In honor of our love it or leave it show tonight, I thought I'd
ask a question just to make sure all of our paddles still work
properly. Eric's got a piece of paper as a
paddle, but that'll that'll make do he he even picked out the
same heart and the same, you know, not love sign, but in
honor just to get us started, test out the paddles, make sure
they're still working well. Ramen noodles.
Love it or leave it. Huge.
Come on. Wow, unanimous.
I did not expect that. 'Cause we all have to pay for
our Disney addiction. That's how we save to be.
Able to go to Disney. So often, yeah.
For Fairpoint, yeah. Yeah, so this came from the fact
that we swear that Eric posts. We don't swear.
He does post a picture of from the RAW.
Noodles like every day. But he's inspired me to eat more
ramen noodles. That's the thing.
Like when we were at ALDI the other day and I picked up those
ramen noodle packets and then I. Those were those were fire.
They were good. I might ate 1 yesterday.
Do you use them up at all though, Eric?
Like I, I like? No, you just go straight.
No, listen, we're saving, you know, we, we got a little packet
and that's all we can go with. And I'm, I'm strictly chicken.
I don't even do beef or shrimp. And they have all types of fancy
stuff. What was your favorite?
Back of the day picante. I love the chicken and the
beeficante, and so the one that you bought, I've put hot red
pepper flake. Yeah, we should jump up a little
bit here at Story at the Krieger House.
So hey everybody, and welcome to
this week's episode of the DVC Show.
I'm your host, Paul Krieger, joined as always by my lovely
wife, Amy Krieger, Sales Executive for the DVC Resale
Market, Derek de Boer. Hey now everybody, happy Ramen
Monday. The honorable and the Hostess
with the mostest tonight because he's going to run this show, The
Honorable Jeff Haslam. Hey, dudes.
And we're joined this week again by the wonderful Eric Hersey.
Eric, thanks for joining us. Hey thanks for having me.
I'm excited about this. Hopefully there's more ramen
questions. You're gonna have to.
Yeah. Rewrite the questions real
quick, Jeff, because we need, we need more ramen in our lives.
Yeah. I I, I think did I, I It was the
same text thread in which I asked you to be on the shows, in
which I think I said that I was eating ramen or something.
You sent me a picture of ramen and I immediately said that's a
beef flavored. I could tell.
And you were very impressed by that and therefore?
Is it the Marshawn brand? Is that what you buy?
If we're going for the brand deal guys, we're if I post
enough, they will pay me some type of sponsorship money.
I will be their first influencer.
What? What with selling ramen at what
is it these days, $0.50? Used to be $0.10, but it's a lot
more now, right? It's like 1/4 apiece.
I buy them in the big packs, you know, from like the local place,
so. So I feel like they're
marketing, their marketing and sponsorship budgets got to be
like $5, I assume. I will take it and I will I will
buy half of a Churro I. I lived on those in college so.
No, you're not going to get any help by being on this podcast,
Eric, because every attempt that we get at a sponsorship deal
fails. We've tried Roosevelt's failed.
We've given up on Red Baron pizza, we're moving on to Costco
cauliflower pizza. So, but I don't think Costco's
ever sponsored anyone in the history of their of their
business model, nor do they take anything but Visa.
Yeah. What is up with that?
I've I, yeah, and I always forget.
I'm. Always the guy at the register
that's trying to use a different credit card and they always look
at me. We only.
Definitely, yeah. No MasterCard?
No. Yep.
Well, welcome to this week's episode.
We are doing love it or leave it.
Jeff came up with a lovely list of questions for us in both, I
guess the DBC and Disney sphere. You got a little bit of both for
us. Yeah.
Well.
That's a little bit of both. And then before.
We get into it. I just, I have this, I have this
vision of Eric, like he told us in the last or in between the
last episode about his giant wrestling rink.
Do you have a room like Scrooge Mcduck, but instead of like
swimming through coins, you're swimming through packs of ramen?
Because I feel like that's something you need to add into
your home there That's. We do that on WrestleMania
weekend. That's when we fill the ring
with all the ramen. You know, you only can do that
once a year or the the fans just don't want to see it anymore.
But it is a missed opportunity. You should.
You should have been kept
keeping like the packages throughout the year and then
like your culmination post at the end of the year is just like
you've rewallpapered your downstairs wall.
Listen, I can make a coat, a jacket, something like a giant
quilt with just a little packet. There's so much you can do.
Santa's been generous this year, kids.
Hearing hearing the word ramen 87 times on a Monday is not what
I had on my bingo card. Good thing it's a Wednesday when
we're filming this. Happy.
Wednesday. As always folks, we're not
brought to you by a ramen sponsorship as much as we wish
we were, but we are brought to you by Key Holder vacations and
the world of DVCDVC resale market.
If you're looking to buy or sell a DVC resale contract, Monera
Financial who will assist in financing that DVC resale
market, purchase the DVC rental store where you can try before
you buy, rent some points or rent out your own points for
cash to pay for ramen and unlock magic Unlock magic.com/DVC fan
for discounted Walt Disney World Disneyland Universal park
tickets. They're also doing specialty
park tickets and I think we've we're going to have some
Halloween party tickets probably before too long coming, coming
soon halfway to Halloween get ready because half of Florida
already has their Halloween decorations up.
We're we're ready for it so but yeah and then we we did just
launch some forum. So if you've not already joined
us over in our forum, DVC fan forums, forums.dvcfan.com, join
in the conversation and we'll make sure that there's ramen sub
thread and apparently a wrestling sub thread because we
need both of those after some of the conversations that we've had
with this crew tonight already. But Eric, thanks for having us
again. If you missed Eric's debut, it
was on our universal show last week.
Go back, watch that. If you want more Eric in your
life, the Jim Hill Media Network.
He's on a handful of podcasts. I I've named 2 but I feel like
there's even more. We produce a lot of them, but
for the most part at the Epic Universal podcast DIS and hers
is the newest venture that my wife and I pretty much take
things on things people are saying online and we just bring
it out there and we we debate. So it's really exciting to head
over the DVC forums because I have a feeling we're going to
find lots of good content that we're going to use for our show.
So thanks to the community out there for doing that.
And I think an upcoming show we're going to be talking about
a lot of DVC stuff. So I think.
Come come in there have the conversations create polls.
I'm pretty sure we're going to have that functionality up and
running hopefully by the time you know, we, we, we raved about
our our wonderful developer Ben, who you all met on our live
stream when we launched the forums.
We're we're gonna get Ben back on this show very soon because
the audience is obsessed with him and his cats, but.
OK, I have to say one thing really quickly, not to, like
completely derail us. When are we on the rails?
