Just three months later, on March 18, 1967, Disneyland simultaneously debuted Walt's final theme park brain children, Pirates of the Caribbean, an indoor or dark water ride that took passengers on a swashbuckling adventure cursed with dark mysticism, and within
Starting point is 00:01:43 the same building, the park's first fine dining restaurant. While the ride recreated cannon battles in the briny deep and pirate plundering of coastal villages, later retrofitted mute problematic elements, the accompanying eatery was an immersive simulacrum of a tranquil Gulf Coast evening, complete with cricket sound effects and dots of light meant to signify fireflies. The dark ride's layout meant that passenger-filled Pirates of the Caribbean boats encircled and even plunged beneath the restaurant's dining room. Over the years, the menu has evolved to embrace contemporary white tablecloth trends like seasonal locally sourced produce, though one item from its 1967 iteration remains, the deep-fried Monte Cristo sandwich for parkgoers with
Starting point is 00:02:23 constitutions as brave as a buccaneer. Today, with locations at the original Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland and a similar beach-based lagoon concept in Disneyland Paris, this progenitor of in-park fine dining continues to feed hungry patrons of the foresight to reserve a table months in advance via the inscrutable Genie Plus app. And while it's no longer the only game in town for a fancy meal on Disneyland grounds, it remains the one spot where you can have a bite down at the Bayou. This week on Doughboys, Yark Doughbar Chest, a month of pirate-themed eating, drinking, and revelry, concludes with Blue Bayou. A vast ye mateys and set sail for Doughboys, the podcast about pirate chain restaurants.
Starting point is 00:03:29 I'm the dread podcaster Nick Weiger, along with my shipmate, Captain of the High Sneeze, the spoon dog Mike Mitchell, Yark. Did you call me shitmate? Yark. Did you call me shitmate? Yark. I said shipmate. I normally say first mate, but then you said the roast was captain, and so I was like, well, I'll audible to shipmate. I didn't say shitmate. You think I say shipmate? I think you said shipmate. I said shipmate. Roll the tape. Play back the tape. I said shipmate. Land ho. Instead of outie ho. That's what I do now. And also, one more thing. Doughboys podcast, here we come. Very good. Will hook reference? No. That's not from hook.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Is that from hook? Doughboys podcast, here we come. Is that from hook? The movie hook? No. What's that from? It's not from hook? It's from the fucking Super Mario movie, you god damn it. Oh, the trailer? The new one? The impression of Chris Pratt's impression of... The impression of Chris Pratt's line. I was trying to search for what pirate reference is that, not connected to piracy at all. It's just a trailer that came out recently. I don't remember Chris Pratt's line from that at all. I just remember his, you know, his read is very jarring because it does not sound like the Charles Martinet Mario that we're familiar with. But I just think about that penguin set piece,
Starting point is 00:05:13 because that's such an illuminations wheelhouse that the penguins versus Koopas with Jack Black's Bowser is like, this is fucking great. Maybe I'll take all this that you got. I'm just going to say, former guest and my boy, Chris Pratt, doing Mario. He's going to do Mario, my boy. He's got Mario, my boy. He's got Mario squared away. You guys go to church together, right? What's that? You guys go to church together? Nothing wrong with that, you piece of shit. I agree. This is a Christian podcast. God stinks. Fuck off. Oh my god. The Doughboy should embrace atheism. I'm going to unsubscribe to the Patreon unless the Doughboys
Starting point is 00:06:00 renounce God. We like God, okay? Pratt's my boy and he listens to every episode since he's been on, so you're fucking up right now. By the way, that was the Emmy sent that roast in. Emmy says, PS former CBS page always makes me smile to hear about Mitch's page days. So there you go, another CBS page program alum roastspoominatgmail.com. Wow. I wonder when she was in the program. We definitely didn't overlap. I saw the end of Bob Barker. Yes, Bob Barker, the former Price's right host. Sad news wise, it appears Angela Lansbury has listened to the podcast. She passed away. This is how I'm learning of Angela Lansbury's death.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Wow. Weigur, that reaction. Was that from the Megan trailer? There we go. That's timely. Thank you, Jason. There we go. Thank you. My mom used to love watching it. My mom, my grandma used to love watching Angela Lansbury. It's crazy to me that like, it was like, oh, the old grandma show where she's the detective that my grandma watched and she's just passed away today. God bless her. Good life. Long career. Shouldn't have listened to the pod. All right. Let's get into things. What? Mitch, we're at world's end here. This is the end of the month. This is the end of Yark Dobar Chest. And what a bang we've started with. Yodo, Yodo.
Starting point is 00:07:27 An impression that you had no idea what the fuck I was talking about. I broke your heart about Angela Lansbury, apparently. I don't know. It just, it was weird. It was weird to learn it like that. You find out weird things in different ways. I don't know what to say. You find sad things out in weird ways sometimes. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, I know. But anyways, you know how I found out about 9-11? The episode of SNL. I had no idea. I turned on to watch SNL. Yeah. And then one of the cast members was dressed up as Giuliani playing Halleluy on
Starting point is 00:08:08 piano. This is really weird. Am I really delayed or am I just bombing really bad? Something, someone is delayed. There's a delay going on at some end. I'm hearing a delay. Wait, let's figure this out, Mitch. All right, here we go. I'll say one, two, three, Mitch, and then you reply immediately. Okay. Okay. All right, here we go. So after I say Mitch, you just say like, hey or something. Okay. Okay. One, two, three, Mitch.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Mitch. Oh, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. Yep. Oh, so I'm bombing. It's got to be the stream yard. Surely it's the stream yard. You confused a lot of us. Like I think that was what was going on is that we were just like trying to figure out what your game was up top. Oh, the Doe Boys podcast here we come. I thought you would just know that already at this point. I thought that it would be, the impression was really good. There's a lot of things. Anyways, yarr, is this better wigs? I'm the pirate talk. Yarr, Mitch. The last episode of Yark Doberchess. Yarr, here it is.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Yarr, Yodo, Yodo, a pirate's bite for me. We hear it world's end and you know what, Mitch? Spoon men eat no kale. We already did all of these over and over again. That's right. You are the Cabin Boy Spoonty Jones as we've established. I still do not have my pirate name. You need a pirate name and you're going to figure that out. We're going to figure that out before the end of the month. It's in the month is ending. Yes. The end of this, the end of this episode will be end of the month. So I got to figure it out before this episode's end.
Starting point is 00:09:40 You got to, you best figure it out. Everyone's, and look, even the, even our guests today have, they all, they all got a, they all got, they all got nicknames already. They're good to go. You don't, you don't got shit. Wow. Well, we're going to get to that, Mitch. I think you need to play Ye Olde Drop. I know I got, I know I got to play a drop. You know, we almost went to, I did pitch for the podcast for this month. Arby's. I did pitch that. Yeah. And you, you said no. And then we did pirates booty as a mainline episode instead. I think a better topic, at least it's pirate themed. We got to, we got to break down everything because it was a tumultuous.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Like the way this all worked was kind of crazy. But first let's hit these landlubbers with a drop. Yeah. Wiggy. Jesus Christ. This fucking sucks. It's a chubby season. Fucking didn't know my Mario reference got mad at me because I told you Angela Lansbury died. Fuck off. And you got 9-11 in there too. You've pecked a lot into less than 10 minutes. Here we go. Here's a little drop. A vest. I be the dread podcaster Nick Weigar. Yard. Along with my first mate, the Spoon Man, Mike Mitchell. Yardy ho, wives. Yard. Blow me down, landlubber. Yard. Release the Kraken. Walk the plague. Yard. Raise the Jolly Rancher.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Yard. Yard. Yard. Blow me down, landlubber. Yard. Raise the Jolly Rancher. Landlubber. Release the Kraken. Release the crackers. And jeez. You know what sucks is that I was just about to say, release the crackers. And I, we had already fucking done it. We did everything. Yeah, there's only so many variants. It's the perfect, it's the perfect month. That's all I gotta say. It's been perfect. Ask and you shall receive boys with a Z. That's from Cole. I'll say your last name, Cole. Y'all are a pirate drop for me. That's the, that's the title of the email. Very good. Anyways, what do you want? Do you want more 9-11
Starting point is 00:12:14 jokes? What the fuck do you want out of me? Let's introduce our guests. I think a lot of people, if they were listening to this episode for the first time, like they were like, you know, because there's every, every episode of Doe Boys, someone is listening to this podcast for the first time. So if this was their introduction to Doe Boys, they might be saying, whoa, what is this place? That works. Everyone knows that. Doe Boys podcast, here we come. I can't, I can't tell you how good that was. It's perfect. It just was in context at what, it didn't seem pirate themed. Like I was confused.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Yeah, that was for sure a Megan reference. Now I know that trailer like the back of my hand. Jason, I just watched the Megan trailer right before this. Why, I'm sorry I told you about Angela Lansbury that way. May she rest in peace. Great actress. Yeah. Let's introduce our guests. The hosts of podcast, the ride are here. This is, what a great introduction. So, and we mourn the death of esteemed, and now three guys, the three new Angela Lansbury's we got here today. Here's the thing. We wanted to, for this final episode of Yarked Doe Bar Chest. There's a crossover that somehow has not happened over the course of both of our podcast runs,
Starting point is 00:13:40 although we have intermingled on each other's podcasts. We've guested on each other's podcasts. There's never been both Doe Boys on PTR. There's never been all the PTR triforce all assembled on Doe Boys until today. The host of podcast, the rider here, Mike Carlson, Scott Gardner, Jason Sheridan, Boys, Boys, Boys. Wow. Thank you. We're here. Hey, y'all, drink up me Doe Boys, yo-ho. Wow. There, we're in the spirit to quote the ride a little bit. Doe Mantel No Tales. That's good. I think you guys said before this started PTR, which was good. Yeah, that's very good. Which might be our collective pirate name. You tasked us to come up with that. I'd say it's that, or this is clunkier, but on the last couple of minutes I had plundercast the rum Yibisikan.
Starting point is 00:14:41 That's really good. So, big take your choice. Clunkier the better on this podcast. I think so. I said pirates the ride, which is basically is a ride anyway, so it also works though. These are all good. While we're on this topic, you all have been individually tasked with coming up with your own pirate names. You've done so. Do you want to go down the list, Jason, Scott, Carlson? What pirate names have you chosen for each of you? Oh, sure. Yeah, I went with Captain Jason Barbosa. Very good. I showed up in the room late because I was in an entirely different meeting room software. Yes. He didn't even know the assignment and he still just did I just yes ended those sharp comedic instincts owned by time and thousands of dollars of money.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Jason was in the stream yard waiting to join the Joe Rogan podcast for some weird reason. It's also weirdly pirate month on Joe Rogan's podcast. Yeah, it is. He is real. We should do some fucking pirate shit. That'd be fucking random, dude. Oh my god, Angela Lansbury died. Oh, fuck. Fuck. Let's all light up a tasty Cuban cigar in her honor. Smoking indoors, smoking in the recording studio, famously no windows in audio recording studios. Jordan Peterson learns of the news on air and cries for 35 minutes straight. More, cries more. He was already crying. Yeah, he was crying already. Oh, by the way, she was fucking fine when she was younger. I don't know what Joe Rogan sounds like.
Starting point is 00:16:25 I like that voice. Like that. Just like that. It was too much energy. He's like a third of that. He's like teetering asleep at all times. Yeah. Head size is perfect, though. No notes on that. Proportional. Pretty hot, pretty sexy. I'm fucking playing to silence, getting fucking roasted left and right. You're doing great. Everyone loves you. Fucking bullshit. Carlson, what's your name? Announce your pirate name. My name is Michael Will Turner, Carlson. That's very good. That's good. So that's very good. For my Halloween name on The Simpsons, I did Michael and in parentheses, October 31st and Mitchell. And my parents got mad.
Starting point is 00:17:15 I was like, I have a Halloween name. Yeah, it was meta. Michael, October 31st, Mitchell. That's kind of funny. And because everyone does like, you know, it's like bat-graining and like, you know, like whatever. Scary sheer or Simon or whatever. Yes. And so I did Michael, October 31st, Mitchell and then my mom and dad were like, why don't you do like a scary name? Like what did you do? And I was like, I thought it was fucking funny. You got something on The Simpsons and your parents were disappointed. Playing to silence fucking, I guess all the time. I've never realized it to my fucking parents. Oh, it's just a lag. It's just a lag. Don't worry about that. It's the lag then. Maybe it was. Yeah, maybe it was.
Starting point is 00:18:04 We're at world's end. It's that giant whirlpool, that giant constantly swirling whirlpool, you know? Selman, who has been on the podcast before, will be on the podcast again real soon. But we went to a, you know, it's been very nice to us and animated us as a, like an Easter egg on The Simpsons. There's no voices, but there's just drawings of me and Mitch in The Simpsons episode. To be clear, he did not, he animated us. We're not, he didn't draw us as Easter eggs just to make people. No, yes. We are in there as metaphorical Easter eggs. Like if you're like an eagle-eyed podcast fan and you're like, oh, they're at the rest, the podcast restaurant. Oh, look, it's the Doe Boys are standing there. Which is funny to think that we'd be allowed in that,
Starting point is 00:18:50 like restaurant anyways. Yes. Which would not happen. No, 100%. Yeah, we're not getting past security. Marin's in there, not us. But anyway, but we set the pic, like I set the screencap to my family and the only reaction I got similar to Mitch's October 31st was, they really gave you a beard, didn't they? Because they drew me with a bigger beard. Yeah, I did have a big beard. Guy can dream, can't I? So we can't even make our parents happy or laugh? No. This is what we've done with our lives. This is our fate. I'm sorry for you guys. I'm sure all of our parents will grasp and understand the honor of being on the Doe Boys podcast. I'm sure
Starting point is 00:19:38 my mom will get it. I love it. She gets podcasts in general, for sure. And then this one's been no struggle there. My name, speaking of beards, I just, I think you already got a beard in there with Hajman, but I wanted to celebrate, you know, I'm a big wine drinker and I was, this is the first time I got to have wine at the restaurant we're talking about today. So that's why I am Savignon Blanc Beard. That's good. Wow. It's really good. Yeah, that's really good. Obviously, we'll get into probably rum at some point and island drinks, but let's start, let's talk a little wine. As a wine head, what do they call, because wine-o is like the pejorative, if you're like a wine drunk or a wine-o, what do you call someone who's like really into wine?
Starting point is 00:20:25 Is there like a vineyard, a sort of enthusiast term? Yeah, vineyard viney. Do you have vineyard viney? I'm a real vineyard viney. That's a real vineyard viney. Yeah, and that gives you permission to kind of like, you know, New York it up with everything, like top me off. Oh, the fucking Tannins in this thing. Hey! What a varietal! God, I don't know. I mean, like, that's the thing. I'm so not intellectually into it. And then if there's any situation where I'm supposed to like, announce flavors that I'm tasting, I am absolutely terrible at that. At this point, it's just, you know, my wife and I are just,
Starting point is 00:21:10 we're just wine parents. We're wine, we're wine mom and wine dad. So that's a type we fit into, but if they're, I hope they're, I mean, a fish and auto maybe would be the word. I hope there's something less offensive than whinoe, but if that's what you have to call me, then so be it. So as a vineyard viney, as a whinoe, as a grape ape. Oh, yeah, that's good. Approved. What about barrel boy? Barrel boy is good. Barrel boy is really good. Barrel boy is very good. There's a Jimmy Buffett song called the whinoe, I know. Does that's when you hear that? Do you think of me? Yes. You know, I did listen to a pirate looks at 40 on my birthday because I was turning 40.
