Now is a good time to remember where the story of tequila started.

In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family.

And 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong.

Family-owned from the start, same family, same land. Now is a good time to enjoy Cuervo, the tequila that invented tequila.

This is the Dan Levatore show with The Stugats podcast.

Today's episode is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. Draftkings, the Crown is yours. It's been a long week, yeah. Because the weekend, I think, felt especially long, given all the other events that this week it's felt like a month. But it's Friday, and I still think everything's so fresh that I'm not necessarily feeling Friday vibes. But I am excited for the weekend to come because we got a good old fashioned disaster movie, Ten Pole franchise, box office, hopefully, smash hit because we want the movies to do well, coming out this weekend. Twisters. I know some people have already saw it in the same side right when you walk in at your- It's like a villain con. Despicable Me, Despicable Me Villains.You can never have too much.The left Despicable Me used to be Jetsons, correct? No. It used to be the Fantastic World of Hannah Barbera.You'll get one of those on the right.Which is their opening day. The Fantastic World of Hannabar Bear.Barbera, which became Jimmy Neutron. But Jetsons were part of that.Jimmy Neutrons was I remember.Jetsons was part of it. Yeah. All right. I'm visualizing this.Then there's Production Tour, Nickelodian Studios, which was a dream of every child to attend.When you toured it, What were they in active production on?Clarissa Explains It All. Whoa, you got lucky. Yeah, we walked around in the rafters and we saw the set of Clarissa Explains It All.I got Roundhouse, which was a short-lived variety show. Then when I went back, I got Keenan Kenan and Kell.Keenan & Kell is a banger, though. I'm jealous. My cousins went when they were doing a shooting of all that. They didn't get to see it, but oh, my God, it's what dreams are made of on in Orlando?Because I was looking for the pain scheme and I just saw a gray studio there. All right, confrontation. I need to look this up. Great attraction to wait line in. It smelled great. It looked like dirty early '80s.You had big King Kong at the end that you'd stand inside and take a picture. It is now the mummy. Classic, yeah. The mummy is great, though. The mummy, underrated roller coaster.Did they change it? I think the mummy is now a Lester Holt ride.It is not. Mummy Universal Studios Hollywood is very different from Mummy Universal Studios.Is it the new mummy?No, it's not the Tom Cruise mummy. That would be awesome, but that movie flopped. It was supposed to be the center of the Dark Universe, which is now responding an epic universe, but won't have any others.What is a dark universe? Dark Universe?Dark Universe is all the classic universal monsters, which I'm sure you're going to get around to as we continue this tour of the early '90s.All right, so next is Ghostbusters, and then there's Screen test Home Video Adventure, Coming Soon. I don't know what that was.Did it ever come? I don't know. It came.Coming soon. Don't come. All right, so now we're headed over to Hollywood, where we have the Gory, Gruesome, and Grotesque Horror Makeup Show.That's still around.If you say so, I don't know.No, it is. It's still in that corner across from the old 1950s Diner where there's all those cars there. That corner, still the same.All right. Then finally in Hollywood, there's How to make a mega movie deal, which sounds like I was talking about podcasts. That says Coming Soon, so I don't know if they ever-I don't think it ever came. They ever did that. Don't come. Then we head off to San Francisco/amody, and you have Earthquake, the big one, Dynamite Night, stunt spectacular. I love a stunt spectacular. Big fan of stunt spectacular.You look like a guy that likes the Indiana Jones. Oh, I love the Indiana Jones.Watch out for that ball. Yeah, you got to go every time you're there.He always gets crushed at first, and you're like, Oh, they actually really got hurt here, and they always fool me. Wait, wait, wait.Then Steve one time was Indiana Jones on episode of Full House, but it wasn't really Steve.So she thought they went to a sad commercial break?It was DJ, and she was missing Steve because they broke up, and she was just missing Steve. Then she looks up and was like, Whoa, Steve's Indiana Jones. But it wasn't It wasn't really Steve's.Those Disney episodes of Full House, it was really the apex of that show for me. So did the Dynamite Night stunt Spectacular briefly become Miami Vice stunt Spectacular?I have no idea. Stunt Spectacular.Jeremy looked that up. Now it's like a drone show.Is that where Fear Factor is? Do they still have Fear Factor? No. Fear Factor.So that Fear Factor stage is just seasonal. It just basically exists for the Bill and Ted show on Halloween Horror Nights. There's nothing going on right now.Well, there was indeed a Miami Vice stunt show at Universal Studios. That's why you're good, dude.Fall Guys actually reminded me because- There's a GQ article that says, The Miami Vice stunt show from Fall Guys is real.That's the headline. Look at you, man.All right, so then we have the Expo Center where there's ET Adventure, which contractually has to be there forever.Still smells the same.I love it. I still got flicked out when now you put your name in and then ET says your name on the way out.Thank you, friend Michael.No, I have no idea how they do that. It's amazing science. It's just great technology.When you say that area of the park, you want to talk about core memories. It just popped into my head. Me and my family, to this day, we still talk about this, a random British little kid walking by and our family overhearing, Woody Woodpecker, he's the best. That's a core memory for me. Is that who won? It's who won. I'm telling you, to this day, anytime anyone in my family says Woody Woodpecker, our whole family, he's the best. It was just some random five-year-old 20 years ago just walking by our family.It was a fun little coaster.It wasn't part of the original. Woody is now Trolls. And Fifle Goes West, that play area wasn't a part of the original park launch. No, it's not. But it's now like a Dreamworks world. And I have a new core memory that was unlocked a couple of weeks ago in which I was just sitting down minding my own business while my family rode the troll's coaster because I had actually pinched a nerve in my neck earlier, just lifting my daughter up in the air because I'm old now. And I was just chilling, minding my own business, waiting for my family to get off a coaster. And some lady who, to me, appeared high on meth said, mind your own effing business.That's just my memory. To you?Yeah. Well, I couldn't tell. There were three guys. It didn't make me feel great about them because the other two were in wheelchairs and I was just sitting nursing a pinched neck. And she walked past. She walked like 15 yards, and then she turned back and she barked at the three of us, mind your own effing business. This, and it was shocking. Did you look over the other guys? I was trying to figure out, but the other guys, they were like Trump at the RNC. It must have been me. She must have thought I was looking at her when I was just looking off in the distance wondering what happened to Fiefle.All right, so then there was the animal actor stage, which I think is still there. There's a similar thing. It's just an animal show. Then there's Back to the Future: The Ride Coming Soon, which is now the Simpson ride, which I think they're closing and making something else, right?Are they? I thought I heard that. They can't close Springfield. I think elements of the Back to the Future ride are now in City Walk because they have an escape room adventure. Billy, I think you'd actually like this. Have you seen the escape rooms at Universal now?I haven't been to Universal in a very long time.So they have a huge building that is dedicated escape rooms. One is a Back to the future-themed escape room, and the other is a Jurassic Park-themed escape room.I think that the Simpsons is going to go away in part because Disney owns the Simpsons now. Same thing with Spider-Man at Universal, at Islands of Adventure. I think when Disney bought Fox, they ran into issues where they had contracts at these theme parks, but they would expire at some point.All right. Is that the end of- That was it.That's all. That was their opening day.I've never been to Universal. Can we talk about anything else? Like, anything else?Don Lebatard. Mike Bryant's in there, and he's the one with a baby.He's the one who's got to worry about what the future is.Mike Ryan bet on DraftKings because Mike Ryan bet on us. This is the bet you're afraid of doubling down on? Putting up a billboard in Edmonton? Stugatz. I care more about Matthew Kitchuk than I do my daughter.This is the Dan Levatard show with the Stugats.I think I actually happened to Universal one time, but I think I was 10 or 11 years old, and I went to the University of Iowa, so most of my childhood memories are gone. I drank those all the way at school. This has really been an unenjoyable.Were you a theme park girly at any point in time?I like roller coasters, but not- Still? Sure. I don't know the last time I've been on one.Do you throw your hands up? Yeah, it's fine. Do you get into it?Carowinds is the North Carolina amusement park, and it's great, but it's not super themy, the roller coaster just fast. Roller coasters have become less of an enjoyable experience. Not for me, but as my dad has gotten older, he's just turned progressively more into an asshole in a nice way. He will sit next to people on roller coasters every single time. If there's a three group of us, he's like, Let me sit with the stranger so he can look at them before the ride and go, I only threw up once the last time I rode this to make the experience miserable for them. Classic dad joke. But they don't get it. He is very sharp with his delivery in a way that it's very hard to tell that he's joking. It's the whole time of us just having fun and looking back at someone just being terrified to be sitting next to my dad. But yeah, I don't… Universal, don't rocket. It was just like, This is how tight we decided to make everything?Carowinds looks awesome. There's so many rides.It's a great amusement park. You would really like it, Mike, because a lot of it is Nascar-themed. Oh, amazing. I'm in. They have a Dale Irnhardt roller coaster. It's called the... Someone look it up. It's called the something.The Intimidator? Yeah, that's what it's called. The Intimidator.It's really good. They have a Hornets one, which is like, blah. But it's really fast. They always on the commercials, I think they're making up the stacks, but they're like, It's the fastest giga-coaster on the East Coast. I don't know. What's it? No clue. But it's a Great amusement park, not in the sense of what I imagine Disney and Universal, where it's very themes there and there's more kid-ish stuff, where Carol Wins is like, You're going to get the fastest ride possible.Wait a second.Isn't Carol- That's Thunderstriker now? They changed the name.It used to be Intimidator. See how I got that wrong? Now it's called Thunderstriker.They couldn't get the licensing.They had one