Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
That's a good guitar. Everybuddy to.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Do too much, too too you know what I mean,
I need a massage.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Well there are ladies that do that.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
There's a new place here in town. Oh really yeah
really yeah burn Oh really yeah, he said, nothing funny happened.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
You know, the Lamb's house is a massage parlor.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah, that's weird.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
It is weird.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
That's very weird. Just like, yeah, very weird. Yeah, yeah, Grinchen,
that's the one with the statue. I say, if they
think of living.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
At your house for decades, being one of the most
well known houses in the city of Veni for decades,
you move out, your family starts passing away, and it
becomes a massage parlor.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
That is so weird.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
It's a spa.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's not a massage.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Okay, Hey, everybody want theme to the latest episode of
the Buzzed Radio.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
So to remind everybody, I was gone last week. So
we recorded four episodes of podcasts the week before, and
we're recording four podcast episodes of our podcast tonight because
todds them to be gone next week to a less
So we hope you guys got all that freight.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Just just pretend black. We're still here.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, so hit us up one way or another. We'll
we'll answer yet five eighth five four one three eight
oh five or buzz at bussedmedia dot com. We've been
asking for a little bit of feedback on this podcast,
and we got some from Larry.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Larry from Washington, Washington, Washington.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yes, he's Larry. Kind of likes the no subject matter
format of the show. We're not talking about the same
subject see. Yeah, Okay, here was something interesting because I
was looking I don't think I put it in here.
I was looking for the top No, I did put
it in here, but I went with a different list.

(02:27):
So I found a list of like the top topics
for podcasts, and of course true crime. Number one was
true crime at like twenty four percent, and then there
was like politics and blah blah blah. And what was
funny is when it got down to the bottom, it
had like a last category that said random subjects like ours,

(02:52):
and it was at twenty percent, so it was literally
second behind every other subject. But true crime really yeah,
so it's actually more popular than what I thought it
might be just kind of doing. I think the difference
is you've got Joe Rogan's You've got people that are

(03:12):
super famous doing it and they get more of a following,
and we just need to get more famouser and then
and then we might get a bigger following.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Okay, you know Larry did mention. He did say, I'm
surprised that everyone that listens to seventies Buzz podcast, you know,
we should.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Have mentioned this on that podcast. Remember on the next
one we record tonight to mention that.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
So, yeah, which is substantial. I mean we got a
lot of listeners over there. Yeah, we don't.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Even if we got half of our seventies Buzz listeners,
it would make this podcast way worth the time and effort. Yeah,
I mean we're doing you know, you know the thing
about this podcast, it's not growing. We're as seventies Buzz eventually. Yeah,
I started snowballing.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Actually, the last couple of weeks have been since we left,
has been better.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Okay, well we'll keep an eye on it. So well,
so Larry that that helps us out. We're gonna keep
We're going to keep the randomness and and it makes
it a lot.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
So literally we got we don't we really have like
no prep. I mean we don't have to have prep
because we're talking about what happened the week before. I mean,
it's all it's not it's not evergreen, but it's it's
to me, it's I always enjoyed doing this, almost more
than seventies buzz well. But the thing about it is

(04:36):
you have to listen to it every week, all right,
because going back two months is not really going to
be that cool of an episode because unless you're, you know,
studying history or I don't know, yeah, even then, I
don't know. Some of the subject matters kind of evergreen,
but a lot of it is what's happening now. So anyway, Gretchen,

(04:57):
Gretchen called a lot of stuff talked about Disney, probably
more related to Sony, but I did give a list
of Disney movies on bosh Head Radio. But she wanted
to thank us for the big Wheel. It was her
birthday last Tuesday, imagine that Tuesday, the twentieth Gretch's birthday,
and we sent her a big wheel, a little big wheel.

(05:22):
We searched. We searched high and low, and I don't
think they We couldn't find where they actually make the
big big wheels like the adult version. I think that
was like a one off.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, I'm not sure what she was talking or that.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Could have been an AI. I don't know, who knows,
never know.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Okay, before we get too deep, yep, don't get deep
anything like like people calling in wise or anything.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
No, not really that I noticed any email.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
I wanted to get this outaway for I forgot or
forgot lost. So for whatever reason, last night, when I
was looking up stuff for what I remember which podcast
it was, I started thinking, Oh, I came across a
somebody had a posted a picture somewhere of a pow bracelet.

(06:12):
Oh really, yeah, you know you remember the story about
my fat and it got me to thinking. I was like,
you know, I knew that he had passed away not
too terribly long ago, but I was like, I wonder,
you know, it'd be cool if I could like, maybe possibly,
just possibly reach out. This is kind of seventies it

(06:34):
is actually seventies related. If I could reach out to
maybe his family and maybe maybe get that bracelet back,
you know, because it was pretty cool. Come to find out,
I always thought it was so weird, So you know
how one of the odds of me running into him
and here at inting at Oklahoma at Kent's mom and

(06:57):
Dad's bait shop coming sportsman center. He lived here and
needed which is equally as weird. So a kid, a
ten year old kid for me in Oklahoma has a
pow bracelet of a guy who winds up he wasn't
from here, he winds up moving here because his daughter

(07:18):
was here. So after he got released in seventy I
can't remember what year it was, he was a prisoner
for five years. He actually wasn't in the military at
the time. He was a government contractor for an engineering
architect firm that was in South or South was in Yeah,

