FOREVER! DOG! Marissa Strickland join us to discuss Halloween Horror Nights, specifically the Purge Dangerous Waters show, on today's Hauntcast the Fright, where for the next 90 minutes to two hours, all evil references are legal. References like doll-faced Spectro-Men and Brian Setzer. My name is Frightful Narlson. Joining me as always, Scottlejuice. This is the fastest way to get me out. If there could be literal monsters hiding in the room waiting to pounce, that'd be more acceptable to me than Brian Setzer talk.

Yeah, of course. Joining also is a guy who I keep forgetting his Halloween name. I know it's Slash and Drain is the last part of it. Oh, it's Jagged Slash and Drain. Jagged Slash and Drain. That's right. We may have to change the first part of that. Okay. I don't know. I think it's- I'm part of it. Oh, it's Jagged Slash and Drain. Jagged Slash and Drain. That's right. We may have to change the first part of that. Okay.

I don't know. I think it's- I'm open to it. Also, it's on the hosts to introduce themselves. That's true. If they make their name something so clunky. That's true. That's a very good point.

You just got to point at him. I'll point at him next time if I do a intro. But no, you're right. It's my problem, not yours. Yeah. For now now at least you know if we're talking setser it's a good thing because we're not by the way but but go ahead i'm just a little boogie woogie bugle boy from company b you know is that a song they did or do you just like to bring up boogie woogie bugle boy i don't think they did that i feel like. I don't think they did that. I feel like he did. You don't think they covered the Brian Cesar Orchestra?

Look, it seems extremely possible, but I just don't. I don't know for a fact they did, but it seems right. I just think that's a separate thing Jason loves to say. That he's a little Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy? Yeah, I think he does like to say that. There's been multiple Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. Well, it's true, though. He is a little Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. Let's bring our true, though. He is a little Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.

That's just a fact. Let's bring our guests real quick, because I think they would like to talk about this specific topic. Not the actual topic we have today, but they've been on the show. These are friends of the show, good friends of the show. They're now together on the podcast. Justin Michael, Marissa Strickland, they're here.

Welcome back. Thank you. Can I be Monstressa Shriekland please oh yeah perfect yeah let me write these down yeah write it down too is very fancy yeah it's a family name they changed it at lls island i know it used to be much skeleton it's a giant skeleton oh opens you up. Oh, yeah. So you gotta pass right through it. That's a scary entrance to Ascarica.

Oh, we're off to the races. I don't know. Justin Michael Myers. Oh, yeah. That's good. Very good. I don't like leaning into an IP version, but, you know. I do want to pitch I don't like leaning into an IP version, but you know. That's it. That's clean. I do want to pitch for this month, Boogie Woogie Boogle Boy.

Oh, yeah. I like that. That's good, too. Yeah. Well, dude. Boogie Woogie Boogle. Oh, wow. Just make it real easy. From Company Boo.

It gets better and better. Oogie Boogie Bashel Boy. Well, these are all good for next year even, too, if we want to do Jason. This is going to keep Jason in names for years. Sure, yeah. And hey, still looking on it, the Brian Setzer Orchestra did that song, but they did do a Christmas album

called Boogie Woogie Christmas, so we've got that to look forward to coming up. In what way? In with it, it'll be playing out in the world? Because it certainly was not that we're going to talk about it further on the show. That'll slam that door down right now. Hold on one moment. What songs do they do?

Well, let me do a little more research. All right. You get back to us about that. Or let's see if the conversation takes us away from Brian Sensor entirely, which I think that it might because you guys are here to celebrate the Halloween season. You all went to Halloween Horror Nights together. Yes. So what happens is we get some nice comps.

I'll admit it. We get some comps from some places that are not Disney. And this year, since my co-hosts generally don't go with me, I get to invite different friends to go. And this year, the roulette wheel landed on you two, which was a delight. So you do have a big wheel. Yes. It is the friend wheel, I call it. It's how I, if I have a funny little joke to text to someone, I spin the wheel and see who's getting this take

on all the latest current events. Brian Setzer. I have a Brian Setzer joke. Yeah, so we went to Halloween Horror Nights, which is, this is something that you're both fans of in general, the haunts, the scary stuff. More so than me, actually. You've been a longer time haunt fan i'm very new to it relatively it looks great on you well thank you i appreciate that i didn't i don't want to be a

poser at these events because i you know i declared that i loved taunts uh a few years ago but i do feel like sometimes people are like, do you really? Really? You feel that wave of pushback? Well, not really a pushback. I just, you know, you have a little paranoia that somebody thinks that I'm not, maybe I'm not legit.

Maybe I'm not a legit haunt fan. Well, you went so far with it also. Like some people who do love it still might say out loud, I like going to haunts. But you came out so strong with all the way from hating, scared to loving. Right. So maybe you're a little nervous about owning that full time.

Yeah, I am. Yes. Because, yeah, again, you two are legit long time. I, you know, in my mid to late 30s is when I've developed this. I only got into them like maybe early 30s. Like I was scared. I felt it was when we started dating and we went to the Haunted Hayride and we just went on the Hayride here in Los Angeles. And then on the way out there's a maze.

And Marissa was like, I want to go on that. And I was like, oh. So you had to be like a brave guy. Yeah, it was real toxic Masculinity Driving it It felt like Pulling a cartoon goat You know what I mean

Like they like Push back Go on No I don't You know what I mean Just a lot of Resistance Oh yeah

And then you were like Well I'm gonna go on alone You can just wait here At the end And I was like No no no I'll wait here And was scared

And then And then Marissa probably insulted you a lot. What are you, chicken? What are you, scared? Yeah, what are you, a little chicken? Bok bok. Fucking get in this dark maze. And she was dressed as Biff for no reason. And I fell in a pile

of shit. You guys are washed to this day. You got your comeuppance, butin also got his love of haunts yes truly over the years so i'm just saying you're on the path okay thank you thank you for letting me know that i love it how scary is that thing the uh the haunted hayride that's a that's a i would say it's a zero on a scale of one to ten okay okay oh wait there's the ride and then there's mazes next okay so the ride is like a family friendly thing. I'd give it a three.

I'd give it a three. I think if you're not into haunts, you're still going to have people running out at you and dragging metal things across the metal part of the wagon and making loud noises and stuff. That is scary. Yeah, there are some noises that catch you off guard, I guess. Right.

Marissa, I believe many years ago, I think, you've done more extreme haunts. You've had a bag placed on your head and a waiver has been signed. Yeah. Which sounds a little too intense for me even. But could you describe what this was at the time? Yeah. This was also pretty early on in Justin and Mai's relationship. Oh, did he do it?

Yeah. Oh, yeah? So we went to rob zombies. Justin got nagged into loving once. Yeah, please help me. Lisa Lampanelli's the queen of me, and Marissa's the queen of nagging. And it rhymes.

It does. Well, you're not the queen of rhyming. You're the queen of nagging, okay? Yeah, no, so we went to rob zombies american scream which used to be at the pomona fairplex one year one year at the pomona fairplex then i think it kind of toured but i don't know where it is now i hope it's still active somewhere in america possibly um but at at that event and i don't know when that was maybe like 2015 something like that i think earlier okay it was it was a while ago

um but uh there was a there were several mazes one kind of like traditional like house of a thousand corpses kind of traditional maze and then there was one blackout maze where you had to wear a little burlap sack on your head and they just kind of pushed you into a maze so you're just using your, uh, uh, hands to feel around,

which is truly very exciting to me. But there were light electric shocks in that one too. I feel like we got tricked into doing more extreme mazes. Cause I don't think like either of us would be like, we want the pain maze. No. Well, except that like a couple of years later we did opt into a pain maze.

The 17th door? It's too extreme. You get electrocuted left and right. They rubbed a pig fetus on her head and just chased her around. Yes, truly. And they like birthed a pig fetus out of a woman. Like you follow the story of this, you know, woman

in college who ends up getting pregnant and then she has a pig fetus and they rub it on you is that like a morality play about like uh the dangers of uh premarital sex i do think that there is an element of that yeah it's definitely not a fun story that you're walking through a blessed delivery a happy delivery but we got tricked into these three mazes that rob zombies because you you have to go in back to back to back so like once you go in one you have to like go through all three and so we were like oh we're gonna go into this normal looking maze and then

the second one is like okay put this burlap sack on your head you're gonna be stuck in this labyrinth with a burlap sack and electric shocks and because you can't see, you get stuck a lot because you're just like, how does this maze work? And there was one kind of, I guess, you know, guard inside the maze. And we were like feeling our way against a wall and he was like, uh, you're in a corner. I said it in a monster voice. I was like, you're in a corner.

But like we were trying so hard and it was like humiliating yikes yikes um but that's like i'm scared enough of you know what was never i never felt great about where any of those void things where you are you're essentially you're not blindfolded i mean it's the most high-tech blindfold there is because it puts you into a digital environment but even that i don't trust it at all i am walking so hesitantly and scared so so doing complete darkness this is misery to me my god so so the electric shock would you do that one again the one no that was the 17th door no they said most of them had shocks but the 17th door had more the more yeah in the 17th door and i'm i'm assuming

they've changed their thing because i got an email and they the 17th door and i'm i'm assuming they've changed their thing because i got an email and they're like come back and i was like there's no i'm never coming back but like you had to hold hands with your party right if you went in with like seven people you had to hold hands with your party and then flip one of those like electrocutioner okay you know things and then electricity like went through all of our hands through our like daisy all of our hands like they were like it through our daisy-chained hands. They were like, it's like... So basically, 17th Door is like, there are 17 rooms, I think, and basically you have a chance to opt out after each room

if you're too scared. There's like a safe word. But if you get to the end, you get to see the whole horrible problematic story that they've set out and made you pay money for. Is the fetus at the end? The fetus was at the end, but every year it's kind of different.

The coolest room was there was like an evil Ronald McDonald, and you sit on a bench, and it's like a very small room, and they pump suddenly like from the ceiling, I think, a bunch of ball pit balls started to fill up, and they filled up past our heads.

And then at the last minute, they had this big vacuum suck it all out. And I was like Oh that one was kind of fun I mean I'm not as Claustrophobic so Neither am I But I felt claustrophobic

In that moment Because you're like Wait wait wait I'm being buried alive Like it really did Give that sensation But it was fun Because it was colorful

Oh they were still colorful They didn't make them Like Not spooky balls Yeah yeah Spooky balls Regular colorful balls Not evil colored balls So we go to so when you

go to horror nights is it like kind of even like well this is like baby stuff in some ways because you've been electrocuted i do think that after being electrocuted after watching a friend's face get shoved in a stinky toilet after watching them torture animals. They had roaches that they had. What? It was really, it would, that was like the most offensive part. It was like,

I don't like bugs. I don't like roaches, but I don't want to see them, uh, alive and taped to something. Yeah. And like held to your face and stuff. It feels like there's like a weird moral,

I don't know, not a gray area, just bad. So after that, yeah.'t know, gray area, just bad. Just bleak. Bleak in the black. Yeah. Horror nights is kind of more fun. So maybe, Scott and Jason, that's what you need to do. You need to do this one first, and then everything else is going to seem like a piece of cake.

