So, yeah, tell us where we're going today. Yes, boys. Today's sector is sector 16. Subway, Panda Express, Smashburger, Poke Bar, Taco Bell, Pinks, KFC Express, Pizza Hut. It's a food court. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, that's what's interesting.

This thing was added, I think, in around 2000. They added this area called City Food. City Food. Which there wasn't really a lot of quick service options. Yeah. And it's near City Loft would be considered part of the food court area. Or are you, sorry, Secretary. Yeah, you keep going.

Keep going. Are you sure? You seem like disinterested. Yeah, you know, it's a food court, so you guys get it you guys get it right yeah i mean it's like the taco bell stuff i mean i could talk though about like there's slight differences between like this taco bell and the one i for instance that's in burbank here that i go to and i did a lot i looked up a lot about uh pinks i have a story about where when i got into like a car accident at the other the pinks off of melrose and we have like pages of material sure i have a very funny picture

from the Smashburger. Hey boys, here's the stone. Section 16 stone is, I don't know, like a napkin or something. We just get the stone already? No one wants to really hear about this. Sure, I think the audience

would be thrilled to hear. You give me strength. Okay, yeah, we give you strength. Oh, all right. So that's it. So we just skipped the sector? Yeah, you skipped the sector. I don't think we skipped it.

Well, it's actually 2024. Oh. I just wanted to, you didn't know that. I'm still writing 2023 on my podcast episode. Jason, Jason, these guys don't even know what year they're coming from. This is so strange. Listen up. Are you here with your lackadaisical attitude your 2018

carefree easygoing ways thinking oh that'd be funny if we just skipped the sector this time surely that won't have any consequences wrong you're dead wrong you're wrong and that's why we're back you i'm looking at you little one who me Who, me? Yeah, you. What did I do? You gave him a napkin and you said it was a stone. Yeah, so? I don't know. I was just trying to move things along. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You caused a rift. Hey, hey, go, go, go. Let me at him, let me at him. Stay apart. I'm going to beat your little ass. I know our hands are just going right through them, but we have to, okay, okay. I'm sorry we came in hot,

but we have to keep things civil. We're doing this for the good of everyone and for the entire multiverse. Hey, sorry, this is 2018 Scott here. First of all, are you doing another one of these? You're doing like another daily City Walk series? Is that what you're telling me? Even after this one that we're doing, you still think that's a good

idea? Yes, yes, we are. You got a problem with that? And we did another one before. You gotta go do the Downtown Disney one, okay? Spoiler alert. We're still doing the podcast in 2024? I thought we'd be done in like 2019. Yeah, I know. I thought we were, yeah. I mean, we just gotta get through like Pirates and Space Mountain and then we're done with this podcast in 2024 i thought we'd be done in like 2019 yeah i know i thought

we're yeah i mean what we just got to get through like pirates and space mountain and then we're done with this whole thing right well no listen the media landscape is constantly shifting and like podcasting is actually one of the more stable parts of no that's not what we want to hear oh my god 2024 jason you're giving me the worst news i could ever get hold on if i can just interrupt for a second hey 2018 jason what's up playboy okay listen i can't tell you what the cane is um just uh you go to the octomore also you can talk to more than one people at once on the dating did you know that i yeah hey it's 2018 jason no i didn't know i thought that'd be rude like i i don't want to be impolite. You know what?

Men are so terrible. Like a couple of converse say, you know what? This is getting complicated now. I'm confused. I just really quickly want to point out that we're back here to solve some sort of rift in the multiverse. And immediately Jason just tried to help get himself laid a lot more. Yeah, that's interesting. We have important work to do, but jason is trying to hook up 2018

jason 2024 jason here i'm just trying to put your mind at ease and like don't worry so much you know but you are still not to spoil things for 2018 jason you do end up in a relationship yeah i mean you're not trying to stop that relationship you're just trying to get your 2018 dick just have a little fun worry less you know oh hey it's 2018 jace do i meet someone hey 2024 jason yeah you meet a lovely lady and you guys actually do move in together it's really fun oh cool hey in 2018 sector keeper you get to live with them for a while too oh that's good yeah this is something we really got to work at you got to find somewhere else to go This has been fun But it's a lot of days

We're up to 20 days We just added one Where we had to time travel Right You gotta find your own place At some point I'm working on it I'm working on it

Hey can I give 2018 Sector Keeper A couple of tips too Absolutely It means a lot No riffs I'm not gonna Shake things up

Sure yeah Alright man You're gonna have An opportunity At Cr cricket wireless it's gonna look good on paper you're not gonna get paid they're gonna call it an internship there's no health insurance but they're gonna offer you course credit you're gonna get course credit in college do not take it okay do not take it also shortly after that in around 2020 sometime in 2023 you are gonna play the powerball oh yeah that's a big one yeah are you listening to this one 2018 this

is what this is what it's all about do not play it um what's the powerball okay we don't have time for this shit let's just move it along yeah yeah. Yeah, we have to get to what we have to get. So, all right. Are you listening? Are you listening? Look us in the eye and say you're listening. Yes, yes, we're listening. Dear God.

Yes, yes, we're listening. We're listening. All right. You sit back and you listen to us as we fix this. We are going to force you to do the sector that you should have done a long time ago. And give me that napkin. Give me that.

That wasn't really the stone. We didn't get this. So there's still a stone to get. Wait a minute. There's a little barbecue sauce on this. Somebody used this? Okay. 2018, Jason?

Or was it the other? We've actually been passing it back and forth. Some of it's old and some of its new barbecue well look well a lot of things change many things stay the same barbecue sauce is still a tasty condiment you know wait a minute there's a phone number on this thing too i think 2024 is trying to hook up 2018 jason with some 2018 girl yeah and. And look on 2018 Jason's notebook he scribbled out City Walk and wrote Pussy Walk.

Oh, that's crass. That's something we don't even say on this show a lot. Look, you know. Hey, 2018 us, we're still prudes. No, no, no. 2024 ones too. Yes, we're all fucked by Jason Baker. I don't like it. 2024 Mike here, I don't like reading it off the notebook. Hey, it's 2018, Jason.

I was just trying to take ladies to City Walk like Jason Schwartzman does at the beginning of Shop Girl. Hey, it's 2024, Jason. You're actually supposed to just reach for, you know, Jason Schwartzman at the end of Shop Girl. He's not, you know, a desirable character at the beginning of the movie. Oh, hey, it's 2018, Jason. I didn't really think about that.

Now that you say that, it's been a little while since I saw it in theaters. Hey, yeah, it's 2024, Jason. Yeah, the book was better than the movie. We got stuff to get to, though. We can't just talk about Steve Martin's novels. The rift is now bigger than ever. Oh, shit, okay. All right, we better start, yeah. All that Shop Girl ever. Oh, shit. Okay. All right. We better start.

All that shop girl talk. Oh, he's going to start coughing so much. Yes, look. All of us, no matter what year we're from, we know that Shop Girl is the most relatable reference. Everyone knows the arc of Jason Schwartzman, no matter what year you're in. Right. That maintains.

It's even stronger in 2024. I just thought a tangent about steve martin's fiction work would help heal the rift yeah you're right hey 2018 scott i liked it i like i think you know we're gonna get through this thing together we all gotta be friends you can't come at us with this attitude we're rattled okay remember it's 2018 we're in the middle of the trump administration okay use kid gloves on us things are terrible right now and i don't see how they could possibly get worse so please just be nice to let's should we 2020 should we just not we should what are you guys murmuring about no nothing no nothing no it's

fine okay let's 20 24 scott we're gonna get down to business we have to handle this so due to what you all did not covering this set just doing a flippant brush off there's cosmic consequences and besides the cosmic consequences and this is real do you realize what happened by you doing such a short episode a little four minute episode that's just a theme and then a little bit of talking and then the forever dog stuff at the end you left a bizarre sliced up husk of an episode that has tons of ad breaks even though it's only four minutes long do you realize that listeners have pointed this out over the years that it's a four minute episode that i think still has three entire ad like it works it's insane you left a really sloppy

piece in an otherwise completely tight perfect saga i was just trying to give my good boys a break but sometimes it feels bad to be bad well uh let's let the 2024 sector keeper uh do this with force to make sure that we're all on the same page. Because 2018 said the city food list in a really flippant way. So 2024, Keeper, say it like you mean it. I'm saying it like I mean it. We're going to fix this riff together. All eight of us.

