welcome back to the alice podcast with allison and alex she's I'm allison I am.
Speaker 3:It's june 2nd I can't believe we're in June already.
Speaker 1:That's wild.
Speaker 3:It is crazy bananas, crazy Cookie bananas June 2nd. This is Monday, june 2nd. So I want you guys to know we are pre-recording. We love to tell you that because we're both going to be in Indiana and on June 2nd, as of today, I'm at the top of the Millennium Force in Cedar Point.
Speaker 1:And I am on my way home, here, back. Yep, the millennium force is good. I won't.
Speaker 3:Well, now would I not enjoy it because I'm old and everything hurts me now I mean, I went on it last summer and it was just as enjoyable as it was when I was 10 wasn't it at one point like the tallest, the biggest drop ever, correct?
Speaker 1:and now it's not anymore, or is it still?
Speaker 3:No, I don't think it is anymore. But it is. No, it's definitely not anymore. But it is a giga coaster with an elevator lift hill. That is.
Speaker 1:What. What does that mean?
Speaker 3:Okay, so it's an elevator lift system, it's not a chain. So you know, a chain is a typical roller coaster, yes, the cranking sound yes. This is an elevator lift system. So basically this mechanism comes down and goes into the train and you go. Guys, look at the screen, you go out of the station and like this, like this steep Vertical If you're listening and not watching. Pretty much vertical Vertical Very quickly to the all the way to the top.
Speaker 1:I do remember that part. I remember that part. I feel like get the hair. I feel like I probably like high school or right after was the last time?
Speaker 3:I've been there. Well, millennium force opened in the millennium, so we were 10, so that you definitely would have written that, do you?
Speaker 1:oh, it had just opened, so maybe it was right before high school, middle school because you are in fourth grade when you're 10 Going into fifth. The year 2000, but I went to school in 2004, high school in 2004. So I'm saying like before, at some point before high school.
Speaker 3:Oh, got you, I understand.
Speaker 1:I think. I feel it might not have just opened when I went, but it like wasn't that old.
Speaker 3:Sure, well, I am excited because there is a new roller coaster that just opened this year called Siren's Curse.
Speaker 1:That's the one where it detaches from yes the track Sure the track, and then you flip forward. Not flip, but you rotate.
Speaker 3:Yeah, gravity pushes the coaster forward.
Speaker 1:And then it clicks in and then you go.
Speaker 3:And you drop.
Speaker 1:I don't know, that might be the line for me.
Speaker 3:I'm going.
Speaker 1:Gonna do it because I see I get too many videos now of things going wrong on roller coasters you are being served a lot of that content, which is aren't they closing one of the cedar points? There is only one cedar point sure six flags, are they closing one?
Speaker 3:are they they?
Speaker 1:I think so.
Speaker 3:Well, cedar Fair now owns Six Flags, so maybe they're rebranding it. Stanley, you're going to hurt your back, buddy, can you lay this way? Thank you.
Speaker 1:Six Flags okay, hold on is closing two of its parks permanently. Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor in Maryland will close at the end of the 2025 season. Oh have you been there?
Speaker 3:No, oh well, I get to see a theme park close, though, but you know what A bunch of people who make movies are going to get excited about that, because soon it will be an abandoned theme park.
Speaker 1:And they love that. Yeah, they do. What theme park did they shoot Zombieland Uh?
Speaker 3:do you know? I don't. I wonder if it was jazzland in new orleans, because that was a six flags park that closed because of the hurricane and then never reopened, which is a great documentary. You guys closed for the storm on hbo is a great documentary about this park, how it came to be and and then when it closed for Hurricane Katrina, and how it's never been reopened.
Speaker 1:I haven't watched it, but I have seen videos about it. Yeah, the 2009 film Zombieland was filmed at Wild Adventures theme park in Valdosta Georgia.
Speaker 3:I feel like that is an active park, so they just made it look desolate.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was going to say maybe they made Knott's Berry look desolate. Yeah, I was going to say maybe they made Knott's Berry look desolate.
Speaker 3:but that would have been cool.
Speaker 1:Guess not. Anyway, I hope that you're having a good time on your rollercoaster right now, I'm sure I am.
Speaker 3:I do love a rollercoaster.
Speaker 1:I think that it would. I would have to have some time in between going to a Six Flags or a Cedar, Like what do you? Mean, we went how long ago? A couple months.
Speaker 3:Four months Six flags.
Speaker 1:December, december. I'm not ready to go back. My neck and head hurt so bad and I was very nauseous.
Speaker 3:We are different people.
Speaker 1:I for cause I hadn't been on a roller coasters like that, back to back to back, in a long time, cause even knots?
Speaker 3:Probably, since knots.
Speaker 1:But knots isn't even like that, I feel. They time Cause even not since knots. But knots isn't even like that. I feel they're better taken care of. Maybe that's it Cause I, but I feel like when we've been to knots like we don't go on those kinds of roller coasters back to back.
Speaker 3:Sure, the difference is you went with your boyfriend and you guys wrote everything Like I do not ride the two of the rides you, you ride. I would never ride, yeah, and I didn't really know that.
Speaker 1:And he's like no, I'm writing them, but it was because he was leaving early and so it was like we got there early and he tried to get on as many things as we could before. So sure, I guess, if I had just gone at a normal time and leisurely walked through, maybe it was. But yeah and crazy.
Speaker 3:That makes sense, though, because, yeah, I would also not be able to go if I didn't curate my experience to be the rides that I know won't.
Speaker 1:F me, and now I don't remember what were they.
Speaker 3:X2.
Speaker 1:X2.
Speaker 3:Did you do Tatsu the flying one? No, it was closed.
Speaker 1:But the very first one is like the one with the oldest loop Revolution. I feel like that gave me a headache, yeah. That one is like a million years old it's so old. Yeah, I think it was X two in that one.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Honestly, I really enjoyed, uh, the Ninja one. Oh yeah, that one was great.
Speaker 3:Now, if you're at Cedar point, ninja is the exact same as what iron dragon, for sure. That was my niece and nephew's first roller coaster. It was so cute to watch them ride it, oh my gosh, last year yeah, and they rode millennium, for they rode everything.
Speaker 1:They're ride warriors were they just the height, or were they?
Speaker 3:they're a little taller than required and like we think it was partially just them, so unaware of what was going on, yeah, and then partially because they also are like, are just like excited that we were all excited yeah because it truly. Every time we got them on a new coaster it was like not till we were going up the hill that they would be like oh wait, what yeah?
Speaker 1:um, the first one that my niece and nephew went on was the slinky dog oh at disney world that's a good one they both, I'm gonna. I think that arlen liked it and Daphne was very excited, excited. I think Arlen was like nervous and then ended up liking it.
Speaker 3:Is that a magic kingdom? Yeah, it is Right. Or is it an animal kingdom?
Speaker 1:No magic, yeah. And then Daphne was pumped and then Midway was like I don't know if I like this type thing. But then she, I think, changed her mind, mind because she really enjoyed the other rides or maybe I'm thinking of a later time, but Arlen. Then he went on Rock and Roller Coaster. And so I think it was like the very first one was like a little scary Because honestly it is marketed as a kid's coaster, but it's pretty yeah it's a rocket coaster.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like a pretty good coaster. Anyway, I hope that you're having a good time.
Speaker 3:Thank, you, I'm sure I am I won't be going for a while.
