Welcome to Geeks Corner. I'm Mr. Daps. I'm Katie. And did you know that Figment was
0:23
originally going to be green? Yeah. No. But uh Kodak felt that green was too
0:28
much like Fujifilm. So, you know, fair. Thank goodness because I I just I'm not
0:35
a I'm not fond of green. Mhm. Why not? It's my mom's favorite color
0:40
and it's her birthday. Happy birthday, Mom. Happy birthday. Um,
0:46
it depends on the shade of green to be fair. Oh, okay. Um, not a Fuji a Fujif film green.
0:53
No. Okay. Unfortunate. I say is I have a Kermit the Frog plush over there and we have
0:59
Sure. Be I don't know what his name is. I don't know the the
1:05
um Oh, I wonder if he's supposed to be Ry from Beacon. I just realized that. Rummy. I was like
1:10
I was like Beaky. No, I mean dragons which Figment was based
1:17
on is are traditionally green kind of the starting color. I don't know.
1:22
dragons famously historically green a green figment somebody should make is
1:29
that what you're saying I don't think that should happen um we could do that that's very doable
1:34
uh what should people do Katie you should um subscribe to us because if you aren't subscribed to us literally
1:41
what are you doing you should go to our Patreon patreon.com/dapsmagic because if you're not following us on
1:46
Patreon what are you doing and we have an after show uh we do have an after show for this show it's very fun it's called Daps
1:51
After dark. Um, last week Mr. Dabs turned too many lights off and it was
1:57
got a little bit dark. Dabs way after dark. Um, happy Halloween. It was a little too ooky spooky for me.
2:04
Um, and then uh you should go into the comments and you should share what color you think historically dragons were. Um,
2:12
because as we all know, dragons are real. Why else would they have been an animal kingdom? Mhm. Um,
2:17
and uh, we have a we have a segment at the end. We might feature you for comments. Comments. There we go. Uh, but now we're going to
2:24
talk about Muppets. Muppets. Thanks, Daddy. Thank you, Mr. Dad. Thanks, man. Thank you, Mr. Dad. Thanks,
2:31
man. So, was another interesting choice. I don't want to talk I don't want to talk about Muppets this week. I'm actually very angry.
2:37
George the janitor. I don't know. Bad. I think he was only one season of the Muppet Show if I'm
2:44
correct. Um, I don't know if we've seen him since. He might have been
2:51
an extra or something in in something after that. I did recognize him. I will
2:56
give Chris that cuz I did the moment I saw him, I was like, "Really? That guy?" Um, but
3:06
you're clearly not super happy about this. No, I'm clearly not super happy about that. And
3:12
I think that this is a crime because it should have been Gonzo. And on Halloween
3:18
when uh we watched uh Muppets Muppets Haunted Mansion the whole time.
3:23
I was like, it should have been you. It should have been it should have been Gonzo. So, I'm going to still say Gonzo because
3:30
out of protest. I'm so Well, first of all, Gonzo's been my pick for a while.
3:35
Yeah. if we had like Muppet fantasy football or something
3:40
like I I drafted Gonzo a long time ago. Um
3:46
cuz there's been a few. But as it was pointed out by Clocky
3:52
um offline, the last major player we got was Fuzzy Bear in like August.
3:58
It's been a while. Everybody else has been like Marvin Suggs and his mupp, you know? Yeah.
4:04
which well in that one at least he made the uh the soundtrack like the Muppet Show soundtrack.
4:10
So true. George did not. And like I think we're all voting for for Gonzo
4:16
this week, right? It is election day, so cast your votes for Gonzo, please.
4:22
Um I don't have any I voted stickers to offer you. Actually, I don't have anything to offer you because that might
4:27
be considered electioneering. But but they give us stickers cuz I got a sticker and you got a sticker. But it's
4:33
not to vote a certain way. It's just to vote. Okay. And we would be doing this to vote for Gonzo.
4:39
Yeah. And this is like if you vote for Gonzo, I will give you a sticker. Um and
4:45
that's that's electioneering and that's don't do that. We don't stand for that.
4:50
Not with Muppet. Uh not for Muppet 70. I think Miss Piggy is saved for 70. I think uh Kermit is 69. I
5:00
think Piggy is 70 or exactly the other way around. Or exactly the other way around. So that
5:05
either way I can say yeah. Well, now we're down to like eight, right? Seven or eight.
