Two Brits go to Dollywood for the first time!
Oh my gosh! Woooo! Hell yeah, Dolly! That's just an insane amount of meat! Look at this! Holy moly, look how many cars are already parked! The park isn't even open yet! I can see the tops of some roller coasters poking out the top of those trees, Ollie! Oh my gosh! Holy Moly, it is rammed already! It's a weekday! I am G'd up! As soon as we come in here, suddenly the energy! So, obviously there's a theme park, there's a lot of rides here, Ollie. But there's also a lot of food, okay? Wow! So this is kettle corn. What is kettle corn? I mean it's popcorn, right? I want to try it, I want to try it. Hello! What is going on in there? Is this how you make kettle corn? How is kettle corn different than like normal popcorn? Sugar and salt instead of butter. That's like sweet and salty! Sweet and salty popcorn! He's in some serious protective gear.
Looks like he's about to go and play an ice hockey game. Yeah, in goal. In goal! Oh my gosh! Wow! Look at that! It's properly going for it! Oh my gosh! What, it's really aggressive! Whoa! Whoa! Wow! That was cool! Thank you so much! Oh it's kind of crunchy! It's caramelised! Oh baby, I could literally eat an entire box of this. No problem. Already, can I just say, we woke up Dollywood resort.
I felt pretty good. I did not. No, waking up in the bed didn't feel good. Felt like the aftermath of Princess Hot Chicken was coming for me. I could still hear Andre laughing.
Echoing, echoing your nightmares. It's gonna hurt on the way out! That's good to clarify. But when I came down to the lobby, I got greeted by Mr Acoustic Man. Started to feel better right? Got on the trolley, coming over here. The trolley looked like a massive tram.
Drove in, being in a crowd of loads of families, just super excited to be here. Yeah. It's good vibes man.
It's immediately good vibes. As soon as you get in the park, you start to feel good. I feel flipping great about life right now. Like I just feel so excited. I feel like I need to become an ambassador for kettle corn now.
Yeah. Have you guys tried the kettle corn? No we haven't. It's really, really good.
Get stuck in. Get stuck in. It's so good. We're actually gonna try a ton of food so I probably should just catch you. Oh my gosh! It's great.
Yeah? The cinnamon bread? We should try the cinnamon bread next? Okay. Would you guys want to have the rest of the kettle corn? You're welcome to it. You're welcome to it. Have a great vacation guys. Take care guys. All right.
Take care. Cheers. Okay.
They've got family vacation t-shirts. That is cool. That's cool.
How come we don't have that? That's amazing. We never do anything like that. I think the thing is though, they're making it work. I feel like whenever anyone in the UK has matching t-shirts, it's because they're going on like a stag do. Yeah. And one of them is dressed up as like a Disney princess.
It's just a very different vibe. It is a very different vibe. It could not be a more different vibe. I wouldn't much prefer to be on that t-shirt holiday than the ones I see in Europe.
Wow. Look at this. Hello. Hello. Yeah.
You're looking amazing. I love this place. This is awesome. Ollie, look at this place. This is amazing.
This is where we get the hot fresh cinnamon bread made daily. Apparently I cannot tell you how many people have told us, "You go anywhere near Dollywood, you have to try the cinnamon bread." Like, oh, smell that. Holy moly, that smells so good. You need this from us? Hello, good morning. Okay.
This smells incredible in here. Thank you. Do you ever get sick of that smell working here? I feel like I would just be obsessed. Okay. Yeah. Can you still smell it or do you get used to it? You can still smell it.
Okay. Wow. Oh wow. Two boxes. One box each.
Yeah. Oh, it's warm. All right. Thank you very much. Wow. Thank you so much guys.
Cheers. This has got to be like top 10 smells of all time. Really? All the time. No way. Really? I do. On TikTok.
Oh, thank you so much. That's why we're here. Oh yeah.
We do. I mean, you can't blame us. We do. Wow. We've come to the right place.
Thank you very much Pamela. Take care. People are so nice here. Yeah.
Can we say about this? Yeah. Very light. Yeah. I was going to say.
