I never heard, first of all, I don't think I've ever heard you say that up top, and then also I've never heard you do it so half-heartedly. Yarg. Yarg, Weigz. This is record number three for me today, so I'm a little on fumes as they say.

We're hanging in there. What else were you recording today? I had a stream in between this. It wasn't Doe Boyz, don't worry about it. Not a record. Okay, I had a stream. It was not a record, but it was still talking into a microphone for a while. Look, it doesn't matter.

My life is easy. I have no cow to complain. I'm just saying that my energy's a little lower. Yarg, is that better? Yarg, yeah, that's better. Yarg. Embarrassing in front of not only this guest, but every guest. It's just, you know, I guess some would put it in hacky territory.

The entire month. Yeah. I think so. Weigz, this is 40, for me, my last few hours of being 30 recording Doe Boyz podcast. We're recording this on Mitch's birthday Eve. Tomorrow you will be turning 40, Apatow style. At the stroke of midnight, I'll be eating a cupcake out of garbage. It's the only thing I remember.

Oh yeah. Wait, that's in the movies, in a cupcake out of the garbage. I remember using the iPad on the shitter. Oh, okay. Johnny Pemberton's like a room service guy. He's funny. That's right. You have a, I was going to say, if you'd stayed in the Pacific time zone, you could

add an extra three hours of 39, but you took a voyage by air galleon back to Quincy, Massachusetts. That's right. I'm in my mom's basement. Yeah. The 40-year-old virgin prophecy coming true at midnight. It's happening Weigz. I'm joining you in the 40s, dude. Congrats.

It's great. I'm having fun. Hey, this episode is brought to you by AARP, am I right Weigz? And Viagra. We've needed that for a good 20 years. What's the point? Weigz. All right.

Hold on. I want to say that every guest this month gets a, they all get a, every guest gets a pilot name, pirate name, oh Jesus. Every guest gets a pirate name. Pirate name. Yes. And Emma, I don't know how annoying this is, but in the episode titles, we're going to put them in there.

Oh, it's not annoying. By the time this comes out, I'm already doing it. Yeah. All right. All right. Great. It's fine. All right.

So this month, I got an update on our past guests. We've had Captain Cranch, Griffin Newman. Excellent. The pirate known only as Patchy Beard, John Hodgman, aka Reluctant John. Very good. And finally, first mate, Evil No Handerson, Eva Anderson. So good. Vampiret's name.

That's a tease for Thursday. That's a great Vampiret's name. That's a tease for Thursday. Eva's our guest for Thursday, when we're talking about pirates dinner adventure, let's just fucking say it. Good. Yeah, we're talking about, which, which we visited on the same day where we had our very special guest today.

That's right, Mitch. And I don't know if he has a pirate name yet, but I'll introduce him, one of the funniest people around. I'll introduce him with his real name from SNL on Saturday morning, All Star Hits, which you can find on Netflix. Kyle Mooney is here. Hi, Kyle. Yarg.

Wow. That's how you do it. Great to be here. We're very happy to have you. Great to have you. Oh, I had such a fun time hanging out with you all. So I'm excited to be here doing the thing. We were, we were elated that you were able to join us.

So that was a blast. It was on the Doe Boys' Dine. It was awesome. It was, it was a great day, which now we should, I should give a, well, I guess I'll talk about that on the. Edit me out, Emma. I guess I'll talk about. Edit you out of the whole episode.

Edit you out of the whole episode. Having you possibly. Okay. Look, that, no, the him saying the first word and then like hiccuping in horror was very funny. I don't know if we want to add that out. I also think people will look at the topic of this episode and figure out what that restaurant is going to be.

Sure. So that, that, so I know going forward is that fully off limits. We're not talking about that experience at all. I, I, I don't think we can talk about that experience, but Kyle, maybe we'll just get a little, a little tidbit from you afterwards that we'll plug into the, the, uh, that episode. We look, we, we, we ate it at a couple of, I mean, he didn't sign up for that. So I'm not sure if he's thrilled by that idea, but yeah, you still get one guest appearance fee.

Sorry. I'll take what I can get. All right. Great. I had lunch with a friend, Adam, Adam, Rog, Rogco Vega, Adam, I don't know how to say it. Say your, your, your middle name there, what you go by, but Rogco, I'm going to talk to him about it. He'll be fine with this.

Uh, and we, uh, and his lovely wife works for the Disney company because if you're in the industry and so he, he hooked us up with Disney land tickets the night before and it ended up going wigs. You said, I will not show up to the park until one PM. So we went down there and Kyle got us reservations for maybe something we're going to do on a later episode. Maybe. And so Kyle was a savior too, um, but there was multiple people who would try to help us

out. Ben Simpson tried to help us out as well and, uh, what's up and Simpson. Thank you, Ben. Thanks for the help buddy. Um, but, uh, but be this to say, Kyle was down to go to, to Disneyland at, at, at kind of a last, last minute moments noticed and we had a, we had, what a, what a great, what a great day it was. You're Kyle, you're a Disney, you're a huge Disney fan.

Is that correct? I do love it. I'm from, I'm from San Diego. So we're close down there to Anaheim. We're probably two hours, maybe hour and a half on a good, on a very good day. So I grew up going old time as a kid and I will say, I think Pirates of the Caribbean might be my favorite ride at Disneyland. I think I certainly can make an argument for it.

Um, but yeah, I go, I go pretty frequently, I'd say it's, it's fucking rad. Are you a, uh, uh, I forget what they've called annual pass holders now. Are you a key holder, a key master? I'm, I'm not currently a key holder as I understand it. I'm too, like I missed whatever opening there was. Like this was probably August, 2021 or something like that. I didn't buy one and then now you can no longer get in. So no, not, not now, but hopefully someday maybe, but I did, I did have a pass back in

the day, but prior to the, to the, right? I signed up like it wasn't even a year until when I had signed up and then the pandemic hit. So like within like maybe seven months of having my Disney pass the pandemic hit. And I don't know if I ever got like, I don't know if they ever, I don't even think they even sent me anything ever. Like it was a thing like it felt kind of, it, it bums me out a little bit, but I think, you know, I think I actually did use it enough that like even for a year's worth, it was,

it was worth it. Kyle, do you have, here's the annoying question. Do you have a pirate's name? I got, I got some half ideas and hearing, hearing the names that you've already collected. You said Hodgeman was patch captain, patchy beard. Yes. AKA reluctant John. Yeah.

Okay. The pirate only known as patchy beard, AKA reluctant John, which is, I guess, does kind of negates his name a little bit, but that's fine. Cause initially I was thinking scruffy beard, but now I don't. That's fully off the table too close. Well, can I pitch you the other one? And then maybe we can, yes. The other John idea would be in honor of the star of the current version of Pirates

the Caribbean, it would be captain snack tarot. Because I do, I do like snacks and my wife does read my tarot occasionally. That's perfect. I love it. Great. I would say that you gave like, we can't help it. I think that we can't really top it or help it in any way. We can't punch it up.

I think it is perfect. You said tarot and I was thinking like tarot root and like, it was like, oh, you snack on tarot root, but I like tarot cards because also that ties in with sort of like the, I feel like there's a sort of pirate mysticism that's, that's not to it. That's akin to hoodoo. Yep. That's what I was all, all part of the plan, Nick. Love it.

Captain snack tarot. Captain snack tarot. Welcome aboard. I'm very excited that you are even saying yard. I was very nervous about anyone we had on and just saying yard. I mean, they're, you know, it's slightly embarrassing, but I got to say this. We started our Disney day off on the water too, Kyle. We, you and I, we got to Pirates of the Caribbean.

