Monday Mini: Haunted House Recap · Stuff Mom Never Told You

0:05
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha.
0:06
Speaker 2: I'm welcome to Stephan never told your protection of iHeartRadio.
0:18
Speaker 1: And welcome to our Monday Money. And this is a
0:21
Speaker 1: follow up because the last Monday Money talked about why
0:26
Speaker 1: people love haunted houses and Annie, we talked about the
0:29
Speaker 1: fact that, yes, it applies to you definitely, and I
0:33
Speaker 1: got to see that. I got to see all of
0:35
Speaker 1: that because we actually did a world wind trip of
0:40
Speaker 1: going to La to experience Universal Studios HHN and Annie
0:45
Speaker 1: is a pro, so she went ahead and booked the tickets.
0:49
Speaker 1: We got the two pm jury with express pass. And
0:55
Speaker 1: we know this is a very privileged statement to say,
0:57
Speaker 1: but if you can, that's probably the old way to
1:00
Speaker 1: experience all of the haunted houses in one evening. And yes,
1:05
Speaker 1: it is expensive and off the top, which is why
1:08
Speaker 1: when we talked about vacation previously that we talked about
1:12
Speaker 1: why most families can't afford such as that, and I'm like,
1:16
Speaker 1: oh my god, yeah, there was no way five years
1:18
Speaker 1: ago I could have afforded any of this one thing.
1:21
Speaker 1: We talked about that in your happy hour and how
1:23
Speaker 1: absurd it is to do these things. I get like,
1:26
Speaker 1: you try to go in and people really are disappointed.
1:30
Speaker 1: I've seen so many TikTok videos of people like, this
1:33
Speaker 1: is not fair. We paid, they didn't. They're still pretty
1:36
Speaker 1: expensive just for general admission, but having to stand in
1:39
Speaker 1: line and miss out or you only get two opportunities
1:43
Speaker 1: the entire night it was it is. It's absurd, and uh,
1:47
Speaker 1: it's not accessible. It's not accessible where we would because
1:51
Speaker 1: going up and down the escalators, I guess there's elevators somewhere,
1:54
Speaker 1: but again it's packed, so nothing's really accessible. So I
1:58
Speaker 1: feel like, yeah, this is a great experience, but it's
2:02
Speaker 1: very ablest and classist, like we're just go ahead and
2:06
Speaker 1: put that out there, so we understand this as we're
2:10
Speaker 1: talking about it and laughing about it and enjoying it, like, yes,
2:13
Speaker 1: that is a statement. We acknowledge it. But because we
2:17
Speaker 1: finally get to a point that we can do this,
2:20
Speaker 1: we did. I will say I have previously spoken about
2:24
Speaker 1: the fact that I do not love haunted houses, and
2:27
Speaker 1: is in fact I actually I had told Andy a
2:29
Speaker 1: long time ago I would never go to one because
2:32
Speaker 1: they are my nightmare. But look at me, look at us,
2:37
Speaker 1: because I did attend, and I did get to see
2:40
Speaker 1: Annie in action and her love for these tortures, and yeah,
2:47
Speaker 1: just so you know, we did get there a little early,
2:49
Speaker 1: not super early, but we checked out like some of
2:51
Speaker 1: the things. We didn't write anything, but the experience was nice.
2:55
Speaker 1: The hotel that Annie booked was right on Universe, so
3:00
Speaker 1: it was literally a five minute walk away. I came
3:02
Speaker 1: in very jet lacked. Immediately, I was like, I'm tired.
3:05
Speaker 1: But Annie was ready to go because she had been
3:08
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas so kind of had adjusted a little
3:11
Speaker 1: more than I have. But you still are traveling and
3:12
Speaker 1: traveling it like takes me out, like no matter what.
3:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you were ready to go.
3:18
Speaker 1: But because of the room that you booked, you were
3:21
Speaker 1: able to get the prime view and seating, y'all. I
3:25
Speaker 1: don't think in the hotel rooms. We barely talked because
3:28
Speaker 1: I was wiped out and Annie was loving every minute
3:32
Speaker 1: of the view and working on her fan fiction.
3:35
Speaker 2: It's true.
3:36
Speaker 3: It was very funny because it was a high up
3:40
Speaker 3: enough room that I could sort of like look down
3:42
Speaker 3: in to the park and if you've ever done Universal Orlando,
3:49
Speaker 3: La Universe La is very small, so I could get
3:53
Speaker 3: I could see a lot, I could survey from my perch.
3:56
Speaker 3: So I turned and I had my laptop up so
3:58
Speaker 3: I could do fan fiction stuff, but I could still
4:01
Speaker 3: see the park from the window of the hotel and Samantha.
4:06
Speaker 3: I loved it because I would be like, there's fire,
4:09
Speaker 3: it's a fireball, and I would just hear, mmmm.
4:13
Speaker 1: Asleep, this is me half asleep, pepping for what is
4:17
Speaker 1: like a stressful night for me, maybe because being crowds,
4:21
Speaker 1: being scared, all those things are not my favorite. But
4:25
Speaker 1: like I was like, Okay, I'm a prep I'm gonna
4:28
Speaker 1: be in a good situation. It was. We did. We
4:30
Speaker 1: had a great time. Like I was able to do
4:32
Speaker 1: everything and like go through it. I got tired at
4:34
Speaker 1: the end, but like I wasn't overly tired again. Going
4:37
Speaker 1: from Georgia to LA big time difference, and I had
4:40
Speaker 1: a layover, so my flight times would be like even
4:43
Speaker 1: though it's like I think a four and a half hour,
4:45
Speaker 1: five hour flight in total was like ten hours each way. Yea,
4:50
Speaker 1: so it was a little different. But yeah, so I
4:54
Speaker 1: would hear, oh my god, the fire, Oh my god,
4:56
Speaker 1: they're doing this, Oh my god, the crowds. Wait, why
4:59
Speaker 1: are they turning around? What's like every few minutes, and
5:01
Speaker 1: which I would be like, mm, hmmmm mm hmm neat.
