- 0:29Speaker 4: So I still feel kind of drowsy, So I'm sticking
- 0:33Speaker 4: with coffee right now, Like I'm just having straight coffee.
- 0:36Speaker 4: I think that's a rarity for us because I don't
- 0:39Speaker 4: drink coffee past like three thirty unless I have some
- 0:43Speaker 4: activity going on.
- 0:45Speaker 1: So I've thought about it.
- 0:46Speaker 4: I'm like, this is the first time because it's not
- 0:48Speaker 4: that early, but for me, it's still like because it
- 0:50Speaker 4: is afternoon technically it is, but it still feels a
- 0:54Speaker 4: little too early for me to do, like I don't know,
- 0:57Speaker 4: soju or something.
- 0:58Speaker 1: So I'm like, I'm gonna do some coffee.
- 1:00Speaker 2: You okay, Well, I'm just drinking.
- 1:03Speaker 3: I have this thing where I have my we have
- 1:07Speaker 3: this sponsor who sent this like filtered water thing and
- 1:11Speaker 3: I only put that one container, but it takes a while. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:16Speaker 3: filter the water, right, So this is my unfiltered water.
- 1:23Speaker 4: All the things that's happening in Atlanta, Oh my gosh.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Look, I told my friend a while ago, years ago,
- 1:32Speaker 3: because if my sink it drips, and if I like
- 1:39Speaker 3: over like a week, this black stuff builds up around
- 1:42Speaker 3: the drain. And I told my friend, I was like,
- 1:45Speaker 3: you know, those things in life were one day. I'm
- 1:49Speaker 3: pretty sure I'm going to be like, yeah, I should
- 1:51Speaker 3: have been more worried about that.
- 1:56Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel only about many of things because of course,
- 1:59Speaker 4: like people are sending me things about oysters, you know.
- 2:02Speaker 1: With the brain eating me, by people dying.
- 2:04Speaker 4: And I'm like, yeah, it's fine people. And then like
- 2:07Speaker 4: Reese's Cups. Sorry, there's some things coming out about that
- 2:10Speaker 4: recently that I'm like, well, one more, I don't like
- 2:13Speaker 4: to eat Rece' stups.
- 2:13Speaker 1: I don't actually like them. Peanut butter candies are hit
- 2:16Speaker 1: and mess for me.
- 2:18Speaker 4: Not nothing personally any sure, but like recently there are
- 2:22Speaker 4: things coming out of there.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Oh, it's just a thing.
- 2:26Speaker 4: It's just inevitably all the food is now contaminated, has
- 2:30Speaker 4: been you know, messed with, and like not a great way.
- 2:35Speaker 4: It's so many unhealthy ingredients on everything. It's just kind
- 2:38Speaker 4: of like at this point, yeah, we should if we
- 2:43Speaker 4: could go back to the days, you know, way back
- 2:46Speaker 4: in the days where everything was quote unquote organic, we're gonna.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Say it that way where it's actually organic.
- 2:52Speaker 4: But also everybody died at twenty five to thirty, so
- 2:54Speaker 4: I mean, what's better?
- 2:55Speaker 1: Who knows?
- 3:00Speaker 2: Well, there you go, that's one way to start off.
- 3:04Speaker 4: Let's go, let's go to this happy hour because it's
- 3:07Speaker 4: gonna be about this anyway. Because I say that this
- 3:10Speaker 4: dude who's actually messing with like mushroom sportss that we were.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Like, what are you doing?
- 3:15Speaker 4: Bro?
- 3:16Speaker 1: Stop it? That you're the reason this happens.
- 3:19Speaker 3: I know all the time. All the time is how
- 3:23Speaker 3: it happens. So yes, I this is my long teased
- 3:28Speaker 3: just kind of a short recap of my recent trip
- 3:31Speaker 3: to Disney, which we did talk about kind of in
- 3:35Speaker 3: a recent Monday mini about Disney adults and childless women
- 3:38Speaker 3: at Disney in Universal. Because the trip was entirely planned
- 3:43Speaker 3: very quickly when being em my friends heard there was
- 3:47Speaker 3: gonna be a last of Us Haunted house, and I
- 3:49Speaker 3: think that day we were like, yes, this is it.
- 3:51Speaker 1: I got a text.
- 3:52Speaker 4: I got texted that day it's like, oh my god,
- 3:56Speaker 4: I'm going, and all was like good luck.
