Merry Christmas from Radio Ronin. So it was the weirdest, weirdest, weirdest thing. Yeah. Okay. Not talking about coffee. Oh, my God. No. Burping a week later. I can still taste it. I can still taste it. Oh, you can't. Not even close. No, no, no, no. No, this was not about coffee. It was weird. So I'm at home. And I'm just kind of going through my day. And it started about a week and a half ago. Okay.
Where like I started kind of having this this weird kind of tick with my right eye. Oh, yeah Yeah, you remember I don't know what's going on my eye in fact you guys I don't know if you remember this Chris during the show before you went to Orlando I was like man. I've got something in my eyes Yeah, I had to leave so I my right eye had been bugging me for a while and so last week it got so bad i was constantly like i was trying to put water in my eye you know i was trying to do everything i was giving you like some of my contact solutions yeah like i don't know what's going on with my eye my eye is freaking out and i'm saying to shannon i'm like i may have to go to uh my eye doctor we have we have an eye doctor that's like right by our house they're amazing really close and that's my eye doctor and it's always fun because i make a point of anytime i go to get my prescription checked to go and eat wings uh at red rock before i go after the wings you know and so i've got like you know i've got like wing stuff in the corner of my mouth you got that orange glow around your lips yeah yeah i've got the eye doctor thing where like better worse the same number one number two My hands are orange. I do it every time just so that he can think I'm just like, every time it's like, what are you doing? But I was like, I'm worried. I need to go. I think I said to Shannon, I'm like, something's up with my right eye.
And it's killing me. Like, it hurts. It's totally dry. I've got, like, a film. It's, like, foggy. I can't figure out what's going on with my right eye. It's not allergy, so I'm taking allergy pills. You're like, oh, it's damn mojo or rusty. I've got a rusty hair, but it won't glee. It was, like, weeks of it. It was about, realistically, about two weeks of it really bothering me. But the second half of the second week, it was bad enough that I'm like, okay, I got to call the eye doctor. And I need to get this sorted out. And I'm just kind of hanging on the couch, kind of watching TV. I've got, like, a washcloth. You know, my old voice coach. Yeah. June. June Foray.
June was always having problems with her eye. Legendary June Foray. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Legendary June Foray. And she was always, like, she always had kind of this thing in her later years. So she always kept a little dainty little hanky so that she could kind of dab her eye. She had a wiki eye. And so I'm saying to Shannon, I feel like June. Like, I should be sitting over here like June just kind of with my little doily dabbing my eye. Right. And...
I wake up. I'm like, maybe I have pink eye. What do I do? Is it a COVID thing? Where did this come from? So then Angela puts this post out on Facebook. Hey, just need to update everybody. I've had a cornea transplant. And she didn't tell me. She didn't tell me that she was going to the hospital to do this. She didn't have any sort of... She didn't tell anyone. Didn't tell anybody. So I send her a text. I'm like, oh, what the f***, Angela? Why don't you tell me this kind of thing? What's going on? Why would you not tell your twin brother this? And I said, here's the thing. You don't even need to tell me what eye it is. I know it's your right eye because I've been going through this for the past two weeks. And she's like, oh my gosh. No way. She goes, it is my right eye.
That's insane. Yeah, yeah. Absolutely insane. And now, my eye is falling. Really? The second she's going to go, wow. Weirdest thing ever. That's so weird between you guys. Very strange. It happens on everything, too. Yeah. Wow. And now it's starting to happen with Hemi, who is also very empathic. And now Hemi's like, you know, hey, what's going on with you? Like, Hemi's messaging me going, hey, what's up? I'm feeling something. Yeah. You don't know me? We're all getting on the same menstrual cycle. All of us, Ronan. Like, we're all getting on this. We're all going to start having our periods at the same time. It is just crazy. It's the weirdest thing. Yeah. Weirdest thing ever.
Well, I mean, it's crazy because she'll send it something like out of nowhere to you. And this has been the case for years. She's like, I know you're not doing right. I know. And she's like giving you a hug. You guys don't really have to talk a whole lot. I'm feeling it. I got you. She'll drop me a text every once in a while. Wow, you're having a bad day. Thanks. And that's about it. But this is like by far the strongest thing where I'm like, you know, I'm needing to get an eye patch.
Yeah, let's figure out what's going on. Angela, why didn't you tell us? You gotta tell me. Yeah, because if I don't, I've got to know what's, you know. Anyway, it was the weirdest, weirdest thing ever. It's been a weird year, man. It's been a weird year. It's been a tough year. Look who's bad. Hi, Chris. Oh, hey, there he is. Welcome back. Hello. He's back. Eyes are weird as well. Like, you know, things that really don't really freak me out about the body much about anything, but messing with eyes really does. Oh, yeah, that's creepy, right? Yeah, that, you know, worst kind of horror movie thing where somebody's trying to poke an eyeball out with a rusty spoon or something. Yeah. Worst kind for me of all the kind, you know, like, and to see Angela's like.
Yeah, like it's nothing. Like it's nothing. It's no big deal. And I'm like, how? She's like Bill Differently. Angela's just Bill Differently. She is. And she just kind of takes everything in stride. And I'm just like, so what is that like? Like, I didn't want to ask her because it was really the day of and she was kind of stoned when I was bitching at her. But I'm like, what is a cornea transplant? Like, do they put like one of them plastic gems in there from Disneyland? Or do they put like, what is that like? Don't be from the Runaway Mine Train? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think it's six million dollar man. Like a bionic guy. Zoom in, see through walls. So people are in line to quench it and she's like... That'd be so good. She's got crosshairs in her eye. Angela, you gotta let me know. That would be awesome. I'm joking because she's obviously okay. Oh, yeah. She's great. She's doing good. You know, she's like back at quenched. She's doing fine. Oh, man. But man, A, it scared me for her because I didn't even know there was a problem. And B, she underwent like, what is a major surgery? Yeah, full corny transplant. Yeah, that's a big one. Anyway, sis, I'm glad you're okay. Are you wondering for that? You know what I mean? Are you wondering aesthetic for that? Are you doing it like, you know, are you awake when they're doing it? No, I think she's out. She's got the buffalo sauce in the corner.
Yeah, I'm just glad that she's okay. That seems like it's, you know, so if you go to Quench it and you see her with that Geordie LaForge banana clip thing on her eyes, you know. Man, that was in the days of my 96. That was a long time ago. I love you, Angela, and I'm glad you're okay. Yeah, I am too. By the way, we're having like really bad weather here. Oh, it's insane. Really, really the worst storm we've had all year. It's been like the most mild year ever in Vegas. Yeah, nothing at all. And now it's pure chaos. Yeah, this is the year that they told us Vegas would be like. So we're now, we are approaching our sixth year. Holy crap, man. Isn't that crazy? Wow. But everybody always said, oh, this is what Vegas is going to be like. Well, this past year is the first year that we've had in five years that it's actually been there. It's been like normal Vegas, where it's like November, and it's what, 60 to 70? Yeah, it's really, really nice. And now we've got really crazy weather, like tons and tons and tons of rain. And the reason I'm bringing it up is because
it hit it hit anaheim in la so bad and it went right up i-15 like the entire i-15 corridor is under a flood watch from from the coast yeah You know where it splits and goes to like Palm Springs and stuff like that. All the way up through Vegas. And now it's heading into Mesquite and St. George. And to our friends in Utah, hell is coming for you. Just so that you know. In fact, by the time this episode airs, it's probably hitting you now. Because it's massive. The storm. Like Prim and Eddie World were completely destroyed. Like I was not expecting to see the camera feed of Eddie World and just see like gummy bears and all this stuff flowing down the streets. Because it was so bad. And here in Vegas, we have these kind of systems to handle it, which are the flood drains. The tunnels are the tunnels where there's an entire pretty much homeless government system living under there. And they're showing videos and people are being washed away. I mean, it's horrible.
really, really spooky. And it's heading north to Utah, but the difference is that Utah's cold. Yeah. And you know what that means. Yeah. Yeah. I always know when it's flooding in Vegas, it's not because of like the cold systems that Chandler was talking about. Yeah. It's when I get 95,000 videos of the Link parking lot. Every time. Every time. Every time. Every time. I need to get the same video from the same angle. This could be from like 2004 for all I know. Yeah. Well, the thing is, it's really sensational. The Link is the former Imperial Palace. And it's kind of central in the Strip. Oh, very much so. Yeah. And there's a hill.
that goes right down to that area where it kind of doglegs. The strip is actually not straight. No, no. It's kind of a boomerang. It hangs to the right a little bit. It kind of leans to the right. So right there, where it starts to curve, that's right where the link is. And so there's a hill there. So what they've done is they built up this whole thing where the rain is supposed to all funnel to this area right by the parking tower of the link and drain into all of the network of tunnels underneath. So every time it rains, even a couple of inches, you've got this flood system. Waterfall. That's really sensational. It really freaks everybody out. And it makes all the social news.
The world is ending. No, that's exactly. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to do. That happens if it rains even a little bit. That's because it all washes to that one point. Exactly. So if you see that, please, I've had Chris, to your point, I've had several people ask me about it around the country. Like, dude, you guys okay? We're like, yeah, it's just, it's supposed to do that. It's an isolated incident, yeah. It's not a problem. And it's even more important because it's up one week. We'll talk about that here in a second. I really wish it would have rained next week. I'm just saying. Mr. Max Verstappen. Dude. Wouldn't that be so sick? Well, the thing is, is that rain is predicted.
on Friday. Yeah, for practice. They're only going out to Friday. They're not going out to Saturday and Sunday yet, as of this recording, which is Sunday morning. So it may rain. And this track, if you, well, we'll talk. We'll get there. We'll get there. I don't want to jump. I'm putting the cart before the horse. I'm excited, though. Let's say, anyway, the point, here's the whole point, okay? If you're in Utah, or if you're in, I don't think, I think Colorado's okay. Yeah, I think they're too far. But if you're in Utah and then headed up north in Wyoming and Montana, we do have people listening up there. I think one. I just don't know where they're at. Yes, we do.
Um, but we it snow was coming is what I'm trying to get snow. It's been later this year. Honestly, like I remember as a kid, there's like six to the Halloween's back to back that I was reading like a foot of snow. Yep. So I mean, it's November. It's mid-November at this point. It's November 9th. What? No, it surprises me. Really? Yeah, the average. Yeah, it's pretty early, right? November 9th. I think so. I remember when I first arrived like eight, nine years ago, like we got our first snow in October and I was like, well, this is bullshit. Yeah, exactly. The time's gone. It's got later and later. We have the occasional Florida. Last year we had like a couple of flurries in November. We had a little bit in December and then we didn't see much until February. Yeah, it's been like that for a long time. I had to tell myself the first year we were here in Vegas.
adjusting to a desert Christmas was, that first year was kind of a jolt. Oh, yeah. But the truth is, Vegas, we've talked about it here on the show, Vegas really goes nuts at Christmas. Like, really, really, you know this, Chris. You come down here every Christmas. It's crazy, yeah. The Enchant, which is supposed to be amazing this year, the Bellagio Gardens are just opening up. It's really, really cool. But it was weird not having kind of the fog and the snowfall. And you know how people are. Your psychology, I remember things in a very romantic way, as we all do. Oh, yeah, totally. So Christmas is piles of fluffy snow everywhere and Christmas lights. It's like when Ralphie wakes up on a Christmas story. It's a perfect Christmas morning, yeah. I definitely had a lot of those Christmases as a kid where it looked like
that but in truth um if i can that's pretty rare in utah yeah honestly it's pretty rare that you have that christmas story christmas morning it does happen but it's not all that common most christmases look just like it looks here to be yeah yeah yeah yeah christmas 2021 i think i mean i was gonna say it's been a hot minute but yeah it's been a while we went through all our pictures on like christmas eve and stuff like that there's cheeto running around the yard you know little cheetah the cat yeah it's like 68 68 just kind of rainy you know like four years straight so um so i had to kind of remind myself that utah does not always have the big fluffy you know, pillows of powder snow on Christmas, right? But hey, my birthday in April? Oh, yeah. Oh, you got snow. Yeah, all the time. Definitely get it there. There we go. But anyway, snow, hell is coming for you guys. You got to be prepared unless it fizzles out like over St. George or Beaver or something like that. This thing's massive. It's big. Like we just got the front edge of it yesterday and it was still hitting Disneyland. That's how big it is. That's a big one. All right, let's start the show. What do you say? Hey, everybody. Happy, happy, happy Monday to all of you. This is the After Imitated Never.
