Speaker 1 (00:00):
We show from the theme park capital of.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
The World, Orlando, Florida.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is the Theme Park Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Wait podcast? Is this on radio? Why does everything gotta
be so messy on this station? Anyway? Here's your hosts Dickerman,
Jimmy d and Scott Harris.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Hey there, and welcome to the Theme Park Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Dickerman. Here there is Jimmy Dean Dickerman, May the Force
be with you, and Scott Harris.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Also you Scott Boring conversation anyways.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Hey, May the Fourth's coming up? Man, I know I'm
coming up pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I'm quoting Han Solo.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yes, that's Monday, this Monday, May the fourth.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah, I haven't decided what order I'm going to watch
the movies.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
I'm gonna throw it out there, start with one, go
through seven.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
No, let's get the crappy one at the end.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Oh, like nine.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
No. I think he's specifically talking about eight.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Oh the good one, that one and one of the
two good.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I was going to do the chainsaw method where it's
like two, three and then you like you ignore one completely.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
You mean the chain saw that Ryan Johnson used to
cut up that movie.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Hey, I can stop this recording right now.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Whoa, that's what the nerve is.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I can I can literally just this show can end
right now and I'll never see you guys again.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Don't you dare? Since we're talking about Star Wars, you
want to.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Start with that email for it started in my head?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, what do we have this year? Because it used
to I always felt like it was always a big
deal to go to Hollywood Studios I made the fourth?
Is it still that case? Is it still like a
big deal?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Well, there is some exclusive merchandise and one of them
being like they have a whole indoor collection that they're
doing this year, and then you have the actual May
the Fourth t shirts. But what everybody's really interested in
is the novelty stuff. The popcorn buckets and the protocol
(02:13):
Jerroid popcorn bucket has been confirmed. They actually had a
they did a whole skit with it rolling around Galaxy's
Edge earlier, so that's available. There is a Jaba sailing
barge which is a popcorn bucket. That's the shape of
his barge that like from the you know when they
(02:34):
you know when he dies essentially when he gets blown.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Up that bar spoilers.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, after forty.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Years, I don't think it's a spoiler anymore. It's just
common knowledge. Like if you don't know the Darth Vader
is Hans or Luke Skyworkers.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
He's hon Soul.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Yes, I didn't know about it. Yes, he was just
throwing it around like confetti. That sailing barge is actually
pretty cool because it's got a little door that opens
and there's a little job in there with a little
or two D two, a little C three PO and
salacious crumb and it's lit up, so it's kind of
got it. It's very cool looking, and I hope the
real thing looks as good as the imagery. The next
(03:12):
one is a bantha sipper, which I wonder if it's
gonna be full of bantha like the blue milk, because
that's bantha milk.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
But I think that would be logical, but you know
that's not always the case with these things.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Ogus Cantina is going to have a brand new tiki
mug as. Have you already booked your reservation?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Are you going also?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Have you cleared said purchase?
Speaker 4 (03:39):
No, it's one of those things I gotta you know,
I got a thread to needle and be delicate with this,
you know, I do.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I admittedly have a cup problem.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Well, okay, okay, I have a sitting as the first step.
I have a suggestion. You guys go to MGM Studios
and you walk around Galaxy's Edge and Galaxy That.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It's not at MGM Studios, it's only at Disney's Hollywood here.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And here's the thing I feel like in the state
of Florida right now, it is by my estimation, one
million degrees outside.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yes, that.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Today, and specifically when you're in Galaxy's Edge, it's like
two million degrees because there's zero shade.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
They had a lot of concrete.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
You walk by Oga's Cantina and you're just like, I'm
so parched. I need something to drink. There's air. I'm
heat stroked right now. We need to go in here
and get me some air conditioning and something to drink.
And that's the only drink that will quench your thirst.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It's the only one available to that day. They're out
of it.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Well, it's the it's the Camino Cooler. And if you're
familiar with Camino, that's where the clones were made.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
That's where rains all the time.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Yes, it rains here all the time. It's in it's
in quantity yeah, it could be such a Florida. Yeah,
when the ice caps melt, it is gonna be Florida.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
So it's perfect.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
And in that is actually dull pineapple juice, so I'm
excited about that.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
And it is a dj Rex mug. Oh you love
dj Rex. Oh my gosh. This is like Taylor made
for you.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
I know, the former pilot of the original version of
Star tours in a bug and these guys a little
turntables and it's a little set up there on the mug.
It's and it's orange based, the color orange my favorite color.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Lauren can't even say no to this one. She knows
they made it for you, I know.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
But I'm gonna be patient. I'm gonna tell how long
it's gonna be around, but I'm gonna be patient.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And then you gotta play the I'm about to pass
out card.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Maybe maybe I'll think about it.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
But the thing I'm really interested in they have recharged
lightsaber swizzle sticks, and that's the thing I want. In Disneyland,
you can just buy the swizzle sticks. In Orlando, you
got to buy the drink. And it's not out that.
