Episode 31 - The Episode That Never Ends

[TinkerbellT421]

My guess? They didn't want to have to pay a Cast Member to change the thing once a year.

To help enhance the imagery, here's a pic of the bike itself:

True story @ the not having to pay a cm once a year!!

Hey, hey!!! Another shout out (2 podcasts in a row!!)...I guess I had better watch my responses...don't want "strike 3" like DarthMacho!! ...and a shout out to our "local" band 'LIVE'!! Thanks, Ian!!

I work with Chad Taylor's step-father...Very cool to talk with him about how the boys are doing and what's next on their agenda...They are currently working on revamping an old warehouse into offices and a sound studio for recording area talent. Giving back to the community where they were raised.

Now, I STILL need to finish this episode...about 30 minutes to go....

Favorite ride music.....That's a tough one....The whole soundtrack to the Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, Soarin', Rock 'N Rollercoaster...Individual songs from CoP ("There's A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow"), Journey Into Imagination With Figment ("I-ma-gin-a-tion")...All these bring instant smiles to my face.

Finally finished listening to the podcast...

Wow guys, and gals.....Getting a little obsessed with the Handwich, are we?

It should be relatively easy to create a handwich that doesn't leak....They do have bread bowls for soups, should be easy enough to put this same idea to work for the handwich cone....

And...haven't you all heard of wraps????? Sure, they use tortillas for those, but same basic idea...

Yes, I would buy a handwich at a Disney Park...or anywhere else, for that matter. Love Ian's Buffalo Chicken Handwich idea...DW would take the Corned Beef Reuben...

Keep up the fun!!! Thanks for the laughs!!

...and...we're out!

[TinkerbellT421]

YAY!!! I GOT A SHOUT OUT!!!!

You guys are the best I have been having to listen to it in pieces because I have been listening at work so this morning I was like okay I am finally finishing listening! And I just heard a shout out to little ol' me Love you guys!!!

[Septbride2002]

I get one more mention and then I'm out I will be honored to be banned from podcast with Darth!

Ian - You HAVE to watch SyFy's BSG! We started watching it thinking we wouldn't like it -5 seasons finished in under 30 days - we would watch 3 to 4 episodes a night because you just HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!! It is all sorts of awesome!

FAVORITE RIDE MUSIC:
I have to say Star Tours. Grew up watching the movies and the music is such a big part of the films that to ride a ride and hear that music really makes you feel like you are in the center of the movie.

Great Podcast! Laughed out loud at the potty humor in the beginning.

When I heard what the “Best of” topic was going to be my quick response was Horizons and then Soarin. Not only New Horizons which is great but I loved the complete soundtrack for the attraction it was so rich and deep from start to finish it felt epic to me. I believe the Soarin soundtrack is the best they have come up with since the original music created for the various attractions at EPCOT Center.

Not Disney related but podcast related since BSG got so much air time…30± years ago as a young teen my parents let me name the new family dog, I chose Adama.

Hey that’s a sweet ride Ian I bet your daughter is the envy of the neighborhood, once you let her have a turn of course.

[TinkerbellT421]

Gary mentioned restaurants that don't open on Mondays! It's so true!!! They are mostly Italian restaurants out here that don't open on Mondays, DBF gets so mad when he is craving something and then he says "You dang Italians never work on Monday's, what's up with that?" Me being Italian I laugh and say we are usually hung over from eating so much food on Sunday family dinners that we cannot even think about food the following day!

Ian, we love the Boardwalk too! It's such a hidden gem I think because there is so much to do there at night. DBF and I have been picked a couple times for the shows that go on. DBF is usually always picked, he has that face I guess where the actor's look at him and always say "YOU!" haha that and I always volunteer him, he hates that lol.

When you guys first mentioned the Handwich I thought OMG a breakfast Handwich sounds delicious right now, then you guys even thought about it at the end. First of all, anything with bacon and cheese is a okay in my book! I have a picture on Facebook that shows a store sign over an isle that says "Isle 8, Beer, Bacon & Cheese" and then the caption says, don't ask me what is in the other Isle's I never noticed! haha. Imagine you guys owning one of those carts? Offer every type of Handwich you can think of and then offer John's Cherry Churro's for desert! mmmmmmmm yummy! I think my favorite handwich would be for breakfast and would be, egg, cheddar cheese and that fake dunkin donut's type sausage it's so oily and gross but oh so yummy!!

When you guys were talking about all the possibilities all I could think of was Forrest Gump and Bubba saying "Shrimp Gumbo, Shrimp this, shrimp that" Mel, you were so funny with the Seinfeld references, everyday DBF and I can think of atleast one Seinfeld episode to compare to the day and what has been said or happened! lol

My Bracket was shot after the first round I threw mine out after the second day, I have been in last place since I started haha!! DBF (aka DIsneyCrackHead, don't ask, he's an odd one).....He somehow managed to sneek up there. If only he would post here on the boards more often That should be part of the deal, he can only win if he promises to post more, he is hysterical with comebacks, you guys would have fun with him.

