You need a place, a place to stroll with alcohol A place that features part of the Berlin Wall Where steampunk robots sell chocolate snacks A place where you can tattoo your lower back So let's go take a walk.

Let's all go to CityWalk Orlando tonight. Tonight. Podcast to Ride presents the CityWalk Orlando Saga. Multiverse of madness. A daily, extremely necessary series exploring the shops, restaurants, and cosmic wonder that make up Universal CityWalk Orlando. Welcome to Podcast the Ride, the CityWalk Orlando saga, multiverse of madness.

Scott Gairdner here, Mike Carlson there. Yo. Jason Sheridan, different over there. Over here. Where he is. We're day seven. We've landed at one week into this. Yeah, a full week.

Curious how you all are holding up. Not a business week, a full week, a real week. A calendar week. Yes, a calendar week, as they call it. The kind of week you're alive in. That's right. Not just business hours, but no rest for us right now. We're in as they call it. The kind of week you're alive in. That's right. Not just business hours. But no rest for us right now.

We're in the thick of it. And luckily, we're joined by somebody else willing to get into the thick of it with us. A survivor of the downtown Disney ordeal, former Rainforest Cafe employee, current writer, Julia Prescott. Hey. Hey. We're here. We Prescott. Hey. Hey. We're here. We made it. We made it.

I survived so many. I survived the writer's strike as well. Let's not forget that. We all did. We all did, yes. I survived those chicken fingers from the Rainforest Cafe in the volcano. And I'm glad that you're willing to participate

in a saga again, despite, here's what I'm doing. I'm apologizing in advance because there's been a runner kind of so far of like bad things keep happening to the guests.

We really wasted Evan Susser's time after a long, laborious day. Eve Anderson got food poisoning. We don't know from where yet. i hope one of the

running themes since today this is more pleasant and i'm not gonna spoil my experience oh boy well this is what oh no well like i don't know my question is has anything bad happened to you already because we asked you to do this right i would say that nothing bad with a capital b has happened to me um but in regards and i and i just want to say i'm very respectful of the rules right of the sector thank you so you know i may stray and and i'm i'm very open to you reeling me in raining it okay okay in. Okay, okay. Because you are one of the guests who was kind enough to go to, who was in Orlando and who thought about this while you were there and asked about this to make sure that you could help repair the rift in the multiverse. Listen, am I a patriot?

Yeah. Am I a friend of the pod? Yeah. Am I a friend of multiple pods that's not something i want to discuss because we don't talk about ex-lovers okay i just want to say you're now that's the important thing my my uh promise to you guys and to the cliffords listening is that when i am in a themed environment i'm always thinking of you i do it for you thank you oh my god that's nice and i'm not sure if you guys I do it for you. Thank you. Oh, that's nice. And I'm not sure if you guys know, but it's going to come out,

that the visit that I took to one of the locations in this sector was a solo week-long Disney World trip I took. Oh, no, I didn't know that. Wow. A year that was full of things that I should be feeling more like an adult and acting more like an adult. I think I bought a house in this year. And yet, I decided that Mama needed some solo time at Disney World. And my takeaway is that families ruin Disney World.

Wow. And the only way to fully experience it and descend to heaven is to do it by yourself. And you're not even talking about just like kids. You're talking about like grandparents ruin it. Oh, yes. Aunts and uncles ruin it. Absolutely.

Anyone in addition to me ruins it. Right. Yeah. I mean, look, you know, I have not been to Disney World since having a child. I've been several times without the family. Usually when I'm telling people I'm doing that, I'm asked like, are you going with the family?

No. Well, you can say you're going for work. Yes. Yeah, yeah, we are. No, it's work though. It's for work. It's not weird. It's for work.

It's for, there's a multiverse of madness and it got, we got to fix the rift. Speaking of all that, you know, we haven't seen him in a couple of days. I wonder if we can, we've just popped in for our quick little missions. I you know we haven't seen him in a couple days yeah i wonder if we can we've just popped in for our quick little missions i wonder if we can like get him to stick around for a little bit sk boys boys he's with us wow oh it's good to see we've just had these quick poppins we haven't gotten to catch up it's been a while it's been a while. It's been a while, man. It's been three old days.

Sector Keeper, hearing you say my name, and I mean this as a compliment, rings the same as hearing E.T. say my name at the end of the adventure. Oh my God, high praise. Thank you. It touches me deep into my heart. The most emotional experience that there is.

I did cry the last time I did it. Friend. Sometimes you just kind of cry at the word friend um okay we've been doing a couple episodes but we haven't had like the long sit down with you first of all thank you for setting us up in orlando with your your cousin and your friend it seems like the level keeper we. We had a good time with him. Yeah, good. He treats you guys well. He's good, right? Yeah, he did.

But I realize he stole my City Walk shirt from the kiosk. He was wearing it there. He was the one that stole the City Walk shirt from Emerald? Yeah, that's right. From the Emerald kiosk. Emerald Stage is where the kiosk is on the north side of Florida. By the waterfront. By the water taxis.

No, I know. In Phase 1, sector three. It's phases now, and that's in sector three. Just to catch up, Julie, there's phases and sectors, but there's also jump points and portals, and there's also back doors and front doors and trap doors, and there's also a galactic fence that you have to walk through on the side of a house.

On the side of a cosmic house. A cosmic house. Yeah, yeah. Okay, and that's different than the other galactic fence at the other park. Yes, yes, yeah. Alpha and Omega. If there's one in Hollywood and Orlando,

there's an Alpha and Omega, and the Alpha and Omega names are based on which one opened first. Of course, yeah. You're fine. You're more at ease with it than we have been. That's true. I'm glad someone here is calm.

He stole your shirt. Yeah, yeah, he was wearing it at the live show. Bad keeper. Yeah, he was nice otherwise, but yeah, he was, yeah, he stole it. And he didn't give it back to you afterwards? He might have, but he stole it and he was wearing it. That's all I know. Oh, okay.

So he gave it back. He maybe tried to give it back. Or he did, and I maybe lost it. There's too many maybes flying around. I don't know what's happening. I don't know. I'll have to figure it out. Once I was at your house, and we were going to go somewhere,

but you couldn't find your keys, and you came out, and you were like, they were on the floor under the bed. Yeah, they were. Okay. But at first, did you say someone stole them? No, I didn't say that. I don't say everything I've lost is stolen. I don't say that.

Somebody stole, some ruffians must have stolen it from you. There's only one answer. I lost the keys. The shirt, I'm not sure where it is. That's a different thing. Maybe you have to go back. Yeah, it's possible you have to go back. Yeah. It's possible I have to go back.

