bloody family and friends, which is normally pretty stressful, but I popped some Nextivo CBD gummies and before that, I just started to like the people. I started to like them. They go totally stress-free. Nexto smart absorb technology delivers cbd to your system in as little as 10 minutes unlike other cbd brands regular cbd oil works more slowly because of how our bodies process oil-based ingredients compared to water-soluble supplements and regular cbd only activates two to ten percent absorption so over 90 of what you're taking goes to the waste. Nothing. Smart Zorb upgrades CBD's natural absorbent power.

It's scientifically formulated to deliver more CBD fast. The only brand clinically proven to deliver 30 times better absorption in the first 30 minutes. Help fight holiday stress with NextEvo's natural stress CBD complex gummy featuring ashwagandha. Ashwagandha. Clinically proven to reduce stress by 70%. Ashwagandha.

And CBD worked together to target the source of rising stress hormones like cortisol. Next Evo is the only brand that combines a natural patented whole plant ashwagandha that's eight times more powerful than regular ashwagandha.

Are they sports or are they places where fancy people get dressed up baseball basketball are they sports or are they places where fancy people get dressed up for have a dance

you might find out and I don't know about that with Jim Jeffries who would know every week I tell myself I'm not gonna giggle through the intro and it's just not working for me. Are they fancy phrases?

I'm going to the baseball. Why are you in an evening gown? I'm going to the baseball. I want to pull back the curtain. It's a military base. I want to pull back the curtain for everybody at home. This is how that always goes. Jim goes, okay, I got it.

I'm ready. So confidently. And then he says that. Baseball. Gets a lot of thought into this. and then he says that so baseball they're not planned they're not pre-recorded no no i don't have those written down luis goes are you ready you go hold on let me think of something okay i thought that was a good one that was good I think it's just giving you credit for, you know, just sticking on your toes like that. Thanks. It's been a big week.

Big week. We pre-recorded this episode two weeks earlier, so I'm going to only imagine what's happened. Trump at the moment is taping up boxes. Tomorrow, Biden comes on in. They've got a fumigate in place. Right now, Trump is squatting over the presidential bed having a shit

i think they get rid of that i was thinking about that he's putting the sheets back on you have to change them i already cleaned them yeah either that or we've all died in a nuclear he's leaving the note in the in the desk you lost the election suck a dick yours truly millennia put that in the drawer Suck a dick. Yours truly, Melania. Put that in the drawer. Written in crayon. He said he's not attending the inauguration.

That's what he said. COVID risks. Yeah, yeah. But I wonder about the letter. They've always left a letter. They've always left a letter. He's got to leave a letter. Because that will be the thing.

That'll be in the history books that he never left a letter and everyone else left a letter. We got any actual footage? We got any pictures of any of these letters? Yeah, you can read them all. Oh, you can read them all? Yeah. You can read the one Obama left for Trump. They're all nice.

They're all like, hey, the country's in your hands. Even Republican, the Dems and Dems, the Republicans, they're always like, go get them, champ. There's like a huge level of respect when they pass the torch. I would leave a note that would go like this okay the shower's a bit tricky left is hot

turn it all the way to hot and then back it off just a little bit if you back it off too much it gets freezing cold they really need to fix that Taft has been talking about this everybody knows how to use

their shower perfectly and no one else knows how to use home showers I'm online right now you can see every letter The handwritten typed ones So anyways Oh I would handwrite it Yeah some people handwrite them

Obama typed his Yeah handwriting is too personal He wouldn't want to do that for Trump Lyndon Johnson wrote Word of advice don't ride around in a convertible. Oh, wait. This one that's typed is from Bush. I don't

know. I'm reading the wrong one. Borf. You can find him on there. Anyways, Jack. What's up, Jack? What do you got for us today? Life Hackets. It's back. I'm so excited. By the song. Life Hackets. It's back. I'm so excited. By the demand of Jim. Life Hackets.

Here we go. All right. Good, good. I like it. Who sent that one in? This guy named John Hacket. Very strange. Wow.

Very strange. I always find it funny that your name is John, and then you tried to call it up with Jack. No, I think it's so they didn't get him and him and his dad confused oh yeah yeah who could tell the difference all right life hack at number one if you're a guitar player like me always keep a guitar pick in your wallet in case you come across a guitar in the wild and there's no pick around. This is fucking terrible advice. It's the guy at the party who's like, oh, a guitar? I'll play.

And you're like, fucking stop. Yeah. If you don't have a pick, a coin will work. Hold on a second. How many hat gets have you given already? This is one. No, I know. But he should number them like going.

I know it went slow. Pay attention for it. No, no, no. I mean, he did three before, right? Yeah. So there should be number five. It should be a running list. He has four now.

This is season two. Season two. Episode one. Season two, episode one. It was a big cliffhanger on the T-shirt from last time. Now we're going into the new episode. What have you got for us? You've got to excite the fans.

Keep the fan base going, pick in the wallet. Oh, man. Channels have been turned. All right. You know those plastic grocery bags you get at the grocery store? No, explain. I know the paper ones.

What are the plastic ones? Well, you know they say paper or plastic? When you get plastic and you have a bunch, don't throw them away. Keep them and use them as like liners for your wastebaskets. Yep. Everyone does that. Everyone does that.

Not my house. Your third hack at bed nut beat, they're good to pick up dog shits with. No, no, you get the doggy bags for those. Those are too big. You buy them, you put them in your big plastic bag, and you leave the store. Everyone reuses those places.

My dad was very upset when they go, they're getting rid of the plastic bags. You can't fucking, they don't give them to you at the supermarket. In Australia, they banned them, right? In California, they did, I thought, right? No, they're back. And so my dad was like, bloody, they say people don't use them again. I've used every single one again.

Yeah, I keep them all inside each other under my sink, and then I use them for liners. They had ones that were meant to, over time, they were meant to disintegrate into sort of like dust type of thing. They still exist. Made out of cornstarch. Yeah, yeah. And so my father, this is the early 90s, they invented these ones.

And my dad put a plastic bag in a regular plastic bag. You know, the litmus test. He had two of them. And he put them under bricks. So they were dangling out so they wouldn't blow away because they're plastic bags. And then he went out and checked on them all. And he reckoned they were pretty close to each other. And it wasn't that much of an advantage.

So that was science everyone i respect his political opinions a lot more now now when he's doing scientific experiments like that the um i just uh i put little army men on them and use them as parachutes and throw them into the la river that's fun that's pretty good find the way to a turtle i thought you did this as a kid in florida you're doing it in the la river've only been living here for eight years. I was kidding. I was like, I'm littering. Alright, so let me recap for the audience at home at the moment.

You better be writing these down. Keep a pick in your wallet and reuse plastic bags to hold garbage in your small trash can in your bedroom. The best part is before we started recording, I said, are you nervous? And you said, it can't go as bad as it went the first time,

but we're not on a good track here. So far, this is so much better. I feel so much better about myself. You know what I do with my plastic bags? I scramble them up and put them up my nose for nosebleed. Hey, that's not a bad idea. It is a bad idea. It doesn't absorb anything.

The only bad idea is on Lifehack It. I can only remember two of the last four. It was the t-shirt and the nosebleeds. T-shirt, nosebleeds, drink a Coke with spicy food. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And the other one was... Tape tabs.

Oh, yeah, tape tabs. The other one was when you eat soup, use a spoon, not a fork. It was fold the tape over. Fold the tape over. Fold the tape over. These will all be on our Instagram page if you guys forget them. That's one of my favorite Noel Gallagher quotes. If you ever want to look at him, he's a very witty man.

Just look up his quotes. His favorite quote was when they asked him about his brother. They said, what's your brother like? And he goes, he's like a man living in a world of soup holding a fork. It describes a human being, the frustration and the anger. Such an insult. Disguised. All right, number three.

Next. If for some reason you move into your house and you don't have a wine opener, which happened to me. Buy screw tops? Huh? Buy screw tops. No, you don't have that. opener which happened to me um by screw tops huh by screw tops no you don't have that you have a cork in your wine bottle how did you get it out well since you just built furniture you have a screw gun and screws and probably a hammer so you drill in a screw to the top of the cork and pry it out with the back of a hammer go it'd be less time to go buy one yeah it doesn't work i used to use high heels in college when we didn't

need it we would just stick the the heel into it and you push the cork in but whatever we were i'll just get the cask wine don't you drink cranberry vodkas anyway when i've never seen you drink wine yeah well other people drink it and i had to figure out how to open it and so he used a screwdriver against glass. A drill. Yeah. An electric drill. An electric drill. The hammer. In my defense, I looked up life hacks just to get inspiration for what a life hack is because I did it wrong.

And this one did pop up. So I'm not the only person who's done this life hack. Were the rest of your hacks on the list? His next hack is if a friend of yours has shards of glass in their throat call 911 um this last one i learned from a mentor in the world tommy caprio oh god so nervous yeah if some foreigners come into your country what you do is you build a wall make it tall he calls this tommy time okay and it's when you go to ihop and you know how they have four different syrups that i hop ask for four ramekins so you can put the syrups in the different dishes so you can dip and use

them all you have to commit to one that you pour on top of your pancake can't you just pour a little bit at a time yeah but they have all why would you do that it seeps and spills everywhere you have why would you want those four flavors also the only good ones the maple the synthetic sort of raspberry one they have oh the butterscotch one's all right wait you dip the pancakes into the ramekins right i hop aren't going to be happy about that yeah why don't i help have ramekins what are they making? Souffles? It's like they put like hot chocolates and coffees on.

