FOREVER! DOG! Warning! The following podcast may be hosted by sound-alikes instead of the real Mike, Scott, and Jason. It may also contain Buzz Lightyear's right-wing leanings and a harrowing cookie-naming controversy. It's Disney World's Slinky Dog Dash on Podcast The Ride. welcome to podcast the ride the show hosted by three men who, in order to record, rig up a slinky and a Dash and Dodge mega podcast kit every week to record. I'm Jason Sheridan, joined by Mike Carlson. Yes, I'm here, and we do exactly what you just said. It's got every week.

I was like, that was a kit of a sentence. Some assembly required. Well, I didn't write anything down. I just looked at the detail of the kit name and kind of did it on the fly. Wow, wow. Good work. It went much better than I expected. Yeah, yeah.

No kidding. Yeah. Wow, wow. Complex. Much like this ride. Much like I think people were thinking about that were a little skeptical of this ride. We're talking about Slinky Dog Dash today. But I have a couple pieces of

business to get to oh okay uh one of which is a very quick podcast the ride oopsie uh on the hagrid's episode i said the hagrid and scroot animatronic were done by garner holt in fact we were told because they told us it was done by animax Robotics. Animax Robotics out of Nashville, Tennessee. Beautiful Nashville, Tennessee. Okay. Oh, sure. So I love it that someone from that company listens. Yeah, no kidding.

So the ultimate insult was given out to them when they were not given proper credit, which is fascinating. We mainly don't credit who makes a lot of things. Fair, yes, absolutely. But I do, it's like usually we get told by a smarter than us listener, and I'm just a person who knows more than we do, like, oh, you guys screwed this up, or this is what it is. Specifically, Animax Designs, animaxdesigns.com to view more of their work.

And you can follow them on Instagram. They've got really cool pictures and stuff on Instagram. But I love the idea that someone who was listening and they're like, hey, I worked on that Hagrid face for three years and Garner Holt's getting the credit. This is egg on our face. It's all of us. We need to know who makes robots or not mention it.

Or not mention it. Maybe not mention it is the better way. So keeping that in mind, the second piece of business, a little bit of news to talk about on this episode. This is coming from BlueLoop.com, which is kind of a little off the beaten path. It's the trade magazine for themed entertainment and also, for some reason, museums.

But this is a universal has filed a new patent and this is a lot of places you know you can kind of read the tea leaves of where theme park developments are going based off patents that are filed we talked about uh universal was filed like a moving room like a moving room sort of thing a while back. This is an augmented reality, augmented ride system and method to develop a ride and game control system with heads up mounted displays, hoods. So here you can see it's kind of like a glasses looking,

sort of a more intense 3D glasses-looking thing. The idea being it would display stuff on the screen that would interact with physical sets you would watch along a ride system. Oh, well, this is clearly... This is for Mario? This is the Mario stuff. There's a patent for these glasses, huh?

There's a patent for this whole system, and it would give you an individual experience So I... There's a patent for these glasses, huh? There's a patent for this whole system. And it would be like, give you an individual experience, you would be seeing something. Other people might also be seeing something, but not necessarily. The other thing about it is,

you see this one diagram with everyone looking at one object? Like that could affect, if everyone's attention is on it everyone doing it could affect something so to me that read like well if you're all shooting lasers and there's a big boss and you all need to aim your lasers in the one place sort of like how we did the uh avengers damage control okay and you all have to fire on the big boss at the end sure sure so oh so if you're all throwing turtle shells at something yeah i mean souped up like 3d glasses is an interesting way to get sort of a vr ar experience in that like to scale because that's the problem with vr

it's hard to put helmets and backpacks on a ton of people slimmer glasses so yeah yeah the real quick the word from nintendo land at least there was a uh some news that came out a couple weeks ago where it's like there's gonna be a little wristband i think we've talked about this a little bit it's gonna be like your magic band but at nintendo and you can keep track of point or coins i guess not points uh and it'll keep track of other data so yeah i wonder wonder if you're wearing glasses in the land or it's just on Mario Kart. But if it's in the land, then you can have...

I know there are practical question mark blocks in the land, but can you see fire flowers popping out of them with your glasses? Oh, do these work everywhere? Oh, interesting. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it would be cool if they worked everywhere. That seems kind of hard to like,

everyone has thrown their own glasses, but like hypothetically, at least you could augment the ride like that. I mean, this, you know, the very basic like sketches and stuff with the patent show people in a ride vehicle. And for some reason, the picture of a Ferris wheel, I don't know if that's just to communicate the idea

of ride but like they show physical stuff and then they show floating stuff that i would assume be the thing displayed dynamically adjusting ride perspective is the phrase that's used wow i cannot picture how this will work day to day but i i'm sure they'll pull it off i uh it's well really cool yeah i mean yeah i was gonna say the application in mario kart that makes the most sense would be throwing stuff at the other car at the other cart yeah so you would see the cart because you said that you're not driving the mario kart i don't believe so that's that's what i've rumors i've read at least that like it's you're not actually i think it's only going to be like two big carts and then robot carts of other Mario characters.

Oh, yes. So I think it's like two human full of like two human vehicles. And maybe there's eight seats in each of them are probably not 12, but at least eight, I think. And then as you're going along, War full-size wario all of a sudden comes up on your right boy i again my issue with big things in small rooms wario and waluigi i think will scare the shit out really well how big is wario is big yeah but he's just like a larger man you're even scared of like larger men i guess so men he's not like a giant like your dog edwin yes a larger man walks in the room i bark yeah i uh that's i guess i don't know if it's like i guess the size if it's the size of a hagrid

built by animax animax if it were the size of a animax ha by Animax. Animax. If it were the size of an Animax Hagrid, then that's just a regular bigger man. But if it were, I think the cartoon proportions. And I imagine that Waluigi is like nine feet tall. I think he's an avatar. Yeah, Waluigi is a Na'vi size. Yeah. I feel like in my mind,

we'll all give our opinions of what we think height wise the differences between mario and wario i feel like wario is maybe two and a half mario's tall i think so so well that's i mean we can scale that within scenes yeah but how how tall do they determine mario is compared us? That's a good question. I don't know. Mario, obviously, because from the movie Mario, he's Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo. So like 5'2 or something. So like 5'2. Yeah.

Mario is Jason's size. 5'1 and a half. And Luigi probably is like, I feel like 5'10. And then... Do you think Wario is that much bigger than Mario? I think he's just wider. Okay, now you're right. than mario i think he's okay well now okay now you're right in cartoon land he's two and a half mario's tall if we're doing if you were to put first of all who would have played wario in an early 90s mario movie oh if if he'd been around

in that era who do we think devito danny devito but you'd have to do a thing to make him bigger oh john goodman john goodman wouldn't have been bad. Yeah. So Wario in, if he's a human, Wario is probably 6'1 or 6'2. And Waluigi's like 6'6. So Wario is supposed to be that much bigger than Mario? I thought he was just huskier. He's taller.

I think he's taller. Yeah. Somebody's going to be really mad because they know the exact heights of all these characters. But Waluigi is like Slenderman proportions. He's got. Yeah. Somebody's going to be really mad because they know the exact heights of all these characters. But Waluigi is like Slenderman proportions. Yeah. Like he's got the creepy. I should play Waluigi in something. Okay.

I feel like. Sure. If I lose a little weight. Mario, Mario height. That's good. Yeah. So I mean, you'll be. We have a chart.

Were they ever arrested at the same time? I don't know. I'm sure there's gonna be a giant bullet which is uh scott's fear is having oh so many of these the big plants is when you know there's a giant uh bullet bill now regular bullet because i'm looking i actually now have a height chart of all of them and standard issue bullet bill is okay right but one the size of the full room yeah really scared me so if we're if it's like bowser's castle i'm trying to think where he would be which section of the mario kart ride maybe the bowser's castle area and then yeah so if there's a giant

bullet bill that's going to be too much for you but But yeah. Do we get the bullets in America where we're all insane about guns? Does that just... Well, but he's so... He's so big and he's so divorced from... He looks like a big shark fin. Yeah. He's so big.

Yeah, I don't think... Well, who knows? Who knows what they can... Maybe that's augmented. Honestly, that's a perfect use of augmented reality because then you can have them coming straight at you and you don't have to deal and this is scott's nightmare no no no you have a giant bullet bill and he can be as big as the room i must constantly doing like a heart like ah like taking off the glasses i hadn't thought of you guys cover my eyes i said before

i said before that was like the only thing i could think of is throwing shells. But no, you could do that. You could have the giant piranha plants. You could do all of that and really make it feel like Back to the Future 2 when the shark, when Jaws goes and tries to eat Marty. I don't want any boos. Don't give me a boo. I don't want to be in a castle and I don't want a big boo. A small boo is fine. A big boo is not okay.

But if I'm looking at him, he shouldn't be. If I'm'm looking at him he shouldn't be going anywhere near his eyes should be closed he's the one who closes his eyes not me this is i am taking a little delight in this in this bit we're doing which is rooted in reality but i am also legit excited by the idea that you could do that in augmented reality yeah i didn't i've never thought about it, but you could do... Most of the things, but not the giants. I'm with you 80% of the way. The bigger they go, the more Scott is out. You could take the glasses off, though. I could, yes.

So there's that. Well, look at that patent carefully, though. There isn't a way that they staple it to your eyes temporarily. Is it drilled into your... I don't know. Figure 9, the note here just says... staple it to your eyes temporarily. Is it drilled into your side of your head? Figure 9's note here just says just for Scott?

