SPEAKER_02

I'm back.

SPEAKER_01

You sound like a 1920s gangster a little bit.

SPEAKER_00

Doesn't he? He does. Oh, yeah. You just pointed out all of me, see? I'm the penguin.

SPEAKER_01

I was gonna say it's the penguin. Danny DeVito, you're here.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. You know, in the 60s Batman, when the guy who played the Joker was like Caesar Milan? I don't know. Yeah. Caesar Salad. Caesar Salad.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, Caesar Salad who refused to shave his mustache. Stop! That was my story. I'm sorry. No, I'm not talking about you. No.

SPEAKER_03

No. I didn't say anything, Mish. I'll tell your story. No, I'm not. I don't wanna. You can't make me.

SPEAKER_01

Who signed off on me being an adult? Who was like past? I don't know. I don't know who signed off on me being a manager of people. Like, I mean, I know exactly who did it, but you know.

SPEAKER_03

You're like, actually, I know him. Uh he's my papa. But not the point.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

See, I manage donuts in New Rochelle.

SPEAKER_01

And New Rochelle, um, but she flies out every day to see me.

SPEAKER_03

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01

On her private airplane.

SPEAKER_03

Yes, which is which um don't be mad at me because of a private jet. My jet does not run on gasoline, it runs on the tears of dinosaurs. So there.

SPEAKER_01

And mine runs on the um dreams made of marshmallows. Back to Captain Kacao.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, I was gonna do bring it to question 30 rock. I was like, and mine runs on our unrealized hopes and dreams. Just kidding. It runs on Elliot Spitzer's prostitute. That's the joke, right?

SPEAKER_01

Isn't it the joke's like uh the it's a seat, and he's like, Yeah, this chair is left empty for our hopes and dreams.

SPEAKER_03

I'm just killing, kidding, Elliot Spitzer's prostitute couldn't make it or something. Shall we get to um the land? Yes, I'm less mad at you.

SPEAKER_01

But was it just the story about how he refused to shave his mustache?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, and then they painted it over, and people in the 60s were like, authenticity. So it's just like this man with the little mustache, and they painted it white, and people were like, Good job, great job. I like it's I'm such a hypocrite because on the one hand, I watch Red Letter Media Rip Apart Star Wars. Like, it is my they're my comfort videos. I fall asleep to them. I listen to them at work. I love listening to to Jay and Rich and Mike like complain about movies. But I also hate movie complaints because then companies now overcorrect and they're like, we're gonna explain away absolutely everything in these live action Disney movies. Like, like, why didn't Prince Eric just remember what Ariel looked like? It's like, well, she was, he was like, he was coming out of something, and also like she was backlit, but also it's a fair. I don't know if you know this, but mermaids don't exist. Like it's a fairy tale. I know. Breaking news, breaking news, but then in the live action, they're like, and this spell is gonna make you a human, take away your voice, it's gonna give you, it's full of B12, so it's gonna give you energy. Also, it has lots of vitamin C, so you're not gonna get sick, and you are going to have a memory issue. Okay, what? Okay, now we're fixing too many plot holes. Same thing with Beauty and the Beast. It's like, well, uh, cinema sins, uh, Belgrade for acknowledged that she's talking to fabric. And it's like, okay, so now she's like, I'm talking to a candle. First of all, that's so rude. Never would I be like, hi, Jasmine, I'm talking to a Persian American. Like, why would you just come out with someone in this? It's a talking candle. She's just like bored the whole time.

SPEAKER_01

I could, I could literally go on a whole rant. So, how to train your dragon. So the land is set between the second and third films. Oh, I didn't know. Yeah, so um, so you know, there's the movie How to Train Your Dragon. I've only seen the first one, um, which I didn't watch until Michelle and Dell made me see it.

SPEAKER_03

Here's the thing. No, here's the thing about Jasmine. I want to be very clear. I love Jasmine very, very much. She's one of my best friends in the whole wide world. I I love her, my husband loves her, my parents love her. Like she has taught me beautiful life lessons. She's one of the best people I've ever known. But oh my God, this girl will not watch a modern movie. I want to slap her so often. I make her watch things so that she's part of like the cultural zeitgeist. And she always enjoys what I show her. But like getting her to watch something is like let uh it's like uh skinning a cat, I don't know, people get offended, beating a horse. Now I'm just saying all the offensive things. It's like doing something very difficult, like getting a marble through a straw. I just made that up. So this is what happened with K-pop demon hunters. We were in Vegas. I was like, you need to watch this movie. It is like the thing, but don't be on your phone. Like you actually have to pay attention. I want to be on my phone. I can't believe y'all are making me do this. Bop, bop, bop, pop, bop, bop. I talk like an old-fashioned lady. And then she watched it, and then she was like, Oh, that was so good. I'm like, Yes, I know. And then she's like, Oh my god, I'm so glad you made me watch that because now I can talk to my my niece, and I'm part of the cultural zeitgeist. I understand that reference, right? So then I'm like, why don't you watch like Zootopia 2? Or even, or even if the movies that she watched were like, okay, well, I've seen all the movies related to like theme park things, right? But she's like, no, I'm gonna go watch 1936's Frankenstein 2. Frankenstein goes to the mall. Like, she was like, I'm gonna watch the most obscure movie and be like, you know, Michelle, I was watching this movie. It had Jason, not Jason Bateman, who's the boy you love from election. Oh, Jason Schwartzman. Has Jason Schwartzman in it. And election rushmore. Yes. It has sorry, it's uh I was watching this movie. Four people have seen it. It's in black and white, it has Jason Schwartzman in it. It's so good. It's like Jasmine, that's not that's not what's happening. There's no ride based off of that. It is not popular. She's like, it's my favorite movie. I'm going to name my cat Little Spitzel after the main character. And I'm like, okay.

SPEAKER_01

She's pegged me. That is exactly what has happened. I named my cat after Margot Tettenbaum, um, because I love the royal Tettenbaums. These are OR scrubs.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, are they? That's true. I once watched that movie to get a boy to like me. Back to work.

SPEAKER_01

And scene.

SPEAKER_03

Woo.

SPEAKER_01

Um, so it is the largest of the four lands in the park. I didn't know that either. Yes. Um, fun facts. I look at them up. Like Universal shares a lot of fun facts on their website, which I thought was pretty cool. I like that you're like, I did research. I prepared for this podcast, and I'm like, that's cool. I had caffeine. But you're the fun one, and I'm the one who just says things.