Oh, watch some small animals suffer, and then I can go watch Exorcist 20, The Maze. That's right, and it'll feel like a walk in the park it'll feel like just a nice literal walk in a nice park sure

getting electrocuted will make it so I don't pee my pants at Chucky the sight of Chucky that's what you need to do to fix it

just a sign of Chucky is too much for me I not to delay the Halloween Horror Nights, but there's something I was looking forward to bringing up

with Marissa here, especially, because you're, you know, you're diving back into your haunt history, but also in terms of like, well,

I'm not sure when, 2000s, 2010s history, and your guys shared history. Something came up on the Patreon recently. God damn.

You knew you weren't gonna escape so uh uh we did an episode about shaktoberfest the the shack uh long beach halloween event and this led to a discussion of the things that shack endorses and uh you know i was since i wasn't there maybe i'll just let mike ask right the question about a memory that you might have so okay so marissa i don't know if you remember this. We had a get-together. We were on an improv team together, Jason, Marissa, and I. And there was sort of like a bring-your-own-stuff night

where we kind of brought food or something. Marissa's looking like she's already kind of lost. So, hopefully. Oh, right. Keep in mind, Mike is the only person here who remembers everything Jason does. That's true. And that includes Jason.

This is over 10 years ago, too. So basically, Jason brought this up because I had forgotten about it, that Jason brought over basically like my memory is like one can of Shaq soda and a tiny sort of Twinkie-sized dessert from 7-Eleven. No, I brought like like... He says he brought three Shaq sodas and a little Twinkie. and a full-size, like,

Swiss cake roll, like... Both of you, with your hands, make the size that you recall. Jason is saying it's like this. Like it was like a Fudgy the Whale or something. Give me inches if you can. There's no way it was that big.

Reduce, reduce reduce reduce you're showing me about what's that is that like 15 more foot and a half I don't know is it a foot and a half size a foot and a half Twinkie no like a traditional it was like a red

velvet Swiss roll purchased from where from 7-Eleven when they were doing traditional home cooked. It was just very clear at the time that everyone had like kind of gone at least to a grocery store and bought like something and then Jason rolled up to the 7-Eleven

and found Shaq soda and like in my memory a very smallish kind of dessert. Maybe a little bigger than a flinky. Give me an inch count. I feel like it was like this big. I feel like it was a small. Like a single serve? Yeah, that's like six, seven inches right there. A smaller thing. So you have no memory

of this specific incident? No. Do we know where this occurred? My memory is that it was at that house that multiple people would cat sit for. Yes, that's where my brain pegged it. Because there are a couple pictures

of us and a little Yaddle from that night. That's what I remember. The Star Wars Yoda equivalent, the female Yoda equivalent Yaddle? I believe it was that night that I brought the Yaddle figure. Oh, your contribution was the Yaddle figure.

I brought food of some kind as well, which I don't remember what I brought, but I do remember bringing Yaddle. And we took many photos of Yaddle. I believe I started making like weed memes with Yaddle that night. That's cool. Yaddle's already green. Yeah. So, right.

Exactly. It's easy being green and then it would be like, I'd put like a puff of smoke or something. That's pretty dank. Pretty dank. Yeah. So, okay. So you don't remember this? This is not, you can't clear up anything.

I can't. I'm so sorry. I wish, I wish I had a memory, but I do not remember any. I feel like I'm on the stand. I do not remember any Shaq sodas. I do not remember any small or large traditional rolls from 7-Eleven. Look, that's fine. There's still

plenty of people we can ask about this. And we will. There are five more people. Anyone who may have been there. We will ask every one of them if we have to. Well, yeah. Yaddle holds the keys. Yaddle smoked us all up, and that's why

some people can't remember. Now, in the interest of not making this all about Jason accusations, I have something to point at Mike, which is the discussion of this in this episode kept going past the episode. I filmed this, and I was watching the video later,

and you, as if to recount a better type of gift you could bring to a potluck type thing said remember the one party where I brought clowny cones yes I remember that clearly okay sure yes that's a memorable thing to bring a good fun dessert

now I have a follow up question do you mean clowny do you mean from Baskin Robbins now okay now I have one more follow up question where in the world are these referred to mean clowny do you mean from baskin robbins yeah you're referring to now okay now i have one more follow-up question where in the world are these referred to as clowny cones as opposed to clown cones i believe when i was younger either we started calling them clowny cones and that's how i still say it or they made a name change at some point because you're correct they call them clown cones i was

watching i watched the video of this with aaron and she was like what the fuck is a clowny cone they they were at a certain point i don't maybe completely i don't know if my mom said it or what but you are right i apologize for the off the record saying the name wrong i was just curious where it came from because i was like i don't think it's a regional thing i think this is a like childhood thing that mike is holding on to and the fact that it may have come from your mother makes a thousand percent sense to me as well it's a good question i will look into this and see if there was ever any name change because that is how we always referred to them i was obsessed with these and if you don't know we're talking about baskin robbins would like make a little like it would be an upside down ice cream cone and they would make

a little clown face on it. I was obsessed with it, even though that ice cream had been sitting in there longer than the fresh ice cream coming from one of the cartons. Yes, worse, yeah. Older, more dried up ice cream. Hard as a rock, are you saying? Multiple days.

Yeah, the icing is really slick and almost like an oil. It's like, meh, it's that flavor. Jason warned us about the Cake Boss vending machines in Las Vegas about how bad they were. And I think you're kidding. I mean, Jason, luckily he warned us about this because I would have just gotten a ton of them. Yeah. Well, and I saw this from another video. I did not sample it.

Same Instagram, probably Vegas accounts that warn you of this type of thing is that the cake boss has like sort of cake slice vending machines but they're covered in like some sort of oil to like keep it fresh or make it look good and I feel like the clown cones are similarly like like it just doesn't taste as fresh as if you put

yeah I think so now let me say this when you said clown cones just now that was correct but now Preserved in a way that's not natural. Yeah, I think so. Now, let me say this. When you said clown cones just now, that was correct. But now that I've heard you say it, it made me a little sad. Yeah. I think now that I've gone through this, I want you to say clowny cones. It felt bad to say it like that.

So I will go back to calling them clowny cones. Wonderful. In my defense, I feel like this is a I learned it from watching you scenario where he's having clowny cones. And I was like, oh, wouldn't it be funny if I brought Shaq soda? Oh, we are blaming Michael now. No way. You're reverting timelines. You know what I mean?

Shaq happened first. No way. Clowny cones happened second. We have to have photo records somewhere. No, because Mike brought Clowny Cones to multiple social events. That might be true. It was between multiple

Clowny Cone bringing. It was likely between. And I also owned up that the Shaq soda tasted like shit. None of the flavors were good. And I would say most people coming to a hang might bring a six pack of beer.

This is what the discussion was. Maybe you bring enough for everyone. There's eight of us. I did bring enough for everyone. I was like, oh, we'll sample the shak soda. We will all have not a full can. You wouldn't bring three beers and say, oh, we'll all sample the beers.

You would bring at least one beer per each person. It's an activity. This was part of the funniness of it. I don't know. Eight sodas seemed like overkill. I mean, it would have been in retrospect knowing that the soda is horrible, but this wasn't known at the time. Yeah, yeah. So you could have given everyone a chance to experience.

Maybe some people would have like, I disagree. I will drink the entire thing. Also, the clown cones, there was forethought. The 7-Eleven was like around the corner. Oh, I'd forgotten. Yeah, for sure forgotten that we were doing it. And I was trying to save it. Save it on a budget.

Do you remember, if you can go back in time 10 plus years, you're walking into 7-Eleven. You're like, I need a quick gift for my friends to show that we are having a potluck experience. And you scan, scan, scan. You see Shaq's face and say, maybe. Like, is that what happened? I thought the cans looked fun.

And I, the little squished roll. Can you describe the can? Somebody who's never seen a Shaq soda. They were all different colors. And he was really happy on the can his his head was i love a sad shack on his head again a happy shack was on it i was gonna say his face his face was large for the can but small for shack i have i have photos here there's a there's yeah well and now and now what do you on the stand, do you or do you not think this looks

fun? This is like a fun, like, this is crazy. Should we try this? It's like a valid thing to be like, I'm friends and let's try this. This looks nuts. Sure. Okay. There's some support. Wait, did you bring all

four flavors? Because it appears there are four flavors. I don't think they had all four. It is funny, though four. Only happy. It is funny, though. Flavor happy. It is funny you didn't get like four. You know what I mean? Like even just four cans.

Because then you go, oh, well, each have half of it. Oh, each have half. Yeah. They're tall cans. I think my little arms were full. Wait a minute. You're showing me your arms. You have room for more than three cans.

You're a smaller person, but that does not... Just a little boogie-woogie bugle, boy. I can make two trips up to the register. You're shorter than us, but you're not four feet tall. Don't do your tiny Tim Kwan. I was too tired. The cans sir They were going to tip me over

How will I scratch off my lottery ticket If I have all these cans You did do a lottery You should have bought us each a lottery ticket Yeah That would have been funny Eight scratchers That's an activity

That's a better idea Well next time we're all on a Herald team together Scratchers? Huh? Eight scratchers? That's an activity. That's a better idea. Yeah. Well, next time we're all on a Herald team together. Yeah, we got to get back in classes. It's on the rise, baby. That's the place to be. I'm looking to drop another 1,500. I'd love to be taught by a 26-year-old.

That's right. Well, look, I can't pass up an opportunity to re-litigate something from many years ago. And we're not done with this. No, no, no. I don't believe so.

Yeah, yeah. There'll be more questions. It's like a wrestling feud. This isn't over. This isn't over. There's a pay-per-view in two weeks. This is our Rashomon.

Okay, that being said, now we can actually let's get spooky. Oh, a cold chill just came through the room. So we're going to, I guess we'll try to focus on this crazy new show they have. Oh, yes. In all this time, we have not said them. We'll have been in the intro, and we'll talk about other Halloween but this is the, the focus here is the Purge Dangerous Waters. Yes.

A nighttime experience that takes place on the Waterworld stunt show set. Yes. Live Sea Wars Spectacular set. I'm sorry. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, so, so that's basically, that was the most fun I had the whole night, I think. That was my favorite thing. But we did all of Horror Nights. We should talk about, you know, highlights and stuff we liked in general. That was the most fun I had the whole night, I think. That was my favorite thing.

