So let's go take a walk Let's all go to city walk tonight tonight podcast the ride presents the city walk saga a daily 19 part extremely necessary series exploring the stores restaurants and wonderful magic that make up Universal CityWalk Hollywood. Hey there, welcome to Podcast The Ride, the CityWalk Saga Sector 3. This is Scott Gairdner, Mike Carlson is here. Good evening, or afternoon maybe. There's no way of knowing.

No way of knowing when you're listening to this. Jason Sheridan. Hi, I'm here too. Yes, and we're joined by a returning guest who is here, I think, in one of our most well-received episodes. He was talking about one of the craziest things we've talked about, Hard Rock Park, and now back to talk about an area of CityWalk much less interesting than that.

Jason Wallner. Thanks for having me back, guys. I'm very excited to be part of this series. Very happy to have you back. I realized before doing this that this is your, I mean, we ended up splitting that other episode in two. So this technically is your third episode

which makes you the top running guest of the show. You really are I would say the Alec Baldwin of Podcast to Write. A true insult. What do you mean? It means you're good enough to be

one of us. You could be one of the podcasts. You could have been. And if you had gone down a different path, you could have been one of those. One of the not ready for podcast players. As Scott said earlier to us before we all met up you are in the three timers club am i the whole three timers three times so stretch out enjoy a genuine honor um uh and jason you just had a baby recently that's correct correct. Yes, that's right. That sounded like you were setting him up for a Byron Allen Comics Unleashed.

I am selfishly setting myself up for a Byron Allen Comics Unleashed moment. Oh, I see. So we wanted to get you a baby shower. Oh my God, that's so nice of you. It's a scroll. And I think it'll become apparent what it is when you take that rubber band off. It's a scroll. And I think it'll become apparent what it is when you take that rubber band off.

It's a scroll. It's a scroll of parchment paper. Off, and I'm unfurling it. Oh, my God. It is a legit map of Hard Rock Park. It's an original opening. This is incredible. Hard Rock Park.

Definitely framing it and putting it in my child's room we were hoping you would go in the nursery so your child can see that they too can accomplish great things and I'll tell him as soon as he can talk just every day that one day I'll take him to Hard Rock

Park and just like describe it as this wondrous place you and me bud and then one day I'll tell him the hard rock park and just like describe it as this wondrous place you and me bud and then one day i'll tell him the truth or i'll just play in the episode i'll send him the link one day we won't be speaking probably at that point but get him on a plane to myrtle beach yeah i love the map there's actually um there's a picture of that guy from the banana splits and an arrow oh yeah i didn't look at this yeah these are all in an arrow life in the fast let's just do that episode again cumbersome piece of paper imagine it carrying this around in 100 degrees with humidity that's how they would just hand that out at the park that's that's truly park map yeah that's the map

because you would think it would be more like the Disneyland map, which is just a tiny little tourist foldable map. It's very big. But there is, yeah, there's the bare metal families here. Winston, the punk rock dog, is represented. If you haven't listened to the episode, guys, go stop right now and go back and listen. There's over three hours of it. If you joined us for City Walk,

I'm sick of these people who came only to listen to the City Walk series. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have a whole show, guys. Don't ignore the rest of podcasts. There's actually something we didn't cover in the episode in here. There's actually a lot. But one of them, I think we had a good hour on the really hideous statues throughout the park.

Yeah. And the one with the, well, we could have guessed this. The one with the cow with a rockabilly hairdo and all these udders. It was a fountain and it was really unsettling. Shoot at you and razz you? Yeah. That fountain's name is Rock Cow Billy. Oh, wow.

That is such a leap. I feel like I time traveled to five months ago. We're in a temporal loop. That's a bigger leap than the roadies of the roadie stunt show. Who do get very hurt in that YouTube video. Yeah, the guy leaves. That's right. He stumbles away.

I have Bare Metal family on my phone. Is that your error? And on occasion, I will just play it. Because I'll rip it off of... Family... Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I'm not going to play it now. Yeah, we don't have to.

We have to get through this. Yeah, we're right here. This is these sectors. We have to get through the four of the most boring things that we have to talk about. So this is only sector three? Yeah. Are you going to release this third? Are you releasing the sectors in order?

Yes. So we're like bright and bushy-tailed right now. We don't know where this is going to go. We don't know how tired we'll get. This might be the start of kind of a decline because sometimes we end up with guests and i say so why did you pick this topic and i feel like i know your answer on this one which is that others were chosen this i yeah i didn't find out i didn't uh find out about this until too late and i emailed

you and you're then you told me all the good ones had been taken was there one you would have wanted to be given uh anything oh no probably not i don't know uh what was what's been the best one so what's been the most fruitful sector this is only the third right now right now it's mostly crepe so far crepes and water coffins do you have like if somebody were to said like i've said like a month or two ago like favorite city walk place like do you have a one that comes to right to mind i guess bubble gums but just like i don't know yeah i don't know what's city walk i've done the indoor skydiving i've been to margaritaville a bunch lately us too congratulations um i haven't gone to the churrascaria um yeah that's that's it is crazy

i i always forget that there was a full brazilian steakhouse yeah oh that's right yeah all right is there still a buca de beppo there oh yeah it sure is we walked by there tonight yep we did a full pass even though we didn't make you stay at your sector no we got to walk around a little bit you took the full tour um anything you now that you passed by that you wish was in your sector i don't think so i i wasn't coveting any sectors when we're walking here i don't know it's all you know it's all city walk this is. This is what anyone's opinion of this would be. But there's some fun stuff in this one. I guess, do we just go in list order?

Well, let's throw it to the sector keeper. Oh, that's right. Well, yes, that's who will decide. We take you now to our friend, the sector keeper. Boys, today's sector is sector three. Universal Studio Store. Ludo Bird. Francesca's.

Sublime Gifts and Finds. Good luck, boys. Thank you. Okay. Well, I guess we should do it in the order that he suggested. Which starts, which is, I think, in backwards order of interest. So, let's start with the most interesting one the universal studio store which is the basic uh this i think it's cool that they're they there's something like the world of disney at downtown disney there's a store that gives you

some of the universal experience and where you can go buy the merchandise without um uh having to what's the marriage metaphor and get the oh but get the milk for the merchandise without having to, what's the marriage metaphor? You can get the milk for free. Without having to get the milk for free. Uh-huh. I messed that up. So do you think a lot of people will just go there instead of the theme park? I definitely think that, yes.

