of This is the Theme Park Podcast. Wait past, Why
does everything gotta be so messy on this station? Anyway?
Here's your hosts Stickerman, Jimmy d and Scott Harris, and
welcome to the Theme Park Podcast. Dickerman is on assignment tonight,
(00:26):
but we are here with a special guest.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Scott Hi. Yes, my name is Scott Harris, a longtime
listener to Theme Park Podcast. Thank you very much for
having me. Jimmy, I've always said it's an honor to
be here.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
You're not the guest that was tossing it to you
to give it to the guests.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Oh, our guest is yeah, and give it to the guests.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Mister Jack Bradshaw, Hello, who is the adult of the
radio station.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Jack.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
You used to be such a joyful a goofball and
then you got serious management.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Does that to you?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Does it?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Well it's it's funny. So we're at Universal's Universal landa
resort for Halloween horneites this year, and it kind of
ties into something very quickly that I want to tell
a very funny anecdote about like one of the first
times I met Jack Bradshaw, okay, and I wonder if
he remembers this.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Does this have to do with a paper cutter.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It does have to do with a paper cutter.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
This is your fault, not mine.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I was told by someone not naming any names, don't
cut yourself. Thirty seconds later, I look down and there's
I'm bleeding.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I specifically said, don't cut yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I'm not naming names.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I cut myself on that too.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, it's a dangerous instrument.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Josh eGolf he cut his hands so bad he had
have stitches.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Across exciting stitches on my fingertip.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Wow. Yeah, yeah, that thing was a menace.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
But that ties into the Halloween Hornets.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
It is a experience. That paper cutter was a nightmare.
Fuel and did you throw it away? You still got okay? Good?
That went the dumpster with like the twenty or twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Half the office supplies and furniture and stuff that doesn't
have current logos. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, wow, man, you know the history that went into
those dumpers. Dumpsters.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
So we're out at Halloween Hornet's. Yes, yeah, they invited
us out here.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
It's just huge.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, it's a lot of fun. Yeah, it's it's a
fun event. It's going on now, it's been going on
for a few weeks. Now goes on through the end
of November. November the beginning nor Yes, sorry to me,
Halloween never ends, so it's really it's.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
The end of the beginning of November. Yes, yeah, which
is the third.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, I've been saying that the Halloween season begins on
July fifth, after fourth July, Spooky seasons has already begun
for me, so hence the hair. It's it's just the season.
So Tiet's favorite.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Apparently normal colors or Halloween seas.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, it's his fall.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Look, I'm surprised you didn't go with a nice auburn.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Hey, new year, knew man.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Okay, yeah, good for you, brother. I guess it is
a new financial year at this point. You know, my uh,
my favorite Jack Bradshaw story is one one day when
I was when I was actually on the air antikas
we were transitioning from shows, and Jack made a crack
about the size of my wallet and I said something
(03:26):
smart back to him, and he told me he hoped
I severed my ssiatic nerve.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Oh that's me.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah, I probably did.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh you did because it stuck. It was like, I
was like, man, that is really hard.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
No, I'm just a big wallet in your pocket. It
throws up your nerve and you sit on that all
the time. It's I was again looking out for your
overall better health.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's like or it's like, oh, this guy's got a
lot of money in that wallet. I'm just gonna take
him down a Pegger two.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I never assume that with Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, that is a safe assumption. Lauren won't even let
me hold my ticket for to night.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Actually, I would have assumed it was every Gator ticket
of every game he's been to.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Stuff did that he would remember this play happened, This
play happened, This play happened.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You know last year I crested over one hundred games
in a row. Wow, yeah, wow, so we are what
is it? You're eighteen now?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
That's yeah, got map checks out?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Wow? Two thousand and six.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Have you calculated the miles of driving back and forth?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Oh god, yeah, well it's the same times one hundred basically.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yeah, that's easy math.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah. So it's like I want to say two fifty
three hundred round trip per game? Wow? Yeah, because I
think it's one hundred and twenty five miles from our
door to ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
So yeah, and you'll that's wonderful. And I guess you
were there last week when UCF traveled up to the Swamp.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yes, and uh, you know the end of that game
was quite interesting.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I can't believe it. Yeah, we'll be talking about that
one for years.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Well, another thing that I would be talking about is
Horror Nights going on because I love this event. I've
got ten houses to go to and I've been prepping
for this for a few weeks now. I've been watching
all the movies. Okay, I'm caught up. You know what?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
We actually were watching Peacock the app. I'm sure you might.
You might be familiar with it. Yes, watching that new
Zachary Quinto show, Doctor Show, and the commercial every break
was Halloween Horror Nights. And my wife goes to She goes,
do we have to see all the movies first?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yes? The answer is yes.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I'm gonna say no, we've seen a couple of them.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I think we're good.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Well, there's only there's three a quiet places that to
prep on there is We've seen those. Yep. All right,
then you're good on that because we got it. We
got a Quiet Place House, which is a quiet house.
