Well, hello everyone and welcome to episode 177 of the Mickey File Podcast. I'm Scott, and with me tonight will be my lovely wife, karen, and our good friends Ken and Judy, and Pat and Sandy will be joining us. We're doing something a little different this week. We're in the middle of our cruise of the Disney fantasy, just a little bit past the halfway point, so we sat down in the Skyline Lounge on board the Disney fantasy and just talked about what we've, what all of us have been doing this week, and a whole bunch of unrelated other things. It was a fun, very fun conversation. There is some background noise in the audio because we were in a working lounge. You'll hear some cans being opened and ice drinks being shaken and probably not stirred. But we sat down for I think it's about 40 minutes edited and talked about some of the activities that we've all done and some other things. So we hope you enjoy it and here it is All right. I'll hear Judy's story, which one?
Speaker 2:Oh, one a day. He's here for our entertainment.
Speaker 3:Okay, what tonight? Okay, and I discovered I dropped with the customer, yoyo, that I don't know when we did the tour and he said if you want to have not in the very back and the scooter or wheelchair, he will talk to the cast member and ask for me. So the first man they did and I said Yoyo said that I found the front and they said follow me. So we go down, we get in the elevator, we go down to level one, we walk past the health center and then the cast member opens the door and now we're in the crew quarters and it's a little tiny door, is where they sit. We get to this giant yellow, watertight door. So she raised the bridge and she says, okay, and they open the door. Now you can't walk through the door while it's opening. It has to be totally open, right, you can't walk through halfway and then you get in there, then she shifts the door behind you and now she opens another watertight door and then keep your mind it's under power.
Speaker 4:They're not doing it physically.
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's a button, they're just pressing.
Speaker 3:No, they have to pull this big lever, yeah.
Speaker 1:Which also means that you have to wait like the 40 seconds while the board is slowly on the board Right.
Speaker 3:They open one. They open one, close it. Open one, close it.
Speaker 1:It's like an air one.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I said well, what happened to your sleeping in between the doors? So tonight we do that. I've been doing this every day, right, no problem. So tonight I get on the elevator and when Ken gets on usually I go in and go to the left kind of corner. And last time she said try to the right. So tonight I go in and I kind of went to the right. Ken gets in and it goes on overload. So finally she says Ken, you get out, and so she gets in.
Speaker 3:So up we go, and the front of the scooter was kind of hitting the wall a little bit and jammed the elevator, oh my God. And the lights go out and we're stuck. Oh my God, we're stuck at the elevator. Literally is the size of the scooter, that's all the bigger ones. So she heard the elevator. I find out that she went to the same high school. I went to. Yeah, so we're talking, and I can see she was crying. She called me, so then she called Brad and so finally she went to the right school. So I went to the elevator and she said we really are up, I just can't get the door open.
Speaker 1:Honestly, you're way too deep.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you don't go that far up. Yeah, because you're going from level one, which you're probably only going to level two. Right, because you're going to the front of the theater. Right, you're coming in on stage, right? Right, so the door opens, but now we can't get the scooter out, because now it's switched Actually in the door. The door's open, we'll get the scooter out.
Speaker 5:And you were in the elevator right.
Speaker 1:Thank, God, but you can't even help, like no.
Speaker 4:Because, there was another CM downstairs and I was talking with her for a little bit and then there was another couple that was going to come up. They had a wheelchair and I said you know, I think she has this thing about claustrophobic and the CM standing by the door was looking at me what so?
Speaker 3:anyway, so finally, brad visited another guy. Some engineer showed up and I said wait, what if you release the clutch on the back of the scooter, so that maybe it was a little. So that's what he did and I walked out of the elevator and said let me get out. So I said I'll keep the lights on, I'll push the button to keep the lights on, because if you let the button go the lights won't. Oh my God. So we did make this. But when you do that you end up in the front row.
Speaker 5:Yeah Well, but then you got stuck in an elevator. Is that worth things?
Speaker 3:But I've done it every single day with other crews, and I'll do it again Friday night because they're great seats, it's believed.
Speaker 5:Oh, it's, that yeah.
Speaker 3:And the guy that played Jafar has said to me that he played the father. We listened to him, his name is Ian something, and he talked all about how he got on stage. It's not easy life doing that.