5:06
Speaker 3: And then I started to like try to hold it
5:08
Speaker 3: my updates so I wouldn't bother you. But then you'd
5:10
Speaker 3: ask me, like what's going on. I'm like, right, here's
5:12
Speaker 3: what I've learned.
5:14
Speaker 1: So I would come back. I was like, oh, it's
5:15
Speaker 1: just too quiet. She's I don't know what she's doing,
5:17
Speaker 1: so I'll check out, like everything, Okay, what's going on
5:19
Speaker 1: over there? She's like WHOA well, and then I get
5:23
Speaker 1: that She's like I'm pretty sure because she was also
5:25
Speaker 1: assessing online as well about how to do everything, which
5:28
Speaker 1: was beautiful for me because I'm like, I'm just gonna
5:30
Speaker 1: follow you. This is wonderful, and so like that's how
5:33
Speaker 1: we began. We had a lovely dinner a Maakazi. The
5:37
Speaker 1: chef thought we were ridiculous, but he found us amusing.
5:41
Speaker 1: And then we went to uh the park, which, by
5:46
Speaker 1: the way, so we will We only did uber or
5:49
Speaker 1: A left a couple of times because we didn't leave much,
5:52
Speaker 1: but every time we did, they all were like not
5:54
Speaker 1: luxury but like higher in like we had a tesla
5:58
Speaker 1: at one point, we had and uh hybrid lexus all
6:02
Speaker 1: these things that I was like, well, I don't know.
6:06
Speaker 1: It's like it's just a part of like maintaining that
6:08
Speaker 1: car that they did lift. But it was very interesting
6:11
Speaker 1: to me. I was like, what are these cars? The
6:14
Speaker 1: Tesla was one because I was like I don't know
6:15
Speaker 1: how to get out, and the dude and you, I
6:20
Speaker 1: was like, I'm stuck. We live here, but he was prepared.
6:27
Speaker 1: We didn't know, like, yeah, you don't have a car
6:29
Speaker 1: like that is very true, sir, my car. Yes, apparently
6:33
Speaker 1: it is number one, but stolen car because there's something
6:35
Speaker 1: wrong with the startup but whatever. But yeah, so that
6:39
Speaker 1: was an interesting experience. But as we went, uh they
6:43
Speaker 1: were prepping so it hadn't quite happened yet. The turnover
6:46
Speaker 1: for uh hh n had not happened, so we got
6:51
Speaker 1: to see that process. So we were very early. We
6:52
Speaker 1: got to enjoy cheer ros because that was my one demand.
6:55
Speaker 1: I was like, I want che ros, So I got
6:58
Speaker 1: my chew Rose. Weaited, waited for a while, but uh yeah, an,
7:03
Speaker 1: can you describe the haunted houses?
7:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got there.
7:06
Speaker 3: It was a good time. It was kind of like
7:08
Speaker 3: right before it changed over. I could go into all
7:11
Speaker 3: of these details that people don't care about but me about,
7:14
Speaker 3: like the differences in Orlando and La but it was
7:16
Speaker 3: nice because in Orlando they kind of quarantine you, but
7:19
Speaker 3: they didn't really do that for us. We get a
7:20
Speaker 3: wristband walk around. We got to see the Super Mario
7:23
Speaker 3: Brothers World, which was awesome.
7:26
Speaker 1: It was very nice.
7:27
Speaker 3: It takes like beautiful pictures. Yes they clearly thought about
7:32
Speaker 3: which I'm sure of course, but like it takes really
7:35
Speaker 3: beautiful pictures. We didn't get to ride the ride, the
7:37
Speaker 3: Mario Kart ride, nor eat the food, but we had
7:40
Speaker 3: a nice We got to see it.
7:42
Speaker 2: We got to relax there for a minute.
7:44
Speaker 3: And then I think right about when the Haunted Houses
7:47
Speaker 3: started opening, we started with Las monstro.
7:54
Speaker 2: Monstairs.
7:55
Speaker 1: That's a plant.
7:57
Speaker 2: Oh well, it's not that.
8:00
Speaker 3: But this was a real test because at this point
8:02
Speaker 3: I was like, I don't know what's going to happen
8:05
Speaker 3: with though I've been and this was our first onunt
8:08
Speaker 3: it ask, I had never been to it, so I
8:10
Speaker 3: had I didn't have like some kind of knowledge I
8:14
Speaker 3: could give that I tried to do with some of
8:16
Speaker 3: the other ones, and uh, I thought it went well.
8:20
Speaker 3: You definitely squeezed my hand pretty tight, and I was
8:23
Speaker 3: like I could get some damage here.
8:25
Speaker 1: But overall, I will say that there was one house
8:29
Speaker 1: you squeezed my hand more than I squeezed yours. I
8:32
Speaker 1: was very surprised by that. But yes, most majority of
8:36
Speaker 1: the time we immediately went in. So we started off
8:39
Speaker 1: with that one, not knowing what to expect. Obviously the
8:43
Speaker 1: front we do have a good video of all of it.