5:11
And Gonzo, we're getting close. We haven't had Gonzo. We haven't had Kermit. We haven't had Miss Piggy. No, Kermit. No Piggy.
5:18
Um, we haven't had uh Sophia. Is that the name of the penguin? Gloria Stefon.
5:23
Gloria Stefan. I don't know. I don't think Gloria Stefan is go. You know what? We did already have Kermit. Yeah.
5:29
Oh, Kermit was 38. Okay, so then it has to be So then Piggy is 70. See, this is the problem with too many.
5:34
But Gloria Stefan could be 69. I don't think Gloria Stefon. I wish I've been saying Gloria Stefan, roll the
5:40
tape. I've been saying that since week one. Yeah, it just popped in. I love Gloria Stefan the Penguin. Um,
5:46
who has a martini from BBC? Did we have the Jim Henson puppet? No, we have not had the Jim Henson
5:52
puppet. Muppet. Whatever. Uh, that would be a good one, too, for 70. Yeah, that would be that would be
5:58
poignant, I think. Yeah. Is is Jim Henson Muppet ever in anything?
6:04
What is he in? He's in the band. Oh, it's it's a folk band. It's fun. Cuz I know him from Muppet Vision 3DQ.
6:12
Mhm. No, he's he's in the band. Show room. It's great. Whatever you call that. Yeah. Outer room, waiting room, whatever
6:19
you want to call it. All that fun jazz. Uh, all right. Should we move along? I suppose. Speaking of Muppets, Big Thunder
6:25
Mountain reopened. Speaking of Muppets, uh, Big Thunder Mountain reopened,
6:32
I would say kind of unexpectedly, but it also was expected, but not expected
6:37
because it'd already been dates that had been released that didn't happen. And so, it was at any given moment because
6:42
we knew the trains were testing, and it was just a matter of time. So, I just happened to be at the park when it
6:48
reopened uh within an hour and right as I was getting out of my car at 10:00 in
6:54
the morning or whatever, it decided not to work anymore. So, after a few more hours, uh we
7:00
finally made it on and I think it was like the 12th person on when it reopened. Wow.
7:05
Yeah. I don't know how many people got on in the morning before it went down, but um we're not talking about them. We're
7:11
talking about We don't know. We don't know. Um, people think I'm talking to them, but really I'm just talking to you.
7:16
I mean, can we just say I would love to see that come back to Disney California Adventure. That would be the ultimate
7:22
Let's go back to talking about Muppets. Yeah, I would um here's here's my thought.
7:27
Okay, next year is the 50th anniversary of the Muppet Show. I was going to say of Muppet Vision,
7:33
we are getting the Muppet Show special with Sabrina Carpenter coming back.
7:38
Great. Um, hopefully that leads to more something. Wouldn't it be awesome if they also
7:46
brought back Muppet Vision 3D? Um, can we save this for comments
7:52
comments because I do have an impassioned uh Okay, we'll we'll come back. Somebody talk about it in the comments and we'll
7:58
come back. Yeah, somebody somebody put a pin in um bringing back Mupp Vision 3D.
8:04
Somebody somebody do that, please. Back to Big Thunder Mountain. Big Thunder Mountain Rail. They did change as you're going up in
8:11
the first caverns, which are much darker than I remember them being. Like spooky. They look dark in our video because it
8:18
was dark. Maybe they're a little bit darker in the video, but they weren't the colorful rainbowish
8:24
caverns that we used to have. They were basically just black with a little bit of blue light in one corner and and
8:30
there were bats everywhere. Um like they're really leaning into the bats. Um, the bats you could see really well,
8:35
but me. Um, so then you're going up the hill in the formerly rainbow, I'm going
8:41
to call them the formerly rainbow caverns. And at the top of that hill, which is the first hill you go up in Big Thunder
8:49
Mountain, traditionally, there would be waterfalls coming down both sides, and people would like slap it against the
8:55
people, you know, the water, you know, get people wet in front of them as people do. As people do, it's not the end of the
9:01
world. It's water. Whatever. That's gone. It's now fog. Um I don't actually have a huge problem with it becoming fog
9:08
over water other than they didn't change where the water came from before. So there's this weird flat trough.