Speaker 4:It's school life, how he started in school and how he actually started with a course right in his church, in church he had the kids and then he played in high school and yeah, Through the year, very interesting.
Speaker 1:And he's been on this boat for whatever it is Nine months or a year or whatever the first time. No, he does just a period kind of.
Speaker 3:He does it like a couple of months. Yeah, he does it between gigs. And he has.
Speaker 2:Broadway and stuff like that.
Speaker 4:Not long term.
Speaker 3:And she told me that he's done in a few weeks I guess it's the seven weeks and she said she's really sad when he leaves the cast and somebody else steps in. So they get people to step in and out of their role and they rehearse all of the shows in Toronto. They do all these shows and get them all to do it in Toronto and these kids are playing dual roles. I said how can they do? I mean, he's doing Aladdin last night and he does Christoff tonight. Oh my god, yeah, amazing, yeah, because I was talking to the cast members and saying, okay, this one played this, and then he said yes, I could see it was the same person.
Speaker 5:Yeah, he looked exactly the same. Yeah, it was very evident.
Speaker 3:But I said I understand the gene was Ola and she said no, A lot of people think that and it's not Because he really had the facial expressions and everything. What's the word? What's the word?
Speaker 5:So right, but no, he had the facial expressions.
Speaker 3:He did yeah, and the way he was acting was she said it's actually the grandpa chrome that came up through the floor. Oh, okay, he's the guy that played James.
Speaker 1:I just don't go with costumes.
Speaker 5:Oh my gosh, when Elsa's dressed, she's gonna dress like this Anna's hair Like how can you? Say that I know it's really funny because actually in ours, when they were putting the dress on Anna her coronation dress I think they were having a problem with it, because she actually started almost giggling. She kept backing up and backing up and I'm like I'm not sure if she's supposed to keep backing up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was really well done. I love the puppets in it.
Speaker 5:The puppets were great, and then her in the bed with her hair like all I know. That was crazy. That was the part I was like he was the hair. Yeah, because it was. You know, I had that t-shirt, the you know what is it? Facebook post and then real work. It's Anna with the hair going.
Speaker 3:It's just so well done. I think why I like Aladdin better is there were the different special effects. I mean, there were great special effects. Yeah, like with the sand going In Aladdin, the magic carpet, that person with the gymnastics and the flipping, and then when they did the magic carpet flight and the screen behind them was amazing. But, as they said in the play, where was Abu at the time?
Speaker 5:Yeah, mr Monkey, aren't you? Yeah, they had the honor. Yes, but they're missing the monkey.
Speaker 3:But the puppet of the other Frozen room. The puppetry was really good and the guy that did Olaf was amazing to that. It was really good.
Speaker 1:I didn't have to have an extra payment on these, obviously, but I don't think they have one less person go on a Disney cruise. They don't have that kind of production. You know what I mean. That's actually something that they do like extra for us.
Speaker 3:I feel like the fact that the stage has so many levels that you can drop down in different areas. That they didn't use a lot of that in Aladdin no, like the big section where they all dropped it yeah, the whole cast.
Speaker 5:And the puppets of child Christoff and Coming up in the front, yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean the fact that we've been rocking for five days. You forget. It's a love.
Speaker 3:And you know, when you're singing in the theater and you get drained in the show, you forget the rock, right? You do, you really do forget it. You forgot the rock, right, kenny? You didn't feel the rocking.
Speaker 5:In the show. The show's from Rocky. What Is it? Rocky, rocky.
Speaker 2:I might have to mix this up.
Speaker 5:Don't come in on him.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the whole show.
Speaker 2:Our bathroom door kept opening up and closing. It does Opening up and closing.
Speaker 5:If you don't launch all the way, that's what happens.
Speaker 2:I haven't launched all the way.
Speaker 5:No, somebody got up in the middle of the night, launched the bathroom and the bed, loved the night and the bathroom did not launch.
Speaker 1:And I kept hearing.
Speaker 3:Was he? I'm hearing this.
Speaker 5:the coat hangers in the closet, oh all of our hangers are in use, so that, yeah, we don't hear that, yeah, it's. Our door whistles the door in the random whistles If it's really, if it's really going to be like it's whistling tonight.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then the other night I looked out and there was water and we're way forward. The water was flashing through our window and we're on deck six.