Okay. Did you guys file this patent? There's a drawing. Yeah, I'm looking at it too. There's a drawing of Scott in the patent. No. I've got a screen grab from that very fun Charlie XCX music video commercial hi scott what she says hi scott big time's coming

we haven't really talked about that giant charlie xcx augmented reality i'm not into i'm not a vore okay? I don't want my giant women. No, no. Stay away from me. I don't know. We hadn't really talked about that either, the CharlieXCX promotional video for Super Nintendo World. It was a lot of fun. It was a lot.

It was a lot. It's a barrage of things. There's tons of people wearing Mario hats, which I'm assuming will be sold and will be an immediate smash hit. Yeah, I hadn't thought about that, the preponderance of the hats. You know, actually interesting in this, speaking of hats, in this height chart that I'm looking at, you have to take

hats into account. Because with hat, Wario is approaching Yoshi levels of tall. Oh, that's not that that much taller yeah it actually is not we're maybe we're maybe talking like less than a foot you're very far away maybe you can see that i think also his hat is taller than mario's head so he might only be like six inches taller than mario potentially all right waluigi however very tall probably the tallest of all

the characters oh i, I think so. Peach and Daisy are... Well, Bowser is taller. Yeah, Peach and Daisy are probably taller than Wario, then. Yes, that is correct. Yeah. And do you know who's taller between the two of them? I want to say Daisy, but I could be wrong.

It is barely Peach. Interesting. Also, Crown, but I'm reducing Crown in my head. Okay. And then Bowser's bigger than all of them. Bowser's much bigger than all of them. He's very big. And he's a lot bigger than Donkey Kong though in cart, when you're selecting he, Donkey Kong and Bowser

are essentially the same in original Mario Kart. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They are very tiny. Smash Brothers too, I feel like they're comparable. Is that right? Now they're a little bit more to scale, but I feel like maybe initially they weren't. And the caterpillar who you bop and he turns red and runs back and forth, also a little tall, but you have to take the flower into account. The famous flower atop his head. You are going to get eaten by that flower on this ride.

No. I am sure of it. Because you know why I'm sure of it? Because it happens in the Mario Kart VR I did in Japan. You get eaten by the... Well, like it's coming at you... Not by the caterpillar's flower, but the giant... Oh, I thought you were pointing at the...

No, no, no. Apparently the little yellow caterpillar has a little like... I see, I see. I know what you're talking about from the Mario world. The big chomping plant, though. Yeah, the big chomping... What's it called? Chomping plant, though. Yeah, the big chomping, what's it called? Chomping plant, whatever.

Not the piranha in the pipe, but the other one in polka dot shorts. He looks like he's wearing male briefs based on Minnie's dress. Huh. Just to confirm an earlier speculation, the heads-up mounted display has to connect to the ride vehicle

and the ride and game system are integrated with the ride vehicle oh so it communicates with your vehicle yeah it kind of like the the ride system and the vehicle and the heads-up display are all communicating with each other so i don't think out and about wandering in the land is possible yet because you'd have to get it all right in glasses. But for like, I mean, the Google Glass was kind of a, you know, for big, big old dorkuses. But like for a three minute ride, you already wear ridiculous looking 3D glasses. This is a, yeah, this is really just hardcore speculation but i guess then you also if it's all integrated into the ride and you could be throwing shells at the unmanned like wario and sending it like like twirling off course or something yeah potentially i don't know how cool that'll like i'm sure maybe at the very least it

would spin around or something but like all of that sounds very exciting and then like maybe fulfilling like the promise of galaxy's very exciting and then like maybe fulfilling like the promise of galaxy's edge where it's like you could collect coins on the ride and then you have that correspond to your whatever wristband the ability to leap up and hit the box oh my god that's very uh that's like cooler than any ride yeah going through the the warp tunnel because that's like how you're going to get in oh yeah go through a warp tunnel into the mario land i didn't know that yeah it's like the sideways one obviously not the up and down because that would be crazy this episode isn't about mario

speculation but do you guys is there a mario kart memory from any of the many mario kart games something you would really want in it or really not want in it something you uh i don't want this course anywhere near the ride mario kart uh very important to me and i'm not saying that facetiously we i mean i just was playing uh from the switch you have the virtual console and you can play old games nintendo and super nintendo right now at least not 64 i think is coming uh and i was playing mario kart with my sister the original super nintendo and it's so burned into my brain because we used to do this 30 years ago in my grandmother's house so it's like that all of that is like and then we'd always i would get first shoe again second always and i would always be uh ko Troopa, and she would be Toad.

So I'm trying to think of something like a classic thing from that. I would love... I'd be... Oh, sorry. I'd be disappointed if the ride was mainly one of the chocolate levels. Oh, the worst level. Yeah. The ride is just moving slowly through chocolate moss or whatever choco what

is it called vibrating slowly off course in a chocolate world very unpleasant terrible uh koopa beach i love in super nintendo now that's the opposite that's as smooth as rise of the resistance it has i'm sure this ride ends in Rainbow Road. It has. It's gotta. But as a kid, Rainbow Road, I couldn't have been more obsessed with. Yeah. All the Rainbow Roads, I think, have been very strong, universally through every. They've never soiled the Rainbow Road property. No. Yeah.

And then 64 Rainbow Road, I have a lot of affection for. And there's Secret Jump, where you jump off of one area and you land on it's very hard to do oh yes yeah yeah um i think a lot of my first semester of college was spent trying to pull that off yeah oh it's very hard uh i don't know we could do mario whole mario kart podcast here plenty to talk double i love double dash where you switch around i was a big double dash fan yeah yeah there's a battle in that where you steal a sun uh oh that's good hold on to the sun for a certain amount of time there was a road that we should get to toy story in a second there was a rumor that mario kart was going to use a system uh sort of a roller coaster system like on the bones of it where you could do sort of simulated

jumps essentially like you could make it look like it was going off a cliff and because of the like kind of narrowness of the track you wouldn't necessarily be able to see where you were going so it would feel kind of like you shot off a cliff and you landed again so i feel like a double dash or and then the newer one has a two where you have like uh a little hang glider on the back of your car oh yeah so like you could also in addition to racing you're like flying through the air so if that would be uh something i would want that's a lot to ask i think i i we had a very interesting console progression from like we had nintendo and then genesis and then a 64 i'm trying to remember if I ever owned a Mario Kart

or just played it at friends' houses. I think of it as a very social game, but I feel like I didn't have it at home that much. I feel like we would borrow it sometimes and we'll play the 64 one. I think jumping and invincibility I would be interested in. I hate the banana peels when playing the game because I would always get

hit by one, but in a ride, that sounds fun. Oh, sure. Spinning around. You spin out, yes. You know what would not be fun is if either that or the guy having to pick you up with the fishing pole, if you were, your literal money had to be handed over, like a toll.

Oh, you mean like he stole cash out of your pockets? If you went off course and you had to hand just whatever change you got. If your personal monetary positions were asked for by the man riding what I've always called the big tooth. I know it's probably a cloud. It's a cloud, yeah. That's interesting. I've never thought of it as a tooth.

It's kind of toothy. Huh. The man in the tooth stole my money. Well, what if it's AR and you see him through the AR goggles and he just digitally steals? So if he gets to you and you don't throw a shell at him, he comes to you and then there's like an Apple Pay system where he just automatically deducts $20

from everyone's phone. And you have to just like okay that before the ride. Yeah, wait, check that patent again. Is it hooked up to our Apple Pay? Oh, it is. Yeah, I see it here. Oh, no. It's hooked up to Apple Pay

and the Lakitu, I believe is the character's name? It's been looking. Wait, the glasses I wear on the Mario Kart ride have been listening to all my amazon purchases and google search history yeah and it knows you're like like google email it knows when you wake up and it knows your shopping patterns which is by what i've been told is what gmail does oh rad is that google is just collecting data on you and they know so much about you just from all of it. They just know what you buy. They know when you buy it.

They know when you wake up. Yeah, it's really dystopian. This is awful. Let's move over to Disney World and their wonderful magic bands, which control entry to your hotel rooms, and you can keep lots of money on. And it tells you what they buy, what people buy, and when they wake up, and when they're moving.

And you can use it to open your door, your locked door. Your phone can open your locked door. Yes, and if a button is pushed, it can shock you and incapacitate you. They can just take people out. If you're wearing a magic band, and you're reaching for pirate treasure on Pirates of the Caribbean,

then you just fall into the water. And they can say, I don't know what happened. Just a sudden seizure. Fell into the water. We don't have that at Disneyland yet because we were riding Casey Jr. the other day. And the poor conductor had to keep looking back and telling the kid, please keep your arms in the cage. Pink car.

I was glad you said that car because I thought it was me. I always think it's me. If I hear a honk on the road, it must be something I'm doing. Well, to Disney World we go, I suppose. For Slinky Dog Dash, another thing in the series of topics we can talk about now that we've all been on it. We've all sort of recently been to Orlando. Fun stuff. It's a fun one um i mean probably our ticket to talk about toy story land in general um and you know we've talked a ton about

galaxy's edge but in florida this is really the last piece of the puzzle of revamping all of disney's hollywood studios um they're sort of right next to each other in fact and uh i don't know good job i uh it's all fun r.i.p the costume department yeah r.i.p where wayne zalinski's van was parked or uh where that plane walt spotted the florida property in was parked or a lot of parked vehicles had to go to make this roller coaster. The flight of the navigator thing was gone, which is cool. That is too bad. That's got to be somewhere else, though. They didn't just

burn it in a fire. I hope. Yeah. Now that it's on Disney+, it's getting a whole new lease on life. Actually, in looking at the actual footprint, I realized that part of the territory of this roller coaster is where the Earful Tower used to be. Oh, right.

