Speaker 1 (00:01):
From the theme park capital of the World, Orlando, Florida.
Is the Theme Park Podcast?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Wait podcast?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Is this all the radio?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Why does everything gotta be so messy on this station?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Here's your hosts, Dickerman, Jimmy D and Scott Harris.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Hey there, and welcome to the Theme Park Podcast. Dickerman. Here,
there is Jimmy D, Hellosas and Scott Harris.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh he's also in National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon one.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
We are telling you we were discussing Charlie Sheen in
the Theme Park Podcast pre show, which we do recommend
you seeing because we talk about nonsense for like two
minutes before the show starts.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's a movie that also starts and stars Emilia westevez
Well Brothers.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
So it makes sense. Is it too cold to go
to theme parks right now? I love theme parks in
the cold, but I feel like we're at a different
level in central Florida right now.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
At one point I looked today when it was a
high of fifty and Millennium Falcon had a thirty minute wait.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Here you go. Yeah, see, that's maybe that's the time
to go now. Granted this weekend we do have highs
getting back up in the seventies, I think, so we'll
have a reprieve from this cold. But we've got the
longest stretch of cold that I can remember in a
long time.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
You mean when there's a heat wave when it gets
seventy basically.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yes, basically that's our heat wave. When we get up east,
we can do that again. But like I told you,
I don't know if if any of the rules apply here.
But when I was in Tennessee and Dollywood, they said,
like I think it was thirty seven degrees. They stopped
running the rides. And I don't think we hit that
for any time when the parks were open this time around,
(01:49):
But I mean we could have. I wonder if they
would have stopp running rides.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
If anything, they probably would have stopped running. I mean
severe cold, and if it's like snowing or flurries, they
would probably Like the outdoor rides, I can't imagine the
water rides, like Volcano Bay has definitely been closed.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah they've frozen over. You can ice skat in there.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
But I did like when I looked Slinky Dog was
still an hour.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Okay, I mean I would love to ride a roller
coaster in the snow. I'm not gonna lie right now.
You're getting snow Like I've ridden it in the rain.
I would do it in the snow and a heartbeat.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Well, doing in the rain is painful.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
It is maybe more painful in the snow. Why they
don't let you ride the roller coasters in the rain.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
While if you just gotta it's still run it.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah they'll run. Yeah, it's it's a lot of times
lightning is is kind of the the worry.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yeah, that's there is a threshold for wind. I don't
know about. I've never heard anybody discuss like environmentally snow.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Outside the cold. We do have breaking news as we
come on the air today. This involves Universal Studios making
some significant announcements. Scott Harris.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, so Universal announced their event calendar for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Oh it's I mean we're a few weeks in the January.
It's almost February basically.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
And sorry I'm reading here. Beginning Thursday, July twenty third,
Halloween Horror Nights twenty twenty five begins.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
It would not doubt it if they just bumped it
to July. Hey, look we're behind this year by about
a million. I just started Halloween hood Night three weeks early.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
We'll get it.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
We'll be good.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
It actually starts August twenty ninth.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, but actually there is an event that begins this
weekend Marty Grass Rock the Universe.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Oh, rock the Universe.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I forgot that.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I forgot that happens still yeap rocking, they got who
Marty Grass starts on February first. Okay, so that's really
close to Who's Who's rock in the universes?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
You were gonna ask me that, and I was not
prepared for it.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
To give me the options. It's either Skillet, or it's
that one switch Foot or somebody with three names. It's
the one. There's always one with three.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Names, Matthew West, Brandon Lake Rend Collective or some of
the Fridays I think that I should consumed by Fire,
Bethel Music, Forrest Frank or some of these Saturday concerts.
I don't recognize that any of them from for the share.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
If you're in Christian music, I'm sure it's like a
big deal to you. Absolutely, that's kind of its own thing.
It's kind of like a niche, you know, sort of
an audience.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
But it is a very packed event. It is also
separately ticketed event.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Oh yeah, I have no doubt about that. What isn't
separately ticket It is Marty Grass right, that is its
own thing. No extra ticket, It's just.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Normal, correct, the it's part of it's part of like
your your ticket or your annual pass. You do have
to pay extra for beignets.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Mm hm Yes, those do cost more.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
And especially if you want to buy them by the
barrel full.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Mm hmm. Can you get a beignet and a butter
beer together?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, it's called walking from one place to another.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Okay, all right, man, I just want to buy him
at the same stand.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
He wants a beignet is packed full a butter beer.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
What I would like is a a value pack. Okay,
I want a beignet, a butter per and a GLP
one all together.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, I thought, I know, I've got I have. Actually
I figured it out. Get some beignets, get a walk
with me on this. Get a beignet hot butter beer
mm hmmm, dunk the vigne in the hot butter.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Beer but beer?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Or I mean you could do with a cold butter beer,
but I think it would work better in a hot At.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
What point do I take the GOOPI is that like,
after I'm.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Done and then you ride the.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Rippread Rocket, that might actually solve the butter beer vine problem.