9:15
Yeah. Above it. And that would be my one like note is is I would have loved to have seen them kind of like hide the trough.
9:23
Sure. because it it definitely takes you out of the oh I'm in a mountain in a moment because I actually noticed the
9:30
trough before I noticed the fog because like what's that and and then I in you know
9:36
as as you're thinking more about it I'm like oh it's cuz you're using fog now instead of of water.
9:42
Um I don't love it because um I think it actually completely takes me out of
9:47
being in a mountain because a mountain water makes sense. I'm like, "Cool.
9:52
Natural water flow." Especially with like the whole Rainbow Cavern thing. I'm like, "Okay, cool. There's a water source. Neat. Survivalist. Okay. You got
10:01
to find your water sources." But no. Nope. Let me finish.
10:07
Mhm. Mhm. I think they're trying to lean into the ookie spooky ghost thing a little too early.
10:12
It's either that though or it's like in Yellowstone because there's steam that comes out of
10:18
random stuff in in Yellowstone. So, I can kind of give it that. Um, I I it
10:23
might have been a B mode. We don't know. Like, that's that's definitely a possibility.
10:29
Um, maybe they're going to go for both, which I would be okay with. Um, and if it is what it is, it'll be
10:35
I also It's not the end of the world. It's not the end of the world. I'm nitpicking because it is so fun to do
10:40
that as a Disney fan. The other thing I think is funny though as Disney fans is that was like a small
10:46
story. The big story is the goat. The goat, which I think we're on the
10:53
third or fourth. I don't know. Like in like I I've seen several goats through the
10:58
years of this and I remember years ago thinking, "Oh, they can do that. They
11:03
can change the goat." But it's the same as the little dog in Rivers of America in the village. like you
11:11
you don't necessarily have a replica just sitting somewhere in a barn, you know, in a animatronic
11:18
goat barn that um that is waiting to go sit on a mountain. And um
11:26
I also think not to be too um
11:34
esoteric. I I don't I don't know what word I'm looking for right now. I think that we're focusing too much on the goat
11:40
and less on the visual gag. Like we we shouldn't be we shouldn't be focusing the gag still works.
11:46
We shouldn't be focusing on oh well the goat is supposed to look a certain way. The goat is chewing dynamite. Babe,
11:53
let's talk about that. That's Did they notice it's a different stick of dynamite. I bet.
11:59
Um, like I just I I think sometimes
12:05
sometimes Disney parks fans, not all the time. You're very normal most of the time. But this is one where I'm like, I
12:14
I wasn't married to that goat. You know what I would be upset? If they changed the dog in the Pirates of the Caribbean scene that I'd be like, okay, yeah, the
12:21
dog with which they probably have. They probably have, but if it was extremely noticeable, I'd be like, yay. Well, and you look at the old goat and
12:27
the new goat, they're very similar. Like they got it's generally it's a goat.
12:33
It's a goat. It's also exposed to elements 247. Correct. It's also and listen up.
12:42
I'm listening. Goats aren't supposed to chew dynamite. Has anyone even checked in on that goat? Has anyone ever said, "Hey goat, how are
12:48
you doing?" Can you imagine if they added a sound effect after you went around the goat?
12:53
Is your goat? You are sick. Well, they have the explosion later, so why not just
13:00
You're evil. I mean, it would be it'd be pretty funny. I mean, yeah, but like everyone always
13:07
says, you know, Kermit could say, Fuzzy, that's terrible. Um, you know, everyone always says the goat could say, "You're right. It
13:12
needs more sugar." Um, everyone always says, you know, um,
13:18
pay attention to the goat. Look at the goat. Like, look at what's going on with the goat. But has anyone ever said
13:24
um how is the goat doing? We don't know how it's gonna end up. So why is the goat chewing on dynamite? You
13:31
know, have you guys ever have you guys ever thought about that? How about we How about we go check it out? Let's
13:38
check that out. Okay, let's go check on our goat friend. You can make the difference.
13:44
He might not put the dynamite down, but you never know.