Yeah yeah, but it also incorporates American sign language for
time ever for that very cool.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I only know a few signs and I don't think
they'll be appropriate.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Then there's the Insidious House, which has five houses or
five movies.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Word down the street. That might be one of the best. One.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
You're gonna go into the further in that one with
Patrick Wilson.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Okay, Now I have not seen the movie. Oh you
should know who Patrick Wilson is.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
You should check it out. They're good movies. There are
a lot of fun movies. We got Ghostbusters raise a
cult books now that are you got a Call?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Now I've seen that the original series, like the one
on your shirt?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, I bought, I bought it. Did I buy a
special shirt just for tonight?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yes I did.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yes. Have you seen After Life?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Because I'm a child?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Did you see Frozen Empire? No, that's the one that's
the one. Yes, after Life? Is that the one that's
the reboot, that's the legacy sequel. No, that is Ghostbuster's
Answer the Call or Ghostbusters twenty sixteen. That just depends
on what Parl wants you want to.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Use Okay, that's a twenty dollars word.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yes, So after Life where does this fall? That there
have been two?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
There was two, yeah, and then there was the all
female one, which is like a separate cannon. And then
After Life is the legacy sequel of one and two.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Got it?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
And then it's essentially a Ghostbusters three.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yes, makes sense to me.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And then from the Empires, the sequel to Afterlife with
Paul Rud with Paul Rudd is in three and four?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Got it?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
But now Patnall's Walton Camille Nan johnny E who joined
in on this as well.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
And there's a house here that for the Ghostbuster fans, correct,
got it?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
If I do nothing today, I must have the s'mores,
the Staypuffsmores. Yes, like I've been told, it's a lot
of marshmallow, but I love marshmallow.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
So I feel so bad because he looks like such
an innocence. And then I watched the movie and I'm like,
he is trying to destroy New York City. I have
to keep remembering that.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And he does try to murder Paul Rudd in that
grocery store.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
So the mini ones, yes, yes, Well, That's what I'm
gonna eat. There's also speaking of Peacock, Jack, Peacock is
the app for all of the universal classic monsters. You
can watch all those movies. That's cool, and you know,
I learned about them. We're all like an hour long, yes,
because movies back in the thirties and forties were very long.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And one of my favorite it was several years ago
they had the classic Monster's House, which was you know,
Wolfman in Dracula Frankenstein. I thought that was one of
the best houses. I really enjoyed that.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
That's the house that got me.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
There was a one point somebody was swooping like they
were on an elevated platform, and I believe Dickerman saw this.
I was crawling on the ground because it was like, no,
I mean allegedly I did that. But there's a universal
there's a universal monster's house. This year it's all the
(08:54):
female monsters.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
It's the ladies, yes, which is very cool.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Eternal Bloodlines is that house?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
You know, Jack, I was gonna ask you before you
made that comment about Peacock. Like every other commercial, I
was going to say, whatever it cost to pay for
no commercials pay for it because it's worth it.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I'm trying to trim down all the streaming. But Peacock,
you know, it's it's pretty good. And the fact that
they have all the classic ones, I might start with
that because I are they they're not scary, right, No.
I think when you watch an old movie, it's like,
that's well be back then it was.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
It's kind of cool to see just the evolution of
makeup in effects and everything, which is which like you
don't you now there's no CG. I didn't exist back then.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Which is one of the things. I was here a
month ago at the park with the family and we
did the horror makeup show for the first time. Heard
about how cool it was for you. It's fantastic. That's
something to do with your helen the experience. Yeah, And
and they make it fun. It's entertaining, and they have
a little edge. They lean into that and it's, uh,
that's a good time.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, that is a great way describe universal. It has
a little bit of edge and they lean into it. Yes,
that's perfect.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Speaking of Peacock, I'm just gonna keep down in this
because they're I'm looking at the scarre zones. We've got
five scare zones. One of them is a blood entered
the Blumhouse. So Blumhouse the movie studio, so we got
care of they make half the movies.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
He twenty four makes the other half, right.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yes, pretty much. And then and then Neon sprinkles a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Of the minute. Well, is Mirro Max not a thing anymore?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Near Max is still a thing? Yes, that is still
a thing. Okay, not the same you're thinking of New
Line actually, because New Line was known as like the
the house that built Freddy. Yeah, and then didn't they
do uh Near maxin Screams? Okay, yeah, I don't know
how I fit all of this in my brain, I
really don't.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
But it was Nightmare on Elm Street that saved New Line. Correct,
they had they were all in on that one, yep.
And without that hitting, they wouldn't be a movie.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And then a few years and then about fifteen years later,
Peter Jackson said, Hey, I got this. I I want
to do this movie about these books about these hobbits
in a ring. And then they've been kind of set
ever since then. Yeah, Lord of the Rings that were
but the Blumhouse. So because I've seen all these movies,
we got Megan, the the AI robot that dances.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
That truly is terrifying to me.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
M like the idea of an AI robot or the
movie itself.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Both, or that there's that there could be a horde
of them dancing through the streets coming after.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
You, just like, have you seen Megan. No, there's a
scene where she's like doing acrobatics in a hallway and
it just like.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And then she breaks speaking of tying this all back
in together, breaks the blade of a papercutter off and
is like, I.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Bet no one told her to be careful, or maybe
someone did.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Or she just as a computer and knows how to
not injure herself. But there's also the grab Her from
the Black Phone, which is the Ethan Hawk movie direct
by Scott Dereckson. So that that was a house in
previous years. But those are some of the characters that
you can experience, and that that scare zone.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
We've walked through the scar zone in the daylight.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
So far, well, Jimmy, not as scary.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Right, there's a there's a swamp of the undead.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
We did walk through that and just as we were
walking through there was like these camo tarps because there's
some very grotesque props in there, and you don't want
the day guests with like little kids seeing that, right,
And as we're passing through there, they're starting to uncover everything.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
So we were in the park earlier, like at the
transition time, and there was like a kid on like
like a parent's shoulders, and the mom was like, no, no,
what are all the colors that you see? What? I
see this? Do you also see this? Trying to just
put blinders on the child and not notice what is
going on around them.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
So you've done Halloween Harnits many times.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I came when I was like thirteen years old, and
when I tell you it was a horrible idea for
me at that age, It was a horrible idea for
me at that age.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I've been a handful of times over the years, not recently.
