A Halloween drink in hand and 13 Disney nightmares on deck—this one leans delightfully spooky. We start with a DIY sangria riff worthy of Disney Springs: Pinot Noir softened by pear liqueur, Cointreau, apple juice, and those gummy eyeballs that stare back. Then we push straight into the chills and chuckles: stuck-ride purgatory with looping music, the sudden dread of being named Rebel Spy right after a Dole Whip, and the slow horror of a limited-edition popcorn bucket rolling into the crowd during fireworks, never to return.

From there, we get bolder. Imagine outdoor-only queues with no shade or fans. Picture an app that nags you to book Lightning Lanes when all you want is to eat. Consider step limits that end your park day at 10,000 and turn zigzag lines into strategic minefields. And yes, we talk food—because nothing shakes a Disney loyalist like messing with snacks. How about fenced eating zones with 15-minute time caps? Or a property-wide pivot to pickle-flavored everything: churros, shakes, beignets, even a briny breakfast wrap. We also mourn the idea of beloved staples disappearing and debate what happens when the only ice cream is divisive. It’s funny until it isn’t.

We keep it human with the small moments that sting: kids correcting your lore with absolute certainty, balloon-photo pileups that halt foot traffic, and the Skyliner pausing midair while strangers share your glass cube. We even let Figment judge our snack choices from the walls and joke about a Jar Jar mover ride that tests patience and canon. Under the laughs is a real point: the magic relies on freedom, variety, and tiny kindnesses that keep the day feeling effortless. Take those away, and the happiest place gets a little haunted.

If you’re here for theme park talk with humor, honesty, and a dash of Halloween, you’re in the right place. Press play, sip something spooky, and tell us your own Disney nightmare. And hey—if you’re enjoying the show, tap follow, share it with a park pal, and leave a quick review so more fans can find us.

SPEAKER_01 (00:00):
Hello and welcome to Cheers to Ears, where today
we're sipping on a spookysangria.
And it's made with emundry,Pinot Noir, St.
George Spiced Per Liqueur,Cointreau, Apple Juice, Simple
Syrup, and an eyeball gummy.
It can be found at CityWorksEatery and Poor House at Disney
Springs.
And you can get it for the priceof nobody knows.
Nobody knows.

(00:20):
It's not on there.
So I would guess around$18 to$19.

SPEAKER_00 (00:24):
Probably.

SPEAKER_01 (00:25):
Other drinks that coincides with that.

SPEAKER_00 (00:27):
Yeah, sometimes sangria can be a little cheaper.
But there is zero information.
Yeah.
No idea.
Oh well.
So we did Mr.
Stack's Pear liqueur.
We didn't use a spicy pearliqueur, but we did use
Quantrow.
So it was the whole bottle ofthe imagery Pinot Noir.
Two ounces of simple syrup.

(00:53):
Two ounces of the pear liqueur,Mr.
Stack's Pear Liqueur, and oneand a half ounces of quant.
Give it a little stir with someice and poured it over a little
more ice.
And then down floating down atthe bottom are the gummy
eyeballs.
Yes, they are there.

SPEAKER_01 (01:07):
I'm gonna have to drink with this new camera
setup.
Get my drink.
I'm gonna have to have like adrinking table or something.
Very good.
Let's see if it fits there.

SPEAKER_00 (01:17):
It does.
Alright.
It's a softened red wine.

SPEAKER_01 (01:22):
Yeah, it's very good.
It's mild.

SPEAKER_00 (01:24):
I'm usually not a fan of Pinot's.
Okay.
The only time they pair reallywell with chocolate.
I have found that.
Uh-huh.
But other than of just drinkingthe wine, you gotta do
something, the Pinot's.

SPEAKER_01 (01:36):
We should have tried a little bit of it before we put
it in.
What this Pinot taste about howit tastes by itself before we
did the whole thing because Ithink the liqueur and the
cointreau soften the and thejuice soften the taste.
That little bite off of it.

SPEAKER_00 (01:52):
And the simple syrup and everything.
Yeah.
I like it though.

