<v Speaker 2>got to separate Robbie Williams and Ronan Keating. They're like

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 2>two powerful magnets. Have you ever seen them in the

0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 2>same room. They never showed the same stage. They can't.

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 2>It's irresponsible on the radio show to put them back

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 2>video recording. Let's get into restaurants for the nineties. To me,

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 2>restaurants in the nineties, it was all about Pizza Hut.

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 2>I remember when Pizza Hut came to the town that

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 2>I grew up, and it was big news. It was

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.680
<v Speaker 2>like Hollywood had come to town, right it was huge.

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 2>I went there for a birthday and my dad took

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 2>me there and I actually felt like I was on

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.960
<v Speaker 2>in an America movie. It was such a big thing, right,

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>do remember the adverts hit the Hut. I couldn't believe

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I was actually having the big sort pizza them was

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 2>that deep dish kind of Chicago style.

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 5>Yes, it was so deep now because we only ate

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 5>Pizza Hut as our main pizza when I was a kid,

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 5>I didn't know about thin pizza until my char later

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 5>on in life.

0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 2>Thin crust. At first, I was suspiciously that they ripping

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 2>us off here pizza where it's all that heavy dough.

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:48.680
<v Speaker 2>It's got no flavor whatsoever. And I remember actually going

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 2>on a date with a girlfriend to Pizza Hut to

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 2>impress her, because in the nineties you would do that.

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 2>If you're dating someone now and you go to Pizza Hut,

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>there's no second date, is there? You're like, you're down

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 2>on your luck. I went out with him. When do

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>you go Pizza Hut? I don't think he's doing very

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 2>well at the moment.

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 5>But the great thing about Pizza Hut in the nineties

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 5>were they're eating restaurants where you could go to the

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 5>self served desserve.

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for like six barks. I were thinking, like how

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 2>they are they? Okay? This I can keep going on.

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:15.959
<v Speaker 2>I've just been up for the fifth time.

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 5>This is the best date ever.

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 2>What are the restaurants when you think nineties, what does

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 2>it sum up to you?

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 5>I'm thinking of all of the all you can eat restaurants.

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 5>The other two that we went to were Sizzler and

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 5>Small Geese, And honestly we were as me and my

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 5>brother were so excited to get to the dessert bar

0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 5>that were right.

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>It was like Christmas Eve, you know that white heat

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 2>excitement you get because it was a real tree.

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.679
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you ran the soft serve machine yourself.

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.720
<v Speaker 2>And you could go there first forget about first course.

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 5>No, well, my parents said you have to eat all

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 5>your dinner before you go, so like we would like

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 5>down pizza and then they get there's jelly cubes, yes,

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 5>soft serve or the sprinkles, the chocolates on top. It's

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 5>so sad that all you can eat restaurants through thing

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 5>in the past.

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:02.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I remember as well. I wasn't until I was

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 2>well into being a grown up. I actually went to

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 2>a restaurant that had three courses. I was like, do

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 2>you that sound like a something called a starter? And

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 2>I was like, what's the starter for?

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 6>We all go like pigs to a trough y, we

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 6>eat what we want.

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 2>Starter should order and then even ordering dessert. That never

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.359
<v Speaker 2>happened as a kid, I parents don't have the money

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 2>from me that my dad always gave this accuse. He

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 2>would say, we don't have the time, and it was

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 2>never when we got home. It's like here plenty times,

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>sort of watch TV, watch a big rush to get back.

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Even now on the menu, when I see the kids

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 2>are a wife looking at dessert, part of me still thinks,

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 2>oh you can't.

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 5>It's instinctive.

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I already or desserve just raised that way. There was

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 2>the height of election. Can we can't have? That would

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:50.600
<v Speaker 2>be financially ruined? Who's going to pay for it? Christian

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Connell's show podcast Eighties of the nineties or the letter

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 2>are this hour we're talking about restaurants of the nineties.

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Jack was talking about sizzlers. Now I just found this,

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Well where too for lunch? I know where I want

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 2>to go for lunch. I don't want to spend a lot.

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 3>Of money, not fast food.

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Fast food definitely not fast food. But I don't want

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:15.920

<v Speaker 2>Mistake seafood salad.

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.279
<v Speaker 5>They said one too many times that it wasn't fast food,

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 5>which makes me think it was fast.

0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 2>They were all marketed as that, weren't they fast food restaurants?

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:38.000

<v Speaker 4>from the restaurant.

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:37.160

<v Speaker 2>based and you roll it really thin and he keep

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.400

<v Speaker 2>come on, you know it kin'd of been that exciting

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 2>to go to just a pizza restaurant in the nineties.

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 2>It really was. It was a big, big deal. It

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:18.000
<v Speaker 2>was like Christmas Eve.

0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 5>You had free access to the dessert bar. Can I

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.840
<v Speaker 5>say that again? You ran the soft serve machine yourself?

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Did you? Guys also find that it was very hard tooever,

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 2>get your dad out of the house to go to

0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.760
<v Speaker 2>a restaurant. Why are we think so reluctant to go

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.599
<v Speaker 2>to a restaurant? So I've taken him to the gallows

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 2>and the moe's telling him that a friend of mine

0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 2>had been to the new Chinese restaurant when I grew up.

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 2>My dad just went sounds weird. What do you mean

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 2>not fish and chips or Chinese fish and chips, But

0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.360
<v Speaker 2>it's fish and chips, Chinese fish and chips. What else

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 2>we could there be? Some Tom, please tell them about

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 2>how excited you got as an eight year old.

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 1>So I had my eighth birthday at the Pizza Hut

0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Oi you can eat at Saint Luke's and Auckland, New Zealand.

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>And it was me three mates, my best mate Dan Monroe,

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 1>and we basically went feral when we went in there.

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.800
<v Speaker 2>You would do you ate someone? You're basically in Wonka's place.

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.440
<v Speaker 1>It was a lord of the flies definitely. And and

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I talked to my mum about this and she said

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:22.200
<v Speaker 1>that when we had finished the mains tour, Dan Monroe

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.679
<v Speaker 1>and I grabbed the full veggie pizza which no one

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:25.200
<v Speaker 1>had touched.

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 2>No one ever touched that veggie pizza. It was like

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 2>getting stale there during the day, wasn't it.

0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 1>We stripped the veggie pizza of all the toppings, took

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:34.840
<v Speaker 1>it to the ice cream bar and covered it in

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.319
<v Speaker 1>ice cream to make an ice cream pizza.

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.800
<v Speaker 2>This is an outtake of Willy Wonka, right, And then

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 2>what happened you get thrown out?

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, we tried to eat it all and then obviously

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 1>made ourselves violently sick and we were probably asked to les.

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 2>I've just seen there's a pizza hut, the nearest one

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 2>to us. Do you know there's actually quite a few

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:55.239
<v Speaker 2>pizza It's still going.

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but you go in there. They're the smallies. Don't

0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.959
<v Speaker 5>get tricked by what do you mean? You can't even

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.200
<v Speaker 5>sit in They don't have tape takeaway, so they're just

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:03.600
<v Speaker 5>for the delivery guys.

0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Seeing the one nearest restaurant. There's one in Pranz so

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:06.240

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:16.760

<v Speaker 3>Really?

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.200