All right. You guys in? In. In. In. In. In. In.

In. And everybody heard eight perfect voices all at once right then. In. In. In. In. In. And everybody heard eight perfect voices all at once right then. Okay, so let's hear it. Here we go. Boys, boys from 2018. Boys, boys from 2024. Today is phase seven, sector two, which is also City Walk Saga sector 16.

City food. Subway. Panda Express, Smash Burger, Poke Bar, Taco Bell, Pink's, KFC Express, and Pizza Hut. Good luck, double boys. Very good. I think now there's no mistaking what we have to do and jason's jason's give me that napkin why because you tucked it on you tucked it into your shirt like you're about to eat again oh we have to focus okay give me here it is all right i'm throwing that in a city walk trash can and now we commence okay okay finally discuss the subway that everyone has been waiting for six years to hear about.

It's 2024, Jason. There has been some changes just since we've done that. Jesus Christ. I know. I know. What? What do you mean? It's okay.

It's okay. Like the majority of city food remains untouched. Okay. But the smash burger became a habit burger that's a downgrade but the subway became a firehouse subs that's an upgrade yes i would have to say firehouse subs those words mean nothing to my primitive 2018 brain right what is it i can't picture that brand at all well 2024 you want to fill them in? I don't know. It's like themed after the fire department. There's a painting on the wall of the Universal Fire Station,

which is something that you could see on the tour. Yeah, I remember. Yeah, I know you do. And there's like a Dalmatian. No, wait. It's like a raccoon is looking in a bucket. Yeah, hi. This is 2024, Jason.

I actually learned a little about Firehouse Subs because I'd never been before, so I went and ate there. Yes, yes, the rift is mending. I can't believe any of the eight of us still have the capacity to just earnestly talk about one of the sandwich places. Go on, Jason, go on.

Sure, I had a tuna salad sub, and I got the combos. i got chips and a drink uh i kind of fucked up i just got a small and as you can see i basically paid for like a quarter of a sub it is smaller than a kaiser roll it comes in it you're showing us like a it's a burger container that's not long like a sub in, the food you eat still looks like that? Well, in 2024, I'm trying to eat less meat, and I have started eating more fish. The photo looks bad, man.

It was really good. No, it was actually really tasty. I think Jason just took a shitty photo. I did take a shitty photo because it was windy up there, and the wind kept catching the paper so there is still wind in your time you're saying still windy as shit up on the top of that hill

so we have to talk about city food the area there is one of the windiest places on planet earth it's like at the top of Mount Everest the Himalayas because it's on top of the entire already you're on top of a hill and then you're even more the top of Mount Everest, the Himalayas. Because it's on top of the entire, already you're on top of a hill, and then you're even more on top of the hill. It can be 85 degrees in Los Angeles, but on city food,

it'll be like negative five degrees up there. The wind chill is like negative five. The wind chill is such that you are always needing a jacket up there, even in the dead heat of summer. The windy city walk. Yes. That is a thing I forgot. I was wearing a sweatshirt or something yesterday.

I was walking right through people, and I didn't feel a thing. Your temperature, if you inhabit somewhere, that's got to be freezing. That's got to be sub-zero. Yeah. I'm like negative 100 Kelvin. So we needed, I found a table up there in in the sun because it's the only way you can survive right like it's like gutting an animal or something in the middle of a tundra that sun lasted for about 10 minutes before it was entirely in the shade yes the shade it moves fast up there

because you're at such an elevation 2018 scott here really quick again you've okay i i think it's weird enough that you're doing city walk orlando but the premise of city walk orlando you thought of more reasons to keep going to where we've been going every day are you out of your goddamn 2024 minds uh the thing is uh uh 2018 scott uh doing that saga only links all of your personas, your public personas, to CityWalk in a stronger way. And that actually will translate to you loving it even more. Yeah. So we can't avoid it anymore?

You're saying that me, Scott Gairdner, am now synonymous with CityWalk on some level? Much like CityWalk. Well, kind of. But it also becomes even more convenient to get up there if you can imagine what do you mean convenient well we're we're recording closer to it if you can believe that is true a lot of the time so hey hey pretty good news pretty good yes no i'm glad to hear my life has not progressed beyond city walk hollywood in any way in six years 2024 scott have you not

like sold a show by now like why aren't you busy why don't you go sell something to comedy central or tbs or ifc or adult swim or any of the thriving hubs of adult animated content hey it's 2018, Jason. What about CISO? Oh, let's just say fallen brother. Oh, well, we all saw that coming on launch day. 2018, Scott, I've got a lot of bad news for you. I don't want to bum anybody out with it, but I will give you a chilling warning of just one word, quibby. Oh, God, I don't want to begin to know what that means. Okay, okay.

That sounds weird. 2018 Michael says it sounds weird. Look, it doesn't mean any more to know what that means. Okay, okay. That sounds weird. 28C Michael says it sounds weird. Look, it doesn't mean any more to me than it does to you. Is that what replaces mince cheese? No, no, no. Weirdly, it's a place where you can take quick bites, but not of frozen yogurt. Oh.

Yeah. I'm sure we'll all understand eventually. Absolutely. It's going gonna be a strange time okay please proceed whichever mike was talking oh well uh i'm more about firehouse thank god 2024 jason has more to say about firehouse subs uh yeah you know they they give a lot of money to firehouses they've also been doing a lot of donations uh to natural when there's natural disasters and stuff did you open did you open up their books uh-huh do you know how much oh i uh open up their

like uh bar rescue open up their books yeah 2024 i'm asking you yeah did you so you did they say it on the website that they're looking that they're donating money to uh fire stations across the country no i was just kind of watching there's this genre of youtube video that's mostly stock footage with narration and they're like another thing you know about firehouse subs produced by firehouse subs no 2024 jason it seems like your viewing habits are fascinating yeah you got quite a quite a life awaiting you, 2018 Jason. Question from both sector keepers. How many of those views are yours? Oh, just the handful.

You know, sometimes I take a nap or I'm falling asleep. It's pretty good. You go backwards and watch these stock footage videos again? Well, no, I just like the company man guy. That's the one user, 2018 Jason. Oh, okay. I'll check that out. Yeah, I think it was still

making videos back then anyway uh i got into some jason level hijinks like oh did you get the big cookie 2024 jason no 2018 jason uh i opted for a drink and i got the limited time tropical cherry limeade and pretty quickly realized i was mostly drinking a soda machine syrup, and they gave me a very large cup. I actually probably had more syrup and chips than I did tiny little sandwich. You had a tiny sandwich and a side of syrup? And you want to talk about this? Like, well, let me make sure I do ample time about their charitable efforts. I do have to say, like, the sandwich was delicious.

Like, they used a lot of high-quality ingredients in Firehouse Subs. Hey, it's 2018, Jason. That's been a complaint I've always had about Subway. Hey, yeah, 2024, Jason, here. Like, yeah, it is an upgrade. You two get along so well. I want to point out that this is

just unusual because he was not expecting to eat just syrup and chips if he was expecting it for a snack it would have been fine yeah it was the surprise that was the problem not the syrup it was not his normal syrup and chips snack well i think i i was uh expecting a cherry lime ricky which usually has carbonation and cherry limeade is just uh i guess syrup or juice i should have tried this i should have tried your cherry lime cherry lime rickies for lunch so 2024 jason still from 1924 something never changed i will say though a knock against this firehouse subs they uh are known for having hot sauce bars like different hot sauces you can put on your sandwiches

and this one didn't have that hey it's 2018 jason that's kind of disappointing i like those hot sauce stories hey 2024 jason i like them a lot too but you gotta watch out for your tummy troubles you know no version of you jason will ever watch out for your tummy troubles when are you gonna understand that that will never be a year where your tummy is properly protected it's 2018 jason look you only live once 2024 scott jason volunteered to be a volunteer firefighter when he was up there as long as he still got some sub perks Do I get paid in sandwiches? I have an answer for the percentage

That it's donated It's.075% of purchases In 2024 at Firehouse Subs locations To the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation For the purchase of life-saving equipment. 0.05%? 0.075.

