FOREVER! DOG! Warning! The following live podcast is presented begrudgingly by people who would rather be at Oga's Cantina right now. If you are prone to epileptic seizures, do not sit in rows 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, or 15. At some point in the show, there will be a massive dump of Shrek 4D surplus water. The first three rows will get typhoid. And now, from a theater that's only two blocks away from a Chuck E. Cheese, it's Podcast The Ride Live! Hello. Hello. Oh my God, hello and welcome to Podcast The Ride, the podcast about theme parks hosted by three men who hired nannies tonight to babysit their rexes.

It's true. Concerned about the little guy, don't want him to get droidnapped. I'm Scott Gairdner, hello, hello. My name is Mike Carlson. And I'm Jason Sheridan. Thank you. Yeah. Sure is.

He sure is. Yeah, starting already. I want to say kudos to Jason for working on a holiday. In case you don't know, today is National Donut Day. Yeah, let's hear it. Usually, Jason just sits in his room. It's a day of remembrance. But today he's made an exception to come and entertain all of you.

Yes. Thank you. Yeah, so it's our 100th episode, really. Yeah. We're at it. It's in progress. Right now, we can't think of a better way than to spend it with all of you. We really appreciate you coming out.

Yes, thank you so much. How many people have listened to all 100? Wow. Pretty good. That's something. Alright, well then, you know, this is going to be a big treat for everybody. But I realized, like, the 100th episode, that's sort of a big deal.

That's an auspicious occasion. And we can't just come out here like normal and say, welcome to the podcast. We've got to do to do something bigger and i started thinking who is the world's greatest welcomer who is the person who is the best anywhere at welcoming people to things and with that in mind i created a little video that we're debuting tonight Turn your eyes to the screen for the world's greatest welcomer.

Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? The show was... Second. Wait a second. Take him away. Take him away. Okay. So, that's not part of the welcome. No.

Now you've officially been welcome to the show. Now we can all officially say... Oh, yeah. Hello. Hello. Hello. One of those, he was drawn into a Little Orphan Annie comic strip. Mm-hmm. Yes.

By the way, for the 20s, he was on a raft. There's so much going on. Being drawn into a Little Orphan Annie comic strip, your. By the way, for the 20s, he was on a raft. There's so much going on. Being drawn into a little orphan Annie comic strip, your dream. My dream. We can only hope.

We shouldn't just go too Jason hard right now, but you did. We had a whole plan of how we were going to start this thing, and then we got the text that you got yourself

into a hot dog mess. Well, plans are off changing everything. Scott said, save it for the pod. on the text that you got yourself into a hot dog mess. Plans are off, changing everything. Scott said, save it for the pod. The phrase was hot dog hijinks. Sorry. I shouldn't rewrite you, I'm sorry.

I went to eat dinner at the Fonda next door after tech. It's very nice, wonderful mariachi bar. There is a giant sign out front that says $10, like two tacos or a plate of wings, $10, an entree and a beer. And one of the things was a Dodger dog. And I was like, oh, I'm a hot dog and a beer. That sounds lovely. And I go in and that same sign is inside and it is on the bar top on the bar and i sit there for about 20 minutes before anyone comes behind the bar and when he does i go oh i just want this hot dog and a beer thing and he goes we don't do that anymore and he took it down and so and I did try I was like

well oh it's on the sign outside and he's like this is the happy hour menu and it's just the regular menu it's like okay well

that answers that no hot dogs no hot dogs for me it was outside the restaurant too like a banner heavily featured

yes well I think these hijinks cannot be blamed on you for once. For once. Did you leave like a Yelp review or something? Not yet. We'll see. He's been known to do that.

That's not a joke. Oh. They're long. He writes very long ones. That was like eight years ago, and you're still just digging in. Mike's brain does not let go. If you haven't learned that book yet.

I have not forgotten a fact about you in a decade. You told me that as a child, you caught pond eels in a pond. Yeah. What is that? What are you thinking? It's eels that live in a pond. Like, it's not a big...

Fair enough. You know? All right. He answered the question. What do you want? Yeah. Yeah, he is true. But look, we're not just here to talk about pond eels.

No. We're here, and we can do this show, you know, when we did the live show with Tony Baxter at the That's From Disneyland exhibit. Thank you. You know, we were kind of on our best behavior because there was an imaginary legend there, and also Scott's parents were there. Mom and dad, and we are very good boys. We are good boys. No curses. But no parents are here tonight.

Yeah! Yeah! So we can do whatever we want that would upset BB Boomer parents. It's time to renounce God. Bring out the golden calf. We worship a new faith now. You know what? Oh, sorry.

I was just going to say, when I'm at home, sometimes I will say, like, Hail Satan, and my mom gets mad. Like, very mad. Not like kind of mad. Very mad. Not when you're at your apartment now. She doesn't, like, sense that you did it. No, she knows. She knows.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Could be the case. Well, what we are doing tonight may be considered an abomination against God in its own right. We had a big goal tonight, which was to just say, podcast the ride live and see if people came without us saying what the hell we were doing. And you all came and we really appreciate it. Yeah, thank you. So really, we

don't owe you anything. It's true. Yeah, you're seeing us. You're sitting in chairs in a theater. We've fulfilled our obligations. It's the biggest prank of all. Goodbye? That was the idea.

But we do, okay, we do have a topic. We thought of something to do. Uh-huh. And it's something we've been looking forward to doing for a very long time. And if I could consult my notes really fast. Because to tell you what we're doing tonight, we have to go all the way back to February 8th, 2001. The opening

of Disney's California Adventure. Disneyland's second gate was unveiled to the worst reviews and poorest word of mouth that the company had ever received and most of the ire was reserved for one particular attraction. Yeah.

Yeah. This is, including us, a room of insane people. Get ready, Seasons of the Vine. You're in our, you're in the fucking scope. No. Fucking hate shot. Not Seasons of the Vine. Jeremy Ir in our, you're in the fucking scope. No. Fucking hate shot. Not season two. Jeremy Irons

taking him down a peg. No. My precious Mondavi wine movie. Don't say it ain't so, Jason. The early 2000s were a great time for Robert Mondavi.

Bankruptcy. California Park. He went bankrupt in the early 2000s. Oh, okay. Well, that's an episode. That's a second case. Coming up, we're going to shit on Mondavi hard.

But for now, we're going to shit on something else. A ride so hated that it became the first ride ever to close at Disney's California Adventure. Theme park tourist called this attraction unfunny, instantly dated, and creatively starved.

We at Podcast the Ride call it the perfect topic. Ladies and gentlemen, the name of the ride, let's all say it together, Superstar Limo! Shit! Yeah! We're doing it!

