What do Puppet History and BFU have in common? Some goofballs laughing at stories, as they're told. Being both the story teller and the best friends at the back of the classroom laughing about the story. NOT Netflix-level production value. You're racking up expenses that you never needed. All we wanted was you.

Who cares? I wasn't subscribed for the podcast. Wasn't the pateron enough? Why not promote that more instead of nuking the channel?

The tourists would like to see this show remain free!

Everyone who has come onto the podcast so far has been great, but Matt and Amanda are truly world-class guests! I had the privilege of learning improv from Matt back in college, so this was a VERY nice surprise! Genuinely such a great couple.

I mean I am going nuts over here. I am also a giant superego fan, which is amazing if you ever get the chance to check it out.

Oh my god, how exciting to have Matt and Amanda on the show! Love Matt on Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. This was a great episode, guys!

My favorite memory of the dancing cars on the tour was even our tour guide was not impressed and said “welp, we’ve got German cars, on an Asian set while some Latin reggaeton music is in the background… moving on!”

Would LOVE if Ryan was allowed to do a POV cam on these rides so we could kinda see Disney/Universal through his eyes. I am from Canada and was only at Disney/Epcot Florida in 1996!

This is literally the only podcast I genuinely look forward to coming out each week ❤

Theres a video on KZread called "Your Studio and You" made by Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Spielberg is narrating the tram tour at the Jaws section. Its really funny.

BOOGARA AND GOURLEY THIS IS SO COOL

OMG! I love Matt and Amanda! This is why FYA is goated 🐐

I did the studio tour for the first time a few weeks ago -- so much fun.

That Jaws shark was refurbished and is now hanging at the Academy Museum in Hollywood. It is awesome!

Oh good!!!

As someone who dosen't keep up with theme park news outside of the pod I appreciated the note at the end giving an update on the ride! would absolutely watch a monthly episode on theme park updates

Yay!! I literally look forward to Tuesdays for FYA ! I love the orca anecdote throwback lmfao

We best not lose this podcast

this podcast is so good yall, i really hope the patreon keeps it strong.

Please keep FYA free

Hey Ryan and Byron, thanks for another episode! Could you ask your guests if they have additional ideas for the world class test? I know it was painstakingly made, but I wonder if the guests have other criteria for ranking the rides. Also, cross-referencing passes and fails with non-theme-park-philes like Shane and Steven who can represent the common tourists perspective better? Really appreciate the work you're doing 🙌

Mystery Files: The Universal Backlot Fires

I really love this podcast. I was so upset I might not get to listen anymore! 😭😭 honestly though if I had to pay for any podcast, I’d do it for this one… I love theme parks and love the discussions you have with your guests!

Great ep. Y'all!! You are the highlight of my weekly podcast rotation and you brought the real heat on this one. I would LOVE some more coaster thoosie content soon but also I'm just selfish 😂

I’ve never been on this attraction, but my babysitter did manage to convince me when I was 5 that jaws ate somebody off a dock, and that was a guest from the park that was chosen at random each day 😂

I love these world class attraction episodes and please never stop doing them, but will there be other episodes based on other topics? Like your favorite things to do at theme parks?

Gourley!!

Ryan, I totally hear you on an amusement park being a happy place! One of my spots that brings me peace is thinking of "Remember, Dreams Come True" in Disneyland for the 50th, it was just an incredible time and makes me feel so safe and happy. Thanks for sharing, and thanks everyone for being on this show, i adore it :)

Would love more news prolog and epilog. Thanks for including them here! Love this podcast too. Hope it sticks around for a long time! Maybe you guys can invite Jack from DSNY Newscast?

i went on the warner brothers backlot tour when i was in town when winning a trip to the conjuring premiere and our tram ran across filming of a bit for conan o brien when he was on tbs

This is awesome! I used to listen to Matt’s James Bonding podcast all the time along with all his Superego stuff. Love this crossover

As a Floridian that doesn't travel much, this episode got me interested in visiting Universal Studios Hollywood just for this ride, so consider that an endorsement! Great work, y'all!