13:49
You never know. You never know. Uh anyway, that's that's enough about the goat, I think. Uh you never know. Uh all
13:56
right, it is a month of Thanksgiving on Dap's Magic, which means every day we are going to be posting something that
14:02
somebody on the team is thankful for. And today, appropriately enough, was
14:07
Figment. And um which is why he was in our thumbnail. And we're going to
14:13
continue through what all 30 days of November with something they're thankful about. uh just because as exciting as
14:19
the holidays are, Thanksgiving are a part of those holidays. So, we thought we'd hit that. And in the food guide today, which we'll get to in a few
14:25
minutes, they did have um it was a was it pumpkin pie uh bread pudding or something?
14:32
Pumpkin spice bread pudding. Um which Cass generally has really good bread pudding
14:38
and I love a bread. Get it every time. Um, anyway,
14:44
during this month of Thanksgiving, Katie, what would you add to the list? And you can't say Figment because I
14:50
already stole him for today. I can't say Figment. Nope. You cannot say Figment. Well, dang. Um, no. I actually think
14:59
that I would say It's a Small World. Oh, there you go. Shocking. And why? Um, it is a something about friendship
15:08
and kindness. um and how yes, the world feels big and scary, but we actually have a whole lot
15:15
more in common. Um and I think especially right now that is a really important thing for people to remember.
15:21
Um is that we really should all be looking out for each other and loving each other. Um and focus less on what
15:27
separates us or divides us and focus more on what unites us. Love it. That's very good.
15:32
There's so much that we share that it's time we're aware. I thought you were gonna say you were thankful for the goat. And I'm thankful for that stick of
15:39
dynamite. By the way, um yeah, that's a that's a good one. I'm going to go back to the first one that I
15:45
did on what day of the week was it? Um that would have been Saturday. Saturday. Yeah, on Saturday, which was
15:52
the community because I really think we are so lucky with the community that we have around us. And uh you know, some of
15:57
them are here, some are in the parks, some are on Patreon, some are on social media, some are around the world. Like
16:03
we literally have people that are part of this community that are as as close as you know blocks and as far away as
16:11
the other end of the world and and takes 16 hours to fly here and that's a really
16:16
cool thing or 14 hours or you know there's a couple those different places but uh it's it's a very cool thing and a
16:23
very fun thing and uh hopefully you like a month of Thanksgiving and if you'd like to contribute let us know because
16:30
we will be taking guest posts for this because I the more people that contribute, the better. That'll be fun.
16:35
And um or if you just want to say something you're thankful for, that's great, too, because it's a good exercise
16:40
to have. And it's good to focus on the good as opposed to all the crazy. I will do a shameless plug and okay,
16:47
hashtagnotsponsored. Um the Finch app, um it is like a it's
16:53
kind of like a little checklist app. Um but it's like a little uh I call it a self-care Tamagotchi. Uh, one there's a
17:01
couple like a couple there is a lot of different categories you can add things to, but one of them is um self-kindness
17:08
and connection. Um, and you can add whatever goals, but some of the goals that it suggests is like name one thing
17:15
you're thankful for. Um, say thank you to yourself. Um, say thank you to
17:20
somebody else. And like you have to verbalize it. Um, yes. And um I think
17:26
that acting in gratitude every single day is something very important. And I actually think it uh changes a lot about
17:34
who you are. So I and what you look at. Yeah. Like what you focus on grows and this is a great way to spend the month of
17:41
November focusing on things that are good and building up. So uh next week
17:47
let's all go into the chat and even tonight too. one thing you're thankful for and uh we'll hit those in comments
17:54
at the end as well. Uh one extra thing I am definitely thankful for
18:00
that is the food. Yes, Disney festival holidays tends to have
18:07
after I'm going to say Lunar New Year is my favorite festival. Maybe Festival of Holidays is my second
18:12
one. That's that's I think fairly safe to say. Um
18:17
they released the food guide today. We've got it up on DAPS. Um there were a
18:23
couple things that jumped out at me. Some returning ones like you've got the different what's the two uh mac and
18:29
cheeses that you can get half and half solid. Um I liked that.
18:35
But there was also some new stuff. A lot of them were new drinks, but there were some new things that jumped out. Uh did
18:40
you have any one new thing that jumped out at you? cuz there was definitely one new thing that jumped out at me for new things. No,
18:47
really? Yeah. Maybe it's not new then. I'm worried. Oh, what jumped out at you in general then?
