88 - Disneyland and Club 33
2026/10/01
AJ, Mike, and Chris spent a wild weekend in Anaheim for BizzCon, hanging out in Disneyland, and visiting Club 33! Yes, thanks to a generous invite from a listener, we got to experience an extraordinary visit to one of Disneyland's most fabled locations.
We also visited Oogie Boogie's Bash at Disney's California Adventure, road a runaway mine train through explosions, met Walt Disney, and bowed before royalty (it'll all make sense in the episode).

86 - Chris's Road Trip Report
2026/08/03
Chris takes the driver's wheel as he recounts his family's most recent road trip to Texas which included stops at three different theme parks!
Their first stop was at King's Island in Cincinnati, OH. After years of waiting, Chris and his son finally got to tame the legendary wooden roller coaster, The Best.
Once in Texas, Chris tells us about their experience at the newly opened Universal Kids Resort! While some have complained about sparse offerings and half baked theming, it sounds like Chris's kiddos had a great time exploring this barely two week old theme park.
Finally on the way home they checked off a Minotti family bucket list park, Dollywood! After years of accolades, Chris tells us if this park and its many attractions and roller coasters are worth the hype.

85 - Dinosaurs
2026/07/06
AJ, Mike, and Chris travel back to the golden age of the dinosaurs. That is, the animatronic ones design by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. That's right, we delving into the history and creation of the hit ABC family sitcom Dinosaurs.
We explore the show's origins as a feature film idea from Jim Henson himself into a biting satirical sitcom that tackled ideas like warfare, drug use, and corporate greed. The sitcom used groundbreaking technology to create dinosaurs that utilized traditional puppetry and advanced animatronics. With each character requiring at least three performers, this show was a production unlike any in history.

AJ, Mike, and Chris are here to discuss AJ's recent three day trip to Walt Disney World with our dad! In 72 hours, we hit all four parks, and thanks to minimal sleep, we did a lot!
Check out AJ's opinions on some newer attractions he got to experience for the first time including Tron Lightcycle/Run, Tiana's Bayou Adventure, and Test Track 3.0. Hear his thoughts on some excellent meals and drinks at old and new favorite places ranging from California Grill to Beak and Barrel. AJ just may have found a new favorite Disney cocktail on this trip!
