Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah No, that's like a comfort movie for me. I
don't know what that says about me.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Maybe we should talk about theme parks instead of this
ter mummy movie.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Maybe we need to talk about mental health.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Well that's a that's a conversation. We could have weekly
Jimmy between all three of us.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
But what do you mean. I have watched three hundred
and thirty four movies as of this recording this year.
I'm doing great.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
That's a lot of movies. Pal, that's the uncomfortable amount
of movies. You need to go to Disney.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
You need to become my Lexa bro Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Well, first up, I have I have two Dickerman's. Actually,
this is like, this is like if I didn't know better,
it's Dickerman's birthday. With how much dickerman centric news there.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Is way that was December. Let's hear it. I'll take it.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Melby a manatee rescued from a storm drain in Melbourne
Beach returns to Florida Waters after rehabilitation at SeaWorld Orlando.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
They do wonderful work at SeaWorld Orlando with the manatees
when they get rescued. And this poor little guy, he
was stuck in a storm drain and then they got
him and they got him healed up, and now he's
back out into the wild.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yep, yep, Melby is back home.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Scott.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
What do you think he sounded like stuck in that
drain pipe?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Guys, we found the perfect house. Oh I know that
house and Crystal River and Crystal River the manatees come
right up to it. How much was it three million?
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Jimmy, Yeah, it was like three point three million dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
And well what it was is it was like right
on a canal, and the canal had like going around
to the end of their property basically like dead ended
into like the front yard of their property, and the
manatees would just hang out there because that was the
warmest spot in the whole spring. So basically, if you
live in this house, you go outside and there's like
ten manatees during the winter time just.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Hanging out in One member of the show loves manatees
in does it buy this house? Well, no one one
specifically brings a manatee themed cup to show to other
manatees thirst breaker.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yes, look, it's three million dollars. If anybody wants to
give me three million dollars to buy the house, you
can come visit any time you want.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Check it out.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
We could turn it into like an Airbnb. I'm sure
somebody's already thinking of that. Oh, I'm sure we are
taking a premium.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
No no, no, no no no no. Dickerman buys the house
mm hmm and then just and then just charge his
admission for people to go see the manatees.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
The three million dollar price tag is going to be
a sticking point for me, Like, here's okay, okay, let
me let me pitch you on this ticket to see
the manatess.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Three million dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
What hell? That's who's gonna buy that?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Another man eatee lover like you.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
That's a lot of money. They better be rich. It
better be like Bill Gates or really un Musk or something.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Okay, okay, okay, one ticket one point five million dollars.
That way, it could be two people.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
I heard Richard Branson is a huge manatee guy.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well, maybe he wants to come into my house.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah see.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Or if maybe the one of these rich guys just
wants to buy it but doesn't want to live there
because they you know, they have other places to be.
I can live there and they can come whenever they need.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
You want to be a housekeeper.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Well, let me ask you guys something.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
So when those manatees come on to property, they are
they're on private property?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Are those your manatees?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, the state's not going to let you do that. Buddy.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Did you learn nothing from the beginning of Supertroopers when
they talk about owning beachfront property and somebody trips in
the sand?
Speaker 5 (05:24):
You boys like Mexico exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Super Troopers was an educational film. Snasbars like Snosbar's.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I was talking about super Troop persition with somebody. Okay,
other other.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Dickerman returned to the theme part.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Other Dickerman news SeaWorld will make an update to Expedition
Odyssey less than a year after its debut.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Okay, I've written that ride. I think, yes, I wrote
that ride. It's like Soren.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yes, Well, now it will become Expedition Odyssey Fire and Ice.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Oh what are we? What are we doing? New scenes?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
New scenes?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Are we going to Westroas? Take note? There's this little
old bitty Sea World over here, and they're they're already
updating their scenes. And we've been waiting for how long
for the update to uh to the Millennium Falcon Ride.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Look that change is coming in six weeks.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Yeah, we're getting that.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, I know, it just took a long time. SeaWorld
like a year and like, all, let's change it up, guys.
Sea Rope just wants to change stuff all the time.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Have you seen the May of the fourth? Merchandise at
Disney has dropped like a Java's sailing barge where the
side opens up and you can see Java in like
his court and it lights up. You can that's a
popcorn bucket.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
You can get see the three head as a popcorn bucket.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
You can get a ton tan as a popcorn bucket.
They got a brand new uh mug at Ogu's canteena
which is DJ Rex. Then you they have swizzle sticks
that are going to be in like the non alcoholic drinks,
so you could have a lightsaber, light up, reusable swizzle stick.