You won't need the GLP one. Just ride Repbred Rocket
a couple of times.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, that's an interesting way to do believe you.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Mm hm Yeah, it's not believe me if it's on accident,
you know it's.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
It's it's on accident, put on purpose natural.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Occurrence if you eat those things and ride a roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Some other things that are on this calendar though, is
April nineteenth, twenty sixth, May third, tenth and seventeenth is
universal Volcano Bay Nights.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Oh, so they're gonna try and do like summer nights.
The old Wet and Wild deal corrects.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Summer nights with them. Oh, they were the best.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
It was great because it was also only like twenty bucks,
and I don't feel like you're gonna get into Volcano
Bay for twenty monks. But that was, you know, I
don't know how many years ago, a million at least.
I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The thing is like they're kind of also kind of
stealing away what Disney does. Disney does the same kind
of thing when they do their the Glow nights out
at their at their water parks as well.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
That is true. Yeah, I mean water parking night's fun.
Nobody's nobody's gonna argue that point. It's fun. The SeaWorld
actually does one too at Aquatica. They do. They do
theirs as well, Yes they do.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yes, and you know, yes, they are a separate ticket event.
It's usually not as busy at night. It's a lot
of fun.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure it is. It is a
It is a good time, I hope. Because it is
at night, maybe get a little discount on that ticket
because it's only a few hours.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Maybe, possibly, I don't know. There's not as many details
yet announced for that.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Those will be to come.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Speaking of butter beer though, butter Beer season March first
through May thirty first.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
What does that mean? What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yes, but it means we're just celebrating butter beer and we.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Get extra Do we get like a free butter beer
shot when you come into.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
The No, no, no, it means you buy that, you
buy it.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Dickerman wants the double scuba tank filled with butter beer,
and it's having coming in over his shoulders and right
into his mouth.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
A very least like the hat, the old the old
hat where it had the two beer mugs on the side.
It would run to your mouth. That's fine too.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Now I'm thinking like the guy from Purity Road, but
it's butter beer flowing in.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah, straight in, just straight in.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Did you get did you guys see the movie beer.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Fest Years of Broken Lizard.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's a Broken Lizard movie. It's there, it's I think
they're fallow up to Club Dread. A character falls into
a giant beer vat and attempts to drink himself out
of it.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
How did it work that you lived?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
He did not, but I can imagine you trying to
to attempt, said, it's very a.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Great way to go.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I don't one of those butter beer barrels. I would
get out of that note.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
For I know you would eat that. I think you
would eat your way into it.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Mm hmmmmm.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Man out, I'd say, hey, I need a refill over.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
He crushed the barrel on the side of his head.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
So that's going on. Jimmy talked about August twenty ninth
through November two select Knights, Halloween horrnites.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
It's so wild that you say August and Halloween hornites.
It is so funed from Halloween. But I understand why
they do it because there's a demand for it. It's
just wild that we're like in the still in the
dead of summer and here we are Halloween hornites.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, it's demand. And it's also a holiday weekend. Labor Days, right,
is also that weekend.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
So yeah, but Labor Day is for college football, it
is not Halloween.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Look man, look man, Labor Day's all I'm probably soon
gonna be for the NFL as well, so might as
well adjust to shifting timelines. And then November twenty first
through December thirty first is the holidays at Universal The.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Grinch, the Grinch miss and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yes exactly is free. The Red Coconut Club will be
re themed. It'll be the Cursed Cursed Coconut Club during
Marty Grot Dead Coconut for Halloween, Hornet's and the Green
and Red Coconut Club for the holidays.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
What happens to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade if Macy's
goes out of business, because I feel like they're like
on that same line with Sears and J. C. Penny
or they're just hanging on, like do we get a
new title sponsor. Is it going to be the Amazon
Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I don't know that Macy's is going anywhere, at least
the one in New York City. Having just been there, like,
I don't know, four weeks ago, it was bananas in there.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I hope you're right with brick and mortar stores.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Granted it was like five days before Christmas, but I
mean it was just a madhouse in there. Yeah, so
I can't tell you what it looks like today, but
then they were not in suffering at all.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, and I can't imagine, like the way it works,
that's never going to go away. It's too much of
an institution. It's the second longest I'm just looking at that,
it's the second oldest Thanksgiving parade in the United States.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Well, yeah, I'm just saying, if they if they can
keep it alive, that's the question. You know. Sears was
around for a million years and then all of a sudden, boom,
they're dead. They're gone, see you later, Sears.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, I don't think there's any worry.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
They've got some Craftsman tools with lifetime warranty. The I'm
concerned about MMR.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
I'm I am checking's financials right now.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Jimmy's gonna check and he might buy some stock.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
This is not a financial podcast. Do you not listen
to anything that the Team Park podcast discloses when it
comes to buying and selling or trading stocks.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Except for my exclusive line of Scott Scott coin.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yes, gotcoin, the skycoin. Oh, it's a good one. It's
a good one. Yes, I got the one where he's
wearing the vest.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Yeah, I have all the best to the future themed yours. Yeah, you,
yours is a it's a it's a facsimile. It's a
it's a fake.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's a fake. Speaking of festivals, though, SeaWorld announced their
seven Ce's Festival.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Okay, this is this is their food fest. They're they're
in the game like everybody else. They have a big festival.
