Thankfully avoiding a third full humiliating month of neglecting to cover Al Roker's Butternut Squash Tarte. I'm Scott Gardner, Mike Carlson grimacing at the thought that a single day would have passed longer where we don't discuss this tart. I was just thinking about how I deserve to be punished more.

I mean, we, I guess, all three of us, but I just like I want to take it out of myself too. You think you deserve to be punished more? Yeah. More. Huh, more. For what? For nothing to come to mind. For not getting to it. Oh, just for, oh, I thought like maybe for things in general. For all of that. I have certain rules or things that you use. I have certainly just to have just a general guilt, but no, I'm sorry. I mean, specifically for this, for the neglect. This is, well, I don't know.

I don't wish the same thing. I hope there's no more punishments coming your way anytime soon. Okay. Don't do that to yourself. Jason Sheridan, hi. Hi, yeah. I mean, I was ready to discuss it the last time we were down. But then I didn't end up eating anything there. So it's probably for the best we didn't. But the menu has changed. Yes. So it changes all the time. Avocado toast is gone. It's gone. It's long gone. Oh, no, it's left behind in 2019. You know, is that right?

I thought they had it still. Is there not over nine votes? I feel like I didn't see it. I definitely didn't see Al's avocado toast. No, well, that shifted. Yeah. As I was saying, two Al's butter and a squash tart, which is the new thing from a couple months ago. And again, if that had gone any longer, I think the listeners would have started to know it and started to complain and revolt. But we're here with Junet now.

We're talking about the Today Cafe, which is the Today Show themed restaurant in Universal Orlando. And look, we're back from Orlando and we're filled with a December here. It's a Santa's bag full of goodies of the grides and attractions and experiences. Really, keyword experience. Yeah. Now we can talk about that we haven't been able to for a long time. And folks, it's here, the one you've been begging for, the one you've been asking for, we're finally doing the Today's Cafe. I'm sorry.

Okay, you overnight votes are still there. Osset Ebo appears to be missing an action. Oh, gee. Simply replaced with tropical chia pudding. Okay. Wow. Well, this gives you, I think, a flavor of the kind of things they have. You know, these, you know, earthy, balanced, good for you recipes that certainly are real and well crafted by the artisans who work in this theme park. Doesn't even feel like overnight. Oh, it's especially feels like the fakes.

Like what you picture it is versus the container that it has taken out of and put in the microwave. Yeah. It's, they, it's a, everything sounds classy. Everything sounds curated and handcrafted. Yeah. But I, there's very few quick service places in anything park where things are truly handcrafted like handcrafted in front of you. I suppose pastries and certain things are made in big black gold.

But I saw the chef without rooker touring the facility at open A. Well, you know, again, all restaurants have that like that stretch of time where people are watching and paying attention so they have to be decent impressions of restaurants and then time passes and things kind of fade, which is a, I imagine a theme that we will be exploring in the, the city walk or land of Zaga, multi-versa madness. That was spoiler. That was spoiler.

It's really, you might, like when were these restaurants good? You might want to chart that opening and then look like a month out and how long ago in the past was that we will see. You know, speaking of that, it is okay. So we're going to be covering that NBC sports grill, which is at city walk or land there. And then you've got, of course, the, so there's an NBC property in restaurant, you know, the spirit of the sports casters and sports enterprise.

And then you got Jimmy Fallon up the road and obviously the recreation of 30 rock. That's the biggest scale nod to the corporate overlords. And then you've got this. So in the, in kind of a same little loop, if you want to like really keep that NBC spirit alive in the, in the Vegas way, all three probably places where you can get things that say NBC or you can get like a, I bet all these places have something just called like NBC pie. Does that reflect?

Does it like, is it based on doing works there? Come up with the pie recipe? I don't know. But if you know, if you're loyal to a brand, then the universals got the way for you to celebrate that. Yeah. No, it's, it's really, I mean, I mean, this is for the end. But like, what, like, what else, what else would you want from NBC, like the NBC property? What other, if you're a fan of the network, I mean, is there famous NBC stuff? Do you want like brand and Tartikoff walk around characters?

Like what? This is, I guess, probably the optimum way right now that an average tourist would experience the IP of NBC. I suppose. Yeah. Well, that's obviously what I want. I want to, you know, like a cigarette, you know, machine or whatever. But then you actually get to it and there's kind of like a no, no, no, and it's brand and Tartikoff with the cast to say by the bell, all saying think twice before you do that. Yeah. The greatest thing they ever aired.

Yeah. I think enough has been enough, I think it's time to bring cigarette machines. Even if they're fake out cigarette machines, yes, they're fake out. Even if you pull on it and it tells you, it's just like your favorite NBC, NBC property telling you right. Right. Yes. No, no, the cast of manifest is here to tell you about the dangerous smoke game. What's that? I'm saying that has shifted to net. That's one of those shows that's secretly a massive hit for Netflix. Sure, sure.

Yeah. Oh my God. What's happening here? What? What? He's absolutely. He found you. I'm not even able to tell you. How did he find us in a different location? It's the minute. There's no way for him to know. The minutes are found us. Hey, oh, wow. Oh, yeah. I think you're so much better. Yes. Hello. I guess I should help you with the mic. Oh, you know what? I didn't plan for. I didn't know you were coming minutes.

Oh, my God. The minute Tarru recently visited us to Dynasty typewriter is back as really interrupted the today cafe. But ultimately I put this on Mike, I would say. I like you like you. You have to know you're the reason this is coming. I assume so. But let's hear him out here later. Get your help. You know what I'll do? Maybe a minute. Why don't you take my microphone and I'll go grab that one on a stand that's set up in the corner. Here, here, here. Come switch to mine. All right.

Well, yeah, I don't want you to podcast uncomfortably. Oh, it's going to get. It's going to get uncomfortably. Oh, my God. What if I don't? I have the level level. Okay. Okay. Okay. Minotaur levels. I have to audio engineer my own yelling at my scolding. Oh, God, can we do it while we're going live? I might have to restart and restart. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. You're a bad son, but you're a fine engineer. You'll figure this out. Oh, this is about. I know.

Sometimes I actually had food we liked at the Teig Afe. And we have to talk about it. We have to address this. This is important. We have to address her son's son's death. But you have to blame Mike for what's happening. Well, I'm glad I'm here. Well, I do have to apologize. Minotaur, do you want a bottle of water? Well, you're gettinger. You're gettinger. I'm going to take a bottle of water. Yes, I know. I'm going to take a bottle.

Well, while you're getting settled that is really plan I would love a bottle of water. Thank you It's time to hit stop Minotaur's really settled in here. Yeah, you got a water. You're all good to go out of Greta That's aggressive posture. I just say don't pop the pee you know Minotaur is a very thirsty job generally your your yeah, you got a bellow. It's a bellowing job I can imagine yeah is this is busy he had bright bellowing distance from the microphone

It's okay. I can over here. How does that sound? Oh, it sounds fine now. Yeah, bellow right in your face Oh, that's a little too hot. I guess all of a lower in case you want to have that room. I mean That's that's probably what you should be doing because I think I have a feeling why you're here Yeah, why you've showed up by by surprise This is have anything to do with what happened the last time we saw you at our live show Yeah, I thought I can't be a show had a great time

A lonely time that dies you type are a beautiful venue by the way. Well, I agree. Yeah, yeah, yeah Really comfortable good snacks. Did you get some of those? Some popcorn back say yeah some sour gummy worms. That's a really good snack some like peanut butter M&M's great Unorthodox topic. It's kind of you know kind of like nice fun treats like they would have it the today cafe

I know better. I guess we have to put that aside for the time being Okay, so I think I know what's happening And to catch the listener up on what's been going on a little while back Mike Would would not face the Minotaur in an escape room experience you had to tap out of this thing Yes, and that led to the Minotaur appearing in one of our recent live shows where he put you to the test He made you face One of your biggest fears which is the fear of missing out on on great deals

Yes, or something that's a limited time release that might go away. I hope you open to interpretation. I let you Yes, pick what would work for you yet and yet and yet

