Speaker 1: How does this rank to like being on Brooklyn nine
Speaker 1: nine and stuff like that, Like how being on this
Speaker 1: podcast has to be? Like, you know, I'm a culmination.
Speaker 4: I would feel like it is this.
Speaker 3: I mean, I much prefer because I get to be
Speaker 3: at home, which I love. I get to just have
Speaker 3: my little coffee and I'm just like sitting in my
Speaker 3: home office. Yeah, so comfortable.
Speaker 1: So many guitars, very many guitars. Yeah zoom, and we
Speaker 1: were like.
Speaker 3: Whoa, I know, I'll play all those for you at
Speaker 3: some point during the podcast. Now you know, full disclosure,
Speaker 3: This is really my husband, Matt Gory, friend of the show.
Speaker 1: He's been on a couple of times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is his office, and so yeah, every
Speaker 3: once in a while I kind of sneak in and
Speaker 3: do a quick podcast and then leave no trace head out.
Speaker 3: But no, I won't be touching the guitars.
Speaker 1: Right. It's like a parasite situation where he doesn't even
Speaker 1: know you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he has no I love you. He doesn't know
Speaker 3: we're married. He didn't know we have a child together. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's a very complex operation that I'm running here, like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's.
Speaker 1: Reallyres by you. Absolutely, yeah, amazing. Well, we can't we
Speaker 1: can't wait to get to know you a little bit better.
Speaker 2: I mean we've obviously know each other so well.
Speaker 1: You old Earwolf holiday party, Miles, and you have mutual friends,
Speaker 1: You have got mutees, great mutual basically family. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think that's all we really need, right, Like, those
Speaker 3: are the sorts of deep relationships we all want in
Speaker 3: our lives.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, friends of friends. And I think I made a
Speaker 1: holiday party almost positive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I'm glad I made an impression.
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. All right, we're going to get to know
Speaker 1: you a little bit better. First, a few of the
Speaker 1: things we're talking about, we're talking about Moms for Liberty
Speaker 1: are back at it again. Baby, we're just talking about them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so they they are trying to get librarians arrested in Florida,
Speaker 1: of course, So we're gonna talk about that in conjunction
Speaker 1: with Mike Johnson's porno app. I don't think it's officially
Speaker 1: his porno app. Yes, I'm guessing the Yeah, he endorses it.
Speaker 1: I don't know if the endorsement is official yet, if
Speaker 1: he's like appearing in ads. But this is, of course
Speaker 1: the new Speaker of the House who is in a
Speaker 1: bond with his seventeen year old son monitoring one another's
Speaker 1: jack off activity. Jacking off activity, no other way to
Speaker 1: really describe how much each other's are jacking off. And
Speaker 1: so we're going to talk about that because that's the
Speaker 1: other way that the right is intervening and showing off
Speaker 1: their moral authority. We'll talk about Disney because you are,
Speaker 1: of course, Amanda, a Disney expert, and we're going to
Speaker 1: talk about people shitting at Disneyland. We are, of course
Speaker 1: people shitting experts, so of course, perfect perfect marriage of
Speaker 1: our two areas of expertise, all of that plenty more.
Speaker 1: But first, Amanda, we do like to ask our guests,
Speaker 1: what is something from your search history?
Speaker 3: Oh god, okay, So the one thing that really did
Speaker 3: pop up yesterday when I looked was is it okay
Speaker 3: for my two year old to want to stay home
Speaker 3: all the time?
Speaker 1: Right? Oh? Like a homebody two year old?
Speaker 3: Yeah, because we're currently like putting her into school and
Speaker 3: she freaking hates it, and so I just like, it's
Speaker 3: just so crazy because when I google something like that,
Speaker 3: it's not like I think there's going to be an answer, right,
Speaker 3: I really, you know what I'm looking for, and this
Speaker 3: is so sad. I'm looking for like a message board
Speaker 3: where I can just connect to someone in a similar
Speaker 3: situation and then I just like quickly scan it and
Speaker 3: then I close the tab and move on with my life.
Speaker 1: Right yeah, yeah, it's that sad of like, no, that's
Speaker 1: not all bad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I should be just like texting a friend.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, that I mean, but I guess it's sometimes
Speaker 2: our like, our questions are so specific to experience. Sometimes
Speaker 2: we don't have somebody who's been through that exact thing,
Speaker 2: so I can see what's.
Speaker 1: Cleaner to crowdsource friends, Miles, You don't a friend is
Speaker 1: gonna want stuff from you, but this is crowdsource can
Speaker 1: see you cast a wide net, see other people's experience,
Speaker 1: and then you can just discard them.
Speaker 3: And then you guys don't always get back to me
Speaker 3: right away. So that's like, for this specific one, I
Speaker 3: don't really want to text you.
Speaker 1: I don't interact with people unless it's on my podcast.
Speaker 2: That's yeah, you have to come here with a microphone
Speaker 2: in front of you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't spoken to my wife in seven years.
Speaker 1: What I say, it's got to be on Mike. This
Speaker 1: is content, babe, This is content, babe. The I have
Speaker 1: a five year old I was fighting this exact battle
Speaker 1: this very morning, was trying to get him to go
Speaker 1: to school, and he unbuckled himself as the car started moving,
Speaker 1: or tried to climb into the front seat and be
Speaker 1: like I'm not going. I'm not not, Like I don't
Speaker 1: think you under stand I'm not. Wow.
Speaker 2: Wait, Like it's like like Trump on January sixth, like
Speaker 2: trying to turn the suburban around.
Speaker 1: He's like, you get back, stay back there, sir. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're doing. It's very transitory though. Wow. We were over
Speaker 1: it within five minutes.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's good.
Speaker 3: See my girl, she's new to this whole thing, so
Speaker 3: she's got endurance.
Speaker 1: Like I was.
Speaker 3: They have a little gate on the side of the school,
Speaker 3: and for like twenty minutes, I was like peeking through
Speaker 3: the gate, yeah, and like yeah, she's still going yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, fuck you yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. You know, she's got a really dirty mouth.
Speaker 1: Don't touch me, you fucking asshole. You're like Oh my god,
Speaker 1: you learn that.
Speaker 4: I'm like, sorry, honey, I gotta go do a podcast.
Speaker 1: Sorry, very important. You know what, you can totally just
Speaker 1: end this right now and go and go hang out
Speaker 1: with your daughter if you want. This is, by no
Speaker 1: means the best thing to be doing.
Speaker 3: No, this is if I get a phone call from
Speaker 3: from the center, I'll have to take it. But otherwise,
Speaker 3: you guys, I got my priorities stroke.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, what is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 3: Okay, well, I'm gonna do a Disney theme to go
Speaker 3: along with the podcast that I'm promoting, because yeah, this
Speaker 3: has just been on my mind because I recently went
Speaker 3: to Disney too, and I'm probably gonna get some crap
Speaker 3: for this.
Speaker 4: But I think something that's overrated.
Speaker 3: Is a doll whip. Overrated, overrated.
Speaker 4: You guys know what a dol whip is?
Speaker 1: Oh, I do I go to? I know what part
Speaker 1: of the park to go to get my doll whip.
Speaker 1: You know, it's also vegan, so you know that that
Speaker 1: shout out to the people who can also enjoy that treat.
Speaker 1: I know. I know that little bit of information too.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, like I'm not anti vegan, so don't take
Speaker 3: it vegan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, why do we get to that part?
Speaker 3: What it's gonna seem that I'm anti vegan because the
Speaker 3: thing I think is underrated is a corn dogs corn dog.