We, we met up there and then we, we rode the canoes. That's true. Yeah. So we kind of, we had our, we had our sea legs in place. Yes. And the, the, the, the person who was guiding us, our captain, I guess, on the canoe kept on doing bits and kept on reminding us how slowly we were moving in a way that it became very predictable.

Like every joke was like, here's two things I know. One, that's a moose. Two, you guys got to speed up. I don't know. That's obviously not a, they were better than that. I don't want to undersell what he was doing. No, they were, I mean, they were very good. I don't even know, I don't even know if they were better than that.

They were very, like a lot of the things were like, were like, you guys are going too slow. Like it was, it was like, it was basically just like that we were going slow. He was kind of jacked too. We kind of looked, he had like, kind of like the rock tattoos. Uh, wise you would have liked, I think you would have honestly liked the canoes. Have you ever done them before? I've never done them.

I bet I would have liked them because I like, I like, that's a kind of physical activity that I'd be like, oh, this is fun. You get to get the blood pumping a little bit, you know, because I, there's a lot of standing and sitting at theme parks. Did you, did you, I, I did find that in my arm was like when we went for a stretch before we, so we got, we, so we were trying to get reservations for something. And then while we were on the canoe, we got word that our reservation was ready. And we had 10 minutes to be there.

Um, and so we were like stuck on this boat. We got stuck behind the, uh, the river boat. And also like, he was like making like slow jokes, but I thought, I actually thought canoeing up to the, like around the bend. I was like, Oh my arm, like it is a little, it is kind of the closest thing to a workout at Disney that you'll do. I would say I was also, I was rolling with my non-dominant arm, which made it difficult. And then I will say there is a sense of danger because it seemingly is real.

I, we don't, I don't know. They say there's no track, but could, could anyone topple over? I don't know. It seems like it can happen. If, if, when you, when you pull into like the dock, there's, you're surrounded by dock, there's a little piece where, so basically your canoe is like almost untappable at, at, at topable bowl at that point where you can't really, it feels like you can't, but I feel like if you're out in the water and someone

stood up or whatever, I feel like you could fall in. There is, it is a slight sense of danger. Um, um, I get, speaking of danger, cause you mentioned the, the, the big ship. So, and we are, we are in, in Yark, Dober bar fest. So I, I'm also like, like Kyle, I'm from, I'm, I'm from SoCal, not from, I'm from LA County, not San Diego, although my, my parents and my brother live in San Diego. Uh, and your parents are down in San Diego now.

They're an ocean side. I mean, I should have docked them too closely, but yeah, they're an ocean side, my brother's in San Diego proper. My brother's been in San Diego proper since college. He went to UCSD and just sort of stuck around as a family. He's doing great. Uh, he's an alpha anyway. So I, so because I grew up in SoCal and I grew up in the Long Beach area,

which is very close to Anaheim, uh, I had multiple friends who like worked at Disneyland and, uh, one of them told me a harrowing story that I looked up now, which involved it was a, it was one of the, there's the big sailing ship. And it was a thing that they like, he was like working there at the time this happened, uh, as a teenager. So like he, he was aware of it, but there was a, there was basically like, there was a giant rope fastened to a cleat on the hull of the ship. And the, it was just like so tense that the cleat, uh, like ripped out of the

wood and flew towards the shore or flew, flew to, into the boat. I forget which it, which it, which is which, I think it flew towards the shore because the way I, I heard it told is that it hit a guest in the head. Oh, Jesus. Killed him. Jesus. And they, the Disney park, like, like, like, uh, uh, sanitation, the, the, the custodial staff there, like was, were told to clean up the crime scene.

And they got in a lot of trouble for like, you know, like moving the body and cleaning up the blood or whatever. So at the time he was working there, everyone was just, they were just trying to rear it like, you cannot do that. Like, don't do that. Like if someone gets badly injured, you're just going to leave it alone. They cleaned it up. Like as fast as they clean up vomit, it was just gone and like, three minutes.

Die here. Un, I know now getting away from the waters, but talking about death, sorry, but since you brought it up, um, my step mom, also from the San Diego area, she did her the grad night at Disneyland. So, you know, senior year, graduating, I don't know if you guys did grad night, but they bust up from San Diego and then they, there's some bands that perform. She, uh, there was one of her fellow students who passed away by, I believe

at the time there was this ride, the people mover, which sort of was on a track and took you around different attractions in, in Tomorrowland. Right. But I think he got out of the car and like tried to walk on the track and then was, you know, run into, in some way or another, but like all of the parents waiting for the bus to come back from Anaheim in San Diego, didn't know whose child died. So like everybody, um, was obviously incredibly frightened.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to bring it. I, I don't know, Disneyland deaths are their own thing. I'm just, I'm sorry to bring it up. No, no, no, no, I started it. Uh, I will, I will say the grad nights they do at Disneyland, which my high school did not do, but a lot of high schools did is my understanding is that they'll, they'll, it'll be like, you know, 12 area high schools will all have the same night because it wouldn't make economic sense to just have one high

school at the park for a night. So it'll be a bunch of different high schools. Some parents have their fingers crossed. They have like a shitty kid. I hope he stays on Tom Sawyer Island. Uh, so the, so they, uh, and when I've thought it, when I've heard that and then I thought about that later as an adult, I was like, that's got to be like a nightmare for the park employees.

That's got to be like their most dreaded night of the year, which is like, Hey, we've got like fucking 250, you know, drunk high school seniors, uh, who are just like cutting loose for the last time. Feel like there are no consequences at all. That's just got to be so fucking, so, so fucking harrowing to work there into those circumstances. Absolutely. Yeah.

Uh, I wanted to ask you a little bit about, about, because we have lots more Disney to discuss and we will, but I am curious because you're someone from San Diego, which is also a big theme park town in, in its own right. Uh, you got your sea world down there. You now have your Lego land and there's an adjacent Lego land water park, which I know my niece and nephew liked a frequent. Uh, do you, do you have any, any opinion on any of the San Diego area parks? Yeah.

We also, I mean, like, I don't know, uh, what we consider the San Diego zoo, or I don't even know. Oh, sure. Yeah. When I was growing up, they had what was called the wild animal park, which I feel like has a new name, maybe like some sort of safari situation. Um, but yeah, I definitely, I've not been to any in a while. I definitely love the zoo.

I love, I really like to see a world. I think, you know, when Blackfish came out, that sort of rearranged, uh, way, a lot of us probably think about it, but I have fond memories of, of, of that park, definitely. We also have not, not proper like big theme park, but we have a little amusement area and Belmont and, um, mission beach called Belmont park with rollercoaster growing up, they had like, uh, laser tag and, um, well, Pirate's Cove, which was, uh, sort of like a deep, like a discovery zone style, like

several, like a bunch of slides and stuff. But, um, yeah, no, no park that I still continue to go back to, to be told. I've never been to Legoland. I've been to Legoland as an adult and it's not, it's not a great adult park. Let me just tell you, you got to get to see world post Blackfish. There's no, like the lines are way less. Um, I was going to say there's Pirate Cove's on the East coast. Emma, you know, these, the mini golf, the Pirate Cove's mini golf, which are like,

they do kind of, they, I think they kind of like run mini golf in the, in the Northeast. I mean, I feel like I see a lot of them in New Hampshire. Is it maybe New Hampshire based Emma? I have no idea. It might be. The, the, the Pirate Cove's were, were, were great for very fun mini golf. Um, I've never been to SeaWorld before, but I got a tougher question for you, my man.

Uh-oh. Where's your favorite California burrito? Which spot? You asshole. You couldn't have texted me this before. Damn it. Now everybody in Scripts Ranch is going to be like, Kyle, what the hell are you talking about?

