FOREVER! DOG! Warning! Today's episode includes everyone's least favorite Indiana Jones adventure, old oars with old men's names, and the thrilling conclusion to a tale involving two pizzas. Welcome to our Tropical Hideaway episode, you lucky people you. It's Podcast The Ride, hosted by three grown men who can finally sleep at night knowing that Munch's Make Believe Band is fully intact at several Chuck E. Cheese locations across this great nation.

I'm Scott Gairdner, joined by Mike Carlson and Jason Sheridan. I'm Mike Carlson. I saw a couple people tweeted us this, letting us know of certain locations where, yeah, the full Chuck E. Cheese band is still playing and rocking out at the restaurant. Because we were worried, because they're supposedly getting rid of the band. Yeah. This is Jason Sheridan, by the way. It may still happen. And it's been in the process of happening for a long time.

This is following up on something we talked about In our episode about Fellow beloved food Centric animatronic Sunny Eclipse With Jenny Nicholson we were expressed our Concern that the band was starting to disappear And for a long time there's been this version That's a bunch of screens and only

One Chuck E. Cheese who I don't Like who just has big Boring t-shirt with a C on it and gym Shorts I don't like, who just has a big boring t-shirt with a C on it and gym shorts. I don't like that Chuck. He's got to have the bowler hat and he's got to be a wise guy in a tuxedo. To clarify though, there are no bowler hat Chuck E. Cheese bands or are there? I think there, that I'm not sure. I'm forgetting at the moment what if you're seeing a full munches make believe band. I forget what Chuck is wearing. I saw that.

It's not so 2002 skater punk. But it's in that vein. I saw a picture. Somebody tweeted us a picture of the full band. And Chucky is not where he's wearing more of the shirt and shorts. Okay. Skateboard guy. Because he's kind of gone through a different couple different looks after the bowler hat um he has the skateboard look but then he also is like

the newer one is like the shrunken mouse rock and roller mouse i think who has like a guitar and i think is voiced by the lead singer of bowling for soup the band we all talk about at all times bowling for soup yeah they tapped into the coolest music to revamp chuck um yeah that's the strangest thing about all the chuck e cheese is that you're looking at you can have in your view five different chucks at any get like the one on the video is a puppet and then there's a walk around that looks different than the animatronic right it's it's all it's all a big mess and it's been a big mess for a long time and depending on what restaurant maybe yeah they have different chucks i'm i'm hoping somewhere there's a bowler hat chuck i think there might be somewhere does the walk around one can the

walk around one be out and about while the show is going on i feel like they don't have the discipline to factor bad show i agree with you i agree with what you're saying because my memory as a kid was that he would just be roaming around while the robot was on stage yeah and i'm a weird i was a weird enough little kid where i would have been like well this is impossible like this is cognitive dis i mean i wouldn't have been a little kid talking about cognitive dissonance but i i would have known something was up and a weird feeling yeah yeah um there i like to kind of think of it maybe as like a chuck multiverse or so chucky cheese multiverse where there's different versions earth two chucky or three chucky that i would have been that justification i would have been okay with

me as right because it's a nerdy d Comics thing Yeah Into the Chuckiverse The Chuckiverse I mean, if we're not hired to write that I don't know who should be Well, if it's anything If it's anywhere near the ilk of Chuck E. Cheese's previous film Which I believe is called Chuck E. Cheese in the Galaxy 5000 I could be getting the number wrong I think you

My deepest apologies That's where Chuck Eucky meets Power Man 5000. They hit all the biggest bands. Yeah. They all want to be part of the Chuck family. It's a weird movie where Chuck takes some real human children to space to participate in some kind of like. I mean, honestly, our recent topic, Alita Battle Angel, it really seems like a predecessor to motorball. Um,

I think they ripped it off from Chuck E. Cheese in the galaxy 5,000. I think that's right. Uh, we'll talk about the galaxy 5,000 more, but I, I, I'm not totally sure where it came out, but my thought and hope is that it was a tape.

There was a, like almost a full length film that you would, it was a prize that you got with tickets, which now is just on YouTube for free. But, uh, anyway, I, I really love it. length film that you would it was a prize that you got with tickets i think that's probably right which now is just on youtube for free but uh uh anyway i i really love it but let me just say let me let me call out the specific because we yeah we put this out there is the full munch's make-believe band there with uh mr munch pasquale p pie plateipe Plate, Helen Henney, and Jasper T. Giles. Great.

Are they still nodding and clicking around anywhere? And all of the answers were from California, but they're spread across California. Fernando Mendez wrote us that in Scripps Ranch in San Diego, there is a full band. Josh Ship or Shippy or Ship that's a person who comments on a lot of stuff and I know he's a big fan of the show I'm sorry I don't know how to say your name but thanks for listening uh but Josh told us that at least as of a year ago they were still in Pasadena um and uh Mike Olson tweeted at us that in Temecula there is not only a Full Munch's Make-Believe band but also a Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory with my beloved Truffles, the big sad teddy bear that lives at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, who people have been sending photos of, which makes me very happy, makes my wife very happy.

So I want to institute that same policy with this. If your hometown or somewhere you're visiting has a full Munch's Make Believe band, tweet at us with a photo, and I'll propose the hashtag full Munch. Hashtag full Munch. And also, especially if Chucky is in his classic outfit. That's the holy grail. I'll give my cell phone out now if you want to text that photo to me on the air because i'm so i need to see that right away so you can't have the barricade of potentially that you don't have twitter right so i'll just at the end of the episode i'll get my phone number out and only in that instance that you see chucky cheese in his

full classic red and yellow bowler hat outfit please please text me immediately. A lot of power. Don't abuse it. Call. Call, honestly. Call. If it's the middle of the night, I'll wake up and... You know what's weird?

I trust our fans. I think our fans would respect this because they seem proud of being good boys as well. I mean, who knows? My fear is that the episode falls into the clutches of a non-fan and a non-good boy who does abuse the phone number privileges. But, hey, our phones are... Are you guys just getting calls about, like, you know, discount leg braces all day like I am?

Like, I get nothing but scam calls anyway. The Subaru dealer, like, nearby has been calling me. I don't know why. I haven't looked for a car in eight years. You don't currently own a Subaru? No. Never owned a Subaru. I just get the cloned phone numbers close to my own.

And if you answer, it just says, if you'd like to be put on the do not call list. Or like Hilton Vacations would be interested in you. But as we, you know're we're westgate people okay you know that's what i tell them like i'm a westgate man all right yeah westgate for life westgate for life can't change now great timeshares good people who run so numbers similar to your own number that's interesting like what like what would your phone number but what's like a similar number to your phone number i don't i have it no that's okay that's all right i i uh you know have faith in our fans uh uh but i do not have faith of uh 2019 one of the main things people being into being restraint uh i feel like that's not uh really involved vogue there's been many good years for

restraint of course but 2019 a bad year yeah yeah 2004 is a real restraining year yeah yeah like first half of 2015 but in fact in uh preparing for this episode uh met uh one of our very nice nice listeners at tropical hideaway who immediately uh post it uh that we were doing an episode about this robert uh so jason i think the three of us doesn't like spoilers about our future episodes i look i like the element of surprise i like to have fun that that's my little fun is the surprise is seeing people surprised right because you like to wake up every Friday morning is like Christmas morning. Yeah. For the listeners.

And you like to be like a benevolent Santa Claus and look on Twitter and say, ah, yes, look what I've done. Look what gift I've given the listeners today. Yeah. I like to. It makes me feel like God, honestly. Oh, okay. More powerful than Santa. more powerful than sam more powerful

santa is kind of a deity figure yeah yeah for sure hey i know you know what i'm with you i like that and you know you you write the little teases before the uh before the episodes oh i'd like to have a little fun with those yeah yeah yeah i like when sometimes sometimes it like late like people know it right away and oh my God, it's this. And sometimes it's a real hidden clue and, and you don't know. And sometimes you say an old friend comes back and people always think it's Bugsy. Yeah.

No matter who, it's never been him. It's never been him. Will it be him someday? I would say never. It'll never, he'll never be back. Not on my watch. Yeah. That son of a bitch.

Certainly there will be no warning. Absolutely not. Yeah. He could be around. Really, though we say we're not going to have him back on any podcast, he could walk in the door at any minute. We won't know. So, listeners, beware.

Yeah. And if you're a listener and you see one of us out with an old time gangster who's a skeleton, don't tell the other listeners that he's coming back. Yeah. If you're just, yeah, if you're sampling like the food at the Be Our Guest restaurant with Bugsy. Yeah, there's a skeleton in a gangster hat with Jason. You're Jason, right? From Podcast Red?? You're Bugsy, right? The villain who haunts Podcast Arad and shoves jewels

into their mouths? Yeah. Good to meet you. In all seriousness, it was very nice to meet Robert, who started our subreddit. Meet him down there. I met a nice young couple on Main Street too. I did not catch their names. I love you shaking hands.

An older, befouled relative who had no idea who I was. But yes, nice to see you all. Fun. Hey, what a blast. Well, so yeah, because you went down there to sample the eats and treats at today's topic, the Tropical Hideaway. Yes, from one animatronic-based restaurant to another.

Mm-hmm. Another food, but there's probably some like little code word we could like, animatronics that live close to food and talk about food. Mm-hmm. Like food-centric. I think we could crack the little like, I'll have that in the back of my head for the episode, but I'd like to officially coin a term there.

And if I were quicker, I'd do it right now. But it's not coming to me. But hey, we'll get into the thing. Tropical Hideaway, if you are a person who goes to the other parks, not Disneyland, Tropical Hideaway is the restaurant that recently opened that shares walls with the Enchanted Tiki Room. It's right between the Enchanted Tiki Room and the Jungle Cruise, right along the banks of the river. And for a long time, this was a closed off dining area with even a big wall and a gate. And now it's open concept and you can look into it as you finish your Jungle Cruise ride.

