Pour yourself a Bramble and join us for a delightfully silly political fantasy: What if Goofy ran for president?
As we mix this raspberry-forward cocktail from Goofy's Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel, we craft a surprisingly thoughtful platform for Disney's most lovable klutz. With campaign slogans like "Not left, not right, just goofy" and "Leadership with a lopsided smile," we envision a presidency focused on kindness, community, and the occasional pie distribution program.
Goofy's domestic policies would transform America into a "Joyful Nation" with tax breaks for dessert companies, federal employees required to dance throughout their workday, and expanded national parks. His "fun-jocational" approach to education would emphasize arts, outdoor learning, and yes—homework that involves watching cartoons. Meanwhile, his "Goofstead Act" would revitalize neighborhoods through community gardens, block parties, and local involvement in schools.
We meticulously assemble Goofy's dream cabinet, debating which Disney characters would best complement his leadership style. Minnie Mouse earns unanimous approval as Chief of Staff for her organizational prowess, while former opponent Scrooge McDuck heads Treasury. Other inspired picks include Mulan for Defense, Pocahontas for Interior, and Donald Duck as Press Secretary (can you imagine those briefings?).
By the time we reach Goofy's inauguration speech, our silly thought experiment reveals something meaningful: perhaps what America really needs is a leader who reminds us that "we don't need to be perfect to care for each other. Maybe we just need a big heart, an open ear, and courage to do what's right, even if we trip over our own shoes along the way."

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome to Cheers to Ears, and today we
have a great subject we do.
It's kind of silly, it's kindof goofy, it's kind of goofy.
We're talking about.
If Goofy ran for president,what would that look like?
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Let's talk about it.
We don't know.
Well, let's talk about it.
Let's talk about it by drinkinga Bramble.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
A Bramble, and where would we?
At the Disneyland Hotel.
What a great place, what agreat place to have a Bramble.
Yes, right, so Goofy's Kitchenis a all-you-care-to-enjoy kind
of thing right, Breakfast ordinner.
Dinner is $64 per adult, $37 achild, but the alcohol is added
(00:38):
price to that.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It's an added price?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
yes, right.
So let me scroll back down tothe Bramble and it is made with
there.
It is Tito's homemade vodka,chambord agave, nectar syrup,
lime juice and mint, and it's$18 extra.
Okay, under that price.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
We followed that.
We didn't get Chambord, butthat's a raspberry liqueur.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yeah, I thought we had some here, but we did not.
But we got raspberry liqueur.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, I just picked up a bottle with whatever they
had at the store and everythingelse.
The proportions that they gaveit was an ounce a shot,
basically an ounce and a half,of the tito's vodka.
It's at 0.42 ounces of theraspberry liqueur, the chambord,
huh, which was kind of odd.
But yeah, basically I did abouta half shot, because I did one
(01:26):
shot and just poured it in, andthen I did one shot of the agave
nectar because it wanted thesame amount, right, and then one
lime, the juice from one lime,and we put a little piece of
mint on there to garnish it.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Didn't muddle it in.
It couldn't the recipe for aregular bramble.
It wasn't muddled in, so Ididn't do that.
It tastes like the raspberryfilling in a cake.
Okay, like if you buy a cake,that raspberry filling like the
artificial raspberry, yeah stuff.
That's kind of what it tasteslike.
I get that it's, but it's good.
(02:02):
This is really good.
It's just it's sweet.
It's very sweet, very raspberryforward I like it.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I'm down.
I'm down.
I'd order this yeah, let's gobramble I might order if I went
to gooby's kitchen.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I might might want to be the first ones I look at
it's interesting because youknow, when we broke down with
our drinks, okay, we talkedabout fruity drinks, yes, and
what was the other category thatwe went with?
Margaritas, martinis, martinisand then like cocktails, right,
and this kind of fits into thecocktail, but not real well as
(02:35):
far as I.
It doesn't remind it feels likea fruity drink, it's not like a
cocktail, is really alcoholforward, and this isn't alcohol
forward, even though it has ashot and a half of booze in it.
But it's not like a cocktail,is really alcohol forward, and
this isn't alcohol forward, eventhough it has a shot and a half
of booze in it, but it's, Ithink, the sweetness yeah it is.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It is sweet, but it does taste like a hard liquor
drink.
Yeah, like something.
You order the bar like anold-fashioned style yeah, it's
not yeah, it's not totallyalcohol forward like that that
it's in an old-fashioned glass.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
That's how they served it, with crushed ice.
Thank you again, christy, forthe use of your ice.
She had a drink, christy did.
Speaking of Christy, it was acouple months ago and I forgot
what it was.
I have a feeling she would likethis one.
I think she'd like a Brambletoo.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, might have to make her one, Maybe, and when
she gets home tonight we'llthank Christy with a here's a
bramble.
After a hard week here's abramble, and she had a tough one
this week.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Okay.
So all educators, right now,our hearts go out to you because
you're wrapping up your yearand it's always a poop show.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Let's just say this she's not having a problem right
now with any of the children.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's either going to be the kids or the staff.
It's not the staff either,really.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
It's the adults around that are I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's just hard to wrap up because there's a
tension of wrapping everythingup and here's you got this end
date and everything needs to becompleted by this end date.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
It just causes stress , right, and yeah, like
stressful, like goofy would haveyes if he was running for
president and trying to win theelection and you know what he is
right decided he was runningfor president, right so we broke
everything down.
Here's goofy's run from both ofour takes.
We haven't talked about this atall, like always.
No, who knows what we're comingup with.
(04:28):
So I started with campaignslogans.
Did you start the same?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
way, we did talk about this one.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
We talked about what we're going to do, but we didn't
talk about anything.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Not real detailed, but we still followed, like the
same.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, but who we picked or what we're going to
say or no not at all.
So give us, do you have?
I have two campaign slogans.
What do you have?
Okay, Give us some, I have.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I have a few.
Okay, give us some.
So I have classic goofy vibesGorsh for the people.
Okay, Vote goofy.
It couldn't get any goofier.
Okay, one kinder or a kindernation.
One goof at a time.
Mm-hmm, putting the goof at atime, putting the yuck in
democracy, that one didn't makea whole lot of sense.
Let's trip forward together.
(05:07):
I like that one.
Then there's slogans with heart, leadership, with a lopsided
smile falling down, getting backup together.
A vote for goofy is a vote forgoodness.
Oh and wholesome chaos.
Energy, not left, not right,just goofy.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
That's kind of what I have.
Really, I put no more left orright, just goofy, just goofy.
I was going to put no moreDemocrats, but I liked left or
right, but that's funny.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Silly enough to listen, goofy enough to lead.
So those were the ones I cameup with.
What would you have?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Well, I only had two.
I had my.
No more left or right, justgoofy.
That was my main campaignslogan.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
okay, which you also and I think that's his campaign
slogan, and so we've reached aconsensus what else what would
vote for me?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
won't you?
Oh yeah, that's why they're on.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
the only ones who wouldn't are the are all the
pundits right now who aregriping about Disney adults.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Right there's a lot of it out there.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And you know what.
Nobody's complaining about yourhobbies.
Stop complaining about otherpeople's the whiners.
Okay, see, goofy wouldn't givegrief about people's hobbies, no
, he'd be like you want to go toDisneyland as an adult, go
ahead.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Right.
That's why my new nationalholiday was one of his first
campaign promises.
Oh, is national goof off day.
Oh, or all you do is goof offall day.
It's like nationally, like onthis day he has now.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I had chet gpt help me with some of this.
Okay, but he had national pieday.
National pie day, yes.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Everyone deserves a slice of happiness.
I have something like that inmy tax breaks.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Federal Pie Distribution Program yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
We get pies, so I have tax breaks.
This is, under my Joyful Nationpolicy, okay, tax breaks for
companies that produceingredients that go into and
dessert items.
So any dessert if you make,like sugar plants, that kind of
thing, tax breaks.
If you make a dessert, or likeMarie Callender's frozen dinners
(07:17):
, frozen pies, tax breaks, hugetax breaks for these companies
so you can produce more desserts.
And that federal employees mustbreak into dance at random
times during their day.
All federal employees.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Oh, it's mandated do they have to make tiktoks?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
no, no, it's going to be men that have to like.
It's so many times a day youhave to dance, it's gonna be
very encouraged that makeeveryone smile.
Okay, that's my joyful nationpolicy.
What else do you have?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
So free public transit?
Okay, oh, that's good.
Run by cartoons, oh, like RogerRabbit style.
So they tap in.
He taps into Monsters Inc withthe laughing, the giggle, energy
and Launchpad McQuack.
He's the transportation czar, Iwould say.
(08:07):
What about Zootopia?
Oh, yes, because they do.
They have trains that go to allof them, and that's just it.
There's a lot of greattransportation options in Disney
and he wants to bring that toAmerica.
I think it would look like aroller coaster.
It could, yeah, you'd get whereit would work, although a lot
of times he's driving around inlike a jalopy type of car, right
(08:31):
, except for when he and Maxwere trying to get to or go
camping.
Yes, they weren't going to thePowerline concert yet, not yet.
No, they were just goingcamping.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Okay, okay.
So I have my health care plan.
Okay, I call it Goof Carebecause it's a take on Obamacare
, because it's universal, freehealth care for all pets.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Okay, just pets.