All of it Disneyland, California.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Of course it is. Are popcorn buckets still like a
big thing?
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Well, if theme parks and movie theaters are any indicator
they think they are.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
What are you gonna do with all that plastic? Like
I've got the millennium falcons still sitting around like, I
don't know what to do with this thing. It's just
hanging up in the house. I'm like, I gotta get
rid of this. It's just taking up space.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well how about this. Can I sell you on an
upcoming popcorn bucket that will be in theaters. It can
either be a hat or a popcorn bucket?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
All right? Now, you got me. You got me curious
because I do like a multipurpose.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
I have a guess.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I have a guess.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Is it the Hail Mary helmet?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
No, okay, no it is it is it is Michael
Jackson's hat.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Oh boy, that's problematic, that is it? Or criminal?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yes, it's that.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Are we just gonna forgive this? Are we just gonna
say we're gonna make a movie for this guy, and
we're gonna forget about all the all the red flags there.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
You've paid attention to zero of the production of this movie.
Where they had to reshoot the entire third act.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, I did not. I know nothing.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I'll tell you about that off air.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Okay, that's not appropriate for this audience.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
No, it just has It's not that it's just worth
the park show. Yes, it's it's public. It's public knowledge.
It's public knowledge, like what what happened with the production
of this movie?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Other other Dickerman news. Uh, Disney is going to be
doing forty discounts uh during the summer at Walt disney World.
Four passolders.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Oh, passolders. I am not one right now. I was
through July thirty. First. It's sele like restaurants, and so
they're they're really trying to do something for now. This
is historically they haven't done a ton for passolders, right,
I mean not like you see for SeaWorld or even Universal.
A lot of times they're like, you're lucky to have it.
Don't talk back, kind of like when you work in radio.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Yeah I would.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I would be.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Uh, that's a fair assessment because I felt that way
as a Disney annual pass holder, especially when I see
like all the cool stuff that like Scott would get
to do, and like all this like the eras you
would get at SeaWorld, and I'd be the Disney guy
over here with a well god, no, magniet.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, so what restaurants are we talking about?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Forty percent are pretty decent clip Off Food.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Well, first of all, twenty percent at Beer Guest or
Crystal Palace.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Both would love both those places.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
You could understand why those are only twenty percent. The
fact that you're getting a discount there for the first
time ever.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
It is pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, some of the forty percent. Okay, guarding grill.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
That's a great one. It's a moving one. Inside of Ebcot.
That's a fun one. Yeah. You get visitors at your
table too while you.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Spin, and you could do that for lunch or dinner.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Visitors like the server coming to see how you're doing.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
No, you get to see Donald Duck I think chipping
down swing by all sorts of people, and you're getting fresh,
fresh stuff right from the garden there.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Correct me if I'm wrong. Don't they come in like
the little farmer outfits too?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yes? Yes, okay, yep, Oh.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yeah, this is a good one. This is like the
one time you spent money at a theme park.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, I went there twice. As a matter of fact.
And if you go worry about spinning and you can't
even tell it spinning, it goes very slow.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Yeah, it takes a whole hour to do a complete revolution.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
If you're on Living with the Land boat ride and
you get to that point where there's like the little
crocodiles in the water and like the waterfall, look up
into your left and you will see the edge of
the revolving restaurants.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Oh yeah, Jimmy and I were supposed to ride Living
with the Land and you were gonna throw his dinner rolls.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
That's right, you're supposed to fire because it all you
can eat or you care to eat, and it's you
know there, don't sleep on the dessert there.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That's just desserts. Excellent there. Yeah, it's it's really good.
Well everything, I enjoyed everything.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
There another all you care to enjoy Whispering Cannon Cafe
brunch and dinner.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
That's a good one too. I've actually done that one
as well. That's a boat ride away from the park too,
so you can boat ride from there over a Magic Kingdom.
Yeah yeah, and that's what in Fort Wilderness right.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
For Wilderness Lodge.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yes, yeah, I love that area over there. It's just
a great spot.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
And that's what they mean to you.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Oh, for Wilderness and Fort's Lodge are very different things,
so don't Maybe I'm confused.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
There's two of those over there, so I've been to
one of them, and I don't know if it's this
one or the other one. I did the other.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
One, well, but the lodge is kind of like the
fancier one.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Oh, that went to the other one. Yeah, you went
to the campgrounds.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, yeah, where they have another all all you care
to eat place. It's a similar name. I can't remember it.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Here's the thing when we went, we went to Fort
Wilderness first, and they're like, nope, it's not this. I
feel like it's like a rite of passage. Everyone goes
to the wrong one first.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah. Yeah, Like I still don't know the didas between
the Swan and the Dolphin. Like we go over to
Kimonos to take my daughter for karaoke, I don't know
if it's Swallen Swan or Dolphin. It's one of them.