And I think it's been very well regarded And enjoyed by people But we haven't really talked about it here yet So let's do it Should we start a little History of the area perhaps Like what was here before I'd love to

Do you guys Do you guys know what was there around like 2008 Did you find this I believe so because i think i saw it oh okay all right wonderful not you mike it's not coming to me oh it's really good we'll see if i was so we'll get there i wondered if this history was thin and not with what i found so anyway uh i yeah i think when the tiki room opened in the early 60s uh if not right away then fairly soon after uh they opened this facility the tahitian terrace which is like a polynesian themed restaurant where they did uh luau kind of shows i think yeah yeah they were like hula girl not that's probably a very

base description of whatever it is but like women in grass skirts shaking their hips men with fire coming and doing crazy little like fire dances and stuff presumably some kalua pork fruit juices I have a menu of the Tahitian Terrace that I found sort of smaller scale

what would become you know a lot of the dining and entertainment at the Polynesian. Right. Down the line. Of course. It's taking me a second to find the menu. Here it is.

Tahitian Terrace. They had a Polynesian combination platter, which was barbecue ribs, crisp fried shrimp, tempura, chicken almond with Polynesian vegetables, Cantonese rice, $1.85. Yeah. Everything's cheap as hell. Surf rider. The opposite of tropical hideaway. Royal choice chopped beef steak with pineapple spear, vegetable, and Cantonese rice, $1.65.

They had pineapple ribs, Monte Cristo sandwich, $1.50. I don't know. This really sounds like we're a bunch of old men now. Look, can you believe it? How cheap it was and how expensive it is now. Used to be able to get a ham sandwich fried, wrapped in flour and fried for only two bucks. They would pay you to cart it away. Here's, Jason, you're going to be interested.

The desserts. Rum and raisin ice cream wafer. Nice. 40 cents. Oh. Tahitian rainbow ice cream and a wafer 40 cents coconut pineapple ice cream covered with crushed fresh strawberries 65 cents and polynesian rum cake 40 cents can you believe it they were playing it less safe back then than i feel like tropical is playing now you mean that you mean these are uh bold choices yeah as opposed to what they have in the menu

no yeah oh that's true yeah because the desserts are pretty basic yeah they're it's not a big old variety it's kind of like soft serve at the end of the day there's variety for typical theme park cuisine i'll say that I'll give them that. Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's one really odd thing that I saw in there that I guess this wasn't even in the dessert portion. I don't know what you would call this exactly. What genre of food is this?

The Wahi Mahana Hua Salada, a bouquet of tropical fruit with lime sherbet on shredded lettuce what in the world that's a yeah i feel like that's a real throwbacky kind of like before food was good yeah i feel like i've read articles of like before the 1970s or even the 1980s food tasted uh bad for the most part that's what I meant. Whenever I see old menus, I've looked at what they would have at the contemporary, and there's a lot of gelatins that are salad, sort of. It's a very Mad Men type.

Or like ambrosia salad, canned stuff and marshmallows. People got hooked on certain foods during the wars, and it took a while for those to get out of circulation i feel like i mean walt loved canned chili and diet custards like you can see his shopping list at his pantry like recreation at the disney family museum and diet custard is the funniest thing have you jason sherdon ever had a diet custard i probably have but truthfully i don't really like any like artificial sweetener kind of like i don't think i've ever had custard i've had gotta have custard somewhere

i mean lots of things are considered or something yeah there's egg custard i guess you're right um some soft serve ice creams are yeah i know i've had custard depending on the milk fat or eggs culvers in the chicago area now that i think about it i think they call that custard yeah so i've had custard i don't know if i've had diet custard though like what is it yeah does that mean it's artificial it's like nutra sweet type ingredients i that's what i'm assuming like diet custard or light custards uh uh would would be considered and over a bed of shredded lettuce over yes, nutritious lettuce. Yeah, the combo of dessert and gelatin and savory foods in general. What were we doing?

Why did this happen? My grandmother always make a jello mold. She always be like, I'm making a jello mold. And then like once in a while I would have fruit in it and I would like wait for the pieces of fruit. And the fruit was always like not the sweet cherry, like different cherries. And I'm trying to think what the different type of cherries are. Not maraschino cherries, but like a different sweet cherry. And it would be all like, it would be like basically fruit cocktail fruit. Did you have that as a child?

It would be a fruit cocktail and it was just like coated in this like sugar syrup. So every piece, like it was probably like peaches and cherries and then a couple other fruits and but it was coated in a sugar syrup as if fruit isn't sweet enough and then you'd throw that in the jello mold and then we would eat it as as children yeah making yeah that fruit needs a lot of help yeah it was really weird uh um yeah but you gotta remember changing um uh refrigeration and stuff like it used to be a real treat to bring a bag of oranges back from florida like they would sell like citrus crates and stuff at the contemporary or like an orange in your stocking like that was a real treat because like oh citrus season is either ending soon it's going to be harder or at least expensive

yeah yeah to get this stuff and we're only like 30 years away from going back to this where uh there'll be seasons scarcity for fruits and it'll be oh what a treat i got an orange in my stocking i've had an orange in seven years yeah so that'll be good. Yeesh. Anyway, sorry to bring everyone down. No, that's all right. I, well, hey, shout out to the sponsors of the, of the Teeish and Tara's, Stouffer's and Hikamon. When you, when you think tropical food, when you think Hawaiian food, you think Stouffer's. They were the ones bringing it to you. So that, but I don't really know much about

What that entertainment was or if it was like Particularly I don't know if there was A regular there like Wally Bogue the host of Golden Horseshoe I don't know what the I don't know what Happened I believe it was like Yeah luau so like flame

Fire twirling Have you seen the video of it no there's a video if you just search tahitian terrace disneyland the first video that comes up and it's got a great line read from walt i think it's probably from a wonderful world of disney and he's signing autographs at disneyland and then all of a sudden you hear kind of like drums in the background and he goes hark the jungle drums are calling and then like they go to the Tahitian Terrace and it's like luau dancing. And what's great about this video is that there's a lot like I don't know how to put this without sounding like a pervert. There's attractive women dancing and they make sure to show pictures of or excuse me clips of the old men watching them and maybe i'm reading

into it but it's definitely to me seems like they put it in there to be like hey this guy's really enjoying the show and then there's like because they'll be like guys like they're i guess what i'm seeing is that they're like leering a little too much in the video like the andy daley like yeah yeah and like one guy's eating a rib and like they really like focus on this guy eating a real boy he's watching these like young women dance and we have their bare midriffs and i'm like why do they put that like just put the crowd shot and everyone's having fun but at least i have to look up to see the rib man i could be not interested in the beautiful women i just want to see this weird old man eating a rib real for a long time.

Can somebody just cut that down and just send that to you? I'll make you have to sit through it. Edit rib man. I mean, this all makes it the 50s, you know, 50s, 60s. You see the rise of tiki culture and like Hawaii, like, whoa, what an exotic vacation that we have to go to Hawaiiaii and hawaii becoming all these big hotels and resorts springing up and yeah obviously for whatever reason that that part of the world and samoa and hawaii and tahiti like was very in because of the

polynesian and i think my mom like that that's why we wanted to stay at the polynesian the most i think there was like that was a very interesting culture i think that's a holdover too because so many um servicemen served in the south pacific and absorbed it there and brought back stuff and you know yeah sort of new and fascinating in the 60s or much easier to get to yeah air travel becoming more affordable and we did we when i was young We did the full like Luau at the Polynesian Did you ever do that? Well, I don't think so

I think it's a pretty similar show It's just a lot of like Dancing girls and then fire And then you eat a bunch of meat Everybody gets one Rib and you Gnaw on it sensually I think you get to i think we got up and they get out there's oh it's much more like interactive like they get they get dad up to do

a little dance everything at theme parks put on a hula skirt right you look like a total fool you embarrass dad is usually the was the main thing theme park people do our thing imagineers are like all right this is a great star wars land is great but how will we embarrass dad what what thing what photo op will we have that will embarrass everyone's father they do need to figure that out for star wars land i don't know what the star wars centric way is to embarrass dad but this has got to be some way you got to have an alien yell at him right you got to have like a smuggler or um own own doc goes like what are you doing like you know which character is that what is the stand of antiquities i i oh which which one is that that's not the uh oh is that

the robot that you'll you'll haggle with yeah well now it seems like it's up in the air whether that hack yeah they've already probably cut that seems like a terrible idea for the most crowded place in the universe that you yeah you'd set your own prices yeah for sure there's no way yeah there's no maybe in 10 years they like quietly turn the haggle toggle on the robot and then somebody's like oh the heck with the robot today but yeah no it's crazy uh i have to look that name up i don't know that i don't know his name off the top of my head doc home home doc so that's what it'll be known you're acting like i'm like some sort of uh no sorry doc owneddar that's familiar okay there you go okay the only reason why i was acting like that

like these are like no no i'm just acting like we did a whole episode about this i know i can't it didn't sound familiar that's why i was skeptical that that's what it was cat sanaka ronto's roaster like all these fucking names all those names sounded familiar to me okay i well because i read all these articles and i commit once i hear a new star wars character it gets committed into my memory sure it's burned into my brain i don't remember the names of the main ones from the original movie the original trilogy and my wife like like in the last five years said what's the name of the gold one like she actually can you do you're i think you're the least big star wars fan of the three of us is that right yeah certainly can you do 20 characters off the top of your head

oh my god do i have to you don't have to but now that i've set it up the audience will be really upset if you don't let me skip a case you know i can say okay 3po and r2ds and whatever. Should I just... All right. Well, okay. So Luke and Leia and Darth Vader and Maz Kanata. Six. Finn. Seven. Rey. Eight. Darth Maul.

