Speaker 1 (00:01):
From the theme park Capital of the World, Orlando, Florida.
This is the Theme Park Podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Wait podcast?

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Is this a radio? Why does everything gotta be so
messy on this station?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Anyway?

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Here's your hosts, Dickerman, Jimmy D and Scott Harris.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hey there, and welcome to the Theme Park Podcast. Dickerman,
here there is Jimmy D. Hello fellas, and Scott Harris.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
This is based on a true story about one classroom.
Oh sorry, I'm just in weapons mode right now.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Oh you're ready for that weapons movie. Everybody's saying it's
gonna be great. It's not a theme park movie, but
it's a it's a movie. People are saying it's gonna
be great. Oh yeah, is that this week? Yeah? Okay,
all right.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
They had two seventeen showings today.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
In the afternoon.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yeah, they didn't do the morning like I really wanted
them to do.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
I saw that, and I thought I looked, actually I
looked specifically to see if they were doing it two
seventeen the morning, and they warn it was only the afternoons.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
Like I would have gone if they did. Yeah, and
then I would have been leaving the movie theater at
six am.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Yeah, exactly, running just like those kids.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
The thing is, like, I now find myself doing that
a little bit. I've like, I'm that movie is just
imprinted on me and I still haven't seen it.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
I didn't see that yet, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Isn't that the same like like the nrudo or whatever?

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Like no, no, no, no, that's the leaning forward run.
This is more upright with your arms out.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Oh okay, all right, well cool, I'm glad you're excited
for that. I imagine that will maybe take up some
of your theme park time this weekend. You won't be
able to, uh to visit a park if you're at
a movie.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Correct, Yes, And if I love it, I'll just I'll
just run it back.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Get that a list, Get that, but get my a
list four movies.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
This is a great time to be an a list
person because there has been a lot of great movies lately.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
I know Jimmy and I are going to the movies
on Wednesday.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
I know I was gonna say he's seen two movies
in the next week at least, and it sounds like
there's a third on the horizon.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, lots of movies. All right, Well, let's let's talk
a little bit about theme parks because there's a number
of things happening around the world. I know there's some
new food menu items. I know we've got some artists
added to eat to the beat. Jimmy's got a big
anniversary plan coming up that will be taking part at

(02:30):
the theme parks. So where do you want to start.
I want to start with the artists, because I we're
all into this artist.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Well, hold on, did you see you guys didn't acknowledge
that last text I sent you with the bignet chicken sandwich?

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Would you eat that? Tickerman?

Speaker 2 (02:43):
I don't know I saw it.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Do you guys not realize that I've I sent you
guys that like three months ago?

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, it seems like too much for me.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
Too much. One, what about chicken and waffles? Would you
do chicken and waffles?

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I've done chicken and waffles. Yeah, but this is a sandwich.
It's almost like when they put the ham around the
Krispy Kreme It was just one step too far.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
No, it's not. It's it's a delicious combination. Yeah, just
get the clear.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah. I don't think they have that heart attack grill
in Vegas anymore, do they?

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Why wouldn't they. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
All I say about Vegas is Doom and Glune.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Uh, let's talk about the addition to Eat to the Beat,
because this is a band that you're into, Scott, I
like this band, Jimmy, do you like this band?

Speaker 4 (03:35):
I know the name, I don't know if I'm like,
I'm sure I know their songs. I just don't know.
Who is a simple Plan, right, that's the one we're
talking about.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
No, they are usual, they usually are there, but they're
on Warport right now. Actually though they're touring right now.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
I think okay, but no.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Newfound Glory just got announced four Eat to the Beat
one of my favorite bands of all time, like legitimately.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, I like that band.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
I having a Newfound Glory poster right here.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
So I assume you're going to be at their Eat
to the Beach shit. They do multiple shows for these.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
October fifth and sixth.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, oh, you're gonna go both. You're gonna go both days.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
I don't know. I don't know. I just know that's
when they've been announced to go. This is the like
right before my birthday. I am absolutely going to try
to go to one of these performances.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
They do three performances a day, correct, I believe so,
or is it just two?

Speaker 3 (04:31):
I know it's at least two.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
Because my question for you, Scott is would you go
both days for all six performances?

Speaker 3 (04:41):
So it's funny you say that because a few years
ago they did a tour where each night they did
two albums, and they did four nights in Orlando, three
in a row, and then a couple days later they
did a fourth. Three of those were at the Social,

(05:02):
one was at the House of Blues. I went to
all four of those shows. I didn't have a voice
after night too. So basically, to answer your question, if
I have the ability, yes, I will try to do.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
That, Scott. I love that about you.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
And then my second question, hold on, I've got more
to go with here. Will you buy like one of
the dining packages so that you can get like the
really up close uh seating?