Speaker 1:That's fine, that's it. Well, since we're pre-recording, we don't have much banter for this one, but we do want to tell you that at the end of this episode, we're going to talk for a while, and then we're going to talk for a while, and then we are going to insert speaking of theme parks. Yeah, we are going to insert our footage, um and audio. Yeah, footage and audio of our on the scene podcast slash, just like you know outing uh at disneyland.
Speaker 3:Yes, if you recall, we went to disney for ali's birthday yes, a few. Right, yeah, I guess a month ago at this point.
Speaker 1:Yeah, wild you. Alex has a disclaimer on the audio. I just made that up for you. But thank you.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I am. I don't love the audio. It's not amazing. It clips a little bit, it's a little, it's a little flangey, which is a technical term, um, but I but it's usable, like it's good enough, you guys will get the gist. It's fun, it's us at the theme park and if you're, it's definitely more of a visual. So if you're listening, I mean it's still enjoyable, you can still listen, but you should go to the video and watch it just for the full effect.
Speaker 1:It was something we tried. Maybe it didn't work. No, I think that will be at the end of the episode. So if you're gonna stay and watch and listen to the whole thing, then amazing. If you're gonna tap out when we're done with the, you know normal things pure podcast form. That's okay and we'll see you next week, but we just wanted to let you know that that will be at the end of the episode. Yes, yes. So our friend Heather, who we've spoken about many times, hi, heather.
Speaker 3:Hey Heather.
Speaker 1:She sent us a video message. You won't see the video. I'll just play the audio. Yeah.
Speaker 3:She doesn't speak pipe, but she does Marco.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and she had a question for us.
Speaker 5:Hey guys, it's Heather Just dropping in to see what your predictions for the 2025 Tony Awards might be. I don't know how up to date you are, but, as a theater girly, this is obviously very important to the theatrical pop culture community. So, yeah, do you have any predictions? Any shows that are on the season that you have seen? Um, any that you're looking forward to seeing sometime? Let me know. Let me know.
Speaker 3:Okay, cute. Okay. Cute.
Speaker 1:So do you have any thoughts?
Speaker 3:I'm. You know I haven't watched the Tonys for the last couple of years.
Speaker 1:I haven't either, not on purpose. I just think I wasn't sitting down at the time to have them on. Right, I'm sure that they went up to stream afterwards, but I don't. I'm not someone who like really stays up on all the new broadway shows. I feel like from word of mouth.
Speaker 1:Or if I were to just like turn on the tony's and I saw a performance, I would be like, oh, that interests me, I'm gonna go, yes if I'm in new york, I want to see it or like putting it on my list to go, but I'm not someone who really keeps up and then, you know, listens to the soundtrack or whatever. I feel like you do sometimes right, yeah because, like the titanic one, what titan, not titanic, what?
Speaker 3:was it? Oh yeah, titanic, but what?
Speaker 1:that's not good. Right, though, right I love the titanic I saw yeah, I saw it was it bored me? How do they build Titanic? I feel like there was a new show, like in the last handful of years that you really liked.
Speaker 3:Oh, the notebook the notebook the notebook for sure Got me dear Evan Hansen. These are all like yeah, but the notebook most recently, I think that was last year.
Speaker 1:So sadly, Heather, I don't have many thoughts, but I can go through and tell you the nominees for like the best, and then we can just blindly take, make a guess, and then I have a, but I do have a game for us that has to do with it. So the nominees of for best play and best musical, that's what I'll tell you. So best play, we have English, the Hills of California. John Proctor is the villainain, o'mary and Purpose.
Speaker 3:I am so excited that O'Mary is nominated.
Speaker 1:Oh, you know this one, yes, okay.
Speaker 3:So this is the play, the comedy play that was written, directed and starred that gay. If you saw him you would know Okay, and he plays Mary Todd Lincoln.
Speaker 1:Oh, so I've heard people talk about Mary Todd Lincoln, but I had no context. I knew there was a show that yeah.
Speaker 3:And right now Todd, todd, titus, titus.
Speaker 2:Titus, titus.
Speaker 3:Titus From Kimmy Schmidt.
Speaker 1:Oh, I don't know him. Oh, he's playing mary right now, so it's a. It's a man that plays.
Speaker 3:Yes, well, a woman has played him, has played her as well okay, but it is but a man in drag yes, dressed as funny, mary todd lincoln funny yeah so that one can be our vote love that but it's a play, not a musical vote for him. I really want him to win.
Speaker 1:Amazing. So the nominees for best musical are the Buena Vista Social Club Dead Outlaw Death. Becomes Her, which I've heard people talk about I've been watching a lot of that Maybe Happy Ending and Operation Mincemeat a new musical.
Speaker 3:Wow, heard of. Only Death Becomes Her. Yeah, same mints me a new musical wow, heard of only yeah, same, that same. So my I guess, though, is for death becomes her. I mean, it's culturally like kind of taking over.
Speaker 1:I'm stoked for that I'm glad that I didn't pick it to be a part of our game I hope that what's death becomes her about you don't know no, tell me so the move?
Speaker 3:it's based on a movie with meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn, okay, and one is like a famous actress and one is something else. They take a potion from like a woo-woo person that like prevents them from dying, but they're arch enemies, so like they keep trying to kill the other one but they can't die. So literally they'll get like a hole punched through their stomach and they're just alive.
Speaker 1:Do they know that they both have? Yeah took the potion yes so why are they even trying?
Speaker 3:it's like comedy. It's very campy, okay, and megan hilty is in the musical. Got it that tiktok sound?
Speaker 1:that was rude oh, that's from that. That was really funny, that's from that um megan hilty's on it right now yeah, cute.
Speaker 3:And also, ernest, tell me, what have you seen of me cinematically? The roms, the calms, the rom from the movie or the drama the movie is not a musical, so it's original music so these sounds are coming from the show.
Speaker 1:Where are they getting the audio? It's on broadway it has a recording oh sorry.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it has a cast recording.
Speaker 1:Okay, I was like was like someone illegally did that. Okay, well, that sounds good. I think, honestly, most shows that you know make it to Broadway. They've been through so many iterations and testing that I think by the time it gets there, I think I would like most shows. I agree, Like I don't think that there's a show unless it's Titanic. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1:It's just long and it's kind of boring, I don't know. And for me to love the movie Titanic and all the lore about Titanic, it just like saddens me that I wasn't excited by it. Okay, anyway, I think that most shows like I'm going to enjoy, but at that time, so any of these I'd be happy to see. Yeah, so the game that I have brought to you is because I thought that we didn't know anything about these. I went to the website and I took the description and then I made a fake description and I'm going to read them both to you and you're going to tell me which one you think.
Speaker 1:I love this game Is the real description. Okay, okay.
Speaker 3:Ready.
Speaker 1:So we're going to start with. John Proctor is the villain.
Speaker 3:This is a play.
Speaker 1:This is a play.
Speaker 3:Okay, I'm ready.
Speaker 1:Okay. So description number one I feel like I'm going to be saying so many words, so let me take a big. Yeah, yeah, get a big inhale, okay. At a high school in a rural town in georgia, an english class is setting the crucible, but the students are more preoccupied with navigating young love, sex, ed and a few school scandals. As they delve into the american classic, the students begin to question the play's perspective and the validity of naming john proctor the show's hero. With deep wells of passion and biting humor, kimberly bellflower's john proctor is the what it gave it away.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, that's the one.
