Starting point is 00:00:00 FOREVER! DOG! Darkness falls out on the street, evil rears its head Get your crazy shake to go and your fried donut bread Beignets The villains threaten this sacred place, this downtown shopping mall We must defend the Lego store and the Splitsville bowling balls The Downtown Disney or D.U.
Starting point is 00:00:28 We must protect our AP discount meals The Downtown Disney or D.U. What secrets does the Earl of Sandwich conceal? Boys, boys, my cousin has been taken by evil forces that have inhabited Downtown Disney In order to find them, you will need to thoroughly discuss every aspect of the mall, stores, restaurants, and both of the Starbucks. We have 15 daily, very necessary episodes in which to do so. I will be there to guide you and keep your conversations from getting too off-topic or
Starting point is 00:00:59 boring. The Downtown Disney Ordeal. Why do we do this to ourselves? Welcome to Podcast The Ride, the Downtown Disney Ordeal Level 3, Stage 3 I'm Scott Gairdner, joined by Mike Carlson I'm here J.O. J. So, I'm so I'm also here
Starting point is 00:01:19 I'm getting so out of it It's another late night, we've spent some late nights for these ordeals Yeah, yeah, and I'm hitting a mental roadblock to where I'm forgetting that I of it. It's another late night. We've spent some late nights for these ordeals. Yeah, yeah. And I'm hitting a mental roadblocks where I'm forgetting that I have to say the name and then you talk. Yeah, because it identifies the name with the voice. Yeah. The old radio trick, I guess you could call it.
Starting point is 00:01:35 A constant problem we have with the two of you. I know how to, what? A constant paradox. Who is Mike and who is Scott? We've seen a lot on social media of people saying they cannot tell Scott's voice from mine. And then I'll see a lot of stories attributed to you or to me when it's actually the reverse. So I guess from that, you know, maybe we should actually address that. Maybe I should just do a different voice for the whole rest of the run of the podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Maybe McGruff. Maybe you will lose your voice Your throat will just disintegrate Yeah maybe Maybe I will Maybe I'll get used to it Wait a minute If you talk as McGruff
Starting point is 00:02:13 The rest of the episode Maybe we'll get it done quicker Yes Like McGruff Make it clear that you're A different person Yes Okay
Starting point is 00:02:20 There was a comment That was like Where there was confusion over the voices And I saw somebody say like oh come on Scott is the one who sounds the dorkiest Let's be honest everyone okay Scott is the dorkiest dork Alright so let's that's how we know
Starting point is 00:02:36 It's like can we all just be honest With ourselves that Scott's the dork And the whole time I was like maybe is it Maybe it's not me maybe they're confused That's what I hope They could have been talking about me and they just don't know the voices. Yeah, maybe. I've been holding out hope.
Starting point is 00:02:48 If you left that comment, and clearly it's a place that I'm checking the comments. Yeah. Let me know if you are so that confident that I am the dork. But let's bring the fourth voice in to level three, stage three here. A pro of Podcast the Ride, a frequent guest, as he loves to be called the Alec Baldwin of Podcast the Ride. I wear that title very proudly. Yes, I know. I'm happy to say it.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Jason Walliner. Hello, hello. Hey, guys. Thanks for having me back. Very happy to be here. Always happy to be included. Yeah. Sure.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Yeah, absolutely. Sure. Yeah, absolutely Whatever you want Thank you for joining us For a real Nolens meal And Though we're still Recovering from our Uwe Barbellas Point episode with Kyle You have brought us beers again
Starting point is 00:03:41 It's another one recording late at night And you've brought us Nolen's beer Nolen's brews I thought there was a chance So I was like Well I have some White Claws In case we want to have one
Starting point is 00:03:53 But then Jason came in With three different plastic bags And like 18 beers Wow And yeah I don't know We don't have to drink all of them
Starting point is 00:04:04 There's another bottle as well I went to Captain Corks in Las Villas and just asked him whatever he had from New Orleans, put it in the bags. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. And there was that much? Wow. Got a Bita. They're all Bita beers.
Starting point is 00:04:19 And then Sazerac Rye. Sazerac, both a cocktail and a brand of rye whiskey. Oh, that's interesting. Oh, really? Okay. So it doesn't have anything to do with the cocktail? I think the cocktail traditionally uses Sazerac rye, and it was invented in New Orleans.
Starting point is 00:04:35 I thought it used cognac. Is that right? I think that's what it said when I looked it up. Jason didn't have 24 hours to prepare for this so forgive his lack of knowledge on the topic had ryan it because of the name well look we'll figure that out uh cognac too this is every five drift off entirely because where it's another it's become another drinking one i guess i think we need it this has been uh this is the
Starting point is 00:05:05 again once again the name ordeal correctly chosen i'll say as a listener and fan it is an ordeal on this end as well there's a lot of content to get through yeah i feel it more we didn't do like any of them short i'm glad please thank you for your feedback this is a rare opportunity to get feedback mid orordeal. Now, we can't address a lot of it because we've recorded a lot of what's coming already, but if you had to give any tips or notes. I'm enjoying every minute of it, but to wake up to an hour and a half new stuff every day is a lot, too. I just know I'm not going to get through it.
Starting point is 00:05:38 And you're not working in Pomona right now. You don't have a massive commute to do. I've got about a 20-minute drive to where I'm working right now. You don't have a massive commute to do. I've got about a 20 minute drive to where I'm working right now and I did Eva's episode. I had to do some of it on one and a half speed to be perfectly honest. No, how dare you, sir. This is
Starting point is 00:05:55 art and we dictate the speed. I wanted to finish it before I saw you guys that night, so I think I sped up a little bit. Oh, thanks. Is it easier to tell Scott and I's voice apart on one and a half speed would that help or would it make it for some reason i go way up yeah it makes you less dorky i was gonna say to scott i'm not i'm so cool as long as you do becomes the coolest chipmunk in town The dorkiest human becomes the coolest chipmunk. But if I was hanging with Elvin and the gang...
Starting point is 00:06:28 Okay, it looks like some recipes call for cognac and some call for rye whiskey. The main ingredients being two different kinds of bitters and a muddled sugar cube, lemon peel, and absinthe. Absinthe is the big... Absinthe, huh? As long as we're correcting things, Jason,
Starting point is 00:06:43 Ballast Point Sulpin is available for 12 at trader joe's uh so the price trader joe's also drops their price i don't know what that means that's not a we shouldn't relive this yes i do think they're fair but compared to like a liquor store or in some parts of the country beverage distributor which is where you have to go in some states to buy beer i I have a lot to say about this, but I will refrain. For the purpose of getting...
Starting point is 00:07:10 Jason got so mad at me when he said... What did he say? What was the grapefruit line he said in the episode two episodes ago? It was a big hit, apparently. Who cares about grapefruit?
Starting point is 00:07:19 He swore. He didn't even swear in there. Who gives a shit about grapefruit? Who gives a shit about grapefruit, he said. I was arguing about craft IPAs and the different Fluctuation and prices And stuff
Starting point is 00:07:29 It was a big fight It was a big fight broke out But we're kind of calmed today by the presence Of one of our Great recent inspirations Mr. Boogity We've got Mr. Boogity running in the background I'm trying to We have Mr. Boogity yeah so disney plus is out in the background uh i'm trying to play we have mr boogity playing without the sound on just to in case you haven't seen online there's
Starting point is 00:07:51 a big movement uh to confuse the disney plus algorithm and to get disney to realize that there's a huge market or think that there's a huge market for mr boogity and hopefully launch a cinematic universe or just launch at least tv series so you guys so you've been playing it on loop all day here i have not but i figured that i started in the evening so you can't see this but it's there's a message that's come up it says you've reached your boogity limit for the day please check out the mandalorian they're forcing you into We are taking control Straight to Mandalorian If you liked Mr. Boogity
Starting point is 00:08:28 You have to watch The Mandalorian A video from Bob Iger comes up Hi, I'm Bob Iger You've been watching a lot of Mr. Boogity We've noticed we're going to ask you to watch Some of the other programming on Disney Plus My company has spent a lot of money
Starting point is 00:08:44 On a certain series, and we'd appreciate if you'd respect our wishes. We all appreciate this funny joke, but we're ahead of you. We get it. Believe me, we get it. We think it's very funny. We purchased the Boogity franchise
Starting point is 00:09:00 from under-director Oz Scott. He was... He gave it over plenty willingly. When he showed us his plans for the third film, we laughed and said, we're going to go another way. Is Oz Scott still alive? Have we checked?
