that's a long shift for you. We did.
We did 9 hours today 9:10 no. No, no, no.
I mean, I closed last night and then I opened this morning.

(07:07):
Let's see what I do. Yesterday I pretty much got 2:00
in the morning, didn't go to beduntil 6:00 AM.
So there. And I tried not to keep try not
to make so much noise. He wakes me up and says stuff to
me when I when he comes in everymorning.
It's annoying. How was it annoying?
I just told you, I'm telling youthat I'm home.
I was asleep. But I tell you I'm home though.

(07:29):
But I was asleep. I know, and I'm sorry.

But you still do it. Yeah, I do.
And from Studio 21, the baseballpodcast.

Like Jen, like it's been a long day, but I'm actually going to
be doing double, double work being right here with you.

(07:52):
But I'm also preparing for my own show tomorrow.
Let's go, let's go. All right, so I you know what?
So when I was at work yesterday,I am so sick and tired of these
guests. I'm sorry, but I'm just going to
say it because they do not know how to stop at a freaking stop
sign. They just keep, they just keep

(08:12):
going straight at it. They they don't stop, they just
keep going. And I'm like, guys, I'm, I'm
right here. I can watch you my my camera and
my vehicle can catch you withoutstopping.
Like what? The like, why would you go
through a freaking stop sign? Why?
That doesn't make any sense at all whatsoever.
And I'm kind of pissed at it. Yeah, it's a it's a little rant

(08:35):
I had, but haven't Jen and I, wehaven't been to the theme parks
lately. I was going to go to Hollywood
Studios while she was on, while she was out of town, but it was,
it's way too hot. It's this heat is just really
bad. Mike, how bad?
How bad is it over there with the with the heat?
Oh, it's it's pretty bad. It's already like, it's been
like the hundreds a few times over the.

(08:57):
It's been 100 over there. It's been 100 of it was 100
today, I think. I mean, you have you are having
a pretty decently bad heat wave lately up there.
That makes a lot of sense. We have a worse.
I wasn't gonna say that. We're gonna say.
I was up in Indiana last week and it was decently hot.
It was in the 90s, but it's not the same kind of heat that you

(09:19):
would have in Florida. How was it in not How was it in
the 90s in Indiana? I don't know, ask meteorologist.
I'm not that. No, but did it feel like it was
like that hot over by your your mom and dads or by your
brothers? I mean.
Yes, it felt like it was very warm.
It just didn't feel like it was our kind of heat because it
wasn't as humid. There was humidity, but it

(09:39):
wasn't like stifling humidity. Yeah.
But where are we at right now? Like what's our?
I don't know. Yesterday I got in my car like
3:00. Yesterday afternoon in my car it
was like 105°. One O 5 yesterday, yeah, but
wait, what time you left in the morning?
No, when I got in my car that yesterday afternoon at like 3.
Oh yes, 3. Actually almost 4:00.
It was like 105° in my car. Now granted.

(10:02):
My parking region huh? And no, no shade in the staff
parking. There's no shade in, in the
parking in anywhere in my at my school, no matter what.
There's literally no, we have trees, but they're little trees.
They're not like the big thick oak trees or something.
They so yeah, there's no like, shade.
Even when I even when I got to work yesterday I went into my

(10:25):
car and I saw the temp and it still said 90° but how did how
in the world is it 90° at 2:00 in the morning?
I have no idea. I will say my part of the reason
that my car was so hot was because I have black interior.
You know, that's part of it. I need to get like one of those
things that one of the windshield things to cover.

(10:48):
The the like a windshield shade.Yeah, yeah, I still am.
I getting one too. I was gonna give you, I was
gonna get you a UCF 1 and I was gonna get the Eagles one for my
car. Sounds good to me or I'd do it.
Or the Orlando Magic 1. I can't.
I can't tell which one I get. I don't want the magic one.
I would like a UCF. No, I'm saying for me, like I'm
saying for me, if I want the Orlando Magic or the
Philadelphia Eagles one, but I haven't decided which one I want

(11:08):
to get. But you know, the Braves were me
or the Braves. I couldn't get one of those two.
Maybe, like I said, I really haven't decided.
I really haven't decided which one I want to get.
But for all of you who are watching us on YouTube, thank
you so much for chiming in. And if you guys want to chime in
the chat, you guys can just let us know how hot it is in your in
your guys area. We just want to know.

in the Sunshine State. But let's go ahead and get

About How about we not talk about that on on a radio state?