Speaker 1:Dang it. Sorry, good thing I did three more. Okay, okay, dang it. Why did I do that?
Speaker 3:It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 1:But this sounds so good.
Speaker 3:The fake one.
Speaker 1:No, like the whole show. Well, both of them.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:John Proctor must die On to the next. Okay, the show is.
Speaker 1:John Proctor must die onto the next, okay, the. The show is dead outlaw. You do not know this, correct, correct? Okay? Dead outlaw is a gritty historical drama that follows the fallout after a notorious gunslinger is gunned down in broad daylight and his body becomes a macabre tourist attraction set in a lawless frontier town where, hungry for fame and fortune, fortune, the play gosh, I can't speak. The play explores how truth gets twisted when legacy becomes a commodity. As journalists, family members and opportunists converge, the question shifts from who killed the outlaw to who really owns his story. It's a tale of morality, myth-making and the price of a good headline. Okay, description number two dead outlaw is the darkly hilarious and widely inventive musical about the bizarre true story of outlaw turned corpse, turned celebrity, elmer McCurdy. As Elmer's body finds even more outlandish adventures in death than it could have ever hoped for in life, the show explores fame, failure and the meaning or utter meaninglessness of legacy. Dying is no reason to stop living life to its fullest.
Speaker 3:I think.
Speaker 1:description two that is the real one.
Speaker 3:Fun, that sounds fun, I would love to see that it does sound fun Okay.
Speaker 1:Next Operation Mincemeat. This is a musical.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay. Operation Mincemeat is a fast ppaced spy thriller set in the Cold War. People who definitely lied on their resumes Packed with mistaken identities, high stakes, blunders and musical numbers that probably weren't approved. It's espionage like you've never seen it. Description number two it's 1943 and the Allied forces are on the ropes. Luckily they've got a trick up their sleeve. Well, not up their sleeve per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse. Equal parts farce, the thriller and caper. This new musical tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of world war two.
Speaker 1:Description to that is true.
Speaker 3:That sounds fun Also. Yeah, it does See the name makes me, yeah, be like what is this about?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah, okay, next show maybe happy ending musical this is musical, yes, okay.
Speaker 1:Inside a one-room apartment in the heart of soul, oliver lives a happy, happily quiet life, listening to jazz records and caring for his favorite plant. But what else is there to do when you're a helper bot three, a robot that has long been retired and considered obsolete? When his fellow helper bot neighbor, claire, asks to borrow his charger, what starts as an awkward encounter leads to a unique friendship, surprising adventure and maybe even love. Number two maybe happy ending follows a recently widowed jazz musician who inherits his grandfather's dusty apartment and stumbles upon a box of forgotten cassette tapes labeled only with the initials and dates. As he listens to each one, he uncovers a decades longlong secret romance and begins to reflect on the relationships he sabotaged in his own life. Blending nostalgia, humor and heartache, the play explores how he can carry other people's stories and whether it's ever too late to rewrite our own.
Speaker 3:Well, that's beautiful. I hope it's number two.
Speaker 1:It's not, it's number one.
Speaker 3:Well, I would like number two to be made into a musical it does sound nice.
Speaker 1:This one, uh, is the one that stars darren chris oh, okay, cute and now that I was reading these, then ads are popping up for him and it's like he is. He is a robot and it's weird and I am interested okay, how does he move? Like a robot, I believe. I believe, I think, yeah, okay, which?
Speaker 3:it would be hard to do. Yeah, okay, cute.
Speaker 1:Okay. Last we have Buena Vista Social Club Okay, which I also think this is a musical. It is, yeah. Buena Vista Social Club is a vibrant ensemble piece set in 1950s Havana, centering around a group of aging musicians who reunite to save their beloved neighborhood club from being torn down. As they rehearse one of their last performance, memories resurface, tensions flare and old rhythms find new life. With a backdrop of political change and personal redemption, the play is a soulful celebration of music's power to preserve identity, community and hope. One song at a time. Number two two step into the heart of Cuba, beyond the glitz of the Tropicana, to a place where blazing trumpets and sizzling guitars set the dance floor on fire. Inspired by true events, this new musical tells the story of the legends who lived it, and a world-class Afro-Cuban band is joined by a sensational cast in this unforgettable tale of survival, second chances and the extraordinary power of music.
Speaker 3:I'm going to say two again.
Speaker 1:That is true, that was the real one. Cute, they all sound great.
Speaker 3:They all sound great. Yeah, I would love maybe we'll watch the Tonys this year.
Speaker 1:Maybe we will.
Speaker 3:And then cause they're all going to probably perform Do they do plays. Yeah.
Speaker 1:On the Tonys, do they?
Speaker 3:do like act out a scene? I don't think so.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, all of those I would like to see, and if I lived in New York I would go see them.
Speaker 3:Love that.
Speaker 1:But yeah, I thought that was a little fun way to learn about them, since we didn't know You're right, okay, okay, sorry, I have to switch places. Okay, we have a speak pipe. We haven't had one in a while keep it up well, we haven't. We have another submission. I guess we just did others, but this is on speakpipecom. Hello, take me there. Oh wait. I'm muted Okay.
Speaker 4:Hey, this is Victoria. Again. I have something I'd like some advice on. Actually, I thought maybe y'all would be the right people to ask about this, because I know y'all go to gyms and workout classes a lot.
Speaker 4:I haven't been to a gym or to a workout class where other people are there since before COVID. I've done everything at home yes, the fitness marshal, thank you and I'm actually more active now, but I do everything at home where I go for walks or with a friend. I'm not going to a gym where people see me, and so I'm feeling a lot of insecurity about going to a workout class where other people can see me or watching me. My body has changed a good bit since before COVID. I have a larger body now. I don't look like your typical Pilates yoga girly, I guess, but I want to try the Pilates class where they have the machines. I think it looks so fun and a really good workout.
Speaker 4:But all the videos I see, or the pictures I see of these gyms, all the girls they don't look like me and, yeah, I'm feeling insecure and I thought maybe y'all could give me some like tips on trying to psych myself up or like what to ask when I go to these gyms or what to look for so that I can find the right fit. Sorry, this is so long. Thank you so much. Love y'all Bye.
Speaker 3:Thanks, Victoria.
Speaker 1:Yeah, thank you so much.
Speaker 3:Okay, it's interesting because I've been dealing with that, oh really you know, yeah, I have extreme gym intimidation. Yeah, now different. I think. First of all, good for you for wanting to do reformer pilates.
Speaker 1:That intimidates him oh yeah, I've never.
Speaker 1:I've never done either, because I I like I'm scared to go, because it will have been my first time and they will have to tell me how to use it and I feel like, especially here, like the pilates girlies are pretentious and they're like and that might be generalization on my part, but like people who are that is their thing, like they don't want to be slowed down by someone in the class needing extra help, which I'm sure places probably have like an intro class you can go to Like. Even I signed up for um bar, pure pure bar, and I had to go to a 30 minute class before I was even allowed to sign up, where they showed you how they do everything. So they probably would do that Sorry.
Speaker 3:No, I was just gonna say like I get the whole being intimidated thing. I have hated going to the gym for so many years for that exact reason. I only recently found a gym that I don't feel intimidated to go to when it comes to classes.