Lighter than the tub of kettle corn. That's true. There's nothing to that. Wow. So stood here by the mill. Hello.
We got stinky Pete on the guitar. Shush. You are mean.
No, no. I'm not saying he's stinky. I'm saying he bears a resemblance to an iconic movie character. I bear a resemblance to multiple animated characters. That's true.
Wow. Oh my gosh. Holy moly. The dough raises so much. Look at that.
Is that one piece? Oh. Wow. Look at that. Oh. It is so warm and fresh. How fluffy and warm that is.
I'm in my happy place. Yeah. Hell yeah Dolly. Oh wow.
That's a home run. Okay. Apple. Is this apple butter? Honestly don't even know what apple butter is. I didn't know you could milk an apple. And then.
Let alone churn into butter. Oh wow. That is good. Wow. That gives normal butter a run for its money. We're just saying something because butter is great.
Yeah. The hype was justified. This is a game changer. We did a best bakeries in London episode.
We did. Not long ago. And we tried some incredible pastries. Incredible. Incredible.
This is better than anything we tried. Okay. You just straight away throwing that out there. It is. Bakeries in London, line up.
I will throw all of you under the bus. Wow. Under the jolly trolley.
London is a city of 9 million people. We went into the best bakeries in the flipping city. So I'm curious because the way you've hyped this. Yeah. Sorry.
No, no. I bigged it up. Basically because we're in a theme park. I've got a British theme park mentality. Which is.
Yeah. If you eat something. That's so true. You're coming home with food poisoning. Yeah.
You're spending a lot of money for the privilege. That's very true though. You will pay so much for a hot dog in a British theme park.
It's so good. It's ridiculous. It's so good. What do you do if you suddenly crave this? You literally have to come to Dolly's. Yeah.
That's a dilemma. That's the Dollywood dilemma. I really need the loo.
Oh, what? Suddenly. Suddenly. Okay.
I wasn't going to say anything, but I think Prince's hot chicken has just suddenly struck, His revenge on Ollie's belly because he has run off camera. I got catfished by a catfish. Not again. These guys are taking the biscuit. Oh, listen up son.
You gotta get Nord real fast. I'm listening. But what if I log on stateside? They got 5,000 servers worldwide. Secure up to 10 devices at one time. Oh, it's Nord, isn't it? Here's the savings that they got me over 70% and 4 months free. It's Nord.

It's Nord. Nord. VPN.

VPN. If you want to get fast and reliable encryption. It's Nord.
Nord. VPN. Here's a 30-day money back guarantee with your subscription. Suck it, haggis! Hey, Ollie. Are you alive? Oh my gosh.
That was good. Wave. What? It's a flipping Dollywood train. He waved.
He waved. Wow. How big is this place? They have a train in here.
The Dollywood Express. There was someone at the back. We'll fix it in post.
Well, now that you've excavated a little bit, Should we go take off our first roller coaster? Is it safe enough? There we go. Wow. Look at this.
I really want one of these. That is sick. Let's go. Oh my gosh.
Look at that. All right, Ollie. Lightning rod. It's all made of wood.
Yeah, I know you're not a huge fan of heights. I'm not a huge fan of critical structures made out of wood. Right? We invented steel for a reason.
This is the fastest roller coaster in the park. It's called lightning rod. It goes above 70 miles an hour. We're starting at the top. All right.
Dolly, if you're watching, pray for us. Five, four, three, two, one. Yeah! Oh my gosh. There was so much drool coming out of my mouth.
Oh gosh. That was insane. Oh my gosh. I really want to see the photo.
Yeah, that's the one. You're about to die. You're right on the cusp of death.
Right, so we managed to hold the food down. I think we need some more food. I actually need a top off of blood sugar. I feel weak. They're frying up those tornado potatoes. That looks really good.
I mean, for me, that's a double threat. Something I'm allergic to and a tornado, which is a dangerous weather system. I keep forgetting you're allergic to potatoes. I've known you for so long.
Oh yeah, that's for us. Fantastic. Thank you very much. Thank you so much.