We heard you on Yark Doberfest, dude. Yarg, yarg, Kyle. I guess it would more of be like, hey, um, hey, Kyle, um, what was up with the California burrito stuff on the double? I will, I will give two answers. Uh, my brothers introduced me to this spot that's actually very close to SeaWorld and in the Mission Bay area called JVs. And I think they were probably like, they've been making the California burrito

since, uh, the, certainly the early to mid nineties when I first tried it. And I imagine, um, prior to that as well. Uh, and that's a bit, it's a real big boy. Um, they also do like a surf and turf, you know, a carne asada, all, all, all of the kind of, uh, classics to San Diego. Um, so that one's great, but going back to my home community of Scripps Ranch, uh, is a place called Chili Peppers. Um, there's another, there's, I think a couple, there might be one in like,

you know, I don't know where it is, Rancho Cucamonga or something like that. I don't, I don't want to try to guess. Uh, but yeah, I, that's, that's a favorite California burrito. I, you have to add guacamole, which I, I'm, uh, somebody who feels like that's an essential component. Um, so that's a little bit of a costly thing. You know, you're built, you know, you're building this thing. It gets more and more expensive.

I, I, that's my, the way my friend Randy introduced it to me was adding guacamole as well. Um, but I, so my friend, uh, Randy, um, he, who I went to college with, we, he was a San Diego guy, Encinitas. Nice. And that's in 2005, I had my first California burrito at Juanitas. Yep. Um, by the, you know, Encinitas has the YMCA there.

Sean White used to drive fast through the, the, uh, the parking lot. Uh, that's what that's all he told me about it. But, uh, I like, I fell in love. I had never had it before. And I still, to this day, that version I had was, oh, fuck. That's the chili peppers one. I've, I found a, a pick in the website. The fries look good, which is like, we just talked about fat sals and how an

issue with fat sals is that the fries aren't really good in the sandwich. And it's like, Oh, burrito with fries and it can be really good if the, but the fries do have to be decent. You get like mushy or bad fries. I think it's bad, but Juanitas is always the standard I held it up to. And, and now I, I do go no guac though, Kyle. That is, that's, that's my new thing. Fully fair.

I mean, I actually think the iconic California burrito, I would say has guac and sour cream in it, uh, but most places, uh, I think you'd have to add those additionally, JVs, for instance, all of that comes in there. But I do, I mean, like, not to like, kind of, um, be too prideful on, on my hometown. I do think that like almost any taco shop in San Diego is probably going to have a good burrito, I would say. Uh, Mexican food in San Diego is outstanding. Anytime I've been down there, it's like, it's a basically any place you go.

Yeah. 100%. I, it's, there's tons of great talk areas and tons of great sit down Mexican places. Yeah, I would do as you would expect with it from its proximity to the border. It was, it was funny because there was always a battle. And look, we went to El Farlito and the burritos were great up in San Francisco, but I was like, they were always like, we're better. And I actually do think that you can get a good burrito in LA.

I almost think that it goes the latter of like LA and then, but San Diego is the best, you can't beat San Diego burritos. They are, I think for a burrito, yeah, I, I agree with you. Sorry to cut you off, Mitch. No, I'd rather have a San Diego burrito than a, than a Bay Area. The mission burrito from, from SF. Kyle, do you have a, do you have an LA California burrito that you like? You've been to, I'm sure you've been to Cactus and so on.

You know, I, what I was just going to say and forgive me if it's obvious or if you guys already covered this, but like, yeah, I've always considered San Diego, the burrito town, LA, more of a taco town. And so I tend to go tacos out here. But yeah, we have a, there's a place down the street called taco spot in Eagle Rock that makes a California and it's walking distance from my home. So, so that's somewhere I couldn't even tell you where the best California burrito in LA is.

I will say, I'll add to the burrito conversation. I am sure you guys went into the minutiae of this, but like a lot of folks from San Diego, my family, especially, like there's a big, a lot of controversy in the adding of rice or adding of rice and beans to the burrito and that we're like kind of packing too much in there. The carne asada burrito, for instance, is just so simple. It's just the carne asada, the guacamole and the pico de gallo. Yeah.

Yeah. And that's what like the San Francisco burrito is that like Chipotle, like heavy on rice and beans. But I feel like in LA, you see like cactuses, like it definitely has beans, but a lot of the time no rice. They don't, they won't do, I feel like in LA, you won't get rice at least, but you'll get beans a lot of the time. Yeah, it varies from place to place, but I feel like no rice is the default.

I think I agree with you. And yeah, it wasn't, honestly, it wasn't until, and this is a weird place to experience it, but, you know, we talked about before on the show, Mitch, that the Baja Fresh 15, 20 years ago used to be like a different caliber of restaurant. It was like a nice, like, like, you know, fresh Mexican place before it got bought by Wendy's and, and, you know, turned into the fast food, you know, kind of.

That was like my favorite to me. I ate there like one, at least once a week when I first came to El Baja Fresh was like one of my favorite restaurants. Yeah, I don't know if I've been there, the new version of it. Did you go to the one like by the Amoeba? Cause there was one on Sunset or Hollywood. Yes. I asked, I went to the one on Miracle Mile, uh, across from Peter Griffin

and the gang at Family Guy, uh, the offices. That's awesome. Right across the way. Yeah. Let's go, let's go get, you know, at the end of the day. Whoa, you sound like all of them. Uh, I, I, I really, I loved, I loved Baja Fresh. And then, you know, now it's, then I, of course, for the first time I, I

tried Piquito Moss and Piquito Moss took over for, for Baja Fresh. I love Piquito Moss. It's a different caliber, but you know, like Piquito Moss, I feel like it's kind of closer to what Baja Fresh used to be. Sure. And, you know, for people who are maybe like, like, Hey, I, you know, I live in Texas, we have a Baja Fresh out here. It sucks.

So it's like, yeah, I get that it's, it's something different now. But it used to be a very, anyway, what it was, that, that roundabout, there's a roundabout way of saying that was the first place I would like, I had a burrito that was basically just as Kyle described. They used to have a burrito that was just like, uh, basically a protein, cheese, guac and, and, and Pico or some other salsa. And yeah, and it was just like, Oh, this is just like a pure burrito, but this, this completely works.

You don't need a lot of shit in there. This show is brought to you by BetterHelp. You know, Mitch, I learned something new about myself recently. I learned I can stick to a bedtime routine. Wow. I can go to the bed, I'd bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every day and stick to that because getting to know yourself can be a lifelong process, especially because we're always growing and changing,

especially in recent years. That's right. Like therapy is all about deepening your self-awareness and understanding because sometimes we don't know what we want or why we react the way we do until we talk through things. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist who can take you on that journey of self-discovery from wherever you are. Why is I benefited from therapy in the past?

I think that I'm a better person. I feel better if I have anxiety or stress. It's always good to talk to someone, get the thoughts out there. I think that it's helpful to say what's on your mind and you feel like you've gotten it off your chest and you can go and live your day, if that makes sense. And it's helpful for learning positive coping skills, empowers you to be the best version of yourself, and it isn't just for those who have experienced major trauma.

out great. I have more on that, by the way. You were afraid that things weren't going to work out and I told you it was going to work out and everything did work out, which like- That's what I was going to say. Okay, that's what you brought up. That's what I was going to say. This is the madness that you get driven to working with Mitch as closely as I

do, is that Mitch has like kind of a carefree, and Emma knows this, he's just kind of a carefree sort of like, wait till the last minute, we'll figure it out approach. And the thing is the magic of Mitch, magic Mitch we call him, is that he's usually right, and this was a day where so many times, like I feel like we were all collectively stressed out because Mitch was just saying, it's going to be fine, it's going to work out, we can do it. And every single thing worked out, including up and including Pirate's

Dinner Adventure, which we went to after the park. And that also includes the run up into it, where it's like the night before I was like, is this happening with the fuck is going on? He's like, it's going to be fine. And it was. Hold on a second. This isn't a hundred percent fair because yes, this is the way I do things. But you, before all this happened, I was like trying to get, I was, I was

trying to, I was trying to quarterback. I was trying to take the ball. You know, I was trying to be the guy who was like planning stuff. And then you told me that you had one day in September. Look, we don't have to fight about it. But like I was like, all right, he has his one day and I'll try to get like this thing to work and I'll try to get reservations at this place. I gave you another couple of days and we ended up switching days.

