Send us a text message! Tell us what you think!
Dive into a hilarious and detailed exploration of Disney magic both on land and sea as Jack shares his recent adventure to Walt Disney World and aboard the Disney Wish cruise. The journey kicks off with Galaxy's Edge comparisons that Star Wars fans won't want to miss—from subtle theming differences to exclusive merchandise like the coveted gray Loth Cat mug that prompted the entire trip.
You'll feel like you're right there experiencing the Disney cruise embarkation process, complete with ceremonial welcomes and the mad dash to secure dining reservations. The rotational dining system emerges as a surprising highlight, with Jack revealing the insider secret that has fellow foodies buzzing: you can order unlimited filet mignon, appetizers, and desserts at no extra cost. "Just tell that bro 'I want three of them,'" Jack explains, detailing how Disney's family-style dining elevates the cruise experience.
Marvel enthusiasts will appreciate the deep dive into the ship's Worlds of Marvel restaurant, where interactive "quantum generators" at each table allow guests to help Ant-Man and the Wasp during dinner, culminating in surprise character appearances. Meanwhile, parents will find valuable insights on the kids club system that had Jack's daughter happily disappearing for most of the voyage, returning only for shows and dinner.
The podcast hits peak hilarity during discussions of Beach Day, revealing the stark personality differences between Jack, who happily napped on the sand, and co-host Lew, whose theoretical sand-phobia becomes a running joke. "You say 'beach' and I'm out," Lew declares, triggering waves of laughter as the hosts imagine scenarios where this knowledge could be weaponized.
Whether you're planning your own Disney vacation or just enjoy entertainment-filled travel stories, this episode delivers authentic perspectives, practical tips, and enough laughs to make you feel like you're sitting at the table with three friends sharing their unfiltered vacation tales. Ready to set sail with us? The gang's already planning their next cruise adventure—and this time, they'll all be together!

Speaker 1:Journey into the imagination but that hasn't been a ride in decades. No, it still. It still is. It still is Okay. Yeah, yeah, he's. He's like a second tier, though he doesn't get as much notoriety as a lot of the other.
Speaker 3:Exactly, I was in. Florida last week. That's how come we missed yeah. I actually ran into the president while I was there he went to.
Speaker 1:Mar-a-Lago golf.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he went to mar-a-lago golf. Yeah, I asked him. I said, bro, you listened to the podcast and he said fuck they're doing.
Speaker 4:They don't know what the fuck they're doing. They don't know what the fuck they're doing.
Speaker 2:They don't know what the fuck they're doing. That was the stuff he's working on fair.
Speaker 1:I mean not he's, for I have to for one time the one time he's not wrong. I he's not wrong.
Speaker 4:For one time, he's not wrong. He's not wrong. I'm sure he's referring to leftists, but yeah, he's definitely not wrong. No, he was talking about us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he was talking about the podcast.
Speaker 4:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:Sorry Lou.
Speaker 4:That's also true though.
Speaker 3:Yeah, when we got off the ship and I saw him, I'm like the president did not just drop an F-bomb on live TV.
Speaker 4:Sure enough, fine with me. I would wish more presidents to drop F-bombs.
Speaker 3:But if Obama did, you'd lose your shit. You'd be like nope, impeach him Worst president ever.
Speaker 4:If it was Obama, I'd expect that he's black or half anyway, he was a well-spoken man.
Speaker 3:He didn't have to use bad words.
Speaker 4:Was he a well-spoken man? Well, he is a great stand-up philosopher. I'll give him that.
Speaker 1:How was your trip, Jack? How was the time off?
Speaker 4:Just transition right back to Just like no, not volunteer.
Speaker 1:Can't you wait until I'm gone on a Sunday again?
Speaker 4:No, it's more fun when you're there, because you're on the other side, so we get to hear your opinion as well.
Speaker 3:He's not allowed to. He lost that right? No, it was cool. We left Friday morning to go to Flo Rida in the Orlando zone. How was the flight?
Speaker 1:It's a long flight, dude.
Speaker 4:Not anymore. It's not Compared to my last flight it wasn't.
Speaker 3:That's fair. That's fair, I guess yeah.
Speaker 1:I guess, basing it on the last flight. Yeah, yeah, yeah but we're not going to talk about the J word, because not anymore, not for that.
Speaker 3:No, just my last flight, no so it got delayed.
Speaker 4:Where was your last flight?
Speaker 3:flight said somewhere the the far east, yes, oh, okay, I mean we flew west for whatever far east is where he just came from um no, I got delayed an hour, so that kind of sucked um, but whatever. Um, when we get to florida, go to get in line for our rental car and um, so we're standing in line long ass line and this lady finally gets her car. She comes out. She's like I've been in line for four hours. I'm like mother, ain't nobody waiting on line for four hours? Goddamn car.
Speaker 1:Dude, at National you just walk up and pick your car and go. I know.
Speaker 4:I said that Jack's like not over here.
Speaker 3:Not at this one. We went to fucking janky-ass budget, I guess. I guess you get what you pay for.
Speaker 1:Budget slash, dollar slash, because they're all the same company. Now.
Speaker 3:For real though.
Speaker 3:So, she's like standing in line and she's like, fuck that I'm signing up for their member program, right, she stands in line for like an hour or signing up for it, getting it all done. She's like, okay, let's go to the parking garage, we just pick our car up. Yeah, they're in line for like another half hour. So I guess the problem was they like took all the cars to go get them detailed and I'm like you're telling me that you want to go wash a bunch of fucking cars when it's about to rain in five minutes and a Friday and a Friday yeah.
Speaker 3:It's Florida in the summer, the shit's going to get rained on. Guess what happens as soon as you put on the fucking parking garage.
Speaker 1:Rain and guess what?
Speaker 3:There's no more.
Speaker 1:Disney Express no more. Disney cut that shit out.
Speaker 4:Wait, wait, wait what does that mean?
Speaker 1:You would have liked that.
Speaker 4:What's it mean and how is it relevant? It was a shuttle that goes right from the airport.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there used to be a shuttle that you could take right from the airport to. If you were staying on property. There was a shuttle that would take you From the airport to Whatever property you were staying at and was free was included with your the price of your uh, your stay, and it was dope as shit because they were the fucking nice ass buses like the, the super tour buses, not like school buses or nothing like big, puffy seats, chargers the whole nine yards.
Speaker 1:So if, if that was still running, jack wouldn't have needed a rental car. But now that don't exist no more and you don't want to spend $250 On a fucking Lyft or Uber Because Disney is not close to the airport at all. It's like a 45 minute drive.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a good 40 something minutes Just jump on the train.
Speaker 1:They don't have a train. That's the other part. They don't have a train.
Speaker 4:Where was that? Where they had the train they're going to the problem is florida.
Speaker 1:The problem is florida says hey, we have trains all over the place, but in the universal and disney are like well, why aren't you putting stops near us? And they're like well, if you pay for them? And both of them are like nah, we're good sense.
Speaker 4:If disney wants it to their property, then they should pay for it but again, it's like a trade-off, right?
Speaker 1:it's like you. You want people to come to florida and you want people to ride the train. That's been money on the train and the only places people come to fucking florida is to go to disneyland or universal. You know it's not like people are going. You've never been to florida, lou so, or at least willingly gone to florida. You've, uh, you've done it for celebration and then you've never been.
Speaker 4:You never been to a Florida celebration and not going to either, If it's in the summer. I told you, I'm not kidding, If it's in the summer I'm not going.
Speaker 3:So unless it's Empire.
Speaker 1:Jack's going to be hunting some. Okay, that's true.
Speaker 3:It'll be 2030, losing Florida in June. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:That is probably the only way it's gonna happen. Other than that, it needs to be before may and after september. Other than that you.
Speaker 1:You want to talk about the opposite of what we just had on our last trip, that's fucking florida. The fucking freeways suck, the roads suck like there's no, the public transportation is fucking ass, and the disney, the disney express, used to make it somewhat tolerable because you knew you would at least get on there and then when you got off you were at your resort. There was no must, no fuss, but then they stopped that four or five years ago, I think.
Speaker 3:Right, jack, something, probably pandemic I think povid probably killed it like net. Let's not bring it back yet. So you got your rental car. And it rained on you, yeah, so we got the rental car, did we go? I think we went straight to, we went to Hollywood Studios. I think we went straight there, I think I don't remember. So we get there.
Speaker 1:Were you staying on property?
Speaker 3:Yeah, we used one of our DVCs. We stayed at.
Speaker 1:Saratoga.
Speaker 3:Yeah, saratoga, yeah, saratoga springs is nice. Yeah, it was really nice. Um, so, yeah. So we went to hollywood studios because I want to get my loaf cat mug, because, uh, it's different out there. It's gray instead of brown. And as soon as that shit came out, when, uh, we got it out here and I saw that I'm like mother, now I gotta go. I had just left florida that year and like the mugs came out like a week or two later. I'm like you, sons of bitches but they're all.
Speaker 1:They're all that way, they've all been that way, right, just slightly. Very variations, um, or is this the first one that's been this?
Speaker 3:is the first one that's like that different. Like ours is brown, theirs is like straight up gray, like it is clearly different. Yeah, the picture you sent us earlier, it is clearly different yeah, yeah, yeah like by a lot so I'm like, well, I guess I gotta go back to florida. So I did right. Yeah, because you weren't planning on going anyway.
Speaker 4:I mean, actually you weren't, were you until it was like hey, lou, do you care if we come by? Nah, come by some other time, okay, bye. Yeah, that shit was booked.
Speaker 3:I didn't even get that sentence out. Um, but no, and it's just cool just seeing, like, uh, you walk into galaxy's edge in, uh, florida, and you're like this is familiar, but it's different. Like the entrances and exits are different. Um, some of the the decorations are a little different. It seems like they have like more like uh, like scrapped, crashed, like metal pieces around, um, but I mean, everything else is exactly the same. Ogre is the same, docks is the same, ronto roasters but there's slight variations, like ronto roasters closes, which is weird, right, right. So if you want a ronto wrap, like for a late dinner, you have to go into docking bay seven for it. You can still get it.
Speaker 1:You just got to go to docking bay seven for it but the, the main ronto wrap area, closes at like nine or something or eight yeah, like the walk-up counter.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it closes like seven or something because the park only stays closes at like 9 or something or 8?. Yeah, like the walk-up counter. Yeah, it closes at like 7 or something because the park only stays open until 9 or 10 at best.
Speaker 1:The fireworks is different. Right, there's no firework experience.
Speaker 3:No, there's no fireworks, there's no projection.
Speaker 1:The fireworks are like out over the lake right, If I remember correctly.
Speaker 3:The problem is that the fireworks at Disneyland you know just the way it's laid out they just happen to go over by two. But at Disney World Galaxy's Edge is not even close to Magic Kingdom where the fireworks are. So, yeah, they don't put on a fireworks show at all for Galaxy's Edge At all. There's no projections like we have. I'm not saying Disneyland's better, but it kind of is.
Speaker 1:As far as Batuu goes, yes, Because Batuu. East opened after Batuu West right. Yes, I think I remember them talking about that and then I think their rise open first, ours open second.