SPEAKER_03

Translation. I am the smart prepared one, and you're also here. You have personality. I'm the personality hire.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Okay. I swear we'll get to Burke one day. Uh, you know, it was a good land. It was our favorite land overall. Even though we spent so much time there. So much time. I hadn't even seen the movie till after we went to the parks, and I love that land. That was still my favorite land.

SPEAKER_03

And I think that that speaks volumes to the land itself. Like, for example, Pandora, not the bracelets, the land. Like, I like the food, and I like Shabu Shabu. I like Shaman, Shaman Riverboat. The shaman of songs. Yeah. Shaman, Misa Shaman, Shaman.

SPEAKER_01

The big 12-foot-tall animatronic. Yeah, but like, where am I getting at this?

SPEAKER_03

I don't know. I don't really like the land. I'm like, I don't understand. I don't understand.

SPEAKER_01

There's some lands where like the enjoyment comes out of you being a fan of the IP. And then there's some lands where that's a thing, but more, it's actually the land itself. Yeah. So this is one that you I think um if you enjoy the IP, this is gonna be the best thing ever. Even if you don't enjoy the IP, it's one of the best theme lands I've ever been to. You're gonna appreciate the theming, everything.

SPEAKER_03

Because everyone likes dragons. Like it's even if you don't know anything about the the IP I'm just reiterating what you said, but I'm gonna do it anyway. Like a white man and take credit for it. Um even if you don't know the IP, everyone loves a dragon. And so you can just be like, oh cool. This is a land with dragons. So and so drag me to it. Isle Burke. That's what the tagline should be. Isle Burke, dragons dragging me to around. Hosted by Rue Paul. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_01

Uh so when you walk into the land, it is very impressive looking. Uh, there is a large mountain in the back with um, I'm gonna assume that's probably something to do like that tall skinny thing. What would you call that? But why are you starting at the back? The first thing. Okay, so we're starting from I was saying the things that caught me visually. Okay, so let's start. Right when you want to go, I like that I'm like, stop talking you're talking wrong.

SPEAKER_03

Talk the way I want that I didn't communicate with you. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, America. America. Thank you, America, for listening. Thank you. And all the ships at night.

SPEAKER_01

All cats are great. That's a different thing.

SPEAKER_03

All cats are all cats. Oh no, cats don't dance. That's what I was thinking of. Never mind. Cats don't dance. Or cats, yeah, that's is it cats don't dance or cats do dance? Cats don't dance, but all dogs go to heaven. This has been 12 minutes of me making Jasmine giggle by being very random.

SPEAKER_01

Literally, we're at minute 12, and I can't edit it now because it has to be at minute 12. But it can be anywhere with Okay, I'm sorry, I'm done.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

So you walk in, there's can I start with a large body of water? No. Oh, am I do I start with the things that don't breathe fire until nighttime? No. Okay, Michelle, what do you want to start with? You start with the portal and what it says. Oh, okay. So you walk in through the portal, it's kind of a tannish color, and it says, we, my friend, have dot dot dot dragons. Um, would you care to say that as We my friend dot dot dot have dragons.

SPEAKER_00

She.

SPEAKER_01

And I was very fascinated in the trailer. I think they took two different lines and like cut them together. I don't know. But um he just the way he says it is very uh interesting. So you walk in and then there's a little flying dragon on the portal. So actually there's like a rune, like a large stone with writing on it that I did not stop to read, but I'm assuming it's describing the land, the story, the land trees and the company.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I think it's like similar to oh, and at the sorry, going back to the portal, around the portal, there are like the the types of dragons that are in the book. Uh the book, yes, and the movie. Like the Night Fury, the Gronkle, the Tomfoolery, I forgot. The Mr. T, the Jumba Juice, and then the rune. And I think the rune says basically like other places have mice or whatever, we have dragons. I think. I think that's what it says. But then, okay, now you could talk about the the fiery things.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. So on the left and right are two very large, probably like I'm not good at sizes. Would you say 20 feet tall would be fair? Yeah, tw three stories. Three stores, 3,500 feet. Um, it's these two, was it dragons? It was Vikings, right? And they have fire in their mouths, but only at night.

SPEAKER_03

And when it's not too windy.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it was a little windy, and uh, you know, it was cold, god forbid. You know, it hit like 45 degrees and everything had to shut down. Yeah. The whole park was like, no. No, you don't, Oprah. So those are so that that's in front of a very blue, very lush looking body of water, like and very inviting. Um, then you had like the village of Burke all around you. All the buildings obviously were themed. Then in the very back, there was a skinny mountain with a tiny house on top. I believe we seen the first movie. I think that's where Hiccup lives. Okay.

SPEAKER_03

And because his dad is the chief.

SPEAKER_01

I hate his dad so how we know.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, we Jasmine was working through some childhood trauma while we were in watching How to Train Your Dragon. So he went to the land. We ended up going to a different theme park in Orlando, and while we were there, Dale bought all the how to train your dragons on Amazon.com. And I'm like, Jasmine, just watch it. Just watch it. Taped her eyes open, tied her to the bed, and was like, watch this movie. And the whole time she was like, I hate the dad. And it's like, yeah, he's like no better or worse than like King Triton or like or like Jafar. I don't know. He wasn't a dad. Oh, he wasn't a dad, he was a daddy, but no, he was not. These are jokes. He was a twink. He's so flamboyant, so just like, I will marry Princess Jasmine. And I was like, ooh, will you? Okay. Sure, Jan.

SPEAKER_01

So, okay, let's go um to the left. Okay, so we were walking in. Um, I forget what's the first thing. I think it's just generic theming. No, it's the playplace. Oh, the playplace. Okay. So you go a little bit further. It's a playplace. We did not go in the playplace, but we walked past it. Um, I was worried I was gonna get stuck Winnie the Pooh style on one of the slides.

SPEAKER_03

Apparently, like the most beautiful view of Burke is on the second floor of the playplace. I've come to find, I guess we have to go back.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, universally, you need to invite us back. Yeah. We're available. Put us in the rooms that we were in before. But Michelle's slightly closer to the elevator.

SPEAKER_03

So we don't have to take a donkey, a boat, a bus, a horse, and a skateboard to my room because that's how far away it was. It's the skateboard part that really killed me. That was like, you know, I'm too old for that. I was like, I'm fine with all these other modes of transportation, but a skateboard? Well, what?

SPEAKER_01

So you and then, you know, that's all themed. Then you walk past, and I might be skipping some like shops and stalls that I don't remember. Then you have the um the wing, not okay. Then you have, we'll talk more in detail, the Dragon Racers Rally, which is the one that like flies and you wait in line for like 45 minutes for literally a one-minute ride. Then in the very back is the hiccup's wing glider, the best ride ever made. The best ride ever.

