now we are back at universal studios last time we were here we were sweating we're freezing cold now
it's like 65. uh so on that note i think allison is going to get the universal denim jacket she's
been eyeballing for like five months now here's the jacket she's been eyeballing it was part of
the Universal retro line it's only 75 this is very confusing allergic to i was thinking like
thing one and thing two the shirts that they have here i was like whose name is allergic
too that's allergic to mornings oh this hole of where your foot goes inside the minion makes me
very uncomfortable it looks like you're sticking your foot right into his oh then they have an
adult size version i really don't like how he's licking his lips oh there we work it
work gets there with the fanny pack and everything and the purple ugly shirt yeah anyways it's time
to eat some good food and there's a special scavenger hunt we're gonna do so we're gonna pick
up the scavenger hunt map at the main universal store the first skeleton is right over there
it is called the crew crawl i don't know what that word crew means i thought crew was c-r-e-w we have
to go to each little store get a stamp and then at the end of it i think we get a specialty little
bead all right so here's a little sign for it the crew crawl parades parties and beads they got
this little uh skeleton definitely flashing people not covering up at all then you got a nice little
adjuster up there over here it looks like stacy has had a little too many drinks and she's trying
to climb the lamp pole i have many questions about these it looks like a true love story you
know we got the rose up there she's having a good time he's trying to climb up to get her attention
gather your crew and take a walking tour around universal studios florida to experience the rich
history of mardi gras dora i got a map just like you i'm going on a treasure hunt you gotta watch
out for swiper though if you get any beads i know he'll be coming for it oh no boots oh buddy i oh
yes
keep trying boots we'll stop by and see how you're doing later our first stop of the day
is gonna be at five and dime to get our treasure stamp oh this is a good one so you got a wonderful
bride right there you get a vampire with like some little voodoo necklace we gotta stop by the annual
pass holder lounge because they have a new shirt we finally have a new annual pass order shirt for
the veloci coaster what could go wrong you kind of look there's the silhouette the velociraptor
and then on the little annual password logo they have like claw marks and it's only 25 now i don't
remember that being a quote from jurassic park what could go wrong trust me what could go wrong
it's probably going to be in like the pre-show owen's probably going to be like what could go
wrong with the raptor training session i feel like that's what's going to happen now normally there's
a giant float here i don't know what happened to it now they're throwing beads off the float the
team members are trying to tell them to spread out they're not really listening though the
next little stop is at the mib gear shop live jazz tonight get one playing a little trumpet
another guy playing the drums they got another guy rocking out on the guitar i wonder who's picked
that is since it's raining we're going to hop into the new rest area at the fear factor stage
now a lot of people just sit at the little tables right outside of the fear factor stage a lot of
people don't know that the whole arena is wide open now here's a little better shot of the
empty gear factor live there's been like cars up here that people would hang from but i think they
removed them so that might be like the nail in the coffin that the show's never coming back i think
it's funny that there's also just like apartment buildings right back there and if you look you
can see the hornets house tent still set up we're waiting for september now the next little skeleton
is gonna be at our favorite family store he's got a little hat looks like he's a grave digger i like
the little golden tooth that he has and then the coins and the eyes and again probably on all these
little tombs the names are probably of like people from the universal creative team now we're off to
the candy store oh this is funny that skeleton's a little pothead over there he's cooking up
something good i'm guessing there was some village from what they were cooking because they got a
caution sign down there yeah they're definitely some messy cooks because you can see everything
and they're dropping on the floor you're probably wondering will bruce ever come back yeah universal
now if he's just being under refurb right now because all those kids hang on his teeth
and they have their daytime water show running just something to look at while you're walking by
now we're off to the irish imports she's a little gardener look at her rosie you're looking good
today i wonder if the one rose that was cut was the rose that that one skeleton was holding now
it's time to go into sahara traders the mummy gift shop we got some more performers over here they
got some boas on them they're showing a little too much leg in loving memory all right then we
are here at the transformers supply vault oh i like this one ah this is definitely like a voodoo
witch doctor that's great the little voodoo doll reminds me of what was that cartoon animated movie
like 32 or nine from lilo and stitch this is scrump's uncle scramble scrumple yeah scrump
scrumple oh is that like a monkey paw there's like a snake around his neck what's your voodoo story
okay so when we were in high school these girls wanted to voodoo another girl because this is a
normal thing or high school or like we went to a catholic high school so oh my god and they went
to voodoo and they had the girl's picture here and they took a snapchat of it and you could see
her picture in real life but in the picture it was black like this where did they learn how to voodoo
um youtube oh my god so it's very official now right next to transformers is the film vault
the next skeleton will be in here he looks like a good uh pirate on a float having a good time he's
eyeballing some people flashing for some beads the little cannonballs up there almost like donut
holes and then under his foot is a little treasure chest with beads and coins i really wish he was
