Forever Dog plus some nautical chat about the new cruise ship the disney treasure with kitra remick and peter seretta from the youtube channel ordinary adventures let's set sail on today's podcast the ride Welcome to Podcast the Ride, a theme park podcast hosted by three men who take all their pills with water from a souvenir sipper. My name is Mike Carlson. Joining me as always. Jason Sheridan. It's funny you say that. I do have a souvenir sipper that I bought online that I didn't actually buy in the theme park. I bought a Universal souvenir sipper because it had a big Pharos lighthouse on it. And how often do you see lighthouse merchandise? You just bought this is what you're saying?

No, like a year ago. Okay. How often do you sip from it? Pretty regularly. It holds a lot of water. So you will oftentimes just have a water glass? Because I'll be honest with you, that was mostly a joke. Yeah, no, I know.

But you do sip. How often do you think you sip from the lighthouse? Maybe like once or twice a month. I have a lot of these water bottles. I think it's cool. It sounds like I'm being insincere, but I do think that's cool. I should drink from my Pirates Dinner Adventure glass more and the different souvenir glasses I have.

But I don't have anything as fun as that as the souvenir sipper. I don't know if the chip on it would work if I went to Universal Orlando and I said, please reactivate this. Do you think they could do that? It's one of the ones where it's like drinks all day and you can reactivate them. Oh, that ship. Yeah. I don't think that's still going.

Yeah, I don't know about that. But it's worth a shot. Well, we'll see. It's been through the dishwasher a lot. Okay. Do you think you could go to like, where's the like city hall at Islands of Adventure? Oh, it would be on port of entry our guests are the real pros at this sort of right so they would know where to complain when you throw

like an absolute fit that your sipper won't get you free refills and then i'll be on a zipper because you know i'm gonna throw it in anger you would throw it at the employer at the wall at the wall oh that please I'm not totally uncouth. I do have manners. All right. Well, let's bring the guests and see where they would throw a sipper if they were having a fit at the theme park. From the great YouTube channel Ordinary Adventures, it's Kitra Remick and Peter Sereta. Welcome.

Did I say your last name right? I'm realizing now. I did. Okay, good. I just had a freak out in my mind. I should have checked that. No, I get it. I have a very unique name. Okay girl thank god you did great okay because

i would have edited this part out and it would have made me look i would have done it later and then imitated your voice saying great pronunciation um so yes thank you for coming a long time coming i feel like finally you guys have been uh we we have been Podcast the Ride listeners for so long. I remember, how long have you guys been doing this? Since 2017. Okay, yeah. So we started in 2019 and we were definitely listening before we started our YouTube channel. I remember how it happened too. Paul Shearer DM'd me and was like, Peter, they have made a podcast for you.

Wow, really? Yeah. So I'm not sure when that was. Probably like 2018 or something yeah because he did the show pretty quickly i feel like yeah yeah i'm forgetting which episode but yeah he did it pretty quick he was yeah sheer has been really good he's told a lot of people i feel like but i didn't realize he was the reason you got into it oh yeah we're obsessed with you guys we subscribe to all the patreon levels wow thank you yeah you guys are amazing and i feel so like

grateful and honored to be here. Oh, thank you so much. That's very nice. Thanks for doing this. Yeah. And we're missing Scott. We're on a Scott-free episode. We are.

Yes, thank you for pointing that out. About the points. I like talking about points. I love the points episode. So, yeah. So, on one hand, I apologize because it's not the three hosts. But on the other hand, we're Scott-free. So, if you want to talk points, we do anything today the sky is the limit but by the way quick aside about the point please yes

we recently like you know we're doing a lot of traveling now um we recently got into the uh like we love delta so we got a delta mx card yes and we travel a lot but not a lot in comparison to like people that actually travel. But that card, putting all our expenses on that card gets us upgraded to first class every time we fly. Really? Yeah. That's nice. It's nice.

Is there a big annual fee on it? Yes. Okay. It's like $600 or something. Does it have a credit, a travel reimbursement credit as well? Yes. Yes. Okay.

But it also gets you into the Delta Lounge, too. Yeah. And how is the lounge? I know we're supposed, ostensibly, we're talking about a cruise today, but how is the lounge i know we're supposed you know ostensibly we're talking about a cruise today but how is the lounge review wise the one in la is great yeah the one at lax is good the one in orlando is still nice but lax is better the one in orlando has these creepy mickey and minnie art uh paintings on the wall but the one in la if you get there early enough for breakfast they'll make you breakfast tacos like they actually have someone there cooking them and yeah wow lounge jason

lounge wise have we we have not talked about lounges a lot on the show and that maybe is because scott is a third host of the show i don't know i don't know where he feels i think he likes a lounge if he gets there but once in a while i've done an airport lounge i've never been in one i know right i thought we were going to talk about points like all the castaway uh is that what it's called the cruise loyalty yeah like and you just keep getting more and more free totes and stuff and i was excited for that i didn't even think about the uh go ahead the way disney does these castaway points it's infuriating because you basically get one point

for every cruise you go on. Okay. So if you go on like a three-night cruise, you get one point. If you go on a 14-night cruise, you get one point. Well, that's foolish. And then there's different levels.

So if you get to five points, you're at a different level. If you're 10 points, you're a different level. If you're a 50, you're at a different level. On Royal Caribbean, the other big cruise line yeah you get a

point for every day you every night you stay so i feel like that's better that makes a lot yeah it makes more sense i don't know why would they do i don't know that's but let's circle back around no i've never been in an airport lounge you've never been this is shocking to me scott has already tuned out of this he's furious right now right now. He's thrown his phone against a wall of whatever building he's in right now. His phone is broken and now he has to go get a new one. I don't know. I should think about trying it because I had. You should think about trying it.

I should try it. I should try it next time. I don't know that we get there. I get there pretty early. Yeah, you get there earlier than i do recently i really like show up very late in fact the last time we went to orlando i was late and missed the flight so i had it was like 15 minutes too late yeah so uh yeah you just yeah i don't know why i never even realized this about you i did last time because you know me i

i don't think of myself as splurging much. I did the UberX that can pick you up right curbside. And it's nice because when I flew in October and December, and when I flew in October, taking the bus to the, they call it the exit horrible it's awful and if you have mobility issues super awful it's like a death trap so i'm like oh i'm just gonna pay the extra 30 or whatever and they could pick us up at the curb and i can just sit for a little while longer uh because i'm like this airport is not ready for the olympics no no i it's just going to a dirty parking lot to get a taxi or a lift it's just a little much yeah you

know yeah but yeah so but you don't get like a warm buttered roll in an uber x i like you do at an airport lounge i know you sometimes get candy though sometimes you do sometimes get smart candy or a bottle of water though it's like strawberry hard candies yeah it's like whatever the cheapest candy i mean you don't i don't need candy in a lift or an uber or something i don't i mean i like candy i don't need it um but yeah it's interesting so i guess yeah we got to get you in a lounge, Jason. This is a shot to the list of my priorities in my life is to get you in an airport lounge. Yeah. So we'll figure that out.

Yeah. And yeah, any points talk, we can do it. Feel free. I'm so sorry to the people out there listening. I know some people are probably very angry that I brought up points, but. I know. I know. It was the only one who was upset was Scott.

But let's just seem to like it. Everyone seems well maybe one or two um but let's talk let's talk a little bit about your youtube channel because i am fascinated by the rise of the vloggers and you've been doing this youtube channel now for what five years uh i think this year will be our sixth year yeah so we're coming up on six and when? Like April or May? Yeah. May maybe? Yeah. So pretty soon.

Yeah. Congrats. And the channel does great. It's real fun to watch. It's in the rotation with Mr. Morrow when we're watching. Oh, what an honor. We love Nate. He's the best.

By the way, he is the greatest guy ever. I know you guys have met him and hung out with him, but he literally is the person you see on his videos and he's just like the nicest dude i was in all i mean i'm not even no no hyperbole i was in like all of him like wow he's like this is the guy he's this guy yeah i don't know how he exists like right i mean like it's hard to explain like because he's just so nice yeah and then i was like oh you're doing a panel we did a panel at comic-con for the to celebrate the street sharks last year uh and he's like i'm coming to that he showed up there and then like we saw him later uh yes very very nice uh uh and just like he seems like he runs disney world he just seems like well connected

there too he knows everybody he knows what's going on i'm like i was fascinated by that aspect as well which makes sense because obviously like that's what he does he's just there all the time um but yeah so you're you're traveling you're doing cruises you're doing disney world like i am i am a little jealous i'm a little jealous honestly because i'm like oh they're there now like oh look at they're over there like it is a little jealous, honestly. Because I'm like, oh, they're there now? Like, oh, look, they're over there? Like, it is a little bit of jealousy on my part. But, like, could you just talk about starting it and do, like, did you have grand plans for it? Like, what was, did you, it was just sort of, it happened and, like, unfolded as you went? Yep. Okay.

All right, I got it. Never mind. All right. You can tell the story. But, like, honestly, it just kind of snowballed into what it is now and we never not that we didn't talk about it but it's kind of like we started it and it's just like okay now i guess we're like full-time youtubers like so i used to operate i started this uh website slash film.com which is a movie news blog uh which i no longer own but we

got invited to Galaxy's Edge the opening of Galaxy's Edge and I was like no one's gonna and I used to as the theme park nerd we used to get invited out to Orlando

for openings of rides and stuff like that and I used to you know write up a blog post and she would take the photos but I was like no one's gonna want to read

I take really bad photos no one's gonna want to read about this land they want to see it right like so i was like maybe we should because we were watching vloggers we were watching like uh ten tracker adam the woo you know the ogs sure yeah and she was always like oh it'd be fun to start a vlog and i'm like no it'd be so much more work than you think it would be which is i mean it's both true both of it's true um but like we use that as an excuse to start the channel and it was supposed to be like we're gonna do one video

a month and if we ever do anything cool like oh we're going to galaxy's edge i'll show that and then it kind of yeah like i said snowball that first two weeks of galaxy's edge i'm not sure if you guys well you guys remember, you needed reservations to get into that land. And since we were such Star Wars nerds, all our friends put us as one of their plus ones on their reservation. So for the first two weeks, we were in Galaxy's Edge like... Every other day. Every other day. A lot. And every time we brought a camera, and at that point everybody couldn't get in there, so they were like, wanted to see what it was like. So our Galaxy's Edge videos kind of blew up right away um in a way that we didn't expect right yeah don't go back and watch them they're not oh they're bad they're really bad okay but um yeah

we started doing three videos a week um and it's become like our full-time thing now yeah right so is there like do you like how does the planning go like you probably saw as we were setting up this podcast it's like these guys don't plan very well for anything their setup looks haphazard they've been doing this forever but it seems like this is their first podcast but do you have like do you feel like you're do you have like six months worth of vlogs planned like how does it even work like that well peter's the planner okay so he'll i just kind of show up and i also edit the videos but yeah yeah so i'm doing i do the filming she

does the editing i do the planning right so like uh you know recently we went to japan doing that is like months of like us watching vlogs and reading i'll read those like lonely planet books and uh going on tiktok and seeing what's and then building a google map and then i'll be like you know what can we accomplish this day right yeah so it is a lot of like planning but i mean the regular stuff us going to disneyland is you know the week before us like seeing what's the new food items right new things what should we you know right what can we accomplish are there things like where you know the algorithm likes certain type like you know let's say for instance like we know that youtube if i say the word pie or something like it'll boost

my video like are there like secrets like that to youtubing maybe you shouldn't even tell me this maybe this is like a trade secret i wish there was yeah i wish there was i don't think they're in the title oh you don't want the bakers coming after you jason really should become like a pie influencer i'd watch that yeah just going around tasting the different pies yeah just keep going to house of pies just trying to make it's mostly just one place in hollywood ordering the same pie every time yeah you make the same comments every video hey guys uh ending the channel parking's gotten really bad yeah uh uh so so there isn't like it can't be like that specific yeah or i guess yet maybe the ai and i mean for a while like there was stuff that our channel

would hit for like if we did a star wars video right right right the the people that were watching and subscribing were star wars fans so like it would just perform better right but now i don't know i mean cruises does really well for us um we recently been doing a lot of international travel so we went to china recently did the theme parks over there. People seem to be really interested in traveling. Yeah. Now that is, I guess I do like that.

