Welcome to Geeks Corner. I'm Mr. Daps. I'm Katie. And did you know that I hit the wrong button?
0:26
Oh, there we go. Did you know that each ride vehicle for Radiator Springs Racers travels approximately 36,000 miles per
0:34
year, which is way more than my car does? Well, I find that to be very interesting. I would love to know the
0:39
stats for test track because test track does go 20 miles per hour faster. I know.
0:44
But like how long does the track, you know? I don't know. It was not It was not the Did you know for the night?
0:50
I know. I know. It wasn't the Did you know for the night, but that is uh more miles than I have my car
0:56
in three years. There you go. All right. So, what should people do? Uh you should go to
1:04
Still getting this one down, guys. How about you subri you subscribe? Okay. Leave comments.
1:09
Sure. And go to Patreon. Sure. Which we have a a QR code for now. Look at you go.
1:14
Yeah. And the lights might be changing because they're doing weird things tonight. I don't know. Like they just
1:20
randomly This has never happened before. It has happened before, unfortunately, but it's been a while
1:26
before. I don't remember how I fixed it before. But the one behind me keeps changing colors on me. See, it's changing again.
1:32
But then if I tap it Oh, there we go. That's the color we want.
1:38
Okay. The fox. There we go. I don't know. I wish it was blue. It's It's something.
1:45
I tried to get it blue, but it didn't want to be. All right, let's talk about Muppets. Thanks, Daddy. Thank you, Mr. Daddy.
1:51
Thanks, man. Thank you, Mr. Daddy. Thanks, man. All right, this week, now we're pink.
1:56
Uh, this week we got Marvin Suggs and his mupp. I'm sorry. Insane.
2:02
Is really absolutely insane pick. Okay, I'm listening. Like I just I just don't see the vision.
2:13
Like you think there's a vision to this? No. Maybe that's the issue. This is the Muppets. I feel like it's
2:19
like, "Oh, it's Thursday night at 8:45. We better come up with a new Muppet of the week." It does frequently feel like they're
2:24
waiting to do their homework. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing was plotted out before they
2:30
did the whole thing. No, I'm almost positive. But because they had to have the merchandise ready to go, the magnets.
2:37
Yeah, true. So, I know this was all plotted out. Yeah, you're right. But it does still feel like they're doing
2:42
their homework last minute. Okay. Um, Big Me and Carl are still both missing. Uh, and Uncle Dudley. And as I
2:49
will continue to say, my pick of the week is Gonzo cuz I love Gonzo. And I also I'm going to get two votes this
2:56
week. Tiana also votes for Gonzo. There we go. cuz she is Gonzo.
3:03
She acts like him quite a bit. Uh yeah, Gonzo would be good. I'm trying to think of like what would be a theme for
3:10
the end of September, beginning of October. Uncle Dudley. Uncle Dudley would work. I almost feel
3:16
like that's going to be in a couple weeks, but who knows? Yeah, probably closer to Halloween, maybe. I don't know. It could be.
3:22
Has Denise had a week yet? I don't know.
3:28
I don't know. I'm That might be a stretch, too. I don't know. No, I'm just saying like if anybody if
3:34
we're going to get all these random Muppets, like why not Denise? Well, I know Bailey can't watch tonight, so we're going to say I'm going to go with Uncle Deadly for her.
3:40
That's very nice of you. Um, this is going to drive me crazy. Uh,
3:45
anyway, that's that's exciting. So, we got Uncle Deadly and uh no, Denise has
3:50
not been picked. I'm seeing in the chat. So, that's a possibility. I do think that the Muppet brand, the Muppet
3:59
overlords do try and forget that they created Denise. They go, "Who? We don't have a muppet named Denise."
