Kevin, Kevin, I just dude, I just got the celebrity birthday list printed and handed to me from our runner. Okay, from down on the Dolphins sideline. No one that worked here. No one's ever run us one thing. I am amazed. We're alone in this building. It's like, is COVID back? Am I missing some them? Are we even on the air, Kevin? Is there any confirmation?
Danny and Mike and of course we have JJ and I have a story about a restaurant that we've all been to, a place we've all spent time at. In fact, some of us might look up on this place very fondly, and it's time for them to be annihilated because they've made a decision that I disagree with vially. Chuck E. Cheese has announced that we're moving
its animatronic bands at all locations except for one in California. This announcement comes three weeks after the release of Five Nights at Freddy's the music the movie that was based on the video game or security Guard tries to survive for five Nights and Chuck E Cheese type place, was it over Christmas? Why was he in there five nights? When Chuck E. Cheese didn't open play the video he saw it, I don't think it was like a five night I wasn't
counting days. It's called five nights, I know, I wasn't. I don't know how many days. I wasn't counting the days that he was doing Security Guard there. Well, let's assume it's because of the title. Why would they be closed? Is that your question? Was it over Christmas? But even then must have been look or maybe like repairs. I'm going to plot details in the movie. Yes, Oh no, it's been shut down for years. That's what the whole thing is. So the yeah, the
owner of the building, he just wants he can't let it go. It has been close. It's like the eighties love it and so yeah, good times. I told you just to imagine Chucky Cheese. If that would have happened, all the animatronics come to light. Okay, so they're getting rid of the band. So they're getting rid of the bands. They already did this. Now, well they have it at some locations. They have like and it's not awesome. What about but this is a like, this is
a clean cut. Now we're getting rid of all of them, at all of them because of five nights at Freddy's. And I'm like, the video games existed for years. You have morons. You think this is why they're doing it. No, they're using it as a reason to do it, are they Actually they say that they're gonna just making new enhancements. They're gonna have a state of the art interactive dance floor. Seven year olds don't need a dance floor, okay, they don't need that. A giant video wall
and screens. Oh there's we're already overscreened. As kids. The most popular kid folks are kid games and new trampoline zones. Sounds like an insurance risk. If you ask me, why don't you let much Is and much of his Make Believe band play their damn songs because it's awesome. Have you been Chuck, No, he's not been there in forty years. Yeah, he doesn't care about this. I do care about this. The last time you were inside, it's the last time you were inside of Charles Entertainment Cheese.
I haven't been in a long time because I'm an adult. Okay, well, yeah, you love it so much. How many times do you just just stop, buy and get a pizza to go Chucky Cheese and a beer? Yeah, they hear a beer. Play the claw the way the parents are going to stay sickond Play the claw can get you a new couchhe ball. I don't think you care about this as much. I think this is all performative as radio nonsense. Chucky Cheese also announced it has more plans to
quote celebrate it's nostalgia with fans and offer more entertainment for new guests. Expect more exciting announcements leading up to the brand's fiftieth anniversary in twenty twenty seven. Expect more stuff in twenty twenty seven coming up next. Expect more stuff in twenty twenty seven. Imagine me teasing the next segment's coming up in four years. They deserve to be eradicated. At this point, screw Him started putting
traveling band members like Pasqually the Pizza Chef out of business. Munch was a talented keyboard player. You remember their names? No, he just looked him up exactly. I didn't look him up. This is an important story to me. Jasper's the dog the pizza Man should write a very angry letter to the So there's a thing that happened months ago. Steve's sister actually wrote this Steve strip Mall Steve of the show You'll give one of the shows strip Mall
Steve. His sister writes for John Oliver, and she did a very big piece on the history of Yucky Cheese when I turned into Billy Bob's and Why, and it's maybe the most incredible thirty minutes television I've ever seen in my life. And I think effing sucks that they're getting rid of the animatronic bands and using a movie that came out that's not even good. Can I advocate
not using the movie? Can I advocate for chuck e cheese may I yeah, Devil's advocates, we do need Here's the thing, these things have been in various states of disarray for decades. They're probably incredibly difficult to maintain. These are from the eighties. You know, it's an archaic mechanism to get these things to move and sync up. Can you imagine it's like probably trying
to keep an old projector from the the forties up and running. You're always having it breakdown, or an old car and I know, projector, it's just you do. It's cost effective for them just to switch to something all digital. Kids probably don't care about seeing to they can playing air guitarring, you know, age folk, you're telling me four or five, like, what's the last year that a kid would be captivated by the dancing by the
bear with the cymbals. You're telling me that they wouldn't go buck wild if they saw that. They would be seeing it for the first time. You're thinking about this is like things of the New Age and stuff. They would be seeing something like that for the first time the same way we did when we were kids. All right, meat nuts, how many times have you been to a chucky cheese where the damn's curtains closed and it says bands getting repaired every other time I went to a Chucky Cheese when I was a kid.
The son of a bitch wasn't work in it anyway. So look, just get rid of them. Put in some screens. You can still play Whack a Mole and Star Wars or whatever you know, ballpit crap you can do outside of their average pizza. You had a bad Chucky Cheese, I didn't, and you went to Abilene. It's probably the same one you went to, which is the one in which Tall falls. Okay, that's a big problem because that's closer to Oklahoma, and we all know what happens when
you get closer to Oklahoma. Gambling, gambling. I'm not gonna gamble with my children's lives with a faulty drummer that's gonna fling a stick across the floor of chuck E Cheese and lodge into my kid's eye socket. No that's what you want, Kevin, Yeah, Kevin hates children. These kids with eye patches everywhere running around. Those are the good days. Though they used to also have all their songs were not like they would really send a message and
like they weren't scared of like getting canceled and stuff. You know, they tell you what you needed to know. You think, oh, I know, I know. You see these lyric sheets from some of these songs in the past, haven't you. No. Maybe we'll get to that tomorrow. Oohmgration, Maybe we should wait until twenty twenty evan to get to that. Yeah, hey man, hey, go a hey, animatronics go away. We got trampolines. Okay, they want to You want to wipe your kids
out? You want your kids tired, interactive dance floor where you have to run around to the color. I match the watermelon. The watermelon. Oh that's cherries. Match the two cherries. Run over there, touch that. These kids are wiped out and they're asleep within half an hour getting home. Who's gonna play a song? Just have a DJ? Yes, the press, play on DJ. Chuck's just gonna hit the song. The Shippy's gonna work at Chuck E Cheese. Let the band play the song, play the
new scizza. They don't have to get rid of the animatronics. This is horse ass. I listened to the whole Scissa album last night. You like it? I did because I realized, you know what, I don't want to just s on things I don't know. We mock what we do not understand. I saw I don't want to be that person. I someone agree with Kevin because of the last song with the Chucky Cheese. I was very disappointed of what I saw. You have a little nun the nephews and my
nephew had. It was like the first time I've been there in years. I'm excited. I was like, oh man, the band yeah, and then I was like this. It's like they're like they do like the Chucky dance, like well in your ears. They're like, what is this? Bring out the band Chucky? Want solo? The girl, this is whack. He's a woman. Show mid sucks. No, cap don't do that. Let's not do anything. I started it, but I don't want to do it, okay, because you're the wrizzler.