There's a couple of different places that they have and
it's non alcohol you can get a non alcoholic drink.
But that's what I really want is the swizzle sticks.
(06:18):
That's what I'm after.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Do they have any Revenge of the Fifth merchandise this year?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
They do not.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Honestly, since since you and I went and got those
Revenge of the Fifth magic bands, I don't think I've
ever seen Revenge of the Fifth merch since then.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
And that wasn't very popular on when we did it.
I don't know what year was that was that fourteen,
It's like over a decade ago, so long ago. You
guys are really was we are? We're so old.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Isn't it crazy that magic bands are that old? Like
there are kids that don't know any like they don't
know Disney without magic bands.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah, that's true. You guys remember we tried to get
him at by camping out there.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I still don't understand that. You guys have told me
so many times that you were like, we have to
go camping to go get magic bands.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Only hotel guests forgetting them.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
So we were gonna get a campsite and we're gonna
put ten of us in the campsite and we get
ten magic bands.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yes, and then that was the most efficient way to
do it because A it was the cheapest spot you
could stay, which was just a camping campsite with it
had the max the most capacity, which was ten mm.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
And yeah, so that was that was what we were
gonna go with.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
And literally I think the week that we were like
had our master plan that it came out on the
app that you could just order it and all, uh,
all plans were abandoned.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yep, they came to your house in a beautiful box.
It's a wonderful thing.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well, you guys just kind of segued into two stories.
So pick U A or B of which segue you
want to go.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
To use your own adventure. Yeah, when you pick, I'm
gonna go with A just because it's first.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Okay, Well, speaking of Star Wars, don't forget later on
in the month of May, we're getting the new Millennium
Falcon Smugglers run featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu from the
TV show Mandalorian and Grogu and also the upcoming movie
The Mandalorian and Grogu.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
So we've got that this month. It's happening.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yes, I'm excited for that. I'm ready for that. It's
about time too.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
We've been waiting for an alternate scene on the Millennium
Falcon since the thing was launched in twenty nineteen. Yeah. Again,
that was basically the guys are so old you were, Scott?
Is there like that your actual age?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Is there actual proof of me with you guys?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah? I have pictures. I actually do have pictures.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Yeah, And it has the date on the little like
shield that I'm holding, and I look really bloated and
puffy in the face.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I forget. There was one time where I wasn't with
you guys. There was another where I was with you guys.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yeah, captured you this one like a bigfoot out in
the woods.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
It really was, because I think I actually was in
the one of the times I was already in the
park and met up with you guys. The other time
we all met up in the parking lot together.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I mean, you could crop yourself out like you did
that picture of me with Bell that.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
That did not I don't know what you're talking about,
crop me right out of the picture.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
The why didn't Why don't you want to be seeing
with us?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
The Disney photo pass person took a picture of me
and Bell. I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I was right there.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I know you were there, but the picture wasn't there.
You know, it wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Jimmy wasn't there. That's true.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
But but the other segue, magic Band Plus Disneyland looks
to be ending the sales of Magic Band Plus.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
They're giving up on They're gonna give up on the
Magic bands completely or just the plus.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Well, that's what they That's what it is now, that's all.
That's yeah, magic and like they still work, but you
can't buy magic band. You can buy magic band pluses now, Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Is that the same for us too? Can we only
buy magic band pluses? I don't understand how it works anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I think it's I think they're all just pluses now.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I haven't I haven't used a Magic band since I
got an Apple Watch. Like this doesn't mean anything kind
of to me anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
They're still special to me. I still I still appreciate them.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I remember the first one I got that was like
customized with Darth Vader on it.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
It's exciting.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
And Lauren loves to like she has the Duney and
Burke Dogs one and every time she goes through it
barks at her, so she yeah, she wants to skin
and listen to the.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Well, I've got that amazing Thanos one that you got me, Jimmy.