Never duplicate a Radio Ronin show. I'm Chunga. Woo! Happy holidays, everybody. Yeah. Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. Even that Kwanzaa one. Happy, happy. Kwanzaa one? Yeah. I don't know what it is. Kwanzaa? I need to look at it. Kwanzaa? You need Kwanzaa? Way Cool Junior Chandler Smith is right over here. No, no, thank God! Oh, yeah. I'm watching a lot of Christmas stories. I'm in the mood. I love it. And he is back, baby. He's back. He survived his shark attack. Yes. He gave me a gumming. He gave me a gumming. He gave me a furious gumming.
We'll talk about it. Chris, the American 2 is right there. Panda is gone. No Panda. Yeah, he's in Atlanta. There is no Panda. It's like Ike was on this side of the mic. I know, it does feel weird. It is a little strange. We'll talk about that here in a second. But first, show brought to you by Quenching. Quenching! 611 North 400 East in Lehigh. Quenching makes every day better. I saw our dear Hawaiian friend, Nicolette. Yes. Aloha. Yeah, she was down at Quenching. She's on the mainland. She made it back. She made it back. I actually saw someone.
I couldn't. Oh, maybe it was. No, maybe it was Shannon. Somebody said, oh, Nicolette's back in the States. And I'm like, no. I think that was her. When I lived in Hawaii, Chris, I don't know if you ever went through this. When I lived in Hawaii, people would remark, oh, yeah, I got to go. You know, when I get back to the States and Hawaiians would get very upset about that because it's like, oh, you are in the States. We're in America. We haven't left the country. So, yeah. So if you do run across Nicolette, it's not like, hey, welcome back to the States.
She's still very much an American. She's just an American without shoes and sunbeached hair. That's right. There it is. Well, when I was living there, the kind of thing we used to say is we're going back to the mainland, not being on the island, even though I was on Maui. Yeah. Yeah, we'll turn back to the mainland for a few days. We're going to go to the mainland and see family. We didn't say back to the States. It was always back to the, you know. Yeah, to mainland, which is fine. So interesting trivia, if you haven't heard it on the show in the past, we've mentioned it in passing. Yeah. Chris and I...
at different times in our lives. This is the weirdest coincidence ever. Completely unrelated. We lived on the exact same parcel of property, Chris and I, at two different times. Probably within, what, like 50 feet of each other? That's how close it was. It's not only that, it's highly likely. Because the place where I lived, we had these bungalows where we lived. We had these lanai's where we lived. And I think they were torn down and new ones were put up. And I think Chris lived on that exact piece of property. That's so cool.
Well, I was living in LA as well. Yeah, I think it was the same once. Yeah, kind of newish kind of thing. But yeah, I was there in 2003 was when I was living in LA. Okay, yeah, I was there in the late 80s. There you go. Right before I went into radio. And ours were pretty old. Dude, it's Hawaiians. He'd probably put some new towel down and change the plumbing. Yeah, probably. It's the same. Put up some new thatching. Yeah. So anyway, so Chris and I, we have a lot of kind of like shared kind of environmental stories at two different times. Yeah, like you and Chris have been to the same concerts and not knowing it. Yeah, we've had this parallel life here. Yeah, it's weird. He's behind Chunga and everything I do.
I have to talk to you about your upcoming lazy colon and coffee. Surprise! The only way that you're going to get a coffee is via an enema, and my poop is just peachy. Thanks, man. Thanks for letting everyone know, Chris. No, it's true. I tried to share my colonoscopy photographs with you, and you said no. It's healthy. It was kind of like riding on the Matterhorn. Oh, is the Millennium Falcon flying out of that worm thing in space? Oh, no, that's Chris's ass. No, it's a very interesting thing, but yeah, so Nicolette, welcome. Yay, Nicolette!
This was a Quenchet sponsorship. Quenchet! Quenchet! Quenchet! Quenchet! 611 North 400 East and Lehigh. Go down to Quenchet. Nicolette was down there with Jilly. Oh, yeah. And having a great time with the kiddos.
And then we found out, oh, well, a lot of people went down there. Kelly Brandon went down there. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Everybody go to Quench It. If you support Ronan, you support Quench It and vice versa. So, Quench It, thanks for being the title sponsor of the show. Yeah. Love you, Quench It. 611 North 400 East and Lehigh. I did ask Nicolette what she got for her drink of choice. And you will be very happy. It was a chunky dough. Nicolette got a chunky dough. She got a big, like a huge chunky dough, like a massive one. Well, she was an island girl. Exactly. That's very funny. She still hasn't had that tropical kind of. Yeah. So pretzel bites and everything. So, yeah, she was awesome. Very good. Okay. Well, look, if you're out to Christmas shopping, maybe you're at Traverse Mountain or you're headed up from Utah County or vice versa. Be sure to stop by
Enhance your holidays, right? Every holiday is better, thanks to Quention. Go get a hot cocoa, not a coffee like Chumka. Do they have it? Is that out now? Do they have coffee there? No, they don't have coffee. They do have hot cocoa, though. No coffee at Quention, which made me that much more motivated to go there. Birthdays. So, no panda. So, Chris, you have the birthdays today. Yes, I do. So, this week's show, celebrating birthdays. Yes. Obviously, this show and upcoming. Right. Starting off at the very top, as always, it's one and only, it's Amy B. Amy B. Happy birthday, everybody.
That's to be the start of the list. Happy birthday, Amy. I think she's in Vegas. Her and her husband, Jim, celebrate their birthdays fairly close together, so they go and do different things. They join trip together. Yeah, I think they're doing something at the Sphere. I can't remember what. Is it The Wizard of Oz?
Yeah, she posted some things on Instagram about it. I'd love to go see that. And then she went to Bacchanal and ate like a mountain, like a mountain of crab legs. Oh, so she's already here. She's already here. Oh, yeah, she's in here. Yeah, Bacchanal is... Chris, this is like, we got to figure this out because we love going to Bacchanal. You guys even bought me a crab cracking kit. To take to Bacchanal. To take to Bacchanal. The best buffet in the world, Bacchanal. And because Vegas is kind of dipped in its popular... Not popular. Tourism rates. Tourism rates. Yeah.
For locals, we they rescinded parking at pretty much every casino now. Yeah. So we can park for free as a local, but we also get massive discounts at Bacchanal. Yeah. So we've got to figure out a way to get you like 25% off minimum. We need to get your driver's license out here, Chris. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, we should go to Bacchanal. Go indulge on some crab. Anyway, well, Amy, I'm glad you had fun at Bacchanal and let us know how the Wizard of Oz was. I still have not been to the Sphere. Neither have I, to be honest. Yeah, we need to go. I've been walked past it, but never gone inside. Yeah, I've been around at a billion times, right? Driven past it, walked past it, kind of been around the outside of it, but never actually gone in and seen something. Yeah, me neither. So, yeah. My buddy, Alex Paye, Lieutenant Colonel Alex Paye, he's been there like 78 times. He sees everything in there. Every show. Every show, and I still haven't been there. Chris, you have not been to the Sphere yet. No, I have not been to the Sphere. I've walked past it, I've driven past it, I've seen it on the F1. You know what I mean? Oh
was pissed off that you'd see with that to begin with, but you know, I really want to go. I want to go check it out at least once. Well, no doubt has extended their tour there. Yeah. How cool is that? Um, you know, the music industry is changing. Like bands, they don't go on tour as much. What they do is they go to a big tourist destination and play a residency. Uh, definitely doing that at Caesars. They're doing the exact same thing. They're doing like a three week residency here. Adele, Kelly Clarkson. And they're raking in the money. Paying off his gambling debts. $50 million debt. Which I think he's paid off. I think he has. With the Pinky Ring Club, he paid a lot of it off. Pinky Ring exists because he had a debt he had to pay off. Yep. Um, anyway, so yeah, Amy B, I hope you had fun at
Who else, Chris? Who else is having a birthday? Celebrating a birthday is Nate Dogg. It's Nathan Davis. Oh, Nate! My dude! I'm really bummed. Nathan brought his classic car to the t-shirt meetup. It was so insane, that t-shirt meetup. I asked him. I said, Nate, did you bring the car? He's like, yes, I did. And then I had like 10 people pull me in a different direction. And I never saw Nate again. No, he showed up early to try and talk to us because he had a time constraint. Oh, is that what happened? And that's what happened. So he had a dip right when we started. Because I'm like, what the hell happened to Nate? Where's his car? I love you, man. I'm sorry I didn't get to see the car. Happy birthday, man. Happy birthday, happy birthday. Who else, Chris?
Okay, so this one is my favorite haunted forest, actually, walking around, buddy. Mikey Hales. Oh, Mikey! He's our boy. He's a lifer, Mikey Hales. Oh, man. We all made that with Mikey. Love you, man. Happy birthday, dude. Love you, Mikey. He was the guy. It was him and Angela Jensen when Panda and I had the poo hands.
Mikey comes walking up to high five me and I ran away Mike he's like walking into the bathroom like he tried to wash it off my hand it was a really bad look to me and push out a moment Mikey and I was like yeah okay I hope you have a great day who else Chris okay so one more and we have the man of the myth Jason Crockett. Ah, Crockett! There he is. I had a lot of people. So for the t-shirt meetup, for the very first time, because usually it's Chris and Chandler and Greg and myself. But this year at the t-shirt meetup, we wanted to have the entire show. So we had Castle and we had Matt Smith and we had Crockett in the lineup as well. So everybody that's on the show was there. And people went through the line and they were like, that's Crockett. Yep. That's Crockett. Yep.
Women and children are screaming. People are running away. I actually had a couple of listeners go, he's like that all the time. Yeah, yeah. I'm like, yeah, that's right. That's Crockett. And people were like, sweet. I think they kind of thought that Crockett was an act or something. And the kids are like, oh my gosh, man, I got to hang with that dude. Because that guy's like a barrel of monkeys all the time. My favorite part about that when Crockett comes to the t-shirt meetups, he always be like Irish goodbyes us. Like he always just leaves halfway through for no reason. He runs away. He's like, I've seen a leaving a ring. You know what I mean? And he's like mid-conversation with someone. He walks up on the stage, grabs a mic that's not even plugged in, drops it in front of everyone, and then leaves. And I'm like, what the hell, dude? Remember last year? I think it was
up. I'll show up. So he shows up. He's there five minutes. The line is just barely kind of getting going and he jumps up on the stage. He goes, everybody, everybody, my name's Jason Crockett. Thanks for coming. I'm out of here. He just peaced out five minutes. I was like, where's he going? Did he just say peace out? I think his wife called him this year. I was like, why are you spending so much time at Lowe's? I gotta go. My wife thinks I'm at Lowe's. I was like, what? You're having a massive, there's a thousand people here. You're a celebrity here, Crockett. Yeah, my wife thinks I'm at Lowe's. That's so funny. Why does your wife think you're at Lowe's? Where are the lug nuts, Crockett?