4:06
I don't know. The real problem with that show is if I think they had that second
4:12
showrunner that started towards the end of the season. Yes, we would have seen three or four seasons. I think that the Denise, Kermit, Piggy
4:20
story line should have been like two episodes tops. I don't think it should have been three4s of the season
4:26
or even just a nod in the first episode. Like I don't know. You did all that promo of like, oh,
4:31
Piggy and Kermit. I know none of us. I think that the problem is is by going with that promo, they already alienated
4:38
most of the fans before the show had even started. I still love Muppets ABC. I still think
4:46
it is one of the most well-written Muppets things in the last like 20 years. Um,
4:53
but no, I I I don't It's not without fault. Same way that Muppet Vision 3D is not
4:59
without fault. I hate Waldo graphic. Okay. And I get that he's the entire point of
5:05
the show, but I don't like him. All right, let's talk about something we do like then. That's Radiator Springs
5:11
Racers, which is once again back out. Closed for over a month or around a month, something like that. And uh I was
5:19
there bright and early on opening day with Stephen from our team and we wrote on it probably five or 10 minutes after
5:26
it opened. I thought you going to say five or 10 times. I was like, "Wait, what?" Cuz here's the crazy part. We were We
5:33
walked into the park. We rope dropped. Okay. Which never happens. No. and walked into
5:38
the park and literally every I'll say six to 10 feet there is another
5:44
cast member saying that Radiator Springs is opening late. We're like, "Okay, whatever." And um so
5:52
we we go down through and check it out and it's like they're not even rotating it. There's people walking the track.
5:58
Like there's nothing happening. And it also had rained so that might have been a problem. I don't know. So, we decide, we wandered around a
6:05
little bit and we're like, "Oh, we'll get a cup of coffee and we'll just watch and see what happens." Like, that's what we're here for. There's nothing else to do. Like, I mean, there's plenty else to
6:11
do, but that was the main reason we were here. No, there's nothing else to do at Disneyland, famously, right? Well, not when not when you don't
6:18
want to miss it. Like, you don't want to miss it. Um, and where was that queue for Radiator
6:23
Springs Racers Fastass tickets? Yeah, I remember that. But, uh, can't go
6:29
there anymore. Uh, no, I meant the original one. the one that they used for like a day.
6:35
That one you can't really go I mean you could I guess but um now anyway that's not the story.
6:40
Sorry. Um, so we get a a cup of coffee and we sit at Flows and we just watch the world go by and eventually you see
6:47
somebody walking the track again and then you see them testing cars very slowly and beeping which was kind of
6:53
interesting and then you see them racing one car on the right side it seemed like over and over again and then both sides
6:59
and we're watching pretty closely and we're like okay so I feel like we're getting close
7:04
almost on the nose at 10. I see people being let past the um
7:12
Luigi's that like they're basically blocking people there. I'm like, "All right, let's go." So, we go hop in line.
7:17
10 minutes later, we're on the ride. Wow. 18 minutes later, we're done. Wow. 18 that 18. So, 10:18, we walk out and
7:25
I'm like, I wonder what the that the uh app says. 115
7:32
minutes. Whoa. So, it went from 10 minutes to 115 minutes in the span of like 8 minutes.
7:38
That's a lot. Yeah. And it it also went from we walked all the way in and then we basically
7:43
stopped just before you go into the upper area. And by the time we were walking out, the
7:49
entire queue looked like it was pretty much full. That's crazy. It was It was like, "Oh, it's on the app now. The entire park is going to head
7:56
for Radiator Springs Racers." Wow. And um so it was an adventure. It does look
8:02
beautiful. Mhm. They've done a wonderful job fixing lights and characters and I was very
8:08
happy to see the um the tractors when they tractor tip actually tipped
8:13
and like there was little details like that that all looked beautiful and they worked and I was very happy with how the
8:18
video turned out and um like I I'm I think they gave it
8:24
some tender loving care that it really needed and uh good for Lightning and Mater, right? And Arcar One. Oh, that's what's
8:32
important. Yeah. So, it's in the video that way. Which side did you go through? Did you go through the body shop or through the tires?