Speaker 3:They like trade it off, but we also in west we get all the characters. Um, they don't get nothing. I think they just barely got mando and grogu walking around. They do have more alcohol, though, so I did try the blue milk with the rum in it.
Speaker 4:I couldn't taste much difference, so whatever I would not recommend it versus just without.
Speaker 3:The only difference is the exactly okay, I could barely even taste the rum. Honestly, maybe I got ripped off but what was cool?
Speaker 3:or you would have gotten ripped up if you would have kept drinking exactly um, so the cool thing is that I've never seen at ours is the stormtroopers actually came into Oga's and like started harassing. They started going around the tables harassing people and shit. So that was kind of cool. But otherwise I mean the menu's kind of mostly the same, but also not. The girls get a drink there. At ours it's some kind of like chocolate milk with tea and something they don't even have it there.
Speaker 2:It is the weirdest thing, yeah, it doesn't make any sense. You'd think the menu would be the exact same. There's no reason not to.
Speaker 4:Unless there's something specific to the region that the locals know about.
Speaker 3:You go someplace your beer maybe right, yeah, yeah, yeah, different kind of beers, it could be different locals know about you know you go your beer maybe right like yeah, yeah different beers. Yeah, it could be different but I don't know.
Speaker 4:You have a named brewery that's like oh, this is brewery is huge in this region.
Speaker 3:But the weird thing is, uh, one of their menus fell into my bag. Craziness, just one menu, dang, I know right. Well, actually this is the old one. One of the new ones that has a loaf cat here fell into my bag too. Too, that's weird.
Speaker 4:Those damn menus, man Right They'd just be falling off tables.
Speaker 1:I mean, then you've got to carry it around for the rest of the day Like, come on, well, the good thing is we weren't even there the whole time.
Speaker 3:So we did Galaxy's Edge first and then we went over to ride the Rock and Roller Coaster, the Aerosmith ride, where, where they close it yeah, they're re-theming it to Muppets, so it'll be Electric Mayhem, since they closed the Muppets area over there.
Speaker 4:Kind of makes sense, right, wait, you knew that was called Electric Mayhem, but you couldn't get that banned.
Speaker 3:Look, I was under pressure. Okay, it was the stress. I was just asking to verify.
Speaker 4:Okay, I was testing you, I was going to say it was so funny, those first few Muppets questions, dude, I didn't even look them up.
Speaker 1:I was like, hey, cool, I didn't have to look these ones up, I'm good, that must have been a block, that I was busy, because I don't remember a conversation about the Muppets at all. No, because we're ahead of a few days.
Speaker 3:So no, it's a cool as hell roller coaster. It's inside, it does like three corkscrews. It's fun as hell. I don't know how that goes with kid-friendly Muppet stuff when they retheme it, but whatever, it's a good ride.
Speaker 4:Something crazy with Gonzo or Animal maybe.
Speaker 3:Right, who knows? Yeah, whatever, we'll be doing some rockin' Muppet songs in there, you'll figure it out. Yeah, doing some rocking muppet songs, you'll figure it out. Yeah, um, and then we just did a little bit of shopping and bounced went to bed because the girls wanted to rope drop epcot in the morning they wanted to rope drop yeah, yeah, okay, cod is our jam okay, okay so it's our favorite out of all the parks there, mostly because of the Guardians of the Galaxy ride.
Speaker 3:But yeah, no, we rope dropped it and we got our extra 15, 30 minutes, or whatever it is, for staying on property. We walked right in, we did Spaceship Earth, we thanked the Phoenicians. So that was cool. It's a ride that goes through human evolution and communication and everything. If you can read thank the Phoenicians Is everything spelled phonetically.
Speaker 4:It's a ride that goes through human evolution and communication, and everything and they're like, if you can read, think the Phoenicians is everything spelled phonetically, yes, phoenicianly, but it's the right that's inside the giant golf ball.
Speaker 3:So we did that. We went to the back of the park where a ratatouille and frozen arm, and then we worked our way forward and we went on guardians, four times so that was cool is epcot, where tron is too.
Speaker 3:No, that's in the magic kingdom um tomorrowland. Tron's cool as hell. I do like that over there. They have good rides at magic kingdom, but if I had to pick a park, it'd be Epcot. Ratatouille is really cool. It's super advanced. It's like a 3D ride 4D actually because you get squirted with a chili pepper or something and smells and scents and heat and then Frozen. It's a good ride. Lu went on it in Japan. It's a little bit different in Epcot, but it's basically the same.
Speaker 1:And then that's also where they have. You have the food and drink of the world in Epcot, so you got that going for it too.
Speaker 4:It's so funny, Duke. I was just about to jump in and say, okay, you get all the rides, but what about the food and drinks that happen the world? You just stop in every pavilion and you drink.
Speaker 3:I'm not doing that shit in June when I got swamp ass. I need to be comfortable to drink.
Speaker 4:Or be in Oga's Totally fair but that wasn't what I was talking about. I was just general. What did you have for lunch? What?
Speaker 3:did you have for dinner? For lunch? Where did we eat lunch that day? It's called over where Soarin' is there's a restaurant Garden Something. Anyways, most of the restaurants at Disney World are family-style. Buffet, like family-style eating. Isn't it Garden Cafe, something like that, yeah. And they're all character dining, right. So you sit in this booth. The whole restaurant is rotating around through this. You're above this ride called a living on the land, living with the land.
Speaker 1:It's a fun ride too With the land. Yeah yeah, but it's old, it's old as fuck Some nature. It's cool as hell.
Speaker 3:It's cool as hell, though, Watch, We'll take you on it and you'll be like oh, it's kind of like a jungle cruise. Right, it's a water ride right, yeah, but you're just going real slow and you're just like and they're like this is all the old Jurassic world or Jurassic park, right at universal, where it's like all like everything.
Speaker 1:everything is like detailed, Like you're going into a room and the room is actually there's stuff going on in the room. It's not just like pictures or static animatronic type things. Yeah.
Speaker 3:So that's one of our favorite places to eat there. But I mean, he brings you this big ass skillet. It has roast beef on it and turkey garlic, green beans, mashed potatoes, all kinds of stuff, right. So then he comes back and is like OK, well, what did you like? You know like, bring me more meat and more mashed potatoes. And he comes back with another skillet with just that. You eat that. What the fuck else you want? I want more mashed potatoes. And he comes back with another skillet with just that. You eat that. What the fuck else you want? I want more of this. I want more of this. Cool, you eat that. He comes back. What more do you want? And that's how 90% of the restaurants are at that. The whole Walt Disney World, they're all like that.
Speaker 3:So, you go to Hollywood Studios. They have a Toy Story one. It's all barbecue.
Speaker 4:You can get tore the fuck up on some barbecue. So all you people that get the meat sweats I don't get meat sweats, that's okay.
Speaker 3:You don't need to get the meat sweats, because it's fucking Florida and all you do is sweat.
Speaker 1:You already have the meat sweats. You walk in with the meat sweats.
Speaker 3:You haven't even eaten anything.
Speaker 1:You got the meat sweats to go with your swamp asses, yeah.
Speaker 4:Are all these reservation only, or how does that work, nah?
Speaker 3:bro, we walked right up. No, yeah, oh shit, dude. Florida is just so crazy, I think because they're so big and like more touristy rather than Disneyland is more locals. Right, but this is so touristy it's easier to get a hotel, it's easier to get reservations. I even got a reservation for Ogas.
Speaker 4:Although they had 7,000 freaking time slots Right.
Speaker 1:Our.
Speaker 4:Ogas would never have that many reservations.
Speaker 1:I always felt that one of them was because Disney World was so spread out. You're only really dealing with like one-fifth of the people.
Speaker 3:Exactly, yeah, where at.
Speaker 1:Disneyland, you got everybody. The only people you're competing with at Epcot are people at Epcot.
Speaker 4:Right, everybody has park hoppers, so yeah, I was going to say with Disney. You really got everybody going to either DCA or Disneyland.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but I mean otherwise for food. There we went Last year was a German buffet restaurant. It was more of a traditional buffet where you get up and go get your food, but they had sausages and sauerkraut and other tons of shit and the whole time there's these dudes up on stage doing German music and stuff.
Speaker 3:And we were doing the man show ziggy-zaggy, ziggy-zaggy, hoi, hoi, hoi, hoi hoi. Yeah, nice. So that one was a lot of fun too. Then there's another one over by Frozen. It's a princess buffet. That one, I think, is also more of a traditional buffet. We haven't done that one for a while, though, but yeah, that's usually what we eat. But like they don't, they're not big on churros and shit out there. But yeah, that's usually what we eat. They're not big on churros and shit out there, like Disneyland is.
Speaker 1:There's not a lot of carts.
Speaker 4:I remember there not being a ton of carts.
Speaker 1:There's carts in general. Wow, yeah, in general.
Speaker 4:Well, there's less Mexicans in Florida, so I'm guessing there's churros, there's less in LA now too Well one could hope.
Speaker 3:That's all Twitter is. La's streets are empty. This is what I voted for.
Speaker 4:Honestly. I hope that applies to Washington too. Canadians, Mexicans, russians, all y'all If you're not here legally, get gone.
Speaker 3:Bye Superman.
Speaker 1:There goes half of our viewing super superman got a work visa. He's fine he's got some all right so that was, so that was day two, yeah so yeah, day, day one and a half yeah.
Speaker 3:So I wanted to um, get the epcot popcorn bucket because the it looks like the the mickey balloon that they usually have, but it's textured like the Epcot popcorn bucket. Because it looks like the Mickey balloon that they usually have but it's textured like the Epcot ball and it lights up and shit, cool as hell. Yeah, look cool. But because I'm a professional, I wasn't going to walk around with that shit all day. I was going to wait till the end of the day. No locker, I don't know if they have lockers. I never even looked. I think they have lockers, but yeah, I'm sure they do. So it rained and I'm like, okay, that's cool. And it's getting towards the end of the day and I'm like, okay, cool, let's go get it. No, they closed all their popcorn stands and they never opened up again. It was some straight bullshit, straight bullshit.
Speaker 4:Is it a regular one or is it a special? Edition.
Speaker 3:I don't know how limited it is. Yeah, I don't know how limited it is. Yeah, I don't know how limited it is, or anything. So I don't know, we'll see. It's not like that other Disneyland we went to In the west that had a whole store of them.
Speaker 4:Where you could just walk up to a store and pick the one you wanted At your leisure. And have it for a bid. Yeah. You know what I don't remember?
Speaker 3:I think they gave her popcorn. I can't remember it. Did they give her?
Speaker 4:popcorn. I can't remember if there was popcorn.
Speaker 3:It was like some kind of Fruity Pebbles popcorn or something.
Speaker 4:Yeah, because nobody cared. They just wanted the damn bucket.
Speaker 1:I don't want grease all over my bucket, you're right.
Speaker 4:Little One had some of that yeah exactly, okay, okay.
Speaker 3:So then we went to bed.
Speaker 1:We got up the next morning, so now, we went to bed, we got up the next morning, so now we're on Sunday, monday, monday, monday. No because you flew out Friday, you did Epcot on Saturday. So now we're getting to.
Speaker 4:Sunday yeah, you only gave us a day and a half so far. You gave us landing with the car situation. And now?