They have concerts with that too, right.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yes they do. They do kicks off January thirty first
through May fourth.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Jeez, it's like in a week, yes it is.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
It's the same week as Marty Girl.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Okay, all right, here we go.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It's just one starts the Friday, the other starts a Saturday.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
All right, all right, So they'll have food offerings.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
We know that twenty five different food booths set up
throughout the park.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Let me run through some artists at the year.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Because they usually actually get pretty decent bands at SeaWorld
at the.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
The Bay Side stage. We've got boys like Girls.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Okay, that's their nineties band.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
No, they're a pop punk band of the two thousands. Okay,
two thousands, Sarah Evans X ex Pose.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I maybe I've heard of them.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
It's an eighties band, eighties like uh music group Turnstiles,
a Billy Joel tribute.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Okay, Actually, I imagine that's probably pretty good. Like a
Billy Joel tribute is probably pretty decent.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Uh, Holly Hatchett Molly No, No, Holly Hatchett's.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
It a cover band of Molly I'm guessing.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I'm looking at the Seerworl website and it says Molly
does it?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Okay? Then I then that a typo was was made
because leg yeah, I didn't lay It's not like I
copy and pasted it from another website.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
So I believed you, Scott One when you said Holly Hatchet.
I'm like, all right, they got somebody's doing Molly Hatchett songs,
so they don't have enough, it's actually still call it
Molly Hatchett.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
That is, that's an appropriate thing to think, especially since
half of their lineup is cover band.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, because next up it is absolute a Queen tribute. Okay,
then Lacree the Begs now tribute.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Okay, Warren, this is not a strong lineup. I cursed myself.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Warrant.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Who's left in Warren? What members do they have left?
Janey Lane's dead?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
The picture is only three people.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Jerry Dixon, Uh, deep and Sweet. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I don't know anything about Warren, so I can't tell you.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
There might be one person on earth right now listening
like Dickerman do. What are the members of Warrant? I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, it's Frank Lover.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I think I hope Frank listens to this, and I
hope Jerry Dixon really was a member of.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
War Uh Starship featuring Mickey Thomas.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Okay, all right, this next one's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Zz top real zz top top.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
That's a legit one, because that is this that that
band has been the same members since like nineteen seventy something.
They have never changed a member of that band. They've
always stayed the same.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah, and what's one of them is is Hankhill's cousin.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Oh yeah, that's right, that's right. I say they dumped
all their money in at his Easy Top on this
That's why we got some cover bands, because Easy Top
must have had a pretty decent price tag.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
By the way, Jerry Dixon and Steven Sweet are still
members of Warrant.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Look out look at my knowledge? How do I remember
these ridiculous things? But I can't remember important work items.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
It's staggering that you remembered this.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I know, it really is. It's sad.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Actually.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Then Luis Fonsie and Mitchell Tenpenny are the last. There's
a bunch of weekends that are still to be announced.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Oh yeah, well that money was spent on zz Top.
I think that's probably the biggest act they've had in
quite some time. They're still pretty popular, you know, among
you know that genre of music, and they're a pretty
legendary band.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
And if you want to get like upgraded seats for yeah,
I mean the concerts included with your admission, but if
you wanted to like sit close to the band, it's
only like some of the performances are like thirty dollars
to sit up front. Eighty dollars to sit up front.
I mean it's pretty inexpensive.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, and it's worth it if you really want to
see the band, because I want to do Skillet a
couple of years ago and it was I looked at
the line and the line was like three hundred miles long.
Actually the line went to Disney. So I was like,
forget it. I'm not I'm not gonna wait in this thing.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Don't you know him?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Yeah, I mean yeah. I didn't want to call him
a favor. I could have like pulled up the old
Facebook profile, but like, hey, look remember the time I
give you a platinum record on the host of Blue Stage.
Can I come up to.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
The concert bring the skill it that you gave him?
Speaker 3 (16:46):
I think, uh, I think Lea has had it. He's
got that still.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Oh I thought you've had it? No, No, Well, those
events are going on.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
The last time I bought seven seas concert tickets, I
had them for front row. I was so excited. I've
never sat front row of the concert before. It was
for Huey Lewis in the news and two shows before
that is when he got the ear thing.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
And ah anymore stakes.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
And then what's worse is because the concert never happened,
Like something happened with the tickets and they're still in
my SeaWorld account. No, so every time I log into
my digital will for SeaWorld, I see the ticket stubs
for the concert I never got to go to.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
It's almost like at least.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
It is no I got yeah, I got my money back,
and they were very good about all that. But it's
just like a you know, it's a ghost in the machine. Now.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Yeah, they just sit there and wait for you someday,
James someday, Well you know that's that's a that's I
think ZZ tops the big star that one. I was
kind of disappointed til you mentioned that one.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Will you be there?
