April 27, 2015 Disneyland Trip Recap & Disney News
A big part of being a Disneyland fan is getting great info on the parks, tips on making your stay that much better, and opinions on which Churro stand is faster. Sometimes it's nice to just sit back and listen to people review their trips as well, which is why we bring our ...
Disneyland Trip Review & Disney News
But first ...

Taren runs through a massive amount of feedback we have gathered over the last few weeks, while Jason plays a sampling of his new passion - Greek Music! Then we jump right in to the topic - our Disneyland trip review!

Bev, Taren, and Jason all went to the parks recently, and it was a pretty special trip for all of us. We cover the cool Indiana Jones celebration that the Annual Passport program put on, as well as finally get our chance to experience Disneyland in the rain!

Then we play another game of Disney Trivia that Jason put together, and had three callers battle it out for a really cool prize - a pair of Covears!

Finally, we run through some Disney News and share some laughs.

Hope you enjoy the show, and we'll see you in the parks!

The turnout to hear Tony Baxter talk about Indiana Jones!

April 10, 2015 A Tale of Two Resorts: Our Interview with Kristi Fredericks
If you are anything like us, you have large therapy bills as well, but in addition to that, you are interested in taking your first trip to Walt Disney World. To help us learn about the differences between the two parks, we talk with Kristi, who wrote a book called ...
A Tale of Two Resorts
But first ...

Jason professes his love of great cinema, recommending The Love Guru (again!) and the runaway hit of the year, WolfCop! Yes, WolfCop. It's on Netflix, check it out.

We talk about Beverly's pending blog, and her fantastic new way of writing out her thoughts. Taren hits a little feedback, and then it's time for Kristi!

A Tale of Two Resorts is a great book for those of you looking to journey to Walt Disney World for the first time - or vice versa. Kristi lays out the core information that you need in an easy-to-understand style. Since we are more Disneyland-focused, we talked a lot about what to expect from going to WDW for our first time.

March 24, 2015 Disneyland By The Numbers
We all understand how large a place Disneyland is, but we've never heard just what it takes to keep a huge operation like this up and running. Today, Taren dives into ..
Disneyland By The Numbers
But first ...

Taren, Jason, and Beverly get excited for their upcoming trip to Disneyland - 5 days in the Magic Kingdom! Of course, Terrence was supposed to come along, but once again his real life got in the way of his magical one.

We received some great feedback from a listener over on iTunes asking for us to crank out a show a week! While an amazing and heart-warming request, it's pretty much impossible for us to pull off . Sorry!

Beverly explains her new workout routine, which just constitutes laughing a lot and calling it good, and then we get into the heart of the show - Disneyland By The Numbers - what it takes to keep Disneyland running. Pay close attention, because Taren actually invents an entire unit of measure in this show, one that we pretty much beat to death moving on.

A little Disney News, and that's a show!

Our Disneyland By The Numbers show is better than a selfie of a selfie ...

March 09, 2015 How To Be A Disney Performer
They say you should get a job doing something you love, that way it will never truly feel like work. Well, where else can that be but in Disneyland? If you have ever wondered what it takes to be on stage in a Disney Park, then you'll want to pay close attention as we learn ...
How to be a Disney Performer
But first ...

Jason starts the show by expressing his love of Stitcher Radio and it's free podcasts (of which EarzUp is one of), including his new favorite, Welcome to Night Vale. If you are into sci-fi/comedy/bizarre things, then you'll dig Night Vale.

Greg the Donator took advantage of our new policy that allows reoccurring donors to give us things to say on the air by penning a "poem" for Terrence and Jason to read. He did have directions for the boys to do numerous interpretive dances, but Terrence's leotards were at the cleaners, so we opted out of that portion.

Taren and Jason announced their new venture, Covears! They are cute little covers for your Mickey Mouse ears that allow you to dress up your hat while in the parks. They slip on and off with ease and will not damage your hat in any way. A cool way to add some personality to your favorite ear hat.

Finally, we get our guest on the line. Steve has been performing at Disneyland for a number of years, and had some really great tips on how to land a job entertaining guests for a living. He does live performances and song-and-dance numbers, and does a great job diving into detail about what it means to work at a place like Disneyland. It was a great interview, and Steve did a wonderful job making Terrence cry as well as letting us know how to be a Disney performer.

Before we exit the show, Taren and Terrence hash out their thoughts on the movie Frozen. "The Frozen Throwdown" came about from Taren hating Frozen, and Terrence challenging that thought. They got together and hashed out their thoughts in the only way they know how ... on the air.

Does learning how to be a Disney performer feel like pulling the sword from the stone? We break it down for you!

February 23, 2015 The History of Disney California Adventure
Disney California Adventure is one of the more polarizing topics for Disney geeks. Some hate it, some love it, and other still really don't care either way. Terrence digs in and gives us ...
The History of Disney California Adventure
Angry Bekah is in the studio again to make sure that Terrence doesn't mess anything up. She tries to fight her nickname of "angry", but then caves to peer pressure and finally accepts who she is.

Dan (AKA Mousebrew) is back to talk about some new drinks over in DCA that have been added due to the Frozen overlays peppered throughout the park. The overall consensus is: stick to beer.

