Hello everyone, this is running on empty
food review
Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching. This is running on empty food review. I am your host is report of the week
Boy, am I hungry?
It's time to refuel and that used to be the old intro that I used to do for this show like back in 2012
I'm talking
But I think it is still suitable, you know
boy am I hungry?
It's time to refuel. That's a that's a suitable suitable line
Anyway, well if you can't already tell I am in full
Night-owl mode right now. I mean it is
Probably close to 3 a.m. Right now. I
dragged out some extension cords, and I brought the fluorescent lighting out here and
Yeah, this is like full-blown
Full-blown night owl right now and sometimes a setting this up
I was kind of just I can't help but laugh to myself thinking like if someone is just
walking in the street right now and they're just walking by and they
Look here and they see the guy with all these lights here. He's sitting there
3 a.m. But that's that's just what I do. That's just how I roll
and I was hungry I said, yeah, you know, it's
It's that time of the night. I want to get something to eat. I want to get something to munch on and
when I have a little bit of fun with it - that's what I was thinking went over to McDonald's over to the
the
Golden arches as they say you can see it's folded
I guess it's the folded arches, but it's like a partial McDonald's right there
May I see that that says that?
McDonald's right there you can see the proof for verification
and I got one of the quarter pounder burgers that I
Haven't tried you know, usually if I ever get a quarter pounder from McDonald's I get the the regular, you know
the quarter pounder with the cheese and this time I went with a quarter pounder with cheese bacon and
That's not like any it's a it's a quarter pounder with cheese and they so it's not like there's this weird
Bacon esque substance that they call cheese bacon. It's just a quarter pounder with cheese and bacon
That's all there is to it quarter pound beef patty
American cheese thick cut bacon
Ketchup pickle slices and onions and you know what? They said. I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it the way I want it
tonight
Cuz in reality this is like this is my meal. Okay, I
said
Instead of getting onion slices. I'm gonna get them diced that says I'm I don't know
I'm more of a fan of their diced onions, even if some people like to say that well, we're quality.i
that's just how I like it and then I got it with one one slice of cheese instead of two because you know
I'm just that daring and I'm just an adventurist I said yeah, I'm gonna go with it go
with it
Fresh beef with cooked when you order this is one of the summertime favorites
All right, so you can see we got the burger right there quarter pounder
You know
cheese could be
Cheese could be a little fresher. But you know, that's just what it comes down to it's like it's you know
It is what it is, right?
But there we go there there I am with it. Let's just let's figure this one out. Now. Let's
We're doing something with it anyway, but let's see what we got. We haven't got the cheese. We got the bacon and
Well, the onions are a little more
Diced I think what they did is I just kind of cut them up a little finer
We got the pickles and the ketchup and all that stuff
so everything that's there is there it's just the only thing is that's the
Little slice of cheese is kind of trying to escape on us
But when it comes down to my own meal this is like what I'm gonna be eating tonight. I figure well
It doesn't need to look picture-perfect
You know
Like look, you know how fast food is right every time you go to get a fast food item there could be anything pizza
chicken sandwich
Burger, you know you name it, right?
It almost never looks exactly like it does in the advertisement
so it all comes down to what it tastes like I'm gonna find out and
We're gonna enjoy this meal and have a little bit of light
Conversation too first and foremost a quarter pounder with cheese bacon going in
So, I mean you see it's
Nighttime I wasn't I wouldn't I wasn't lying to you. I mean, maybe I was maybe like
This is some really weird climate control dome that I live in and you know
The little netting on the sides. There isn't to keep the bugs out
It's to keep me in. That's a creepy thought right there
Nonetheless, you know, maybe it's not really night and I just somehow dimmed it but
Just take my word that it actually is nighttime. It's 3:00 a.m. Right?
Know if people are fast asleep. They're dreaming, right?
maybe they were dreaming they're up now, but
Most of the population statistically is asleep as I'm recording this, right?
and
Every night we have sleep cycles
REM sleep, about five to six dreams per night on average usually, okay
So dreaming is a common thing
It happens to every one of us good dreams are bad dreams your crazy dreams. We have boring dreams
So on and so forth, but you know how it is. There's so many different types of dreams out there. We all have them
And get this right I
Was researching and talking about this in my podcast, but I still can't get over it
so I'm going to talk about it some more I
Used to think that I knew why we dreamt I thought it was an established fact, right?