Starting point is 00:09:17 I believe so. Does sound like a fake name of a director. Yeah. From the 80s. No, we've looked him up. os scott's around the the shepherd of the of the boogity franchise and eventually he'll be trotted out at forced appearances uh when uh boogity's edge is built at disney parks worldwide yes i love it very much it's like mr boogity on acid um so yeah as you said all right yeah this is a campaign started
Starting point is 00:09:46 by our friend and guest uh past guest van roba show to like really try to make disney think that there is a uh a strong desire for mr boogity and now all of the kind of green light decisions uh have been kind of ai'd and automated so they they may have to make more like there may be no say in it like no human voice involved that they would just someone would get an email being like okay on the slate is a new boogity no one decided we have to do this now people get a memo there's a release date summer 2022 and then it's okay well here we go yeah everyone just wakes up and finds out what the new things are one of the robots starts writing the script that writes all the like live action reboot movies that aren't anything they're scanning richard maser's face so if he dies uh he can still do i forget if he's mr but if that's the dad or mr boogity mr boogity
Starting point is 00:10:37 by the way we should say is a film from 1986 it was on like the magical world of disney and eisner did an intro for it it seems like it has a strong presence in people's minds and hearts. Wait, so they've cut out all the Eisner... They're not framing any of this with Disney, unfortunately. We Google... I mean, I searched Eisner just in the search bar, and there's nothing. Nothing. He's just been wiped from Disney memory.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Or is there something? Is there a piece of Eisner content anywhere on Disney Plus? Not that they've marked it, at least. Or maybe... Yeah. Yeah. So perhaps he snuck into something but there's no... There should obviously
Starting point is 00:11:08 be like a best of Eisner because they have different boxes that say like Star Wars Marvel. Once you just say Eisner it should just be his face and you click on it and it's all of his greatest hits. His greatest intros. Perhaps his greatest intro. No, I was going to say, did you mean
Starting point is 00:11:24 Josh Gad? No, I didn't mean Gad. Stop trying to guide me algorithm. one of his perhaps his greatest intro sorry no i was gonna say did you mean josh gad no i didn't mean gad stop trying to guide me algorithm all right we'll play gad there's like a deep fake where like michael eisner you click on him it's michael eisner for a second and then he puts a mandalorian helmet on and then the show just starts uh you want to see michael eisner very fascinating huh like no gold bloom no not everything can be according to you get away it is thinking about though the mandalorian the idea that the secret is that it's michael eisner under the helmet is pretty good maybe that is a good twist anything is on the table uh i should you know we also in checking the socials there were
Starting point is 00:12:05 apparently people who were upset that we didn't support their cause of the apple dumpling gang being the first thing to watch oh right to throw off the algorithm and i'm in support of that too i'm all in support of throwing off the algorithm we're not yes not supporting to me this feels like a sanders warren kind of thing i like both i sides. I like both sides. I think they're, you know, they're... Yeah, they're both fine. There's one clear choice. What? Yeah, they're both great. One of them voted for Reagan twice.
Starting point is 00:12:35 The Apple Dublin Gang. Just a player in the game, you know? Just a player in the game, baby. Either the point is... The Apple Dublin Gang doesn't want to abolish ICE. That's fine. Yeah, that's fine. Look, it's like they say, not, not boogity, us.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Not him, us. What you're finding is I don't pay as much attention to politics as I do, you know, Mr. Boogity on the day to day. The point is, clearly, the Mandalorian is Biden. So we're all in it together. We're all trying to overthrow what people think is the obvious choice and that if you kind of stop and think about it, it's a little dull, it's a little sleepy,
Starting point is 00:13:18 it doesn't maybe have the freshest ideas. And that's why we just have to unite behind a voice for change. Bleeding out of one eye his teeth are falling out of its mouth mandalorian is like sniffing jabba's dancer's hair um can't stop can i i just say because this is sort of like uh i'm gonna say this now since we're talking about disney plus and then we can throw it to the sector keeper for what what sure he's in this i guess we should do that can we just cancel let's talk about this this is great i i we can do both um we uh so kind of uh annexed into this stage the the disney plus activation booth yes while we all went down together to go see it. And we're quickly informed that, well, folks,
Starting point is 00:14:08 we're not online right now. This is not working. Oh, yeah, it really was a display booth for the Wreck-It Ralph-themed error message that is displayed on Disney+, because that's what the monitors were showing us. So you could fiddle around with the user interface, but you could not sign up there. Scott, you were able to get a free button though i did i told i swore that i had signed up
Starting point is 00:14:32 earlier in the day so they gave me a button this was on the day of the launch we were at i hate to brag but we were all together at the official booth on the official launch day of disney plus and i got a button commemorating it, and I think that's the story. You think that booth is where they launched it from? It's where they, yeah, the red button was there. Yeah. The whole Disneyland Resort surged with energy. That little line that comes out of the logo
Starting point is 00:14:56 shot up out of the booth. There's four iPad Pros. Like, that's what it's running on. I was just going to say, this happened twice. You excitedly to an employee of Downtown Disney, that guy, and then I think the person in one of the places we're going to talk about today, you excitedly said, you know, the McClunky thing. Greedo said McClunky.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Do you know about McClunky? Yep. And you said it so excitedly, and the person just really, both times looked like you were out of your mind. It's weird that a 60 year old Disney employee doesn't know everything as soon as it happens and everyone's already made. Things that are very popular on Twitter
Starting point is 00:15:33 only. Don't you know this is three hours old already on Twitter? It's all over. Yeah, McClunky. Feel free to explain. People noticed when Disney Plus launched, they watched Star Wars New Hope and the famous Greedo scene where Han kills Greedo that's been changed about 10 times by George Lucas. It had been changed again.
Starting point is 00:15:55 And this time, they kind of both shoot at each other at the same time. And that's kind of happened in the last cut, I believe. But the difference this time was that Greedo says, Mcunky and then he dies mclunky mclunky and then he yeah shots and then grillo's dead and everyone was like what the hell is this because everybody's wondering who's going to shoot first in this one let's go straight to that scene will it be answer a or answer b and then it was a c or really a x or a z that nobody could have ever guessed yeah uh mcclunkey and now we have a word that we know has been gifted to us from george lucas in 2012 he gave us the word mcclunkey i think yeah so george yeah it came out that this was not because
Starting point is 00:16:37 some people were upset about it thought disney was fucking around with star wars again but it was george lucas before he sold the company he wanted to add a very important piece of dialogue to Star Wars, McClunkey, and he did it, and then he handed it off to Disney. Yeah, so he, I guess, yeah,
Starting point is 00:16:54 that was his last little gift to us, the gift of McClunkey, which I like. I will be on record. I'm not the first person to say that, but I like McClunkey. Yeah, I'm into it, and it was making me smile all day.
Starting point is 00:17:06 So at the Disney Plus sign-up booth, the guy is like, oh, yeah, so you signed up, huh? Have you watched The Mandalorian? And I said, no, do you know about McClunky? So it's this new thing that Greedo says when, and then almost the same thing happened as we were being led into Ralph Vernon's Jazz Kitchen, where the hostess saw my button, and like, oh, Disney, have you watched the Mandalorian yet
Starting point is 00:17:28 and I said no do you know about McClunky and in both cases they didn't even say I don't know what you're talking about or I'm confused they just didn't say anything yeah it was eerie they were scared of you I think so yes yeah it was edgy they I feel
Starting point is 00:17:41 like they were all like hitting silent panic buttons they were all trained to ask how about the Mandalorian? Clearly, yes. Here's a way you can personalize your guest interactions today, on the day of the launch. And I found the code that shut down the Disney robots. If you needed to bring a Westworld robot in for repair,
Starting point is 00:18:00 that's the secret code to get them to shut down and be malleable so you can take them backstage. I think that's what happened. The secret word him to like shut down and be malleable so you can take him backstage i think that's what happened the secret word is mcclunky and everybody all the cyborgs melted you were probably like is this some like racist code that's gonna get me in trouble like who are you can i just get you to say mcclunky could i film it hey just say it it's right it's a fun thing yeah it's cool fortune you'll be a star overnight the uh the disney plus activation booth uh is where i learned about an unsettling uh what i'll call unsettling series uh apparently there's a bunch of shorts to tie into toy story 4 called forky
Starting point is 00:18:38 asks a question and uh real big uh and this is on the sample browsing. I don't even think that was the fold like Disney+, but the sample providers. Forky asked a question, colon, what is money? And the explanation, Ham attempts to give Forky a lesson on how the U.S. monetary system works. So that might be one of the bleakest pieces of entertainment I have ever seen. Oh, Ham, you know what I got to tell you?
Starting point is 00:19:10 We shouldn't tax those billionaires. That's what I think, you know? They create job opportunities. Yeah, corporations shouldn't be taxed at all. Don't you think, Forky? Don't you think? You know, you worked hard enough. You earned it.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Any four-year-olds watching this, may this influence your future voting. What is money? Listen to me. Listen to Ham. Did you watch it? No, I don't think. I don't think. I wish I watched it.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Yeah, I'm sure there were definitely themes. So this, well, we're doing exactly what we, Jason, what you said. We're adding to an exhaustive amount of kind of we don't even know i'm telling you i'm cherishing every minute of i didn't mean like we should make this one shorter we can't shortchange you came all the way here it's got to be a minimum two and a half hours but that being said now this while this technically was what we all said was part of the stage because this was a surprise thing on the stage, so I don't want to hear any fucking coughing from the sector keeper, because it was on point, but let's hear the rest of what we're supposed to talk about.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Where are we going today? Boys, boys, today's stage includes Wonderground Gallery, Disney Home, and Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen. Good luck, boys. Boys, boys. Wait a minute. Okay, so that's all great, and we're going to do all that. But you know what? There was one.
