Halloween Horror Nights, Universal's Tribute Store, and Movies & Snacks from our Childhood! 

Nick: “could it have been PBS?” Tim: “No.” Fact check: Barney 100% did air on PBS in the 90’s 😂. Gotta love Tim’s commitment to his answers despite repeatedly mentioning he has a bad memory lolol

2nd grade teacher here! The change from 2nd to 3rd is big and a lot of people don't understand why. Like you said Nick a lot of emotional experiences happen but also the content shifts from learning to read to reading to learn. So happy Luke is standing up for himself and he has such a great support system. Thanks Nick and Tim for always keeping it honest with your feelings and your lives ♥

Just wanted to say Happy Memorial Day and thank you to everyone who has served to protect our country in the past & present!! 🇺🇸❤

Pork chops and apple sauce reminds me of The Brady Bunch haha

Tim, you really need to do a classic movie weekend with Nick! I can't believe he hasn't seen Beetlejuice!!!😮

When Tim looked at Nick and took a deep breath, I felt that 😅😂

TIM: Land Before Time, The Never Ending Story, Labyrinth… classic our generation kid movies!!!! Plus all the Disney ones.

Some iconic movies from my childhood... Problem Child, Drop Dead Fred, The Mighty Ducks, Ninja Turtles, Homeward Bound, Free Willy, The Witches, Three Men and a Baby, Look Who's Talking, My girl, Little Monsters.

80s / 90s kids movies: Land before time, Honey I shrunk the kids, An American Tail, Karate Kid, The Little Mermaid. My Girl, Mrs Doubtfire

Pulling off all the chocolate layers of the Swiss rolls before eating, brings back so many childhood memories+

I’m around the same age as Tim and I can’t think of kids movie either from our childhood. I remember the ninja turtles movies being a big deal to see in theaters. The sandlot was one of my favorite growing up. I agree with Nick we watched a lot of things as kids that were probably for older people.

Yes Nick! As a parent of a 3rd grader who is almost done with the school year, there was a huge jump from 2nd to 3rd grade in so many different ways! The school work was harder, more responsibility was put on the students, first time really having homework, first time for standardized testing in our state, started maturing in different ways, emotions being experienced in new and different ways, etc. So many things!!

I was an extra in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, can’t wait for it to come out. Was an awesome experience. I hope I can spot myself!

32:06 The irony of Tim saying Jurassic Park came out in '92 when it literally says on his top 1993 😂😂

40:18 The movie talk should become a regular topic. Tim and Nick should draw up a list for each other of movies, and each week they should (attempt to find time) find time to watch one and give a brief review and share thoughts. It’s always funny to hear “how have you never seen ### before” (or words to that effect).

We def watched stuff that was more adult themed. I remember watching all the old school Batman’s, Pretty Woman, Milk Money, Blank Check, and the Mghty Ducks.

Nick!! I always put chips on my sandwiches or fries. Whichever is available but I agree, I love the extra crunch

My youngest is about to finish 3rd grade and it’s such a shift! She’s so much more independent and her confidence has soared!!!! It’s like they are little teenagers trapped in kid bodies ❤

This may already be in the comments, but, for Tim, Gremlins was a kids’ movie. It was only rated PG, which has always blown my mind because Gremlins 2 was PG-13. The first Gremlins always scared me worse (I was born in 1981), while the second one was funny. The part at the end when he tells you to check under your bed always freaked me out. 😂

I’m 44 and can feel Tim’s pain time and time again…no Airplane or Naked Gun Nick??? 😂🤯

You two talking about camp rock and all the various actors and actresses brought the BIGGEST dad energy 😂

Nick - huge jump from second to third grade. My son is finishing up third grade in SC and this was the first year he's had "real" letter grades. They also start GT classes (gifted and talented, which I really wish was called something different) which has added a whole different homework and studying element. The journey of emotions this year was on another level (and super different than it was for my daughter). Third grade has also been when he's found a really tight group of best buddies within his class, which has been so fun to experience. Hope y'all have a relaxing summer!

Nick, I’m with you. I will never want to go to any of the haunted houses. Lol

Yes Nick you’re right. I worked elementary school for many years and it is a large jump from second to third grade. What a great dad Luke and Ethan have. 19:59

Freaky Friday is also a remake! The 70s version is awesome.

