Forever! Dog! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Welcome to Podcast The Ride, the second gate. Today, covering a topic that resembles a live feed of our brains. I'm Scott Gardner. This is Mike Carlson. I'm here, and welcome to the twisted minds of the boys from the podcast. Well, it's twisted, but it's also as wholesome as can be.

We just got thousands and thousands of Mickeys running through them, scampering, playing. When I said twisted, I meant more like twisted like a peppermint candy cane. The twists in a candy cane. Twisted in a nice way. In a nice way. Twisted back to the way things should be. Wholesome. Wholesome.

If like gushers had a special kind of gushers that were like twisted gushers, like really all that means is maybe there's a couple of colors and it's fun. That's what I meant by twisted I didn't mean that Unless And I can't see them Putting this out But you could deconstruct it

Put a little booze in there In gushers? That's a twisted gusher Yeah There has to be a way Scientifically Doesn't there? Well yeah

You would just get a syringe And you fill it with something Tequila And you would inject The gusher with booze Yeah Because gushers are This is why you got to check your

kids halloween candy oh yeah you're right that's a very good point yeah the gusher is uh hollow am i wrong sorry to bombard you with these questions but you would know the answer i think well it's got to be hollow if it's got the juice yeah so you could i'm sure not packed to the gills with it is i don't believe it's packed to the gills because the juice would leak out more, which honestly, occasionally does happen. I haven't had Gushers in a long time, actually. But I believe there's only a little juice in there. I've had them in the last three months.

You've had Gushers in the last three months? Yeah. Okay. Do you have any recollection? Did you stop midway through? Oh, this is the kind of thing. Actually, this is a thing my son does, is like take a bite of a small candy, show me the inside,

but not with a gusher. So he's not helpful in this case. Okay. We're gonna have to get him a gusher to find out. Well, there's only a handful in every package, right? So I feel like the way I eat them. You mean there's not a hundred in every package? Well, like in every baggie.

You're saying there's not a lot. You're saying there's a ten or so. Yeah, so I'm saying as I go through the baggie, I feel like I silently, like, all right, I bit that one, now I bit that one all the way. This one I'm going to bite in half and take a look and then eat the other half. So you have taken a look. You took a look. I've taken a look.

First of all, that you have taken a look, but that's now been superseded by the fact that you have a mental process while eating a bag of Gushers. Yeah, it's fun. It's it's fun keeps it alive for you kind of a play-by-play commentary do you ever do like sort of the sommelier like you sniff the gusher and you bite into it you smell oh you put it right under your nose and then you eat the rest of it or michael i have definitely done that what What are you talking about? Oh, of course. You might detect strawberry splash. Bodacious blueberry, perhaps? Into radical raspberry?

You waft the smell with your hand. Yeah. You get it up into the nasal passages. But I think there's room in there. That's my point. I believe there's room in there. I think it's kind of hollow still, even with the liquid. And what are you waiting for?

Get yourself a syringe and start making yourself alcoholic gushers. All right. But they do sell little chocolate shaped like a Kahlua bottle or a Jack Daniels. Yes, they do that

and they got a little bit of a hit of it. I feel like every now and then like a parent would get them in like gift bags or gift baskets. Something for mom and dad.

Something for mom and dad and it's like, oh, you can't have, or you can only have a little corner. Because some of them it's like fake liquor goo and some of them

it's like a shot of alcohol. Yeah. Like a full shot of alcohol? I don't know if it's a full shot, but I feel like I've had one or two of these. just for the consistency of a chocolate shell.

I don't know what's going to hold that You don't trust the 1.5 fluid ounces fitting in that single chocolate. I just don't think it's going to hold. I think you need such a hard shell. I don't know what's going to hold that. You don't trust the 1.5 fluid ounces fitting in that single chocolate. I just don't think it's going to hold. I think you need such a hard shell. I think that's fair.

Yeah. I think you've got to eat that gusher fast, though, because maybe the alcohol will degrade the surface or whatever it's made of, the gelatin. It starts to wear it down like acid. Just melt the entire thing. Sure. Well, this is something to try

if anyone at home wants to and show us the results. Or don't. Just have a good time for yourselves. Sure. You don this is something to try if anyone at home wants to and show us the results or don't. Just have a good time for yourselves. Sure. You don't owe us anything. I agree.

Have a fun alcoholic usher night. I started watching a guy's videos on YouTube and he just tries to make wine out of different things. Like he made wine out of Mountain Dew

and he made... This is an abomination. He made... I'm going to report this guy on YouTube. Because he found out like... Offensive content. I think it to report this guy on YouTube. Because he found out. Offensive content. I think it's anything with sugar can be fermented.

So I think he's working on Dr. Pepper right now. Oh, you've got to make Gusher's wine. Jason, bathtub Gusher's wine. Come on. Don't bathe for a few weeks. All that will result is like the Homer explosion explosion it's like i don't even get the wine i just get like i damaged the glass shower door now you're renting who gives a shit come on fuck that bathtub make us gusher's wine it's made to experiment in yeah you're gonna sure

you'll lose the security deposit. What? Yeah. Now he looks like an explosion went off. His hair got blown back. But you'll make it back when you sell Gusher's wine. Oh, yeah. Yes. That all becomes profit. Breaking even, eh? Oh, mania is already overcoming us.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's perfect. Well, and with the talk of Gusher's, we're kind of in the right zone because we are talking about a very 90s Disney World event, parade, spectacular, whatever you want to call it, Mickey Mania. Resort TV with Ian Riccoboni where we sampled a nice helping of different videos that played in Disney hotel rooms showing you what there was to do and I remember sparking to like oh right Mickey Mania this thing

because just a couple things about it this was a Magic Kingdom parade from June 94 to September 96 there was a similar version in Tokyo that ran throughout 1995. And, okay, if you haven't seen this thing, maybe look at our little artwork or do a Google image. And I would say if you Google Mickey Mania, Mickey Mania parade,

see if you can find any clues that this was done in the mid-90s. Just see if there's any hint that this is a mid-90s thing besides every single thing that you see in the frame. This might be the peak of Disney's, Disney 90s. Yeah. It is the molten core, the molten gusher core of Disney and 90s colliding. And I, well, I don't want to say my feelings about it we're

gonna talk a little and then uh you know yeah not not spoil our our views but does that kind of accurately sum it up before we get into what specifically it looks like it yes it is i mean i guess this is sort of tipping well i won't i won't tip i won't say either but it's like a disney store like sprouted arms and legs and it started walking around yeah like it's so 90s disney it's unbelievable every like yeah every bumper on the disney channel every disney store came to life anything like that where yes like mickey's gloves Yes. And you go on some weird little like claymation tunnel warp or whatever. Yes. Absolutely, a thousand percent.

Yes. So, yeah, it was wild. It's a wild watch. Yeah. It's a lot of deconstructed, like, okay, granted, I watched three of these parades back to back. Like one Tokyo, two Florida. watched three of these parades back to back like one tokyo to florida that probably added to my media as i was writing some stuff down but um yeah just seeing the color scheme and the deconstructed like every little piece um bmx there's some bikes There's lots of weird bikes Yep There's a little bit of rapping

Mm-hmm And there's a little bit Yeah, we're very 90s We're very 90s Of sampling very old audio Yeah, yeah In between the new audio I found a website that listed the lyrics of the song that plays

And it is funny seeing like in parentheses Jimmy Dodd sample Is that the right name of the guy? The Jimmy, the Mouseketeer The leader of guy the jimmy the mousketeer the leader right right the the adult mousketeer all the guys are sampling all the hip-hop artists are sampling jimmy dodd yeah yeah no yeah one of the biggest there's a lot of samples of like godfather and scarface right and then jimmy dodd of course um i uh original scarface hey kids hey hey hey hey kids so the big thing that we haven't said

about this though you'll know this immediately if you look at any photo of it you'd have to describe this thing as a very intense Mickey based fever dream right it's just like and it's hard I don't think that there's like a

story to this necessarily I think it's just like and and it's hard it's hard i don't think that there's like a story to this necessarily i think it's just a big mickey themed party but visually it's just like let's put mickey into some sort of like going haywire duplication machine yeah outcome thousands upon thousands of different visual interpretations of mickey some of them grotesque yes some of them some freaks came out yes some are the fourth michael keaton in multiplicity there's some freaks this um too that you're talking about the song the song really captures a thing i don't know how to describe it but this this song, I think, is a way to do it where I was walking around the house

in between viewings of different braids. I was singing like, Mickey Mania, da-da-da-da-da-da. The like, da-da-da-da-da. That's why I thought I didn't know that Goo Goo Dolls song that had been the subject of much discussion. What do you mean? What's why you didn't think you knew?