I like just watching videos of like walking around Japan or something, a 4k video and you put it on the TV and you just like kind of zone out a little bit. Yeah. There is something, I don't know. I don't know if that's just like. Vicarious. Yeah. Vicariously living vicariously probably on some level um so yeah so so yeah i guess star wars yeah that makes sense um as far as i like when you go now to these places i'm just so

blown away by how much this is blown up by how often you will see somebody taking video do you run into like oh someone else is taking video for their vlog in the section where we're trying to do our review of the new like food item or something like does that happen often a lot yeah i'm like an opening day or something when you know everyone's gonna be there right yeah like we were there this past week for the the video that we published today which i'm not sure when this is going up but um it was a video on avengers campus oh yeah yeah i watched yes uh we ran into our friends magic journeys and they were there doing the exact same thing clearly had the captain america sipper and they like they were doing the exact same thing as us and i was like oh no we got we're both doing the same video so is there like is

their etiquette is like okay they're reviewing the sipper and we have to move like they were here first is that just generally the general rule or you or you wait for them to stop or you do it at the same time well we i mean we featured them in our video they were they featured us in like we're all i mean not all of us friends but i would say most of the people are friends right so so it's also you're like the other thing is i've realized is people don't just watch ordinary adventures you know they also watch paging mr mara they also watch magic journeys or they also you know i mean and they like seeing that um in the same way that people like seeing avengers and see everybody come together, they love those. True.

There's times when there's a crossover. Right. No, you're right. I was about to make that same comparison because it does feel like. Not to compare us to the Avengers. No, you're saying you're like the Avengers. You're saying, would you say you're more like,

you're like the Captain America of the group and then some other people are. I'm Fat Thor. Oh, okay. I'm Rocket. Yes. And then, I mean, oftentimes when we will be watching, like sometimes there'll be like, oh, this person's in a video a lot.

And then all of a sudden they disappear. And then we're like, where did that person go? Oh, no. Like there's, and I'm trying to think if I have a specific, I won't say a specific person, but like there is, there is like a fascination about that as far as personalities are concerned too, where you're like, oh, it seems like this person's hanging out with this person a lot. And then they go away. I don't know what that's about, whatever. But then you can, if you're watching with somebody who is like-minded, you can speculate.

You can talk about it as if, you know, these are people we know. This is a reality show of some kind. Sparks were maybe flying, but now they fizzled out more 10 you could do a very tabloid style report it to your partner my favorite version of this i think it was jane and i were watching like the opening night of horrorights like 20 2021 I think like would have been the first one

that was back and it was just a torrential downpour in Orlando so scare actors were out and then the streets

are empty besides guests so we just kept switching between live streams and it would be like,

oh, this live streamer's meeting up with this live streamer under an umbrella and they're like, how about this rain? It's like, yeah, I might go to a house, but the wait's kind of long and you're in the rain outside. So it's just getting all the angles of like the soggy theme park.

And I'm like, this is my CTV for me. I love this. It's too bad. There's not like a Google map where you can see where the live streamer is. And I click onto them. That's a great idea. Everybody wears like a little Apple tracker.

And then you can, if you, if the right Patreon tier, then you can track. We should do that. Jason. We should do that for you for a, we'll. That's great. We should do that for you. We'll add a patron here.

What's up? We're going to add a tracker to you. Just put a tag on him. Okay. It's going to be a very high tier, though. People are really going to have to pay for that service. Oh, I see. To just see where you are at any moment of the day.

Yeah. Listeners might want that. We don't know. Oh. Oh, so it's my whole life. It's not just theme parks? It's your whole life, yeah. Oh, great. Okay. know oh oh so it's my whole life it's not just theme parks it's your whole life oh great okay

uh some sort of show like as if it was uh my neighbor truman some sort of it's like truman show but with no budget oh okay or my other neighbor ed tv yeah so i remember we remember ed tv yeah the other truman show yeah do Do you remember the real life version of that? They had before Twitch? Was Twitch? I think it was called Justin TV. Oh, really? I don't remember this.

And they used to have people like, I think iJustine was one of the first people that did this where she like would broadcast her life. Like you could see her sleeping. You could. The only time she would turn it off, I think, was, like, when she left her house. She would turn it off for, like, five minutes. I would totally watch that. So you couldn't see, like, where her house was.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I knew about, like, on Twitch, I knew there are people who live stream sleeping. I knew that is a genre. And then if you pay, like, if you donate enough, they'll, like, wake up. Oh, really? Yeah, I think it, like, I think it triggers alarms or something. Have you seen those? Maybe it's on TikTok.

Jason, we got to get you in on this. If you donate enough roses, a disco ball will come down and they'll wake up. Does a disco ball actually come down in their house? I mean, there's different scenarios. Okay, $100 to watch you sleep. To just torture me. No, no, no. Well, we don't even have the disco ball

Maybe it's just something else It's like But it's just to watch you sleep For a hundred dollars A month I would subscribe to that Level of Patreon Yeah I think

Thanks I guess So Club two Club one Club Z's Yeah well we'll talk about that Off the air

So We were talking a little bit about this and this is this is very embarrassing maybe and i'll just share my part of it what i was saying is you know the whole the politics of being invited to things is very interesting and also makes me feel a loserish sometimes because look we have a well-documented ghosting happen ghosting happening with knott's berry farm it's been well documented that knott's berry farm stopped inviting us ghost that are ghosting it might be we don't know that's the thing when ghosts happen you don't know which ghost is ghosting you the ghost that works in the pr office um but i am also fascinated by that because sometimes you're like oh look who got invited to this on YouTube.

And then sometimes you see a vlogger didn't get an invite. And this is always I'm so fascinated by this. And I do now having experienced it from doing this podcast a little bit. I am always like, I wonder what this person thinks about if they got invited and this person didn't. Like, does this does this weigh on your does this bother you like it bothers me i guess hopefully it doesn't there's a little bit of fomo there i'm not gonna lie like especially for the most recent thing like the disney treasure we already bought you know our voyage we're already planning to go but deep down you do hope like oh maybe we'll get invited

to like a preview thing and then seeing like all of our friends there yeah there's an advantage of being first right or being early I should say being early there's an advantage of being on the ship before the public is because then you can get out and like more people or you can like watch a show and there's not like a million people in the way

and you can get like a good shot or whatever yeah so there was a little bit of FOMO there for sure and it makes you like I try not to dwell on it too much but it you know I'm only human only human yeah I'm like why don't they like us it's weird because you know I came from the world of journalism with slash film and in that world if you don't like a movie you know just on to the next one and you get invited to the next premiere or the next test you know screening or whatever or set visit like it's not like they you don't get punished for having any critical thoughts but i feel like now that we're in the world of uh youtube and even you

guys with podcasting i think it's all lumped into influencer world, which I think is more, it's weird. It's a weird world where people are incentivized to just like everything. And we always want to be, I think one reason we have a big audience is as much as we do love to spotlight the things that we love, we are honest about the things that we don't like.

And I don't know why we weren't invited on the treasure, but there was a bunch of people. It was amazing. Yeah. Yeah. We, there was a private Island that Disney opened up last year called lookout key at lighthouse point.

Was that the one with the bugs? Yes. That was the one with the bugs yes that was the one with the flies and it just so happens that anybody that showed the flies wasn't invited on okay i don't know if there's a correlation yeah that's what we think we don't know interesting that isn't yeah i could see something like that happening i like to think that disney has never extended any invite to us because you know what maybe we'll be like very critical or something but i think actually what the case is if anyone ever tried to listen they were too

bored by what we were talking about that's probably more likely as they were like these guys are just talking about lucille ball too much like when are they going to actually talk about the ride like it doesn't make any sense so they realize how much little scene specials are on Hoopla to watch. But it is interesting because, yeah. Well, you got to think, too, like how much is just someone making a split second? Like, yeah, I got to finish this email with the invites for lunch or like, what are their number? No, it's just like a meaningless metric like i read so often about like people it's like yeah we really wanted to cast this person in something and then the studio was like uh they don't have enough instagram followers and it's like how does that

translate like what are the metrics what does that mean well that's also a thing i think disney's focusing on is they want tiktokers and instagrammers and you know you post a tiktok from the disney treasure of you dancing on the deck and it gets millions of views that's millions more people than would have watched our video on the treasure but i don't know it my argument is i think there's more of a connection there if you watch a 40 minute or 50 minute vlog you're not just like going through your your for you page so i think people that watch that kind of content could that you have the potential to convince them to go on a disney cruise where i don't think like a tiktok is going to convince anybody but that's just my right yeah that makes sense i mean look i'm what i argue that a two-hour

episode of a podcast might help influence you to do something i would say it would even if how many people do you think when saw david copperfield because of you guys we've heard a lot of them we've heard a lot of people that have gone to see the tale of blue 32 yeah and they are all delighted and and so yes it would make a lot of sense but i think it really not enough to save uh i left my m in vegas the m&m store that is true uh movie which i think has been retired because it seemed like it was dying when i saw it at the start of 2020 yeah well okay we can't save everything we can't do we can't work magic we're not david copperfield uh um but yeah so it is yes i try not to be like try to make up stories about what uh what like pr people think of us

in my head it's hard though you know because the other thing is uh uh my experience meeting pr people just like from uh college or at these various companies every time i would go to something it would be a new part it'd be like oh no jenny went to go work at like smeared off or something it's like, oh, they moved. This was their first, second job, and they just kind of – they were here for six months, and then they moved on. Every time, it's like a totally new person. But it's not – you're saying that they're not thinking too much about

like Mike Carlson and what they think of him and if he's funny or not in the right way. No. That's your point, right? Yeah, they're not analyzing your life from afar. Right, but sometimes it feels like they are.

Do you ever encounter PR reps when you go to like some of these theme park events that have actually listened to the podcast already? Never. Never? I don't think it ever has happened.

I've heard store of like, oh, So and so I was talking to someone who worked for the company And they really enjoyed your hotel Like such and such Yeah definitely people who work in the parks And work behind the scenes But never the actual people making the decisions

There's never been a hint that anyone has listened To a second of an episode Before which I guess is probably good Let's be honest. It's probably good because it's, you know. We're just a bunch of silly gooses. What are we going to do? We don't know what we're saying.

I don't know. Three silly gooses just being goofy, guys. So, yeah. You can look at the analytics and see how many listens are coming from a campus in Glendale. Oh, that's interesting. We can burrow down pretty far, but I don't know about that. I don't know. Yeah, we know the longitude and latitude of where people are listening.

I don't know. But we know like city wise. Do you have any sort of grand plans for the channel or is it just kind of going and cool stuff comes up? Is there like, are you going to do like, are we going to make a pilot? Like, is there anything, I guess you shouldn't reveal that really if I'm asking like a big ambitious plan. No, I don't know.

We just like doing what we're doing. I mean, Epic Universe this year is probably going to be a big thing for us. Right. The Disney Adventure, which is their ship going out of Singapore. Right. Those are our two big plans this year.

Big plans. We recently kind of in the last couple of years their ship going out of singapore right the one that are two big plans this year big plans uh we recently kind of in the last couple years got bit by the international travel bug and um so we want to do a lot more of that sure but is there let's real quick or not real quick uh is there stuff you saw in china anywhere that you were like particularly were excited about that like you want to tell everybody to go do? Oh my God. Universal Beijing. Okay.