Yeah, a little. Well, Jack. Well, Jack, that was very good. Very good. You had a month to think of those. Well, we didn't end shirtless this time. There's still time. Jack, take your shirt off.

No, at the moment he's pantless he's sitting at home just with his dick out if you're having a wank and you don't have lube just do it life hack use a guitar pick hey can you do something for me right now can you pull a guitar pick out of your wallet

yeah oh god oh he lives by the rules. Is there a condom in there, too? I have three. I have one that's Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here thing. And then I have

a yellow and black one. Oh, I guess this one is Sloppy Joe's, which is a bar in Key West. Is this in case there are multiple unspoken for guitars at a party? I think I've just collected these. When were you at Sloppy Joe's? When I was in Key West. Yeah, I know. When? When were you in Key West?

I know where Sloppy Joe's is. Spring break. I don't know, like eight years ago? Yeah. Did you ever go on spring break, Jack? No, I stayed here. I went to Universal Studios when no one was there. Ah, good, good work. I always used to watch TV, American television,

and I was fascinated by Spring Break. You're all going to Spring Break. In Australia, we have a thing called Schoolies. Schoolies. Of course, it ends in an E. Schoolies. Fucking Schoolies. And you go up to the gull case.

You go up to gull-y for for schoolies and you all get fucked up. But we can do it at 18. We're not like you stupid Americans. We still drink. I know, but I'm telling you, you could bring down like frat culture and all those problems that happen if you have an 18-year-old because people wouldn't be having house parties that get out of control. If you can go to a bar.

When I went to a bar when I was 18 or 17, 17 like underage i had to fucking watch myself because someone could punch me in the head because i was acting like a dickhead because i was 17 or 18 yeah right some 25 year old could look at me and go what the fuck are you doing cunt right where if you're all partying at fucking 18 and like the oldest person there's 19 or 20 or something like that there's nothing yeah i started drinking pretty young. And by the time I got to college, it's like you know how much you can handle. You know before you're going to black out or get sick. And everybody else is just a fucking mess.

I didn't go to frat parties. I had a fake ID. I went to bars. Yeah, but was your fake ID working when you were 17? No. I had a fake ID that was working when I was 16. I used to use my brother's expired license because we looked a little bit alike because we're brothers, you see. And I would use his expired license and I'd go drinking with him.

He was like 21 at the time. And we would just walk in with the same ID next to each other. Just two different bounces. They never put it together. And the big trick was for any of you young kids and you're listening right now, how do I use my fake ID? I don't know if it still happens, but know the star sign of the ID that you've got. That's something they'll ask.

And I don't know how these – I'm not sure if these bouncers have actually memorized the star signs. Yeah, you just say something confidently. You have to say Capricorn to say it confidently. Yeah, I had a fake ID with a girl from the basketball team. She was also 6'2 and blonde. And I think we didn't look alike at all, but I think the idea that there would be another 6'2 person. It says you're 6'2 on the ID.

Yeah. So I think they're like, I've never seen a woman this tall, so this must be her. That's a good one. You can also do what I did, which is just not drink till you're 22. Nope. All right, should we go to an ad and then introduce our guest? Let's read some ads.

I've never taken, and I've taken Jack because, yeah, because Jack, I remember we lost Jack and Hank at Disneyland, me and your brother.

That's why you're not allowed to take them to Disneyland. And we had to walk around going, Jack, Hank. And it was like we were looking for two old men with dementia. They're just five-year-olds. All right. Let me introduce Guy. Guy Hutchinson, host of the Drunk on Disney podcast, also the author of Bippity Boozity Book, a cocktail guide with Disney-themed drinks and toast.

Sesame Place, the official book about the history of the Sesame Street theme park. Both are available on Amazon, Walmart, along with other books he's written. And Bippity, Bippity, I'm sorry. I already said that. Twitter, you can find him at Guy Hutchinson. That's G-U-Y-H-U-T-C-H-I-N-S-O-N. The Michael Hutchinson ride, not good.

That's true. Not good. You're suspended in the air for such a long time. They had it there for a while, and they got rid of it and Put Pirates of the Caribbean back in Guy can you tell us a little bit Like how you Put a moustache in him, it's Jack Parrow

I forgot his name Sparrow If you blacklight the Pirates of the Caribbean ride You'll see the remnants Can you Guy can you tell us a little bit about how you got to be An expert in Disney Or gotten to write books a little bit about how you got to be an expert and or disney or got into the right books and a podcast how this would come to be yeah it i mean i've been a fan of disney

parks and other theme parks forever uh and then when i had my own child i took him to sesame place which is a uh sesame street theme park and i had gone there as a child but not until i had a child and there was a lot of stuff that was really different. So I started telling my friends like, oh, they changed this and they changed that. It led to me blogging about it. And that led to the park reaching out to me and saying, hey, could you write a book on the history of our parks? I got to go see their archives, go to other archives and look up information. I learned how to kind of archive the history of something. And I also, meanwhile, because I love Disney parks,

I met a friend named Dana Snyder, who's a voice actor. He does Granny on Squidbillies and Master Shake on Aquatine. And we both love Disney parks. So we started doing Drunk on Disney, where we talk about old Disney stuff and also would give recipes to some of the cocktails that Disney serves that are, you know, specifically their cocktails. So we'd give recipes to that. And, and so, so since then I've tried to fill my brain with as much information about the parks as I can. Secret ingredient sugar. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I had people all the time will say, what's your favorite Disney cocktail?

I'm like, they're not really that good. They're super sweet drinks. So where's Sesame Place? It's in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. It's just outside of Philadelphia. Ah, a destination. Oh, wow, wow. They have the gay district, Burt and Ernie.

They're roommates, Jim. You want to go out to the dumpster and see Oscar? When you went back with your kid, did you still like it as much? It's wonderful, but it had grown so much. The idea when they built it back in 1980 was that they were going to build tons of these. They had an idea to build 14 over the course of like five years across the country. And they were all going to be these small little, um, not really amusement parks. They were these play places where kids had to do

physical activities and learn things. And it had changed so much. I mean, it was just, I couldn't understand when I went through it with my kid, I was like, this, you know, seems so much bigger. Usually things seem smaller than they did when you were little, you know, seemed bigger. And it was because it really was. And it's a neat place. It's, it's still open, you know, and, and they're building a second one out in California. So there'll be one in San Diego. There you go.

Yeah. Sesame, but my kids do all the sesame place. Hank will be old, but it's, you know. I'm thinking of having another kid. So, you know, we might have a sesame place in my future. Okay. So here's what we're going to do. Hank will be old by the time I'm out. I'm thinking of having another kid, so you don't know. We might have a Sesame Place in my future. Okay, so here's what we're going to do. I'm going to ask Jim everything he thinks he knows about Disney and just the whole – everything about Disney. Just a quick thing on Sesame Place.

Are you allowed to go there as an adult without a child? They've never stopped me, so yeah, I don't think – I know like Legoland has that rule. And Chuck E. Cheese, too. Yeah, Legoland's like this. No, no. And there's lots of adults at like Lego. Like Jack would love to go to Legoland.

Jack loves Lego. Oh, Jack on our show, Jack. Yeah, Jack loves Lego. Also my nephew, Jack. I bought for Christmas, I bought a Lego set. And I accidentally bought two of the same set. You know when you do that on Amazon? Like, when did I press the wrong thing?

And two of them arrived, and I was going to send it back. I said, Jack, I go, Jack, return this to Amazon for me, right? And Jack just looked at the box like, oh, this is a good one, like that. And then I went, do you want it, Jack? It was like a $100 Lego set. And he goes, can I? And so then I was making my Lego set, well, with Hank, right? We were doing it together.

And then we got two bags left, Jack. And he goes, I did mine in one sitting because I'm an addict. Jack is Jim's 25-year-old assistant. He's not here today. Just to fill in-year-old assistant. He's not here today. Just to fill in the context of that story. He's usually here. Maybe he's listening in. I don't know.

All right, so we're going to ask Jim everything he thinks about Disney. I'm going to prod him along with some questions. I know stuff, man. Yeah, I think you might know some stuff. And then, Guy, you're going to grade him 1 through 10, 10 being the best on his knowledge of Disney, accuracy of his knowledge. And Kelly's going to grade him 1 through 10, 10 being the best on 0 through 10 on his knowledge of Disney, accuracy of his knowledge. And Kelly's going to grade him 0 through 10 on confidence. I'm going to grade him on et cetera.

And then we'll add them together. And you'll be one of the various rodents. 21 through 30, Mickey Mouse. That's the best one. That's what you want to be. Overrated character. 11 through 20, Chuck E. Cheese. He's a terrible character.

He's a fucking useless character. 0 through 10, Lemmy W cat zero through ten lemmy winks who's lemmy winks you know watch south park i have he's the i've been out for a few years i watched like the pandemic special the germ old that's oh yeah yeah you don't want to be lemmy winks that's the worst one all right so uh let's start when was disney founded and and what were the brothers names who founded it the brothers names I didn't know those brothers I thought it was just a guy called

Walt Disney I watch documentaries on Walt Disney he was a funny founder I just get questions from what I see on the internet Guy will tell us if I'm right or wrong oh well Walt and Dennis Disney Dennis Disney is a better name than Walt Dennis Disney. Dennis Disney is better than Walt. Dennis Disney is dope.