That third Goo Goo Dolls song. Because I realized every time I heard it on the radio, I would go like... Like, I didn't know any of the lyrics. It's been more on my mind lately because of the controversy. And now I've listened to the song but I cannot retain those lyrics coming down the rush angels fall

I was doing this that what I did that's that I was started doing about Mickey Mania as I was like earworm but not a fully effective earworm yeah that's a great way to put it you get you get the gist of it right um i so basically uh um as tempted as i attempted as i am to uh talk about black balloon for 35 minutes i didn't say anything um and neither am i so we'll

sit at the table this for another time we will dizzy up the Scott some other time. When that episode's over, I won't want the world to see me. You will be like the album art of a person lying stomach down on a bed. Well, we're back to things I don't know. So imagine I still don't know everything about it. It's an iconic album cover. Poll. Do you know this album cover? Part of the poll is that you have't know everything about it. It's an iconic album cover. Poll. Do you know this album cover? Part of the poll is that you have to have looked at it.

Now that you've looked at it, do you know it? Iconic like Mickey's big yellow shoes. I brought us back. I brought us back. Thank you. I need you more than ever for this. So basically, in this parade, Mickey is deconstructed, deatomized exploded split into parts big and small there's many small mickeys there's plush mickeys there's mickeys done in every possible media i mean maybe

not literally i guess there aren't oil paintings or or clay um he's you know he's not made out of human feces but he's made out there's like i would say you know 10 to 20 different forms mickey made out of shit there's no shit mickey like crawling his way down main street or they however in whatever process uh caused this parade to happen that did come out of the machine oh Oh, yeah. And they shot it in the head before it could make it out to the public. Right, but it took a while to get it. The first one didn't work. It didn't put it down.

And it crawled a long way out. It left a lot of perfect shit stains, but in Mickey ear form. Of course, yeah. And then they shoot it in the head and the blood splatters would also form perfect Mickey ear shit. Right, right yeah, yeah. And then they'd shoot it in the head, and the blood splatters would also form perfect Mickey ear shapes.

Right, right. Oh, like the soap dispenser you can get. Oh, right. That is a thing, yes. It shoots it out. It's a little dab of soap. A little dab of soap. Yeah.

Yeah. Does there really, on any Disney property, is there, well, obviously there's like macaroni for kids in Mickey ear shape, shape i assume but is there anything that can make like long noodle strands there's got to be like a play-doh like little whatever you call it like yeah set play set that has like the mickey shape but or maybe yeah and i bet there's that but is there that for adults can i order a 45 dollar pasta that's in that long long mickey's that are an original disney type of pasta could you make pasta with just a play-doh play set if it's soft enough potentially this guy on youtube

who could make mountain dew out of uh you can make wine out of mountain dew i'm sure he could make uh pasta out of play-doh yeah well i'll tell you what you definitely could put human shit in a Play-Doh play set. Mmm. So. Thanks, Mike. Many a grizzly police scene has encountered shit shapes made in Play-Doh. Uh-oh, it's one of those again. Yeah. It's talking about normal stuff, like Scott's grotesque long-hitted Mickey pasta. But I, is that basically, it's like it's it's mickey iconography just like physicalized into like five maybe parade floats and then like mini kind of like i don't know the parade terminology

but there's like little parade breakers essentially like not quite but something that a bunch of people hold and just amidst all of this there's there's thousands upon thousands of mickey it's a living mickey nightmare but also at the very end there's a big float and tucks and tails mickey is riding a top oh yes you still get yeah you real mickey yeah primary mickey who's who is a sorry to keep you talking about this but a pig and shit yeah he was like imagine being him yeah yeah after all this is transpired he's made upon horrors and horrors as he stands on top of simulations of all his past selves like steamboat willie and like uh regular uh shirtless mickey shirtless shirtless mickey um yeah jack micky beefcake mickey yeah

this feels like like in a cartoon like mickey would make someone like let's say peter mortimer mad what's a what's the one with the big pants that tall mouse that hits on mini in the early days for you fresh boy fresh boy go soak your head fresh boy is it mortimer or is it let's say it's mortimer but like you would if it was a cartoon of mortimer was really upset with mickey this is what he would see in his like nightmare was cursing mickey out he's like so upset with him and now all he can see is mickey everything is mickey different versions and like it's just infecting his brain thousand percent it's almost like the kind of thing would happen more likely with like a chip and dale like yeah like characters who are pests more often like donald would see this like uh or or you know what it's very pink elephants on parade yes uh or heffalumps and

the character has a fear and then this manifests in this bizarre nightmare where it's where the characters represented and the villains represented all these but in where the character's represented and the villain's represented and all these. But in this case, it's Mickey, the hero of the company. Like, did it occur to them at any point that they are using methodology usually reserved for nightmares but meant to be a fun 90s hip-hop BMX party? I don't think, I mean, I don't think so.

Maybe there was somebody like a lower tier Imagineer that was like, uh, hey, this is like, this is too much. There's too much Mickey here.

the song, uh, two, doesn't really change. Like, I feel like there's discussion about like, oh,

Small World, yeah, they, oh, they play that for people that are trying to you know in prison or get confessions out of but small world has a lot of it's tour or people just casually saying like oh it's torture i ride so long that but that song changes a lot this song doesn't

really mickey mania song does not change for like 12 minutes you change genres nationality yeah this is the kind of the um yeah i know because we're watching videos where the parade does fully move through it's not like it suddenly it's not like uh uh baroque codown mainstream electrical parade kind of like hits all right now we're in like the waltz part or whatever yes this is just the same thing over and over uh should we get a hit of this song yeah yeah and then in the course of doing this we could call out some of the things we see uh i don't think there's any particular order we need to go in other than maybe saving the the the most uh uh maybe scarring imagery yeah for building to that sure uh but here

uh here's a little touch of oh wait and this, and this song is called Rock the House with the Mouse. There's two songs in it, at least maybe, yeah, I think you end up with a second song at some point, but this is Rock the House with the Mouse. just to break it up a little bit now you're you're hearing some sound that's not anybody's alarm going off while i play this there is a there's a motif of clocks yeah time in this common uh motif of nightmares as well oh yes yeah yeah where you might get shaken out of one or you might like have to adopt the alarm clock sound into your dream yeah it's like a practical part of it. In this case, there's big Mickey clocks. That's an aspect of that.

You watch a giant Mickey watch go by. Those were kind of big around this time. Right, yeah. Or even like in a day. Maybe I'm wrong. I feel like at least this is what they were trying to convey to a crowd going to Disney World. It's like, you know, you can be an adult and own a fancy leather strap Mickeykey mouse watch yeah i had a fancy leather strap goofy watch wow backwards it went back it's it was a silly one it was a silly watch i think i still have it it doesn't i'd have to get it fixed

but yeah did it work did was it like you would see an eight but the eight was on the wrong side or was it literally the wrong time i think it was just i think it was like the six was over here okay or no i guess no i guess the nine was it was like the six was over here. Okay. Or, no, I guess, no, I guess the nine was over here and the three was over here. That's really confusing. Yeah, difficult. I think it was just the wrong.

You were learning to tell time. Yeah, well, that's why I put me back five years. I failed a grade. You still, yeah, I do see you looking at clocks and then kind of like pointing and then having to flip your arms.

Right. Like, wait, okay. And then I got tangled, like I got my arms tangled in my legs like Goofy would, trying to tell time. It'll still happen to me from time to time. We're going to do the test that they say to do to like geriatric presidential candidates.

Oh, I'm going to have to draw a clock. You're going to have to draw a clock. Yeah, good luck getting me to draw a clock. I ain't putting myself on record with that. I'm going to get held back again from something. I don't know what, but I'll get held back. You'll be allowed to operate a clock i ain't putting myself on a record with that i'm gonna get held back again from something i don't know what but i'll be allowed to operate a podcast anymore it's funny that you say that jace it's such a how insane is it that now it's like you know when the presidential candidates are so geriatric that we're concerned you know that new thing in

the last six years yeah years that will probably keep being a pattern. Also, they refuse to draw the clocks. Neither of them will draw. They will not draw the clocks. Good for them. It shows strength. Don't get bullied. I'm trying to find the part where it gets into like, can't get enough, can't... Wow, clocks are even more a part of it than I remembered watching it at first.