Speaker 3 (05:32):
No, because I my whole thing with concert is I
don't want to sit. I don't like sitting at concerts.
That's not an experience for me. Okay, I will, like
I stand, I can hear it. That's fine.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
Okay, So you would prefer to be so you can
like have a little, you know, room to move exactly like.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
At the back of the Out of Time.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yes, And if a marsh pit breaks out or Scott
decides he wants the crowd surf, then you know he's
got that ability.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
I mean, I won't do that, but I like where
your head is. I am not a starter of mosh pit.
I'm too small.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
But if one starts around you, do you join in.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
I have been known to dabble a little bit. I
gotta check the I gotta check the optics of it.
How many people in there are bigger than me?

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah? It depends on the violence level of the marshpit.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Usually it depends on that. It depends on the artist,
and it depends on the floor. Yeah, concrete, concrete, no
grass maybe?

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Okay, all right, me.

Speaker 5 (06:35):
Going into a mosh pit, it's probably just because it's
quicker to go that way to get to the bathroom.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Cut straight across.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, yeah, uh so I will be staying in celebration
October fifth, We've got an event that day. Does does
he still do that thing where they'll give you like
one media pass a year.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
We shouldn't talk about this on the show. I thought
it was a thing like we should not talk about
this on the show.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Not that I'm a member of the press any longer.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
We should not talk about this on the show.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Fair enough, So let's talk about new menu items coming
to Eat to the Beat.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Well, it's no, no, no, it's not easy to the Beat.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh, this is not new food for Eat to the Beat. No,
this is food for This.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
Is food first for the all new beak and barrel
pirates of the Caribbean Bar coming to the Magic Kingdom.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Okay, this is the whole new bar that we're getting.
Hmm at Magic Kingdom, that one place where they never
had alcohol for decades. Now we're getting a whole bar.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Well, the crazy thing is this is opening August twenty ninth.
Do you want to know what else happens on August
twenty ninth, Uh, Mickey's research Halloween horonites. Oh, there's going
to be a lot of conflicted people trying to decide
what they're going to cover.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Oh okay, I see. Oh so you mean like a blog.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, well for Dickerman, there's not. It's because it is
just a bar. There's island provisions, which are plantain chips, tortillas,
and flatbread.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Then there is Uh, corn griddle cakes with chipotle braised chicken.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
It doesn't sound bad.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Corn griddle cakes with roasted corn and poblano peppers.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Really into this.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Corn griddle cakes.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
And then your favorite, the Krakens Catch, which is octopus
tentacle marinated in lemon and lime juice with olive bell
Pepper's avocado and a pepper almond foam.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Jimmy, you would try that, wouldn't you.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
I would try it, except for they would have to
make it without the avocado just because of the allergy.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Mm.

Speaker 5 (08:56):
Yeah, but yeah, of course, I like I eat calamario
all the time, which is essentially octopus.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Kelmar is great. If you fry it, you won't even
know what it is like legitimately.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, that's a lot of things. Actually, if you fry it,
you never know what you're eating.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
Yeah. I would love to.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
See you eat one of my oysters, but you would
never chaste the oyster because it's just the oyster is
a delivery system for the cheese and the garlic and
the butter.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Can I read you one of the drinks on the menu?

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Is it the one with the octopus tentacle sticking out
of it? Uh?

Speaker 3 (09:33):
It is not it is the salty seas mark arita.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Okay, is it spicy?

Speaker 3 (09:44):
It doesn't say it's a tequila corch uh quintro uh
li cure ube and limes. I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Is there really a drink when the octopus tent sticking
out of it?

Speaker 5 (09:58):
It might have just been a picture of the actual
that he mentioned. It looks it comes like in a
in a cup looking serving dish.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
But yeah, there's a.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Well how about this the plunders Plunderer's punch the kraken
black spiced rum, BlackBerry, lime and vanilla served in a
souvenir pirate skull mug.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
There you go. That's one of those things we'd buy
when we were out of Disney and be like, why
did I spend twenty dollars or on a red slushie?
Oh there's booze in it.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
That's that's why, Scott. Do they have a picture of
that mug?

Speaker 5 (10:30):
Yes, they do say that to me.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Elsewhere. I regret not going to experience it. Well, actually
wasn't ready yet, but I went to Disney Springs last weekend.
Oh oh you did, Yeah, I told you. I had
a psa about this.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
How did how did this go because Disney Springs, you
never know what you're gonna get.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
I really wanted Legos, and I'm an adult, I can
buy Legos legs. I legitimately went to go to the
Lego store.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Mm hmmm, and here's do you have?

Speaker 5 (11:13):
You have an animal pass right now for Disney? Yes, yeah,
I'm pretty sure we get a discount.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
The problem is I looked at all the sets. I
don't know if I have room for any of them.
There were three that I really wanted to get. I
might have to go back, and I know that's the thing,
but it's but I was like, there's a sound wave
transformer one that one's it doesn't go out, it goes
straight up that and you can transform him into being
a boombox. Takes a plus room that way.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, that's Scott great.

