The Jungle episodes

  • Queen Mary's Rusty Bottom, Is Prince Eric ok?, & Jerry the Chimps Big Adventure

    Trevor and David are back with another wild ride of an episode—starting with  "Wait-Times” for your desk (yes, really), and ending with the legend of Jerry the Chimp from a pre-Disneyland “The Jungle” in Anaheim. Along the way, they unpack some wild plans for WestCOT Center, and the Queen Mary’s slow-motion sink into chaos.

    There’s Tiki-a-Go-Go hype, Haunted Mansion trivia that’ll melt your Doom Buggy-loving mind, Mermaid brainwashing, and Cajun Turkeys. Also: Trevor’s job news, mystery box giveaways, ancient strip-club history lessons, and why Disney+ documentaries feel like hostage videos.

  • Dadventureland, Vampire Hulks, & Grimm Disney Fairytales

    Trevor and David return to the mic for a wild ride through the Disney multiverse of mayhem.

    This week’s episode cruises from a retirement-home Sinatra serenade to the “officially unofficial” Anaheim Halloween Parade broadcast. Along the way, the guys rant about how Disney turned witty skipper improv into Dadventureland, reminisce about Universal Studios’ weirdest theme park moments, and debate whether Walt’s Apartment or Tarzan’s Treehouse makes the better post-apocalyptic hideout.

    Plus: tornado sightings, the bizarrely dark origins of classic Grimm fairytales, and much more!

  • Disney Queue Cloggers, 110 year old Beach Bunnies, & the Furby that wouldn’t die.

    Three years in and somehow we’re getting weirder, in the best way. We kick off with Taco Bell’s Y2K menu (double down on the double-decker), a Furby that will not die, and Jess’s spooky-cool “Bottle-yaga” for Knott’s Into the Fog. David returns from a cross-country odyssey (Marceline pilgrim badge unlocked) plus an Angels Flight joyride and a spicy modern-art rant (banana, meet wall). We swap EPCOT lore from the man behind “Drinking Around the World,” then dive into park reality: line-cutting mega-squads, DIY Lightning Lane scams, and why Disney’s feeling more two-tier than ever.

    Also: introduce yourself to the Lincoln Challenge (stand like the animatronic—no hands, no lawsuits), a Star Tours hat caper, and a Patreon tease for our two-part Marceline video drop. It’s tangents, tiki, and just enough chaos to keep the Jungle boat afloat.