Seriously. Yeah, and then when was it? Disneyland was, oh, God, so 1950s. California was the first park. I'm talking about Disney. Oh, Disney. We're talking about everything Disney. Animation. Yeah, Disney was steamboat willie and that's not the question no no but that was that one just saying that was the first thing so i'm trying to i'm trying to gauge about that um

oh i'm gonna say 19 he came back from the war in 1948. Okay. What was their initial industry or expertise? Disney. It wasn't animation to begin with. He liked to make little films where it was like stop motion, like special effects things where it looked like you were running really fast or you fell through something like turning cameras on side, like special effects. So film and special effects, okay.

What were some of their earliest cartoons? Steamboat Willie, which was Mickey Mouse just going whistling and fucking spinning a wheel around. And then there was another, but before Steamboat Willie, he had like another Mickey Mouse-like character that was more like a rabbit that had longer ears, but it was the same sort of like head. It was a similar look to Mickey Mouse, but it was, I'm going to call him Randy Rabbit.

Randy Rabbit. Yeah. And then when was Mickey Mouse created and what was his original name? Steamboat Willie. Willie. Steamboat Willie. What was his original name? Willie.

Willie. Yeah. Just Willie. Yeah, Willie. And what, do you know what year he was created? 1952. steamboat really was his original name willie willie yeah just willie yeah willie and what do you know what year he was created um 1952 okay um and what was disney's first sound cartoon called uh the first motion picture with sound the first cartoon was sound oh i don't know i know the first motion picture was can i just help you out you do know it you said it ten times

i'm giving you this you said it so much that you'd be mad if snow white and seven dwarfs was the first major major that first feature length okay that was my next question all right and. And when was Disneyland open in Disney World? Disneyland was open in the late 1950s. Okay. Disneyland? Disneyland. Late 1950s.

No, Disney World didn't open until after Walt was dead. What year? He already had all the floor planned for it. He had it all worked out. He bought some swampland in the middle of Florida, which turns out is the only land you can buy in florida and he bought basically orlando which is a little nothing town and all the stuff around it so he could expand it and he had an idea that like the world would be that would it would be a utopia

of future world and this and that and there'd be all this underground stuff as well okay so that's my next question what city is disney world located in? Disney World is located in Orlando. Orlando, okay. How big is the land area of Disney World? I know that the land area of Disney World is so big that you can fit Disneyland in the car park. I don't know if that's an exact measurement, but that's a fun little fact.

Okay. Well, we'll just leave it at that. What was the original price of admission at Disney World? A tuppence. One tuppence? Yeah, it was one tuppence, and then you had to buy another tuppence in there to feed the birds. Tuppence a bag.

Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag. I got it. It would have been four bucks. Four bucks. What is it now? Do you know? Oh, no. It depends on whether you got a monthly pass or whatever.

The way I do it with a private tour, it's three and a half grand. But they buy the tickets on top. For the family of five? I don't know. Just regular tickets. It's like, oh, I want to say like $110 or $70. $110. Sounds right. I don't know what it is actually.

How many visitors per day does Disney World get? Visitors per day. Does Disney World? Disney World, yeah. You can say Disneyland. I think Disneyland gets, because I had a private tour and someone told me this. I think it's 100,000 people at Disneyland a day. Uh-huh.

Not right now, but yeah. Not right now. And world? You don't have any idea? The world, let's double it. 200,000. 200,000. All right.

How many employees does Disney employ? 14. Wow. They get so much done. The workload is insane. Disney employees, I hear they're not paid terrifically well, but I would say worldwide Disney, we're including Hong Kong Disneyland and Paris Disneyland

and all that type of stuff. And movies and all that shit. Paris Disneyland and all that type of stuff. And movies and all that shit. And movies and all that type of stuff. I would say that they have 600,000 employees. That's a lot. Yeah, it's a lot. More than 14. Yeah.

Take it in, Mitch. Have the theme... Oh, have the theme parks ever closed? And if so, when? Well, they have closed for coronavirus. I think the one here in LA is still closed, but the one in Florida is up and running. But the first time I ever went

was because there was a measles outbreak. Remember when they thought Disneyland was ground zero and Hank had been been vaccinated so i was like we got a disneyland he's only like he's only like two or something and he's like there was no one there it was the best yeah so you want to go during a measles outbreak corona not so much because we haven't got a vaccine yet uh but has it ever been closed before covid has there ever been closed if so when like for a day or two or yeah probably for a day i i think it's probably maybe it's closed one day i think it's open 365 days a year uh i imagine there was something um after the day jfk got killed they shut it down for the day. Kids don't want to see Mickey then. Yeah, yeah.

When did Walt Disney die? And I'm not sure if this is real or not, Guy, you can tell me. And what were his last words? I wrote that in there. Was that true? It's sort of true. We'll talk about it. I reckon he died in 1971 and his last words were um uh goofy was overrated okay

you don't like or he went like this he went like this it wasn't that uh pluto was mentally challenged it was just that goofy was really intelligent because there's two dogs and they hang out together one was either like either pluto was a simpleton or goofy was a genius okay um there's a bunch of other stuff on here i think what we'll do guys i'll just after we go through all these questions we'll just kind of throw this stuff out we can talk about it that way it makes all right how did jim deuce on zero to ten on what we asked him i mean so overall yeah yeah I think like a seven there were some there was some amazing answers yeah some you know some

that were close and some that weren't okay so I can tell you where his apartment was where Disney's apart was is but above the fire it's next to and above the fire station in Disneyland just as you reach that main circle I've been to that because the little private tour. Oh, the tour of Texas. Confidence? Confidence. I mean, he came in confident, so I'd give him an eight on that.

But believability slipped a little bit. So let's give it a six altogether. Six, yeah. I'm going to make you make. You said you didn't like Chuck E. Cheese. Let me make. So for et cetera, I'm just going to bump you up. You didn't ask me the questions that I know things about.

I'm making you Mickey Mouse tan you're gonna 23 On the brothers who wrote all the songs And each day one of them had to come in on a Friday afternoon and sing feed the birds and Walt sat there smoking cigarettes Going these are healthy for me, right? Walt died of lung cancer see I know things Yeah, so you could but you don't have to just go by the questions every time i do that you go now he's doing that thing where he just says things that's not what i said it's when you it's when you when you take a question that you don't even

answer that question but you answer it with another thing what's the best part about gathering for a sporting event i know what you're thinking. Probably the sport. And you'd be right. But also, the snacks play a very important part. People don't want to come over to your house if you have shit snacks. You want to have the good snacks. That's how you keep your friends. And how are you going to keep the friends? Whether you're going to be watching the big game or not,

there's a reason to celebrate. Butcher Box. Butcher Box. Butcher Box is adding one rack of St. Louis ribs. They're the pork ribs. They're the good ones. One pack of bacon and one pack of pulled pork for free in your first box. That's about a whole pig they're giving you for nothing, for free.

Butcher Box believes everyone deserves high-quality, humanely-sourced meat. Each month, they send a box of the highest-quality meat for a better price than the grocery stores. You go to the grocery stores, your bloody Whole Foods, you fucking go in there, you go to buy meat,

at the end, you're like, I should have just gone out to a restaurant where someone else cooked for me. It was that expensive. Not with ButcherBot, which gives me more time to spend cooking and sharing delicious meals with my families and friends. And that homeless bloke who just wanders around my yard.

Never be without something to cook for dinner because there's always meat in the freezer. You open your freezer, people go, oh, there's no food in the fridge. There's no food in the fridge, Dad. We've got no food. I open the freezer. People go, oh, there's no food in the fridge. No food in the fridge, Dad. We've got no food. I open the freezer, you dumb prick. Ah, thanks, Dad. But I'm seven.

You're telling me that I can't cook ribs by myself. That's true. All right, I'll get off the couch. One less trip to the grocery store and better and more affordable. Have you guys tried ButcherBox? I've been a subscriber for two plus years now. Really? I fucking love

ButcherBox. Really? It's so great. Their filet mignon is like some of the best I've ever had. Forrest? I haven't but I'm going to take some of Kelly's. We don't need to subscribe. We just go over to Kelly's house for the big game. If you guys cook it.

You've had it for two years? I didn't know that. I'm obsessed with it. Was it from the old podcast? I think I knew about it before the old podcast, but now I've been consistent with it. It's really good. Well, you should be because all their meats are free of antibiotics

and added hormones. None of that stuff. Each box has 9 to 11 lb pounds. Because that read, each box 9-11. Whoa. 9-11 of beef in here. Each box has 9 to 11 pounds of meat meat enough for 24 individual meals, packed fresh and shipped frozen and vacuum sealed so it stays that way.

Fresh, fresh, fresh. I can customize my box or go with one of theirs. Either way, I get exactly what I want. So they have the boxes there where they have, oh, you can buy it with all these different things or you can go in and customize your own one. I do like mostly filet mignon, but they have lobster now, I think, and I need to try that.