I was going to say that's what I was going to ask. That one really surprised us because we went to Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing. And I think like I wasn't expecting much from Beijing and it was so awesome yeah yeah and we were over there in their city walk when you guys were doing your last city walk saga and I was it was like us oh yeah we're like listening to on the plane ride and stuff yeah um but they need to get out here and come to this one they have a Bubba Gump's over here too and we need to review the shrimp there you need to know how it tastes way different i bet but it like that park is so crazy because it debuted during the middle of the pandemic and almost no one's been there like at least from the states people are afraid to yeah people are

afraid i think to go to china and we we found i mean politics aside uh we found as tourists going to china it was very easy yeah it wasn't scary it was very intimidating but then once we got there it was very chill sure yeah i mean there was like police on every corner but they just they reminded me of like security guards like they're just like clocking in and clocking out and i don't know yeah yeah but that park is insane their jurassic uh right that world ride right is like amazing i hope they bring that to like epic universe or somewhere over here at some point yeah i watched the video yeah the video on that you sometimes you're like i'm not sure if this translates and i feel like it there's just no way it's not 10 times even better than every time we wrote it like literally 10 times and every time i was like are they real like they seemed so real

right yeah that's like a scoop vehicle the spider-man transformers vehicle yeah but it's like basically the same thing it's just there's a lot more practical stuff yeah on the ride um and yeah the crazy thing is i guess spoiler alert is the the was it indominus or t-rex that's coming at you on that like circular part oh i think it was an indominus right or i don't remember yeah indominus yeah yeah yeah yeah because that's the the transitions in that one is just so good there's a part where you're in the middle of that mean mean street of jurassic world i don't know what it's called but like the t-rex and the indominus are fighting each other and then the t-rex throws indominus through the

window and you're moving into another room and his head just comes in as you're going through the other room it's isn't there like a part where you go by and you see like the margaritaville like cups yes like from jurassic world that's good stuff there And there's no, not Jimmy, but just the cups. Just the cups, right. Yeah. Because the Jimmy Buffett robot would be a great tribute to the man. And it would be exciting to have. People would flock to the Universal Beijing if they knew that was there. Even the Jurassic World restaurant looked awesome.

Yeah. Just the scale, how big it was and unique and i always your guys is um a lot of your videos from asia i'm like that theme park food looks so good and so affordable yeah it's so much cheaper to get food right especially in tokyo that restaurant is so cool like it's a fine dining restaurant it's called hammond's and it has like a statue of John Hammond outside. Like they really, their water world has like this, what are you?

30 foot tall. Oh my God. Yes. Their water world, the statue of, of Kevin Costner. It's amazing. I'm like,

do these people ever seen water world? I don't know, but they love it there. So there is a, they get into it. Like likeness full Costner face. Yeah. Made out of trash. Made of trash like scrap metal wow so that's interesting to me why don't we have that here because that's a whole land yeah right it has a restaurant it's like there's a restaurant in the show and i think

like a churro stand yeah yeah it's become its own just like theme park specific ip even though there was a movie yeah for some reason that land is cool for a theme park fanatic because the costumes in that land are just stitch together pieces of cloth that they have found but some pieces of it have like theme park references so have like the uh institute of uh future technology yeah future technology will be on like someone's shoulder and like oh my god that yeah that's cool man i yes i am jealous of that stuff too i'm just i am one like water world just survived he'll never go away it seemingly like it's just like it's been they've built new ones in the last few years i was gonna say that's a new park and they decided to build over ip they have yeah that's movies so they

determine that water world is more important to do there than like a new movie man that's interesting and it's fun watching like those crowds like the chinese crowds fill up that arena and every one of them buys like a poncho they like to buy the poncho and sit in the the wet area like they yeah they love it and is it the same show i mean the same kind of like the plane everything and just in a different language but yes same exact show yeah wow okay it's funny like i wonder yeah is there do they have translations going like is there any way to know what it's in english no i mean it doesn't matter obviously for that one no yeah i'm just like wondering if they had like

updated the show in any way or anything. Do they have horror nights in Beijing? I think they have it in Singapore and Beijing, right? And Tokyo? Or is it one of them? They have it in Tokyo. I know that. I remember seeing a video of like one of them where like somebody was in a bathtub and then they popped out. Did you ever see that?

Yeah. And I don't know where that was, but it wasn't in America. Yeah. I was like, wow. Maybe that was Beijing. Maybe it it was because i saw that too somebody was literally submerging water and would pop out and it seems dangerous yeah i was like i hope they're paying him it seems like there's not there's like a law against that one of the universal parks in asia eight horror nights was all day long and included but it was only a few houses.

And then I think when the sun went down, maybe there was a little more stuff. But it wasn't a separate ticketed event. Right. Interesting. Yeah. Let me ask this. You've been to a lot of places. You've done a lot of rides now.

If there could be one ride that you've ever been on that just existed next to your like home that you could just pop out the door and go on shanghai pirates of the caribbean for me okay or the jurassic world ride was pretty good too okay but shanghai pirates so good because that's another one right like the video makes me think it's amazing yeah it's so it's crazy how big and scale it is like you really feel like you're underwater you don't see the ends of the screens anywhere right and that one yeah i guess we've talked a little bit about it but it's like there's a lot of like practical effects and robots and animatronics and then there's these big crazy dome screen type things that make it feel like you're being submerged in water and

then popping out of the water yeah and the boat goes like all over it like goes backwards it goes sideways you're like how how's this you kind of don't know where it's gonna go at one point it goes like inside a ship and you you're kind of surprised that it goes into the ship and it's really like i experienced of course on guardians Guardians, and Scott always makes fun of the way I describe things, but Guardians of the Galaxies, the Epcot ride, I never had been handled like that. That's the way I described it. I was handled on a ride.

It felt so precise. And it seems like that boat is similar, where you've never been on a boat where you feel like there's pinpoint accuracy of where it's pointing you and what it's doing yeah like it's an unusual feeling especially for a boat what would you pick i don't know why that's the first one that came to my head i have to pick something from asia it could be anywhere it could be anywhere resistance would be oh okay see i'm a big star wars person but like in my mind still your favorite after all the rides that you've been on i think so but the thing is i could just drive to Anaheim. Like, yeah, I guess probably the smart thing to do is to pick something from a far away.

Yes. You're putting actual thought into the. I want it in California. So you're stressed. You need to calm down a little. Would you be mad if Rise of the Resistance jostled you more? Like this is the constant refrain that I'm saying About the ride I wish it would fuck you up a little more

I mean I wouldn't be mad But like It's not a gripe you have with it I'm not sure that vehicle At what point would that be If you got hit with lasers I wish you were getting pummeled with lasers from stormtrooper i want to feel the heat i want the yeah i want like that would be kind of cool

i would like that if they update it's interesting because i remember we went to d23 a couple years before uh galaxy's edge opened and i remember clearly talked to imagineer in front of like the rise of the resistance area and he was like you, you're going to feel the heat of Kylo Ren's lightsaber. And I was like, oh, that's cool. Like, and I, you don't feel the heat. So I'm like wondering, like, did they get rid of that or. Probably. But maybe it was when it comes through the ceiling.

It could either have been the comes to the ceiling or when he like walks out. Yeah. One of those two points. But that would have been cool. Right. Or are you like. Yeah. Great great yeah i wonder yeah i guess because like how would they have even done that from the ceiling like just make the ceiling hot like just a space just funneling a space heater yeah yeah like one of those things you get like when you're eating outdoors at a restaurant no yeah they just dress it up to look like a lightsaber.

Or that's a pretty good, like, if you have a patio and you're a Star Wars guy, you could just have like a lightsaber space heater, maybe, or whatever, patio heater. That would be a good. I'm sure you can sell a lot of those if you could design them. Yeah, probably. And it would have to be like the Sith lightsaber because of red. I mean, it doesn't have to. It doesn't have to be red, for sure. It just makes the most sense if it's red.

Yeah. Because you could have a blue flame. Flames are blue. They can be. They could be purple. Sure. The things that amaze me about the best rides in Asia are like the magic tricks that they pull off. Like on Pirates, there's this part where Jack is a skeleton.

He's like skeleton animatronic. And then you're going towards him. And all of a sudden, like he just turns into a full on Johnny Depp animatronic. And it's similar to that, what the Beauty and the Beast in Japan effect where you're just like, I don't know. Now I've said this before. Every time like we dig into like hey what was that it's like that's like a pepper's ghost it's all the same thing oh it's mirrors but i don't know

i still don't really know exactly how it is because it does just look like things are disappearing but yeah those those are pretty amazing i assume we'll get some version of that in the next round of rides out here i'm assuming something will use a disappearing thing i don't know which one i would hope so i i'm hoping that that pandora boat ride is the shanghai pirates that's what people are rumored that's the rumor that would be great where do you think that's going oh he's got a theory hollywood back lot yeah that's what i think and i it took me a while To come around to the idea Of it

The monorail goes right there So I'm like How I guess you'd go under it Well the thing is They're going to take over Those bus lanes Right

So it's going to Like they're going to have to Transfer those bus lanes To where they're going to Have to build They want to build A parking lot Across the street

Right And they want to So this is going to take forever We're not going to get this Until Well they claimed five years But five years ago They were talking about the garage

The gateway The eastern gateway Well but that was when they had An unfavorable city council Oh right At the time And now the city council Will do whatever they want

So we're good We're back to good Like finally Rubber stamp Everything But yeah Yeah That's

I assume it is going Hollywood And then the Coco Is going behind The coaster Or yeah I'm assuming In that like facade In that area back there

Yeah I think that's the best place To put it Like there's not much Going on in that area It's kind of sad Because it's our On our first date

We Our first ride Was Monsters Inc Yeah I do love The Monsters Inc ride So we're gonna to lose that. I feel like that's Disneyland history because it was the limo ride before that. So that'll be sad if they will lose that.

Sorry, was your first date at Disneyland? Yes. We actually met at Star Wars Celebration. We hung out at Star Wars Celebration, which is like a Star Wars convention. And then once that was over, we a star wars um convention and then once that was over we walked to disneyland and we went to dca and we got margaritas at rita's margaritas and then we went on whatever had the shortest line which was monsters inc at the time yeah and yeah that's very sweet i i was like hold on did you go on a first date where you, like, guaranteed three hours in a car, 90 minutes each way to Disneyland? That's awkward, yeah.

Yeah, it's just like, so what do you like on your pizza? So, no, that's very sweet. That's always a nice story of a first date where you, like, go to a second location, you know. What year was that Star Wars celebration? 2015? 2015, yeah. Okay. That's always a nice story of a first date where you go to a second location. What year was that Star Wars celebration? 2015? 2015, yeah. Okay.

We walked over to the Captain EO Theater and we saw a preview for the movie Tomorrowland. Yeah. After as well. Oh, man. The hype was real for that. Yeah, we were so excited. That's going to be the best movie ever. That was so good. And it had the song from Carousel of Progress in it. So that's our song. That's going to be the best movie ever. That movie was so good. And it had like the song from Carousel of Progress in it.

So that's like our song. Oh, that's nice. Did you guys follow The Optimist at all? Yes. No, or you did. I did. Yeah. I have like a PDF that's like a 30 or 40 page explainer of the storyline of The Optimist.

Because I was kind of following it as it was happening and then just online i'd see it like oh if you've gone to chili john's today bob gerr was hanging out or something and it's like ah i was right down the road you didn't make it though i didn't make it no i didn't really uh play along i was just kind of following you guys should do an episode on the optimist like have someone on that like did the whole thing yeah yeah that was a cool i mean i didn't get to i kind of followed it from afar like you did yeah but i heard some of the stuff they did and it was crazy because they were and there was a literal uh jj um style JJ style mystery box that they're like, we found this box in the archives. Yeah.

And this was all like hype, months hyping up Tomorrowland. Yes. And then I feel like all of the mystery that was like laid out was not in the movie. It was almost unrelated to all of this. Because it really felt like

oh wow tomorrowland's gonna be for the nerds or at least it's gonna have the treats in there for the nerds well i had also submitted what happened like through one of the casting websites they were looking for extras to just ride space mountain and or no ride the matterhorn like for hours and i was like yeah i want to do that oh that seems and then there is probably a five second shot in the movie yeah my back would be destroyed that is is anyone has any vlogger done a matterhorn challenge how many times you ride the matterhorn in one day? That's tough. See if before your neck goes completely out of whack.