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Uh? Probably No.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
I'm not gonna buy from the extra ticket, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
But no, it's included.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
It's included, I know, but I'm not gonna wait. The line.
You got to understand. The line for those shows at
SeaWorld is like no line you've ever seen before. It
is that Okay, yeah, it is insane.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
What time to see World open?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Nine ten something like that?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Then get there at nine or ten.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I'm gonna wait in the line. Yes, I don't want
to do that. I don't like waiting in lines.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Go ahead, camp out exactly.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, you' I am of the belief that you of
the older generation, unlike Jimmy and I. It's because we
are of the younger generation.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Sure, sure that.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You are trained on waiting in line for concert tickets
and concerts.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
This is true. We did bank in the day you
would camp out, Jimmy, do you ever camp out for
a concert ticket?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Not camp out? But I've waited a line for concert tickets. Yeah, yeah,
I believe I got. I get there like six in
the morning, and you know, be second or third in line.
But you know what, you got to mingle if like
you do the SeaWorld thing. They get to mingle with
those line waiters. And those are the same people that
always come out to our.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Remotes when we were at a car lot trying to
get movie tickets, and I just I can't see spending
a day with them.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Okay, here's the thing though, So that happened to me
when I got Rose McGowan to sign my poster that
the post is right behind me at Mega Con twenty
twenty four, because I got in the line to get
it autographed. But then she got pulled for a panel
and then like, but because I was friendly with the
people that were in line with me, aka forgot my
(19:36):
AirPods in my car.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Yeah, talk to them.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I had to talk to them.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
But social activity.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
But because that happened, like it was kind of a Hey,
when she comes back, you guys can like jump ahead
of the line.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
It's not bad to make friends with the people. Also,
when we all went to go see Star Wars the
first Awaken Force Awakens, I also waited in the line
while you guys worked.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Oh that that did happen, didn't it.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yes, I held the spot for you guys.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Forgot about that. Hey, thanks for doing that was nice.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I appreciate that's no problem.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Oh yeah, we owe you that one. On that one.
There's ever going to be a line for a movie,
and I don't think I don't think that happens anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Blockbusters don't really exist in that same regard as they
used to.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
It's from the days gone by. Well, that's how you
used to get concert tickets. You had to wait for
the either the blockbuster or whatever to open up, so
you get your tickets as soon as they went on sale.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yeah, did you do that? For Did you do that
for Frankie Cloes to Hollywood?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
No, I will say I did it for a lot
of more set tickets one time at the Bobcarr Performing
Arts Center, and we had second row, I believe.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Oh okay, so I did.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Pretty well for myself. I mean this was during the
Jagged Little Pill tour. If that gives you a time
frame there, Wow, okay, I've heard of that. I hope
she comes to Sea World or Universal.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
You are a couple of decades too early for that.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
My friend, she's got a Broadway show going on right now.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
The Jaggy Little Pill Show.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I've heard bad things about it.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I've heard I wanted. I've heard very good things about it.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I wanted to see it, and people don't make it's
People said, like they left it was so bad. Oh wow,
it wasn't what they were expecting as how I understood it. Well.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Jimmy brought up seeing his tickets in an app. Disney
has updated their My Disney Experiences app.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Oh when did they do this this week?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
This week?
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Okay? Yeah, because I've got a few problems with some
Disney accounts that I run, that.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
You run, that you've run what, don't worry about it.
But yes, what is going on here?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I say, I think you're gonna get banned?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
No, I have. I have some accounts with Disney that
I manage and they are not currently working.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
We're talking about the My Disney Experiences app.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yes, I know, and it's all tied together with the
Disney because I think they did major website updates as well.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Mmmm. Okay they finally got the Christmas stuff off off
the app.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Well, they also made it easier to just like switch
between parks, switch between do you want foods? Rides, characters
like wait times is now the first button that you
could click on when you're on the map screen.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Makes sense that it makes it more accessible. I literally
just deleted my Disney app this week so I can't
see this. I was running out of space on my
phone and I'm like, this takes up two gigs and
I don't go anymore. So I don't know why I
need it anymore.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Upgrade. You're sixteen gigabytr phone.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
It's sixty four.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Have you know.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I still have a Disneyland app. I haven't been there
in seven years. Oh, you're hanging on to it very quickly.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Donna meanwhile, runs out of so much space on her phone.
She deletes like the calculator and like the core apps
for the you don't have a clock anymore?
Speaker 2 (23:03):
What did you do?
Speaker 3 (23:04):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
I don't need that.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Your daughter's like, I don't need my dad's phone number.
Get that.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Get out. You're taking up space, Go.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Get rid of This is two kilobyte contact info.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Yeah, what's she doing on her phone? And she's like
max in and out like that.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Who knows what these kids do? With these these kids,
I don't know what they do?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Is is she on the Red Note app?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I don't know. I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
That was the app everyone. That's the Shinese version of.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
TikTok oh okay.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
And because when there was the six hours that TikTok
was banned.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
We went on Red Note and then they all got
educated and the kids got smarter for a day.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Star Wars Rise of the Resistance thirty minutes, let's.