Speaker 3:Before I got into boxing, I would never step foot into a class because I was same thing you were saying, victoria, it's just like I'm not fit in the same way, like going into a class where it's you know there's at least a good number of the people in there have been doing it already and you're like, oh, is it very intimidating the way that I would suggest getting around that? A I went with a friend.
Speaker 3:I was like someone who in this case this friend had already done it, so she was like able to talk me through it. But then also just going with someone who hasn't done it is also fun because you're both like they're whatever laughing together to your point about like, specifically like for former pilates, it is such a specific kind of workout. Yeah, I would literally just call them and be like, hey, I've never taken before. Is it okay if I come in a little early to like?
Speaker 1:yeah, or do you have an intro class?
Speaker 3:yeah, because when I at the boxing studio that I take from many times there will be people there early because they don't know what's going on. They're like can? You just show and then, like I would cannot imagine that the people running these places wouldn't immediately be like yeah, we'll show you it's a their job and be like they want you to be comfortable.
Speaker 1:So speaking of this particular subject, pilates, did you see that girl that went viral on tiktok last week? She was this. It was insane. This girl made this video that was like this might be a hot take, and if it, when it starts like that yeah you know it's the hottest take that's ever been like.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's a hot take yeah she was like I think that people, if you're over 200 pounds, you shouldn't be allowed to do pilates and she, just like, goes on this rant about how, if you are not a skinny person like you have no business being in pilates and you shouldn't be there. It's like it's insane, it's long, she is being dead serious and she that is awful.
Speaker 1:So she obviously got like very canceled and dragged and then she made this fake. It wasn't fake, but she made this video apologizing because she obviously was like people really came for her and so many people were like pilates was literally, literally created as a low impact workout for people with mobility issues. Like it's low impact, it is based on your body weight and it is made for that.
Speaker 1:So what are you even talking about? One and two so many people were commenting and they were like this is why, like bigger people, don't go to the gym, because of bitches like you.
Speaker 1:Because we either go to the gym and people are judging being there, or, if you're bigger, they're like you need to go to the gym, like you need to lose weight, and it's like people can't win, like it's so annoying. Yeah, so she obviously got dragged, but it was like things like that, like make people yeah, of course, be victoria. I hope that that me telling you that story does not make you not want to go. Yeah, because, but people, there are people who would be their mind would be, they could have been like, oh, I've always wanted to try pilates, and then they saw a video like that and they're like well, I'm not gonna go, going to go now. This is what people think. So, anyway, that was a side note.
Speaker 1:I couldn't believe my ears and eyes when I heard that, but I guess for me one. I think I might have a little bit of a different perspective because I need a class rather than just going to the gym and working out by myself. So I think I have a little bit of a different mindset. But even going to a new one like is always scary.
Speaker 4:The first time when I went to pure bar.
Speaker 1:I went alone and I was kind of just like keep to myself, whatever, I have gone with other people and it is obviously nice. So that is like a very good suggestion and I think that's probably the number one thing If you have a friend, ask them to go with you. And if that's not possible, then I do think calling ahead, like he said also, but I think trying to shift your mindset, to remind yourself that truly no one everyone is worried about themselves Like we're so narcissistic, worried about themselves.
Speaker 1:Like we're so narcissistic. We're a narcissistic world and not in like a super negative way. It's just like there are other people who are going to that class that are worried about the exact same thing that you're worried about, or they're feeling insecure about something. Or even if they're not feeling insecure, they're just like this is my workout. I'm here for me, like I.
Speaker 1:The one thing I can equate to this is I recently started to going to Pilates over the past couple or not Pilates yoga over the past couple of months, and I had been to a yoga class before, but I've been going more often now Cause I'm trying to get my lower back sorted and I've never been someone who works out and like a workout set like a bra and leggings solely. Like I'm always someone who wants to wear a big t-shirt and just like I don't want to have to worry about my body when I'm at the gym. So like throwing on a t-shirt is easy way to do that, but in yoga, like it's not really conducive for like a big t-shirt because you're upside down, it's like falling off, it's whatever. And then if you do hot yoga, like you're actually dying and that's what happened to me. I went to hot yoga I had a t-shirt on and I intentionally wore like a bra and biker shorts that I was like if I need to take this off like I'll do it but I don't want to.
Speaker 1:Right and I got so hot I was dying and I had to, and I, like, took my shirt off reluctantly, and then I was like, oh, no one's looking at me.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And no one cares. Like we're all just here and everyone has a different body. Like no one looks exactly the same. Obviously there's like stick thin girls there, but like there's a bad apple everywhere. But most people like, even if they're thin, whatever, they're not looking at you, but everyone has a different body, everyone. There's people with big boobs, there's people with like you know, I don't know, I don't. You know what I'm trying to get at. Like everyone is different and everyone has their own things, but also we're all.
Speaker 1:I think as you get older, you're kind of just like bodies are bodies and it's not about that. And I think like just trying to change your mindset I'm a long winded way of me to say I think trying to change your mindset, to be like my body is the least interesting thing about me and I'm going somewhere to better myself for however long the class is like I'm doing, I'm moving my body, whether that's for mental reasons, emotional reasons, physical reasons, and that's the number one thing that matters. And I think if you shift it to that, then then you just like stop worrying about what other people are thinking and you're just like I'm not like really important enough for everyone to really be looking at me and judging me.
Speaker 3:And the first class is just a bandaid. Yeah, just rip it. I think, too, like I do this thing for myself. When I need to cite, when I'm psyching myself out about going to something, I will. I do this thing. That's so weird, but I will look at the clock and, whatever I'll be like 24 hours from now, this thing that I'm scared of doing is going to be done.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like it will be over.
Speaker 3:I used to have a test and stuff. Yeah, I'm literally like in 24 hours, you're going to be doing something totally different. It will be in the past.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Another thing that I suggest that I do for myself, sometimes not in, not in necessarily in reference to like a workout class, but like if I have to go do something that I'm very like anxious or nervous to do, I will give myself a reward. I will say if you complete this, you are allowed to go to the mall and spend $40.
Speaker 1:I love that.
Speaker 3:And I do that, and if I don't go, if I chicken out, no, not doing hard things you got to find out what your reward is. Is it if I go to this Pilates class, if I rip the band and I do this thing that I'm scared to do? I get to, you know.
Speaker 1:Go to the movies. Go to the movies. I will say one more thing that may just like help you and help you find the right place is one I don't know where you live, but ask around, like do you, does anyone in the area like have you been to a pilates studio here? And then ask them like what's the vibe there? Like is it super inclusive? Do you feel like it's hardcore? And maybe you're not ready for that? Yeah, go on the yelp reviews, the google reviews, call them, and honestly, you could be honest and be like look, I'm nervous, it's my first time, like I would really what's the best class to attend?
Speaker 1:yeah, what's the best class to go to? Yeah, I don't know. I feel like asking around and doing a little bit of research so that you at least know going into what you might be getting yourself into, so you don't feel so overwhelmed by the atmosphere when you are in, and, I think, no matter what size you are. I do think this this is so like counterproductive to anything normally that I am, but I do think that if you do wear something that you feel cute in, totally you, you walk in with a little more pop in your step.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that could be active booty. No, you walk in with a a little, a little bit in your step.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and that could be active booty. No, I'm just kidding, promo code, I'm so just kidding. I'm so just kidding, I'm not. But I will say, like I do Matt Pilates, I haven't done reformer Pilates, I do Matt Pilates and it is.
Speaker 1:It is such a good workout yeah, so I think you will enjoy it. Yeah, victoria again.