called the Nighthawk. That was really cool.Isn't Carol Wins from that? Isn't Richard Childress didn't want to give it up? Well, I mean, that's a whole thing with the family anyways.Isn't Carowinds where these two people broke up on Love is Blind? Does anybody else remember that? Yes. It is. What are the names of the people? Yes. Where they were in the theme park having dinner. Is that Jimmy? Jimmy, what's her name? The girl that said she looked like Megan Fox.Yeah, they got back together. They got back together. Yeah,megan Fox and Jimmy. So she's like, Hey.They were back together after all that? I'm pretty sure they were.They went to Kare together?She's like, Why did you break up with me before Karewins? He's like, I wanted to ride the ride.And I get it. Those roller coasters are amazing. No disrespect for them.And they shut down the park for them. So Matt, the wait times were nothing.It was also the end of the show, the end of the night. So he's like, Yeah, her name is Chelsea. Chelsea, I think we're going to break up. She's like, You just wrote all the rides. It was just the naming rights deal coming up. They had a deal and it ran through, so they renamed it.Just retire the It's retired at the three.Just retire the three. How does Kira Wins work? Because there's a lot of water slides, too. Is it separate? You pay them money and then they give you a ticket to walk in. No, but is it separate tickets for the water park and then the roller coaster park? Or what do you do?I believe so. I think you have to get a separate ticket for the water part of it. But we never did that that often. There's a separate water park in Greensboro, which is about an hour plus away. So a lot of people would go to that. That's wet and wild. Carowinds was more for the roller coasters, and it was a really great amusement park to go to growing up because it really is just about fast roller coasters.Can we, video team, if we can find what the Intimidator looked like back in its day, back before they ruined everything.It was a really great ride.Did it have Good Wrench stickers everywhere?It was red.Red?The car is probably black. The car looks like Dale's car.It was so fun. No, it was a really... They do a good job with making the roller coasters really, really fast and more like, real chic car.You seem to have some what feels like a steering wheel. You're sitting, but you have something here.That's dope because the new Harry Potter ride where you can pick the motorcycle or the side car.The Hagrid ride, it's spectacular.Yeah, I picked the...Being on the motorcycle is the best part. You don't want to be in the side car.Pick the Big Hog. Yeah, pick the big hog.I have a dumb question for you, Lucy. So Down here, the theme parks are open year-round, but I know nationally, there's seasonal parks. Is Carole Wins a seasonal park? Is it year-round? Because I went one time to Gatlinburg, and Dollywood was close to Gatlinburg, but Dollywood was seasonal, so it was closed.I think it's year-round, but I'm not 100% positive. North Carolina, the weather is good for a good chunk of the year. It'll be not fun from November to February. But even then, North Carolina, you get so many random days where it's like, Oh, man, it snowed seven inches, and the next day, it's 70 degrees. So I think it's... I don't know. I don't know why I even tried to answer that question.I don't know the answer. November to February, that you say is the bad time, is the good time to go to theme parks here because it's so hot the rest of the year around where you don't want to go. After March, mid-March, April, until almost mid-November, you don't really want to go to theme parks very long down here.I'll be there in two weeks, and I'm dreading how hot it's going to be.It's going to be incredibly hot. They've thrown up a photo of the Intimidator, and I guess they didn't want to give Good Wrench the free pub. So it's the black paint scheme. They gave Chevy some love. You get Dale Irnhardt senior's signature on it, but no Good Wrench paint scheme on that. Was there a second car that had the Wrangler scheme? No?No, but it is an intimidating ride. And speaking of it, being very hot at an amusement park. Rubbing his race. One time, we went there in July, and it was really, really hot. And this was just as the Intimidator opened. So the lines were super long, and I got right up to the front, and I passed out, and they wouldn't let me on the ride. And it wasn't because I was nervous or anything. It was just because it was so hot and it was so embarrassing because they opened the gates for us to get on the ride, and I'm like, Hell, yeah. And immediately, I hit the ground.You passed out?I passed out. I'm not going to lie, I probably wouldn't let you ride either.I'd just be afraid.It seems like a liability, honestly.They shouldn't let me on. But I went to the nurse and they were like, Yeah, girl, you were just... It's really hot. And so they gave me food, and then I went on the ride.It was so embarrassing. Eight years ago, I have a cousin-in-law, John. He's very cheap. And I made a deal with him. We went to Bush Gardens, and I said, Tell you what, I'll pay for your ticket if when you get inside, they can paint your face, and I choose what they paint your face with. He's like, Deal. He didn't hesitate. He took the deal. So we get inside. I get his face painted like a Cheetah. He passes out because the son has to get medical attention. There's a Cheetah. Let me see if I could find the photo of all the pain on his face. He was 34 at the time, and he just had all this Cheetah pain. It was like when we were stopping for lunch, it was a scary thing at first. Whenever somebody passes out, you're always fear in the worst. But he popped right back up like, What happened? And he had to receive medical treatment.Why am I sweating?He had to keep it the entire day. And because he was so dehydrated, he had to go into a CVS with all that smeared Cheetah. Now, that is a core memory. Glenn Powell, are we just at the beginning of the Intimidator ride? Are Are we at the middle?I'm not sure exactly where we're at. I know we have four upcoming projects, according to IMDb, and the descriptions of each of them are very different. I'm going to bring these to you with whatever co-stars are apparently linked to them. One is called Huntington, a young man hatches a murderous plot to inherit his family's wealth, starring Glenn Powell and Margaret Quale.It'd be great if that's Paddington 4, where she was a nemesis.Then we have Monsanto, Young attorney, Brent Wiesner, played by Powell, takes on a case against Monsanto on behalf of groundskeeper Dwayne Lee Johnson. Dwayne Johnson.That's the only one way this movie goes.Who used the company He's a weed killer, Roundup, and developed cancer despite Monsanto's toxicologist testifying to roundup safety. That Dwayne Lee Johnson is played by Anthony Macky. Laura Dern will also be in this movie.I love Laura Dern. That's like a male Erin Brockovich.You guys are really going to like this one. This one's called Chad Power, a disgraced college quarterback named Russ Holladay disguises himself as Chad Power and walks onto a struggling Southern football team to revive his football career.This is a TV show.Starring Glenn Powell and Steve Zahn. That's a TV show.Steve Zahn.Tv show. You're right. That is a TV series.Lucy, that's the Eli Manning character, right?It was the Eli Manning character. It was like a sports center thing, I think, where he was Chad Power dressed up in a disguise and and tried out for the Penn State football team. It was just Eli Manning.God, they need a quarterback.Yeah. I actually remember seeing the tweet that they were making a movie out of this or a TV show, whatever they're doing with Glenn Powell. But it's based off of a funny little sketch.Is this the Sudeckis thing? It was just like, he did a thing for NBC, and now we're going to make a show out of it.That's a good point. You went to the very top of the heap. That worked out.I know. I'm just saying that that's crazy, that that's how that came to be. The last one is written by Stephen King and Edgar Wright, directed by Edgar Wright, The Running Man, the Futuristic United States of 2025, the World has become a dystopia.What? They're making a Running Man movie. But it's in 2025.Yeah, for real. This is like two years away. It's the Futuristic World, but there's no release date. It's already 2024. We got to go 2055. We got to imagine they're going to push it a little bit.No, I like that they wouldn't push it. I hate that. Let's clean up the mess. Running Man was this dystopian future. Let's acknowledge the fact that, no, you're wrong. In just 12 months time, everything is going to become Running Man.It is funny how movies from the '90s, when they talk about 2022, it looks like the Jetsons.Monsanto, we can agree, is them He's trying to grab some trophies with that one, right?I love a good courtroom drama. For sure. Who's going to play the Richard Dawson character in this new Running Man?No one cast as of yet. The only person linked is Gun Powell.How about Matt Gates from two days ago?Yeah.So we got... That was a lot of movie segments, really. And we're going to take a break from that in the next segment with David Samson. I'm sorry. Look, man, like I said, it's been a week. I'm just trying to keep this one light. It's been exhausting. Hey, let's have a timeline cleanser. I want to do too quickly with the time that we have left. Show this video of Matthew Kchuck taking the Stanley Cup around St. Louis. And also I want to show this photo so I could blow your minds with the stat of the day quickly, if I can. So Matthew Kchuck, I found out in Tahoe, it was very important to him to take this Stanley Cup to his hometown in St. Louis. And there were all these adorable videos. He went to his elementary school, he went to his local fire department, he went to his local police Department. He actually went to a brewery as well. Do we have the video of Matthew Kchuck and the student? This is just wholesome content. Do we have that? We do not. All right, do we have the photo of Matthew Kchuck with a Heisman Trophy?Do we have that?Maybe. We have a photo right here of him in a school. All right.Thank you. The frustrations do get amplified when you're in front of this microphone, so I feel Dan a little bit there. Hey, it's Mike Ryan, and man, it's a hot one, as Rob Thomas famously said. I know summertime means pool and backyard time. In some parts of the country, it might be too hot for that. So if you're going to be out there, be careful. Hydrate yourself, have some water, and also have a Miller light, because Miller light makes summertime Miller time, whether you're grilling over an open flame or out there on a charcoal grill. Listen, man, I don't know what the best way is to actually grill meat. I just know that when I'm doing my grilling, it's a lot better when I have a Miller light, because Miller light keeps things simple. Undebatable quality, and it tastes as great as your barbecue. The original light beer since 1975, and a perfect companion for grillmasters or want to be grillmasters all across America. With a Miller light in your hand, drilling doesn't just taste great. It tastes like Miller time. To get Miller Light delivered right to your door, visit millerlight. Com/dan, or you can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer.Celebrate responsibly.

