to
1:49
Podcast The Ride, where today's topic
1:52
is about to trigger a live
1:54
Vince McMahon meme. Here, I'll
1:56
get you guys in. I'm Scott Gairdner.
1:58
This is Mike Carlson. There's Jason Sheridan. in case
2:00
you all want to do this with me. You
2:03
know what I mean, and our guest
2:05
Jordan too. Let's jump around. I
2:07
would love to be part of the meme. Jordan, I'll
2:09
do a better intro. And if I'm thinking of the
2:11
same meme, it is a four panel meme. Anyway, so
2:13
having a fourth guy. That makes sense. Yeah, yeah. Let's
2:16
just start here. I'll kind of call it. I will
2:18
do the captions on the side and we can, if
2:20
you remember, yes, it's the four panels of and you'll
2:22
see what I'm doing here. Okay.
2:25
So today's topic, kids pizza
2:27
restaurant with
2:30
arcade and go
2:32
karts, an
2:34
animatronic band themed
2:38
after mostly forgotten characters from the 1960s.
2:50
That was the thought process as
2:52
this topic was presented to us
2:55
by now here returning to
2:57
the show with a proper
2:59
intro friend of the show who hasn't
3:01
been on in far too long from Jordan,
3:04
Jesse go and from the new writer of
3:06
the new graphic novel youth group available for
3:08
pre-order now, Jordan Morris. Hello. Hi,
3:11
hi. Welcome back. Thanks for having
3:13
me back. Yeah, of course. Thank
3:15
you for suggesting it bringing this
3:17
topic up. Bullwinkles restaurant
3:20
slash play place arcade.
3:22
It's one of the
3:25
showroom theatrical experience fountain
3:27
shows, water
3:29
show. What don't they have? Yeah, yeah. In
3:32
some cases go karts. I don't know. Yeah,
3:34
yeah. We will figure out the full breadth of
3:37
what they had. And this is a topic
3:39
that has been on the
3:41
podcast thread to do list. I'd say for a
3:43
very long time. I remember making some list of
3:45
like we're starting the second gate. This could be
3:47
a good one. It was you came up in
3:50
a club three poll at some point, but with
3:52
Jordan, it has to be main feed and you
3:54
know what? It needed to be main feed. Oh
3:56
yeah. This has main feed written all over. Yes.
3:59
It's a really. strong area
4:02
and a really good brand. I mean
4:04
it's one of those where, actually last
4:06
night, Jordan, we were hanging out at
4:09
the same birthday party. After
4:11
you left, somebody asked, what are you doing on
4:13
Podcasts the Ride Soon? I said, Jordan is coming
4:15
on to talk about Bullwinkles. One
4:17
person at the table had no idea what I
4:19
was talking about and the other two were like,
4:22
whoa, wow! They did live Vince McMahon's. I
4:26
think it really depends on what part of the country you're in,
4:28
but if you were near one of these and went
4:30
to one of these, I think it's a big deal.
4:33
Yeah, yeah. A lot of
4:35
Southern California locations, Pacific Northwest
4:37
and Canada, that was Bullwinkles
4:40
country. Okay, okay, yes. Maybe
4:43
some stray ones in
4:45
like, wait, I have a list of kind of
4:48
the odd where they were.
4:51
Myrtle Beach, Pensacola, Florida,
4:54
Grand Rapids, Michigan. Other
4:57
than that, mainly California
4:59
and then Jeddah,
5:01
Saudi Arabia. Inexpectably,
5:03
don't know. Not even one
5:06
like, not Europe, not Asia,
5:08
but Saudi Arabia. Really
5:11
weird. So the strangest, spottyest brand.
5:14
And just as we're getting basics out, this
5:18
is based on the Rocky
5:20
and Bullwinkle world of characters,
5:22
the Jay Ward world of
5:24
characters. The show that
5:26
aired in various names, but
5:28
basically Rocky and Bullwinkle from 1959 to But
5:33
this chain was mainly an 80s
5:36
phenomenon that went away. There's a commercial
5:39
for it. I think this dates it
5:41
pretty well. There's a commercial for it
5:43
where Bullwinkle is making fax machine jokes.
5:45
Did you guys see this? I
5:48
think I was. Why have any commercial loaded up, but it's
5:50
not this one. I should have ordered up this one. It's
5:53
like, you know, he's saying, it's something
5:55
like the narrator who he would always
5:57
banter with in the cartoons was saying
5:59
like. know, Bullwinkle just give me
6:01
the facts and then Bullwinkle says something about
6:03
a fax machine. He's like, what
6:06
about this new technology? So I
6:08
think this chain was at its height
6:10
around the time that fax machine jokes
6:13
were hot. Yeah, for sure. And I
6:15
think it's that commercial or it might
6:17
be another one where the tag
6:19
line is really good food.
6:21
And that's it. Really good food.
6:23
Whoa. And
6:25
not even like plus games
6:27
plus like. No, it just says
6:30
that and then it shows some
6:32
of the ugliest pictures of like
6:34
bar food you've ever seen. This
6:36
is the original draft was good food
6:39
and then someone's like, can we plus
6:41
this up? Yeah, yeah. Like Cameron writing
6:43
the dollar sign by aliens. James Cameron
6:45
came in. Really?
6:49
We fired James Cameron to consult on this pizza.
6:52
I mean, they have bumper boats. You can't tell me
6:54
James Cameron doesn't love bumper boats. Oh, yeah. That's
6:57
a good question. Oh, he must have at
6:59
some time. James, James, we have to eat
7:01
dinner before you get. I see you. I
7:04
have two bites, mom. I had two bites. Do
7:09
you think he has a bumper boat thing on
7:11
his estate wherever he lives? I
7:13
bet he has bumpers on his submarine. Oh,
7:15
yeah. And he can bump other millionaires in their summer
7:18
while they're exploring various stretches
7:20
making documentaries. That is a fun thing
7:22
though. It's just a fun little
7:24
love tap. It is fun. Yeah. It's
7:27
not aggressive. It's a gallows humor. There's a
7:29
gallows razzing. Just a little bit of razzing.
7:31
I see you down there. One
7:33
thing I do want to say, I don't think we've
7:35
said it yet, bow ankles still around kind
7:38
of. Ish. Ish. Sort
7:41
of. Not fully, but you know what? More
7:43
than I thought. Well, you have more. A little more than
7:45
I thought. Let me throw
7:48
it to Jordan because also you can speak
7:51
from experience at the level of still around.
7:53
Sure. So,
7:55
personal experience with bow ankles. Why did you
7:57
bring this to the table? Yeah.
8:00
Yeah, I loved Bullwinkle as a kid,
8:02
loved the cartoons, loved those old J
8:04
Ward shorts. I think they were, you
8:06
know, rerunning in Saturday morning TV when
8:08
we were kids and loved
8:11
them, loved that they were a little self-aware. He talks
8:13
to the narrator, he talks to the camera. I love
8:15
this, made me feel smart. Clever
8:18
meta. Yeah, exactly. And more
8:20
than, yeah, yeah. He was the Deadpool
8:22
of his day. Bullwinkle. Just
8:24
as twisted as the Merc with the Mouth. Whoa,
8:27
who are those? Yeah. So
8:32
yeah, and we would go to Bullwinkle's. It was
8:34
like a special treat. I believe we went to
8:36
the, oh boy, we went to the Anaheim Bullwinkle's,
8:38
I believe. And it was special for a lot
8:41
of reasons. I loved the animatronic show, obviously. Gorgeous
8:43
animatronics, some of my favorite characters. I think it
8:45
was the first place I had Waffle Fries, and
8:48
it was the first place I played Teenage
8:50
Mutant Ninja Turtles Turtles in Time. Well, one
8:52
of the greatest arcade games ever made. Two
8:55
mild stores for childhood. Sure, yeah, yeah. And
8:58
then- When are you getting anything else out
9:00
about Turtles in Time while Turtles in Time has the
9:02
floor? Because I'm not super familiar
9:04
with it, actually. I know that first arcade game
9:06
is so much more. Yes, you
9:08
know what, actually, in the arcades I ended
9:10
up playing the first one more. There wasn't
9:12
a good Turtles in Time cabinet near me
9:14
growing up. That's my memory. Turtles in Time
9:16
was like a rare white elk. Like
9:19
you see it every now and then,
9:21
like in an arcade you didn't go to
9:23
a- During a full moon, the mist would
9:25
roll in. Morning
9:27
would be gone. Staying at a
9:29
hotel, I feel like,
9:32
you know, family hotels, I
9:34
wonder if it's still the same, but
9:36
family hotels, I was always
9:38
like, all right, there is an arcade, what's
9:40
in here? What's grab bag gonna
9:42
be? Of course, yeah. And every now and then it
9:44
would be Turtles in Time. It was hard
9:46
to find in our area. Hard to find, yeah. I don't
9:49
know why. You know what, Mike?
9:51
You couldn't have had it all, you
9:53
know? Shamburg, you had everything. You had
9:55
every experimental restaurant. I know, but we-
9:57
You had Caesar Land. It'd
10:00
be unfair if you had
10:02
your way and I think it made you a
10:04
stronger kid and a stronger adult today Well, thank
10:07
you. Thank you for saying that I do believe
10:09
that I will say Screaming
10:12
at Michael you would have happy childhood
10:20
Dlt before any of us at
10:23
the McDonald's it would feel I
10:28
still remember what McPizza tastes like You
10:31
had it for six months longer They
10:33
I will say what I do own is though
10:36
from the game Turtles in Time is figures of
10:38
pirate bebop and Rocksteady Hey,
10:40
yeah, they go back in time and they're
10:42
pirates. Gorgeous. You have those I have you
10:44
have yours Yeah, okay. I have some turtles
10:46
in time figures and I have the whole
10:48
collection now like on PS 5 You
10:50
can the whole turtle collection of all the game
10:52
and arcade games. So I've played it I've honestly
10:55
played it more recently than I have when I
10:57
was younger But it's a cool
10:59
game superior to the original I think because
11:01
they traveled through time for sure and that
11:03
made it better Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
11:05
I agree Explanatory
11:07

