Welcome to No Loose Items, a theme park podcast hosted by Brian and Chandler covering Universal Studios, Walt Disney World, and theme parks around the world.

In our first episode, we finally sit down and start the podcast we’ve been talking about for years. We introduce ourselves, share how we got into theme park content, and talk about our obsession with Universal Orlando and Disney World.

We dive into everything from Velocicoaster being one of the best rides ever built, Halloween Horror Nights memories, Disney vs Universal differences, and how we actually met through the theme park community. We also discuss content creation, TikTok vs YouTube, and what it’s like building a theme park audience online.

Later in the episode, we get into ride opinions, including Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift, Epic Universe excitement, and our least favorite attractions across Universal and Disney parks.

If you love Universal Orlando, Disney World, roller coasters, HHN, and honest theme park conversations, this is your show.
