Is there already Halloween stuff out? Spooky Season starts apparently
July fifth. When's our first Spirit Spirit Halloween store open? Though?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I have a feeling they're scouting locations right now. Or
if you've seen the trailer for the New Naked Gun movie,
they make a Spirit Halloween.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Joke, and do they? I am for some reason, I
don't know why. I looking forward to seeing that.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Oh me too. It's like the comedy movie I'm most
looking forward to this year.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's gonna be stupid. We know it,
but for some reason I still want to see it.
Speaker 2 (01:13):

Yeah for sure. Yeah, Spirit Halloween coming soon, all other
Halloween things coming soon. We do have Halloween hornight's news.
We'll get to on the show tonight. But Scott, you
went out to a theme park this week? Right?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I did my yearly pilgrimage, as I always do, to
Universal Studios on July fourth.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Dead of summer. Probably what is in the past, not always,
but in the past been one of the busiest theme
park days of the year. What was your experience?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So got there around eleven thirty. I think because it's
like a holiday, i'mless sleep in. It was a little busy.
I think they were now parking people on the roof. Okay,
so like that's how good. That's it. That's usually a
good gauge of how busy it is.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Every time I go and parked on the roof. So okay, sure.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Got into the park and I have a game plan
on the on July fourth, I go in, uh, I
go get a picture with Bruce the Shark. And right
now it's the fiftieth anniversary of Jaws. They have a
whole bunch of like food stands. We've talked about this.
There's like sea there's a seafood stand. There's like a
funnel cake stand, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
But at one of these stands they're selling nar Aganston,
which is the beer that Quin drinks in the Jaws.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Movies, like the old seventies can of.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Course, that is the only way to actually buy near
against Like if you go to Total Wine, which I
did after I left the park, that's how you get it.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
And does it have the pop top or the one
you fully pull off and throw the.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It's it's it's a pop top, so it's it's a
little it's a little modernized, but I gotta do.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
The old one where you pull it the whole thing off.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well, those are a little bit bad for the environment.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Well, and you're like the only person that remembers that. Yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Like nineteen eighty four. Ye those went away.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Now beer was back in the day, so they have that, Scott.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Do you remember in the grocery stores when you were
a kid, the soda bottles that were coming in glass
or they always plastic two leaders.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
The only drink I remember in glass bottles was you
who in gatorade?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Oh, that's good. Gaora, oh, gatorade in the glass. That's
an old that's a throwback. Actually right there you can
still find glass bottles of soda. I think it's kind
of hip now to have glass.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Well, like you can get like a full sugar Mexican
coke in a glass bottle, or like sheer wine stuff
like that, but like you know, just a regular you know,
twelve sixteen ounce can't or bottle.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, you don't see those. No more thes like machines
Like this is before all of our time. So they
had machines where they just spit out a glass bottle.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Did you like give it money or did you just
do this like a maximum overdrive.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You gotta put money. It was like fifty cents probably
and you got a full on glass bottle of coke.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
No, no, no, No. Sodas from vending machines are not fifty cents.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
They're like back then, they're probably three dollars. Sure, who
knows they are about.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yes, But but right across from Bruce we've talked about
this is a mockup of the Amity skipper boat tour. Yes,
from the ride Rip the Jaws ride right, Yes, And
so it's just it's a good little atmosphere area. And like,
if you go in the candy shop, they're playing w Jaw,
(04:40):
which was what they played in the queue for the ride.
You know at some point you'll hear them talk about
Chief Brody. It's just it's so much fun, it's so nostalgic.
I love it. I wish I wish that would stay.
I don't. I mean, I can't imagine it will once
summer's Overbuddy would love for it to stay. I would
love for them to figure out a way to like
reintegrate Jaws into into the park, but I mean there
(05:04):
isn't really space to do that. But I mean the
Mega Movie Parade has like a giant float that is
Jaws with like Quint and Brody, so it is still
well represented in there.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Way they could put a bruise the Shark in the
lagoon and just like have them swim around.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I mean, I would love that, But if you watch
the documentary for the Shark is is still working. There's
a lot of issues with having those kind of thing.
Granted it's not salt water that they have in the lagoon,
which was such a problem that.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Lagoon them swim around on a track that Lagoon's got
like six inches of soot from all the fireworks have
gone off.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And now they have a whole bunch of sprayers because they,
you know, have done like lagoon shows.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Right, yeah, right? Is that was that area? Will attended
the Shark area? Did you find it to be less credible?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
It's a come and go area, like a lot of
people will come get a drink. You know, you can
go over to see Alcatraz, get an Oceana Jack a drink.
