Starting point is 00:00:04 Well, hey, Travelers, it's Josh with a little note on this week's episode before we get started. This was something I recorded at the beginning of summer back in June, and because of how much I recorded, this is actually part two of a two-part episode. So if you didn't catch the first part, check that out too. I know some of you listeners may have never been to the other Orlando themed parks, or maybe you have, but I hope these episodes feel fresh and exciting to you, even if you are familiar with the parks. I hope you enjoy hearing something different from our usual weekly Disney show. It's the same old walkabout, but different theme parts. So here we go, and I hope you enjoy part two of this Walk About the Universe. Welcome back over by the Minions Land.
Starting point is 00:00:51 There are some minions meeting and greeting. We'll walk by and say, Bello. Hello. I don't know which minions they are. One has one eye and one has two eyes. One of them is short, one's tall. They both love bananas. Now we're in between Transformers Building, where we're in between Transformers building, where we're
Starting point is 00:01:16 It looks like... Let's see, who's the transformer? That is Megatron. Meeting and greeting. So we're going to head back to Potter. Platform 9 3 quarters. Take the Hogwarts Express over to the Hoggwurst over to the Hogsmead Village.
Starting point is 00:02:04 where hopefully we're going to meet up with my buddy Adam, who you may or may not know as Skipper Hoss. And we'll do some attractions at Islands Adventure and do a little walkabout there. So let's head back to Kingscross Station. Next to Diagon Alley, we'll hop a train to Hutzmead. Just to the left of Kings Cross Station is one of the only things left from
Starting point is 00:02:45 the original Amity section of the park. This is a sign up on the building that says Amity Island Lobster. I always pay tribute when I walk by. Thank you, Ryan. This is a general. There's a lot of... There's a snack. Where's the food try? Moni, I got to eat contraps and pumpkin pasties.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Ron. Food is the first of the five principal exceptions to Gunn's Law of Elemental Transfiguration. Do you know what she's talking about? Huh. The Hogwarts Express, foul miserable creatures. Something from the trolley, dear. I'd say you'd earned it. And it's shot the frogs.
Starting point is 00:05:55 I'll do two batch your seats now. I'm trying to round up these little ones. We're off to Hogwarts Express. We're in Hock'smead and it's so magical. We haven't made it to Hagsmeet yet. You're spoiling. You're spoiling. You're spoiling. spoiling my introduction. We're exiting to Hogsmead.
Starting point is 00:09:21 We haven't made it yet. We're on our way to Hogsmead. We're leaving Hogsmead station. Thanks, Adam. Anywho, I was going to say, as we come out of this station to enter Hogsmead, it's so very magical that we even found Skipper Haas. Hi. It's me.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Skipper Haas. There he is. What are we going to do? I think... I don't know. Do you want to see the... Remains? ...werepting apart.
Starting point is 00:10:00 While we're here, when you come out of the Hogsmead station, you go right to get into Hogsmead, you go left, you go to the less than wonderful-looking lost continent, which is very sad these days. lost continent is being All Hall Hallows Eve Boutique is no more
Starting point is 00:10:24 The building is gone This is the first I'm seeing It was right here Look at that, yeah So they are really Taking things apart over here They started dismantling the Poseidon
Starting point is 00:10:42 Poseidon's Fury The Triton just came down this week. The Trident, I should say. Huh, that's sad. Definitely looks different. Yeah, not having multiple towering buildings over you and all of the lights and everything else.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Like, all the lanterns are gone for the most part. Because there's no buildings to connect in to. Well, there's some. You know how the train of the Trident is like really messing in my head. Be able to see that clearly without the tree line too. The iconic trident of Poseidon is no more. Is Mythos coming down too? Not this year.