Starting point is 00:20:46 This stage was hopping when we all went, because not only was it the surprise of the Disney Plus booth, but also there was a magic show happening clearly within the confines of us. We didn't even have to annex it. It was happening and breaking out right when we got there. We saw a magician setting up. He had also an iPad down the countdown on it maybe the longest two minutes of my life he called us hipsters at some point he called us hipsters
Starting point is 00:21:17 even though he was the one wearing the pork pie hat the three-piece suit well i what my main memory of it is that we had a dinner reservation in probably six minutes yes and we asked when does the magic show start and he said five minutes and or maybe a lot maybe it was maybe flip that uh and uh and jason you were like okay let's get out of here you were like you cannot have been more so hungry you were so oh okay, let's get out of here. I was so hungry. You were so. Oh, no. I said, I go, yeah, I go, you know, they let you get in if you're like 10 minutes past the reservation. You go, no, they will.
Starting point is 00:21:55 No, that's going to be a problem. And I said, oh, I thought before you've not been so concerned. And you said, no, I'm always concerned about the reservation time. Well, I like to call ahead. I don't think that's big enough. Oh, you said that. I call ahead. I do call ahead. This didn't i like to call ahead i don't think that's big enough oh you said that i call ahead i do call ahead this didn't seem worthy to call him but also i didn't know everyone seemed on different irony levels so i didn't know if we were playing along or if we were watching this guy or if we were like no we're going to dinner come. You gotta watch those levels again, Mike. Jason's getting hot. He just did a fucking impression of me,
Starting point is 00:22:31 so I can match it. That was fairly accurate to my memory. You really exploded at me. I didn't want to be there, so I was expressing my emotions. What do you mean you didn't want to see a magic show? You're choosing magic over dinner at 8.30.
Starting point is 00:22:48 It's plenty reasonable. This downtown Disney is so goddamn dry. These stores aren't fun. They're not interesting. The least that could have happened is we saw five minutes of magic, so we could have talked about it and goofed around. I was hungry and cranky. And you were like, no.
Starting point is 00:23:02 No more fun stuff to talk about on the show. And we were near Ballast Point and you saw the words Ballast Point and it made you think about those extra $3 that you didn't want to spend. So you're agitated from that.
Starting point is 00:23:11 It's all piling up. So we had to do, we said five minutes of the show. I love getting grief from you two very normal people. The most normal men.
Starting point is 00:23:21 I take your stand without irony. Go on back to your normal ways let's hear it we need content the magic man was content
Starting point is 00:23:30 he was in the level we had to we did have to see that's a very good point we watched a minute of it I didn't know what I was expecting well he did tell us
Starting point is 00:23:38 you can watch a whole thing or you can watch two minutes oh yeah that was like very low self esteem kind of like, look, fellas, I know you don't want to see this,
Starting point is 00:23:48 but bodies drop bodies. Just hang out for a few seconds. That was the vibe, yes. And he was hooked up via a wireless head-mounted mic to the speakers that were on the things. And so we waited two minutes. We're just counting and watching the seconds go down. And he starts this kind of corny show.
Starting point is 00:24:12 And who does he pick? He's like, I need a volunteer. And just zeroes in on the angriest human being watching him. And then we all look to you like, it goes and you glit it is the sharpest daggers you stare as if you we might help you get out of it and instead of course we go yay forward it felt like you stood there for 30 seconds you really hung back you hung back instead of just being like oh that's funny i funny. I should go do this. That'll be a funny story or whatever. I swear it was one, two, three, four, five, six, and so on until 30. My therapist helped me practice deep breathing exercises.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Yeah, but I'll help a guy out. I'm not crazy about audience participation, but I did it. You did it very graciously. And he did it in a very good card trick. You were gaming once you did it? Can you describe what the card trick? I don't remember the specifics very well. It was a classic setup of pick a card,
Starting point is 00:25:14 show it to the audience, don't show it to me, shuffling the deck, put it back in the deck, pull out the card. Oh, it's obviously my card was the ten of diamonds he shows everyone this is your card it's a five of clubs right i'm like that's not my card and uh yeah and then he he reaches into his pocket and pulls out he pulled he pulls out the five of clubs from his pocket and then i turned the car over in my hand and it was the ten of diamonds great trick great trick yeah it was great yeah yeah yeah he did a good job fine
Starting point is 00:25:48 great trick well look we're all we're all skewed because we've all seen a saucer appear in a small room we've seen the greatest creature history yes yeah yeah what would you say the greatest trick you've ever seen? Of all magic tricks? I mean, I think it's that finale at the Copperfield show. Okay. That was truly miraculous. The UFO.
Starting point is 00:26:16 I have seen it three times, and I've cried every time. Cried? I cried tears. I cried tears. You really gifted us that entire episode. Yeah, yeah. We really should thank you for that. And our awareness of the whole thing. Check it out on the Patreon, please.
Starting point is 00:26:28 If you're listening, you're not a Patreon subscriber, and you're in Vegas, or you're not in Vegas, go to Vegas and see the David Copperfield show. I don't know if you said that on the regular podcast. I can't remember. I've explicitly said go see it, but it's due. And then listen to that episode. Because it's a great discussion of it. And then just kind of try not to think about some of the more problematic parts of David Copperfield's life.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Well, they went away, and I assume for nefarious reasons. Yeah, like Jeff Goldblum says, if you haven't been convicted in the court of law, you've done nothing wrong. And Jeff Goldblum now is one of the major stars of Disney+. So you can trust him as much as you can trust Mickey Mouse. And that's the end of that story. Yeah, life finds a way, I guess. We should say also, by the way, just as we're heading into this stage, because a fellow fan of Copperfield and who was with us earlier in the ordeal,
Starting point is 00:27:30 and I know is your friend, Eva Anderson, you heard the episode. She disappeared. She is, speaking of, she's gone, and we don't know what is up.
Starting point is 00:27:39 That was chilling. I've been texting her, and no response since that, whatever that was. Oh, Jesus. Because we're too scared to text her, so we just kind of like were worried. Because what if we, I mean, I want to check on her, but what if like, what if we didn't and whoever has her sees the text and then comes to get us?
Starting point is 00:27:55 I just don't want to feel guilty. So, I've just kind of put it out of my mind. Like, you're just leaving her? You just, I mean, I'm not doing anything either. I'm concerned. Out of sight, out of mind, really. I'm worrying about it, but I'm not doing anything either. I'm concerned. I'm worrying about it, but worrying isn't doing anything, I guess. She would want us to do the boogity challenge.
Starting point is 00:28:12 She would want us to be focusing on the boogity challenge. What if Mr. Boogity has her? Is that where it's heading? Who knows? It could be. It's crazy. We can promise to taught concise storytelling ahead in this ordeal, but we can't tell you what's happening. It is weird.
Starting point is 00:28:33 I'll say it is weird that our friend was sitting right where I am now and just, I guess, disappeared. It was that spot. Does it make you feel like being in a murder house or something? Yeah, a little bit. You can sort of feel the negative vibes. That's not the only thing that makes me feel like that sure what that means exactly this doesn't sound right i don't want to i say that to say uh it said we're in a boss level a boss stage right now so i let's learn the lesson of of eva if we never see her again let her be a patron saint
Starting point is 00:29:07 for uh hasty uh guest escapes uh you should as soon as we're done here you should get the fuck out because i don't want you to now i'm gonna run as soon as we've discussed everything uh in great detail sure yes i'm gonna yeah book before whatever again that's fine like if that takes an hour and a half two hours it doesn't matter but i think once we're wrapping up yeah could be absolutely uh whatever it takes because we're now heading into if we're still talking about this when the sun comes up are you able to upload the beginning part of it uh at a certain point i'll just switch the feed live yes really yeah we're then live Yeah 12 hour Right The Studio 60
Starting point is 00:29:48 Where they had to bud in To address the stolen joke And then again For the feed in Australia Or whatever it was It sounds like the Studio 60 episode Yeah God it could be
Starting point is 00:29:56 Our big clock The big clock That's ticking down So we better hurry And we better hurry And get Everybody's screaming and asking for a wonder ground gallery let's get to it okay jason let's just hear let's hear gail go ahead and get
Starting point is 00:30:10 them out get all of your wonder ground gallery thoughts out jesus it's an art gallery uh where they sell disney uh art right yeah but kind of along the lines of uh for a younger crowd yeah sort of like the etsy um uh deviant art sort of like yeah design influence that's what it is and that's what makes it so confusing that we're going to talk about it for 25 more minutes but you'd think maybe we could just get through it but you know we do have to talk about have about. Have any of you bought anything from there? I bought, I think so. I think I bought a print. I know I bought Christmas gifts and stuff there.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Because when they pick like a design, they usually put it on a print and a postcard and mugs and stuff. Like this design I clocked walking in, which I call Mickey and his items. So it's Mickey Mouse. It's a cute Mickey Mouse. And some of the stuff is stuff Mickey has, like hats he wears. And some of it is classic merchandise Mickey has appeared on. And you can get that as a print or you can get it as a little mug. As a cup. Mickey and his objects.