It's been dead for so long, but tonight and tonight only, we are bringing it back to life here at Dynasty Typewriter. We're all going to go on the ride together. So with that being said, guys, let's bring out the limo

oh boy Oh, boy. Yay. Aren't we? Yeah. Aren't we? Right there on the license plate. Hey, thanks to Aaron Gairdner for building this little thing for us. Hey, wow.

Oh, geez. Aaron, who has designed all the shirts. Oh, yeah. The little girl. The Pantanica shirt. A round of applause for Aaron. Now her finest work, a bunch of sparkly stars taped onto garbage, which is literally what this is, and yet this is not dissimilar from the actual ride vehicles of Superstar Limo.

Should the limo be more straight? Oh, wait. Well, you should swing out that side. Show the wheels, fellas. Yeah, there's wheels. Am I upside down? No. No, you're right on.

I'm good, right? I was thinking also, oh, wait, you got the steering wheel. Oh, yeah, the steering wheel. Mike's going to be our guide. He's going to take it for a spin. Hey, give us a steer. I was thinking also with this configuration, I guess Mike would be the pilot.

I'm the gunner. The pilot of the, yeah. And Jason is, unfortunately, the engineer. The engineer, the most stressful position on Millennial Falcon Smugglers. Anton, Anton podcast, right? Superstar Limo, you read one review of it.

Denver's Rocky Mountain News called this attraction whelming. They called it whelming and then clarified in the next sentence, that is worse than underwhelming. A layer below hell.

Oh, my God. So, I mean, like, okay, this attraction, it's kind of emblematic of everything that was wrong with California Adventure when it opened. If anybody else like me grew up around Disneyland and went all the time as a kid, you remember what a bummer era this was. Because we're still, the rocket rods are still fresh in our memory. Light magic, if anybody witnessed the fiasco, that was light magic. It was kind of like the Randy Quaid, Anthony Michael Hall season of SNL.

But it went on way longer. It was way more expensive. It was a bummer of a time, and it really all culminated in this. And you went on this. No, no, no. I didn't go. I didn't go to... I felt so betrayed by the negative reviews that California Adventure was getting that

I didn't step foot in the place until they added some better stuff. Right. Jason, you also did not go on this. I did not. No, the first time I went to California Adventure was adventure was like 2006 so it was already monsters inc i didn't go on it either yeah uh all right well we're all it's all gonna be fact-finding mission together then um but if i had to guess i would guess that it sucked just call me crazy but crazy, but that's my hypothesis. I mean, one of the big

bummers about it is that the betrayal of Westcott not happening in general. We were promised this crazy beautiful park, and instead we got the world's biggest mural, and that big orange and wine movie.

I mean, there was a letdown to to all of it and then this in and of itself even the bad idea of we should say a ride where you get in a limousine and it takes you around a kooky version of Hollywood even there was even apparently it was supposedly a better version of this that did not come to pass yeah you were supposed to go into a recreation of the theme building that's the building in the center of lax that's kind of like you know very neatly designed had a restaurant in it called encounters which was uh former imagineer eddie

soto worked on in the 90s so there was a disney connection to it sure yeah but uh then the money had to get scaled back. And they ended up with, do you have a picture of the facade? Did we end up with one of those? I don't know that we do. Maybe we didn't. Well, the logo tells you something.

That's the gist of it. With a tribute to the 110 freeway. Seeing that paid homage to in a theme park and the idea of traffic is great to remind people of. Is there an uglier sign in theme parks?

You're maybe competing with your what was the sunglass? There was like a dinosaur with sunglasses. That was great. That was great? Yeah, the dinosaur with the sunglasses? Oh, no, I'm going to get shouted down on this. I don't recall.

Look, I have a vague sense of me not liking the typography, but I'd have to have it in front of me to know. All right, we'll figure it out. Again, in a later episode, of course. We're going to stumble on 12 or so ideas, I'm sure, while we go. Of course, this was originally supposed to be a fast-paced thrill ride where you avoided the paparazzi.

Unfortunately, then the paparazzi killed Princess Diana and her lover, Dodi Afayed. Everyone always forgets Dodi, but... Don't forget Dodi. Thanks, thanks jason yes even him alive uh yeah so they disney very quickly were like well we cannot be trying to outrun the paparazzi in this ride that is the most ghoulish thing imaginable yeah but that's where i start to wonder what's up, because so the solution then is not to do a different ride.

It's to do this ride, but slow and bad. Yes. Was there no other, nothing but the paparazzi could have been the villain of this? Well, they talked about trying to clone Tower of Terror or Rockin' Roller Coaster, but those cost money that they did not have.

We also almost got the Rock and Roller Coaster version with No Doubt. They were going to pay homage to the Orange County music scene, you know, of which I'm told No Doubt is part. I'm very cool. I know a lot about music. Were you guys reading the same Jim Hill article that I was? Oh, my friend.

I was reading that long ago. You read it when it first came out. I did. I'm a Jim Hill original, yes. I have all the stuff of what supposedly was in the ride. Oh, yeah, yeah. We will show you, if you don't already know, some of the things that were in this ride, but in the ride or oh yeah yeah so this even though i mean we will show you if

you don't already know some of the things that were in this ride but in the in the jim hill article and multiple theme park articles are like oh but what could have been and you read what could have been and you're like i don't think that should have been either yeah there's one thing i like and then the rest of it when they're describing it as like this was going to be better i don't know well let's do you do you say what you don't like or what you do well the stuff i like And then the rest of it, when they're describing it as like, this was going to be better. No. Do you say what you don't like? Well, the stuff I like is that as you boarded your limousine, Disney CEO Michael Eisner would appear on the ride vehicle video screen and reminded you that you still hadn't signed the contract for your next picture. Finally, the Michael Eisner ride. There would have been a goddamn Michael Eisner ride.

Which is what we want. There's many episodes where I've pined for like a $150 figure of Michael Eisner. And maybe if this existed, that would have been a piece of merch. Because he was an in-park character. Definitely would have been. Would he also have like spun around and played songs through Bluetooth I think he would have he would have been deactivated but then at D23 two years ago

they would have been like we've got a big announcement for Star Wars Land DJing in the cantina the robot of Michael Eisner DJ hello DJ hello hello.

DJ, hello. Hello, I'm DJ. Hello. Hello. Hello. I'm the CEO of Cool Jams. So, yeah, so that was part of it, and that's the best part in this Jim Hill.