Speaker 3:day two Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Did we so? What's Sunday then? What was Sunday? I did we so? What sunday then? What was sunday? I could have swore a cruise didn't leave until monday let me see, probably not.
Speaker 4:I'm guessing the cruise didn't leave till monday, because most of them are monday I agree, you better go, look, go back, look your text, see what you said, right?
Speaker 3:oh no, everything goes forward a day. We left saturday morning, oh okay, sunday, all day there okay, I forgot what days off I have? Okay, no, so then, uh, monday we got up, drove out to cape canaveral. Oh, almost stopped at nasa. I was gonna say spaceships yeah, that was so much fun. I want to go back there um canaveral yeah, yeah, we spent a whole day there.
Speaker 3:I just don't think we saw everything so cool. Got on the ship, what time. Our port arrival time was like 1245 or something. Okay, because when you sign up for the cruise they tell you when you can, so everybody just crowd and jump on the plane.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you have a time frame.
Speaker 3:The concierge gets on first and then, like Pearl, members, the people that have sailed with them, a bunch. I think it's like 50 cruises or some shit.
Speaker 4:Damn Rich bastards. Where's the car at this point?
Speaker 3:We just parked it for the week, a couple days, because if you know my wife, she's a control freak. She has to rent a car she has to be in control of. Yeah transportation.
Speaker 4:So you either sent it back, uh, and we're gonna wing it. The last day I was like no, that's not her, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 1:You paid, you paid for a whole week for the car to just sit there yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 4:Well, four days, four days, four days of just sitting there, yeah yeah, uh, what type of room did you guys have? Oh, you know what I meant. I meant to ask that last year. I'm glad you brought it up.
Speaker 3:Um. So we were at Saratoga. We had on the boat it was a one-bedroom. Oh, on the boat, on the ship. Yeah, on the boat Just a regular standard veranda.
Speaker 1:So you had a little patio and stuff too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:And we were forward almost to where the ship starts curving, so we actually had a larger veranda than we've ever had before. So that was kind of cool. A little porch, a little patio.
Speaker 4:Okay, so you have a balcony then.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but it's a veranda.
Speaker 4:I don't know if I want a balcony yet, but my first time I want the one where the window is on the level of the water. That's where the window is like on the level of the water. I want that's where the crew stays low. Oh, the videos I'm showing.
Speaker 1:There are some where you can have rooms, where you're good if you're down below, if you're below the the water line not the water line I want to be at the water lines.
Speaker 4:The videos that I saw were the lady that I all the videos that I watch of hers. She did one where she usually has a balcony but she did one where the where's the like, the level of the yeah, you just have a portal that's like oh, that looks cool. I want to try that man part-time job in the summer, just so I can get if you're, uh, I would.
Speaker 1:My only, my only thing about that would be, if you're not sure how you're going to handle being on a cruise, having the ability to open the door and get fresh air if you need it is a good thing. So if you're stuck below with the portal that doesn't open and you like, get it opens once little, yeah, yeah, you get a little sea, uh, get a little sea sickness. Uh, you, you, you so lou. I don't know how you are on boats, but he doesn't know either.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I would suggest getting a veranda or getting, I don't think being trapped in a room, especially because there are people that I've been with. There are people that I've been with that they start getting seasick and it's like nope, you need to be going outside right now it's like you ain't, you ain't seen my apartment I have.
Speaker 4:I have two windows in my apartment and both of them have blackout curtains on, so I don't want the sun to come through and one door oh, I may just get an interior cabin then, with no windows, and I'd be like I feel like I'm at home they'll give you a virtual porthole why would I want that?
Speaker 3:so you can pretend to see the ocean can I put a blackout curtain on it?
Speaker 1:probably turn it off. That'd be funny if he couldn't but the veranda does have blackout curtains, though.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I mean, it's just yeah. I'm just again, again, I don't know. So it could be fine, it could be horrible. That's why I want to do that Alaska three-day cruise to find out.
Speaker 3:But no, it's just like a I don't know. I guess it's a standard room. It's like a queen bed. Then there's a curtain, there's a couch. The room attendant comes in, she folds the couch out, pulls a bunk bed from the ceiling yeah, yeah, because you can have like five people in there, right? I hope it has something like that.
Speaker 1:Two people in the queen bed, two people in the pullout and then a bunk bed for the yeah, that's person.
Speaker 3:Yeah, man, that's got to get hot nah, as soon as we come in there, we turn the air conditioner all the way down to zero, or whatever the fuck.
Speaker 4:It is nice because it's also florida do you do, like the wall magnets and shit to hang it up the hooks.
Speaker 3:So yes, yes, yes, there's magnets like super strong you can get. You put them on the ceiling, you can hang.
Speaker 1:Your lounge flies from it and shit it actually you get the shoe for all the bathroom stuff. I've been watching these videos for the last two years.
Speaker 3:I was like ooh, I wonder if they get this stuff too, but at least with Disney they provide the shampoo, conditioner and body wash you just need to bring your poofy with you. That's easy. Your poofy and your toothbrush. You know what, bro?
Speaker 4:What body wash? You just need to bring your poofy with you. That's easy, your poofy and your toothbrush. You know what, bro? What I want more of is at the last Disney hotel that I stayed at I can't remember where it was, but that one they had these sponge bath wash.
Speaker 3:Those things are badass.
Speaker 4:I want a case of those, bro. I still have four.
Speaker 3:That's like a magic eraser.
Speaker 4:It was. I still have four. That's like a magic eraser it was. I got four. I'm like rashing these things out. I'm like I can't. I got to save it for a rainy day.
Speaker 1:You say magic eraser and the only thing in my head is Lou is in the shower like nope, nope.
Speaker 4:Then he's like calling Jack hey, shit ain't working. Hey, is yours working, is yours? I think my bag was faulty, but yeah.
Speaker 1:And you still took four of them.
Speaker 4:I did. That thing was comfy. I was like, oh it feels so good, it was soft. Oh man, I gotta figure out where I can buy those Amazon I'm sure, timu.
Speaker 3:So first night Disney ships you go on them, they ask you your name. They're like Disney. Wish welcomes the Tesh family and everybody cheers and. Rapunzel's up on the balcony waving at everybody. They got like three stations doing it. They're alternating, it goes by quick 3,000 people goes by quick.
Speaker 1:Louis Moses on his first cruise, welcome. And then all the crew are waving and cheering and everything, but they do it by family.
Speaker 3:These motherfuckers are getting on. There was one Indian family and then all the crew are like waving and cheering and everything, but they do it by family, okay. So, like these motherfuckers are getting on, there was one like an indian family did. There were like 50 of them and they all took pictures on the stairs. I'm like, bro, you guys are blocking a whole staircase. Cinderella's gonna get mad at you somebody, somebody can't.
Speaker 4:Hey, y'all need to get going. It's a staircase, come on.
Speaker 3:She's right next to the statue on the.
Speaker 1:Rapunzel's whipping her hair like let's go, let's go, move it along.
Speaker 4:You associate Cinderella with the staircase. Come on, man.
Speaker 3:All the Disney ships have a statue in the main hallway. This one actually has Cinderella in it. She's standing right next to the staircase.
Speaker 1:I was just saying because Jack said Rapunzel was the one that was greeting everybody.
Speaker 3:She was up on this balcony. I think her and Flynn were up there.
Speaker 1:She could whip her hair and be like let's move it Move it along, let's go.
Speaker 3:Your luggage doesn't show up until 1, 30, 2-ish that you're even allowed to go to your room, but you can drop off your carry-ons.
Speaker 4:I know that.
Speaker 1:Yes, they make you drop all your stuff off. Yeah, yeah, you can't take your stuff around.
Speaker 3:You can only bring your carry-on.
Speaker 1:You tag everything.
Speaker 4:No, you can take your carry-on and you're allowed to take it to your room, but I'm saying the're not, you're not required to take it to your room, right?
Speaker 1:you can't, I ain't, I ain't about that, I'm watching that videos.
Speaker 4:I know youtube ain't been wrong on me.
Speaker 1:We're on youtube. I know youtube is right. This is true. Yeah, right, with zero views.
Speaker 3:Yes, it is exactly right the algorithm works also true um, oh yeah, we tried to to find lunch because the only time you can get uh, it's a like a southern sandwich called a muffaletta sandwich, which is the only time you can get it, is on embarkation day. And so we went to the restaurant. It's like nah, son, it's full. You got to go to the buffet. I'm like mother, I don't want to go to the goddamn buffet, I want this muffaletta sandwich. So wife said we're never getting uh that late of a uh quarter arrival time again, so that we can get our sandwiches. That sandwich looks weird you only got.
Speaker 1:You only got 48 more cruises to go on before. You are a pearl member, though, so she will pay for concierge.
Speaker 4:I was gonna say I was like come on, she will pay for concierge. I was going to say I was like, come on now.
Speaker 3:Because we did concierge on the last cruise. That shit was legit. You had your own lounge, free drinks, everything.
Speaker 4:The drink package was included with concierge.
Speaker 3:That's the only way you get a drink package on the Disney ship.
Speaker 1:But you're also paying. It's not like $15.
Speaker 4:How much are? You talking?
Speaker 3:I don't know. I have a travel agent.
Speaker 4:Yeah, your wife yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't ask for how much this shit costs. Alright, hang on, I just show up and eat.
Speaker 4:I gotta figure out what my budget needs to be For this winter or spring cruise.
Speaker 3:I'm just saying it'll probably be spring break. They're already planning this shit.
Speaker 4:I actually don't have a 2026.
Speaker 1:The cost of concierge service On a Disney cruise varies depending on the type Of stateroom or suite. For example, a typical 7 night cruise Will cost around $2500 per person For a the type of stateroom or suite. For example, a typical seven-night cruise will cost around $2,500 per person for a deluxe random stateroom and $5,000 per person for a similar room with concierge.
Speaker 4:So an extra $2,500 is for that. That seems a lot.
Speaker 3:So you get that. But then they also seat you first for all the shows. You get a special entrance and they escort you to all the Broadway shows. You get free popcorn with it. Again, you can go to the concierge lounge 24-7. They got drinks alcohol, soda water, snacks you can get your $2,500.
Speaker 4:I was going to say that's an extra $2,500. I mean, does it come with a crew member blowing you at least?
Speaker 3:No, they're not that cute, at least not the ones that we had for concierge yeah. Look, I'll close my eyes, It'll be fine, you can borrow my VR headset.
Speaker 4:See, there you go. Oh my God, what's Darth Vader doing here? Ah no, Ah shit. Never mind, it's Lou he's like, yeah, force, choke that oh yeah, force choke it.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, um make me breathe heavy so you know, they make you swallow your ambitions you got to do your muster drill and all that shit you got to get your muster station so you know where to go yeah, where you're supposed to meet, so they can throw you off the boat. Sorry, throw you off the ship into the lifeboat, and they make sure to mention, in the unlikely event, that we have to abandon ship.
Speaker 4:Like an unlikely event of a water landing flying over the desert.
Speaker 3:It's unlikely. So we did that. And then they do the sail away party. Everybody goes up on deck, big old party Waving to all the poors. Can't afford a Disney cruise.
Speaker 4:Or the concierge.