So we had a, a technology issue today where our servicing
platform, which is Concord Concord does a lot of different
lending. You know, they, they work with a
lot of different lenders and stuff like that and, and take
payments and stuff. And they had an issue and people
couldn't log in for a little bit.
And so we had sent this e-mail just, you know, we're working
on, they're working on it. And someone wrote back to Monera
and it's not our technology, it's Concord's.
And they said can Ben fix it? So that's what happened today.
Well. We are doing love it or leave it
tonight and just for lack, just for full clarity, if I love it,
I'm going to put my little heart up and if I'm going to leave it,
I'm going to put my little no go.
I forgot these had our names on them.
Yeah, these are these. There are wonderful additions
that Jeff made and personally delivered to everyone you know
months ago, Eric. You're going to have to write
your name on your paper. We'll have to.
Yeah, we'll get a custom 1. And there we go.
We got the pen. He's ready.
And yeah, Jeff, take us away with our first question.
All right, let's just remind everybody the rules.
I'm gonna say the thing, and then on the count of three,
we're gonna hold up our paddles. Don't be spoiling it by paddling
out too soon like premature 123 and then we'll show our.
In there. Our paddles.
Is it 1? 23.
Show it or is it 1-2? Show it.
Oh my gosh, Derek, do it with a weapon.
That's right. That's it.
That's a big difference. Is it 1-2 show or is it 123
show? 123 show, we'll say.
There you go. Now that we've spent half an
hour on the rules, the last. I'm really.
I didn't tell you guys this, but at the end of the show I want
each of you to have your own, so start thinking about that as we
go. Through Oh boy.
And we'll go around the room one time, so.
I already did mine. All right, first one, let's
let's start easy. Hopefully all of you have got to
experience this. Maybe not, but you've probably
seen vlogs about it. If not, I have a vlog about it.
You can go check that one out. But let's start with Zootopia.
Better Zootgether. Love it or leave it. 123 and go.
Oh no. All right.
Well, Derek, why not? Let's go with you. 1st I like
it. I didn't at all.
No, I really didn't. Think about it.
Have you seen the movie? Yes, I saw the movie.
And by the way, the fact that that is the #1 animated movie of
all time is ridiculous. It's not a good movie.
It's a fine movie, but it's not a good movie.
And they could have made that bug movie.
Annie and I went to go see it and it was like we were excited.
We actually waited for like 30 minutes for it.
It just was loud and there was no real plot and the, the
animation, the motion and all that stuff.
It was just like, now we're in the water and we're in the
desert, we're in the sand, here's lights and here's it just
was no way in comparison as good as it's tough to be a bug.
So I found it to be a huge disappointment that I honest to
God I will never watch it again. Eric, I need a rebuttal here
man. Come on.
Save us a little. I don't think I can save you.
So I am, I'm in West Virginia. I haven't had my trip yet to go
down there. So I've only seen it from like,
and I'm just one of those like, I'm not going to hate on
anything I haven't seen yet. I'm not going to really stick up
for Zootopia the movie. I've seen it.
I kind and and please everyone that's, you know, animators and
our creative friends. I kind of boycott the sequels in
the live action remakes right now.
I'm just like, please create new things for us.
And I know these are great. And and yes, it's probably
better that this beat out the live action Lion King because
that's not really an animated film.
So it is kind of better that we actually have an animated film.
But I went off the premise of do I think it's going to be better
than what they previously had, which was it's tough to be a
bug, which I haven't seen for five years because I just kind
of walked by it. So that is my preference.
I I haven't seen it. So let's probably talk to
somebody who's actually seen it and liked it, where I'm just
saying I'm not hating until I actually see it.
And I believe the animatronic's cool in it, right?
No, it doesn't do anything. Paul, let's let's go you.
OK, here's the thing, I do agree with what Eric said about like
sequels and, and I say this because I listened to an
interview that Jason Bateman did about recording the voice for
the Zootopia 2 sequel. And when I tell you that to this
day I'm pretty sure Jason Bateman doesn't know what the
movie was about. IA 100% stand by that statement.
And that's how mass produced sequels have become in this
space. And these people go in and they
record their voice and they have no idea of the context of what
they're recording. So I do agree with that.
Now, that being said, they could have replaced Tough to be a Bug
with absolutely anything and it would have been superior.
After the bajillion years, that Tough to be a Bug has been
opened. The grasshopper came out and he
looked like the Tin Man needing some oil by the end of it.
I mean, that ride was rough. And you've now injected recent
IP and recent nostalgia, some cool songs, some cool tunes that
kids are actually going to want and to go sit in this ride so it
doesn't become what was that you In our universal show, someone
said that we needed kind of like a nursing home portal or
something. And I mean, that's what this
ride was because no one was going there.
So the, you know, 5 people would go experience it.
Now it's actually getting some love again.
People are going to it. And this is the heart of this
park. You know, people should want to
go go into the tree of life and experience something.
So I got it and they. Slam and they and they will go
Paul, they'll go once and they won't go again.
I guarantee you. No one gets to animal Kingdom
and says, Oh my God, we got to go back and see Zootopia 2
Better Together, together, whatever.
No one says that they go once they walk away and go, you know,
the bug one was better. I guarantee, guarantee it.
I'm giving rebuttal. What do you got?
I disagree with Derek. The the tough to be a bug was
traumatizing to children. And like, you've got you've got
the rusty. Yeah, the the grasshopper, he
was scary. You've got the spiders that
descend upon you where you could just you could hear the screams
and it wasn't like fun roller coaster screams.
It was like traumatic screams. This is why the kids aren't
going back, Derek is because. They're Tropic.
The stink bug is no better than the skunk on Figment.
I mean, it's the same thing, just a different suit on.
Or, you know, different. So I, I, I thought the bug show
was fine, but we maybe went like a a couple times in the however
many years. I don't know this to me, the
Zootopia thing, it's it's colorful, it's fresh, it's
funny, you know, it's not scaring.
It's, you know, the, it's, it's children can, can ride.
It's not a ride Paul called a ride.
So it's not scary to them. I don't know.
Yeah and well and tough to be a bug had an element in the seats
where like it was like bugs and that always creeped the crap out
of me It it was super creepy they.
Were like Megan especially like Megan?
I'm not, I don't, I don't want to like ruin it, but that effect
is still there. But it's hilarious now.
Like I absolutely love that effect now.
Like they took something that I hated and they made it something
that I love. Slam dunk.
Derek's wrong. Yeah, and I'll just sum things
up. I disagree wholeheartedly.