18:54
I love a tamal. So, uh it's a tamales. Um and that's like if you know me um
19:03
basically every time we go out to eat um and we get Mexican food, I will get a
19:08
tamal. Mhm. Um, so that's mine. What is yours?
19:14
They have a holiday Eminem. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that is new. I knew you were. Okay. I knew that. I was like, I'm
19:19
pretty sure that one's new. I I feel like I would have gotten it every year last if it was been before. No. When you went,
19:27
this is a live look. Oh, I know what I'm excited about. And I
19:33
looked at the list, I immediately was like, oh, mini M&M Clair. Like that basically. How could you go wrong with that? that
19:39
that in like parentheses should say for Mr. Daps mini M&M's on anair. Are you kidding me?
19:47
Perfect. Yeah, that's a Mr. Daps original right there. I mean, as long as it's not dry or something, but like Well, yeah,
19:53
I think it'll be fine. Um, they have a couple favorites that are coming back, I noticed, that people were excited about
19:58
this year. Um, the the what's the sandwich that's in the uh pretzel bun?
20:05
It's like a a little steak sandwich thing. Yes. Vaguely remember like that one. I saw people excited
20:12
about that. And of course the pork adobo. The pork adobo. I don't feel like they can take that one off at this point.
20:17
Like unless something goes horribly wrong and they can't source it or something. It's been going for like seven, eight years now.
20:23
Yeah. Um did you notice there's, if I counted right, there are fewer booths again this year.
20:29
Oh, I I think there was either six or seven by my count. So,
20:36
it seemed like it was less. Um, I wasn't doing that. Um,
20:41
okay. Uh, but, uh, meme king, huh?
20:46
You're the meme king, right? Um, I thought I thought Bailey was the meme
20:53
queen. Um, multiple royalties. Anyway,
21:00
our meme monarchy. I am looking forward to the food. Um
21:08
I'm very curious to see like what ends up being the real home run this year cuz
21:13
I feel like sometimes there's that thing where you just was that split mac and cheese for us. We really loved that.
21:20
Well, and I think often though when we review, especially this one, we will
21:25
find things that I like or really love and things that you really love and then there's a couple that are crossovers.
21:31
like we've definitely gone our own directions on this one and whereas I feel like Lunar we're pretty, you know,
21:37
we're we're pretty lined up on uh food and wine we were more lined up on and this one was a little bit different.
21:43
Um because I never delete anything in my phone. Oh, the list from last year. I'm looking at what our number one was
21:49
last year. I'm actually curious about that. So am I. Festival of Holidays.
22:01
Um, it's this is not festival holidays, but apparently Earl of Sandwich has a new uh uh Monte Cristo sandwich that's
22:08
not a Monte Cristo sandwich. You know what is so weird to me? And apparently it's really good even if it's not deep fried in batter. Go ahead.
22:16
It's the fact that you would like um
22:24
uh a Monte Cristo. Like that just doesn't make any sense to me. Oh, I like Monte Cristo. I just they're too rich for me. I can only eat like
22:30
half a one. But it's the fact that you don't love sweet. Correct. Yeah. That's where you do a half a one or a
22:36
part of one. Like it's it's it's intriguing, but you didn't keep it. Uh, no. I think I copied over it for
22:43
Oh, that would make sense. Oh, well. No. I mean, good thing you have an article somewhere.
22:48
Such such is that. So, I'm like, okay. Food and wine. Um,
22:54
it's Disneyland's fun bun. Yeah, it kind of is. Although, does Knots still have the fun bund? Also, side note, she's got
23:02
a couple seconds to look now. Um, I noticed in the last couple of days, if you go to knots.com, it now redirects
23:07
you to six flags.com/nuts, which is a change as the merger continues on. And I'm curious to see how
23:14
that plays out. But, um, there's your side note for I guess I don't have it. All right. I think I copied over it. That's
23:20
Well, then we will have to move on. Weird. We got a trailer today for Prep and Landy. prep and landing the snowball
23:30
protocol. And uh this is the third in this special
23:36
whatever. Um I will admit the teaser got me more
23:43
excited about the program than the trailer did. And I felt like the teaser
23:48
might have showed more um if that's possible in 30 seconds versus 90. But um
23:55
I walked away thinking like, "Oh, yeah, I get it." And then I saw the trailer and I was like, "Oh, okay."