All right. Wow. We're getting like a light misting. Oh, it's lovely. It is absolutely lovely. It's like you're stood next to someone, With a heavy flow at the urinal.
Sorry. Sorry. That is so shockingly disgusting. You should apologize to the audience.
I am sorry. Maybe I stand too close. All right. So this is a potato tornado. That sounds crunchy. It's really crunchy.
It's really good. Oh, yours is just potato. Mine has a hot dog in the middle. That's delicious. It's incredibly difficult to eat.
It's really the delivery mechanism is not quite the one. It's like a booby trap sausage. I just can't get over.
This is a theme park based around a person, But also a living person who's still performing. I mean, can you imagine if another musician opened a theme park themed around them? Like Kanye world. You'd have to sign a waiver before going in there. Yeah. I mean Coldplay, if they open, like all the rides would be the same. Um, Taylor Swift, she'd have like a ride, but all of her different exits, you know, She'd also be really mean about other parks in all of her publicity.
I think it's time to go on another ride. I really like this. You should stop eating.
You're allergic to potatoes. You should stop eating. All right, come on.
Let's go. Look at this. Oh my gosh. This is the Dolly Parton experience.
Okay. I love this place. This place is surreal. It's like you're in a dream, right? Okey-dokey. Yeah. Wow.
Look how big this is. We are so far from home, Josh. Oh my gosh.
This is like a giant tribute to Dolly. This is genuinely just mind blowing. Oh, this is what you talked about. I was like, where are the books? You're sick.
Yeah, man. They've all been gifted away. They're not going to be sitting here are they?.
Look at this. Books gifted at too many numbers. $241 million through her imagination library. Wow. Really is like inspiring.
Genuinely inspiring. Sort of person who makes you think, What the hell have I done with my life? But like not in a bad way. Like in an inspiring way.
Like makes you want to do more. I've been Dolly dallying this whole time. Very good. Oh, Ollie. I want to do the drop.
Let's do the drop. Let's do the drop. You immediately looked a bit scared when we saw it. That's high.
It's really high. Let's do it. Let's do it. Oh, crap. Oh my gosh. That's high.
That is high. This is scary. A little bit nerve wracking.
A lot bit nerve wracking. I bet you Dolly's never been on this. Oh wow.
The dread. The dread has started. Oh wow. This is going to be scary. Oh crap. That was terrifying.
I feel light headed. You know what we need? Some more food. Gosh. Let's go get some more food.
Alrighty. It's lunchtime, baby. WWDD, what would Dolly do? I like that.
As long as the answer is just eat a heck ton of barbecue. Yes. Wow.
What are these? Thank you very much. Thank you so much. Now, for you. We have been in the South for a week. Wow. Yes.
My stomach has expanded. Yeah. You're hungry again. I'm hungry. And I don't even really know how that's possible. We've eaten quite a lot since we arrived.
And like an insane amount. Oh mate, I am so ready for this. Grade A sour cream. Well, I'm glad it's not Grade B.
Yeah, I don't really know what the difference is. Wow, these are chonky chips. Wow, look at this pulled pork. Just flipping love the South, dude. Just ridiculous.
It looks good, right? But how is this in a theme park? Let's try it. Let's try it. Oh, my gosh.
What? Bit of sour cream. Dolly, Dolly, Dolly. I'm a little bit angry. Why? We're in a theme park. And that like, that is genuinely better than any barbecue I've had in London.
Dolly's got extremely high standards. She works nine to five. You're milking that one.
Oh, yeah. It's the thing we've learned about Tennessee barbecue, right? The pork, they don't mess around with the pork. It doesn't have to be this good. That's what makes me angry.
Look, do not take a lesson from the UK, but there is a certain logic. You've got people in there. They've already paid a lot of money to be here.
Yeah. They're hot. They're tired. They'll eat anything. Their kids are grumpy, whatever. They'll eat anything.
You could serve them up anything and you can charge them four times what it's worth. Literally. And that's what we do in the UK. Is this like a fundamental cultural difference that we have? Like, I can't understand how is it possible for this food to be this good? We're in the middle of the mountains.
Oh, wow. Here's your turkey leg. Aaron, you brought us a turkey leg as well.