well that's all that's all major stuff and
12:13
that's I feel like I've been to that
12:16
one post bull
12:18
winkle ization Yeah, because
12:20
this that's a kind of an interesting thing
12:22
about the brand is that they are The
12:26
remnants of them are around a lot.
12:28
It's not like they all closed and
12:31
just became you know orphanages
12:35
Melting facility. Yeah, mr. Beast's
12:38
ghost kitchen so many
12:40
of like you may especially in Southern,
12:42
California and kind of
12:44
south of Los Angeles if you see a
12:47
Mini golf course a batting cage these kinds
12:49
of things. It may well have been a
12:51
bullwinkle in the 80s and 90s Yeah,
12:54
I think what happened is that most of
12:56
them became boomers? Release
12:59
the one in upland, California became
13:01
boomers. Yeah The
13:04
chain where everything is themed like a CBS procedural
13:09
Everybody can buy a house for 30,000 bucks The
13:15
place where you can go to be incredibly cocky
13:17
about every decision you've ever made right? Yes the
13:19
place to go to be radicalized by YouTube Yeah,
13:24
and I but I guess what's happening in upland, California
13:26
now very exciting They
13:31
are transitioning from a boomers back to a
13:33
bullwinkle I was the upland
13:35
one and they are slowly adding in the bullwinkle theming. Wow. I
13:37
guess the community demanded it Wow Jeez.
13:42
Yeah, that's what I I feel like I think I
13:44
watched like a little local news report about that I
13:47
read an article and about how it's
13:49
always still bullwinkle It's
13:53
always still bullwinkles to them right they
13:55
can put this boomers brand this listeners
13:58
might have a boomers near you It's
14:00
kind of nothing compared to if
14:03
you grew up with those characters. You
14:05
see bullwinkles on a restaurant and you
14:08
have your associations with these characters, if not
14:10
him, and that whole world, and Peabody and
14:12
Sherman and Dudley Durett and all of that.
14:15
There's so many things that you're flashing to.
14:18
And then this oddly
14:20
generic bland boomers branding,
14:24
it's the Westfield of mini golf. Right, of
14:26
course. I don't know what it's... Jason,
14:30
I think you were saying before we started, it's
14:32
just mysterious. What does it mean? There's
14:36
never any justification. Who is Boomer,
14:38
you know? Going
14:40
through the website, like, oh, a
14:42
theme seems to be families enjoying
14:45
the golf. What? They're
14:47
nothing weird here. Not
14:50
enough. What is it? We're
14:52
all part of it. We're all experiencing... Boomer
14:54
should be a seal with the roller blades.
14:56
I don't know, something. Yeah, that's all it
14:58
would take. It could look like shit. It
15:00
could be the worst clipart graphic design ever.
15:03
Right. But give us a character.
15:05
We're simple men. Yeah. We
15:07
just want a dumb half-ass Sherman character. Or
15:09
an ostrich with a surfboard under his wing.
15:11
I don't know. Put
15:13
any animal in a navy outfit and
15:15
we're on board. It doesn't matter
15:17
what it is. Uh-huh. Yeah,
15:20
eye patch, peg leg. Yeah, yeah. Oh,
15:22
that's pirate. That's mythology. That's a backstory.
15:24
He had to get them from somewhere.
15:27
He had accidents somehow. Possum
15:29
scrubbing the deck. You
15:31
know, with a toothbrush. You're a mom. Okay.
15:34
That'd be great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Being punished by
15:37
Captain Boomer. What did he do? Did he mouth
15:39
off? Did he try to take
15:41
control of the ship? This is
15:43
great. It's like with very little... It's the possum,
15:45
but I don't recognize the mutiny. And now he's
15:47
peeling potatoes. Yeah, get that in there. I don't
15:49
care. Oh, children
15:51
like go-karts still. Yeah, fine. Fuck
15:53
off. Fuck off. Yes, but what
15:56
world are they existing in? What
15:58
is the mythology? uh...
16:00
uh... yeah it's it's it's bland it's
16:02
not that I never like any graphic
16:05
design I've ever seen from the Boomers
16:07
camp the facilities themselves sure I'll take
16:09
any family fun center these
16:11
have been a really nice part of uh...
16:14
having having a child and remembering that
16:16
like oh these are for children and
16:19
not you to go to and bitch
16:21
about lack of character yes yeah yeah
16:23
yeah oh that's right I'm watching sincere
16:25
smiles as I take a kid around
16:27
in our cake your tap selection losers
16:30
yeah I did go to the upland one that
16:32
is you know in betwixt the
16:34
Boomers betwixt the Boomers in a bullwinkle web
16:36
with a friend who brought his kids and
16:38
they had a blast they really had fun
16:40
no good um... so yeah I know the
16:42
power of these places you know they they
16:44
stick around for a reason kids love them
16:46
yeah yeah the I mean it's cool the
16:48
community specifically held on to the bullwinkles and
16:50
they would have meant something to them this
16:52
now your trip to the upland location is
16:55
no small feat because that's like an hour
16:57
from where you live correct something like that
16:59
yeah I'm a little calm you know I'm
17:01
in Alta Dina so I'm freeway close yeah
17:03
maybe 40 minutes so not a huge oh
17:05
okay yeah
17:07
not that but decently long did
17:09
you feel did
17:12
it feel like a little insane or a
17:14
little risky are you like what
17:16
am I do am I gonna go there and find something
17:19
a rinky-dink or not for me
17:21
was it I don't know was
17:23
there any worry in the transit
17:25
to bullwinkles follow far away Scott
17:28
tons worry I'm glad I just
17:30
say my my friend who came with me a Jesse
17:32
Thorn why co-host my pot hey you know if he
17:34
came and he brought his a broad wife and kids
17:36
everybody had a great time the
17:38
kids actually knew the bullwinkle characters and were
17:40
bummed that there wasn't more bullwinkles
17:43
yeah because it seems like hope from
17:45
what I'm sure generation yeah yeah that's well
17:47
that's not of wondered is like is
17:49
because I don't I guess I could see that
17:52
this started no hang on it doesn't
17:54
make sense I was gonna say I could see why
17:56
this started going away because the characters
17:58
were not really pasted future generations but
18:01
they made that movie. These started
18:03
going extinct in 2002 but that
18:06
movie where with weirdly Robert De
18:08
Niro as a character and wasn't
18:10
even one of the main characters. He's fearless leader.
18:13
The not the coded villain.
18:15
Ah, oh
18:17
that's why he did it. There's depth here.
18:20
There's like, you know, can I play a
18:22
likable villain? A challenge like any De Niro
18:24
role would have. There was a big resurgence
18:27
of all that stuff especially in the 90s
18:29
because it was everywhere and it was cool
18:32
I feel like to like it even too
18:34
but I feel like the movie is like
18:36
the nail in the coffin for its resurgence.
18:38
Maybe. That's like the pinnacle of like hey
18:40
we're it's gonna be here forever. They put
18:42
you close to the sun. Yes. I was
18:45
so excited. I think we went to see
18:47
that movie opening weekend and I was disappointed
18:50
by it because in
18:52
the 90s Rockin' Bullwinkle aired
18:54
on both Nickelodeon and Nick at
18:56
night. Yeah. That hadn't really happened
18:59
but it happened maybe once before
19:01
but like I just thought
19:03
that was so cool and I
19:06
loved those characters and then they show up at
19:08
Islands of Adventure. Well that's what I was gonna
19:10
say is like they were so popular that they
19:12
were like well Dudley Do-Right
19:14
is going to be the basis for one
19:16
of the big major rides here. Yes.
19:18
Top of the theme park in 1999 and we're putting
19:22
a lot in. Dudley Do-Right is going
19:24
to have its Splash Mountain here. Yeah.
19:26
It's pretty wild. Just before we get
19:28
too far away from the Rockin' Bullwinkle
19:30
movie, the writer of that film Kenneth
19:32
Lonergan who wrote Manchester by the Sea
19:34
and Gangs of
19:36
New York You Can Count on
19:38
Me. Wow. Yeah. Really? He's like
19:40
the sole credited screenwriter on that.
19:42
That's insane. You said his name
19:44
and I was like I know
19:47
that name. Yeah. I'm also like
19:49
okay your eye went to that.
19:51
I'm on the Wikipedia looking at
19:53
the cast which is Robert De
19:55
Niro, Renee Russo, Randy
19:58
Quaid who's Wild now
20:00
but was an Oscar nominee
20:02
that you know Billy Crystal,
20:05
Jonathan Winters, John Goodman, Janine
20:07
Garofalo, Padgett Brewster, Carl Reiner,
20:09
Whoopi Goldberg, James Rebhorn, great
20:11
character actor James Rebhorn, Keenan
20:14
and Kel are in it.
20:16
Wow. I didn't know that. Piper Parabas,
20:18
it's an insane kit. This
20:21
is a Robert De Niro, Billy
20:23
Crystal, John Goodman vehicle from the
20:26
writer of Manchester Budze that I
20:28
don't think I've ever heard anyone like.
20:30
Yeah, I've never heard a good opinion about this
20:33
movie. I mean I love the characters and I
20:35
still haven't seen the movie. I'm
20:37
more curious now having kind of been
20:39
boning up on Rocky and Bulldog. Has
20:41
anyone seen this movie? I haven't. The
20:44
1992 Boris and Natasha movie
20:47
starring Dave Thomas? This always confused
20:49
me. No. I would see
20:51
this VHS case and like huh? What are you talking
20:53
about? But it's not a cartoon? No, it's not a
20:55
cartoon. Boy, I haven't thought about
20:58
that probably since I was seven years old in the
21:00
video. Whoa.
21:02
Boris and Natasha movie. It's not
21:04
seemingly. Who's Natasha? Natasha is,
21:06
hold on, Sally Kellerman. Oh.
21:09
Oh my gosh. From MASH? Yes.
21:12
Yes, from MASH. Hot Lips from
21:15
MASH is Natasha. Andrea
21:17
Martin. Wait, John Travolta's in this film?
21:20
Andrea Martin, yeah. Andrea Martin. Oh my
21:22
God. Written
21:24
by Mr. Julia Louis-Dreyfus Brad Hall.
21:26
Wow, John Candy's in it. Wow.
21:30
So they're tapping into the SCTV like
21:32
the most quality group of people and
21:34
yet this did not come to,
21:37
well God, maybe this was just not meant
21:39
to, it was not
21:41
meant to be translated to any
21:43
even half live action maybe. This
21:45
feels like a movie that's a trick
21:48
for podcast, like I'm gonna like get
21:50
a copy from the library or find
21:52
it streaming on Amazon and a
21:54
big net will be put in some of the
21:56
seats like it's a trap. Somebody
21:58
trying to eliminate. podcasters around about the
22:01
like yeah i don't know a little bit
22:03
a dirt you said that okay so the
22:05
scheme is they planted a fake movie from
22:07
nineteen eighty-two about boris and attach which they
22:10
know you like yeah so they know okay
22:12
he any day now he's coming into the
22:14
library to stay in the not paying for
22:16
that movie he's going to have to have
22:18
a great i'm not doing that we are
22:21
a library guy i'm with you i have
22:23
i've got the dvd from the one up
22:25
and down at how great the burbank libraries
22:27
movie collection but also i'm looking it up
22:30
when it was your age huh we don't want to get
22:32
a great brand great for a great friend
22:34
i got a brother the other day oh well uh...
22:38
lu right now regularly
22:41
the election but how do you how
22:43
are they expected to have a wife
22:45
and i do have a lot of
22:48
blue race but i'm i pulled up
22:50
the just watch page which is how
22:52
my choice of finding where stuff is
22:54
streaming yeah and it really only available
22:56
to rent on amazon okay
22:59
interesting i don't like by the
23:01
way i don't think this is at the library
23:03
i mean this will really be the
23:06
test of the burbank library right as it i
23:08
just don't think this doesn't seem like one
23:10
that needs to be preserved to future generation
23:12
they don't have any vhs left at the
23:14
library i bet they did have it on
23:17
the chest that's a very good point well
23:19
i would say also get a lot from
23:21
the studios from lake universal water
23:23
but i think don't hate the okay
23:26
well i don't know if that's worth further
23:29
investigation jason will
23:31
maybe but i think it like
23:34
it speaks to like how beloved
23:36
the characters were all of these
23:38
people said yes to these things and we
23:41
have you mentioned the brendan fraser totally right
23:43
in george of the jungle movies these guys
23:45
are probably too worse as
23:47
well to forays and then
23:49
to like the life of rocky june
23:51
or a uh... to
23:53
his but this is i'm saying
23:55
to forays yet by brendan into
23:57
the crazy that's really strange was
24:00
everywhere. Did nobody thought that like, were
24:02
they like, no I think it helps. I think he
24:04
proved that he fits in the tone. Yeah. I
24:06
say do give him a second one. But they
24:09
were wrong right? Because Dudley Do-Right is not particularly
24:11
well regarded. I think people like Jersey the Jungle,
24:13
they don't really like Dudley Do-Right. Am
24:15
I wrong? That feels right. I don't feel like
24:17
anyone ever talks about Dudley Do-Right. I mean I'm
24:19
a Do-Right head so. Really? Yeah. So you know
24:22
you're asking the wrong guy, I love him, I
24:24
