Dillon argues that fast food jobs like Arby's and Sonic are viable career paths, citing CEO Paul Brown's rise from entry-level to leadership as proof of upward mobility.
The hosts calculate that a Sonic cashier earning $5/hour plus tips can make approximately $15,850 annually, arguing this is a fair wage when combined with free food and drink perks.
Dillon criticizes Chrissy Teigen for her past online harassment of Courtney Stodden, contrasting Teigen's lack of talent with Stodden's musical ability.
