The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz XX
[0] You're listening to Draft King's Network.
[1] Now's a good time to remember where the story of tequila started.
[2] In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family.
[3] And 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong.
[4] Family owned from the start, same family, same land.
[5] Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo.
[6] The tequila that invented tequila.
[7] Go to Quervo .com to shop tequila or visit a store near you.
[8] Quervo, now's a good time.

[14] This is the Dan Levatore show with the Stugats podcast.
[15] Today's episode is sponsored by Draft Kings.
[16] Stay tuned because you'll hear more about Draft Kings and all it has to offer throughout the show.
[17] Draft Kings, the crown is yours.
[18] It's been a long week, yeah.
[19] Because the weekend, I think, felt especially long, given all the other events that, you know, this week it's kind of felt like a month, but it's Friday, and I still think everything's so fresh that I'm not necessarily feeling Friday vibes, but I am excited for the weekend to come because we got a good old -fashioned disaster movie, tent pole franchise, box office, hopefully smash hit, because we want the movies to do well coming out this weekend, Twisters.
[20] I know some people have already saw it in the audience, they tell me 40x experience, not as bad as Dune, not as bad as Mission Impossible.
[21] Only, it really gets going towards the end and had a lot of people thanking me for the bunch of crunch tip that is just in a lead pairing.
[22] What's the tip?
[23] Bunch of crunch paired with red wine.
[24] A leap combo.
[25] It's like wine and cheese.
[26] Pied and noir?
[27] No, no, chocolate and people will tell you chocolate and red wine do go together, but bunch of crunch specifically because you have the texture of it.
[28] Caramel.
[29] Well, no, no, it's not caramel.
[30] About a toffee?
[31] No, no, it's like Nestle Crunch, but they made the, these little bunch of crunch balls.
[32] Wait, Roy's never had bunch of crunch?
[33] You've never had a bunch of crunch?
[34] No, it's the popcorn that has like a little calm on it.
[35] No, no, no. That's Cracker Jacks.
[36] Has Roy ever been to the movies?
[37] Yes, I've been.
[38] You remember Nestle Crunch bars, right?
[39] The big bars, I think in the 90s they had like an NBA tie -in where it was like a mystery.
[40] Ooh, I get an NBA team if I open up my Nestle Crunch.
[41] They made like smaller bite -sized versions of the Nestle Crunch.
[42] But I guess, what is it like?
[43] Oh, you know, crunch and run.
[44] Crunch and much is what I was thinking of.
[45] That's what I was going to say.
[46] That's bunch of crunch.
[47] It literally says it.
[48] What is the thing that makes it crunchy?
[49] A little rice crispy thing.
[50] Is it?
[51] Yeah.
[52] Is it a rice crispy?
[53] Close to it.
[54] Probably not rice crispy, but a crispy rice piece.
[55] Let's get down to the bottom of what actually makes a bunch of crunch crunch.
[56] But everybody's, you know, excited for the weekend.
[57] Some more than others because they've got this movie to look forward to.
[58] Are we going to get Glenn Powell fatigue at some point?
[59] Yes.
[60] I'm not, you think so?
[61] You think so?
[62] You're there yet?
[63] He's in everything.
[64] Well, he has, he's going to start being in everything.
[65] He's in a lot right now.
[66] You found your Kevin Hart.
[67] Ooh, no. He's white people, Kevin Hart?
[68] Yes, he's going to be in everything.
[69] Every single thing.
[70] I don't think he's there yet.
[71] Well, let's check the IMDB.
[72] What does he have cooking?
[73] Because now we're starting to see like all those guys that made their name in Top Gun Maverick.
[74] They were working on a bunch of projects.
[75] And so they're all starting to stack up.
[76] But I think this is just the start of the Glenn.
[77] Powell experience.
[78] If you're sick already of Glenn Powell, this spells bad news because that dude's going to be around for a long time, especially if this movie hits the way that most people are forecasting.
[79] And I use that word on purpose.
[80] But this is all a way to get into the 1996 original, which is just twister.
[81] Even though there were multiple twisters in that film, as part of the ramp up for Twisters, I, like many, have revisited the 1996 film.
[82] Now, I remember, this is a core memory of mine, is going to the movie theater and watching Twister, and it was a great movie, way better than it had any right to be, or at least that's how I remembered it.
[83] Great performances.
[84] Oh, incredible.
[85] And I also realized that a lot of my emotional connection to the franchise wasn't just the movie.
[86] Billy, it was the ride at Universal Studios.
[87] Yeah.
[88] Which wasn't really a ride.
[89] Like walk through.
[90] Yeah.
[91] It was a lot like the original Ghostbusters.
[92] Now, I am really dating myself because maybe Billy, maybe Roy experience the original, like, early 90s attraction that was at that spot.
[93] So I think it went Ghostbusters, Twister, and now it's the Jimmy Fallon experience.
[94] Was I the only person that actually remembers the Ghostbusters experience there?
[95] I remember going and taking pictures with the Ghostbusters.
[96] They have like the Ghostbuster car drive through.
[97] You take pictures with them.
[98] You're like, oh, my God, the Ghostbusters.
[99] Then you buy like a Ghostbusters costume.
[100] I like the Ghostbusters.
[101] Is that what Earthquake used to be?
[102] No, earthquake is now Fast and Furious.
[103] Right.
[104] Which I've read reportedly might already be on its way.