Starting point is 00:11:54 I think they announced it's staying up until the beginning of next. Okay. So Mythos, the restaurant across from Poseidon. Wow, that is a sight to behold. Barely. They're remaining Poseidon on the side of the building. All that remains. I think what we're gonna do then is I'm gonna keep walking circle in the islands and
Starting point is 00:13:00 end up at Spider-Man you want to do Spider-Man okay see me better days I don't even ever seen it that color two-face they should probably paint it blue all right so from the sadness that is lost continent we head to Seuss Landing you can hear it's much more joyful here. I've been told, but I'm not sure, that Q is for Kwan, and Kwan is for Kwanry. We should go,
Starting point is 00:13:56 you should go and just make sure you're right about that. Yeah, I don't know much about letters and stuff. But they tell you that. Oh, there's walls up there too. We can't see it. We'll never know. We'll have to take your word for it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:11 The Suce trolley train ride is above us. You see us for many? Some sneaches, goose juice and moose juice. Is that the feel or geyser? Is he a cop? It might be. Oh, here. Yeah, there's a little Mulberry Street.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Here, I'll take a picture. You got a little tribute to Dr. Seuss himself in cartoon form. Over in the Mulberry Street store. It's still there. Nobody likes books. I mean, Lorax is happy. Oh, is that what was happening? Is that the, they were chopping down the truffalo trees to make the books? We'll just blame the one slur. Circus McGurcus to the left. One fish, two fish, redfish, bluefish ahead of us as we passed the Lorax.
Starting point is 00:16:00 And not the carousel, but the caroussel. Adam, who's your favorite animal on the carousouse cell? That one? Good choice. It speaks to me. Cat in the hat, home to a pair of the creepiest little animatronics on property. I'm still saying that's the scariest ride on all of Universal Property. Darkmore, you got it, but like kind of hat is like one step above you.
Starting point is 00:16:42 I also miss the archway. What happened to that? It's been gone for a long time. But the green eggs and ham sounds back. Well, they have those hash potato barrels there still? Those are pretty good. They got new ones too. They are like plater snagued.
Starting point is 00:17:10 I do with the young girl in the group. I made everything. and green eggs and ham to our right as we go under what used to be an arch. It is no longer. The tree is called the shaving brush tree. All of the sprouts look like giant puffy white shaving brushes. And it's one of the coolest things ever to see. When I used to work in Marble, I would walk past this tree all the time.
Starting point is 00:17:48 And yeah, it's that early part of the year, right before spring, right during the first part of spring, but it's still cold out. You could see this tree is blooming with all these just white puffs. they turn into the leaves. Very cool. The shaving brush tree. So that's right in front of Comfisco's. If you go down close to the water, toward the water,
Starting point is 00:18:09 and you'll see that tree. It is cool, though, even without it. It's very green. So are we now, Adam? In front of chilling Charlie's. If you'd like a lemon slush. What island is this? It's done in the port of entry.
Starting point is 00:18:54 There you go. However, we kind of came in from the side, so we didn't really... We had the port of Hogsmead. Port of entries where you would normally come in, and then you can go left to Marvel or right towards Seuss. We're going to go down toward the lagoon. Some cool signage. So I have a...
Starting point is 00:19:34 I have a conundrum slash a question that I've never been able to answer in all my years of being at the park as a guest, but also being at the parks. Nobody knows what this means. So it's not a real character? Nobody has been able to figure out what it is. I think it's someone's initials of some kinds. Interesting. But there's two of them. There's one here, and there's one.
Starting point is 00:20:09 right there. Oh yeah. So yeah, it looks... There's only rocks that have any writing on. It's the only rock that has any writing on it, I can tell. On the rock is a... It looks like an Asian character of some kind, but apparently means nothing,
Starting point is 00:20:26 or nobody can tell us what it means. I don't know. It's obviously been here since the park's been open, but I do not know. I've asked everybody I know of. It's a mystery. Yeah, it's one of my favorite, like... Still something undiscovered in all of this theme park.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Nobody seems to come down here. It's a nice spot. You can see all the islands together. It's where the Christmas tree used to be when I used to put one here. You ever find photos of that. It's like one of the coolest Christmas trees I think we've ever done. But now you get the vista of the Veloccoaster and the visitor center of Jurassic Park and Hogwarts. I am curious with that.
Starting point is 00:21:11 And mythos. Changes are coming. You obviously hear the Hulk in the background. So we are headed into Marvel Superhero Island. The Universal edition of Marvel. The OG. Pre-Disney Marvel. Hey, there's a chill out in the cool zone fan blowing it.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Yeah, let's chill in the cool zone. Uh, it's not that cool. It's just a warm mist. Going over the bridge. Yes, there are a lot of bridges because they are islands. That originally all had to do with literature. Apparently still do. True.