8:47
Speaker 1: But like we walked in and there's like a grim
8:50
Speaker 1: ripper type of thing at the beginning with his little
8:53
Speaker 1: uh sigh. So we walked in and immediately like there
9:00
Speaker 1: are people painted as a Laurana, which is the legend
9:04
Speaker 1: Mexican legend I believe of the one that kills the
9:08
Speaker 1: children because she's like a mourning mother, but like it's
9:11
Speaker 1: different monsters from that legend, and they do pop out
9:15
Speaker 1: of windows, which they love to do, which wasn't like
9:18
Speaker 1: it was scary. I was screaming. I definitely not only
9:21
Speaker 1: held Annie's hand, I actually grabbed onto the back of
9:23
Speaker 1: her jacket as well. As we were going around and
9:27
Speaker 1: I realized, okay, these are open windows. I could see them,
9:30
Speaker 1: and Annie would point at them like that it's coming here,
9:33
Speaker 1: it's coming here, and so I would try to dodge
9:36
Speaker 1: and because Annie was so excited and they saw her.
9:40
Speaker 1: They would pop out at her, and I'm like, okay, great,
9:42
Speaker 1: there are people in front of us. So as long
9:44
Speaker 1: as we were in a crew, we were fine. Yes,
9:46
Speaker 1: because they just kind of pinpoint different people who would
9:49
Speaker 1: scream who didn't. There would be like dudes who's just
9:51
Speaker 1: like whatever, not gonna not gonna scream whatever. There was
9:54
Speaker 1: one dude it was like the entire time, but I
9:56
Speaker 1: believe scared out of me because all he did was
10:00
Speaker 1: scream but there was nothing there, and I screamed too.
10:02
Speaker 1: I was like why and I got mad at immediately,
10:04
Speaker 1: like why would you do that? But he was scared,
10:07
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't like there was other people who who
10:10
Speaker 1: actually were trying to full mess with us or their
10:12
Speaker 1: girlfriends or their days whatever, but this one he actually
10:17
Speaker 1: was scared and just ran into a wall and screamed
10:22
Speaker 1: and I screamed, and I was very mad at them.
10:24
Speaker 1: So we came out and my I think response was okay, okay, okay, okay,
10:27
Speaker 1: I did it. I did it. I did it. I
10:29
Speaker 1: did it all right, that wasn't bad, okay, okay, okay,
10:34
Speaker 1: I did Like we need to go get something now.
10:37
Speaker 1: That's my theory when I go Christmas shopping because I
10:40
Speaker 1: hate shopping. It's like, if I go to a busy store, afterwards,
10:43
Speaker 1: I deserve a treat. Whether it's an ice cream or
10:45
Speaker 1: a cupcake, I'm gonna get it. But that was I
10:47
Speaker 1: was like, we'red to go a treat. Let's treats. We
10:50
Speaker 1: missed the opening we did we missed the opening show,
10:53
Speaker 1: but we could hear it because there was like screaming
10:55
Speaker 1: and a fire and which Annie had.
10:58
Speaker 2: Been seeing the entire time commenting on you. So that
11:04
Speaker 2: was that was. That was good.
11:05
Speaker 1: But I made it to that one and you were
11:08
Speaker 1: like okay.
11:09
Speaker 3: And then we took like a little break and then
11:12
Speaker 3: we did. I think we did Evil Dead Rising next
11:17
Speaker 3: because it was right right next to it, and that
11:20
Speaker 3: one I hadn't been to either, and it scared me.
11:21
Speaker 1: That was that was a freaky That was a freaky one.
11:25
Speaker 1: That was the one that you were squeezing my hand.
11:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I was.
11:29
Speaker 3: There was a couple I always think of as it
11:33
Speaker 3: Sean Evans from Hot Ones. He always has that quote
11:36
Speaker 3: where you're like the guests will be like you're sweating
11:39
Speaker 3: now too, and he always says like I'm not immune too.
11:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked that part though.
11:45
Speaker 3: I like the getting scared, yes, And I was thinking
11:49
Speaker 3: about our conversation previously about why people like it or don't.
11:53
Speaker 3: I know I've said this before, but I have actually
11:54
Speaker 3: have trouble screaming, like in auditions and stuff. I can't
11:59
Speaker 3: I don't want to try too much attention to myself
12:01
Speaker 3: or whatever it is. And a haunted house was like
12:03
Speaker 3: a really fun place to just like, let loose, let
12:06
Speaker 3: those screams go.
12:08
Speaker 1: Man, your screams are deep though, like like that level
12:13
Speaker 1: that's where I do both. And sometimes I'm like, no,
12:16
Speaker 1: like I actually physically scream uh, physical people in order
12:21
Speaker 1: to do but yeah, you have the deep scream which
12:23
Speaker 1: made me laugh.
12:25
Speaker 2: Yeah pretty hard.
12:28
Speaker 1: Okay, Like there were people with us that I actually
12:30
Speaker 1: scream screamed, uh, And so I was I was so
12:35
Speaker 1: busy hiding that some of the times I was like
12:37
Speaker 1: distracted because Evil Dead Rise Uh was was good and
12:41
Speaker 1: it was scary and the zombies come popping out of nowhere,
12:44
Speaker 1: like what the hell is that? And I screamed pretty good. Bit.
12:48
Speaker 1: We squeezed each other hands. I left, and I think
12:50
Speaker 1: I might have doubled over at the exit. I was
12:54
Speaker 1: like Okay, okay, I think that was where that happened.
13:00
Speaker 1: There was like the ones that we knew about wasn't
13:03
Speaker 1: as scary, so the Chucky not that scary. I was like, okay,
13:06
Speaker 1: that's just more eugh. He got me that one time, though,
13:10
Speaker 1: and you let it happen. I wanted it happen. Yeah,
13:12
Speaker 1: it was quite funny. It's like it's coming, but you
13:15
Speaker 1: loved it. You I'm not gonna love this. I liked
13:19
Speaker 1: the fact that I saw it because I was far
13:20
Speaker 1: enough behind and he was too far up to see
13:23
Speaker 1: running from behind a door, and I was like, oh,
13:26
Speaker 1: there it goes.