[105] Fast and Furious is a terrible ride.
[106] I'm just imagining the old Twister ride where you walk through and you kind of experience a twister in front of you.
[107] You see like wind coming.
[108] I'm like now imagining you do that same thing.
[109] But instead it's like some shmarmie like, hey, man, good to see you.
[110] It's just like an over laugh.
[111] of like, oh, that is the funniest thing I have ever heard.
[112] You just keep walking through and it's just someone overreacting to whatever you're saying.
[113] So I did that Jimmy Fallon attraction for the first time ever just a couple weeks ago.
[114] I had always avoided it for reasons I like to keep to myself.
[115] But so I'm waiting in this line.
[116] Number one, I had an express pass and it took me still like 50 minutes to get through this line.
[117] Oh, I hate that that happened to you, man. You do actually a pretty good Jimmy Fallon.
[118] That's good.
[119] Why does he have a ride?
[120] NBC.
[121] Why wouldn't I?
[122] Thank you.
[123] I mean, come on.
[124] Let's be careful with the parent company.
[125] So the parent company put Jimmy Fallon on this really cool marquee spot.
[126] It's a fun attraction.
[127] Yeah, well, that's what, it caught me by surprise, like, because I was like, over the weight.
[128] I'm like, there's nothing express about this weight, but then the actual ride was pretty cool.
[129] But I still missed, like if Universal announced right now that they're going to open up the park as it was in 1991, I'd sign up for that.
[130] I'd much rather that because of all the nostalgia.
[131] So I was sad to see Ghostbusters go, but it was replaced by Twisters.
[132] And core memories of mine are walking through that line.
[133] And I think we actually have sound, if, Chris, just search an R .J. Drive, Paxton.
[134] Because I think in the club one time, I just had Bill Paxton introducing himself in that Twister's attraction, actually.
[135] So I remember Bill Paxton introducing himself, I'm Bill Paxton.
[136] Of course you are.
[137] We've seen the movie.
[138] He should have introduced himself as the extreme, the extreme, which is a character he also plays in that.
[139] I'm Bill Paxton.
[140] Yeah, it was so much of a core memory that I thought, I'm just going to shoehorn this into the club one day.
[141] Wow.
[142] But it also Mandela affected me a little bit because I could have sworn that the cow scene in Twister was at the drive -in movie theater that they're showing the shining just because the attraction had the cow.
[143] No, it was nighttime.
[144] You wouldn't be able to see the count, right?
[145] So the cow, actually, like, he's driving through, like, this one road that's going between two bodies of water where two twisters converge, and it's the cow.
[146] And I remember.
[147] There's two cows, by the way.
[148] No, no, no, no. Oh, it was the same cow that I went by twice.
[149] Same cow, the girl from lost boys.
[150] She called the movie cows.
[151] Same cow, the girl from lost boys, which I think she owns like a WMBA team or owned a WMBA team at one point.
[152] She says it might be the same cow.
[153] I remember being transported in the movie theater.
[154] This is the most amazing thing, the special effects.
[155] Where does the future go?
[156] And then I watched it again last night.
[157] And I learned that Tony also watched it last night.
[158] Only you had the experience of watching it for the first time.
[159] So you didn't have any of the nostalgia boxes checked the way that I did.
[160] You're just experiencing this thing as like a big budget Hollywood blockbuster that has spawned this sequel.
[161] Is it a sequel?
[162] boot or reimagining.
[163] I would assume it's a sequel because they added an S to it.
[164] And that typically means it's a sequel.
[165] But is this a direct sequel?
[166] Do they harken back to the first one?
[167] I believe they called it a sequel.
[168] So it's a sequel, like several years later.
[169] So hopefully that means the old characters are canon.
[170] Now, a lot of them have departed, which is sad.
[171] But I watched it last night, Tony, and I was like, wow, these effects do not hold up.
[172] You know, I mean, it's 1995 or 96 or whatever it was.
[173] Dude, that scene when they show the satellite in outer space.
[174] Yeah, it was like, I drew it, like on Word, like on paint or whatever.
[175] It's like on MS paint.
[176] It's so bad.
[177] Were you talking about Jamie Gertz?
[178] Who's the actor?
[179] Yeah, no, sir.
[180] So she owns part, her and her husband own part of the Brewers and the Atlanta Hawks.
[181] Damn.
[182] So, but do they also own the spirit?
[183] They're rich.
[184] So I think that they were, did they have to sell the spirit?
[185] Because I think there was a big WMBA controversy because of like, some things that they've said and some some things that they donated to.
[186] No. No. The former senator had to sell her part of the team.
[187] Yeah, so I remember there was like an NBA draft where she was a representative for the Atlanta Hawks.
[188] I was like, where's this girl that the girl that dated Michael in Lost Boys is all of a sudden like representing the Atlanta Hawks?
[189] So she's like a billionaire now.
[190] But Tony, I'm really interested to hear your perspective on your first ever viewing of the Twister movie that came out in 1996.
[191] Again, I went in with a clear head.
[192] I was like, I'm not going to let people say, because I've heard, hey, it's kind of cheesy, whatever from different people.
[193] I've heard it's great from you.
[194] So it's like, I need to go in and make my own thoughts on it.
[195] So I was watching and I was like, yeah, movie about tornadoes from 1996?
[196] Cool.
[197] All right.
[198] The first scene where Joe's dad is getting spoiler, getting into their storm shelter within the first four minutes of the movie.