- 3:59Speaker 5: Famous words, there's last words It was really funny because
- 4:04Speaker 5: so many people asked me, oh, so you you were
- 4:08Speaker 5: running a race, because it used to be I only
- 4:10Speaker 5: went to Disney if I was running a race, and
- 4:12Speaker 5: I was like, nope, last of us, not a house,
- 4:14Speaker 5: no race involved.
- 4:15Speaker 2: It was just a house based.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Like specific reasons of going.
- 4:21Speaker 4: Because the two times I've went with you, one was
- 4:24Speaker 4: a ride I'm going to mention that name that we
- 4:28Speaker 4: have been like waiting for forever, and the other was
- 4:31Speaker 4: another ride that you've been waiting for forever, and like,
- 4:34Speaker 4: those are the main reasons we went.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think we both times we happened to
- 4:39Speaker 3: be in the area for work.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Yes, yes, it was a heavy coincidence.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Well I'm glad you describe it that way.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Yes, I enjoyed it.
- 4:50Speaker 3: I did, because that was one of the things I
- 4:54Speaker 3: kind of ended at at this on this trip, was
- 4:58Speaker 3: I don't I'm not good about like slowing my role.
- 5:04Speaker 2: I'm really mad about we paid.
- 5:05Speaker 3: This much money, we are getting up at this time
- 5:09Speaker 3: and we're going to maximize this whole thing.
- 5:12Speaker 1: And good at it, y'all.
- 5:13Speaker 4: I just I'm interrupting because the amount that she's leaving
- 5:17Speaker 4: out about the talent she has in maximizing the day.
- 5:22Speaker 4: She has point A to point B per hour and
- 5:24Speaker 4: all day, like we walk in before it opens so
- 5:27Speaker 4: we can get the best passes and spots and all
- 5:31Speaker 4: these things. And then she has a routine in order
- 5:35Speaker 4: to maximize all of the rides the efficiency, including the
- 5:38Speaker 4: way we're going to go in whether it's single riders,
- 5:41Speaker 4: and hopefully that we're gonna luck out being together or not,
- 5:44Speaker 4: to building it up to where you can do rides
- 5:47Speaker 4: and I can rest like those were the other Like
- 5:49Speaker 4: that's why I think I enjoyed it because you didn't
- 5:51Speaker 4: care if I came on or not. So that was
- 5:54Speaker 4: perfect for me because I didn't care if I went
- 5:56Speaker 4: on or not. And we didn't have to be together,
- 5:58Speaker 4: like you didn't have to sit with me. I didn't
- 5:59Speaker 4: have to go with you, So I was able to
- 6:01Speaker 4: pace myself even though still keeping up as best I
- 6:05Speaker 4: could to let you do. But I remember, like I
- 6:07Speaker 4: took off at one point, I was like, I'm gonna
- 6:08Speaker 4: go back to the hotel for about a few hours.
- 6:10Speaker 1: You enjoy it, and you were gone.
- 6:12Speaker 4: Like I was like, good by howwalking But literally, when
- 6:16Speaker 4: I say she did an all day thing, I mean
- 6:18Speaker 4: we started out at five am and ended it out
- 6:21Speaker 4: at twelve am, with some angry events in between, but
- 6:27Speaker 4: like nothing like live shattering, friend altering Yeah.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Which is you know, impressive for Disney.
- 6:37Speaker 1: So she got her money's worth, Like for sure, yes, but.
- 6:42Speaker 3: I have tried to get better about that because I
- 6:44Speaker 3: think it's perfect. I don't want people to be miserable.
- 6:47Speaker 3: I feel like one of the things I've run into.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Do any of my friends who went with me on
- 6:53Speaker 3: this and you're listening, I love you, But one of
- 6:55Speaker 3: the things I'm running into is I feel like I'm
- 6:59Speaker 3: trying to be maybe not in the best way, not
- 7:03Speaker 3: maybe not in the clearest but I'll be like, if
- 7:05Speaker 3: you're tired, I can do this. I want to do it,
- 7:09Speaker 3: but you And they're like, no, I'm going to get
- 7:12Speaker 3: my money's worth too. But then they're kind of miserable,
- 7:16Speaker 3: like I don't think this needed damn And they can
- 7:19Speaker 3: correct me if I'm wrong. But that just was the
- 7:21Speaker 3: vibe was we did all day at Universal. Universal has
- 7:28Speaker 3: some rides that make people nauseous. I mean, so does Disney,
- 7:31Speaker 3: but so there was a little bit of like nausea.