The beat is all... I feel like I try to do a good job of like explaining this succinctly but now i've been thrown for i said a bunch of stuff here's the premise of the parade and now i gotta go and also clocks i don't know what i don't know how to incorporate that this is you know look there's you know clocks have been incorporated in you know pop songs for years and they're kind of a weird like a trippy little thing to have in there because you can kind of move in and out of like just the regular rhythm of a song with the actual tick tock of a clock so this is kind of more of an experimental thing for a disney parade in a way compared to the average disney song it's it's samples yeah i think they i think there is an

understanding of of 90s hip-hop production even if it's all to kind of an annoying end i don't think that they're so far off the mark yeah i actually think as i was comparing this to something we talked about on the show a couple years ago mickey unwrapped the album oh right where uh the the centerpiece is a tag team uh team up of of whoop there it went and this is a pretty embarrassing attempt to merge disney and hip-hop mainly because mickey's rapping uh and this they leave i don't know they leave the rap to if not the professionals then uh people who aren't as annoying as mickey mouse yeah so that gets you somewhere and mickey is present just in the samples and in the samples of the 50s Mickey Mouse Club theme song.

Yeah. But it's, you know, better than Mickey Unwrapped, right? Yes, it is. Yeah. It is. I don't know if it's the most successful like big parade crowd pleaser song. Mm-hmm. But there are like, you're like, oh, it's more interesting arrangement than normal.

You know what? It is before, however however some of these like sweeping you know the ones that make you emotional in japan they haven't built oh yeah yeah probably parades around this time or more just like either its greatest hits uh classic disney song we had maybe we haven't entered the era of the song that moves you that you can only hear in the parade yes that might be right i wonder when that starts i'm it's interesting um but yeah no still like nothing nothing touches the cool factor of baroque hoedown but you know okay i don't know if i call it a cool factor for exactly but compared to

everything else though um you mean like every like all other parks all the other like parks music parade music yeah maybe yeah i don't know cool is just not the word i like it yeah okay no um what i i i feel like let me use this thin excuse to play this song because it did remind me of it as a mildly successful mashup of 90s hip-hop and disney um something i'm very fond of is the end credits music towards the well they did it for i think all the seasons of the mickey mouse club but when we get into the later mmc era the song that played at the end of every show which would go for sometimes depending on how much time they had to kill in the episode two full minutes where the entire cast of like 22 cast members and then the whole audience comes out and just they just dance while credits play for a long time and maybe just compare contrast you've

heard mickey mania uh do you do you know this song offhand did you watch enough of this show i don't know necessarily i don't i think i know what you're saying but i don't know i don't know it off the top of my head so you know old mickey mouse club it's why because we like you m-o-e and they still do that there's still that but then they get to the e and things get a little more funky the audience rushes the stage you're allowed go this is pretty good actually audience rushes the stage. They all rush the stage. You're allowed. Go. This is pretty good, actually. I have genuinely a stressful day, a stressful week. Aaron and I have I genuinely That is good actually

I like that A stressful day A stressful week Aaron and I have like You know Open a bottle of wine Let's watch videos we like We will sometimes land it

MMC's got it going on Funky style Got it going on In a funky style Like it's Yeah yeah It's so effervescent It's so

It's cheesy But man They're having So much fun. Yeah. I wonder how many different songs in the history of the Disney company have been a play on the Mickey Mouse Club theme. Because there's a song from the now, I guess they did their last performance of Mickey's Mix Magic, which is the thing they do on Main Street with no fireworks, just kind of a light show.

And the song, of course, I've described before as a cooler Disney song, but it's come on everybody, get your ears on. But in the lead up to the chorus, they do go M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E. So like how many times has this been, like a version of this been made or sampled or whatever? Somebody in the company has got to be saying like,

think about it, that's saying all these letters, that's rapping. We were doing rapping in the 50s before anybody. That's like B-I-G-P-O-P-P-A. Well, before that, there was M-I-C-K-E-Y. So let's take our birthright as the inventors of hip-hop right it's the walt disney company and let's own that area can't argue with that so i wonder i wonder if anyone knows that is a very they do it a lot is my feeling but maybe maybe we just listed the three times

they did i don't know i don't think i think it's a lot i think you're a i think you're onto something there's been a lot of versions of just yeah either little samples or references or just new version updated versions for the era in which it was created it's not the one it's not what will smith did in that one special that was zippity doo-dah you're right right right tracking i think it's important that we track all the the kind of unironic attempts at Disney rap. Oh, yeah. But this one, hey, you know, I don't mind it. I think where you get a little bit dicier than the music itself is what happens at the beginning, which before the song plays.

Did you guys happen to see or did you hear this bit of dialogue? There is a little scene, essentially, that starts the thing. You didn't think that was a fresh MC? You didn't think that was really fresh? Oh, I'm not saying it's not fresh. I don't know. Plenty fresh. Hella fresh.

But it's an interesting little bit of dialogue. Let me see if I can track this down. Okay, so there's two versions of this. One involves Roger Rabbit, and here is this. As according to the script, woman rapper. Yo there, listen up all you rad dudes. Walt's house is rocking with the mania that's hit the street with the brand new beat. Gar sounds like a party.

Maybe I should make a cake. Let me try to do Roger Rabbit. Jeep is goofy. It's not that kind of party. It's a def jam. And we're invited to groove with the rest of the gang. That's pretty good. That's right, Roger.

My main man, Mickey Mouse, is busting fresh out of sight. He wants you all to chill hard and bump the bump while the mania cruiser moves mickey mania is taking control then a sample of mickey saying oh boy oh oh oh boy wow that was fun yeah listen up all you rad dudes um and then roger abbott's saying it's a def jam it's a def jam this is def jam records is big and culturally relevant has been for a while and now roger rabbits roger roger is saying it on main street or saying it in a disney park a reference that is enough b boys and b girls that is it is such a did they have how many people had this did this reference have to be explained to in management like no no this is a current thing and that's why roger's referencing it right yeah roy disney's right meeting and like uh

well first of all i think you misspelled death and secondly i don't know why we're saying death in a in a parade don't you think that's gonna bring people down yes for sure uh eisner of course had to approve it they'd explain it to him i mean unless he's really was really with it he knew everything about it like roy let me take you through it uh hip-hop is the sound of the streets. There's a purposeful shortening of words, a reappropriation of them. Taking old records and sampling and the scratching is on purpose. That's not a mistake.

With my kids, Breck has caught me up. We are naming... Breck's very big on the Ghetto Boys. He's taught me everything. Ghetto is spelled on purpose. Breck is extra fresh. Breck is extra fresh we're naming another entertainment company but we tried fitting the phrase hollywood records in

there and it just didn't sound right uh so it is i yeah there's that's the most it's always funny when disney takes a chance on being culturally relevant. God bless them. It's really funny. There's a few you got to back up to there. Walt's house is rocking. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Walt's house. Walt's house is rocking. We're rocking the house.

The Homie Hills house? Or the Burbank lot? The Palm Springs house? The Palm Springs? Yeah, the ranch? The smoke tree? Which house are we talking about here? We rocking the smoke tree lodge?

The one with the train in the backyard? The one by the grocery store in Los Feliz? The one by the grease high school in Los Feliz, California? You're going to have to be more specific. Surely they can't all be rocking with the mania that's at the street. I guess Walt's house is the Magic Kingdom, I suppose. I think that's what they're getting at. Yeah, yeah.

How do you do like the, I don't think this was going at the time, but the Izzle, Walt Dizzle. Oh, yeah. Walt Dizzle. Is it just Dizzle? Maybe it's Dizzle, I guess. Would you add the Walt Dizzle knee? I think it's just Dizzle. I think it's Dizzle.

What are the rules of the Dizzle language? Yeah, I don't know. That's a good question Because the Disney company will dazzle Hello I'm Michael Is Eisner President of the Walt Dizzle Oh is there ever one where he's rapping?

President of the Walt Dizzle company Was there ever one where he rapped? Man I don't think so Oh man Because we'd know it We'd know it And if we didn't know it

and it suddenly popped up on somebody's YouTube channel we would have been sent it 30 times on that day. You would think so. Yeah. You better. Please do. If there's anything with Michael Eisner rapping out there and we're not aware of it, please

write this wrong. And if not, let's see if we can get him to rap. Even if it's about baseball cards. Is he on Cameo? Is Michael Eisner on Cameo? Can we get him to rap something? Great question. Does he need like 100 bucks for a personal greeting?