Speaker 5 (11:41):
Buying Legos is like having a kid. There's never a
good time. You're never gonna have a space. You're just
gonna have to figure it out.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
I I know, I completely agree with you. When I
was at Kennedy Space Under a couple of weeks ago,
when I saw the Saturn five Lego set, I wanted
to buy that as well.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
The Artemis set.

Speaker 5 (12:00):
I uh, I've it's been leaked to me that I
might be under the tree.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Somebody, somebody gave me some some early news. Yeah, well
all right, So what's what's the PSA for Disney Springs.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
So if you were parking in the garage at Disney Springs, say,
like the Lime garage.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
That's the one I normally park at.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yeah, and as you're about to go up the ramp,
if your vehicle hits the little sign, the clearant sign,
don't go any further.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah, you probably want to somebody just drive right through
and just keep going. Yes, And what happened?

Speaker 3 (12:42):
They got stuck?

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Oh god.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
And if you want to know where I was behind them?
I was right behind them.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
As if that garage is not a nightmare in itself.
Now you're what kind of vehicle was this?

Speaker 4 (12:55):
It was?

Speaker 3 (12:57):
It was like one of the big It was like
a big sprinter van.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Oh, one of those real tall ones we could basically
stand up in.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
It did s a wtks on the side.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
It had no logos on it. And here's the thing.
This one was behind one that also had this happen.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Oh it didn't work out with the guy in front
of me. Let me give it a try.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
So then you know there's a Luckily there was a
cast member that was like whoa, so it didn't get
too far stuck. It was able to back out. And
then they were like, hey, you're gonna need to like
get out of the way so these all these cars
behind you can get through. And then they start backing
up like directly, Like I start like neutral rolling down

(13:40):
the incline.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
You already know they're not a good driver, so let's
just roll right indo you.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
It was like, oh my god, like, did you not
hear you hit the sign? I know it like sways
back and forth.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
But chances are it's a tourist that rented that van
and just like they're you know, clueless of driving a
vehicle like that.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
But as they get out of the way and I
go up, I look at the cast member and they
just have the lug. We both have the look of
really like what are we doing.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Here driving that thing? Like a radio station intern through
a McDonald's draft through.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
On the roof of the van.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
But needles to say, I didn't buy any lego. I
did scope out some that I didn't even know existed,
like the sound wave transformers. One didn't know what existed,
so I'm gonna have to uh price price around on
that one.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
And then I went to a white Castle because I
was on that side of town.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Is a white Castle here?

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah, it's been open for like three years.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
It's been more than that. I think it opened in
like twenty twenty.

Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah, it's been. Yeah, it's been open for a while.
And you know what, it's still busy on a Sunday
at six o'clock.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Okay, all right, so no Legos. But how busy was
Disney Spring How frustrated were you outside of being stuck
behind that van?

Speaker 3 (14:54):
I wasn't. The thing is, there's a line to get
into the Lego store, so I had to wait outside
for like ten minutes.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Eh, it's gonna wait in line to go to a store.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Well, the thing is I had already committed. I had
already committed to going there, So I'm like, I'm gonna
wait in this line.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
And it's never that big of a deal for the line.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
No, the problem was, it's just the where the line started.
I was the first person out of the shade, of course,
but always listen to a podcast. It was fine, but
over at Disney Springs, Jack Lindsay's Hangar Bar, which James
has gone to. They have a Halloween menu. Oh okay,

(15:38):
Alien Invader sliders in August, starting August nineteenth through November fourth. Okay,
alien invader sliders which are natural hot chicken sliders. Okay, dumplings,
Zombie eye bits which are deviled eggs with a fried
chicken on top. That sounds good, a couple of drinks.

(16:01):
There's a mojo pork sandwich. Actually that might be taco actually,
but oh yeah, just Halloween themed food. And like you know,
the sliders have little olive eyeballs on top of them.
Oh yeah, to make them look like it's an alien.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Very nice.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah. Good.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
So we are officially now, even though you've been saying
it since January, we are now actually easing into spooky
se Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
And I know, did Jimmy's love the Jimmy loves this
place or has been before and enjoyed his experience.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
Yes, you got the right. You want to get be
in the diapell. That's the spot you want to be in.
Although just keep in mind, when you're in the diapell,
everybody stares at you because they want to be in
the diapell.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
But you recommended the bacon, the smoke bacon that was
like in a glass yard temple of bacon.

