My mom used to wait for me to fall asleep. And then when I would fall asleep, that's when she could see I was too, I was too fast. I was a wiry little bastard. I was too fast. She couldn't catch me during a daylight hour. So she'd wait for me to be like, here we go to sleep. He'll think he got away with it. Then 3 a. m. comes, the cover comes off of you and the hand just rails you. And then you got to go to school with a fucking welt on your ass.
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:that's terrorizing. Oh
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Yeah, right? Sleep with one eye open. Anyway, my mom's dead to me. Um, what else they got in Japan?

jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:All right, let's dive into this. Um, what's our, what's on the agenda this week? Um, Natalie, uh,
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:What's up, we
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:talk to me, would you, what's, what's hot in the Disney news world for you this week?
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:it's hot guys. It's hot. I don't know if you guys know. Do you guys know? What do you guys know? What have you heard? All right, Tron. How you guys been on Tron?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:We have, it's like half a ride, right? I thought it was, I thought it was gonna be better than it was. It was, um, yeah, it's not
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:half a ride?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:It's such a shitty short ride. I mean, it's a good ride. Don't get me wrong when they put that, when they gave me that little pat on my lower lumbar and I was like, we was fucking locked in this shit. Right. I was like, this is going to be amazing. And all you see is like the launch. It was a good ride. It was amazing. It was just short. It was just too short. It was, and we're coming from, when we ride coasters, we're riding multi launched coasters, like Intamin multi launched coasters. So it's like, when you slow down, you get relaunched. When we slowed down, I was like, oh, here we go. It's another launch. We got this again. No, it's over. I was so disappointed. Yeah. It was a little anti climatic for us.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Mean I
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Because, you know what the issue is? You, you, you struggle all day to get onto that ride. You gotta like play to get into the virtual queue and all that stuff. It's such a pain in the dick.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:I Mean, I can certainly understand the frustration what I do appreciate about it about that system Was the fact that at least you you were you give her you were given that window, but as of yesterday 899
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:99.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Um, they are going to be using the traditional standby queue.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Oh yeah?
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Yeah, so like I wonder how long those lines are going to be when that draws minimal,
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:ready? Less than an hour?
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:Less than an hour.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:You checked it, you checked it right
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:I checked it. I checked the news on it, um, because I was, I was concerned too. I was like, I don't know how this is going to work. It's either going to get super stacked up and really packed up. But what ended up happening is that. It's it went to like 120 and then dropped down to like 50 and then, um, other rides because people couldn't navigate other rides like seven dwarfs mine train that dropped to like 20 minutes. So all the wait times decreased and there's leveled off after about after about the first few hours it leveled off to less than an hour.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:but this is also like you're looking at one day,
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Mm hmm.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:right? So this is like, I wonder if that's going to be consistent. Right. What changes we're going to see, will it continue to be low? The weekends are definitely going to be peak time, right? Definitely. They kicked it off on a Monday and school's already in session. So it is reduced attendance, not to say that it's still not a lot of people, but it's just not, you know, the summer lines. So.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:I'm guessing that anytime you can, anytime you can introduce, um, a place for more people to go during the day, you're going to have a, um, you're gonna have a reduction in wait time. So, when they have, Ashley, I asked, what are you printing, Ashley? Please share it with the rest of us.
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:yeah, share with the class.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:What do you have there, Ashley? I muted myself. Can you see me? Because my camera. No, I can't see you. Oh, and you can't see that I was printing a map. Of what? Epcot.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:You printed a map for us?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Okay, let's back up. Let's, let's get, where were we?
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:bro. What do you mean?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:We're going to edit this part out, but let's get bad. Let's put this chain back on his tracks. Um, yeah, anytime. Anyway, so three, anytime you put people, you open up more opportunity for people to be in other places. Like you eliminate the virtual queue and create the standby. You're going to drive traffic away from other rides. I don't know that it'll stay. Less than an hour, but I don't see it getting over 90.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:I mean, the ride is like three seconds long, so I would hope that it does maintain the short line. Um, but it is exciting because everybody knows the struggle. Who has attempted to go on Tron, either waking up at 6. 55 AM to make sure you were. In the queue and or attempting it again at one o'clock. So we don't have to wait for that anymore. Just go in and stand there for hours like the good old days.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:How long do you think before they do it for Guardians? Because I think that would be a little bit more exciting for us. I think that was a better ride. Guardians was a better ride. Is a better ride.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:they, what, when did guardians open,
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:Well, I know Tron opened in April of last year. Let's
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:right?
