Episode 462
Show notes
In 2001, Disney World dumped this cartoon-lookin’ spinner ride in the middle of Adventureland. People hated it — and still hate it. But is it really that bad?

Pre-23 (D23 Preview)
Episode 458
Show notes
Every two years, Disney gathers fans at their convention in Anaheim to look at old robots from the archives, buy exclusive merch, and sit in rooms cheering/frothing at the mouth (in a good way) for announcements.
So, just like two years ago, PTR is placing bets on which mouth-frothing announcements we may or may not hear.
Hopefully, this intense, high-stakes betting won’t lead to all three of us developing gambling problems.

Mac Tonight with Mike Scollins
Episode 454
Show notes
For a brief period in the 1980s, McDonald's used a jazz singer with a talking moon for a head to promote the idea of eating hamburgers at night. It worked!
Despite only appearing for a short time, this suave moon man still lives in the hearts of many adult podcasters. Mike Scollins (Late Night with Seth Meyers) returns to PTR to share in the general fondness for our good pal Mac.
