    Join the lads as they discuss: BBQ in gas stations, hungover grading sessions, and accidentally stalking Walt Disney’s old houses. Jess makes a noble Mario Kart sacrifice at a brewery where a live jazz band plays the soundtrack in real-time.

    They also pay tribute to Brian Wilson, break down Disney films badly and dive into early Walt Disney history—including a visit to the legendary Laugh-O-Gram Studio and Walt’s last Kansas City home. Plus: Mr. Beast rents Disneyland, the truth about Katzenberg and The Lion King, and so much more.

    From baby river ducks to self-driving taxis and forgotten E.T. subplots, this episode takes more twists than the Nile.

    Join the lads as they dive into:

    • Ancestry.com rabbit holes (spoiler: everyone was a farmer)
    • Tiki Room bathrooms
    • Groucho Marx’s swingin' grave neighbor
    • The lost subplot where E.T. tries to date Elliot’s mom (no, really)
    • Disney break room mis-haps
    • A Disney movie ending that no social worker signed off on
    • Philosophical musings on the Cars universe

    And so much more

    This episode, the lads tackle: College finals, Three theme parks in one month, the painful realization that Knott’s Berry Farm might actually be Earth’s closest point to the sun, and much more.

    Along the way:

    • Universal Fan Fest may have out-Disneyed Disney.
    • The Macarena beats out John Williams for the first time ever.
    • Meeting C-3PO in person absolutely undoes years of childhood trauma. Almost.

    It’s Heat Islands, Hill Valleys. and existential chaos — just another Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride of an episode.