(24:43):
Well, they're well, whatever. All right, so let's see here.
We do have some Florida attractions and travel news
guys, check this out. What was the last time you guys
went to the Kennedy Space Centerfor me that then within the last
two years, two years for Big Country.
Jen, when was the last time you went to the Kennedy Space
Center? Oh God, I don't even remember

(25:05):
the last time I went to the Kennedy.
Space. I don't think I've been there.
Mike, have you? Mike, have you ever been to the
Kennedy Space Center? I don't remember if I have.
I don't think I have actually. I mean, I've been there, but I
don't think I've been there since.
I don't think I've been there since I was a kid.
It's been, it's been a while since I've been to the Kennedy
Space Center. I think the last time I went
there was when it was myself, Ben and Justin.

(25:27):
We saw the with our rocket launch on the beach and that was
pretty cool. Ben and Justin are his two of
his best friends. Yeah, my 2 buddies.
Since nobody knows who those people are.
I know. But anyway, over at the Kennedy
Space Center, it's not just, it's not just about beaches and
Mickey anymore. NASA's Kennedy Space Center
ranks number one in the US for attractions, according to a new

(25:50):
report. Congratulations to Kennedy Space
Center. Let's see date.
Let's see date. Date.
Yes, you know why does you know why does Frank number one, most,
most visit attraction in Florida?
Kind of obvious why it will get a lot of foot traffic.
That's true. Yeah.
Imagine of how many people stop and visit that prize location

(26:14):
either as they're going to a cruise or they just got off a
cruise, or if they sailing at the Northeast and Port Canavera
have been a port of call and they could spend in Florida for
a day. You know what?
That makes a good valid point. I guess this article is true.
I mean, Congrats to the Kennedy Space Center for being number

(26:34):
one in the US for attractions. I mean, it's an off road
attraction, which people want togo see space, they want to go to
the beaches, they want to see a couple of rocket launches.
So you know what, it does make sense.
It makes it makes a lot of senseto go check out the the Kennedy
Space Center, which Jen, we needto plan a weekend to go to to
that place to go to the Kennedy Space Center.

(26:55):
What do you think? OK, OK.
All right. Daytona Aquarium debuts
Rainforest Adventure, a brand new family friendly exhibit has

(01:01:03):
Oh, I've been on that right too.Here's.
A little hit here is the little history on Revenge of the Mummy.
Curse begins. Revenge of the Mummy open at
Universal Studios back in back on May May 21st 2004, 2002,
1004. That's when Revenge Revenge of

(01:01:25):
the Mummy opened at Universal Studios on May 21st, 2004,
replacing the classic Dark Ride confrontation.
Now something. Now some fans were not happy
about Kong leaving because confrontation was a beloved
attraction. But once Mummy debuted, many
guests quickly quickly fell in love with this fast-paced indoor

(01:01:49):
coaster. What makes Revenge of the Mummy
stand out? It's not just a coaster, it's a
story driven thrill. A driven thrill ride that
combines the elements of a dark ride, special effects,
animatronics, fire and high speed and high speed launches.
Oh yeah. It's a large coaster.
It doesn't go too fast, but it does like all of that there is.

(01:02:11):
You do see the screens and stuffand the seats actually do.
But in fact it's copy. In fact, it's so good they copy
pasted it at kind of copy pasteda lot of vibes when they were
between Universal Studios and inHollywood and Universal Studios
Florida. That's true.
But the cool thing about this, the cool thing about this, the
way they, the way I put it, I the way I would describe Revenge

(01:02:35):
and Mummy. Think of it as a haunted house
meets a coaster. Yeah, think about it.
It's a haunted house. It's a coaster.
So when my parents went to when my parents first went to
Universal to try out that vibe with me because we went there
because my dad has ever been to,we haven't been to university so
far down while and Universal Hollywood Studios didn't have

(01:02:57):
the one thing that my dad reallywanted to do the wizarding word
of Harry Potter, because they have a Hogsmeade there, don't
have a Diagon Alley, but they dohave Hogsmeade at at Hollywood
Studios. I said I wanted to do this ride.
It wasn't my dad's favorite, butit was the second favorite ride
there. Wait, your dad did like or he
just didn't care for it? No, no, he did like it.
It was a second favorite ride. That's good.

