Family Movie Night Preferences
00:00:00
Speaker
No, I have not. And, um, you know, all these things that are nostalgic for me that I want to show him, cause we have family movie night, uh, every weekend, like Friday night and Saturday. And, uh, I keep on trying to nudge them both into watching movies that I, I like that, uh, we're older. And man, if it's like, even from the nineties, midnight, they're like, this is old. Yuck. Ill dad. You know that they just don't want to see anything that is not Pixar, Pixar polished or, you know, dreamworks. It's a yeah, rud I tried. I showed them Star Wars on May 4th. I did. i I did A New Hope. Yeah. Oh, my God. The amount of protests. This is like this. This is dumb. This is. Wait a minute. Hold on a second. Do they prefer the live action Disney remakes to the original cartoons? Come on. Don't don't say. ah Let me see. They in some it's a mixed bag like they left like the Little Mermaid.
00:00:52
Speaker
live action versus the well it's weird and look what they did to flounder they wrecked him in that in the besides the cartoon but you know what like at this point that was a Ariel became one of her favorite princesses because now she prefers the cartoon It took a while but in general. No, in general, they do prefer the live action ones, but there are some scenarios where it just isn't as good. I think, I think, uh, as I continue to age, I'll, I'll make a bigger and bigger deal of that particular point that like live action ones are just, yeah, there's an elimination.
Critique of Live-Action Remakes
00:01:29
Speaker
no
00:01:39
Speaker
It's funny that now it's ne the the the gap in the turnaround to the live action is getting narrower because they're doing Moana live action. And that like, I felt like that just came out. So we're like saying like, what, like, what are we doing? What are we, what are we trying to do? Cause it's like, you watch Moana right now and it's like amazing. ah They're making a part two right now. Like I was up so well and that's very recent, but now it's like the need to make, you know, the live action. It's just like at certain points, like just checking off the list on every one of them. It's there's certain ones that they won't make. I think they're. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they're going to make a Pocahontas because they did them. Yeah, they're probably going to leave that one in brief that one. um Yeah. Yeah. ah Yeah. There's like there's quite a few that are you know what? I would say there's like some stuff from the Mulan one that they actually try to correct some of the.
00:02:31
Speaker
ah I don't know some some of the stuff from the cartoon that doesn't let's say hold up as well. ah they They kind of correct that in the live action and they have like interesting large action sequences in a way that that they didn't really have and it's still kind of just okay, but I kind of get what they were going there. I think there's some of their movies that were just okay to begin with, and I can kind of see why they want to revisit those. But the ones that are like considered classics, it's like, I don't know. What are we doing here? I remember that um that the trailer from milland the live action was like, oh, this is going to be the the best movie of all time. like it was they They did just enough where they um it just seemed really important. like It was going to be a major release. and then yeah I remember being disappointed by the movie. It wasn't because there was like no
00:03:15
Speaker
Mushu the dragon. sink Again, that's it's probably for the better. Yeah, Eddie Murphy. have what The but not it's I don't know, there was like something about it just didn't hit right. i probably I'm probably not ah explaining it well
Controversy Over Snow White Casting
00:03:31
Speaker
enough. No, no, no, I think you're right. It was it was like it's fine. Yeah, it's it's fine. I get i could of better. It could have been. I think next year the Snow White is coming out. Oh, is that right? Yeah, I heard something. But there was some kind of controversy about that. um and About the the seven dwarfs. Yeah. is how Is that what it is? Okay. Yeah, that they did not cast one that they're keeping those characters, but then to that they didn't actually cast little people. Instead, it's like, you know, ah Tom Hardy and Chris Hemsworth's faces on. Oh, yeah. Which is just like, what are we doing? Yeah, I don't think it's actually Tom Hardy. I think it's um I forgot who the the actors are. But
00:04:12
Speaker
Although I could see Tom Hardy doing something like that. It's probably Charlie Day. Charlie Day.
