  • 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,270 I want to talk today about Hooters.

  • 00:00:05,292 --> 00:00:07,750 I know what you're thinking-- oh, that silly Ellen is going

  • to trick us and show us a cute web video of some owls,

  • because she said Hooters.

  • No.

  • You don't know me.

  • No.

  • Today, I'm going to talk about boobies.

  • Although if you have a cute owl video,

  • send it to me, because I love owls and I love cute videos.

  • But here's the headline that I want to talk about, right here.

  • Hooters Forced To Close Restaurants

  • Because Millennials Aren't That Into Breasts Anymore.

  • 00:00:32,634 --> 00:00:34,300 For some reason, the millennials are not

  • into the ta-tas, or the jugs, the knockers, the headlights,

  • the honk-honks, the Smothers Brothers.

  • I don't know what they're called these days.

  • Anyway, this is really bad news for Hooters.

  • It's terrible news for Dolly Parton.

  • Really.

  • 00:00:50,590 --> 00:00:52,180 According to the article, millennials

  • are less interested in breasts than older people.

  • So Hooters announced a plan for closing more stores.

  • So they're going to put a giant bra around them

  • and men won't be able to get them open.

  • Because they can't--

  • 00:01:07,679 --> 00:01:09,220 I did some research, and it turns out

  • Hooters has been having problems for a while.

  • I made a chart of their business over the years.

  • It really was up, down, and then up again.

  • 00:01:24,342 --> 00:01:26,550 I thought if I leaned it would make the joke funnier.

  • 00:01:29,330 --> 00:01:31,090 That's not a real chart.

  • To be fair, Hooters says they've tried everything.

  • Except for changing the waitresses' uniforms

  • and making better food.

  • But that's what they--

  • but this is just an idea.

  • Maybe it is possible the guys could

  • have their meals without a side of female objectification.

  • Maybe.

  • I don't know.

  • Or maybe-- maybe women have more to offer than short shorts

  • and jalapeno poppers.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,270 I want to talk today about Hooters.