Starting point is 00:31:22 It's a cool mug. Mickey and his items. Yeah. Great. I feel like I have gotten something here, but i can't remember what it was well you didn't get this here but i did notice it there that the um this the funko uh pop oh right the matterhorn car with the snowman in the car which is now on display in your ever-growing uh pop merch collection. And this is where I got you the Splash Mountain Funkos, which are up there, too,
Starting point is 00:31:49 because I texted you that, hey, someone on Twitter said these are in stock. I'm a California adventurer. Should I go? And he's like, go get me one. Yeah, that's true. Well, I mean, the vehicle pops.
Starting point is 00:32:00 I don't want to get off on a thing, a rant here, as Dennis Miller might say. No, you never. I don't want to play a game of billiards using the earth, as Dennis Miller might say. The Funko Pops are the vehicles I'm way into. The vehicle, for whatever reason, makes the Pops better. I'm not an inherent Pop fan.
Starting point is 00:32:26 But don't you think that the vehicle ones are better than sort of the normal ones in general? You know what? I've been looking at that Splash Mountain one. I don't even know that I could have told you that was a Funko. Because it makes it its own toy. That's what I think. So, like, I got, like, the Madame Leota I have, which is a different thing. But the Funkos, in general,
Starting point is 00:32:41 if it's just, like, the cast of Supernatural, boring, it's just the same flat Funko face. But like these force the designers to actually create something new. So like that's, I think like that's the difference. So that's why I like these better than the average. Of course, I would have normally bought the Supernatural toys if they looked better. Ending after 16 seasons.
Starting point is 00:33:02 You love those brothers. Because I love all 16 seasons of Supernatural on the CW network. No one knows what I'm talking about. I don't know. You re-watched all 16 seasons? Have I re-watched them?
Starting point is 00:33:12 Have you watched them all? Oh, for the purposes of the bit, yes. Do you actually like the show? I don't know anything about it. No, okay. It could be.
Starting point is 00:33:19 It's hard to tell what's a good show or not a good show. Yeah, I don't know. I have no idea except for there's only one truth in this world and it's Mr.ogity and right now as we're looping it because it's on tv in front of us the dad who's a gag gift seller is holding a a mummy a flaccid mummy body really kind of a whole family of pranksters according to the description you think they shot this in one day this movie
Starting point is 00:33:45 i think so because i was pointing out that mr boogity doesn't move from his spot he stands on his mark and they kind of move around him is it all in the house i think so it's one of those classic like just one night in a house kind of tales there's a there's one scene where they're like on the way to the house now that now the class the piano is playing itself and the mummy that was just a a toy or something a dummy is now is now kind of like you should really be uh watching mr boogity along with listening to this episode and to keep the boogity challenge alive there's disembodied hands clapping that's cool to keep the boogity challenge alive uh there's disembodied hands clapping that's cool to keep the boogity challenge alive just be playing it in your house all the time i was gonna say could you go back and edit into when it restarted and put in one of you guys saying okay start your boogities now yeah we could yeah and then they'll be uh in boogity
Starting point is 00:34:39 sync with us can you check time code mike yeah yeah yeah so this episode will serve as like a casual mr boogity commentary but we obviously will do a real one as well. Yeah. We're at 26, 27 right now. All right. I'm going to restart it now at 26, 27, Mr. Boogity Disney Plus on three, and that'll be on the three I will start it.
Starting point is 00:34:57 So one, two, three, I'll start. It should be one, two, boogity, boogity, boo. Okay, but am I going to boogity,ity boogity and then i start it right as we say boo or after the on boo on boo okay one two boogity boogity boo start boo is start yes all right all right here we go 26 26 27 you should there's the two actresses and one is yelling right okay all right one two boogity boo oh i i hit it but it didn't work yeah you didn't know the shit well that's oh god that's what happens when we drink beers when we record we need more beer too actually i'm out of
Starting point is 00:35:28 my beer yeah um so yeah i'll do a haze i'll do whatever's in there we put four on ice uh probably all still cold if they're all still cold it's fine so uh wait i'll try the pecan there's a lot of different artists it's like jason's our server at uh ralph brencan. There's a lot of different artists. It's like Jason's our server at Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen. A lot of different artists have their work displayed at the Wonderground Gallery. Shag is like a big one. A lot of Shag. A lot of Shag influence. A lot of like it's very retro-y and like he'll do like T-Bird stuff.
Starting point is 00:35:59 And I like some of that. They had the print-on-demand kiosk where you can get attraction posters, but there was no vintage ones. It was all like new designs new designs really because i've seen it where they were vintage on those i've bought those before i like those i like the kiosks those are good because you can you have a real nice option a lot of options and they show up at your house so there's a there's an artist that uh jace and i very familiar Jace Sheridan and I Are very familiar with Named J. Scott Campbell And he Drew comics
Starting point is 00:36:28 Comics that we read Growing up Famously Gen 13 And a comic called Danger Girl And they were both comics Where he would draw
Starting point is 00:36:37 Look it was the 90s It was the 90s He would draw very like Sexy girls We were 12 11, 12 These images Imprinted on my brain at the time.
Starting point is 00:36:47 It's your first J-O. Yeah, we got it. Not first. Oh my God. Oh my God. No, I mean, has anyone jerked off to a cartoon character? Yeah, sure. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Of course. It's the ones we're talking about right now. I mean, when you're that age. One raspberry beer. Look what happens. A single beer. And I'm ready to let it all out. Let's get a list of every cartoon character.
Starting point is 00:37:17 So here's my point. My point is they have like, he draws the Disney princesses. I'll do my list first. One, Mr. Boogity. Okay, there you go. Sorry, go ahead so he like there's a lot of different prints of him like drawing the disney princesses so it's like snow white and the evil queen and i'm like that's kind of weird because he has drawn a line of much uh more Much more pornographic versions of these fairy tales. We're looking at a very sultry Snow White.
Starting point is 00:37:48 These are not officially licensed. No, these are not officially licensed ones. No, and they don't sell them at the Wonderground Gallery, but I'm just looking at his... They sold some body ones. There are a couple that, like, kind of are on the line of, like, body. But I think it's funny that, like... Rated B for body. You can go in there and you get
Starting point is 00:38:05 like a pg version of it and then you go on his website and you can get the pg-13 to our version of it as well so he's probably got like two versions of every sketch he's got like the dirty version and the less dirty version anyway so what wait so what did he do what's at the gallery you can buy the stuff like this artist In residence for a while And they had a line Of like Yeah like stuff like this And like you know
Starting point is 00:38:30 Perfectly fine I mean there's some Other ones But then there's ones Where the cat's naked Yeah the cat's Dick is out It's a striped penis
Starting point is 00:38:40 It's in the shape Of a smile Yeah And there's Nothing else The rest disappeared But it's weird to me i don't know i don't know if shag has like dirty pictures on his you know on his other website like i'm just saying i think i find it funny that like you can get the like disney version of the
Starting point is 00:39:02 fairy tales and then you can get like the dirtier version of the fairy tale from this one artist who specialized in just like making 13 year old boys buy his comics because of the way he was drawing women boy you get to buy those at the under wonder ground gallery yes the under sneak through the uh there's an alley in the back Yes The seedy wonder belly That's before the metal detectors Oh yeah There's that one store The rinse Sorry
Starting point is 00:39:35 Oh spoilers We're going to talk about a store outside Of the metal detectors Yeah we can't I'll cut it out Sorry I cut that out So they've got the They've got the like little
Starting point is 00:39:52 The blind box toys in there They've got a variety of new things They of course have still after years Hipster Mickey An evergreen Disney thing Mickey wearing glasses Drinking a coffee that fucking hipster wearing a scarf and a jacket
Starting point is 00:40:11 like us gross yeah you know what you're right that those basic acts don't make you hateful but i don't think that i what i think about Hipster Mickey is that he is not present. He is looking down. He's looking down at his phone. As opposed to regular Mickey, who is the most present. He's welcoming you. He's excited to be in the fireworks show or the parade or to be playing turkey in the straw in a barnyard jamboree.
Starting point is 00:40:44 So I don't like the idea of a disaffected Mickey. Well, yeah, he should be taking that phone to the den. We all know that. Taking that smartphone into the den. Yes, don't do it in front of me. If you need to make a telephone call, use the den. Mickey, remember your own words. God, hipster Mickey.
Starting point is 00:41:04 He's probably just out of his mind on CBD. He's drooling like the keeper. Yeah. You know, there is a elsewhere in the, I swear I'm not jumping ahead, but if we were jumping ahead, would anyone complain? In Disney Home, there is a hipster movie. Whoa, whoa, whoa. We can move on to Disney.