They have a spray airbrush tea kiosk. And I had a guy make I Love City Walk on the shirt. I love that shirt. It was worn by the level keeper at our live show. With permission or not? With permission. Okay. All right.

Well, you know what? My thing is, you've been saying that these cousins are, your relatives have been coming after you for your Powerball money. That's right. But you also said that Level Keeper is on the level. You like him. $1.2 billion isn't that much after taxes, all right?

That's true, yeah. And do you get it all at once or in installments? I chose installments. Oh, dude. Oh, come on. You got to invest. I know. You didn't want the curse of the lottery.

Yeah, it's the curse, right? I've read the Reddits, man. These things are bogus. Playing that quick pick was the worst thing I've ever done. And I include dancing in the fountain. Oh, no. It killed you. Which is what killed you, yeah.

Which is what took me down worse than your wow oh my god sector keeper I hate to pry into your business but I see some tickets

are you still playing the powerball hey whoa whoa whoa don't harsh my scratch-offs man these are just scratch-offs

I'm not playing mega millions you're holding them for a friend I'm holding them for a friend they're stocking stuffers dude

yeah it's a great birthday or Christmas gift. This one knows what he's talking about. I know. I talk Pennsylvania Lottery when it's around Christmas time. They're always doing ads of like, give the gift of winning. Have you gotten scratchers for Christmas? I think from extended family, yeah.

Okay, so aunts and uncles. Can you do that give the gift of winning clean that'd be like a jolly i don't know what kind of guy is saying that is he like uh maybe santa claus or like an elf let's throw it out there for any like christmas commercial purposes or just just do it do it again hey give the gift of winning i love a podcast that can double as a self-tape yeah you know what while you got the microphone set up, why not? It makes total sense. If you need to put yourself on tape for anything.

Maybe at the end. Yeah, sure. I don't do a lot of on-camera stuff, but I don't not do it. But you know, this also, this wouldn't be in a way because nobody could see you. So this is more if you want to audition for like being like an NPR host or a voiceover. That's really what this could be good for. You joke, but I have auditioned for multiple California lottery commercials and never been hired.

Really? Yeah. Ironically, playing another lottery that you are not winning. I know, because they can tell. It's a conflict of interest because you play so much. Yeah, yeah.

Right, right. Yeah, in your heart, you're self-sabotaging out of principle. You know, it's one of the special things of the Philadelphia airport, multiple Pennsylvania lottery kiosks. Really? Yeah. For, like, scratch-off tickets for all. Yeah, for scratch-offs, yeah.

Well, this sounds like a future saga that we're going to have to get into. Oh, boy. Well, they did in the 90s, they did turn it into a mall and they're like, come do your shopping at the airport. Like go to the airport? Go to the airport.

And don't, what do you mean? Who would do that? Really? If you weren't even going on a flight? That's right. That got shut down real quick a few years later. Did anything happen that shut it down? Or was it just 9-11?

That's what I thought. I was going there. All right. I pretended I didn't know. You wanted to get Jason's catchphrase. I wanted Jason's other catchphrase. We could get a clean 9-11 as well. If there were any robberies or fights,

just the normal level of Philly, you know, riledness, you know? Sure, I do know. You've told me. I would caution you, Sage the Keeper, to just be careful about a couple of things. If you think about playing again, I don't think Lightning's going to strike twice.

I wouldn't, I'd say the odds of you winning it two times don't seem very good. And also, I'm glad you said nice things about the level keeper, but I'm also a little worried with the shirt stealing. Obviously you know about his thing, his thing where he hits a cowbell with everything that he says. That's his thing

which he did in the live show, but I'm starting to worry that he stole that cowbell. It's possible. Can I ask a possibly dumb question? Oh no, no right only because you may have covered it in previous episodes of the citywalk saga um when it comes to uh the the multiverse or i guess the um wider family of the sector keepers or the the level keepers the other keepers your family yeah question for for you guys sorry sector keeper but like um what's the vibe is it like when we all meet homer's relatives and they're all variations of homer you know some are dumber than others or

like you know what i do know the connection between all of us but i'll let you oh well if you know each place that we represent we've all died on the premises. But non-declared, just like Disneyland. Yeah, that makes sense. They wait till you're off. Right, that's how they get you. They make sure the corpse is cold. Yeah, they said I died on the 101.

So like American Dream Mallkeeper might have died Like while they were building it Like a wrecking ball dropped Accidentally He might have rolled all the way down The unfinished ski slope Oh right

Oh yeah But we don't know because the police just declared him Dead like two miles away In like a river somewhere. What do you think would be the funniest way to die at CityWalk Orlando? Oh, interesting. Funniest way. I mean, I guess if the Hemisphere dancer Jimmy Buffett's plane suddenly turned on and you're having drinks under it, the propeller turned on and kind of like chopped you up real quick that's a cartoonish death yeah yeah that's a mistake

that's good forgive me if i may have shared this on a previous episode of this fine podcast we've all done it many times. Yeah, it's kind of my thing. But as given, we're talking about, let's call it City Walk East. I will always love City Walk East. It will always hold a special place in my heart because I witnessed truly the wildest thing I've ever witnessed, which is somebody on stilts visibly lost. And that happened out. I don't remember this. That happened. visibly lost and that happened out i don't remember this that happened it was clearly a

margaritaville stilt walker and i've never been on stilts but from what i hear you have to just keep following momentum and i right i saw this stilt walker like very far away from margaritaville being surrounded by people trying to take a photo and you could just see on their face. All they wanted was to turn around and figure out where the fuck they were. So I just wanted to share that, that maybe that's part of the silliest way to die. You are,

uh, you know, a lost Margaritaville still Walker. And then you, uh, end up, uh, going face down into the fake lake there maybe that's good yeah

that's good i do remember the early days of margaritaville uh out here was full of stilt walkers i recall us going those first few weeks multiple times and seeing people on stilts yeah it wasn't just opening they kept that going for a little bit. That's right. As recently as 2018, I saw one. Wow. Wow. Okay. They make balloon animals? I feel like some of them were friendly enough with one that she recognized us the second

or third time. What an honor. I feel like, I know that this is treacherous, but I feel like the proximity of that Margaritaville to the sky zone would create a really crazy situation you shoot up close your eyes oh no clacking around in there like if a giraffe got pulled into that car dealership you know oh no one of those flappy guys um oh yikes how do you end up lost as a still walker what's it like i don't know just like went out the wrong door or first day doesn't know right and there's a i don't know wait do i work at margaritaville or do i work at lone palm airport right and having an existential crisis of self um in the middle of city walk a

despondent like still walker somebody who just doesn't know what they're doing anymore city walker leno that's a bad place to get lost. It's still, City Walker, there's a lot of stairs and decorative stairs. And just a lot of slopes. Yes. You could find yourself up a slope and then you're in front of, you know, the frozen margarita place. And, you know, there's somebody playing jazz and you're like, okay, that's nice. But where the fuck am I?