I love lobster. I love lobster. Butcher Box is the most affordable and convenient way to get healthy, humanely raised meat. With Butcher Box, you get the highest quality meat around about $6 a meal. $6 a meal. $6 a meal. You spend that at McDonald's and the meat there is garbage.

And they even have free shipping nationwide except for Alaska and Hawaii. Yeah, got to be mainland. Yeah, I'm going to actually go for other American territories and I'm just going to make a guess. Guam, you're out of luck. Right now you can get a free rack of St. Louis ribs, one pack of bacon and one pack of pulled pork in your first box. That's one rack of St. Louis ribs, one pack of bacon,

and one pack of pulled pork for free in your first box. Just go to butcherbox.com slash IDK. That's butcherbox.com slash IDK. Free ribs, free bacon, free pulled pork. What have you got to lose? I asked Jim whenney was founded he said 1948 and he said it's walt and dennis disney is that right guy yeah no the dates are much earlier um so walt disney founded first laugh-o-gram studios and then his brother joined him to create the disney brothers studios and then they turned that into the Walt Disney Company.

But the date you're looking for is around 1923. Okay. So he fought in the first World War. Yes. He came home from the war, which is correct. When you said he came home from the war, I was like, yes. And then you said 1940s. I said, no.

And his brother was not named Dennis, I assume. He was not Dennis. His brother was Roy. And if you ever look at them, it's really Roy was the one that was not picked to be on television. I mean, it's like, it's totally like all the handsome jeans and the mustache went to the one guy.

The other guy is a bald head and, you know, right. So Tom Hanks played Walt Disney and Chad Hanks played Roy. Oh yeah. He doesn't, he doesn't. Yeah. He's not good looking. Yeah. Yeah. Walt Disney was no played Roy. Oh, yeah. He doesn't. What's up, bro? He doesn't. Yeah, he's not good looking.

Yeah. Walt Disney was no water painter. No, but like Roy is. Yeah, Roy. Yeah, Roy didn't get it. Walt had like, you know, a mustache and a full head of hair. And Roy was just kind of a dud. Yeah.

Yeah. But Roy was. Because I know he picked up smoking in the thing. And I was thinking, of course it was the First World War. Why did I say the Second World War? He died. Anyway. Okay. picked up smoking in the thing and i was of course it was the first world war why did i say the second world war you don't anyway okay but roy was the very financially smart one and so roy kind of helped guide walt because walt would have spent all his money on you know creating the next big thing every day but uh roy was really the one that helped make the country the company a success

um and their initial industry or expertise jim said film special effects yeah he was absolutely right you know he they did do a lot of walt did a lot of stuff where he would draw something and then it would you know jump out of his uh you know his drawing table uh they did a lot of live action combined with animation and and so yeah no absolutely uh that was what he did very early before mickey mouse they were like an early pixar like with the technology and all that type of stuff where they weren't really making anything but they were doing experimental stuff so walt was like more of the creative thing is what you're saying and absolutely yeah no he was absolutely yeah okay that makes sense then that's why he'd be the face of it well maybe right like you said maybe

roy used to come in and go put some pants on the duck only fits um what were there some of the earliest cartoons uh yeah yeah so you jumped right to mickey mouse but and you did mention oswald the lucky rabbit yeah um and but they also had a series of cartoons that were very successful. The Alice comedies, which was a live action little girl interacting with cartoon characters. And it was, you know, play on Alice in Wonderland. And they did multiple, you know, about, you know, 10 or more of them. So that was the first one. And then I've seen a documentary on all of this.

And it's all. Well, you did well so far yeah you just missed the war oswald the rabbit right the rabbit oswald the lucky rabbit yeah the rabbit that's they sell those years at disneyland and they're always worn by hipsters it's like i don't buy it fucking mickey mouse is i'm old school i get i get oswald the rabbit yeah i'm carrying my typewriter around with me so um when mickey was created uh i don't even know i didn't write it down here but um oh 1952 and his original name was willie is that correct yeah no it's 1928 uh steamboat willie is the name of that cartoon but mickey doesn't play

steamboat willie uh the title was just a play on a Buster Keaton film called Steamboat Bill Jr. that was out at the same time. So it's always very confusing that people assume either that he was Willie or the Steamboat was Willie. The original name that he had was Mortimer. Apparently, this is the story Walt tells, is that he named him Mortimer and his wife said, no, that's too pompous. you should name him Mickey um by the way if you ever see Steamboat Willie uh Mickey's really mean in it he tortures animals throughout it and in the end there's a parrot that's laughing at him so he throws a potato at him then listens to hear if he's drowning and when he is Mickey cackles happily and the thing fades to black. Really? I thought- Holy shit, he's a serial killer.

I thought Stainbone Willie was just him just- Whistling. Whistling and- They only showed that clip. They only showed that clip of him at the steering wheel. That's his- His PR team did a good job. All the serial killing was under wraps.

Yeah, no, most of it is him like taking animals and using them as accordions and stuff. It's horrific. Of course, it was world war one i'm just remembering now like still stuck up yeah i know because of course it is because i remember now there's that one there's that one with donald duck and he's like and the like the nazis and he's like you're listening that's a weird cartoon oh yeah yeah we don't know if it's pro or anti-nazi who it was quite made for.

There were some very bad stereotypes of the Japanese in there. Look at it on YouTube and you decide. The Disney company did a lot of war propaganda stuff for the US. So they did a film called Victory Through Air Power, which is a full length, mostly animated film about, you know, how we would win the war. So, yeah, they did a lot of they did a lot of good war stuff. You can look online. Interesting to look back at. Wow. And then Disney's first sound cartoon was Steamboat Willie, right? It was. It was the first one with synchronized sound. Yeah.

Steamboat Willie. Yeah. And he was killing animals. Using his accordions. I like that he throws a potato at a parrot. Not many people know that Mickey from Rocky was actually based on Mickey Mouse from some of the early work. I'm going to make you eat thunder and shit lightning. It's like the most recognized brand in the world now, and it started with that. Peter would get involved. Some animal on animal cruelty.

I'll tell you what about Peter. They never get into anyone else, any other animals when they kill an animal. They only get into us. When a lion eats an animal, Peter doesn't go, what are you doing? Because lions don't have Facebook. Only we're in trouble. The first feature length was Snow White. That's what Jim said.

Yeah, it is Snow White. Yeah. 1930, 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Fucking hell, that far back. 1937 snow white and the seven dwarves that far back 1937 okay yeah i was i remember when i was reading like how far back they the the cartoons must have taken forever to make these oh my goodness they just painted the cells right or however they did i don't even know what they did tell me if i got this order right so we go i think i think i could do it right here we got we're gonna go snow white and the Seven Dwarfs. Next, we're going to go Pinocchio.

Okay. Next, we're going to go Fantasia. Yep. All right. And then Cars 2. Yeah. That's exactly it. Wait, you're with Fantasia, mate?

Fantasia was the third film. Really? Yeah. I think you're right, yeah. I'm trying to look up all this right now. There was a special effect on Pinocchio where he went underwater and they did like a thing that made it move like that. It was mind-blowing to everyone.

And then Fantasia was the one where he came in and he said, I want to do things with music and light and this. I've watched Fantasia. We used to watch it on acid. Oh, yeah. I was thinking we should do it on mushrooms. And I remember even to this day watching this stuff the fact that that was made that long ago it looks amazing you got snow

white pinocchio fantasia dumbo bambi is your top five that's good first five i remember the first three i did watch something something in the recess of me brain that remembers something um when was disneyland opened and um and disney world disneyland you said in the 50s disney world after that no that's you got that no no the disney disneyland opened after he died like disney world you mean disney world because he never saw he never actually saw it finished um and so i'm going to say that was born that was made 1973 and disneyland was 1956 i mean you're pretty close 1955 uh for for disneyland and then 1971 for walt disney world um for context though uh i think you're interchangeably using walt disney world for

the magic kingdom park but that's walt disney world is the name of the whole the whole place For context, though, I think you're interchangeably using Walt Disney World for the Magic Kingdom Park. But Walt Disney World is the name of the whole place, you know, and then the Magic Kingdom. That's what I do, though. I say Disney World for Florida. No, that's what I'm saying. There were a couple of questions that it was a little iffy because of that. But, yeah. Oh, boy.

Sorry about that. I grew up in Florida. So to me, it was always like Disney. And someone had told me I didn't even know. He's like Swamp Thing. I didn't even know Disneyland existed I just knew about Disney World and every I would go there every year for my birthday and um we didn't have a lot of money growing up so my mom would like save on a hotel she'd wake up at like 2 a.m or what 3 a.m drive to Disney World get to when it opened so we would have that whole day without like a hotel and then we'd go around the park we'd stay one night we'd go to the park the next day and then she'd drive home and World, get to it when it opened. So we would have that whole day without a hotel. And then we'd go around the park.

We'd stay one night. We'd go to the park the next day. And then she'd drive home. And she'd get a speeding ticket every year. Remember that. Every year she'd get a speeding ticket. Could have just bought the bloody hotel. Why?