Idris Elba's Voice Acting Presence
00:04:19
Speaker
What was that show he was on? It's your town, man. It's a it sos always sunny, isn't it? Yeah. oh that chart I was thinking of Charlie Hunnan from the ah Motorcycle Show. Sons of Anarchy? Sons of Anarchy, yeah. like Completely different energy. Yeah, it's also funny. Okay, but let's
Sonic Movies and TV Series Opinions
00:04:38
Speaker
do it again. It's probably going to be Charlie Day. oh yeah voice was It is probably gonna be Charlie Day. And Idris Elba. Good god. Oh my god. Idris Elba as a Knuckles the Echidna. He's always like a voice actor for everything. It's like
00:04:58
Speaker
There was a part. Did you watch that, Matt? Feel free to spoil the song from your least for me. No, I did not. Okay. Well, it might be worth it just to just for that hard cringe at the last episode where Idris Elba threw the voice acting, watching Knuckles listening to some music. I mean, he the last line on the entire show is like, he's nodding his head. He says, wait, this is my jam. And he starts like, you know, singing to whatever the song is. And it's a, you know, so hard. It's so so bad. But didn't really laugh. That's what's important. Oh, he loved it. That was good. Well, then there you go. Yeah, they they know their audience. Yeah, you're right.
00:05:39
Speaker
I did. I watched. I think we watched because we watched the movies. The movies are pretty they're fun. They're fine. You know, there's no no complaints. ah Watch one episode of the show and it's like, eh, eh, not. I don't I don't know if we'll I don't know if we'll finish it. For one, ah Kid Cudi is a terrible actor. Stop putting Kid Cudi and stuff. Oh, that's right. What did he play? He was um a gay. Yeah, goon. But he was like dressed in ah you know, formal attire. And then he had like mech gloves on that had like that powered up. So it was like, ah I don't know exactly what they were going for, but it wasn't good. Whatever it was weird. I think he's only I want to say he's almost like he's only in it because he did the theme song for the last movie. It's like, all right, I guess that's a reason to cast somebody in a movie or TV show.
00:06:30
Speaker
um Directing spouse is also another good reason to cast. Yeah, that is that is true. ah So it sounds like getting getting
Debate Over Toy Story Sequels
00:06:41
Speaker
older. The one thing that we all agree upon is the remakes are at least a live action remix, not not not super happy with. Yeah, Toy Story live-action remake. What would you do with that why you know that happened that? That's not happening, but Toy Story 5 is happening. That's absurd. I will say why. Yeah, there's no need for that either. Geez. Arguably, there wasn't a need for a Toy Story 4. They definitively ended it with Toy Story 3. And I say that as somebody I enjoyed Toy Story 4. It's fine. is It's like, no, that's pretty good. But it's like, why does this exist? So I mean, I know why it exists, you know, in state capitalism. But
00:07:23
Speaker
But yeah, I mean, there's a part of me that well, actually, maybe on the same vein, have either of you heard like all the the the music from women when we were in high school and in like college that's like come back or been like ah interpolated in different ways into new songs?
Music Trends and Nostalgia
00:07:42
Speaker
I'm sure it's an exhaustive list, but I've seen a I can't name them, but I know you're talking. about yeah Well, the like the big one right now is, or at least over the last few months, is Shaboozy's Tipsy, which is the tipsy song from our our freshman year as a country song, you know, now. Same lyrics, everything. It's the same tipsy song, but it's now a country song. Really? Yeah, you've probably heard it and maybe didn't even notice it. That's how good of a interpolation they did. Everybody are getting tipsy, is the chorus, right?
