Ep 597 - The Next Disney Parks Leader + We Play "Best Park to..."

·1 hr 8 min·4 clips
Jared and Jamie start with a familiar check-in and a bit of tech frustration. It feels like two people who know each other well enough to keep the conversation moving while the day gets sorted out. The show then turns to theme park news. One update is the Buzz Lightyear ride, which they say is set to reopen with some Easter eggs tied to the newer Buzz Lightyear version and Toy Story 5. They sound pretty convinced the ride will be better after the changes. Jamie does not hold back about the old shooting system. Jared agrees that the current version was frustrating and says the refresh could only help. After the news, they pivot to a segment called "Best Park 2," or "Best Park to...". Jamie explains that the game is about picking which park is best for specific little activities. The examples stay intentionally low-stakes and a little ridiculous, like laying on the grass and looking at the sky. Jared plays along and jokes about the idea of bringing a book to a theme park. He also teases the notion that reading for hours at a park is not exactly the usual vacation move. The conversation stays light and familiar. It is less about proving a point and more about swapping reactions the way park fans do when they are comfortable together. That makes the news feel approachable and the game feel like a real hangout topic instead of a bit. The episode keeps moving briskly. It gives listeners a mix of park updates, opinion, and a small dose of silliness. The whole thing lands like a casual theme-park conversation that knows its audience well.