That's like the greatest magic band ever. It makes the
things spin in the rainbow colors of the of the
of the Infinity stones.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Well, what they should do is like I just have
like the figment on my watch. They should just make
it to where like you can just have a special
theme through.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
That I thought you could, No, that's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
But like he should be able to mister Hermit's be
able to have a Thanos you know whatever on his
you know, magic the Disney experience app like you know
how you can have like your Apple wallet to have
a specific thing. He should be able to have a
Thanos one and the same thing would happen when he
scans in or like Lauren could have like a Donye
(11:32):
and the Dog. So like it still continues that trend,
is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I see, like almost like when you like the digital copy,
Yeah exactly, But they're gonna make you pay for it,
because if it's gonna do something special for you and
something unique, you gotta pay for it.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I mean, it's fine, it's just money, like yeah, like
pigment right there, boom, my Little Guy fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Guy doesn't do anything figment related.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
When you scan it, the it lets me into the park.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Hmmm, that's nice feature.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I mean, I'll be honest. Most of the time, there's
like so much yelling going on around the front entrances
to the parks. I have no idea if it does
actually do anything.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
And honestly, they rarely have the sound turned up enough
to where it's audible. It's like you must have to
hold your ear to the speaker to hear it.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Make the thing. Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
And if you've ever seen me in the park by myself,
I'm wearing air pods anyway, so I'm not really listening now.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
You're just avoiding all human interaction at all possible times.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, I don't have to be aware of my surroundings.
If I don't have to be, you.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Know, her hand comes to you.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Scott is going to get the cyclops X Men nineteen
ninety seven. They have like the visor, they made the
visor for him. He's gonna get that. So you cannot
make I can't eye contact with him. And you cannot
hear you.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You're both of you to assume I'm not already wearing
sunglasses at all times anyways, if I could, I'd be
like I would be in a Marvel MCU disguise of
wearing a generic Plaine hat as well.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
The Captain America Plaine hat. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Yeah, Steve Rogers running now, that's stupid, Like, where do
you even in a plane hat?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Come on, Steve, we just look like us at a
baseball game. That's true. That's true. All right? Should we
move on to other items of note?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, are you guys ready for Mickey's Not So Scary
Halloween Party?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Always it it's it's May.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
It's just now May well, well, beginning May first, the
twenty twenty seven Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party kicks off.
Speaker 3 (13:43):

It officially begins August seventh this year, in August August,
beginning of August August seventh, it's almost July at this point, yes,
what the heck man? And it's already sold out. It's

Yes, we are six months away from Halloween.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Wow, and now we're already selling Not So Scary? So

Speaker 3 (14:46):
So if we're if we're doing not So Scary, how
long until Halloween Hornets goes on sale?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
You have a guess? Is there is there actual dates?
I thought we were just guessing at this point. I
saw Halloween candy already at Walgreens.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
That's not time for that.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Don't tell me.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Wait one member, Yeah, there's nothing else. There's nothing else
in between? Is there? Might as well just jump straight
to Halloween.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Well, I mean there's like fourth of July. It's apparently
like a big anniversary or something this year.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Yeah, it's only two hundred and fifty years of our
our great nation.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, America two fifty.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Are they renaming Mountain Dew this year, Scott? They are,
They're renaming American Do this year.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I don't like that. Fifty years.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
It's no, it's Mountain Dew. You'll rename you know, you
don't rename it.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
If you're gonna rename it, your rename it an American Do.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
No, you just leave it Mountain Do. When I go
to Taco Bell, I'm just gonna be like, yeah, I
want a Mountain Dew.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Damn. Sorry, I remember. Really have American Do?
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Do you remember in nineteen ninety nine everything was two thousand,
Like whatever the subject was, they just added the number
two thousand to the end of it.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah. Is that what July is going to be? Everything's
two fifty? Yeah? Or yeah America America.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Get me out of it, because I'm going to London
in July. You can buy single night tickets for Halloween
Hornets now happen. A few weeks ago we talked about
the on the show.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Jeez, I forgot, I forgot. Honestly, we're already selling Halloween
hornets tickets.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yes, remember, we already know a house.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
When does Christmas go on sale then? And we used
to putting Christmas on sale and.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I don't know jhy.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven Mickey's Very Merry
Christmas Party already sold out.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It's not true. We're going to listen to the show
and be like it's already sold out. They might as
well be they is on sale.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I joke, but it kind of is.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It's plausible. That's the problem. It is like your joke
is plausible. Yeah, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's it's an event that is wildly popular in sells out.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yeah, and it's literally it's like four hours in the
park for over one hundred bucks, and people eat it
up like it's candy.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Because because for one because for one you get free
candy and for you the other it's free hot chocolate
and sugar cookies.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
That is true. I have had the hot chocolate and
sugar crease before. That is nice.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I'm just saying, if they do like the Villain's Night
thing again with all you can eat ice cream, I'm.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Gonna have to get it get it back back. I
think they lost money on that one that year.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I have an idea because I feel like one member
of the show is approaching a milestone birthday in like December.
Somebody's hitting the big six to oh coming up? No,
I I think me and Jimmy not naming names of
who the person is, but I think me and Jimmy
(17:48):
need to come together to buy said person tickets to
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. In your disability pass
though and and will make it easier for you. We
will get you a one night's stay at porter Leans. Okay,
(18:11):
all right, the one that has the one that has
the beignet stand.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
No, I'm oh the Wilford Brimley. Hello, Wilford Brimley. Two words.