00:08:11
Speaker
Yeah, I would yeah literally go to YouTube, look up shaboozy tipsy and like fast forward to like the the reframe. It's like, oh, yeah, that is what that is. But like there's, uh, yeah, it's well, it's both funny. It's also like, technically it's the same thing that happened when we were kids. Like there was a lot of music that was being re visited or read digest. Like the whole, like literally every bad boy song was like a, you know, some song from the seventies or eighties that they redid. So like, I guess it's like kind of for everything, but it's weird when it happens to like yeah your generation stuff. That's exactly what we're talking about. Yeah, the ah yeah getting getting older and realizing that. That's interesting. Yeah. I wonder, there's like there was a version of ah ah that the outcast song, Heya, but it's done, but it was a it was a cover. I don't know when, ah but it was the same thing where it's like, I didn't really recognize what it was. You heard it so ah so, the lyrics you hear it so many times, but presented in a different format.
00:09:10
Speaker
And it was only until they got like into the second verse that yet you know that what it what it would actually was. That kind of stuff was interesting. I don't think I've ever heard this one, the Shaboos. Really? the The one that killed me is there's like a Tiesto and like a new Tiesto song. I think it's Tiesto. It might be Kylo. It's like an EDM type song that they redo Shakira's Whenever, Wherever. Uh, which is, uh, that's, tech that's one of my favorite songs of like of all time. I think it's just like a very solid early 2000s pop song. yeah And, uh, it, yeah, it's kind of weird to hear it redone and revisited.
Back to the Future Remake Speculation
00:09:48
Speaker
And then like two young people, that is the song. The song is the
00:09:53
Speaker
the new version of it, not that old thing that their parents listened to. I was wondering if a movie that I feel like I grew up with that was sort of like an original, um if like when that gets remade, like um you know ah I'm trying to think of what an example would be. but like just a movie that I feel like I grew up with now gets remade and like different characters. and I think the war the one that a lot of people talk about that are shocked it hasn't happened yet, ah that probably will happen some days back to the future.
00:10:23
Speaker
Oh, yeah, that no way. The only reason my Marty McFly. but The only reason it hasn't happened, because why would a studio like it's one of the ah most famous pieces of, yeah you know, cult like the our cultural lexicon, I don't know, maybe ever, but is because Robert Zemeckis owns the rights. The studio does not own the rights to the movie. And because of that, he's like, no, why would I ever let a remake happen? But once he dies? yeah kind of Oh, I got two good apples. One was The Crow. Oh, God, the trailer so bad. The trailer was horrible. But who knows, you know, I think I would give it a shot to just to watch it. But I would be I would be so biased. because I really, really, really love that movie. I remember watching that in the when it came out and just like just soundtrack and, you know, everything. Well, but you're you're a you're a River Phoenix head. So that's not.
00:11:18
Speaker
and Yeah, I guess. And then Roadhouse, although that was like... You loved it though, right? I liked the new one. Yeah, I really did like it. And they went for something different, but I think they approached it in the right way where there was not enough... They didn't do a ton of... They didn't completely do a shot for shot or anything. Nowhere near. Very different. They re-imagined a lot of it and they made it work in a different setting. I like and I wasn't bothered by by the ah the UFC guy who was Conor McGregor. I hated it. He was what he was. It was fine. I have always been a Jake Gyllenhaal fan. I can't I could never justify why, but and I'm OK with it for some reason. Well, I mean, you're ah you're a Donnie Darko head from way back. yeah What's your favorite Jake Gyllenhaal movie? Where do I begin? How do you.