And they go back to their hometowns and they impress their friends. And this was just i stopped in a store for a second while doing all the rides and just hoping to death that the lie is going okay and they uh uh they don't look cheap how many people that aren't that are tourists just go to city walk that's like that's the weirdest thing about that studio store i know it's a downtown disney as well like they have the World of Disney store. But wouldn't you think every tourist goes to the theme park, not just to CityWalk? The locals are probably buying less merch.

That would be a guess. I would think the only people going up there just to buy merch at the studio store who are locals are heading for the harry potter stuff like if you got a kid or a family member a nephew something like that and you know they're really into harry potter you know because half that store is harry potter stuff now and that part looks pretty nice yeah they redid that they redid this whole store not too long ago i will say well i don't think anyone was buying anything while we were in there right and we were in there we were it was a pretty busy time at city walk but i felt like no one was really i would say in all the stores we went in the cashier was making long eye contact with me because she didn't have anything to do all the different cashiers were not very busy this studio store is also like spitting distance from the

studio store as you're exiting the park right people are buying like that was a great day i want to get a souvenir they may have already done it like you know 20 feet ago um yeah but i mean obviously it's there we don't know the analytics there must be some analytics that show that this is a good idea that people buy things here someone's buying the giant donuts they got the giant donuts i was eyeing big simpsons looking donuts baked fresh daily that kind of looks fake because they're so big like look grotesque mutant donut that has been like i don't know mutated at the power mutated at the power plant uh but they bake them fresh and then they just sit in a in a box i got a shelf in a box in a room temperature to be bought by no one yeah they are not i'm supposing that they are bought they are

not bought yeah and when you say bake them fresh is that do you think they probably make them there on site like a disney type thing that's what the sign said oh it does say that okay fresh daily there's a full backstage like bakery and confectionery to support the theme park i would think there has to be and you're you dream of it each night i mean lying at the end of the conveyor belt i guess i'm skeptical because disney is so transparent with their their bakery and their their people you can watch as your like candy cane is made or your fudge yeah like with the universal we don't get to see fudge being made. There's a right.

Am I wrong? Um, are there, does there a live fudge display at universal anywhere? I don't think being made. Maybe if you're lucky, you get to see it being loaded into the case. You get to see a tray.

If you're lucky, you get to see the crutch being loaded into the tray. A truck from Laverne, California unloading crates of fudge. That's close enough for you. I declared this to be the most interesting one. Are we out already?

We're still getting our sea legs in this series. Well, here's an interesting thing. The one end, the end furthest into City Walk, that used to be the things from Another World, which we'll talk about in a much later sector. Two weeks.

The comic store used to be a pretty normal, pretty cramped comic store. And they had a good amount of comics in there for such a tiny space. But then when Universal was looking to expand the studio store, it was right next to it. So they cordially, like they made it,

they were like, Oh, we'll move you down to a different space. I feel like that was what, like, I, there was a story about, or like,

you know, we're moving, you know, they seemed excited. They seemed excited about it. Okay. But you're speculating on the cordialness but the sign was like we're willingly moving we're moving down the block no to our customers we were not forced out a very polite conversation happened and we love what's happening gunpoint um you know we caught you.

I feel like I heard there was something. We got you. Yeah, we're moving, but it's fine. We're happy about it. We get more space. So there used to be

no studio store there. There was a studio store, but it would stop before where we walked in. They expanded over to the comic store area. Is that what is now Harry Potter? No, the other end.

The other end. other we were looking at the uh world's best bod and like world's greatest that all of the that was like the comic store okay so that's all right fake awards yeah a good amount of like bart simpson uh drink receptacles yeah a bunch of minion heads um this is the thing where you can, there's like slippers that you essentially put your foot into Homer's mouth. That's nice. There's a wall. There's one, they're like one high end section is about half Back to the Future memorabilia.

Yes. There's a signed Mr. Fusion signed by all of the cast and the creatives. Five grand, is that how much it was? $5,000? Something like that. Above that is a signed Leah Thompson photo with a little photo of her nowadays

looking unhappy holding the photo that you're buying. That little photo was in the certificate of authenticity i learned this at some point uh in california if you want to sell something that's autographed you have to have some sort of certificate of authenticity but what quality like are there any criteria for a certificate because couldn't that just be forged just as easily as anything else i guess so i feel like there's some sort of way you have to go valid he's taking a photo of the person with the autograph like the poor man's certificate of

authenticity you know like poor man's copyright where you have to like mail it to yourself is it just like i just take a picture of the person with it and they're giving a thumbs up any piece of memorabilia as long as you have a photo of leah thompson holding it and with a scowl on her face wait was that a cry for help was that like when like kidnappers make someone take a picture holding that day's news she was holding the hill valley trying to send us a message yeah she's been kidnapped oh no she's in the back area universal that they that the sign just says fudgery on it but there is no fudge being made back there it's just a table and a trapped leah thompson um let's get her out save leah well there's a head of that transformer

that you told me about i was talking a lot well there's a bumblebee head but i was more interested in the character to specific to the ride evac which is the evacuation vehicle that everyone is in that's trying to get out uh and he's trying to avoid all of the evil Decepticons. You're in evac. So I was telling you guys that you're in evac, and I guess for some reason nobody knew what I was talking about. Because you're in a blue car. You're not in evac.

Are you in his back? You're in his car body. You're in his car body. You're in his car body. His head is above your head. It's kind of in the engine, right? Wherever the heads go. There's no head. You're in a blue car.

But it's in the front. But you do hear his voice a lot. I never even thought we were in that guy, though. Well, you hear a lot of voices in the ride so it could be right i didn't know we were part of a guy he doesn't talk but you hear an open roof but but then at the end remember of the end of this is this belongs of course in a full-length transformer episode but at the end when you decide that no we're gonna be the heroes we're not gonna just he says i'm sick of running right is that Is that something like that? It's like the line. And he punches the all spark.

I'm not running anymore. And then we kind of go closer to whatever the evil guy's name is. Megatron. Megatron. Thank you. And then a fist. Remember, do you remember this part? The fist comes out of the evac vehicle and he gets a real solid punch.

