january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I was like, I was stressed. I was like so scared. My entire nightmare. I'll just tell you the part about you. For whatever reason, Jonathan, I don't know why you were in jail. You could, couldn't, you couldn't make bonds. So you had been in jail for like a couple of months and

JP:

Come

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

was

JP:

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

and then

Ash:

It's just because you were brown.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

like the journey of like trying to get you out and like he was trying to get you out on Friday.

JP:

Why you put the brown guy in jail?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh man,

Ash:

That's probably why I couldn't get you out.

JP:

Oh, Trump Trump's America.

Ash:

Yeah.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh man,

Yeah,

Ash:

That I definitely don't know

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I do.

JP:

now. Oh God. Give it to

Ash:

me.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Disney urban legend.

JP:

Oh, urban s that's French for legends. Do we, do we know, do we have to define what an urban legend is?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Ooh,

Ash:

Yes.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Babe, she's on it.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

with fiction.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

no,

JP:

It, it, it can be, it can like, it can, it can stem from something loosely guarded or loosely grounded in from like a factual foundation.

Ash:

A factual foundation.

JP:

Mm-hmm. But then it grows on to like develop some sort of, almost like, not a conspiracy theory, but like some sort of like, it, it grows into like a tall tale.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Okay.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Mm.

JP:

Who wants to fire it off? Do we have do we know any? I

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I know one.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

oh, is it the, or is it the Space Mountain one?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

no, you can have that one. I guess I know two

JP:

Alright. Give gimme one, Natalie.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

that people put. The ashes of, of their, of their people at In the haunted mansion.

Ash:

That's gross. Why would somebody do that?

JP:

They have a code for that. What's the code? This might be an urban legend part of it. 2319. What's the code?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

HEPA cleanup.

JP:

HEPA cleanup.. People try to spread ashes there all the time.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Disney does not allow this, and they will remove the ashes immediately. Imagine It's just like a dirt devil.

JP:

Yeah. There goes your family member and you're gonna get banned. You're gonna get kicked outta the park right away. You get Now gimme an urban legend, one that like,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

oh, there, there's one. What about, what about Disney being frozen?

JP:

that's an urban legend.

Ash:

I thought it was just his head.

JP:

That's it. That's see

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Okay, so Walt Disney's body

JP:

as it just body is just buried. Just in

Ash:

case. Yeah.

JP:

Is it just his head or what? This is an urban legend for sure. I thought it was his head. Good one. Natalie,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

That

JP:

me about

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

that gives me Mars vibes. Remember the, like they had the heads and the little orbs.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

oh my,

JP:

the mo. You mean the movie Mars Attacks? Okay.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yes.

JP:

All right. Good, good. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, how do you think that would, how do you think that would work?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Ah. I mean, do you, they have to keep your brain alive, right?

Ash:

Well, no, it's frozen.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yeah. Okay.

JP:

Have you ever, have you ever frozen anything? And then try, if you don't freeze it right, thaw it out like you ever try to freeze like blueberries or strawberries, they just go to mush.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yeah.

JP:

How do you think brains would freeze?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

So I wonder what kind of texture brain's like,

JP:

That's an interesting thought. After I thought it

Ash:

was like, jello,

JP:

it's wildly interesting that you like just thinking about that. So I think

Ash:

it's a valid concern.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

fruit and they get some mushy.

JP:

So the brain might actually freeze well enough because there's like some fluid in there, but it's a thin layer of fruit fluid. So the way to freeze like strawberries or like any kind of berry is to like put it on a, on a cookie sheet and then rinse it with water and then put it in a freezer like that so they freeze individually first, and then you can combine them. So maybe like the, the fluid in the brain. Well, it's already already in like some sort of fluid, right. But it's not a very thick layer fluid. It's not like a pool of fluid. So like sloshing around and I'm getting dizzy, but it's gotta be in something. Right?

Ash:

So Florida spine and injury.com says the brain has a softer texture that feels more like tofu or butter.

JP:

Oh, very interesting.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Okay.

JP:

Next time you're,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

butter or cold butter.

JP:

well,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Okay. You know what?

JP:

like melted, like popcorn, like room temperature butter. Room temperature, butter. Okay.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yeah.

JP:

Well tofu. Tofu is like a little patty, like it's a little ca it's got some density to it. I can see the tofu thing. Yeah. So next time you're like, poking around the butter dish or Thanksgiving, be like, this is, I'm practicing brains.

Ash:

The average adult human brain weighs about three pounds.

JP:

I feel like we learned that in what's that movie? Tommy McGuire, whatever it is. Show me the money. I can't think of that name.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Was that a Tom Cruise movie?

JP:

Yeah, but

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Okay.

JP:

it's, what is it? It's like Mark.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

generation.

JP:

Yeah. Good stuff.

Ash:

It, it says it's super squishy, so easily deformed.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Who

JP:

So, Natalie, in your, in your version of the urban legend for freezing the Walt, the big cheese, is it just his head or is it his whole body?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

no. His whole body.

JP:

His whole body. His whole body there. And then Ashley heard like head only.

Ash:

I mean the whole body makes more sense.

JP:

Well. Here's what makes it really unique. So like, what did he do? He spent his life making animatronics, trying to resurrect people like Abraham Lincoln bring them back to life. So maybe it's something he gave thought to, like, he frees me up. And then once you make a cool enough animatronic, bring my ass back.

Ash:

Isn't there like a whole fight going on about that right now? About

JP:

what?

Ash:

About Walt being an animatronic?