SPEAKER_01 (01:55):
Yeah.
This is good, and it's it's kindof a spooky drink, the spooky
sangria.
Yeah.
And City Works is it's soundslike a good place.
I looked at their menu, has lotsof good drinks.
It's an extensive drink menu.
I'm trying to remember whereit's at in Disney Springs.
I don't even know.
I didn't know it was it existed.

SPEAKER_00 (02:11):
I didn't either.

SPEAKER_01 (02:12):
Yeah.
It's not, I mean, we don't spenda lot of time in Disney Springs.
Isn't our main hangout?
It's a jaunt.

SPEAKER_00 (02:17):
But it's I've been there enough times that I have a
general idea of whereeverything's at.
And that one just doesn't soundfamiliar at all.

SPEAKER_01 (02:26):
So maybe it doesn't even exist.

SPEAKER_00 (02:28):
Maybe not.

SPEAKER_01 (02:29):
Yeah, but today we're talking about a spooky
topic.

SPEAKER_00 (02:33):
A spooky topic.
This is our Halloween episode.
This is it.
As you can tell by our Halloweenspecific intro music that we
just did that you introduced.
And you've heard by now, you'veheard our other new intro music
that we had made with Suno AI.
You just type in what kind oflyrics you want.

SPEAKER_01 (02:52):
We performed that.

SPEAKER_00 (02:53):
And yeah, that was all us.

SPEAKER_01 (02:55):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (02:56):
We suddenly got musical voices.
So, anyway, kind of catchybecause you can type in
different words, like yourlyrics if you have lyrics or a
topic and a theme of music.
So we did a whole bunch.
We were singer-songwriter.
I did a death metal version ofour intro song that I don't
think will ever be played.

(03:16):
Maybe we should just do anepisode of different intro
types.
But we settled on the swingmusic.
You did a poll.
Everyone liked it pretty much.
Yeah.
I did a poll and we had anoutlier that lives in my house.

SPEAKER_01 (03:31):
Oh.
She wasn't a big fan of it.
But she wasn't a big fan of anyof them.
I think she didn't like itbecause I wrote the lyrics.
Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 (03:37):
Anyway, 13 scary things.
Things that would terrify us ifthey happened at the Disney
parks.
Right.
Are all of yours at the Disneyparks?
Uh yes.
Mine are as well.

SPEAKER_01 (03:50):
Yes.
I thought of different thingstoo that weren't at the Disney
parks.
And I went away from the easyone.
I had a I could have done awhole Small World episode.

SPEAKER_00 (03:59):
Yes.

SPEAKER_01 (04:00):
But I went away from it.
I had a whole Annabelle trilogy.
It just exists on its own.
It's terrifying.
It's just scary.
It's just let's just get thatout of the way.
It's the scariest thing aboutDisney Parks.
It is.
It's everything about SmallWorld.
Yeah.
Getting stuck on Small World isthe scariest thing that could
happen.
Can't you?
Put that loop play in for hours.

SPEAKER_00 (04:17):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because I got stuck at the endof Pirates one time with the
parrot.
Yow how.
Yow how.
Yeah.
And a half an hour of that'lldrive you baddie.
So I can't even imagine.
Right.

SPEAKER_01 (04:28):
When we got stuck on three caballero.
Yeah, when we got stuck on threecaballeros that time.

SPEAKER_00 (04:34):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (04:35):
And those the animatronics were just moving
and not making any sound.

SPEAKER_00 (04:38):
Dead quiet.

SPEAKER_01 (04:39):
It was like 40 minutes of that.

SPEAKER_00 (04:41):
And nobody really even wanted to talk because it
was so empty.
Yeah.
So everybody just spoke inwhispers.
It was creepy.
That was creepy.
Just imagine the small world.
And they gave us nothing forthat, for being stuck on that
ride forever.
I'm still a little bit.
Because usually they give you alittle perk here or there when
you get stuck on a ride.
But nope, not that time.

(05:02):
I guess they considered it aprivilege to be stuck on three
caballeros.
So anyway, 13.
We went with lucky number 13.
13 of them.
Do you want to go first?

SPEAKER_01 (05:11):
I'll let you go first.
Okay.
My first one is accidentallycalling a cast member mom.

SPEAKER_00 (05:17):
That's a good one.

