Forever Dog lounge today on podcast the ride welcome to podcast the ride the theme podcast, which today will spend at least 30 minutes on the topic of spherical ice. My name is Mike Carlson. Joining me as always, Jason Sheridan. Hello. And Scott Gairdner. Oh, yeah, finally. About fucking time. It's been two years and we really haven't gotten deep into the spherical ice yet. No.

We may have mentioned it, but we haven't really talked about exactly. We've ignored one of the best things on property for so long. Not today. Not today. And I also know our guest is a big fan of spherical ice. I assume. I actually could be wrong about that. I mean, it's interesting you think that because, well, I'll tell you.

You've seen my feelings about it. I guess I have. Maybe I'm misremembering. Do you pick up and break spherical ice Every time you see it nobody lifted out Of my drink Yeah that's true it's too hard to navigate that's The voice of Aaron Whitehead everyone

You know her from wild horses And various other things around Hollywood She's here to I guess Paper off you know You know Things Creative stuff creative Endeavors from aspirations you know you know you know the things the things you know her from stuff creative stuff creative endeavors from aspirations you know her from her aspirations you know her dreams

her wishes some of the most famous dreams out there are aaron from her black and white headshots you keep black and white you didn't upgrade no, I decided to stay with them. I look the same. Sure. Yeah. Yeah, if they work. Is there a reason why people, why they stopped being, I feel like they aren't black and white as often. They aren't. No.

I don't know why that changed. Well, I think it just probably became easier to make color copies when digital became a thing. That's a good point. Oh, sure. Because when I first got them done, there was a curtain over the photographer. No. And it was the floor.

It was doctor. And then you had an arrow through your head. And the bulb shattered when it went off. Yes. Yeah. That's on your face. It's a rough process back then. No, but it was like film film.

Like I did drive back to the location to pick up the actual negatives from the photographer and then go get them printed somewhere right it was a whole thing and the photographer was not just an improviser you kind of knew which is no he was like a photographer photographer he wasn't like an improviser was like oh shit i gotta make some money okay uh let's buy a camera okay those uh i mean we won't name names but those are some fun headshots. The people look like pancakes. It's brilliant. No lighting, completely flat, paid only $300. An improviser that looks like a pancake? I don't believe it. Listen, I'll tell you who it was, but after the podcast.

Yeah. Because that outs the photographer and the person. Of course. Not the first time that phrase will be said today. It's my favorite thing to say. This way I don't have to email you and go, could you cut this out? Because that's usually what I have to do after every podcast.

No editing as you go. I'm going to just write as we go who I think everyone you're talking about is and then we'll match it up at the end. Do some guesses. And they'll see like what my score is. Let's see if I can get 100%. That's fine. Let's agree right now. Do we cut the inevitable Lasseter

chunk or do we just go into it and have fun with it? Lasseter. John Lasseter. Oh, it's not inevitable. I just know like the ghost of Lasseter haunted this place. Well, so John Lasseter was the head of Pixar and he was fired. You know any of this? No, I should have done my research. No, it's OK. That's he's really not. He like he was like overseeing the parks and he was overseeing pixar and then uh he was fired essentially fired let go uh because he was like he would hug women too long and he would like intimidate them in like kind of a bizarre way like during like meetings and stuff and he sounds like that's the women's interpretation he seems like a pretty nice guy i mean of course that's what i'm going on it's all about intent it's not how it's taken

okay yeah i just want to put that out there um i think the multi-year uh reign of fear he instilled in multiple companies probably probably put him over the edge female companies there's also there's also a story where like when he went to new york i don't think i have to cut this but maybe i do he went to new york you know this uh and he was like you know on some press junket with all the women playing fairies of the disney fairies uh they had to send a handler with him because they were worried he was going to drink too much and get too handsy and weird with the women who voiced the fairies but in your do you hold a fairy but in your hand? They're tiny. They're incredibly

hard to manage if you don't use your hands. I mean, they're not trained. They're wild. They're feral fairies, you know. This poor guy, I swear to God. Men have it hard. I can't anymore with this. The abusive men in this town. Aaron, don't worry. He is working again in another animation studio.

How long do I have to disappear is what I'm asking. How long is the break he did? He had a tough four months. Four months? That's a third of a year. I know. All he had was his winery and unlimited money. His drunken semester.

His Oscars and many awards. His closet full of a thousand hawaiian shirts and his dick and his little dick i like that you said do i have to cut this out is like like how do you know these stories do you know this like from a friend of his or no this is on like hollywood reporter then this seems hollywood reporter so it's out there it's out there it's a little dick though i don't know that could be slander well but all dicks are kind of little that's true we mean we don't mean his specifically like dicks are kind of little dicks not uh it's not two feet uh wide no that's true they're all pretty little god i hope not we all have little dicks because dicks are little yeah don't sue us good save scott yeah just in general the body part is little

that's all that's all yeah that's true can't argue with that anyway we just i just jason's pensive face over here stroking his beard like all men are gonna sue for slander what do i want to add to this uh yeah eric eric i haven't seen you in a little while it's been a while has your dick gotten bigger no i was going to say i i'm trying to exercise uh restraint a little more in my older age than I do when I'm this younger. I know, it's an intriguing development. I feel like I've probably grown in areas too, but I don't know what yet. So as the podcast goes, you and I will get to know each

other again. See where you're at today. See what our respective therapists have. Let's work it off. I left mine. I'm freewheeling. You're adrift. The three of you were all on an improv team together?

Yeah. It's been a while. This is a reunion of sorts. Who's been on the show who was on that team? Anthony Geo. Anthony Geo. Tracy Strickland. Zach Reno. Zach Reno.

Okay. We'll get everyone. Everyone will. Yeah. Good lineup. Yeah. It's like years ago everyone. Everyone will. Yeah. Good lineup. Yeah. It was, it's like years ago. It's five years ago.

It's been. It's six years. But when did it, that it was over? That it was over. That it was unceremoniously taken off the night? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's an invalid.

Now I will publicly talk about. I'm so sorry to our listeners who are dealing with this improv talk. I'm so sorry to our listeners who have to listen to this. But it took a few years for me to go like, what a stupid fucking time. Like what a bad decisions people made. It took you three years to say. I feel like I remember you saying that the day it happened. No, no. But like publicly.

Oh, publicly. Well, we all were very good. We were like, no one fucking says anything on social media no matter what happens. And that was very smart of us, I feel. We did not have the bitter or impassioned goodbye to Harold Knight post. I do love them, though. I didn't realize Harold Times had come around this year. And I somehow caught in my feed a bunch of goodbye speeches.

And I'm like, I didn't even know you were on Harold Knight. But this is fantastic. I love the goodbyes like leaving social media or saying goodbye to a celebrity who you met once and can prove that you did with one photo leaving herald night's got to be like a number three in terms of monologue prompter yeah i think for a lot of great content yeah um we yeah we didn't want to use of multi-part rants where you get the one and the slash like the slash and with the question mark You don't know when it's going to end

Twitter specifically yes when it goes There's ten posts about what it means To be on Herald Night Twitter's the worst place to do it where you have to do like one of sixteen Two of sixteen Good lord It's a good multipart prompt The Instagram one's a no limit

Oh sure yeah yeah you can go and go. A novel. And if people click the dot, dot, dot, they know what they're getting into. And I, oh, I click. You always click. Never not clicked on a dot, dot, dot. You gotta see it. What are these dots about?

I think we should post a teary farewell now. Now would be good. Six or seven years later. Dead and loving it. Six years later. Yeah. The perspective we've gleaned from 10 paragraphs that was the joke that was the bit we did we we would refer to it as dead and loving it but that

was still for that was years later yes yeah yeah yeah we were anyway that's another cop podcast i'm sorry everyone spent the last six years then just going to the carthay circle lounge and drinking yourselves i mean no joke we did do that for a while that was it was a little while cathartic that we was cathartic at carthay no that's not that does work though there's a way though that must be why it was cathartic carthay take carthay take uh yeah so we would just yeah we would just drink for years to get over the pain of it and it was a great place because you could say as i have my problem of saying first and last names too loudly in public spaces there was no one who would have overheard us who would care like it wasn't like when i would accidentally do it in silver lake and be like accidentally accidentally

the only people you can't insult at the Carthay Lounge Are Joe Rohde And who's another imagineer Tony Scott Trowbridge Yeah just don't go talking shit on Scott Trowbridge Yeah I wouldn't want the Floridian tourists to overhear That

Oh my ears Yeah so yeah we would go hang out here Oh we didn't even talk do we talk about what we're doing yet no well it was probably at the i mean we intro the teaser that we have yet to do but that's you know and it's in the the title presumably i forgot how the show works but you hinted with the spherical eyes i mean how many places can you get people know what they're getting into but there is a clarification we have to make which is yeah that we're talking about the lounge not the restaurant okay so today we're talking about carthay circle lounge not the restaurant i mean

we can talk about it it's just that that's not the topic right it'll maybe look we're all about micro topic divisions i don't like rules i don't like i don't want boundaries i walk through the restaurant and if i want to talk about what it looks like I think I should I will And the bathrooms I love the bathrooms That's fine but we might Glare at you while there might be a lot I can take a glare

I don't know have you seen our glares A lot of judgment in our glares Although our glares are like we dart our eyes Away a lot Like your dog it's more of fear yeah yeah shared a lot of traits with edwin but why did this did this rule come up because are you just more versed in the lounge well when mike and i were emailing about it i said just an fyi like i would love to talk about this because it is my it is one of my Very favorite places in the park

But I have not actually eaten dinner There because you have to have a reservation and we never planned That far ahead that's right you gotta look pretty Far probably for that unless there's Like a little last minute free up So yeah and all I really want Is three big Manhattans Hell yeah

Well let's see if we're going Toe to toe I don't think I could handle three. I'm like. We only did three a couple of times, but it was great. I would love to. I think I'd be a total fucking mess. As much as I'm defined as the drunk of the show, I don't like more than two. I cannot handle.

I think I've only. Have we done? Did we do three? I don't know. Maybe two. But I feel like there was a time where we just were like yeah why not i mean because our conversations i don't know if we're getting into this at this point but like we can go whatever we would fucking get into it

i loved those conversations it was my favorite conversations maybe ever wow the car they lounge i was not there for these what you describing, but I know what you're talking about. This is a place where you get in. You had alcohol and hadn't talked before? Yes. But you're saying she's drinking. But specifically this lounge? Yeah, I think I've had like big old deep bonding moments at Carthay. And I think there's something about the Manhattans that get it out of you too.