Because she got the speeding ticket. Yeah, yeah. That is true. Yeah, good point. Just drive at the right pace and have a nice sleep. And if you, I don't know if this was a thing, but if it was your birthday, you got to ride in the front of the monorail so i did that all right it was a fun

you still allow that yeah ah so you just tell them it's your birthday they don't check ids they don't anymore though oh no okay yeah no they there was an accident with the monorails a number of years ago and so they no longer they that used to be something you could ask for anybody could ask for and if you waited long enough they'd let you it. They don't have monorails anymore, you're saying? No, they do have monorails. They had a monorail crash, I want to say like five years ago or maybe about 10 years ago at this point. And because the driver was killed in that,

they said, you know, we're not gonna put anybody- Oh, great, but how do you have a monorail crash? Yeah, one of them was just sitting there and the other one was pulling in. It's stunning that it happened. There's a couple of trains. I thought it was just sitting there and the other one was pulling in. It's stunning. There's a couple of trains. I thought there was just the one train on a track. It killed him just from one sitting there and the other one crashing into it.

What do you mean just from that? I don't know. One vehicle smashing into the other. Have you ever been in a monorail? Yeah. They're fast. But it's been a long... Oh, I guess I was thinking it was like pulling into the station or something, like slowing

down and bumping somebody. No, no, no. They're like... They go... I mean, in my recollection, I go pretty fast. I don't think they're good crumple zones. Yeah, no. And the front of it is all glass. It's just like a windshield in the front, basically. Yeah, because it used to go through that that that hotel, too.

I don't even know where it's called, but that would blow my mind. Contemporary. Yeah, you go into the hotel. It's like, all right, that would blow Forrest's mind. I was 11 or 10. What do you have kicking around Australia I'll tell you what we had in Australia One day

We'll do this We had a theme park called Australia's Wonderland That was outside of Sydney that had the first pirate ship That went all the way over Like it did a full thing Other pirate ships, I think they're everywhere now But we had the first one that went all the way over We're very proud of that And. Other pirate ships just rocked. I think they're everywhere now, but we had the first one

that went all the way over. We're very proud of that. And it had a roller coaster that was made out of wood. The biggest wooden roller coaster in the world called the Bush Beast. Yeah.

I've had sex with a few of them in me day. The Bush Beast. And then there was a little one called the Beastie, which was a smaller version of it,

which kids that were a bit weak would go, I actually prefer the Beastie because it's smoother, right? Get on the Bush Beast, you pussy. Anyway, and then we had, we have, you know, you have like Universal here.

We have Warner Brothers Movie Land. Warner Brothers Movie Land in Queensland, and they had on the whitewater rafting thing about maybe five years ago, they had an accident where the boat flipped and a whole lot of people died. Yeah, yeah. So there you go. Yeah, so that sounds like a good theme park. Yeah.

Yeah, so there you go. So that sounds like a good theme park. Yeah. They also had an ALF ride there where ALF, the talking alien, was fighting the gremlins. Wait, in Australia? Yeah. Yeah, it makes sense.

There was also a ride. Wait a second. There was also a ride in Warner Brothers Movie Land, I think it's still there, which was Young Einstein. You know that movie with Yahoo! Serious? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, where you walked on a slanted thing,

and it looked like water was going upwards and stuff, and everything was an optical illusion. You're like, oh, that's pretty good. Pretty good. Enjoy that. They had won it. They had won it. Alf was fighting the gremlins?

Yes. What is confusing about this? They're both like alien things. Alf was fighting the gremlins? Yes. What is confusing about this? They're both like alien things. Alf was our friend. The gremlins weren't. It stands to reason that he would get in place. They did it at two different parks, one in Germany and one in Australia. One of them had Alf fighting the gremlins.

I think the other one is Beetlejuice fighting the gremlins. But, yeah yeah the gremlins had to fight against another character that's awesome that's easy to fight against beetle just don't say his name three times he doesn't show up beetlejuice was helping us the gremlins are always the villain okay i don't know if beetlejuice is helping us in germany like the australians weren't silly like that. We had Alf. That'd be ridiculous. We have Alf here. Hey, I'm two feet tall. Hey, gremlins.

My spaceship. Okay. What city is Disney? I guess Magic Kingdom, is it? What city is the Magic Kingdom located in? Orlando, you say, Jim? Orlando, Florida. Yeah.

I mean, everybody says Orlando. Orlando is the major city nearby. It's actually a really confusing answer because Walt created his own government, which was called the Reedy Creek Improvement District. They're located in Bay Lake, Florida, but their mailing address is Lake Buena Vista. But everybody says Orlando, and I think that's a good answer. He created his own government? Buena Vista the company oh yeah

so the own government yeah I'm stuck on that can you expound on that please well they have you know so they could have their own fire department their own you know so they could take care of everything and not have to be beholden to local government it's not like the main

government I know it's not the main government. I live here. Haven't you been watching the news? They stormed the Magic Kingdom. They were all in there sitting in Walt's office, leaving notes. Did they have the vaccine, the Reedy Creek? How big is the land area of the Magic Kingdom? I'm just going to replace disney world magic

kingdom for these jim jim said they could fit the car park i'm sorry the disney land into the car park of magic kingdom you yeah you can um the uh i want to say it's 300 acres the the land mass which i thought we were going to talk about for walt disney world is 40 miles, which is just enormous. You mean for all the parks? Yeah, for all the parks, the hotels, and all the open land that they have, everything. It's mental, yeah. The idea was Walt had built in Anaheim, and he built, he found a nice area that he liked that was kind of quiet. And then next thing you know, all these stores popped up and motels and everything else.

And he said, I want to buy a huge parcel of land for the next one so no one else can just build right next to us you know so we don't have to deal with any gaudy you know our only our own gaudy stuff we don't want anybody else's so you have enough is it true that the one of one of the original places at disneyland they were going to put disneyland like with charvez ravine i've never heard that he wanted to build it uh he wanted to Disneyland, they were going to put Disneyland with Chavez Ravine. I've never heard that. He wanted to build it right across from his office, right across the street so he could walk there.

But, yeah, so you think they were near Dodger Stadium? No, it was meant to be where Dodger Stadium is. It may have been if it was early enough because they built it in 55, so Dodger Stadium would have been built, I guess, a year before that. Yeah, the Dodgers bought it out because Disney was thinking of Chavez Ravine. That made the drive easier. Small, though.

I know. He wanted to build a very small place. I'll tell you where it was based on. He loved Tivoli in Copenhagen. That's right. That's absolutely right. We went there. We went to Tivoli. Tivoli in copenhagen that's right yeah that's absolutely yeah we went there we went to tivoli tivoli was the place and tivoli is a magical little square in the middle of copenhagen which was very small but it is we went there in the middle of right before christmas and it was lovely snow and everything everywhere and that was the park that he sort of because

there is a myth that that disney Disneyland's the first ever theme park, and it's like number seven or something. Yeah, no, it was by no means the first one. Yeah, he had other things to look at and get ideas from. So there was some, yeah, I guess, so he bought all the land in Florida. That makes sense because when I was young, I remember when we would get there, there was nothing around there really. It wasn't exactly in Orlando, like you're saying it's just like east west of it and it's

like that area i remember just that hotel we would stay at it would be nothing there it's like where the florida project that maybe was like where we'd stay in that area but yeah yeah and i mean you turn through their gates and there's always a they try to have a nice big buffer i mean it's it's getting smaller and smaller now because they're building so many things there, so many hotels and whatever, you know, owned by Disney. Disney's building so much. But, you know, the idea was that, you know, you kind of really had to leave, you know, the world behind to get there. Yeah. But now you go there, there are the different shops and stuff.

Like I stay down at the Disney Pier area. So do they pay rent to Disney to be there? Oh, right, right. The people who sell the flip-flops and all that type of stuff. The Wetzel's Pretzels. Yeah, I went there every year for a volleyball championship. So we played at the Wide World of Sports or something like that. Oh, sure, yeah.

So we did that, and then we went to Disney World to try to pick up hot 15-year-old dudes. Right. This was last year. I was 27. Yeah, that's where they're doing the NBA games, the quarantine games. All right. Okay, so I've been there.

You can pick up at a theme park when you're a teenager. Oh, for sure. That's the real thing. That's where you go. Yeah, yeah, because other groups of teenagers just walk around. I copped off when I was about 15. I made out with a girl at Australia's Wonderland. Yeah, and they also had in the downtown, or i don't know if it's called downtown disney but they had all those like

clubs and stuff like that until you'd be at what seemed like a nightclub but it's just all teenagers right now jack jack's not here but he's listening to the episode at home going that's what you do yeah that was pleasure island oh yeah pleasure, yeah. Pleasure Island. I forgot about Pleasure Island. Yeah, because when we were in high school, they would load us on a bus and they would let us have the run of the park, the high schoolers, after it would close. And that was pretty fun. Grad night.

Grad night. So, yeah. It's all coming back. Grab night? Yeah, yeah. Grad. Grad. Oh.

Well, I think it was a little of both, though. It ended up being grab night. It was a little of both It ended up being Grab Night It was a different time Come on kids Come out to Grab Night Grab them and hold them down Bring your masks It was like that though

Like you were saying your hormones were like We're on a bus there's no parents It's night time we're at Disney I got into the Universal And I've been to the Not Scary Farm. I do the Halloween mazes and all that type of stuff. And it was the first time I experienced Halloween was going to these theme parks when I came to America. I was like, this is amazing.

Americans do these big things, yeah? And then I go, do you get dressed up in an outfit or something like that? And the tour guide we had goes, we had to stop that because there were some problems. People didn't know who were employees and who, like it's banned from wearing outfits to the Halloween thing. Because some people go, I'm a staff member. Come with me. Private tour.