0.075%. So that's okay. So that's 0.000... Wait, what? This is not an impressive number to me. 0.07, so it's like... I think it's like, is that 7 cents on a dollar? 7 cents on a dollar is not bad if that's what it is. But if you 0.07 a percentage, that's 0.0007.

No, I see what you're saying. It is actually worse, I think. Yes. Well, let's do some math here. Maybe we don't know. Then we'd have to know how much Firehouse Subs makes. Well, no, I'm just saying we can... 0.0, what did I say?

7.5? Look, I was mostly excited because they had a tuna salad sandwich with no celery in it. Oh, yeah, it's 2018, Jason. I don't like celery in my tuna salad. 2024, Jason, that remains the same. So it's hard to find it at restaurants. So you got to jump on it when you can tell they don't have it. Don't spoil to your past self that there hasn't been any evolution in your celery habits.

He's got to have some things waiting for him. Yeah. I guess that's true. Fun surprises. I like celery. This is, again, 2018. Scott, are you sure people are still listening to this show? You're looking up percentages and saying, I like celery.

Yeah, dude, Scott, people are paying for it now. Wow, that's great. We're doing it for free. Why were you doing it for free? You did the entire original Stegawag saga for free? Again, you guys are insane. Not just for free, right?

You're helping me, right? Oh, yeah. We're helping me, right? Oh, yeah. We're helping you. But the thing is, just to put your mind at ease in case you think we've changed, both CityWalk sagas have put us in the red. Wow, I didn't even know that was possible. Whichever, Jason, is that true? I don't think it is.

CityWalk Hollywoodwood it definitely is city walk or london maybe less so maybe at this point we're back to break when jason says put us in the red he means put us in the syrup that he loves so much the red the syrup he meant it as a good thing yeah the shade of our vomit uh in the toilet after we eat at some of these you can now afford fancier syrup yeah red syrup we got to keep moving can i just say uh this subway got two stars on yelp so it probably makes sense that it went away it's a bad so it was always a bad subway i think i maybe had it once or twice subway is bad now yeah i feel like it used to be better um just for you guys in 2018 there was a big thing about like how awful the tuna is and then mike still defended the subway tuna after that i love that

subway tuna when it's good it's good and i'm sometimes it's less good but whatever like mayonnaise they're putting in there it really hits a spot for me all right am i being possessed by the spirit of jason sheridan again like i was earlier maybe i am feeling but the tuna i can eat a foot long tuna right now especially you put a little honey mustard on that thing give it to me right now i would eat all of it i'll leave the recording and do it jason i've eaten a lot of that tuna too hey it Hey, it's 2024, Jason. I'm eating Subway tuna, but I would still give it a shot. For you 2018 guys, here is a headline. Judge rules that Subway can be sued over claims that its tuna sandwiches contain other fish species or animal products. That it's not technically tuna.

And yet the tuna consumption continues unabated well that actually sounds like you're getting a deal that's what i'm saying you're getting a big smorgasbord of different fish it's actually delicious probably fancier fish than tuna is what i'm guessing they're putting high quality fish and they don't want to make you feel like you're snooty for eating subway tuna oh now it's a fisherman's catch menu huh yes every all the best of a little squid like a high level squid might be in there mixed with different pieces like hundred dollar fish i assume a high level squid intelligence wise skills wise what's it how does a squid become a high high taste level a high a high premium taste is really what i meant by that

yeah premium squid that's what i'm talking about and that's yeah they don't specify what it is i if they're saying it's bottom feeders here's the thing they're delicious bottom feeders if it's a flounder or something oh maybe it's crab with a k i love imitation crap hey it's 2018 jason i love imitation crap too yeah that doesn't really change if anything you get more of the imitation crap oh cool hey 2018 mike here a question for both jasons i guess uh has any food thing changed preference wise is there some sort of 2024 jason's anything new you're really into in these last six years oh well i've been eating like uh more vegetarian and vegan entrees trying to eat less beat like i have less

how did your food get crazier type of soup or anything or soup yeah i got a target pickup with some soup liquids what kind of liquids are you drinking oh i'm drinking more a little more soda oh really i thought you cut out soda Oh, yeah, yes, 24-hour mic here Well, I'm kind of treating it like a treat He was trying to drink more soda is what he said yesterday's episode That he was doing his best to drink more You know, there's been a lot of innovation

In the zero category of soda Oh, I like that, yeah Jason's giving up Giving up soda for Lent Lent. Lent will be a time of extra soda. Extra sodas. Hey, remember how the 2018 Sector Keeper did that thing more often where he coughed and got weak because we weren't moving on fast enough?

You still got that in you, 2018? Yes. Yes. Sweet. Oh, that cough sounds awful. But it's exacerbated by because future me smells i think that's the parliament's bud parliament yeah like britain's congress well that is parliament but i i mean the cigarettes with the recess filter oh yeah those are used to be very

popular with pilots because they would chew on the thing. Yeah, I always tell that anecdote. 2018 Jason is not going to need these dating apps. You two are going to walk off hand in hand together. Yeah, look at their holding hands. Wow, they are. They're holding hands. You can't see it just because it's under a table. at least we know it's not like a time cop situation you guys can touch each other

and nothing you know bad as far as we know yeah nothing is wow but yeah sitting here new saga same old jason the sagas may change but jason stays the same well one thing that's luckily stayed the same is Panda Express. There's one where we don't have to talk about a replacement. Yes, this gives me strength in 2018. Go, boys, go. You guys, Panda Express never left. So this review counts for all of us.

One and a half stars on Yelp. And that's current. And we've already done a Panda Express in this same saga. Are there any original new thoughts about this particular Panda Express? It's more expensive. Windy? A little windier? Well, it's certainly windier. It's windier than the one at Alun

Boulevard right down the road. All the different establishments here have to have doors open constantly because I think if they didn't, there would just be this wind tunnel suck every time the door was open and it would blow the people behind the desk out like out like into the fryer or something you get tornadoes of noodles yeah i think you would have constant tornadoes of all the food they're going 300 miles an hour they're whipping my face i'm getting cut up by fast noodles a hatch into space, just like... You open the door, the Pizza Hut employee is sucked out

into the middle of the city walk by the movie theater. Yeah, Tip, if you're going up there, help these employees out. Try to do your transactions from under the door. Just yell your order, slip your card under. If you can do it without opening the door, you're going to save lives. You know, a lot of them have the buzzer that vibrates when it's time to pick up your food. hard under don't if you can do it without opening the door you're gonna save lives if you know they a lot of them have the buzzer that vibrates when it's time to pick up your food i'm wondering if that's like oh we we don't want to give you the paper receipt with a number it'll just blow away

it'll be gone so they needed a buzzer is heavier yeah they probably might have multiple buzzers at one point they probably contemplated printing uh the receipts on heavier paper so that they wouldn't blow away but it probably wasn't cost well then that just cuts up people as it like gets blown yeah they printed it on like um like a piece of leather or something like a heavy piece of leather that's what your receipt would be and just and that printer that your stores have to have that every store up there has to have a leather printing receipt printer you have to brand it it'd be a craftsman there'd be some sort of old school craftsman up there oh the brander that's city walk brander why do you have this uh you know because of the wind wait why because of the whip because we use leather receipts as you know and and over there is the uh that's the City Walk cattle range.

That's where the cows are slaughtered to make the constant, not the food. The burgers don't come from there. We slaughter those cattles just to make receipt leather. And over yonder, you could ride a mechanical cattle years ago. Oh, yeah. Bad news. Saddle Ranch goes away. Yeah.

Oh, too bad. That's one ride that's gone. Fallen Brother? Fallen Brother. And there are, oh, God, I don't even know where to begin with the Fallen Brother. There's so many Fallen Brothers awaiting you guys. Yeah. You know what?