See, he focused more on for me,the mental health Okay for
health care.
Yeah, mental health care wasGoofy's focus.
That makes sense.
Yeah, because setting up asilliness hotline?
If you just need, because ofyour mental health, you need to
(09:14):
call someone for some silliness,okay, there's a national
hotline.
Yeah, they'll set up.
And then government-supportedlaughter therapy.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Oh, that's good.
Yeah, that's good, yeah, that'sgood.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Man.
I think if we were both hiscampaign manager, we can come up
with a good one between the twoof us.
So far, yeah, we have a lot ofgood ideas.
I don't think anyone could beatus.
So that's.
Is there any more healthcarepolicies?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
No, more healthcare policies Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
How about education reform?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
It's fun-jocational.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Oh, fun-jocational.
Yes, oh, that's good.
Yes, I can see that in schoolsPosters, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That's good.
So education, it would be anannual field trip to a Disney
park.
Perfect, yeah, that has to bepart of it.
Kind of perfect, yeah, that hasto be part of it.
The music arts very heavy, youknow.
Dance in school.
A lot of outdoors in lieu ofhis like sports activities
getting out yeah very heavyemphasis on outdoors and and
(10:13):
health education right because,as we know from the goofy how-to
movies like skiing and swimming, yeah, those are all important.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Right, I would discourage him opening a flight
school.
No, yeah, I would discouragethat.
No, he's not havingEmbry-Riddle's not going to be
under his Not a goofy mandatedschool.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
How about for?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
education reform, anything else?
Nope, that was pretty much Okay.
My education reform, it's anemphasis on improving arts.
Okay, right, yeah.
And for public universities tohave a new major and a doctorate
program in magic.
Oh, Card tricks, just magictricks.
Yeah, just in general, just soyou can do them in parties.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
The rest of your life .
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You can major in magic, major in magic Right,
have a doctorate in magic.
Animated history taught at allmajor universities, the history
of animation, yeah, that'spretty huge.
Plus K-12, the homeworkinvolves watching more cartoons,
like an edutainment emphasis onany cartoon, like what's the
(11:21):
meaning of this cartoon?
Who drew that character?
Breaking down the cartoons inevery day, what?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
did we learn?
What did we learn from that?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
cartoon, so it's cartoon-based education.
Yeah, all homework has to dowith watching cartoons.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Like learning how to properly.
Well, this isn't disney but,like you said, any cartoon, but
any cartoon.
Wiley coyote blowing himself upwith the dynamite right don't
do that yeah, you learn how toproperly handle dynamite.
Right, he didn't do that.
Yeah, not that you get a handledynamite, but you just learn
how not to right or just not to.
(11:57):
In general, that's my educationreform.
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
So what do you got for economics?
Anything for economics.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Economics.
Well, that has more to do withwho he names as his secretary of
the treasury.
Okay and so.
So we'll talk more about thatlater.
We'll talk more about that.
We'll get into that more later,okay.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I have a couple of things on his own before, even
because so this is before hebecomes president.
Names anybody.
He's running on this.
He's trying you to vote for him.
Yeah, right, he's gonna havetax breaks for the kind yes, yes
, right.
And the theme park tax planmajor tax breaks for building
any theme park rides right, moretheme parks, any theme park
(12:38):
kind of thing will have majortax breaks.
And the government will helpwith subsidies for for to make
it cheaper for people.
Yeah, right, maybe, even, maybe, even given every citizen, like
like, a free pass to a park fora day.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, that could, that could be something, I think
so I didn't write that down,but that could be.
I think that's something hewould work with.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
You know like like we gave money, like we used to get
the check, like the economicplan check, to boost our economy
, I think to boost happiness.
You just give them a day atDisney.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, so one of his.
For me it's he breaks it downto neighbor initiatives.
Neighborhood initiatives it'sthe local community.
So he does.
He's promising to support thelocal community a lot you know.
So community grants and support, kindness projects, shared
(13:30):
gardens, lemonade stands andblock parties oh good idea,
because when trouble hits yourneighbor should be the first
ones you go to.
Right you know he doesn't wantnecessarily people relying on
the federal government having toshow up, so it's things to
encourage where you get to knowyour neighbors.
That's very cool.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
That's something we should do anyway.
Volunteer yes, this is huge,this is a real one.
I mean, you just went deep onthis.
You went from our little sillyepisode to saying something we
should really do in our countryis to get to know our neighbors
more Because, like right now, Ihave the best next-door
neighbors you could ever ask for, right, yes, in the history of
mankind, uh-huh, they're myfavorite people and we should
(14:13):
get to know our neighbors more.
Like the people on the otherside of me, I have no idea who
they are.
He's never even made eyecontact with me when I wave.
Oh, it's like that, right, soyeah.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Interesting.
That's a great one, alsoinvolved with your local schools
.
So if there's work to be doneon the financial, it cuts the
budget because basically theneighborhood or whoever is part
of that school, goes in to dothe repairs.
If it needs to be painted, theygo in.
(14:43):
It saves labor costs and so,yeah, it's just being neighborly
.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I'm going to call it the Homestead Act, like when
they built homesteads.
When everyone used to come andhelp.
Yes, okay, Okay.
Goofy's Homestead Act.
That's not taken.
The Goofstead Act, theGoofstead Act, yeah Right.
So the last one I have isforeign policy.
(15:09):
Okay, I have all.
World peace summits will beheld at Disney parks.
Yes, Because, they can be heldaround the world, and it will be
after.
No talking will be done, nodiscussion and negotiations,
until one park day is complete.
Yes, so everyone must go topark day and not talk any
politics or anything.
Yes, so after they ride, rideseat some food, go to shows, go
(15:29):
to some shows, go see countrybears, yes, and then we'll sit
down.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Then we'll sit down and we'll talk about Right, you
know.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And every meeting will start and end between
nations with a hug.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, I can see that.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, that's all of my policy, goofy is one of the
friendliest characters.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, as a side note, and it's just his way of
politicking.
Okay, but I've never had acharacter like every time I pass
by Goofy, he sticks his handout for a high five or a fist
bump.
Every time I've walked by him,usually it's California
Adventure.
Every time he sees me handcomes out it's either a high
(16:12):
five or a fist bump.
He's a great guy and this iswhat he wants to do.
It's connect with people, right, he's the people's president.
He wants to connect with people, right, he's that.
He's the people's president.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
He wants to connect with people.
We need that.
We need the people's presidentagain, one of those people that
everyone in the country justthere's no reason not to like
him.
There's no reason not to likehim.
No, you could disagree with him, yeah, but there's no reason
not to like him exactly yeah,what are policies you have?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
well, so I did have some climate.
You know policies.
And plant a tree, get a cookie.
Okay, yeah, that was one ofthem.
And Goofy's going to lead byexample.
He's trading in his car for asolar-powered unicycle.
Oh nice, yes, so it'llencourage unicycle riding to and
from your place of work, ifit's possible Some people it's
(16:58):
just not.
But then he's going to increasepublic transportation.
So you know, that's gettingmore cars off of off the streets
and there'll be more trees andmore green spaces are you gonna
like maybe add a unicycle lanes?
yeah certain areas like unicycle, only to make it easier or like
portland did it, where theyhave the bike highways, right.
(17:20):
So those are to keep bicyclesoff of the main streets.
Uh-huh, two blocks over,they'll designate that street as
a bike highway and there'll beno stop signs going in like a
certain direction.
So if it's a major street goingnorth-south, if you go over two
blocks north-south, there areno stop signs.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
So bicycles don't have to come to a stop every
block or every two blocks orsomething.
They can just keep ridingstraight through.
Yeah, so it'll be initiativeslike that.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, what do you think about the unicycle share
plan, where you just pick up aunicycle on the side of the road
and start riding it and pay?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
a certain fee on your app.
Well, I mean unicycle on theside of the road and start
riding it.
Oh yeah, certain fee like onyour app.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Well, I mean there's lots of tax incentives to do
stuff like that.
Okay, yeah, currently right,and I mean the unicycle
dealerships will just go way up.
Oh, they will like like yeah,dick, hannah, unicycle yeah,
dick hannah unicycle yeah yeah,this is like unicycle of
philadelphia of it.
Look, this would be huge yeahyeah, you're boosting the
economy big time right there.
I love it.
(18:23):
So that's our.
That's our.
That's everything we're runningon right.
That's all our campaignpromises and stuff we're saying
we're yeah, well, what else youhave there's.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
So the last thing, this one, just I just remembered
this one.
Okay, national parks, oh yeah,so again, watching his old
cartoons and getting out in theoutdoors.
There's going to be are-emphasis in in national parks
and it maybe not necessarilyexpanding but encouraging people
to go to national parks, whichwill include increased funding.
Okay, trying to decrease thosefees, because it's like 30, 40
(18:55):
bucks to get into a nationalpark for the day, or you have to
buy a year pass for I thinkit's's like $100 or $120 or
something like that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Or just be a veteran yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
That's what you should do?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
You should serve, be a veteran, and then you get a
free pass.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, but will there be any more war with Goofy as
president?
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Probably not, but we already have the veterans that
are already there, already there, already there, already there,
right, but you should havethought of that earlier, people.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Either way it'll be, the goal is to encourage using
those national spaces.
Perfect yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Perfect, so next we have our cabinet.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
And I went.
I don't know how many positionsyou have.