Starting point is 00:41:28 I'm done with myself. Jason, you're giving me permission to move on sure yeah i'm taking it disney home yes we got it let's go okay we're at disney oh my god jason i can hug you uh if there weren't microphones blocking us okay so uh there is there was some there was a mug or something i saw or maybe it was on like a bag of coffee or something i saw it must be coffee um there's a hip there i saw hipster mickey merch but this hipster mickey is different and this hipster mickey you knew he was a hipster because he was wearing a retro epcot shirt oh i didn't see that yeah yeah why did you get it this is weird it's it is like there's fun there is a like version of Mickey that reflects me. He's conveying hipsterism via loving coffee and vintage Epcot. I was like amazed they were like that keenly aware of what I would want. It's like the algorithm was speaking to me within the Disney home store.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Wow. They, if only there was a hipster Mickey in the shape of the Mickey star trader sign. Oh my God. There was a, that's the thing I forgot, let's not use this as a ticket to go back to Wonder Grand Gallery. I think we're already
Starting point is 00:42:29 back. No, no, no. Okay, there was a painting of Hipster Mickey and the abstract background, I didn't even notice it until I was going through my pictures later, the kind of muted background is tumbling neon Mickey from Tomorrowland. So there are hip items
Starting point is 00:42:46 wow that represent my favorite uh uh disney imagery the algorithm put that background in after it's all he's going back looking at it well they're trying to show that they're the boss of me like you can boogity challenge all day but we know what you want yeah don't go thinking you have control gerdner there will be probably within five to ten years some sort of a kiosk you walk up to it reads your mind and it creates your perfect mickey like whatever you like your dream mickey is your dream mickey is dressed as mr boogity the famous cape but he is undefeatable um yeah what's so disney home is like there's like mugs and so this used to be d street which was going a lot because that's where you'd get the vinyl
Starting point is 00:43:39 nations and like distressed like softer nicer looking shirts and then they kind of went this will make more money if we make it home goods and i think they were right i i'm not sure i haven't seen the books i'm not sure if they are making more money maybe well i was reading the price of stuff the stuff that retails at a higher price point than like yeah there's a lot of just a lot of stuff d Street at least had different types of merchandise you wouldn't find
Starting point is 00:44:08 in the park but like so much of the merchandise is the same stuff and it's just mugs it's like all the mugs they have in World of Disney
Starting point is 00:44:15 and the park there are a lot of Christmas ornaments a lot of Christmas stuff out a lot of things for dogs there's dog stuff
Starting point is 00:44:22 but those are that's in the parks too you can find that there's a little Hanukkah section I don't know if you saw that There was like a dreidel Go through several doors That's also in the underbelly Can I see the Jewish things please
Starting point is 00:44:38 It's this way Did the dreidel have any sort of Disney branding on it Yeah it had Mickey I should have taken a picture Yeah it had mickey and uh i should have taken a picture yeah it had you know mickey and the gang oh that's fun they had a there's like a tray with a picture of a menorah thing you know okay i have a cursory hmm they so they were just putting the regular enough to make walt spin in his grave on my land how dare you uh we uh actually well you know a friend and uh listener dave soldinger was uh was talking about how he was texting me about how there there are no
Starting point is 00:45:15 primary disney characters who he feels are definitively jewish i was honestly just thinking are there any disney characters who are jew in my head? And I feel like I... And I, like, I'm thinking... Technically, Disney owns Krusty the Clown now. Yeah, that's true. Is he the first? Is that why they bought Fox in general? To diversify?
Starting point is 00:45:40 Yeah, I mean, obviously Mickey's a Christian. Of course. I mean, Mickey's a Christian Of course I mean Mickey is The Christ figure Yeah He dies for our sins In Fantasmic Goofy Christian as well I think
Starting point is 00:45:56 Maybe he doesn't practice Donald Christian Scuttle I would say Flint Hart Glomgold is a scottish jew is a bunny yamming okay flint heart glomgold the villain in duck tales oh you don't know flint heart glomgold i do not i do not he's got the big kilts. Oh. Let's see. Yeah. Oh, I found, yeah, there's a Jewish character in the Three Little Pigs, the Disney cartoon.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Oh, no. Oh, no. I don't want to see this joke. You've pulled up an article called Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Bigot. Jesus. It's real. Yikes. This won't be on Disney Plus
Starting point is 00:46:46 Yeah that cultural depictions Warning isn't going to get him out of this one Let's just take a look at this Oh my god Don't take a raspberry beer sip Before you look at that This is ten times worse than I thought it would be Yeah I thought that was We'll have to read into this.
Starting point is 00:47:07 No, we didn't. Google image Disney Jewish cartoon. And wonderful things are found. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's real. That is real. Okay. But that's fine.
Starting point is 00:47:21 As a member. That's how we look. One of the chosen people. you're giving them a pass i'm giving a thumbs up okay i love this character great i get it you feel seen yeah are you working on a pitch are you working on a disney plus yeah it's called glom gold yeah no it's good to uh feel represented again google disney jewish cartoon you'll see what i'm talking about warning advisory warning for this google um and that's disney
Starting point is 00:47:52 turn off uh turn off pretty much uh anything you need to know about disney home is that um good for holiday gifts yeah what's up shop good for stocking stuffers are you advertising for them sure uh yeah you can get oven mitts you can get spatulas uh so yeah someone was listening to somebody who like works at disney home was like the guy who had the idea for the brand is like oh there i'm gonna listen to what these nice boys say about me and like oh no a chunk about disney's anti-semitist oh i also don't uh for the record necessarily think he was like more anti-semitic than anyone else anyone else back then or now there was one i mean there's one incident i read about what he did like a jewish voice like when people were in animators were leaving to go to like fleischer or something
Starting point is 00:48:45 he's like did some like oh you're gonna go to those jews like made something like and that someone told it's like okay who wasn't doing that but i don't know i think it's like it's fine i love this stuff and they don't make the statue come to life and say that they don't uh yeah the partner's stature doesn't quote that so anyway i think i think it's fine sure well i feel fine because we are now lined up to the part where boogity has arrived he was the only it was the only studio to host lenny riefenstahl well yes that is true all right he was trying to. They left that out of the Smart businessman. They left that out of the
Starting point is 00:49:28 Mary Poppins Tom Hanks movie. Hang on, I got another meeting to go to over here. Well, Mrs. Riefenstahl, good to see ya. Boy, this other lady ain't giving me the rights
Starting point is 00:49:40 as easy as you. Well, well, well, Mrs. Riefen evenstall that's how it sounds in the movie i'm walt disney i bet the boys at the studio you wouldn't get on a ride i just won 20 bucks i just re-watched that so that was one of my random if you guys had like a random flip through on disney plus where you didn't watch the full movie you're just like i'm gonna watch this one yeah it's a little scene mostly that okay do you have a good one like an indicative like here's what i wanted to see it's a good question too i watched a lot of openings i watched uh why should i worry oliver and company i did too and i watched once upon a time in new york city yeah i watched my life in new y York City Very good Very sad sequence Wow we're in sync But then The Dodger man
Starting point is 00:50:26 He is still such a cool dog I still I'm so impressed with him The Dodger man? The artful Dodger? The dog The dog Oh yeah
Starting point is 00:50:35 The Billy Joel We're talking about Oliver I know I know But you said the man And I was like what? The man Did I say that? Maybe
Starting point is 00:50:41 The Dodger man You can call a Dodger Man. I've had a beer and a half. I'm out of control. I know. You're off the leash. You're like that Poiple Hayes getting to your head. It doesn't have a witch doctor on it, the beer that you're drinking.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Chip and Dale does not have the original recorded theme. What? It's like a re-recorded version. What? It sucks. It's weird. Oh, no. DuckTales, same thing.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Chip and Dale, though, is also blown up aspect ratio-wise. No, they didn't kill them or something. They didn't blow them up. Was that what you were reacting to? No, just that
Starting point is 00:51:12 no one's really talking about that. Look, there's a lot of things that I'm going to blow the lid off right now. What happened is Scooter Braun owns that. Scooter Braun and the Carlisle group
Starting point is 00:51:23 technically owned the Chip and Dale. The original recording. Or was the master destroyed at the Universal Fire? They don't know it was destroyed, but they technically own it. They don't know it doesn't exist
Starting point is 00:51:36 anymore. We will never get true remasters of the Chip and Tails theme. There's instrument lines of tailspin we'll never hear again, thanks to that fire That sucks Giles Martin will never go in And remix the Disney afternoon songs
Starting point is 00:51:50 For some sort of Cirque du Soleil show That'll never happen They'll never add a ghostly John Lennon demo To the theme for Gummy Bears Sucks But Chippendale Rescue Rangers Is blown up And looks like it was remastered.
Starting point is 00:52:05 And DuckTales is not blown up. It's in the regular aspect ratio, but it looks like shit. So I'm not sure how this got determined, what was presented in which way or in what way. I don't know. Maybe because no one was paying attention. No one, yeah, maybe no one cared. My guess with The Simpsons was they just shuttled over from one server to the other, the FX ones.
Starting point is 00:52:28 But I thought, didn't FX put the ones out in 4.3? They did, and we're hoping. Did they? I don't know. I thought it was available. I think they did make both available, so hopefully Disney will do that, and hopefully they will release the Snyder Cut of The Simpsons,
Starting point is 00:52:43 of every episode of The Simpsons. Jason, any Disney Plus wanderings? Have you had a sec? No, I have. I just started last night. I haven't gone deep. Oh, man. It's the best part of being alive.
