It's great to see you guys again. Likewise. I love hearing your voices all the time on your podcast. Thanks. Oh, man. Thank you, Kyle. Thanks for listening. Thanks for checking it out yeah of

course and for returning especially because you came here i mean not directly for but you were at disneyland today all day yes yeah so what time is it right now or do you do you tell that to your listeners do you not like to reveal that you it's not like it's not like the talk show thing where you tape it earlier question because it's it's like i guess is if we don't say it it's because we want them to think it's like live like even if they know it's not like intellectually they kind of want to feel like it's live but we can we can find this say regard i was at disney i think two or three hours ago essentially that might be that's one of the quickest ever full nighttime yeah yeah yeah yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's night.

Which, and this being, this is an episode, we are now in an area that at one point, in some article I read, this was called the Wine Bar District, where we are in this stage. And Kyle, you brought us champagne. We're drinking champagne. We're sipping champagne. Yeah, I brought some bubbly. You know, I try to treat my boys good. Oh, man. Hashtag spoiled.

Thanks, daddy. Ooh. Please call me daddy. Oh, no. We've gotten into this disturbing rhythm in this episode. But you have an assignment now. I... To call Kyle Daddy.

All right. I have to do it at least several more times. Yep. But I owe you, you know, for the champagne. You never owe me. I'm excited to be here. But yes, I... I warned Scott that I would be in maybe a particular shape.

I feel like I'm maybe fine. I don't know. I can't. You're doing fine. You're doing great. When I listen to this after the fact, who knows what I'll determine, but... You'll feel.

I've been drinking since 10.30 in the morning today. Damn. Hell yeah. You started that or like you got there? I started my house. I took an Uber with a couple friends. Because you Ubered down. That's a way to do it.

That's a good way to do it. Well, that's great. You're speaking my language. The point was, though, to research for this. Of course. Yeah, yeah. For what we're doing. Good excuse.

Which, by the way, look, I called you daddy, but really we only, during this series, answer to the great one, the sector keeper, who now we will pause so that he can tell us what we specifically are doing today. Boys, boys, today's stage contains Uva Bar and Ballast Point. Good luck, boys. All right. So, yes. Two fantastic liquor dispensing locations, Uva Bar and Ballast Point. And you hit up,

did you hit up both of these today? Or you have at various, one of them at least. I did today, yes. And I have prior to today, yeah. Nice. Hell yeah. Nice. Hell yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah.

It's going to be a lot of posturing. Oh, wait, really? So you have a drink and stuff? Wait, so you have a drinking problem? Hell yeah. Do you have a drinking problem and shit? Hell yeah. Pure bars?

No rides you didn't do. Scott, you have described Uva Bar as one of your favorite things at Disneyland property. Yeah. That's right. Not even within the... Yes. I'm a big fan of Uva Bar. List the things, the rides in Disney and California Adventure that you like less than Uva.

Oh, there's probably a ton. Probably a ton. That's what I mean. I mean, the ones that are jumping out are like Star Wars Launch Bay or like watching those Star Wars movies. But what's like a major one? Casey Jr. I like going to Uva Bar more than going on Casey on the train where you're trapped in

a cage. Yeah. Takes all kinds, I guess. Throw in one. If you agree with me, throw a ride under the bus if you're trapped in a cage yeah it takes all kinds i guess throw in one if you would agree with me throw in a throw a ride under the bus if you wish or don't i'm just inviting you in kyle um i'm trying to like goofy sky school or i don't really like that that much i'm one of the i think most people don't like that i do like that right actually really people think it's too like jerky right well it scares it scares me i don't like a slow moving

thing that's high up i can't i'm not allowed to do it because everybody who's ever been on it doesn't want to do it again oh really it's a wild mouse right the one that makes you feel like you're gonna go yeah yeah yeah those drops are you feel like very naked in that they're like very sudden and feel exposed yeah yeah um kyle with with you and alcohol i overcame some fears of some rides both in credit coaster and guardians of the galaxy mission breakout uh which thank you for your encouragement man i just like kicking it with you dude oh jeez okay um you don't i don't have to like overcome goals to impress you to me it's just all about like being with the boys and all right cheers again like this has been a great night hey we're too far from each other to actually cheers but yeah um i also i

mean another when we did that i don't i don't want to put you on the spot here, but from that Guardians experience, I seem to recall, I feel like you do a pretty good Rocket. Whoa. Is Rocket here with us right now? I have heard you guys do Rocket on the podcast. Yeah, we've kind of been doing it. Yeah, a lot. Yeah, can you give me a moment here?

I've got to like, I'm like slicking my hair back to like kind of get into character. Roll your sleeves up. Like you've been working on. It's like digging up wires. Uh, yeah. The problem is, okay.

But now what does he say? Oh, that's the tough thing. It's tough. Like when the, so when the Simpsons actors have to improvise, it's like, what are they really?

The gantry, like, uh, you're going to get into what means you do you start oh yeah oh yeah he says let me see your hands let's see those hands people is what he says see your hands people yeah the problem is my hands don't scan yeah yours do yeah hell yeah something in that world? Yeah. That's good. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. When I do, and I was on that, I did that ride today, and I just repeat that phrase over and over again in different versions. Basically like, my hands don't scan. My hands don't scan yours, dude.

And I see this little puppet above me. Every time he's like, he's about to say, my hands don't scan. I just, I love it. It's so awesome. I feel it. Yeah, I think you alerted me to the oddity of that moment and it is very addictive and yeah we've been doing it well i like i think usually what i do to correct me if i'm wrong is we're walking through the after we're out of that room and i

just go gantry lift yeah you say gantry lift gantry lift my hands go still it messes up my gantry plan gantry my plan involves a scan with your hands my hands don't does it ever do is there a super fast version? Is it all you can speech? My hands don't scan. My hands don't scan. It's kind of, it is like, yeah, if you're, I feel like you guys being comedy people, I feel like you've mentioned before this, I don't know, at some point I remember you guys talking about this voice that comedy people do. They'll kind of like the like, eh, here we go, or something like that. don't know you yeah i don't know when you guys said that's like old radio voice like a voice that all improv people do or something like an old timey voice guy yeah but i feel like

that rocket raccoon voice is almost something that is all is very approachable to any person who like does comedy if that makes any sense yeah so like a little james cagney it's like we'll do what you think james cagney sounds like so the idea of just being able to be like my hands don't i i i feel like it's not far from a character i do on saturday night like bruce chanley and it's like almost what that is and you give it that gust that like really proud of yourself with every word yeah uh yeah it's really i i told you about it the uh the epcot preview center that's happening currently uh it is why we talk about in a future episode but the moment when this part where you get that vibe but in a different place in florida when there's this boring thing happening and then he says boring

and unplugs and it's really i don't know i feel like it went from something that seemed a little silly to me to like i'd love i'd love to watch like rocket unplugging anything i don't want to watch just generally in that right i feel like are there multiple unplugs and plugging you mean in the gardens galaxy ride what they did is it's it starts off in the ride and they just reuse the silhouette element in this preview show video it's clearly the same as oh yeah yeah like coming soon but he when the robot unplugs something right and then you get on the ride and then the silhouette unplugs in. Well, Rocket unplugs. He mutes the collector, right? Is that what happens?