Starting point is 00:22:00 During pirate month, that's crazy. It's very, it all, it all, it all lined up. It all lined up. I'm going to say a whinoe is a good name for a dough boys listener because they fucking. The dough boys are trivializing alcoholism by making these whinoe jokes. God, Jesus Christ. Shut the fuck up. You know what? Walk the fucking plank. That's how I do it. Fuckin' dorks. So as a wine fan, as a barrel boy, what do you like to consume? You're solving you on Blanc is in your name. Is that your favorite varietal? You work the best for beer, but I'm a Chardonnay guy for sure. And yeah, that's the most relaxing. And hey, if in some sort of live environment, if I can end up with half a glass
Starting point is 00:22:55 of Chardonnay as we're performing or whatever the task is, I'm in heaven. Just give me that little bit, just a little bit of buzz. Take that edge off. That's like a three ounce pour. Are you Chardonnay or Chardonnay? Oh, I'm Chardonnay. Yeah, I like a Chardonnay. Yeah, maybe like an oak Chardonnay can be nice. But on the white side, I will oftentimes go with like a Pinot Grigio. I kind of like that one. But I'm curious about the... Let's talk reds a little bit, because it seems like you tend more towards whites. But do you ever mess around with the red wine? Yeah, I'll do Cabernet Sauvignon. I'll do like... I guess I tend to like if if Cherry is mentioned as a... I think I like a Cherish Cab and a
Starting point is 00:23:48 Apples Chardonnay, which is what they had at the restaurant, which I was very excited about. And I think Disney actually picks them well. Disney has advanced the wine love and the Chardonnay love big time. They pick them real good there. That's fascinating. Yeah, Scott, would you want to shout out like a famous Disney actor legend who has a specific wine that you like? Well, that's a great... That's a fun thing about it. They keep their wines in the family. So one of them being Fess Parker. That might be my favorite wine is Fess Parker Chardonnay. That's the actor who played Davy Crockett. Wow. And yeah, he's got a winery, which is really nice. And it's sideways. It's like the scene where Paul Giamatti freaks out and pours the like refuse can all over
Starting point is 00:24:39 himself. And it's presented as a shitty winery in the movie that he would like Dane to go and waste his time there. But it's actually very good. And I joined a member of the club, in fact, and you got the little cap, little Coonskin cap on the label. Wow. But then I also really like... And this is what I did when I went to the fancy, to Club 33, the fancy Disneyland bar that Kurt Russell and Goldie Han do wine that I think is called Goji. And supposedly, Kurt Russell dips the bottles of the wine in wax himself. Or that was just a photo op he did one time and he doesn't ever actually do that shit. But it is possible while you're drinking. Take that wax off, just like Maker's Mark, which is a cool thing to do. That's a relaxing thing
Starting point is 00:25:29 to do. But Kurt Russell might have dipped that wax himself. You better look out that Madame Tussaud isn't behind. I'm going to push him in. I've needed a Kurt. I don't want to spend the money. Is your Kurt Russell moving? I think I just heard him cry for help. Is it the audio delay again? By the way, Fest Parker, it looks like he listened to Doe Boys because he passed away. Oh no. Is this a new running joke or a joke as of today? It's a joke as of today. And also, are you serious? That's how I'm going to find out
Starting point is 00:26:19 that Fest Parker passed away. Are you serious? We're already so bummed. This is such a huge crock of a day. Angela Lansbury, they suspect foul play. The Angela Lansbury was today. So I guess that it is late. I mean, it's late over here. I just figured that he had heard and I knew this was releasing later. So I didn't know that he didn't know why. It's not a big deal. It was just like we had to, it was just jarring to find out that way. It's not a big deal. It's fine. She had a great career, long life. You don't need to apologize. Weiger feels nothing inside. So it's fine. He doesn't care. You tell him anybody dies. It doesn't
Starting point is 00:27:04 matter. Hey, Mitch died. Oh no, buddy. The same reaction. This is how I find out Mitch dies. Go to record my podcast. He's not here. Mitch is half an hour fucking late. What's going on? Carlson, Jason, either of you like a glass of wine or do you have other libations you prefer? I like wine. I don't, I'll drink whatever. It doesn't matter to me. I like a wine better than a red. But I would, if red is in front, I'm going for it. I like more of, I like, here's what I like. I like one drink that has rainbow colors in it to start out, whatever it is. It doesn't matter what the liquor is. If it's the most colorful, nonsense sugar drink with, it doesn't even really have to have alcohol as we've covered on my podcast.
Starting point is 00:28:03 But I want like, there's a thing called a Mickey's Fun Wheel. You can get it Disney's California Adventure, which is like all the colors of the carousel or excuse me, the Ferris Wheel. I like one of those. And then switching to like a beer or like a whiskey or a bourbon is like the way to go. That's a smart move. Yeah, we talked about that a little bit with the sloppy boys on a recent Patreon episode where those tiki drinks, those sugary drinks can sneak up on you because oftentimes it'll be more potent than you realize. I know you were saying that, you were saying the opposite, you're fine with a low alcohol one, but I'll find myself like, I can't do more than one or two of those. Then I got to switch to beer or something or wine.
Starting point is 00:28:43 I'm looking at the Mickey's Fun Wheel. It looks like an absolute hoot. Oh, it is a hoot. No, it is a hoot for sure. I was, I went to the Patriots game and then look at that bad boy. Look at that colorful, fantastic. And I had, I've been drinking ciders and then I went to, I had a surprise party on Sunday night after the Patriots game. So I was fucked up walking into my own surprise party. And I was like, Frailbot was like, what do you want? I was like, ciders and he cut me off of ciders. He's like, you've been drinking ciders all day, no more ciders. So Frailbot shut me down on ciders, but I think I can do like a party. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:29:26 I mean, he was right. I think that you can only drink like, you know, how many ciders can you drink in a day? Four, five, maybe, you know what I mean? What's he concerned about? Sugar is the problem. Yeah. Sugar is a problem. I mean, how much worse is it than beer? I don't really know, but I love a tiki drink, but once you go over two, you get into the three territory, you're in trouble. And you know what? That's exactly how many I had on the day that we wanted to do. Wow. We'll get to that in one second. Before we do, Jason, your preference, you like a wine, you like a cocktail, you like a brew dog. I love a glass of Chardonnay, sure. Or Scott said, cherry. I love cherry. We were together and we drank so recently. I can drink like
Starting point is 00:30:17 one glass of wine or one beer or like three heart seltzers and anything else gives me a headache or acid reflux nowadays. Jason, you are, and I started out you on the podcast, you can have two drinks and that's it. Yeah, I was always pretty little. I think when we all about started doing like, you know, improv and go in comedy clubs a lot, I think that was my highest tolerance, like right after college. And it's just shot down over the years. There's an early podcast, the ride where I believe I call you out because you were running late because it was your birthday the night before and you had had three beers over six hours and it devastated you. I mean, that's possible. I feel like I don't drink that many. I feel like I was drinking like
Starting point is 00:31:06 vodka sodas and that was why it was like in such bad shape. I'll go back and listen. I know what episode it is, so I'll see if I'm right or not. But that's, you know, that's Jason in 2017. That's completely where I'm at in 2022. You just got there first, but that's probably a lot of us. Jason did not have a child and he still does not have a child, but he was drinking like he had a child. Yeah, I get the vapors a lot. But my favorite drinking podcast, the ride moment in our history was going to, I have to say, going to Bubba Gump with the great Eve Anderson. Oh, I thought this was a different one. No, my favorite with you, because you spoke of like, it doesn't matter if there's alcohol or not. At Bubba Gump at City Walk, Mike is in love with this cocktail he is
Starting point is 00:31:58 drinking. Just like, oh my God, this, like making the, you have to try this is incredible. This is the best, I think it's the best drink I've ever had. It's unbelievable. And it's this kind of like red slushy thing. Orders another one, getting a little like, he's swaying around a little bit. He keeps thinking, well, you were, I don't, that's how I remember it. You were excited. I was having a good time, yes. And then on the ride home, because I drove you back, and you were, you kept the cup, it was a souvenir cup, and there's like sugar crystals, and you're licking the rim. You were like, I look over as I'm driving, and you're like, so you are like beyond in love with this drink. As soon as our subsequent podcast recording
Starting point is 00:32:37 happened, we realized mid episode, this was a non-alcoholic drink. You got placebo effect drunk. It was non-alcoholic? Yeah, non-alcoholic. I just was so excited. The sugar was so, it tasted so good. I didn't even care. It didn't matter. Wow. It was the, it was the enthusiasm about it. So I think the liquor, I think the liquor holds back your like adult milkshakes from what you. Probably true. What you want them to be. I thought you were going to say your favorite moment when our podcast about liquor was when Jason railed against a certain beer. And then yelled. Because it costs a dollar more than he wants because there's grapefruit in it, yes. Yeah. And then said the phrase. I was complaining about the like per unit cost of
Starting point is 00:33:24 a ballast point beer compared to like other fine craft brewers. But what was your, Jason, say the line you said. Say it. Say it. Say it. Say it. Because we kept asking about the grapefruit. No, we kept asking about the grapefruit, and you were getting frustrated with us, and you exploded in a rage. I said, I think I said, I don't give a shit about grapefruit. Or I don't give a fuck about grapefruit. Who gives a shit about grapefruit? Yeah. Yeah. An iconic line, which I think you should embrace and use as a catchphrase. Yeah. That should be merch. Yeah. We don't have merch of that. All right, level two merch. You kind of have to monetize these things. Yeah, that's true. It's crazy how much we're all alike.
Starting point is 00:34:07 We're fucking losers. I was looking, I just, I just zoomed in on the Zapruder film. Uh-huh. And JFK was listening to Doe Boys. This is how I find out. What was your HW Bush listening? 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.

Because getting to know yourself can be a lifelong process, especially because we're always growing and changing, especially in recent
Starting point is 00:35:04 years. That's right, likes. 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. While I've 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

Welcome back to Doughboys. We're here with the host of Podcast the Ride, Mike Carlson, Scott Gairdner, Jason Sheridan, discussing this week's chain as we close out Yark Doughbar Chest. Yodo, Yodo, a pirate spider for me. Blue Bayou, which opened at Disneyland on March 18, 1967. It is a restaurant, a full-service, fine-dining restaurant that is inside the same
Starting point is 00:38:37 building as the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, if you're not familiar with the park. So you can watch people getting on the ride and going through the beginning area, and if you're in the ride, you can look over and see this restaurant and be, oh, what's that place and have some curiosity about it. There's one detail I wanted to share before we open up the discussion is, and Mitch, I think you'll like this, there was a defunct Disney MMO called Virtual Magic Kingdom, and there was a Blue Bayou inside Virtual Magic Kingdom. Carlson is nodding along, I'm sure our guests are aware of this property. The waiter in the Blue Bayou, Mitch, in the MMO,
Starting point is 00:39:18 was a gator named Gator Waiter. Wow. This is huge. Gator Waiter. This is like straight out of the bayou. There's a little bit of a bayou, a little bit of a bayou story we got going on now. Yeah. Down in the bayou, a gator might be your waiter, and a crawdad might be your home's husband. Yeah, real dad. There we go. Thank you. Did Kevin Spacey from House of Cards just join the... Oh, Frank, don't think about passing a bill through the Senate. It's a lot like trying
Starting point is 00:40:04 to feed a crawdad to a gator. And a merry Christmas to all of you out there watching as well. Bring back the videos. Let us watch the videos. We love the videos, the Christmas tradition, Lights, Camera, Jackson's DVD song, and Kevin Spacey's weird apology. Let me be frank. What is happening to Christmas? They're taking it all away. We don't have LCJ, we don't have... Nobody's letting Kevin be Frank, not even himself. Let him be Frank. No collaborations between those two, though. I have never been into the blue bayou. I've never eaten inside this restaurant before. Look, let me just roast... Can I just lay into you for a few minutes here?
Starting point is 00:41:02 What do you normally do on this show? Usually don't ask for permission, so go for it. You... All right, so when this all started, I was like, Yark Dober Chest. We've been trying to do this for four years. Let's do Yark Dober Chest. And you were like, sure, but I got one rule. It's to go to Pirates Dinner Adventure and Disneyland all in one day. I'm going to do it in one day. Yes. Okay. I think that's reasonable. I didn't want to go all... I want to go down there twice. It's a long haul, and I don't like to drive. I looked at my test. It was like September 8th, maybe. I asked you what day does your...
Starting point is 00:41:40 What day in September works for you? You gave me one day in September. Ultimately, I ended up expanding that. It's sure. All right. You gave me one day in September. I think it was September 23rd. And I said, one day, yeah, I'm busy, buddy. I can't do the other days. I was like, all right. If you need an entire day, because I have shit that are like... Yeah, this is like a 90-minute podcast guest appearance I've got scheduled, but it's like part of the day. So, yeah, I don't have a full fucking day. First of all, you're full of shit. Just shut the fuck up for five seconds.
Starting point is 00:42:11 I'm not full of shit. I'll share my calendar with you. I don't want to see that shit. See how you have fucking jacking off listed for two hours during your day. That's the reason you can't come down. Look, Mitch, it's important to do self-care. And they say the best way to do it is to block out portions of the day. Jason, so look, it's fine. I was like, all right, I'm going to get... But when you're trying to schedule things with wigs, I want to make sure that you're okay with it. I was trying to figure this out. Yes. I was trying to get the days to work. And you said that you needed a reservation
Starting point is 00:42:48 to Blue Bayou to go down there. And I was like, I'm not going to be able to get it. It's just as impossible to get. And that is one thing about this restaurant. It's very... If you're trying to make a reservation on the app, which by the way, we'll get to that app, because we can talk about the app too. The app fucking sucks now. And we... So look, we got a lot of people to thank. Benjamin Simpson, Ben, thank you. Thank you. You used all your connections to try to get us into Disney. I was working on getting us down there. It was the night before and you said, why? You said, let's just try to do it next week. You got a new day available.
Starting point is 00:43:26 And then this all worked out with the PTR guys. We were going to even bring Jen D'Angelo at one point and try to promote her hocus pocus too. She has a message at the end of the podcast. I'm going to play for you. Wow. But basically the day before we went, I had lunch with this guy, Adam. And his name is Adam Roko Vega. I don't know how to... His middle name is Ukrainian. And he says that he... He told me he just wants to laugh at my attempt at pronouncing it. So... Rocko. Roko. Rocko. I heard you do all of... You said this on the double and you've made no progress in the interview.
Starting point is 00:44:09 He's the second beat of this. He's still laughing right now. He... So, how do you spell the middle name? R-O-J-K-A. R-O-J-K... Oh, R-O-J-K-O. Sorry. R-O-J-K-O. It could also be like a saying in that J or not. Could be Roko. Roko. It's probably Roku. It's Roku. Okay. Adam Roku Vega.
Starting point is 00:44:37 And he said, my wife works for Disney. He got us Disney tickets because we had already planned on going down there to go to Pirate Center Adventure, but the Disney tickets were sold out. Wags, you planned the day. Which I did not know that could happen. I didn't know you could... Let's talk to the PDR guys. I didn't realize you could sell out... Like Disney's land just sells out. Like, did that used to happen? No.
Starting point is 00:44:59 No. It's confusing. It's like... It's a mess down there lately. And even today, as we're recording this, they just announced like, oh, now there's seven pricing tiers and everything's 9% more expensive. It's been kind of awful lately. You've been punished lately to be a Disney fan. But yeah, you have to get reservations in advance just for the park itself, let alone for the restaurants and the kind of the in-demand restaurants, such as Blue Bayou, they recommend 60 days out just to put that timetable on it. For the thing that... And now as we're hearing it, Mitch is attempting to do
Starting point is 00:45:33 the night before, just kind of on the day of. I mean, we tried everything. Jason told me a website to use. Carlson told me a Facebook group that I could join. Can I... Mitch, can I bring this up? You went through all of us separately before you've been inviting us under this episode. This is in hindsight is one of the strangest things. You could have put us on a group. Multiple days of you asking just me about how to do this,
Starting point is 00:46:00 and I gave you a couple of things, and then all of a sudden you go, hey, what's Jason Sheridan's number? And I go, oh, okay, yeah, here's Jason. And then you grilled him for a few days about the same thing as if my information wasn't good. Because if Jason was going to give you more better information. Let me clarify. Mitch texted me at 11 o'clock on a Thursday night and was like, how do I get in the blue by you tomorrow? Yeah, but he had been talking to me for days before this, texting me for days. And this evening, by the way, he had not invited us on the show yet.
Starting point is 00:46:30 We weren't invited. So here's the deal, Mitch. You were all coming on the show in some way or another. We knew with this, look, this isn't any offense, but we knew with a stupid dumb idea like Yark Dobar, our chest, when it's a pirate-themed idea, we had to get the boys on. We had to get you guys on here. This is right at PTR's wheelhouse.
Starting point is 00:46:51 We got to get you guys on here. I'm not offended that we weren't invited even. When you were saying blue by you, I wasn't like, oh, I'm upset we wouldn't be on this episode. I was just saying that it just seems like pure chaos for multiple days. I want to know this is thick. Yes. Did you think you would have- It was chaos.
Starting point is 00:47:04 You're bumping out a baby over here. Jason's giving me all this information over here. It's insane. But here's my question. Here's my question. Did you feel bad questioning me for like three days in a row, so you needed to jump to Jason because you felt like you were bothering me? Actually, the answer is kind of yes.