Starting point is 00:52:59 I just haven't put up anything that actual people who are into Disneyland and stuff would care about it besides the Imagineering show. There's one other one. Disney parks content is low. There's one other one. It's like Disneyland through the seasons, I think.
Starting point is 00:53:13 But all this kind of boring though. That one's on YouTube. Like a lot of things have been on YouTube. That's the thing. What we're after is and has always been on YouTube. Yeah. I mean, we want a full remastered bob hope doing jokes in the contemporary at the opening of walt disney world that's really like all like the weird stuff you
Starting point is 00:53:29 guys have talked about like that was that pinocchio live action like all these crazy things today yeah weird christmas song like that yeah the stuff i like that wouldn't be hard for them to upload it's not like they're holding on to that then they're gonna like make some big announcement that they're releasing the avery shriver like i think they just don't give a shit um but yeah they have so much stuff that would actually be interesting but look it's not film struck i mean it's not for us for yeah that's a good idea though the criterion like they have to be exploring the artisan collection there's like other i think there is a demand for that i mean obviously like we're making the demand right here now but it's like there's other streaming services and honestly when i say others i may be talking
Starting point is 00:54:15 about the wwe network where they're like rumors they're gonna float like an extra five dollar tier if you want to go like hard which is like you want to go deep in the catalog if you want to go like hard, which is like, you want to go deep in the catalog or you want them to like bust out really obscure, like VHS uploaded. You really want to shows. Yeah. How hard do you want to go?
Starting point is 00:54:35 Exactly. And it'll be like five more dollars and maybe Disney will eventually get there where we're all paying. Like, I mean, it's true to see the DVD, like Disney digital or to see the plane of vista home entertainment like yes the roles all of the in uh hotel channel loops yeah like we would pay money
Starting point is 00:54:54 for that but we i we can see all that now right we dare you said do we want nicer quality we want nicer quality but maybe there are a couple missing we We don't know. They have the full library, hopefully. Who knows? My demand is if there is this separate section for people who want to go hard, you should say you want to, and then Mr. Boogity greets you. So, you want more Disney+, do you? He shames you. How boogity boogity badly.
Starting point is 00:55:26 This is Green Goblin, obviously, but that's the same. We've seen boogity boogity boo. They own him now, too. What about, yeah, they do own the Green Goblin. Or no, no, Sony owns him, kind of. Oh, in media. In like movies and stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Sure. TV. Yeah, I hope they put that stuff out there. That would be great. Please. Please do. I mean, they don't own the Travel Channel stuff either sure tv yeah i hope they put that stuff out there that would be great please yeah please do and they don't own the travel channel stuff either for years and years like the making of stuff was just outsourced yeah yeah the travel you mean like behind the scenes behind the scenes sort of specials yeah i see uh mike could you go ahead and queue up mr boogity again yeah sorry we're
Starting point is 00:56:01 now staring at the screen for phantom of theaplex, which I've been meaning to get to. Is Mr. Boogity 35 minutes long? It's really short. Oh, I didn't realize it was so short. Oh, I accidentally put on this megaplex. Oh, there we go. I don't know. I think I've sat through five full viewings of Mr. Boogity in the last 48 hours.
Starting point is 00:56:18 I'm really doing it. You know, while deep in the middle of a daily podcast. Get that Mandalorian out of here. I don't want to see modern dumbo i don't see sad that fucking i don't ever want to see that mask again that's biden go find the one we like go find warren obviously boogity is our favorite warren mr what is this it is already the second hit that comes up for mr say Saving Mr. Banks is the first. We got to top. Okay, maybe that's a tangible goal.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Yeah. That's the first thing we can do. That's the first goal. The second goal would be if you put in the letter M, Mr. Boogity is the first suggestion. All right. Mickey Mouse. All right, here we go.
Starting point is 00:56:59 On one, two, boogity, boogity, boo, I will hit play. Everyone is down. This is a fresh start. And will we be done with the episode by the end of this viewing probably not but let's see we've got at least two boogities left one okay one two boogity boogity boo all right there we are oh it honestly made me so happy to see something of this shitty vhs quality like something so broadcast in 4x3 on the otherwise, you know, very glossy Disney+.
Starting point is 00:57:29 Yeah. I do like this. 90% of the material you watch is in this quality. Absolutely, yeah. This is the nicest quality I've seen in months. It's not taped off of VCR, so. I worked on a clip show that was narrated by David Faustino and it never aired in the United States.
Starting point is 00:57:51 What was it called? Sports a Palooza. Mm hmm. David Faustino would narrate it. What didn't make sense in other countries because they call football different things. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, I think that it was called sports a palooza in like north america like in canada and then they change it to world a palooza for overseas sales old yeah we didn't know what that meant either world a palooza but it was all about sports uh yeah i think i can't remember i mean I could have said this already, but obviously that is not the most number one quality product
Starting point is 00:58:27 that David Faustino ever appeared in. I think we know what that is. So let's keep moving to Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen, y'all. This is the reason you picked this when we gave you, Jason, the stage list. I think you had an odd intrigue with this place as we always have and we have not really sat down and eaten at this place i gotta say in terms of uh things to goof on very disappointing uh yes no kidding because it was very good this was great like mr booty it's it makes me very happy. A real McClunky of a meal.
Starting point is 00:59:05 A Downtown Disney original has been there since it opened. Yeah. A hit. And I think it is still there because it's very good. What a shocker. I always thought it was going to be this cornball thing. I think the name Jazz Kitchen. They didn't even serve cornballs.
Starting point is 00:59:26 They should and could. they probably do them right um i don't i don't know i always thought it was probably stupid i feel like i passed by it and made fun of it why well you made fun of it because of the statues outside there's two like yeah new orleans themed yes statues that look pretty ridiculous there's things to goof on there One is a guy Playing a trumpet And he is wearing Like a sailor hat That says jazz on it
Starting point is 00:59:50 And the J Is a saxophone Yeah Now I would very much Like that hat Maybe I'm not goofing on it I think I'd like it And want a
Starting point is 00:59:58 J for jazz saxophone hat It's a I mean for years I think I've tried to get Jason to wear the captain's hat But Scott as a yacht rock Enthusiast
Starting point is 01:00:08 It does feel like You would have some sort of Captain's hat That you would wear On a special occasion Yeah but I wouldn't do it Like Cause you go to
Starting point is 01:00:15 You go to a You know A Christopher Cross Or a The Holland Oats kind of concert And people are wearing the hat That's a little silly to me Well but that's like
Starting point is 01:00:23 Wearing the band t-shirt To the band they're seeing that's that's a faux pas yeah yeah yeah uh and it's about the spirit not like wearing a literal i'm very picky with my but i i would like to yeah in some venue i think i'd wear a captain's hat but if you wore a captain's hat to like a rolling stones concert that's fine because that's not associated with the audience sure that's a cool thing you're showing your sort of coolness in a different venue. There's no cooler thing I could do in a cooler place. I mean, I'll wear a visor everywhere, so obviously I'm extremely cool.
Starting point is 01:00:56 Both statues look vaguely psychotic. The other one's a chef holding a spoon and a whisker. Is that what it's called a whisk um but he also has like a pot at his crotch with an alligator coming out of it that he's not holding but is uh suspended against him like uh as scott pointed out dick in a box syndrome and that's a crawdad right crawdad and a turtle maybe and a fish a fish an alligator and a crawdad coming out and he looks crazy so it looks like a restaurant that would just be bad yeah it would be silly of where a man the man beckoning you in is holding up a pot of stew with his penis but in fact you go in and it's a wonderful meal i only i knew that the brennan's ran a lot of restaurants in new orleans and uh we learned that uh brennan was involved in
Starting point is 01:01:55 um the creation of bananas foster bananas foster was first invented at the original brennan's um uh brennan's a restaurant in New Orleans. Yes. I think it was, I always get confused if it's Ralph's father or uncle. Uncle. Uncle. Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Because Richard Brennan was also. I think ran the restaurant. Yes. They're all restauranteurs. He's like third generation restauranteur. And the aunt is who figured out Bananas Foster. By setting a banana on fire. Yes.
Starting point is 01:02:30 Or their chef? By grabbing what was around. Yeah. And it was, yeah, maybe somebody else was involved, but the aunt it is attributed to as well. And it's some story where there's a man named, I might be getting the first name wrong maybe robert foster somebody named foster his first name was bananas
Starting point is 01:02:49 we gotta make bananas here good uh dish uh and she like whipped something together really felt like kind of begrudgingly like yeah what do we? And threw it together and it was amazingly a great dessert out of the gate. Foster, this guy they were honoring, was the head of the New Orleans Crime Commission. He cracked down on corruption in the city. I'm a little nervous about what
Starting point is 01:03:18 that, I couldn't find more specific stories but it made me a little worried about what Foster was up to. No, I'm sure everything was fine. Sure, everything was above board? Probably okay. Also uh there was a big new orleans banana trade at the time that this dessert was so that's why there were so many bananas around and it well thank god it wasn't the brennan's but there was another guy one of their competitors who uh was such a huge banana trader that he meddled in order to keep the bananas coming he meddled in the honduran presidential election of 1912 and like had his guy installed so that everything would be on the up and up banana wise for him and the phrase banana republic
Starting point is 01:04:00 refers to things exactly like this wow yeah yeah wow um yes politics being organized to align with americans banana interests huh um but the brendans i couldn't i think what i because you were fishing too jason we were you i think you googled i got nothing i googled ralph brennan accused. That's usually pretty juicy. Nothing. This guy's got a spick and span record. Clean as a whistle. He loves food. He used to work for PricewaterhouseCooper.