8:37
Uh, we went through the body shop. It's fun. It's fun. Y um
8:43
I love it. I I honestly couldn't tell you the last time on Radio Springs Racers cuz I think the last time I tried
8:48
is when you and I got to the front of the queue and then it broke down. It happened, but hopefully now it won't happen quite as much. Um, but
8:57
if you would like us to talk about Well, I'm going to talk about it anyway. This is more just put a pin in it for when we
9:02
get to comments comments at the end. I would like to talk about the Radiator Springs Racers Fastpass distribution.
9:08
Okay. If you would like, thank you. I do. Moving right along. Nappa Rose
9:14
Whoa. is closed. Oh, this is what it's going to look like though outside when it opens. We got
9:20
well we got the concept art when we were in uh Destination D23. That was one of
9:25
the announcements there. I didn't notice until just now that you can actually see uh Grizzly Peak in the background of
9:31
this picture which Yeah, you sure can. I don't know that actually works in real
9:36
life cuz it would be over to the left more I think. And it would not be facing Oh, but you know what? That's the
9:42
Montreal on the left. Maybe this is accurate.
9:47
Maybe this is on that side thing where there's a new I don't know. Um I don't think Johnny's on otherwise he could
9:53
tell us how plausible this is. I think I'm gonna say it's semiplausible. Um anyway,
10:00
originally we thought it'd be opening by now. Yeah. Uh there was an update to the website
10:05
and the Disney parks blog, and it is now opening in early 2026, it says. But
10:10
we're getting this new area. We're getting the new inside. It looks fantastic. What do you think of it
10:16
taking an extra four or five months? I am just glad they're maybe six. Who knows?
10:21
I'm just glad they're going to utilize the area in a way that makes more sense.
10:26
Um cuz the outdoor area was used during princess breakfast, but it wasn't that was about it, right? That was basically it.
10:32
Yeah. I don't think I ever saw anybody eating out there. Um, and so I think that making this uh essentially kind
10:40
kind of like a blue bayou of of grizzly. You went to blue bayou and I was like,
10:45
"Oh, so they copied car and they're doing al fresco outside, you know, like
10:50
I don't know." Uh, I more meant like how close you are to theming and fun things happen. like
10:57
car you're close to ways street which is super fun and there's stuff going on but it's like this you'll be across from
11:03
Grizzly Riverrun you'll be able to see characters like the Montreal the Montreal kinetic energy
11:10
um so I'm super excited about this um I also just think that
11:16
thank god Johnny's not here because I think I might get in trouble for saying this I think that Napa dining room was a little bit dated
11:22
I think that's fair and so I think that this is like a much needed uplift lift. Um, to use words
11:29
that a certain coffee house chain is using right now, an an uplift I think is
11:35
going to be very good for Napa Rose because I do think the ambiance needs to match the service and the dining.
11:40
I'm also curious to see what the menu looks like when it returns. Also, that Yeah, because I'm assuming it will also get a
11:47
uh uplift, if that's what we're calling it. That's what I'm saying. Um, I don't know what that means, but um I'm
11:53
assuming it will be played with just because why wouldn't you? Like if it's been closed for as long as it's been
11:59
closed, nine months. Yeah. Um, you could you could have some fun. It's also interesting to see how
12:06
the theming of foods progress throughout the Disneyland Resort, like what's
12:12
popular at different times, cuz I feel like right now California Mediterranean is very in
12:18
Mhm. And I feel like that's something that's pretty trendy and it was trendy
12:24
on Food Network like a couple years ago. And so I'm curious like I should really just go watch some of the like I don't
12:31
know Jeffrey Zakarian and like more of the like the you know like the food guys that are always seeming like looking
12:37
forward a little bit more and I'd be curious what the trend that is coming like what you know it's
12:45
kind of like clothing. Yeah. And I'm curious what that next trend is and if they lean into that. What would you do if Napa opened and
12:52
they had the um duck wings? I would go to Napa, of course.
