    Get It, Guuuurl! – Mister MacNugget 14

    Of all social media platforms, Facebook has to be the worst. The vast majority of friends we have on there are people we thought we knew in real life, as opposed to a platform like Twitter, where you follow people you don’t actually know but are grouped by common interests. Following a person you know in real life isn’t all that bad, right? After all, staying in touch is a good thing, right?! In theory yes, until you get to see all of your “friend’s” emboldened political points of view they’d never utter in your actual company. Even worse….when a “friend” wants to reconnect with you only to hit you with the Pyramid Scheme Presentation that has CHANGED THEIR LIFE!!!Come along on this journey with Mister MacNugget to explore pyramid schemes further and decide why they still exist in 2019. Get 15 of your closest friends too. We will have a party, sell some crap, vacation FOR FREE in the Bahamas!!! Oh, and did I mention quitting your day job??? You could do that too, all you need to do is listen to the Mister MacNugget Show!

    Bobs and Pineapples – Mister MacNugget 13

    Rituals make up a big part of our lives that we often never think of because we’re so busy doing them on auto-pilot.  MacNugget has a couple rituals he’d like to share with you here on this episode of the show.The first is his Amusement Parking hat.  Being a gentleman of a certain age, the sun has a way of finding the bald spot on the back of his head, so when he goes to Kings Island, he reaches for his favorite hat.  It’s a Monsters University hat he got on his trip to Walt Disney World.  Interestingly, he is onto his second MU hat due to a run in with the roller coaster Diamondback and the roof of a park eatery called Potato Works.The second ritual has to do with cleanliness.  Do you use a loofah?  If not, you should.  They’re delightful, like a little cloud of soapy happiness, caressing your parts in the most delicate of ways.  Problem with this ritual is that MacNugget’s family also use their own loofah, causing his to be pushed to the back of the bunch, which causes them all to fall each morning when he showers.  Cause and effect.  The name of the game.Twitch is a fun place.  People play games, and you watch.  MacNugget had an interesting encounter with a Twitch streamer who said one thing in her “rules” section, but clearly meant something completely opposite of her rules in practice.  He decided to educate her chat on the proper way to cut a fresh pineapple to great results!Sit back, grab your park hat and loofah.  It’s about to get weird.

    The Ecto Hunt and Poop Tacos – Mister MacNugget 12

    Have you ever given ASMR a try on youtube or via a podcast?  Apparently it’s a whole thing now, attempting to give yourself the “tingles” or capturing the phenomenon of getting goosebumps in a bottle to be able to access when you want.  The acronym stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response.  MacNugget thought it was just some random one-off on the internet, but it turns out there’s a huge community behind it.  Who knew? Remember Hi-C Ecto Cooler?  Well, Mister MacNugget remembers a few years back, when the newest GHOSTBUSTERS movie came out, hunting for the stuff when it came back to stores in limited supply.  He chronicles for you his ongoing search that summer, ultimately landing him in one of the country’s most unique grocery establishments. Do you like the dentist?  MacNugget doesn’t typically but recently found a new dentist he really likes.  One he likes so much that he spoke with his assistant about the poop tacos he had for lunch at work.  While numb with Novocaine.

    Heavenly Bean Soup and Discontinued McDonald’s – Mister MacNugget 11

    Upon smelling something heinous in the hallways at work, MacNugget was appalled to find out that not only did the ladies down the hall not think the smell was bad, they actually referred to it as “heavenly.”  So heavenly, in fact, that they likened it to their favorite soup, which one typically wouldn’t refer to as smelling heavenly either.  It was a real shock to the ole system in many ways, and using more than one of the senses as well. Bean Soup Do you have a favorite McDonald’s menu item that, for whatever reason, was discontinued?  Over the years there have been many meals that have come and gone.  Many of which were delicious, and many so ill-conceived, it’s hard to imagine how they ever made the lineup in the first place (McLobster, anyone?). McLobster Roll Mc Hula Burger Mc DLT Grab a Hula Burger and buckle in for episode 11 of The Mister MacNugget Show.

    Red Vines and The Suicidal Pet Fish – Mister MacNugget 10

    Still utterly flabbergasted at the overwhelming mob of insane people who believe Twizzlers are better than Red Vines (delicious Red Vines), Mister MacNugget searches the web for articles defending the merits of preferring strawberry rubber to soft red licorice.  The one he finds, as you will hear, makes a lacking case in defense of Twizzlers, and in some instances, the writer makes a fool of himself most likely due to the fact that there is no real defense as the superior candy is clear. When starting this show, MacNugget started writing segments to record, but didn’t get to them last summer when originally penned.  Today he shares one of his written pieces with you.  This one covers a fiasco pertaining to when he brought three neon tetra pet fish home for his kids.  Apparently, two of the three were not fans of their new abode and protested their move in date to their own detriment. Enjoy the 10th episode of The Mister MacNugget Show!

    Sunday Morning Coming Down – Mister MacNugget 8

    MacNugget goes through the drive thru for some diet fast food and recalls the mental and emotional downer of a good thing coming to an end. What folks don’t think about when planning something as monumental as the BTTF event explained in episode 7 of the show is the fact that what once occupied every spare ounce of your being comes to an abrupt end, leading to a feeling of strange emptiness.  These feelings all coming just before MacNugget and his family jetted off for their first trip to Walt Disney World. It’s a whirlwind of highs and lows. And lows because of highs. None of this makes any sense.  Lil’ MacNugget 2 Lil’ MacNugget 1 Mr and Mrs MacNugget Mister MacNugget and Goof Grab a gummy hamburger and come along for the emotional roller coaster.

    Enchantment Under the Sea – Mister MacNugget 7

    Back in 2015, the greatest movie ever put to screen, Back to the Future, celebrated its 30 year anniversary. Mister MacNugget, being a huuuge BTTF fan, sat in his home over a rainy Memorial Day weekend and dreamed of how incredible it would be to host a recreation of the Enchantment Under the Sea dance locally to celebrate the milestone for the film.  What originally seemed a pipe dream turned to reality when he got on the phone with his old pal Nicki. She further fueled his fire to the point that the dance not only happened but with the amazing support of Mallory, another long time friend who worked for an organization dedicated to revitalizing downtown Middletown, it grew into an event for all time.   Sit down with Mister MacNugget as he recalls the process of making this fantastic event a reality and all of the great connections made along the way. New friendships were forged, a band was born, DeLorean owners were connected with, and much more.  Sit back, because when this episode hits 88 MPH, you’re gonna see some serious S***!!! No, really, once you’ve heard this episode be sure to tune into the Facebook and Instagram. Plenty of additional photos, videos, and publicity pieces will accompany this week’s show. Enjoy! Event poster created by Joshua Kelhoffer Marty MacNugget promotes the event.  Mallory and Andrew promoting the dance in a Delorean DMC-12 The Time Machine!! MacNugget and the little Nugget getting ready to make the jump.  Josh Shaffer takes the stage for Johnny B. Goode.  Emcee Nuggets hosts the evening.