I know. Crockett. Happy birthday, Crockett. I love you, dude. Happy birthday. Thanks for all the years. It's just been, you know, I remember when Crockett was a young guy and I was basically, you know, having him show up to radio events without any clothes on. It was awesome. It was awesome. Crockett, I love you, man. I love you, dude. You're awesome, dude. All right. If you're having a birthday. Chris, I'm assuming that's it, right? Because you said, yeah, okay. For this one. So yeah, if you're having a birthday, let us know. Well, you can message Chris. You can message me. Chandler. Great. Let us know. Hell, you can even message Crockett. You'd probably love it. But yeah, we'll be sure to get that. We'll be sure to get it on the air for you. Even if it's your own. Nice. Cool. On the air. Can I say that
appropriate. Ear holes? Yeah. Yeah, we'll get it in your ear holes. That works too. Panda's gone.
Yeah. We mentioned that he's in Atlanta all week. Yeah. I like it. It's a cool spot. It's cool. Yeah. Yeah. In the film industry, Atlanta is a very popular place. I've got a couple of times and it's good. Yeah. That's great. I mean, that's where Stranger Things and Walking Dead. It's a huge film area. Yeah. I like it. It's a cool spot. I like the South, though. I've been there a bunch. That's one of those things. I love the South. Yeah, I do. I could live in the South. No problem. The Carolinas are amazing. I would say probably outside of Vegas and Southern California. It's my favorite place. Yeah, I would agree with that. I absolutely love it. Could have been in North Carolina a bunch. Love North Carolina. Yeah. And Georgia's, you know, amazing Alabama. Yeah. Jared Cahoon. Jared Cahoon lives in Alabama.
Birmingham yeah I love Birmingham yeah everybody says Birmingham's violent and I'm like where is this like the nicest place was a nice barbecue just smiling yeah so so pandas in Atlanta do you have you been to Atlanta much Chris no yeah yeah I've been to a lot of conferences in Atlanta over the years so yeah beautiful city the very diversity it's very beautiful it's very well kept you know I mean like the food there is phenomenal if you like southern food and you like barbecue ain't no better than I'll be honest with you know yeah You know, everybody has their favorite airports, so they like to travel to one of mine is hard to feel the same Atlanta. Yeah, it looks like Tron inside and with it with a big long corridors. Yeah, everybody has like those those airports that they love and airports that they hate. I love Hartsfield. I love Orlando. Yeah, I love Long Beach, Long Beach, Orange County. LAX is the bane of my existence. LAX can burn in hell. I hate LAX. He's always had a problem with LAX. Every time. I've never been on a flight on time out of LAX. Chris, you've had a bad run at LAX? LAX is just a weird setup because it's got a giant horseshoe type shape. If you're turning in LA like I used to when I go to Hawaii, you'd like put you as far.
away as humanly possible. That's Houston for me. Same kind of thing. And then also like with the, you know, when I go to LA, I'm always working usually now, you know, like if I go to Disney maybe, but most times it's been working. And I have to go and get an Uber and you have to like walk two flipping miles to get to the Uber pickup. It's true. That is awful. And it gives you, it doesn't even, the airport ends is like a really ghetto area kind of thing where there's a whole bunch of homeless people and loads of trash and
I'm like, it's rough. Well, yeah, and I'm like, it's not just doesn't feel particularly safe. And also it's just it's a nightmare to navigate the wrong security door and have to go out of security to go to a different security door. It's dumb. It's really dumb. So I said to Chandler, you're going to you're going to be this is like the douchiest thing ever. Oh, no. Chandler's like he's like, you haven't had a bad experience in L.A. Yeah.
I'm like, no, but, you know, come to think of it, I don't really fly into L.A. for fun. Yeah. I'm usually working for Disney. So I get off my plane. There's a guy there with my name. Yeah. And they walk me to the limo. Or a Porsche SUV. Yeah, they walk me off the plane into the Porsche SUV and then to the limo. So I've never, no wonder I like L.A. I've never had a problem there ever. There's me fighting with the 19 people because they lose all of our lights for our film shoot and, you know, lugging everything around for two miles. I'm sure the experience would be much different if I were there for fun. Oh, it sucks, man. Is JFK a good airport? Because I'm going to go tomorrow. No, you're going to go to JFK. I hate JFK. JFK is my L.A. dude. I've never been there. Oh, is it? Me too. If you
I literally had like a 600-pound McDonald's worker throw a McNugget at me once. JFK. Because I dropped it. I dropped it. Like, I was getting the McNuggets, and I went to check them to make sure they were right. And one McNugget fell and landed on her hand. And that made her very angry. She's like, is the order okay? And she threw the Nugget at me. She yeeted a Nugget at you? Full on. And I kind of flinched. You see, you don't get that at Chick-fil-A in Atlanta. You know what I mean? They get you only Nuggets. Yeah. It's in that hallway. Some of you will know where it is. It's in the... I think it was the...
Oh, crap. It may have been the British Airways Terminal now. It's kind of an orange tile. It's really ugly. I think you're the only person I know that had a nuggy yeeted at you. That's it. That's it. She was pissed. I don't know why. But yeah, JFK's not fun. Okay, cool. The only place I've been to my entire left of where the aircraft got struck by lightning. Was that JFK? JFK. Oh, man. King Floyd in 1999. You and Chris have both been on planes. I've been struck by lightning. Oh, hair for me, Chris. Yeah. Wow. We were boarding the plane, and it was right after that guy, the Silver Fox Taylor, or whatever his name was, One American Idol. Yeah.
I remember these weird things. Oh, my God. They're all piled up around these things. This guy wins American Idol, and there's a huge storm in Chicago, and I'm walking. I'm just getting on the plane from the jetway. Boom. It's like a big explosion goes off, and everybody's laying in the aisle. Before you even know, it just dropped everybody. That's so scary. It's like, imagine trying to right yourself with all your luggage and then get out of the plane. Yeah. So were you actually on the tarmac, or were you in the air, Christian? We'd all boarded, and they were pushing back. Okay. With that kind of weird-looking car thing. They have the truck. Yeah. And they went, ba-boom. Same kind of thing, right?
And then the pilot's like, well, uh, welcome to British Airways Flight 4974 to London Heathrow. We just got struck by lightning. So we're going to pull forward again and just make sure everything's hunky-dory before we set sail in the skies back. So did you fly on the same plane? Yes, we were there for an hour and a half before the same plane. Oh my gosh. Okay, so no, it was like, uh, with us.
That plane had no power. Like, Pilot John couldn't even get into the intercom and go, oh, stash the cash into the cigarettes. It was like, it was just black. It was just black in the plane with people screaming. Luckily, I was kind of at the end of the line, just barely on the plane, so I just kind of stood up and ran up the jetway. That's like the worst place to be. Oh, yeah, man. It was like, it was so loud. We're on the can. But it was like...
I can hear people screaming inside the plane and we didn't pick that plane. Oh, yeah It was like a nine-hour delay. Yeah, we're going to the cars premiere Oh, yeah, yeah, the very same trip I have beef with airplanes right now. I have you know before they're playing for their planes, but what I tell him you flying with when I try to find out as much as I can. Yeah, I mean to me Well, we want me at my South brand, you know, Haley and Campbell on a brand-new plane getting from you Orlando to Salt Lake City. Brand new plane. Brand new plane. It's like the weird kind of steam that comes out to help you. Oh, yeah, yeah. I've been on one of those, too. All that stuff. It's got LED lights everywhere. The screens are cool. It's all really, really cool, right? Yep. The restrooms have got so small that even me, a grotesquely average 5'9 man, it's impossible to take a dump in these things. My knee was touching the door. My head was, like, kinked to one side because of the ball care. And, you know, Hayley's boyfriend's, like, 6'1", and I'm like, how was he, dude? He's like, it's impossible.
It's like that trying to stop you from taking a shit on an airplane. Yeah, I think that's true. I think that's true. I want a full report back. I'll send you pictures. If you get a new plane, if it is the world's smallest shit. Here's my recommendation because, you know, I'm massive. I'm almost 16. I've had to do, I call it the homeless poo.
Hold on, hold on. I'm trying to dissect what that would be. Hold on. Well, let me tell you. Oh, no. Because it happened regularly when I worked in downtown Salt Lake. Not with me. Not me. I would see all those people doing it. I would see all those people doing it. What you do? You drop your pants, and then you lean against the light pole. Yep.
Drop your pants and lean back against the light hole. Saw it all the time. A brown tripod, as they call it. Beautiful, beautiful SLC. That's right. Come to Trolley Square. Come to downtown Salt Lake. You'll be very surprised. You just, like, leaned up against the sink? Well, what you have to do is you go into the air, you go into the sink. You go into the bathroom. It's not a bathroom. If you're on British Airways or Virgin, it's a water closet. It's a lavatory. So you have to go in there, and what you have to do is you kind of have to, in some cases, you just got to disrobe. Because you don't want to miss it.
You don't want to miss. I had to dislocate an elbow just to get toilet paper to wipe. Yeah, I know. The thing is so small. Yeah, well, dislocating an elbow, now imagine missing. So you gotta, like, get everything out of the way. Okay? And then you just gotta lean back against that wall. And hope your pants are far enough away. That's what I'm saying. You're not doing, like, a Captain Morgan. You're not doing, like, one leg up. You gotta do what Fat Joe says. You gotta do the rock away. You gotta lean back. I thought that was called Shakira, but never mind. And you just kinda, then you just kinda do your thing. But you gotta, you don't sit all the way down. You just kinda lean back against the wall.
I always thought the piece with two bucks was something else. No, that's totally different. Chandler, you have to give it a shot. I will document every piece of this and make sure you guys have it. And if you happen to be in Soho and you can't fight, just find a light piece. Do the lean back. Do the rock away. So anyway, Pandas in Atlanta. He'll be back for the next show. Chandler's off to New York, and I'm off to Seattle. So we were skipping next Thursday show. There will be no show this Thursday, unfortunately. Unless you want a one-man show, and trust me, you don't want that. Well, it's a real bummer because F1 is F1. We'll talk about that. You know, there's a lot of stuff going on, and everybody's...
We have tons and tons of Ronan coming into town, Lieutenant Daniel Caffey, and a bunch of other folks. Amy's here. Yeah, tons of people. We have a ton of people coming in, and as fate would have it, that's usually when, you know, we're gone. Now that I think about it, I don't think we've actually been here for F1 ever. This is the third year, and I think we're always there. Yeah. First year, we ran away to Disneyland. The second year we were working, this year we're working. Oh, wait, no. So we were here last year, but we just landed. We landed just in time. Yeah, we were coming back from the trip. Got right back to the house right as it was starting. Yeah, because we missed all the practices and everything like that. Yeah. I'm bummed. So anyway, yeah, it's that weird time of year, so thanks everybody for your patience. Yeah. Chris was gone the last show, and we're going to get a
Sorry. Bonus episode coming up next week, like right when we get back. Oh, yeah, yeah. We'll figure it out. We have some ideas. Here's what we're going to do. I'm just going to, you know, people have been asking for vinyl. You're going to get vinyl. But I think before we do that, in order to make it early enough, because, you know, we were out yesterday. Everybody's out Christmas shopping. Everyone. So everyone. It's a tradition. It's going to be the Radio Ronin holiday buyer's guy. So that's what we have to do next. This is my favorite episode of the year. I love this episode. I absolutely love this episode. Yeah. Yeah. Let's put together. And yeah. So for those of you that are not Patreon and have not heard this, here's what it is.