Speaker 1: So let's go corn dog, Let's go cornduck.
Speaker 3: But I just I don't know. I just feel like
Speaker 3: the dolip is the one treat that I everyone's like,
Speaker 3: you have to eat this when you go to Disneyland,
Speaker 3: and for anyone who doesn't know, it's like a pineapple
Speaker 3: soft serve. And then if you get the float, it's
Speaker 3: like dull pineapple juice right on top of the I
Speaker 3: don't know, it's like it's just maybe like a little
Speaker 3: bit like too much pineapple and there's not like a
Speaker 3: lot of complexity of flavor.
Speaker 2: No, I know what you mean. It's like very pleasant,
Speaker 2: and I think you know what it was. It was
Speaker 2: probably because you had to go to like near the
Speaker 2: Tiki room to get that shit that people are like, you.
Speaker 1: Can only get eat in this part of the park.
Speaker 2: And that's why for me, my favorite weird Disneyland food
Speaker 2: is a clamchowder and a bread bowl.
Speaker 3: Oh hell yeah, I'm with you. I'm all about the
Speaker 3: New Orleans Square foods. Even the the mint julap is
Speaker 3: really good in the beignets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm such a one track. I only eat when
Speaker 2: I go to Disneyland. I always eat churros and sour
Speaker 2: dough or bread bowl clam chowder. And I feel like
Speaker 2: I actually need to try other things because I only
Speaker 2: eat those two things.
Speaker 1: It's really weird.
Speaker 4: I mean that sounds like a delicious Disney stack.
Speaker 1: But I would.
Speaker 3: I would. I don't know if you like get into
Speaker 3: hot dogs or what your feelings are surroundings, if you're curious,
Speaker 3: if your dog curious, I would definitely say next time,
Speaker 3: just treat yourself to the twelve dollars corn dog.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's so wait? Why is that corn dog? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is it enormous? Is it the size of like a
Speaker 1: turkey leg?
Speaker 4: It's about the size.
Speaker 3: Of your your microphone Jack. Okay, Actually, you could just
Speaker 3: kind of imagine that that as a corn dog, and
Speaker 3: it would be like, that's why, that's what it would
Speaker 3: look like.
Speaker 1: It sounds like it would be obscene. It sounds like
Speaker 1: my eyes would be watering as I tried to take
Speaker 1: the first back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys do all I want? I the popsicle
Speaker 3: stick just.
Speaker 1: Down the gullett eating a fish.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, but it's it's just okay, And the twelve
Speaker 3: dollars will also get you if you want to be
Speaker 3: healthy a little mandarin on the side.
Speaker 1: Oh really, I'm serious. What you did?
Speaker 3: You have a bag of chips or like the healthy
Speaker 3: option is like you get a little Oh.
Speaker 1: I thought you meant like a mandarin sauce. I was like, damn,
Speaker 1: this is like some Gormand ship that I didn't know,
Speaker 1: just like a mandarin orange? Did you get at the
Speaker 1: grocery store? Okay, okay, yeah, to like help grease the skin,
Speaker 1: grease the walls, add to the viscosity as it's going.
Speaker 3: It just kind of sits on top in your stomach,
Speaker 3: so it's like the corn dog and then a few
Speaker 3: little mandarin slices just sort of sitting there.
Speaker 1: Now, did you o d on the the whip when
Speaker 1: you were working at Disney? Did you have too much here?
Speaker 4: It's possible.
Speaker 3: So I was a Disney princess, Yes, and that's what
Speaker 3: I did for like, you know, six or seven years.
Speaker 4: Started the job when I was seventeen.
Speaker 1: Wow, was that? Yeah? Disney like has let wax or
Speaker 1: laws and like NCAA back than the NBA.
Speaker 3: No, you can work.
Speaker 4: I mean you couldn't have a work permit, right.
Speaker 3: I think I got hired when I was sixteen, and
Speaker 3: then I started working when I was seventeen.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: But my one of my best friends, her sister worked
Speaker 3: in one of the cafeterias, scooping the fettuccini sauce onto
Speaker 3: the noodles, and so we would go in there and
Speaker 3: she'd hook us up just with a big to go
Speaker 3: container filled with just the chicken fettuccini sauce.
Speaker 1: O cool, just like like as if it's like a chowder.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: You don't like it, red Bull? Yeah yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say no to that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so that was kind of like that's where
Speaker 3: I'm coming from as far as my palate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, class Stone. Yeah, like Anthony Bourdaine of Disney, Princesses
Speaker 1: of Disney exactly got to get a bowl of Alfredo sauce.
Speaker 1: Are you eating that with a spoon bowl of Alfredo.
Speaker 3: Or just fingers?
Speaker 1: Fingers? Yeah? Okay, did you ever do that while you
Speaker 1: were in your Disney princess costume? But occasionally turns a
Speaker 1: warner and Cinderella's just eating chicken feta Jinie with her
Speaker 1: an look at me, that's amazing. Are you able to
Speaker 1: go back to Disney and just have it like enjoy yourself?
Speaker 1: Does having seen the other side of the curtain like
Speaker 1: change it for you? Do you like know cut throughs
Speaker 1: and short cuts? I think they're cloaquial referred to it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good question actually, and it's funny.
Speaker 3: We do explore it a little bit on the podcast
Speaker 3: which I host with Matt Gorley, my husband, who also
Speaker 3: worked at Disney for like ten years, although we never
Speaker 3: met there, we also both worked at Universal Studios, but
Speaker 3: we have we have different answers to that question. So
Speaker 3: like for me, I still love it, and I even
Speaker 3: when I worked there, like after work, I'd like go
Speaker 3: meet my friends and just like hang out. And for
Speaker 3: him it tarnished it a little bit more because he
Speaker 3: was more sensitive to kind of like the experience of
Speaker 3: working for this big corporation. Yeah, so I think everyone
Speaker 3: who works there has a different answer to that question.
Speaker 3: But I personally still like it, especially when you work
Speaker 3: there and you get to go just for like an
Speaker 3: hour or two at a time for free. That's the
Speaker 3: way to do it. It's when you've paid five billion
Speaker 3: dollars and you're there like from rope drop till the fireworks,
Speaker 3: that you lose your mind and you're like, I'm never coming.
Speaker 1: Back here, right, I'm going to get every cent out
Speaker 1: of these ticketscause my kids are unconscious at three different times. Right.
Speaker 1: Oh no.
Speaker 2: It's so funny when you see that, like where you
Speaker 2: see people pushing strollers around with just fucking passed out
Speaker 2: kids and you're like, oh my god, what's going on here?
Speaker 1: Like who is this for? It? This one? It's like,
Speaker 1: oh look, these tickets were yeah, five fifty apiecets.
Speaker 3: Oh, we're staying till it closes. And those are the
Speaker 3: lucky people. The ones who aren't lucky are the ones
Speaker 3: whose children will not fall asleep and they just are
Speaker 3: having meltdown right constantly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm about to do that the week of Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to total chaos because I know
Speaker 2: that is one of the crowded times for the park
Speaker 2: and I'm I don't know what's gonna happen. I might
Speaker 2: transcend into christ consciousness because because it's so horrifying, I
Speaker 2: don't know what else to do.
Speaker 1: Except just go to another place.
Speaker 3: Mentally, it could it could be tough, but I would
Speaker 3: say listen to the podcast. We have an episode on
Speaker 3: the Guest Experience where we talked to like a third
Speaker 3: party like non Disney affiliated guide who takes people on
Speaker 3: like tours through Disney but is like not officially affiliated,
Speaker 3: but they have.