Now, Jim seems to think a lot of this stuff is, like, very good, but I might disagree. We come from different places, I think, in general. But did you read about the typical gag? I sure did, but please. Do you want me to read this? Steer us to the best gag that never was. Okay, a typical gag would have been, and these are not my words, so I apologize. This is 2019.

I would not use this terminology. A typical gag would have been... What are you about to say? You'll see. I'm not going to do anything crazy. A typical gag would have been, as you roared up on Tail O' the Pup, that famous Los Angeles area hot dog stand

that's shaped like, what else? A giant hot dog. You would have seen the back of this grotesquely fat man dressed in a white rhinestone studded jumpsuit. At the same time, you hear the unmistakable sound of flatulence. As your limo took the corner, you'd see that the man in rhinestone jumpsuit was actually Elvis Presley. As for the source of that breaking wind sound, you'd eventually see that the noise comes

from the squeeze bottle of mustard that Elvis held in his hand. The king would give the bottle a few more squeezes, making even more whoopee cushion noises as he squirted mustard out on his hot dog. Presley would say, thank you very much as our limo roared off into the darkness.

The paparazzi, again, in hot pursuit. Yeah, so that sucks. Like that was the good one. That was like, you know, this is what you missed out on, folks. Yeah, that's like Jim Hill's Westcott. Oh, what could have been?

I don't, yeah. He makes quick mention of another thing where you see an ad or something or that the three tenors the three tenors

are playing somewhere and then they turn around and it's one he also says it's one fat guy with three heads what in LA

where the tenors famously reside. Yeah. That's what we're dealing with. And also, well, the little slam. Did you guys come across the little slam? Yeah, that Michael Eisner supposedly liked? That you would come upon Dream Jerks Studio.

Eat shit, Katzenberg. Eat it. The average tourist is like, what a burn on Jeffrey Katzenberg eat it the average tourist is like what a burn on jeffrey katzenberg about time alternate uh versions uh warner bastards 20th century fucks. That's pretty good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can I try one? Yeah, I bet it. United Fartists?

Hell yes. I think you understand the Superstar Limo voice. I think I got it. Submit your spec. I think they'll hire you. The Mary Pickford account, very upset by that joke. So people, we're going to build this

ride. That was the plan for a while. People are excited about that. Oh, and by the way, then at the end, Michael Eisner reappears and it's something like, well, you got caught by the paparazzi too many times. You know, can't have somebody involved in scandals representing the Disney company, so you and the limo would have been the first James Gunn.

Well, that was one of the blues guys. You were on your way to one of those parties that he got in so much trouble for. Boy. So he tells you, like, better luck next time, kid. So you don't. You lose the ride. It's a less exciting Radiator Springs where you always lose. instead of a big mater

it's michael eisner on a tv it's just like the millennium falcon ride you always lose every time we got off it it was like things were broken on the walls yeah we only lost and lost less. Yes, we lost and lost less. So people, this is, we're going to do this. This is great. Then the death of Princess Diana. We got to change course. Other rides too expensive. So we got to go full speed ahead with this. So they have to reconfigure what this ride is going to be.

And it ends up being something that's a little more based in, you know, it's a little more cartoony. It's a little more about puns. And so the thing does get built. And, you know, there's a little sample of it that right before you get onto the ride, the cast member says, how many in your entourage? Yes, correct. They should have gotten an audience and said that

and heard them groan. Might have changed some minds. The voiceover in the queue said, the white curbs are for loading and unloading. No schmoozing. Yeah. This is all, this is Hollywood

as inspired by, like, one of those maps you could buy in the 90s where everything was drawn in, like, bad, mad, mad ripoff style. Not mad TV ripoff style.

What are you saying? Like, bad, mad magazine style. Like, those souvenir maps that were, like, cartoony. Do you mean the ones you would fold in? Yeah, they were kind of, no, like those souvenir maps that were like cartoony. Do you mean the ones you would fold in? Yeah, they were kind of, no, like.

Like when you would go to a theme park, they would like sell maps to, or like you'd go to cities that had like, look, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty. It was kind of like cartoony and you could hang it up on the wall. Am I the only one who bought one of these pieces of garbage? Does anyone know what he's talking about? Thank you. Okay.

Like novelty maps that were like posters. So there would be like jokes on them or something? Kind of, yeah. Not even jokes? Not even jokes, really. Very much like this ride. All right. But what the ride lacks in comedy that works,

it makes up for in, well, terror. It's almost scarier than the Haunted Mansion. Wait, first of all, well, let me say one thing first. The exterior, okay, so they like, they were going to build the LAX theme building, that big cool pod, but instead they do something different. They build a recreation of Union Station.

And so you go into Union Station, and you walk in. And then you are inside. You're seeing baggage carousels, and you're inside LAX. What? It's the train station, and then you're in LAX. It's already like something's wonky. And then you wind through these just like depressing TSA kind of corridors. So this is, okay,

this is a real picture of the queue on this ride. And look how... This is like Ellis Island or something. Yeah. What was that? Oh, the limos in the way of the screen. Oh, sure. The limo's in the... Oh, you're missing out.

Is that better? Which one? Just imagine the hallway where you've been the saddest. That's what it looks like. I am using the limo for warmth now as I am directly under the air conditioner and I've been slowly putting my sleeves down. Oh yeah.

Yeah. Reflected. Yes. Turn on the heat. Um, so, okay. So,

so then you get on the ride itself and the very first thing you do on the ride is go into a dark tunnel, you know, not at all like the one Princess Diana died in. Like, still a limo in a dark tunnel. But then there's a little flash of light and you meet one of the most unique characters in theme park.

You know that we love our original characters that are only found in theme parks, but I don't know that we describe the word love to Swifty LaRue. We have a little taste of Swifty here, and just experience him for yourself. Welcome to Hollywood. Looking sensational as always.

Listen, I'll have your contract for you at the premiere, okay? Just get to the Chinese Theater pronto, you hear me? Everybody's waiting, capisce? Now don't be late, babe. Don't worry, we'll get you there in time. So that's Swifty LaRue. Did anyone, when that played accidentally at the start, did anyone go, oh shit, it's Swifty LaRue?

Good on ya. You know what's up. I'm a little pre-spoiler. And you love Swifty. Who doesn't love Swifty? Who doesn't love Swifty? You're my favorite audience members, the ones who love Swifty.

What do you guys think Swifty had to do to climb the ladder to get to this Hollywood agent position? I feel like you have an idea in your head. I have just been trying to figure out. I feel like he started at the mail room at one of the big agencies

and then he covered up an embarrassing... It's like he flushed the drugs. Or he covered up like an embarrassing, like it's like he flushed the drugs. Or like he covered up someone like almost swallowing their tongue or something. That, honestly, not so bad. Like there's worse things people could cover up. So he got off in light if that's it. Oh, okay.