Jimmy and I are very familiar with. It's a drink
and a show.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
It is, yep.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But you can get a souvenir glass, which which I
have now. It's the only thing that I drink anything
out of.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I say, nineteen seventy five and it's got Jaws on it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
What was nineteen seventy five?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Like, I don't know what do you mean? You no, no,
before my time?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
But yeah, not much, yeah, not much much.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah, well that's fine, it's fine, but not enough. Fine,
but it was.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I'm pretty sure Jaws was still in theaters when you.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
That'd be a heck of a long run, man, I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
It was like the first blockbuster, So.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Possibly movies in theaters for like a year back then.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
This is true. There wasn't There was not as many.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, because only like two came out of a year.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, was Jaws two out when you were Oh yeah,
I'm sure that was seventy eight.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, So you know, it's it's it's a weird little
area because it's, you know, right next to the Fast
and Furious Ride's right before you know, Harry potter Land begins.
So it's it's very it's it's very chill. It's like
it's I love it. I love that little area. It's
not very well shaded, so there's a problems that kind
of prohibits a lot of people lingering around there.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Let me ask you this, Could they just flood the
Fast and the Furious ride and change out the stupid
mini helicopter and turn it into a shark and just
make it a Jaws event? No?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
No, do you not remember the Earthquake ride where they
did have water, but it was not a permanent thing.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Mm?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Vaguely, vaguely, And it's.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Very hard to do indoor water rides in a humid
climate Lake Florida.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Mm. Well, I mean pirates, right, that's true.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You there are there is ways to it.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
The ducks, the three Cabby Arrows. Yeah, he's got a
good air conditioning. I think some good ac also.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
You need a good big footprint to be able to
do that.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, probably so I could see that lots of water,
not a small amount.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And then after that we went over did minim black
because I think it was a fifteen minute.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Wait. How is the air conditioning? I always like to
hear perfect, perfect they have there? What is that air
conditioning system? I need that for my hound.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I just I feel like it's set to like fifty Yeah,
well legitimately.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Hey, it's just a stone cold killer. It never stops.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Nope, not at all. And then went over to Schwabs
Pharmacy to get the Back to the Future ice cream
or the milkshake. Well, it's very good. I want to
get it again. So why not on a hot day.
Who wouldn't want to get a milkshake?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, Fritzy loved that ice cream joint there, that Schwabs.
He was always there every time we go. We had
to go to Schwabs.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Popped over to the Horror Makeup Show just to hang
out in the lobby because they have so many cool exhibits.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Bits.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, the next show wasn't for like an hour and
a half. It had just it had just started.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I think they do have great exhibits there. That's a
fun show, Like you could see that show multiple times.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Well, and sometimes you could be a part of it.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Did I just hear Dickerman say he likes a show?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I know, I'm a little only one.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Because there's is it because like somebody gets their arm
uled off? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I mean it's fun, it's funny, it's short. I never
did see the Born Supremacy show or whatever that was,
so Born Legacy.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
The Born Stunt Tacular.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Is that still on? Is that still a thing? Yeah?
I haven't seen that.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Still I I have done it. I've done it one time.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
M hm, that's enough.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I've done it. I've done it one time.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
That's all I got to say about that.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
But I think it's for show, for stage shows. It's
really interesting. It's got some really cool effects.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
But after that, because it's July fourth, what do you want?
On July fourth, hot Dog hot Dog hot Dog popped
over to the hot Dog Hall of Fame at the
City Walk.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I didn't even know this was a thing.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's over for years. Yeah, it's been there for years.
It's over by. It used to be the Groove, but
now it's where the escape rooms are.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Oh. I never go to that section of CityWalk. That's why,
except for when I would work gigs at Pat O'Brien's.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, so it's right over there, and I had never
been there before. But I'm like hot dogs, Like, let's

That's weird, that's weird. It sounds good. Yeah, who's got

anybody probably got onions in it.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
They might have onions. Okay, Detroit dog has a chili
on it.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Chili, I guess, I guess I'm a Detroit guy. I'm
just say no onions. Hold the onions.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
How about the Washington Dog buffalo sauce, cole sau blue cheese, celery, salt.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
How about okay, how about last one? How about the
Seattle Dog? Oh, smoked onions, spread, sauer kraut, jalapenos, serracha,
hot chili sauce, and a layer of potato sticks.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I like that potato sticks part. That sounds good.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Can you read me the Chicago Dog? Because I've eaten
like six.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Of them in the last and you don't actually know
what you've been eating.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Now, I know exactly what I've been eating. I know
exactly what's on a real Chicago do so I'm just
curious if they meet the.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Standard all beef hot dog poppy seed, bun, yellow mustard, neon, relish,
sport peppers, pickle spear, diced onions, tomato, celery salt.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
That's correct.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Wow, although, uh, the hot dog and the bun have
to be steamed and it's supposed to be a Vienna
beef hot dog.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Uh. I didn't say it, but they was.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
That, Oh there you go. What's this two foot long dog?