love my whiplash. Okay so you
24:26
do, yeah you are into those characters.
24:28
Yeah. And they were present at
24:31
the restaurant. Yeah absolutely. You got a snidely
24:34
whiplash when you come in, he's behind
24:36
bars, it's an amatronic. Yeah. He's like. Get
24:38
me out. Before the main show. That's
24:40
really nuts. That's so cool. You know I
24:42
was even stoked to see Tennessee Tuxedo
24:44
and Chumlee in the restaurant of the kid.
24:46
Oh yeah. Don Adams. Don Adams. Very exciting.
24:50
I was on a path of discovery. I
24:52
saw a website that was talking about Tennessee,
24:54
I already don't remember. I can't believe you've
24:56
been doing the show for this long and
24:58
this is the first time Tennessee Tuxedo and
25:00
Chumlee are coming up. You're here for PTR
25:02
history. Yeah. No, despite the
25:04
Don Adams note because they were in
25:07
the animatronic band in maybe just one
25:09
of the locations. And then
25:11
I'm like what's going, Chumlee, and because I've
25:13
never heard of Chumlee I'm like what?
25:15
Chumlee is a walrus with human hands?
25:18
What does that mean? Why? He
25:20
does the dumb guy voice. Oh I know
25:23
that. He's the. Oh I know Chumlee now
25:25
that you do that. Thank you. That was
25:27
very good. The moose from Archie. The duh,
25:29
I know you know. Yeah the ones like
25:31
a beanpole and the ones where you go
25:34
big, you know. Okay. The ones got a
25:36
hat. But they were not regularly in
25:38
the band. Because if we haven't said
25:41
this, it's an animatronic
25:43
band a la Chuckie Cheese, but
25:45
it's all of these
25:47
characters. Not necessarily the
25:50
whole J-Wardiverse all
25:53
playing instruments. All in like
25:55
it's kind of a folksy. I would
25:57
say that the vibe is this
25:59
like. Pacific Northwest
26:02
Yeah, you're lodge where like
26:04
totem poles would be in
26:06
play and that and
26:08
it's a very totem pole vibe on the
26:10
stage where right all the
26:12
locations had at least that bare
26:15
minimum rocky and bullwinkle animatronics
26:17
and One of
26:19
them's playing a jug and the other
26:22
ones playing a like a boxy wood
26:24
guitar, right? Bear
26:26
jamboree vibe. Yeah completely
26:28
the same vibe, but it's close.
26:30
It's a family Yeah, it kind of
26:32
a kind of a hee-haw structure. Yeah
26:34
the show, you know All right, a
26:36
little one-liner and now a song Yeah,
26:39
yeah kind of odd Billy. Yeah. Yeah,
26:41
so you at least got that it's
26:43
like if nothing else rocking But but winkle
26:45
on banjo rocky on like a fiddle
26:48
then maybe maybe the band is expanding
26:50
Depending on the ambition of the restaurant.
26:52
You might have underdog not said till
26:54
now on saxophone Boris
26:58
and Natasha factor in I love this
27:01
that Boris and Natasha are The
27:04
little the like masthead on the top.
27:06
It's great sort of like a little
27:08
totem pole So they are
27:10
represented in more of a carved in
27:12
wood fashion, right? but they do come
27:14
to life and interject and are
27:16
sort of the Statler
27:18
and Waldorf or maybe or more
27:20
the the Moose
27:23
and Buffalo on the wall. Yeah Max
27:26
and oh Melvin
27:29
Melvin. Yeah, there you go So,
27:32
you know, they're taking cues from the
27:34
way Disney is doing things but not
27:36
exactly one-to-one It's not not
27:39
a full ripoff But then I think
27:41
only in Santa Clara the first location.
27:43
Do you have Tennessee tuxedo
27:45
chumley? Hoppity hooper who
27:47
is a frog who plays the
27:49
harmonica and maybe more locations had
27:51
Tudor turtle on the drum Not
27:54
fully sure about full Tudor.
27:57
I'm so one had Dudley. Oh Oh,
28:00
and big thing I'm forgetting. Yes. Dudley
28:03
Durey is like the side
28:05
stage, like Big Al. And
28:07
they play Big Al, similar
28:10
beats to Big Al, where he's
28:12
like the one encountering problems. Where
28:15
his cue is wrong, or
28:18
they close the curtain on him on purpose.
28:21
They play into the Dudley bumbling.
28:25
But of course, Underdog has
28:27
this famous saxophone. Yes.
28:30
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
28:33
I don't know. I don't know. I don't
28:35
know. I don't know. And
28:39
this picture looks like he's like
28:41
smoking a damn bong. This picture.
28:44
Because it just looks
28:46
kind of strange. You
28:49
should be excited. This should be like, hell
28:52
yeah, hell yeah, brother. Yeah. Look,
28:54
dream-blunt rotation. And eat an underdog and
28:56
no one else. Underdog.
29:02
Chumlee. Chumlee and
29:04
Tennessee tuxedo kick-bong too.
29:07
And of course, his alter ego, Shusine Boy. Right.
29:10
That's right. Underdog alter ego. That
29:12
was Underdog Clark Kent. That was Clark Kent. Wow.
29:16
Yeah. I watched the first
29:18
Underdog short because I think one
29:20
thing about Bullwinkles, the audio of
29:22
this is strangely well preserved
29:24
on YouTube. Yeah. I
29:26
know. There are, you can
29:28
kind of listen to the sketches over stills
29:31
of the restaurant. Yes. And
29:33
yet, there's only some video of the animatronics. But
29:35
yeah, all this audio seems to have been uploaded.
29:38
And I had forgotten Underdog's voice.
29:40
I'm like, because I feel like
29:43
in the Bullwinkles audio, he sounds
29:45
very droopy dog. But
29:48
while he talks, the voice of Underdog did
29:50
not do droopy dog. It
29:53
was God's butler, right? No, no. That
29:56
was Huckleberry Hound. Sorry. God's
29:59
butler was Huckleberry Hound. I'm sorry,
30:01
I'll cut this out so you don't want to embarrass me. No, this
30:03
is the embarrassment. I know. Michael Spookley.
30:05
But yeah, it does seem like most of
30:07
the voice actors are doing their voices for
30:09
the restaurant, which is cool. It is Rocky
30:11
and Bullwinkle. Which I think they insisted on.
30:13
Let's get the real guy. Jordan,
30:15
when you were a kid, did you wear this fall
30:18
in sort of the hierarchy of robot restaurants? Was
30:20
this maybe your number one, or were you a Chucky guy? Oh,
30:23
I mean, Chucky was fine. We had a close Chucky. Yeah.
30:26
You know, I'm not anti-Chucky. Sure. This
30:28
was number one. This was a special trip. Yeah. This
30:31
was a good report card. This was like,
30:33
cousins are in town and we want to
30:35
show those cousins a good time. Okay. Yeah,
30:38
I love this. We probably only
30:40
went a handful of times, but when I was
30:42
maybe on the way to Vegas,
30:45
driving by Upland and
30:47
seeing from the freeway the coming
30:49
soon Bullwinkles, just a flood of
30:51
nostalgia. I'm like, oh my God,
30:53
Bullwinkles. And yeah, it was really
30:55
magical. I had to pull over and
30:58
go to sleep. Calm down. Just
31:00
calm down. Just calm down. Sleep it off.
31:02
Sleep it off through the nostalgia wave. Yeah,
31:04
and then watching ... So there's a lot
31:06
of corporate videos that are on YouTube for
31:09
this place. You can watch their kind of
31:11
pitch video and ... Taking
31:13
around the basics of the, yeah, see, Bullwinkles
31:15
location. Yeah, and I don't want
31:17
to live in the past. I know
31:19
nostalgia can be toxic, but watching the videos
31:22
of this place in the late 80s, I'm
31:25
like, look what they took from us. Beautiful.
31:28
Yep. The waitstaff were all
31:30
dressed like Mounties. I mean, it's gorgeous. Yeah. Well,
31:34
it's in that ... Because my
31:36
fuzzy baby brain first five years
31:38
of my life, I just remember
31:40
so much pleasant, calming brown. I
31:44
never went to a Bullwinkles, but anywhere
31:46
that I liked, anywhere that made me
31:48
feel really comfortable in the first years
31:50
of my life, had some calm brown
31:52
or perhaps bricks or those orange
31:56
or red bricks that malls used to have before
31:58
they kind of blandified all the malls. and
32:00
then like wood carved signs with complementary
32:03
colors to brown and kind of like
32:05
a in a reddish orange a fiery
32:07
orange and This place I just I'm
32:09
watching this I think the same corporate
32:12
video as you and like God,
32:14
I would have locked on to this play
32:16
like everything I was after in the late
32:19
80s this this had it all aesthetically Yeah,
32:21
such a bummer it is so is anything
32:23
close to that like pleasing wise now Is
32:25
it just fib from your baby brain or
32:27
do you think there is something to that?
32:29
I feel like there is but maybe it's just a
32:32
trick. I don't know if
32:34
there was anything inherent to the 280s
32:37
Brown. Yeah, but I it's
32:39
certainly something I'm fixated on it's
32:41
like, you know, it's the family
32:43
ties aesthetic And that's really what
32:46
I musically and visually and font
32:48
wise I chase it I
32:50
want them as much of that around as possible
32:52
sure But I don't
32:54
know if it actually is superior calm Most
32:56
a lot of people might see that kind
32:59
of thing and think like stodgy out of
33:01
jail grandma, but cigarette staining Yeah,
33:04
well, that's good. Yeah, you're right. That's what happened.
33:06
I'm sure there was smoking about it every boy
33:09
Always probably reeked a hundred said didn't even
33:11
bring it up in the video because bringing
33:13
it up makes it a thing It wasn't
33:15
a thing. You know, it's an establishment smoke
33:17
smoke smoke And yet there was a you
33:19
know, so there's the showroom for the kids
33:21
But there's also like what is it called?
33:23
It is called Dudley's den for the parents.
33:25
Yeah retreat to and it's a little more
33:27
calm What
33:29
if we kissed at Dudley's den The
33:33
meme goes I mean the Dudley's in is kind of
33:35
beautiful I bet you know, I bet a lot of
33:37
this was a lot of key parties got negotiated. Yeah
33:44
This was because this was the old Juggy cheese
33:46
as well they had the parents rooms right
33:48
and so that's what Dolly dimples would play The
33:51
divorce a hippopotamus right or the beach bows
33:53
or the beach bowser. So they did have
33:55
rooms for the parents I think those are
33:57
gone. I mean they're the rooms
33:59
exist But yeah, maybe yeah, they put more
34:01
games in them you boos thumbs down or whatever
34:04
But it doesn't feel like there's nothing in here
34:06
her mom and dad gonna go to connect I
34:08
have recently started showing my daughter Chuckie cheese videos
34:10
including the new ones Chuckie and me and my
34:12
friends and stuff and she does a little of
34:15
the dance and she Does munch and stuff and
34:17
it's very adorable and then we then I will
34:19
put on just gonna get into bowling for soup
34:21
Mike That's okay. It's
34:23
okay. You know if you don't think that's
34:25
what Mike's fishing for Another
34:30
guy who does Chuckie cheese now the
34:32
boy Jared red redic redic or something.
34:34
Yeah, don't ask us Mike Jerry But
34:42
then I do put on some of the old stuff see how
34:44
she responds to it and it's all it
34:46
is just for parents That is what's interesting
34:48
about it is the new stuff is like
34:50
oh you get a little funny little joke
34:52
once in a while But the old stuff
34:54
is just written for parents. Chuckie is smoking
34:56
a cigar. He's unnerving. He insults Jasper He
34:58
calls him like a dimwit or something. Yeah,
35:00
I'm joking. It's just like a bunch of
35:02
stuff. Yeah, we're gonna do a show Really
35:08
it actually isn't written like
35:10
Bullwinkle Bullwinkle has the clever
35:14
Yeah, but I guess I just mean it's that there's no gentleness
35:16
to be like what do kids like? it's
35:19
just adult characters like behaving badly
35:21
in front of children and that
35:23
like and then there's other rooms more
35:26
for parents not to Don't
35:29
that show that I'm talking about is for
35:31
everyone for the kids. There's a screening room
35:33
where they just would show the ice store
35:40
Dad can go and jack off with his buddies Could
35:44
go in the ball pit And
35:47
cry yeah, yeah, of course.
35:49
That's always They're
35:51
showing nudist documentaries at Chuckie Make
35:55
it some of the robots are naked back there What
35:58
I'd hope is I like when you
36:01
look. I want to show off.
36:04
Because we do our Chucky voice sometimes and he
36:06
is an insane caricature, but when watching this I'm
36:08
like, it's not that far off. He's
36:11
crazy. This cigar-smoking rat is
36:13
crazy. He's a crazy drunk
36:15
man. He's incredibly
36:17
lazy. So it's
36:19
funny though to just be like, oh yeah,
36:22
everything's too cater to children now. Not for
36:24
dinner. The problem today is... The problem is...
36:26
Put it back in the bowler and the
36:28
tux and tails. He wears They Do It
36:30
Together We Got It video with the new
36:32
puppets, which is one of the famous Chucky
36:34
songs together. You have any idea what that
36:36
says? That was rushed by They Do It
36:38
Together We Got It. So anyway... I'm using
36:41
context. Listen, I can use context clues.
36:45
I know. It's like they're big hit.
36:47
It's the big Chucky hit. I'm prepared to argue about
36:49
Goo Goo Dolls if it comes to it. Yeah, yeah.
36:52
The other We Got It is their black balloon. But
36:54
they do put the little puppet Chucky
36:57
in a little vest and bolt. They
36:59
do give you a little of the
37:01