Starting point is 00:47:21 I mean, I was looking for any help I could get, trying to make this specific day that Weiger said he wanted to work. And the only thing I didn't have was a blue by you reservation. That was the only thing that didn't work. Okay. Right. So I just want to know, were you now trying to bother me, or were you unhappy with what I had given you?
Starting point is 00:47:38 That's what I'm asking. No, no, no. I was not on it. Your information was great. Okay. I was just trying to get this reservation, which why? Because you did change it and you said that you would go down without a reservation.
Starting point is 00:47:49 And I was saying, it's going to work, baby. It's all going to work out, baby. This is yes. First off, let me roast you just a little bit, and then I'm going to give you some credit. The roast is, the reason we had to go in September is because once again, for your birthday month, you're back in Quincy, Massachusetts.
Starting point is 00:48:06 This is such bullshit. So we could have had more availability in October, but you were like, no, we got to do it in September because I'm going back to Quincy. And I got to have like two birthday parties at a wedding. I left four weeks later. I mean, Quincy for two weeks. I understand.
Starting point is 00:48:22 I had to month later. Yes. Okay. But that is an issue. That is part of the reason we had to schedule it earlier. I did end up making more time. All right. So you could have given me your one day free in October.
Starting point is 00:48:32 I've got my calendar up because I wanted to confirm. And yes, the one day I had free was the day I gave you. I did end up moving a different record so I could go on a different day, which is when we ended up going, and we also did Pirate's Dinner Adventure, did it all in one day. So that's me.
Starting point is 00:48:46 That's just a little bit of pushback, but the credit I want to give you Mitch is, and this is the madness of Mitch. The three of you, I have no doubt encountered this in some form. Emma's encountered it a lot. And Emma's maybe encountered it more than anyone. I've encountered it a lot.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Emma and I get along. Leave us alone. Leave us out. Everyone here likes you, Mitch, but it is a little bit chaotic to collaborate with you because you leave things to the last minute and your attitude is always like, it's going to be fine. It's going to work out.
Starting point is 00:49:15 And as I said in the Kyle Mooney episode, where we talked about the Pirate's Ride, this was one of those days where Magic Mitch was in effect and you kept saying, it's going to be fine. It's all going to work out. Everyone else is a little uneasy. Like, are you sure? All right.
Starting point is 00:49:29 And then it all worked out. It just all worked out. Every single thing fell into place. I couldn't believe it. I could not believe it. I was shocked, honestly. I need it. Why?
Starting point is 00:49:40 Because I need you to okay it. That's the hold up a lot of the time. I can't get you're okay. You scare me. Next year, we're booking October and August. That's my plan. That will never happen. We're so...
Starting point is 00:49:53 Oh, I'll try. I'll try. It won't happen, but I'll try. Both of us are very lazy is the other issue. And we don't want to do it. But I also want to say this because this will... Because now everyone's like, oh, Mitch, you fucked up. I was trying to make this thing work.
Starting point is 00:50:08 But I'm going to say this. They do a lot of work, yes. And you don't think it worked. And I said this. I was like, all right, we're going down to Disney tomorrow. Kyle Mooney's joining us. Scott Geartner's joining us. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:50:20 What a crew. What a gang. Oh, yeah, what a crew. What a gang we got going. I'm going to be over at... I'm going to get over at Blue Bayou by the time it opens. And then it opens at 11. Which you did not do.
Starting point is 00:50:34 Well, to me, I was there in the 11 o'clock hour. It wasn't far. It definitely wasn't far, yes. And it ended up not mattering because of the magic of Mitch. But that's what I didn't know at the time. Yes. If I could sidebar for a second. I have text for Mitch from 2019 when we took him to Galaxy's Edge.
Starting point is 00:50:56 So I don't know how you lost one of her in a way that nothing is... We were texting each other pictures from that day. So I had it. I had your number. Jason, look, you were a lot of help. Carlson was a lot of help. But in the end, it was just my magic that worked. Actually, it's not even my magic.
Starting point is 00:51:20 We'll get that in a second. But why? Because I said, I'm going to show up there. I'm going to be outside the restaurant around 11 when it opens. And you go, that's too early. I'm going to show up around one. This is what you said to me. You said you're going to show up around one on top of everything.
Starting point is 00:51:35 I don't want to give a full day. We're just fucking ridiculous. We don't have reservations this place. But Kyle, it was the magic Mooney is the one who got it for us. Kyle Mooney. Yeah, I'm being magic Mooney. I just wanted to insert here just to volley on the wiger side. I think it's interesting how much effort and finagling and pleading
Starting point is 00:51:55 it takes to get you to come do a fun day of rides. So much effort went into just come ride rides with me. There's a roller coaster. It goes upside. Carlson probably knows this too of me working on this for probably two weeks and failing miserably. But Scott, you and Kyle, your magic. We got a reservation popped up on Kyle's phone.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Yeah, what it ended up being was like there was all right, we had narrowed it down to, okay, again, 60 days in advance seems to be how you have to do this thing. But maybe you could try your luck at just walking up and talking to a person or you can get on a mobile wait list, which is something that Mike was pushing and had figured out despite not coming down himself. So I was like, let me try both. I will ask a person and they just said you might want to get on that mobile wait list. And I tried the mobile wait list and nothing happened.
Starting point is 00:52:45 So I felt a little defeated. I was like, well, I don't know if this is happening. But I was a little trusting of Mitch because you had said in text threads, don't worry, I'll work my magic, which is now where I have to ask. In this case, if it hadn't worked out and we hadn't pulled the res, what would it have been to work your magic? It would have been very pathetic. I would have begged and said it's my 40th birthday.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Please, please let me in. That's what I would have been like. It's my 40th birthday. I know this is pathetic. Please let me into this restaurant. My coworker is going to be mad at me. We got a real Bert Wunderstote over here. I probably would have been like asked to leave.
Starting point is 00:53:32 It would have been, they would have taken pity on me and let me in. But we didn't have to worry about that because Kyle, a reservation popped up and we had an hour from when that reservation was, which was. The reservation popped up at about 11.30, I believe. Yeah. And so it was going to be in an hour. And at this point, the timeline was that Weigar was on track to maybe arrive at one. So things are looking a little grim in terms of Weigar's participation in this.
Starting point is 00:54:04 We were like, hey, a half an hour after, you know, like we'll sit down and he's going to be there within a half an hour, that's good. We go to ride the canoes. We get an alert within 15 to 20 minutes while we're on the canoe ride, which I've never done before, which I don't know. Which is just, we did an episode about it and you guys talked about it with Kyle on the double, but it's, you know, in a way, isn't a ride. It just is a literal canoe that you have to, the guests paddle themselves.
Starting point is 00:54:31 And you talked about this with Kyle, that you're getting roasted the entire time for how slow you are and bad you are, like the guests get roasted. And then we're caught behind the big boat, the Mark Twain, which is very slow moving and lumbering. And that's right when we get the alert and like, uh-oh, then we probably cannot be late for this thing. So in addition to the rides already slow, now we're behind the slow boat. The guy is saying, wow, this is like the slowest I've ever seen the boat.
Starting point is 00:55:01 It's going to be a while, guys. It was a fucking, it was a disaster. We had a 10 minute window and we got there basically right at the 10 minute window. And they were like, Hey, you said table for four, there's only three of you. Do you want to like stick around and wait and maybe get a table later? Or do you, or do you want to go in with the three? And I said, just through the three. Cause I said, fuck wise, I'll get to, and then I did get to go boxes.
Starting point is 00:55:29 I got a bunch of to go boxes, but we'll get into that when we talk about the meal. We got to talk about the app at Disneyland. It fucking sucks now. Well, it's never been that good. It's never been that good, but it's even more confusing than ever. And you got to buy a genie day and, and, and, and look, we had a, we had a, we had a great time at the parks. We did, we did haunted mansion.
Starting point is 00:55:50 We did the canoes. Like I said, we did star tours. We just walked up and did star tours. The rise of the resistance. With all JJ. It was entirely JJ material and stuff. I'll see what it was and stuff. So Jack Hoon.
Starting point is 00:56:03 And then you went to Exigl. We went to Exigl. We went to Exigl. Yeah. With a visit from Poe Dameron in between. And I was thinking like, oh, we can do star tours. This'll be great because they sometimes have prequel stuff. And that will be great for Mitch.
Starting point is 00:56:17 And then entirely new me. I didn't even know they were still running it. I thought they'd retired that three years ago. Mitch's blood pressure was shot through the roof. He was so angry. Mitch cried out the dead speak. That's just so distressed. Constance, the little girl sitting next to me hated Ray.
Starting point is 00:56:39 She went, oh no, not Ray. Anyone but Ray. She hated Ray. What? Is there really a little girl that was sitting there? Who are you imagining? Wager? This is true.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Fully true. 100% happened. Wow. Made Mitch's day. He was walking on clouds the rest of the day. So happy this little girl rejected Ray, the character made for her. They tried to adopt her.
Starting point is 00:56:59 Yeah. Rise of the Resistance. I was saying, I don't know what your guy's thoughts on her, but we should hear it quickly. But I think, because we got to talk about the restaurant. We got to talk about the Blue Bayou. Yeah. We got to talk in the ride.
Starting point is 00:57:11 But I think Rise of the Resistance feels a little bit like an empty Star Wars where. Hey, hey, listen, we just did a long episode where I said that I think the Transformers ride at Universal is better than Ray. I think I'm putting the thought out there that Transformers ride is better than Rise of the Resistance because it's more.
Starting point is 00:57:30 It actually fulfills the promise of a Transformers ride more than Rise of the Resistance fulfills a Star Wars ride. And in this episode, this was kind of like a, I feel like kind of a wrestling heel move on Mike's part. And yet it did make me genuinely. This guy was mad at me during the episode. You know, like how you guys are mad at each other every minute of every episode.
Starting point is 00:57:51 This was just temporary thing on one of our episodes. I got to be a dope boy. Yeah, I was swearing more. Really upset. A lot of chardonnay after that, calm it down. Look, I don't, you know what's interesting? I, seeing it through your eyes, because you and Kyle hadn't done it,
Starting point is 00:58:05 and I could sort of feel like you weren't like super in love with it. And you're right. It is like minimal spaces, big spaces. You get to see big stuff. It's big ad-ats. And you know, you're exploring all these hangers. It's always worked for me.
Starting point is 00:58:20 I feel like Jason's a fan of it. But there's, I, yeah, maybe Mitch and Mike are lined up that it's lacking some heart or thrill or something. I think I said, yeah. I said the two things, yeah, the thrill. First of all, if they just like, transformers are like, fucks you right up. You get jostled.
Starting point is 00:58:36 They're beating the shit out of you. If they had something where you were getting shot with lasers and you were actually like, your car was feeling it and you were like, like getting hit, that's something. Or if there were more moments of like Star Wars heart, where you like had a face-to-face with character you like, and you like felt like the wonder of Star Wars more as well. Like that's missing completely too.
Starting point is 00:58:57 So neither of those. Unfortunately, there are no characters you care about. There is, there is like a, who is the, it's the guy named Greg? Well, Lieutenant Beck. I love Lieutenant Beck. We like Lieutenant. He's new, but I love him. I look, I, if Ray, if we went into a little room with Ray
Starting point is 00:59:11 and she said some nice things to me, as long as that little girl, I like, I would feel something maybe there. She does. That's exactly what you do. You go into a real room. But that's pre-show, pre-show, pre-show. That doesn't, so it doesn't count, but it happens.
Starting point is 00:59:23 Doesn't quite count for me. It has to be on the ride. Finn is in the distance on the ride. You're going to get me all Doughboy-ish. Hey, first of all, fuck you. He's shit. Oh, it's coming out of me. So it's a great impressive ride.
Starting point is 00:59:40 It's just for the big hype of it being like, oh my God, it's the best ride ever. It's the best Star Wars ride ever. I feel like it falls short. Do you remember in, That's a bummer. Do you remember in, when Princess Leia in the movie listens to the Doughboy's podcast and that she passes away?
Starting point is 00:59:55 When she's flying through space? Or no, that's later. No, she disappears in the next movie. She dies of a broken heart in the ninth movie, which is what Padme happened to Padme too though. I can't believe they had so much runtime between episodes eight and nine. They had enough lead time to figure out what to do with Carrie Fisher passing away.
Starting point is 01:00:18 And their solution was, we're just going to use a bunch of old footage. And try to make it make sense. It was such a bad choice. For us upper daughter. When they could have opened it with like, hey, she died between movies. You know, like, hey, she passed away.
Starting point is 01:00:32 We're at Leia Organa's funeral. It's just this horrific galactic tragedy and we're going to try to soldier on. They could have figured out some way to like, you know, She dies in the movie. Bothly respectful. She dies in the movie. She dies in the movie.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Just keep her, they should have just had her die in the movie. It's a sad moment. Yeah, it's so strange. So strange. It does eventually. Truly bizarre. After a while. But look, you know, I want to come out.
Starting point is 01:00:57 It's I like this ride. I think people should go on the ride. But I hear some of what you're saying. And look, it is a big hassle to get on this ride. It eats up a lot of your Disneyland day. Maybe, which is something that could happen with this restaurant too, which maybe factors into my good point.
Starting point is 01:01:10 There's a lot of hassle at Disneyland at this point in time, which you're encountered, which we all encountered. And we'll especially eat up your day if you're ordering and taking your time and waiting for a fourth member of your party to come and eat out of the to-go boxes. I think that that will kind of mess up your day
Starting point is 01:01:26 and make it be like a two hour lunch instead of just, you know, a normal 45 to an hour lunch. Then there's nothing better than to-go theme park gumbo, you know? That partially eaten by your friends. By three of your friends. The gumbo was in a to-go child's cup. Which, to be fair, you would have ordered it in that anyways.
Starting point is 01:01:51 Yeah, in the souvenir child's cup, please. The, I had some gumbo out of there, kind of room temp. That was pretty good. The gumbo was fucking good. Honestly, I thought it was pretty tasty. And I think that would be my, so I'd eaten at Blue Bayou before, been years. They've completely revamped the menu.
Starting point is 01:02:11 But I do remember last time I was there, I was like, at as food is fine, but it's really all the atmosphere, which I'm okay with. Like I'm 100% fine with like the theming or the location or the service is the reason to go to this place and the food just gets the job done, as long as the food at least gets the job done. On this return visit to Blue Bayou,
Starting point is 01:02:31 I thought the food was actually quite good. I was like, I'm impressed by this menu. I think this is well executed. The food is quite good. More than I've liked it before. Yeah, I thought it was always a little placeholder-y, but yeah, they've upped the game, I think. So let's start with cocktails.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Scott, you got your wine. You got your wine that you were looking for. I sure did. Oh boy, oh boy. I, like I said, it was like a, wait, let me find the descriptor, because I see hints of apple, flavors of crisp apple, ripe melon,
Starting point is 01:03:03 and citrus gently balanced with toasty French oak. Well, I even mentioned oakiness. I see apple, I see oakiness. This is from the minor family. Loved this. And like I said, this is new to this restaurant. You weren't able to drink here before. Drinking in Disneyland Park is pretty new.
Starting point is 01:03:20 You could only do it before this in Star Wars Land, which is very new itself in the cantina there. And this is post-pandemic that they said, you know what, we're going to have beer and wine and cocktails at this sit-down restaurant, which is fantastic. It felt so great to have some good beer and wine in Disneyland proper.
Starting point is 01:03:38 I want to, as we're going through this and Jason and Carlson, I know you guys have been to this restaurant. You're both alums, you're both vets of the parks. I want to loop you guys in the discussion, even though you weren't at this particular meal. Jason, Carlson, any notable cocktails or beverages you've had at the Blue Bayou or any go-tos? Well, this is so new, we haven't done it.
Starting point is 01:04:01 Well, we could have it all. Oh, so you haven't done it since they've introduced that? Wow, okay. Yeah, so that's how new it is. Food-wise, I've had the jambalaya. They used to do crab cakes. Are they on the food, Jason? Are we on the food?
Starting point is 01:04:11 What? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, we're still on cocktails. I apologize. I'm moving too fast. No, it's fine. Trying to race a dessert, I think. Rarely a phrase I say, you know, so you'll excuse me.