I'll be going again, you know, for this run, trying
to find the right night for that. But what advice
would you give someone who would be coming for the
first time. They they hear so much about Halloween hard Knights,
they see the commercials, they're like, all right, let's do it,
let's go. I hear it's very popular. But what advice,
(13:16):
what tips would you give.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Okay, pro tips if you see that there's like stuff
based on movies, watch the movies because you'll get more
out of the experience. So that's why I was like,
I hadn't seen The Insidious Is, so it's like, I'm
gonna start watching these. There are original houses in a
lot of the original houses that like universally comes up
within their own are a lot of fun too, because
it's like they're not beholden to anything. So it's just like, hey,
(13:38):
I had this crazy idea, I'm gonna go for this.
And especially if there's one year where there's a giant
scary clown named Jack, Yeah, terrifies me to no end y.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah, don't And that's because because I don't like clowns.
The intellectual property rights, if it's something like Walking Dead,
they say, okay, you have to stay within this connuity. Yeah,
and you have to kind of adhere to this, and
someone probably has to approve that. But when it's universal
doing their own stuff, and the Classic Monsters being an
example of that, they have a little more freedom and
(14:12):
creativity and aren't hindered by someone else's vision.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
So some other pro tips is they always do special
foods and drinks for this event. Prep it. They have
it listed on the Universe Orlando website, all the foods
and where you can buy them. So you're like, I
want to get the toasted State Puff marshmallow. I know
I can get it over here. I want to get
a walking taco. It's going to be over in this area,
so you can start mapping it out. The one thing
(14:38):
that I would really say is and if you can
afford this, there's two things I would recommend. Doing an
rip tour where you can do all the houses and
you can kind of get guidance through this, or do
the Express. The Express is just such a game changer
because if you start coming later in the in the
month when the die are really out and I want
(15:01):
to come when it's a little bit cooler outside the Express,
it's it's gonna guarantee that you're gonna do everything, but
it just helps you bypass so much of the line.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
You know, who can afford that? Jimmy d I've seen
his wallet, Yes you have. I don't know what's inside,
but I suspect he can afford that.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
But also check out the website, check out Universal Orlando
dot com, check out the because they always have some
kind of deals for Florida residents or whatever. If you're
an annual pass hoole, just talk to them. Called it
like I'm an annual pass holder. I called it was like, hey,
what can you do for me? It never hurts to
ask a question like that.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
And it also pays to be nice, yea, because if
you're rude, they're gonna be like nothing nothing for you.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Universe Orlando dot com slash Halloween is insidious? Is really
the plural in city? I.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I don't know, you're the franchise.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
You're the adult.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I know there's other ways around it.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Oh yeah, but yeah, you're the adult.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
The word thing you get that's at my wheelhouse.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Here's the thing you get paid to talk for a living, Jack,
I don't three people who have used their voices to
make money for two decades.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Whoa, whoa, whoa not that long two and a half decades?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
No, No, why are you agent me up?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Even more, Scott likes to pretend like he's just like
in his early twenties. Yeah we're not. We have Dickerman
and I legitimately have no idea how old he is. Yeah,
but we suspect that's turn twenty nine next week, right,
I can look it.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Up actually, manager thing, Yeah, I have access.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
You don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
No, I don't, it'll ruin it. You know.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well, there's a chance tonight at Halloween har Knights, he
could be cut in half and you could count the rings.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Well, there is the Nightmare Fuel Nocturnal Circus show that happens,
which features stuff like that. There's pyro, there's acrobatics, there's
rock music.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Now I've heard, I've heard really good things about this.
This is something that's definitely on my list.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Now.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
This is what used to be which was legendary, the
Bill and Ted show. Yes, right, so they do show
you file in. They do it several times throughout the evening.
You gotta watch for show times, but you get to
sit down and witness the show. Usually it's funny. But
you know has that Halloween theme too.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yes, yeah, And I will say this, you were talking
about showtimes. Download the Universal Orlando app because it has showtimes,
it has wait times, it'll tell you where bathrooms are,
food stands, drink stands, all those kinds of things.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Well, and Universal doesn't do paper maps anymore.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Correct, that's true, But the thing is.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I was like looking at the map earlier and it
was just like when you first walk in. Obviously there's
because there's two scare zones. There's duality of fear. There's
a sinister side in a surreal side. But when you
walk in, there's five houses on that first stretch right
when you walk into the park.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
So going down towards Minion Land, yes, five houses.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
So here's another tip that I've heard pro TP you
tell me if it's it's if it's legit. When you
come in, go all the way to the back, yes,
and hit the houses that are in the back, because
shorter line.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Well, because it's like it's human nature. You walk in,
you want to go to the closest stuff that you see.