Actually, if I could say anything to you guys from 2018, appreciate the stores that you have. Yeah. You complained about going to those water coffins but what if that was the last chance you ever got whoa let that sit with you i mean that seems okay that seems like something i don't want to do again no you and your fucking attitude 2018 scott keep it in your pocket uh-oh these two now this is a will will they won't yeah these two are holding hands and these two have to be separated. Start of the romantic comedy. The leads

often don't like each other, but then they end up. 2018 SK here. So water coffins are gone, which also means employee who gives free head rubs is gone too. 2024 Mike here. Yeah, I was just remembering

this, that we were touched A lot By the employee At this Establishment But if you want to get excited There's like A tiny Tilly's coming

Ooh Tilly's Wow The future is bright Isn't it Yep it sure is Was that Panda Express Did we do it

Yeah I think it was yes all right can we move on to smash burger two and a half stars on yelp anyone wait a minute jason you referred to a funny picture you had from there is that true i think that was just a lie just like that entire episode was a lie 2018 like jason Jason, we had a conversation before this podcast but no lies. I'm sorry. No lies. That makes his heart hurt. I know.

I just got so overwhelmed eating all those Smash Burgers. Is that a lie? That's a different type of burger. He's lying again.

He keeps lying. He's lying again. He's never that overwhelmed eating any of this. It's kind of reasonable size yeah i i like smash burger unfortunately became the habit which i don't think is as good well if we're going mathematically on this smash burger two and a half stars on yelp the habit two and a half stars on yelp so it's a lateral move in terms of the public's feelings i don't i can't really i've

never i never had smash burger so i can't say I don't like that Their name Was just one word All run together When I was checking The sector assignments It bothered me I thought we made a Typo

But we didn't I like it You like it? I like it too We both like it Yeah I think it's kind of cool Honestly

That's two Actually four Because we both like it Oh you're right 2018 Jason You said we Before he even chimed in. Are you sharing?

Are you turning into one person? Well, we both really like Smashburger, you know? Yeah, I know, but are you using one consciousness now? Yeah, look, they're both holding the same firehouse sub. It's like when an avatar

links with Mighty Acron. No, with it mighty acron no the hair brand or the hair band yeah yeah we bought a large because it's easy to share and it's more cost effective than getting two individuals they're speaking in unison oh my god these two they are minutes away from lady in the trampinging. Yeah. We're going to meet in the middle of the pickle that you get included with your firehouse sub. I'm going to do a real test of 2018, Mike, because you don't know the context of this. You ever seen the movie Dinosaur? Let me show you a picture. Let me show you.

I know the character. This is a baby named Baby Aladar. What do you think about this? What adjectives would you use to describe this dinosaur? Oh, my God. That baby dinosaur from the movie Dinosaur. Honestly, I'm having this weird feeling. All my life, I never wanted to have a child.

But seeing Baby Aladar has kind of unlocked something in me something profound i need to have children because of how cute that dinosaur is oh my god that's what did it i think i need to go i think i need to be planning for my future i think i need to leave this no no stick around at least until the end of the episode and then family plan. 2024 Mike here. Yeah, also I want to tell you about the fact that this toy company makes all of the Mighty Mutanimals

in the future. 2018. Holy shit! Are you kidding me? You're talking about Man Ray, Dreadmon, and Jaguar? Yeah, yeah, I'm talking about them. Oh my God. This is, I can't.

I'm going to have to lie down. can't I'm gonna have to lie down 2018 Michael's gonna have to lie down right now there's so much I'm gonna have a child and I'm gonna own plastic Mighty Mutant Animals oh my god I'm lying down that's right and you're doing another city walk series 2024 is a

that's good too perfect bliss holy shit it only gets better all right do we do we have any observation do we have one observation about one of these burger places 2024 i michael says i like smash burger in general you can like kind of fool me with a burger if it's smash burger i like the patties steak and shake has always had a smash burger which is where i think yeah i prefer a thinner burger i i'm okay with the fat burger and a thin burger.

It doesn't matter. But I think my preference is thinner patties. You know what? I don't like, though, that a thing that's called on is people make smash burgers and then give you a few patties. That just makes a fat patty. It's just, yeah, you're just stacking them up, 2024 Jason. That defeats the purpose if they're thin and smashed.

Here's the thing, though, about it is that if you can put the ingredients in between the smashed patties, then I think you're getting different sort of flavor profiles. Yeah, that's okay. That's okay. But if you're going to, I agree with you, if you're going to stack them, what's the point? You may as well just have one big, thick piece of meat. Sure. 2024, Scott, you're still putting up with this?

Oh, you have no idea. 2018, Scott, just be glad they haven't started getting into the CVS coupons yet. That's what it becomes. Yeah, a lot of times. Many, many times. Is this still a theme park podcast? No. You're looking at it. We would pivot a full mickey rooney podcast if we could

we'd have to go back way before the city walks saga to make sure this stays a theme park podcast today's episode is the space mountain but let's first imagine what mickey rooney would be like if you wrote it wait a minute you guys haven't done space mountain wait that doesn't make sense 2018 scott i just got an email from that guest you've been wanting to have on that really funny comedian he says he wants to do space mountain that you know uh jay johnston why haven't why haven't we locked that in yet why are we are we should space mountain with jay johnson what about poke bar well there's been a change with Poke Bar 2, I'm afraid to say. Yes, Poke Bar got upgraded to Uncle Sharky Poke Bar. Not Uncle Shark 2, like I was saying for days.

And it's actually Uncle Sharky with two days. You were saying that because it looks like Roman numerals. Yeah, I thought it was Roman numerals. I thought it was Uncle Shark 2. Uncle Shark without his face. I thought maybe it was a second location. They actually have a lot of locations, a number of which are in Walmarts. Yeah, I don't know if I would trust that.

You wouldn't trust a restaurant in Walmart, but Mike over there lit up at just the sight of a new Taco Bell in a Walmart. In the Buena Park Walmart. In the Buena. Oh, spoiler alert for young you. Yeah, sorry. He's still lying on the ground. He's overwhelmed.

He's mumbling characters from the Archie Ninja Turtle line in almost like a haze. He's just like, it's your old. Fulminator X. Belly bomb. Uncle Sharky's. Poke. Uncle Sharky's. Poke Boba Tea. And Dole Soft Serve. So you can get Dole Whip at Universal CityWalk Hollywood now.

In different flavors. Now, I did go up and eat. I was like, all right, we got to go back to the food court. I'll go get something. I do really like Poke. And I thought's you know i'll give that a go um after everything that's happened for now 20 days of this saga i am so nervous about food i'm so nervous about getting food at any of these locations what why you'll see in six years you're practically you're probably seeing right now but you'll forget um so i did a couple things just to

like secure my just to get more confident about this entire thing the reason i knew that there were ones in walmart is like i was like okay if i'm gonna get raw fish at City Walk, I need to make sure this is a real restaurant with other locations. Because after this Orlando saga, no more of these fake restaurants that Universal invented that don't exist anywhere else. No more of these bread boxes and these toothsomes. The owner of a restaurant I go to cannot be Universal Studios. They're a theme park and movie company they make terrible restaurants so i was relieved to find it actually was a relief to me that there are other locations inside walmart yeah added to their credibility oh okay they also had a cute

story of like oh and it started when some a family member an uncle a kid had, an uncle, a kid he'd ever met, gave her a stuffed shark. And then they were like, oh, well, that's really cute. And hey, what if we open that restaurant? That, you know, there is some myth making that's pretty charming. What a story. Yeah, and they're, hey, there, you got a toy there, you see? Yeah, that's right.

There you go. Take a, he's got a stuffed animal. Apparently, they're trying to you know they're they're bringing their hawaiian cuisine they said hawaiian uh you know food and yeah yeah they sure did well what they brought was uh you know the worst poke i've had in a while but but not poke that made me specifically sick oh good and that is where the bar is at this point. But I was also like, I had a pitch meeting not long after. And so I didn't remember that until I had the poke bowl in front of me.

And I'm just like, I was like trembling with the chopsticks. I'm like, this is going to be where it happens. I'm going to get one more food poisoning on the way out the door of this never infinite saga. By the way, guys, it's infinite. We don't know. You should,

you should luxuriate in your only 19 series. We don't know when this one is going to end. We still don't know. Infinite. Infinite. That's what you told away. No, not you.