Speaker 1: All the like hacks okay.
Speaker 4: How to make them get the most bang for your buck?
Speaker 1: Yeah okay.
Speaker 2: And there's other also places to defecate that are listed
Speaker 2: there that might not be on that.
Speaker 3: That's a crazy thing, like no bathrooms at Disney.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, fine, it's fine if you go peep anywhere.
Speaker 1: Now. I saw the material four year show and Matt
Speaker 1: it looked like like was inside a trash can at
Speaker 1: one point, like plant like moving playing a moving trash
Speaker 1: can or I don't know if he was just like
Speaker 1: picking up garbage for the like. And then you you are,
Speaker 1: of course a princess. Is there like a cast system
Speaker 1: behind the scenes where like are you treated as a
Speaker 1: star as the star that you would one day become.
Speaker 3: Yes, there is definitely a hierarchy backstage and you're gonna
Speaker 3: be shocked by this. But the trash can is above
Speaker 3: the princess.
Speaker 4: Wow, isn't that crazy?
Speaker 3: I'm not even kidding because Matt was a Union performer,
Speaker 3: so he wasn't inside that trash can.
Speaker 4: Oh I would love him. He was just like shuffling
Speaker 4: her off and down.
Speaker 3: He was like controlling it was called what was the
Speaker 3: trash can's name? Oh God, he's gonna kill me. No,
Speaker 3: I just kidding. It was this talking trash can that
Speaker 3: he basically controlled it from a little remote covertly. He
Speaker 3: was just like sitting on a bench looking like a
Speaker 3: park guess with a little microphone. So the trash can
Speaker 3: would like, oh his name was push, like come up
Speaker 3: to and be like, hey, tuts like that sure looks good,
Speaker 3: like yeah, you know, And and he was making probably
Speaker 3: like thirty dollars an hour, but me as as a princess,
Speaker 3: I think I was making like less than half of that.
Speaker 3: And this is of course, you know, back in the
Speaker 3: two thousands early two thousands, Yeah, because that was Union,
Speaker 3: and then it goes princesses, and then under that are
Speaker 3: the fuzzy characters. And we interviewed a good amount of
Speaker 3: the fuzzy characters for the podcast, and some of them
Speaker 3: had such damning stories that we had to disguise their
Speaker 3: voices and change their names, like like, no, I'm serious.
Speaker 3: People were scared.
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh no, yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I'm not even kidding. People were scared to talk
Speaker 3: to us because everyone was like, are you guys scared
Speaker 3: you're gonna get sued? And we're like, well, yes, but
Speaker 3: like we don't have any Yeah, I mean maybe I
Speaker 3: publicity and we're not just talking about Disney. We're talking
Speaker 3: about all theme parks, you know, but Disney, of course
Speaker 3: is the one everyone is sure interested in.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Is there anyone below the fuzzy characters that feels
Speaker 1: like the worst experience to be inside one of those
Speaker 1: during hot?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think as far as the characters go, and
Speaker 3: that's what the podcast focuses on, or their experiences the fuzzies.
Speaker 4: It's like that's a tough job.
Speaker 2: That is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard, and it's like it's a hot The
Speaker 3: guests are like jerks to.
Speaker 1: You, yeah, and.
Speaker 3: No you can't talk, and it's just I don't know,
Speaker 3: it's just tough. That's a physically really difficult job to
Speaker 3: do and and mentally. But I would say princessing is
Speaker 3: a little bit more of a mind game.
Speaker 1: Captain Jack Sparrow like one of the cool people to like. Well,
Speaker 1: I feel like anybody who plays Captain Jack Sparrow as
Speaker 1: a character at Disneyland probably like as a certain personality profile.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: They thought they thought they were a hot ship, but
Speaker 3: they would get hit on. They'd get phone numbers like
Speaker 3: nobody's business. But Matt also told me that a lot
Speaker 3: of women would just dump their phone numbers in his
Speaker 3: trash can, and I, oh my god, women really have
Speaker 3: low self esteem, Like, yes, you'll put your numbers straight
Speaker 3: into the trash.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm hooking up with a trash can, a literal
Speaker 2: trash can leader.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would fuck that trash Oh, I'm hot about
Speaker 1: that track. I spent five hundred dollars on this ticket.
Speaker 1: I'm not leaving until I fucked that trash can.
Speaker 4: It's funny, but I mean, I did marry a trash can.
Speaker 2: You did?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And ladies, I am very satisfied.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you that.
Speaker 1: The was trash can. You say, all right, let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break. We're gonna come back. We'll talk some
Speaker 1: news and we'll get back into some Disney stuff a
Speaker 1: little later, and we'll be right back and we're back.
Speaker 1: And as we discussed with Jared Holt aka Hulton Mania
Speaker 1: on our special Tuesday episode, you know, Moms for Liberty
Speaker 1: still out here. I guess we didn't get that get
Speaker 1: into Moms for Liberty that much. But the right wing
Speaker 1: movement in these United States is, uh is on the move.
Speaker 1: They're out here strategizing, and they are focusing on schools
Speaker 1: and libraries. And there's a new Florida law that took
Speaker 1: effect which essentially allows for the banning of any book
Speaker 1: that has quote sexual content from schools, and under these guidelines,
Speaker 1: that would include the works of Oh have you guys
Speaker 1: heard about this fucking pervert William Shakespeare smutted? Really? Yeah,
Speaker 1: smut spear is what we call him. But if your
Speaker 1: if your first question is has this led to right
Speaker 1: wingers literally trying to get librarians arrested? Yes, yes it has. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We've got some great police bodycam footage showing two members
Speaker 1: of Moms for Liberty complaining to the cops about a
Speaker 1: school librarian who was breaking the law by lending out
Speaker 1: a ya fantasy novel two teens.
Speaker 3: Jesus.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's and it was pretty salacious. Uh,
Speaker 2: you know it's all about this like teen who's dealing
Speaker 2: with fucking gargoyles.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, yeah, but gargoyles are little perverts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I get incredibly horn I get it,
Speaker 2: and like I think there's like a scene where there's
Speaker 2: making out and something that almost leads to sex. Not
Speaker 2: actually not them actually, but this that's the passage that
Speaker 2: is so object are so objectionable?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, a little dry humping or yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: That is what happened. And so they go into the
Speaker 1: police station with the book like drop it on in
Speaker 1: front of the presumably like homicide detective. Third degree felony.
Speaker 1: He's like, what third degree felony? Right there? The governor says,
Speaker 1: this is child pornography. It's a serious crime, just as
Speaker 1: serious as if I handed a playboy to her right now,
Speaker 1: right here in front of you. She is gesturing to
Speaker 1: like her four year old daughter, who's like here for
Speaker 1: this ship. Yeah as a drag. Yeah, just a fucking
Speaker 1: nightmare for everyone involved. But the book, yeah, it's it
Speaker 1: just doesn't I don't know. It's called Storm and Fury.
Speaker 4: Okay, well I'm I will be reading this.
Speaker 1: I know, great advertising, Like if you guys got sued
Speaker 1: by Disney. This is right, I get banned from by
Speaker 1: Mothers for Liberty, Liberty, mothers, what's her name, Moms for Liberty.
Speaker 3: We're called Moms for Liberty, and we do have great potlucks. Yeah. No,
Speaker 3: I'm not a member of this group, although it sounds like,
Speaker 3: I like the community, sounds like a good time.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just wild that they're going, it's just
Speaker 2: now straight to the police station with a book saying
Speaker 2: you need to arrest them, and also having no idea
Speaker 2: what pornography is child pornography or laws, Like, truly, this
Speaker 2: is child pornography. If I handed this child pornography, this
Speaker 2: is child pornography. Is like the logic that we're.
