Welcome back to the epic Universal Podcast.

I'm Entertain writer Jim Hill and this is the podcast where we cover the latest universal news,

rumors and history.

But let's not forget that we're also the perfect podcast for the Universal Curious.

Those Disney fans who are looking to learn more about the themed entertainment

offerings at Universal and helping lead us the team of the

the Universal Curious. I'm joined tonight by my co-host Eric Percy. How are you

tonight Eric? I'm doing great and that's right Jim. I'm the one that gets to ask all the dumb questions so that way they don't have to all right so

So when it comes to being universal curious I granted I'm gonna ask the questions that you guys don't have the access to but I'm excited as always to be under the learning tree of one Jim Hill and we're expediting my my process into

Universal credibility, but I think we're like what nine episodes in right now so I'm getting there.

We are again again again I can I like I I really think you've been doing a good job and but but I want to point out folks that we are

recording this on Tuesday, May 21st in fact what at 7.04 p.m. which is normally when I be making Nancy's dinner but but again we got to get this thing out the door so we can post on Friday so that's what we're up to

Joe. Let me ask you let me ask you what what are we making Nancy tonight? Is it possibly maybe some green cheese? Maybe it's a Shrexel. Do we have any of those shipped up from maybe Florida? No sadly and no swamp dogs or no poppy

delicious pink lemonade. By the way folks we are referring to the items that

just got previewed.

They've been doing some press stuff down at Universal Studios Florida

this past week, and the first folks have made it behind the construction fence into Dreamworks land.

And so this these menu items are things that Eric and I will be talking about later on in today's

show and and while we're talking about food related stuff you want to hang in there for the second half of today's show when among other things we'll be discussing the pink panther cafe which used to operate at Universal Studios Japan.

But before we get to any of that stuff, we of course have to acknowledge our sponsor and today's show is sponsored by