But we did all of Horror Nights. We should talk about highlights and stuff we liked in general. I will say we first got some of the themed drinks, which we should point out. The ones with an eyeball in it? Yeah, or a glass that was rimmed with sprinkles and frosting. I mean, very clowny cone. Alcoholic clowny cone. It was a bit of an alcohol.

I'll show you a photo. Now, which of you three ordered that one? This is a low res, but that's in the middle there. I got it. It also has a light up ice cube. Light up ice cube. It was the fun choice. And I was just, I was tonguing the glass again. Traditional my style. I think it was the least fun name. Yeah. What was the fun choice And I was just I was tonguing the glass Again

I think it was the least fun name What was the name? Well it was It was peacock themed The peacock tail The streaming platform? It was just a streaming platform So right

There was like Yeah Purge Punch And that's like That's a fun name But then this was the peacock tail For the synergy of peacock The streaming service So I got Not a Paul T. Goldtini? Cocktail for the synergy of Peacock, the streaming service.

Not a Paul T. Goldtini. There should have been a scare actor playing him and not David S. Pumpkins. Can I talk to you for three straight hours? It would have maybe just been him. One room. It's literally him. I forgot what you two ordered we got Modelo's

yeah yeah you drank like adults but Mike made the right choice like he did the fun choice you don't have to defend me I'm fine I ordered

my favorite streaming services cocktail so yeah we got we got that right under the wire as far as getting into because then we

I think there was an eureka moment where we went we could get one of these and we could go and sit and watch the show. Yes, they allow you to drink and watch the nighttime spectacular. That's good. Wow. So is this top of the night? Is this the first thing you're doing? First thing. First thing we did.

Wow, wow. Was it downhill from there? Does that start it so strong? I mean, technically, because it was on the upper part of Universal. Yeah, it was on the upper lot. It was all downhill. It was all downhill for you. And then it was back the upper part of Universal. Yeah, it was on the upper lot. It was all downhill. It was all downhill for you. And then it was back up hill. Oh, okay. And then it was out the parking lot.

And then it owned. We ended with Chucky, though, which I think was one of the highlights. Yeah, I love Chucky. What does Chucky do this year? What is Chucky not doing this year, right? There's a million Chucky's in that maze. Yeah, so this is based on the show right this is based on the new show but i don't i i'm not i've only seen the first two child's

play i have not seen the show so you were probably catching all the references on peacock or sci-fi peacock yeah the peacock tail uh streaming very good they also offer a streaming service they aren't just cocktails i would say this the outside of the chucky maze looked like child's play too so there's a big toy factory the big set piece at the we're not even i don't know it's just a bunch of like dolls and boxes it was beautiful like i think visually i thought that was like the most exciting out like exterior of a maze there were some i think it leaned into the lore of Chucky. We caught up on all the Chucky movies in a row in the last year and a half.

So we could watch the Chucky TV series, which feels like the Avengers of Chucky lore. And then we dropped off after three episodes. Not because we didn't like it. There's just many things to do in the world. There's just a lot of things on TV. A lot of things to do. Yeah, much to experience. Amen amen it's like he's president now in the third season or something i know i really want to i really want to get to it but wow the yellowstone arc is that what happens i think the first season he's like the largest like land farm owner in montana and by the fourth or fifth season he's the governor i love that's how like heightened a political office yes yeah yeah when you're on when you do a show when you get bored yeah

and the maze is great like there's so many like like animatronics a lot of animatronics really like and there's a tons of Chucky's and I don't I don't even think there was a like a human performer in any of them right because I don't think so I was a human performer in any of them, right? I don't think so. I think it was all like puppets or animatronics. Yeah. And I was wondering, yeah, because I think in the old House of Horrors, I think I've told this story before, which was my pre-haunt days. My friend forced me to do it and I was freaked out the whole time. And I believe there was like a Chucky performer that pretended that they were a robot.

And then it kind of came to life and pulled like a knife on my friend's throat. And I got freaked out. We actually had a, when we went to Spain, we went to a little theme park called Tibidabo. And it's like at the top of a mountain. It's really beautiful. It like overlooks Barcelona.

Yeah. Yeah. And then there was a year round haunt there. And it was all just like IP. Famous movie monsters. All done really well. And in the middle of that maze, there was a Chucky room. And there was a little Chucky just sitting there.

It was honestly really good production value. And we just were walking by. And then they have like a lightning strike effect. And the room flashes. And he came to life. He was like, sorpresa. It was great. And we say sorpresa.

Spanish Chucky, that's amazing. Yeah. And this one, there's, I guess the finale room is the one where there's many Chuckys but then also there's a giant Chucky. Oh yeah. I didn't understand if that was a reference since I haven't seen more than three episodes of the TV show. Maybe there's a giant Chucky in Oh, yeah. I didn't understand if that was a reference since I haven't seen more than three episodes

of the TV show. Maybe there's a giant Chucky in the TV show? Right. Or maybe it's just like the giant snake in the Indiana Jones ride. It's kind of like a... It's like a manifestation of your fear. It's more than a literal...

And it was, yeah, that giant Chucky is like as tall as the ceiling probably, so it's like 12, 14 feet or something like that. Are you guys, Scott and and Jason scared of Chucky I definitely had that as a kid I was big yeah the mirror I was saying it earlier it was definitely true as a kid that the mere sight of him was a lot and I caught too much of the is it part three the military school one actually that's the only one we haven't seen but yeah really okay okay skip that that Actually that's the only one we haven't seen, but yeah. Oh really, okay, okay.

We skipped that one. That's all I've seen some of, and it scares me. Somebody gets ground up in a trash compactor or something, didn't like that, but the idea of a, like this triggers my recurring fear, which is something that's supposed to be small being big and indoors. I think I would really hate this.

Yeah, right, that's horrible. That's exactly it. Yeah, yeah would really hate it. That's horrible. Yeah. Well, never mind for me. Let me ask you, did you have a My Buddy doll? No, no. Anyone have a My Buddy? I did. You did.

You both did. Okay. I had one too, and I think I learned about Chucky, and it's like, oh, it's like an evil My Buddy doll. Yes. And I did not inquire any further. I begged for a My Buddy doll. My mom and dad got me a My Buddy doll,

and then I was terrified of this doll once my dad offhandedly called it Chucky. He was like, oh, Chucky. And then he got relegated to a closet and then when my sister my sister just kept it and like drew on its face and it only made it scarier this all is like the origin story for a chucky being neglected drawn on forgotten abused it's probably still out there oh fuck wandering the streets with crayon on its face. It's only got one thing on its mind, revenge.

Revenge. Any moment, he's like behind the curtain here. So yeah, that one felt like a good finale for us for the night because I think that was my favorite maze or I guess the other one was the Monster Heroes. Latin American Monsters maze. Yeah, that one had some crazy animatronic things going on.

There was this really cool bird lady monster. I don't know the folklore behind it. I should have looked it up before this, but she was awesome. She was like a really freaky bird. Yeah, and like big yellow feathers. Lived on a place called Sesame Street. No.

No, she was like, you know what I mean, like molted and nasty and gray and like sour-faced. Yeah, but it was such a like, we were so close to it. I'm always impressed that these things don't get taken apart by people there because it feels like so easy. I could just rip the head off. I don't do it because I'm afraid of the like metaphysical repercussions. But literal being banned from the park or that. Yes.

Because that would be I want to go on that Fast and Furious coaster. But yeah, that one like really impressed me a lot. Those were my faves too, those two. She felt like a dark mother. You know what I mean? Like the vindictive quality a mother could have. You know what I mean? Where like she's like over caring for her children in a nasty way where she's like killing their life force.

I love this, but I just want to make this clear. It's just a robot going, ah! Patronly. No, but symbolically, that's what it felt like to me. Yeah. It was the dark mother maze. I'll bring up the photo later,

but yeah. No, it was great. I just didn't feel that necessarily, but I see what you're saying. In hindsight, I see where you're headed with that. Very dark mother. Very, very dark mother.

Can I back up to Chucky for a second? Because Chucky is represented not just in this maze, but also in culinary form. Oh yeah. There is a restaurant called Chucky's Killer Barbecue. I should have eaten, we should have gotten. We walked right by it, but we were in a rush to get to the first show.

Yeah. Sure, sure. Well then you missed out, although I think the most enjoyable thing about this might be not eating but reading. And this is a sign, credit to a friend of the show, BugmaneBuzzBuzz, for finding this and sending me this. And I've been obsessed with it for weeks.

This is just a banner. You can see it if you go to the park in the daytime, too. I would like everybody, perhaps at once, however you want to do it, everyone just try to read this menu item. Go ahead. It's great. Anyone give it a shot, whenever you feel like it.

Like, out loud? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Marissa, go for it. Okay. Chuckies, Mac-ass-icker and cheese. But if the and cheese feels like it should be bigger. And cheese! It also, with that, switches back to a regular font.

We just go to Cooper Black, and then before that is like, bloody painted by Chucky himself. But this is, you could stare at this, Chucky's mac-ass-icker. It's real. It's in there, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I feel like the ass's Mac, Mask, Ax, Aska. As is in there, yeah. Yeah,

yeah. I feel like the ass. Oh yeah, it does say ass, just ass. Yeah, that's a restaurant. Is that supposed to be like,

Chucky's fucking with you, he put ass in the food. I mean, he stuck his ass in the mac and cheese. Yeah, in the little doll ass, he rubbed it all over. My ass is the secret ingredient.

So praise God. He wrote, well, he wrote it in blood Yeah So obviously I mean I don't know Where the first part of it went Nobody's selling Just ant cheese

Ant cheese No need to horrify that part Yeah Tell the customer What they're getting Tiffany probably wrote Ant cheese Yeah

Tiffany's Chucky's Life partner Oh that's The bride Br probably wrote Angie's. Tiffany is Chucky's life partner. Oh, that's the bride? Bride of. Oh, okay. Bride of Chucky. Jennifer Tills. Yeah.

I just, MacMascaskus. Macassacre? Macassacre. Macassacre. That is incredible. I'm almost happy they put something so clunky and they didn't note it to be less clunky. Yeah. It's totally good. happy they put something so clunky and they didn't like note it to be less clunky yeah no I could some of the best worst named food like you probably

talked about this if you went when they had the Ghostbusters maze there this was years ago yeah they had a one of the grossest looking things I've seen it was a hot dog with green like kind of like neon green kind of ketchup or something. Maybe it was supposed to be a relish. And it was called Slimer's Dirty Water Dog. No, no, no. Jason, would you have tried that? Yeah, of course.

I mean, most dogs, especially at a theme park made in large quantities, are sitting in that dirty hot dog water. Right, that's true. So you wouldn't have been bothered. Was that a sentence meant to prove why it's good? Yes, of course, and here's why. Dirty hot dog water.