(01:03:19):
That's good. My mom loved it.
My mom loved it too. Thinking like OK this right is
fun. And we'll never go on it because
her well, because her, her back problems.
So and I I I understand. Revenge of the How about?
It Yeah. Revenge of the Mummy, Jen.
I have torn, torn, bulging discsin my lower back.
Yeah, so that's a no for coasters.

(01:03:41):
Also my neck is I have bulging discs in my neck.
OK. So that makes sense, yeah.
So we do have some, we do have some movie connections about
this. It's also one of the reasons I
don't like dinosaur. That's why that's why too.
All right, so we do have some cool movie connections about
this attraction, Revenge of the Mummy.
And that is why The Mummy. Back in the late 90s and early

(01:04:04):
2000's, The Mummy franchise starring Brandon Frazier was a
massive hit for Universal Pictures.
First film in 1999 brought in over $415 million worldwide and
Universal was ready to cash in on that success in the theme
parks. So they just so they decided to
replace Kung Fu confrontation with a ride theme to the Mummy.

(01:04:27):
Not just any money mummy story. This ride blurs the lines
between movie and reality. Instead of just following the
plot of the film, the story is that you're on, you're on a
movie set of a new Mummy film and Oh, no real curse of Imhotep
has been unleashed. All right, so we do have some,

(01:04:48):
we do have some ride details about this attraction and that
is, let me find my notes real quick.
Here we go. That is now technically, since
this is a Universal, this is Universal.
It's not called Imagineering, That's Disney's term.
Universal's creative team pulledout all the stops for this one.
Here's what they packed into theexperience.

(01:05:10):
First of all, it's an indoor, ithas an indoor roller coaster
track. It's manufactured by Premier
Rides and uses a linear indication.
Sorry, linear induction motor launch system.
So in other words, it's it's an Lim launch.
Oh, you blast forward with no traditional lift hill.
This is my favorite part. That's my favorite part of the

(01:05:32):
attraction. You also have some special
effects. So check this out.
You've got massive fireballs, balls covered in Skyrab
projections, animatronics, animatronics of Imhotep and
Eerie Pedro was a hieroglyphic laden tomb that feels like
stepping right into the movie. Which Yep, there's also a drop

(01:05:54):
track effect. The ceiling collapse in the
treasure room before you plummetbackwards feels like the floor
is giving out from you from under you.
Brendan Frazier cameo. He pops up at the beginning and
at the end of the attraction desperately trying to get trying
to get his what, Mike? What is Brendan Frazier trying
to get I. Know what he's trying to get?

(01:06:15):
Kind of remember right now because it was he was trying to
get his treasure. No, it's not treasure.
He was like he was trying to gethis coffee.
He's. Trying to get his cup of coffee.
Welcome back, hope you enjoyed yourself.
I would have enjoyed this interview a lot more if I had
gotten my cup of coffee. Thank you.

(01:06:38):
Yeah, coffee. Yeah.
And I haven't even been on the ride and I know that that's.
Such a funny cameo. Here's a cool fact about this
ride. The fire ceiling is so hot you
can feel it even when you're moving at 40 mph.
In fact, years, it's one of the hottest flame effects ever used
in a theme park. That is very true.

(01:07:01):
Very true. Say that they cool you off.
I should turn the because it does get hot.
So did you know that the rides tagline is Your soul belongs to
me? Delivered an emo tips ominous
voice. The hidden King Kong statue in
the treasure room as he nod to the ride it replaced back in
2022, Revenge of the mummy underwent a massive

(01:07:24):
refurbishment, upgrading its right system while keeping the
same storyline reversals creative team calls this right a
psychological thrill coaster because it mixes physical
thrills with spooky storytelling.
Right now here's my favorite part about this about this
segment and that is we do have some guest reviews.
Let's talk about real quick. One fan says they give it a five

(01:07:47):
star review. They said this is the perfect,
perfect universal ride. Scary, funny, fast, immersive.
It's like if if Haunted Mansion and rock and roller coaster had
a baby. We also we do also have a
there's a three star. There's a three star review and
of course from a Karen and she said that it's too dark.