I'll let someone else do that. That's a good look. That's a, maybe if we start a vlog, that'll be my first video. There we go. It's like, how many times can I ride

the Matterhorn before I tap out? Twice. Yeah. Maybe once. Old steel spine Carlson is doing the challenge. I feel like a lot of people

I know have declared they'll never do the Matterhorn again And now I'm not there I'll do it We have a trick First of all You need to go on the Fantasyland side Which is the right side

That one isn't as violent And then when you sit in the bobsled And you can easily remember that because it's the right side Not the wrong side That's a good way to remember When you get in the bobsled and you can easily remember that because it's the right side not the wrong side okay sure no it's a good way to remember yeah when you get into the bobsled you want to grab the seat in front of you and kind of like prop your back off of your own seat and you just ride the entire ride like that and you will not it doesn't really yeah it makes it so enjoyable wait okay so if you're holding on the seat in front of you, does that mean you should hopefully know the person in front of you?

Or I guess maybe there's rails. There's bars. Yeah. Picking your. Unless you're in the very front. So you like. Then you kind of just have to prop your back off of the. Yeah.

But it is a game changer. What if you like grab the skull of the person in front of you? You can try that too. Just hold their cheeks. But I feel like once we learn that secret, secret now anyone like even if they don't want my advice i'm like you gotta do that when you do the matterhorn we learned it from a vip tour guide and ever since i've learned that like it makes the matterhorn so much wow this is this is game-changing news yeah i'm glad this is this is the matterhorn fun dude did During that date, were there any other tips that the VIP guide gave about riding rides or anything?

Oh, riding rides, no. Or that was the only one? It was mostly like hidden Mickeys and stuff like that. Yeah. I don't know how often you do a VIP. I only did one VIP guide once, and I tried to get in the Matterhorn with the basketball court, but they said, no way you can do that. That's not. I actually got walked off the Matterhorn once, and I got to get in the matterhorn with the basketball court but they said there's no way you can do that that's not i actually got walked off the matterhorn once and i got to see the basketball what yeah you never told me this oh my gosh i mean it's literally just it's not what

you think it is it's like one hoop and it's just like inside of the matterhorn you're kind of like peter still threw a souvenir sipper at the wall wall he was so i edited out the noise of it hitting the wall that's like the one cool ride that i've gotten walked off of well that is that is a big deal though brag but yeah but that they also explained to me like look it's not yeah a court like it's you're picturing like an nba court up there a little hoop and then right yeah but it's like danger i was described like it's dangerous yeah it's kind of a death trap but uh but they didn't have phones to occupy themselves. Right. Did you do the, have you been, have you gone to the bathroom in the Secret Star Tours bathroom

for employees? No. Because I got to do that. But I did do the Secret Runaway Railway bathroom, which is very boring. Oh, wait, wait. Is that open in the public? Because you're like in the queue for Runa for runaway railway and then it's not public but we were on the vip tour and i had to go to the bathroom and then you just go into this very

boring hallway and it's like just i was expecting more interesting wow they probably don't want people to like i want to get i want to see if i can get in this secret try to get in all the secret bathrooms i bet they all have one they i'm sure they do yeah but i and the bathrooms are uh at least those star tours one unremarkable yeah nothing special about it but the idea of going to it is so interesting and fun to me that i now want to go to the bathroom and all the secret bathrooms i always i mean it's not super challenge secret anymore but if i go to tiki room i always go to the single occupancy that's a good one because there's still like i feel like vintage fixtures well they changed those bathrooms if i'm wrong

but they're both family bathrooms now i believe there used to be like there used to be like urinal men's bathroom and now i believe they're two family bathrooms because i went in there to try to change a toddler they did not have the proper table and i had to go to the much more crowded bathroom across the way and that was a that bathroom sucks crazy frontier yeah that's pretty i should have gone over to the we need to do an episode about the baby changing area on main street because that is it's it's fairly efficient but it's interesting i don't know if you've been in this. This is, you know, this is the perk of having a child is that you can now go in certain places that you couldn't before. So my wife has gone into the place where you can nurse now at Disneyland.

So she needs to come on and talk about that. So we got to talk about all the different places. But it is like a weird assembly line where you're waiting in line with probably a bunch of children that have a big shit in their diaper and there's a line of parents holding their kid or their kids like whatever and you're just waiting for these little stations to open up and they're big there's a couple people in there almost like you're you know uh collecting your meal at a mcdonald's like oh wave over in here and then you go and you go and then you go into these little stations and then you're right by different. I didn't even know this existed.

Yeah, it's right on. It's by, I'm trying to think, it's what's that? The last store on Main Street on the right if you're looking at the castle. Yeah, the Christmas shop or whatever. Yeah, it's like right next to there and that is where you go to change your child. And there's so many people in there. But it is themed and there's like little child and there's so many people in there but it is themed and there's like little tvs and there's like a little area for kids to run around but i'm like in the middle of like oh god we gotta change this she's having a fit i'm still like

the theming in here is nice okay it's really good to be like making things for a future episode some enrichment activities to tire myself out there. Yes. I love the idea that there's this list of things that having a child unlocks, like the Petrodon Flyers at Islands Adventure. Oh, my God. I'm so jealous. This is things Jason's talking about. Like holding boots. Yes, except what he's really

What he really wants to do And he said this before Is there's these events right Which Orlando Former events And now Have you guys ever been to one? No

No and that We were talking about What a great guy Nate Pager Miss Morrow is He almost Obviously I would have had to change plane tickets and get a longer hotel stay and deal with, you know, a pet hotel.

But he's like, oh, you should just stay a few more days. Come to the Orlando Informer event. I'm like, oh, you almost got me. We're really cool. We're going to get you on Pterodon Flyers. Because that is where you can do terradon flyers without a child right yeah i will say we've only done one orlando informal event it was amazing totally recommend but for some reason that ride wasn't open like maybe it was down for refurbishment

like there was so sad i was like this is my chance and then it was it wasn't working right yeah because i tried in like 1999 or 2000 and it was the longest wait in the park i think and my parents were just like do you really want to do this oh man wouldn't you rather do spider-man i'm like yeah yeah yeah well we'll get you on it i don't know could we Maybe like Maybe we have an inside person That can like Sneak you on or something Well if you get me a big lolly Well we can dress you like a child

And a sailor suit Yeah What do you mean get you one You have one It's hanging in your closet at home Yeah I know And it's getting everywhere You guys need to go to the

Orlando Informer event Like it is Literally walk up to any ride except for maybe hagrid's maybe it's like five minute wait there that's amazing and every food place just has free food it's crazy you go up to the food places and they they bring you out but you don't pay anything and you see the total on the cash register it's like a hundred thousand dollars that have gone through of like churros there's like this one restaurant you're like wow

that always fascinates me that like yeah and unlimited bread pudding I mean yeah it's a miracle I haven't been there already I was gonna say

you could get like so you could have unlimited food at the Fantastic Four Cafe yeah basically how have you not been there I know

and just like you were just ordering a thousand dollars worth of breadsticks. You get to have access to this secret walkway between the parks because they connect the parks. Yes. Whoa.

Really? I didn't realize this. Yeah. So is that where the train goes? The Hogwarts Express? No, it's closer to Nickelodeon. Yeah. It's like up in the front.

I mean, it's kind of like the same area that if you're an age of 10, those mazes are kind of right i don't know yeah maybe okay you can see the impact zone the old sound stages where they get professional wrestling took place yeah wow all right well do they do these by the way have you seen um our friend ryan uh for the love of theme parks just recently did this episode of his he does these documentaries on YouTube and he did it about wrestling. Oh, I did watch that. I haven't watched this yet. That was awesome. Yeah, I should watch that.

It's very, very comprehensive, but also frustrating because WWE doesn't allow even a second of footage to be on YouTube. So it's like all like still photos. So I had to be very creative editing it. Right. But you did a good job. Yeah. Like you have the WCW tapings at the entrance of MGM Studios. so it's like all like still photos. So I had to be very creative editing it. Right. But you did a good job. Yeah, it was great.

The WCW tapings at the entrance of MGM Studios. What a time. It was just chaos. I didn't remember. There was like people on top of like where the sign. Right. MGM Studios and jumping off there and stuff. Wow.

People were freaked out because they had an ambulance. Like, oh, he's getting stretchered out in an ambulance. But it's like, I think, what was it? They used an actual Reedy Creek ambulance. So everyone's just freaked out. Yeah, we owe a couple wrestling. Jay Leno's wrestling career episode has to happen in the next year or so. What?

Jay Leno had a match in WCW. And they ran an angle on The Tonight Show. Oh, my God. And Jay wrestled, and Kevin Eubanks, his band leader, got involved. Kevin looked jacked, too. And Kevin looked like he was the wrestling fan. Kevin knew what he was doing.

And I was begging our friend Matt Cardona, because he makes wrestling figures. I go, people want Jay and Kevin and he said okay I would make it Jay and I go no no no no Jay and Kevin

and he goes alright fine and I go if you can figure out he goes if you can get the likeness if you can get Jay to sign off

and Kevin to sign off I will do it because it's not like you just gotta show up at Bob's Big Boys every uh well this is what by the way we went there

with my dad when he was in town like not thinking that he would be there and he shows up every week he was just there I Big Boys every this is what by the way we went there with my dad when he was in town like not thinking that he would be there and he shows up every every week he is ever I haven't seen him a little bit but Scott has seen Jay a couple times in the last few months I feel like in Burbank yeah so I if we can get to the

big dog garage I feel like part of it is just us doing an interview with Jay and then getting him to sign a contract to allow Matt to make a wrestling figure of him and kevin um and i guess we had to find kevin too then but i that i do i want that's like my most wanted figures one of my most wanted figures is jay do they have a figure of david arquette no i don't oh no i think they do i think. I think he may have maybe made one. But I think, yes, that happened.

But, yeah, he has made some more obscure things. And then sometimes I'll be like, you know, Regis Philbin did a lot of WrestleMania. And he's like, no, nobody wants that. No, no, no. They do. Yes. I want it. My friends want it.

We need a Regis figure, please. And then usually he just blows me off. But he's wrong. He's wrong about what people want. Let's talk about the Disney treasure. How long ago? You just got back from this pretty recently. Yeah, we went in January.

January. Yeah. Okay. That is recent. Yeah. How long would you guys say the, you know know doing this thing to make a video about it is on average you mean where it comes out yeah when it comes out oh filming and then how quickly we get it out yeah upload it does it depend on the i think it depends on what we're filming like

so for halloween heart nights i'll stay up all night and try to get out as quick as possible you know um with the disney treasure we weren't like on the maiden voyage or anything so we didn't feel that pressure of like trying to get it out super quick right so it's usually i think it depends but like it usually takes me a few days to edit and we're kind of scaling back this year and only posting one video a week unless it's like very topical or something yeah but um that those i got out i think like a week after so we also usually don't edit while we're there so like if we're on a cruise or we're in japan we're not yeah gonna waste the time they're editing right until we get home yeah it just depends on the situation but i'll never stress myself out like trying to except for halloween horror nights that's the one that all yeah that i'll stay up all

night for but that one's interesting too because like orlando you get one day one media day to film in the houses the rest of the time you can film in the park yeah but out here and like at a horror night season i would just as i was getting ready for bed turn on the live stream and every night someone was in houses yeah yeah I would hear you'll be in line

with someone like a live streamer with like their their flash on going to the oh yeah there was somebody in front of us

who was like live streamer or something they literally had their flash on the entire time and nobody said anything they didn't get in trouble

that's dangerous for the actors yeah and I'm like that's so rude like I don't know because it's blasting light in their eye yeah yeah i'm trying to think i guess i don't know if that's happened but it does feel like there's just a steady stream of people that something like that would be like it would be more annoying if you were like in a little small group to like i'm sure it's annoying but it's also just like like there's just sometimes you're in those houses and i'm like there's a hard line of 25 people that are going through each like show

scene too yeah where i'm like which by the way is good for me who's still a little scared yeah but i understand it's like making the experience less good so i'm conflicted about that because anytime i've ever been there and like and just because of the way the line is, the flow is controlled. I ended up being like the first part of the line. It's a little scary. So we went to in Orlando. There was, what was it called? It was like the night before opening night.

It was like a premium, a ticketed event. Oh, right, right, right. And it was empty. No one bought it. Nobody was there. It was amazing because like, I would definitely do it again but I don't think they're going to do it again.

I think it's because they announced this way after so everybody already bought their opening night tickets and stuff and they're like we're not going to spend twice as much the night before.