old outfit, but it's not the full
37:03
cigar or whatever. Well, here, let's... We
37:07
need to discuss your specific visit more, Jordan, but
37:10
really, I figured this would be the episode to
37:12
talk about it. It is
37:14
relevant that my
37:16
little boy just turned four, and
37:20
we locked into, I think, the best
37:22
place to possibly do a birthday party,
37:24
which is the one Chucky Cheese that
37:26
kept the robot. Hey! Which is in
37:28
Northridge, California. It happens to be My
37:30
Childhood One, which is really strange that
37:32
that became the only one that kept the
37:35
robot. And could we have done it at
37:37
any much closer Chucky Cheese? More convenient to
37:39
more and more. You could have gone to
37:41
my Pasadena Chucky Cheese. Yes, there are so
37:44
many. But no,
37:46
we chose robots over convenience.
37:50
And no regrets about that, but here's
37:52
how this played out, is
37:54
that we get there. And
37:56
first of all, rope dropping a Chucky
37:58
Cheese is really something. thing where we're
38:00
arriving slightly before 10 a.m. when it
38:03
opens to which is the start of
38:05
our party and in doing so we
38:07
are watching the employees be dropped off
38:09
by their parents the employees who are
38:11
half our age checking in
38:13
for work and then the yes
38:15
the 17 year old maybe who's like the
38:17
party host who like okay so we've got
38:20
this and we could do lemonade for the
38:22
kids and here's the wristbands and is there
38:24
anything else you guys need and
38:26
and my wife's like no no
38:28
we're great everything's one of like actually
38:30
there is something there is something why is that
38:32
why is the curtain closed you
38:35
know we chose this one because it is the one with the with
38:38
the robots if you if you were just at some
38:40
point if you could open your curtains and it took
38:42
soul and she's like oh yeah sure
38:44
yeah yeah but it was I don't think it's
38:46
a request she's getting a lot right and
38:49
I don't think it was going
38:51
to naturally happen without me asking
38:53
for it so it did happen
38:56
me and my same-aged
38:58
friends all lit
39:01
up about it and no one else
39:03
the parents my parents didn't like it
39:05
their children did not like it the
39:07
music was so quiet the clacking was
39:09
twice as loud as the music and
39:12
then the curtain closed after one song
39:14
and it was clear that that was
39:16
all they were prepared to do then
39:18
I asked to do could we
39:20
do one more because there were some late
39:22
comers can we see a more more time
39:24
even less interest from the children this time
39:26
then Michael shows up late
39:28
we were late that baby's sleep schedule was
39:31
f'd up after she came back from San
39:33
Diego with Lindsay and so we were late
39:36
so Scott has says okay for the show
39:38
you have to ask for it and he
39:40
is polite enough to ask the 17 year
39:42
old for the third time in two hours
39:48
that's what I know and by
39:50
the way the greatest the most
39:52
friendly the most accommodating with all
39:54
of the things that mattered this
39:56
was the smoothest I by the
39:58
way recommend to parents Chuck
40:00
E. Cheese's birthday is great, the pizza got better,
40:04
it is a very well-run operation. The
40:06
only sticking point was that I think
40:08
we're the only psycho parents who've asked
40:10
to see these robots in the recent
40:12
past. So yeah, you get
40:14
there late enough that we're like, we're still there, but
40:16
we're clearing out and even the birthday boys losing patience.
40:18
And I'm like, are you eating pizza at 10 a.m.?
40:22
I did. Pizza and salad bar at 10
40:24
a.m.? Yeah, I didn't think I would, but then like, I
40:26
don't know, it's in front of me, and their pizza did
40:28
get better. Okay. I'm having 1045
40:30
pizza, why not? Being so late,
40:32
also, it's a stressful thing, because I'm like, Lindsay, you have
40:35
to remember this is the one with the robot, like I'm
40:37
explaining, like, does she
40:39
have to eat breakfast in the chair, or can
40:41
she eat it on the road? Like, there are
40:43
things I'm trying to get, like, let's toss a
40:46
go-gird in the car seat, and let's get up
40:48
there. Yeah, I'm like, I go, I go, oh,
40:51
oh, oh, north, I go, because they've
40:53
announced the Northridge is the only places they're actually having the
40:55
robots, so like, there's a whole thing going on there. It's
40:58
like, oh, well, it's really too late to go, I go, but I would
41:00
really like to see these robots.
41:02
Yeah, and also, in none of
41:04
this factors, my family or my
41:06
son, there's none of that
41:09
in your let's hurry. Oh, yes, no. Well, at that
41:11
point- This is about munch. Let's be clear, this is
41:13
about munch. Well, the reason it's not even coming into
41:15
it is because we were just like, they're going to
41:17
leave. Yes, yes. We want to
41:19
go to this, but they won't be there if we are this
41:21
late. So I'm like, yes, but you understand
41:24
the robots are there. The robots
41:26
are what we need to, even if
41:28
we show up and everyone is gone,
41:30
the robots will be there. We
41:32
can still watch the robots. Yes, alone. Yes.
41:35
Of course. So your daughter can
41:37
shift around and try to leave while you
41:39
watch the robots. Of course. Lindsay,
41:42
perhaps the same. Probably. She didn't
41:44
say that to be nice to me, but
41:47
probably. She
41:49
actually, the part of you who did go
41:51
back and fired up, it's just run on
41:53
a Windows XP machine
41:55
with a floppy disk drive. So
41:58
that's how long it took to get to- Yeah,
42:00
that's a 20 minute start-up and then she closed it
42:02
so it had to happen again. Yeah So Scott asks
42:04
ask the 17 year old and she said oh, yeah,
42:06
we'll do it. We'll do she goes back there Did
42:08
you ask twice or once? I
42:10
think I did once and then I said we
42:12
gotta go if you want it You gotta ask
42:15
and I actually don't know how things played out
42:17
for you And that's why I'm bringing it up
42:19
on the show. So what happened is yes again
42:21
We were so late everybody left and we were
42:23
at Tucky cheese in Northridge, which is not the
42:25
quickest place to go to no So
42:28
I was like, well, we're here we let's enjoy it So
42:31
I asked her again. I said, oh, excuse me.
42:34
Is there any way? We could
42:36
see the robot she goes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, I
42:38
forgot. I'll check on her She said something like that
42:40
and I go, okay, so we're like lingering and then
42:42
like Our
42:44
my daughter wants to go do other things she doesn't want
42:46
to sit by these tables She wants to go investigate where
42:48
all the other kids are and I'm
42:50
just like what I'm like But we're gonna miss
42:52
the show if it starts gonna start any minute.
42:54
Yep, so we're lingering too long I see
42:57
her one more time and I
42:59
ask again and she says sort of the similar
43:01
like a similar thing and At
43:04
that point I go this is not
43:06
happening. We are not seeing
43:08
the show So we're like walking around like
43:10
through the games and and and my daughter's
43:13
climbing on things and doing stuff or whatever
43:15
I'm just keep my eye on it. I'm
43:17
like showing happening. It's not happen. Listen
43:19
for clacking just have your have your
43:21
ears open for clacking of Opening
43:24
and closing Lindsay is like, yeah She's
43:28
like you want to ask again? I go. I'm not asking the
43:30
17 year old again I'm
43:32
too old to be asking
43:34
again. That's okay. This is our punishment
43:38
for being late, so you Disappointed
43:42
the child at a ball. Not only did I
43:44
leave the chicken cheese disappointed But I am 85%
43:47
sure that this Chuck E cheese gave my
43:50
daughter her first awful cold
43:52
of her no no Oh,
43:55
no, no, no, she's fine now.
43:57
No, it was bound to happen
44:00
Because we don't do it. She's been sick. Oh
44:02
no Mike. No look I would I would only
44:04
say it out Mike because it's funny for the
44:06
audience I would not have put it out. It's
44:09
not you know you're not I know you're not
44:11
I know you're not all day Don't look she's
44:13
got to go indoors someday right we stay out
44:15
a lot. We don't do a tongue with her
44:17
She's had a little mini cold, but this was
44:19
a fucking cold Well,
44:22
we have now looted back around yet. I'm
44:24
kind of cold you can only get from
44:26
a ball pit right oh Funny that the
44:28
chunky cheese is likely the culprit Less
44:31
than an hour well we go Mike well.
44:33
I'm sorry. No no apology. I'm sorry for
44:35
being so late We have now yeah, you
44:37
should have been there in the hour when
44:39
there wasn't cold going around all of the
44:41
11 o'clock hour children We're fine. It would
44:43
be yeah, of course um yes one of
44:45
those nooners showed up and coughed all over
44:47
your daughter We have now
44:49
looped around to why at least
44:52
my parents did not like places like
44:54
this It was actually funny being the
44:56
cause of my parents going back for
44:58
the first time in 35 years And
45:02
they were like They
45:04
were like shuddering at it. Yeah, you guys know
45:06
okay? Well now you were saying about the bull
45:08
uncles Jordan that this was a family like no
45:10
We like it This is a yeah I
45:13
wonder if I wish to ask my mom how
45:15
she felt about our trips to bullwinkles if she
45:17
would be like oh yeah I fucking hated that
45:19
place, but yeah to me It's a fun family
45:21
memory, and I think yeah, I don't remember any
45:23
like bullwinkles meltdowns or anything like that okay I
45:25
think we had a good. I think we had
45:27
a good time well. Here's I think what might
45:29
be Here this
45:31
might be the theory because I think we've already
45:34
discussed something that might be more quality about
45:36
bullwinkles that then Chuckie cheese But
45:40
when I brought it up last night
45:42
the consensus was Actually
45:45
good food and actually good animatronics. Yeah, there was
45:47
a sense of like it's a little it was
45:49
actually a more Little more Disney level do you
45:51
agree with that yeah? I mean I think that
45:53
the when you know you get to see the
45:56
menus in those corporate videos And you know not
45:58
just pizza, but deep dish and thin Crust
46:00
salad bar that themed after
46:02
Dudley D Wright's girlfriend. What
46:04
was her name? No, now
46:06
get the salad bar. And
46:10
they also say that the the salad bar
46:12
has Mucillainous dressing which
46:15
is a good pun, but it sounds disgusting
46:17
like you know what's in the dressing
46:19
though, right? It's not I Get
46:22
about as different liquids that were in this facility
46:24
to begin with Thousand
46:27
Island French and like Catalina
46:31
whatever Yeah
46:35
creamy Italian creamy it's the 90s were
46:37
a big of its big decades Nearly
46:40
empty bottle of oil and
46:42
red wine vinegar. That's their
46:44
kind of That
46:48
same video goes right into a breakdown of
46:50
the pizzas which I have queued up
46:52
right now This is well, it
46:54
wait it might announce itself. Let's see I
46:56
don't know if they mentioned the heroic sandwiches.
46:58
It must be do rights. I Don't
47:02
know. Let me think the underdog has the
47:04
sandwich. Oh, you're right. Yes. Yeah hard to
47:06
read be a right under dogs Are like
47:08
sandwiches and then this little pizza explanation just
47:11
to keep an ear out Specials
47:19
are appropriately named motherload pizza
47:21
garden cash pizza and our unique
47:23
pizza of the sea We
47:25
need to talk for a minute about and I'll make
47:27
it bigger for you guys to look at strange
47:30
phrases to begin with Motherload,
47:32
okay, you know tons of toppings
47:34
I get that Garden
47:37
cash I got nothing on this. I
47:39
don't know what garden Ewe
47:42
should say the computer cash. Yeah, right.
47:44
What does that mean? I
47:47
think a cash is like it's like it's
47:49
like a stash. Yeah a stash of like
47:52
That's all the vegetable. Yeah Like
47:55
mother it just implies a lot. That's what
47:57
they're saying. So yeah garden cash. I just
47:59
I only think of that in computer terms
48:01
and then put next to garden, electronics
48:04
and garden jammed together. Well, cash is
48:06
cash a? I mean, I
48:08
think about like when they talk about, oh, I found
48:11
a weapons cash. Yeah, I mean that's an RPG term
48:13
or something. And I think it just seems to be
48:15
like a school writer or something. That's like going golden
48:17
eye or something. Yeah, it's like
48:19
health and ammo and armor.
48:21
And vegetables. And vegetables.
48:24
Well, a garden cash could be in one of
48:26
those ET Botanicus video games where you have to
48:28
like put fertilizer and soil. Is that in
48:31
the corporate video? Yeah. What
48:33
is the title of that? Oh, yeah,
48:35
I'll recommend it to listeners. Bullwinkle's Family
48:37
Food and Fun Restaurant Tour, Santa Clara,
48:40
California. Yeah. Which,
48:42
well, I'll say my Santa Clara thoughts. But
48:44
just to go straight into the next one,
48:46
which is Pizza of the Sea. This
48:49
is the most nauseating looking
