Gary & Shannon Weekend Fix (5/9) dive into the increasingly unhinged economics — and expectations — surrounding Disneyland vacations.• The modern Disney trip → now feels less like a vacation and more like a second mortgage
• Shannon breaks down the emotional pressure parents put on themselves after spending thousands for the “perfect magical experience”• Bigger question → are Disney adults and frustrated parents chasing nostalgia that can’t actually be recreated?
• Gary & Shannon wonder if kids even want the same Disney fantasy anymore… or if they’d rather just stay home and play video games• Why Disney behavior may be getting worse → people spending enormous amounts of money expecting movie-level emotional payoff and losing it when reality intervenes• Then somehow… Space Wars returns
• Shannon reveals Earth’s role in the expanding Space Wars mythology while Mr. Bumperpuss apparently communicates through dreams and possesses abilities far beyond ordinary ninja-cat status

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to k
if I am six forty the Gary and Shannon Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Later next month, my nephew is celebrating his thirtieth birthday
by going to Disneyland, he and his family.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
That sounds awful, and I, I mean, I love that
for him. That's great, that's exciting. I shouldn't say it.
Not Pooh pooh people's disney joy.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
It was that or Vegas.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
And I do like Disney. I like going to Disneyland
with my husband because he likes Disneyland. He likes nostalgia.
It reminds him of his childhood and I like to
see him be happy. But in terms of my own
personal happiness, I don't have it. But that should not
change the way that I feel happy for other people.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
There is a thing when I go to Disneyland, if
I go, if I go with family. For example, my
sister's families, they are kids are younger than our kids are,
so the last couple of years we've gone through with them,
and it's the same feeling that I love to see
their kids have so much fun at Disneyland. That's great,
(01:10):
that's the way it should be. And there are times
when my wife and I have gone, just the two
of us and we I mean, it's a great place
to be. There's no criticism at all about what Disneyland
is or California Adventures, no criticism at all. It's so
well run, it's always so clean, everybody's so nice. It's
(01:30):
just the epitome of customer service. When it comes to
how customers are treated in that place, it's the other people.
It's always the other people that will ruin a good thing,
other human beings. And that's true in every endeavor. But
for some reason, it is so acutely aware. I am
(01:52):
so acutely aware of it when I'm at Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I believe there is a sense of entitlement that goes
along with being at Disneyland. People believe they've set aside
a lot of money to go to Disneyland, and they
want all which are what is what are we recording
this for? Is this our podcast?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Do you want to say bad I.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Want to say bad words?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Go for it?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Okay, but if this is on the Weekend Fix, no,
we'll check.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Okay, Okay, Welcome to the Saturday Weekend Fix on the
Gary and Shannon show.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
People are entitled because they've spent a lot of money
to go to Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
It's estimated that a week at disney World, now it's
not Disneyland, but a week at disney World for a
family of four will be around six thousand dollars minimum.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Okay, So if I'm spending that kind of money to
go to Disneyland, I want my motherfucking magical fantasy experience
and nobody is going to get in the way of that.
I want my kids to be happy. I want them
to have cotton candy on their hands. I want them
to have a tantrum at four and nobody batton eye
at it. I want to eat a corn dog the
(02:58):
size of my head. I want to the matterhorn four
times and not wait in line because I paid that
much money. And that's kind of what sucks about it.
The reason Disneyland behavior has gotten worse is because people
feel more entitled because they're spending more money, and it's
money people don't have ps. It's like the same dream,
but it's just harder to achieve.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
What I don't quite understand about the Disneyland aspect of
or the adult the Disney adult. Aspect of what Disneyland
has become for a lot of people is when I
first went to Disneyland, somewhere around eighty one p eighty two,
drove down from northern California. It was a magical, magical time. Everybody,
(03:40):
this grand legendary place that was called Disneyland was so
full of happiness and cartoons and roller coasters and it
was just an amazing thing. I remember very, very vaguely
some of the aspects of that trip, and it was
a million times better than anything I've experienced since then.