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:see.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Let's look that up and I have, I have more news, but it's not time. It's not Tron related.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:What other news do you have?
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:What?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:What other news you got?
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:The, they brought back their water park season pass. Are you guys familiar with this?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:No, I didn't know they had a water park season
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Well, now you do. So, okay. So, um, Did you guys know that Disney doesn't hold both of their water parks open? Like, they switch them off. One's open, one's closed.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:That I did. I didn't know that. I
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:You know what? I'm gonna tell you something. I did not until I was reading this and I was like, well shit, that really explains why every time I went to this particular park, it was, I'm like, they can't be doing refurbishments again. Like I thought it was ridiculous. So yes, Typhoon Lagoon, their last date of being open will be November 3rd, and then Blizzard Beach will open November 4th. The pass that is 79, 79.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:That's cheap. Is it for both?
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:It's for both and you know why? Yeah, it's amazing because,
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:One day is like 60.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:How many, how many, how many days are, does the pass cover?
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:so, it's, I, I didn't count the days. However, what I can tell you, you can get it, it's gonna be good through May 2025. And there's only a block out period of April 12th through April 20th.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:So if I bought it today, it's good through May 2025
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:That is
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:with the
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:2025. And, and, a one day park ticket is 74.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Oh, so if you're doing that, you might as well get it all,
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:And then the, this Disney water seasonal pass is 79 and then they have the one day water park ticket with blockout dates. And that's 64, but
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:That's what I
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Spend the, spend the 79 bucks and you're good to go. They should give us a commission for that,
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:they, they really should, they really should. I, Oh. And fun fact, also found this while I was exploring this pass because I went down a rabbit hole. If you are staying at a Disney World Hotel in 2025, you will get a free visit to a water park on your check in day.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Oh, you know, I think I heard about that. People are very excited. That's a, that's a bonus for
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:Can I get, oh man, we like to go in January.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:I mean, that's not a bad, that's not a bad, there's not a bad month for that. I mean, like January is a good month to go for that.
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:Not for water parks.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Is it heated?
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:They're, they're not even open during that time. I think they open like maybe March or April.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:alright, alright, good. Do we, so do, let's go, let's back up a little bit. January, do you have the, the, the year in which Tron, or
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:Yes, it was
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:did Gog open?
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:let me see, Cosmic Rewind opened in May of 2022. Can you
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Alright.

january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:I've written it twice and I feel like I only remember the song from the movie.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Okay. Natalie, you got, uh, I, I like, um, who's that lady that owns part of the Miami Dolphins?
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:I can't, I don't,
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Yeah, Gloria Estefan.

jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Oh, that's, uh, that's an amazing song to ride to. Is it Turn the Beat Around?
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Um, That's a different song, but she also sings it.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Yeah, but is that the one that's, I don't know, is that the one that's on there? Anyway, I have like, I have all the soundtracks to, um, to, uh, Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 1, I love listening to those on, on, uh, on vinyl.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:I mean, they have great, it's a great soundtrack.

january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:Um, I don't know what Over Under is.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:I think the odds, I think he's saying odds in a fancy way.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Yeah. What do you think the odds are? 0%? Uh, I'm, I'm going to go ahead and say you are 100 percent correct. Alec, you fucking failed when one gave him one job, one job, he failed.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:not going to lie. He wrote me actually at 636 and he said, I don't know how to send a voice memo through email.
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:No! Are you serious?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:He could have just sent an email. He could have just sent an email. He missed it. He missed it. Alec.