I was born in the 70's and grew up in the 80's and we had THE BEST movies and music throughout the 80's 😎

Mom of 5 kids here and I have had two so far that have leveled up past 3rd grade and there is a HUGE shift in their childhood from 2nd to 3rd grade. They still feel like a little kid in second grade. They level up in many ways from 2nd to 3rd. They start reading to learn instead of learning to read. They have a lot of growth spurts and their emotional mind grows a lot that year, they feel things in a more grown up way than they did before. I understand what you are saying. I also have a 2nd grader going to 3rd grade this summer and it is a bittersweet moment in time. ❤

Comment for Nick about 3rd grade: I’ve taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Third grade is a big difference from K-2. Second is a relatively easy year. First was my favorite to teach, but also the year of the most “new’ things that are learned to be able to learn everything else. Both 1st and 3rd are years of big changes. And middle of 3rd is a time of the switch from primary grades into intermediate grades. He’ll do fine with supportive parents and a good teacher. Especially if you are aware going into the school year. Enjoy the rest of the summer.

My Dad used to be in radio/show biz and he worked with Steve Martin.

Barney was 100% on PBS.

“Yo, get your kid under control” is the realest sentence ever 😂😂❤❤❤❤ Seriously , sucks the little guy has to deal with bullying already 🤦🏼‍♀️Great thing mama bear works there 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Nick you have so many movies to watch!!! 😂❤❤

I have 3 older kids and all 3 have had bullies - and all 3 ended up friends, or at least positive acquaintances with those (previous) bullies. I, on the other hand, still have a hard time letting go of that. I am glad they are great at forgiving and I'm really glad those kids have grown and changed. But hurting my kids is hard for me to recover from.

As a 41 year old, Nick makes me feel soooooooo old!!!! 😂😂😂😂

I was a parent at the Barney Show at Universal with our son and there were definitely LEAVES :)

Nick I feel the exact same way about HHN too =]

I’m a year or 2 younger than Tim and I kind of feel like the kids movies were a little more adult. We had movies like Home Alone but I grew up in the Video store era and remember just renting a ton of comedies and action films because my parents didn’t really care what I watched. I remember seeing major blockbusters in the theaters a lot as a kid in the 90s like Twister, Independence Day, Men in Black, Jurassic Park…

Nick- I hope the ring bologna you were referring to was Koegels!!😊

I felt a big difference between kindergarten and 1st grade. Kindergarten felt little and still the very beginning. I also have a 3rd grader now and an eighth grader and that feels so crazy!

I’m a year or two older than Tim - some of my favorite live action movies as a kid were Coming to America and The Three Amigos (shout out to Steve Martin & Martin Short - it comes full circle with OMITB 😅). On the other hand, I wasn’t into a lot of movies as a general rule… like Nick, I’ve never seen Airplane. And I just watched The Princess Bride for the first time a couple months ago…

I fully support Nick in not going to HHN if he doesn’t want to - it’s not for everyone and that’s okay. I could only imagine my anxiety levels if I had to go 😬

I am old, to me Freaky Friday was one of my fave kid movies -with Jodie foster (1976)!

Omg no literally 2nd to 3rd was soooo memorable for me! It was my first real connection to a teacher who ended up coming to a birthday party for me with her family ♥️ and then for 4th grade I ended up getting her cousin!!! Two of the most memorable/best teachers I’ve ever had. They taught me so much as a young growing kid. These really are the moments that shape you as a kid! LOOOOVE the podcast guys!

Nick’s face during Tim’s description of HHN houses. Nick, I feel you guy. I am not a horror slasher movie person at all. You don’t have to go to HHN. I will not judge you at all.

There were definitely leaves that fell during the Barney Show! The pop up effect at the beginning of the show was so cool too. I have a slo mo video of it, and it makes me happy.

The Sandlot, came out in 1993. I'm an '89 baby and I've seen everything that both of you talk about. Except for any scary stuff lol.