(07:41):
I was in South Vietnam working and that's how he
got captured. But he was there for five years. But
I was like wow. So I did a quick search.
I didn't do super in depth because I'm not really
good about the stuff, but I did find a guy.
His name is I want to say, like Rick Spaulding,

(08:05):
that was from Drummond. I'm like, okay, you know, so
Richard moved to Enid to be close to his daughter.
I thought maybe maybe, you know so, I actually messaged
that guy last night and as of today, I haven't
got any response from him, and he's a marine. The

(08:25):
guy who I messaged you.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Know, you know what you need to do.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Put Justin or Derek.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
On TikTok, TikTok, TikTok. I've seen so many of these
things on TikTok where somebody will be searching for somebody
or something. Oh yeah, they mentioned it on TikTok and
it goes viral, and the people on TikTok, there's people
on TikTok that that's all they want to do is
track down people and find things. And so if you

(08:51):
can get just one of those people to see it
and it go a little bit viral, they would probably
track down this dude's family.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
It's it's amazing what people have done on TikTok.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
But I thought that was cool that. First of all,
I thought it was weird. He was just I thought
he was just passing through. He'tedn't was going to go fishing.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
But no, he actually Now see that might have been
even that might have been even weirder. Though the fact
that he.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Lived here makes it He moved here.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Moved here makes it a little more like you could
just think, if he was passing through, what are the
odds of that exact day. I mean, you're getting down.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
To what are the odds that a kid ten years old?
Because when you when you order those pow racists, you
don't get to pick.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Oh yeah, no, they's totally random.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, so I think they're both.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
You know what, now that you say that, I'm going
to have to I'm going to go. I need to
go back to my mom's jewelry box, which is at
her house, and see if hers is still in a
jewelry box somewhere. Oh yeah, because she had one, yeah,
and she wouldn't have given it, you know. I bet,
I bet, I bet there's one in her jewelry box.

(09:58):
Come to think of it.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
That' cool.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, may have to dig that up.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Because I you know, if I had that, i'd work there.
You go, it's cool anyway. I just wanted to get
that outway.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Okay, very cool, very cool. Okay. So I'm back from
a a never before nine day vacation. So I thought
most vacations that I go on, I'm good for two days, yeah,
three days. Depending on where I'm at, I'm okay, or

(10:29):
I'm like, okay, I'm ready to get home. Day four,
let's go home. I'm ready to go home. I don't
know why are we Why are we still here? I
live somewhere this vacation. I do not remember one second
where I was like I need to get home. Why
this is too long?

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Not even to see the thor no, which is kind
of weird.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
I mean I missed team. But we denise plan this
thing so thoroughly that we were on the run the
whole nine days. I mean, I mean we're talking to
the minute on something. Because you had the you know,
the rides where you had to schedule. There was like
a short time period you had to get on the

(11:10):
ride or you missed it. So I mean we were
literally park hopping, you know. We'd go to one park
just to ride one ride, and then go to another
park just to ride one ride.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
I mean it was that.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
And so we were like on the go all the time.
It was like go, go go, So I never felt
And then the Polynesian even though it was like on
the I think I can't remember what they call it,
the something lagoon, which is the lagoon between Land and
Magic Kingdom. But they had sand, they put white sand

(11:44):
around it and sand chairs and hammocks, so it looked
and palm tree so you felt almost like you were
at a beach somewhere, which so I don't know, it
was just really I enjoyed where we were and come
to find I found out a lot of stuff. We
were there so long, we've found out a lot of stuff.

(12:05):
So when you first, if you've never been to Disney World,
the first thing you need to do is go to
Magic Kingdom, because that's like Disney World is Magic Kingdom.
You can't go and not go to Magic Kingdom. Well,
to go to Magic Kingdom, you drive up and there's
this big thing over your head that says Welcome to
Magic Kingdom, and you know, you get this whole Disney

(12:26):
thing and you pull in and you got to get
in line, and you pay your thirty dollars for parking,
and then you go park and then you're like a
mile away from this area that you have to go
through to get into the park. So you get on
these trams. Now this is his you know what we
used to have to do. So you get on these
trams and the tram drives you up to this set

(12:49):
of booths that you have to go through. Well, that's
the metal detector. So you go through that and you
get metal detected. Then you're like looking at this lagoon
and matchic kingdoms across the water. So you have to
decide are you going to take the mono rail and
go over the water or you're gonna get on a

(13:10):
ferry and go across the water. So you decide which way,
and so then you have to wait in line, and
then all these people either get on a big ferry
or they get on the mono rail, and then you
go across and you get off, and then there's another
set of gates and that's where you have to scan
your ticket and your thumbprint. They match your ticket with

(13:31):
your thumb print, so nobody else can use your ticket
the rest of the time you're there, and then you're
in the park. So Magic Kingdom is the hardest one
to get into. Every other one you just pull up
and you can literally if you buy the extra and
it's really not that much ten or twenty dollars extra
for close parking the whole day. At any of the parks,

(13:54):
you can literally drive up like two rows from the
park and get out and walk to the park. That's
how the other three parks are. But Magic Kingdom, so
in my mind, I'm thinking there's this huge parking lot
that's like a mile away from Magic Kingdom, and you've
got to go through all these bells and whistles to

(14:14):
get there. Well, I didn't realize that some of the
Disney hotels, well three of the major Disney hotels are
around the edge of the lagoon. Well, we've never stayed there,
so I didn't really, I just wasn't dawning on me. Well,
come to find out, like the Polynesian, it has its

