Speaker 3 (00:52):

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
By the time this year's in the radio will be

Speaker 5 (00:56):
Yes, exactly, second day first, not even a second day.
It's gonna be like six hours into seven hours into March.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
No, it's happy. I can go out in public these
days now.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yes, it's cleared for inter human interactions.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I'm still limited on the things I can do. But yes,
I can leave my house.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I heard you went to a theme park.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I did. I did go to a theme park.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
And you go to Ebcot to wait in line to
ride Guardians of the Galaxy.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
No, because the virtual cue hadn't been lifted yet when
I went.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Okay, so where did you go?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
What did your surgeon require you to wear a burlap
sack with one hole cut in it?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
No? I did not dress like the I would did not.
I was not the elephant man when I went to
Disney's Hollywood studios. But I wore a hat. I wore
a hat. I wore a hood like. My hoodie was
up almost at all times. I put a band aid
over my scar and sunglasses.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
So you have done the half faced Phantom of the
opera situation and just put it on the scar side.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I could.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yeah, Okay, that had been cool.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
I wonder how Disney had, like, what's would they let
you wear something? Because the rule is you're not led
to wear a mask, but if you had some kind of.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Like medical reasons, like a mask lady reason, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Like the lady and nope, when she got her face
ripped off by the monkey and she always had to
wear the veil, I.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Would, I mean, if anything that was Honestly, I probably
could have just like worn like a mask, like a
surgical mask because of where like my scar is. I
could easily hip done that. Or I could just wear
or you know what, I could just buy a Kylo
ren mask and wear that.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
You can't wear that in the park.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
They sell it in the park. What do you mean
I can't wear that?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I know, I know if you buy it there you
can see him wear it. It's only if you buy
it there you can't wear it into the park. But
once you buy it you can wear it.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I'm pretty sure they're gonna make you take it off.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Although I could probably wear like a rebel pilot helmet
because it kind of goes in a little bit.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yes, so I could.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I could do that.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Scott had a surgery and he had stitches, so he
had to cover his face from the sun. That's this
is why we're discussing masks.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I still have. I still have to. By the way,
uh pup up up up up pro tip where sunscreen.
People always remember to wear sunscreen.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Don't get melanoma.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Okay, we're going to tell the truth. Scott was in
a bar fight with a shark.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Tell us about Hollywood Studios.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Hollywood Studios. Hollywood Studios is a park at which is
part of the Walt Disney World resort. They one of
the four parks that they have features such places as
Star Wars, Galaxy's Edge, Toy story Land. No, it was, and.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Isn't it connected to this amazing hotel that they have
right there, the Galactic star Cruiser. That's that's like their
big new thing, right.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
No, it's an all that's office buildings we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah, that's an imagine your building.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, I mean there is a hotel on property. It's
the Hollywood Tower. Mm hm oh no, we.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Are too Disney engineers. I wonder if they're going to
work there.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
You claim to know all of these theme park engineers,
and you're like, I'll talk to them all, get them
on the show, or I'll learn some stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I don't technically know them. Their roommates or boyfriends of
people I work with. But they're both engineers. They're your roommates,
not my roommates, roommates of someone I work with.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Buddy and Doug are Yeah they got a roommate but
went to Hollywood Studios on a marathon weekend.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
No less, Oh yeah, those are crazy. It was Princess weekend, yes.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
HOLLYU was not that busy though. I think the longest
we waited was Tower of Terror, which was forty minutes,
but by the time we got off it had gone
down to twenty five.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
So really I think reasonable.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I think we waited maybe thirty minutes tops.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Did you make it over to Rise of the Resistance.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Walked past it. It was I think a fifty minute wait.
We're like, no, we like it was one of those
forty five was the cutoff?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
But got to do let's see Star Tours twice.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Okay, because then we get two different scenes.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Two different scenes. One was a prequel scene and one
was a most sequel trilogy scene. So the sequel trilogy
we got Mandalorian and Grogu. No, actually no, that was
in the first one. That was in the first one.