We take items in an expensive price point, a mid-price point, and a very inexpensive price point. We have three things each that we think are really cool that you should buy. And a lot of people, you know, Jean Marie and Craig Hutchinson, I think one year I recommended a pair of shoes, a specific pair of shoes for Disneyland. And they all went out, like the whole family went out and bought them to Nobles. And the Rip Stops, and they were like, I'll be damned. Like, these are great shoes for Disneyland. Like, you're not kidding. Last year, I did the notebooks that you can microwave, and it removes your each. Oh, that's right. And I saw, like, so many people, like Tim bought a whole family then. Everyone loved these. We do a lot of research on this. Yes, we do. And I think we've done pretty good. Like, a lot of people have bought what we recommend.
and it's all worked out great. Nice. I'm excited. I'm going to take those Cindy Gilson little record coasters at Dollar General and put that in there. That should be like, we should have an honorable mention. I'm using them like that. Yeah. The bonus episode, the Radio Ronan Holiday Buyers Guide is coming up. It'll be a lot of fun. Nice. Okay. Now we've said it on the air and it'll be stolen like 30 times. Okay. So can I talk about something? Badming Friday's on the way. Yes. But I want to talk about something pretty important if I can. Okay. It pertains to my good friend, Lisa Horrocks. They're the teacher beat up. Indeed. Yeah. And I was talking to them and Lisa's doing a very cool thing. She is the choreographer for
A very special musical at Alta High School. Alta High School is in Utah, by the way. Yes. It's not up in the ski resort. It's a little bit. No, no, no, no, no. It's on the east side. On the east side. It's a nice school. It's a fancy area. Hadestown is the name of a musical that they are performing. Okay. Hadestown is what it's called. Oh, nice. It deals with the Greek mythology. This is the teen version of Hadestown. Okay. And it's happening November 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, and 24th. And anytime you can go see kids.
Doing the arts, I highly recommend it. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's how you got started. It was doing this kind of stuff. There would be no Ronan. There would be no voiceover. There would be no movies. There would be no radio show. Without this. This is where it all started for me. It was doing high school stuff like this. So November 19th is Wednesday. Is that Wednesday? Yeah, that'd be Wednesday this week. So yeah, really quick then. Yeah, it gets started really, really soon. So here's the deal. You can go to the Alta High School main office. We'll also put a kind of an ad and a QR code in the Ronan fam. Oh, sweet. Okay. And on the regular radio Ronan page. Tickets are nine bucks in advance, ten bucks at the door. Go see this. Take your kids. Yeah, for a night of fun for nine dollars. It's Hades time. That's Helltown.
To those of you outside of Greece, it's heck town. No, it's actually a very cool musical. There's all kinds of different musical influences, and it's awesome. Go check it out. Do it. All right, Bad Meme Friday. Let's do this. Bad Meme Friday. Bad Meme Friday. We had a huge turnout on Friday. Dude, did we? Every time I looked inside to approve, there was another 20, 30 memes to approve. It's crazy.
A lot of games a lot of funny mean sort of from like really yeah making fun of you make you fun of you chunker I'm gonna lie it was like that's not all men do we're about chat he's like who's this chunk of guy like there's so many services oh dude I like what's going on like it's they're getting more and more creepy like now I'm looking at myself in the mirror and like whoo myself I can't see myself anymore some AI chunkers are really really good and I mean it's kind of scary how good the game some of them are like It kind of looks like Timu Chunga. Yeah, yeah. Like the Asian dude on a can of snow peas that Josie pointed out. Oh, there's Pig. Hi, Pig. Josie goes, it's Chunga in the 90s. I guess Chunga was Asian in the 90s. That's correct. It was great. Okay, so I think there may have been some shenanigans, though, Chris. Now, you were banned. That's what I thought Chris was banned. I actually did. I wasn't even riding the pine. He was Chunga that was riding the pine and possibly Chandler. I was. No.
Okay, so maybe it was Greg. It was you and Greg. But everyone thought it was Chris. I was back, baby. It was everybody calling shenanigans. And everyone blamed Chris. And Chris was like, what the hell, man? No, it wasn't good. You and Panda were out. Okay, so I could remember who it was. But that makes perfect sense. Because I didn't see a submission from Panda. Okay, so Chris. Yeah.
So here's how it works. You go to the RonanFam Facebook group. That's where this happens every Friday. We have a private group that you ask to be led into. We'd love to have you in there, but you've got to know this. It is a lot of fun. It will overtake your life. Oh, easily. It will overtake. There's so much going on in there. It'll overtake your life, so you have to be warned before you go in there. I actually recommend a... Don't join this. Don't join it. Unless you're really super, super ready to be hyper, hyper engaged and be submitting all kinds of silly stuff all the time. It's a life suck of all life. So on Friday, everybody gets to submit their memes, so whichever meme gets the most likes wins. First, second, third. That's it. We have a podium, a bronze, a silver, and a gold. Chris Hooker.
Who got the bronze this week? Okay, so this week's Badminton Friday, second winner of bronze medal winner is Alicia Rhodes. Alicia! With my melatonin, the melatonin chunga, which is like, oh my gosh. You're the size of your hands. This is like, oh my goodness. Chugga does not have the biggest hands for a man of his stature. I do have big hands. You joke about it all the time, Chris. I do have big hands, but they're not that big. No, not like that. It's not like big, like, they look like Andre the Giant hands if Andre the Giant was also a dwarf.
They're kind of sausage-like. Yeah, they were very sick. Yeah, I mean, it was creepy, man. It was creepy. They got my teeth right. The hair, not so much. The hair is not bad. It's close. It's a little too uniform, right? But it's creepy as hell. It's an AI-generated picture of your good self on your cruise cabin veranda with your massive, you know, Johnny Hands.
Oh my gosh. And a bougie watch. And he got like six dirty cups of coffee and a switch in your hands. And he says, happy bad AI meme Friday. I love it so much. I did. I have to admit, Alicia, I did try to find out what watch I was wearing. What watch did AI give me? Yeah. I couldn't figure it out. If you're bored, go to the comments on that because then Alicia posts the first rendition. Which is really bad. It's so scary. There's so much worse. Yeah, it was. Can you tell what kind of watch it is, Chris? I can't tell. It kind of looks like an FNAP and a Submariner had a baby.
Okay. So I basically did a Piaget and a Rolex. Okay. Well, all right. So, okay. Alicia, good job. Yeah. Number three. Okay. So who got the silver, Chris? Okay. So this week's first runner-up silver medal winner is Martellor. Martellor. Good job, Martellor. Well done. Well done.
So, what was her meme? So, it's a picture of a cat and a kitten, and it says, when your child develops your sick sense of humor, so now there's two people laughing inappropriately at the same thing. It's labeled you and I. Yeah, there it is. Yeah, Chris is showing on the camera. Yeah, I thought that was actually really cute. Yeah, what you can't see is the other phones below the picture, you know, with all the Stephen Hawking memes between you and I. Don't say that channel. It's so good. It's so good. Now, my new trend is on Instagram. It's guys peeing, like in a bush or like in a corner, and their buddies come up and kick them in the back, so they just fall straight forward while they're peeing. That's my new one. We had a trend. We had this thing that we used to do back in the day. If we ever saw one of our buddies standing out of Europe.
and we'd grab their shoulders and wiggle them around. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're great at any world. I peed all over my shorts in high school once. I was wearing red. 20s in the UK. Yeah, I was wearing bright red bumhuggers. Why was I wearing those with like... Oh, dear Lord. I was wearing those with like white generic shorts. It was the 80s. It was the 80s. Why? Because you could tell it's like red bumhuggers under my white shorts. I should have been wearing a flesh-colored thong. But yeah, so then... Because my mom bought my underwear. And so...
It said Brute on the waistband. Nice. Was that your cologne or was that your underwear? It was from the Brute cologne. And she got me some Brute cologne and the underwear was a bonus. Oh, was it like a Christmas special? Yeah. It was like the 2-1? Yeah. Yep. That was so good. Brute, and everybody could see it because of the... Yeah, I had it. So it was a three-pack and it came in a tube. And it was red, black, and kind of that British racing green. Oh, nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Way too much information. So anyway. Apparently Karate came to the thong back in the day. Oh, really? Yeah, sure. Sure. Have you smelt that high karate lately?
Pure jet fuel, man. Really? No. It's like straight alcohol. It's like moonshine? They still make it? It'll kill your brain cells. What? Yeah. I don't know if they still make it. I actually did smell it. I was in... Oh, we were in St. Thomas.
Oh, that's right. They had some vintage cologne. The old pirate horse stables. That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were making fun of the jupe. Yes, yes. So they had a bunch of vintage scents there, which was, they had like a new old stock selection of jupe. Chris was going to town, man. It's like the rave days back in the late 90s and 2000s. Everybody was wearing Calvin Klein and jupe. That's awesome. Okay, so who got the gold, Chris? Who won the gold? All right, so gold medal winner, bad meme, headway champion of the world.
Retaining Martell Lords. What? She got a 1-2? She got a 1-2. She got a 1-2. 1-2 on the podium. Wow. Has she ever done that before? I don't think she's done that before. I think she's done that before. I think she's done that before. I think she's done that before. I think she's done that before. I think she's done that before. I think she's done that before. I think she's done that before. I think she's done that before. I think she's done that before. I think she's done that before. I think she's done that before. She's done that before. She's done that before. She's done that before. She's done that before. She's done that before. She's done that before. She's done that before. She's done that before. She's done that before. She's done that before. She's done that before. She's done that before. She's done that before. She's done
I had won three, I think. I don't know if Panda has. I want to say he has. Yeah, we've definitely had a double at some point. I think we all have. Kelly Brannan, now Marta. There's been a couple of people that have had a double podium, but no one has ever made a clean sweep. That should be a goal. That should be a goal. To be the first person ever to have a clean sweep. That'd be crazy. So I was not eligible this week. No, you were out. Oh, what was Marta's meme? We need to find out what we're doing. Yes, I'm sorry. So Marta's meme is, you've heard of Elf on the Shelf, and I'll get ready for, there's like a Yeti and Betty White sitting right now. Yes. Yes.
Betty on a Yeti. Betty on a Yeti. Come on. That's pretty good. It was really cute. The Yeti wasn't scary, though. It was kind of like a blue Harry and the Hendersons. You don't be a better man. Instead of the Yeti mascot, it's Betty White. Betty White instead of Tusky. The Utah Bettys. So good. That would be 10,000 times better. Then what would you say? What would be up? Betty up! We're up. Anyway. That's so stupid. I'm sorry. That was horrible. We supported you. There you go. Bad Mean Friday happens. Every single Friday waits for no man. If Christmas Day is on a Friday, Bad Mean Friday. There are no breaks.
So, Batman Friday happens again this Friday, midnight, starting at midnight. I am eligible. Oh, I think all three of us right now, yeah. All four of us are eligible. None of us podium this week. Sweet. It's on. And we will all be back. No, I will not be back. You won't be back. I will be back. Greg will not. Greg will not be back. He'll be back. No, he comes back after I do. Oh, yeah. He comes back when you come back. It just sucks. This thing is so hard like this. Thankfully, it's only like once a year. This week. Yeah, this is like a week and a half span, and we're good. Yeah. Chris, how was Disney World? Did you have a good time? Disney World was magical. Yeah, was it? It's not a little cold at times.