(14:36):
own it's got a monorail, and it's got its own
little boats that you can take over to Magic Kingdom,
and I'll have to wait on the big ferry and stuff. Well,
then come to find out, I'm out doing my walk
every morning, and I get So we're staying at the Polynesian,
and the Floridian is the resort next to us, and

(14:56):
they kind of merge. So I would go on all
the way over to the Floridian, and they had a
dock that really stuck out into the lagoon where I
could see the sunrise really well, so that's where I
would take most of my pictures. Well, I noticed there
was this trail going around the lagoon, and there was
this bridge and then I saw this one gal walking

(15:17):
and she got to the bridge and then she turned
around and came back the other way. So it dawned
on me that this trail is a trail to Magic Kingdom.
So if you stay at the Polynesian or the Floridian,
you can actually walk to Magic Kingdom by just walking
on this trail. And they've got this bridge that has

(15:40):
gates at both ends and they keep them locked until
an hour before opening, and then they lock them an
hour after closing, so you can't walk up the Magic
Kingdom anytime.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
Of the night.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
But so we literally could have walked from our resort
to Magic Kingdom if we'd want to walk.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Walk Is it a long walk?

Speaker 1 (16:02):
It probably would have been a fifteen minute walk, which isn't.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Really it, but you're walking all day anyway.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, I mean there was one day I got thirty
six thousand steps in god, I think it was the
one the night we stayed till two Yeah, so but yeah,
so I'm like, wow, So I don't know, I just
I didn't know you could walk to Magic Kingdom. You
can literally walk around the Lagoon to Magic Kingdom, but
you pretty much need to be staying at the Polynesian
or the Fluoridian.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah, so me never have been there. It's hard to Yeah,
it's hard to imagine what all.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Your Yeah, so hopefully maybe in some of the video
I took. I don't even know if it'll explain it then,
but yeah, so yeah, just I was just I was like,
oh wow, like I don't know, because it just seemed
like such an effort to get into Magic Kingdom, and
all of a sudden, if you're staying in the resort,
it's not really that big a deal to get to
Magic Kingdom.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
So why didn't everybody do that?

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Because it's expensive, Oh stay staying at the Disney results
resorts or is it's more expensive than like staying at
a regular hotel. But you get perks, You get in
the park an hour earlier, you get to do the
after hours thing, you get I think better lightning Lane.

(17:20):
I don't know, there's there's a lot of perks with
staying in resort. Plus you get all the Disney stuff
at the resort.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
So to me, vacations going to Mexico and sitting by
the pool or sitting in the pool at the swim
at bar. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
See, this was not that this was a amusement park
adventure and so we took Cayden. So if you see
the pictures and there's the guy that you're like, who's
that guy, that's who's my first boyfriend? Who's who's the
photo bomber? Because he usually stood back. So Caden went
with us. So base basically the amusement park adventurers were Me, Denise, Piper,

(18:04):
and Kayden. Cheney only went because she was promised that
she would not have to keep up with us if she.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Would like to hang out with Cheney.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Well, but Cheney might not even go down to the
pool or the beach and drink. She'd want to stay
in the room and sleep or not.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
If she had somebody cool to hang out with, like
Uncle Todd.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
I don't know. She likes to be on her phone
texting and messaging with blakey.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Blake, Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
So anyway, yeah, so let me see what I got
my notes. So anyway, so I will have an in
depth coverage of our nine days. And we went to
seven park. We basically hit seven parks and seven days.
It wasn't a park a day because some of the
parks we went to two or three times. One day

(18:53):
we went to two Universal Parks in one day, and
we did go to Epic brand new Universal Park. We
spent one whole day there. But so and then, so
what I'm gonna do in my podcast as well is
rank my top one through seven with a little bit

(19:14):
of feedback from everybody else too.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Okay, So Disney World has fIF four parks in the
Disney World, and then you went to Universal, who has
three three parks. Yeah, so here's is it kind of
like six flags?

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Where are you like, here's where it gets confusing.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
There, So Disney World has four parks, but in some
of those parks, the park has like the Harry Potter
section and the Legos or the you know, they they've
toy story section. So in the parks there's almost like
many parks within the parks. So, but there's four main parks.

(19:52):
There's Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot. Those
are the four Disney and then there's four Universal parks.
There's Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure. I can't remember the third.
It's a water park, which we didn't go to a
water park. We didn't want to swim and go to

(20:14):
the water parks. I can't remember what it's called exactly.
And then there's the brand new one called Epic. Now
like with within Epic, Epic is the park. But within
the park there was I think it's the one that
had the Lego land or the I can't think of
what it had the Harry Park. It's got a brand
new Harry Potter section, it had the Monster section, which

(20:35):
is why I thought of doing monsters, and it's got
a Mario Brothers section. And then there's like a middle
area that's not anything in particular that So basically each
company has four parks.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Okay, so in these parks in and of themselves are big,
huge inside a Disney World or Universal World.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah, Universal doesn't really have its own area. I mean,
all they're they're their parks are fairly close. But Disney
World kind of has an imaginary not a not a circle,
but kind of a circular area around it where all
of the roads and everything within that area is kind

(21:30):
of Disney. There's like there's not like another business within
the Disney World.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Sure, everything in Disney World is Disney and everything in
Universal is like Universal Movie related.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
But what I'm saying is in the area, like Disney
World has an area of Florida that there's nothing else
in that large area but disney World parks and and
just land with nothing on it. It's not like there's
a IBM business between Epcot and Animal Kingdom, whereas Universal