Is the Theme Park Podcast?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Wait podcast?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Is this all the radio?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Why does everything gotta be so messy on this station?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Here's your hosts, Dickerman, Jimmy D and Scott Harris.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Hey there, and welcome to the Theme Park Podcast. Dickerman. Here,
there is Jimmy D, Hellosas and Scott Harris.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh he's also in National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon one.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
We are telling you we were discussing Charlie Sheen in
the Theme Park Podcast pre show, which we do recommend
you seeing because we talk about nonsense for like two
minutes before the show starts.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's a movie that also starts and stars Emilia westevez
Well Brothers.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
So it makes sense. Is it too cold to go
to theme parks right now? I love theme parks in
the cold, but I feel like we're at a different
level in central Florida right now.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
At one point I looked today when it was a
high of fifty and Millennium Falcon had a thirty minute wait.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Here you go. Yeah, see, that's maybe that's the time
to go now. Granted this weekend we do have highs
getting back up in the seventies, I think, so we'll
have a reprieve from this cold. But we've got the
longest stretch of cold that I can remember in a
long time.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
You mean when there's a heat wave when it gets
seventy basically.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yes, basically that's our heat wave. When we get up east,
we can do that again. But like I told you,
I don't know if if any of the rules apply here.
But when I was in Tennessee and Dollywood, they said,
like I think it was thirty seven degrees. They stopped
running the rides. And I don't think we hit that
for any time when the parks were open this time around,
(01:49):
But I mean we could have. I wonder if they
would have stopp running rides.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
If anything, they probably would have stopped running. I mean
severe cold, and if it's like snowing or flurries, they
would probably Like the outdoor rides, I can't imagine the
water rides, like Volcano Bay has definitely been closed.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah they've frozen over. You can ice skat in there.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
But I did like when I looked Slinky Dog was
still an hour.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Okay, I mean I would love to ride a roller
coaster in the snow. I'm not gonna lie right now.
You're getting snow Like I've ridden it in the rain.
I would do it in the snow and a heartbeat.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Well, doing in the rain is painful.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
It is maybe more painful in the snow. Why they
don't let you ride the roller coasters in the rain.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
While if you just gotta it's still run it.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah they'll run. Yeah, it's it's a lot of times
lightning is is kind of the the worry.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yeah, that's there is a threshold for wind. I don't
know about. I've never heard anybody discuss like environmentally snow.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Outside the cold. We do have breaking news as we
come on the air today. This involves Universal Studios making
some significant announcements. Scott Harris.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, so Universal announced their event calendar for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Oh it's I mean we're a few weeks in the January.
It's almost February basically.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
And sorry I'm reading here. Beginning Thursday, July twenty third,
Halloween Horror Nights twenty twenty five begins.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
It would not doubt it if they just bumped it
to July. Hey, look we're behind this year by about
a million. I just started Halloween hood Night three weeks early.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
We'll get it.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
We'll be good.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
It actually starts August twenty ninth.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, but actually there is an event that begins this
weekend Marty Grass Rock the Universe.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Oh, rock the Universe.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I forgot that.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I forgot that happens still yeap rocking, they got who
Marty Grass starts on February first. Okay, so that's really
close to Who's Who's rock in the universes?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
You were gonna ask me that, and I was not
prepared for it.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
To give me the options. It's either Skillet, or it's
that one switch Foot or somebody with three names. It's
the one. There's always one with three.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Names, Matthew West, Brandon Lake Rend Collective or some of
the Fridays I think that I should consumed by Fire,
Bethel Music, Forrest Frank or some of these Saturday concerts.
I don't recognize that any of them from for the share.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
If you're in Christian music, I'm sure it's like a
big deal to you. Absolutely, that's kind of its own thing.
It's kind of like a niche, you know, sort of
an audience.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
But it is a very packed event. It is also
separately ticketed event.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Oh yeah, I have no doubt about that. What isn't
separately ticket It is Marty Grass right, that is its
own thing. No extra ticket, It's just.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Normal, correct, the it's part of it's part of like
your your ticket or your annual pass. You do have
to pay extra for beignets.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Mm hm Yes, those do cost more.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
And especially if you want to buy them by the
barrel full.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Mm hmm. Can you get a beignet and a butter
beer together?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, it's called walking from one place to another.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Okay, all right, man, I just want to buy him
at the same stand.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
He wants a beignet is packed full a butter beer.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
What I would like is a a value pack. Okay,
I want a beignet, a butter per and a GLP
one all together.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, I thought, I know, I've got I have. Actually
I figured it out. Get some beignets, get a walk
with me on this. Get a beignet hot butter beer
mm hmmm, dunk the vigne in the hot butter.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Beer but beer?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Or I mean you could do with a cold butter beer,
but I think it would work better in a hot At.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
What point do I take the GOOPI is that like,
after I'm.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Done and then you ride the.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Rippread Rocket, that might actually solve the butter beer vine problem.
