There is so much going on right now. We felt like we just needed to talk about it all.

Hello and welcome to a tick to the mouse. Today is Sunday, August 24th. You're listening to episode number 722.

And this is Beacon Barrel and all the other craziness. Hey, everybody, Dan and Leslie here.

Thanks for joining us today.

Yeah.

So I feel like this is kind of almost a one about nothing.

There was just like this hodgepodge of things we wanted to talk about.

And we were like, all right, fine.

We'll just kind of throw it all together.

We're just going to like compile it all.

So we don't have a huge outline of any particular topic on this one.

So bear with us as we get through all of the things that we're doing, all the thing that's

going around right now with theme parks and food and special events and booking things and cruises and all kinds of stuff. We'll get to it. Yes. So I mean, it's just, honestly, I kind of think these are some of the most fun ones because it's like no agenda. It's just our nonsense. Well, before we get into too much nonsense, do we have, we're going to work the

news into the episode as we go, but do we have a review? We do. And this one is titled

Delightful and Informative. Okay. I like you already that you call us delightful. So this is from

Jersey Bookworm. It says, thank you so much for your delightful and informative podcast. I haven't been to Disney

since before the pandemic. So it's great to live vicariously through your Disney descriptions

and Universal Studios stories. You have delightful banner and a lovely rapport and you make me so

excited to dream about a future family vacation. I love that. Thank you so much. I don't normally think of myself as delightful, but I'll take it.

Delightful. Maybe you're delightful and I'm informative or no.

I don't know. I think we're both delightful. And informative. And informative.

Okay. So shout out to us, I guess, because yesterday was 22 years of marriage for the two of us. I was two crazy kids, this little experiment. Made it through another year. I know. She kept me around. Are you going to keep me one more? I don't know. It's touch and go. Well, that's sad. I'm just kidding. So we decided to take Jennings. So Aiden is back in college. So he spent the weekend in his dorms over there. He's actually working on weekends as a team member at Universal. He is inside of the Simpsons quick service areas called Fast Food Boulevard. And he's usually back there frying hamburgers, not frying hamburgers, frying fries and like grill and hamburgers and that kind of stuff. And fried chicken. If you see him back there, yell at him. I'm sure he'll love it. I'm sure his bosses will love it too. I'm sure. He would absolutely love it. Anyway, so he's in the taco truck. I think that's only happened once. Yeah, he was in our one weekend twice, but usually he's in Fast Food Boulevard.