same side right when you walk in at your- It's like a villain con. Despicable Me, Despicable Me Villains.

You can never have too much.

The left Despicable Me used to be Jetsons, correct? No. It used to be the Fantastic World of Hannah Barbera.

You'll get one of those on the right.

Which is their opening day. The Fantastic World of Hannabar Bear.

Barbera, which became Jimmy Neutron. But Jetsons were part of that.

Jimmy Neutrons was I remember.

Jetsons was part of it. Yeah. All right. I'm visualizing this.

Then there's Production Tour, Nickelodian Studios, which was a dream of every child to attend.

When you toured it, What were they in active production on?

Clarissa Explains It All. Whoa, you got lucky. Yeah, we walked around in the rafters and we saw the set of Clarissa Explains It All.

I got Roundhouse, which was a short-lived variety show. Then when I went back, I got Keenan Kenan and Kell.

Keenan & Kell is a banger, though. I'm jealous. My cousins went when they were doing a shooting of all that. They didn't get to see it, but oh, my God, it's what dreams are made of on in Orlando?Because I was looking for the pain scheme and I just saw a gray studio there. All right, confrontation. I need to look this up. Great attraction to wait line in. It smelled great. It looked like dirty early '80s.You had big King Kong at the end that you'd stand inside and take a picture. It is now the mummy. Classic, yeah. The mummy is great, though. The mummy, underrated roller coaster.Did they change it? I think the mummy is now a Lester Holt ride.It is not. Mummy Universal Studios Hollywood is very different from Mummy Universal Studios.Is it the new mummy?No, it's not the Tom Cruise mummy. That would be awesome, but that movie flopped. It was supposed to be the center of the Dark Universe, which is now responding an epic universe, but won't have any others.What is a dark universe? Dark Universe?Dark Universe is all the classic universal monsters, which I'm sure you're going to get around to as we continue this tour of the early '90s.All right, so next is Ghostbusters, and then there's Screen test Home Video Adventure, Coming Soon. I don't know what that was.Did it ever come? I don't know. It came.Coming soon. Don't come. All right, so now we're headed over to Hollywood, where we have the Gory, Gruesome, and Grotesque Horror Makeup Show.That's still around.If you say so, I don't know.No, it is.

