Forever Dog. Talk about going to the Warner Brothers Studio special event, Friendsgiving, which is, of course, a Friends TV show themed studio tour slash large Thanksgiving meal. Duh. Hey, it's Podcast the Ride, a theme park podcast with facts that are drier than my family's Thanksgiving turkey. My name is Mike Carlson. Joining me as always, Jason Sheridan. You know, you don't want to undercook poultry. It could get real sick. Well, that's the main thing my mom taught me when I was growing up, is that we have to overcook chicken and turkey so foodborne illness doesn't kill me.

Sure. And that's in my head, and it's apparently in your head as well. It is. Yeah. Well, that's why I like dark meat, because it's so easy. What do you mean? It's naturally more moist, like naturally greasier. So you're saying if you overcook a piece of dark meat,

it'll still be juicy? It'll still be reasonably juicy. Oh, I didn't know that. It's the extra fat. Is that true? It's fattier. Yeah, because there's not much fat in a breast. And so they dry out more wow really this is interesting our guests are coming in already i don't know about a human just the fact jason shared enough

he doesn't appreciate it no i don't often get this yeah a chicken thigh is a more reliable thing to cook like a reliably yummy usually he'll get the business from me for a while and then online the people come to your rescue online yeah i think that's why i jumped in i wanted to make sure yeah sure justice for jason dark meat enjoyer jason sheridan with me as always dark meat enjoyer jason sheridan it with me as always dark meat and joyer jason sheridan it's true he has said that on the podcast before so that is something that uh the fans know the listeners know let's bring the guests in though so they can talk about turkey as well fully with their uh credits

She's also my love, I should tell you. Oh, well, that's good. You have to say it, though, in a weird, like, I got made fun of because I said my love. Like, I said it in a weird, strange way. Kind of cracked a little.

And my lady love, Lindsay Kaytai. I almost said it like Jerry, like, nice lady or something. I think you were trying to be nice and sincere, and it just came out squirrelly. Story of my life, brother. Squirrelly. Story of my life. But they're here. We sent them on a mission.

We sent our two guests on a mission, a Thanksgiving-ish mission. I was about to break out in a cold sweat because I was like, oh, my God, what do for the podcast but we went it would be funny okay that's good it would be a big reveal if you actually lied to me no that'd be really funny it's just that it was escaping me what we were here to talk about for a second so when you were like a mission i was like oh no i messed up this is ostensibly a thanksgiving episode episode But it's Thanksgiving is a little bit Harder to find Big specific Thanksgiving stuff

In relation to theme parks It's here and there So you really have to Like look This fits perfectly I feel like So you look for it And then sometimes

Stuff will pop Like little temporary stuff But Halloween and Christmas Yeah So much stuff out there Oh my gosh I would have loved To come on for Halloween I did so much in October Oh really my god i would have loved to come on for halloween i did so

much in october oh really anything you want to shout out real quick um what's the uh it's not called delusion it's the one in uh it's uh in an old burlington factory in where oh in buena park you did a crazy thing a A year, an hour away. We should have had you on to talk about this. It was incredible. It was so fun. I would put it in my top one place tied. Really?

Yeah, it was tied with my not scary experience. Did they shrink wrap you or something? I saw a video of this. It seemed crazy. Oh my God, no. We didn't get shrink wrap, but we got in a claustrophobic tiny tiny like bridgeway to connect us into the actual like um experience the maze yeah uh and it was just like the production quality was amazing we didn't know what to expect because it's like people who

put it together they're not like you know uh they're not it's not like um you know one of the bigger yeah exactly universal studios theme park yeah am i thinking of the is there where there's like live bugs in it or something like there's a really intense one that friends of ours have said no never again i'm just trying to make sure it's horrifying is that one downtown maybe i'm You know what? I'm thinking of a different one I think I think you're probably describing one That's less intense

Is Buena Park an hour away? Yeah about that Yeah yeah yeah Right by Knott's And it's in the mall Yes It's in the mall right next to Ice cream

Right next to ice cream Cold Stone Creamer I don't know It might be a different one There's a couple different Buena Park Mall haunts. Believe it or not. Wow.

And one which Marissa and Justin both said no, never again. And I looked online and they were like, yes, and I think there were like live bugs. Oh, Reign of Terror. I think it is Reign of Terror.

That's the one. That is the one they said never again. It was great. So you loved it. I loved it. Wow, okay. I loved it.

And you do this every year? Yeah, I have a friend, Patrick McDonald. Shout out if he's listening. Yeah, of course. Our dear man. But yeah, we go. We do like Super Bowl Sunday of Halloween, the Sunday before. And we try to pack everything in all day.

Well, next Halloween, maybe we'll send you to do something or- Yeah. You got to do. I do the pumpkin run every year in Alhambra. Oh, you to do something or. Yeah. You got to do. I do the pumpkin run every year. I haven't done that. Yeah. It's so fun. That's cool.

Yeah. So, yeah, next year. We'll keep that in mind. Sure. Jason also has said, because Jason's not a haunt guy, but he has sort of suggested possibly going to one next year. Oh, we should go. I think my toes in.

We're open to haunts these days. His little toesies into the pool well I get those little piggies in there what are you scared of I'm easily startled

yeah yeah a very easily startled with me as always the easily startled Jason Fairbanks the easily startled chicken thigh

and there it is no I mean, we did get to talk to people at Knott's once and did one or two mazes there. Yeah. You did one maze. I did. I couldn't remember. Okay, you got scared

in the maze, but then you also got scared when we were walking through a scare zone and you clung to me also. Oh, I mean, the scare zones are in some ways scarier yeah i agree those those fucking neat on their knees yes yeah they're more of a curse so like you know uh universal studios has the chainsaws yes which i thought that was so scary and not scary they have those sliders the sliders that's what they are oh my god i hate those so bad i had no idea because you don't know if they have control true control you knowiders that's what they are oh my god freaked me out so bad I had no idea

because you don't know if they have control true control you know and that's my biggest fear is someone losing control at me you know

yes and they spark and they have the whole milk carton with the loud bolts in it and that's an unnerving sound and really my fear with those guys

is one of them decides tonight's the night yes I don't want to think about that yeah sure because I'm in a position to of course

but they're all theater kids that is that is comforting that is comforting that is very comforting and I do it every year it's not just some nutball they are

fellow theater kids wait they're theater kids I just want to give you a specific nutball there's some camaraderie there yes sure solidarity

yeah I should remind myself of some camaraderie there yes solidarity yeah you know I should remind myself of that one I guess I was going to like dip my toes in more this year

and I was like all right I'm gonna watch a bunch of horror movies around Halloween good but we started with kind of an oddball

which is Halloween 3 season of the witch oh which is the one Oscar Montoya was telling me and kelly about that people love that episode of i've actually seen it yeah it's beloved it is an interesting movie but it was also very slow to the point where jane fell asleep halfway through and i'm just sitting

there i'm like very intrigued by it but i was like I gotta read all about this movie like it is Interesting, but I was like the director must be like a BBC guy no very American Wow Like the director and the star both went on to be like horror movie royalty like they've done so many horror movies So was that the only horror movie you watched in October? Yes. Oh, then you were totally tapped out with Season of the Witch. Dropped them all and then the world became horror movies, so we had not gotten back on it. That was in November, though.

Yeah, when did you watch Season of the Witch? October 31st. October 31st. It was like the 30th. It was fair. You were getting a little bit of a late start there, Jason. I was, yeah. That'sth. It was fair. You were getting a little bit of a late start there. I was. That's okay.

That's okay. You know, I had a lot going on. It's like, this year I'm really going to do it two days before the day. Two days. He kept putting it off, putting it off, you know. Horror movie procrastinator, Jason Scher. Horror movie procrastinator, Jason Scherr. Horror movie procrastinator. You know, we had to finish English Teacher,

what we do in the shadows started. Oh, nice. As I was saying before the show, Dr. Odyssey, we went all in on Dr. Odyssey. Oh, yeah. Tell us more about this Dr. Odyssey show. Okay, Dr. Odyssey, it is an ABC drama, which I didn't know until a couple episodes in

that it is a Ryan Murphy produced show. My goodness. Okay. So it is about a luxury cruise ship. Wow. And the medical team on the cruise ship, led by Dr. Odyssey, Joshua Jackson. Oh.

What? Joshua Jackson? Wait. The performer who was the original eliza in hamilton i've okay philippa something yeah and then uh the other guy was has just been in a million tv shows he was in uh rain and the show called i think incorporated and uh but the captain of the cruise ship is don johnson oh i have it's like a new love it is like a new love but like tina that's uh uh rachel dracius guest starred oh wow jason's gonna win every actor that's been on the show regularly concurrently it's like I love that so the guest

Phillipa Soo Phillipa Soo yeah and I forget who else there was another like really good guest star

oh Margo Martindale oh my god it's tagline is big deck energy no no this is very different than I was thinking

yeah big deck energy big deck energy Jason Big deck energy. Jason doesn't want to talk about theme parks ever again. He just wants to talk about Dr. Odyssey. He wants this to be what Scott, this episode is Scott free. Oh, wow. Jason's new Dr. Odyssey podcast. Dr. Odyssey podcast.

Every episode since Scott's been gone, I've had to cut 45 minutes of Dr. Odyssey talk from him just so we can hit a reasonable amount of time. And that's episodes of two and a half hours long. Bethy Squire said the Vulture group chat was all about Dr. Odyssey. You need to get in the Vulture group chat, I think, too.

I mean, I love a network television show that's really just a showcase for guest stars. So I fully support this. And I assure you, it heightened zero to 60 very quickly. I believe it. And Joshua Jackson's secret, his motivation is insane.