JP:

Yeah. His family was like, I don't think it's cool. Yeah. They were like, I don't think he would want to be. And then they were like, he made all these other dead people into animatronics, so why is it not good enough for him?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

would

JP:

Yeah.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

you know, shut the fuck up. You don't

JP:

You don't even know Walt. That's, that's right. That's what I'm saying. Like, they didn't like, they're like, you didn't even meet Walt, like maybe his daughter I'm sure had to meet him, but like for them to be like arguing over like whether or not it was, it's a good idea or not, it's like. Come on, man. You think that Abraham Lincoln said some of the stuff that he says in at the Hall of Presidents or that that's an, an accurate, the most accurate representation you could have of him? Probably not, but Walt okayed it. He authorized it. He gave it the green light.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

wow.

JP:

Yeah.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

know, adding to that.'cause as I'm, as we're chatting, I'm also like, and one of the versions of urban legend is the fact that guess where his body is in this particular one that I just read, which

JP:

Where it,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

he's frozen,

JP:

where it is

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

yeah. In this particular urban legend, don't look it up.

JP:

the Matterhorn.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

under Pirates of the Caribbean.

JP:

Which one? Disneyland or Disney World

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh, it doesn't specify.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

say that his body

JP:

is.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

know, he was cremated, right?

JP:

It's an

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

That's what they want

JP:

Bay Bay. It's an urban legend. I like how she was like, let me fight this with facts. No, it's an urban legend. Oh my goodness, bay. Which, what urban legends did. You have

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Ha. Have

JP:

heard

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

of real body being in the haunted mansion? Like

JP:

interesting

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

like a part of the

JP:

decorations

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

they're passing it off.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Right. But what the real true story is, is there used to be a real human skeleton once you used in the Pirates of Caribbean and Disneyland, And they, they replaced it with replica.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

That reminds me of an episode of 9 1 1, but that's fine. That's also A-B-C-A-K-A. Disney is cool.

JP:

Mm. No, I, I, I've heard of like the real bones being used initially in pirates. I think some of the urban legend around that is like, they still, they survive. Like they're there still. Although I don't know that that's legal.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

The bones

JP:

Yeah. Is like, you can't trade in anything. You can't trade, trade in like human remains. Like you can't even, you can't open an be able to buy

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

buy real human remains.

JP:

You, and you can't sell the services without like, specific licensing. So like, you can't,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

you use Bitcoin. Everybody knows.

JP:

there was I, at first I was like, I could make, like, I could take your. I could take the remains of somebody and mix them into resin and make a charm out of it instead of like an urn.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

make amulets

JP:

exactly. But

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

bracelets.

JP:

you can't advertise it like that. You gotta say like, Hey, your pet's ashes.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh.

JP:

Oh. And then you just be like, yeah, this is, this is Fido, but like Yeah, exactly. Air quotes, and all of a sudden auntie, auntie shows up in a bag. You don't know. Interesting. So the, the body at where was the body at?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

So

JP:

so they said that a real body was.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

used in haunted mansion, but the real, like, the true side of the legend is that pirate to the Caribbean in, in Disneyland, California.

JP:

I've heard of like, the haunted people, like cast members having to say, you know, good morning or goodnight to spirits inside of the haunted mansion in order to like ensure like safe ride operation the next day or throughout the day. Like,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I, I've heard there, so the, of a construction worker named George haunts the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disney World, and they'll

JP:

nice.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

George and goodnight George

JP:

Yeah,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

keep

Ash:

that's polite behavior.

JP:

I forget where the have you heard of the one-way rider?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

No, what is that? I'm scared.

JP:

So like there are reports that people would and I forget what ride it's on, but it's like you sit, so you get into a car and sit down and then there's a young man, like a redheaded man sitting next to you and they go through the whole ride and it gets time to get off and they're not there anymore. And that's why they call'em like the one way rider. And

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

God.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Terrifying.

JP:

Yeah. And there are just accounts where like, they'll just be like, yeah, well you were seated with the one way guy. And they'll go back to like footage and they'll be like, yeah, there's somebody in the cart with them.

Ash:

That's terrifying.

JP:

Yeah. No, that

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

That is

JP:

is terrifying. Wild, wild. It, it's, and I don't know what ride it was on or what park it's at, but it's, it's either at of, of course Disneyland or Disney World, but it's a, it's a coaster or a train vehicle of some kind.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

And then

JP:

ba

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Mountain.

JP:

is, I thought.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

oh, he sits next to you in

JP:

Disneyland.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Not in Disney World.

JP:

Okay.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Because in Disney World, you're one behind the other. In Disneyland, you actually can sit with somebody

JP:

Oh, very interesting. I have one haunted mansion, urban legend, and that,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

is it?

JP:

yeah, this is this is good. So at each of the haunted mansions at Disneyland and Disney World is like an antique hearse in the queue. And the, from what I understand, the one at Disney World was never in use for its intended use, but the one at Disneyland is was actually used in funerals. And they say this, the urban legend part, this is the deep shit here, that it was the one that was the hearse used for Brigham Young.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Ooh.

JP:

The second leader of the Mormon church and, and it was purchased in Utah and it was said to have been u used in that way. They can't, they can't prove otherwise and they can't confirm except that the Mormon church has stated that Brigham Young did not use a hearse at his funeral. So urban legend, it is because it can't be proved or disproven, but in case you're over there, you see the urban legend of Brigham Young in his final ride to glory.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Interesting. Interesting indeed.

JP:

have you heard of any urban legends, Ashley?

Ash:

No. You guys covered most of'em.