And that's for a coping drink for me a couple years back when I was going through bed shit. Like there's something about i don't know it's like the the super sugary nature of it it just like loosens the brain treat too it's like a really like you're paying so much money for this really delicious well-crafted cocktail like it's and it's not like it's not like doing shots where you just want to get the alcohol in it's like a yeah ritual with it it's a ritual they make them very well there it's also like you're whenever we would go we would like we would do the park all day it's like you've been standing in lines you've been small talking

in the lines you know like you're in like little kid mode and then you have that like hit the wall moment where you're like we might need to go home and instead we go to carthay come back i do remember maybe the first time you went with us uh and i do remember you being like i'm real tight i'm like i'm ready and then we went to carthay and we came out when you come out of carthay it's like you've been born again oh my god born it's like you started the park all over yes this is where this is where going to disneyland as a kid and as an adult changes yes yeah and it's a big when i talk to other people about like there's a lot of people that still go like why do you want to go who cares about it why

do you want to go to disneyland so much 100 there's two things that people are making fun of a lot these days it's the people who people who go to go to uh disneyland a lot adults and then uh girls who are into horses and i'm like so you've heard a joke 40 times and now you think it's free reign to act as if you made the joke up? It's the most annoying. It's like the Twitter thing where someone's like, I'm not going to make that joke. I've seen it twice. But now that I've seen it 500 times, I'll make it.

Yeah. It's like cop shows or procedural shows on TV too. It's the same thing where it's like once there's a couple versions of something that everyone does it. Now they'll just do it. Yeah. Or the, I think I threw up in my mouth a little line. Like suddenly that joke is just free.

It's like it became public domain joke or something. That's not even a thing. Yeah. Is that even a thing? I can hear you. Yeah. We're just trashing all our friends who have actual writing jobs right now.

Yeah. They've all used that hacky shit. That's fine. They got paid for it. They don't care. Yeah, it's fine. Yeah. For them, it is it is a job i mean they would like to go home like yeah do you know how many if jason had a staff writing job how many of those he would use every day all of them every day i mean depending on the show if it's a network show they're gonna be like yeah that's good that's

great this jason knows what he's doing it's possible that the head of nbc is asking for really and uh is that a thing and oh yeah well they might be wanting to be replacing better jokes yeah yeah for sure i could see like a persnickety actor on set going like this is too i can't score with this i need something that'll get me to score or is that a thing, I just saw that in a trailer recently. Yeah. Let's do that. Or they improvised it. Yeah.

They improvised a real funny line. I think that's where a lot of the is that a thing comes from. I'm sure. Because it feels like such a bad acting improv thing. Like when they ask actors to improvise and what they do is they get flatter and flatter in tone as they go back and forth and the sentences get shorter and shorter like yeah it is my desk chair is it it is chair yeah office cool duh okay or the the thing that i love this is very like again again one of those that was fine when it began. The first few on The Office of, you know. So, Jan is coming in today.

And so, Michael's pretty on edge. And so, he's making everybody wear these costumes. So, that's. And then they don't finish the sentence. But I feel like The Office is what started it. And they did it in a way that actually was like a person who didn't know how to finish their sentence yes yeah and then people did the pale imitation of that which was it sounds cool if i don't finish my sentence like there was no intent behind where it's done because the emperor the person could not actually think of an ending to that so the trail off is the and it was

just like this is the this is the formula yeah yeah i didn't know i that's where i like i'm not holding that against the office i think that's more like the many sub iterations of office yeah since then yeah yeah it's like on snickers commercials now it's like the commercials always catch a blast usually to the trend as well yes so like whatever was 10 years ago now the execs are like whoa these fresh jokes where did these come from i mean the sonic ads are essentially the office in a car yeah well those have been on for longer than the office have they i think oh my god the office ripped off sonic ads is what you're saying mike i mean yeah i guess they probably ripped off the british office if we're talking about the american one

did they rip off the British Sonic ads? Or the British Sonic? They were drier. I love Tater Tots. Yeah, they were. I'd love to get a 69 with my Tater Tots. Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry in the car doing Sonic commercials. Can you imagine?

They were very young. The first few British Sonic ads are a little rough to get through. And I even had to watch them with subtitles because they're so british yeah but it picks up and they end up being the greatest set of commercials you ever seen how do we get what how do we get talking about this this guy too well we're always waiting around any turn of these complaints we're all like uh happy to talk about this you were talking about the hackiness of uh uh adults at disneyland the joke oh yeah i

interrupted you is what happened no i don't remember that well i think the cart yeah i was thinking the cart day is one of those things where yes when you when you encounter people like you're going to disneyland again so you go to disneyland what like are you a child molester what's up with like when you in the rare case that you encounter that judgment from people, you go like, oh, yeah, why would you want to go to a place, have wonderful drinks, bond with your friends, then go on a crazy mechanical marvel? I can't get my head around why you wouldn't want to. That also, that leap that people make where it's like you're going to disneyland what do you do fuck kids you weirdo it's like whoa whoa buddy i guess the questions i get are somewhat different no one's ever asked if i was gonna molest kids yeah i i have to admit i've

never had that moment specifically but you know that's the intonation we had it oh i thought it was more like you're just a sad child person like you're a sad it means that you're locked in perennial child state and that's all that it could possibly mean it can't mean like i like going to really good bars and eating good food and having a good time with friends but i feel like a lot of the complaints too also come from like it's like well what do you do man what do you do you go to the same like six dog shit places in silver lake all the time and burn money there but i will say i get the confusion because it was when i went with you guys i really was like i don't know how you go so often like i truly could not wrap my mind around it because i hadn't been since i was a

kid and i did remember it being really fun but mostly a super tiring day and like yeah and as an adult too i do get to a point tiring day and like yeah and as an adult too i do get to a point where i'm like i do want to sit around and talk i'm kind of tired of like standing in lines sure yeah and like so when we did it that's when i was like oh you take a siesta yes you get your like deep great conversations and you have actually good drinks it's not like and also they didn't have this when we were kids like disneyland did used to be like you couldn't go into a great bar or get good food you were getting like a mouse burger like that was as good as it got i don't know what the drinking situation was in the 80s and 90s but i bet it was a little

more there was a wine cooler at the hotel it was at the maybe hotel but you have to go all the way to the hotel because there was no disney california yeah yes and there was no bars and there's still no bars i mean i haven't been to star wars so Wars, but there was nowhere you would drink. I mean, also I was eight, so I wasn't worried about it, but yeah. What was up in like Epcot? Could you always drink in Epcot? Well, that's Florida though. Yeah. I think so. I think in Epcot you could always drink, but yeah, out here. But I bet it wasn't good drinks yet. I don't think like quality cocktails came to Disney. Well, craft cocktails wasn't even a thing like it was because like our parents didn't drink cocktails that was a beer that was the beer

wine generation like our generation is the one that brought back cocktails from whatever the 60s from jason's generation from jason's generation yeah yeah uh from me and from madison avenue and from madison avenue it was pure white from bill frawley uh days let's drink like bill frawley again yeah into the right into the grave he could and he could handle 16 manhattans and for sure he would do it every day uh aaron you spent uh some of your childhood growing up in southern california yeah yeah um so did you guys go to the parks regularly or yeah we went to disney my mom would sometimes um like take us out of school so we could go on a weekday and not do the the weekend crowds oh sure

she would let each of us invite a friend um wow i know so you would get friends out of school too we get friends out of school too we get friends out of school so we would do that and i remember once she took just me and my sister it was for my sister's birthday i think and she had this is when the rules of the park were very different and so she had had like a little cotton duffel bag and she'd packed our lunches and packed cupcakes because it's like single mom bringing two kids it's like very expensive to buy food all day of course yeah they would not they searched her bag and wouldn't let her bring the food into the park and threw all of it out which now they can't do now i'm sure it's like there's enough like diabetics and people

with food allergies and whatnot that you can't do that but at the time they threw all her like homemade food out she somehow managed to like hide the cupcakes and we had the cupcakes but like it was very she was like i remember her like being very upset about it which you would when you have like two little kids in tow and suddenly you're going to be buying like multiple snacks and lunch and yeah um do you remember why they did that you weren't allowed to bring food into the park huh i wonder what did that change and then at a certain well i don't know at a certain point you could bring food in but they ushered you over to the picnic area was it just right it was like a concrete slab with no shade like it was it was just like crazy place and you could not eat anywhere else in the park and now it's like you can you can bring yeah anything in

right right yeah the wise yeah i always bring a cliff bar some nuts or something just because like when you start to hit that wall yeah well i haven't been in a while but now i'm on like a crazy diet so i'd have to i would have to bring everything I've ate into the park. Oh, wow. Really? And mouse burger is not on the diet. I wish mouse burgers on the diet. I love a mouse burger.

Yeah. They're fun. They don't have, but they never had a thing. Have they? That is like Mickey shaped and the bun and the patty or both. It's shocking that they didn't. It is. The mouse burgers, as as i recall were just burgers

called mouse burgers yeah probably and maybe made out of rodent who knows magic dogs yeah they may have had a little piece of mouse in them there was a probably inadvertently had some yeah some mice parts but they fell into the fryer my memory as a kid was a lot of burgers and pizza and i just remember my parents being so happy like two on days where we had dinner or lunch reservations of like thank god we don't have to have a burger or pizza today right right and then when i first started it first came out here like 12 13 years ago uh i was so impressed by the uh variety of food at disneyland and stuff but whenever i tell someone that it's like yeah mid-2000s is when the food started to get good it was not it was never before it was really like you were very limited to all the fantasyland type little spots which

were like as a kid it's like amazing like you go in and it looks like you're in an old you know snow white type type place and like it's so cool but the food really was right pretty gross yes the base basic standard issue disneyland fries remain so shitty yes that's true unless you're at like a higher end place sure yes but like a normal yeah good fries at a lamplighter these what were the freedom fries for a while did they do do Freedom Fries? Did Disney call them Freedom Fries? Disney called them Freedom Fries.

I remember because when it happened, my mom was like so, it was just insanity. This is the Bush Jr. era. Yeah. They did it? Even though they had a French park. This was at this SoCal Disneyland Freedom Fries

I mean it was the little Like stands Where you would get the fries But that's all Disney They had Well they And that was around the time When they had

I think McDonald's Still in the park They would have like A big McDonald's fry I remember Yeah So I'm sure they had Variety

Different variety of fries In the park They renamed Lumiere Freedom Candle Reject his voice Yeah but he had Like Toby Keith's voice renamed Lumiere Freedom Candle. Reject his voice. Yeah, but he had like Toby Keith's voice. Freedom Candle, what's up?