I gotta check it out. I cannot wait. He's looking good. Pacey's looking good these days. He's still got it. He's looking really good. Don Johnson is looking pretty good too. Okay, okay. Hello. Don Johnson. Don Johnson. Looking pretty good, too. Yeah, okay.

Okay, okay. Hello. Don Johnson, enjoyer of Jason Sheridan. Philippa Soo, still in her prime, so. Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jason pitched this idea that we would rate the attractiveness of the cast of Dr. Odyssey on today's show, but I said no. We're not doing that.

We have to talk about Friendsgiving. You know I love rating the attractiveness of actors, male and female alike. That's right. You want to say one through ten. You love that scale. I love my scale. Before we talk about the actual topic, though, we have been sent a gift. And I thought it was for all of us.

I thought it was for the three hosts of Podcast Right, but it was actually just for Jason. Oh, really? And I was so delighted by this gift. And especially because, you know, this is Thanksgiving, you think of food, it's a lot. So I felt like this tied in pretty nicely. But I opened the box just thinking it was a gift for the three of us.

But no, no, it's just for you. And I'm going to give you this gift now from a listener who's, there's a little note with it. But here you go, Jason. This is what you've been gifted right here. That's great. Oh my God. It is a hat

of a minor league baseball team I believe and it is is that scrapple on it I think that this is a scrapple egg and cheese this is a Delmarva scrapple new era hat

for podcast of rides Jason Sheridan thanks for all the meeteries Paul New Era hat. For Podcast of Rides, Jason Chardon, thanks for all the meteries. There's a name on there, too, in the bill, too. I think you should read just to thank you. Thank him on the air. On the top right there. Top right.

Joseph Brokowski. Thank you, Joseph. Is that a real name? Don't read his address. No, don't read his address No don't read his address No From Massachusetts This man's name is Brokowski Well you mean like Because of the bro in there

Doesn't seem real Yeah it sounds like a nickname You'd say I mean Sorry it's Borokowski Sorry Jason misread it Ironically I do have

I knew something was up This is... Thank you for not sending me the Redding Fightin' Phil's hot dog hat. Because I have a nearly identical hat with a big hot dog on it. Okay. So minor league baseball is very fun. Honestly, I want this hat very badly. You have a hat now.

I really like this hat. We talk about Scrapple. It is an East Coast meet that I have never come in contact with. Okay, I was going to ask. And Jason has fond memories of it from his youth.

And anytime we have somebody from the East Coast on the show, we bring Scrapple up, they understand, they know what it is. It's not, it was a regional thing.

But now, you have Scrapple on your head. And it delights me that this has been gifted to you. Well, now I have to look up to the, is it the Delmarva Shorebirds? Which is, yeah, it's a Maryland minor league team. I knew about the New Jersey Blue Claws, which is another, that's in North Jersey. I think that's another Phillies minor league team.

Okay. So you don't have all your Phillies minor league teams committed to memory yet. Well, no, I have the Iron Pigs Scrapple. I'm remembering. Oh, so you have a second Scrapple.

Is there? If anyone was going to, it would be you. Absolutely. Well, here's what I say. Or anyone in the area. Yeah. Here's what I say to the listeners. Keep them coming.

Why stop at two? Let's get one for each day of the week. One, you could wear one each. And then you could really coordinate with different outfits. And then you can give that with different outfits. Yeah. And then you can give that one to me. food items? No,

I think a New York team did like the Brooklyn Seinfelds one year and had like one of the, not putty,

had one of the, one of the regular guest stars on. Okay. I really appreciate that the minor league teams have some fun with their names. Yeah. Some creativity. They are, yeah.

It's like an improv name. Yeah. Yeah. Jason, for Thanksgiving, have you ever had Scrapple back home when you would be back home? Good question. No, because maybe in, well, stuffing, it's usually sausage, but I don't think I've ever Scrapple. Sausage in your stuffing? Yeah. Yeah, that's done. I've heard of that. Bacon? it's usually sausage. But I don't think ever straffled. Sausage in your stuffing?

Yeah, that's done. I've heard of that. Bacon? That's not how. Yeah, I've heard of that. I mean, not in my family, but I've heard of putting sausage in stuffing. You've heard tell of it. Yes.

I feel like we just would have stovetop that would have maybe a little gravy. Yeah, we were so basic when it comes to cooking. Which you know, you've been there. I have been there, yes. Oh, right. Because we are one another's loves. We are one another's loves

and don't forget it to the listeners. So anyway, yes, you'll be wearing that. We'll take a photo and we'll post it to the socials and that will inspire.

And then I'm going to steal it. Even if 10% of the listeners send you a Scrapple hat, that's a lot of hats. That's the listeners send you a Scrapple hat, that's a lot of hats. That's a lot of Scrapple hats. That's a lot of hats. Could you explain Scrapple in a little more detail for Ashley and I? Because I'm from Reno and then San Diego and Ashley is from the Great Pacific Northwest. Scrapple is like a loaf.

It is a loaf of processed meat. That's not what I was expecting. So it's like a loaf It is a loaf of processed Oh that's not what I was expecting So it's like a spam type creation Kind of yeah So you slice it And then you put it in a frying pan And the edges become crispy

And the inside is like softer And it's very salty Obviously You go to an east coast diner and you choose bacon sausage, Scrapple, Italian sausage, sometimes sweet and hot, pork roll. Pork roll, that's what I've had. Pork roll. In New Jersey, I had it. You've been gifted Scrapple at a live show by listeners, too.

I believe I was also gifted Pork Roll Pork Roll yeah so people are whipping meat at him and clothing with meat on it wow

so yes so a king so yeah we'll see by this time next Thanksgiving I hope

you have every like article of clothing on your body with a picture of Scrapple on it like maybe like a workout pants with of scrapple on it like maybe like a workout pants with scrapple on the butt or something yeah yeah instead of juicy it

says crispy yes yeah i wanted to say crispy on jason's butt yeah thank you again to joseph borkowski i think i've said your name every possible way and i apologize the print is very small and i will be calling you bro because he's a bro for sending jason that hat but okay on to the business at hand the thanksgiving business uh friends giving business yes so the term friendsgiving Is a newish term I feel like Last decade Two decades

Two decades I'd say Okay fine That's why I didn't check So why would I That's fine You threw it out there I did throw it out there That's pretty solid though

I was just picking one And a recent A recent episode Where we talked about The Warner Brothers lot Has started a relationship With the Warner Brothers lot And Podcast The Ride, which is very nice. Oh, my gosh.

Amazing. We got invited. They were all very nice there. Yeah. Everyone. So they made us aware that there's something in Warner Brothers lot called Friendsgiving that is based on Thanksgiving and the TV show Friends. Yeah, because Friends is very known for its uh banner thanksgiving episodes okay so that was a question because i don't i've seen maybe one episode of friends thank you 25 years

ago it was not my show they were young and attractive people uh in their 20s and whatever 30s and they were like dating i wanted none of of that. Not interested, I said. It is so fascinating to me how the two years that I have on you made a world of difference in terms of how we interact with pop culture. Because for me, that was the aspiration. No, but I think you're thinking of it in terms of like,

oh, in a couple of years, then I would be somebody who wanted to watch Friends and enjoy their lives. False, I think. That is true. You just want to be a little boy forever, then I would be somebody who wanted to watch Friends and enjoy their lives. False. That is true. You just want to be a little boy forever. I wanted to be a little boy forever.

And that's really what it's about. Like, I liked Seinfeld because they were sillier ideas and bigger comedic ideas and sillier performances. Whereas I fantasized about being a 29-year-old psychologist with my own apartment. And I would just, like, visualize my apartment. Like, Jerry would have a different girlfriend every episode I didn't care about that that was not on my radar I was much more into like oh wouldn't it be

if I could be as funny as like Jerry and George talking or Kramer what if Kramer was my friend yeah yes that's really what I care but I did not any of the adult stuff no I wanted to be one of the adult stuff, no. I wanted to be one of the Friends characters.

Right. Wow. No, I wanted to be a little boy, but as funny as Jason Alexander. That was my feeling. So I never watched Friends. I was not into it. Jason, you agree with this?

Or you were a Friends boy? No, I wasn't. I was just a normal American adolescent who loved Frasier and just and just shoot me

Ed Seinfeld okay but not friends well I too cosmopolitan for you well I just I remember

like some adult well your issue is that they were too youthful and your issue is that they were too adult I was the one

going like, more Elliot Gould, add him to the friends. That's it, exactly. Add him to the regular cast. And there are a lot of episodes with Elliot Gould. There are a lot. Not enough for me. Not fair, yeah.

I, at some point in syndication, started watching it more, and I remember my freshman year in college turning in like a term paper that i had like pulled an all-nighter on and i had like dropped it off and i was walking back to my dorm and i'm like oh serious family of friends is on today i guess so i was just so brain dead and i was like i guess i'll go watch some of that. Must see TV. I got caught up at the very end, which is not that different from my Seinfeld fandom.

But I mean, the very end of Seinfeld, I think I was about 12. Yeah. But have you seen all the friends or you're just saying you watched the end of it? I have caught bits and pieces here and there. I know about the Vegas arc. the by the way the very end of seinfeld was 1999 whoa that's a 99 98 or i guess i would have been 14 so you were a little a little 12 i would um uh uh yeah so i has green days uh the the you know the graduation-y song time of your life yeah thank you good riddance i knew it had a different okay so it that was used in the finale you like played that showing

like scenes from the tapings of seinfeld well it had to have been the green days so i'm not i don't know i'm not a theme park expert but you bring up that was really the welcome to podcast oh my god in general we are really so I'm not I don't know I'm not a theme park expert but you bring up television

yeah I'm gonna have a lot to say nobody binges like nobody binges like Lindsay Cate that's true yeah

I'm not joking amazing now first off you were both right it's called Gooderan's parentheses time of your life

yes and also that montage was in the clip show that preceded the finale. I just knew it was played the night of the finale. I had a very specific

memory of that. Deadpool and Wolverine. Sure is. They're eulogizing the Fox era of Marvel. I think it's sincere, I don't think it's played as a joke um um ashley you're 90s tv watching oh yeah what was it like it was so what happened it didn't you know it's okay i was watching 98 is one sign i'll just say that go ahead ashley like i love i knew of friends but i think think, similar to me, I was watching the black shows. Sure, sure.