So. Yes. Well, we ended up going on a day where you're like, you're like, I can make this day work. And then we scheduled eat pirates intervention with Eva, but Disneyland park where we're going to go ride Pirates of the Caribbean was sold out. It was sold out for the day, which I didn't know could happen. Yes.

It was, we were, it was sold out and it was pretty packed in there. We all noticed that it was a pretty packed day. Um, and, and, and especially for people in school, it's just kind of as confusing that there were so many like kids and people there. But I guess that's just how it's going to be forever. We were saying that it's just, there's more people in the world. I guess it's just going to be more and more packed as time goes on. But I luckily had lunch with this guy, Adam, who hooked us up with tickets.

And then it, it all worked out. And we got into everything we needed to get into, including. So let's, let's do a rundown of the rides. We can, I can, can I just add one more tidbit please to the magic of it all? Because like, I kind of got the rundown as Mitch was incredibly nice and drove. I drove me down with him, uh, to the park. So like while we were in the parking structure, he's sort of running down all of the things we're aiming to do that, like, as you're saying, weren't

necessarily set up per se. Um, but one of the things was, yeah, essentially, like we've got to get to this dinner. We got to get to pirate's dinner adventure by the end of the night. So like, we'll see what we can fit in before then. Once we get to the park, uh, and this is going to step a little bit on what you were saying, Mitch, if we're going to run down all the rides we got to do. We decided, one of the things we decided we wanted to do was rise of the resistance. But our time was like five, 10 p.m.

And what time did your dinner start? The dinner started at seven. We were supposed to, like the door started at seven. Yeah, supposed to show up at six 30. Yeah. So in theory, you'd have to ride this like 15 minute ride, then like book it all the way across Disneyland, get in the parking tram, travel to the parking structure, then drive to the dinner.

But here's the, which is 15 to 20 minutes away itself. Here's the thing that I was not expecting because we all got to have, uh, we all went on the Incredicoster at about, what, uh, 445 or something? Yeah, almost, almost, almost five. So my, my thought was like, okay, if Mitch is really going to try to go to the ride, to rise of the resistance, we are going to book it through California adventure into Disney to the other end of the park to get to Star Wars land. What I, what I had forgotten about though, Mitch had like briefly mentioned it as like,

oh, this might go down. Was that he ended up throughout that entire, uh, journey hopping on another podcast. So there was no like, uh, rush or hurry seemingly, he was like taking his time talking to the, to these people, while Scott Gairdner and I were like, I, yeah, he's really doing it. But it was impressive. You're guessing on the flagrant ones from Disneyland. I guess on the flagrant ones, chef Kevin told me to still show up. He was, I was like, I'm going to be in Disney.

He's like, you can still do it. And so I, so I call, I called in and I basically just apologize for like 30 minutes. And I did, when we got on rise of the resistance, I did, I did, I did go live with them and I showed them what we were seeing on rise of the resistance, which was very fun. But that, that, that weirdly worked. But you know what, I feel like things like that do work out in Disney. It was a Disney day and Disney days always work out great. No matter what.

So that's kind of what my, where my head was at. I just was like, it's going to, it's going to work out. So the things that I wanted to write, I want to do, I wanted to do the, the, um, haunted mansion holiday because I've never, I, I thought I had never done it. And then I think I maybe did do it. So we wrote the canoes, uh, we, we tried to get reservations at this restaurant, which Kyle got, which was Kyle magic. And then very cool.

And then we went to Pirates of the Caribbean. We walked, we walked over to Pirates of the Caribbean and we wrote that. And it said like, it said that the line was like 40 minutes or something. We got through it pretty quick. And Kyle, I'm, I'm, I'm right there with you. I, I guess we're going to get into it so we can come back to this. But after that, we did haunted mansion. We had a drink at, uh, Carthage, is it Carthage circle?

Is that what it is? Yes. Uh, which was a great, great drinks. The drinks were really good. Uh, and I wish that we got to spend a little more time. We also fit in Star Tours. You mentioned, you know, you miss out on Star Tours. We didn't even have a pass for Star Tours.

We, that was a plus one. You're like, well, let's go to Star Tours and we did it. And then we went over to the fondant on a mansion. So also the, the route we're taking is really circuitous. Like nothing is next to each other. Like we're, we're, we're based, we're at, we're at Pirates. We go all the way over to Star Tours to the other end of the park and tomorrow. And then we go back the direction we were to go to haunted mansion.

And then we go into Disney California adventure. It's a entirely different adjacent park to do the Carthage circle. And then the Incredicoaster and then you're back into Disneyland. As Kyle mentioned for Rise of the Resistance. You left. I went to Rise of the Resistance. You were like, I don't know if it's going to time out and I went Rise of the Resistance and we did it.

I did just about as many rises I wanted to that day, but Kyle, quick breakdown. Were there any highlights of the day? I love haunted mansion. I don't know if I love the holiday re theme of it, but I love the ride in general. And people, you know, speaking of deaths, people, I know like spread ashes there and they're supposed to be like actual ghostly activity. But I think that like pirates and haunted mansion blow me away for good rides that are like 60 years old or whatever.

I think they're both so so good. I love them. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, like highlights would be I definitely enjoyed going on the canoe is good because I'd never done them. But yeah, I agree with you haunted mansion and pirates are excuse the word iconic. Yeah. And in terms of the nightmare before Christmas overlay, cool. I'm glad we did it.

I wouldn't go out of my way to see it. I'm not a Skellington head per se. But it was, you know, nice. It's wild that that at some point, like in the in the late 90s, early 2000s, like nightmare before Christmas just became like a guy. Like you were just a guy who was in the nightmare before Christmas, and that was just your personality. And then you'll see nightmare before Christmas, people like at the

nightmare before Christmas ride. Like just like, oh, wow. Yeah, I guess this is right in your wheelhouse also feels like, yeah, sort of peak hot topic. Sure. 100 percent. Yeah. I feel like there was like a sort of, yeah, maybe like a goth light persona in like that began in like the early aughts or something like that. Yes. Yes.

I feel like people like date Skeleton type of guys. I think the like, I think that there are a lot of Jack Skellington type guys out there. Now, Mike, who are your friends? I'm more of a Mr. Boogity guys playing playing some Skeleton rib cages, like Xylophones or something like that. I gotta tell you, I don't trust the guy.

I think that there is like, there is a little bit of horniness involved with that, too. I like like the Nightmare Before Christmas crowd. I like it. I just think that like the original ride looks so good. And then like you kind of overlay like, like, like it feels like a lot of like cutouts. There's a couple of things of like the dog in the hallway. That's like the ghost dog is cute.

And like Jack, when you come down right before the graveyard, there's like a big Jack Skeleton. But like a lot of it kind of looks like newer and like brighter. And I like I love the Honda Manage is so good as is that it's funny to me that three months of the year, because it starts in, you know, September and then it goes to like into January, right? Like I that ride is so is so good on its own. And I don't think it needs anything else.