48:51
pizza. Up until I
48:53
trust everybody that this pizza was
48:55
pretty good in general. But looking
48:57
at this pizza with little canned
49:00
shrimp all over it. The pinkest
49:02
shrimp you've ever seen. Oh,
49:04
no, no, no. The pinkest,
49:06
tiniest. No, little nubbins. Oh, nubbins.
49:10
Like, maybe somewhere
49:12
today could pull off little
49:14
shrimps. I just don't trust
49:17
this. 1980s
49:19
canned shrimp pizza. I'm concerned. You and
49:21
I shared a fishy pizza a few
49:23
days ago, Scott. Oh, sure. But
49:26
if they had little, and they had capers as
49:28
well. What
49:30
if they had little shrimps on that pizza, though? You
49:32
think the little shrimp is the problem? They'd be fine
49:34
there. Yeah, that was a good place. But
49:37
little, I'm just, you're saying that the, you
49:40
can't imagine little shrimps being good in the 80s. I
49:42
feel like I've watched Mike eat a pizza with
49:45
little shrimps. But again, today,
49:47
as long as, if it's anywhere but
49:49
City Walk, fine. Have at it, Mike.
49:51
But. What's the place on
49:53
Sunset that has that? Is that what I've
49:55
had? tuna pizza at that place. We were
49:57
at an Italian restaurant in Manhattan. And
50:00
I remember you just getting like a
50:02
tuna pizza and it's forever stuck in
50:04
Manhattan. Isn't Manhattan in a salad? How
50:07
would it sit in a way like this if
50:09
we were constantly in Manhattan together? One day in
50:12
Manhattan. We were a couple times. Only once or
50:14
twice, yeah. That's why
50:16
it sticks out in my mind. Well, what was
50:18
that establishment in Manhattan? I don't remember. All right,
50:20
Jimmy Buffett's Mercuritaville. Ha ha ha ha ha ha
50:22
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
50:24
ha ha ha ha ha. Anyway,
50:26
I'm just, I just don't, the
50:29
people said the food was good. I
50:31
do, but that has to be where the,
50:33
I'm only doing cheese there. I'm not doing
50:35
pizza at the sea. I'm out on pizza
50:37
at the sea. Yeah, I think I remember
50:40
the fried chicken. And it's just the waffle
50:42
fries to me were a big memory. That
50:44
was a big revelation to me. I had
50:46
never seen that form factor of fry before.
50:48
Yeah, yeah. But yeah, and I think, yeah,
50:50
maybe the fried chicken looks kind of good
50:52
in those videos. It does, yeah. Yeah, I
50:54
don't know. I'm very brown, you know, it's
50:56
a very, it's a brown meal. The
51:00
more legitimate way that they used to do, I
51:02
feel like fried chicken was generally done with
51:04
more care in the 70s and 80s, but
51:06
it could be wrong. I feel like the
51:09
affection people have is probably does indicate maybe
51:11
the food was a tier above a Chuck
51:13
E. Cheese. I think so.
51:15
I don't think it's pure, because even if
51:17
it, sure, nostalgia could be blinding you to
51:19
it, but it's people who remember that the
51:22
Chuck E. Cheese food was shitty. Right,
51:24
yeah. And that this was better. I have to
51:26
quickly share a not so
51:28
good association about that very same one,
51:31
the Anaheim one, which was shared to
51:33
me last night by
51:35
our pal Ryan Perez. Okay. Yeah,
51:38
we grew up in the same, Ryan and I have
51:40
a lot, we're the same age and grew up in
51:43
Orange County. We have a lot of shared memories. I
51:45
don't think we knew each other as kids, but we
51:47
have the same movie theaters, a lot of the same
51:49
malls and stuff. So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if
51:51
Ryan had been to the same one. Yeah, yeah, no,
51:53
it's kind of surprising. He had fond, but with those
51:56
memories too, but except for, I think, well, I think
51:58
he had been to the Anaheim one. They
52:00
had a fun time. Then he was
52:02
10 years old. They
52:05
went to a softball game
52:08
for his older sister, and
52:10
she got a terrible injury during the game,
52:13
and they had to go straight to an
52:15
Anaheim hospital. And in the window, there was
52:17
a perfect view of the bowling goal. Oh
52:19
my god. And he is 10 years old,
52:22
and not only is he pining for, well,
52:24
I'd rather be there than here. He's like,
52:28
he doesn't understand the stakes. He doesn't know hospitals
52:30
and what's happening at this point. He's like, get
52:32
a cast on the arm and let's get over
52:34
to bowling. Yeah, yeah. Well, I thought it was
52:37
more of that vibe, but instead it was that
52:39
his concern for his sister was so heavy. He's
52:41
like, we're in a hospital. That means she's gonna
52:43
die. I'm gonna lose my sister today, which
52:46
did not happen, spoiler, but he's in
52:49
this room sadly looking at the window
52:51
and once my family was happy, we
52:53
had bowl-winkles, and now we are here
52:55
at Death's Door. We will
52:58
not all leave together as a
53:00
family. This is a very, very
53:02
haunting memory. In a sense of
53:04
childhood. And now he's on the
53:06
threshold. As he passed into double
53:08
digit age, this leaving
53:10
childish thing is gone. Yeah, isn't
53:13
that a beautiful, sad little memory?
53:15
And I do picture, in
53:17
the way he painted it, there's nothing in
53:20
that window view except for that bowl-winkles. Not
53:23
one other street light or
53:25
gas station frolicking with their
53:27
alive sibling. Fun because she didn't
53:29
die. I
53:34
love you sister. I love that you're
53:36
alive mainly, yes. Anyway,
53:40
yeah, such a poignant little picture.
53:43
That Anaheim Zone seemed, it is exceedingly close
53:46
to the fries where I got to have
53:48
that video played for a couple days before
53:50
it was closed. So
53:52
I'm looking at that and what you guys experienced
53:54
is a kid like, oh man, I wish that
53:56
had been my go-to childhood place. I'm also looking
53:58
at the Santa Clara location. Because Santa
54:01
Clara is the same neck of the woods as
54:04
San Jose, Campbell, where I have this,
54:06
I've had now two deliriously fun trips.
54:08
The one initially inspired by wanting to
54:11
go to a car wash that looks
54:13
like an old riverboat. And
54:15
then I went back and had an equally
54:17
fun time with my family at the world's
54:19
largest Chuck E. Cheese, which is up there.
54:21
And I'm like, this area had the theme
54:23
park, Great America, when it was good.
54:27
They had the world's largest Chuck E. Cheese. This
54:29
one, and then at the same, the primary,
54:33
the world's first Bullwinkle, the one from
54:35
the video, which looks pristine and awesome.
54:37
And then at the same intersection, there
54:39
was one of those places called,
54:42
this one was called Pizza and Pipes.
54:44
We ever talked on the show about
54:47
the... Yeah, I've never, yes, I
54:49
know a lot of people who have very fond
54:51
memories of Pizza and Pipes, the pipe organ themed
54:53
pizza restaurant. Where you would go, yes, before animatronics.
54:55
I can't believe you don't know about this. I
54:57
would have assumed you have a depth of knowledge
54:59
about it. I thought this would have been like
55:01
the tunnel. I thought you meant pipes like tunnels.
55:03
No. Like what was the
55:05
one that got absorbed by Discovery Zone? Oh,
55:08
oh, oh. Leaps and bounds? Leaps and
55:10
bounds. Okay. Yeah, that's the pipe
55:12
I was picturing. Another pressured Schomburg thing. Yeah, we
55:14
had Leaps and Bounds. We had Discovery Zone. We
55:16
had Discovery Zone. And Discovery Zone. And
55:19
a Mickey Cafe or whatever. Yeah, Mickey
55:21
Cafe. No,
55:24
Pizza or Pipes and Pizza
55:28
was like, this is the
55:30
precursor. Before they figured out
55:32
animatronics, your pizza entertainment was
55:34
watching a guy play a
55:36
the mighty Wurlitzer organ. A
55:38
giant Wurlitzer that would have
55:40
scored silent films. And
55:42
these are still around a little bit. I'm
55:44
so intrigued by this concept and that they
55:46
do still exist. Where's the nearest one? I
55:49
don't know. I think there's one
55:51
in the Three counties surrounding
55:53
us, but I don't know for sure. I
55:56
Think this is a tradition people have tried
55:58
to keep up. That
56:00
legal Oregon feel so stodgy put
56:02
next to pizza which feels like
56:04
what. Do you. Know riots in a
56:06
yeah Id want as you know pizza
56:09
and live or sorry pipes and liver
56:11
or of hype said crab. And
56:14
Pancetta live sound and as have
56:16
gate article about eight is was
56:18
a full may have some point
56:20
cap in. The. Cap in the
56:22
Galley Pizza and played. It. Might
56:24
be a different one in their my eyes I
56:26
like there are a number of these. I don't
56:29
think it is one saying that any kind of
56:31
early as could afford the mighty Wurlitzer at work.
56:34
For a baseball games will play dub
56:36
Jason are you are the Phantom of
56:39
the Opera that haunted the Pacific Air
56:41
and needs to be said by a
56:43
man. Play cool dark never loved his
56:46
spot. Less than an assessment is swinging
56:48
in the rafters. visit their homes. I'm
56:50
sorry pizza would fall into one of
56:52
the pipe. Well the earth. Dot Com.
56:55
Remember that dining sad and peeps Elizabeth
56:57
I feel like Emma Are these the
56:59
last moments of my life Says this
57:02
is like a funny guy. glycine that
57:04
I am a man. My breed of
57:06
funny gags tell you. The reply: So
57:09
busy son played for for this guy.
57:12
You're on an operating you got hit by
57:14
a car of now versus you're on the
57:16
operating table. he said Wurlitzer. That's pretty funny,
57:18
the sillier or semitism. and you go to
57:20
the library to learn more about it and
57:22
somebody catches you with a big mess. a
57:24
sudden said i work as he got a
57:27
test is of as well and i have
57:29
another was that god has has he was
57:31
at all around guys what his death but
57:34
god will bless us as about a set.
57:38
aside pets of resolve to women
57:40
are that of the dare i
57:42
say that a non lethal weapon
57:44
on success say that i had
57:47
a real that leaves a good
57:49
as a great me i can
57:51
play a couple times or your
57:53
oh that's with a box cutter
57:55
have no matter what a dirty
57:57
death of god it's so he
57:59
does There
58:04
feels like there's all these different historians for
58:06
the different places. Chuck E. Cheese stuff is
58:08
pretty well documented. You can get sound files
58:11
with all the characters. This is
58:13
pretty well documented. I wish there was one
58:15
person that literally was like, I will tell
58:17
you all the different places in America you
58:19
can go right now. There's
58:22
an organ show. There's a robot
58:24
still working. I want this
58:26
comprehensive list of everything that's still there.
58:28
A map or a geocities site that's
58:30
just ridiculously maintained. Sure. It
58:32
does not have to look fancy. I guess there is one Bullwinkle
58:36
that still has some of the animatronics.
58:38
It's in Seattle. There's a haunted
58:40
looking man that does a tour of it on
58:42
YouTube. It's
58:47
in the pizza room and it's just Rocky and
58:49
Bullwinkle and then a Boris and Natasha above them.
58:55
They're old. The clacking is deafening. You
58:57
cannot hear what they're saying because it's all clacking
58:59
when they blink. Also
59:01
he had to make a point of like, can
59:04
you turn this on for me? Let's go into
59:06
our experience. Watch this video. Absolutely. You
59:08
can see a frustrated stoned teenager having
59:10
to cater to the people. It's happening
59:12
again. One of those weirdos is here.
59:15
Like if it's turned a big crank for a while or
59:17
something. It feels hard. It feels
59:19
like there's a reason they don't want to
59:21
do it. The restaurant was closed that day
59:23
too. The Family Fun Center in
59:25
the snack bar. He says in the video the
59:28
restaurant was closed but they're going to open the
59:30
show. They had to open up
59:32
an entire area. Now look, not to get back into
59:34
it. If you're going to tell
59:36
me that this is where the residency is
59:38
happening for a bunch of make believe bands,
59:41
I just couldn't believe it. Why close the
59:43
curtain? As we all
59:45
know, the Chuck E. Cheese tradition is
59:47
you leave them all just creepily blinking
59:49
and shifting back and forth. No matter
59:51
what. All day, every day. Yeah. That's
59:54
true. Frozen and rigor mortis. No. If
59:57
one loses an eyeball, that's it. There's no replacements
59:59
for that. That five nights at Freddy's
1:00:01
was the big it. I would.
1:00:04
If wilde half hour movie product
1:00:06
of fake it's think these places
1:00:08
will be having a resurgence because
1:00:10
of. That. You would think that they would.
1:00:12
Be. Returning Robot Yes right I don't know. I
1:00:14
think it's the only thing that saved the
1:00:16
one and still not for they still seem
1:00:19
ashamed by ear. they put know where I
1:00:21
was actually expecting a little more of something
1:00:23
like oh it's think that showcasing the fact
1:00:25
that they have the robot but it is
1:00:27
like don't ask us about what's by the
1:00:29
curse may I present time? I'm just glad
1:00:31
they took out the robots before they made
1:00:33
them woke rights. As
1:00:36
I can handle a low gravity and bullwinkle,
1:00:38