What's going on there? They got a picture of that thing.
Uh on a baguette?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
It is on a baguette.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, because a hot dog bun is not gonna do
anything for you.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Old beef hot dog on a baguette, and with the
choice of chew toppings.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
All right, yeah, chili and cheese done. I'm in, Well
you get mustard on your chili dog or no, no mustard.
I'm like that. I'm like that guy on a jackass
who hates the mustard and then they put it all
over his car.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Mustard's delicious, man, all forms of mustard.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Good.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, it was a good I was only at the
park for the I think we're there for like four hours.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
It's great.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Left before the before the crowds came.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
What happens if you eat that full two foot Chili Dog.
Then you go ride rides. There's gonna be a protein spill.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Did you ever see the movie The Sandlot where the
kids try chewing tobacco.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I only saw the first part of Sandlots. I missed
that part. I guess how have you? I know? I
know I told I told my wife and said, hey,
we've never seen this week I watch can't with you today?
I just can't. I haven't seen The Sandlot. I'm sorry.
It's not my fault.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I mean, it's completely your fault. And you have the
ability to watch it. Yeah, I guess it's on Disney.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Plus you be alone to throw the brakes on this podcast.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
All right, all right, let me let me get things
back on track. We talked about Halloween. Yes, big Halloween news.
It's spooky season. Frequently it is.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
It is July. By the way, this is not an
old podcast, this is not a best of. We're in
the midst of July right now.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Frequent Fear passes are on sale.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
They're already sold out yesterday in it now they're already
sold out.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Well that's for the frequent the frequent Fear like for
the whole thing with Express sold out.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
What were those going for I'm genuinely curious. Do we
have any idea it's over a thousand bucks, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Twelve hundred?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Oh good?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
That is for the ultimate one, which allows you to
go to every single night.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I mean, hey, if you've got that sort of expendable
income or that's your big splurtch for the year, good
for you. But boy, that is a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
The Frequent Fear as a standard is two is three
hundred dollars, which is forty nights.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Okay, that's not bad.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
If you want to add Express to that.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
It don't because Express is so expensive.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
It bumps it up to nine and fifty dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Geez, that Express is more than the tickets themselves.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yep, Dickerman, let me ask you something. I spend fourteen
hundred dollars a year on my season tickets for Gators,
and that's only seven home games.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
So for ninety dollars, would you say, nine hundred dollars
you get Express and the freaking Fear.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Pass all twenty seven nights or whatever? I thought? He
said forty forty or is that?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
That was a twelve hundred dollars on the forty yeah nights?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Is the regular frequent fear.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
And then any of these include parking, is parking including
any of these or no. No, So that's an extra
thirty bucks a night. You're you're spitting out too.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That's why you gotta be friends with a pass holder, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Or just get passes. I mean, at that point it
might make more sense to buy a pass absolutely cover
your parking fees at least one.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Pass, but that's on sale.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
That's a lot. So so the one with the express
is sold out, the twelve hundred dollars one is sold out,
or how many of those there were.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I mean, they're gonna stagger things. They're gonna stagger the
release of things. So but we have always said this,
if you have the means to do it, and you're
only going one night.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Do an rap tour.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Well, I was gonna say, just get Express, but yes,
if you if you really can do an rap tour.
But if you can't do that, but you can splurge
a little bit expressed at.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
The price of Express, I'm just gonna say, I think
it might be really close to our if you've got
enough people in your party.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Press is so expensive.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Now, if you have a large group, then yes, But
if you're like one in like if you're just like
a pair, like a foursome, like it depends on my
it depends. But Jimmy, like when we when there were
four of us, when we went, we were able to
do every single thing before midnight. And we were going
casually that night, and this was the first Friday in October.