I think Eric Derek must not have been in the right frame of mind
because Amy and I watched Zootopia 2 the other night and
we both laughed through the whole thing, that some of the
one liners in that show are better than Disney's done in
years. So I don't know what mood Derek
was in that night, but he missed the soul of that movie because
it is very good. The only cut I have on Zootopia
is I feel like they should have done a little more with the
theater rather than just new show without any kind of
repackaging. But having said that, I think
it's a win. I I've I've seen it five times
and I've loved. It every time.
So. So Jeff has gone back.
So Derek. And Amy has gone back and our
friends have gone back. So yeah.
So yes, that's a love for Zootopia.
This for Derek. And the police will be waiting
for the 6th visit. I went back in time and watched
the first one of these shows that we did, and there was a
couple that I kind of wanted to revisit because we did them
before we knew everything about them and we kind of covered them
as best we could. But now that they've been around
a while, kind of want to take another stab at it.
And the first one is Member Magic Beyond.
They paid for $99. Add on to your DVC membership 3
21 All right unanimous finally, Paul, you were a big proponent.
I listened to that show and you trying to sell it.
I wanna be a. Real Paul now.
Well, look, I think the I'm not. I'm still not lost at the
concept and we are still members because we wanna just see what
those perks are about and what they are.
So we do still subscribe to Member Magic Beyond.
But at the end of the day, I think the miss with this program
is it can be so much more. And this is one of those moments
where I sit here a year later and the data nerd in me wants to
see the churn statistics for member Magic Beyond because I do
believe that there was a huge number of people that did not
renew, so much so that they sent out magic band sliders to
everyone that I. Believe so big.
Giant magic band sliders like they went all out 15 cent like
ramen noodle like money magic band sliders here and they sent
it to everyone that subscribed in 2025 here at the beginning of
the year, thanking them for for their subscription, reminding
them to subscribe for the new year.
But the new year perks there's nothing really new.
There was like one or two things.
One was like something that no one would actually use because
it's like a photo. Alani, hey.
We can use that this year. Glad we're still members, Jeff.
I might have to change my answer.
We. Forget to do that.
I'm so sad because that's like the only benefit we would have.
Paid $100 for this photo. But yeah.
And there were a couple other small benefits, but they, they
just didn't judge this up the way that I thought that they
could. And I think even the, the, the
feedback in the broader community was I would pay twice
as much for this if you did XY or Z, you know, give me dining
discounts at quick service restaurants or bring back
something table Wonderlandish that gives me alcohol discounts
like that used to do. So there's just there, there's
a, there's several different ways that this program could be
successful. So I'm surprised that rather
than a magic band slider, we didn't receive a survey at the
end of the year asking us what we wanted for continuing our
subscription. That was the miss in the
program. And I think that I'm not quite
sure we see this continue to succeed if they don't make those
drastic changes. I'm very long winded today.
I'm sorry. No, that's great.
I tend to agree. Eric, are you a MMB member?
You know, The funny thing is I remember when it first came out
that I was interested in learning more about it.
And then it just completely like, I don't think I would use
any of that. And I recall that my wife looked
into it for one perk and that's how bad it is now that I don't
even remember what the perks were, that it was a matter of
like, all right, a guy from West Virginia who goes to the parks a
couple times a year. It just didn't seem like it made
any sense and I can't I remember what the perk was that I was
like, all right, we should check on this and we didn't qualify
maybe or there was some aspect I'm like, well, forget it,
whatever. So I think it was when the.
Eric, I think it was when they offered a 75% discount on Disney
ramen. That's what you were.
No, you know, we went to Disneyland and there was
something there that it was a matter of like you could do
something and maybe a discounted Disneyland.
Yes, there were discounted Disneyland.
Oh, you can't do it on the weekend, so you had no weekend
tickets? And we didn't qualify for some
reason, and I don't remember if it was because we had X amount
of points needed a couple more this or that.
And we're like, well, what? Because we were thinking about
buying it. And yeah, so we we didn't buy,
we didn't find a reason. I think that they definitely
could make money off of this for having some new perks.
So I think it's a good concept, but I don't think there was
anything that was like, oh, we absolutely have to do that.
So that's kind of why I gave my no, no vote on that.
Amy, anything else to add? You know for the right for the
right member it it's money in the bank.
If you are always buying those one time use points, you know
what I mean? That's the buy one, get one free
that that's your $100 right there.
Or if you come and you always need the photo pass for a long
trip, then that's, that's, you know, more of a value than the
$100 right there. But it's just they're very
specific cases that actually don't go with most.
What are you laughing at? You don't wanna know there.
There's a line. There's a line in Pretty Woman.
They're very specific cases of crackheads.
I yes, I do remember that I. Don't know why that came to my
head but. Wow, thank you.
So they're very specific people and not everyone like on the,
you know, Venn diagram overlaps those.
And so when you look at the perks for us, there's really
nothing, you know, if we're going out to Disneyland, we're
probably going to be using some weekends and you in the the park
tickets, you can't, they're not for weekends.
You know, the photo pass is one single 30 day allotment.
So yeah, that's not going to do any good if you live here.
And then, you know, we don't we're trying, we don't buy one
time use points anymore. So the the one thing that we get
is the they put your name on the front if you go into a lounge.
Yeah, but OK, I had to wait like 5 less minutes for the lounge,
you know what I mean? And there is a little bit the
after lounge access, but we don't go there enough for that
$100 to really be worth it. So if we don't get that one free
Aulani printed photo this year, I'm really disappointed.
I put a reminder in on on Siri right now so that she reminds us
to take that picture. Derek, bring us home.
Oh, are we still talking about this?
I mean, no, I, I think what they should have done instead of
making it look like a cash grab, which Disney can sometimes feel
like, you know, saying, hey, you just gave us $30,000 for a
timeshare to buy direct and hey, can you give us another 100?
And here's these extra things. I just think they should have
scrapped it and just included it as another direct benefit.
If you bought directly with Disney, that to me would have
solve everything because if you're asking people to pay
extra, you better have a good reason about why I paid extra.
And Amy summed it up saying, oh, I'm so glad I paid $100 because
I saved 2 minutes to visit Millie's Mile High Club at the
Magic Kingdom. Like no one wants to do that
for, you know, for $100.00. So I just think they should have
included it with the direct perks and made it more of a
reason or try to make it more of a reason for you to buy direct
with Disney. So I think it's silly and I
think it'll be gone totally only within two years, mark my words.
Let it be written all right next Eric I'm not sure you've done
this yet if you haven't done Zootopia but maybe you'll
surprise me Geo 82 at Epcot for those that don't know this is
the new adults only lounge in front of spaceship earth 32
we're. Definitely not going to agree on
this any like. Falls halfway.