Yeah. Well, he says, let's mute this guy. And he says that in the pre-show. And then right before the car takes off is when he goes, Rocket unplugs you and gets things rocking. Is that what he says? I think he says, and gets things rocking or something. Something like that.

Yeah. Let's jam. Let me see those hands so we can jam uh did you guys sorry go ahead i was just gonna say rocket's voice is like the universal studios new york performers it's like just like what are you doing down there yeah sweet hot let's see those hands i respect bradley cooper so much as an actor and i'm not gonna get on this that's assuming it's him it is i think it is him is it him i believe it's him yeah i think they all did they're they're all in it hmm so it would make sense now you guys i know we're now not talking about the subject we're supposed to talk about thank god has there been either i know this exists i'm sure on reddit or something like that but like do we know all of the songs that are

a part of the gardens galaxy ride yes there's like it's not that many oh it's only six and then the like death metal one in monsters after dark have you done monsters after dark no it's just halloween specific but that guy one of the guy who scored the movies yeah the one of the original in Monsters After Dark. Have you done Monsters After Dark? No. It's just Halloween specific, but that guy, the guy who scored the movies wrote an original metal song called Monsters After Dark. Oh, that's what that is?

Which is the best of all of them. It's the best ride profile. Wow. Does that make it then the best in any of the towers? Is that the best thing you can do in a Tower of Terror or a Gantry Lift?

That's a good question depending uh uh yes well i will say yes as far as just the lift itself but not the pre-show if there was a way to combine moving car in florida with here's the ultimate here's the ultimate tower right customize it like a taco bell order that's what i'm gonna do uh it's the it's the uh tokyo tower pre-show that story all the story all of it up then add the fourth dimension room from florida because it's not in the tokyo version and then it's the guardians of the galaxy uh monsters after dark drops yeah it doesn't make any sense but that's the most thrilling version of the ride yeah i think it sounds good to me i still like hit me with your best shot, but that's the most thrilling version of the ride. Yeah. That sounds good to me. I still like Hit Me With Your Best Shot better.

Really? That's what we had today, yeah. Do you have a favorite, do you think? That's a good one. I think Parliament, Tear the Roof Off. Parliament's really exciting in this little Epcot show. That's cool to hear. And to see the model, like spaceship, little mini spaceship birth light up with like funk

colors. Good stuff. Jackson 5. Yeah. Want you back. Controversial. Let's not, let's not go saying

anything. It's still on the ride. It's still on the ride. Here at Monsters After Dark takes on a new meaning. I, okay. Well, to, to go some steps over, back over to... Back to this 2001 era bar.

I've been drinking since 10.30 in the morning. Was that a full 90 minutes? How long have we been just talking right now? Let me look. You're really zonked, son. It's 15 12 15 minutes we're talking about we've been doing the voice of rocket raccoon for 15 straight minutes this is how we've time escapes us sometimes when the episodes are two and a half hours we

honestly don't know it's true it's like jack white jack white says he um when he gets off stage he doesn't really like he can't remember what what happens exactly like just like jack white just as cool i feel the same way when i get off stage i don't remember like a lot of what i've done yeah jack white i've killed i've killed no no i've killed again um uh so uh uvabar was one of your destinations today i okay so yes i'm very fond of uvabar i could probably there's probably a bigger list i hey maybe probably that monsters inc thing i'd less rather go on there's probably a lot of rides i'd rather i'd less because if i'm at that property probably a good 45 minutes hour at uva bar is on the on the short list uh i lit i fit you mentioned it when you were here

before which i was i think part of like a I think was part of your salvation in a bad scenario. You talked about this, right? Yeah, I took a stem of mushrooms, maybe. It was when the initial incarnation of Star Tours was closing, and the three friends I went with decided to take mushrooms i i'm not i don't typically do uh hallucinogenics or psychedelics uh and i did it in this case i did a very small amount and it was a bad scene for me uh but at some point midday probably about i would imagine 4 or 5 p.m we left disneyland into downtown disney and got a beer at uva bar and like it brought me to a place

that i was like oh my god now i i can breathe again if that makes any sense yeah yeah wow that's beautiful. That's what this place offers. In a much more minor way, that's how I feel if I'm just, like, tired slightly or got too sweaty or something. But that's what, it is like a breath of fresh air. And I'm trying to figure out why, like, because really, I mean, it's like, not the greatest place you've ever been to. But I think within the Disney property where you lower your expectations, just, I think the fact that it's,

uh, that it's outdoors, it's very mellow. It's not themed. You can take a break from theming and just be at like a, be at a nice relaxing place. Uh, good beer and wine.

And I haven't like covered the gamut with the menu or anything uh because i'm just doing a chardonnay probably i have a lot of affection for that early 2000s logo that uva bar logo do you know what i'm talking about kind of like squiggly yeah yeah i was gonna say that's one of my least favorite things i figure yes i'm font picky but i i mean in terms of like choosing aesthetics no but i do like when things from the past had like florida when we were down in florida there's some stuff that it's like the 90s never ended in this oh yeah in this thing oh all their city walk entirely so i like seeing like different decades of stuff, like little remnants of different decades of stuff. We'll trip back to 2001.

Yeah, absolutely. They're bad fonts, though. They're, right? But you can be nostalgic for it. Yeah. That's basically what I'm saying. Like, you acknowledge that like aesthetically, if you were designing something these days, you would say that sucks, but.

The Katal font is more tasteful. Sure. It's very similar. Kind of similar. But isn't there just like a blockier letter? Am I wrong? Am I misremembering? Yeah, it's kind of like a. Sure. Very similar. Kind of similar. But isn't there just like a blockier letter? Am I wrong? Am I misremembering? Yes, it's kind of like a...

The Catawb fonts. Should we get back to doing the Rocket Raccoon voice? I don't know. Is that more fun than comparing the fonts? So what do you think then about the flute? Because I only learned recently from you telling me that the champagne flute planters surrounding Uwe Bahr. Have you noticed this?

That's when you're in Uwe Bahr, there's some big planters and they go up in kind of like a funnel shape. And I only knew this because I looked at an article that said they're supposed to be like big champagne flutes. No, I did not notice that. And we're on the upper echelon of people who like and have thought about Uwe Bahr, and we've never noticed that. While we're speaking generally about it, before we, if I don't know how deep

we're going to dive into this, Katal is the name of the restaurant that's essentially attached, that it's a part of. Yeah, that it's connected to, which we covered a little, I don't remember when. I don't either. It's a whole. Yesterday, the day before?