Nine. Oga. Ten. Of course, that counts. Doc Unk. I'll allow it. Eleven. Well, Unkar Plot. Plot. That's close enough. Yeah. Twelve, right? Unk I'll allow it Eleven Well

Unkar Plot Plot That's close enough Yeah Twelve right Jabba the Hutt Yep

Getting the irony ones Out of the way Yep There's plenty more Irony ones What's the one The one everybody made Constable Zubio

Constable Zubio Yep He's not in the movies But he is a toy Uh huh In the trailer You got six more Rex

Easy Rex that's good um five more you're missing an embarrassing one you're missing a big one skywalker yep uh i'm missing an embarrassing one pad pad may pad may you're missing like two big ones well but there's plenty of big ones yeah uh oh kylo ren kylo ren right you didn't say that before no and uh uh cool guy what's cool you know his name mr cool i can't lando calrissian i feel the ones i thought you're missing were were han solo obi-wan kenobi and yoda he said you're right i did not say any of those names. I went to Unkar Plot.

Yeah. Because that's like an almost ironic reference. But we did not get an IG-88, a Bosk. None of the Podracers, not Team Topogales, not Sebulba, not Juan Sandage. I don't even like hearing these names. Not Kira,

that very dynamic character from Solo. Oh oh yeah not any of the solo characters you for some reason it's kira we know kira just the regular name we have in our world kira but there's a q and an apostrophe in there so all right a little preview we're heading to something with a lucas character with a very normal name. Eric. Relatedly. Matt.

Well, we're here. We're one step away of history. But anyway, thanks. I think I deserve some applause for this. I gave you the applause. Yeah, I'm not naming. If you ask me to name 35, I'm in trouble. I'll do my research.

Anyway, so Tish and Terrace runs for a while seemingly well Regarded little restaurant and dinner show But around the 90s They want to bring some more current IP into the park and we end up with Aladdin's Oasis And if you go in there the main feature Is that there is a big very well done

Cave of Wonders the big Tiger head The stone tiger head uh from aladdin uh my memory was this opening me seeing that get built me loving aladdin as a kid oh aladdin's gonna have a place in the park and i never it felt like it was never open or that like as soon as it was built i felt like it was two years right and it was gone yeah like the full show was was two years and it was built i felt like it was two years right and it was gone yeah like the full show was was two years and it was gone because it was another dinner show okay um and i probably didn't want i bet i refused to go in retrospect because i didn't like like weird food like like rice i think that

is how it was as a child my mom was very like very skeptical of like oh jason and brian won't eat that like they they're not adventurous eaters and i think what she was really saying was i am not an adventurous eater and i think my children will be the same and as we got older much more adventurous you excelled past your mom yeah yeah i think i think all our parents also were raised in a very dull, more in the era of gelatin lettuce. Gelatins, yeah. Jason eats fruit cocktail and diet custard, and that's it. Well, actually, I remember that I didn't want to go anywhere with rice pilaf, and I still don't like rice pilaf. Oh, I love rice pilaf.

Really? Yeah. What is rice pilaf? I'm not even sure but let me tell you i eat a lot of things with rice big rice guy here uh something about pilaf does not appeal to me and maybe that's just my still my childhood uh it can be like bad for it can be boring like it's i think it's really cheap to make in large quantities so it's often just tossed off it's like a stuffing side or something yeah i've eaten it before i'll get a big bowl of

rice pilaf after this uh so aladdin's oasis it's some like yeah it's a dinner show that kind of tells a compacted story of aladdin um not to be confused what they did at california adventure later with the topical genie no topical genie um yeah i don't know like it was always there taking up so much real estate and that sign was there and like i felt like the vast majority of its lifespan was spent closed yeah and then in florida they have the flying carpets, which similarly just feels like dropped in Adventureland. Like it messes up the traffic flow. It's kind of like off game. Like it's not 100% right there.

I think, yeah, clearly the Disney parks thought Adventureland is our way to get Aladdin in. But the Disneyland Paris, which I've had a lot of complaints about, I think one very well done aspect is that it feels, although I guess it predates Aladdin coming out, but maybe they knew Aladdin was on the way. Aladdin feels like more nicely, organically embedded into adventure i think adventure land is very well done in uh uh in paris and a lot more like probably how galaxy's edge is going to be with little like you know corridors and this marketplace feel and this odd little tight space where somebody pops out and there's a little show um but yeah i totally agree this thing steps six out like a sort of the adventure land vibe is clearly jungle tropics it's's not. Yeah. Arabia. Yeah. Yeah. So it's never really set there perfectly.

Well, I guess because they think like the thing across like the gift shops are like bizarre, like a little bit across the way. I think you can feel it with the architecture a little like with the placemaking a little kind of merging those two things. But I think like if you go too far in in in that direction it is clumsy like aladdin's oasis was yeah and it's yeah that's fine carpets

yeah it just feels like here plop unrelated yeah um yeah i'm calling out flying carpets a bit of a mess uh a little bit so but you guys never saw any aladdin thing there did you ever go into that space we would just because because when i went in whatever the first time 2007 or whatever we would just be like what is that and it's closed and you'd like peer in and you'd be like just like tables in there and then when you go back there i feel like sometimes they would sometimes they wouldn't yes it was used as distribution for like that like pay 40 get a fast pass for paint the night paint the night or phantasmic and here's a box lunch yeah they would give you a little box that's where they would distribute or something and then you'd get a

fast pass but that's the last yeah so i we would walk in there but there was never anything interesting happening nothing was happening at all so an enclosed courtyard full of boxes of chicken yeah yeah that was the most exciting time there as far as my memory in chicken hour except Nothing was happening at all. So an enclosed courtyard full of boxes of chicken. Yeah. Yeah. That was the most exciting time there as far as my memory. In chicken hour. Except what you were going to reveal, I believe, which is. I guess in 2008, around the era of Crystal Skull, there was a event at Disneyland called the Indiana Jones Summer of Hidden Mysteries.

Oh, I don't know anything about this. I didn't either. I never experienced it. This could be a whole, I think we had talked about doing like Indiana Jones in the parks, part two or something. Oh, the other Indiana Jones stuff. The other Indiana Jones stuff, because I don't think we really touched on the Paris kind of roller coaster.

Sure. Or this. And we certainly haven't done the stunt show yet yeah yeah that's a good idea yeah but i i can't not talk about this a little bit because it's insane so they did a little show in the aladdin's oasis space uh which as i've said was dominated by the cave of wonders how do you get around that? Well, you fold it into the Indiana Jones mythology and you create a live pseudo stunt spectacular called Indiana Jones and the secret of the stone tiger. Oh my God.

Really? So he's just running around the clearly Aladdin cave of wonders, much more cartoony than anything in Indiana Jones. Yeah. Yeah. Save for those squirrels that anything in Indiana Jones. Yeah. Yeah. Save for those squirrels that watch the car go by or whatever. And not- The gophers.

Gophers. Yeah. A ton of room to do very elaborate fighting, but there was fighting. And do you have the thing that makes this show stick out as like, oh, that's weird? Yep. is like oh that's weird yep uh in this show probably the main uh thing to speak about of it is that uh indiana jones punches a woman in the face what yeah the woman's name is rachel as i said it's not some exotic she's like a british woman well she gets possessed i believe is what i remember from the story a lot of the and rachel well she gets possessed i believe is what i remember

from the story plot of the show so they were during the day i think they were they were doing not this aladdin dinner show but like more storytelling shows where kids are involved and they need they have some invented need for the kid to come up and participate and that's essentially what this was it had some mild stunts but it was more like this. The majority of the show is Rachel, the archaeologist who I didn't watch the whole thing. But, you know, she seems to have little tasks that kids come up and help with. And then Indiana Jones shows up, bursts out of the cave of wonders and side issue he's a very oc indiana jones he's a very like orange county san diego kyle mooney character indiana jones who there is a part where uh okay okay so so rachel is after uh a golden tiger a like a very As we just talked about Legends of the Hidden Temple She's gonna like put it on a staff It's this like coveted

Archaeological thing that she's chasing And So she's after that the kids are Helping but once She gets it and it puts it on the staff She goes mad with power it's too Much power and she turns evil At the drop of a hat

So there is a moment where Indiana Jones She Rachel needs to get the jump on Indy so Indy goes Indy's talking to the kids and I'll post this video somewhere But let me do an impression of his dialogue Hey, sorry about the snakes you guys had deal with snakes, huh? Who stuck their hand in the basket? Oh, is he you is you? wow you're really you're really brave yeah see i heard the tiger roar i knew you guys were solving the clues it's a little exaggerated but that's essentially this is what indiana jones sounds like in the show and then all of a sudden uh rachel smacks him with the stick and they get into a big she you know he kind of like pushes her and she falls to the side

of the stage but then they get into more hand-to-hand combat and just like pure punch in the face of this woman 2008 huh 2008 but only for like a couple weeks because one of these yet another almost identically named website to the ones we go to mouse info.com somebody complained about so this is this is where we're at we've made indiana jones into a character who shows up punches women in the face and then gets out of there and also due to the contract they had with indy at the time he couldn't do like a meet and greet so the kids didn't all get to meet him so at the end of the show he just like runs up to the top of the jungle cruise line and you don't you never see him again well see ya but he stays up there and just kind of watches you leave but you don't get to like

get a picture with him uh one thing that sticks out uh uh of this like i think i was there a couple times that summer every now and then throughout day, on one of the roof of the buildings in Adventureland, Indy would show up and some bad guys would show up and it would just beat them up. Well, that's similar. There was an event in 2014 that we went to that was the anniversary of the ride, of the Indiana Jones ride.