But like every house was like you were in it alone. So I don't know if that would be scary for you or it was like yeah. It's one of those where like I know that's like I would do it

and I know it's good but I would still be a little bit like yeah i will say the cool thing about that i'm usually in your boat mike where i like having the conga line because i kind of right can see stuff coming and it's not as scary but the cool thing with this is you got to see every single scare and scene and like effect yeah right right right it was basically they were performing for you yeah walking in that alone that preview night too food was included yeah food was included so it was a really good value and i don't think i think they lost money because nobody bought tickets so i don't i don't anticipate them ever doing that again which is such a shame so i thought it was totally worth it. Yeah, we'll see. I mean, I was going to say the rumor.

Hopefully, Scott has at least said he's going to do some Halloween stuff for the first time this year. He's the only one that hasn't, right? Well, Jason also has not. Jason and Scott are both scaredy cats, and I am a little less of a scaredy cat. Let's just put it that way. That's my big brag.

I'm a little less of a scaredy cat. I said I would do it, but you have to push my ass in a wheelchair. I'll push your ass in a wheelchair. So you can't nail a scare actor. You can't freak out and push me into a scare actor. Hey, I'll push you, but there's no guarantee of what I'm going to do when I get scared. Okay, well, just pushes you in front and runs the other way. Honestly, I think that would be less scary for you because they're looking

for like the normal height of people. Well, sure. They're not going to say I can't cover my eyes. Yeah. Just put a blanket

over your head. Yeah. Like I may accidentally will you into that giant pile of fake shit at the Six Flags Fear Fest Sewer of Souls accidentally

because I get scared by a scare actor. So we'll see. I'll do my best to not be scared. And that's solely BPA plastic. All the BPA that they removed from plastic, they put in that big shit. They put in the sewer of souls.

Yeah, yeah. Have you done sewer of souls at Six Flags Fright Fest? No, we've never done Fright Fest. Oh, wow. Really? Okay. We were thinking about doing it last year, but we just never got around to it. I think it's worth it. They're doing a lot more IP, whether that's just never got around to it. I think it's worth it.

They're doing a lot more IP, whether that's a good thing or bad thing. I don't know. Yeah. But it seems interesting. It was very intriguing. Maybe this will be the year that we'll finally do it. We could all go in the sewer of souls together if you want, if we want to go on opening nights. Hopefully this year we do it.

Everybody does it. So everybody will get to walk the like 50 miles that you end up walking when you go to six flags because of how spread out the park is and how confusing the layout is still to this day to me um but let's go back to disney treasure so how many how many different crew like disney cruises have you been on at this question i know that i am a gold level so how many is that that That sounds impressive. That's at least five. Wow.

Okay. That's under 10. I don't know what the number is. But we've been on every Disney ship except for the Dream. Yeah. Okay. So right now, currently, there's how many? Six?

Yes. So we've been on at least five of them. Okay. And they're all in those 15 Disney approved words. So the treasure, the dream, is there a wish there's the wish fantasy the magic and the wonder magic okay we don't have believe yet so maybe believe might be like yeah and then this year they're coming out with the destiny and the adventure destiny feels like a new one yeah as far as disney approved words yeah so that's interesting okay the weird thing about destiny is there's no star wars on the ship and you think like

i know you're recently down on star wars but i feel like out of all their properties destiny when i think destiny i think like you know the hero's journey skywalker saga sure yeah that makes sense and there's star wars like do they have they have most of the IP on all the ships? Like, there's always, like, a little Marvel something, a little Star Wars something? The newer ships, yes. The older ships are more, like, nautical themed. They're not as themed. The four legacy ships, the older ships, were kind of made during, like, the Michael Eisner times.

The glory days. The glory days. The glory days. That's post Big Red Boat. Yeah. Do you remember the Big Red Boat? I've seen YouTube documentaries, but I don't remember it. It was just, I think they subcontracted

with a cruise company. We got to do that. We got to do a Big Red Boat episode. Yeah, we got to do a Big Red Boat. I only know, remember it because of the commercials on vacation planning vhs's or parades and stuff but it's interesting because you go on the older disney ships and it feels very michael eisner in that he was kind of almost like embarrassed to have like mickey and friend like do you know i mean like yeah yeah like when he opened dca there's no mickey and friends animal kingdom no mickey and friend like uh so like the

lobbies this it feels like the golden age of cruising but it doesn't feel disney in any way there's like some carvings of mickey like you know kind of look subtle yeah right so i mean that's what he was into and i i think those earlier boats were less themed than the new boats and that's why i like the new boats they're like they're really themed out there's tons of ip all over the place and the adventure like so the new boats are the wish and the adventure the wish came out like right at the end of the pandemic you mean or sorry wish in the treasure um well i keep on saying it's weird because the theme of the treasure is adventure it's very adventure they're like live your adventure and there's all these adventure shows adventure land theming and they should have called that the adventure i think and the

theme of the wish is kind of like fairy tale magic okay yeah princess Princess. That's confusing. But also, Aladdin is on the treasure, not the one that is called Wish, which is about wishing. Yeah, it's very confusing. So what is the theme? Is the theme of treasure wishing? No. Is it always opposite? Is it always a different thing?

But the cool thing about the treasure, think that you guys i know nobody in the podcast the ride group has been on disney no i know this is one of the areas where we have not indulged or experienced it which i i just joseph we were both we met like strangers the other day not strangers i guess they weren't my neighbors of yours yeah but they were like hey we just wanted a disney cruise you got to do they had a giant disney cruise bag yeah yeah and we were like oh do you like and they're like oh we love it right it's awesome it will change your life yeah yeah and this was just they didn't know like they didn't know who we were and they were just they just were giving us advice like as a human to another human but the reason why i think you'd like the treasure uh most is it's the it is a cruise ship

made for theme park fans right because it has spaces based on haunted mansion based on uh jungle cruise based on 20 000 leagues under the sea yeah yeah so it's like that that is yeah enticing to me more so now it's hard because on the one hand the old boats are touched by michael eisner who's never never made a mistake in his life so i have to like his decisions there but what you're describing is more what i want from a disney experience yeah and some purists like those boats more because they're more luxury more less like in your face disney but i kind of want the in your face disney i don't want to go on i don't want to go stay at a disney hotel and not see yeah right like i want mickey to tuck me

in yeah i want like that knott's berry farm thing where like the elves elves tuck you in or what who or snoopy did you say there's no not elvis that's what vegas is our vegas service where elvis tucks you i I'm sure On the Disney cruise Doesn't Mickey call you Before you're sailing Yeah I think so We did that like My very first Disney cruise

I don't know why We've never done it since But you could have Like an automated call Will happen to you Like a week or something Before your cruise And it's like

Mickey like Get excited Come on the cruise Like Which is very magical Don't forget to check Maritime law Bring your passion.

You can do stuff out here you can't do online. Think about it. Does Mickey have a wake-up call, though, at the resort? Is Mickey the one who makes a wake-up call to you at Disneyland Resort? He probably does. That sounds right. For a while, you could request. Right, you would request it.

What, like your birthday or something? He'll call you? Well, no, you could just go like, do you want to wake up and call from Mickey, Goofy, or Woody? Oh, so you could choose the character.

You could choose the character, yeah. Okay, but Goofy would forget to call you sometimes probably? Yeah. Gosh, sorry. He's calling you like five days later. I totally forgot. I set my alarm for 9 p.m.,

not 9 a.m. I'm sorry. I have time blindness for 9 p.m., not 9 a.m. I'm sorry. I have time blindness. I can't tell time anymore. Yeah, that's fun. I mean, I want a lot of that. Really, the number one thing I want is Mickey in a full Captain Steubing love boat outfit and an impeccable white sailor- suit captain's suit and that's what they

the newer ones for sure have that he has a nice little sailor suit on does he have captain's suit well whatever you would call it does are there multiple outfits that mickey has on the boats have you do you see him in multiple outfits over the course of the weekend okay so there's a pirate's night he'll dress up as a pirate okay uh there's like a formal night. He'll dress up as a pirate. Oh, okay. There's like a formal night. If you do one of the longer cruises, he'll dress up in a tuxedo. Ooh. I love tuxedo. And then he's got his classic like sailor outfit or captain outfit. Is there another one?

If you go on an Alaskan cruise, he's in like a- Oh, Alaska. He wears like a little parka, I guess, or Eskimo outfit. I don't know. Right, right. Okay. Because that's good to know because I do want costume changes from Mickey. Oh yeah, and then on the island, the private

islands that you go to, which is like why we love Disney cruising so much, he'll wear like his little board shorts and his special outfits. Yeah, have we done, I mean we talk about Mickey's special outfits a lot on this show but I do. We should try to do

a conference around that. Yeah, what's your favorite? I mean there's talk about Mickey's special outfits a lot on the show, but I do. We should try to do a conference around. Yeah. What's your favorite? I mean, there's so many to choose from. Decades of special outfits. If you ever do an episode on special outfits, you need to get Disney Dan. I'm not sure if you've ever seen his YouTube channel. Yeah, they are.

He literally just does the costumes of Disney. And he's so great. Maybe he already has like a google document of all the special outfits is a wiki yeah yeah because it would be i there's so much stuff like that that i wish there was a comprehensive list of like here's every outfit mickey wore in 1985 like and i just a picture of all of it i no one took that good a record so i'm sure there's clothes that he wore that just like there's no picture of it we don't know yeah like what did he yeah like what did he wear at um the what is the state fair like do we know all the outfits mickey wore at state fair the like limited

time event 30 years ago i don't think we do but somebody i wish there's like polaroids in a box yeah east berlin mickey the wall just fell and he finally got Levi's. East Berlin Mickey. Yeah, that would be good. So all the characters are like the main five or six also are all on the boat? Yeah. Do they all have the wardrobe changes? Do they all kind of dress similarly?

Okay. That's good. Again, this is a good check in the right column for me. the wardrobe changes? Like, do they all kind of dress similarly? Okay. That's good. That's, again, this is a good check in the right column for me. If you love meeting characters, I would say Disney Cruise is the best place to meet them

because they're very easy to meet. They're always around and the lines are usually pretty short. Okay. And do they have, like, you can't meet Star Wars characters

or is it chewy on the boat, on some of these boats? They used to have a Star Wars day at sea where, like, the characters would be around. On the new ships, Chewie on the boat, on some of these boats. They used to have a Star Wars day at sea where like the characters would be around. On the new ships, like on the Treasure, they have a Star Wars area in the kids club. Okay. Which you could go as an adult without children. You could go in a special times.

They'll allow everyone to go in. Right. And they had stormtroopers there, Chewie and Ray. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So they're not just wandering, is a shame i wish chewy was just but i think that's one outfit on and was walking around yeah but i think that's one thing

a lot of people that wonder that have never been on disney cruise like why would i want to go on a cruise with all you know there's tons of children right whatever a lot of the children just go to the kids club okay and i think that's the pro tip for a parent right is literally you can drop the kids off in the kids club and then go have your own fun. So you can park them there basically. And they love it. Yeah. Like there's an area of that that's imagineering and they can like design rides.

Oh, that's cool. It looks really cool. Yeah. Can an adult also design a ride if they wanted to or is that only kids? Only children. But they do have open houses. Yeah. But you can't design the rides.

You can just look at the little stations. That is a mistake though because I would like to design a ride. Am I the only one who has been on a cruise period? Yes, I think so. Because my family went on a cruise in like 1997, New York to like Bermuda, which is of course a fun vacation island uh in the middle of the

atlantic ocean um here there's a triangle there huh well i was you don't have to tell me twice about that triangle i was so scared going i was a nervous child i was an anxious child i was terrified the bermuda triangle and 1997 there's titanic stuff everywhere there's documentaries on tv there's kids books about like what happened at the titanic and of course the you know hit movie and i was so scared and for whatever reason no adult took me aside to go like listen to me there's no icebergs near bermuda you don't have to worry about this the ship is not going to sink uh because of that um but uh yeah it was a lot of yeah we were put at the kids club a lot we certainly had days at the pool and like we all got packed

together for like breakfast and dinner and i was like the age where you got the the stamp on your badge like because everyone wore names tags or whatever i could wonder this shit myself my brother was just a little too young to do that and he was very mad that i could do that uh but there i mean there there is there's a lot more stuff on cruise ship nowadays for sure i mean we ate dinner i think at the same place every night we always had the same waiter i know this has rotational dining, do they call it? Where you do different restaurants, but the waitstaff comes with you, so you see the same people.