That was in the first one. We got po and
(05:55):
then Ray okay for that one. But we got Mandalorian
and Grogu for the first time, which was fun. I've
never gotten that before. And that one is very three
d okay because at one point Grogu is like eating
a frog and Mando's like spit it out, and he
spits it out. It's like floating in front of you
kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I don't think I saw that one either.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
I think that's news since i've been No, that's fairly
new that and then I know they have Ahsoka and Pergol.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, I'll just.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Ride that thing till I see it, then you should.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I mean it was only I think the longest we
saw the wait for.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
His twenty minutes. It's always a reasonable ride. Usually it's
it's it's a good one to get on.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Absolutely saw Mandalorian and Grogu walking around Galaxy's Edge. Had
never seen that before. That's cool in school because he's
literally walking around. It's not like he stops really for
pictures either, he's just walking.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
M Can you pet Grogu?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
No, you can't pet Grogu. No touching.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Can you give him frog?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
No he can were you were you gonna bring a
frog into the park. I don't think they let that happened.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I brought a scirrel in for Doug.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Well, I mean, you try it on your own, then
I'm pretty.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Sure Jickerman is lousy with chocolate frogs.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
From Ry Potter, this is a straight point.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Did Millennium Falcon mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Gunners, Oh, gunners, that's the worst seat on the ride.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
No, that's no engineer.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Oh, the engineers the worst. Okay, you're right. I apologize.
I apologize my mistake.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
All I will say is the pilots there was a
language barrier. I'm glad they had fun. You.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I feel like at that point you should be able
to get up and say, I need you to move
to the gunner position. Okay, I'm going to take over
the piloting of this ship.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Do you at least like reach up with your foot
and pull back the lever for hyper space?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
They never did. They never pulled. They never pulled the left.
And at one point, Hondo is like, you see the
white squares get into white squares? Can you get into
the white squares? Like even the computer is like trying
to build them. Yeah, exactly. But it was fun getting
a chance to do that. Hadn't done that in a while.
(08:17):
I still can't believe it. But it's like Slinky Dog
is always the longest wait at that park.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
It's a good ride, it's always fun.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
One seventy minutes.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah, you gotta hit that one at the end of
the night, five minutes four park close. Get in line
for that one. They will shove you through that thing
and they will push bodies through that ride.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
You know what I realized about Hollywood Series, It's the
best park for nighttime.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Mm hmm. I would agree with that because.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
The theming is so good all throughout the park when
it's at night.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Well they yeah, when they built that, you know, the
new parts of this park, they really considered those things.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
By the way, got a buffalo chicken buffalo.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yep, buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Ship from the commissaries best to best theme park food
that exists.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Best theme park food that exists at least fast a
quick service for sure. There's no really and nobody else
touches it.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I really want to try that sandwich with a side
of tomato soup. I feel like that'd be like a
smash it.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
It would be that would That's a very good call.
It has a really good like uh buffalo like a
sauce that you can dip it into, which is really good.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, that sauce is good.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
But yeah, it was just it was a good not
too hot, not too busy, which is a good good,
good hanging out vibes at a theme parks.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
This is prime theme park weather right here. I feel
shame that I have not been to a theme park
in quite some time, because this is the time to
be at the theme parks, because the crowds are less
and the weather is absolutely perfect. Those fools that come
in the summer do not know what they're missing.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well, it's the perfect time to go because you willed
into existence. The elimination of the virtual cues for Tiana's
by You Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy Colwan Cosmic Rewind.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
The theme park podcast strikes again. We've done it multiple times.
We are basically the Simpsons of podcasts at this point.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
And everyone assumed it would be chaos. When it comes
to wait times and day one for Guardians, it peaked
at seventy five minutes.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
That's reasonable considering it's the first time you can wait
on line for that.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
After that it hovered between forty five and sixty minutes.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
My question, my question is how much of the queue
is outside for the average of the day.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Ah that I don't know. I'm sure if it's a lot.
I know they have umbrellas up, so there is that,
but I'm sure if it ever becomes a problem, they
can just add covering to the outside of the building.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I feel like the indoor queue is like decently long.
I feel like that thing wrapped around pretty good in there.
It does, so I don't know, I want to get
out there at There.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Was a rumor that annual passes, we're going to be
delivered to your home. Is anything relieved on that rumor? Yeah?
