That's they count kind of figured it out right. It's
a CPA for yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yeah, yeah, just don't get Wesley snapskay because he's probing.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah he's terrible. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
But yeah, that was a big credit card swipe this week.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Mhmm. We've all had those.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
We feel it, you know what, And maybe people are
feeling right now with with various events coming up. But
if you want to save some credit card swipes, take
your friends, take your significant ever significant others, do your

Speaker 3 (06:32):
How many times not a title and the T shirt
says blood type Pumpkins Spies Lotte. I've been every year
since that I missed it.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
The first year you did miss the first year the
one that.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
You I felt since I made it a thing, I
didn't want to take up somebody else's spot.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
I didn't feel like that would be fair.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Did you miss it the first two years? I think
this is the first.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
I think it was just the first year, but it
could have been the first two years.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I don't guarantee and away together, but I have been
every year since last year. We gave blood to get
a free ticket. This she'll get blood again to get
a free ticket. As long as as long as they
can get some blood out of these veins, we'll be
doing it.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And well, the thing is, we we've learned that you
can't remember a lot of things.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Getting too much blood.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I don't blame it on that.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Okay, Well, I think it's because your blood's basically marsala.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
At this point, I don't know what marsala is. What
is that? It's like a mushroom sauce. That's some chicken.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
We'll make you eat it. We'll make you eat it.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
It'd much more likely be ketchup and.

We'll make you eat it. Do you want Do you
want the Lego Desk Star?
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Oh no, because Jimmy's gonna have to put it together.

There's too many instructions there for me.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
From being honest, I would never I literally, I have
had the Game of Thrones thrown room, which is like
a Lego knockoff. Since Game of Thrones was super popular,
we just put it together like two weeks ago.

you mean?
Speaker 6 (08:00):
We?

My wife and I.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And when you say we, she did a lot of
the work. You were in the room.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I handed her the pieces when she would ask for
a piece.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I mean that's teamwork.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah. Remember for a long time.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Remember when we build the desks together, I do. And
how long that took the three of us to do?
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Mm hmmke had desks. Thou's not our fault. No, No,
those weren't bad. Did that take a long time?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yes, it did because we were afraid we were going
to break things.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Well, the glass does make me nervous. Yeah. Even when
Jimmy and I hung my TV roller, Oh well, it's
like one of those super thin ones.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I'm like, oh, this is scary. Hang into TV's nothing.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
You seemed a little nervous about it too. I was
surprised at your nervousness. You're the one that usually brings
confidence to these projects. A TV It felt like it
was cracking your hands.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, I have some really misplaced confidence.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, I can confidently say that on October tenth, we
will be at Halloween Horror Nites.

out my outfit with a purchase? Yes, yes, I did.
Speaker 3 (09:31):