What was the original price of admission? Jim says $4. Now it's $110. Yeah. Well, he's pretty close with the $110. He was dead on, I think, with the $3,500 for the guided tour with the woman in the vest. Oh, no, no, I know, I know. He's done it.

Because when I do it, I tell everybody that I'm paying for over and over how much it costs. When I heard that, I said, well, you got to give a 10 on that. So when they opened in California, it was a dollar. And in Florida, it was $3.50. And back then, you would get a ticket booklet that you had to pay for, you know, you'd pay for a different ticket booklet to go to the different rides. So the dollar only got you in the door. And then you'd buy a ticket booklet. And that's where the term e-ticket comes from. If you ever heard somebody say, oh, this is a

e-ticket ride, it was because their tickets were A, B, C, D c d and e e being the most exciting rides and you know a being you know something like a ride on the little car so you typically still does that they still do that that's where walt got it yeah yeah and i mean you know the price today it's about it fluctuates they have but it's 110 is is not far off it's different like in florida the magic kingdom costs more than the other parks by about $10. And different times of year, it's more money. But like he said, you can get all different types of passes. This is what fucks me off about the theme parks when you come in. Just have a price.

Just have a fucking price. You can have a year pass that you can buy online and show your year pass. The rest of the time, just a fucking price. Because every cunt who walks up to the fucking counter, like the line should be moving moving moving moving 100 bucks 100 bucks 100 bucks 100 bucks i'll just go through right but everyone's like this so how many people you got oh do you want to adventure fun right you want a two park pass you want an all day like full research yeah do you want to think and there's always some family with like some pigeon English going oh fuck I'm just coming

from Germany fuck I would like ride I would like to ride yeah or maybe

they should just have a German line how many visitors a day does Disney World get and then

I mean Disneyland and then the Magic Kingdom, Jim? Just quickly while you're on the thing. I went to Hong Kong Disney. And we were there. You went there? I've been to Hong Kong before I met you.

I had a life. And I went to Hong Kong. I was doing gigs out there. We were talking 15 years ago. And so I went there and I went to go to Disneyland and I got on the wrong riverboat cruise and I heard all that in Chinese. Yeah.

The jokes still work. The jokes still work. Oh, no, the hippo. Peek, peek, peek, peek, peek. It was just all in Chinese. There was another English line and I could remember getting on the boat going i feel like i'm on the right boat um 100 000 for disneyland he said and 200 000 for the magic kingdom well 200 000 is is about right for all of uh walt disney world just for you know the amount

of visitors on there so well it's i mean it ranges, and Disney doesn't release those numbers, but there's a lot of people that have estimated it's probably closer to 50,000 on a really busy day at any of their parks. They don't release the numbers, huh? Yeah. Like Netflix. They don't. One of the tour guides told me that they they they break even

all the costs of everything breaks even at 11 at 11 a.m and then it's all gravy yeah that makes sense i don't know if that's right i mean it could be the thing about those the thing about those tour guides and the disney company in general is they'll tell stories all the time that aren't true i mean you know walt would do it too i mean we were talking about you know whether his wife really said mortimer wasn't a good name i mean walt thought it was a good story so he told it over and over and so the company like if you take their tours they'll throw a bunch of facts at you that aren't real i know this with the tours right when you go on the tours they uh they they they started putting pedometers on all the people

right and it was like all the tour guides so it was like uh let's see who who does the most steps in a day blah blah blah blah for some competition with all this stuff and the guy i was with was like i'm fucking six foot three and i'm efficient like i moved move through the park. Now I get in trouble because I'm not doing as good as a fucking five foot tall woman. So he's walking like... Yeah, he's taking more steps. He was really pissed about that incentive plan.

Yeah. How many employees? Jim says around 600,000 for the entire Disney world. I think it's a little less than that. I think it's about a quarter of a million but you know and they've been going down lately unfortunately but uh by the minute but uh yeah i think it's about a quarter of a million in in the in the french

disney for the whole oh yeah in the french disneyland they don't give a fuck man you can see characters without their heads on what do you mean mean? They're just walking around? Yeah, just like I'm on a break. Smoking. With their head off. No, but it's really laxed over there. It doesn't have the magic, the Paris Disney. It doesn't have this real slapped together job, the Paris Disney.

Other than COVID, I asked Jim if it's ever been closed. He said when JFK was killed. That's dead on. They were closed for JFK. I thought that was wrong. They they did. They closed down in memory of JFK the next day. And then they got rid of the bullet head right

the boy. Right. The the Florida parks, they've closed down for hurricanes a lot. So they've had to, you know, close down over the years for that. And 9-11, I think they let people out early, but they didn't actually close for the whole day. Yeah.

And when they were leaving, they were like, never forget. Come back. What do you mean they let people out early? They closed early. Oh, they closed the doors. Did they give refunds on that? Did they? They probably did.

Oh, good, good. People probably were scared to death. That would have been a big tragedy if they did. Ask them when Walt Disney died. He said 71 and said Goofy. That was the funny thing about Goofy and Pluto. Goofy was overrated. It wasn't that Pluto was mentally challenged.

It's that Goofy was really intelligent. I mean, Goofy even has a kid, which means Goofy is procreated. Goofy was really intelligent. I mean, Goofy even has a kid, which means Goofy is procreated. Goofy fucks. Goofy's kid can fucking talk as well. Who's Goofy's kid? Max. Obviously.

I don't know Max. Come on. Never seen a Goofy adventure? No, I'm not a big Goofy fan. I didn't like Goofy. I didn't, there was something about him, I liked Pluto better. He is really codependent.

You don't have to like one or the other is is is pluto mentally challenged or is goofy just really intelligent i don't know i mean i think initially goofy i don't think he was supposed to be a dog i think he was more of a cow but still uh you know why and why does a mouse own a dog in the first place yeah like why does why is this dog still subservient to the to the mouse it's a class war all the other animals get to have a thing and then maybe he's maybe he's happy being a dog and goofy's a cow well i mean you know he's something the company says he's not a dog anymore he's just a goof his first character was called dippy dog so he you know clearly was supposed to be a dog then uh but he looked a lot like claribel cow which was a character they had at the time that they still have um but yeah i mean he's i don't know

and then i read this thing about kurt russell that they his last words with kurt russell is that yes so this is a this is is, um, sort of true, but not exactly true. It was not. So he died in 1968. He died in 1968. Uh, it was, you know, just a few years before they, they opened the park in Florida. So they had, had worked on it a little bit. It was going to be called Disney world. And his brother Roy said, let's call it Walt Disney world. Uh, you know, now that Walt is gone, you know, to make sure everybody knows that it's his part. But his so the last thing he filmed was an introduction for the movie Follow Me Boys, which he talked about Kurt Russell in it. It was supposed to be people were supposed to go to a

theater and see him introduce this movie. And he couldn't be there because he wasn't doing well. And so he recorded a filmed introduction in that he talked about Kurt Russell. So that was one of the last things he said. And then at his office after he passed away, and I'm sure his last words in the hospital had nothing to do with Kurt Russell. I don't think, you know, it was not a not a wonderful way to go out. And so I don't think he was lying in there talking about Kurt Russell. But his notepad on his desk, it just was like story ideas. And it had a bunch of just random notes. And one of the last things on there was Kurt Russell. Maybe it was a kill list.

Yeah, yeah. No, because I, you know. His last words were, where's my lighter? The thing about this is somebody told this to Kurt Russell, and Kurt Russell believed this and talked about it in interviews. So this is something that's established as a fact. But no, he wasn't lying there, taking his last breath. Sometimes, you know, because when people are about to die,

I mean, they sometimes could just say a random, and if he was working with Kurt Russell or whatever, yeah. Yeah, the remake citizen. He died from a massive erection. Kurt Russell. Here's some other things that we want to, well, you've been in some of the tunnels, right, Jim? There's secret tunnels at Disney World that nobody's allowed?

I mean, when you take the guided tour, they do walk you in back, secret there's secret tunnels at disney world that nobody's allowed or i mean no there's when you when you take the the guy to they they they do walk you in back you walk you you get in through back entrances and stuff like that oh but no tunnels no what they do is they drive you into this back car park and then there's like someone waiting there with bottles of water and snacks and they're just like hey do you want to like a snack and you're like yeah and then it's like you're with your kid and you're like, you're like, hey, don't eat candy.

And it's like, do you want like a chocolate-covered Rice Krispie Mickey head? And you look at him like, yeah, have your fucking dinner. Jim, have you only done the tour in California? I've done the tour in California

and in Orlando. I've done both. I find the Orlando, I prefer Disneyland to Disney World. I find Disney World's just too spaced out. Epcot Center sucks too. in orlando i've done i've done both i find the orlando i prefer disneyland to disney world i find disney world's just too spaced out epcot center sucks dicks i don't care what anyone says you go there and you're like you've okay first of all they have a display for canada in the country section they're like oh here's like i understand like in the 1970s it might have blown people's mind it wasn't in the 1970s it was like when i was little it was like 80s

even then world travel wasn't as popular or as affordable as it is now but it's like hey is it is there an australia land is there no there is not australia don't do australia land you don't do australia land but you fucking fucking do Canada yeah I will tell you this I know that you're making fun of Canada but when I was a kid we went to Epcot and I always remember going to the Canada one and even then being like Canada I'm gonna shit on Canada

like China was cool, Germany was cool like all the different I have many Canadian friends I love performing in Canada I'm a big fan, I tease Canada a lot and they always take it in good. I'm a big fan. I tease Canada a lot, and they always take it in good jest. I'm a big fan of Canada, but I don't need it in my Epcot setup. I don't think Epcot's aged well. I haven't been there in a long time, but I imagine it was supposed to be all the future lands.