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:feel like this isn't hard.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:I'm so disappointed. I mean, even if it was just an email that said, Hey, I don't know how to send a voice e memo through email. That's cool. That's awesome. He could have sent an email. I would have read it. I would have read it loud and clear on, on air.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:And he actually made last podcast, a drinking game. And every time we said his name, they took a shot.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Great story. I don't even know if that's true or not, but that's it. That's the kind of impact we hope to have on the world today. know. When we say your name, you should drink Alec. And that's what I'm saying. Like you, anytime you hear your name, you should take maybe even two shots. Alec Alec. Um, you know, whatever you gotta do, whatever you gotta do. Alec, um, magical guys. No, Alec. Yeah. Um, I 100 percent Alec agree. Um, all right. We're not trying to send anybody to the hospital. You know, we don't want those kinds of Alec bills. all right, we, we, we expect more from you, Alec, in the future. Um, so, or like anything, yeah, anything just minimal, just, you know, raise the bar to something, you know, Alec, you could have sent a smoke signal. You could have, uh, you could have written a letter the hard way. I mailed a letter today. It's a side note. I'll tell you offline. But, uh, I put a stamp on it and everything. I had to find the stamp. Um, Alec didn't even try to find the stamp. But, email's free, Alec. Um, alright, now that Alec has passed out, blacked out after hearing his name so many times. Um, Alec. Um, Actually, Queen of popcorn buckets. What do you got? That's an accidental. I don't own one. Um, so I don't know if you guys saw, but, uh, there's a new vampire stitch popcorn bucket.

january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:you ever cook with chopsticks?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:No, it would burn up.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:That's not, there's, that's not true. There's
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:types of chopsticks
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:right. They have different materials.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Like, like a kebab?
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:people cook with wooden spoons, so what's going on?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Not me. I used to get beat by wooden spoons. You didn't have, your family didn't have like a wooden spoon whacker?
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:We had the belt.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:We had the bell, and the chancleta,
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:okay. Yes.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:and the hand.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:And the hand. I had the hand print. My mom used to wait for me to fall asleep. And then when I would fall asleep, that's when she could see I was too, I was too fast. I was a wiry little bastard. I was too fast. She couldn't catch me during a daylight hour. So she'd wait for me to be like, here we go to sleep. He'll think he got away with it. Then 3 a. m. comes, the cover comes off of you and the hand just rails you. And then you got to go to school with a fucking welt on your ass.
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:that's terrorizing. Oh
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Yeah, right? Sleep with one eye open. Anyway, my mom's dead to me. Um, what else they got in Japan?
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Alright, well, they also have an eel tamaki sushi. A handheld sushi with grilled eel egg. Crumbles. Cucumber and pickled daikon radish served with eel sauce. Those are their two new sushis in Japan.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:I'm excited.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:then they also have a teriyaki chicken bun. It's a steamed bun filled with minced chicken, vegetables, and teriyaki sauce. That's not new.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:That's okay. It's okay. It's tabian.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:And then,
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:And then,
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:the next one is America. We already hit America. It's the hot dogs. We know where it's at. Honorable mention that we're not stopping. Um, I actually forgot the name of the spot, but it has the half lobster tail. I know you guys aren't seafood fans. We're definitely not stopping there, but we may or may not check it out. I don't know.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:play it by ear. I like it. Alright, those are our 9 stops all in. That's 20 stops on the day, on Saturday. Um,

nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:now I'm, I'm thinking about Mufasa. Let's have a moment of silence for Mufasa. A. K. A. James Earl Jones. Dang, you know what? That was sad news. Do you have happy news for me now?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Uh, yeah, we do actually.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Okay, I need to hear some happy news because, you're, pshhh, I don't
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:actually will take us outside the berm. To another wait for it popcorn conveyance Yet another one it was purely coincidental guys guys universal Orlando and possibly Other universals. I don't know. Honestly, they released a new popcorn bucket and it is also our favorite pumpkin little boo and he lights
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:a bucket?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:They did. It's a popcorn bucket again. I don't even really like popcorn all that much. I really like it when he makes it. She doesn't, she likes it. She likes it because she can just eat what I, what I've made. It's like, if you go to the store and you're like, I'm going to get some French fries. Do you want anything? And then January is like, nah, I'm good. But then you bring those French fries home. And then January is like, let me get some of those.