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Is this? Yes?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Scott doesn't want to match with us, Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I found a vintage website that sells like vintage merch okay,
and they were selling a Halloween Horror Nights nineteen ninety
seven shirt.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Oh wow, that's cool, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Like, I like, I have to buy this, Like we're.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Going to be here. I went up.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
That's the year I went. I went like to one
of the very early ones.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
It's the sticky wall, that's all I remember.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I had the people under the stairs that year. Actually
they had people under the stairs for a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, the first few years.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Yeah, that's not really a bad bookmarket you can use,
but that was a Fantastic House.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Yeah, I mean had a sticky wall.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I think that was all of the sticky wall.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Do you think Universal would get upset if I wore
this shirt? Yes?
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Ah? Uh, you don't have to watch the stream. If
you're well listening to this on the radio, you have
to watch it on the stream.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
You can't. Yeah, we can't repeat that on the air.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Uh. Nineteen ninety seven was Halloween Horror Night's seven Freightmares.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Okay, I think I was at four, but that might
just be a made up memory in my brain.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
This one had a hotel hell Tombs of Terror in
Universal's Museum of Horror.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Y'all remember when they said that rat chicken there and
they'd put live rats on her and she'd be in
like a plexiglass box.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah, that was the first time I ever went. Yeah,
that was cool.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
But it's the year the the shirt is it was
it's the eyeball with the green goblin little thing biting
the eye the eyelid.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, I know the one you're talking right. Yeah, I'll have.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
To see it when you wear it, Well, you will
see it, or I could just text you a picture
of it.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Back in the old days, like I guess it was
still the late nineties, like, and they would always send
beatles used to the radio station to come and do
interviews for Halloween Horne. It's like they would come to us.
We weren't broadcasting there. They would come to us, you know,
to do a little bit where to run around the
morning shows.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
So I was talking to somebody about us recently because
I remember one year that they brought somebody else into
the building.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
The clown, the clown Jack the clown, right.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yes, because I remember listening to then Doc and Johnny
mm hmmm, and Jack chasing Johnny around.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Player player play, yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
And I believe he was hiding under the board.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Johnny's so fun in a hot house.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
And all I can tell you is, you guys know,
one of my biggest fears in life are clowns. I've
made this.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Very new and Fritz and Johnny apparently.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I am terrified of Art the clown because he's a
roaming character.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yet you watched all the Terrifiers.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I've watched all the Terrifier movies. I know you have
as well, because you said you were going to watch
them in succession, like two.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Minutes into the first one.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
But there are pictures in a video of him walking
into restaurants.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Mm hmmm, oh into restaurants. It's off off, Yeah, that
seems like it's off.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Path there, restaurants, stores, cues for other houses.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
What if you're in the bathroom, can he go and
just shake the door?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I saw on social media somebody claiming that that happened.
I cannot verify. That is unverified. It could just be
conjecture on somebody's part. But yeah, I'm I feel like
I'm gonna have to be like a head on a swivel,
like when we're there.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
So you don't like clowns, I don't like.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
No, I don't like clowns.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
That on the radio before we go to the event.
Because he's probably listening right now.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
I know, I know Scott or Dickerman. Do you see
how red you've made Scott's face.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Well, that's because of the work that he's made me
have to do.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
You shouldn't hit it out in my comedy. It's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Well I am, because I want to keep being invited
to places.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Boy sensitive nowadays back to the nineties with Taco Bell
and Beetlejuice.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Nobody knows it.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Yeah, you do, sitting over there and you're a high
horse to mil Vienna.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
What you know.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Well, in other news of your favorite roller coasters is
getting a special theme in about ten days.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
I have not written this coaster yet. I'm very upset
about this and now I want to write it even more.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
You haven't written it. I thought you guys wrote it together.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Oh wait, I'm thinking of a different ride. So yes,
I have written this roller coaster. There's two different Thames coming. Yeah,
are in Guasi, Like what are we talking about here?
We're talking about the Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic one
because we are in September, and then on September twenty
first year. Yeah, uh where they played the song September
(14:33):
to over and over right, Yeah, twenty first Yeah, because
the lyrics mentioned on the twenty first to September.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
But also one bit, but also for tron aries, they'll
be re theming Tron light cycle run to have the
nine Snails score and getting it a red overlay.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Let me tell you something, not to go back to
the nineties again, but if if you asked me back
in the day, like do I see Walt Disney World
and nine.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Inch Nail is doing a theme up.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
The answer would be absolute no, that that will never happen,
And yet here we are in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Nine Inch Nails.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
And Tara Pantera once did a song for SpongeBob, like
on an episode of SpongeBob.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
SpongeBob was Edgi.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
I uh, what's it Edgie in nineteen ninety nine?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Probably I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I mean the thing is, if you had asked Trent
Reznor about that in the nineties, he would also have
the same thought. Probably yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I have seen him do interviews where he talks about
like at this point in his life, it's embarrassing when
he's like at a school function for his kids and
other parents come up to him and ask him about
some of their more interesting song lyrics from back in
the day.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Just here for pta meeting bro.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I still want to Here's the thing. Did you guys
see the movies, the Pixar movie Soul.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
No, I saw parts of it. I think it's really good.
That was that was a victim of COVID totally.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
It was a it was a day. I think it
got really straight to uh Disney. Plus, I don't think
it ever got a theatrical release, which they should just
put it back in theaters now and just see what happens.
But that movie scored Trent resident An ex Ross. Really
it's really good. That's the thing. Like I was talking
to somebody about this because nine inch Nails was here yesterday.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
In concert in Orlando.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, they're touring.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I missed it.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Yeah, who No, I didn't know what he'd tell me.
This is what happens. You don't work in radio anymore.
I don't know when nine inch Nails comes through town.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I found out on Monday.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
What the heck?
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Man, because Jickerman, you used to find out about these
concerts by reading the price exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yeah right, I go down immediately and talk to whether
it be a Glory or a Leah or Jimmy or whoever, Hey,
can I get a pair of tickets for nine inch Nails?
Their eyes and fine?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Here?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I thought about doing it, but I found out I
really did. I really did. But I feel like that
was one of those like they're not going to have
any But the thing is, like I was such a
I've told you this, Like I'm such a like late
into becoming a fan of them, Like I didn't discover
them until like ten years ago, because like that wasn't
like my like age range when they were big. Yeah,
(17:36):
and I really discovered like Trent Reznor come the Social
Network score, which is amazing.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Well, it's it's interesting, that's that's how you became introduced
to Now all these kids today are being interested, like
the Death Tones by a TikTok. Like death Tones are
absolutely bigger than they have ever been because of TikTok.
I mean, they're selling out arenas because people found them
on TikTok. It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Oh man, Adrenaline is such a great record too. It's cool. Good.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
It's good to see, you know, people finding old things
new and like, you know, discovering this and getting a
resurgence to these artists. Not like Nine Nails, I really
went away, But Trent's been doing these scores and soundtracks
for a while.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I mean they kind of did go, like they didn't
tour for the longest time.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Besides like Trust Listener, Yeah, Trent Resnor like retired from
touring and now he's back.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Dang it.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I can't believe I missed it.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I know, I very much am like kicked. I well,
if I didn't spend as much money as I did.
Uh this week, I probably would.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Have, you know, b Yeah, all right, well, somebody give
me a heads up of either Coheaton Cambri or taking
back Sandy or coming back.
Speaker 3 (18:42):