I remember liking it a lot when I went there. They've got the Cars ride, but it's a lot more simpler now. The Cars ride in California is the money. This is shit. It is great. And they have a similar ride but it's just like whoa future whoa whoa cars will be driving everywhere right and and so that's that was you know kind of i haven't been there in years it's updated i'm assuming right guy

yeah well that's yeah so that's test track and that they modeled cars the cars right on that but the cars right is way way better um but epcot they're actually uh they were starting you know all kinds of construction just before covid started so the last time i was there was in february and they had like half the park was closed with construction walls because they're creating all kinds of new stuff so maybe it'll be better for you you've got to go to disneyland like the rides it's arguably that Six Flags has better rides, right? The roller coasters and all that stuff. No one does the presentation or the experience better than Disney.

Like that Star Wars world is fucking amazing. It's like you're walking in Star Wars. It's fucking perfect. Now, the Millennium Falcon ride, no good. Just one of those ones where you sit there and you rock around a bit. Oh, no, you're going to get shot. I haven't done the other one. Have you done the new one with the lights no it was because you to get on that when i went in february you had to get there like at 6 a.m look at your smartphone

and then you know it would put you in a group you and you had to be in the park to click it and then it would put you in a group for you know like later that night to go on it so i said no yeah well when i went i went there it was on the private tour it wasn't included on the private tour oh my goodness yeah that's that's fucked how much you have to fucking pay well that's what they because they're trying to get everybody i remember when i know now i'm losing fans by the second every time i say the word private tour someone's sitting in their car going fucking rich cunt no I only go once a year. There's other people I know.

Michael Yeo and his family go weekly. Are you trying to deflect it to Michael Yeo now? No, no, no. I know a lot of people. A lot of people I know in LA, they buy the year ticket and they take their kids twice a month. They're going all the fucking time. I say to Hank, I go, no, no, no. You go once a year, mate.

We fucking do it right. I've only been twice, so it's like once every 10 years for me. As a kid, I think it's good. I remember that leading up to my birthday every year and just be like, oh, and then you would get there and it would feel fresh and new. I think it was, I don't know. It feels good that way. I'm looking forward to my son becoming 15 or something and then going there with his

friends and then just be like, what the fuck? He has to queue up for the first time? Oh, yeah. Yeah. He's definitely been spoiled. He's going to go, what the fuck? He has to queue up for the first time? Oh, yeah. He's definitely been spoiled. He's going to go, what the fuck? 40 minutes. What the fuck? Three hours to get on a car?

We drove here. So, Jim, that was one of the things you just said. The thing about Disney World that separates it from other theme parks is just how well everything, even down to the lines and everything. The lines are immersive. But the trash cans, like this is one of the things we looked up, the trash cans and the trash removal systems.

Here's a question. How many, I don't know if this is right, because I got this from the internet as well, but how many steps away I had for me? Between the cans. Let me see if you know this, Jim. How many steps, each trash can is a certain amount of steps away

always at Disney World. I'll say 200 meters. Okay's like 200 600 feet yeah so how far is yeah no they're about every 30 feet um and the reason is walt said that that was the amount of time it took somebody to eat a hot dog and then would need to throw the paper away wow not. Not for me. Jim eats them every five feet. I'd be holding it for 20 feet like an idiot. Every 30 feet, there's a trash can. Or at 30 steps. That's what they say, yeah. And they are.

I mean, if you go there, there's trash cans everywhere. But yeah, apparently Walt's whole system of measurement was based on hot dogs. But yeah, and the other thing is in the magic kingdom in florida a lot of the trash cans uh are are bottomless where there's pneumatic tubes that'll suck the trash out of them and the rest of them they all have sensors in them so they're never they're never overflowing you know when they fill to a certain point the nearest custodian is paged over to them and actually the type of trash can that they have there which you now see in every fast food restaurant where it's a you know push and you

push in and drop your trash that was designed for the disney parks because walt didn't want people to see trash prior to that trash cans were always open at the top and so you know it was you know he wanted to devise something where the trash would be, you know, have its privacy. So some are bottomless and the other ones have a vacuum system, basically. That sucks. The bottomless ones have the vacuum system. The other ones, a guy will come over, open it and take them. So you could get rid of a pesky child in there.

Yeah, that's right. That's super late term abortion. Super late term. the child's full um and uh this this thing there i was reading about people spreading ashes at theme parks they allow that or is that no they do not but i i know somebody who uh his grandmother is is there you know they they let her out a lot of people like to do it at the haunted mansion which is a bad idea because they vacuum that up you know every day so that means you know grandma gets you know put in a dust buster but yeah but she gets one more ride back that's right but i've heard of people you know that they put it in a sandwich bag and you know

they shake it out you know into the water there or whatever and your relative's there forever. I made out with a stranger when I was 15 on the Haunted Mansion ride. I made out with a lot of strangers when I was 15. I was such a lip slut. Yeah, fucking Kelly was up for it when she was 15. I just made out with people. Wait, on the Haunted Mansion?

Yeah. We were getting off of Space Mountain, I think, and there was a guy standing there holding a sign that said free Free Hugs. You sure he wasn't that hologram that sits next to you? No, I met him outside of Space Mountain. He was holding a sign that said, Free Hugs. And so our groups of friends kind of got together

and were hanging out together for the rest of the day. And then we went to the Haunted Mansion ride. You're kidding. The guy was standing at the front with free hugs. I always thought that was like the joke about the people, the creepy guy in a tunnel holding a free hug. No, we were all high schoolers. He was with his group of friends thought that was like the joke about the people the creepy guy in a tunnel holding us we were all high schoolers like that he was with his group of friends because it was like a choir competition that we were down there for free hugs and you went up and got a free

hug uh yeah and how did that work he was cute it just it it works if you're cute yeah can't be ugly with a sign am i too old to do that yeah i think you might be too old especially at a theme park i'm too married um the uh do you know the dapper dans are jim dapper dans no yeah are they like like barbershop quartet yeah yeah how'd you know that that if you didn't just sounds like a fucking barbershop did they fight alf they only fight gremlins yeah they're the disney uh barbershop quartet they're at all the magic kingdom style parks around the world including disneyland and actually in 1974 uh that there was a musician strike in hollywood and the dapper dans were briefly the tonight show band for johnny carson they replaced uh because they couldn't have any instruments so they sang the better yeah so i always whenever like both places are hot as fuck right california like los angeles anaheim

and atlanta hot as fuck all i watch like, and here comes the fucking toy soldiers from toys, and they're painted green, and they've got these fucking rubbery outfits, and their feet are connected, and they're wobbling down the street going boom, boom, boom, boom, boom with the drum and all that stuff. And every time I see a fucking Pluto or a Mickey Mouse or something like that, I'm always like, ah, fuck. Imagine what the inside of that suit smells like well i tell you what the first time i ever went the first time i ever went i i went with um i

went with my son the measle outbreak and the place was really quiet and they were just standing around i know they're not meant to talk to you whatever but woody came up and took a photo woody from toy story came up and took a photo with me and my son actually walked up to us and i was like ah thanks for the photo woody and then i just hear this mumble from inside the home love the new special he broke protocol for a second i was like oh thanks mate and then he just i said so how's it working i told to have a chat with him and then you just shook his head like, that's the sentence you get? Shout out to that guy. And then this is a thing from Epcot, this rain.

It doesn't, so it can't rain off of that? It's Spaceship Earth, which is the big ball that's there. They created a series of gutters throughout it so that the water doesn't, if you're standing under it, you, the water doesn't, you know, just pour down on you. And it's kind of ingenious because it rains in Florida a whole lot and heavy, heavy rain. And if they didn't have that, it would be, you know, everybody that was under it would get soaked and it's so big, you know, that it would be, you know, so yeah, there's a,

and the water actually goes right out to the lake. So, you know, it's all, you know, Speaking of the monorail crashing, any other disasters of note? Oh yeah. Good, good, good. What do you got for me? Well, one of the ones that we had talked about was Pirates of the Caribbean, which actually there's a story that there's a ghost there in, in California and his name is George.

And he's a guy that was working there before. And this part is true. He was working there, you know, on the crew and he died during the, you know, during some kind of mishap creating that attraction. And so if they don't say good morning to him every morning, which apparently every morning over the PA, somebody says, good morning, George, because if they don't, apparently the ride breaks down several times throughout the day. But there's been, there's been a lot of, you know, really, I mean, anytime you have a place that big with so many people, there's been some real tragic moments, you know, a cleat from the, that was holding one of the

ships in place, pop loose and, you know, kill the guy, you know, a cleat from the, that was holding one of the ships in place, pop loose and, you know, kill the guy, you know, while he was standing there with his family, there was a cast member that was crushed in what is now the carousel of progress in Florida because she tried to walk between the walls. I mean, I'm always a big one because my dad did this to me because us Nugent men are assholes. I do the one with my son.