And they had a show. They put a little show together. So if you were by um the ride at a certain point like whatever once an hour in the tarzan tree house you would see indy fighting with some goons whoa they did a whole fun show like once an hour yeah just for like two days two nights of this celebration so there's maybe it was one night there's a binder on a shelf somewhere or like a pdf in a drop box that it's like okay here's the indie uh fighting people on top of things choreography and let's dust this off yeah like like foot charts like old ballroom dancing

yeah yeah yeah so yeah maybe five years from now there'll be yet another indie events and we'll get to see him fighting with people. In the smoking rubble. Once people have destroyed it because they can't get into Star Wars land. Of Disneyland, right? Of Disneyland, yeah. This is where the ride used to be. Real people will be punching real women in the face just to get into the, not just fake indies.

Want to buy a 200 dollar lightsaber god it'd be chaos uh so there yeah bizarre indiana jones show uh and he he ends up pushing rachel into the tiger's mouth and she dies she dies yeah yeah she eats wait a minute he doesn't even save her nope he says like rachel it doesn't have to end this way and then pushes her into it i feel like you could at least like justify well you know she was attacking him but he saves her at the end so everything's fine she just she's a good guy right who gets possessed well i think they had the working um closing mouth right because it was the cave of wonders no no it didn't okay fogs up and that's the end of it. Oh, okay.

Well, they had the fog juice, so you gotta, stuff goes bad eventually. Wow, that's, what a cold end of the show. I think it's one of those scenarios, I think, to give him a little credit, where she, if she were to like let go of the staff, she could maybe save herself, but she's determined, she's like, you know, she chooses the treasure. That's weird. like a golem sort of rules yeah I don't care for that yeah

send the folks home happy for God's sake yeah you don't need to end on a downer the kids all cheer they're glad Rachel is dead even though they were hoping Rachel like sort through fake snakes like 10 minutes prior now they're like fuck her

go to hell by the way we're doing these voices we're doing we're very solid candidates to replace bob saget as the voice of many pets on America's Funniest Home Videos. Oh yeah, I'll just jump out of this thing. I miss those voices. I think it's bullshit about the new... Who is the current host? Alfonso Rivera? Tom Bergeron? It was Alfonso Rivera.

I saw it, yeah, because it's still on Saturdays at 8 or 7 or something. It's still like a prime time. It's still like one of the top shows on television. We forget that, but the thing that it's still on like saturdays at eight or seven or something it's still like a prime time it's still like one of the top shows on television we forget that but the thing that it's missing is bob saget doing his one voice that's like classic disney synergy where he was on dancing with the stars and hosting america's funniest home videos like just as bob say it was full house and yeah yeah yeah and then kool-lee uh-huh funniest america's funniest people filmed at with uh oh what was it universal florida yeah yeah uh with tony katane of course really yeah it was cool dave coulee and tony katane wow here's a here's a little funnier die

inside story she came in they they made a sketch with her she was a person a celebrity who took a meeting and they want to and and her when they're like also any any ideas you've had and she's like well i'd love to go on between two ferns and sure the silence and the eye darting in this room as no one wanted to address the fact that tony katane would never be on poor between two friends which at that point you know because now between two ferns uh is the home to guests like barack obama and uh sean penn and like no offense to time it's just purely structurally uh they were right it's a plus list star meter has to be you have to be in the top 10 and be one of the biggest living stars right tony contains more like number 11 right well we'll have her on the show yeah talk about america's funniest people absolutely so uh that'll be your uh runner-up for consolation prize uh um anyway uh

so that takes us through the history of it mostly unused venue uh and was kind of just waiting for something cool to happen. And I think, I think they did a nice little thing with the tropical hideaway, which opened a couple of months ago. Yeah. There were a rumor. I remember, I'm sure we were texting about it,

but it's like, Oh, they're doing something with the space. Cause, cause we follow Twitter accounts that will follow different like permits filed for construction. Yeah. Speak for yourself.

Two of the three of us will follow twitter accounts that regularly will say well a permit has been filed permits or trademarks and copywriting and and it's like it's the aladdin oasis aladdin's oasis space is is gonna have some construction so a lot of people are like oh tahitian terrace coming back yeah so we were very very excited because like that that would have been cool too if it was just patents patents are a big interesting look in what theme parks uh that's how we can guess what maybe some marvel attractions or yeah marvel or mario card or that sort of thing you get patents lately it's always bad and both i haven't seen patents in a couple weeks i feel like there's been a lot of i I'm trying to think, universal things. Yeah. Or like there was a

boat that could like move, like an omnimover boat, even though they kind of have that omnimover boat. That's the wrong term. With no track, but like using water jets to move the boat to look at show seats. And I'm trying to think of how it's different than the one in Pirates in Shanghai, but I don't. So I'll get back.

We'll do an episode on the permits, the new permits. They haven't filed a permit to make the globe come to life and talk. No, not yet. Say hi to you. You will love Dark Universe. We'll get it right. You'll see. We'll get it right.

Double or nothing, we'll get it right. Give it to the Blumhouse boy. That's what's happening. On our episode, Griffin Newman threw that out and then days later it was announced boy that's what's happening on our episode Griffin Newman like threw that out and then days later it was announced that that is what's happening that Blumhouse will start getting like monster movie like make monster movies classic universal

monsters smart yeah very smart yeah so yeah so it was very exciting and then it was like I remember the art got posted on the blog a few months ago what six months ago tropical hideaway of course a reference to the song in Tiki Room. To the tropical hideaway, you lucky people. That was the saddest.

Very tentative. Dead inside. Very tentative. We like this, too. We like this attraction. I think we were all just a little shy. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

I was worried about hitting notes. We're recording this early. Not really early. My pipes don't open up till 8pm. You gotta warm up. I couldn't remember what cartoonish

accents of members of the at the time UN Security Council. The victors the victors the u.n security and i guess one uh loser of world war ii yeah because there is a german bird they said when there was a treaty signed for equal country representation yeah yeah when there is a animatronic tiki bird show um part of the world war ii agreement uh yeah so they're uh well the one thing that's weird about this i remember reading blogs that they're saying or it's the tropical highway it's kind of connected to the

tiki room new place to get the dole whips and rosita is gonna be there it's gonna be there and i read that and was like what's that i don't know what i feel like every single thing i read acted as if i was deeply familiar with rosita already i knew rosita because there's because especially because a couple years ago i real because they've already done references to rosita um in trader sam's yeah drink is that right i think that's right and there's also tons of bootleg i know where rosita um in trader sam's yeah drink is that right i think that's right and there's also tons of bootleg i know where rosita went or like where did rosita go shirts for sale online there are so you should have scott known there have to be people who was someone back me up if i mean must have not known what and i didn't

have that show memorized i guess what it what is it a really a reference to it's in the tiki room there's the the mobile of the like the chandelier with all the singing birds comes down and they're all like bathing beauties like from a 20s movie right uh and they name them all and then somebody says what happened to rosita whatever happened to rosita yeah i didn't know any of that until the month ago yeah yeah i mean obviously yeah it's a non-sense it's a throwaway line but i think that it it loomed large in the nerds at imagineering's head because it is popped up here and there and then it's yeah it's on several whatever t public shirts probably let's say yeah where did rosita go am i am i crazy to have missed this though i think

i just had so much trouble finding any an explanation i kept looking so what is rosie and nowhere explained it from scratch that's what i'm trying to do for anybody who it is not you you are a star tourist guy like that is you have combed every inch of it and every history of it i mean i'm not a big tiki room guy you're not a big tiki but there are tiki room people especially again with the crossover of like tiki bar culture and stuff there's a lot of tiki room people so i can see like i can see you know different uh elements of fandom like missing other parts of the larger sure and i think it's possible you could if you aren't super versed in haunted mansion you might have missed

hatbox ghost where which was presented in a way of like it's i feel like even that was announced to be part of a movie that hasn't happened and i wasn't totally clear on that well certainly the whole like blood story that was like oh maybe we'll do that or like all the potential backstories for haunted mansion and stuff yeah and also we asked the question we on our patreon episode about sunny eclipse i said well if you're subscribed you probably knew who he was before but somebody did a poll and it was like there was a decent amount of folks who didn't know sunny before listening to that episode so yeah even nerds even nerds have blind spots let's yeah you know uh we all we all try our best we try to be our best team topogales either it was a pod racer

so there's plenty i didn't know duke of unk i'm just gonna keep like xerox copying that name i like duke of unk that's my that's my original star wars character um that's fine so rosita this referred to but not seen character in the tiki room i i texted my mom i remember i texted my mom the art of the blog post announcing this and i think she texted back rosita three exclamation points now i'm not sure if she i think she knew right off the top of her head and she's she loves the tiki room that's like one of her favorites yeah so i think she yeah i think she got that reference gotcha okay but she probably doesn't know who sunny eclipse is he might look familiar to her. But she probably doesn't know who Sunny Eclipse is. He might look familiar to

her, but she doesn't know the space angels. So, I guess since it's come up, how do we all feel about the execution of Rosita? How it was done. They did not execute her. That is not the show. I think it's terrible and I think if you were in support of it, you're a

monster. No, I think her, that little spade, that little nook Is really nice, I think it's really nicely art directed Her little like umbrella Thing that she's on, and I think it's clever The way they keep it a little bit into the Into the Jungle Cruise River So you can't like touch it or throw food at it

