0:05.9	David, are you fancy like Applebee's on a date night?
0:10.5	I hope so. Let's go, Kula. Let's go.
0:13.3	Today we're debriefing your conversation with John Payton, who is the CEO of Dine Brands, which is Applebee's, IHop, and Fuzzy's Taco Shop. I'm so excited to talk to you
0:24.1	about your conversation with John because he leads these nostalgic, iconic brands that have