[199] Got to hold those doors.
[200] And he's holding the door.
[201] and you can see the thing shaking your mouth.
[202] Did you pop for the dog looking like Toto from the Wizard of Oz?
[203] Yeah, we needed Toby inside.
[204] So we were like, come on, Toby, get in there, get in there.
[205] And then all of a sudden, as he can't hold it anymore, he gets flunk kind of like a boomerang into the tornado.
[206] He was like, oh.
[207] He gets sucked out.
[208] He could have just stood back.
[209] Just say back.
[210] They were fine.
[211] They were fine.
[212] They were totally fine.
[213] Just hang back.
[214] Yeah.
[215] Did we ever find him or no?
[216] No, no, he died.
[217] He got to protect the perimeter.
[218] You know, that guy was, that guy was keeping a perimeter.
[219] Was it as bad as Kevin Costner's?
[220] scene in Superman?
[221] Oh, yeah.
[222] How did he die again?
[223] He just stood there and looked back at Clark.
[224] He was like, see you.
[225] Now, have we gotten an answer on whether or not this is a direct sequel?
[226] Yes, this is what's being referred to as a standalone sequel.
[227] So essentially, you can see this without having seen the first one.
[228] They'll have its own plot, but it will carry over some of the elements and narratives from the first one.
[229] So those people, seemingly, those people would still exist.
[230] exists.
[231] All right.
[232] So that would mean that people from the first film...
[233] I don't know if there are...
[234] I don't know if there are cameos.
[235] I don't know anything like that, but I assume that that means you're right.
[236] Cannon, at least.
[237] What's the connection between Powell and Paxton?
[238] I need to know.
[239] The tornado.
[240] Yeah, well, the storm.
[241] Cousins.
[242] Well, maybe he's as extreme.
[243] Because remember, the lore, when they go to Joe's house and they explain how Bill Paxson got the nickname The Extreme is because one day he went out naked, totally naked with a bottle of Jack Daniels, and as a twister was coming at him, and he said, hey, have a drink, and he tossed the bottle of Jack Daniels into the twister, and the bottle never came down.
[244] That's the legend as to why he...
[245] So naturally, he's extreme.
[246] Yeah, but he, Bill Paxton, tragically, died very shortly after he came on our show.
[247] Which is, remember when our show was cursed?
[248] Tornado got him.
[249] No, not a tornado.
[250] Oh.
[251] I'm Bill Paxton.
[252] So he's gone.
[253] Philip Seymour Hoffman is also gone.
[254] You really saw his range in that movie.
[255] Given that Oklahoma Sooners cap.
[256] All right.
[257] So it's a great character, quotable in the film.
[258] Character depth of a puddle.
[259] You know, I mean, come on.
[260] He is just there for vibes.
[261] He spends 90 % of his lines in that film are who's got it better you also said food yeah food food he loves may oh is it may is it may or joe no it may may yeah yeah i thought i thought someone was you're right joe is it yeah all right so joe was making joe is helen hunt right yes all right back to tony your your experience with this film because disaster movies are interesting in that it's not conventional action.
[262] It's not your hero socking a batty in the face.
[263] The batty is something that you cannot control to force in nature, so the action is you basically...
[264] A baddie?
[265] The villain?
[266] Okay.
[267] Yeah, your big baddie.
[268] Your final boss in this film is the Dreaded F5 tornado, the finger of God, as it's been described.
[269] So, is it a file or fob from you?
[270] On first watch, I think it's a file.
[271] I might watch it again.
[272] I might watch it again before I watch the next one because my wife hasn't seen it, so I'll probably watch it again with her.
[273] Pre -watchable, certainly.
[274] So I'm going to give it another eye with a more discerning look now.
[275] Obviously looking for character development.
[276] Obviously looking for more intense scenes.
[277] It really sees on Philip Seymour Hoffman's character depth in this one.
[278] Summer's the best time to run the way you want.
[279] Dial it up with new challenges and programs and bring your workouts with you to make the most of outside sunny days.
[280] Stugats, guess what?
[281] What?
[282] You know what you can do with Peloton?
[283] What?
[284] Get the app.
[285] Go outside, ride a bike.
[286] Well, I thought you're ride Peloton inside.
[287] Well, you do.
[288] You can ride Peloton inside if it's a rainy day or if it's cloudy or you just don't want to get outside.
[289] Maybe it's too hot.
[290] It's summertime.
[291] Go outside.
[292] I record a lot from my office with you.
[293] And you've noticed it's sitting there yet it hasn't been used.
[294] Well, now's the time.
[295] Summer's the best time to start that push, Stugats.
[296] Right.
[297] Can we do it together?
[298] Not on the same bike, but we could join a class together.
[299] I used to do that.
[300] We used to do that.
[301] We'd invite people.
[302] We'd all take a class together.
[303] Okay.
[304] So I think you're starting to get concerned about my health and my age, Billy.
[305] I sense that with you.
[306] We're beyond starting.
[307] Okay.
[308] Whatever road lies ahead.
[309] Your training starts here with Peloton Tread and Tread Plus.
[310] It's not just a bike, a treadmill too.
[311] I'm going to go outside.
[312] I'm going to get in shape.
[313] I'm going to do it with Billy Gill.
[314] I want to be in your class.
[315] I want you to be my instructor.
[316] You don't want to spend more time with me. No, I can schedule a class and we can ride together.