Mike Bryant's in there, and he's the one with a baby.He's the one who's got to worry about what the future is.Mike Ryan bet on DraftKings because Mike Ryan bet on us. This is the bet you're afraid of doubling down on? Putting up a billboard in Edmonton? Stugatz. I care more about Matthew Kitchuk than I do my daughter.This is the Dan Levatard show with the Stugats.I think I actually happened to Universal one time, but I think I was 10 or 11 years old, and I went to the University of Iowa, so most of my childhood memories are gone. I drank those all the way at school. This has really been an unenjoyable.Were you a theme park girly at any point in time?I like roller coasters, but not- Still? Sure. I don't know the last time I've been on one.Do you throw your hands up? Yeah, it's fine. Do you get into it?Carowinds is the North Carolina amusement park, and it's great, but it's not super themy, the roller coaster just fast. Roller coasters have become less of an enjoyable experience. Not for me, but as my dad has gotten older, he's just turned progressively more into an asshole in a nice way. He will sit next to people on roller coasters every single time. If there's a three group of us, he's like, Let me sit with the stranger so he can look at them before the ride and go, I only threw up once the last time I rode this to make the experience miserable for them. Classic dad joke. But they don't get it. He is very sharp with his delivery in a way that it's very hard to tell that he's joking. It's the whole time of us just having fun and looking back at someone just being terrified to be sitting next to my dad. But yeah, I don't… Universal, don't rocket. It was just like, This is how tight we decided to make everything?Carowinds looks awesome. There's so many rides.It's a great amusement park. You would really like it, Mike, because a lot of it is Nascar-themed. Oh, amazing. I'm in. They have a Dale Irnhardt roller coaster. It's called the... Someone look it up. It's called the something.The Intimidator? Yeah, that's what it's called. The Intimidator.It's really good. They have a Hornets one, which is like, blah. But it's really fast. They always on the commercials, I think they're making up the stacks, but they're like, It's the fastest giga-coaster on the East Coast. I don't know. What's it? No clue. But it's a Great amusement park, not in the sense of what I imagine Disney and Universal, where it's very themes there and there's more kid-ish stuff, where Carol Wins is like, You're going to get the fastest ride possible.Wait a second.Isn't Carol- That's Thunderstriker now? They changed the name.It used to be Intimidator. See how I got that wrong? Now it's called Thunderstriker.They couldn't get the licensing.They had one called the Nighthawk. That was really cool.Isn't Carol Wins from that? Isn't Richard Childress didn't want to give it up? Well, I mean, that's a whole thing with the family anyways.Isn't Carowinds where these two people broke up on Love is Blind? Does anybody else remember that? Yes. It is. What are the names of the people? Yes. Where they were in the theme park having dinner. Is that Jimmy? Jimmy, what's her name? The girl that said she looked like Megan Fox.Yeah, they got back together. They got back together. Yeah,megan Fox and Jimmy. So she's like, Hey.They were back together after all that? I'm pretty sure they were.They went to Kare together?She's like, Why did you break up with me before Karewins? He's like, I wanted to ride the ride.And I get it. Those roller coasters are amazing. No disrespect for them.And they shut down the park for them. So Matt, the wait times were nothing.It was also the end of the show, the end of the night. So he's like, Yeah, her name is Chelsea. Chelsea, I think we're going to break up. She's like, You just wrote all the rides. It was just the naming rights deal coming up. They had a deal and it ran through, so they renamed it.Just retire the It's retired at the three.Just retire the three. How does Kira Wins work? Because there's a lot of water slides, too. Is it separate? You pay them money and then they give you a ticket to walk in. No, but is it separate tickets for the water park and then the roller coaster park? Or what do you do?I believe so. I think you have to get a separate ticket for the water part of it. But we never did that that often. There's a separate water park in Greensboro, which is about an hour plus away. So a lot of people would go to that. That's wet and wild. Carowinds was more for the roller coasters, and it was a really great amusement park to go to growing up because it really is just about fast roller coasters.Can we, video team, if we can find what the Intimidator looked like back in its day, back before they ruined everything.It was a really great ride.Did it have Good Wrench stickers everywhere?It was red.Red?The car is probably black. The car looks like Dale's car.It was so fun. No, it was a really... They do a good job with making the roller coasters really, really fast and more like, real chic car.You seem to have some what feels like a steering wheel. You're sitting, but you have something here.That's dope because the new Harry Potter ride where you can pick the motorcycle or the side car.The Hagrid ride, it's spectacular.Yeah, I picked the...Being on the motorcycle is the best part. You don't want to be in the side car.Pick the Big Hog. Yeah, pick the big hog.I have a dumb question for you, Lucy. So Down here, the theme parks are open year-round, but I know nationally, there's seasonal parks. Is Carole Wins a seasonal park? Is it year-round? Because I went one time to Gatlinburg, and Dollywood was close to Gatlinburg, but Dollywood was seasonal, so it was closed.I think it's year-round, but I'm not 100% positive. North Carolina, the weather is good for a good chunk of the year. It'll be not fun from November to February. But even then, North Carolina, you get so many random days where it's like, Oh, man, it snowed seven inches, and the next day, it's 70 degrees. So I think it's... I don't know. I don't know why I even tried to answer that question.I don't know the answer. November to February, that you say is the bad time, is the good time to go to theme parks here because it's so hot the rest of the year around where you don't want to go. After March, mid-March, April, until almost mid-November, you don't really want to go to theme parks very long down here.I'll be there in two weeks, and I'm dreading how hot it's going to be.It's going to be incredibly hot. They've thrown up a photo of the Intimidator, and I guess they didn't want to give Good Wrench the free pub. So it's the black paint scheme. They gave Chevy some love. You get Dale Irnhardt senior's signature on it, but no Good Wrench paint scheme on that. Was there a second car that had the Wrangler scheme? No?No, but it is an intimidating ride. And speaking of it, being very hot at an amusement park. Rubbing his race. One time, we went there in July, and it was really, really hot. And this was just as the Intimidator opened. So the lines were super long, and I got right up to the front, and I passed out, and they wouldn't let me on the ride. And it wasn't because I was nervous or anything. It was just because it was so hot and it was so embarrassing because they opened the gates for us to get on the ride, and I'm like, Hell, yeah. And immediately, I hit the ground.You passed out?I passed out. I'm not going to lie, I probably wouldn't let you ride either.I'd just be afraid.It seems like a liability, honestly.They shouldn't let me on. But I went to the nurse and they were like, Yeah, girl, you were just... It's really hot. And so they gave me food, and then I went on the ride.It was so embarrassing. Eight years ago, I have a cousin-in-law, John. He's very cheap. And I made a deal with him. We went to Bush Gardens, and I said, Tell you what, I'll pay for your ticket if when you get inside, they can paint your face, and I choose what they paint your face with. He's like, Deal. He didn't hesitate. He took the deal. So we get inside. I get his face painted like a Cheetah. He passes out because the son has to get medical attention. There's a Cheetah. Let me see if I could find the photo of all the pain on his face. He was 34 at the time, and he just had all this Cheetah pain. It was like when we were stopping for lunch, it was a scary thing at first. Whenever somebody passes out, you're always fear in the worst. But he popped right back up like, What happened? And he had to receive medical treatment.Why am I sweating?He had to keep it the entire day. And because he was so dehydrated, he had to go into a CVS with all that smeared Cheetah. Now, that is a core memory. Glenn Powell, are we just at the beginning of the Intimidator ride? Are Are we at the middle?I'm not sure exactly where we're at. I know we have four upcoming projects, according to IMDb, and the descriptions of each of them are very different. I'm going to bring these to you with whatever co-stars are apparently linked to them. One is called Huntington, a young man hatches a murderous plot to inherit his family's wealth, starring Glenn Powell and Margaret Quale.It'd be great if that's Paddington 4, where she was a nemesis.Then we have Monsanto, Young attorney, Brent Wiesner, played by Powell, takes on a case against Monsanto on behalf of groundskeeper Dwayne Lee Johnson. Dwayne Johnson.That's the only one way this movie goes.Who used the company He's a weed killer, Roundup, and developed cancer despite Monsanto's toxicologist testifying to roundup safety. That Dwayne Lee Johnson is played by Anthony Macky. Laura Dern will also be in this movie.I love Laura Dern. That's like a male Erin Brockovich.You guys are really going to like this one. This one's called Chad Power, a disgraced college quarterback named Russ Holladay disguises himself as Chad Power and walks onto a struggling Southern football team to revive his football career.This is a TV show.Starring Glenn Powell and Steve Zahn. That's a TV show.Steve Zahn.Tv show. You're right. That is a TV series.Lucy, that's the Eli Manning character, right?It was the Eli Manning character. It was like a sports center thing, I think, where he was Chad Power dressed up in a disguise and and tried out for the Penn State football team. It was just Eli Manning.God, they need a quarterback.Yeah. I actually remember seeing the tweet that they were making a movie out of this or a TV show, whatever they're doing with Glenn Powell. But it's based off of a funny little sketch.Is this the Sudeckis thing? It was just like, he did a thing for NBC, and now we're going to make a show out of it.That's a good point. You went to the very top of the heap. That worked out.I know. I'm just saying that that's crazy, that that's how that came to be. The last one is written by Stephen King and Edgar Wright, directed by Edgar Wright, The Running Man, the Futuristic United States of 2025, the World has become a dystopia.What? They're making a Running Man movie. But it's in 2025.Yeah, for real. This is like two years away. It's the Futuristic World, but there's no release date. It's already 2024. We got to go 2055. We got to imagine they're going to push it a little bit.No, I like that they wouldn't push it. I hate that. Let's clean up the mess. Running Man was this dystopian future. Let's acknowledge the fact that, no, you're wrong. In just 12 months time, everything is going to become Running Man.It is funny how movies from the '90s, when they talk about 2022, it looks like the Jetsons.Monsanto, we can agree, is them He's trying to grab some trophies with that one, right?I love a good courtroom drama. For sure. Who's going to play the Richard Dawson character in this new Running Man?No one cast as of yet. The only person linked is Gun Powell.How about Matt Gates from two days ago?Yeah.So we got... That was a lot of movie segments, really. And we're going to take a break from that in the next segment with David Samson. I'm sorry. Look, man, like I said, it's been a week. I'm just trying to keep this one light. It's been exhausting. Hey, let's have a timeline cleanser. I want to do too quickly with the time that we have left. Show this video of Matthew Kchuck taking the Stanley Cup around St. Louis. And also I want to show this photo so I could blow your minds with the stat of the day quickly, if I can. So Matthew Kchuck, I found out in Tahoe, it was very important to him to take this Stanley Cup to his hometown in St. Louis. And there were all these adorable videos. He went to his elementary school, he went to his local fire department, he went to his local police Department. He actually went to a brewery as well. Do we have the video of Matthew Kchuck and the student? This is just wholesome content. Do we have that? We do not. All right, do we have the photo of Matthew Kchuck with a Heisman Trophy?Do we have that?Maybe. We have a photo right here of him in a school. All right.Thank you. The frustrations do get amplified when you're in front of this microphone, so I feel Dan a little bit there. Hey, it's Mike Ryan, and man, it's a hot one, as Rob Thomas famously said. I know summertime means pool and backyard time. In some parts of the country, it might be too hot for that. So if you're going to be out there, be careful. Hydrate yourself, have some water, and also have a Miller light, because Miller light makes summertime Miller time, whether you're grilling over an open flame or out there on a charcoal grill. Listen, man, I don't know what the best way is to actually grill meat. I just know that when I'm doing my grilling, it's a lot better when I have a Miller light, because Miller light keeps things simple. Undebatable quality, and it tastes as great as your barbecue. The original light beer since 1975, and a perfect companion for grillmasters or want to be grillmasters all across America. With a Miller light in your hand, drilling doesn't just taste great. It tastes like Miller time. To get Miller Light delivered right to your door, visit millerlight. Com/dan, or you can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer.Celebrate responsibly.