13:28
Speaker 2: It was funny.
13:39
Speaker 3: One of my favorite things is I think it was
13:41
Speaker 3: the Stranger Things one. So a lot of the bigger
13:43
Speaker 3: ones Evil Dead rise kind of separately, but a lot
13:46
Speaker 3: of the bigger ones, like Chucky, the Last of Us Exorcists,
13:50
Speaker 3: are not scary Stranger Things.
13:51
Speaker 2: They're much more like, oh.
13:53
Speaker 3: Cool, look at that visual effects. Yeah, which, and they
13:56
Speaker 3: have jump scares, don't get me wrong at all, but
13:58
Speaker 3: like not as many.
14:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's much.
14:01
Speaker 1: More like whoo.
14:06
Speaker 3: But there are certain jumps that really got me, and
14:08
Speaker 3: one of them was in a Stranger Things.
14:10
Speaker 2: So the scientists came for me. He came for me.
14:14
Speaker 3: But I like how there was one part I feel
14:16
Speaker 3: like in the Exorcist where you turned me around like this,
14:22
Speaker 3: so I was facing like the wall.
14:26
Speaker 1: Okay, let me explain, because I did I physically. I
14:31
Speaker 1: physically moved her like psationally is what happened, because I
14:35
Speaker 1: grabbed onto our bag of her jackets so tightly that
14:38
Speaker 1: I was controlling her arms and her entire body. And
14:42
Speaker 1: because I was behind her, I think I actually had
14:45
Speaker 1: one hand to I had a hand and I was
14:48
Speaker 1: trying to arrest you, essentially because I was like, no,
14:52
Speaker 1: I'm not about this life in which there would be
14:56
Speaker 1: times where I could not figureut where people were coming
14:59
Speaker 1: and I could not figure out what was happening. There
15:01
Speaker 1: was one time when I talked about being separated from
15:04
Speaker 1: the group. There was such a gap between the people
15:07
Speaker 1: in front of you and us that we we gave
15:11
Speaker 1: enough time for the people who scare people to jump
15:13
Speaker 1: out every time, every time, so I never had a break.
15:17
Speaker 1: I was pissed you were, and I kept screaming at
15:21
Speaker 1: any move. I just kept saying that at the same
15:26
Speaker 1: time I was grabbing and pushing her, and every time
15:29
Speaker 1: I saw a window. I would block in the window
15:32
Speaker 1: of where they popped out with Annie's body, Like, so,
15:35
Speaker 1: let's learn apocalypse happened. I told you I would sacrifice you. Yeah,
15:39
Speaker 1: that's that's exactly what.
15:43
Speaker 2: I told you. What I would do.
15:44
Speaker 1: I would trip you, I would move you, I would
15:46
Speaker 1: physically put you in harms way.
15:49
Speaker 2: It was really funny, though I loved it.
15:51
Speaker 1: I was just like, you were so good because not
15:56
Speaker 1: only did you find it funny, you found it like
16:00
Speaker 1: I think you was like, yeah, okay, I'm going this way.
16:02
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like, well, as the person who doesn't
16:06
Speaker 1: like to make decisions, I was making decisions about how
16:09
Speaker 1: you were moving through these areas. And because again we
16:12
Speaker 1: got separated, they were coming out us every time, and
16:16
Speaker 1: because my reaction and your reaction was so big, they
16:19
Speaker 1: loved coming at us that many times. I was pissed
16:21
Speaker 1: at this point.
16:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was the one I told you
16:25
Speaker 2: wasn't scared.
16:25
Speaker 1: Yeah. So there was two that we didn't know what
16:27
Speaker 1: it was and you thought it wasn't too bad. One
16:30
Speaker 1: of them was the Unmasked, which was the fan of
16:33
Speaker 1: the opera. It's not a big deal, and they were scariest,
16:35
Speaker 1: Like what the Fanny that was scary. What the hell?
16:39
Speaker 1: Because not only was it scary to me, they had
16:42
Speaker 1: which I don't love anyway. Anything that is giant, Yeah,
16:47
Speaker 1: giant replica of anything freaks me out, freaks me out.
16:51
Speaker 1: So this is why I have a hard time with
16:52
Speaker 1: rides that have giant like the Jurassic Park ride. I
16:56
Speaker 1: won't do it, but it scares me so badly because
16:58
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is gonna come off, fall off if
17:00
Speaker 1: it hit us, or it's gonna come to life. Like
17:02
Speaker 1: that's my biggestphere. I've seen way too many eighties horse
17:04
Speaker 1: movies like this, which is also why I don't like
17:08
Speaker 1: the Freddy's Did You Freddy's Fright Night, which is this
17:13
Speaker 1: whole basis is like they come to life and kill you.
17:15
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, that's my fear. But like
17:18
Speaker 1: an unmasked which is supposed to be kind of like
17:20
Speaker 1: a generic Fantom of the Opera as you had told me. Yeah,
17:26
Speaker 1: and in Orlando, apparently it wasn't that scary. In California
17:31
Speaker 1: it was. And this one dude saw my reaction because
17:35
Speaker 1: and he had gotten too far ahead of me, so
17:37
Speaker 1: therefore he popped out three different times. No, two different times,
17:41
Speaker 1: and then once I really did try to reach me
17:43
Speaker 1: and he came too close, and to the fact that
17:45
Speaker 1: I did the mom no no no, no, no no
17:47
Speaker 1: no finger at him, yes, and I know he had
17:49
Speaker 1: to be like what the hell no no no, no, no, no, no,
17:52
Speaker 1: no no.
17:54
Speaker 3: No.