Speaker 3:Or the concierge people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the concierge people are above you, waving at you While you're waving at the other poors, yeah, while they're waving.
Speaker 3:At the higher level, poors. It's a cascading level of pores five grand per person.
Speaker 1:Yep, yep and your whole and I think your whole room has to do it. You can't just do it on your own because there's so much more stuff you get as part of your room that they wouldn't be able to like do it for like I will say if me and you travel together it. We both have to get it or neither of us would get it. It's not a case of like one person can get it I will tell you.
Speaker 3:The only reason that we did do that on the last one was because we had the credits from the one that got canceled because the ship wasn't ready oh, yeah, we had credits and all this shit, so don't think we're right.
Speaker 4:But now don't apologize, don't, don't have this way. Hell no, if you're able to roll that way, we'll fucking roll that way. Yeah, it's like you're like look, you're allowed to wave at me while I'm down below y'all, while I'm waving at the people on the down below me, so it's okay. I mean, people below me will be the crew, that's okay, I'll wave at them anyway.
Speaker 1:Yeah all you hear is jack going lou Lou. Is that your bald spot? Lou, you got a bald spot.
Speaker 4:I didn't know you had a bald spot. Yeah, you see it.
Speaker 1:Make sure you put some sunscreen on that bitch.
Speaker 3:It's a solar charger for a sex machine.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Put that poor ass sunscreen on your poor ass head.
Speaker 3:Shit, I don't even know what we did after that the first night. So you do rotational dining have to, you don't have to, you don't have to. But you can't just choose what restaurant you want to eat in. But back it up a little bit. We usually do the second dinner, which is like 8, 8, 15 ish, um. So we go to the first show, the first broadway show they put on. It's like it's six or something, um, so that one was. It's only on the wish. It's goofy, as, being the captain of the ship, mini had to go do something. Tinkerbell does some magic, he goes through all these other dance numbers and all these other Disney characters come out and everybody sings. It's a good time. So we did that and then we went to dinner. Our first dinner was Arendelle, so the theme of that one is Anna and Kristoff's engagement yes, frozen.
Speaker 1:So it's all Frozen themed yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a Frozen restaurant you go to as you're walking through the hall. All the paintings are there, the statue's there, the clock is there, joan of Arc.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, she's there.
Speaker 4:So you could have ditched that and went to the buffet, though, right, you could have.
Speaker 3:Yeah, ditch, that went to the buffet though. Right, you could have. Yeah, yeah, you could. Okay, okay just. But you don't want to, because even though it's a sit-down restaurant, you can still order as much as you want. They got filet mignon in there. You tell that bro say hey, son, I want three of them. Bitches, cool, here you go. I want one of everything done. You can still get as much as you want at these prices and it's obviously going to be better quality than just going to the buffet and and you get the show.
Speaker 1:What do?
Speaker 3:you mean what?
Speaker 4:do you mean at these prices?
Speaker 1:it's not included with the like these places, places, oh well, yeah sometimes they have stuff special for that, that thing there's like a theme yeah, because this was like, uh, norwegian kind of themed food.
Speaker 3:So okay, there were like swedish meatballs and noodles and shit and give me that ikea.
Speaker 1:Give me that ikea ikea on a boat.
Speaker 3:Ikea on a boat but then, like um olaf comes by and christoph and anna and elsa, they all come by. You can take pictures with them and shit, it was pretty good. Oaken traded in his trading post and now he's a party planner, so he comes out.
Speaker 4:Is this the? One where you said he was singing, let it Go.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he was singing, let it Go. It was hilarious, but then Elsa comes out and corrects him, so it was worth it. And then after that you just kind of hang out and party. We went to the hyperspace lounge. I got this Mustafarian drink.
Speaker 4:Is that the one that's over 21 after certain hours?
Speaker 3:Yeah. But it wasn't at the time, so we brought our oldest little one straight dishes for the kids club, that's last year, but that's what you want, right?
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, little One straight ditched us for the kids club. That's from last year, but that's what you want, right? Yeah, I mean, we know where she's at. Yeah, we'll see you in a few days, she's having fun.
Speaker 3:No, seriously, we didn't see her. We saw her for the shows and for dinner. That was it.
Speaker 4:Wait so how do they handle? Don't Steal my Kid. How do you know you?
Speaker 3:have to check them out yourself, and they all have magic bands.
Speaker 4:Oh, check them in, check them out type thing, and they have magic bands. Okay.
Speaker 3:And then secret words and all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1:They have three or four different types of environments for the kids, right yeah. From like 18 on down, they have different. Yeah, there's different levels of clubs. So if you and the wife want to go to the hyperspace lounge, you can just be like boom over there, Go to that one, because there's one that's set up for 16 to 18 and one that's set up for 12 to 14.
Speaker 4:That was my next question. She's aged out of this one, but she can still go to a different one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so there'll be another one that's more grown up or has more.
Speaker 4:Unless you go again before her birthday.
Speaker 3:Which is possible. Who knows?
Speaker 4:These women are crazy.
Speaker 3:These women are crazy, but I just go with them.
Speaker 1:So we went to the hyperspace lounge, but you didn't get the $3,000.
Speaker 3:Richie, rich, no it was there, though it was the Kyber Crystal. It comes with a tour of Skywalker Ranch.
Speaker 4:Lucasfilm. They dropped the price down to three.
Speaker 3:Something like that. It used to be five or seven or something, I don't remember if I screenshotted it because you can't access the menu once you're not there anymore. No, I don't have it, but it's cool. They have these guns that make smoke bubbles. That was kind of cool. The girls ordered these things called Cloud Cities or something and they came by. It's like this gun it makes a smoke bubble and then it can fly around. You pop it and then smoke comes out. It was kind of cool.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that sounds kind of cool.
Speaker 1:Lou, you're right, it's still $ cool. Yeah, that sounds kind of cool. You're right, it's still five grand. It comes with a Cam2 device. It opens up. I think you get the Cam2 device right. Yeah, you get to keep it. Yeah. You just go to Disneyland and buy it and then you get a trip to Skywalker Ranch. It has a drink and stuff like that in it Like a special.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, some expensive ass, scotch or whiskey or something probably scotch, if it's expensive but you do that, so you get the trip to skywalker ranch right yeah, um, and then I think your mustafarian drink was good yeah it was like uh, rum, chata and something, something, whatever I could have drank some cinnamon flavored for the spice, okay, all right, cool, cool and it's cool because in the back they have um different uh, like spaceship scenes, like you go to hyperspace every few minutes and um, you go to different planets.
Speaker 3:So that's kind of cool. And I think we saw mustafar coruscuscant, batuu, endor Sutton, but it was cool as heck. I could sit in there for hours if there were cool people with me. I think he means us.
Speaker 4:I think so too.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And then I think Star Wars Trivia was that night.
Speaker 1:Real quick. If the three of us are hanging out at the lounge all day and all night, how long before we finally just break and say, okay, fine, let's just get the drink?
Speaker 4:Zero chance.
Speaker 3:Fine, you're not going to Skywalker Ranch, then, louie, you know why Lou has that bald spot on the back of his head, it's for his yarmulke ranch. Then you know, when lou has that bald spot on the back of his head, it's for his uh yarmulke because he all of a sudden he'd become cheap as fuck.
Speaker 4:If you're gonna tell me five thousand dollars, get the three tickets. We can talk.
Speaker 3:My understanding is five thousand dollars gets you one yep, I think it's true I think it's true, so anyways, so right outside they have, uh, it's called the bayou. It's like a little lounge, like piano bar lounge kind of area moses is a jewish name, just say it's a the jewish name, yeah the all right.
Speaker 1:So the star wars trivia yeah.
Speaker 3:So I'm walking around, I'm like I need a seat right like a seat at a table. Everybody like, no, no, we got people, we got. I'm like I need a seat right Like a seat at a table. Everybody's like, no, no, we got people, we got people. I'm like, well, fuck you guys, then I'm going to win this shit and piss you off. So I just go over to the corner standing and then this dude's like no, you can come sit with us. I'm like okay, cool.
Speaker 4:You guys will team up.
Speaker 3:Were.
Speaker 1:Ah, you were undercover. People didn't even know.
Speaker 3:No, they didn't know what they were about to get into.
Speaker 4:They did not.
Speaker 1:No, you're like, just give me the fucking badges now.
Speaker 4:This is number one of three.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so we teamed up. But did you need to team up? It helped because, yeah, mr Fucking, I Don't.
Speaker 4:Know what An Ad Ad Is Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3:Really Not armored.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 4:I can't help my tongue when he told me that Because, again, I'm a lot of tech with him Because we have iMessaging, so he was texting me. I saw that and I was like Delete, delete, delete.
Speaker 1:I'm like, no, I'm going to let it go, you're not going to ruin your boy's cruise.
Speaker 4:It's like he got me two love cats. I'm going to leave him alone yeah.
Speaker 3:So it ended in like a three-way tie or something. So the tiebreaker was how long in minutes would it take to watch the original trilogy?
Speaker 4:Duke, when he gave me that question I was like I know how long Empire is, I know how long Jedi is within a minute. But I wasn't sure original. So I was like okay, it's got to be. I'm thinking to myself like three, I think I had Go ahead. What was your guess?
Speaker 1:I was going to say like 335.
Speaker 4:Okay, I had 3, had go ahead. What was your guess? I was going to say like 335. Okay, I had 375, 374, I think, no 375, because they're all at least 120 minutes right. So you've got to start at least yeah, so you've got to start at least 360, so 333, and it was like I know Empire's 204, I know Jedi's 210 or 211, and New Hope, I think, is 201 to 205.
Speaker 1:I was going to say New Hope was shorter In my head, that was my mentality. Was that New Hope was going to drop that lower because the other two were longer? That was in my head.
Speaker 4:No, that makes sense. Like I said, I knew that one was shorter. I know Empire's 204. And I know Jedi's 210 or 211. Sense, like I said, I knew, I knew that one shorter. I know I know empire is 204 and I know jedi is 210 or 211 so we went with uh like 395.
Speaker 3:The other guy guessed uh 315 and it was 370. I thought it was. Price is right rules. I'm like shit we lost we went over yeah, you weren't over, but you're still the closest, so what was?
Speaker 4:he said there were three-way tie right. What did the other person?
Speaker 3:get. I thought it was, but maybe it was just the two-way.
Speaker 4:Maybe just two Okay.
Speaker 1:So got your first quiz match on the cruise.
Speaker 4:No, Three-way tie was the next one right.
Speaker 1:Because you all won, because you all won.
Speaker 4:Yeah Wait, wasn't there another quiz before this or just after it? That you did too. Let's see, yeah, there was one.
Speaker 3:Let me see Blah, blah, blah, jesus Christ.
Speaker 1:Fucking embarrassing it really is. We can't even call ourselves a Star Wars podcast. Oh, we don't call ourselves a Star Wars podcast.
Speaker 3:We don't.
Speaker 1:We don't.
Speaker 3:But now we definitely can't.
Speaker 2:We don't want to pick another trivia and I lost by five.
Speaker 3:I don't remember which one it was, though. Okay, all right, um general, general Disney stuff. Yeah, we did a bunch of those.