[317] I won't be the instructor of the class.
[318] We can have Camila could be our instructor.
[319] I like the Grateful Dead class.
[320] My daughter, she uses the Peloton.
[321] She was on it once and an instructor who was playing Grateful Dead tunes.
[322] Let's do that.
[323] Okay.
[324] Why don't we go for a run, outside, guided run, Peloton.
[325] Me and you, that's something we can do together.
[326] Okay.
[327] Turn on the app, me and you, go outside.
[328] Enjoy the summer.
[329] Call yourself a runner with Peloton at OnePeloton .com slash running.
[330] Don Lebertard.
[331] I went in the margins.
[332] I'm like, you're a money ball of sex?
[333] I'm basically Scott Hatterber for fucking.
[334] Stugats.
[335] A lot of walks, but I'm on base.
[336] When it comes to sex with Scott Hattberg.
[337] Other dudes, they can be Giambi.
[338] You know your role you play well?
[339] I know my role.
[340] This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats.
[341] I found a pamphlet with Universal Studios opening day attractions.
[342] If you'd like to go over that at some point.
[343] Run through that.
[344] Yeah, this was like 1990.
[345] I took Juliett, my daughter, to Universal Studios for the first time in her life.
[346] And it was a bit nostalgic because I was looking for all the connection points.
[347] Now, apparently, I just missed this brand new parade that they have, Billy, where they harken back to all the original attractions.
[348] There's a back -to -the -future flow.
[349] There's some weird ones on here that I'm sure they left out.
[350] All right, so let's go through it.
[351] So June 7, 1990, I believe, was opening day.
[352] So I'm going to read you, I guess, the different areas of the park at the time and what they had there.
[353] So there's the front lot.
[354] That's where you walk in, presumably.
[355] And then they have Production Central.
[356] And here are the attractions at Production Central.
[357] Murder, she wrote.
[358] Mystery Theater.
[359] I opened a theme park with Murder, she wrote, Mystery Theater.
[360] I have a memory of that.
[361] You do not.
[362] A core memory.
[363] A core memory.
[364] A core memory in that I went to that attraction.
[365] They asked the crowd, I must have been like six years old.
[366] How many core memories are people allowed to have?
[367] Well, it's a core memory in that it was a part of who I am.
[368] You know how I know useless trivia and how I can pull, like, actors' names that.
[369] So like, in this murder she wrote attraction, they would ask the audience, hey, we can put any celebrity in this scene that you want.
[370] And they thought it would be like really cool.
[371] And so they asked the audience, who would you like to be in this scene?
[372] And without hesitation, I was a lone voice that answered, Tom Selleck.
[373] And so they put Tom Selleck into that scene.
[374] But I remember the reaction to me saying Tom Selleck is, how the hell does a seven -year -old know who Tom Selleck is?
[375] He was big in the 1990s.
[376] And it was like, he might lose his ranch.
[377] Are you guys worried about him?
[378] He's going to lose his ranch?
[379] Well, he was thinking because his show Blue Bloods got canceled, I think.
[380] And he's like, you know, I very much.
[381] Made it seem like he's working paycheck to paycheck.
[382] He's like, this is a big ranch.
[383] I may lose my ranch.
[384] So he's looking for another gig.
[385] Also, you could just sell your ranch and retire.
[386] Or he can just follow Buster Olney's advice.
[387] And if he ever wants to bet the ranch on something he can't.
[388] But then what do you do with two ranches?
[389] If he can't afford one, how does he afford two?
[390] You rent one.
[391] I guess that's true.
[392] All right.
[393] So Murder she wrote.
[394] Murder she wrote.
[395] That's a bang.
[396] Mystery Theater.
[397] Then also in production central, Alfred Hitchcock, the art of making movies, which was great.
[398] Oh, I remember that.
[399] My dad would always make me go to the other.
[400] I have another core memory there.
[401] My dad played Norman Bates as one big, great reveal at the end.
[402] Yeah, remember when they turn around and they reveal it's an audience member the entire time?
[403] The Alfred Hitchcock one is where Shrek is now.
[404] That used to be the Alfred Hitchie.
[405] Shrek isn't there anymore.
[406] Shrek is in that.
[407] Whatever, what's there now?
[408] They got rid of Shrek?
[409] They have another Despicable Me ride.
[410] On the other side, it's literally on the same side, right when you walk in at your own studios.
[411] Despicable Me?
[412] Dispicable Me villains.
[413] You can never have too much.
[414] The left Dispickable Me, you should.
[415] It used to be Jetsons.
[416] No, no. It used to be the fantastic world of Hanibarbara.
[417] You'll get one of those on the right.
[418] Which is their opening day.
[419] The fantastic world of Hanabarbara.
[420] Hanna Barberra, which became Jimmy Neutron.
[421] But Jetsons were part of that.
[422] Jimmy Neutrons was I remember that.
[423] Yeah, all right.
[424] So I'm visualizing this.
[425] Then there's production tour Nickelodeon Studios, which was a dream of every child to attend.
[426] But when you went, when you toured it, what were they in active production on?
[427] Clarissa explains it all.
[428] Whoa, you got lucky.
[429] Yeah, we walked around.
[430] Like in the rafters, and we saw the set of Clarissa explains it all.
[431] I got Roundhouse, which was a short -lived variety show.
[432] And then when I went back, I got Keenan and Kel.
[433] Oh, Keenan and Kel is a banger, though.