You don't know what to do. Well, Paul, tell us why you're
halfway. You start us off.
Here's the thing, I I absolutely love that space.
I I think it I think they knocked kind of the design of
that out of the park. It's just a really cool concept.
People will disagree with me here, but having an adults only
space, I think Disney should do more of you know, I think that
that is a cool element, especially in kind of what is
the adults park, which is Epcot. It's really turned into that
between, you know, drinking around the world or you know, a
lot of these festivals are very adult, you know, oriented.
So I absolutely loved it the time that we went there.
The drinks were very good. The descriptions of the drinks
were very good. The two knocks that I give it
and this is where it's really difficult for me to go back is 1
on the price of of a lot of the stuff in there.
It is elevated for what the experience is beyond what I
think some of it could be worth and that that knocks down
further because of the ambience in the space.
It's a beautiful space. It's a cacophonous space like
voices echo in this room a lot. So it becomes very loud within
that room. And I, I would, I would be
willing to pay the prices they're asking if these other
elements and these other boxes were checked.
And because they're not, that's, that ends up kind of just
putting me in this space where we're not rushing back, we're
not trying to go back. But if I have something to
celebrate, maybe I'll go. But it's got to be a pretty big
celebration. And even then, I'm probably just
going to go to the salt shack down the road and get some wings
and a beer. But.
Paul's like, I really loved it, but next time I go, can everyone
just shut up? We just all sit and drink in
silence and think our thoughts. I'll go ahead and go next
because I thought I was going to hate it.
I really did think I was not going to like it.
But we finally got to experience it the other day and it is
beautiful. It's really pretty in there, and
I didn't think the prices were as bad as everybody said that.
That bourbon flight that I know Derek's gonna talk about here in
a second. Is good.
It's a pretty darn good value for what you get.
The view is pretty good. I would never pay for their like
fireworks thing cuz like, I don't want to have to take out a
second mortgage on my house. But the space is very nice and I
think it's a nice addition to Epcot that kind of gives it a
little bit of an elevated experience.
That's all I really have to say about it, Derek.
Perfectly said. We actually wound up going me
and Annie twice in like a three-week span.
Once was just the two of us and then we met my son Owen's
girlfriend's parents who were in town and we met them about two
weeks later, went up there. We loved it.
Like you said, the bourbon flight is phenomenal.
It's just nice to have a space that you know, at least when we
went, it was super quiet. So it was just really quiet.
Just a beautiful atmosphere. There's lots of Epcot history in
there. The view is really, really
unique and neat. But yeah, it's not a hey, we're
going to Epcot and we're going to do this every single trip
type of a thing. But I think, like Jeff said, if
there's like a special occasion and if again, it's hard to get
in, because I've tried the last few times that we went to Epcot,
just kind of playing around, like, OK, you know what, we
should go back to GO-8. Nope, it's all booked up.
But for me, I love that it's there.
We had a fantastic time and of course, it works out perfectly
if it's during a festival. We were there during the arts
festival. And that's exactly what they
want is give me and Annie a couple of bourbon flights and
then go purchase some art. So it worked out well for them.
I think we saw you on one of those occasions just stumbling
out of Epcot. Wait, that was that was the end
of the night. Eric, Amy, any other thoughts?
So I, I'm gonna be opposite. So believe me, and I will say I
will speak on behalf of the parents.
Listen, I dislike my kids just as much as I like, dislike
everyone else's kids just as much like it.
It is one of those things where I would love to get away from
the children. It is very difficult as a parent
to be like, oh, here's this great new offering that I'll
never get to see because I travel with my family and it's
like, well, I don't just randomly have a babysitter
that's going to take this. So, OK, so it's great that
they're opening up something that was closed off that some
people get to witness, right? There are elements of like, all
right, maybe it's adult after a certain thing or like, it sucks
that we're not going to be able to witness it until our kids,
you know, I got 10 more years or I just don't bring my youngest
to the park. So it's one of those things
where, yeah, I'd probably like it better if it was the DVC
lounge, but they already have one of those and they're
creating those. So I'm not going to, you know,
complain about that. There's a lot of different
lounges in Epcot that I would rather see being utilized for
just some than than being closed off, which let's look at a lot
of places over there. There's a lot of lounges, old
membership lounges that's not being used at all.
So I'm happy they do that and I would have an opportunity, but
as a parent that's not going to be able to see it.
I mean, I can't vote. Hey, this is the greatest thing
ever when I can't really go do that.
And I know that's, you know, there are a lot of families that
go to Disney. So I, although I'm a Disney
adult and I would love to go without them, there's still a
lot. So it's not accessible and I
don't know if I'd want to pay the price to bring 5 anyway from
the from the likes of it. So that's my two cents on
something like that. But I understand why this does
fit a great demographic that Disney is really wanting to give
some great spaces to. But if you can't hear, then why
can't you just have the kids 'cause that's literally any
other place where you just go to Dumbo Circus little area and you
can't hear. Same difference there.
Good point. I mean, you're not wrong.
It does limit the access to certain things, but I, I, I
equate it as they're going on a Disney cruise.
They're still an adults only section of the Disney cruise.
You know what I mean? I guess the trade off is you can
drop your kids off at the Babysitters Club, but I don't
know. Amy Well, I think that's what
they mission space. Just drop the kids off at
mission space. They get lost in that little
that Chuck E Cheese ball thing you you don't have to worry
about, then you can go. So I'm going to try that next
time. For me, I like it's, it's a
value thing for me. Like, yeah, it's a beautiful
space, but I'm not a, I'm not a big drinker, so I enjoy the just
fun mocktails. And there's a lot of lounges on
Disney property that have some really great mocktails.
And obviously when you're buying alcohol, you're not spending as
much as you would on an alcoholic drink.
They only have two mocktails. They are about 3 ounces of
liquid each. Like seriously, you could, you
could take it on a plane because that's how small it is.
And they're $17.00 each. And so that's a lot for an, for
an alcoholic drink. I know it's, they're made with,
you know, seed lip non alcoholic spirit.
That doesn't do it for me. I'm not, I'm not paying for that
because it, it's just, you know, tastes like fake alcohol.
Like I'll just keep bringing in a dole's then you know what I
mean? Like I just, they need some,
wait a minute, if I want something that tastes like fake
alcohol, I'm going to drink in adults because it's cheaper.
No, but like, like make some cocktails that bring in some,
you know, some, some flavors, some fruits and things like
that, that don't have to be as expensive as an alcoholic drink.