Speaker 4:Then, and then oldest didn't know that was the next day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that's the you're. You're in the evening now, right.
Speaker 4:Yes, there was a haunted mansion one. That was nice.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, um, so I think we went to bed. Um, we got up, um, and again it was oh no, I got up early because they were doing lightsaber pictures at the hyperspace lounge. Yeah, wife paid for the picture package, so I'm gonna get our money's worth out of it so that pays for every picture that you take.
Speaker 3:Right? They scan your magic band or they ask your room number and it pays for every picture that you take. Right? They scan your MagicBand or they ask your room number and it pays for every picture. You can download it after the show.
Speaker 4:Do you have to pay that four times?
Speaker 3:No, it's just per room. But yeah, they'll come by at dinner and take pictures of you and everything.
Speaker 1:You sent that one picture over with your goofy ass yeah.
Speaker 3:Sorry, I was a pirate. Thank you, was that a digital pirate hat, or did you get to keep it? No, it was a little one's mini for the night Pirate night.
Speaker 1:And she wasn't even there. She wasn't even there, she dipped, she wasn't in the picture, she was when I only saw the oldest in you two.
Speaker 3:No, that was a little one bro.
Speaker 4:Where Now?
Speaker 3:I gotta look. Yeah, I'm looking it up too, I'm pretty sure, because the oldest didn't take pictures. No, the oldest, oh no, no, no, you're right.
Speaker 1:It's just the three of you I asked about that shirt. I asked about the shirt. Sorry, wrong kid.
Speaker 3:So oldest and I.
Speaker 1:It's only been like eight years. Leave me alone.
Speaker 4:You got me zooming in now that's a menu.
Speaker 3:Yeah, on the inside.
Speaker 4:That's super cool.
Speaker 3:Yeah, on the inside it's a menu. It folds open and like top of the pirate hat, bottom of the pirate hat, but there's a slit in the middle.
Speaker 4:So you can put it on the head. It's like this guy can't even recognize. But it's like, did you see him at the? Where was that last place? We're at where you saw them.
Speaker 1:I don't even know wait either, I'm not talking about it yeah, I'm talking about nothing, all right all right, so but you're jumping ahead you had the day, so you got up to get your lightsaber picture that you didn't send us. Got up to get lightsaber pictures.
Speaker 3:I can't send pictures off of the ship, but I guess I could send some. I didn't download them yet.
Speaker 4:Until recently Were they on the. Oh, he doesn't have his.
Speaker 3:So yeah, so we went and they provided lightsabers. Well, that's what I kind of assumed that yeah, that'd be weird to like.
Speaker 1:I mean, you must be super dedicated if you're bringing yeah. I made a Savi's lightsaber, I'm going to bring him on the cruise. I mean, I guess that's possible, though it is possible.
Speaker 3:So they just had Ahsoka's lightsabers, which was kind of cool, and now I might actually buy them, because you can change them between the blue and the green I was like I didn't know they did that and white, Because didn't she have three colors?
Speaker 1:I saw something pop up.
Speaker 4:No, not these hilts. That first one with the two of you, that's a great-ass pick.
Speaker 3:But yeah, no, these are her Clone Wars hilts. So it's blue after Anakin gets a hold of them, green before. So that was cool as heck. I was glad she did that with me, actually, because you know how she is.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It never happens, and then you have a great-looking pic of it happening. When it does happen, it's like, wow, that looks fantastic.
Speaker 3:You do love me, you do have fun with me. You still love your daddy so happy.
Speaker 1:My text message Yep, my dad's phone's dead.
Speaker 4:Yep, that was so good that's Phones Dead, yep that was so good Both of those pictures of you two, holy shit.
Speaker 3:Right, that was fun. And then second oh, so it was a sea day, so we were on the ship all day.
Speaker 4:Yeah, haunted Mansion quiz.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so it was Haunted Mansion trivia. We almost won that, except she put false when it should have been true, asking if the names on the tombstones in front of Haunted Mansion were Imagineers. They are, in case anybody asked.
Speaker 4:Now you know.
Speaker 3:And then you went to Muppets right and then I don't know if that was that day or. Or the day after yeah. It all blends together after so long Mm-hmm. And what was the show that day? The show that day was not Aladdin, so there's the other one, dang A Little Mermaid, and they even use a black girl to play Ariel.
Speaker 4:I would have walked out.
Speaker 1:Lou Sid, you're trying to flip the table over, but it's like attached to the floor. He's like motherfucker.
Speaker 4:I'm like, okay, let's see how this plays out.
Speaker 3:And then Ariel would have walked out. Her dad was black too, so it works out. He wasn't Mexican like in the actual movie.
Speaker 1:She walks out All of a sudden. You just hear boo Boo. The only time somebody's ever gotten fucking booed on a Disney cruise, and it's fucking Lou, the one black guy on the ship. No.
Speaker 3:But now you know, lou, when that show comes on you gotta go find something else to do but she wasn't black last time we were on the ship, so it must depend on the cast that they have right, roll the dice, man roll the dice.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I would've made a scene. I would've just sat in the back, just in case, and on the aisle so I can just it's like what, what happened? Oh, my stomach hurt, is everything okay. He's like, yeah, this just made me sick, is all.
Speaker 1:Sir, do we have to turn this cruiser on? No, it's fine. No, it's fine.
Speaker 4:No, y'all go ahead. Why don't y'all send the white aerial to my room?
Speaker 1:Black aerial shows up. No. Man.
Speaker 4:I can't remember I would have forgotten to get on the boat at the next stop.
Speaker 3:I can't remember if Ariel was doing pictures around the ship and which Ariel it was. That'd be interesting, because I think that they use different people. I think the people that are doing the characters outside and then the Broadway crew is like their own crew. So I'm not sure.
Speaker 1:That's my understanding. There's interaction ones and I think there's interaction ones Cause they, they, they could get a lot more of those different people who are because you're not asking. Ariel Well you're not asking Ariel, who's standing, you know, out on the deck to take pictures, to sing songs and shit, where the one that you actually have in the show is probably a different. Yeah, yeah, I can see that.
Speaker 3:And then dinner that night was a restaurant called 1923. So it's based on like Disney's beginnings and everything. So the restaurant it's fancier. A lot of people dress up for it because they're weird, everybody and this is still included in the price, dang um. So it's like a fancy old style, like steakhouse kind of place, um, but throughout is like um, old, like drawings and sketches of like moana and pinocchio and princess and the Frog and all this shit. It's really cool from an art standpoint.
Speaker 1:So your oldest dug it then? Yeah, that was my first thought too.
Speaker 4:I was like. I know somebody who would have liked that. How did they do Princess and the Frog in 1923?
Speaker 3:It's just the beginning of Disney. They still had Moana, but they also had Cinderella. Cinderella and sleeping beauty.
Speaker 4:It's kind of like the history Exactly Moving forward.
Speaker 3:Much to the oldest one's displeasure. No Aristocats but, we were sat in the Pinocchio area so we had like all those Pinocchio art and stuff around us, so it was kind of cool.
Speaker 4:Tell a lie, tell the truth, tell around us. It was kind of cool Tell a lie, tell the truth.
Speaker 3:But again, the food's great. You can have steak every night or seafood, salad, soups, appetizers, all kinds of shit.
Speaker 4:If you're on a boat. If I can't get seafood, I'm going to be mad, Right.
Speaker 3:Go out there and catch it.
Speaker 4:Right For real. Pick up the net.
Speaker 1:How about you go out and catch it?
Speaker 3:you poor Lou's just going to go open up his porthole that's below seawater. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm going to see something going by.
Speaker 4:I'm going to see something going by and he's like open the door real quick.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I'd like to see you open that door and then close it back up. Lou, good luck with that, it's not hard.
Speaker 4:What is it Just?
Speaker 3:It's not hard. What is it?
Speaker 4:Just ocean water pressure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, whatever You're directing my power. Next thing is loose titanicking and just laying in the bed waiting for the water to engulf him, right.
Speaker 3:There's minor trivias that we're doing. We didn't win any of them Close, but not me and we took a couple pictures. They had a life rescue thing, the ring they threw in the water, but it had two little ones on it for Mickey Head and stuff and in the middle of the big one they had Rapunzel, because Rapunzel's on the back of the ship, painting the name on the back of the ship, all the Disney ships on the back, the bow aft they have somebody painting on the ship, so this one has Rapunzel back there painting the name of the ship on there, so she's on a bunch of the marketing for it where it was like the wonder.
Speaker 1:I think I sent you guys a picture of that when I was on my cruise. Yeah.
Speaker 3:So the Wonder that we've gone on a couple times has Donald and his nephews on it.
Speaker 1:The Magic Weaver on last year.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the Magic Weaver on last year has Goofy on it.
Speaker 1:I was thinking Goof goofy was on one of them.
Speaker 3:So, and then one of the new ones has spider-man on the back fighting spider bots, because the spider bots are painting the name with spider-man's trying to stop him for some reason. It's kind of a dick, but it's kind of cool. And then that might have been our shopping night too. Wife spent like 400 in pandora.
Speaker 4:Damn woman, it makes it easy for you to buy shit. This is true.
Speaker 3:This is true Like my popcorn bucket, I miss.
Speaker 1:He's not bitter, though, Folks. He's not bitter.
Speaker 3:Not at all, not at all. If we have any Florida listeners, send it to your boy.
Speaker 1:We need to get a PO box.
Speaker 3:The next thing was Nassau in the bahamas. Zero interest in getting off, I don't, whatever right. So that morning we also had um. Aside from your rotational dining and the buffet and stuff, they do have a couple of fancy restaurants that do cost extra. So the one they have on all the ship, all all the Disney ships, is Palo Um. It's like Italian.
Speaker 1:It's supposed to be really good, so good.
Speaker 3:So we usually do a brunch. Um again, it's all you can eat. Still right, like if you want one of everything, he will bring you one of everything, the weirdest thing, but it's also very delicious.
Speaker 1:Celery soup.
Speaker 3:very delicious celery soup you wouldn't think it's good, but it's kind of good, exceeds your expectations. Yeah, you're like there's no way this is good, but you try and you're like all right, it doesn't taste like grass and it's not getting cut in between my teeth so it's so.
Speaker 3:It's not matcha no, no, it's not much at all, uh, but it was cool because we were sitting near a window so we could see everybody getting off at the port and stuff, like they have this big welcome center and like the screen playing wait, wait, let me back up.
Speaker 4:You did not get off the boat no all that shit you're giving me about it and your ass didn't get off the boat. What the fuck am I going to do in? The Bahamas man, I don't know Bahama stuff. Find yourself a Bahama mama, get robbed they got pirates there actual, that's my fault that's my fault.
Speaker 1:I told you not to get kidnapped by pirates before you got on the boat. Yeah, that's my I. I own that.
Speaker 3:I own that my bad there were two, uh, carnival ships there so we were waving at the poor's like, hi, hey, can you guys start a fight like they do on youtube and all the carnival shit? Dude, for real.
Speaker 4:Where are the black people at? Just look for the group of black people and wait for the fight to happen. Somebody took somebody's chair. False contact.
Speaker 3:Yep, or somebody threw a chair. Yeah.
Speaker 4:Somebody threw a chair because they took somebody else's chair.