Well, do you know about in Florida? I think it's just in Florida. They have a hot dog at Horror Nights this year that comes on a Funfetti bun. No, I haven't seen this Funfetti bun. Does it have a name? Yeah, Jason, look up the name. I'm going to look it up. While you look that up, because I have another one ready to go.

This looks a gross, strange name, too. This is the Always Come Back Corn Dog. And what does this even look like to you on the top? I mean, I'll say the ingredients, but just like, can you name a food item that you're looking at? It's like, it's a corn dog with just like, you got it. Yeah. Hot Cheetos and Jason knew. He's got the eye.

Hot Cheetos and talky crumble with an orange garlic aioli. But this is nightmarish. I thought it was kimchi. Oh, sure. That's not a bad guess. It's hard to imagine how that would blend. It looks like a fried pickle on a bed of confetti. Like a white bed of confetti.

And for this you pay $13. That's a scary amount to pay. What a deal. Okay, here we go. The Florida food. Dr. Oddfellow's Corn Evil Dog. Dr. Oddfellow is their icon this year. He's kind of like a carnival barker, like sinister guy.

I believe I learned he killed Jack, another icon of Horror Nights in the continuity of Horror Nights. This is Dr. Oddfellow's Carnival Dog, a red hot dog in a confetti hot dog bun, Kool-Aid pickles, bubblegum mustard, and potato sticks. What? Potato sticks are fries. No, no.

Like chip potato sticks. Oh. Like crushed. Just like the little slivers of potato sticks. Slivers of potato sticks, yeah. I didn't understand either of those ingredients. Bubble gum, what? Is it just stirred?

What does that mean? They can't just say that and expect me to fill in the gaps. It doesn't make me want to buy it. No. And what was the one before bubble gum mustard? Kool-Aid pickles. What does that mean? Are they soaking in Kool-Aid? Yeah, you just toss some Kool-Aid mix into the vinegar when you're making the pickles.

Also, what's red hot dog? That one's interesting. That can go a lot of ways. There's lots of different color hot dogs, like a red hot, or like I've had white hot dogs that are more poultry-based. You've had a white hot dog?

Nobody calls it a white hot dog. You know when it's kind of fuzzy and white and it's kind of been sitting in the fridge a long time? It's aged many years. Purple dogs, green dogs. I've had them all. Spectrum of dogs. He brought them to an improv party.

Jason brought three white hot dogs to an improv party. Sad white hot dogs. The one that most people. Yeah, here we go. Hoffman white hots. They look kind of like bratwurst. That looks adorable. It looks like something that should have been from hundreds of years ago and stayed there.

It looks like a hot dog got scared in a cartoon and all of its color. Here's a whole, here's multicolor, different shades of hot dog. One thing in that, you got 15 images in that Google search. There's not one that looks appetizing to me. I'm going to look at this iPad later today, and the image searches that are open are just different colored hot dogs. And your mouth will start watering all over the iPad. I will be like, I thought I closed these tabs yesterday. You should buy a pack.

You know how you get crayonsons and there's 16 colors. You should get one of those with hot dogs in them. With each different color. Wet hot dogs and a big cardboard box. Hot dogs from around the world. Yeah, that's right. I'm looking at a photo with a close up of bubble gum mustard. It's bubble gum color.

It's like salmon. And then bright red burger. And I'm reading a review that said, quote the review, it's not as offensive as we expected, but it's also not good. We wouldn't eat it again. That's the best thing you can say. Yeah. God.

I mean, if the bubblegum flavor is so strong at that point, what even makes it still mustard? Why wouldn't it just be like with bubblegum juice? Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. I guess it's just mustard where they add a bubblegum flavor, but still at that point, like what's the point?

It's a transformation, like a werewolf. It's becoming were-bubblegum. Yeah. It's no longer mustard. It's no longer, yeah. Also review, the bun was not fresh. What excuse would there be for the bun to be not fresh? There's no such thing as confetti buns

until this calendar year. Why would they not be fresh? Organic funfetti. Boy, that sounds delicious to me. And you like a stale bun, Jason? Am I wrong? Huh? You like a little stale bun

or am I wrong? Am I thinking of somebody else? I like a chewy bun. Like I like an Amorosa roll or a Martin's potato roll. Those are pretty... Those are chewy. But sometimes stale or a Martin's potato roll. Those are pretty... Those are chewy. But sometimes stale is a little...

It depends. There's good and bad stales for things. Stales for like a... Are there? For like a Portillo's or a Coles roast beef, if you're getting a lot of dip on there. Yeah, if you're soaking it. If you're soaking it,

the stale buns are better because it holds up. Right, and then it soaks it and makes the stale, the hardness a little bit less hard. Yeah. So you prefer it to be old. No, I'm not saying I want it to be old, but sometimes when things are just a little stale, it's actually kind of good. For the dip, you're saying.

For the dip. For the dip. Or in general. Because it'll fall apart maybe if the bun's too soft and you put it in the dip. Exactly. Like Lindsay likes a little stale popcorn. That's not my favorite,

but she likes it a little like it's a day past. We have a pal that opens her popcorn early and then eats it like a week later. Yep. Oh, a week later.

What an interest. Yeah, a fan of stale food. Yeah. So, you know. Jason, you might have a friend. Can we talk real quick? We've been taught, not that we've talked a lot about it,

but the phrase has come up a couple times on the show lately, plush pile. Mm-hmm. Yes? I'm just waiting for Marissa to say something, because she looks like she's about to throw up. Yeah, it, I mean, oh, God, I don't even want to say it, but it just sounded like a a way like a pervert would talk about a vagina

let me see that that is that's true i was about to say uh like you were just doing you can only say that while rubbing your hands together menacingly that is not where I was going with it. The discussion has been... I was up in Universal in the daytime when family was visiting and there are large plush piles kind of by the Starbucks, right? The one entryway.

I was not talking about a vagina. I was talking about literal piles of stuffed animals and stuff. Jason was, though. There were two of them outside the studio. He was just nude. Yeah. It was during the day. This has come up.

This is all strange now because this has come up because this is the thing that Disney Store used to have. This is the thing that Disney Store- Where a bunch of stuffed animals are in a big little pyramid. Yeah, but it's sick and twisted when Chucky is involved. Yeah. are in a big pyramid. Yeah, but it's sick and twisted when Chucky is involved, you know? Yeah, and they recreated a plush pile at Destination D in Orlando, which is for the people who pay, what, $500, they got to see what a Disney store looked like

10 years ago, which is why it came up. Worth every penny. But yeah, they have, they always do kind of a big entrance to Horror Nights that happens by the Starbucks in Hollywood that's past the Waterworld stage. And I was just like, wow, plush pile. There's a big plush pile right there.

But then there's a monster. There's also, though, a monster emerging, which looks almost like a Yeti or something. Yeah. It was a little confusing because the plush pile, I was like, oh, maybe this is tied to Chucky because there's a toy-ish theme, but it wasn't Chucky-themed. Right. I didn't know what it was for. I don't know. I don't know why it's there, but I was happy to see it because I do like a plush pile.

That is something I do like. Are people calling this a plush pile? I was like, well, I've heard that before, and then I'm like, oh, it's because Mike called it that at Halloween Horror Nights. But I think it accurately describes what it is. Much like clowny cones. Mike, you make up so many phrases. Mighty Necron. Let's look up plush pile and...

Nothing but porno. It's all porno. Well, here's what the first Google image for that phrase is from BronyCon2019. Oh, yeah. There we go. Yeah, that makes sense. Oh, maybe that is, maybe a plush pile is some sort of orgy situation. Yeah, it could be.

Well, that's a cuddle puddle. Is it with furries, though? No, I think that's after the orgy, everyone just lies around together. But the plush aspect would make it seem that there's a furry quality to it. You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah, plush pile. Yeah, that's the after the orgy. Everyone just lies around together. But the plush aspect would make it seem that there's a furry quality to it. You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. Plush pile. Yeah.

So maybe it is like a furry orgy. And maybe that's what Marissa's thinking about. Which could end in a plush pile cuddle puddle. Yes, sure. A cuddle puddle, yeah, for sure it can be, I think, furry or non-furry. Yeah. But plush pile, I think, has to be furries. And it doesn't have to be sexual, maybe.

It could be just a cuddle puddle version of it. We're all flopping together. We're all flopping. Well, you're right, though. There were plush piles at Knott's this year, too. Yeah. Yes. There was a whole room.

I mean, it was great. Really good room in one of their mazes, the chilling chambers. They had a plush pile room. Yes. There was a big plush. Yeah, like all on the wall. And it's just, you know, Michael Eisner knew what he was doing when he put a plush pile. Yes. There was a big plush. Yeah. Like all on the wall. And it's just, and you know,

Michael Eisner knew what he was doing when he put those plush piles together back in the day. Cause I've just, they're popping up and I still go, this is, I like seeing them all together. I like seeing all these, even if I don't know the characters,

it doesn't matter. But now I will never see one or hear the phrase without thinking about what Marissa said. This phrase is forever tainted. Every Disney store had one big plush pile at the very end by the big video. Watch these dens of perversion. Yeah.

QAnon is right. I'm sorry to hurt your brains. No, it's okay. Your favorite phrases. It's our favorite phrase. So yeah, that I like. Again, I like seeing that. They have the

it was a returning maze. It was the the holidays. Oh, holidays in hell. Holidays in hell maze where you go through all the holidays and they're all, of course, twisted like murderous versions of the holidays. Oh, that one was good. It was fun. And that was fun. What's the deepest cut of holiday? Because you've

got Santa and Easter Bunny, but what's the one where they're stretching it a little bit? Did they have an Arbor Day one? Yeah, there's an Arbor Day. Yeah. All right. Yeah, I feel like they expanded it since the last time. It was like maybe half as many holidays and they were like, fuck it.

Let's just do everything. It felt pretty fun. It felt longer. There was a good candy smell in the Easter section and then there was a turkey smell made you want to vomit in the Thanksgiving room. They love a stinky room.

I think the special Universal loves stinky rooms. Yes, I think that's right. I don't remember Knott's. Knott's has smells but I don't think anything like... There's a fart room this year. Oh yeah. It's like elephant butts farting at you. And it's so funny. But I think it's not...

Nuts or Universal? Nuts. Nuts has elephant farts. You just walk through and there's just elephant butts and tails fly up. Yeah. And there's a clown in there

at least the couple times we've gone where he goes like stinky and he points to the person you're with and he's like, they're the one who farted. And it's not a scare room. It's like literally you just walk through and there's just elephants farting.