Or execute it She's sitting on She's sitting on like boxes of bird seed And then she has luggage in her little hat and she's waiting for her skip she's waiting for a specific jungle cruise boat to come i believe right she's waiting for a skipper to come um because she keeps mentioning i watched a mega cut of all the pieces of dialogue she has okay somebody just stood stood there and recorded the whole thing yeah um so she's constantly like when is my skipper coming and blah blah blah well when you

okay you know what i like the art direction of it but i watched some of that video that you're talking about and i i got bored pretty fast i was not like dying to hear a bunch more of this dialogue i will admit well there's a lot sorry i was gonna say i think the like kind of uh uh borscht belt or corny jokes i think the jokes themselves are good i just think the delivery is a little modern well does that sound right this is a i've talked a little bit about this with some people uh this character and the redhead uh red the new pirate red uh enunciate a little too much for my liking there's a very like modern sort of vo style it's what you're saying where yeah very much i am going to pronounce like and make sure that everyone can understand and i feel the same way with red where it's like Hey come on boys

They want the rum Like as opposed to the old Disney where it would be just these drunken Character actors who Yeah It gives the voices and the character a little bit more Personality or character I don't think it's like

One of the greatest Performances or animatronics ever in the no part it is a little that she i have to say the way it's set up i i was sitting there and i was a little far away i was kind of in one of the tables in the center and i watched it for a few minutes and i was like you know because she's kind of just doing these jokes out into the ether it almost feels a little like she's bombing but i i guess the only other option is you either have it off to the side and people can enjoy it if they want or you have it like the tiki room pre-show where it's like stopping everyone look at this now that's a little harder when people are eating and trying to get through lines and

stuff you would have had to like put her above things and had a big sound effect so they also probably want to move people in and out of that space we're saying that about sunny clips too if it was like a more if you were more directed to that show yeah um you maybe you don't want you don't want people planting there for a super long time oh also you were right by the end of the jungle cruise so if it was like a huge booming show and stuff there would be like weird sound bleed between attractions, I guess. I think there's enough. I think there's probably some math problem.

They did some equation that there's enough spaces in between every time she talks to make most people go, well, we can't sit here and wait for her to say everything she says. So we got to get out of here because it's enough. If it was like every five seconds she talks, I think you might, there might be people that go, Oh, let's see everything she says so we got to get out of here because it's enough if it was like every five seconds she talks i think you might there might be people that go oh let's see everything she says let's let's maybe see the loop but there's a big significant space between every time she talks so it's like all right well i like this bird but we can't sit here

and watch this whole thing yeah yeah designed to bore you a little yeah because it can't yeah it can't be super engaging or else yeah the problem that's a limited seating uh situation there because this place is pretty popular right out of the gate and uh you know deservedly so i've been there twice now and uh i've got i think it's i think it's a really nice space aesthetically uh and a little like i think i think the sign's nice and a little waterfall and i like that it's this open air cascading thing instead of the uh indiana jones's famous stone tiger yeah blocking the view um so i think just like pure like placemaking i think they did a good job but um let's talk about the food oh can i actually sorry to go back real quick a couple of the rosita

things i just wanted to say oh yes yes okay so yeah as far as rosita a couple so i went through all the dialogue um first of all rosita must be a big fan of billy crystal because she says one of his big famous catchphrases you look marvelous really yep she says it uh i don't know if that's why she says it i mean that's i guess a phrase people say but i don't i don't i don't know why i only think of billy crystal what's the character's name fernando fernando uh-huh uh this character that i never cared for but i think he never got it i don't know what it was referring to what is it i think he was just that guy he's a look marvelous or whatever. And he would do it, I think, every week on Saturday Night Live for a year.

In the one season he was on, I think they'd feel like they did it in every episode. That, I feel like, is like when Looney Tunes would reference Humphrey Bogart and the Marx Brothers. It's like going a little before. I keep referencing like a lounge lizard or like a weird entertainer or something. I don't know. She didn't do Billy Crystal's other catchphrases. Jasmine? Licorice stick?

Sammy Davis Jr.'s catchphrases. Oh, he had two blackface characters. And they play, there's a thing that I remember being funny where he and Christopher Guest are like old timey baseball players. Oh yeah, that's great old 1800s but that but also blackface wow oh yeah yeah no not go sorry i led you right in the pool there but i mean well no but i said i think i've seen that i remember the sketch being funny but uh probably not okay uh all right well we'll

revisit that um she uh rosita makes a reference that she looks like a pineapple princess also, which I like because that's an old song, a Sherman Brothers song. That's cute. What is it? It's from an Annette thing. Yeah, got me. Is it a movie, though? I can play Pineapple Princess on ukulele.

I won't do it right now, though. Yeah. You know how to play the song I don't know on the ukulele? Yeah, you've never heard Pineapple Princess No All these missing areas Is it better than Monkeys Uncle Uh

Hell no the Beach Boys are on that one Well it sure as shit ain't That song slaps I'm a big Pineapple Princess fan There's also a remix of Pineapple Princess On that album Deconstructed what an electronic version skrillex remix of uh is this the remix no this is original

uh that's a little bit of it before we get sued. Flat Annette singing by Apple Princess. I am a big fan of Annette's output as far as a recording artist. And there's like, she has an album called Italianette. And they're all Italian songs. And then there's a Hawaiianette, which is what this is from. And they're all Hawaiian songs And then there's a Hawaiianette Which is what this is from And they're all Hawaiian songs I like that naming structure

And there's some really great Annette's You know what Patreon episode about Annette's singing career Is for sure coming I'm way into that As long as we hit Monkey's Uncle Now this is the remix Of Pineapple Princess By what artist

It's on Deconstructed Now this is the remix of Pineapple Princess By what artist? It's on Deconstructed I think Pineapple Princess If you're the DJ who did this let us know Kinsey Kinsey Moore Remix Disney needs to learn Not to mash up old timey and electro this isn't suitcase in a dream territory i say no it's not it's not great i mean that's now play

the uh lulz and uh feed the birds be the burst up as a bag uh but now uh subscribe to the patreon for a future in that episode um so yeah pineapple prince she makes a reference to that and then she also makes a reference to tahitian terror's analadans oasis really yeah she says like this place used to be a real dump people are here for the first time in 20 years uh yeah so uh i like that that's all i wanted to say they're always giving me grief in the tiki room i'm taking a bigger beating than rachel i mean if she made a rachel reference that would be pretty insane. Rachel and her staff. Well, so from Rosita to the real reason that you're there, the food.

What do we think? What have you guys had there? And Jason, I feel like you've got some takes hotter than the food coming. I had a bit of a journey getting down there. Okay, so i was the last one to go to this place and i went a couple days ago uh uh i just hadn't gotten around to going down and trying it so uh i had something to come back for in the afternoon on a friday uh so i was dinner at 7-eleven yeah i thought you said potluck dinner at 7-Eleven. You reserved the corner of the store.

So I was like, I'm going to be down there for three hours. And I was like, to preface, I was like, you know what? I haven't been to in a while is downtown Disney, you know, for an extensive visit. I wonder what the parking situation currently is here's the current parking situation at downtown disney uh no free time you used to get free time this ain't news to me i know i know all about it so here's the deal uh if you spend twenty dollars in downtown disney you get do you get three hours validation if you spend i guess the same amount at any table service restaurant you get five hours so uh my debate was do i spend twenty dollars for

mickey and friends like a schmuck or do i buy twenty dollars of pizza and that's what i did for three hours of parking um twenty dollars of pizza twenty dollars of pizza saving you the five extra dollars to park in the mickey and friends parking no but mickey and friends up to twenty dollars twenty five or it's up to twenty five yes so you spent twenty dollars in food oh yes so saving me yep uh uh yeah five dollars and it also gave me a chance i had not been down to see uh napolini the quick service uh pizza had been reconfigured from slices to personal pan pizzas so i bought two 10-inch pizzas uh this is after why would you you're gonna eat huh you went you were going for a food place and you still

bought two pizzas yeah i don't see the issue because then i got a couple meals out of this uh trip too you took the pizzas home i took i had a like a slice of each pizza to try uh after tropical hideaway and then i ate the rest for dinner so you brought two personal pizzas into disneyland with you no no i did it the last thing okay so i So I went in and I tried Tropical Hideaway. I got there at about 1130-ish. So shortly after it opened and it was already packed, like all the tables were full. There was a line. I got to say the crowd flow could be better going to, like I was confused if I ordered at the one station, if I ordered at boat and they sort of like i was just following there was

people like a line of people and strollers going into it so i just followed them and immediately they went the wrong way because you can kind of go around the coolers they have set up and they they need more signage to say like order cold stuff here order hot stuff here because other people made the same mistake so right we i was confused too i agree yeah that's a good point so i i got i knew what you had you had gotten the big like kind of sunday thing so i tried the other so i tried the pineapple raspberry squirrel and then i got an order of the pineapple lupia limpia i forget how it's because an m in there yeah uh yeah lumpia uh which is basically like a it's kind of like the del taco cream cheese caramel egg roll things but it's pineapple and cream cheese and then it's covered in cinnamon sugar

and then served with a side of what is essentially sweet and sour sauce uh could have done without the sweet and sour sauce the limpio was pretty tasty uh a little small the portion size uh and then i had the the pineapple raspberry swirl dole whip pretty good my thing with Dole Whip, I get sick of it. I get a little tired of it about halfway through. I hear what you're saying, yeah. I don't really finish. Yeah, it's an overwhelming...

I think all three of those flavors, you get a little tired of it. It's overwhelming and like it's a lot of citrus too. It'll be a little irritating. I think you get tired of that, or I get tired of that faster than a chocolate dessert, which you can go and go forever. That is one of my big complaints. I was like, you know what would make this all perfect is chocolate shell. I wish I could get chocolate shell topping on this, the hardened chocolate shell.

Because I love citrus and chocolate as a combination. And I think having the dip would be great. That would sell it for me. The whip, I will say, they call it a loaded whip. That's what we have. I split it with Lindsey, which also maybe that's, since we split it, I wasn't having too much of it. They have exotic fruit in it, which also means just like oranges. Oranges, pineapple, and coconut.