But whatever, people love it. And credit coaster is so good. Why is you got really hurt on it? Right? Yeah, I got injured on in credit coaster. I got well, I like I thought like it didn't it didn't bust me in the way that the Simpsons ride did. The Simpsons ride like got like serious back pain. But this one, the the the shoulder harness,

I think was too tight was too taught because I had like lacerations on both deltoid when I when I when I saw myself later. Yeah. So I had like I'd like like like three years later. I took my shirt off and I was looking in a mirror. All right. OK, all right. Yeah, you had a rough because you also bonked your head at the at the tram. The parking tram. Yeah, I hit my head on the tram. And I was like dizzy for like the first two hours I was there.

Yeah, I hit my head. So things worked out magic as you call me magic, Mitch. And then for you, you bonked your head as soon as you got to the tram. And then the seat and then credit coasters was cutting you in credit coaster's great roller coaster, too. That was a lot. That was a great coaster. Yeah. And that's one where, you know, they that's an overlay. It was just what the California was it called?

Yes, Mickey's Screamin. Mickey's journey or something. Oh, yeah, California Screamin. And, you know, I don't hate the incredible, the Incredibles in there and some Jack Jack Jack. Yeah, Jack Jack's going crazy. That's fun. And, you know, like you're chasing through the ride. It's that coaster is is is great.

It's it's it's a lot of fun. And did you did you enjoy Rise of the Resistance? I was saying this, I said it on I'll say my feelings on it on this this coming Thursday episode, but I felt it felt like a big empty Star Wars warehouse to me in a lot of ways. Like I thought the ride was really impressive in in many ways. But also I'm like a part of me wishes that Darth Vader was there and it was old Star Wars and also like I wish it was either more of a ride

or just more of an experience. And it's kind of like in between of the two. But I do think that there's a lot of stuff that's great about it. Like there's a lot of cool things about it. I agree with that. And I'll say that like thinking about Pirates of the Caribbean, I think that it is like a sort of a contemporary version of it to some degree, a ton of animatronics, super long.

But yeah, I unfortunately I did love it. And when I think about it in retrospect, I thought it was really cool. But coming out of it, I maybe expected a little more thrill in a way that was maybe silly of me to even think of. But but it's awesome. And there is like a thrill moment where the cart gets there's there's a lot of great things about it. But there's a there's a moment where like your cart gets locked in

and there's like kind of a drop. And I thought there would maybe be more of a thing there or something. I also don't love like and getting into Pirates of the Caribbean. I love like a dark ride that has animatronics and it just is immersive. And so much stuff with new rides is like is like just, you know, video screens, which kind of sure. Bumps me out a little bit more. Or you have a task. Yes, which also is just like like even

even Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters, which I which I really enjoy. Yeah, but it is like it is a little bit of a different energy from riding a ride. It's just like, oh, I have to try to do well at this task. Yeah, I thought the Millennium Falcon ride stinks. I'm not I am not I'm not a fan of it. And also we got all new Wags. We got all new all sequel Star Wars stuff on Star Tours. We were at the bat with the rise of Skywalker.

What is that battle, the lightning battle? Yes, the the first off, we went to Jakku. We should tell this, Ray, you should tell this, because you were you were seated next to a little girl. I was delighted. I was sitting next to a little girl. I was worried you're going to throw her into a pond by accident, not knowing your strength. And the it was weird that she was just alone, that little girl. She's alone. Yeah, I guess her parents are probably just like,

you're old enough to take care of yourself and let her loose in the park. I was thrilled because she was like, like either she was 10 to 12 or somewhere in there. And I sat next to her, I was like, you ready? You know, I said, like, probably scarter for life. You ready for the ride? Hey, you ready for the ride, little girl? She was like, you know, like, what the fuck? Who the fuck is this guy?

But she let me sit next to Wiger. Actually, wait, no, I'll move back. I was really hoping that you would be the the person we were trying to smuggle Wags. But I would love it. But she was she was like, rake, the rate, they were like, we're going to meet Ray and they bring up Ray, like maybe brought to the side screen and raise up. Oh, that's right. That's who it is.

Right. She comes up on the side screen and she goes, no, not Ray, anyone. But Ray, I hate Ray. She was saying she hated Ray, which I I started to smile like the Grinch. I got a huge smile on my face. I'm like, and we said it afterwards. It's like the character made specifically for you. Yes, like it's made for your demographic. Young girls between like, like, you know, eight to 12 or whatever like that.

It's her demographic. And she was like, I hate Ray. She did like Poe. She was into Poe. Loved Poe. Poe got a huge pop when Poe showed up, the crowd fucking ate it up. Maybe maybe the maybe of the sequels, maybe the character that maybe just stuck with people.

I don't know. Yeah. But we also went through the lightning storm of the rise of Jedi. It was. Yes, we go to you go to Exegol, the final battle of Rise of Skywalker, which is just like is one of those things you show up there and everyone's like, whoo, because we're in a new world and then kind of just a malaise

settled over the crowd because we're like, wait, no, this sucks. And also like this. It was like a whoo. Yeah. This was this was a bad ending. Yeah, it was. Yeah, because also that that space battle doesn't even have like, oh, it's like the trench run or like, oh, it's like the, you know,

the part where the Millennium Falcon shoots out of the flames. It's like it doesn't have anything like that. It's just like ships are flying around and then all the action happens on the ground. Kyle, I so look, we covered all that. We got to talk about the ride, but I want to quickly talk about food because Nick, you and I, we walked by dole whips and I am actually still sad that because when I go to Disney, I want to get I want to get a Coca Cola, which I did. I got a Coca Cola and I want to get a churro just to plant

like the regular cinnamon churro and then I want to get a Dole Whip. Those are like the three things that I want more than anything. And we walked by the Dole Whip and then if a place if the thing didn't work with our reservation, we were going to maybe go to the place next to the Tiki room that sells dole whips. But Kyle, do you have favorite Disney park snacks? Like, do you have like your? Well, also, I mean, like not Disneyland, but Dole Whip.

Makes me think of another Dole Whip product, essentially, that exists in Disney World at the the Polynesian Hotel, which is the spiky pineapple, which essentially is like a drinkable Dole Whip with rum in it. But then you can we went. I went there. I went to Disney World for the first time, probably, you know, three or four years ago or something. And we were staying at the Polynesian. And the bartender at the it's at the Tiki bar.

I don't know what it's called offhand, but he's like, if you really want to have fun before you go into the Magic Kingdom, you can make it extra spiky. And what's that? And they pour Bacardi one of Bacardi 151 floater on top of this Dole Whip. Jesus. And it. Yeah, you'll you'll be seen a couple Mickey's, you know.

But it's it's actually like one of my favorite cocktails in the universe. It's so tasty. That's not bad. The old the old drunk thing is that you would see like flying elephants, right? That's what you would see in Disney. Yeah, anyways. Hmm. That's just dumb. Was it pink elephants? I think it's pink elephants. Yeah, it's pink elephants.

All right, whatever. It's still worked. All right. I have never had that before, but I've I've been at the Polynesian, but I've never and I think they now serve a version at Trader Sam's or maybe the outdoor that what it's called Trader Sam's by Disneyland Hotel. Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm not sure exactly what it's called. It might be Trader Sam's.

There's an indoor and like an outdoor area. And they essentially have, I believe now, a Dole Whip style drink. Not sure you can get an extra spiky, though. I'll have to check someday that that that Trader Sam's is is great. And it has like the like there's a head shrinker drink. And then like your stool will go lower into like there's a couple stools that will go lower into the ground. And there's like thunder and lightning.

