Transcript
Good morning.
Speaker A:It's Haystack.
Speaker A:It's pretty much my favorite time of the week when we get to chat with my dear old friend Bama, who lives down in rural Alabama these days.
Speaker A:She moved away on me and Bama.
Speaker A:I heard you've been a little down this week.
Speaker A:Something about your alma mater closing.
Speaker A:I didn't realize you'd gone to college.
Speaker B:Oh, Haystack, I am absolutely crushed.
Speaker B:My old Hooters is a shutting down after 42 glorious years of orange shorts, broken dreams, and ranch dressing surcharges.
Speaker B:It's kind of like losing a piece of my soul and about half of my wardrobe.
Speaker A:Hooters.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Yeah, you.
Speaker A:You did work there back in the day, didn't you?
Speaker B:Oh, yeah, you bet I did.
Speaker B: Back in: Speaker B:And the reason for a new HR policy.
Speaker B:They even had to add no deep frying during happy hour because of me.
Speaker A:Oh, goodness.
Speaker A:I don't even want to know what that means.
Speaker B:Oh, those were the days, Haystack.
Speaker B:Back when shorts were shorter and the tips were in cash and the fryer all doubled as self tanner.
Speaker B:You didn't need no bronzer.
Speaker B:You just leaned over the mozzarella sticks.
Speaker A:I. I feel like that's some kind of a safety violation.
Speaker B:For sure it was.
Speaker B:But it was worth it.
Speaker B:Anyway, all this talk's got me nostalgic.
Speaker B:I was thinking about busting out my pantyhose and my cleavage and opening a restaurant called Droopers.
Speaker A:Droopers?
Speaker A:I don't.
Speaker A:I don't think the world is ready for that, Bama.
Speaker B:Oh, honey, the world wasn't ready for me back then, either.