SPEAKER_01 (05:18):
So you're just asking them where the churro
card is, but somehow it justslips out.
Thanks, Mom.
It slips out.
Now you have to fake a bathroomemergency and leave the park
forever.

SPEAKER_00 (05:27):
Yeah, or just you have to avoid that land for the
rest of the day.
You like this drink.
I do, and but there's a lot.
It is a heavy pour.
It is that we gave you.

SPEAKER_01 (05:35):
Yeah, we doubled this one.

SPEAKER_00 (05:36):
A full wine glass.
There's like eight to ten ouncesthere.
So yeah.
So I'm working on that.
Get it whittled down.
So your number one.
My number one.
Yep.
All future rides will be omnimovers only and will last for no
longer than four minutes for thetotal ride.
So think Haunted Mansion orLittle Mermaid.
Okay.

(05:56):
That's the only ride style.
Yeah.
But unlike those rides, fourminutes long at max.
So you get on whatever for acouple minutes and then off.
That's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 (06:09):
That's tough.
My second one is being chosen asthe rebel spy on Star Tours.

SPEAKER_00 (06:15):
That's terrifying.

SPEAKER_01 (06:16):
It's terrifying.
No, it's not it's terrifyingjust because I just had a dole
whip and all I want to do is sitdown and just digest my dole
whip and chill out.
But all of a sudden I have thefate of the rebellion on my
hands.
That's scary.
That's a lot of weight on myshoulders.
It is.
It really is.
I don't I wasn't ready for that.
Have you ever been picked aswell?
Yes, one time.
I was a solo trip.

(06:37):
Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 (06:38):
Oh, that's too bad.
That's like a tree falling in aforest.
Yeah.
So I never ride that.
You don't.
And it's it's not a bad ride.
And as long as I get in the backrow, I'm fine.
It's just I never think about itwhen we're in the parks.
It's just one of thosewalk-by-I'm never really drawn
to it, and I've never been drawnto it by myself.

(07:00):
But I remember my cousin got meon there after years of not
writing it.
And the first time I wrote it atyeah, I was the Rebel spy.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
And I don't think I got apicture.
I didn't get a picture either.
They should give you a picture.
They should give you a picture.
Not fair.
All right.
You're number two.
Number two.

(07:20):
All snacks, including beverages,must be consumed in designated
eating areas of the park.
Standing only tables will beprovided, and a maximum time
limit of 15 minutes will beallowed in designated areas.
So no more walking around withsnacks.
Including beverages.
So like you can't walk aroundwith your iced coffee.
You just gotta consume it in oneplace.

(07:41):
You gotta consume it in oneplace standing.

SPEAKER_01 (07:44):
That's not a bad idea for me not eating as much
and stuff.

SPEAKER_00 (07:48):
It would be for them to keep things clean.
Yeah.
That would be their motivation,but it would be in that.

SPEAKER_01 (07:54):
Yeah, I don't hate that because I would think, oh,
I'm not gonna eat right now.

SPEAKER_00 (07:57):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (07:58):
I'm gonna do all my eating at those 50.
I'm gonna parse my 15 minutes.
15 minutes to eat.
Yeah.
I'm gonna figure out what howmuch I can eat in 15 minutes,
eat that 15 minutes and not eatthe rest of the day.
Yes.
So that would save me a lot ofmoney.

unknown (08:11):
I'm gonna go to the water.

SPEAKER_00 (08:12):
Yeah, me too.

SPEAKER_01 (08:13):
Walking around beer wouldn't happen.

SPEAKER_00 (08:14):
Yeah.
I like a good walking aroundbeer.
Yeah.
Or well, you your churros.
No more walking around orwalking back to the hotel,
churros.
Drink around the world?
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (08:24):
That wouldn't be a thing.

SPEAKER_00 (08:25):
You'd have to drink right outside in the little
fenced off area.

SPEAKER_01 (08:28):
Wow.

SPEAKER_00 (08:29):
They wouldn't do it because then they'd have to come
up with little fenced off areas.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
Terrifying.

SPEAKER_01 (08:34):
That's crazy.
No, mine are more in general,not just things to me personally
to be terrifying because I'm notgoing to buy a popcorn bucket.