Yeah. You can't even tell that it's attached to a restaurant. To me, it's its own thing. It's weird. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. And it's not like there's no connecting. The first thing I think of is when we were,

last year in the City Walk saga, we were at the Howl at the Moon at City Walk, and there's an outdoor section of the piano bar, Howl at the Moon, but we had to have a waiter surf our drinks because you're not allowed to bring a drink onto the sidewalk. So there's just a man who was standing there

whose job was to take your beer from you or your big blue bucket of alcohol put it on a tray and he would have to walk it over like a sidewalk width yeah yeah but like really that does give those two things some continuity is my point there's nothing what you're saying there's no continuity between the restaurant and the bar there's like two separate entities. Yes. So I want, maybe, I want someone to serve liquor back and forth. At least you would know.

What are you talking about? You want someone to carry? You want an inconvenient liquor carrying? But at a nice restaurant, I've had a drink in the bar at Spago, and then when the table was ready, they put their, like, sir. Bragg. I said sir they carry it they carry your drinks for you i've been to spago around still it is it's tight yeah it's great it's really good recently remodeled the last few years have you been i've been enough four or five times four or five times to spago i've known you for like 11 years. When did you go to Spago?

My dad. When my dad comes out. When your dad goes to Spago trips? The first time, when I was first out here for school. My hands don't stand. Yeah.

That was one of the things my dad knew. It's like, when we come to Spago. My car doesn't stand. My car doesn't start. My car doesn't swipe. Did you say my car doesn't start?

My car won't start my car doesn't start my car won't start Spago was such a thing in popular culture as a reference point a name check for years Wolfgang he founded it with his hands but now it's like it's still very popular but it's not like a place

anymore it's not like it's still very popping it's it's popular it's still popular uh i don't know if it's popping i don't know how you gauge that that's a tougher it takes a yeah it takes a pretty i do like that place a lot because it feels like 1989 Beverly Hills in such a cool way. It feels like... Also, Wolfgang Puck, if Wolfgang Puck is there, he will come out and shake your hand. Yeah. I have shaken his hand. You did once?

I didn't know this. How many times? Just the once. Just the once. Do his hands scan? His hands do scan. He is a friend of Rocket. Okay. I just wanted to know. Damn'm really impressed i do that's familiar i've heard you i've heard you tell tale of

shaking shaking wolfgang's hand now but i guess yeah gang's hand wolfgang's hand man i want to i'm sorry the problem is Wolfgang's hands don't scan. The Wolfgang's hands don't scan. He's speaking about Wolfgang Puck specifically. Yeah. The problem is me and Wolfgang's hands don't scan. I tried to get up the gantry lift. Didn't work. Then I've got my buddy Wolfgang. Guess what?

His hands don't scan. So let's try you guys. I don't know. We should treat ourselves sometime. It's not terribly expensive. You want to go to Spago? Yeah, it's fun. Let's go.

I'll go. You never invited me. Okay. It's a him and his dad thing. I never thought it was... I went out to dinner with him and his dad. Actually, yeah, you have been. Will it grease your palms if I call you daddy?

Huh? A lot of daddy talk hey last time i was there they um i don't know what it was something where it's like the weight was a little longer than expected but like by like five like no one would have noticed but they came around to a bunch of the tables and gave everyone like free pizzas and they're like we're so sorry yeah with the salmon they have a pizza they're like one big thing is like an interpretation of lox uh in pizza form so it's kind of like a layer of creme fraiche and then uh salmon and capers delicious it sounds good yeah i would eat it but you guys want somebody you have to carry your drink to well i'm just

saying i'm saying what kyle was saying i kind of it's i felt immediately uncomfortable honestly but it was kind of neat yeah you that is cool in a fancy restaurant but i think it's good that it's a separate it doesn't feel like you're in some overflow of the better katal and i couldn't get into katal you i think i like uva more than katal i i've never sat down katal the the food though is seemingly coming from the restaurant the waiters have to navigate a pedestrian walkway to get to uva bar from the kitchen so shout out to them yeah that's full of peril and i will say i i have eaten the food there i don't know if you guys have yeah yeah yeah i feel like i've had some sort of flatbread or something right yeah flat everyone is you guys have yeah yeah yeah i feel like i've had some sort of flat bread

or something right yeah flat everyone is you know i prepped today i did some i did some work i got i did at least four things off the menu but i've eaten there quite a bit yeah oh geez what's shout out some stuff no that's off the table? I don't know. I love it. You're brave. I'm a man of research. So, it's nice knowing you guys. Today we had the, I will say, I definitely recommend the corn arepas. Yes, that's on my list.

I go back to these. These are good. I think this is good food. I think this is like. Yeah, that's not even like for theme park good. Yeah, those are really great. I'm sure i had had a rapist before i yeah i don't i never get that anywhere yeah i wait i wrote down what it is from the fried corn cakes topped with pulled pork guacamole cilantro and red onion good stuff very good i was about to say the same thing

it's very important that i read it you can just imagine what it is uh i feel like there's a lot of things to do with that have like the little like i don't do like a little shaved pepper topping anything with that you're looking good uh do you feel like you just like plugged in holes with food here and not had anything yeah i don't i don't yeah i feel like it's just like snack wise i've never sat down for the proper uva bar meal i've had drinks certainly yeah which is always a nice time i feel like uva bar at night is the time to do it i feel like i don't feel the magic during the day interesting because i don't think i've ever been there when it's gotten fully dark i mean it's obviously like everything is better at night at disneyland obviously for the most part but like it's a good daytime spot.

It's not bad. I don't want to trash it. I'm not trashing it. I think it's a good lunch spot, too. Like, if you want a little, like, respite from the parks. I mean, if you guys want to hear the rest of my order, you can. If you don't want to, I'm cool with that, too. I'm interested.

I would like to hear it. We all want to hear it. I would like to. Well, we've got the corner rapist yeah yeah i don't even know if that's the right way to say that phrase yeah and i meant to look up a pronunciation you know what we had them at jurassic world they serve it in the jurassic world at hollywood we're good the little corn cakes yes pork yeah i think i like that item. You don't see it that often. Yeah. But I do like it. Yeah.

We got the Happy Hour Barbecue Chicken Flatbread. Mm-hmm. I think I've had that. That's the one I've had. Which is kind of like a California Pizza Kitchen Steezeez if that makes any sense yeah yeah yeah yeah sure sure uh and fine it's good we got the guacamole we got the you got chips with that comes with the chips cool there's a bowl with spoons you have to grab loose guacamole i guess it's not another we got the buffalo wings today

is the other thing we got okay which are good but they're very like um fluorescent in color if that makes any sense they're like super i don't want to say orange but like just very bright and whatever that color is huh yeah yeah um but i've had they used to have these things these like street fries which are really good and now i think they have carne asada fries which maybe are the same thing but i think they used to come with chorizo but i i do i think the food there is good i think it's yeah yeah i look forward to it's not even just like a you know quick stop gap like yeah we'll go out of our way to go and line's not usually crazy which some of these newer downtown disney places they can be and sometimes deservedly so is there's some good

spots in there now but yeah you can pop in there without a big wait uh and and pretty chill pretty relaxing it does have like an elevated look to it kind of like the new um the new bar at uh uh naples like it's very well lit it's very well lit to trick you into thinking like oh this is nice this is fancy but not terribly you know crazy yeah it is nice but like that no it's like bar rescue tricks i'm saying like you know uh perceived value they say well in marketing but it's not terribly more expensive than most stuff is it a full 360 bar is it a full 360 around it is right i think so pretty much yeah yeah so that's something special yeah you're right that's a very special thing no No corners. There's no corner seats. Something feels cool about that.