On the screen or like on the screen? Okay. Yeah. So like you, your car runs up to him but then the car sprouts an arm and it just shoves this arm into the chest with the all spark in it oh yes yeah so that's evac's arm so that's the head you never get to see evac fully like no one's but you think a single person's bought that head no i don't i don't think anyone's bought evac's head i just like seeing it there do you think they have a way to ring it up if you want to buy it?

Yeah, I'll take the Evac. Oh, I don't even know. We lent our ladder. We lent our step ladder to the other store. I don't even know how to get it. Yeah, I want to buy the Evac. Does anyone? Who has the keys?

I feel like we never got that key. This is unshatterable glass also. There's no way back there. There's nothing we can do. I don't want the audience to send me gifts, but I would happily accept Evac's giant head. I would be so happy. Inconvenient amount of money.

Someone is just going to send you a head. Is this what you meant? When I was up there a while back when this was when we were beginning this series not realizing we would all be touring it together i wanted to make sure i covered the studio store if i didn't get the chance later and i was in that little it's this little hallway and one side is a mirror and the other side is this display case with the nice stuff like the head of evac and there was a big et there and i was just standing there taking pictures and then this group of guys came up which my natural inclination is oh no young people they're gonna bother me

they're probably they found something to pick on me for already instead these guys started roasting everything in the case and it was a delight watching them do it they They were saying, you know, one of them said to the other, where they pointed at E.T. and said, that's what you look like naked. And then they started talking to me, and they asked me, they just pointed at E.T. and Evac without naming either of them, and they said, who would you be more upset if you went on a Tinder date

and it ended up being one of them? Who would you be more upset if you went on a Tinder date and it ended up being one of them? Who would you be more upset about? And I said, I'd be more upset about Evac because he's big and his dick might be like an exhaust pipe or something. And he might crush me or blow steam at me. And they said, so you'd be mad if you got catfished by uh by this guy uh uh and then they'd veered away from me because one of the guys thought of a joke he pointed at the mr fusion and he said what's that a new slap chop and teens are so good at roasting and that caught that was so funny that all three of them went running around

the store sprinting around the store saying oh shit oh shit watching these guys they were having such a blast it was three guys ripping on theme park stuff it was like this alternate universe version of us who i don't know so i'm sorry to say might have been funnier uh they were they were for sure funny they definitely were i thought about what's that a new slap shop but done since then so whoever you guys were you really you gave me a lot of laughs and thanks for not being mean to me like i still assume anyone younger than me is going to be it was a nice story that's a really nice yeah yeah so good memories there I was to any good awards anyone noticed there's this weird off-brand Oscars I took a picture of let me see oh I just took a picture of one

that's you know it's it's like it's best mom and best dad, best girlfriend and best best body. That was funny. Best dog sitter was one of them. But then very miserably on the bottom shelf, bottom is best me. So the person who goes to Universal doesn't want to pay the price to get into the store or get to get into the theme park rather just goes to the store and then wants something to remember his non-tripped universal buy this is buys himself a best me looks in the mirror oh this this i mean universal in general like kind of has to, because it's like Hollywood, baby!

California, Los Angeles. When you're in Orlando at Universal or Disney, there's not a lot of racks of Orlando crap. Oh, in general, yeah. Because people are coming from all over the world, all over America, and they inevitably will buy some like los angeles like postcards or hollywood postcards so they they keep a lot more of that i feel like than other parks yeah but the thing that i really love in any of these hollywood sections and this is true of the studio store it's true on hollywood boulevard it's true of any movie theme park the off-brand oscars is a really fun thing because the oscars are really

specific about their their golden man holding the sword and the way that the exact way that's framed so the off-brand ones where it's like well he's holding his arms the other way and he's holding a big star or like or a film reel or like uh uh or you know or his chest is like two tattoos of cameras or like yes we wouldn't want to uh dishonor the dignity of the oscars but i yeah maybe that's a business to get into is designing rearranged oscar statues it's just like a tiny evac painted gold? That's

the ultimate gift. That's for Universal. That's what they really should do for Universal. They should have their characters in gold with these different things. So like E.T. in gold and it would say best friend. Or like Ricky Ricardo.

Best band leader.an bates everyone's favorite universal studios character best clerk best hotel operator yeah least crazy guy like a golden a golden like buff man but then just the head is woody woodpecker's and he's uh best mischief maker yeah or fallon best host the people who pretend to be from new york who yell at you on the street when you walk by best Best working class Brooklyn couple. I walked by that today because I went in there for a few minutes. And like no one, maybe you guys have covered this already, no one pays attention to them. And like it looks like they might just live there. And the deal is they have to be miked and like just sit at the window.

They weren't even like doing New York accents anymore. I thought they were real New york at one point anyway when we were there when they doing a bit with beetlejuice yeah i think they were yelling at the street what are you doing and then like he'd have to be like ah i'm just on the street here and then the woman would be like no i won't i won't go out on a date with you beetlejuice and then he's like ah come on come on and they're doing a bit and then you're saying no one's paying attention i saw people taking pictures with a beetlejuice today who knows who beetlejuice is anymore he's like the one of the top five of universal characters what do people think he is like like just weird guy a ghost a crazy A crazy clown. The walker guy.

He's it. They think he's it. That is like, do you think people know Lucy better? Because there's still a Lucy walk-around character. Lucy versus Beetlejuice. Still on TV. Yeah, that's true. Beetlejuice, you've got to be a cinephile to know about.

That's a good point. Some random kid. There's a rumor about a new beetlejuice movie every year though that's one of those every the av club i think if you added up all the av club articles over the years 15 of them are about a beetlejuice reboot that'll never happen 10 ted three oh yeah 10 are about oh that had a big wave yeah yeah uh 25 is it every time arrested development might come back uh these these these stories power the blogosphere and uh it's it's what it's all uh hanging off of uh it's important uh best blogger yeah that's good hold them all in a word best pod mass uh assembler best oh yes so we should

be nice to them shouldn't we no they haven't written about the show yet all right right about the show cowards if you want your golden stick if you don't want a best coward statue that'll do it best coward so that's the most restraint I've exercised doing the social media for the show is not just tweeting after a few months at AV Club. Write about the show, cowards. Hey, Vulture, put us in on your own list. Split Sire, Vulture Comedy, whatever you're calling yourself, you're in the clear.