Thank you so much, Aaron. Okay, that is really hot. We can't eat that right now. Put it down. Put it down. Let's save that for a bit.
Big bear. Let's go for the big bear. What's in here? It's pulled pork. And then there's brisket. Loads of pork.
Loads of sauce. There's brisket in there as well. I think so. I saw on the menu, 16-hour slow braised brisket.
That's it. Can you see that? Cheers, man. Let's do it.
What? That's that smoky, barbecue-y, saucy goodness. That's insanely good. Do you see how juicy that meat is? Now that has been slow-cooked for hours and hours and yet it's still so juicy soft. You know, it's heavenly.
Dollywood's like that annoying kid at school that's good at everything. You know what I mean? The thing is, we're not citizens of this country, but I feel oddly patriotic. America sat here in this hat surrounded by literally hundreds of bald eagles.
They have a sanctuary for bald eagles that have lost the ability to fly, which... Are you serious? Is that what that is? It's not like a zoo where they're all trapped inside. No, no, no. This is a sanctuary. They can't be released because they've lost the ability to fly. Could she be more of an American icon? You know, like when the bald eagles are crying out for help, who do they call for? Dolly! They'll put my face on a bald eagle flying.
It'll be amazing. That's hopeful. This is actually insane.
It really is. No, genuinely. It really is.
Adam have a bite of that one. Yeah. What the heck? All right. This is a really big boy. I mean, that guy didn't skip leg day.
Yeah. Thing is right, you look at this in like out of context and you're like, wow, this is big. Think about how big that turkey must have been. I've cooked a fair few turkeys at Christmas. Yeah.
For the leg to be this big, that's insane. Chonky. Okay, I'm gonna put a little bit of sour cream on there.
Okay. It looks like kind of ham. You know? Is that because it's smoked? Maybe. Wow, that's just an insane amount of meat. I took maybe the biggest mouthfull of turkey that I've ever had. And we've barely touched the surface.
I did feel a bit bad for the flightless eagles. Why? Sat over there and watching us just chow down on the most glorious meat. I think we've got another ride to get on. Now, after this. There's actually an eagle ride where you can fly like an eagle. Okay, that sounds fun.
Which is even more insulting to those guys. Okay. You know? Wild eagle. All righty.
Oh, wow. I just got to enjoy it. Just got to enjoy it. What do you mean? Why are you telling me that? I'm an eagle.
You're telling yourself. I'm an eagle. You're an eagle. I'm an eagle. Okay, we're going, wish us luck. We're just hanging over the edge.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, wow. Oh, my gosh. That's steep.
We go straight into a loop Josh. I'm not ready for this. You're higher than the drop.
Oh, no. No. No. Oh, that was great. That was like the G force we were kicking on. That was strong. They saved the best till last.
You know what we need, Josh? What's that? Some more food. You're an idiot. Oh, my gosh. Can you see that apple pie? Oh, my goodness. Hello. How are you? Can we get a slice of this pie? That's one slice.
That's just one. Oh, my gosh. Look at Wicker's face.
What? It looks like. You've seen the movie Borrowers? The Borrowers. Yeah. We're little people. And we've stumbled into like a giants kitchen and stolen a slice of their pie.
It's enough to feed our family for like a month. All right. I'm going to put that down because I'm getting cramp in my arms. Wow. Is it good? Wow.
Wow. Oh, wow. It's really good. It's like. Oh, my gosh. What's crazy is that's like fresh pastry, fresh apples.
Probably the only thing that isn't perfect about it is the size. It's just ginormous. I mean, it's too big.
Much like Dollywood itself. It's massive and way better than I expected it to be. It's very on point. I love this topping. Dollywood's just been amazing, man.
How have we not heard of this? It is kind of crazy, hey? Yeah. And Dolly Parton, if you're watching, we love you. Along with apparently the rest of the world. Rightly so. Thanks for having us.
You know what we need to do now? What's that? Go on another roller coaster. You're crazy. I feel like we should call it a day. This has been jolly and Dollywood.
We'll see you Dolly soon. Very good. Very good.