I was watching Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Living Single, which we had a good chat about that on the- Yeah, that came up on the tour. That came up on the tour. That came up on the tour. Girlfriends was a big one, which was very similar, you know, also about friends living life, trying to make it, you know, in the world. So those were like my shows,

but I definitely, I mean, I knew Friends and I loved Jennifer Aniston's haircut. And I, you know... Sure, the Rachel. The Rachel, yes. Of course. Exactly, yeah. And I knew all haircut and i you know the rachel yes exactly yeah uh and i knew all the characters you know and i just wasn't like uh you know what i didn't watch i didn't sit down

and you know seek out i have to watch friends were you more of like watching like being like oh this will be my like who shows like oh i'm gonna be a young adult soon yeah that's fun or were you more like me i'm like i want to be pinocchio i'm wishing to be pinocchio oh no i wanted the life i was like i wanted single was according to our tour guide the inspiration for friends yeah oh was it which i had heard that before i completely forgot about it yeah yeah so ashley say was saying she was watching that so she was watching the original friends the proto friends the prototype yeah wow okay i know right sure um so they did warner brothers has done like these different events over the years we've we've talked about they did a horror nights thing a couple years ago which we bring up all the time because we didn't do it and i'm so upset like there was an arkham asylum maze oh yeah yeah and there were a couple other different

things they did in the lot but they're like i feel like they're experimenting on the lot which i like yeah yeah i like we were talking about that how it's nice that they're like injecting like more events into the yeah tour because i did they invited me to batman this batman thing i went to a couple like a month or two very fun and we did stop by that exhibit yeah cool yes the exhibit's really cool. They got all the costumes. I think they have the Robin costume he was murdered in in the Zack Snyder movie.

Oh, wow. A little dark. He's not in, like, you never see him, but I think it's in Batman vs. Superman. You just see Robin's costume and he's like Joker. Spray painted something on it. So it's really uh but then you see the batmobiles uh and that event we had like a batman screening of the first movie

in their big like uh movie theater yeah so there's a lot of cool stuff there and and just it's nice if there wasn't an if there wasn't enough theme park stuff near us already, more, please. Yeah. More themed experiences. More themed experiences. This is Hollywood. This is why people come here. Yes. Like, we want entertainment, good entertainment, you know? And also things, like, around the business of entertainment.

Yeah. Like, people come here to look at the Hollywood, you know, the stars on the Walk of Fame and all of that. So, it's like, do more around, like, celebrate the studios stars on the Walk of Fame and all of that. So it's like do more around celebrate the studios, celebrate the history for tourists to check out and stuff. Yes. I was saying like more studio tours.

So yeah. I agree. Bring back the feud Betty versus Joan maze. Yes. You would live in there if that was still there. I would live in there. That's the one Mays. Oh, what,

oh, I'm gonna get the name wrong. This is horrible. Whatever Happened to Baby Jane is a very creepy movie. What would you, would you want like a Sunset Boulevard Mays? Like what would be your ultimate like scary Mays?

What old movie? What old Hitchcock? And honestly, as I say, it's a good idea to do something like this. Like an old movie maze. Yeah, yeah. It's not like synergistic in the way they like. The Laura maze. Yeah, yeah.

Marnie or something. The ghost and Mrs. Muir maze. Rebecca. Yeah. Claude Rains. Like a 20-something playing playing claude rains in a maze oh that'd be great yeah your guy claude uh i have a claude figure because he was the invisible man oh that's yeah of course yeah hell yeah

um i would love a sunset boulevard maze you, there's a revival of the musical on Broadway right now. I don't know that. I did know that. And it was in the news recently. Well, one, because they do a thing that I'm not crazy about in musicals, where they follow an actor with a camera in the lobby or outside the theater. Oh, right. Which is confusing for Sunset Boulevard. Don't care for it.

Because it takes place in Hollywood, but you're clearly in Times Square walking around. So, yeah, that's confusing. Yeah. The Nicole Scherzinger? Is that right? Yeah. From the Poetic Aptiles is Norma Desmond

in this production. Oh, that's the one she's in. I know all the stuff going on with her, but I didn't know it was a musical. And she was talking about like a trope that... Yeah, yeah. We don't have to go

too far into it, but she... Oh, dear. She's a trope. She's a magga, apparently. I did see that. Yeah. I just saw something

about that today. I know all of that, but I didn't know that there was Sunset Boulevard. And that's where all of our respective interests diverge.

Yes. You know about all of the pop culture. I know what Nicole Scherzinger is doing at all times. Yeah, whereas I knew there was a Sunset Boulevard. She's supposed to be good in it too, right? Wow. She is in it and Patty LuPone was going to see her in it. Oh, and there's a whole thing.

Right around the time of that hat comment, everyone's like, did she post about this hat? Because she got a frosty reception from Patti LuPone. That's become a meme recently where people are posting photos of people wearing funny hats and then having her comment under it saying, where did you get that hat? And I think today we've got an opportunity. Oh, man. To make our Photoshop Nicole's comment under a picture of Jason wearing the Scrapple hat.

That's what we're doing today. That's what I saw online. I saw all those memes and I had no idea what it was in reference to. And I've seen nothing about any of this yeah i just saw something something maga she came out covered like in the first performance she came out to like greet the fans covered in blood still that was what people were saying like she came out on the street and she was covered in blood not you know fake blood or whatever right okay interesting okay now i understand that uh but honestly a classic movie like horror nights would rule that is actually a really good now that i say that out loud like

that's such a fun idea yeah because there's plenty to pull from they've always uh the last few years they've done the universal monsters mazes and they kind of change it up every year it always seems to be a big hit yeah so why not yeah why not branch out a little go beyond well the monsters are at least they're always trying to monetize the monsters in different ways right so that's the you know yeah that's i mean i understand why i just think that they should well i agree with you um but yeah warner brothers lot's doing like fun stuff and they are doing an event i think it lasts till thanksgiving-ish time or whatever this month called Friendsgiving. Friends X Thanksgiving finally happening.

And we sent both of you to do this. We didn't actually talk about how much I know Friends because I only recently binged the entire series. Up until just like last month, I had only seen seasons one through four. And I love seasons one through four. I still love seasons one through four, i love seasons one through four i still love seasons one through four but i have seen the other seasons and i don't love the other season you got through all seasons and i swear to god two weeks yeah two or three wow it's on because i'm watching while i'm cooking i'm watching while i'm breastfeeding i'm watching okay like whenever, like, doing something else.

Sure. Yeah, she's saying it nonchalantly, but I've never seen anything like it. I've never seen someone binge like this. And she's binging in whole new ways. Like, it feels like she goes, she's always liked to binge, and that's always been sort of a disagreement where I'm like, I like to watch one a week. Yeah, that's how I am. I'm not a binger.

Maybe two. a disagreement where i'm like i like to watch one a week yeah that's i am i'm not a binger maybe two but it almost feels like um like you know in gravity if you go close to a black hole time time changes sure sure and somebody ages faster it almost feels like she goes towards a black hole and watch the whole show i'm able to binge faster emerges from the kitchen actual time she emerges from the kitchen 10 years older and she's seen all her friends yeah the entirety of something yeah yeah and you're able to hold that information is what's fascinating to me very quickly so i remember nothing about the show but she watched it all much about it like i've i've seen the good wife in its entirety multiple times i could not tell you more than five specific episodes of the show it disappears but

friends i remember because i watched it when i was young my problem is new memories being forged so i remember the first like four seasons or so of friends really really well and then i couldn't tell you what happened in all the ones i only just saw right i can tell you some of them but i also i have a lot to say about the show. Yes. And I know some trivia. Ooh. Oh, okay.

Well, I can ask you the trivia. Oh, you're going to say the trivia. No, no, no. I'm not going to just You learn trivia on the thing as well to some degree. Yeah, because I watched some of the behind scenes.

We were supposed to have trivia on the thing. Oh, okay. Maybe we'll get to that. Yeah, we can talk about. Yeah, yeah. But I will just say my opinion on friends is the reason

the seasons one through four are very good is because it's more like a nora efron sitcom and then uh five on it just like turns into like the goofiest broadest sitcom you could think of and i don't enjoy that as much the characters become very cartoonish yeah the fat jokes are coming fast and furious uh they they introduce uh a diverse cast of actors only to always have them be either getting the short end of the stick or like broken up with or i mean that's like kind of standard because like any relationship on the show is gonna to be a source of comedy. But I felt like the black characters that they did have on the show or just non-white characters they had on the show always kind of got screwed over a little bit.

And so that's a critique I have. How do they treat Elliot Gould, though? Fantastic. Elliot Gould is highly respected a very beloved character sure got it Jason can take a sigh of relief breathe easy and then I always wanted Monica to end up with Tom

Selleck's character Richard and the fact that she ends up with Chandler is still upsetting to me because you want Tom Selleck? No that's Courtney Cox's character and Tom Selleck's character she was dating somebody like 30 years older than her and they were great together it was like a really believable couple and and they're only together for like two-thirds of a season but i still am like she

should have married richard and that inspired your uh two-year age yeah because mike wants to be a little boy forever and i've been an old woman since i was 10 yeah i love it my two my two modes both little boy and old man yeah that's a brief overview of my thoughts on the show which is that i am i am both a fan and not a fan okay got it at the same time um trodinger's friends fan right so this was a perfect so when i got this email i was like i know who to send this to i know because i just finished binging perfect um so yeah binge it's like every it's like every um uh the batman thing too like it's almost kind of they build these things into the normal studio tour which is kind of like the universal training tour where you get

on the tram and they drive around the lot. But then they point out different facts and stuff that are specific to whatever the movie or TV show your event is based on. Like they were showing me like where the Riddler in Batman Forever like drops, where Jim Carrey drops like invitation off of Wayne Manor. And we didn't get any of that. Yeah. Oh, well, I got like he was like, this is where Jim Carrey put the invitation on the gate at Wayne Manor.