You don't want not the river side. You want the
French quarter, French quarter, diabetes. You want to you want.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
To wash your beignets down with hot chocolate.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
No, We're going to make sure that you have eye
contact from your from your balcony straight through the restaurant
the counter that has then.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
So you been there where they make the beignet's They
make them right in front of you. Yes, of course,
there in front of you.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Everything's covered in powdered sugar in that room. But yeah,
I know, have you ever been you know you you've
never been to New Orleans. No, you have been to
New Orleans?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Did you filthy? Filthy place? Yes, what.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Looks like somebody had like a sugar power powder party,
Like it is just dusted everywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I was only to the seedier parts of New Orleans.
So that's my experience at New Orleans, and it's it
smelled bad.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Do you want other good food news for Dickerman's diet.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Sure, let's hear it, because you know why not.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
We got two new milkshakes over at Magic Kingdom at
the Plaza Cookies and cream chocolate hazelnut.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Delicious, great great combo.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Over at CityWalk, Orlando Burger King. You're out here. The
Wopper Lounge gone.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Oh that thing that was always weird. That place was
weird anyhow. They only like had whoppers and it was
just weird. What are we what are we getting in?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Wait? Are we getting? Wait?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
You mean the place that was known as the Wopper
Lounge only had whoppers.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I know, it just felt weird. I didn't I didn't
care for it. I'm sorry, just it was uncover weird.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
It's going to be replaced by five guys Burgers and fries.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Mikay.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I mean, now, now five guys as expensive as it is,
how expensive is it going to be a universal? It's
like twenty bucks for a burger and fries there, Now,
how much it is gonna be universal?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
It's a little bit cheaper. They now actually have like
a deal if you get like a regular fry and
a regular drink. I think it's like it's like fourteen dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
So it's the point of going there without getting six
thousand million fries thrown into a paper bag.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
No, they still do that, The whole thing that they
do with the fries, they still do. They just made
it a deal, you know.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Yeah, but did they get a bag that will actually
hold up to the amount of grease that's dripping out
of those fries.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
That's why you got to eat that. You got to
eat the bag fries first, and then you eat the
cup fries.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
That grease eats through that bag like alien blood eats
through the you know, a space shuttle that's right through it.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
At what point are you supposed to beat that big
bag of peanuts they got sitting around there?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
No, No, that's like when you go to Texas Day Brazil.
That's like the bread you avoid it.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Oh, you don't eat the peanuts.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
No, I think you're both thinking Texas Roadhouse where you
just throw the shells on the floor.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
They do have peanuts there.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
They give you a nice little bag now, but five
guys has the giant three hundred pound bag of peanuts,
which I try and take with me.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
When you can't take that bag, why there, they give
you a little bucket that you could, like.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
What do you want that for? The peanuts?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, to eat over time if I ever get an elephant.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Just speaking of City Walk, the Legacy Store is back
at City Walk.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yes, but it's not quite the same.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
It's not quite the same. It's a little it's a
little disappointing, but it still has like props and merchandise
from past movies.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
So it's a scaled down version, is what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Well, the size is the same, it's just kind of
the theming is not the same.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Okay, yeah, they.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
It's they used to have the absolute best theming of
any theme park store in the world in that store,
and now they've kind of moved more towards the center
of like what most.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Why do they do that? Why don't we go backwards? Something?
Let's go back they did.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
They do have like some photo ops that are new
with you know, like modern artwork showing like Jaws and
there was I forget the other movies.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
But call Ghostbusters, back to the Future, some you know Marquee,
you know Evergreen brands.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But it's just not the same.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Like when when that store first opened up, it was
just like like you walked through and going oh oh,
because you saw like all these different props and things
from different rides and from movies, and it was just
it was really fun. And now it's it's the same,
but just Ofvanella version, okay, a diet version.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Speaking of food, food and Wine festival also beginning at
the end of August.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Okay, all right, So I mean it's just a continuation
though of whatever the festival was before it.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
And speaking of EPCOT, they have released an hour long
ambiance video of living with the Land. Is that to
go to sleep to whatever you want? It's on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Sounds very relaxing.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
It doesn't have the voiceover, but the only sound effect
that I did hear besides the music is you can
hear the dog barking on the front porch.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
It's an important sound living with the land. I did
want to hear about the Mighty Buffalo though, because that's
one of the most important lines in the In the
thing too.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
There's no vo, it's just the music and.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Then and you can't hear the splash splash of Dickerman
trying to hurl dinner rolls at Jimmy and I when
he's at the Gordon Grill.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
All you care, might as well share with the boys. Yeah,
all right, boys, Well we are just about out of time.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Hey, May the Fourth's coming up? Man, I know I'm
coming up pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I'm quoting Han Solo.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yes, that's Monday, this Monday, May the fourth.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah, I haven't decided what order I'm going to watch
the movies.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
I'm gonna throw it out there, start with one, go
through seven.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
No, let's get the crappy one at the end.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Oh, like nine.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
No. I think he's specifically talking about eight.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Oh the good one, that one and one of the
two good.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
I was going to do the chainsaw method where it's
like two, three and then you like you ignore one completely.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
You mean the chain saw that Ryan Johnson used to
cut up that movie.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Hey, I can stop this recording right now.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Whoa, that's what the nerve is.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I can I can literally just this show can end
right now and I'll never see you guys again.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Don't you dare? Since we're talking about Star Wars, you
want to.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Start with that email for it started in my head?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, what do we have this year? Because it used
to I always felt like it was always a big
deal to go to Hollywood Studios I made the fourth?