This is the spot. Yeah. The former icon of the park, the water tower with the big mouse ears. Did they put it somewhere else? No, it's just gone. It's just gone? And the Tower of Terror just means this park? In the app, you see little little Tower of Terror caricatures.

Oh, that's like how they represent the... I see. That's cute. They also got rid of the like Pixar Studios, was it called? Okay. Well, so I have something. Okay. Uh-huh.

What you're referring to is Pixar Place. That's right. Sorry. Pixar Place now exists still next to Toy Story Land and I walked through it when we were down there and it is a dead end alley like it is a dead end

alley where you can meet the Incredibles and then there is a stand called Neighborhood Bakery I need to talk about Neighborhood Bakery. Oh, boy. Now, this is adjacent.

This is not into a story land. Neighborhood Bakery falls in the purview of Pixar Place. We have no sector keeper. Nobody's coming down on us. Just clarifying. Burned a bunch of Mario time. Neighborhood Bakery is the Florida home of the deep dish cookie

that we know as jack jack's cookie oh my gosh really however i looked at the menu on the app and there they just call it num num cookie and that sucks that made me so mad that's like when you go to a different region they're like oh here we call soda pop bubble juice and it's like no that's like when you go to a different region they're like oh here we call soda pop bubble juice and it's like no that's not what you come on i'll accept pop i'll take pop but like num num cookie was such a bummer to discover and also a bummer to discover like yeah pixar place which was originally felt like it was retrofitted to justify like a meet and greet and toy story midway mania but they've like reconfigured the entrance to toy story midway mania into toy story land yeah it's like the

other side of the building that's confusing yeah i didn't know any of that had happened as opposed to because pixar place kind of looked like the miniature version of the pixar studios in emeryville where apparently a heimlich car is sitting oh right right heimlich's choo-choo train so that's very nice but so that so this area yeah i didn't know it was still there now it's just there and enough so there's still like dead zones in this park because they took away so i didn't know it was like still kind of there because they i know they took away like fun props from it yeah like the c and spell used to be hanging in there in that like stretch and now it's on the ride now it's on mr mike dog am i thinking mr mike the white one that's on there too but i think there's a c and spell i think there's a c and spell somewhere

yeah i had to check but they took some fun props out of like Pixar Place and put it in Toy Story Land. And now this is my kind of like big thing about current Hollywood studios going through it. Like especially once Runaway Railway opens, this park will once again be packed with attractions. Yeah. People like Runaway Railway,

Galaxy's Edge, including Rise of the Resistance, Slinky Dog, Tower of Terror, and Rockin' Roller Coaster. Yeah. But when it was all kind of um galaxy's edge including rise of the resistance slinky dog tower of terror and rock and roller coaster yeah but when it was all kind of fake film sets it kind of made sense for one disparate thing to be next to each other here it's i cannot like the chaotic nature of this park is a lit what threw me a little for like toy story land just kind of becomes Galaxy's Edge. Grand Avenue where like the brewery is just kind of becomes the other side of Galaxy's Edge. And then there's Muppets and then there's Mama Melrose and the stunt show.

More Star Wars. More Star Wars. And then Indiana Jones. It could use a little bit of placemaking because I still like Echo Lake. I still like Gertie and the boat and stuff. And the entrance. The entrance is nice like but yeah i think they but when why is it a chinese theater now i mean i'm not an advocate

for taking that down but it's not really justified but i think it will be like when runaway railway i think it's a reason short that is showing there that you enter the world you go into i think that works but it is a little chaotic and especially the fact that they kept pixar place and didn't just wrap toy story land around um uh aaron my wife completely agrees she finds it she finds this park like disjointed and and borderline unpleasant now even though like some of the greatest clearly that line of rides is unbelievable unbelievable and still probably the best rides in disney world now all of a sudden line unpleasant now even though like some of the greatest clearly that line of rides is unbelievable unbelievable and still probably the best rides in disney world now all of a sudden when they had

almost nothing now they're back up to like that could be all the best ones my family's like favorite park over the years and i think like then you know whenever we we get down there next like it will there will be all of these giant attractions open and it will once again be like a full day park and he's nice there's a couple good restaurants you can make a reservation for lunch at but like yeah little little it felt a little chaotic to me maybe partially because i was going off of the beautiful transitional elements from like critter country and frontier land into galaxy's edge, Mike's made this point that there has been talk of, oh, it's

actually a better transition to Galaxy's Edge in Florida, and that is not true. It's definitely not true. Especially, we ended up approaching when we went from the Toy Story side, and that just makes no sense. No sense. They don't, yeah. The whole part, how do they frame it? It's sort of like it's where

your favorite stories come to life. Yeah, kind of. But that's a weird jumpy, I don't. Yeah. The whole part. How do they frame it? It's sort of like it's where your favorite stories come to life. Yeah, kind of. But that's a weird, jumpy. I don't know. That one doesn't make sense, but just more so it's just like, just make the transitions somewhat better. But Disneyland, Disneyland's flow and transitions. They are so careful with it, especially when it comes to Galaxy's Edge. Galaxy's Edge was designed for Disneyland, specifically for Disneyland, to fit in with Big Thunder and the rocks when you're looking and to fit in with the green and along the lake. It's perfect for Disneyland, and then they just dumped it into Hollywood Studios. box when you're looking and to fit in with the green and along the lake and the it's like perfect

for disneyland and then they just dumped it into hollywood studios with some modifications although the footprint i've noticed like it's weird they didn't really expand the boundaries of disney's hollywood studios like it's still this corner if you look at it from above it actually seems geographically like it was built for hollywood studios you know you're probably right i probably am overstating that because thematically more so thematically designed and they probably i'm trying to think i i'd have to look at the overhead map because they cleared out you know part of big thunder ranch then a bunch of buildings back there so i guess maybe they took both things into consideration and i guess yeah maybe maybe

thematically and flow wise it was designed for disneyland and then also they made sure it was exact right amount of space for hollywood studio well one less entrance in hollywood studio yes that's a big physical difference right but um as far as just yeah space is what yeah scott's probably right that that's how they figured that out how like how they could make it work for both how they negotiated i guess they probably were like well we can we can keep demolishing stuff and make it as big as the space we have in hollywood studios but we have to make sure we're like we're very careful with disneyland and not to break sight lines and not to make it stick out and make it really feel like

it's a piece behind Disneyland as opposed to it's intruding on real high wire all that stuff carve up Disneyland yeah yeah never had to be like even Toontown was kind of an addition they didn't have to wait it's like it's that's tucked away yeah yeah it didn't have to like and it's a dead end they didn't have to make it flow from the classic thing to classic thing in the same right but like good job yeah uh but hollywood studios the shit about the flow yeah not really no it's there it's fine it's that's a great dad doesn't go an average dad doesn't go in and go the flow here doesn't make sense i'm confused and again so many popular attractions yeah so as long as everyone likes the rides this is a real nerd critique to have now toy story land itself

i like i mean i think that everything's very technicolor it looks beautiful at night the lighting is yes yeah it feels like the like better version of youugs Life. I know Bugs Land. Bugs Land is a little more even little kid. But this feels like a bigger budget version of that where it's like kids are going to really enjoy this. And the vibe is fun. Well, so it's this kind of a cousin to, I mean, it's called Toy Story Land. And Toy Story Land exists in other parks. It's in Disney Studios Paris. It's in Toy Story Land, and Toy Story Land exists in other parks. Right.

It's in Disney Studios Paris. It's in Hong Kong Disneyland, Maine Disneyland, and then Shanghai Disneyland. So this is in Magic Kingdom-style parks, but all of those don't have Slinky Dog Dash. Right. They have pretty inessential rides, like RC Racer going up and down in a big curve. Or they have a Slinky Dog thing that's a very carnival style. It's like an endless loop that drifts up and down. You know what I'm talking about?

It's like a slinky dog zigzag spin is what it's called there and one either on kong or shanghai has this alien thing swirling saucers swirling saucers but there it's called woody's roundup and it's critters right but it's that same thing where there's a front car and then you pivot along the back and slide back and forth and then they're doing that with baymax in tokyo is that the same ride yeah it's made here it's made here yeah i like this genre of ride that made a ride as a sleeper it is really fun uh um but it's uh uh i bring all this up to say the previous toy story lands are kind of garbage they're sort of just thrown in a little hat like pretty and essential rides good job on the art and everything

and like it has some of the same things like the same woody leaning up on the side like uh you're in woody's backyard it's the same premise great job art direction wise but like the rides are nothing so it's nice to see it go into an american park with a good solid ride yes as the fun yeah and and good kind of fulfilling a need because another thing about Hollywood Studios, I'm sure people with kids would say is there is a lot of stuff that everyone can do as a family and then

there's the thrill rides for the adults and the teens, but there weren't a ton of kiddie, kiddie rides and you get that. I never have been in that park, yeah. Yeah, with the swirling saucers and toy story mania and if they're a little bigger the the slinky dog very popular still like all this opened in this expansion opened in 2018 obviously toy story mania has been open for a little while

longer i checked looking right now i checked this morning so slinky dog was down this morning which caused toy story mania to go up to a two-hour wait. Swirling Saucers was 45 earlier today and 25 now. Now Slinky Dog is kind of down to 90 minutes and Mania is at 45 minutes. But 90 minutes for a smaller coaster, that is a substantial wait. Yeah. I think you'd still then get on and do it and feel like it was worth the wait. Yeah. I think I did an hour. What did you guys end up at? and do it and feel like it was worth the wait yeah but it

did an hour what'd you guys end up at we didn't we was the last thing we did yeah this was the we told a little bit of this story when we were in florida it was lindsey and i and jason and we decided uh we each we were gonna be able to do two rides slinky was one of them because we're gonna get there right before close and then jason and Lindsay did Tower of Terror, and I chose Aerosmith. Oh. I had to rock one last time before we left Orlando. Yeah, yeah. And then I remember you guys got done very fast.