Starting point is 01:04:26 There was a time that Mike and I went with my wife, Erin, and Mike's fiance, Lindsey, who's been on Doe Boys. We went together in 2017, which was like a little meal that you got that also got you a really good spot at the Main Street Electrical Parade, the nighttime parade that comes and goes from Disneyland. So you reserved a good spot for that, and then it was this three-course meal that was really great,
Starting point is 01:04:57 where you got a little orb of mousse with a little cookie next to it, and it all looked like a snail from the parade, like it was a snail that spins around. That's cool. And it's like, you know, like little translucent part. That was an awesome dessert. But the fun thing about that night was that that was Oscar night in 2017, and this was the year that some shit went down.
Starting point is 01:05:21 So we were out to dinner and not paying attention to the Oscars. And I, in Blue Bayou, I checked my phone just out of curiosity. How's it all going? And I saw a headline that said, La La Land Wins Best Picture. Like it was far enough down the road that that had won, officially get the articles out. And then I put the phone away. Let's not think about that again.
Starting point is 01:05:43 And then 45 minutes later, I look at it like, Oh boy, something has happened. Wow. One of the most confusing things ever. Piecing that together through a dinner was like, What the fuck are you talking about? And we had watched part of that ceremony in the Lincoln Theater earlier that night.
Starting point is 01:06:01 Wow. They were showing the Oscars because it's ABC. I don't think they do that ever. Yeah. So they closed the curtain and the Lincoln robot was limp and not working. Obviously they didn't need it there. So we just watched a little bit of the Oscar.
Starting point is 01:06:15 I don't know why I said limp, but. The Hollywood Sickos. Imagine if you went to the, you went to Disneyland on Oscar night in 2017 and you're like, wow, something crazy happened to the Oscars. And then like five years later, you're like, Oh, let's go to Disneyland on the Oscars again in 2022. And then I was like, holy shit.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Holy shit. You see the headline, night proceeds according to plan. No faces slapped. All faces are comfortable. The flash tapping into the speed force one best fan moment. The ratings are through the roof. The Oscars are saved. I'm kind of disappointed in all of you for not,
Starting point is 01:07:04 it's your duty as people who live in Hollywood and work in Hollywood to watch the Oscars on Oscar night. So tisk, tisk to both of you. Yeah, I'm sorry. We did deserve. I find it good night to go out to dinner actually. We'll usually do that on Oscar night. We'll go to a restaurant because it's like,
Starting point is 01:07:19 there's no one there. Everyone in LA is fucking watching the Oscars. Yeah, but why do you go to the Cabo Wabo Cantina at Hollywood and Highland? That's like next to the Oscars. This is the worst one. Well, I mean, that's where the party is. I mean, that's true.
Starting point is 01:07:32 The Red Rock or Sammy Hagar. I did see, we did see once the Hollywood Boulevard Captain Jack Sparrow eating like an enchilada plate at the Cabo Wabo Cantina. That's true. That's fuck. And then after the movie we were at, saw him at the Randy's Donuts
Starting point is 01:07:50 that didn't last very long down there, trying to get a deal on the nails. Is that the Bons Yee, except? That beats my story of... Bons Yee. That beats my deal of, my story of I was at the Burger King on Sunset Boulevard, not far from there.
Starting point is 01:08:07 And I saw, I think when I told on the story, the podcast before, I think it was a Spider-Man. I think it was the Hollywood Boulevard Spider-Man was eating at the Burger King, which was a lot of fun. That's still pretty good. Yeah, still pretty good. I... But it's not, it's not, it's not
Starting point is 01:08:23 Depp eating an enchilada platter. I mean, come on, Cabo Wabo. It's fake Depp eating a... Fucking Olm Run. I know, I should try to go to Dave and Buster's on the next Oscar night. I think that would be fun to hit up to Dave and Buster's. I'm gonna say, see Dave Franco in there.
Starting point is 01:08:40 You know, the Dave and Buster's and... Right. And Buster Keaton. I got bad news for you. Don't you dare, fuck! How dare you? To start off our meal, I had a hurricane, which I had just recently had at Pat O'Brien's in New Orleans,
Starting point is 01:09:05 the place that created the hurricane. And I got to tell you, the one in Blue Bayou was better. I loved my Blue Bayou hurricane. Really? Wow. Yeah, Kyle also had one of those bad boys. He had a hurricane. I went for round two.
Starting point is 01:09:20 I got another hurricane. And Scott, you moved on to a beer. I forgot which beer you had. I think it was the... I think I got a list here. I think you got the Abita Brewing Company Amber Lager. I think that's what you got. Oh, I was trying to remember.
Starting point is 01:09:32 Oh, thank you for writing it down. Yeah, it was delicious. Whatever. Oh, from Louisiana. Look at that. From Louisiana. I got a picture of the taps, which are really... Which look really sharp in that Blue Bayou.
Starting point is 01:09:44 I'm gonna say this right off the bat. As you would expect from Disney, the service was fantastic. Our waiter did not care at all that I was putting everything into to-go boxes and gumbo into a child's cup. You can eat as soon as it showed up. Like, let's have a multi-course meal, but also send those to-go boxes out as quick as you can. As quick as possible.
Starting point is 01:10:03 We were putting them in all for Nick in his one o'clock weird deadline. And so we got the chicken gumbo, which is tasso ham and dewy sausage, peppers and tomatoes with steamed rice. So we got that chicken gumbo. Then we got two salads wags, which we knew you're a salad fan,
Starting point is 01:10:20 so we thought you'd like this. Oh, yeah. We got the Blue Bayou salad, which is baby greens, blue cheese, dried fruit, tomatoes and house vinaigrette. And then we also got a heirloom tomato and watermelon salad, which is a marscapone honey, purple radish, herb vinaigrette and house vinaigrette.
Starting point is 01:10:38 I thought I was gonna like that watermelon salad like more than I did, and I think it was kind of the loser of the bunch. But I thought that Blue Bayou salad was really great. And I thought the chicken gumbo was maybe close to the bite of the night. I love the chicken gumbo. The gumbo was good even after it'd been sitting for a bit.
Starting point is 01:10:56 I would honestly flip the positions of the Blue Bayou salad and the heirloom tomato and watermelon salad. And keep in mind, I'm eating this after it's been sitting for a while out of to-go containers. But with proper silverware though, the heirloom tomato and watermelon salad, I've had so many versions of that, like some sort of, you know,
Starting point is 01:11:14 like here's a watermelon with a little bit of, you know, some soft cheese. And, but I thought this was a good execution of it. Like I was like, I'm into this. And the other one I felt was just kind of like a replacement level salad, but they were both good. They're both quality.
Starting point is 01:11:30 I thought they were both pretty good. Blue Bayou salad basic, but satisfied. Like it seemed like nothing special, but it was oddly satisfying. And also you couldn't really, there was a hearts of palm escapiche, I don't know how to say it correctly. But that's the only one you could have gotten without fruit.
Starting point is 01:11:47 Everything else had fruit on there. By the way, Wags, we were putting your leftovers into the boxes ourselves. We were basically eating and then shoveling them into the boxes. It's nice of you. I think we did a pretty good job of separating them up, but- I got to try everything.
Starting point is 01:12:02 Well, you know why? Because we ordered everything on the, every entree on the menu. Every entree. What a, oh, what a thing. We got every entree. Kyle got the chicken jambalaya. Scott, you got the fish, which was the-
Starting point is 01:12:18 I don't remember what type of fish. Was it a seared tuna? Sustainable market fish. It was like a seared ahi tuna, it seemed. It was like, it was like- It was, yes. Kind of rare, right? Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:12:28 The chicken jambalaya is sustainable jumbo shrimp and dewy sausage, tasseoham, creole spice rice and tasseoham tomato jus. And then there was the sustainable market fish, which is Caribbean hoppin' John, herbs, lime, and mango, coconut, beurre blanc. I'm not sure what the Caribbean hoppin' John means, but- It's like a beans and rice dish.
Starting point is 01:12:51 Okay. Which was more, right, now that I think about it, it kind of was just rice. Like the Caribbean, it's a little too dressed up. But yeah, I never heard that term before. It was a coconutty rice, but that was kind of the base underneath the fish. This was the one that probably suffered the most
Starting point is 01:13:08 from having sat for a while, just like a piece of raw ahi that's a rare ahi, rather, that's been sitting for a while, was like a little less toothsome. But I thought, but I did like that coconut rice. So that was really flavorful. But it was weird that it was kind of a rare ahi. I had no idea.
Starting point is 01:13:21 Like it felt almost too, like it was like, I know this is like a fancy restaurant within Disneyland, but that felt like almost too much. I love that. That's way up my alley. And that's maybe a food thing for me. Like if I'm doing kind of elevated eating at Disneyland, which I think a couple places do really well,
Starting point is 01:13:39 they're Disneyland fish of the day, either at Disneyland or there's like great restaurants in the hotels and Disney world. Like I never go wrong. Whatever chefs they have tend to knock those out of the park for my taste. Well, I'd say the one that wasn't knocked out of the park, I think the one that we agreed was not great,
Starting point is 01:13:57 was one we were really excited about was the fava bean and pistachio pesto pasta, which we were all kind of excited about. And then it was just kind of fine. It was asparagus, arugula, tomatoes, basil, and squash blossoms. And we all kind of thought it was just okay. This is a plant-based option though.
Starting point is 01:14:14 This is, that's one thing to consider because they did have some veggie options and this was one of them. I was always going to say that, yeah, it's a vegetarian thing, which is a bummer. My wife's vegetarian and like, yeah, it's always the sign with these places
Starting point is 01:14:26 of kind of of their creativity and how much can they flex those ingredients? Or like is the veggie thing really dynamic or is it just kind of a mush? And this, yeah, that was a little mushy to me. Can I have a quick question, Weiger? Where did you end up eating this food? At the table.
Starting point is 01:14:45 At the table. You were, you did, you came, but you, the boxes were there. I came and they were like, dessert is on the way. And I did get to eat dessert as it arrived, which we'll talk about. But they were like, dessert is on the way.
Starting point is 01:14:57 I've, everything else has been packaged up. And I was still like, the server was there. The server took my drink order. They didn't have a lot of non-alcoholic options. I was expecting like some mocktails, which they didn't have what's a little surprised by, but I did get an iced tea. It was a solid iced tea.
Starting point is 01:15:11 And I had a bunch of this food in a hurry. Okay. All right. That's good. I will, I will send the photo, but I do have this picture of you like having arrived kind of, obviously in a, it arrived, like you had to eat in a hurry. You arrived like having to like move as fast as you can from the commute to the parking garage. You hit your head on the parking tram.
Starting point is 01:15:33 I hit my head in the tram getting on. Yeah. I was very dizzy. I was cranky and then it was very dizzy. Then you stayed dizzy for a while. I've done that. I've done that. It's really low. Too low. That's not so insane to happen. But yeah, then you're, and then you're like,
Starting point is 01:15:46 you walk in with a hat and with all, with your backpack on, and then you're just like shoveling out of like a, several stacks high pile of to-go boxes. It just, it was the most like stressful image. I felt bad that it came to, I'm glad you got some time in the restaurant, but it was not the opposite of chill, which is what this place is supposed to be.
Starting point is 01:16:08 Yeah. Did they give you a chair or did you just like kneel next to the table? Set on Mitch's lap. He was on the high chair. Wags, it was, look, you got there about 125 or something, I think it was, it all worked out, but it was. Yeah, it worked out fine. You had to shovel the food out of the boxes
Starting point is 01:16:30 while the dessert was coming. And then we ate dessert because we had already been sitting here. We had been sitting there for, for a while anyways. Yeah. We also got the Flamin' Yan, which had potatoes, bravas, spinach, lemon aioli, and olive, piqueo, pepper, tapenade. This is going to just make me sound dumb. And then the big one, which is the Monte Cristo
Starting point is 01:16:51 and seasonal salad we also got. That's the big one. This is the one that everyone's like, the Monte Cristo at Blue Bio, you got to have it, which is battered and fried turkey, ham, and Swiss sandwich with a market fruit salad and seasonal preserves. I really liked, we were joking because we were like, we don't need to get the steak.
Starting point is 01:17:11 And then we were like, let's just get the steak too. And the steak was really, really good. It was, the steak was fantastically good. And maybe that is my true bite of the night. And I liked, I did like the, I did like the Monte Cristo. Of course it's heavy. And it's very different than what you think it is. It looks like a big, like a, it looks like a little magic hat
Starting point is 01:17:33 on your plate. Like it's served upwards. You know what I'm saying? Like it is served upwards. Really? It's like high and pointy. Yeah. Yeah, high and pointy.
Starting point is 01:17:42 Yeah. It was, what's some way to play the sandwich? Yeah, yeah. It was, it was fun when it showed up that Mike and Jason, I'm curious your experience with, I don't know if you've had this at Blue Bio or anywhere else at Disney, because this is sort of a famous Disney.
Starting point is 01:17:57 Blue Bio is not the only place you can get it. Have you done Monte Cristo? Disney before? Mike, can I take this one? Be my guest. I got this. I got this. I like Captain.
Starting point is 01:18:07 Oh my God. Oh, there's Weigar. The caption is, Weigar shovels food. And it's a, move my head down. Get my, I'm doing my work. I'm on the clock. Yeah, you did, you did, you got right down to it. It was extremely professional.
Starting point is 01:18:23 I just, I pitied the stress level that you were operating at. And the near concussion. Yeah, just dizzy. On the clock at Disneyland. I can't, I don't think there was a more, I think there, I don't even think there was a more miserable person working there than you. I think that you, the guy who has to like, pick up puke is, was happier than Weigar.
Starting point is 01:18:49 But the Monte Cristo though, Jason. Yeah, sure. Sheridan. Um, yeah, I have had this before. It is like a sleeping pill. It's like you've turned a sandwich into funnel cake. You can also get this same sandwich at the French market, the outdoor restaurant, indoor outdoor restaurant,
Starting point is 01:19:07 like just across the way. And there, I think they also have a vegetarian one, which is just a couple of different types of cheese. And I think that one is usually better. Oh wow. Yeah, I can see that. There's a lot going on. I've gotten the veggie one.
Starting point is 01:19:22 Yeah, I'll say this. There's a lot going on. It's, it's borderline ungepocheca. I do actually like a Monte Cristo by, by, by, by Lake Grandfather. George Rudolph Hansen was a big Monte Cristo guy, I know. And, and I've, I've always said, yeah, great name, great name, great life, work at JPL, World War II vet, RIP. Listen to Doughboys, unfortunately.
Starting point is 01:19:47 He was already doing time for committing that murder in an Agatha Christie novel. So the, the, the Monte Cristo, I thought, like, I've always had some, some fandom tour, some, some fondness for, I thought this was a good execution, like, like, like nice texture to it. You know, like, like a lot of protein in there, but I thought that was quite good. But to, to, to Sheridan's point about the, the vegetarian version
Starting point is 01:20:14 that you can find at the French Bar and Cafe, I have had that before and I instantly had diarrhea. It was so much cheese. Cheese. But like, I walked, like, we, like, it was like, I, like, hurriedly paid or like, maybe you paid the counter and like, I just hurriedly wrapped up the meal and went straight into the bathroom
Starting point is 01:20:29 and then was in there for a long, long time. Well, you got diarrhea just from ordering it? No, from eating, no, from eating it. Oh, okay. So you're saying when you were done with your, That's too scary. When I was done eating it, yes. I thought you were saying that you were at the checkout
Starting point is 01:20:41 with the sandwich and paid for it and then you had diarrhea before you even ate it. And I was like, I don't think that's the fault of the sandwich. Yeah. I couldn't remember if you paid for this, paid at the counter if that's one of those places or if you pay, they have a check they bring to you. But either way, as soon as I was done with the meal,
Starting point is 01:20:54 I had to go to the bathroom and they were like, he's in there long enough where the rest of my party was like, Hey, we're going to like go on a ride. And I met up with them. It's fucking miserable. In there, brother. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:05 Weigar, you actually asked me if there's a good place to take a shit at Disneyland a few weeks ago. I did. Yeah. And you gave us a tip. You did. Yeah. And the answer-
Starting point is 01:21:14 Wait, so that, you did that prep of where do I take a shit and then the day of there was a back and forth about can I bring a refillable water bottle in here and exchange when we said, yes, that prompted a Weigar. Wow. So your prep is entirely toilets and water. It's just survival. Survival, yes.
Starting point is 01:21:35 Nowhere to fucking doubt that. You're going to live. Can I ask Weigar, did you take a shit where I suggested or no, you didn't need to? No, my bowels did not cooperate. I did not have to go number two at the park. I didn't go number two at the park either. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:48 But I did make use of that bathroom because we ended up as part of our day. And this was another element where Scott is volunteering, had this reservation for us to get drinks at Carthé Circle and was volunteering. He's like, if we don't have enough time, it's fine. And Mitch was just like, it's going to work out. It'll be okay.