Wait once a specific was offered. Yeah, once you were given and look this all played out on stage as it did and you Would champion that night because yeah, you were told to delete one of the many many many home screen notifications that are on your phone That's true at all times and you picked one you had one in the chamber ready to go you Volunteer and sacrifice something called deal vibes. Yes, that deal vibes. Yes

A name that's kept you up at night ever since Minotaur. Yes, well, I want to read a little I want to read an X That came across my bow. I even have X. I quit X. Okay, you had to go back on it because of all this crap People were people were debing me on Instagram and I had to get on X because I was gonna go full threads I'll have to sign something going on X and I read this from Michael Carlson at fat Carl spins felt pH

Replying the pockets right deal vibe you guys plug your show and all this stuff. Yeah, and he's he writes I refollowed to spit in the face of the Minotaur. I will not be bullied. I will defeat it in person Oh, oh, oh, and then you refollowed deal vibes. Yeah, and now we're in person That's true. Yeah, he's right here. Mm-hmm. What up dog? Okay, well look I when I said I would defeat it in person I assumed it would lead to another episode where I went to the Minotaur

Two escape room, which I learned is real. Oh, he's been he's living what he's thinking why escape room I mean the escape room anymore now you're in it first of all let me just say this I realized Weeks days. I don't even really remember. I realized what I was doing I Deal vibes is so important to my phone ecosystem. Yes, that I said there's no fucking way I can unfollow this

I'm following this again. Well, this is my quick now wait a little bit more Yeah, it's really quick the you unfollowed you you you volunteered unfollowing use we always said was home screen notifications Yes, you took that off and then as an extra brave boy bonus. Yeah, you said and I will unfollow it as well Right you got a big round of applause. Yeah, Minotaur called you the bravest boy. He's ever known. Yes, yes It was a victorious moment

I get you paternal approval on the intimate moment of paternal approval. That's right. Yes I appreciate it in that biggest desire. I appreciated that but then I was I was thinking about it And I was like who is this minotaur? I don't even I'm just a man on a stage trying to do a little show make the people left

Make the nice people left. I just do because I had an anxiety attack I didn't face the minotaur once and I said you know what who is he to tell me who and what to do and I said I can't and then she I Refollowed deal vibes and yeah, I almost immediately was clued in that the new Expansion pack for Disney's Lorcanna was now available for like five minutes I got a booster box because I refollowed and it justified all of my decisions now I have got our conno box

Lorcanna floodborne booster box pretty amazing 24 packs. This is hard to get folks You're to your to your tip in him a little bit. Oh, I have a question. We can how soon did you refob because there were two weeks between us Recording the live show. Yeah, and then we put out the episode and I want to shout out listener Ethan Dickinson thanks for getting on the crime tip line. Well, he's now man No, listening to the show

Ethan, you're out. I just you're on the patreon. You're gonna be blocked If you're on X you'll be blocked from our accounts personal account minotaur your call yeah, Ethan Yeah, there were two and then you get one free trip to the lab Earth if you ever want to come to my lab Earth you can come and check out the lab Earth It's really cool. Well, it's got a lot of like justice based puzzles. Okay, you're gonna be great Are you gonna like eat them or kill them at the end? Yes

If I do catch you I will eat you or kill you. That's kind of my job there I guard the treasure, but there is treasure there's Ethan so you can you can be treasure if you're a brave boy Yeah, he look Ethan I mean you're much more loyal to the minutes are the me so I think this is where he picked aside Yeah, he picked aside I get it under something that I want to know from what Ethan found out there were exactly two weeks to the day

Between yeah, and when he discovered that you were still following deal vibes Yeah, how soon after the show did you spit in the minotaur's face? I actually don't I think it was like

Four or five days. I think I made it four or five days and then I think it pops up a little better I wondered if you any even like like the night of we're in the venue and decided I have to look at it Well, you know what happened to me backstage eating peanut butter in my name so you would do that secretly on your phone during the show You know what happened is I think that X then started showing me

Deal vibes as well because what happens is it doesn't always go to just who you're following often times It clicks over to the for you tab which then shows you an algorithm of what you actually might want to see So I think I was getting deal vibes and I was just I was I got the FOMO I got the deal vibes FOMO But that's what you that's gentle over go. I understand that I went back on my word, but really

It's hard to tell me what to do well, okay. Well first of all Who are you to sit there and back out of the deal that you made and you hugged on I mean if Jason would have made a Deal like that he wouldn't have renec done it at all he would have stayed in I

Would have never done something like I would have never Remain to know it kept me up at night if I refollow what just like the person who mentioned Me and some other of our accounts in Post an X and they were like hey, you should deal with five pounds are

So yeah, that's right. We were just we were just tagged on a deal vibes You know which could be a good way to sus out like how much of a real problem we're dealing with because might you you're right, okay Yeah, you get the chocolate by the way the syrup

No, no, I don't think I the room for five to ten pounds of her she's so it is it's over seven pounds Over seven she's chocolate syrup for $10 to low and 10 was too high Yeah, are you a Hershey's on the on the Sunday guy do you like it even at home for a home ice cream do you do it Sunday?

I usually have something for a home ice cream I love to do a Hershey's Stir it yeah, yeah, I don't mind if it melts a little like it's getting ice cream soup Quickly, you know, you don't just like feast on the on the bones of those who betrayed you you like it just a good like a Like any no, but you should try bone ice cream if you've never made bone

I you can homemade it it just takes milk and ice and everything into the bones of your enemies. Oh sure So it's like a bone broth honestly like it's almost like when you're making bone broth at home Which you know is very popular these days and it takes a while But you instead of using it to make some sort of a broth. It's like salt straw would have a bone broth ice cream I think you could probably get one seasonally. I'm betting Jason would you think bet five real?

I bet it would be good. I bet it'd be good. Yeah, yeah, but it was Jason's honorable man is what I'm saying

So just watch on YouTube dope. Welcome to the future. It's here Well, okay, let me I hate to bring out contract law into this conversation, but I mean just read a little mighty minutes are I deal with riddles all the time as well occasionally in a lab or they'll do be a riddle so I'll listen to this to this Contract riddle he is sovereign citizen Carlson going off again And listen this is a corporate finance institute dot com a website we all know very well And it says in contract law

Deres is used as a form of defense to a crime where the defendant uses threats to force the plaintiff to commit a crime that is against their wishes A party who is forced into an act or contract under deres can rescind the contract Rendering it null and void

Well, can I counter with that all right? Where you under deres just because I'm a minitar No, this is how I talk and this is how I look and all of a sudden if I'm asking to do something it's deres Well, I would say that the way you were intimidating me on stage by charging the stage

We didn't we have to approve everyone I charge everywhere I go I charge to the movies I charge to the grocery store I charge that's how I do you so you can't you can not you're incapable of not you're incapable of not charging I'm not how I come in here you charge

In charge, but it's very intimidating. We heard a little charge. What was that? Yeah, so we took a little right because some nice people were walking And the alleyway There was an energy there was an energy going on here that I couldn't put my finger on it was weird and then they put the dogs Walked by and then I was like wait a minute That's and then I said no, no start recording again. Yeah, there was a weird

It's a weird energy. Not that I thought it was a Minitar approaching this is really something was off It's got say something was up recording again. It's like it's never yelled at me. It's on the your wrist Yeah, that's the same. I was not doing it. I was just Not sure I'm like hiding behind a fence outside of the recording studio and then people just stop there under Dress by me being there You just like that a minute are with horns and large sound and I charged up to the fence

I believe you you could not charge. I believe you with ability not to charge. Oh, I believe You could be slower in your mind Did not charge there's also I think that you know There's like a range of of intonation and how something sounds in your head versus how it comes off in reality How you presented yourself does during the show would end up being Dress might have been very calm right on your scale similar to how There's a story. I'm trying to remember one of us like that camera was

Use this phrase in a text message counterpoint you were wrong. Yeah Yeah, also like a very like kind of an angry especially angry sharp thread But once uh Pester to say it out loud. It was said more like better point you were wrong I thought it was very clear communication that sounds like some of that clear text counterpoint