I've tried to do the wholecabinet Six, eight, 10.
I have 12.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Okay, 12 positions.
I was trying to come up withall of them.
I don't know, it's on top of myhead, okay, well, first of all,
who's vice president?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Well, I struggle with this.
Yes, I had to pull work lastnight because I had a couple
other people that would be vicepresident that have different
positions.
Mm-hmm.
So my vice president forreasons that we'll talk about in
a second is pluto.
Okay, pluto's my vice president.
(20:06):
He doesn't say much.
No, he's not opinionated.
No, we're both dogs.
Right, it's a dog campaign.
Yes, right, he's alsomild-mannered.
Okay, he only gets upset withthose crazy chipmunks.
Yes, that like annoy him allthe time oh see, that wouldn't
work.
Because you have Chippendale.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
They have.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
yes, I don't have Chippendale on my cabinet.
So who's your vice president?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Launchpad McQuack.
And this is he appeals, I wouldbelieve, to the veteran.
Okay To the veteran, okay Tothe blue-collar guy, but he's
also going to assure theCalifornia vote.
There's just something abouthim I get that he's going to
lock in the California vote andI think, because he's been
(20:52):
around the world on his tripsand adventures, he's going to
have a little bit better ideawith foreign policy.
He's going to be able to helpon that front, dealing with the
foreign policy.
So that's why I went withLaunchpad and McQuack.
Now, granted, in ways they dohave very similar personalities,
but I think it's a unifiedticket in the fact that these
(21:15):
are both good guys Right.
It's not like, hey, I like thatguy, that's funny, but they got
a scumbag.
Or oh, he's a scumbag but he'sgot a nice guy for a vp.
No, these are two nice guysright, but there are some
differences.
That he brings to the ticketfor helping during election.
California vote, like I said,probably like the whole west
(21:37):
coast vote, but blue collar isgoing to help him with the rust
belt, you know so you're, you'retrying, you're helping to get
elected is your main purpose anda lot of times vp.
That's good.
Yeah, that's a good.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I went with more of a silent.
He won't do anything.
I want more of the waltermondale, dan quayle type vice
president.
Yeah, that who?
Who was he vice president forlike 20 years later?
Was he a vice president?
Yeah, I don't remember if hewas or not.
Yeah, that's my choice.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
And you can go either way, right.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
You really can Right.
Pluto has no aspirations toever be president.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
So who's chief of?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
staff.
Chief of staff.
I have Minnie Mouse, so do Iwhat?
It just makes sense.
Well, she starts off as hiscampaign manager.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yes, I have that too.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Very organized.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You know she keeps things running smoothly.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
And Goofy's going to, he's going to flub up, he just
does you know she's organized,she's fancy, yes, in a way to
help that side of him that hedoesn't have, because the chief
of staff is closer to thepresident than the vice
president.
Really, yes.
Like a right-hand man.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, and that's what Minnie's going to do.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, she's going to sharpen him up and help him with
all those little goof-ups hemakes.
Right, yeah, okay, what's next?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
It's secretary of the treasury.
Okay, what's next?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
It's Secretary of the Treasury.
Okay, who's your?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Secretary of Treasury .
So this one's going to soundcrazy.
Yeah, it was his opponent inthe election.
That's what I was going to dotoo.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Scrooge McDuck Right, I was going to make it his
opponent too.
But I put Scrooge McDuck as theSecretary of Treasury, but he's
not running as the secondtreasury, but he's not running.
I didn't have him running, Ihad him running.
He could run too.
I had him run the whole time,up until just hours before our
episode.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
He lost for the same reason that Nixon lost JFK it
was the likability factor, but avery competent individual,
right.
So he's just going to—because,honestly, I think we don't want
to trust Goofy with financialpolicy too much so we need
somebody who's going tounderstand strong fiscal policy,
(23:46):
and that's why, yeah, scroogeMcDuck.
Now Scrooge McDuck ran againsthim.
Yeah, and it's always one ofthose tricky things to bring in
a former adversary as someone to, but Scrooge understands this
and they're on board.
Yeah, they're on board to worktogether.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Perfect, perfect.
What about Secretary of State?
I had Daisy Duck.
Daisy, she's not on my cabinet.
Yes, daisy Duck, that's a goodone, she's very diplomatic.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, so, secretary of State, you want somebody
who's able to deal with hotheads.
Who's a bigger hothead thanDonald Duck?
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
That's true.
I went more the intelligentside, Like who could be a leader
too.
Okay, Like who probably—thisperson might run for president
next time.
Okay, I think I have Jasmine.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
And I stuck—I didn't venture off the old canon.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Oh I, I went crazy, I went all over the place yeah,
it was because it was a littleoverwhelming.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
So I had to like narrow down what I was thinking.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I was trying to think of my favorite disney character
all around to get the rightplace.
Yeah, that's why I pickedjasmine, because she's a true
leader.
She leads people already and so, secretary of state she'll,
she'll be able to handle thoseother countries very well
because she's from one right.
Yes, right originally.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Right, so she legally can't run for president in our
ways.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
No, she couldn't.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
But who knows, maybe she was born here and then moved
there and became queen.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah, I just thought Daisy could handle dealing with
foreign diplomats, foreigncountries.
I thought she could handle thatvery well she probably can,
yeah, she can defuse situationsextremely well, which frees up
Goofy to handle more domesticpolicy.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Okay, what's next?
Secretary?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
of Defense.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Who do you have?
You go ahead.
Okay, I have.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Mulan Okay, true warrior, one of the best
warriors In Disney Animatedhistory, probably.
So that's why she's my Withoutgoing bad guy.
Yes, you have to go villain Toget a better warrior Than her,
probably.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Well, and you don't want to go villain Because you
don't want a war hawk Right Goofgoofy wouldn't want a war.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
No, mulan's not going to do that.
But if something happens, shewill defend us well.
I think she'll help defend uswell, she'll.
She'll push for a, she'll pushfor a medium-sized defense
budget.
She'll push for, like, like,strengthening our military in a
way to defend us.
Well, she'll know what we needin the future, and she's good at
knowing what's going to happen.
Yeah, so who is your defense?
(26:22):
Do you have a departmentdefense?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I did.
This was one because I wasthinking the inner circle.
This was one I like.
What do you think AI?
And now I don't like what AIpicked.
It picked Darkwing Duck.
Oh yeah, yeah, ryan, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, that's a good one too.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
That would be another good one.
Right, that's a good one, too,and I'm trying to go through all
of them in my head, right?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
All the characters.
So do you want me to go throughthe rest of mine real quick?
Sure go ahead and then you canthink more Sure, if you want to
do that, if you want to gooutside your inner circle and
maybe think of Are good.
Are good yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Okay, how about Secretary of Education Person or
three-way shared post?
Here we do it in a week.
They're young, they're going topush forward education into the
(27:28):
you know 21st even into the22nd century.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
So they're going to push for innovation.
Man, do they go to school?
Even they just skip school allthe time.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I feel like they're too busy.
So they will lost education asit has Evolved as it has been.
They are going to evolve itinto what it should be Okay.
So they're going to be veryforward thinking and thinking
outside the box on educationalanswers.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
They will think outside the box so way more than
my person spaces the space.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
What should be done?
How learning?
Because think of those three,how tough would it be for a
teacher to engage them?
They know that and they'regoing to think of alternatives
for the kids who are justoutside the box.
Right, and that's why they'remy secretary of education.
Yes, jointly.
(28:20):
Yeah, that's funny, okay.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
So mine is going to.
She's going to more withGoofy's like edutainment thing,
right, because she's very hermind is a fantasy.
She's always thinking.
She reads so much that she'salways her mind's in a fantasy
all the time.
I could have went with Rapunzel.
I thought of that for a second,but I went with Belle.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Belle or Rapunzel would be good ones, right?
So if there's like anundersecretary position, yeah.
So if there's like anundersecretary position, yeah,
because, and that would be agood balance, I think, to Huey,
dewey and Louie, yeah, it'sfunny.
It's funny Because, well, andeven if they all work in tandem,
because I think Belle is goingto be the reading, the writing
and arithmetic, those are goingto be her strong points.
(29:04):
The arts are going to be wouldbe Rapunzel's.
So you know, but innovation ineducation, there's Huey, dewey
and Louie.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I want to see where that ends up in four years.
Yeah, that's funny.
How about your secretary ofenvironment?
Do you have one of those?
I didn't.
That's not one you have.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I have secretary of interior and secretary of
agriculture.
What have you are those?
I forgot agriculture.
That's a big one.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, yeah, I missed a couple.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
But is there a Secretary of the Environment?
I think so.
I don't think there is.
There's not.
I don't know.
Let's check.
Hey Siri, is there a Secretaryof the Environment?
Nope, there is in Mexico, nothere in the.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Us wrong country buddy, so not no environment
secretary, what would that?
What would that fall under?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
okay, let's, let's move on.
So secretary of interior, andthis is, I think it's
combination of secretary ofinterior and secretary of
agriculture, so my secretaryinterior was pocahontas, so that
was my secretary.
Secretary of Environment, soI'll go with Interior.
Genuine connection to natureand environment and, like I
(30:14):
talked about the national parks.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Oh, it's the Administrator of the
Environmental Protection Agency.