12:58
There's no question there. Um if you have ever heard Mr. Dap speak about DCA 2.0 in its original form. I'd
13:06
say right now we're at like DCA 2.5, 2.6, maybe even 2.8. Who knows? Who knows? But DCA 2.0 know at Car
13:14
Circle restaurant they had duck wings. Spicy duck wings. Spicy duck wings. They were the high limit of my spice
13:21
tolerance at the time. Yeah, they probably still are. Yeah. Okay. They were very spicy.
13:26
Uh but that is like one of those foods that uh I think if Mr. Daps
13:32
Ouch. I think if Mr. Daps could bring back, he would he would do that at the Disney
13:37
parks. Absolutely. I loved it. Um Yeah. All right. Moving right along, Knots Spooky
13:44
Farm is back. It's adorable as ever. Uh throughout the day, you can see the Bob
13:49
Barker Marionette Theater in the Bird House or Bird Cage Theater
13:54
Theater and Theater. Um which the updated the show this year,
14:00
new puppets, okay, new music. That's old music. And it was very delightful, very
14:05
enjoyable. It was nice to see because I feel like for a few years it was basically the same show with the same music and the same puppets that were
14:11
probably all older than me. And um this year they felt like they were new. Like there was a couple of
14:17
them that I was like, "Okay, I recognize those ghosts." But um the marionets like they looked there was
14:24
a bunch of new um at least I think they were new skeleton marionettes and there
14:29
were some little fuzzy monster guys that I've never seen before that were very fun. And uh it was like it was a
14:37
fantastic way to start the day and because it was the first show it wasn't too packed because later in the day the
14:42
line got much longer as did everything. Equally terrified and fascinated by the
14:47
marionets. No, I I thought they were great. It had me intrigued. I had a marionette as a kid um that I think I got at Disneyland.
14:54
Either Disneyland or SeaWorld. I can't remember. But it it wasn't anything special. It was like a bird or something. But um enough to give me like
15:02
oh this is how it works and this is how you make him walk and you know whatever. But it definitely walking away from that
15:08
show I was like oh that would be interesting to see how they do like playing with the talking and with the
15:14
like they did some really interesting things. Uh the the mimming I guess is a good word. Um, they also had the
15:21
spookivities throughout the day where you get to play little activities, sing songs, have story time with a couple of
15:27
of actors and some of the peanuts, and then uh they had Crazy Kirk and the
15:33
Hillbillies, which is a highlight every year because it's fun to see them on the big stage outside and during the day.
15:41
Um, just cuz they almost seem more relaxed. They're just So they're not in wagon camp, they're at
15:46
No, they're they're always at Calico Mine Stage for Spooky Farm. Nice. And um and then they the whole point of
15:53
that being is you have the spookivities happening at the park, Calico Park stage, and then you have Crazy Kirk
16:00
happening on the main stage and then they all come together at 4:00 for the big uh was it Snoopy's Spooktacular uh
16:08
costume party this year instead of Calico's costume party? Parade or whatever. Cabbage.
16:14
It's the Cabbell Cave, but now it's it's Snoopy Spooktacular. Well, good. I'm glad for Snoopy
16:19
costume party. And um it was super cute. They updated this as well. And um I
16:27
thought it was good because they ended with Monster Mash and everybody's dancing and like it was just a fun little like
16:32
they did the monster mash but Crazy Kirk and the Hillbillies did
16:37
the monster bash which is way more fun. Absolutely. Everything they do is more fun. Um, we got videos of all that up.
16:44
You can check it on our YouTube channel if you would like. And you can even use that to go to our YouTube channel if you
16:50
want. Um, which where are you watching this if you're not already on YouTube? You could be watching it on Spotify. You
16:57
could be watching it on our video app that's through our advertiser. You could
17:02
be watching like this. This goes out as a podcast afterwards. So, people could be watching anywhere.
17:08
Um, this goes out. They maybe maybe they're watching it on Dap's Magic in the player. This goes somewhere.