Expand anything? Yeah, share anything.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Does the words and credita in past have anything to
do with will be delivered at your house?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Or pirate arg I'll take I'll take any any But
also speaking of just weekday, I might go weekday at
this point.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Speaking up that park though the flowering Garden is about
to begin.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
That's true. That is true. So a brand new one
festival lens another begins.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
And uh, I was looking, uh looking at the menu.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Okay, what are we what are we looking at?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
It's got some pretty good stuff. We got a spicy
hot dog with pineapple chutney.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Ah, that sounds good.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
You know what? You can also there an apple and
he said, I you.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Could also get a pineapple dull whip.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
It sounds like all Hawaiian flavors.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Well at that stand. But then there's chicken waffles at
the honey Bee strow in the World Showcase. Okay, I
got some fuddel cakes. I got a hot honey chicken sandwich.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
That sounds wonderful.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Fried cinnamon honey.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Don't like hot honey chicken.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I decided, okay, how about fried cinnamon rolls.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, I too like that. I very much like that.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I thought you thought. I thought you would like that.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Like your hot honey.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
He doesn't want the hot honey chicken because it has
some nutritional value. So, like those minerals out of here.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
In the road, you're not gonna like the grilled street
corn on the cob with a savory garlic spread.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I mean that that's probably good.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
That's probably good.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Mm hmm. You want a peana, It is one of
the cob. It's like meat on a bone. It's just
a lot of work. I prefer not to work so
hard for my food.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Oh my god, what is wrong with you? You were
a child.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
It's stuck in your teeth, and you did a theme park.
You got a clear around a corn cob. It's a
lot of work.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
You take it off the bone and you put it
in a dinosaur shape and then you give it to me.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Boom exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Ramen cup? You want a Ramen cup?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Absolutely not? Do you not like?
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Is there any soup that you'll eat?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I like tomato soup. I like chicken noodle soup.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I like So you like the basic stuff, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Basics, super basic soup, chocolate cheese at Panera.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
So why wouldn't you like ramen?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Oh, here we go, Here we go. I judge ramen
province poutine.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Okay, you got to say it in his language. It's
French fries.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
French fries with bree cheese, Okay, honey hazelnut croquette in
fresh lavender.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Lavender sounds odd, but I'll try it. And then that
last part sounds like an odd addition, but I'll try it.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
But you got to broaden your horizons one of these days. Okay,
what if what if we took you and blindfolded you
and just had you eat things?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Oh my god, you guys are eating gross stuff. I
know what you're I know you're trying to do.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
We would only feed you things that we would also
eat ourselves.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah, but I'll eat a hamburger that's covered in crickets ew.
They had it at Sea World. I wanted to try it.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
That's gross. You're over here eating vegetables all the time.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
No thanks, there's nothing wrong with vegetables.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Come from the dirt, and what's wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
They wash it off?
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Hey, you keep talking about those diabetes man, you better
use the left hand.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
You still have to eat some vegetables.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I'll lose my feet first. Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Keeping keeping in the with Disney. Uh, it's rumored that
work on Villain's Land is going to begin next month.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Here we go. That means shed a tear. How are
they gonna cover up? How are they gonna do construction
around Tom Sawyers Island? Are they gonna put up walls
around that?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Well, first of all, they have to remove the water.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
They're gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Well, from what I have gathered is every person that
goes to Magic Kingdom will be given a bucket.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
And you just collect your bucket and like Sorcerer Mickey
and Fantasia, you take the bucket and then you you
then dump it off into the Seven Seas Lagoon.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Okay, I would take it home. I'd be like I
got Tom Sawyer water.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, Disney water. That's good stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Remember when people were selling water from Splash Mountain on eBay.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Yeah, people will do anything. People are crazy. Disney people
are crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
So that's room to the beginning. Over at Universal, Jimmy
will like this news we're getting some second generation of wands.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Well, this is actually gonna be like I think the
third generation technically, But what does what does these this
new generation.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Do the magic?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