24:01
Uh what did you think of the trailer? Um again, I have not seen Prep and Landing, the first one.
24:07
Um I think it's cute. I agree. The teaser felt like a better package
24:13
delivery than And I hope the show we get is the teaser version and not the
24:19
not the trailer version. Also, maybe I'm just sipping on that haterade
24:24
as the kids would say. Oh, did we need a teaser and a trailer for
24:29
this? Yeah, I don't think we did. Well, it's the timing of the marketing thing. You have to do that.
24:36
Well, I don't know. I reject that premise and I replace it with my own.
24:43
I think if it had been a great trailer, then I wouldn't be thinking I wouldn't
24:49
have any questions about that. Sure. Um it's it's fine. Like it looks like it'll be cute. Um I like the premise of
24:55
the show is like the the elves are basically like little secret agents. That's very fun. Yes. And and so I think that will be fun. I
25:02
hope they're just not making a show because they want to make a show and and
25:09
I hope it has a purpose and a really good story. And if it does, I'm all on board with this. And then I would like
25:14
to see them update Jingle Bell, Jingle Bam, is that what it's called, at Disney's Hollywood Studios. And if it
25:21
doesn't, um, it'll be on Disney Plus. So, you know, it'll just live on in
25:27
perpetuity. Um, until they decide to take it off Disney Plus. Yeah. Or they'll throw it on YouTube or
25:32
something. I don't know. Um, the other trailer that we got today, and this one actually excited me more
25:39
than I expected, was we got a new trailer for a very Jonas Christmas movie.
25:45
Mhm. And honestly, I'm a little shocked we're talking about this on Geeks Corner because this was not on my agenda for
25:50
this this holiday season. But after seeing the trailer, I was like, "No, we're going to talk about this tonight."
25:57
because I was actually somewhat charmed by it and I had
26:03
thoughts. So, before I get into my thoughts, what are your thoughts? Do you want to directly quote me from
26:08
when the trailer ended? Go for it. That was significantly less lame than I thought it would be.
26:14
I thought it was going to be, especially from the cameos we've seen, I thought it
26:19
was going to be super campy. I thought it was going to be like Oh, I'm sure it will be. Well, yeah, but
26:24
I thought it was going to be so tongue andcheek. Um, this actually is like very
26:31
um aware like the fact might have some heart to it. Well, like, oh, it's the plot of every
26:36
Christmas movie. I was like, okay, love this. Um, of course, the wives got involved.
26:42
Love that. Um, I have a feeling that the bonus Jonas, and I know he hates being called
26:47
that, which is why I call him that even harder. Um, I wonder if the bonus Jonas is going to be on this because they do
26:52
have another brother. Um, his name's Frankie. Yeah, he's he was too young when they
26:59
were doing the band. Oh, that sucks. So, like he was like he's significantly younger than them. So, I think he's a
27:05
little bit younger than me, but he could play triangle or something. Um, but they called him the bonus Jonas
27:11
in the original like era of Jonas Brothers. And now he's like, I'm 23 or whatever. You can't call me the bonus
27:17
Jonas. Everybody's like, "That's nice bonus, Jonas." Yeah, you're stuck with that. Like, that's that's a hard one to get past.
27:23
Sorry, buddy. Mhm. Um I I am just extremely charmed by it.
27:29
I love um it'd be a great way to introduce a Jonas
27:35
sister. So true. Um I I love the cameos. I think so far my favorite cameo is
27:41
Billy Lord. Um I love Billy Lord. I think she's incredible. So, I thought, can I go in
27:48
now? Yeah, please. Okay. Um, I thought it was a great trailer. It looks fun. The corny uh
27:56
airplane explosion effect. Amazing. Yeah. The uh the very tongue and cheek like
28:03
jokes. Awesome. I have one huge criticism. Uh oh. Massively huge.
28:09
Uh oh. Where are the Muppets? So true, Batsy. I literally watched this
28:15
trailer this morning and I was like, "This is a Muppet program." Like, this could be a Muppet show or a Muppet
28:22
Christmas special and like, and you know what I thought?