Okay, that's what I wasthinking, yes, so, secretary of
Interior, you had Pocahontas aswell Pocahontas yeah, and that
just makes sense.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
That's yeah, and it'll keep goofy from turning
national parks into amusementrides.
Yeah, that's an easy one, yeah,yeah, you know, she's a good
person to head that up becausehe wants to focus on national
parks, getting people intonational parks, but not getting
them in there because they'vecreated, you know, the crater
lake coaster.
Right, it's because people wantto connect with nature.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Right, and she'll understand that so okay, what
about health and human?
Speaker 2 (30:54):
services I actually I don't think I had.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I did not have a health and human services, so I
picked someone who isuncontroversial, who's not,
who's not going to like one wayor the other and be all divisive
like our last few have, andthat is doc of the seven dwarves
.
Yeah, he's gonna bestraightforward.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Here's the answer there's no other options no, go
with the best answer.
So, secretary of agriculture,you didn't have that.
No, just so do yours.
Claribel cow, she's a farmerfoodie, that's easy.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I didn't speak of agriculture.
She'll promote sustainablefarming.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah, they're like 14th in line for the presidency,
and we all know that.
Yeah, it would be Claribel Cow,because she knows what the
farmers and the ranchers need.
Okay, secretary ofTransportation.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
So I went hilarious on this one.
This guy's going to try so hard.
He's not the best pick Okay youcan have better, more qualified
people probably but this guy'sgoing to love you every second
of the day and he's going to tryreally hard to do a great job.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Okay, and that's Tow Mater.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Because my first thought was Lightning McQueen,
but I switched it Because I likeTow Mater the job.
He's going to be a greatcabinet member.
The meetings will be fun, yesyes, he'll.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
You know cow tipping on occasion I went with Donald
Duck.
Okay, because so there's a lotof frustration with
transportation and I think he'sjust angry enough to get that
stuff solved, because he willnot quit until it's solved.
Do you think he'll promote roadrage?
(32:43):
I don't think so, because he'llexpand highways Because he's so
frustrated.
Oh, okay, he would get roadrage Right, but I think he'll do
something about it that gearshim towards solving road rage.
Okay, and because understandingthat public transportation will
get people off the roads, he'sgoing to help encourage that as
(33:08):
well.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Okay, what's next?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Who's your attorney general?
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I don't have an attorney general either.
I should have done this off thetop of my head.
I should have looked at thecabinet people, yeah, attorney
general, I've got to do it.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Basil of Baker Street .
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Oh, okay, he's a mouse.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Detective from the Great Mouse.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Detective?
Yeah, that's a good one.
Yeah, who would be my AttorneyGeneral at the top of my head?
Man, I don't know, I don't haveone.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
You know who else would be really good?
Mufasa, I'm picking.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Granted if he weren't dead.
You know who mine's going to bewho?
Well, there's only one greatanswer to this question, because
it's the person that plays thepart and not the part itself.
It's the little green army menfrom toy story as the attorney
(34:01):
general, the guy, just anybecause it's.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
It's arlie emery.
Oh, arlie ermy.
Yeah, yes, I've always said hisname wrong.
I don't know why.
I always thought it was emery,but anyway, I rip.
See, we both picked two deadguys.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yeah, I think he's my , he's my answer, not for the
itself, but for the person whoplays him.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
I was just looking for like police Now Attorney
General, what?
Speaker 1 (34:17):
about Zootopia.
What's her name?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Zootopia.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Judy Hopps, judy Hopps, I like that answer, judy
Hopps.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
She would be very fair, yeah, but I don't know, I
just I don't know if she has thewisdom.
Very fair, yeah, but I don'tknow, I just I don't know if she
has the wisdom.
Now, whoever who was the see,the mayor wants that job.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
I could see the mayor of zootopia.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Yeah, but I like judy hops and the police chief, I
think would make a good oneprobably but really I kind of
want mufasa's wisdom in theattorney general position that
that's a good two yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
That's a good one too .
Speaker 2 (34:52):
But if I had to go with a character who's still
alive, judy Hopp's going to getthere.
I like Judy Hopp, she will, sheabsolutely will.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Yeah, she'll bring vigor into the role.
Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
I like this.
I like Judy Hopp's.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Okay, what else don't I have?
Tell me more kind of positions.
I don't know or don't remember.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
I think oh, press secretary is the only one I have
left.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Okay, so I have a couple other ones, then I guess
maybe Press secretary I haveDonald Duck, because that would
be hilarious.
It's my favorite position,because once the press pisses
him off, his face turns red andhe goes.
Ah, it's great, that's a greatshow.
It'd be comedy to watch presssecretary press meetings at the.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
White House.
That would be good.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Donald Duck is everyone at work thought he
should be my vice president,donald Duck.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I have a shared press secretary Again, a shared job.
It's Chip and Dale Very likableyou have.
It'd be funny, dale, verylikable you have.
That'd be funny.
Like when the press ask aquestion, that's really dumb.
You can have like Dale lookingat them like yeah, and then Chip
, you know, you have somelighthearted banner and then
(36:02):
you've got a guy who can get inthere and give you the real
answers.
Right, yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
That's pretty good.
The only other one I had waswell, no, I had the intelligence
secretary.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Like head of the CIA person.
Director of NationalIntelligence, right DNI, okay
Perry the.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Platypus.
What is he from?
You never seen Phineas and Ferb?
No, I have not.
You are missing out.
It is amazing.
It's one of Eli's favoriteshows ever.
He's a private I007 detectivedude.
He's a platypus.
That's Phineas and Ferb's pet.
They have a pet platypus, okay,but then when Phineas and Ferb
(36:41):
go off and do their crazyadventures, he goes down into a
secret hole that's in adifferent part of their yard
every episode and ends up.
He ends up solving the wholeproblem, usually because he's a
secret detective that he alwaysstops doofenshmirtz from his
plan.
Doofenshmirtz does not likepreparing the platypus at all.
And so then I have secretary oflabor is my last one, oh okay.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
And then I have mickey mouse yeah, I mean
someone who knew walt thatclosely yeah, because he just
going to keep everything on theup and up Right and that's the
end of my cabinet.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
I mean, who knows what the real cabinet looks like
.
We should have looked up whatthe United States cabinet
actually was.
But then the people they runagainst.
So did you have them justrunning against Scrooge McDuck?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
You know who would be the director of national
intelligence, edna.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Yeah, be, oh, yeah, more the director of national
intelligence edna, yeah, fromthe incredibles, she'd be okay,
but perry is great.
Perry is one of the best.
He's a super duper spy.
Okay, you gotta see.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
You gotta see perry first okay, yeah, I will, but
for right now, off the top of myhead, I did I asked chat, gpt,
what they thought?
Yeah, they, they mentioned Zazu, okay, not bad.
They mentioned some others thatdidn't make any sense.
But they didn't mention Edna,which they mentioned, another
character from the Incredibles.
But Edna, I think that's a goodone, right, and Mr Incredible.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Not for D&I, but for another cabinet position.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Okay, so that's our cabinet.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
That's our cabinet.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
So now I just have.
So you just have just runningagainst Scrooge McDuck, and then
Scrooge McDuck accepts the role.
So I put three other peoplethat he's running against, right
, oh, okay.
I just came up with people allthe time this has.
There's no rhyme or reason towhat I did.
Okay, because I thought a goodperson that would want to be
maybe president and would make apretty good president and be a
(38:31):
tough election probably would bethe person he ran against in
the beginning would be Elsa.
So she's not in the cabinet,she's not being taught, he's not
even talking to her aboutcabinet positions.
No, so she kind of wants to bepart of something.
Yeah so she runs for president,all the top bunch of people that
want her to run and stuff, andshe's a bigger leader, kind of
smarter, yeah Right.
(38:52):
And then for hilarity andsomeone who wants to be
president, because why the hecknot?
And we're going to drink everyday in the White House, right,
jack Sparrow.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
And then a surprise candidate came out of nowhere.
I mean, he's not even.
I don't even know where he camefrom.
He's not even in the Disneyuniverse.
But why is Bugs Bunny runningtoo?
Speaker 2 (39:18):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
An outsider.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
That's weird.
Somebody popped in my head.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Jack.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Skellington, that'd be good.
Yeah, I could see him wantingto.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
What's this?
The White?
House is right here and this soI haven't drank.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
I haven't drunk.
We've got about half hours left, so I wanted I asked old AI to
write me Goofy's inaugurationspeech.
Okay, yes, so we'll end withthis, garsh.
Thank you kindly everybody, andI won't do the voice my fellow
Americans and fellow critterstoo.
I stand here today feelingmighty humble and just a little
(40:00):
surprised that y'all picked me atall, floppy-eared fella who
once got his head stuck in amailbox, to be your next
president.
But maybe, maybe that's thepoint.
Maybe we don't need to beperfect to care for each other.
Maybe we just need a big heart,an open ear and courage to do
what's right, even if we tripover our own shoes along the way
(40:21):
.
This country of ours is like abig old family picnic.
Everybody brings something tothe table.
Doesn't matter if it's applepie or potato salad.
What matters is that we share,we listen and we laugh together
when the ants show up.
I may not have all the fancywords or big brainy plans, but I
promise you this I'll wake upevery day trying my goofiest to
(40:43):
make this country kinder, fairerand a little more fun.
I believe in communities whereneighbors help neighbors, not
because they have to, butbecause it and a little more fun
.