I never know.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Those are at least connected.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Yeah, if you stay name, yeah, but you you start
to get in the car or take a puss, Like
if you go to Dolphin and you're like supposed to
be at Swan.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
It's like it's a four second walk across the breezeway.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's true.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, like if you go to if you go to
Fort Wilderness and you're at the lodge, like you can't
just walk over to the next one.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah, and all you care to eat at the campgrounds
is the hoopy doo review.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
No, I didn't do that one. You do that one?
I didn't. Maybe I did Scott's. I don't know what's
that one called against.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Scott Whispering Canyon Cafe.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Pretty sure I did that one. Must have gone over
to the the launch.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I'd rather not admit how many Mickey Mouse shaped waffles
I had that day.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
If you're a vegetarian, I don't recommend it because my
wife was vegetarian at the time we went, and they
have like the vegetarian option was gross.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Oh, I really know. I got some. I got the
one of us.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Got jackfruit or something and make something out of jackfruit.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, we got the fruit.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I was gonna say it was really good. You couldnot
tell tell the difference.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I could. It was not barbecue. Friends, don't let these
guys fool you. You're going for pulled pork and you
eat jackfruit, you're gonna know the difference.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
No, no, no, I'm wrong, no offense, but you you
are wrong.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Trust hiking nugget man over here and listen, don't eat
that jack fruit.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
You don't exactly have the most advanced palate. So I
am not going to trust you with anything with food.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
There are other people out there like me right now
shaking their head going I'm not gonna eat that jacket fruit.
If I want pulled pork, I'm getting pulled pork.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Speaking of Dickerman's diet, just so you guys know, I
know it's taking us off a little bit. At Costco
right now, they have the gigantic bag of the Harry
Potter Butter Beer Limited Edition Goldfish. What it's like, Yes,
it's like, oh my god, I can't even explain to
you how big it is. And then the gigantic bag
of the the smart pop Is that what it is?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah? Oh, the Harry Potter popcorn. I don't like that. Yes,
the Goldfisher fire though the goldfish are so good. Yes,
Well tell you about the pop bag.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
The popcorn was you had to eat like two handfuls
at once to really get the taste of it.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah, they need to like soak that stuff in the
butter beer stuff. Come on, quit being cheap, you guys.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I think you need to try it again because I
think they got they took notes because this bag has
been delicious, okay, And I keep telling myself, I got
to eat it quickly because otherwise it's going to go stale.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Remember your house and just get a handful.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Remember dicerent, you have to open the bag first, and then.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yeah, open for consuming. They have an and the bag.
So I know that you're the reason.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Yes, And I swear to God you were such like
you were like a dog that ate a whole bag
of Hershey Kisses with the rippers on.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
That would not feel good coming out.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Other other potential discount news and this is this is
more of a wait with the other restaurants.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
You want to want to fire them off super quick.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
The forty hang on beer garden, Beer garden restaurant, Good
Coral Reef restaurant. I've heard that's mixed Hollywood and vine good.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Been there, Tiffins, haven't done that one.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Tippins is in Animal Kingdom.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
That's didn't you go on the porch and like one time,
it's like the Nomad Lounge. It's a great spot to
just like get a quick bite and they have churros.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
You're like, I like Tusker House restaurant.
Speaker 1 (15:58):

I don't know that one, but it sounds good, all right,
at all those spots this starting in May, Yes.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
And you love Seafiger, so that's probably top of your
your wish list.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
It's different.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Boat Rights is at your favorite Disney Portal Orleans.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Oh, I love Portal Orleans. Great spot. You do stay
away from the beignets if you're on a diet, though, kids,
Why because you'll you'll get hooked and then you're you'll
be fat.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I can eat Vignet's and nothing happens.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I eat Vignet's and I have problem.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Okay. Some other potential is that there's talk hm according
to a survey and mind you these surveys that Universal
Studios releases says, uh, these are confidential. I have not
gotten an email about this, so this does not this
is nothing that involves me. You're confidence, I am not breaking.