I, I don't love the food there. I didn't think any of it was
that good. I mean, does anything even stick
out to you that you like? Oh, I I can't wait to go back
and get that. I I would say that the brown
butter old fashioned is probably one of the best old fashions on
property. Food wise, nothing.
Yeah, I don't even like, remember a.
Stand out like there. There are stories behind every
drink and they're doing some special stuff.
But again, kind of like all these things have to be all the
elements of the entire experience have to be in place
for me to then really appreciate what that is, if that.
Makes sense the the fireworks package if you do the fireworks
thing you it is $179 per person before taxes and gratuity.
So we're talking for a couple over $400.00 after taxes and
gratuity and you're not even guaranteed a spot that's as like
right by the window like it there.
We remember they pointed out what tables were for that in
front of them there. Were 3 or 4 tables like, not
and. It reminds me of the time.
That always happens to us too. We get the worst table when we
do this sorts of packages. Yeah, we did the package at the
Rose and Crown. Yeah, they put us in this corner
table behind everybody and I was like, can we move over there?
We. Had a lot of money for this.
Yeah. So I just, I there's no amount
of endless booze for for a what to 2 hour span that I think is
worth $400.00 for a couple. Yeah, I don't know.
Now we need to get the Kriegers to Vegas and do the the High
Roller Ferris wheel because you only go around twice, but there
every other car is a bar and you get to drink as much as you
possibly can in the times that you go around 2 circuits on the
High Roller. I feel like that's a value right
there, yeah. So Amy will have about 6 O duels
on the way around. All right, I've never had no
duels. I'm just saying like why do I
want to pay that much for fake booze?
All right, let's stick with the lounge theme for a minute and
talk about Beacon Barrel. Beacon Barrel. 3. 2. 1.
I'm like that. I I think ours is tainted by
experience. OK.
We'll talk about it. So we were just at Bacon Barrel.
I actually got to go to a media preview by myself.
So Paul didn't get to go. So I got to try some things and
I was like, oh, this is really cool.
I'd love to, you know, I can't wait for Paul to see it.
So we went the night that we stayed club level and Jeff and
Dan came with us and we got a standing spot and it's just
like, it just sours the whole experience, you know what I
mean? That like, oh, I've been
waiting, we've been walking around the parks.
We're tired, you know this, we couldn't get a reservation till
like 10 something PM. So we did the parade, we watched
the fireworks. We were, you know, you're tired
of standing and walking around the park and then you wait for
your reservation. And that's what they have for
you, a place where you have to stand.
And like I'm old, my back gets stiff.
You know, Amy? Likes to have a seat if you've
ever gone need a seat anywhere with her, she's going to find
the seat first right and and I will say it's not just the fact
that it was a standing spot, but 85% of that venue has a pretty
good angle of seeing what's going on.
The one room that doesn't if you get put in the cannonball room,
I think it is or I. Thought it was the map room.
It's called the map room the. Cannonball shot through the
wall. It's stuck in the wall,
whatever. You can't see anything.
Nothing's going on. Right.
At least the Olga's, if you have to stand, you're standing at the
bar where you can see everything.
You're right, you can't see anything.
And then you're, you know, you're squished in there with
all these other people that they also put at this giant long
table that everyone else has to stand at.
And it's just not a comfortable experience.
You can't enjoy the, you know, the any of it.
Now I got. To run out of the room when
something's happening and stand in front of someone elses table.
Well, it's happening I. Do think they need some more
options too. So there's the food is kind of
limited. I know it's just a lounge.
They're only gonna have a couple things, but, you know, if you
don't like calamari, those, oh, what are those things called?
They're like the little corn cakes with the, you know, the
chicken and stuff in it. There's a veggie on the chicken
one. There are some seriously spicy
Peppers in those. So if spice isn't your thing
like that will knock you down. We didn't.
You didn't try it, but I had it. Yeah, we just had a couple of
drinks. And the other thing for our
experience was we didn't have the greatest service experience.
Our our our cast member that served us was great at the
beginning, fully in character. Our great like he was done on
the point. Every joke known to man and he
dropped our check off and then I think he picked up a check for
another table and then he. Said they were at our table
because we all at the share our. Table all at our standing table.
And then he said, well I'll see you guys later.
And I'm pretty sure he went in the back and was checking out
for the night because he did not come back for the better part of
20 to 20 minutes or so and no one else wanted to help check us
out. We asked, we had asked three
times, different pass members like, hey, can we check out here
at the bar? No, I'm sorry, you have to check
out with your server. And while we're confident it
could have been the people that just left that night, no one
would have ever noticed. We're not that kind of people.
So, you know, we, we did finally track him down.
And by that point the character was gone and.
Kind of. Like it was like, why are you
still here? Like.
Can you? We haven't paid, Yeah.
We haven't paid you. Yet I'm pretty sure you'd like
that. So tainted by experience.
There's a lot of good things going for it, but yeah.
Don't use our exam. Let's try some of those.
Eric, you got something good to say?
Well, I look at it from imagineering and experience
standpoint. I, I know when we had the
communicore Hall cafeteria, you know, college break room
experience that we, we have low expectations.
So when we see something that's actually put together that has
time, energy, detail, like put into something that's not
necessarily attraction, I want to give it the kudos in the
world. Now I've been in the same
situation when we first went to Oga's cat canteen, same
scenario. You're like excited.
You're getting, you're, you're going to spend a decent amount
of money. You had to get the, the, it
takes a lot to get those reservations.
And then you get SAT or basically put somewhere where
you're standing with another family and, and you're like
standing, I want that table over there.
I, I don't want to be around these people that I don't know.
So like I can I see the experience of that and I don't
know how how they get around that or or maybe just put all
seating locations you don't have to have stand.
I understand we want to fit some more bodies in there.
But yeah, when you wait all that time, that is very difficult.
But I also think from a where they're going in building, this
is a far much better situation than hey, we're going to make
these flex spaces and they don't have any immersion.
They are completely flex. So I think that's why I'm very
pro this experience, although I I, it always is a pain to have
to try to get these things. They're so limited capacity and
it really does come down to, you know, if that server was
amazing, you might have been like, all right, I can tolerate
this. But if you have a bad seating
arrangement, bad room, server wasn't great, you're already
paying more. You already had to go through
the hassle to get that experience.
You need it to all go really well to evangelize about it.
So they're really painting and putting themselves in a really
tight bubble here. That one thing goes wrong, then
you're like, what was it worth the value?
So I like where they're going, but I could also see where it's
going to come down to an individual experience.
And I once looked and on Google, you can leave reviews for this
and it wasn't doing great. There's a lot of people that
were giving it a thumbs down on Google reviews when it first
opened because of similar circumstances.