I will say today, I'd never experienced this before, we were in a section, though a lot of sun coming through. Okay. So there are some non-shaded areas. Yes. But up to that, I've been going to this bar for maybe a decade now and never had that experience but the boys i was with you know it was new to them i said like i'm trying to impress my podcast friends all right all right what did the boys think of it uh they all were kind of doing their

own private reviews they're like yeah actually these are like pretty good But then one of them was like, I don't know. I got to say, I'll tell you later what I really think. Like, he wouldn't give the full review while we were there. I think he had some negative. Did he not ever tell you? Nope. I think he thought the food was just like, okay. I think the food, because we all eat like theme park food i think this is i think this is better than to me it's like yeah than normal

i think so yeah i think i think it's better than most okay anything in the parks that could compete or is better uh it probably requires a reservation or a big old weight yes so that's what really notches this up that you're just in there and it's it's happening i also want to share a really specific menu item that sounds really mundane and yet i like it a lot which is the trio of mediterranean dips yes have you had the trio of mediterranean yeah it's great really good yeah it's I mean like okay hummus and wait now I'm not sure which is the one I like hummus baba ghanoush and then mohamara I don't think I've said it out loud and I think maybe that's the one that I like

it's like darker and kind of purplish uh and that is a remarkable little a little uh little hummus you can get anywhere but whatever that one is whatever the mystery third one is that's so hamara is a hot pepper dip i bet it's spicy will you show me a pic do you got a picture uh this is just the wikipedia picture it kind of almost looks like a shot is it oh it's a hot pepper we typically get the dips the dips are great yeah it's like a good look you know what we keep doing it for is like if we feel like we've indulged too much or had some big too crazy of a lunch or something and we need like the theme park equivalent of toast just something simple just to settle the stomach yeah something quick before you get on the road what traffic died down

this is perfect for that aleppo pepper ground wal ground walnuts, breadcrumbs, and olive oil. Just soak it up. Oh, for sure, walnuts. That is instantly familiar. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A protein kick, too. That is so good. Now that I've, I need to get Mohamara.

I'm going to make a big deal out of Mohamara, like doing Nutella instead of peanut butter. Do you think they have the Uvabar referee? I will guess I have. I mean, if there is some, I'll have it will guess I mean if there is some I'll have it But I don't want to I'll let you get there They're pouring right now It's a rare drinking episode

This is only like the third drinking episode But it makes This is the time to do it We're a week into this thing But we're getting close to it We're almost like We're not that far from halfway through, which feels less. It's so much less punishing than City Walk so far.

Yeah. Like, if this is where we're at, I don't know. Like, it didn't work out. Like, it feels like I am not winded, and we're almost at the halfway point, and that feels great. Well, I mean, we do seven, if you're talking about, we do three episodes on Patreon, so we do seven episodes a month regularly. Oh, you're right.

So, this is about seven. So, we just have to do it again. Yeah. But it's so much better than the 19. So much better. Yeah. Yes. I wouldn't, because Kyle, I wouldn't recommend doing 19 daily podcasts in a row.

I don't know if you've had the pleasure or will have the opportunity. I don't know what that entails. That means every day you're recording something? What does that mean, actually? Well, it was spread out over a long amount of time. I feel like the City Works saga took forever. How close are you guys really, though? Are you a kayfabe or not kayfabe?

Oh, you're like digging through. I don't know what that way. That's a wrestling term. Meaning real life or kayfabe is like storyline. Is it character? Is it how much are we playing up our personas? Because we were just doing a little kayfabe. We could give you the real.

But are you just asking about us? Are you just curious about us? I'm not sure. Maybe you're in kayfabe we could give you the real we'll give you just asking about us maybe you're in k-fabe in general or his friends or that's what i was asking but but how would i be i'd be fake like i'm like you were trying to add on another bit or something i'm not i'm just saying he's asking how tight of friends are we oh that's all it was right essentially like i i think so yeah oh i thought that we were asking for like the real schedule of like how we were doing this um i think what scott was saying i think you were digging for a second you're digging for for marin stuff is what you're after i'll answer all any question i'll answer both of those don't care too much we have taken the lessons of our foolhardy early years of

podcasting and tried to go a little easier on ourselves i still that's not answering the question though i don't think i think it's a fair answer no i we're i mean we're friends in real life and we just had a big big great trip to orlando together you know what i think you know what i think is a bummer is that we now i feel like we hang out for podcast purposes because there's so much of this to do yes i agree and then we don't make a point of let's just hang out not no it's just why the trip was wonderful to just get to hang even though it still is all we hadn't rick well we hadn't recorded on saturdays in a while i feel like when we tend to record on saturdays we'll get a bite to eat or get a drink after yeah we haven't

done that in a while though uh yeah it is weird we got to remember to like put in the time what was the relationship prior to the podcast starting well you know what's interesting is they were friends mike and jason were you guys aren't in brock and i were on the harold team so we you know you have to make that blood oath uh for better or worse so and mike and i were friends separately and then we'd all hung out as a unit but i do think the podcast has resulted in specifically the scott jason friendship yes maybe not at the beginning yes we just hadn't had the chance right so it has the last line and the triangle really forms. I think. Yeah. But it's pretty cool, right?

It's great. It's pretty touching, right? I love being creative. Sure. No, it's awesome, obviously, to meet people and to form friendships. That's so vague sounding. I'm so sorry. like no i think that's true you have making adult friendships is a difficult thing so that's awesome very difficult

yeah they say especially once you get into your 30s like yeah it's even harder that's pretty correct and i yeah i will say this podcast especially has been a reason to like yeah these are like uh uh yeah like yeah, these are like, yeah, like, yeah, you guys are like much more recent friends. Yeah. New friend that I've had. Yeah. This is what you're making us.

I'm thinking like sweet, genuine things here. Well, cheers. Yeah. That's fair. Yeah. It's. I brought the whiskey too, if anyone wants to take a little. Oh, yeah.

That's okay. All right. The end of the champagne. Mike and I are about to take a little after a little after a little with this all right the end of the champagne Mike and I are about to take a little we may go back down we may go back down to uva bar after this

Kyle and I are going to uva all right hell yeah Mike's got that look in his eye yeah Mike please do not

mix it with your champagne that's gross that's horrible I can do it I put tequila in wine at Dave Ferguson's bachelor party, and I got very sick. So don't do that.