Speaker 3: Using here, I just don't understand because like, do you
Speaker 3: know kids who would be reading that like that age range.
Speaker 3: It's like your imagination is like the most like vivid
Speaker 3: pornographic thing at that age, or at least mine was.
Speaker 3: And I'm just like this book is like paling into
Speaker 3: in comparison to whatever is already going on in those
Speaker 3: you know, tween's minds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like, come on, can I get some more
Speaker 1: descript words here?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Exactly, they get jiggy to this passage about the gargoyle
Speaker 1: almost having sex, as the kids can take you to
Speaker 1: say to this day, I can't get jiggy with this reference. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but this is a book that would be like recommended
Speaker 1: as a skip like from one teenager to another, be
Speaker 1: like no, you skip that. They like they don't even
Speaker 1: have sex, like they just like make out and almost
Speaker 1: have sex, like this is this is not the one,
Speaker 1: but this is like the best that Moms for Liberty
Speaker 1: can come up with for the like, you know, evidence
Speaker 1: that there's a plot to spoil the minds of their children.
Speaker 1: The book is recommended, by by the way, for fourteen
Speaker 1: to eighteen year olds, so you know, also known as
Speaker 1: high school age. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, again, it's just like they they were doing, they
Speaker 2: were trying to go to school board route and now
Speaker 2: it's just they're like fuck it, man, just go straight
Speaker 2: to the cops. It's funny how like the you know,
Speaker 2: some police are like, I don't know what you want
Speaker 2: me to do here, They're like the governor said, and
Speaker 2: they're like okay. But then you have like other incidents
Speaker 2: is where these parents have tried something like that and
Speaker 2: some are like, okay, we're investigating it or whatever, which
Speaker 2: is just fucked up because you're like.
Speaker 3: We're investigating it just the whole police department like reading
Speaker 3: that book on their lunch break.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, but yeah, it's just again the like the
Speaker 2: cheapening of like actual like this is the same thing,
Speaker 2: like they're they're throwing people off from like what real
Speaker 2: child trafficking is, what actual child pornography is by just
Speaker 2: going this route of being like they're gargoyles almost banged
Speaker 2: and that's illegal, and you're like, you're actually doing a
Speaker 2: disservice to like the actual people who are trying to,
Speaker 2: you know, protect children from having to like be in
Speaker 2: child pornography. But this is this is a better use
Speaker 2: of their time, I guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Gargoyle sculptures are like aren't they usually nude?
Speaker 3: Like yeah, well they're like little like kind of buff
Speaker 3: little men and maybe there's like a little cloth or
Speaker 3: something that they're wearing. But yeaheah.
Speaker 2: Anyways, I'm trying to find out why are gargoyles hot?
Speaker 3: Okay, that's a good question.
Speaker 1: No one is actually answering this. I do like that
Speaker 1: they brought the book in a large Manila envelope. It's
Speaker 1: a five hundred and twelve page book and they're like,
Speaker 1: this is evidence, State's evidence. Yeah exactly right, clear bag.
Speaker 4: I just imagine them just like being okay, like and
Speaker 4: they take the book back and put it in a
Speaker 4: little jail cell.
Speaker 1: Right exactly. Yeah, like stop resisting and they throw the
Speaker 1: book down. You're like, oh my god, y'all are yeah
Speaker 1: for real?
Speaker 2: And this is like interesting too, because it's like that
Speaker 2: one thing we saw in Utah forget. I don't know
Speaker 2: if I haven't checked back in on the state of it,
Speaker 2: but remember one parent was like, oh, if you think
Speaker 2: this book's bag bad, check out the Bible.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's such a good point.
Speaker 2: And like that one that one school board is like
Speaker 2: all right, yeah, we'll look into it.
Speaker 1: Maybe it does need to get banned. And you're like,
Speaker 1: wait what the Bible could get that to man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we're fucking crazy anything anything.
Speaker 2: Man, Uh so here we are. But yeah, Bill Shakespeare
Speaker 2: should also be on the They probably can't parse through
Speaker 2: like the like the like literary nature of Shakespeare and
Speaker 2: they're like, how does.
Speaker 1: A beast have two backs? And you're like, never mind.
Speaker 1: It's like y'all are reading inner racial porno right now.
Speaker 1: But you're like confused, I don't know these words. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well for an idea of what they have in mind
Speaker 1: for like how to parent? So obviously you know books
Speaker 1: that exist in a universe where set where sex is
Speaker 1: a reality, obviously out the window. Burn those literally. But
Speaker 1: on the other hand, like how do you keep tabs
Speaker 1: on your children? Well, we have a new house speaker,
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson, to take our cues from. We just kind
Speaker 1: of skipped over this yesterday. Yeah, this should probably be
Speaker 1: just what our podcast asked is about from now on.
Speaker 1: But so the new speaker, like an old clip from
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty two Christian event called War on Technology,
Speaker 1: went viral over the weekend in which this new speaker,
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson, paused for a moment to praise the tech
Speaker 1: that allowed for sermons to be streamed. So that's one
Speaker 1: good piece of technology. Well we'll keep We'll let them
Speaker 1: stick around when we do our war on technology. The
Speaker 1: other one that he praised Covenant Eyes, his go to
Speaker 1: shamewear app that prevents people from looking at porn. We
Speaker 1: had covered the existence of this shamewear before. It's basically
Speaker 1: you create a buddy system with one other person, and
Speaker 1: then that person gets a report about your Internet use
Speaker 1: from that week at the end of the week and
Speaker 1: is like finds out if you stray from a Jesus
Speaker 1: approved browser history. Essentially, it's called Covenant Eye. It's it's
Speaker 1: just so we and so and in this like when
Speaker 1: he's like, I love Covenant Eyes, and my accountability partner
Speaker 1: is my seventeen year old son. That's why are you
Speaker 1: even opening that door? Like, son, you know, I jack
Speaker 1: off right too much. Hey look man, I get it.
Speaker 1: I just jacked off right before to talk to you.
Speaker 2: Why are we opening this? I mean again, but this
Speaker 2: is I think this is part of how like backwards
Speaker 2: his worldview is. Like because we've talked about how this
Speaker 2: guy is also like into like you know, like gay
Speaker 2: torture and like has been with all these like virulent
Speaker 2: like homophobic groups and like you know, just trying to
Speaker 2: criminalize gay sex. So he's definitely in like the farthest
Speaker 2: reaches of the extreme part. And then yeah, it makes
Speaker 2: sense that now he's just using this or that sort
Speaker 2: of ideology is wrapped up in and now I was like,
Speaker 2: and now my on is part of my accountability team,
Speaker 2: and you know this here we are just to further
Speaker 2: shame people for whatever the fuck they're doing as humans.
Speaker 3: Have you guys ever seen this where like a married
Speaker 3: couple will be sharing an email address. Do you have
Speaker 3: anyone in like your like I have some you know,
Speaker 3: some people I know who are like more conservative religious,
Speaker 3: And it seems to be a thing that like there's
Speaker 3: some suggestion that, like, you know, you should not have
Speaker 3: your own accounts, right that, like I think, and I
Speaker 3: think it's to this the same like premise as Covenant eyes,
Speaker 3: that this.
Speaker 4: Will be accountability.