You won't need the GLP one. Just ride Repbred Rocket
a couple of times.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, that's an interesting way to do believe you.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Mm hm Yeah, it's not believe me if it's on accident,
you know it's.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
It's it's on accident, put on purpose natural.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Occurrence if you eat those things and ride a roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Some other things that are on this calendar though, is
April nineteenth, twenty sixth, May third, tenth and seventeenth is
universal Volcano Bay Nights.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Oh, so they're gonna try and do like summer nights.
The old Wet and Wild deal corrects.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Summer nights with them. Oh, they were the best.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
It was great because it was also only like twenty bucks,
and I don't feel like you're gonna get into Volcano
Bay for twenty monks. But that was, you know, I
don't know how many years ago, a million at least.
I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The thing is like they're kind of also kind of
stealing away what Disney does. Disney does the same kind
of thing when they do their the Glow nights out
at their at their water parks as well.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
That is true. Yeah, I mean water parking night's fun.
Nobody's nobody's gonna argue that point. It's fun. The SeaWorld
actually does one too at Aquatica. They do. They do
theirs as well, Yes they do.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yes, and you know, yes, they are a separate ticket event.
It's usually not as busy at night. It's a lot
of fun.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure it is. It is a
It is a good time, I hope. Because it is
at night, maybe get a little discount on that ticket
because it's only a few hours.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Maybe, possibly, I don't know. There's not as many details
yet announced for that.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Those will be to come.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Speaking of butter beer though, butter Beer season March first
through May thirty first.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
What does that mean? What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yes, but it means we're just celebrating butter beer and we.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Get extra Do we get like a free butter beer
shot when you come into.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
The No, no, no, it means you buy that, you
buy it.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Dickerman wants the double scuba tank filled with butter beer,
and it's having coming in over his shoulders and right
into his mouth.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
A very least like the hat, the old the old
hat where it had the two beer mugs on the side.
It would run to your mouth. That's fine too.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Now I'm thinking like the guy from Purity Road, but
it's butter beer flowing in.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Yeah, straight in, just straight in.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Did you get did you guys see the movie beer.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Fest Years of Broken Lizard.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's a Broken Lizard movie. It's there, it's I think
they're fallow up to Club Dread. A character falls into
a giant beer vat and attempts to drink himself out
of it.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
How did it work that you lived?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
He did not, but I can imagine you trying to
to attempt, said, it's very a.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Great way to go.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
I don't one of those butter beer barrels. I would
get out of that note.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
For I know you would eat that. I think you
would eat your way into it.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Mm hmmmmm.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Man out, I'd say, hey, I need a refill over.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
He crushed the barrel on the side of his head.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
So that's going on. Jimmy talked about August twenty ninth
through November two select Knights, Halloween horrnites.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
It's so wild that you say August and Halloween hornites.
It is so funed from Halloween. But I understand why
they do it because there's a demand for it. It's
just wild that we're like in the still in the
dead of summer and here we are Halloween hornites.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Well, it's demand. And it's also a holiday weekend. Labor Days, right,
is also that weekend.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
So yeah, but Labor Day is for college football, it
is not Halloween.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Look man, look man, Labor Day's all I'm probably soon
gonna be for the NFL as well, so might as
well adjust to shifting timelines. And then November twenty first
through December thirty first is the holidays at Universal The.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Grinch, the Grinch miss and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yes exactly is free. The Red Coconut Club will be
re themed. It'll be the Cursed Cursed Coconut Club during
Marty Grot Dead Coconut for Halloween, Hornet's and the Green
and Red Coconut Club for the holidays.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
What happens to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade if Macy's
goes out of business, because I feel like they're like
on that same line with Sears and J. C. Penny
or they're just hanging on, like do we get a
new title sponsor. Is it going to be the Amazon
Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I don't know that Macy's is going anywhere, at least
the one in New York City. Having just been there, like,
I don't know, four weeks ago, it was bananas in there.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
I hope you're right with brick and mortar stores.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Granted it was like five days before Christmas, but I
mean it was just a madhouse in there. Yeah, so
I can't tell you what it looks like today, but
then they were not in suffering at all.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, and I can't imagine, like the way it works,
that's never going to go away. It's too much of
an institution. It's the second longest I'm just looking at that,
it's the second oldest Thanksgiving parade in the United States.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Well, yeah, I'm just saying, if they if they can
keep it alive, that's the question. You know. Sears was
around for a million years and then all of a sudden, boom,
they're dead. They're gone, see you later, Sears.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, I don't think there's any worry.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
They've got some Craftsman tools with lifetime warranty. The I'm
concerned about MMR.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
I'm I am checking's financials right now.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Jimmy's gonna check and he might buy some stock.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
This is not a financial podcast. Do you not listen
to anything that the Team Park podcast discloses when it
comes to buying and selling or trading stocks.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Except for my exclusive line of Scott Scott coin.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Yes, gotcoin, the skycoin. Oh, it's a good one. It's
a good one. Yes, I got the one where he's
wearing the vest.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Yeah, I have all the best to the future themed yours. Yeah, you,
yours is a it's a it's a facsimile. It's a
it's a fake.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's a fake. Speaking of festivals, though, SeaWorld announced their
seven Ce's Festival.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Okay, this is this is their food fest. They're they're
in the game like everybody else. They have a big festival.