Right. Very exotic. Fuck you, exotic fruit. I'm no fool uh and crystallized hibiscus hibiscus which is like little sticks and so like yeah you get a little like uh this you know sweet but then there's a little savory in there so you can like kind of cleanse the palate a bit so i did feel like it was a nice mix of things um and i could have eaten one alone i did i didn't need to split it texture to me with ice like i like something else in there like even as simple as sprinkles or like cookies and cream like something else

besides the creaminess i like the texture i'm sure we've talked about it on the show what is your normal ice cream purchase oh gosh well i don't know i mean at disney or anywhere i just like what all of it at home i switch it up i'm all i like to surprise myself i really like a cherry a cherry chocolate chip i like just regular chocolate chip ice cream because you get a creaminess and then you get a lot of like chocolate chocolate right but but usually you're it'll have something in it something in it yeah chunks chunks uh chunks or like a like a caramel ribbon or a marshmallow ribbon or something so you're not you're not doing just a straight up chocolate ice cream you want some some texture

beyond the cream i want some yeah i agree with that i like if i like a strawberry ice cream i like chunks of strawberry in there absolutely yeah yeah i guess i like i guess i agree with that i like if i like a strawberry ice cream i like chunks of strawberry in there absolutely yeah yeah i guess i like i guess i agree with that i like a cookie dough i like um i like the ben and jerry that's cookie dough and um chocolate chip or no what's there's there's a half baked what's that one that's um like chocolate chip cookies isn't it no it's got two things it's got cookie dough in it and oh it's got brownie brownie yeah that's what it is that's like extra yeah so uh fish food i think is one of the tops because you get everything at that you get little chocolate fish you get caramel you get marshmallows and chocolate ice cream yeah so i feel like the loaded whip honestly like for for maybe those

you and i don't actually have the problem that you have i don't always get dole whip it's not my number one it may not even be top three snack at disney for me but i don actually have the problem that you have I don't always get Dole Whip It's not my number one It may not even be top three snack at Disney for me But I don't have the problem where I get tired of it I do like it What are the sticks sticking out of it? Is that the hibiscus? The crystallized hibiscus? Oh wait, no, you're right

That's like Pocky, isn't it? Yeah, you're right Isn't it sticks of It's 10 cents worth of chocolate covered Pocky Hibiscus is that little The drizzle of little like crystals Yes But I'm, yeah, you're right What is that called? Yeah, I think you're right That it's It's 10 cents worth of chocolate covered Pocky. Hibiscus is that little, the drizzle of little like crystals. Yes. But I'm, yeah, you're right.

What is that called? Yeah, I think you're right. It's Pocky. I was getting confused that that was the hibiscus. But yeah, Pocky is the thing. There's like four little posts of like a salty, like kind of pretzel-y kind of a thing. And that's what you can really cleanse the palate with for the loaded whip. It does look good.

And I thought it would be a little overwhelming to eat with one person because i wanted to try the limpia and i also wanted to get twenty dollars worth of pizza so i i i knew you would have that um i also like i'm like i mean that does look good but like you're not fool me. I know wholesale like that's cheap fruit to buy. That's cheap. That's five cents worth of five. You're doing the profit esque math in your brain, outsmarting this dessert place. OK, but here's you're not at the point yet, though, like like some old men where you like kind of tell all the employees that, you know, no, no, she's crap.

And we're like you're a grocery store and they're like, you know, you can get this for cheaper at this other like, uh-huh. Okay, here. Twenty twenty five dollars your total. That's a few years away. I think from you explaining to the to Rosita, you know, this is all whole set Pocky or ten cents a pop. So well, just thinking about that. I mean, the Dole Whip, the Dole Whip swirl was five sixty nine.

The Lumpia was $6.99 this is a live profit episode I'm picturing little infographics while you talk so and then it's also so no annual pass discount yeah right Bengal BBQ which is a similar stand with seats does

give an annual pass discount so kind of confusing in that sense sure now side note if you're comparing those two things uh my wife a vegetarian didn't really like veggie bao uh and has become a big fan of veggie uh like shish kebab or the skewers uh so better veggie option cheaper with an annual pass so uh bengal barbecue is winning points right now. What did you guys have when you went besides the veggie bow? I had done the chicken bow.

And I'm actually like I really want to do the beef one because that one almost looks the best. It looks like it fits with the sauce the best. I need to. But I like the chicken well enough. And I went on a very rainy, cold day. So the steam coming out of that thing was great. It's just what I needed. I like the chicken well enough. And I went on a very rainy, cold day. So the steam coming out of that thing was great. It's just what I needed.

If I had it on a regular day, what I like as much, I don't know. We just had regular sort of soft serve swirls, not really like loaded or whipified. Erin had one with raspberry and she found that to be kind of like medicine. She thought that was like a taste of like NyQuil or something. I liked mine more, which was orange pineapple swirl. I thought in a good way, it reminded me of a Flintstones push pop. Oh, wow. That's a great.

Yeah. That orange flavor. That kind of fakey orange flavor, but I like it. So I was happier, all told, than my wife. So I veer more positive um so far but i i hear all the i hear the negative uh points i think my i think i was okay with it because i got the same swirl i think the sweetness of the raspberry balanced out that like you know more tartness of the pineapple but raspberry it it can be it's a hard flavor sometimes. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. I think she felt the artificiality of it. Yeah. I would like to try that raspberry. And she tried my orange pineapple and found it superior. Yeah. The loaded whip has the pineapple and orange swirl together. Okay. I wasn't putting it together that it tastes like Flintstones, but I think that makes sense to me now.

Yeah. A nice little flavor flashback. Well, you had a fruit cocktail dumped on top. Coated in sugar, yeah. We had the bao, we had the vegetable bao and the beef bao. Both good. I liked both of them. I wasn't blown away.

I think we're getting to the point where if it was $3 and not six dollars yeah perhaps that would be a different thing because once we paid for everything i was like holy crap holy crap so you get one bow for six dollars right yes that's one bow for six dollars yes small and we i'm sure if you look at bow prices i mean on the streets where the real bao it's probably uh the cheapest thing possible in glendale like din tai fung uh which is like a real bao but like bao and bun and soup dumplings and uh uh from asia there's a location in glendale california it's amazing it's great and but nothing is like super expensive and like for like one, you get at least six of each item. But how is anybody surprised that Disney pricing sucks?

I'm just surprised that it's like $6 for one. I thought it would at least be like two in a pairing or stuff. When the Bengal prices are great the bengal prices are good i guess that's sort of what i was comparing it to where i was like oh yeah i don't ever feel like so ripped off at bengal barbecue obviously there's plenty of place overpriced things at disney but it did feel it's so funny because it's such a uh small difference it does feel like it's a dollar more than it should be yeah there's five dollars i probably wouldn't be as like yeah you're like disney like overcharged radar it like goes up a little bit

here where it's like it's just because you're used to a certain amount of being overcharged and then this one feels like it's a dollar more than that and that's why we're like hey they're taking advantage of us well and the lack of annual pass discount in like an identical survey yeah i get that because like but the but you don't get an annual pass discount on ice cream and you don't get it on dole whip so i get that there's some thing there and then like certain carts and food carts you don't get an annual pass discount as well so you know they could do it that'd be nice but there is some precedent for it at least yeah um i just yeah i was like comparing the two receipts of like i don't know two pizzas

i don't know but see that's outside the gate it is outside the gate but i had the opposite reaction of like i was surprised that the prices were still low at this pizza uh takeaway thing now i think that's also a trick because napolini that you used to get like a four dollar pizza slice now you're getting a 7.95 whole pizza so they're getting you to buy more but i was surprised that it's still only 7.95 and the annual pass works there they may also just be trying to uh siphon off people who might just walk to the other side of the esplanade because there's a pizza press at that first hotel across the street so it is comparable to walk though it's a long walk but it is the prices are comparable to blaze pizza rev pizza

these fast fire pizza places and the crust was better like i did i like napolini a lot i think it is a great food option and easily the best pizza on disney property um yeah and cheaper than the sit down restaurant pizza port i know can you believe that we're talking about values like a single slice it's like a slice of sub chuck e cheese pizza at pizza port is like is up to like six bucks like is it that much horrible so go to downtown disney and go to napoliti yeah yeah there's your tip do you feel good do you feel like like you ended the day achieving value or not? I got out of there with like 10 minutes left. And then I think there is a 15 minute grace period.

So I think I could have stuck around for 25 more minutes in the park. But man, noon on a Friday, it was already getting crowded. I had time for one ride. What did you guys think I rode? Casey Jr. No. The boat?r no the boat yeah the boat i rode the mark twain around because the train like i i was like oh maybe i'll just take the train back to main street two trains filled up and i was still like in line like it was that crowded um how long did the pizzas last you went down Friday. How long did you stretch out?

I had them for dinner Saturday night. You had both pizzas? No, I had like two slices at Downtown Disney, two slices Friday night, and then the rest Saturday night. Yeah. I was just wondering if you were rationing it out still to like right now. Oh, no.

Homer with the sandwich. You made a pizza broth. Yeah, yeah. Some cups of pizza soup it's better aged um all right so yeah uh let's talk a little put all those numbers we'll do the diagram we'll animate diagrams of all of the pricing right sure post that our graphics team will work i mean so that's my main thing i like the the of course we haven't talked about the oars Well yeah we're going to talk about a little bit of the scenery

I was going to say as far as food I was looking around for this Because this does feel like Once alcohol comes into the park In Star Wars land This feels like one of the prime spots For a tiki drink So I was looking around like do they have anything

That would like a hint of like a hookup for a bar of any kind i didn't see anything but this is pert like nothing would be better than sitting here at eight or nine o'clock at night with a tiki drink and watching the jungle cruise boats go by one in the afternoon my man don't worry waiting that long how about nine in the morning yeah but, they only have pineapple juice. Like they need, there's not even like passion fruit or guava or something. Well,

I would assume they would expand it at a certain point. But I wonder if there is like a, in like a secret case somewhere with a lock. And it's like, as soon as we are like, we're going liquor at Disneyland, they open it up and like a couple different places you can do it. And this has to be one of them.