00:12:12
Speaker
Pick a letter. Pick a letter of the alphabet. um Yeah, I don't know. I mean, yeah. yeah ah I think the I mean, obviously, like, yeah, Donnie Darko was really was really good, although apparently the the guy who made Donnie Darko didn't really make any other good films. The Southland tales and then that's it. Then it just disappeared. And that movie is not good. That movie is terrible. Yeah. I read ah an article that said the worst movie of all time is Southland tales. and I did try to watch it once and it's like wow this is it's real bad yeah um but yeah yeah young Jake Gyllenhaal is really good but some of his older um or stuff that he's done as he's gotten older is uh is good too like I really like Nightcrawler I thought that was good yeah Nightcrawler is great are you not a Prince of Persia fan? I am not sure if I've seen that one that's Jake Gyllenhaal yeah it looks horrible I didn't either of us
00:13:08
Speaker
but You know, I was, I was rewatching, um, recently, um, source code and I thought that ri and i i really source code. Yeah. It's, I actually couldn't remember how it ended. Um, cause I, I was talking about it with something we betty now stupidly, but I still like the movie. It doesn't make sense, but everything going into it. Like I remember enjoying it and he does some, something, uh, there's a turn at some point where they do the reveal and he's talking to, um, Somebody's explaining that he that he you know that he his character he he died or whatever whatever it was. like They were doing the reveal. Spoiler. I know. And he was doing his his reaction to it, his character's reaction. It was so like nuanced where he was like shaking his head and he's like twitching his eye. and just like like not he like He didn't believe. He's like, no, no, no, no. That doesn't make sense. And I remember saying, like man, he's like a really good actor ah during that that part. but he was And that was early in his career. I forget when that movie came out.
00:13:59
Speaker
but What's the 2010, I think, something sometime around then? What's the um the movie where he has a twin? It's like the Villanueva movie? Yeah, I always get that mixed up with ah source code. um I can't remember the name of the impostor. Prisoners was good as well. Prisoners was dark. Yeah. It was a dark movie. ah Yeah, he is pretty solid. I'm watching his new Apple TV show, which I find ah incredibly generic as hell, but he's pretty good in it. Yeah, yeah I'm kind of waiting on on that one. And it's real like... just called Yeah, that's right. That one's pretty good. oh There's some stuff that happens towards the end that I'm like, what's what?
00:14:40
Speaker
I've definitely never seen this. I've not seen the trailer for this. That might have. Oh, you know what? This is completely unrelated, but it definitely just top of mind. Steve, you should check out Last Stop in Yuma. Don't watch the trailer. Actually, Matt, you might like it, too. Don't don't don't don't don't don't watch the trailer. Not 316 to Yuma? No, not three. This is the sequel. Last Stop. Is it really? No, it's not at all. Don't watch the trailer, but it's not. It's not the sequel. We should watch the trailer. You can watch the 316 to Yuma trailer.
00:15:18
Speaker
But don't watch the, so it is a, I mean, even describing what it is is way too much. I don't take any ah any movie recommendation. from you at any time, no justification. Okay. Yeah, it it's ah it's really it's really good. I watched it last night, pretty much off of a recommendation. and Also, same thing, don't watch a trailer and I was like, yeah, that was pretty good. I like it. But yeah, Jake Gyllenhaal is ah yeah he's ah he's good. well was' it he enough I think the thing I always think of him in, which is probably not fair to him, is that Bubble Boy movie. Oh, God.
00:15:57
Speaker
like just showing his range a bit on that. Yeah, I think he did that after Donnie Darko. And that was like, like man there's a bunch of movies I haven't seen from him. I have not seen the ah I've seen the day after tomorrow. I have not seen Southpaw. I heard that was pretty good right Zodiac is good. Oh, Zodiac is straight up one of my favorite movies of all time. Yeah, that is like really David.
Exploring Jake Gyllenhaal's Filmography
00:16:20
Speaker
For me, it's like peak David Fincher. It's just so and this the feel of the movies is like, oh, my God. Yeah. I always look forward to when I forget how that movie sort of goes along. And I'm like, oh, excellent. Time to watch it again. Yeah, it's.