He killed Jim Belushi. Jim Belushi? Oh. Oh. Jim Belushi? Oh Oh Somebody check on Jim Belushi Oh no I have an alibi I was on stage

He's got a plastic knife in his throat Jason and Swifty LaRue orchestrated Jim Belushi's murder. You lure him to a trap with a trail of harmonicas. To a large box with a stick holding it up. What if the guest was Jim Belushi and he was just going to play some harmonica for you? That would be awesome, actually. We're going to hand it over to a good buddy of ours.

Do something a little different tonight. A little less theme park stuff. I think you're going to enjoy it. He wants to talk to you about muddy waters. Although, here's the theme park connection. The Buena Park Portillos. There's a picture of Jim Belushi in there. And there's a picture of Jim Belushi in every Portillo's nationwide.

Not a joke. I grew up with that photo in Schaumburg, Illinois. In your home, right? Yeah, I had a copy made. When you said Hail Satan, you were referring to Jim Belushi. Yeah, yeah. So Swifty LaRue

you know, I'm just glad that now it's 2019 and we know that Swifty LaRue has finally been brought to justice. He can never his brother Bob LaRue took over the LaRue company and who knew nothing.

That's the basis for him, right? You'd have to think. Harvey Weinstein has to be the basis for him. Well, surely there was no one else in Hollywood who was like that besides Harvey Weinstein. He was the only one. Yeah. So that's my assumption.

Creepy, hairy-chested cigar chomper who says capiche and babe and why? Oh, was there ever this Hollywood? Did Michael Eisner come up in this Hollywood? Like, did he get phones thrown at him as a mailroom guy and he's fond of the word capiche and some bizarro? I feel like it only exists in, like, Wag the Dog or The Player or something like that. These movies of like... Showbiz movies.

Showbiz movies. Yeah. Yeah. One director was told capiche once and he never forgot it. Yeah. It's like growing up on the East Coast. Anytime you watch something set in LA,

you're like, God, I guess everyone's eating at Spago and Chin Chin all the time. It's the only restaurant. It's the only restaurant. Hard Rock Cafe. Well, I mean, you know, speaking of L.A. stuff. So, all right, here, you know, let's kind of play the character of this rest. Swifty told us that he's got a contract for us if we can get to the Chinese theater.

So we all got to get to the Chinese theater, and Mike, you're the navigator, so how are we going to do it? Because if we're taking the actual route of the ride, because it's little cartoon representations of different parts of L.A., and you L.A. natives will appreciate all that, all the inside references.

So here's the path that you, to the most, what's the clearest way from LAX to the Chinese theater? Well, it would probably be from LAX to Rodeo Drive to the Sunset Strip to Bel Air to Malibu to Muscle Beach and then to the Chinese theater. You're not going to be able to see this listening at home,

but I did the liberty of throwing this into a Google map. Yeah, let me just bring that up right here. Oh, sure. There you are. Everybody can see it. Three hours and nine minutes. Well,

that's 86.8 miles. It's 86.8 miles. It's 86.8 miles, but that's if you're in a car like you and me. But remember, this isn't your Princess Diana deathmobile. This is a slow-moving limousine. So let's be generous and say 10 miles per hour. Then probably you're getting to your premiere in like 8 hours 40 minutes. So you're welcome for doing the math of Superstar Limo. I'm spending my time well.

So Mike, take us off. Let's go for a spin. Okay, so here, let me get the wheel. Yeah. And here we go. Whoa. We're driving. I'm going to buckle in.

Oh, no. Before we started, of course, we were watching a TV show hosted by Joan Rivers. Oh, yeah. Hey, Swifty's not the only terrifying puppet in town. I never touched Puppet Joan. so yeah so before that she gave a like a gossip report about brad pitts and and oh i don't know i don't remember what joan does oh well she's just she's in the queue okay and she is just like oh my god brad pitt and uh who is he she was he with aniston at the time maybe jennifer aniston or and like there's just some bullshit.

And it's like one of the old E! shows she did. Except, you know, she looks way terrifying. Sure. Oh, the Q also reminds you, don't wear white after Labor Day. Like some Miss Manners-ass bullshit. Yeah. Never understood that. It's always after Labor Day. It's after a Labor Day at all bullshit. Yeah. Never understood that. It's always after Labor Day.

It's after a Labor Day at all times. Yeah. Don't get it. Yes. But so, well, so the thing is, why Eisner no longer wanted to appear in the ride, A, he was probably starting to think, maybe this is not a good idea

and I don't want to be on this ride anymore. But also, the ride's getting more cartoony, right? It should be like a cartoon agent guy, and that's where you get Swifty from. A live-action Michael Eisner is not gonna fit. And as they're putting this thing together, they realize that puns

alone are not going to make this ride a success, and they need to introduce some of Hollywood's most gettable stars. Stars under contract to ABC. Yes. Who's got a development deal? So let's start meeting some stars.

First of all, hey, you know him, you love him. You know his name. My final answer. Yeah. Regis. Regis. Regis Philbin. I know. How's that? Can we see that at all? Is it still hard up here, over here?

Okay. I'm sorry. Well, again, we have to describe it for the people at home anyway. Regis is wearing a ribbon, like a packing present ribbon on his jacket. And he's in a building where the doorknob is a big gem. And he's flapping money around.

And that's the beginning of the ride. We're kicking off with this. Keep in mind that there is now, as of the last few weeks, a ride where a very real Hondo Inaka does movements as real as any of us are doing. as of the last few weeks, a ride where a very real Hondo Wanaka, like, does movements as real as any of us are doing. And 20 years ago, it was this. We've come a long way.

20 years ago, they just decided to stuff a Jerry Mahoney doll, the ventriloquist's puppet, and then wiggle his head around. It is so scary. I had to just do this. Let's just zoom in a couple times. All right. Here he

comes closer. Watch out one more time. Look at his lifeless dead eyes. This is scarier than Snow White's scary adventure. Holy shit. Was the flower in his lapel supposed to be a poppy, like remembering those who died in the fields of Flanders?

What? It looked like a poppy. What are you talking, what is that reference? A poppy, like around Armistice Day, people wear poppies. In England, people wear poppies to remember the war dead. Scott, do you know stuff about Armistice Day? Certainly not. It's still Veterans Day here.

Okay, so Armistice Day is Veterans Day. In Europe, they're commemorating World War I. Much more gruesome for them. Much more dead. I am not trying to make fun of you. You are smarter than me. But I have no idea. This is something people should know about.