They will have several new features, like illumination effects in
haptic vibrations custom to each spell, so you can see
and feel the results of your spell castings in an
entirely new way. Each wand will include a spell map
that outlines locations where you can practice magic, and it'll
(16:44):
tie into your Universal app.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Okay, I had a difficult time getting those that dang
magic wand to work at the special spots. It's probably
because I don't know how to do magic. Well.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Part of it is is the very type of the
wand has some glass on it, and it needs that
glass to be clean and unscratched to be able to
interact with the environment around you.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah, I'd been playing Baltimore with mindes. It's probably scratched
the bits.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
So what you do is you take it to the
one of the gift shops and be like, hey, can
you take a look at my wand? And what they
do is they usually just take it in the back,
switch it out for the same wand give you a
new wand, and then your old wand will get repaired
with like a new optic on the front and Harry
go back into that.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Yeah, it'll go back into that rotation. To be.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Interesting, I had this idea there's somebody at Universal whose
job is to fix those wands.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
It's a good gig. It's a good gig if you
if you like don't like hanging out with people, you
just want to work with stuff a bad one.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
You want to be an Olivander and you know what.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
To be honest, I don't know if that's one hundred
percent accurate because I don't remember exactly where I heard
that from.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
With the wand thing, Like, I know, I mixed up
up too, so it's okay, no, But I know.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
They definitely switch it out because I had bought a
pair for my friend's kids and the two of them
they were just, you know, like eight year old boys,
so they were just like you know, laying Baltimore. Yeah, yeah,
I'm like having sword fights with them and like you know,
drag them across the wall as we walk through a
queue of a line or something I cann't do well.
And then that's when you find out that they don't
(18:23):
work if you scratch the tip.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
So I gotta tell you the pictures of it. Though
it like it looks like a lot of fun, like.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
The well, now it's responsive, it'll be it definitely will
be more fun.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
So I think PlayStation controller at this point, I think
we should all get some and duel.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Can you get a rumble pack for your version two?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yeah, it's just a repurposed N sixty four one.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Still a great controller, still a great controller.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Still the oddest controller that has ever been created. Though
this is true, it's for somebody with three hands.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I have it N sixty four, and I guarantee I'll
plug that thing in and it'll still work.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
I have one too, and I have at least three
rumble packs. I tried for some vibration and video games
and when you played uh, when you would play GoldenEye,
you'd use like the sniper rifle and to feel the
trigger when you pull it.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
They would actually give you that little.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Oh, yeah, I tried because I have a switch and
I've bought the the Nintendo Plan where you can like
get like the virtual console stuff. Yeah, and I have
tried playing like Golden Like no, I tried playing GoldenEye
on the Xbox. It was on game Pass. Okay, it's
just it's not the same. It's not the I you
(19:46):
need that different time, that funky controller.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yeah, it was a different time too. Back then. Everything
feels different.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Uh do you do we want some Dickerman news. By
the way, the new ones will begin on March first.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Oh, and that's the same day that that team member
previews begin on on Epic Universe, right, correct, Yeah, so
they're they're it's it's it's like fully like they're gonna
do everything right.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
By the way, the the hotels are all available like
very soon after the grand opening of the.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Park, m hm, saying we should book a room. Is
this is this a situation like we were gonna go
camping like ten of us for magic bands.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I'm not packing ten people into a room that has
like one bed.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Why not? Come on, where's your spirit of adventure?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Dickerman? You see how this is laid out on the
screen right here? This is the sleeping.
Speaker 3 (20:43):

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Which Jimmy loves crapes. That's right up his alley.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Oh yes, crape is my favorite.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I have said this though. We talked for those shore though. Popcorn.

Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
I can't give you everything at once.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I have.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
I have one question though, because we got like a
couple like a two minutes ago. So they're making a
Harry Potter TV show.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Yes they are.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
John letgow is double door.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Well he's he has said that he's going to be
double door for him, like he has said that himself.
Nobody else has said that. He has said it.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
He's willing it into the universe and somebody's doing Yeah,
good for him.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
It's gonna be kind of weird that it. Basically those
movies are those shows are gonna have to reuse all
the same sets as the movies. Because the theme park
exists based on the movies and the TV show is
basically to help promote the land. It's just it's it's
it's it's a little weird in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Well, I mean, you know, it continues the lore Hogwarts
has been there forever, so it's bound to look the same.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
But we're retelling. We're just read telling the same story
that we just told over eight movies.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
It's true, they're gonna that's what they're doing. That's the plan.