Like immediately sick or sick later? I'd have both. All the kinds of sick. Yeah, that's... You poured your tequila into the wine. I was like, I think I'd been like really pent up, and I'm like, I'm going to be an idiot this weekend um it's good this is i don't so mike just took a a pug i want to say a pug is a thing a sip from a dog you have a dog in front of you he's driving

me nuts he's about to knock over all the wires. I don't know where it's from. This was in my house. A pug. You took a pug. I feel like that's a thing. I took a pug. I took a little shot of it out of the bottle, but maybe I'm making that up.

I don't know if that's a phrase. I've never heard that before, but it's a cute little three-word. Mike just took a pug of the whiskey over there. Yeah. In context clues, you understand what it means. Well, you're more of a sipper. You probably aren't throwing him down too often. Yeah, I'm more of a sipper, I think.

I can handle it. I think I can still go if we need to go he's like go if we need to go you mean no no no if we like all of a sudden started like hard drinking oh okay yeah yeah sure like we had to i don't really want to because like it's you know it's a weeknight yeah but you're at home. But if we had to. I got my week off, dude. I'm chilling. All right. Yeah, you've got the rare week off.

You work very intense hours to set your job. Kyle, there's a Buffalo Wild Wings. It's open at 2 a.m. Very close to here. We can go right after. That's Mike's superpower. He knows anywhere he is, he knows where the closest Buffalo Wild Wings is. Absolutely. If you guys want to hang at the...'m down for whatever i have nothing to do well we'll go right there i'm ready i think

i think it's open unless it's only maybe they're open one on the weeknights there's also a barney's beanery so to be an asshole but if the buffalo wild wings is not open i don't want to hang out with you guys otherwise you know what it's important to set boundaries i understand no uh that's that's the attraction that actually speaking of friendship that you just opened up a window you just by allowing me or inviting me into that you're saying like you'd be down to extend the extend this past this thing which to me is very meaningful yes no of course i would be happy to extend i'm extending the past yeah for sure no question and did i just make this awkward no

you just made it weird i think i'm seeing 2am i'm seeing 2am is when the buffalo wild wings close just saying do we need to move to balance point maybe yeah possibly i've said everything i need to say look how much talking about it put us in this great mood like and now we just are like i feel like i'm at uva have it like yeah having a glad having a circular i guess that's yes it's 360 just like uva will say, I think the last time I was here, and I could be fully misremembering this, so I apologize if I am,

but I remember telling this to you, Scott, that Uwe, I swear, specifically, used to have a specific soundtrack that was old-school R&B. It was like Earth, Wind & Fire, Cool & ah earth, wind & fire, cool & the gang, chaka khan, like kind of that steez. really? and now i think is it is it right that downtown disney is just all like kind of the same disney soundtrack? pop music? oh there's more disney than they're like. i think that it's like not even like individual stuff i feel like you're hearing whatever they plug throughout the entire i think within the restaurants keeping the theming

going like as soon as you get on property because we were there today and i think it was like maybe even christmas music but it used to be i feel like uva bar i remember specifically like oh it's cool they're playing like earth wind and fire or something like that or yeah didn't you see you were down there and you saw like a you saw a band that was you saw like a covers band of this kind of thing or i don't know if that was at that might have been at california adventure yeah yeah that's oh yeah tina ald, maybe, or what are they called? During Food and Wine Fest. Ah.

Well, we saw Yali Crew. You were with us, right? No, I wasn't. Oh, I sent you pictures of Yali Crew, right? Yeah, not okay with me. It's the first time of two times that I've seen Yali Crew. Oh, man. In different spots, but that's the whole thing.

Yes. I think this was that same that stage period and like that was like i love all that stuff because it's like you hear like some bruno mars tracks yeah not much more to say other than the fact that it's cool to hear that well and and that's a disney escape hopefully it doesn't just they aren't just playing someday my prince will come in the mall because you need a i don't know i think you need those escapes so you can dive back into uh the immersive disneyness uh wanting more you were saying i scott i think you did grad night at disney yeah. And they played pop music on Main Street. Oh, now, yeah, that I didn't like.

Which you said was bad. My high school grad night where you're hearing like, Usher's Yeah. Oh, yeah. I think that's so bizarre, though, for one off night, though. It seems fun. I think, I don't know if everyone here got to experience the show during the summer, Mickey's Mixed Magic,

which I think I declared we'd do an episode, and we have not done an episode about it yet. I'm sorry. But Mickey's Mixed Magic has an original song about Mickey getting your ears on, is what they say. You know, that's a phrase they're using. I think to mean enjoy yourself.

It's like, come on, everybody, get your ears on. That's like, either getting hard or creaming. I think it's maybe both. I think he getting hard or creaming i think it's both he talks about just i think you have to get hard to cream so but at halloween he says let's boo this yeah and that means creaming yeah a lot of things mickey says means creaming. It's all in there. It's all there. But that's a very, look, that's like a very modern song to hear on Main Street. And I loved it. I was so excited.

Now, wait a minute. Did you, when we were in Orlando, did you catch any of Move It, Shake It, Mouse Could Dance It? I know what you're talking. Mouse Could Dance It, I think, is a war crime. Someone needs to be held responsible for the copyrighted phrase mouse-ka-dance it. I did not see it. I walked by it. I would.

There's a lot of things we missed. They were definitely mouse-ka-dancing. You and I both experienced a thing we didn't know existed. Oh, yes. The rainy day cavalcade oh because it rained very hard this one day yeah in disney world and uh and so what happened characters come out in their slickers it's like they come out and rain umbrellas and stuff and they have an original song they have an original song and lindsey and i are walking

down main street and that was the last thing we did before we left for la and we were we loved it we were so excited about also some characters just in their regular outfits which yeah they didn't have slickers not every character had every character it's yeah some agree on the word slicker together well i noticed jason said i noticed that it's funny if you want a little peek behind the process jason said slicker i went oh slickers funny yeah i'll keep saying it seriously and everyone will enjoy it that's trick and i'll say yeah and some characters had slickers that's what we learned and you know that's how you do the trick that's once is a phenomenon twice it twice a coincidence three times the pattern we took improv 501 together chad carter in 2009 we learned

that 10 years ago that's tight as hell so you got the drunker you guys get the more you name check improv theories yeah that's right man hell yeah hell yeah daddy um so all right ballast point ballast point i have some ballast point stuff okay ballast point uh san diego in the house yeah that's the thing yeah you must have been when you find out this was your stage you must have lost your shit uh yep speaking of third time is a pattern. Ballast Point likes Sanook and Sunglass Icon by Sunglass Hut. Ballast Point in 2015

joined the Constellation Brands family. The beverage magnet Constellation Brands bought them for $1 billion. Wait, those other places are also Constellation Brands? No, in terms of Sunglass Hut is part of Lux Optica if you'll sunglass hud is part of luxe optica if you'll recall sunuk is part of a shoe monopoly uh constellation brands is another constellation also owns corona

modelo pacifico yes vedka vodka paul mason oh paul mason oh the french i i'm sorry to interrupt you oh that's guys i don't know but that was and i uh i i don't claim to be an expert by any means but that this was controversial i think it was yeah within the craft beer community yeah um but yes like i, I'm from San Diego, and, like, they, we kind of claim craft beer is a thing for, like, that's a thing about our, the city claims. Yeah, and Ballast Point started there, yeah. But when Ballast Point essentially, like, yeah, when they, like, kind of were sold to this company,

like, then I think even people within that culture and community turned their backs on it. It felt like a corporate move, if that makes any sense. Also, I have bad news. It seems like consumers have also turned their backs on it. Oh, man. I do have to give away my connection to this this is from the website good beer hunting the an article written by my college roommate brian roth

an award-winning an award-winning beer writer wrote an article about uh some of uh uh, uh, ballast points, misfortunes, uh, production fell by about 110,000 barrels between 2016 and 2018. Oh no. Uh, and the first half of 2019, the ballast point family of brands had sold just under a third of the package product. It did in all of 2018. I want to,