Is because I was eight years old, seven years old.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
And that was the right time to go. I think
part of the problem too with people being disenchanted and
acting like assholes at Disneyland is that they expect their
kids to have that like rom Com experience. I say
rom Com because women date to have that rom Com
experience that can meet, cute, fall in love, all those cute,
wonderful things we grew up watching Kate Hudson do in
(04:23):
the early odds. But like now, it's it's that your
kid is five, and your kid is not enchanted with Disneyland,
thinks it sucks and wants to play video games. And
not talk to anyone, and I don't want to eat
and I don't want to do that. And you're like, hey,
little asshole, like you're gonna have fun. Daddy paid six
(04:45):
thousand dollars for you to put a smell in your face,
you know what I mean? Like you want your gonna
be whistling zippity dud y'all through our asshole. I was
just gonna say, you Clark w Griswold. That was the
whole point of those movies is he had this idealized
version of what fan only vacations are and for the
dawn of since a data of time, they've never worked
out perfectly the way that Dad envisions them to work out, right,
(05:08):
But now they just cost so much more. And also
your kids are not as easily impressed as you were
in nineteen eighty one because they're so stimulated all the time.
Used to go to Disneyland, and it was over stimulation
for children, right, you had you know, I would shut.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Down, right Colors, kids would shut down at two pm
we go out.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, but now these little junkies are so overstimulated all
the time you take them to Disneyland, They're like, eh,
I mean not all of them. Some of them still
feel the joy, but I don't think you're getting the
rate of return on happiness that like you want to get, which.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Is a weird thing. So when I was there, like
I said, if you're if you if I went in
nineteen eighty two, Disneyland was twenty twenty five years old
at that time, something like that, they're celebrating twenty fifth
fifth anniversary. You still had kids, especially those I grew
up in southern California. You had kids who went to
Disneyland when it was just open, ran new I mean
(06:06):
just new car smell everything, and they had turned into
adults by then. I don't remember there being a even
when I was aware, old enough to be aware as
my you know, getting into high school and went back
to Disneyland as a senior in high school, I don't
remember there being adults that were wearing the Mickey Mouse
(06:29):
ears and wearing the costumes and acting like children.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Well, merch has come a long way done. You were
a youth, that.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Is true, But there is this new version of a
Disney adult that didn't exist twenty five years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
That is true because now it's okay to be a
Disney adult. If you want to wear your pajamas and
your Mickey ears to Disneyland and be twenty seven, that's
totally fine. Back when you were a kid, that was
not acceptable. It was an executy now.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Well, and the problem is if you are that person
who's twenty seven and wearing Mickey Ears and you're joining
with the two two and whatever. However, you go through
Disneyland and celebrate.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It sounds like fun.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
All of the great things that are doing. Really you
get pictures of the what the uh? But they now
are adults with jobs, we assume, and they can afford
all of the packages, all of the merchandise, all of
the things, all of the what are they called magic
pat magic key or whatever is the passes, all of
that stuff. So that only makes it even more expensive
(07:30):
for those kids who are getting in on the ground floor.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I mean, you'll see Disney's popularity go nowhere. It's all.
It's just as popular despite kids being overstimulated and maybe
not as in awe with Disneyland. It's still a lovely place.
It's still so cool, and the nostalgia is just now
built up generation after generation. When you went Disneyland had
(07:52):
been only open for thirty years or something like that,
right late fifties is when it opened something like that.
So so now you've got even more generations that grew
up with going to the park as a five year
old or a seven year old or a nine year
old and back when you know, mom and dad were
alive or a grandma and grandpa were alive, and it
was a simpler time. And that's really really what you're
(08:13):
in nostalgia for a nostalgic nostalgia.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Nostalgic or.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So there's that place. There's also like a contingency of
people that just feel safe there. And I think it's
the twenty seven year olds in the ears and the
two twos over their pajamas, like they just feel like
they can be themselves there, which is great. But you
certainly did not see that thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
No, there was not. Those people weren't walking around at
least they weren't walking around showing it to everybody. Yeah,
I mean there may have been people there.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Who problem with Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Well I don't have a problems with Remember it's not
Disneyland I have I think.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It's no, I'm at the people. Is it the outfits,
is it the spandex. Is it the strollers spill it.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I love it when people feel confident about their bodies. Yes,
So I'm not going to say anything about the span
actually the one pieces or any of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
There's a lot of one pieces going out of this
is a weird fashion. Never have the balls to put
on a one piece like you could. I know they're
very sam skims, but like, oh my gosh, like that
is sharing. That is sharing, I would say.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I get I get really frustrated with the people who
are unaware that there are forty five thousand other people
in the park. And part of it comes from what
you were saying earlier. They paid a lot of money.