Speaker 5:Well, the other thing I, oh see, it just did magic. That's why it told me at the time.
Speaker 3:The other thing I found out is that when we were watching through the cast quarters, there's not a lot of doors, there's two levels below that. They sleep on A and B. Underneath Under one there's level A and there's level B and there's cast down there sleeping, and they also are sleeping on three and four, yeah, yeah, and then somebody told me, you know like a crew bar and a restaurant.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and all the uniforms we asked tonight, all their costumes come from a simple costume. I just get the ones they need. They're not storing them in their rooms.
Speaker 5:Which is good because they have a store.
Speaker 3:And then we found out that our head with a headway to where Um my C, her husband, is our room story. That's, that's cool, yeah yeah. And they're from the Dominican Republic. And our other waiter, roman, is Indonesian and he's going home in two weeks when he breaks until April.
Speaker 1:So we did this thing this Saturday and it was a chocolate and a curfew stew. It's delicious and it was really cool Like they had melted chocolate and then some of the chocolate and then parmesan cheese for one of them.
Speaker 5:It was beautiful, it was for the pork, it's okay Um.
Speaker 1:And he uh. So as we were finishing, this guy was coming around and starting to clean up and he goes. This is Ian, he's getting fired. This is his last week. Oh nice, he just kept like waves and just kidding. I'm just kidding, he's going on vacation when we get back.
Speaker 5:But we jokingly say it's getting fired because he's not here. He was our Somali at Palo Verde.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I guess he worked like four or five months and then get a couple of months off.
Speaker 5:And I think it depends on the ship and things like that. So, because I think Charlotte, on the way she was so remember, she came over working on the first bowl.
Speaker 1:She was the brain for me, right. And that cruise that it would ship. It's like a service flight, air and months at a time. Right Bye, so they were still.
Speaker 5:I think she said she was on a six or seven month stint Contract, this one and that contract. This contract was because coming over was its own contract, because when they brought the ship from Germany they were working while they were finishing building the interior on the way over from Germany, so she actually had. Everyone on the crew had to wear a hard hat throughout the ship Because they were still putting together furniture. They were actually helping build furniture.
Speaker 1:On the way from the Netherlands to here, they were building furniture the Wish, the Wish, so they were building furniture, unpacking dishes, not in classes, literally everything. The crew was there.
Speaker 5:And I mean Charlotte was our server of the Pellet and that's what they're doing. But she said that was its own contract coming over and then initial sailing is when the next contract started. And then, yeah, I think she said her is six or seven months.
Speaker 3:Well, robin told us tonight is where we're leaving dinner. He prefers seven days, the seven night crew. He said. I wasn't in Montse, I don't remember, but the three and four night is harder.
Speaker 5:Well, it's a quick turn, Because every night is different. They prefer the longer ones.
Speaker 3:They find that the work is easier to do.
Speaker 1:those I don't know exactly what time you have to be off the boat, when.
Speaker 5:When we get off. We have to be off.
Speaker 1:But they're going to leave in like three hours after I get back. I don't think you'll get off anyway.
Speaker 5:Okay, so like, because we're transportation, they said we need to be off by 9am. Well, we have to be on the bus by 9am. They said just 8.15am.
Speaker 1:They're off the boat you drove over here. At what time you have to be off?
Speaker 3:I think everybody has to be off by 9am, I think that. But even then, I mean they're going to start loading in like 5am.
Speaker 5:They start loading at 11am, which is why the rooms are already into 1.30am.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:And we're going to have them take our luggage, so we have to have it outside the door than at the door.
Speaker 5:Well, because, because trains, and we have to be at breakfast by 7am.
Speaker 3:Saturday morning, I think, with our carry on and everything. I don't think you'll go back to your room, do you?
Speaker 4:When you leave your suitcase outside the door.
Speaker 1:And then when you come back through customs, basically your bags are there waiting for you.
Speaker 5:Right, so just whatever basically you came, whatever your carry on is leaving, that's what you go through customs for.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, for us, the other bags are going to be in the back On the bus.
Speaker 2:Wait, we're actually going to go out and go with our stuff. Well, we're coming up with some stuff. Yeah, three bags are being checked.
Speaker 5:Well, if you didn't have 16 suitcases, do we have that?
Speaker 2:problem. We have 16. All that alcohol you guys are taking home.