Hello, Belle. Good to meet ya. Hey, Beast, let's roll. The name's Loomer. Loomer the Freedom Candle. Here's a song. Red song red white and blue flames yeah be our guest is a country jam now it's called be our guest parentheses come on in be our guest come on in big and rich provided the uh he was voiced by both big and rich at the same time they combine their voices

to speak at exactly the same clip it was better though yeah you know it's a good time uh but here in 2019 yes we have a we have a wonderful but i i've just i'm glad you feel the same way and i think this you could almost just this could have been the episode about the carthay manhattan specifically which i feel like we're probably in agreement and well i don't know it's up for debate whether well i would i would call that the best uh theme park beverage alcoholic beverage yeah adult libations as our uh i wouldn't argue as every other do you know about this every we're the only theme park podcast that will just say drinks you get drink you get drunk you get drunk with drinks uh every other theme park podcast like we've had a couple of adults libations let's

just say oh they won't say alcohol as their as if there's children listening to their adults talking about seriously about podcast many seven-year-olds hearing updates about like the saratoga springs hotel renovation yeah but i think it eats similar to the comedy thing where like one person did it and then it just became ubiquitous it was like a you know a stone rolling down a hill just picking up moss. Yeah, probably. It does seem like an ingrained kind of we're good boys type of comedy. Yeah.

But don't go insulting being a good boy. This is a phrase we have owned. The phrase, yeah. The listeners call us that. Oh, I did not realize. That's okay. Before the movie. This was before the movie. I didn't know there was a movie in my mind i was thinking about like i feel like guys who were raised

christian specifically but then aren't anymore but then still have the guilt so i'm basically describing you guys who wear uh jeans with little athletic socks with really cheap Hanes but it feels like I can do bad adult things I just won't say the words mommy sure yes I did a thing with a girl with my thing where I put it in her thing you know mommy

mommy I'll say fucking and drinking I'll say say all day and then they whip themselves when they get home yes uh we are the the we're very good boys but we are the baddest boys in theme park podcast yeah yeah people who willingly call themselves good boys who've embraced that title are still the baddest boys and yeah we're squeaky clean by comedy podcast standards and disgusting by theme park standards yeah it's good to know in what context you're you're being considered yeah now i understand you gotta know your angles good uh our our buddy doug barnes on the season pass has been very nice and was plugging us a couple times but he'd always be like now there's gonna be some language on their

show some way yeah so so like they do get a little foul but so even the fact that's one of my favorite things is when people can't even bring themselves to say swearing like even swearing feels like it's referring too closely to bad words so it's language yes you do the work yes and like when we started someone warned us it's like hey just because like the podcast we're gonna mark it explicit because if we don't like even if you curse once or twice itunes will like flag it if it's not marked explicit hmm so people see that oh yeah the mega theme park fans see that e and get a little alarmed i never knew what that e was for and i never questioned it yeah i thought it was excellent thank you that's how i view it but uh there wasn't early on i feel like we had a podcast review that said like if you could cool it on the language i would recommend it to my mom

i feel like there was something along the lines of that yeah what motherfucker said that we'll never know shit head bitch this is i'm every too far scott aaron is allowed to say that but not you you're one of us like it sounds like something someone full of rage spits out when like they lose their mind like you were in like a car and like you came from the office and like you had your meltdown that day well keep in mind as you as you correctly assessed i was i was raised christian so the rage is always exploding and deeply deeply shoved down have i talked on the podcast before about how my sister um didn't understand how swearing worked? Was like so like

we've already used the swear word as a big deal, but so much more Christian than I that she truly didn't even know what the words meant and things hit came to a boiling point once and she went well, bitch, all right. Like as if bitch was shit. Oh my God. She just didn't even know how to

place it. Bitch you. Like she had had them so deeply repressed that it was just a pool of words without actual meaning. She never heard an example of how one is used. That's very funny. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I will never forget. What a fuck. Bitch. All right. I won't use the, I won't, I won say shb about my sister that's for sure of course now i'm self-censoring right right to her credit though that is the fun thing about any swear word is that like you can use it incorrectly and people just go yeah okay hmm like if i called you a fuck yeah suddenly that's fine and like her going well bitch suddenly i'm like i don't know

i'll buy it i find i feel like it i feel like if you have well bitch suddenly i'm like i don't know i'll buy it i find i feel like i feel like if you have the anger behind it it works i don't know how anyone is like eloquently profane because i think if i truly hit a rage but you're right the shithead bitch is a perfect example yeah i'm never eloquent pretty stupid i one of my favorite things is when i'm driving is to hear the things that come out of my mouth because i'm like my brain is like still focused enough on the driving but then the rage comes up and like it's none of it makes sense like i came i don't even know if i can like approximate one because i'm always like i hear it and i'm like wow that was you i'm like you fund cuck licker and i'm like oh you got the words wrong

you crap farter that makes sense yeah it's very hard to not make sense on purpose yeah um so we were talking about the drinks being the best and i agree that manhattan is the best of the ones i've had lindsey k tie she likes the gin and she loves the dill gin and tonic and is obsessed with it and it's so obsessed with it she has the ingredients to make it here yeah but it does look really good i'm not a i'm not a big gin and tonic fan yeah i do like the herbal twist that they put on it literally that is what stops me i i would like to try that especially given how much she digs it but i i'm there i can't not have the manhattan it is hard yeah it is hard if you're If you're there, you want the best one.

I should try it at home. And you leave your sphere, your ice sphere in your drink? Oh, of course I do. I'm a big sphere fan. And in fact, I've been doing the spheres at home. He bought a sphere maker. I bought sphere. And we did a little Carthay Manhattan night one time.

Yes. We had to be made. I got four little plastic sphere makers that are not you're not getting the quality of the sphere that you'd be getting at the cart they lounge at home because because it's not clear that's i think a very hard thing to do is get clear ice it requires like science uh but i had four i have four little plastic guys to make spheres and just for weeks ahead of time we were were making them, taking them out of the mall, building a stockpile of spheres, which we had in our fridge for a while.

Like very dangerous snowballs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Certainly. If you guys came over, I could have killed you that night. That's true. My issue with them is like, so the Manhattan is not a drink that's supposed to be served on the rocks. I've seen this criticism in preparing for this. Okay, all right, you've seen it.

I get it. No, no, one else have I said that you can add, I've seen that. Sorry, I love to know. I love to know. Sorry, I missed that. You're saying that Manhattan is not, is served on the rocks or not?

No, it's not a drink that's served on the rocks. I mean, some- Oh, an old fashioned is served on the rocks. An old fashioned is. Yeah that's served on the rocks i mean oh an old-fashioned is served on the rocks yeah okay and so i mean i've certainly like occasionally if you're in a bad bar they'll serve it on the rock but that's wrong it's it's it's not supposed to be served up it's served up yeah and it's stirred not shaken not shaken when they shake it i once heard myself this is again like the driving i was at a bar and i ordered a manhattan he didn't serve it on the rocks but he shook it and I went,

and he goes, are you okay? And I was like, yeah, I'm fine. I was like, why would you do that? Why would you shake? It's this guy

and it has a foam on it and it tastes totally different. It's so weird to me. That's why the shake and not stirrge with James Bond's martini like is watering down like the alcohol.

Some drinks you are supposed to shake. But I would think a martini would be another that you wouldn't. I don't know. No, you're not really supposed to. So James Bond was a moron. Yeah, that's true. He was showing his true classlessness. Sure. Despite what you might think. When you take this

beer out, were you doing it because of tradition? No because I don't like To me I don't like ice in any Drink because it waters it down So it's like slowly As it melts makes the drink more And more diluted and it takes Away the taste I don't like that so I take it Out immediately so it's cold but

Not going to dilute my drink And then you put it in your pocket to throw it And then I put it in my child later or a masca or a yeah or pluto who you meet outside the restaurant your least favorite disney character right right learn to talk you shithead bitch or his horse collar uh so i my drink of choice, I usually, at the Carthay, I usually opt for the Scotch Mist. Oh, yeah, that's right. Which is pretty much all I. It is supposedly Walt's drink of choice.

It's called Walt's Scotch Mist. Walt's Scotch Mist, yes. And it said, it used to say it was made with black and white scotch, which to clarify, I always thought that was two different kinds of scotches. And then someone, a listener told me like, no, that is the brand of scotch.

You just don't see it around that much anymore. So it's black and white scotch over crushed ice with a twist. Does it have a mist of anything on it? Like a, like a different alcohol or anything? Not really. No. And scotch itself is the mist. It doesn't. scotch it doesn't it doesn't no it doesn't it's

just it's just scotch over crushed ice with a twist of lemon uh which i like and i like i don't really like drinks served up because i feel like they hit me really hard and i've never had much of a tolerance so i need the ice um you like the dilute i like the dilution yeah now though the menu says for that drink it's johnny walker black over ice which is a decent that's a fine like scotch like that's fine most bars that is like the regular decent scotch but it's a little less special to me because you can the price stay the same pretty much i mean now that's tricky yes yeah and mainly you're not getting waltz experience they're breaking waltz wishes his brand i wonder if you go to what's the bar that i always wanted to go to the special one the club 33 yeah yeah do they have the black and white

probably i don't know no they have we did go and they had an insane drink. Did you go with Garland? No. No. We went with the Crafts. The people who ran the That's From Disneyland exhibit. There was a museum where there were a bunch of, like a guy was selling all of his Disney rides. And then we did a show there and then we got to go to Club 33. Oh, cool. And the little private Club 33 next to Carthay Lounge called 1901.

Oh, my God. I didn't even know about this one. They all have numbers. When you're there, look off to the right. And there's a little door nobody's going into. And that's 1901. Yes. 1901's pretty fucking cool.

I've heard the opinion and I think I might have the opinion. Maybe 1901 cooler than Club 33. It's smaller. It's like a little study it's like you're in walt's study but you went in there yeah did you drink in there i had a manhattan in there and i will say this the manhattan in there was not as good as the manhattan in the lounge wow i mean sometimes that's a bartender thing yeah that's true thing but also it was prepared table side and we got to see the sphere being made which it was made

in an old fashioned way it was a contraption with a very heavy weight that just slowly crushed a cube of ice into a sphere oh I didn't I would never have guessed that's how they were doing it it's pretty nuts it is like a gravity physics driven

simple machine that slowly lowers onto a block and makes a sphere. It's like Superman making a diamond. Yeah. It's just as beautiful. I think maybe that's what, maybe some of the appeal, because as you say this, you're right, it is, the sphere is watering

down the drink, but I just like looking at it so much. Don't get me wrong. It's pretty, if I'm going to have ice in a drink, I want big ice. I have the big square ones at my home. Yes. But I don't get me wrong it's pretty i love if i'm gonna have ice in a drink i want big ice i have the big square ones at my at my home yes yeah but i don't ever use them okay sure but they're there like if i make a mojito i would use ice a drink like that that's more naturally right um but yeah manhattan yeah manhattan i see what you're saying like is anywhere else you get a manhattan and it's it's probably probably just the, it's just the liquid. Yeah, it's chilled.