on in Orlando?

Because I was looking for the pain scheme and I just saw a gray studio there. All right, confrontation. I need to look this up. Great attraction to wait line in. It smelled great. It looked like dirty early '80s.

You had big King Kong at the end that you'd stand inside and take a picture. It is now the mummy. Classic, yeah. The mummy is great, though. The mummy, underrated roller coaster.

Did they change it? I think the mummy is now a Lester Holt ride.

It is not. Mummy Universal Studios Hollywood is very different from Mummy Universal Studios.

Is it the new mummy?

No, it's not the Tom Cruise mummy. That would be awesome, but that movie flopped. It was supposed to be the center of the Dark Universe, which is now responding an epic universe, but won't have any others.

What is a dark universe? Dark Universe?

Dark Universe is all the classic universal monsters, which I'm sure you're going to get around to as we continue this tour of the early '90s.

All right, so next is Ghostbusters, and then there's Screen test Home Video Adventure, Coming Soon. I don't know what that was.

Did it ever come? I don't know. It came.

Coming soon. Don't come. All right, so now we're headed over to Hollywood, where we have the Gory, Gruesome, and Grotesque Horror Makeup Show.

That's still around.

If you say so, I don't know.

No, it is. It's still in that corner across from the old 1950s Diner where there's all those cars there. That corner, still the same.

All right. Then finally in Hollywood, there's How to make a mega movie deal, which sounds like I was talking about podcasts. That says Coming Soon, so I don't know if they ever-I don't think it ever came. They ever did that. Don't come. Then we head off to San Francisco/amody, and you have Earthquake, the big one, Dynamite Night, stunt spectacular. I love a stunt spectacular. Big fan of stunt spectacular.

You look like a guy that likes the Indiana Jones. Oh, I love the Indiana Jones.

Watch out for that ball. Yeah, you got to go every time you're there.