Speaker 3: This way, you can't have secrets from your spouse or
Speaker 3: be like conducting, you know, having affairs or whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't have anything to hide, bro, Why not have
Speaker 1: Why would we have separate emails when we could have
Speaker 1: one just giant, unwieldy inbox. Oh my god, I have
Speaker 1: to monitor each other.
Speaker 3: This would be Matt's nightmare, would be sharing an email
Speaker 3: account with me because I have like three hundred thousand
Speaker 3: unread message and he has none.
Speaker 1: Zero zero in box person. I think the fascists, yeah,
Speaker 1: but zero zero inbox people are like a different species
Speaker 1: that I don't I should, like, I want to study them,
Speaker 1: like they're a higher life form.
Speaker 3: Than yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2: But yeah, like the single email address is very like
Speaker 2: Mike Pence, like I will never have a mother, I'll
Speaker 2: never be alone with a woman anywhere because you know,
Speaker 2: because God trust myself.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3: It is so frightening the whole premise of this. And
Speaker 3: by the way, like they have multiple devices, right, like
Speaker 3: it's all for show, Like it doesn't.
Speaker 4: It's completely meaningless, right.
Speaker 1: The idea that this old guy is like his son
Speaker 1: is unable to get around these censors, that like he
Speaker 1: is beholden to his kind of is very funny to
Speaker 1: me that he's like he did say, he said his
Speaker 1: son's his accountability partner, his son. I'm proud to tell
Speaker 1: you my son has got a clean slate, which is
Speaker 1: funny because no, he doesn't. He's just like better at
Speaker 1: technology than you, you dumb fuck. Yeah, they're like he
Speaker 1: loves drawing naked women though so many drawings.
Speaker 2: This kid has some really explicit stuff, but he's he
Speaker 2: knows the human form, right, but.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, and also like that statement of him being like,
Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you my son clean slate conspicuously
Speaker 1: omits his own slate, which suggests that his seventeen year
Speaker 1: old is like having to like catch him in the
Speaker 1: act of jacking off all the time. Oh god, yeah,
Speaker 1: God like that. I don't know. It's I guess it
Speaker 1: wouldn't be like and your daughter a playboy right there
Speaker 1: in front of a cop. But it's like telling your
Speaker 1: seventeen year old son that you jacked off to a playboy.
Speaker 1: Like there's also not great. I feel like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: shouldn't approve of that, but at least it's his dad.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how the fattest. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 2: how what the steaks are exactly. But what's funny though,
Speaker 2: is like that there are actual steaks from him talking
Speaker 2: about using this app. Because many people heard this and
Speaker 2: they're like, I'm sorry, you have spywear basically on your
Speaker 2: phone that monitors all of your Internet activity.
Speaker 1: Spywear for Jesus though, Oh okay, spy in this count
Speaker 1: in this case is Jesus.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I'm sorry. And but either way, Jesus that
Speaker 2: you are looking at sensitive materials, can Jesus also see
Speaker 2: that through here?
Speaker 1: Yes? And it's okay that I look at porn because
Speaker 1: Jesus looks at it. With me, and he's like that
Speaker 1: one's all right that one.
Speaker 2: Skip this one, skip this one, skip this one, open
Speaker 2: a new tab, dude, close to the next.
Speaker 3: Setting worse and worse by the minute.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like I think that's what's like Now everyone's like,
Speaker 2: this is an actual national security risk.
Speaker 1: You have this kind of shit on your phone. Well,
Speaker 1: this is what we covered like the first time we
Speaker 1: covered it. In addition to it being like a weird
Speaker 1: like social dynamic where people are like shaming themselves into
Speaker 1: like not and like shaming each other, and like a
Speaker 1: lot of times this is distributed or like it's a
Speaker 1: tool that like your pastor tells you about in these
Speaker 1: communities and is like you should be on Covenant Eyes
Speaker 1: if you're not already Covenant eyes Jesus Christ, Like what
Speaker 1: a weird. But the other reason that we were covering
Speaker 1: it is it's created by a former NSA mathematician and
Speaker 1: the app reportedly exploits androids accessibility permissions, allowing them to
Speaker 1: record every website visited in the device's browser. And also
Speaker 1: like Google had to remove it from their app store
Speaker 1: because it they were also it was like monitoring everything
Speaker 1: someone did on their phone, not just the browser stuff right,
Speaker 1: And so Google, even with like not famous for their
Speaker 1: respect for digital privacy, had to step in and be like, guys,
Speaker 1: this is this is weird.
Speaker 3: Isn't the keyword? They're also android? Because I feel like
Speaker 3: there definitely don't have iPhones right.
Speaker 1: No, no, I don't think you can let me see
Speaker 1: is it on iOS?
Speaker 3: Let's seyeah, because I could see where this could be a.
Speaker 1: Useful tool just it's on it's on iOS.
Speaker 3: Oh you can get it, just just to like shame
Speaker 3: yourself into not like going being on Instagram so much
Speaker 3: or like, like you know, if I if I had
Speaker 3: an accountability partner, they could be like, oh my god, Amanda,
Speaker 3: you like search like looked into pants for like three
Speaker 3: hours on Monday.
Speaker 4: Like you need to kind of get your act together.
Speaker 1: Also need to specify your searches that you just wrote
Speaker 1: into the into Google.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I used more specific than pants for me me
Speaker 3: want pants, me pants pants me.
Speaker 1: Then it got into pantsing. It's very weird. It's a
Speaker 1: weird rabbit hole.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it right in the end, though, somehow
Speaker 3: I find my way back to the north Strom website.
Speaker 1: You stand up and your pants are like fourteen sizes too. Big,
Speaker 1: but so even he like, on the one hand, at first,
Speaker 1: I was like, maybe he's just like saying this because
Speaker 1: it's like a weird like Christian cred thing, you know.
Speaker 1: But he specifically was like complaining about how it was
Speaker 1: baggy or sorry, how it was buggy. Not like your
Speaker 1: pants baggy, but it was buggy, and had flagged two
Speaker 1: women conversing with his son as questionable. So like he
Speaker 1: has like detailed user experience that he's like talking about
Speaker 1: with this thing that was created by some creep who
Speaker 1: used to work for the NSSAY allegedly and just uses
Speaker 1: the idea of Christianity to like get people to send
Speaker 1: him their porn browsing history.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, the surveyor who thought the surveillance state was kinky.
Speaker 2: Just like they're like, yeah, man, I don't know if
Speaker 2: that's I can see everything with this app. It's just
Speaker 2: again I don't know. I think it's just more parody
Speaker 2: for what's happening, because it's like this guy is we
Speaker 2: just had we were talking earlier about how he had
Speaker 2: no bank account. Now like one of his like spokes
Speaker 2: he was like, he has a bank account, he just
Speaker 2: didn't report it. And you're like that's better.
Speaker 1: That's weird.
Speaker 2: Man, So much murky shit going on with him, it's
Speaker 2: just so like but I guess that's part and parcels.
Speaker 1: Yeah. He also like spearheaded at Christian based law school
Speaker 1: in Louisiana, which never actually had any students and ultimately
Speaker 1: lost five million dollars. Oh yeah. The Washington Post like
Speaker 1: did a deep dive where they were like where did
Speaker 1: that money go? And why were you over selling this thing?
Speaker 1: After you got a report that was like, this is
Speaker 1: a fucking bad idea. Man, Nobody there is literally nobody
Speaker 1: who there's no base for this, Nobody's going to be
Speaker 1: interested in this, and he just like kept selling it.
Speaker 1: Have to pushing it.