Starting point is 01:22:04 And we're all like, okay. And it did. We went and got drinks at Carthé Circle. We were way late and they still let us in. Yeah. Yeah. Carthé Circle, the lounge with my favorite drink. We all love the drink, the Carthé Manhattan,
Starting point is 01:22:18 the Manhattan they do there. But it seemed like you guys, you did different drinks, but everything was fine. I had a Mai Thai and I thought it was fantastic. So two hurricanes and a Mai Thai is Mai. And then later went to Pirates Dinner Reventure that night. Talk about diarrhea. Just asking for it.
Starting point is 01:22:37 But I will say real quick, the bathroom that Carl said, if you don't want to dox it, we can tweak it if you don't want people to know. Okay, great. It's in the castle, right? It's the up... No, it's the very... Yeah, if you can sneak into sleeping beauty's suite,
Starting point is 01:22:54 she's got a great private restroom there. You can get dumped in the wishing well. It's the upstairs bathroom in the Carthé Circle. And I went up there and yeah, it was very private. I just went number one, but I was like, this is great. This is like a sanctuary. Well, it's because there's a floor to ceiling stall. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:14 Huge, absolutely huge. Yeah. I can give you another five if need be. If you have a five, you can ask me. Wise, I saw you leave the cast and I saw Rapunzel climbing her own hair out of the window. Mitch, what if that just be falling? I was wondering, Wise, if you did shit your...
Starting point is 01:23:39 If you like shit in Disney, would they clean it up like within five minutes? I think we talked about this there that if someone was murdered there, that they clean up the body in within five minutes, if someone's shit, if you had missed the bathroom, you shit right there on the concrete, they would clean that up before anyone would see it. What is this question?
Starting point is 01:24:05 If a place where people work, if a place with a custodial staff... They would do that at Wendy's. They would clean it up. Yeah, I think that's... If you were a Cuban... That's a priority anywhere. ...way from civilization, if you're like a nail figure, like, do they clean up your...
Starting point is 01:24:23 I was just saying that there's... I've never seen Vama in Disney ever, actually. I've never seen it. You mean like speed-wise? It would be something they would get to very quickly. Yeah, I think they would get it done with pretty quickly. That's all. I think so.
Starting point is 01:24:33 I think so. Probably. Look, we got to go back to food for a second. So, one second. So, we got the... What's it called? Like we said, the Monte Cristo, which... Yes.
Starting point is 01:24:47 On the Unca Pachka, there's powdered sugar on top of it. And then there is the seasonal preserves of the strawberry jam. And then there's also this white sauce, too. There's like two sauces... Because I thought one of them was a salad dressing for that side salad. And he's like, no, you put both of them on there. That being said, I still did kind of like it. It is a lot.
Starting point is 01:25:09 It's a lot. And we split it between, you know, all of us, you know, four people. But it is a lot. But I really did like it. The steak was maybe the best, but I really enjoyed the Monte Cristo. And we got a dessert that I think would have worked over in Galaxy's Edge. A strange dessert that truly would... Olga could serve it.
Starting point is 01:25:33 And I think that you wouldn't... Bada and Iwags layered chocolate coffee cake with, I think, a raspberry reduction, some sort of berry reduction in a seasonal fruit compote. Yes. That was wild. That compote was wild. It felt like Star Wars land food. Yeah, it wasn't like a fruit you have all the time.
Starting point is 01:25:56 I couldn't tell you what it is, but it's more in the cumquat neck of the woods. Yeah. It was definitely like, you know, a raspberry you'll encounter with chocolate. Like, that's like a common pairing or like a strawberry. It wasn't that. It was, yeah, it was like a passion fruit or something. A little more trammosal. And it kind of worked, but also it was like a very down-the-middle dessert otherwise.
Starting point is 01:26:22 It was just like, you know, chocolate coffee cake, plus some like little surprise, you know, tropical element. That it was kind of like, I don't know if they, if it quite synced up, like I don't know if it quite, and this was the entree, or this was not entree, this was the menu item that I had that was actually plated and that, you know, was served to me while I was at the restaurant. So, you know, I got to have this straight, like pretty much straight away. I thought it was decent.
Starting point is 01:26:48 I don't know. It wasn't anything special. It wasn't a highlight, but it was fine. But I'll tell you what is a highlight, and this is where we can all talk to this. Um, the atmosphere is fucking great. And the fact that you're, you're looking out into the, you're looking out into that pirate's ride, you're right across from Bayou Man, the man who's on his rocking chair, remember in the, in some say, the ride, you see.
Starting point is 01:27:13 Oh, oh, wait, you're saying, wait, what's this theory? Is that the Bayou Man is, is remembering his times as like a pirate or like he was like around during this, this during these pirate days. He was kidnapped. It's dark memories. I believe he's a tired pirate. I believe I've heard it. It's he's dreaming.
Starting point is 01:27:35 You're kind of going. He's dreaming. Okay. Interesting. Okay. Or when we talked about it with Kyle, I think he was saying that we, that it's like a, he's remembering like this is his memory. So that, I don't know, there's a lot of theories out there, but Bayou Man sitting right across
Starting point is 01:27:51 from where he's rocking his rocking chair, old Bayou Man. And, and, and it's beautiful. You see this little, you see this little fireflies and, and shooting stars go by. Those shooting stars. I don't even know how they do them. It's great. It's, it's one of the, it's one of the places in Disneyland where you can feel the, like how old it is too.
Starting point is 01:28:12 In a good way. It feels like you're a little bit back in time. Yeah. I agree with that. And it's a great, like it's, you know, it's a part of the ride that is, if you're not, if you don't super remember the Pirates of the Caribbean, it's like, before things get crazy and there's a drop and then you're with all the pirates and the town is burning.
Starting point is 01:28:30 It's such a, like, it's this very serene scene at the beginning. That's just this, this gentle swamp that's setting the mood and placing you in New Orleans and this restaurant and all of it is in New Orleans square, which is the land in the park, which informs what the restaurant is. But it's a, it's such a calm part of the ride and it passes so quickly and you kind of think, boy, I'd love to just hang here for longer. And the restaurant affords you that opportunity. I agree.
Starting point is 01:28:59 Wow. Jason, are you a fan? Where would you guys all rank the Pirates ride? It maybe is over time. I'm like, is it my favorite Disney ride? It is certainly up there. It's up there. Ooh.
Starting point is 01:29:12 Yeah. It's up there. I, I, I love it. I, I love it. Um, I, I think I always love the Haunted Mansion more, um, in recent years, I always feel like they are, uh, running too many boats. So inevitably you're either going to hit the boat in front of you or get nailed by the boat behind you and like a big back up at the end.
Starting point is 01:29:33 If they just ran a few less boats an hour, uh, that probably wouldn't be a problem. But, um, I mean, that's, that's a pretty minor thing. But yeah, no, I love floating along the boats. As long as you, uh, as long as your boatmates are cooperative, uh, I was riding once with like family was visiting and the people behind us were just hammered like yelling at the top of their lungs. Scott last, cause we talked about. I just clocked that you, that you guys, if I can, Jason, both say hammered with a big lead-up H
Starting point is 01:30:08 and you did exactly like that. Jason, it's like a drop. You're going on a drop like pirates. I, I, it is an emphasis because these people were like going and it's like, I am amazed they let them on this ride because like, I'm amazed they did not get out and start climbing on the scenery. You know, pirates. Yeah. Pirates.
Starting point is 01:30:28 You're at the mercy of strangers, which is the only maybe X factor that can impact your ride. Like a lot of rides, it's just you, you know, two people, three people or whatever. But pirates, you know, you can get a bad boat. Yeah. Jason, there was a time when there was a guy, and I'm not even saying this is bad. There's a guy in the front of our boat who, when they used to have a projection on the mist, with a, you know, Barbosa would be up there and he would say something. There was a guy who put it, just sucked in a big vape cloud.
Starting point is 01:30:58 And as soon as they hit the mist, he put his head up in the air, like put his arms out and went like and blew the vape smoke into the mist of Barbosa. And it was like strawberry vape hitting us in the face on the boat. So it's like, you can get a bad boat. Jason, was it, was it the depth family that was behind you? No, it was Johnny. It was Lily Rose, our new co-worker of the weekend. And they were just partying.
Starting point is 01:31:31 Kevin Smith and his family. We were talking about how it is funny that they did the work of like no more wife auction. And then still at the end, there is now Johnny Jeff saying goodbye to you. So much depth. Yeah. And we were trying to get a picture with Captain Jack Sparrow on the park. And then we were like, we maybe shouldn't get tried to do this. So we kind of gave up on it halfway.
Starting point is 01:31:56 Let's not be extra associated with the character. Just the character. He's running around. I mean, it's a character. It's a character. He's running around. They kept the ride up pretty well. Like it's usually running pretty well, but there have been some confusing choices,
Starting point is 01:32:12 one committing to that being in there for like, I don't know, coming up on nearly 20 years now. And then that projection effect they used to do where it would be Barbosa or Black, like Ian McShane's character. Or Davy Jones. Yeah. And Davy Jones, they used to like play the famous dead man tell no tales sound effect. But then one of them would show up and go, ah, but they do tell tales. And I was like, what the hell is that?
Starting point is 01:32:43 Like, why don't you just contradict your own ride, you know? And it felt too modern for something that does feel like beyond being a trip to whatever 1800s year it's set in, there is this 60s feel to it and this Walt era feel to it. And the more modern you get, like the Johnny Depp robot doesn't totally ruin that for me, but the screen did. And I'm really glad that's gone. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:06 Yeah. So when we, you know, we have not done an episode about Pirates of the Caribbean yet. We have, we did a small, we did a shorter episode about just the pilot with the dirty foot. But did you either of you clock this even? And this is the only thing we've done about Pirates of the Caribbean is you go under a bridge and there is a pirate dangling above the bridge and his foot is dirty. And people like this dirty foot. Mike especially likes this dirty foot pirate.
Starting point is 01:33:32 Does that even sound familiar? This is the only thing we've done an episode about. And you see it as you go under this bridge. You've only done an episode about the dirty foot. Is it on the ride? It's on the ride. Yeah. He'll see it.
Starting point is 01:33:44 On the ride. His foot isn't always that dirty. It's what we, the day that we were on together, his foot was not that dirty. So this is like us doing an episode on like a singular McDonald's french fry. Yeah. Yeah. And you would, if you guys had done our approach, you would have had more stuff to draw out over the course of these podcasts.
Starting point is 01:34:04 You have to go back to McDonald's 10 times. The big ride that's so daunting. Yeah. We try to approach them with a proper, you know, respect and give them the time to breathe. And a lot of food. There he is. Here's the dirty foot. Here's a pirate.
Starting point is 01:34:16 Where the fuck is his foot though? Let's see his foot. He's not actually sure it's his foot. There's a toy of him even. There's a little toy. If you click on the white picture and they painted his foot dirty. In the wide, you can kind of see his foot here, but it's like there isn't a close-up of his of his feet on the wiki.
Starting point is 01:34:32 This is the wiki feet page. There's the toy. There's the. The toy is a real splashy. There's his wiki feet. It was kind of our wiki feet of episodes. No, we look, we break these things. It's a slow pace first.
Starting point is 01:34:46 You guys went, you did an episode about it on the double with Kyle. You had fun. You talked about it for, you know, an hour. We have to, we're like scared to talk about parts. For us, we're like, what construct do we have to, what like 15 part, if that even does it? What confusing tortured thing do we have to do to get through Pirates of the Caribbean? We will. We just make it bad.
Starting point is 01:35:09 Just following our footsteps. Make it bad. That's all you got to do. You just do a bad job. That's one approach. We usually just make limit configuration like puzzle boxes first. We trap ourselves. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:23 You know, that's all, you know, you don't make them laugh. Wags and I just have a make it bad. We do this. We've, we've never done McDonald's. So I do understand it at some level. There's like a. Oh yeah. Wait, didn't you, you did, you did breakfast with Sarah Silverman or a memory in that?
Starting point is 01:35:41 Yeah, we did McDonald's breakfast, Sarah Silverman. We did McPlant with our friend Eric Edelstein. And we also did a, we, we did our, our, uh, dough boys, uh, uh, our tournament. We did Munch Madness, the tournament of Chompians, Mac Attack, where we did all, we did 64 McDonald's items to pick the individual best item. And of course the answer was fries at the end of that. But we have not done like a proper, like here's our fork score of McDonald's. We all need somewhere to go.
Starting point is 01:36:07 That's the thing. These, what happens to these podcasts if we lose the, maybe it is Pirates for us and it's McDonald's for you. And then we sit, we probably, we probably all sit around complaining about these streaming shows. We're like, it was two seasons of 13 episodes and nothing happened. Meanwhile, like here's, all right. So here's just pig number two from Pirates of the Terror.
Starting point is 01:36:29 I did love the pig list. Here's Quarter Pounder Month. Yeah. That's pretty good. That is good. Yeah, yeah, take it. Yeah. Can you pick a note of Quarter Pounder Month?
Starting point is 01:36:40 All right, thanks. Thank you. Have you guys tried to secure the adult Happy Meals yet? I was going to try to get it and I haven't had time yet, but I do want to go get a grimace. Everyone, everyone seems to want a grimace, so. I have grimace. I got him. I have grimace.
Starting point is 01:36:54 Our Discord server, the, the DoeScore has been saying that the McDonald's are particularly overwhelmed right now. So we've kind of been waiting a little bit for things to die down, but hope, but maybe by then all the toys will be gone. Yeah. Yeah, that's about it. No, go make like Szechuan sauce and go, go yell at everybody. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:11 You might, you might go viral. You might go viral. Jumping legs and hop on the counter. I mentioned when we got the Big Mac coins, Mitch, we, we went and got the Big Mac coins and this was a, this was a limited thing. Yeah, this was a limited thing where they had a Big Mac coin at certain, and different McDonald's had different ones and I went to the La Brea McDonald's, this is a particularly busy McDonald's and they, or I was like, do you guys have the Big Mac coin?
Starting point is 01:37:37 The guy was like kind of like already, yeah. And then, and then I got my meal and I opened it up just to make sure the Big Mac coin was in there. And the guy like snapped and he was like, it's in there. Like he dealt with so many fucking over 30 nerds who were just like, like, I don't think the Big Mac coins in here. So he preempted the job. Jason, you were just, you were just, by the way, you were just on my TV.
Starting point is 01:37:58 Your Hulu commercial was on. I'm not watching TV. Wow. Wait a minute. That's cool, but you're okay. All right. You're not. The TV is on, I'm muted.
Starting point is 01:38:07 I actually don't even know what is on. I think it's ESPN. You were just checking to see if any of us were on TV. And I wanted to see if any of you popped up with commercials. There's a good chance with the BTI guys we're going to see on the TV. Great point. Jason's in one. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:38:21 You're Jason's on a lot these days for Hulu, for Hulu live plus plus plus or something. What's it called? Yeah. That's the one it was. It was just exciting. Yeah. Now there's a commercial for the dirty foot pirate on. That's a Disney ad.
Starting point is 01:38:38 One hot foot pics. How dirty can a foot get? Are you watching like the Dodgers game or do you just have Jim Rome is burning? I'm pretty sure it is like Rome is burning. It's sports. Okay. I just checked. That probably hasn't been on in 15 years, by the way.
Starting point is 01:38:55 I don't know. I relate to the cat guy on the pirate's ride, which I talked about as well, but I'm sure you guys know the cat man. He has a couple cats and I think that that guy is cool. Anyways. Here, kitty, kitty. Yeah, that guy, yeah. What this is making me think of is that like, you know, Disney cannibalizes their own
Starting point is 01:39:17 intellectual property for Disney Plus. They've obviously been doing it with Marvel and with Star Wars. When are they going to do some fucking pirate series? We could have a dirty foot pirate series. Why not? What's going on with this foot? Give us a pirate series. That foot get dirty.
Starting point is 01:39:31 Let's see some pirate series. Hasn't that been a rumor for a long time that there was going to be a reboot of pirates with Margot Robbie? That wasn't a rumor. Was it Margot? I thought it was Karen Gillen. Okay. She was going to play Red, the new pirate lady.
Starting point is 01:39:52 Carlson, forget all that. Give us, we don't want a movie. We want like a kind of shitty boring series. Give us that in 12 episodes. That's what we want. I'll give you that. I'll slow moving. Can it kind of look like shit too?