We go, I don't want to go on this ride. I go, they fixed it. The kid died last week. There wouldn't be two kids dying in two weeks. Now. Probably is the safest time right after somebody died. Yeah. As you're saying this there's something

i remember reading do they actually if somebody dies on a like a car in a ride they take that car out of service no no they like sprite sure they clean up the blood um but you know and they close i mean you know in california a big thunder mountain there was a accident where somebody was decapitated where he you know his restraint was kind of loose and he stood up and hit as they went under one of the tunnels and they i don't know i mean but they closed it for you know the rest of the day and you know they sequester everybody that was on it and you know get a grief counselor in there and uh but they do open there used to be a rumor that no one ever died on Disney property, which is just isn't.

It's certainly not true today if it ever was, because, you know, with all those hotels. Try telling that to fucking George. Yeah, that's right. I once was on Tatsu on Six Flags, and that's the one where they sort of, you're like Superman. You're laying underneath the track and you're straight. And someone ran onto the track area.

It goes quite low, like a little kid ran on or or something like that and so they just shut the ride down and i was dangling for it was probably 10 minutes but it felt like half an hour yeah that'd be awful and my blood was and i was just and i'm i don't like the heights you know i'm just like looking out of the road oh god if someone just presses a button unlock and we all plus those rides are uncomfortable a lot of those ones that strap you in but you're like i'm only gonna be in this a minute and a half so i can deal with it you know but if you're stuck in it yeah yeah i chat to the person next to me fun ride i got a great tip for you if you're ever on a roller coaster and there's an open seat near you and there's a photo where they take your ride photo just look at that seat and you know just look panicked and scared or look up as if somebody

had just flew out of that seat is it true that uh splash mountain which i love splash mountain i love log rides they're my favorite right um that for a while there they had to take away the camera because there was too much flashing yeah there was yeah yes there they well they haven't taken away the camera the camera's still there they stopped it for a while and they put it back on they know there were a lot of women that yeah they would there was a website for a long time called flash mountain it might still be up but uh but there were a lot of people that yeah they'd uh they'd pull the shirt pull the shirt up all right um let them out here's here's a part of the that, yeah, they'd pull the shirt up. Pull the shirt up. All right. Let them out.

Here's a part of the show called Dinner Party Facts where we ask our expert to give us a fact that's obscure, interesting, audience-inclusive, impressive. You gave us a bunch. I don't mind going through all of them because, you know, we could. So, yeah, let's do the first one. The first one, yeah. In 1983, there was a woman named Vera Waldron was staying at a motel across from Disneyland. She saw a man with a rifle walk past her motel room. So she called down to the manager

and they called the police. The police got there. This guy was up on the roof with a rifle. He shot 13 shots at disneyland he didn't hit anybody didn't do any major damage uh and they were able to take him out um but yeah it was uh there was a sniper at disneyland it's a it's a story that didn't get a lot of news at the time but you know certainly if it happened you know today it would how do you not hit anybody at a place that's as packed as Disney? It was Lee Harvey Oswald the rabbit.

Lee Harvey Oswald the rabbit. But thankfully, this woman, Vera Waldron, you know, cheers to her because she's the reason that that didn't go any worse. Vera. Vera is such a World War II name. Yeah. Isn't that Pink Floyd song too from Vera? What else do you got?

I like that one. The movie The Rescuers, someone on the animation team had snuck in two frames that they'd cut out of a magazine, two images of a topless woman in the background of that film. And it stayed in the print of the film until the film went on vhs when it was released on vhs somebody slow-moed it and disney had to recall all of the tapes uh but there was a topless woman from some men's magazine don't we get to see uh don't we

get to see jessica rabbit snatch when she comes out of the car i mean you don't anymore you just made me spit on my computer that's it though yeah when she when she flies out of the car when they put the dip on the ground the uh the yeah you see it i'm supposed to you can see it just for this one frame it's like yeah it's like the britney spears paparazzi i i ain't found out about it in my 30s but yeah yeah i did yeah yeah wait so i've always i heard something like that but i thought that was a myth that so that there was actually they've put in the frame so they never find out who did that who put that in no because i mean it and when you watch it it's it's a very old it it may have only been in the print that they used to master that vhs tape um but yeah if you watch it

it it clearly just based on her hairstyle and the way the way everything looks it clearly was from the 70s when the film was being released yeah yeah from her yeah yeah did the the uh the drapes mate the you know it was just the top it was Rabbit. I like these last two, too. I think these are good, too. The Nixon one. Oh, you can go ahead. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so Nixon, when he gave his famous I am not a crook speech,

he actually gave that at the Contemporary Hotel in Florida. Nixon just happened to be nearby, and he had a big in with the Disney company. He had been very good friends with Walt. He was the president as well. Yes. Yes. He could get to the front of the line wherever he wanted.

He had some connections. He knew some people. I'll tell you a crazy story. Walt once kidnapped Richard Nixon when they were cutting the ribbon for the monorail. Richard Nixon was the vice president of the United States. He was there to cut the ribbon. And then Secret Service was there with him on the platform. Walt showed him inside.

He's like, this is how it's operated. And they're chatting. And Secret Service is standing by to keep people from coming on the monorail. Then Walt says to Richard Nixon, do you want to go for a ride? And Nixon says, sure. So Walt closes the door and they take off and secret service is left on the platform screaming going you know where does this thing get off what you know what's the other end of this monorail so for you know for a brief

moment in time walt had kidnapped the vice president of the united states and that brings us to our next one richard nixon's first hand job it was on the people mover they got around um all right one more let's see the last ones i think oh the beatles yeah the beatles um the beatles broke up officially the paperwork that that you know disbanded them legally was signed by john lennon at the polynesian hotel and uh this goes back to what we were talking about with the monorail. He was so sad after doing it that he said to his son, Julian, let's go up and ride on the monorail and let's, you know, we'll ride up in the front. There was a driver of one of the monorails that had been letting them, you know, ride every time in the front. And I think his name was Herb. And

so they went upstairs and he said, you know, it was like, is Herb working today? And they said, yeah, just wait. And he waited on the platform. And then, you know, John Lennon got in there and took a ride in the front of the monorail to cheer himself up. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Only Herb would do it?

I think anybody would. The rest of them was like, I like the Beatles, but rules are rules. I heard you're breaking up. Yeah. I'll let you on, John, but rules are rules. I heard you're breaking up. Yeah, I'll let you on, John, but not the kid. I think he liked Herb. I'm not a softy like Herb. Okay, I think we could talk all day about this. Obviously, there's so many things.

But maybe we'll have you back on another time to talk about that. I'd love to. But Guy Hutchinson, the podcast is called drunk on disney please check that out as a very fun podcast and uh and his book bippity boozity book i keep saying his book and you have book at the end so the book a cocktail guide with disney themed drinks and toast and sesame place the official book look for it on Amazon or Walmart. Just before you go, what is your favorite Disney ride and what is your favorite Disney movie? I love the Carousel of Progress,

but I'd say my favorite ride is probably Pirates of the Caribbean and Disney movie. I love the Herbie the Love Bug movies, so probably the first Love Bug. But if we had to go with an animated. Lindsay Lohan, Michael Keaton. Yeah, that's all right, too. Yeah, that one's fun. But if we had to go with an animated... Lindsay Lohan, Michael Keaton. Yeah, that's all right, too. Yeah, that one's fun.

But if we had to go with an animated one, I love Alice in Wonderland. I just watched that last weekend. I like Parents of the Caribbean, too. I think that would be... I remember being, as a kid... My favorite ride, Indiana Jones. That one's great.

That's a fucking great ride. For a modern ride. And then in Disney World, it's fucking dinosaurs. It's the same ride. It's the same ride, yeah. No, they just redressed it just dinosaur world like fuck that put indiana jones give me the music i didn't do when i moved

out here i went to disneyland i went did the indiana jones one that one's great when you go across that bridge it's really cool and then it breaks down all the time but that's because they don't say this guy died on they don't say hello to him in the morning that's right but uh that but for the old school ones the pirates went because i remember the guy's leg that's dangling it had hair i remember even as a kid just that attention to detail my hair and i was like i knew he wasn't real but it's like yeah i took my son on pirates of caribbean when he was two yeah that guy terrified him yeah it's uh none of the rides would be good i once i once when h was very young, he just reached the height.

We got to the front of the line for Space Mountain. And then I was like, all right, let's go, Space Mountain. And then this week, we hadn't gone to private thing. We'd queued up for an hour. You know what I mean? Yeah. So we'd queued up and he's very little. That's a scary one.

And he's like this. And then you get to the, no, no. Like that, right? Like that. And I was like, get in the fucking seat. And I strapped him in. Because I was just one of those dad moments where you're like, you'll be fine. You're the buddy.

Be tough. Come on. Yeah. Terrifying. Yeah, it was scary. When I was a kid, I would run out of the line of Space Mountain and then my mom would do it and I'd meet her at the end. Like I'd stand with whoever else I was with, my aunt or something.

All right. So Drunk on Disney is a podcast. Guy Hutchinson, thanks for being here again, Jim. Any parting? Oh, I'll come again next week. Oh, that's good. Have you ever had a party, ladies and gentlemen, and you're standing around and someone's,