For a mere $100,000, I'll give you 30 seconds. Sure, I will rap for $600,000. Gotta make that money. Gotta stack that cash, yo. Eisner was more like Scarface, honestly. There's a lot of young hip-hop guys that love Eisner. They reference him in all their songs. Yeah, there's got to be some hello

samples in there. So this was redone then and theoretically because the presence of Roger Rabbit was decreased in the parks due to the Amblin relationship fraying um and which which makes it on some websites kind of oddly said like they had to switch it from

roger rabbit to goofy son max to not upset steven spielberg or like to to prevent a problem with steven spielberg yeah i read that phrase too on the fandom page for this parade after i dismissed about three different uh ads like three different pop-up ads yeah that's it yeah um just a few more rounds of layoffs and a few more pop-ups and you'll be okay fandom you'll be a solvent website we believe in you there's a lot of weeds in that garden yeah you got a lot of whacking to do if you go to fandom.com yeah but um so max max is in hey i think they picked the right hey you know what goof troop completely the vibe of yes yeah with the theme song as well yeah yeah i just learned that the guy who sings the goof troop theme song is a guy named phil perry who is the

singer on so many 80s 90s smooth jazz songs oh really and i never put the connection together there's so many things like that where i'm like why do i love this music and i love these disney theme songs same fucking people wow singer of toto singer of gummy bears yeah right on of the same horn players on ducktales as play on King of Wishful Thinking, everything I like. Yeah. Shout out to Phil Perry. I just did a full hour-long Lukather interview last night while I was doing stuff together.

Which one? Sunset Sound? No, it was Rick. What's Rick's name? Rick Beto. Rick Beto, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm getting a lot of Rick Beto.

Yeah. I do a lot of Rick these days. Rick pops up a lot. Everyone seems to respect rick also yeah i don't know from what i don't know who he is but uh you know puts a good interview together you get a you get an aging rocker talking about how like yeah that was how it was man we just sat down we didn't even have the track we had to sit down and figure it out by take two yeah you get a lot of like and quincy called q called us into the studio man and like he was like man this is too

metal like this when you're playing on beat it it's too metal but this needs to be on pop or r&b radio man this is not this too much and so i had to get back in there i knew what he meant and i like my ears i like my ears i also like what lucas is doing with the hair and the beard well he's going gray finally he's letting it go i think there might be might be doing something to you mike but i think he's doing something there's He's letting it go. I think there might be, might be doing something to... Maybe let that be a lesson to you, Mike. But I think he's doing something. There's a different, like, it looks too cool. The gray looks kind of like stylized gray, and I don't know if it's his natural gray.

I think it looks good, though. I think it's a dyed gray. It might be a dyed gray. I don't know. Huh. Could it just be, like, you know, vitamin E and fish oil? Or could it be supplements? It could be. Rick Beato, whatever his last name is,

he should ask him about that. It's amazing that the old rock star interviews on YouTube aren't just all about supplements. Oh, yeah. And like, you know, like colon health.

Uh-huh. You know that's what they talk about every second before and after the record. Of course. What do you drink at the start of the day, my man? You dump a collagen water?

You doing the athletic greens? What are you doing? How is it that our show here in late 30s, early 40s is the one that has more talk about like dribbling when you pee now? How is that us

and not Rick Bito? We're more confessional, you know. This is more into a look into our lives. It's raw. Yeah, it's unplugged. It's more twisted in a lot look into our lives yeah raw look inside our pants that are dribbly dicks sure i'm not gonna put myself in i have no problem no scott's very much that he's never dribbled in his life i jason and i are dribbling constantly i mean yeah what's going on with mike i got some health stuff going on that's understandable the doctor

said it's a little bit it's fine the normal a little bit he showed me on a diagram how it's normal you've talked to it you talked to a doctor about this of course just want to make sure he goes oh yeah yeah yeah it's all he goes and he showed me like that the p has to go the p has to go over a certain part of like your anatomy to get to the uh you know the hole to get out so he was just like yeah like you see like some of it gets kind of like trapped up here like it's normal to have like a little bit you know i'd honestly i'd be more concerned about somebody your age who doesn't dribble actually the dribble is more healthy that far if you're ever talking to a friend of yours who claims that he doesn't dribble i get him in to see me

soon because we got to scrape that entire urethra out. He did say that. This is what the listeners demand. We're back to what they're begging for. We've gotten to the blood flow talk. E3's blood flow is age. In your penis? Well, everywhere.

I just only started reading about it, so I can't speak as an expert. I don't know nothing about any of that. We don't want to bog us down people will give us nice compliments sometimes and you know if we post a dry topic or say we want to talk about a dry things people will say like you know what that's okay i'd listen to the boys talk about paint dry yeah they can that's a nice thing to see uh however listeners i would caution you, I'm not so sure. Well, everyone. When the blood health episode comes out. Yeah, blood health, urological health.

You don't think about these things, you know, but it's good. It mostly comes back to drinking lots of water like you're doing. As I'm doing right now, yes. I got water too. And we all have got big waters. I think I'd rather do The hydration episode The how you hydrate Episode

Than Waylon Flowers And Madam I think I would more I would rather hear About all of your Bowel health Than

I I would Be happy to talk About my bowel health In general But I will also say That every day

A new little piece Of Wayland Flowers and Madam gets entered into my brain and makes me want to discuss it with people more.

This is what you should be discussing with your doctor. This is the biggest problem to your health and therefore mine. Yeah. You should talk

to someone about eating all those Madam Puppets slowly getting in you. That can be good for your digestion. Well, that's true. Micro madam puppets. Micro.

From thrown away madam. Yeah, it's penetrating my blood-brain barrier. That's for sure. That's all I know is that I have too much madam. I have too much madam on the brain and in the gut. My microbiome has too much madam. We scraped your stomach and found little pieces of pink feather boa.

Enough of that grotesquerie. Let's get out of here. Back to these Mickey ones. There is a, yeah, this is cultural grotesquerie. So, Roger Abbott's out. New dialogue with Goofy and his son Max, who is cool, as we know from Goofy and his son Max Who is cool as we know

Max is cool yes Garsh mask Sounds like a party Do you think I ought to bring some punch They change that Max response Aw dad you're such a narfo It's a def jam and we're all gonna groove

With the rest of the gang Aw dad you're such a narfa. Narfa. What is that even coming from? It sounds like a 90s insult. I think that it's one of those kinds of things. Now, I don't remember that. This is something that is very much in Kyle Mooney's wheelhouse, something he did on our

show, Smash A Lot. It's like some slang that completely sounds like it would have been like something the kid with attitude would have said yeah and i think that's what we're dealing with here i don't think there's a narfo in the world no it sound like you know you could unless this is a missed unless this is the the guy on this website was supposed to be no it wouldn't have been narc goofy wants to party narc wouldn't have been narf no Narf? No. Narfo, I think, is a made up. Narf is like Pinky and the Brain. Yes, right.

Pinky says Narf. Yeah. Well, that's confusing. He says Narf, but he doesn't say Narfo. He doesn't say Narfo. So maybe somebody wrote Narf. Narfo. Narfo is a zuzzy zazz.

It's a like, well, no one in the office actually knows what one of the cool words. And nobody could text at this time, so you couldn't check in with your niece to see what cool kids are saying. Like, well, no one in the office actually knows what one of the cool words, and nobody could text at this time, so you couldn't check in with your niece to see what cool kids are saying. So you just had to go off the dome and make up something like Narfo. You Google Narfo, I don't find anything. I find an organization which is the National Association of Responsible Firearm Owners. Oh, wow.

Which, you know what? And that appears to maybe be in New Zealand. I was going to say, it doesn't sound like something we have in America. I was going to say, that's not right. That can't be a big group. That's nothing you'd be proud of. There's a different group that has a different,

smaller amount of letters. Yeah, it's the group whose motto is, hey, come here, you want to look in this drawer? You know, those PSA cards. Sure. You want to look in this drawer? You know, those PSA cards. Sure. You want to see something cool? So, yeah, I think Disney made up a phrase, and I encourage you at home to try it out.

You know, call a loved one. Well, no, don't. No, don't. It's an insult. It's like calling your parents lame, I guess. Lame. Narfo means lame. Something I could do. I could, you know, because you sort of have control. We have young children. it's like your parent calling your parents lame i guess lame narfo means lame something i could

do i could you know because you sort of have control we have we have young children they parrot our language i could convince my son that narfo is something that you could call i would love if he started saying narfo oh that'd be great yeah you're a narfo yeah just i'm yeah i'm gonna try to steer him away from the insults he's been using that's what you're thinking and i'm gonna change it into this more fun one. Yeah, one that can't hurt me because it doesn't actually mean anything. Right. It's not real.

Yeah. We can start selling some t-shirts. Like Frankie says, relax. Those shirts were huge. We can sell Don't Be a Narfo. It's a major 90s throwback. Boy, remember when you'd get home, you'd open up your pack of Gushers. If your mom said, you have to have broccoli instead, you'd say, mom, you're such a Narfo.

Yeah. This was part of being a 90s kid. I guess we just remember what it was like. Yeah, we remember. We remember every day for many hours. What kind of kid were you in the 90s? A totally rad dude or a total Narfo? I think we were all closer to being narfos.