Combo you could was her comma there. I was a call is a colon. Yeah, looks like the title of the show Yeah, so that's like that's like something you would text and you would you'd be shocked if anybody took that as like That seemed like a like a angry because I'm just being a bit of tarp is two I want you to be dealing I mean No one's blaming you for just doing minute tart. It's just And and feats and riddles just how ideal it's I'm

Intimidation in loud voices and getting in a person's face. I have been whispering the whole time in my mind Well, there you go come off now whispering cuz that's I'm trying not to wake up the neighborhood I hear your whisper is a little loud. It's a little loud. Yeah, but I'm not hey over here I'm not mad at you about that the other chairs might be. I don't know they might say they're under duress right now

I'm a bit yes. I do feel like I'm a bit under duress right now. All right. Well, let me bring it down. I'm gonna give you a paternal okay feeling intimate paternal Disappointment okay Michael Carlson You are a bad little boy You followed deal vibes when you said you would keep off of it and for that I am sad you are not brave Look a knife it cuts like a knife, but it's like unfortunately. It's a minute. I'm not optimistic. It's prime, but

You did stand up to a minute. I One of the scariest beasts there is and you told him that you would defeat him and And you would spit in his face and as a Minotaur I Respect that. Wow you charged on to Twitter and you charged right up to me and for that you are a brave little boy Oh my god whoa all the way back around wow Geez, yeah, it's like you're sure you can even to me which I would count as victory, honestly

Yeah, yeah, I think maybe we landed at like a spot of peace. Okay. I guess the question though is How do we feel about Mike continuing to follow deal vibes at this point is this his own business You've got kind of a respect for him given what he's oh he's behaved lately

Well, I told him he'd face his greatest fear which would be to miss out and he didn't face that fear I feel like that's a fear for him to conquer in the future however He did conquer the fear of a Minotaur which is pretty good You know, I think that I don't know arcana I can't if you got iconic cards for real those are impossible to find and they're the new expansion They're flood the it's called floodborne. That's the new title for the Lord Connor without do you do you collect our Connor?

Do you actually play it I haven't played it yet, but I do collect it It's a game to play right that's right. Yeah, and you haven't played it never Hmm, this is convexing you now. Now you don't know what to do, but it's a collectible card game Yes, I know but it's like we you'll collect magic cards and not play magic some people do that's foolish Yeah, that's below me some people do

That's true. I'm not to easy doesn't take out of the box That's what I'm gonna play with yeah, I can I get that like there was more in the box, but It's a card game. It's not it's not baseball cards. I would like to play it. Hopefully I will play it soon Would you would you ever play your old man? Wait, are you calling me? Are you calling yourself my old man? I mean, I'm kind of everybody's old man. I'm an I'm an ageless creature of

Okay, all of our linear joltimately goes back to this minute. Are you been around? So I'll the bowl. I'm sure I'm guessing I'll have to cure it like I'll have to create a deck because you don't have any more Connacar I have to create a deck for you I've been wanting to play while yeah, you're not following deal labs Oh, now that he's on X something the air now

Well, and you're gonna want to you know Because I started thinking about what am I missing out on not following deal vibes myself and you know This is the kind of thing that's on the table for Mike and it could be for you as well Minotaur you could get deals on lightning McQueen Crocs. Yeah, you can get a deal on a Uh, uh, grimace from McDonald's Crocs. Oh, you could get a deal on Will Ferrell elf cross. Yeah, a lot of Crocs and what's deal like on those grimace Crocs?

Cuz I've been thinking those are new. I don't think there's a deal I don't think there's a deal on those. I think those are just sort of like telling you this unlimited It's just letting you know that they exist. I think so. Yeah, I can't actually can't tell you that one elf crocs And again, this is in the past listeners is you're hearing it Uh, 15 or if I sorry 5999 with code save 15 Um, but you get you I think you the links to I'm not gonna say the link out there

You kind of got to follow deal vibes to get it. We're getting closer. I mean, I'm not specifically against deal vibes necessarily No, no, just that you said you would quit and you did that was like that was the real

That's true. We should say also I think we're kind of getting to be a little bit friendly with deal vibes as a result of all this because they got tags and all everything that was going on And they you know, they were tagged in Mike issuing a grave threat about spitting in the face of the minotaur

Yeah, so they're seeing all this whoever deal vibes is and they posted This may be my first even good publicity is bad publicity moment And then a picture of Thor that says I have no idea what's going on And I tried to explain well We're apoccas with theme parks in a minotaur made one of our host Mike delete one of his many home screen notifications And he chose you deal vibes would immediately we followed you to get more deals on meatballs and now the minotaur is mad

But I guess that's not up to date anymore. It seems like now what's happened is so deal vibes if you're listening Yeah, you are on the fair trade. Yeah, we fight if we all follow deal vibes together

He should be paying for our patreon right? Yeah, we're helping spread his deals I have gotten texts and messages from people in the wake of all this saying I started following deal vibes and I got some good stuff Do you know do you know what anybody called out as something that they got from deal vibes?

Oh, I should I should look some but there was some like really maybe a cheap couch on target that somebody tweeted at me They got like a brutally cheap maybe like was a glitch like it would last for like one move But it's you know you sit on it No, I think it was just like somebody made an error writing the price into the target website and they bought it for like 50 bucks Is something I think I mean deal for a hundred feet of perforated bubble wrap for like 13 dollars

Which is about 49 dollar value seems good you never have bubble wrap when you need it And you just moved you know Yeah, you can use it. Oh, okay, and then it's the lingers around and then I throw it out and then the next day or two I need it. That'd be fun to charge on imagine charging on a hundred feet of bubble wrap my Who's just hitting it just so satisfying

Oh, you feel like it on fingers. I can only imagine on who's oh you could Oh, he and his friend of the show Ian Rikabani text to me saturday November 4th not for nothing I got a fucking steal on the new Mario via QVC due to deal vibes by the way Mario wonder how much was it for I think it was $30

30 ball that pretty pretty good sure here. Let me also let me also just add a little more Please context for what's going on here in my mind I said let me follow deal vibes and follow when the show comes out and then follow it a week later and forgot Wow You knew you were gonna get caught

Well, I thought I didn't know I was gonna get caught but I thought to myself well I could follow deal vibes surely for a few days then on follow when the show comes out if anyone wants to search and snitch on me and look things get in the way you forget sometimes say somewhere in the run of

Being a parent to a very young child doing three separate gates worth of Theme park podcast content and again having 200 home screen notifications flooding into your phone at all times You forgot to do an unfollow I forgot to unfollow again As well to avoid this nasty business from even happening look where look where we are Oh, I was I feel like I could put this to bed. I think we just have one game of our counter to the death

All right fine, but you did hear that last part right though to the death. Yeah I mean I generally deal things to the death My labyrinth. I'll either kill you or you get the treasure and the treasure does if you do get the treasure You end up dying I perish will you make bone broth ice cream out of me if I lose? Oh, absolutely you never give me great bones. Oh, do you think so you got tall bones? You think tall bones you can make a meteorite flavor. Oh, you think tall this means flavor

It's like when you make a newt like a noodles. You know you really kind of like spread the you know Like you got to like really need the bread and spread it out same thing with bones like short little bones

You they're like they're like compacted. There's still a lot of marrow. You're long bones have stretched out You so it's kind of the marrow is kind of needed in I do you think that sort of how like things that I do that keep me kind of youthful and Spirit also help keep my bones fresh like like when I'm listening to young person music and stuff like which I do often What's young person music? Do you like to handle no no no no like Olivia Rodrigo's guts?

Which he listens to for a long time the other second half finally. Yeah, now he has heard the full album The full albums and she's like 20 she's a young person and I'm listening to music as if I'm just sort of a pier of hers So so would you think that's just a fairer bang and alley the Olivia to part?