Starting point is 01:40:07 It needs to have like Zena or Briscoe County Jr. production. See, we don't know how the pirates got stuck in the dungeon. We know that the dog, but who, where did the dog come from? Who brought the dog? Let's see the dogs have sex that produces the dog that holds the keys. We should, we should see a dog give birth to that dog and the dog's backstory. We need, we need to know everything about the dog. As a pal finds a single key on the ground.
Starting point is 01:40:45 That explains it. I can't believe the dog was actually really brave. Anyways. Anyways, should we wrap up our thoughts on the blue? Let's get to our final thoughts on the blue Bayou. Our final restaurant of Yark Dobar chest. So Jason Scott, Carlson, I've had a blast. What we need to, what we're going to do here is we're all going to go around
Starting point is 01:41:12 and we're going to rate this restaurant based off of our, all our past experiences. And because it's, it's pirate month, we're doing it on a scale of zero to five, not forks, but pieces of eight. So we'll go down. Hey, Wags, I was going to say when you finish your review, you're going to go last. When you finish your review, you got to sign off with your pirate name. Just going to let you know.
Starting point is 01:41:35 It's now or never. All right. Okay. So I'll have my pirate name ready by the end of my review. All right. So Jason, let's start with you. Your, your thoughts, your closing argument on blue Bayou and your score from zero to five pieces of eight.
Starting point is 01:41:51 Okay. Sure. Yeah. I, I've been here a few times, like three or four times. And I think I've gone mostly when like family has been visiting and everyone likes the ambiance. I feel like we thought the food was either, you know, pretty good or fine. But I think the vibe is really what you're going for. If you really want like Cajun Creole food, you're better bet in Disney is Ralph Brennan's
Starting point is 01:42:18 jazz kitchen in downtown Disney, where you can always pretty much get a reservation. But it's fun. It is fun to go and like have a fancy meal while you watch the Bayou man and the boats float by, but they've made it such a pain in the ass. It used to be as simple as calling one phone number and someone would say, what time do you want to come? We're booked that day. Could you come another day?
Starting point is 01:42:42 Like that was the whole exchange. You could do it in like three or four minutes. And now, uh, yeah, you've got to pick a 60 day window. This is the thing in Florida. Like you can pick months and weeks out to reserve your parks or your reservations. And I'm not super wild about that. So I think it gets docked points for like how much legwork you have to do just to go there. Now, if you want to just go and fuck around and try like the walk up wait list, as we
Starting point is 01:43:12 see today, sometimes it works. But I think I'm going to dock it down to three pieces of a, it would have been. Wow. But it's such a pain in the ass. Oh my God. Wow. Wow. Jason coming out hot against blue by you.
Starting point is 01:43:27 Wow, I think it would be four in the past, but now it's like such a headache to get into. Uh, I think that that loses a piece of eight. You know, I think that's a reasonable take. All right, Scott, we'll go to you. Um, well, uh, it was, it was a fantastic time, uh, beyond the atmosphere and beyond. I, you know, I have to, I have to notch some pieces back up due to the addition of, uh, of beer in my precious Disneyland chardonnay. And I, I loved everything.
Starting point is 01:43:58 I, I think it's been, I think they have overcome some of this thing of, uh, fine. There, there is a nice restaurant in Disneyland, but the food's just okay. I think we all agree. The food was not all of it, but a lot of the food was, was better than okay. And in fact, pretty fantastic in a, in a couple cases. Um, and I felt, I felt swept up not just into the Bayou magic and the Pirates magic, but of course the Mitch magic. I think the, it all coming together and working out for everyone except Wiger,
Starting point is 01:44:31 although still a little bit, um, I don't, you know, that'll like everything was working out. And meanwhile, Wiger was bashing his head into the fucking tram and then the fucking, the, the rock and roll. The coaster was fucking cutting his, the back of his fucking arms or whatever the hell was going on. I did get lacerations on my delta, my deltoids from, uh, this was shocking. This is a ride with like a harness. This is the Incredicoster and you put a harness over yourself and it was so alarming when you sent that text and especially due to the word laceration, which is a word I feel like I hear
Starting point is 01:45:03 mostly in murder trials. Like that's, it's an aggressive word. Like what's the, like what, what are we talking? You describe it a little, what did this ride do to you? Blood on the back of his shirt, like he was growing wings. It was like this, like an X-Men. It was actually the front, but yeah, I did have, I did have like kind of like a, on the fronts of my shoulders where the harness would attach, uh, you know, would be mounted.
Starting point is 01:45:28 I had like a, like basically like a three inch, um, uh, incision down each, down each shoulder. Yeah. And I think, I think, I think part of it might have been for the entire ride. I had my arms up. My, I'm very, I'm pitting right now. So I'm very, very sweaty, uh, but I had my arms up the entire ride and maybe that was part of it. Maybe the G forces pressing on my shoulders or produce that wound. When you put one of those roller coaster restraints on, do you push it in as hard as you can so you can barely breathe?
Starting point is 01:45:57 Oh yeah. I'm in there. Yeah. I'm snug as a bug. Is it like an auto orata gets fixed? Yeah. Just his neck, he slouched down and he's pressing it against his necks. Um, I, I, uh, I was behind you wigs and I was getting soaked from those pits. Just kidding.
Starting point is 01:46:18 In the splash zone. I was in the splash zone for real, right? Um, I, well, you know, but hey, that was all part, I think this is something that impacts Disney experiences a lot that like there's the variable of how was your time while doing it? I think I will remain kind of in love with Rise of the Resistance. Um, you know, because I thought it like the, the process of doing it and are we going to get on and we got in last minute and just barely and we had to wake up super early and like, um, those things, like if there's a lot of, uh, drama, but excitement and getting to an attraction,
Starting point is 01:46:52 you know, it's, it's part of the experience and it's a way Disneyland, you, you, you make it your own. So I have to pull the Mitch magic into it, even though it has nothing to do with the, the restaurant itself. I was so happy it worked out, but I do have to not, I don't want to just repeat stuff Jason said, but the, the pain in the ass nature of things in general at Disneyland. I have to dock it a little bit and that place where we went just to the lounge part and where you went to the, the great head to toe bathroom door, uh, Cartes circle, I, I think clearly has
Starting point is 01:47:21 dethroned blue bayou as the best nice restaurant and we didn't do like the sit down part of it, but it's so great there. The, I think you're not in a swamp with animatronics, but the ambiance is wonderful. I think food's better. Fantastic. Yeah. Um, so being that it's not the, being that blue bayou is not the big dog anymore and there's, uh, um, there's a pain in the ass.
Starting point is 01:47:41 I, I am still going to keep it at four, but it, but that could be, it could be a five if the pain in the ass, uh, was less. So four pieces of eight for me, but the day in hanging with the dough boys in with Kyle, that was a, that's an eight pieces of eight. That was a hoop. Uh, it's out of five, but, uh, yeah. Well, no, but I can, I'm saying that's how good it was. I went above and, all right.
Starting point is 01:48:01 Oh wow. Okay. Well, you can, if you want to limit our at five, but no, the restaurant is, uh, the restaurant is four. When you, when, when you said eight out of eight pieces of eight, uh, the lacerations on his deltoid started to throw blood, started to show up on a shirt again. Lacerations on the deltoid was also the final clue that her Kielpoiro used to catch Wiger's grandfather after he killed that bear.
Starting point is 01:48:31 The world's greatest detective, Kielpoiro. Today I will investigate Zabayu. Did you say your grandpa worked for J, JFL? Uh, J, he worked for JPL, not JFL. Oh, they don't work for Just for Laugh. Just for laughs. Just for laughs. I thought he maybe worked for Just for Laugh.
Starting point is 01:48:51 No. He made cheap videos that they play on planes. He, he voiced Victor, the green goblin of Just for Laugh. That little green, that little green. Oh, that's his name? The guy? Oh, now we know. Not that about that guy in forever.
Starting point is 01:49:07 That's a podcast, the right episode. Victor. Wow. Victor. We'll take any shitty mascot that's all fair again. Yeah. The vice prime minister of Canada, Victor. Love Victor.
Starting point is 01:49:19 All right, Carlson. It falls to you, uh, your, your thoughts, your verdict. I, uh, I don't actually want to take any points away from the, I don't feel the restaurant deserves, it's, this is, this is high level management problems with the app and reservations. So I'm not going to actually take that into account for my review here, but I will say I have a small gripe with it. Is that I do think they could use like 10 to 20 less tables in there.
Starting point is 01:49:48 And it can sometimes, depending on where you sit and never get in. So, yeah, that might be a problem because you might never get in, but it would make your experience a little better. Cause sometimes depending on where you sit, you don't get maybe the great view and as much of the atmosphere as you want. They can put you like right by the door and then you're really close to a different table and it can drastically change your experience. We should address that where we were.
Starting point is 01:50:13 We were in the bathroom. They put us in the bathroom. They set up a table, yeah. We, we, we were, I'd say halfway in, you think that's a pretty good halfway in is pretty good. But you, and we were kind of like under a nice fake tree, which is great, which they call, they make up a name for the tree. They call it the, the Disney dendron. That's the official name of a Disney fake tree, which we love.
Starting point is 01:50:44 We love our fake rocks, fake trees, fake indoor sky. But like, yeah, there's, if you, if you're really close to buy you man, now you're talking like that's a awesome place to have a meal. That's five pieces of eight. And if you're close to the door, it's four pieces of eight. So I'll, I'll average it to 4.5 is really what I'm going with this. Very good score. I love that score.
Starting point is 01:51:08 I look, I would want nothing more than to be sitting right across from buy you man and having them staring right at me as I'm eating my sandwich. I would love that. That is, that's fantastic. It didn't happen secrets to you. I burned a town down. Whatever his dark history is, I love it. Justice for, justice for Johnny.
Starting point is 01:51:32 You heard the Jeff Beck album, pretty groovy. Let's go Brandon, you know, whatever he's saying to us. I'm still, I'm down for it. I, I love buy you man. I love the atmosphere in there. You know, we were in, we made it in. We, we, we, we got in, we got halfway in. That's about as good as the dope is going to do.
Starting point is 01:51:56 We're halfway in that restaurant and we got a table. Wags eight out of the, the to go boxes. It was fine. We did it. I think I have a love hate relationship with Disney and I, and this is the part of Disney I love. I love the magical indoors part. When you're on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and you just,
Starting point is 01:52:20 and you jet out and you, and you're going by, by your man, right before that first drop, I think it is one of the most, most magical feelings in the world. And you know what, being adjacent to that, it, it is, that's one of the most magical places you can eat in the world. I love it. And I think that the food was surprisingly damn good. And I loved my hurricane.
Starting point is 01:52:41 The weak part was maybe the pasta in the dessert, but overall why I got to do it. I got to go perfect as, as, as the day, as the day went, like Scott said, for the experience I had in that day, I would say eight out of eight pieces of eight. But since the score is out of five, yes, I will give it five out of five pieces of eight. Wow. For the day.
Starting point is 01:53:06 I love it. This is the good stuff about Disney. This is the stuff I love. And I think that the app is crap now. The app has gone bad. You got to pay 20, you got to pay $20 extra just to go on Rise of the Resistance. You pay $20 for just a, to do the fast pass or the genie, as it's now called, in this fucking confusing way that light, it's the lightning lane.
Starting point is 01:53:30 Lightning. That's right. The lightning lane, but you get, but you do it through the genie, right? The genie is plus. You go through genie plus, you buy your lightning lane. Listen to the sentence you just said. That is insanity. You go through genie plus to get the lightning lane.
Starting point is 01:53:46 Well, but you could also just buy individual lightning lanes. That is separate from genie plus, but you have to, if you have genie plus, you use the lightning lane a lot. And there's also regular genie that's free who will just help you navigate your day, but that's free. And of course you want to be a magic key holder, which it comes at the dream, imagine and believe levels. What the fuck are they doing?
Starting point is 01:54:10 I don't. Way too complicated. Thank you. I fucking hate all. I feel like these guys like it. I think you like it. I get so crazed with this. What are they doing?
Starting point is 01:54:18 Carlson loves it. We know Carlson loves it. Genie plus is actually just like fast pass plus, and I can navigate it pretty well. I'm kind of an expert on it already. I'm kind of a professional. I can do it. And honestly, Mitch took away my,
Starting point is 01:54:31 I was going to get this reservation for you guys, but Mitch took away my privileges, essentially when he went to pivoted to Sheridan. You don't want to help me anymore? This is slight. Well, I was confused. Oh my God. You're going to be there.
Starting point is 01:54:43 I get it. Yeah, yeah. But you, yeah, you, you offered this even that like, I'm not going to be there, but I will do my checking. That's what we call it. Because Mike's always on his phone, getting reservations for the rechecking, rechecking, refreshing, refreshing.
Starting point is 01:54:55 And you're like, I will do this for you, even though I'm not going. That's how committed he is to. The guy who's in charge of parks now sucks, because I also think that Galaxy's the edge. Could be better. I've talked about this a lot. I just, I'm having problems with Disney at the moment.
Starting point is 01:55:09 Well, dude, the guy who commissioned all that is now the CEO of the company at large. So there's a lot, that might be what's good. Bob Chapec, he's the bald guy with a beard that I think is weird, even though these guys liked the beard. Well, I do like his beard. I like his beard.
Starting point is 01:55:22 I don't like some of the choices with the beard. Do you have an episode on the beard? No, that's a good idea. We'll take it. I mean, look, the beard man, he came up with putting little baby Yoda in a dirty sack about like some guy that Mandalorian carries around. And you can get a picture with him in the dirty sack, you know?
Starting point is 01:55:41 Not yet though. They're working on it. It's a month, a month's away. Mandalorian only came out three years ago, and they're just getting around to putting him in the park. Get him all. He should be all over fucking. He should be all over Galaxy's edge.
Starting point is 01:55:55 He should be. He should pop up out of the toilet when you're there. It doesn't make any sense. 225. He will be there. Get him in there. Get him in there now. Get him in there.
Starting point is 01:56:04 Insane. Chappie is a fool, but this is classic Disney, just beautiful. I'm eating this. And by the way, people are like, it's not really a pirate steam restaurant. What the fuck are you talking about? This is how good. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:56:19 People have already figured this out. And they're like, that's not really a pirate steam. It's not pirate. Pirates. Pirates ride. What are you talking about? What the fuck are you talking about? You losers.
Starting point is 01:56:28 It is. Anyway, we have like one shitty listener for your 40. I feel so bad for you. Yeah. Get your house. Yeah. I think I guess it's just order to get your house in order. Buy about a five pieces of eight for me.
Starting point is 01:56:48 It's the Disney magic that I love. Carlson, we need your help to figure out that app, but it's a mess right now. It's a mess. I agree. I think a part of that issue is that I think listeners, to some degree, are attracted to themselves as hosts. And so as such, we've attracted a lot of cranky babies,
Starting point is 01:57:10 because that's mentioned by collective energies. I have a thought on the, because here's the thing about, we haven't remarked in general that these attractions were very impacted. The restaurant was very, very tough to get into. Sure. Like Din Tai Fung, when they opened their first location in Arcadia, California, after it got so, so crowded,
Starting point is 01:57:36 what they did is they just opened a second Din Tai Fung next to it. So like the first US Din Tai Fung, they were just like, Din Tai Fung 2 is next door. And if this one's overloaded, you can go next door. I think they should just replicate Disneyland, like right next door in like Buena Park, California. And there's like Disneyland 2 that you can go to,
Starting point is 01:57:58 it's the exact same park, nothing's different, they got the exact same menu. And it's just like, hey, overflow, this just goes to this other park, and everyone can be satisfied. Because the population's growing, but there's only so much square footage in the park, there's only so much real estate,
Starting point is 01:58:12 there's only so much acreage. You can only fit so many people in there. So crowded when we went to. So crowded. So I think that's one thought to address the park's woes in terms of overcrowding. One thing I want to say is, I think that this is a great,
Starting point is 01:58:30 as far as the blue bayou, I like that it exists. And I think I like that it feels like this little hideaway, it feels like this little hideout. I feel like that feels in the spirit of the attraction. And I think that makes it feel like a special occasion to eat there. It feels a little exclusive, which is nice. And if you can get in there,
Starting point is 01:58:47 you feel like you're kind of doing something special, which is the whole point of going to one of these theme parks is having that sort of magic memory. And I had a great time. I showed up, I was cranky, I was disoriented. But you know what? Once I sat there and started eating that food and taken in that atmosphere
Starting point is 01:59:05 and just wafting in the aura of bayou man, I was having a blast. So I'm going to say, I think this restaurant deserves to be in the Golden Treasure Club, which is reflected in my rating, four out of five pieces of eight. I think it meets the bar. I think it's right there.
