WEBVTT - Herc was on T (feat. Matt Rogers)

0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I won't sing at all on this podct no, because

0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:08.559
<v Speaker 1>Rose will be doing all this singing for you. Honestly,

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:11.399
<v Speaker 1>I am the Rose. I really hate that you are

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>so transphobic that you don't want a woman, a trans

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:17.079
<v Speaker 1>woman to sing. Yeah, that's what it's about. It is,

0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 1>it's it's when it at the end of the day,

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>it is about you. It is even if you're doing

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:24.439
<v Speaker 1>a bit, that is what it's about for me. So

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>let's just come in here and make it very thank

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>you for thank you for believing women. I wonder Rose, listen,

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>this is our multiverse of madness, an amazing crossover event.

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>We're in. Matt Rodgers from the Lost Culture Ista podcast

0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>graces you from the the l CPU, the l c

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:53.279
<v Speaker 1>PU in all of its Cafe Boostello Lori is going

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>to be coming on too, like a version to discuss well,

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 1>theme parks roller coasters. I was going to say they're

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>one of the universal childhood experiences, but I'm sure not

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 1>everyone has that experience, but they are a universal childhood

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>experience and that um I went to Universal Studios as

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.039
<v Speaker 1>a child. Yeah, And when it comes to theme parks,

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:18.319
<v Speaker 1>Matt is a historian, an expert. He's the kant a

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>philosopher of theme parks and roller coaster He's basically the

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:26.039
<v Speaker 1>Michel Fucot of roller coasters, and and there's no one

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>who has a more prescient knowledge and foresight on the

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 1>state of theme parks in this not just this country,

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>but in the world. Yeah, Matt Rogers is Walt Disney reincarnatives.

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>That's not what I was saying. Being Walt Disney and

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>being michef are very different things. And I think you've

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of mixed the metaphor. Now that's fine. That's what

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I do because this is like a virgin the show

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 1>where we give yesterday's pop culture today's takes. I'm ros

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>damn you and I'm fran Toronto. We have Matt Rogers today, who,

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>as we said, one of the hosts of Lost Culture Stas.

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 1>He's also on the New Showtimes Aries. I love that

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 1>for you, and I love that for him, and love

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 1>this for us. And the show is amazing. If you

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>haven't already seen it, it's on Showtime, starring Jennifer Lewis,

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Molly Shannon, Vanessa Bayer, all of the girls. It's it's wonderful.

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Y'all should catch it. I saw something sitting on the

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>toilet right after we recorded last week that I was like, damn,

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>like I I wish we had had time to talk

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.679
<v Speaker 1>about this in the slush piles of like our internet timelines.

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Did you see this kind of ally anthem that Kendrick

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Lamar put out recently, No Okay so Um? In his

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>most recent album, he basically wrote a song dedicated to

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:50.239
<v Speaker 1>his trans uncles that can only be described as maclemorean, like,

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>can you unpack the macailmore in part of it? Because

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I think I know that Macaulmore did something like gay,

0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>but I don't really know the specifics, and maybe some

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>of our listeners as well. Of course, I mean I

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I call it mackailmore in because it's very like Allah,

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>same love parentheses she keeps Me Warm by Macklemore, Which

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 1>was that Like I really blocked that and I really

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>resent you for making me release it from the depths

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>of my subconscious Yeah, I mean I don't really want

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 1>to plant that in your consciousness. That's not what I

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:26.640
<v Speaker 1>wanted to have that, But let me try, you know,

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>non convenually we all have to remember that that song

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 1>one like so many awards, and the first verse in

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 1>this song the first bar. That's a very generous term

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>for it. I would say, um is, when I was

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 1>in the third grade, I thought that I was gay

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>because I could draw, which is like I think we

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 1>forget about this moment in history. But like it's particularly

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 1>ironic because Macklemore fourteen, even though that song feels like

0:03:55.200 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 1>so so egregiously dated. Now, like that song one the

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>fucking Grammy and he famously won, yes, and he famously

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>won over Kendrick. And that was the year that he

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 1>texted Kendrick and screenshine and posted Instagram. It was like, hey, man,

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>like just so you know, like you deserve this award,

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 1>which like white music artists like as a whole needs

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:23.600
<v Speaker 1>to stop doing like Billy did this to Megan, Like

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 1>everybody just needs to stop. Just need to stop. No

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>one needs to be awarded for anything. No more awards.

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>But this most recent album of Kendrick's, which I have

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 1>yet some muscle through because it's like so long, just

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.280
<v Speaker 1>f y. I I will not be listening, you know,

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not. I'm not ill. I'll be finishing it, but

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to recap at all. Um this song

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>that he wrote about his trans uncles is called aunties,

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and in this song he routinely missed genders his uncle's

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 1>like throughout the entire song and also dead names. Caitlyn

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Jenner says, and he also says the word faggot like

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 1>seventeen times. I'm so happy we're talking about this on

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 1>our queer pod, Like everybody knows that. Like the only

0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 1>person who can say faggot in the course of a

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:21.240
<v Speaker 1>song is Jewel and Jewel. What song was that? I

0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>can't remember where She's like, pieces of You, it's you

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>say he was a faggot, say he was a Fagget's

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 1>socking you because she says it's so many times, very

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 1>slow and she can't she can't say it. She did,

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 1>but you can't. Long story short. People are saying, like

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:47.160
<v Speaker 1>cancel Kendrick or whatever, but like I just have to

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.160
<v Speaker 1>say it, like this is just plain foolish, Like this

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 1>is just stupid. And one he has a pulitzer and two, yes,

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Kendrick Lamar has a pulitzer. And to the irony of

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:03.599
<v Speaker 1>Kendrick basically writing a Macklemore song after being so publicly

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of subjugated by Macklemore, like made a mockri of

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 1>by Macklemore. I just think the irony is too sick. Anyways,

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 1>that's my complaint on I love to know my love

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>to know that my identity was denigrated in a piece

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 1>of media. I won't be consuming Yeah, and like and like,

0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I you know, I I don't know Kendrick's relationship to

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>his uncle's, Like you know, the nuances of having trans family.

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>It's like sometimes you don't care about pronouns or like whatever,

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 1>but it's just like you're doing this on a huge

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 1>platform with you that you're doing it for an audience,

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.719
<v Speaker 1>and like they don't understand those nuances, Like you should

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 1>just you should just not Yeah, anyways, Roase, have ever

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>told you about, like how much I love the show

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Legendary A couple of times? You've watched a few episodes

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 1>I watched. I watched like two episodes of the first

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I will say, any of the virgins out there, if

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.799
<v Speaker 1>you watch the first two episodes of the second season,

0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you'll be hooked into what is one of the great

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>seasons of reality TV I've ever seen. But season three

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 1>is back. The first three episodes I think dropped and

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>it's so good still it remains like one of my

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>most favorite shows I'll ever watch. Um, I think from

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the judging to the opening credits, to like the way

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 1>the stories of all these houses is built, to like

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 1>the shade, to like the actual dances, and like production

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 1>value that goes into all these numbers. It's like, over

0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>and over again, so good. How has it gotten in

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>terms of the corporatization of it? Because Charlene did fire

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 1>off a tweet that I thought was funny, which was legendary.

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Season three is like House of Lais Chips. Is that

0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of the vibe? I will say. She may be

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 1>referring to the pool of competitors, which maybe is not

0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>as filled with a listers as the second season, which

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 1>had us about Me in the Hospitalenciaga and a lot

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>of other really crucial players. This most recent season also

0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 1>has a Ja from drag Race in the House of

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Love Asia, which is really interesting to see her in

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.560
<v Speaker 1>the context of another reality show wherein she's it's never

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 1>acknowledged that she was on drag Race. UM. I will

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 1>say the show actually has proven itself to be an

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>amazing piece of reality TV that is backed and helmed

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>by Ballroom. UM. Obviously, there are nuances and a lot

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 1>of things that Ballroom community is not happy with in

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:35.839
<v Speaker 1>terms of exploitation, or maybe how certain categories are described,

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>or you know, everything gets lost in translation when it

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 1>goes to reality TV. But the long story short is like,

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 1>there are tons of people in Ballroom who are writing

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 1>and producing and across all the different elements of the

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 1>show to authenticate it as much as they can, and

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I personally learn a lot from it. She is, and

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna lie, amazing. She She She's She's a

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 1>great judge. She's a great judge. You know what I

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 1>just found out recently that I didn't know is that

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 1>she is going to be the villain in She Hulk.

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 1>That's such a perfect role for her. Oh my god,

0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm so excited. I mean, I'm not a Jamila stand

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 1>but I regardless of all the cultural baggage that one

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 1>person might hold, I you know, still want to honor

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.439
<v Speaker 1>the fact that she's a good judge. UM. I mean, honestly.

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.640
<v Speaker 1>To give an example, like in the most recent episode,

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 1>they did a challenge where every team had to showcase

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 1>a three sixty dip, which is an extremely difficult move

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 1>to do, UM, and they had to do it in

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 1>front of le Yomi who invented the three sixty. Um,

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 1>goes live on Instagram every thirty seconds, goes live on

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Instagram every thirty seconds. We love you girl. Um, but

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:51.280
<v Speaker 1>all of those lives. Um. Yeah, but she she's live

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram right now, right now doing three sixties. UM.

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:58.559
<v Speaker 1>Probably she's so amazing. Um. But yeah, she's like god

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.439
<v Speaker 1>tier celebrity to And honestly, you could see the nerves

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 1>and everybody trying to perform this three sixty. But to

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 1>be totally honest, it was interesting to see that as

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.200
<v Speaker 1>a challenge because a three sixty is not something that

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 1>like every team needs to have in their arsenal. It's

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 1>like an extremely difficult move to do. It's basically like asking,

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, a bunch of ice skating teams to do

0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.760
<v Speaker 1>a triple axel in front of like Marinagatsu. Like it's

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:27.079
<v Speaker 1>just not a move that everyone can physically do. Anyways,

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I definitely want to talk more about the show, like

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 1>in future episodes like as it goes on, but I

0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.040
<v Speaker 1>must like cast my picks for the versions that like

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm all in for the House of Yogi Yamamoto, but

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.320
<v Speaker 1>like love the House of Juicy Guitur and the House

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.960
<v Speaker 1>of Revlon as well. If any virgins are listening, I

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.320
<v Speaker 1>definitely want to know who your picks are because this

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>is my favorite show. Um also LAMI should have an

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Emmy and maybe DeShawn too, But I think they would

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:54.560
<v Speaker 1>be competing against Rue Paul because it's that good luck

0:10:54.600 --> 0:11:00.440
<v Speaker 1>with that uh speak of the devil. We want the

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:04.960
<v Speaker 1>first two episodes of All Stars All Winners season together

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday, and you know, I was not sure how

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>this whole Winners thing was going to play out, but

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 1>it's very good TV. You know. I think it's very

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>smart to have the conceit of the season b that

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.800
<v Speaker 1>no one goes home because I think, like with bringing

0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 1>a winner back, if you've won that show, you do

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>not want to come back and embarrass yourself or tarnish

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.680
<v Speaker 1>your legacy. So it does feel like the only circumstances

0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 1>in which those girls would have come back to the show,

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 1>like knowing that probably all of the critique was going

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 1>to like lean positive if it happened at all, and

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 1>that they would be able to stick around for the

0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 1>entirety of the season. But I think the big thing

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>that we have to talk about is snatch game, obviously,

0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.360
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like Jinks in terms of what you're

0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.679
<v Speaker 1>talking about before, Like Jinks specifically is one of those

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.760
<v Speaker 1>legends that was like, I would never go back to

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.679
<v Speaker 1>drag Race like ever, ever, and only in this circumstance

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.319
<v Speaker 1>that's very friendly and very like it's got a very

0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 1>celebratory summer camp reunion kind of vibe, like and they're

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 1>also there's a lot of money that they can win.

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>But Jinks like one snatch game forever, forever, forever, hwer

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Judy Garland was I mean and clearly. And when I

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.959
<v Speaker 1>say like they're in on it, it's like she would

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.480
<v Speaker 1>not have been able to do that kind of extended

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 1>snatch game performance if the Snatch game was not kind

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 1>of set up for it to really be about her. Interesting. Interesting.

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I love then. I love that the theories it's not

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, not like a conspiracy theory. I just mean

0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.960
<v Speaker 1>like she knew. I'm sure there was some kind of

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 1>production meeting where they were like they knew what she

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>was going to do ahead of time. Yeah, of course

0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 1>they all have to kind of submit their their characters

0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>ahead I and I think they can place bets on

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.560
<v Speaker 1>who's gonna win. Like I remember turning to you rose

0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.960
<v Speaker 1>before the snatch game started, like right before. I remember

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>turning to you and I said, no one has ever

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.079
<v Speaker 1>done Judy, which is remarkable, and you were like yeah,

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:21.080
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, Jinx is the person could do it.

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.960
<v Speaker 1>She's the only one that could do it. And by

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 1>like maybe no, no, shut up. I think only by

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 1>like a few points did she maybe beat out Alaska

0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 1>as May West, which is my favorite snatch game of

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.320
<v Speaker 1>all time. But like what I'm like trying not to

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:43.480
<v Speaker 1>get emotional, what Jinx did was transcendent and her not

0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:45.720
<v Speaker 1>just like in her jokes and her like you know,

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 1>comedic timing and the nuances of the way she would

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.199
<v Speaker 1>drop her chin on her hands like this, or like

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the way she would kind of fiddle with like a

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 1>piece of paper like between her fingers, the way Judy

0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>was like everything she did was so Judy, but the

0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:05.440
<v Speaker 1>way she sang was better. She sounded like Judy exactly.

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 1>She sounded better than Rene's Alwegger in Judy, like I

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:15.600
<v Speaker 1>was it just elevated like this kind of throwaway Judy

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 1>is a drug addict character vibe of snatch games. Like

0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 1>none of those other girls should have been on stage

0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.840
<v Speaker 1>with her, like Jinks should if she does not do

0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 1>like a Judy one woman show after all Stars, she

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 1>was missing out on making a lot of money because

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 1>she could do it, Like she could do a one

0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 1>woman show as Judy, and I would I wouldn't pay

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to see it, but I would go see it. I

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I would pay to see it. Um, But like I

0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:44.480
<v Speaker 1>I will say, I thought there were a lot of

0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 1>other really good snatch games up there. I think the

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.600
<v Speaker 1>only people that really boofed it were Shay and ev

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I think, um, but he was bad, and like it's

0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 1>it's it's just telling that that for how bad people

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 1>like Shay and Evie were, that they didn't really get

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 1>negative critiques. It's telling about the parameters of this season

0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 1>because on a normal season they would have got torn

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.480
<v Speaker 1>up to shreds for those performances. Yeah, I think the

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 1>judging on this specific season is kind of interesting and

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.880
<v Speaker 1>also on a light touch for sure. It's a light

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 1>touch for sure. I also, I mean we are seeing

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 1>some paramount plus budget for those guest judges with Naomi

0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Campbell and Cameron Diaz, Like why haven't we people please

0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.800
<v Speaker 1>come back to acting? I want I want the return. No,

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 1>she looks happy she looks happy selling wine and being

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.240
<v Speaker 1>not an actress. I'm I'm happy for her, even if

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 1>I myself I'm not happy that she's gone. Have you

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:47.440
<v Speaker 1>ever tried her wine? No? Have you No? I tried

0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>to veer away from all celebrity wines like that. The

0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Coppola wines are so disgusting to me. Well, I hate

0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 1>wine famously. You famously hate wine, Um, Cameron Diaz, if

0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 1>you did come on our show, we would gladly about

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 1>your wine. I don't even know what it's called. Amazing,

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure, I'm sure this, Um. I did listen to

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.120
<v Speaker 1>the new Harry Styles album because I know we talked

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:13.680
<v Speaker 1>about before that we both liked as it was kind

0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 1>of surprisingly a lot album. To me, it's very like

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 1>adult contemporary elevator music. I do mean that as a compliment.