Yeah. And if it is your first day, like walking on stilts at all is one thing, but slopes, they didn't tell me there'd be slopes. They didn't tell me. That's a future lesson. I haven't done the slopes class yet. You know what? Actually, speaking of which, I think hills and elevations, I think that's kind of what we're dealing with here in this new phase. Let's get the official assignment, Sector Cube.

That's right. We've entered a new phase. Let's get the official assignment, Sector Cube. That's right. We've entered a new phase. It's phase three, the up the weird stairs and ramps phase. Wow. Don't you just get chills thinking about it? We're finally there. I got chills approaching it.

Because of the altitude. Yeah, because of the altitude. It gets colder as you go. what's in it this is phase three sector one bend the bow bread box and menchies oh i knew you'd like to say that one we know you that's up your alley um well yeah this is if you know if you've never been there in person there's this there's this odd zone that turns like really zigzaggy like like there's it's stairs and ramps at the same time and the ramps get very zigzaggy and when we were there I was saying it's like San Francisco and sure enough this little zone when it was added was called is called Lombard Street unofficially so if you uh felt a little

little whiff of san francisco while you were there yeah that's why um or you were hallucinating i don't know why i'm so offended by that i don't know there's like i i feel like there's there's a limit to how cute my theme park company is content, mainly because it doesn't at all look like Lombard's. It's just because it's steep and it zigzags. That's all you got there. Give me a fake storefront or get out of here. Yeah, yeah.

Well, it's not an official designation, so they at least aren't too offensive on that end. But this is where we start. I guess the direction we're going, we're kind of climbing up to the food court but not quite at the food court but there is food stuff up there it's like a secret little place almost yeah you could miss it entirely but we we didn't miss it nook that's another thing we didn't really have here cosmic nooks that's part of the multiverse it sounds like an item on the bread box menu. The cosmic nook. Here's what I'll do.

I will quickly knock out Bend the Bow, unless anyone has other thoughts about Bend the Bow. This is what I can offer, because the City Walk saga was in my mind when I went to Orlando on a bachelor party two and a half years ago. Like, I better get something here. We got these sectors to worry about.

So two and a half years ago or more, I went to we got these sectors to worry about so two and a half years ago or more i went to bend the bow it's kind of like i mean you could picture what bows are but like it's you know the optimal version of it kind of like a steamed bun with meat inside this is more like um tacos but with a puffier bun instead of a tortilla um the results are mediocre to that uh the bows are pretty dry the ingredients don't feel super fresh i didn't recognize what ingredients i was looking at in the photos from two and a half years ago one definitely shrimp which i remember was dry bad shrimp the other i i just don't know i also remember it took forever to arrive uh i did not like ben the bow that's ben the bow we did it opening summer too that's what that was it was new 2021 is when it opened that's the best they

had that's like before well i've been understaffed from what I've read at some of these locations when they first opened. A little overwhelmed. Yeah, no one wants to work. No one wants to work at Bend the Bough. Like Kim Kardashian said, you know. Get back to bending the bough, she said. What do you mean there's no jobs?

There's boughs to be bent. Now, Bend the B bow, is that also, is there a bend it like Beckham kind of time? Is that a turn of phrase? What does it mean? What the hell does that mean? Isn't it, but the, what is, what's the thing? It's like, if you do the other spelling of bow, B-O-W,

when the bow breaks, baby will fall. That's a stretch maybe that's as best as i'm trying to give them something right is bend ever in that i guess because it's like you said it's the variety of bow that's like it's not a puffy bun it's more like a a taco and this is a this is a crucial mistake that they make to because like that's what's good about a real bao is that there's it's imbued with filling inside not just something's like slopped in there and just happened

because they know there's a big rush and we've had three orders that have taken us a half an hour to do. It's not their fault. There's just something wrong by design here. I mean this is the kind I've seen other places however the traditional like bun bao, it's very

easy to make in huge portions. Like, very... Not easy, excuse me. I don't mean to diminish the quality, but it's like, you can make them in batches. You know? As opposed to... Yeah, these seem much harder to make, because it took forever.

I didn't like it. The only thing that I liked is that this is where, while waiting around, you kind of end up next to the second floor of the movie theater where we got to go. Right. Where I went with the level keeper. And that was where my dream began of wanting to see what was on the inside. Because from the outside, you could just squint in and see a really sun bleached pelican brief poster and a really sun bleached philadelphia poster and i was like i want to know what the rest are and then getting in and discovering that there are a lot more old posters and that one of them is a second pelican brief poster it took two years to get that information and it didn't let me down

triples is best yeah that's my only note for them. Two movies that came out when I was still alive. Yes, you know those movies. All of them are. It's Roger Rabbit and Cape Fear is one. They did Roger Rabbit? Yeah, that's cool. It is cool. And the one where his silhouette

is made with a film reel. Have you ever seen that poster? It's nice to see that in person. I think all of these movies predate CityWalk entirely. Yes, you're right. It didn't exist. Why did they? Maybe they just bought all those posters.

Boys, you're learning. You're learning. Oh, that's the rift. That's right. CityWalk Orlando was built around the posters. Oh, they were there. They were hovering on the second floor? They've always been there.

They built a theater around it. As totems to teach the future generations. Yes, that's right. Instead of nailing the poster into the wall, they built the wall and then thrust it into the poster, which had nails in it already. They're load-bearing. Yes, yes, yes had nails in it already. They're load-bearing. Yes, yes.

Yes, yes, yes. So there you go. I'm happy to check that one off the list. I would... I'm not sure which direction to go now. Julia, if you want input into that, Menchie's Breadbox, Breadbox Menchie's,

any strong leanings? Just take a ramp or stairs, that's all I ask. I mean, I definitely walked past Menchies, and I've been in a Menchies before. Yes, great. That's enough, right? That's enough.