Oh, we got on that so quick. And Aerosmith was taking forever. And I was looking at my phone like, am I not going to get to do the ride? This is going to suck. You told us to just go. Well, yeah, I told you to go. Don't worry about it. Don't don't wait for me leave me behind and then i was racing through hollywood studios and i got in line i caught up to you you caught

up well we might have been winded from walking through just a wall of smoke from that star wars firework show just the fireworks were set off so close just like a wall of carcinogens in the air. Yes. So I think that we got, maybe we didn't do more than 30 minutes. No, it was pretty quick. The only thing that happened for me was that I, by the time we were off the ride and exiting the park, it was 1030. Just half hour after the park closed and exactly when the skyliner closed at a hard 10 30 and i walked up to it at like 10 33

and they were turned they turned away a guy with like a double wide stroller and so of course they're gonna turn me away so uh yeah hopefully that skyliners run a little later because those buses run for two hours um so yeah we didn't wait very long and the line is very fun and pleasant and outside um and it's a nice yeah i don't know big jesse big t rex big rex yeah rex yells like i'm i'm so high up wallace he's very excited yeah wallace wall I'm so high up. He's very excited. Yeah, Wallace Shawn. Rex is Wallace Shawn. Very high up yelling.

So you get Wallace Shawn. It sounded like Wallace Shawn. I think some of these people have sound alikes for various things, but it's always them for the official shorts that air on ABC and obviously the movies. There's an A team and a B team with some of these people. And Tom Hanks' brother does Woody. Yep.

I think probably does Woody in this land. I think so. I think still not Tom Hanks. Although they had Tom Hanks and Tim Allen do a lot of Toy Story press from the new land. Yes. Like for Toy Story 4. That lined up for them. I watched some videos of Tim Allen going on the rides going on on mania and then

trying to explain what it's like to be in the land but very incoherently just like on the level of you reach it you can then you you can give it a touch you reach and it's there and it's wow we it feels like how we were in the movie of when, when buzz went into it, it feels like when buzz was on it and that's how you touch it. It was just a real odd rant. And it's mixed. It's funny. How does it make you think about the odd, uh,

standing of Tim Allen, uh, today, how it was in the beginning of this franchise. He's America's favorite. And now, now is this ride opens. It's like, he's the uncle

you have to invite yeah i you know i was watching a jimmy kimmel interview with tim allen a couple days ago unrelated to this episode and i was like he's doing some of his stand-up and he's like you're like yeah this was like america's sweetheart 20 years ago and i have an i have some affection for him i don't want to put the guy down. It's very funny ABC canceled his TV show, but then he's still got to be around the family because he's Buzz Lightyear. And it's back on Fox now, right?

It's back on Fox. But Disney doesn't own Fox, the broadcast channel. No, Disney doesn't own Fox, the broadcast channel, but they bought the company 20th Century Fox, which now is not going to be called 20th Century Fox. Which is now called 20th Century Television and Films. 20th Century Studios.

Everything is very confusing. Dr. Augustine? Dr. Augustine. Dr. Ogden, I believe. But Tim Allen, I was going to say Tim Allen's got that thing where his biggest gripe is that he can't say something inappropriate once in a while. Needing to say these words is so important.

What do you need to say? What do you think? What are you upset about? The buzz in this land does say some weird stuff, some weird comments. Yeah. I just don't think everything Trump says is so bad. I just think once in a while it makes sense. Just give him a chance.

It's only year three. Respect the office is all I'm saying. It's the office. The biggest enemy in the galaxy is the PC police. Emperor Zurg. Emperor Zurg. PC police. Emperor Zurg pales in comparison to college liberals.

Emperor Zurg's headquarters. Yeah, college campuses. I do battle with social justice warriors. Enemy number one, Greta Thunberg. Just let me use whatever light bulbs I want. She's not as good as Andy, or what's the other girl's name? That would have been good.

I hope Andy isn't getting any ideas in college. Oh, boy. What do you ever wonder what Andy's getting up to? We can't even do a stand-up show for Andy at his college. I'm not chancing it. I'm not chancing it. Andy's going to be too upset with the language. I'm kind of relieved he gave us away.

I don't want to hear that he kissed a boy or something. Well, now, funny you bring that up because this is one of those theme park lands that exists kind of in a timeless, out of time, out of continuity. Because Andy, the idea of Slinky Dog is that Andy has set up a roller coaster kit in his backyard. A roller coaster kit and then somehow also retrofitted Slinky to be the vehicle. Which is outrageous. I had a really good see people might have had this or you guys might have had it there was a connects roller coaster set that was killer oh yeah great christmas present and there's some connects esque pieces in this line like the turn

styles feel very those spokes that fan out and so this so i'm as you described that I'm very it flashes me back to my childhood in a fun yeah so Andy is not off at college yet or he is and like Disney has just developed a quote eccentric hobbies while he was away he comes home every week he's on break yeah he's on every week I'm building my ideal world in the backyard. Not like me. I only came home from college every three weekends. You got to do laundry. I totally left the nest. Sure.

You're saying, sorry, I didn't know. Andy is, maybe Andy is still around in Toy Story Land here? For sure. Because it says Andy. Yeah, it has to be, right? It says, like, Andy built this in his backyard. I wasn't even thinking about that. So he has not given, the characters have not been given away yet.

Huh. Interesting. But was Forky present when we were there? He has been at some point. He's kind of been haunting around. Because that throws the entire thing. Forky would be there. Well, that's what we were talking about on Rise of the Resistance of like,

just put a baby Yoda in there somewhere. Yeah, ultimately nobody really. Honestly, I don't think I'm as shocked as I am. It's because of star wars being so rigid and where it is in the timeline so now i'm like well this doesn't make sense like now i'm upset this is what's the new what's the what's the new who does he give it to what's the girl's name andy his toys he gives what's her name i haven't seen three in so long and i haven't seen no i can't think of her name she goes with forky to the i've seen the movies the movies are great i can't think of her name oh this is i'm sorry he hands it to her he hands

i also like her i like the kid yeah she's fun and then he gives her the toys and you just start weeping uncontrollably because jesus christ still bonnie bonnie course. Still three more powerful to me than four. There was the talk that four was going to be more emotional somehow, and it's not. No way. I'm fine with it existing. There's the thought of does it need to, is it essential? I still enjoyed it very much.

However, if it had stopped at three. I assumed it was stopping at three. Well, clearly that was the cash can. I guess so. Stop rolling in, Jason. Yeah. Three is unbelievable. Yeah.

Three is a couple things that are just devastating. Four is fine. It's enjoyable. I also think four is designed to break it free from a pattern to continue it. Because like you're, especially with four, you're like, everyone's like, they have to start out in a kid's room. They have to like, there's a reason that they go somewhere.

They're confined to like a sort of a set of rules for these movies. So this is spoiler alert for four. Oh, I haven't seen it yet. Is that true? Yeah. Am I not allowed to spoil this? No, you can. Oh, I haven't seen it yet. Is that true? Yeah. Am I not allowed to spoil this? No, you can spoil it.

It's been 10 months or so. You should enjoy it. You should see the film. Do you want to put your hands and your fingers in here? Sure, I'll put my fingers in my ears. All right, all right. And you want to hum a song so you don't hear any of it. I just want that to be a big old...

Hum God Only Knows which plays in the trailer for Toy Story 4 while I tell and I explain what my philosophy is just wave when you're done are you ready to sing? I'm good how far that he gets

not if he's pitchy he's going to be pitchy no offense I would be pitchy it's a hard song to sing. Okay. All right. So my philosophy is go for it.

You don't want to sing, do you? All right. Sing any song you want. Camptown Races. I thought you were done. I can't hear. Oh, you can't? Oh, you really?

So we don't have to sing. Okay. Never mind. Okay. So I've been doing this bit and Jason has been thinking that he hasn't even heard what I've been saying about singing. I don't know the bit. Take it out of your... What? i was saying in order to make sure

you don't hear you should sing god only knows what god only knows from the trailer i heard you covered your ears really well holy shit that's i heard the phrase god only knows and i didn't know if you meant a song or the aphorism uh so all right god knows it's sad that woody dies um so okay he gets uh thrown into a wood show all right okay here do it fast i was just saying so like what he leaves the whole group uh and then he goes off on an adventure with uh a bow peep and i think that's the sign to be like now it's gonna we can he's in the world he can do a bunch of different stuff and we're not just tied down and i have to say i'm happy for him i I'm happy he's on his own. He found a good girl, and I think it's a very nice thing. That being said,

Buzz acts very strangely in 4, and I don't care for it. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. He deserts Woody when he goes back into the antique shop. We should unfreeze Jason. All right, unfreeze, unfreeze.