SPEAKER_02 (08:41):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (08:42):
Okay.
But my next one is you'rewatching a fireworks and you
just bought a brand new limitededition Halloween Mickey Glow in
the Dark Vampire bucket.
You drop it and it goes rollingand you can't ever find it
again.
And all the people.
That would suck.
There's no replacements, there'sonly regrets.

SPEAKER_00 (08:58):
Oh, you know what?
What?
I I actually didn't.
I meant to add that as one ofmine.
Dropping a popcorn bucket?
No, no.
About merchandise.
Oh.
That no more limits onmerchandise.
I was thinking about doing thatone.
So you know those obnoxious eBaypeople who come in and buy tons
of the merchandise and buy more.

(09:18):
Yeah, they could buy it allbefore you get in there.
Wow.
Yeah.
No, no lines.
Yeah.
That would be terrifying.
But that's not one.
I didn't actually remember toput that in there.
Bonus one.
Bonus one.
Based off of yours.
So that was That was my numberthree.
My number three.
All future Disney clothing willbe made of coarse wool only.
Oh man.

(09:38):
I couldn't buy any.
No.
I'm highly allergic to wool.

SPEAKER_01 (09:41):
It would be, yeah, that would suck.
That would suck.
And summertime clothes wouldn'texist.

SPEAKER_00 (09:46):
Yeah, because you want to wear a itchy spirit
gear.
Oh man.
And coarse wool.
We're not talking marino wool.
We're talking the nasty stufffrom when we were kids.
Right.
Yeah.
Cheap wool.

SPEAKER_01 (09:58):
Cheap wool.
Right.
My next one is you're wearing anall-white, like a suit, like one
of those like Florida stylewhite shorts, white shirt.
Right.
No, nothing underneath, really.
Yeah.
And the scarier part is we werewearing speedos that day.
Just in case you go to the waterparks.
And then you sit in the frontrow of Splash Mountain or or a
Tian is you get soaked and yougotta walk off the ride.

(10:22):
And everybody seems to speedoand you're clinging white with a
speed-up.

SPEAKER_00 (10:27):
Which is probably better than not wearing any
underwear at all.
Yeah.
That would be true.

SPEAKER_01 (10:32):
This is a family show, though, people.

SPEAKER_00 (10:33):
This is a family show.

SPEAKER_01 (10:34):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 (10:35):
Ugh.
Okay, my stomach's turned alittle on that one.
Okay.
So my next one.
The only ice cream sold in theparks from here on out will be
salt and straw.
Oh.
Yeah, you don't like salt andstraw.
No.
I finally found one that wasokay.
For the most part, no.
Their ice cream sucks.
That's more of a personal onebecause even if they made just

(10:56):
straight vanilla or somethinglike that, it would still be
horrible because it's a reallyweird consistency.
It's very grainy.

SPEAKER_01 (11:03):
That's more personable to you because they
still have long lines.
They do a lot of basics.
They do.
They do.
It goes down the way it is onDisney.

SPEAKER_00 (11:11):
Basil and black pepper ice cream.
Yeah.
Those weirdos.
So anyway, yeah, that's apersonal terror to me.

SPEAKER_01 (11:19):
Yeah, so my next one is a kid correcting me on Disney
lore.
Ooh.
Like telling me, like I'm I'msaying that Goofy's not a dog
just because I say, right, if Isaid that.
And he's like, no, actually,Goofy's a dog, but not a Pluto
kind of dog.
Oh.
Cool.
Thanks, seven-year-old Jeremy.
I'll go reevaluate my entirelife now.

SPEAKER_00 (11:40):
That's right up there with people who send us
comments.
Uh-huh.
Oh, did you hear the like thelatest news?
Yeah, I heard that four days agowhen it was the latest news.
Of course we know it.
Oh, this would make a greatepisode for the podcast.
Yeah, we did that six monthsago.
Thanks.

SPEAKER_01 (11:57):
Yeah, the only if Fresh Baked said it, we know it.

SPEAKER_00 (12:01):
Yes.
Or DFB guide.