I want to get ahead of this and say, first of all, I love you, Ballast Point. I love your beer. Truly, I'm not believing the hype. You guys are doing your own thing. Go ahead, Jason. I'll say it. But that said,

the Ballast Point location downtown Disney is always packed. I think I had a beer there once because we've gone before and we haven't assist you. The Ballast Point location downtown Disney is always packed. I think I had a beer there once because we've gone before and we haven't gotten in. Like, it's just too crowded. I haven't gotten in there. I haven't gone to this place.

We've tried it two or three times. Why are you doing a podcast about this thing you've never been to? I've been. I've had a beer before. We are punishing ourselves. Yeah, you haven't.

I mean, it's good. We've tried to have a meal a couple times and the line is out the door it's insane yourself get a number sort of thing it was chill today that's good you got in there today i genuinely think the beer there the sculpin is the b is the name is the most maybe famous like and so they got around they've got different flavors they got like a pineapple sculpin they've got a grapefruit grapefruit sc And so they've got different flavors. They've got like a pineapple sculpin. They've got a grapefruit sculpin.

They've got a regular sculpin. I think this is a beer I love. Actually, I will like go out of my... I wanted to bring you guys a six pack of the grapefruit sculpin because it's one

of my favorite beers. Yes, that's great. Legit great. But that is a $15 six pack. That's true. On message boards, people are arguing boards people are arguing about a beer he likes the price is i think but $15 it's good you mr spago is upset about the price uh uh there's a lot more craft brewers than when uh balance point started and there is a lot of cheaper craft brewers doing the same

quality at the price point i will say right now like i walked into this scenario knowing that we were going to talk about ballast point and i did like zero research and i'm realizing like you guys have not done any research about your craft beer wait wait ballallas point grapefruit sculpin is 12 dollars i have to know a little stuff about this because like it is from where i'm from so i have to like at least like pretend to know do you know it's like yeah yeah sure it would be like deep dish pizza yeah it's like part of the culture and like which it's like probably one of the primary san diego besides like california burritos or like carne asada burritos or something like that Yeah, it's like part of the culture, and it's probably one of the primary San Diego culinary things. Besides California burritos or carne asada burritos or something like that.

Sure. I'm looking it up just now on Target, and you can get it for $12. $12 is a different thing. No, Jason's right. It's super expensive. It is expensive compared to similar craft beers. Grapefruit? Grapefruit?

Who gives a shit about grapefruit? What are you talking about? Grapefruit is the deal. Grapefruit? Grapefruit? Who gives a shit about grapefruit? What are you talking about? Grapefruit is the deal. Grapefruit is the important thing. We're talking about fun beers. Golden Road right down the road sold to a similar amount to Anheuser-Busch a number of years ago. You're raising your voice, Jason. You're raising your voice.

Because I'm right. You're doing that thing where like, why are you doing that like you it is true that it's super expensive about a fun all right i'm looking okay i'm gonna look up grapefruit beer but i will say like wait why are you looking up grapefruit the price of citrus isn't comparable i'm comparing citrus we're talking about grapefruit the best of all of of these. That's my favorite of the Sculpin flavors. Of the Sculpins. I'm talking about Southern California, IPA-centric craft brewery. That's what I'm talking about.

Take a deep Uva Bar-style breath. Hey, give Jason a swig of this whiskey, I think. Oh, I don't want to know. I'm driving after this. You're all good. We're going to Buffalo Wild Wings after this. You'll have a couple beers to calm down. What do you like about the beer?

You like the beer. Here's the thing. I'm almost embarrassed to talk about this stuff because I don't feel informed in the way that I would love to feel informed. But I do like quote like craft beer sure and san diego as i said is a spot that it's like i don't know san diego portland i don't know they're like a few of these craft beer cities were these be when you in like your early drinking career did did Ballast Point jump out?

Not until I was basically outside of college did I realize that San Diego, I went to college in LA, I didn't even realize about Ballast Point's existence until it was already a thing. Sure, sure. You had to be 21 anyway to go to the places. And then it probably sold to this company, which, I'm sorry, I forgot the name of oh constellation brands scott they also have uh they bought robert bundavi

for 1.36 billion i knew of it like before it sold to that company like probably two years or three years before that if that makes any sense yeah um do you ever go to the uh do you ever go to any of the san diego restaurants or to like they have a they have they had a spot in scripps ranch which is where i'm from in miramar and scripps ranch is truly like my neighborhood and i did go there and i i heard about it before i ever went there so it was a thing where i was like oh there's a craft brew place called ballast point and it was kind of a a zone for people to meet up at and hang out at and so i knew the name in i don't know the mid-aughts or whatever sure sure yeah uh they're like pretty good aesthetically

right i've only seen pictures of this restaurant downtown but like or like it might not be you can speak to the san diego ones but it seems like they're like cool inside good graphic design like very cool and i will say we hung out at the ballast point in downtown disney today and the dude who served us, very nice guy. They have specific beers they're brewing just for that downtown Disney zone. Wow. And I believe the guy's name is Chris Klein, who is the head brewer at downtown Disney and Long Beach.

They have a Long Beach. From commutes that become learning sessions to dishwashing filled with laughs, podcasts can help you make the most out of your everyday.