Okay, all right. Good, I was pushing too hard. I'm really impressed. Yeah, and I'm glad you didn't lose your oxygen. Well, I was also actively not like concentrate, concentrate on what you're seeing so you're not hearing. Not lip reading. Yeah.

Well, I'm impressed by those abilities. That's like playing dead when Andy comes in. Oh, it's on Disney Plus now. They should do something to like rile Tim Allen up. Like with Buzz Lightyear. Like Buzz should be gay or he should have to transition or something like just to rile tim you don't have to go that far he can you're right he

can hold a person one shot and like he probably was like now this whole uh yeah when he they make me uh drink tea uh yeah yeah can we snip that can you get a sound alike or when he becomes uh senor buzz and three he's like yeah yeah but these these guys oh no can we also include some dialogue about how the senior buzz types are uh hurting the country the ones who came here the correct way the senior buzzes that uh earn a living oh his lazy opinions his bad lazy opinions that he for sure has um when we were mike when you and I got on, I feel like your first thing that you clocked,

like in terms of like, oh, that's off, was the Jim Varney sound alike. Oh, well, and he's been doing that for... It's the brother? Is that right? I think Jim... No, it's a guy, he's the guy who plays Sean Hunter's dad on Boy Meets World. Kind of like a guy very character actor-y guy. I think his name is Blake.

I don't remember his last name. But a similar type. Just like a big bear of a guy. Oh yeah. Who I think knew Jim Varney and took over for him. I think had a lot of emotion about taking over for him. And that was after that happened in Toy Story 2.

Yeah. I think. No Varney happened in Toy Story 2. Yeah. I think. No, Varney's still around in 2. Is it 3 then when he takes over, I guess? Okay. I mean, I think I did think it sounded better in the movies. And then Sean Kennan is the actor impersonating Robert Goulet at the end. Okay.

Because Goulet did Wheezy. Wheezy. The singing voice. Okay, yeah. The croonery. The surprisingly good croonery voice blake clark is the man's name blake clark i think he does a good job i like that they made that decision to try to like instead of just like they killed slinky doug right um you've got a lot of this craziness with this cast now where like there's some the last one had pre-recorded rickles lines they like had to find generic uh because they didn't want to deal with the shoe leather of

we have to get Potato Head out. Yeah. I mean, there's so many characters. By four, there are so many characters. It feels like there are 40 characters in these movies. Yeah. And we don't get a lot of time.

That's a gripe I have with the classics, but they want to represent everyone. So they may have like eight Rickles alts. And then they should just, at this point, they'll just start diving into his act, I guess. He'll be insulting different races.

Oh, Tim Allen's back in. He's excited now. Yeah, but Rickles does it in a way that's, you know, he lives with love. He only... They're all big people here tonight and then yeah potato head makes a big speech at the end how like you know he makes fun of all people you know all different types 11 fun um maybe pair up hey pair up bosun potato head a little more next time would you um i yeah the i i think the guy i think i think this linky guy does an

admirable job and i you're reminding me of something that I'm amazed I was able to get on this ride. Because there are two major fear spots at play for me. One, it is a launch coaster. I'll be at a tame one. And two, it involves a Jim Varney-esque voice. And Jim Varney factors into my most frightening childhood memory, Ernest Goes to Splash Mountain. Of course. So we have two big triggers for me. Sure.

Sorry, Tim. I feel very triggered. But I managed to still go. In the classical sense. Yes. In the psychology sense. The actual sense. I think Tim's okay if you're like scared by a ghost or something. Yeah. If you're that kind of trigger. Yeah, he's fine with that. Two launches on this, right?

Yeah, yeah. Two launches. Top speed, though, only 40 miles an hour. So like by roller coaster standards, pretty... I think if you were a kid and this was your first roller coaster, you'd be like jacked. You would love it.

It's a great kid's coaster. Yeah, probably a perfect one to kick off. Less rickety than Big Thunder. So smooth. You just glide. It's really fun. Yeah, this is one where to kick off. Less rickety than Big Thunder. So smooth. You just glide. It's really fun. Yeah, this is one where I think if you were the age for it, whatever it is, you're 10 years old and you've never been on one before,

you would feel so brave, too, because it isn't so scary, but it still goes up pretty high and it's got a big footprint, even more so than big thunder which is a good first coaster as well but like you can see this would have scared me as a kid because i could see the track but i would i would have felt so brave yeah i'll be honest i felt so brave doing it too so that still is in my head yeah oh yeah how do you think i feel i'm still my yeah i still I still feel brave for launches. Yeah, it's really nice. And I like that you sort of, it's like a miniature story coaster.

It's like a mini Hagrid's or what it sounds like Guardians is going to be. It's not like story throughout, but you have that little step down. It's a little like Big Thunder in that regard, too. You have this middle section you have you have a beat in it where you yeah down stop and then go through that tunnel and get your what are those little fans uh supposed to be that give you power oh yeah i don't know what you would call that i mean like an old matchbox tracks like it all looks is supposed to be like you set up an elaborate old i mean it says roller coaster kit but it reminds me of like a matchbox or like slot car races yeah sure yeah yeah it's um i don't know what you would call those um but it's yeah it's very i guess i didn't i had some hot wheels i was not a big hot wheels kid i was not that into cars I was into like Ninja Turtle vehicles

That had wheels I had some cars Like the toilet taxi Which was a vehicle What? There was a Was it a vehicle? I don't remember that one

A Ninja Turtle toy I think it was for the villains Called the toilet taxi And it was Just a tiny little Like kind of ATV-ish Kind of thing But the seat was a toilet.

And now that I'm saying it out loud, I don't really know why it was called... They just maybe were putting it together with pieces of stuff. I don't know that you would shit into it and that was the fuel for the toilet taxi, but now that I've said it, it's canon, I guess. But neither of you had the toilet taxi?

Now that I see it, I remember the toilet taxi, but the toilet is like a secondary component. It also looks more like a dune buggy. There was also a talking toilet Ghostbusters toy too, I believe, like a ghost toilet. That I remember more. Do you remember the ghost toilet, Scott? No.

Here's the toilet taxi. It's a little small, but Leonardo's sitting on a toilet. I guess so. Is Leonardoott no here's the toilet taxi it's a little small but leonardo's sitting on a toilet i guess so leonardo's a good guy oh it is the good guys i was wrong it's not villains it's the good guy so leonardo would take a that makes a little more sense because they're scrounging you know scrapping that's what it yes well where else what are the else are they gonna find a seat the toilet is i guess the sewer. They flushed a toilet down the toilet. Someone flushed a toilet down a toilet. And Donatello used it for a vehicle. I was low on turtle vehicles, I think.

Did you have the blimp or the party wagon? I don't know that I had anything. I think I had just individual characters and weapons. I'm sorry. Yeah. Jason? I had the van. Party wagon?

Simple version. Yeah, the party wagon. It's a simple one. But that was it? Not the blimp? I think so. No, I never had the blimp. I saw a Batmobile and saw a Batplane,

and that did it for me. That's good. Was it the Keaton Batman Batplane? I had that, the Batwing. And the Batman Returns play set that is his mansion and the Penguin's lair. Do you still have that? I do, the Batwing. And the Batman Returns play set that is his mansion and Penguin's lair. Do you still have that? I do, yes.

You should display that on a mantle. Yeah, maybe I should. Yeah, that's just resting in my parents' closet, the nightmare of a toy in Toy Story. Oh, yeah. Nobody's played with it in quite a while. Can you imagine what they're saying about you since you've abandoned them? Oh, yeah. They must be really bitter.

Yeah. My toilet taxi is under us in the storage in our garage. Oh. So it's around. They feel your presence sometimes. They know you're close. You sometimes park it in your parking spot. I take the toilet taxi to auditions.

You take it around, yeah. Yeah. I will drive up and audition in a toilet taxi. I had a biplane. Like, Ghostbusters had some very weird, elaborate stuff. And it was like a biplane that Egon rode in. Oh, I know what you're talking about. It was a big, like, biplane.

Like, it was wild. They had to reach for these because they had to just keep selling us stuff. So they were just making up whatever. Every Batman either came with a catapult or a gun. Like Batman. Yeah. The famous character who loves projectile weapons. Well, yeah.

And then there would be like neon purple Batman from a Batman Forever. And you'd be like, he didn't wear this costume in the movie. And there were like 15 versions of it. There's a really funny joke in the Batman Brave and the Bold cartoon cartoon where it's like he goes into like it's like crazy it's like something luge batman and he like has a luge like in the olympics and it's just a it's making fun of like all these weird toys they've made over the years with him and like weird vehicles so he like uses a luge to get somewhere very fast okay Okay. Very funny. Like bat shark repellent, you know? It's a fine history of that. Yes.

Slinky Dog, I looked up, the manufacturer is a company named Mack Rides. Shout out to them. Shout out to them. They're out of Germany. Their full name has a bunch of German abbreviations I couldn't say, but colloquially called Mack Rides.

They have a very interesting track record of stuff. They've made a lot of rides for international parks. Okay. And they, here, domestically, Goofy Sky School. Okay, all the dreaded. And Coast Rider at Knott's. It seems like wild mouses are their specialty. You're saying Coast Rider, not Ghost Rider.

Coast Rider, yes, that's right. Okay. And then Dudley Do-Right's Rips All Falls. Oh. Storm Force Accelerator. Okay. And then, yeah, a lot of coasters, many of them at Alton Towers or Parks in Asia.