SPEAKER_03

The gr greater than the like what is it? The hole is greater than the sum of its parts. Because if you took anything out of it, it wouldn't be as good. But altogether, my heart is racing with joy thinking about it. Like that's that's a memorable theme park experience that I have not had. I have not had this experience in so long.

SPEAKER_01

It's been 82 years. It was 88 miles per hour. Then you have the like the mead hall. You have the food place that's in the movie. Um, then you have, and we'll get we'll describe these in more detail. We're just giving you a little um visual. Then you have that shop that Dale spent a lot of time in. Yeah, that's what it's called. Yeah. Yeah. And then you have, and I think it's how to treat your dragon. Yes. Then you yes. Then you have the water ride that um was really interesting, but we didn't get to enjoy fully because it was a water ride and it was very cold.

SPEAKER_03

And it was called, I want to say Tim and Tam. That's not it.

SPEAKER_01

It's um Fire Drill.

SPEAKER_03

Fire drill. It's the twins fire drill. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01

Well, according to Universal, it's just called Fire Drill, but with a Y, so it's fancy. Oh yeah. Fire Drill. Um then you have um the man with the mustache and the long blonde hair and the really intense eyebrows, his shop, his um, and then his dragon, the the the boxmith. Um, and then to the left, you have the show the untrainable dragon, you have the theater, you have the hiccup meet and greet and the toothless meet and greet, you have the main restaurant, or not the main restaurant, one of the quick service food places, and then you have the snow dragon. I'm assuming it's a snow dragon, yeah. Animatronic. Um, so yeah, let's talk about each one of these. But now that we've given you a visual, please also look at some pictures and see if we are correct.

SPEAKER_03

So the ride is or the ride, the land is like uh a frying pan. So the it's like a circle, and then there's a little stick that goes out, you know, like a frying pan.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, actually, I am like all the lands, either like they go straight in a blind and dead end, or they go in a circle, or um, in the case of the Harry Potter one that T-shapes, which that one feels the dumbest layout, but also I think they're supposed to have another ride, but you know, that's neither that's in a previous episode. Um, all layouts are valid.

SPEAKER_03

All theme park layouts are valid except DCA.

SPEAKER_01

Um, so first let's talk about the rides. So Dragon Racers Rally is a Skyfly model flat ride. Flat ride just means like it's a traditional, like it exists. They didn't custom, they didn't come up with a ride system. Riders are seated individually and have the ability to induce twists and turns while attached to a rotating pendulum arm. Okay. So this ride you wait in line for a really long time because the load time like you they can only let on like what 20 people at a time. And there's no um like fast pass.

SPEAKER_03

I think it holds it holds 12 people per side. So 24 people, but it takes like a minute. So each each group of 12, it's like a minute to get to your spot and then do safety check, and then a minute of flying, and then a minute to disembark. So that's like four minutes.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and then the next five, it took a while. Yeah. So you had to put your your um bag in a little cubby.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, not a locker this time. And if you know what to do, you can get it to barrel roll. And so I spent a whole minute throwing my body weight trying to get it to barrel roll. And of course, I wanted to barrel roll so badly, and it didn't happen. And Jasmine's like, I sure hope I don't barrel roll. So naturally, she barrel rolled.

SPEAKER_01

I really like I was trying to so hard not to move. I didn't, they're like, wow, you know, make your wings go. I didn't barrel roll, but I went a lot more side to side than I cared to do for someone who was not moving at all. I'm so jealous. And then, but I did see I never saw anyone barrel roll when we were in line. I did see someone get close to it though. Like they were fully wing pointed down to the ground. It was um wicked hard. Wicked had. Um, there was a lot of people who I've watched their videos who said you literally have to start the second it starts going up doing the bear. And it's like it takes a lot of work and you'll barely get any barrel roll time. So it's tricky there, it's possible, but it's tricky. So if you do it, you are better than other people.

SPEAKER_03

If you can do it, you win. You win Burke.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they're just like, here you go. And then hiccup's like, hey, you're my wife now. You're like, what?

SPEAKER_03

You're like, I'm a 45-year-old man.

SPEAKER_01

Like, well, sorry, I don't make the rolls. You know how it is in the movie. Yeah. Um, yeah, that ride, I mean, it was fun. It just like had too long of a line and like wasn't worth more than like 20 minutes just because of the shortness, but it was a fun ride. Yeah. And it was well, it was themed cool. Like for a ride that's like a basic flat ride, like it was they did the good job theming it. Yeah. And there's a lot of sheep, like they show the awards the different villagers have won in line, and there was like a stack of sheep, and I think it's Rough Nut and Tough Nut won the sheep stacking contest.

SPEAKER_03

You remember their names. I did.

SPEAKER_01

What do you get from before? The the blacksmith is gobber. Gobber, yes, gobber. I'm like the gentleman with the intense eyebrows, and he's Scott, because all the adults in Burke are Scottish, and I so I guess when you're a kid, you're not Scottish, and then when you grow up, you become Scottish.

SPEAKER_03

It's puberty.

SPEAKER_01

It's puberty. Puberty hits differently. Like, are there any adult characters who are not Scottish? I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't know. I haven't seen the third one in a really long time. Uh we just rewatched the first and second one. I've watched the first I like the first one a lot because I like a good origin story.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. I I like the first one, but you know, I haven't seen any of this.

SPEAKER_03

You liked parts of the first one.

SPEAKER_01

I did like parts of the driver. Yep, I literally was gonna say any part that didn't have the dad, perfect. Great. Any part where um Hick our Toothless was happy, great, perfect. Anytime someone tried to hurt him, I wanted to kill them in a very violent way. You do not hurt Toothless. He looks like a cat.

SPEAKER_03

He's based on a cat. He also uh yeah, all the dragons are based on cats. And uh Chris Sanders that you might know. Cousin of the Colonel. Cousin of Colonel Sanders, that is correct. Uh he was so he worked at Disney for a very long time. He was the voice of and creator of Lilo and he was the voice of and creator of Stitch in from Lilo and Stitch. He just came back. He was here's Lilo, beautiful Hawaiian little girl. Uh he just came back to voice Stitch for the live action, which I have not seen. Um and my nephews love it. Really? So my niece love it. Love it. But yes, continue. I love the original so much. Yeah. I've been burned by Beauty and the Beast and Little Mermaid. I'm I'm done.

SPEAKER_01

I'm done. I've been burned by all the live actions. Except Cinderella with Lily James. Yeah. And I, you know, that's the one that's the most different. So take with that what you will. So good.