17:14
I thought I was just talking on National Podcast Day. Uh World Podcast Day. Whatever it is today.
17:20
Anyway, podcast. There you go. Uh no, I I actually think it's they also have uh what is it? Uh
17:26
calico creepy critters in the barn with the snakes and the spiders and all that
17:32
fun stuff. They didn't have the horse this year, at least that I saw. no skeleton horsey,
17:38
but they did have a big snake, a big yellow snake that was out front. It's in
17:43
the article. Um, and then also a highlight for a lot of the kids that were there was they do
17:48
trick-or-treating. So, you get handed bags as you walk in and they have stations throughout. And some stations
17:53
were definitely more popular than others. And the pro tip is show up in the morning, there's no lines. By like
18:00
12:00 or 1, lines were super long. You love candy. There was lots of candy.
18:05
Good. Like I was I was impressed. And um and it's not like you're not charged extra
18:10
for it. It's just part of admission on the weekends during the Halloween season. All right, moving right along. There's a
18:18
new Simpson movie. We got a new poster. Here's our thumbnail for it because I
18:24
thought it was a good tease to the actual poster. Mhm.
18:29
So, we wait two more years. Yeah. Fine. which is very funny because there
18:34
was a meme. I I don't know if it was in the movie or what. I've actually never
18:40
seen the original Simpsons movie, but I saw it, but it was decades ago, I feel like. Yeah. So, there's a thing with Bart
18:46
Simpson writing on a chalkboard. I will not make them wait 20 more years, and this is exactly 20 years later.
18:51
Um, I actually had a poster years ago that was that, but with I don't remember
18:57
what it was. It had a different phrase on the on the Yeah, it's the opening gag of
19:03
Yeah. Um but it was from that and uh it was in my dorm room. Oh.
19:08
Back in the day. What do you think of this? I if we
19:14
I'm going to say what I said at work, which um definitely made some people cringe. Uh
19:19
oh. Cuz it it reminded them of my age. But I was like, you know, I really hope we get like another spider pig out of this
19:25
because that went really hard when I was in middle school. And I absolutely had somebody turn and be like, I feel like Spider Pig has to make at
19:32
least an appearance or a like show up in the background, like a nod or something.
19:37
Um, I'm also curious like what do you do next for a movie?
19:43
I So I don't know. I don't know what happened in the original Simpsons movie. I've also never really
19:48
But it doesn't matter because time doesn't really change there. And I've also never really watched the Simpsons. I love their Halloween,
19:55
the Halloween treehouse horror. Like, those are so good. Like, they're brilliant. I actually think Simpsons is
20:01
a very smart show. Um, never watched it. There we go. Put it on the list, I suppose. Um, no. I'm I'm very curious
20:09
what they decide to do because I feel like it it'll be obviously in world, but they're going to have to build off
20:15
something completely mundane and turn it into something like the other one's pretty
20:20
like it's it's it's a very simple conceit. And uh
20:26
so I'm curious what like what what do they go with this time? Um, there's definitely going to be
20:34
um jokes, jabs, what have you at Disney, obviously.
20:41
Maybe. Well, this is the first one since Disney. Yeah, but like I don't know if
20:47
maybe how meta does it get? I don't know. I don't know. Do they talk about the fact that maybe
20:52
this keeps their theme park ride around for another however many years? Um,
21:01
I know Disney has to be chomping at the bit to get the theme park rights and the Oh, I'm sure they want Universal to
21:07
close and maybe Simpsons. And maybe this is a sign that something already is on the way because they're
21:13
like, "Well, in two years we're going to have The Simpsons in DCA." Um, I don't
21:19
know this at all. I'm literally just throwing things out there. Um, actually, I would put them in I don't
21:26
know how they I'd put them in Hollywood Studios if I were in charge. Like, that seems to make sense to me.
21:31
Um, I know a place I could go. There you go.