(17:25):
I am not bringing up Yeah, exactly something. Yeah, people
keep doing this where they get these emails. The first
page says confidential. But there's talk that Universal is exploring
annual pass discounts for current Disney World passholders.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
What what? What is what is going on there? What
sort of craziness are we looking at?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Is it going to be retroprocity or however you say
that word where they'll do it at both?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
No? No, no, no, like, hey you've got to pass,
we'll give you some good perks to come over here.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Oh this is this is like you know, acquisition, This
is an acquisition. Play. Hey, I see you're over there
at Disney and you know she's a pretty girl, but
over here, this girl cooks as well.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
And that the way he said that, it was not
like I mean It's not like you could take your
annual pass and no no in there, No no no.
It's not like they're going to pay off your cell
phone and they're.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Trying to get you to come and sample it. So
you go and sample and you say, hey, I had
a better experience here. Maybe I'll switch my annual passing
to this park alone.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
But remember it's annual passes are only four three of
the four theme parks at Universal Orlando res are.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
There's only three theme parks there. There's only two theme
parks there. I'm sorr, are you tricked to me?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Well, when they come to their annual passes, it's different.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
A water park is not a theme park. It's a
water park.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Look, if the other ones want to include their water parks,
they can.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
No.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
We also got news big Thunder Mountain when it will
be opening after it's sixteen month refurbishment.
Speaker 1 (18:59):

of great memories on that one. May third, that's quick,

World has lowered the hype requirement for Big Thunder Mountain.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Oh so you can be little or no took. We
took my daughter on there quite a bit when she
was little, and back then we could all three fit
in one row. That didn't last long.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Well it's going from forty inches to thirty eight inches.
Speaker 1 (19:40):

some kids. Hey, kids are gonna be celebrating.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Know that is correct.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I love that ride. It's a good coaster, it's fun.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
And you know what, if you watch Inside the Attractions
on Disney Plus, there's like a whole episode about the
different thunder Mountains that they have across the Disney parks.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I did have one grip about Big thunder Mountain, and
it's the line split. It's always chaos. You know where
it splits and you have to choose a side for
a train. It's always just madness there.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
That's why you choose go left. You choose left? Why
because people instinctively go right? Okay, I mean one of
moves faster too. Why don't they take a different turn?
It's very confusing. I need to see the math behind this.
I need to see some numbers.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
By the way, have you such a gen X thing
to say?
Speaker 3 (20:40):
By the way, I don't know if you guys have
seen this. The social media wave that has occurred about
the Born stunt Tacular show. Oh so they Universal Orlando
has been has a sign like like an a frame sign.
It's like further out in the street of the showtime
for the Boorn Scentacular.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Okay, so people.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Are photoshopping it like at other theme parks, at Epic Universe,
at City Walk on the Moon the Artemists two saw
the sign on the moon.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Born. I've not seen this, this.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
U this phenomenon that's going on, and people are we
ever go.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
To that show? Can you guys remind me if we
did that? I know we tried once and failed. Did
we did we eventually make it?
Speaker 5 (21:26):
We have all seen the show and you actually liked it.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Okay, thanks for remembering, because I sure dot.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
The thing is. It's it's good. It's just I don't
have the same feeling of wanting to do it again
that I did with t two three D Battle Across.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Time, doesn't love T two Terminators great? Like we're living
through it.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
That's the thing, like like like like I was impressed
with what they did. I thought the screens and everything.
It's just what I feel felt from the Terminator one
was completely different.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, Terminator's time, you know, and as we as we
continue to see the advancements in AI and robotics and
everybody just feels like it's just coming. It's just a
matter of time.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
You know that when somebody is going to make a
military weapon that looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger, at some point
it may be long after we were gone, but yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
No, it will look like Sergeant Candy from the deleted
scene from Terminator three, Rise of the Machines.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I don't remember that deleted scene. I do have that
on DVD though.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
There's a deleted scene where it's Arnold just like displaying,
like doing a demonstration for the military, and he it
clearly is a dubbed voice because it's like a Southern voice, okay,
and it's his name is Sergeant Candy.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I know way too many thinks. Oh by the way,
permits have been filed for turning the galactic Starkers or
hotel into office buildings.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You know what, guy, here's the thing we never got
to go, right, Maybe we should just get jobs there.
Maybe we should get jobs there. And we went, yeah,
let's do it. Any we're all creative.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
I will apply tomorrow. Send me the link.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
The problem for one of us is like they're gonna
be like, hey, what's your favorite episode of the Imagineering Story?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Oh yeah, and he's gonna be like, what, what's that?
I know they made it for me, but I refuse
to watch it. Yeah, that's true.

It was too much for me.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Oh I was, I was.