I think we do under-acknowledge these kinds of companies that actually build the things in a lot of cases. Yeah. Yeah. Totally do that. I'm impressed. Yeah. Yeah.

Good lineup, guys. Yeah. It feels like I'm always curious. We were talking about that RC car thing, which is kind of like a riff on these back... I don't even know what you call them, those back and forth carnival rides. Yeah. I'm always wondering what that company is.

And it's just off the shelf. And then they go, yeah, but can you just build the RC car from Toy Story around it? I guess that is sort of what it is. Sort of, yeah. We'll bring our design elements, but the engine is for them. Yeah. Which, if you're doing a ride that isn't reinventing the wheel, if's not a rise of the resistance that you know right has to be built from scratch i guess why not i mean that's what they did with rock and roller coaster i assume they weren't

just standard limo cars probably not limos already no i don't believe i think there's a level of customization it's interesting with disney because when it first opened they had to really get a lot of help they made some stuff themselves and then they got some like amusement park manufacturing, third parties. And then with Maypo, that was a machine shot. They would make so much of themselves,

but eventually it just made more sense as the industry grew to also use some third party companies to like, all right, we'll design the roller coaster and then you build the track and all this stuff you're how a garner holt who did not do hagrid's the how they like they they did the vehicle like nightmare is them and cars is them that uh they're like amending rides where like it's probably too much workload for disney to do it all from scratch yeah so they can take some of the weight off. Here's where it's talking about that RC thing.

I was thinking about this, how I don't think there is a franchise probably in Disney, probably anywhere that has more rides based on it than toy story. Yeah, for sure. There's the major ones. It is such a, in Ogden Augustine world,

there is so much convolutedness with this. So the slinky dog dash, which is different than Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin. There's Toy Story Midway Mania, but that is often called Toy Story Mania. So Jack Jack's Cookie Num Num versus Num Num Cookie. Sometimes it's a plain Num Num. Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters is also elsewhere called buzz lightyear space ranger spin and is also elsewhere called buzz lightyear's laser blast then there's jesse's critter carousel uh rc racer in one of the other ones is rex's racer uh and then toy story parachute drop is

a parachute or i'm sorry toy soldier parachute drop not toys story parachute drop and as i said woody's roundup and alien swirling saucers are the same ride mechanism but they have different themes and names there are so many on it is a very spread out convoluted ride franchise how many are how many are those that is uh one two if I'm not counting renames. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Do you count Woody's Roundup and Alien Swirling Saucers as the same ride?

No. Okay. 10. 10, I think. I'm trying to think. How many Batman related coasters are there? That's too tough. But that might be at least close.

Maybe there are or have been more Batman rides than Toy Story, but all so spread out everywhere. All over the place. We do have to hit that topic one day. That's a lot to tackle. But Batman the rides, the episode. Not Batman the ride, but all of the rides the rides is a very funny title

that's how I've had it in my head for a while and yet are any of them good is one of them good well by 1992 standards that Q and the coaster were really good I think it's pretty solid suspended or like

your feet hanging kind of coaster although i don't know if they're all that you know yeah i liked riddler's revenge which you would are we counting riddler in batman yeah right because it's one of his yeah yeah so i liked riddler's revenge i thought that was fun so you know they're fine there's nothing there's nothing and you count justice league in there i would well yeah i would count that i uh and i like that fun house they just put in where the jared leto joker throws used condoms at you you have to avoid them uh that was actually he's getting served for that he self-produced that on it was him in there oh yeah it was him on his cult eye his weird like

30 seconds to mars cult island and if you go up to guest services and you complain they just well it's part of his process you know it's just what he has to do did you not see the way for her did you know the way that you passed by on the way in that's just that's how he works acknowledge that any semen on your person is part of a process there should be a fun house with all the different jokers and all of their different processes for getting into character. Don't let Joaquin kick you. Joaquin will kick and punch.

And yeah, Jared, the condoms and rats, like a dead rat he gave to Margot Robbie, I think that was a thing he did. And then Jack will just like do a bunch of cocaine and watch a Lakers game. And then that's how he gets in character for the Jokeroker cesar romero's process painting his mustache painting the mustache has a cocktail while he's doing it very relaxed just remember to have fun it's so much fun he says there's a great interview with him if it's on twitter where he's in like a white undershirt and he's got the makeup on and there's just like a very old like

a lady like now she's not old but like an old time reporter and like oh you were in this Batman and he's like yes it's a wonderful time we enjoy it

it's fun to play the Joker that's great oh that's really nice you look like you're having so much we're having so much fun everything's wonderful and you cut to the

rat in a condom on the set of yeah i know suicide squad well also you cut to a different room at these batman 66 set where you had sent me the article of like producers tried to get burt war to take penis shrinking pills i did not anthony geo said oh i'm sorry anthony geo said it to us they tried to wait why don't they just i heard they like tried to tape him down they tried to shrink his dick there's also burt ward there he has a book that dick grayson's dick yeah he has a book about his exploits as robin and i've never read all of it but i remember like it was in our house growing up for some reason and it's a picture of his dick on the cover, essentially.

And I was like, I knew it was wrong. Wait a minute. What does that mean? Well, like a picture of the underwear. It wasn't his naked dick. Yes, that's not. Yeah. Essentially, that's not a picture of his dick.

But I'm saying, like, it's a close-up of, like, the underwear dick. It's a photograph? Yeah. With it on him. I'm saying that's not so far from the way I described it. I'm just saying, like. You're as offended by not so far from the way I described it. I'm just saying like, you're just, you're as offended at by a bulge as you would be by a,

well, a closeup bulge. Yes. If that's what the, what they're directing my eye line to, what you're saying is Batman 66 land would be multiple different levels of disturbing. Yeah.

But he talks about in that book about like, I feel like he's bragging about how much like sex he had. And then he's like talking about how his balls swelled up to the size of like grapefruits.

His balls grew? All I'm saying is that once in a while, he just starts talking about his dick and balls on the set of Batman in bizarre ways, and he's at it again. Chris O'Donnell doesn't do stuff like this. He's a respectable... Yes. He shows up, gets the work done, goes home.

So there's certain episodes where they had to strategically place thugs to block the two hulking grapefruits coming out of those tights. Well, and Adam West talked about stuffing. He put a sock in there. He had to build up? Yeah. Oh, no. Poor Adam.

But Burt Ward, maybe he's just weaving a tale. I don't know. I'm suspicious is all I'm saying. But then there's that great story of Adam West and Frank Gorshin going to an orgy. Whoa. You look that up. Oh, my God. The version that Adam West or Frank Gorshin tells is just like, and we went in and we were being silly and we left.

I mean, of course, that's not the way that ends. It's like, oh, my God, we're in orgy with Batman and the Riddler and they're participating. That's what I'm assuming. In costume. I don't believe they were in costume, but I'd like to imagine they were. No, he's somebody's going down on whether he's doing the. Yep. Yep. Yep.

Anyway. Oh, my. This episode is not staying on track. Yeah, for this being about a children's ride, it's got a lot of Batman sex in it. It's funny that you say that. So there's one restaurant back in Toy Story Land, Woody's Lunchbox. And they sell a couple couple different kinds of essentially like grilled cheese tater tots tomato soup they also have three different beers on tap like everything

is lunch like as if woody was getting it for lunch including they sell a snack that's like a package of three of those little baybell cheese wheels and then also you can get blue moon or angry orchard i see no issue here for dad i just think it's very funny that they're like well what's funny i think about it is is just that it's called like woody it's woody's lunchbox right it is woody's lunchbox yeah but it's it oh i guess woody is kind of because woody yeah if it was andy's lunchbox and andy was isn't andy's lunch i don't know now that i gotta double check this because if yeah it was Wade's. If Andy is sneaking on Angry Orchard,

that's funnier. Tastes like juice. I get a vodka, like a vodka drink at the Cozy Cone and Cars is a children's movie. Well, that's true. And I think you can get

a beer at Flo's. But the difference is if it's like tied to a character, if it's like Mater's scotch. It is Woody's lunchbox. That's the funny thing. If it's like a mater scotch it is woody's lunchbox that's the funny thing if it's like have a have a little shot with mater this is what mater likes to drink or it's like called

this like motor oil or his carburetor fluid there have to be places you can get alcohol that are named after yeah i'm trying to think of those other kids and the cars and Woody are grown-ups. Woody could be, I think Woody is like 70 years old. Woody is very old, that's true. And the cars are adult cars, so you're right, they can have alcohol. I mean, there's an implication that Bonnie Hunt's character in Cars had a bit of an adventurous youth, because they cut to her tramp stamp at some

point oh i didn't know that gag where she has like oh it's is that holly shiftwell no no that's a different character that's the spy now she's probably done some unspeakable things because what required in in the world of espionage right holly shiftwell is in cars two and then but who is who is bonnie hunt in cars one is she i want to say then who is Bonnie Hunt in Cars 1? I want to say Sally. Is that wrong? I can't think of Bonnie Hunt's character's name. She doesn't have a pun.

If she is Sally, that feels like a Helen to me. But I don't know that to be a fact. Yeah, I think you're right. Given that all of the cars have, yeah, that it's Lightning McQueen. It is Sally. It's Sally Carrera. She does have a last name. Oh, Carrera.

Okay, all right. That was such genuine delight. You giggled for a good solid three seconds. No, I just read it. Oh, and poor George Carlin is Fillmore. George Carlin? Oh, well, he didn't choose that name. That's true, he didn't.