Speaker 3:I'm not done reformer, but pilates yeah, what a workout I haven't either, maybe we should go together reformer. Yeah, okay, my gym does offer it I can get a day pass you could get a day pass and they let you take classes. You know what? Victoria, you go and we'll go let us know and we will go. Thank you for yeah, thank you so much. Okay, do you have?
Speaker 1:an a-list of the week. Do you have an A-list of the week?
Speaker 3:I do have an A-list of the week, guys. My A-list of the week is Cedar Point, america's Rock and Roller Coast. So, as you guys know, I love a roller coaster, I love a theme park, I'm a coaster kid, I'm a ride warrior, I'm a thrill seeker, I'm all of those things. And right now I'm at Cedar Point. Right now, right now, I'm at Cedar Point. What's the best thing to eat there? Oh, my God, you go to Cedar Point. They have three. Okay, okay, okay. First of all, they have two dessert items that you cannot leave Cedar Point without. One is an elephant ear.
Speaker 1:Ah, very Midwest.
Speaker 3:Very Midwest, but there's nothing like a Cedar Point elephant ear. It's perfectly crisp, it's perfectly doughy, it is the exact ratio you want for an elephant ear. Second thing is their frozen custard.
Speaker 4:No, one knows where it's from.
Speaker 3:It is a cedar point recipe. It's a different. It's not. It is different than any frozen custard you'll ever have. It is the best frozen custard yeah cheese on a stick, which a lot of theme parks have, but not like cedar points on a stick. It's deep fried cheese a big mozzarella stick it's deep fried cheese. No, no, no.
Speaker 1:A cheese curd.
Speaker 3:Yeah, more like a cheese curd. I guess it's like a corn dog, but it's a cheese stick.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's giving Korean hot dog that they stole. Okay, but Cedar Point's been around since before Korea. No, I'm just kidding, that sounds good.
Speaker 3:It is good, but of course they have a lot of good food there, a lot of good restaurants, but you do not leave without having those three things.
Speaker 1:Okay, can you bring it back?
Speaker 3:No, I won't keep, but I will absolutely have them. I mean, last year we shared all those things because they're big and a lot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but man Sharing an elephant ear at the state fair or like the county fair is like peak.
Speaker 3:Never done it, but I have done it at Cedar Point.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:So, guys, I don't know if you can get yourselves to Sandusky, ohio and have a time there on Lake Erie, at Cedar Point, but if you can, you will not regret it. It is honestly that just a great time. Yeah, I believe I'm 35 sometimes.
Speaker 1:That's pretty crazy the way I talk about Cedar.
Speaker 3:Point. Well. And I will be writing Siren's Curse. I'm scared. And Steel, vengeance and Maverick and Millennium Force. It's America's rollercoaster, you guys, the most rollercoasters of any theme park in the world.
Speaker 1:Speaking of food. This is not my AOS of the week, but while I'm in Indiana, I hope that I have gotten Superman ice cream.
Speaker 3:Here we go.
Speaker 1:There's nothing like it.
Speaker 3:There's nothing like it, because the Superman ice cream that you remember doesn't exist.
Speaker 1:That's not true. Doesn't it exist there?
Speaker 3:No, we determined that it doesn't right.
Speaker 1:I just think you can't get it anywhere but here, oh you can't get it there.
Speaker 3:You can't get it anywhere, but here, oh, you can't get it there, you can't get it here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like it's not Soul's National Superman ice cream. Here is just vanilla, it's not the same yeah.
Speaker 3:It's just vanilla colored vanilla ice cream yes. Superman ice cream in Marion Indiana.
Speaker 1:It's like fruity Correct, but it's a fruit that you can't explain. It's so good. If anyone is from an area that has had Superman ice cream, please tell me. So my A-list of the week is something that I saw someone tell me to do on TikTok.
Speaker 3:Oh God, jump off a bridge.
Speaker 1:And I started doing it.
Speaker 3:Oh.
Speaker 1:And it's actually great. And this is probably like not new to anyone but when you get out of the shower and you put your lotion on, if you just mix a little perfume oil into your lotion, wow, you smell great. Is this something you've done?
Speaker 3:Wow, you smell great. No, no, I've never done it.
Speaker 1:Well.
Speaker 3:What's a perfume oil?
Speaker 1:So you know, like the roller one that you have, or the one that, like the one that you gave me, yeah, yeah, yeah, so that, but in perfume, but not a roller, just like in a like pot that you would like.
Speaker 3:The one you gave me is in a squirter, like that Could be that. Yes, yes.
Speaker 1:The one I got is the one from Ulta that everyone has the umbrella there, cause I'm almost out of the one, that I the one that we both have, so we now have the same. Yes, you have the roller, though, too, right?
Speaker 3:I have both yeah.
Speaker 1:So at Ulta they sell it in like a little jar.
Speaker 3:They do.
Speaker 1:So with that, if you just like, put a little on your palm and then you put, squirt the lotion and then put it on your legs, your arms, whatever. It smells delicious.
Speaker 3:I bet it permeates. Yeah, that's delicious.
Speaker 1:So that is a great hack and I've been smelling great.
Speaker 3:I love that.

Speaker 2:We're going to try not to peek here and talk a little something.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we realized the first clip was a little loud. We were a little excited in the car. So, guys, excited we've made it into disneyland.
Speaker 2:We're currently he's doing his thing.
Speaker 3:We've told you about where I booked the lighting lane hell yeah, oh, would you get it too? I got it 20 minutes earlier. We're up to 140. Nope, wasn't fast enough.
Speaker 1:Anyway, allison has pre-ordered us some chocolate chip cookies and with the hazelnut whip thing that you can dip it in.
Speaker 3:Sure didn't know that. That's news to me.
Speaker 1:Yes, it is pretty chilly it is we put our sweatshirts on. Yeah, but it will warm up a little bit. I had my eye on a sweatshirt I saw on the Disneyland website.
Speaker 2:It's.
Speaker 1:Lightning McQueen. Oh right right, it's Lightning McQueen themed, racing themed, and I don't have anything like that. And I have a gift card from two years ago for my birthday From mom right that my mom sent me that I kept forgetting to bring here. Yeah, and today I finally remembered.
Speaker 3:And I have my eye on a sweatshirt that Megan the Magical Millennial barely posted about. Just a quick flash of the back of it and it looks cool. It's a black sweatshirt.
Speaker 2:Another black sweatshirt. You need to diversify.
Speaker 3:This is the 2024. I can't diversify. I can't, I don't know who I think I am the 2024 I can't diversify.
Speaker 1:I can't, but I don't know who I am, who I think I am, you're you're trying, I am trying that new comfort set that you're saying a new color and tan. Well, the thing is is josh wears is like wears a lot of colorful things, and we first started dating he was like you wear all black and I was like, yeah, but it's, you know, I feel like Josh is always in black.
Speaker 2:He has colorful shoes.
Speaker 1:He has colorful shoes but he does like a colorful outfit, and so I have tried to incorporate. I'm never going to not be wearing all black mostly, but every once in a while, I throw in something colorful, for you know a little pizzazz, so I am looking for something different this time.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Okay, and I'm looking for the exact same Also. Just to recap our sports corner, Allison has completed dodgeball.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, we lost in the first round of the playoff. It was a tough game. I was actually pretty hard on myself you know, oh, I didn't play as well as I wanted to. We were playing the number three seed and we were the number eight seed.