Of course, of course. I ate it. We ate Menchies, Jane and I. Hey, all right, that's more than enough. We had a little chocolate. You can see some strawberries, some cookie dough, some nonpareils, and some chocolate rocks on there. However, by the time we got to the bottom,

it just kind of looked like black sludge. It's a chocolate-covered Oreo that looks like it's been in an oil spill. It's kind of a genre of dessert where you're really chasing those first three bites, and then you know you're getting weird soup by the end. Well, but I got all the soup at the end. I got the nombrels and chocolate rocks covered in sludge. Wait, so you told that story, and then look how it ended up.

Pretty gross, huh? And then the end of the story is you ate all of it. Oh, yeah, I love ice cream soup. sludge wait so you you you told that story and like and then look how it ended up pretty gross huh and then the end of the story is you ate all of it oh yeah i love ice cream soup yeah i love it it just looks very it was like no light was escaping from this chocolate frozen yogurt and you create it yourself in that menchie yeah i think we both went back and forth adding you scoop and things because like pink very recently has gone to the model of they do all of it for you out here. Ever since the pandemic. Ever since the pandemic.

Which I feel like used to be their model. Well, maybe they, maybe, did they always do it? I swear you could, I don't know. I think, A, I think that's true. And B, I think this all was said in the first, the first time we talked about fucking Menchies. It absolutely was. I like when they do it for you.

I am against doing it yourself. Yes, that's right. Every beginning is an end, and every end is a beginning. I'm just trying to see if Menchies in Orlando is still doing it that way. You serve yourself. Okay, got it. She likes chocolate rocks, and I like nonpareils, and we make it work. Somehow.

Somehow. And these people be together. No cordials. Two houses both alike in dignity, I understand. Yes, exactly. Yes. How did you find it to be compared to other Menchies, just as a dessertist, like quality, cleanliness, any of that?

Yeah, it was very clean inside. It was totally deserted in the middle of the day, which is becoming a running theme in city walk uh orlando specifically um uh yeah it was fine there was a lot of options you know yeah um i feel like when i serve when i do serve yourself yeah I either do very little or way too much. It's like, oh, this is $8 now. The weight, yeah. Because you just forget.

You just start putting toppings on. That's what they want, Jason. You're playing right into their hands. That's what they want. If they have those animal cookies and you're like, I need seven of those pink and white animal cookies with the frosting on it, then that weight is that's going up that's that oh chocolate oreos those are real heavy heavy those are heavy too heavy you know what you should

do is you should get all the ingredients at home weigh all of them so you know next time you go how to save money by getting the lighter ingredients that is a level of checking i i never thought that you would ascend to how would it have it took me seven years of this podcast to figure it out right yeah and becoming a father well that's probably what it did yeah yeah you're gonna have to be paying for desserts down the road yeah so if you can shave 90 cents off here and there we need to get the lighter to college the literal lighter cookies just less heavy cookies. Ah, a bit heavy. What?

It's fine. I haven't been eating too. No, no, no. Not in terms of health, in terms of weight for cost. That's right. Heavy is cost. That's the issue. Yeah.

If you could put like rice cakes on your Menchies, that would be ideal because they're so light. I have a question and perhaps you already answered it with the previous Menchies episode. I listened to them all., but I can't recall. I don't recall anything about it. Or maybe this is more like a question for CityWalk East and CityWalk West. Do you feel like one is more of a locals CityWalk than the other? Ooh, that's a good big question to ask. Yeah, I don't know.

I feel like maybe Hollywood is less locals. I think Hollywood is more locals if you're fucking nuts like everyone here right but uh but yeah yeah no no we're all part of that uh um i but like i live there man i'm sorry i like um these words come out of me. I'm a little twisted. But do real regular people in LA go? I don't think so. Maybe for movies only. Yeah. If that's where your local movie theater is.

And then what about CityWalk East? I think that's a lot of people on vacation. It's a lot of people on vacation, but I do think the locals maybe go more. Maybe not as much as they used to. Because it feels like the heyday was years ago when people would just go hang. Like locals would hang there. I feel like you're judging all of this off of your one conversation with Matt Cardona.

That's one of them. But also when we've talked to the different people that work at the theme parks. I forget. Last trip we took, we were sort of like, wasn't there like a, you go hang at Disney Springs and you party at CityWalk or something? You party at CityWalk. It's like the SNL after party and after after party. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah. They both have reduced their hours pretty heavily after 2020. Yes, they used to be more of a late night. They used to go to Pleasure Island and be able to until like one or two every night there was somebody told us yeah like four or five years ago that that was more of a hang at least at that time even so i think maybe because i also we talked about on the nbc sports bar and grill that

i got the feeling there were locals just watching sports at the bar it's a nicer yeah it's a it's bigger it's a the water's there it's nicer I don't know who would really want to go up to the coldness of our CityWalk Hollywood, except us. It's a place, I think, where you might want to be more because the water is genuinely nice to look at. Except then when you're there, then what do you do? It was interesting for us to go. We aren't by these things all the time. But is the local really getting there, parking, taking the parking ramps,

walking across the lagoon, going to like, what's your wait tonight here at Toothsome? 85 minutes. But to your point, I think the parking is a big detractor. Not my solo trip, but the trip before with my family, But to your point, I think the parking is a big detractor. Not my solo trip, but the trip before with my family, we literally got lost at the end of a long Universal Day

for a full hour in that giant parking structure. Oh, wow. Like, we saw God. Like, we were shells of who we once were. You and me both, Julia. Yeah, I know. See him all the time. And so I feel like,

you know, with CityWalk West, I know exactly where to park to like take, I like, I have my perfect spot and I take that escalator

right up to what is now that weird collectibles shop formally, the Skechers store. But I'm there in like minutes and I'm rolling into that AMC or Tooth Sums. I don't think we've found our spot and they guide you different way.

We were there recently. We were there three days ago and I said to Scott as I got off, I go, I still don't know where I am when I come out of the parking garage. Yeah, we're still confused. I know. I can lead the way. If you enter on Cahuenga, they'll send you to ET. And if you enter on Lancashire, they'll send you to Jurassic.

I know that. I do know that. That took me years to learn. But they'll still send you to Jurassic from Coinga. It's happened to me many a time. That can happen. And then if you go in Jurassic, you can still end up coming out by Celebrity Authentics. Or I have, for some reason, just come out by the Johnny Rockets.

And I don't know why. It's another, if you go another, there's multiple exits to that garage. Right. I mean, I know what you're saying, but I don't say right as if I know what you're talking about, because I just end up by Johnny Rockets, or I end up by Celebrity Authentics.