You've mentioned us a few times. Oh, yeah, yeah, they're fine. We want that 50 listener boost you all give us. The best boost. All right, that's enough of that. Let's move on to Luda Bird. Yeah. Luda Bird.

A restaurant that you guys both ate at tonight. Yes. I had in the past. What'd you think? Well, let's talk about the experience of it because we were at the counter for what felt like 25 minutes waiting for someone to come we were there right at dinner time right as the park's like letting out for the day the kid who was working there and i say kid because he was a child he seemed like he was 16. There was fear in his eyes.

Did you notice this is what I'm talking about? I felt so bad for him because he was running and doing 10 different jobs. I think he had braces. I think there was a whole thing going on. There was also three people back in the kitchen. I don't know what they were doing. And he was working so hard. So, like, it's not his fault.

It's the management at ludo bird uh or whatever the hell it's called ludo i blame mr ludo put the fryer put down the uh the serving plate at a petite chua or chua mac universal full of shit he's spending most of his time at city walk right yeah oh yeah keep an eye on that making TV shows, which they were playing clips of. The many Netflix shows he's made guest appearances on. Who is it? Who's the guy? It's this very famous foodie chef, Ludo,

who has some really good restaurants in LA, but also had this truck serving this chicken and then made it into a few franchisee places that are like pretty mediocre, like not, not great. Like, not like,

like not something you would say like, Oh, you have like the way people, I remember someone telling me about the chicken truck years ago. I'd be like, Oh yeah, it's the best fried chicken. You would never say that about Ludo bird in city no no it might be

one of the best uh fast fast options yeah uh up at city walk but i think in terms of like chicken i would hunt out in la it's been lapped by dave's and well if we're gonna talk about hot chicken let's get going on it because we have had hot chicken fever for over a year now. The wait here wasn't quite as long as like a howling raise, but it was different because there was no one online. The excitement level was a little bit lower. There's no music playing. There's no fun employees like slapping hands with you. They do the fun wait part.

To build the anticipation. That also happened when I went to Menchie's, which I know is a different sector, but I went to Menchie's. Don't anger the sector, Peter and Jason. No, he's going to be mad. He's going to show up. I'm just saying, I went, I finished making my little thing,

and I realized, like, is there a cashier in this establishment? Oh, yeah, I never saw one, yeah. They turned out to be standing right next to me and that was why but they weren't like behind the counter i think they were cleaning up you thought about running out with it i mean i was also thinking about like just doing a free sample you know down the line there's a little crowded yeah but you did the sample and then you did the main i did the sample and i liked what I had So I just got it Black cherry Tart black cherry

Simple one flavor No I did a twist with original tart And then I put a lot of chocolate and peanut butter stuff on it Best twist Not a lot to talk about this though Saluto You guys both had sandwiches How were your sandwiches?

I had a spicy chicken sandwich. The ingredients were good tasting. Like the sauce is good and there's like a pickled onion and stuff. The chicken was definitely very cold. And I think it had been sitting around a while because they had told you that they didn't have. Well, yeah. So I ordered a grilled chicken and i gave him my credit card he said i'll be right back and he disappeared for five minutes and i forgot that like i had to

sign or anything so i was just like i'll let him go whatever and then he like very like quietly and sheepishly came up to the table and was like oh i need you to sign this could you please and i was like oh yeah sure of course and then i'm sorry i forgot no that's okay that's all right so then like he took the thing back and then he kind of quietly came up is it like as if he was like a director giving me a note or something like he didn't want to embarrass me in front of i we're out of the grilled chicken sandwich uh would i would something else be okay and i was like yeah and give me anything uh he's like spicy chicken and i was like sure yeah okay and then he basically had it in his hand and then he just handed it to me and yes it was like sure yeah okay and then he basically had it in his hand and then he just

handed it to me and yes it was like again the ingredients were good but it was it was pretty cold it was pretty like the chicken itself was pretty cold which i've eaten at ludo before and this was by far the coldest i've had at ludo it was definitely cold and again not this kid's fault no no no he's a sweet guy ludo's cold chicken ludo's coldest chicken you're tired of the hot chicken oh we had a honey we had a honey which was good i went we went here after the we did it out of order sorry sector keeper but i got it we we got it after the the water coffins and that it made me sick all this wasn't good oh really yeah this isn't a good restaurant or whatever is going on they need uh it's i feel like a lot of restaurants are kind of like sort of uh what's the not like

bait and run that's probably not it but like they're started there's a grand opening the guy checks everything all right that's looks perfect and he never comes again it's just stressed out teenagers you never get it right and it's not their fault because they aren't equipped to do so like once you're past the opening ceremony it places like city walk nobody ever checks in that's i think city walk you can franchise yourself out and if it's bad it doesn't matter um it you know it's like making a tv show now no one sees it it just goes out into the ether and you never hear about it again who knows how would i even look that up no way to tell anymore uh look this is a thousand factors uh that's what that's what the teenager

would tell me uh about the chicken no this used to be a jody maroney sausage king oh that's right finest uh names of an establishment i have ever heard i think i ate there once or twice and founded a very serviceable sausage establishment but i liked it yeah i liked it i've never actually i never had the pleasure of eating at jody mar liked it i've never actually i never had the pleasure of eating at jody maroney's i've never traveled to the kingdom well we know you served at the pleasure of the king king maroney did you have to say my liege after you ordered my liege after you ordered. My liege. It's a very cordial pot-sauce restaurant. You were a serf in the Jody Maroney's sauce.

My napkin and my plastic fork and my tray. The serf Jody Maroney. This is a, there's a kind of a trend, and Jody Maroney's was a part of this, I think, because it was originally just a single restaurant in Venice Beach. It was a Venice Beach favorite. And City Walk, I think some of the idea of it was to kind of borrow or co-opt, you might say, L.A. favorites. I think there's been a history of that.