But my big memory of that cruise were midnight buffets. Yeah, that's not a thing anymore. That's not a thing anymore. At least on Disney. Yeah. There's also no casinos on Disney. Yeah, which is kind of a bummer. They do do bingo, though.

There's some sort of gambling. I could run the table on that. You mean you could hustle people at bingo? Yeah, absolutely. We had a friend that won... She won like the big jackpot. Was it $10,000 or $4,000pot. Was it 10,000 or 4,000?

You won 10K on a Disney cruise? The big jackpot, yeah. Oh, that's soft. It's like different levels, yeah. That's the soft, like preparing everyone for the gambling that's coming. A pace for the whole cruise. Peter, you won a bunch at a slot machine on a cruise ship. Oh, yeah.

Didn't you? I kind of see. Yeah, Royal Caribbean. Yeah. They have a fun casino on their ships. How much did I end up winning? Like $6,000? No. I don't remember. Like $4,000

maybe? Still a lot. It paid for the cruise in the next one, I think is when you got the trail gang amount. And you rack up points in the casino. Oh, back to points. Yeah, thank God. So they'll offer you free cruises and you get free drinks, depending on what level you are. They want their money back to points. Yeah, thank God. So they'll offer you like free cruises and you get like free drinks, depending on what level you are. They want their money back.

Yeah. Right. The offers were rolling in after that. Yeah. I think Disney will have slot machines in, say, within 10 years. I was really hoping the one in Singapore was going to have a casino. Because they bought a ship off of somebody. And I think there originally was supposed to be a casino in it. Right.

But they wiped it. And now there's no casino. Yeah. Will there be? Let's all. Do we think within 10 years there'll be like a slot machine on Disney property? Well, they're getting into sports betting. Well, that's what I'm saying.

Yeah, betting. ESPN. ESPN. And there'll be like laws,, especially laws in this country, will be a little looser going forward in the next few years. So I feel like everyone's going to have a gambling addiction in the country, and you will be able to play a slot machine while you're on Pirates of the Caribbean.

They'll be like, oh, my God. Play virtual blackjack on Pirates of the Caribbean. That'd be fun. I mean Play virtual blackjack On Pirates of the Caribbean That'd be fun I mean I wanna I don't smoke cigarettes But I'd love to smoke a cigarette On Pirates of the Caribbean And I would love to play blackjack

While I'm on Pirates of the Caribbean So I can see that happening Once At least if there's just like A blackjack night At Disneyland Where every ride

Has a blackjack dealer That would be That would be something You know Tiki room You're watching the show And you're playing blackjack Or something You could see that You can move out A couple benches Doesn't seem like too hard Sure That would be something. You know, Tiki Room, you're watching the show and you're playing Blackjack or something.

You could see that. You can move out a couple of benches. It doesn't seem like too hard. Yeah. Right now, I know Disney doesn't allow the IP of their properties to be on slot machines. But before Star Wars was bought by Disney, they had Star Wars slot machines. Oh, right. Yeah.

I remember those. But once they bought it, they were like, no. Gone. They all disappeared. Yeah. Well, i'm not saying that's a bad thing that disappeared with that but the other thing like is it like i feel like i feel like alien and predator like i could see a slot machine being alien and predator disney

owns them but like the slot machines are wild though now it's like there's a whitney houston slot machine and you're like i'm like okay so like it's interesting like what just gets because those screens are now digital so you can like sub out properties or pop stars i guess so it's very like you can see the whitney and then you can see a hot stuff the little devil slot machine like they're next to each other and you're like well this seems very random but ultimately i don't know i don't know if it's a good thing that, like, Mickey isn't on a slot machine. I guess it's probably a good thing. I would love that.

That would be great. I mean, technically, couldn't someone make a Steamboat Welly slot machine now? That's true. Technically, yes. Yeah. No, I think for sure. But it would have, yeah. You would just have to be wearing the right outfit.

Yeah. I want a bunch of money on the riverboat mouse machine. Or yeah, I guess you could like Popeye's. I mean, I'm sure there was a Popeye slot machine, but that's public domain now. Have you started production on your Popeye movie now that it's public domain? I, you know, we're still trying to beat out the script. You know, there's still. Where you play all the roles?

There's too many cooks in the kitchen. It's mostly a story about Wimpy Yeah yeah Yeah But it's yeah Steve's the alien That's like yeah You gotta get Popeye in there

And I'm like Steve Let it go Yeah let it go So there is You said okay There's Jungle Cruise stuff There's Yeah

Wait I'm completely blind Haunted Mansion Haunted Mansion Yes Which is The best thing ever crazy that seems like the thing yeah and that seems like people keep on saying to us like why don't they build that in the parks and i'll tell you why they don't build it because no one would ever leave

it's like right yes it's too good job with that it's too enticing like they would have to do the i mean they're still pretty aggressive about getting you out of the cantina in star wars land yeah but i do feel like people would really settle in a little more and if they built it exactly the way it seems to look like on from what i've seen um but i guess yeah you could it wouldn't be like i feel like part of the cantina stuff is like standing makes you like want to get out of there faster i know there's booths obviously too but like the last time i was in there it's like here stand by these 12 people and you only can have 30 but 45 minutes in here and you got to get out of here i mean even the booths are awkward too because you're just yeah random people yeah as long if you're not with a big party you get put

with other families and it's like right but i still don't understand why they why there aren't like seven of those rooms that are all slightly themed differently and then get people to sort of settle in. And then you can still put a time limit on it. But it does seem like you would sell a lot more drinks and food. I know you don't want people getting hammered at Disney. It would be hard to get hammered on those. They're very light. But at least your lips would get very tingling if you did the the fuzzy tauntaun

which i do which did i say this on the show that i took a big bite of the fuzzy tauntaun like six months i did say this right right took a big bite of the foam that has all the pepper in it it went up my nose and i started coughing oh no it was so embarrassed i like lost i was like lost and i'm like like it went in my nose. I did not realize that it would have that effect. And it took me like five minutes to recover. And again, it's close quarters in there. And there is just I couldn't like go and hide anywhere.

I just had to like kind of bury my head and like get down toward the ground so I could recover from having whatever that is that's in that foam. Sir, the most sanitary thing i know this is going to sound awkward if you could go cough on wrecks that's the hardest cough toward wreck people yeah and if and they're like you can go outside and cough but you can't get back in sorry the rules here um but yeah i know that like it feels like every ride that people like should have its own version of this yes like and i've we've talked about this many times i think on the show where it's like i want like a saloon that

overlooks big thunder i know there's no room especially at disneyland for that that would be amazing if for some reason you could maybe i guess maybe you could get rid of the quick service right there and build something that's kind of elevated but it does feel like the next logical step of being a theme park weirdo is i just want to sit and watch the rides happen like i don't want to leave yeah i like the ride fine but what i'd like even more is to sit and watch the ride from a comfortable position for whatever reason that's that's part of it so yeah so when you see stuff on the crew you're like why isn't this thing why can't i just sit in the haunted mansion when i go to disneyland's why is this like and they're building what the pirates

there's building a pirates bar in florida in florida yeah so it's cool they're doing that type of thing but then there was a rumor they were going to build the tip-top club like permanent in florida for the tower of terror but they did not do that but yeah i don't know i i wonder if it's what you're saying and it's like people will not leave you will have to kick them out of here yeah they will be like there'll be claw marks on the carpet from people being dragged by security because they will not leave i mean i think that's right but in your videos you guys were saying like yeah you just walked into the haunted mansion park yeah we got lucky it was we always managed to go in there when it was a good time and get a seat

well i do is it like a reservation serve like system or you have to wait in a regular line if it's no yeah you just go in but when the wish there's a star wars bar which is not as cool as the haunted mansion bar yeah um but i think for the first few months of that like you had to like get a reservation and do all didn't you yeah yeah and it was like very hard to get in this one we were kind of worried about that but you just were able to walk in and is this the best of all like the themed bar restaurant areas on any of the ships okay it's so cool and then in the middle of the bar there's this uh aquarium that has designs from roly crump it looks amazing but i saw a picture of this yes it has ghost fish in it yeah ghost fish they'll sing during like the song while the songs are playing and stuff so

there's some of like didn't they just it's like some of his like sketches they didn't use like the museum of the weird stuff that they didn't use and they've put it in here which is nice because sometimes you're like i'm worried like that they've like fired everyone who knows history do do you think uh one of the cruise ships should have a big doll garage themed bar with jay and everything i think so maybe not disney one well jay was in uh superstar limo right i'm on jared leto why did i say jay leno well there's similar letters yes oh yeah well will there be a tron bar on one of these if this next tron is a hit how many more times will they try with tron ah Ah, the first Tron that's a hit.

The first in history. In 2060. A Tron bar would be cool. But a Tron bar would be cool. Yeah, because the aesthetic. Again, we're fans of the aesthetic of Tron. We like the aesthetic of Tron a lot and like that it's around. But it's interesting that we have this year as another Tron.

They're doing it, right? I think so. The next Leto Tron. Oh, yeah. Legacy. Legacy. Aries. Tron. Oh, yeah. Legacy. Legacy. Aries. Aries.

Legacy was the Daft Punk one. Okay. Okay. Uh-huh. Yeah. What, so the Haunted Mansion bar, I did think it was very funny when you guys were spotlighting

the like different soda. They have like cream soda lemonade soda and some of them they're like mixed with a cocktail and it's like i poured the wrong soda yeah that was one of the drinks depends on you pouring the the sodas into it and the bartender told me he put you know one in front of one one in front of the other so it was his fault but so i did it that way i'm not not blaming him, but it was his fault. And the cast members are usually awesome on the Disney Cruise. So we had to actually buy that drink twice.

And I thought like, oh, maybe they'll comp us for the first one because we didn't drink it. No, we had to pay for it twice, even though it was his fault that I poured the wrong soda in the wrong cocktail. Now, that was interesting. I mean, most of your food is included on the cruise, but there are upcharges of like,

if you want to go to the fancy steakhouse or the bar, can you buy a drink pass on the Disney cruise? Not on Disney, no. On the Royal Caribbean? Royal, you can. Yeah, okay. That's amazing, yeah. They've recently done some surveys suggesting

that maybe Disney is considering a drink package. Okay. So what would that entail? Like that would just be like an open bar essentially for you once you paid? Well, on rail, you pay, the price changes depending on how much does it run like? We did the math one time to figure out how many drinks we should be drinking to get our money's worth. You need to drink like five or six a day to make your money's worth uh-huh and if we drink four i'm like no i have to have one more i gotta do it get our money's worth yeah but um so the

i don't know if they did it they would make so much more money i think right probably yeah did you see i mean i guess there's a lot of families on these cruises but like did anyone get have to be like cut off is there a they go to disney jail on the boat there has to i mean every boat is a jail yeah i assume yeah yeah and they have to have a break yeah break the break right the brig i've never seen it on a disney cruise that i've noticed and royal people get a little you could tell people are like partying on royal sometimes. Right. I assume that Star Trek cruise that we talk about, which is maybe the number one cruise I want to go on in the Star

Trek cruise. I have to imagine that a couple people end up in the brig and they get excited because brig is a thing on Star Trek. So they hope it's like a themed experience, which it's probably not. Are you guys excited for the Universal Fan Fest night?