Starting point is 01:59:25 And so that will be my score. And as Mitch teased, I will give my pirate name at the end of this thought, which is, you know, there's a Jolly Roger. My name is Weiger. But also my first name is Nick. And there's Jolly Old St. Nick. So my pirate name is the Jolly Old St. Nick Weiger.
Starting point is 01:59:54 Four out of five pieces of eight. Well, the windup was definitely worth the pitch. Great. Weig's, there is at least one accurate thing in your name, which is old. And I guess Nick too. I'm Weiger. Not Weiger.
Starting point is 02:00:18 What does it say again? The Jolly Old St. Nick Weiger. It's on the screen under space. If that helps. All right, old, old works. Jolly needs to go away, but it's, I mean, whatever. Look, before we can officially finish this review, D'Angelo wanted to, I think maybe say,
Starting point is 02:00:34 basically fuck you to you for your one day allowance. So she made an audio file. She made a drop that I'm going to now play. For all of you guys, here we go. Okay, great. A little Jen D'Angelo. Drop. Psych.
Starting point is 02:00:55 This is not a drop. This is Jen D'Angelo with a message for Weiger. Listeners, you deserve to know the truth. I was supposed to be the guest for this episode, but we couldn't get a reservation for the one day I could go and Weiger didn't want to just go and roll the dice to see if we could get in. So I was told to fuck off. So I didn't get a chance to eat a $30 salmon in a restaurant
Starting point is 02:01:13 that smells like chlorine. And that was something that I was really looking forward to. Weiger, or should I say wife? Because I think Natalie is not real. I've looked the other way in the past as you made slanderous accusations about my husband being too stupid to cook chicken, but this is the last straw. I officially hate you more than I hate Mitch,
Starting point is 02:01:31 which is saying something because Mitch is a real piece of shit. I hope you have a miserable, yark doberfest, and a genuinely frightening Halloween. Fuck you. Goodbye. Also, if I must have told you, I will say that this is kind of like a perfectly fitting thing for the Pirate Month because it's sort of like Pirate Radio, like me taking over the drop.
Starting point is 02:01:50 But also, this is stupid and I hate you both. Okay, bye. Wow. Wow. Geez. Well, I clearly also should have played that in the drop zone. I was realizing this as it was going. Look, Weiger, how dare you? Lucas is a great man as well, Jen's husband.
Starting point is 02:02:07 We were talking about, look, I was worried about sous vide because you got to be careful with the sous vide. But obviously, you know, I should have... It's fine. I wasn't questioning anyone's competency, all right? Couple of other... Well, why? It's perfect because Jen is going to be a guest
Starting point is 02:02:27 as well as the podcast of Ry Guys for Theme Park Month when we do it soon. There's no real date on it yet. Well, Mitch, what are we talking about? We are not going to do it. We're not going to do it as shit. No, what are you talking about? Wait a minute.
Starting point is 02:02:39 I'm on Jen's side. First we find out we weren't supposed to be here and now you're going to steal the premise of it. I'm already annoyed because I was going to ask one of you to put us in touch with Jen because I could not find her email anymore. But now it sounds like you're both persona non grata to her. So who knows?
Starting point is 02:02:58 I'm still in contact with Jen, don't worry. Oh, thank you so much, Emma. Yes, you could make that connection. That'd be great. Of course you are. First of all, Theme Park Month is happening. It's a thing we've also talked about for a long time. We're not doing it.
Starting point is 02:03:12 First off, you need it. First off, it needs a name. Second off, it needs buy-in for me, which it doesn't have. So it's not going to happen. We did yark dober chest. That's fine. That's Theme Park Month. Hey, stay out of our territory.
Starting point is 02:03:29 Jesus Christ. Are you going to be reviewing rides or like? No, we're going to be reviewing the food. Just like the dirty foot pirate. We're going to review the food in the view. We're going to take D'Angelo and Lucas to Disney. You know, I say that, but if you need us, look, we'll be there, Mitch.
Starting point is 02:03:46 I didn't mean to. It just came out. I fit this gen drop just through, you know. Now we know where the runner-ups. It's a weird thing to play in front of the guests, specifically someone else saying, hey, I was supposed to be the guest on this episode after three other people have given two hours of their time
Starting point is 02:04:04 to guess that. When you were texting me, it was for D'Angelo. Oh, yes. That's why I was working on it for a few days. That's what happened. The mystery is- They all knew it. They were going to be a part of this month anyways.
Starting point is 02:04:15 They were going to be in the month anyways. So it didn't matter. And then it was like, hey, we could ship you to- Where would we have been in the month if we were on this episode? Which episode would we have been in? We would have gotten to Jack and Rose's. Now another guest is going to be like,
Starting point is 02:04:28 wait, who is going to be on instead? Like, who has pulled out the guest that I'd going to be on instead of me? Well, forget those losers. They were going to get axed. Wags. Anyways, that was from D'Angelo. I think you misplayed this.
Starting point is 02:04:41 I think you misplayed this, Mitch. And also, I'll say this. You know, Mitch, I'm already sore about this sort of thing. Again, this is the thing you do. This is the thing you do. Cut out of all the money in the world. I didn't get that part. And all the money in the world I was up for.
Starting point is 02:04:59 Jason, look, go on. There's no, I get it. You didn't know this goes from, because this is the thing you do, is that you throw me under the bus, instead of being like to Jen, instead of being like, hey, sorry. Yeah, I know it's tough,
Starting point is 02:05:13 but I got to go back to Quincy for all of October. So unfortunately, we have to do in September, because of my availability. I, Mike Mitchell, and the bottleneck, in fact, here. You gave me one day, and September, you piece of shit. You gave me one day. That was the day that worked for me. And then I gave you another day.
Starting point is 02:05:29 I fucking moved heaven and earth to create another day out of thin air. I didn't have my fucking calendar. Moved heaven and earth. So I don't have to move goddamn by you. Have a great day with my friends. This is mold. I guess I won't play video games for 12 hours this day.
Starting point is 02:05:41 Shut the fuck up. You did shit. I had fucking shit to do. Here's what I was gonna say. Came home for a read. D'Angelo had a review. D'Angelo had a review. D'Angelo was supposed to be a guest this month.
Starting point is 02:05:53 Podcast The Ride was always going to be a guest this month. It was just a matter of moving Jenga pieces around. But I was gonna say this. Right, let's see. Not a save, that's the truth. But I am gonna say this. We also had another review from double guest Kyle Mooney, our companion on this day of Disney.
Starting point is 02:06:11 And we wanna play that as well. Kyle, thank you so much for joining us. I do before you go. Can we get your thoughts and your pieces of eight score out of five out of five pieces of eight? Any thoughts on Blue Bayou and your pieces of eight score? I really liked it. It was my first time going there.
Starting point is 02:06:31 And there's so much curiosity if you've been on The Ride, Pirates of the Caribbean, countless times and you've never gotten to experience whatever that thing is. It looks like it's nighttime always. I kind of imagined it just being like pasta for some reason. That's as a child, I always assumed like you'd get pasta there. But I think the menu's pretty well rounded.
Starting point is 02:06:56 Like it was cool that we... I wasn't expecting a filet, for instance, to be on the menu. But yeah, I thought it was good. I was bummed that you, Nick, had to eat the gumbo out of the container because I feel like that was one of my favorite dishes. Out of a child's cup, too, by the way. Yeah, I don't know if it survived and did the gumbo justice. But yeah, I'll go four.
Starting point is 02:07:27 I love it. Wow, nice. Wow. Very good score. Very good score. And hey, we'll talk about that in more depth at the end of the month. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 02:07:37 Well, here we are at the end of the month. Number four. Can I say something real quick? We maybe should have asked Kyle to be the guest on the Blue Bayou episode. What the fuck? We'll be back with more dough boys. Hey, you! You craving fresh, delicious, easy meals?

Starting point is 02:09:30 Do it. Yorg, and welcome back to Doughboys. We are here with the host of Podcast the Ride. Great podcast. As we close out Pirate Month, Yark Doughbar Chest. Yo-do, yo-do, a pirate's bite for me, and it's time for a segment. What say ye? Shall we have a segment?
Starting point is 02:09:51 I say we shall. If we get the vote, the vote will be no. We're going to do a segment. We're doing a segment, right? We're at two hours. So let's do the, I think this is going to be a fun segment. Fuck, this isn't a democracy. It's a fucking pirate ship.
Starting point is 02:10:03 I'm the captain. I'm going to say, I'm going to say we're going to do a segment. All right, let's do it. Let's do it. Captain now. I am the captain now. Hey, it's time for a segment. We've got a list of pirate themed foods and activities,
Starting point is 02:10:16 and we'll decide if we're in or out. Are we on board? Or are we bailing out? It's time for a new segment. Carlson's baby is driving now after this episode. He's the longest fucking episode. It's time for a new segment. Plank check.
Starting point is 02:10:35 Wow. Plank check with Mitchell and Weigur. Plank check with Mitchell and Weigur. Don't know which foods pirates like to lick. All you need to know is that the name of the segment's plank check. Wow. So for plank check, our associate producer.
Starting point is 02:10:59 Did you say Griffin and Weigur, or did you say Mitch and Weigur? I said Mitchell and Weigur. Oh, OK. I didn't hear you. We've inception so deep down the rabbit hole of podcasters who know each other. The world's folding in on itself, in on itself, in on itself. I said Mitchell, and I said shipmate, not shitmate.
Starting point is 02:11:19 All right, shipmate. All right, let's hear it, Wags. This is our associate producer, Emilia Marino, accompanied. I'm so fucking tired. Compiled this. This is a list of what pirates ate based on an analysis of nitrogen and carbon isotopes extracted from the bones of 80 18th century British sailors. Jesus.
Starting point is 02:11:39 I'm going to give, I'm going to list out the item. And you tell me, would you eat it? Or would you tell it to beat it? First up. Plank check. Hardtack. Hardtack was a dense biscuit made from flour and water that can last for weeks. But there is a risk of weevil infestation, which a mess with a hardtack.
Starting point is 02:12:03 I eat an early hardtack. Give me a fresh hardtack. I'd eat it. The weevils kind of scare me. I don't know exactly what they are. But if this is more than a couple of weeks old. Look, right now, my mom, she was like, have an English muffin this morning. And I looked in the, there were, she had three packs of English muffins in her bread draw.
Starting point is 02:12:26 And the earliest one had a sell by date of October 2nd, which I did. I did eat one. It's October. In the recent past, as of the start. But I did eat one. But I think that I would be okay with this biscuit if I was eating it early on. So yes, I wouldn't plank it. The point of hardtack is that it can last for weeks of a sea voyage.
Starting point is 02:12:52 But you're saying you're only on board if you can have it fresh out of the oven. Yes, basically. Okay. I can eat it fresh. Carlson, what do you think about a hardtack? I think I just- Sounds like hardtack. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:13:10 I think, obviously, it's designed to stand up. It's designed to stand up to the test of time. Yeah. And it's also, it's just like it's a funny reference that I would like to try on one of these days. So I, what are we doing? What's the name of this thing? What am I? I'm not planking it.
Starting point is 02:13:29 Plank check. Yeah, plank check. Would you make it walk the plank or would you welcome it on board? I would welcome it on board. Wow. Yeah. Gairdner? I'm, I've Google imaged this to help me out, to help me visualize and something that isn't
Starting point is 02:13:47 helping me is that I'm seeing a picture where they caught from their website breaddad.com. Oh, that's me. Okay. That's me. Sorry. Oh, gee, so you're bread dad. Yeah. He's married to the mother.
Starting point is 02:14:01 He's married to the mother doe. What other doe? They, bread, old bread dad. So Jason describes it as a survival bread and that sounds bad, but then I'm seeing it like soaking up in a soup and that makes me, maybe that takes it from hard to soft and maybe an interesting texture to soak up your flavor. I bet there's a way to use it. I think, I think you could like, you know, a chop style, turn this into something or add
Starting point is 02:14:29 to it or say, so I'll let it wait on the boat. What was it? You can put it on board or walk the plank. Yeah. On board. It's on board. Sheridan. I have always wanted to try a hard tack.
Starting point is 02:14:46 Talk about this. We've for sure talked to you about hard tack. 100%, this has been a joke multiple times that you had this when you were growing up in the Great Depression. I've always wanted to try, there was some like old timey book or TV show or movie or something where they're like, oh, we've got hard tack and fatback, which is like just very fatty like bacon. And from the moment I read about those, I was like, let's give those a shot.
Starting point is 02:15:13 It was like when the day galaxies edge open, I like immediately we got in the land and I was refreshing the app to mobile order blue milk. And I was like one of the first people to get it because I since I was a kid, I always wanted to try blue milk in those Star Wars movies. So yeah, I'd welcome a word hard tack. Yeah, for sure. Because you're an experimenter. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:15:41 I understand what everyone's saying, but I think you're all being too nice. We have better crackers now. We have better snacks in this day and age. Hard tack and walk the plank. I don't want to eat this. This is going to make me constipated. I don't want to eat this. Oh, no.
Starting point is 02:15:53 All right. It sounds awful. Yeah, man. All right. Next up, bone soup. This is soup made from boiled chicken and cow bones. I'd 100% eat this. Welcome on board.
Starting point is 02:16:03 That just sounds like bone broth. More for me, please. What do you think, Mitch? What's the risk of weasel infestation? There's no specific mention of weevils or weasels. Oh, it's weevils. Yeah. There's always the risk of weasels when you have food about, you know?
Starting point is 02:16:23 Yes. All right. I guess that's a risk I got to be willing to take. This is welcome on board for me. It sounds good. Yeah, welcome on board. Yeah. PTR boys.
Starting point is 02:16:34 Welcome on board. Yeah, welcome on board. Yeah, yeah. That's not, yeah. Nothing crazy there. Yeah, welcome on board for me. I think the only concern would be like they probably didn't have a ton of spices on hand, but I'd still give it a shot.
Starting point is 02:16:47 That's a great point. I think like, you know, we forget that how many, you know, how much the, like, flavor has just improved in general, like just because seasoning used to be so much less common in much of the Western world. All right. Next up, fresh water, keeping in mind, it may become tainted with green scum or slime. Jesus. Slime water.
Starting point is 02:17:13 Right. We're talking slime water. Here's the thing. I need to. Slime water walks the, what the, who, yeah, why would you want that? You want slime water. I mean, I gotta say hydrate. I'd say welcome aboard.
Starting point is 02:17:28 I think you gotta have that slime water. I'll try anything once. I guess it sounds like blue milk. It's green. Yeah. Blue milk, green water. Yeah. No, it's no, get out of here.
Starting point is 02:17:40 Walk the plank. The way you presented it, though, it made it seem like it might surprise me with slime. Yes, right. So there's a chance of slime. There's a chance of slime, but I have to risk it because it's the olden days. So I have to welcome it aboard to stay alive, but it's a risk you have to take. Man. I guess well, well, unless you truly just well water, maybe like the way that was,
Starting point is 02:18:03 like then that's more consistent than this natural slime water. But I bet you can get slime in a well as well. I would think so. And I think a part of it is just probably like leaving it on, leaving standing water on board for weeks on end. Eventually it might just get a little slimy. I think that could be it. Of course it's gonna get slimy.
Starting point is 02:18:21 But I have to welcome it aboard. I have no choice. I'm with you. All right. Next up, Salma Goondi. And here's a 1712 recipe for the dish Salma Goondi. Chop into small chunks, turtle meat, chicken, pork, beef, ham, pigeon and fish. Look at all those different proteins in there.
Starting point is 02:18:42 You got turtles, you got chicken, you got fish and pigeons. Marinate with spiced wine and roast. Add the meats to boiled chopped cabbage. Anchovies, pickled herring, mango, hard boiled eggs, palm hearts, onions, olives and grapes. And serve in a mound. This sounds like this has too much going on. I don't know mound of all these different things. Yeah, this is too much stuff.
Starting point is 02:19:05 Also the turtle. I was on board until the mound. The mound was the thing that turned me off. I had turtle meat alone. I had pet turtles. I'm an opposite shredder. I don't want to dine on turtle soup. I think that's upsetting to me.
Starting point is 02:19:17 So I'm going to say walk the plank. I'm going to say opposite because I've always wanted it because of shredder. My hero's shredder. I've always wanted to try turtle soup. So I'm in. Wow. Even if it's a mound. Wait, what's it called again?