Yeah, so you you went during the Arctic blast. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we actually hit the Holly Jolly Mickey's Christmas party. Oh, nice. So you must have been right at the front end of that. They just barely started doing those, right? Yeah, so we were the second one. Second one. Number two. And this is kind of like Oogie Boogie Bash or the not so scary Halloween party, but it's Christmas. So for those who have not seen this, it's a parade and it's fireworks and it's what else do they do?
So they have, like, you know, the usual stuff. They have overlays, so they have, like, the jingle cruise, so you get, like, a Christmas-themed jungle cruise, which is really kind of fun, so it's like Christmas dad jokes and things like that. I love it. They have, like, an Autopia, the Speedway there, the Disney Speedway, where they actually put up, like, Christmas trees, and they have, like, manhounds in the background. That's actually very cool. I wish they'd do that at Disneyland. Yeah, I wish they'd do, yeah. And then they also have, like, an overlay on Hyperspace Mountain, where they play, you know, different kind of, like, music, like Christmas rock music.
and have red, white, and green lights flashing on the inside. So you're going like a death at 150 miles an hour. Oh, that's cool. Do you see Santa Claus flying around up in space? Apparently, they say there is like a small picture of him somewhere you've got to find it, but I didn't see him. I didn't see him. Okay. It's so loud, though. It's so loud, and so it's just really, really cool. And they only do this during the Very Merry Christmas party, right? You can't go and get on Space Mountain during the holidays and have that happen. Oh, that's cool. Nice. Okay. So they have these rides kind of specially for it. And as you know, it's like a ticketed event, so you pay between like $160 and $200 and something like $220. Yeah. Depending on the time of the day.
of the week it is and you know how close it's christmas so it's all been launched and they have treat trails like they do on oogie boogie bash oh no way oh wow but it's like it's christmas cookies so you get like different cookies or pretzels i didn't drink so i didn't know that what so you get like chocolate chip cookies you get the gingerbread with the cream cheese frosting which is my favorite by far they have like a caramel uh chunk pretzel They had red velvet, they had an M&M cookie, a sugar cookie. They had pretzels, some of the same on pretzels. But they had different drinks as well, so you could get like a punch, a cider, there was an eggnog, and hot chocolate, hot cocoa. Oh, nice. Sounds amazing. These trails, so we ended up coming back with like dozens of cookies, like a couple dozens of cookies. Oh, that sounds fun. That's really cool. And then they had all the merch drops there as well, so you get like all the one and done kind of Christmas 2025 and 2026 Mickey kind of merch. Yeah. Which is kind of cool, like you get all the spirit jerseys and the pins and the ears and the sweaters and the bags.
So that was everywhere as well. Also, you know, you get more chance to go on the rides. The rides are a lot less, you know, in regards to, you know, wait times. Right, right, right. So you got to go on Pirates and, you know, and then straight on to Jungle Cruise and a couple of minutes of each other. It's just, you know, it's just a really fun event. Also, it was like 40 degrees and they had snow on. Oh, man. Yeah, the snope. Snope was on full thing. That was kind of going on. So it felt really festive. They had like a festive Christmas DJ. She was dressed up as like, you know, Noel from the Disney movie. Oh, yeah, cool. She was like spinning in the background and they had like... That sounds awesome. Yeah, they had a whole bunch of stuff going on everywhere. And then the firework and the projection mapping at the Magic Kingdom is next level. So...
Oh, yeah, because they it's even more involved in Disneyland, right? Where they go kind of even more crazy with the main street. Yeah, because like the main street is wider because obviously Main Street and Disneyland was built in the 50s to handle a lot less people. Yeah. When they built Disney World in like 71, it became popular. It was already brand. So they made it a lot wider. So there's a lot more space. The buildings are biggest. There's more space to put your mapping. The castles like twice as big. People are going to say, oh, no, but it's massive compared to Disney. Yeah, it gives them a lot more opportunity to have that. It's all open to do more to get more people in there and do more with it. And the fireworks.
It's been a while since I've been floored by a fireworks display. Oh, really? This thing was that good. Really? Wow, cool. It wasn't that good. Aw, man. We saw half of the parades. The parades were kind of really fun as well. I'm not really a big parade guy, so it's not really my jam. Yeah, it's not really my thing, either. The food was good as well. Everything was like a pot roast beef kind of theme to everything. Oh, wow. So comfortable. Like, down-home comfort food. Oh, yeah. Down-home comfort food everywhere. Wasn't that badly priced, either, considering, you know, it's Disney.
Yeah, and it kind of ran from like 6 p.m. until like midnight. Sounds amazing. I know so many people. I've had a bunch of people ask me while you were there, Chris. Hey, can you guys talk about it on the show? We're going to go this year. Or we're planning to go next year. A lot of people, they really want to go because a lot of these people that I'm talking to, they're Disneyland people. And Disneyland, it's gorgeous. I mean, it's really pretty at Christmas. Really, really pretty. But Disney World, they do it a little bit different. And I don't want to say it's prettier because I haven't been. But Chris, you would say it's prettier? You think it's more festive?
I think the weather help would have been cooler. It felt really, really festive compared to me. Yeah. Because it was like 35 degrees. It felt like the windshield was 35 degrees. It was so cool. We were all bundled up. We had hats. We had gloves on. I was wearing thermals as well just to get through. Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, it's like that humid. Yeah, 40 degrees. Yeah. But like, Disney do Disney in their own way. You know what I mean? So as you walk onto Main Street USA in the Magic Kingdom, it feels like you're in Disneyland, but slightly bigger. It just feels like it's a bigger version, you know, like a scaled-up version.
The tree was still there, all the bunting was still up, like, all of the decorations, the nutcrackers, you know, the smell. You know what it's like walking down? You've got the Christmas smells, the festive smells, you know, the foods are out there, everyone's having a great time, people running around, people wearing festive garb. You know, it just felt the same. It's only when you get past, you know, Main Street USA that it changes. It's got a different layout than Disneyland. It's no different, but, like, you walk through, like, Adventureland, you know, and you've got people on Ariba's, you know, like, the glockenspiel kind of thing, playing, like, Afrikan.
type Christmas carols. And it works so well. No matter where you go, it just feels like it's Christmas in a different part of the world. You know what I mean? And the same could be said for Epcot. You know, we spent a lot of time in Epcot. Epcot was fabulous. You know, this is a place. People love Epcot. Dude, like, the Christmas there, all Christmas themed food. It's food and wine right now. Trees up everywhere. Just Christmas music blaring out. Just so much fun. So fun. I've been to Disney World once. It was during Halloween time.
And I've had a criticism of Disneyland where for Halloween, they do Main Street and they do kind of back by Haunted Mansion. That's all they really do. Where in Disney World for Halloween, there's scarecrows and there's just stuff everywhere throughout the entire park. And I feel like Disneyland could capitalize on that, I think, a little bit better. Because, I mean, you did a post in the Ronan Fam of all the Christmas trees you saw over the entire park. And they're gorgeous and they're massive. It looked really cool. I saw a special Disney through the holidays or Disney at the holidays. And it was at Disney World. And they were talking about how they have entire teams where all they do all year long.
is just work on Christmas. They do it every single day, and they have hundreds and hundreds of different Christmas trees that they have to refurb and reassemble and clean and do all this stuff because they go in all the hotels. They go in all through the park, and it's hundreds of trees. So you have people that all they do all year long is work on Christmas trees, and I'm thinking to myself, that's a cool gig. Can I have that job? That's awesome. That would be a great gig to have. And they showed the warehouse. They have these huge Costco-type warehouses that are just full of ornaments and garland, and that's just for the trees. Oh, man. I love that. So it's really, really cool, and that's one thing. Going to Disney World, I haven't done it yet, but going to Christmas, I think that's when it has to happen. That's the way to do it.
of the trees imagine that there's four parks there so you've got obviously magic kingdom you've got hollywood studios um you know you've got my brain's good animal kingdom um and then you've got epcot so you've got four huge theme parks i've got to have trees and the trees are everywhere so just imagine that then you've got disney springs which is their version yeah it's bigger yeah it's amazing at least 20 trees there alone all different things are different like for frozen or for these are big trees like downtown disney has like trees is a minimum yeah yeah yeah downtown disney has dozens of trees uh but they're all smaller yeah they have a couple of big ones they have like probably three or four huge ones right And then you've got all of the resorts. You've got the Contemporary, the Floridian, the Polynesian, the Boardwalk, the Yacht Club. All of these have their own themed Christmas trees everywhere. That's so cool. Everywhere. There must be probably three, four, five hundred trees all over all these parks and all over these resorts. And they are all unique. They are all individual. They're all crafted to perfection. The only way that Disney can. You know what I mean? So you guys know this. I have a thing for Christmas trees. I've never seen a Christmas tree that I haven't liked. Oh, yeah. When I was a little kid, my aunt...
was super, super involved with Festival of Trees, my crazy aunt Sammy, who's no longer here with us. But she was heavily involved with Christmas trees at the Festival of Trees. And so I saw him a lot. I just, I think that kind of imprinted on me at a very young age. So I'm upset. I love Christmas trees. I love them. We've got, you know, a couple of them here in the house and they're all up. And I would go, I would go to Disney World and all I would do, like my whole trip would probably be me just there taking pictures of Christmas trees. That would be like my whole trip. That'd be a great trip. I'd go home very satisfied.
Checks out. I think resort hopping is one of our favorite things to do. Like, when we're not in the parks during the day and we have a day off, we just kind of, like, get on a bus or we get on one of, like, the boats. And we basically resort hop. So you go to Key West, you go to the French Quarter, you go to the Polynesian, you go to the Wilderness Lodge. And they're all very different. They're all themed to the nines and they all have their own thing going on. And I only got to see about maybe four or five of the resorts compared to what I would usually do on a day off. Wow. Christmas hit home really strong. And they've all got their own thing. They've all got their own theme. So did they get set up while you were there? Were they all up when you got there? The only one I can say that wasn't finished.
There was two one welcome to universal in second, but one was the animal kingdom Which they were still finally kind of doing the final messing up over there. Yeah, you know last Tuesday Wednesday Okay, don't about time. We left the park. It's done Wow, and then we also you know like I've convinced Brent to give Disney a rest and go to Universal for a day so Universal tree wasn't finished either far from it They were behind yeah, okay, so I have a speed which how was universal is that fun? It was interesting. I wasn't sure what to expect because I've only ever done Disneyland and then I actually went to Universal in California and I was a bit disappointed with that one. That was a few years ago. Maybe we want to go back. Also, bearing in mind at Universal's now, you've got the Islands of Adventure, you've got Universal, then you've got this new Epic Universe. Which is supposed to be just crazy cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we went to Universal and Islands of Adventure and it was good. It felt like a theme park you'd find anywhere else in the world, to be honest with you. It was good. It's dated. I'm not going to lie. Oh, is it? It feels dated. It feels a bit rough in places. You've got to bear in mind that they've got attractions like Men in Black, The Mummy.