(22:03):
Studio there is, Oh, there's one park, Universal Studios is here,
and then Epic is over here, and there's like two
hundred businesses in between.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
So encompassed.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah, disney World has.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Its disney World's all encompassed in disney.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
World kind of, but it's not like it's not like
there's a wall around it. There's this imaginary area that
somehow disney World acquired over time, and so they don't
let anybody put anything, even though a lot of it's
just a green area. There's just nothing else in the
disney World area but disney World stuff, whereas Universal is

(22:42):
more sporadic. It's it's all close to each other, but
there's also a bunch of other stuff in the way too, gotcha.
And the cool thing about disney World is they've got
a bus system where hundreds of buses I think, just
travel within the disney World area and take you from
one park to another. They just shuttle constantly all day long,

(23:05):
and it just like so Chaney had no trouble, and
they've got monorail, and so Cheney could pretty much get
to wherever we were fairly quickly. And so you could
go to disney World stead of resort, never have to drive.
You could just take buses or walk or the mono rail.
If you go to Universal, you have to Yeah, So

(23:28):
we stayed on property at disney World and the two
days we went to Universal. It's only about a fifteen
minute span, but it takes thirty minutes to get there
because of traffic. The Highway in Orlando that goes between
the disney World area and the Universal is bumper to

(23:50):
bumper twenty four to seven. It's never not I don't
know that it's ever not bumper to bumper, and you
have to get on it unless you I don't even
know there's like neighborhood streets. I think you have to
get on it to get from one area to the other.
So that slows you down. It's not like it's it
ever stops. It's just really slow. But so that's why

(24:10):
it takes about thirty minutes to get from the disney
World area over to the Universal area and vice versa.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
I see yeah, I just want to go ride roller coasters.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Well, and that's kind of why we were there, although
Denise kind of decided she wanted to try to ride everything, yeah,
because we'd been good for her. Well, a lot of
the rides the roller coasters are you know, the ones
that kind of throw your The other rides don't really
do much to you.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
But not like ride the Texas Giant, I think I'll
beat you today. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
No, No, the modern roller coasters are smooth. Okay, yeah,
so so and May and I'll kind of talk about
the roller coasters and that's really why we were there.
So we got to ride. So again, you can't really
and in line for some of the rides anymore. You
have to have times. But we rode Tron five times,

(25:07):
we rode the New Stardust Chasers five times, we rode
Guardians of Galaxy I think three, possibly four, probably just
three times. So it was just it just all depends.
So one of the nights, one day, we didn't go
to amusement park all day. We waited until seven and

(25:30):
went to the after hours at Magic Kingdom. Well that
was the night. We were there till two o'clock. So
we were there from seven to two, so it was
as long as had we been during the day, but
it was at night, so it was cool and there
was no sun. But what they do is only they
only sell certain amount of tickets to the after hours,
so it's not crowded, and so you get on and

(25:51):
off the rides a lot quicker. And so that night,
like we rode Tron one time and literally got off
and ran through the gate and almost got right back
on and wrote it again.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
So speaking of Tron, there was a picture of I
think you and Denise that you passed. You guys look bored,
it was.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
So that's a new thing. The new thing. One of
the new things to do on these rides is you
got to figure out where they hide a camera.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
There was another one you did where okay, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yah, they hide a camera now somewhere on the ride.
And it's usually when something happens to startle you, or
it goes really fast, so on on Tron, it goes
from zero to sixty in a very short period of time.
And so but we and so we know where the
camera is. So the thing was who could do the

(26:40):
goofiest thing on camera when you're going and so and
Denise didn't. We didn't even talk about that. We literally
got on and I don't know if she saw me.
We were resting with our hands on our chin, waiting
for the ride to take off, and we just left
ourselves like that. So we were we were at sixty
miles an hour when that pick sure was taking You
could tell by her hair it was standing straight, almost

(27:03):
didn't look like her. Yeah, so yeah, so basically that
was that was another part of the fun is you
try to figure out where the camera is and then
when you do, the next time you go through, you
try to make the stupidest or the funniest.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
There was another one where there's like four of you
and like three of them were doing the typical thing
and you were just.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Well one of them, I was sleeping. I put my
hand and acted like I was sleeping. And then yeah,
so that that's kind of become a new side game
when you're on and almost every ride for some reason
has added that. Well, what they're trying to do is
get you to buy the photos. The cool thing is Denise,
Denise bought the picture package. So everywhere we went, like

(27:47):
we could be walking by the castle and there'd be
a photographer there and we could say, hey, take our picture.
They would take our picture, scan her bracelet, and within
five seconds the pictures were on our app and could
upload them and show everybody on Facebook and and every
one of the pictures from the rides. It it scans

(28:08):
your bracelet when you go through on the ride, and
by the time you get off the ride, the picture
is in your app. It's it's it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Wow. Wow, I bet that picked I beout that package
wasn't cheap.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, I have no idea what that was, so you
don't want to know. Yeah, now we did not. We
didn't get that at Universal, so we didn't really get
any of those type of pictures. You know, we didn't
even stop and look at the pictures at Universal. We
were But I will say real quick, the Epic is
the newest park literally just opened.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
I never heard of it.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah, I think it just opened like within the last
month or two, only on a limited basis. Well even now,
when we went, they were only selling a certain number
of tickets, so you had to get in and once
they hit their limit, you you got a sold out thing.
You couldn't buy tickets to Epic. So when we went
into Epic it was like uncrowded. It was crazy how

