**Craig Carton** (0:00)
On Wednesday, I think, is that the current plan?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:02)
Back Wednesday.

**Craig Carton** (0:02)
I think he was, last I saw, he checked in, he was in Mexico.
Epcot. Oh, he wasn't in Mexico?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:09)
No, he was in Mexico, in Epcot.

**Craig Carton** (0:11)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hold on, hang on a second. He sent the text, I think it was a group text, right?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:17)
The death whistle.

**Craig Carton** (0:18)
Yeah, he said it, he sure, I thought he was in Mexico. He sent us a picture of a Mexican death whistle, like the one I had confiscated when I went through security at Newark airport.
And so he's not in Mexico. He's at Epcot Center.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:33)
And then Hoff X, are you in Mexico? And then he said Epcot.

**Craig Carton** (0:37)
So he's not in Mexico. But didn't he say, hey, I'm in Mexico or no? He didn't say that.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:42)
He just said, I'm trying to find the exact.

**Craig Carton** (0:44)
I got it right here. I got it. He sent us a picture of the mine death whistle, which I bought on Amazon and I played it in here. And I forgot that it was in my bag going to LA to film an episode of my podcast called The Wayne and the security people at Newark Airport confiscated it from me. So it's not that big a deal. So I assumed he was in Mexico and that's where he saw the mine whistle.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:09)
Well, he was in Mexico, in Epcot.

**Craig Carton** (1:11)
No, he was not in Mexico. You're saying like Epcot's got a wing, like you kind of visit other countries? He was in Florida.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:19)
Yeah, but in Epcot, they have all the countries. That's the whole thing. You drink around the world.

**Craig Carton** (1:24)
So he's not in Mexico. He's Mexico in Epcot.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:28)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (1:29)
So he's not in Mexico. I don't get it. I don't get the whole thing.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:32)
But you feel like you're in Mexico when you're there.

**Craig Carton** (1:34)
No, you don't feel like you're in Mexico. You feel like you're in Florida, looking at a tribute to Mexico on the wall.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:41)
They have the ruins.

**Craig Carton** (1:44)
The mine ruins are in Epcot, yeah?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:45)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (1:46)
Or you can walk through the ruins, is that right? Yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:48)
And they have the birds with the sobreros.

**Craig Carton** (1:52)
You people and your Disney crap. It's fascinating to me.
I just don't get it. Well, he made it seem like he was in Mexico. Well, that's a great trip. Florida, the Bahamas, Mexico. Nice trip for the kids. Yeah, you're making too much money here, but nice trip. Now I find out he's just in the landlocked part of Florida, and he's in a warehouse that they turned into a fake Mexico.
Yes, they all speak Spanish there, too. Make it even more offensive. Yeah. Oh, hola, como esta?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:23)
And then he probably went to Norway afterwards, and France, and Morocco.

**Craig Carton** (2:26)
Because you just drink there? Sort of go like Corona.
Like, what's he drinking?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:30)
Well, it depends where you're going.

**Craig Carton** (2:31)
Dos Equis?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:32)
I'm sure the Mexico part was very unimpressive. But like Germany, they had all German beers. France had great pastries.

**Craig Carton** (2:39)
Oh, you've been there?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:40)
I just got back from there.

**Craig Carton** (2:41)
Oh, you did the same thing.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:42)
Yeah, but we did.

**Craig Carton** (2:43)
So, you traveled the world in a...

**Chris McMonigle** (2:44)
Yeah, drank a lot of the world.

**Craig Carton** (2:46)
So, you traveled the world in a landlocked part of Florida.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:50)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:50)
No water to be seen anywhere.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:52)
Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:52)
Yeah.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:53)
Well, there's water in the middle of the park.

**Craig Carton** (2:55)
Didn't some gal get eaten by an alligator there a couple years back?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:58)
In Florida, I feel like that's every day.

**Craig Carton** (2:59)
No, no, Sirs. Sirs.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:00)
At Disney.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:02)
I don't know.

**Craig Carton** (3:03)
There was a gal, I think they made like a manmade beach there on one of the, on like near a lake or something. I think she like turned her back, her kids were frolicking, and I think she got eaten by an alligator.