Starting point is 00:22:43 That was the sound of the Dr. Doom Fearfall, which is kind of the opposite of Tower of Terror. Fantastic Four Cafe. Offering pizza, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken fettuccini, and Caesar salads. I still love the goboes. You don't see a good gobo. Really? That's a very 90s image.
Starting point is 00:23:31 All of it. All the goboes, all the painting, the image, the mural. So if you don't know anything about lighting, tell us what a gobo is, Adam. It's basically just this solid image, like a picture disc, with a high brightness light behind it. So it's basically just projecting a single image, like a little image. like a low-tech projector. Yeah. Original projector.
Starting point is 00:23:55 So in this case, it's all fantastic for pictures. And a lot of the times goboes will also just be like punched holes in a disc to create like texture. Texture lighting. Yeah. But yeah, in this case, it's literally just, it's just a picture projected. And then they are animated, so they kind of just move around in circles. They are technically moving. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:17 It's a great mural too I came in here because I was told that they have a dessert that I'm like super curious to see what it looks like and I can see it from here it's that big that is a smores brownie are we gonna partake?
Starting point is 00:24:36 Yeah that's partake. That one. So it's a smores cookie It's like a big thing with marshmallow on top. It's very hard. All right, we had the cookie.
Starting point is 00:25:03 What's your verdict? SMR. It's not that kind of podcast. I'm not going to lie. Not as hyped up, or it was more hyped up than it really should be. It was a fine cookie, but I'm not putting it in my top ten at all. I don't feel like I lost money. It was more like...
Starting point is 00:25:32 It was more like... It tastes like sweet bread. It was like a cookie bread. Yeah. It was just... There was a lot of crunch for no reason. Very crumbly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Very difficult to eat. All right, we've reached the amazing adventures of Spider-Man, which was my goal. So that's what we're going to ride. Still, after all these years, this ride still holds up. Still a great ride. Kind of set a standard for like the, this kind of attraction. entering the Daily Vue book.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Do you do any of these signs? No, read every sign. I have to read them all. Midnight deadline, you must turn in either your final story copy or your resignation. It's your choice, sincerely, the management. Deadline, D, don't procrastinate. E, expect delays. A, anticipate cutoff times.
Starting point is 00:26:51 D, deliver your material on time. L, lateness is unacceptable, and inexcusable. No excuses. Deadline. The hardest to get to Penny Press in all of the theme party. I'm not down. I'm not going to be the world. Or minute. The spider signal. With Spider Man nearby, trouble can't be far away.
Starting point is 00:28:40 And you know what trouble means. National coverage. So don't screw this up. I mean, good luck. With Doc Ack almost, this can be the most dangerous. This could be the most dangerous night of my life and yours. Be careful. Nice shit.
Starting point is 00:29:01 That's why the man won't be able to stop me. A bus. To stop, carefully raise your left bar and exit the vehicle. Make sure you take all your personal belongings and you can drop off the night vision bubbles if the bins provided. Now I'd better see about getting Mr. Jameson down. See you later. Right holds up.
Starting point is 00:33:02 I would like them to go back and change it, do like a special version where they do the original animation. Yeah. Because it was so cheesy. Yeah. I do like the update because it included the Stanley cameos and stuff. But I still question how he teleports at the end. You literally, you land, he's staying right in front of you.
Starting point is 00:33:26 You turn a corner and he's at least 30 hours away from him. You're like, yo, you're the real super. He's Stanley, you know. It's his world. He can do what he wants. Captain America to the right, throwing his shields. Yes, that's a good, that's a good tidbit if you're ever finding yourself in Marvel Island. Look for all the hidden atoms. And the one max. In the one max, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:19 So in the oversized comic characters, he signed his name in a lot of them. Most of them. Adam Cooper? Adam? Something. I bling it on his last thing. Similar, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, he did all of the large-scale art in the land, all the big figs to make you seem small and all the superheroes seem larger than life.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Yeah, it's Adam on all of them, and then the Iceman one has Max's name. I think it's the Sun, yeah. It's kind of like how Al Hirschfeld would hide the Ninas and then put the little nuts. and then put the little number down how many Ninas were in each of the drawings. Oh yeah, down the bottom. I think it's also this foot on the tiny ones on the 11th left.