The future. You told me it's infinite. Well, what's happening? Have you all lost your minds in 2024? Yes, we have. And you'll see why in the next couple of years. Again, why don't you, like, Scott, you said you had a pitch meeting.

Haven't you guys, in all of these years, Scott, Mike, and Jason, haven't you all been busy doing a ton of writing and acting? Surely it's been a fruitful run for all of that stuff um yeah it's been okay yeah no not not so bad uh no long pause no multiple long pauses and all multiple what yeah man you're gonna meet a very charming very sexy man named Sam Bankman Fry. Oh, well, he sounds like an interesting character. And no matter what I tell you,

he's irresistible and that path can't be changed. Oh yeah, everybody in 2018, learn the phrase NFTs and then forget the phrase NFTs. That'll all wrap itself up nicely.'re gonna be very tempted to invest heavily in crapopolis nfts crapopolis this phrase is unfamiliar to me oh you'll know it it's ubiquitous in 2024 oh okay

i look i didn't get sick is the point, but truly the terror. Now I go into any of these situations assuming and expecting the worst. Aaron said you might be the only person to ever have mental food poisoning. You had pre-

psychosomatic food poisoning. Well, that's why I got a tiny little sandwich. Hey, Mike got a bubble. Well, that's why I got a tiny little sandwich. Hey, Mike got a bubble tea there, right? I did get a lemonade strawberry bubble tea with boba in it. And I've talked before on the show, I'm not a big boba guy, but I did try the boba. And this was much sweeter than whatever soda syrup you were drinking. This was so sugary boba can be

very i could not believe it and it was like it was almost like twice the sugar of like a normal piece of candy when i would bite into the boba 2018 mike's looking at 2024 mike is like too sweet what's the fucking problem with that that sounds good i'm looking forward to that yeah it's just the problem with it was just i mean the looking forward to that yeah it's just the problem with it was just i mean the whole i i did a lot i was going for a lot as far as food is concerned i wanted to sample different things um but it was just not what i needed at that moment i needed something less sweet i think you sound like you get fucking old and lame well i mean yeah to some degree i can. I've said on this saga

specifically, sometimes I can't deal with the sugar like I used to be. Oh, man. That's really... Oh, God. But the Mighty Mutant Animals are still coming out? Yeah, yeah. They're coming out. Don't worry. Alright. Well, something to look forward to, I guess. Yeah, 2018 Mike's a sugar

fiend. He's the one who was licking the rim of the Bubba Gump drink in a car. Oh, yeah, I remember when you were doing that. He's still got it. He's doing it. You kept it? That was two weeks ago, dude. I'm licking this rim.

There's no little crystals on it. It's a sugar rim. You know there's no alcohol, right? You've learned that by now. Yeah, it's better than there's no alcohol. I like that it's just sugar. It's 2018, Jason. Don't hog all the rim.

You want to hit it, brother? Yeah, I do, brother. You know I do. 2018, Jason. 2018, Mike. And 2024, Jason. They're all sucking rim. They're all doing some kind of weird yeah it's searching a little like

rim job happening today jason 2018 jason scratched out pussy walking road city rim on his notebook city i don't he wrote it i'm just saying what he did hey this 20 24 jason i would probably write rim walk oh okay i see yeah that's that saves everything 2024 mike you gotta you gotta step in and stop this i think you've become more of a prude than when you started i went back and listened to that secret 2021 that we did during the pandemic what was was that? Don't worry about it. And in that episode, we talked about the weird masks we had to put on. Masks, don't worry about it. And Jason said it was like weird, like it was like a vending machine panties or something.

And then Mike in 2020 said, all harumphy, is this the debut of the word panties on Podcast The Ride? Now here we are saying rim job willy nilly. You got to put some order in this whole thing. It was the debut of the word panties. I was just pointing out that it was a historical moment in the show, I think. You said it with a lot of attitude. Well, it was the pandemic.

Don't worry about what that is. Well, technically now. Hey, Jason here. Let me just cut in. Where is this vending machine? Hey, it's 2024, Jason. Like, it was a metaphor. Don't worry about it.

He scratched out City Room and wrote Panty Walk. The dating apps that new Jason is talking about don't show you the location of panty vending machines in Los Angeles okay dating is one thing those you're gonna have to find on your own frankly I don't know where they are in this city I don't either we're good boys pure and clean boys

just to say now is technically the debut of panty if you think about it oh you're right oh so it wasn't. You're wrong. We've now said Panty on the show in 2018. That's right.

Wow. That's cool. That's cool. Hey, man, that's some Mecca shit, right? We can set up all sorts of things from back here, actually. That's a good point. This is for 2018, Mike. There is a 15 year old actress

in your time who's on a disney channel show called bazaard vark her name is olivia rodrigo she goes on to make some music that is the key to future mike being cool so whatever you do finish the entire album okay all right quickly though. Quickly, though, can I take six months to finish it? I'm worried if you pause, it'll never get done. I'm just trying to help prevent something

in the future. All right, I'll listen to it all at once. And don't forget to watch all of Bizaardvark. Oh, yeah. One of the Paul boys is in it.

Okay, and I have to watch all that? Yeah, you gotta watch all that, because they don't go away, Jake and Logan Paul. If anything, they become more prominent. Oh, right, they were on that. Oh, God, they do.

Wait, wait, Jake and Logan? Yeah. It's like they're keepers learning about pop culture. Oh, there's so many horrors for you to learn about. Okay, don't tell him about whether he's in the Logang or Team 10 because at some point, he's gonna have to choose which brother

boys, boys, 24 sector keeper speaking. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

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

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Take us a taco bell. You're slowly closing the riff. Okay. Yeah.

What KFC pizza? Okay. Was it the same back then? It's that it's not a Taco Bell KFC Pizza Hut right there's a Taco Bell and then

there's something else and then there's a KFC Pizza Hut but it's not one of those where all three are in one place right right it feels like a missed opportunity

not just have like a like a triple yeah triple threat throuple throuple of fast food yeah oh yeah

start the 2018 guys start learning all these words Situationships Jason's gonna be the key, he's gonna know them before The rest of the game Throw out any current slang, you know the current slang You just scratched out and it says Thrupple

Walk now You're on your second page, man Took a whole new binder um okay well let's you know what here's a good place to start people have been listening i assume revisiting that fragment of an episode for many many years and dying to know what mike had to say about the differences between this taco bell and the one that he frequents in Burbank. Now is finally the time to let the cat out of the bag. What are these differences?

Well, price-wise. Yeah. Number one price. What do we think is the general CityWalk markup? Is it, it's not 50%. 25 to 50%. You think it can be 50? Yeah, but probably closer to 25.

There's a sector tax, yeah. That's why. Check those leather receipts. You'll see it on there. Well, they have basically everything here. On my most recent trip to City Food, I did not have Taco Bell, but in the past I have. I'm a guy, especially now as I get older, 2018, Michael,

you would maybe get two Chalupas, two or three chalupas. I'm now more one chalupa than regular tacos. Oh, my gosh. He's lying down. He fainted, but he was already lying down. When we were in high school, man, we used to have like three chalupas for lunch. Beef chalupas with a bunch of stuff. We got like extra sour cream.

What do you fucking mean? We've changed that. Yeah, I just like what, you know, it's a a big sugar shell it's like that's more of a dessert almost it's like a dessert shell on a chalupa it's delicious still as long as it's hot and even if it's not hot it's still pretty good but yeah i just we do one fun thing now when we do maybe like a couple soft shell tacos with we also do chicken now not the beef generally what fuck do you mean you do chicken the chicken doesn't even taste the beef tastes way better than the chicken yeah i know but if you look on the app it's the calories

go lower so you can get like 30 to 40 calories off of your whole like each item if you go chicken instead of the beef you want to tell both of you mike's that taco bell chicken started going down the hill well before 2018 tell me they at least still have the shredded chicken and not just the chicken chunks. Yeah, it's funny. Jason, I really like that shredded chicken. Well, Jason, I have something to tell you. The shredded chicken is gone. What?