JP:

Yeah. What about people say that sometimes they see like Walt peeking out from like a castle,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Imagine

JP:

you know,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

or, or what about does it count? Like remember when they would say that if, if you're like the toy story peeps and you're like, and you scream out Andy, that everybody hits the floor, lies.

JP:

so less of an urban legend, more of a sunset thing that they used to do.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Hmm. Interesting.

JP:

too, like everyone would show up and be like, Andy's coming and it's no longer fun.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Right, right. No

JP:

And like, spend most of the day on your back. There are other jobs that you can do that make plenty of good money that way.

Ash:

I'm saying get paid better.

JP:

But yeah, like there's if you go to Universal, you can say things like when you go to. Right Hogwarts Express, but you're in the London side. If you're like, Hey, is this is this how you get to platform nine and three quarters? And they'll just look at you and play the role, like think you're being funny, do you and kind of thing they'll stay in their role there. So like that, like those kinds of like treats on how people interact are only fun if you let them survive without abusing'em.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Right, exactly is why we can't have nice things.

JP:

It is honestly, that's why we can't have nice things. The moment moment everybody catches on and we get shit all over him.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Ugh.

Ash:

Why would someone be inclined to want their ashes in a Disney World Park?

JP:

It's a people's happy place. You know? People like to,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

place on earth. That's who

JP:

yeah.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

be there forever and ever.

Ash:

But they're not going to be there forever. There's water filtration systems.

JP:

No, I love Disney. Disney World is, she got so technical.

Ash:

Disney World's one of the cleanest places I've ever been, with the exception of the bathroom. I mean, you could be dropped in the bathroom. No. Do you, I need to get

JP:

the Petri dishes. The, they're making noises we haven't done. They're going Ting ting ting. Did

Ash:

we tell you about this? Remind me to send you the video. No, they're, they're clicking

JP:

remind me to send you the videos. Things are crawling around in there. He

Ash:

told me I was crazy. We grew

JP:

a whole new creature. You think that the cleanest place ever there? Disney's not the cleanest place. It hasn't been the cleanest place. And I, I feel, I feel like I wouldn't necessarily, I would, there's more discreet ways to do things. Like why would you dump out your ashes on a, in a place where they're looking and at the haunted mansion of all places.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Right

Ash:

The Space Mountain part doesn't make sense to me. What do you mean Haunted Mansion makes. Didn't somebody say that they jumped ashes at Space Mountain? Or did I mishear? Or am I misremembering?

JP:

I think it's more

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

h to mention

JP:

him.

Ash:

Oh.

JP:

Or pirates. Pirates is easier I think.'cause they're not always looking for it. And you put it into water. Right. Where would you, if you were gonna dump ashes, where would you put'em?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

If I, if

JP:

Nevermind.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

library.

JP:

You put them in the library.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

be

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yeah. Oh,

JP:

The,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I thought you

JP:

I love that you're like, you're like, let me just sprinkle'em on other people as I'm rolling around

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

The

JP:

park. Where would you put'em that safe? That nobody would be able to remove'em,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Hmm.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

We we're at the park.'cause I was

JP:

maam?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I was, I was,

JP:

Yeah. Like are you just putting'em in the grass?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Be cool to be in Space Mountain,

JP:

It would be. It would be difficult to find them in space, you know, and clean them up in Space Mountain, but they could survive.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

like, depending on how you're doing this

JP:

Yeah.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

like, it just

JP:

Well, we're gonna be discreet.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

behind you. I don't know.

JP:

That's what I'm saying. Like you, what's that kind of thing?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh man.

JP:

but yeah, like you, you wanna be discreet. You want'em to land where you, where you are intending them to be.

Ash:

No, that's fucking creepy.

JP:

Well, yeah, it's creepy. But people spread ashes all the time. People spread ashes, like at football stadiums and on cruises across the ocean and all sorts of different places. Right. They put ashes and they embed them in things. They do all sorts of stuff.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

one who told us that you can actually put a TA casket in the ocean?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

That was your parents?

JP:

No, that wasn't me. Like light it on fire.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

can be buried at sea. Like you, you have to, you have to coordinate with the city. You have to drill

JP:

Holes.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

your casket, and it has to be filled with 30 pounds of sand

Ash:

Oh, Jesus.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

at the feet.

JP:

See a sink?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

And

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

don't, I think it may have been 30 more than 30 pounds, to be honest, but we can say 30.

JP:

You gotta put some sort of ballast in there. Is that what you're saying?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I, I forgot how much it was. I

JP:

Who's trying?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

you

JP:

Who's trying to get in the ocean?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

in the ocean.

JP:

Are you trying to get buried at sea? Who's trying to get buried at sea?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I would like a Vikings funeral.

Ash:

Ooh. What's that like?

JP:

You just get lit up.

Ash:

Yeah,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

On the boat in the ocean.

JP:

yeah,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

my Christmas lights.

JP:

yeah. Ooh, what do you, how do you wanna, how do you wanna be, what do you want to happen to you, Natalie, when you, when you check out?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I really, know. I just, I'm down, I'm down for yeah, I'm down, I'm down for the ocean thing, but not the body. I'm down for my ashes in the ocean.

JP:

You wanna put your ashes in the ocean, that's where you're at.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yeah. Yeah. I'm good with that.

JP:

And so January once,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I don't want anybody to go through like the legalities. I want it to be really hush hush.

JP:

like, just not, don't say anything. Take you to Puerto Rico, drop in a waterfall. Nobody.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

And if it could be spread like throughout

JP:

Mm-hmm.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

oceans and different, that'd be

JP:

Oh. Split you up. So like, somebody's got, you gotta go on different missions to all corners of the earth.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yeah. I'm gonna get to work on that. Expedition, babe. You

JP:

yeah.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

have to make an itinerary. My

JP:

Exactly.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

itinerary.