SPEAKER_01 (12:03):
Yeah.
If anyone else has ever said it,watch it from Disney World.

SPEAKER_00 (12:07):
I am fully my cup is gonna ask about that.
Running empty again.
Yep, you're watching.
Yeah, I'm back to watchingmultiple Even W DW Fresh Baked,
the Walt Disney World version ofFresh Baked.
Yeah.
Is that good?
Yeah.
Okay.
I because he just has adifferent take than everybody

(12:27):
else.
And it's I didn't know there wasone, an equivalent at all.
Yeah.
And he just did the food andwine festival.
But he has he's not a foodie, soit's really interesting seeing
him do food and wine, but he hassome stuff.
Boy, I kind of wish I was atfood and wine.
Yeah.
To try a couple of things.
You always do when you see it.
I figured out what it is thatscrews up food and wine.

(12:49):
The really good food has reallylong lines, and I'm like, yeah,
I don't want to stand in thatline.
Oh, there's a short line, orjust something that sounds
interesting there, and it sucks.
Yeah.
Well, it that's why there's ashort line there because it
sucks.
You just gotta bite the bulletand stand in that long line.
Yep.
That's all there is to it.
Good.

SPEAKER_01 (13:08):
Okay.
Good one.
Number six.
You did your number five, right?

SPEAKER_00 (13:13):
Number five.
You didn't your number five?
I'm doing it now.
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (13:15):
Your tangent was.

SPEAKER_00 (13:16):
All ride queues are moved to outdoor only.
Oh, and no shade or fans will beprovided.
And umbrella use is also bannedwhile in line.
That's funny.
Yeah.
Make you really decide whetheror not you want to go on that
ride.
That's a tough one.

SPEAKER_01 (13:29):
Okay.
That's a tough one.
My next one is watching someoneeat a turkey leg at 9 a.m.
Right.
It gives you a total medievalbattlefield vibe.
Oh, just gross.

SPEAKER_00 (13:41):
Yeah.
Just swapping on it.
Especially if they pulled itcompletely out of the wrapper.
Oh, yeah.
And jump down.
Just hold on to the bare meat.
Yeah.
That bone.
Ugh.
That's gross.
Okay.
The next one, this one hitsclose to home.
Okay.
The Kringla Bakery Ug Cafe willdiscontinue the sale of school
bread.
That's a fear for you.

(14:01):
That would be terrible.
You would hate that.
It'll never happen, but thatwould be terrifying.

SPEAKER_01 (14:06):
No, but it would be terrifying for a bit, but guess
what you'd do?

SPEAKER_00 (14:10):
I would just go over to find something else.
I'd go to France and just getsomething.

SPEAKER_01 (14:15):
It would suck.
It would suck.
It would suck.
But like everything else.
It wouldn't stop me from going.
Right.
Just move on.
Yeah.
Okay, number seven.
Okay, here's something that Ithink my son and his fiance
disagree with.
The family matching shirts thatsay most expensive day ever.
I don't like those.
Those are scary.

SPEAKER_00 (14:32):
Yeah.
Oh.
Being forced to wear those?
Yeah, or even seeing them.

SPEAKER_01 (14:37):
Oh.

SPEAKER_00 (14:38):
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (14:39):
Yeah.
I mean, they're not wrong.
No.
The shirts are correct.
Who wants to watch?
Who wants to see that?
Right.
So I always see it while I'mbuying like a like a$22 beverage
in line.

SPEAKER_00 (14:49):
So my next one, I had you in mind with this one.
A water park visit will berequired with every Disney World
trip.
I don't hate a water park.
No.
But you're not going to go on ato a water park.
I don't want to go to a waterpark.
Yeah.
I'm going to go to the body.

SPEAKER_01 (15:04):
I like a water park better than a pool.
Oh, okay.
I mean, that's a kind of athrill ride involved.
Yeah, that's true.
I mean, a lazy river is evenbetter than just sitting in a
pool.
This is true.
Yeah.
I don't hate the water.
It's nothing to do with swimmingor waters.
It's just boring to me.

SPEAKER_00 (15:19):
Just to be floating there.