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:Mm hmm. Yeah, and then I eat like three quarters of it.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Yep. This is a, I'll tell you what though. This is a bargain of a popcorn bucket, a bargain, a bargain of a popcorn bucket. It's a 34 for this popcorn bucket. And, uh, it does three things. Number one, it holds popcorn in the shape of Lil Boo. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Number two, it lights up. So if you're ever on a dark and treacherous path, it can, it can light the way. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. And then, if you are, you know what, I think I want to have a romantic evening, and just watch a little something on the side of the road, it projects out the, out of its asshole. Uh, you know, like, have you ever had, like, uh, have you ever had a pumpkin? You know how you flip it over, it's got, like, the cat's ass? Mm hmm. On the on the bottom from that hole on the bottom of the pumpkin is it shits out.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:ass?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Yeah has a cat's ass
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Why isn't, why isn't it a dog's ass? I
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Because that's a dog's ass doesn't look like that cat's ass looks like a pumpkin hole Um,
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:I guess you're right.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:yeah, how many cats how many dogs are you an expert in dog ass?
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Um, definitely not an expert in either ass, um, but I, I trust your expertise.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Well, well put it has a projection that comes out of the bottom. Yeah, it does project and I didn't realize that when I put it in there, I did think that it lit up like on the inside, which was very exciting because I don't know of another popcorn bucket that does that. Um, so my fascination with little boot continues. It is extremely possible that that popcorn bucket will come into our household to join the rest of my little boo collection, which is now reaching an unhealthy level. Um, so yeah, that's, that's two popcorn buckets in the news tonight. Um, Hoping that that is the end of my popcorn bucket fascination because those bitches are expensive.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:But, but this is, do you guys get like, you guys get your, uh, pass holder discount? Is that
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:We do we probably do on
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Yeah that's that's cool cause you know.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Yeah,
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:don't always get that over here.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Right Between Disney and Universal I find very interesting.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:I would just like appreciate some pass holder appreciation. That's it.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:You just want like a night just one
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:I just I
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:We're
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:know,
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:Passholder night would
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:if we could have a night, that would be phenomenal. Um,
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Universal
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:like, you know, it's interesting to me. I appreciate the hotel and the day at the water park. Like that's cute. That's a really nice, that's a really nice gesture for them to be staying. One. Time at a hotel and they get that pass as opposed to people who continuously renew their passes annually, and they just continue, you know, again, to increase their prices and decrease their benefits, but it's fine
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:That's what I'm, is it though?
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:is it? I don't know.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Is it though?
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:I know.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:find out more soon. There's, there's gonna, there's, there might be a market adjustment on the passes in the near future. Uh, I know they were
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:You've been talking to Josh about it.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Uh, no, actually, uh, Josh and, uh, the rest of the stakeholders with the enterprise have been discussing it to, you know, did they, did they raise prices too quickly? Did they do too much too soon? Um, so oftentimes they're not going to lower, but it happens sometimes there's market corrections. They could have gone too high. They'll find out. Yeah. They took away some of the freemiums. And, uh, I started charging for him, which I understand, but, you know, it's what it is. Um, keeping it outside the berm, Ashley's taking me to the worst night of my annual life here. Um, I wish you guys could see how happy I am right now. I, I hate this part of my year. Every year we celebrate, uh, uh, a shared birthday with, uh, with a group of friends. And it's called it's my party and I'll die if I want to. And, uh,
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:love the theme.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:I hate it. We go to HHN, right? And we do all the houses express pass style one night. So it's a long night, usually rains on us. It is what it is. Um, and this year, uh, there are, there are 10 houses, right? So, but for the most part, they're all getting normal reviews. Some are kind of quirky. There are some like reach out and touch me buttons there that I'll probably touch this year because I'm a sucker. Um, and, uh, but one house in particular, um, Is the insidious, the further house, uh, P it's changing people. People are going in all tough as nails and coming out like crumpled, um, disheveled pieces of shit is what this is
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:Insidious the one with the children?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:I don't know, honestly. So we don't watch horror movies. Like I do not. I don't like being scared. I don't like being scared. I don't handle suspense very well. My heart rate will go up immediately, but there is just something about Jonathan's That brings me so much laughter. Yeah, I mean, when you, when you go to look at the details of this house, it was just, there are, there's a warning is maybe in too intense. Um, yeah, this is like, it's like a three paragraph warning about it, but it's, this house is, I might have to just, I'm pregame this house. I have a plan. I'm going to watch the trailer for the house. I'm going to get ready for it. I'm going to know what's coming my way, which doesn't seem to work, has never worked in the past. Right. But I'm still, I'm a glutton for punishment. So I'm going to try to prepare myself for it. The only trick. That I found that I can utilize to, to ensure my, um, masculinity as I navigate the corridors of this hellish evening. Yeah. Uh, is to ride. In the premier seat of Veloci Coaster at, uh, at Islands, so we're going to go ride front row, um, Veloci Coaster, Islands of Adventure before we go there and hopefully that will numb me for the rest of the night. I'll be so frightened by that. It's worked before, in that the roller coaster has.