So excited. Well, for going on the Enterprise D, which is from the Picard season three. I am so, and I've sent an annoying email to Universal Hollywood about like, I'm a Star Trek guy. Let me in. Let me see it before. And they're like, well, we're just figuring it out. And I'm like, okay okay but you don't know i met jonathan frakes in burbank last year and i flipped out in a way that was maybe not smooth you might say uh so yes i that that specific like the back to future stuff i know you went to a preview event

yeah yes which which looked cool um and like the back to the future like they're doing a whole recreation of the clock tower scene yeah which looks very cool and i'm excited about that and just to remind it's it's all the stuff is on one night yeah so it's it's a little confusing calling it night i think they were just trying to do halloween horror nights yeah trying to like yeah it's all in one but you get star trek and Back to the Future and One Piece. All that stuff. The casting, Jane forwarded me the casting notices, and these were going around,

and it's very funny them trying to cast anime characters. Oh, right. I feel like there's going a lot a long line to meet luffy from one piece as opposed to the the uh ogre from uh dnt or me in line to meet the like 30 year old playing reicher or something yeah i'm a big fan of yours they're gonna have yoshi i'm excited for that Oh right Yoshi yes And all the creatures In the Wizarding World too

Which Or not all of them But a lot of them We got to see When we were in Japan Because they just have them there Oh okay So it's cool

That they're bringing it here But one of my biggest regrets Of not doing something In my life Is that Star Trek experience That they had in Vegas I know me too And I feel like

This is gonna be The closest thing to that Yes And there is some Because you didn't It's not built yet right you didn't get to go in the enterprise or anything because like something had right it's like a walkthrough and then like somebody attacks i assume borg maybe they didn't say who okay but it seems like the borg has to be the one and they also said you're gonna get to experience the being at the end of it you're gonna get beamed down

which is what they did in the vegas one yeah i may i may like weep a little bit going on the bridge of the enterprise and that's not a joke that's just like that's that's i guess other than like going the x-men's mansion it was like i wanted to live on the enterprise when i was a kid and this we'll see we'll see if it if it happens i'm i'll hide it in the moment if anyone's with me but i will bring it up on the show if it if it happens i'm not i'll hide it in the moment if anyone's with me but i will bring it up on the show if it happens the one thing that they showed us that uh they didn't release pictures of is for the dungeons and dragons thing like it's like a it's a walkthrough kind of like a hole in hard night's house oh that's cool yeah um the the bad guy i don't know anything about D and D, but the bad guy is like this ball creature thing.

They, they had Jim Henson, uh, studio build this like puppets, like 15 feet tall. It looks insane. That's great. Yeah.

I mean, this is a, I hope this works cause this feels like a great way to do just other non scary stuff. Yeah. And to get at least like temporary walkthroughs because there's so much stuff we like that's not quite like it doesn't make sense for a corporation to approve a budget for a 500 million dollar ride it's unfair but that's the reality so at the very

least if you can get little immersive things in these parks that have a good budget you'll at least get some of it like i want a ninja turtles i know there's ninja turtle rides but maybe this is how you get a ninja turtle thing in a theme park at a pretty high level because it still seems like none of the movies new or shows or whatever are popular enough for them to put again 500 million dollars into a turtle's ride that it deserves but you keep walking through the frankenstein parking garage universe of hollywood and going like is there any turtles steph right left over from 1990 when they did that you did the walk through here right but like go yeah

you can build a sewer and put some turtles in suits and i'll weep out that i'll weep meeting michelangelo like i weep when i met you Fricks. Seems like you just need to have a good cry, Michael. Sure. Just get some stuff out. Oh, that's true. But it helps if it was a character I liked when I was a kid. Okay. It helps me to cry.

As I said on the episode with Matt Mazzani, it's interesting. And this is my personal feeling. Maybe I think other people feel similarly. It's interesting being an adult because sometimes you need to have things like movies tv music or theme park experiences force you to cry like it needs to be extracted from you in some ways and i'm being serious like yeah it's weird because you're like all the time why am i tearing up this it's like oh i have there's so much misery in the world that like it's just like i see it and I don't process it. And then I like start crying because I see like data's console, a recreation of it.

You're like, what is this about? Oh, it's I needed to do this. It needed like, it was just a functional thing my brain needed to do. And I was looking for an opportunity to do it. It's very weird.

Less crying, more screaming at some of those houses. That's an expression too.

They like to get me. It's so much fun though. Yeah. Yeah. My daughter loves to be scared already she loves to like it's interesting we'll see if it lasts because like stuff switches fast with kids but like she likes like hiding and then you come in and go ah or she likes when i take my leather head turtle figure and like ah she got like she jumps but like starts cackling that's so cute so

like that's interesting too because like that's just like an early thing that people seem to like. Obviously she knows that it's her parents and it's not actually a big alligator that's attacking her but still it's interesting

to see that. I always see people at HHN especially in Hollywood like their six-year-old or like with a stroller. Yeah, there's strollers

at HHN always make me laugh. You'll see that at Six Flags for sure. Okay. You'll see a lot of kids at Six Flags. And yes, some of them seem to enjoy it. And then some of them are being punished by their parents.

Some of them couldn't get a sitter for their kids. And now they are going to suffer because of it. Or I guess maybe one parent waits with them outside. But we've all seen kids being forced onto a ride they don't want to go onto. Oh, yeah. And that is weird. That is ride they don't want to go on to oh yeah and that is uh weird that is something i don't think it's right of passage like you know some of it depends though it depends i've seen kids going please don't make me do this and they're like it'll be fine and and then it's not fine like yeah you have to know your kid and sometimes i feel like

parents are just like yeah whatever and then sometimes it's like yeah i have to know your kid since sometimes i feel like parents are just like yeah whatever and then sometimes it's like yeah i know my kid will like this once they do it which is what happened to me at a certain point where it was yeah but no i was my mom held us off like doing anything for a while like i was too old by the time i did certain things but yeah yeah it's interesting well well that's true dance on well that's true there's a lot of there's a long list of that of that type of thing uh so crew like is there like an i guess yeah there's no midnight buffet on these cruises but like is there like is it uh wake up at 7 a.m go to bed at 10 is that the sort of vibe of the ship basically or is it like everybody can do whatever they like will you find people like roaming around at 3 a.m i

will say disney cruise specifically we've only ever done royal and disney disney shuts down pretty pretty early right i feel like they shut down the food they there are some like adult game shows and stuff you could go to or silent disco or whatever right but uh they have this thing on all the disney cruises called match your mate which is kind of like uh what is the the show that is based on newly it's like the newlywed game but like so like singles will go or no people marry couples sorry like a new like newlyweds somebody who's been married forever and then somebody in between and it's always like the highlight of the cruise honestly

and then like they'll ask them questions like you know uh describe your love life it's funny because they do dis it's risque but it's disney so they'll do like describe uh your love life and a disney song is it um a whole new world almost there under the sea what was the other one yeah i don't remember but it's so good first time in forever be prepared yeah yeah and then it really works with any disney yeah it really does yeah when you think about hellfire yeah yeah that's it really works with any disney yeah really does yeah when you think about hellfire yeah yeah that's it okay that's interesting i don't i have not seen a video of that because we we talked what was this what was the villain show called the weird hollywood squares villain show yeah that is weird yeah and it's all pre-recorded like but people playing the villains it's not like

cartoon versions of the villains um there's like a human being hostess. It's not one of the Disney characters, right? Yeah, it's a human being. Okay. I will say on the Disney Treasure, they introduced this new show that was an Indiana Jones themed. Choose wisely. Choose wisely, like choose your own adventure. And it was the highlight by far.

Yeah, so they have these new characters called Coriander and Sage and they're like improv actors. They're brought on to kind of be almost like your host for the cruise. They do things every night. Your cruise director. Yeah. But they're kind of like dressed up like they're from Agrabah or something. But they do a show one night in the adult area called Indiana Jones Choose Wisely. called indiana jones choose wisely and it they reenact moments from indiana jones and the audience gets to choose what direction oh they go in and like so it'll be like

uh the moment from last crusade and there's the the holy grail there's a goofy cup and there's a uh a sipper from 7-eleven and like the audience gets to choose what which one should he choose and like what happens and it's funny because like sometimes they'll choose the the right way and see what happens sometimes they'll choose the goofy cup and everything goes wrong and like they so like by applause they'll choose yeah okay it's so much fun and they have like references to you know the ride from disneyland or you know it's It's a lot of fun. So it's, yeah, it's interactive, but then it's also for the Disney.

Everything still has a little Disney in it. It's a Disney touch, yeah. That is interesting, because I wonder if that newlywed game is like, does anybody ever say anything crazy? Oh, yes. Oh, it said happen. Yes.

Every single time we watch that show, people will say the craziest things. And I'm just like, and then you see them for the rest of the cruise. Could you give a. You'll like remember them. Do you remember one specifically? I mean, you don't have to be. You could clean it up, I suppose, if you don't want to be vulgar.

I don't have a good memory. I can't think of like a good one. But like one time they're like asking like the most risky place you've ever like gotten it on. And someone was like on the treasure or like like literally like really risky but like yeah yeah the little dad earlier in our bedroom on the treasure and it's like why are you telling right people go a little wild in front of the crowd probably yeah and then that i'm sure that gets a good reaction though i mean that's not a risky one, but like risque one, but like people just say things and you're like, what is, they give them, they like feed them free drinks throughout the thing.

So they're feeling a little loose, I guess. That still feels like risky for anything related to Disney. So I give them credit for that. And then what do they win? Don't they, you just win like a bottle of champagne or something at the end? Nothing away. Yeah. So you're not doing it for $10,000. You're doing it for a free bottle of champagne or something at the end nothing like yeah so you're not doing it for ten thousand dollars you're doing it for a free bottle of champagne

yeah trivia events throughout the day that we'll usually do and lose but like if you win that you just win like a medal right do you is there like like i guess i'm trying to say like are there things where now they've really expanded the the theming is there like a plus up that you're like now that you've you know you're going to theme park so often you're like i wish they could do this or like i know they can't build like a crazy big ride on it they can do little things or like is there something you would be like if they only did this it would be the greatest cruise of all time do you have these feelings or i want a lazy river on a cruise oh that's a great idea does any ship have it i know there's these giant crazy new boats

that look like they could do anything but i know on the the new ship that's coming out of singapore the new disney ship the adventure they're gonna have like a roller coaster on it they actually have some like rides on it yeah yeah i've seen this i don't remember what the other two rides are i think they're like flat rides. Like little spinner rides or something, which I just think is so cool. I'm like, why have they never done this before? The treasure has an attraction, right? It has the

Aqua Mouse, which is a water coaster with some screens in it and audio cues. And the Aqua Mouse is not the Aqua Duck. Similar but different. Okay, yeah the aqua mouse that has like the little videos as you go up the conveyor belt and the aqua duck is just like a classic water coaster yeah yeah both very fun but i want a lazy river i was gonna say like lazy river

i guess you would the way you would probably have to do it just on the top deck or or i guess not the top would be too heavy or something like too much water yeah would could but is there a way you could like have it be on the bottom of the boat and have it be like translucent or something oh and then it's like a glass bottom boat right so you could kind of see into the ocean or a little bit that's a great idea i'm trying because like that would be fun yeah we're big lazy river fans on this show i feel jason i want to speak for you but i'm well yeah so understated so i i was winding up as if i was gonna go like i hate him but you couldn't turn against your beloved lazy rivers favorite lazy river i'm Volcano Bay, the fast moving.

Oh, that is. I'm the one who's done that. And I guess so. That's a great question. I'm trying to think. The Blizzard Beach lazy river is pretty good, is my memory serves me correct. It has some good theming. Right.

There's some good theming. The Ohlone one's pretty good, too. Never done that. Oh, you guys need to. The Ohlone one's pretty good too. Never done that. Oh, you guys need to go to Ohlone. Is the... Yeah, I know. Have you ever been to Atlantis in the Bahamas?

In the Bahamas? No. They have this fast-moving lazy river that like many people get hurt every day. Like it's actually dangerous. I actually got like my hand like it was bleeding.