They're just redoing it.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Each season is a new is it? One season is
one book?
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Okay? Well, I'm I look forward to the Girdles, Theles
they were called Theysursley's.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
There's the Muggles that that uh you know taken Harry, Yes.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
I love the Dursleys. You are No, I'm not. Those
people are mean to Harry. If you watch some movies,
you'd know.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Jimmy, Yeah, James, now is the time to get in
on this.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yeah, watch the movies before the show comes out. Yep.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
And last Jen Ligaw is killing three people every few years.

Whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
No, it's happy. I can go out in public these

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yes, it's cleared for inter human interactions.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I'm still limited on the things I can do. But yes,
I can leave my house.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I heard you went to a theme park.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I did. I did go to a theme park.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
And you go to Ebcot to wait in line to
ride Guardians of the Galaxy.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
No, because the virtual cue hadn't been lifted yet when
I went.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Okay, so where did you go?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
What did your surgeon require you to wear a burlap
sack with one hole cut in it?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
No? I did not dress like the I would did not.
I was not the elephant man when I went to
Disney's Hollywood studios. But I wore a hat. I wore
a hat. I wore a hood like. My hoodie was
up almost at all times. I put a band aid
over my scar and sunglasses.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
So you have done the half faced Phantom of the
opera situation and just put it on the scar side.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I could.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yeah, Okay, that had been cool.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
I wonder how Disney had, like, what's would they let
you wear something? Because the rule is you're not led
to wear a mask, but if you had some kind of.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Like medical reasons, like a mask lady reason, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Like the lady and nope, when she got her face
ripped off by the monkey and she always had to
wear the veil, I.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Would, I mean, if anything that was Honestly, I probably
could have just like worn like a mask, like a
surgical mask because of where like my scar is. I
could easily hip done that. Or I could just wear
or you know what, I could just buy a Kylo
ren mask and wear that.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
You can't wear that in the park.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
They sell it in the park. What do you mean
I can't wear that?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I know, I know if you buy it there you
can see him wear it. It's only if you buy
it there you can't wear it into the park. But
once you buy it you can wear it.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I'm pretty sure they're gonna make you take it off.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Although I could probably wear like a rebel pilot helmet
because it kind of goes in a little bit.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Yes, so I could.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I could do that.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Scott had a surgery and he had stitches, so he
had to cover his face from the sun. That's this
is why we're discussing masks.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I still have. I still have to. By the way,
uh pup up up up up pro tip where sunscreen.
People always remember to wear sunscreen.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Don't get melanoma.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Okay, we're going to tell the truth. Scott was in
a bar fight with a shark.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Tell us about Hollywood Studios.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Hollywood Studios. Hollywood Studios is a park at which is
part of the Walt Disney World resort. They one of
the four parks that they have features such places as
Star Wars, Galaxy's Edge, Toy story Land. No, it was, and.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Isn't it connected to this amazing hotel that they have
right there, the Galactic star Cruiser. That's that's like their
big new thing, right.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
No, it's an all that's office buildings we're talking about.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Yeah, that's an imagine your building.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah, I mean there is a hotel on property. It's
the Hollywood Tower. Mm hm oh no, we.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Are too Disney engineers. I wonder if they're going to
work there.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
You claim to know all of these theme park engineers,
and you're like, I'll talk to them all, get them
on the show, or I'll learn some stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I don't technically know them. Their roommates or boyfriends of
people I work with. But they're both engineers. They're your roommates,
not my roommates, roommates of someone I work with.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Buddy and Doug are Yeah they got a roommate but
went to Hollywood Studios on a marathon weekend.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
No less, Oh yeah, those are crazy. It was Princess weekend, yes.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
HOLLYU was not that busy though. I think the longest
we waited was Tower of Terror, which was forty minutes,
but by the time we got off it had gone
down to twenty five.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
So really I think reasonable.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I think we waited maybe thirty minutes tops.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Did you make it over to Rise of the Resistance.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Walked past it. It was I think a fifty minute wait.
We're like, no, we like it was one of those
forty five was the cutoff?
