Gina Tries Burger King Again From March 17th, 2026 · The Radio From Hell Show - Best Of

  Speaker 1: So, Gina, yesterday I was going to ask you, so
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: did you do what you said you were going to do?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: So I was telling you guys about my viewing of
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: the Academy Awards. I watched the whole thing, and one
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: of my big takeaways from the Academy Awards is I
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: need to give Burger King another try, because because they
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: were big advertising.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: They're susceptible to advertising.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: It worked. They had a really good ad that ran
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: several times, and not just that, like Matt Barry, the
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: announcer he a couple of times said I brought to you.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: By a Burger Kids.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: They spent a lot of money on the Academy Awards
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: and the King. It worked for me because the the
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: thrust of the of the ad was, hey.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: You know, you know we've screwed up.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: We were we were a big deal when we first
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: came around, and we sort of have been neglecting it.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: And we're so you went. Now I'm looking at the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: menu and I probably can't guess what you were going
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to have what you had. You probably didn't have the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Texas double Whopper. No, you probably I know you didn't
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: have the Whopper with cheese.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: No, Because Bill at Burger King.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You can have it your way.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: You can have it your way.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: So it was meat and bread.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: So is that all you had? I had one meat
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: patty and two slices of bread.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I had a whopper ketchup only. Yes, if you go
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to X ninety six dot com slash live.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Umm, well you got a crown.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I gave you a crown.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: So I pulled up to the Burger King. I haven't
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: been to Burger King. I don't remember the last time
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I ate a Burger King. It's probably been fifteen twenty.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Years since I've eaten at a Burger King.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Sorted a whopper ketchup only, and I can have it
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: my way.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: They don't. There's no judgment there with how I want that?
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: And I got an order of onion rings.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what you say, there's no judgment, but
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: they do judge you, you think, so, Yeah, they just
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: don't say it.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Because he's like, great, now I gotta make one.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Because one of the things that, by the way, Burger
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: King is not advertising with us.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: This is not an ad for Burger King.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: We're gonna send them a bill.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I should send him a bill.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: But one of the things they changed is They used
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: to take the whopper and just wrap it up in
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: paper and throw it in the bag and it'd get
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: all smushed.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: That was one of the things in the commercial.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, it's it now comes in a box like
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: it should.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: All right, And I pull up to the window.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, when you order, I had like
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: a whopper ketchup bully in order to onion rings and
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a diet coke. And the nice lady that worked there said,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: all right, all right, you rule.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's what you're supposed.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: To that's what you're supposed to say.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Sure, the King, you should look at these Hamburgers carry
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: You could really go for a fully loaded cross sandwich
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: cross sandwich. Yeah, fully loaded baby.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: And so I pull up to the window and my
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: my wopper ketchup only is ready, and the the nice
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: lady at the at the window said, do you want
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: a crown?
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Well, sure you have to ask no, Yeah, I mean
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: give me a bond. I'm sure if there's a kid
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: in the car, they just automatically give you one.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And I said, but you bet. And if you go
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: to x ninety six dot com slash live you can
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: see my my crown.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: This is very quaint. They have on the menu something
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: called a hamburger.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, where's your crown?
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Like right now?
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's in my car. Do you want me to
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: go get it?
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, I don't know why you didn't bring
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: it in.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I forgot until I got up here. That I did
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: is I don't have it here you want. I have
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: had chicken fries in the past. So my big takeaway is, okay,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: we we we like the like restaurant hamburger. You know, Bill,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: you were talking about this. Yeah, if you're gonna have
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: a burger, you want like.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: A go to Lucky thirteen, a really good.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: But sometimes you're on to go. You don't have time
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: for that. You need to drive through and you need
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to drive through burger. I would I would pick that
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: burger over a McDonald's burger.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I think, well you need to you need to now
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: today you need to go have a big arch burger.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah. See we gotta compare now. But you'll she's really
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: the wrong person to be doing it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I'm you, really, if you cared about this show, you
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: would go.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I think I'll go today.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean you go to Burger King, get the
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: whopper with everything, and then you go to McDonald's and
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: get you know, and and say it this way, I'll
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: have the arch burger. And when they say what do
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: you want on that, you say, chef's discretion.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: So so if I go to Burger King today, do
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I get? Do I just get the regular whopper? Just
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: get a whopper, not a double whopper, a whopper with
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: cheese or I mean whatever. I don't. I don't particularly
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: care for cheese on my hamburgers for some reason. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: used to like it, but I don't like it. So
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: they got it. They got They got the big Fish.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Which isn't the flea a fish?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: No, it's well flay, it's flay, it's a big fish.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know. They still have the Impossible Burger, which
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: is not meat, right, No, that's.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I wonder how many of those they sell, really you
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: think they?