00:16:37
Speaker
I don't think I've ever seen that movie either. Oh yeah. Do you feel like when the, let's say the kids go off to college, you're just going to just binge movies every day? It's just going to be- I think so. Yeah. And I don't know how I would, because it used to be, I was so into it. I would watch- Right. I had at least a peripheral knowledge of a lot, at least popular movies- Dude, we got finals tomorrow. Go away. I'm watching. but i would Yeah, I would pretty much be aware of ah ah a lot of it. I could talk to some level of, ah I don't know, like with with most of these movies, but I've missed so much. So when I do get to go back and and look at some more, i I don't know where I would start really, but I'm i'm thinking about it. I think I'll start with the Gyllenhaal era. Do you guys remember when we when we watched the, I think it was at least Final Destination 1 through 3? We did? Yeah. Yeah, you don't remember that? we did like ah
00:17:30
Speaker
a marathon of these things. What did we do? Oh, we broke into a Penn State classroom because we knew the codes for the little cabinets. You can turn on the projectors. Which building was that? I don't know. Maybe. Really? Was I there? Are you sure this wasn't a Paco joint? I think he might have been involved in that. Yeah, Paco was there. Interesting. um I mean, I definitely remember like um but Pirates of the Caribbean Night and Monster House. I remember those two, like because we watched them in like random like dorm rooms, not rooms, but like ah the there's those areas where you have like a TV or whatever.
00:18:15
Speaker
But yeah, breaking in, watching the just the first half of the Final Destination collection. I don't know if we got to five. Well, there's six. There's six of them. take more i don't rep recall no here's thing Six is the second best. It's if you haven't seen it, ah it's final destination. So know that. But the they do something in that movie where you're like off. Come on. It's pretty good. I even heard some people like that worked on the movie that worked on the first movie talking about it. And even they were like, what?
00:18:48
Speaker
So I soft recommend Final Destination 6, which because they're jerks, they call it Final Destination. Oh, yeah, that's the new thing. and and And I think every Final Destination movie poster is always if you squint your eyes, you see a skull, right? So yeah, yeah, every time. It's so lazy. Yeah. Uh, it's, yeah, it's super lazy, but no, I don't, I don't remember that, but that does sound like something that, uh, Steve hasn't done in a long time. Yeah. We got to get you back in there, Steve. Oh yeah. coach I don't know.
Signs of Aging: Falling Asleep During Movies
00:19:20
Speaker
But here's the thing. By the time you get back to like, Oh, I'm going to watch, I'm going to revisit all these. That's like prime falling asleep in the middle of the movie. town like i doing That now. Yeah.
00:19:30
Speaker
That's another thing I could say for getting older is the man. I do enjoy me. Even last night we were doing we've watched Wish for the 10th time, the the Disney movie and man. Oh, that looks good. I haven't seen it. That looked kind of bad or generic, let's say. Well, ah I definitely have been falling asleep towards the middle. I have seen it all the way through it at one point, but you should. Yeah, you might you might want to give it. I would say. Do you want it? Do you know anything? um I've seen the trailer. I know there's like a ah star that. me ah A goat gets a voice and there's a yeah princess. It's one of the princess Disney movies, right? Right. Right. Right. Yeah. I mean, there's like something there's an interesting part to it where it's just it's references. A lot of the older Disney movies when I i think I enjoyed knowing that I enjoyed it more knowing that I can look back and see where reference like 100 years of Disney. They kind of that's its big um hook. Oh, really? Yeah. But if you were to just watch it for it its own sake, but you know, we're talking about it.
00:20:27
Speaker
on its own. It's like, yeah, it's OK. Even like the to be honest, even the even like the the the art direction or art style or whatever, it just it just looks very, I don't know, plain and maybe my like last like proper Disney point of reference is like in Kanto, which I think looks amazing. Yeah, like so colorful and but like it's just a really good looking ah Disney film, not even Pixar, just like Disney proper like this compared to that is like. This feels very muted. so Yeah, i don't I don't disagree. But maybe that's just my old eyes. I don't know.