Go to the back. That is where people will eventually
get to at the end of the night. Yeah, so yeah,
head over to by men in black there's houses back
back out that way, all right, and you're passing by
all the fun food stands. If you're hungry along the way,
(18:20):
pays to do that. You're gonna burn a lot of
calories tonight. First of all, you're gonna be walking, you're
gonna be screaming you're gonna get scared. Heart ray goes up.
You need a walking taco to help keep eat. This
goes on until two am.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
How does your Apple watch like track all that? Do
you have like a scream eater like?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I mean, there's well, the thing is, there's the hearing
part where it's like you're at over ninety decibels. You
might need to go to a quiet area. That that's
when you go into the quiet place house.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah, I am super intrigued on how they pull that
off a quiet house.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I'm looking forward to that one. Really enjoyed the movies,
even the most recent one as well, and I'm looking
forward to that house.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I was watching that and I was like, do I
want to have a snack one watching this movie? And
then I felt like I can't. I can't make any
noise while I'm doing this.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
So here's the worst thing, especially if you know I
made the drive. I went to you know, the movie
theater with the big comfortable seats that were flying, and
then halfway through it's like.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I gotta go, oh, no, I gotta go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah, so then you hit your chair and it makes
the leather. Yeah, this leather farting noise, and it's and
I feel like it's not me. There's nothing on the
screen that is drowning out that sound because it's quiet. Yeah,
you know. And you're just like, I'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
And you come. Then you come back with like the
also the loudest snacks. You're just like you've got like nachos.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Now, you know Jackson who get the free refill on
his popcorn?
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Do you think I can afford popcorn at a movie theater?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
That's what I got the membership buddy.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yeah, he's an a list.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
I am. I'm a legitimately, I'm a movie past guy.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I remember the heyday of that.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I remember when it like was the thing and then
I did well, Yeah, because I was month to month.
The people who bought the annual subscription, they kind of
got burned when they went away. Yeah, I'm doing that
that ten dollars a month. Again, I probably were not
going often enough.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
The thing is you go once you've paid for it. Yeah,
that's that's the thing. And there's all there's whole bunch
of stuff. Our favorite thing on this show is once
it hits about like January, February March, we start thinking
what are the upcoming horror movies that could tie into
the next Horror Nights. Yeah, Like, you know, a few
years ago they had a beatles Ue house and it
was awesome. That's one of my favorite movies. It was
(20:47):
like living the movie. There was a Ghostbuster's house one
year and I got in trouble because of one member
of the show. How so, why'd you look at me?
Speaker 3 (20:56):
We hear the only other member who's here?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Well, no, but it was I assume it was indiggerman,
So let me look at you.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
So you does seem to be the most reasonable ave
the treo.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
You've seen Ghostbusters. That's the irony of that. So when
Annie Potts picks up the phone, you know Ghostbusters, Oh
what do you got?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:15):
And then she puts it down, hits the button. We
got one. We're walking through and one member of the
show goes, you should hit the button, and so I do,
and then she goes, don't touch that.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Oh you got yelled at.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I did get yelled at. It's like a fort dy
experience at that point, and I'd become part of the show.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
It wasn't like I sat there and like talked him
into it. I was like Scott pushed that button, and
he did it because I'm a child, I'm going to
immediately hit this button. To be fair, I had done
it on the light because that was my second time
through that house. I had done it the first time,
and Annie Potts didn't say anything to me.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
But what I learned with the paper cutter story and
living it, if you told him not to put the button,
he would have done it and still blamed you forgetting
yelled at, which.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Is what whether you tell him to do it or
not to do it. Yeah, either way, I'm blaming. I'm
not gonna take responsibility for these actions. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Like I didn't ask to be born.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Well, there's also the fact that it's like I'm like
experiencing things that are like my favorite like formative movies
for me. So like I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
like do anything to like get kicked out. But it's
just like it's right there is.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
That how long a house usually takes to get through
About four minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Uh it depends sometimes. Uh it's it depends on how
long a house is. Sometimes they're a little bit longer
than the others.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
We're gonna have to start tracking that the length of houses. Yes,
that's a great metric to track like that. Jack, good shot.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
You're officially an all a member of the show. Cool.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Ye, Well he decides that we are a show, So.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Now I'm gonna put you on at a better hour.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
That was all it was gonna take.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Yeah, oh I should have invited many years ago.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
We thought you just knew it was like a standing
thing because you and you, you helped invent the show.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Actually, you've you've developed a really strong audience at seven
am on Sundays. I don't want to mess with that Saturdays.
That's why they're not tuning in and I keep promoting Sunday.
Oh wow, your view, your listenership is gonna really take.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
There's been a skyrocket now. Yeah. Yeah, I just speaking up.