It's just the kind of cool friend who looks like a tiny bit older but barely barely even know It's a very young but his boards were all but performers on a stage Who's this character that entered we've this character that entered the show I just like you love the theater Just me You're saying that because Mike is a fellow performer with Olivia Rodrigo. Yeah

They would be made with camaraderie. So you're saying that anyone who does anything on a stage should be able to get along Like I should be best friends with Jim Brewer because we're all that's well You have all the same values. Yeah, you have the same beliefs because we think all the same things Yeah, by the way, I don't like Jim Brewer and offers current stuff

Of course stuff's kind of interesting but for his old stuff when he plays goat boy. That's kind of oh yeah It's kind of not cool to like play a whole creature when you're not hooked It's kind of like problem. Yeah, it's just weird. It's just like I don't know it's like we're not jokes like we exist And I Yeah, we get it

I know we don't cut him a break just for that. No, he should be you know And he is worried now he's in right-wing country as he should if you see any if you see any or hear any like Minotaur comedy on a podcast You should a pounce and make sure it never happens again. I'll charge right it. It's not happening in my book Okay What you guys first like I heard like oh, there's like a Minotaur thing that happened on the podcast and I go back and listen and I you know

I'm gonna go back into the backlog. I only believe I've been I only listen like the big right episodes Well, I'm not gonna go in like watch this like like you know like David Copperfield all I did listen to that particular one That's like not the one I normally wouldn't listen to

Well, that's the always there then we lure you into kind of the more niche topics Which did you know to that end and I don't mean to cut any of this off show But we do look we you picked a hell of a one to walk into we've been looking forward to doing the today cafe A lot and at some point we're gonna have to get back to the business of covering that It's a restaurant based on the today show. Oh, that sounds great. Where's an exit?

That's it. That's in it's in universal Florida like the original one. They don't have it here. They don't have it in Hollywood Oh, wow. You have to go to Florida for that But you were saying you will kind of only like like big Rides and stuff. I mean doesn't this today cafe feel too like niche to you or something?

I mean it's like the biggest television show in the history of television like really if you think about it Yeah, it's been a long run in here quite a while and the building is notable as it used to host the Beverly Hills Boulangerie which was a Oh, I just got a fact in this 20,000,000 He's like a bit of a person who was an opening Beverly Hills Boulangerie

But the first to restaurant when you walk in any park it is very common. It's kind of generic They're gonna have people hungry for breakfast sure, but this is kind of a step up because it's a it's a now

That's kind of some cool NBC synergy and effect. I guess the my question is do you want to like we we owe the listener getting back to the today cafe They've all been begging and pleading yeah, but probably true that tweeting at us Yeah, angrily that we aren't Really I really did plan to like come in here

Like go or Mike with my horns and leave I was gonna take a lot of your time. I'm really swear to God I was like really planning on just a quick murder and gone But well, but now you've decided you know Be proud of him for a second. I thought maybe we were gonna like fight a little bit

I was really gonna do like a punch challenge where we put take turns punching each other. Okay, that doesn't seem as fun Honestly, well, how about this when I let's talk a little about the today cafe sure minutes are feel free to hang out and participate Yeah, so yeah, you're against on the show at this point. I feel friendly enough with you hang out talk about today cafe We got a lot of great al rooker stuff to talk about yeah, yeah, yeah, and then if you guys want to fight it out a little bit

Well, I'd be bugs at the end maybe then that's up to you guys You don't ever by the way is one of the few people that got through my labyrinth He knew it how he got the job that was his treasure That was what he that was the test that he had to pass to be like a guy who's on television forever They've killed so many would local weatherman trying to figure out who you know can take over the today's show And al rooker just went right through he's smart

You don't think about a labrath you just see the end you go around again. Long's right in the midter comes kills you He went right up and over the walls So he just scared which is probably you're probably like waiting for why don't more people do that?

That's the smart way to do it, but like cheating is like part of how you get out of a labrath Yeah, yeah, yeah, he'll vibes just I got an alert 12 pack of monster energy Java Nitro cold brew only six dollars after sub and save coupon on page and Amazon So Jason, what do you think of that? Monster energy Java

Uh patronize the monster brand. I'm not a big energy drink guy, but what if you added the coffee to it Yeah, I'm interested in the coffee Is that the kind of thing you would drink no then why do you need to know that or see that well Just because they're gonna they're gonna really like cast in every wide when it comes to deals So I'm just they're bound I'm bound to like something the fact that you also sorry to carry off the entire

But the fact that you you not only refollowed you also turned the home screen notifications back on the entire premise of the thing went away been four days. I forgot what the specific premise

It will for you was only home screen notification. No, I know now I remember now But you that's two steps you had to remember to go back and turn on a little green dial on your phone Well, that's the thing you're not gonna get the deals unless you do it This is the trick These are what people don't know and I shouldn't even reveal it because then I'm gonna lose out on and the next expansion pack for Lorcanna because they're not getting the alerts directly sent to their home screen

And you might miss it. They might be sold out of limited edition marvel and Lucky Charms collab low key charms Imagine if you had to go through life not having a box of low key charms. Yeah, which are mr. V. Don't miss you visley Delicious, that's exclusive to Walmart. I can't I think so you do that? Yeah You pulled that that out that that's I'm gonna open my box of Carmella creeper. Yeah, I finished a monster master. You're a Carmella creeper

But I know Carmella creeper. No, that's gonna be like a collector's edition. I think yeah, oh, maybe

Yeah, we're not gonna get into collecting cereal boxes. Is that a hobby now people do it? I don't know. I don't do it Some people do it somewhere must know we'll see Well, I'm sure people are gonna start some collections of uh today's show mugs because that's one of the things they have today Oh, yeah, they have the very kind of mug that the hosts of the show drink and the whole in the whole thing We weren't even into the premise whatsoever. It's kind of a recreation of

Studio one day. Hey where the show comes from so if you ever wanted to visit where they are where the magic happens We're Savannah and Hoda and Al entertain and wake up America each mourn And that's what you get to do right towards the entrance of the park at Universal Orlando So what made the show is like what's the icon of thing is the big glass window wall, right? That's the is that the thing in the stage that recreated in this cafe?

It's not giant. I'll tell you that and I know you'd be looking for giant especially but I'll pull I'll throw it to what Jason said you brought up the what it was originally Beverly Hills, Boulangerie And I saw pictures of that establishment and I thought it was very Closed off and a little like not as warm as it could be not as vibrant as it can and they and I would say that the today show

Cafe the today cafe not the today show cafe. I know like you're wanting to say that. I know I know not while you're mind you raise a hoof to make she next time we do it to make sure don't let us say the wrong thing Please you got to respect the cafe today cafe well, I respect the rhyme is really what is it? Yeah, look there's very few the Beverly Hills, Boulangerie just open with the rest of the park today cafe open with the taping of Alruc was down there during her moat

He went down a receiving line of all your favorite universal friends. Oh, I'm trying to find the video of Jimmy Fallon doing this I know we talked about that on the page. Oh, yeah, yeah, we're just a big high five line because I'm pretty sure he must have high five The bunny from Hop who's voiced by Russell brain I'm something everybody wants to be seen do you know wait? What year was this open? What year is that line in there? This this is 2019

Staycafe is new. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess we could have gone there last time we were there But we only did it we were just in Orlando. Oh, I see after we say oh I always say that when you were there. Yeah, first and I was just kind of waiting eating my clip far I brought from elsewhere So all right, so your today cafe tip is eat somewhere else and use their chairs Well, I mean, I'm saying that's what I did but this time I made up for I bought a as you do at 10 30 a.m

Canola and wolf that down you we've been having more meals together recently. I think we've traveling and prepping for the travel I think I've seen you get dessert at every single one of them. I don't think I've seen you Well, cover reporter has to do the like work We had vacation No, but I'm thinking it's no awful restaurant, but watching you eat just like a fruit compote waffle is your lunch Not long ago Yes, that's the For strawberries that would be nice You're about your morning canola

You get a coffee with it. You dip the canola in the coffee like I did not already had coffee that day Oh, yeah, that's in fact that's I would do a morning canola now dip in the coffee and like some of the cream on inside the canola Would get in the car that sounds good. That sounds like a nice Well, imagine having that with the penguins from Madagascar alruquer and a handful of minions Yeah, no lovely wow wow all our favorites. Yeah, um, I did a I did someone of a high five line

I was in universal studios of sock everyone so all I get to travel. Oh, yeah Yeah, I have a travel back. I was gonna be no sucker for a little bit by travel bag uh in In the in the locker they have lockers in the front out out universal city walk kind of like right when you go to the entrance