(01:08:07):
I couldn't see where I was goingand I think Brendan Fraser was
yelling at me about coffee that about well, he want his cup of
coffee and my personal rating tell him.
Here's how I'm rating Revenge ofthe Mummy thrill factor 9 out of
10. Retelling out of 10 rewrite
ability 10 out of 10. Do an atmosphere 8 out of 10.

(01:08:28):
In other words, here's why because I used to work at that
attraction. That's why I give those reviews
for my final thoughts. And that is Avenge of the Mummy
is a must do every time I go to Universal.
Universal Studios. The perfect combination of
spooky, thrilling and just plainfun.
Let's let's be honest, all right, it just to hear Brendan
Fraser's voice shouting out about his coffee.

(01:08:49):
Next time you're at Universal, skip the gift shop and head
straight to for the Mummy's tomb.
But remember, the curse is real.There you go.
And now I want my and now I wantmy damn cup of coffee.
Hey guys, have it. That was ride of the week on
bench of the Mummy. And next time, next time we do
ride the week, we will be heading over to Velocity

(01:09:10):
Coaster. Yes, at Alan's Adventure.
So quick question. So if out of five, then what
would you say the overall would you give?
For Revenge of the Mummy, Five stars.
Those two, I can't. Oh, what about Big Country?
What about you? Country what do you get big
Country, what do you give revenge of the mummy?
Something is on, but and what doyou?
What do you give Revenge of the Mummy?

(01:09:31):
I can't do it. I can't do it because I have not
actually been. On well, even though you.
It was scary trying. OK, so tried to do it.
Flashback. A long time ago and when we
first started dating and we wentthere and I got all the way up
to where we were going to get onthe ride, I freaked out as it
was so dark and now I can't rideit so.

(01:09:52):
Well, after the, I mean after all this history about that
attraction, you can still give it a rating.
So what would you give it? I mean, I would probably give it
a four. I had ridden it so four that
it's thrilling so. So overalls a we get the mummy a
4.64 point 6 now I believe Jen is Jen is heading out for the
evening. So it's good.
It's just going to be myself andMike.

(01:10:14):
He did it on ride the week was on Revenge of the Mummy and next
week we will do it on do it on Vol loss.
We'll do it on Velocity coaster.So.
So that being said guys, it's now time for Mike's Cheese.

It's time for Mike's munchies. So, Mike, you know the drill
that where the hell are we going, man?
Oh, we are going to. Well, this has been a while in
coming, but we are going to Contemporary Cafe to Dizzy's
Contemporary Resort. Remember what I told you last
time when we, when I, when we did this, the last time we last
time we spoke, I told you how many items did they get rid of?

(01:14:28):
They got rid of 20 items. Yeah, 20 items.
It's crazy small now. So, so this is a so this is like
a little little cafe and it's, uh, it's small, It's right.
Where exactly is it? Is it in, is in the contemporary
resort? Is it right by the the monorail?
Yes, it is. In fact, you could see the
monorail above it. Oh, that's cool.

(01:14:51):
Hey, Mike. So here's my here's my question.
Your first, so your first thing on the item is you're getting a
drink. What are you getting?
OK, so for drinks, hang on a second here.
So, so for the Contempo Cafe, I don't know why to say Contempo.
It's just Contempo. Let's just say, OK, so you have

(01:15:11):
beer and wine and stuff, but I have to choose one.
I'm going to go with another Howard Ching drink, which I'm
going to go with Ramona Blood Orange Wine Spritz.
Oh, OK. So so it's lightly sparkling
Sicilian wine mixed with organicblood orange juice 11:50. 1150

(01:15:33):
OK. Anyway, moving along, we're
going to talk about. So there's not really many
appetites. Well, OK, so appetizers, but
they're not like the typical ones where it's like you could
get you could get like it's mostly stirred depending on what
you get. So they have far parts, of
course, which are more of a share up with thing.
I'm not getting that for a single person.