I don't know. It just seems like it's the perfect place. That's already. What does anyone think is going to happen? If we put one ounce of alcohol into our tiki desserts, that like shit is going to hit the fan. People are going to be barfing into the jungle cruise river. Like I don't know.

People are going to be knocking Rosita off her perch into the, like into the, into the deep. Have you spent time in Orange County, Scott? But you can drink everywhere else on that property. And do you like, where is it chaos anywhere?

Right. This argument that like Walt would be, I mean, we've said it a number of times, but Madden, what are we? I can't believe that Disney has stuck with it. That for somewhere trying to soak you for as much money as possible.

How, isn't it crazy that in 2019 Disney is still like has a morality claw. Like there's a fake morality claw. You walk a hundred feet and get as hammered as you want in so many places sure also my favorite one of my favorite things probably bob eiger has ever done is that crack about walt taking slugs or having a drink in his office and stuff and then he had to apologize because the ceo was not supposed to say facts about the founder of the company about and also hey as

i'm advocating for on this show all the time the idea of a somebody who likes to have a drink this being like a dirty the sin what are we talking about the walt disney in the 50s likes to have a drink in his office oh what a pervert like what are we mad about that did that i got to apologize for that are like and on the spectrum of 50s businessmen he was like probably one of the most sparkling clean functioning alcohol yeah there's so many other things i should apologize for number one solo folks as i've said on recent episodes I had only just seen Solo and I am still upset. Oh, you really very recently did. Yeah.

Yeah. Gotcha. Had not seen it. An unpleasant. Name your least favorite character. Oh, least. Well, it would. Your 20 least favorite character.

I mean, I think least favorite moment is having to watch Lando mourn. Like boy, having to watch Lando mourn. Like having to watch Lando process death. I'll say this. That's a weird moment in the movie, but one of the better moments in my mind. Spoiler alert. Lando has like a female robot. That he fucks, right? Well, they imply that they've had sex but

they don't do it or they don't show it like we make it work like yeah there's an implication that the the robot and lando are romantic um but then the robot has a brutal death brutal death and then lando is like very sad and it goes through multiple stages of grief yeah um and i will say one of the better parts of the movie in my mind. I guess. Yikes. What a blast. That certainly seems like more fun than hundreds of Lord Miller jokes.

Why would we want that in our movie? Not in the part of people I would have thought should have been fired because of that movie. I mean, recent Academy Award winners. Yes. Recent when the movies were, when the nominations were said the applause for spider-man was deafening yeah in the theater like incredibles 2 yay we have to keep the us the usc professor and his little boy on we have to keep them my god that was a super villain delivery I would like to flash out and show,

to paint a picture of how Jason delivered that. He had his arms crossed. And then as he said that, his right arm kind of like fluttered it away, like flicked it away. Like this very dismissive. And it was, yeah, as you said, it was a very super villain. The 20th most successful Kennedy.

It's an evil gesture you could have done while holding a cat. Right. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. Still more clear evil motivation than any villain in solo what's woody harrelson's character's name god i was just brian i was honestly that's i was trying to make a joke about it producer uh brad i was trying to make a joke about it and i could not for the life of me

remember witty harrelson's character in solo has the most screen time maybe the most dialogue of all the characters for some weird reason uh and i cannot remember his name hmm um well look there's more important names that we have to get to and that's the names on the oars yeah members of c member of members of c to read now just briefly you explained c from the ground up again okay c stands for society of explorers and adventurers and it is a fictional group uh made up by we don't know if it's like joe rody but it seems to come about in pleasure island uh time which is what 25 ish more than that years ago these things factor into his ride seemingly the most yes and other stuff has been grandfathered in sort of the

the big thunder mountain lineage uh jason chandler and barnabas t bullion it ties basically it ties multiple rides and multiple disney parks across the world together by saying all of the people that maybe own the ride or were in charge of the ride or had something to do with the ride all belong to the secret society of like rich maniacs. So, yeah, as you were saying, Barnabas T. Bullion owns Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Harrison Hightower at the Tower of Terror in Tokyo, he owns that hotel. So all these characters are in one little special club. And they're not all from the same era necessarily, but they've all belonged to this club

at various points in time. Yeah. Correct. Like some would be from, like, isn't Schweitzer of Schweitzer Falls one of the oars? Yeah. He's a character from the Jungle Cruise mythology. Dr. Albert Falls. Dr. Al, oh. Schweitzer, I think, is the real man. falls one of the oars yeah he's a character from the jungle cruise mythology dr albert falls dr al oh oh right that's the joke he's the real man schweitzer's a real person okay yeah um uh

carmelia i i where's my carmelia falco uh one of the the worst pot the earliest member of this of sea and recently announced as the the character in uh soren fantastic flight which is coming to tokyo disney sea but this was her first mention was in this and then they announced her for that was as an oh well so all right so the thing if you haven't been the thing is that all of these characters are tributed with oars hanging right next to where you pay for your bow not a convenient place to dilly dally no like where Rosita is not a good place to hang out and take pictures

of dorky shit and yet that's where they put them but I but I think this is a fun you know that's it's a fun little Easter egg and if they're starting to tie all of this mythology together that they can do something like this it makes it i think it elevates the what could just be kind of a really just a quick service restaurant into oh it's like

it's place making and it ties together something from tokyo or hong kong yeah i mean it's i think that's what was kind of exciting about seeing rosita there, like in the art, was it was like, oh, this is not just going to be, this is obviously going to be touched by some nerdy imagineering people. Obviously, we didn't know that there would be like sea paddles, but just Rosita itself is such an inside reference. You knew that there's going to be some aspect of that and there's going to be some history there's already history happening here and then the sea paddles were just an extra little cherry on the top of like oh yeah okay this isn't just some like the corporate people didn't just go ahead and serve them some different colored dole whips or whatever that they were like got their they got approved little references and then a tease to the character that would be coming to tokyo disney sea but then there there were three like i looked at the full list again on on the disney wiki um and all of the characters had their own

pages except three s shio dr jl batterista and chef tanja tan daji uh those did not have any interest so those might be teases to right upcoming attractions and imagine you're was quoted as saying like there's hints of upcoming attractions in tropical hideaway i mean that's fantastic that's interesting yeah uh i don't know what's coming that involves like adventurers yeah that's the problem because everything is coming is ip so it is like where yeah where are you going to put stuff like that i've i'm trying to think like yeah soren in japan is is like an original disney ride the chef makes me think a restaurant yeah yeah be coming i mean there's

lots of hotel work being done in florida well they just did the uh what mary what's her name uh they just did some stuff with her and um she's on the cruise ship and on pleasure island yeah so i feel like maybe now for a little while the society of explorers and adventurers are going to be like uh regulate re relegated to uh non-rides oh yeah well and i mean i have to i would bet money on it like something in the Jungle Cruise movie. I mean, it's been pushed for a while. Oh, well, also, there's clues in the places because Chef Tandaji works on the Irrawaddy River, Real River in Myanmar. uh real river in mayanmar um so okay well that's not so that's burma right um is like is that possible i don't know where the jungle cruise takes place is that india um i don't know we have to look it up i'm glad you said i only know fake geography and not real ones so we're not

taking sides in the there's a conflict never-ending conflicts in mayanmar slash burma well this the only side i take is the side of trevor noah being our greatest oh it's a great time to be in the early march he heals us with laughter um anyway uh uh hey you know what else i think the auras themselves are neat they didn't just like stack up 10 or is this cool's cool textures on these things. There are various levels of aging. One has an arrow in the side. One had some bites taken out of it. One has a crocodile skull attached to it.

Is that Merriweather Pleasures? I think so. Yeah. From, yes, he, I guess, being the founder of Pleasure Island. Right. Which is crazy that like this whole, this defunct attraction that was essentially like a nightclub place where you went to see some disco is attached now to this same mythology that links up the Tower of Terror in Japan. discovery bay and then they he was a young inventor and so then they kind of factored him in into the big thunder mythos that he made the drilling machine that barnabas t bullion bought to drill into the mountain and then he was like barnabas i don't know if you want to there's a

lot of spooky stuff happening maybe you should dial back but he's barnabas's thirst for gold drove him further Oh wow The thing I missed which is embarrassing To say is that we didn't go in Tokyo And you're going to go to Tokyo soon There's a restaurant in Disney Sea called Magellan's And just like you know you can't hit everything So I was just like oh yeah we didn't get to Magellan's

I think it's a little more expensive but whatever Magellan's is the headquarters of Sea Oh So you have to go to magellan i'll go to magellan's for the report yes and anything i find i'll take pictures of anything on the wall even if i don't understand it yeah i will uh copiously uh yeah get ready for magellan's yeah that's where they all hang out cool okay neat neat so they all got to fly to japan and they're like balloons and dirigible's and well but it's not technically japan oh you know what i mean it's

like what part of disney city is it in what's the air the theme it's by the volcano and stuff so what part is that around the mysterious island yeah yeah so it's not really japan in the fiction i see vernie good point uh i gotta i gotta get my head i didn't think i realized one of the things that like kind of tanked uh discovery bay was the the sort of lackluster results of island at the top of the world the movie uh-huh um gotcha yeah i had never known that um do you think somebody on one of these oars is a character from the dwayne Johnson jungle cruise movie. Yes. Oh, yeah.