Starting point is 01:04:33 He's an accountant. Yeah. And then joined the family business. It seems like he was a good businessman and he had a family name and made some deals. Yeah. I think this guy is squeaky clean you know what i might say a little suspiciously too squeaky clean it makes me a little worried but i'll leave that thought aside okay sure but yes i thought here let me ask this does anyone
Starting point is 01:04:58 have a direct answer for this in the years you've been passing by this place have you had a mental image or any thought as to what ralph who ralph brennan was i thought he was a crazy jazz playing chef like while he's cooking yeah he's also like you know like banging on percussion and hanging on pots and pans i thought he was like a stern southern california businessman like i never actually associated with him like new orleans with him i don't know why i think i thought he was like 700 pounds so we all had vastly different ideas jason what'd you think he was a raccoon like a paul prudhomme who was sort of in the orbit of the brennan family yeah uh uh emerald gossy also a couple degrees removed um yeah i think i maybe i thought
Starting point is 01:05:49 it was akin to the uh you know neighbor of this restaurant house of blues an acroyd with his sort of like you know weird like uh cultural uh uh what do you call it? He's like... Appropriation? Appropriation, yes. Kind of like taking the, like sort of in a corny way, taking this culture and let's make it a theme for a restaurant. And then instead you get in there and it's very charming and it's like genuine.
Starting point is 01:06:17 I think I also assumed that a weird little fake New Orleans outside of Disney and outside of New Orleans Square would be inferior and like a much stupider version of that and not at all it's uh yeah wonderful and very charming and like really wonderfully art directed in there we asked the waitress if ralph ever comes by she told us he was just here last week wow wow and yet though we were maybe i'm just like fishing for flaws in this whole it was too perfect i don't know, we were... He still cares. Maybe I'm just, like, fishing for flaws in this whole... It was too perfect. I don't know. We were saying that maybe...
Starting point is 01:06:47 Is that, like, the stand-up thing? Or whenever you see a stand-up, they are telling you a story that just happened to them that day. Yeah, I think it is. Because I was at a Bourbon Steak, which is another restaurant owned by, like, one of these, like, multi-restaurant owning guys. Michael Mina? Michael Mina, I think. owned by like one of these like multi-restaurant owning guys uh michael mina i think and i was like
Starting point is 01:07:06 is michael ever come in and also told he was just here last week and then when you ask oh what's their favorite thing to get they say oh he uh he mixes it up he likes a lot of different things she said the burger though the burger or the jambalaya pasta she's gonna do a twist on jambalaya here uh but we will look when we we do downtown disney ordeal revisited in six months uh we will uh we will ask again and see if that's the same story if you went for a long time if you went into any wendy's and asked does dave thomas ever come by they would always say he was here last week i bet you could still catch a couple of them they would just be in the train like train to say it so if you walk in you oh it's dave thomas here oh yes here ah shit i think anyone who works at a wendy's now knows who dave thomas is yes or he thinks that
Starting point is 01:07:55 wendy was ever a real person she was they were all born no but i well we know that yeah yeah but i would say you're saying that died with Dave. I was saying that anyone who's working at Wendy's and I was probably born after both of them were dead. Wendy is still alive. I think she's still alive. I like to ask at airport Wolfgang Puck Express locations, what is a Wolfgang like? Well, because of the one at CityWalk,
Starting point is 01:08:20 he was represented by a cartoon wolf, right? That was probably what most of the employees thought he was oh that yeah oh and if he has a cartoon character named wolfgang puck does he ever come in here no thank god i'd blow this house down are you kidding no heavens no who's asking a piano man yes the atmosphere in there was so fun oh my god i really was like here's what so much here's what i'm gonna say i'm embarrassed i've been hundreds of times i'm embarrassed that i've never been in there because there was a nice bar there was a piano man playing all the times we've been there not once have i stepped foot in there and
Starting point is 01:09:12 no because like we really fancy ourselves experts here but like to not know about on the main drag of downtown disney it's shameful honestly i also love this style of cooking gumbo and jambalaya like i sure love eating this way well then why didn't you go it was not a bad version of it no it wasn't the gumbo yaya was delicious the express though the jason or the gumbo yaya you gotta i mean it's gumbo yaya their presentation had no okra in it which i I realized later. It's not often prepared with okra. Okra is a standard gumbo? Sometimes. Then I learned that a big ingredient in a lot of gumbo
Starting point is 01:09:49 is called filet powder, which is ground up sassafras leaves. Wow. Interesting. That's a thickening agent. Oh, like flour. Yeah, like flour. Interesting. Because you have to start gumbo by making a roux. Have you ever made a gumbo? I've never made gumbo. I should, though. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, that would be fun to do. gumbo by making a roux have you ever made a gumbo uh i've never made gumbo i should though yeah i
Starting point is 01:10:05 think so yeah that would be fun to do are you a fan of the jimmy buffett song i will play for gumbo no i am yeah hell yeah hell yeah um speaking of songs wait didn't you who recorded the that happy birthday song yeah i did a little bit i was trying to get the gist of it. He sang Happy Birthday to a couple of guys in the front, this piano player. Was it Jeff and Josh? I think you're right. Yeah, yeah. The only things I wrote down is like,
Starting point is 01:10:38 we got two cool dudes here. Who's with him? I'm so happy for you guys yeah and then at some point they know how to bail some hay right yeah that probably means
Starting point is 01:10:57 you know sex he was referring to their girlfriends yeah probably filthy whatever he was referring to there was some reference to how he looks the 20 that would they look 22 oh i don't i was i didn't want to like hold the the song against them because i was like am i misunderstanding this do you guys remember i was not close enough to see what everyone he was far away to make sense so some of the jokes didn't land with us i think but he would he would often like he had breaks and he would go like all right i'm gonna do one more song and everyone's and multiple times people were like no oh yeah we were doing it no keep going no no stay you're
Starting point is 01:11:36 on the clock he did a jazzy billy joel piano man yeah war-y Piano Man. Does anyone have in their mind what that was like? I know, like, I know it was very, it was a knowledge piano. It was just a blue, it was just like a little, like a bluesy or whatever.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Like it rolled together a little more. It was less staccato. That's my feeling. Mm-hmm. If that makes sense. Sure. It was nice.
Starting point is 01:12:00 I don't always like that song. I did like it. I liked it. I liked that version. It was good. He was singing that Happy Birthday song, which made me really happy. He's talking about two cool dudes and how happy he is for them. I'm so happy for you guys.
Starting point is 01:12:12 And as that was happening, fireworks were going off. I think if you were up on that veranda on the second floor, you've got obviously a great fireworks view. But we were at a table just near a window. Fantastic fireworks view in the distance from Disneylandneyland just all of that uh coalescing mixed of course with excellent food excellent food oh my god also we should say that food came out so fast oh yeah everything came very quickly and it was very hot like it wasn't like yeah i was suspicious of how fast it came out because like i noticed from going to ohana and disney world when lindsey and i went like five or six years ago we had like the best time at ohana which is the all you can eat like family bring food to you
Starting point is 01:12:57 buffet and then we went back three years later and they were they were bringing stuff out so fast and it was like a little less good it's a buffet where they bring food to you. Yeah, skewers of meat and different noodles and stuff. And it was our favorite meal we ever had. And they won't stop until you're done? They won't stop until you're done. Until a button bursts on your phone. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:21 It's still good. It's in the Polynesian, so you can watch fireworks from there, too, which is fantastic how do they give you a card with a red side and a green side like a no uh it's just it's just skewer people walking around and going you want you want this people there's just a bunch of skewer people with like four different meats like my maid of skewers yeah they're anthropomorphic skewers yeah yeah they have giant eyes big spindly creatures they look like clippy from the microsoft office can you could you is there yeah it looks like you hey click me for meat uh yeah so but but we noticed like how fast they were rushing us out the second time and i got that vibe from here i was like oh they've like
Starting point is 01:14:05 got the efficiency down and i was like worried it wasn't gonna be that good but it was still like the food quality wise i didn't feel rushed though they feel like we were at kind of a later reservation and which is always when you with that vibe of like the restaurant's trickling out but it's not like we're putting the chairs up get out of here that's the best thing there's not you aren't feeling the quick turnover uh and hanging out with y'all and fire where this was like this was fantastic i thought and then we got another little show at the table when we ordered the famous bananas foster it's flambé table side uh delightful yeah which is maybe a seemingly according to ralph brennan at least is a like
Starting point is 01:14:46 you know maybe a tradition with the bananas okay they they like to do that so you're watching butter and brown sugar get mixed up and then uh and bananas thrown in the pan then it's finished off with rum i believe um and at some point during that process and she tells you get those cameras out and we all did uh and she also tells you the flames are going high and you get nervous and the heart's beating and sure enough oh my god those flames yeah that's like i mean i like any little table side thing and i like the you know we're just in epcot and, and I like the Benihana-esque restaurant that you go to. This is probably the coolest table side thing I've ever seen. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:29 Skylight flames. Certainly up there. It was really a spectacle. She also told us to film it in slow motion. Yes, and you have the newest. That iPhone looks very good. I just got a new phone. I filmed it in slow motion.