SPEAKER_03

Um I was just gonna say, so anyway, the reason I bring up Chris Sanders is he worked on the movie uh a lot too, and he also worked on Beauty and the Beast.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, thank you. Um so the next ride is Fire Drill, which is the water ride. So this one is a bunch of boats that go around in a circle and you stand the whole time. You can't you can sit, but it's it's just easier to stand. Like I'm just not used to like rides being like walk around, like we don't care. Um, you shoot at little um goals. It's all very like you know, themed with like clearly some, I think it's like rough nut and toughness painted it. Um, and you hit certain goals and certain things happen. So like if you hit just the fire symbol, just it's nothing happens. But if you hit like anything with an X, a water thing shoots at you. So we went on when it was really cold. So I was like, Michelle, do not shoot the X.

SPEAKER_03

And you're shooting it with water. Yes, with water. So you have like a little water gun. Think of it kind of like Toy Story Mania, but instead of like pulling the the cord, you like have a little knob that you turn on to like engage the water so the water will hit the targets, and then depending on which target something may or may not happen.

SPEAKER_01

So you know what like carnivals when you do those games where you shoot the water into the tiny hole and like a boat races, it's like that. Yeah. But larger and cooler and wetter. Yes. So um it's an interactive boat ride where riders situated on both sides of the vehicle shoot water cannons up to 28 feet at various targets that react with sound, movement, and water effects. They said 29 feet too much. Yeah, too much. Only 28. Yes, exactly. Um, 30 feet. What are you crazy? Woo! 25 feet? No. Um, so that ride was cool. I will admit, you went on it a second time with Dale. I did not do it that time.

SPEAKER_04

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Um, I will say the first time I went on, we did definitely did not experience the full ride because I was terrified of water dumping on me. Well, we definitely experienced more.

SPEAKER_03

So when I went with Jasmine, it was a little bit warm. No, a lot of bit warmer. Because I was still in shorts, just like shorts and a sweatshirt. But the set when I went with Dale, it was wicked cold, and so many more effects were off. Uh, have mercy because like the cannons at the end, they were on for us, but they were off for Dale.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, like at the end, just like a cannon just explodes in water. So it's like, oh, you thought you got out of this. Just kidding. Um, so but I imagine like in the hot summer, it's the best, most refreshing, refreshing ride. That's gonna be great. Fantastic. Someone go on it in the summer and let me know. Uh, so now one of the best rides ever, Hiccup's Wing Gliders, which is an intamin family launch coaster that takes riders through a how to train your dragon-themed lagoon featuring an animatronic version of Toothless and Hiccup from the franchise. Oh man. Yes. So you get on the little cars. So this is another one you have to put your bag in a locker. Um it's a normal ride, so I don't get why you have to. Maybe it's just because there's not a lot of room in the car, but you know. Um, if you can sit in the front, it is worth the wait.

SPEAKER_03

Universal got a real discount on those lockers, and they were like, ooh, spit them everywhere.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah, people will like it. I don't want to carry the stuff, it's great. Yeah. So all the cars like have a carved dragon on the front, and like the um doors and everything are look like it's been carved by the gentleman with the the one eyebrow. Gobber? Yes.

SPEAKER_03

Just say scrotum. That's not his name that you know of. That's his baptismal name. Well, because like all of uh hiccup goes into it that they believed to give the the kids terrible names to scare off like trolls or whatever. So I was like, you know, gobber, scrotum, toothless, what? Poop poop face.

SPEAKER_01

Uh so then you go around a corner, and then you know, it's like a traditional, normal, like like a big thunder level roller coaster. Just it's just thrilling, it's not scary. Um, you hear um hiccup talking like, oh, we're gonna try this is it like training dragons. I think it's supposed to be like he made this ride so you could experience what it's like to ride a dragon, and he's like, he's training you on how to train your dragon.

SPEAKER_03

Yes. Because he has all his sketches in the in the queue.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, and he's an inventor.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um we got it. Uh so the first part you go, it's um it's outside, and then to the left there is a hiccup animatronic who I think is like turning a crank. Um, and then on the right is a toothless in his little um gear. His rider. Like his harness.

SPEAKER_03

It looks like BDSM gear, but yeah, it was his harness. Like I said, his harness. Um, why did they have to make it red? I so that it was contrast.

SPEAKER_01

So he has a little button, and then so they're saying something, and then Toothless pushes the button and it makes the coolest sound. It's like doom. Um, and then you shoot up, um, like you have a fast launch up a hill, and then you're flying. You're flying. Oh, it's so cool.

SPEAKER_03

And like turn, like the banks are cool, you go like right near the water, and during the day there's like a mist, a wall of mist. You go under the bridge, you go around the side of Burke.

SPEAKER_01

There's a stack of sheep that you go around, because I guess they like to stack sheep in Burke.

SPEAKER_03

No, they use the sheep as like uh it's more like in the second one, like they use the sheep as the part of the game. It might be in the TV show too, which I started watching too. I've fallen down, I've fallen down two rabbit holes recently, How to Train Your Dragon and Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. You know, Nurse Jackie. That was right before vacation. And I I said, Jasmine, have you seen Nurse Jackie? And she said, I saw it once, and I said, Watch it again.

SPEAKER_01

I saw it when it's on, and it was a long time ago, so it is time to rewatch it. And that Edie Falco can act her face off. She's so good. Like so good. Oh my gosh. Like she just like is translucent to her acting. She's uh brilliant. National treasure. Um, so then you hit a second point where there's the little funky looking baby dragons. Gronkles. Gronkles. And um they're at night, it's really cool because they glow up and they're they're hatching, and I guess that's bad. You don't want them to hatch. So then you go up, you hear um Hiccup being like, oh no, gronkles, ah, and then you go you go up a hill a little bit, but then you go back down. And then so the gronkles are starting to hatch, but then when you go back down, they have hatched and they are emerging from their shells, and then all of a sudden you launch really fast, and then you do the rest of the ride. Um, you go throughout all the land, you go over the water, and it's just like it feels I I don't know what it's like to ride a dragon, but I imagine it feels like this.

SPEAKER_03

And even I think especially at night in the cold, in the dark. I mean, and the music, the thing is that it's playing the famous, like, it it like my heart just exploded. It was so, so great. Like what it was so um like so amazing having excellent music. The la last time I felt like this was the night track at Disneyland. The first time I kind of heard the night track, which actually was composed by the same guy who did the Incredibles. So a little trivia there.