They paid money to get here. Many cases, a lot
of people go into debt for this vacation. They're coming
from Sandusky, Ohio. This is their one trip through the year.
(09:40):
It's gonna be great. They're gonna love it, and that
all be damned if they get out. If somebody gets
in their way to having fun.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You're pull out a gun and you're gonna ride that
roller coaster with Clark.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Exactly, and you're gonna take John Candy hostage to get there.
The problem. The problem is there's forty four thousand, nine
ninety six other people in the park that day, and
they all want to have a good time. And you
throwing a fit because the whale mouth on the Storyland
(10:11):
boat ride didn't shoot the water the way you expected
it to. Doesn't make anybody happy when you complain about it,
or or the ride the mattter horn breaks down or
something like that, and they got it. They got to
take it out of service for an hour or two
for whatever reason, for safety reasons. And you think for
some reason that that's that was an insult, a personal
(10:31):
insult to you. Well, I was in line. I'm right here,
I'm right in line. How come I can't go on?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Did you do that?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Guy went on, Yes, it happens all, it happens all
the time. I would just say, it's it's just a
it's a massively frustrating thing that.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I would just say, don't focus on that, focus on yourself,
focus on your own enjoyment. In fact, I think you
would make a really good goofy.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Right is this one of the like which Disney character?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Are you a generator with the kids in that goofy suit? Like?
Okay and run around? I know, Oh, my god, you would.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Kill a great friend of mine was one of the
characters at Magic Mountain.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Okay, so you just missed an opportunity. What do you mean, Well,
when I said you would make a good Goofy, you
were supposed to say that I would make a good
Disney princess.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Sorry, I didn't even see that that it was pretty obvious.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Oh, I didn't realize you're fishing for compliments. I usually
see that. Huh.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
It's okay, Hey, you'd make a great all the debate,
all the bait, all the bait in the in the box,
all the bait in the box. I'm sorry. You had
a friend that worked at the.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Hair Girl, Yes, as a character, and he talks about
I mean, it's fun, that's hey, if you're nineteen years old,
what a blast, what an absolute great job. But also
how awful when you have kids that are that take
advantage of that, Like you are so super vulnerable in
(12:03):
that position. And there were a lot of times when
people walk up, is there a person in there? Punch
him in the back or take them.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
It's part of being Goofy.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I guess it's the adventure. Perhaps it's yeah, I don't know,
but I really I do love I do love Disney
because they do such a great job, and it is
one of those things you mentioned also that kids are
so unimpressed by it because of you know, the the
whatever's piped into their brains every day through social media
(12:33):
and the phones, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I'm just too cool, too cool for it.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
There are some things that still I think catch catch
kids off guard, and it a lot of times can
do with the practical effects of just going from one
one frontier Land to Tomorrowland or whatever, and it's they've
done such a great job, and he was such a
visionary when it came to setting up that park that
(12:57):
hopefully it still takes people by surprise.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Where you think we should put the Space Wars part.
And I also just wanted to circle back to something
you said on Thursday about Space Wars. You were, yeah,
so you did. So. I was mentioning that I had
gone to the Redwoods, which I thought would be a
great spot to film the planet, and then I went
(13:20):
to Death Valley, which I thought would be a great
place to to film the desert planet. And then you
asked if Earth was a in the Space Wars, and
I kind of poo Pooedi. I was like, yes, Earth
is in it. But then I realized you meant like
you were thinking of, you know, Jupiter and Saturn in Mars,
(13:41):
and why would Earth be in space Wars if we're
doing forest planet desert planet and not the other real planets,
right right, that was what you were thinking. Well, I
just meant I felt bad for dismissing your question, and
so I just wanted to go back and tell you
I'm sorry I was being dismissive.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Okay, fine, Also, you would make a great Disney princess.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
And then also, mister Bumberpuss kind of came to me
while I was trying to fall asleep last night and
he told me he does not want to be a
ninja cat. Like that's ridiculous, he said.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I'm glad that he reached out and communicated.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, he was like, that's ridiculous. I'm not a ninja cat.
Like I have a special set of skills and I
can do pretty much everything. Like I'm not just doing
ninja stuff. I'm doing all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Can I add another non sequitur? Yeah, On Thursday morning,
right before my alarm went off, the very last thing
I said in My dream was bumpuss, No, are you
the guy who took the last shit in my bathroom?
