Is this the nineties?

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Like Quizno? Heard people about widows and forever?

Speaker 2 (00:39):
I could I could eat a horse yesterday, and I
was just craving like a I'll do right now.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
People always say that, but they never stand on business.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
You know, I'll stod on business right now.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Give me.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
I have been craving like good uh, like you know
what I mean, Like the the old school where they
had the conveyor belt go through the oven subs.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
I think they have that at Yeah, they have that popy.
They do that. By the way, if I'm gonna hot subs,
I go actually, yeah, yeah, I don't do that. I
would go pop. I know you would go public.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
But I just I miss the classic restaurants in the
like the nineties and the two thousands. Man Like they
don't make it. They don't do it like they used to.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
I feel like a lot of these restaurants it's not
like family oriented, Like do you guys remember Pizzahu would
have had like the fool.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Like what the pizza hut? I go to off of
Del Maybury. It's like Del Maybray and do you know
what you're talking about? It's they don't even have a taste.
It really is. And they're like, hey, I'm gonna go
get your order in the back, and they just turn
around and grab it like it's not like hello, one second,
we're gonna go back in the kitchen and get it

(01:53):
real here you go. I've seen them like make I
do miss certain things like that. How about this McDonald's playpens?
They don't have those anyone?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yea Andy and has it.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I was born in Tucson, Arizona, so all my like
family lives there, my grandma and my papa, and they
had dinosaur McDonald's and there was a big t rex
outside of the McDonalds was known as dinosaur McDonald's. I
heard from a TikTok. I don't know if it's true,
but essentially they've gotten rid of all the character and

(02:30):
like the the uniqueness of these restaurants because they're all
owned by pretty much the same corporation. Like these restaurant
chains have multiple fast food franchises, quick service, pizza huts, McDonald's,
burger Kings, all of those they get looped in. I
don't know which ones are which, but essentially the buildings
are pretty much the same, so that if one is

(02:53):
not doing well, they can flip the bag exactly.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
That's why all Wendy's, Taco Bell they all look the same. So,
like Jo said, say Wendy's goes under, it's easy for
them to get rid of Wendy's and bring in another
company and no one will be able to recognize or
if it's McDonald's to go yeah, like McDonald's, you would
know the McDonald's could be the McDonald's could have been
abandoned for twenty years. You drive by, you would know

(03:18):
it's McDonald's just because of the shape of It's same
with Wendy's and Taco Bell.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Nowadays, if you drive by an.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
Abandoned building that was a restaurant, you're like, wait, was
it McDonald's?

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Was it a KFC?

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Like?

Speaker 1 (03:26):
What was it? Also?

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Okay, that makes a lot of sense then, because they
just changed the old Boston Market that was on McMullen
Booth into a Wendy's.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
They need to bring back turquoise and pinks. Yeah, the
old were so.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Like dude, the Taco Bells, remember how like retro they
used to be.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Second, do you see what Taco Bell's doing now? They're
going retro? Are they? Yeah? No, it's sick. They're bringing
back there. It's the white two K menu okay, and
they're bringing back like the menu like they're doing the
apple pie panada or whatever. Yeah, they're they're doing like
everything's under three dollars. I like that. I like that.

(04:10):
I don't get paid by them.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