(29:07):
I mean, there was space to move, there was no lines,
there was no crowds to have to buzz through. And
you know it's a brand new park, so everything's pretty
and shiny, and so I would highly recommend Epic. And
you'll when I do my order of parks, I want

(29:27):
to ask. Yeah, so it'll be on my podcast. I'll
let you guys know. But I can I can say
that we did enjoy Epic. It was.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
So what was in Epic.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Epic had monsters, a section called Monsters, which was Frankenstein, Dracula,
wolf Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the Mummy.
So every ride and when you when you walk in,
there's like dark mountains and old looking buildings and a
huge castle. Everything's monstery looked. Yeah, and then there's the

(30:01):
Harry Potter and you go into that area and it's
like it's literally the moment you walk in the gate,
it's like you're in a Harry Potter movie. I mean,
the streets, the buildings, everything looks like the set of
a Harry Potter movie. And then you go on to
the rides and the rides are just huge. I mean,
not the ride itself, but the area that you go

(30:24):
through to get to the ride is like out of
a Harry Potter. So the Harry Potter stuff new now
the So there's Harry. There's old Harry Potter stuff at Universal.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Studio, Okay, because that's what Jesson and them did years ago.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Yeah, now there's new Harry Potter stuff at Epic. My
thought is, and I don't know, is I would I
could see him phasing out the Harry Potter and replacing
it with something at Universal Studio and putting it all.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
That's probably what they're doing at Epic. Why would you
have two Harry Potter? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yeah, So so anyway, so there's the Harry Potter, and
then there was the Mario Brothers, which was really colorful,
cartoony and a lot of kid rides.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
And is Harry Potter or is Mario Brothers still a thing?

Speaker 1 (31:11):
I see, I didn't realize. I guess so, I mean
it was, I guess so? And then what else was?

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Was there a Minecraft thing? No? Okay, because that's apparently
really big right.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Now, not that I remember. I'm trying to think if
that was all that was in Epic? Was those three
I think and then like in Universal Studios, there's a
Jurassic Park and another Harry Potter and so anyway, so
they they're kind of you know, they kind of all

(31:47):
copy off each other. But okay, so what I have
in my notes. People kept asking me if you could
stay in the Magic Castle, and I guess there is.
It's called the but it's called the Cinderella Castle Suite.
It's tucked away.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
I thought you did that years ago.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
No, we went to a there's another room in there
where you can have meals, you can have private dinners
and all the princesses come out. We did that, but
you pretty much have to be invited or win a
sweep steaks to stay in this secret, hidden room, the
Cinderella Castle Suite, located through a nondescript door. Within the

(32:32):
castle is a lobby line the tapestries blah blah blah blah.
So yeah, so there is a room in there, but
only a few people ever get to stay there.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Okay, let me ask you this. This is something I've
always heard about. The the characters are the people who dress.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Up uh huh, so.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Like they're always like, you know, little kids and even
even adults like going out there getting hugs. I've always
heard they're not allowed.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
To stop hugging until one thousand percent. There was this
who was it?

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (33:06):
So Denise? Denise paid for a meal with the cast
of Winnie the Pooh this year, Yeah, this year. So
it was it was a restaurant that we had been
in before.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Why did she pick Poo I think.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Because we had done it when the girls were little,
who because it was Winnie Pooh then as well. So
we went in and it was a it was a
buffet breakfast and brunch like breakfast until eleven and then
it switched to brunch. But it was, you know, basically
all you can eat and you got your picture with
the characters. And so all of the Eore and Tigger

(33:46):
and Piglet walk around the restaurant and come to your table,
and then when they come to your table, you stand
up and get pictures with them. Pooh stayed in the
middle of the restaurant and you had to get in
a line to get your picture with Pooh, and so
we and our table was really close to Pooh, so
we could watch everybody get in their picture with Poo.

(34:06):
In this one little girl, I think it was a
little girl walked up and just grabbed Poo by the
neck and literally laid her head on Pooh's shoulder and
would not move, and nobody did a thing, and that
Pooh just kept patting her, didn't try to pull away.

(34:29):
There's a person there that helps, that takes a picture
and kind of kind of tells everybody not even an
attempt to try to get the little Yeah, no, they
do not.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Yeah, the person hugging has to stop. The character cannot
in the hug.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Yeah. So, and I'd learned today when I was doing
a little research. Every girl that becomes a princess on
property or a guy that becomes a print, they have
to be one of those fuzzy characters first. Yeah, you
have to. You have to go through training and be
a character before you can become a prince or princess. Really,

(35:12):
which I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Speaking of which, do you follow Colina on social media?