Is it still that case? Is it still like a
big deal?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Well, there is some exclusive merchandise and one of them
being like they have a whole indoor collection that they're
doing this year, and then you have the actual May
the Fourth t shirts. But what everybody's really interested in
is the novelty stuff. The popcorn buckets and the protocol
(02:13):
Jerroid popcorn bucket has been confirmed. They actually had a
they did a whole skit with it rolling around Galaxy's
Edge earlier, so that's available. There is a Jaba sailing
barge which is a popcorn bucket. That's the shape of
his barge that like from the you know when they
(02:34):
you know when he dies essentially when he gets blown.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Up that bar spoilers.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah, after forty.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Years, I don't think it's a spoiler anymore. It's just
common knowledge. Like if you don't know the Darth Vader
is Hans or Luke Skyworkers.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
He's hon Soul.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Yes, I didn't know about it. Yes, he was just
throwing it around like confetti. That sailing barge is actually
pretty cool because it's got a little door that opens
and there's a little job in there with a little
or two D two, a little C three PO and
salacious crumb and it's lit up, so it's kind of
got it. It's very cool looking, and I hope the
real thing looks as good as the imagery. The next
(03:12):
one is a bantha sipper, which I wonder if it's
gonna be full of bantha like the blue milk, because
that's bantha milk.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
But I think that would be logical, but you know
that's not always the case with these things.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Ogus Cantina is going to have a brand new tiki
mug as. Have you already booked your reservation?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Are you going also?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Have you cleared said purchase?
Speaker 4 (03:39):
No, it's one of those things I gotta you know,
I got a thread to needle and be delicate with this,
you know, I do.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I admittedly have a cup problem.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Well, okay, okay, I have a sitting as the first step.
I have a suggestion. You guys go to MGM Studios
and you walk around Galaxy's Edge and Galaxy That.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
It's not at MGM Studios, it's only at Disney's Hollywood here.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And here's the thing I feel like in the state
of Florida right now, it is by my estimation, one
million degrees outside.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yes, that.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Today, and specifically when you're in Galaxy's Edge, it's like
two million degrees because there's zero shade.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
They had a lot of concrete.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
You walk by Oga's Cantina and you're just like, I'm
so parched. I need something to drink. There's air. I'm
heat stroked right now. We need to go in here
and get me some air conditioning and something to drink.
And that's the only drink that will quench your thirst.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It's the only one available to that day. They're out
of it.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Well, it's the it's the Camino Cooler. And if you're
familiar with Camino, that's where the clones were made.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
That's where rains all the time.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Yes, it rains here all the time. It's in it's
in quantity yeah, it could be such a Florida. Yeah,
when the ice caps melt, it is gonna be Florida.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
So it's perfect.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
And in that is actually dull pineapple juice, so I'm
excited about that.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
And it is a dj Rex mug. Oh you love
dj Rex. Oh my gosh. This is like Taylor made
for you.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
I know, the former pilot of the original version of
Star tours in a bug and these guys a little
turntables and it's a little set up there on the mug.
It's and it's orange based, the color orange my favorite color.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Lauren can't even say no to this one. She knows
they made it for you, I know.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
But I'm gonna be patient. I'm gonna tell how long
it's gonna be around, but I'm gonna be patient.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
And then you gotta play the I'm about to pass
out card.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Maybe maybe I'll think about it.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
But the thing I'm really interested in they have recharged
lightsaber swizzle sticks, and that's the thing I want. In Disneyland,
you can just buy the swizzle sticks. In Orlando, you
got to buy the drink. And it's not out that.
There's a couple of different places that they have and
it's non alcohol you can get a non alcoholic drink.