Speaker 1:Yep, you guys weren't on the dream, right? No, we were on the wish.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I just saw that. That kid fell off and his dad jumped in after him. Did they both die? No, they saved him. That's what the oldest has. She's like did they survive? I'm like it says they rescued them. She's like they could have rescued the bodies. I'm like no, they would say recovered. You recover a body, you don't rescue a body. So that might have been.
Speaker 4:That's too bad. No lessons learned.
Speaker 3:I don't know that shit was probably cold. They probably got yelled at and scolded and it ain't nothing. Who knows, maybe they get banned for life?
Speaker 4:I'm about punishment. I'm about capital punishment for everything but whatever. Instead, we live in this society.
Speaker 3:That might have been Star Wars Trivia Day, because it wasn't on Beach Day Three-way tie yeah, so this is three-way tie day, your second. Your second chance to be at number one. Yeah, so this was a three-way tie. What the hell was the tiebreaker?
Speaker 4:Yeah, what was the tiebreaker? I don't even think I asked you that. What was the tiebreaker? Was there a question that stumped you at all?
Speaker 3:On this one. No, no, okay, this one was easy.
Speaker 1:No, this one was super easy Did you have a group or did you play solo on it?
Speaker 3:No, I found another dude. He hung out with me. I actually did the Advance with him too.
Speaker 4:We hung out a lot. That was the guy from the first one. No.
Speaker 3:Homeboy. I never saw him again. Dude might have fell off the ship.
Speaker 4:I never saw him again Because he was supposed to do the third one, the Advance one, yeah, after the guy he met in the first.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but he never showed up again I just assumed that that's what was the case.
Speaker 1:I got a new trivia buddy. You don't remember what the tiebreaker was.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I cannot remember what the tiebreaker was on that one man, you're getting old.
Speaker 4:Memories first go.
Speaker 3:Dude, look Cruise. Memory is weird. It all blends together and you forget everything. You need a journal.
Speaker 4:Where's your journal?
Speaker 1:Yeah, where's your journal? Right, we need to buy you a Disney journal. So when you go and do the shit you can write it down.
Speaker 3:I just write it all down Live blogging. I'll pay for the internet package next time and just Instagram it all.
Speaker 4:And then you write it off with your taxes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Businesses yeah. So then you did the advance after, or was that the?
Speaker 3:next day yeah, the advance was on the last day, I think. Yeah, I think it was in the afternoon after, because then the third day on the ship yeah, it was the beach day, so we got up early, we went out to the beach, I went in the water for a little bit, but then everybody ditched me. So I was like, well, fuck you guys, I went and took a nap on the beach. It was kind of nice.
Speaker 4:On the beach, on the sand. You slept on the sand.
Speaker 3:Oh, what kind of heathen do you think I am? They have a bunch of chairs and shit on them a beach in the first place.
Speaker 4:That's the kind of heathen I think you are. You went. It starts and stops right there. I went to the beach, I'm out.
Speaker 3:No, they have chairs and umbrellas and shit that just live out there. You just go out there, you get drinks and shit brought to you.
Speaker 4:Are those chairs on the sand? Yeah, how do you get to the chair?
Speaker 3:You walk through the sand, bro, float you float, he walks through the sand bro.
Speaker 1:You float.
Speaker 3:I was this close to taking a picture of my sandy-ass feet and sending them to you.
Speaker 4:I just hope I wasn't eating. You would have got that emoji.
Speaker 3:Look at the sandy hobbits I got.
Speaker 1:I'm just really glad to know that if I ever get tired of Lou's house, I'm just going to be like I'm going to the beach and he'll be like I'm out. Really glad to know that if I ever get tired of Lou's house, I'm just going to be like I'm going to the beach and he'll be like I'm out, all right, cool.
Speaker 4:It's like all you had to say was I wanted some time to myself. You didn't have to just go to the beach.
Speaker 1:That's my safe word. Is the beach Right, right, hey Lou, I think.
Speaker 4:I want to go to the beach. Cool, I'll catch up with you in a couple hours. I'll know what that means. We could be freaking middle of the country, no water around, no beach around. Hey, lou, I'm gonna go to the beach, gotcha buddy.
Speaker 3:See you in three hours kill his mom and he's like coming. John wick, after you just go, stand on the beach yep, come and get me what you doing now.
Speaker 4:It's like you'll die of old age over there too.
Speaker 1:That's fine, yeah, because that's awesome Right there on the pavement. You could never leave the beach Because we're on the beach. That makes you old. You're there long enough. You're there long enough.
Speaker 4:It'll kill you. I'll have Uber Eats delivered to my ass and lose weight. You ain't getting off that beach.
Speaker 1:Every time I order Uber Eats, the driver just gets killed by Lou as he walks by. What walks by? What are you doing? Fuck your food.
Speaker 4:No, no, not fuck your food. I'm about to eat your food.
Speaker 1:Thank you for my dinner, then I'm about there catching seafood. I'm not even going to eat it, lou.
Speaker 4:Right.
Speaker 3:I got this crab Look at it.
Speaker 1:I'm putting it back in the water. Be free, we'll sand on it.
Speaker 4:Great Great.
Speaker 3:They move Well, sand on it. Right. While he's tugging the grapes over. So they move. They move a lot of the food off of the ship, so you kind of have to go if you want the good food. I'll deal with not good food. Yeah, that's fine too Well.
Speaker 1:You don't have to go to the beach to get the good food you don't. You can stay on the boardwalk.
Speaker 4:It is paid. They have a boardwalk. They have a boardwalk. Is all that food included too?
Speaker 1:Yes, well, because you're on the Disney Island, so everything on the Disney Island is included.
Speaker 4:It's like an extension of the ship at that point Basically.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, that's cool, the Wi-Fi still works out here.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, there's places where I'm not going to touch the sand.
Speaker 1:It's fine, you can rent bikes and golf carts and shit like that and go around you can just walk around and check out chicks in their bikinis.
Speaker 4:I'd say walking around part is fine. Chicks in their bikinis is definitely fine. Chicks out of their bikinis is finer.
Speaker 1:But that happens in the water, Lou. You're on the Disney Island, Lou. There ain't no new beach on the Disney Island.
Speaker 4:I might like me some boobies, but I don't like them that much. They can stay in the water. Uh-uh, they can be without me.
Speaker 1:I'll get a zoom Lou out there with a pair of binoculars.
Speaker 4:Yep, I'll get some binoculars For real, Looking down every five seconds making sure the sand ain't coming up on me. Shit, I mean. Matter of fact, I won't even wear them like this I'm going to wear. I have one eye out so I can still look down.
Speaker 1:Then just get a telescope Lou out there with the hey it'd be appropriate, my own pirate shit going on. Click, click, click, lou stopped.
Speaker 4:It's going to be this, this, this, this.
Speaker 1:So you got a nice nap.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Then we had breakfast or lunch. I guess. The crazy shit about that island, though, is the seagulls know when it's dinner time, and they all just come and they will straight up land on your table, and they were like damn, what are you gonna do about it? Bitch, I'm gonna eat your hamburger mine, mine, yeah, mine mine right, but like people are scared of them because when they come and land they'd like flap their wings real quick to like stop. And bitches are like ah.
Speaker 4:They're trying to kill me, the birds, the birds I'm telling you break one of their necks and leave it on your table. Leave that dead bird on your table, the other ones will learn.
Speaker 1:Capital punishment, but I ain't eating no food with no dead bird on the table.
Speaker 4:Why not? It ain't doing nothing to you.
Speaker 3:They're big tails. You can put it on one side of the tail.
Speaker 4:Yeah, just put it over there that way they all know.
Speaker 1:Except for the only catch would be the seagull lands and got sandy feet.
Speaker 4:And Lou's like oh shit, whoa, I'm starting to sweat. You need to stop that shit.
Speaker 1:He's like it's between David Blaine doing a magic trick and he's like, oh, my god oh my god, get away. Yeah, we can't.
Speaker 4:No, yeah, I'm going to go back on the boat. As soon as that shit happens, I'm back on the boat. I will eat the disgusting food that's left on the boat. Forget all the good stuff. What are you eating? Some takis, I got, I got. I got leftover cold pizza or some shit, Sub sandwich Celery the celery soup. And a sub sandwich that's got the saran wrap wrapped. That's how you know the quality of the sub sandwich it's got saran wrap and a fucking barcode sticker holding that saran wrap. Closed.
Speaker 1:And it expired. It expired the day you got on the boat.
Speaker 4:Man man, I know, I know.
Speaker 3:He is sweating, yeah, so we got. We left we ate. We left. Go shower, get changed up, wash all that sand off, coarse and rough and it gets everywhere. Do that first.
Speaker 4:Walk around with a bottle every step.
Speaker 3:They do have showers next to the restroom so you can wash it all off.
Speaker 4:That's not bad.
Speaker 3:Yeah. I got my feet so my feet weren't all sandy. If you're washing it off, that means it got on you Exactly, yeah. But then it started to storm. We went out onto our veranda and we were looking and you just see the clouds coming in and it just came down.
Speaker 4:It was cray did they make you like stay indoors and that happens? Are you allowed to go outside, even even though it's raining? You know that no, you could.
Speaker 3:It's slippery as fuck.
Speaker 4:They warn you yeah, I mean just like hang on to the rail just just to be out in it and watch it. I think that would be kind of cool yeah, I mean, well, we're, we are.
Speaker 3:Ferrando was covered, so yeah, no, we just stay out there and chill. We watched everybody come off the island getting soaked, like you gonna drown, honky you know, just stand there in line pores damn the pores right, um. So then I think, that was um. After that was advanced star wars trivia um what about questions there?
Speaker 1:what's done?
Speaker 4:oh, this is the one where, like the next highest group got five wrong, you guys only got three wrong, right?
Speaker 1:yeah, too long yeah so tell me your five. You got wrong, come on.
Speaker 4:No, no, no, he only got two wrong, but the next closest team they were all butthurt because in trivia obviously each question the value, you got five points. If they got three wrong they lost by 15 points. That's pretty damn. That's a hell of a beatdown.
Speaker 3:Some of them weren't actually that hard. One that stumped us for a little bit was what planet was introduced? Um, in the mandalorian, where ahsoka fought. Uh, lady elspeth corvus, yep, so that took.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was the. Uh, that was the one with michael bian on it, right where there's the. It was the temple and it started out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, or he was like a security guard or something. Yeah, so that one took a little bit to think of the word, but the one that I got wrong for sure was you'll never get better, or who said you'll? Never get better sleep than being curled up in a Wookiee's lap.
Speaker 4:I could remember his name, but I knew when Jack told me that I was like uh.
Speaker 1:Was it somebody from the Young Jedi? No, Woody.
Speaker 3:Harrel Jedi. Woody Harrelson. No, it was Rio Durant, I could not remember his name. It was not Filoni the other guy, it was Favreau's character in Solo. Yeah, I didn't like how it was written because there's a lot of answers that it could be. What advice did Han give Finn when they went to Maz's castle? I put women always find out the truth, because that is one of the things he said to him. But that wasn't the answer they were looking for. It was don't stare.
Speaker 4:I'm like that's when you meet. Maz, though that wasn't like going into the castle when they're on their way into the castle.