I just uh my loud talking. Just told me to
quiet down because I was too loud.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
You got a choietplace.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Have an app It protects my hearing.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Oh that's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah. So sometimes like if I when I'm doing a
soccer game and I get very animated, my watch was
like you're in an a loud environment. It's like I
am the loud environment.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
That's interesting. I didn't know that was a thing.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And then a few days later a certain person goes, hey,
you really need to stop screaming into microphones.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, I mentioned that.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
This true is a factual thing that happened earlier this week.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
When people listen to you, guys that you don't know
where they are, and then you know, they invite you
or you're them into your conversation, They invite you into
their home.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
We don't want to scare them.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
It's an intimate relationship. You're their friends, and you are
now giving them all what they need to know for
Universal Halloween. Harn Night's thirty three.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Mister Jack Bradshaw, Hello, who is the adult of the
radio station.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Jack.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
You used to be such a joyful a goofball and
then you got serious management.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Does that to you?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Does it?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Well it's it's funny. So we're at Universal's Universal landa
resort for Halloween horneites this year, and it kind of
ties into something very quickly that I want to tell
a very funny anecdote about like one of the first
times I met Jack Bradshaw, okay, and I wonder if
he remembers this.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Does this have to do with a paper cutter.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It does have to do with a paper cutter.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
This is your fault, not mine.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I was told by someone not naming any names, don't
cut yourself. Thirty seconds later, I look down and there's
I'm bleeding.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I specifically said, don't cut yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I'm not naming names.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I cut myself on that too.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, it's a dangerous instrument.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Josh eGolf he cut his hands so bad he had
have stitches.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Across exciting stitches on my fingertip.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Wow. Yeah, yeah, that thing was a menace.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
But that ties into the Halloween Hornets.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
It is a experience. That paper cutter was a nightmare.
Fuel and did you throw it away? You still got okay? Good?
That went the dumpster with like the twenty or twenty twenty.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Half the office supplies and furniture and stuff that doesn't
have current logos. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, wow, man, you know the history that went into
those dumpers. Dumpsters.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
So we're out at Halloween Hornet's. Yes, yeah, they invited
us out here.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
It's just huge.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, it's a lot of fun. Yeah, it's it's a
fun event. It's going on now, it's been going on
for a few weeks. Now goes on through the end
of November. November the beginning nor Yes, sorry to me,
Halloween never ends, so it's really it's.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
The end of the beginning of November. Yes, yeah, which
is the third.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, I've been saying that the Halloween season begins on
July fifth, after fourth July, Spooky seasons has already begun
for me, so hence the hair. It's it's just the season.
So Tiet's favorite.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Apparently normal colors or Halloween seas.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yeah, it's his fall.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Look, I'm surprised you didn't go with a nice auburn.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Hey, new year, knew man.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Okay, yeah, good for you, brother. I guess it is
a new financial year at this point. You know, my uh,
my favorite Jack Bradshaw story is one one day when
I was when I was actually on the air antikas
we were transitioning from shows, and Jack made a crack
about the size of my wallet and I said something
(03:26):
smart back to him, and he told me he hoped
I severed my ssiatic nerve.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Oh that's me.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah, I probably did.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh you did because it stuck. It was like, I
was like, man, that is really hard.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
No, I'm just a big wallet in your pocket. It
throws up your nerve and you sit on that all
the time. It's I was again looking out for your
overall better health.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's like or it's like, oh, this guy's got a
lot of money in that wallet. I'm just gonna take
him down a Pegger two.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
I never assume that with Jimmy.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, that is a safe assumption. Lauren won't even let
me hold my ticket for to night.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Actually, I would have assumed it was every Gator ticket
of every game he's been to.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Stuff did that he would remember this play happened, This
play happened, This play happened.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
You know last year I crested over one hundred games
in a row. Wow, yeah, wow, so we are what
is it? You're eighteen now?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
That's yeah, got map checks out?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Wow? Two thousand and six.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Have you calculated the miles of driving back and forth?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Oh god, yeah, well it's the same times one hundred basically.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Yeah, that's easy math.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah. So it's like I want to say two fifty
three hundred round trip per game? Wow? Yeah, because I
think it's one hundred and twenty five miles from our
door to ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
So yeah, and you'll that's wonderful. And I guess you
were there last week when UCF traveled up to the Swamp.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yes, and uh, you know the end of that game
was quite interesting.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I can't believe it. Yeah, we'll be talking about that
one for years.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Well, another thing that I would be talking about is
Horror Nights going on because I love this event. I've
got ten houses to go to and I've been prepping
for this for a few weeks now. I've been watching
all the movies. Okay, I'm caught up. You know what?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
We actually were watching Peacock the app. I'm sure you might.
You might be familiar with it. Yes, watching that new
Zachary Quinto show, Doctor Show, and the commercial every break
was Halloween Horror Nights. And my wife goes to She goes,
do we have to see all the movies first?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yes? The answer is yes.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I'm gonna say no, we've seen a couple of them.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I think we're good.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Well, there's only there's three a quiet places that to
prep on there is We've seen those. Yep. All right,
then you're good on that because we got it. We
got a Quiet Place House, which is a quiet house.
Yeah yeah, but it also incorporates American sign language for
time ever for that very cool.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I only know a few signs and I don't think
they'll be appropriate.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Then there's the Insidious House, which has five houses or
five movies.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Word down the street. That might be one of the best. One.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
You're gonna go into the further in that one with
Patrick Wilson.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Okay, Now I have not seen the movie. Oh you
should know who Patrick Wilson is.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
You should check it out. They're good movies. There are
a lot of fun movies. We got Ghostbusters raise a
cult books now that are you got a Call?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Now I've seen that the original series, like the one
on your shirt?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, I bought, I bought it. Did I buy a
special shirt just for tonight?