I believe in communities whereneighbors help neighbors, not
because they have to, butbecause it feels right in their
hearts.
I believe in kids who stilldream big and old folks who
remember when dreams built thefuture.
And I believe that no matterwho you are if you're a duck, a
dog, a mouse or even a grumpyold cat you deserve to be heard,
(41:07):
respected and maybe eveninvited to dance once in a while
.
So let's roll up our sleevesand sometimes trip over them to
get to work together as one biggoofy nation under the stars and
stripes.
Thank you, god bless y'all andgosh, let's get started.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
I'm right in between emotional and patriotic.
Right now I'm just stuck in themiddle.
Goofy 2028.
Goofy 2028.
Cheers.
Hello and welcome to Cheers to Ears, and today we
have a great subject we do.
It's kind of silly, it's kindof goofy, it's kind of goofy.
We're talking about.
If Goofy ran for president,what would that look like?
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Let's talk about it.
We don't know.
Well, let's talk about it.
Let's talk about it by drinkinga Bramble.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
A Bramble, and where would we?
At the Disneyland Hotel.
What a great place, what agreat place to have a Bramble.
Yes, right, so Goofy's Kitchenis a all-you-care-to-enjoy kind
of thing right, Breakfast ordinner.
Dinner is $64 per adult, $37 achild, but the alcohol is added
(00:38):
price to that.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
It's an added price?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
yes, right.
So let me scroll back down tothe Bramble and it is made with
there.
It is Tito's homemade vodka,chambord agave, nectar syrup,
lime juice and mint, and it's$18 extra.
Okay, under that price.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
We followed that.
We didn't get Chambord, butthat's a raspberry liqueur.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yeah, I thought we had some here, but we did not.
But we got raspberry liqueur.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, I just picked up a bottle with whatever they
had at the store and everythingelse.
The proportions that they gaveit was an ounce a shot,
basically an ounce and a half,of the tito's vodka.
It's at 0.42 ounces of theraspberry liqueur, the chambord,
huh, which was kind of odd.
But yeah, basically I did abouta half shot, because I did one
(01:26):
shot and just poured it in, andthen I did one shot of the agave
nectar because it wanted thesame amount, right, and then one
lime, the juice from one lime,and we put a little piece of
mint on there to garnish it.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Didn't muddle it in.
It couldn't the recipe for aregular bramble.
It wasn't muddled in, so Ididn't do that.
It tastes like the raspberryfilling in a cake.
Okay, like if you buy a cake,that raspberry filling like the
artificial raspberry, yeah stuff.
That's kind of what it tasteslike.
I get that it's, but it's good.
(02:02):
This is really good.
It's just it's sweet.
It's very sweet, very raspberryforward I like it.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I'm down.
I'm down.
I'd order this yeah, let's gobramble I might order if I went
to gooby's kitchen.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I might might want to be the first ones I look at
it's interesting because youknow, when we broke down with
our drinks, okay, we talkedabout fruity drinks, yes, and
what was the other category thatwe went with?
Margaritas, martinis, martinisand then like cocktails, right,
and this kind of fits into thecocktail, but not real well as
(02:35):
far as I.
It doesn't remind it feels likea fruity drink, it's not like a
cocktail, is really alcoholforward, and this isn't alcohol
forward, even though it has ashot and a half of booze in it.
But it's not like a cocktail,is really alcohol forward, and
this isn't alcohol forward, eventhough it has a shot and a half
of booze in it, but it's, Ithink, the sweetness yeah it is.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It is sweet, but it does taste like a hard liquor
drink.
Yeah, like something.
You order the bar like anold-fashioned style yeah, it's
not yeah, it's not totallyalcohol forward like that that
it's in an old-fashioned glass.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
That's how they served it, with crushed ice.
Thank you again, christy, forthe use of your ice.
She had a drink, christy did.
Speaking of Christy, it was acouple months ago and I forgot
what it was.
I have a feeling she would likethis one.
I think she'd like a Brambletoo.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, might have to make her one, Maybe, and when
she gets home tonight we'llthank Christy with a here's a
bramble.
After a hard week here's abramble, and she had a tough one
this week.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Okay.
So all educators, right now,our hearts go out to you because
you're wrapping up your yearand it's always a poop show.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Let's just say this she's not having a problem right
now with any of the children.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It's either going to be the kids or the staff.
It's not the staff either,really.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
It's the adults around that are I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's just hard to wrap up because there's a
tension of wrapping everythingup and here's you got this end
date and everything needs to becompleted by this end date.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
It just causes stress , right, and yeah, like
stressful, like goofy would haveyes if he was running for
president and trying to win theelection and you know what he is
right decided he was runningfor president, right so we broke
everything down.
Here's goofy's run from both ofour takes.
We haven't talked about this atall, like always.
No, who knows what we're comingup with.
(04:28):
So I started with campaignslogans.
Did you start the same?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
way, we did talk about this one.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
We talked about what we're going to do, but we didn't
talk about anything.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Not real detailed, but we still followed, like the
same.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, but who we picked or what we're going to
say or no not at all.
So give us, do you have?
I have two campaign slogans.
What do you have?
Okay, Give us some, I have.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I have a few.
Okay, give us some.
So I have classic goofy vibesGorsh for the people.
Okay, Vote goofy.
It couldn't get any goofier.
Okay, one kinder or a kindernation.
One goof at a time.
Mm-hmm, putting the goof at atime, putting the yuck in
democracy, that one didn't makea whole lot of sense.
Let's trip forward together.
(05:07):
I like that one.
Then there's slogans with heart, leadership, with a lopsided
smile falling down, getting backup together.
A vote for goofy is a vote forgoodness.
Oh and wholesome chaos.
Energy, not left, not right,just goofy.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
That's kind of what I have.
Really, I put no more left orright, just goofy, just goofy.
I was going to put no moreDemocrats, but I liked left or
right, but that's funny.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Silly enough to listen, goofy enough to lead.
So those were the ones I cameup with.
What would you have?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Well, I only had two.
I had my.
No more left or right, justgoofy.
That was my main campaignslogan.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
okay, which you also and I think that's his campaign
slogan, and so we've reached aconsensus what else what would
vote for me?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
won't you?
Oh yeah, that's why they're on.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
the only ones who wouldn't are the are all the
pundits right now who aregriping about Disney adults.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Right there's a lot of it out there.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And you know what.
Nobody's complaining about yourhobbies.
Stop complaining about otherpeople's the whiners.
Okay, see, goofy wouldn't givegrief about people's hobbies, no
, he'd be like you want to go toDisneyland as an adult, go
ahead.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Right.
That's why my new nationalholiday was one of his first
campaign promises.
Oh, is national goof off day.
Oh, or all you do is goof offall day.
It's like nationally, like onthis day he has now.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I had chet gpt help me with some of this.
Okay, but he had national pieday.
National pie day, yes.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Everyone deserves a slice of happiness.
I have something like that inmy tax breaks.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Federal Pie Distribution Program yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
We get pies, so I have tax breaks.
This is, under my Joyful Nationpolicy, okay, tax breaks for
companies that produceingredients that go into and
dessert items.
So any dessert if you make,like sugar plants, that kind of
thing, tax breaks.
If you make a dessert, or likeMarie Callender's frozen dinners
(07:17):
, frozen pies, tax breaks, hugetax breaks for these companies
so you can produce more desserts.
And that federal employees mustbreak into dance at random
times during their day.
All federal employees.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Oh, it's mandated do they have to make tiktoks?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
no, no, it's going to be men that have to like.
It's so many times a day youhave to dance, it's gonna be
very encouraged that makeeveryone smile.
Okay, that's my joyful nationpolicy.
What else do you have?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
So free public transit?
Okay, oh, that's good.
Run by cartoons, oh, like RogerRabbit style.
So they tap in.
He taps into Monsters Inc withthe laughing, the giggle, energy
and Launchpad McQuack.
He's the transportation czar, Iwould say.
(08:07):
What about Zootopia?
Oh, yes, because they do.
They have trains that go to allof them, and that's just it.
There's a lot of greattransportation options in Disney
and he wants to bring that toAmerica.
I think it would look like aroller coaster.
It could, yeah, you'd get whereit would work, although a lot
of times he's driving around inlike a jalopy type of car, right
(08:31):
, except for when he and Maxwere trying to get to or go
camping.
Yes, they weren't going to thePowerline concert yet, not yet.
No, they were just goingcamping.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Okay, okay.
So I have my health care plan.
Okay, I call it Goof Carebecause it's a take on Obamacare
, because it's universal, freehealth care for all pets.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Okay, just pets.
See, he focused more on for me,the mental health Okay for
health care.
Yeah, mental health care wasGoofy's focus.
That makes sense.
Yeah, because setting up asilliness hotline?
If you just need, because ofyour mental health, you need to
(09:14):
call someone for some silliness,okay, there's a national
hotline.
Yeah, they'll set up.
And then government-supportedlaughter therapy.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Oh, that's good.
Yeah, that's good, yeah, that'sgood.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Man.
I think if we were both hiscampaign manager, we can come up
with a good one between the twoof us.
So far, yeah, we have a lot ofgood ideas.
I don't think anyone could beatus.
So that's.
Is there any more healthcarepolicies?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
No, more healthcare policies Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
How about education reform?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
It's fun-jocational.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Oh, fun-jocational.
Yes, oh, that's good.