You're learning, boys. You're hitting jump points. Not to harp on this, but I do feel like if I were listening, I would want a clear definitive answer. And so I will share my answer to this entire conundrum. You always enter on Lancashire. And when they,

they're going to send you to Jurassic. And so when you enter Jurassic, there is the on-ramp that you can go to on the left that usually the security is guiding you toward yes betray the security us we cannot yes couldn't possibly you will break your first rule in the parking lot keeper shield your ears i know sorry betray the security and pretend like you're going out back to like the on-ramp toward ET. Pretend like you're going out, but then make a left into that parking structure. There's like one more entrance into the parking structure.

And that's where all of the EV parking is. But then also just like general compact parking is. And you will be feet away from the escalator leading up to Tooth Sums. Really? Yeah, every time. Oh, interesting. Nobody's ever parking there and now it'll be blown up but that's the answer, guys.

I'm going to need like a video to explain how this... Just make a video for me. When she said betray security, Mike started sweating. I don't... Yeah, I'm worried about getting in trouble. Mike, do you feel like you betrayed security just hearing that? Just putting this on a podcast that I am part of,

I feel upset. You have to pay a wall just this part. Here's another big parking thing. Disney Springs free parking garages. In the green parking lot, yeah. Or all of them. All of them, I think. Yeah, so that's a big low-polls. Oh my god.

I'm going to try this parking hack. Yeah. I will try it, and I will report back on this saga. Yep, my God. Yeah. Wow. I'm going to try this parking hack. Yeah. I will try it, and I will report back on this saga. Yeah, that's a good thing. Let's reserve that. I would also recommend getting that universal gold pass so that parking's included. Of course, I know everybody here has it. Well, I had it, which has left me, and then I let it expire because my kid costs money now.

Right. And I kind of don't want to be anywhere near Mario for a long time. So now that we know, we found out from the Secretary Keeper, we got to go back up to CityWalk Hollywood for various things as part of the multiverse. So now I'm parking on Coinga and walking up. So that's what I'm doing. Hey, it's free.

That's a hack. You get some steps in. That is a hack. But you're very aware of all things City Walk. And were you, am I remembering correctly, did you do a Halloween costume where you were City Walk, essentially? It was the first couple's costume

that I've done in many, many years with my husband. And was it pandering to you guys? Nice. Slash Americana Brand Memes account? You bet your ass it was. I'm asking about it now. Did I hope to get retweeted or reposted from them? Yes, and they did not.

But that's okay. I feel like we didn't either, which apologies. But I liked it. I saw it. I liked it. I'm bringing we didn't either, which apologies, but I liked it. I saw it and I liked it. I'm bringing it up now. We'll post it when this comes out. How did the costume work? So I got a unitard

and like a full length, full sleeve unitard. And then my husband, Mike, is an artist, animator, director person who is very busy. And yet I forced him to make all of the little like city walk standees. And he is like one of those cry cut like sticker maker, you know, machines that you get at Joanne's Fabrics. So he like designed all of them and then printed them out and then we assembled together um and so i had

across my chest um the big globe from the hard rock cafe rest in power king i had my 13th birthday party there oh wow yes oh i twosomes cannot hold a steampunk candle to what that was a complicated candle with lots of ears and screws. And then we kind of and then we wanted it to be because it's spooky all defunct you know Fallen Brothers restaurant. So we had the John Lovitz Comedy Club which I did do

a set at when I was beginning my stand up career and it was one of the few times that my mom was in the audience and the host was very problematic. So that'll forever be burned in my memory. And yeah, what else did I have? I had Jody Maroney's Sausage Factory.

I had Jurassic Parking over my backside. Just because that's what you should do. We decided. And a ton of other ones that I'm now forgetting, but yeah, a lot of fallen brothers and just like, we just assembled them all over my body. And then my husband,

Mike made one of the most amazing costumes I've ever seen, which is the minion overlooking the one-on-one. And he fully hit his face and he, he worked on it like for a full week straight, like did not sleep. He fabricated it out of cardboard and tested it many times. And it's amazing. Like stress tests?

Will this hold up? He stress tested it. Yeah. Is this structurally sound? A couple's costume, yeah. Damn, damn. It may be more sound than the real thing. Yeah.

Yeah, one earthquake and then timber yeah i should say that you know obviously i love city walk um but my nickname for a comedy show i used to run was i'm the young pope of city walk and i'm not sure if i've ever shared that with you guys no i don't think so it is my twitter. That all came to be because I joked one show that CityWalk is California's Vatican City and I am its young pope. It overlooks, it sits on a crest, it overlooks us, it keeps us warm.

It feels like it's governed by its own entity that is separate from LA County proper. Definitely. The fact that Universal City is its own city or town or whatever. Yeah. That maybe played a factor. My biggest gripe about that coaster going in

is that we lost a Universal City sign. Yeah, I know. We still got the other one. We still got one. That's okay. But that's, I mean, I've been looking at that my whole life. You too, Julie.

I was, I'm bummed about that. Maybe they can rebuild it once it's up. They better. I hope. Yeah. And one last thing. I've also always joked that the Minion Overlooking the 101 is our version of Christ the Redeemer. So it's something else that we look to for hope in times of struggle.

Amen, sister. Amen. Yeah, thank you. If you're the young pope, I'm kind of the young Sheldon of CityWalk. So you're canceled? Yeah. Yeah. And all my life was, yeah. His life. So you're canceled? Yeah. And all my life was, yeah. His life, yeah, he is.

He literally is. Okay, anything about this Menchies before we move to what we sent you to do? Right, right, right. Or wait, how do we, do we say some behind the scenes about how you ended up at Breadbox? Unless there's more Menchies.

So as I mentioned, I was disney world alone and universal alone um having a blast having a really good time it was also the holidays um so i i went uh you know when all the other families around me were feeling that holiday spirit i should also say that i did not tell my mom i was doing this uh until after i came back and was like by the way i was at disney world by myself last week and that was a fun fight um that was very silly she was she was upset because she wanted to go oh and i and i went that's that's not the point and she goes but um so anyway i was i yeah we were texting mike and i and i had offered i'm here what do you want what do you think i should do yeah send me in coach i am your your team member i'm your soldier i am your servant and you seemingly uh covered up your eyes uh looked pulled up a map covered your eyes and just pressed somewhere random uh basically yeah look i knew ahead of time we would need this yeah we need everything

you know we built the whole thing okay i'm glad bread boxes covered yeah we guess we needed guests for this and i was like well this is important i think it's gonna be important yeah i did you know before it was decided i did research around and was like, ooh, maybe I'll do the frozen margarita place. That's super fun. Or maybe they'll send me, I don't know, to a sit-down restaurant. Wow, what a treat. No, that didn't happen. Every guest, there has been something bad has happened.