SPEAKER_01

You came here for trivia, you found it. You came here for movies from the 70s, you found it. Um, so yeah, you go like you do mostly like twists and turns and bankings, nothing. Nothing upside down, nothing upside down, nothing too fast. I feel like it probably doesn't go a mile over 40, it's probably closer to 35. Um, it's definitely not thrilling. It's exciting and fun, but I wouldn't say it's like there's no scary points, there's no like free fall, your stomach feels like it's dropping points. It's not start uh Millennium Stardust Express. No, yeah, Stardust Express. Yeah, you're not like even the launches are pretty gentle. Um, and yeah, this is the second ride that it has the fake, like, we're gonna go up the hill, just kidding, we're going down. And I'm like, you went to the well twice for that one in the same theme park.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Again, that's why I got so confused in Ministry of Magic. I was like, is it broken or is this part of the ride?

SPEAKER_01

Like, I will say this one is more successful than the Curse of the Werewolf one. Now, the Curse of the Werewolf, it's that you you feel the power of becoming a werewolf, but this one it's like, oh no, the the Gronkles are gonna get you. Oh no! Ah shh, and then you go up, so it's more thrilling. Yes.

SPEAKER_03

I'm just laughing at that stupid werewolf ride. Hey guys, welcome to Silver Lake. This is my dog. It's a Shuba Inu. And I painted it black. Wait, why? I don't because I'm cool. Here, look at my look at my vest. Look at all my piercings. Yeah, we're going to a brewery.

SPEAKER_01

Hey ho, let's go. The lady looks like she just came out of um Silver Lake. Like she has a cool vest, cool scarf, like very historically accurate. Um, so back to Berg. So the um, so those are the rides. Uh, there is a very nice show in that land called The Intrainable Dragon.

SPEAKER_03

It is the same show that they have in Beijing, but in English, but in English, it is confusifying because it's breathtaking, awe-inspiring. Also, there are singers. This is not a musical. I want to be very clear. In the second movie, there is a song, but it's not like see the light where the sky meets the sea, it calls. It's not like an I want song. It's literally like well, you have you haven't seen the second one, but like the it's like this is a little song that we sing to each other and it is cute. Badoo, ba doo doo dot. Like, like um like that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Um, oh sorry.

SPEAKER_03

My microphone fell. Oh god, oh god. Uh sorry, I am a hot mess. I I moved my I gesticulated too close to the sun and I knocked over all the things on my table.

SPEAKER_01

I'd like to take the time to apologize because I've more these episodes than any other have hit the table and have made little bumps, and I edit, so I apologize to all of you. We apologize to your future self. Say, dear future beautiful self Jasmine, I apologize. I love Jasmine, I apologize. Yeah, so when we sat down, I was joking, like, oh, this is totally gonna be a musical. Meaning, like, there's no way this is gonna be a musical that's so cheesy and campy, which I love, but I'm like, that's not gonna happen. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. There were two singers who stood, a male and a female presenting singer who I stood on either side of the stage, had nothing to do with the characters or the show, and just saying, like, this is a dragon.

SPEAKER_02

In the sky, there are things unexplained. They have wings. Dragon, dragon, dragon. Gonna hit that note. Gonna raise my fist because I'm dragon.

SPEAKER_01

You to hell. The the finest um actors from the theater department at University of Florida. That's right.

SPEAKER_03

No, look, be very clear. No shade. What an awesome talent. They're very talented and amazing. It's just when I think of how to train your dragon, at no point am I like, musical?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, musical singing about um how to train your dragon. They didn't even sing that. That would have been so great. Okay, so this is a description of the show. So when a new dragon shows up on the Isle of Burke, the Vikings think they may have finally met their match. Hiccup and Toothless, with help from Goober or Gobber, whatever his name is, an Astrid work together to solve the mystery of the unattainable dragon. Is this a metaphor for a woman? Experiences the wonder experience the wonder of dragons on stage and soaring overhead in this spectacular, music-filled, heartwarming live show. Um and I guess they did warm warn us.

SPEAKER_03

We just didn't read.

SPEAKER_01

I just didn't read. Yep. I should have read the the warnings. Toothless, toothless soars above the audience, weighing in at 1,1557 pounds and with a wingspan of nearly 27 feet.

SPEAKER_03

No, I see now I'm glad I didn't read that because then I would have been like, I'm not sitting under that. Nope. Nope. I don't think so. But we did. No, you don't, Oprah.

SPEAKER_01

So you have the show. They have um all the dragons, our puppets, our animatronics, our combo of both. So I can't remember any of the show except like there was a dragon and he was bad. And then they're like, oh, no, no, no, he's bad.

SPEAKER_03

So we're at the rookery where the dragon eggs are, and we're gonna go see the birth of some baby baby dragons are gonna hatch. And then there's a new dragon that comes, which is Dale's favorite dragon that I can't remember the name.

SPEAKER_01

It's um and this is a full-grown dragon.

SPEAKER_03

Yes. And then they're like, Capture that dragon, and hiccup's like, haven't we learned anything? No, that's not how he says it, how he says it, Michelle. Oh, how don't you learn anything? You gotta, I can I can be nice to this dragon. And then he is nice to the dragon, but the dragon's still rude. And then they're like, wait a second, there's an extra egg here. How did oh, it must be that dragon's egg. So they reunite a mum. She's a so then she exactly they reunite the dragon with the eggy, and then they are happy. And they all make out, and they all make out, and then they sing another song, and it goes, We're making out, dragons and me, we're making out. Do you want to see me make out with a dragon?

SPEAKER_01

And that's what the fourth one's about. Hiccup son trying to figure out his feelings.

SPEAKER_03

What are these feelings inside of my heart really bothering me more than a fart? This feeling I have for a dragon inside. I don't want to be alone.

SPEAKER_05

I don't wanna hide my feelings for dragons dragging me through the air, the sea, and space. Dragons, let's go! We can win the race.

SPEAKER_01

Of my heart. Um, so in the show, there is an animatronic toothless that flies over the audience and it's huge. And the actor hiccup rides on the dragon. Um, and then there's the uh the puppet, big blue dragon, and then at the and then throughout the movie, like it fights the Vikings, and the Vikings get like blown off, and it's really cool special effects, and the act the stun actors are amazing. And they incorporate screens in the back, so the screens and the puppets and the people all really interact well together. Um, definitely recommend seeing the show. Very good show.

SPEAKER_03

I concur.

SPEAKER_01

Uh, ladies and gentlemen of the house, uh, I concur.