Speaker 5:Actually we're not taking home as much this time. I don't mind, not as much as I do, I'm only taking home one bottle, I'm only taking home one bottle, I'm only taking home one bottle.
Speaker 3:I'm only taking home one bottle.
Speaker 1:You know what A rum? Oh yeah, we probably wouldn't have taken home a bottle of wine because we wouldn't have won the last time.
Speaker 3:Which one Take a piece yeah.
Speaker 1:It's probably the one, but I will plenty of get a few.
Speaker 3:Well, when they gave me I want the cool thing today, but I'm short the beer bill.
Speaker 5:He bought that.
Speaker 3:We thought about you. We looked at it and we go man.
Speaker 2:That would be perfect for him.
Speaker 1:He saw it.
Speaker 5:Yeah, because we have Guinness, so he's like I can carry around my beer.
Speaker 1:My world. I'm 16.
Speaker 2:I'm saving time, increasing productivity. That's it. I'm carrying the beer and drink.
Speaker 3:And even the iron hats with the two beer cans and the straw You're not drinking out of the straw.
Speaker 5:That is something else I drink most. I drink a lot of things out of the straw. I drink coffee out of the straw and I can't not drink beer out of the straw, so I thought you could only bring when I came back with the bottle of rum.
Speaker 3:I said to them when I came through and it was security I said here's the bottle of rum. And they said we'll just put it in the bucket. So I did, and I get to the other end and I said he said go, so I would bottle the rum in my room. I thought you could only bring wine and beer, you know.
Speaker 1:So there was there was somebody sitting outside the door the last few days the door of that room there was collecting the bottles. Yeah, they were not in the bottle. I noticed that you had to wait until the day of the bottle. I noticed that you had to wait until the day of the bottle Very easily, but there was a guy sitting there.
Speaker 3:I asked him. He said go ahead, Because I thought I had to turn it in.
Speaker 5:We just got one of the two bottles last time One and they were no, leave it here, leave it here. And then we had to go pick it up on the bars before the office would. It was up, yeah, it was up at one of the coffee bar over there.
Speaker 4:Yeah, but you don't know that that's actually rum. That could be diesel fuel.
Speaker 3:It could be.
Speaker 4:Because you haven't opened it, and it was the place you got it at.
Speaker 5:It's kind of sketchy. Is that a nice way of saying it's sketchy, or unfavorable, or?
Speaker 4:It wasn't a standard commercial building, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Hey, listen, five shots for a dollar. How could you go wrong?
Speaker 4:And they wouldn't take us around back to see what they made of either. Why was that?
Speaker 3:But our driver was born by room. Hey, the facility was almost 400 years old. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2:You said the same boiler.
Speaker 4:That's what they said. That's what they said, and we had the idea.
Speaker 3:But he actually got some bartender to come out of the building Because I was still in the car and she boarded for me while I was sitting in the car and she's got four bottles in her arms and she was telling me what it was and it was about a tablespoon full and the first thing they drank was like okay. And then she told me what they each were and she said which one did you like the most? I said well, I really like the one with more sugar in it. And she said the last one is the kicker. And when I drank that I said actually that's not really bad, but by then I already had four shots, so it didn't matter and so I'll buy one 12 bucks For a pint. I didn't think it was bad.
Speaker 1:Price wise. We went to Nassaw in the last cruise. We went in and bought a bottle of rum and it was a candy roll, and I didn't realize it was a candy roll and that is some strong stuff Like.
Speaker 3:Oh, this is 80.
Speaker 5:So it's basically lighter.
Speaker 1:I think we've had about three shots out of ten months.
Speaker 5:Well, because we actually did a shot when we were recording an episode. We're like, alright, we're going to try this now. And we both were like you're here, god? And I smelled it. I'm like, oh, that is not good. And then, david, I split the shot up like that. And there now, yeah, because I'm like I smelled it, I was like, oh, don't take this the wrong way, but this is not going to be good.
Speaker 1:Then we looked up what baby brown bag it was and it was like 100.
Speaker 5:Yeah well, why did you do this? Because that's what the girls do, nope, and it was like 20, and it was a, it was a 750. And it was probably 20 bucks. I thought it was a 180.
Speaker 3:Now, did you guys go to Turquoise yesterday? Yeah, did you go in? Yeah, do anything or just.