Although when you hear online everybody's like this is the
greatest thing ever, but a lot of people were mad with similar
circumstances. Well, and off the record, we
have heard that they are re looking at certain elements of
it now that it's been open for a little while.
We heard that, you know, potentially there might even be
stools or seating coming to that area.
That we hopefully they're taking.
So yeah. Hopefully you're taking some of
that the heart. I do want to say there's an
awesome cast member that is a host.
Jeff, do you remember her name starts with an L?
Lisa. Lisa, she was great.
I really enjoy talking to her and I know that when Jeff was
there, she kind of got, she had a little bit more time and she
could tell Jeff a little bit more about the theming and the
story behind it. She was very busy that night
when we were there, but she was very nice.
Yeah. And I think for me is kind of to
Eric's point, it, it is it's an immersive restaurant that they
didn't really have to give us. I know there's a lot of
similarities between Ogas. You know, you're, you're time
limited, you're drink limited, you're standing room only
sometimes. But I mean, it is a cool space
from an Imagineering standpoint, from a design standpoint,
there's a lot to look at in in that small little area.
I wish it were bigger. I wish it were easier to get
into. It probably will be after time.
I think Derek's favorite part about this is you can get booze
at the Magic Kingdom now without having to get a table service
restaurant. So I think that's a nice
feature. But I mean, I love this mug so
much. Like this is.
Yeah, that's awesome. Decent quality.
You know, it's kind of like the one they did for for Ogas when
it first opened. I just, I don't know, I, I and
pirates are my thing. Jimmy Buffett's my thing.
Like I was their target demographic anyway.
So I knew I was going to like it, but I, I, I really did enjoy
it and I will definitely go back.
Do you think it's going to be like Ogas though, where it's
like, that's like probably on the bottom of your mug it says
like edition #1 and they're supposed to be other editions,
but I'm not quite sure that we've ever gotten to the other
editions like. We did finally get a new Ogas
one and all they did was change the color.
It's, it was bad, bad news. Derek, have you been, we haven't
talked to you. Have you been to Beacon Barrel
yet? No, no, I have not.
We have tried multiple times, including we're going to the
Magic Kingdom on Mother's Day and Annie tried and used the
app, but it's just always not been available anytime we wanted
to go. But I would I said this on it
because I think just like Eric said so perfectly is that
sometimes we're used to, hey, this is coming and then it comes
and you're like, really that's the best the Disney Imagineers
could do. Seriously, that this from
everything I've I've seen all the videos and the blogs and all
that. I just think that whole
experience of it is looks amazing and it looks fun and
it's something that you can do at the Magic Kingdom and like
you said, Jeff, get a couple of drinks.
I'm sure I'm not going to be like, Oh my God, that was one of
the best drinks I've ever had. I've heard that they're like,
incredibly sugary and if if you don't have diabetes, you wind up
leaving with diabetes. Like some of them are just
absolutely insane. I don't know if they have beer.
Do they have beer? Yeah.
Like there's like one or two beers, I think, yeah.
So yeah, I. Odules maybe?
Let's Amy drink them all. Yeah, I I gave it heart because
I appreciate the Imagineers putting in the effort.
Like Jeff said, they didn't have to go all out like this.
So I'm excited to try it. Hopefully I will sometime soon.
The other thing that I, when I went back in time to watch our
old show that was new, that we haven't really talked about
since Summerfest, but cabins at Fort Wilderness, now that we've
stayed in them, well, most of us, I don't know Eric, if you
have or not, but we've all stayed in them.
We've all seen them. We did a live show from them
321. All right, that was easy.
Derek, I want to mainly go to you.
I'm surprised that Derek. You were really hard on it in
our last episode. Was it before I went or?
Was it? Nobody had been when we when we
talked about it. Yeah, so again, it's almost like
you guys said too, it's about the experience you have.
I went with all of you guys. It was so much fun.
But no, I thought it was great. Like it just looked really neat.
Again, am I going to use my points there?
I don't know. Probably not.
But I love that it's there and I love the passion that people
have for it, that I think it's so right.
You know, it's so neat to have a place at Disney that people
literally have been going for decades and you just hear these
stories and you know, the concept of, Oh yeah, you got to
get golf carts and you get to go around.
It's so unlike anything else on Disney property.
I loved how they were inside, too.
They were a lot cooler than I thought that they were going to
be. So overall, I thought they were.
I thought it was awesome. I didn't like how Lakeshore
Lodge loomed over it like the Death Star, like big.
But no, I thought it was great. Eric, have you got to stay in
one yet? I've not, but I did stay in the
old one right before and it was a we, we added on a day and we
just managed to get the cabins and I would I kind of, I'm not
an outdoorsy guy at all. Like I just don't like earthy
vibes, stuff like that. I'm very much like give me a, a
city with no grass anywhere. I'm completely like progress
Land would have been my place. You know, the original Epcot, I
would have loved it, but but it was really funny though that we
went down there that one day and I enjoyed like the bunk bed
aspect of it. And I like the, you know, they
had a little grill and all that. So I don't know how much newer.
I imagine they're way more updated and they look new and
feel new with a lot of the aspects.
But I actually really enjoyed. We just spent that morning and
that day just going around the wilderness area and going to the
little, the little stores that you, when you're in the hustle
and bustle of your Disney vacation, you forget that's over
there and just walk going to the different shops and seeing all
the little areas. And it's, it's been there since
the original part. You know, it's one of the
original things. And to see that and got to
experience it and, and they have different merchandise there.
They have all like Smokey bear stuff and they have the the Coon
skin caps and all that. I just kind of really enjoyed it
and I really was surprised by how much I like that entire
area. So I would stay at a cabin.
It's not going to be my top choice, but I certainly would
stay back there. And I think it was pretty good
for the kids. You know, a bunk bed that I
don't know too many of the other parks or the other resorts that
have bunk bed situations and the kids were excited about that.
Figures. Anything to add?
I'll just, you know, Eric, one of the reasons why it hits home
is because it feels like home. Like for us, it, it part of it's
like the, the Wheeling, WV nostalgia of, of, of being back
up there. And it reminds us why we, you
know, we took advantage of Ogilby Park when we lived there
and didn't appreciate it for what it was.
And now we do like going back there and we get a cabin there
now twice a year, we go back and we get a cabin, we take the dogs
and it's that same experience. I equate it similar to old Key
West in that you are able to remove yourself from being at
Disney World. And that's such a weird feeling
when you're at Disney World. But the fun of riding around in
the morning on a golf cart, driving through all these these
giant pine trees, yelling at Jeff because he's driving too
slow in front of you. I mean it.