Yeah. But it's not. Yeah, yeah. I think I just, I love looking, I love looking at how clear that thing is. Because I looked at it, I was like, if we had to do, if we wanted to do true clear ice for having you guys over, what would we have to do? And there was like a place downtown where he could have done it and each ice sphere would have cost like ten dollars oh my i was like there's a real there's a real art to it apparently yeah not just any civilian just like using like distilled water or spring water like that wouldn't know there's something to do with like boiling it too i think you may

have to pour it in boiling i don't know my cousin is a big drink guy like his whole instagram is cocktails and he make he now makes like a side living off of whatever promoting alcohols through his instagram but um he knows how to make the super clear ice but it is it's like it took him like a long time to perfect okay okay do you guys when you make coffee do you use tap or spring or filtered water i use tap filter just okay i don't make coffee i feel like just but i will say i boil and do pour over so i'm already boiling it yeah like i'm not pointing you know like it's i'm not putting cold water into the into a machine because i don't use one right but that pour over at home is probably a good idea i have not gone that way i feel like like, does it improve the quality of life?

Well, it improves the, I mean, it makes a really good cup of coffee, but it also like limits you. If I make a pot of coffee, I'm drinking it. And then I'm going to feel impending doom and like all the things that happen when you drink too much coffee. If I make myself do a pour over, I'm like, that's it. You got one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sure. Okay. Okay. I feel like you have pretty strong tolerance for like coffee and liquor i have never had that i need strong coffee but i can't do a ton of it like i like i can do one or two strong coffees after that i truly it's like my eyes turn into raisins and like i can't see the horizon everything's scary like awful um i'm a big time coffee lightweight like very much yeah

Yeah you can act I'm glad to hear you Describing that you can get like weird and Paranoid and scared the I'm afraid of cold Brew oh cold brew actually so now that's The only thing I can drink Because I'm on this crazy diet for like IBD and cold brew I read

Was like I was off coffee for five months which was the worst Time of my life I had no personality and I didn't know what anything was. And I would see friends and think, this is what boring people feel like. No thoughts are arising in my mind. Like I have to just pretend to have things to say. Thank fucking God he started the coffee again. And now I'm back to normal. But then I read, so I read that cold brew is like better for people with IBD because it's less acidic.

So I tried it and it has been fine so far oh that's good yeah yeah i make it at home and you can heat it so it's like you can have hot coffee oh it just has to be brewed cold yeah so you don't trip it's not scary just got afraid i genuinely well this for a while i was in the cold brew and i remember i had it at earwolf and it was like the most disgusting watered down thing it was like the emperor wears no clothes like they were all excited about the word and they're like the cool brew we have cold brew and i was like this is gross you guys don't know you're drinking anything gross i feel yeah some of the ones they sell in stores it is either gross or i'm just like it's like drinking concentrate where it's so wired groundwork

cold brew is the best okay and they sell the concentrate at gelson's and probably other places and you just mix it with like whatever milk you would use it with or you can mix it with water but i wouldn't yeah um or you can just buy their bottles which are just their cold brew but not concentrate i just do regular grounds like half a cup to four cups of water and put it in the fridge overnight. And then French press that. Yeah, that's how you make it. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. We should. That's my little. But that's pretty weak. It sounds like. It's pretty weak. Yeah. Coffee at the parks.

Let's tie it back in. What do you get? I still have never gotten a coffee at the park. Really? Which is shocking for me. But I think it's because I go caffeinated and I don't want the impending doom at Disney yeah sure yeah yeah I've gotten some of

the coffee drinks at Carthay I really good yeah they put if you like like I like coffee with amaretto I can't believe you can drink coffee that late in the day although that

actually that sounds so good if you do it with the amaretto then you're getting like you're getting this the chill of the alcohol but then a little bit of a buzz so you can drink coffee that late in the day. Although, actually, that sounds so good. If you do it with the Amaretto, then you're getting the chill of the alcohol, but then a little bit of a buzz so you can go on more rides. Yes. That sounds good. I like that.

Or, yeah, they have, I feel like they always switch up the coffee drinks. It's always some sort of liqueur. I never even noticed what they had there. Somebody, Andrew Grissom got an Irish coffee one time. It looked pretty solid. That's like whiskey and coffee? Mm-hmm. I feel like that's the only thing though is i mean i haven't had it with amaretto but anytime i've had the coffee with liquor drink i'm like this is making both of them taste worse to me like the coffee doesn't taste great and the like i'd much rather have

two cups of both that would be ideal honestly yeah drink drink like an iced espresso and a manhattan what's like off your what do you not drink yeah what's like gross to you what's gross to me yeah mayonnaise yeah anything white oh sure pretty much but alcohol wise i don't i don't like vodka of any no vodka i'm not really a clear alcohol person like i will drink gin and or white rum if it's in a cocktail but it's not ever my first choice sure sure right now i can't drink at all i haven't had a drink since last christmas okay wow we're here talking about this is just you're just getting pummeled with drink i mean i mean i love it i love it i can't have a lot of things right now like i can't have chocolate either and i bought like a bon appetit magazine that was just chocolate

recipes and like read it like a little fiend where i was like got so hungry i couldn't fall asleep that night a little fiend a little chocolate fiend little chocolate fiend who does that remind you of i can assure you i eat enough for the both of us thank god somebody is jason i knew i could count on you. What do you got in the house chocolate-wise, Jason? Well, it's very funny you ask. So I bought this, I bought these like caramel chocolate sea salt cookies. Keep going.

That are far too salty. Yeah. I've made a mistake there. There is no too salty. Keep going. Yeah. They're really salty. That's my thing with the Carthay.

You're licking your lips and grinding. The Gilgitin Tonic is too salty to me. It's too tangy to me. Tangy or salty? Those feel like different things. I guess both. Is it salty? It is salty, isn't it?

Because it's got a little pickle brine in there. Oh, I guess that would. Yeah, you're right um uh uh so i have that and then i bought a bar jeer deli hat so they have like the dark chocolates the percentages of cacao yeah they do and i saw like oh 92 that's interesting and it's 92 proof they took a few squares because at first i was like this is there is i on the back it's 92 proof. They took a few squares. Cause at first I was like, this is, there is on the back.

It's like, there was hardly any sugar in a square. It tastes almost like baking chocolate, but then it's just palatable enough. Yeah. But after a few square, it's grown on me. I do like it.

I love dark chocolate. I can't even, I can't have milk chocolate at all. To me, it's like a different category. Okay. Wow. Hmm.

Was there ever a time? Because the dark chocolate, I feel like I've had to get used to. Milk chocolate now was always, of course, the default. Pretty early on, I started liking dark chocolate. Yeah. Like as a kid. As a kid, for sure. But I mean, as a little kid, I would eat Easter candy and Halloween candy and all that's usually milk chocolate.

For sure. Yeah. Easter candy, especially. But yeah, I think 92% might be a little much for me i like it but i think like 80 or 70 is probably the right level you're calibrating your level like a mattress or uh yes cbd oil yeah sure what's your number jason's chocolate update yeah that's so that's my chocolate update if you have to put, do you have an ideal number? It's not 92, probably quite. I think it's somewhere between 70 and 80.

But I do usually prefer dark chocolate, except like at Easter time, I like all the milk chocolate Cadbury stuff. But I mean, all that stuff would be so much better dark, like Cadbury egg with dark chocolate. That would be so much better with the dark, with the sweet. I agree with that for sure. Do they have dark chocolate Cadbury egg? the milk chocolate with the yolk, it's like it's just sugar on sugar to me. Yeah, I see what you're saying. My palate's too refined at

this point. Yeah, you're used to a certain thing. A certain standard of chocolate. Can we make Jason do an Easter egg hunt for, is that bonus content? Oh, yes. Just an episode of me ranking my easter candy choices i mean i want to hear that but i also want to see you go on a hunt i want the hunt yeah i want the hunt too you could what if it's clues that lead you to where the eggs are that are somehow like

disney trivia based okay i just want to stand here like a parent and be excited when he gets close you know like oh oh he's kidding if i could do an easter egg hunt without those pesky kids around that would sound that part was always stressful i remember as a kid we never participated in those like if there'd be a group hunt at a hotel we were staying at or something like that because truly to me even as a child the anxiety outweighed whatever chocolate i would find. Like, even when my, this is how competitive my sister and I were. My mom had to, she'd separate the yard and we had Easter egg hunts. We each had our own on one side of the yard. Like, here's the line where you can't hunt past.

And my sister had all her stuff and I had all mine. Because if we hunted together, I would have gotten too upset. Right. That's just that sort of like outside the box thinking that they say geniuses do that like seems so i i think that's brilliant i think that's like well you've solved the problem and she did so yeah she did solve the problem and my mom was also very good at easter egg hunts like we would get little stuffed animals and like it was definitely like if it would not have made sense if like i had run through with you know like teeth gritted and like gotten everything because i would have gotten two of everything yeah oh so she evened it out so everybody

everybody got the same stuff right i have to give my parents uh a lot of credit because they would me and my brother would each get an easter basket but we'd wake up easter morning and find a jellybean trail in the hallway holy shit we would have to follow the jellybean trails and then there was so excited like i am every now and then there would be a dead end or like a red herring oh my god how do we not know this how old were you? What age was this? I want to picture little Jason at the right level. For years. Oh my God. For years. Until how old?

Through middle school. Oh my God. This is fantastic. Jelly Bean Trill. Remember Jelly Bean Trill. And then pull to the basket. And then. So.

But then. And the basket was already full? Yeah. Well, we each. It was the same. We each had our own baskets, the same baskets every year. So if you found the others, you just kind of were like, okay. Right, right.

Like a stocking. Yeah. And then there would usually be like a movie in it or a stack of comics. But with the candy, it wasn't like Chris. We would usually get like one thing in the Easter basket. Would you eat the jelly beans as you walked along the trail uh not uh you might have one or two

would definitely collect them yes totally picturing et like crunching his way towards collect them and then we would disperse i would put them in the basket because i would want to invent first before i started oh yeah you gotta you gotta organize your candy.

