some new horror movies. Then, Esmeralda Leon and Nick have a delightful conversation about the terrifying world of McDonaldLand and the horrifying world of 70's children's TV, the complicated topic of Eyebrow Technology, and the difference between Donald Westlake and Donald Stephens. Oh, and also, how Phil Collins looks a lot like Charlie Brown. [Ep167]

Back in the day, if you watched any television, it was hard to avoid Ronald McDonald and his McDonaldland friends. Every time you turned the channel, you'd see Mayor McCheese, Grimace, and the Hamburglar. But most of them disappeared years ago. You might see them on a Happy Meal box or in the Play Place, but they haven't been on TV in years. But that's about the change, as the Hamburglar will soon make a return...

It is I, the Hamburglar! Where is MeganBob? Safe and content, I assure you. True, after they plumbed the depths of their desire for commercial mascots in this episode,  I whisked them away to my personal playplace in a secluded corner of McDonaldland. But, for once, I have not played the villain -- even I cannot robble what is freely given. Still, they are indisposed, so there will be no episode description today, but rather a cautionary tale. In this episode, Meganbob, Hub, Kit Mulkerin, and James D'Amato dared to seek their boners in my world, the world of capitalism's most beloved and seductive avatars -- like me, the Hamburglar! In the chaos that ensued, Chester Cheetah pushed Kit's love for Flamin' Hot Cheetos to the limit; James fell to the allure of a bathhouse where Tony the Tiger rubs shoulders with Mr. Clean; and all were left to wonder what darkness hides behind the hungry eyes of Poppin' Fresh. I return now to my lavish hideaway, where my lover's buns await my covetous touch. Whether you listen to this episode is your own affair. You know the risks, if ever one of these rakish brand representatives has persuaded you to give in to a base desire for Froot Loops, or the fantasy of effortless toilet cleaning. Know that other urges, too, may strike like thieves in the night... and I assure you, there is nothing so easily stolen as a heart.