JP:

gotta, like, what you gotta do is you gotta go back to the zip line and halfway through you gotta pull the rip cord. And they'd be like, did she fart? Nah, that's Natalie. Just like, poof.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh

JP:

that. I love that. Ashley, what do you want to have happen to you?

Ash:

I wanna be a tree.

JP:

You wanna be a tree?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

A tree.

JP:

I think, yeah. I think

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

plant a tree.

JP:

how are you gonna, what, what's your method for being a tree?

Ash:

Oh, I don't know. I haven't gone through that far.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Mad Max Osa?

JP:

I have How did that, like what, what are we, like what am I missing in that one?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

at the end where they talk about how they planted the mm-hmm.

JP:

Oh, I see. I think the two methods here actually are that you are in a pod and a tree grows from the pod, from your remains or that you're, that you're cremated and your ashes are mixed in with soil.

Ash:

I don't know how it, so I feel like cremation's the responsible thing to do because of space and time and like the space of the earth, right? Mm-hmm. Like how much room there is for everybody dying and whatnot. But man, that sounds really awful. Like what if your brain doesn't shut down when you die immediately? Like, what if there's, what if there's a gap?

JP:

Well, what kind of gap they give you a few days. They pump out all your fluids. I like, here's the thing if I wanna live on, if energy, if you can't destroy energy, like energy just exists. And I want to, and I want my energy to live on, the last thing I wanna do is be cremated then, because all your energy would just be turned into heat, which would then just evaporate into space, and you would just float off through the atmosphere and be gone forever. But if your energy, if you get buried without a casket and then your energy goes into the, goes back into the ground and other things live off of you and your your energy goes on to help other life forces become more sustainable, then that's a way of living on

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Mm-hmm.

JP:

mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Better than looking like a fart from a zip line. That's all I'm saying.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Wow, that was that.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Like we're comparing here.

JP:

No, we're not.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

made me the far

JP:

I, well, I was just, I just wanna know what assignment I get for, for spreading Natalie. That sounds, that's how we gotta slow that down

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

a plane?

JP:

from a plane. Like, I gotta go up in a plane. How am I gonna get it out the window? I'm gonna get arrested.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yeah, I.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

like hire private.

JP:

Private like a Sky Rider. Oh bro. We were at Hollywood, where were we at Hollywood Studios this weekend when we were leaving the park and the Gaza plane was flying over overhead. It was like

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

did it say?

JP:

when Gaza is under attack, something like that. And it was just like, I, so it was under my, I was under the impression that the airspace around Disney World was protected and you can't fly over it. Wow. This guy, he

Ash:

snuck through. Yeah,

JP:

he was white. He was right over top of the gate. Over by the skyliner.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

So

JP:

mean,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

it

JP:

tell you you're not allowed to

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

but like people just do

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

right.

JP:

ma.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

whether you decide to do it, and it's not like somebody can just turn the corner and get outta here. We

JP:

Well.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

January got me a private flight once we went up he, he requested, he, he wanted to take us like over Disney and he explained that it was, you know, the rules and he, he asked for you, you can ask for permission and it, and they'll grant it to you if, they're in a good mood,

JP:

Mm-hmm.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

or whatever the conditions may be. But he asked them, they, they shut it down. We didn't get to do it.

JP:

Yeah. Yeah, no, it's you imply over universal all you want. You know what, when, when you go on the carousel of progress,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

yeah,

JP:

do you think that that looks like Walt at all or is that a representation of Walt at all?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

the, the,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

The

JP:

The main guy? Yeah.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I like to

JP:

I thought like it's an impression. Yeah, that's what I thought. So I was like, why are people so upset about? And that's just going back to like,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

of him

JP:

yeah.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I don't know,

JP:

Is it because they're just out outright saying it now? Like, Hey, this is, this is designed to be Walt, this is gonna be a, a, a very detailed representation of Walt. And now we can start, we could start the urban legend like that is they used his brain matter to power it.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh, wow. Yes. That's great. I.

JP:

heard it here first. You heard it here first. Walt Disney's brain matter is what is powering the new animatronic ma

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Ooh,

JP:

They put a piece of him in it.

Ash:

What a wild time.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Where they do the, what is it called?

JP:

Nobody knows. Like the, the look on Natalie's face. Natalie's just like, I have no idea where this is going.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

The projections of

JP:

Ho Holograms. Holograms.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Thank you. Oh, thank you.

JP:

You're welcome. I try

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

old.

JP:

the, the overhead projector that's do like from school with the transparencies and they're just,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Show a picture to a kid these days and ask them what that is.

JP:

whoa. They don't even, the worst part about kids is get'em to sing the Mickey, we've gone over this before. Right. But get'em to sing the Mickey Mouse clubhouse song. Get you, you get your nephew to, to sing the Mickey Mouse clubhouse. How would you, do you know the Mickey Mouse song at all?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

No

JP:

M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E, right? That's how somebody around my age might sing it,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Uhhuh.

JP:

but the younger audience sings. Am I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yeah,

JP:

It is generational.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

that reminds me when they changed the alphabet song.

JP:

I heard they changed it, speaking of letters, you know what really pisses me off about the Disney World logo?

Ash:

That the D looks like a W

JP:

The D looks like a G. What do you mean? A w? Oh, that's what I meant.

Ash:

Sorry. Looks

JP:

like that's a weird ass. W you're looking at it.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Is

JP:

I,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

old English looking?

JP:

the, Disney,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Let me see.