(17:29):
We stopped at one went two different points to get
food for like thirty minutes each time. Like we never
felt rushed at all that night. It's nice, and we
got a great picture with Dickerman.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Yeah, I was there.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
You were there, Okay, it's true. You look a little
different in that picture though.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah. I mean I could see, like I could even
see people going on I'm sure they have like Facebook
groups for Halloween our nights. I see people at seawear
all the time. Hey, anybody want to meet up? I'm like,
you're a meeting strangers, You're weird. But I could see
people meeting up with strangers and all getting in together
to uh, to have a rip tour.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I mean, it's it's it's like when you go to
a convention and they have meetups there. You're meeting people
of common interests.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I'm not I'm not comfortable meeting people.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Well, you're not comfortable.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
With a lot of things. You're not comfortable with mustard.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, it makes me very uncomfortable to meet people.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
You're not comfortable with. Soon you're you don't like fish?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
No, No, I'm gonna trick him into eating mustard.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, I'm I'm I'm on board with this as wells.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I just don't care for it.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
We also got some other horrnite news.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Okay, what does that have to do with us tricking
you to get eat mustard?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
There's a there's a certain clown that is uh coming
to hornites.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
It is it? It? No? Jack, Nope?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Art the clown is that thing you like from the
Terrifier movies.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
I tried that first one. It looked like it was
shot on like one of those nineteen nineties cam quarters
which just fit the full sized VHS tape in it.
I just gave up. I couldn't do it. Well.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Watch two and three and the production values go up
a lot more.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
They got a camera. They got an actual camera this time. Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
The third one costs I think like two three million
dollars crowdfunded.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Okay, crowdfunded.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
All right, if you've seen these movies, sorry, I'm gonna read.
I'm gonna read a quote from Damian Leone, the creator
of the Terrifier franchise. Uh Terrifiers coming to Hallween Hornites.
We are thrilled, honored, and relieved to finally share this
exciting news. This is set to be the bloodiest house yet,
and the team at Halloween Hornites truly knocked this attraction
(19:34):
out of the park. You will get some of art
the Clown's greatest hits and then some.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Okay, bloodiest house yet. That's a bold statement.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Well, if you've watched the movies in these are some
of the most dranged and depraved kills I have ever
seen in a movie.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
That's why Scott likes it.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
They sit with you.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
It's terrifying, That's why it's called Terrifier.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
But he is a clown that does not speak, he
does not make noise, but he has a horn. They
honks around all the time.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I guess I need to see you.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Should you you really? I I honestly think you will
like to really yeah, start with well yeah start, I
mean you should really start with one. But you you
won't go back to one.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I'm too snooty, but yeah, go go go go to two.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Two's really good.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I'm not here to watch a student film.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Uh elsewhere this past week and we said our final
farewells to the rivers of America. Tom Sawyer Island the
Liberty Bell.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
This crushes me like you guys were crushed by the Muppets.
This is this is doating. What was it like?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Somebody got a picture of what the leveled space where
the Muppets theater used to be.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
And it's hard working.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
It is kind of sad seeing that it's Tom Sawyer. Well,
how was the final day?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I didn't go? And why not? I don't have passes.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You're you're one of these people that's all sad that
it's going.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Oh you weren't even there. I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
But there's a door now.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
They did put a door in and yeah, I said,
I didn't even think about it. I'm like those monsters,
but it actually is the monsters.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah I made that joke because the second the door,
but the monsters inc Yeah, yeah, it was like they
should have just owned it and put like Sully on
them or.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Put like the little thing at the top of the
door that lights up.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's definitely it's definitely the not
the Monsters inc Though, for sure.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
But let's talk about the biggest thing. We now have
all the details for Mickey's Very Merry Chrismas Party.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Oh I thought the lie. I thought it was going
to be the balloon. Did you know they have balloon
daycare at Animal Kingdom. Yes, Like if you if you
park op to Animal Kingdom and you bought one of
those like balloons within a balloon like at like Magic Kingdom,
they have a check in for you for your balloon.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
They don't want you to bring them.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Yeah. Oh that's brilliant. Those things are like twenty bucks too.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Well yeah, and then when it's over and you leave,
you get a report card on how your balloon did
in daycare.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I like that. Like it.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
It's funny, but Mickey's not. So. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas
Party November seventh through December twenty first tickets go on
Tickets go on sale July sixteenth.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Oh my gosh, it'll be sold out before August.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
No, no, no, I've streets are saying that this year's already sold.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Out, but they aren't on sale yet.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I know That's the running joke that I always say
is that it just sells out immediately.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
It does pretty much. If you want to go, you
better buy it quick.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, you better buy your tickets.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
It's just how it is.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
They're also bringing back Jollywood.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Nights okay at.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Hollywood Studios, So yeah, that is that's also returning.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
I miss, I really miss Disney. I might get Disney
passes this year. It might happen.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Why don't you just get a Universal Pass? Like I've
been trying to tell you, it's a closer park.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
This skuy works for Universal over here.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I just you haven't been in so long. You love
Velosit Coaster, you love Hagrid.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I know, I know, but my family enjoys more riots
at Disney, specifically Missus Dickerman.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
But don't you want to be able to, like have
the ability to go to Epic Universe if that becomes
an add on to your pass?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I do want that at some point. I won't argue
that point with you.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Or at the least, if you like have a Universal
Pass and you go, yeah, you know I want to,
We'll buy a ticket, will splurge you a little. You'd
at least get free parking. At Epic.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
That is true. Yeah, that is true too. That is
another point. I still love Disney. I don't know why.