Because it's also it's like, alright, I'm gonna have one or two pieces and then I gotta eat breakfast and then we gotta go to church and then we gotta go to another family. And the whole thing with that kind of loot is anticipating it. Like that was Halloween too. I would organize it first by like

fruits and chocolates and then I'd like mess it all up again and be like, now buy favorite like mess it all up again and be like now by favorite mess it all up again like now by whatever like how i'm gonna alphabetize i mean i would date of creation of candy every category i could think of whoa halloween and easter would kind of stress me out because unless they fell on a friday or saturday well easter didn't fall on saturdays uh easter seems to be sunday every year so far but well easter especially would stress me out because it was like i once once i got the basket i was like the clock is ticking i have to go to school tomorrow like i knew like any relaxation from the week off or the and driving to school you don't drive to school along a jelly bean trail no you don't at

all okay so i have a few questions about the jellybean trail okay so what surface wore the jellybeans on was it carpet it was carpet it was carpet but from the bedrooms down the hallway to the uh the living room okay about how many jellybeans do you think the trail was long yeah like how it tells the spacing um space kind of far apart i i think like by the time probably like 20 or 20 20 plus maybe a couple dozen i had somehow i was picturing them back to back so it was 100 it was hundreds at least 500 jelly beans and jason's eating all of them not even touching with his hands exactly hands flat on the ground like a little exorcist and you would eat them off the carpeting uh we i would collect them right but you would eat all of them yeah they would get eaten.

Interesting. What's your favorite color jelly bean? Pink. White. White is good too. That's up there. But I love red too. Cherry.

Yeah. Purple. Grape. Never the green and yellow. No thanks. No one's answer. Orange is on the fence. Yeah, orange is pretty good.

Well, I just want the listeners, mark it down this episode the reveal of jason's jellybean trail uh that's gonna come back a lot i think in the history of the podcast you're simultaneously full of joy that you've discovered it but also like having regrets of many years of not knowing about the jelly i can't believe we didn't know about this the jellybean trail has not come up before i just because like now i I'm like, oh, the Heralds we could have done. Okay. Oh, my gosh. You don't think I keep myself up at night thinking about that.

I mean, by the time you found that basket, someone had a hat headache, you know. We have not really talked about Jason's hat headaches so much on the show. I'm wearing a hat right now. It's a family trait that all the Sheridans get hat headaches From their hats And Jason brought it up to us as if it was a phrase That everybody used You know when you get a hat headache

Usually Eventually I realized it's like Well that meant it was very hot outside And I was not drinking enough water And I probably had my hat on too tight Well it's also the too tight part is a big factor, but I think it's also I don't

think I ever wore hats as a child like we were not a hat wearing family. I would get a ponytail headache. I think we sunburned the easiest kids. Oh, ponytail headache. I believe if you pull it too tight. Oh my God. Yeah. People get wig headaches. Those have to be on pretty tight. Wear a wig for a long time

Pull back Jason's pond deals just came up on a recent show Remember he used to Put a little piece of hot dog on the end of a fishing line And then fish for Pond deals so like the stuff we've Learned has come out that's why I'm just shocked At Jelly Bean Trail I had never heard

Of it before because it's One of the best We've been on the jellybean trail for 110 episodes or whatever yeah we just didn't know it i say we i have no idea you were the whole air the old herald run yeah yeah the reward finally came so now write your instagram it was a long trail but i feel good to have gotten here. I got the basket. Were it not for all those Monday nights, I would have never discovered the greatest thing. The Jason basket. Yeah. No.

I'm looking at the menu for Carthay here. And the Carthay Manhattan is on $17.50, which I think- That's more than we used to pay, right? It used to be like $14. Yeah, probably around that. Yeah. That's a pricey one. I just had a more expensive one

than that a granville in la where we've been oh right yeah there's 18 interesting wow they're really getting up there yeah no kidding uh i'm i'm looking at the thing here and they have and i remember i got this one year on halloween they have because it's halloween season they have the poison appletini which has not the ice but, but a little like skull, like melty, like piece of plastic that lights up in the drink. So it's a similar. Not to me worth drinking an appletini. Yeah.

That sounds so bad. Yeah. I like, well, I like one sugar nonsense drink generally. Yeah. Like I couldn't do many appletinis. I mean, I could if I had had to but gun to my head i could do it i feel like they should have made that more of like a bitter cider cocktail like that would have been a fun way to get the apple in there without being disgusting yes that is true

um they yeah i wonder i wonder i would be so interested we should really have uh emailed and try to get the breakdown of like what people like like what gets ordered the most i'm always curious about that type of thing like do most people go in there and order a sugary drink like an appletini or does everyone know that carthay manhattan is the best or do people go for scotch mist because of the walt thing right who knows it's funny when you look around in there too i mean i think we i feel like we've been in there before when it felt like the kind of people who go for a cocktail and then you also realize that like sometimes people just drag their family in for a snack not really knowing what it is right they're not taking advantage it's very uh it's much darker than a lot of places park and very heavily air conditioned so yeah the air conditioning is major things

it's the only time i appreciate air conditioning yes because i hate air conditioning but after after you're tramping around on the sun it feels you hate does it just feel like weird fake wind or something well i don't like being cold number one but yes i don't like the it's like the an oppressive wind i don't like anything that's sort of like i always start to feel like i'm getting sick when i'm in a lot of air conditioning yeah i know that i know you're saying yeah but disneyland necessary so it makes those it's it's a commonly said thing but your theaters your lincoln shows and your american adventures it's almost the main thing about it it's a yeah it's a break yeah it's a break uh this whole place too it's such a it's such a little like prison in a good way because you can't because your cell phone doesn't really work in there in the lounge for whatever reason.

My cell phone doesn't work anywhere in Disneyland. I mean, it's a true vacation when I get there. Sprint, if you're listening. I have Sprint. I have called them about the Disney issue. They did nothing about it. And you demanded like install a cell tower in Anaheim. You know, I tried to get them.

I was like trying to get a better deal. I was like, listen, I go to Disneyland a lot. And my my cell phone doesn't even work there which could be very dangerous if i get separated from my friends and i can't find them and uh i threatened to leave and they asked like okay so you want us to terminate and i was like oh no yeah when you put it that way that's scary word the companies don't care about your business anymore at all yeah it's getting bad wifi is bad unless you're in the hotels the hotel ones have decent wi-fi now but it's a weird thing too you think like they have so many apps and things that you can use it's like they should maybe it's just the number of users everyone using it well i think it's a combo with that and then i heard the

the signal to like the the stations the Wi-Fi stations are by the rides because they need the FastPass Plus stuff to work. Oh, that's why my cell phone does work in Indiana Jones. It's the only place I've been able to text people. You just get a bunch of, you get off that ride and ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Yeah, it's when I'm in line, I'm like, ooh, I can check things.

Weird, even though you're like underground, you're in a tunnel, it feels counterintuitive. Ohuitive oh my god no i just realized actually what it is isn't that isn't indiana jones where all the like hieroglyphics when they first opened that ride the hieroglyphics that are in when you're waiting it used to be sponsored by sprint and so you got these like it was so silly when that ride first opened you got these like cardboard things that had sprint on one side on the other side you could decipher like the message and it was essentially a it was an ad for sprint which was fairly really i think it was sprint it was something if it wasn't sprint it was something like tnt maybe something like that but it's also just the fact that they did

that i mean i know they can change the meaning of those symbols at any time and then yeah but it's it was something really tepid like the power of communication yeah really bad right indiana jones believes he indiana jones couldn't didn't have a cell phone could have gotten himself out of a lot of messes today we're luckier he should have had his cell phone at the end of the ride i should have used this i'm surprised it's almost shocking that they don't have that like now they've added johnny depp when are they gonna take that that me too dude out that that discussion i feel like they've got to be heading that way i mean as there's a franchise as the franchise keeps going without him maybe that's the justification and then it's like say goodbye to captain jack and they'd never

because they're not they're never gonna say it they're never gonna say we're removing the canceled robot it was just such a bummer to shove him in there in the first place. It's like the movie came from the ride. Don't then go backwards. Right. Yes. And he's having this like unaffiliated plot that doesn't really intermingle with the rest. He's like so on the side.

Yeah. Yeah. And all his mischief leads to riches. Yeah, he wins in the end. Well, he should use those riches now. Yes. Bankrupt. He's got so many lawsuits going.

He's probably sneaking in there all the time trying to pass himself off as a robot and get that gold out. Johnny'd have to pay off his debtors. I mean, he owns nine islands. Creditors. The Hollywood Vampires gigs are only going to pay for so much. 20 ahead. I don't know.

Yeah. They're not charging that much for his rock shows. Do you two have memories of stuff we talked about at Carthay? I was trying to think about that. I mean, I imagine it's a lot of the same UCB adjacent. Bullshit. Well, sure. I'm sure we did our fair share of griping.

But I remember good relationship, childhood stuff. I remember learning some about your childhood and I will obviously wouldn't say it on the podcast, but like it was, I just feel like we got into like very good stuff. And I was so curious if you guys had similar fond memories or. I have fond memories, but I don't remember specifics that well, but I have fond memories for sure. The three of us went down around my birthday like three years ago and i just remember being happy to be out of

the house and around fret like it was not a good time for me yeah yeah well we we brought this up on an earlier episode do you do remember the photo shoot we got to have oh my god that was jason's birthday that was pretty exciting yeah were you there for the train that era was there yeah so we got to go on because the train was parked because they were doing work on the rivers of america so the photographer took us onto the train and then like behind a little secret corner around the haunted mansion yeah she took us around in the haunted mansion it wasn't that part wasn't as cool as you Would I thought we were gonna get to maybe go into some Real like I don't know behind the

Scenes yeah spooky stuff but it was More like you can go stand By this pillar that you would have stood by if you were waiting In line kind of yeah It was like just like one extra level Down that would have been like where the maintenance But it was fun yeah Did you get photos as part of that

Yeah I guess so But now I don't I mean I sent them to everyone At the time I'm sure you did I have them yeah Cause we gotta add to

Those are very popular On our Twitter The Mike Jason photos There's a picture of Jason Climbing the back of the train Cause she would like Suggest things to us I think you must have

Sent them to me And then I probably Just didn't open the file I bet I forgot I mean I still have So there's a picture I think there's a picture Of all three of us

With our heads Sticking out the train window that's cute when you post that line add a big missing piece to this photo shoot i had no idea you were part of the magic yeah yeah we used to go to disneyland a lot there was a year did you ever pass for two years or a year i think i did for two years and i'd go down sometimes i went with you and lindsey a couple times and went with the three of us a few times and then we'd bring marissa it was you me and marissa went once we did that because you made me sit in the middle in between so all three of us all three of us went in big thunder we have a good picture of that too because mike doesn't look happy but he was a little tight uh and then there was a woman behind us photo bombing us truly amazing while we were

taking a photo amazing photo bomb she was like putting the throwing up a peace sign behind us that may have also been the ride when the woman in front of us had such long hair that i was like we're she's gonna die or kill us all no oh no this was we talked to mary allen about this the last episode that came out were you with her when she has a story that's very similar to this maybe i was with mary because i have gone yes i went with wild horses once so that's what she was saying that there was hair that felt like it was going to get caught or something it was her hair was down to her knees yeah yeah and so she and she very like emphatically that's the right word like took her hair from her shoulders and like made sure it was like splayed purposefully

and it was like flying but it was definitely like when the train would slow it was like it would fall a bit and go towards the track and i was like this is and this is it i'm gonna watch her head get ripped off or the whole train's gonna derail and i was hoping for head if i have to pick one you know okay you hurry don't hurt us all turn the gun yourself first is what i'm saying if her hair had gotten caught on one of those branches she would have been spinning around like one of those possums. I mean, that would have been cute. That's what I wanted to say last week, and I didn't get to say it.