SPEAKER_03

Uh I what is it? I defer my time, I reclaim my time and surrender it to Jasmine. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you. So we did talk about the Viking training camp. Um we didn't experience it personally because Michelle's like, let's go. And I'm like, no, I'm really worried I'm gonna get Winnie the Pood on one of the Oh, the playplace. The playplace, yeah. Um, it just it was cool. It was a cool, like the structure was just a typical play place, but it was really cool and well themed. Um, and uh apparently there's great views from up there that we need to experience next time. So yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Uh what about the entertainment?

SPEAKER_01

Aside from the show. How did you know that the next category was characters?

SPEAKER_03

It's like it was either that or food. It was one or the other.

SPEAKER_01

And I tend to stick to a certain pattern. My pattern recognizer. So the first meet and greet, and I would dare to say the best meet and greet in the land, probably the second best meet and greet. It's probably the best meet and greet in the whole park, but it's not Igor. But in terms of like the setup, it is the best meet and greet.

SPEAKER_03

Igor, who I adore. Igor, you're never a snore. Igor! Igor, please don't ignore my heart. I'm gonna write a song, an ode to Igor, and record it, and we're gonna um just send it to the people at Universal Creative. You're gonna be like, hey, Universal Creative. What do you need? A theme song for Igor. Please put this in the correct hands.

SPEAKER_01

You know what to do. Wink, wink. Um, so the character, so there's the hiccup in toothless meet and greet. Now, the toothless is an animatronic that I so I hadn't seen the movies, but I was like, I just want to see this animatronic up close. So um, when we were in line, so at certain points it can be different people, but toothless is always there. So when we first got in line, it was Astrid and Stormfly. Yeah. Her dragon were um, and Stormfly, that's a puppeted one. There's a a person in it, maybe two people, I don't know. Um, so she was the first meet and greet, and then they had Toothless and a Viking villager who was also with them. And I think anytime they just have the villager, they'll have like a bonus dragon. Like, sorry, hiccup's not here, but here's another dragon. Carl.

unknown

Carl.

SPEAKER_01

Astrid and her dragon, Carl.

SPEAKER_03

Hello. I'm I'm Carl, and I have two allergies.

SPEAKER_01

So you go up, uh, you wait in line. Of course, Michelle made friends with all the people online to the point where they were like, um, toothless and hiccup were just waiting for us. Keep going.

SPEAKER_03

I have to go get more Diet Coke.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, she has to go get more Diet Coke. Okay, I will describe this commentary free from Michelle. So you're in line, you go up to the front, um, there's various hiccups. Um, they talk like Jay Barishau, which is really funny to me that they all have to do with that accent. Um, I that sounded like Igor, I'm sorry. Um, and then you have the toothless, and the toothless is adorable. And I heard that when you touch it, like you can feel it, like it feels like it's breathing, and I concur. When you put your hand on it, it did feel so like you have to do a whole thing. And I just copied Michelle and Dale on how you touch the dragon.

SPEAKER_03

And then he was like, It's a big thing in the movie. Yes. So now that so she like as established, she hadn't seen the movie. Yes. Um, but yeah, you put out your hand to the dragon. Turn away, you have to turn away. It's kind of like um buckbeak.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Um, so I just copied you and Dale, and then um Jay Barishal was like, Wow, you guys know how to you are professional dragon trainers. I'm like, don't say that because of my age, number one. Number two. What? How is that related to your age? I can, it's just everything's related to my age now. Oh and then number two, I just copied you guys, and then I um thought he was extending his hand out to shake my hand, and he wasn't, and I shook his hand, and I'm still embarrassed about that to this day every time I think about it. And then I'm like, Jasmine, you're almost 40, and this was a kid, he's not gonna remember you. You're never gonna see him again, you're never gonna see any of those people again. And they didn't even care at the moment, but it haunts me to this day.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Jasmine like texts me at 2 a.m. Like, do you think he's still thinking about it? I don't. Are you sure?

SPEAKER_01

Because I'm still thinking about it. Like, it wasn't like I grabbed him and kissed him or anything. I shook his hand, which he did shake our hands initially when we went, if I remember correctly. I don't remember.

SPEAKER_03

All I remember is that we were making our dreams come. I'm very singy today. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_01

We're I feel like we're very entertaining. So, um, and apparently I stood a little too far back and they were like, oh, please stand. He didn't say it, but the one of the attendants said it, like, please stand in front of the ears, because I guess something doesn't work if you go behind the ears.

SPEAKER_03

We have uh there's a bunch of rules. You can't in the movie um uh J. Barishal, no, hiccup like rubs um toothless's or that realizes the side of the dragon if you rub it, it's kind of like not their kill switch, but like makes them relax. So they tell you you can only touch in between toothless's eyes. Don't touch his chin, don't touch his jaw, don't touch his ears, don't go behind his ears. I think that was it. I heard it a bunch of times. So that when we went up to the front, it was like, no, I got it. It. I'm 40.

SPEAKER_01

I understand. He was precious, toothless, looked into my soul and was like, I see all your pain and I heal it.

SPEAKER_03

He literally was a ketamine treatment.

unknown

He was.

SPEAKER_03

He was an Ivy of ketamine in dragon form.

SPEAKER_01

But yeah, I just like, I'm a new person after beating Toothless. And then we went and we bought the pick, it was such a fun experience. You actually bought some photos from the Meet and Greet, and I talked to the person who checked us out about when I say checked us out, I mean like help, you know, you bought the thing from Oh no, checked us out. Checked us out. It was a probably 19-year-old kid who I had a Taylor Swift sweater, and then we just started talking about Taylor Swift. So it was great.

SPEAKER_03

But my mama told me all right. Is my favorite music video of hers because it had I think I said that last time. But I just want to reiterate, it has a friggin' Weasley, and my favorite Weasley, who is a not one, but two theme park attractions in Orlando.

SPEAKER_01

Oh God, Bill. There are two two people I can think of who are in a ride both at Universal and at Disney. Chris Pratt and Kevin Sorbo. And Kevin Sorbo and um Bill Weasley. What's his name? Uh Don Donhell Gleason. Don not Donhall? Not Donhall. Donald Gleason. Don Hall. It's Irish.

SPEAKER_03

Irish first name Gleason.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Jackie Gleason? That's what it is. Yes, it is. If anyone knows someone who can make those jumpsuits at the end of that music video for Michelle and the case, we will pay you so much money. Yes, so much money. Like name your price. So then there are some walk-around characters in Burke. That was not a good transition, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, here's wait, side note. Did you know that Olympian, the quad god Ilya, I can't remember his last name, he loves hiccup.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I don't know who that is.