I'm I'm brainwashed. I'm one of those I'm one of
those guys, Scott.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
We just needed to take them to the what is
it the Orlando Informer Night where you get to all
you can drink butter beer.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Make me sick. I don't drink eighteen of them.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
We know you will, and then you'll want to do
every ride.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Yeah, that's true, and we'll have to tell you that
it's not a good idea.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I want to be there at the end of every
ride handing him a fresh butter Yeah.

We'll get to on the show tonight. But Scott, you
went out to a theme park this week? Right?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I did my yearly pilgrimage, as I always do, to
Universal Studios on July fourth.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Dead of summer. Probably what is in the past, not always,
but in the past been one of the busiest theme
park days of the year. What was your experience?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So got there around eleven thirty. I think because it's
like a holiday, i'mless sleep in. It was a little busy.
I think they were now parking people on the roof. Okay,
so like that's how good. That's it. That's usually a
good gauge of how busy it is.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Every time I go and parked on the roof. So okay, sure.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Got into the park and I have a game plan
on the on July fourth, I go in, uh, I
go get a picture with Bruce the Shark. And right
now it's the fiftieth anniversary of Jaws. They have a
whole bunch of like food stands. We've talked about this.
There's like sea there's a seafood stand. There's like a
funnel cake stand, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
But at one of these stands they're selling nar Aganston,
which is the beer that Quin drinks in the Jaws.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Movies, like the old seventies can of.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Course, that is the only way to actually buy near
against Like if you go to Total Wine, which I
did after I left the park, that's how you get it.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
And does it have the pop top or the one
you fully pull off and throw the.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It's it's it's a pop top, so it's it's a
little it's a little modernized, but I gotta do.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
The old one where you pull it the whole thing off.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well, those are a little bit bad for the environment.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Well, and you're like the only person that remembers that. Yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Like nineteen eighty four. Ye those went away.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Now beer was back in the day, so they have that, Scott.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Do you remember in the grocery stores when you were
a kid, the soda bottles that were coming in glass
or they always plastic two leaders.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
The only drink I remember in glass bottles was you
who in gatorade?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Oh, that's good. Gaora, oh, gatorade in the glass. That's
an old that's a throwback. Actually right there you can
still find glass bottles of soda. I think it's kind
of hip now to have glass.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Well, like you can get like a full sugar Mexican
coke in a glass bottle, or like sheer wine stuff
like that, but like you know, just a regular you know,
twelve sixteen ounce can't or bottle.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah, you don't see those. No more thes like machines
Like this is before all of our time. So they
had machines where they just spit out a glass bottle.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Did you like give it money or did you just
do this like a maximum overdrive.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
You gotta put money. It was like fifty cents probably
and you got a full on glass bottle of coke.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
No, no, no, No. Sodas from vending machines are not fifty cents.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
They're like back then, they're probably three dollars. Sure, who
knows they are about.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yes, But but right across from Bruce we've talked about
this is a mockup of the Amity skipper boat tour. Yes,
from the ride Rip the Jaws ride right, Yes, And
so it's just it's a good little atmosphere area. And like,
if you go in the candy shop, they're playing w Jaw,
(04:40):
which was what they played in the queue for the ride.
You know at some point you'll hear them talk about
Chief Brody. It's just it's so much fun, it's so nostalgic.
I love it. I wish I wish that would stay.