Yeah, we were definitely narfos. Some of the youngest narfos around. Yeah, luckily we've grown out of that. What if we're such narfos that we don't even know that narfo was a word? It's possible. It was something the cool kids were saying and the listeners are all going,

they don't even know narfo. It's possible. They're talking about their dribble dicks and they didn't even know that all cool kids said Narfo. It was something they said on Single Out. They probably weren't allowed to watch it. Everyone who listens to this podcast hasn't told us they listen because they want to make fun of us.

Seems like a few do. Well, a few do. Statistically. Fair enough. A few people do want to make fun of us and they vocalize it. Uh-huh. But everyone does actually and they don't say it.

So I appreciate them being quiet about it. It's being a listener bully. Yes. Right. Which is, thank God that there's a big gap between us and them unless they come to a live show to beat us up. Right. Don't do that.

We're making a big leap when we do these things and we talk to people after that there's not someday there's gonna be the one who's like i've waited six years for this sock uh-huh so living with the land you're living with the land fan i don't know uh let's see if it was wait zach rider is on my side wasn't he yes he was yes all right yeah no i think i'm he's on your side but matt cardona's fury his alter ego yeah i don't think anyone's tried to beat him up though for living with the land uh yeah yeah well that's what i'll just you know i'll let's let's just have him at any future if possible all right um so anyways uh that that gets us into the parade. We've got cool songs. We've got an ARFO talk. Now I think it's time to just throw out as many details as we can about the things that occur in this parade. Yeah.

Just call it like you see it. There's a lot of rollerblading. Pluto is on a skateboard. And some of it is like the parade extras and they got backwards caps and they're rollerblading. But it will also be like, I don't, I can't, you know, like the witch from Snow White or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like that's one. But you know what I mean?

Just a random Disney, yeah. Yeah, yeah. They're rollerblades. Yeah. Well, I got one. I got a picture I took. I was watching it on a TV. I took that.

This is Alice, Wendy, and Peter Pan. I think Pinocchio's off-screen on large adult tricycles? Like, I don't know what to call it. Three-wheel bikes? Air trikes? Yeah. They're, you know, they have elaborate costumes on, so you probably

don't want those caught in a standard bike. You probably don't want them trying to balance in a face character costume. So the three wheels is probably easier to manage. Yeah, maybe. That's tough work that you got a Geppetto head on, Smee's back there. Yeah. You got to dress as Smee and ride a trike around.

Seems hard. Yeah, yeah. I'm more impressed by that in a way than the actual bmx stunts because there is one of the and this i don't remember if i like sat and watched this parade but i remember the existence of it at this time and that there was a float with a slide and yes a bike rant that kind of like did a couple little little humps and then you but and good you could go flying off them and that's cool yeah but those guys don't have smee heads on no right there should be a smee version of this parade smee madness i'm smee mania there there's everyone's heads captain o could be so mad summer

of smee that's not the natural order of things i have to die for speed. You remember the summer of 95 when the big six were Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto, goofy, and Smith. I remember.

Summer is me. Summer is me. I don't know what he sounds like. He's kind of wimpy. Like, yeah, I don't know about that, sir.

Uh, does he, uh, I was going to say this slides float i didn't see this live as a 90s kid but this this would have really gone holy shit there's a slide on the parade road wow and they make the like push donald duck down it yeah he has to like slowly that kind of slide because it's like a spiral slide metal spiral slide metallic this is something my dad says every time we're at a playground with my son it's like boy don't you miss the the hot hot metal oh yeah you go past the bread you'd like get caught on like the you know where the

parts where they connect and screws and um and it is funny that was more the case that they didn't make that playgrounds weren't very kid friendly until about 20 years ago. Yeah. But yeah, you can just imagine, you know, because you've been on slides like that maybe as an adult and like, boy, the slow scrape that you do. So imagine being your Donald and then just like skunk skunk skunk, just moving three inches at a time kind of painfully. That's not an easy slide. Yeah. For Donald.

Seat gets caught. There's there's some more stationary there's the float um with goofy on a bmx bike that is attached to the float and it's attached it's doing a wheelie but he doesn't really he just moves the handlebars sometimes and mostly waves and kind of dances standing on the bike. It's a perma wheelie. It almost seems like he's powering it himself with the pedaling. I'm not sure if that's what they're trying to convey, but you feel that way a little bit. Also, by the way, style-wise, okay,

so I've said that there's like thousands of Mickey shapes, but also while it is a, just insane mess of color, there is a ton of Mickey's primaries, right? Yes. It's Mickey's red from his pants, Mickey's yellow from his- Yeah. His little red shorts. I'm sorry, shorts. And I should say little too.

Little red shorts. Yellow from his buttons. His shoes. Right, shoes. Shoes and buttons, right? Or are they white buttons? And then black. From his flesh.

His fur flesh. His fur flesh, yeah. From his hair. And it is overwhelming, this amount of red and black. It's a real choice. I would put this whole parade in the vibe, a vibe that I love. I would consider this an example of factory pomo, which I'm sure I've talked about on the show at some point.

But it's this kind of, it's hard to explain. You know it when you see it. It's like a lot of circular logos and gears are part of it. And I think clocks are related to gears. Right. logos and gears are part of it and i think clocks are related to gears right and there's a little bit of art deco and big blocky fonts and limited color palettes which is what this is and hard contrast and a lot of like basic shapes squares circles wreck i was wait squares circles triangles and then a lot of zigzags yeah disney actually did a lot of factory pomo uh like the you'd basically you'd see this

besides disney you'd see this like that snl logo in the 90s where it's round yes there's the little crosses between every word uh a lot of cd-rom covers a lot of food court logos but also this is definitely very factory pomo tomorrowland 94 has a lot of examples of it my favorite very art deco yeah yeah um interventions i think is because you see that logo like round oh yeah like on something shiny like a cd um it's a type of 90s that i don't think is exploited enough i think i agree fascinating and it's something i like because of the 90 because of being a child in the 90s but i don't i some of it I guess I like if I think about it. I guess I like the interventions, but it feels...

It's like tackier. It's tacky. Yeah. I guess I don't want it everywhere. There's a time and a place for Factory Pomo, but that's another... If you do a Google image of that and then just kind of like soak up, just like get yourself a hit of Factory Pomo. I think it'll make you happy.

Here's a food court. Here's a good food court one. Oh, yes. I've seen that one. Yeah, yeah. Any sign like that with like little like shish kebabs. Oh, Beekman's World logo. Beekman's World logo comes up.

A lot of 90s basketball team logo. Like if they did a 90s remake, like Phoenix Suns, it looks like they had a Factory Pomo. It's good. I like a lot of this. I can tell this is a modern reinterpretation, but I'll call this like Trapper Keeper Chic. Totally.

This type of early CG. Oh, yeah, yeah, of course. Basic CG. The main Tomorrowland sign, which is gone now, but the one, you know, like on the big... With the gears behind it yeah like the weird gear thing yeah somewhere in our

Tomorrowland expiry we should just like fully tribute Tomorrowland 95 let's try to carve out some space oh yeah yeah just to gush to bring up a word from this episode yeah we'll all be gushers when we talk about that beautiful incredible Hulk lights purples and greens yeah very episode yeah we'll all be gushers when we talk about that beautiful incredible hulk lights purples and greens yeah yeah very cool very soothing so anyway on that's on the cooler end

of this on the less on the weirder end is like when mini is well there's too many but when in japan mickey's or mini is uh uh wearing like a head wrap or something. Yeah. She kind of looks, I thought she looked kind of like Queen Latifah. Oh, yeah. Okay. I could see that. And then, but in America, she had a very different vibe, which is that here's her two ears and then between them on the top of her head is a big bun and the bun is black like Mickey's flesh and Minnie's flesh and minnie's flesh um and so it's very disconcerting

to see two big ears and then an even bigger like hump like she got hit on the head it looks like a cartoon yeah the cartoon character getting hit on the head but without the little bald part right it looks like minnie has a massive massive tumor it's really i don't think it looks like a hair at all yeah i know what you're saying why didn't they just like give her like like blonde hair it's like she dyed it or something maybe that would have helped yeah like they're going for madonna a little bit with this but maybe they didn't want to go too far like i guess because like can mini grow her fur out that's a question i have does yeah does the top of her hair um i mean i don't know her situation follically in general however theoretically yeah you you couldn't you grow a

like a full a a human can a mouse do from the top of your head and it's just a matter of of taking the time growing it out and then shaping it has mickey ever had like a mullet in anything has that's a good question mini ever had like shoulder length fur because they because mice don't have hair they have fur but i don't think it would be a fur cut the first style i think she has to have a wig this has to be a wig she wanted a black wig that looks like a bun and she stuck it in between her two ears where they're going so logically that like well no if minnie grew her hair out it would be black that's what it's fur so if she were to make a bun it was it'd be black there is in in the plain

crazy mickey like messes his hair up that's true he does have a little bit of messy growth there. Like black hair. Flesh hair. Okay, you're right. He does have flesh hair. Both of them could like get really shaggy like a dog. And like shake it.

