It felt like they kept moving the finish line. I mean, I'm over here getting repeat after repeat. It's such a disappointment to peel that off the wet cup or the fries and find out you just have another freaking park place.

Collect these for a $250,000 home. A home? I don't remember that.

That was in 87, so.

Yetis, we're about to play a sample of an episode of a different show. It's called The Big Flop. We think you're going to like it. And it's about this one incident in business history that is one of the funniest things we'd ever heard of. And we kind of experienced it. Remember McDonald's did that Monopoly sweepstakes? How could I forget, Jack?

With over 50 million prizes, it's supersized excitement. For years and years, the game was compromised. It was rigged.

Where you try to capture different Monopoly pieces to win like crazy prizes? My family ate at McDonald's like six days in a row on the Upper West Side, purely to get a Corvette. We didn't get one, spoiler. Nick, I didn't know this at the time, but there was a guy at McDonald's, a security chief, who almost pulled off the ultimate inside job to ruin McDonald's monopoly. Wait to hear this, besties.

You win a dream vacation.

And you can watch full episodes of The Big Flop on YouTube or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

On Wondery's podcast, The Big Flop, comedians join host Misha Brown to chronicle pop culture's biggest fails and try to answer the age-old question, Who thought this was a good idea? Like putting a little sticker on a cup at McDonald's, and that sticker was a Monopoly piece worth a million dollars. Yeah, there's a whole strategy behind it.

But at the time, the McDonald's collab with Monopoly was a genius idea, right, Jack? The only problem, when they picked their head of security, the one guy in charge of protecting those million-dollar Monopoly pieces McDonald's drew the wrong card. Comedians Ify Wadiwe and Beth Stelling join Misha on this episode to break down what really went down with the McDonald's monopoly scandal.

So here you go. You're about to hear a preview of The Big Flop. You can watch full episodes of The Big Flop on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