Yeah. It is a disappointment. I didn't even know what bread box was when I sent you to do it. Right. Well, what a good it they needed it the most to find out what it is I didn't know I didn't know about the indoor swing

I didn't know anything about it we'll get into the swings I didn't know I still don't know after experiencing it I'll tell you what one thing I do not need after a long day at a theme park is a hot sandwich

on a weird swing set indoors. We can't get it right with anybody. This is a sector keeper. Everyone's cursed. We've sent. I know, I know. It's bad. It's bad.

It's like everybody's getting pulled into the rift. We're all part of the rift now. We're all part of the rift. I did bread box as well. Did you? I did. Yeah. It's bad. It's bad. It's like everybody's getting pulled into the rift. We're all part of the rift now. We're all part of the rift. I did bread box as well. Did you? I did do it. Yeah. And I had a chicken salad sandwich and a hot cup of cream of tomato soup.

What a combo. In the middle of a pretty hot day. It wasn't summer, but it was hot. It was definitely hot. At least it was lunchtime. It was lunchtime. So yeah, I did get a little heat for my lunch. So I had mine for dinner, which I would not recommend.

You don't crave a sandwich. A, at the end of a long theme park day, and B, just generally for dinner. I had the, I believe it was a heated vegan sandwich. Heated vegan? Or grilled or something or something yeah it was part of the hot sandwich menu oh hot vegetables i think it was listed it was bad it was like i didn't get food poisoning from it but oh no it's just like one of those meals question mark um where when you are served hot vegetables on a toasted wheat bread it feels like the food poisoning like you're eating the food poisoning is what i mean to say oh it felt like eating food

poison why does this happen every time this is what are we doing to ourselves to our people we like we're just this is every meal someone's felt bad the. This is the third time this has happened. I did have the tater tots, and those were good. Okay. But I will also say that I think my meal came out to just a hair under $20 for a sandwich and tater tots, and that just felt, even though it's theme park prices, it felt like a lot. Yeah, you're getting that back. Oh, I mean, don't like a lot. You're getting that back.

Oh, I mean, don't worry about it. It's lost to time. We can't take away whatever damage it did to your system. We can't do that, but we can at least, the money can come back. If there's a sir, we'll contribute to a GoFundMe down the road. I'll welcome that. I'm realizing now how many city walk restaurants offer tater tots as a side. Yeah.

And that feels like millennials reaching older adulthood. And it's like, but you still need your little tater tots like school lunch, right? You know what I wish they would do? Just wait a minute. You're saying this? If you or Mike saying, oh, these people like their kid food. Oh, no. No, I'm always thrilled when tater dots are on the menu

i just wanted to be clear no no there's no these adults eating like children i'm just realizing like widespread how it's like man i didn't remember this many places having tater dots a few years ago i will say this and i i i liked meal. This is one of the better meals. I had the sandwich. Yet more, yes. It's either it's food poisoning or it's extremely qualified praise. This was just like, you know, your mom bought some fancier

bread at the store. I bought the fancy bread. The chicken salad was pretty good. The soup tasted, or whatever, the tomato bisque, whatever it's called, tasted right. And yeah, I ate it. I was like, oh, good pretty good. The soup tasted or whatever, the tomato bisque, whatever it's called, tasted right. And yeah, I ate it. I was like, oh, good, good. And then, you know, it just looked, the presentation was fine.

What kind of bread did you, because the bread is the whole thing. You don't know? I don't know what kind of bread. I should go back and look. You put bread in the title, but the pressure is on the bread. Is the L.A. restaurant all about the bread? Right. And the bread's pretty good.

If you're putting bread in there, that implies spotlight on bread. It's called Bread Box. What's up with this bread? Right. It seemed to be some sort of multi-grain bread. I don't know if they make it in-house. I do not believe that's the case. I would severely doubt that.

I'm guessing they don't. Is this a universal original restaurant? Is this a universal owned restaurant um that's what i was trying to figure out are there other bread boxes out there i didn't see a bread box anywhere else um it's the one testing the franchise at the most expensive spot that you could possibly imagine uh yeah i think that might be because like when you go at least down the results like it's all orlando it's all universal orlando so i'm guessing this is one of the yeah because we've said they made this up there's no such place as bread box

yeah here we are parsing like oh so this must be kind of an artisan bakery no it's some fucking shit they thought of to make more money to understaff garbage ingredients yeah that's that's the tourist close-up magic trick though and that's something that i feel like so i was just i was just at city walk the other day if you can believe it wow and um parking uh my husband had never been inside of tooth sums so we went yeah so i said you simply must and um we went into the the gift shop and and we played a really fun game where we covered the price tags on everything and guessed. And we were always wrong.

It was always more expensive. A bar of chocolate was $16.99. And there was nothing special about it. Oh, wow. It just had screws. Jason just fainted. Well, I was actually at Twoosomes uh yesterday so i am familiar yes none of us learn we don't ever always like not for the show not for this show episode after

episode restaurants bad everything and all these play and then here we are again boys just keep boys how do you keep doing this to yourselves we're doing it for you sector keeper don't you see to connect it back to breadbox like what what i think his sentiment for twosomes i think is my sentiment also for breadbox which is we were walking through and like yeah in twosomes like a single truffle question mark um that's like the size of a quarter is four dollars and 75 cents and that's like the cheapest thing that you can get in there um and you know we were looking at it and and my husband's comment was just like wow this must only only only be for people who a have never been to um city walk before b have never been to california before maybe c have never been to the united states Maybe C, have never been to the United States before.

