McGriddles, a new McDonald's breakfast. So it's maple syrup infused. It's sweet, then it's

savoury, because the sausage, you know, and the cheese and the egg. Oh, it's got the golden

archies stamped on it too. Make that make sense. It's hard to put into words, but...

There once was a woman who lived in a shoe. A size too snug, but what could she do?

But that's not where her story ends.

Thanks to a little help from her Experian friends, she got her score into much better shape

and relocated to a box fresh new place, with room to grow and a mortgage to suit.

Now, she lives in a spacious four-bedroom cowboy boots.

Better your Experian credit score to help get mortgage ready.

Experian, better your score, better your story.

Welcome back to the Epic Universal podcast. It is me, Jim Hill, and we're recording this in Vegas, baby.

Eric and I are now on the 19th floor of the Luxor Hotel with a primo view of the Sphinxas

butt.

We're looking right out over the Las Vegas strip, but we are in town to finally, the

both of us experienced.

Neither of us have been to Universal Horror Unleased, which opened last year, August of 2025.

And, you know, we went over there last night. We were there right at opening. And I want to say two hours. Yeah, I think we got, I mean, we got there about 3.30. Didn't get in until maybe 350.

There we go. There we go. Experience pretty much everything. Yeah. Yeah. And more to the point because

And I remember talking to Dave, producer Dave about it a while ago, and he's like, oh, you're going to area 15. This is a really cool area over there. That's where they're building. Yeah, but it is all very alien-based, right? Yeah, that is. And they had, at the time when we walked there, there were, there's a Barbie experience. Yeah. Which was a pop-up shop. Yeah. There was like an alien craft, like, which we would call the beacon, like it was almost a little ride that you're going up and down. John Wick experience.

Yep. Giant, it almost looked like giant show buildings, right?