Oh, well, so you got to make it. I really wanted to talk about that woman spinning around like a possum. So thanks for the second chance. Yeah, it's not often that you get to use the line you think of later. Yes, that was my distanza. Okay, here we go. Oh my God, it's here. I'm just glad I didn't stumble. Yeah yeah you did it you nailed

it sure did boy historic joke um yeah so i yeah i remember i remember the that's the my my most vivid memory is that photo shoot yeah wow i'm just so excited that that more chapter yeah that we weren't done which people have asked people like i've seen people write us on twitter and say what was that phrase again that you have to say to get this for sure which it's unclear now whether you are you inspired i had to say to the photographer and it seems like the result is uh mixed and now it seems like some people don't know it some people don't they said like you can't it's like not really that's not really the phrase anymore but the people that roam around you could still get them to like were you inspired were you inspired if you were inspired what would i say now i haven't honestly tried it in a few years so so uh i think you guys

went as you're saying you went to carthay a lot. Have you ever gone off your usual path and tried any of the very old timey drinks they have? Pim's Punch, a Negroni, a Sidecar. No, and I'm disappointed in myself. I love Negronis and I love Sidecars.

Yeah. So I should, if I go back, I should try, especially if I'm doing a two drink thing, if I can ever drink again, I'll do it i'll do a fun old timey drink there's one called a ginger rogers which is plymouth gin

luxardo apricot liqueur noily prat dry vermouth i of course start every day with a glass of noily prat dry vermouth uh and your buttermilk you are a fresh lemon juice that it's served up that sounds good i mean but i but not good enough that i want the whole drink you know like i would In your buttermilk. You are a daily prat. A hint of fresh lemon juice. That it's served up. That sounds good. Yeah. I mean, but not good enough that I want the whole drink. You know, like I want to taste that. I don't want to drink it. Yeah.

Yeah. That's a problem with a lot of beverages, I feel like. With the non-alcoholic blue milk, I'm done with that after three sips. It's in Star Wars. It's in Star Wars. Blue milk? It's more of a slushy-ish ish it's more of like a fruit smoothie it's alcoholic in florida and i'm excited to try it with alcohol in florida but uh here it's just

you get you get the flavor and then after a few sips like i'm about it's not dairy it's rice it's like iced rice milk that does i mean that's better but doesn't sound good no i liked it more than i thought because i really don't like super sugary bullshit i'm not a milk boy and it's not it's not milk so it's not a problem i'm very much not a milk boy milkshakes have been a problem for me in the recent past i don't drink milk anymore of the three of us aaron who do you think is the biggest milk boy gosh if i had to guess i think it'd be this i'm not making eye contact with you because i could just feel it on me i mean it would be the guy who still orders a full glass of milk i don't order a full glass of milk i don't there was a day during our city one thing he had milk and cookies for

dinner one time you were you were like added me on twitter what someone had a joke about like someone was like witnessing a date where someone ordered a full glass of milk and you tagged me so quickly because immediately i was like it has to have been jason i mean there's a handful of men drinking glass drinking milk as adults there's not many women it's it feels it feels like a male thing to me or maybe it's a midwestern thing um not that you're midwestern but i feel like i could more see a midwestern woman drinking a full glass of milk yeah because you need it's a very 60s thing yeah for sure do you still do milk before i mostly do the almond milk but you'll but you'll drink it as just a glass of milk uh not like a juice glass size thing with cookies

if i'm having if i want cookies and milk i'll have it but i'm not solo drinking cookies to me well cookies and milk solo i mean that's still a glass of milk like four to six ounces yeah that's a glass of milk okay it's a decent it's a small like most adults are putting it in coffee i put it in coffee i put no i know you do that too okay okay you put it on cereal yeah i can't even do that maybe a splash with oatmeal but you will have a cup and there's milk in it you drink the small glass to dip cookies it is primarily dipping cookies it's primarily a cookie dipping i just never got i i is a cookie dip i've disliked milk since i was a teeny tiny like it's never appealed to me i did drink milk probably up

through high school yeah and then i and then my my now wife erin as soon as we started dating i think i like i think i i think i had her parents i was like like can i go get a glass of milk she's like what a glass of milk from my parents. Like, and then all it took was her. She said, you still drink milk. Why?

And then you saw it. You suddenly like, yeah, came out of your body. You were like, Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah.

It was like a, just a surge of sobering up. Like, Oh God, it's so funny. Those moments as an adult are really funny. Cause I feel like you have those moments a lot as a kid, when you're like,

do something that you think is normal. and then everyone looks at you and it's like fuck that was just something my family did or like just something i did but like it must be so funny as an adult like i feel like only occasionally now will i have that but it's kind of a love like a great feeling because it's like wow i'm still learning about the world there's still mysteries it's not all done for me in the past yeah um learning that hat headache is not a thing everybody gets i just this point everyone didn't get that easter morning jelly bean trail you know you know i didn't get a trail everybody got that was a standard issue apparent thing um i i i don't know about the jellybean trail i knew people got easter baskets

i mean we definitely we had to search we got an empty basket and then searched the garden for everything so it was like and my mom was pretty good at hiding things like she would camouflage green on green you know you really had to hunt my mother-in-law still does easter egg hunts to this day it's great like she hunts or she she provides a hunt for my for uh her daughter my wife and me and the other kids and cousins like it's it's adult easter egg hunts on easter every year it's a blast and they have these lottery tickets inside that's a good little yeah that's cool So then you're adding everybody's scratching afterwards. You guys are so on board for getting a lottery ticket as a gift. To me, that is no offense to your mother-in-law, but like the cheesiest. But man, if one is a big one.

But you probably don't. It's kind of a bullshit gift. But it's fun. She should just give you cash. I like it because it's one more hunt after the hunt. Yeah, it's a thrill of the chase. It's a thrill of the chase. It's a thrill of the chase. Then you get to thrill.

Oh, my gosh. I could seriously see. I feel like I associate lottery tickets with... Never mind. Stop censoring me. I'll be a nicer... Easy. I've grown and I'll be nicer as well.

I don't associate it with trash. It's associated with Charlie Buckets it's the the thrill of like yeah but at least i came with a chocolate bar yes he did get something out of it didn't work you got candy this is just a ticket yeah and a bunch of like uh and what's we're gonna uh and a bunch of weird little like scratchy what do you like the little wormy remnants of lottery ticket goo is horrible yeah that's gross that i will say uh that not as good as a big chocolate bar right we can agree on that um let's talk about oh yeah i was gonna bring it back we hadn't really mentioned the inspiration for this building the real life Carthay Circle. Yeah. Which used to be in Los Angeles,

located at 6316 San Vincente Boulevard. I checked the satellite map. It is now office buildings. And a really boring office buildings too. Yeah. It was demolished in 1969. Oh. Yeah.

I didn't actually know it was based on anything, but now that I've learned that and then also learned it was demolished in the same sentence, I'm really sad. sad roller coaster ride for you it's like when i learned the stars of twilight had dated but then they broke up i learned it all in one minute oh no i was so excited and then so sad for them all the emotions at once yeah and our president had a lot of opinions on the subjects yes he tweeted he tweeted about that. He tweeted about it so many times. He tweeted about the Twilight? He tweeted about, like,

Stuart treated Pattinson like a dog or he used that weird phrase. He just had some side, obviously. Oh, boy. Yeah, so many tweets about that couple. Anyway. Wow. Back to the 60s.

So, the real Carthay Circle took its name because the auditorium, it was a theater, it was a theater. It was a movie theater. The auditorium was a perfect circle inside of a square building. Like the Cinerama Dome today. Yes. Sort of an equivalent.

And probably like when those were both open at the same time, probably the two best places to see original, like nice print movies in the 50s and 60s yeah before like it showed a lot of road shows like before uh multiplexes there was like a more a smaller number of prints and they were usually very high quality prints that would travel around so this would show very high quality prints of movies hosted movie premieres the big disney connection is that it hosted the premiere of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Also hosted the premiere of Gone with the Wind, the 1936 version of Romeo and Juliet, and 1937 Best Picture winner, The Life of Emile Zola. Yeah! Yeah. And don't forget, let's show some love to the first premiere ever held

there cecil b demille's the volga boatman yeah yeah my volga heads at it's more even more insane to me that they changed tower of terror it fits so well with the time oh yeah the era like actually putting in this 30s centerpiece made it connect to a 30s hotel. That's true. It would have been. It would have been. It's weird because like the whole Hollywood Street is supposed to be like that, but it's still like not that well themed. It's still like kind of themed.

But the car thing is so well themed. It felt like if they were like next to each other, it would have been almost perfect. But you get a bunch of that. You get that crap plastic Hollywood in between. But it just all had that old California feel, which is to me what it's supposed to be. Like that's what california adventure supposed to be i mean and don't get me wrong i like guardians of the galaxy i just don't understand why they had to shove it into a cool twilight zone ride like why did they

do that uh why did they just build a new one cheap because it's cheaper even though they don't have to license the twilight zone anymore that's not true though that that doesn't matter that much it's not that much money it's not that much i'm just saying i think it was like they wanted it quick and they wanted it cheap or have you been on it guardians i mean of course you have yeah it's great yeah yeah i haven't uh but the one in florida is still twilight zone and it's uh the better version so i mean who's gonna go to florida we're going in we're going and tickets are still on oh yeah you have a tour i saw that yeah we sure do so come see us in orlando in Orlando, the 24th. That's so exciting. We're all going to Disney World

together. It hasn't really set in. We've been doing this podcast for two years and now our first en masse trip. That's really exciting. Boy, I hope a lot of photographers are inspired down there. And are you going to do on the road podcasts as you're there?

No, probably not. We weren't gonna, but. A little hotel room podcast after a day at the park? I mean, maybe we should. I don't know. Maybe perhaps. Sounds like there's not a lot of excitement about it. Not a bad idea. Yeah.

We are staying at three different hotels on multiple different flights. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, we're split up. But if that's something people want, we could do. But then it takes time out of being in the park. Yeah. So, yeah, we're split up. But if that's something people want, we could do it. But then it takes time out of being in the apartment. Yeah, the problem with that is that we just want to do the live show and just go on rides. Well, yeah, and you'd have to bring all your equipment, which...