- 7:34Speaker 3: There's theme park food, which is never like the best,
- 7:37Speaker 3: and I kept trying.
- 7:39Speaker 2: Oh it was hot, it was so hot.
- 7:41Speaker 3: Oh, and there was just like none of us really
- 7:45Speaker 3: wore the right shoes. I include myself in that, actually,
- 7:49Speaker 3: well because I think they're.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Just old and they should have been fine.
- 7:53Speaker 3: But I think that it was flat, like the tread
- 7:56Speaker 3: had been worn more than I had realized because I
- 7:59Speaker 3: don't go out as much as I used to. But yeah,
- 8:03Speaker 3: there was definitely that, And it's just a lot of walking.
- 8:06Speaker 3: There's not a lot of seating. Theme parks don't have
- 8:08Speaker 3: a lot of seating.
- 8:09Speaker 4: I do remember bout that being a thing, but I
- 8:11Speaker 4: always found a seat, like.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Ye, there, you can't find a seat. But it's like
- 8:16Speaker 3: this like stone wall over here, like this.
- 8:20Speaker 4: Bouting like I'm behind the trash here, come find me.
- 8:28Speaker 3: But I feel like I normally go when it's cooler.
- 8:33Speaker 3: I think that was the biggest thing for me. And
- 8:36Speaker 3: you know, Florida doesn't get that cool even and I
- 8:39Speaker 3: normally go in November, but even then it's still like
- 8:41Speaker 3: right warm, but it's not as hot as that. But
- 8:46Speaker 3: so so we do this whole day at Universal and
- 8:50Speaker 3: then the Haunted House Park opens at six pm, and
- 8:55Speaker 3: then there's ten haunted houses and my two friends, well,
- 9:00Speaker 3: my good friend Marissa didn't do the day at the park.
- 9:03Speaker 3: She showed up later for just the Haunted hours Mark. Well,
- 9:06Speaker 3: she also wasn't reading the room again. I love you, Mrisa.
- 9:09Speaker 3: Everyone was like, slow down your power walking so fast.
- 9:15Speaker 4: I appreciate all of this because I'm like, yeah, I
- 9:18Speaker 4: get this, and Marissa and I are like very similar
- 9:21Speaker 4: in our tactics and understanding our own selves at this point.
- 9:24Speaker 4: And of course her being a nurse who tracks through
- 9:27Speaker 4: like eighteen hour days, so I can't even imagine she knows,
- 9:31Speaker 4: she knows what.
- 9:31Speaker 1: She can, can, won't, won't, will do.
- 9:36Speaker 2: She's like speeding along.
- 9:40Speaker 1: So she really did have a nursing emergency tread going.
- 9:45Speaker 2: Really did. And I kept mapping to look back and
- 9:47Speaker 2: make sure the other two were still in sight.
- 9:50Speaker 3: Amazing, but I'm teasing. These are like my beloved friends.
- 9:55Speaker 3: But it was just funny and there were no arguments
- 9:57Speaker 3: that were had. But by the time we got to
- 10:00Speaker 3: the Haunted House, the last of us on the house
- 10:02Speaker 3: was the last one we did. It was like silent.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Me and Marius were like, oh, let's take pictures and
- 10:08Speaker 3: then just no real.
- 10:13Speaker 4: That is also me, like your entire friend group is me,
- 10:15Speaker 4: like when I'm tired of like though, Well.
- 10:21Speaker 3: I'll read a little teaser for some episodes we have
- 10:24Speaker 3: coming up. Samantha is going with me to the Universal
- 10:28Speaker 3: in Hollywood.
- 10:29Speaker 4: Yeah, so we'll see, Oh my god, at least try
- 10:34Speaker 4: to get one video.
- 10:34Speaker 1: But I have a feeling if I try to use
- 10:36Speaker 1: like my camera phone at any point, I'm drop it.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and.
- 10:40Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose it because it's completely dark. Yeah, I
- 10:42Speaker 1: can't be having that.
- 10:44Speaker 3: Well, it was I'm very excited. One we are going
- 10:47Speaker 3: to talk about it more so. Just put a pin
- 10:49Speaker 3: in that. But I promise we're gonna talk about that
- 10:51Speaker 3: more so.
- 10:52Speaker 2: I'm very excited.
- 10:53Speaker 3: But I did find it. It was really fun. I
- 10:55Speaker 3: had a really great time because I had just sin.