(01:15:54):
Otherwise that'll be my whole meal.
One thing I will say though is that they have that's pretty
good is they have a but they have a loaded cheese fries,
loaded cheese fries we're bacon,cheddar, scallions, jalapeno and
housemate advance and that's 649so.
Bro, bro, we may when you come to Florida next year and we end
up at the Contemporary Resort, you know, I may have to, you

(01:16:16):
know, I may have to share, sharethat because that sounds so
good. Cheese, cheese fries with bacon
and scallion. Oh dude, that sounds good.
How much? How much is it?
49, so 650. Actually, that's not bad at all.
I'll buy that. OK, so the other bakery stuff
there too, but we'll talk about that stuff for waiter.
They have a few things there. Wait, let me make sure it got

(01:16:38):
down to yeah, 649. I'm gonna go with a sandwich
there because they have some pretty good sandwiches, which
the one I'm gonna go with is there.
I'm going to go with possibly myfavorite thing there, which is
the person. Oh, here it is.
Patty Melt. Dude.
And the cool thing about this place, it's a cafe, but they

(01:17:00):
make all of their sandwiches, their appetizers, their snacks.
Those are all handmade at the contemporary resort.
And the reason why I like the Patty melt is it's a grilled
cheese with a burger Patty, carameless onion and Patty melt
sauce. Hey, I'm going to tell you guess
how much that cost, About 9 bucks.
It's 1390. 9 teen bucks for for that sandwich.

(01:17:22):
OK, I will buy that. It's a good, it's a petty melt.
It's a good cheese sandwich for the.
Food. I'll buy that too.
That sounds good. Anyway, and As for dessert, I'm
gonna make a I'm gonna talk about one thing though.
This is for they do have what iscalled the Mickey Mouse
Celebration Cake. Those wheels are way too much.
I saw I went to when I was over at my resort.
Yes, when I was at my when I wasat my resort there night I went

(01:17:48):
inside to get a little like somefresh air and stuff.
So I went inside and I saw how much those things cost, $16.00
for one of them. And I'm like, that's too.
Much No, no, no, no, no, no. The Mickey Mouse celebration
cakes no the I don't think you get it the right one.
So the Mickey Mouse celebration cakes are they feed 4 to 6
people. Oh, OK.

(01:18:09):
And how much? How much is that?
39 bucks each. Me no.
Four people. Dude, come on, That's like,
that's too much cake. There's way too much cake
though. Yeah, 4 to 6 people though.
So if you get 6 people $39.00, that's about, that's actually
pretty cheap actually, it'll be.Like 6 bucks, 50 OK, all right,

(01:18:31):
so 40 bucks. So they have two of them.
They have white chocolate, whichis vanilla cake with white
chocolate ganache and white chocolate mousse, and chocolate
cake which is cake with chocolate ganache and chocolate
mousse. OK.
And are you any? Are you going to get that for
your dessert? No, no, no, I said.
It's for people. It's for a huge put people.
But no, I'm gonna go with hey, my mom.

(01:18:52):
I got my mom is coming up. Hang on a second.
Oh, Mike is saying bye to his mom, My wife.
She's a getting a little snack right now, or drink or water,
but she's a little she's tired. She's to get up early to help

And I might stop by tomorrow to help her out.
But I got a lot of groceries. I got, I'm sorry, I got a lot of
errands to do to do for tomorrowand that means I got to clean my

(01:19:17):
car out, got to clean the room out.
So. Yeah, but all right, Mike.
So anyway, so. My dessert I was going to say
because I forgot to say it, the chocolate peanut butter.
Part sounds like a knock off version of a Reese's Cup.
Oh, it's actually so. It's chocolate crushed peanut
butter cream filling with chocolate ganache and it's top
of Pamphley strawberry whipped cream and strawberry crisps.

(01:19:38):
Oh, buddy, that sounds good. That sounds good.
Which is that? It's 590. 9-6 bucks.
All right, bucks, let's do it. All right, so that with this.
All right, So boom. Plus that and there's no tips.
So you're good on that because there's a cafe hike.
Are you ready for your grand total Bucks $40.00 for Contempo

(01:19:59):