Yeah, it's a little bit of a pain. It's a lot. We'll have to bring some of it, though. We'll do a little. Because we have to record the live shows. I could be wrong about this. Weren't they initially thinking maybe they would actually build the Carthay as a theater and have premieres there wasn't that an idea i've seen floated that could be totally wrong at california venture oh possibly yeah i don't think and i think when it

opened i wasn't even aware of what was inside i knew there was that center this new centerpiece they were building but yeah the fact that it was a nice restaurant and bar i don't think i was aware of i also think a lot of tourists don't know because this is easy to get into like the lounge is very easy this podcast i guess not after this we've we've blown the lid off but you have to get in line outside yeah sometimes it's not terrible though it's not like you need a reservation right like the restaurant i wonder if it's going that way i don't know yeah i don't know because it does feel like it's never so crazy bad no and so worth it no matter what and yeah for 20 minutes you're still like you need it yeah it's not something that we can pass up no right it's funny what usually has the longer line and i think because it's open air and people can see it is the bar um uh at the pier at what is now pixar pier right

it's so many people people might think that's the only bar there yeah because you can see it's a bar with a view of the water people also probably just want to drink at that point like this is an experience this is like we're gonna sit in a dark like non-disney feeling atmosphere and really like that's true it's like cutting the day in half it's a very good point it's great that it doesn't feel that disney it doesn't feel a little not here's like the little there's a little oscar of snow white or something or other but like sure i mean they have like there's there's exactly like nicer hints at it but there is not the like we built this to look like a fake interior of a you know

yeah because you need a break from the like i can i can get my when there's people who don't understand going to disneyland all the time i can understand needing the break from just like cartoons in your face all the time it's just like it's nice though because it's like a break with ambience it's not like going back to your hotel room and taking a break where you're just in like no, like no theme. Yes. Like this really is like you've traveled back in time. Yeah. It's Art Deco.

There's a lot of pictures of old Hollywood stuff. Some very funny pictures of Walt Disney where they have very clearly photoshopped a cigarette out of his hand. So he's just got two fingers. That is hilarious. Like this. Have i told you my walt disney story it's not my walt disney story my mom met walt disney what really this story you've told before it's insane it's insane when my mom was little her family went to disneyland and so i don't know what this part was in the 60s yeah and she saw walt disney sitting there and like was so like thrilled and went over and she asked him for his autograph

and he said jesus christ kid can't you see him eating a hot dog and like that was the interaction and she walked away and was really upset sure wow that's not at all like tom hanks giving out little business cards with his autograph already on it like in that movie um and just to just to make people aware that is what will happen if you approach jason after one of our live shows i've gotten that answer from Jason many a time. Karen, I did a Harold, and then I had to come down with a hot dog. It was bad enough I had to listen to a rotating cast of dipshits give us notes.

I just wanted to go through the scene one more time to be like, I'm sorry if you didn't get what I was going for. That classic Harold night. I'm noting you by apologizing yes yeah yeah oh gosh we locally improv truly is the highest uh form of annoyance art um yeah no i don't we were pretty good about we were we were good about that i mean there would there would be occasions where i truly was apologizing because I was like, well, I fucked that up. I think we all did. Yeah.

Yeah. I have another story about Walt being persnickety that ties back into the Carthay Circle here. In the early days, pre-Mickey, in the days of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, there was the gentleman Fritz Freeling who went on to become a Warner Brothers legend, but he was an animator for Waltz in the 20s. He woke, this is all from Yesterland, he woke up to find a small but painful boil on his rear end,

so he phoned in sick to the Disney studio. Fritz decided the best way to take his mind off his pain was to take an open-air double-decker bus to see a flick at the Carthay Circle at the Disney studio. Fritz decided the best way to take his mind off his pain was to take an open-air double-decker bus to see a flick at the Carthay Circle at the real theater. So he's like, I don't feel up to animating today, but I'm just gonna get some fresh air

and go see a movie, take my mind off of this boil on my butt. That's how you knocked the cobwebs out in the old days. According to Don Draper. Mm. Get over it. Here's what you do This never happened Just pretend this never happened

Get on a double decker bus And get to the movies He was mostly dealing with people having boils on their butt So this guy's on a double decker bus Sorry I'm going to go relax a little bit. Go see a movie at Carthay Circle. The bus stops at a stoplight. And then next to him in his moon roadster, Walt Disney,

who turns, spots Fritz's eyes, gives him a look like, so sick, huh? They peel off in different ways. When he gets home, he is fired from the Disney studio. Oh, my gosh. So a trip to Carth is fired from the Disney studio. Oh my gosh. So a trip to Carthay Circle caused the firing of Fritz Freeling, who, by the way, went on to direct 200 Warner Brothers cartoons, is the main

person responsible for Sylvester Tweedy and Yosemite Sam, among many, many, many other things. Jeez. So he like a lot, because of being mad about a boil on a butt, Walt lost one of the great talents in the history of animation. Jeez. So it just goes to show folks, go to the doctors before the movies.

Go to the doctor because then you get the little note. You waggle your script or your note. Waggle the little note. Waggle the script. At your eccentric movie studio boss. You waggle the doctor's script. The doctor says I got to ride the double-decker bus. The doctor said I got to ride the bus.

Or at least ride on the side of the double-decker bus facing the opposing traffic. But you can't control what lane the driver. I guess you can't. You don't know which way Walt's coming from. Well, wear a hat and sunglasses is sunglasses is what you do so your boss doesn't your boss who also isn't at the office that day right why was he out yeah probably also at the movies knocking the cobwebs out he had a boil on his butt too he had stress boils all the time more common than we realize yeah especially in the old days in the 20s i mean how do you know if it's a zit or a boil? No, you would never. I'm not sure I've had a boil. A zit can probably become a boil.

What's the difference? I don't know. Is a boil like a bed sore or is it like a cyst? I'm not sure. I think it's closer to a cyst. Yeah. I don't think I've ever had a boil either. Have you had a boil out there in podcast land?

Send us a picture. We'll evaluate. Tweet at us. At our personal accounts. You know what? Just send it to Jason and he'll show it to us. I was going to say that there's a secret lounge called the Terrace Lounge that I have yet to actually sit.

I haven't done it either. I haven't. You have to ask for it. And it's like outdoor a little bit up. At Carthay? Yeah, at Carthay. Whoa. And we haven't done it yet.

I hope we haven't done this yet. A newer thing. A newer thing, yeah. But you know what? Do you think that, I mean, I'd want to sneak in and see it before I settled. Well, yeah, I think you'd want to do it. A newer, a newer thing. Yeah. But you know what? I mean, I'd want to sneak in and see it before I settled. Well, yeah. I think you'd want to try it. Is it the ups?

Are you talking about upstairs or just the outside on the lower level? It's hard to be too well lit. Yeah. I don't want the ambience to be ruined. You know what the outdoors is like? But you go to a specific place for a 30s vibe. Yeah. Maybe that's the reason we haven't

done it subconsciously we're like we care i can see the sky wherever it might not be as good but it's like a little tiny room so it's one time you'd like to do it yeah well sure you gotta try it yeah so you gotta try it so anyway that's we'll do it eventually i wish the haunted mansion had a little cocktail area of course i want a haunted cocktail. They really should. That is crazy that they're just like leaving so much money on the table not doing that. But again, it was Walt's wish to not have alcohol in this park. And we must obey the wishes of this man who yelled at children about hot dogs and fired people for having boils. I will say he has a point.

Because I think about like if you have nice expensive cocktails, you at least knock out the people who are gonna have like four beers and then throw up on a ride being thrown up on a ride is so horrible i got thrown up on on the simpsons ride at universal oh my god that's close quarters yeah and then you're just stuck like just going up and down the guy like leaned down and threw up between his feet and it was like sprayed up on my pants and i was like no i was not nice did you know them no it was a strange drunk man oh and you could tell it was a drunken thing oh he was he could barely stand up in line god so that level of drinking at a park i do kind of go i see why you would want to avoid it sure i think maybe you can avoid it if you do 18 craft cocktails but i mean yeah well and what they've landed on with ogis

cantina and in galaxy's edge where it's you you sit and there's a cap and it's not like walking around the park with like gigantic beers that you can refill and refill and refill maybe that's what they avoid actually recommend like if you're gonna get two what are them both now and we need your card now and we're gonna close you out like it's a different procedure than a normal bar yeah but it's a smaller space and they got to rotate people in and out but it's still i never felt rushed like i've never felt like no there hasn't been that moment where yeah we're wondering if a storm trooper can you like can you hang out for a while though like is it like a car thing where you could spend an hour and a half talking not quite no not quite but you probably they're probably eyeing you after an hour yeah but we don't know what that

maybe not right i was thrown up on uh in sixth grade by my friend on the tilt world that's a really bad ride to be yeah because that just gets pushed on and there were like five of us on the ride it was like five or six kids on the ride crammed and he was like it whoa he was next to me he was on the far right and then i was next and then no one got any throw up on them except for me that's one of the few times where it's worse for you than the person who threw up yes i think so i mean he probably felt better and and also it landed all over you yeah he didn't he was not full of i mean he was very he was very uh upset sure like but yes it was i was humiliated there was like a girl my age on the coaster that would be like a stand by me issue for me like i'd throw up the person who saw me throw up would throw up yeah big trail uh it wasn't my sister was on the ride and then

a girl my eight i was humiliated it was oh anyway it's just he wasn't drunk though is this what mike opened up about at curfew i don't think i thought maybe i did i don't think i had known i don't think i knew about that one the throw-up incident yeah where it all went wrong um who would have thought this has become such a it has been a gross episode for being a about this classy well i like to bring my brand actually if i could keep it a little disguise i missed one we missed one thing about original carthage circle the the theater is that perhaps this was the place that had the disney's first attempt at a themed environment you could walk around in because if you went to go see snow white and the seven dwarves there you first had to walk through a place called dwarf land

and here's a picture of dwarf land oh see you say ah i think these are scary i'm scared of these dwarves and dwarf land i think they look like the dwarves i think the facade looks really good but it's clearly the early days of like costume characters. Well, and also of note, the Snow White premiere is the first place that Walt ever attempted costume characters of any kind. It's the first place that a costumed Mickey and Minnie showed up, which I have a picture of, which I'll try to remember to post. But they look very bizarre. Not scary quite, but they just have like really odd narrow snouts. They look, Mickey and Minnie look like weasels or something.