You guys got Gourley?! I love his cozy horror pod with Paul Rust

I feel like the Studio Tour is such a trademark attraction of Universal Hollywood. When my friends and I went a 3 years ago, they really wanted to skip the tour cause they thought it was boring. I planned the day and had us do it after lunch tho so everyone can digest and take a break and chill (or even nap lmao). It ended up causing one of the best memories we had of that day quite honestly. I’m super happy to see this attraction pass and this whole episode about it 😁😁

Im really glad you guys arent putting this behind a paywall. This is my favorite podcast!

The way Matt looks at Amanda is honestly the sweetest thing I’ve seen in a while

Early 1990s, one of my favorite childhood memories. My family was riding the tram and when it came to the King Kong part my dad started shaking my little brother yelling “Save yourselves! We’re all gonna die!” My brother was crying, I was laughing, my mom was mad. He liked to scare us as kids.

Is this podcast going to be behind a paywall too? 😭 I've been binging these episodes and love them so much, I'll be so sad if this is going away too.

man i love this podcast! i’m so glad i can watch once-weekly released content from this channel once a week! but, i mean, who would dream of putting something viewers can get for free behind a paywall? 😃

You know TV used to be free right? Then cable became a thing and then streaming. People have always tried to monetize their content as much as possible

soooooo excited for this episode, i always wanted to be a tour guide on this ride

I love this ride. A few years ago, while on the tram, trying to impress my new in-laws, I was hoping a celebrity would pop up. While riding, I saw someone waving their hands outside a studio stage. Being in the last car, I squinted my eyes in the sun and anticipation. Lo and behold, it was Jeff Garlin looking for a shout-out. I yelled out his name and made his/ my day. I felt like the bee's knees, but my new family didn't. Who? Huge Curb fan. I was still on a high all day. What a ride.

Is anyone else wondering where Tuesday’s upload is at? 8 days is far too long to wait 😂

I think it got sucked into their new paid streaming service. Look up the video(s) on the main Watcher youtube page for more info. They basically said they were leaving KZread to try to start their own Netflix knockoff, and then had to walk it back and say they'll still upload the content on KZread a month after it airs on their paid platform. sooooo basically we'll be waiting a month before the next episode. Which I'm honestly still annoyed by, because this show is so low-cost to run. I hope someone on YT starts a similar podcast because there's now a whole month of opportunity that Watcher has given creators to fill this niche.

RYAN AND MATT? this is the best podcast episode ever!

WOW! My favorite podcasts collide! Love Gourley on Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend!

Barley 2 minutes in and I'm already loving these guests

I like the format of the Podcast so far and enjoyed the intro and outro this time.

Did this tour waaay back in the day (early 1990s) - single lasting memory for this Bay Area native? They made our worst nightmare of being stuck in a BART tunnel in a major earthquake A RIDE. FOR ENTERTAINMENT. Dude.

So much fun banter and stories on this episode. The tram tour is underrated. I'm always blown away by the War of the Worlds set and the earthquake experience no matter how many times I've seen them before. The addition of Norman Bates at the Bates Motel is really fun too--simple yet effective and he never drops character. Watched him mad dog the tram until we were out of sight.

The last time i went on this ride i was a really small child, but i still vividly remember the psycho house because it scared the ever living crap out of me. This whole time i thought it was a fever dream...

30:08 about half are electric! The way to tell if the team you are on is electric is to look at the lettering. Yellow letters are gas, green are electric! That is hidden with some with the glamor tram outfits, but in general that is the case.

I’ve never gotten a clear look at anyone famous from the tram. But one time I was in the gift shop by the entrance and they quickly closed and locked all of the doors. Fred Savage was getting mobbed by fans and they decided to hide him in there. So yeah, I was trapped in a gift shop with Fred Savage. timeline for that lines up with the movie The Wizard, but I’m not 100% sure that’s why he was there. I’ve seen like every celebrity there is near UCLA, though.

I really enjoyed this episode and the update 👍🏻

My last trip I decided to spring for the VIP experience and it was awesome to be able to continue on past the end of the regular tour. We got to walk around the European village, some of the prop warehouse, and an actual set from the Quantum Leap reboot.

You also get to exit and walk around during Halloween Horror Nights. You’ll usually at least get to walk right up to the Psycho house, Bates Motel, through the War Of The Worlds crash set, and now go into Jupiter’s Claim. Ok, they partially covered this at the end.