And I had like chills ran. Oh, my God. And then the courthouse from the 60s Batman is there. And they were like, say, want to take a picture? And then like I was like, I don't want to be the guy who puts his hand up first, but somebody else, somebody else. Well, are you sure? Nobody wants to? No.

And then finally somebody in front of me put their hand up and I go, yeah, I'll do it too. So I have an awkward picture in front of that. And then what was weird is that we got off the tram and then their friend's couch, which I'm sure you've seen the fountain they have there. Everybody wanted to take a picture with the friend's fountain and the couch and i it took all my energy not to yell at everybody and go what's wrong with you this is batman day this is not friends day that that does strike me as strange because it was a batman event it's a batman event and it's not even a real thing at all right it's not the real friends right and they moved the fountain so it's like why are you at batman day getting more excited about the best batmans and nobody was paying omar and they were not honoring that holy place where adam west ran up to talk to commissioner gordon so and then

everybody we waited so long for everybody to take their stupid friends picture oh god i bet and i was just like i was like I can't believe this. And I bet if it was like, I bet if it was a Heath Ledger Dark Knight, Dark Knight situation where it was like something from there that's more recent in people's memories and that's their favorite Batman,

fine, but. Because there is a definite flavor of basic Batman fan that is only a fan of the, the like Christopher Nolan Batman. Yeah, you know what I call them? Fake fans. Fake, fake fans.

And as we've established recently, you don't like fake friends, you don't like fake fans. I don't like users. You don't like users. I've been using the term users a lot. I've been using the term users. Look, we all have users in our lives. You know.

People who take advantage So I was like oh man Friends is so popular And then when I saw they were doing this I was like oh yeah that makes sense Friends is I guess still ultra popular It's one of those shows that Because like a new generation is discovered You watch nine seasons of it It's like The Office now

I'm surprised there's not an Office thing like this already. There should be. That'd be fun. That would be something. Does Universal not do show or IP-specific tour? Well, they're... Because that would be... Not really.

Not a tour. They're doing this like fandom nights. Yes. Coming up. Yes. But they're not covering The Office just yet. Yes. Coming up. Yes. But they're not covering The Office just yet. They didn't say they are. They're doing Star Trek and Back to the Future.

Star Trek's not theirs either. But honestly, we've talked about it before. In Office, something would make a lot of sense for them because of how much people love Office. A show I have never seen. The American Office? The UK Office. I've never watched The American Office. Wow office wow okay it just feels like it's not for me i think i've only watched clips so you're not alone and that's okay yeah something

you might learn about me is that i don't get references because i don't watch a lot of things it was like when we were working on this show, though, you certainly got enough references where it didn't feel like, oh, so it's not like Ashley's thing is like Ashley doesn't know anything about pop culture. So it feels like, you know, I about pop culture. I do know a lot, I should say. But in general, like in a broader, you know, understanding of it. Sure. Yeah. Yeah.

The main stuff I get. Is there a show you're watching now where you're Sure, yeah. Yeah, the main stuff I get. Is there a show you're watching now where you're like, this would be a good event? It could be a good... Watching currently? Sure, yeah.

No, I'm not watching. What are you watching right now? I watch pro wrestling. That's mostly what I watch at this point. Yeah, that's the only thing you watch consistently. And I'm behind, too.

Yeah, yeah. It's okay. Well, I was going to say Twin Pe consistently. And I'm behind, too. Yeah, yeah. It's okay. Well, I was going to say Twin Peaks would be a fun one to do. Oh, now that's another great idea for a Twin Peaks thing. I don't know why that popped in my head when we were talking about what would be a fun maze to do. I feel like that would be something I would be interested in. Twin Peaks immersive on a lot. Oh, my gosh.

I got the Blu-rays for uh my birthday and i had to crack it open because i was trying to do it are you a little scared i've seen the first season it is a little scary there's a scene there's a scene in maulholland drive that it's probably the most i've ever been scared in a movie because it's so startling. Which scene? The diner. They go behind the diner and like a scary man just kind of slides out from behind the diner. And I saw it like 15 or 16 and I had to like leave the room and calm down. Were you upset because you think the diner is such a holy sacred place turn my beloved into a place of horror and now you can't go into a johnny rockets ever again i can't no someone might be behind the building yeah it startled me right uh no i i was excited

i was like oh i can uh blank check isank Jacket's doing the David Lynch series. I can follow along. I'm already very behind. David Lynch, so you know how Last Culture East does, they ask the question, like, when did you realize culture was for you? David Lynch is one of those things

where it's like, I go, that culture is not for me. I don't get it. I don't get the David Lynch. But I'm such an offbeat, a lover of offbeat things. You would think I'd love him. It's just I don't

it's not for me. It's a little twisted offbeat. When I viewed Twin Peaks as more of a comedy than a drama I enjoyed it more that way. But I just don't. Yeah.

There's something I don't get about it and don't love. Preventing you. Something's preventing you from binging. It's keeping me at arm's length. Right. Yeah. I tried to, early, early pandemic, I was like, oh, we should find a show, Jane.

We should find a show to watch. And we watched the pilot of Twin Peaks. And I think she was just like like this is very campy and i'm like well no it's it's not it's moody but yeah but i was like so i was like oh maybe we need something lighter so that's when we jump to the very twin peaks inspired riverdale which i have seen i think all but the last one or two seasons that is another show I have never watched that is a good one to put on

while you are doing other stuff that can't be like two right that is really it's too shiny for me I wouldn't be into it I will have somehow finished this show by the time we get home oh very good you won't know it's a magic trick

loves riverdale the the the right like the other show you alex and maddie yeah the other cartoon i've well i've only worked on a few shows um but yeah my first job infinity train i'm so sorry you're so right i they mean nothing to me thank you i'm just kidding you guys i love you no no i'm shocked that jason likes riverdale because to me. Thank you. I'm just kidding. You guys, I love you. No, no. I'm shocked that Jason likes Riverdale because to me it feels so sacrilegious to the original Archie comics. Archie comics are so wholesome and 50s and Americana. There are so many actual horror Archies. Well, now there is, yes.

Now they've expanded it out. It's so far removed. Yeah, you don't even think of it at the same thing. Who's that person do post all the weird christian archies of the like 70s and 80s there's so many like weird christian on twitter on twitter yeah somebody posts a bunch of christian archie panels that's weird because there's so many other archies where i was like this is the most heavy-handed double entendre that I've ever seen. Archie's very horny too. That's true.

This is like a pure phase or a Puritan phase. Yes. There's a yes. There's a I don't even know. I mean I read them. That was as comfortable as I was with being an adult was seeing 16 and 17 year olds in a comic strip

like date. That was the most romance you could handle was like archie veronica and betty and then cheryl blossom once in a while right yeah when she got thrown into the mix she had red hair and then betty and veronica would like team up against her wow because they had been fighting over archie for 50 years and now a new 17 year old came into play. Were you not threatened by Midge? Midge? No, I liked Midge. Midge was always around, but Midge was

never vying for Archie's affection. No, she was pretty locked down with Moose. Yeah. Well, it's not Mike wasn't saying he was threatened by Cheryl Blossom. He was saying Betty and Verona were thrown by Cheryl Blossom. That was none of my business. What they were up to.

I was there for Jughead's antics. You wanted Archie to make a decision and not string these women along. Settle down. Put a ring on one. Yes. So let's talk. I guess we should talk about Friendsgiving.

Yeah, so Friendsgiving, we've derailed again. Scott is screaming somewhere. So, yeah, so it starts out basically very similar to the Warner Brothers studio tour, the traditional tour where you go to, like, the entrance for the studio. Okay, sorry, go ahead. You talk. Let us set the scene. All right, go ahead, yes.

Let us set the scene. We receive our tickets from you. The tickets say on them them departure window 10 30 to 11 yes makes sense to me that i can get there at 10 30 and we'll leave by 11 yes it begins at 11 they left at 10 30 so ashley and i when i got there at 10 50 45 10 45 10 50 or so yeah um so luckily it seems the bulk of what we missed was the safety message and the cool movie in the beginning where they take you into that little screening room and you watch a little movie so we didn't get any of that so i couldn't tell you about the usual start of the tour and then

the other issue we ran into is this was the first day they were doing friendsgiving so we we want to cut our tour guide some slack because he was very nice and he shared a lot of trivia what he forgot to do was a friend's trivia game at the start of the tour where they gave away buttons that said friends 30th anniversary so we never i never got to show off all the friends trivia i know so we didn't get actually the bulk of the friends trivia tour section so we basically just got a wb tour with maybe a few more friends facts thrown in but it felt like things that they would that they typically share anyway because it seemed yeah what we were talking about is it's like whichever tour you get it depends on because there's so much trivia to share there's so many things that have filmed on the lot

that you're gonna get the a different tour depending on the interests of your tour guide so like our tour guide was a dancer so he shared yeah that there was an lmfao uh video shot on the street that he was in yeah what yeah it was the it was their most famous song he played one of the zombie dancers yeah just real quick, Jason No, come on A couple months ago, Jason said That one of the members of MFAO had died I swore he had died I thought the uncle had died He insisted that that was right

I was very wrong And I said, were you thinking of LFO? No Because two members of LFO have died But no you said no And we still have not gotten to the bottom of why you thought that I have no idea People have thrown theories out online

There were some other musicians He denied it I was throwing them off the hook Because the letters were similar So we still have not gotten to the bottom Of what you were thinking of. No. Yeah.

