The McDonalds from the 1989 video seemed so warm and inviting. It's a place where you would actually dine, instead of a glorified convenience store. The workers also seemed happy too. Hard to believe it's the same exact McDonalds.

It is amazing how quickly the years go by. I was 12 in 1989, about your age, I suppose. Yet, from 1989, it just seems to have gone so quickly. Like you get bogged down in finishing middle school, finishing high school, finishing college, establishing a career, finding a woman to marry, going through the dating, the engagement, the wedding, followed by more working in a monotonous job, along with raising children, that it just goes by without you really much figuring that you are over halfway finished with your life. I am now 45, but when I was 42 and the doctor said I was getting old, it seemed surreal. I guess the gray beard, baldness, aches and pains and less agility prove it, but it doesn't seem like it should be this soon. Just looking at your mom then, who was like almost ten years younger than I am now, and seeing that she is now 70, it puts into perspective just how short life really is. Cherish the time with your mom. Both of my parents have passed and I wish I could spend more time with them.

I do prefer that time. The world is so evil now. I think we are in the end times. The governments have been taken over by principalities of evil. I much prefer the music, shows, movies, etc. of the 90s to today. Nearly every pop song I get an earful of sounds like crap. The crap the young adults listen to and like sounds awful, void of using instruments. No real talent, just a mass produced pile of dung. It is why I don't listen to it. I have heard of maybe five good pop songs in the past five years, and that is it. Country is deteriorating as a genre, too, though the rot set in at a later time than it did with pop. Rock is hardly even given airtime, and what I do hear is subpar to the stuff of the 80s and 90s. People used to make fun of groups like Nelson, but honestly, they sound ten times better than anything you hear today. Bon Jovi, Firehouse, etc were all superior to what we have today. Today's music is becoming increasingly garbage. One genre is good, Christian praise and worship, and along with the good message, the talent is far superior to those in pop.

Keep your immune system strong going in through winter. My brother is a diabetic and nearly died from covid last year in December, but that could have been avoided if the corrupt hospital would have treated him properly with antibiotics and steroids when he first went in. They let it go on for like another week till he was at a point of near death. Thankfully, God pulled him through, and we saw a miracle after I sent out a mass call for prayer. Vitamin D and Vitamin C are really important. I'm prediabetic, so I also need to watch what I eat better than I do. I also had covid, "delta variant", and I was sick for about two months.

Cute video. In 1989 I was 24. Today I am 58 and I remember how McDonald’s looked like back then. How time flies. Thanks for this video. It’s good to have friends that stick around for a long time.

This is really wholesome, going back to a place years later that’s existed for probably your whole lifetime will just bring you back. I just don’t understand why McDonald’s has to remove the text McDonald’s from the sign and make the restaurant so colorless.

That made me tear up when she said “I feel like I’m visiting with y’all and it buys me another week” 🥲bless her heart.

The girl at the counter in 1989: 😃 The girl at the counter in 2022: 🤨

I'm a '94 baby so a bit late to the party but would have loved to have grown up in the 80s. Glad you guys got the chance to go together again

The fact that they put a time limit on how long you can sit and eat your food is crazy

Very impressive re-creation of so many scenes on-the-fly. Nostalgia and fun at the same time. And all the protagonists are still alive. Big thanks to your mom whose spirit is as lively and young as she was back then for being part of this video.

Nice that you all remained close over 33 years. Mom is cool.

I wasn't even born in the 80s (born in 92) but I could easily tell the last two epic decades were the 80s and the 90s. The 2000s is when everything started to take a turn for the worst! An irreversible turn for the worst I must say, thanks to the internet, smart phones and social media!

Happy Birthday to your mom! I never would have guessed she was 70 if she hadn't mentioned the year she was born!

Every now and then I stumble on a gem of a channel like this, and it makes my day.

Your mom is such a sweetheart! "Can we order from the human please?" She seems so lovely, you boys are blessed! 😃

Omg thanks for the nostalgia! I was 12 in 1989 and this brought back so many memories, the hair, the metal band tshirts, Bill & Ted….LOL 😍

I was 12, best time of my life growing in that time until the 90's, it will never be the same. Cartoon Saturdays and Disney Sunday's, only Channel 2, 5 or 8 lol. 🇨🇦

In 2006, McDonald's had the renovation that you see now in all their restaurants called "Forever Young" to be appealing to older customers like us. The older McDonald's that you saw int the 80's was a Ray Kroc design that was implemented in 1968. So by the 1990's when you saw the bright yellow roofs and red paint it was just a band aid before the redesigns that you see today were going to be implemented.

Here in Phoenix the same McDonalds exists down the street from me, built in 1979 (44 years ago). Also not far away is the same city swimming pool "Madison Pool" that I swam in, in 1963 (60 years ago). I was six years old.

Incredible. Can’t wait to see you again in 33 years. Enjoy

We love this SO much!! Your mom is a sweetie. I don’t like ordering from a screen either, ugh. Take me back to good old 1989!

„Can we order from a human, please!" This could easily be a slogan on a t-shirt ;-) or instead of „we" simply „i"
