3. The Founder: Peter John Hancock, a McSlut, and a Little About Ray Kroc


Listen Later

Everyone has a core memory about McDonalds - for Sabrina it is how delicious their fries are and for Elizabeth it is her time being a slut at... *ahem*, working at McDonalds. This weeks episode focuses on the 2016 movie "The Founder". Elizabeth shares the origin story of the McDonald's brothers and how a milkshake really did bring a boy to their yard. The boy being Ray Kroc who not only came to their yard, but ended up swindling the brothers out of millions of dollars, and (contrary to what Sabrina had wished upon him) turned McDonald's into a multi-billion dollar corporation.
