  • Disney Queue Cloggers, 110 year old Beach Bunnies, & the Furby that wouldn’t die.
    Sep 15 2025

    Three years in and somehow we’re getting weirder, in the best way. We kick off with Taco Bell’s Y2K menu (double down on the double-decker), a Furby that will not die, and Jess’s spooky-cool “Bottle-yaga” for Knott’s Into the Fog. David returns from a cross-country odyssey (Marceline pilgrim badge unlocked) plus an Angels Flight joyride and a spicy modern-art rant (banana, meet wall). We swap EPCOT lore from the man behind “Drinking Around the World,” then dive into park reality: line-cutting mega-squads, DIY Lightning Lane scams, and why Disney’s feeling more two-tier than ever.

    Also: introduce yourself to the Lincoln Challenge (stand like the animatronic—no hands, no lawsuits), a Star Tours hat caper, and a Patreon tease for our two-part Marceline video drop. It’s tangents, tiki, and just enough chaos to keep the Jungle boat afloat.

  • Skyway Spartan Kicks, Dinner with Eisner, and Casey Jr's coming off the tracks
    Sep 1 2025

    The lads welcome special guest Tim Kelly this episode for a whirlwind of Disneyland in the ’70s, from speeding Casey Jr. trains and Skyway shenanigans to fireworks misfires and Tinker Bell crash landings. Tim also dives into his days as a pitcher, scout, and coach with the Dodgers and Angels — including unforgettable moments at Dodgers Fantasy Camp with Joe Walsh of the Eagles, stories of big-band nights at the park, and Michael Eisner’s quirky Angels era. It’s trains, tunes, and trouble all rolled into one.