That could be it. That seems right. Yeah. I, I would assume cause there's a lot of been a lot of talk for years now cause they've been this, they just push this movie back another year for some weird reason from scheduling,

but they've been talking about this, right. That's this movie for so long. They've been talking about ride upgrades for so long as well. So it would seem like this is something they're expecting to be a giant hit and expecting that they'll get money now to redo jungle cruises across the world so it wouldn't surprise me if they this was a real like synergy relationship from the start but potentially i mean i was just listening to an older disney dish on the drive

over about how like imaginary has been told to pump the brakes on the the Mary Poppins. Yes. Well, sure. That's true. Turns sort of attractions for the UK Pavilion and Epcot. That's Jim Hill, right? Yeah. Cite your sources. I said Disney dish. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Yeah. You're right. I missed it.

Now I feel like this happens a lot because that happened with Gigantic for the hypothetical Brazil. Yeah, they have a lot of grand plans and then the movie doesn't. But like, when does a movie go according to, like, when has a movie besides like Infinity War and Force Awakens been like the openings they expect? Only Marvel movies can you at this moment in time count on, I think. Because, yeah, I think Mary Poppins just, according to Jim, just broke even across the world and now is making money. So it was not a runaway success.

And they were talking sequel, but who knows? Yeah. So what you're saying is we will see a Captain Marvel Air Force recruiting center. Well, it's like just one of those guys with an angry person uh going like you you got what it takes kid and then you sign up and then yeah you're in the military or in the air force i've been over here fantasizing about if if in fact this is a reference to the jungle cruise movie i would like to see a new mythology society set up which is i'm calling sore s-o-r society of rocks and this is the mythology that ties together all of the identical jungle running around rocks of which there are now three i believe uh i have the imdb up uh in jungle cruise his name is Frank in a rampage his name is Davis Okoye and in Jumanji he's Spencer

so let's start tying to get they all wear sort of like similar like just like explorer hats or like open shirts mainly open shirts so if they like had if they like took all of those busted open broad chest shirts and hung them up on a wall somewhere yeah that's great yeah that'll and then so they have sore we have sore sea and space which is the one we're inventing right but a lot of people have the cosmic ones people had some great acronyms but we're not for that those are great but we're still working on the yeah and it says and maybe i could also propose a society of uh food centric animatronics oh yeah that's good too that's good of uh of food animatronics digest animatronics

what about animatronics oh i like that that's clean all right so sod the society for animatronics are there a lot of sound oh you know what problem though it sounds a little like dinosaur confusing potentially if you were a dino matronic interesting you just gotta put that e in there are there enough characters in the park that drink like i can think of a pirate or two with a bottle of wine to make a club for like winos the society the the sfa the society of functioning uhing Wait I guess well it's AA is Alcoholics yeah audio animatronic

Alcoholics Anonymous Oh that's good Wow Yeah who else drinks I mean the pirates Mainly pirates Right but there's got to be at the table In the Haunted Mansion someone's drinking

Because you see it go into them The old Humphrey Bogart watches The old Ingrid Bergman animatronic Get on that plane And he takes a swig from a flask in his coat That whole sequence He's in awe The most advanced audio animatronic sequence

Ever made That they demolished Yeah, he's in awe And Ugo's canteen okay yeah oh i i have to sing it in the rain uh gene kelly animatronic is a little tipsy in that scene right i have to find he's in yeah all right uh mary poppins is all that she's drinking all that medicine there's got to be some alcohol in there right yeah yeah yeah yeah so she may have mary poppins she's in awe she's in awe like we're forgetting a big one who's gotta be who else

drink but are they secret alcoholics which they very well might be right um rocket raccoon drinks oh yeah yeah for sure he drinks in the first guardians he gets real hammered oh that's right so he's in a... This is my kind of crew. I like all these. These are a lot of my favorite characters. You and Poppins and Rocket. Hell, yeah.

Oh, and you know Rex gets down, too. He's at that bar every day. He's getting free drinks. That's probably how they pay him is in drinks. He is... Yeah, he definitely gets some drink tickets. But I feel like he is constantly pouring liquid into his what would be his mouth and it's sparking and he goes, oh, no, I forgot.

That's right. Wait, I can't drink. Oh, no. I'm still getting used to my digestive programming. And you know what? To tie it back together. Chuckie Cheese gets down too yeah oh yeah he's got a bowler hat chucky yeah yeah i think that's why i like that guy he's i'm

imagining like a uh who's that who's the drummer uh uh buddy rich like a buddy rich tape of uh chuck scolding the munch's make-believe band right i'm just like you gotta stay on rhythm munch you're you're fucking flat every time i mean are you gonna make that video now aren't you i guess yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah uh uh like yeah yeah like like pasquale i took a risk on you Taking you out of the kitchen Maybe I should put you back in there Maybe I put you on toilet duty Because your drumming is shit

Hey Can security come over here There's a guy who's been sitting right by the stage For an hour Just videotaping He's not bothering anyone But I feel bothered and murmuring lines to himself in a quiet he keeps talking about alts he keeps he keeps writing down like notes on one

pad and then like all something called alts on index cards and he's and he's up to his third glass of white wine which is served served to Chuck E. Cheese. I'll head there after this. We should walk over there after this. Do we not do the... I can go either way. How long are we doing? What did I say first time? 55.

No, this is 42 minutes. So we're almost at 40, an hour 40. That's plenty. I was saying I wanted to do it but yeah I would like to do it but for the sake of time yeah

yeah that's what we can call it for another yeah then we could we did it before mine also I would like to have more time

to research it because I just went on a real I found something new this morning oh really okay that ties into like KTLA TV history

oh my god And I'm fascinated with why it is associated, why this character is associated with Disneyland. Oh, wow. I have an episode that could, I had an idea I was going to pitch you guys that it could tie into. So that's like another thing. We'll talk about it. Okay. So

how else do we get out of there? Wrap up last thoughts. Yeah. I have one other little stupid thing i want to bring up okay uh uh okay um anyway yeah yeah straight straight to jackie cheese straight to the uh sure uh yeah straight to the wine uh uh the wine aisle i'll bring mobile order wine is good uh i'll bring up one thing i like which is just a nerdy thing is that the original tahitian Terrace had a sign that said, Sun-kissed, I presume, which is like a reference to Dr. Livingston, I presume.

Yeah. And now the new Tropical Hideaway has something that says Dole Whip, I presume. Oh. So another nerdy reference to a classic thing which again you feel it nerds like us feel the detail which is why you want to go back to a place like this doing it i discovered uh not not everything from aladdin's oasis uh terrible they preserved a lot of the beautiful metallic and glass lamps and stuff and they're off in the corner and it says like lamps for sale that looks very uh pretty and a nice nod to the history of the area i like that too

yeah i like all i like all the little like uh scenic things and rugs and you know all that stuff's fun good lamps good oars great lamps font okay food mixed food but i have a nice feeling about it anyway mixed food i'll say this like yeah like mike said it might just be like a dollar too much so i'd say put that annual pass discount in there but you know they may not want people they they want people to come and they want people spend but when i was there i was like eating on a trash can for a while until a table opened up. And even then I'm like looking around and it's like, oh, people have posted up. And then I was looking around and like, oh, families with kids are looking for a table.

So then I'm like woofing it down because I feel very guilty just being a single person taking up a table for four. Yeah, yeah. guilty just being a single person taking up a table for four yeah yeah um and you're just in your cursing that without that annual pass discount you you blew 60 cents cursing up a storm yelling you're lucky i'm gonna get 20 worth of personal pizzas after this which i have to say one of the uh the pizzas again i recommend except one said it came with pancetta on it like pancetta onions and cherry peppers i thought that was going to be like the little crispy kind of fatty chunks of bacon

and it was like shaved pork it was more like like italian pork kind of so which was okay but not what i was expecting anyway definitely check out tropical hideaway and check out napolini too if you need a quick bite in downtown disney where to get your party validated what an ad something tells me we're even though we talked about it here we're not done talking about it in general i think napolini is uh maybe there's a napolini month maybe four episodes about napolini oh boy uh all right yeah that's i like it uh all that would make it better is plus it up is let's get just a couple tiki drinks in there it doesn't have to be a full bar there's not a ton of room make them pre-made i don't care put a jug under

the whatever counter just pineapple juice and put some rum in there. Who gives a shit? Let us have it. Let us have our medicine. We just want to sit and watch boats go by. Of course, I understand, you know, capacity wise, but whatever. Let us put those spots all over the park so we can, you know, we don't have to all be in one centralized location.

Oh, cast members were also all great there. the park so it we can you know we don't have to all be in one centralized location oh uh cast members were also all great there lots of people walking around taking trays uh all the people behind the counter very quick very helpful uh i know it probably sucks working at a new restaurant the first six months are figuring stuff out everyone was really good that's great um well i say uh yeah give us our medicine. Make this the first place you turn on when liquor goes park wide, which will happen as soon as Star Wars is a hit. I would think.

Yeah, it's got to. And I say retroactively make things right. Every once in a while, do a show where you let a woman punch Indiana Jones in the face over and over again. Great. Yeah. I think that's easy now because this is still pretty general. So yeah, you can run shows in there once in a while. Yeah, it's crowded. Crowded, but I mean, I'm saying it's not tied

to another IP, so you know. Let Rosita attack him. Yeah, great. Peck his face. Yeah, this is for Crystal Skull. A fridge? Are you kidding me bring back mutt williams justice for mutt justice for mike mike by the way gave me for my birthday one year a mutt williams action that's true yeah i did i also maintain mud is a fine character i down the on the number 20 on the list of