Speaker 1 (35:19):
I don't, but I know she's going to work there.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Something like she's doing. I thought she was going to
become a character.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
I think she is.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
She'd be perfect.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, And we ate at the Floridian
for brunch one morning, and it was a lot of
the princesses, and so we got pictures with all the princesses,
and so she might end up doing. Yeah, you never know.
The one thing we did miss this trip because of
the way it was scheduled and the things we're doing,

(35:51):
we never did catch a Magic Kingdom parade. I think
I think it goes off it. I think maybe twice
every day, and we just didn't happen to be in
the park during the prey and it's like a long
parade with pretty elaborate.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
And I'm back to the characters, the people and the
mascot things. I'm assuming they don't talk. They do not talk, okay, See,
that would be weird to me as a kid, Like
you know this this character talks, even like the princesses
now they talk, Okay, So if you're in like a
head gear, you yeah, that would I would be disappointed

(36:31):
if I was a kid and I wanted to Winnie
the Pooh and you know, and say hey, hey, Pooh,
I love you, and he didn't say anything back.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah, they just kind of they kind of jump up
and down and do hand gestures like they're answering you.
But yeah, I no, you.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Would think with the days technology.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Which I think they might. What's interesting too about the princesses, Yeah,
I guess they have to be able to mimic the
real the whoever started the princess signature. So like you know,
like five years from now, a new person doing Cinderella,

(37:06):
her signature is going to look like the gal that
did it five years earlier. So they all have to
practice and get their signature down as well.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
You think they make much money doing that, I can't imagine.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
I don't know who knows.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Hopefully Colleena will get into that and we can ask.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Her, yeah, find out some stuff.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
She'll probably be on an NDA though.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
They may have. Yeah, but you think so. I'm sure
if we google that we could find sure information. So yeah.
Another thing I didn't realize was Disney enhances their parks
with smell a tizer machines. I heard that if you
walk through Main Street, USA, you may notice a smell

(37:49):
of freshly baked goods. Rides use the sense at key moments,
such as the smell of smoke when you pass by
the burning Library of Alexandra at Epcot's Spaceship Earth Ride.
You may also notice a dusty attic like smell in
the Haunted Mansion. Now I thought I smelled. There's a
ride called Soarin where it's a iMac screen and you're

(38:14):
on a thing that moves that makes you feel like
you're really flying, and it's like a real slow soaring.
It's not like a fast ride. But they go over
a herd of elephants, and I could swear the first
time we did it, I smell dirt from the herd
of elephants probably, And then I think at one point

(38:37):
they splash Almost every ride now splashes you with water
at some point in the ride. So what else you
could take? Because of the cost, you are able to
take your own food and drinks into a park. Really yeah,
So if you're a family of five and don't have
money to you can take really yeah, I can take
all the food in you want. I don't think they

(38:58):
let you bring in glass containers with your drinks. But
so we had what we took in water bottles, dozens
of water bottles. But yeah, some families will just take
hold bag of sandwiches and just sit there and eat
sandwiches in the park.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Yeah, So anyway, these are some little tips for you guys.
The Stardust Racer, which is the newest roller coaster in epic.
I guess the gal that did the Veloca coaster.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
In Jassic Jurassic in.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Islands of Adventure is the same one that did this coaster.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
I wish you guys could see Curtis with the sand
to work. When he's talking, he talks with his hands
a lot.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
So this coaster, which I thought was the ultimate super cool.
We got on it. It dual launch at sixty two
miles per hour, jetting you up one hundred and thirty
three feet along five thousand feet of track. The cool
thing about. But then we went back to Islands of

(40:05):
Adventure the next day and rode the Velosa coaster again
because we hadn't ridden it for a couple of years.
I think Velosa Coaster is still my favorite, although I
think the same girl coaster designer designed both coasters because
they're both really close. The thing about the new one,
the star Dust, is it's a dual track, so when

(40:27):
the coaster takes off, two roller coasters take off at
the same time on different tracks. They go out and
they do some spinny things. One goes one way, one
goes the other, and then they meet back in the
middle going the other way, and you're literally cruising along
fast and you see you can see the people in

(40:48):
the coaster next to you, like literally you feel like
if you both put your hands out, you could touch
each other. And then all of a sudden, both coasters
just like go from like thirty to sixty miles an
hour and you're ship and so it's like you're racing.
And then they go to the other end of the
track and they start twisting. And there's this one part
where if you have a kid, you not if you

(41:09):
have your hands up in the air, which we always do.
The one coaster goes, they twist, and then another coaster
comes and they're doing hand They literally twist like this,
and the people in this have their hands up. People there,
and you literally feel like you're almost within finger touching
tip of the people in the coaster that's above you

(41:32):
twisting the other way as you're twisting. It just but
you can see them, you can, but you can you
can see everybody in the coaster above you. It's it's
it's cool, but I kind of like the Velocit coaster better.
I guess is that I think I don't it just didn't.
I guess it wasn't as twisty, and I don't know,

(41:56):
I don't know, it just I don't know how to
describe it. They're both really close. But uh again, the
star Dust is a dual coaster. Ah, so, and and
that and the thing about Uh, if you want to
ride coasters, you go to Universal. Okay, Disney World has

(42:18):
no coasters other than Rock and Roll or coaster that
goes upside down, which is totally weird to me. It's
the only coaster and it doesn't even do a loop.
It does a twist, but there's no other coaster in
Disney World that goes upside down.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
See. To me, that's like, that's just that's how that's
that's hard to believe.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
It is weird. But I do have to say that
Tron and Guardians of the Galaxy are two of our
most favorite roller coasters, and they neither one loop or
twist or go upside down. Guardians of the Galaxy is So.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Is Guardians the Galaxy a roller coaster?

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Oh yeah, it's but it's an indoor roller coaster, okay.
And so there's all these all these things on the
walls that.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
I would go to Disney World just to do the
Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster, just because I'm a fan
of Guardians the Galaxy.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
Oh now, if you see see that's the thing about
it is nowadays like back in the old six Flags days,
you'd stand in line and you'd be in this really
boring zip line and there'd be a fan and there
was there wasn't even a TV at the time. You know,
it was back now they they send you through these

(43:37):
elaborate things now just to get to the ride. So
on Guardians of the Galaxy, you you're going through all
these mazes for and but there's like there's like things
from the movie and there's like history of the Galaxy
and the you know, there's the story behind the movie.