SPEAKER_03

NBC I know who hiccup is, but NBC Universal Kmart uh did a collaborative commercial with him where he does the thing where he puts out his Ilya me. It starts with an M. I can't remember.

SPEAKER_01

Is it the little blonde kid? Yes. Okay. The quad guy. Like 22, but I'm like, this is a child I could have had at like the age of 20. Yeah. Um, so there's Rough Nut and Toughnut who walk around, and in the movie, they did not sound like this, but walking around the park, they're like, Whoa, dude, yeah, this is my brother. I'm so much cooler than my brother. I don't know why they're talking like Valley Girl Ninja Turtles, like not Valley Girl, but like, why are they talking? But maybe in other movies they talk like that, but it didn't feel like that in the first movie. But anyway, all the characters do that. It was really cool. Um, then the last Meet and Girl. So, what did you think of Roughnut and Toughnut? I was commenting on their accents. I don't remember them having those in the movies, but No, they kind of talked like this in the movie.

SPEAKER_03

And they kind of talked like this in the park.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Whatever. So what their whole thing was like, we're great looking. Yeah, it was consistent. Like every time I saw someone, it was the characters were consistent. Um, like all the actors were consistent. It's um they had cool outfits. They like to talk about how like they're the best, but they don't like each other, you know, like how twins do. Um, and then the last character is Gobber. Yeah. Okay. Um, so they have his blacksmithing hut and they have his dragon, which is an animatronic that occasionally breathes fire, and it has these weird growths on it, which I didn't like, um, on its chin.

SPEAKER_03

He's dragon gross. He's going through puberty.

SPEAKER_01

He's becoming Scottish. Leave him alone. Um, and so we talked to him for a while. The actor has amazing, like, he has a uh lace front eyebrows, lace front beard. Um, and he was so one we talked to was very yes and, and then another one we talked to was just like, I'm gonna talk at you. And I was like, I don't know the movie, so I'm just gonna sit here and enjoy what you're saying. That's a really great observation.

SPEAKER_03

Yes, absolutely. Nothing wrong, yeah, nothing wrong either. Uh I prefer a yes andy character interaction, but whatever.

SPEAKER_01

But I I imagine a lot of people don't, and like they just want to experience, they want to have passive entertainment more. So I'm like, that's fantastic, probably for the majority of people. But you see Michelle and I walk up, like, you better be ready to spar verbally.

SPEAKER_03

We will have a verbal tennis match.

SPEAKER_01

Which will end with us just going boom. Okay. Uh so now let's go to the food and shops. Uh so there's meat hall, which is like the main food place. Um, and that's based on the movie. I remember that being in the movie. So you go and you sit down and you scan the thing on the table, and then they bring you your food. Um, that was like, what did they have there? We got like a dessert.

SPEAKER_03

You guys got a dessert. I was hungry, so I got sausage.

SPEAKER_01

It was very good. I got a giant soda because we had gone somewhere earlier that day that didn't have a soda machine, and so I bought a giant soda. I remember that. It was refreshing and delightful.

SPEAKER_03

It was so easy to order, and yeah, I love I uh this is gonna sound so basic, but I love being in places from the movies.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, that's so like like cosplaying in real life, like I don't know, or like LARPing, like I don't know what you'd call it, but it's like being in Westworld, like you're experiencing things the characters would experience.

SPEAKER_03

Yes. Like uh we went to I've been to the Snuggly Duckling in Shanghai and Tokyo.

SPEAKER_01

And this I've been to the Tokyo one.

SPEAKER_03

The Shanghai one isn't as good. It's like I saw the best one. You did.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, good.

SPEAKER_03

And Ashley Taylor's art is in there, and Ashley Taylor and I used to work together. Oh we are still friends. Oh, that's good.

SPEAKER_01

And you're like, and now we hate each other.

SPEAKER_03

And now she's my mortal enemy.

SPEAKER_01

She knows what she did. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Don't ask me, Ashley, the nicest person. Like, okay, I won't.

SPEAKER_01

So next to us, Michelle made friends with a table full of um, I'm gonna say universal adults. Youths. Um, you know, adults but younger than us, probably. Um not like it's hard. Yeah, not like it's a very easy to be. Um, the guy was eating something and he offered to share with you. The salmon was so nice. The salmon. I thought that was really nice.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. And I was like, oh, I was really tempted, but I I really had, I really like sausage. Like my favorite thing to eat at Universal. Oh, it's so good is bangers and mash. Bangers and mash with a buttered beer and good conversation.

SPEAKER_01

She loves a sausage. And I will not make jokes about that because this is a family-friendly project.

SPEAKER_03

And I will walk away from that statement.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you. So then, and it was cool. It had like like it had like the lighting was very um, like had an orangey, fiery tint. So the next place is Spitfire Grill. Anytime you see the word fire, it's spelled with a Y, like how British people spell tire. Um, and that was the one that has the famous mac and cheese in the bread cone. Yes. I have feelings about that. Yes, tell me your feelings, Michelle.

SPEAKER_03

Thank you for inviting me to say my feelings. I understand why there's goldfish on top because the dragons eat fish. I was really excited to down some carbs. I was like, gimme dat mac and cheese. So then, like, the cone is a little bit of uh fishy on top, uh less mac and cheese than you would think, and then a whole bunch of fishes. I do not want goldfish. I could go to Costco and for$9 get a giant, like two-pound vat of goldfish. That is not what I want. I want mac and cheese. I know what you're gonna say. Michelle, for$9, you get a giant vat of mac and cheese. Well, I didn't think of it like that. I wanted mac and cheese.

SPEAKER_01

So, you know, there's that. The bread cone was like a pretzley bread cone, and it was dry and it wasn't very good. So, this is the thing people go nuts over. It was so popular, they brought it to Universal in Hollywood. I don't get it. Maybe someone can share with me why it's yeah, maybe we got bad ones. Like maybe the ratio of fishies to mac and cheese was off. So I also forgot to mention near this restaurant there are some animatronic baby dragons eating fish, and that was really cute. Oh my god, they're so cute! Yes. It was precious. They're really cat.

SPEAKER_03

There's like dragons around uh around every corner. We like when you come out of um fire drill, spelled with a Y, uh, there are these dryers that you can pay. If you're familiar with the Dudley Do Right ride, they're right outside, you pay, and then like it's a giant dryer that dries you off. There's a Gronkle on top of that. Um yeah. I know what those are now. Yeah, it just still has a little butt. And can can I talk about the benches now?

SPEAKER_01

Yes, but really quick, let me say um 30 animated and static dragons around the lands. So as you walk around, there's 30 dragons, and most of them are animatronic, but there's a few static ones. I didn't know that.