But listeners have very generously thrown out different theories that you've all shot. You've shot them all down. I swore I read a news story about it. And I either went, oh, no, the uncle or oh, no, the nephew. Is that what they're called? Oh, right. No, they're uncle and nep right no they're actual family members i know nothing about them yeah anyway so uh uh that's funny that he was in the actual music video

yeah he was one of the party rockers uh but so we didn't even get the the most friends heavy part of the tour which was the trivia game at the start but apparently one of the other tour guides like she didn't remember till the last minute so like people were thrown off their game because it was the first day of leading the friends giving right yes so sadly we cannot comment on what the trivia game got it got it i really thought you were gonna say they forgot the thanksgiving meal that really we spent the most to say they forgot the Thanksgiving meal. That really made me ashamed. We spent the most time probably at the meal part. And we were the last ones to get up and eat.

We didn't realize. We were just sitting there talking about Wicked because you were going to see this greeting that night. And then I looked around and I went, we're the only ones here and of course I'm such a slow eater that it was largely my fault because I was still picking away at the food on my plate which was very good the food was fantastic gotta give it to them

yeah we had ham we had all of your Thanksgiving hits and ham, turkey mac and cheese we had biscuit thingies and all of the food had very like friends specific names for them do you have a picture of what they were to all of the food was a reference to a thanksgiving food that they cooked on the show so like that's really good a big big one this was not at the thanksgiving meal actually but it was in the central perk cafe that they have set up um was rachel's uh trifle dessert

because in one of the thanksgiving episodes two of the pages of monica's cookbook stuck together and so she included a meat layer in her trifle and they're also desperate to uh make it to the end of the meal because they see no i just watched it now i can't remember the reason for them wanting to make it to the end of the meal but so they're just like eating this meat layer in this very funny british dessert right uh so they did make that. Yeah, but meatless. I guess so, yeah. Right, right, right. So that they have available to purchase in the Central Perk Cafe, but they had like a soy something thing.

Soy riso. I should have taken pictures of all these things, but I think they listed it somewhere. I actually got a video of some things. I got lots of videos. I intend to make a fun reel of our experience um but we've got rachel's buttery biscuits and that's from the show that's from the show so everything is an actual reference to um something made for a thanksgiving episode okay we'd love to see it yeah we've got phoebe's-oh. It's like green onions with like garlic, almond, and cherry tomatoes.

Sauteed garlic and toasted almond green beans. That might not actually be from the show. We've got Ross's lumpy mashed potatoes. That is from the show. So that's an episode where he makes lumpy mashed potatoes. That's from the first Thanksgiving episode, hence me being able to remember it. Their first Thanksgiving, none of them want to be at a friendsgiving they all want to be doing their usual thanksgiving activities with their families

okay none of them can make it for one reason or another did friendsgiving start because of the show friends now i'm wondering the name of it maybe i mean certainly people have been having thanksgiving meals with their friends but it's possible that's why it's called friendsgiving but i don't think i don't know that it was ever like marketed heavily instead of friendsgiving episode it was just that like it got to be a tradition they didn't really do like a big christmas episode even though they would do episodes around christmas but it was their thanksgiving episodes that they were that the show like really hammered home and their thanksgivings episodes are some of the best episodes of friends like um and so like in the ross's lumpy mashed potatoes monica is a professional

chef and so obviously she can make a good batch of mashed potatoes but he insists that they include lumps because that's how their mom makes them so that's why Ross is lumpy mashed potatoes. So to review were the mashed potatoes lumpy? Or were they like do you think they effectively recreated that? Because they were still trying to make a

good dish. So they weren't super lumpy they were really good mashed potatoes. Okay I like hearing that you enjoyed them but I don't like that they didn't commit lumpy. They were really good mashed potatoes. They were really, really good. Okay, I like hearing that you enjoyed them, but I don't like that they didn't commit fully. Yeah, so there was no meat in the trifle. And again, the trifle was just at the cafe. It wasn't at the Friendsgiving buffet.

They had a pretty mediocre pumpkin pie. It wasn't that outstanding. I liked the pumpkin pie, but I'm a pumpkin pie person. It was fine. There was nothing crazy about it. It just wasn't that outstanding i liked the pumpkin pie but i'm a pumpkin pie person it was fine there was nothing crazy about it just wasn't like what did they call it you're very specific in your take lindsey's very specific in what she sometimes she'll say like oh i don't like this and i will be like i don't know it seems fine to me yeah i don't i hate to be such a man a dumb husband who's like i don't know I think it's okay it could be my failing sense of smell

so like maybe I just like wasn't tasting it as fully as other people were but it didn't it wasn't that flavorful to me

where it was like the cheesy the buttery cheesy buttery biscuits were amazing really really yummy is that from an episode mac and cheese

I think Rachel did make like buttery biscuits I think that is a I think Rachel did make like buttery biscuits. I think that is a reference. Yeah. But maybe it was a later episode. Or a later season. How does it sound? I mean, it's making me very hungry.

And then I look to the side and there's a beautiful step leg in cheese. Should we be micing your stomach during this episode to see if any gurgling is happening i feel like i didn't do a very good job prepping for this episode because i should have taken down what all the names were of their oh yeah she's got them okay yeah we do have every single one oh great okay um we got ross's lumpy mashed potatoes i said that we got tribiani how you doing mac and cheese okay so that's invented that's that's his catchphrase but it's not right in a thanksgiving i How you doing mac and cheese? Okay. Joey, Matt LeBlanc. So that's invented. Well, that's his catchphrase, but it's not in a Thanksgiving episode.

Joey is too much of a fool to commit the time and energy of making a dish. Yeah, Monica's making most of the dish. Right, right. But you got to get each character having their own meal. So we got Grandma Geller's homemade soyrio stuffing.

Okay. Okay. That one's interesting to me because you would think it would be Phoebe the vegetarian making the soy riso dish. Right. Sure. I would think that. Yes.

I would think that. We got Joey's sweet candy yams. So two Joey dishes. Interesting. Interesting. And I don't think he makes yams for a Thanksgiving. Okay. Okay.

Hold on. We got. Does he say gams in the show? Like talking about ladies legs? Seems like he would do that, right? He is the ladies man, but he never calls them gams. That would be, he wouldn't know what that word means. He's an idiot.

I didn't play Joey. Yeah. Jason. If I was him him I probably would have If Jason was doing His Joey interpretation When Jason's ranking People's looks

He often talks about gams Yeah That's a big part Of the factoring in Yeah This is Is there any What was that

Is there any last one The ham The ham is We Well this is We were on a break. Cranberry sauce. Right. Chandler's honey Dijon glazed country ham.

Okay. Not Chandler. Chandler's famous. He hates Thanksgiving because that's when his parents told him they were getting a divorce. Oh, my gosh. Got it. So interesting. So were there any so interesting so were there any side characters were there any side characters brad pitt was in a thanksgiving episode he was a guest star on the

episode as a guy who went to high school with monica ross and rachel and hated rachel he and ross were in the i hate rachel green club oh okay but and the story is that he was chubby in high school and Rachel ignored him and now he lost all the weight in his red pit. Oh, I love that. His 90s red pit. He and Jennifer Aniston

were an item at the time. An item. 90s red pit is a 10. Don't you think, Jason? I mean, I suppose so. Yeah. 10 plus? Prime.

Well, 10 plus once you get to Fight Club. I mean, he's got those crazy abs and crazy apps it would have been around that time yeah yeah probably around probably was around that time um did you have an opportunity to go to the the fountain and the chair and the couch you have a photo from that we do that feels Because that feels like the thing. Because like, it's difficult. Like with Batman, there's so many different Batmans.

Like Friends was shot on a soundstage, one set. Yeah. But they have the, from the opening. And we did go in the Friends soundstage. Oh, you did? Named for the,

named for the, in the Central Perk Cafe. And gift shop. Because they recreated the Central Perk set, and now it's there permanently. And so we got our photos taken there. okay um do you feel like they one of the horror nights mazes at universal was was um i forget which i always forget what it was uh they were using one of the sound stages that the original uh universal monsters use one of the original movies and i'm like it feels kind of like oh cool it's like haunted or whatever. Yeah. Going on sound changes is so funny

because you're like, oh my God, this is where Friends was and then you're like, that's an empty building. It's an entirely different thing. They just shot a different, a new show,

a new show here. It's been announced. Yeah, it's some show called Leanne. Yeah. Who's on Leanne? Jason, are you up on this?

I'll tell you who, a comedian named Leanne. Really? It's a Chuck Lorre show, I believe. Yeah, it's called Leanne for this comedian. Oh my God, I don't know anything about Leanne. She's like the Tennessee grandmama or something like that. I turned to Ashley and I was like, I bet this comedian is like Southern and white because

I can tell by the set because this is like a rich She was right. She Googled it right then. Wow. Okay. Yeah, Leanne, but I can't remember her last name. They have only shot the pilot. Yeah.

Are you sure you're not breaking news here? It's possible. Chuck Lorre is going to sue Podcast to Ride? No, she looked it up. I wouldn't even know who this woman was if I hadn't found it on Google. Chuck Lorre will come to Forever Dog himself and choke me out if we are spoiling something about one of his shows. I will say, I may be giving it away that it is called Leanne. Really?

Because online it is just, I think, the untitled blah, blah, blah. Or comedian Leanne so-and-so shooting a sitcom with Chuck Lorre. We don't know. It might not be called Leanne. Chuck Lorre comes in here. It could be a nickname. No, it's definitely called Leanne. I'm not giving myself the title.