Fast and the Furious. Yeah, they do that in L.A. too, where they're putting together a Fast and Furious roller coaster. And I'm like, why? Yeah. Why that? It's an old ride system where you're like in a bus and you can't see in front. It's like things are happening like left and right in Fast and Furious. Yeah. And it's like a one minute, one and a half minute ride. It's over so quickly. And the same thing with Kong Skull Island as well. It's like King Kong and the Kaiju. You guys know I love a good Kaiju movie. Oh, yeah. Same thing. You're like stuck in like a bus and something's happening to the lefty right. You're constantly moving your head to see what's happening. Yeah. Drive through. And I was like, it's fine. Don't get me wrong. But it's not on the level. Yeah. Not on the level. But the only thing that is, and I'll be honest with you, it
This is really good. It's like kind of like through into King's Cross Station and then kind of like morph into, you know, the world of Harry Potter, basically with Diagon Alley and dragons breathing fire above your head. And I had the best English breakfast I've ever had in this country. Whoa, really? The food that was really good. Wow. The Harry Potter food was great. You know, I really loved that. We got to go on the train and it's all kind of themed. That was very, very cool. But the older parts of Universal that are maybe like 20, 30 years old now are really starting to look a bit tired. Okay. I mean, like I was in the restroom, you know, I was going to have a restroom story and then security came in and kicked some, grabbed some guy from a stall because he was smoking.
inside of the inside of school three amount physically in front of me I'm like okay wow these guys don't mess around like a Disney like excuse me sir please follow us and obviously score you off this guy just grabbed him and then started driving like beat him down gave him the ice he's like I'm from Ohio Island Adventure was kind of fun as well they got like all the Seussical stuff you know like Dr. Seuss stuff that's kind of fun for the kids it's kind of you know yeah that was pretty good as well you know I just I'll get this with it when I go back maybe if you updated it possibly yes I probably would do that's interesting I was not expecting it From what I've heard with Universal, it's very clear that the money went into Epic Universe, not in refurbing the normal park. Exactly. And so that's kind of glaring. And there's a different thing. When you go to Disney, Disney's not a theme park, but everything else is a theme park. And so when you have that gap, you can really tell there's a gap between a traditional theme park and what magic is from Disney. Disney does not call themselves a theme park. I don't classify them as a theme park. You know what I mean? Not at all. So maybe Backlot stuff was a lot of fun. I mean, like you've got like all the movie type sets walking through like 1930s New York. Yeah, that's cool. All that's really, really good. But like Chandler said, you can just really tell the Epic Universe is taking the money. I think we need to just reinvest some stuff into Universal to make it into a fantastic theme park. Gotcha. Yeah. I had no cons with it. You know
I go back, maybe, like I said, but if I go back, I want to do Epic Universe. I want to go do, like, the Masters, and I want to go and do Mario. So you didn't go to Epic Universe? Well, no, it's a separate ticket. So you can get, like, a park up between Universal and Islands of Adventure, but you cannot use that ticket to go to Epic Universe. Oh, I see. You have to pay a second ticket to go there, which is ridiculous. And then my big beef as well is, like, we have, not like, we have Lightning Lane at Disney. You know, we all know it. We all kind of, eh, don't like it. I hate it unless you're only there for a day. Yeah, exactly.
And they have their own version of that. And unfortunately, it's not like $30 for a day or $35 for a day at the busy times. It's $150 a day. Oh, wow. Universal? Wow. Oh, my gosh. Go on to your app where you get to choose what you want to do. Like at Disney, we have to choose and find a place to get into the Lightning Lane. You have to pick up. You know, do a ride. You're zigzagging all over the park. You're zigzagging all over the park. Universal, you just go on the ride you want to go on. There's no requirement to go on the app. There's no requirement. I do like that. Yeah, that's nice. But you are paying four times more for it. Yeah. I won't do Lightning Lane because the one thing that I hate the most about going to a park like Disney, Disney World, is zigzagging.
All the way from Cars back to Small World. Yeah, then back to Guardians. Totally kills the experience for you. Yeah, I agree. Okay, so one of my favorite things to do at Christmas is when you're going to Disneyland or you're taking a trip to Disney World, even though I haven't done that.
is you go to the airport and you feel festive like right from the minute you get to the airport. Chandler, you're going to New York tomorrow morning. On Christmas time, yeah. And so you're probably, you know, you're going to get to the airport and it's going to be all festive and then you're going to get to Times Square and it's going to be all festive. Yeah, it's super cool. You're going to have it like your whole experience. Yeah, it's going to be cool. It's going to be cool. Chandler's staying like on Fifth Avenue. Yeah, I'm the bougiest area in New York basically. Yeah, so Chandler's going to be dialed in pretty good. But one of the things that I love is just getting to the airport and having...
It's again, because I got a Christmas tree thing, right? Even getting to the airport during the holidays for me is really fun. Oh, yeah, because it's an experience. You're like, okay, here we go. Yeah. So was it? So how was that? So was that your experience, Chris? Or is it too early? Was it too early to go to the airports? So I'll start with Salt Lake because Salt Lake, when we got there, I had a few little bits. We had a tree up, a couple of trees up, and that was pretty much it. But when we got back last night, they had like all the like...
Tracking nutcrackers that they haven't? Yeah, 10-foot nutcrackers. I've seen those there, yeah. Christmas baubles everywhere. They had more trees. Nice. They had, like, season's greetings, like, messages everywhere and all the screens and things like that. And it went, like, the week we were there, it went from being, like, a little bit of Christmas to being all of Christmas. Yeah. Which is really cool. That's awesome. The new Salt Lake Airport, that's still a thing for me because it was built after we moved. So it's not my local airport. Yep. McCarran, or not McCarran, Harry Reid, they're not all that Christmassy.
Believe it or not, to my knowledge, I don't remember them being Christmassy. To be honest, I don't ever really fly out of Harry Reid on Christmas time. Yeah, I don't. Yeah, so I'll have to report back and see if they do. But I do remember at the new Salt Lake City airport, they had the big nutcrackers and they had a giant tree. They've got that one big picture window. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They have a massive tree there, which was really, really pretty. Was all that up, Chris? The nutcrackers and everything like that? Yes. Yes, they were. I love that. See, that's fun. And how was the, did you go into Orlando? Did you fly into Orlando? I love that airport. Ugly carpet. Oh, my God. The carpet is sticky. I think they had a huge amount of rain to Orlando, you know, the week before.
which we flew into, which is the Delta Concord, I think it's like Gate 73. A big chunk of the roof had fallen down, so they had like a big... Oh, no! ...pot awful cordoned off, and, you know, drips coming out of the ceiling. A little mascot, yeah. And that weird green carpet that always smells a bit funky. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, it's Orlando. It's a very, very busy airport. It's actually really old for an airport as well. It is. It needs to be remodeled, but I do love that airport. There's something nostalgic when you see that carpet. You're like, all right. And you get in there. You get in there. It's fun to be had. You get in there. It's got all the lights. I love that airport. It's all the Nathan hot dogs. You've got the stupid carpet. You walk into the main concourse. You've got all the hotels. It's got a hotel inside of, you know. Yeah, we stayed in that hotel. We got them all. And the movies. They've got like Christmas bubbles and stuff hanging out from that right now and a few bits. But I think, no, it's just Salt Lake. Salt Lake does a good job. I'm not going to lie. You know what I mean? I was really impressed with those guys compared to Orlando. Very nice. Well, listen, welcome
Yeah, there's a ton of people. Yeah, yeah, hit up Chris, and I really wish that Disneyland would adopt some of this stuff. They tried to do that Marius Nights thing that was a huge failure, and they haven't really done anything since. No. But Disneyland, people ask me all the time, all the time. It's one of the most frequent questions I get, which is, which do you prefer, Disneyland in the summer, Disneyland at Halloween, or Disneyland at Christmas? Do you have a favorite? And my answer is always, yes, I love them all, but my favorite is Disney at Christmas. Oh, hands down. It's my favorite, even over the summer. I absolutely love it there. Okay, so have one week here in Vegas. Pure chaos.
Lots of you are coming in for this. If you're listening, all over the country, all over the world, a lot of you, I've heard from a lot of you, you're coming in for F1 week, even though Chandler and I will not be here for, well, Chandler, you will be here for F1, barely. I will be here. I have a DJ gig, like a pre-party for F1 at Ghost Bar, which is crazy. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, but you're coming back after that, so. Yeah, Chandler and I normally DJ for F1, and then we leave for the event. So, I know, it's weird. It's so weird. But if you're coming into town, you have to know that it's already insane. You can't get around, the track is already built, and so they have to keep cleaning the track at various times, so they keep shutting down the strip at certain times. So make sure you check.
Your hotel will have the information about moving around. My recommendation is if you come into town, Park your car and then figure out how to get around either with a monorail or some comfy shoes. Honestly, yeah, because that's the best way. You can't really get around on the strip too easy right now. No, and you have to go all the back ways to get in all the hotels. I was going to get down the strip over the weekend and with a DJ that was supposed to play after me showed up an hour and a half late. You can't get anywhere on the strip right now. And so have your patience. It's a total pain in the ass, but it's pretty cool at the same time. I think it's awesome. It's really exciting. I hope those of you that are coming in, I hope you have a great time. There's a ton of cool merch everywhere. Danny Ricardo. He has a store. He has a store in the Cosmo. He has his own. He launched his own line of merch. It's right by Marquis. Right in the Cosmo. And
It's like everything's Vegas themed, so it's all like Dyson retro cars. Yeah, old Vegas size. It's badass. If you walk in like the Aria, if you're in town, go to Aria because they normally have this kind of atrium that you walk in. It's normally like Christmas and gorgeous. And they've partnered with Mercedes, so you walk in and they have like three Mercedes F1 cars. Oh, wow. And this whole shop and everything's lit up green on the inside. It's super sick. It's really cool. And the Wynn has the Alpine cars. Yes, they do. And McLaren. They've partnered with McLaren as well. It's sick. Which you and I are very familiar with. Yes, we are. Well, you know, are we asking people to go down with our welders so they can weld on all of the manholes this year as well? Jeez. Dude, that was crazy. Have you seen that footage? Carlos Sainz. Yeah.
The downforce is so strong on the F1 cars that he flew over a manhole cover at 200 miles an hour and it sucked up the manhole cover into his car. Destroyed his car. Destroyed his car. Yeah. It sounded like a bomb going off. Yeah. And one could hope that could happen in one Max. That's what I'm hoping for. And we'll have a full update once we're all back. Next show. We're all going to be back by the time the race is over with. All four of us will be here. But they're predicting that there may be rain. And this is a really hard course. A wet race? No.
Yeah, there may be a wet race this year. They're saying it's going to be very cold and possibly rainy, and that's going to wreak havoc on those cars. I can't wait. It's one of the hardest courses. I don't know if people know this. I don't know if you're into F1 or not, but this is one of the hardest courses for drivers to race on. A, because it's new, and B, because the conditions are constantly changing. Yeah, the track is weird. It's cold here. You get haboob, so you get sand and dust on the track, and sometimes the track is frozen. So it's a really, really challenging track for people. I would love to see this in the wet, as they say. That would be so epic. Yeah, I love it.
Oh, dude. That's insane when Macau gets wet. If anybody knows any of the endurance racing they do at Macau and the occasional truck racing, if that gets wet, it becomes absolute chaos. Oh, yeah. Look at videos on YouTube. Just put a Macau race wet, and then you'll get like...
10, 20, 50. Yeah, it was just craziness. I would love to see Vegas that way. I can't wait for this to happen and have Chris get like 90 more videos of the Link parking lot with just engines behind me. Yeah, it's going to be an interesting week. If you're coming into town, I hope you have a great time. Yeah, send us pictures. I will be with you in spirit. Yeah, same. And Chandler will be back, I think, just in time for the race. I'm coming back on Friday to do a gig on Saturday and then you come back after the race. Yeah, I'll be back the day after. Just in time to do the show for Monday. All right. Well, listen, no panda, as I was talking about. So Chris.
has changed it up. We will not be doing a Panda Movie shoutout. Chris has said, hey, I've got an idea. What do you think about this? I would like to do this. It's the longest title ever. I even wrote it down. Hold on a sec.
This is Chris 2's Nicolas Cage premier movie of choice. Yeah. So he's going to catch you in it. Chris 2's Nicolas Cage premier movie of choice. We're all right off the top. Yeah. So he's going to offer a movie. Yeah. A Nikki Cage movie recommendation. Nice. Chuckable shout outs on the way. And your really stupid news all coming up. Hey, producers. Hey, producers.