Speaker 2: So oh so no one wants an institution that focuses
Speaker 2: on training Christian attorneys in northwest Louisiana.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean it sounds like a surefire bet right
Speaker 1: there when you say it, But I don't know. I
Speaker 1: guess I guess the data said otherwise.
Speaker 2: So yeah, anyways, a lot of question marks about this speaker,
Speaker 2: but hey, this is yeah, I mean it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's funny, like even without this like weird stuff going
Speaker 2: on in his personal life, just like his the like
Speaker 2: where he's at on certain issues is like.
Speaker 1: Enough to be liked.
Speaker 2: He he is like a gargoyle who's like on the
Speaker 2: side of a church. Yeah, like his whole energy, but
Speaker 2: without his clothes on, without his clothes on.
Speaker 1: Well, actually with a suit on, because he's one of
Speaker 1: those you know kind gargoyles.
Speaker 3: I'm getting an alert here, I've got your guys's what's
Speaker 3: it called?
Speaker 1: What's the covenant?
Speaker 3: Eyes here just alerted me that you guys are having
Speaker 3: some some naughty search histories. No, no, I am gonna
Speaker 3: I'm gonna add you on Covenant. I so accept my request.
Speaker 1: Except my gargoyle no pants, that's my story. Gargoyle hung
Speaker 1: just hung from the side of the building.
Speaker 2: From What the heck you're talking about, Dad, I was
Speaker 2: asking the gargoyles I was hanging out somewhere and I
Speaker 2: misspelled it.
Speaker 1: Parents just don't understand. Let's uh, they should add a
Speaker 1: burse to that song that's about parenting a covenant account
Speaker 1: with your parents. Yeah, will Smith come back baby goes
Speaker 1: on national television and brags about how you don't jack
Speaker 1: off at all. Oh no, oh boy, Well hey, maybe
Speaker 1: he's levitating. I'm all that I'm all that being so chaste.
Speaker 1: That's right, All right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: we're gonna come back. We're gonna talk Disneyland and Disney World.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back. We're back, Amanda Lund.
Speaker 1: You have a new podcast we mentioned up top Keys
Speaker 1: to the Kingdom, by the way, well named I don't
Speaker 1: I don't often say that about about podcasts, but just
Speaker 1: a perfect name. But you're you are using your background
Speaker 1: as a Disney Park cast member, as well as a
Speaker 1: bunch of research and interviews to take people behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: And there's one story that popped onto our radar about
Speaker 1: people people are apparently pooping all over the park in
Speaker 1: places they're not supposed to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I it was wild, how I like when we
Speaker 2: were putting together stories for the episode, like this story
Speaker 2: like literally dropped like yesterday's on s f Gate.
Speaker 1: Highly regarded journalistic outlet, by the way.
Speaker 2: And so the story is sort of going on a
Speaker 2: lot of stories that are being shared on Reddit by
Speaker 2: former cast members and guests that seem to overlap. So
Speaker 2: one person posted in like a Disney Subreddit quote, I
Speaker 2: am in the queue for Rise of the Resistance. Someone
Speaker 2: let their kid take a dump on the floor and
Speaker 2: then they just walked out and left it.
Speaker 1: WTF.
Speaker 2: Then someone replied, for the skeptics, this actually happened. Fun fact,
Speaker 2: this was one of three shit related incidents at Rise today.
Speaker 2: Less fun fact I was here for all three of them. Wow,
Speaker 2: So it sounds like shit like this and the punt
Speaker 2: is intended has also happened on attractions like Flight of
Speaker 2: Passage at Disney World. Someone said, quote, let's just say
Speaker 2: that the attraction I work at has what the cast
Speaker 2: ended up dubbing quote the poop hall because of the
Speaker 2: amount of times guests have gone in there and pooped.
Speaker 2: We even put up a camera and it didn't stop it. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't know how hyperbolic courage is.
Speaker 3: This must be because the lines are long and like perhaps,
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not surprised. I've heard of one instance
Speaker 3: of this, but it was at Hong Kong Disneyland. Okay,
Speaker 3: then that was a friend told me a story. I
Speaker 3: think a guest maybe pooped in like a planter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, at least that's a planter versus right there
Speaker 1: in the line for right, planter. Are we not supposed
Speaker 1: to poop in the planters? Have been.
Speaker 4: Okay, so you've been pooping in the planters?
Speaker 1: Is that? I mean, I haven't. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: say like I did it frequently, but like I thought that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: like fertilizer, good for the plant.
Speaker 2: Let's just say his living room stinks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, falancing on like a tiny little But at the
Speaker 3: custodial the custodial staff at Disneyland, they've got stories and
Speaker 3: we actually this isn't poop related, but we talked to
Speaker 3: a Wall Street journal journalist who had written a story
Speaker 3: about people spreading ashes. Yeah, and that is a super
Speaker 3: common occurrence in the Haunted Mansion specifically. And here's just
Speaker 3: like a little tidbit. We talked about this in the
Speaker 3: last episode of the podcast. But when the custodial notices
Speaker 3: someone has spread ashes, they call it in over their
Speaker 3: little walkies as code Grandmas. But then they got in
Speaker 3: trouble for doing that, so they had to call it
Speaker 3: like whatever, clean up. Yeah, something.
Speaker 4: It's incredible that like that kind of stuff goes on.
Speaker 3: And I don't know, I mean, I personally have never
Speaker 3: even really seen or smelled poop at Disney.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, they want to keep the princesses insulated from
Speaker 1: that sort of thing they need you to.
Speaker 3: Just Yeah, and now that I say that, it's that's
Speaker 3: a lie because I did smell a lot of poop,
Speaker 3: poopy sipers.
Speaker 2: Kids diapers. Yeah, like is it it? I get that too.
Speaker 2: Like when you have thousands of little kids having to
Speaker 2: wait in long lines, shit happens.
Speaker 1: There, you know, exactly, like it needs they should have
Speaker 1: more bathrooms along the path of the line because it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, I was at Disney World less than a
Speaker 1: year ago, and you know you are waiting for hours
Speaker 1: if you don't remember to like get your kids, like,
Speaker 1: get your kid to the bathroom beforehand, Like it's at
Speaker 1: some point your four year old is going to be like, look, man,
Speaker 1: it's not It's not a question of if or when
Speaker 1: it's happening. It's a it's a question of where it's happened. Right,
Speaker 1: You got to bite the bullet and just be like, well,
Speaker 1: I just waited in a three hour line for nothing,
Speaker 1: right right, right, which is fine, But then your kid's
Speaker 1: gonna be like upset about having to mess that. But yeah,
Speaker 1: and I was curious if it's like because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of stories about adults going to the bathroom two say,
Speaker 1: you're like, hold on, what the fuck's going on? It's
Speaker 1: not just kids, And I don't know.
Speaker 2: If it's like, are people having some kind of like
Speaker 2: mightyical ALKI phenomenon kind.
Speaker 1: Of thing, you know, like people who have to like
Speaker 1: go to a bookstore and got to take a dump suddenly,
Speaker 1: Like are people just overwhelmed by the magic Kingdom and
Speaker 1: like their bowels go fantasmic on them or what? I
Speaker 1: think you might be.
Speaker 4: Honestly, I think you might be onto something.
Speaker 3: I feel like people are just so excited right right, yeah,
Speaker 3: and like maybe the clam chowder doesn't help. Not for me.