JP:

the Disney logo. It looked, that used to bother me as a

Ash:

kid.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Disney logo or

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

No, it's the, it is how they signed it. It's the big ass G looking D.

JP:

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, why has nobody brought this to anyone's attention before? Like why is there a big ass G looking d at the front that bugs the, the heck outta me.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

It's

JP:

Just bit my tongue there a little bit. Dialed it back. Yeah. I don't, I, every time I look at it I see Disney and I, I don't understand how that's a DI don it looks like.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

it is a,

JP:

A

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

inspired

JP:

by a stylized version.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

of Walt's autograph and is a key element in the brand.

JP:

Oh, well they should change it. cause it, it's just

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

cursive anymore.

JP:

do, can you write in cursive?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh, I can write in cursive?

JP:

Okay. Ashley, can you write in cursive

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Cursive. Cursive is insane.

JP:

Yeah, Cursive. writing in cursive is, is difficult. I mean, I could probably still do it, but I feel like you, there's a bit of artistic license when writing in cursive. you know, you you don't always have to follow the, the guidelines, hence the G looking D

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Just do what

JP:

Yeah, yeah.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

that the Disney logo makes use of the

JP:

Golden ratio three

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

within

JP:

the beach. I see it. I definitely see it.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I love it.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

heard about the plane? Where did it go? But the plane in the jungle Cruise is the same plane in Casablanca, the

JP:

I didn't, I have not heard that.

Ash:

I've never seen Casa Longa. Huh?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Well, it is from 1942.

JP:

The movie or the plane.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

The movie and the plane in the movie would've been from then. Two.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Unless it

JP:

took,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

though.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

it's not true.

JP:

oh,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Mm-hmm.

JP:

that's what makes it an urban legend. Did you know I found this out the other day. There used, this is not an urban legend, but there was once a salt water pool. I can't remember if it was at Disney World or Disneyland, but one of the parks one of the water arrangements, you could go to a booth and get like flippers and a snorkel and snorkel with like actual sea life. And now there's like a, they filled, they just filled it in with sand and it's now like beach space. I.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

me of the waterpark they used to have like a little snorkeling feature.

JP:

That might, yeah, that's probably, we're probably talking about the same thing.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I found out more about the one way rider.

JP:

Castaway K at Lighthouse Point.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

It's the decapitated ghost on Space Mountain. A ghost named Mr. One Way, supposedly haunts Disneyland Space Mountain.

JP:

Oh, you were right

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

a man with red hair and a red face who rides the coaster with single riders and then banishes. Oh

JP:

into, into space on a mountain

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Terrifying. Terrifying.

JP:

dark. Yeah.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I don't want

JP:

Well, you all know he looks,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

with a ghost.

JP:

he looks realistic. You wouldn't know until you're done.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

God, yes, I

JP:

I.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

would need to know when I'm done. Not while it's happening,

JP:

Yeah, he's, he's not, he's clearly not sitting next to you being like, I'm a ghost boo.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

What if he's just

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

way.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Mm.

JP:

How do we feel about how do we feel? So how do we feel about these, the main urban legends here where

Ash:

they're all pretty gross.

JP:

They all sign around death. There's been a few. Do we have any like Hollywood Tower, tower of Terror?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I feel like maybe, but no.

JP:

Has anyone lost their life at animal Kingdom?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Like eaten by a tiger. Ooh,

JP:

Something like that. Like the bathrooms have rain. The bathrooms have doors on there for like escaped animals, right? Like if you, if there's like an outbreak or like, like a, somebody, like a jailbreak for the animals, whatcha talking about, you can go into the bathrooms and close the doors to only park with doors in the bathrooms.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Interesting.

JP:

What at Animal Kingdom, they have doors on their, on their bathrooms, but none of the other parks have doors.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

now I have to look and pay attention.

JP:

And they, like, they say, it's because in case like an animals get out, there's a place for you to retreat to and be safe.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Right.'cause in all the other parts

Ash:

I mean this,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

a,

Ash:

it's gonna be like a Titanic situation though. There's not enough bathrooms to support the people. If animals get out,

JP:

well, only a strong survive. You just gotta kneecap somebody and call chow

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

my

JP:

bait. You'll be fine. You can walk out. Then the, what do we know about about animal Kingdom's history with like the imaginary ant creatures, like unicorns and dragons, like they're, it's part of the, part of the park layout.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I

JP:

I haven't heard when you like, so I know there are, like, when you go into the park there's representations of the different animal types and one of'em is dragons. So like mythical creatures was supposed to be a thing there, and they just never, they never got it done,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Really.

JP:

you know?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

mean like the whole world is already make believe

JP:

Yeah. But like for the most part it's like very,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I mean, Kevin's a mythical creature.

JP:

yeah. So it was Pandora blue cat people,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

That's true.

JP:

but like, they were supposed to have a a at first there wasn't a whole bunch of IP there either. Right. And then there was like, like it's a bug life dinosaur. What is the the one on the mountain over there?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Tiana,

JP:

No, with the Yeti.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

oh,

Ash:

Mount Everest.

JP:

Yeah. So those aren't really like, they're, they're not really IP themed. Right. They're pretty generalized and they've just kind of themed out those lands, which I'm all for. I think you go to a theme park to be themed. Right. Themed the hell outta me. Put your, put your themes all up in me. I don't care. Right. I mean, that's, you go for the immersive experience. Right. I want to, I wish that I could have gone to the Star Wars Hotel.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh yeah.

JP:

That would've been amazing. That, I think that's what attracts me to, like some of the, some of the LARPing stuff or, you know, or bounding at the parks.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Interesting. How long did it last? even five years or something like that.