0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 1>It clearly was made to be TikTok sounds. I like

0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:30.520
<v Speaker 1>the sushi song. I like cinema. I don't know if

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.760
<v Speaker 1>this is like a weird comparison to make, but it

0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 1>does remind me of Florence and the Machines album How Big, Hublu,

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 1>How Beautiful Like. I think it's really well produced. My

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.440
<v Speaker 1>sisters are huge, hairy style stands and they really don't

0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.080
<v Speaker 1>like it because I think it's very different than his

0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 1>last album, but like you know, it's kind of boring,

0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.960
<v Speaker 1>but like it's very listenable. In comparison to other Harry albums,

0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm much more connected to the music. I think when

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.200
<v Speaker 1>he emerged on the scene, I didn't really feel acted

0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.280
<v Speaker 1>to his music as much as just like his fashion,

0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.080
<v Speaker 1>which we disagree on, and like his kind of persona

0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.280
<v Speaker 1>as a celebrity. I really adore you think. I don't

0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.080
<v Speaker 1>think no, no, no. I would never use the word serve,

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I would never use the words certain, but I would

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:20.040
<v Speaker 1>say that Harry Styles frequently wears things that I too

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.159
<v Speaker 1>would love to wear, and I think that I'm not

0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't disagree with that. What I'm saying is like

0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.959
<v Speaker 1>his style is just someone is taking a Gucci runway

0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:29.840
<v Speaker 1>look and putting it on him and there's not a

0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of thought there. I agree, but I don't want to.

0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I would never die on a hill defending Harry like

0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:39.520
<v Speaker 1>that's not where I am. But I will say that this.

0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:41.439
<v Speaker 1>I do know that you have bought an item of

0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 1>clothing before because Harry Styles wore it. Though Mama, I've

0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:47.879
<v Speaker 1>bought three items of clothing because Harry Styles wore it

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:51.879
<v Speaker 1>three count it um. I will also say this album

0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.679
<v Speaker 1>I think I could only describe as like adorable, Like

0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I love the first three songs. I love that the

0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:00.520
<v Speaker 1>song music for a Sushi Restaurant wasn't fired by the

0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.360
<v Speaker 1>fact that he heard another one of his songs while

0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:06.600
<v Speaker 1>he was eating sushi at a sushi restaurant, and like

0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.480
<v Speaker 1>the song is kind of like poking fun at himself

0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:14.679
<v Speaker 1>almost for being easy listening. It's giving adult contemporary the

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:19.600
<v Speaker 1>serious x M channel mosaic. It's very that vibe. Closing

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:25.560
<v Speaker 1>the loop on one more thing you rose you were,

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:31.719
<v Speaker 1>in fact wrong about me liking The Northman. I'm so sorry.

0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I went into this movie with like the lowest possible

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:45.400
<v Speaker 1>expectations and I loved this movie. That's great. I'm very surprised,

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 1>but I'm glad you loved it. I think you I

0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.199
<v Speaker 1>think you famously said if you don't, if you're not

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:53.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna like conversations with friends, you're not gonna like The

0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:58.000
<v Speaker 1>North mid Um, which, like you know, very interesting comparison

0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:01.600
<v Speaker 1>for me. I can't remember what your train of thought

0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>was there. So sorry to take you out of context.

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:06.360
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I think that you were mostly thinking

0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.640
<v Speaker 1>about my reaction to The Green Knight, which I think

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.360
<v Speaker 1>is a pretty good comp for The Northman. The difference

0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:14.200
<v Speaker 1>is that the Green Knight was not interested in having

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 1>a plot. It was interested in like painting a picture,

0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:21.200
<v Speaker 1>where the Northman I think was plot plot, plot, plot plot.

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:25.679
<v Speaker 1>And even though you know the story is very simple,

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, like it it follows. Yeah, but like I

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.720
<v Speaker 1>felt like it was still felt so fresh, and I

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:35.560
<v Speaker 1>was shook also that there aren't really that many movies

0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:40.560
<v Speaker 1>out there that are telling Viking Norse mythology stories, Like

0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Norse mythology is yeah, you know that's through a Marvel

0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:51.240
<v Speaker 1>superhero lens. Yeah, but like all around just like completely dope,

0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:54.679
<v Speaker 1>like Alexander scars Guard is like a fucking hulk of

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.200
<v Speaker 1>a man like that. That was like so much. Body

0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Mass is like amazing to watch the entire time. And

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't tell me that the movie ends in a fight

0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to the death in like a pool of lava. In

0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:09.199
<v Speaker 1>the news, it's giving It's giving mountain doom. Literally nude,

0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:13.800
<v Speaker 1>they were naked, Like what was that? You hate spoilers?

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Why would I have told you? Yeah? Okay, yeah, I

0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.359
<v Speaker 1>appreciate that, and sorry to the virgins whom I just

0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:38.200
<v Speaker 1>spoiled it too. I don't know why or how or

0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:42.400
<v Speaker 1>when this was decided, but you are something of an

0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 1>expert on theme parks for sure. I used to when

0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I was little. I used to draw the map of

0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Disneyland from memory were you would for my own? Can

0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:56.160
<v Speaker 1>you still draw it from both Disneyland and Disney World? Yeah?

0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:59.199
<v Speaker 1>That the the layout of Magic Kingdom I would know

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:02.040
<v Speaker 1>by heart, and Epcot and Hollywood Studios and I'm looking

0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:03.480
<v Speaker 1>at them one. When I was little, in bored, I

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.879
<v Speaker 1>would draw the maps. There is something really queer about

0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:10.119
<v Speaker 1>like when did you come out? I almost had eleven,

0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:13.000
<v Speaker 1>which is a lot of bold face light nine. I

0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:14.840
<v Speaker 1>feel like drawing maps as a kid, like or like

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 1>roller coaster tycoon type ship, like like invent. I used

0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:20.919
<v Speaker 1>to like design malls, you know, like that was like

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:22.600
<v Speaker 1>a thing. I feel like, you know, every kid kind

0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:24.640
<v Speaker 1>of wants to be an architect until they figure out

0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:27.200
<v Speaker 1>that math is involved, and then I'm like, at least

0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:29.359
<v Speaker 1>for me, I was like, no, thanks. I didn't design malls,

0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:31.040
<v Speaker 1>but I went to them a lot, and I still

0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:35.520
<v Speaker 1>could find my way around my home mall fully blindfolded.

0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Is that how you are with Disney? Yeah, oh no,

0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:41.600
<v Speaker 1>for sure. Like when I go to any theme park, really,

0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:43.159
<v Speaker 1>I sort of take it upon myself to be like

0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:45.119
<v Speaker 1>the leader of the trip, and I will know what

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:50.399
<v Speaker 1>everything is oftentimes, if not like intuitively, like oftentimes like

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:52.000
<v Speaker 1>sense memory will kick in and I'll be like, this

0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:53.720
<v Speaker 1>is where we must go and I used to What

0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:57.360
<v Speaker 1>really bothers me is when they do refurbishments and renovations

0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:01.159
<v Speaker 1>without sort of like letting letting, you know, letting the

0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:03.000
<v Speaker 1>girls know, because I'll be like, here's a short cut

0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:04.639
<v Speaker 1>turn around, and all of a sudden they'll be just

0:22:04.680 --> 0:22:07.479
<v Speaker 1>a wall and I want to ride a shutdown forget it?

0:22:07.520 --> 0:22:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Are you? Are you on a schedule? Is it TikTok?

0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:14.320
<v Speaker 1>When you're sore? An itinerary moment? I like to know

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.320
<v Speaker 1>what's the next thing we're doing. But I don't care

0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:20.080
<v Speaker 1>beyond that. Also because most of the time, most of

0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 1>the time when I go to theme park, now I'm

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:27.080
<v Speaker 1>how do I say this extraordinarily fucked up? Like I'll

0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:30.560
<v Speaker 1>go on like half a tab, I'll the theme park

0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:32.880
<v Speaker 1>and like, really fuck it up? I mean, who does

0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:36.840
<v Speaker 1>like theme park sober like children. I think outside of that,

0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:39.640
<v Speaker 1>like who you know, I mean, yeah, you can't. I

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 1>think kids. I don't even like to go when there's

0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:44.320
<v Speaker 1>kids around, like I go on the weekday during the day.

0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:47.399
<v Speaker 1>That's that's very smart. That's the last theme park we

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:51.000
<v Speaker 1>went to was we went to Universal during the day

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:55.240
<v Speaker 1>on a weekday and very early. Um. I was very

0:22:55.320 --> 0:22:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I felt very um slighted and maligned and like the

0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 1>odd were started against me because Fran didn't want to

0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:03.960
<v Speaker 1>get there as early as I did. Yes, I remember

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:07.360
<v Speaker 1>when you when you all did this, like you were like, yeah,

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 1>you talked about last coul and you were like, we

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:11.520
<v Speaker 1>have to get there one it opens before, it open before.

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:14.840
<v Speaker 1>But the thing is you didn't know the actual open time.

0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:16.720
<v Speaker 1>We got that wrong, and so we showed up ten

0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:18.959
<v Speaker 1>minutes early. Way and it doesn't mean the plan was right.

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:21.520
<v Speaker 1>And we arrived and and um we like it was

0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:23.280
<v Speaker 1>like one of those days where they made the entire

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:26.120
<v Speaker 1>crowd waiting outside do a countdown. Yeah, but they did

0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:28.239
<v Speaker 1>let us in early. Yes they didn't. It was they

0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:32.720
<v Speaker 1>always do. That's that's sort of a like hack, if

0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I might, sort of a a hack life. Half curtain is

0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:39.000
<v Speaker 1>they will always let you win fifteen minutes early, even

0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:41.200
<v Speaker 1>if the rides don't start until like, let's say eight

0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:43.159
<v Speaker 1>or nine am when the park opens, Like you can

0:23:43.200 --> 0:23:46.800
<v Speaker 1>get it early. Get your Starbucks. Yes, I mean, what's

0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:49.520
<v Speaker 1>your first turkey leg of the day. We got We'll

0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:51.679
<v Speaker 1>get into the we'll get into the food later. What

0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:54.359
<v Speaker 1>are the parks that are like on your rotation so

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you frequent them? You probably have like passes our memberships

0:23:57.240 --> 0:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>to some of these. Do you have, like if you

0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:02.479
<v Speaker 1>were to kind of lay out for the virgins, you know,

0:24:02.600 --> 0:24:05.240
<v Speaker 1>a tearing of or or ones that you regularly visit.

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:09.200
<v Speaker 1>So virgins, and I really know I'm talking to you today. Um,

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:13.200
<v Speaker 1>my favorite theme park destination in all of life is, um,

0:24:13.400 --> 0:24:18.560
<v Speaker 1>the Universal Orlando Resort. Since this is and bar and grow.

0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Um it's thank you for saying that, because I'm from Florida,

0:24:23.480 --> 0:24:26.920
<v Speaker 1>and I really you know, and so you sort of understand. Intrinsically,

0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the Disney World is sort of hell yes on Earth,

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:33.280
<v Speaker 1>which for reasons I will get into and you'll agree with,

0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm certain. But the thing about Universal Studios Florida and

0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Islands of Adventure is there right next to each other,

0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and they're also connected via the I'm so sorry Hogwarts

0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:47.359
<v Speaker 1>express um and so I know, I know, I know,

0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:51.880
<v Speaker 1>but we'll get into it. We're gonna get into well, yes,

0:24:52.359 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 1>of course she's something we must tackle today if we're

0:24:54.760 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about this. Because of the revolution that

0:24:57.680 --> 0:25:01.359
<v Speaker 1>happened when HP came to theme parks, I mean, the

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:05.760
<v Speaker 1>girls are clamoring to catch up. So the reason I

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:08.840
<v Speaker 1>like Universal Studios and Islands of Venture is there right

0:25:08.880 --> 0:25:10.680
<v Speaker 1>there next to each other, and there's the city walk

0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:12.600
<v Speaker 1>area where you can eat and hang out. And also

0:25:12.640 --> 0:25:14.639
<v Speaker 1>they have the rides that are more like that are

0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:17.680
<v Speaker 1>less for babies, so you actually can go get a

0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:21.320
<v Speaker 1>hashtag thrill and you really could do it all in

0:25:21.359 --> 0:25:24.119
<v Speaker 1>like one or two days, whereas Disney World is sort

0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:28.879
<v Speaker 1>of um involved, it's involved, it takes months and months

0:25:28.920 --> 0:25:33.480
<v Speaker 1>of planning. I actually get more and more upset every

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:36.160
<v Speaker 1>time every single time I go, because it's like so

0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:39.719
<v Speaker 1>overwhelming in terms of just the endeavor that it is

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:41.720
<v Speaker 1>to get from one park to another. It's like a

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:46.160
<v Speaker 1>forty five minute situation, really crowded. Often it gets more

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and more expensive all the time. I mean, and Universal

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 1>you can truly do in well the one here you

0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:53.719
<v Speaker 1>can do the whole thing in like six hours literally,

0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:56.400
<v Speaker 1>But do you remember the gag Because, as I said,

0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in Florida, So I remember when Islands

0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:02.200
<v Speaker 1>of Adventure opened and it was like a paradigm shift.

0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Was the Islands of Adventures? Like, so it's the big

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:09.120
<v Speaker 1>ride at the time when it opened. Was the Hulk Coaster?

0:26:09.840 --> 0:26:16.440
<v Speaker 1>M dueling dragons, epic, amazing rest, power and power. Does

0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the Hulk roller coaster still exists? Yes, and it is.

0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:21.879
<v Speaker 1>It's one of my favorite rollers. So basically, like you

0:26:22.400 --> 0:26:24.879
<v Speaker 1>are you a coaster person? I so I actually am

0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:27.160
<v Speaker 1>a bit of aversion to the to the theme parks

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:29.400
<v Speaker 1>in general. Like I've been to Disneyland twice as a kid,

0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:31.399
<v Speaker 1>been to Six Flags maybe once, and then we went

0:26:31.440 --> 0:26:33.959
<v Speaker 1>to Universal for the first time last year. So then

0:26:34.000 --> 0:26:36.119
<v Speaker 1>you did the Mummy roller coaster, yes, which is the

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:39.320
<v Speaker 1>best roller coaster experience, and you had a fabulous have

0:26:39.400 --> 0:26:41.600
<v Speaker 1>a fabulous But I think I think the Friend could

0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 1>do Hulk. Have you been have you been to do

0:26:43.840 --> 0:26:48.640
<v Speaker 1>the Velocity coaster yet? No? Absolutely amazing, Like I think

0:26:48.720 --> 0:26:51.080
<v Speaker 1>the best theme park ride that exists currently. What do

0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:53.640
<v Speaker 1>you look for? What are your criteria in a theme

0:26:53.680 --> 0:26:56.159
<v Speaker 1>park ride? What you want thrills, you want chills, you

0:26:56.200 --> 0:26:59.760
<v Speaker 1>want thrills and chills. So definitely thrills and chills. But

0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 1>for me, what's most important is immersion. What's what's most

0:27:03.960 --> 0:27:05.720
<v Speaker 1>important for me, especially like if you're going to go

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:07.959
<v Speaker 1>to Disney or Universal, I want to step in and

0:27:08.040 --> 0:27:11.560
<v Speaker 1>feel like, Okay, every inch of this place is covered

0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:16.080
<v Speaker 1>in detail, Like I love to feel like when I'm

0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:19.120
<v Speaker 1>when I've chewed my whole edible and my twenty milligrams hit,

0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I want to feel like I'm in it. I love.

0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:26.679
<v Speaker 1>That's why I love avatar Land is because they have

0:27:26.760 --> 0:27:30.400
<v Speaker 1>set the scene. We'll put respect on Disney's name. For

0:27:30.920 --> 0:27:34.840
<v Speaker 1>the World of Pandora, I have to tell you wouldn't

0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:39.720
<v Speaker 1>exist without world. Okay. So given the back story on

0:27:39.760 --> 0:27:42.040
<v Speaker 1>this podcast before, maybe or maybe I just explained it

0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:45.320
<v Speaker 1>to you. So originally Harry Potter World was supposed to

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:47.639
<v Speaker 1>be at Disney, but J. K. Rowling wanted a train

0:27:47.880 --> 0:27:51.840
<v Speaker 1>to transport people in and Disney said absolutely not. So

0:27:52.600 --> 0:27:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Universal was obviously like, yes, we'll give you a train,

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:59.320
<v Speaker 1>We'll give you anything. Trans women are men. She has

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:02.360
<v Speaker 1>literally like an indignant, like adult child. She's like, I

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:05.479
<v Speaker 1>want to she wanted a full creative control, and they

0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:08.040
<v Speaker 1>were not willing and which Disney was not willing to

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 1>do that because they have the whole imagineering structure. And

0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:15.120
<v Speaker 1>then when Disney started to lose a bunch of attendees

0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and money to Universal, they said, we need a hot

0:28:18.000 --> 0:28:21.159
<v Speaker 1>property that is a similar kind of immersive world. And

0:28:21.160 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 1>they said, what about the highest grossing movie ever made

0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:29.080
<v Speaker 1>which no one remembers, which, by the way, the Way

0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:31.679
<v Speaker 1>of Water. I can't. I'm so excited to see this trailer.