What I told you as a non sequitor?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Is that true? Though?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
True story? I had a dream that the guys were
in my apartment partying. There's a whole party going on,
and nobody told me, and I'm like, get the fuck
out of my apartment. And I remember saying to the
last guy, are you the guy who took the last
shit in my bathroom?
Speaker 1 (14:59):
What do you think that means?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Oh, that's a lot, a lot of work to do.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
You should go talk to somebody. I'm talking to you
me qualified help me.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
This is KFI. You've been listening to the Gary and
Shannon Show.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Later next month, my nephew is celebrating his thirtieth birthday
by going to Disneyland, he and his family.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
That sounds awful, and I, I mean, I love that
for him. That's great, that's exciting. I shouldn't say it.
Not Pooh pooh people's disney joy.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
It was that or Vegas.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
And I do like Disney. I like going to Disneyland
with my husband because he likes Disneyland. He likes nostalgia.
It reminds him of his childhood and I like to
see him be happy. But in terms of my own
personal happiness, I don't have it. But that should not
change the way that I feel happy for other people.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
There is a thing when I go to Disneyland, if
I go, if I go with family. For example, my
sister's families, they are kids are younger than our kids are,
so the last couple of years we've gone through with them,
and it's the same feeling that I love to see
their kids have so much fun at Disneyland. That's great,
(01:10):
that's the way it should be. And there are times
when my wife and I have gone, just the two
of us and we I mean, it's a great place
to be. There's no criticism at all about what Disneyland
is or California Adventures, no criticism at all. It's so
well run, it's always so clean, everybody's so nice. It's
(01:30):
just the epitome of customer service. When it comes to
how customers are treated in that place, it's the other people.
It's always the other people that will ruin a good thing,
other human beings. And that's true in every endeavor. But
for some reason, it is so acutely aware. I am
(01:52):
so acutely aware of it when I'm at Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I believe there is a sense of entitlement that goes
along with being at Disneyland. People believe they've set aside
a lot of money to go to Disneyland, and they
want all which are what is what are we recording
this for? Is this our podcast?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Do you want to say bad I.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Want to say bad words?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Go for it?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Okay, but if this is on the Weekend Fix, no,
we'll check.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Okay, Okay, Welcome to the Saturday Weekend Fix on the
Gary and Shannon show.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
People are entitled because they've spent a lot of money
to go to Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
It's estimated that a week at disney World, now it's
not Disneyland, but a week at disney World for a
family of four will be around six thousand dollars minimum.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Okay, So if I'm spending that kind of money to
go to Disneyland, I want my motherfucking magical fantasy experience
and nobody is going to get in the way of that.
I want my kids to be happy. I want them
to have cotton candy on their hands. I want them
to have a tantrum at four and nobody batton eye
at it. I want to eat a corn dog the
(02:58):
size of my head. I want to the matterhorn four
times and not wait in line because I paid that
much money. And that's kind of what sucks about it.
The reason Disneyland behavior has gotten worse is because people
feel more entitled because they're spending more money, and it's
money people don't have ps. It's like the same dream,
but it's just harder to achieve.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
What I don't quite understand about the Disneyland aspect of
or the adult the Disney adult. Aspect of what Disneyland
has become for a lot of people is when I
first went to Disneyland, somewhere around eighty one p eighty two,
drove down from northern California. It was a magical, magical time. Everybody,
(03:40):
this grand legendary place that was called Disneyland was so
full of happiness and cartoons and roller coasters and it
was just an amazing thing. I remember very, very vaguely
some of the aspects of that trip, and it was
a million times better than anything I've experienced since then.
Is because I was eight years old, seven years old.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
And that was the right time to go. I think
part of the problem too with people being disenchanted and
acting like assholes at Disneyland is that they expect their
kids to have that like rom Com experience. I say
rom Com because women date to have that rom Com
experience that can meet, cute, fall in love, all those cute,
wonderful things we grew up watching Kate Hudson do in
(04:23):
the early odds. But like now, it's it's that your
kid is five, and your kid is not enchanted with Disneyland,
thinks it sucks and wants to play video games. And
not talk to anyone, and I don't want to eat
and I don't want to do that. And you're like, hey,
little asshole, like you're gonna have fun. Daddy paid six
(04:45):
thousand dollars for you to put a smell in your face,
you know what I mean? Like you want your gonna
be whistling zippity dud y'all through our asshole. I was
just gonna say, you Clark w Griswold. That was the
whole point of those movies is he had this idealized
version of what fan only vacations are and for the
dawn of since a data of time, they've never worked
out perfectly the way that Dad envisions them to work out, right,
(05:08):
But now they just cost so much more. And also
your kids are not as easily impressed as you were
in nineteen eighty one because they're so stimulated all the time.