It's on all of the little car stoppers at parking lots, parking spots and stuff. Jason, if you could bring in one of those leather saps that though like or like an english kind of like hooligan would would have in the 1930s okay thing to hit a guy in the back of the head because chuck lorry is going to come in here and try to kill me for this oh so you want me to hide in the corner and like sucker punch him i don't think i've given anything away but we were told we're not allowed to take pictures. Okay. So I won't describe.

What if he just posted a bunch of photos? If they're telling you that on the studio tour, I'm assuming it's... There's a couch. There's a fridge. There's a kitchen. There's a kitchen. I was doing this Batman tour, and there was all these Teslas parked there, and somebody asked about them, and somebody was like, I don't know what you're talking about.

And then a few weeks later, the big Tesla unveiling happened at Warner Brothers Live. Whoa. But I saw the guy be like, oh, oh yeah i can't tell you and honestly i was like i don't know what he's talking like of course that makes sense there was some tesla thing but i almost thought it was something else i didn't i didn't put two and two together at the time oh i actually do know who this comedian is right now i may have given something away it says untitled leanne morgan project on imdb well you could have given away the working It says untitled Leanne Morgan project on IMDb. Well, you could have given away the working title.

We should just post it. That's what Ashley was saying. I think it's the working title. But a grandmother's life is upended when her husband leaves her after 33 years of marriage. She navigates this new chapter with the help of her family, grace, dignity, and jello salad.

Wow. This is going to go for 15 years. I've seen this woman. 10 seasons and beyond. i've seen this woman i've seen this woman's stand-up before i'm realizing yeah this character seems like she should take a trip aboard the luxury cruise ship the odyssey wow um wow so you did get to go that is cool because you get to go on the sound stage but yeah they don't have it fully recreated. There's a little version of it on the tour, which is cool. Yes.

But then that's, yeah, that's the same area where you can do. Which I don't even think because I went on the tour. What did we figure out? 2016 was the last time I did the Warner Brothers tour. And it's one of my favorites, but it had been a while. But I visited that and you were able to walk around and interact with things. And you're not able to do that anymore so that was kind of a bummer had a bunch of pictures over at the counter of central perth now you wait in a line there's a rope they let you in there's a professional photographer you have to buy your photos from them if you want them but they do

take photos of you with your own phone as well. And previous podcast, The Riot episode about Warner Brothers, Lamar Woods, who was on the episode, is the one who set all of that up. Okay. He worked for the company. Oh, he made it so you can't wander around? Well, I don't know that he. Lamar. I don't know that he made what you're talking about.

How dare you? That might have been after the fact, because I think he quickly had to leave the job. But he's the one. His team set up the whole new version of the photo what experience there he hired people he okay amazing they had a really stressful stress test it was very professional very streamlined yeah yeah so i will i compliment him on that but i didn't get as full of his yeah they did actually got back in 2016 that might not

lamar might have nothing to do with that i'm sure he doesn't they specifically hired him to make it okay stern text lindsey would like to wander yeah but yeah if you if you listeners have not heard that go back and it's a fascinating he had to go to orlando she worked at central park yeah i mean it was very fun yeah he yeah he had to go to orlando and train what he got he worked at madame tussauds yeah yes and then they like the company behind the photo technology then wanted like approached him to open up the new photo experience at the Worm Brothers lot. That is so funny. And then he went to Orlando or the area, like Florida area.

He's like a professional Q guy now. Kind of, yeah. Amazing. But then he opened that up and there was a whole, he tells a story, of course, better. He opened it up and then immediately got staffed. Yes, he immediately got like a TV job. Wow. It seemed like a stressful couple days when it opened initially.

So, yeah. I love that. It was running very smoothly when we were there. So, excellent work, Lamar, even though it wasn't as fun. Yeah, it's cool because they had like cameras set up, like multi-cam. So, while you're in line, you feel like, or you can look at how it looks on the set. Oh, that's cool. When you start taking your pictures.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's kind of fun to see. I saw, I don't know if I've talked about this before, but in college, I went to a couple TV tapings on the Warner Brothers lot. Because one of them, they gave the group, they like got, they booked groups,

like school groups and stuff to fill out the studio audience sometimes. And the one time, if we went and watched his taping, we could get a discounted Disneyland ticket. So, yeah, of course, I went to that taping. Yeah. The other time, I think maybe we got some discounted tickets, but we mostly got class credit for going to a taping of- To a TV taping. The New Adventures of Old Christine.

Really? That was sort of popular. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Not forced, but you got to pull from a wide range of, because you start running out of people.

It's like tourist groups, yeah. But the, oh God, what's the guy from the Marvel movie? Yeah, Clark Gregg. He was- Agent Coulson? Agent Coulson, yeah. And then another, the other day we went to was called The Class. That only lasted one season. I remember that show.

It did. Not very good at all. Yeah i was trying to be like a new friends yes writing not so great so and did you like that yeah i liked seeing how it was done i did not like seeing um uh lines done over and over and then all the alt lines you know all jokes um yeah but uh yeah i think hour three i was about ready but we had to stay like three or four hours i think to get our discounted ticket prices or get our class credit it was was like... You needed to be incentivized to do it. That one was actually also David Crane who created Friends. Yes. The class was.

Wow. And there was... Not still having the juice. Was there an actor? Lizzie Kaplan was in that. Lizzie Kaplan was the big... And John Bernthal? The Punisher? Yeah. Did he use the Punisher? Yes. Yep. Oh my gosh. Yeah, actually a bunch of people.

Great casting. Yeah. So I don't know why. It was a very good cast for us. It was the writing. It was like the jokes were nothing and the laughter sounded canned. But I'm sure that taping stage was used for like Friends or Frasier. Well, as I said many times the Warner Brothers lot you will go there

and you'll see on the wall Jason Ritter wasn't it my god Jason Ritter I mean we're talking Andrea Anders John Bernthal

Lizzie Kaplan Jesse Tyler Ferguson my god Sean McGuire Jason Ritter Lucy Punch for God's sake yeah this should have been a hit Sam, this should have been a hit.

Sam Harris. It should have been a hit. Fantastic casting created by David Cleary. Oh my God. Is that a picture from the experience? I want to hear more names from this show. I want to hear more about how Jason graduated college. I need more of how he

got his credits. We need more of it. I did on the tour. After we left the leanne set i asked did james burrows is he directing leanne and the tour guide didn't have an answer for me and i was like my question is friends related because i noticed that there was a uh like a pillar in the middle of the set breaking up the kitchen from the living room, which James Burroughs insisted there be like a pillar in the middle of the, of Monica and Rachel's apartment set, because he thought it made for a more dynamic looking stage picture.

And they got rid of it after season two. Look, he got Jimmy Burroughs. He got Jimmy Burroughs. All my camp directors of all time. Jimmy Burroughs. You got Jimmy Burroughs one of the top all-night camp directors of all time. Jimmy Burroughs is the master. Guess who directed the class?

He's still going. Jimmy Burroughs. Jimmy Burroughs. Jimmy Burroughs. I heard the anecdote. He took the Friends cast out and he said, like they went to Vegas

and he said, this is the last time you're going to be able to walk around as normal people. Their lives are going to change. This is how this guy's been in the game so long.

He knew. He knew Friends was going to blow up. He's still around. He lives are going to change. This is how this guy's been in the game so long. He knew. I love that. He knew Friends was going to blow up. He's still around. He's in his 80s. He's still doing it. I think he's in his 80s. He is great on the comeback as the director of the fake show that Lisa Kudrow's character

is starring on. We have not talked enough about Jimmy. Cheers. They call him Jimmy sometimes. We don't know him personally. Call him Jimmy. I love, if we ever do video again, I'd love Jimmy Burroughs to direct our podcast video. That would be great.

If I don't work with Jimmy Burroughs before he leaves this plane, I will be so upset. Is that true? Yeah. She's never declared that. He actually is. He's a fucking king. Let's marry him. He's a sitcom.

Yeah, I would love to work with James Burroughs. Let's find his address. Let's dox him. I would love to create a James Burroughs. Let's find his address. Let's dox him. I would love to create a good sitcom. You will. I think a good sitcom is the hardest thing to write. Sure. I think it is easy.

I think it would be easy to do it. I could do it tomorrow. If somebody would give me a chance, I could do it. I dare you to make a good sitcom. I will. Lindsay, do you mean specifically a three camera? I mean you to make a good sitcom i will do you mean specifically a three camera i mean specifically a multi-cam sitcom yeah classic like yeah classic like live studio audience sitcom i think it's the first thing to make and that's why there isn't a

it's like it hasn't been a truly great one in a while it's like step Stephen King, I believe, says that short stories are the hardest book format to write. Interesting. Very difficult. Well, maybe it was just because of how much coke he was on back then. He could have been. He literally couldn't stop himself. And that's how Jimmy Burrows is so good at directing TV. He's a big coke user.

It's a joke. I'm joking. I don't know about his cocaine use maybe not maybe jokes chuck laurie's gonna be after me and fucking jimmy pearl's gonna come in here forever dog kick the door down all of sitcom royalty you're gonna get your ass roasted one of those chuck laurie credit like cards at the end of the episode i love the ninja turtles theme i please watch the class now and our daughter our daughter lindsay and i's daughter sings the ninja turtles theme baby jesse tyler ferguson in this show no more jesse

wow what are they 20 babies yeah they're like 20 something if the show is about young people and i don't want to hear about it it just proves you gotta have longevity in this business i do remember some adult cousins at a party and like they just married and moved into a house and they specifically had a lot of friend stuff and I'm like 10 or 11 I was like this is a grown up show

I can't wait to move to a city where a lot of oversized open button ups like Joey and Chandler wear bowling shirts

didn't Chandler do a lot of bowling shirts he did a few bowling shirts i know drew carries all the art all the clothing on drew carry show was like bowling shirts but like that was generally his like style though that was a very 90s that was a smash mouth type yes dressing yeah it was very 95 96 yes 96 walking on 96, 97. I think it's 97. We went through the whole Friends gift shop area and I just couldn't have wanted to own anything less.