Starting point is 02:19:36 This is Salma Goondi. I said Salma Goondi sounds like Unge Pachka. I say does a little bit. Walk the plank. Wow, same number of syllables. Complicated word because it sounds like complicated shit. Give me a complicated shit. But it sounds like the ingredients of hot dogs, which Jason loves.
Starting point is 02:20:01 Yeah, I'm going to welcome it aboard because it sounds like a party. There's so many disparate flavors going on. I have to know what the mango and the anchovies and the hard boiled eggs. Combined all tastes like. Jason, you're on load. Welcome aboard. I want to try this. Wow.
Starting point is 02:20:19 Wow. It's funny that you have only said yes to the slime water wigs. Slime water? Yeah. And what the slime water? No, bone soup. I'll take the bone soup. Okay.
Starting point is 02:20:33 The liquids so far. But they're both liquids. Yeah, the two liquids. Yeah. All right, here's another one. And I'll tell you what the name of it is. And then I'll reveal what it is. But first off, just tell me based off of the name, would you eat this?
Starting point is 02:20:48 Okay. Cackle fruit. Yeah. Cackle fruit. I did C, A, C, K. Mitch would do cackle fruit. I do cackle fruit. I think we need fruit with all the broth and slime water.
Starting point is 02:21:01 I think we got off set it no matter what cackle fruit is. Yeah, I love to laugh. So I got to try cackle fruit. I'm just going to say I have a bad feeling about it. So I will say I'm not going to welcome an abort. That's just a gut instinct. I will see if I'm right. My guess is you've all had cackle fruit pretty recently.
Starting point is 02:21:24 In fact, I had cackle fruit this morning because cackle fruit is what pirates call chicken eggs. Wow. Oh, okay. It's a nice thing. Then welcome aboard. Well, then I was... Yeah, welcome aboard. Well, eggs can make you gassy sometimes though.
Starting point is 02:21:39 So I think I made the right choice. That's a good point. Yeah. I'm just glad we didn't all end up eating pirate cum. That's what I thought it was too, yeah. I'm scared. All right. We've got one more food and then we've got a couple of activities.
Starting point is 02:21:55 Activities. This food is something that found... Yeah, we're going to go on a little field trip. Jesus Christ. DeAngelo said no. So you guys are going to get on a field trip with us. So next item, next food stuff, dough boys. These are dumplings made from flour and animal fat.
Starting point is 02:22:17 And let me tell you, I feel like I'd have some dough boys right now. That sounds pretty good. That sounds fucking great. Welcome aboard. Welcome aboard to the dough boys. Yeah, welcome aboard. Not the podcast. The podcast walks the plank, but the food comes aboard.
Starting point is 02:22:33 There used to be a pretty good brunch spot in LA called Dough Boys Bakery. And I believe it was shut down because of a bug infestation. Yeah, I heard it was rats, but it might have been roaches, could have been rats. I saw Michael Chiklis there once. I heard it was weevils, and a bunch of weevils, and weasels. It's what your listeners always fear is that dough boys will have a bug infestation. And it'll shut the podcast. Weevil mains shut down the dough boys restaurant.
Starting point is 02:23:15 Bug mains did. I'm weevil mains. All right, let's do a couple of activities. Here's an activity, pirate activity. Kidnap musicians to keep them entertained. Yeah, sure. It would, I feel like if I was a pirate, that would be a fun thing to do, to be like, hey, let's get these troubadours on board and make them play for us.
Starting point is 02:23:37 We're going to kidnap the sloppy boys? Yeah, kidnap the sloppy boys. That'd be a blast. I can't think of any other musicians that wouldn't kick our ass. That's the other issue. And they might also kick your ass. I mean, the sloppy boys also might kick our ass. So this is an issue.
Starting point is 02:23:56 Anything that Pitchfork liked from 2003 to 2009, you could beat them up. And you named the band. You could beat them all up easily. I could rinse with Win Butler. I could absolutely. I think that I could, first of all, I think that I could probably put Andrew Bird in the headlock and bring a board. And also he's going to be whistling.
Starting point is 02:24:21 He'll be whistling. He can play the violin and shit. He's perfect. I love it. Yeah, I would. I would do it. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 02:24:29 Welcome aboard. I'll kidnap Ringo Starr and bring him a board. He made that video. He said, no more kidnappings. Yeah, too bad. Sorry, Ringo. Kidnapping a guy with a little accordion. He's negative for COVID.
Starting point is 02:24:45 He's good. He's back on tour this week. He's good. He's back on tour. I love it. God bless him. Welcome aboard. All right, final pirate activity.
Starting point is 02:24:53 Apparently this was a beloved pirate pastime. And I have a feeling that at least a couple of our panelists will be very on board with this. Knapp. Why do you even have to ask? Yeah, welcome aboard. Yeah. Maybe the two biggest Knapp fans I know.
Starting point is 02:25:12 Mitch and Sharon. The Knapp heads mean. Get me up in that crow's nest. I'll fucking, I'll knap the entire trip. I won't even notice. I won't even notice the fucking that it took as long as it took to get there. Why is I love a Knapp?
Starting point is 02:25:26 Welcome aboard. Yeah, I love a Knapp. Who wouldn't nap on the high seas? You got a Knapp. I'm not a big Knapp fan, but I have to know with the baby. It's a necessity. There we go.
Starting point is 02:25:37 Yeah, yeah. But I'm not, I don't like, I don't like a Knapp. Yeah, I can't Knapp. I can be end up early off after a Knapp for sure. But on a pirate ship during that Knapp, there might be like rats, none at you. Bad stuff might happen. Jason, were you Knappin' in the ship?
Starting point is 02:25:52 Always a chance of weevils. Oh yeah, weevils. Yeah, I famously like to be up high. And I like the fresh sea air. So I think I'm copying Mitch and going up in the crow's nest. Oh, that's fun. Like a dirty rough sheet of canvas, you know, up there. Probably like cutting into you, like nasty ropes for a pillow.
Starting point is 02:26:15 I think it's perfect. Jason and Spoon Man are spooning in the, what is it, the crow's nest? And the crow's nest, I love it. Aw, you guys. And why it's meanwhile is not napping, drinking slime water. What else did you say yes to? The bone broth soup.
Starting point is 02:26:30 I'd have some bone soup. All right, he needs some bone soup and slime water. He's recreationally using the stars to plot the course. And they're like, no, no, we already have a guy who does that. Stop doing it. Hey, that was plank check. Just like a restaurant of our own feedback. Let's open up the feedback.
Starting point is 02:26:51 Do you think we'll ever do plank check ever again? It's always a chance. I'm trying to imagine if Mitch, if you, if you like, guessed it on the Dead Eyes podcast, and Connor Ratliff played a voicemail from John Gemberling that was like, hey, I was actually supposed to be on this episode, but I couldn't make it. You would be mad about that forever. You would be like fucking Ratliff had me on his podcast told me that
Starting point is 02:27:19 someone else was supposed to be on it. I'm going to start, yeah, I'm going to start the dead. I'm going to start our own Dead Eyes podcast about this incident. The three of us will do a spin off of Dead Eyes. That's because I'm so enraged. And it was then that the voicemail played. And nothing was ever the same again. We're podcast the ride.
Starting point is 02:27:43 This is. All right, that's fair. That's fair. Dead Ears, Dead Ears podcast. Dead Ears. Hey, we had an email from Andre. We had an email from Andre, rather, probably not Andre. Could be Andre.
Starting point is 02:28:01 Could be. It's Andre, pirate name Andre. Andre writes, dear Dohkru, today is my 32nd birthday. Wow, HBD Andre. Happy birthday, Andre. When I was younger, I saw the Lord of the Rings, the two towers in the theater. Before the feature, there was a preview for the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, which at the time was not rated.
Starting point is 02:28:22 I do remember this teaser. And I remember it, I think I've said before, I remember that it got booed at first. Pirates of the Caribbean, the logo came up and people were like boo, this is stupid. And then the names of the cast started coming up and people were like, oh, Orlando Bloom, because they were there for Pirates of the, for Lord of the Rings, rather, and people got excited. Anyway, when the trailer announced that fact that the movie was not rated and faded to black for the next trailer, there's a perfect one, two. And then some dad in the middle of the theater yelled, it's going to be rated
Starting point is 02:28:51 arght. And the entire theater erupted into laughter. That is very funny. My question is the following. What is the funniest thing you have ever seen or heard organically in life? Oh my God. Big fucking question. I got a huge question.
Starting point is 02:29:08 I know this. Huge fucking question. I have an answer for this. There was a night, it was like 2003, there was a new Ninja Turtles cartoon. And my friend and I were going to find the new figures at the local Walmart's in Shaumburg, Illinois. And our other friend who wasn't interested in it was just coming along to hang out. And we were walking through a Walmart and we walked by a man just browsing.
Starting point is 02:29:31 I don't know which section it was, but walked by a man and he farted as loud as you could possibly fart in a public place. And it was really funny. But the reason, the reason I say this is the funniest thing like I've ever seen is that my friend who was with us lost his mind laughing to the point of tears streaming down his face in the, like we got into the car, we were all laughing about it. We got in the car, my friend was just crying, laughing, couldn't catch his breath, laughing at this man who farted while we were walking by.
Starting point is 02:30:04 And then to top it off, after like 10 minutes, he calmed down. We went back to our other friend's house, retold the story, and as if it happened for the first time again, our friend burst into laughter and tears streaming down his face, laughing and just, it's like the funniest thing I've ever seen. And I don't think it'll ever be topped. That's really good. Yeah. I've said the funniest thing I've ever seen,
Starting point is 02:30:31 which was walking to UCB and seeing two raccoons fucking. And why did you know this? They were fucking, it was very funny. They were doing it doggy style, I guess you could say. And I got other people, I was like, check this out. And I was like telling other people about the raccoons fucking. And no one seemed to care as much as me, but it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. And I told you why I said, it was funnier than anything I've ever seen at any comedy theater ever.
Starting point is 02:31:04 I've ever seen. You know, similar vibe to that maybe in that, you know, there's people trying to be funny on purpose, but then something organically happened. This is a repeat from our show. It's probably not the funniest thing, but it's what's in my head. That we did this long thing called the city walk saga, which you guys were both. Our Mitch was part of the other with the dentin. Disney and Weigar's been a part of all of them.
Starting point is 02:31:28 But we reviewed every single thing there is to do at Universal City Walk. So we're doing like, we're professionals doing funny, like on purpose comedy about these odd stores. But then I was up there in a store and there were just a bunch of teens walking around. And the, we were looking at like, we were all standing next to this case with nice Universal Studios items. And they had that thing from back to the future to the, that you put the trash in that powers the, the DeLorean, the Mr. Fusion, I think it's called.
Starting point is 02:31:57 And just this like group of more confident than me, teens. One of them said to the others, what's that new slap shop? And then they all ran around the store screaming, laughing, just circles and circles and high fiving each other and just the revelry for what's that? A new slap shop. And I was undeniably like, this is funny or anything we're doing about this. And he said, it's so fat. What's that?
Starting point is 02:32:24 New slap shop? I, it's still in my head. I was just like, boy, I want to be one of these guys. I want to be in their, their crew of confident teens. I have a, I'm having trouble thinking of something, honestly, because it's like, like you, what you guys are saying or making me think of other things, but like, if there's like a singular moment where it's like, oh, that's the single funniest thing I've ever seen. I mean, my answer probably doesn't translate well because it was my friend Corey in college
Starting point is 02:32:55 doing a bit where, do you remember there was like a fucking, it was like a Frisbee, but it was a ring that you throw. I don't know what, what, what the name of that is. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about, right? Yeah. So we're playing, we're playing Frisbee with a hole in it. I was like doughnut.
Starting point is 02:33:10 Yeah. I was like a, like a, like a doughnut style Frisbee. We were playing that and I threw it at him and he missed the grab and it hit him like in the side of the thigh. So like close to his nuts, but not at all, like at his nuts. And he reacted just like it was an extremely painful nut shot and collapsed, like just oh, and I laughed so fucking hard because it was just like, it couldn't have been a nut shot, but like he reacted like it was a nut shot.
Starting point is 02:33:35 Anyway, then he just kept doing that. Like every time I threw it to him, no matter where the Frisbee went, he'd just act like he got hit in the nuts really hard. And it was like when, it was like when a kid does like, like, you know, when you're like two, when like you, you're interacting with like a toddler, like a two year old, and like you keep making the same face and they like never get tired of it. It was like that, except I was like 19. I never got tired of him pretending to get hit in the nuts.
Starting point is 02:33:57 So that was one. But also the farting thing made me think of this mule. Like I saw this mule on the, on a trail in like Colorado, who farted so loud in front of every like, like like a hundred tourists. And just like everyone collectively laughed. It was just like, this is undeniably funny. Not that this mule was shitting, but that he was farting like super loudly. I kind of have one.
Starting point is 02:34:20 I was trying to think of one and I was trying to think of like moments when I was very, like in college or in high school, where you're like really like belly laughing with your friends. And the one that came to mind was actually one where I was kind of a pest. And so, so me and my roommates at the time, and this other guy that was in some of our classes, who I never got along with, we're sitting around like playing poker for no money, like using chips and playing like, like Texas hold them just in like one of the lounges or something one night. And I thought it was just kind of like a fuck around. Get like, no one's seen that invested except this guy.
Starting point is 02:35:06 And so this would have been around the time. If you remember on cable, they showed like poker a lot on like. Oh yeah. Bravo. Yeah. Celebrity poker, world series of poker. So I had learned some of the terms and also like a thing that since I was very young, I thought was very funny was like talking in an old timey this guy voice. Oh yeah. Love it.
Starting point is 02:35:33 And so we were sitting there playing poker and I just started going like, oh wow, that's the river. I can't wait to see the flop. And like just doing that voice and he just got started a little mad, but just got progressively more and more angry. And I would just wait, I would speak normally. And as the game would go on every now and then I would go like, oh, that's too bad. I really fumbled that hand. He'd go like, stop doing that.
Starting point is 02:36:00 And then at a certain point I had let enough time go by that I did it again. And I was like, oh, we're going to have to 23 skidoo. They're going to close the land suit. And like, he just like kicked the table across the room. He was just so angry. And I was like, man, what are you doing? We're like just playing for, we're playing for nothing. We just had nothing to do on a Friday night.
Starting point is 02:36:26 Like this isn't serious. Like every now and then would be one guy who would get so into like those pick up like card games, you know? Well, Jason, I love that yours. The funniest thing you've seen is you making a person in range. That's good though. But I was just like, I mean, the guy was kind of a jerk anyway. And I was just like, he just got so inflamed.
Starting point is 02:36:54 And yeah, I've just never forgot that like table kick. Like he was just waiting to do it, you know? Do you guys have any memorable like things? And the specific setup of this email was that someone was in a movie theater and something funny was yelled out. Do you guys have any memories of that has ever happened to you? Or have you been on either side of that? Just happened at the highly anticipated, well, not an avatar way of water is on the way.
Starting point is 02:37:25 And in preparation for that, I saw it at that city walk yet again. I saw the original avatar, the re-release in IMAX. And things were kind of settling down because it was getting into the sex scene. The much, much buzzed about, I guess, that used to have the connection of the dreadlocks or whatever that they're not anymore. But like, I feel like that sex scene is a little notorious. And it was clearly getting into it. Like they'd kind of locked eyes and it was getting a little sultry.
Starting point is 02:37:57 And somebody just yelled, oh, shit, and destroyed, destroyed in the theater. People were like, so reverent to this movie. And I'm watching people like almost tear up. And everybody wants the next avatar to be really good. And somehow he came in with, oh, shit, and like demolished. And I loved it, too. I couldn't believe it. You got to be careful with movie theater yelling.
Starting point is 02:38:21 You could bomb, so you get chased out of the place. But oh, yeah, nailed it. Yeah. You know, one of my favorite things is a kind of a reverse version of that is our friend Nick Mundy, where there was this, you know, we go to PWG, which is a pro wrestling guerrilla when it was in Recita in the small American Legion, which has now been torn down. And apartments are put up there. But he went, one of the first times that he went, he tried to get an ironic USA chant going.
Starting point is 02:38:52 And it's a small place. So like everybody hears if you speak loudly during a match. So he just started going USA. And he got booed by the entire room. All four of us people immediately booed him and shut him down. And it's one of the funniest, like reverse versions of something working in a room. I was sitting next to him. That was one of the first PWGs you took me to, Carlson.
Starting point is 02:39:14 And yeah, that was a fucking, that was hilarious. That's so fucking funny. Yeah.