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yes I did.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yes. Have you seen After Life?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Because I'm a child?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
No?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Did you see Frozen Empire? No, that's the one that's
the one. Yes, after Life? Is that the one that's
the reboot, that's the legacy sequel. No, that is Ghostbuster's
Answer the Call or Ghostbusters twenty sixteen. That just depends
on what Parl wants you want to.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Use Okay, that's a twenty dollars word.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yes, So after Life where does this fall? That there
have been two?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
There was two, yeah, and then there was the all
female one, which is like a separate cannon. And then
After Life is the legacy sequel of one and two.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Got it?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
And then it's essentially a Ghostbusters three.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yes, makes sense to me.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And then from the Empires, the sequel to Afterlife with
Paul Rud with Paul Rudd is in three and four?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Got it?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
But now Patnall's Walton Camille Nan johnny E who joined
in on this as well.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
And there's a house here that for the Ghostbuster fans, correct,
got it?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
If I do nothing today, I must have the s'mores,
the Staypuffsmores. Yes, like I've been told, it's a lot
of marshmallow, but I love marshmallow.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
So I feel so bad because he looks like such
an innocence. And then I watched the movie and I'm like,
he is trying to destroy New York City. I have
to keep remembering that.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And he does try to murder Paul Rudd in that
grocery store.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
So the mini ones, yes, yes, Well, That's what I'm
gonna eat. There's also speaking of Peacock, Jack, Peacock is
the app for all of the universal classic monsters. You
can watch all those movies. That's cool, and you know,
I learned about them. We're all like an hour long, yes,
because movies back in the thirties and forties were very long.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
And one of my favorite it was several years ago
they had the classic Monster's House, which was you know,
Wolfman in Dracula Frankenstein. I thought that was one of
the best houses. I really enjoyed that.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
That's the house that got me.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
There was a one point somebody was swooping like they
were on an elevated platform, and I believe Dickerman saw this.
I was crawling on the ground because it was like, no,
I mean allegedly I did that. But there's a universal
there's a universal monster's house. This year it's all the
(08:54):
female monsters.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
It's the ladies, yes, which is very cool.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Eternal Bloodlines is that house?
Speaker 1 (09:00):
You know, Jack, I was gonna ask you before you
made that comment about Peacock. Like every other commercial, I
was going to say, whatever it cost to pay for
no commercials pay for it because it's worth it.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I'm trying to trim down all the streaming. But Peacock,
you know, it's it's pretty good. And the fact that
they have all the classic ones, I might start with
that because I are they they're not scary, right, No.
I think when you watch an old movie, it's like,
that's well be back then it was.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
It's kind of cool to see just the evolution of
makeup in effects and everything, which is which like you
don't you now there's no CG. I didn't exist back then.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Which is one of the things. I was here a
month ago at the park with the family and we
did the horror makeup show for the first time. Heard
about how cool it was for you. It's fantastic. That's
something to do with your helen the experience. Yeah, And
and they make it fun. It's entertaining, and they have
a little edge. They lean into that and it's, uh,
that's a good time.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, that is a great way describe universal. It has
a little bit of edge and they lean into it. Yes,
that's perfect.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Speaking of Peacock, I'm just gonna keep down in this
because they're I'm looking at the scarre zones. We've got
five scare zones. One of them is a blood entered
the Blumhouse. So Blumhouse the movie studio, so we got
care of they make half the movies.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
He twenty four makes the other half, right.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yes, pretty much. And then and then Neon sprinkles a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Of the minute. Well, is Mirro Max not a thing anymore?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Near Max is still a thing? Yes, that is still
a thing. Okay, not the same you're thinking of New
Line actually, because New Line was known as like the
the house that built Freddy. Yeah, and then didn't they
do uh Near maxin Screams? Okay, yeah, I don't know
how I fit all of this in my brain, I
really don't.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
But it was Nightmare on Elm Street that saved New Line. Correct,
they had they were all in on that one, yep.
And without that hitting, they wouldn't be a movie.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And then a few years and then about fifteen years later,
Peter Jackson said, Hey, I got this. I I want
to do this movie about these books about these hobbits
in a ring. And then they've been kind of set
ever since then. Yeah, Lord of the Rings that were
but the Blumhouse. So because I've seen all these movies,
we got Megan, the the AI robot that dances.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
That truly is terrifying to me.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
M like the idea of an AI robot or the
movie itself.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Both, or that there's that there could be a horde
of them dancing through the streets coming after.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
You, just like, have you seen Megan. No, there's a
scene where she's like doing acrobatics in a hallway and
it just like.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And then she breaks speaking of tying this all back
in together, breaks the blade of a papercutter off and
is like, I.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Bet no one told her to be careful, or maybe
someone did.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Or she just as a computer and knows how to
not injure herself. But there's also the grab Her from
the Black Phone, which is the Ethan Hawk movie direct
by Scott Dereckson. So that that was a house in
previous years. But those are some of the characters that
you can experience, and that that scare zone.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
We've walked through the scar zone in the daylight.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
So far, well, Jimmy, not as scary.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Right, there's a there's a swamp of the undead.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
We did walk through that and just as we were
walking through there was like these camo tarps because there's
some very grotesque props in there, and you don't want
the day guests with like little kids seeing that, right,
And as we're passing through there, they're starting to uncover everything.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
So we were in the park earlier, like at the
transition time, and there was like a kid on like
like a parent's shoulders, and the mom was like, no, no,
what are all the colors that you see? What? I
see this? Do you also see this? Trying to just
put blinders on the child and not notice what is
going on around them.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
So you've done Halloween Harnits many times.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
I came when I was like thirteen years old, and
when I tell you it was a horrible idea for
me at that age, It was a horrible idea for
me at that age.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I've been a handful of times over the years, not recently.