Things that maybe there has not been a second location of, and they do. Now it's become a place that co-ops portland favorites what with uh i mean we have voodoo donuts is an example of that mini monster but they did it with there was a tommy's i forget if there still is one pinks gladstones which uh got replaced by bubba gumps but yeah they're it's kind of this like city walks like the man like like snatching up indie bands and signing them but then not letting them do their thing yeah stifling their creativity yeah yeah the sausage King the real side kingdom was they were they've been crazy hot dog ideas everyone not everyone ate there but everyone who did started a van. Started a sausage. Started a sausage kick-off restaurant.

So, yeah, alright. That's not good either. Let's keep going. Francesca! Come on, sector three. I have literally not a note about Francesca's. Which one was? Francesca's when we went in first or second? Second. It's really just like

clothing and it's like a little bit of kind of gifty nonsense. You see, Francesca's the one we went in first or second? Second. It's really just like clothing, and it's like a little bit of kind of gifty nonsense. You see, Francesca started back in 1999 when we opened our first boutique in Houston, Texas, and filled it with a winsome collection of hand-picked merchandise. Women everywhere instantly fell in love with us, so that we now have over 700 boutiques in 48 states across the country wow really and then we also launched our online boutique francescas.com so you can shop serve or play whatever it strikes your fancy that's right from the francesca's website did they become a sponsor and i didn't know um? It's something I didn't read enough. It's something, it was maybe

Asian owned. It's just like an importer company that does cute stuff. I mean, I know they have carefully curated clothing, bright baubles, bold accessories, and playful gifts. Well, you don't know that. You're just...

Jason's doing it all at the top of his head. He isn't reading it. He's not reading that. I mean, it was a lot of knickknacks. It was a lot of knickknacks and one side of clothing. I don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but I spotted some bath treats that were very similar to the nectar bath treats that will be coming up in a future sector. They were like food-shaped bath treats, bath bombs, and soaps. And not the first appearance in this sector of food-based treats

because that comes up in Sublime Gifts as well. Wait, well, right before we... Oh, sorry. Oh, no, no, no, go for it. I was just saying there is crossover with this in Sublime Gifts of a lot of stuff like a glass of wine that says binge watching and boozing are my favorite stuff like that. Or for a man,

a beer cozy that says this guy needs a beer. And then there was a little purse that I don't know if it's for an avocado that you put in like a little purse, but it says time for avocado which i don't is that that means eating an avocado like instead of exercising like the mouth workout you get from eating an avocado which is not like a not strenuous not strenuous and also not like a crazy snack indulgence you'd be like time for my cake sursize or something that would make more sense and then one that we found that just a little shot glass with a picture of a cactus that says

feeling fan cactus it's one of the worst versions of those kind of things i found i bought an item from the store which i don't need to unwrap on the air because I know what it is, but I'd like to see it again. The audience wants to feel the OU unwrapping. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do a binaural presentation if you wouldn't mind. Yeah, do you feel like you're in great moments with Mr. Lincoln? So I bought a shot glass that has a bird on it, and it says McCall me maybe. And that's something I well that's cute now

i like it i'm a carly ray jepsen fan so i'm excited to have this and the back of and wait i oh yeah on my patio i have a sign that i bought in san diego uh that's something about like two cans for the price of one i forget so this will go along with that i'll drink i'll stare at that two can sign while i drink from this macawed shot glass and uh i'll be very satisfied with my life a lot of uh crossover two in both stores a lot of unicorn stuff one of you declared it the year of the unicorn is that there was a unicorn display at ralph's over here in burbank like the unicorn everyone is doing it really yeah i don't know why but it is well starbucks is going on drinks i don't know you know i like those drinks though

i haven't had one yet but it's but you will you know you will blue and purple what do they call it unicorn frappe or something unicorn tears is that or am i thinking of liberal tears or you might be thinking of the new pixar pier bing bong's candy shop because you can eat bing bong's tears his candy tears what do they look like uh would they it's not open yet but they're hyping the tears the candy tears um i found a book in this store called book of questions and it says i don't know if you guys saw this it says spark fun conversations and get to know friends and family better oh so there are maybe 10 pages in this book and on each page there is one question and i will just read a

couple of them what's the best compliment you've ever been given? I will read a second one. What would your answer be for that? Oh, you know what? You know what? Good point. Let's all do this.

Oh shit. Let's all do the book of questions. Jason, thank you so much for that suggestion. I think that podcast arrived. We could get to know each other even better. Yeah, you're right.

And book of questions. So Jason Sheridan, I would like you to go first. What's the best compliment you've ever been given? I don't know. You know what? I'll say this. Anytime someone says that I was funny or I did something funny, it always means a lot. Oh, that's nice.

Scott, what do you think? We don't have to be funny. We can just say serious things. Yeah, this isn't the best one ever, but it was a big honor when I performed at my high school talent show and I won the category of best miscellaneous. That was that. I consider that a pretty good compliment i i sang kiss from a rose and uh it was a it was a lot of fun and i'm glad i was glad to have been recognized but kept

separate from the rest of the singers jason i have nothing i can't i have blacked out any compliment i've received in my life hey nice lacoste shoes oh hey that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me sweet that's my best compliment someone what about when someone told me told you uh great imposter syndrome foster syndrome yeah i guess that's pretty good oh wow i'm bad at second guessing mike i'm trying to think i'm trying and also like could i hmm we gotta keep our compliments more at the front of our brains yeah i know it'll help us get through the times that we're getting very few compliments or three star reviews don't you feel disgusting if someone compliments you yeah it's like so shameful yeah you gotta land somewhere between you can't like reject you can't like swat it down hard because that embarrasses the other person there's no gracious way to take

a compliment it's like cruel to compliment someone right like because if you're like if you're like oh thanks it was nothing then you're like i you hear yourself being falsely humble even if you're not being false about it it's like oh i sound like i'm being yes falsely modest well it's because you don't want to acknowledge like if somebody were to say like what you just did was very funny or very good you're like hell yeah it is but you don't want to do that because that seems like you're crazy. But also like if you were doing something that you put together or you did a performance, like you thought it was good or you wouldn't have done it. But you have to meet it in the middle.