21:39
I don't I'm not going to finish that thought because I think people would be mad at me. I think so, too. All right. Uh, anyway,
21:45
I'm looking forward to this. I think it'll be fun. It will be. We aren't even going to have a trailer
21:51
for like another year. Oh gosh. Like if we're lucky. If we get anything. It's going to be fun to see. All right. We did get a trailer though.
21:57
The final trailer for Wicked for Good, which comes out in what, two months? Month and a half, something like that.
22:06
I thought it was better than I was expecting for one.
22:11
Two, I'm liking how they go in depth more with the Wizard of Oz
22:16
story. Like it's in the book and this connects it a little bit more. It seems like and um and music I think
22:24
it'll be fine. Um I am
22:30
That is not where I was going to say to put it, Bailey. Um close though, but I
22:37
think this is stunning. Um, I do wish that Oh my god, did somebody fire all their gaffers? Like, please, somebody
22:43
light this movie. Um, that seems like the problem with everything right now. They're like,
22:48
let's make the screens as dark as they can. I'm like, why is our brightness all the way up and we can barely see what's
22:54
happening on the screen. Um, I do really like um, this isn't just especially when people have their phones
22:59
on in the theater, so that's like light, too. So true. Um, I do think a few things.
23:06
Um, and these are coming from interviews, not just the final trailer, but um, they have said that Dorothy will
23:12
not be seen. Like really um, beyond what we've seen in the trailers. Mhm.
23:17
Which is good. I was like, you saw her though? Okay. Yes. Okay. She doesn't have a speaking role. You're saying?
23:22
Yes. And like they're not expanding on her role from the musical. Okay, that's fair. And um, in what I
23:28
The musical or the book? The musical. Okay. Because she's in a musical. Yeah, but it's
23:34
Exactly. It's very small. Yeah. Anyway. Okay. Um because you're not focused on Dorothy. You're focused on Tin Man.
23:39
You're focused on Scarecrow. You're focused on Cowardly Line. The other thing that I really love, because it's something that
23:46
has been alluded to for decades, is that um Ariana is going to play into the fact
23:54
that Glenda is so annoyed that Dorothy is asking for directions that she makes her go down the golden uh the golden
24:02
brick road instead of having her take the bullet train to Oz because she's like, "My best friend and I are fighting and all of
24:09
this is going on and you just blow in out of nowhere. You know what? Go that way. Like, go to the yellow brick road
24:15
because I'm so sick of you. And I think that is so fun. Um I also
24:20
know I'm going to be a mess. Like um I did not cry in Wicked Part One.
24:29
um because Defying Gravity had too many stops and goes, but as with any good movie musical, it's
24:35
the second half that hits you in the gut, which I still don't like this being two movies, but
24:41
Well, especially having just reviewed um The Sound of Music, it's a long movie,
24:46
but it has an intermission. But it has an intermission. Just do that. Yeah. Um yes, for good is that song. Um,
24:57
I I think the other thing that I think really
25:03
doesn't benefit the story of Wicked by splitting it into two parts is you don't have that immediate like
25:12
you're so separated from the two parts of the story. Oh, but you know they're going to have a
25:17
I do you can come watch it all but I'm not going to watch six hours of film.
25:23
Yeah, unless it's Lord of the Rings, not happening. And I just think that there is something to be said for like
25:28
watching Alfie and Glenda like become these people and then like they're very
25:33
tragic. Like it's it is a a tragedy. It is like a a Romeo and Julietesque. It is like we
25:43
love each other more than anything, but we cannot be anywhere near each other. And like it's devastating. And yes,
25:51
Hamilton theatrical release also had an intermission. It's the way to do it. Yeah. Um but yes, uh I will I will cry a
25:59
lot during For Good, especially um because I think For Good is one of the best modern-day musical songs ever
26:06
written. There you go. All right. The other thing we got a final trailer for, woo, is Zootopia 2.
26:13
Yeah. I I will admit, having seen the trailers and also we got a preview of
26:19
this at Destination D23, okay, I don't feel like I can fairly judge just this trailer because parts of the
26:26
trailer were in what we saw in Destination D3 and there's more around it, whatever.