Former auto insurance specialist... 100,000/300,000 is bodily injury... If you ran over someone in the golf cart... The injuries they suffered from that is 100,000 max per person or 300,000 max for the whole incident (if it happened to be say 4 people... They would split 300,000 max for hospital bills etc). It's probably cheap because golf carts probably couldn't injure someone for that amount of money unless you were being outrageously reckless. Property damage is one amount (ex: 50,000) and it's for damage caused by the golf cart to someone else's property. I definitely think Disney just wants to be sure THEY aren't liable for injuries you caused in the golf cart on their property (though I don't think it would stop someone from suing anyone and everyone if they were injured)

Hearing Nick say he’s never seen Beatlejuice hurt my soul. Especially not knowing that Michael Keaton played Beatlejuice KILLED ME lol come on Nick!

La lechuza is actually a lullaby for babies to get babies to sleep and quiet down. The song says “la lechuza hace shhhh, hace shhhhh” also lechuza is owl in Spanish. So the owls says shhhhhh. Lol

I am so glad that Nick is on board. I would never go to Halloween Horror nights as I am too scared, but I love to hear about it.

Chunk cheese and popcorn is really good. Try a grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle it on while it’s hot.

Bonanza was the name of the show. The Ponderosa was the name of the ranch that the Cartwrights lived on

Ohh how about never ending story?

I loved swiss rolls growing up 🎉

I was a late 70’s 80’s kid… we had great movies. Both freaky Friday and parent trap had remakes. I can relate to all the shows. I can remember the shows Nick says cause that was my kids. i could never do HHN. I dont do the scary and gross stuff.

yes, leaves did fall during Barney. we kept one!!!

I’ve seen the remakes of Parent Trap and Freaky Friday, but the originals were part of my childhood because I’m older than both of you! 😂

In my personal experience, bully’s parents tend to be bullies and your just wasting your time

I also scrape the icing off cupcakes

Nothing wrong with your body Tim!!!!

@Nick. On the houses, I'm not one at all for being scared. A few years ago was my first time since my wife was wanting to go. Have to say after the first house I came out and was feeling like I had the time of my life. It was just so much fun. Was it scary? Really not nearly what I pictured in my head it would be. At times a small jump here and there, but nothing nearly as what I was dreading. Overall I left that night enjoying that we went and how we got to walk through and appreciate the dedication to how Universal themes these houses and scare areas, it is truly incredible. But it was really fun, we went again last year. Some of the houses I walked out laughing because some where just funny. Others like the Halloween house a few years ago was cheesy since every room had Michael in it. I'm like okay already. lol. But we're going again this year and cannot wait! It was truly a lot of fun. It's not so scary! :) Oh hey Tim!

I have a second grader going into third and the teachers have warned that third grade is a huge shift. No longer learning to read but reading to learn. We are all in this together. It's a crazy experience I cannot believe how fast it happens.

The most entertaining and fun podcast! ❤🎉

Memeorial Day started after the Civil War. A group of black veterans wanted to honor the fallen, so in Charleston, SC, they decided to celebrate their sacrifice's made.

The Atari ET story is one that many people get wrong. The game isn't that rare or that valuable. An estimated 2 million were sold and not returned. You can easily find it for cheap. (I'm pretty sure I have a copy. I do recall playing it.) And it wasn't just ET games that were buried but an assortment of unsold games. This is also not the first time unsold merchandise from a company was dumped and buried, although most usually gets sold off to clearance houses. They weren't pulled from the store shelves but returns to the company. Also of note is that a CD collection of Atari 2600 games, including ET, were released as a cereal box prize. (I do know I have one of those around somewhere.) It may have only been in Canada though.

A day late, but good morning everyone. Hope everyone is enjoying the day.

Nick- one idea is to go to camp with your children. I’ve been going to our church camp as a sponsor with my four kids for the past 12 years. So from day camp with kindergarteners, to high school week. What a great joy it’s been- and I’ve learned and grown probably more than they have along the way. bonus: I have become very close with their friends over the years because of our shared experiences. Now many campers are young adult who are amazing friends to me.

Blank Check, TMNT, The Wizard, Return to Oz, Richie Rich, Hook, Mighty Ducks, Angels in the Outfield, The Sandlot, Rookie of the Year, just to name a few :)

I always have dessert on vacation but not normally.

Hope you guys pay tribute/talk about the Richard Sherman from the Famous Duo: The Sherman Brothers on next week's podcast or talk about them.