Yeah. We were like, what? What do they have? It's not that it's bad stuff. It's just that I'm not the kind of Friends fan where I'm like, I want merch in my house. I want an oven mitt. Yeah. That's Friends.

That's Friends. I want a shirt that says says we were on a break. Like there's nothing I'd rather own less than I can think of than a shirt that says we were on a break in the year of our Lord. Twenty twenty four. I like the logo. I feel like it's a very iconic logo. I was telling Ashley, I think I had a friend's shirt back in the day. Or it was a it was one of those parody shirts that that were popular in the mid to late 90s where it looked like the friend's logo

but said something else yeah like i had a i had a shirt that was in a fedex logo but it said fed up and i was like 15 isn't there it doesn't i feel like i've seen a picture of anne hathaway wearing that shirt maybe that does sound familiar i've seen a picture of anne hathaway i get i had like at least three logo parody shirts at this age i don't i had no fashion sense i was desperately trying to figure out what my fashion identity was so i was wearing that i was wearing my grandmother's shirts from the 70s oh my goodness or i was wearing a cardigan and khakis i was just wearing all my older sister's clothes like everything the gap like abercrombie because you had how many older sister two older siblings i had two older sisters but one that lived the oldest one is like way older but i would always steal my sister's older my uh closest in age sister but

yeah i would just i just address this i dress like we're the same like a little boy i mean i guess i'm wearing a rolling shirt, but that's not a cartoon character. But I don't know. It's about the same. So you got the photo op with the fountain. Did they explain to you that the fountain has been moved? Yes. Yes.

That was explained on the tour. It was explained. It wasn't. It was also explained that it's not a real fountain in New York. It's not based on a real fountain. It was just a fountain that was on the lot that they shot in front of. Some people think it's the fountain with the big angel that's in Central Park.

It is not that fountain. It's a tiny little fountain. We were not allowed to sit on the fountain. We took some photos of me sitting and we got a stern talk. And others followed her. You're going to get me in trouble from Warner Brothers now?

There was no sign. there was no indication that this would not be acceptable if we could sit on the couch and take photos i thought we could sit on the fountain and take right sure so but a guy came up and he was like you can't sit on the fountain and i was like show me the thing anywhere that indicates this wouldn't have been okay no no no i was thinking that and i said it to ashley to him, I said, oh, my God, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Oh, gosh, I had no idea. I never would have said if I had any idea.

Yeah, I'm so sorry. I did say that. Was the fountain on? Yeah. I think so. The fountain was on. The fountain was on. The fountain was on.

Yeah, it was full of water. Did you consider hopping in? I definitely knew not to do that. But I did think I could sit on the edge Of it This is just before She got reprimanded Oh my gosh

Right before the crime Was committed Look how happy I look Just before I got yelled at At least we have the photo The legal photo And then she had to stand Less happy

She looks upset In that photo Well I had just been Reprimanded Well you Yeah you got a sap To the back of the head From Winter Brothers

I was legitimately Taken aback By how much he scolded me wow I felt very defensive because I don't I'm not a rule breaker I don't like breaking rules I don't like having broken rules

and then yeah the couch itself is made of like a very hard plastic the couch is almost like the snick couch or something it's like a very hard plastic of some kind. The couch is almost like the SNCC couch or something. It's like a cartoon version of the couch itself. It's an exaggerated mock-up. Because so many tourists sit on it.

They're like, we can't possibly have a real couch. Well, then is the real one in that set, that little other set? That's the real one, right? Or a real one. Because they tore the set down like the day they were done yeah shooting right they had to get out of there yes they had to create it later yeah they had to shoot new adventure they had to get jimmy in to shoot the class they had to get

help jason finish college yeah just a basic communication oh yeah they had umbrellas for us I don't know if they always have umbrellas

showing a picture of the umbrellas which I did have a question about we didn't really get an answer but I thought what was the

significance of umbrellas don't they have them in the opening yeah they have them in the opening I think it was just to create a fun

pop of color I think it was just to have movement and something different in some shots. You don't buy it, yeah. I know that. A little superfluous. I think they were, because the trivia I did know is that they told them they weren't going to have opening titles. The creators, without asking permission permission first went ahead and shot those opening titles in front of the fountain with the couch and the the umbrellas and then showed it to

him with like uh uh rem's shiny happy people playing over it and they're like see isn't this better with an opening title sequence and they were like yeah it's better and then he wrote the the rembrandt song. Wow. I do like the Friends theme. Yes. I will say I always liked the Friends theme even back in the day. It's a solid theme. It's iconic. Yeah, it is iconic.

And the guy said who wrote it, he was like, well, if I'd known it was going to be as big a hit, I might have spent a little more time on the lyrics, though. Oh, yeah. The lyrics are, yeah, they're fine. They're fine. They're very serviceable for the show gotta feel this way

I'll be there for you no one told you your life was always gonna be this way clap clap clap I always think of it in the same realm your job's a joke

you're broke there's like it's like why would it do you your job's a joke you're broke your love life is dead on arrival.

It's kind of salty. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's all about the struggle of your 20s and how your friends are your family when you're just out of college. Yeah, I couldn't relate to the lyrics. Yeah. I wanted to be a Pinocchio.

I wanted this to be a Pinocchio song. You wanted to be a superhero. So were there any things you thought of in the moment like, oh man, if they did something next year, like an extra element, oh man, I wish I could put on

like Phoebe, like play Phoebe's guitar. I know she plays the guitar with the Smelly Cat song. I know that. They should, that would have been great. They should have had a woman

dressed as Phoebe playing her song. That would have been so fun. Look at that. I've never even, I just know that. I was saying, they were playing music from the show but it was all like 90s jams like weirdly when we first arrived at the buffet they just kept playing all by myself on a loop

yeah it's in one episode like what is going? And then finally other songs started to play. It was a good playlist. Just songs that were used in the show. Would you have liked it? But yeah, they should have had a woman there playing these songs. Singing while we're eating maybe. That would have been fun. And they just like thrown some other stuff in there too.

Yeah, a smelly cat. As if she was playing at a cafe. I didn't see any smelly cat stuff. Or merch. Would you have liked? That's weird. Yeah, it is. Because of the Selick-Courtney Cox relationship, would you have liked to see an older man kissing

a young woman? I would have loved to have seen a mustachioed 50-something-year-old kissing a woman just about to hit 30. I would have loved it. Yeah. And that would just be happening the entire meal. Okay. Here's what I would have loved it and that could just be like happening the entire meal okay uh here's what i would have loved awnings tents of some kind protecting us from the sun

it was like 80 degrees so we're sitting eating hot thanksgiving dinner yeah in the blazing sun okay i also would have loved some coffee yeah okay do they do coffee on the show well they did they do coffee on the show i've never seen it i've never seen it central perk is the coffee shop they always hang out did they drink coffee there so i married an axe murderer cappuccino the reason they didn't have that is because they have the central perk cafe for you to purchase all of these coffee correct yes so that's why there was no coffee at the buffet but i desperately needed caffeine let's see uh soda gravy didn't do it for you gravy didn't do it for me jason drinks caffeinated

gravy oh the turkey was, the turkey was delicious. The turkey was moist and delicious. The ham was fine. Would you like to hear the specialty drinks? Oh, yes, please. Specialty coffee drinks. So we've got the Joey. That's mango cold brew tea.

Okay. Okay. We've got the Monica. What do you think that was? Oh, my God. I'll tell you. It's the one I ordered. Sprite? It's the Monica. What do you think that was? Oh, my God. I'll tell you. It's the one I ordered.

Sprite? It's the one Lindsay ordered. Sprite? Sprite? Coffee drinks, Michael. Coffee drinks. Oh, coffee drinks. Right, right, right. Sprite mixed with coffee?

Sprite infused coffee? Actually, that sounds good. It probably is good. Midnight Mocha Cold Brew. Okay. Okay. It was good. What do you think the Rachel is?

I'll tell you what the Rachel is. It should have been the Phoebe. Yeah. Oh, it's noodles in the coffee to look like Jennifer Aniston's hair. Noodles. Yeah, because it would just be noodles in the shape of her hair. That's fun. I'm an expert at themed entertainment and food service.

It was a cup of noodles. A cup of noodles and coffee. The Rachel. You drink it on the Warner Brothers line. It was a matcha latte. Okay. I've heard of that. It's very strong.

This one is the Ross. Classic flat white. There you go. Nailed it. And then we got the Chandler that's a caramel hazelnut latte and then the Phoebe which was a cookies

and cream ice blended that seems way more Rachel to me and then the matcha seems way more Phoebe it's a bit of a yeah departure from everything else character assignment but yeah so those were available to cream ice blended yeah that's a yeah so so yeah and you know what i got oh yeah please a hot chocolate not to any character nothing like baking in the sun. Hot chocolate. At least we were inside by this time

because this was at Central Park. Baking in the sun, I feel like, is a complaint I see about a lot of new theme park lands or attraction lines. Yeah, all you have to do is set up some of those tents. I know. That was a mistake. I hope they figure that out.

And you look at the early photos of Tomorrowland at Disneyland. There's these giant shade coverings everywhere. Yeah. Yeah. So to sum up, is there any overall thoughts? The experience was nice. You had a nice day together. Very nice day together.

It was a nice day with friends. It's always fun to be in the lot. Yeah, it was a nice day with my love. Yeah, my love. Yeah, it was a nice day with my love. Yeah, my love. Yeah, any other... It was a bummer that we didn't get the friends trivia. Honest mistake, I'm sure. Yeah.