Starting point is 01:15:43 She was right. Yeah. Looks cool as hell. Do we all a an angle on it from our phones i did it head on at normal speed because i was trying to get i think this is when piano man was playing i was trying to get the audio but it was a little too conversational i feel like piano man was not playing during the flames something was playing something funny was playing while she was doing this there was some song that stuck out to me but we also asked her how many times a night do you do this and she didn't she didn't make it sound like that many but she said but once someone orders it someone else will like it's like the fajita trick it's like the chili's
Starting point is 01:16:20 fajita trick but times 10 it is so cool like yeah can you guys name a cooler table side thing i'm trying it was like the velvet underground of desserts uh not a lot of people order it but everyone who does makes makes one everyone who sees it makes their own table side dessert bites a table yeah and some bananas it was very good also very good we ordered the like order it when you order your food chocolate souffle like 25 minutes to cook chocolate souffle delicious i thought that was great we also got the beignets we kind of got tricked into the dark chocolate dip and sauce because that was already coming that was coming with the souffle we didn't get through all of it nearly 75 and not by of all the things but but that sauce was crazy good yeah um all of
Starting point is 01:17:07 it she recommended uh take beignets put bananas foster inside of it make a little sandwich she was right on that was fantastic um does anyone want to shout out anything of about main meal oh yeah the um the buden balls the like pork rice balls with pepper jelly were amazing. Like, that was delicious. Maybe probably one of the best things I've eaten in this ordeal so far. For me, the whole thing tipped when, you know, I mean, I found it charming from second one, except when the hostess didn't understand McClunky. But besides that, once we sat down and we, oh, like
Starting point is 01:17:46 umbrellas on the ceiling, that's fun. Like, art direction's cool. Oh, we're in the room with the piano guy, that's cool. But I'm worried this food is going to be sort of silly or not that great. And then when that garlic bread came out, that tipped the whole thing.
Starting point is 01:18:01 That let me know, oh, we're in for some quality. I don't, I mean mean i could list the ingredients but they were just basic ingredients but it was just like the craziest richest like and not in a insane manner just like god this is very well done i think i said another but i think well no i'm gonna say it on a future episode there's a ceiling on good disney restaurants a lot of them a couple of them i think blow by it and i was expecting that like ceiling where you're like this is like good but is it worth 35 because most of it is like you're paying for like a slightly better restaurant like you're paying for the ambiance yeah but i was like oh this is actually pretty yeah this is like a bet
Starting point is 01:18:41 much better than the average like expensive like it that was like a full letter grade above Blue Bayou. And I like Blue Bayou fine. I don't think it's a good, like on a real scale, a good, nice restaurant. I think Blue Bayou should be this good. I don't like. Blue Bayou has to water it down for a more broad audience. But Brennan's is more fine dining and it's it's going more for that segment yeah i know you're saying but what what dad isn't gonna like that garlic bread yeah a bunch of
Starting point is 01:19:10 right about that yeah for sure i had barbecue shrimp and grits and it's just mashed potatoes and shrimp that's awesome like it's great like i can't i can find shrimp to be very disappointing and bland i loved the shrimp. The shrimp was great. A top white fish, which was crusted in sausage. It was so many things happening at once. And green beans with like pecan bacon crumbles. This has just turned into a genuine discussion of food we like. The gumbo was legitimately spicy.
Starting point is 01:19:41 I was like, this has some spice to it. Like nothing on this property is spicy like right oh wait happened what happened to boogity i gotta put boogity back oh we have to re-cue it oh re-cue boogity okay uh jalapeno cornbread that was good yes all right all right 2104 boogity on one two three boogity boogity boo boo being the time when i started one two three boogity boogity boo all right we're off john aston's talking he's got great john aston oh yeah great still alive john aston is he yeah teaching acting and like at a college in minnesota or something there's no way he's still i swear to god yeah he was on g was on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast like a month or two ago. That's incredible.
Starting point is 01:20:25 Yes. It's also what we learned. The writer of Mr. Boogity and Bride of Boogity, same writer, and he is now a screenwriting professor at UCLA, I believe. So, the Boogity crew is giving back to the world. They are educators and they are training the next generation. Who could be the people making Boogity 3? Well, I was going to suggest get the old crew back together. Oh, of course.
Starting point is 01:20:52 But we need some new generation. You need like the Ray of Boogity. Like the Star Wars character Ray of Boogity. Who can take the franchise in the next few movies. It's true. The boy flying on the floating chimney equipment. All of it. The vacuum that came alive.
Starting point is 01:21:09 All of it. This is the shop vac that killed Boogity. And we can only hope it brings him back because we need him now. It's like how eventually the villain in every Fast and the Furious joins the crew. Every time they defeat someone, the next movie, it's like, well, we need him.
Starting point is 01:21:33 Boogity created a problem only Boogity can solve. What else do we like? Everything was good. The only, oh, the D only oh the dipping tots were good they did not serve dipping dots not named after ice cream of futures path uh the futures the crawfish mashed potatoes was they didn't stay super hot for very long and they were a little thick a little dry. But other than that, I mean,
Starting point is 01:22:05 that is like the smallest, like little criticism. Everything else was amazing. Well, I have, I have a criticism too. And I, as I said,
Starting point is 01:22:15 I'm searching, I think just like, obviously this was so great, but suspiciously great. And there was one bump in the road, which is that we were all supposed to do it a week prior. And then we went to get reservations and there were no reservations available and i was like oh why because it's
Starting point is 01:22:30 just the most popular restaurant you've ever but there were reservations every other day and what happened was the whole thing was booked up by uh an event uh it was like an alumni event a big event being hosted by by harvey mud college uh which is a liberal arts college in Claremont. And one of the things, when I looked up Harvey Mudd College, they have a curriculum that is, a core curriculum that is described as soul crushing. On their website?
Starting point is 01:22:59 Incredibly difficult. Yes. Want your soul crushed? Come to Harvey Mudd. So it's a very difficult liberal arts college, and they booked it up for the night. And I don't know. I feel like jazz is a people's music, and this restaurant should be a restaurant of the people, and I don't like some snooty liberal arts college pushing us out.
Starting point is 01:23:24 Yeah, I hear that i did try to sign us up for the alumni dinner and filled out the form put um i got as far as me and scott's name and then i was and i was like what am i doing and then uh got an email from the woman coordinating it uh saying like hey you kind of banned your form halfway through and we don't have you on any of the alumni rosters. She pointed out you didn't finish the form? Yeah, I guess she got... So she could see it in real time? Yeah, I guess she's just sitting there looking at it as the letters come in.
Starting point is 01:23:58 And I did not write back. So if she's listening, I'm sorry. It was all a trick. You were part of our scheme time the ultimate prank down in the mud messing around um i did want to i i uh i was looking through yelp and trip advisor reviews to try to find something i did want to read my favorite uh review of this restaurant on trip advisor uh the title uh it's from joanne b from gardnerville nevada the title of the review is
Starting point is 01:24:33 quote a very different experience exclamation point we had never been to a louisiana restaurant before and really enjoyed the different dishes and the accompaniment of jazz music as we dined! And that's it. One star. What? Maybe she didn't finish filling out the form either.
Starting point is 01:24:58 She thought that was like the worst golf rule? The worst experience of her life. Yeah, she must not have understood it. She thought that was like the worst. Did she think one is the best? Golf rules? Number one. Number one. One star. Yeah, she must not have understood it. Yeah, I don't think she got the system. Take a Yelp class, lady.
Starting point is 01:25:13 Go to Harvey Mudd. Learn how to Yelp. Harvey Mudd? Who is Harvey Mudd? Alex, he seems like a... The Batman villain's real name. Clayface. Mudface.
Starting point is 01:25:24 Mudface. All right. Mud is a... there's a Star Trek character. Oh, right. Is it something mud? It's some. Is Harvey Mudd going to be the boss? Oh, my God. Are we getting to the end of it where we have to be boss concerned now?

Is this a boss level that it is yeah we're in a boss harry mud boy what harry mud is the character uh harry mud is the character on star trek it had a boogity pause again what the hell maybe harvey mullet is creating uh oh god everyone pause your boogities okay we're now at the point where the dad oh it's paused again what sorry 26 39 one two boogity boogity boo okay oh shit it doesn't mind this there are some interferences there are some disturbances and it makes me worried that we are in the presence of the boss already uh and unless there are any more interesting facts about the jazz kitchen restaurant we went to

Do you want to plug anything? No, I'm good. It's a gift shop. I'm good. It's a gift shop. You don't have to plug.