Speaker 2:It was tough.
Speaker 3:Do you remember the score?
Speaker 2:I think it was five or six to two. We won two games.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 3:You were saying it wasn't a shutout.
Speaker 1:It was one of the games we won. It was down to two of our women players against one male player on the other team and they crushed it and I was like, yes, girl power, you better work.
Speaker 3:Love that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I am still in my regular season of dodgeball. You guys and we we won four to two. It was very close game and I did it with only 12 players like I had, so, and my team is 18 that's how many people dropped out.
Speaker 2:He's such a coach, like he was telling me, his in the huddle, like he was telling everyone I was kind of getting aggressive. I was getting a little aggressive um, it is, oh I got I got a little self-conscious because people looked at us I'm still never, I will never be comfortable comfortable doing it with someone it is yes but when I try to vlog in public, regularly it is.
Speaker 1:I would pull it away a little bit. Sorry, it is um always nerve-wracking and I'll never get over it.
Speaker 3:And it's funny too that, like when we do the podcast, we're usually looking at each other, but in this we're looking directly at the camera.
Speaker 2:So I'm looking at you.
Speaker 3:Also um. I've been whitening my teeth.
Speaker 2:Nice. So brand, shout them out.
Speaker 3:Crest 3d white. Um, I do. I do it twice a year oh, okay are you too sensitive? So I do it four days on, two days off, and yes, because right now my gums hurt.
Speaker 1:But I have a whitening solution that goes in my invisalign tray and I just wear it overnight but it does make are you still doing? Invisalign. No, I just have my retainer right, right, the retainer, yeah. I forget a lot of the days and then I remember and it sure is tight, but then it still fits. So I know I'm good. Yeah, I'll wear it for a few nights and then I'll be like take a few off.
Speaker 3:I think that yeah, that's fine, thank you, I am another life.
Speaker 2:I think you might have been a dentist.
Speaker 1:I don't know why you give dentists energy really is that mean it's not meant to be mean here we are talking about our past lives again I feel like you could have been a dentist um because you're you know, a dentist needs to be nice and caring, but also meticulous and um detail oriented, and I think you have those qualities and I think that you people will be comforted if you were those qualities and I think that you people will be comforted if you were their dentist and they'd be like man, I have a hot dentist.
Speaker 3:You know, I could see that, but also I need braces again.
Speaker 1:Well, as someone who has had braces and Invisalign, I get it.
Speaker 3:Inbrace did reach out to do a collab, but I don't think I want Inbrace, I think I and Invisalign I get it. Inbrace did reach out to do a collab, but I don't think I want Inbrace, I think I want Invisalign. Cause like Inbrace for those that don't know is the braces behind your teeth.
Speaker 2:Oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 3:On the backs of your teeth. It is quicker than Invisalign, but I just don't know, like as a gay, man who gives God. As someone who needs his mouth.
Speaker 2:Don't we all?
Speaker 3:For a lot of things I don't know that I could handle, like the way that that would make me sound different.
Speaker 1:You would have a lisp, and then you would just be.
Speaker 3:Which is when I had braces, when I was 18.
Speaker 1:Oh 18.
Speaker 3:I'm in sixth grade I had them in fourth grade, and then I had them in after I graduated high school.
Speaker 2:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3:Because my parents bless them didn't want me to come out to California, which was my. I knew I was going to move out here when I was 18, but I didn't move out here until I was 20. They were like, well, let's get your teeth fixed before you go. How nice, I'd just been in a movie and my teeth really bothered me Bringing up. Bobby, bringing up Bobby, and they were like well, we'll get your teeth fixed while you're still on our insurance.
Speaker 3:It's like thank you that's really nice of them, and then I forgot to wear my retainers for the last four years and I got that this gap going, guys I think that would be very.
Speaker 1:The reason I did it last year was my teeth were not that bad, but I did have a little bit of movement, yeah, and I was like I need to do it now so it goes faster rather than if I let it go longer and then do it.
Speaker 3:Right, no, that tracks.
Speaker 1:So it only took me what like nine months, eight months yeah that was pretty fast, like Emily, I think, is still doing it.
Speaker 3:She's been doing it for like two years.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 3:Romero's was like a year and a half.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:When I got the Invisalign scan to see it was like going to be 4k, it's fine, I think it's just always. They were like it's going to be a year and they would have to shave down multiple teeth. I was like, no, I don't want my teeth shaved, just easy. You want some light? Hi, we have a little friend anyway.
Speaker 2:Well, maybe you need to go to different um dentists. Well, I, do.
Speaker 3:I have new insurance starting may 1st, so I gotta find a new dentist because I mean mine's available. He's the dentist to the influencer stars to the jojo siwa. Speaking of jojo siwa, did you see she's come out as queer by no, no, she came out as queer. She thought she was a lesbian and then she said, being on big brother celebrity, she realized she's not a fles, she's queer but but not by her pen.
Speaker 1:What not to be ignorant?
Speaker 3:can you explain this to me. I think in her definition of it she means like because she had that like she's not defining herself. She's not defining herself because she felt some emotion, some feelings towards that dude.
Speaker 2:Yeah, wait, is she gone? Is it over? I? Don't know if it's over, but this is what she posted okay, she can't post her mom is posting for her maybe she came out as queer on the show and maybe jessa jessa, jesse, jessa jessa her mom um, let me see, I'm gonna check while allison talks yes, she um.
Speaker 1:Before she went, she posted on tiktok and she was like this is my last post that I'm posting.
Speaker 3:From now on, my mom will be posting for me, but there will still be content coming out, so Jojo Siwa came out as queer in a recent episode of Celebrity Big Brother. Uk saying she no longer identifies as a lesbian.
Speaker 1:So she did it on air normalize changing your mind you know, life, not just sexuality, but life is a spectrum and you can always change your mind on whatever.
Speaker 2:You heard it here first, folks on the A but life is a spectrum, yeah, and you can always change your mind on whatever You're first folks on the A-list.
Speaker 3:Life is a spectrum.
Speaker 1:Imagine we're the first people to ever say that.
Speaker 3:Coined.
Speaker 1:We're not. But some people forget that if you say one thing, you have to be that forever. And she's still young. I know she just turned 21, right Is?
Speaker 2:there a McDonald's in here? There, and she's still young, I know she. She just turned 21, right? Is there a mcdonald's in here? There's not a mcdonald's in here, they probably just brought it in right, let's have a bag of mcdonald's.
Speaker 3:I'm jealous is there? No, definitely not no, they definitely brought it in.
Speaker 1:I guess you can bring it in which is kind of weird, I feel like that's something they wouldn't allow the pirate ship's going by and I've never been on the pirate ship.
Speaker 2:Should we do it?
Speaker 3:maybe we've done. Have you done the other one?
Speaker 2:yeah, we did it together oh yeah, you got seasick, didn't you?

Speaker 3:We moved locations Well kind of, you can't really tell at this angle. I jumped to a different seat so that if a boat goes by we can show you and we have the cookies.
Speaker 1:We have the cookies and first of all, before we get into this, I want to say the amount of people that will stand in the line that they don't have to stand in for no reason. Instead of just pre-ordering on their phone? Do they not know that they can, that there's an app.