Carl Sun. Delightful. You've never thought about that, have you? I have not thought about the fact that I could be a Cars character. You're a pun, yeah. Or if they, like, Flintstoned people's names, I wouldn't have to even... Like, if they Cars...

If Cars-ing people's names was just, like, Flintstoning people's names, but Rock or Stone, they wouldn't have to do that for carsing people's names was just like Flintstoning people's names, but rock or stone, they wouldn't have to do that for me. Yeah, you're already... Like Carl Olson. They really backed themselves in a corner with that Flintstones rock thing. Rock and stone, you mean? Yeah.

Like Sylvester Stallone stone, which they say in the Hollywood one. Yeah. They call him Sylvester Stallone Stone. They just added one. Just jam it on. Not Sylvester Stone Lone? Stone?

Stone Lone? I guess not Stol Stone. Yeah. Stone Lone. Stone Lone. Maybe I like, it kind of hit the ears weird at first, but now I'm coming around. I don't know. It's hard. It's hard. Sylvester Stone Lone. Yeah.one. It kind of hit the ears weird at first, but now I'm coming around. I don't know. It's hard.

It's hard. Best of Stone Lone. Yeah. It seems like a fun puzzle, but it could get infuriating at a certain point. Well, it was tough days in the Flintstones writer's room. Sure. Long hours. A lot of scotch for them.

Pack a day. Pack a day, writer's room. Yeah. There was no alcohol in Bugs Land, obviously. That was for children there wasn't really a restaurant there though so i bet if there was a restaurant you could have gotten a little you got a little something uh pixar pier yeah yeah that's true and paradise gardens pier paradise gardens no paradise gardens park next to the pixar place paradise pier hotel yeah vanity um slinky dog what else what else i

like the sound cues the slinky sounds like when you're going sure yeah and you're sitting in the body like you see the rings of it you're sitting in the middle of his uh body i i yeah that's great um i do like all the big boxes they really uh yeah went they got very like authentic looking boxes like and they made like facsimiles of like other companies and like games a lot like board game stuff and then right when you get right on the start i think is is where you see uh rex's box which i really enjoy oh Oh, yeah. Where Rex came from? And it's Tyrannosaurus Rex, and it's like... He's great. It's very painterly, 67. Yeah, he looks scary.

Oh. Yeah. And there's an Al's Toy Barn tag. That's fun. Nice. Which is real fun, which has the date of the movie when it came out, I believe, on it. I like that uh and then like there's a little there's a nod to like they call it's a fake company called like borealis who made him and then it's also available

from borealis triceratops and one of the videos i was watching was like does that mean that's tricksy also made by the same company probably probably i really like that idea that she's part of the same line line of dinosaur. That was clever, I thought. Then I did not know this on the box. Tyrannosaurus means tyrant lizard in ancient Greek, and Rex means king in Latin. You didn't know those things? I did not know. You didn't know those dinosaur

facts from like age six? No. Jason, you know? I knew the king part because of Oedipus Rex. Of course. I love the story of Oedipus. I'm really into Oedipus.

Freudian slip about Oedipus. There's a great little nod to the dog they adopt at the end of Toy Story 1. His little tag is hanging. Oh, that's good. Buster. And it has their address on it, which is very cute.

I like a lot of the boxes provide shade for much of the queue. That's a good practical thing because you're going to be waiting a while. It's been a complaint around there is shade. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they could have enclosed it a little more but i like the boxes a thing i'll say about the land itself is that it does remind me of the honey i shrunk the kids land yeah because it's got big stuff big things big toys so but there's no in a yard you're in a yard

but there's no like big thing to slide down or anything. No, yeah, a playground would be fun. Like a playground. I wonder if they're not doing that anymore for legal purposes. Probably right. Good point. Because, yeah, they don't want... Although they still have the Grizzly Challenge Trail up in California Adventure.

And you think that's just a twisted ankle waiting to happen. Yeah, yeah. And there's like a twisted ankle waiting to happen yeah yeah there's like a slide thing i think if it's already there it's grandfathered in yeah they wouldn't build one now i uh you know like i tend to not want to do the topic micro parsing but if you if you would have me seven-year-old me as a guest on the show i would have demanded to do honey i shrunk the kids playground separate from the kodak slide i would have said that's its own episode because to me at that time maybe my favorite attraction in disney world i loved the kodak slide i like that i yeah the kodak slide is very it looms large yeah and there were big bugs that I did not care for.

That's gross. And Honey, I Shrunk the Kid scared the shit out of me. I never saw it. The idea of a big bee. The big bee. I have never seen the first one. Whoa. All we talk about plus this up.

We'll figure out what we're doing for that soon. But yeah, hey, throw it on. It's fun. I'm sure it is. Yeah. I saw the second one. I've seen Blo it is yeah i saw the second one i've seen saw the second one in theaters i remember the first one i liked and i liked all the tricks but i also found the idea of like being trapped in somewhere familiar like we're trapped in the

yard and we're so little like i was like oh i don't know disturbing oh yeah i was disturbed by it disturbing yeah but but yeah my point with Toy Story Land is, like, it does feel like a place you would want to play in that way, in the way that they had it with Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Land. And this one even is, you know, it's less scary for me. I bet kids are loving this thing. I really like just the texture. I think the slinky car is pretty instantly classic.

I think it's as sharp as Dumbo. I don't know disney just has like good shine and good polish and uh slinky's just such an appealing character to see him big and shiny and uh yes um it's really nice i like that they've gone deeper with the characters like rc gets his own ride like it does feel like you generally like you get i'm trying to think of an example like with like it seems like woody and buzz that's the standard but like slinky what is he the seventh character like what would you say seventh build character something like that so you would think like like so i like i like that in addition like where it's like yeah let's get these other characters in here yeah they have a slinky ride that uh rickles mr potato head is such a major part like like such a neat part of

toy story mania that there's a jesse carousel now that there's a there's been a buzz ride for a very long time i like that it's it's a testament to the franchise that there's so many different uh kind of sectors of it uh just areas of the of the movies that like there's no overlap almost between the space ranger spin and toy star mania and slinky dog dish and of course there is one character that i do believe deserves uh his own ride a friend of the show buttercup the unicorn mr jeff garland should have his own ride somewhere in one of these parks we're doing it we're pitching it you and me mike that's true i'm calling agar right now and he does from what you've, that's kind of the spirit. Yes, I could see that happening. And then, you know, then it wouldn't happen.

Then it would go. You'd be like, hey, when are we going to pitch a ride? Yes. And then you're just weird. You're like, wait, we met Iger? Whatever. Okay. Whatever happened to that?

He never called me back. I just kept asking about the picture with the little girl running away. He wasn't wild about it. Yeah, I hear if you get the Disney dining plan, because it's just so much food, it fills you up. That's kind of like the Captain from WALL-E, right? Right? That was just two, right?

That was just two. Yeah, okay. That is kind of like that too much food i hear it's too much i've never done it too many family dinners it's not branded that way though it's not branded probably they probably immediately get flack for it i would assume the wall you ride is tough to tackle yeah yeah it's either you're in a landfill or you're on a ship full of people in chairs. Yeah. But I always had it pegged as something to do in carousel progress, people mover era.

I don't think that's what it would be now, but I think I had hopes at the time maybe there's some Wally attraction to plug in there. Sure. I still think there's a better Incredibles attraction too. 100%. Yeah. I like Incredicoaster, but obviously retrofitted and yeah oh my gosh there is a crazy i mean there have been rumors there was rumors of like a kooka arm style incredibles ride yeah with like i assume it's like superhero training the way you would the way i would do it is i would rip off like x-men danger room and put like you know the danger i would do it is i would rip off like x-men danger

room and put like you know the danger room is basically like uh the holodeck on star trek and you would just they'd go through you know real robots and holograms to train and you would like do something like that with incredibles when like you could do a bunch of crazy stuff sure um but yeah of course incredibles is so yeah ripe for a crazy the first islands that you go to are super cool i think um i think finding nemo honestly deserves something better i've heard that that crush coaster in uh paris seems kind of neat but uh you know sub subs and sea cabs these are not the finest finest attractions that ever were. Yeah. I have to give Iger credit because he says when he was in Hong Kong and watching all the parades and when he took over the company, he's like, oh, a lot of these characters are

Pixar. And the people are really getting excited for Pixar movies as opposed to our old movies. So that kind of like- Really dominated the early 2000s and late 90s. I think the Toy Story character's too popular internationally because everywhere plays with toys and it's very bright and colorful. They should do like a Tokyo Disney 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea type ride. Yes.

Because 20,000 Leagues- Or a fake, not truly underwater yeah yeah because the difference of 20 000 leagues in tokyo is that it's not actually under the water it's just like on a it's kind of like peter pan but it makes it look like you're underwater and there's like a like there's a thing like a layer like a a little layer with water in the screen to make it look that shoot up bubbles yes that fully uh um and yeah, you just have stuff looking like it's floating. And you could do a real cool Nemo thing that way.

Well, the Disney Sea one, Nemo Sea Rider, isn't... It's alright. It's fine. It didn't make my top ten. No, but also, it's Tokyo Disney Sea. It's very crowded. It was better than I thought it would be, though. I was like, well, no one's talked about this,

so it must be kind of a minor one. And I was like, oh, that's fun. Yeah, yeah. Like, that's still pretty good. Yeah. It's like in the bottom 20, and it's still pretty good. Yeah. This Toy Story Land in Florida is also getting a restaurant. It's getting the Roundup Rodeo Barbecue Restaurant.