17:54
Speaker 1: I was so mad and it was like you told
17:57
Speaker 1: me it wasn't scary, and it ended up being one
17:59
Speaker 1: of the scary are your ones? Especially because they were
18:02
Speaker 1: on stilts. That was the other part that he was
18:04
Speaker 1: on stilts. Yes, he was giant and looming over me,
18:07
Speaker 1: came scared me twice and then reached for me, and
18:09
Speaker 1: I was like hell, nah.
18:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, well and it's really it was really calm.
18:12
Speaker 3: It was scary, like, don't get me wrong, but it
18:14
Speaker 3: was comical that he literally jumped out like three times
18:18
Speaker 3: in the space of like ten seconds.
18:19
Speaker 1: Yes, it was very the other losing my mind, yes,
18:24
Speaker 1: because he was looming at me and I was like no.
18:26
Speaker 1: And then so at the end, not only did you
18:27
Speaker 1: jump at me, he reached for me. I was like,
18:30
Speaker 1: there was another one that did the same thing. And
18:32
Speaker 1: then they reached for me and I was like why
18:36
Speaker 1: it was the holidays in hell one?
18:38
Speaker 2: Oh, there was a holidays in Hell one there was
18:40
Speaker 2: one where you like walked through. This was not in Orlando.
18:44
Speaker 3: He walked through and it was like a calendar of
18:47
Speaker 3: holidays and they had all gone wrong, and that one
18:50
Speaker 3: had a lot of odors.
18:51
Speaker 1: That one had like yeah, had smells, had a demon lebrecon. Look.
18:56
Speaker 1: I guess I'm scared of the small things. I could
18:59
Speaker 1: eat my legs. I don't know, because he wasn't that
19:02
Speaker 1: small though. It's probably in my height, yeah, honestly. But
19:05
Speaker 1: like because of the face makeup, which all the makeup
19:08
Speaker 1: was stupendous, Like they did an amazing job, Like, and
19:11
Speaker 1: he didn't just leak out. I think he ran across
19:15
Speaker 1: the stage at one point and they're still all blocked
19:18
Speaker 1: off so they don't cross you, but like the way
19:21
Speaker 1: he ran, it felt like he could because of the angles.
19:23
Speaker 1: And I was like, and he did it twice. Yeah,
19:27
Speaker 1: and I didn't like it.
19:28
Speaker 2: No, you didn't know it was good.
19:32
Speaker 3: We also saw, like I know, I'm a terrible person,
19:36
Speaker 3: but I always look up for fights at theme parks,
19:38
Speaker 3: and we saw a duel.
19:40
Speaker 1: Yeah. They were all, oh, they're in the general admission line,
19:43
Speaker 1: so that had to have been like because all the
19:45
Speaker 1: weights were like one hundred and twenty minutes, and this
19:46
Speaker 1: almost put the exercist, which is one hundred and fifty minutes. Yeah,
19:50
Speaker 1: they were at the front and they got in the
19:52
Speaker 1: fight and they left. I was like, oh, the coup sucks.
19:56
Speaker 3: And we were right next to them, and the guy
20:00
Speaker 3: like she she was mad about something, turned away like
20:04
Speaker 3: cross her arms, and he said to his friends like
20:06
Speaker 3: you can have her, and they tried to stop him
20:08
Speaker 3: from leaving, and he crossed right in front of us
20:11
Speaker 3: and like ripped away and then ran off. And then
20:13
Speaker 3: the the friends said to the woman, like, aren't you
20:17
Speaker 3: gonna go after him? She paused a moment and then
20:19
Speaker 3: went And I appreciate this. They stayed in the line.
20:24
Speaker 1: They were like no, no, no, yeah, because it was
20:26
Speaker 1: so intense, Like at first we were like are they playing? Yeah.
20:28
Speaker 1: We thought were like joking because like my partner and
20:31
Speaker 1: I will be joking about things and like especially at
20:34
Speaker 1: a hunt house, like it have like me and you.
20:36
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I'm sacrificing you. How dare you do
20:38
Speaker 1: this to me? That type of thing, And it's a
20:40
Speaker 1: joke obviously, But so we didn't know because at one
20:44
Speaker 1: point she brings in her grandma. The conversation, I was like,
20:50
Speaker 1: what the hell, Like they're bringing family trauma into this argument,
20:53
Speaker 1: Like I don't know what's happening. And then like he's
20:56
Speaker 1: like and I'm done, and they're intuscated, like because the
21:00
Speaker 1: way he tries to go under the rope, the friend
21:03
Speaker 1: grabs him. He goes backwards into the person in front
21:05
Speaker 1: of us, who was like what is happening and like
21:08
Speaker 1: he's like, let me go, and he's like, y'all can
21:10
Speaker 1: y'all can handle her? Yeah, that's how he says. And
21:13
Speaker 1: he walks off, and he was like, you're gonna let
21:15
Speaker 1: him live? Leave like that, like trying to convince her,
21:18
Speaker 1: to convince him to come back, because they were trying
21:20
Speaker 1: to be like, look, we've been in this line forever.
21:21
Speaker 1: Don't do this. Yeah, and like she loved and he
21:25
Speaker 1: was like well yeah, and we were all like, why.
21:28
Speaker 2: Did she go?
21:29
Speaker 1: She told him to leave.
21:31
Speaker 3: I know, I think she should have should Maybe that's
21:33
Speaker 3: why not good relationships.