Speaker 5:Literally walked around, walked around all of the stores, walked in to meet the two of them and went ah see ya, we got pictures of the BBI and we put it.
Speaker 1:We went into the first. We went into a liquor store and I bought six packs of like Tara Kareem, whatever it is, yeah. And then that was about it. And we went around, saw all the little charts and tried to find something for lunch and it was just, it was a little expensive, yeah, for street food. Yeah, I mean, there's a pair of kids today and they're talking about it, right, so we didn't meet there. We said you could go to the canals.
Speaker 5:And.
Speaker 3:I could cry, but I got a crab leg and shrimp. We started eating in the restaurant. It's so nice and breakfast is a delight. And no, it's not a chicken garden, it's not a royal court.
Speaker 5:And you just go in there and they say we don't want to be in the top.
Speaker 3:We did breakfast around last couple days around 8. And they'll do eggs anyway you want. So you get a lot of pancakes.
Speaker 5:Well, they said they they can't because they have the choice. They're making waffles, yeah.
Speaker 3:But we're doing housework, yeah.
Speaker 5:Well, you said just come have a waffle.
Speaker 1:I asked him where? And he said there's the bandit's. I thought they had a. I thought they had breakfast on there. I said to him which end?
Speaker 3:which end did breakfast go to Remember?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think, whatever it is, whatever day, the time change. I think they said they left it an hour longer. Yeah, by, normally they don't make a food.
Speaker 3:And they do. They do lunch to what 1.30?.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think 1.30.
Speaker 3:Because we today, they were turning the lights on.
Speaker 1:And I. I think it's good to be here Just to manage the lights on. I think they were different.
Speaker 5:I was really happy with the crab lights and the shrimp.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what else have you guys done for a long time For now?
Speaker 5:Anything fun that like, can that you have like? Oh, that was cool.
Speaker 4:Um well, I thought that it was funny when Judy said that she saw a green barrel going by with a booger on it.
Speaker 5:Was it really?
Speaker 4:No, we were going by the green barrel.
Speaker 5:Oh.
Speaker 3:Check on my camera. I thought we were done. Where'd the rum go? Where'd all the rum go?
Speaker 5:What is that.
Speaker 3:You know what's cool Are the animals in the creations. They leave one of your bed at night.
Speaker 5:Yes, we have a turtle tonight, yeah.
Speaker 3:I just look like a dragon.
Speaker 2:Ew.
Speaker 1:Oh, that may be the one. We have one the other day.

Speaker 1:Let's see oh, it's adorable the Pirates Band Band for last night for some time it was, swans it was a kissing scene.
Speaker 5:That was last night because he used the pirate band in it.
Speaker 1:The guy we had on the wish, I put my hat on my little one.
Speaker 5:Yeah, this is his last night.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's cute.
Speaker 1:We had dinner the other night. They were next to this couple that were on the honeymoon and in the middle of the table they had the two Swans.
Speaker 5:Yeah, In the napkin.
Speaker 2:We did witness a wedding today.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, I actually saw they were setting up for it.

Speaker 1:Take him really.
Speaker 3:Yes he did. I heard, him.
Speaker 1:Yes, he did Because I agreed with him.
Speaker 5:And then I saw them getting pictures on. I saw them on four getting pictures on the balcony and then I saw them again on outside deck. They're doing the whole walkie thing, looking at each other and then looking at each other in the glass.
Speaker 3:And then they were in La Piazza sitting in one of those booths.
Speaker 5:Yeah, they were taking like a billion pictures. Wow, so is that?

Speaker 1:I wonder what that talks about.
Speaker 5:I don't know, I don't know about that, unless the Magic.
Speaker 2:Kingdom will lay there.
Speaker 1:I don't want to get married in three weeks.
Speaker 5:True, yeah, because that's the only way you get married. Magic was three morning and an Epcot, I know, no, no.
Speaker 2:We're already in. We're doing a wedding here. We ran it's like, I guess, $80. In the marriage class of the year. Yeah, you never recover from the financial Right, yeah.
Speaker 3:It's even more exciting than Magic, yeah. So here's my question. Yes, we left Saturday around 4.30. Yeah, and it took us all Saturday night all day Sunday, all day Sunday night, all day Monday, all day Monday night to get here. Yeah, and now we're going to leave tonight and in one day it passed away, we're going to be cast away, which is almost home.