It literally last Saturday they were in Tampa, both of
them together.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I know they were touring together.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Oh my god, I thought that you actually knew. That's
why you said those two.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
I saw our friend Brian post about it, but I
didn't realize they were together. I thought he was just
going to see one of the two, and I didn't
realize they were playing together.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
They were playing together at the Tampam.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
People ask me what I missed about radio. This is
the only.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Thing it's valid. Honestly, if it were for my job
putting up calendar things, I wouldn't know about a lot
of these things.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
My fan drive somewhere and see him.
Speaker 2 (19:25):

Wait, can we get in like some sort of category
for this show?
Speaker 2 (20:03):

the number two theme park themed show on this radio station.

But Universal Universe Orlando Universal Epic Universe dominated the awards.
They won Best New Attraction Installation for Harry Potter and

I've actually been by it. You've driven past, I've driven
past it.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Apparently it's a great water park. If it's been at
the top for a long time.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
It very much is. I believe when I was there.
It's because it's like, you know, unlike here, a lot
of theme parks are seasonal, Like remember when you went
to Dollywood. Well you didn't actually go to Dollywood, but
like when you were closed. But yeah, so it's like that,
like a lot of like the northern ones are only
open during certain times.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Of year, right, yeah, yeah, close them down the in
the winter.

September twelve, they're doing a blood drive at the iHeartMedia Studios.

go you donate blood, which is a great thing to
do anyhow because it helps save lives. But also if
you donate blood, you get a free ticket to Hollow
Scream at SeaWorld, which is awesome, and a Pumpkin Spice
T shirt and pupil last Yes, I did the iHeart

Well, here's the thing. This package because it includes like express,
it also includes unlimited drinks mmmm and unlimited popcorn or CHROs.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
Now, let me ask you, since you do this podcast,
can you write this whole trip off? If you talk
about it on the.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Air, I'll talk to my tax person about it.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Yeah, you should.

But do you already itemize your taxes?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Scott? Yes, yes, Scott's anzer. You gotta do.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
You do the soccer, so you gotta you gotta itemize. Yeah,