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I think probably there is a certain it.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: It's still on the menu, I imagine.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: But you think, well that there are people who want
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: who don't want to eat meat, but they want a
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: hamburger like thing and they'll go get that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: They just don't seem like the type of people that would.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Go to sure they are yeah, yeah, I mean, if
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: it's available, if you make it available for vegans or vegetarians.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: They'll go get it, aren't they too?
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Aren't they too weak to go get it?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Gina, I know several vegetarians that could kick your ass
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: in two seconds.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: You want to talk impossible, that's impossible to eat.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: They got the classic Royal Crispy chicken. Now, the the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: biscuit looks really good. I don't know why it's called
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the SEC biscuit.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: SEC.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Well, that's probably a s f C s f C biscuit.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It must be sausage and yeah, s FC biscuit. I
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: don't know. It looks delicious. It's a breakfast item, cheese
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and egg and sauce, Southern fried chicken. Ah, it's chicken
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: bas chicken biscuit, chicken sandwich. Well, that's sausage though, that's
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: just what it says here. Oh okay, all right, maybe
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it is. I guess it's not us. They have two
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: different kinds of onion rings, they do, I think, Oh no,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: now I was looking at that wrong talking.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: About now the onion ring there is like an onion
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: flavored ring. You bite into it and there's not really
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: an onion's.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: And they're all perfectly around. Yeah, that means that they
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: were It means they were frozen.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: And they and they have onion flavoring.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not a great onion ring.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: That's not any way to go.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Why didn't you get fries?
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I like it because I like onion rings.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Well, you like fries too, I do.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: But but I went.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: So I went to the one on on Highland Drive, Okay.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: And what I should have done is got the whopper
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: there and then gone across the street to Crown Burger
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: to get some onion rings, because yes, they have better onion.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: And carry your wopper into Crown Burger and sit at
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the table and eat your whopper with their onion rings.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: My wife loves burgers, but she's been vegetarian for eight years.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: She's had the impossible burger many times.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: And she could kick my ass.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think there are a lot of people like that.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: SEC biscuits sausage, egg and cheese.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: Oh okay, that's Seccurity and Exchange Commission biscuits.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Oh I guess I could I read that as an
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: an f and not any Yeah.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: You can get frings at Burger King. It's a mix
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: of fries and rings. There you go, Gina.
• 8:15

• 9:16
  Speaker 1: One other sort of related to not really related, but
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: you know how I was complaining that the bar X
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: sign they don't light it up anymore. For the last
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: week and a half, the bar X sign has been
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: on every morning. It's just for you, Bill, so thank you,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: thank you for doing that. I missed seeing it. It
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: was it was dark for a long time. I don't
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: know why they've started leaving it on again.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: Text here About a decade ago, I had a group
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: of seniors walking the class I was teaching thirty minutes late.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: They knelt and handed me a Burger King crown. I
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: excused their tarny. I've kept that crown until I switched schools.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: I applaud these children. I'll bring my crown up.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: And here's the text. This show is so gastronomy we
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: are We're too gastronomic.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get complaints.
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: Yep, Well what about you never take their sad orange
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: clown bat?
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: That's all you say?
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Is there any other Are there any signs of the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Burger King in there, of the actual king himself.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Other than your.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: No, because they got rid of it, so there's just nothing. Well,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: then they shouldn't call it Burger King anymore. I why
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: not get a crown from the dethroned burger Kings?
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: No, I see. I think the thing is is that
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: when you go to Burger King, you you rule. Yeah.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: I think that's what that's the message. That's their new take.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: Now you're the king, and if you buy over thirty
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: dollars worth of stuff. Yeah, you are the CEO of
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: for an entire hour.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: It's interesting that they it seems to me that they've
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: tackled this head on in light of the McDonald's CEO
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: that's doing that video.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: They say, all of their CEOs, Wendy's Burger King, they
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: all sent out videos of them eating their sandwiches.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: You know who also did Bob Harmon?
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: Oh? Did he?
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: He did one for his That's a good burger.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: That's a really good burger. How are their onion rings
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: over there?
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: They just have burgers and fries, but they fry them
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: and beef tallow, which.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I know you like the beef.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: The only thing I agree with.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Him on, too bad. Beef tallow makes my wife ill,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: so we can't we can't get
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: The beef that is to