(43:57):
And then you get to this one area and then
Glenn Close clumbs on and she says, I'm something from
whatever and our two gal and then what's his name
comes on? The football big black football player, he comes on,
and then they take you to another room and then
they're saying then then the whole crew from Guardians comes on,

(44:19):
and then the big dude comes on and he's crushing
the thing and and so there's there's and this is
this is not even the rye. Right, this is just
to get you prepared for the ride.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Right, So if you really like the movie, damn it, Disney,
you had to buy Marvel and.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Yeah, you get all of the and then you go
on the right and then the ride. The fun thing
about the ride is they only they've got six songs
from the eighties, and they only play one of those
six songs. And so part of the fun of Guardians
of the Galaxy is trying to guess which song they're
going to play. And we were all we we never
did get a flock of seagulls. I ran that was

(44:57):
my favorite one, and this trip we never got it.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Oh that would have been my least favorite.

Speaker 1 (45:02):
Oh no, it's the best. And so and it's really cool.
The coaster. It's like a really great coaster. And then
at one point there's like this big planet in the
middle and your you're z you're zipping around it, and.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
That's Curtis is doing all the handess he's gotten microphone
feedback going.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
Yeah anyway, yeah, so anyway, there's ah, so I will
and that's like what I've just told you is nothing
compared to what all happened. So I'll go into depth
of everything on my Slinkies podcast. So and so, anyway,
so I did miss the final of Survivor because we

(45:43):
were I never stopped to watch TV. I literally saw
no news for nine days and no TV. I think
maybe we watched We went to a restaurant the last
day and I saw some of the thunder game at
a at the restaurant, But as far as like being
in the hotel room, we just never really watched TV.

(46:06):
Sometimes at night we would flip it on, but it
didn't stay on very long. So anyway, so I didn't
get to see Survivor. So, because we do have the
app Paramount or whatever, I downloaded the finale and watch
it on the airplane ride back because it was a
straight shot, we didn't have to change, so I got

(46:26):
to watch the whole finally. So what'd you think about
the finale?

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Ah, Honestly, as soon as I saw that Kyle one,
I turned it off and didn't watch. Didn't watch after that.
I think I went to bed because I was like,
damn it, I wanted Joe or even to win.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Well, I got to the point where because nobody was
kicking Joe and Eva off, I was like, well, screw
you guys. Then I hope they win because you had
every chance, every chance in the world to kick either
one of them off, which I guess now worked out
for the best because Kyle ended up winning. But I'm like,
why would you not the two people that are probably
gonna win the game, you're not kicking off?

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Yeah. No, Kyle definitely outwitted them, definitely.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
Yeah, he he was doing some.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
You know what. Now, I regret not watching the post
because in the post they would have explained that that
Joe and Kamella, no, Joe and Kyle, I mean Kyle
and what's Camilla?

Speaker 1 (47:23):
Yeah, y oh yeah, oh yeah, you should watch.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
I forgot about that.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Well, because they all had secrets, so he he divulged
that they were working together. Eva divolge that she was
really a PhD working you know, and now Joe didn't
really have anything. But yeah, they revealed all kinds of
stuff in the at the end.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
I might go back and watch that. Yeah, I forgot
about that. I was just kind of girl.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
And they all three had pretty compelling reasons why they
should win. And that's why I wish I hadn't acted
seen who won, because I would not have known. I
literally until the vote, I would not have known who won.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
Yeah. No, I was on, Yeah I was. I was on.
I was on pins and needles.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Bens and needles. And I also missed the finale of
American Idol. I don't think I'm going to go back
and watch that. I don't.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
I get kind of bored towards the end. I love
the beginning of American Idol, where it's the backstory and and.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
The bad and the bad ones.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
You know, they don't really even do that anymore. They've
kind of cut that out. They might add one or two,
but not like they used to. But what's cool about
the beginning is everybody's raw and looks unprofessional, and then
by the end of the show, they're all all polished,
wearing clothes that they never would have worn in a

(48:51):
million years. And I hear you want to hear something weird.
I just went to Disney, and I love Disney, and
I spent nine days at Disney. I hate the Disney
episodes of American Idol because they sing Disney songs and
they're in Disneyland, and I'm like, no, I want American
Idol to not be Disney. But they spent like a

(49:13):
whole They spent like two weeks in Disney, and so
by then I start getting bored because they're singing Disney songs.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Yeah. I haven't watched American Idol years.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
Yeah. So big weekend for movies this weekend. Disney's Leelo
and Stitch came out.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Okay, let me stop here out Okay, right there, let
me stop Okay, So this not this last weekend. Week
before last, I went, uh, went and hung out with
the uncle uh huh in Tulsa and Tulsa and I'm like,
they got movie theaters around there have movie theaters. So
I went to go see Thunderbolts. Uh huh. Loved it.