whole thing off. You can how that works on a
way that means.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
They figure it out. That's not that's not for me
to figure out.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
That's they count kind of figured it out right. It's
a CPA for yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yeah, yeah, just don't get Wesley snapskay because he's probing.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah he's terrible. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
But yeah, that was a big credit card swipe this week.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Mhmm. We've all had those.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
We feel it, you know what, And maybe people are
feeling right now with with various events coming up. But
if you want to save some credit card swipes, take
your friends, take your significant ever significant others, do your
blood donation. You get a free Hallow Scream ticket. It's
not a bad deal.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, go to Hollow Scream. Dickerman presented by Dickerman in
a way.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Dickerman presents Hollow Scream at Sea World Orlando.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
How many times not a title and the T shirt
says blood type Pumpkins Spies Lotte. I've been every year
since that I missed it.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
The first year you did miss the first year the
one that.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
You I felt since I made it a thing, I
didn't want to take up somebody else's spot.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
I didn't feel like that would be fair.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Did you miss it the first two years? I think
this is the first.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
I think it was just the first year, but it
could have been the first two years.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I don't guarantee and away together, but I have been
every year since last year. We gave blood to get
a free ticket. This she'll get blood again to get
a free ticket. As long as as long as they
can get some blood out of these veins, we'll be
doing it.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And well, the thing is, we we've learned that you
can't remember a lot of things.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Getting too much blood.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I don't blame it on that.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
Okay, Well, I think it's because your blood's basically marsala.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
At this point, I don't know what marsala is. What
is that? It's like a mushroom sauce. That's some chicken.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
We'll make you eat it. We'll make you eat it.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
It'd much more likely be ketchup and.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
We'll make you eat it. Do you want Do you
want the Lego Desk Star?
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Oh no, because Jimmy's gonna have to put it together.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
There's too many instructions there for me.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
From being honest, I would never I literally, I have
had the Game of Thrones thrown room, which is like
a Lego knockoff. Since Game of Thrones was super popular,
we just put it together like two weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
What do you mean in my house? Wait? What do
you mean?
Speaker 6 (08:00):
We?
Speaker 3 (08:01):
My wife and I.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
And when you say we, she did a lot of
the work. You were in the room.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I handed her the pieces when she would ask for
a piece.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I mean that's teamwork.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah. Remember for a long time.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Remember when we build the desks together, I do. And
how long that took the three of us to do?
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Mm hmmke had desks. Thou's not our fault. No, No,
those weren't bad. Did that take a long time?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yes, it did because we were afraid we were going
to break things.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Well, the glass does make me nervous. Yeah. Even when
Jimmy and I hung my TV roller, Oh well, it's
like one of those super thin ones.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I'm like, oh, this is scary. Hang into TV's nothing.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
You seemed a little nervous about it too. I was
surprised at your nervousness. You're the one that usually brings
confidence to these projects. A TV It felt like it
was cracking your hands.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Yeah, I have some really misplaced confidence.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, I can confidently say that on October tenth, we
will be at Halloween Horror Nites.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
That is right, So we can give the full Theme
Park Podcast late layout of the event top the bottom,
front to back.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
We'll get the early view, then we'll go through the night.
Then next week we'll have the official review on the show,
which is pretty darn exciting.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
And did I because I am a child already playing
out my outfit with a purchase? Yes, yes, I did.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You're gonna do it?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Are we gonna do outfits together?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Is this? Yes?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Scott doesn't want to match with us, Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I found a vintage website that sells like vintage merch okay,
and they were selling a Halloween Horror Nights nineteen ninety
seven shirt.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Oh wow, that's cool, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Like, I like, I have to buy this, Like we're.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Going to be here. I went up.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
That's the year I went. I went like to one
of the very early ones.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
It's the sticky wall, that's all I remember.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
I had the people under the stairs that year. Actually
they had people under the stairs for a couple of years.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, the first few years.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Yeah, that's not really a bad bookmarket you can use,
but that was a Fantastic House.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Yeah, I mean had a sticky wall.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
I think that was all of the sticky wall.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Do you think Universal would get upset if I wore
this shirt? Yes?
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Ah? Uh, you don't have to watch the stream. If
you're well listening to this on the radio, you have
to watch it on the stream.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
You can't. Yeah, we can't repeat that on the air.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Uh. Nineteen ninety seven was Halloween Horror Night's seven Freightmares.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Okay, I think I was at four, but that might
just be a made up memory in my brain.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
This one had a hotel hell Tombs of Terror in
Universal's Museum of Horror.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Y'all remember when they said that rat chicken there and
they'd put live rats on her and she'd be in
like a plexiglass box.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah, that was the first time I ever went. Yeah,
that was cool.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
But it's the year the the shirt is it was
it's the eyeball with the green goblin little thing biting
the eye the eyelid.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yeah, I know the one you're talking right. Yeah, I'll have.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
To see it when you wear it, Well, you will
see it, or I could just text you a picture
of it.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Back in the old days, like I guess it was
still the late nineties, like, and they would always send
beatles used to the radio station to come and do
interviews for Halloween Horne. It's like they would come to us.
We weren't broadcasting there. They would come to us, you know,
to do a little bit where to run around the
morning shows.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
So I was talking to somebody about us recently because
I remember one year that they brought somebody else into
the building.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
The clown, the clown Jack the clown, right.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yes, because I remember listening to then Doc and Johnny
mm hmmm, and Jack chasing Johnny around.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Player player play, yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
And I believe he was hiding under the board.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Johnny's so fun in a hot house.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
And all I can tell you is, you guys know,
one of my biggest fears in life are clowns. I've
made this.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Very new and Fritz and Johnny apparently.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I am terrified of Art the clown because he's a