And I found one in the back back corner because I had everything in there. I was very nervous about losing in And I was cleaving the park because I had a catch train and I pulled my bag out and I hear this music and it's like

Great good times come on and a blind. I'm not joking 30 minions walked around the corner It's like really like it comes to and they were and they were very much walking like they were like not on shift They were walking not like minions and then because they thought they were alone at this point of the park Then they saw me and they had to start acting like minions and I was just into it So I started high five and go and they just didn't stop coming in a high five to every minion wow

An incredible experience. What a dream man. You're from never forget. Yeah, that is awesome It's so cool. Wow and and the loopiness of that you're on the other side of the way I mean I assume your base is kind of more. I don't know where you live exactly kind of the California The lab There's probably this is a lab or in the in parts that contain you like burrow under the world sure

Many different places in the lab are that's right. That makes travel pretty easy So it's so convenient if you know where you're going but not ever Yeah, real fast cars going that means that you have been to Or at least maybe just you must have might have had to charge right through a bit city walk

Osaka. Yes, I did go to city walk Osaka. Yeah, a rare person rare rare Being I guess we've had on the show who's been to city walk Osaka I don't want to skip ahead because we still have to deal with or land We got our work cut out for us Orlando wise Anything interesting in notable you noticed in city walk It was been a city walk Osaka city walk. Oh, no, no one here has so there is a store at the very beginning of it

They're not what's around that I went in 2019. There's a store that's like like America cowboy store And like I think it's like called Western America or something like that you want to get and it's like It's all American kitschy stuff and cowboy things and American flags

They sell like it. It's like a cowboy store And they have like an arcade like shoot-em-up game and like I like you drop pilgrim game and it was really amazing And but then then the one almost more surreal besides that is just like Sing a bubble gum trip in Osaka seems well They still are so if we ever were to do the city walk Japan saga

We would have we if once again be back. Yes, if When when when right we're gonna have to we will once again have to handle Bubba gum There's a lot of the third time maybe more depending on I don't know where else we're gonna go I believe there's also a t-ji for i days. I believe so I mean I think it's conventional everything there's a few conventional restaurants. Yeah, tg friday's a bubble gum tonight Gosh, Tokyo dome city as a bubble gum and tg. I does it really I thought so I'm not sure

I got to go back and look at look at my photos. It's see, but yeah, you know what? I think that a universal Japan still has this restaurant Beverly Hills, Boulangerie I think because it was just one of their like they probably recreated the kind of generic

Hollywood Beverly Hills like opening area. Yeah, yeah Uh, so I think they had and probably this today's show means nothing to them so they don't have today cafe But you might have passed right by that that Beverly Hills, Boulangerie the thing we've been talking about wow that that would be incredible I just didn't even know like two ships the night Something we didn't know about her care about until culture like changes clammy columb sandwitches

On the other side of the world to our Japanese brothers and sisters Uh, um, well, what's some other stuff about this place? Uh, well you all right So you are you are a canola. How'd you read you feel about that canola? Uh, I thought it was good. Yeah, I thought it was pretty solid Jane really liked the breakfast sandwich and went everything kru saan Uh, no, oh, go ahead. Sorry. I actually smashed avocado divina tomatoes, which

Divina tomato. I looked it up. It's just rose tomatoes On everything bagel seasoning kru saan served with side of fruit She'd dead that without the sausage, but she had high marks for that I'm gonna confuse you a little here because do you remember what that was called by any by any chance? Was it just like uh, Those that was just breakfast sandwich everything kru saan Here's a weird thing that they do uh at at this place and maybe this this almost in a way mirrors the kind of bizarre

Politics and infighting that we know about uh from the today show over the years. You started saying that Sandwich recipe. I'm like that sounds familiar because I looked that up because I watched a segment From a couple years ago at where that was called Savannah's dream kru saan sandwich and now it's just called Breakfast I said I every yeah, what happened? Why was Savannah go three stripped of her sandwich title?

Which is very odd because she's kind of I would say the rock of the today show like I used to catch 20 30 minutes Today show when I was getting ready for my old job and I was like I like Savannah graph gothry she's like personable and normal and has weathered all the storms of the day show her and Al rooker and

The day hold in Kathy Lake. Have they leave of like believe is retired at this point. I don't think she's there Not there anymore And Jenna Bush Jenna Bush is there George W Bush is daughter Yeah, the party girl she's not parting anymore So grown up And she's got some things to say about international events Unfortunately She's gonna get away with more that she just went by

Jenna Hager why does she have to like you still carry the book? I mean I get it It's how she got the job, but it's also like you don't have to know yeah, yeah

I've seen his so great anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all those time goes by we all forget we start for given the the bushes Everyone pretend being happy with their performances on the third hour of the today show I like I'm sort of endeared though weirdly to Jenna Bush from her prehager Uh went because she is in there's all these if I ever talking to show before about the the videos that they made

Uh for the White House dog Barney the Bush dog Barney. Oh, they made they made every year They were this is the kind of thing that's like this is fucking toast and Trump era No, I'm not making little no yes dog videos, but every year they made a different thing where George W

Bush had to like act with his dog and like got bigger responsibility barn We got to clear out all we got to get this tree going I get that tinsel up and she Jenna was the worst actor in the entire thing by leaps and bounds like Would yes Barney oh yeah excited for another classic holiday around the White House And till she's looking every which way she does not know how to be on camera just screaming Yeah, I can't believe that she is a daily

Television personality from her beginning. I don't I mean she has come a long way Although I wish yeah, I wish she was still as like funny and cruddy as she was in the Barney holiday video. Well, they do um First off today show is like what four hours and four hours. Yeah, that's no like occasionally like we learned recently About you know copperfield based events and it's like oh Carson daily pops in and does hosting on the today

Yeah, I'm very shocked by that. I feel like you would never heard the Carson daily was a high-stung I knew they kept him like on contract but it didn't wanna me when his I had seen him host other NBC stuff after his show ended But he didn't want on me. Yeah, yeah, yeah Boyers right now is he permanent new years, right? I'm not sure the status of the permanentness of his hosting duties

I'm not sure if anyone well, but see I mean their see crests. There's the end Cohen. There's uh, I don't know who's permanent Who's not I don't know. I think he's been on New Year's. I'm not sure. We haven't seen the contracts. I can't speak to how

Carson daily is rocket new years evening. No, it's still Dick Clark's rocket. Dick Clark has it in his ironclad contract that it's still called Dick Clark's rocket New Year's Eve wow for some stupid reason a minute Our level of like seeing these things through yeah following the letter of the law you feel like Dick Clark would you know Charge back up here if you ever saw that name come off the right If Dick Clark isn't Hades right now talk to my dad Zeus he will get you

Back on the show he can get you back. Dick Clark will have a bullhead, but he can get you back There will be his hand goes right through Hollywood forever cemetery lawn as soon as they get rid of that name

He's coming fucking back. Oh that'd be the baby the biggest ratings you've ever seen that we'd finally be excited about new years Oh, I'll be Dick Clark introducing Megan trainer I Live you run regas Read bro go where he knows that he might cast video He didn't you didn't stop at the first half of her last name Did you know that young people are back on in sync in sync is now popular among young people again? United and they have a soul the trolls

Yeah, I think trope troll added hot ones around hot ones. I was I was I was saw a group of kids all like 15 16 17 and they were there the windows down there blasting and in sync song Wow, and I ever just like they're like this is which would not like a classic one Yeah, like one of the tearing up my heart. Okay, you're one of those like ones. I think I'm a much stranger if they were blasting the new one the trolls

Yeah, but either troll soundtrack fans. Well, it's like us when we were young cool high schoolers And we had the windows down with a CD of shanana The big shanana revival I know we are the rivals and then the 90s 2000s. Yeah, did you you eat or drink anything at the today cafe to coffee? Well, how was it?

It's close to rose to coffee That cafe how was that was the roast is a dark light I felt like it was a Medium roast it didn't feel like it was Yeah, but I mean they put a lot of creamer in there, so it's kind of just you know You know, we got a pre-bait so you don't you don't take your coffee black No, I do I do she don't Is that a insult against my man?