But that's what I really want is the swizzle sticks.
(06:18):
That's what I'm after.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Do they have any Revenge of the Fifth merchandise this year?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
They do not.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Honestly, since since you and I went and got those
Revenge of the Fifth magic bands, I don't think I've
ever seen Revenge of the Fifth merch since then.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
And that wasn't very popular on when we did it.
I don't know what year was that was that fourteen,
It's like over a decade ago, so long ago. You
guys are really was we are? We're so old.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Isn't it crazy that magic bands are that old? Like
there are kids that don't know any like they don't
know Disney without magic bands.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Yeah, that's true. You guys remember we tried to get
him at by camping out there.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I still don't understand that. You guys have told me
so many times that you were like, we have to
go camping to go get magic bands.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Only hotel guests forgetting them.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
So we were gonna get a campsite and we're gonna
put ten of us in the campsite and we get
ten magic bands.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yes, and then that was the most efficient way to
do it because A it was the cheapest spot you
could stay, which was just a camping campsite with it
had the max the most capacity, which was ten mm.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
And yeah, so that was that was what we were
gonna go with.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
And literally I think the week that we were like
had our master plan that it came out on the
app that you could just order it and all, uh,
all plans were abandoned.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Yep, they came to your house in a beautiful box.
It's a wonderful thing.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well, you guys just kind of segued into two stories.
So pick U A or B of which segue you
want to go.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
To use your own adventure. Yeah, when you pick, I'm
gonna go with A just because it's first.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Okay, Well, speaking of Star Wars, don't forget later on
in the month of May, we're getting the new Millennium
Falcon Smugglers run featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu from the
TV show Mandalorian and Grogu and also the upcoming movie
The Mandalorian and Grogu.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
So we've got that this month. It's happening.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Yes, I'm excited for that. I'm ready for that. It's
about time too.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
We've been waiting for an alternate scene on the Millennium
Falcon since the thing was launched in twenty nineteen. Yeah. Again,
that was basically the guys are so old you were, Scott?
Is there like that your actual age?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Is there actual proof of me with you guys?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah? I have pictures. I actually do have pictures.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Yeah, And it has the date on the little like
shield that I'm holding, and I look really bloated and
puffy in the face.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I forget. There was one time where I wasn't with
you guys. There was another where I was with you guys.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Yeah, captured you this one like a bigfoot out in
the woods.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
It really was, because I think I actually was in
the one of the times I was already in the
park and met up with you guys. The other time
we all met up in the parking lot together.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I mean, you could crop yourself out like you did
that picture of me with Bell that.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
That did not I don't know what you're talking about,
crop me right out of the picture.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
The why didn't Why don't you want to be seeing
with us?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
The Disney photo pass person took a picture of me
and Bell. I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I was right there.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I know you were there, but the picture wasn't there.
You know, it wasn't there.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Jimmy wasn't there. That's true.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
But but the other segue, magic Band Plus Disneyland looks
to be ending the sales of Magic Band Plus.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
They're giving up on They're gonna give up on the
Magic bands completely or just the plus.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Well, that's what they That's what it is now, that's all.
That's yeah, magic and like they still work, but you
can't buy magic band. You can buy magic band pluses now, Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Is that the same for us too? Can we only
buy magic band pluses? I don't understand how it works anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I think it's I think they're all just pluses now.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I haven't I haven't used a Magic band since I
got an Apple Watch. Like this doesn't mean anything kind
of to me anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
They're still special to me. I still I still appreciate them.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I remember the first one I got that was like
customized with Darth Vader on it.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
It's exciting.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
And Lauren loves to like she has the Duney and
Burke Dogs one and every time she goes through it
barks at her, so she yeah, she wants to skin
and listen to the.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Well, I've got that amazing Thanos one that you got me, Jimmy.
That's like the greatest magic band ever. It makes the
things spin in the rainbow colors of the of the
of the Infinity stones.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Well, what they should do is like I just have
like the figment on my watch. They should just make
it to where like you can just have a special
theme through.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
That I thought you could, No, that's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
But like he should be able to mister Hermit's be
able to have a Thanos you know whatever on his
you know, magic the Disney experience app like you know
how you can have like your Apple wallet to have
a specific thing. He should be able to have a
Thanos one and the same thing would happen when he
scans in or like Lauren could have like a Donye
(11:32):
and the Dog. So like it still continues that trend,
is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I see, like almost like when you like the digital copy,
Yeah exactly, But they're gonna make you pay for it,
because if it's gonna do something special for you and
something unique, you gotta pay for it.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
I mean, it's fine, it's just money, like yeah, like
pigment right there, boom, my Little Guy fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Guy doesn't do anything figment related.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
When you scan it, the it lets me into the park.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Hmmm, that's nice feature.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I mean, I'll be honest. Most of the time, there's
like so much yelling going on around the front entrances
to the parks. I have no idea if it does
actually do anything.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
And honestly, they rarely have the sound turned up enough
to where it's audible. It's like you must have to
hold your ear to the speaker to hear it.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Make the thing. Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
And if you've ever seen me in the park by myself,
I'm wearing air pods anyway, so I'm not really listening now.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
You're just avoiding all human interaction at all possible times.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, I don't have to be aware of my surroundings.