roaming character.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yet you watched all the Terrifiers.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I've watched all the Terrifier movies. I know you have
as well, because you said you were going to watch
them in succession, like two.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Minutes into the first one.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
But there are pictures in a video of him walking
into restaurants.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Mm hmmm, oh into restaurants. It's off off, Yeah, that
seems like it's off.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Path there, restaurants, stores, cues for other houses.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
What if you're in the bathroom, can he go and
just shake the door?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I saw on social media somebody claiming that that happened.
I cannot verify. That is unverified. It could just be
conjecture on somebody's part. But yeah, I'm I feel like
I'm gonna have to be like a head on a swivel,
like when we're there.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
So you don't like clowns, I don't like.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
No, I don't like clowns.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
That on the radio before we go to the event.
Because he's probably listening right now.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
I know, I know Scott or Dickerman. Do you see
how red you've made Scott's face.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Well, that's because of the work that he's made me
have to do.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
You shouldn't hit it out in my comedy. It's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Well I am, because I want to keep being invited
to places.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Boy sensitive nowadays back to the nineties with Taco Bell
and Beetlejuice.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Nobody knows it.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Yeah, you do, sitting over there and you're a high
horse to mil Vienna.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
What you know.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Well, in other news of your favorite roller coasters is
getting a special theme in about ten days.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
I have not written this coaster yet. I'm very upset
about this and now I want to write it even more.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
You haven't written it. I thought you guys wrote it together.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Oh wait, I'm thinking of a different ride. So yes,
I have written this roller coaster. There's two different Thames coming. Yeah,
are in Guasi, Like what are we talking about here?
We're talking about the Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic one
because we are in September, and then on September twenty
first year. Yeah, uh where they played the song September
(14:33):
to over and over right, Yeah, twenty first Yeah, because
the lyrics mentioned on the twenty first to September.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
But also one bit, but also for tron aries, they'll
be re theming Tron light cycle run to have the
nine Snails score and getting it a red overlay.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Let me tell you something, not to go back to
the nineties again, but if if you asked me back
in the day, like do I see Walt Disney World
and nine.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Inch Nail is doing a theme up.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
The answer would be absolute no, that that will never happen,
And yet here we are in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Nine Inch Nails.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
And Tara Pantera once did a song for SpongeBob, like
on an episode of SpongeBob.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
SpongeBob was Edgi.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
I uh, what's it Edgie in nineteen ninety nine?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Probably I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I mean the thing is, if you had asked Trent
Reznor about that in the nineties, he would also have
the same thought. Probably yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I have seen him do interviews where he talks about
like at this point in his life, it's embarrassing when
he's like at a school function for his kids and
other parents come up to him and ask him about
some of their more interesting song lyrics from back in
the day.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Just here for pta meeting bro.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I still want to Here's the thing. Did you guys
see the movies, the Pixar movie Soul.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
No, I saw parts of it. I think it's really good.
That was that was a victim of COVID totally.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
It was a it was a day. I think it
got really straight to uh Disney. Plus, I don't think
it ever got a theatrical release, which they should just
put it back in theaters now and just see what happens.
But that movie scored Trent resident An ex Ross. Really
it's really good. That's the thing. Like I was talking
to somebody about this because nine inch Nails was here yesterday.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
In concert in Orlando.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, they're touring.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I missed it.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Yeah, who No, I didn't know what he'd tell me.
This is what happens. You don't work in radio anymore.
I don't know when nine inch Nails comes through town.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I found out on Monday.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
What the heck?
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Man, because Jickerman, you used to find out about these
concerts by reading the price exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yeah right, I go down immediately and talk to whether
it be a Glory or a Leah or Jimmy or whoever, Hey,
can I get a pair of tickets for nine inch Nails?
Their eyes and fine?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Here?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I thought about doing it, but I found out I
really did. I really did. But I feel like that
was one of those like they're not going to have
any But the thing is, like I was such a
I've told you this, Like I'm such a like late
into becoming a fan of them, Like I didn't discover
them until like ten years ago, because like that wasn't
like my like age range when they were big. Yeah,
(17:36):
and I really discovered like Trent Reznor come the Social
Network score, which is amazing.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
Well, it's it's interesting, that's that's how you became introduced
to Now all these kids today are being interested, like
the Death Tones by a TikTok. Like death Tones are
absolutely bigger than they have ever been because of TikTok.
I mean, they're selling out arenas because people found them
on TikTok. It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Oh man, Adrenaline is such a great record too. It's cool. Good.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
It's good to see, you know, people finding old things
new and like, you know, discovering this and getting a
resurgence to these artists. Not like Nine Nails, I really
went away, But Trent's been doing these scores and soundtracks
for a while.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I mean they kind of did go, like they didn't
tour for the longest time.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Besides like Trust Listener, Yeah, Trent Resnor like retired from
touring and now he's back.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Dang it.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I can't believe I missed it.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I know, I very much am like kicked. I well,
if I didn't spend as much money as I did.
Uh this week, I probably would.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Have, you know, b Yeah, all right, well, somebody give
me a heads up of either Coheaton Cambri or taking
back Sandy or coming back.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
All right, you're rubbing your head.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
They were just here the last weekend. Shut up, I'm serious.
It literally last Saturday they were in Tampa, both of
them together.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I know they were touring together.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Oh my god, I thought that you actually knew. That's
why you said those two.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
I saw our friend Brian post about it, but I
didn't realize they were together. I thought he was just
going to see one of the two, and I didn't
realize they were playing together.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
They were playing together at the Tampam.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
People ask me what I missed about radio. This is
the only.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Thing it's valid. Honestly, if it were for my job
putting up calendar things, I wouldn't know about a lot
of these things.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
My fan drive somewhere and see him.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Do you want one last little bit of a theme
park news?
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Yeah? Or we could just talk about bands.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
The twenty twenty five Golden Ticket Awards were announced this week.