Like you have two conflicting things at once are happening in your brain. Yeah. And I've done the thing where, yeah, like if someone compliments the thing that you don't really think is good that you were involved with then yeah to say that to them is like to be like you're an idiot why would you like that you're like oh yeah that wasn't very good yeah it didn't come out very good but thanks all right i had a lot of problems it makes me happy if somebody comes on something i did that i know that i like had had trouble with at any point and i think i like to tell people that i'm like oh good i'm glad it worked yes i do that i do that

too there was this moment where it was not good and i know what it could have been but don't you still think they're lying they're the person giving me i'm suspicious but i don't always think for sure that's nice um you know well you know what the line this is the exact line for me about anything i've made or an episode of the podcast if anyone can name one specific from the from the thing i know that they watched it and they thought oh you know what i should say is that i liked that if they just say they liked the thing i think they're then they're lying yeah that's true or or like or it did the thing they did like it but it sort of failed on some level because nothing like actually broke through but if I get a compliment on a line, a

dialogue in something. But that is like a good hack moving forward. Yes, it is. When you're complimenting someone next. I'm going to do it right now to Jason Walder because I just a few days ago for the first time watched All That Jazz and I had a much bigger appreciation of the

finale of Eagle Heart, of the last season of eagle heart thank you watch that that's the nicest compliment i've ever gotten thank you even not that you appreciated um that you remember it and acknowledge that it was a thing i thought it was very funny at the time and i i kind of had a vague notion i was like oh i know all that jazz like i know this idea but i didn't really remember it that well but sitting down and watching the movie from start to finish i was like oh no it's such a good movie uh no that's true anytime like anytime i have something like that like i

yeah i'm proud of that and if someone uh liked it i feel close to them and want to talk to them for longer than they probably want to talk to me oh so it opens flood gates yeah yeah yeah no that's very nice chase i was interesting to watch a legitimate compliment exchange happen and see how you responded to it and i think you did i think you know what it was actually moving to me so uh i take back everything i said before i don't think you're an idiot for liking something that i did it's also just balancing out my karma for uh drunking drunkenly accosting you at a party in nine years ago or something when i first moved to la when which party was that a funnier dive party yeah were we together we met each other i didn't meet you

jason told me he was gonna go did we know each other already no i mean i we i'd only been in the city like a year and a half. Can I remember that? No, you were perfectly nice. No, it was a lovely conversation. We mostly talked about the best show. Oh, okay, yeah. I remember that. That's crazy. I wasn't I didn't see that conversation. Wait, which party was it?

It was that Funny or Die party at that what's that Sinus space? Yeah, Hollywood Boulevard. Okay, I remember now. They must have broken fire codes oh my god that was crazy

too many people that was yeah those are stressful but you had a nice moment within what is sort of

a crazy stressful party I took these pictures of this stupid book thinking oh we're just going to goof on this book

this stupid fucking book we're gonna oh four guys are just gonna rip it up laugh it up at this stupid shit this is where we're working in the entertainment industry does it just destroys your mind and here we are with maybe the nicest moment that's ever been on the podcast because i was walking through all these stores be like both being and trying not to be like all right what's my take to make fun of in these fucking places it's like wait what are we doing no that that's like genuinely nice this book is good you should now let's talk about what do you meme an adult party game for meme lovers. That was also on sale in this store.

Which is the exact thing Funny or Die did. Like making captions for meme photos. They did Funny or Die the game. And you could buy that at Target. Well, honestly, the worst thing about memes is that you cannot hold them on cards in your hand. At a party with your adult friends. And talk about how much you love memes. Do you guys do board games with with people i have a lot of trouble with that mike has looked over at me because he knows i despise them okay hey all

right i i i like like trivial pursuit i like that i like trivia games i like that or i like like the version of celebrity where like you write names down and toss them in a hat. But then usually it's like, all right, now round two, you can only say three words. And then round three, you have to act out the celebrity. You get very worked up when people suggest a game, too. You get stressed out ahead of time. It feels like you had bad game experiences as a youth. I know my family would play them, and we all had a nice time.

So what's the problem? I think I like talking more. I think I just force myself to become a talker at some point. So you're with people you like. You want to have a free will. You don't want to be put in a box. That's exactly it.

Sure. I think I feel that bummer at things where like, okay, now let's get down to the task at hand. But there doesn't have to be a task at hand. Let's just hang. I'm honestly more okay with them at like one of those board game cafes because you kind

of know that's what you're going for and that's what you're getting in. Those feel weird to me. I don't like that. I have only been like once or twice. That's too much of a show. I mean, it's a lot. Like let's go in public and do this. Seems weird to me i don't like that i have only been like once or twice too much of a show it's a lot like let's go in public and do this seems weird to me but at least then you know the context i see i understand what you're saying yeah maybe you should try playing the 400 harry potter chess set that they have at the universal studio store that we were at tonight he might uh might turn your

army 400 it was in a cage too oh i didn't see that where that was it the characters or was it it's like very ornate looking it was in a cage with i thought a woman guarding it but i think she was also selling wands there's a one woman's job is just to guard this it's not even that expensive no it's less than the leah thom Thompson head or whatever it was not a Lea Thompson head it was a picture so in the Transformers ride you're in Lea Thompson that's what you're driving around and then in Back to the Future

the old Back to the Future ride he would constantly be looking at a picture of Evac that would be dissolving disappearing George McFly is spying on Evac while changing clothes that are in his window. In ten years, when Back to the Future has been

remade, and there are still ten more Transformer movies, and they cross over because entertainment is a full wasteland, that will probably happen. I mean, but that's going to be great because Logan Paul's going to be Marty and Jake Paul's going to be his young father.

Are these all ready to go as soon as Zemeckis croaks? Yes. That's right. We've talked about this. We think he's day one as soon as he's gone. I think Gale and Zemeckis have to be in the ground. No, not dead. Not in the ground.

I think Gale. Just not breathing for 10 minutes. Have you guys seen the guy who did the video about Back to the Future movies predicting 9-11? No. Just look it up. It's the best thing. It is fully convincing. Do you have an example of one way that it did?

No, just look it up. Watch it on YouTube. That's the only thing I'll plug. It was made... I think the guy it was the last video he posted was three years ago it is like the best edited most beautiful thing it's not a crazy person it's someone who's like very smart wow um it's something that about like a bigger thing of like um looking at reality in a different way he's not like a crazy guy who actually thinks this i think

but it's a real good watch whoa all right check it out best video yeah and then he also starts with this disclaimer with tiny type that's like i just want to say i think robert zemeckis is a great man i don't think he knew about 9-11 decided to do nothing i've sounds like you do think that to propose it's worth worth watching whoa all right uh well you're not gonna find any merch for that video at the studio store so anything else in francesca's do we well was it was the thing you just said from francesca's or from sublime gifts and finds i think yours was from francesca's right? That's the... The compliment book? You're not going to be able to compliment the store. It was...