I don't think I ever would do it again. It was that scary. I did not enjoy not enjoy it they also they have the water slide that goes through the shark tank is that right okay that was fun and the the the bridge the walk that connects the two giant the bridges on top i feel like yes the pedestrian yeah yeah yeah i yeah that i feel like in the early 2000s television channels were just bombarded with atlantis oh my gosh yeah when we finally got to go there i was like it was the greatest moment of my life just because i'd seen it so much on tv it lives up to the hype i'd say oh good that's cool oh i was going to say let me ask about the cruising because

it does seem like uh there's a there's a lot of stuff to do every how modular like how adjustable is are the disney cruises because i think when i go to the theme parks i am like the operations person's worst night like i like to plan a little but i like some wiggle room and i like to change my mind at the drop of a hat if i'm not up for you know how much in the cruising can you just bail and just go get room service i mean the only thing that you i mean you could we do do that sometimes but the only thing that you have like a quote-unquote appointment for is your dinner time is the same time every night and then if you want to go see the the big show okay um but besides that you could do whatever the heck you want and then the beauty of a cruise i think it makes it better than like what the

parks are now because now you got to do like the the lightning lanes and like whatever and like here you can choose. I'm going to do this trivia or I'll go meet Goofy or I'll like, you know, you just I'll go to the pool deck. Like you can you really don't have to make reservations for almost anything. And the dinner is because there are like at all. You can go to the signature or the fancy dining. Yeah. And like, can you change that?

Like, hey, we don't really want to go to this right could we just make a reservation or could we just have a snack instead set to where you're going they do have some food you could get room service or you could go up on the pool deck but a lot of those actually close early yeah so room service is 24 room services okay room service is 24 hours and it's included. On a lot of cruise ships, you have to pay like an extra fee. So that is the beauty of a Disney cruise. As many chicken fingers as you want.

You can get like Mickey bars, whatever you want. Has anyone, oh, that could be a video for me too. Chicken fingers and Mickey bars. I try to push it and see how many chicken fingers I can. How many they'll give you. Right. Yeah. Like in an hour or like within two hours before they go, look, sir, we have to.

There's a big article that just came out about Netflix and all the different weird, like how Netflix destroyed everything, basically, and how when they were still doing the DVDs, they would like choose the people that were actually using the service a lot. And they would like throttle their delivery speeds wow because they were yeah so like you would get if you were actually really sending dvds and you were watching a lot of movies a month they would slow it down because that was not helping them you know make money or whatever so i wonder if like they they caught wind that like room 302 is like ordering hundreds of chicken wings they'd be like look we gotta disconnect the phone or something like they would figure out a way to slow me down they would have to i think because i would there's only a finite amount of chicken fingers you have on a boat and they were not prepared for an experiment to happen for content we're uh pulling into nassau it's an

unplanned port. We need more chicken fingers because of Mike Carlson in room 300. He's making content. Yeah, he's making content. He's eating about a few dozen DiGiorno pizzas that we keep on board. Or it could be if you're on the boat, they've made a note that you brought several cool bags to keep the chicken fingers to take off the boat. Well, yeah. When you go home, then you can eat chicken fingers for a full month or two.

Sure. Filling up buckets with soft serve. That's my luggage. I'll carry this off the boat. You don't need to check this one. Well, you do have unlimited soft serve on the pool. Yeah, I like that. Soft serve is what I love about cruising. Especially on Disney, they have unique flavors like banana, which is so good.

I was going to ask about the flavors. That's good. And do you do, do you self-serve the soft serve on the older ships? Yeah. The older ships you do, but the newer ships, they do it for you. Okay. Okay. Now that's another thing where I like, I've said this before, I like it when somebody

makes me a cone. Like, I don't like this new, like, pink berry trend of I have to do it. I don't want to do it. I know people disagree with me about this. I like an expert to make a little thing for me. Yeah. Or do the cone, because I will mess the cone up. Oh, some of the dining halls in college, you would make your own cone.

Right. And it was, I was a mess. When you go to, like, an old country buffet with your grandparents, like I would, you'd have to And it was, I was a mess. When you go to like an old country buffet with your grandparents, like I would, you'd have to do it self-serve. Sure.

And I would ruin it or I would blow it. Mine just looks so bad when I make a cone. Yeah. You want it to be aesthetically pleasing before. So look,

that's, I guess that's another rare Michael Eisner losing choice. I feel like I'm on the other side of things because the buffet on the ship is called Marceline's Market.

Reference Walt. At that buffet, they put the stuff on the plate for you and then hand you the plate. It's more sanitary than I guess at Royal you do it yourself. It's embarrassing when you're like, can I have more French fries?

Like, they only give you, like, five French fries. I don't want people judging me by how many chicken tenders I want. They look at you and they're like, okay. It's a good point. That is true. If you're like, I'd like to really, can I have a plate full of French fries, please? The older ships, I think you could still do it yourself. So, that's an interesting change.

I wonder why. Pandemic. Pandemic. Yeah, that's probably why. Yeah. I am sure they're trained to make chaos plates like to to make they're trained to like chow chow main next to chicken figures yeah see i don't i also i'm one of those picky people that i don't want the things to like

to touch yeah yeah i guess i'm like that more than not but yeah i really have to think about my plate preference but no i guess i get pretty chaotic at a buffet now do the buffets live because i do find buffets often even though it's fun in concept they often are underwhelming but sometimes you get a rare like really good good buffet. I feel like comparing Royal and Disney Royal is way better just because I have a bigger selection. But one thing that you could only get on a Disney cruise buffet, one day out of the entire trip, they serve you churro Mickey waffles and they are the best breakfast item of all time.

Oh, wow. Okay. They taste so good. They're so good. Yeah. And I don't know why they don't have them in the parks or wow. Okay. They taste so good. They're so good. Yeah. And I don't know why they don't have them in the parks or why,

and it's only one day. I don't know why you can't have them every day. I guess it makes it special. And you never know what day it is. You just have to go up there and hope that they're there. Really?

So it's kind of like a fun little challenge to try to find them. So they put something special in them, but we don't know what, like it's a secret recipe that they don't use. I mean,

they just encrust it in like sugar and cinnamon and it's amazing fried yeah they're like deep fried like oh okay you don't even need like maple syrup on them but i still put you guys were on a seven day yeah treasure um uh uh what guess. So I'm assuming, do you repeat dinners when you're out that many days? Do you repeat restaurants? Can you go like, oh, I love Marvel. I want to go to the Marvel restaurant three times. No, you have to go to whatever. You do repeat the restaurants, but there's different menus.

And then at the certain ones, like the Marvel one, there's two different shows that play. So like the second night, it's different. Same with the Coco one there's two different shows that play so like the second night it's different same with the Coco one there's like a different show I will say one of my complaints about this is the seating

in that venue is kind of bad like we were behind a pole we couldn't really see the old Jenny Nicholson pillar trick yeah

wow but the shows look good. It was just hard to see them. Yeah. But one tip that you can learn if you're a seasoned Disney cruiser is if there's a food item you like at a different dining venue, you can just order. You can request it. And you can get it like every night if you want.

Oh, that's a good tip. I like that. Because someone's in that venue ordering that food. Do I mean like it's the same kitchen for all three. Right. So it's not sure someone's not like running that multiple decks with like a one churro in their hands to get to you. It's all in the same area.

Do you do the can you do the two entrees trick? Oh, yeah. You can order every entree. What do the two entrees trick? Oh, yeah. You can order. You can get every entree. What is the two entrees trick? Well, like you can order multiple entrees on cruise. So if you're unsure, you could order like, you could order everything on the menu if you wanted.

They'll bring it to you. Okay. Because it gets covered under the normal plan or whatever. So if you want, like you can't decide between chicken or salmon, just be like, why don't I get both? So the two entrees trick could also be the nine entrees trick yes it doesn't have to just be two entrees you know i always ask like the server i'm like what's better this or that and like it's dangerous on a disney cruise because you ask them that and they're like i'll

just bring you both yeah they're like no i'll just bring you both oh interesting so they have enough food if everyone ordered nine entrees hopefully yeah yeah that's interesting uh what um so for like there's a zootopia ice cream parlor and sweet shop when you order all the card stuff there uh is it do you just tap a room key or do you just pay with a credit card so you pay you pay everything with your room key. Okay. But yeah, the Zootopia one isn't upcharge, unfortunately. It's not the free soft serve. I was watching with bated breath, watching that. And then I saw the price tag and I'm like, oh, okay. It's fun to try.

Yeah. But yeah, the free soft serve is better. Okay. Jason, do you have any more questions about the amount of meals? And sweets. Well well now I'm moving I like all the freebies you get on the free Jane made fun of me when I said freebies

because she was like you paid for the cruise like yeah you're getting a dry wet bag or a tote bag or something I enjoy that as well we usually say free on the channel, but then people yell at us and be like, no, it's included. Right. It's still nice.

Yeah, it's a little trip. Especially when it's like a brand new ship and it has like inaugural sailing or whatever on it. It feels special. Like first edition. We bought a bunch of tiki mugs on the treasure because for some reason they had so many awesome tiki mugs. We bought them all and they all said first edition and they're ship

exclusive yes yeah and they were they were all really cool this is good this is what i like to hear about ship exclusive stuff yeah they have two uh haunted mansion they have one of the bride who's like this uh mermaid yeah and then one of the captain oh that's cool and then at the jungle cruise bar they have one of that boat with the chimpanzees on it that have taken over. Oh, that's cool. Oh, man. But like.

Now I'm extra incentivized. The chimp is wearing like a Disney Cruise Line hat instead of like a, so it's like special. Yeah. It's special. No, that's. People are serious about the, all the merch that's sold on the Disney cruise stores. Crazy. Just like that first day when they open,

they don't open those stores until they get out to the water at some point. Like there's a lot, like people are just, it's like black Friday. People are just tearing. I was going to say like, wow. As if like that surprises me,

but it doesn't surprise me because I would be in line. Yeah. Punching someone to get to a mug first do you think that's people who want the keepsake or trying to flip some of them probably both i assume probably both yeah 50 50 yeah yeah i was surprised when you guys got on the ship you couldn't go out on your patio or balcony because they were refueling i'd never heard of that yeah depending on what side of the ship you're on like i guess they were obviously have to refuel when they're back in port so we weren't allowed to go out there until i i think the ship left yeah we've never seen that

before i don't know why maybe they think people are gonna smoke or something in a spark. Oh, yeah. I don't know. Does Mickey patrol the deck and be like, stay inside? Hey, I see you. I wish. Stay inside, please. Price of gas. I want some of that fuel. Can you smoke on those balconies? Are there smoking areas?

You're not supposed to, but they do have dedicated smoking areas. Oh, they do? Okay. Are they themed to any characters? Is it Lampwick from Pinocchio? Nowick uh no unfortunately no that would be smart though okay looks like lumière oh that'd be great here lighting up with you

oh there we go the friend from the goofy movie it's like hey man like this smoking area like played cool yeah that's probably not a great idea you're going to multiple countries you might want to watch that well look uh we probably could talk about this all day jason's already asked all his main questions about the meals and a place to which disney character loves a parliament but we'll have to you'll have to come back tell us about the other disney approved name boats and hopefully we will we'll have gone on one uh uh soon i hope i hope to go on one soon the triton class which i had to double check like oh is that cruise line wide it's like no no that's a disney thing um but peter and kitcher you've survived podcast the ride oh my god thank you for doing the show uh let's exit through the gift shop i

mean we've talked about your channel but if anything else you have any other things to plug social media names i mean if you want to see footage from the disney treasure we have three videos we also have irishman's runtime length the video yeah the treasure sure yeah we combined multiple days into a single video so they're pretty long but if you want to watch them go check them out we'd love that yeah check them out for sure and it's fun it's like it's the next best thing to being in the park is seeing what's going on there and seeing you walk around and i did i watched there's new drinks now in avengers campus which i am excited we're going soon uh so i want to try is there is there a drink specifically the new of the new ones you would recommend that you tried i think just

you need to get the captain america sipper which is pretty cool. Oh, wait. It's the shield. Yeah, the shield. I mean, that's just you pour a soda into. Right, right. I think you like the Litmus Lemonade. Yeah, I don't remember what the names are. There was some kind of strawberry lemonade drink that was pretty good. Okay. That sounds like I would like that.

Yeah. So, I like the Patriotic Punch. It's like $25. Yeah. Sure. Oh, Patriotic Punch. I did see that. That stuck.

I just like the alliteration of that. But that's all I need sometimes To enjoy a drink Is alliteration And it's red white and blue Until you mix it You gotta mix it But it looks good Until you mix it