26:31
Sure. Um, I will also say the more I see of this movie, the more I'm excited about it.
26:38
Oh, okay. And that surprises me because I'm not a huge sequel person usually. No.
26:44
And Zootopia I liked, but it was not my favorite. I was like, it's fun. Uh, this
26:50
one looks better. And I like the cast. I like the the gimmicks that we saw. I liked um the
26:57
conflict. They haven't completely revealed yet, but we saw Destination D23. Like, I think they're doing a
27:04
really nice job telling a standalone story that um you know, it's another
27:11
book. It's not just a a money grab and it is it is going to make money. But um
27:16
I think this is going to be a fun one. Yes. Uh Shakira is back. There is a new
27:22
Shakira song in this trailer called Zoo. Yeah. Which I I thought was a little silly, but
27:27
it worked. I am a little bit worried. I feel like they're maybe giving away too many jokes, too many bits
27:34
maybe. Um is what I'm personally worried about or the whole thing's bits.
27:40
Like there's married. It's like the old days where they're just like joke after joke. We're going
27:46
to go. Yes. Um I'm excited about this. I do really like Zootopia. Um I actually
27:52
haven't watched the first one in a very long time, so maybe it's I'm I'm overdue for a rewatch. Um I think this is going
27:59
to be fun. I think it's be great. Uh absolutely. The other thing that is going to be great and we don't watch like in person
28:08
ever, but I would uh you would well just for this one, but I wouldn't watch the rest of it. And the the Rose
28:16
Parade this year is going to have a Star Trek float. That's the only reason I'd go. Um but
28:21
it's called Space for Everybody. Okay, I'm not going to. That's the only reason I would go.
28:26
But as we look at this float, I'm going to give you the rundown. Okay. Obviously, you have the Enterprise
28:31
flying up over Vasquez Rocks. Yes. Which is an LA icon. Yes. Filmed lots of Star Trek there.
28:37
They also have the planets from episodes of Star Trek in the back. Yes. In the middle that is the Starfleet
28:43
Academy in San Francisco, which is in the next series. Underneath those are um transporter
28:51
rooms. And apparently there's going to be some sort of effect that transports
28:56
crew members. But does it go We'll find out. Um, odds are when it's
29:03
on TV, it'll get like 5 seconds or something, but hopefully not. Uh, then up in front is the bridge from
29:08
the original Enterprise. And what's going to be cool is they're going to have uh cast members from Star
29:14
Trek up on the bridge. They haven't said who yet, but I would like to think that like
29:20
William Shatner will be in the C. Like, yeah. No. Like, but then I'm like, oh, does that
29:25
mean George Decay won't come? Because Oh, do they hate each other? Notoriously. Oh, that's gonna suck.
29:32
You've seen uh Galaxy Quest? Yeah. Yeah. Galaxy Quest. It's It's that
29:38
Quest. Anyway, I think the float looks beautiful. I can only imagine how it's going to look. Like Star Trek really is
29:45
conducive to being made out of flowers. Yeah. Just cuz you think of especially the original series, the colors they used
29:50
and the like that little uh remember the dog alien? Yeah. Like the dog alien would make a
29:57
great like a great flower thing. I don't know. You're not wrong. You are really not
30:02
wrong. I think it'd be fun. Anyway, uh I'm looking forward to this. I will be recording the uh Rose Parade
30:09
specifically for that float. I was a morning person, I'd be down, but I'm not a morning person. I'm not a
30:15
people personally on New Year's Day. Yeah, that's rough. All right, it is time for
30:26
Comments. Comments. That is right. It is time for comments.
30:31
If you have anything you'd like us to respond to, questions, comments, we will
30:36
do that for the next few minutes. Tiana will just ignore us and look annoyed. That is okay. Um,
30:43
bold daps. Watch Wicked part one and two. If people have peacock once it's out, there
30:48
you go. Maybe it's a multi-day thing. like do part one on one day and then the
30:55
next day or the next week you do part two. The problem is I am a singalong person
31:05
especially with Orchid. I just can't stop. You didn't when we watched it though.