Speaker 1:I understand if you're coming here for the first time, if you're like just visiting in town, you're like, oh, let's go to disneyland you might not know that there's an app, but I feel like there's signs the app is the only way to like utilize lightning lane your tickets I feel like there's signs that they're do you think some of it could be like people that are like I want a break from my effing family.
Speaker 3:I'm going to wait in this line. Like her in the back with the ears, she's probably like no I hate everyone.
Speaker 1:No, I know, it's just like it's a long line and you can mobile, order and sit somewhere and wait, rather than standing in the line line in a way I don't understand it, but whatever, okay, so here we have the hazelnut spread hazelnut is like what nutella yeah?

Someone I saw online was like oh, if you need to sit down in a more secluded spot, maybe if you're doing, if you're working, say we'll come here and bring their laptop and work. This is a nice spot to sit. And so then I discovered it and I was like what a good spot. But I feel like you don't see it if you're not looking for it.
Speaker 2:So yeah, the more you know, the more you know. Cute people are staring at us again who cares? I know I'm I'm not good at it.
Speaker 3:I don't care at all, and if they're thinking anything negative it's just because they're jealous what happened?
Speaker 2:I almost dropped it?
Speaker 3:How many do they give you? Is it six, six? We get to have three each.
Speaker 2:Noelle Allison. I had two, did they short?
Speaker 3:us. This is your second one right?
Speaker 2:No, this is my first one.
Speaker 3:Oh, you're still on your first one. Yeah, I'm a monster. We're going to finish these cookies and we'll be back in a bit, yep.
Speaker 2:Bye.
Speaker 3:What's up? What's up, guys?
Speaker 1:you get a real visual of the height difference between me and Allison OOTD now.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, let's do it. So I'm in my 2024 Disney hoodie. I'm also wearing a Mickey Mouse crop and shorts. I have on a skirt cute and a sweatshirt tucked in and my base bag oh yeah, I don't have my base today because I'm I'm theme park papa, so I always bring a backpack yeah, which is actually really nice so so far we have we just we did haunted Mansion and the Train.
Speaker 2:The Train was fun. It was Because I got to see the dinosaurs that I've never got to see before.
Speaker 3:Yes, so I was telling Allison that the Train is cool because it has the original animatronics from the World's Fair, where Walt Disney put the first animatronics, which were dinosaurs.
Speaker 2:Was that 1969?
Speaker 3:No, no, he died in 1960.
Speaker 2:1950, something it was in the 50s?
Speaker 3:Yeah, the World's Fair in Chicago hey, sir. So obviously we're set up in the public. So if you're watching this, there's people around us but they can't hear what we're saying because we have microphones.
Speaker 2:Yeah, thank God I imagine. Hey guys, Welcome to my lab.
Speaker 3:We are about to go on Big Thunder Mountain.
Speaker 1:Alex still doesn't know where anything is in the park.
Speaker 3:Not a clue. She's literally asking us how many years have we had these passes, and the answer is three years. I think it might be longer than that 2021. March of 2022. Three years 2022 yeah, three years yeah, three years, um, and you know what? That's okay, I'm never gonna know, but because my brain is my capacity for knowing how to get around, a theme park is being completely used up by six flags I mean that's fair.
Speaker 1:But at some point it's like you just like have some sort of what's it called with cats like know how to get back to their house.
Speaker 3:Cats, isn't it any animal?
Speaker 1:I thought it was cats. Object permanence.
Speaker 3:Oh, I have none of that, really, I have none of that.
Speaker 2:You would be like oh, I've been here before, I know where to go yeah, no, not me, I could never. Yeah. Oh wait you said we didn't have a mansion. We um guessed how many times it would stop. Yeah, and you guessed two. I guess one, just to have like an opposition.
Speaker 3:It was three. It was three. These dark rides tend to like stop a lot.
Speaker 1:Not all the dark rides, the ones that are on tracks like little mermaid and haunt the mansion yeah yeah we're gonna try to get into the blue bayou, which is really hard if you guys are not um disney enthusiasts the blue bayou is like the hardest restaurant to get into. It's inside of Pirates of the Caribbean and it's very vibey and cute and cool. I've never been, alex has been. I went.
Speaker 3:One time Karina and I went on Valentine's Day Just chants stand by, and they were like it'll be 45 minutes and I was like, well, let's wait. And we actually got it in 20 minutes. Yeah, we're going to try to do that.
Speaker 2:And if not, it's okay, but that's all. We'll see Anything else. What were we going to say?

Okay, wow guys, tell melly we are waiting for the blue bayou. We got in said what 20? To 30, no 30 to 40, but could be sooner which is what happened to me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for just the two of us.
Speaker 2:It is very exciting and there is a nice seating area that we're in, which is exciting.
Speaker 3:I'm going to give a little quick yes.

Speaker 1:We can. And if you guys have never been on the, Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, caribbean, caribbean, caribbean. I feel like I say Caribbean when I'm like oh we're traveling to the Caribbean. We're on a cruise to the Caribbean, but if I'm talking about the movie, it's pirates of the Caribbean. And that's just what it is. Yes, but inside the ride that you drive, you float by on your boat and there is like this very beautiful scene and it's like the stars in the sky and they're shooting stars and it's like very cute and pretty, cute and pretty pretty and um. You can see the people dining.

Speaker 1:We happened upon a production of the Lion King. That was incredible.
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 1:I've told everyone I've ever met since then.
Speaker 2:Wow, but it's no longer happening. We were just trying to kill some time because we had Lightning Lane to the opening of Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railroad.
Speaker 3:Iconic, but we had to wait a little bit. So we were like what the hell's over here? I guess we'll check it out. And it was just the most life-changing performance.
Speaker 2:It was so good. All the vocalists were incredible, so update.
Speaker 3:We went to the Blue Bayou.
Speaker 1:We were going to film, but it was so dark in there that you literally couldn't see us but we shared a monte cristo and a fig and prosciutto salad, both delish, had a couple we got we got. Each got the same. We had the same drink because there's only two to choose from.
Speaker 2:It was a iced tea with like rum and a peach iced tea with rum. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't my favorite thing I've ever had. I feel like it needed um more depth of flavor agreed.
Speaker 3:I will say, though I was glad I was happy to to like discover that it wasn't super sweet, which does tend to happen here yeah like when we go to pims.
Speaker 2:It's like sometimes we are cursed we do have an espresso martini that I might need.
Speaker 3:Oh wait, that's because I might need an adventure. Yeah, an espresso martini, yes, at pims I might need a pic, yeah, an espresso martini.
Speaker 2:Yes, at Pim's.
Speaker 3:I might need to get the what's that cold brew I love over there. Isn't that here the one with the cocoa puffs?
Speaker 2:That's at Star Wars, that's here. You got to get it before we go.
Speaker 3:Well, that's okay, maybe I'll also get an espresso martini Anyway.
Speaker 2:What else, what else, what else. We went on.
Speaker 3:Roger Rabbit. We ran to Roger Rabbit.
Speaker 1:We were one minute late to our lightning lane, but it still worked, so life hack.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I think they might give you a five-minute grace before and five minutes after you can sign in, or you can scan in five minutes before your time and also you can scan in five minutes after, I believe.
Speaker 3:And I used my magical powers and got us Literally right now we can get on Matterhorn.
Speaker 2:Yeah, before we go. Do you have any more? Not go for the day, just go for this segment. Do you have any more Disney fags that you've learned from Behind the Attraction?