Or a chocolate place or a restaurant before. And are like, well, this must be the delicacy here. And I accept these charges. And I think that the same could be said for Breadbox, where it's like, this must be a hip happening, artisanal, bread sandwich-y place. And who am I to criticize it?'ve got you know porch swing chairs inside now i've seen everything like that's sort of the line of thinking that we find ourselves in why are there porch so you can sit in a swing and do they swing or are they stationary um they

swing a little bit but those chains are pretty taut. And it's the most uncomfortable chair. Like it's just like hard wood. And I was watching so many families, so many like 30 something people with like guaranteed lower back pain just muscling through sitting in that chair for their meal. Yeah, I didn't sit at the chair. I didn't sit at the benches,

the swinging benches or whatever you would call them. But I sat at like a little booth right by the bathroom. And I ate my stuff there. Were you trying to get away with something? Why was that so weird? I ate my soup and sandwich by the toilet. It feels like you're on an airplane

trying to chow down. What's going on? It was just a nice little cozy spot in the one side of the restaurant. You found another nook. I found a cosmic nook to eat my sandwich and my soup. Cosmic nooks. Yeah. I will say, I feel like this place is trying to appeal to millennial parents, question

mark, because it has that vaguely mid-century modern 60s type of aesthetic. But then there is also, the reason why I asked about your bread, Michael, is that at the front counter, they've got these, I want to say, four or five giant lamps that each have white, wheat, rye,

as if you're going to be voting or as if those are specifically where those types of breads come out. So it feels like there's this emphasis on the freshness of the bread. There's this emphasis on that kind of all about the bread, you know, sort of restaurant design,

but, and yet the bread is forgettable. Yes. Forgettable. Yes. There's also a wall of painted metal lunch boxes. Is that right? Right.

I will say that all of you. And you didn't forget it. Yeah. It stuck. I went there doing a thing. You'll notice all these details as long as you're being forced to notice details. Yes. And then this is another thing, how I paid.

I didn't pay with food poisoning, but I paid for being there for way too long because I took my job seriously. Wow. And I took several photos. Wow. Wow. It is a chicken salad. It says tender chicken, apple crisps, arugula, walnut oil on multigrain bread.

So it was the multigrain. I don't know. Do they have a multigrain lamp? They don't. There's not one of these lamps that says multigrain i don't know do they have a multigrain lamp they don't there's not one of these lamps that says multigrain there's also you can get things on texas toast and that's not represented on these lights either so they're not giving you the full scope of it says white rye wheat and then i actually i can't read the last one walnut oil no these are too small for that my problem with this and and this is also connecting

back to like you know menchies and my question of like is this a locals park or not um because i feel like this bread box or at least like the concept of it should be inside the theme park because it is a lunch meal it's like you know the lunch boxes suggest that it is an on-the-go establishment it's an on-the-go meal so i feel like it should be either in the theme park or out of my face yes yes those are the two roads that we find ourselves in the woods you have a place a dream spot for bread box at the universal resort in orlando great question you can demolish an existing thing you could tear down harry potter um the castle and put it there if you want it i don't say that's a good idea but i would say i would think bread box would be at home in the

universal studios not islands of adventure park and i think that there you know the string of eateries next to the richter's burgers um i feel like one of those can be swapped out for bread box and in fact i think there is like a quote unquote new york deli around there that's like right outside one of the bathrooms i think you could swap that out for a bread box and have it be an elevated sandwich. Hey, right by the bathroom, eat like that. I ate it there. I ate my tender chicken at the little nook. I'd sip my little soup, my warm little tomato soup in the nook. Lick up my

walnut oil. I lapped it up. I lapped up the last drop of soup in the corner. Yeah, I think it would be interesting to know, do they use the same multigrain bread across the whole Universal Resort? Is that what it is, or is it actually specific to Breadbox? That would be interesting to know. This is very, I don't think I've ever been so interested to know something. I would like to call and ask a question of our listeners.

If you know, because people know things, if you think they use the same multigrain bread universally at Universal, please let us know. And if you don't, go to all the places that have a sandwich and tell us. Look, taste and take photos. If we don't get an answer on this, I think sector keepers are staying in hell forever.

That's what I think, too. Please, please. We got to know. All the sandwiches that have made everyone sick. There's a rift in the multiverse and there's a rift with the multigrain. We got to solve all the... I think this is... The multigrain of madness.

We're in the multigrain of madness. No, because what flavor from bite to bite is it? You don't know. You don't know. Riffs form. There's holes in my sandwich, just like there's holes in the multiverse. I feel like there's also a lazy pun with bread addict Cumberbatch for the multigrain. Oh, yeah.

Bread addict. Sure. I think you just did. Just to put it out there. If we're doing full Muppet Vision 3D puns. Sure, yeah. This is more thought out than most of the businesses we've talked about. Agreed.

I was just going to say, Jason, did you actually take a look at any of this stuff in the menu or anything? I looked at the menu. I didn't get a chance to eat it. No, I know that. I just wondered. Yeah, because they got a grilled ham and cheese melt. They got a barbecue brisket melt. Steak and cheese melt.

I was just wondering there's new york style pastrami i didn't know if there was something that like it would i like your interest i don't really like beef in barbecue sauce yeah so that would probably rule out the biscuit or brisket ham you don't like a little barbecue sauce on a brisket no really yeah maybe a little dip but i don't get a try tip that much i once in a while get a brisket at the wood ranch over here in burbank dip a little bit in the sauce i move more of a pulled pork hot link guy okay no you're able to dip it it's not coming in slathered so maybe that's the difference that might be yeah yeah yeah i don't like what happens to that bread man it gets like too slow no yeah it just becomes a sponge would they sell a hot link at a jody maroney's

probably right i don't recall i wish i wish jody maroney's could come back to me the sausage kingdom that's my city and sector keeper city walk can i can i share something that is name dropping only to this room yeah please i just remembered that i in middle school so i grew up out here um in the valley and in middle school i knew a kid whose uncle was jody maroney and for some reason he was like yeah i have all these t-shirts do you want to buy one so i like asked my mom to give me the advance of my allowance that week so I could buy a Jodi Maroney t-shirt and wear it proudly to middle school. Oh, wow. And I held on to it for way too long. Do you recall how much?

It must have been like 10 bucks. Oh, okay. I was wondering if you was upcharging kids. 30. Anyway. He wrote on it with marker, before you ask, this was not purchased at the store

like anyone could. This came straight from the nephew. A certificate of authenticity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm basically a Maroney myself. Right, right. Anyway, continue looking at this shirt. I wanted to say that I've not touched greatness,

but I've been one degree from it. Wow. That is an important story for us. One degree from great sausage. Thank you. All right. We're not doing Fallen Brothers for all of them, but this one seems like a good one to park and talk to the Fallen Brother a little bit.