1:00:49
good fit. Drop a hard are

1:02:01
a Kristen Wiig movie. Yeah, you can take
1:02:03
that to Kristen Wiig's production company. So
1:02:06
you're an old organist. I've got four
1:02:08
words for you. Sweet woman
1:02:10

1:02:12

1:02:15
Kristen. Yeah. It's got
1:02:17
a big Plum Beach look like, or
1:02:19
Pomeroy out look like kids play. I
1:02:22
got, yeah, 1970s pizza and pipes
1:02:24
here. Bay Area pizza chain. Wow,
1:02:27
this is wild. I can't believe we had pizza and
1:02:29
pipes either. I assumed we had talked about it. We
1:02:31
maybe did. I have to forget some things we talked
1:02:33
about, so it's possible I forgot. Mm-hmm, yeah. Once in
1:02:35
a while. 70s and 80s craze
1:02:38
in this Bloomberg story. Yeah, it seems like pipes
1:02:40
and pizza and pipes and pipes. Before predating the
1:02:42
robot technology. They say craze too, as if it
1:02:44
was like the nation couldn't stop enjoying
1:02:46
pizza and pipes. Seems like everyone is driving
1:02:48
to places where pipes are. I think you
1:02:51
were like a whirlitzer player. You like cursed
1:02:53
the robot. You're like, oh, this is, oh,
1:02:55
so this is what people want. Okay. They're
1:02:58
not playing live. You realize that? Look
1:03:01
at their hands. Their hands don't even touch the
1:03:03
instrument. No. Oh, you like
1:03:05
all these rock and roll songs. No one wants
1:03:07
to hear Camp Town Races anymore. Classic. No
1:03:09
one wants to hear Buffalo Gal. Well, that's, this
1:03:12
station says this every episode. I'd say this, yeah.
1:03:15
That's what music was real before. The
1:03:17
guy wearing Sinatra. The
1:03:20
Oregon man got fired from the Cincinnati
1:03:22
Reds. He got fired from pipes and
1:03:24
pizza. Where in Moscow there's
1:03:26
only so many minor league teams that I've got
1:03:28
to afford in Oregon. Yeah, the
1:03:30
world going woke to Jason equals less pipe Oregon.
1:03:32
Who lets do Oregon? Around every turn. Let's
1:03:34
say you're at the indoors and less pipe
1:03:36
Oregon. Those were the days. When
1:03:40
you could say the hard R anytime you wanted
1:03:42
to, listen to Little Brown Jug. Just
1:03:46
like the star spangled banner. But we
1:03:48
all stand in salutes and then go
1:03:50
back to our pizza bites. I've
1:03:53
said this before, I've said it about, I think Pirates of the
1:03:55
Caribbean, I've said it about Wampoppers. I would pay $100 to $200
1:03:57
to smoke a cigarette. unlike
1:04:00
pirates while it's going or a mom poppers does
1:04:02
everybody have a dream place they would smoke a
1:04:04
cigarette if they could go back in time that
1:04:07
would be a little bit on my mind but
1:04:09
i have of course it's just because it's right
1:04:11
in front of me but what what's the deadly
1:04:13
room again that the world and i really didn't
1:04:15
know yeah yeah i'm gonna have not say that