I was shaken. I was shaken by that film. Was
it was it that they peel the skin then they
he was like a cheese grater or something on somebody Yes,
play the man.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah No, that's like a comfort movie for me. I
don't know what that says about me.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Maybe we should talk about theme parks instead of this
ter mummy movie.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Maybe we need to talk about mental health.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Well that's a that's a conversation. We could have weekly
Jimmy between all three of us.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
But what do you mean. I have watched three hundred
and thirty four movies as of this recording this year.
I'm doing great.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
That's a lot of movies. Pal, that's the uncomfortable amount
of movies. You need to go to Disney.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
You need to become my Lexa bro Okay.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Well, first up, I have I have two Dickerman's. Actually,
this is like, this is like if I didn't know better,
it's Dickerman's birthday. With how much dickerman centric news there.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Is way that was December. Let's hear it. I'll take it.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Melby a manatee rescued from a storm drain in Melbourne
Beach returns to Florida Waters after rehabilitation at SeaWorld Orlando.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
They do wonderful work at SeaWorld Orlando with the manatees
when they get rescued. And this poor little guy, he
was stuck in a storm drain and then they got
him and they got him healed up, and now he's
back out into the wild.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yep, yep, Melby is back home.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Scott.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
What do you think he sounded like stuck in that
drain pipe?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Guys, we found the perfect house. Oh I know that
house and Crystal River and Crystal River the manatees come
right up to it. How much was it three million?
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Jimmy, Yeah, it was like three point three million dollars.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
And well what it was is it was like right
on a canal, and the canal had like going around
to the end of their property basically like dead ended
into like the front yard of their property, and the
manatees would just hang out there because that was the
warmest spot in the whole spring. So basically, if you
live in this house, you go outside and there's like
ten manatees during the winter time just.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Hanging out in One member of the show loves manatees
in does it buy this house? Well, no one one
specifically brings a manatee themed cup to show to other
manatees thirst breaker.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yes, look, it's three million dollars. If anybody wants to
give me three million dollars to buy the house, you
can come visit any time you want.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Check it out.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
We could turn it into like an Airbnb. I'm sure
somebody's already thinking of that. Oh, I'm sure we are
taking a premium.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
No no, no, no no no no. Dickerman buys the house
mm hmm and then just and then just charge his
admission for people to go see the manatees.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
The three million dollar price tag is going to be
a sticking point for me, Like, here's okay, okay, let
me let me pitch you on this ticket to see
the manatess.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Three million dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
What hell? That's who's gonna buy that?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Another man eatee lover like you.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
That's a lot of money. They better be rich. It
better be like Bill Gates or really un Musk or something.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Okay, okay, okay, one ticket one point five million dollars.
That way, it could be two people.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
I heard Richard Branson is a huge manatee guy.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Well, maybe he wants to come into my house.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah see.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Or if maybe the one of these rich guys just
wants to buy it but doesn't want to live there
because they you know, they have other places to be.
I can live there and they can come whenever they need.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
You want to be a housekeeper.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Well, let me ask you guys something.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
So when those manatees come on to property, they are
they're on private property?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Are those your manatees?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Now?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, the state's not going to let you do that. Buddy.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Did you learn nothing from the beginning of Supertroopers when
they talk about owning beachfront property and somebody trips in
the sand?
Speaker 5 (05:24):
You boys like Mexico exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Super Troopers was an educational film. Snasbars like Snosbar's.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I was talking about super Troop persition with somebody. Okay,
other other.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Dickerman returned to the theme part.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Other Dickerman news SeaWorld will make an update to Expedition
Odyssey less than a year after its debut.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Okay, I've written that ride. I think, yes, I wrote
that ride. It's like Soren.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yes, Well, now it will become Expedition Odyssey Fire and Ice.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Oh what are we? What are we doing? New scenes?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
New scenes?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Are we going to Westroas? Take note? There's this little
old bitty Sea World over here, and they're they're already
updating their scenes. And we've been waiting for how long
for the update to uh to the Millennium Falcon Ride.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Look that change is coming in six weeks.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Yeah, we're getting that.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, I know, it just took a long time. SeaWorld
like a year and like, all, let's change it up, guys.
Sea Rope just wants to change stuff all the time.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Have you seen the May of the fourth? Merchandise at
Disney has dropped like a Java's sailing barge where the
side opens up and you can see Java in like
his court and it lights up. You can that's a
popcorn bucket.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
You can get see the three head as a popcorn bucket.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
You can get a ton tan as a popcorn bucket.
They got a brand new uh mug at Ogu's canteena
which is DJ Rex. Then you they have swizzle sticks
that are going to be in like the non alcoholic drinks,
so you could have a lightsaber, light up, reusable swizzle stick.