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
But got to do let's see Star Tours twice.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Okay, because then we get two different scenes.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Two different scenes. One was a prequel scene and one
was a most sequel trilogy scene. So the sequel trilogy
we got Mandalorian and Grogu. No, actually no, that was
in the first one. That was in the first one.
That was in the first one. We got po and
(05:55):
then Ray okay for that one. But we got Mandalorian
and Grogu for the first time, which was fun. I've
never gotten that before. And that one is very three
d okay because at one point Grogu is like eating
a frog and Mando's like spit it out, and he
spits it out. It's like floating in front of you
kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I don't think I saw that one either.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
I think that's news since i've been No, that's fairly
new that and then I know they have Ahsoka and Pergol.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, I'll just.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Ride that thing till I see it, then you should.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I mean it was only I think the longest we
saw the wait for.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
His twenty minutes. It's always a reasonable ride. Usually it's
it's it's a good one to get on.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Absolutely saw Mandalorian and Grogu walking around Galaxy's Edge. Had
never seen that before. That's cool in school because he's
literally walking around. It's not like he stops really for
pictures either, he's just walking.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
M Can you pet Grogu?
Speaker 2 (06:51):
No, you can't pet Grogu. No touching.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Can you give him frog?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
No he can were you were you gonna bring a
frog into the park. I don't think they let that happened.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I brought a scirrel in for Doug.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Well, I mean, you try it on your own, then
I'm pretty.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Sure Jickerman is lousy with chocolate frogs.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
From Ry Potter, this is a straight point.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Did Millennium Falcon mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Gunners, Oh, gunners, that's the worst seat on the ride.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
No, that's no engineer.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Oh, the engineers the worst. Okay, you're right. I apologize.
I apologize my mistake.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
All I will say is the pilots there was a
language barrier. I'm glad they had fun. You.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I feel like at that point you should be able
to get up and say, I need you to move
to the gunner position. Okay, I'm going to take over
the piloting of this ship.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Do you at least like reach up with your foot
and pull back the lever for hyper space?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
They never did. They never pulled. They never pulled the left.
And at one point, Hondo is like, you see the
white squares get into white squares? Can you get into
the white squares? Like even the computer is like trying
to build them. Yeah, exactly. But it was fun getting
a chance to do that. Hadn't done that in a while.
(08:17):
I still can't believe it. But it's like Slinky Dog
is always the longest wait at that park.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
It's a good ride, it's always fun.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
One seventy minutes.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah, you gotta hit that one at the end of
the night, five minutes four park close. Get in line
for that one. They will shove you through that thing
and they will push bodies through that ride.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
You know what I realized about Hollywood Series, It's the
best park for nighttime.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Mm hmm. I would agree with that because.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
The theming is so good all throughout the park when
it's at night.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
Well they yeah, when they built that, you know, the
new parts of this park, they really considered those things.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
By the way, got a buffalo chicken buffalo.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Yep, buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Ship from the commissaries best to best theme park food
that exists.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Best theme park food that exists at least fast a
quick service for sure. There's no really and nobody else
touches it.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I really want to try that sandwich with a side
of tomato soup. I feel like that'd be like a
smash it.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
It would be that would That's a very good call.
It has a really good like uh buffalo like a
sauce that you can dip it into, which is really good.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yeah, that sauce is good.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
But yeah, it was just it was a good not
too hot, not too busy, which is a good good,
good hanging out vibes at a theme parks.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
This is prime theme park weather right here. I feel
shame that I have not been to a theme park
in quite some time, because this is the time to
be at the theme parks, because the crowds are less
and the weather is absolutely perfect. Those fools that come
in the summer do not know what they're missing.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well, it's the perfect time to go because you willed
into existence. The elimination of the virtual cues for Tiana's
by You Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy Colwan Cosmic Rewind.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
The theme park podcast strikes again. We've done it multiple times.
We are basically the Simpsons of podcasts at this point.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
And everyone assumed it would be chaos. When it comes
to wait times and day one for Guardians, it peaked
at seventy five minutes.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
That's reasonable considering it's the first time you can wait
on line for that.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
After that it hovered between forty five and sixty minutes.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
My question, my question is how much of the queue
is outside for the average of the day.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Ah that I don't know. I'm sure if it's a lot.