And he threw in... I think we got a fair amount of friends trivia during the actual tour. Yep, yep, yep. Like, this is where they filmed this scene. This is where they filmed that scene. Here's that. Yeah, here's the movie theater from this episode, all of that.

And then the meal was really good. Yeah. Yeah. I'd say worth it for the meal alone, honestly. If you're looking for a nice Thanksgiving dinner, check it out. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

Well, Jason, I mean, you don't care about friends, but maybe we send you over. There's a couple more days of this event. event yeah you get one of your to-go bags you load up are you allowed to bring a doggy bag by which i mean a black trash i was like we should have brought wine this would have been so nice with a nice wine they could have charged like a little you know extra price and sold alcohol i think i wonder yeah i wonder if that's probably a whole like to do getting a liquor license probably yeah i'm sure it's to do with liquor license they should let on any studio tour they should let you drink yeah i agree also the

catering staff was super nice as well yes and they were not in character very nice not in character okay so maybe more characters i would say your idea for somebody playing the the rachel drink the rachel drink more so the phoebe somebody playing phoebe's music would have been a really good touch all right well i feel like i you're not too far i feel like espresso tonics were a thing i saw for a while at cafe menus. I feel like I've never seen anyone suggest a cup of noodles. He's saying my Sprite idea, right? I know. I think the big ramen manufacturer,

I think there is top ramen with caffeinated top ramen. Like Gamer Fuel top ramen. What about caffeinated gravy a man can dream you have your morning cup of gravy to start your day yeah yeah well that's possible you could make i mean we we really we've talked about so many different business ventures on the show that's that have never come true but jason sheridan's caffeinated gravy is something we should put to the front of the line. After the fact, it was funny because it didn't seem like I seemed the most excited about coming in with like Friends trivia on the tour.

Because the guy was like, and then on this scene is where you see down that alleyway, you see Monica and Rachel talking. I was like, I know they were talking about Jean-Claude Van Damme in the episode where they're seeing the movie thing. Yeah, yeah. And I seemed to be the only one really being like, this is the list, and pushing the nerd glasses up. Me and one other gal. Yeah. The Lauren Day. And I think that's because we were there on press day. And so a number of other people were all there to cover it for something. Yes.

They weren't so much there because they were Friends fans. And I didn't realize that until the meal. Yeah. That was maybe what I was dealing with with batman day yeah yeah but yeah there was there was although the the guide was like because they yeah they give them all these very specific things to say because it's not their normal guide speech and right the guide for batman day was like he said something about aquaman's villain black mantra Mantra. And the villain's name is Black Manta, like the aquatic life. And I just was like gripping my, I'm not going to correct him. He's doing his best. You called Mr. Zav.

You sent a very long email out there. Yeah, you sent a Zav email. Did you go to the Turner Classic Movies tour? They invited us to an event. Yes, I did go to that. I'd love to have gone to that well there was a whole mart they we talked about them in the show did we not with ben mankiewicz yeah ben mankiewicz was there and a marching band came all of a sudden like playing 76 trombones

and ben mankiewicz on a tram car turning around the corner and we were like holy shit and then there was like an old fantastic and an old cowboy was that like i forget his the actor's name but he was just like there to be like the movies fantastic and an old cowboy was that like i forget his the actor's name but he was just like there to be like the movies are great or whatever i loved that yeah it was really funny on the tour because we're sitting next to this other couple and they they would he would tell us the fact he'd be like and here's where growing pains was shot and ashley and i would be like oh and then he'd say and here's where like pretty little liars did this and we were both like totally silent or he would start to say something he would go ah yeah yeah because it would seem

really interesting and then become like abruptly less interesting so it would be an ah just just me freaking out freaking out on a tour when they go like and this was Philip Marlowe's office building in the big sleep Humphrey Bogart walked through this door

and I'm like oh my god exactly it's like yeah Ashley and I both going oh giving away our age as soon as he was like

and this is the Seavers house and we're like what yeah yeah that's I did that with when they said Adam West. I just got very, I got giddy. I do feel like Ashley and I were the most vocal tour.

For sure. Okay, so you won the tour. We won the tour. Let's say so, yeah. We were definitely the star pupils of the tour. Yeah, that's good. And then I really appreciated the fact that they showed a trailer for the second season of the Gremlins cartoon. Oh, right, right.

On Max. Yeah. They showed that on the tram on the little video? They showed that on the tram video. Oh, that's good. When we were like leaving the buffet. Yep. Synergy.

That's nice synergy. It was just nice to see an animated show get some love. I know. That's right. P.S. Guest Joan Ford worked on that. Yes. Well, let's say, and I Joan Ford worked on that. Yes.

Well, let's say, and I'll do it really casually and quietly. Lindsay and Ashley, you survived podcast podcast. Did I call it palm cast? Palm cast. Palm cast. Oh, my God. You survived podcast the ride. Let's exit to the gift shop.

Now that we're talking cartoons. And you do the, let's do the sell. Let's do to the gift shop. Now that we're talking cartoons. And you do the, let's do the sell. Let's do the hard sell. Oh, that was a perfect. Actually, quickly before we do that is Ashley was on the hunt for something to do with Tiny Toons. Yes, you are Babs Bunny. Because she is Babs Bunny. That is awesome. Sometimes I forget.

Yes, I forget. We're talking to Babs Bunny. So Ashley bought like a really cool original animation. So I did the original Tiny Toons. Yeah, because it's I'm always like everywhere. I'm like any Tiny Toons stuff anywhere. This was a big show also. Yeah, and it's always Looney Tunes, you know, and then Space Jam stuff, you know, all that.

So but we went outside and they had like a whole, not marketplace, but like a whole. As we were exiting through the gift shop. As we were, yeah. All of these original like vintage sales

from different shows. So I asked if they had Tiny Toon stuff and they did. They had like four bins worth and Tom Rugger who created Tiny Toons, he comes and signs them.

Oh, that's cool. Yeah, but he wasn't there that day. Ashley got a really good one. Yeah, I'm going to get it signed. I bought one. Did you try to get it on the house? I did. Well,

I told him, I was like, yeah, I'm the voice of Babs Bunny. And he was like, oh my God, what? And I was like, yeah. And he was like, I told him, I was like, yeah, I'm the voice of Babs Bunny. And he was like, oh, my God, what? And I was like, yeah. And he was like, oh, well, you can get an employee discount. And I was like, what? I don't work here. You know, I don't know how. I was like, how are you going to prove that by WB, though?

I guess so. Yeah, sure. Yeah. So I got a pretty hefty discount which was really nice you are subletting the water tower from the Animania exactly

yes um I am Warner Brothers royalty at this point you are just kidding

I kept threatening to out Ashley as the voice of Babs Bunny on the tour I was like please don't do it if he so much

has mentioned Looney Tunes I was gonna be like um but it didn't happen you got rep remanded for that on the tour if he so much has mentioned Looney Tunes I was gonna be like um but it didn't happen you got reprimanded for that

after that fountain sitting incident by the ghost of Jack Warner that's why you were so startled I was like oh my god

the four Warner brothers are reprimanding me from beyond the grave um but yeah so now that we've discussed the actual exiting through the gift shop. Yeah.

literally found hours ago. Hours ago. There's an original song about Goofy being a dinosaur called Goofasaurus. Never heard of this before. A couple hours ago, we're going back and forth and I was finding something and there's this weird half Macy's Day parade, half Disneyland parade.

It's very Dinosaur Flintstones themed. No idea what it is. Okay. Finding Eisner treasures every week still. Eisner era treasures. The man was a treasure trove. God bless him. And then to go out, I bought myself a gift weeks ago at Disneyland, and I want to to open it right now this is going to be my first munchling now that we're talking

about food oh these are uh disney this is a new thing i'm about to collect so lindsey uh a shutter should run down her spine as far as stuff i'm collecting but these are yeah these are characters uh that are meant to also be food. So I could get Scrooge McDuck, who's pancakes. He's half Scrooge McDuck, half pancakes. Huey, Dewey, and Louie, who are in a cereal bowl filled with fruit. Kit Cloudkicker from Tailspin, who is a brown sugar muffin. Darkwing Duck, who is a fruit cup parfait.

Gosselin Mallard, who's freshly squeezed orange juice. Wow. Gosselin from Darkwing Duck. Yeah, the plucky little girl.

Goliath from Gargoyles, berry breakfast pastry. Wow, Gargoyles. Or a mystery character. So I'm very excited to do this. I've been meaning to open this up on the show

for weeks, and I think Thanksgiving is a perfect time. Mike I'm very excited to do this. I've been meaning to open this up on the shelf for weeks and I think Thanksgiving is a perfect time. Mike is just tearing into the box like a raccoon. It's so stressful to me. And we've got,

oh, Scrooge McDuck is a pancake. Yay. I gotta say, it's gotta be the best one, right? The Darkwing Duck parfait

was the one I maybe wanted the most, but this is pretty good. They all honestly are really good and we're going to Disneyland soon with the family and we'll get a few more of these boxes when we're there. Nice.

As long as Fairly Oddparents gets picked up for season two. Yeah, only on that condition. Just to share a brief theme park story. Regarding our child, she's been talking to the nightlight in the bedroom at night. She says, hello, Lello nightlight. And then I talk back as the nightlight in the bedroom at night she says hello Lalo nightlight and and then I talked back as the nightlight and I said hello Ramona and

so then what I did this a few times and now she just like continually tells the yellow nightlight about her last trip to Disneyland whoa she's like I was at the castle I saw Mick and Goofy and Daisy and Donald. It's so cute. Daddy went on a 15-minute rant about something called Lightning Lane Premium. Yeah. Yeah. Well, she knows.

And she knows what the problems are with the system. And she can list them. And she can list them. And she agrees. And she does. Yeah. But in the cutest voice possible. Yeah.