Spot as well um but they have beers that are only being brewed for just that ballast point at downtown disney wow and these people the way the dude spoke to us like he cared about beer seemingly and i don't know if that matters to you or to people but like it was nice to hear like he seemingly was like something i'm into and like yeah they make this this guy who came up with this recipe used to be a lawyer and he decided he wanted to brew beer and this is the one he came up with wow which is very sweet i thought yeah yeah we should say these this is

the first uh brewery at the disney property right or in danda disney so the first like you know obviously plenty of places you can drink but the first place where beer is being actually made on property so that's cool and a fun i think it's an interesting like sign of the times that build a bear workshop is replaced by i think it shows who's going to downtown disney and disney that it's sort of like less kids a little and more more young adults and people who uh want to get drunk you can take uh their six-pack or tall boys you can take to go. So if you're staying at a hotel or even if you just want a broader selection

than what's at your grocery, you can get it to take at the exit. And have those in the room? Yeah. We should do this pre-our overnight. Did I get too excited talking about that i feel like all of a sudden i got too excited for this show no yeah then that was all pretty that was all pretty sincere i know what you mean where like i feel like i'm a beer and wine fan but i

could not like i couldn't like talk about a flavor for more than uh five words you know what i mean yeah it's not even that i feel generally defensive because like this brand specifically represents craft beer but they got a bat like and they're from my city the city i'm i i grew up in but they sold they like you know became they sold to like some major corporation or whatever uh and thereby like people who love quote craft beer then started talking shit about it because like it's like they sold out exactly yeah which i think a lot of this happens a lot this happens a lot in life these days sure yeah but i think in the craft beer world it happens a lot in life these days. Sure. Yeah. But I think in the craft beer world, it happens a lot because like beverage distribution is like there's only like two or three like main distributors.

But I'm saying that happens with... That's why you can't get like Yingling this far west. It's like difficult. So when places of this size, like of a craft brewer of Ballast Point or Golden Road size, when they want to expand they need more resources like you need to hook up with a bigger sure sure it's just or also like the people who started those brands have the chance to make a lot of money oh yeah that's the thing i'm talking about make some scratch yeah yeah you gotta get it you gotta cash in baby no you don't know how

to be mad about it jason. That's all I'm saying. No, Jason's not mad. What am I mad about? You were raising your viewers yelling about the beer place. I don't understand why you were mad at me. Oh, the price is too expensive. It's too expensive. You're right.

It's a higher, like, and they position themselves, too. Like, there's a season of Top Chef where, like, it's like the California season, and like, every other shot, someone's drinking the california season and like every other shot someone's drinking a ballast point and in the other shots everyone's drinking perrier so like they're trying to like oh be the bump be the bump up sort of option with beer in general though i like i think i'll drink whatever i don't really care Let's go The boy is back in town I could maybe Identify

Oh this is a stout This is an IPA I could say This is better than the other But I do think Because I like You know Look I like a sugary drink

When they got the fruit And the beer That's when I I go I go a little crazy You go a little crazy You go a little crazy For me at least Which is what crazy for me You had a little more. You go a little crazy. For me, at least, which is what crazy for me.

You had a little more of a pug. How's that pug hitting you? Oh, good. I feel I have that warmth, that whiskey warmth that you get. Nice. The kind that Jason refuses to have. Yeah, come on, Jason. Do it.

What? Get a little swig. Pug. I can glance at sparkling wine. Get a little pug, though. Is this a new word? I can glance at sparkling wine Did I Is this a new word Yeah you created a new word I thought it was a thing dude

Swig is the thing Is it like you take a plug of it You take a quick pug of the Pug of the booth Maybe you're right maybe I don't know I always say swig Swig is the word I always would use I know swig is a word yeah i know i'm not saying you didn't like the sound of pug uh are you do you i like the sound of i know i like the sound of pug both g's at the

end uh do you have fun as uh also for also uh theme park san diego uh beer brand uh carl strauss love it um but that's like i knew of that that's a different and these are all abstract thoughts like uh i knew of that when i was growing up and like oh that's a place that has a brewery that exists here but ballast point represented like quote craft beer in a way that carl strauss didn't does it make any sense like yeah yeah like ipa or whatever it was that they were doing well the approach just felt like not too far away from Samuel Adams or something. I don't know. Oh, sure.

Yeah. I don't know where Carl Strauss is from, but I've always known Ballast Point is from San Diego. Like, I know it's like a hometown. Like, they put it on the cans and bottles and stuff. Like, this is a hometown thing. Is it worth going to those San Diego ones? If I'm in the area?

I was at the Little Italy one this July. It was cool. I think anywhere in San Diego is worth it to go because San Diego rules and we love what you guys are doing. Keep that spirit alive.

San Diego guys and gals. Not a lot of people are repping San Diego these days. You know, Tony Gwynn passed away, but he killed it. He was one of the best hitters of all time. Lindsey, Kate Tye's from San Diego. Yeah, that's right. That's right, Lindsey. I'd love to talk to you about that.

She's upstairs playing with a dog. She's got to distract him. We'll find a minute. Do you not like me? I saw Padre's game at Jackphy and after the game beach boys with stamos like with part of the same i think i saw the beach boys play there played there too i think i saw the doobie brothers post michael mcdonald okay but post padres that night post the show that was a thing they were doing and i remember like knowing i'm just having

this thought now knowing that you i like that music we shared this the the soft uh yeah yeah the yacht aor i remember this and i was not super into that music per se when i was like in fourth grade or whatever but like sure yeah i remember being at a padres game and like there was a concert after the fact and a dude who was sitting next to myself and my father being like oh the dewey brothers playing and michael mcdonald's not a part of the band anymore he really like firm so fuck these so he knew it he knew he was like michael mcdonald's not in a band it's not gonna be as soulful but we still might get like the pre i've heard there i've heard it quantified as like uh i've even heard people say like you know good doobie brothers and then michael

mcdonald doobie brothers are you out of your mind are you out of your mind so people treat that without michael mcdonald people treat that like a black water that's probably is that boring to me i would never listen to that i need but uh a big like a live album where he's doing it with them. You got that distinct voice. What years was he with the Doobie Brothers? Like 77, 78. He made his mark as a Steely Dan backup vocalist. Yeah, yeah.

Via Jeff Skunk Baxter. Just really shaped the band. Just really, you know, latter day edition who made a big difference. Just like Bill Champlin in Chicago. That's not what this podcast is about, but it also is. It can be. And, you know, that's, you guys talk, you get talking about improv theory and I get

talking about session music. Yeah, let's talk more about that, what we learned in Chad Carter's class, Jason. What did everyone think about the fish? The sculpin fish itself. The big sculpin grapefruity fish is on the wall in the restaurant. I gotta say say that's hashtag finding nemo they painted them real big though like wall sized in the restaurant it's a little it's like the primary and like everybody in the uh restaurant has t-shirts with like that

yeah that there's a specific artist who's doing all of that work yes and it's good i think it's kind of cool i i looked i watched a video on their website because i was like why did they choose a sculpin and uh the answer and this is a direct quote uh deceiving delicious but be careful that was his answer of why they chose to name it a Sculpin. Hmm. So, that implying that the drink might have like a bite. Yes, because it does have 7% ABV, which is kind of high for a beer. Which is true. That will happen that you have the beer with the higher alcohol percent. You forget.