Oh, karma I don't have carvel drops, but I do yeah, I could drink it black though Okay, okay, we don't all drink our coffee have our our baits goods with like a squeeze of of Occular jelly. Oh, I just I just chew the beans and bad like grease the vlogular Now sure there's the there's the food which is all kind of like The sandwiches are all like New York seems like the idea here the Carnegie Platter and the big apple cheese platter the bowls and the bears platter

Is that because of the sketch? Why or is it because of a bowl market? I was gonna say I bet that think it's a market. Yeah, I believe it's a market thing. Yeah, okay, and I know I go to the today show for all my Financial suggestions the creamers off, you know because he's pretty sharp

Jim crainer event the creamer host a New Year's Eve event. Do we know? Oh, just yeah, laying about yeah the CNBC New Year's Well, he was one of those people hiding In the Bernie Sanders talking in the primary said think Jim creamer and no, okay, he was one of the guys scared He was about to get his head locked off Glad he's okay. Yeah, yeah, this is so embarrassing because of you know who I am

But I actually can never tell if there's been a bowl in the bear market. Which one's good? Which one's bad? You're not I don't think we're the people to ask I don't know I know the answer. I think if you know how to play them there both advantageous. Oh, that's true That's right. He's right about that. Well bowl is good bowls when everything's going up in rise Bear is it when everything's going down? It's bearing down. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, yeah

I like that. I think that's cool. Well because you're sort of bull like you're very admirable Yeah, like bullish Bull I'm bullish, which is what they say about the market. It's bullish. It's bearish. It's right. Yeah Hmm, and I'm you know, I've been bullish on the episode. I think since you I mean as much I like I'm glad I thought it was gonna be a pect one but now that I've heard you know like they were kind of talking about like the coffee was fine

The canoli was fine. It's almost like maybe this kind of was one where there was some room to the chat with a mentor for a little bit I'm sure but I know people want to hear about the today show cafe since our night 2019

Yes, yeah, you're right. Well, let's make sure we get our facts. Yeah, I'll open in May Uh, opening ceremony with Al Roker that I mean like With the thing that we got to give a little love to before we we wind it down unless anybody had big I did you guys have like special guests are gonna come into the garage

Oh crap it out now by what's happened. Well like Randy runnyans great grandson Happens to be around the corner and I'm waiting for him to show up because he's gonna put on his great grandfather's chuckle outfit and run in here But I guess I don't know maybe we're a little too packed. Oh, we were a time for it young Sheldon was hanging out in his car and I texted him I was like hey man. It's getting too packed this one

Yeah, hope you want to just meet me in an outper girl be there soon just got canceled though. He must be so bummed young

Sheldon got canceled. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the show the show not yeah Oh Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the old the old kind of yeah, yeah, yeah I but okay, here's let's talk for a second of the thing I mentioned at the beginning which is So a couple months ago minitar they introduced uh as I was saying they kind of shift these hosts around They like are at Savannah has an everything krason one day and then her name's not on it the next day

It's like they're trying to keep these hosts on their toes when she in this very segment brought up to al don't you have an avocado toast? He said Kind of rushing through it like oh, I think they took that off one or two years ago And so like what is this why are they Hiring and retiring hosts in terms of sandwich ownership good question Because al has a different item, but she doesn't yeah, yeah, she wasn't given the opportunity now

It was originally opened with like the marketing of like and a lot of these are al roaker's recipes because he's written a lot of cookbooks over the years Okay Uh a more healthy he did keto for a while right last bunch of way to and that So I think there are some healthier things on the menu. It is funny. They leg with that marketing of like that's al ret Al's recipes and it's healthy. Uh there are a lot of sweet some them. Yeah, so my Out of junefetti cake

You know want some sweet with your coffee you're out of the park having fun. I believe I they used to I almost got I think last time I was there They had like oh the chicken biscuits slideers. I was like oh that sounds good and then say that's that healthy grill chicken Oh grill oh grill is like oh

I say grill with the chicken at the bar. She usually pretty gross very Can I say something about grilled chicken though in general because I feel like Health wise if we could have just gotten away from chicken nuggets and gotten more towards pieces of grilled chicken

I feel like maybe we like I don't always want a fried thing is really what I'm saying you go to a state fair You go to any almost any fast food restaurant You're not often even given the option to not have like a fried piece of chicken If we just had grilled chicken on the menu you could even have like little tenders And you could dip the grilled chicken in some sauce and you get your flavor that way But I just feel like it's usually under-seasoned or dried out. Well, but that's a correct

I also think your premise is strange. I was at a roll-hard last night where there was the full gamut of Options was it a fast food?

Food the fast food restaurant was not a fat. Oh, you're talking about that's what I'm talking about Yeah, food isn't gonna why are you going to fast food for grilled chicken because I want once in a while If you need to eat something late or or or quick, you know, you don't necessarily want the worst thing You could possibly but don't you think you'd be immediately complaining about how crappy their grilled chicken?

It would be bad, but the sauce would make it takes better because the sauces are always very good That's true. I was a sauce counteract the Well, alphiness of the to some degree it does but at least the fried at least you're not getting the fried stuff Okay, but I think the fried stuff easier to make in big portions and usually more consistent I tried the black-end chicken sandwich up Popeyes and it was nasty

You're point is like think about fried thing. It's frozen That's easier to do I understand science is juicy even if it's on heat lamp Well, it's easier to do but also because it's easy well It's easier to do and it also tastes better when it's bad Yeah, yeah, that's also an issue with it

I'm just saying once in a while if I'm like trying to get something quick It would be nice sit in McDonald's They don't McDonald's even have like an option for a grilled chicken sandwich But it would be your son grilled chicken there you go But it all is bad all of the fast food is bad

I would eat the whole thing but I know for you guys You wouldn't want to eat it with even a little bit of pink in there and you'd have a teenager make it be bad Well, you like it with yay and your way of chicken preparation is like feathered beaked alive Feathered beaked alive

One of my victims that I bite that that guy's head off with the chicken inside of it And then the chicken is up a lot Yeah, chicken is in your stomach alive for at least an hour making for a streaming and agony the juices Yeah, before you can listen to hear the juices Destroying it your your stomach acid destroying the chicken and then you get and you guys Sue you get some sort of like a rousal from hearing the chicken dying Hold on and don't talk about my sexual disfersion

Well, you're an evil creature. Obviously like you're getting off you're getting off on My your a minute are you're getting on mic everyone and you know your rocks off This episode we will be trimming anything out there conveniently You're getting your fucking rocks off hearing a chicken stream You don't even recognize us as sexual creatures

Okay with certain boundaries, but yeah, she looked at a Jason. He's chicken McNuggets. He gets his rocks off too Oh, that's not on mic bring up the Jason gets a roused when eating chicken making no That actually is the time the dipping sauce is still a lot of the heavy left Yeah, there's mom bow and sweet and spicy jam right now Charge you extra for that What do you think about mom bow and sweet and spicy?

Uh mom bow is very good. I didn't try to speak sweet and spicy jam because I heard it's just jam See, but I like the sweet and spicy jam do you do you? Yeah, the mom bow I do I do I don't think it's a great execution of mom bow The regional DC sauce on a lot of stuff. Is that right? Yeah, I'm not familiar with it I don't know anything that's like an analog to a butt. Let me tell you about sweet and spicy jam

You get a sausage a cheese big grittle. Yeah, take that sweet and spicy jam You put it on top of there a little bit sweet with the with the spice that sausage patty it is a good good breakfast That sounds good. Yeah, or even just a sweet and spicy jam on a on a plane hash brown that crunch and the sweet and spicy jam

I buy highly recommend it. Yeah, I hear that I'll try the number food guys Are you remember for the one time a year I go to the And then I regret it immediately you love the YouTube channel square it's someone eating the new fist Food items in the cars.