JP:

No,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

ridiculously

JP:

one, barely one. If it made it through, they, it was like, it opened and closed like so quickly.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

dang.

JP:

Wasn't even, didn't even have a chance. It just wasn't cost effective. It was like five grand for two nights, three nights for, for like a, a space cruise. People pay, people pay for a lot of stuff like that.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I mean, not enough for them to keep, stay open.

JP:

No, I mean, it was, it was like, it was, there was a lot of things that got out that went sideways. So you would enter you would drive up to like a, a Spaceport and get into you would load up in a queue and a door would open, you'd line that you'd give into a, like a van, like a space shuttle. Then you would be, and they would just drive you around the circles in a parking lot and then take you to like a show building and offload you. But like, people, people would see like the U-Haul van that you were driving around in and they would just like, ruin your experience by like honking at it or like, you know, it's like, oh yeah, I'm in a van, you know, kind of thing. But it, it's, that's a cruise I would do.'cause you don't go anywhere, but you can get like a, you can go to tu. And go into the park. That's one of the things you can do there. Shop around Batou. Which, you know, hot take, I'm gonna be honest here. I think Star Tours is a better ride than smugglers run

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Smuggle run the one we did together.

JP:

Yeah, that's the one we did as a group plus one.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Right? He wanted to hang out with us so bad.

JP:

Oh my God. He wanted, he was, he wished he was with us the rest of the day.

Ash:

It was the best part of his vacation for sure.

JP:

Oh my God. Yeah. He was like, Americans are silly,

Ash:

silly Goose. Do we know his name? No.

JP:

Did we take our picture with him?

Ash:

No,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

nah.

JP:

I thought we did. We didn't.

Ash:

Nope. Dang.

JP:

It would've been cool. Like his friends would've been like, who are they? And I'd be like, those are my space cowboys.

Ash:

There's no proof of that interaction.

JP:

I wish we, I definitely wish we had proof of that interaction for sure. Especially since we've ruined their account system.

Ash:

Bro, let me tell you. What a picture. Who knew? Who knew that they were gonna do that?

JP:

You didn't know they were keeping track of the ride that way.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I didn't know. I didn't know

JP:

I didn't know. Push, don't push those buttons. What were you saying, Ash?

Ash:

I was gonna tell them what a picture whore you've been since you got the magic maker picture thing. Whatever it's called.

JP:

It's fun when it's free. It's fun.

Ash:

It's not free.

JP:

Well, it's free. It's free. Now I'm trying to get my money's worth out of it.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

After the initial cost,

JP:

Yeah. I have to. Yeah. Line up. Take my picture. When he didn't gimme that basket of oranges to hold, I wanted to be like, fuck you dude. Gimme that orange.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

you could probably

Ash:

have

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

and he

Ash:

magic ruined

JP:

magic ruins. Yeah. I noticed they like do some add-ons too. Like there's we took our picture at ma on Main Street, USA and then like later on it's like Mickey holding us, holding it us up and with his hand in our, a photo of us with Mickey being held in the palm with Mickey's hand. We did get, we definitely like gave her like, pretend you're freezing. And then like, somewhere off in the background is Olaf, but it's like way off. It doesn't make sense today. The continuity of the photo is way is wrong. They're trying. Yeah. But it's cool. That's cool. We went to, we went to the butterfly garden. I did not kill any butterflies with,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yay.

JP:

the beards know. Yeah. Did you guys get your magnet yet?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

No,

JP:

Mm,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

You know it's funny, we were there at the resort and that's all we did. We just stayed at the resort.

Ash:

That sounds so nice.

JP:

Do we have any resort oriented urban legends?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Ooh.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I have some international ones.

Ash:

Ooh, let's hear that. Yeah.

JP:

Let me hear what's going on with those.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

So Tokyo Disneyland has curse construction.

JP:

Oh,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Scary.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Disneyland was built on sacred burial grounds

Ash:

mm,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

accidents happened during construction.

Ash:

we never learn.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh

JP:

Mm

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

say the park is spiritually unsettled.

JP:

Oh,

Ash:

poor Disney.

JP:

It is very terrifying. Like, you don't wanna, you don't want to get on a ride with a, a ghost, but spiritually unsettled.

Ash:

That's what, like, those are angry ghosts.

JP:

Yeah.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

stems from local Shinto and Buddhist burial site taboos.

JP:

That's wild.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

say similar rumors exist for many large Japanese construction projects,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Typical.

JP:

I mean, it's small, right? Like the, I it's an island, so

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

So

JP:

gotta be

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

to bury people that what

JP:

Correct. Yeah.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Hong Kong Disneyland, Hong Kong Disneyland is designed to appease spirits, including no sharp corners

JP:

Mm.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

feng shui to keep hungry ghosts away.

Ash:

That makes sense. I,

JP:

I didn't know that sharp corners was a thing that you had to look out for,

Ash:

for a ghost or for a spirit.

JP:

Yeah.

Ash:

I mean, but it's thoughtful of them.

JP:

No sharp corners. That is, that's wild to me. I. Like,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

So it's mostly true. Disney consulted Feng shui experts to align the park's entrance and pathways. eight is used often, and the opening date was chosen for good luck.

JP:

what was the opening date? Eight. 8 0 8.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh, and let me see, Hong Kong opening Disneyland Hong Kong opening date september 12th, 2005.

JP:

That's interesting that they were like, that's the luckiest day we could open and we wanna make a whole bunch of money, so let's use that date

Ash:

we have, nat, we have a, a mutual connection that's going to Disney, Tokyo. Oh God. And we're Jonathan was like, you need to ask her to bring me back some pennies. And I was like, well, fuck, you're right. I do need to ask her.