on the amusement park industry and attractions by recognizing the
best of the best.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Wait, can we get in like some sort of category
for this show?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Probably not, because we're not a theme.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Park Okay, I just yeah, I figured.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Yeah, and Dickerman, we aren't even like in the top
ten of the best.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
According to who we are the we are the top
ranked theme park podcast named the theme park Podcast.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
That's right, that's right, we're the number one, well, maybe
the number two theme park themed show on this radio station.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
But Universal Universe Orlando Universal Epic Universe dominated the awards.
They won Best New Attraction Installation for Harry Potter and
the Ministry. A Battle at the Ministry.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Makes sense for installation that's broken down like half the time.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
It's it's it's a one of a kind ride. It
is getting more and more dialed in every day, just
like it was with Galaxies exactly. Yeah, is still broken. Yeah.
Best new roller coaster for stardust Racers.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Volcano Bay also dethrowing dethroned Schlitterbond in Texas as the
best water park. Schlitterbond I've never heard of that.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I'm not gonna try and say it either.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I've actually been by it. You've driven past, I've driven
past it.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Apparently it's a great water park. If it's been at
the top for a long time.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
It very much is. I believe when I was there.
It's because it's like, you know, unlike here, a lot
of theme parks are seasonal, Like remember when you went
to Dollywood. Well you didn't actually go to Dollywood, but
like when you were closed. But yeah, so it's like that,
like a lot of like the northern ones are only
open during certain times.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Of year, right, yeah, yeah, close them down the in
the winter.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Look.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
But for best New Family Attraction, they play second, third,
and fourth with the Harry Potter Ride, Monsters and Chained
in Mario Kart Bowser's.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Challenge, Wow, who is number one?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
It doesn't The thing is the story doesn't actually.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Say oh, because they're only they're only talking about it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
They're talking about but Universal did really well, so congratulations
to them.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Dollywood does really well and those are words too.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Uh yeah, and I sold this week that Nate Bargatzi
is getting a theme park.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Saw that to us.
Speaker 3 (22:32):

Speaker 5 (22:33):
I'm like, it's not Facebook. I don't trust anything anymore.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
And then well that's the thing. I saw it on
like reputable theme park websites and it's like no, like
he's met with investor, Like it's actually a thing.