- 10:57Speaker 3: Samantha and I just talked about this. I had on
- 10:59Speaker 3: that episod on sexism and haunted houses, and I was curious.
- 11:03Speaker 3: I was like, am I gonna I was kind of
- 11:05Speaker 3: doing my like Sminty, let me see. Ah, I would say,
- 11:11Speaker 3: not really outside of what is already in a lot
- 11:14Speaker 3: of horror movies, if that makes sense, Like you know,
- 11:17Speaker 3: things like The Exorcist, which is a haunted house there.
- 11:20Speaker 2: It is like young girls being possessed. So that stuff
- 11:23Speaker 2: was all there, But I don't feel like I had
- 11:25Speaker 2: a moment of.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah. However, there are a lot of hanted houses.
- 11:34Speaker 3: It's perfectly possible that my brain just because the funny
- 11:38Speaker 3: thing about me is I love haunted houses.
- 11:42Speaker 2: I love horror.
- 11:43Speaker 3: I'm also easily scared, which is gonna be really fun
- 11:46Speaker 3: I like, at one point screamed and ran away from
- 11:49Speaker 3: this guy. He was just walking around with the chainsaw.
- 11:52Speaker 3: And then I almost ran too, a guy on stilts,
- 11:54Speaker 3: and I screamed and ran away from him. My friends
- 11:56Speaker 3: had to come and find me.
- 11:57Speaker 1: There.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Where did you go?
- 12:00Speaker 1: Do I need to get you one of those backpacks
- 12:02Speaker 1: with a leash on it? Oh my gosh, I'm just starna.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Think I might need to buy.
- 12:07Speaker 2: The one that thing you have for peaches.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Right, I'm going to junk you back. We're like, no, man,
- 12:13Speaker 1: you can't leave me here.
- 12:14Speaker 3: That's true because you were also easily scared, So this
- 12:17Speaker 3: is really really funny.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I'm excited. I will say.
- 12:31Speaker 3: One thing I didn't know and didn't expect was that
- 12:36Speaker 3: I found this article about the beads like the Taylor
- 12:39Speaker 3: Swift Friendship beads, but now they were happening at Horror
- 12:42Speaker 3: Nights at Universal, which by the way, is not sponsored.
- 12:44Speaker 3: I hope that's clear, but they so we made a
- 12:48Speaker 3: bunch of bees. Well, no, I made like one.
- 12:51Speaker 2: My friends made a bunch of bees.
- 12:55Speaker 3: Honestly, like, I'm so grateful to them and I because
- 12:57Speaker 3: I got a lot of joy out of it. And
- 12:59Speaker 3: it's okay, like I tried to do it, and the
- 13:01Speaker 3: reason I only made one was because I wasn't good
- 13:03Speaker 3: at it.
- 13:04Speaker 1: It's talent, it really is.
- 13:07Speaker 3: I was not good at measuring the string length and
- 13:09Speaker 3: then you get to the end and then it's just like, okay,
- 13:11Speaker 3: this is ruined. But it was really cool because we
- 13:17Speaker 3: didn't know if people were going to be doing it.
- 13:18Speaker 2: They were doing it.
- 13:19Speaker 3: That people would have these huge carabineers just some beads
- 13:23Speaker 3: and they would say things like choose that I fag
- 13:26Speaker 3: or fedra firefly. We got to do some trades, like
- 13:29Speaker 3: the security.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Was doing it.
- 13:31Speaker 3: They were handing them out and it was a lot
- 13:33Speaker 3: of big dudes. Although every time we asked the big
- 13:36Speaker 3: dude he was like, I'm into it.
- 13:37Speaker 2: But it was really like my fiance, right, but he
- 13:42Speaker 2: was the one carrying the carabiner.
- 13:44Speaker 3: But it was cool to hear people like after my
- 13:47Speaker 3: friends would exchange beads. I never did because I loved
- 13:49Speaker 3: what I already had too much. They would be kind
- 13:52Speaker 3: of like gushing over the work that each other did.
- 13:54Speaker 2: It was really sweet.
- 13:56Speaker 5: I like it.