Yeah, because yeah, like a short-haired dog, yeah, you can get a little of the fur to stick up. But not enough for a bun. We are deconstructing the characters

much in the same way this parade parade deconstructs mickey it gets them down to the elements i mean that's a good thing to bring up that there is a one of the more notable parts i think is that you will at some point see just his gloves walking around with little legs and then. And then just his hat. Yeah. Just a mouseier hat. Right. And then the shoes being driven around like they're the little bugs in the Main Street

Electric Office. So there's a part of a big stretch of this where it's just, it's Mickey's body parts. It's a big shoe. Giant and split apart. A big shoe car. Yeah. You see a person driving it in the foothold. I, this struck me when i was

watching it i was like oh my god the shoes are being driven but the gloves are inflatable i think i'd like the inflatable gloves what do you mean like i think the the fingers of the hand are natural to be like the walking legs you would like performing as the gloves no no i just like like oh that makes sense being a big inflatable parade piece i see the drivable shoes i had to think about longer because there's people sticking out of them yeah and they have little hats on kind of they gotta see but they're not like walking up and down like a shoe you're saying it's not as a good of a representation of what actually the hand well neither the hand because the hands are walking with little human legs but they're

walking like cousin it would walk oh i guess so using its fingers cartoons yeah the hand or a glove turned into like a walking around cousin it kind of thing. A shoe wouldn't glide across. If a shoe came to life, it would not glide across the ground. It would probably be jumping. It would like, you know, heel, toe, heel, toe. I see you're right. It is the finger.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh-huh. Taking a little. So you would need it to at least, they should have built in something like the Indiana Jones ride that made it kind of go up and down, up and down. Yeah. As it drove around Main Street. And the more we talk about this, the more horrifying it becomes. Yeah, yeah, I know.

Yeah. Accurate footsteps seem scary to me. The whole thing does just like, I mean, what I flash to is a version of this where it was all laid out one day by Mickey in some crazed energy burst. Yeah. I got a vision. Bear with me. Thanks all for coming in on no notice. Thanks for coming in on a Saturday morning.

Yeah, 11 p.m. on Saturday. I know it's a three-day weekend. Inspiration strikes. You got to be here. I got you all on call like Prince. If I call 3 a.m., you got to come. So, all right, go with me. All right, my body is huge.

Split up, hands chopped off, feet chopped off. They're giant. They fill up all of Main Street. And then behind that, 2,000 bees. If I'm the star and you break me up into component pieces, you just get more stars. Stars in the sky. Here.

Help everybody. You'll find a plush of me under each of your chairs, and you'll find a machete. I want you to chop me up right now and imagine what it looks like if I'm flying down Main Street piece by piece. And no bad ideas. I won't be insulted. We're in the blue sky phase. Then they do it.

No, not the face. Never the face. Don't cut this face. The company is built on sky face. Then they do it. No, not the face! Never the face! Don't cut this face! The company is built on this face, damn it! That mic! Oh, you sick, oh, you sick rake! Get out of here! Mickey, we've mocked up your giant tongue.

We're going to drag it. We're going to have ten people drag your giant tongue down Main Street, and it's going to be wet. Oh, I like this. Okay, that's pretty good. Interesting, interesting. Well, let's run it, let's rehearsearse it as long as no children vomit when they see it we'll send it out it's gonna well mickey they all vomited oh god damn it someone get cronenberg on

the phone i'm sorry to him it's also like one of the like hackle ticket anything It also feels like When if he was Planning this out You get Like your Your project lead on this And you get a call from Mickey At 5 a.m.

5 a.m. 3 a.m. Oh yeah you know Those punching bags With the sand on the bottom And they pop back up When you punch them I want 50 of those

I want to see them tomorrow Okay Is that what that is I was trying I was like I think that's an oblong Kind of Old style punching bag.

I'm seeing me and inflatable kind of like the shape of Grimace a little bit, but it's me. And then cheering on top. No limbs. No limbs. They don't get them. That's what makes me different. I get to wave, point my hands around, do a spell. Not them.

Are you writing this down? I don't hear a pencil writing this down. I'm listening for scratching. Donald, can you just talk to him? I think the Lion King money is going to his head. He's riding high from the rock. Can't do it still. He stuck with me a long ago. can't do it still i want to be i want to be inflatable like super like superman flying

through like a you know you ever been in the circus and they jump through those rings i want it to be like that but but wait also it's like my ears are the rings as well so my ears are on top of one of the rings wait hold mickey, slow down. What are you talking about? What do you mean, what am I talking about? I made it fucking clear. It's my job to think of it. It's your job to write it down. Do a drawing of my dreams. Inflatable Superman through the rings

that are also my head and ears. Stomach down is what I'm saying. Permanent stomach down. Hang up. What? What was he saying? We're going to get our asses handed to us if we don't have like 10 mock-ups of this. Did someone oval punching bags?

Okay. Well, a thing that stuck out to me when you were showing clips, Scott, that hasn't come up, the stilt walkers with staffs. Oh, yeah. They look very similar to the Epcot. Mickey's guards. Guards! Guards! Yeah, yeah.

Do you think those, Mickey, do those ideas clash a little bit? Because we already have a thing with big stilt walking Mickey guards with Mickey staff. What do you think? Answer your own question. When's it Magic Kingdom? When is it Epcot?

Actually, I need these. I need these for real. Why do I ever get out of my own car without 12 of these flanking me? Bugs Bunny's going to come and shoot me in the head one day. Everybody's trying to steal my ideas They wanted to know why I wasn't in Lion King Why I wasn't the star of Lion King

And what they bring up a good fucking question Why wasn't I in any of these movies? Simba mania wouldn't make any sense No one would know what the shape was Just a regular lion's head. In a lot of ways, the guards are there to protect them from me. The guards

can form a prison around me. They make bars with the staffs. So when I say, let me at them, they all slam the staffs down and protect you from me. You need to be thankful I've got these guards. How about that? That's an I'll slam the steps down and protect you from me. You need to be thankful. I've got these guns.

How about that? That's an American tale. Folk fievel. You want to know why there's no more fievel movies? I killed him. Shh, don't tell anyone. Let's put Roger in this parade to make Steven upset. Let's make Steven sad. I don't care.

I want him to be mad. Spielberg is such a narfo. Is that a real word, Mickey? It doesn't matter. It's now. I thought of it, so it's real. It's real to me. What are the vats that Goofy and Max are overseeing in this parade?

Do you say vats or bats? They look like vats or something to me. Like bright yellow vats and then like, what's coming out of them? There's purple stuff? There's a purple top with Mickey ears on it, but they're in suits

that look like they're like trying to contain, like they're working with hazardous chemicals or something. Yeah. And I can't tell what this float is supposed to be.

There's a big Mickey inflatable hat on the back that's actually pretty standard, but then there are like four of these like drum like tall drums yellow drums i refined it it's a new iteration yeah new formula you could tell because it's purple and this is how we're going to generate the thousands and thousands of me's that we're going to need for this he's gonna he hit mufasa with the dip

too popular if you ever come back it's gonna be for one of those shitty straight to dvd He hit Mufasa with the dip. Too popular. If you ever come back, it's going to be for one of those shitty straight-to-DVD sequels or for some very unwatchable live-action films way in the future. Stay in the sky, asshole. Barry Jenkins wants to work with Mufasa. That's his problem. I can shoot the dip into the sky with a big gun. I'll shoot your cloud for Mufasa.

I don't care. It doesn't matter to me. I got a big cannon. Or I'll use one of the fireworks launchers at Disneyland. I bought staffs in bulk. I'll just start launching them at you. I think whenever Disney stopped

getting sponsorship deals from dao chemical oh yeah on the way out the door mickey was like if you got anything lying around i gotta experiment with science on the side um poo bear it's it's the five o'clock shadow poo bear in this parade where he has that like his snoot is colored brown and it just looks like he's tired or he's been drinking or he just hasn't shaved in a while he's getting a lot of 5 a.m calls from mickey i still don't know why that's the version that they had for a while i don't know i like i think he's cute though i don't yeah i like him i'd like to see him

back on a throwback night or something where they're you know it's all max is going to be there darkwing duck's going to be there five oback night or something where Max is going to be there, Darkwing Duck's going to be there, Five O'Clock Shadow, Snoot, Pooh is going to be there, and that's exciting. Well, he does this crazy, swively worm kind of dance. He does real hip-hop in this, so I'd like to see him at some 90s event doing that.