21:37
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the one that chose. Why are you
21:38
Speaker 1: chasing after him because you told him to go. At
21:40
Speaker 1: one point he was like, I'm dude, she's like go yeah,
21:43
Speaker 1: So I was like, hey, did that you You know y'all,
21:47
Speaker 1: y'all are this is embarrassing for everybody. I will say
21:51
Speaker 1: there wasn't too many children. There were a few children
21:53
Speaker 1: there that I was surprised by. That was the one
21:56
Speaker 1: with an infant. And when I say infant, I mean
21:59
Speaker 1: maybe like it's a small baby to begin with, so
22:04
Speaker 1: but like not more than two months if that, like
22:08
Speaker 1: it was tiny, yelled, Oh, she's committed. She's committed to
22:12
Speaker 1: being here because I couldn't imagine. I was afraid of
22:14
Speaker 1: holding my cell phone in my hand because I thought
22:17
Speaker 1: I would drop it from trying to run away. So
22:21
Speaker 1: having a full fledged baby that was a that was interesting. Yeah.
22:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, also say we were very fortunate we get to
22:31
Speaker 2: walk right on to stranger things. That was amazing. Is
22:34
Speaker 2: that one? The wait is very long.
22:36
Speaker 3: But yeah, before we get into my last of US comparison,
22:40
Speaker 3: I want to shout out my friend Katie, who made
22:43
Speaker 3: all of these bracelets, because they have been trading bracelets.
22:48
Speaker 2: It turns out they're doing it more in.
22:51
Speaker 1: I think it's different nights too.
22:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we had a really really I think beautiful
22:58
Speaker 3: interaction where you we had sat down at a table
23:03
Speaker 3: and these other two women sat down next to us,
23:06
Speaker 3: and you asked like, hey, would you want a bracelet?
23:08
Speaker 3: And it turns out they were employees, and employees aren't
23:11
Speaker 3: allowed to wear bracelets, but they were off they just
23:13
Speaker 3: gotten off duty, and they were so happy about it.
23:16
Speaker 3: They like picks the ones they wanted.
23:18
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I handed it to her.
23:20
Speaker 3: No, the I gave her the because we had like
23:23
Speaker 3: Cara Beaner's full of bracelets and we were just walking
23:26
Speaker 3: around with them.
23:27
Speaker 2: I actually felt very official and I liked it.
23:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were so happy, and one of them was like,
23:33
Speaker 3: you've made my day and gave us a fast pass,
23:35
Speaker 3: and it was just a nice little yeah.
23:38
Speaker 1: Because she has actually mentioned I've been I've been seeing
23:41
Speaker 1: people do this. We can't accept them, which, by the way,
23:44
Speaker 1: apparently a few people have though, like several old employees do.
23:48
Speaker 1: But like she was like, but I've been wanting one
23:51
Speaker 1: and i haven't been able to participate. I'm so excited.
23:53
Speaker 1: And then we gave a couple of two other people
23:55
Speaker 1: like we don't have any things to exchange, so they
23:57
Speaker 1: knew what we were talking about, and we try to
24:00
Speaker 1: hunt people down to give it to them, and they
24:03
Speaker 1: just really like no one was doing it, and every
24:05
Speaker 1: time we see somebody they would be in such a
24:07
Speaker 1: scurry that I couldn't get to them. Yeah enough, or
24:09
Speaker 1: they would be but like, yeah, there was not really
24:13
Speaker 1: much trading. And because several of the bracelets, because ours
24:16
Speaker 1: was definitely like the small beads, which Katie did a
24:19
Speaker 1: beautiful job. I love them all, but like a lot
24:22
Speaker 1: of people were wearing actual prayer beads or like meditations,
24:26
Speaker 1: so we're like.
24:26
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't want to do that. Yeah yeah, then
24:30
Speaker 2: the thing that oh we're just kidding. Yeah yeah.
24:35
Speaker 3: So it was definitely a bigger deal in Ourlando, but
24:37
Speaker 3: it was fun and we got to we did. I
24:40
Speaker 3: think about half of them are gone, mostly from you
24:43
Speaker 3: because you were much better.
24:44
Speaker 2: At it than me I was.
24:44
Speaker 1: So I started hanging them out.
24:46
Speaker 2: You were just like taking them. I was like, whoa.
24:50
Speaker 1: You want?
24:50
Speaker 2: So that that was really fun.
24:53
Speaker 3: But yes, the last house we did was the last
24:56
Speaker 3: of us, and uh, because I felt like we were
25:01
Speaker 3: in a good place. The last house we did in
25:03
Speaker 3: Orlando was also the last of us, but at that
25:05
Speaker 3: point we had been out and it was hot and
25:07
Speaker 3: we were tired. But this I felt good, went in
25:11
Speaker 3: and they are very different. Uh this they both take
25:15
Speaker 3: place in the same section of the game, but they're
25:18
Speaker 3: not the same section. So the one in Orlando is
25:22
Speaker 3: when you first get to Pittsburgh and it's a trap.
25:24
Speaker 3: This one was like the sewer part when you're with Sam,
25:29
Speaker 3: but it I mean it had a really cool had
25:32
Speaker 3: Ellie telling puns number one, which she does not do
25:35
Speaker 3: in Orlando.
25:36
Speaker 2: Oh no, I love puns.
25:37
Speaker 1: No, no puns.
25:39
Speaker 3: I mean in Orlando there's like two actors at the
25:43
Speaker 3: beginning and then the rest is a projection behind a screen,
25:46
Speaker 3: so you can't see them, but you can hear them.
25:49
Speaker 3: They had a really cool bloater ripping somebody's face apart.
25:55
Speaker 2: Oh it was cool.
25:56
Speaker 1: They had two blowterers.
25:58
Speaker 2: They had two blowters, They had all the clickers that
25:59
Speaker 2: popped up.