I don't. I mean, I can't imagine it will once
summer's Overbuddy would love for it to stay. I would
love for them to figure out a way to like
reintegrate Jaws into into the park, but I mean there
(05:04):
isn't really space to do that. But I mean the
Mega Movie Parade has like a giant float that is
Jaws with like Quint and Brody, so it is still
well represented in there.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Way they could put a bruise the Shark in the
lagoon and just like have them swim around.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I mean, I would love that, But if you watch
the documentary for the Shark is is still working. There's
a lot of issues with having those kind of thing.
Granted it's not salt water that they have in the lagoon,
which was such a problem that.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Lagoon them swim around on a track that Lagoon's got
like six inches of soot from all the fireworks have
gone off.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And now they have a whole bunch of sprayers because they,
you know, have done like lagoon shows.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Right, yeah, right? Is that was that area? Will attended
the Shark area? Did you find it to be less credible?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
It's a come and go area, like a lot of
people will come get a drink. You know, you can
go over to see Alcatraz, get an Oceana Jack a drink.
Jimmy and I are very familiar with. It's a drink
and a show.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
It is, yep.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But you can get a souvenir glass, which which I
have now. It's the only thing that I drink anything
out of.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I say, nineteen seventy five and it's got Jaws on it.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
What was nineteen seventy five?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Like, I don't know what do you mean? You no, no,
before my time?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
But yeah, not much, yeah, not much much.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Yeah, well that's fine, it's fine, but not enough. Fine,
but it was.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I'm pretty sure Jaws was still in theaters when you.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
That'd be a heck of a long run, man, I mean.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
It was like the first blockbuster, So.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Possibly movies in theaters for like a year back then.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
This is true. There wasn't There was not as many.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, because only like two came out of a year.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, was Jaws two out when you were Oh yeah,
I'm sure that was seventy eight.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, So you know, it's it's it's a weird little
area because it's, you know, right next to the Fast
and Furious Ride's right before you know, Harry potter Land begins.
So it's it's very it's it's very chill. It's like
it's I love it. I love that little area. It's
not very well shaded, so there's a problems that kind
of prohibits a lot of people lingering around there.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Let me ask you this, Could they just flood the
Fast and the Furious ride and change out the stupid
mini helicopter and turn it into a shark and just
make it a Jaws event? No?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
No, do you not remember the Earthquake ride where they
did have water, but it was not a permanent thing.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Mm?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Vaguely, vaguely, And it's.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Very hard to do indoor water rides in a humid
climate Lake Florida.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Mm. Well, I mean pirates, right, that's true.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
You there are there is ways to it.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
The ducks, the three Cabby Arrows. Yeah, he's got a
good air conditioning. I think some good ac also.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
You need a good big footprint to be able to
do that.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, probably so I could see that lots of water,
not a small amount.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
And then after that we went over did minim black
because I think it was a fifteen minute.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Wait. How is the air conditioning? I always like to
hear perfect, perfect they have there? What is that air
conditioning system? I need that for my hound.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I just I feel like it's set to like fifty Yeah,
well legitimately.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Hey, it's just a stone cold killer. It never stops.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Nope, not at all. And then went over to Schwabs
Pharmacy to get the Back to the Future ice cream
or the milkshake. Well, it's very good. I want to
get it again. So why not on a hot day.
Who wouldn't want to get a milkshake?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Yeah, Fritzy loved that ice cream joint there, that Schwabs.
He was always there every time we go. We had
to go to Schwabs.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Popped over to the Horror Makeup Show just to hang
out in the lobby because they have so many cool exhibits.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Bits.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, the next show wasn't for like an hour and
a half. It had just it had just started.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I think they do have great exhibits there. That's a
fun show, Like you could see that show multiple times.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Well, and sometimes you could be a part of it.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Did I just hear Dickerman say he likes a show?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I know, I'm a little only one.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Because there's is it because like somebody gets their arm
uled off? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I mean it's fun, it's funny, it's short. I never
did see the Born Supremacy show or whatever that was,
so Born Legacy.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
The Born Stunt Tacular.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Is that still on? Is that still a thing? Yeah?
I haven't seen that.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Still I I have done it. I've done it one time.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
M hm, that's enough.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I've done it. I've done it one time.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
That's all I got to say about that.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
But I think it's for show, for stage shows. It's
really interesting. It's got some really cool effects.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
But after that, because it's July fourth, what do you want?
On July fourth, hot Dog hot Dog hot Dog popped
over to the hot Dog Hall of Fame at the
City Walk.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I didn't even know this was a thing.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's over for years. Yeah, it's been there for years.