If I don't have to be, you.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Know, her hand comes to you.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Scott is going to get the cyclops X Men nineteen
ninety seven. They have like the visor, they made the
visor for him. He's gonna get that. So you cannot
make I can't eye contact with him. And you cannot
hear you.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You're both of you to assume I'm not already wearing
sunglasses at all times anyways, if I could, I'd be
like I would be in a Marvel MCU disguise of
wearing a generic Plaine hat as well.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
The Captain America Plaine hat. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Yeah, Steve Rogers running now, that's stupid, Like, where do
you even in a plane hat?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Come on, Steve, we just look like us at a
baseball game. That's true. That's true. All right? Should we
move on to other items of note?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, are you guys ready for Mickey's Not So Scary
Halloween Party?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Always it it's it's May.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
It's just now May well, well, beginning May first, the
twenty twenty seven Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party kicks off.
Speaker 3 (13:43):

Yeah, but August seventh, I mean we're almost We're just
sitting in July at this point. It's it's summer nights,
a wet and wild. Right now, we're selling the Halloween

Speaker 1 (14:24):

It's halfway to Halloween. You're suppose to be watching your
spooky movies right now this weekend.
Speaker 2 (14:34):

Yes, we are six months away from Halloween.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Wow, and now we're already selling Not So Scary? So
when does it when?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
So if we're if we're doing not So Scary, how
long until Halloween Hornets goes on sale?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
You have a guess? Is there is there actual dates?
I thought we were just guessing at this point. I
saw Halloween candy already at Walgreens.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
That's not time for that.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Don't tell me.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Wait one member, Yeah, there's nothing else. There's nothing else
in between? Is there? Might as well just jump straight
to Halloween.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Well, I mean there's like fourth of July. It's apparently
like a big anniversary or something this year.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Yeah, it's only two hundred and fifty years of our
our great nation.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, America two fifty.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Are they renaming Mountain Dew this year, Scott? They are,
They're renaming American Do this year.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I don't like that. Fifty years.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
It's no, it's Mountain Dew. You'll rename you know, you
don't rename it.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
If you're gonna rename it, your rename it an American Do.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
No, you just leave it Mountain Do. When I go
to Taco Bell, I'm just gonna be like, yeah, I
want a Mountain Dew.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Damn. Sorry, I remember. Really have American Do?
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Do you remember in nineteen ninety nine everything was two thousand,
Like whatever the subject was, they just added the number
two thousand to the end of it.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah. Is that what July is going to be? Everything's
two fifty? Yeah? Or yeah America America.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Get me out of it, because I'm going to London
in July. You can buy single night tickets for Halloween
Hornets now happen. A few weeks ago we talked about
the on the show.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Jeez, I forgot, I forgot. Honestly, we're already selling Halloween
hornets tickets.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yes, remember, we already know a house.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
When does Christmas go on sale then? And we used
to putting Christmas on sale and.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I don't know jhy.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven Mickey's Very Merry
Christmas Party already sold out.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It's not true. We're going to listen to the show
and be like it's already sold out. They might as
well be they is on sale.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I joke, but it kind of is.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
It's plausible. That's the problem. It is like your joke
is plausible. Yeah, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's it's an event that is wildly popular in sells out.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Yeah, and it's literally it's like four hours in the
park for over one hundred bucks, and people eat it
up like it's candy.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Because because for one because for one you get free
candy and for you the other it's free hot chocolate
and sugar cookies.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
That is true. I have had the hot chocolate and
sugar crease before. That is nice.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
I'm just saying, if they do like the Villain's Night
thing again with all you can eat ice cream, I'm.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Gonna have to get it get it back back. I
think they lost money on that one that year.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I have an idea because I feel like one member
of the show is approaching a milestone birthday in like December.
Somebody's hitting the big six to oh coming up? No,
I I think me and Jimmy not naming names of
who the person is, but I think me and Jimmy
(17:48):
need to come together to buy said person tickets to
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. In your disability pass
though and and will make it easier for you. We
will get you a one night's stay at porter Leans. Okay,
(18:11):
all right, the one that has the one that has
the beignet stand.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
No, I'm oh the Wilford Brimley. Hello, Wilford Brimley. Two words.
