So whenever a celebrity collabs with a venue, a product, or some other service or whatever, and they charge you like $10 more or whatever, a premium, because it's that celebrity put their name on it, Don't believe the hype.

very East Coast place.
Amanda Lehan-CantoHOST
15:51
What's Friendly's?
Anthony PadillaGUEST

Yeah, I haven't heard of that.
Amanda Lehan-CantoHOST
15:57
Okay, so she pioneered it.
Scott WeinbergGUEST
3:45
What could take the place of malls? Where else could you get lunch at the Woolworth's lunch counter? and then go to the arcade, and then go to the aforementioned B.
Scott WeinbergGUEST
3:55
Dalton's, and browse through the books, and then go to Spencer's and look at some racy novelty items, and then maybe you get an ice cream at Friendly's, and then you go see a movie, and then you'd call your mom or your dad or another guardian type to come pick your ass up.
Scott WeinbergGUEST
4:13
It was, you know... really fun
Brian SalisburyHOST
4:16

Scott WeinbergGUEST

In Philly, there were the kiosks in the middle of them, you know, the down the center part of the mall where they would have a hot, big, soft, big, hot, soft pretzels are a big deal here in Philly.
Scott WeinbergGUEST
66:16
Um, So they had those, obviously Annie Ann's, Annie Ice Cream, Baskin Robbins, Ann Friendly's, and then later, much later, Cold Stone.
Scott WeinbergGUEST
66:31
Yeah, there was just like the beauty of getting yourself not only just a meal in the middle of your shopping excursion, but it was almost always fast food or pizza.
Tyler MeckesHOST

Right.
Tyler MeckesHOST

Matt VerderameHOST
38:34
Growing up on the East Coast, there's a place, there's an ice cream place.
Matt VerderameHOST
38:36
It's called Friendly's, okay? It is very, very, very much like Culver's.
Tucker FranklinHOST
38:40
Okay.
Matt VerderameHOST
38:40
It is the East Coast version of Culver's, right? 'Cause you can get like a, a chicken sandwich or a burger there too, whatever, but it's known for the ice cream, whereas obviously Culver- Culver's is the main thing over at Culver's.
Matt VerderameHOST
38:52
And for a long time when I was in high school, and by a long t- I'm thinking probably, I'm guessing, a year, two years, something like that, they had this promotion at Friendly's where you could get a 12-scoop ice cream sundae called the Crowd Pleaser.
Matt VerderameHOST
39:06
Now, initially it was the idea was, hey, like six of you have ...
Matt VerderameHOST
39:10

Matt VerderameHOST
40:39

Corey MachGUEST
8:01

Alan SealesHOST
8:13
[laughs]
Corey MachGUEST
8:13
It's just, like, not... that's not something you wanna, like, steer someone in the direction of, you know?
Alan SealesHOST
8:18

Corey MachGUEST
8:20
Friendly's?
Alan SealesHOST
8:21
Yeah.
Corey MachGUEST
8:21
I don't know why I said Friendly's.
JasonHOST
39:46
Those are the first things that come to mind right now.
JasonHOST
39:50
I would probably travel through a couple of states to get to a Friendly's ice cream place.
JasonHOST
39:56
I don't think I remember ever having it, so I would like to try it.
JeffHOST
39:59
I would say don't bother because it's not owned by the same company.
JeffHOST
40:06