All of it Disneyland, California.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Of course it is. Are popcorn buckets still like a
big thing?
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Well, if theme parks and movie theaters are any indicator
they think they are.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
What are you gonna do with all that plastic? Like
I've got the millennium falcons still sitting around like, I
don't know what to do with this thing. It's just
hanging up in the house. I'm like, I gotta get
rid of this. It's just taking up space.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Well how about this. Can I sell you on an
upcoming popcorn bucket that will be in theaters. It can
either be a hat or a popcorn bucket?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
All right? Now, you got me. You got me curious
because I do like a multipurpose.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
I have a guess.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I have a guess.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Is it the Hail Mary helmet?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
No, okay, no it is it is it is Michael
Jackson's hat.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Oh boy, that's problematic, that is it? Or criminal?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Yes, it's that.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Are we just gonna forgive this? Are we just gonna
say we're gonna make a movie for this guy, and
we're gonna forget about all the all the red flags there.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
You've paid attention to zero of the production of this movie.
Where they had to reshoot the entire third act.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, I did not. I know nothing.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I'll tell you about that off air.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Okay, that's not appropriate for this audience.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
No, it just has It's not that it's just worth
the park show. Yes, it's it's public. It's public knowledge.
It's public knowledge, like what what happened with the production
of this movie?
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Other other Dickerman news. Uh, Disney is going to be
doing forty discounts uh during the summer at Walt disney World.
Four passolders.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Oh, passolders. I am not one right now. I was
through July thirty. First. It's sele like restaurants, and so
they're they're really trying to do something for now. This
is historically they haven't done a ton for passolders, right,
I mean not like you see for SeaWorld or even Universal.
A lot of times they're like, you're lucky to have it.
Don't talk back, kind of like when you work in radio.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Yeah I would.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
I would be.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Uh, that's a fair assessment because I felt that way
as a Disney annual pass holder, especially when I see
like all the cool stuff that like Scott would get
to do, and like all this like the eras you
would get at SeaWorld, and I'd be the Disney guy
over here with a well god, no, magniet.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, so what restaurants are we talking about?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Forty percent are pretty decent clip Off Food.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Well, first of all, twenty percent at Beer Guest or
Crystal Palace.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Both would love both those places.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
You could understand why those are only twenty percent. The
fact that you're getting a discount there for the first
time ever.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
It is pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, some of the forty percent. Okay, guarding grill.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
That's a great one. It's a moving one. Inside of Ebcot.
That's a fun one. Yeah. You get visitors at your
table too while you.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Spin, and you could do that for lunch or dinner.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Visitors like the server coming to see how you're doing.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
No, you get to see Donald Duck I think chipping
down swing by all sorts of people, and you're getting fresh,
fresh stuff right from the garden there.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Correct me if I'm wrong. Don't they come in like
the little farmer outfits too?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yes? Yes, okay, yep, Oh.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yeah, this is a good one. This is like the
one time you spent money at a theme park.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, I went there twice. As a matter of fact.
And if you go worry about spinning and you can't
even tell it spinning, it goes very slow.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Yeah, it takes a whole hour to do a complete revolution.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
If you're on Living with the Land boat ride and
you get to that point where there's like the little
crocodiles in the water and like the waterfall, look up
into your left and you will see the edge of
the revolving restaurants.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Oh yeah, Jimmy and I were supposed to ride Living
with the Land and you were gonna throw his dinner rolls.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
That's right, you're supposed to fire because it all you
can eat or you care to eat, and it's you
know there, don't sleep on the dessert there.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That's just desserts. Excellent there. Yeah, it's it's really good.
Well everything, I enjoyed everything.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
There another all you care to enjoy Whispering Cannon Cafe
brunch and dinner.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
That's a good one too. I've actually done that one
as well. That's a boat ride away from the park too,
so you can boat ride from there over a Magic Kingdom.
Yeah yeah, and that's what in Fort Wilderness right.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
For Wilderness Lodge.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yes, yeah, I love that area over there. It's just
a great spot.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
And that's what they mean to you.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Oh, for Wilderness and Fort's Lodge are very different things,
so don't Maybe I'm confused.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
There's two of those over there, so I've been to
one of them, and I don't know if it's this
one or the other one. I did the other.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
One, well, but the lodge is kind of like the
fancier one.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Oh, that went to the other one. Yeah, you went
to the campgrounds.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, yeah, where they have another all all you care
to eat place. It's a similar name. I can't remember it.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Here's the thing when we went, we went to Fort
Wilderness first, and they're like, nope, it's not this. I
feel like it's like a rite of passage. Everyone goes
to the wrong one first.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah. Yeah, Like I still don't know the didas between
the Swan and the Dolphin. Like we go over to
Kimonos to take my daughter for karaoke, I don't know
if it's Swallen Swan or Dolphin. It's one of them.