JP:

Like, I, I'm sure

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Such

JP:

only,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

ask too, you know.

JP:

the only side thing is like, I'm assuming that they have like some sort of pressed coin, but it's probably not Penny. Right. But I imagine it would just be like the equivalent of like a copper, a copper flight, but still,

Ash:

like how cool is that? Like if it, if she's able to bring something back like that.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

That'd

JP:

I imagine. Yeah, I imagine. I mean, they have'em in,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

here. We do quarters.

JP:

I, I mean, they do quarters here too.

Ash:

Yeah.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

just kidding, bro.

JP:

Oh. Yeah, no, I'm only interested in the copper stuff. It just, oh, I didn't

Ash:

specify that part.

JP:

I mean, I wouldn't tell her. No, just me. Just looks nicer. Yeah, just you, I just tell you. No, that's right. I'm trying to get this resin. I hope this still works when I'm done with it.

Ash:

$45 down dream.

JP:

Yeah.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Did you hear Cinderella Castle has a detention room?

JP:

Are the tension room

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yeah. Badly behaved. Kids are taken to a secret Disney jail

Ash:

that seems counterproductive.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Castle.

JP:

Is that legit?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

No,

JP:

No. Okay.

Ash:

Urban legend, sir.

JP:

Urban legend. Sorry. My bad. I forgot. We were

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

security holding area, but not in the castle.

JP:

interesting. interesting.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I, the, the Disney tunnels, you know, how like

JP:

I mean, there aren't there util doors.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Well, that's the thing, that's the utilities exist, but the, that's not what like the legends say, like they were supposed tunnels to, to an extent that, that, that that's not what they're

JP:

Like Catacombs.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

And there was

JP:

Catacombs.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

that supposedly there's a tunnel that goes, like, from the parking lot to look to like, Tom Sawer Island or something, or

JP:

wild. wild. Are there dead? Are there Like, go ahead.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

What is, what's your, everybody by the end of this episode has to make up their urban legend. would it be? So simmer on that.

JP:

Oh, what, what to

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

you this other one.

Ash:

hit me.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Walt Disney was a secret FBI informant.

JP:

He he was like he turned, he has a, he has a bit of a checkered past and he definitely made some accusations about people and communism during that time.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yes. So he was a special informant and shared names of suspected communists in the entertainment industry.

JP:

Mm-hmm. But that's factual as far as less, less urban, legendary, more factually based. He was Dick, he didn't, I mean, like, as everybody, he wasn't the, he wasn't the storybook character that everybody made him out to be. Right. I mean,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

my urban legend

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Ooh.

JP:

he, he didn't, he like, they, one of the urban legends is that they, the two finger point

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Uhhuh.

JP:

is just, that's him smoking a cigarette and they would just edit out the, the cigarette.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Wow, wow.

JP:

And

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

wow,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

That's crazy.

JP:

I see it. I don't think it's, I don't think it's factual at all. I mean,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

The

JP:

but

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

the sixties were

JP:

crazy. Yeah, definitely. What's your urban legend? What do you, what are you making up?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

So sometimes when you're on the Pirates of the Caribbean, you know the section where Johnny Depp is, sometimes he'll come into the park and he'll stand in.

JP:

Mm-hmm.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

So

JP:

he do that? Does does he do that?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

No. that's my religion.

JP:

Does your urban legend.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

made up right now. Good

JP:

Oh,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Good job. Jenny. Mary, did so well that we got

Ash:

got one.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

got one.

Ash:

Jonathan was sold.

JP:

My goodness, my goodness. Oh, I don't know. Let's see. Okay. If I was gonna, from creating an urban legend, Hmm. I would want it to be like, extremely fanciful. Fanciful and believable.'cause that's the thing, like it's gotta be believable too, right? Like, oh, let's see the, what's one of the oldest rides in the park?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh, it's small world.

JP:

It's a small world.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

what's the one that's, it's, so our Space Mountain is, is modeled after the one that they do outdoors. What do they call it? The logs,

JP:

The Matterhorn.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

The Matterhorn. I feel like, that's one of the oldest ones.

JP:

So like, oh yeah, there's probably some urban legend around like sticking your hands in the air on, on that.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I there was I, there was one that supposedly is like, hi. His hands, you

JP:

It just

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

off.

JP:

gone.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

dark. I can't

JP:

Right?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

it. I

JP:

don't trust it. I keep my hands down. I ain't, I ain't gonna lie.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

So,

JP:

The, if it were me, I would want it to be like, something real controversial, right? Like, the, like, oh, I'm trying not to get too controversial. Let's avoid slave labor. But Right. But like, like, you know, like, oh, somebody, somebody, like where was a place where somebody could die, but like, we could start like the whole Tom Sawyer Island thing. We're gonna get arrested and we can't do that. Nevermind. Maybe we'll keep it more lighthearted. What's like the horses on? Wait, there are no horses? Are there horses on the carousel?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yeah, they're all horses.

JP:

Yeah. Well,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

There's no other animal.

JP:

we could say that, that the horse is one of the horses. If you get, if you, oh, okay, here we go. If you, if you can find on the, on one of the carousel horses that survives is actually one of the original horses wooden hand carved wooden horses from his, the, the childhood fair that Walt used to go to. And it still exists on this ride. And if you can, if you take your picture with it, they say that you can oftentimes see like a halo of light behind that rider. And that's supposed to be Walt enjoying it with you.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I totally believe that shit. Which horse is it? I want my picture.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

He's, is, this is your made up. This is a

JP:

I love that we got each other. I love that we got each other.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I love it. I love it.