[434] I'm jealous.
[435] My cousins went when they were doing a shooting of all that.
[436] They didn't get to see it, but oh, my God, it's what dreams are made of all that.
[437] Yeah, kind of changes the core memory a little bit now in retrospect.
[438] Or what would you do?
[439] Oh, imagine what would you do?
[440] Oh, Mark Summers.
[441] Mark Summers.
[442] Lion Fountain out front.
[443] All right, so we're in, like, we're just walking in.
[444] Now we're headed over to New York.
[445] Yeah.
[446] In New York, they had confrontation, which was incredible.
[447] It smelled amazing.
[448] Better than the present King Kong, right?
[449] Yeah.
[450] Oh, it smelled great.
[451] Hit pausing, backtracking just a little bit to Nickelodeon studios.
[452] Do you remember the television special in which they put together the time capsule, which is still there?
[453] Have they not dug it up yet?
[454] No, I think they dig it up in like 2040 or something like that.
[455] I got to be honest with you, when you go there, now and you see that they turn Nickelodeon Studios into Blue Man Group, but it still has like the Nickelodeon Studios look to it.
[456] It was just painted over to be for Blue Man Group.
[457] Very sad.
[458] Even though Blue Man Group, I'm a fan.
[459] Yeah.
[460] I like it.
[461] Blue Man Group's a fun time.
[462] It's fun.
[463] Can we look up if Blue Man Group is still there?
[464] Because I don't think it is anymore.
[465] What's going on in Orlando?
[466] Because I was looking for the pain scheme and I just saw like a gray studio there.
[467] All right, confrontation, a great attraction to wait and line in.
[468] It smelled great.
[469] It looked like dirty early 80s.
[470] You had big King Kong at the end that you.
[471] You stand inside and take a picture.
[472] Yeah.
[473] It is now the mummy.
[474] Classic, yeah.
[475] Yeah, all right.
[476] The mummy's great, though.
[477] Mummy is underrated roller coaster.
[478] They change it?
[479] I think the Mummy's now a Lester Holt ride.
[480] It is not.
[481] Mummy in Universal Studios, Hollywood is very different from Mummy and Universal Studios.
[482] Does it the new mummy?
[483] No, it's not the Tom Cruise mummy.
[484] That would be awesome, but that movie flopped.
[485] It was supposed to be the center of the dark universe, which is now a respond to an epic universe, but won't have any other.
[486] What is the Dark Universe?
[487] Dark Universe is all the classic.
[488] It sounds scary.
[489] Which I'm sure you're going to get around to as we continue this tour of the early 90s.
[490] All right, so next is Ghostbusters, and then there's screen test home video adventure coming soon.
[491] I don't know what that was.
[492] I don't know.
[493] Did it ever come?
[494] I don't know.
[495] Coming soon.
[496] Don't come.
[497] All right, so now we're headed over to Hollywood, where we have the gory, gruesome, and grotesque horror makeup show.
[498] That's still around.
[499] If you say so, I don't know.
[500] No, it is.
[501] It's still, like, in that corner across from the old, like, 19.
[502] team 50s diner where there's all all those cars there that corner still the still the same all right and then finally in hollywood there's how to make a mega movie deal which sounds like us talking about podcasts i don't that says coming soon so i don't know if they ever i don't think it ever came they ever did that yeah don't come so then we head off to san francisco slash amity and you have earthquake the big one dynamite night stunt spectacular i love a stunt spectacular big fan of You look like a guy that likes the Indiana Jones.
[503] Oh, I love the United Jones.
[504] Like, watch out for that ball!
[505] Yeah, you got to go every time you're there.
[506] He always gets crushed at first, and you're like, oh, they actually really got hurt here, and they always fool me. Like, wait, wait, wait.
[507] And then Steve one time was Indiana Jones on an episode of Full House, but it wasn't really Steve.
[508] So she thought, like, they went to like a sad commercial break.
[509] And she was missing Steve because they broke up and she was just missing Steve.
[510] And then she looks up and like, whoa, Steve's Indiana Jones, but it wasn't really Steve's.
[511] Those Disney episodes of Full House?
[512] It was really the apex of that show for me. So did the Dynamite Night stunt Spectacular briefly become Miami Vice stunt spectacular?
[513] Jeremy looked that up.
[514] Now it's like a drone show.
[515] Isn't it, is that where Fear Factor is?
[516] Do they still have Fear Factor?
[517] No, Fear Factor.
[518] So like that Fear Factor stage is just seasonal.
[519] It just basically exists with the Bill and Ted show on Halloween Horror Nights.
[520] There's nothing going on right now.
[521] Well, there was indeed a Miami Vice stunt show at Universal Studios.
[522] Wow.
[523] You're good, dude.
[524] Fall Guy actually reminded me because...
[525] There's a GQ article that says the Miami Vice stunt show from the Fall Guy is real.
[526] That's the headline.
[527] So look at you, man. All right.
[528] So then we had the Expo Center where there's E .T. Adventure, which contractually has to be there forever.
[529] Still smells the same.
[530] I love it.
[531] And I still get freaked out when now you put your name in and then E .T. says your name on the way out.
[532] Thank you, Fred Michael.
[533] No idea how they do that.
[534] It's amazing science.
[535] when you say that area of the park you want to talk about core memories it just popped into my head a random me and my family to this day we still talk about this a random British little kid walking by and our family overhearing Woody Woodpecker he's the best that's a core memory Is that like who won?