I'll be going again, you know, for this run, trying
to find the right night for that. But what advice
would you give someone who would be coming for the
first time. They they hear so much about Halloween hard Knights,
they see the commercials, they're like, all right, let's do it,
let's go. I hear it's very popular. But what advice,
(13:16):
what tips would you give.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Okay, pro tips if you see that there's like stuff
based on movies, watch the movies because you'll get more
out of the experience. So that's why I was like,
I hadn't seen The Insidious Is, so it's like, I'm
gonna start watching these. There are original houses in a
lot of the original houses that like universally comes up
within their own are a lot of fun too, because
it's like they're not beholden to anything. So it's just like, hey,
(13:38):
I had this crazy idea, I'm gonna go for this.
And especially if there's one year where there's a giant
scary clown named Jack, Yeah, terrifies me to no end y.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah, don't And that's because because I don't like clowns.
The intellectual property rights, if it's something like Walking Dead,
they say, okay, you have to stay within this connuity. Yeah,
and you have to kind of adhere to this, and
someone probably has to approve that. But when it's universal
doing their own stuff, and the Classic Monsters being an
example of that, they have a little more freedom and
(14:12):
creativity and aren't hindered by someone else's vision.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
So some other pro tips is they always do special
foods and drinks for this event. Prep it. They have
it listed on the Universe Orlando website, all the foods
and where you can buy them. So you're like, I
want to get the toasted State Puff marshmallow. I know
I can get it over here. I want to get
a walking taco. It's going to be over in this area,
so you can start mapping it out. The one thing
(14:38):
that I would really say is and if you can
afford this, there's two things I would recommend. Doing an
rip tour where you can do all the houses and
you can kind of get guidance through this, or do
the Express. The Express is just such a game changer
because if you start coming later in the in the
month when the die are really out and I want
(15:01):
to come when it's a little bit cooler outside the Express,
it's it's gonna guarantee that you're gonna do everything, but
it just helps you bypass so much of the line.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
You know, who can afford that? Jimmy d I've seen
his wallet, Yes you have. I don't know what's inside,
but I suspect he can afford that.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
But also check out the website, check out Universal Orlando
dot com, check out the because they always have some
kind of deals for Florida residents or whatever. If you're
an annual pass hoole, just talk to them. Called it
like I'm an annual pass holder. I called it was like, hey,
what can you do for me? It never hurts to
ask a question like that.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
And it also pays to be nice, yea, because if
you're rude, they're gonna be like nothing nothing for you.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Universe Orlando dot com slash Halloween is insidious? Is really
the plural in city? I.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
I don't know, you're the franchise.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
You're the adult.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I know there's other ways around it.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Oh yeah, but yeah, you're the adult.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
The word thing you get that's at my wheelhouse.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Here's the thing you get paid to talk for a living, Jack,
I don't three people who have used their voices to
make money for two decades.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Whoa, whoa, whoa not that long two and a half decades?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
No, No, why are you agent me up?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Even more, Scott likes to pretend like he's just like
in his early twenties. Yeah we're not. We have Dickerman
and I legitimately have no idea how old he is. Yeah,
but we suspect that's turn twenty nine next week, right,
I can look it.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Up actually, manager thing, Yeah, I have access.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
You don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
No, I don't, it'll ruin it. You know.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well, there's a chance tonight at Halloween har Knights, he
could be cut in half and you could count the rings.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Well, there is the Nightmare Fuel Nocturnal Circus show that happens,
which features stuff like that. There's pyro, there's acrobatics, there's
rock music.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Now I've heard, I've heard really good things about this.
This is something that's definitely on my list.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Now.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
This is what used to be which was legendary, the
Bill and Ted show. Yes, right, so they do show
you file in. They do it several times throughout the evening.
You gotta watch for show times, but you get to
sit down and witness the show. Usually it's funny. But
you know has that Halloween theme too.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yes, yeah, And I will say this, you were talking
about showtimes. Download the Universal Orlando app because it has showtimes,
it has wait times, it'll tell you where bathrooms are,
food stands, drink stands, all those kinds of things.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Well, and Universal doesn't do paper maps anymore.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Correct, that's true, But the thing is.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I was like looking at the map earlier and it
was just like when you first walk in. Obviously there's
because there's two scare zones. There's duality of fear. There's
a sinister side in a surreal side. But when you
walk in, there's five houses on that first stretch right
when you walk into the park.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
So going down towards Minion Land, yes, five houses.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
So here's another tip that I've heard pro TP you
tell me if it's it's if it's legit. When you
come in, go all the way to the back, yes,
and hit the houses that are in the back, because
shorter line.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Well, because it's like it's human nature. You walk in,
you want to go to the closest stuff that you see.
Go to the back. That is where people will eventually
get to at the end of the night. Yeah, so yeah,
head over to by men in black there's houses back
back out that way, all right, and you're passing by
all the fun food stands. If you're hungry along the way,
(18:20):
pays to do that. You're gonna burn a lot of
calories tonight. First of all, you're gonna be walking, you're
gonna be screaming you're gonna get scared. Heart ray goes up.