Especially with IPAs. It's only a beer. And then you're like, how did I get so messed up? I like a Session IPA. Sure. So, you get a little of the flavor but you get less of a beer jason i like uh uh golden road like the the either the la we're talking la yeah we're talking la big big slight uh watch out guys i'm glad i'm between

you know wolf among the weeds or this which is the double ipa uh or the wolf pup which is the uh session ipa wolf pup is good i like a uh knott's berry farm boysenberry cider boysenberry cider or boysenberry beer a tradition like a beer they have it as well i can't like that boy i think that's too sweet for me yeah i think i can only do one or two but i do like it sure i can't do five i gotta say i'm one of those guys who will drink anything get fucked up however much i can or will you've made a lot of finger you're going you went from four one to four fingers really fast so anything i can turpentine to drink whenever i can i'll make fun of whoever the fuck I want to. I'll spit in their face.

I'm kidding. I'm sorry. Jesus Christ. Wow. We've been with a monster this whole time. Oh my gosh. Algesh Curio is mine if anyone was curious. Algesh is what I've had.

I don't know what that is. That's it. Well, I used to think it was a little more rare. You had to pick A place that had it But Yardhouse Has them Oh yeah Really

Is Yardhouse open At 2 Probably I think so Yeah yeah Yeah Mike got so excited That's a bigger bite

Than that Sculpin Because that's a 10% Watch out In a tiny little goblet But a big old bite Yardhouse opened At 1am Still good

Still not How late is AMC McGuffinsin's open because we can be here all the time like I can just do your podcast with you guys for the next week if you need like a just you can show and style like you're gonna do a residency I'm not good the way you guys are you guys are so good you don't have to put yourself down like that. You're great. Can't be. What are you? You do a very difficult job.

My hand. But the problem is my hand's not scanned. But at the end of the day, none of our hands don't scan. That is true. To podcast, your hands do have to scan. You gotta scan. Are we done?

Maybe we're done. I mean, I could be done. I'll take a little pug and then I can be done. Oh, yeah, take a pug. Everybody take a pug. All right, I'll take a pug. Take a pug. Give me your order and I'll take a pug pug and then i can be done all right i'll take a give me an order and i'll take a pug oh my god oh mike you're really can i describe to the listeners what's happening is there is a bottle of rye whiskey that i i inherited uh it's a whistle pig tenure it's a reputable brand of rye. That is now being passed around, and we're deciding whether

pugging is just taking a sip of whiskey or not. Nobody's told me whether that's a word or not. You guys took bigger ones than me. It's hard to measure in a champagne glass. Kyle, a pug. You got a pug, too.

Well, Kyle's going right for the pug. Oh, geez. Yeah. Well, that was more than a pug too. Well. Kyle's going right for the pug. Oh, geez. Yeah. Well, that was more than a pug, maybe. Well, don't. Although, I don't know. You said, you tell us what a pug is. He created it, Scott.

Okay. Let him measure it out. Well, pug on three. Pug on three. One, two, three. Pug. That's for the listener to kind of visualize what we were doing. Oh, right. I made that noise.

And with that, Kyle Mooney survived Podcast the Ride. One of the funner episodes, I think, of the series, certainly. Very cutting for our other episodes. To record, I'm saying. I mean, not fun, but like, like this one we're having fun jason got really mad at me though during the episode so he didn't have that much fun we just started talking about citrus like you start talking about the grapefruit you got mad at me answer i i you you started talking about citrus but this is this is like an old this is like a trick.

Like, we know how to gas each other up a little. This is that improv trick. He knows how to gas me up. We've gotten so far from that nice stuff we were saying halfway through the episode. This is my natural state. In 2009, I do remember Jason and I talking about theme, like, it was theme park very quickly. So, to talk about earlier of, like, us as friendship. But then you got in that huge citrus fight and the whole

friendship never got off almost never got off the ground jason and i fight about citrus a lot a lot that's a lot of problems i would love to i i want to know more about you guys friendship that's something i want to know but maybe that's not this oh do you have one more do you have another like one more question we could go out on a question about our friendship. Any of us, whatever dynamic you're thinking. Can you give me like truly like 30 seconds to think? Absolutely. Sure. Yeah.

We need 30 seconds. Well, then we can't wait. While you're here, just don't pay attention to us. But I'm still going to say your proper goodbyes. So for more of what has just become, we realize this is the downtown Disney district. So make sure you use hashtag DDDO, downtown Disney district ordeal. Hashtag save the level keeper.

Hashtag sector keeper cricket wireless severance. Tweet that at cricket wireless and not at us. And for more of the downtown Disney ordeal and the rest of level three, follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. And of course we will be back tomorrow. Uh,

and, uh, Hey, three bonus episodes every month that, uh, podcast or patrion.com slash podcast, the ride, the second gate.

Uh, that's what it's called. Not the web address is patrion.com slash podcast. Right. I think this plug is getting to me. So, but he said, that's all of our business.

That was about 30 seconds. Kyle Mooney. Have you formulated a question? Hold on one second. One second. An item is appearing. Oh, you're right. An item is appearing.

Oh, yeah, yeah. It's really getting to me. Yes. Oh, yeah. In our satchels. Oh, my God. It's being sent to us. And it is a...

Oh, my... Wait a minute. Hold on. It's a medium-sized sculpin. So it's not just a little tiny guy that can't do anything, but it's meaty. It's like bigger than other sculpins. So he might pack a pretty serious bite.

Yeah, we could do some damage with that. That could really come in handy with whatever boss we're going to face. We face bosses, Kyle, at the end of the... I know. Yeah, yeah. I'm nervous as well. Oh, boss fight. You don't have to go, boss. You're going to face. We face bosses, Kyle, at the end. I know. I'm nervous as well. You don't have to. You're about to get out of here. Unless you stick around all week, but that's up to, you know,

you should try to get out before there's bosses to face. So, okay. Hopefully that sculpin can be kind of our attack dog or attack fish. Great. Kyle, what have you got? You don't have to ask anything. You can also just say your Twitter or whatever.

I can turn it off right now. I can turn the recorder off right now. What do you think? I guess you guys met each other while you were working on the same improv team? These two guys?

We met each other in an improv class, and then a few years later we were put on the same team. Like one year later, yeah. I think it was... 2009, we were put on the team in 2010. Okay. Is there more to the question? Or are you just clarifying something?

Just getting timelines right no it's uh no i just i i yeah that's what um so yeah we were in class together first so we improvised together and then i think because of our association with each other they put together a team of people that had all like a couple different little groups together that had worked with each other and so was there a moment where you guys felt like you clicked or got along uh i mean i think in general it was i remember we had a class on melrose yeah uh and i do remember very quickly like like this guy i remember that moment. I remember too. Yeah. You guys are pointing nice points at each other. I don't remember the day of it. I just remember very quickly being like,

oh yeah, this guy. I do remember that. I think you did a scene of a man breaking down in a Taco Bell. Well, that's it. You're bringing this up. This is going to be very interesting for the listener when it really, a revelation in my improv

was when Chad Carter had me do this scene. And that's... Chad Carter. This is going to be very interesting for the listener When really a revelation in my improv Was when Chad Carter had me do this scene And that's Chad Carter And now you Now you just Chad Carter, a daily show Former daily show writer