I never know.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Those are at least connected.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Yeah, if you stay name, yeah, but you you start
to get in the car or take a puss, Like
if you go to Dolphin and you're like supposed to
be at Swan.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
It's like it's a four second walk across the breezeway.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's true.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, like if you go to if you go to
Fort Wilderness and you're at the lodge, like you can't
just walk over to the next one.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah, and all you care to eat at the campgrounds
is the hoopy doo review.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
No, I didn't do that one. You do that one?
I didn't. Maybe I did Scott's. I don't know what's
that one called against.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Scott Whispering Canyon Cafe.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Pretty sure I did that one. Must have gone over
to the the launch.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I'd rather not admit how many Mickey Mouse shaped waffles
I had that day.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
If you're a vegetarian, I don't recommend it because my
wife was vegetarian at the time we went, and they
have like the vegetarian option was gross.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Oh, I really know. I got some. I got the
one of us.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Got jackfruit or something and make something out of jackfruit.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, we got the fruit.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I was gonna say it was really good. You couldnot
tell tell the difference.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I could. It was not barbecue. Friends, don't let these
guys fool you. You're going for pulled pork and you
eat jackfruit, you're gonna know the difference.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
No, no, no, I'm wrong, no offense, but you you
are wrong.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Trust hiking nugget man over here and listen, don't eat
that jack fruit.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
You don't exactly have the most advanced palate. So I
am not going to trust you with anything with food.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
There are other people out there like me right now
shaking their head going I'm not gonna eat that jacket fruit.
If I want pulled pork, I'm getting pulled pork.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Speaking of Dickerman's diet, just so you guys know, I
know it's taking us off a little bit. At Costco
right now, they have the gigantic bag of the Harry
Potter Butter Beer Limited Edition Goldfish. What it's like, Yes,
it's like, oh my god, I can't even explain to
you how big it is. And then the gigantic bag
of the the smart pop Is that what it is?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah? Oh, the Harry Potter popcorn. I don't like that. Yes,
the Goldfisher fire though the goldfish are so good. Yes,
Well tell you about the pop bag.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
The popcorn was you had to eat like two handfuls
at once to really get the taste of it.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah, they need to like soak that stuff in the
butter beer stuff. Come on, quit being cheap, you guys.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I think you need to try it again because I
think they got they took notes because this bag has
been delicious, okay, And I keep telling myself, I got
to eat it quickly because otherwise it's going to go stale.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Remember your house and just get a handful.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Remember dicerent, you have to open the bag first, and then.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yeah, open for consuming. They have an and the bag.
So I know that you're the reason.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Yes, And I swear to God you were such like
you were like a dog that ate a whole bag
of Hershey Kisses with the rippers on.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
That would not feel good coming out.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Other other potential discount news and this is this is
more of a wait with the other restaurants.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
You want to want to fire them off super quick.

Been there, Tiffins, haven't done that one.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Tippins is in Animal Kingdom.
Speaker 4 (15:44):

Speaker 4 (16:07):
I know the place boat Rights? Yeah, no, no, no, I'll
find it where it is. But that's not you're thinking
of the boat House Okay.
Speaker 3 (16:14):

scuba man. Yeah, exactly, Okay, unsolved mystery.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
I know that one too, and then totally that guy
got away with it.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Toledo tapis steak and seafood.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I don't know that one, but it sounds good, all right,
at all those spots this starting in May, Yes.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
And you love Seafiger, so that's probably top of your
your wish list.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
It's different.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Boat Rights is at your favorite Disney Portal Orleans.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Oh, I love Portal Orleans. Great spot. You do stay
away from the beignets if you're on a diet, though, kids,
Why because you'll you'll get hooked and then you're you'll
be fat.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I can eat Vignet's and nothing happens.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I eat Vignet's and I have problem.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Okay. Some other potential is that there's talk hm according
to a survey and mind you these surveys that Universal
Studios releases says, uh, these are confidential. I have not
gotten an email about this, so this does not this
is nothing that involves me. You're confidence, I am not breaking.