Speaker 1:What are they going to be going? It passed away less than three-hundred miles.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so how fast are they going to be going to get us here tonight?
Speaker 2:It's going to be much more than that. It's running at twenty-two knots. Right now we have a twenty-six mile an hour wind coming from ninety degrees off of our east. That's why the ship is doing that. Right, and we're going to have that row all night long, just like Lionel Richie was saying a few minutes ago.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Give you a look, girl. Oh yeah, so we're going to be tooling at twenty-two knots, twenty-six miles an hour. So we do that Everything in the water is not a four-mile.
Speaker 3:But it's going to be.
Speaker 2:We'll get there in the morning.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we've got all day in the morning.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, we're going to be tooling for quite a while.
Speaker 5:Yeah, and then we will wake up early Friday in Castel. Doctor backwards.
Speaker 3:Straight back into Castel. I tell you, we get in the room Because we're forward In this row. There's so much that I literally cannot walk around the room. Wow, I take a chair at the dresser. I kind of push it like a walker around the room.
Speaker 2:Now where are you guys going to work? We're mid-mids, we're seven, and we've been on quite a few routes and never had one where the ship sustained this kind of roll for endless times. One of the crew members told me please stop that on one like this, I just, and then for them it would be their first one yeah. You know, I'm like I want to apologize to them. I'm not going to. They're paying for our trip too, yeah.
Speaker 5:Did you know that, Cam? I don't know.
Speaker 4:I see nothing.
Speaker 5:Oh, you're Sergeant Schultz, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've been dropping hands.
Speaker 1:We're just a little half of men yeah.
Speaker 3:We're right at the border of.
Speaker 5:Basically, we're right at the border of Midnight.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean when I say we're just going to go over it or something. There's like our room. You know how the hall goes down and then it juts out. Yeah, we're on the part that juts out and I think after our room there's two more doors Right and then it's a bow and a shack, and they may not all be rooms, do you think?
Speaker 3:No, they are rooms, and I know there's rooms that are at the bow, that go. This is why I think they're two or three that way, but it was the only one that I could get. That was the hand to get the tussle.
Speaker 2:We're kind of glad that we didn't get a foul from you this time, because you feel more of it when you're on the outside. It's just a little boat.
Speaker 4:We're in the center. You're in the middle of a tippin. The ship's designed to take that roll out.
Speaker 2:Where they go 30 degrees this way and 30 degrees that way. Those days are not. They can't keep up with this.
Speaker 5:I will say today the way it's been. I haven't noticed it as much in our room as walking around outside the room. I was laying on my side.
Speaker 1:I felt a little bit like I was just a little bit, because I was watching you.
Speaker 3:Being on the scooter. If I'm moving on the scooter I'm really not aware of it, but when I try to walk it's not that steady to start with. It makes it really hard.
Speaker 5:It was worse the other night. Oh yeah, I'd be walking and I'm like, oh, I felt like, alright, I know I've been drinking, but not that bad.
Speaker 3:I have yet to have a meal where I'm not doing. This Depends on which way our table is, whether I'm right to left or front to back, or on these two.
Speaker 5:The only meal I felt it was, whatever it was, and I think because we were, we were this way to Trevor, we were this way. I think if we had been sitting this way, I probably wouldn't have been this way. I actually felt nauseous. That's the only time.
Speaker 1:I mean, I've been on the Loughley. I'm not awesome.
Speaker 5:No, but I mean I even told you this yeah, I've had all the time, I just stopped and meditated in the room.
Speaker 3:if you want, I've got it oh no, I've got it, knock on wood.
Speaker 1:Hey, what I say on Loughley doesn't balance the person that has the medication the one that's fine.
Speaker 2:And the crazy thing about it is when we did the wish last year, it was smooth, dry.
Speaker 1:We were talking about the only time we felt anything like this on the wish.
Speaker 2:I remember we were in Aarondale tonight, which is all around.
Speaker 5:Remember there was a window and you saw a pungent right there.
Speaker 1:yeah, and it was between Massal and Castellay King, which is like in Miles. So if you look at the bridge report, we were in the ocean, like just Because they're half. There were 80 miles and nine 15 hours to go, four hours for the cruise Right. So every time they would and they turned pretty sharp a couple of times while we were in the dinner and all of a sudden they came.