Speaker 1:That's also advice.
Speaker 4:Yeah, but it wasn't advice going to the castle, that was advice elsewhere on. The Women Always Find Out, Literally right before they walked in the bar. He said that to them.
Speaker 1:It was like oh yeah.
Speaker 4:Oh, by the way, or something like that, don't stare. But then, yeah, it's like oh, by the way or something like that Don't stare, yeah.
Speaker 3:But then, yeah, like Moff Tarkin's first name, that was on there again. That was on there last year.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, that was Wilhelm or Wilhuff, wilhuff, wilhuff, yeah, yeah, it was last year I remember that, mm-?
Speaker 3:How did Kylo find his way to Exegol? What did he use? The Sith Holocron.
Speaker 4:The Wayfinder. The Wayfinder.
Speaker 1:Wait, exegol. What are you guys talking about? It's the one that's in. Star.
Speaker 4:Tours. Yeah, that one.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, that one weird one where you're underwater and going through a burned out Death Star. Yeah Cool, never Cool.
Speaker 3:Never not be funny. Another one that stumped a lot of haters because everybody's like I don't watch the sequels. Oh, yeah. Was who did Luke say no one's ever really gone to Exactly?
Speaker 1:But I don't watch the sequels when they had their last meeting, when he gave her the dice right, yep, yep.
Speaker 3:The haters, bro, fuck them. I'm not saying the sequels are my favorite.
Speaker 1:But I'm saying if we went on a Disney cruise, I'd make sure to watch all eight of them before the last one's on you guys. They'd be like how many ships. At least count the other two, buddy Go 10. I can go 10.
Speaker 3:I hope they did ask what ship Kylo flew in Last Jedi. Was it Last Jedi? No, it had to be Skywalker.
Speaker 4:I think that's yeah, the one where he was chasing Rey in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the tie. It was like a tie variation, right? Mm-hmm. Did they ever actually say the name? It's on the toy box, at least.
Speaker 4:It's on the toy.
Speaker 1:I don't know, but I'm saying in the movie in the movie they no Okay.
Speaker 4:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, no, yeah, no.
Speaker 2:But he flew that in the second one too, when he blew out the window before mary poppins.
Speaker 1:Yeah right he had the same ship up until up until she cut it open.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I love the last jedi, but I could call it out.
Speaker 3:I'm okay with that. So it's after all the trivies. You hold up your paper. They're like who got one, who got two, and as you your number gets called, you put it down right, because you don't have it anymore. Everybody put their papers down at 15. I'm still holding mine up like 16 what was 15?
Speaker 1:wait what was 15 the number of questions you got right no, no, oh, number of questions you got right, okay, I thought number okay yeah, so he's like 15, 16, 17, 18.
Speaker 3:I'm like that's where I stopped, but everybody else was down at like 15, so Nice job sir.
Speaker 4:And then, um, did you need the other guy's help for that one? No, yeah, did he need your help?
Speaker 3:Probably, I think so. Yeah, okay, because he was not a sequel hater, but he wasn't as well-versed in them, which I mean. It's fair, you know they're newer, it's cool to hate them, right now Newer.
Speaker 4:The first one came out 10 years ago.
Speaker 1:Still Hating, but again, people hated the prequels for a decade.
Speaker 3:Exactly.
Speaker 1:The prequels are now just getting their love, so it took 20, 25 years for them to get their flowers exactly well for one and two anyway this dude walks in, he's wearing a tank top, he's got this whole freaking Star Wars sleeve.
Speaker 3:I'm like, oh, there's my competition nope, he was on 15 and then I saw him up on the deck later getting drinks at the bar like sorry drinking is, drinking is yep, drinking is all right, I had both my medals on, because they only give you four medals per team. So I gave the other dude two, I kept two. So I'm walking up there with my two medals on just strutting.
Speaker 4:Wait, was it just you two as a team?
Speaker 3:It was me. The wife and the oldest were all there.
Speaker 4:So why didn't you get the three and he get one? Because he gave the other one and his wife, and they didn't care.
Speaker 1:Wait he had his wife too, she wasn't there, but the wife and the kid didn't care.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they don't care. Well, I'm just thinking if it's two to two, if it's four people on a team, then all four get a medal. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Basically, he gave up one of his medals to give to him.
Speaker 1:They were just there.
Speaker 4:All you have to do is be there. That counts.
Speaker 3:If the answer wasn't Loathcat, they didn't know.
Speaker 4:There was a lot of high school physics Things that I did when other people got Medals off of my work Still better.
Speaker 1:Still better. The important part, people Is. Lou does not carry a grudge.
Speaker 4:At all. Fucking. Fuck you. 95 Houston Rockets beating the Lakers in the playoffs, Whatever.
Speaker 3:And then that night's show was Aladdin. Aladdin Live is so much fun because the genie gets to just go fucking crazy, right? So obviously it's edited for time and all that shit, right? So it's not like the whole Aladdin story. So they cut out Abu, very sad. I don't know how you do Aladdin without Abu.
Speaker 4:Yeah, what the hell.
Speaker 1:I think it would be hard to do Abu, though, unless you just had him as a static animatronic at the front of the stage or something.
Speaker 4:Well, they did it with the whole lion king. They just hold up a cardboard thing or whatever, and that would have been I mean they had iago iago's in there.
Speaker 3:He's like a puppet if they can do that, then they can do a boo so the genie comes out, they get to that part and um, so he's like oh, you don't know my name yet, so we haven't done my theme song. So I was like, hell, yeah, here it goes. Never had a friend like me. He goes louis flying carpet. Oh my god, yeah I like that.
Speaker 3:That's funny I was dying, um. And then the other part where he asked where Aladdin asked him what his wish would be. He's like well, nobody's ever asked me that. I just have so many dreams. It would just be so full of magic and I would treasure it so much. Just go. He went through and named all the Disney ships. That was hilarious. That sounds cool. I like that one.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that was hilarious. That sounds cool. I like that one.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was pretty good. Um, and the effects in it were good too, like when jafar turns into a snake and stuff. It's all done really well for a broadway show on a cruise ship right on a boat.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah just be like where's black, cario, where's black? Get her out here, she's on stage playing someone else.
Speaker 3:She might have been fucking jasmine that night, I don't remember. Yeah, yeah, lou doesn't understand broadway companies where they just have to ask whoever they have is who yeah looking at you, hamilton right and then um, dinner.
Speaker 3:That night was actually aladdin was the next night there. On that night, um, there's the beach island night, yeah, so it was pirates of the caribbean, so there was like a pirate party that would have been on deck if it didn't rain, um, and fireworks um. But that night we watched elio, which I actually enjoyed. It was super enjoyable. Disney's marketing team failed that movie 100 but it was super enjoyable.
Speaker 1:I liked it a lot. Did you even see any elio stuff in the uh parks when you guys were there?
Speaker 3:yeah, they got um. They got like plushies and stuff um. I know they released a couple of pins but yeah, no, their marketing team failed that movie Huge.
Speaker 4:Well, it's only projected to lose $250 million. So far.
Speaker 3:They should have tried to market it a little better.
Speaker 4:I think Disney forgot they had a movie coming out. Well, it probably wouldn't have done well anyway. Disney's failed so many parents that they just don't trust them anymore.
Speaker 3:This one has a Mexican kid in it.
Speaker 4:He's not Mexican. Yes, he is. No, he's Korean, he's Mexican, you sure he's Mexican.
Speaker 1:He is, have you seen?
Speaker 4:the movie, all the videos I'm watching, say the kid's Korean, he's not Korean, korean he's not Korean. Maybe that's part of the problem. You're right.
Speaker 1:The marketing did fail. You don't even know what race.
Speaker 4:The kid is Exactly. And then they make a Mexican because that's not a hot topic right now. Their last name is Solis, okay, Mexican S-O-L-I-S. No, that could be like South American, like Brazil or something.
Speaker 3:It's not Korean.
Speaker 4:He could be half Korean. He could be half Korean, we don't know. Do they show mom and dad in the movie?
Speaker 3:Yes, there's a picture of them, because they're dead, because it's a Disney movie.
Speaker 4:Figures. So, yes, there's a picture of them because they're dead. Because it's a Disney movie, I figured, so one of them could have been Korean. His name could have been something Kim Solis.
Speaker 3:But it was pretty good. The little alien dude was cool. It was funny, I enjoyed it. And Zoe Saldana was the aunt, so she's Mexican too.
Speaker 4:I'd watch it when it's free on Disney. I don't have the hate for that one. Like Little Mermaid and Snow White, it's also an animated movie, Luke.
Speaker 1:It's not a real life movie.
Speaker 4:Don't matter, I can still hate it.
Speaker 1:As you do most things, so it's fine.
Speaker 4:Yeah, come on now. Have you not met me?
Speaker 1:Yes, I have.
Speaker 4:The hate is real. I mean it's Disney, Not like we're talking about Ironheart or anything.
Speaker 3:So then, whatever Everything's jumbled now, we had dinner. Our last night was at the Marvel restaurant.
Speaker 1:So you got to help Ant-Man and Wasp again.
Speaker 3:Yep, that's cool they have these quantum generators Marvel restaurant. So you got to help Ant-Man and Wasp again. Yep, yeah, that's cool. They have these quantum generators on everybody's table. It has four buttons on it. You push it at a certain time during the show, there's a show on the screen and then you shrink the ship down and there's a huge seagull next to the ship.
Speaker 4:While you're having dinner.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:That's kind of cool. I might be a little distracted. The food's good, but that's still kind of cool.
Speaker 3:It's not playing the whole time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you get time to eat.
Speaker 3:In between they show the Avenger files. So they're showing clips from Black Panther and Ant-Man and all this other shit. And then at the end there is an actual movie. Falcon comes onto the ship because Ultron is trying to take over the ship because the quantum generator is there. Then Ms Marvel shows up and Captain Marvel who else it might just be those three Spider-Man is on his way. He finally gets there at the end and comes around and says hi to everyone at their table. That's kind of cool. Wow, they got the rights for that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, mcu spider-man I mean, yeah, I suppose okay, so and it's funny because there's clips going around of this little movie that they show on this on the ship, but it's like dark and blurry and they're like, oh, here's footage from doomsday that they just started filming. I'm'm like no, that's from the cruise ship dinner.
Speaker 4:That's not quite what that is, but thanks for being dumbasses.
Speaker 1:It's the genie was the one putting it on, Guys this is. Doomsday.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then the next morning was breakfast. We had to go back to Marvel for breakfast. Before they kick you off the ship.
Speaker 4:Had to.
Speaker 3:If you want breakfast, yeah.
Speaker 4:That's the only option for breakfast.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you go to whatever restaurant you had dinner at the night before.
Speaker 4:That's the standard thing, okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah, just so everybody's not crowded into one restaurant.
Speaker 4:So did you do the buffet at all?
Speaker 3:Yeah, we did it a couple times, we so did you do the buffet at all? Yeah, we did it a couple times.
Speaker 4:So we did it that first time on the first day.
Speaker 3:Oh, you couldn't get it to the sandwich restaurant. I think I went up there with the oldest once or twice, but mostly we ate at the food court because there's like five or six different stations. There's like a burger and hot dog station, a taco station, a barbecue station, um, an ice cream station I hated that one the most. A pizza one, um yeah. So one night they showed um Empire Strikes Back up on the On the deck.