Used to go to Disneyland, and it was over stimulation
for children, right, you had you know, I would shut.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Down, right Colors, kids would shut down at two pm
we go out.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, but now these little junkies are so overstimulated all
the time you take them to Disneyland, They're like, eh,
I mean not all of them. Some of them still
feel the joy, but I don't think you're getting the
rate of return on happiness that like you want to get, which.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Is a weird thing. So when I was there, like
I said, if you're if you if I went in
nineteen eighty two, Disneyland was twenty twenty five years old
at that time, something like that, they're celebrating twenty fifth
fifth anniversary. You still had kids, especially those I grew
up in southern California. You had kids who went to
Disneyland when it was just open, ran new I mean
(06:06):
just new car smell everything, and they had turned into
adults by then. I don't remember there being a even
when I was aware, old enough to be aware as
my you know, getting into high school and went back
to Disneyland as a senior in high school, I don't
remember there being adults that were wearing the Mickey Mouse
(06:29):
ears and wearing the costumes and acting like children.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Well, merch has come a long way done. You were
a youth, that.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Is true, But there is this new version of a
Disney adult that didn't exist twenty five years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
That is true because now it's okay to be a
Disney adult. If you want to wear your pajamas and
your Mickey ears to Disneyland and be twenty seven, that's
totally fine. Back when you were a kid, that was
not acceptable. It was an executy now.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Well, and the problem is if you are that person
who's twenty seven and wearing Mickey Ears and you're joining
with the two two and whatever. However, you go through
Disneyland and celebrate.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It sounds like fun.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
All of the great things that are doing. Really you
get pictures of the what the uh? But they now
are adults with jobs, we assume, and they can afford
all of the packages, all of the merchandise, all of
the things, all of the what are they called magic
pat magic key or whatever is the passes, all of
that stuff. So that only makes it even more expensive
(07:30):
for those kids who are getting in on the ground floor.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I mean, you'll see Disney's popularity go nowhere. It's all.
It's just as popular despite kids being overstimulated and maybe
not as in awe with Disneyland. It's still a lovely place.
It's still so cool, and the nostalgia is just now
built up generation after generation. When you went Disneyland had
(07:52):
been only open for thirty years or something like that,
right late fifties is when it opened something like that.
So so now you've got even more generations that grew
up with going to the park as a five year
old or a seven year old or a nine year
old and back when you know, mom and dad were
alive or a grandma and grandpa were alive, and it
was a simpler time. And that's really really what you're
(08:13):
in nostalgia for a nostalgic nostalgia.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Nostalgic or.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So there's that place. There's also like a contingency of
people that just feel safe there. And I think it's
the twenty seven year olds in the ears and the
two twos over their pajamas, like they just feel like
they can be themselves there, which is great. But you
certainly did not see that thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
No, there was not. Those people weren't walking around at
least they weren't walking around showing it to everybody. Yeah,
I mean there may have been people there.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Who problem with Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Well I don't have a problems with Remember it's not
Disneyland I have I think.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
It's no, I'm at the people. Is it the outfits,
is it the spandex. Is it the strollers spill it.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I love it when people feel confident about their bodies. Yes,
So I'm not going to say anything about the span
actually the one pieces or any of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
There's a lot of one pieces going out of this
is a weird fashion. Never have the balls to put
on a one piece like you could. I know they're
very sam skims, but like, oh my gosh, like that
is sharing. That is sharing, I would say.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I get I get really frustrated with the people who
are unaware that there are forty five thousand other people
in the park. And part of it comes from what
you were saying earlier. They paid a lot of money.
They paid money to get here. Many cases, a lot
of people go into debt for this vacation. They're coming
from Sandusky, Ohio. This is their one trip through the year.
(09:40):
It's gonna be great. They're gonna love it, and that
all be damned if they get out. If somebody gets
in their way to having fun.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You're pull out a gun and you're gonna ride that
roller coaster with Clark.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Exactly, and you're gonna take John Candy hostage to get there.
