Zuka Juice, Zao, Rumbi, J Dawgs, and losing to Kansas: what do these things have in common? BYU students were responsible. 

Today, we focus on Zuka Juice, the healthy smoothy shop that was only discovered to not be so healthy after merging with Jamba Juice. Nate and Intern Matt have fond memories for visiting Zuka Juice, but Brandon is too young to remember it. 

So join us as we discuss the beginning and end of Zuka Juice, and then let us know if you remember going there to get your favorite smoothy from the not-so-secret-secret-menu.

This week, Nate and Brandon talk about their favorite subject: cold Taco Bell with Matt. Wait, wrong episode. This week, Nate and Brandon saw Heretic and reminisce about being Sister Missionaries. What did the movie get right about the Church, and does this replace Hereditary on Brandon’s list of favorite horror movies?

Nightmare on 13th is the oldest Utah haunted house that is currently open, but it is packed with new scares this year! 

Tune in to hear Brandon and Nate recap their trip to Nightmare on 13th with their very best friend, Matt. Other friends joined as we braved through the house with some big scares, but also some empty spaces with no scares. Maybe that’s what we get for going as soon as it opens on a weeknight, but Matt had to get home to get to bed at a reasonable time for a responsible adult. 

To wrap it up, we loved our experience, and would recommend it to anyone! But if this episode got you excited, wait until next year when we get fresh Taco Bell!!!! Oh yeah, and hit all 3 SLC haunts in a single night

The Old Mill is made famous by many movies, such as Halloween 6 and SLC Punk!, but Teen Alien is not one of those movies. Yes, it is filmed at the Old Mill, but it doesn’t meet the same standard as Michael Myers sacrificing his son as part of a cult ritual.

So join Brandon and Nate as they say how terrible the movie is, and then unconvincingly try to act like it was good so you’ll watch it. Also, if you know anyone who was part of this production, please reach out!!! Below is a link to the movie. It is free, but time is valuable, so use yours wisely.

This is one of the most anticipated episodes of the year: Frightmares 2: The Third Part of Primordial. 

Nate, Brandon, and intern Matt recap their highly anticipated trip to Lagoon, filled with soggy tacos (tradition!), waiting in line for Primordial (tradition!!), and running out of time (tradition!!!). 

In a little less than 6 hours, we managed to ride 2 rides and go through 3 haunted houses. Some houses were disappointing, some were a nice refresh, and some had an hour long line. But we ended the night by getting soaked on Rattle Snake Rapids, which was the highlight of the trip!

If you make it to lagoon before they close for the season, keep your eye out for Brandon at the Beaver Tail stand. Rumor is, he is still waiting.

Join us today as we discuss Kay’s Cross in Kaysville, Utah. The origin of Kay’s Cross has never been settled on, but Ghost Adventures stuck with the story of a cult leader, Krishna Venta, who claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, had the cross built as a symbol of knowledge. Venta was eventually killed by two of his followers in 1958, and the cross was destroyed in 1992, but remnants are still there today. 

Have you been to Kay’s Cross before? Let us know!!!

Buckle up Potter fans because it’s another episode of Nate DESTROYING your predictable series that is clearly a ripoff of Star Wars. And yet, we still love Nate for just being himself. 

Today, Brandon and Nate discuss Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Nate does admit that this is the first movie that semi-catches his attention, but he’s too cool to admit that he may have enjoyed it. They do a mini deep dive into Robert Pattinson’s acting career, and how Cedric Diggory didn’t really die, but was turned into a vampire 👀

So tell us what YOU really think. Are you team Brandon who enjoys good stories, or are you team Nate who showed up late to the party and complains about how boring the party is? Or, are you team Matt, who will likely be fired after writing this episode description while still mad at Nate for his inhumane reaction to Harry Potter? Let us know!

Join us today as we continue our Primordial series with our second episode out of a 27 episode series. 

We spoil Primordial by learning there are 8 different endings! And possibly 2 tracks!?!? We also get roasted by Queen Azdra, the magical lynx that greets you to tell you your mission in a very soft voice. This is just one of our favorite parts of a fan favorite ride at lagoon. 

Our question for you is, how long you would wait to ride Primordial? And would you wait that long to ride it a second time? Let us know!