Speaker 1:That'd be dope.
Speaker 4:I remember you watched that one. That was the same night that I showed old girl seagulls for the first time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what she loved.
Speaker 3:Only people With taste would love it.
Speaker 4:I mean, let's be real, she didn't. I mean, I don't know if she'll be back.
Speaker 1:There's the door. Leave your key.
Speaker 4:Wasn't she supposed to come to San Diego? I'm like, yeah, there was a problem Supposed to. She didn't laugh when that log or leave your key. Wasn't she supposed to?
Speaker 3:come to San Diego, I'm like, yeah, there was a problem Supposed to she didn't laugh when that log had a child.
Speaker 4:She did not and that's why she's not here, but it was so funny. She found that funny and as soon as that came up, I showed her your text, because the last text that I got from you was that quote.
Speaker 3:So she started laughing even more when I showed her that, so I didn't watch all of it, just because we had to get up early the next day for whatever you know how it ends, whatever, yeah, exactly, I've seen it once or twice. I've seen it a couple times. I was just laying there with my two medals, just chilling um I would have walked around three medals the whole time right. The only problem is the first and last one were both Pluto and I'm like.
Speaker 4:Oh, they're not Star Wars medals.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, they're just generic ones, right, we talked about that for the last cruise. Yeah, they're just cruise ship medals.
Speaker 1:You had a bunch of duplicates that you had to swap with people or whatever to get.
Speaker 3:So I'm trying to just get the whole set. I'm trying to just get the whole set. Once you have the whole set, are?
Speaker 4:you still doing trivia. I'm like, yeah, I need doubles to train Crush people's dreams. Yeah, the point. Did you not watch Conan the Barbarian Right, they're a rule.
Speaker 3:She did go watch Thunderbolts for a second time. We were just going to watch it for a little bit. I only watched it for a little bit because there was another trivia I wanted to go to. It was Disney Toons trivia and I fucking bombed it. I should have just watched Thunderbolts, but yeah no, she watched the whole thing, disney what, which is. Toons, toons. Yeah, that was the music one right and the movie yeah.
Speaker 4:Oh, good God.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it hurt it hurt.
Speaker 4:Did anybody get all 20?
Speaker 3:No, but there was another Disney tunes that we did later and somebody did get 20 out of 20. They were both high school music teachers that go to Disney all the time.
Speaker 4:I was like fuck you guys.
Speaker 1:You know the difference between A-fl. A minor a so does, so does drake at least I get the joke last time I didn't get the joke now I get it.
Speaker 4:Y'all talking about that negro and negro music crime.
Speaker 1:I get you, I'm there I just love the fact that I'm able to talk in a podcast that nobody listens to about Drake and McKendrick Bam got my Kendrick tour shirt on.
Speaker 3:There we go, Monster.
Speaker 4:Yep, whatever that. I don't know what that means, but whatever.
Speaker 3:It's the DJ's name.
Speaker 4:Oh really.
Speaker 3:And his real name is Dijon, so you know growing up they called him. Monster. Fucking.
Speaker 4:Grey. Poupon over here.
Speaker 1:There's one weekend one of the podcasts. There will be a podcast that we send Lou a bunch of rap music and then we have to explain it to him. It'll be the weirdest podcast ever.
Speaker 4:I was like I don't get this one. It's like, yeah, we're sitting here white-splaining rap music to Lou. That would be a fun podcast. It's like, oh wait, guys, this one was really good. When did that one come out?
Speaker 1:87. And it's Kenny Rogers.
Speaker 4:We're like, oh my God, he didn't know where to hold him or fold him. It was wild, it was wild. It was poker rap. Wrong playlist.
Speaker 1:Shit, oh man poker round wrong playlist shit oh man then you hopped off the boat and came back, or were you there for a night?
Speaker 3:no, we had to go back to the Polynesian for, uh, you know how timeshares be right like hey, come and see, blah, blah, blah aren't you top tier?
Speaker 4:no that was Disney.
Speaker 3:So we went to go check out the new. Oh yeah, blah, blah, blah. Wait, aren't you top tier? No, that was Disney, oh, okay, okay. So we went to go check out the new tower they have at Polynesian Beautiful, by the way, I would totally stay there, but with two mortgages right now we couldn't swing it right. That's fair. But we only went because when we were at Epcot we went to the DVC lounge and they had this cool little messenger bag, you know, like the Hello Kitty one. She got in that other place that we were at.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so she's like oh, cool, a DVC one. So they're like, well, yeah, come and do a member update. So we went and listened to them talk and price everything. The cool part about Disney, though, is you're just like no, I'm good. They're like okay, cool, I'll walk you out, here's your free gift. Instead of oh, let me get my manager, oh, but we can do this, but we can do this. What if I throw in? This is another gift? Don't you just tell them no, and I'm like okay for parking. Like hey, well, give me free parking.
Speaker 4:I'm like well, first of all, I ain't got time. That's the best. It's like well, when are you free between now and I'm not?
Speaker 3:I will be gone. He technically doesn't have a full weekend ticket to come.
Speaker 4:Dude right, I still don't have time.
Speaker 1:They don't know that.
Speaker 3:Look, I just Sir, I see, here.
Speaker 4:You're not even going to preview night you keep thinking that, sir, you keep thinking that um my name dan dan. Daniel is a boy's name.
Speaker 3:I'm just saying stop hating minnesota vikings fans now, yeah, daniel got it.
Speaker 1:So then, um then, yeah, we went to uh, there's a Stop hating, I mean.
Speaker 3:Minnesota Vikings fans know yeah, Daniel got it. So then, yeah, we went to. There's a place out there called Cheddar's, it's really good food.
Speaker 4:Oh, we had those out here. Yeah, the cafe.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so we go. We stopped there ate, went to the airport. That wasn't delayed. I watched Ironheart on the way home, home. I was hoping it would last longer.
Speaker 1:It's like a four-ish hour flight. Oh oh yeah, just under an hour yeah, you were done, you were done in like two and a half hours and you're like 43 minutes, 47 minutes, 40 minutes I really hate that they're I mean, we're not talking about Ironheart, but I really Disney's made a really bad habit of building in the ad times to the shows even though you don't have ads right. Like they're making the show so they can put ads into it. That's why it's 43 minutes?
Speaker 4:Yep, I don't. I don't see it that way, I see it, I just. They just write, whatever the reason why their their times are inconsistent. That that was the truth. I would expect every hour long show to be 43 minutes or whatever it is.
Speaker 1:I mean there's, there's a variable in there, but I mean I think that a lot of them are set up for to add ads because they're putting, they're, they're putting peacemaker on fucking tnt I saw an ad and I'm like, but but peacemaker is the same thing. It's like 43 minutes, 40, 40.
Speaker 4:It's between 40 and 43 minutes, Like so like yeah, but like moon night, for example, you got a, a 47 minute episode and then a 33 minute episode. That to me, that doesn't add up to that, that I can't conclude that because that's what always bugged me about Mandalorian DeLorean too yeah.
Speaker 3:Standard, freaking whatever.
Speaker 4:Jerks At the same time. Just give me the story. If it takes an hour.
Speaker 1:It takes an hour.
Speaker 4:If it takes 40 minutes, just whatever it takes to get to the story.
Speaker 1:I don't think there's been very many hour-long episodes of any of their series, though.
Speaker 4:No, not anymore. Early on I think there was maybe WandaVision some 50-something minute close to it. But you're right, I think they've been hovering in the low 40s, mid 40s for a while. That just could be a production thing like cost-wise, budget-wise. I don't know. I don't know Whatever they're doing, I just want it, whatever it takes, to tell the story properly. I don't care how. If it's a 31-minute episode, fine. If it's a 51 minute episode, fine. Just don't leave me like wanting one way or the other. How the hell did that story?
Speaker 1:take an hour and a half. That's what I was looking at. I was like you don't have any times we've done the. Okay, let's talk about this adventure, that so and so went on, and then you're like you talk about it and you're like it's been 18 minutes, wait, hang on.
Speaker 4:So we're not gonna leave out some details.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, what we should do is we should cut it here and then we'll jump into the next one and we'll be a week ahead.
Speaker 4:All right.
Speaker 1:We'll just record the trailers, one right now.
Speaker 4:That's not a bad idea, because I'm going to be at Denver Comic Con next week.
Speaker 1:I mean I'm good for rolling into doing the trailers for next week. I mean I'm good for rolling into doing the trailers for next week. Doing next week's pod tonight, and then we're good for the next two weeks.
Speaker 4:Either way, whatever, like I told you, I don't have to work. We'll talk about it after, but with that being said, Jack, I'm glad you had a good time Always, because that's how we roll.
Speaker 1:Next year we're all going to be on it together. We'll have the internet package. One of us will have the internet package, so it'll be a stuttery three-shot of us. Anything else? Lou, how was your week real quick.
Speaker 4:Not bad Quiet, fast, busy, all of it. It's like everything, everything you could think of, it all happened. It was like, oh, this part of the week was slow, this part of week was fast, this part was busy, this part I got you. It was just, but nothing crazy though. So it was like a lot of it is just. You know, I'm I am getting my stuff together, getting organized for denver comic con are you uh driving in every day to denver?
Speaker 1:are you staying in Denver? Yeah?
Speaker 4:it's only a 20-minute drive for me, Okay that's not bad at all 25 max maybe Not at all so yeah. I'll just drive in park at the convention center.
Speaker 4:I'll get there early enough to get parking and then I'll head over and walk over to a place called Sam 3 for breakfast every morning and then for lunch I'll hit someplace downtown. There's a ramen place that I like. I'll hit there at least once. A second one, similar, is ramen and other things. I'll hit that one at least once, because it's four days it's Thursday through Sunday, nice and then we'll go from there. Get some lot of grass for me, get some done for Jack. Yeah, so that'll be next week. That'll be next week's conversation, if it happens, or the week after it'll be.
Speaker 1:I'll feel you guys in a how denver comic and rosa hasn't been doing um an overarching theme for their shirts this year.
Speaker 4:No oh yeah, the way it's not floral like it was last year, yeah, so that's kind of weird yeah, I'm curious. I mean with with the con.
Speaker 1:In four days I'm haven't heard any reports I would expect it probably even to be tomorrow. Yeah, it's usually the Monday or Tuesday before, right, jack? Yeah, they usually give you a couple days.
Speaker 4:I've got at least two other people going with Friday and Saturday. We'll see how Sunday goes. So if we need extra stuff, I've got extra people to grab and you've got your Hilton Park in direct Yep.
Speaker 1:Nice For San.
Speaker 4:Diego. You know what I heard when it went up to the general public. When it went up on Monday, there was still convention parking available, that's so weird, so they must have held back some for the first 100 people or something, something. Yeah, don't like it, but it's cool.
Speaker 1:Yep, all right, 100 people or something. Don't like it, but it's cool.
Speaker 3:Alright, kids Lou have fun at.
Speaker 1:Denver Comic Con. Maybe it'll just be trailers, maybe it'll be.
Speaker 3:Lou Bye Peace.