Speaker 1: That's what I do to, just walking around with a
Speaker 1: bread ball of housing it, just housing it and then
Speaker 1: no spoon, no spoon, like a fucking viking sipping out
Speaker 1: of my vanquished enemy's skull. Ye, And it's just as
Speaker 1: tough as that.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah, except it really gross. And people are
Speaker 2: like do you have to like slurp that like in
Speaker 2: line right in my ear, and like, look, it's been
Speaker 2: here in a while, but it sounds like the code
Speaker 2: system like is normal, right, because like you just said,
Speaker 2: there's code Grandma or whatever. They altered it for spreading ashes.
Speaker 2: And there's also a code for feces, which was code
Speaker 2: H for like horse manure, So the custodial staff you're
Speaker 2: clean up any like horseshit like on Main Street. And
Speaker 2: now they also have human code H for the human variety, which.
Speaker 1: Is human code H. Is so foreboding. That's like, that
Speaker 1: doesn't make me less curious what's going on. I'm following
Speaker 1: the employees who are like, we got a human code
Speaker 1: H over here. We gotta like it sounds like it
Speaker 1: to Tunetown or something like it. Or there's like some
Speaker 1: solilent green thing happening.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's scary.
Speaker 3: I bet they clean it up like so efficient efficiently
Speaker 3: that you like wouldn't even notice. Like I heard a
Speaker 3: story that one time at Disney during Christmas. You know,
Speaker 3: they have those big like Clydesdale horses. Okay, so one
Speaker 3: of the horses like dropped dead and they put like
Speaker 3: a little tarp over it. But they don't obviously want
Speaker 3: just like a dead horse in the middle of Main Street,
Speaker 3: so they surrounded the horse with Christmas carollers Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, as a way to kind of like distract
Speaker 3: from like to see here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, bad tarp. Shut the fuck up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. So I wonder if they'd do the same
Speaker 3: thing with like a little turd on the ground, if
Speaker 3: they'd be like quick Pinocchio, like go over there, like
Speaker 3: do some animation.
Speaker 1: In front of the little turd and put like a
Speaker 1: nicky hat on it on top of it.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's nothing, because anything is that can be made
Speaker 3: a magical moment, you know, and that is what Disney
Speaker 3: does best.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's more whimsical than a pile of excrement with
Speaker 2: a Mickey hat. I can't think of anything else like that?
Speaker 1: Would that would probably? Right? Mind it? I wonder like,
Speaker 1: do the people who run the show who are like,
Speaker 1: all right, get me twenty carollers over here and just
Speaker 1: have them circle the horse carcass and story like that's
Speaker 1: that's a sort of genius that I feel like, are
Speaker 1: these people who like, what is your background when you
Speaker 1: get to that position? Is your background like being a
Speaker 1: casino pit boss? Or are you are you coming from
Speaker 1: like the world of like you know, I've been involved
Speaker 1: in many kinetic situations in the Middle East, if you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. They're probably coming from the Pentagon,
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, yeah, the Pentagon is a revolving door
Speaker 1: between the Pentagon and be like controlling, like being the
Speaker 1: eyes in the sky at Disneyland and Disney World.
Speaker 3: You would think so, but I think the road to
Speaker 3: getting like that job is just being a Disney adult
Speaker 3: and believing so heavily in the magic that you will
Speaker 3: do whatever it takes to protect the magic.
Speaker 1: Including if a kid sees the dead horse, that kid
Speaker 1: needs to go because otherwise he's going to get out
Speaker 1: into the world start talking about it and he's going
Speaker 1: to just hit the magic a little bit.
Speaker 3: Or what you do is you indoctrinate that child and
Speaker 3: you make sure they have a lifelong career in the company, right,
Speaker 3: like keep your enemies closer, oh right.
Speaker 2: Right right, absorb them. They're like, hey, kid, we got
Speaker 2: a lot of potential. Don't wait it out there in
Speaker 2: the real world. You should you should apply that here
Speaker 2: in the Kingdom.
Speaker 1: What do you think if you ever get the sense
Speaker 1: that they're turning, you gotta you gotta take care of
Speaker 1: that really quick. Oh yeah, yeah. They're like yeah, and
Speaker 1: they and they do a thing. They're like, you don't
Speaker 1: want a bunch of carollers singing around you, right, you know?
Speaker 1: What to focus on. Right end up spread around the
Speaker 1: hunted mansion, do you yeah, you.
Speaker 3: Take them over to Tom Sawyer's Island. Yeah, just take
Speaker 3: a little boat ride. Take a little boat ride with me. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The real grim like a mob hit on the canoes.
Speaker 4: You know those canoes that no one goes on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, let's let's go on a canoe.
Speaker 1: Right to go fishing? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's do that.
Speaker 2: It's interesting too, like even how like even the design
Speaker 2: of I didn't realize there are certain parts of the
Speaker 2: park that are like sort of acknowledging rivers of excrement.
Speaker 1: Which I did not know. This is alleged.
Speaker 2: Allegedly in Liberty Square, there's a there's an odd brown
Speaker 2: path that is meant to hearken the sixteenth century when
Speaker 2: indoor plumbing didn't exist and represent the river of excrement
Speaker 2: that would have been flowing when people emptied their chamber pots.
Speaker 2: So they're like, I don't know if like this is
Speaker 2: what they're trying to do, Like it's supposed to look
Speaker 2: like an odd path, but like people with a historic
Speaker 2: lenses like that kind of looks like back in the
Speaker 2: day when people just dump their pooh and p out
Speaker 2: in the middle of the street and created a little
Speaker 2: sewage river.
Speaker 4: Huh yeah, yeah, the imagineers are really sick.
Speaker 1: Oh you sick fucks. Yeah. I think to your point,
Speaker 1: like one clinical psychologist explanation behind like public defication includes anxiety,
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, kids getting ready to go
Speaker 1: on a ride or even like adults. I saw some
Speaker 1: like pretty wild shit happened, like as an adult got
Speaker 1: to the front of like the longest line I waited
Speaker 1: in when I was at Disney World was like the
Speaker 1: Ratituey ride, and like there was an adult who like
Speaker 1: wanted their ride to go like exactly the way they
Speaker 1: had envisioned it, and so they didn't want to ride
Speaker 1: with anybody else next to them, and the people had
Speaker 1: to like kick them off the ride because they were
Speaker 1: like fighting with them. It was like very very sad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's just like too much.
Speaker 3: People truly snap. And you just also have to imagine
Speaker 3: like the amount of people going through Disneyland, like on
Speaker 3: any given dal, Like their crowd control is so good
Speaker 3: that you don't even really can't even comprehend how many
Speaker 3: people are actually around you, and so just statistically, like
Speaker 3: some of those people are going to have a tummy ache, right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I think it's also too.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like, you know, I get the anxiety
Speaker 2: part because it's so fucking expensive to go to Disneyland
Speaker 2: disney World, and if you don't live in Florida or California,
Speaker 2: like that's an expense, people say, a lot of fucking
Speaker 2: money to take their family to go have this experience.
Speaker 2: And I can just see how that can mount to
Speaker 2: a point where yeah, maybe you know, your stomach goes
Speaker 2: goes haywire a little bit, I to take a shit,
Speaker 2: But I mean it's like I feel like it's the
Speaker 2: same way, like right, like we were talking like earlier,
Speaker 2: like when the show first started, We're talking about how
Speaker 2: there's so many fights with parents at Chuck E Cheese
Speaker 2: and yeah, yeah, that's also because they serve alcohol. But
Speaker 2: a lot of people also point to the fact that
Speaker 2: a child's birthday coupled with like maybe stressed finances and
Speaker 2: things like that can create like a high anxiety environment
Speaker 2: that can just go off at any second.