31:10
Yeah, I did. Oh, not very loud. I didn't notice. Um not very loud.
31:16
I don't know. Uh yeah, you never know. Uh, Galaxy Quest I feel like is very
31:22
realistic to the crew of the Enterprise. Um, okay. So, since we're in comments comments, um, because
31:30
we're we're going to, you know, I'm going to give you guys some time to uh, do they have a pro shot of of Wicked?
31:37
Oh, they need one. That would have been good. Well, it's like, what cast are you going to choose? The original.
31:42
No. No. Incorrect. Okay. Absolutely not. Okay. Anyway,
31:49
um sing along. I don't sing in front of people though. Like I don't do karaoke. It's my worst nightmare. Anyway, while
31:55
the comments are are flooding in with all of your with all of your burning questions,
32:02
um keep going. Um I would like to talk about the
32:07
Radiator Springs Racers fast distribution. So, what I think is so
32:13
fascinating is the theme parks have been around for a very long time. Obviously, 70 years, famously this year, 70 years.
32:20
Um, there are still things that in practice or in theory work really,
32:26
really great. And then, um, in execution does not work at all. Um, and so in this
32:33
case it was the Radiator Springs Racers Fastpass distribution which was right next to the queue,
32:39
which in theory was very long for Radar Springs Racers. Um, and so literally like you look at
32:46
Radar Springs Racers, you look to the right, there's this garage area. That is where the fast Cute Amazing. That's where the Fastpass
32:52
distribution was. Perhaps the best themed Fastpass distribution that area. And because it was around a
32:58
corner, like you think you have to go all the way down and around a corner. um you could not get to that. That was not
33:04
gonna happen um because the queue was there. So I think that the Fastpass
33:10
distribution there lasted like a couple days or like a week. It was quick. Yeah. Then it moved to where the
33:16
Fastpass distribution for it's tough to be a bug was because famously not a lot
33:23
of people trying to get Fastpasses for It's Tough to be a bug. Not a whole lot. Got crazy there too.
33:28
Yeah. So it did get very crazy. Um, everybody would bolt because um, Bolt,
33:35
not the Disney movie. Sorry you guys. Um, everybody would run straight down Buova Street down the parade corridor
33:42
right there. You take that left. Um, and typically fastpasses were gone within
33:48
the first like 10 minutes, but it was in a bug themed area. Um, with they picked
33:54
up the Fastpass machines and they moved them. So, they were cars, fastpass machines, but in a Bug's area. And now
34:03
that garage, that garage is Albert Einstein. Uh, that garage sells sod pops. Now, I think they
34:10
have a Coca-Cola freestyle. Maybe some shirts, maybe. That's cute. Slurpies. I don't know. Um, they have
34:16
things there. Anyway, I just wanted to talk about that because I think things like that are so
34:22
interesting to me. Anyway, that's it. It's true. It also, as you were saying that, it makes me
34:29
wish that they still had Fastpasses, but they'd updated them and just made them digital fastpasses and
34:34
like Max Pass. H I said like Max Pass. Those weren't free, though.
34:40
Uh they were free if you had an Yeah. I I would like to see a system where everybody is equal and you don't
34:48
pay you don't get one up for everything. Yes. Um because I do think there's an argument to be made for uh everybody's a
34:55
star at Disneyland or Disney parks because that's kind of what Walt did and everybody's a celebrity which means
35:00
everybody's equal. And um anyway, that's that's my my thought about that.
35:06
That's why he made Club 33. Well, that was a business choice. I know. I just saw an opportunity to
35:13
make a joke and I took it. That's That's something. All right. Uh,
35:18
well, I don't really see any comments though. Except that Bad Bunny should be in Zootopia, too. There you go. So,