I love when Matt chimes in on these podcasts! Love to have the "Everyman Tourist Tie-Breaker"

I was on the Universal tram tour once when it was still hosted by Whoopi, and I still feel shaken from seeing that Kong animatronic 😂 I was very easily frightened as a kid, and several points in the ride instilled me more with terror than with wonder, but maybe my opinion will be different 10+ years later 😅

I’m embarrassed to say I’ve been to Universal Studios Hollywood only once (and I was even an adult) and I DIDN’T KNOW THE STUDIO TOUR WAS A THING!! I did the top lot & thought that was everything to do in the park. I’m the less than average tourist. 😂

WE LOVE THIS SHOW! keep it up pls

Ryan: "Let us live!" The Audience: * puts pitchforks behind their back *

Next yall should make a video on Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Hollywood

Dang, it seems coincidental that there was that big accident last weekend just as it swapped to the 60th Anniversary trams

If this goes behind the new paywall, I am going to lose my fucking mind.

Love the tram tour. My hope with the F&F coaster is that they can replace that part of the tour with something better. Maybe they can do live effects demos there, since that show was one of the things that got torn down for the new ride. Otherwise - speaking of things shot at Universal, it's a shame that they just cancelled the Quantum Leap reboot. It was a perfect show to play "spot the tour locations" - they even used the flash flood scene this season. I'm genuinely disappointed that they never managed to work the Jaws shark into an episode. Missed opportunities...

The Universal Hollywood Studios Tram Tour is so iconic and world-class that about 35 years ago two theme parks in Central Florida were built including versions of that Tram Tour as an essential part of a movies studio / theme park / tour. 19:05

tbh this is the highlight of every tuesday!!

i’m so fucking thankful my favorite part of this channel gets to stay on YT - i was so sad 😢

love this podcast so much

saw the title and already knew it’d be a world class attraction! i’ve only been to universal hollywood once, when i was 15 (in july 2015) but that was the best ride! i loved to see everything (hated supercharged tho) and my guide was so much fun! that and the view are why i still think universal hollywood is so much better than orlando’s (and i live in orlando, so ive been to these parks many more times)

I enjoy this podcast so much.

The tourists would really like to see more Byron. 😛

Yes Ryan, we do like the theme park updates!! Do more do more!

Yessss so excited

The dude with the moustache looks just like Byron in 20 years

You were right Ryan, The only time I've ever been to Universal Studios, they announced on the tour that The Burbs and Fletch Lives were the two movies currently filming there

Thrilled to see so many commercials!

So is there a new episode this week?????

That's Matt from Conan OBrien needs a Friend! Love that guy! Hilarious!!!! I had no idea he had did a theme park podcast!

I don’t remember the gorilla with the hand, but I do remember as a kid getting off the tram and going through a dressing room/ trailer and the tram guide said, “You can take as many pictures as you’d like, but don’t take the pictures off the walls because they belong to Mr. (Robert) Wagner.”😂 I thought it was funny that the “walls” of the Red Sea had kiddie pool fish images along the sides.😆

i love this gosh dang podcast.

Been to USH 2x (1997 & 2023) and the Studio Tram Tour was def a big highlight each trip. When we were on it last October, there was a group sitting next to us and all they wanted to see was the FF Super Charged part. Finally got there and halfway through, it just completely shut down, pitch black, silent. The absolute awkwardness of creeping out of that black hole of a Soundstage while these people were so distraught 😂

Would y’all ever talk about HHN or fan favorite HHN houses? Would be cool!!!

Love Matt and Amanda!

The movie theater is my happy place ❤

Is FYA gonna be behind the paywall?! 😭😭😭

Did they talk about the tram being converted to electric from gas? When you board the tram you have to wait about 3 minutes do the tram can charge.

I didn't know Matt had a bunch of other pods. But I enjoy him bantering with Conan and Sona on Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend.

i was very surprised to see that the voice of roger rabbit stars in The Backlot Murders. learning a lot today

So I wonder, when are y'all going to cover the greatest dark ride of all time? (Pirates of the Caribbean). Also I've seen Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson on the studio tour before.

I just have to say I love the music theme for this show. Also this ride is a must ride at Universal if you are visiting town. SoCal residents like us might skip it but not always!