There's there's a lot of there's a lot of great stuff. Um, yes, I think it is Trader Sam's. By the way, from from, you know, and this doesn't just correspond with like, oh, I turned 21 and realize this a whole big part of it is it was was before Disney California Adventure opened up. There really weren't any places near Disney that you could like or in Disney proper that you could get a an alcoholic beverage. There was Club 33, which was like the secret hideaway for like the elites.

But that was basically it. And like like drinking at Disney is I feel like it's own thing now. It's like become maybe it was always a thing in Florida. But like, you know, as a kid in SoCal, it always seemed more of a family day than like, oh, adults are going to go and get day drunk. All right, Kyle, one last question. Have you been into Club 33? I got to go via Terran Killum.

Wow. It was awesome. And there's they have like a version in California Adventure sort of within the Carthage Circle area that arguably is even more awesome. It doesn't have the history. But yeah, Nick, I'll just add to what you're saying. Like the drinking compound, I feel like California Adventure sometimes for me, often for me, it's it's like a giant beer garden almost. You know what I mean?

You're collecting a glass of wine or a beer and you're walking in this huge open space, picking off rides when you can. But also just enjoying having a place to to walk and hang with friends and have a drink. Yeah, it's a rat element. I, Kyle, any other Disney snacks specifically? Are you like a turkey leg guy or a churro or pretzel with cheese? Big corn dog.

I love corn dogs, but there's nothing that I go out of my way for. That's fair. Yeah. Sometimes, too, I'll also just get a bite at Downtown Disney. There was this place called Uva Bar, which has some good. They got a, I don't know, like some flatbread type stuff, guacamole. Something, another dish that that's really good. But yeah, no, there's nothing. But typically I'm with somebody who's like, I got to get a churro.

So I'm down with that. I was a big pizza port supporter for at one point where I liked the pizza port.

And not a long wait. I think it's just one of the, it's kind of like, you know, you get like a couple drops, you get like a drop or two and it feels kind of like a little bit, like you get a little small thrill. The thing that's funny to me is, you know, they updated the ride like a few years ago because there was a wife auction, which is, you know, dated and kind of shitty. And then, you know, there's like a couple of other things. But then the funny thing to me is that the ride still closes with Captain

Jack Sparrow. Yes. And he's also, he's walking around the, there's Captain Jack Sparrow is walking around the park. No, still heavy depth. It's heavy on depth. It feels ingrained in its DNA now. Yes.

But the ride, it is, it's, it's, it's so great. I'd like, it just feels like you're going into like a cavernous. It really feels like you're going deep down. You're up, up top. You see people at a restaurant nearby. You see the fireflies, the old man on the dock, just all the whole set up of like this quiet part before the big drop. And then, and then everything you see afterwards before you get to like the

big ship battle is like the, you know, the people dead in there. So there's like kind of like the haunted side of it too. You see people dead in their beds and like other skeletons. Yes. And then the big ship battle. I, I, I love it. I, I, I maybe think it is one of my favorite rides. I love Space Mountain too, but Pirates is like a dark ride.

I don't think it can get better than that. What, what are your thoughts on it? Is this me? Well, why are you still as silent as an animatronic Pirates guy? I thought you were, I thought you were asked through your throwing it. I assumed you were throwing it to our guest. Well, you can jump in too, if you want to. Well, I know, but you just sort of generally put it to the floor.

Okay. Or, but I, but because of that, because I assume you're asking our guests. Sorry. All right. Here we go. All right. To the floor. What are your thoughts?

Uh, so me first, Jesus Christ. Don't you, aren't you a member of like five podcasts? I have one other podcast. Come on. All right. Wags, how about you go first and then we'll get our, we'll, we'll, we'll get our guest's thoughts after that. I'll say this because I'm, I'm with the two of you.

I love this ride. I think it's rad. Uh, I, I, I, you know, I'm, I'm fine with all of its iterations over the years. Like I was a little bit of a skeptic of them integrating the, the. You're fine with the way it was before. Okay. Yeah. It was good.

It used to be good. Now it's still okay. Um, I like Depp a lot. Uh, they, they, I know, even the, I think the thing I was most skeptical of honestly was them, them adding Johnny Depp, because I was like, well, I don't know if it, why does it need to tie in directly with the IP, but it is a really good animatronic, you know, I can at least say that, uh, regardless of the, the problematic, uh, nature of the, the man himself, although whatever

people are saying, people are saying redeemed. I don't know. You see, YouTube channels, people are like, he's back. I was like, all right, sure. I'll trust this source. Unfortunately, we didn't have the live version of Johnny Depp, which I know he's done before. We were hoping that we'd get a live down.

Yeah, that would have been cool. Uh, but, but I, but here, here's part of my, my history with Disneyland is that I was until I hit middle school, I was a big time ride coward. Like I, I went on big thunder mountain twice. I tried it once and I cried and I tried a second time and I cried and I distinctly remember like crying on, on big, big thunder mountain the second time and like ruining the experience of the other people in the car. Cause they just had a whale, like our, our, our train cause they just had a,

they just sort of wailing like child who was terrified, like eight. Jesus. I was a little too old to be having to be that panicked, but I was like freaking out. Um, and also to be clear, you did cry on pirates as well. On this trip this time. Yeah. Cause I missed the wife's auction.

So the, so I, yeah, but, but, but pirates, it had those two drops and I could go down those drops and endure them and feel like a big boy. Cause it was like, all of these drops, they're not actually that scary, but they're pretty scary though. And then just most of it is just a fun sort of journey and it remains one of my favorite rides. I honestly think my favorite ride these days in both parks might be radiator springs, racers, uh, the, the, the cars ride.

It's fucking fantastic. And it's a similar sort of concept where it's like, you know, this dark ride, but then it has this racing component at the end that's just like really well done. Uh, but, but yeah, I like the little amount of thrill plus just like a whole lot of thaming. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I feel like, uh, going to it as a child, like it feels and felt so incredibly immersive and like, I think it's one of the first rides where like I had to do the math of like, where am I relative to the park at large? You know what I mean? Because you're dropping down. And then once you get to the, that big battle scene with the cannonballs, the ceilings are so high and it's, you kind of just have to wonder how, where is this? How does this fit in to everything?

Right. Um, but yeah. And, and I love, I think like if you're into robots, if you like animatronics, this has so many of them. Uh, yeah, I was, I did the light research I did. Mark Davis is, uh, one of the guys who, who this was kind of his project, I think. Uh, and it was, the ride was built while Walt was alive. Um, and he was a, one of Walt's nine old men, like kind of one of these classic

animators who worked on all of the, uh, the most famous Disney feature, uh, features. But like, you can sort of, one, one thing I've always loved about it is the way these characters look, um, you know, you could, there's a, uh, there's a caricature to them. They don't necessarily look super human per se. You know what I mean? There's like, almost like a cartoonist on the beach, like some sort of exaggerated features.

Yeah. Like jo, some of them are jolly, like big cheeks or like a weird, like a shiny chin or something. Yeah. There's a lot of stuff that's great. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, which I just generally love that look.

I mean, the music is, is, is great. And, uh, and, and just the length of it, you know, there's, I think before now there's rise of the resistance, but everything else I imagine clocks in like under, you know, three minutes or two minutes or something like that. And this is, I don't know, nine, 10 minutes, 12 minutes. I have no idea. And the weight is never too, too bad. I feel like you're right.