Breadbox opened in 2014. What closed was something called Cigars with a Z. This was the City Walk Cigar Shop. Please tell me the Z was a plume of smoke. Oh, gee. I don't think they were that creative. Uh-uh. They weren't at that level. Hire me! Yeah, yeah, please. No, they were going for

a vibe with the logo that was more classy. It was very classy. That's why you call it cigars with a Z, is when you're chasing class. And I think that the clientele uh was very classy as well from what i could tell from yelp reviews um first of all on the outside and this is some good like city walk nonsense like a car that drove into the room it was just like a big cigar just

jammed into the side of that yeah yeah i appreciate that we like that that's good um but then you know they catered to some like you know this isn't just like tourist cigar rubes you could let you could be a cigar expert and roll into this place um and they did in one review that somebody encourages people to go to other orlando cigar shops including there was a downtown disney one apparently close not too long ago really really like within the last five years four or five years yeah um they say go to this one because there you will be treated as royalty instead of human filth and excrement this is the worst customer service experience i have ever encountered this place is full of low-life trash including the bartending staff it was a bar as well um then so i read that right and then i

was like do these extend to trip advisor and i read another review that was clearly written by the same person in which he continued the tale further he described the people, whoever served them under the names Putz Boy, Hipster, Psycho, then says, my intention is to drive cigars out of business by spreading the gospel of what lousy, rude, and erratic service they have. Now, I told this story a little bit out of order because now I'd like to tell you what it was that was so awful that he says he was treated as human excrement. What happened was he ordered two drinks, one for him and one for his wife. They said, where is your wife? He said, she's out shopping. They said, well, we need to see her ID too. That's the story.

That is the end of the story. Something I'm sure has happened to everyone. It happens at theme parks very often. Don't you know who I am? I'm a husband. I got to put up with this. Now you make me put up with this? So crazy.

Just to confirm, Sosa Family Cigars at Disney Springs says it closed January 2nd, 2023. It had been there for 25 years. Wow. Oh my God. No idea. I run for a cigar store. Well, and you understand why it happened, because they don't treat people like human excrement and check a second ID. The other story, this is a guy named Mr. From Dallas.

All right. Whenever I go on vacation, I smoke a cigar. I knew exactly what I wanted, so I walked into the humidor and grabbed what I wanted. I went back to the counter to check out. They charged me for my cigar, usual price. Usual, because I do this a lot. Lots of cigars. But the girl then prompted to tell me there is a tip line below.

For what? You didn't help me recommend anything. Oh, no. Me being an expert. I walked right in. I got what I knew didn't help me to recommend anything. Oh no. Me being an expert. I walked right in. I got what I knew. I don't owe you anything. You didn't curate a cigar for me. This is not a big deal until I started to walk away and she goes you forgot to tip. I turned around and drew

a big zero across this tip line and wrote no tip in bold across the receipt. I wouldn't be surprised if she'd written one in if I continued to walk away. That's Mr. from Dallas.

So, you know, I know at the top of this episode I said I was proud to be a patriot. I was proud to be your soldier suggesting a U.S. Army army situation i've never felt more un-american in this moment than hearing the biggest that terrible yeah this happened in this country with somebody from this country i want to walk into the sea with rocks in my pockets i want to end it all yeah god sir do you need anything no no i don't i'm here all the time haven't you seen me i'm

going to the urinal to get what i want i even know what the price is you don't have to tell me what it is can i just throw money at your mouth and you just just throw it in your fat pocket and we can be done this tip mr wood suggests what I'm saying, though, that this used to be a place where people would go regularly to hang out. If he's always going and always does what he wants, this is what I'm saying. The old days of City Walk, when locals used to go party there. That's what I'm saying. Up a big stoogey indoors.

Mister has confirmed it as fact. People used to party that were local. Yes. Mr. has confirmed it as fact. People used to party that were local. Yes. Okay. Well, now we've confirmed people who were local who are the worst people on Earth would go. The worst people on Earth used to party at CityWalk.

Real screen name should be the Riddler because every interaction with him is a test. Alright, guys. What are we doing? Yes. Am I out of, what are we doing? Am I out of work as a comedy writer? I'll make a little bit. Time to throw me in coach. I need to dust off these cobwebs.

Anyway, I mean, that's what, so this is unfortunately what we sent you into. You could probably smell the cigar reek. If cigars still existed, would we all have shared uh not shared one but we would all have smoked a cigar walking around the city how would we have how would we have done it would have been like that scene in the sandlot when they all uh chew nicotine and then bark we want a bunch of children try a nicotine product for the first time yeah with with and it would be edited the same, with the same America, that song.

I feel like that's the sequence that I'm seeing. No, I think you're probably right. Jason, cigar? You ever have a cigar? I've never had a cigar, no. Okay. I'm trying to think if I ever puffed on a cigar. I don't know.

My mom would growing up. Yeah. Yeah, with her friends, not like around the house. Scott ever puffed on a cigar? Yeah, like bad cigars in college. That's like a pose in freshman year. Yeah, I do this. I do this all the time.

Ah. Ah. Fuck. To thoroughly cover this sector, we should have brought cigars with us to City Walk. We could always go again. Well, not up Orlando. You're right. I'm truly ready

to go to Moments. Do you want to book, we'll book one right now. We'll go back to Orlando right now, tomorrow? We'll be flying out of Burma. Or tonight. What's going on?

Yeah, maybe. Okay, well, we'll talk about this. I guess for now, I feel like we've, I feel like we've made it to the end here. Boys, boys,

city walk Orlando saga multis of madness we gotta get out of here let's exit through the plug portal Rock, Orlando saga, multi, you've heard somebody saying it right. City Rock, Orlando saga, Multiverse of Madness. We got to get out of here. Let's exit through the plug portal. Is there anything you would like to play? Yes. I wrote on a show called Rock,

Paper, Scissors. It was created by the very funny Kyle Stegina and Josh Lehrman. And we are nominated for an Annie. That means animation award. Since people outside of the animation industry don't really know. It's a good party for the people who do it yeah i think it's gonna be funny and it's coming to paramount plus and i maybe by the time this releases hosting a podcast called the worst place in the world sort of like how did this get made but with theater broad bombs, et cetera, probably featuring a lot of your faves.

And I should also say, cause I also feel like this is a plug. I can only say to this room, but I, so I don't act on screen often, but I recently did and I can't say much about it. I got to be in, let's say a series of marketing things for universal

studios that will that will be seen by people eventually wow and i got to play myself question mark um so stay tuned for that wow as vague as could be i mean you dropped the key detail but yeah uh i will just say that dreams really do come true um shoot for the minion you'll land among the stars wow the star way but uh but yeah stay they stay tuned oh that's fantastic i feel a deep connection to universal not only being the young pope of CityWalk, but perhaps the ambassador. That is exciting. That's very exciting. Well, yeah.