Speaker 1: And I've seen recently like clips of like people fucking
Speaker 1: scrapping at Disneyland too, and you're like, I can see
Speaker 1: how like all of that can come together where it's
Speaker 1: coming out in like people getting aggressive with each other
Speaker 1: or maybe just vers.
Speaker 3: Left taking just a little poop, just squatting in line
Speaker 3: Pirate to the Caribbean and just like letting a few
Speaker 3: up and then moving on your way, saying, Hey, it's
Speaker 3: my numbers up, I'm going to get on this ride.
Speaker 1: Yeah, money I'm paying, I should be allowed to take
Speaker 1: a shit in this line.
Speaker 3: Right, exactly right.
Speaker 2: And I get why too, Like that the person you're
Speaker 2: talking about, Jack probably who knows how much money they spent,
Speaker 2: and like in their mind they're like, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: your motherfuckers, oh me this, I'm getting ratitude this fucking way.
Speaker 2: And you're like, well, we have like thousands of people
Speaker 2: in line here, like we can't really guarantee that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: people want to fucking lose it, but hey, I don't know,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: And like the Disney like business plan has been like
Speaker 1: I remember we were talking within the last year the
Speaker 1: like park attendance was down, and then it was revealed
Speaker 1: that was actually part of their plan because they just
Speaker 1: like charged so much money that people would actually stop
Speaker 1: coming in such high numbers to the park, and like
Speaker 1: it wouldn't the drop in attendance wouldn't offset the amount
Speaker 1: of money they were making, and it would make it
Speaker 1: like a better experience for the people there, except of course,
Speaker 1: for the people who can't afford it and are like
Speaker 1: Jesus like having a breakdown because they're realizing like they're
Speaker 1: putting too much pressure on this moment because they've gone
Speaker 1: into debt to accomplish it.
Speaker 3: It's that's crazy. I mean, if I was a billionaire,
Speaker 3: like I would just become a Club thirty three member
Speaker 3: and like pay whatever thirty thousand dollars a year just
Speaker 3: to have that kind of like no line experience.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's Club thirty three. That's real. That's a
Speaker 1: club at Disney that's like behind the scenes and it's
Speaker 1: invite only. Oh you get beat into it by Mickey
Speaker 1: Mouse and Pluto. You have to name a bunch of
Speaker 1: cereals why they ala?
Speaker 2: No, that's the Proud Boys when they're doing Sorry I
Speaker 2: get it mixed up sometimes.
Speaker 1: But yeah.
Speaker 2: I remember, like I had a friend who was like
Speaker 2: whose family was fully Disney brained as kids, and I
Speaker 2: remember they, through somebody at their church they went to
Speaker 2: got the chance to go and eat at the restaurant
Speaker 2: and ship and like like for them, it was like
Speaker 2: ascending to the next level of existence. They're like, we're there, dude,
Speaker 2: Like you'll never see it. Who couldn't take pictures? And
Speaker 2: like there are there are some pictures on the internet,
Speaker 2: but apparently those like totally unauthorized because you're not you're
Speaker 2: not supposed to have images of coveted club.
Speaker 3: I've been in. I've done a few special events.
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, and thirty grand I mean.
Speaker 3: Of course it's amazing. There's a full bar, there's a buffet.
Speaker 1: Hey is it how close? Is how similar is the
Speaker 1: vibe to the eyes wide shot party?
Speaker 4: Oh it's quite there's quite a bit of overlap.
Speaker 1: Yeaeah single icy piano key the whole time you're walking
Speaker 1: in yes, plague doctor masks. Yeah. Well, Amandli, what a
Speaker 1: pleasure having you on the show. Where can people We'll
Speaker 1: find you, follow you, hear you all that good stuff?
Speaker 4: Well, thank you for having me. This was amazing.
Speaker 3: I laughed, I learned, I loved. I met at Amanda
Speaker 3: fun Buns on Instagram. Curious there's some cat photos there
Speaker 3: for you. And then Keys to the Kingdom is out
Speaker 3: wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: Amazing, and hey, is there something that you learned that
Speaker 1: you were like, this is so much darker. This goes
Speaker 1: beyond anything that I expected coming in to Keys to
Speaker 1: the Kingdom.
Speaker 4: I thought you met on your podcast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, say the guard just imagining like the gargoyles dick
Speaker 3: was pretty dark for me.
Speaker 1: It's a super big gargoyle dick. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: There's so much on Keys to the Kingdom. I like,
Speaker 3: I can't even really pinpointed. But there's there's a story
Speaker 3: about speaking of shit. Actually, one of our anonymous sources
Speaker 3: has a pretty good story about being dressed as a
Speaker 3: pirate and shipping their pants and having to take the
Speaker 3: ferry with guests to costuming backstage while they had a
Speaker 3: underwear filled with oh well shit and it was like
Speaker 3: on their shoes and stuff too, because they had a
Speaker 3: they had a big accident. Oh no, wow, that was dark.
Speaker 1: Constant thing at Disney, Like, they're right, they're drawing it
Speaker 1: out with their weird alchemy of like painted on rivers
Speaker 1: of shit and they're interesting.
Speaker 4: Amazing, But anyway, check it out.
Speaker 3: Check it out, and uh, you know, even if you're
Speaker 3: not a super big Disney fan, I think you'll still
Speaker 3: enjoy hearing about kind of like the workplace my new
Speaker 3: show working for like these big corporations pretty interesting, amazing.
Speaker 1: Is there a work of media that you've been enjoyed?
Speaker 4: Oh I wanted to, Yeah, I have something.
Speaker 3: So this is if you want to kind of relax
Speaker 3: and get away from Twitter and Instagram, check out YouTube.
Speaker 3: And every morning in my house we put on an
Speaker 3: ambient AI generated screen saver. So if you just YouTube
Speaker 3: like like Fall Festive Fall screen saver, there there will
Speaker 3: be so many like autumnal scenes with like rain and
Speaker 3: a fireplace, and usually there's like a cat or a
Speaker 3: dog like breathing like really softly on a big sofa.
Speaker 3: But they're all AI generated. So then you'll start looking
Speaker 3: closer and seeing these like weird things like oh, why
Speaker 3: is there just like a pumpkin in a cage like
Speaker 3: in the foreground, Just really strange stuff that we have
Speaker 3: one on in our house every single morning, and they're
Speaker 3: really relaxing and also kind of fun to just scan
Speaker 3: through and see if you can find like the weird
Speaker 3: things that the robots got wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah, cage, pumpkin in a cage.
Speaker 3: Because they'll just be like a credenza with like some
Speaker 3: pottery on it and like some fall pumpkins. And then
Speaker 3: you look close and you're like, why is there just
Speaker 3: like a pumpkin and like a scary torture cage.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but from a distance, you wouldn't even think twice.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's Cinderella's like carriage, was that? Yeah? Or like
Speaker 1: had did did that carriage like kind of operate on
Speaker 1: its own? Or it came with horses?
Speaker 3: Oh no, okay, so like the mice got turned into
Speaker 3: horses horses, someone got turned into a driver's.
Speaker 1: So you wouldn't you wouldn't need to cage that pumpkin
Speaker 1: when it wasn't when it was asleep, when it was
Speaker 1: just in pumpkin form, because even if it got turned back,
Speaker 1: it would just get wheels and probably go doors. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: that theory is out the door, but you know, we'll
Speaker 1: we'll solve it one of these days. AI is so
Speaker 1: good at its job. Well amazing. Thank you so much