I'm going to have to go with, like, I would say Clue is my overall favorite, but I can't play it because me and Brent kind of don't always see eye to eye on how I play that game. Okay. Hold on a second. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I don't want to peel back the curtain too much, but I know that both of you are highly competitive. Yeah, that's the problem. Both of you. I make Clue into a psychological game, not just like, and she hates it, so. You turn it into head games, and then Brent gets mad at you. Yeah, I'm inside people's brains when I'm playing Clue, planting self-doubt.
I don't know what my problem is, I play that game and I just become an insurmountable dick. He goes, he was full Sith. Wow. Dude, I go full, yeah, I just see the dark side, but I think it's, I think my favorite, because like, Chrisopedia's a thing, and everyone knows Chrisopedia's a thing. I love facts, like Chandler does, we like lists. Oh yeah, totally. There's a game, I'm sure you guys get over here, but it's like a quiz game called Trivial Pursuits. Oh yeah, we love that game. I love Trivial Pursuits, and it's hands down my favorite game. Like, you know, even if we wouldn't play it, like, me and my sister back in the day, we did road trips when we were little, we would literally take the box of cards and then just ask each other general trivia questions. You know what I mean? And like, I love that, but as a kid, my favorite game's called Night
Nightmare was. You may have got it over here as well. Nightmare was like a board game, but you played it with a VHS video player. That was my all-time favorite as a kid, but I'm gonna say that's my runner-up and then when it's my main one Yeah, that was a creepy game that you'd play it that'd be play in the dark and you had this VCR tape that you would use it Yeah, that's a good thing with like glowing green eyes just funny and stuff that's a cool game Okay, that's a very cool game. I play Trivial Pursuit was with Melissa Huber when when I took her on Dracula's castle and it went so poorly and then my balls fell out of my own That was all the same day. I started the day playing Trivial Pursuit. Then we went to Lagoon and I won her the Houston Astros batter's helmet and the inflatable hammer and all the stuff because I'm working up for my very first kiss on Dracula's Castle, which ended up in her shrieking. And then I was just like, screw it. And then we went to the Pioneer Village, got a buffalo burger. I was eating corn on the cob and my nuts fell out of my shorts. You know what? With that level of story, I'm surprised that Chandler's even here. You know what I mean? I was like, huh? Talk about having no game. Talk about going to the italks with buffalo sauce on your face. Maybe I should find those shorts. You're gumming on some corn and you're going to talk.
What are you looking at better worse the same Okay, so what are people saying? Let's roll to hit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Three, two, one. I got a two. You got a two. Okay, Chris, you're going first. Okay, so up first, I have Becky Davis from my Facebook page, and she says, we've gotten you when we've been playing like crazy lately. It's become my favorite. It's called the Carnival of Monsters. Oh, it is. I don't get this. I hadn't heard about it. It's super popular.
really good reviews. It's like an enhanced draft game where you've got to pick your draft monsters to make the strongest thing you can do. Oh, okay. That sounds cool. And I'm like, that sounds really, really cool.
Nice. Yeah, that's cool. Okay. I'm making a note here on my phone. I want to check that out. Okay, Chandler. I'm going to go with Crystal Waco. She goes, my run-up is definitely Clue. I love trying to figure out the whodunit, but my favorite one, and I don't know if anyone has heard of it, it is called Seen It. It's a movie trivia game, and I love movie trivia. Oh, you haven't seen it. I don't seen it. Yeah. Yeah, she goes, my family refuses to play with me, and my oldest brother does, and he absolutely dominates. So, yeah. I think my first time ever playing Trivial Pursuit was the Star Wars version. Yeah. And she kind of kicked my seven-year-old ass. I'm like, well, this is it. I'm just going to go to bed. That's pretty ruthless. Like, he's seven. Kit Fisto, Ki-Adi Moondi. I
Disney trivia. You know, any point in the future, just decline politely because it is blood in the water. It is the most... Oh, yeah. I don't think I've actually ever won...
A question. Never mind. In that game. We had talked. Brennan and I had talked about she and I being on a team and it would just be like a ringer team without us saying it. Yeah. Yeah. That would be a lot of fun. Yeah. Okay. So Chandler, let's do another round here since there's just two of us. Awesome. So I think that's Chris, right? Oh, it's me. Oh, it's Chris. I love the way that he confuses only two of us. Yeah, there's no two of us. You're getting it wrong. That's okay. I'm sorry. I have dollar parents. And she says, I used to love Risk because I always won until I met my husband and now I hate Risk. Good job, man. So now my favorite game is Uno because I can at least beat him at that game. And also, I watched the Colmans and the parents get into the most intense game of Uno on the cruise in February.
Oh, I remembered this. I heard about it. They growled at me. I was like, hey, guys. They're like, hey, it's Uno. And I'm like, oh, okay. Well, maybe it was you that was telling me about it. So it was, I guess the board game room on the news, people would eat, we would all have our dinner, and then everybody, MCAT, Eric Coleman, everybody, they would all run to the board game room. And I did walk past the board game room, and I was going to do a blowfish on the window.
And MCAT looked up at me like, try it and I will kill you. And I was like, moving on. You don't cross the MCAT. So I thought about putting something else on the glass. The cornucopia, what the hell? So board games, it's a big deal, man. Okay, one more, Chandler. Let's do one more. The man who makes the dice, Eric Harrison. He's quite the board game man, right? So he goes, I would have to go with, the game's called Betrayal at the House on the Hill. So it's a big name. Betrayal at the House on the Hill. The game starts out like a Scooby-Doo episode of you and your friends explore a haunted house.
However, halfway through the game, it's discovered that one of you is a traitor and it turns into a horror movie as the rest try to survive. That sounds awesome, man. That sounds really cool. Yeah, that sounds really cool. Give me the name of the game again. Yeah, Betrayal at House on the Hill. Wow. Yeah, so Scooby-Doo into basically a slasher film. Sweet. Say it a little more. I love it. Look at it now. Yeah, it's like 12+. How much is it?
It ain't cheap. It's like $40, $46. That's not bad. That's fine. It's from 2004, so it was released like 21 years ago. Oh, really? I don't know why it's expensive. Also, they have a Pennywise version expansion pack for it as well. Oh, damn. There's plenty of actual growth in this game. There's like a Betrayal Legacy, Weerwolf edition. Oh, wow. That sounds awesome, man. There's House Pro Avalon Betrayal at Kneebolt House, which is the Pennywise expansion pack. There's tons. Just check this thing out. So that sounds amazing. So I was doing some voice work for a game. I don't know if you guys know this game. I was doing some voice work for voiceover character stuff for a game called Settlers of Catan. Yeah, one of the most legendary movies. Phil Johnson's, I think. Phil Johnson's legendary. Oh, he's at Settlers of Catan? Uh-huh. I
down with that that's great because uh you know that's job security but uh but the other thing was is um uh they have expansions for that right so just constantly growing and constantly growing see that's cool i love that all right so uh so anyway uh we got a huge response dude so go to the uh go to the radio ronan fan facebook group and the regular radio ronan page so just read up what everybody said if you want a christmas gift ideas that's that's the place you want to find some new games yeah there's a lot of ones i never heard of in there and i'm like three that i just heard and typed into my phone um okay so uh so we still have uh chris's uh nikki cage well hold on a second Chris 2, Nicky Cage. Chris 2's Nicky Cage premiere movie of choice. I love that it's a premiere movie. Anything Nicky Cage does is actually premiere. But first, before we get to that madness, I would like you all to maybe take a seat. Maybe rest a spell. Grab yourself a snacky and some thought juice. And let's have some really stupid... Oh, I'm excited. So here's the deal. Without Panda, we have three stories and two dudes. So whoever gets the high roll is going to roll twice. Okay, we'll do double duty. That's how we're going to do this. One of you is going to do double duty. So let's shake them both. Here we go. Three, two, one.

We've got quite a few, but we go through them very fast. So Chandler at RadioRona.com. And if you can't send me, send me the link. Some people have just been sending in like, just like a Facebook post that's like in a different Facebook group. I need a link to a website. Yes, that would help a lot. So thank you guys.

We always need stories for really stupid news. Okay, Chris, go ahead and give us a roll. Okay, here we go. Here we go. One,
Seven. Seven? Seven is Castle. Castle? Is it Castle that sent this in? I don't think it is Castle's mustache. I think it is Castle himself. This comes from ABC4, our friends at KTVX. Oh, nice. ABC4. I have a lot of friends there. I love you guys. Shout out to everybody at ABC4. A woman is behind bars after being accused of setting a bed on fire in a Salt Lake home. Looks like fire and police crews with the Salt Lake Fire Department responded to a fire on the second floor of a residential building on 12th South and 9th East. According to court documents, the fire was put out by an on-site fire extinguisher.
A behavioral therapist who responded with fire crews at the scene told the police that the door to the room which contained the fire had been barricaded. Castle, this is really stupid news. After getting the door open, crews found flames on the bed and the sole occupant of the room, Ashley Martinez, age 36 inside. This is according to Salt Lake City Fire investigators. Martinez allegedly left the room but was soon discovered by police in the backyard of the residence. Documents show she had been experiencing a mental health episode due to a pre-existing condition for which she had skipped medication.
Okay. Police say Martinez told the police say that Martinez told officers she felt like she was being attacked by demons. That's pretty funny. Funny stuff there, Castle. Yeah. All right, can I roll? She was being attacked by demons. And she thought she put the fire out. You know what this segment is, buddy, right?
Maybe this wasn't the mustache. Maybe this is what you buy castle. She set her bed on fire because the demon sold herself. Watch the motab for a while. Watch some bell ringers and that guy from the Waltons with that mole on his face. I don't like that story. All right, let's roll again. Let's roll again. It's my turn. Come on, Castle. I got a seven. Seven. No, yeah, that was seven. Yeah, yeah, Castle was seven. Let me roll again.
I got one, middle finger. Nicolette Turner, our favorite Hawaiian, Nicolette Turner. Thank you, Nicolette. Let's see here. Police in Salt Lake City report to a fire. People. I bet Castle was the cop on that scene.
Oh, my gosh. So I pull this up, and the first thing I see is Chad Kroger holding up a photograph. Oh, here we go. Look at this photograph. Look at this photograph. Canadian, which, by the way, Chad Kroger is, Canadian search and rescue team sent after a distressed camper, in quotation. So Canadian search and rescue team sent after a, quote, distressed camper, who turned out to be just a guy in the woods singing Nickelback songs. See? Castle. Castle. Take notes. Take some notes here from our different Nickelback. Nickelback. There we go. There we go. If your singing is mistaken for cries for help, it might be time for some singing lessons. Oh, no. A normal night in Boulder, Field, Central.
Okanagan. Okanagan. Okanagan. Okanagan. British Columbia. It turned into a site of an emergency rescue mission. Some hikers were walking near the popular rock climbing spot. When they became concerned after hearing what they thought were repeated cries, possibly for help. Oh no. Two hikers called 911.
and said that they were hearing repeated cries in the area, which prompted Central Okanaganan search and rescue teams to quickly jump into action. Canadian search and rescue wasted no time getting team members into the air and then into the area and even had a crew that were already in the area drop what they were doing to investigate the loud distress noises that were being reported. Distress noises. A drone team was sent out and two Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers deployed in the area as well. All of that, all that to say it was a full-on rescue. So the Canadians, the conjugated it differently. They're basically saying it was an all-out rescue and Mounted Police officers were deployed.
which I said, early responders also heard the faint yelling of cries in the distance that the two hikers had reported. So they continued to follow that sound. But the mountain wolves are howling in the distance. Central Canadian Okanagan Search. I think that's correct. Central Canadian Okanagan Search and Rescue say that they eventually discovered where the, quote, distress signal was coming from. It was a lone camper with a tent set up in the middle of the woods. He was not in trouble. Rather, he was very much at peace because he was singing loud and proud into the surrounding trees to the dulcet sounds of Nickelback. Oh my gosh.