They, they look like human. They look almost like a Disney cartoon that was never made or something. Yeah. And I feel like they don't really look human either. I mean, they kind of look like me. There's one guy who has two cats, uh, on a part of the ride. And he is like a kind of a chubby guy with two cats that I am. It is pretty close to, I, I took video and pictures of the ride, but they

did not come out great. Um, and we, by the way, Kyle, thank you for doing any research on it. Uh, because Nick and I apparently did no research. I don't know that I told anyone anything new, but you know what? I'm down to be that guy for you. Moving forward. I feel like that point you have about like it being so cavernous and you're like, Oh, this is built partially underground or whatever.

Like this is below ground. It's, it is, it is fascinating. And especially that, that high ceiling moments. And then also we haven't talked about it, but the song, the Yohoh song is so fucking good. The song is really good. That's like, to me, is one of the early zippity-doodle. We had a cat named zip.

We named my cat zip after zippity-doodle, which I know that song of the south is not, uh, you know, it's, it's, it's not, they, they, they kind of have forgotten about that for good reason. Hold on a second. Let me gather my thoughts here. Song of the south is dated and bad, but Zippity, Zippity-doodle is like, they still play that in the parks. And that's like, we heard that down in Disney, but like Yohoh, Yohoh Pirates

Life for me is like another, that is to me is like, like one of the most iconic Disney songs. I love it. I agree. And I think it's, you know, Zippity-doodle, uh, when you wish upon a fall, uh, a star, um, and then there's also like the, uh, uh, yeah, Yohoh, Yohoh, Yohoh, I think those are like the, like songs that I think of as like, oh yeah, those are like the big, those are like big Disney songs.

And I think that the, the, the magic of this one is, you know, you compare it with the, the small world song, which everyone's like, it's annoying and it's an earworm and it gets stuck in your head. But that's, that song is like omnipresent throughout the entire ride. Here they use it just enough and it's also like jaunty enough and has enough variation melodically where it doesn't become just like this repetitive loop. It's just like, every time it comes in, you're like, oh, it's Yohoh, Yohoh. And if you want to sing along, you can.

It's a lot of fun. Yeah, it's great. I will add a piece of, before I forget trivia that was told to me when I, uh, sorry, Bragg was on one of those VIP tours where they sort of, you're with a tour guide who takes you through the park and brings you to the front of the lines, um, that rules, but they said that, so that opening scene, uh, where we're, um, I don't know what would you call that sort of back woodsy, like in a fire flies, Gators.

It feels like Louisiana. I mean, I guess it is in square. So it's like kind of like the bayou, little bit of bayou. I got a little, a little man on the bayou. Yeah. That Gator recognized you. But yeah, you end, the very last moment is with an old man and you hear like some banjo playing and he's, he's at his little, uh, cabin.

Um, but what I was told by this person was that that man, we're essentially going into his memories. So he was somewhat involved in this whole pirate thing. And, and that's what we're experiencing. That's really wild. And now he's retired to the simple life, just being on a porch and a rocking stove, rocking chair with a banjo. How about that?

Yup. He's a little pet Gator that is, I gotta say this too, is like, when you go down there and there's like, you go through kind of the ghostly stuff and you know, there's the, uh, there's just a couple of things of like the, the pirate drinking the, the booze and you see the booze going through his body. And then there's a, this was, I think added later, but the one guy that you go by that, like you see, um, he's a pirate. And then you go by him and you see him kind of come to life.

Like you see his, and I said to you, that's, Hey, pre and post pandemic is the joke I made to you, which you pointed out that it didn't make any sense. And it was backwards, which was true. I still liked it. No, no, no, no, no, the bit I tried, the bit I like kind of mentioned when we were, uh, getting in, uh, at the start of the ride is that like, you, you get to see, uh, people eating at the restaurant blew by you as you're about to launch into the ride.

And I've said this, I know I've heard many people. I, I'm pretty sure I've heard people before say this. So like, whoa, the animatronics are really good here. Yeah, it's a reference to the live people eating lunch. You set it up as like, as like other people that have said this, but I think if you just set it, like I would have been like, Oh, that's really good. Like not with the context of knowing that this was it was an old joke. I think you could have claimed it as your own.

Okay. That's my, that's my note for you is like, you might want to consider stealing more material, but now people will, now, now I want to also give it to, to the world, your listeners to, to do with what they please. That's a, that's a fun thing for, that's a fun thing to use with it. If you're a dad with your family or whatever. Well, I heard one of the people, one of the people at the restaurant at Bluebile look into our boat and see you and say, man, the animatronics

are really good on the boat. That's good. So you see this guy, you know, which I think was added. I guess the thing that was weird to me is that the, didn't there used to be a pirate thing in smoke or is that only at Disney World? Yeah, it was the Bill Nighy, the actor. I don't know what the name of the character is. The kind of like, I think it's David Jones, right?

Is it? Yeah, yeah. The sort of squid-like character was over a mist. Yeah. They got that out of that. Okay, that's gone now. But I guess that was probably new anyways. I think they like tried to add some new things when they added the depth stuff.

But just even when you're going through, you know, when you get to like the cannonball fight and there's like parts of the water, they're exploding. That's so cool. And I love the fact that it's a water ride. And then you look up into like a building and you see like the shadows, sword fighting. And I don't know if that's new or not, but there's like so many in like, you were saying Kyle's just so immersive. There's so many details as you go along that like you could ride it multiple times

and not see things that you haven't seen before. But I mean, look, I don't know if we can rate this. I think we might as well out of. We got to rate it. I'm just going to, I'm going to give it out of out of hook hands, I guess, out of hooks. We'll get it out of hooks. Well, I thought we were doing things out of pieces of eight. Well, no, that's restaurants.

This is different. It's a ride. We did, we rated the fucking movie out of, we rated the movie with Gryffind out of pieces of eight. Emma's nodding. Yeah, that was when the system was born. We rated Buppets Treasure Island. By the way, Kyle, have you seen Buppets Treasure Island?

I don't think I ever have. I thought I thought it was delightful. OK, it's the first first Buppets movie I've ever seen, but I really liked it. It's good. Anyway, now we're the first one out of you. I'm sorry to interrupt you, Wiggs, but that as a child, that was the first one you ever saw as. No, I should have clarified as I'd never seen a Buppets movie

until I saw this day Island for the podcast. Yeah. Oh, cool. We told them that and I really got to watch the Muppet movie. He's never that's one of my favorite classic movies. I'll watch them all. Um, all right. So pieces of eight. Yeah, not out of hooks.

OK, we won't do it out of hooks. We'll do it out of pieces of eight. I mean, it gets it's out of five pieces of eight. Kyle, right, which people thought was I don't. What is a piece of eight? It's a it's a it was a Spanish currency. OK, and it was like it was like eight. It like you have eight pieces and that makes one.

And apparently the the word peso is related to pieces of eight. OK, so pieces of eight. Yeah. But pirates would like piracy would often reference pieces of eight. I feel like it's no longer. It's a currency no longer used, I don't believe. Pieces of eight, I don't think are used anymore. But I don't think we're doing it five.

You can get so the highest score is five out of five pieces of eight, which people are listeners thought I was dumb and not making a joke. But here we go. I mean, it's getting five out of five pieces of eight. It's one of my favorite rides forever. It's the fact that Walt the fact that Walt was alive. Yes, which, by the way, people are giving me a hard time about my birthday. And I want to say this, that tomorrow night,

Gables is taking over for me and like you were making fun of me. You're like, Mitch doesn't work on his birthday. And it's like his birthday month. And tomorrow night, I'm having dinner with my mom and sister for my 40th birthday. And even when I told Gables, even Gables, who grossed me for everything, it was like, oh, yeah, that's normal. That's a normal thing to go have dinner with your fucking family on your birthday.