00:21:03
Speaker
Yeah, after 40 drops off. That's the I keep on hearing about from everybody. It's like at your edge to some point, like within ah a week of your birthday, you get the eyes drop off immediately. Like you're sure I I did a I did a hearing test recently and I have the ah the hearing of a 39 year old, which I'm shocked by because I've been to so many like live events and stuff. It seems unbelievable. But I'm like, I'll take it. But my eyesight, my um I forgot what that like ah stuff that's like close to you. you like when i'm yeah like I've i've ah become dramatically nearsighted in just like the last six months. like It's just like absurd. i don't I don't know what has happened. I'm also like one of those people that I'm just letting it ride for a little while as opposed to just sucking it up and going to get some actual glasses.
00:21:53
Speaker
Oh, you got it. You got to get the cheaters. You got to get the ah good so you could do that thing where you hold the ah the the jar of mayonnaise, you know, far far away from yourself and like trying to squint to do it. Yeah. Yeah. Is this expired? You know, that kind of stuff. Yeah. Well, I mean, all the like the most stuff I can just increase the the font size, like on the Kindle or iPhone or whatever. But yeah, real life objects. There's no, you know, I can't enhance them in any way. Yeah, yeah you can't. pinch and zoom in pinch to zoom. Now it's just not an option, but, uh, all things considered though, I, you know, I feel, i I don't feel, uh, too, too degraded at this point. Like, like Matt, do you feel like most of the physicality you had like in in college, you still, you still got it or it's only getting better. My friend. Uh, no, I, I mean, I, uh, if I try to lift stuff that's too heavy, I can like kind of put myself out of commission back wise, you know, for a few days, but, um, I mean college, that's all you did was lift heavy objects. Right. Uh, but I think, um,
00:22:56
Speaker
getting more movement just kind of in my day to day, the pickleball stuff has been has been. Oh yeah, there we go. Yeah. Yeah. do Being able to see old people struggle, I think is like an emotional boost for me. And then, you know, obviously the the physical movement is good. Not today, old timer. that And there goes the dentures. That's game. We ah do you have a standing desk. ah Yeah. Nice. i do I've had standing desk for four years and I always like force myself like the first half of the day ah stand and like the second half sit. But then I also if it's like after effectively after work and I kind of want to work on something at my desk ah standing only. So it's like that's like almost like a limitation where it's like, all right, you can you can keep doing stuff, but you got to stand. and
00:23:45
Speaker
Right. It works out pretty well. ah But I think I might do the. um You know, there's like those like treadmill under the desk things. Oh, yeah. Yeah. At least gotten elliptical under the desk. What? Yeah. Just slowly up and down on the zoom call. ah I could see that I thought about doing the ah ah like balance ball instead of a chair type deal. But I don't know. I've tried that like in office before and it kind of sucks. Yeah. With the cats, you can look like a real asshole as well.
00:24:20
Speaker
Just like, you just disappear. Where'd he go? You know, it pops and stuff. It's not, yeah, it's not great. Yeah. Yeah. That's not good. You you were, well, are you on your feet at work, Steve? Or are you just sitting in your AC'd office just looking down at all your minions or? Uh, I guess looking up at your minions, I suppose. It's like, uh, no, it's, it's spread out. So, you know, the, um, morning, you know, in the office, the meetings, then job starts, and then there's a coffee break. So then everybody kind of comes back in and then there's, and you so it goes, depends on what the day's like, but it's kind of, uh, I'd say about half, half. Oh, that's not too bad. Do you feel like, uh, like if you, if you had to say like, uh, nobody showed up and there's like just some, some heavy stuff that needed to be lifted, do you, do you feel like you could jump in and help out or? like yeah Yeah. I mean, that does happen. Like we've had issues where we were, um, we had a big, uh, delivery and it's like on all hands on deck or.