This is real information. Yeah, people wear poppies, like, yeah. And British politicians get in trouble if they don't have a big enough poppy or something. I'm saying Regis' flower looked like a poppy. Well, let's take a look. Like a blue poppy looked like a poppy. Well, let's take a look. Like a blue poppy, but a poppy nonetheless. It's like a bow. It's a ribbon.

It looks like a koosh ball. That would have been, I mean, this is a real late 90s, early 2000s. The only thing missing is the pets.com dog and a Borders Books. Ifcom dog and a Borders Books. If they went through a Borders Books. Why, there's Rob Thomas.

If they own Borders, that would probably have happened. Back in the car. Back in the car. Back in the car. Nightmare Regis. Out of the way. In the rearview mirror. Oh, we got my favorites maybe coming up yeah so vivacious shoot yeah should we not say and see

if people know oh that's a good yeah because absolutely well the first time i saw this i had no idea uh so here they are uh if you know the answer don't say anything. But how many people know who these celebrities are? Okay. That's like 15%, I feel like. And they were a couple in real life. That's a hint in 2001. Anybody want to take a wild guess? Melanie's true.

Very good. Very good. My first guess, Robert Wagner and Vanna White. That does not look like Antonio Banderas. And you're also confused because who likes, what celebrities famously love milkshakes? We're always seen with big frosty milkshakes. I also, I have a theory, which is that this mold

for Antonio Banderas was later repurposed to make Alec Baldwin in Team America. They just like puffed the jowls with an air cannon and that was the end of that. Yeah. Team America looks better, honestly, than these weird puppet robots. Where they said to make it look a little bad.

Yeah, yeah. The next one's not much better. No, there's another good guessing game. And don't say it if you know already. But maybe even more like, ooh, the hell. Let's take a look. Sure. I'm getting there.

Mmm. Throw out a guess. Throw out a guess. Human woman. If you have them right memorized, don't say, but if you truly didn't know before tonight, throw out a guess. Vitamin C.

We're good. Vitamin C. Good. Top, like, appropriate. If you didn't hear on the podcast, Mike, so we got vitamin C. That's a good guess. Really good guess. Possibly on, like, Disney's label at the time. We don't know.

Could have been. Any other guesses? Julia Roberts. Julia Roberts, good guess. I thought we might get that and that it's some kind of, like, pretty woman reference because this is, it's a little prostituty. It's a bit judgy, Scott.

I'm sorry. I just, I don't know. She's having a good time, all that. She can dress how she wants to. A leather skirt. Yeah, hell yeah. I'm not trying to shame. Any other guesses?

Cindy Crawford? Yeah, that's it. Cindy Crawford is the guesses? Cindy Crawford? Yeah, that's it. Cindy Crawford is the answer. Cindy Crawford, yes. And your prize is nothing. Her famous mole. She's got her famous mole. It is there, yes.

And she's holding up a clam. What's up? It's like she's trying to hypnotize you with something. And she's in front of... We really haven't pointed out some of the really fun store names. Oh, hell yeah. Dollars and cents. Dollars and cents.

And it's spelled in the other way. Not in the money way, but with an S at the top. And there's a lot like that. One of those Jim Hill articles said that they weren't even going to do the celebrities. It was just going to be this shit. It was going to be plywood signs and then not, I mean, love them or hate them

and probably hate them. At least it's something to talk about. If there weren't these creepoids on this ride, you'd never remember it at all. Yeah, I'm trying to, I guess, does it make it better? Do these characters make the ride better they make them more interesting but I don't know about better mm-hmm oh can I introduce the next one and then you hit

the side oh yeah you want to say it and you'll hit the side you got it I hold your yeah wait is that way would hold a second. Is it the next celebrity? Yeah, it's the next celebrity. Okay, I hope this is right. Well, we've got it memorized. Okay, I'll know by your intro. Go. Hold your sides, everyone.

It's funny man and convicted cocaine dealer, Tim Allen. There he is. My favorite part about this, and i really should have gotten a clip of it is they play music during this part a real brief snippet of music that is a sound alike to the home improvement theme it is not the home improvement theme but it's's like, and it's just adjacent to it. I think they all, ABC obviously owns home improvement. But the composer was like,

you got to have standards, guys. I'm not giving away boop to just anybody. That would have made the ride way better. Yeah, yeah. A ride that played the home improvement theme.

Disney's most beloved piece of music probably in a little while. Yeah. Yeah. And if it was still around, they would have just changed it to the last man standing. Is that his show theme? Yeah. Yeah. Where it just flipped it and yeah. Yeah. Laughter shocks is the nightclub. Yeah. That's what is the nightclub. Yeah, oh. That's what they were going for.

Laughter Shocks, not too PC to have Tim Allen perform. We welcome every, Louie could perform at Laughter Shocks. Every day while he pleases. Just put your phones in that bag. Put your phones in the weird Ziploc bag. Zip them up, folks. We should have had you guys zip your phones in a bag before this. Yeah, put your phones in that bag. Put your phones in the weird Ziploc bag. Zip them up, folks. We should have had you guys zip your phones in a bag before this. Yeah, put your phones in the bag.

In case Jason melts down on stage tonight. We don't want that captured. Put your phones in the bag. You're going to be laughing too much. You'll drop your phone and crack the screen. You're going to be laughing too much. You'll need your hands to hold your sides, everyone. Let me take a brief second out of the celebrities.

There is a reference to character Swifty LaRue here. Right there. Oh. even at his sloppiest telly savalis never looked that bad even at his sloppiest you gotta dress right baby you gotta dress well yeah he's uh on the cover of star maker magazine if uh there may be some people here not from the Los Angeles area, and if you're looking to move here or stay here, just wait. If you're looking for an agent or something, just look for an ad

where somebody says they will make you a star. Check how many medallions he's wearing and how many hair follicles are on his open chest. If it's upwards of 60, then sign that contract.

Free assessment is what this says. This is not a good idea. I feel like in the narrative of the ride, he is legitimate. But this is not the

ad for a legitimate businessman in Los Angeles. Maybe the contract he's having you sign is that billion-year contract with Scientology. That would make... It would be a good commentary

of a ride if it all turned out to be a Scientology scam. Honestly, yeah, it makes a lot of sense. Then it's actually satire. Looking at that image reminds me, this feels like the time

to point out that this ride opened February 2001, closed January 2002, which means people likely walked off Superstar Limo and learned about the September 11th attacks.

People were like, star maker, what the fuck? And they came out, what happened? Why do we have to leave the park? Why are they closing the park for the day? What's that? Planes? That's the second most depressing thing that's happened today. All right.