He always gets crushed at first, and you're like, Oh, they actually really got hurt here, and they always fool me. Wait, wait, wait.

Then Steve one time was Indiana Jones on episode of Full House, but it wasn't really Steve.

So she thought they went to a sad commercial break?

It was DJ, and she was missing Steve because they broke up, and she was just missing Steve. Then she looks up and was like, Whoa, Steve's Indiana Jones. But it wasn't It wasn't really Steve's.

Those Disney episodes of Full House, it was really the apex of that show for me. So did the Dynamite Night stunt Spectacular briefly become Miami Vice stunt Spectacular?

I have no idea. Stunt Spectacular.

Jeremy looked that up. Now it's like a drone show.

Is that where Fear Factor is? Do they still have Fear Factor? No. Fear Factor.

So that Fear Factor stage is just seasonal. It just basically exists for the Bill and Ted show on Halloween Horror Nights. There's nothing going on right now.

Well, there was indeed a Miami Vice stunt show at Universal Studios. That's why you're good, dude.

Fall Guys actually reminded me because- There's a GQ article that says, The Miami Vice stunt show from Fall Guys is real.

That's the headline. Look at you, man.

All right, so then we have the Expo Center where there's ET Adventure, which contractually has to be there forever.

Still smells the same.

I love it. I still got flicked out when now you put your name in and then ET says your name on the way out.Thank you, friend Michael.No, I have no idea how they do that. It's amazing science. It's just great technology.

When you say that area of the park, you want to talk about core memories. It just popped into my head. Me and my family, to this day, we still talk about this, a random British little kid walking by and our family overhearing, Woody Woodpecker, he's the best. That's a core memory for me. Is that who won? It's who won. I'm telling you, to this day, anytime anyone in my family says Woody Woodpecker, our whole family, he's the best. It was just some random five-year-old 20 years ago just walking by our family.

It was a fun little coaster.

It wasn't part of the original. Woody is now Trolls. And Fifle Goes West, that play area wasn't a part of the original park launch. No, it's not. But it's now like a Dreamworks world. And I have a new core memory that was unlocked a couple of weeks ago in which I was just sitting down minding my own business while my family rode the troll's coaster because I had actually pinched a nerve in my neck earlier, just lifting my daughter up in the air because I'm old now. And I was just chilling, minding my own business, waiting for my family to get off a coaster. And some lady who, to me, appeared high on meth said, mind your own effing business.

That's just my memory. To you?

Yeah. Well, I couldn't tell. There were three guys. It didn't make me feel great about them because the other two were in wheelchairs and I was just sitting nursing a pinched neck. And she walked past. She walked like 15 yards, and then she turned back and she barked at the three of us, mind your own effing business. This, and it was shocking. Did you look over the other guys? I was trying to figure out, but the other guys, they were like Trump at the RNC. It must have been me. She must have thought I was looking at her when I was just looking off in the distance wondering what happened to Fiefle.

All right, so then there was the animal actor stage, which I think is still there. There's a similar thing. It's just an animal show. Then there's Back to the Future: The Ride Coming Soon, which is now the Simpson ride, which I think they're closing and making something else, right?

Are they? I thought I heard that. They can't close Springfield. I think elements of the Back to the Future ride are now in City Walk because they have an escape room adventure. Billy, I think you'd actually like this. Have you seen the escape rooms at Universal now?

I haven't been to Universal in a very long time.

So they have a huge building that is dedicated escape rooms. One is a Back to the future-themed escape room, and the other is a Jurassic Park-themed escape room.

I think that the Simpsons is going to go away in part because Disney owns the Simpsons now. Same thing with Spider-Man at Universal, at Islands of Adventure. I think when Disney bought Fox, they ran into issues where they had contracts at these theme parks, but they would expire at some point.

All right. Is that the end of- That was it.

That's all. That was their opening day.

I've never been to Universal. Can we talk about anything else? Like, anything else?

Don Lebatard. Mike Bryant's in there, and he's the one with a baby.

He's the one who's got to worry about what the future is.

Mike Ryan bet on DraftKings because Mike Ryan bet on us. This is the bet you're afraid of doubling down on? Putting up a billboard in Edmonton? Stugatz. I care more about Matthew Kitchuk than I do my daughter.

This is the Dan Levatard show with the Stugats.

I think I actually happened to Universal one time, but I think I was 10 or 11 years old, and I went to the University of Iowa, so most of my childhood memories are gone. I drank those all the way at school. This has really been an unenjoyable.

Were you a theme park girly at any point in time?

I like roller coasters, but not- Still? Sure. I don't know the last time I've been on one.

Do you throw your hands up? Yeah, it's fine. Do you get into it?

Carowinds is the North Carolina amusement park, and it's great, but it's not super themy, the roller coaster just fast. Roller coasters have become less of an enjoyable experience. Not for me, but as my dad has gotten older, he's just turned progressively more into an asshole in a nice way. He will sit next to people on roller coasters every single time. If there's a three group of us, he's like, Let me sit with the stranger so he can look at them before the ride and go, I only threw up once the last time I rode this to make the experience miserable for them. Classic dad joke. But they don't get it. He is very sharp with his delivery in a way that it's very hard to tell that he's joking. It's the whole time of us just having fun and looking back at someone just being terrified to be sitting next to my dad. But yeah, I don't… Universal, don't rocket. It was just like, This is how tight we decided to make everything?Carowinds looks awesome. There's so many rides.It's a great amusement park. You would really like it, Mike, because a lot of it is Nascar-themed. Oh, amazing. I'm in. They have a Dale Irnhardt roller coaster. It's called the... Someone look it up. It's called the something.The Intimidator? Yeah, that's what it's called. The Intimidator.It's really good. They have a Hornets one, which is like, blah. But it's really fast. They always on the commercials, I think they're making up the stacks, but they're like, It's the fastest giga-coaster on the East Coast. I don't know. What's it? No clue. But it's a Great amusement park, not in the sense of what I imagine Disney and Universal, where it's very themes there and there's more kid-ish stuff, where Carol Wins is like, You're going to get the fastest ride possible.Wait a second.Isn't Carol- That's Thunderstriker now? They changed the name.It used to be Intimidator. See how I got that wrong? Now it's called Thunderstriker.They couldn't get the licensing.They had one called the Nighthawk. That was really cool.Isn't Carol Wins from that? Isn't Richard Childress didn't want to give it up?

What are the names of the people? Yes. Where they were in the theme park having dinner. Is that Jimmy? Jimmy, what's her name? The girl that said she looked like Megan Fox.Yeah, they got back together. They got back together. Yeah,megan Fox and Jimmy. So she's like, Hey.They were back together after all that? I'm pretty sure they were.They went to Kare together?She's like, Why did you break up with me before Karewins? He's like, I wanted to ride the ride.And I get it. Those roller coasters are amazing. No disrespect for them.And they shut down the park for them. So Matt, the wait times were nothing.It was also the end of the show, the end of the night. So he's like, Yeah, her name is Chelsea. Chelsea, I think we're going to break up. She's like, You just wrote all the rides. It was just the naming rights deal coming up. They had a deal and it ran through, so they renamed it.Just retire the It's retired at the three.Just retire the three. How does Kira Wins work? Because there's a lot of water slides, too.