The shredded chicken is no longer an option when you go on the app. You can't have shredded chicken anymore, which is better than the chicken chunks. They only have chicken chunks now. You're going to make young yous all kill themselves. They only have chicken chunks now. You're gonna make young you's all kill themselves. Now young Jason's lying down. Hey young Jason

they do still have the potato tacos. They do go away for a little while though. Oh he's in pain now. Please tell me there's at least some iteration of Sheldon and Big Bang Theory on television in 2024. Yeah, of course there is. Yeah, yes.

As an eternal being, I can tell you hundreds of years from now, there will be Sheldon like Shakespeare. Festivals, adaptations, Sheldon in the park. Sheldon in the round. Sheldon in the Round. Sheldon in the Round. Sheldon becomes like a Hamlet kind of character where all the great performers. That's right. Hamlet, King Lear, all the great performers. It'll replace Macbeth because that's what you're cursed if you say that in the theater.

But when that's replaced by Sheldon, that doesn't have that same stigma. So Macbeth's gone. We flushed that down the toilet. It went Macbeth, Joker, Sheldon, that doesn't have that same stigma. So Macbeth's gone. We flushed that down the toilet. It went Macbeth, Joker, Sheldon. That's right. As far as those characters are concerned. It's the rite of passage of all great actors. Right, right.

Okay. And there's an amazing AI simulation of Michael Caine playing Sheldon in the year 3000. Oh, that sounds good. People are going to flip over. Yeah, that does sound good. AI? I mean, I know that movie, but. You'll learn about it.

Any more Taco Bell or can we move on to Pinks? We can move on to Pinks, yeah. Wow. Boys, boys, let's hear about Pinks. That gives you strength. Okay, so Pinks. The way this has worked out, we were talking about Pinks yesterday on the show. We did the Hot Dog

Hall of Fame with Jamie Loftus and there was agreement in the room that Pinks is not good. That was said definitively. This is this,

you know, long time LA fixture. It's really become one of those, like, it's a photo location and you got to go to the big line

and they have the hot dogs named after celebrities and we all agreed, like, whenever it's, it's one of those, like, you actually live in LA, you ever try that, you start to go to the big line and they have the hot dogs named after celebrities. And we all agreed like whenever it's one of those like you actually live in L.A. You ever try that, you start to go, it's not good. That is a big overrated. And yet, not to dox her. But this was said definitively by Jamie yesterday. Yes.

And then immediately after we saw her, you went up to city and i went up to city walk and as i was trying to figure out what to do i look over and jamie was there we did not invite her we would have been happy we should have invited her but we did not matter she was just there on her own headed for pinks that rules wow and you know what continuing to go back to a place that you actively don't like that is the spirit of podcast the rock well yeah and despite my warnings on that recording of getting sick twice from chili dogs at universal hollywood both mike and jamie loft has came back to the table with chili dogs wait Wait, Mike, you had a, again, right after a long conversation where several times we said Pinks is bad. Then you had Pinks.

Can you name everything you ordered? Do you want to stack it up? Yeah, well, it wasn't so much. I mean, it was- Before you do, I have one question. Yeah, go ahead. This is 2018, Secretary Gaper. Does something happen in the future where your minds are erased on the regular? Where you just keep eating this shit?

Yeah, guys, we have this movie. I don't know if you remember it. I guess you don't because your memory isn't very good. And it's not as popular as Shop Girl. But there's this movie, Memento, with a lot of memory wipes. Is that what happens to you guys? Why else? And you have a big tattoo of spoiled food on your back?

No, the thing is, I keep forgetting to tattoo it. You need to get the tattoo. Well, everyone knows, here in 2024, we know all of us puss out of getting tattoos. That happened weeks ago. No way any of us are doing that. So I got that tea. I got a Pink's chili cheese dog with fries. And I got eight wings from the KFC Pizza Hut.

Now, the wings were not from the KFC. They were from the Pizza Hut. From the Wing Street brand. From the Wing Street brand in the Pizza Hut part of it. This is not the KFC Express. Well, they're in the pizza hut part of it kfc express well this is from the they're in the same building but i just want to make clear that these are not wings you would get at a kfc they're wings you would get at a pizza yes there's a way to you can walk into a establishment that

says kfc and get chicken that is not kentucky fried chicken exactly different yes this is more this is wing street pizza hut chicken and they were honey barbecue they were honey barbecue they were eight they were tossed in this little kind of like a spherical container it's not a full sphere but it's close so i picture the ad the tv ads flipping the wings another this was a glossy barbecue sauce so this is what we're dealing this is my meal yesterday sector keyboard were you about to say i was just gonna say another photo is being shown and this food looks on eat it just looks unedible is what i'm trying to say um so yeah so i actually didn't really want the fries but the guy said like oh chili cheese dog and fries and i go yeah and i just ordered it there please take it and

shut the door before i fly away this looks like fryer okay this is the top of the the spherical container that the wings were in can you see there's droplets of the honey barbecue there it looks maybe like some like alien's blood ah delicious i just wanted a sampler i wanted to sample things now i will say this i i did know that these wings were going to be pretty good. And they were. They were pretty good. Yeah, they're pretty good. How did you know?

Because I've had them before. But you're having it at CityWalk. Different flavor. That throws everything into disarray. Different flavor I've had before. They have a garlic parmesan. It's very similar to a Buffalo Wild Wing. It's very similar to what you could get there.

I still don't. This is more for 2018. Mike, don't become your future self. Learn for once that CityWalk unravels everything you think you know. Anything that you like can be bad and hurt you because the name CityWalk is next to it. Hey, this is 2018, Jason. I like a honey barbecue boneless swing and I tip it in blue cheese. Hey, 2024, Jason and that doesn't change

wow oh that real interesting yet again pretty good pretty good you sat up off the floor like like you resurrected the undertaker yeah with the eyes 2018 mike way did i get through to you at all well i know what you're saying and i understand it but it sounds like this guy can still put away eight to 12 wings in one sitting. So it sounds like we're doing okay. Yeah, I hear what you're saying,

but it sounds like the wings are fine. And he's eating a chili dog like Sonic the Hedgehog. Yeah, so it's... Yeah, Sonic's cool, right? SKs? Yeah, Sonic rules. It's this guy,

even though he's acting like he's old or whatever, this guy can still fucking go. This guy can still eat whatever. You put a fucking cupcake in front of him, he'll eat it. He's not going to have a weird shit. He will be fine. He's not that old.

He's basically the same as I am. I mean, yeah, basically I am the same as this young guy here. Young Michael is basically the same as me. Hey, 2018 hosts, just work on your sleep and your bowel movements are easy ways to improve your health so keep an eye on those yeah and also this goes for all of you 2018 fuckers it's called mike stands look into them you ever listen back to these episodes russell russell rumble rumble it's just by they're so cheap go buy them Mic stands?

We're all going to have to sell valuable items that we own.ason's wearing the barrel with the straps lately that's how bad it's

got 2018 jason is in the barrel with the straps that's because that's the style he likes all right that's beside the point he's trying to bring back barrel wearing for the new century uh 2024 jason here uh i got a quick tangent uh to talk about um i recently had been reading about stuff that shot up at city walk and i used the bathrooms at city walk and it reminded me stuff that shot up what are you saying like like shot a film sorry shot oh okay yeah no i there was a couple things that could have been i truly have been racking my brain did we talk about the enrique iglesias video escape which is clearly shot in a city walk bathroom you say clearly it is this is what the city yeah the city wall the city food bathrooms look exactly like this. And he is, of course, making out with Anna Kournikova, who he would go on to marry. Wow.

Wait, Scott just scratched out and wrote Thrupple Walk Now. Oh, wow, I know. Scott just scratched out and wrote Thrupple Walk Now. Oh, wow, yeah. It's catching on. That's right. Well, that can be me and current wife Erin and Kornikova,

but if that doesn't work out, it could be me and Kornikova and Enrique. I'll do whatever as long as Kornikova's in the picture. I gotta say. I like you calling her Kornikova. It's my in the picture. I gotta say. I like you calling her Kournikova. That's my nickname for her.

Her last name. I call her Kourny. I call her K-Dawg. I call her Annie. Look, I'll call her whatever she wants to be called. I have to just say that you started that piece with quick tangent, and it was actually one of the only things that had anything to do with City Walk

that has been talked about. I mean, we've talked a lot over the years about stuff filmed up there but just seeing that music video, I'm like, well that's a rastro. At some point, they're walking by the Universe Studios store. That rules.