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:33.679
<v Speaker 1>I thought, I will say this when they sat when

0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:35.720
<v Speaker 1>they announced that they were going to bring Avatar to

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the parks, that was like their answer to Harry Potter.

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting the sense that you were like, this is

0:28:40.080 --> 0:28:42.320
<v Speaker 1>an iconic flop. And I felt the same way too,

0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 1>because I was like, Harry Potter is an entire world,

0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:47.360
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not saying that Avatar is not an entire world,

0:28:47.440 --> 0:28:52.400
<v Speaker 1>but Harry Potter is a proven eight film like extensive

0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 1>international book series. Not to say that Avatar is international,

0:28:55.440 --> 0:28:57.600
<v Speaker 1>but you'd think like you'd want to at least release

0:28:57.680 --> 0:28:59.480
<v Speaker 1>a couple more of those movies. You want something with

0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:02.400
<v Speaker 1>more source material. I was proven wrong when I went, oh,

0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I cried on flight of the whatever stream. Really the

0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:11.560
<v Speaker 1>smell of like the orange that you get as you're

0:29:11.560 --> 0:29:14.960
<v Speaker 1>flying over the trees is it is life changing. That's

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:17.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot for something that's essentially you know, furn gully,

0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:20.440
<v Speaker 1>but with like technological imperialists and the way that you're

0:29:20.520 --> 0:29:22.959
<v Speaker 1>you're like writing the thing and you can feel it

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:28.480
<v Speaker 1>breathing between your legs. It's giving you. It's given. It's

0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:31.840
<v Speaker 1>it's basically it's moving beyond the five senses to also

0:29:31.920 --> 0:29:35.120
<v Speaker 1>a sixth sense, which is like sort of a horny

0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:38.280
<v Speaker 1>sexual like thing. It's like it's like it's like intimate.

0:29:38.520 --> 0:29:41.960
<v Speaker 1>The sixth sense is horny. It's a beast breathing between

0:29:42.000 --> 0:29:47.479
<v Speaker 1>your legs. And that's simple the six senses culture. The

0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:53.800
<v Speaker 1>sixth sense is wrong. Podcast talk about if we're talking

0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:58.120
<v Speaker 1>about immersion, can we talk about the Universal Studios Tour. Oh?

0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:00.800
<v Speaker 1>That was it's just called the the Studio Tour. That

0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:03.920
<v Speaker 1>was our favorite part of university phenomenal. I like for

0:30:04.000 --> 0:30:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the virgins, like it is like a again all six senses,

0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Like it is like you know, for d there's like

0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 1>smells and like sprays and like that. I think that

0:30:14.080 --> 0:30:15.960
<v Speaker 1>like the way they I just had never been on

0:30:16.000 --> 0:30:18.440
<v Speaker 1>a ride like that before, where like everything around you

0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:24.480
<v Speaker 1>is like three dimensionally. To go to Orlando, you must

0:30:24.560 --> 0:30:27.120
<v Speaker 1>take friends. Let me tell you, we're gonna go visit

0:30:27.200 --> 0:30:30.000
<v Speaker 1>my family and then we're gonna and then we're gonna

0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:32.720
<v Speaker 1>steal someone's car and go to Orlando. I have to

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and do four days. There is this and we have

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:39.400
<v Speaker 1>to go dead of winter January at Disney Universal. Best

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:41.760
<v Speaker 1>time to go, can tell you. I think it's actually October,

0:30:41.840 --> 0:30:45.920
<v Speaker 1>but okay, oh really okay, well Halloween Halloween nights also,

0:30:46.400 --> 0:30:49.000
<v Speaker 1>But as a Floridian, you know that was always when

0:30:49.000 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 1>we went because it was like, I think it was dead.

0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:54.600
<v Speaker 1>There was no tourism. Um. I do love going in

0:30:54.640 --> 0:30:57.520
<v Speaker 1>October and I love going during the holidays. I have

0:30:57.600 --> 0:31:00.080
<v Speaker 1>trade in Orlando. I have like an absolutely mass of

0:31:00.200 --> 0:31:02.560
<v Speaker 1>man that talks about like getting me pregnant. Everyone. I

0:31:02.600 --> 0:31:08.320
<v Speaker 1>feel like it would be everyone. Well, there's also it's

0:31:08.360 --> 0:31:11.120
<v Speaker 1>that people live in Orlando. There's a bunch of colleges there,

0:31:11.160 --> 0:31:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and there's a huge international airport, so there's always trade.

0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:17.240
<v Speaker 1>And also the thing is like people that work at Disney,

0:31:17.520 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and there's actually not a straight person that works at

0:31:20.680 --> 0:31:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Universal or Disney No, it's entirely queers, and so they're

0:31:24.280 --> 0:31:28.560
<v Speaker 1>so horny because they're inner child. Yeah, they have to

0:31:28.680 --> 0:31:30.880
<v Speaker 1>be sort of like inner child all day and then

0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:33.440
<v Speaker 1>when they when when the lights go down at night, honey,

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:36.560
<v Speaker 1>there's still you know, adult queers. Yeah, but they're still

0:31:36.640 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 1>using their baby voice. No, no, no, not not when

0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:45.680
<v Speaker 1>you open grinder in Orlando, it's treasure. Have you ever

0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:49.200
<v Speaker 1>gotten sucked off at Disney? I've never hooked have you

0:31:49.240 --> 0:31:52.960
<v Speaker 1>hooked up on any side with Okay, my my ex

0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:57.200
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend Jared and I went, and my ex ex boyfriend

0:31:57.320 --> 0:31:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Henry and I went, and I think I did I

0:32:00.040 --> 0:32:03.360
<v Speaker 1>ever hooked up there because I felt wrong. It's no,

0:32:03.440 --> 0:32:06.560
<v Speaker 1>not even that we're so tired, like full of meat

0:32:07.080 --> 0:32:09.040
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day. It's not a horny thing.

0:32:09.200 --> 0:32:12.880
<v Speaker 1>It's it's like you're very shausted and your feet are

0:32:13.000 --> 0:32:17.360
<v Speaker 1>killing you. You ate trash like you're not trying to pork.

0:32:17.520 --> 0:32:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever been to gay Days? No with the

0:32:20.600 --> 0:32:24.000
<v Speaker 1>matching shirts. No, I don't really do the matching shirts.

0:32:24.040 --> 0:32:27.080
<v Speaker 1>And I don't dress up in March. I don't do that. No, no, no,

0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:29.960
<v Speaker 1>you don't do Earbridge too far. It's not that I'm

0:32:29.960 --> 0:32:32.520
<v Speaker 1>opposed to doing ears, and maybe when I go again

0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:34.840
<v Speaker 1>in several weeks, like I will do the ear. Would

0:32:34.880 --> 0:32:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you do like a Wanda Crown ear? I would definitely

0:32:37.560 --> 0:32:39.800
<v Speaker 1>do a w I wand ahead and I heard by

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:45.040
<v Speaker 1>the way California Adventure now has I've seen Picnic and

0:32:45.120 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 1>she kind of does the hand There's there's no special effects,

0:32:49.320 --> 0:32:52.560
<v Speaker 1>it's just hands. She doesn't handwork. Kids are gonna be like,

0:32:52.800 --> 0:32:56.120
<v Speaker 1>where's your or queen. It's like Image and Heap making

0:32:56.320 --> 0:32:58.840
<v Speaker 1>making beats well, Image and Heap is playing her in

0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:03.600
<v Speaker 1>the park. Imagine he's actually booked the gig and very

0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:06.240
<v Speaker 1>circular because imagine he did the music for the Harry

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Potter play. So it all comes back to University, which

0:33:09.000 --> 0:33:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I almost saw when I was in New York. But

0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:13.880
<v Speaker 1>that's actually a bridge I won't cross with j K.

0:33:14.080 --> 0:33:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I I won't support her directly, like I won't support

0:33:18.320 --> 0:33:21.200
<v Speaker 1>something that she wrote. Okay, so this leads better than us.

0:33:21.240 --> 0:33:23.840
<v Speaker 1>This leads us to a fun um theme park tidbit,

0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:26.480
<v Speaker 1>which is that before j K. Rowling was out as

0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:28.800
<v Speaker 1>a turf, I think before I knew what a turf was.

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:31.920
<v Speaker 1>When the Harry Potter theme parks had just opened, I

0:33:32.000 --> 0:33:34.720
<v Speaker 1>was kicked out of Universal for shoplifting. What did you

0:33:34.800 --> 0:33:37.200
<v Speaker 1>try to take? I tried to steal a wand because

0:33:37.200 --> 0:33:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I was I was a really good mischief manage, well,

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:46.080
<v Speaker 1>mischief not manage, because they got Miguel um and that

0:33:46.280 --> 0:33:48.320
<v Speaker 1>is why I transitioned so that I could go back.

0:33:49.080 --> 0:33:52.080
<v Speaker 1>So did the errors come out of nowhere and arrest you?

0:33:52.080 --> 0:33:54.680
<v Speaker 1>And did Harry Potter as a cop escort you out

0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:56.720
<v Speaker 1>of the theme park? Like what was the scenario? Yeah,

0:33:56.800 --> 0:34:01.760
<v Speaker 1>they slapped some manacles on me. You were enchanted. They

0:34:01.800 --> 0:34:06.000
<v Speaker 1>made one of those posters of my face I wanted

0:34:06.120 --> 0:34:11.440
<v Speaker 1>and wizard would you like to connect Wizard? Yeah, they

0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:14.440
<v Speaker 1>slapped the butter beer out of my hand. Oh my gosh.

0:34:14.760 --> 0:34:16.719
<v Speaker 1>So now you may return and you have returned. I

0:34:16.719 --> 0:34:19.920
<v Speaker 1>have returned to many times and their facial recognition software

0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:22.960
<v Speaker 1>can't get me because you know what, estrogen redeposits a

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:26.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of the fat in your face. Okay, so listen,

0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:29.200
<v Speaker 1>did this happen in Orlando or Hollywood Orlando? Because this

0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:31.840
<v Speaker 1>was like, this was like two thousand nine. Is it

0:34:31.920 --> 0:34:34.040
<v Speaker 1>like a lifetime band or is it just like that

0:34:34.239 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 1>they thought it was a lifetime band? But jokes on

0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:41.319
<v Speaker 1>them because I have a different name. Try it. Try Okay.

0:34:41.360 --> 0:34:43.160
<v Speaker 1>On the Disney of it all, did you have like

0:34:43.200 --> 0:34:45.719
<v Speaker 1>growing up, did you have like favorite Disney characters that

0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:48.120
<v Speaker 1>you wanted to take pictures with you? It's not about

0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:50.640
<v Speaker 1>characters for me, and I have never you didn't have

0:34:50.680 --> 0:34:53.279
<v Speaker 1>an autograph of you have to stop you because I

0:34:53.280 --> 0:34:55.120
<v Speaker 1>did have an autograph book. But even then I knew

0:34:55.160 --> 0:34:56.440
<v Speaker 1>it was a waste of time. I'm like, I want

0:34:56.440 --> 0:34:57.920
<v Speaker 1>to get online for the rides. I want to I

0:34:57.920 --> 0:35:01.359
<v Speaker 1>want to experience attractions. Okay, we gotta go, we gotta go,

0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:04.200
<v Speaker 1>and that that is Whenever I sort of am at

0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:06.760
<v Speaker 1>any theme park now and I feel myself my shoulders

0:35:06.719 --> 0:35:08.359
<v Speaker 1>starting to rise because I feel like we're not making

0:35:08.400 --> 0:35:10.799
<v Speaker 1>good time. I just sort of tried to tell myself, like,

0:35:11.400 --> 0:35:15.000
<v Speaker 1>it's okay, you're an adult, you've done it all before,

0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:19.520
<v Speaker 1>you can do it again later. It's okay, don't just relax.

0:35:22.480 --> 0:35:25.200
<v Speaker 1>But but it is like there's something about it where

0:35:25.239 --> 0:35:27.560
<v Speaker 1>it's just like, you know, the park has a closing

0:35:27.600 --> 0:35:31.680
<v Speaker 1>time and you gotta keep going. Yeah, and all theme

0:35:31.680 --> 0:35:33.880
<v Speaker 1>parks are really an assault on the senses, And you

0:35:33.920 --> 0:35:37.279
<v Speaker 1>became immediately overwhelmed with an assaults on the body. It

0:35:37.480 --> 0:35:40.239
<v Speaker 1>is it is like going to war being at a

0:35:40.320 --> 0:35:44.040
<v Speaker 1>theme park. Yeah, pretty much. It is a crusade from beginning.

0:35:45.560 --> 0:35:48.239
<v Speaker 1>But I just want to ask you, though, what was

0:35:48.239 --> 0:35:50.120
<v Speaker 1>your favorite thing when you went to you so the

0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Mommy was your favorite ride? The Mommy was my favorite

0:35:52.239 --> 0:35:54.240
<v Speaker 1>ride at Universal for sure. I think that the studio

0:35:54.320 --> 0:35:56.960
<v Speaker 1>tour was definitely a standout. Well, that's like an experience

0:35:57.040 --> 0:35:59.120
<v Speaker 1>one must have. Yeah, immerses, what did you think of

0:35:59.160 --> 0:36:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Jurassic World. Jurassic World was fine. I feel like, I mean,

0:36:04.160 --> 0:36:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what did you think. I thought it

0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:08.479
<v Speaker 1>was fun. I kind of like classic Jurassic Park more

0:36:08.840 --> 0:36:11.920
<v Speaker 1>that is because it's the ride of my childhood. I

0:36:11.960 --> 0:36:14.799
<v Speaker 1>feel similarly about the Jaws ride. Thank you, and I

0:36:14.840 --> 0:36:17.799
<v Speaker 1>really I think that actually this is something so okay,

0:36:17.880 --> 0:36:21.040
<v Speaker 1>there's some background on me is um. When I was little,

0:36:21.560 --> 0:36:24.600
<v Speaker 1>all I wanted to do and become was the one

0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:27.280
<v Speaker 1>of the skippers on the Jaws attraction. Like I'm actually

0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:30.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I'm currently to this day off

0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:32.680
<v Speaker 1>book on it, but I was for a time off

0:36:32.719 --> 0:36:34.440
<v Speaker 1>book on it, and I actually did a show at

0:36:34.480 --> 0:36:37.080
<v Speaker 1>You See Beginning or called You Will Get Wet, which

0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:40.120
<v Speaker 1>was a half hour spank they called it, which was

0:36:40.120 --> 0:36:41.640
<v Speaker 1>like a show that you tried to get running at

0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:44.279
<v Speaker 1>the theater. And in it, I played a character that's

0:36:44.360 --> 0:36:46.879
<v Speaker 1>dream was to do supposed to be on the Jaws boat.