- 13:57Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it is a yeah, it's an interesting crowd
- 14:04Speaker 3: at something like this because it's universal at night and
- 14:10Speaker 3: there's so many people that are like dressed up where
- 14:13Speaker 3: I'm in like my T shirt and sneakers, but people
- 14:17Speaker 3: dressed up and it was interesting to see that. But also, yes,
- 14:23Speaker 3: the Last of Us Haunted House was amazing. It's like
- 14:25Speaker 3: a certain scene that happens in the game and then
- 14:29Speaker 3: they're the voice actor. The original voice actors are in it,
- 14:32Speaker 3: but they're kind of like, I don't want to say projections,
- 14:37Speaker 3: but they're they're kind of like you see them through
- 14:39Speaker 3: windows or something, and that's different than how it is
- 14:42Speaker 3: at Hollywood. They not projections, so that'll be exciting. But
- 14:47Speaker 3: one of my favorite effects that they did is you
- 14:50Speaker 3: walked into this room and there was like a really
- 14:54Speaker 3: cool spores effect, which was upsetting because I wasn't wearing
- 14:58Speaker 3: a mask or in Anything'm like, well, guess.
- 15:00Speaker 2: I'm infected now. Thanks.
- 15:04Speaker 1: That was really true.
- 15:05Speaker 2: I know you think I don't think about that when
- 15:07Speaker 2: not going on.
- 15:10Speaker 3: But also, the clickers are really cool and the bloaters
- 15:13Speaker 3: are really cool, I will say, and I bet this
- 15:15Speaker 3: is frustrating for people who work in it that a
- 15:18Speaker 3: lot of times they would jump out.
- 15:19Speaker 2: I was screaming and be like, I mean, look at
- 15:21Speaker 2: your makeup. Wow, this looks so good.
- 15:25Speaker 1: How did you do that?
- 15:27Speaker 4: WHOA?
- 15:27Speaker 2: Are you a professional?
- 15:29Speaker 4: Oh?
- 15:29Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 15:30Speaker 1: Yes?
- 15:31Speaker 3: And it was funny because we talked about feeling almost
- 15:33Speaker 3: a pressure to be like, I appreciate your work.
- 15:36Speaker 2: You've scared me. Thank you, which I'm not sure it's
- 15:40Speaker 2: better word.
- 15:43Speaker 1: I guess we could say it after the facts, right right,
- 15:45Speaker 1: and not during the thank you for scaring me?
- 15:51Speaker 2: Spot On nailed it, nailed it, put of you.
- 15:55Speaker 3: M h yeah. And then we did did we did
- 16:02Speaker 3: do Disney And like I said, the unfortunate thing is
- 16:08Speaker 3: Chris Pratt was in two of my new favorite rides,
- 16:10Speaker 3: the Velocit Coaster and Guardians in the Galaxy Cosmic Creewride.
- 16:15Speaker 3: But wow, it was such a good ride.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Least favorite Chris oh.
- 16:21Speaker 3: No, oh, yeah, yeah, but it is a lot of work.
- 16:26Speaker 3: And we talked about that in like the pressure of
- 16:28Speaker 3: planning these vacations and especially on women, and like the
- 16:31Speaker 3: pressure making the perfect thing and to get those fast
- 16:35Speaker 3: passes and do all that stuff.
- 16:37Speaker 2: How early you got to wake up and all the
- 16:38Speaker 2: things you have to do. It all worked out.
- 16:41Speaker 3: There were no arguments. There was some vomiting, I won't say,
- 16:45Speaker 3: but there was some moment. A lot of good food
- 16:49Speaker 3: was had. Not much sleep was had at all on
- 16:52Speaker 3: my part. But I'm excited to do it again with you, Samantha.
- 16:55Speaker 3: We're only doing the haunted houses and it is kind
- 16:59Speaker 3: of related for me. At least, it was near ish
- 17:03Speaker 3: figured out just pop over's just hey. Yeah, it was fun.
- 17:14Speaker 3: It was funny to see people's different reactions. There was
- 17:17Speaker 3: this one group we ran into of like teenagers, who
- 17:19Speaker 3: was like, this isn't scary at all, and we were
- 17:22Speaker 3: behind them and they were they were scared.
- 17:26Speaker 2: I've been there, I understand.
- 17:28Speaker 3: But.
- 17:31Speaker 1: I would have never I would have been like, yeah, no.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's fair. It's gonna be interesting. I'm very excited.
- 17:40Speaker 3: I think it'll be cool and we'll do a little
- 17:44Speaker 3: catch up and compare yes, yeah, that was my trip.
- 17:48Speaker 2: It was really fun. I'm very tired still.
- 17:51Speaker 1: And you've not stopped going since.