It's over by. It used to be the Groove, but
now it's where the escape rooms are.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Oh. I never go to that section of CityWalk. That's why,
except for when I would work gigs at Pat O'Brien's.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, so it's right over there, and I had never
been there before. But I'm like hot dogs, Like, let's

choice of chew toppings.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
All right, yeah, chili and cheese done. I'm in, Well
you get mustard on your chili dog or no, no mustard.
I'm like that. I'm like that guy on a jackass
who hates the mustard and then they put it all
over his car.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Mustard's delicious, man, all forms of mustard.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Good.
Speaker 2 (13:29):

Speaker 3 (13:36):
What happens if you eat that full two foot Chili Dog.
Then you go ride rides. There's gonna be a protein spill.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Did you ever see the movie The Sandlot where the
kids try chewing tobacco.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
I mean, hey, if you've got that sort of expendable
income or that's your big splurtch for the year, good
for you. But boy, that is a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
The Frequent Fear as a standard is two is three
hundred dollars, which is forty nights.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Okay, that's not bad.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
If you want to add Express to that.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
It don't because Express is so expensive.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
It bumps it up to nine and fifty dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Geez, that Express is more than the tickets themselves.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Yep, Dickerman, let me ask you something. I spend fourteen
hundred dollars a year on my season tickets for Gators,
and that's only seven home games.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
So for ninety dollars, would you say, nine hundred dollars
you get Express and the freaking Fear.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Pass all twenty seven nights or whatever? I thought? He
said forty forty or is that?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
That was a twelve hundred dollars on the forty yeah nights?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Is the regular frequent fear.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
And then any of these include parking, is parking including
any of these or no. No, So that's an extra
thirty bucks a night. You're you're spitting out too.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
That's why you gotta be friends with a pass holder, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Or just get passes. I mean, at that point it
might make more sense to buy a pass absolutely cover
your parking fees at least one.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Pass, but that's on sale.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
That's a lot. So so the one with the express
is sold out, the twelve hundred dollars one is sold out,
or how many of those there were.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I mean, they're gonna stagger things. They're gonna stagger the
release of things. So but we have always said this,
if you have the means to do it, and you're
only going one night.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Do an rap tour.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Well, I was gonna say, just get Express, but yes,
if you if you really can do an rap tour.
But if you can't do that, but you can splurge
a little bit expressed at.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
The price of Express, I'm just gonna say, I think
it might be really close to our if you've got
enough people in your party.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
That's the thing.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Press is so expensive.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Now, if you have a large group, then yes, But
if you're like one in like if you're just like
a pair, like a foursome, like it depends on my
it depends. But Jimmy, like when we when there were
four of us, when we went, we were able to
do every single thing before midnight. And we were going
casually that night, and this was the first Friday in October.
(17:29):
We stopped at one went two different points to get
food for like thirty minutes each time. Like we never
felt rushed at all that night. It's nice, and we
got a great picture with Dickerman.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Yeah, I was there.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
You were there, Okay, it's true. You look a little
different in that picture though.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah. I mean I could see, like I could even
see people going on I'm sure they have like Facebook
groups for Halloween our nights. I see people at seawear
all the time. Hey, anybody want to meet up? I'm like,
you're a meeting strangers, You're weird. But I could see
people meeting up with strangers and all getting in together
to uh, to have a rip tour.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I mean, it's it's it's like when you go to
a convention and they have meetups there. You're meeting people
of common interests.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I'm not I'm not comfortable meeting people.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Well, you're not comfortable.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
With a lot of things. You're not comfortable with mustard.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, it makes me very uncomfortable to meet people.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
You're not comfortable with. Soon you're you don't like fish?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
No, No, I'm gonna trick him into eating mustard.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, I'm I'm I'm on board with this as wells.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
I just don't care for it.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
We also got some other horrnite news.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Okay, what does that have to do with us tricking
you to get eat mustard?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
There's a there's a certain clown that is uh coming
to hornites.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
It is it? It? No? Jack, Nope?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Art the clown is that thing you like from the
Terrifier movies.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
I tried that first one. It looked like it was
shot on like one of those nineteen nineties cam quarters
which just fit the full sized VHS tape in it.
I just gave up. I couldn't do it. Well.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Watch two and three and the production values go up
a lot more.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
They got a camera. They got an actual camera this time. Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
The third one costs I think like two three million
dollars crowdfunded.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Okay, crowdfunded.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
All right, if you've seen these movies, sorry, I'm gonna read.