The problem. The problem is there's forty four thousand, nine
ninety six other people in the park that day, and
they all want to have a good time. And you
throwing a fit because the whale mouth on the Storyland
(10:11):
boat ride didn't shoot the water the way you expected
it to. Doesn't make anybody happy when you complain about it,
or or the ride the mattter horn breaks down or
something like that, and they got it. They got to
take it out of service for an hour or two
for whatever reason, for safety reasons. And you think for
some reason that that's that was an insult, a personal
(10:31):
insult to you. Well, I was in line. I'm right here,
I'm right in line. How come I can't go on?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Did you do that?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Guy went on, Yes, it happens all, it happens all
the time. I would just say, it's it's just a
it's a massively frustrating thing that.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I would just say, don't focus on that, focus on yourself,
focus on your own enjoyment. In fact, I think you
would make a really good goofy.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Right is this one of the like which Disney character?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Are you a generator with the kids in that goofy suit? Like?
Okay and run around? I know, Oh, my god, you would.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Kill a great friend of mine was one of the
characters at Magic Mountain.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Okay, so you just missed an opportunity. What do you mean, Well,
when I said you would make a good Goofy, you
were supposed to say that I would make a good
Disney princess.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Sorry, I didn't even see that that it was pretty obvious.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Oh, I didn't realize you're fishing for compliments. I usually
see that. Huh.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
It's okay, Hey, you'd make a great all the debate,
all the bait, all the bait in the in the box,
all the bait in the box. I'm sorry. You had
a friend that worked at the.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Hair Girl, Yes, as a character, and he talks about
I mean, it's fun, that's hey, if you're nineteen years old,
what a blast, what an absolute great job. But also
how awful when you have kids that are that take
advantage of that, Like you are so super vulnerable in
(12:03):
that position. And there were a lot of times when
people walk up, is there a person in there? Punch
him in the back or take them.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
It's part of being Goofy.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I guess it's the adventure. Perhaps it's yeah, I don't know,
but I really I do love I do love Disney
because they do such a great job, and it is
one of those things you mentioned also that kids are
so unimpressed by it because of you know, the the
whatever's piped into their brains every day through social media
(12:33):
and the phones, et cetera.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
I'm just too cool, too cool for it.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
There are some things that still I think catch catch
kids off guard, and it a lot of times can
do with the practical effects of just going from one
one frontier Land to Tomorrowland or whatever, and it's they've
done such a great job, and he was such a
visionary when it came to setting up that park that
(12:57):
hopefully it still takes people by surprise.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Where you think we should put the Space Wars part.
And I also just wanted to circle back to something
you said on Thursday about Space Wars. You were, yeah,
so you did. So. I was mentioning that I had
gone to the Redwoods, which I thought would be a
great spot to film the planet, and then I went
(13:20):
to Death Valley, which I thought would be a great
place to to film the desert planet. And then you
asked if Earth was a in the Space Wars, and
I kind of poo Pooedi. I was like, yes, Earth
is in it. But then I realized you meant like
you were thinking of, you know, Jupiter and Saturn in Mars,
(13:41):
and why would Earth be in space Wars if we're
doing forest planet desert planet and not the other real planets,
right right, that was what you were thinking. Well, I
just meant I felt bad for dismissing your question, and
so I just wanted to go back and tell you
I'm sorry I was being dismissive.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Okay, fine, Also, you would make a great Disney princess.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
And then also, mister Bumberpuss kind of came to me
while I was trying to fall asleep last night and
he told me he does not want to be a
ninja cat. Like that's ridiculous, he said.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I'm glad that he reached out and communicated.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, he was like, that's ridiculous. I'm not a ninja cat.
Like I have a special set of skills and I
can do pretty much everything. Like I'm not just doing
ninja stuff. I'm doing all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Can I add another non sequitur? Yeah, On Thursday morning,
right before my alarm went off, the very last thing
I said in My dream was bumpuss, No, are you
the guy who took the last shit in my bathroom?
What I told you as a non sequitor?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Is that true? Though?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
True story? I had a dream that the guys were
in my apartment partying. There's a whole party going on,
and nobody told me, and I'm like, get the fuck
out of my apartment. And I remember saying to the
last guy, are you the guy who took the last
shit in my bathroom?
Speaker 1 (14:59):
What do you think that means?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Oh, that's a lot, a lot of work to do.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
You should go talk to somebody. I'm talking to you