Yes, I can see that in schoolsPosters, yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That's good.
So education, it would be anannual field trip to a Disney
park.
Perfect, yeah, that has to bepart of it.
Kind of perfect, yeah, that hasto be part of it.
The music arts very heavy, youknow.
Dance in school.
A lot of outdoors in lieu ofhis like sports activities
getting out yeah very heavyemphasis on outdoors and and
(10:13):
health education right because,as we know from the goofy how-to
movies like skiing and swimming, yeah, those are all important.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Right, I would discourage him opening a flight
school.
No, yeah, I would discouragethat.
No, he's not havingEmbry-Riddle's not going to be
under his Not a goofy mandatedschool.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
How about for?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
education reform, anything else?
Nope, that was pretty much Okay.
My education reform, it's anemphasis on improving arts.
Okay, right, yeah.
And for public universities tohave a new major and a doctorate
program in magic.
Oh, Card tricks, just magictricks.
Yeah, just in general, just soyou can do them in parties.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
The rest of your life .
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You can major in magic, major in magic Right,
have a doctorate in magic.
Animated history taught at allmajor universities, the history
of animation, yeah, that'spretty huge.
Plus K-12, the homeworkinvolves watching more cartoons,
like an edutainment emphasis onany cartoon, like what's the
(11:21):
meaning of this cartoon?
Who drew that character?
Breaking down the cartoons inevery day, what?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
did we learn?
What did we learn from that?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
cartoon, so it's cartoon-based education.
Yeah, all homework has to dowith watching cartoons.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Like learning how to properly.
Well, this isn't disney but,like you said, any cartoon, but
any cartoon.
Wiley coyote blowing himself upwith the dynamite right don't
do that yeah, you learn how toproperly handle dynamite.
Right, he didn't do that.
Yeah, not that you get a handledynamite, but you just learn
how not to right or just not to.
(11:57):
In general, that's my educationreform.
Okay.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
So what do you got for economics?
Anything for economics.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Economics.
Well, that has more to do withwho he names as his secretary of
the treasury.
Okay and so.
So we'll talk more about thatlater.
We'll talk more about that.
We'll get into that more later,okay.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I have a couple of things on his own before, even
because so this is before hebecomes president.
Names anybody.
He's running on this.
He's trying you to vote for him.
Yeah, right, he's gonna havetax breaks for the kind yes, yes
, right.
And the theme park tax planmajor tax breaks for building
any theme park rides right, moretheme parks, any theme park
(12:38):
kind of thing will have majortax breaks.
And the government will helpwith subsidies for for to make
it cheaper for people.
Yeah, right, maybe, even, maybe, even given every citizen, like
like, a free pass to a park fora day.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, that could, that could be something, I think
so I didn't write that down,but that could be.
I think that's something hewould work with.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
You know like like we gave money, like we used to get
the check, like the economicplan check, to boost our economy
, I think to boost happiness.
You just give them a day atDisney.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, so one of his.
For me it's he breaks it downto neighbor initiatives.
Neighborhood initiatives it'sthe local community.
So he does.
He's promising to support thelocal community a lot you know.
So community grants and support, kindness projects, shared
(13:30):
gardens, lemonade stands andblock parties oh good idea,
because when trouble hits yourneighbor should be the first
ones you go to.
Right you know he doesn't wantnecessarily people relying on
the federal government having toshow up, so it's things to
encourage where you get to knowyour neighbors.
That's very cool.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
That's something we should do anyway.
Volunteer yes, this is huge,this is a real one.
I mean, you just went deep onthis.
You went from our little sillyepisode to saying something we
should really do in our countryis to get to know our neighbors
more Because, like right now, Ihave the best next-door
neighbors you could ever ask for, right, yes, in the history of
mankind, uh-huh, they're myfavorite people and we should
(14:13):
get to know our neighbors more.
Like the people on the otherside of me, I have no idea who
they are.
He's never even made eyecontact with me when I wave.
Oh, it's like that, right, soyeah.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Interesting.
That's a great one, alsoinvolved with your local schools
.
So if there's work to be doneon the financial, it cuts the
budget because basically theneighborhood or whoever is part
of that school, goes in to dothe repairs.
If it needs to be painted, theygo in.
(14:43):
It saves labor costs and so,yeah, it's just being neighborly
.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I'm going to call it the Homestead Act, like when
they built homesteads.
When everyone used to come andhelp.
Yes, okay, Okay.
Goofy's Homestead Act.
That's not taken.
The Goofstead Act, theGoofstead Act, yeah Right.
So the last one I have isforeign policy.
(15:09):
Okay, I have all.
World peace summits will beheld at Disney parks.
Yes, Because, they can be heldaround the world, and it will be
after.
No talking will be done, nodiscussion and negotiations,
until one park day is complete.
Yes, so everyone must go topark day and not talk any
politics or anything.
Yes, so after they ride, rideseat some food, go to shows, go
(15:29):
to some shows, go see countrybears, yes, and then we'll sit
down.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Then we'll sit down and we'll talk about Right, you
know.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
And every meeting will start and end between
nations with a hug.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, I can see that.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, that's all of my policy, goofy is one of the
friendliest characters.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, as a side note, and it's just his way of
politicking.
Okay, but I've never had acharacter like every time I pass
by Goofy, he sticks his handout for a high five or a fist
bump.
Every time I've walked by him,usually it's California
Adventure.
Every time he sees me handcomes out it's either a high
(16:12):
five or a fist bump.
He's a great guy and this iswhat he wants to do.
It's connect with people, right, he's the people's president.
He wants to connect with people, right, he's that.
He's the people's president.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
He wants to connect with people.
We need that.
We need the people's presidentagain, one of those people that
everyone in the country justthere's no reason not to like
him.
There's no reason not to likehim.
No, you could disagree with him, yeah, but there's no reason
not to like him exactly yeah,what are policies you have?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
well, so I did have some climate.
You know policies.
And plant a tree, get a cookie.
Okay, yeah, that was one ofthem.
And Goofy's going to lead byexample.
He's trading in his car for asolar-powered unicycle.
Oh nice, yes, so it'llencourage unicycle riding to and
from your place of work, ifit's possible Some people it's
(16:58):
just not.
But then he's going to increasepublic transportation.
So you know, that's gettingmore cars off of off the streets
and there'll be more trees andmore green spaces are you gonna
like maybe add a unicycle lanes?
yeah certain areas like unicycle, only to make it easier or like
portland did it, where theyhave the bike highways, right.
(17:20):
So those are to keep bicyclesoff of the main streets.
Uh-huh, two blocks over,they'll designate that street as
a bike highway and there'll beno stop signs going in like a
certain direction.
So if it's a major street goingnorth-south, if you go over two
blocks north-south, there areno stop signs.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
So bicycles don't have to come to a stop every
block or every two blocks orsomething.
They can just keep ridingstraight through.
Yeah, so it'll be initiativeslike that.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, what do you think about the unicycle share
plan, where you just pick up aunicycle on the side of the road
and start riding it and pay?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
a certain fee on your app.
Well, I mean unicycle on theside of the road and start
riding it.
Oh yeah, certain fee like onyour app.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Well, I mean there's lots of tax incentives to do
stuff like that.
Okay, yeah, currently right,and I mean the unicycle
dealerships will just go way up.
Oh, they will like like yeah,dick, hannah, unicycle yeah,
dick hannah unicycle yeah yeah,this is like unicycle of
philadelphia of it.
Look, this would be huge yeahyeah, you're boosting the
economy big time right there.
I love it.
(18:23):
So that's our.
That's our.
That's everything we're runningon right.
That's all our campaignpromises and stuff we're saying
we're yeah, well, what else youhave there's.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
So the last thing, this one, just I just remembered
this one.
Okay, national parks, oh yeah,so again, watching his old
cartoons and getting out in theoutdoors.
There's going to be are-emphasis in in national parks
and it maybe not necessarilyexpanding but encouraging people
to go to national parks, whichwill include increased funding.
Okay, trying to decrease thosefees, because it's like 30, 40
(18:55):
bucks to get into a nationalpark for the day, or you have to
buy a year pass for I thinkit's's like $100 or $120 or
something like that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Or just be a veteran yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
That's what you should do?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
You should serve, be a veteran, and then you get a
free pass.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Yeah, but will there be any more war with Goofy as
president?
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Probably not, but we already have the veterans that
are already there, already there, already there, already there,
right, but you should havethought of that earlier, people.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Either way it'll be, the goal is to encourage using
those national spaces.
Perfect yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Perfect, so next we have our cabinet.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
And I went.
I don't know how many positionsyou have.
I've tried to do the wholecabinet Six, eight, 10.
I have 12.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Okay, 12 positions.
I was trying to come up withall of them.
I don't know, it's on top of myhead, okay, well, first of all,
who's vice president?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Well, I struggle with this.
Yes, I had to pull work lastnight because I had a couple
other people that would be vicepresident that have different
positions.
Mm-hmm.
So my vice president forreasons that we'll talk about in
a second is pluto.
Okay, pluto's my vice president.
(20:06):
He doesn't say much.
No, he's not opinionated.
No, we're both dogs.
Right, it's a dog campaign.
Yes, right, he's alsomild-mannered.
Okay, he only gets upset withthose crazy chipmunks.
Yes, that like annoy him allthe time oh see, that wouldn't
work.