0:36:46.960 --> 0:36:50.480
<v Speaker 1>And I actually did the Jaws attraction in the theater,

0:36:50.600 --> 0:36:53.879
<v Speaker 1>and Bowen Yang played the shark. Yeah, there's a video

0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:55.200
<v Speaker 1>of it. You can watch it. It's called you Will

0:36:55.239 --> 0:36:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Get Wet. There's video of the whole show. How did

0:36:57.200 --> 0:37:01.479
<v Speaker 1>both shark? Was it like a cost Well, he played

0:37:01.480 --> 0:37:04.640
<v Speaker 1>it fabulous and he was very scary and he really

0:37:04.640 --> 0:37:07.879
<v Speaker 1>popped out. And my friend Dave Mazzoni played fire and

0:37:07.960 --> 0:37:11.040
<v Speaker 1>so he was sort of dancing fire and I was

0:37:11.080 --> 0:37:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the skipper and I would take people from the audience

0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:14.280
<v Speaker 1>and put them on a boat and there was water

0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:16.680
<v Speaker 1>effects and fire effects and sound effects, and I used

0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:20.480
<v Speaker 1>darkness and flashlights to make the boat house. So this

0:37:20.560 --> 0:37:22.680
<v Speaker 1>was a full thing that I did because it was

0:37:22.760 --> 0:37:24.480
<v Speaker 1>so real to me when I was a kid, like

0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:28.520
<v Speaker 1>only wanting to do that. And so one of the

0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:32.279
<v Speaker 1>big mistakes I think that that theme park chain has

0:37:32.360 --> 0:37:37.360
<v Speaker 1>made is in destroying their attractions that sort of actually

0:37:37.360 --> 0:37:41.280
<v Speaker 1>commemorate old classic movies. Your Jaws, Your back to the future,

0:37:41.360 --> 0:37:46.359
<v Speaker 1>which also hurts um and a terminator to I mean

0:37:46.400 --> 0:37:48.839
<v Speaker 1>getting a place with born identity, which is sort of

0:37:48.880 --> 0:37:51.239
<v Speaker 1>a slap in the face. Um. But all these things

0:37:51.239 --> 0:37:53.719
<v Speaker 1>are now gone, And so whenever I go to what

0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:57.080
<v Speaker 1>is an extended Harry Potter section, because now the grin

0:37:57.120 --> 0:38:00.880
<v Speaker 1>goots Bank and all that is where it's so funny.

0:38:00.880 --> 0:38:04.200
<v Speaker 1>They need one at Universal here, they really do, and

0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they'll figure it out, but it hurts to

0:38:06.719 --> 0:38:09.080
<v Speaker 1>know that I'm in that area where Jaws was because

0:38:09.120 --> 0:38:11.560
<v Speaker 1>it's so formative for me. And I also think if

0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:14.440
<v Speaker 1>you're going to be Universal and not have something themed

0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:16.440
<v Speaker 1>to Jaws, and it can't be that whack thing they

0:38:16.480 --> 0:38:18.640
<v Speaker 1>do on the studio tour, which is still kind of fun,

0:38:18.800 --> 0:38:23.640
<v Speaker 1>but comparison to your Jaws experience, in comparison to a

0:38:23.680 --> 0:38:25.880
<v Speaker 1>full five minute experience where you're on the boat and

0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:27.719
<v Speaker 1>Jaws is attacking the boat, I mean, this is just

0:38:27.760 --> 0:38:29.920
<v Speaker 1>something like if you didn't experience it as a child,

0:38:30.040 --> 0:38:33.759
<v Speaker 1>or like until it was closed, like really sad for you.

0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:36.959
<v Speaker 1>But here you are holding them accountable. And if you could,

0:38:37.040 --> 0:38:39.319
<v Speaker 1>if you could revive the Jaws ride and work on it,

0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:43.279
<v Speaker 1>would you give up everything you have in your career currently, Um,

0:38:43.320 --> 0:38:46.720
<v Speaker 1>everything but the money. Okay, so we make the same

0:38:46.719 --> 0:38:48.960
<v Speaker 1>salary working on the Jaws. What I want to do

0:38:49.000 --> 0:38:50.480
<v Speaker 1>is I want to figure it out on the same

0:38:50.560 --> 0:38:53.560
<v Speaker 1>level of fame. Yeah, yeah, same level of fame. And

0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm okay, you feel like you have fan accounts like

0:38:57.160 --> 0:38:59.799
<v Speaker 1>best for ever. If I could continue to live my

0:39:00.000 --> 0:39:03.560
<v Speaker 1>life style now and no, it wouldn't get better or worse,

0:39:03.680 --> 0:39:05.520
<v Speaker 1>and I would have to do the Jaws ride for

0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:07.080
<v Speaker 1>rest of my life. I think I could be happy

0:39:07.120 --> 0:39:08.680
<v Speaker 1>doing that. I think you could too, and I would

0:39:08.800 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 1>love to be on that boat. I think I would

0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:12.960
<v Speaker 1>give you a real thrill. And something I didn't realize

0:39:12.960 --> 0:39:15.480
<v Speaker 1>is that like I always would go like, especially when

0:39:15.480 --> 0:39:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I was younger, and I was like, these people aren't

0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:19.000
<v Speaker 1>giving it any energy, Like I don't believe at all

0:39:19.040 --> 0:39:21.160
<v Speaker 1>that they they're not. I would always think I could

0:39:21.160 --> 0:39:23.360
<v Speaker 1>do a better job than them, And then you realize,

0:39:23.400 --> 0:39:25.279
<v Speaker 1>like they do it fifty times in a row, like

0:39:25.360 --> 0:39:27.120
<v Speaker 1>they have to be speaking at this volume, they can't

0:39:27.160 --> 0:39:29.879
<v Speaker 1>be actually screaming. I'm surprised you never pushed someone off

0:39:29.880 --> 0:39:32.120
<v Speaker 1>the boat and took the mic. I'm surprised too, because

0:39:32.120 --> 0:39:47.000
<v Speaker 1>there was no seatbelts on that. Speaking of movie rides,

0:39:47.200 --> 0:39:51.080
<v Speaker 1>one of my favorite rides at MGM Studios was in

0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:54.319
<v Speaker 1>the Chinese Theater where you great great movie ride like

0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:56.879
<v Speaker 1>the part with with an Alien where the alien comes

0:39:56.880 --> 0:40:02.160
<v Speaker 1>out of the ceiling of different was an iconic Sigourney

0:40:02.280 --> 0:40:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Weaver animatronic if you go through all these different movies MGM.

0:40:06.760 --> 0:40:09.480
<v Speaker 1>So I'm interested to know what your favorite area of

0:40:09.520 --> 0:40:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Disney is because MGM Studios was definitely my favorite growing up.

0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:16.680
<v Speaker 1>The Tower of Terror is it to? I believe that

0:40:16.719 --> 0:40:20.239
<v Speaker 1>the Tower of Terror is is um the world's greatest

0:40:20.360 --> 0:40:22.759
<v Speaker 1>theme park attraction. That's how we ever seen the movie

0:40:22.800 --> 0:40:28.160
<v Speaker 1>starring Steve Guttenberger. Of course, of course, um yeah. I

0:40:28.160 --> 0:40:30.239
<v Speaker 1>I feel like Rose and I were discussing before you

0:40:30.280 --> 0:40:33.640
<v Speaker 1>came here that you you will inevitably be immortalized on

0:40:33.640 --> 0:40:36.200
<v Speaker 1>a theme park of some kind. I think I feel

0:40:36.200 --> 0:40:39.360
<v Speaker 1>like all my only goal is to book a film.

0:40:39.640 --> 0:40:41.319
<v Speaker 1>The only reason I'd even want to book like a

0:40:41.320 --> 0:40:45.440
<v Speaker 1>film franchise is to potentially star in a pre show

0:40:46.080 --> 0:40:48.000
<v Speaker 1>for a theme park attraction, like you know, Philly Serves,

0:40:48.040 --> 0:40:51.759
<v Speaker 1>shot is in Dinosaur And there's just certain actors that

0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:54.400
<v Speaker 1>pop up in these Disney theme park attractions. And by

0:40:54.440 --> 0:40:57.520
<v Speaker 1>the way, Julia Stiles just iconically booked the Born stunt show,

0:40:58.000 --> 0:40:59.680
<v Speaker 1>so she does the whole pre show and when I

0:40:59.680 --> 0:41:01.160
<v Speaker 1>tell you, I didn't know it was her. And when

0:41:01.160 --> 0:41:02.879
<v Speaker 1>I saw her pop up and she was like, I'm

0:41:02.960 --> 0:41:06.879
<v Speaker 1>Nicolette Parsons, I was like, I absolutely scream. Any think

0:41:06.960 --> 0:41:10.160
<v Speaker 1>she's just doing it as Julia Stiles, Well, I don't know,

0:41:10.239 --> 0:41:13.759
<v Speaker 1>because also canonically she's dead in the Born films. And

0:41:13.880 --> 0:41:15.919
<v Speaker 1>he even says she goes and he thought I died,

0:41:16.000 --> 0:41:17.640
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't, And I'm like, girl, you look dead

0:41:17.680 --> 0:41:21.040
<v Speaker 1>to me. The rides play fast and Loose with Cannon,

0:41:21.360 --> 0:41:24.960
<v Speaker 1>they really do? They really. One of the scariest rides

0:41:25.000 --> 0:41:26.759
<v Speaker 1>of my childhood was do you remember I don't know

0:41:26.800 --> 0:41:30.040
<v Speaker 1>if it still exists at Walt disney World, snow Whites

0:41:30.440 --> 0:41:33.919
<v Speaker 1>Scary than they have updated it to now they don't

0:41:33.920 --> 0:41:36.680
<v Speaker 1>have that anymore because no, it's now so there's now

0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:40.680
<v Speaker 1>like a bigger snow white thing us. It's not scary.

0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:42.880
<v Speaker 1>There's no witch at the end. There's a witch at

0:41:42.880 --> 0:41:44.880
<v Speaker 1>the end, and there's a witch throughout. But the thing

0:41:44.960 --> 0:41:48.920
<v Speaker 1>about snow White Scary Adventures is it was so small,

0:41:48.920 --> 0:41:51.000
<v Speaker 1>like like you were in that tiny little cart and

0:41:51.000 --> 0:41:53.600
<v Speaker 1>like you're literally moving through very small sets. Like that's

0:41:53.640 --> 0:41:55.400
<v Speaker 1>the cool thing about Fantasy Land, I think, is that

0:41:55.400 --> 0:41:57.200
<v Speaker 1>when you go in those little dark rides that's what

0:41:57.239 --> 0:42:00.440
<v Speaker 1>they're called, Like everything is very intimate and small. Like

0:42:00.480 --> 0:42:03.560
<v Speaker 1>if you ever do um Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Honey

0:42:03.560 --> 0:42:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Pop the Poppers, like you go to Hell at the end,

0:42:06.000 --> 0:42:08.080
<v Speaker 1>it literally ends in Hell and it feels like the

0:42:08.160 --> 0:42:11.360
<v Speaker 1>queerest ride. And it's also so small and like everything

0:42:11.360 --> 0:42:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that's happening is right on top of you. So in

0:42:13.080 --> 0:42:15.560
<v Speaker 1>that snow White Scary Adventure ride, the witch would pop

0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:19.640
<v Speaker 1>out and she'd be right there right That intimacy definitely

0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:21.560
<v Speaker 1>was terrifying to me as a kid. I remember it

0:42:21.680 --> 0:42:23.920
<v Speaker 1>vividly as a kid, and then I went back again

0:42:23.960 --> 0:42:26.320
<v Speaker 1>as an adult and I was like, this is absolutely honestly,

0:42:26.360 --> 0:42:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the ride is better than the movie. It was called

0:42:28.320 --> 0:42:30.759
<v Speaker 1>Snow White's Adventures, and they had to change the name

0:42:30.840 --> 0:42:33.560
<v Speaker 1>to snow White Scary Adventures because parents would be coming

0:42:33.560 --> 0:42:36.040
<v Speaker 1>off the ride like what the funk? Yeah, I like

0:42:35.800 --> 0:42:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I like park that is aiming to terrify and traumatize

0:42:39.600 --> 0:42:42.200
<v Speaker 1>a child, of course, because that is a formative experience.

0:42:42.200 --> 0:42:44.400
<v Speaker 1>That we all need. I still feel a little scared

0:42:44.520 --> 0:42:48.759
<v Speaker 1>atmospherically on Terror of terror do they do an incredible

0:42:49.120 --> 0:42:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Twilight Zone theme song and the fact that they've changed

0:42:52.160 --> 0:42:54.920
<v Speaker 1>it to what Guardians of the Galaxy in Disneyland, but

0:42:54.960 --> 0:42:58.920
<v Speaker 1>also the mission break up right is a bop? I

0:42:58.920 --> 0:43:01.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I also not been on it. I haven't.

0:43:01.239 --> 0:43:04.080
<v Speaker 1>But I also missed the Aerosmith roller coaster at MGM,

0:43:04.120 --> 0:43:08.279
<v Speaker 1>which it was Arrowsmith there. Yes, it's still there, it's

0:43:08.280 --> 0:43:12.320
<v Speaker 1>still standing tall. I haven't been to that in Orlando

0:43:12.400 --> 0:43:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Disney in a while. You actually have to go, because

0:43:14.760 --> 0:43:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you. Also, the Hollywood Studios is now completely

0:43:17.640 --> 0:43:20.319
<v Speaker 1>different and they have the Star Wars Land and Rose.

0:43:20.360 --> 0:43:23.040
<v Speaker 1>You have to do Rise of the Resistance. I the

0:43:23.440 --> 0:43:25.120
<v Speaker 1>last time I was at Disney, I tried to do

0:43:25.200 --> 0:43:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Rise of the Resistance and it was like a virtual

0:43:28.520 --> 0:43:33.759
<v Speaker 1>and you couldn't You couldn't get Star Wars shooter game. No,

0:43:34.360 --> 0:43:38.120
<v Speaker 1>it's confusing, it's it's it's they actually don't have that anymore.

0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:39.760
<v Speaker 1>And so now you can just get on the standby

0:43:39.800 --> 0:43:41.879
<v Speaker 1>line or like pay for like the Lightning Lane, which

0:43:41.880 --> 0:43:43.799
<v Speaker 1>isn't what they call the fast Past, but the Rise

0:43:43.840 --> 0:43:45.479
<v Speaker 1>of the resistance is like, first of all, it costs

0:43:45.520 --> 0:43:49.400
<v Speaker 1>a billion dollars, which we could debate whether or not

0:43:49.480 --> 0:43:51.239
<v Speaker 1>we needed to spend the money on that, but when

0:43:51.239 --> 0:43:53.919
<v Speaker 1>you're on it, it certainly is what would you rather?

0:43:54.280 --> 0:43:56.080
<v Speaker 1>What would you rather? They have spent the money on

0:43:58.280 --> 0:44:04.160
<v Speaker 1>public public schools? Of course? Health care? Health care? Yeah,

0:44:04.360 --> 0:44:06.080
<v Speaker 1>do you have if you were to, like, you know,

0:44:06.160 --> 0:44:07.880
<v Speaker 1>design a right on your own or if there is

0:44:07.920 --> 0:44:10.120
<v Speaker 1>there like a kind of entity where you were like,

0:44:10.160 --> 0:44:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I wish this was a ride? Have you thought about this?

0:44:13.000 --> 0:44:15.040
<v Speaker 1>You know? What I think they've gotten wrong every single

0:44:15.080 --> 0:44:19.160
<v Speaker 1>time is Fast and the Furious because they do that

0:44:19.280 --> 0:44:22.560
<v Speaker 1>stupid little bullshit in the studio tour where it's like

0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:26.480
<v Speaker 1>the screens are on either side or whatever. They in Orlando,

0:44:26.560 --> 0:44:29.520
<v Speaker 1>they made that a full attraction and it's so lame

0:44:29.560 --> 0:44:31.680
<v Speaker 1>and stupid. And I was like, if you have the

0:44:31.719 --> 0:44:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Fast and the Furious property, like make it a roller coaster.