Yeah, that was the second one we went in. Did we never get to Sublime? They're the same store. No, we went into Sublime. Because that's where all the signs were. But have we talked about them both? No, we haven't talked about Sublime. No, we haven't talked about Sublime yet.

I haven't talked about Sublime. All right, go for it. Sublime gifts and finds. You know, this is the sort of kind of like kitschy. It's sort of kitschy, but then it has like the illusions of like a little more upscale sort of gift shop sort of to it. I mean, they have like those swell water bottles, those airtight water bottles that are very popular right now. They had some paddy wax candles which is like a higher end brand of candle um and this is the only the sort of thing that can only

exist in high traffic areas or else you're bringing in marcus lamotis or and he's gonna redo it because it's like who else is buying this stuff besides, like, foot traffic, impulse-y buys? Well, speaking of, in the store. Speaking of, we found Casery phone cases from a recent episode of The Prophet. And with no need to explain anymore what that means. Y'all know Casery. Y'all know. There was a really good episode of the show that was a cliffhanger where these kind of turdy guys were, no, it was one turdy guy and two non-turds and they were all struggling

to make expensive cell phone cases together. And then there's a schism in the episode, but I don't want to spoil it. But it was, yeah, once I realized we were looking at honest to God casery, I feel like we got to play to this. We've gotten enough compliments the nice comp some of the nicest compliments i've ever received about when we talk about the profits so i feel like yeah so the casery is still going strong but we know there's more to this story and there was a rack of casery cases in like a right kind of in the center of the store for sale.

For $30? For a cell phone case? $30. Why would this ever be? Great margins. They said they paid like a dollar a case wholesale. The margins on that are insane. The profit in general really opens your eyes to whenever you think that something costs too much money.

It's always, what do you charge for that? for that 60 what does it cost you make 45 cents i mean that's me very cynical store yeah that was this entire store it's a lot of a lot of wooden sign i wrote down some of them um uh uh some of my favorites um uh this is another thing that's kind of popular right now and it's a little befuddling to me is the is mermaids because there was like a bunch of like uh bikinis uh no sorry uh kind of pissed about not being a mermaid that was a sign mermaids don't lose sleep over the opinions of shrimp that is a play on uh lions don't lose sleep over the opinions of shrimp. That is a play on Lions Don't Lose Sleep over the opinions of sheep. What?

But about mermaids. You never heard that saying? I don't think so. It's like an aggro, like, dude saying. You can find it in a lot of different, like, Instagram photos. It's about not losing sleep over dudes. About not losing. So, like, the one I've seen the phrase i i forget where what this is

traced back to it's lions don't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep oh but the mermaid thing the mermaid flips it so like mermaids sleep over the opinions of shrimp i'd say both are true yeah well they're true um sure both are true no coffee no worky that was surprising that is definitely a play on no wasn't no laundry which is not acceptable at this point thing you would see still in any farm probably they have like great or maybe not anymore but up until two recently I bet we can find one yeah there's a Chinese laundry there

and I think there's a sign in the old west town yeah I think it says no tiki no laundry are you guys gonna do that on this show

we're doing everything on this show we did not but you gotta do ghost town alive oh yeah that's a whole oh my god

yeah we have to do the whole show thing it's the best well we're gonna go back and redo everything in far far more incremental steps now that we know our real pace. I think you should do an episode on the Calico mine. All right. I'm totally down.

100%. Yeah, yeah. No, we'll start breaking them into pieces. This wine is making me awesome. You're the flip to my flop. They're a little more awesome. This one is the biggest leap that I saw. Bikinis? Oh, hell no no i thought you said martinis well that's just a misunderstanding yeah yeah there's a sign form there's a bunch of keychains and they have like very similar like

thing like it's like phrases and saying like pretending to be mature be a mature adult is exhausting which isn't even clever it's just sort of a saying like pretending to be mature be a mature adult is exhausting which isn't even clever it's just sort of a sentence but the company that makes these keychains is snarkcity.com and i went to snarkcity.com into the sales section and they have a bunch of mouse pads and they have primary business you should be one that way. They have one that says, nope, not today. And then they have, let me check my give a shit-a-meter. Nope, nothing. Which I think they should have cut the nope, nothing. No, I think they should have added to it and be like, nope, nothing.

Turns out I don't give a shit. Yeah, you're right. I mean, it's already a little crammed on here. It didn't even go up 20% of the way do i give some of a shit here's what all the way at the bottom here's a mouse pad pull yourself together you've got bitches to battle and men to destroy on a mouse pad on a mouse pad these these are poorly graphic designed too it's just like a good picture of a that person coming into their office and swapping out the default mouse pad

and you're like, oh, I don't want to deal with them. I hope that's for a woman to own. I hope. Yeah, it's good. Wow, he sold a crate to the proud boys of Orange County. The sale's a sale.

We could do a whole episode on snarkcity.com, but that's just a taste. That's another one we'll get. It's me and crammed signs. They have a lot of that store, Sublime, are those black woodblock signs with the white text. Yeah, yeah. Does anyone know what their name is? I think it's all made by one company and i know that uh there's an i rented an office and it's kind of owned by a lunatic and in the bathroom is one of these signs um and it just says uh like replacing the toilet paper won't

cause brain damage so so every time i like use the bathroom I have to like just be bummed out. But like it's like this very aggro sign. And so these have gotten and it's the same company, definitely. And the signs get so over like so they're giant, some of them. And one of them is like, live your life, take chances, be crazy. Don't wait, because right now it's the oldest you've ever been and the youngest you'll ever be again and that's the one with the least amount of text and this one was on the wall and and i was saying um some of these feel like you know on the uh on an iphone if you just if you have predictive text on and you just tap the word oh yeah randomly assemble like a paragraph that sounds like human speech but isn't um this um, this marry your best friend. I did not say that lightly, really, truly find the

strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with the kind of laughs that make your belly ache and your nose snort, the embarrassing earnest healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through these times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute even when the waters get deep and dark.