Because you have Chippendale.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
They have.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
yes, I don't have Chippendale on my cabinet.
So who's your vice president?
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Launchpad McQuack.
And this is he appeals, I wouldbelieve, to the veteran.
Okay To the veteran, okay Tothe blue-collar guy, but he's
also going to assure theCalifornia vote.
There's just something abouthim I get that he's going to
lock in the California vote andI think, because he's been
(20:52):
around the world on his tripsand adventures, he's going to
have a little bit better ideawith foreign policy.
He's going to be able to helpon that front, dealing with the
foreign policy.
So that's why I went withLaunchpad and McQuack.
Now, granted, in ways they dohave very similar personalities,
but I think it's a unifiedticket in the fact that these
(21:15):
are both good guys Right.
It's not like, hey, I like thatguy, that's funny, but they got
a scumbag.
Or oh, he's a scumbag but he'sgot a nice guy for a vp.
No, these are two nice guysright, but there are some
differences.
That he brings to the ticketfor helping during election.
California vote, like I said,probably like the whole west
(21:37):
coast vote, but blue collar isgoing to help him with the rust
belt, you know so you're, you'retrying, you're helping to get
elected is your main purpose anda lot of times vp.
That's good.
Yeah, that's a good.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I went with more of a silent.
He won't do anything.
I want more of the waltermondale, dan quayle type vice
president.
Yeah, that who?
Who was he vice president forlike 20 years later?
Was he a vice president?
Yeah, I don't remember if hewas or not.
Yeah, that's my choice.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
And you can go either way, right.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
You really can Right.
Pluto has no aspirations toever be president.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
So who's chief of?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
staff.
Chief of staff.
I have Minnie Mouse, so do Iwhat?
It just makes sense.
Well, she starts off as hiscampaign manager.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yes, I have that too.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Very organized.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
You know she keeps things running smoothly.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
And Goofy's going to, he's going to flub up, he just
does you know she's organized,she's fancy, yes, in a way to
help that side of him that hedoesn't have, because the chief
of staff is closer to thepresident than the vice
president.
Really, yes.
Like a right-hand man.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, and that's what Minnie's going to do.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, she's going to sharpen him up and help him with
all those little goof-ups hemakes.
Right, yeah, okay, what's next?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
It's secretary of the treasury.
Okay, what's next?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
It's Secretary of the Treasury.
Okay, who's your?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Secretary of Treasury .
So this one's going to soundcrazy.
Yeah, it was his opponent inthe election.
That's what I was going to dotoo.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Scrooge McDuck Right, I was going to make it his
opponent too.
But I put Scrooge McDuck as theSecretary of Treasury, but he's
not running as the secondtreasury, but he's not running.
I didn't have him running, Ihad him running.
He could run too.
I had him run the whole time,up until just hours before our
episode.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
He lost for the same reason that Nixon lost JFK it
was the likability factor, but avery competent individual,
right.
So he's just going to—because,honestly, I think we don't want
to trust Goofy with financialpolicy too much so we need
somebody who's going tounderstand strong fiscal policy,
(23:46):
and that's why, yeah, scroogeMcDuck.
Now Scrooge McDuck ran againsthim.
Yeah, and it's always one ofthose tricky things to bring in
a former adversary as someone to, but Scrooge understands this
and they're on board.
Yeah, they're on board to worktogether.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Perfect, perfect.
What about Secretary of State?
I had Daisy Duck.
Daisy, she's not on my cabinet.
Yes, daisy Duck, that's a goodone, she's very diplomatic.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, so, secretary of State, you want somebody
who's able to deal with hotheads.
Who's a bigger hothead thanDonald Duck?
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
That's true.
I went more the intelligentside, Like who could be a leader
too.
Okay, Like who probably—thisperson might run for president
next time.
Okay, I think I have Jasmine.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
And I stuck—I didn't venture off the old canon.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Oh I, I went crazy, I went all over the place yeah,
it was because it was a littleoverwhelming.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
So I had to like narrow down what I was thinking.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I was trying to think of my favorite disney character
all around to get the rightplace.
Yeah, that's why I pickedjasmine, because she's a true
leader.
She leads people already and so, secretary of state she'll,
she'll be able to handle thoseother countries very well
because she's from one right.
Yes, right originally.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Right, so she legally can't run for president in our
ways.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
No, she couldn't.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
But who knows, maybe she was born here and then moved
there and became queen.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah, I just thought Daisy could handle dealing with
foreign diplomats, foreigncountries.
I thought she could handle thatvery well she probably can,
yeah, she can defuse situationsextremely well, which frees up
Goofy to handle more domesticpolicy.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Okay, what's next?
Secretary?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
of Defense.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Who do you have?
You go ahead.
Okay, I have.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Mulan Okay, true warrior, one of the best
warriors In Disney Animatedhistory, probably.
So that's why she's my Withoutgoing bad guy.
Yes, you have to go villain Toget a better warrior Than her,
probably.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Well, and you don't want to go villain Because you
don't want a war hawk Right Goofgoofy wouldn't want a war.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
No, mulan's not going to do that.
But if something happens, shewill defend us well.
I think she'll help defend uswell, she'll.
She'll push for a, she'll pushfor a medium-sized defense
budget.
She'll push for, like, like,strengthening our military in a
way to defend us.
Well, she'll know what we needin the future, and she's good at
knowing what's going to happen.
Yeah, so who is your defense?
(26:22):
Do you have a departmentdefense?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I did.
This was one because I wasthinking the inner circle.
This was one I like.
What do you think AI?
And now I don't like what AIpicked.
It picked Darkwing Duck.
Oh yeah, yeah, ryan, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, that's a good one too.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
That would be another good one.
Right, that's a good one, too,and I'm trying to go through all
of them in my head, right?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
All the characters.
So do you want me to go throughthe rest of mine real quick?
Sure go ahead and then you canthink more Sure, if you want to
do that, if you want to gooutside your inner circle and
maybe think of Are good.
Are good yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Okay, how about Secretary of Education Person or
three-way shared post?
Here we do it in a week.
They're young, they're going topush forward education into the
(27:28):
you know 21st even into the22nd century.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
So they're going to push for innovation.
Man, do they go to school?
Even they just skip school allthe time.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I feel like they're too busy.
So they will lost education asit has Evolved as it has been.
They are going to evolve itinto what it should be Okay.
So they're going to be veryforward thinking and thinking
outside the box on educationalanswers.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
They will think outside the box so way more than
my person spaces the space.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
What should be done?
How learning?
Because think of those three,how tough would it be for a
teacher to engage them?
They know that and they'regoing to think of alternatives
for the kids who are justoutside the box.
Right, and that's why they'remy secretary of education.
Yes, jointly.
(28:20):
Yeah, that's funny, okay.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
So mine is going to.
She's going to more withGoofy's like edutainment thing,
right, because she's very hermind is a fantasy.
She's always thinking.
She reads so much that she'salways her mind's in a fantasy
all the time.
I could have went with Rapunzel.
I thought of that for a second,but I went with Belle.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Belle or Rapunzel would be good ones, right?
So if there's like anundersecretary position, yeah.
So if there's like anundersecretary position, yeah,
because, and that would be agood balance, I think, to Huey,
dewey and Louie, yeah, it'sfunny.
It's funny Because, well, andeven if they all work in tandem,
because I think Belle is goingto be the reading, the writing
and arithmetic, those are goingto be her strong points.
(29:04):
The arts are going to be wouldbe Rapunzel's.
So you know, but innovation ineducation, there's Huey, dewey
and Louie.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I want to see where that ends up in four years.
Yeah, that's funny.
How about your secretary ofenvironment?
Do you have one of those?
I didn't.
That's not one you have.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I have secretary of interior and secretary of
agriculture.
What have you are those?
I forgot agriculture.
That's a big one.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, yeah, I missed a couple.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
But is there a Secretary of the Environment?
I think so.
I don't think there is.
There's not.
I don't know.
Let's check.
Hey Siri, is there a Secretaryof the Environment?
Nope, there is in Mexico, nothere in the.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Us wrong country buddy, so not no environment
secretary, what would that?
What would that fall under?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
okay, let's, let's move on.
So secretary of interior, andthis is, I think it's
combination of secretary ofinterior and secretary of
agriculture, so my secretaryinterior was pocahontas, so that
was my secretary.
Secretary of Environment, soI'll go with Interior.
Genuine connection to natureand environment and, like I
(30:14):
talked about the national parks.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Oh, it's the Administrator of the
Environmental Protection Agency.
Okay, that's what I wasthinking, yes, so, secretary of
Interior, you had Pocahontas aswell Pocahontas yeah, and that
just makes sense.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
That's yeah, and it'll keep goofy from turning
national parks into amusementrides.
Yeah, that's an easy one, yeah,yeah, you know, she's a good
person to head that up becausehe wants to focus on national
parks, getting people intonational parks, but not getting
them in there because they'vecreated, you know, the crater
lake coaster.
Right, it's because people wantto connect with nature.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Right, and she'll understand that so okay, what
about health and human?
Speaker 2 (30:54):
services I actually I don't think I had.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
I did not have a health and human services, so I
picked someone who isuncontroversial, who's not,
who's not going to like one wayor the other and be all divisive
like our last few have, andthat is doc of the seven dwarves
.