It's just, it's a weird like you feel like you're a kid camping
again at a like summer camp while also saying to yourself,
in 10 minutes I can be at the Magic Kingdom And I I think that
the the glow up. We did the old cabin like you
did, Eric. We did the night.
Before and then we did the new cabin the next night.
So we compared them side by side.
Thought both were still great. I thought the old old rustic
charm of the old ones was still awesome.
Understand why they wanted to update it.
And then the new, The new concept just is that perfect
combination of Disney needs camping, needs glamping.
And so I think they, they knocked him out of the park.
We've always said the only knock that we've had is fact that we
have three dogs. So we can't bring all three
there. But our good friend David's
coming to town this weekend. He's bringing his dog Lilo.
They're going to stay there and I'm sure probably have a great
experience just because he can be there with his dog.
So I, I love it. There's reasons why I would not
buy it. You know, again, it, it goes
back to our universal show where there's economics involved and
stuff. But I, I think it's a home run
and I think, you know, it's, it's, it's still a great
property and the history is still there and.
And yeah, and it's a different kind of option for DVC members.
Like it just broadens our portfolio of what we're able to
do. Fort Wilderness, to me, it's
like it's own bubble inside the bubble, you know what I mean?
So like you've got the Disney bubble, but then you've got this
Fort Wilderness bubble where you can just, you know, you can just
do a resort only trip and you can just hang out there and
drive your golf cart around. And if it's the holidays, you
can drive around and look at everyone's decorations and, you
know, inflatables and you can go, you know, we went kayaking
and there's, you know, swimming pools and campfires and sing
alongs and archery and, and we love hoopty Doo and I like
trails in and Crockett's Tavern. You can see the fireworks if you
want, you know, over from the the shore.
So there's just, it's just a cool vibe.
And then when you're in the cabins themselves, like they are
beautiful. It is really cool that they're
dog friendly. So a lot of people will get to
experience that taking their dogs to Disney.
A lot of DVC members that, you know, otherwise have never been
able to do that. But you feel like, like with all
the windows that are up really high and the trees, that you
feel like you're kind of in the trees and in the forest.
And it's just like a little haven, you know, inside the
forest. And it's very, very peaceful and
very quiet. And we like, you know, we like
going for walks and runs. And we found some really great
places to walk and run around. But yeah, my only downside is
that, you know, because of the annual dues, because of the
economics that Paul talked about, they're not selling well.
And because of that, the inventory for DVC members is
very low because there's not a whole lot of points declared for
it yet. And I don't know if there ever
will be. You know, they might still, you
know, maintain a large portion for cash.
So that makes it hard for those of us that don't own there to to
get in and actually be able to enjoy it.
It's a detriment to the the objective of selling DVC because
you, you want, you want people, you want the members to go and
experience it and be able to save positive things about it.
But not enough members have been able to experience it.
So they don't know really what to say about it.
So it would almost be in, in their favor to kind of just like
even if they, I don't know how they could do it, but when they
declare inventory it, it then goes into active DBC inventory
and they have to pay annual dues and all of that.
And until they declare that inventory, they can do what
they're doing now, which is basically rent 90% of it via
cash reservations. It would be cool if they could
just take a month and say like here's a bunch of inventory and
anyone that can book it. Because I do think there would
be a positive element of doing that and having people stay in
these and experience. Yeah.
And it's yeah. And doing a tour is one thing,
but you don't get the full feeling, the full experience
until you've stayed there, you know what I mean?
Instead of just going and like walking through when a bunch of
other people are walking through that.
Yeah. Yeah, and I would just echo kind
of what you guys said. You know, we took Amy's mom and
sister were in town last week and we took them to Hoop Dee Doo
and I just, I knew Amy's mom was going to love it.
That's right up her alley. That's there's some stuff that
are very similar to that in, you know, Pigeon Forge in Dollywood,
even back in Utah. And she, I don't think she's
ever had a better time than we went when we went to that show.
And I was explaining to her as we were kind of waiting for
everybody to use the restroom and stuff as we were getting
ready to go back on the buses and I was showing her the model
cabin. We didn't go inside, obviously,
but I'm like, this is one of the places we can stay with our
points. So next time you come.
And she just thought that was the coolest thing.
And the camping, they're big campers and stuff.
So yeah, I actually I like the cabins a lot better than I
thought I was going to. Yeah.
Well, Jeff, good news list, but we're running out of time, so
why don't we bust to you guys and let you go?
I was going to say good news and bad news is that you you've
gotten some very passionate, you've gotten some very
passionate answers out of all of us.
We do have time probably for one more, but I do.
Yeah, I know that. I know that you rag on me all
the time for for never doing a Part 2.
But we will come back and we will revisit this and we will do
a part. 2 How many do you have left?
17,000,000 Probably I. Don't know 20 probably.
Oh, then we definitely need to do a Part 2.
Yeah, I, I was originally going to say do you want to do a speed
round? But then I was like.
No, I like these. I like.
Really good answers, SO we'll come back around, yeah.
We can do one more and one more. I'm interested to hear Eric's on
this because he's got kids. I have kids, you guys, you know,
have dog kids and Derek's kids are old.
So I just kind of wanted general consensus last final on for
everybody on the new villains show.
Love it or leave it. Has anybody even seen it Not.
Seen it? We've not seen it, no.
Let's do a different Do you just listen now listen yes, I, my, my
family and I all like it. So there you go.
You guys go see it and then come back around and and and we can
argue. It's sad if we haven't seen it,
hey, But I did finally, Jeff, I went and saw Country Bears last
last weekend for the first time since they've changed it so.
Very cool. Love it but it's broke already.
It was broke the the ceiling. The ceiling person didn't calm
down. And and and unfortunately, as
much as it is a is a pretty cool, I don't want to go back
and do this. I'm going to give credit to
Derek because country bears is the perfect example of tough to
be a bug actually is because you it got to glow up and it got
like this really big bump for a small moment.
But like you, there was no one in the theater with us.
Like it was empty. OK.
It was like it was after the fireworks though, so.
I, I think you could go there, you know, at 2:00 in the
afternoon and probably say the same things.
We when my sister was here, we went.
It was on a Wednesday in the afternoon and we had to wait for
a full show. Oh yeah, going to the.
Next show, maybe I'm wrong. So OK Derek, you're you're still
wrong. Sorry.
Gave you a moment, almost. But anyway, well, that was fun.
Come on, Jeff, one more one. More.
OK, one more different one. Love it or leave it.
No show. Louie Bluey coming to the
Disney. Park the question is that oh.
That's a weird. Question love it or leave it?
The test track refurb. No, no, I want to go back to
Bluey. Is that?