I know they have umbrellas up, so there is that,
but I'm sure if it ever becomes a problem, they
can just add covering to the outside of the building.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I feel like the indoor queue is like decently long.
I feel like that thing wrapped around pretty good in there.
It does, so I don't know, I want to get
out there at There.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Was a rumor that annual passes, we're going to be
delivered to your home. Is anything relieved on that rumor? Yeah?
Expand anything? Yeah, share anything.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Does the words and credita in past have anything to
do with will be delivered at your house?
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Or pirate arg I'll take I'll take any any But
also speaking of just weekday, I might go weekday at
this point.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Speaking up that park though the flowering Garden is about
to begin.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
That's true. That is true. So a brand new one
festival lens another begins.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
And uh, I was looking, uh looking at the menu.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Okay, what are we what are we looking at?
Speaker 2 (11:52):
It's got some pretty good stuff. We got a spicy
hot dog with pineapple chutney.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Ah, that sounds good.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
You know what? You can also there an apple and
he said, I you.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Could also get a pineapple dull whip.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
It sounds like all Hawaiian flavors.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Well at that stand. But then there's chicken waffles at
the honey Bee strow in the World Showcase. Okay, I
got some fuddel cakes. I got a hot honey chicken sandwich.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
That sounds wonderful.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Fried cinnamon honey.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Don't like hot honey chicken.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I decided, okay, how about fried cinnamon rolls.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, I too like that. I very much like that.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I thought you thought. I thought you would like that.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Like your hot honey.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
He doesn't want the hot honey chicken because it has
some nutritional value. So, like those minerals out of here.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
In the road, you're not gonna like the grilled street
corn on the cob with a savory garlic spread.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I mean that that's probably good.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
That's probably good.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Mm hmm. You want a peana, It is one of
the cob. It's like meat on a bone. It's just
a lot of work. I prefer not to work so
hard for my food.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Oh my god, what is wrong with you? You were
a child.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
It's stuck in your teeth, and you did a theme park.
You got a clear around a corn cob. It's a
lot of work.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
You take it off the bone and you put it
in a dinosaur shape and then you give it to me.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Boom exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Ramen cup? You want a Ramen cup?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Absolutely not? Do you not like?
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Is there any soup that you'll eat?
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I like tomato soup. I like chicken noodle soup.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I like So you like the basic stuff, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Basics, super basic soup, chocolate cheese at Panera.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
So why wouldn't you like ramen?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Oh, here we go, Here we go. I judge ramen
province poutine.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Okay, you got to say it in his language. It's
French fries.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
French fries with bree cheese, Okay, honey hazelnut croquette in
fresh lavender.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Lavender sounds odd, but I'll try it. And then that
last part sounds like an odd addition, but I'll try it.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
But you got to broaden your horizons one of these days. Okay,
what if what if we took you and blindfolded you
and just had you eat things?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Oh my god, you guys are eating gross stuff. I
know what you're I know you're trying to do.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
We would only feed you things that we would also
eat ourselves.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Yeah, but I'll eat a hamburger that's covered in crickets ew.
They had it at Sea World. I wanted to try it.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
That's gross. You're over here eating vegetables all the time.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
No thanks, there's nothing wrong with vegetables.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Come from the dirt, and what's wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
They wash it off?
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Hey, you keep talking about those diabetes man, you better
use the left hand.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
You still have to eat some vegetables.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I'll lose my feet first. Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Keeping keeping in the with Disney. Uh, it's rumored that
work on Villain's Land is going to begin next month.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Here we go. That means shed a tear. How are
they gonna cover up? How are they gonna do construction
around Tom Sawyers Island? Are they gonna put up walls
around that?