Speaker 5:They're like oh, they're turning, but that was the only motion we felt.
Speaker 3:So what did they do last night when they went from Gratola to St Thomas, when it was 10 miles apart?
Speaker 5:They were kind of just driving they were racing track.
Speaker 3:It was smooth last night.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was. I was probably trying some of it, yeah.
Speaker 4:Well, I went up on the top deck 13, which is towards the bow, because I wanted to see the water coming up over the bow, but Dan had blocked off. It was a road wave, yeah, the road wave. Right Missed that.
Speaker 1:But, 50 knot winds, I guess is they had everything strapped down. Oh yeah, we were up there in the sport deck. This one, this one, because we did the sports there, the golf simulator, so it was worth talking about A piece. They're a better golf simulator than every golf deck.
Speaker 5:I know, but we were on a ship. We also had. Neither of us have played in a year.
Speaker 4:We did the tube.
Speaker 5:It's Aqua Aqueduct.
Speaker 4:The hardest part was getting out of that raft.
Speaker 2:No doubt I couldn't see anything on the other mouse, I could not get out of there. Oh my god, you got to roll over on your stuff. I was trying to nail me for behind because I was taking so long to get out.
Speaker 1:See, it's still an Aqua mouse. When we did it, we were gathering. Yeah, they made us ride together, so it was even worse Two of us trying to get him out of there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, old-fashioned people trying to get out of there and Dan and. I were the smart ones. We stood down below and watched him go past.
Speaker 5:I just want to go through the thing.
Speaker 3:I'm like that's cool, we got him.
Speaker 5:They wouldn't let us take our phone, even though we had it in a waterproof case. Yeah, what do you mean? And we actually had it in a waterproof case around our neck. That goes don't put cans in the case, dude. That's the whole point of this waterproof thing. I'm like. But oh my god, I'm like.
Speaker 2:What type of food would you like to eat?
Speaker 5:Big shoulder mounted cameras. Yeah, I get that.
Speaker 2:They didn't like the Dough Crow. Yeah, on your core, it's bigger than your head.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I only do that now, first time we went on doorcapes.
Speaker 5:I'm going around my head.
Speaker 1:Yes, I'm not a, and that's funny because you know when you're in the room. You've got that, yes. So, when you're in the room where Terry Crews is, you give him a stand.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:They're specific about Terry recording the vice, because it's not the media.
Speaker 2:And he says they're the same. Yes, they're the same Look.
Speaker 1:So I'm standing there while this video goes on, next to Dave Young. I have a go-to trail on my head with a red light on it. He says it's recording right? Yes, although I was prepared to tell the cast member no, red means stop, it's not my, but I'm standing there with the thing on my head. Nobody said anything. I'm hurt. I walked in and recorded the entire thing. It's absolutely terrible.
Speaker 2:It's way too dark, I can't see the craft it's. It's a little bit like faster than you can imagine which part of my head it's like. Not, I couldn't see it.
Speaker 1:But other than the stuff on the screen, it's occasionally you can't tell what the side is doing.
Speaker 5:Yeah, they have to be pointed that direction to be able to see it, because it turns that way, you can't see it.
Speaker 1:Yes, so but yeah, they're not very serious about that. They are on Tron, yes, however, because Nick King Tarlin tried to take it on and they were told Chest Right, yeah, I can't write. So that's just Scooter's little Tron, which is a federal bomber.
Speaker 2:It's like, you know, an avatars. You know I can't do that anymore Because it's just a little late, so I have to. They have nothing as avatars, but the back of the pond they had that sort of car. Yeah, yeah, you know that stuff is. It's so exciting. Yeah, I've done that Walk in. Like me, it's going to be your purple old van the last time I rode it.
Speaker 1:They put it on and as soon as they last rode it, I was like this is not good With the back. It was not good, so I set it up.
Speaker 3:Can you write everything?
Speaker 1:I probably can. And I mean actually by the time, by the time we took it off, it actually was a great orbit.
Speaker 2:And we were just moving out. So I think the best part of the avatars is standing at the end and watching people come out, and it's I've actually never seen that. Oh, my goodness, I've missed it. Then the tech guy out of it. Oh listen, it's like whoa.
Speaker 1:I talked to people that I've been on it with, but I thought it was a little too. One was called girl.