Yeah, well. Let's steer out of here, Mike. Quick. That's why I wanted the phones in a little bag. Oh, no. That's just how time works. That's just how the the phones in a little bag. Oh, no. That's just how time works. That's just how the window of time happens. Don't put just that clip online, please.

It's in the podcast already. It's public. Okay, well, let's, hey, to get to something lighter, let's go to a star who we all love. He's introduced with the line, care to rumble? Hey, it's Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan. There he is.

You'd recognize him anywhere. In his famous clothes. Look at him go. He was just filming a movie where he escaped from prison. He's the only one, because everybody else so far has an ABC or Disney connection. Well, Jackie Chan definitely has. Well, that's what I found. You say it then.

No, say it, because I don't remember the exact thing. Chan sang the title song for the Chinese release of Disney's 1990 animated hit Beauty and the Beast. Yes. Jackie Chan is a trained opera singer. Yeah. Yeah. But then he provided the voice of Shang for both the Cantonese and Mandarin versions

of the studio's 1998 release, Mulan. Also, I think Beauty and the Beast is, that was not 1990, right? Or was it 91? Hmm. I believe it's 91. Oh, that's my kind of room where everybody's murmuring

a Disney release date. Yes. Love it. Hey, where does Mickey go if he needs to make a call? Yes! Yeah! Hell yeah.

All right. Thanks for indulging that one. I use the den. My dream finally realized. Okay. So, is Jackie Chan maybe a good point to start talking about the remodeling that went down? Because we sort of alluded to this. If you go to Disneyland or Disney's California Adventure today,

you get on the Monsters, Inc. Monsters, Inc. Mike and Scully to the Rescue. The titally named attraction. Scully. Did I say Scully? Mike Scully to the Rescue? Mike Scully.

Simpsons. Simpsons writer Mike Scully to, Mike Scully, to the rescue. Again, all this inside Hollywood stuff on these rides, they gotta broaden out. Yeah. Okay. Mike and Sully

to the rescue. And when you get into that ride, first of all, the ride vehicles are the same. They just painted them yellow and then they turned them into cabs. And then, the other big change,

there's a bunch of the hazmat suits. I forget the name of the characters. Thank you. Again, my kind of room. So they're all in hazmat suits and they're looking for Boo, correct? Boo, yeah. Sorry, I really... Yeah!

Love a crowd that knows how to boo. So, boo's out in the city, there's hazmat suits, and the hazmat suits, if next time you go on it, are in some pretty familiar poses. Take a look at this side by side, and you may notice a foot up in the air, like Jackie Chan, also dangling off of a wire. Yeah, and so that's how,

they needed to get this ride gone as fast as humanly possible. What can we throw in here? Monsters, Inc. ended up being the solution. They just put new suits on the guys. The other, and this one's also pretty notable. Let's take a look at Drew Carey. So, yeah, this is a regular Drew.

Okay. Who, of course, by the way, So, yeah, this is a regular Drew. Mm-hmm. Okay, and... Who, of course, by the way, selling maps to the stars' homes. Of course. Why? Why? And there he is. Now, I don't know if you guys came across this, but somebody makes a very good point online,

and I should have a source, I don't. This is not my thought, is that his head wouldn't fit under that helmet. Ah yeah. So there's a very good chance there's a headless Drew Carey under that hazmat suit. I think I know how to fix Buzzy. He's all grown up. Screw her in. Yeah, so what a fun ride. Do you have, Jason, do you have info about like, because there were some other,

they were talking about how do we get a ride in here as fast as possible? Yes, okay, so there was a couple, they were going to try do we get a ride in here as fast as possible uh yes okay so there was a couple they were going to try retheming it to goofy superstar limo where they would have repurposed statues from closed disney stores throughout the ride of like all the biggins all mickey and minnie and donald and all the big guys sort of in like 700 the other idea and this was very blue sky was turning it into miss piggy superstar limbo where the muppets would slowly the rumor is slowly be refurbishing the ride so as the weeks went on there'd be more and more muppets like with

scaffolding like you would ride through an active construction site with gradually more and more muppets going like yeah this is a piece of junk right we got to get ready for piggy like that was the dream that would have been awesome yeah that would have been good that would have been awesome. Yeah, that would have been good. That would have been great. I have some punch-ups. If we could bring it back now with today's celebrities. Oh, go ahead. Yes, if we're bringing Supercell in the back. Here's Constance Wu. Devastated to hear her show has been renewed.

Let's take a turn into the quickly Gentrifying neighborhood of Frogtown Who's that buying a sandwich Named after Ira Glass? Gadzooks It's Hollywood gadfly Josh Gad I'm a robot

Here's Robert Downey Jr. in his wheelbarrow of vitamins. There's the Capitol Records building. Who do you need? You need someone who can sing all songs. It's Meghan Trainor. And who's that in the booth next door? Why, it's all 10 members of South Korean boy band NCT 127.

Not to be confused with the original NCT, which has 21 members, or NCT U, another offshoot of NCT. The Korean music industry is weird. All that gets said and then, and the ride has come to a full stop. And it lurches forward. Yeah.

Yeah. That is who they would get. Definitely who they would get. Here's the voice of Hades, James Woods. He's lost his voice today. Oh, he's just there. He's just weaving. He can't say anything. Thank God. Get better,

James. Oh, boy. Who have we not seen? Who can we find? There's two more robots. This is where it starts to get a little condescending with the way they set out these last two stars. Yeah.

Yes, indeed. The always entertaining Cher. The always entertaining Cher. It's like what a mad uncle says about a nephew they don't like. It's entertaining. It's like what a mad uncle says about a nephew they don't like. Yeah. It's entertaining. It's always something. This is the best one.

Yeah. You know what? This is the best one. Not bad. Not bad. Not that scary. Looks like her. Great.

Yeah. The person herself is like plasticine enough that it's like enough of an analog not not so bad the last one they totally ran out of steam on hollywood favorite whoopie goldberg yeah hollywood favorite that's it hollywood favorite that's like if you came up if you came up to us after the show and said it looked like

you guys were having a lot of fun up there like that is the equivalent of that like a comment no one ever wants to hear Whoopi Goldberg

of course in February 2001 the world's most relevant movie star everyone was still reeling from the release of her

last film, 2000's More Dogs Than Bones. A film so special it was only released theatrically in Italy. True fact. I have a picture of that, but it's not in my slideshow.

Oh, damn it. Look up More Dogs Than Bones later. I can do it now. It's got Joe Mant Montagna in a different place than Whoopi Goldberg. Portly Photoshopped together. It's a beautiful piece of art. Print it out. Frame it.