Yeah. I can't believe you're asking
the question, but let's go for it.
Love it or leave it, Louie coming to the Disney Parks 321.
I'm torn I just don't care my my mom loves bluey I catch her
watching it when she comes here sometimes.
But she also has a real life Bluey the cattle dog, but I've
never gotten into it. But I know a lot of people like
it so. I want to know why Eric hates
it. Yeah.
Yeah, let's go with Eric first because we might not go back on
the show. Let's see what happens.
I don't dislike Bluey. I think where they're doing it
is is is stupid. Yes, it is.
It is Playing Rafiki is not the place you put it.
You do you. There's a train that doesn't
come frequently enough. There's not enough room for all
the strollers. You're you have to trek yourself
back to this little area, which you don't have a stroller.
So who are going to see this? You're going to have a bunch of
parents having to carry these kids and they're all gonna be
pooping out and it's gonna cause of just a giant ruckus.
And I just think that we know it's popular.
You already saw it in Disneyland.
It's like they had to create it. They had to get rid of the meet
and greet because the lions were so big at Disneyland.
It's gonna be huge success. I think Bluey is all worth it.
I just think what are you doing like that?
Should it should not be there. You should have figured
something else out. You should.
And I know they don't own the IP.
It's like a licensing deal and stuff like that.
But they should like I would love to know, do they have the
same situation as they have at over in Epcot when you meet on
an Elsa, you know, or the situation with Mickey at Town
Square? Are there going to be
opportunities for us to really meet them quickly?
If you guys get what I'm saying, which I have kids, so I'm very
cautious on how I talk about friends of and I don't think
they're going to have that situation.
So I think there's going to be ridiculous lines, lots of kids
miserable and tired. So that is my issues with this
whole process is I think that they're shoehorning it in and it
sounds great until logistically it's not a nightmare.
So sorry, that's a vote to no to where they put him.
Plus the bluey. I like bluey.
It's one of the best kids shows that you can watch as an adult.
I. Will, I will 100% agree with
you. Like everything you said is spot
on. Scott Gustin on X actually wrote
very well. It ceases to amaze me how Disney
continues to underestimate the impact Bluey will have on the
theme parks. You know that that exact quote
almost is what he said on X when everything out at Disneyland
happened that Eric just summarized, which is that you
you said it great. Even the show in Disneyland
Super, you know, Ranky Tink, you know, shoehorn together like you
go from Mickey's magical map to that.
Like, no, you didn't. You didn't you put like $12.00
and a trombone together and and that's exactly what you created
out in Disneyland. And that's what seems to be what
they're going, what seems to be see what they injected under the
cruise ships and it seems to be what they're going to put into
animal Kingdom. And it's like this is this is
the problem with several things that we've talked about, which
is the fact that go all in, this is going to be successful.
Don't don't say we're going to give it a try.
And then if it's successful and shows return on investment, then
we'll invest the money and blah, blah, you know, come on, just.
Believe in yourself. We listened to our guests and
our guest said we like Bluey. Great, we'll write that down.
That's perfect. Well, and I and I probably
should have specified in the question about what we were
talking about because IA 100% agree with Eric.
It was such an afterthought as as to where they put it.
It deserves its own. It should replace the Beauty and
the Beast show at Hollywood studios and have like a real
bluey thought out with a script like something something
substantial. I agree, having said that my
grandkids are going to go nuts when they get to go out on the
train and meet him and them so I don't know I I'm a fan of it.
Like, not that. Oh my.
My mom would love to meet him but I feel like she'd pass out
in the line because she almost did.
When I go I'm that way to Pooh for like like.
We're standing like standing in the heat 15 minutes.
And it was a bit it was it was almost too much not to age us
here to end this. But is is like Bluey, like the,
I don't know if it's a direct comparison, but I feel like he's
like the Fred Rogers of like the new generation where it's like,
I feel like Bluey. That's way too old.
You're going way too far back. OK, Sorry, but I feel like he's
able to inject into shows elements that are very touching
emotionally the way that Mister Rogers used to be able.
Yeah. Yeah.
Mr. Rogers used to be able to approach those tough topics in a
unique way. And like, I know our friends
Mandy and and them, they've moved and there was a show on
moving and it was, you know, it was very emotional.
So I don't know. Does it?
Yes. I, I think I think you are
right. I am also going to save you a
lot of hassle right now because you're going to get beat up.
Louie is a girl and you're going to get beat up online because
we've we've made that mistake on podcast before and they come at
you. The Bluey clan comes at you
hard. So Paul didn't Paul didn't say
that. He said she is no, no, she I
agree with you. I think Bluey is in that whole
scenario is very much like they're tackling tough topics
and getting. Children and or adults to to
hear messages come across and it's not too preachy and it's
done just right. And it's and you, you can laugh
as an adult to watch it. And that's why I like listen, I
got to watch a lot of shows and some I cannot tolerate.
And Bluey is one that's like, I can watch this.
Yeah, there. Did you know why?
Did you know why Bluey was a girl?
Huh. Well, yeah.
Well, what? I'm trying.
Yeah, of course I did. Because what I'm trying to say
is the only right answer for this question.
The only right answer for this question is to have her take
over the horrible Zootopia show inside the Tree of Life.
That's what she needs to do. I don't think he really.
I think that's suffice. I please bluey fans, don't come
at the comment section hard. That's that's.
No come at the comment. You know, or Derek reads every
one of them. You know how it goes there.
Come at the comment section. That'll just boost this video
even further. Come viral, Bluey's going to
come to you guys there bluey's going to be in the next episode.
I'm going to make sure that Grayson snips this whole segment
of the show and puts it up as shorts so that Bluey.
I just don't know it well and sorry Bluey, I I know people
love it. Yeah, yeah.
I, I, I really haven't watched it enough.
So I I apologize to her. Well, you have homework.
They're like 6 minutes of episodes.
You can blitz through 5 or 6. I'll just wait till Amy's mom
comes to town next time and it's on for like 10. 10 is accurate.
That is true. This is fun, Jeff.
I feel like every topic like like we were all very passionate
about like some of these conversations.
So we'll bust the paddles out again here in the near future
and get through the other questions on your list.
As always, make sure in the comments of this video, you let
me know how terrible I am for misrepresenting Bluey, but also
you let let us know the answers to the questions if you were
going to be asked them. And head over to
forums.dvcfan.com where we'll chat even more about these
answers because I think like as much as we all stopped talking,
we could have kept talking about all of these different topics.
So super fun. Thanks, Jeff.
Thanks Eric again for joining us, and we will see you all next
Monday. I love you, Bluey.
My hair kind of looks like ramen noodles today.