This is one part of a maze that my toddler would love. He would eat up every bit of that. Well, I'm always shocked that there are toddlers going through these mazes. Every haunt. I'm not saying to do that. I'm not advocating for that. But I am always shocked. If your toddler is willing, I got a fraidy cat just like his fraidy cat dad.

God knows if you have a toddler who's into it, why not? I guess. I mean, I guess also there's that point, too, when the kid doesn't know what they're seeing even, too. Yeah. Right. There's a point when maybe they, there's like a point up till like three or four maybe where they're just like, okay, well, lights and stuff. Slashing lights. Nice.

And then they realize. It seems too loud for little ears, though. It it absolutely seems too loud too many strobe lights and stuff but i am still amazed when i see people just being like fuck it the kid's coming with because that's everywhere we i said that at meow wolf in vegas woman holding like an eight month old under her arm hiking up the spiral stairs and i I'm like, this is what? You can't be enjoying this either. Yeah. It's just like, that's okay.

Well, just fuck it. We're bringing the kid. No other option. We have to go to see what Omega Mart's all about. Yeah, so I like the holidays one. And Universal is always fun. There's a ceiling on these mazes. Maybe I've said this before. Maybe I think we've talked about it there.

Where it feels like they run out of budget for certain transitional rooms. And it feels like there's a couple just dark hallways that take you out of the immersive thing. And I don't see it at Knott's as much. Or at least I don't feel it at Knott's as much. No, I don't think it's there. Yeah. And I don't know. I don't know if it's a budget thing or if least I don't feel it at knots as much. No, I don't think it's there. Yeah. And I don't know. I don't know if it's a budget thing or if it's not.

I'm sure everyone's working hard. But I'm always a little bit like I get really psyched because I think we did that first, the dark mother maze. Thank you. And we'll call it dark mother from now on. So the evil dead rise maze should be the dark mother maze. And it's not, unfortunately. And it's not. It doesn't have a bird. maze should be the dark mother maze. And it's not, unfortunately. And it's not.

Doesn't have a bird. Yeah. And I always get kind of like, oh, like maybe this year, like it's really, they're going to take it up like a crazy notch and then like there'll be a few mazes

and like Stranger Things was like that where you're like, yeah, yeah, but it's not quite, where were the elephants farting? Where was the, where was the magic in a lot of these?

Yeah. And they didn't have, the weekend last year I really liked because it was kind of just an oddity where were the elephants farting? Where was the magic in a lot of these? And they didn't have, the weekend last year I really liked because it was kind of just an oddity for them. But it's always, there's a little something missing every year. And I wish, I don't know. I don't know how you feel about it. You're similar pages, I think.

Yeah, I feel like, I think everybody who works, like the scare actors are all really good. Absolutely, yeah. The design is limited by some, and the scare actors are all really good. Absolutely, yeah. The design is limited by some. I mean, some of the design is really good, but it feels like there's a lot of like dark hallways where people are just popping out of.

There's just a loud noise and somebody like pulling a curtain aside and like jumping out. It's like a black box theater, you know, just. It feels sort of predictable in some of the scares as well. Very. Which I guess is a thing i would say that it's a in if you're a scaredy cat is good because you kind of by the way you go i know kind of how this is going to go knots does a little more of like keeping you on your toes i feel like they're

they're using like little shaker cans and banging drums and also they're jumping over you there's a lot of like overhead scares at knots yes like things will fly at you from above. Bungie kind of elements. There's Bungie, yeah. There was Bungie at Shaq. Oh, we didn't talk about that. I was pretty surprised because you've brought that up in other haunts

and I thought that sounded pretty scary and I didn't realize I'd be encountering a Bungie guy. I didn't know they had the budget for it at Shaqtoberfest.

Yeah, pretty surprised. Animatronics, check that out on the Patreon if you want to hear more about that. Yeah. Yeah, they had Bungie money after jason bought three sodas he's still coasting on that that's how he bought a dozen more franchises the entire empire thank

you jason flush with cash ever since uh yeah nuts has the the witch on that track. Yes, I love that witch. And the Calica Origins maze. Yes, which is one of my favorites. So, yeah, if I had to ever say anything negative, first of all, it's such a hard Universal's such a hard park to walk around. Yes. You really feel exhausted

by the end of Up and Down. And there's no, again, there's no evil Starway this year again. Oh, bummer. Which really I was hoping, like, maybe they'll bring it back. But the Starway, when you're on the escalators, used to have, like, a scary voice. Oh.

And now it's just a regular voice. And they're not playing happy during this, I don't think. But they may as well be. There's that. Because the tone is still sort of just normal Starway. Or just they should do a parody of it because it's scary. Great, that would be great.

We'll love the Scarell. I think Chucky one time was the voice of the Starway. Yes, yes. So that would have been good too. But yeah, the Starway used to be like, don't smoke weed. And you'd say weed and you'd be like, whoa. Who is this this yaddle

big yaddle taking over universal studios oh i wish i wish there was like a big yaddle like you know there's a big minion you can see i wish from the five in anaheim use a big yaddle over galaxy's edge that's really what it's with. We've always felt something missing. Bloodshot eyes, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's smoked up. Oh, yeah. It's like the Disney Paris Space Mountain. There's a ride that rockets out of Yaddle's blunt. Sticking out of Yaddle's mouth.

Because Yaddle's going to the moon, you know what I mean? I think Yaddle was killed in a comic. Did I send you, or did you send me this? But did she make an appearance in one of the Disney TV shows at some point? I don't know. She's going to have to. They're running out of characters to bring back. Yeah.

We got to look. Yaddle's in season nine of Ahsoka. Everyone biting their tongues so hard it bleeds. They're like, it wasn't my favorite. It was pretty good. Oh, but Yaddle showed up. Hey. Yaddle showed up and she smoked all the Jedi up.

They didn't do anything for the rest of the episode. She drank a lot of blue milk. Jedi bottle episode because the hot pox with Yaddle. Honestly would watch it. You ever just think about the force? It's pretty trippy if you think about it. What are midichlorians?

Midichlorians? Thank you. Mac-ass-a-ker. Everybody try to say it at the same time. When all those younglings died, it was a real Macassac. We tried, this happened last year, where they make the, they turn Jurassic Patio into

a cool neon lights bar. This was the weekend last year. It was the weekend last year, but the same situation where it was too crowded up there, and it just, for how much you have to get done, it was a Stranger Things this year, right? Yeah. And again, it wasn't as fun as the weekend after hours party, but it was still like, oh, I want to go up there, and then we went up there, and the line was just insane.

The core of Jurassic Patio is that there are only five people. It's not truly Jurassic Patio if it's not mostly deserted. Yes. Jurassic Patio is a wonderful place during the day to go up and chill out jason loves his meal that now is bad he mentioned this recently there was a meal you used to love at jurassic or jurassic at the restaurant underneath i that you was fine when i had it recently what was it again well it used to be like mojo pork on a repas with rice and beans. I don't know what you... She's going so hard.

I was trying so hard. A repas. I still don't know how to say it. Marissa, is that how you say it? I know. Right. Is it... A repas.

But you don't have to do it all big. No, I want to hear you do it all big. Yeah, do it. Do it. A repas. That's close. Roll the R. A repas.

Oh, yeah. I can't roll my R like that. Do it. A ray pass. That's close. Roll the R. A ray pass. Oh, yeah. I can't roll my R like that. Sorpresa. I thought I said mojo wrong. Well, that's the English. Oh, I can't speak to that word. Oh, okay. But you said it got worse, that dish.

What happened? It just got, it's just like pork dumped on a giant plate of rice now. There's no beans. There's no. But they got rid of the beans is what you're saying? They used to have beans? Yeah, I swear they did. I swear to fucking God.

All right, all right. I believe you. No, we ate inside because it was very hot the day my family was up there, so I didn't make it up to Jurassic Patio. There is good shading, though, at Jurassic Patio as well. Pretty good. But if it was too hot, yeah. But no, it turns into a hip nightclub during horror nights

that I need. Ask anyone with a meter for what's hip. They'll tell you the hippest spot in Los Angeles. You've got to go to Jurassic Patio at horror nights. But you're saying the bar based on the TV show starring children is not as good as the bar based on the mega

pop star. Well, it didn't seem as exciting to me. And the line was still crazy but not as crazy as the weekend line. That was more, people were more drawn to a weekend club than Stranger Things Club. So it was better because there was a longer line, but you were more mad at it because the line was longer.

I would say I was more mad at it, yeah. It's also, I think it's drawing to me because it's very, it's an aesthetic I would like at a douchey pool party in Vegas. I don't want to now force us into the main topic, but this does occur to me that the aesthetic of the show we want to talk about, I mean, the first that I knew this existed, I thought of you. I think a lot of listeners were the same. Thank you for thinking of me.

And I guess I think that just being that there are light strips in it. Yeah, it's dark, and there's lasers, and and it's neon and I like that and music is loud I don't know if neon is hip neon is timeless I do I agree with you I think we all like neon right? oh yeah

I love a neon sign give me that old gas old gas and glass yeah yeah well yeah the show we crunch, crunch. Old gas in the glass. The crackle. Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah. And the show we're talking about has a lot of neon. It has smoke.

It has lasers. It has EDM music as well. Well, this is, if I could read the tweet, because this is probably the first I heard of it, and I definitely saw listeners going, ooh, my mic meter is going off. Correct. Don't miss this new show

where you will be thrust into the purge during a fiery EDM-fueled stunt spectacular. Unprecedented fuel for a stunt spectacular. Does anything sound better than that? Now this is, just to clarify, I don't know that you listen to a lot of EDM. I don't. I was about to put you on this,

but now name your three favorite EDM artists. So we were leaving, and they're playing this loud music, and we'll reveal why in a second. But they're playing this loud music, and I think I said to both of you, I said, was this the Prodigy? It did. Yeah, it did sound like Firestarter, but a little off. This is old 25-year-old music. I think our bud that sang in it, he passed away on Forge.

Oh, is that right? Oh, I didn't know that. Oh, I see. So The Prodigy, yeah. So that was my reference essentially to EDM, but it didn't sound that dissimilar to The Prodigy. No, it truly- I don't think I was so crazy.

I wasn't so wrong about how it sounded. It sounded like something very derivative of it or almost like a remix, an homage to it. You know? Well, theme park legally. Yeah. Theme park EDM, that makes sense that it would be maybe not the most cutting edge.

Yes. Kind of a pastiche of an older rendition of that type of music. That's what I liked about it. It felt familiar. Yes. Which is nice. so yeah so this is a purge themed show and they're using the bones and the set i shouldn't say i should just say set

of the water world show so it's exact they haven't changed the set very much but and they don't use certain there's no like the plane doesn't happen the big plane i was wondering because it's been a while since I saw the actual water world shown. I was like, maybe I get to see the plane. I'm like, oh, they're going to make you pay another day to see the plane. I guess so. Yeah, I was wondering if they would shoot something else over the wall. Yeah. But I don't think there was.