I'm gonna read a quote from Damian Leone, the creator
of the Terrifier franchise. Uh Terrifiers coming to Hallween Hornites.
We are thrilled, honored, and relieved to finally share this
exciting news. This is set to be the bloodiest house yet,
and the team at Halloween Hornites truly knocked this attraction
(19:34):
out of the park. You will get some of art
the Clown's greatest hits and then some.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Okay, bloodiest house yet. That's a bold statement.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Well, if you've watched the movies in these are some
of the most dranged and depraved kills I have ever
seen in a movie.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
That's why Scott likes it.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
They sit with you.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
It's terrifying, That's why it's called Terrifier.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
But he is a clown that does not speak, he
does not make noise, but he has a horn. They
honks around all the time.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I guess I need to see you.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Should you you really? I I honestly think you will
like to really yeah, start with well yeah start, I
mean you should really start with one. But you you
won't go back to one.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I'm too snooty, but yeah, go go go go to two.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Two's really good.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I'm not here to watch a student film.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Uh elsewhere this past week and we said our final
farewells to the rivers of America. Tom Sawyer Island the
Liberty Bell.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
This crushes me like you guys were crushed by the Muppets.
This is this is doating. What was it like?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Somebody got a picture of what the leveled space where
the Muppets theater used to be.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
And it's hard working.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
It is kind of sad seeing that it's Tom Sawyer. Well,
how was the final day?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I didn't go? And why not? I don't have passes.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
You're you're one of these people that's all sad that
it's going.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Oh you weren't even there. I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
But there's a door now.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
They did put a door in and yeah, I said,
I didn't even think about it. I'm like those monsters,
but it actually is the monsters.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah I made that joke because the second the door,
but the monsters inc Yeah, yeah, it was like they
should have just owned it and put like Sully on
them or.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Put like the little thing at the top of the
door that lights up.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's definitely it's definitely the not
the Monsters inc Though, for sure.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
But let's talk about the biggest thing. We now have
all the details for Mickey's Very Merry Chrismas Party.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Oh I thought the lie. I thought it was going
to be the balloon. Did you know they have balloon
daycare at Animal Kingdom. Yes, Like if you if you
park op to Animal Kingdom and you bought one of
those like balloons within a balloon like at like Magic Kingdom,
they have a check in for you for your balloon.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
They don't want you to bring them.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Yeah. Oh that's brilliant. Those things are like twenty bucks too.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Well yeah, and then when it's over and you leave,
you get a report card on how your balloon did
in daycare.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I like that. Like it.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
It's funny, but Mickey's not. So. Mickey's Very Merry Christmas
Party November seventh through December twenty first tickets go on
Tickets go on sale July sixteenth.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Oh my gosh, it'll be sold out before August.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
No, no, no, I've streets are saying that this year's already sold.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Out, but they aren't on sale yet.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I know That's the running joke that I always say
is that it just sells out immediately.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
It does pretty much. If you want to go, you
better buy it quick.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, you better buy your tickets.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
It's just how it is.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
They're also bringing back Jollywood.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Nights okay at.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Hollywood Studios, So yeah, that is that's also returning.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
I miss, I really miss Disney. I might get Disney
passes this year. It might happen.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Why don't you just get a Universal Pass? Like I've
been trying to tell you, it's a closer park.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
This skuy works for Universal over here.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I just you haven't been in so long. You love
Velosit Coaster, you love Hagrid.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
I know, I know, but my family enjoys more riots
at Disney, specifically Missus Dickerman.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
But don't you want to be able to, like have
the ability to go to Epic Universe if that becomes
an add on to your pass?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I do want that at some point. I won't argue
that point with you.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Or at the least, if you like have a Universal
Pass and you go, yeah, you know I want to,
We'll buy a ticket, will splurge you a little. You'd
at least get free parking. At Epic.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
That is true. Yeah, that is true too. That is
another point. I still love Disney. I don't know why.
I'm I'm brainwashed. I'm one of those I'm one of
those guys, Scott.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
We just needed to take them to the what is
it the Orlando Informer Night where you get to all
you can drink butter beer.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Make me sick. I don't drink eighteen of them.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
We know you will, and then you'll want to do
every ride.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Yeah, that's true, and we'll have to tell you that
it's not a good idea.
Speaker 1 (24:14):

ride handing him a fresh butter Yeah.