1:04:36
four that was her california regulations
1:04:39
i would say my hotel or
1:04:41
my apartment building balcony yeah okay
1:04:43
that's fun but is there any
1:04:45
robots yeah the the
1:04:48
robots at the seattle location
1:04:50
that you can see in this youtube tour yeah
1:04:53
i don't know where the Natasha came from but they
1:04:58
someone said let's have something for dad uh-huh
1:05:01
I see assuming that dad loves
1:05:04
giant tits because this is Natasha
1:05:06
that they have is out of
1:05:08
control he's a boozamy like it
1:05:11
just might be a repainted alvira
1:05:13
like and bullwinkle's package to boy
1:05:15
you could tell he's got like
1:05:18
a half chub as
1:05:21
long as his nose yes the
1:05:23
exact same shape but in his
1:05:25
pants right hey boy I didn't
1:05:28
know you had three legs oh
1:05:31
boy we're stupid and
1:05:34
hung that's why I never
1:05:36
wear short rock no need for me
1:05:38
to learn anything my
1:05:40
value to the world I have an eating pussy in my
1:05:43
life don't have to
1:05:45
learn it's the only way
1:05:47
some women can come which had a better
1:05:53
rocky pretty good pretty good picture
1:05:57
up in post that's what you know what they will do it
1:06:00
with Bullwinkle too. Yeah people you can
1:06:02
like kind of understand the vibe. You
1:06:04
have the character down. Thank you yeah.
1:06:06
Yeah. Of the audiophiles we've talked about
1:06:09
I think my my favorite which
1:06:11
is I saw
1:06:13
it uh named just
1:06:15
answer what the song the chorus is
1:06:18
a song Underdog sings called Country
1:06:20
is Dumb. Did
1:06:23
anyone watch this? You were telling me about this
1:06:25
already yeah. I Underdog sings
1:06:27
a song Country is
1:06:29
he's like mad they
1:06:31
play too much Country music.
1:06:33
Like as a band because
1:06:35
there's no chance for him
1:06:37
to play his saxophone. That's
1:06:40
pretty clever. So that's kind
1:06:42
of clever yeah um but yeah watching
1:06:44
the old Underdog cartoons I was like
1:06:46
man yeah he he really
1:06:48
does sound like droopy dog and
1:06:50
like the switch from Shushan boy
1:06:52
to Underdog I thought
1:06:55
like oh but he sounds like Superman
1:06:57
right no it is
1:06:59
slightly pitched down um
1:07:02
but yeah Country is Dumb. Uh Underdog
1:07:04
is mad at Country music because there's
1:07:07
not enough saxophone. It's a good little
1:07:09
it's a very good little routine for
1:07:11
him yeah yeah that's good yeah um
1:07:14
yeah I don't know I mean I didn't dive
1:07:16
too much into the show scene I just know
1:07:18
that like the animatronics do seem
1:07:21
of higher quality uh
1:07:23
seems like those ones are are clacking
1:07:25
around and I'm not saying that just
1:07:28
because of that Natasha revelation I think
1:07:30
overall sure even forgetting that um
1:07:32
no these bull wrinkles are so charming
1:07:35
I don't know just and
1:07:38
then they seem like I don't know range of
1:07:40
motion they look just like the cartoons yeah they
1:07:42
look cartoon-y. It's not the scare factor that the
1:07:44
Chuck E Cheese ones admittedly even still like Chuck
1:07:47
E Cheese now is very I don't want to
1:07:49
it's not like an Apple store aesthetic or anything
1:07:51
but it is very much a cleaner very
1:07:53
bright like establishment but I do
1:07:55
feel like it's always there's always
1:07:57
been a weird vibe and it's
1:08:00
Chuck E. Cheese. Like they've never matched any
1:08:02
sort of like Disney feeling going into this
1:08:04
place. Which is what they kind of want.
1:08:07
Yes. It's like always was like dim
1:08:09
and weird and it smelled like diapers
1:08:11
and pizza and like it still kind
1:08:13
of smells like diapers and pizza. They
1:08:16
have like, you
1:08:18
know, when you start Pirates of
1:08:20
the Caribbean there's the like cricket
1:08:22
noises. I think those are getting
1:08:24
piped through bullwinkles when the band's
1:08:27
not on. You have the chirping
1:08:29
cricket atmosphere. From the pictures and just
1:08:31
a little of the audio. Yeah, you just get the
1:08:33
sense that like whether dad or
1:08:35
mom can articulate it they feel like
1:08:37
this is a higher
1:08:39
end establishment. Yeah. It's just such
1:08:42
a massive build. I
1:08:44
don't know if they all were and I
1:08:46
don't know if Anaheim was but like the
1:08:48
Santa Clara one they show because the Northridge
1:08:50
Chuck E. Cheese that I brought you to
1:08:52
that is just like a, you know, that's
1:08:55
I feel like someday it's just going to be a
1:08:57
Verizon store. That is not like the biggest. It looks
1:08:59
like nothing. Low ceilings, very tric. This thing is like.
1:09:01
Do you know why they picked that one to house
1:09:03
the robots, the last robots? I don't. I don't actually.
1:09:05
It was among the first, maybe they
1:09:07
made the calculation that like LA
1:09:09
hipsters are going to be the most likely to want
1:09:12
to go to a but I don't actually know. But
1:09:14
isn't it basically that they just had been decommissioning these
1:09:16
things for years and years and that was one of
1:09:18
the only places left and they just decided maybe. There
1:09:20
were more than you'd think. But I think they had,
1:09:23
they were about to start getting rid of and there
1:09:25
might be stray ones where they haven't installed them. I
1:09:27
think there are stray ones. Okay. But in my mind
1:09:29
and maybe this is wrong, they just looked at a
1:09:31
list of 10 places that still had the
1:09:33
full ban and went, uh, they'll say Northridge gets
1:09:36
to keep them arbitrarily. Maybe.
1:09:38
I'm sure there's some reasoning. But.
1:09:40
Close their eyes, find it on a map. Yeah.
1:09:42
It doesn't feel like. Where do our neighbors not
1:09:44
mind clacking? Yeah. I'm
1:09:46
fascinated Chuck E. Cheese is still in business. It
1:09:49
must be some real estate scam or something. Like it
1:09:51
must be like, well, they own the
1:09:53
buildings or something, but they are like, it
1:09:55
is working for, no, it does, you know,
1:09:58
they figured out what they want now. Like
1:10:00
my child has a good time
1:10:02
despite not knowing any mythology and
1:10:04
not writing layers upon layers of
1:10:06
bizarre Maybe
1:10:09
not natural affinity for half-thought-out
1:10:11
mythology. Uh-huh. Yeah, just he
1:10:13
likes to play basketball in
1:10:15
there Imagine that yeah
1:10:18
family fun centers. I think
1:10:20
are still money makers Yeah,
1:10:22
it's like a place that should have gone
1:10:25
out like the pandemic should have taken it
1:10:27
down It feels like just something should have
1:10:29
taken this down. But I think well there
1:10:31
could be no I feel like JC Penney's
1:10:33
is having I saw them having money trouble
1:10:35
or Do
1:10:38
I think JC Penney's in trouble? No. No
1:10:40
what I'm saying is there might be another
1:10:42
wave of bankruptcies I feel like oh, I
1:10:44
don't know the other way block if that's
1:10:46
what yeah, if Biden gets reelected. Yeah First
1:10:51
Penney's is gone. What do you wear and
1:10:53
then gonna buy sex? That's
1:10:57
in quarter zip. Well, the years is already back
1:10:59
at the mall in the Burbank. So Here's
1:11:03
back we've talked about it before we'll do it
1:11:05
quick Sears there's a Sears that
1:11:07
all of a sudden is reopened in Burbank wild
1:11:09
and oh, yes What a great thing to happen
1:11:11
to everybody in there about it. They don't know
1:11:13
they don't know why it opened again I don't
1:11:15
know why I work here Where they called Sears
1:11:17
and said why did you open the store again?
1:11:19
And they said we don't really want to talk
1:11:21
about it Wow, like maybe it's soft launch for
1:11:23
an all-new Sears I was the basic
1:11:25
answer might just be like we kind of like
1:11:27
paid for rent or we own the part of
1:11:29
the bill I don't know and it's just not
1:11:31
it's like we'll make a few
1:11:33
dollars opening it, huh So it's just it
1:11:36
has its own free will now it opened
1:11:38
itself back. It's possible this year's open itself
1:11:40
back up but over here Yeah over in
1:11:42
Burbank. Yes, the Sears just opened one day
1:11:44
again after being closed. That's why that's wild
1:11:46
Yeah, so anything can anything can come back
1:11:49
stay on your toes Well, including bullwinkles, which
1:11:51
that let's make sure to carve out some
1:11:53
time to talk about yeah Yeah, civic visit
1:11:55
because this is not like, you know, we're
1:11:57
not seeing animatronics again. Let's make no mistake
1:12:00
there but there is like what
1:12:02
is the extent of the Bullwinkle
1:12:04
feeling at this upland location so
1:12:06
basically nothing some signage
1:12:08
some like employees only signage where
1:12:11
you'll see a character they
1:12:14
have a mini too mini golf course
1:12:16
is an outdoor and an indoor the
1:12:18
indoor is weirdly fairy tale themed and
1:12:20
charmingly janky I should
1:12:22
say if you like a kind of a
1:12:25
mini golf course clearly painted by the teens
1:12:27
that work there yeah I like a big
1:12:29
like crescent moon hanging in there maybe I saw
1:12:32
you know you might be right yeah okay yeah really
1:12:34
yeah fun and then a
1:12:37
little arcade with a lot of
1:12:39
like big versions of
1:12:41
cell phone games you got a
1:12:43
fruit ninja you got a Angry
1:12:45
Birds restaurant not open yet but
1:12:47
they have a little on a
1:12:50
tiny TV by where you get
1:12:52
the like you know play cards
1:12:54
you can see a like
1:12:58
3d kind of model
1:13:00
of what it's going to look like I would
1:13:03
say the 3d is lawnmower
1:13:05
man quality ps1
1:13:08
cutscene and it
1:13:11
looks like they're gonna add so the arcade is gonna
1:13:13
be bad and obvs oh cool
1:13:15
and they're bad or bad enough last name
1:13:18
of the character and it looks like you know
1:13:20
there's gonna be some maybe a guy in a
1:13:22
bullwinkle suit walking around and I and this and
1:13:24
this is wishful thinking I don't know that this
1:13:26
is gonna happen probably not but one of the
1:13:28
rooms does look like you
1:13:31
can kind of see there's a tarp over
1:13:33
it but you can see the walls and
1:13:35
it looks lodge themed I have to hope
1:13:37
maybe they're trying to bring back a lodge
1:13:39
and maybe it would have
1:13:41
animatronics in it I don't know I think this
1:13:43
you know I something okay at
1:13:45
the very least you know you if
1:13:47
it's I mean like fairy tales came
1:13:50
back at knots but you do at
1:13:52
least sometimes at least appreciate whoever's
1:13:54
doing a new version of something or
1:13:56
trying to sneak in like an Epcot
1:13:58
reference into a line Yeah, that
1:14:00
is something you're giving me a little morsel
1:14:02
Thank you for that at the very least
1:14:04
if they're just trying to pay homage to
1:14:07
the old room sure the bullet goes I
1:14:09
appreciate that but hopefully what you're saying. Yeah,
1:14:11
I would like it if they did What
1:14:14
and some other locations did a promotion
1:14:16
an after dark promotion
1:14:18
21 and oh? Whoa,
1:14:21
it's bullwinkles head answers after dark and
1:14:23
it's just happened. I was but I
1:14:25
was but days ago and it It's
1:14:29
like psychedelic poster. Let me
1:14:31
you fucking drop acid at full winkles
1:14:34
Oh man, what they're implying do some
1:14:36

1:15:13
when they were looking to read you know cash in their tickets
1:15:16
One of the kids only had 30 tickets, and
1:15:19

1:15:21
candy. Yeah, kid doesn't like candy She
1:15:23
wanted the samurai swords which were 3,000 tickets
1:15:28

1:17:55
yeah yeah no this is I think clearly this
1:17:58
is the this is the vibe of this establish
1:18:00
establishment. Turn to Broadway called Feel
1:18:02
Something. Feel
1:18:05
Something, Paul Winkles. Well
1:18:08
I break from the numbness. I
1:18:12
feel like we've said it all. I
1:18:14
mean, talks did anything on the way
1:18:16
out the door, but otherwise... There was
1:18:18
some crossover from Chuck E. Cheese, actually.
1:18:20
Sorry, my phone went gone. But they
1:18:22
either voice talent that did both.
1:18:24
Oh yeah, because that is the real
1:18:27
voices. And also, you know what's cool
1:18:29
is that Snidely Whiplash and I think
1:18:31
maybe other characters were Corey Burton, who
1:18:33
has universally taken over as Snidely Whiplash,
1:18:35
like in the new shorts or any
1:18:38
new iterations of it, in
1:18:40
Dudley Doo rights for Ripsaw Falls. The
1:18:42
voice of the Disney parking lot tram is
1:18:44
like in this and many other media, like
1:18:47
taken over the old Hans
1:18:49
Conride characters. I believe Helen Henny's
1:18:51
voice is also, she did voices
1:18:53
here. You know what, I just want
1:18:56
to say for an episode where we've talked about coming
1:18:58
several times, it felt good to get back onto our
1:19:00
solid ground of saying the name Hans
1:19:02
Conride and Helen Henny. Now
1:19:05
we're back on American Time. Some nice
1:19:07
name. I like it. Somebody who was
1:19:09
like wagging their finger at the show
1:19:11
up until now goes, well now I
1:19:13
like it. I like what they're saying
1:19:15
again. And the voice actor of Comely
1:19:17
is... Oh shit, no! No! They're
1:19:20
writing their letters again! They're taking pens to paper! Press
1:19:23
their decibels! Like getting an H into
1:19:25
that name! I thought
1:19:27
this was a clean show. They say
1:19:30
they're good boys. I have a name as
1:19:32
well, the guy who started
1:19:34
this, David L. Brown. At
1:19:37
some point he got the license and
1:19:40
he toured a stage show called
1:19:42
Bullwinkle's Call of the Wild show
1:19:45
which included an original
1:19:47
character, Bullwinkle's girlfriend
1:19:50
Moonbeam. I
1:19:52
have not been able to find anything
1:19:55
on the original character, Bullwinkle's girlfriend Moonbeam.
1:19:57
So is there any more? Moonbeam heads
1:19:59
you haven't even found a photo of
1:20:01
me. I haven't seen a photo you've
1:20:04
been searching I do searching yeah to
1:20:06
the library to Yeah
1:20:13
I Got my keys Alice
1:20:16
a ball up away cold you accidentally called
1:20:18
it garden cash, but then you yeah, oh
1:20:21
wait no microfies The I I maybe my
1:20:23
just guess knowing that and knowing the time
1:20:25
period I wonder if she was supposed to
1:20:27
be like a hippie I think she was
1:20:29
like at home, maybe yeah, yeah,
1:20:32
huh? I
1:20:34
just seems like Jason is a like you're gonna
1:20:36

moonbeam. This is your sixth-parted Podcast

1:20:48
how did it work knowing what
1:20:50
Bullwinkle's packing? How could any human
1:20:53
woman right possibly withstood? Even
1:20:56
a brief lovemaking session with bullwin well
1:20:58
if only goes dumb and packing I
1:21:00
think get a fuck Mary killed Girlfriend