I was mistakenly taught that dreams were proven scientifically
Sort through our memories for the day
Catalog them so on
So, you know being mr. Big brain, I thought that that's what it was
And I realized the other days I was doing some research about it
That's not necessarily the case
Right. We do not know why we dream we
Don't know why REM sleep happens. We don't know what the real purpose behind
Dreaming is and it's all theories. It's all you know, there's more theories that are prevailing
There's some that are just really out there but nothing is is set in stone
Proven and I think that's absolutely fascinating
You know a lot of people believe in hypothesize that dreams are whatever
Dealing with your memories and cataloging your thoughts and emotions, but we just don't know
Burgers good, by the way
So as a result
It remains a mystery and
To me. It's like, you know, I'm like all this interesting stuff. I like area 51, I like all that stuff
but when it comes down to area 51
There's people that know like about, you know area 51 they know what's in it work their
Dreams are one of those things we still don't even really truly know what it is
Yet every single one of us experiences that I think that's absolutely fascinating
Here's some
Baby bacon bits right there
And in my podcast I was sitting there I was doing this discussion about predictive dreaming, you know, sometimes people will say
you know, they can predict a
future event big or small
through their dreaming
And I was thinking to myself because I was taking listener
Comments and feedback and you name it? I mean what if like deja vu
is
Really explained through predictive dreaming. This is just a theory, but it was an interesting one anyway
but so a lot of people were saying, you know in their dreams they were
What's they just seeing?
Like a place or a conversation you're nothing like incredible nothing life-changing but seeing it in their dreams before it happens and
Then eventually it will transpire and they get this sense. Like wait a minute, you know, I've been here before
What if it was through your dream or something to that extent that that's why you get that feeling. I mean who's to say?
either way, it was just really fun to explore all these different possibilities about dreams and the like and
It was just fascinating. That's all that I can say cuz you know, like I said, I personally think that dreams
You know, it's cataloging your thoughts
Dealing with your emotions and how you're feeling and what's going through your head and all of that
But we just don't truly know at this point this fascinating to see so much interesting perspective and comments about dreams. I
mean like sometimes I'll have a
crazy dream
The other day I had a dream about like one of these buns wasn't this exact bun mind you but you know
It was like the sesame seed bun get on these burgers and dream. There was this who's like this giant?
Truck not like a monster truck, but it was big, you know
like really souped up and
It was driving down the street but instead of wheels that had these sesame seed buns and it was just like riding on these giant
And buns and they were just going around and I was somehow keeping it off
Sometimes you just could think you really weird these really weird dreams. That's all that's all that I can say about it
Now I'm like I said about the burgers burgers fine
You know, my biggest issue is just a cheese the cheese quality
But I mean the quality of the beef was far tasted really good. It was juicy tasty
I'm gonna be finishing that up the onions. I do like when they're cut a little more on that thin side
I don't know
It just gets that flavor a little bit less
Concentrated and it spreads it out and kind of get a little bit in every bite, which is good
Otherwise, it's a bit overwhelming but you have to catch up the pickles all that just blends in well
The bacon was tasty
He saw I had that I couldn't resist that the rip a little bit of that bacon strip off and try it out
And I had that just I had to go in go for it. The quarter pounder quarter pounder does not
Disappoint it's a solid sandwich. I don't have a problem with it and
So he's a favorite five dollars and twenty-nine cents in my opinion for like a good Deluxe burger from McDonald's
Not any of that artisan or a signature
crafted
Burgers but it's like keeping it to the basics, but it's just it's a good burger. That's all I can say about it
I mean out of ten I would be given and I would give this an eight point zero out of ten
I know I'd give a couple things the last video and eight out of ten. But again, this is like
It's just it's good for what it is, you know, like a fast-food burger for McDonald's. It's good
tasty, and that's what it all comes down to and
With that who knows if I'm gonna be having any dreams or any nightmares or whatever about this
This burger or what's gonna happen with that?
But otherwise, it's all that I have for you