Oh, yeah. It really only has that lunch and uh woody's lunchbox stand so this is like it's filthy beer this is a table service barbecue i think it's very funny the timing of like they're gonna open this as well as the regal eagle barbecue at epcot disney i think discovering like well if you make meat in bulk and you can make all the sides in bulk and, you know, per portion, it's very cheap and you can sell it, you know. We have not talked about the Eagle, Regal Eagle, which is Sam Eagle's a new, yeah, themed after Sam, the patriotic eagle character from the Muppets, which this was announced and most people were pretty psyched on it because any more Muppet presence is great.

Yeah. And then other people were like, oh, okay, so we're jamming more IP into the parks, huh? So what, it's Guardians over here and Muppets over here? This doesn't make any sense. This is against the spirit of old Epcot. And I'd just like to say, if you were mad about a Sam the Eagle vaguely themed barbecue restaurant, you're not allowed to listen to the show anymore.

Oh, my gosh. You're gone. Get in the back of there. You're out. Oh, no. Jason is in a head as the Patreon is drained. Oh, no. That was the linchpin.

How will I pay for this delicious looking? Actually, this looks really like grilled sourdough sandwiches. Jason is swirling the toilet taxi. His fan is dreaded. I just bought a toilet taxi. That statement would topple the Jenga tower of the entire Patreon. I don't know. No, I just, I don't think it is because I think our audience is nice and fun.

I noticed, I saw people, I don't know I just I don't think it is because I think our audience is nice and fun I I noticed I saw people I don't because I don't know you know there's the there's the Disney fan oh dark web uh it's not the dark web because it's easy to find it's the dark web and that they are all very unhappy all the time and I definitely noticed some people there's some like there's there's some Epcot purism that's really nutty to me i don't know how how is it the future park if you don't ever change it in any way ever ever for anything well i mean look there's groups facebook groups other groups message boards with a lot of people we still are we have a lot of listeners um but these places have been around for decades, and a lot of people frequent them. So you're going to get some people that literally wanted exactly how it was when they went 30 years ago.

But there's videos and pictures to enjoy. My big thing, thinking about the context of it, though, is that Epcot World like world showcase everyone likes the food there's something for everyone everyone goes to epcot to eat except the american pavilion they've had a few different concepts they're famously like everyone's like oh they don't need the american pavilion i mean they just a few years ago tried like food from around america but trying to make regional staples like philly cheesesteaks or Maryland-style crab cakes, notoriously difficult that you would stick the landing on a couple of them, let alone all of them.

Barbecue, uniquely American. I think they're even going to try like a vinegar-based sauce, mustard sauce, ketchup-based sauce, like, you know, all the different kinds of barbecue. That's still like, I feel like their chances of success is higher and sam the eagle is a very funny character that's a very funny restaurant in a very like kind of stodgy pavilion as it is kind of serious and i'm sure it's not gonna they're not gonna have the budget to theme it like crazy it's not like it going to be the ultimate idea of what that could be. I looked at it.

I found the tweet. Somebody said, you can't hate Frozen in Norway and love Muppets in American Adventure. Get absolutely bent. This is stupid as shit. Wow. Why would an eagle on a crest of a barbecue restaurant in an amusement park make you that mad? That is a strong take. Yeah. Love that passion,

brother. Love that for you. Maybe put it into our politics or the election or anything else. I'd be afraid where it would lead in our politics. Yeah, maybe so. I'm reeling from that. Right? That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, I was going to say

it's going gonna be as lightly themed as pizza rizzo i mean let's be honest yeah it's not gonna be i've just opened up another oh maybe we need to do something and i don't want to quote i don't want to quote the bad pizza i don't well you know what i will quote the keeper. Sometimes it feels good to be bad. But yeah, it's going to be lightly themed, whatever. Yeah, come on. You know what I like? The motto, a post about the Regal Eagle Smokehouse.

Sam's Centennial Cook-Off, colon, a salute to all cook-offs, but mostly barbecue. Yeah, that's great. A great reference to Muffin Vision. That's plenty of fun here's a here's a take uh uh i texted our friend justin uh and he said what upsets me about this is that disney has an underused sam eagle from america sings his character that character's name is sam one he was upset that sam eagle was not being used. That's a little confusing.

All the eagles are named Sam. There's those two and the Olympics mascot from 84. Is that Sam? Yeah. Eagles are all Sam. Really? So that's the Sam test for eagles. Yeah.

Now, it's a tough, I don't want to be too harsh with that test because I like all three of these characters. Those are good eagles. But if you can point out any eagle in fiction not named Sam, and I'm sure there are no counterexamples to this. I'm sure we won't get 10 immediately. Nope. They're all Sam. They're all Sam.

The barbecue restaurant will also be using cardboard boxes. It will look like cardboard boxes put together. And Andy is building a rodeo. So he's into rodeos now. He's into roller coasters. He really has developed some eccentric hobbies. So you think this is Andy in his 30s? He's watched Chef's Table, Chef's Tour,

and he's got a lot of thoughts about low country versus other parts of Carolina barbecue. He's got middle-aged man hobbies. Yeah. Where like, you know, I bought a slow cooker. Because you know they're going to have craft brews. Make my own beer. All these laces.

I'm making my own beer in the garage. It is Andy's beer. Yeah. And this is not Andy's backyard when he was a kid it's andy's backyard now he has no wife or family uh and he had to rebuy woody and buzz and all of his friends from auction sites and like going to physical auctions he spent like 60 grand reassembling the gang uh-huh um this is called this is called we pull a carlson i was gonna say this is like what i do or what zach rider is doing yeah every week of his life i'm really assailing you yeah you're assailing me and him who are reassembling our

childhood hundreds of dollars i would assail one of those two, but I would be worried about doing it to the other. Me? You mean me? Yes. You're worried about me? I guess I'd less rather upset you than Zack Ryder, yes. Well, we'll see. I mean, he's listening. He's listening to us right now.

I guess he is. Oh, yeah. He might be. When Zack Ryder's toys come to life when he leaves, they're like, really? More? So many of us. Jesus. It is crowded. It's like they're like really more so many of us jesus it is crowded it's like they're

very like unhappy because there's such no room for anyone fine 15 more nothing but shelf space sure pile them on it's like a subway in a company or a subway in a country that's just very overpopulated like it's shoulder to shoulder at his house. It's overcrowded. Yeah. Third world train. You know, I have a pitch, actually. If they don't like Sam Eagle, let's make it just Tim Allen's American barbecue. Oh, wow.

And get Tim over there and just have his face. I guess put like a tri-corner hat on his head. Yeah, it's just regular American stuff. It's not, you know, no pad thai or tai chi or whatever they call it. It's just like regular beer. Yeah, regular style. Regular style. I had to twist his arm to get Bud Light and Miller Light.

All right, put the lights on. All right. All right. I know what that says about you. Well, calorie count with the beer Because the entrees are fully loaded Everything is fully loaded No weird grapefruit in there You know nothing weird

Who gives a shit about grapefruit Alright okay well now there's no need That's the end of that Harold I think you survived podcast three. Okay. Hey, what a delight. I wish I could have ended more improv shows with just going, okay, that's the end of that.

All right, that's enough. Making the Tim Allen wolf-like dog noise. Oh, if only, yeah. Well, the Harold team, the UCB team that peppers in Tim Allen sound effects and they wipe with We are tool time. The whole improvement themed improv team. Tool team. We're tool team.

When UCB also falls victim to the IP mania that we're experiencing, and every Herald team has a different IP attached to it. Then we really know we're in hell. We really know that the bottom has fallen out. It's less inventing. You don't invent a whole new improv show from scratch. You just kind of make up a home improvement episode on the fly. Yes, exactly. Honestly, it sounds like a pretty good show,

now that I'm thinking about it. What are the kids' names? Do we know anything? Shit. I mean, I know their actors' names. Randy is one of them. Yeah, there you go. Okay, can I get a suggestion for a problem that Randy's dealing with at school? What is Jill upset with Tim about? Can I have a suggestion of what Jill is upset with

Tim about? Can we get a suggestion for what the Tool time girl is wearing. All right. Short denim shorts. All right. Has Tim taken the garbage out or has he not? Okay. He's not.

Great. Thank you so much. Can I get a suggestion for how much of Wilson's face you can see? About half. Okay. Very good. I heard about half. How can Tim humiliate Al?

I need a suggestion of something that Tim can say about Al that would humiliate him on TV. Real quick, Tool Time Girls, obviously, one is Pamela Anderson. The other, I forget the actress's name. Lisa was Pamela Anderson. What is the other character's name? Sam. I want to keep saying it's Wendy, but that can't be right. It's either Sam or Helen.

Can we look it up here while I do the plugs? Yeah, do it. Look it up quick. For more podcasts, the ride, follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. And please let us know if you can think of any eagles not named Sam. I'm sure there are zero. If you're Zach Ryder, feel free to threaten me for making fun of your toys. And also, everyone, Sam the Eagle, barbecue haters included, please follow us at the second

gate at patreon.com slash podcast, The Ride. And the verdict is... Heidi. Heidi. Heidi. Mm-hmm. Hmm. Interesting.

Heidi Keppert. Heidi Keppert. Pretty interesting name, but not a car pun. So no giggles from Jason. I was just hoping it was Wendy and Lisa. Oh, that'd be nice. But it it's not it's Heidi and Lisa oh well keep dreaming and folks keep listening we'll be