0:44:34.360 --> 0:44:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Make it a racing roller coaster, you know what I mean? Like,

0:44:37.080 --> 0:44:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen a Fast and Furious movie, so I

0:44:39.080 --> 0:44:41.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know. But but if you, if you're universal and

0:44:41.880 --> 0:44:44.719
<v Speaker 1>you have that property, why are you making it a

0:44:44.760 --> 0:44:48.040
<v Speaker 1>simulated screen thing? I know, if they had to overhaul

0:44:48.160 --> 0:44:51.680
<v Speaker 1>dueling dragons, like you know, make it fasten. The fact,

0:44:51.840 --> 0:44:54.200
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like it's a waste of a property

0:44:54.280 --> 0:44:57.600
<v Speaker 1>because it's screaming out to be this like thing. And

0:44:57.640 --> 0:45:00.480
<v Speaker 1>it's also like definitely that company's biggest hit right now,

0:45:01.120 --> 0:45:03.560
<v Speaker 1>and I think like they messed it up in terms

0:45:03.600 --> 0:45:06.520
<v Speaker 1>of what they have. So I would say reimagining of

0:45:06.560 --> 0:45:09.400
<v Speaker 1>what fast Nefurious could be, and also I would bring

0:45:09.520 --> 0:45:12.880
<v Speaker 1>back Jaws and back to the future. I mean to

0:45:12.920 --> 0:45:16.279
<v Speaker 1>the Future was iconic. It was also is et does

0:45:16.320 --> 0:45:18.440
<v Speaker 1>that sound still there? Because he actually this is this

0:45:18.520 --> 0:45:21.520
<v Speaker 1>is the truth about ET. Steven Spielberg said he will

0:45:21.600 --> 0:45:23.600
<v Speaker 1>end his relationship with the company if they if they

0:45:23.640 --> 0:45:25.400
<v Speaker 1>demolished that ride, so they have to wait, they have

0:45:25.440 --> 0:45:27.640
<v Speaker 1>to wait until he dies. That is very queeny but

0:45:27.719 --> 0:45:31.480
<v Speaker 1>also a serve. Like there's a very iconic childhood photo

0:45:31.480 --> 0:45:33.600
<v Speaker 1>of me from the e T Ride. I don't really

0:45:33.640 --> 0:45:36.399
<v Speaker 1>like that movie though. It's kind of very and weird

0:45:36.480 --> 0:45:39.000
<v Speaker 1>for coming from my childhood. I just it's it's not

0:45:39.080 --> 0:45:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it's kind of e T is kind

0:45:41.000 --> 0:45:44.080
<v Speaker 1>of grotesque. I don't remember attaching to this. I couldn't

0:45:44.120 --> 0:45:46.719
<v Speaker 1>give a funk about you two. Yeah, I don't care.

0:45:46.960 --> 0:45:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm yeah, I just I don't know. It wasn't for me.

0:45:49.360 --> 0:45:52.120
<v Speaker 1>But I'm sorry, sorry, but I but I I love

0:45:52.200 --> 0:45:57.880
<v Speaker 1>that for you, genuinely. Sorry, perturb Um. Okay, Matt, I

0:45:57.920 --> 0:46:00.640
<v Speaker 1>feel like, you know, obviously pre show isn't it is

0:46:00.719 --> 0:46:03.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, gonna happen for you. But I also Rose

0:46:03.400 --> 0:46:06.440
<v Speaker 1>and I were talking about how you would probably fit

0:46:06.480 --> 0:46:09.040
<v Speaker 1>really nicely into like the Disney cinematic universe, Like I

0:46:09.080 --> 0:46:12.680
<v Speaker 1>think that'll be any I mean, once they allow fast technically,

0:46:12.719 --> 0:46:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I am in Fire Island because you know, you know

0:46:15.200 --> 0:46:19.279
<v Speaker 1>that Disney like owns and pays for it. So it's

0:46:19.280 --> 0:46:25.919
<v Speaker 1>Searchlight and comes to Epcot Studios. I will be a

0:46:26.000 --> 0:46:29.680
<v Speaker 1>star of it. So wait, I will tell you this.

0:46:29.680 --> 0:46:31.040
<v Speaker 1>This is going to be a spoiler for the movie.

0:46:31.680 --> 0:46:36.000
<v Speaker 1>I think I think I am the first person in

0:46:36.040 --> 0:46:39.280
<v Speaker 1>the main cast of a Disney film to get fucked

0:46:39.280 --> 0:46:43.440
<v Speaker 1>in the ass on camera. Wowow that would be. And

0:46:43.520 --> 0:46:45.920
<v Speaker 1>that's that's a ride? Is that? Yeah? I was gonna say,

0:46:46.040 --> 0:46:48.839
<v Speaker 1>is that like the end of the ride here it's

0:46:49.320 --> 0:46:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Luke's Bottom Adventure. Love that? But I will say, like

0:46:53.719 --> 0:46:56.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't take that lightly, no, And I don't think

0:46:56.800 --> 0:46:58.920
<v Speaker 1>that that makes me a Disney pretty don't take it,

0:46:59.760 --> 0:47:01.839
<v Speaker 1>and I don't take it lately, but I do take

0:47:01.840 --> 0:47:07.280
<v Speaker 1>it bare back from behind in your bottom era of course.

0:47:07.880 --> 0:47:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Um Okay, wow, that's amazing. That is a bit of

0:47:10.160 --> 0:47:14.439
<v Speaker 1>a spoiler, but like you know, because I just won't

0:47:14.480 --> 0:47:16.319
<v Speaker 1>be happy, will be happy about I was thinking more

0:47:16.480 --> 0:47:18.360
<v Speaker 1>like a I could see you as like a gay

0:47:18.520 --> 0:47:22.799
<v Speaker 1>James Marsden and enchanted. Actually incredible and very very kind

0:47:22.840 --> 0:47:27.960
<v Speaker 1>of you to say, I really really want that. Yeah,

0:47:28.000 --> 0:47:30.279
<v Speaker 1>and I'm willing to sell my soul for I know

0:47:30.320 --> 0:47:32.600
<v Speaker 1>that I've got a little taste, like I'm actually here

0:47:32.600 --> 0:47:34.600
<v Speaker 1>to sell that. I think if that show Once upon

0:47:34.640 --> 0:47:36.799
<v Speaker 1>a Time was still on, like you would be on

0:47:36.920 --> 0:47:39.879
<v Speaker 1>it as like some a real life version of some

0:47:40.800 --> 0:47:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Disney prints. Do you ever look back at the cast

0:47:42.800 --> 0:47:44.960
<v Speaker 1>of that show? It's a gag, it's since because they're

0:47:45.000 --> 0:47:47.480
<v Speaker 1>all super famous now. Sebastian Stan played the Mad Hatter.

0:47:48.840 --> 0:47:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I did not know that, my everything, that's crazy. I

0:47:52.120 --> 0:47:54.480
<v Speaker 1>had no idea did you. Did you have like a

0:47:54.480 --> 0:47:56.839
<v Speaker 1>favorite Disney entity growing up or one that was really

0:47:56.920 --> 0:47:58.840
<v Speaker 1>formative to you as a kid. Well, when I was

0:47:58.880 --> 0:48:03.400
<v Speaker 1>really little, I was like obsessed with Little Mermaid and

0:48:03.440 --> 0:48:04.759
<v Speaker 1>that was kind of the one for me. But I

0:48:04.800 --> 0:48:08.080
<v Speaker 1>remember being absolutely terrified of Ursula because I think I

0:48:08.120 --> 0:48:10.560
<v Speaker 1>was scared of what was inside myself, which is a

0:48:10.640 --> 0:48:14.600
<v Speaker 1>drag queen. Yeah. Well, by the way, you guys know,

0:48:14.719 --> 0:48:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Crystal Kongman got from Real House was of Beverly Hills, obviously. Obviously,

0:48:18.360 --> 0:48:20.759
<v Speaker 1>so her husband Rob, I don't know if you know this,

0:48:21.000 --> 0:48:25.600
<v Speaker 1>but he actually drew the original prototype for what Ursula

0:48:25.680 --> 0:48:28.480
<v Speaker 1>was gonna look like because he wasn't he he had

0:48:28.520 --> 0:48:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a gay roommate and the gay roommate was like obsessed

0:48:32.440 --> 0:48:35.000
<v Speaker 1>with divine and obsessed with drag queens and like exposing

0:48:35.040 --> 0:48:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Rob to all this, and so they were having a

0:48:36.840 --> 0:48:39.120
<v Speaker 1>really hard time figuring out with the design of Ursula

0:48:39.239 --> 0:48:40.880
<v Speaker 1>was going to be. And originally she was supposed to

0:48:40.920 --> 0:48:44.080
<v Speaker 1>be more like a a smelt like Cruella de Ville type,

0:48:44.120 --> 0:48:46.280
<v Speaker 1>like like Bitch of the Seed that was the sequel

0:48:46.480 --> 0:48:49.120
<v Speaker 1>The Mermaid. A Little Mermaids sequel had the sister that

0:48:49.160 --> 0:48:51.160
<v Speaker 1>was kind of like that. Yeah, yeah right, and so

0:48:51.360 --> 0:48:53.799
<v Speaker 1>um I think also that that became what Vanessa was

0:48:53.880 --> 0:49:02.400
<v Speaker 1>like when she when she that little ditty, she's like

0:49:02.440 --> 0:49:04.640
<v Speaker 1>giving you a cunt. I don't even know how that

0:49:04.640 --> 0:49:09.680
<v Speaker 1>little Mermaid on the ocean will be stunning, incredible, my

0:49:09.680 --> 0:49:12.879
<v Speaker 1>favorite part of the whole movie. But basically, Rob Minkoff

0:49:13.040 --> 0:49:17.400
<v Speaker 1>drew the original designed for Ursela that they ended up using,

0:49:17.960 --> 0:49:20.720
<v Speaker 1>and so that's actually part of how he proved himself

0:49:20.920 --> 0:49:24.640
<v Speaker 1>to direct Lion King is because he essentially created Ursela

0:49:24.719 --> 0:49:26.440
<v Speaker 1>and he was the one that was like, we should

0:49:26.440 --> 0:49:29.040
<v Speaker 1>base it on Divine the drag Queen, and which informed

0:49:29.040 --> 0:49:33.839
<v Speaker 1>obviously the casting of Pat Carroll, and that's queer history. Absolutely.

0:49:33.960 --> 0:49:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I had heard. I knew that like Divine Origin, but

0:49:36.560 --> 0:49:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know was Rob specifically Minkoff. It was Rob Minkoff,

0:49:39.960 --> 0:49:42.239
<v Speaker 1>and now it's going to be Melissa McCarthy and I

0:49:42.320 --> 0:49:44.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of wish it. I kind of wish it was Gaga.

0:49:47.840 --> 0:49:50.479
<v Speaker 1>It absolutely should have been. Absolutely and I'm not taking

0:49:50.560 --> 0:49:52.719
<v Speaker 1>anything away from Meliss McCarthy, but I know because she

0:49:52.800 --> 0:49:56.120
<v Speaker 1>will she will, she will eat and tear. But I

0:49:56.200 --> 0:49:59.600
<v Speaker 1>do think I know how she'll do it. It's kind

0:49:59.600 --> 0:50:01.920
<v Speaker 1>of vious, and I think Gaga would have found a

0:50:01.960 --> 0:50:09.359
<v Speaker 1>really psychotic way in I've also heard her poor unfortunate Souls.

0:50:07.120 --> 0:50:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh are you that? Yeah? I really wish it like

0:50:15.719 --> 0:50:18.120
<v Speaker 1>we did that as a complete bit and now to

0:50:18.160 --> 0:50:19.759
<v Speaker 1>the point where like I could sort of see them

0:50:19.760 --> 0:50:25.120
<v Speaker 1>doing it, but then it would be a waste of

0:50:25.120 --> 0:50:27.359
<v Speaker 1>bow and like Moe probably should play like some bigger part.

0:50:27.400 --> 0:50:29.759
<v Speaker 1>But like I do think like it's it got to

0:50:29.800 --> 0:50:32.840
<v Speaker 1>the point where like our managers actually reached out and

0:50:32.920 --> 0:50:38.680
<v Speaker 1>asked and they told in the movie that's a missed opportunity.

0:50:38.719 --> 0:50:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a huge, big mistake. Huge. There's a

0:50:41.239 --> 0:50:43.719
<v Speaker 1>lot of like you know, Disney crannies that you could play.

0:50:43.719 --> 0:50:47.239
<v Speaker 1>There's like Pain and Panic and Hercules. There are, you know,

0:50:47.400 --> 0:50:50.239
<v Speaker 1>an assortment of henchman if you will. I was there

0:50:50.280 --> 0:50:53.000
<v Speaker 1>for a Hercules ride or moment. There is gonna be

0:50:53.040 --> 0:50:55.959
<v Speaker 1>a live action movie, which is shocking to me because

0:50:55.960 --> 0:50:58.160
<v Speaker 1>you just told me that the cartoon was like a

0:50:58.200 --> 0:50:59.799
<v Speaker 1>total flop, which I didn't want because it was my

0:51:00.000 --> 0:51:03.959
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know it was. Maybe this is just because

0:51:04.000 --> 0:51:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm gay, but like I never gravitated towards the Disney

0:51:08.840 --> 0:51:13.600
<v Speaker 1>movies that starred men male characters, like even Aladdin. Ah,

0:51:14.200 --> 0:51:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I couldn't really get into it, Like forget

0:51:16.640 --> 0:51:20.279
<v Speaker 1>about jungle Book, Like I wasn't into them. I was

0:51:20.360 --> 0:51:23.160
<v Speaker 1>actually I don't really remember this but apparently I was

0:51:23.200 --> 0:51:27.000
<v Speaker 1>super obsessed with Robin Hood. Well, Robin Hood is hot

0:51:27.560 --> 0:51:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and also iconic socialists, yes, the Bernie Sanders of his time.

0:51:33.120 --> 0:51:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I really loved Beauty and the beast that was. That

0:51:36.480 --> 0:51:38.759
<v Speaker 1>was kind of kind of my favor. I did love

0:51:38.800 --> 0:51:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Little Mermaid and Untouchable. When I was a kid, we

0:51:42.280 --> 0:51:44.960
<v Speaker 1>had a bunk bed and I used to poke my

0:51:44.960 --> 0:51:46.680
<v Speaker 1>head through the slats of the bunk bed and pretend

0:51:46.719 --> 0:51:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I was aerial looking out of the porthole of the boat. Um.

0:51:50.120 --> 0:51:53.000
<v Speaker 1>And I definitely played Mermaid a lot in the pool.

0:51:53.440 --> 0:51:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I put all the silver ware in our house like

0:51:57.480 --> 0:51:59.440
<v Speaker 1>it's a dingle hop right. I was like, no, that's

0:51:59.480 --> 0:52:01.120
<v Speaker 1>silver ware and we have to use it to eat,

0:52:01.200 --> 0:52:02.600
<v Speaker 1>So get it the funk out of your hair, you

0:52:02.680 --> 0:52:05.719
<v Speaker 1>fucking filth. I'm just waiting for some TikTok where someone's like,

0:52:05.840 --> 0:52:08.359
<v Speaker 1>hair hack, columb your hair with the fork, and it's like,

0:52:08.400 --> 0:52:12.360
<v Speaker 1>it's what's gonna happen? Um. My favorite was definitely Hercules

0:52:12.400 --> 0:52:15.840
<v Speaker 1>growing up. I actually feel like it was sexually formative

0:52:15.880 --> 0:52:19.279
<v Speaker 1>to me as well. You want to yes, well, and

0:52:19.320 --> 0:52:21.640
<v Speaker 1>you wanted to be Meg. Here's that. I wanted to

0:52:21.640 --> 0:52:25.160
<v Speaker 1>be Meg, period. No chance no. One of the best

0:52:25.160 --> 0:52:27.719
<v Speaker 1>songs in like the Disney in the Disney Songbook. Um,

0:52:27.760 --> 0:52:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, uh, young Herk and old Hirk are

0:52:31.680 --> 0:52:34.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of exactly my types, like my two different types,

0:52:34.520 --> 0:52:37.440
<v Speaker 1>just like you know, really teeny tiny, fragile twings and

0:52:37.440 --> 0:52:40.040
<v Speaker 1>then like men that are so big that they don't

0:52:40.040 --> 0:52:42.879
<v Speaker 1>care if I live or die. Hercules. Hercules is an

0:52:43.000 --> 0:52:47.319
<v Speaker 1>M to M trans man, Yes, M Tom love that. Yeah.

0:52:47.360 --> 0:52:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Actually yeah, nothing in between though, Like it's either huge

0:52:51.160 --> 0:52:54.160
<v Speaker 1>or like absolutely could Yeah, he was hitting the human

0:52:54.160 --> 0:52:58.279
<v Speaker 1>growth hormone a little too hard for sure. That's why

0:52:58.280 --> 0:53:00.719
<v Speaker 1>it's such a queer story, is that you Herk is

0:53:00.800 --> 0:53:03.560
<v Speaker 1>on t was on a roll. The only thing he

0:53:03.640 --> 0:53:09.920
<v Speaker 1>was on was rolling. I really do think that, Um,

0:53:10.239 --> 0:53:11.839
<v Speaker 1>I would actually, I'm just going to throw this out

0:53:11.880 --> 0:53:15.680
<v Speaker 1>there to Disney. I would sell my soul because they're listening, honey.