28:28
Where's Ted Lasso? You don't know, maybe he's going to show up. It reminds me of the Ted Lasso Christmas
28:34
crossover. Um, wrong companies, but you never know. It's fine. Um,
28:39
I I know you're fine without the Muppets, Sity, but uh that's okay. We still love you.
28:45
But like even if even if work with me here,
28:51
it's the same movie, but they're with the Muppets. Yeah. Like they're all going on that road trip
28:57
adventure together. Or the Jonas Brothers simply have cameos like when they're on the train to
29:02
Amsterdam. Animals there. It also has a little bit of a modern Beatles movie feel to it also. Yeah, that's fair. A
29:09
little bit of Hard Day's Night or something. Um but uh yeah, I think it's good. I think it'll be great when I
29:15
think it's November 21st when they release the is it the single or soundtrack that comes up. Caleb will probably know, but
29:22
um I think the music looks like it's going to be solid for this, too. Which means uh hopefully people have more
29:28
holiday music that they can listen to this this Christmas. Maybe they'll even play it in like stores and stuff,
29:37
right? Yeah. Yeah. Maybe. I don't know. Um Um I I would like to publicly say um Dad, I
29:46
love you so much. Um I don't hate Christmas music as much as my dad does.
29:51
My dad will not listen to Christmas music. Period. Um I find Christmas music
29:58
to be overstimulating. Um, it's usually very loud, very fast-paced, um, a little too intense for
30:06
me. And, uh, it's all I listen to for like, uh, two, three months out of the year
30:12
because I do work retail. Um, and so Christmas music just kind of stresses me
30:18
out. So that was what he's doing. A little bit there. He's doing a little silly bit. I have lots of records. It'll be fun.
30:25
I like big band jazzy Christmas. Okay.
30:30
Yeah. The Jonas TV show should be canon. There you go. Maybe it is. All right.
30:42
Comments. Comments. It is time for comments. If you'd have
30:48
anything that you would like us to respond to, comment on, put it in those comments. We will definitely do that in
30:54
a minute. Uh, very Jonas Christmas movie soundtrack is available on November 14th. Thank you, Caleb.
31:00
The Jonas Brothers have surpassed the Beatles. Happiness begins is clearly better better than Abby Road, which
31:07
means do I get a Jonas Brothers cirle?
31:13
They will have surpassed the Beatles when they have a circus to that last longer than the Beatles.
31:20
So, was that nine years or something? I don't know. No, I think it lasted like 17. 17. I don't know. I was
31:26
Did it open in ' 07? I don't remember. Okay. Well, I just remember going. You were alive. Mhm.
31:31
So was I. Mhm. Just less so. All right. Let's talk about the Muppets
31:36
again. Wonderful. The entire purpose of Mickey's Philhar Magic was to make it a flexible space. But with Pandora coming in, can we
31:43
squeeze a farewell to Muppet? Why does it have to be a farewell? Because he's saying with Pandora coming
31:49
in. So, I think that space is not going away. Um,
31:54
I I would tend to guess that that's going to continue on. So, let's keep the
32:01
Muppets. Cool. It can still be It can still be flexible. Thank you, Mr. Chris Glass, for putting
32:06
a pin in that so I could come back to it. Yes. Um, I I'm about to say things that are
32:15
a little controversial. Uh oh. So, I'm just going to need everybody to strap in, okay? And if I say something about something
32:22
you love, please just know that it's not about you, okay? I still love you. You're
32:28
still wonderful. Okay? I hate Mickey's Phil, Her Magic in Disney California Adventure. I hate it.