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Well, first of all, they have to remove the water.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
They're gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Well, from what I have gathered is every person that
goes to Magic Kingdom will be given a bucket.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
And you just collect your bucket and like Sorcerer Mickey
and Fantasia, you take the bucket and then you you
then dump it off into the Seven Seas Lagoon.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Okay, I would take it home. I'd be like I
got Tom Sawyer water.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, Disney water. That's good stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Remember when people were selling water from Splash Mountain on eBay.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Yeah, people will do anything. People are crazy. Disney people
are crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
So that's room to the beginning. Over at Universal, Jimmy
will like this news we're getting some second generation of wands.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Well, this is actually gonna be like I think the
third generation technically, But what does what does these this
new generation.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Do the magic?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
They will have several new features, like illumination effects in
haptic vibrations custom to each spell, so you can see
and feel the results of your spell castings in an
entirely new way. Each wand will include a spell map
that outlines locations where you can practice magic, and it'll
(16:44):
tie into your Universal app.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Okay, I had a difficult time getting those that dang
magic wand to work at the special spots. It's probably
because I don't know how to do magic. Well.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Part of it is is the very type of the
wand has some glass on it, and it needs that
glass to be clean and unscratched to be able to
interact with the environment around you.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yeah, I'd been playing Baltimore with mindes. It's probably scratched
the bits.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
So what you do is you take it to the
one of the gift shops and be like, hey, can
you take a look at my wand? And what they
do is they usually just take it in the back,
switch it out for the same wand give you a
new wand, and then your old wand will get repaired
with like a new optic on the front and Harry
go back into that.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Yeah, it'll go back into that rotation. To be.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
Interesting, I had this idea there's somebody at Universal whose
job is to fix those wands.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
It's a good gig. It's a good gig if you
if you like don't like hanging out with people, you
just want to work with stuff a bad one.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
You want to be an Olivander and you know what.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
To be honest, I don't know if that's one hundred
percent accurate because I don't remember exactly where I heard
that from.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
With the wand thing, Like, I know, I mixed up
up too, so it's okay, no, But I know.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
They definitely switch it out because I had bought a
pair for my friend's kids and the two of them
they were just, you know, like eight year old boys,
so they were just like you know, laying Baltimore. Yeah, yeah,
I'm like having sword fights with them and like you know,
drag them across the wall as we walk through a
queue of a line or something I cann't do well.
And then that's when you find out that they don't
(18:23):
work if you scratch the tip.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
So I gotta tell you the pictures of it. Though
it like it looks like a lot of fun, like.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
The well, now it's responsive, it'll be it definitely will
be more fun.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
So I think PlayStation controller at this point, I think
we should all get some and duel.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Can you get a rumble pack for your version two?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yeah, it's just a repurposed N sixty four one.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Still a great controller, still a great controller.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Still the oddest controller that has ever been created. Though
this is true, it's for somebody with three hands.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I have it N sixty four, and I guarantee I'll
plug that thing in and it'll still work.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
I have one too, and I have at least three
rumble packs. I tried for some vibration and video games
and when you played uh, when you would play GoldenEye,
you'd use like the sniper rifle and to feel the
trigger when you pull it.
Speaker 4 (19:23):
They would actually give you that little.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Oh, yeah, I tried because I have a switch and
I've bought the the Nintendo Plan where you can like
get like the virtual console stuff. Yeah, and I have
tried playing like Golden Like no, I tried playing GoldenEye
on the Xbox. It was on game Pass. Okay, it's
just it's not the same. It's not the I you
(19:46):
need that different time, that funky controller.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Yeah, it was a different time too. Back then. Everything
feels different.
Speaker 2 (19:54):

I have one question though, because we got like a
couple like a two minutes ago. So they're making a
Harry Potter TV show.

Yes they are.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
John letgow is double door.

double door for him, like he has said that himself.
Nobody else has said that. He has said it.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
He's willing it into the universe and somebody's doing Yeah,
good for him.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
It's gonna be kind of weird that it. Basically those
movies are those shows are gonna have to reuse all
the same sets as the movies. Because the theme park
exists based on the movies and the TV show is
basically to help promote the land. It's just it's it's
it's it's a little weird in my opinion.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Well, I mean, you know, it continues the lore Hogwarts
has been there forever, so it's bound to look the same.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
But we're retelling. We're just read telling the same story
that we just told over eight movies.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
It's true, they're gonna that's what they're doing. That's the plan.
They're just redoing it.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Each season is a new is it? One season is
one book?
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Okay? Well, I'm I look forward to the Girdles, Theles
they were called Theysursley's.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
There's the Muggles that that uh you know taken Harry, Yes.