I didn't say it wasn't normal. They just know that it was funny. Some guy commented, like, Mitch is such a child. It's like, what the fuck? What are you talking about? I'm having dinner with my mom and sister on my 40th birthday. That's not weird. Anyways, look, it's also, Mitch, just to remind you,

this episode is coming out after that. So this will, like, we're recording this before that. I'm just saying, like, it just, you know, it'll be old news by then. Kyle joined me for pizza in a movie on my birthday before I left town. But I missed the movie, but pizza was great. Yeah. But why? So you were you weren't there, right? You were what happened?

No, we had to wait. Natalie and I have date night on Sunday nights. So we're we're doing that. All right, that's fair. Anyways, piece of shit. I bet you went alone. I went to I went to get dinner by myself instead of going out with my wife or going to your birthday.

I think so. That's what it was laid back. It was just to get together. Yeah, five out of five pieces of eight. I like it is crazy to hear that. Walt was alive while this was happening. And I do wish more modern rides are like. Like, you know, just just just a dark ride like that is just so magical

and immersive and obviously, like, at the time, spent so much money and time and care on it. You know, like, that's that's that's the thing of like, I'm sure like the guys who made the Millennium Falcon ride, it obviously was like a lot of planning and stuff. But I'm just like, it can't even touch Pirates of the Caribbean. And it I would love more like immersive dark rides like that where there's full animatronics.

I think it's expensive, obviously. And I think it's a lot of time and planning. But I wish that you saw more stuff like that now. And it's it is it is right up there with my favorite rides. And I love it, five perfect, a perfect ride. Yeah, I'll also give it five out of five pieces of eight. I will say. The the regarding piece of eight, I just I I I looked it up on Wikipedia.

The Spanish dollar, I'm just reading this verbatim. The Spanish dollar also knows the piece of eight. A real deal. My mama's my mama's my mama's poking her head in. So hi, Mrs. Mitchell. Mama Mitchell. Hey, there you go. Great son.

We love your son. Kyle says great son, Ma. Kyle and Nick and Emma say great son. They all said. Oh, thank you. Thank you. She's she's kind of hijacking the podcast like a pirate. She is. She's she's I'll be up in a few minutes.

The dinner is about to be ready. So OK. What's what can I get? And Mrs. Mitchell, what's for dinner? Hey, Ma, they want to know what's for dinner. A kind of chicken parmesan. Hmm, fun.

A weirder kind of chicken parmesan. Sounds good. Mitch sent over a picture of your a photograph of your stew and it looked delicious. I sent over I sent over a picture of your Irish Guinness stew. And Nick said it looked delicious. Oh, the picture of the food itself. Yeah. The recipe.

There's the picture of the food. Oh, OK, good. She she she wants me to make it when I go back west, right, Ma? You're going to make it. I'm going to make it for Wags. All right. OK, we'll see if it's easy. Bye, Ma. I love you.

See you, Mrs. Mitchell. Enjoy the birthday dinner. Dude, I am going to fucking yell at her. Don't do that. The Spanish dollar was at Real de Ahocho. It was a it was a it was worth eight Spanish reales. And it was basically the the currency of Spain. As it looks like almost up until the euro.

So, you know, what what they called, you know, the real or the peso was was fundamentally the pieces of eight. And it was became associated with piracy via Treasure Island as most pirate tropes. They had the pieces of eight in there. And so that's where that comes from. But yeah, five out of five pieces of eight. Perfect ride.

No notes. I had a blast. And I want to ride to a little bit. It's a water ride that's got a couple of drops. Kyle, we'll throw it over to you. Yep. Five out of five. Agree. I don't think we even touched upon it. I was just thinking about the smell.

They're such a specific. I feel like for me, already so many great things said about this ride, but it typifies the best of what Disney is. And it's the best version of those like fantasy land, dark rides. And I would I would say, like, if you want to experience something that to me feels like. If you had to, if you had to choose one ride

that is so specifically Disneyland, Walt Disney specific or whatever, this would be the ride I would choose. Yeah, I just nodded my head emphatically because that's a fantastic point. It's it's like, yeah, this is this is basically Disney in a nutshell. Yeah. And also, it's kind of fun if you get a little splash. Well, you're not going to get wet, but you can get a little little sprinkle of water on you.

You know, you laugh at that. It's fun if you get like a little bit of wet on the ride. Not too wet, not soaked. You're not going to need a towel. It's great. And also shout out to my other doppelganger on the ride, the guy with the little piglets. That's also he's also good to you. You know who I love with the the the tableau I love.

And they reference it in the first Pirates movie. But there's every time we get to the the prisoners trying to lure the dog who's got the key chain, I'm just like, that's such a good joke. It's so good. And and like the way that the the robots are animated is so good. And put into the movie, too. Yes. Yeah, put in the movie. I love that. I loved that part the same as a kid. And I remember my girlfriend in high school,

her now stepdad at the time was her mom's boyfriend, went to see the movie before us and was like, there's going to be a there's a part of the movie I think you guys are going to like. Referencing the dog with the keys. And it's like, OK, shit, I got the dog with the keys in there. Yeah, it's like just enough fans. Like if they made it these days for the first time, they'd put in too much fan service for the ride.

But like back then, it was like, here's one little thing. And then the rest is kind of its own story. Kyle, thank you so much for joining us. I do before you go. And I'm spending your day in Disney, too. Thank you for your time. Oh, thank you for it was so awesome, guys, truly. Thank you for having me.

I had a blast. Great hanging out. Great talking with you today. I did want to get your thoughts. And Emma, you can bleep out me saying this or bleep out the restaurant. So we'll have that still be be hidden, although people have probably figured it out. Can we get your thoughts and your fork score real quick?

I'm sorry, fork score. Your pieces of eight score out of five out of five pieces of eight. Any any thoughts on quick thoughts on on. And hey, we'll talk about that in more depth at the end of the month. Kyle, thank you for being here. And like, look, when I get mad at Disney for stuff, this is like the Disney I love.

And I can't believe, like I said, that Walt was that the Walt was alive. This is like, you know, 60 year old ride. But an honor to have you have you come with us. Is there anything that you'd like to plug? You know, I've got we got this show Saturday morning, all star hits on Netflix that I made with Scott Gardner, who who was hanging out with us on our Disney day. And if you haven't checked that out, that would be awesome.

But Briggsby Bear, the movie I made a few years ago is some I don't know. Well, you can I'm sure buy it on Amazon or so rent it rather. But yeah, no, that's that's it. Definitely check out Saturday morning, all star hits. And I was going to say also just regarding that for for Doughboys fans. Chris Van Arts, Dalen also, yeah, had a hand in that show, our artist. So I had passed past gas. Great, dude. Yeah. And great show.

Check that out. He did that. He did he did the art for this month's which he always does. He did the art for this month as well. He did. Yeah, he does. He does all our does all our art and so check it out. And hey, look, we talked about the song a lot. It's iconic again to to use the word Kyle used. But but Yoho, Yoho, a pirate's life for me.

I feel like we just got out. There's there's no other way to end the episode. By the way, I just want to just want. So here we go. Let's play. Yo, Yoho, Yoho, Yoho. Yarg, Yarg. Here you go. Landlubbers. See ya.

Hey, baby, I hear the blues are calling toss salads and scrambled eggs. White style. And maybe I seem a bit confused. Wait, this is an M. Maybe. But I got your bag. But I don't know what to do with those tall salads and scrambled eggs.

They're calling again. Scrambled eggs all over my face. What is the boy to do? Frazier has left the building. Yarg. Yarg. Want more doughboys? Check out the DoughScored, our Discord server. You get DoughScored access plus the DoughBoys double