[536] It's kind of like who won like I'm telling you to this day anytime anyone my family says Woody Woodpecker my like our whole family he's the best it was just some like random five year old 20 years ago just walking by our family It's a fun little coaster so it wasn't part of the original Woody.
[537] Woody is now trolls.
[538] And Fifele Goes West, that play area wasn't a part of the original park launch.
[539] No, it's not.
[540] But it is now like a DreamWorks world.
[541] And I have a new core memory that was unlocked a couple of weeks ago in which I was just sitting down minding my own business while my family rode the trolls closer because I had actually pinched a nerve in my neck earlier just lifting my daughter up in the air because I'm old now.
[542] And I was just chilling, minding my own business waiting for my family to get off a coaster and some lady who to me appeared high on meth said mind your own effin business that's just like my memory to you yeah to well i couldn't tell it like there were three guys it didn't make me feel great about them because the other two were in wheelchairs and i was just sitting nursing a pinched neck and she walked past she walked like 15 yards and then she turned back and she barked at the three of us mind your own effin business and it was shocking did you look over the other guys like i was trying to figure out like but the other guys they were like trump at the rnc like it must have been me she must have thought i was looking at her when i was just like looking off in the distance wondering what happened to fifle all right so then there was the animal actor stage which i think is still there there's like a similar thing it's just like you know an animal show and then there's back to the future of the ride coming soon which is now the simpson's ride which i think they're closing and making something else right are they i thought i heard they can't close springfield so I think elements of the Back to the Future ride are now in Citywalk because they have an escape room adventure, Billy, I think you'd actually like this.
[543] Have you seen the escape rooms at Universal now?
[544] I haven't been to Universal in a very long time.
[545] So they have a huge building that is dedicated escape rooms and one is like a Back to the Future themed escape room and the other is a Jurassic Park themed escape room.
[546] I think that the Simpsons is going to go away in part because Disney owns the Simpsons now.
[547] Same thing with, like, Spider -Man at Universal, at Islands Adventure.
[548] I think when Disney bought Fox, they ran into issues where, like, they had contracts at these theme parks, but they would expire at some point.
[549] All right.
[550] And is that the end of, like...
[551] That was it.
[552] That's all that was their opening day.
[553] Huh.
[554] I've never been a universal.
[555] Can we talk about anything else?
[556] Like, anything else.

[572] Don Lebertard.
[573] Mike Ryan's in there and he's the one with a baby.
[574] He's the one who's got to like worry about what the future.
[575] is and Mike Ryan bet on Draft Kings because Mike Ryan bet on us this is the bet you're afraid of doubling down on putting up a billboard in Edmonton Stugats I care more about Matthew Kachuk than I do my daughter This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats So I think I actually happened to Universal But it was I think I was like 10 or 11 years old And I went to the University of Iowa So most of my childhood memories are gone I kind of drank those all the way at school.
[576] So I don't, this has really been an unenjoyable.
[577] Were you a theme part girly at any point in time?
[578] I like roller coasters, but like not like, sure.
[579] I don't know the last time I've been on one.
[580] Do you throw your hands up?
[581] Yeah, it's fun.
[582] Carowins is like the North Carolina amusement park and it's great, but it's not like super themey, the roller coaster just fast.
[583] Rollercoasters have become less of an enjoyable experience.
[584] Not for me, but as my dad has gotten old.
[585] he's just turned progressively more into an asshole in a nice way he will sit next to people on roller coasters every single time like if there's a three group of us he's like let me sit with the stranger so he can look at them before the ride and go I only threw up once the last time I wrote this to make the experience miserable for them but they don't get it they don't and he's like he is very like sharp with his delivery in a way that it's like very hard to tell that he's joking so it's the whole time of us just like having fun and looking back at someone just being like terrified to be sitting next to my dad.
[586] But yeah, I don't, universal, don't particularly.
[587] Not a core memory for you.
[588] No. What's the better joke I only threw up once last time or I think it's loose?
[589] Yeah.
[590] Because I see Chris Goldie as out.
[591] I think it's loose, buddy.
[592] Chris, I would be, but I kind of get terrified.
[593] So I'm the guy, I need that last click up against the ass.
[594] If there's like any sort of like thing, I am freaking out.
[595] I need that thing.
[596] I'll put it on.
[597] uncomfortable on me, but if I get that last click, or it's like, I can't even move, I feel I'm in heaven.
[598] So the metabolism, the metabolism has slowed down in the late 30s to now, like, I'm sitting in roller coaster seats and I'm like, is it that tight for everybody else?
[599] Like, rocket roller coaster.
[600] He's looking around like the rip ride rocket.
[601] It was just like, this is how tight we decided to make everything.
[602] Carolins looks awesome.
[603] There's so many rides.
[604] It's a great amusement park.
[605] You would really like it, Mike, because a lot of it is NASCAR themed.
[606] They have like a Dale Earnhardt roller coaster.
[607] It's called the, it's called the, someone look it up, it's called the something.
[608] Yeah, that's what it's called.
[609] Yeah, the intimidator.
[610] They have like a Hornet's one, which like, blah, but it's really fast.
[611] They always like on the commercials, I think they're making up the stacks, but they're like, it's the fastest giga coaster on the East Coast, which I don't know.
[612] What's a, no clue.