1:21:12
to marry bullwinkle over Well

I didn't know how many were in I
1:21:25
don't want to kill any of the no

1:22:20
you. Actually, no, no, no. I took a stab there. You
1:22:22
could be right. But she could be a moose.
1:22:24
She could be any other animal, too. Mm-hmm. Huh.
1:22:27
Yeah. I took a badger, possum.
1:22:29
We gotta find Moonbeam. The old mouse.
1:22:31
Mm-hmm. That's what, listener, I call to
1:22:33
action, find a picture of Moonbeam
1:22:35
for us, and if you can't, make
1:22:38
her up and put her kissing Jason in a
1:22:40
photo. What
1:22:44
Moonbeam do you see? And then
1:22:46
draw Mike and Mr. Peapody's wedding.
1:22:50
And then, and
1:22:52
this draw me trying to take it from Bullwick
1:22:54
during our long weekend in Reno. I,
1:22:58
can I add to Jason's that
1:23:00
Bullwinkle is standing by and his
1:23:02
nose has gone limp because he's
1:23:04
so saddened that his girlfriend has
1:23:07
been taken. Right. Bullwinkle's
1:23:09
in the cuck chair. Yeah. So,
1:23:15
yeah, preferably the real Moonbeam. I'd love to
1:23:17
see what Moonbeam looks like
1:23:19
for real. Oh, she's gonna kill
1:23:21
Moonbeam. She's gonna be so mad
1:23:23
with your ears. Who's
1:23:27
this in your phone, Moonbeam? You
1:23:30
didn't protest enough when they proposed you
1:23:32
kissing, I don't know, a cartoon skunk.
1:23:37
We're in the doghouse now. It
1:23:41
wasn't about her, it was about wanting to cuck
1:23:43
Bullwinkle. Don't you see, honey? He likes
1:23:45
it. It's the only way he can get
1:23:47
hard. No, it brings his
1:23:49
snoot back to life. Ooh, tell
1:23:51
me I could never make you cum. Wow.
1:23:56
Jason, is this show though, was it like a Sesame Street
1:23:58
on I.U.? Show I
1:24:00
think it was like costume characters. I saw this
1:24:02
too He got this license first and then it
1:24:04
led to when then he had and thought well,
1:24:06
why not? Also do a
1:24:09
Chuck E cheese while I have it Yeah it
1:24:11
was dubbed characters and the dubbed characters were wrong
1:24:13
and in fact the voice of Bullwinkle was the
1:24:15
guy who's usually the voice of Chuck E cheese
1:24:17
in that sleazy era so part of
1:24:19
the in in okay for them to
1:24:22
like approve the Property to do
1:24:24
a Chuck E cheese out of it. They said okay, but
1:24:26
it's got to be the real voices Which is why I
1:24:28
got June for a and those thing Scott Once
1:24:31
again back to this podcast is let
1:24:33
me be clear This is a podcast
1:24:35
where we say names of deceased people
1:24:37
and not where we say filthy words
1:24:48
Despite the audio files being well preserved
1:24:50
I didn't find a lot on eBay
1:24:53
or Depop in terms of selling I
1:24:55
think a lot of bars would use
1:24:57
the generic name bullwinkles Yes,
1:24:59
I saw a lot of bars on like a
1:25:01
lot of matchbooks and stuff. It could be matchbooks
1:25:03
from these restaurants Bullwinkles also
1:25:05
like in the early 90s again
1:25:08
coming back around had a promotional
1:25:11
tie-in at Taco Bell Right, so
1:25:13
there's some bullwinkle paper products and
1:25:16
toys I think from that era
1:25:19
Okay, how much? Expensive
1:25:22
um or no probably too
1:25:24
expensive. I don't think those are
1:25:26
holy grails for toy collectors I could be wrong
1:25:28
the Taco Bell bullwinkle stuff. I just got a
1:25:30
picture of a winkle with a bullhorn telling
1:25:33
gotta leave folks Just
1:25:35
ask for your crunch card On
1:25:44
the scale of Jason voices that was
1:25:46
pretty great The first one is the
1:25:48
second one the second like this yeah,
1:25:50
you're good. Okay, that's gonna it bad
1:25:53
Wait here. All right, try with confidence Rents
1:25:58
your way to five Food

1:26:41
Jordan Morris, you survived podcast the ride!
1:26:43
Well, that stayed fully Pardo, but I
1:26:45
hope it was nice anyway. To
1:26:48
me, it was Bullwinkle. To me, I would
1:26:50
be, thanks, thanks, my Bullwinkle. Mike Hero. Yeah,
1:26:53
you visualized a big, full pants bulge, as
1:26:55
he said that. I did, yes. Yeah,
1:26:58
beautiful. Well, Jordan, let's exit through
1:27:00
the gift shop. Let's exit
1:27:03
through the gift shop. It
1:27:05
says, I, Bullwinkle, and Jordan is
1:27:07
like, you're my log. I'm
1:27:10
about to get blown up by a big
1:27:12
circular bomb. A plug away. Hey,
1:27:16
I wrote a new graphic novel that is
1:27:18
coming out July 16th. It
1:27:21
is called Youth Group, the artist by the
1:27:23
great Bowen McGurdy, who's a
1:27:25
great comics artist, you might know from
1:27:27
Spectre Inspectors and Marvel Comics. It
1:27:30
is a YA horror comedy
1:27:32
about teenage exorcists. They're
1:27:34
all in a goofy Bible study group, and they have
1:27:37
to go out and fight demons. In Orange County? In
1:27:39
Orange County? In Google Angels just now?
1:27:41
Yeah, yeah. Wow. It's pretty autobiographical
1:27:43
for something that has a lot of demon
1:27:45
fighting in it. A lot
1:27:47
of my childhood is in there. I think if you
1:27:49
were a Bible study kid, you'll find
1:27:51
a lot of good, hopefully familiar cringe in
1:27:54
there. Oh, that sounds
1:27:56
up my alley. Yeah, yeah. But
1:27:58
yeah, it was a blast. make I think it
1:28:00
really turned out gorgeous and if it sounds cool
1:28:03
to you would love a pre-order of course you
1:28:05
can pick it up on January sorry July 16th
1:28:07
but all January 6th so you
1:28:09
can find you I'll be handing
1:28:12
out copies at the Capitol. Yes
1:28:14
all demons like who might be
1:28:16
reelected I'm gonna throw one on
1:28:18
Nancy Pelosi's desk. June 6th July
1:28:20
16th but also we love a
1:28:22
pre-order it really helps books it's
1:28:24
huge so if you if you
1:28:27
think it's a cool concept go
1:28:29
to bit.ly youth group book
1:28:31
bit.ly youth group book and you can
1:28:33
see the gorgeous cover you can see
1:28:35
some of some of Bowen's
1:28:37
beautiful pages and get all those
1:28:40
pre-order links so yeah it's a little gift you can
1:28:42
give to yourself in the future a book pre-order
1:28:44
well yeah you do that anywhere you
1:28:46
get a book Amazon Barnes & Noble better yet your
1:28:48
local indie bookstore or you can
1:28:50
request it at the library. Call
1:28:55
the Burbank Library Buena Vista branch tell
1:28:57
them you're gonna want to check out
1:28:59
youth group when it drops on the
1:29:01
16th yeah and get the adventures of
1:29:03
Boris and Natasha the live that Dave
1:29:05
Thomas. Yeah not in the system for
1:29:10
Burbank or LA library. I know yeah but I bet
1:29:12
I think you're on something I think it might have
1:29:14
been. It probably got sold
1:29:16
during one of those friends of the
1:29:18
library sale. I know that they're buying
1:29:22
in 1997. Oh shit, that's the
1:29:24
hottest big ticket item. If you
1:29:26
can't sell it in the library
1:29:28
bookstores it's considered a carcinogen. Toxic
1:29:33
materials were used to create the
1:29:35
VHS. Jordan thank you
1:29:38
book sounds great everybody check
1:29:40
it out I'm gonna be gross and build
1:29:42
on your plugs because I have a specific
1:29:44
thing to plug. There is a show
1:29:46
that starts airing tonight Friday
1:29:49
May 3rd as you're hearing this the
1:29:51
show is called John Mulaney presents everybody's
1:29:53
in LA this is a series this
1:29:55
is six nights worth of a live
1:29:57
variety special series of live
1:30:00
variety specials put together and hosted by
1:30:02
the great John Mulaney and I had
1:30:04
the awesome opportunity to direct a couple
1:30:06
of the pre-taped sketches for
1:30:08
the show. Those will
1:30:10
not be on tonight as you're hearing this, but next
1:30:13
week, which is why I'm telling you, because these are
1:30:15
live, this is a live Netflix event, except not my
1:30:17
parts, that's what they'll show to bridge the, so that
1:30:19
they can take a rest while they're doing the live
1:30:21
parts, you see? I'm glad
1:30:23
they needed those because I got to come help. So
1:30:27
Tuesday and Wednesday, next week, May
1:30:29
7th and 8th, I believe that's when
1:30:31
my sketches are airing. If you see a sketch,
1:30:33
I can't say what they are, but if you
1:30:35
see a sketch with the Our Good Pal and
1:30:37
aforementioned in this episode, Ryan
1:30:39
Perez, that one is mine. This
1:30:43
show is like crazy, ambitious and funny
1:30:45
and writers got cut loose to do
1:30:47
exactly what they want to do and
1:30:49
it seemed, everybody involved is awesome, PTR
1:30:51
pals, Dave Ferguson and Stoney Sharpe did
1:30:54
a bunch of stuff and
1:30:56
I got to too. So check that
1:30:58
out next week if you have Netflix.
1:31:02
Yeah, big
1:31:04
if. You haven't sworn it off in anger
1:31:06
for some reason. But
1:31:08
yeah, hey, I did some fun stuff for it. So
1:31:10
thanks for letting me do some extra plugging. And
1:31:14
then for piggyback, look, I'm sorry, I made you like
1:31:16
share a plug spot. No, no, this is great. Let's
1:31:19
all plug. This is the end of the
1:31:22
end of Podcasts 4. Yeah,
1:31:24
I know, we should really pad it out and I don't
1:31:26
know anything. You can plug anything you want.
1:31:28
It doesn't have to be new. Oh my
1:31:30
God, I'm in a web series from over
1:31:32
a decade ago. I might be
1:31:34
in another episode of that web series, the wrestling web series.
1:31:36
The wrestling thing. I think I'm in another, I filmed a
1:31:39
scene for it. I don't know if it was cut though.
1:31:41
Great, great. So, Johnny loves
1:31:43
Taya and AEW's YouTube. I'm
1:31:46
playing the dog's agent. And I've
1:31:48
been pushing to try to get on live TV
1:31:50
because of it in the ring. Oh,
1:31:53
I see. I don't think it's going to happen. In
1:31:55
your picture, your character from the web series went
1:31:57
up here. Yes, I am canon. Johnny
1:32:01
TV and Taya Valkyrie, I am
1:32:03
their dog's agent in Hollywood.
1:32:06
And I'm trying to pitch now that I would
1:32:08
of course come out to the ring with the
1:32:10
dog and be on the phone making a deal
1:32:13
mid-entrance or something. Is
1:32:15
the ultimate goal to get hit with a folding chair? Is
1:32:17
that like you the most exciting thing that can happen? What if you
1:32:19
put yours in your head? Or a
1:32:22
pizza cutter just on the forehead? I could take the pizza cutter
1:32:24
to the forehead. Yeah, I would take a bump, is that what
1:32:26
you're asking? Yeah, I am. I would like to take a
1:32:28
bump, yeah. I don't want the dog to get hurt, but... Well, I think that would
1:32:30
be pretty cool. I think that would be pretty cool. Make sure the dog won't get hurt.
1:32:32
Yeah. But I would like to take a
1:32:34
bump, yeah. And Jason Sheridan is planning
1:32:37
a personal appearance at the Burbank Library
1:32:39
Buena Vista Branch. You can find him
1:32:41
in the Microfiche department learning more about
1:32:43
pizza. Yeah, I'll add the clear green
1:32:45
of accounting by their... Oh, yeah. Nice.
1:32:48
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I will be smoking in
1:32:51
there and they're not going to like it. But
1:32:53
I'll flip them a tin. I'll flip them a
1:32:55
tin. No way. Now we're saying,
1:32:57
well, everything's free around a library. A
1:33:00
tin is like a thousand irregular people.
1:33:02
Yeah, we do a volunteer, yeah. A
1:33:04
geriatric volunteer. You have a single slide from
1:33:06
like a Bullwinkle's live show and you're like
1:33:08
trying to zoom in and you're like, I
1:33:11
think in the background, that's Moonbeam.
1:33:14
That Moonbeam? Is that Moonbeam or is that the person,
1:33:16
a woman for the 70s? And
1:33:20
that moment ends the first episode of your
1:33:22
investigative podcast. Yeah, there's nine more. And that's
1:33:24
when you... They are interminable. So
1:33:26
we did not have enough story for this. They
1:33:29
didn't need. That could have been done in one
1:33:31
easily. It promised panoply nine hours. But Nye Hart
1:33:33
said they would prick my fucking legs and I
1:33:35
didn't get this done. You know what, this is
1:33:37
by Hart. I
1:33:41
heard scumming at you. Hey, you know, and
1:33:43
look at patreon.com/podcast thread. I don't have to say
1:33:45
all things. It can be quick. So sometimes they
1:33:47
can be quick. There. All
1:33:49
right. Thanks, Jordan. That was fun.
1:33:52
Thank you. Give me what a blast.