Starting point is 00:35:13 And as I sat down. If it wasn't for that horse, I never would have made it through college. Anyways. I just realized I wasn't recording this whole time. We were having this wonderful conversation about Tune Lagoon being outdated and all of the comics nobody recognizes. The autographs, the signature. then? No, I was
Starting point is 00:36:01 recording back then. Okay. That was a nine-minute conversation. I don't want to ever have you. Oh, we were talking about gasoline alley. Nobody knows what that is. Yeah. All they know is that it's spit tight you for some reason. That's a bad use of gas. Hagar
Starting point is 00:36:20 the horrible. Thedel Bailey is a little more recognizable. Betty Boop, of course, timeless. Popeye, we were talking about Popeye and whether we thought Popeye was timeless. And like, yeah, Papa, I mean, you get movies, the TV show, or, you know, the cartoon show. But yeah, I don't remember the comic strips at all. Grimmie? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:40 I liked Grimmie. But I think he kind of went out in the 90s, too. I liked Grimmie, and then it turned in the courage to cowardly dog. You're not wrong. Like, that was basically the same thing. I think that was the evolution of that, and unrelated entirely. Yeah. But, like, I think that was the evolution for our generation.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Very similar, yeah. I mean, Rocky and Bowinkle, I think, are classic. but I also don't know the last time that there was something for it other than that one movie in the 90s. Right, that's something, that's a property that, like, you have to kind of pass on for kids.
Starting point is 00:37:09 But you understand that the 90s were 26 years ago. Don't tell me that. 36, and you count the beginning of the 90s. Don't tell me that. Yeah, but the bottom line is, it's definitely, I don't want to say completely irrelevant,
Starting point is 00:37:27 but... If you want to feel completely irrelevant and old, lost a lot of you. What's a lot of you? Which is closed again, but when it was originally a store, it used to be an internet cafe. Yes! In theme park, internet cafe.
Starting point is 00:37:45 I remember this. You could pay for internet in the theme park and hang out at Wassamada U. Man, those were the days. 1999 was crazy. Dudley Drew Wright, I think, is probably the only thing out of this entire land that I think has any legs. And that's just because Brennan Fraser is a great cut. Red and Fraser, forever known as Dudley Duhry. Or George of the Jungle.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Both of those properties were already at the time, you know, classics from the 1960s. My wife's favorite part of any water ride. Pay for the spray? Paying to spray the people. I've only done this twice. Really? Yeah. And I love all the comedy in it is great.
Starting point is 00:39:02 I mean, all the puns and... Did you know? It's difficult to see from here, and I don't know if the effect still works. But if you see the danger explosive sign, they go underneath the whole dock. There's a crate on the side of the building there that has a chicken that hops out.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Did not know that? Yeah. But it does look like the roof and stuff are working. Yeah, the sign's spinning it. everything. Yeah, there was a crate like a little, like this not animatronic per se, just a moving, like flat piece of just jump out. It'd be a little chicken. You just get scared and go, wow. I don't know if it's worked in, but the comedy. I mean, you know, the Mount Rushmore with Dudley and the characters and the star coming out of the back of his head. But the best part,
Starting point is 00:39:51 though, is the hideout sign. Oh yeah, the neon hideout sign. The neon hideout sign. Perfect. Doesn't seem like too many people are riding. Pay to spray things used to be quarters. Yeah, swiping. Everything used to be quarters and tokens. So once you leave Toon Lagoon... You have Jurassic Park...
Starting point is 00:41:03 Wait, King Kong. It was Jurassic Park, but now they've squeezed in the Kong ride because they had to bring back Kong in some way, so Skull Island it is. Want to ride Kong? Sure. Skull Island, reign of Kong. Again, one of my favorite cues. That's what I was going to say.
Starting point is 00:41:27 The cue itself is more impressive than the ride, aside from the animatronic. I think removing the 3D glasses was fun. It changed it a little bit. I haven't been since they've done that. Yes. So the atmosphere, everything. This backer track is in my lounge at home. Because it's just so atmospherically spooky.