26:00
Speaker 3: I liked when Ellie was like in her yeah, she
26:04
Speaker 3: said this is awkward because she's I read a review
26:07
Speaker 3: somebody did a good review of like the differences between them,
26:11
Speaker 3: and they were like the one in La feels like
26:14
Speaker 3: you're in the game because you know, like there's a
26:17
Speaker 3: lot more Ellie and Joel in her interaction.
26:20
Speaker 1: Right, so I think like three pairs if not, Yeah, yeah, and.
26:25
Speaker 2: The one in Orlando, like they had that really cool
26:28
Speaker 2: spore effect.
26:30
Speaker 3: I would say that one's much more uh much less
26:34
Speaker 3: you're in the game, but more haunted house, if that
26:36
Speaker 3: makes sense.
26:38
Speaker 2: But I loved it, and I'm really glad that I
26:40
Speaker 2: did it.
26:41
Speaker 3: I'm glad that I have such a good friend like
26:43
Speaker 3: you who convinced me to do it and who came
26:46
Speaker 3: with me.
26:47
Speaker 2: Even though it's not your.
26:48
Speaker 1: Face, y'all have been trying to pawn it off to
26:51
Speaker 1: people and everybody easily, I'm coming.
27:06
Speaker 2: But I had a really good time.
27:08
Speaker 3: I had a really good time, and I just appreciate
27:11
Speaker 3: you so much. So I want you to know I
27:13
Speaker 3: saw what you did and I appreciated it.
27:17
Speaker 1: I will say I had fun. I did have fun.
27:19
Speaker 1: I was very proud that I made it all the
27:21
Speaker 1: way through. I sent my partner at text. I was like, Hey,
27:24
Speaker 1: I did it, and he's like, I'm actually surprised because
27:28
Speaker 1: I had honestly been prepared to be like I can't
27:30
Speaker 1: take it. I'm gonna sit down, like, let her do
27:33
Speaker 1: a couple on your own so that I didn't have
27:35
Speaker 1: to experience. But like I'm like, all right, here we go.
27:37
Speaker 1: Because we didn't think too much of it, and because
27:39
Speaker 1: we went so fast, and I wonder if it had
27:42
Speaker 1: to wait too long, if I changed my mind.
27:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, honestly, probably because I've done it, Like I said,
27:50
Speaker 3: I did it with my friend Katie, or we were
27:53
Speaker 3: there the whole night almost and we only got in three.
27:57
Speaker 2: And I think the three we got in were not
28:00
Speaker 2: the big ones.
28:01
Speaker 3: And not that that like some of my favorite ones are,
28:03
Speaker 3: like they're not big commercial ones, but uh, I do
28:08
Speaker 3: think it's almost like when you wait for a roller
28:10
Speaker 3: coaster and the anticipation builds and you get nervouser and nervouser.
28:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that probably would have happened. But because
28:18
Speaker 1: we were able to get through, like the scary Stranger
28:20
Speaker 1: things literally we walked in, yeah, and we felt really
28:23
Speaker 1: bad because even though that's what you paid for, the
28:26
Speaker 1: line was so far back literally like where we entered,
28:30
Speaker 1: where the beginning started, was where people were lined up too,
28:34
Speaker 1: And the fact that we just kept walking and then
28:36
Speaker 1: immediately walked in, we were like whoa what whoa? Yeah,
28:40
Speaker 1: it was very surprising. Yeah, but like, yeah, I think
28:43
Speaker 1: those scarier ones were the ones that you didn't know
28:46
Speaker 1: us much about. Yeah, So maybe it's because you are
28:49
Speaker 1: actually told me about it, but like the chiny one
28:51
Speaker 1: was not scary at all, like to me. There again
28:54
Speaker 1: people ran out again. It could have been the spacing,
28:57
Speaker 1: so no one jumped out at me.
28:58
Speaker 2: Really uh.
28:59
Speaker 1: And then like, even though I'm very scared of dolls
29:02
Speaker 1: like that, like the Chucky movies, I've never been a fan.
29:04
Speaker 1: I'm not a big slasher fan anyway to that level.
29:07
Speaker 1: So it was like, no, thank you, but like the
29:10
Speaker 1: last of us. Yeah, I was so caught up and
29:12
Speaker 1: like seeing the different things, and they did have the
29:14
Speaker 1: actors who would come through, so I was trying to
29:16
Speaker 1: make sure like you saw and like I wanted to
29:19
Speaker 1: see and then and yeah, the actors were amazing. Yes,
29:24
Speaker 1: And then we had the uh, the Exorcist, which I
29:27
Speaker 1: know nothing really about, so because it's like they put
29:32
Speaker 1: on scenes except for the scientists. Was that the one
29:35
Speaker 1: with the scientists? Was that a scientist there was a
29:39
Speaker 1: scientist in there as well? Yeah, yeah, I can't remember,
29:42
Speaker 1: like because she made you made eye contact and he
29:45
Speaker 1: just stared you down until finally until he finally jumped
29:50
Speaker 1: out at you. And I thought that was hilarious because
29:52
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm buying here, I'm good, Like I
29:54
Speaker 1: was far enough away because I knew you were making
29:56
Speaker 1: that happen.
29:56
Speaker 2: I was like, uh, you did get a good chuckle
29:58
Speaker 2: out of that one.
30:00
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that one. I enjoyed that one. I enjoyed
30:01
Speaker 1: the guy running out from behind the door because I
30:04
Speaker 1: saw him do it. Yes, Like I saw him coming
30:06
Speaker 1: out and coming at you, and I was like, oh, okay,
30:09
Speaker 1: I think I yelled your name at one point though.
30:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh so I was like.