SPEAKER_01 (15:20):
Yeah, that's why I would rather go to a Disney park
than go to Cancun or look atsand and water.

SPEAKER_00 (15:28):
Sit on the beach and read a book.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (15:30):
That's just not my vibe.
Not your jam.
I appreciate those who'd likethat.

SPEAKER_00 (15:33):
I can do that in the midst of doing a bunch of other
stuff.
But if it's just that, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (15:39):
No, thank you.
No, I would go to DisneylandCancun.
Anytime.
Yeah.
Disneyland Porti Vallante.

SPEAKER_00 (15:47):
I wonder if there'll ever be a South American Disney
World Park.
My guess would be Argentina.
I think Argentina.
You think so?
Because of the crime rate, Ithink is a little too high in
Brazil.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That would be my guess.
Probably not even the talks.
Yeah.
Probably not in Chile forearthquake reasons.

(16:08):
Right.
Severe earthquakes.
Anyway, but probably not in thetalks.

SPEAKER_01 (16:13):
Okay.
Here's a Aaron one.
This is for you.
This is one of your scariestthings.
The skyliner's stopping midair.

SPEAKER_00 (16:20):
Oh, yeah, that would suck.
Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (16:23):
It's a swinging glass coffin with strangers and
no snacks.

SPEAKER_00 (16:26):
Yeah.
You don't like that.
There's bags of water in there.
I do that for you.
But not anything else.
And yeah.
But no, I don't want to come toa stop in those things.
Right.
You don't.
You don't like it.
I didn't realize that becauseyou do so well on them.
I've gotten used to them andusually they just keep going.
It's rare that they ever come toa complete stop.
But when they do, I just itstarts bugging me to just be

(16:50):
sitting there.
Or if it's windy and it'srocking a little, or it comes to
an abrupt stop and you startswinging back and forth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A little scary.
Okay.
This one will terrify everybody.
Everybody within the sound of myvoice, all eight of you.
This will terrify you.
The return of reservations forall Disney parks.

(17:12):
Oh.
Yeah.
Like you still have to make themfor Disneyland and DCA.
Yeah.
But for all of them.
Yeah, people hate that so much.

SPEAKER_01 (17:20):
I don't mind.
I don't mind it.
I don't I mean, I didn't love itlast time we went because we
would have changed it up.

SPEAKER_00 (17:26):
Yeah.
We would have changed it up.

SPEAKER_01 (17:31):
But whatever.
Yeah, it's fine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You decided then you go with it.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Okay, number nine.
We're number nine.
Yes.
Okay.
Walking behind someone whosuddenly stops for a balloon
photo.
Oh.
Yeah.
I mean, we walked behind thatperson.
Remember we were rushing duringthe fireworks to rise.

SPEAKER_00 (17:51):
Yes.

SPEAKER_01 (17:51):
And then you were leading the way.
You're my plowing.
Yeah, you were my linebacker.
I was the running back.
Let's make a good yardage.
I was fullback.
I did a spin move.

unknown (18:00):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (18:02):
To go in, and I ran right into that lady's back who
stopped all of a sudden to takea picture of the fireworks.
So same idea.
Yeah.
But you're just walking alongand someone just wants to take a
picture with the balloons.
Yeah.
Just on their own.
They do that a lot at DisneyWorld.

SPEAKER_00 (18:15):
That's I don't know if that's terrifying or if
that's just rage-inducing.

SPEAKER_01 (18:20):
Yeah, and that's also a thing you'll be in their
photo forever.

SPEAKER_00 (18:23):
Yes, this is true.

SPEAKER_01 (18:24):
You're going like this.

SPEAKER_00 (18:25):
Scowling.

SPEAKER_01 (18:25):
Yeah.
Yes.

SPEAKER_00 (18:26):
Why you?
Not with your Disney best.
Nope.
Nope.
You're number nine.
My number nine.
Park goers will be limited toonly 10,000 steps or six miles,
whichever comes first.
Done.
10,000 steps, you're done.
Go home.
Can you imagine the strategizingyou'd have to do to get
everything done that you wantedto do with only 10,000 steps?

(18:49):
Yeah.
Because you really got to doabout 25,000 to get stuff done.
Right.
Your average day is 25,000.