But I went to the nurse and they were like, Yeah, girl, you were just... It's really hot. And so they gave me food, and then I went on the ride.It was so embarrassing. Eight years ago, I have a cousin-in-law, John. He's very cheap. And I made a deal with him. We went to Bush Gardens, and I said, Tell you what, I'll pay for your ticket if when you get inside, they can paint your face, and I choose what they paint your face with. He's like, Deal. He didn't hesitate. He took the deal. So we get inside. I get his face painted like a Cheetah. He passes out because the son has to get medical attention. There's a Cheetah. Let me see if I could find the photo of all the pain on his face. He was 34 at the time, and he just had all this Cheetah pain.

Now, that is a core memory. Glenn Powell, are we just at the beginning of the Intimidator ride? Are Are we at the middle?I'm not sure exactly where we're at. I know we have four upcoming projects, according to IMDb, and the descriptions of each of them are very different. I'm going to bring these to you with whatever co-stars are apparently linked to them. One is called Huntington, a young man hatches a murderous plot to inherit his family's wealth, starring Glenn Powell and Margaret Quale.It'd be great if that's Paddington 4, where she was a nemesis.Then we have Monsanto, Young attorney, Brent Wiesner, played by Powell, takes on a case against Monsanto on behalf of groundskeeper Dwayne Lee Johnson. Dwayne Johnson.That's the only one way this movie goes.Who used the company He's a weed killer, Roundup, and developed cancer despite Monsanto's toxicologist testifying to roundup safety. That Dwayne Lee Johnson is played by Anthony Macky. Laura Dern will also be in this movie.I love Laura Dern. That's like a male Erin Brockovich.You guys are really going to like this one. This one's called Chad Power, a disgraced college quarterback named Russ Holladay disguises himself as Chad Power and walks onto a struggling Southern football team to revive his football career.This is a TV show.Starring Glenn Powell and Steve Zahn. That's a TV show.Steve Zahn.Tv show. You're right. That is a TV series.Lucy, that's the Eli Manning character, right?It was the Eli Manning character. It was like a sports center thing, I think, where he was Chad Power dressed up in a disguise and and tried out for the Penn State football team. It was just Eli Manning.God, they need a quarterback.Yeah. I actually remember seeing the tweet that they were making a movie out of this or a TV show, whatever they're doing with Glenn Powell. But it's based off of a funny little sketch.Is this the Sudeckis thing? It was just like, he did a thing for NBC, and now we're going to make a show out of it.That's a good point. You went to the very top of the heap. That worked out.I know. I'm just saying that that's crazy, that that's how that came to be. The last one is written by Stephen King and Edgar Wright, directed by Edgar Wright, The Running Man, the Futuristic United States of 2025, the World has become a dystopia.What? They're making a Running Man movie. But it's in 2025.Yeah, for real. This is like two years away. It's the Futuristic World, but there's no release date. It's already 2024. We got to go 2055. We got to imagine they're going to push it a little bit.No, I like that they wouldn't push it. I hate that. Let's clean up the mess. Running Man was this dystopian future. Let's acknowledge the fact that, no, you're wrong. In just 12 months time, everything is going to become Running Man.It is funny how movies from the '90s, when they talk about 2022, it looks like the Jetsons.Monsanto, we can agree, is them He's trying to grab some trophies with that one, right?I love a good courtroom drama. For sure. Who's going to play the Richard Dawson character in this new Running Man?No one cast as of yet. The only person linked is Gun Powell.How about Matt Gates from two days ago?Yeah.So we got... That was a lot of movie segments, really. And we're going to take a break from that in the next segment with David Samson. I'm sorry. Look, man, like I said, it's been a week. I'm just trying to keep this one light. It's been exhausting. Hey, let's have a timeline cleanser. I want to do too quickly with the time that we have left. Show this video of Matthew Kchuck taking the Stanley Cup around St. Louis. And also I want to show this photo so I could blow your minds with the stat of the day quickly, if I can. So Matthew Kchuck, I found out in Tahoe, it was very important to him to take this Stanley Cup to his hometown in St. Louis. And there were all these adorable videos. He went to his elementary school, he went to his local fire department, he went to his local police Department. He actually went to a brewery as well. Do we have the video of Matthew Kchuck and the student? This is just wholesome content. Do we have that? We do not. All right, do we have the photo of Matthew Kchuck with a Heisman Trophy?Do we have that?Maybe. We have a photo right here of him in a school. All right.Thank you. The frustrations do get amplified when you're in front of this microphone, so I feel Dan a little bit there. Hey, it's Mike Ryan, and man, it's a hot one, as Rob Thomas famously said. I know summertime means pool and backyard time. In some parts of the country, it might be too hot for that. So if you're going to be out there, be careful. Hydrate yourself, have some water, and also have a Miller light, because Miller light makes summertime Miller time, whether you're grilling over an open flame or out there on a charcoal grill. Listen, man, I don't know what the best way is to actually grill meat. I just know that when I'm doing my grilling, it's a lot better when I have a Miller light, because Miller light keeps things simple. Undebatable quality, and it tastes as great as your barbecue. The original light beer since 1975, and a perfect companion for grillmasters or want to be grillmasters all across America. With a Miller light in your hand, drilling doesn't just taste great. It tastes like Miller time. To get Miller Light delivered right to your door, visit millerlight. Com/dan, or you can find it pretty much anywhere that sells beer.Celebrate responsibly.

rocket. It was just like, This is how tight we decided to make everything?

Carowinds looks awesome. There's so many rides.

It's a great amusement park. You would really like it, Mike, because a lot of it is Nascar-themed. Oh, amazing. I'm in. They have a Dale Irnhardt roller coaster. It's called the... Someone look it up. It's called the something.

The Intimidator? Yeah, that's what it's called. The Intimidator.

It's really good. They have a Hornets one, which is like, blah. But it's really fast. They always on the commercials, I think they're making up the stacks, but they're like, It's the fastest giga-coaster on the East Coast. I don't know. What's it? No clue. But it's a Great amusement park, not in the sense of what I imagine Disney and Universal, where it's very themes there and there's more kid-ish stuff, where Carol Wins is like, You're going to get the fastest ride possible.

Wait a second.

Isn't Carol- That's Thunderstriker now? They changed the name.

It used to be Intimidator. See how I got that wrong? Now it's called Thunderstriker.

They couldn't get the licensing.

They had one called the Nighthawk. That was really cool.

Isn't Carol Wins from that? Isn't Richard Childress didn't want to give it up? Well, I mean, that's a whole thing with the family anyways.

Isn't Carowinds where these two people broke up on Love is Blind? Does anybody else remember that? Yes. It is. What are the names of the people? Yes. Where they were in the theme park having dinner. Is that Jimmy? Jimmy, what's her name? The girl that said she looked like Megan Fox.

Yeah, they got back together. They got back together. Yeah,megan Fox and Jimmy. So she's like, Hey.

They were back together after all that? I'm pretty sure they were.