Like a purge banner? There were a lot of banners in the world. I think that was the most significant change. Yeah, yeah. And like day glow, like it's written in paint. You can't see when you come in and then they shine lights on it. And they have purge light, different colored lights with the masks. The purge masks.

I don't know how to describe it. The X's over the I's. Yeah, the iconography of the purge. That the purgers wear often. We did some purge stuff at this point two years ago. Yeah, that's right. of the Purge. That the Purgers wear often. We did some Purge stuff, like, this point two years ago. Yeah, that's right. With Jaquese. Yeah.

And I have not seen a Purge movie still. I have not watched one. So I don't know anything more than I did then about the Purge. Whatever I learned there is what I know. But that's how it should be, you know? You shouldn't have to be a Purge expert. No, and they don't make you need to know anything. It's a simple show.

I've never seen any Purge movies either, but what feels like 200 years of Halloween Horror Nights having the Purge as a theme has taught me everything I need to know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's a series of movies in one season of a tv show i believe where they that features a announce an announcer telling you what the purge is in every one of them including this show yeah this is a recurring

you are reminded for sure you can come in on any purge i would think including the live show good idea purge is a fun high well, fun may be weird, a good high concept idea, but I've never had the desire to see a movie. Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. It feels like it will be upsetting. Yeah, I don't think there are always such orgies of horror. Throw over the top.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Summer campy. I watched the first one, I think, before we talked to Jaquise tonight. Ooh, okay. First one pretty exciting it almost feels like more of a real movie you know the way horror movies kind of start to get

like pulpy and like the actors are kind of you know there's no more actors you've heard of in them and so the first Purge is real that's Ethan Hawke in that one good casting okay maybe I gotta get into the Purge I didn't know he was in that.

I'll watch that. It gets from Ethan Hawke to Frank Grillo very quickly in terms of stars. No shade to Grillo. Yeah, yeah. Multi-Goldman cast member. Don't let Grillo out here. He's a tough guy.

He's gonna come after you. What'd you say about me? So, yeah. So the show. So basically, yeah, the show starts with like an evil senator and his team kind of coming in and like relishing the idea that the purge, which if you don't know, the purge is like a 12 hour period where murder is legal. And it's basically, you know, poor people kill each other while the very rich people

and politicians all kind of like enjoy the chaos of all of it well i hate to correct you all crime is legal yeah you're right yes including the way they say all crime is legal including murder generally that's like the really underscoring for it but it's really it seems to be i think a recurring thing is that yeah if you don't have a lot of money you're screwed in the purge if't have a lot of money, you're screwed in the purge. If you have a lot of money, you can fortify these big compounds, which break always and lead to the most purging happening to you. Oh, yes, it's class warfare. And, yeah, so the show starts with a very cocky senator talking about

he's going to his whatever safe house. Do we have a name? Or is he just Senator? Wait, I think I heard Phil, but I don't know about last name. Yeah. I want to know the full mythology. I wanted to, too, and I was listening to it, and I was like, I can't get a clear name from the video I'm watching.

Yeah. And, yeah. So there's somebody, there's like, he calls his advisor a name, but I couldn't catch the actual Senator's last name. Well, he's one of the new founding fathers. Sure. They're the people who instituted the purge right right right um and yeah he's very cocky but i was gonna watch he loves to see all these people hurting each other he's almost salivating he's salivating yes and he's a perfect villain it felt very like broad 80s action movie vibes which i really enjoyed yes absolutely, absolutely. It felt like that.

And then, yeah, very quickly, the good guys of the piece, which are the, I don't know, they're like of a group. I forget if they have a name or not. The Purge-sistance. The Purge-sistance. Let's call them that. The sisters. Yeah.

Right? Yeah. I watched it a couple of times. Well, you don't know. You don't know. You don't know. You don't know. She's now oiled that. There's a sister.

There's a sister who is the baddie at the beginning. Yes. But she's good. She's a good baddie. Oh, yeah. The Gal Friday one. Yeah. Yeah.

There's a turn that happens. Yeah. So, yeah. Then at that point, there's a helicopter noise and then shooting happens. So yeah, then at that point, there's a helicopter noise and then shooting happens. And then like pretty quickly, EDM starts blasting and water ski or excuse me, jet skis fly out the sides with neon on them and just start doing the normal jet ski tricks that you're allowed to do in a tiny space like this. Well, it's like they like cross each other and then turn around and cross each other again.

They can't. There's a limited amount of things they can do for this. Still cool to synchronize, even in a Resistance Murderous Knight situation. It looks neat. That being said, it was very exciting when they flew out. I got very excited. It was thrilling.

You guys also, I don't... Oh, I was going to say, the interesting thing to me in this is it is uh all the major stunts of the water world show intact in different contexts yeah sure probably the the thing you want the least for like stunt performers a laser light show also going on oh not at the same time usually like people aren't doing giant falls while lasers are happening but i just thought it was very interesting combination of like no one has to drop while a laser gets in their eye which makes them stumble back the wrong way and fall not into the water. Because, yeah, it is dangerous to do this stuff. So, yeah, if somebody got hit with a stray laser,

that would probably be bad. Yeah, I was nervous for them. I was like, are these the same stunt performers as the Waterworld ones? Because I feel like it's like doing a different show on the same stage in a different order. Would you mix shit up? Yes.

Oh, very good. Sure. Because you're so big. If you've been doing it for 20 years, a lot of those people. Yeah, yeah, yeah good point. Because you're so bad if you've been doing it for 20 years. A lot of those people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. So they go to the wrong queue where they're supposed to fight the mariner.

But no, they're supposed to fight the senator's aide. And then they're in the wrong spot. And then the whole show gets screwed up because of how many queues that are probably locked into the soundtrack. Yeah. Yeah. But no, that didn't seem to happen. Nope.

At least they covered it if it didn't. Or they covered it up nicely if it didn't sure i was gonna say not to like uh back up to some like uh it just seemed to me from the the video that an exciting moment is pre-story where just a bunch of lasers flash like that tells you what you're getting that you're getting into an edm fueled stunt spectacular edm fueled is a very good way to describe something. I would like to say it as much as I could. Imagine a music fueling something. Music being a liquid.

EDM could fuel cars in the future. If you play EDM loud enough. We could combat climate change with EDM fuel. That's right. EDM-fueled mustard bubble gum These are alternative Energy sources One moment though is that I saw that this existed And I saw a thumbnail of the video

And I just watched the very Beginning of it Not knowing we were going to be doing an episode And just from seeing the first ten seconds Where lasers flash and are redone Waterworld stunt show My first reaction was oh my god This looks pretty dumb seeing the first 10 seconds where lasers flash and are redone water world stunt show my first reaction was oh my god this looks pretty dumb then i talked to both of you mike and jason and

in separate interactions you both said oh my god that looks so cool maybe just illustrates the difference that's an aesthetic difference or maybe i'm maybe i'm too cynical that might illustrate my too high of cynicism. Medium fuel wasn't in me yet. Well, you hadn't gotten to the third giant element of the show, the many throat slashes. Yes. Yeah, yeah.

Uh-huh. Yes. Violence is hardcore, that's for sure. I would say it's brutal bloodshed. It's like explosions of blood. It's like mortal of blood. It's like very Mortal Kombat finishing moves like, you know, like a huge... To be able to see

a spray of blood at night in that big a stage... Yeah, how close are you? We were far. We were in the back row. Right next to the speakers that make the helicopter noise. Yes. It was very, yeah. I hate to say it, maybe a bit too loud. I don't like admitting that. Too douchey? At Horror Night? Not douche very, yeah. I hate to say it, maybe a bit too loud.

I don't like admitting that. Too douchey? At Horror Night? Not douchey, no. Maybe a bit too loud, just a little. But I can handle it. I can handle it. You know, we could go through the plot, but as you flash back to these horrible moments, Marissa,

what is the one that, like, that one that that one is what would keep you up at night? Truly, the amount of blood that gushes forth and sprays, I was like, I can't believe they're doing this. I just didn't expect that at a theme park. And I loved it. I'm on board for it, but

it was shocking. Well, so cartoonish. Yes. And it's like there's like hoses hidden i think in like crates oh yeah i couldn't tell where it was coming from in a video i think that you really can't tell yeah i think that's a guess because it just felt like there's no this is such like propulsion it feels like there's no way it's in like a sleeve of a performer it would blow their arm off there was like a head Didn't somebody's head get smashed? Yes. It was like they laid their head down, like hit them with something, like a wrench.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's throats, heads. There's a point where the senator, I think it's a senator, is like begging for his wife's life. And then they just go like no fuck her and they kick her into a big barrel and then they like fire a gun into the barrel and it blows up or it's like the aid and then there's like like that guy gets killed by his neck being sliced in another horror movie she's like blood spurt and you're like this is insane this is so like cartoonishly over the top um does it feel uh justified in the story from what you can well in the in the like uh yeah i mean that's the whole isn't that every

purge where like the the rich people are getting their comeuppance yeah at one point they say this is not revenge it's justice yeah yeah and it really resonated. Over, like it really resonated. Which means it was really big because it was hard to resonate over that. Of course, yeah. With such an aggressive beat. And yeah, it was just like, it was, yeah, like Justin's saying,

like seeing an 80s action movie live, which, yeah, I thought, look, when I saw that this existed i was just excited about the lights in the edm i didn't know anything about the gore or the cartoonishness of it that was an ad is going to use the stage and like not do as big a show and it was pretty significant yeah i feel like that's what they have universal i think you know say what you will about the mazes versus other places and you know the kind of conventional scares that we sort of talked about sometimes happening. I feel like nobody could do a show like that at any other theme park but Universal.

So I was like, why haven't they done this? Yeah. Every year. It's got like the high production value, like a high budget. Yeah. Mixed with like being genuinely upsetting and kind of edgy yeah um yeah that's that i don't think you're gonna see that knots maybe you'll go edgier but the budgets are lower so it's an interesting blend for sure yeah apparently they did i because i was trying

to like re-watch like the old miami vice show and like this one and i didn't realize that they had done a horror nightsights thing before. Have you? Oh, yeah. Which was the show? Which one? Slaughter World. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Two years. Yeah. Which looked even bloodier. Right. Wow. Wow. Yeah, I couldn't.