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:Maybe it centers you, grounds you.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:I think it just terrifies him enough for the rest of the day, like, yeah, it's an intense roller coaster. It's the most intense roller coaster I've ever been on. Um, so yeah, there, there does seem to be, and I've been avoiding the spoilers full transparency. I have no idea what's coming for us. I know, but this one people are like, they're all over the internet. Some chatter, the clickety clack worldly, worldly pipe. They're all talking about how horrid this house is. I'm scared already. I haven't even been there. I mean, like, I don't like I don't like clowns. This dude looks like a fucking demon clown. Oh, God, I
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:sure, yeah, this movie was terrifying.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Yeah. Thank you. Thank you for that. Terrified. She said terrifying. She wasn't even like it was a scary. I mean, so Blumhouse is well known to be absolutely terrifying for sure. Like it is renowned. So I don't I don't doubt the authenticity of it. I think also to where You know, finally, so far out from the covid pandemic, things were like, really kind of dulled down for a while. Um, and I don't, I think the houses were not as scary as they were in say, like, 2019. Yeah, so it seems to be amped up. This year. I've heard really good things about all of the houses, but Insidious is supposed to be warning worthy. Next level garbage. Hot garbage. Um, I'll try to track my heart rate on something so you can see it, because this is gonna be,
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:faced demon will lure you into his lair.

One night of fear. One night of fear will set you up for the whole year. That's a bumper sticker.
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:That is a bumper sticker.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:You know what else moves fast like a car? Rapid fire questions. Now that I've awed the entire
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:talked about rides today,
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Yeah.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:the lines changing, water parks, water ride or water park?

nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:You don't want the whole park?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:I don't want the whole park. Just want one
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:So you just want to, you just want to take the ride and just be wet all day?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:No, I'm going to change.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:You're gonna change, you're gonna have
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:a change. I have a contingency plan for the moment where we're doing this. We're going in. I'm wearing throwaway clothes. I'm going to put them on and pack it in, pack it out, throw it away. What?
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:I just totally had like The animated like vision of you just like ripping off your clothes, but your other clothes are already under you
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Like Superman. Yeah. I am a superhero. He also tends to wear like dry fit stuff, so it'll just, if it gets wet, like with the kids, you know, Oh yeah, the kids, cool. Not our kids, we're not even talking about kids, screw kids. Not literally, figuratively, not mentally either, just, you know, you know what, just like, screw them over. You're something else. What about you January, are you uh, going to the park for the whole day, or are you just uh, doing a ride?
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:Well, I definitely enjoy a water park, especially how hot it is. It's nice to cool off, get hot, cool off. Personally, I don't like a water ride. I'm never prepared, like I don't wear sandals to the theme park. It's
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:do you wear? You never look
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:enough support for me. So I like to wear, um, like a tennis shoe.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Teddy
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:Uh, you. gotta wear socks. I don't like wet socks. I'm gonna be really upset if I have to walk around with wet feet on a hot day.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Hmm.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Well, couldn't you just prepare for that one ride? Like, couldn't you just
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:want me to walk around with an extra pair of socks?