Speaker 5:Yeah, and the other was Alan.
Speaker 1:No, I got my first three. It was Kurt's phone. Oh yeah, oh three with you guys, he was not doing good at all when we got on that.
Speaker 4:I've got a photograph of a woman barfing in front of a Hollywood studios in the square right now. And it's like it was the grids. I said I gotta get a picture of this. It was the grids Kids here face. She's been down and she's got her friend next to her trying to. You know.
Speaker 5:So where was this one out? Of you remember where?
Speaker 4:Mickey's magical, oh the hat. The hat was in front of that, in that big open area, right Right in the middle of the open area. It's a really great photograph.
Speaker 3:It's like the best plan I've ever taken. You know I got one of those captions from my doctor, so funny. Just in case I haven't used it, I'll give it to Kurt for busy next week and he can go out on the ride and he can move the bag, you can get it like in a. Christmas car or something yeah.
Speaker 5:Give it a little box. Give a little box and hand it to him and go. This is for Mickey Right. If he says here and you need this, he's flying in tomorrow.
Speaker 3:But it's icing up there, really cold Is this on your hand. No, they're flying in tomorrow, thursday, right, is today something?
Speaker 2:good, no, it's cool.
Speaker 5:Today's at 24.
Speaker 1:Right I'll be in the theater tomorrow.
Speaker 3:No Girdis coming in tomorrow. Somebody said tomorrow it may have been Girdis coming in tomorrow and they're all going to meet together. We have to see them. At least that's what Margie is doing. Who?
Speaker 5:Dave coming this weekend, it's supposed to be.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, it's supposed to be. They're staying at Konami, we're going to drive.
Speaker 5:We're going to drive Okay, we're driving, while we're driving back wind.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, we're staying at Saratoga Saturday night.

Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah, okay, both of us, probably both of us. Yeah, next week At Konami Friday Friday we're doing farts on Saturday.
Speaker 3:That's our plan, but the skyliner won't be running.
Speaker 5:Is it not back up yet?
Speaker 3:No, it's not supposed to go back up into the front.
Speaker 5:Okay, so it was really cool when we went last Friday to Hollywood and all we saw because all the skyliner cars were gone, it was just the service vehicle on it. It was really cool seeing that.
Speaker 1:Well, the Hollywood the animal kingdom.
Speaker 3:The pop sentry to Caribbean, to the studios, is supposed to be open and the line from Caribbean to F-Fax is supposed to open on Saturday.
Speaker 4:Is it Caribbean Caribbean?
Speaker 5:It's Caribbean Pirates of the Caribbean and Caribbean Beach. They're the same, I know, but their pronunciation is supposed to be the same Pirates of the Caribbean and the Caribbean Beach are supposed to be pronounced the same, according to Disney.
Speaker 1:Oh cool, they got it the day we all streamed all straight down to Disney the last character said that they are supposed to have the same pronunciation per company policy. It's funny because I have a meme that was like what does not simply pronounce Caribbean and Caribbean in the same way? And this conversation came up the other day because somebody had posted something on Facebook that was like do you pronounce it D-A-T-A or D-A-T-A Data?
Speaker 1:or data Data or data, and the reply was I think that I pronounced it two different ways. When I read the X, it was like is it data or data?
Speaker 2:What's the data on the?
Speaker 5:start check.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:I feel like it depends on what you're writing.
Speaker 4:I looked at data points and I realized that data Listen to this closely, Judy, because you're always correcting me on it. What?
Speaker 2:It's data and data.
Speaker 4:It's Caribbean, caribbean it's like who cares?
Speaker 5:It's like what is it? Data and data, it does matter.
Speaker 1:Do you?
Speaker 4:understand the terminology when you hear it.
Speaker 5:I know I understand either way people pronounce it. I understand what it is, but it still matters.
Speaker 4:Mentally, you look at it as you just said it correctly or yeah, you just said it wrong In your own mind, right? Often she doesn't say it in her own mind, though.
Speaker 1:What.
Speaker 4:Yes.
Speaker 1:Yesterday we were watching the morning show.

What does he do all day long? I never see him around. I assume they're, you know, ready for a trip, I mean on love boat. They were always there.
Speaker 5:They were, I don't know Julie, julie, your crew director, julie Gilbert Isaac.