You know what? Pitch entire Mickey Mania parade. The whole thing's happening. I genuinely think they could bust this thing out now exactly and people would lose their minds. I think so, yeah. Part of the throwback night or whatever. Yeah.

The only thing would be- Or no, regular part two. No, yeah, probably. Yep, send it out. When has the majority of guests ever been mad at the parade, even in the version? What's that one parade we did already an episode on with the with the like light magic with the pixies the pixies and stuff yeah that is probably the one that's the only time because they had terrifying scarred looking faces yeah uh and replaced main street electrical parade that's maybe the only time otherwise yeah this i think you just bring this thing back exactly yeah um i mean i guess there are you know maybe some people are upset

about some of the deconstructions and the freaks um and i guess if if there was one and this is really the litmus test i guess if there's one that was going to upset you maybe we've made it to this point i think we all know which one i'm going to bring up yeah because we've seen every type of mickey there are weird inflatable limbless mickeys as if he grew them in a lab you know how kfc like does the chickens without the without the arms and legs, without wings. Let's do that. Let's get that done. But just, all right, do me a favor. Just, like, grow 10,000 of them, and the six most attractive ones we'll use in the parade.

The rest... Uh-huh. Yeah, we know what to do. Hit them with a dip. And I don't mean ranch. I don't mean ranch or sour cream or sweet and sour sauce. I mean the dip i don't mean ranch or sour cream or sweet and sour sauce i mean the dip you know you get my drift so there's that and then there's other like inflatable looking ones that just look like hulked out mickeys essentially looks just like a bigger stronger mickey the just massive, uh, more, uh, street sharks, less Jay Leno proportion. Oh yeah. Um, but the one is an upside down Mickey,

like a fully distorted, inverted Mickey who walks on his hands, his feet are up in the air. And also as part of this transformation, his seat is massive so at the top of this mickey is just is a big wide butt let's just say it with giant shoes come also so his whole take mickey grow his entire lower half puff it up full of helium by 50 then flip it make him walk around on his hands um and then is the head big and weird no head is normal head is normal and depending on the

photo or video you're looking at down at his crotch or down at his butt yes i don't know if... And the legs are real spread. I don't know if, even though you described it really accurately, you're going to have to go to social media or Google this to find this. I mean, I'd love for a listener, as the guy on the phone drawing Mickey's Crazed Visions, I would love to see somebody draw it based on my description. That's a good idea. I wonder if they'd get there. Maybe they'd get close. But, yeah, it's description. That's a good idea. I wonder if they'd get there. Maybe they'd get close. But yeah, it's weird.

It's weird. It's the fact that his head is then just like kind of looking at you straight like it would be if he was a regular Mickey. Yeah. But it's down at his butt.

Yeah. And it doesn't it kind of seem like his head is trying to crawl out of his ass. Like he, like Mickey ate himself. That's what this whole thing is it's like mickey ate himself oh yeah swallowing so yes it's an alternate name mickey or a boris it's almost like the lonesome ghost cartoon where goofy gets caught in the um dresser drawers and he sees his

own butt and then he like attacks his own butt he doesn't go inside his butt or anything yeah but it does have that body horror thing that i as a child like was that part was a little disturbing to me because goofy's hurting himself really badly and his body was contorted in such a crazy way this just takes it to another level where mickey has literally eaten his own head and it's coming out his rectum. This one's good. This is the best freak we grew. This is my favorite movie. I like this. This is the, I look, I, not to

call myself perfection, but I'm a fan. Look at me. America's a fan. The world's a fan. It speaks for itself, but maybe an improvement. Maybe a Walt should have drawn me. Imagine the world's first cartoon character whose head is coming out of its rectum. It's breathtaking, isn't it?

It's, uh, I don't, how, why? Like, there's a lot of other stuff in the parade. Why this? Why, how is it approved? It's, it's one of the weirdest things that's ever been in the park yes there's not a lot of things that you'd describe as as disturbing but i'm also not i also think it's awesome the guy disney dan did a video all about this and he's like i hate it kill it i'm like i feel the. I don't disagree with any adjectives you're using, but I'm fascinated by this. Yeah.

I'd get a toy of this, I think. Well, we'd all get toys of that. Mickey with his head coming out of his ass. I think it's kind of like the legs and hands. Well, the hands are the legs. Fuck. He's not really square like a stuck out like a starfish

but I feel like there were some stuffed clowns floating around like my house and my grandma's house growing up. I feel like it's a version of that. Yeah, so maybe that's where it comes from. Lens spread way out. Yeah, lens spread way out. Right, and yeah, they weren't like you couldn't.

Some Christmas ornament clowns, I feel like. This is kind of, it's sort of like Sid from Toy Story took a Mickey. Oh, yeah. And did one of his little Sid operations on it. But in this case, Mickey was like, approved, better. Is it for sure the performer's ass where Mickey's head is coming from? I think I saw videos where it's up front or where Mickey's head's packing up front. That's sort of the first thing I see is I can just see the person in it.

And essentially, like I know that obviously there's legs are on the ground. He's wearing gloves on his shoes. And it just looks like Mickey's covering their genitals. Yeah. I think there is a version like that so yeah imagine an inverse mickey who is dribbling his own head out of his dick right or it's like an austin powers joke where he like puts a mickey head over to cover himself or something that's sort of the way my brain goes i don't know why austin power is in the brain like usual but what a what a

nightmare to like that like imagine like imagine having a bad dream where you're like about to have sex with somebody and then you unzip their you lower their pants and then there's a big mickey mouse head there god oh wait listener tell me if i first apologies second tell me if i made you have that dream by saying that yeah I don't think it's ever have I mean people have maybe said that they've had dreams about the show but if we ever provoked a nightmare

with something in the this would be the episode there's some ticking clocks it doesn't even have to be it doesn't even have to be a sexual here I'll widen the nightmare out doesn't have to be a sexual thing just imagine you're going that's like a weird that's like if instead there's like i don't you know a big steak or something that's like something just i don't know what to make of it well imagine you know you're in one of those situations where you have to go to the bathroom

in the middle of the night and sometimes this happens to me i don't know if it happens to you gentlemen i dream that i went to the bathroom because i don't want to get up i'm so tired so i kind of have a dream that i was sure that you were going to say because that wind up and then you said, I dribble a little bit and that's okay. No, no, no. Medically speaking, actually, it's encouraged. It is. That was 100% correct things you just said, but that's not where I was headed.

And you get up and you're actually dreaming, but you're imagining you're doing the thing that your brain is. Have you ever had this? Imagining? I was so distracted by the dribble. You've never, have you ever had a dream? You have an actual urge to go to the bathroom but you are so tired you're in the middle of sleep that you kind of have a dream that you're going to the bathroom and you don't actually go into some tangent yeah yes and it's still in you like you wake up and you go i never

i didn't go to the bathroom now i have to go and i always find it interesting when the dreams hook up to you trying to sleep where it like stems instead of cutting to you somewhere completely different i like when it's like the dream started with me in bed at 5 a.m and then i went on a little adventure from there that's interesting that interesting i only only have that usually when i'm taking a nap where i almost have this weird like now we start literally where i am and then weird stuff starts happening. Yeah. But it's usually nap. I don't know why. That makes sense.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Night, I don't have that. Free for sleep. The dreams can get a little crazy. Uh-huh. You remember them better. But anyway, now we've lost the whole point, so people have forgotten what I was talking about.

But I was over it. If this was the Joe Rogan experience, that dream talk would go for 120 more minutes. That's true, and we would be making millions. We'd be making millions of dollars. And you get my 20-plus clips. K's true, and we would be making millions. We'd be making millions of dollars. And you get like 20 plus clips. Ketamine, DMT. DMT shit's fucking crazy, dude. Yeah, ice baths or ice,

cold plunges. Is that a big thing with them? Cold plunges are getting pretty popular. Well, cold plunges are back with the celebs too. A lot of celebs doing cold plunges. Steve Harvey, big cold plunge guy. I listened to like an hour-long thing of what steve harvey does now for his health uh cold plunge a big part of it now here i will look this is this

is it's all to taste because i thought it was cool you were listening to rick beato and steve lucather but then you so who am i to criticize you listening to an hour of steve harvey talking about his health regimen yeah yeah yeah i don't maybe it was 41 minutes i maybe it was 45 Minutes. In what form? I'm trying to remember. This is actually a few weeks ago, so I can't remember what show it was, but I don't remember how I got there. I love Steve Harvey. I think Steve Harvey's so funny. So it was popping up in my algorithm.