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:I want you to bring a pair of dollar store flip flops and you put it, you put your shoes in a locker uh, with your stuff and keep it all, or bag it really good and then you just put your flip flops on for the ride and you get off the ride, throw them, throw them flip flops away.
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:Seems like a lot of work.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Yeah, you gotta prepare. A lot of planning.
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:Yeah, a lot of planning.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:We're adults. Sometimes you gotta plan.
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:Ashley, water park, water ride. Mm
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:I think in my youth I would have been a waterpark person. I've done that before, like spend the whole day going down the crazy ass slides. As it changed as an elder. My ass being burnt by the sun. Yeah, I don't, I don't think I want to be wet. Even if it's hot, I don't want to be wet. I don't want to sweat and be wet. I don't want to be wet and be wet, like. I'll do a water ride if it's cool enough, but it's probably a one and done for me. You want to do a splash and dash? Splash and dash. That's me. Okay. You know who hasn't answered? Natalie.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Hmm.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Natalie, you've had the most time to think about this. The most time. You even thought up the question.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:I don't know why you guys always ask me these questions. Um,
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:This is why we care about you. You know, we're not like Alec. We don't leave you hanging.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:dang, I do, I do enjoy a water park, but I love a good water ride. Um, I'm gonna have to go water ride. It has to be, you have to be like, It has to be perfect location. Like you don't want to get drenched. I just want to get wet to where I'm like cool down, but I don't want wet butt
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:You want to be
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:want wet feet.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:I'm hearing? You want to be moist?
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:butt or wet feet.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Those are my two. And if I, if any of those two things happen, then we're leaving. That's it. I don't care about anything else.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:So torso up, moist. That's what you're looking for. That's your ideal ride.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Um, no, not torso up. Cause my, if my legs get wet, that's okay.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Oh, so torso down or just front? Seat and feet are no. Okay, seat, seat
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:no. C in feet, right? Yes. That's uh, mm I I don't know why we had to use the word moist, but yes, you're right. That is the one
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:of moisture. A little bit, just a trickle of, a trickle of dampening. It's all good. It's all good. It's cool. Okay. All right. So it's so it's three to one. Um, uh, January is going to have to go rough it at the park all day.
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:You know what? I'm okay with
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:on the front half.
january-raine_1_09-10-2024_183344:can get drinks, I can have food, I can go on rides.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:We can do that and only be mildly damp on
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:hard. And then also, you know what? It's the time of the year. I don't know. My gosh.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:I think water park for the creatures who will not be named on this podcast would be fun. Yeah, I don't want to I don't want to know because they got to stay on a high alert like the whole time. Yeah, but I think it would be fun with them. I mean, you got to say it in high alert no matter what. Um, all right. Cool beans. Um, what's the plan for, uh, for next week? Oh, we got, uh, we have a couple of things coming up next week or this weekend. Uh, we got the, we got HHN full review. We've got, uh, food and wine fest. We're deploying Natalie's must eat map. Uh, so we should have some, some real solid feedback on that. We got to, did I say the Tiffany concert? We'll have that in the, in the bucket and hopefully Alec will have a Discovered how to send an email
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:Wow. First off, Don and Bears Act look like that he knows how to send an email. He was, uh, unfamiliar on how to send a voice memo through the email. Don't disrespect his name.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:He could have, which name Alec? In all fairness, he's only had like one business day. When did this release? Friday. He's had all weekend to figure out how to send a voice memo. Well, that's not a business day.
nat_1_09-10-2024_183344:No. And actually He just listened to it today, to be honest.
jp_1_09-10-2024_183347:Alec, Alec. What are we going to do with Alec? Um, you know, keep practicing Alex, send us your, send us your email. Best wishes.

We, uh, we just, the dank pod, the, if you, depending on how you want to say it, it could be the, the, the one and only, um, is this a good place to leave it? Shall I hit the unrecord button?