I have a request of the audience yeah can they take that photo and put you three in it the anna kornikova yeah like you guys are just uh using the restroom yeah that you're just that oh we're just in there we're not like all kissing each other is there other spots for us, Jason? Oh, there's plenty of sinks. There's open sinks you guys can be standing at. Wow. Wash in the barbecue sauce off our little

Wing Street fan hands. Our little grabbers. Our little grabbers. Yeah. Hey, I got grabbers. Yeah, you sure do, bud. Is young Jason getting younger? Young Jason's getting younger.

He's probably like seven. He's got like a little colic in the back. Yeah. He's got like a little colic in the back. Yeah. He's got like a sling. He's slowly rising this whole time. Slingshot in his pocket. Oh, this 2024 picture I have of the three of us.

I just, it's not like Back to the Future. It's not fading. Just I'm getting younger. The rift must be affecting things. The rift must be affecting it. S affecting it sector keepers i'm just absorbing their youth you're getting younger the picture is becoming more vivid and anna kornikova and enrique are appearing in it oh wow wow this is gonna be the rare piece of content ever that in one fell swoop went,

uh, expanded to 30 times its original length. Yeah. That's yeah. That's for sure. Great expansions. It's ever happened. Is there any of the sector keepers losing strength? One of you must be,

I think they're gaining. Oh, this gives us so much strength. Oh yeah. The rift is closing. Keep going. Okay. I haven't finished even talking about the meal.

Okay, great. So I'm eating these wings and I go, these wings taste exactly like I know them to taste, except now there's a different sauce that I don't always have and I like it. And so I get to the pinks and the pinks is, and I showed you a photo of it. It doesn't look like anything special, but I said, you know what? I would love, again, I love to be sort of a disruptor on the show once in a while and come in and go, you know what? I would love, again, I love to be sort of a disruptor on the show once in a while and come in and go, you know what?

Pink's was really good. I take a bite of it and it's one of the worst hot dogs I've ever bit into immediately. It's not rancid or anything. It's just not good. Everything about it is not good. The cheese is just like, maybe like stale-ish. Again, not rancid, but not good.

So I eat maybe a quarter of it it i would say maybe a little more than a quarter and almost immediately i develop like a dull stomach ache within the five to ten minutes of eating it and i it could have been from the tea it could have been from the wings but i don't think that's right do you never learn like 2024 scott just don't clearly that's right. Do you never learn? Look, 2024 Scott, just don't. Clearly, it's never going to change. Don't even try. Save your energy. If it puts your mind at ease, fries were pretty good. The fries were

fine. Pretty good to find. This does not put my mind at ease. You developed an insta-polyp. If it, no. I'm googling polyp once a week in my old age. Don't put that evil on me yeah i'm sure the more hot dogs you eat are gonna help you i didn't eat all of it i ate like a quarter of it so but no you probably waited for your dinner hot dog to finish one and to be fair to me also

the the stomach ache went away after 20 minutes it was just a quick immediate one good it was not a long-term came home i drank my water and everything was fine and the bowel movement today was fine it looked normal a rich color i think you guys are upset about the word panties but then you just talk openly about your hot dog bowel movements well i said bowel movements i didn't say big old shit it looked like a normal brown i didn't say big old shits it looked like a normal brown i didn't say that we go back in time two minutes ago to stop any of this from being multiverse doing fucking crazy things to me i'm being vulgar i'm talking about my big old shits this has to stop we have to fix whatever this is you know uh pretty fit a year i'll chime in about

this while we're talking about unnerving things uh i brought uh jane a large veggie it was called veggie delight from firehouse subs and uh it was delicious could have done without this piece of bright blue plastic in the room you guys is that a tooth it's a little nubbin no that's a bread crumb oh okay and it's interesting because the bread was very fresh and delicious otherwise you want to go back up there after this oh i could go for a little more of that tuna yeah okay listen all right here we go this is both scotts if this works out you're hearing two voices at the same time of course you are why wouldn't it work out both mike's and jason's need to learn a lesson that sticks stop eating plastics stop eating hot dogs that only

in quotes hurt you for 20 minutes 2024 mike is concerned about microplastics and nanoplastics so that is partly i'm so it's nice that firehouse Subs just comes out with it, and it's not microplastics. That's a macroplastic. They just put macroplastics in. It's a macroplastic. Can I just say, on Jason's cup at Firehouse Subs, they have a picture of Battalion Chief Brady Rigdom. There's a picture of this fire chief on the cup.

And then it also explains to you what thermal imaging cameras are. This is an explanation, a dry explanation. Yeah, there's a lot of large wall of text. Thermal imaging cameras have infrared vision that let firefighters see body heat through smoke, walls, and darkness, besides pinpointing hot spots for efficient firefighting. Thermal vision cameras, the explanation is all in there. Yeah, so there's an informative to get a cup from Firehouse Subs. Thank you. Thank Thank you Thank God

Thank God Okay okay Thanks Does that cover Alright so the meal Only hurt you for 20 minutes Yeah and this is I'll show you what it looks like

This is basically When I was done with it That's what it looks like That's how much I ate And it was not so much Well Jamie ate all of hers. She did, yeah. And she had a better time than I did.

Have we checked in? We haven't checked. We don't know. We all need to be doing wellness checks with anyone who ever has gone or will go to City Walk. You know, like the real pinks, there's a bunch of celebrity photos in there. You guys probably noticed those it's you know uh one unique landmark among all of these food court locations and uh there's a picture of alec baldwin up there oh really alec baldwin that's interesting you know i read this script

that i hear he's been trying to develop it's this western that's like this really like oh no no no no no no no no you'll know why later what about kfc express good idea well we covered the wings that aren't from well i ordered something from the whole establishment so i don't i didn't need anything from this kfc um okay uh two stars on yelp for that one uh pink pink's three a miraculous three did i say taco bell had one and a half it is so hard to get this low of a score on yelp the shittiest restaurants have three stars you go any like i feel like everybody like games the system on yelp these days and and you'll have like a three star and it'll be like the worst food you've ever had how hard it must be the amount the frequency of people that go in and hate their experience at city food is just

like immeasurable innumerable like so many people are going up there mad get mad enough to go online and say this sucks and get their score knocked down that low can i ask jason have you 2018 or 2024 when was the last time you dropped one of your yelp reviews because you, 2018 Jason used to do this more often. Really? Yes. 2018 Jason did not do that. Yeah, that was much earlier. Oh, more earlier. So you haven't done that

in a while. Yes, correct. Because I believe when Anthony Gio and I were on a Herald team with Jason, we found a couple of his Yelp reviews in like 2020, 2014. Well, I was complaining

about Metellos changing their menu offering. Can we find that? Oh, I deleted it many years ago. No! Oh, no! We got to go back in time and stop that. It was so long.

That'd be great bonus content is Jason's old Yelp reviews about Italian restaurant menu changes. They were just kind of shitty about it. They were just kind of rude about it. It was long. It was long. It was like your war and peace. It was epic. Wow. And I war and peace. It was epic. Wow.

And I can't remember. New lore. Yeah, I forgot. I haven't mentioned that in all these years. Sector Keeper, could you access Anthony Geo's brain and do you remember that? Let me see if he remembers that. Let me see. Let me go.

Okay, so it was very long. Six, seven paragraphs. What was in the middle of it? Well, they removed all the other pizzas except the smalls because they were trying to become Trattoria, but it's Vitello's. But I don't know that. I kind of know what Vitello's is.

Well, they used to just have a regular Red Booth Italian kind of, and a big menu of just different takeout pizzas. They used to have an express location in Sherman Oaks. Sorry, 2018 Jason. All this stuff is gone. What? They closed that Sherman Oaks location? I liked it a lot.