And then he just started talking about his cold plunges and this guy who was like, turned him on to a bunch of different things like the, whatever, some red light machine, rich person's red light machine or something. And I was like fascinated by it. I get the start. We're referred.

This was also said in last week's episode too. But you're going to do every one of these things. Yeah. Cost permitting. Yeah, of course. You are going to do every single insane celebrity life extending thing. I can't wait to see. So Mike has this red machine.

What does it do? I don't know. It blasts red at him. I mean, that's the short version. If you want to hear the long version for Mike, he will improvise an hour about every bit that the red bit. You just lay it back and it blasts red at you. Well, I think large infrared lights can get expensive,

but cold plunges, I was going to say, I think you make yourself with Rubbermaid, but Mike's a tall guy, so I don't know. You'd have to get kind of a large Rubbermaid. To be a too cold plunge, you'd have to be a certain temperature. You'd have to bring ice in to get it that cold, but you can do a version of it

if you really want to fill the bath up with really cold water. So you can do versions of it. Get some Rubbermaid at Target, and then you walk to the front of the store. Hey, bags of ice? Yeah, right there. Sure. What I do is, I mean, how do I look this good at 100? Well,

it's switching back and forth constantly. Cold and hot, cold and hot, cold and hot. All night and then I sleep from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. So I'm actually only up at night, which is when creativity's better.

It's really when the best ideas come out because you're in kind of this lucid state. And I just make my employees also stay up with me so they can transcribe my ideas. I microdose DMT and ketamine. I'm on a carnivore diet. I'm listening to this Jordan Peterson book, this self-help book.

It's really actually opening me up for a lot of things something about lobsters i didn't follow it so i've just been eating a lot of lobster jordan just was responding to mickey mouse twitter accounts for about a few years he'll say like fuck you yoda and stuff and i was like who's this guy but he actually has some interesting ideas it's actually pretty good you You know, when I saw Shane Gillis sing the R word on SNL, I thought comedy is back. It's like it's legal again, folks.

Yeah, finally. Finally legal. I knew it'd come around because I've been, you know, obviously in a hundred years, things come and go. So I knew this woke era, you know, that's going to be a flash in the pan.

Just like Fievel, who I had killed. Actually, can you cut that part? i don't really want that going out um what since i i don't want to forget about that since we were talking about inflatable stuff can someone tell me um what this is that i'm looking at that's the strap of an inflatable mickey watch you're looking at okay from your context and angle it looks kind of like a caterpillar but you know you were looking at from your context and angle it looks kind of like a caterpillar but you know you were looking at a Mickey Mouse watch strap turned to the side okay I see that that's a very specific kind I thought it was like a bandolier like I don't know what I I couldn't see like watch straps are usually black. Even Mickey watch straps.

I think of it as just a boring black leather watch strap. Maybe they want it to be bright in the parade. I suppose. Yeah, but even though black's part of it, there's obviously a lot of black in this. There's also, in the last one where he's, like, if you don't think you've seen enough Mickey, then in the last float, the regular Mickey is up on top.

You don't even know what to make of, I've been so, my vision's been so contorted now. I don't know how to look at regular Mickey ever again. But under him is a little like, you know, twisting, turning factory of more little Mickey egg type creatures. Oh yeah, I know. It's kind of teeter and totter back and forth. It's almost like, I wonder if it was supposed to be a reference to Small World. It's like a bunch of little

Small World Mickey dolls. Or a reference to aliens. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, it's like his eggs. Those are my eggs. I laid those for the first time. Please see my eggs. We're going to let the fans in.

You guys didn't know that? I lay eggs with little short patterns. This final float with all of this Mickey design and the little eggs and the little, it almost looks like religious icons. This whole thing is kind of this like false idol. It's just like every possible, let's worship every shape and size of this and and it's it's yeah it's somewhere between bizarre religious ceremony and then also like something kim jong-un would make happen i think he would command that everybody do this and people would

be like pushed out of their homes with big sticks to go start rehearsing this thing yes yeah that's for sure uh it's i don yeah, there's never been more, like Mickey is very celebrated. There's been, you know, Mickey's birthday land, excuse me, and the different shows, but none of those are quite as grotesque as this whole package. Yeah.

I don't know, that's an interesting thing because I've never thought really on any of that stuff. I go, well, Mickey's like the main character, so obviously he's going to get parades, he's going to get some of his own different lands whatever but like this is this is maybe too much it's too much and i'm like at the end of the watching this parade a few times i'm like what was the meaning of that what does that mean you then that's that's where you don't know in your awake state but when you're yes when you're dreaming that's when you'll figure it out yeah coming right at the same time this is

not the only time they've used the phrase mickey mania there was a super nintendo and genesis game that i remember what i watched a little of the playthrough. And similarly, I think the first level, Mickey, modern, yellow, red, black Mickey, runs through Steamboat Willie. Like, you run by Willie to, like, drive in the ship. Well, like, also, it's not so dissimilar to Epic Mickey as well. Yeah. Because it's like, that's sort of a deconst dissimilar to epic mickey as well because it's like that's sort of

a deconstruction of a lot of different disney things and you go through levels that are like abstractions of theme parks and of the shorts and stuff so you gotta look at pictures of that mickey mania game because he looks so mad in them it's finally it's fun that mickey we're describing like the brow is so like sharp and angular And he's with a bunch of bats. He's kicking a sorcerer or something. Yeah, the sorcerer, I remember it being a real menace. That was one where I was like, this game is really fun, the graphics are good,

but I definitely stared at that box art a lot. There's another one called, this is a PlayStation one, called Mickey's Wild Adventure, and it's him looking, again, really angry, running at you. Behind him are a bunch of ghosts and skeletons and hellfire. Again, bats. Boy, there's a lot of, like, metal Mickey stuff out there.

Yeah. I mean, that original, I guess, I don't know, Mickey's face doesn't look angry, but that original epic Mickey art, which looks so creepy and dystopian. Some of the art still looks pretty scary but like yeah well this is mickey's really been through it he was willing to go dark he was willing to go psychedelic he was willing to invert himself completely show us his eggs this might be the this is the most revealing personal thing he ever did yeah i would like to see his eggs again though yeah in some context bring back mickey's eggs yeah the next time that there is an announcement about something and recently we have been getting some announcements

we're recording this just as there was an announcement of like we're going to do this stuff in paris we're going to change that park and you know maybe some future hopefully some big stuff coming this year. But anybody on our team who listens to The Second Gate, you see some news that even if it's news that you like, just respond with bring back Mickey's eggs. What if they started

if Disney started seeing this a decent amount and started the social media person has to go why are we getting this all the time? I would love to see uh an event where mickey lays one of his eggs and while he does that does like a conor o'malley kind of scream like an agonizing because it hurts to lay eggs it hurts where's that coming out of it can't be that the hole can't be that size all the time no no no wider

that thing gets uh the tougher of the of course it's like a kidney stone like you're passing a kidney stone yeah i really drank enough water right and we got that goes back to our hydration that goes back to our urethras i drank too much prime energy drink and they said i was super dehydrated i made a deal i made a deal with deal with Logan Paul to put prime energy in the castles. We're all making deals with Logan Paul. The castle now has a big prime energy logo on the side of it. It's worth the money, though. It was time.

We need that extra scratch. Yeah. We're having hard times here at Disney. We're worried about the Mufasa movie making box office. What do we have coming out? Daisy Ridley plays an accomplished woman swimmer. Oh, shit. Oh, there's a York.

There was already a swimming movie at the Oscars, and no one saw it. Wait, is that the Yorgos movie, or is that a different one? No, it's different. They were standing up, and they'd have the full slate, and on it was like Mufasa, Toy Story, and then a Yorgos movie. That's true. Yeah, Yorgos is doing Mickey Mania the movie. That would be great. We're winning all the technical Oscars.

He's a weird guy. I love it. I love it. That's Yorgos' house now. That's what I call the studio. He's doing it all. Yes. Yorgos' house is. That's what I call the studio. He's doing it all. Yes. Yorgos.

Yorgos. Yorgos' house is about to get funky and fresh. Yorgos is doing Smee. The beat of the streets. The Smee Origins story. Yorgos is doing the live action remakes. Yorgos is giving the MCU all Yorgos all the time. I feel like we did it. I yeah i think we did i don't yeah

hey it was a trippy one the your ghost movie of episodes um it's true yeah well what you said at the beginning about twisted was right and it really was like yeah boy this is this was a trip to some weird places and i thank the disney company for for it on, for loosening us up, for helping us all be less big of narfos.