They have concerts with that too, right.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Yes they do. They do kicks off January thirty first
through May fourth.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Jeez, it's like in a week, yes it is.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
It's the same week as Marty Girl.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Okay, all right, here we go.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It's just one starts the Friday, the other starts a Saturday.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
All right, all right, So they'll have food offerings.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
We know that twenty five different food booths set up
throughout the park.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Let me run through some artists at the year.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Because they usually actually get pretty decent bands at SeaWorld
at the.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
The Bay Side stage. We've got boys like Girls.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Okay, that's their nineties band.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
No, they're a pop punk band of the two thousands. Okay,
two thousands, Sarah Evans X ex Pose.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I maybe I've heard of them.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
It's an eighties band, eighties like uh music group Turnstiles,
a Billy Joel tribute.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Okay, Actually, I imagine that's probably pretty good. Like a
Billy Joel tribute is probably pretty decent.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Uh, Holly Hatchett Molly No, No, Holly Hatchett's.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
It a cover band of Molly I'm guessing.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
I'm looking at the Seerworl website and it says Molly
does it?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Okay? Then I then that a typo was was made
because leg yeah, I didn't lay It's not like I
copy and pasted it from another website.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
So I believed you, Scott One when you said Holly Hatchet.
I'm like, all right, they got somebody's doing Molly Hatchett songs,
so they don't have enough, it's actually still call it
Molly Hatchett.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
That is, that's an appropriate thing to think, especially since
half of their lineup is cover band.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah, because next up it is absolute a Queen tribute. Okay,
then Lacree the Begs now tribute.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Okay, Warren, this is not a strong lineup. I cursed myself.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Warrant.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Who's left in Warren? What members do they have left?
Janey Lane's dead?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
The picture is only three people.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Jerry Dixon, Uh, deep and Sweet. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I don't know anything about Warren, so I can't tell you.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
There might be one person on earth right now listening
like Dickerman do. What are the members of Warrant? I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, it's Frank Lover.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I think I hope Frank listens to this, and I
hope Jerry Dixon really was a member of.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
War Uh Starship featuring Mickey Thomas.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
Okay, all right, this next one's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Zz top real zz top top.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
That's a legit one, because that is this that that
band has been the same members since like nineteen seventy something.
They have never changed a member of that band. They've
always stayed the same.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah, and what's one of them is is Hankhill's cousin.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Oh yeah, that's right, that's right. I say they dumped
all their money in at his Easy Top on this
That's why we got some cover bands, because Easy Top
must have had a pretty decent price tag.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
By the way, Jerry Dixon and Steven Sweet are still
members of Warrant.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Look out look at my knowledge? How do I remember
these ridiculous things? But I can't remember important work items.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
It's staggering that you remembered this.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I know, it really is. It's sad.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Actually.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Then Luis Fonsie and Mitchell Tenpenny are the last. There's
a bunch of weekends that are still to be announced.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Oh yeah, well that money was spent on zz Top.
I think that's probably the biggest act they've had in
quite some time. They're still pretty popular, you know, among
you know that genre of music, and they're a pretty
legendary band.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
And if you want to get like upgraded seats for yeah,
I mean the concerts included with your admission, but if
you wanted to like sit close to the band, it's
only like some of the performances are like thirty dollars
to sit up front. Eighty dollars to sit up front.
I mean it's pretty inexpensive.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yeah, and it's worth it if you really want to
see the band, because I want to do Skillet a
couple of years ago and it was I looked at
the line and the line was like three hundred miles long.
Actually the line went to Disney. So I was like,
forget it. I'm not I'm not gonna wait in this thing.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Don't you know him?
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Yeah, I mean yeah. I didn't want to call him
a favor. I could have like pulled up the old
Facebook profile, but like, hey, look remember the time I
give you a platinum record on the host of Blue Stage.
Can I come up to.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
The concert bring the skill it that you gave him?
Speaker 3 (16:46):
I think, uh, I think Lea has had it. He's
got that still.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Oh I thought you've had it? No, No, Well, those
events are going on.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
The last time I bought seven seas concert tickets, I
had them for front row. I was so excited. I've
never sat front row of the concert before. It was
for Huey Lewis in the news and two shows before
that is when he got the ear thing.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
And ah anymore stakes.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
And then what's worse is because the concert never happened,
Like something happened with the tickets and they're still in
my SeaWorld account. No, so every time I log into
my digital will for SeaWorld, I see the ticket stubs
for the concert I never got to go to.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
It's almost like at least.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
It is no I got yeah, I got my money back,
and they were very good about all that. But it's
just like a you know, it's a ghost in the machine. Now.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Yeah, they just sit there and wait for you someday,
James someday, Well you know that's that's a that's I
think ZZ tops the big star that one. I was
kind of disappointed til you mentioned that one.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Will you be there?