30:12
Speaker 1: Trying to get you to see them. But yeah, so
30:15
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. I did. Would I do that? I
30:18
Speaker 1: think the other part to this is that they all
30:20
Speaker 1: lasted five minutes. Yeah. Nice, So it had been a
30:23
Speaker 1: continuation of like a thirty minute thing, I would have
30:26
Speaker 1: been I would have been done, like I would have
30:28
Speaker 1: tried to like I would have been crying at the end. Yeah.
30:31
Speaker 2: And we did take breaks, which was nice. Like I
30:33
Speaker 2: think that's.
30:35
Speaker 3: One of the benefits having a smaller part because Orlando
30:39
Speaker 3: was much more walking. But it was Yeah, we took breaks,
30:42
Speaker 3: and it was really nice. It was nice that we
30:44
Speaker 3: had the ability to do that. And I had a
30:49
Speaker 3: great time. Ye had a great time. I love when
30:52
Speaker 3: we did these videos before and after and later I
30:55
Speaker 3: was like, maybe I should have done something different, But
30:57
Speaker 3: my honest reaction was like I was just so happy.
30:59
Speaker 1: I was both times. Yeah, mine, I think was just
31:01
Speaker 1: tired at the end because everybody I just said I'd
31:06
Speaker 1: almost lost my voice screaming at people at the end.
31:09
Speaker 1: From it went from my like higher pitched, louder scream too,
31:13
Speaker 1: to know at.
31:14
Speaker 3: The end, yes, yes, And it's funny because I think
31:20
Speaker 3: one of the longest lines I waited in was to
31:22
Speaker 3: get this Cortousip's cord dog.
31:24
Speaker 2: Yes of everything.
31:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, I sat and waited because I was like, I'm
31:28
Speaker 1: gonna eat these fries. We went to the Stellar Bar,
31:31
Speaker 1: which is the Stranger Things Bar, and it was cute.
31:35
Speaker 1: The drink was really fun, but I was like, I'm
31:37
Speaker 1: a sit you do I mean for I was talking
31:43
Speaker 1: to my partner on the bottles, like and he's going
31:45
Speaker 1: against that cortys up dog. I don't know what's happening.
31:47
Speaker 1: I got my chorros at the beginning.
31:50
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was so fun, And I know this
31:53
Speaker 3: is coming out like the day for Halloween, so I
31:54
Speaker 3: hope that you listeners listen to it h and enjoy. Marissa,
31:58
Speaker 3: who has been giving me feedback or other recaps. I
32:02
Speaker 3: hope that you enjoyed it.
32:04
Speaker 1: I was gonna say so because I asked you then,
32:08
Speaker 1: which one did you prefer?
32:10
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know if I could pay. I think
32:14
Speaker 3: that the circumstances were better for this one. And I
32:17
Speaker 3: was thinking about this because there is no park, there
32:22
Speaker 3: is no hotel that I'm aware of that you could
32:26
Speaker 3: just literally walk five minutes and get to it in Orlando.
32:30
Speaker 2: I could be totally wrong. I know Universal has the.
32:32
Speaker 3: Like boats you can take, so I think like the ability,
32:38
Speaker 3: because that's the problem, Like once you get to the
32:40
Speaker 3: end of the day, you're done and you want to
32:43
Speaker 3: be home, and then in Orlando that often means twenty
32:49
Speaker 3: to forty minute wait at the minimum to get to
32:52
Speaker 3: a ride to get to home. So I think there
32:56
Speaker 3: were things that made it much eas easier. And I
33:01
Speaker 3: had just gone to Orlando, so I didn't feel the
33:04
Speaker 3: same pressure I would normally feel to write every ride,
33:06
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, because I had just ridden
33:08
Speaker 3: all those rides, that's true.
33:09
Speaker 1: Yeah. And it was better weather.
33:12
Speaker 2: It was so much better weather.
33:14
Speaker 1: Nice and cool and breezy.
33:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my god. And also the I would say,
33:20
Speaker 2: the food options in uh LA were better, but I
33:25
Speaker 2: don't I don't.
33:25
Speaker 3: Know that either one is. I think they have categories.
33:29
Speaker 3: They both surpassed each other in most reviews I read
33:33
Speaker 3: that compared them were like Orlando is the bigger, more
33:37
Speaker 3: special effects, more haunted houses, Like it's the bigger one
33:41
Speaker 3: in La has like it's smaller, but also it gets
33:45
Speaker 3: more crowded more easily because it's smaller, So it's like
33:49
Speaker 3: and they.
33:49
Speaker 1: Said that they had a ski zone at the entrance,
33:52
Speaker 1: which was not nice.
33:53
Speaker 3: Yes for me, I tried to explain the scar zone
33:56
Speaker 3: and then I was like, oh, no, we're in one yea.
33:59
Speaker 1: As we were walking, they all come screaming at you.
34:01
Speaker 1: And by that point I was tired, but still like
34:04
Speaker 1: scared of like no yes, and like I would literally
34:09
Speaker 1: crunch into myself in like almost a walking fetal position,
34:11
Speaker 1: but no yes.
34:15
Speaker 2: To the actor. Yeah that was yeah, scared of someone
34:20
Speaker 2: at the entrance.
34:21
Speaker 3: I am sad we missed. I've never seen that opening ceremony.
34:24
Speaker 3: I don't think which is what they call it.
34:27
Speaker 1: But yeah, I had in the Haunted House when that
34:31
Speaker 1: was happening.
34:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we were, I think so, but yeah,
34:34
Speaker 2: I just I love you Samantha, I have you.
34:38
Speaker 1: Thanks for letting me literally take my anxiety out onto
34:42
Speaker 1: you and be like, no, you can't do this by yourself.
34:44
Speaker 2: I'm coming, And then we got to I got to
34:48
Speaker 2: be your shield.

34:54
Speaker 1: and I don't know that yet.