SPEAKER_03

I forgot to say that earlier. I think, oh my gosh, you know what we should do next time we go is we should make our because hiccup has like a field guide. We should make our own field guide and like try to draw them, right? Yes. Because we're bad artists. I'm so bad. Me too. So it's gonna be like a big blue head with a stick body and like a little spire. I think Sailor Moon's eyes, because that's all I can draw. Okay, I think that would be so fun. We're gonna do it.

SPEAKER_01

Ah, I just love Universal Bring Us Back.

SPEAKER_03

I just, yes, Universal, we are available.

SPEAKER_01

Let us let you want bring us. Don't you want to appeal to the single, well, and married, childless, middle-aged women demographic? Hello? Come on. We're right here. That's our shtick. Um but yes, I agree. I don't even know what we were talking about. There's a bug on my my laptop.

SPEAKER_03

No, I don't know what we were talking about. Oh, we have we have ABHD.

SPEAKER_01

We have A-D-D-H-H-D-D. Um, so there were four shops in the land, and I cannot remember which is which, but I think we went into all of them. We did.

SPEAKER_03

So there's there's how to treat your dragon, which is surprise, surprise, it's Lando in disguise. Um it's like food. It's a sex store. It's a sex store. Then next to it is like general goods. Then across the street is where you can do the dragon hatching ceremony.

SPEAKER_01

You mean by a little dragon and a little egg.

SPEAKER_03

And then when you open it, you have to swear an oath. Kind of like Build-A-Bear. It's like, do you promise to do things? I don't remember. I have it on video. Defend the government and murder all. And defend all who oppose the president. Yes. Then you may have this dragon. Use it as a weapon.

SPEAKER_01

So it's Hiccup's workshop, How to Treat Your Dragon, Toothless's Treasures, and Viking Traders.

SPEAKER_03

And Viking Traders is the gift shop at the end, right? I think so. Of the of the Hiccup Right. And that's really cool because you can get um stuff with like Hiccup's workshop crest. Oh yes. And a molding of his butt. Spoilers, it's very small. He's a petite boy.

SPEAKER_01

Um, he's like Igor. He's very petite. Oh.

SPEAKER_03

I love that everything in our lives revolves around Igor.

SPEAKER_01

That's my I mean everything in my life. They're like decenter men. I'm like, no, can't. Igor, Igor, Igor, duck and bow, Igor, Igor, Igor. Um, yes, I base my whole life around a fictional young to middle-aged man who is known for being sticky and digging in graves. Yeah. Just my type. Um, oh, before I forget, if you go to how you're to train to Isle of Burke and you have a specific dragon hatchling that you want, go to the someone who works there and say, Hey, I really like blank dragon, and they will direct you. Because the dragons, it's supposed to be like, um, you don't know what kind of dragon it is, but they know by color, so they'll be like, Oh, you want Slurpee Burpee. Okay, that's in the green eggs. I love Slurpee Burpee.

SPEAKER_03

He's my favorite.

SPEAKER_01

He's my second favorite character after Burpee Slurpee.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, finally, justice for Burpee Slurpee.

SPEAKER_01

Because Dale wanted a specific one, and then you somebody told you that you asked, and then you named the dragon after your dragon after that person because you were happy.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, she was really sweet. I forget her name.

SPEAKER_01

I was expecting you to say that and you delivered. Was it like it wasn't Jen? Because no one that age group is named.

SPEAKER_03

Deirdre, no. It was Linda. It was a baby Linda. Those don't exist. No baby's name Linda. Baby Dennis. This is my baby Dennis. Oh, do you hate it? Why would you name it that?

SPEAKER_01

Also, the Linda, if you uh go watch Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Basically, if you want to understand this podcast, watch 30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, maybe an episode or two of episode or two of Arrested Development, the Brady Bunch movie, the first one. Um Surjan.

SPEAKER_03

What's his name anymore? George. George Glass. I don't know any George at our skill. He's a transfer student. He thinks I'm really cool.

SPEAKER_01

Surjan.

SPEAKER_05

George Tropicana. Is he Cuban?

SPEAKER_01

Clowns never laughed before.

SPEAKER_03

Oh my god. I had, because that's the voice of Prince Eric. I had such a crush on Christopher Daniel Barnes. And then I was like, I'm gonna Google him. I bet he aged like a fine wine. Oh my god, he has the he has no hair except on his face. He has like this crazy long beard. So it's crazy to see Jody Benson who looks like the same and has like orangey reddish hair and like looks beautiful and lovely. And she was like in her 20s, probably.

SPEAKER_01

Like she was not a child. Like he was literally, I think, 16. He was like 15 or 16. She was older than him, which we love. Any final thoughts on Burke, The Isle, Diet Coke, Brady Bunch? Cloud Stubburk laughed before.

SPEAKER_03

Such a stupid is changing when it's time to change to change. I, to this day, if there is a camera like at Target to self-checkout, I'm like, gotta keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on dancing.

SPEAKER_01

So stupid. If you ever see me on an escalator, I'm either doing this or I'm thinking about it. I do the Brady Bunch where they like put their hands over the side and then yeah, the rainbow hands. Um, that movie is more influential than I care to admit. So funny. It introduced me to RuPaul and to Shirjan. Yep. These are my white knee socks. Um, but yeah, back to Burke. I loved it. It was great. It was well themed. It was the best land, it was the biggest land, it was the best of times, it was the better of times. Um, if you're gonna spend time in any land, spend the most time in that land. Uh, we went on the um hiccups wing gliders four times over the course of two and a half days. Um we went on the fire thing only twice. We probably would have done it more if it was the boat ride. Um, the the one that we did, what was it called? Dragon Racers Rally. We would have gone on more if the line was like normal. Um, but yeah, we just walked around a lot. We shopped. At one point, I just like when you guys were on the ride, I just sat in the land and just like soaked up the atmosphere. She just vibed, baby. I just vibed. And of course, I like all the lands, it's better at night. There's lots of fire. There's like the little Vikings in the front. They have fire in their mouths unless it's wendy. Um, it's just yeah, it's be it's lit literally and figuratively. Hey! But yeah, oh, and then the Dragon Racers rally rides, great at the night, great in the day. Um, not Dragon Racers Rally, um, hiccups wing gliders, sit in the front, wait for the front. Yeah, we didn't have to wait long, but just do it. Wait for the front. Um But only do it once so that you can give other people a chance. Or be greedy. Just be like, I'm gonna take everything. I'm an American.

SPEAKER_03