[TinkerbellT421]

I forgot to post this, at first I was thinking my favorite ride music would be Pirates, but then I remembered this was my first trip getting to ride Splash Mountain and I enjoyed the ride music there! It was very upbeat and something about it made get in a super mood! And then it was stuck in my head for the rest of the day!! lol

So, my favorite ride music is Splash Mountain

[Jim&AngieMarriner]

For my favorite ride music I wish i could think of something off the wall and be a Hipster like I am sure John will. However I am going to go old school and say Peter Pans Flight. "You can Fly" always make me happy and since its in there I have to go with it.

[diz_girl]

I'm really torn about this. While I do love 'Yo Ho' from POTC and 'Imagination' from JIYI, I'm going to choose something not already mentioned, but another Sherman Brothers Classic. Drum roll, please. The best/favorite ride music for me is 'The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room.' I mean, it's got Thurl Ravenscroft, what else do you need? The Tiki Room was the first attraction my youngest DS was ever on and when my eldest DS saw it for the first time in November, he said "Mommy, this is the best show EVER!"

[Quadstriker]

A handwich has potential for this reason:

There desperately needs to be a cart breakfast option open the minute the park opens to the public. On our last trip, we didn't eat breakfast before heading to the park, and due to not eating, my energy was way down and I didn't feel well. I needed to eat something! There is NOTHING open for food right when MK opens. After circumnavigating the park, we found out that at least I could get a dole whip (ah dole whip, is there anything you can't do?). A breakfast handwich cart would be a bazillion dollar maker.

I'll go with a sleeper selection for best of ride music since all the obvious ones have been said. How about the music while on California Screamin? There's something about that music on a roller coaster that just makes you wanna go "Woooooooooo!" This selection has the added bonus of another opportunity to point out how O'Brien has never heard the music while on the California Screamin roller coaster, for you see, Gary O'Brien has never been to the California parks! Bwahahahaa!

Here's a picture of Johnny Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet hanging out with the Mad Hatter.

Okay, this is just classic. Not only does Gary catch it from his ICOT family, but his REAL family gives him heck as well. Love it!

But actually Jeff, this is an excellent selection for attraction music. I love, love California Screamin' and can listen to that track and know exactly where it is on the ride. I love the climbing music and then how it picks up at the drop. In fact, I love the whole DCA soundtrack. Great music from Soarin' (of course), The Bakery Theme, Seasons of the Vine, etc.

Great pic of you guys with your hats. Still so embarrassed I didn't know.

I'm going to size down the pic to fit the forums.

[dpamac]

I hate all of you.

[dpamac]

The Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet short is on YouTube, by the way. Very easy to find. I swear you guys will all do a face palm when you realize that you're familiar with them.

I knew exactly what you guys were talking about, I was obsessed with that cartoon when I was a kid lol

Yeah, it's from Make Mine Music. I actually have never seen that film, so I was right ... I don't know it.

[lettripp]

Currently blushing from the shout out. Love you guys and love listening to these. Thanks again for another entertaining podcast! You all sound like you're having so much fun all the time!

I think that was Carol who was right about the pronunciation - Let Tripp :-) Tripp is my maiden name... Not a reference to long car rides to WDW, but points for creativity! Also completely loving the reference to our BSG quotes from the last podcast thread! Ian you HAVE to watch BSG. It is ADDICTING and AMAZING. I was resistant at first, but then we too watched 3-4 episodes a day until we finished the series. Also, they Cylon's don't look like toasters!



My favorite ride music is on Splash Mountain. The second the banjo twang starts after the first little splash, you know you're in The World and nothing else matters. It is so ridiculously immersive in that moment - hence being my fav!



Can't wait for the next episode

[HighSpeedLowDrag]

I eat handwiches all the time, especially bacon, egg, and cheese. Only they are called kolaches in Texas and rather than being in a cone it is more like everything is baked in a sandwich roll/bun. But same idea; one- handed mess free meal. Sometimes they are more like a hotdog cooked in a bun, or they can be stuffed with really anything from Philly Cheesesteak to chicken enchilada. Maybe it is more like a hotpocket than the coldcut ice cream cone y'all are describing. But it certainly isn't nasty like a hotpocket.

[Quadstriker]

The podcast reminded of a funny moment on our trip early this month when Starryice woke up sounding like she had a frog in her throat. Really low and gravelly sounding voice. So of course, I asked her if she would do me a small favor and say a line for me.

"It's not a board room fellas."

She obliged and I laughed for a good 30 seconds.

The unfunny part: She got sick for like 2 weeks. Then I got sick for like 10 days. But at the onset "It's not a board room fellas" brought laughter to all... err... me.

You shoulda been there. The appearance of the utterer added to the humor.