Yeah, times are changing. Young Jason's lying back down. What was your Yelp name? Can I search that? Come on. What was it? I think it's just my name, and it's probably just nice reviews

about old comedy theaters and that Burbank comic stores. Can you search users on here? I forget if you can on yelp or not old comedy theaters i just wanted to give a nod to rodney's rodney dangerfield's club uh see i never got to go but rodney he seemed like a class act for john lovett's oh yeah do we ever get to perform this podcast john love no the john lovett's, old friend. Yeah, did they ever take down the sign that says Comedy Club

because they- Did they ever put in a new comedy club? No. No. Did they ever put in anything? No. Are we there?

I like that there's a big bucket at the- on top of the- That's what- This is one of the best kooky displays. There's one thing I will say about this food court, that they kind of have some fun with logos that you see all the time. A digital bell on the Taco Bell swaying back and forth.

A big KFC bucket. Big Panda. The Panda Express logo. It's all very big. Okay, yeah. Yes. So that's fun, right? It is fun, yes.

And I like, yes, I like the idea of city food more than I like city food. I like the concept. I like that it's elevated. I like a mall food court where it's a little tucked away so you can kind of sit in a different area and kind of watch the mall. Yeah, this food court has a wind tumble come for free yeah did you say tumble i said tunnel i just got a little mush mouth when i said it oh you still do that huh yeah old friend that stays the same you were thinking about tummy the word tummy uh yeah i was thinking about about tummies. Tummy troubles can often be made worse, I feel like, by cold and wind.

Well, cold and wind, I think, could exacerbate a lot of conditions. Don't start blaming everything that's happened to you guys on the wind. There is a chance that the wind blew some sort of harmful chemicals into my hot dog. And that's why I got a little 20-minute stomach ache. It blew my last little bite of pickle away. That's unfortunate. That's often the best part. I know, my man.

Did you lose a pickle in the wind yesterday? Wait, that's real? I didn't see that. I mean, this is all real, but what the fuck? Your pickle blew away. It blew under the table. I think the guy swept it up when he was sweeping. Did you see it go into the waistband or whatever?

No. You didn't dive onto the ground and take it out of the dustpan? My wet pickle? You played that really cool. Come on, Scott. There's a line. I agree with him. There is a line.

I think if the food court sold pickles that you knew had fallen on the ground and gotten dusty, you two would both still line up to get them. Pretty good. That only made me sick. Probably the wind. Jason's much more comfortable with surface germs on his food than I am. I will say that. Hey, have you gone to Sammy McFloor Pickles yet?

Oh, it's... We had it back at the shore, Jason would say. That's how they do it there. It's not weird. Sammy McFloor Pickles just celebrated their 102nd anniversary. Sammy McFloor Pickles 2. By the way, second one. In all the talk of a Lil' Jason going on Little Rascals type adventures,

we now have the ultimate example of it. The first episode would have to be called My Pickle Blew Away. It would crystallize the perfect caper for Lil' Jason. Hey, my napkin blew away. Well, if you're going city food, you're taking that in your own hands, friend. Yeah, I know. It's windy up there.

I get it. I can't find him on Yelp. I keep looking for him on Yelp. I can't. It's really- 2018 us. Do you now see why this needed to be talked about? Did you talk about pizza

i didn't we yeah pizza we did yeah because i ate the wings i ate the wings on my side sorry i zoned do you think that would okay kfc has something now called cheats uh that's i'm gonna blow your mind 2018 guys chicken and pizza have now merged it's cheats uh but do you think that the the cheats of pizza ingredients come from pizza hut or like the wings is it a separate delineation like can you use pizza hut cheese on kfc cheats uh i mean can you should you what is the question we're actually asking here uh i i pizza i'm a big pizza guy of all the fast pizzas that's my favorite so if i would love to try the cheese on different things i would love to experiment with the pizza cheese

cheats it sounds like what you right when you go into the bathroom with anna and enrique and it's also a sound mike was making after he ate that pinks and went to the bathroom. Oh, cheetah. That's a sound. Oh, my tummy. Oh, cheetah. Cheetah. Cheetah. That's what, yeah.

I also ate some candy from ToothSims afterward. Oh, my God. I had to validate. We hated ToothSims. We've complained about Toosomes at length. Can we talk about our valet adventures? We got a quick valet adventure. Oh, that's true.

We could save it for parking. There you go. We got to get out of here someday. Look, look, guys, don't you see? It's a place where some of the signs are a little bit kooky. It's a place that made you sick in new and different ways. Don't you see now the value in doing an incredibly long episode instead of an incredibly short episode about Sector 16 city food?

Have you learned your lesson, boys? Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, I don't think I have. I think I actually liked the short one. Yeah, all right. Well, yeah, let's see where that attitude gets you, little Scott. Yeah, we might just memento this whole experience. Hey, look, as long as we can financially recover from one of these things

and I can still afford the cuddly, the cowlick toy that's eventually going to come out, it's fine. Like, short, long, I really don't. It doesn't bother me either way. I just kind of, now I have a vision of my firstborn child that's just really strong in my mind. And maybe,

name Aladar for a boy and Aladarina for a girl. Aladarina, does that make sense? Beautiful. Boys, boys. Yes? You've completed the sector officially. Wow, after five and a half years we have finally done it we've sewn this all up we have completed sector 16 and oh my god

the real stone not your stupid napkin 2018 sector keeper forming it's tumbling in without a gust of wind. It's the last nibble of a pickle. Wow. It's so dusty. It's hard to grab it though. The wind is pushing it around. It's not ours unless we can... There you go. You got it. Wow. Okay. Wait a minute.

Both Jason's they're holding it up to their mouths. They're trying to eat it at the same time. What's your problem? Jason's they're holding it up to their mouths they're trying to eat it at the same time what's your problem well you know what it was kind of sweet to watch I'm glad the two of you

found love in a hopeless place it is shocking he didn't start kissing earlier we should have all kissed each other you were just missing that pickle well you guys have a job to do you guys have a job to do. You still have more sectors to go. So I leave you to your adventure, 2018 Sector Keeper.

Have you learned something from this? Will you make sure never to rush any of us through a sector ever again? Yes, we'll never rush through a sector ever again. And our adventures will continue forever. Well, we'll see. All right. Well well we'll put a pin in that okay let's see where we land all right i guess we should propel out of here back to our own time 2018 scott it was a pleasure i guess fuck you all right well fuck you then too uh mike you want to say goodbye to yourself i want to say goodbye to you 2018 mike and i just want to say we're still we're gonna do it we're doing it still okay so don't worry about it i can go eat a big package of candy tonight everything's fine jason

well they're actually maybe maybe we can leave jason just for the night this feels right all right it feels so right i don't want to describe what he's doing. There's little hearts coming over their heads. 2018 Keeper, stick around with these boys. They're going to take you places. Oh, he scratched out whatever the last walk was and he just put

tonguing walk. Tonguing walk. Well, hey, so long. Bye, boys. Bye. Thanks for the waste of time you handled this pretty well all things considered oh my god wow what a ride we could barely

get Jason out of there well hey you know stuff happens when you have two freaks on this show a freak like him needed company yeah exactly Stuff happens when you have two freaks on the show. A freak like him needed company. Yeah, exactly. Well, I like to think that you can leave the door open.

Maybe you keep a secret piece of whatever portal got us there, and then it's like Sully and Boo and Monsters, Inc. You can still go like, 2024, Jason? And you can still play or whatever it is you want to do. Play is actually the correct word to use. Oh, no. Just don't call it wet play, for the love of God. Well, you certainly don't want it to be dry play.

I want it to be as dusty as a pickle. 2018 Jason's really wearing off on it. He's really rubbing off on Jason. Rubbing into him. Oh, no. There is some rubbing involved, old boy. Sometimes I gotta do it. Okay, sector keeper, I am exhausted.

Surely we must be somewhere. I know we keep saying infinite. Wasn't that solving the rift for the love of God? Yes, boys, you solved the rift. You closed the mini rift. No!

There's still... That wasn't the rift we've been talking about the whole time. There's still another final rift. We're on quantum levels, Scott. That was the smaller rift, but there's still the larger rift because boys aren't you forgetting one very special sector with one very special friend i'm talking how do you get there and when you get there what do you do

you park your car boys, the last sector. Parking garages with our friend Nick Weiger. Yay! You only tell me one thing to say to that. Wow. Forever. Dog. This has been a Forever Dog production.