Starting point is 00:41:48 It's great. We can't ride calm. Oh, delayed. Okay, we will not be riding Skull Island ring of Kong. Still good ride, though. Even if it's delayed. Also, since we had that cold snap and they kind of cut down a lot of the dead trees, it's been very interesting to revisit seeing everything again.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Yeah, it's like it's the 90s again. Yeah. Because, man, it got so full, like very, very different. Gungli, which was beautiful, but also you couldn't tell that there was a playground over there. Camp Jurassic and the P-flyers, that nobody's allowed to ride. Unless it's in Orlando, a former night. Got the T-Rex and the Explorer to our left. Jurassic ride, Jurassic Boat Ride is currently down for renovations.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Your episodes should be Just leaving the mic Right over by the steps To make all the dinosaur noises in Camp Jurassic Why can't we do that right now? Because I think it's closed Oh Boo
Starting point is 00:43:12 Everything's closed What time is the park closed? A thought nine Hard in our dust It just says pea fly as is down It doesn't say Camp Jurassic You can see all the cool photo apps That's why I brought you here
Starting point is 00:43:38 Not really hanging out But you know It's nice to have somebody To point out all of the stuff that you worked on I will take zero minutes For this one Our team knocked it out
Starting point is 00:43:55 For doing Kind of just a minimal overlay For A drastic Outfitter store Because the ride was down I still wanted to pull people in here For You know, have fun
Starting point is 00:44:06 But yeah adding the triceratops meat and grieve. Which again, a throwback? Yeah. A lot of the props up in the overheads were pretty cool. If you hang out long enough over in the corner of that yellow satellite phone might play a very familiar tune. I remember so often. Not the first time it is...
Starting point is 00:44:40 Where else would we have seen her? One of the previous tribute stores, the Jurassic World One. and then it comes from actual park lineage Jurassic Park lineage? Maybe. It's all really cool. Case you need to camo sucks. Cammo everything. Make it do the thing. It goes when it wants to.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Can you call it? It's not motion activated? No, that would be dangerous. I wish all of this was like the 90s patterns from like the movie. like the weird like neony patterns. They need to bring those back. You know when they did the denim ones? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:39 It was like the random like push where all the dinosaurs are you denim on the Yeah. Kind of see straight ahead over the butt of bushes there. We brought back into this toilet scene. All right. A fan favorite when we did the Jurassic Anniversary Tribute store. A great one. Phil really wanted to bring this one back.
Starting point is 00:46:04 So it makes sense. It's so good. You know what I love? The use of the yellow background? The classic. The classic yellow instead of the red. The red is in here. Actually, a lot of the brand recognition is used throughout.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Even the round sunset from Lost World and stuff like that, too. Very cool. But, I don't mean it's classic. It still has the bite taken out of the boat. Yeah, the boat shelves are great. I will not at all confirm. anything over here. I know.
Starting point is 00:46:43 I was going to mention that since this is technically a Disney podcast. I mean, I'm not... No idea. It's crazy. It just showed up one day. That's just filed that that happened. Yeah, they ran out of, like, white tubes,
Starting point is 00:46:56 so we had to pick other colors, and those are the only two left, so... Look, there's a red tube, a yellow tube, and a white tube, and they have this weird writing on them. What might that be? It looks like jibbering. to me, not a lot.
Starting point is 00:47:12 It probably is. It probably means nothing. You guys know exactly what I'm talking about. These buttons do do things. There are a few that if you pay attention, I don't remember which one. Are you sure? Nothing's happening.
Starting point is 00:47:40 I promise they do stuff. Well, come back of it. Maybe it doesn't work on there. There's some lights that go on and off. Basically, they control some of the lighting. I think it's the one that's actually not, working with you. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Are actually where the old exits, the exit, whenever it comes back, it's not dead, where the exit of the ride was, is we have this classic Cheeto dinosaur. I love that color. It really reminds me of the S&S phase. Yes. Where you got to play as the Raptor. And then working with the photo class stuff, being able to have this photo op. So if you get in it, it will put it with the camera and it does.
Starting point is 00:48:29 the edited background for you like you saw in the that's very cool it's pretty beautiful that's too much accessible is most sleep and you do have a button back here that actually takes the photo for you so you can get a group of people and do the whole thing how cool yeah it worked out really good it's probably my favorite photo ops that the team has ever put together and it's a real Jeep that was cut in half like it's authentic yeah Very cool. Yeah, this store needed a little bit of love, but I think you got it. It definitely got the love.