There's also like a very odd self-referential theme park moment in this where you go to Beverly Hills shortly before this scene and a floating head says agents execs producers beyond

give us a sign the green light is on shoot me in the fucking face like I have never said this before

on the show this ride is straight trash like this is like the worst is that by the Leota head yeah it's supposed Is that by the Leota head? Yeah, it's supposed to be, like, the Leota head.

Do you have that? Look at that. Oh, that's... Yeah. That's the great Madame Leota reference. This is a scary... It's a weird projected head with a wig. This would have been rounded up in one of the flesh fairs in AI.

Doused with oil. Also, I read this only in one source, and I don't know how much I can believe it, but I think the voice of it was Melissa Joan Hart. Really? Yeah. Does anyone know the answer? Is that right? Really? Yes. Yeah.

Okay. Huh. All right. Her famous voice, of course. Very distinct. Having an audience is really easy because we can fact check right away. Uh-huh.

And Jason gets validation when he's talking about poppies or whatever. But he's not. Yes. Yeah, he's doing a podcast with two dummies. Yeah, I mean, they, Melissa June Hart, they had her on the hook for a lot of stuff i feel like

in the night like it'd be another now one could be like um there's elizabeth olsen reprising her role as scarlet witch a role they never finished writing the character's not really fleshed out character's not really fleshed out. Howard's not really fleshed out. Well, she will be on the Disney Plus show. Yeah. They just got those poor Marvel people forever. Yeah. You sign a... What's the bad contract

that Swifty makes you sign? The millionaire contract? The billionaire, yeah. Yeah, that's what they all signed. Uh-huh. Do you think we could get everybody here, this is what,

like 190 people and us, could we get everybody to agree to go in on one Disney Plus account? We all share that. That's the plan. Now we got value, password, Swifty.

Oh boy. The only thing watched on that one account is the Imagineering documentary series. Yeah. For sure. Yeah, for sure. Well, we've covered a lot of stuff here. I mean, we've wound our way through this ride. Yeah, let's keep the train rolling. The Malibu hillsides having fires and mudslides,

like I did not age well. Didn't age at the time well. Was that funny in 2001? For some people, it definitely wasn't. Yeah. Eisner lived in Bel Air, and Katzenberg

lived in Malibu, so let's line it up. I found on Monsters, Inc., supposedly this is a reference to Superstar Limo. There's a thing that says top 10 ways to get fired that's on a bulletin board. And number eight is post scare reports

on ain't it cruel news. Brutal, just brutal. The legacy of groans continued. Yeah. Oh, boy. It's a lot of grief. You know, I'm just, I'm feeling like, do we need to, like, kind of, like, speed this thing up or something? Do we need to, like, I, like, with that level of pun, I just, I feel like we're in, like, a weird, we're in, like, a seedy area here in our, in our limo trip.

I guess, yeah. And I feel like maybe we need to, this thing rolling so we can maybe see if Swifty's got a contract for us. Yeah. Huh. Oh, there's a hitchhiker. For anyone listening at home, there is a white outstretched hand

that seems to want to hitch a ride. From us. I mean, we do have a long limo. We have a lot of room. This thing's spacious. What are you talking about? We're not picking up a hitch a ride. From us? I mean, we do have a long limo. We have a lot of room. This thing's spacious. What are you talking about? We're not picking up a hitchhiker. It's crazy.

Come on, live a little, Michael. It's not every day you're doing a live show in a limo. Think about it like having Sprite for breakfast, you know? Living on the edge. I appreciate you doing that reference, but I still think it's a bad idea to pick up a strange hitchhiker. Huh, I guess so. I don't know.

You know what? I'm making the call for us. I may be the gunner. I'm going to bring him on. Hey, you know what? We got plenty of room. Come on board, stranger. Sing, sing.

No. No. Sing, sing. No, it can't be. No. Sing. Oh. Oh, my God. All right, all right, all right. No! No! No! God, it can't be! No! Sing! Sing! Yeah! Yeah!

I hate fresh air with Terry Gross. I think she is Terry Gross. I don't like him. Boo! I don't like him. Boo him! That was terrible. No, Tommy wants it.

You're standing under a light. I wrote this down. Damn it. Jason, help him out. We'll get it done quicker. Podcast, blah, blah, blah. I want to go to the Coco Bongo To Cha Cha I hate podcast

Oh, they love me, don't you, audience? Yeah. That's right. Tell him. Tell him. I like it. I like it. He's sucking a Tommy gun. I like to suck it. He's sucking a Tommy gun.

I like to suck the Tommy gun. Bugsy, these are people online. They said they don't like you. Here's a couple comments that actually are real. Oh, this is on Twitter. Yeah, yeah. I've heard them all. It's sick, sick. Seether says, also while I'm talking podcast,

I like podcasts right after a Batman live episode, but the Great Movie Ride episode made me drop it. I couldn't stand the stupid Bugsy Malone shtick being dragged on and on constantly. It wasn't funny to me and actually got annoying. You know what I say to that commenter? What? What?

Am spray. No! The last part of the limo has been gingerly kicked down. He tipped to the final panel. No! Am spray. You son of a bitch! There was...

T's, Q's. Q's, okay. Okay, I'm gonna Hightail Your The car here The car you made Be on the ground

All the way to Sing sing To bust out My friends Oh no Do you understand Yeah Okay so I'm hijacking

Your whole thing Alright And they love me These guys Okay They love me Is that so That's not true, right?

Well, I guess we just try to do the rest of the podcast. Should we try to just keep doing the episode, maybe, and see if this doesn't get in the way? Because we had more great facts about Superstar Limo locked and loaded, and we might never get them out now. We might not get to find out if we get that contract from Swifty. Bugsy's ruined it all.

Like the cast of the Drew Carey show begrudgingly went on this ride. What? Interesting, huh? For the Rosie O'Donnell talk show. You shut your mouth! Okay. Okay, keep going. Alright, well, uh,

oh, the merchandise. There was a little merchandise, and you could buy like a poster, but they also had- Do it quick, Mike. He's got a gun on you. They had this like little toy here and you're like, Donald would be driving on Pluto and then Mickey. So like they were in the superstar limo.

That's interesting, right? Because they weren't on the ride and they were in the merch. Yeah, that actually looks pretty fun. That's funny. Yeah. How many of these were Me Too'd, huh? How many of these? Me Too'd, huh? How many of these? You're talking about Hollywood?

I'll take you to Hollywood and Vine right now and show you the real Hollywood. Huh? What? What does that mean? None of this Mickey Mouse. Hollywood and Vine

is where the Arclight is, right? Hollywood and Vine's a wonderful place. It's a Starbucks and a 33 Taps. It's like, but it's different. Schwab's Drugstore isn't there anymore. There's no...