SPEAKER_01 (18:57):
Wasn't that what movie was that where they hit
that they hit the is that KillBill?
I've never watched it.
Where they hit the guy and hehad so many steps he took before
he died.
I'm thinking it's Kill Bill.
I forget which movie it was.
It was one of those kind ofmovies.
There was a movie, some kind ofkung fu move or whatever type of
martial art they did.
But that's the same idea.
You had to manage your steps sowell.

(19:17):
Yeah.
And would it be on your app withyour ticket?
Yes.
And they would track you.
And you have a cast member.
Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me, you gotta go.
Yeah, you have three more steps.
Like you wouldn't be able to getany more lightning lanes.
Yeah, get in this cart rightnow.
Your steps are done.

SPEAKER_00 (19:30):
You're done.

SPEAKER_01 (19:31):
You gotta have little golf carts they drive
around.
Stop hauling people out ofthere.
You cannot move anymore.
Terrible.
Just think of the line was youhave to manage your lines too,
because if a line zigzagged andwas too long.

SPEAKER_00 (19:42):
Oh, I know.

SPEAKER_01 (19:42):
How many steps does that take?

SPEAKER_00 (19:44):
You'd have to sit on the railing and scoot yourself
along without moving your feetand hope it didn't count to any
of that.

SPEAKER_01 (19:50):
Or have someone that doesn't want to be in the park
all day.

SPEAKER_00 (19:52):
Yeah.
Carry you.
There you go.

SPEAKER_01 (19:54):
Like Chrissy, you have to carry me around.

SPEAKER_00 (19:56):
Like maybe rickshaws.
Disney rickshaws.

SPEAKER_01 (19:59):
Yeah, Chris, you have to Chris, you have to carry
me through the line.
Thank you, Christy.
So you can go back to the hotel.
I got I got 5,000 more stepsbecause of getting in line for a
ride and realizing you have togo to the bathroom.

SPEAKER_00 (20:13):
Yeah, that's not fun.
Especially on a solo trip.
It's even hard when you go witha group because you don't want
to plow your way back throughthere.
I'm not the type to plow my wayback through a line.
So if I give up, I've given upon the ride.

SPEAKER_01 (20:26):
Yeah.
I'm gonna go last second, I'mgonna try to hold it the whole
time and be miserable.
Yeah, I could wait 45 minutes.

SPEAKER_00 (20:33):
Yeah, I could do this.
Okay, my next one, it's a rideidea.
It's terrifying.
Okay.
Introducing the Jar Jar Banksmover ride.
I like this ride.

SPEAKER_01 (20:44):
We were gonna bore the crap out of you.

SPEAKER_00 (20:46):
I would love, I love Jar Jar.
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (20:50):
It would terrify the rest of us.
I would have a Jar Jar.
He would sit be sitting rightnext to Chubi.
He'd be a good character.
He'd be a great ride character.
There could be so many hijinkson the ride that happen and it
always turns out to the good.

SPEAKER_00 (21:01):
It would be once you ride through.
Okay, now I'm done.
I never have to ride that again.

SPEAKER_01 (21:06):
I don't know.
I think I would like it.

unknown (21:08):
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (21:08):
It'd be all mayhem.
Oh, it would be.
Yeah, like it's like Goofy.
He's like the goofy of StarWars.
Because everything he does isstupid and messes everything up,
but it always turns out good inthe end.

SPEAKER_00 (21:19):
Yeah.
But you know, the fan theory,he's he's a Sith Lord.
Yeah, I know.
That's a funny.
That's a really good story.
Anyway, that's a good one.

SPEAKER_01 (21:28):
I like that.
Mine's getting into a line.

SPEAKER_00 (21:31):
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (21:31):
There's a big line that's moving fast.

SPEAKER_00 (21:34):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (21:34):
And you just get in it because it has to be
something.
There's no rope, no signage.
Yeah.
You don't know if it's for adough up or space mountain.
But you're just getting a ride.
It could be a ride or a snack.
And you're just in a line.
Yeah, you have no idea until youget up to front.
Am I ordering a food?
Or am I riding Space Mountain?
I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 (21:53):

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