I didn't watch a video to refresh my memory. We definitely talked about that forever ago. But that's it's insane that this is the second iteration. And I guess you got it. Well, you know, you saw one live and maybe saw a video of the other um i don't know i don't know how you if you had to compare them was there anything about slaughter world that seemed superior slaughter world kind of felt more akin to knots is like the hanging or like the bill and ted show maybe like a little bit more like

provocative edgelordy jokes oh yeah they're the main attraction is that they might say you know shit right they'll they'll offend you if you're easily offended then get out of this you know they'll be like a dr phil joke but it'll be like blue yes it'll be a little bit off kilter and i have more songs i think in it like there was like musical numbers in Slaughter World. I seem to recall that there's sort of like a leather-clad female equivalent of the... Oh, yeah, we did talk about this. And that the entrance music on that big fan boat is Nelly Furtado's Maneater.

Oh, and there's not only stunts But like stunt like sex Essentially like there's like a big like Intense make out This is scandalous I've never filmed this like clearly filmed it A few times and they definitely had a punch in Of like they knew that like There was going to be the steamy part in like the front row

And it's just like They're going at each other's Mouths with the level That only a stunt person can. It wouldn't be safe for normal people to do that to each other. No, absolutely not. I saw somebody on those WGA picket lines just, you know, to try to get, you know, drum up support for the WGA. Like, that guy who lit himself on fire who was a stunt person just making out with somebody really dangerous.

In a dangerous way. Like, teeth were in trouble if you didn't know what you were doing oh yeah that was teeth on teeth if you don't know what you're doing yeah shattered all two sets of teeth if you try to do it like that um what i think is interesting about this too is it feels like it's a normal theme park stunt show trope of like something's happening. And then here comes some people like invaders. But generally, it's like those are the bad guys. So it's like usually like, oh, the Joker has shown up and now the fight happens. But this version is the good guys of the story show up and are now just gonna kill the people that were there first.

So like it's flipping the normal show. It's colonization, baby. Sure. Well, do you think that we're saying how this show is reflective of our times in a way and the notion of getting revenge against corrupt politicians? Do you think like maybe a show like this

couldn't have been done before uh the current era i uh i would think that that's giving everyone a lot of credit and maybe they deserve it but i'm never i'm never sure exactly what the the universal creatives because bill and ted isn't too far away as far as in our memories of uh so yeah i i guess i guess there's uh there's certainly politics in the show i guess you can't avoid that but it's tough to like we were saying before how like you kind of you know or you like the idea maybe of like getting ours against the the crooked politician but then the biggest scale version of this that we've seen in america i don't agree with the people who are climbing the Capitol walls.

Let's see. Let's say if it's meant to be a January 6th analog, I guess I don't like that. I don't think so. I don't think the show is trying to convince us that they're the good guys. I don't think so.

Cool. The problem, you weren't rooting for the MAGA people because they weren't playing cool enough music. Not enough lasers. They didn't bring lasers, only zip ties. If the shaman had EDM blasting from a boombox, everything would have been different, I guess. It would have changed the whole vibe. I don't think this show was really giving any sort of nuance to things. I think it was a very simple idea and maybe deconstructing sort of January 6th

and what exactly happened might have taken longer than 15 minutes. Yeah. It seems pretty focused on purge-based political specifics. Yeah, yeah. I think you need, I think it's going to have to at least be the length of the Aladdin show

at Disney's California Adventure to really get into sort of the ins and outs of what was happening that day. Is that about 45 or? 45, yeah, 45. It depends on the day. 45 to an hour, right? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, okay. Or so. So you need your topical, your genie character slot who can address like the current, you know, the Kevin McCarthy situation. Yeah, he can poke fun at it. Yeah, of course, he can poke yeah of course he can put fun in it he can ask questions sides of the eye right right it's a rare figure who can do that nowadays but the genie it's got the magic and that year when apple

removed the headphone jack from the iphone like the show got much longer you know he had a lot of jokes about the headphone jack. You mean the Aladdin show or the hypothetical show we're talking about? The Aladdin show. The Aladdin show. They had to add five minutes to that show. Yeah, well, and then, yeah, because they're not going to cut the Dr. Phil stuff.

No, no. But they had to get new props where he's trying to plug a regular headphone into, like into an iPhone. Your wish should be bringing the headphone jack. Yeah, Snooki. You can't lose Snooki. Was Snooki in the Slaughter World show?

I bet she was. I did honestly do some fast forward. What? Double tap like 10 seconds ahead. 10 seconds, 10 seconds. I was like, okay, there's not a stunt. Go, go dancing. No Snooki joke. 10 seconds, 10 seconds. I was like, okay, there's not a stunt. Go, go dancing. No Snooki joke.

Fast forward, fast forward. Yeah, so I was imagining like, oh yeah, this is where the Riddler would show up at Six Flags. And now it's sort of turned on its head. But yeah, they do all, as Jason was saying, it's like repurposed stunts. They use that like zip line kind of thing with a cage to like get to platforms.

And the action's happening everywhere, like right in front of us too a cage yeah like get to platforms and the action's happening everywhere like right in front of us too yeah so the blood cannons are everywhere yeah well i would say because there's like these like scaffolding kind of uh structures and there are some guys that uh just have some neon reflective you know goggles on and they're just climbing up and climbing down i think that's all they did was climb up and climb down like a lizard, you know? And then they're like, oh, now I'll come down. So I don't know if the guys closest to us were doing all that much, but they added some ambiance. Yeah.

There's lookouts maybe. Yeah. I think that was just to me like, ooh, it's dangerous. It's wild. There's something happening everywhere. Yeah. Every corner of the. So there was like, there was blood spray right by us somewhere.

And I do wonder, I wish there was like, there wasn't like a media thing for not to where I think we could have toured some of the behind the scenes. I would have been very interested. Where are you hiding the blood cannons? I want to see the blood cannons during the day. Could they shoot something else? Maybe are they like shooting water during the like during the water world show perhaps like I don't know the answer to these questions these are just hypothetical but I would be

right maybe there's a tank of water somewhere they replace it with a tank of fake blood I love it and they could replace it with a tank of bubblegum mustard for another show well I was gonna say they just dump a packet of the Kool-Aid of the mustard Kool-Aid

this is when this type of hot say they just dump a packet of the Kool-Aid, of the mustard Kool-Aid. Oh, yeah, maybe. The pickle Kool-Aid. This is when this type of hot dog really takes off coast to coast. Yeah. And then a new show becomes like, you know, it's, wait, what was the evil character? There was a doctor. Oh, Dr. Oddfellow. Yeah, all right.

Dr. Oddfellow's giant hot dog factory. Oh, man. You still have the water tank, but it's dirty hot dog factory oh man it's all the what that you still have the water tank but it's dirty hot dog yeah they send giant hot dogs sailing past kool-aid starring jason yeah yeah yes and he's dr yeah it could be a non-order character just like yeah there's nothing scary about it hello dr wiener and then enjoy yeah wiener and then enjoy the last room

chocolate covered starfish oh my god there's a room too yeah well that's the room at the end they launch

up you do the show then you walk into a tiny room yeah yeah that's where the water is yeah yeah

yeah and there's a plush pile in there not the one you think which one are you thinking that's up to you That's where the water is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And there's a plush pile in there. Not the one you think. Which one are you thinking? That's up to you. No further questions. You choose.

The end of the show is particularly, I don't know, it's not crazier, but it just feels a little crazier because it's like they finally have the senator cornered. That twist, which all the advisor is actually the sister of one of the resistance people. And the senator is begging for his life. He's trying to make a deal. They're at the highest part of the set. I don't know if you guys saw this. Yeah.

The highest part of the set. And essentially what just happens is they say, yeah, this is not revenge. This is justice. And they set the man on fire and shoot him into the water and as soon as Marissa's eyes are wide and as soon as he hits the water EDM dance party starts

and it is like the end of the Criss Angel show where he has the rave to stop pediatric cancer it felt exactly the same thing only this time now they're celebrating that a man fell from a very high height while on fire.

We killed a man. We killed a man via falling and a flamethrower. Am I crazy or does the regular Waterworld show, does not someone just emerge on fire as opposed to another actor has to blast a flamethrower and it's aimed at their face, and their face is just, clearly their face is liquided up,

like the flame return stuff, but that's a nuts level of coordination. Regular Waterworld, I think they just shoot a flare gun at the deacon who's clearly wearing a mask and is covered in goo. But this guy's not wearing a mask, it's just a regular guy's real face.

It's a regular guy and then someone's up there with the flamethrower like dancing. And I applaud it. Like I truly, and I don't know what that says about me.

I feel like there were multiple moments where I went, yeah! Like you didn't know what was happening as you were clapping. We all celebrated

like our kid had won a soccer game. Everyone was so excited for just the absurd moment to have happened. And then just the, it was a mix of the, yeah, it's a crazy looking stunt. And then the dance party that is immediate. Everyone dances. Everyone is dancing while the EDM plays. And it's ridiculous. That's the end of the show.

That's the show, right? And then they send you, the lights come up and they send you on your way. And you have to figure out which way to go because there are multiple ways to go. And I was like, which way is the exit? Yes. And this show was packed. Like the Waterworld show is still packed because that's why it's still going on. It seems ridiculous.

But they're building new Waterworld shows. Across the globe. Across the globe. New tributes to atolls. Really? Yeah, yeah. There's been new ones in the last three years. Are you kidding me?

Universal Beijing has a whole land with it. It expanded. It's a restaurant too. Because the show is so popular. Yeah, it's a land. It is such a popular show. Not movie, show. I remember seeing it in the theater and being horrified

because I was a child and I was like, oh no, is water going to be an issue? It was just so scary. Yeah, I know. You're a guilt person or whatever. But yeah, the place was packed. Even more packed, I feel like, than a normal Waterworld show, maybe.

It's the only time I ever wanted to see a show at Horror Nights, though. I think every other time it's like only time i ever wanted to see a show at horror nights though i think every other time it's like what like jabberwockies or yeah yeah i was like why aren't you just doing the beetlejuice show again just do that yeah yeah i know i know well get everybody in the theater groping and touching each other's dicks over the pants getting getting all bobert the horniest show in entertainment genie would be talking about bobert do you think genie would be booed by the current california adventure crowd for his half of it for a bobert yeah yeah i don't know i don't think she's much beloved. Jeannie's a very Leno sort of type

where he's going to go after all sides. So I feel like they can appreciate that about Jeannie is that he's not political. He's just in it for the jokes. So I think that he wouldn't get booed. But I could be wrong. And then he'll hit him with a Gavin Newsom French laundry. Probably.

That's Jay's philosophy. He would do a Boebert, then a French laundry, and then everybody's happy. Yeah, yeah. And Jeannie's very much a populist like that. I also just want to say, I think it's crazy

that they would depict a senator getting lit on fire and then falling to their death because I don't know if you saw the full autopsy of the death report, but that's how Dianne Feinstein died.

And she was back in office the next day. Alright, we still got enough here. Charred remains, put in the chair. Seems insensitive. I did not know that. You would assume old age, but once the report came out.