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Uh? Probably No.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
I'm not gonna buy from the extra ticket, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
But no, it's included.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
It's included, I know, but I'm not gonna wait. The line.
You got to understand. The line for those shows at
SeaWorld is like no line you've ever seen before. It
is that Okay, yeah, it is insane.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
What time to see World open?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Nine ten something like that?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Then get there at nine or ten.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I'm gonna wait in the line. Yes, I don't want
to do that. I don't like waiting in lines.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Go ahead, camp out exactly.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, you' I am of the belief that you of
the older generation, unlike Jimmy and I. It's because we
are of the younger generation.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Sure, sure that.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
You are trained on waiting in line for concert tickets
and concerts.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
This is true. We did bank in the day you
would camp out, Jimmy, do you ever camp out for
a concert ticket?
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Not camp out? But I've waited a line for concert tickets. Yeah, yeah,
I believe I got. I get there like six in
the morning, and you know, be second or third in line.
But you know what, you got to mingle if like
you do the SeaWorld thing. They get to mingle with
those line waiters. And those are the same people that
always come out to our.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Remotes when we were at a car lot trying to
get movie tickets, and I just I can't see spending
a day with them.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Okay, here's the thing though, So that happened to me
when I got Rose McGowan to sign my poster that
the post is right behind me at Mega Con twenty
twenty four, because I got in the line to get
it autographed. But then she got pulled for a panel
and then like, but because I was friendly with the
people that were in line with me, aka forgot my
(19:36):
AirPods in my car.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Yeah, talk to them.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I had to talk to them.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
But social activity.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
But because that happened, like it was kind of a Hey,
when she comes back, you guys can like jump ahead
of the line.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
It's not bad to make friends with the people. Also,
when we all went to go see Star Wars the
first Awaken Force Awakens, I also waited in the line
while you guys worked.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Oh that that did happen, didn't it.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yes, I held the spot for you guys.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Forgot about that. Hey, thanks for doing that was nice.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I appreciate that's no problem.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Oh yeah, we owe you that one. On that one.
There's ever going to be a line for a movie,
and I don't think I don't think that happens anymore.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Blockbusters don't really exist in that same regard as they
used to.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
It's from the days gone by. Well, that's how you
used to get concert tickets. You had to wait for
the either the blockbuster or whatever to open up, so
you get your tickets as soon as they went on sale.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yeah, did you do that? For Did you do that
for Frankie Cloes to Hollywood?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
No, I will say I did it for a lot
of more set tickets one time at the Bobcarr Performing
Arts Center, and we had second row, I believe.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Oh okay, so I did.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Pretty well for myself. I mean this was during the
Jagged Little Pill tour. If that gives you a time
frame there, Wow, okay, I've heard of that. I hope
she comes to Sea World or Universal.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
You are a couple of decades too early for that.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
My friend, she's got a Broadway show going on right now.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
The Jaggy Little Pill Show.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I've heard bad things about it.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I've heard I wanted. I've heard very good things about it.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I wanted to see it, and people don't make it's
People said, like they left it was so bad. Oh wow,
it wasn't what they were expecting as how I understood it. Well.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Jimmy brought up seeing his tickets in an app. Disney
has updated their My Disney Experiences app.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Oh when did they do this this week?
Speaker 2 (21:35):
This week?
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Okay? Yeah, because I've got a few problems with some
Disney accounts that I run, that.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
You run, that you've run what, don't worry about it.
But yes, what is going on here?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I say, I think you're gonna get banned?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
No, I have. I have some accounts with Disney that
I manage and they are not currently working.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
We're talking about the My Disney Experiences app.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Yes, I know, and it's all tied together with the
Disney because I think they did major website updates as well.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Mmmm. Okay they finally got the Christmas stuff off off
the app.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Well, they also made it easier to just like switch
between parks, switch between do you want foods? Rides, characters
like wait times is now the first button that you
could click on when you're on the map screen.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Makes sense that it makes it more accessible. I literally
just deleted my Disney app this week so I can't
see this. I was running out of space on my
phone and I'm like, this takes up two gigs and
I don't go anymore. So I don't know why I
need it anymore.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Upgrade. You're sixteen gigabytr phone.
Speaker 3 (22:41):

in seven years. Oh, you're hanging on to it very quickly.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Donna meanwhile, runs out of so much space on her phone.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (23:05):
I don't need that.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Your daughter's like, I don't need my dad's phone number.
Get that.
Speaker 3 (23:10):

I don't know what they do?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Is is she on the Red Note app?
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I don't know. I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
That was the app everyone. That's the Shinese version of.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
TikTok oh okay.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
And because when there was the six hours that TikTok