(17:25):
I am not bringing up Yeah, exactly something. Yeah, people
keep doing this where they get these emails. The first
page says confidential. But there's talk that Universal is exploring
annual pass discounts for current Disney World passholders.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
What what? What is what is going on there? What
sort of craziness are we looking at?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Is it going to be retroprocity or however you say
that word where they'll do it at both?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
No? No, no, no, like, hey you've got to pass,
we'll give you some good perks to come over here.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Oh this is this is like you know, acquisition, This
is an acquisition. Play. Hey, I see you're over there
at Disney and you know she's a pretty girl, but
over here, this girl cooks as well.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
And that the way he said that, it was not
like I mean It's not like you could take your
annual pass and no no in there, No no no.
It's not like they're going to pay off your cell
phone and they're.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Trying to get you to come and sample it. So
you go and sample and you say, hey, I had
a better experience here. Maybe I'll switch my annual passing
to this park alone.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
But remember it's annual passes are only four three of
the four theme parks at Universal Orlando res are.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
There's only three theme parks there. There's only two theme
parks there. I'm sorr, are you tricked to me?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Well, when they come to their annual passes, it's different.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
A water park is not a theme park. It's a
water park.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Look, if the other ones want to include their water parks,
they can.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
No.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
We also got news big Thunder Mountain when it will
be opening after it's sixteen month refurbishment.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
One of my favorite coasters at Disney. Got a lot
of great memories on that one. May third, that's quick,
that's coming up real fast.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Well, you say quick, it's been closed for sixteen months.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
We quick. Now, I haven't missed. It hasn't been closed
at all to me, brand new?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Uh did skip a beat, and along with that, Disney
World has lowered the hype requirement for Big Thunder Mountain.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Oh so you can be little or no took. We
took my daughter on there quite a bit when she
was little, and back then we could all three fit
in one row. That didn't last long.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Well it's going from forty inches to thirty eight inches.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Well two inches say that that makes a difference for
some kids. Hey, kids are gonna be celebrating.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Bart Simpson won't need candy apples.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Nope. And it's wildless ride in the wilderness. If you
guys didn't.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Know that is correct.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I love that ride. It's a good coaster, it's fun.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
And you know what, if you watch Inside the Attractions
on Disney Plus, there's like a whole episode about the
different thunder Mountains that they have across the Disney parks.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
I did have one grip about Big thunder Mountain, and
it's the line split. It's always chaos. You know where
it splits and you have to choose a side for
a train. It's always just madness there.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
That's why you choose go left. You choose left? Why
because people instinctively go right? Okay, I mean one of
moves faster too. Why don't they take a different turn?
It's very confusing. I need to see the math behind this.
I need to see some numbers.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
By the way, have you such a gen X thing
to say?
Speaker 3 (20:40):
By the way, I don't know if you guys have
seen this. The social media wave that has occurred about
the Born stunt Tacular show. Oh so they Universal Orlando
has been has a sign like like an a frame sign.
It's like further out in the street of the showtime
for the Boorn Scentacular.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Okay, so people.
Speaker 3 (21:03):

at City Walk on the Moon the Artemists two saw
the sign on the moon.
Speaker 1 (21:16):

Speaker 3 (21:18):
U this phenomenon that's going on, and people are we
ever go.
Speaker 1 (21:21):

did that? I know we tried once and failed. Did
we did we eventually make it?
Speaker 5 (21:26):
We have all seen the show and you actually liked it.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Okay, thanks for remembering, because I sure dot.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
The thing is. It's it's good. It's just I don't
have the same feeling of wanting to do it again
that I did with t two three D Battle Across.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Time, doesn't love T two Terminators great? Like we're living
through it.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
That's the thing, like like like like I was impressed
with what they did. I thought the screens and everything.
It's just what I feel felt from the Terminator one
was completely different.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, Terminator's time, you know, and as we as we
continue to see the advancements in AI and robotics and
everybody just feels like it's just coming. It's just a
matter of time.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
You know that when somebody is going to make a
military weapon that looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger, at some point
it may be long after we were gone, but yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
No, it will look like Sergeant Candy from the deleted
scene from Terminator three, Rise of the Machines.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I don't remember that deleted scene. I do have that
on DVD though.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
There's a deleted scene where it's Arnold just like displaying,
like doing a demonstration for the military, and he it
clearly is a dubbed voice because it's like a Southern voice, okay,
and it's his name is Sergeant Candy.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
I know way too many thinks. Oh by the way,
permits have been filed for turning the galactic Starkers or
hotel into office buildings.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You know what, guy, here's the thing we never got
to go, right, Maybe we should just get jobs there.
Maybe we should get jobs there. And we went, yeah,
let's do it. Any we're all creative.

I know they made it for me, but I refuse

Speaker 1 (23:33):
This joke is so corny. If you want to just
watch watch show, what do we have to watch to