(49:53):
Nothing bad to say about that movie. What I do
have a problem with every single pre view before the movie,
because they call it previews of the other movies that
are coming out. Every single one was either a remake
or a sequel of something that's already been done. Every
single one.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
I was gonna say, the two movies that set the
record this weekend are ye sequels or Redo.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
Yeah. So now they're taking cartoons and making them live action.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
Well that's what so Piper wanted to go see Lulo
and Stitch while we were in Disney, and I wanted
to go see Mission Impossible, and I was like, why
I don't want to go. I don't want to come
in the only I don't get to go to the
movie theater, and the one time that I do, I
don't want to go see Lelo and Stitch. I at
that point, I didn't know that it was a it's
a live action. It's not a live it's a live action,

(50:44):
but it's an animated live action. I thought it was
a cartoon. And but then Piper has never seen any
of the Mission Impossibles, so she didn't want to go
see Mission Impossible. So we didn't go to the movie.
But anyway, point being, both of those movies together had
the set of box office record for the four day
Memorial weekend.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
That Leelo beat Impossible.

Speaker 1 (51:06):
Yeah, but Mission Possible beat all their other prior records.
It was the most so Lelo ands Ditch did three
hundred and forty one million good and Mission Impossible did
two hundred million, and the combined they set the Memorial
Day weekend record.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
Yeah, the only one I might want to go watch.
And this is kind of weird for me. Is because
I love the cartoon. I said, I guess it's a
cartoon version how to How to Train Your Dragon?

Speaker 1 (51:38):
Now, see, I think maybe that's the fourth area in
epic Oh, how to Train Your Dragon? That would yeah, cool, Yes,
I think it is that. I would now say.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
That because watching the I love the cartoon and then
watching the live action stuff, like I said, it's not
really live action because it's like a mix how they
how they do that, you can call that. But I
was kind of disappointed in like, there's nothing new coming out,
you know.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Yeah, it is all remakes and sequels, sequelsma, it is
kind of crazy. But yeah, that's that's what it was.
I think that was the fourth area of I could.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
Say that it was. It was a it was it
was blockbusters.

Speaker 1 (52:20):
I'm trying to think of. I think it had a
roller coaster. It's kind of like there's some smaller roller
coasters that are like really good roller coasters.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
You're not magic because they do a lot of flying
on the Dragon.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
Well, they got they had a flying ride that had
dragons and so you would sit in the seat and
you had these wings with handles and you could flap
and then and there was like five five of them
on one side and five of them on the other,
and this big pole took you up and spun you around.

(52:51):
So while the pole was spinning, you could be flapping,
and if you could get it right, you could do
your wings opposite and you could get your thing to spin.
Barrel roll. But we only wrote it once and I
didn't get I wasn't able to get the I wasn't
I didn't figure it out un till the ride was

(53:12):
almost over. So had we gone back on, I would
have been able. So I never got mine to barrel roll.
And almost nobody was barrel rolling. One person, they said
they were watching. One person got it upside down and
was able to keep it upside down the whole time.
I don't know how, but yeah, So anyway, so yeah,
it was how to Train Your Dragon? What's the third
park or the fourth part?

Speaker 2 (53:32):
Yeah, that would have been one of the ones I'd
want to see.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
Well, there you go. Did you watch the American Music
Awards the other night?

Speaker 2 (53:40):
No, but I heard it was really good.

Speaker 1 (53:42):
I thought it was awful. I watched like thirty minutes
and turned it off.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
I was like, this is so blake and Gwyn both
did something didn't they did.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
I actually did catch both of their songs. I turned
it off in the middle of Janet Jackson's Jackson. Janet
Jackson first time in seven years performed. The host was
j Lo.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
I like j Lo.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
I like j Loo as an actress. I don't like
jay Loo as a singer or dancer. I don't think
she knows how to dance. And she was the host,
and so she not only was she changing costumes every
time she came out on stage, but they were like
super weird cause you know, it wasn't like just a
normal dress. It was like something.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
Weird and like I goo weird.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Yeah, like weird stuff. And so I and then I
don't know, Janet was like just dancing and walking. It
was like there was no nobody was singing hardly. It
was like I don't know, so I.

Speaker 2 (54:42):
Okay, So what show was it that had was it
Foreigner on at the end? Was it Idol that had
Foreigner play at the end? Oh?

Speaker 1 (54:51):
Maybe I bet it was. Maybe was it Foreigner?

Speaker 2 (54:54):
It was like an old school rock band because there.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
Was there was a rocker on American Idol. They probably
it probably was Oh cool, cool, Might I might have
to go back and watch. So I was trying to figure.
So when you watch the American Music Awards, Billie Eilish
won everything like nominaatee for seven she wons anyway, some weird,
weird people win and stuff, and I was like, well,

(55:17):
it's a fan voted awards show. Yeah, And so I
was like, why are these weird people winning everything? Well,
because you vote by going to their website or Instagram
and then also by I guess part of its streaming
and album and song sales. So basically AMAS is like

(55:42):
probably twenty four year olds and younger the only people
voting on that stuff. So Beyonce got Female Country, Oh
my god, I.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
Mean so oh that's just wrong.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
And some of the best female all country stars were
in the category. So anyway, so basically it's it's it's
a teeny to me, it's like a teeny bopper music
awards show. It's not like real And that's why there's
no rock and roll because though teeny boppers twenty four
and below don't listen to rock and roll, they only
listen to whatever they're listening to.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
All and all of us do don't really care.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
We don't vote, so so either either we need to
start voting on some of these awards. We need to
start like the Adult Music American Music Awards, which would
be way different. Or we don't care now I really
don't care. Yeah, anyway, how are we doing on time?

Speaker 2 (56:44):