[613] No clue, but it's a great amusement park, not in the sense of like what I imagine Disney and Universal or like we're like it's very themes there and there's like you know more like kiddish stuff where carolins is like you're going to get the fastest ride possible wait a second isn't carol stricer they used to be intimidated now it's called thunderstriker they couldn't get the licensing they had one called the night hawk that was really cool isn't richard children's didn't want to give it up well i mean that's a whole thing with with the family anyways isn't carowans where these two people broke up on Love is Blind?
[614] Does anybody else remember that?
[615] Yes.
[616] It is.
[617] What are the names of the people?
[618] Yes.
[619] Where they were like in the theme park Is that Jimmy and what's her name?
[620] The girl that said she looked like Megan Fox and Jimmy.
[621] So she's like, they were back together after all that?
[622] I'm pretty sure they are.
[623] They went to care together?
[624] She's like, why did you break up with me before Carrowans?
[625] He's like, I wanted to ride the ride.
[626] And I get it.
[627] Those roller coasters are amazing.
[628] No disrespect to him.
[629] And they like shut down the park for them.
[630] So Matt, the wait times were nothing.
[631] It was also the end of the show, like the end of the night.
[632] So he's like, yeah.
[633] Her name was Chelsea.
[634] Chelsea, I think we're going to break up.
[635] She's like, you just wrote all the rides.
[636] It was just the naming rights deal coming up.
[637] Like, they had a deal and it ran through, so they renamed it.
[638] Just retire the three.
[639] Just retire the three.
[640] So how does Kerow Wins work?
[641] Because there's a lot of water slides too.
[642] You pay them money and then they give you a ticket.
[643] No, but is it separate tickets for the water park and then the roller coaster park?
[644] I believe so.
[645] So I think you have to get a separate ticket for the water part of it.
[646] But we never really did that that often.
[647] There's a separate, like, water park in Greensboro, which is about an hour plus away.
[648] So a lot of people would go to that.
[649] That's wet and wild.
[650] Carowins was more for the roller coasters.
[651] And it was a really great amusement park to go to growing up because, like, it really is just about fast roller coasters.
[652] Can we, uh, video team, if we can find what the, the intimidator looked like back in its day, back before they ruined everything.
[653] It was a really great ride.
[654] Did it have, like, good wrench stickers everywhere?
[655] I don't know.
[656] It was red.
[657] red the car's probably black the car kind of looks like yeah the car looks like it was so fun no it was a really like they do a good job with making the roller coasters like really really fast and more like you seem to have some sort of what feels like a steering wheel like you're sitting but you have something here that's dope because like the new harry potter ride where you can pick like the motorcycle or the side car the haggard ride it's spectacular yeah like i picked the you know being on the motorcycle is the best part you don't want to be the sidecar.
[658] Yeah, pick the big hog.
[659] I have a dumb question for you, Lucy.
[660] So down here, the big parks are open year -round, but I know, like, nationally there's like seasonal parks.
[661] Is Carol wins a seasonal park?
[662] Is it year -round?
[663] Because, like, I went one time to Gatlinburg, and Dollywood was close to Gatlinburg, but Dollywood was seasonal, so it was closed.
[664] Yeah.
[665] I think it's year -round, but I'm not 100 % positive.
[666] North Carolina, like, the weather is, like, it's good for a good chunk of the year.
[667] Like, it'll be not fun from November to February.
[668] But even then, like, North Carolina, you get so many random days where it's like, oh, man, it's snowed seven inches and the next day it's 70 degrees.
[669] So I think it's, I don't know.
[670] I don't know.
[671] I don't know.
[672] I don't know why I even thought to answer that question.
[673] I don't know the answer.
[674] November to February that you say is, like, the bad time is, like, the good time to go to theme parks here because it's so hot the rest of the year around where you don't want to go to theme park.
[675] Like, after March, like, mid -March, April until almost like mid -November, you don't really want to go to theme parks.
[676] They're in two weeks, and I'm dreading how hot it's going to be.
[677] So they've thrown up a photo of the intimidator, and I guess they didn't want to give Goodrench, like, the free pub.
[678] So it's the black paint scheme.
[679] They gave Chevy some love.
[680] You get Dale Earnhardt Sr .'s signature on it, but no Good Ranch pain scheme on that.
[681] Was there a second car that had, like, the Wrangler scheme?
[682] No?
[683] No, but it is an intimidating ride, and speaking of it being, like, very hot at the amusement parks.
[684] One time, we went there in July, and it was really, really hot.
[685] And this was just as the intimidator opened.
[686] So, like, the lines were super long, and I got right up to the front, and I passed out, and they wouldn't let me on the ride.
[687] And it wasn't because I was nervous or anything.
[688] It was just because it was so hot and it was so embarrassing because they opened the gates for us to get on the ride.
[689] And I'm like, hell, yeah, and immediately I hit the ground.
[690] You pass out.
[691] I'm not going to lie.
[692] I probably wouldn't let you ride either.
[693] I'd just be afraid.
[694] Seems like a liability on it.
[695] They shouldn't let me on.
[696] But I went to the nurse, and they were like, yeah, girl, you were just, it's really hot.
[697] And so they gave me food.
[698] and then I went on the ride.
[699] It was so embarrassing.
[700] Eight years ago, I had a, I have a cousin -in -law, John, he's very cheap.
[701] And I made a deal with him.
[702] We went to Bush Gardens.