Nicolette, that's a great story. Imagine being just some dude, you know, your wife just left you. I'm just going to go for a camping trip. You just belt your heart out in the... Look at this! And then all these dudes show up in their fancy hats. We're here to rescue you! I'm fine! That's a bad day. Poor guy. Here, put this harness on! We're going to repel somewhere! No! Yeah. Good day, eh? He's got his ramen noodles hair just flowing in the wind. Wow. Chad Broder, for the record, is a very nice guy. Oh, I've heard that. I've heard he's... Yeah. He is a very cool guy and a very rich guy and, believe it or not, is one of the, if not the...
most successful producers in the music industry right now. Yeah. He's like, he's clean enough. Yeah, he's, that's awesome. And the ramen hair is gone. He has very short hair. He's standing in the woods. Look at his photograph. He's also married to Avril Lavigne, which is kind of weird. That is a little weird. Yeah, married to Avril Lavigne. Okay, so we've got one more. Chris, give us a second role. Would you please? Bonus.
What is that? That is a two. Ah, number two is... I'm on the floor. Sorry. Number two is Laura Estelle. Hey, there she is. Our buddy, Laura Estelle, who came with us on the Goblin Ghost Hunt. Thank you, Laura. Mysterious sounds echoing through Nevada's Lake Mead, sparking fears.
of sinister forces. Yes. Lake Mead is a creepy place. Not going to lie, there's a lot of death there and there's a lot of mobby bodies buried in the lake. They say it's one of the deadliest lakes in the world. If not the deadliest lake in the world. Yeah. And that's really saying something when you look at Utah Lake. Yeah, where everyone dies. Where everybody dies. Residents in Nevada have been scared after hearing thunderous and disturbing sounds echoing through the canyons of Lake Mead. Ew.
Dozens of reports have flooded to local police and the Redstone Picnic area. Police near the Redstone Picnic area, which is a popular spot for camping. This area sits in the desert of Nevada, just a short 30-mile drive from Las Vegas and the iconic Hoover Dam. Close enough. About 30 minutes away. However, the piece was broken by rumbling booms that sounded like a giant metal door groaning in the distance. They boomed throughout the day last Thursday with videos capturing the noises being heard online. Really. Many viewers had speculated that the sounds were caused by fracking.
which is the process of injecting high-pressure liquid into the ground to extract oil or gas. But the local gas company told the Daily Mail they were not carrying out any fracking work at the time. One woman even posted the incident on social media saying that the sounds woke her up and scared her enough to call for help. I just called 911 and said that they had gotten over 50 calls about it, the witness said. Let's see here. Witnesses couldn't find the exact source of the echoing booms, but continued to suspect that it was coming from somewhere in the nearby valley, possibly tied to the Kern River gas pipeline that runs through. It was probably just the sounds of me drinking coffee for the first time ever in my life.
That was on Thursday. Our sewage system would clear out the lake. It was pretty horrible. Again, this is really stupid news. Not really scary news. This is really scary. This is the first time the sounds have been heard echoing through the walls of the region with some claiming that they've heard wailing voices of ghosts.
along the Colorado River which empties into Lake Mead. Yeah, it's super haunted. Yeah, unexpected footsteps coming from the Hoover Dam. This whole area is kind of a creepy area and they're pulling bodies out of here all the time. Constantly, constantly. It's a constant thing. If you are inclined and bored one night, watch the Ghost Adventures episode of Lake Mead. Yeah. Absolutely terrifying. I mean, it's insane. And I thought it was actually pretty tame considering the stories that we've heard. Yeah, even from people that we know that go out there all the time. It's really scary. Laura, thank you for the story. Yes, thank you. Really spooky news. There's just been really spooky news for this episode. Love it. Totally cool. These are probably leftovers from... I think they're Halloween ones that have been in the hopper for a little bit. Anyway, thank you, Laura. Thank you, Castle. Thank you, Nicolette. Much appreciated. Yeah.
Okay, goblins. Thank you, goblins. All right. So the goblins. Thank you, goblins. Had a great time hanging out with you. Oh, my gosh. More requests are coming in and more EVPs are coming in from the event. Tons more. So thank you. I'll be honest with you. I haven't even listened to a single one. Hang tight. Yes. Hang in there with me. We will definitely do this. I'm going. I'm also going to send some of these to Castle. Maybe he can help us out. Maybe we can do like a bonus show, a bonus bonus show of some EVPs that came from the event itself. That's the goal. So if you find any EVPs in your research and you want us to confirm them from the Goblin Ghost Hunt, be sure to let us know. Send them into us because what we're going to do is we're going to analyze these and again, do a bonus episode. Nice. Yeah. All right. The Radio Ronin Goblins are. All righty. So starting us off, as always,
Happy birthday to Jim. So yeah, you guys are awesome. Hope the Vegas trip is amazing. All right, now everyone's gonna be $50 until I say otherwise. We have Taylor Casper. Thank you, Taylor.

They've lost six of seven or something. Are they winning now? I think they've won one. Neil Jensen gave me some updates. They did a good job against the Sabres. Like a three-goal period. I think it was on Monday or Tuesday night whenever they played. You know what I love about this is because you have a whole market, a brand new market, learning
how the hockey season works. Right. 82 games is a lot of games. And you have these big long stretches where your team just sucks. And it's funny because I've had a lot of Mammoth fans are like, how about them Golden Knights losing all them games?
Yeah. And I'm like, oh, here we go. Rookie, rookie, rookie. Get ready for hockey boys. Rookie's learning hockey. It's rookie's learning hockey. Yeah. Because every single team goes through these stretches. And then right after that, the Mammoth started going through there. It happens. It always happens. The Knights, the Knights, the Knights behind, but only three points behind. Don't worry about it. Oh, yeah. The Knights won the Cup. We lost like 11 games leading into the playoffs. 11 straight. And then we won the Cup. So it's like, you know. It's fine. Yeah, it's fine. It's fine. Don't worry about it. Yeah. So I'm saying that about the Mammoth. Like, don't worry if you lose a seven in a row. It's fine. It's a long season, guys. Yeah. We have Matthew at $50. Thank you, Matthew. Thank you, Matthew. Thank you, Matthew. Her Highness. That's Miss Jessica Terry.

Hey, I need you to eat some of my candy. I was like, what? Yeah, I had to bring like, I didn't get any damn trick-or-treaters. I'm pissed off about it.

everybody's really busy and sometimes you can't do it and you know there's sometimes where there's two characters interacting on stage and the two guys are off and you know it swaps around a lot so you know they probably spend half of their time on stage together and the other half is spent either you know as a duet or doing a monologue or doing something different and it's often you know it could be a challenge getting four busy guys together to rehearse yeah yeah and they're very very trying to do it it's so good that's awesome so what's next you know what's next i do not i know i know the sandbox have thrown in some uh some requests to get some musicals pulled together for the summer but as of yet there is nothing confirmed you know there will be a licensing for it and once i know i will let everybody know You have to get licensing to do a play, which is quite the process.

The man who I had my wiener out with. There's very few people on this earth I can say that. I thought you were talking about Chris. I thought you were talking about Chris. Our wieners have not been in the same air. You should have seen Chris's face light up when you said that. He was like, no, no. So Chris is, this is, here we go. It's the Chris 2, Nicolas Cage, premier. Hold on.
It is the Chris 2 Nicolas Cage premiere movie of choice. Yeah. It's a Chris 2 joint. I'm very excited to hear what you got for this Chris. So what do we have? This is actually me trying to like fill in the panda movie, but it's a big time. What else can I do that can, you know, bring some of the joy at the same time as like, you know, you know.
Not, you know, just do Panda a good homage. So why not just do Nicolas Cage movies? Every time Panda takes a break and he's not on the show, I'm going to find a new Nicolas Cage movie to go watch. Nice. I love it. This is awesome. Okay. So what I thought about this time is like, it's getting towards Christmas. I've got the Christmas vibe getting off the plane. I'm like, what movie kind of is Nicolas Cage, but also does have a festive thing. So what I'm going to go with for this segment is from 2000. It's a PG-13 Nicolas Cage. It's called The Family Man.
The Family Man. I've never even heard of this one. I've never heard of this one. Not at all. So as I mentioned, this is from 2000, and it is a Christmassy kind of film. It's set during Christmas. It's very much of the Frank Capra. You know, if everybody remembers Frank Capra, he did It's a Wonderful Life. Right, right. Mr. Deeds Goes to Town kind of thing. It kind of swaps around. So the premise is offered an opportunity to see how the other half of their life lives. A fast lane investment broker wakes up to find his sports car and hot model girlfriend gone and have become a minivan and a wife. So it's kind of like true life for Nicolas Cage. Aww.
Except less ravens and large reptiles. Yeah, no octopus. Wow. It's kind of like set during Christmas and he's like this hotshot broker, drives a Ferrari, you know, has his model girlfriend, lives in this apartment. And then one day he has, you know, a moment with somebody robbing, well not robbing, but trying to like rob a convenience store with Don Cheadle. Don Cheadle. And it becomes like, this is a wonderful life, but in more of a modern setting. So it's got obviously our favorite guy, Nicolas Cage, also has T. Leonie who plays, you know, his... Oh, she's awesome. Yeah, she's amazing.
Don Cheadle, Jeremy Piven are kind of the big, big names. It's a huge cast. I've not even heard of this movie. I've never even heard of it. It actually sounds awesome. Yeah. It's a wonderful life, but set like in the early 2000s kind of thing. So it's kind of a fun movie. Nick Cage is Nick Cage to begin with, and then he kind of mallows into, you know, his proper acting chops, but it's a really fun show. And yeah, I think it's very fitting with it being quite festive too, because it's at Christmas. Nice. Well done, Chris. I like this, Chris. I like this. Yeah. Well done. Well done. Where can we watch this, Chris? I feel so weird. That's a little strange. I don't know if I like it.
It's actually streaming on Peacock right now, but also be able to rent and buy from Prime Video and from Amazon. There it is. Hey, very nice. Yeah. All right. Well, there you go. Chris, well done, sir. Very, very impressed. Panda will be back. Yes. Panda will be back. Apparently. I'm feeling very threatened.
Because we've got this awesome new feature. Okay, well, that is your show for today. A reminder for you, we will not have a show on Thursday. Yes. Apologies. Yeah, sorry. The Ronin are scattered all over the place, and we will be back for Monday's show. Nice. And bonus episodes coming up. The Radio Ronin Holiday Buyer's Guide for 2025. Vinyl guy. Vinyl and all kinds of fun stuff all coming up for you. So thanks for your patience. Bad Mean Friday happens on Friday. Be sure not to miss it. No. Chris will be standing by. Okay, so you guys are all back. I'm back late Saturday night slash very early Sunday morning, depending on that. Yes, you're the last one to come back, I think. I'm the last one. And I will be here for a couple days. I'm also the last one to leave. Yes. So I'm the last one to leave.
leave last one to come back. Well, everything will be back to normal very shortly. We will have a show for you next Monday. Very good. All right. All right. Thanks, everybody. Have a great rest of your week. So until then, Chris, we'll see you when we see you.