wearing pants with the way his legs are spread i'm gonna take a break from the scavenger hunt to go
to one of my favorite little food booths that they have here at mardi gras last time i was here i
got the carnitas this time i'm going to try the uh beef um piccadillo feel like i'm saying that wrong
pick a dip dillo picadillo and uh the the puyo arepas and then of course we're gonna get my
favorite drink i think from this mardi gras event the coco loco okay i'm super excited for these so
the first one i'm going to have the uh pollo arepa cornmeal cake filled with savory shredded chicken
mayo ketchup and cilantro now the corn patty is a little drier and not as fresh as the first
opening day which kind of makes an impact on it i like the mayo ketchup the chicken is pretty good
it's not super juicy but it is tender i think i give this one a seven out of ten and then
the other one i also got is the beef piccadillo which is a beef arepa so it's gonna have again
the cornmeal cake filled with savory beef mayo ketchup and cilantro let's see how the beef one
is i was not a fan of that beef one six out of ten it wasn't terrible but like there wasn't much like
pizzazz in it it had more flavor than the chicken but i didn't like it as a whole i think you're
coming here get the carnita one that one was good all right here's the cocoa loco all right so i got
a question so good it's just like a lemonade creamsicle nine out of ten so good now the
next stand we're going to is the one from brazil for the drink i got the strawberry and pineapple
punch this is nice and refreshing this is a kevin type of drink i would do 8 out of 10 on this one
these little things almost look like donut holes i think i'm saying this correctly they're called
brigadillos it's going to be a brazilian classic with condensed milk cocoa powder
chocolate sprinkles and toasted peanuts apparently they're mainly served at like birthday parties and
celebrations let's try the peanut one imagine if like brownie batter and fudge had a baby i put
peanuts all over it this one has like glitter and little like chocolate sprinkles on it
these are really good i think i saved the best one for last the chocolate sprinkled one
these are all very good 8.5 out of 10. if you like a fudgy brownie batter i would get those
now there's not a lot of sweet offerings within the booth because most the sweets are at the
tribute store so it's nice to have sweet treat at the booth now i don't know why there's a lot
of the floats missing i was thinking because it was raining they're putting them backstage
but it's raining and this float is still out we're gonna go to the uh tribute store real quick i do
enjoy this little nod the tributes to the tribute store i wonder if this is the band that plays at
the hunger games after party for the winner now we have to pay our respects to uh the grave of
marty and you will forever be missed marty you'll forever be missed now if you're confused for the
christmas time there's like earl the squirrel and our friend megan told us that they have a
little graveyard for a squirrel and she named them marty for like mardi gras who needs youtube
raven when you can buy your own voodoo doll right here the time has come for me to try
the talking skull and then i'm gonna get one of the little treats at the bayou bike
now i got the uh talking skull for halloween they had like the beating hearts and then for christmas
then they had like the light up christmas lights and now they're like these talking
cursed skulls they gave it to me and they said there's no longer a curse on them so they're no
longer going to be talking anymore watching them talk kind of reminded me of if you've
ever seen like halloween town two there's like these shrunken head walkie-talkies that's what
they like reminded me of so here's the gummy skeleton i don't know what flavor he is but
he definitely has an underbite i don't think he went to an orthodontist in his lifetime oh my god
so you can see like the little air pocket in the back it almost looks like a coin bank i think it's
the consistency for me and it's like this like weird like thick lump of gelatin i think it's like
a blueberry the taste isn't bad feels like i'm eating like diet rubber a little too funky for me
we'll do a three out of ten i think you buy it for like the look not for the taste but as always i've
brought a brought along my little test guinea pig here brent go for it go for the head ah i can't
it doesn't taste bad it just doesn't feel texture is just too weird now for the little entree i got
the anduli puff pastry with a creole mustard now i do want you to know that if you go in there a
tasting sampler card does not work on those so you have to pay out of pocket for everything
inside the tribute store hope this is good this steaming here's a little better shot of the
sausage it tastes a lot better than the twisted tater we had last time that was an andouille
sausage it's got some good zesty seasoning in it a good pop when you bite into it then it's hot
i really thought it would be cold sitting around the tribute store is it the best thing i've eaten
here no but it's decent it's edible i think we'll do 6.5 it's gotta have an interesting aftertaste
now maybe i'm just not a fan of an andouille sausage like i enjoy it when it's in like gumbo
and everything but i think just like eating on its own i think my taste pal just isn't used to
it brent explained the taste of biting into this pretty well if i were to be a cannibal
just to be clear i'm not a cannibal i imagine that's what it would be like what it tastes like
the texture i can't imagine a person tasting good i mean i mean look at it look at it it's like
if a person was beef jerky that's what it would be on a senior quote if a person with beef jerky
would be an andouille sausage now guys we are back home if you have eaten that little sausage
pig in a blanket thing let me know your thoughts on it i know you want to see what happens with
the rest of our scavenger hunt but you have to wait until part two on friday i'm sorry it's a
good vlog though i hope everybody's having a good week i know the country's finally starting to like
defrost here in the united states because it was a cold one the past week now this adventure was
brought to you by matt phillips thank you so much for donating on patreon now on that note
i love you all please stay safe and i will see you all on friday bye oh that gummy man