0:53:16.280 --> 0:53:18.239
<v Speaker 1>I would sell my soul to play Hercules. And I

0:53:18.239 --> 0:53:21.240
<v Speaker 1>feel as a Greek American I have I have claimed

0:53:21.239 --> 0:53:23.719
<v Speaker 1>to that the Kumon and Johnny body plan that they

0:53:23.760 --> 0:53:26.279
<v Speaker 1>would put you on, that would be that's worth like

0:53:26.360 --> 0:53:28.600
<v Speaker 1>thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars a month. Like

0:53:28.640 --> 0:53:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm willing to make it my whole year just getting

0:53:31.800 --> 0:53:34.319
<v Speaker 1>into shape for it. That would be my drink. I

0:53:34.320 --> 0:53:37.720
<v Speaker 1>can't go out. I'm getting into shape for herk no drinking.

0:53:37.840 --> 0:53:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I can't. I can't have a sip of that alcohol.

0:53:39.880 --> 0:53:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Every morning you wake up, you eat forty seven eggs,

0:53:43.000 --> 0:53:46.319
<v Speaker 1>raw eggs, like just like gust On, just like, oh

0:53:46.360 --> 0:53:49.239
<v Speaker 1>my god, I am. I am so upset that the

0:53:49.280 --> 0:53:52.319
<v Speaker 1>gast On TV show isn't happening, only because of Rita Aura.

0:53:52.880 --> 0:53:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I was looking contextualized this. Wait, wait, was it was

0:53:56.400 --> 0:53:58.480
<v Speaker 1>that green lit? And then now, yeah, I was never

0:53:58.520 --> 0:54:00.239
<v Speaker 1>heard it was so it was going to be it

0:54:00.280 --> 0:54:03.000
<v Speaker 1>was going to be a prequel starring Gaston and Lafu

0:54:03.160 --> 0:54:06.720
<v Speaker 1>about I guess maybe them being gay, and Rita Aura

0:54:06.920 --> 0:54:09.240
<v Speaker 1>was announced to be in it. She did a grid

0:54:09.440 --> 0:54:12.680
<v Speaker 1>post and then like a week later, Disney was like,

0:54:12.840 --> 0:54:17.040
<v Speaker 1>just kidding, this isn't happening, probably because of timing or whatever.

0:54:17.960 --> 0:54:19.920
<v Speaker 1>All the time like that. This is the difference between

0:54:19.960 --> 0:54:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Disney and like Universal is Disney will rocket their load

0:54:24.200 --> 0:54:26.399
<v Speaker 1>off being like here's everything that's happening in the next

0:54:26.440 --> 0:54:31.759
<v Speaker 1>ten years, and half of it won't happen, and Universal

0:54:31.840 --> 0:54:35.640
<v Speaker 1>will literally build an attraction without announcing it and then

0:54:35.680 --> 0:54:39.000
<v Speaker 1>when it's done, they'll be like coming soon this and

0:54:39.080 --> 0:54:40.840
<v Speaker 1>I was like, yeah, we've been seeing it. In fact,

0:54:41.280 --> 0:54:44.360
<v Speaker 1>when I went to Universal Um while they were building

0:54:44.400 --> 0:54:49.040
<v Speaker 1>the Veiloscopy coaster, I asked a ride like like a

0:54:49.080 --> 0:54:51.160
<v Speaker 1>person like working a food stand. I was like, when

0:54:51.200 --> 0:54:54.040
<v Speaker 1>is this opening? Because it wasn't announced, and she goes,

0:54:54.640 --> 0:54:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I actually don't know what you're talking about, and I

0:54:57.480 --> 0:54:59.440
<v Speaker 1>was and I was like, I was like, seriously, like

0:54:59.480 --> 0:55:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you can't tell me, like because because it's not announced.

0:55:02.200 --> 0:55:05.640
<v Speaker 1>She goes, I mean theoretically, like I don't even really

0:55:05.640 --> 0:55:08.840
<v Speaker 1>know what that is, but like maybe spring summer. And

0:55:08.840 --> 0:55:13.040
<v Speaker 1>then a little red laser pointer appeared on her forehead

0:55:13.120 --> 0:55:14.840
<v Speaker 1>and she was taken and I was like, mom, a

0:55:14.920 --> 0:55:17.040
<v Speaker 1>blink three times if you need hup. I didn't know

0:55:17.080 --> 0:55:19.320
<v Speaker 1>that there was like a Disney power over the Universals.

0:55:19.400 --> 0:55:23.960
<v Speaker 1>They are so in character at all times, like imagineers

0:55:24.280 --> 0:55:26.920
<v Speaker 1>love it. At the Pandora World, if you asked them

0:55:27.120 --> 0:55:31.080
<v Speaker 1>about the movie, they call it the documentary. At Star

0:55:31.080 --> 0:55:33.319
<v Speaker 1>Wars Galaxy's Edge, if you ask them about the Star

0:55:33.320 --> 0:55:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Wars movie, they call them the legends. By the way,

0:55:36.960 --> 0:55:38.960
<v Speaker 1>when when you do go on rise at the resistance,

0:55:39.120 --> 0:55:42.360
<v Speaker 1>the spoiler alert, they get captured by the like a

0:55:42.440 --> 0:55:44.560
<v Speaker 1>first order or whatever. I didn't want to know that,

0:55:45.000 --> 0:55:47.360
<v Speaker 1>just kidding. These theme park rights are full method. That

0:55:47.480 --> 0:55:54.040
<v Speaker 1>is like sky it's giving and then it's giving. Yeah. Um,

0:55:54.280 --> 0:55:56.600
<v Speaker 1>did you ever work with six Flags? Yeah, for sure

0:55:56.800 --> 0:55:58.680
<v Speaker 1>did because I grew up in the Midwest and we

0:55:58.680 --> 0:56:01.319
<v Speaker 1>would take like our class trips there. I remember this

0:56:01.520 --> 0:56:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the it was either a Superman roller coaster or a

0:56:03.800 --> 0:56:06.719
<v Speaker 1>Batman roller coaster that went truly like you go up

0:56:06.760 --> 0:56:09.920
<v Speaker 1>and then you go straight down. You're thinking of. It's

0:56:09.960 --> 0:56:13.640
<v Speaker 1>called the Chiller, and um it was in a Great Adventure.

0:56:13.680 --> 0:56:15.279
<v Speaker 1>Did you ever get a six Flags Great Adventure in

0:56:15.280 --> 0:56:18.440
<v Speaker 1>New Jersey? No? Maybe, So that's like the one that

0:56:18.520 --> 0:56:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I grew up around, and it had something called Batman

0:56:20.520 --> 0:56:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and Robin the Chiller, which is one red car in

0:56:23.040 --> 0:56:24.880
<v Speaker 1>one blue car, which sort of race and one of

0:56:24.920 --> 0:56:26.560
<v Speaker 1>them went up and down another one like did like

0:56:26.600 --> 0:56:29.600
<v Speaker 1>a flip. But six Flags, I mean that is the

0:56:29.680 --> 0:56:31.799
<v Speaker 1>roller coaster haven. Like, if you want to go get

0:56:31.840 --> 0:56:34.960
<v Speaker 1>absolutely tossed and turned, you go to six Flags, either

0:56:35.000 --> 0:56:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Magic Mountain or Great Adventure. That's West Coast, East Coast,

0:56:37.520 --> 0:56:39.000
<v Speaker 1>and then all the other ones are sort of like

0:56:39.440 --> 0:56:42.520
<v Speaker 1>second tier. Um, how much acid do you think like

0:56:42.600 --> 0:56:45.560
<v Speaker 1>the six Flags marketing exects did in order to invent

0:56:45.800 --> 0:56:50.279
<v Speaker 1>the six Flags Guy, because that was like absolutely a

0:56:50.280 --> 0:56:52.880
<v Speaker 1>moment in culture. I think he already I think he

0:56:53.000 --> 0:56:55.719
<v Speaker 1>already other commercial was the six Live commercial. I think

0:56:55.719 --> 0:56:58.240
<v Speaker 1>he already existed and six Flags was kind of built

0:56:58.280 --> 0:57:02.359
<v Speaker 1>around him. Yeah. Yeah, that makes more sense than them

0:57:02.360 --> 0:57:04.680
<v Speaker 1>coming up with him as a result of like, well

0:57:04.719 --> 0:57:06.239
<v Speaker 1>we have this part, who do we get to be

0:57:06.280 --> 0:57:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the face of it? He's like an immortal entity that

0:57:08.480 --> 0:57:10.680
<v Speaker 1>has existed since the dawn of time. And also that

0:57:10.760 --> 0:57:15.680
<v Speaker 1>insane song that Benga like they picked. I think it's

0:57:15.719 --> 0:57:19.360
<v Speaker 1>crazy because it is objectively the most annoying song in

0:57:19.400 --> 0:57:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the world. Yeah, it's also so fun. We were just

0:57:21.280 --> 0:57:23.040
<v Speaker 1>listening to it when we were in josh Are on

0:57:23.120 --> 0:57:25.320
<v Speaker 1>vacation last week by the pool, and it was kind

0:57:25.360 --> 0:57:28.360
<v Speaker 1>of the moment. It's hyper pop. It invented hyperpop. It did.

0:57:28.480 --> 0:57:31.120
<v Speaker 1>It is Charlie x X. There is no Charlie x

0:57:31.280 --> 0:57:35.800
<v Speaker 1>X without and that's actually a little culture. There is

0:57:35.840 --> 0:57:45.080
<v Speaker 1>no name. Probably Daddy. Have you seen Katie Katie Gavin

0:57:45.160 --> 0:57:49.640
<v Speaker 1>from Muna's um six Flags Guy costume for Halloween this year,

0:57:49.760 --> 0:57:52.480
<v Speaker 1>she and her sister who I think she's her sister

0:57:52.560 --> 0:57:54.600
<v Speaker 1>is younger, but like they look exactly the same. They

0:57:54.600 --> 0:57:57.040
<v Speaker 1>were both the six Flags guy with like you know,

0:57:57.480 --> 0:58:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I can see that that's for her, and it was

0:58:01.200 --> 0:58:04.000
<v Speaker 1>hunting chilling. They played the Thing Boy song at least

0:58:04.000 --> 0:58:07.360
<v Speaker 1>three times. I didn't spend a lot of time at

0:58:07.400 --> 0:58:10.000
<v Speaker 1>six Flags, but outside of going to Disney and Universal

0:58:10.000 --> 0:58:11.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot growing up, I spent a lot of time

0:58:11.720 --> 0:58:16.720
<v Speaker 1>at state fairs and Renaissance fairs. Yeah, that was less

0:58:16.760 --> 0:58:20.440
<v Speaker 1>my situation, but I definitely whenever there was like, um,

0:58:20.800 --> 0:58:23.439
<v Speaker 1>like an amusement park for a day, like they would

0:58:23.440 --> 0:58:26.959
<v Speaker 1>set it up in town, I was always like extremely

0:58:27.160 --> 0:58:29.880
<v Speaker 1>unconcerned about this with the safety. I was like, no,

0:58:29.880 --> 0:58:31.800
<v Speaker 1>no, no no, we're going and we're doing everything. That's great.

0:58:32.360 --> 0:58:35.320
<v Speaker 1>And now it's like you kind of get the sense

0:58:35.360 --> 0:58:37.959
<v Speaker 1>that accidents happened there all the time. It's like full

0:58:38.120 --> 0:58:44.880
<v Speaker 1>carniv Nightmare Alley Boots scarier than Nightmare. All we'll get

0:58:44.920 --> 0:58:50.440
<v Speaker 1>more deformed. You ever been in a dunk tank? You

0:58:50.480 --> 0:58:54.440
<v Speaker 1>know what? I've done a dunk tank. I've been dunked

0:58:54.920 --> 0:58:57.960
<v Speaker 1>and I would never do it again because, like I

0:58:58.000 --> 0:59:00.840
<v Speaker 1>genuinely feel like it's just like if it's like signing

0:59:00.880 --> 0:59:04.520
<v Speaker 1>up for an ear infection. Yeah, it's genuinely dangerous. It's like,

0:59:04.600 --> 0:59:07.320
<v Speaker 1>let me here, let me opt into something that will

0:59:07.360 --> 0:59:10.000
<v Speaker 1>be painful for me and potentially cause hearing loss. Yeah.

0:59:10.040 --> 0:59:11.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to do it again because I delve

0:59:11.480 --> 0:59:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the water is chlorinated and I know the second I'm

0:59:13.800 --> 0:59:16.800
<v Speaker 1>hitting the water, I'm pissing. Yeah, so of course I

0:59:17.160 --> 0:59:19.440
<v Speaker 1>almost everybody of water, so do I Frand wouldn't let

0:59:19.480 --> 0:59:21.720
<v Speaker 1>me pee in the pool at our Joshua? Why? I

0:59:22.000 --> 0:59:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't a cop about it, but I was like,

0:59:24.160 --> 0:59:27.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, the toilet is literally right there. You're going

0:59:27.680 --> 0:59:31.480
<v Speaker 1>to love it. Yeah, I mean, look, I I'm need

0:59:31.480 --> 0:59:34.200
<v Speaker 1>to drink piss consensually, but maybe not in a pool

0:59:34.200 --> 0:59:38.040
<v Speaker 1>of chlorinated water. It becomes the water. Yeah. What's your

0:59:38.120 --> 0:59:41.080
<v Speaker 1>favorite food to eat at a theme park? Because I

0:59:41.120 --> 0:59:43.320
<v Speaker 1>think food is a very important part of the experience.

0:59:43.360 --> 0:59:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Chicken fingers is a great answer. Chicken fingers on like

0:59:47.080 --> 0:59:49.960
<v Speaker 1>a basket of fried scenario. Absolutely, there really some buffalo

0:59:49.960 --> 0:59:52.760
<v Speaker 1>sauce and some barbecue. It's a good food to have

0:59:52.960 --> 0:59:56.600
<v Speaker 1>to be mobile. If you're walking around walking hold a basket. Yeah,

0:59:56.640 --> 0:59:58.840
<v Speaker 1>you can wait in line for a ride while eating

0:59:58.920 --> 1:00:02.040
<v Speaker 1>chicken fingers. I I love a turkey leg the same.

1:00:02.120 --> 1:00:03.840
<v Speaker 1>But also the thing about the turkey leg is I

1:00:03.880 --> 1:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>always think they're better in theory than practice because they

1:00:06.200 --> 1:00:08.640
<v Speaker 1>really are a mess. There's so much more of it

1:00:08.640 --> 1:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>than you could ever imagine, and they're kind of like

1:00:10.440 --> 1:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>stringy and like you have to do a lot of

1:00:12.800 --> 1:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>teeth work, and there's no way to eat it sexy. No,

1:00:15.320 --> 1:00:17.200
<v Speaker 1>there's no way to eat it sexy. I think we

1:00:17.240 --> 1:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>can try. I would actually surprised. Oh I I literally can.

1:00:24.080 --> 1:00:26.440
<v Speaker 1>But wait. The thing about turkey is it has tripped

1:00:26.440 --> 1:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>a fan you want and tired. I love that you

1:00:32.120 --> 1:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>that Oh wow, you've been sending so much time around bow.

1:00:34.720 --> 1:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>You know your chemistry? Um, okay, b used to be

1:00:39.360 --> 1:00:42.080
<v Speaker 1>a chemistry major. He mean he not even used to be.

1:00:42.120 --> 1:00:45.920
<v Speaker 1>He is and forever will best degree in chemistry. I

1:00:45.960 --> 1:00:47.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't even know he finished it. That's so funny. I

1:00:47.840 --> 1:00:50.760
<v Speaker 1>think he has like a Bachelor of Arts in chemistry,

1:00:50.800 --> 1:00:52.600
<v Speaker 1>though he has like he doesn't have like a Bachelor

1:00:52.640 --> 1:00:59.040
<v Speaker 1>of Sciences. He has a big fat as chemically. No,

1:00:59.600 --> 1:01:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a true thing. Though I think he

1:01:01.080 --> 1:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>has a b a. In chemistry, and I don't know how.