00:25:16
Speaker
we we're spread out very thin. Cause we have a group of labor, a crew of laborers, like 20 of them, but they all have their own tasks. And oftentimes it's like, well, we can't leave what we're doing in order to just drop everything. And you know, it's a fire drill and you got to get something taken out. So, you know, oftentimes we'll me and a couple of the, uh, you know, supervision scan, uh, the superintendents, you just kind of move what you need to do. But that is like, you're not supposed to do that. You're not supposed to touch or move things. Cause it's, um, you know, union rules, you know, if if I'm not a pain, do, labor, um then you're not supposed to do that. So it's you you try to limit it like it's so it's not that I ah can or don't want it's like you're you're not eight year you'll get in trouble if you do it too too often because you know you want to be as helpful as you can as a team member other like the younger guys you often gotta let them know and just say like it's like well we're really not supposed even though you'd wanna you know just a kind of you know good intentions but still yeah ah could you still ah could you still lift up and hold one kid in each arm?
00:26:16
Speaker
I yeah, but it's what's the real really gonna be. I think so. Like teenagers. but like Is, know, she's six, but you know, I could do it spurts, but I can't. um I had her on my shoes. She's wearing um like nice shoes, but we were walking around. We went to a baseball game on Friday and she like wore these like little lifts on her shoes like they're dressier and she's starting like. it's starting to hurt her feet within minutes of us just walking from the parking area to the stadium. So immediately. So now I got a carrier on my shoulder and she's like pretty big and now saying like, Hey, lift me. So I cannot lift both. You know, I can't carry with you
Challenges of Disney Park Visits with Kids
00:26:57
Speaker
both. And you know, he's already like an older kid, but it's, uh,
00:26:59
Speaker
Even with just the six year old, it's, uh, yeah, after a while it gets rough. So I'm, I'm dreading and, and, and Betty had good, right? Like stacked, like, uh, yeah. Oh man. Hopefully it doesn't come to that. but I'm dreading. Uh, we're doing, we're doing Disney at the end of September. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. We're prepping for that. So I was gonna be I keep on wearing them. It's gonna be a lot of walking and doing this. It's so much walking. print There's like a princess ah thing where they do like your her hair and her and makeup and they make you a princess and she's gonna bring her own princess dress. And just knowing how she is, she's gonna want to wear the shoes and everything. It's like the beginning of your of our Disney day. It's gonna be rough. At least it's fall time. So we're not gonna it's not gonna be like
00:27:48
Speaker
100 degrees. I would hope not. That'll probably still be pretty. I mean, it's Florida, so it is a swamp. But i'm still yeah, it shouldn't be as hot. Prepping for that. Definitely one of the best things at, they probably have a Disneyland, but at at Disney World is the behind the scenes tour. But I wonder if that's actually great for kids because it's a lot of like you see how Disney World works and it's really crazy. It's like it's ah you go like really early in the morning and they take you like underground and you kind of see how the entire like Disney parks are. they're They're actually one floor up off the ground. And like so like the ground floor is actually one floor. You just don't realize it like when you take the the the elevated train into the parks, like you're actually going up a floor. you So you don't know any of this until unless you do the behind the scenes and you go underground, you see all these like tunnel systems, like all this stuff they have like set up. yeah
00:28:42
Speaker
But you also see like, I don't know, like a bunch of like goofies with their heads off smoking cigarettes. Like it's very like, you know, the magic is broken.