Starting point is 00:49:08 I think there's one in Dramatic World, so it's not lying. Are people allowed to know that? Well, you can figure it out if you want. I'm not going to point it out, but this specific design by this company that does these, they literally hot-swapped them. So when we did that, they were like, oh, my God, I think we have that. So I don't know how long that'll last. I just, that's one of those, like, serendipitous, funny things.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Nobody's really paying attention to because nobody does the pennies anymore. Because now you are indeed the only park in Orlando that features a dino section of your park. Is that true? I mean, yeah. Legoland? They have, like, mini dinolemen? I don't consider that as, like, Orlando, though. That's winter haven.
Starting point is 00:50:02 That's fair. I mean, you could say Dino, or Dinosaur World in Planned City. This is also one of my other favorite spots here. Because you get the Veloccoaster heart. Only spot you can see it is like right around here. I didn't really take a photo of it for Valentine's study. But it looks way different from every other angle. But like right here, it's the perfect thing.
Starting point is 00:50:33 It's the perfect heart. Yeah. Jurassic fruit cups, they're very tasty. Natural selections, clever. Bering cream churip. There's a flat version of the toilet app photo op. Velascoaster paddocks on our right. Raptor encounter to the left.
Starting point is 00:51:26 And my favorite sign on property... Is it the pizza sign? I love the pizza Pizza sign I only like it if it's working If it's not working It's working I see the movement
Starting point is 00:51:41 Yeah Two little compis fighting over the pizza Predatoria That is not an atom design though Unfortunately It's something I didn't notice until recently Is that it moves It's a kinetic sign
Starting point is 00:52:08 I didn't notice that's a lot of here It used to be broken all the time You know the one thing I'm happy about today What's that? Me being here Yeah. Besides that. No, how is it?
Starting point is 00:52:27 Good. Because my other answer sounded dumb, so. That made me sound like a good guy. You are a good guy. I'll give you that. I got moments. I'll give you that. Hammond's Hot Chats is also one of my other favorite signs of the entire land.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Because it's so ridiculous. It's like the Jordan's... Yeah. The Michael Jordan dunking some... I'm surprised they got away with that. But it's a dinosaur with shoes. One day, you gotta come and do all of the dino sequencing thing and turn yourself into a dinosaur downstairs.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Yeah, that's weird. It's the coolest thing ever. It's so weird. Also, Dino store might be one of my favorite stores for aesthetic reasons, because it's the only store that I truly feel like I'm in the museum. It does feel very... It's a classic museum, like the dioramas.
Starting point is 00:53:18 Yeah. Absolutely. It felt like the visitor's center. Yeah. The displays. And it has a great pun. True. Wait, what's the pun? Dinosaur.
Starting point is 00:53:30 I don't get it. We're too like. Spinosaurus to our left and Hogwartsesaurus straight ahead. Another problem with the tree. I mean, even with the trees there, though. Yeah. It was always there. I will say when they added the lockers,
Starting point is 00:53:48 they added the wall over here. I think that really helps a little bit. Because otherwise it is a bit of a shock when you're walking from Jurassic Park and then, oh, there's Hogwarts. I got a look at this one. I just told they updated there. I think it's louder. Yeah, you're walking into Harry Potter World, into Hognit Hotsmead, and you're hearing a different genre of score. I know that they're going to do the castle show tonight because the Shudders are open.
Starting point is 00:54:57 Secrets. No, it's right there. It's not a secret. We're on the bridge with the lovely vista of the castle. Nice lighting right now. Yeah. The castle just went through a refurbishment. Scoot over a little bit where you're blocking that light.

Starting point is 00:55:42 I mean, it's a four-letter word. So we are back in the Grand Circle where we started back in Hogsmead. I think we're going to grab a butter beer. I don't know. I actually like pumpkin juice. Oh. Pumpkin juices. And put the pumpkin juice on tap on the Hogshead.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Yeah. That's good stuff. Oh, you know what the... Probably my favorite drink at Hogshead. What's that? It's their version of a Long Island, but they replaced the Coke or the soda with raspberry tea. Oh. Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what the name was called.
Starting point is 00:56:27 Somebody gave it to me once, but it was really good. Sounds good. Did you want a pumpkin or do you want a butter beer? What do you want? Yes, all will be above. It's pop into the hogshead here. It was like a pumpkin. silent goodness