They went to Kare together?

She's like, Why did you break up with me before Karewins? He's like, I wanted to ride the ride.

And I get it. Those roller coasters are amazing. No disrespect for them.

And they shut down the park for them. So Matt, the wait times were nothing.

It was also the end of the show, the end of the night. So he's like, Yeah, her name is Chelsea. Chelsea, I think we're going to break up. She's like, You just wrote all the rides. It was just the naming rights deal coming up. They had a deal and it ran through, so they renamed it.

Just retire the It's retired at the three.

Just retire the three. How does Kira Wins work? Because there's a lot of water slides, too. Is it separate? You pay them money and then they give you a ticket to walk in. No, but is it separate tickets for the water park and then the roller coaster park? Or what do you do?

I believe so. I think you have to get a separate ticket for the water part of it. But we never did that that often. There's a separate water park in Greensboro, which is about an hour plus away. So a lot of people would go to that. That's wet and wild. Carowinds was more for the roller coasters, and it was a really great amusement park to go to growing up because it really is just about fast roller coasters.

Can we, video team, if we can find what the Intimidator looked like back in its day, back before they ruined everything.

It was a really great ride.

Did it have Good Wrench stickers everywhere?

It was red.

Red?

The car is probably black. The car looks like Dale's car.

It was so fun. No, it was a really... They do a good job with making the roller coasters really, really fast and more like, real chic car.

You seem to have some what feels like a steering wheel. You're sitting, but you have something here.

That's dope because the new Harry Potter ride where you can pick the motorcycle or the side car.

The Hagrid ride, it's spectacular.

Yeah, I picked the...

Being on the motorcycle is the best part. You don't want to be in the side car.

Pick the Big Hog. Yeah, pick the big hog.

I have a dumb question for you, Lucy. So Down here, the theme parks are open year-round, but I know nationally, there's seasonal parks. Is Carole Wins a seasonal park? Is it year-round? Because I went one time to Gatlinburg, and Dollywood was close to Gatlinburg, but Dollywood was seasonal, so it was closed.

I think it's year-round, but I'm not 100% positive. North Carolina, the weather is good for a good chunk of the year. It'll be not fun from November to February. But even then, North Carolina, you get so many random days where it's like, Oh, man, it snowed seven inches, and the next day, it's 70 degrees. So I think it's... I don't know. I don't know why I even tried to answer that question.

I don't know the answer. November to February, that you say is the bad time, is the good time to go to theme parks here because it's so hot the rest of the year around where you don't want to go. After March, mid-March, April, until almost mid-November, you don't really want to go to theme parks very long down here.

I'll be there in two weeks, and I'm dreading how hot it's going to be.

It's going to be incredibly hot. They've thrown up a photo of the Intimidator, and I guess they didn't want to give Good Wrench the free pub. So it's the black paint scheme. They gave Chevy some love. You get Dale Irnhardt senior's signature on it, but no Good Wrench paint scheme on that. Was there a second car that had the Wrangler scheme? No?

No, but it is an intimidating ride. And speaking of it, being very hot at an amusement park. Rubbing his race. One time, we went there in July, and it was really, really hot. And this was just as the Intimidator opened. So the lines were super long, and I got right up to the front, and I passed out, and they wouldn't let me on the ride. And it wasn't because I was nervous or anything. It was just because it was so hot and it was so embarrassing because they opened the gates for us to get on the ride, and I'm like, Hell, yeah. And immediately, I hit the ground.

You passed out?

I passed out. I'm not going to lie, I probably wouldn't let you ride either.

I'd just be afraid.

It seems like a liability, honestly.

They shouldn't let me on. But I went to the nurse and they were like, Yeah, girl, you were just... It's really hot. And so they gave me food, and then I went on the ride.

It was so embarrassing. Eight years ago, I have a cousin-in-law, John. He's very cheap. And I made a deal with him. We went to Bush Gardens, and I said, Tell you what, I'll pay for your ticket if when you get inside, they can paint your face, and I choose what they paint your face with. He's like, Deal. He didn't hesitate. He took the deal. So we get inside. I get his face painted like a Cheetah. He passes out because the son has to get medical attention. There's a Cheetah. Let me see if I could find the photo of all the pain on his face. He was 34 at the time, and he just had all this Cheetah pain. It was like when we were stopping for lunch, it was a scary thing at first. Whenever somebody passes out, you're always fear in the worst. But he popped right back up like, What happened? And he had to receive medical treatment.

Why am I sweating?

He had to keep it the entire day. And because he was so dehydrated, he had to go into a CVS with all that smeared Cheetah. Now, that is a core memory. Glenn Powell, are we just at the beginning of the Intimidator ride? Are Are we at the middle?

I'm not sure exactly where we're at. I know we have four upcoming projects, according to IMDb, and the descriptions of each of them are very different. I'm going to bring these to you with whatever co-stars are apparently linked to them. One is called Huntington, a young man hatches a murderous plot to inherit his family's wealth, starring Glenn Powell and Margaret Quale.

It'd be great if that's Paddington 4, where she was a nemesis.

Then we have Monsanto, Young attorney, Brent Wiesner, played by Powell, takes on a case against Monsanto on behalf of groundskeeper Dwayne Lee Johnson. Dwayne Johnson.

That's the only one way this movie goes.

Who used the company He's a weed killer, Roundup, and developed cancer despite Monsanto's toxicologist testifying to roundup safety. That Dwayne Lee Johnson is played by Anthony Macky. Laura Dern will also be in this movie.

I love Laura Dern. That's like a male Erin Brockovich.

You guys are really going to like this one. This one's called Chad Power, a disgraced college quarterback named Russ Holladay disguises himself as Chad Power and walks onto a struggling Southern football team to revive his football career.

This is a TV show.

Starring Glenn Powell and Steve Zahn. That's a TV show.

Steve Zahn.

Tv show. You're right. That is a TV series.

Lucy, that's the Eli Manning character, right?

It was the Eli Manning character. It was like a sports center thing, I think, where he was Chad Power dressed up in a disguise and and tried out for the Penn State football team. It was just Eli Manning.

God, they need a quarterback.

Yeah. I actually remember seeing the tweet that they were making a movie out of this or a TV show, whatever they're doing with Glenn Powell. But it's based off of a funny little sketch.

Is this the Sudeckis thing? It was just like, he did a thing for NBC, and now we're going to make a show out of it.

That's a good point. You went to the very top of the heap. That worked out.

It is funny how movies from the '90s, when they talk about 2022, it looks like the Jetsons.

Monsanto, we can agree, is them He's trying to grab some trophies with that one, right?

I love a good courtroom drama. For sure. Who's going to play the Richard Dawson character in this new Running Man?

No one cast as of yet. The only person linked is Gun Powell.

How about Matt Gates from two days ago?

Yeah.

So we got... That was a lot of movie segments, really. And we're going to take a break from that in the next segment with David Samson. I'm sorry. Look, man, like I said, it's been a week. I'm just trying to keep this one light. It's been exhausting. Hey, let's have a timeline cleanser. I want to do too quickly with the time that we have left.