You need a walking taco to help keep eat. This
goes on until two am.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
How does your Apple watch like track all that? Do
you have like a scream eater like?
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I mean, there's well, the thing is, there's the hearing
part where it's like you're at over ninety decibels. You
might need to go to a quiet area. That that's
when you go into the quiet place house.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah, I am super intrigued on how they pull that
off a quiet house.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
I'm looking forward to that one. Really enjoyed the movies,
even the most recent one as well, and I'm looking
forward to that house.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
I was watching that and I was like, do I
want to have a snack one watching this movie? And
then I felt like I can't. I can't make any
noise while I'm doing this.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
So here's the worst thing, especially if you know I
made the drive. I went to you know, the movie
theater with the big comfortable seats that were flying, and
then halfway through it's like.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I gotta go, oh, no, I gotta go to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Yeah, so then you hit your chair and it makes
the leather. Yeah, this leather farting noise, and it's and
I feel like it's not me. There's nothing on the
screen that is drowning out that sound because it's quiet. Yeah,
you know. And you're just like, I'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
And you come. Then you come back with like the
also the loudest snacks. You're just like you've got like nachos.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Now, you know Jackson who get the free refill on
his popcorn?
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Do you think I can afford popcorn at a movie theater?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
That's what I got the membership buddy.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yeah, he's an a list.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
I am. I'm a legitimately, I'm a movie past guy.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I remember the heyday of that.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I remember when it like was the thing and then
I did well, Yeah, because I was month to month.
The people who bought the annual subscription, they kind of
got burned when they went away. Yeah, I'm doing that
that ten dollars a month. Again, I probably were not
going often enough.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
The thing is you go once you've paid for it. Yeah,
that's that's the thing. And there's all there's whole bunch
of stuff. Our favorite thing on this show is once
it hits about like January, February March, we start thinking
what are the upcoming horror movies that could tie into
the next Horror Nights. Yeah, Like, you know, a few
years ago they had a beatles Ue house and it
was awesome. That's one of my favorite movies. It was
(20:47):
like living the movie. There was a Ghostbuster's house one
year and I got in trouble because of one member
of the show. How so, why'd you look at me?
Speaker 3 (20:56):
We hear the only other member who's here?
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Well, no, but it was I assume it was indiggerman,
So let me look at you.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
So you does seem to be the most reasonable ave
the treo.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
You've seen Ghostbusters. That's the irony of that. So when
Annie Potts picks up the phone, you know Ghostbusters, Oh
what do you got?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:15):
And then she puts it down, hits the button. We
got one. We're walking through and one member of the
show goes, you should hit the button, and so I do,
and then she goes, don't touch that.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Oh you got yelled at.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I did get yelled at. It's like a fort dy
experience at that point, and I'd become part of the show.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
It wasn't like I sat there and like talked him
into it. I was like Scott pushed that button, and
he did it because I'm a child, I'm going to
immediately hit this button. To be fair, I had done
it on the light because that was my second time
through that house. I had done it the first time,
and Annie Potts didn't say anything to me.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
But what I learned with the paper cutter story and
living it, if you told him not to put the button,
he would have done it and still blamed you forgetting
yelled at, which.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Is what whether you tell him to do it or
not to do it. Yeah, either way, I'm blaming. I'm
not gonna take responsibility for these actions. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Like I didn't ask to be born.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Well, there's also the fact that it's like I'm like
experiencing things that are like my favorite like formative movies
for me. So like I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
like do anything to like get kicked out. But it's
just like it's right there is.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
That how long a house usually takes to get through
About four minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Uh it depends sometimes. Uh it's it depends on how
long a house is. Sometimes they're a little bit longer
than the others.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
We're gonna have to start tracking that the length of houses. Yes,
that's a great metric to track like that. Jack, good shot.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
You're officially an all a member of the show. Cool.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Ye, Well he decides that we are a show, So.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Now I'm gonna put you on at a better hour.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
That was all it was gonna take.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Yeah, oh I should have invited many years ago.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
We thought you just knew it was like a standing
thing because you and you, you helped invent the show.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Actually, you've you've developed a really strong audience at seven
am on Sundays. I don't want to mess with that Saturdays.
That's why they're not tuning in and I keep promoting Sunday.
Oh wow, your view, your listenership is gonna really take.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
There's been a skyrocket now. Yeah. Yeah, I just speaking up.
I just uh my loud talking. Just told me to
quiet down because I was too loud.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
You got a choietplace.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Have an app It protects my hearing.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Oh that's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah. So sometimes like if I when I'm doing a
soccer game and I get very animated, my watch was
like you're in an a loud environment. It's like I
am the loud environment.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
That's interesting. I didn't know that was a thing.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
And then a few days later a certain person goes, hey,
you really need to stop screaming into microphones.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, I mentioned that.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
This true is a factual thing that happened earlier this week.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
When people listen to you, guys that you don't know
where they are, and then you know, they invite you
or you're them into your conversation, They invite you into
their home.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
We don't want to scare them.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
It's an intimate relationship. You're their friends, and you are
now giving them all what they need to know for
Universal Halloween. Harn Night's thirty three.