Then we jump into some feedback from Larry, and segue into Terrence and his History of Disney California Adventure show! Terrence covers a lot of things here - how the park looked when it opened, what has changed since that fateful opening day, and how it looks now. It's a pretty good example of how over-thinking a theme park can really be a bad thing sometimes. Considering how many restaurants there were on opening day ...

Our friend and audio master Charlie (AKA PushEject - who makes really awesome videos with his kids, BTW) was up from LA, and chimed in, too. We never really introduced him in this show, so when you hear an mystery voice ... that's our pal Push!

Then we close the show with more odd stories of Terrence's eating habits in the parks and how he chased a young lady down for a bit of her turkey leg, and we get to the Fact of the Show.

Also, Jason lost the video for this show, sorry about that!

See you in the parks!

February 10, 2015 An Interview with DisneyChris.com
There are literally hundreds of Disney-related websites out there, but none as interesting the one Chris has put together. Why? Well, sit back and find out as we have ...
An Interview With DisneyChris.com
The show starts with a discussion about loveliness and who has more of it. Taren or Terrence. Which is very, very important stuff. Taren and Jason recap their recent trip to Disneyland to check out some of the new Frozen attractions in DCFrozen, and we read (and react) to some feedback about our show only being worthy of two stars on our iTunes page because we were not Disney historians. Something we never have claimed in the first place, but ... we are still glad that person wrote in.

DisneyChris joined the conversation then, and our interview began. In case you are unaware, Chris runs DisneyChris.com, and audio site dedicated to the sounds of Disneyland's past. Seriously, the guy has loads and loads of classic audio that most Disneyland fans have never heard, including some pieces of Walt Disney's TV shows that were shot during the construction of Disneyland. It's amazing stuff, and we highly recommend playing around on his site. You can also follow him on Twitter, where he posts lots of clips and old, color-corrected photos of Disneyland.

Chris talks to us about his love of Disneyland, how he gets his audio, and some of the steps he does to restore and clean the pieces up. It's all very time-consuming.

Then we do some Disney News and our Fact of the Show and, once again, it's time to leave the studio!

See ya' in the parks!

January 26, 2015 What To Do With Kids 5 And Under at Disneyland
Terrence is the parent side of EarzUp! In addition to having two kids under the age of 5, he has navigated Disney with children in tow, and is the best to take us through ...
What to do with kids 5 and under at Disneyland
This was a pretty crazy show, by our standards. Terrence pulls us around to tell us what there is to do with kids 5 and under at Disneyland and DCA, and has some really cool tips to give. Beverly was on hand to give us her own tips for new mothers at Disneyland, and to give us some much-needed comic relief.

Also in the studio were Taren's parents who were kind enough to share an embarrassing memory from Taren's Disneyland past. It was both sad and amazing ... trust us.

Listener and friend-of-the-show John sent us our first ever bit of snail mail, which included some pretty neat old-school Disney flyers, that he just happened to find on the street. Thanks John ... we didn't catch anything after all!

We do some Disney News, Taren comes up with our new tag line, and our Fact of the show will have you dancing a little jig!

December 31, 2014 History of Adventureland
Adventureland remains one of the least refurbished lands in Disneyland today, but still has quite a bit of history to uncover. Join us as Terrence runs us through the ...
History of Adventureland
But first, we talk about all of the cool things have happened over our Christmas break - like Terrence taking a family trip to Disneyland, and Taren and Jason both getting some new Disneyland shoes for those long park days.

Terrence starts off his rundown of his trip by admitting that he had mis-judged Fantasyland, and after watching all of the movies that are represented there before his trip, he is now a huge fan of that section of the park.

We do our usual banter about random things, and Jason comes up with another million-dollar idea. Well, it's an idea, anyway.

Then we move into the history of Adventureland. Terrence hates Adventureland, so he decided to take this show and see if learning more about the history would make him appreciate it a bit more. We also tease him a bit, because he dressed his kid up as Prince. Terrence says the costume is really Captain Hook, but we know better.

Captain Hook or The Purple One? You judge ...

December 02, 2014 Disney Bucket List
We all have things we want to do before we die, but not all of them are related to Disneyland. In this episode, we change all of that, and get into the mouse-filled specifics of our ...
Disney Bucket List!
This show was a lot of fun for us, personally. We start by reading feedback from a listener who wanted to let us know how the disability passes work now, or rather how they don't work. Then we go over how you can get all 7 of the cool Disneyland Buttons, something we posted on our blog awhile ago, and finally ... the Disney Bucket Lists!

In case you don't know, a bucket list is just a list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket. It could be anything, really - sky's the limit. We decided to keep it semi-realistic for this show, even though we broke the rules a couple of times! This was a really fun exercise, and we challenge you to give this a shot and let us know what your Disney Bucket List would be!

After that, we had a call from Mary, a long-time listener and fan of the show, who called up with a very special surprise for her kids, and we hit the Fact of the Show!

One of Terrence's Bucket list items was to play some one-one-one up here.

So come on ... what ten things would YOU do?