1:01:03.640 --> 1:01:06.439
<v Speaker 1>I think that's because I don't know exactly how that works,

1:01:06.440 --> 1:01:09.040
<v Speaker 1>but I'm almost positive that's what chemistry is an art

1:01:09.080 --> 1:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>form if you think about it, I wonder what you

1:01:11.160 --> 1:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>need to study to be an imagineer. I, well, it's

1:01:14.160 --> 1:01:17.400
<v Speaker 1>actually so much more engineering than you think, because that

1:01:17.440 --> 1:01:20.040
<v Speaker 1>makes sense. Well no, but literally, like I always thought,

1:01:20.040 --> 1:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>like when I was a kid, because I would always

1:01:21.360 --> 1:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>be on Real Question Tycoon and think I want to

1:01:23.080 --> 1:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>do this for a living with and then you find

1:01:24.800 --> 1:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>out exactly what it entails. And it's not like you

1:01:26.880 --> 1:01:29.040
<v Speaker 1>brainstorm and like, Okay, what can Cinderella get up to

1:01:29.160 --> 1:01:33.600
<v Speaker 1>in this theme? It's like it's not about co sign,

1:01:33.840 --> 1:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>tangent or whatever the fun. Yeah you are you actually

1:01:37.560 --> 1:01:41.440
<v Speaker 1>actually have you ever thought that you were going to

1:01:41.480 --> 1:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>die on a ride? Because I have. I think I

1:01:46.040 --> 1:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>was going to die, you know what. Okay, this iconically happened,

1:01:49.000 --> 1:01:52.160
<v Speaker 1>um when I was on well, when I was on

1:01:52.400 --> 1:01:55.520
<v Speaker 1>X two at six Flags. That is the scariest ride

1:01:55.520 --> 1:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I've ever done. But I also I have been skydiving,

1:01:57.760 --> 1:01:59.919
<v Speaker 1>so I've actually done things that have been close to death.

1:02:00.280 --> 1:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>But thematically I remember when Bowen Yang, Dave Mazzony and

1:02:03.440 --> 1:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I went the three of us to Disney World, like

1:02:05.320 --> 1:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>probably five or six years ago. We Dave had made

1:02:08.800 --> 1:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>these rice Crispy treats that were that had marijuana in them,

1:02:12.000 --> 1:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>and they were I've never been more high in my life.

1:02:14.760 --> 1:02:17.160
<v Speaker 1>And we were just truly like slobbering and making noise

1:02:17.160 --> 1:02:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the whole time, and we were having so much fun.

1:02:18.720 --> 1:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>But we got on the Tower of Terror and it

1:02:21.080 --> 1:02:24.920
<v Speaker 1>broke down halfway through, like right after we as as

1:02:25.240 --> 1:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>canonically in the car had entered the Twilight Zone, and

1:02:28.360 --> 1:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>so that's the scariest part where you could break down.

1:02:31.240 --> 1:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>And literally we were so high and just like sitting

1:02:33.560 --> 1:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>there and like it's dark, and we had we had

1:02:35.800 --> 1:02:39.160
<v Speaker 1>committed so hard to the reality that literally someone like

1:02:39.320 --> 1:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>we were sitting there for like five minutes and it

1:02:41.160 --> 1:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>was full dark, and we're again in the Twilight Zone.

1:02:44.000 --> 1:02:47.000
<v Speaker 1>So we're sitting there like literally baked, and someone just

1:02:47.080 --> 1:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>comes in like enters the frame and we were like

1:02:50.120 --> 1:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, sir, and they were like, hey, so you

1:02:52.560 --> 1:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>guys have to just get out of the car and

1:02:54.040 --> 1:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>walk into the set and come down with us, And

1:02:56.160 --> 1:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>like I was just like that's walk into the Twilight Zone.

1:03:00.480 --> 1:03:02.640
<v Speaker 1>They were like, they were like, yeah, yes, we have

1:03:02.680 --> 1:03:04.720
<v Speaker 1>to walk into the pilots and like the Disney person

1:03:04.800 --> 1:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>is still like half heartedly keeping it up and also

1:03:06.920 --> 1:03:08.920
<v Speaker 1>like come on bags, let's go, and so we were like,

1:03:08.960 --> 1:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, like as the girls coming again us,

1:03:11.040 --> 1:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>we seriously walked out, stepped off the set into literally

1:03:14.360 --> 1:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>like an industrial looking elevator area and I was like,

1:03:16.840 --> 1:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>oh fuck, like and they're like, yes, when I go again,

1:03:19.160 --> 1:03:20.920
<v Speaker 1>and we're like, yeah, I guess. But then none. It

1:03:21.000 --> 1:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>was forever ruined because you know, it's not really the

1:03:23.200 --> 1:03:35.880
<v Speaker 1>Twilight The illusion was broken and broke my buzz. Maybe

1:03:35.880 --> 1:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>a Taylor Swift will have a theme park, you know

1:03:38.760 --> 1:03:43.320
<v Speaker 1>someone actually someone on Twitter like made of tell us

1:03:43.320 --> 1:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>sort of theme park. You've got to find it, and

1:03:45.040 --> 1:03:46.880
<v Speaker 1>they drew the whole map for it and described all

1:03:47.000 --> 1:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>rise like based on all of her like songs, and

1:03:49.560 --> 1:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>it was fucking great. It was so much fun. That

1:03:53.320 --> 1:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>would have a market, I mean more so than Tyra

1:03:55.880 --> 1:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Banks Model Land, which was also supposed to happen, but

1:03:58.480 --> 1:04:00.680
<v Speaker 1>like that, I think like a tailor theme park. Was

1:04:00.720 --> 1:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>that a casualty of the pandemic that that didn't happen. Well,

1:04:02.840 --> 1:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember we talked about We talked about it

1:04:04.520 --> 1:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>on a previous episode, but I don't think it was

1:04:06.640 --> 1:04:08.600
<v Speaker 1>a pandemic casualty. I think it was something that just

1:04:08.640 --> 1:04:11.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't happen, because it sounds insane. I mean you think

1:04:11.120 --> 1:04:13.320
<v Speaker 1>you think to yourself like, oh, she's a singer, she

1:04:13.360 --> 1:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>can't have a theme park with them. But have you

1:04:16.120 --> 1:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>been to Dollywood? Because so good I've heard. It's not

1:04:20.840 --> 1:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>what you want to know, it's so fun. It's actually

1:04:23.520 --> 1:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>it was so surprising because I went expecting like a

1:04:27.600 --> 1:04:30.920
<v Speaker 1>little rinky dink kind of state fair thing, and it

1:04:31.040 --> 1:04:34.640
<v Speaker 1>is a full on theme park. And my favorite ride

1:04:34.800 --> 1:04:38.200
<v Speaker 1>was there is a mining roller coaster that's like a

1:04:38.280 --> 1:04:41.720
<v Speaker 1>dark ride, and it was so fun, and the theme

1:04:41.760 --> 1:04:45.160
<v Speaker 1>park is huge and expansive. And I was there right

1:04:45.160 --> 1:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>before Halloween, so it was all dressed for Halloween. And

1:04:48.560 --> 1:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>I also met Dolly like three times. So I can't

1:04:51.160 --> 1:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>believe you went to Pigeon Forge. Well, it was for

1:04:54.160 --> 1:04:56.360
<v Speaker 1>it was a it was a press thing. It was

1:04:56.440 --> 1:05:00.760
<v Speaker 1>for the junket for her Netflix show, So so it

1:05:00.880 --> 1:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>was like we interview Dolly heart Strings day one. We

1:05:05.560 --> 1:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>interviewed Dolly. Then the next day we got a full

1:05:08.720 --> 1:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>free day at Dollywood, and then the next day was

1:05:11.240 --> 1:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>the premiere of heart Strings, which was at Dollywood. That's amazing,

1:05:15.120 --> 1:05:19.200
<v Speaker 1>she an absolutely, She's so fun, so such a legend,

1:05:19.320 --> 1:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>so sweet. Clocked me immediately. It was great, love it. Wow.

1:05:23.720 --> 1:05:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean we have to go at some point, we do.

1:05:26.040 --> 1:05:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I've heard also that like the patrons of Dollywood are

1:05:28.480 --> 1:05:33.040
<v Speaker 1>like shockingly diverse, like you would kind of gore. Didn't that?

1:05:33.160 --> 1:05:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh really, I heard that it's very very very like

1:05:36.600 --> 1:05:39.760
<v Speaker 1>giving red stake. That was not my experience. I mean

1:05:39.800 --> 1:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe it was because I was there with a bunch

1:05:41.280 --> 1:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>of journalists, but like I did see plenty of patrons

1:05:44.600 --> 1:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>who were, you know, like who seemed queer. Um. They

1:05:49.520 --> 1:05:52.760
<v Speaker 1>did give us all Dolly bucks to spend, which is

1:05:52.800 --> 1:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>a currency that exists there, and we were able to

1:05:55.160 --> 1:05:57.880
<v Speaker 1>spend it on food, but I ended up not using

1:05:57.920 --> 1:05:59.720
<v Speaker 1>any of them, so I gave them to some very

1:05:59.760 --> 1:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>nice gaze that I saw Dolly buck to like usd

1:06:03.400 --> 1:06:08.280
<v Speaker 1>like conversion. I think Dolly Dolly bucks are are better start.

1:06:10.240 --> 1:06:14.360
<v Speaker 1>That's what a crypto also have. They have like and

1:06:14.600 --> 1:06:17.440
<v Speaker 1>they have like one of the world renowned best wooden

1:06:17.480 --> 1:06:20.600
<v Speaker 1>roller coasters, in the country. I went on, you love

1:06:21.120 --> 1:06:25.600
<v Speaker 1>love a rickety Racketty, I love a rickets And they

1:06:25.600 --> 1:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>have a replica of Dolly's childhood home that might in

1:06:29.280 --> 1:06:33.360
<v Speaker 1>my Tennessee Mountain home. So cool that would actually make

1:06:33.440 --> 1:06:35.560
<v Speaker 1>me weep, and I'm not I say that with no physicians.

1:06:35.640 --> 1:06:38.800
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's like the size of this studio and

1:06:38.960 --> 1:06:41.440
<v Speaker 1>right now, So that's really cool. I mean. Also, the

1:06:41.480 --> 1:06:44.320
<v Speaker 1>thing that's cool about her is like she completely supports

1:06:44.360 --> 1:06:47.600
<v Speaker 1>the ecosystem of that whole city that the park. So

1:06:47.640 --> 1:06:50.800
<v Speaker 1>she basically literally revolutionized her hometown with that and like

1:06:51.280 --> 1:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>people their work and you know, revolutionized and radicalized. And

1:06:54.920 --> 1:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>she told them all to read basically, I mean, she

1:06:56.840 --> 1:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>has that literacy program. We're all going to Dollywood to

1:06:59.800 --> 1:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>that code of Many Colors, more like city of many

1:07:02.400 --> 1:07:08.600
<v Speaker 1>employed people is going to take us straight to Dollar

1:07:10.200 --> 1:07:12.800
<v Speaker 1>is getting is driving off a bridge and you know it.

1:07:13.840 --> 1:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>If you do go to Orlando and you only have

1:07:17.000 --> 1:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>a short amount of time, make it stay at the

1:07:20.720 --> 1:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Universal Orlando Resort because if you stay in a good

1:07:24.600 --> 1:07:27.000
<v Speaker 1>hotel there, you use your room key to get to

1:07:27.040 --> 1:07:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the frontal line on every ride. He doesn't for the

1:07:31.320 --> 1:07:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Virgin And is that no code Virgin and make sure

1:07:33.800 --> 1:07:36.520
<v Speaker 1>you tell that to all the ride off exactly what

1:07:36.560 --> 1:07:38.640
<v Speaker 1>you're talking. But if you stay at a hard Rock Hotel,

1:07:39.360 --> 1:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>the Portofino Bay Hotel or the Royal Pacific Hotel, any

1:07:42.560 --> 1:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>of those three, which are really good hotels, you get

1:07:45.640 --> 1:07:47.840
<v Speaker 1>to stay right on the resort and you're very close

1:07:47.880 --> 1:07:49.600
<v Speaker 1>to theme parks. And if you show them your room

1:07:49.720 --> 1:07:53.280
<v Speaker 1>key at the front of every single attraction, almost they

1:07:53.360 --> 1:07:54.960
<v Speaker 1>let you to the front of the line. And it's

1:07:55.000 --> 1:07:59.280
<v Speaker 1>only those three hotels or you just like those three, Wow,

1:07:59.320 --> 1:08:02.960
<v Speaker 1>that really is a hack. Any other prescriptions for Universal

1:08:03.040 --> 1:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Lower six flags or anything like that. For versions Mary Walk,

1:08:07.920 --> 1:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>you have to Mama, just don't look back back at

1:08:11.800 --> 1:08:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Margarite of Ville City Walk. It's an absolute dream. And

1:08:14.280 --> 1:08:19.320
<v Speaker 1>joy I also would say, um, the Tooth Somems Chocolate Emporium,

1:08:19.360 --> 1:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>that's very good for all my people that want sweet

1:08:22.479 --> 1:08:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and savory. Yeah, what's the candy store that's there. It's

1:08:25.760 --> 1:08:31.280
<v Speaker 1>sugar sugar that horrifies me. And then in the theme

1:08:31.320 --> 1:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>park itself at Islands Adventure, there's a really cute restaurant

1:08:33.920 --> 1:08:36.320
<v Speaker 1>called Mythos, which is right next to which in the

1:08:36.400 --> 1:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Lost Continent area. Wait Poseidon's Adventure. It's open again. It's

1:08:42.200 --> 1:08:44.559
<v Speaker 1>open again. Shut that one down for years because of

1:08:44.560 --> 1:08:46.559
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic. It's so fun, although I wish it was

1:08:46.840 --> 1:08:49.400
<v Speaker 1>something that was you were moved through rather than having

1:08:49.400 --> 1:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>to walk. You do have to walk through it, but

1:08:51.520 --> 1:08:55.040
<v Speaker 1>that that ride actually has like iconic acting. It does

1:08:55.240 --> 1:08:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and there's never a line. This is universal Yes Adventure,

1:08:59.640 --> 1:09:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Okay Aventure, Poseidon's Fury. Basically, it's a battle between the

1:09:03.880 --> 1:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Poseidon and his enemy. That's all I'll say. It's given

1:09:08.360 --> 1:09:11.919
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the universal version of the Haunted Mansion,

1:09:12.000 --> 1:09:14.920
<v Speaker 1>but not as fun, and you have to walk through it. Okay.

1:09:15.000 --> 1:09:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Verdicts on the Haunted Mansion, Love Love Love, Pirates of

1:09:20.640 --> 1:09:24.479
<v Speaker 1>the Caribbean. This is my most controversial opinion. Parts of

1:09:24.520 --> 1:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>the Caribbean is such an iconic flop to me, the ride,

1:09:28.400 --> 1:09:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the ride. Do you hate the movie as well? I

1:09:32.120 --> 1:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>can't stand. Oh, I'm not the ass fell asleep during

1:09:38.280 --> 1:09:42.559
<v Speaker 1>dead Man's Chest You this is actually you don't understand

1:09:42.600 --> 1:09:45.200
<v Speaker 1>how important Parts of the Caribbean is too, Rose like.

1:09:45.400 --> 1:09:48.559
<v Speaker 1>I watch it once a quarter. I feel Here's what

1:09:48.600 --> 1:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll say. I like the like the first movie more

1:09:51.400 --> 1:09:53.760
<v Speaker 1>than I like the franchise. The first movie, I think, yeah,

1:09:53.800 --> 1:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>it's all about Curse of the Black Pearl, right, so

1:09:56.439 --> 1:10:00.280
<v Speaker 1>that one I like, I can't stand the sequel and

1:10:00.360 --> 1:10:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the ride bores me to death. I love the ride.

1:10:03.720 --> 1:10:07.080
<v Speaker 1>That's it's okay that we have a different opinion, even

1:10:07.160 --> 1:10:09.360
<v Speaker 1>even though we have established that I am the Rose

1:10:09.680 --> 1:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>of Lost Cultures. But we're here. It's like in the multiverse,

1:10:14.520 --> 1:10:16.680
<v Speaker 1>it's like we can't and you will understand after you

1:10:16.720 --> 1:10:20.240
<v Speaker 1>see this movie. We we are at war, you know.

1:10:20.920 --> 1:10:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I think there's probably a multiverse version of me that

1:10:23.640 --> 1:10:27.559
<v Speaker 1>stands part of the Caribbean. Probably probably think as in

1:10:27.560 --> 1:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>every universe, I love it. Okay, Well do you know

1:10:32.080 --> 1:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>that because I'm the Scarlet witche and well, you would

1:10:36.840 --> 1:10:38.920
<v Speaker 1>actually be America shop Is. I think if you have

1:10:38.920 --> 1:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>the ability to go through universes. I'm so obsessed with Wanda.