Yeah, it was when I was the error in I know them it's still like insane there Still the ad hoc website set up with your Survation I thought that was a mistake It was the shadiest website that a theme park has sent me to and that includes go.com I live in a labber that I'm scared to go to Nintendo land I'm like word. I'm gonna be stuck in a line and I'm gonna be like oh, there's two at home

You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, even the other lot. Yeah, you're you live in a labber and then yet I think that the the genie plus lightning lightning situation might confound you Not to mention my new brand new ride they could have engineered anyway. They want to apparently doesn't fit minotaur size people

Ah, yeah, I'm a video game. We're dockecom and bowels are yeah, it can be in a cart Unbelievable that a minotaur couldn't unlock incredible powers with their size and heft you can get you can get going So fast if you're one of them Acceleration. Oh, yeah, but they're not there. They wouldn't even be allowed warrior would be turned away Let's not get understand like the Harry Potter ride

Being not minister sized people but like but life of pets come on. What do you do? That's a that's a flippant dark ride You can't fit on that. They could have made that any way Could have done it. Yeah, one mile an hour You know feels like they just haven't against minotars and people the size of minotars to be honest Like they literally could do it any way they want to that's how they chose sorry

I'm out of my hobby horse. Oh, I understand what you mean. Yeah, this year here. Yeah, our guests get to express anything park opinions They have and now I'm glad you're you're here anything and then you have a bunch that you've been to Osaka one thing that I think you'd be but that ride Was wouldn't really do it for you because part of the novelty is like you see yourself on a screen And it's like you're a little animal you're a little puppy

But you're already half right. I don't want to get anything wrong. Oh, yeah, half an ass So just filling in that extra half wouldn't be that fun for you. I'd be okay Because I'd be one third ball one third human one third puppy. I think that's kind of cute I think that'd be kind of fun and then you got adopted at the end. Oh really?

Oh, yeah, that's what happens. Yeah, thanks for selling me out of ride. I can't go. Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm trying to tell you stepping in it's not to tell you Let me go back to what I was saying a little while ago, which is that they they they trade these hosts in and out In a very cruel fashion, but sometimes they throw them a bone and I'll run out rooker gets to rise back to the top and have a new item

Now, I don't know if anybody in our group tried out rooker's butternut squash tart. So I can't really speak to that I'm going on a little bit of a of a tangent here Because I'm going to show a video from when he debuted owls butternut squash tart They sent al down to Orlando to talk about not just the tart I guess they thought the tart wouldn't fill an entire segment So they decided that maybe he should talk about some other stuff like the minion attractions that are

are pretty new down there the whole minion land and the minion cafe and he talks a little bit about the minion cafe And I found al rooker's thoughts on this a little bit more interesting Then his tart Tell us about minion land. I want to hear about your favorite part of minion land

I got to tell it's so much fun because the minions are there there's all this stuff there. I mean besides uh, you know, this this great minion land itself, which is on the main drag you've got the minion cafe Which was awfully tasty Uh, and in fact, I got to eat something that look it's the soup that looks like minion brains when they when they bring it out

It looks it yeah it looks grim, but it tastes fantastic. There's a lot of Okay, it is the well had the soup that that looks like minion brains And now I heard that and thought well that maybe that's something that they have But then I looked up the actual name of the item. This is just called auto's noodle bowl Yeah, this is not called minion Bring it. I remember seeing it. Yeah, it's okay. Um, just it's just a bowl that looks like a minion right?

It does a regular suit. Yes, this is a modern to visual clarity. You're correct that like it comes in Yeah, a clear bowl and the yellow is provided not by the bowl itself But by the noodles which are bright yellow and then you kind of like turn it and dump it onto your plate and mix it with the other ingredients But I don't think the intention here was for it to be minion brain soup Which makes it all the more strange when the hosts kind of grimace and then he says sounds grim but tastes great

That was cuz I had a difference. I had the green tomato soup Which I think is just tomato soup but these look like a brain or a liver No, there was poor belly and it's a minute to eat poor belly and it's a beautiful red Way poor belly in a tomato soup. It was surprisingly good and then it came with a little pimento cheese grilled cheese. It was delicious

Yeah, that sounds. I was you know, I you know, just like we're gonna end up like Pining for the other restaurant instead of the one we're supposed to be talking about yeah as alex I thought I was more fascinating talking about minion cafe. We haven't even gotten into these tots. I'm excited By the way, I was liking that clip. How he was So, actually, we're trying to ferment a fight between butternut squash and pumpkin spice.

Oh, yes, at the very top of that, yeah, there's a constraint because his thing is butternut squash and he says, well, unlike, you know, all that pumpkin spice, who likes pumpkin spice and kind of gets nothing either way. He doesn't get like a boo. Yeah. I'm kind of like, I don't know, I don't think anyone knows what they're doing exactly with the hatred of pumpkin spice. Oh, yeah. What is it? It's just one of those things people have started doing and do they mean it?

Is it just like a fun game for everybody to participate in? I did it. I like the people in that restaurant and confused by it and have no opinion either way. It feels like it's just maybe it's so everywhere now than that people are annoyed by it. I think the ubiquity. But is it also just, is it like, does it have something to do with like, like your, your like soft as well? Is it like one of those minotars slown? I don't know if it's like a very good, but it's like a full heart.

Yeah, I don't know. I'm not sure. It feels very like, I'm not sure what people kind of identify what's going on here exactly. I see it too much. I would have this and I would pumpkin spice the neck of my enemy and then eat it. Like a great thing. It's like it's getting your rocks off. It's fine. Actually, I had a pumpkin filled ravioli the other day. It was some red sauce. It was great. It's like a little sweet. Oh, yeah. And it's a sweetness that's not do overpowering.

It doesn't feel like having a dessert. So you can mix it with something savory. I think it's fine. Yeah. I've been eating the Duncan branded goldfish pumpkin spice goldfish. Wow, really? Hold on a second. Hold on. It's a lot of fighting. I've been really into the sweet goldfish lately. So I got the Elf one. I got the 20th anniversary maple spice. You're leaving me on the dust here. So the goldfish, the official goldfish crackers, they have a cookie, they have a sweet one.

They'll leave a cookie line. Yeah. Oh. It's like a consistency of the goldfish, the same like crispy like a cheesy one. You're still, no, it's like a like a thinner, crispy butter cookie on the sides. But the same size as like a cookie. Same size of the goldfish. Oh, wow. OK. You know what I had? There was kind of an interesting combo recently was that Campbell's is doing a chunky ghost pepper chicken noodle, which sounds like kind of a weird. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean I did I say that I had that. I didn't. I just did something that I saw on deal vibes. Yeah. That's an exclusive deal. It looks good. I actually miss that one. OK. So here's also what's happening. Pagresso or whatever the soup cans are doing. They are making spicy soups. And they are so spicy. Wow. Really? Yeah. Like a chicken tortilla soup and like a spicy chicken noodle. So I guess Campbell's is getting the games too. So interesting.

Like why is there a spice, whatever, they're going to sell spicy stuff at the grocery store right? I thought it didn't. It killed me. Wow. Oh my god. And this is you we're talking about. You were like down on your back for a little bit? Yeah. I'm somewhat of a heat seeker by itself. So be careful. I don't want to start any more rivalries. If you start stealing people's catch phrases. Catch phrase from what? This is other podcast. This is the whole thing.

This is the first podcast I've ever listened to because I got tagged in this. Oh, you know, not only did we bring you to X, you've never listened to a podcast at all. Wow. Wow. It's just like the radio. But it's like you download it or it's on an app. It's really interesting. Yeah, you got it. It is like the radio. Yeah. Check it out a lot. It is a little confusing. Just be be a little careful about the kinds of things.

Like if you're passionate about like a hot salad about the podcast forum, I think that area is kind of covered by this other guy. OK. OK. I won't touch you guys. I mean, I don't have many food opinions. You know, I like I go to the restaurants. And I'm like, you know, the McDonald's like I said, I'll tell you what, the spicy jam. I'd give it like if I was bringing like one to five, I don't know, forks. Oh, I would say. Oh, that's it's like. It's like terrible. Carried for two times.

Make it like make it like pitch forks or something. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, we hell that you're in. Well, that that conception of the devil. Hell boy. I'm rated four and a half battle access. Yeah. So eight blades and nine blades totals on my battle. That's not bad. That's not bad. You could also. Yeah. You could make it out of like six, six, six. That might kind of like get you away from the city. You're thinking of like a demon thing.

