Luz Michelle:even I really would you say
Debbie Charlie:yeah, no, I prefer Dunkin over Starbucks. I am addicted to one thing that Starbucks makes it's a cold. Chilled it's an espresso and cream and little tiny can that wakes me up when I need to get some extra with that one day? Yeah, yeah. Last day was awake.
charlie ponger:You you like you like Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts? Starbucks
Luz Michelle:or Dunkin? But Starbucks isn't my favorite. I don't like either one of them. Yeah, it's not my favorite that some of them says they have. I do enjoy people like McDonald's. Yes. No, it's like the number one. That's the number one most it is. I add something new. It's something called like a Grappa Chino Island. It's made with mushrooms and oatmilk rally. Where do you It's freaking delicious.
charlie ponger:I saw a commercial that was like this perfect because I have done this. You go walk into Starbucks. And by the way, I don't like Starbucks coffee at all. Just so everybody now yeah. My friend Frank. My friend Frankie Leo loves so I gotta go in there with him. I'll have a small cup of coffee and they'll go brew and they'll say You want? I don't know, give me a name that they call the puppy. Like, did you want a grin? You want a
Debbie Charlie:grande latte? Yeah,
charlie ponger:I'm like, I don't know, I want a medium cup. I want a large cup. By the way, that's not even Italian. What you're saying.
Debbie Charlie:By the way, Starbucks is really not a coffee shop. It's a network.
charlie ponger:It's a network, right? What do you mean by that?
Debbie Charlie:Think about it. Starbucks. isn't selling coffee. They're selling you multiple things. It's all their locations that add up together. And you are a captive audience in their network. So you want to be in the Starbucks network if you are wanting to get to know demographic of people.
charlie ponger:Oh, I see. Just like, you know, McDonald's is a real estate company.
Debbie Charlie:On a movie. That is my point. Yes. And do you know that McDonald's today brought back the adult Happy Meal? What today?
charlie ponger:What is it? What is it
Debbie Charlie:they brought it's take it to nostalgic move on the part of McDonald's because everybody's wants to live in the past. Because this time,
charlie ponger:it's like, well, here we are the official teenagers. For all of it.
Debbie Charlie:Nostalgia is happening. And McDonald's version of nostalgia is to get people to go back to when they used to get a happy meal. And this is for adults. And it comes with your own toys and everything now. Yes. Wow. Right. Do
charlie ponger:you think in terms of fashion, that for women, that that whole thing is going to come back? Even pre 60s Like are girls women going to be dressed in like Leave It to Beaver clothes and stuff like that? Don't you think you were a little bit too tough on the beef last night?
Debbie Charlie:I you know what, what's what's in right now? Are and I'm sorry to report this. If you haven't caught it is people with their pants open? Well, that's a fashion statement talking about, like their fly's down. Yes, I'm gonna buy one unbuttoned unzipped pants. And then what's underneath? Well, if you're thin and young, you wear your G string talk and you pull it up on your hip so you're wearing like they can see your G string things on your side
charlie ponger:your pants like inside the zip faction. I'm not telling you you're gonna get an infection. The only
Debbie Charlie:the only good news about this Yeah, because girls are wearing it with like lace bras and just the pants. So
charlie ponger:what happened to the whole feminist movement thing and all of that? Is that part of this or
Debbie Charlie:somebody's telling it their head? I don't know. All I know is that if you're a little older and chubby this could work in your favor because pants unbuttoned and unzipped a little bit so the first out of them now are in so