Alright, P's and Q's. Keep going. More factoids. We have to think of stuff interesting enough to make Bugsy not shoot us. Walt Superstar Limo was not the only limo in the history of the Disney company. Oh, this is good. For the 25th anniversary of Walt Disney World,

there was a limb mouse zine that drove around. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah, because, you know, the Disney Corporation was, uh, they own Miramax. That's what that was, right?

Well, no, no, no, no. Bring that up. They own Miramax. That's technically correct, but this is no Don't bring that up. When they had Miramax? No. They owned Miramax. That's technically correct, but this is no place to bring that up. Oh, okay. Yeah, so then- Not like the time that head of Disney, one of the head of Disney's actually was caught in that porn scandal where he was photographing pornography and they fired him.

None of that? No, none of that. None of that slander. Okay. Area. It might be publicander. Okay. Area. It might be public record. We don't know. Yeah, let me look.

I just, we have some other. Okay. We have some other slides. There's this weird thing from the ride, this weird couple. Oh, yeah. Look at these guys. What do you think?

There's a weird little, like, couple that are kind of splotchily painted and they're tiny and they're sunbathing next to a giant lock. And that's in the ride. Yeah, so that's good, right? Yeah, that's alright.

So he likes that, I guess. Guys, you know, I just felt like I got a bad rap last time, you know? Oh. Oh, okay. You know, I just felt like I got a bad rap last time, you know? Oh. Hey, wait,

everybody awe him. Awe. Yeah. You know, Bugsy Bones, formerly Bugsy Malone's, was, he was a bad guy,

but now he's, you know, he's starting to turn around a little bit. Okay. You are? You are? You know, he really believes in all of Podcast the Ride

because at the end of the day, Bugsy's happy to be here for your 100th show, you know? Oh, that's nice. Yeah. Bugsy, that's really sweet. That's genuinely sweet. And if you ever talk back to me again, I'm going to shove this up your eyes

and pull a trigger so it goes top. Oh, God. You understand that? All right, this is a tough spot. This has gone far enough. You got a sweet message turned into a very foul thing. And what we're finding is that for the second time in our first 100 episodes,

a terrible supernatural being has hijacked everything. And I can't take it anymore. We can never let this happen again. No, no, no. Is there no force anywhere in the universe that can stop this terrible scourge? Boys, boys. Is it? Could it be? Could it be?

Could it be? He has returned! Wait, wait, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, let his music play. He looks even more resplendent than he once did. That heavenly shine. He is resplendent.

It's the sector keeper, ladies and gentlemen! Yeah! For the first time in person, or in ghost, or whatever. Boys, boys, boys. You give me strength. Yeah! All right. Yes!

Yeah. You give us strength, Sector Keeper! You could tell that we needed your help, huh? No, no, no, no, no. Who's this little pipsqueak who's not minding his P's and Q's? It didn't go off this time.

It didn't go off. Eh! Eh! I thought Nick Mundy was a bad man. But you, you're a bad man. Hey. And I think if you search in your heart... No, this guy's giving me the willies.

You'll see me as I see you. Yeah, this guy's giving me the willies over here. I don't know how you see me, man, but I don't know you, Pipsqueak. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Are you... Secretary Cooper, are you saying that you somehow know Bugsy from some other avenue?

Yes. But I know him by a different name. I know him as... Brother. Brother. but I know him by a different name. I know him as Brother... Two brothers on their way Two brothers on their way Two brothers on their way One wore blue and one wore gray

Wow. A cannonball don't pay no mind. On War Gray. Wow. A cannonball don't pay no mind. You're kidding. You're kidding. Somewhere in the confines of heaven? Yes, yes. You two are related?

If you re-listen to and review with five stars all the hundred episodes, it's there. I promise. All the clues. No, no, no, no, no. Listen, I'm going to kill this little pipsqueak because he, it's a pipsqueak, that's a P, and he's not minding his Qs with the pipsqueak. I'm going to kill this little pipsqueak. You understand?

And then I'm going to kill all of you and I'm going to hightail us all to Sing Sing because I fucking, fucking... What? What did you... These are not good boy gestures happening on our stage. No.

Sector Keeper, you're gonna let this shit happen? No, I will not let this happen. This ends now. Wait. This ends today because with the power harnessed by the 19 Sector Stones... Wait, what do you got there?

I have a coin that you get for a coffee machine taped to a glove. No, no. And it's the most powerful Sector Stone. All right. I'm sorry, Bugsy. You say you got jewels? Yes. Let me suck them jewels. Suck Stone. All right. And I'm sorry, Bugsy. You say you got jewels? Yes. Let me suck them jewels.

Let me suck them. Get him out of here, Sector Keeper. You will not be sucking jewels. Let me suck. Let me suck the jewels. Bugsy, you can't. Let me suck the jewels. Let me suck them.

Let me suck on them. Let me suck on them jewels and make them feel nice. Bugsy, it's 1135. We gotta go. We're gonna get those jewels. We're gonna get kicked out of the venue

at some point. We're gonna get them jewels. Don't you understand, Bugsy? You can't kill what's already dead. Okay? That was poetic. Damn. What you have to realize

is that the power of this gauntlet, with the power of these sector stones, with one snap of my fingers, I can send you to hell until your soul is pure, much like how Thanos sent Spider-Man and his friends to hell. Until God saw that they were worthy again.

Oh, yeah. Christian God, yeah. I'm sorry, brother, but snap. It's like when we were boys. Snap. Snap. Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh, yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! I can't feel these hugs, but I can imagine. It's close to what a hug would be like. You saved us from our most villainous character of the two.

Boys. Boys, boys, you give me such strength. And I want you to remember that as you go on to your next 100 episodes, whenever you need to be lifted up, whenever you need strength, I want you to turn to the city on the hill. I want you to find strength in City Walk. And I want you to especially look for that strength there in me.

Yes, yes. We promise we will. We'll never forget. look for that strength there in me. Yes. Yes. We promise we will. We'll never forget. Of course not. Sorry, my ghost brain is forgetting. Oh, yes. All right. Especially this fall when you go on your most amazing journey yet

to the downtown Disney ordeal. God to the Downtown Disney ordeal. God. God damn it. The Downtown Disney ordeal. And none of it can be behind a paywall. What? No, no.

Okay. We didn't talk about that. It's actually, well, we'll see. Come on. We got to make a living, sector keeper. Come on. Okay, you're right, you're right. I have a job now, too.