I'm more from like the Greek thing, not like the William Blake. Today, a Christian background. I'm more of like a Greek juices son. I think I said sounds right. It was all the time. Yeah, it seems like he, yeah, I'd love to. You don't know your own hit and you haven't done like an ancestry on yourself. You don't know exactly what you have. I don't know. Christian Minitar I'm looking it up. I'm sure we've been like appropriated by certain religions. Not great.

It says what religion is the Minitar and it's Greek. It is Greek mythology. Yeah. That makes sense. No, my favorite religion. Greek is the religion. Greek is the religion. Greek is the religion. Greek is the religion. Greek is the religion. Greek is the religion. Greek is the religion. Greek is the religion. American. Yeah, American. Number one. Well then let me, let me, let me tie it all together with food opinions.

You haven't done this yourself and they aren't, you know, you just high five minions while they went by. If you had to take a guess and follow Al's error and crack open a minion skull and eat the innards inside, if you would you have a good day. And then you have a good day. You have a good day. I think the brain would be a little pumpkin spice flavored. A little like cinnamon. You know, somebody broke down what pumpkin spice actually is. It's not anything to do with pumpkin if you heard this.

No. I forget somebody broke it down. It's like cinnamon, cardamom. Not make it. Not make it. It's a specific mix. It's what you put into the pie. Yes. So the pumpkin itself is not necessarily like part. It's why it's pumpkin spice, not pumpkin. It's the spice of a pumpkin. The spice of a pumpkin pie. Yeah. Wow. So it's like it's the brain, the brains of a minion. But you'll be pumpkin pie spice then. I have had some pumpkin pie lattes. I've been seeing on coffee shops.

But I'm saying if it's called pumpkin spice and it's really just the spice you put in a pumpkin pie, the pie part really should really be in the title. You're correct, but I think that does make me. Now I start leaning that that's sweet. Sweet. Yeah, me. I'm avoiding that. Because I think a pumpkin ravioli or a pumpkin bread, you would get similar spice. Profiles. You can see those room for savouriness in the general pumpkin description.

What an minion tastes like a banana because they eat so many bananas. Does it have good bones? They'd be good bone ice cream. Okay. Probably with, at some point, there's so much banana that some of that banana is going to filter down to the bone. And then you've got a natural flavor that like say the bones of a mic might not you're apparently have. For a long bone. Long youthful. And as long as Lincoln is Fort Tongue. Oh, he's licking his tongue. He's licking with his tongue.

What's the worst thing that's going to work on him? Yeah, I know. I can't lick his own. Is he ever wanted to lick tongue, bro? Somebody else's known it all your own. That's right. So I got to ask this with one of my biggest regrets talk about universal socket. I don't want to keep it. I'm not doing it. It just happens to be a lot of minion stuff over there. I regret not getting there was a minion burger. That was a perfectly yellow bun with a little eyeball in the center of it.

And I'm sure the hamburger was just kind of normal. I'm sure the bread wasn't flavored, but it looked beautiful. Like it's so cool. I really liked that. I had some mochi ice cream with the Tokyo Disney Sea. That looked like the little um, um, um, globishy guys. Oh, yes. That was great. That was also really good. That was top. And you know, for some reason maybe I trust that kind of thing to be done better in the Japanese parks. Well, this is stuff like that in Mario.

I feel like that's like, I don't think I don't want. I don't want any color on my burger bun. That's what I'm. Yeah, if you guys had a good iteration of that, no. Only if it's like steered. Like if they see or like an image or something. Oh, that's fine. Yeah, yeah. But not if it would not be the black bun at Burger King. Oh, that's right. They've done that there. Yeah. Wow. And if that dye that probably turns your poop neon blue. It's absolutely your what I'm saying, buddy. It's absolutely.

It's happened because I had the black slurpee like 20 years ago. Yep. And I shit neon blue. Yeah, let's say there's a food blue poop slaying around the labyrinth right now. Okay. All right. Try to get everything bun. I hear you. Oh, no. Well, any closing thoughts on today, Cafe? I know you haven't been minutes over. Is this all make you excited to go? I would definitely. I mean, it seems like let me ask you. If today's show stuff taken away, is it a serviceable good cafe for like a coffee?

It's a serviceable. Yeah. It was a lot of variety. And it was fine. As I said, it's a more pleasant environment. I think then the previous establishment was right at the front of the park so it's convenient. I feel like I, they think park habits wise. I feel like I'm really trying to get a coffee before I get into the park. Yeah. Wherever I am because I think it's going to be more of a hassle.

And you know, if like in Orlando, I'm in a hotel where I know that's going to be a quick starbucks there. I don't, I'd like my coffee to kick in before I am in the park. But are you guys that way? Are you willing to have your morning jolts in the park itself? I'm willing. But I do think it's nice to do it on the way. I mean, the best is if you're going to Disneyland, for instance, your mobile order is you're like walking down, down, down, down, Disney for that starbucks there.

Sure. And you grab it. That is a nice thing to walk in with a little cup. I get like a deal on like a twel pack of Java monster energy. Oh, yeah. I drink them on the drive down to the train right open. You drink all 12 on the way down. Yeah. I mean, you're ready. Sure. Coffee's not bad or else you're going to be hoofing it to that parking garage restaurant. That's right. I've always suffered it everywhere I go. Oh. You know, it started tense, but I feel like things worked out.

And now I'm so happy to say, Minitar, you survived podcast the ride the second gate of SoGlady Good Join us. Wow. It's like this labyrinth of a podcast that you're talking about was actually a lot more fun than mine. I didn't feel like I was going to die at all once. It's great. A little easier than the one you preside over. I'd say, and you know what? Let's give you the opportunity to exit through the gift shop. Is there anything that you Minitar would like to plug? Sure. Yeah. Of course.

Of course, come to my labyrinth. There's great treasure and reward at the end of it. If you can solve it riddles and puzzles and survive. I've been trying to kill you, sure. Also, gosh, I just saw this IndieGoGo. There's a great filmmaker named Matt Misani. There's an IndieGoGo who's trying to raise some money for a short film starring Mike Mitchell from some other podcast called The Doe Boys. That's the way Minitar, that's so crazy. You bring that up.

That's what I was alluding to with the fork scores and everything. Oh. That's the podcast that that guy is on. Mike Mitchell. I just read it on his Wikipedia. I didn't even know what it was. I was just being polite. That's this whole other podcast. It's good. I mean, we're way more popular. Don't tell him guy. We're, podcast already is a saintly more popular than Doe Boys. Matt's still a good one, a good podcast. Yeah, theme parks are much more universal than food. Yeah, yeah.

No. Very old and indy-bro. I'll think. But IndieGoGo for a short called Big Brothers. Matt Misani, look it up if you can't donate if you can. You try to raise some money for this film, so check that out. Wow, wow. Hey, Matt Misani, it's funny. You just have to have been a catch that. And a good man, and I think it's going to make a good film. And he's going to be good to the crew on that. This is a guy who's good to the crew. So you're going to explain.

You're a, you're a, you're a, uh, the minute are of the people. Sure. You treat, you treat people right before, uh, you start cracking their necks open. Or you're necks open. And chopping their heads off. Um, would there be some sort of, uh, news like what sauce would Matt Misani lay out for the Cruella Crafty section, do you think? Uh, there's gonna be a lot of sweet spicy jazz. That's what I'm asking. Okay, well, there's a sweet spicy. I'm gonna, uh, the mango. Mamba. Mamba sauce. Yeah, yeah.

What is this? DC? We're not DC. No, I'm not. You know what I have a few packs of Mamba sauce, right? East Coast Brothers. It's sisters. All right. Sure. I appreciate it. We're fine with Mamba. Um, how do you guys, do you want to like, uh, wrestle a little bit? It's really up to you. It's a video podcast. It's a problem. We don't really have three cameras. Shoot, I mean, we can. I'm just going to sound like Foley, which we've all learned. Oh, the Mentor is going to go with Foley.

He's here now, McFly. He's here now, McFly. Oh, Foley. He's charging. Oh, no, no. No, no. He's just having the second game. If you want to dig in with Jeper, turn us on. We have to be at B.M.