32:34
I think it's bad. I think the aspect ratio is bad. I think it shouldn't have been in that theater. Um, I think the
32:40
posters in the queue just look so much cheaper than they do at Magic Kingdom. Like, it looks like they were
32:47
panicking and they put something there. But why did we need to panic? Why did we
32:52
need to do that? Muppet vision was wonderful. Okay, I remember the day that the wind blew down a sign at Mickey's
33:00
Phil Her Magic and people lost their marbles because the outline of Gonzo was
33:06
still there. Okay, obviously motorcycle not attached, but the out people lost
33:11
their mind over a painted outline of Gonzo the Great on a building. Okay, if
33:17
the people were freaking out about that, imagine what would happen if you brought back Mupp Vision 3D. Also, Mupp Vision
33:24
3D was literally never empty when I was there. Isn't that so crazy? Was it because I am so popular that I was
33:30
bringing all the other Muppet fans with me? Maybe. But alas, I personally
33:37
would really love things um love for this to come back because I
33:44
want to once again feel the joy and the laughter of people experiencing that pre-show. I once again want to feel um
33:52
you know the the heartbreak and the sorrow when we don't know where Bean Bunny is going. Um I
34:00
we come to this place for for laughter. Okay. Um anyway, I feel really
34:06
passionately about this. I think Muppet Vision um I think Muppet Vision is so excellent.
34:15
Obviously, we quote Muppet Vision literally every single day of our lives and we have every day like since we met
34:22
each other. But I think that that is something that the
34:27
whole world needs to share in. And you know what? Listen, we can go back and do what we did um for Muppets Most Wanted
34:34
and we could put in a Sabrina Carpenter stinger. Okay? The children love Sabrina Carpenter. She used to be a Disney
34:39
Channel star. Easy peasy. We put a little pre-show for the pre-show. We put
34:45
it on there. The kids will love it. They'll go, "Ah, Sabrina Carpenter play Juno." I don't know. She'll say, "Have
34:52
you ever tried this one?" And then The Muppets pre-show begins. Okay. Okay. Wonderful.
35:00
Yes, it did just say a lot of words were just said, and that's okay. Okay. Um, anyway, no, I did not see the
35:08
photos that somebody
35:13
Okay. I did not see the photos that someone took of the Muppision stuff. Can you please send that to me? I'd like to see it. Thank you. There. There you go. Um, I think, wow,
35:23
that was a lot. Uh, I don't think Philhar Magagic is the worst thing that's ever happened there. I do
35:29
actually I do actually think it gets about the same numbers as Muppets did because
35:35
Muppets sometimes was not completely full, sadly. Um, but
35:41
uh I'm just being No, I think I think the worst thing that was in those theaters was when they just
35:47
played random trailers and they sprayed water at you for no reason. True. Um I did like it when they did the
35:53
um Frozen. No, Tron Legacy preview in there was pretty cool.
35:59
Well, because I'm sure they did. Yeah, like they they made it very immersive, but um that was during
36:04
Electronica. um the beginning of the end for the Muppets perhaps at Disney California Adventure. Who knows? But um
36:13
no, I do think I do think that Mickey's Philarner Magic doesn't
36:18
necessarily fit in this space. And I kind of wish that if it weren't a wow
36:25
experience, it wasn't there. Yeah. Because it just doesn't hit the home run that it does in Florida. Well, when I
36:33
leave the one in California Adventure, I go, I wish it was Magic Kingdoms.
36:38
Yeah. I mean, and that's But for the people that don't know, maybe that's that's a different story. But um it'd be
36:43
interesting to see like how beloved that really is or isn't. And
36:50
um I don't know that like I don't have that many people I hear talk about, oh, I can't miss this. It's usually just a
36:58
air conditioning, something like that. whereas I definitely did know people that would not miss uh Muppet Vision. And and then
37:05
the trick is is like are you catering to the people that that like the Muppets
37:10
don't have the same draw that they used to have. So it's it's that it's that hard, you know?
37:18
Uh I personally like every Muppet movie. I personally know a web show that talks
37:25
about the Muppets every single week. That is true. But they are full. There there is a demand. I just, you
37:31
know, I don't know that they've I don't know that they've ever found their footing since Disney has purchased them.
37:39
Um, and I would like to see them find that
37:44
and really go off with it. I love the idea of the uh Muppets Great Moments stuff from Magic Kingdom being reused.
37:51
Um, or just remount it like do it again. And I would do it not just in Liberty
37:57
Square. I would also do it on Main Street USA. Like do it above the opera house or something like it'd be amazing.
38:03
I have previously said that and I remember getting flamed on this show for
38:09
saying those exact words for saying put it above Opera House. There you go. So good moments in history. La.
38:17
Yeah. Be fun. All right. Well, I think we are running out of time for tonight. So what should people do, Katie? uh you
38:24
