A 1989 training jingle and the day's thousand calories
This lighthearted clip opens with Joe playing a Wendy's employee training video from 1989 — a full production number teaching new hires how to serve coffee, decaf, tea, and hot chocolate. Joe is genuinely delighted by it: he calls the jingle chart-topper good, the epitome of the eighties in pop and rhythm, and wonders aloud how the kid who sang it never became famous. The year it was made, he notes, is the year he got his driver's license.
The nostalgia sets the menu. Inspired by the jingle, the day's OMAD meal is Wendy's: a double-meat burger Joe puts at about 580 calories, plus a chili with onions, cheese, and four or five crackers at roughly 330 — somewhere in the neighborhood of a thousand calories for the entire day.
Beyond the meal, the clip is a sign-of-life update. Joe records from the new studio in the new house after his move, letting viewers know he is settled and promising that more videos — and more OMAD meal tours — are on the way.