JP:

She's gonna go and look for that horse, Natalie. She's gonna look for that horse. You're gonna be stuck trying to ride every horse there. Now

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I

JP:

take, take my picture on this one. Is this the one

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

is it this one? and then we ask the,

JP:

like, the,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

be like, Hey, which horse is Walt gonna be in my picture on?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

and they're gonna be like, I'm sorry.

JP:

yeah.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

of Disney is all around us.

JP:

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Have a magical day. My goodness. Ash, you got any urban legend that you can make up for us?

Ash:

That there is a cult of worshipers of doll whip.

JP:

I mean, that's factual. Ashleigh, that's not even like, yeah, That's legit. You're married to one.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

you rubbed out just for like TA talking about it,

JP:

I like the Natalie went mafia on this. Yeah. Do you remember that problem we had on that podcast? We ain't got that problem no more. We took care of that boss.

Ash:

It's such a cult that they won't change, like, you know how normally things evolve, right? And that there are a multitude of flavors of things. Nope. The dull whip is just the dull whip forever. And occasionally they'll la a topping, but they will not change the recipe in any way, shape or form. It's kind of like that bitch with the butter beer.

JP:

Oh,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

not that

JP:

it's just, yeah. But like a dull whip is. Dole? No, not Disney. Says who dole.

Ash:

You think Disney doesn't have any control over it?

JP:

Yeah. Why do you It's it's other places.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Who owns doll

JP:

Dole.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yeah. He

JP:

That would be, that would probably, I bet you KKR.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

KKR, not

JP:

It's like one of, if you don't work for KKR these days, who do you work for?

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh,

Ash:

United Healthcare.

JP:

Ooh,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

He sold a 45 equity stake to total produce in 2021,

JP:

interesting.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Kansas City, Missouri.

JP:

I feel like Kansas, we're gonna go through Kansas City, Missouri, in, in like a week and a half

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

You're doing it.

JP:

on our way there. It's towards the end of the trip. Yeah, it was the world's first Elon Musk. Oh my gosh. Natalie, you got a, you got an urban legend. You wanna make up for us? Get fancy, get a whole nother, take us to a whole never level.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

hmm.

JP:

The heat is on.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

So you

JP:

You

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

about

JP:

do that. Your own question.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yeah, of

JP:

No.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I

JP:

Oh.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I still wasn't ready. Everybody's went So fast. I was, I was immersed in your, in your, legends Disney legends. Disney, the uls, if you will.

JP:

Mm-hmm. Yeah. I love it. Dolls like the doll whip.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

I would, mine, mine would be like probably simple. Something like, oh, you don't have to worry about leaving for after hour events. Just, Just, go through and ride the rides.

JP:

You heard about the, you heard about the kid who hid out in a bathroom

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

No.

JP:

Got onto, it's a small world and never got off because it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't shut off. It just keeps going around and around and they sing that song 24 7 and the kid got on it and he like fell off and the next boat ran him over the next day they found him dead.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

He's lying.

JP:

I'm totally lying. Although I think the song does go all day long. They don't shut that thing off.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

No,

JP:

To Google that. I think they, I think they leave it on.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

and you just hear it faintly in the background?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Terrifying. Oh my God.

JP:

I'm pretty sure it goes

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

are haunted?

JP:

Yeah,

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

doll in

JP:

that's, that's why I don't play around in it. It's a small world.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

on their own? Like

JP:

There's no animatronics there.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

they're supposed to be turned off?

JP:

Yeah. Zero animatronics. Yeah.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Terrifying.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

all of them were

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

my God.

JP:

Oh, yeah. They just accidentally move

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

imbued with. A child's spirit.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh my

JP:

from Peter Pan. From the Peter Pan. Right. Right across the street is Peter Pan. So They take the, the dead children's spirits that he's faring to Neverland are actually captured and place into the nesting dolls, known as the, it's a small world ride.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

oh my gosh,

JP:

Mm-hmm.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

this is so scary.

JP:

Yeah. Everything's dark at Disney. We should probably note that this is for parody and fun. Allegedly. Yeah. Sorry. Climate

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

purposes.

JP:

purposes. What is, what is our legal department?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

they have after hours, hours events is so they could

Ash:

Collect more souls.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Yeah.

JP:

Oh,

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

They can pray on, on souls.

JP:

dang. Just feeding. That's

Ash:

a good urban legend, dude. You just figured it out. Yeah,

JP:

they, we, they,

Ash:

I don't even think you realized what you just made there.

JP:

Speaking of which, have you seen the, the updated Jack skellington

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Jack.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Oh yeah, the,

JP:

Yeah.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

okay. That's cute.

JP:

Yeah.

january-raine_1_05-19-2025_185146:

People are very happy,

JP:

Yeah. Good job. Good job. Imagineers on that one for sure. has Disney created any tech, like accidentally created tech that, that we use in our modern world now.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Touch. I feel like, Disney created a touch, how you use your credit cards and it has a chip and you could just tap. I feel like,

JP:

Tap, tap, tap, tap.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Disney's been tapping years

JP:

They've been getting your money.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

For

JP:

Yeah. So you think is that your urban legend?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Disney meant to tap.

JP:

Yeah.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

No,

JP:

I like that.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

Ashley got it. Good job.

JP:

Nice. All right. Is that is this a good place to, to wrap it up? Any final thoughts on it?

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

We finally saw the beardies. They said, thank you for their prize. were the

JP:

They were. the champion.

nat_1_05-19-2025_185146:

of.