1:10:42.080 --> 1:10:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I loved one division so much. I don't want to

1:10:43.840 --> 1:10:46.840
<v Speaker 1>see her become the villain, or do I do? I

1:10:46.960 --> 1:10:49.200
<v Speaker 1>read really bad reviews and I didn't agree with them,

1:10:49.200 --> 1:10:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and I walked out of the theater. Can I say

1:10:51.000 --> 1:10:57.080
<v Speaker 1>something about reviews? They're wrong all the time. They're wrong

1:10:57.120 --> 1:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>all the time, like and now being in things that

1:10:59.000 --> 1:11:01.000
<v Speaker 1>are getting reviewed either reviews, and I'm just like, what

1:11:01.120 --> 1:11:05.040
<v Speaker 1>are you talking about? Like, and I'm just I feel

1:11:05.080 --> 1:11:08.200
<v Speaker 1>so stupid forever being like like sending a review to

1:11:08.200 --> 1:11:09.719
<v Speaker 1>like my group chat and be like, oh, I guess

1:11:09.720 --> 1:11:13.760
<v Speaker 1>this sucks. Like they're wrong all the time, and they're

1:11:13.800 --> 1:11:16.200
<v Speaker 1>wrong when they say things are good, and they're wrong

1:11:16.200 --> 1:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>when they say things are bad. And you want to

1:11:17.840 --> 1:11:21.160
<v Speaker 1>know what it is. This is review culture. No one

1:11:21.160 --> 1:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>wants to put out a review about most things, which

1:11:23.120 --> 1:11:25.240
<v Speaker 1>are yeah, this is fine, there's good things about it,

1:11:25.280 --> 1:11:26.760
<v Speaker 1>and there's bad things about it, because that won't go

1:11:26.840 --> 1:11:29.960
<v Speaker 1>viral online. Because viral online is this is the greatest

1:11:29.960 --> 1:11:33.120
<v Speaker 1>film of the year with a transformative performance by Lady Gaga,

1:11:33.280 --> 1:11:35.160
<v Speaker 1>or this is the worst piece of should have all time.

1:11:35.200 --> 1:11:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Lady got should go to jail like those two genders.

1:11:38.439 --> 1:11:44.519
<v Speaker 1>But that's the binary. People don't realize that she should

1:11:44.520 --> 1:11:48.880
<v Speaker 1>be in jail for genius, for being If I said

1:11:50.040 --> 1:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>she's too powerful, she is the scarlet. She has the

1:11:55.600 --> 1:11:58.519
<v Speaker 1>scarlet which all the which I do feel even stronger

1:11:58.560 --> 1:12:01.920
<v Speaker 1>about after seeing the whole my Hand music video, which,

1:12:02.240 --> 1:12:05.639
<v Speaker 1>as France said, is basically just a Charlie incarnate performance. Yeah,

1:12:05.960 --> 1:12:11.719
<v Speaker 1>it was like Charlie shipping her handed down. I really

1:12:11.720 --> 1:12:13.679
<v Speaker 1>think she should date Tom Cruise. I think they would

1:12:13.720 --> 1:12:15.519
<v Speaker 1>be such a power that makes no sense to me.

1:12:15.560 --> 1:12:17.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't think she can date someone that insecure, do you?

1:12:17.479 --> 1:12:19.240
<v Speaker 1>What do you think? I mean? I saw that photo

1:12:19.320 --> 1:12:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of her kissing him on the cheek and she described

1:12:21.000 --> 1:12:22.599
<v Speaker 1>him as her good friend, and I was like, oh wow,

1:12:22.640 --> 1:12:24.759
<v Speaker 1>this is officially the arrow. We're in, a Lady Gaga,

1:12:24.880 --> 1:12:28.200
<v Speaker 1>like full on Hollywood sell out, like kissing kissing this

1:12:28.720 --> 1:12:33.640
<v Speaker 1>like maniacal villain on the on the cheek. I'm going

1:12:33.680 --> 1:12:35.880
<v Speaker 1>to write fan fiction about them. I really believe in

1:12:35.920 --> 1:12:38.840
<v Speaker 1>their loves. Sure, I mean, if they were to start dating,

1:12:38.880 --> 1:12:41.320
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't be it wouldn't be out of left field

1:12:41.320 --> 1:12:43.080
<v Speaker 1>for me. No, we would feel a little bit like

1:12:43.120 --> 1:12:45.680
<v Speaker 1>an arranged It would feel like an industry blog. I

1:12:45.680 --> 1:12:48.080
<v Speaker 1>would feel arranged because nothing he ever does is as

1:12:48.160 --> 1:12:52.559
<v Speaker 1>arranged as Gee Flip and Crusie Stoles and selling Sunset.

1:12:52.600 --> 1:12:55.040
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think that's arranged. No, I mean, I'm

1:12:55.080 --> 1:12:56.680
<v Speaker 1>just I did listen to hold my hand on the

1:12:56.680 --> 1:12:58.320
<v Speaker 1>way here, and I will listen to it on the

1:12:58.320 --> 1:13:00.880
<v Speaker 1>way home. So he is the thing. The first time

1:13:00.920 --> 1:13:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I listened to it, I was like, Oh, this sucks

1:13:03.160 --> 1:13:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's so first thought and it's like whatever. It

1:13:05.040 --> 1:13:07.200
<v Speaker 1>doesn't even feel like top Gun to me. It's like,

1:13:07.240 --> 1:13:09.519
<v Speaker 1>doesn't reference take my take my breath away. It's like

1:13:09.600 --> 1:13:11.120
<v Speaker 1>not giving me what I need. And I feel like

1:13:11.160 --> 1:13:13.360
<v Speaker 1>she just wrote a ballad for any movie. And also

1:13:13.360 --> 1:13:15.559
<v Speaker 1>I think she's like over singing it. But then I

1:13:15.600 --> 1:13:17.360
<v Speaker 1>listened to it a second time and I was like,

1:13:17.439 --> 1:13:19.080
<v Speaker 1>this is kind of in the best song of all time.

1:13:19.120 --> 1:13:21.160
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's doing that to me where I'm just

1:13:21.680 --> 1:13:24.960
<v Speaker 1>really torn in both directions on whether or not it's

1:13:25.000 --> 1:13:29.760
<v Speaker 1>like acceptable, and I think I'm gonna love It's my

1:13:29.760 --> 1:13:34.479
<v Speaker 1>favorite Jo doing Born This Way drag and I love it.

1:13:34.600 --> 1:13:37.680
<v Speaker 1>But don't you feel though, like sometimes like when I

1:13:37.680 --> 1:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>heard Shallow for the first time, I was like, yeah,

1:13:40.400 --> 1:13:43.400
<v Speaker 1>no denying that, but that's the one, and I felt

1:13:43.439 --> 1:13:45.760
<v Speaker 1>like I hadn't heard anything like it before from her.

1:13:45.800 --> 1:13:47.519
<v Speaker 1>It's like, hold my hand. I feel like it's like

1:13:47.520 --> 1:13:49.320
<v Speaker 1>a ballad that could have been on Born this Way.

1:13:49.760 --> 1:13:51.840
<v Speaker 1>What I was telling Rose, I feel like it it

1:13:51.920 --> 1:13:55.439
<v Speaker 1>sounds like seven other songs that probably it probably was

1:13:55.560 --> 1:13:59.559
<v Speaker 1>something that was or she wrote it in five minutes

1:13:59.640 --> 1:14:04.720
<v Speaker 1>and like Top Guns, Original Labs, ad and that's all

1:14:04.760 --> 1:14:08.080
<v Speaker 1>it needs to do. Not no, I mean, but I

1:14:08.080 --> 1:14:10.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know. It's like I don't know what's been the

1:14:10.160 --> 1:14:13.720
<v Speaker 1>best movie song to come out lately. Shallow Literally that

1:14:13.760 --> 1:14:15.600
<v Speaker 1>was that to me is the most recent, Like I

1:14:15.600 --> 1:14:17.360
<v Speaker 1>can't think of another. I want to say, while we're

1:14:17.360 --> 1:14:20.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about Disney fucking justice for Into the Unknown? What

1:14:21.120 --> 1:14:26.600
<v Speaker 1>is that? It is a very good song, um, Adina,

1:14:27.320 --> 1:14:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, a huge presence among us. Um. I think

1:14:32.000 --> 1:14:35.280
<v Speaker 1>it's great. It's no let It Go. I think it's

1:14:35.320 --> 1:14:39.040
<v Speaker 1>no let it Go. But also imagine knowing you had

1:14:39.080 --> 1:14:41.559
<v Speaker 1>to follow up Let it Go and you come even

1:14:41.600 --> 1:14:44.080
<v Speaker 1>that close and you're Adina, who's already your whole career

1:14:44.120 --> 1:14:47.519
<v Speaker 1>is about following up the iconic thing that you just did. Um.

1:14:47.920 --> 1:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I do think Show Yourself is a better song than

1:14:50.080 --> 1:14:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Into the Unknown. You know what. Show Yourself actually surprised

1:14:52.360 --> 1:14:53.960
<v Speaker 1>me because I was like, Wow, this like dropped in

1:14:54.000 --> 1:14:56.960
<v Speaker 1>more introspective moment and there's the yeah, the moment with

1:14:57.000 --> 1:15:00.679
<v Speaker 1>the mom then it's like where she realizes she's really good.

1:15:00.720 --> 1:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>But I will say, just like that line Into the

1:15:03.320 --> 1:15:06.599
<v Speaker 1>Unknown where she says, um, don't you know this part

1:15:06.640 --> 1:15:10.519
<v Speaker 1>of me that longs to go into the not I

1:15:10.600 --> 1:15:12.439
<v Speaker 1>was just like, lungs to go there's part of me

1:15:12.479 --> 1:15:14.360
<v Speaker 1>that longs to go into the unknown. I was like

1:15:14.400 --> 1:15:18.160
<v Speaker 1>the lyrics, you know, is there a Frozen ride? Yes,

1:15:19.040 --> 1:15:22.800
<v Speaker 1>it's an epcot. Okay, it used to be Maelstrom the

1:15:22.920 --> 1:15:26.240
<v Speaker 1>ride there in the Norway Pavilion with the trolls. They

1:15:26.240 --> 1:15:31.559
<v Speaker 1>have now turned that into Frozen ever After Rosen never After,

1:15:32.400 --> 1:15:35.679
<v Speaker 1>sort of a riff off of Carrie Underwood's ever ever

1:15:35.720 --> 1:15:39.040
<v Speaker 1>After from Enchanted and got it ever ever After from Enchanted.

1:15:39.160 --> 1:15:41.040
<v Speaker 1>That was a moment, as it was the music video

1:15:41.040 --> 1:15:44.040
<v Speaker 1>where she's walking down the street, the iconic key change

1:15:44.080 --> 1:15:53.240
<v Speaker 1>in the second chorus ever ever And it's not smart.

1:15:53.360 --> 1:15:56.240
<v Speaker 1>It's weird how we culturally forgot about like enchanted. I

1:15:56.280 --> 1:16:03.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't just enchanted coming honey. I remember watching Amy Adams

1:16:03.160 --> 1:16:05.120
<v Speaker 1>performance like at the Oscars that You're and being like,

1:16:05.200 --> 1:16:09.439
<v Speaker 1>who is that was so brave. First of all, two songs,

1:16:09.560 --> 1:16:11.600
<v Speaker 1>two or three songs nominated from Enchanted that You're at

1:16:11.640 --> 1:16:15.160
<v Speaker 1>the Oscars. There's the one so Close and yes, that

1:16:15.200 --> 1:16:17.800
<v Speaker 1>one that that guy sings. Kristin Chenowith came in. They

1:16:17.800 --> 1:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>gave her a whole fucking fanfare. They lifted around on

1:16:20.200 --> 1:16:23.280
<v Speaker 1>a chair. How does she know that whole thing? Then

1:16:23.320 --> 1:16:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Amy Adams, I said to do happy working song. You're

1:16:25.880 --> 1:16:33.040
<v Speaker 1>going out there cold by yourself nothing, and like barely

1:16:33.280 --> 1:16:35.439
<v Speaker 1>she she committed to that and did it, and I

1:16:35.479 --> 1:16:37.599
<v Speaker 1>was like, left her for dead. That had to be

1:16:38.000 --> 1:16:39.880
<v Speaker 1>so hard. No, so at the time, she was like,

1:16:40.040 --> 1:16:42.120
<v Speaker 1>she had an Oscar nomination from June Bug, but she

1:16:42.200 --> 1:16:44.120
<v Speaker 1>wasn't like a big star. I didn't know she had

1:16:44.160 --> 1:16:46.639
<v Speaker 1>a nomen by that point, but I had never heard

1:16:46.640 --> 1:16:52.400
<v Speaker 1>of her. Remember june Bug performance booked her enchanted, no way,

1:16:53.240 --> 1:16:56.519
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy, but it makes complete sense, honestly, and it

1:16:56.640 --> 1:16:58.880
<v Speaker 1>was a It was a true like theater kid performance,

1:16:58.920 --> 1:17:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Like it reminded me of wind God. I did the

1:17:01.360 --> 1:17:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Sound of Music moment, one of the I think most

1:17:04.240 --> 1:17:09.760
<v Speaker 1>important moments in her career. Oscar performance. It totally re

1:17:09.920 --> 1:17:12.800
<v Speaker 1>contextualized Lady Gaga and made her into someone that people

1:17:12.840 --> 1:17:16.519
<v Speaker 1>took seriously. After she had done American Horror Story. She's like,

1:17:17.840 --> 1:17:20.160
<v Speaker 1>it's it's post art pop when she was like kind

1:17:20.160 --> 1:17:23.400
<v Speaker 1>of flopping and that Oscar's performance is why we have

1:17:23.560 --> 1:17:26.200
<v Speaker 1>pulled my hands. Fat, nasty and Broke, I would came

1:17:26.240 --> 1:17:28.360
<v Speaker 1>on this bench as hell. You know what's funny, It's

1:17:28.360 --> 1:17:33.120
<v Speaker 1>like both Gaga and Beyonce really tried the Oscars thing.

1:17:33.400 --> 1:17:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Remember that year when Beyonce performed like all the nominated

1:17:36.439 --> 1:17:39.360
<v Speaker 1>songs with Hugh Jackman, right, or was that when he

1:17:39.520 --> 1:17:42.000
<v Speaker 1>was Josh Growben sang with her once and then she

1:17:42.080 --> 1:17:44.479
<v Speaker 1>did the song in French, and then she sang Learned

1:17:44.520 --> 1:17:46.200
<v Speaker 1>to Be Lonely from Phantom of the Opera, which was

1:17:46.200 --> 1:17:48.400
<v Speaker 1>a mini driver song from the movie, and they were like,

1:17:48.600 --> 1:17:52.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe you're not because she famously did not sing in

1:17:52.360 --> 1:17:56.479
<v Speaker 1>the movie. She did do that original song, she just

1:17:56.600 --> 1:18:00.320
<v Speaker 1>wasn't in the movie. Well like you dare school on

1:18:00.400 --> 1:18:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Fantom of the Opera in my house. Well no, Beyonce

1:18:03.240 --> 1:18:05.720
<v Speaker 1>was like very much at the Oscars for several years

1:18:05.760 --> 1:18:08.479
<v Speaker 1>in a row. She had a residency. She was like

1:18:08.600 --> 1:18:11.439
<v Speaker 1>was her Vegas resident. She was giving Oscar's performer there

1:18:11.479 --> 1:18:14.120
<v Speaker 1>for a while. And then obviously Listen was nominated. She

1:18:14.160 --> 1:18:16.880
<v Speaker 1>did the whole dream Worls thing, etcetera. But Gaga to

1:18:17.400 --> 1:18:20.960
<v Speaker 1>like worked the Oscars because people forget she probably should

1:18:20.960 --> 1:18:22.559
<v Speaker 1>have won an Oscar for until it Happens to you

1:18:23.520 --> 1:18:25.519
<v Speaker 1>And now that should have been Diane Warren's Oscar Wimen

1:18:25.560 --> 1:18:27.400
<v Speaker 1>and now the people that have residencies is like it's

1:18:27.400 --> 1:18:30.000
<v Speaker 1>like her. You know the music artist her, She's played