[703] And I said, tell you what, I'll pay for your ticket if when you get inside, they can paint your face and I choose what they paint your face with.
[704] He's like, deal.
[705] He didn't hesitate.
[706] He took the deal.
[707] So we get inside.
[708] I get his face painted like a cheetah.
[709] He passes out because the son and has to get medical.
[710] attention.
[711] There's a cheetah, like, has a cheetah.
[712] Let me see if I could find the photo of, like, all the pain on his face.
[713] He was, like, 34 at the time, and he just had all this cheetah pain.
[714] It was, like, when we were stopping for lunch, it was like, it was a scary thing at first whenever somebody passes out, you're always, like, fear in the worst.
[715] But he popped right back up, like, what happened?
[716] And he had to receive medical treatment.
[717] Why am I sweating?
[718] He had to keep it the entire day, and, like, because he was so dehydrated, he had to go into a CVS with all that smeared cheetah.
[719] Now that is a core memory.
[720] Glenn Powell, are we just at the beginning of the intimidator ride?
[721] Are we at the middle?
[722] Yeah, I'm not sure exactly where we're at.
[723] I know we have four upcoming projects, according to IMDB, and the descriptions of each of them are very different.
[724] So I'm going to bring these to you with whatever co -stars are apparently linked to them.
[725] So one is called Huntington.
[726] A young man hatches a murderous plot to inherit his family's wealth, starring Glenn Powell and Margaret Qualley.
[727] It'd be great if that's like a, if that's like Paddington 4, where she was like a nemesis.
[728] Then we have Monsanto.
[729] Young attorney, Brent Wisener, played by Powell, takes on a case against Monsanto on behalf of groundskeeper Dwayne Lee Johnson.
[730] Dwayne Johnson.
[731] Who used, only one way this movie goes out.
[732] Who used the company's weed killer Roundup and developed cancer, despite Monsanto's toxicologist testifying to round it.
[733] up safety that Dwayne Lee Johnson is played by Anthony Mackey, Laura Dern will also be in this movie.
[734] Oh, love Laura Dern.
[735] So that's like male Aaron Brockovich.
[736] Yeah, you guys are really going to like this one.
[737] This one's called Chad Powers.
[738] A disgraced college quarterback named Russ Holliday disguises himself as Chad Powers and walks onto a struggling Southern football team to revive his football career.
[739] This is a TV show.
[740] Starring Glenn Powell and Steve Zon.
[741] That's a TV show.
[742] You're right.
[743] That is a TV series.
[744] So Lucy, that's the Eli Manning character, right?
[745] It was the Eli Manning character.
[746] It was like a sports center thing, I think, where he was like Chad Powers dressed up in a disguise and went and tried out for the Penn State football team.
[747] And so it was just Eli Manning.
[748] And God, they need a quarterback.
[749] Yeah, yeah.
[750] And so I actually remember seeing the tweet that they were making a movie out of this or TV show, whatever they're doing with Glenn Powell.
[751] But it's based off a funny, like a funny little sketch.
[752] Is this like the Siddakis thing?
[753] It was just like an ad, like, yeah.
[754] He did a thing for NBC.
[755] and now we're going to make a show out of it.
[756] Hey, but you went to the very top of the heap.
[757] That worked out.
[758] Oh, I know.
[759] I'm just saying that that's crazy, that that's how that came to be.
[760] The last one is written by Stephen King and Edgar Wright, directed by Edgar Wright, the running man, the futuristic United States of 2025.
[761] What?
[762] The world has become a dystopia.
[763] What?
[764] They're making a running man movie.
[765] But it's in 2025.
[766] Yeah, for real.
[767] This is like two years away.
[768] It's the futuristic world, but there's no release date.
[769] It's already 2024.
[770] You've got to go to 55.
[771] At this point, imagine they're going to push it a little bit.
[772] No, I like that they wouldn't push it.
[773] I hate that.
[774] Like, let's clean up the mess.
[775] Like, Running Man was this dystopian future.
[776] Let's acknowledge the fact that, no, you're wrong.
[777] In just 12 months' time, everything is going to become running, man. It is funny how movies from, like, the 90s, when they talk about 2022, it looks like the Jetsons.
[778] Yeah.
[779] Monsanto, we can agree, is them.
[780] He's trying to grab some trophies with that one, right?
[781] I love a good courtroom.
[782] for sure who's going to play the Richard Dawson character in this new running man no one cast as of yet the only person linked his gun pal how about how about Matt Gates from two days ago yeah so we got that was a lot of movie segments really and uh we're going to take a break from that in the next segment with David Samson and I'm sorry look man it's like I said it's been a week I'm just trying to keep this one light it's been exhausting hey let's have a timeline cleanser Does video have, I want to do too quickly with the time that we have left.
[783] Show this video of Matthew Kachuk, taking the Stanley Cup around St. Louis.
[784] And also I want to show this photo so I could blow your minds with the stat of the day quickly if I can.
[785] So Matthew Kachuk, I found out in Tahoe, it was very important to him to take this Stanley Cup to his hometown in St. Louis.
[786] And there were all these adorable videos.
[787] He went to his elementary school.
[788] He went to his local fire department.
[789] He went to his local police department.
[790] He actually went to a brewery as well.
[791] Do we have the video of Matthew Kachuk and the student?
[792] This is just wholesome content.
[793] Do we have that?
[794] We do not.
[795] All right, do we have the photo of Matthew Kachuk with a Heisman trophy?