Speaker 4 (16:55):
I think it's what it was called.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
That sounds good.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
All right.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Well, speaking of eating out at the parks, James, you
have a big anniversary coming up and you have to
be celebrating at one of our fine resort restaurants.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
Yes, my wife and I we went on our first
date twenty years ago at Narcoussi's at the Grand Floridian.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Big spender for a first date. You must have really
liked Lauren when you first had the opportunity to meet her,
because that's not a that's.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
Not a that's not a dollar medial.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
Yeah no, no, And I was.

Speaker 5 (17:32):
I was on the air on TKS on this radio station,
so you know I was making like twenty four thousand
dollars a year.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
You may have fat you're making that.

Speaker 5 (17:42):
Yeah, yeah, I think actually Catherine Brown was pretty pissed
that she had to pay me that much.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
So yeah, I was able to book a reservation for
narcusis crazy thing. I would put a table a two
and there was nothing available on anywhere. If I went
to a party of three, suddenly everything had availability.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
That's so weird. What Disney's deal with that?

Speaker 4 (18:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (18:06):
So I found the date and time that I wanted,
and I did a party of four, and I was like,
we'll just invite some friends, you know, close friends to
have dinner with us or whatever.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
And Lauren's like, nah, I don't think I like that idea.

Speaker 5 (18:18):
So you know, let's just keep it you and I
because it is very expensive and that's asking a lot
of you know, somebody else. So I logged in, checked
it out, and lo and behold, there was a party
of two, same exact time that I had my party
of four.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Perfect.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
So notice we weren't asked.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
He knows, he knows what the answer would be for me.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
Yeah, I know, and then he.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Doesn't have to even think about that.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
Well, you actually looked into going one time, and what
happened because you didn't.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Like the food?

Speaker 2 (18:51):
I know, I don't even know. If I got to
the food part, I saw the prices and that was
that was the immediate stuff for me right there, because
it is it is pricey, it is not it is
not for the timate.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
Well, it's also a seafood restaurant.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yeah, that's another issue.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
You don't do.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
Yeah, you don't do any fish.

Speaker 5 (19:10):
No, okay, well, then there's not even a point because
like the whole menu is a Korean barby glaze salmon,
black and red fish, uh pant skeered scallopski done, golf shrimp.
You do golf golf shrimp. Right, Nope, you don't do

(19:30):
shrimp comes from the ocean.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
That's apasta dish. Then there's a New York Strip.

Speaker 5 (19:35):
Yep, there you go. I got that New York Strip
sixty steal. But are you gonna have how are you
having you prepared?

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Is it ala carte that as it comes with sides?

Speaker 4 (19:50):
It comes with it does come with sides.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Okay, all right, I would do that. I would do
that medium rare.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Hmm okay, all right, that's you are a little cultured.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
Yeah, I will allow you to get the steak because
if you said anything more like a degree warmer than
medium rare, I was gonna be like, no, you can't
have it surfing Like it's just a little.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Bit more than medium rare, but not to medium. I'm
like a medium. You go medium and then they sometimes
cook it too much.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
No, you gotta go blue rare.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Oh no, no, I can't do that.

Speaker 5 (20:24):
It's basically rare, but it's a seared crust on the
outside and the inside is just tender raw me.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
You're just eating raw me to But you might as
well just go in a field and bite a cow
at that point.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Do that?

Speaker 5 (20:38):
No, that'd be mean. Just tip them over while they're sleeping.
So you asking about surfing surf? Would you eat lobster?

Speaker 2 (20:45):
No, of course, I just throw it in the trash.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
Well, that's eighty nine dollars. What about pork chop?

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Yeah, I love a pork chop.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
That's great, all right, Okay, you could do the pork
chop milk brine pork chop forty nine dollars man, or
you could get the vegetarian meal for thirty six.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
That's what my wife would eat, and it'd be sad.
It seems a shame to buy something so sad, spend
thirty six dollars on a pile of grass and nonsense.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
I would try every single thing that Jimmy has said.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
All right, I found something I think Dickerman would love.
It's a side, but it's like a family style side.
French fries, loaded mashed potatoes, garlic glazed pork belly, smoked
cheddar and uh, that's some French words.

Speaker 4 (21:31):

front of me.

to have the bests on grout and potatoes. I don't
know if that place is open anymore.

Like Christeners was a part of like the del Frisco's family,
like the the two of them owned it together, and
one like basically sold their steak and it just became Christeners.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Okay, well, I've got a connection to the Christners family.

Uh. The Mariachi Cobra is playing at the Sounds of
Epcot right now. And I say this as somebody that
has seen them perform the national anthem at Orlando City
Games once a year. It is the one of the
best performances I've ever seen. I've never seen an act
have a stadium in the palm of their hand. They

(22:39):

Speaker 3 (23:11):
You need to get to the park, is what you
need to do, wait for summer to end.

Waiting for summer to end. And maybe a promotional offer,
maybe a coupon.

Speaker 3 (23:20):

You can do meet and greets.