No children freaky Friday is from my childhood with Jodie Foster

It's not "pie dad", it's "pee eh dad", "mercy" in Spanish. "Ten cuidado..." is "Beware these monsters, you will be begging for mercy." "La Lechuza", literally "The Owl" is a kind of witch, actually called La Chorca, from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. "La Muerte" is just as Death. "El Silbón" (The Whistler) is a folk monster from Colombia and Venezuela. Tlahuelpuchi is a Mexican vampire / witch that transforms into animals, like a vulture.

Speaking of the ET Atari game, I had a minor role on an online crime/comedy series where the McGuffin was copies of that game.

Zuul was the ghost that possessed Dana (Sigourney Weaver). Gozer is the demon they faced at the end of the movie

I'm closer to Tim's age. My sister is closer to Nick's age. Imagine growing up influencing each other and knowing ALL of both your references.

I love a zebra cake❤

I love this podcast, it's so comfy I really be feeling like i'm a part of this conversation 😂 I need more theme park friends!!

Michigan - pickled bologna!!

“Piedad” is mercy in Spanish 😊

Nick, leaves did fall down in the Barney show at Universal! I only saw it once 27 years ago, but I remember it clearly!

Omgosh totally get how you feel about your child going to 3rd...my daughter just finished 3rd! I think for me, it was knowing she's halfway through elementary school...then its middle school! Im having a hard time accepting my son going into high school this fall. Also, I agree with Nick about slaughter cinema I would never be able to do that one. I'm from CO where we had that bad slaughter thing happen in the movie theater and ever since I can't watch movies in theaters.

FYI, all of the monsters in the Monstruos house have been in episodes of Grimm. ( I'm sure Nick has never watched it, but I bet Tim has!)

The only way to eat cupcakes is by twisting and putting the bottom on the top 😊 I’ve been doing this for well over 20years

Karate kid, Boonies, American Tail and Back to the future counts

Track math lol 😂

It's weird, we walked by Disney Springs Sprinkles a couple of Fridays ago (around noon) and it was closed. Gideon's line was long/didn't have a virtual queue and we decided not to wait in the line because it was getting really humid for our baby. We live in PA and our baby is definitely not a fan the heat at all. Thought about a sprinkles cupcake but that was all locked up. We ended up going to Amorette's instead. We were happy with the choice

Rimg bologna is definitely a Michigan thing. Koegils is the best .

Little Debbies may not be good for you, but I always have them in the house because when my grandma was alive she always had them, so eating them is a nostalgia thing for me. Also, we used to always have tacos and nachos on Sunday nights and we would watch The Wonderful World of Disney on ABC. I went to camp as a kid that was a sleepaway camp. But it was cool cause they divided you by age and did different things for those different ages. The first year was just 3 days and 2 nights (dropped off Monday, picked up Friday), but after that it was 5 days and 4 nights (Monday thru Friday). I think it was easier for my parents with me because I'm the youngest and my older brothers had already done this camp for years. I would always get homesick (even through high school) but after the first night I was okay. Kids adapt pretty well and counselors are trained to take care of kids that miss home.

Popcorn with cheese is the best!!!

I used to love that Barney show at universal too! I remember the water that would stop when you walked under it.

Never heard of ring bologna with popcorn though and I am a Michigan gal!

"Piedad" means mercy c: idk who the monsters are tho lol

Piedad=mercy. So it saying you would be begging for mercy.

You guys are hilarious! The 10years or so difference in your ages makes for a lot of entertaining banter! Enjoy all the minor & major moments of your children’s lives…they grow up quicker than you can imagine. Have fun week of experiences!

35:10 Happy to hear Nick has the same appreciation for Rugrats in Paris as I do! I still have my VHS tape. Also, nothing beats cheetos stuffed into a pb&j sandwich!

Why does the Dreamworks “Imagination” show have a better premise and story than Figments attraction at this point. lol

What time can you begin to select attractions? I’m staying at Swan in a few weeks, and I want to make sure I’m on top of booking as soon as we hit the seven day mark. Thanks 🏰

Gremlins is 100% a “kids” movie.

31:36 I'm more offended that someone would rather meet Selena Gomez over Steve Martin or Martin Short... They are national TREASURES!

Piedad is mercy.