The Waterworld report came out. It was at the Waterworld show, too. But unrelated to the show. She was just attending. Well, that's where her office is. At the top of the edge. At the top, yeah. Honestly, on that big plane.

She's from California. That's right. If you could pick an office anywhere, for sure you'd be there. Actually, having the death so close to a big dance party, maybe that is how the January 6th people thought it would go. Probably. I bet that is true. So we'll light Mike Pence on fire,

make him walk off the top of the Capitol building, and then we'll all... Everyone agrees. The cops start high-fiving us. Did you just say, are you humming Y'all Ready For This? Yeah. Well, is it not? Has the music progressed, are you humming Y'all Ready For This? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, is it not? Has the music progressed

that much further than Y'all Ready For This? Not so much. I was just thinking it was an interesting choice. Yeah, yeah. No, it had more of it. It was a slightly,

it was more of a It's a remix. It sounds like, yeah, yeah. It's a dubstep break in the Y'all Ready for This. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. It was a newer version of it. I guarantee in some theme park on this planet in the last 24 hours, Y'all Ready for This has played somewhere. Oh, I'm sure. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I would think so.

Yeah. There was a video of Michael Jordan on vacation somewhere, and somebody played the intro song for the Bulls while he was there, and everyone's going nuts. Oh. And I was like, yeah. What did he think? Was he annoyed by it? No, he seemed like he was having a great time. Thank God.

You do not want to get on his bad side. He's watching an iPad later and thinking about you. I was in hedonism and I heard there's a DJ there and I took offense to that. I was upset. With his

drink level constantly going up and down between shots. Sure, yeah, yeah. He seemed happy. He didn't get up or anything. So he didn't come leave to enter again as they play the music. It would have been great if he did the whole thing and had the jersey like Superman maybe.

He's always got it on underneath. He would like to still be playing. He was like, yeah like yeah like given one of these which i like very good um so anyway so that's the show it's a simple show yeah yeah but a very uh simple show about simple people with laser capes laser mohawks. Homespun. All right, he's running. Real Americans. Mike's running. But yeah, definitely the highlight

of Horror Nights this year for me. Yeah. For you guys too? Yeah, I think it was like definitely tops. I mean that, Chucky, Monstros, all that stuff. But I feel like it's something you can't get anywhere else. Yeah, yes.

And yeah, with budget wise obviously there's grosser things there's fetus stuff that you can go do somewhere but that's for that's a different budget level you're not getting a high budget water world show where they're throwing emotional budget yeah yeah you need a high emotional budget

I don't think we have the emotional budget for that right talking about it this has got to be the highest budget for that. Right. We're still talking about it. This has got to be the highest budget gore show that exists in a theme park. Yeah. I would think. Maybe.

I don't know what's going on in Orlando, but I bet you're right. Yeah. Maybe because scale. Yeah. I feel like we touched on it briefly, but now I'm not going to know the name. In Orlando, there's the show, our commenters bring it up. Oh, Nightmare Fuel. I feel like we need to go deeper into that because that might be the bawdiest.

I think that's the bawdier, yeah. This is more of an action show and that's more of the topical material show, I think. Or is it more about sexy dancing? Women flipping their hair back. There's some of that as well. Can you imagine in a theme park? Yeah, I can't and I don't want to.

And I will not refuse it. But is there any plus ups can we think? Is there any way to make the show better? Is there any improvement? I mean, longer? I mean, let's bring the plane into the show. Yeah, we have. Yes show How would you decorate it though Well it's gotta have like crazy like neon piping

Yeah You could put some neon piping Maybe like a tasteful bikini What? A tasteful plane sized bikini Oh the plane is wearing a bathing suit Yeah Like a neon bikini

So will the plane have eyelashes painted on the windshield? No, don't be ridiculous. So the plane is not an anthropomorphic plane that you're attracted to? It's just a bikini plane. Yeah. This is the purge. Anything's legal, even a bikini plane. I mean, it could be.

I guess with the purge you could put some eyelashes but you don't want to hold on hold on here hold on everyone hold on okay if you make it to anthropomorphic you get into planes fire and rescue territory well i'm just i'm feeling out what the idea you've thrown out here is the plane over like a purger plane like have they dressed up the plane for fun or is the plane coming to rescue them and the plane is the plane alive is what you're that's what i'm asking i think well maybe the plane has like the neon mask for the movies with like the neon X's and stuff. Yeah. And then it also has like- A bikini. Or chaps.

Because you think- Where? What is the part of the plane where chaps would go? Hanging off the wings or the tail? Wings? Oh, I guess there are wings on a plane. Yeah, there are wings on a plane. I was imagining a helicopter.

It's not a- Yeah, yeah, right. It's a seaplane, not a helicopter. Okay. I hate to ask this and I don't want to be so, is the landing gear the bosom of the plane? Is that where the bikini would be on? Or is it upside down?

Or is it upside down? The bosom's on top. Is the bosom on top of the plane? I mean, this is something for Universal Creative to work on. Oh, you don't want to decide. No, no. This isn't my call, you know? Well, okay.

Jason doesn't want to put... I think it's a living plane. That would be fun for me, I think, is if now Purge has planes that are alive and can feel and... And can land after the senator's death and say, hey, guys, let's party. Let's party. That's it, yeah.

The plane is almost like Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack or something, where it's just like, hey guys, let's party. Let's party. That's it, yeah. The plane is almost like Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack or something, where it's just like, hey, I'm here. Or like Back to School, because Rodney does a big dive at the end. That's the most current reference I could have made for a character that shows up that wants to party. Who wants to party.

50 years ago, there was a movie. It kind of tracks with the music that was playing at the Purge. Very true, yeah. It wasn't Kenny Loggins playing after the Purge. Oh, that was a movie. I mean, it kind of tracks with the music that was playing at the Purge. Very true, yeah. It wasn't Kenny Loggins playing after the Purge. Oh, that's a good plus up. Maybe one Kenny Loggins song in the show. An EDM, I'm all right.

Hey, everybody, we're going to get laid, as somebody says at the end, and then Kenny Loggins' I'm all right plays at the end of a Purge stunt show. It's an evil caddy show. Slaughter Shack. Slaughter Shack? Who owns it? Does Universal own it? Don't remember.

I don't know. Jason, can you help us out here? Who owns Caddy Shack? Yeah. Very important we look this up. Any other ideas plus wise, or things you'd want to see even in the Waterworld show, like a different property or something that you could do a kind of gory show. What are your favorite horror movies?

I love The Thing. Sure. John Carpenter's The Thing. That would be a great maze. Have they done that? I think they did it in 2011. Okay. When they were doing it.

Or like the requel kind of one. Yeah. I was too afraid to go to Haunts at that point. Oh, yeah. That's a good idea. But I've watched a video and I've been like, damn, I But I was too afraid to go to haunts at that point. Oh, yeah. That's a good idea. But I've watched a video and I've been like, damn, I wish I wasn't afraid when that happened. I wish I could have somebody, in their words,

neg me into someday. I'd love to bring Jaws into that area, right? That kind of makes sense. I know we already got Jaws on the lot. Oh, but a live Jaws show? Yeah, I think that'd be pretty fun. A Jaws is pumping up? Yeah. Maybe eating people

and blood is spraying out of its mouth or something. Yeah. Whoa. How would you do the stunts that have to happen above? Well, in Jaws 2, there is a scene where there's a rescue copter that comes and Jaws jumps and bites onto it and drags it down.

So I'd love to see that recreated in front of an audience. And Jaws 3 is in SeaWorld. So you have justified water skiers and water skier towers and stuff. That's already ready to go. And at the end you dress the plane up like a giant shark

with a bikini on it. A bikini on it. With a bikini. I don't know which side is which. That's for Universal to decide. Well, Mike, good news. Caddyshack was released by Warner Brothers and Universal already has, with the Harry Potter deal,

a co-theme park deal with Warner Brothers. You're saying that's gonna be no problem so i'm saying they'll get caddy shack in there you know good news this is good news my so as long as they dug ken the doug kenny estate gets a dollar per ticket like jk rowling yeah that's fine also did we know about the murray brothers caddy shack, the golf-themed restaurant owned by the Murray Brothers. My God, no. If it existed in Celebruary when Marissa was here last,

then we sadly didn't bring it up. Where is that? St. Augustine, Florida? Interesting, because the Murray Brothers, I know about their golf clothing line that exists and their golf accessories, but I did not know about the restaurant. So that's interesting.

We'll have to look into that. It's got a giant golf ball. Oh, and it says Caddyshack on it. That's fun. Yeah. You know what you're getting into. It's so like dumb, you know, Planet Hollywood style. Rarely has there been a building in the last few years

where something was added flying out of or into the building? Yeah, I know. Only CityWalk. That's why you gotta go up there. Well, I think we made it, and I think that I can say, Monstresa Shriekland and Justin Michael Myers, you survived

Probably not. We have a section called snail mail where people call in as like plants or animals and things. And they get advice from us, a rock and a leaf. I did it. Yeah. Right. Jason, have you done it?

No. Okay, well, you're next. It was a... A house. I believe a haunted house at Horror Nights. Marissa also brought Tato chips. Yeah.

Yeah, so really briefly, Justin and I went to ireland and you know before you guys i had zero affinity with mr tato and now oh yes we covered tato park this irish theme park in our european vacation series and you did the episode despite not having been there you just like sparks to the idea of it and that was a particularly delightful one i thought in deepest pandemic and now you've been well i've been to ireland i haven't been to tato park was rebranded did it like rebranded emerald park i think now i forgot um had tato still been the mascot of the park we would have definitely gone but yes our flight was delayed you know there there wasn wasn't time to drive the distance to get there.

We would have gotten there right at closing. So we did not go to Emerald Park. I'm sure it's lovely. But I did want you to eat some of my canon husband, Mr. Tato. I brought cheese and onion chips, or they're calling it flavor potato crisps. Not potato sticks? No, not the little sticks.

That's for hot dogs. That's for novelty hot dogs. Those are hot dog dressings. But I hope you enjoy. You know, Tato's still got his hat. He's still waving his four fingers, and you know, he's happy. Wow, wow.

Oh, it's so nice to hear. It's so nice to hear you guys are doing well. Yeah, it's real great. Good for me to be humiliated publicly with your new husband. Sorry, sorry. A mascot on a chip bag. Yeah.

Join the cuddle puddle. He's in my, you're all, everybody get in there. I mean, those crisps are gonna be crushed if you cuddle too hard. Crush crisp, you know. If you cuddle with, if you cuddle with Tato himself too hard, he will be crushed.

He will be crushed. The mask will be out. Yeah. Well, this is Deleve. So happy to have both you guys in together. The dream scenario. This is wonderful. And as for us, you can find us on X.