Behind-the-Scenes at Disney World
00:28:52
Speaker
Yeah, this is where the magic comes to die. A bunch of people arguing about their, their, their little paychecks. Like it's just like, I don't know, but, uh, yeah, I, as like, you know, an adult, I appreciate it. I was like, Oh, that's cool. Yeah, for sure. I could see, uh, going back for that, but no, I think we'll, avoid that we're doing um uh yeah we'll probably we'll split up do like the more princessy stuff like we're gonna do the cinderella castle as long as i can get tickets like i i gotta be on my i gotta set up ah an alarm for it for like 60 days before our first day and just so i can make sure i get these reservations for all these different things but we're gonna try to do like the cinderella castle this beauty thing and then we're gonna have all of our our rides like we'll do the rides so yeah it'll be good i'll definitely do the
00:29:39
Speaker
But you said she likes the Little Mermaid, like the Little Mermaid, right? Is like the animatronics are very good. Yeah, yeah, I heard that. And they they also just just opened up a princess and the frog that took it. It took it. Redid the not Space Belt Splash Mountain, Splash Mountain. Oh, Splash Mountain. Tiana's Bayou Adventure. So it's going to be like they do a lot of animatronics for that supposedly. I don't know. i think i've just opened that That's one of those ones where I'm like ah that is we're we're probably months away from that having a live action version and Oh, yeah. Yeah, because I feel like that's one that people have rediscovered over time. Like when it came out, I don't remember. It was like pretty quiet or whatever. But now it's like it's becoming like what people revisit quite a bit.
Global Disney Parks Tour
00:30:24
Speaker
So Steve, one other thing you might want to consider is for Disney, they have the Disney parks around the world adventure. So you get to go. Yeah, you get to go to nine parks, eat 70 meals.
00:30:39
Speaker
yeah The flights are included and it's over 24 days. yeah and keep ah gang Yeah. And it's okay. $114,995 per person. like that Double occupancy required. I would have thought 105. That's pretty good, actually. That's okay. yeah You sold me. Yeah. Sheesh. That's like Hong. I have no idea where I'm aware of the Hong Kong one. I don't know where they have. So there's Tokyo and Paris. Yeah. Shanghai. Yep. Agra. I don't know where that is. Cairo. Interesting. What's it what's crazy is they do different. ah There's like a lot of overlap, but they also have like a lot of unique rides or sometimes the pilot stuff in there like ah the like the parks that are outside of the United States to kind of see if they work. Yeah.
00:31:33
Speaker
I I thought um Matt was going for it. Just like he's being serious. He's talking about like Epcot. I I didn't I was not prepared for you. You're actually telling like, yeah, that's that'll be good. 24. I mean, wow, that's a lot of traveling. Yeah, that is. That's a lot of Disney, too. I mean, definitely by part number two, I'm like, ah, this was a mistake. Yeah. Also it's, I mean, 70 meals at the parks, like Disney foods, there's there's some decent food at Disney, but I mean, I don't know.
Oakland's Role in Disney Parks Tour
00:32:04
Speaker
That's like, I guess if you just have 450,000, you're just like, I don't, what do I, what do I do with this? Yeah. So can't trust the banks. Let's just go to Disney world. Right. Yeah. Global world. It's happening anyway. So yeah, age, age 21, day 20 through day 24 is all Orlando day one as long as
00:32:23
Speaker
So it really does rank. I guess it's like practical just space wise, but does it make it's like date? Do you want to get the the crappier ones out of the way first? So is that why? Yeah. Oakland, Oakland. Hold Hold on. I'm taking a shot. Downtown Oakland is very nice these days. yeah It's day six. Actually, it's better than L.A. and Anaheim. it's It's Los Angeles, Anaheim, San Francisco, Oakland, then right to Tokyo, Oakland, Oakland, California, Anchorage, Alaska, Oakland, California. Why would it? What are they doing in Oakland? The only thing I could think of is like Emoryville Skywalker Ranch. Oh, yeah. That is technically. Yeah, that's to the like east, east of Oakland. yeah Savor a final breakfast at Summit Skywalker Ranch before transferring to Oakland Airport.
00:33:08
Speaker
to continue your amazing adventure. That's crazy. but Both um Skywalker Ranch and Pixar Campus was just like an Emeryville, like north of Oakland. that there They're both kind of interesting to go see. They do have like touristy, kitschy things or whatever. But for the most part, they're just places where people work. Yeah. Like their actual facilities that these people do their jobs at. So it's like almost strange to go visit them. It's like, huh. So, but I guess that's part of this $105,000 package.
00:33:56
Speaker
that's gonna be and my seat you u s