Speaker 3:Yeah Well, first I will say, like, if you guys haven't watched Behind the Attraction on Disney+, it is just like a very good feel good show that gives you some insider things at disney. Yeah, even if, like like I, you guys know I'm on the dating apps oh, we went, we were going through his uh tender one person. Everyone else doesn't know one of my photos is me with my mickey ears when I had shorter hair, because it's one of my favorite pictures of myself, if I do say so myself cute, yeah, so.
Speaker 3:I didn't think about it, but a lot of guys are like, oh so you're a Disney gay in a derogatory way.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah. What does that mean?
Speaker 3:I mean a Disney adult is a Disney gay is like a Disney adult, but it's like gay on top of it, which is get even gayer yeah um, but the thing is like I don't identify as that I do love disney, but we're like we come what four or five times a year yeah, that's a lot first of all, second of all, you identify as a theme park I am a theme park gay and I will wear that badge proudly, but so I do as much as I know.
Speaker 3:I'm not like slit my wrist for disney. Do you know what I mean to? Put it quite graphically, that's a bad name so slit my wrist for disney. So I will say, though I love disney plus, because disney plus brings me shows like behind the attraction. I just watched the new. Have you seen the new dot? No, you definitely haven't. They just released a documentary docu-series, season two of elm industrial, light and magic ilm. Sorry, industrial light magic is. Who did star wars? Oh, it's george lucas's special effects company.

Speaker 3:There's way more attractions to talk about, I know, and it's like they're made so well and they've only done two seasons of it and it's been two years since the last season. I'm like, come on, guys, it was two years ago. It was two years ago and I Googled it because I started watching it again just because it's a feel-good show and they have not announced whether or not they're going to do a season three.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because they also talk about Disneyland Paris and Disneyland Tokyo and Disneyland Sea and all those. So there's lots of things to do. I feel like we've told them to watch it before.
Speaker 3:Yeah, sorry, it's just we're here, so you're getting it, you're getting it. In pop culture news stuff that's going on that refers that Wow, did you just have a stroke. Let me try that again. In pop culture news Katy Perry has a new game out. Have you seen this?

Speaker 1:Do you guys know about the go away green? I'm sorry the go away green I don't even know about that, that's in order for them to hide the things that they don't want you to notice, they paint them green and the shade is called go away green.
Speaker 3:I'm pretty sure, I'm 90 sure a lot of that is going on in here yeah.
Speaker 1:So it's like um, they want to hide, like buildings and stuff that hold some of the rides.
Speaker 3:Um go away green.
Speaker 2:That's clever, and they want you to see the facade in the front, but then they don't want you to really notice like the back of the building they painted this shade of green that um is called go away green.

Speaker 1:Yeah, I might be hungry before I wouldn't say that I'm hungry it's just like when you're here it's like you want to try new things. You're not wrong, but anyway. Anyway, I feel like we're fading. Yeah, we are, but um, I hope that whatever we have, you guys have enjoyed yeah we will have a sign, we'll have a sign off, we'll maybe have some ending thoughts and maybe we'll come to you with another fact before we leave you know, maybe no, we will.
Speaker 2:Oh, I'm declaring you're making declaration of disneyland that maybe you and I don't know, maybe the listeners don't know, and we'll leave you with that so you and I don't know it, but we're gonna tell them I'm gonna look it up. Oh, got it. Okay, I'm gonna find one, and up I'm going to find one.
Speaker 3:And then I'm going to tell.
Speaker 2:Alright, till then I can show you the world. Not great Well, as you can see, we're back in the car.
Speaker 3:To quote one of my favorite movies. Well, we're back in the car again.
Speaker 2:What movie is that? Bring it Bobby Jurassic Park.
Speaker 3:One of my favorite movies is not.
Speaker 1:This is exciting TBH. My feet hurt, my knees hurt and the way that it's just like they're aching you know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm sore, you're fine. I'm sore for reasons other than Disney, but we got our steps in we did what was your final? Did you look up a fact that you said you were going to tell everyone? I'm going to right now so I don't know how to tell you. How do you tell your final facts or final steps? Can you do it on your watch? Yeah, click on the fitness well, it's so hard to touch this thing, okay and then click your rings whoa, whoa, whoa girl.
Speaker 1:10 hours of standing there 11 614 and minus 13 938, and you know why.
Speaker 3:You can tell them while I look at the fact so we just determined that for every one step I take it's one and a half steps. Well, almost two full steps for ally. So I've been taking long strides, and that is why, yeah, it was a successful day. The sweatshirt that I was looking for has not dropped yet.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:You became so excited. I found a fact.
Speaker 1:It's an interesting tidbit. I suppose the oldest thing in Disneyland is the petrified tree Belong, believed to be between 55 and 70 million years old. It's located in frontier land near the rivers of america. While the tree is a geological marvel, it's worth noting that the plaque about its origin has inaccurate information. Oh, what is that inaccurate? I?
Speaker 3:definitely have seen this tree. We have seen this tree oh pause.
Speaker 1:Oh, this is a youtube video.
Speaker 3:You guys, I don't know no, there's a petrified tree, in case you didn't know yeah, I have seen it. We have seen it. It's pretty crazy. What makes something petrified? It's caught on fire, it's been flash frozen. I sound like an idiot.
Speaker 1:I don't know, but when I was in like 6th grade, my science teacher, mr Gonzer, he had petrified poop that he would show every year and show, and then he would be like it's.
Speaker 3:I think it is turns into rock, like maybe it's encased, I don't know he's gonna look that my hands are kind of chilly so it's hard to type something becomes, becomes petrified through the process called mineralization, where the original organic material is replaced by minerals, often silica. This typically happens when an organism like a tree is buried in sediment and exposed to groundwater containing dissolved minerals. The minerals gradually fill the pores in spaces, but the original material within the original material, and eventually the organic material, is replaced with rock-like structures. So yeah, it becomes almost like a rock yeah so buried your science professor.
Speaker 3:There was some buried poop that became petrified and he was like fun yeah, another fact is that disneyland was almost built in burbank, california probably near the burbank studios yeah, would have been way more convenient for us truly. That would have been great although I wonder if that would have affected, like the like economic structure of the valley probably yeah big time actually the park is built on 160 acres of orange grove.
Speaker 1:Maybe that's why there's so many oranges. They sell it's gotta be, it's a nod they feel bad for tearing down all the trees I also wonder why they don't have sound stages here, like universal has sound stages at their theme park. You know, yeah, let's get one more, and then I'll be done. Walt's brother purchased the first admission ticket.
Speaker 3:Oh Roy.
Speaker 1:And it was $1. A mere bargain compared to today's prices, charging more than $ hundred more than 200 well, there you go also you it should.
Speaker 3:If you guys just saw that cloaked human cross behind us, it's because it's star wars night and the fans are here decked out. They bought their lightsaber swords honestly that cape is kind of dope yeah, they.
Speaker 1:We didn't go to star wars land at all today, but they do have some cool cloaks and is that?
Speaker 3:what it's called robe, robe, it's a robe. They've also got delicious treats over there.
Speaker 1:Oh, the rontola's wrap would have been good well, we'll be back on a day that we're unsure of right well, I'm sure she's unsure. Well, um, we hope that you have enjoyed this. On location podcast, uh, it's something we tried and we thought would be fun and if you like it, let us know. Maybe we can do other on location podcasts yes um and until then stay classy and sassy and I don't know what else to add to that. Love you so much. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
