He made more than 70 of these calls in the United States over a 12-year period.</p> <h2>Why do we obey?</h2> <p>Some of the managers were charged with rape and kidnapping as a result of these pranks. How could they fall for such a prank?</p> <p>The truth is, humans are programmed to respect authority. But why do we obey? In this episode, you’ll hear real audio from <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=stanley+milgram%27s+obedience+experiments&oq=Stanley+Milgram&aqs=chrome.1.0l6.2040j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8">Stanley Milgram’s experiments on obedience and authority</a>. The results are shocking.</p> <p><em>Disclaimer: We will be talking about sexual abuse and other disturbing topics. Listener discretion is advised.</em></p> <h2>Bonus episode</h2> <p>Donna Summers, the manager in Mount Washington, sued McDonald’s for failing to warn her about the previous hoaxes. She asked for $50 million. She was awarded $1 million in punitive damages and $100,000 in compensatory damages.</p> <p>Listen to my conversation with her attorney Wendy Wagner.</p> <p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/pranks-part-1-30952858">The Pranks part 1 BONUS (McDonalds Lawsuit)</a></p> <p>https://www.patreon.com/posts/pranks-part-1-30952858</p> <h2><b>Links and sources</b></h2> <p>https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2005/10/09/a-hoax-most-cruel-caller-coaxed-mcdonalds-managers-/28936597/</p> <p>https://rapidcityjournal.com/news/local/man-on-trial-for-kidnapping-rape/article_faeff508-246c-54db-8a66-15d121c5112d.html</p> <p>https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2005/10/09/a-hoax-most-cruel-caller-coaxed-mcdonalds-managers-/28936597/https://web.archive.org/web/20090325234639/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15504125/</p> <h2>Credits</h2> <p>Today’s show was written by <a href="https://pretendradio.org/about/">Javier Leiva</a> and edited by Molly Brock.