Yeah, he's gonna bestraightforward.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Here's the answer there's no other options no, go
with the best answer.
So, secretary of agriculture,you didn't have that.
No, just so do yours.
Claribel cow, she's a farmerfoodie, that's easy.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
I didn't speak of agriculture.
She'll promote sustainablefarming.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yeah, they're like 14th in line for the presidency,
and we all know that.
Yeah, it would be Claribel Cow,because she knows what the
farmers and the ranchers need.
Okay, secretary ofTransportation.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
So I went hilarious on this one.
This guy's going to try so hard.
He's not the best pick Okay youcan have better, more qualified
people probably but this guy'sgoing to love you every second
of the day and he's going to tryreally hard to do a great job.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Okay, and that's Tow Mater.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Because my first thought was Lightning McQueen,
but I switched it Because I likeTow Mater the job.
He's going to be a greatcabinet member.
The meetings will be fun, yesyes, he'll.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
You know cow tipping on occasion I went with Donald
Duck.
Okay, because so there's a lotof frustration with
transportation and I think he'sjust angry enough to get that
stuff solved, because he willnot quit until it's solved.
Do you think he'll promote roadrage?
(32:43):
I don't think so, because he'llexpand highways Because he's so
frustrated.
Oh, okay, he would get roadrage Right, but I think he'll do
something about it that gearshim towards solving road rage.
Okay, and because understandingthat public transportation will
get people off the roads, he'sgoing to help encourage that as
(33:08):
well.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Okay, what's next?
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Who's your attorney general?
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I don't have an attorney general either.
I should have done this off thetop of my head.
I should have looked at thecabinet people, yeah, attorney
general, I've got to do it.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Basil of Baker Street .
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Oh, okay, he's a mouse.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Detective from the Great Mouse.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Detective?
Yeah, that's a good one.
Yeah, who would be my AttorneyGeneral at the top of my head?
Man, I don't know, I don't haveone.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
You know who else would be really good?
Mufasa, I'm picking.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Granted if he weren't dead.
You know who mine's going to bewho?
Well, there's only one greatanswer to this question, because
it's the person that plays thepart and not the part itself.
It's the little green army menfrom toy story as the attorney
(34:01):
general, the guy, just anybecause it's.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
It's arlie emery.
Oh, arlie ermy.
Yeah, yes, I've always said hisname wrong.
I don't know why.
I always thought it was emery,but anyway, I rip.
See, we both picked two deadguys.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yeah, I think he's my , he's my answer, not for the
itself, but for the person whoplays him.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
I was just looking for like police Now Attorney
General, what?
Speaker 1 (34:17):
about Zootopia.
What's her name?
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Zootopia.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Judy Hopps, judy Hopps, I like that answer, judy
Hopps.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
She would be very fair, yeah, but I don't know, I
just I don't know if she has thewisdom.
Very fair, yeah, but I don'tknow, I just I don't know if she
has the wisdom.
Now, whoever who was the see,the mayor wants that job.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
I could see the mayor of zootopia.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Yeah, but I like judy hops and the police chief, I
think would make a good oneprobably but really I kind of
want mufasa's wisdom in theattorney general position that
that's a good two yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
That's a good one too .
Speaker 2 (34:52):
But if I had to go with a character who's still
alive, judy Hopp's going to getthere.
I like Judy Hopp, she will, sheabsolutely will.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Yeah, she'll bring vigor into the role.
Yes, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
I like this.
I like Judy Hopp's.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Okay, what else don't I have?
Tell me more kind of positions.
I don't know or don't remember.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
I think oh, press secretary is the only one I have
left.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Okay, so I have a couple other ones, then I guess
maybe Press secretary I haveDonald Duck, because that would
be hilarious.
It's my favorite position,because once the press pisses
him off, his face turns red andhe goes.
Ah, it's great, that's a greatshow.
It'd be comedy to watch presssecretary press meetings at the.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
White House.
That would be good.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Donald Duck is everyone at work thought he
should be my vice president,donald Duck.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
I have a shared press secretary Again, a shared job.
It's Chip and Dale Very likableyou have.
It'd be funny, dale, verylikable you have.
That'd be funny.
Like when the press ask aquestion, that's really dumb.
You can have like Dale lookingat them like yeah, and then Chip
, you know, you have somelighthearted banner and then
(36:02):
you've got a guy who can get inthere and give you the real
answers.
Right, yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
That's pretty good.
The only other one I had waswell, no, I had the intelligence
secretary.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Like head of the CIA person.
Director of NationalIntelligence, right DNI, okay
Perry the.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Platypus.
What is he from?
You never seen Phineas and Ferb?
No, I have not.
You are missing out.
It is amazing.
It's one of Eli's favoriteshows ever.
He's a private I007 detectivedude.
He's a platypus.
That's Phineas and Ferb's pet.
They have a pet platypus, okay,but then when Phineas and Ferb
(36:41):
go off and do their crazyadventures, he goes down into a
secret hole that's in adifferent part of their yard
every episode and ends up.
He ends up solving the wholeproblem, usually because he's a
secret detective that he alwaysstops doofenshmirtz from his
plan.
Doofenshmirtz does not likepreparing the platypus at all.
And so then I have secretary oflabor is my last one, oh okay.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
And then I have mickey mouse yeah, I mean
someone who knew walt thatclosely yeah, because he just
going to keep everything on theup and up Right and that's the
end of my cabinet.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
I mean, who knows what the real cabinet looks like
.
We should have looked up whatthe United States cabinet
actually was.
But then the people they runagainst.
So did you have them justrunning against Scrooge McDuck?
Speaker 2 (37:24):
You know who would be the director of national
intelligence, edna.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Yeah, be, oh, yeah, more the director of national
intelligence edna, yeah, fromthe incredibles, she'd be okay,
but perry is great.
Perry is one of the best.
He's a super duper spy.
Okay, you gotta see.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
You gotta see perry first okay, yeah, I will, but
for right now, off the top of myhead, I did I asked chat, gpt,
what they thought?
Yeah, they, they mentioned Zazu, okay, not bad.
They mentioned some others thatdidn't make any sense.
But they didn't mention Edna,which they mentioned, another
character from the Incredibles.
But Edna, I think that's a goodone, right, and Mr Incredible.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Not for D&I, but for another cabinet position.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Okay, so that's our cabinet.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
That's our cabinet.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
So now I just have.
So you just have just runningagainst Scrooge McDuck, and then
Scrooge McDuck accepts the role.
So I put three other peoplethat he's running against, right
, oh, okay.
I just came up with people allthe time this has.
There's no rhyme or reason towhat I did.
Okay, because I thought a goodperson that would want to be
maybe president and would make apretty good president and be a
(38:31):
tough election probably would bethe person he ran against in
the beginning would be Elsa.
So she's not in the cabinet,she's not being taught, he's not
even talking to her aboutcabinet positions.
No, so she kind of wants to bepart of something.
Yeah so she runs for president,all the top bunch of people that
want her to run and stuff, andshe's a bigger leader, kind of
smarter, yeah Right.
(38:52):
And then for hilarity andsomeone who wants to be
president, because why the hecknot?
And we're going to drink everyday in the White House, right,
jack Sparrow.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
And then a surprise candidate came out of nowhere.
I mean, he's not even.
I don't even know where he camefrom.
He's not even in the Disneyuniverse.
But why is Bugs Bunny runningtoo?
Speaker 2 (39:18):
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
An outsider.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
That's weird.
Somebody popped in my head.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Jack.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Skellington, that'd be good.
Yeah, I could see him wantingto.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
What's this?
The White?
House is right here and this soI haven't drank.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
I haven't drunk.
We've got about half hours left, so I wanted I asked old AI to
write me Goofy's inaugurationspeech.
Okay, yes, so we'll end withthis, garsh.
Thank you kindly everybody, andI won't do the voice my fellow
Americans and fellow critterstoo.
I stand here today feelingmighty humble and just a little
(40:00):
surprised that y'all picked me atall, floppy-eared fella who
once got his head stuck in amailbox, to be your next
president.
But maybe, maybe that's thepoint.
Maybe we don't need to beperfect to care for each other.
Maybe we just need a big heart,an open ear and courage to do
what's right, even if we tripover our own shoes along the way
(40:21):
.
This country of ours is like abig old family picnic.
Everybody brings something tothe table.
Doesn't matter if it's applepie or potato salad.
What matters is that we share,we listen and we laugh together
when the ants show up.
I may not have all the fancywords or big brainy plans, but I
promise you this I'll wake upevery day trying my goofiest to
(40:43):
make this country kinder, fairerand a little more fun.
I believe in communities whereneighbors help neighbors, not
because they have to, butbecause it and a little more fun
.
I believe in communities whereneighbors help neighbors, not
because they have to, butbecause it feels right in their
hearts.
I believe in kids who stilldream big and old folks who
remember when dreams built thefuture.
And I believe that no matterwho you are if you're a duck, a
dog, a mouse or even a grumpyold cat you deserve to be heard,
(41:07):
respected and maybe eveninvited to dance once in a while
.
So let's roll up our sleevesand sometimes trip over them to
get to work together as one biggoofy nation under the stars and
stripes.
Thank you, god bless y'all andgosh, let's get started.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
I'm right in between emotional and patriotic.
Right now I'm just stuck in themiddle.
Goofy 2028.
Goofy 2028.
Cheers.