That's a sign. That's so much to put on your wall. Whatever just happened to an Irish grandmother lives here. Something simple and nice all of these signs sound like they're they're being bought by someone who says the phrase hey i'm not done talking to you yet hey where are you going hey i'm not done with you yet i think you're too good for me yeah each one should end with hey where are you going i'm not done with you yeah this place is like a grandma spencer's gifts like it's got like some bawdy stuff but it's a lot of like signs and like signs that are supposed to show you what you're at it's like this is who i am read the sign well there's a lot going because there's also like

a full wall of jewelry cases yeah like affordable jewelry even looked yeah but i don't have any bearing on what jewelry is the jewelry there's the dad annex too that's the one little guide to grilling and then the rest of it is like shitting related oh i took a picture there was all these like man soaps and i took a picture just because this one had such a crazy name. What was it called? Oh, yeah. It's a bar of soap naveled Naval Supremacy. We just sold a crate of 200 to the Proud Boys. Duke Cannon Sublico.

The one next to it says, Productivity wins the day. And then the one behind it is Old Milwaukee Big Ass Beer Soap. That's right up a dad's alley. This is right up a dad's alley. That's the Spencer's Gifts is what I'm saying. There's elements of Spencer's Gifts, but it's a lot of stuff.

A lot of that. A lot of phone chargers that might spark on you. Those cords that will fray very easily in your car. A lot of Kierkegaard sort of, like we were looking at the pen, that's also a ruler and a lot of those cords that will fray very easily in your car land sort of like we were looking at the pen that's also a ruler and a level and uh you know an eraser or whatever a lot of like get gadget gadgets and gizmos the specter of cleverness has haunted this particular retail zone because what this was for many years and very strongly in my memory of being younger and wandering around citywick was that it was an art gallery called martin lawrence gallery oh yeah yeah if you remember

that very strangely and obviously easy thing to comment on that martin lawrence am i gonna find a painting of shenanay in there but but not in no in fact i I found a quote from some review of what it might have been. And this is just a straight up quote. I think the literal art was fun, such as a cow standing on snow cleverly named Cold Cream. Clever? Is it? I don't know what that means exactly. Oh, because a cow makes cream.

Snow is cold. so you got cold cream so these new places phrase cold cream yeah it's an it's like a popsicle stick joke but the answer isn't something you've heard of someone who thinks that ice cream is called cold cream? Can I see the dessert, man? What kind of cold cream you got? It's a regional thing. Yeah, it's a regional thing. You guys want some cold cream? It's like when the

Simpsons where the Flanders have ice milk. Flavorless, please. Quite similar. The other one is a Scottish terrier being lifted up named beam me up scotty oh that's pretty good so but as opposed to those these being like knickknacks you could buy for thirty dollars i think these are paintings that cost like two thousand dollars like this is where uh tony soprano commissioned that painting of Pyle by the Horse.

I'm not watching The Sopranos, so I'm out on that one. It's pretty much all I watch anymore. Also, you could apparently buy Warhols at this gallery. Really? Yeah, you could go to CityWalk and get a rain stick and like a giant pencil or a giant toothbrush from the giant store and an Andy Warhol painting. from the giant store and an Andy Worrell painting. Is the giant store still around?

No, that wasn't early. And I don't even remember what sector that was in. That one's lost to the, I don't know if you know the name of the giant store, please let us know. And I have another request too, which is some of these things that we read,

these poems that are on these signs. I would like to see those little like affirmations written on top of photos of jason i think that would be a blast to see uh and those would come and they would feel like the best compliments you've ever loved a picture love my picture with badass bitch battle some bitches today jason i would like a picture if we're asking more things i've asked so far on this podcast for a 400 head of the evac the transformers character uh but i'd also like a cartoon of jason asking for some cold cream please and preferably like maybe tugging on like his mommy's apron when he's like a child oh and she her pattern to acknowledge the original

painting her pat the apron is cowhide yeah perfect and that keeps it in black and white so you don't have to add color to this painting that you're gonna do at home necessarily so that's your assignment black and white we'd like it within two to three weeks please and ahead of you back um is that it do we make oh also one of these used to be a sunglass hut where you walked through giant sunglasses to get in oh oh that's nice that would have been a fun homage to that um we we don't have we've been talking forever and ever but i did think that maybe one final thing to put in this sector why not why don't we annex oh yeah the universal globe the spinning globe itself uh that's uh that's facing the and if you're watching extra where maria lopez broadcasts every day you come to la you can be in the background

and the background is the studio store so that's why i think it's in this sector do you do you know what time they filmed that every day i was looking it up i was wondering if i could get on to extra you can uh if i could have done that on the slide today and then surprise you with my appearance on extra but i think you have to like wait and then it's not just like you're standing back that you i think you're like corralled by like an extras guy so um but i don't know we could you want to go to why don't we make other people do it we keep commanding people go to extra hold up a science's podcast ride yeah we're busy we can't we should get like a stern show type thing like a baba booey or like a real like a trademark that people can go interrupt shots from like a new local news or

entertainment tonight or whatever screen hashtag jason for dlr jason for dlr yeah uh cold cream you know what i kind of like to see on some signs i mean we're taking other people's material here but what's that a new slap shop throw that on a sign hold it up from the back yeah any of your favorite references and we'll see what stick yeah yeah we don't want to create a baba buoy but i mean we don't want to force one is what i'm saying yeah yeah it has to happen organically yeah i did watch that dolan brothers uh clip that you sent we had the fine stars who were interviewed at so that's just one of many great moments that happened on extra well i actually didn't watch it it was oh really

mary lopez asked um they're these twins that started on vine they went to youtube i guess they oh cool they made the lead there was a controversy because like they were i guess protégés of the paul brothers but then kind of had a falling out but then did they get dissed in a rap oh i don't know mario lopez was like what's um what's the difference between you guys like because they're identical twins he's like what's what's different about you i went to kind of define you guys and they're both like we pretty much have the same personality nothing nothing really that's so um but i did think of uh the uh for when they die my what my eulogy will be for them which is uh the dolan brothers didn't die

they simply became YouTube videos. Like in Westworld. Oh, see, I didn't get that. I don't get Sopranos, and I don't get Westworld. I like it a lot, though.