Are these people playing dwarves? Do you think they're little people? Perhaps, or children who caught Walt in a bad mood. Yeah, maybe my mom's in there. Hey, you, you're sleepy now. You want to be around me I've been sleepy all day She's trapped in a costume

She can't take it off It's locked from the inside It's locked If we want to keep talking about Gross stuff But this is not gross The bathroom's at Carthay Yeah

Unbelievable Unbelievable Like it's a break within a break Yes Stalls that go floor to ceiling and dark dark wood dark wood perfectly lit like you you look in the mirror and you're like how after eight hours of walking around do i look like i'm glowing you look like a star in one of the old hollywood films and it's quiet very quiet i don't think i mean maybe is there music playing if there is okay well it's definitely not like it's j Very quiet I don't think I mean maybe Is there music playing If there is There is Okay well it's definitely

Not like It's jazzy versions Of Disney songs Oh yeah Oh I just remember Being so calm Yeah but it's I mean it's very low

It's not allowed Slow down Very Slow down Jazzy Bare necessities in there Not like movie trailers Slow down Oh yeah The scariest thing it's still scary

every time you hear it yeah yeah that is just and you walk down such a long beautiful hallway like i want to say it's like that dark red carpet when you're like you go up the stairs yeah and then on the left and right are the bathrooms yeah and there's like there's photographs right like black my photographs on the side temple i believe is right there and it really and there's like There's photographs right like black My photographs on the side temple I believe Is right there And it's always like very quiet up there like You could you could easily like stand and hang out In that hallway and like one or two people would pass you

It's not like a yes it's jam-packed Um there's one stall I believe in the male bathroom I assume there would be like at least two in the female But there's more it's like six Is it that many wow that's great I mean there's i think there's not am i wrong there's only one maybe there's two ours is a pretty it's a it's a big hallway shaped like a large hall okay kind of oh yeah but those are the best bath i think those are the best bathrooms in the park i think

now i'm like maybe i'm picturing wrong it might just be three or four sure yeah so clean so chill um i actually i have the opposite i don't feel like uh i don't feel like a movie star when i look in that mirror i feel like self-conscious for perhaps being in shorts and a visor well that is the funny thing about that place is like you walk in and you're like surely they're not gonna want us to come in but then but it's like everyone there's at disneyland right no one is dressing up to go just there probably maybe maybe but like it's all it's mostly tourists who look worse than you yeah yeah that's that's yeah but it does feel like you should have a top hat on it does yeah and then you kind of wish you did yes yes i guess if we have a dinner reservation

we should all wear our top we all get fancy go to i do sometime want to do dinner there yeah well maybe that's the sequel to this is we all go in tuxes and tails yeah yeah and then just be horror like just so uncomfortable on the rides yeah our like 200 top hats go flying off coast maybe it doesn't fit in the basket on a credit coaster oh shit i think we have to do a locker situation we'd have to have a change oh yeah that's true that's a whole thing all right never mind yeah never mind go but not the top hat yeah no except for jason i have a top hat do you for live show i had one oh yeah you're right last show i bought a top hat you got to wear that top hat more yeah every time we record i want

you to be a fancy i want you as you get into your older age getting to be more of a fancy man in general like a paul. Tompkins type. Whatever that means to you, whatever your spin is on that. I had headaches, though. Does he offer lessons? Does Paul offer sartorial lessons? Yeah, he's a PF teacher.

All right. We haven't talked about food that you can get in the lounge. They've shuffled what the food is a lot, I feel like, in the many years. You know, it's always fine. I have this thing with Disneyland. I don't, like, you're always, you always end up sitting in these places and buying flatbreads that are three times more expensive than what you get. But I don't mind it.

It's part of it. I'm satisfied by them. I know it's stupid. I'm paying too much but i'm usually in such a good mood from the alcohol consumption and from the taking the break that yeah you're really more just excited to have someone bring something to you while you're seated yeah it could be almost anything could be a plate of poop and i'd still be all right okay he's gross you know it's even a good here's this is gonna be another moment for you like the milk other people don't like to eat plates of poop no i'm sorry to humiliate you

on podcast but my family yeah it's just your family it's just your family the flatbreads disney i think got into flatbreads like 10 years ago because they realized the margins on them are incredible like it's so the ingredients are so cheap and you can charge like 15 bucks for them and make it look a little nice yeah and you can say with olive oil like the cheapest thing just like dip you're just dipping just bread and olive oil which is like a delicious thing i feel like we i feel like they had some kind of like korean taco that we got a few times yeah those are pretty good they're very salty and i love salts so i was like a shock that it was too salty for me i think also they have like a chips and fondue type yeah we would get that but we had for me we had to get it without a lot of things

right i can't do the jalapenos or the sour cream right yeah cheese plates fine cheese plate i've had yeah everything they were crisp i like fine everything but better than the park i mean yes Yeah. Cheese plates. Fine. Cheese plate. I've had. Yeah. Everything fine. Crisp I like. Fine. Everything. But better than the park. I mean. Yes. A hundred percent.

Yeah. Yeah. But it's a lot of small, but like it's hard to fill up. I do wish that they'd let you order off the menu in the lounge. They don't do that. It's a specific lounge menu. You can't. You can't be like, but I want to order a burger.

Right. No. No. No. Too bad. Too bad. But you get to sit and you know, what's, I think the chairs are nice. The table, just literally everything around you.

You get to sit. So you can sit in the little smaller tables, which have, yeah, the nice kind of cushy chairs, or you can sit at the high top tables. Yeah. We've done both based on what was available. What's available. And both of them have their, they have their pluses. I have to say, I mean, I think the first time we were there, we sat at the high table and

so I really liked it. But then when we got those low chair i mean that is yeah comfy yes link and sometimes you get seated just outside the lounge and sort of the lobby which at first i thought would be kind of sad but i liked that atmosphere too that's good too good to stare at in a corner you're still like cozy yeah nice staircase yeah you're near the staircase the elevator you can watch that not really be used probably but they give you that option truly anytime i'm taking someone there and they haven't been in a while this is the spot and i this always work like it's literally never failed whether it's like when i first kind of took my mom out here or when like my buddy from back

home and i was like let's go to disney i was like i don't know i don't really want to go i go trust me the day will be good and then we do a midday there and every it's all it always works yeah everyone loves carthay yeah it's always a hit i think it's peak adults disneyland yes it's the best it's the thing that makes that click like you can be an adult at disneyland and it rules and then they yes as you were saying then they you get it it like clicks and you go oh i know why these people go yeah and aaron i think you said like it it re-energizing you it is the adult equivalent of like when i was a kid and we would go to the parks in florida and it's like okay three o'clock rolls around back to the hotel for the kids to take a nap yeah you, you take a nap, you get your lunch or whatever or snack.

And then you're ready to come back. You got to do the parks at night. It's all different at night. And I mean, Thunder Mountain at night is one of the most magical. You get to see the little village or the little town. Old West Town. Yeah, and Splash Mountain at night. Yeah.

And it's better when you're buzzed on a Manhattan. It really is. Yeah. I mean, we did Tower of Terror after, which was brave. Like, you don't really want to do that when you've just had alcohol. But I felt, I mean, I've told you, we've talked about this, that that ride is the only time I've ever experienced joy. Whoa. Heavy.

And I didn't realize it until it happened. But when your butt is two inches out of the seat and you're just free falling with your friends on each side of you and it's so smooth that up and down oh boy if you look at pictures of me from the ride photos over the years everyone's like you make the same face every time and i'm like yes i'm happy i'm carefree for once and you're the same person i mean why would you make different faces yeah i don't really switch up my smile for joy no i don't think about like doing a bit like when it's like oh camera's coming up gotta do a bit like gotta do a little like i don't know

my brain i think true joy in true joy you're free of bits yes you don't have the pressure from the tyranny i knew that would resonate in this room bits are stressful you can't really mix joy with irony yeah too much right yeah it's not pure if there's irony in there and then you don't even you're not exactly sure when that photo is being taken so you're you're you're captured in this very earnest moment yeah when and whenever you see people who are who who did the bit in the photo you know they held that pose for quite a while because you don't know the exact second so they're so they're like shades down on the nose shades down on the nose shades down on the nose you hope

that snap there's the picture i mean i'm guilty of doing like we've all done it we've even planned them on space mountain oh yeah what did we do i can't remember now but we definitely we definitely did something. I'm not against the like doing the pose and the thing, but like sometimes you're just not in that frame of mind. Yeah. You want to be free of that pressure. Yeah.

Just be having a day for yourself. Mm-hmm. Well, especially now that you like there's so many planned pictures and pictures being posted everywhere, anywhere. It's not like back when there wasn't social media, picture on a ride was sort of like a big funny deal so it did make sense to sort of do some kind of thing it was like how often are you getting photographed and it was going to be displayed in the house probably it was only for the house now it's like you took nine million pictures of disneyland that day so it's like you don't need to do another funny

right that being said check our twitter for the rest of the the photos of are you inspired for the professional photo shoot yeah um the only other thing or like a tube when we took a picture with chewbacca oh that was great that was great my god and when i cried because kylo rejected me yes and kylo was mean to aaron well i had a whole plan where like i was like it'll be really cute if we did like a prom style picture me and kylo was mean to aaron well i had a whole plan where like i was like it'll be really cute if we did like a prom style picture me and kylo ren kylo ren yes i forgot his last name because we're so close um and we waited in line for so long and at first i was saying to mike like i can't believe you're standing in line to meet a fake character like you know there's nothing in there it's just like a person but like but halfway through the line like i still the anticipation of meeting him i started i started

forgetting it wasn't the real one and so we got in there and i was so nervous and i was like will you pose romantic with me and he goes no and like swipes his hand across and i like truly my eyes filled with tears we just take this sad picture where like my little shoulders and my arms are totally straight by my body and i'm like not really looking at the camera because i was so embarrassed and mike tried mike afterwards goes this is character yeah it's like he's being mean to everyone he was like he was doing you a favor like that's how he'd react yeah and i was like no try to eat a hot dog if i'd been like a hot 25 year old he would have been like yes i don't know i don't think so but then chewbacca really turned that around then we then he was like chewbacca wants to do a million poses he wants to hug you in all of them he like plays

with your hair it's very cute was it me and marissa i want to say lindsey was in those pictures too but we might have done it twice we may have done it twice because i remember marissa squealing when chewbacca came around the corner he was really a thrill yeah hug from chewbacca is it was great i still remember the way his fur smells smells good oh jeez i don't have a good memory of the smell it smells a little bit like popcorn my memory is that it's musty it was musty but like old like you know when you walk into an arcade in the 90s and this and it's like with the flat carpet and it kind of has that like ground popcorn smell like old popcorn that's what he smelled interesting i liked it i'll have to smell him next time i see him is the best smell at disneyland chewbacca

chewbacca's fruit's pretty good probably depends What time of day it is And how long he's been That's a good point Hugging Guys I just want to go Right now And get some Carthay Manhattans And then hug Chewbacca