You don't want not the river side. You want the
French quarter, French quarter, diabetes. You want to you want.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
To wash your beignets down with hot chocolate.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
No, We're going to make sure that you have eye
contact from your from your balcony straight through the restaurant
the counter that has then.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
So you been there where they make the beignet's They
make them right in front of you. Yes, of course,
there in front of you.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Everything's covered in powdered sugar in that room. But yeah,
I know, have you ever been you know you you've
never been to New Orleans. No, you have been to
New Orleans?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Did you filthy? Filthy place? Yes, what.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Looks like somebody had like a sugar power powder party,
Like it is just dusted everywhere.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I was only to the seedier parts of New Orleans.
So that's my experience at New Orleans, and it's it
smelled bad.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Do you want other good food news for Dickerman's diet.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Sure, let's hear it, because you know why not.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
We got two new milkshakes over at Magic Kingdom at
the Plaza Cookies and cream chocolate hazelnut.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Delicious, great great combo.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Over at CityWalk, Orlando Burger King. You're out here. The
Wopper Lounge gone.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Oh that thing that was always weird. That place was
weird anyhow. They only like had whoppers and it was
just weird. What are we what are we getting in?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Wait? Are we getting? Wait?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
You mean the place that was known as the Wopper
Lounge only had whoppers.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I know, it just felt weird. I didn't I didn't
care for it. I'm sorry, just it was uncover weird.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
It's going to be replaced by five guys Burgers and fries.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Mikay.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I mean, now, now five guys as expensive as it is,
how expensive is it going to be a universal? It's
like twenty bucks for a burger and fries there, Now,
how much it is gonna be universal?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
It's a little bit cheaper. They now actually have like
a deal if you get like a regular fry and
a regular drink. I think it's like it's like fourteen dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
So it's the point of going there without getting six
thousand million fries thrown into a paper bag.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
No, they still do that, The whole thing that they
do with the fries, they still do. They just made
it a deal, you know.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Yeah, but did they get a bag that will actually
hold up to the amount of grease that's dripping out
of those fries.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
That's why you got to eat that. You got to
eat the bag fries first, and then you eat the
cup fries.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
That grease eats through that bag like alien blood eats
through the you know, a space shuttle that's right through it.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
At what point are you supposed to beat that big
bag of peanuts they got sitting around there?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
No, No, that's like when you go to Texas Day Brazil.
That's like the bread you avoid it.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Oh, you don't eat the peanuts.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
No, I think you're both thinking Texas Roadhouse where you
just throw the shells on the floor.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
They do have peanuts there.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
They give you a nice little bag now, but five
guys has the giant three hundred pound bag of peanuts,
which I try and take with me.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
When you can't take that bag, why there, they give
you a little bucket that you could, like.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
What do you want that for? The peanuts?
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Yeah, to eat over time if I ever get an elephant.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Just speaking of City Walk, the Legacy Store is back
at City Walk.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Yes, but it's not quite the same.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
It's not quite the same. It's a little it's a
little disappointing, but it still has like props and merchandise
from past movies.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
So it's a scaled down version, is what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Well, the size is the same, it's just kind of
the theming is not the same.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Okay, yeah, they.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
It's they used to have the absolute best theming of
any theme park store in the world in that store,
and now they've kind of moved more towards the center
of like what most.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Why do they do that? Why don't we go backwards? Something?
Let's go back they did.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
They do have like some photo ops that are new
with you know, like modern artwork showing like Jaws and
there was I forget the other movies.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
But call Ghostbusters, back to the Future, some you know Marquee,
you know Evergreen brands.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
But it's just not the same.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Like when when that store first opened up, it was
just like like you walked through and going oh oh,
because you saw like all these different props and things
from different rides and from movies, and it was just
it was really fun. And now it's it's the same,
but just Ofvanella version, okay, a diet version.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Speaking of food, food and Wine festival also beginning at
the end of August.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Okay, all right, So I mean it's just a continuation
though of whatever the festival was before it.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
And speaking of EPCOT, they have released an hour long
ambiance video of living with the Land. Is that to
go to sleep to whatever you want? It's on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Sounds very relaxing.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
It doesn't have the voiceover, but the only sound effect
that I did hear besides the music is you can
hear the dog barking on the front porch.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
It's an important sound living with the land. I did
want to hear about the Mighty Buffalo though, because that's
one of the most important lines in the In the
thing too.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
There's no vo, it's just the music and.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Then and you can't hear the splash splash of Dickerman
trying to hurl dinner rolls at Jimmy and I when
he's at the Gordon Grill.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
All you care, might as well share with the boys. Yeah,
all right, boys, Well we are just about out of time.
