The Jungle

This week on The Jungle: Theres Palm Springs gig highs, a very weird hotel bar encounter in Seattle, and a Disney deep-dive that turns into “how much money are they making off Lightning Lanes?!” We go full Disney-nerd: David talks about the Disney Alumni Association winding down, Lightning Lane money talk, CEO chatter, and the one Smugglers Run fix that might actually save the Falcon. Plus: Winter Olympics bulges, Florida trip hype, and much much more!

It’s the middle of January and somehow it’s already been a year. 🌪️ This episode of The Jungle, we unpack Dr. Skipper’s Tosh Show appearance, dive into niche NYC sidewalk weirdness, and talk Disney—from Tomorrowland’s existential crisis to park hotel-hopping going into Tiki-a-Go-Go. 🌴🚎 Also: Magic Kingdom Skipper Stories, Ashland adventures, The attraction that might be Disneyland’s hardest to get signed off on, and much much more! 🎧 Listen now, everywhere pods are cast

We’re back from winter break and immediately making up for lost time. This episode is a full Jungle-style free-for-all: bizarre New Year’s Eve stories, childhood experiences that felt normal but absolutely weren’t, Disney decisions that make no sense, food opinions that feel legally actionable, and a few moments where we probably reveal too much about how our brains work. We talk NYE chaos from Disneyland to Washington, DC, weird algorithm rabbit holes, theme park history, abandoned Disney ideas, and why some things were never meant to survive Park Operations. There’s nostalgia, good times, and much much more The break is over. The Jungle is back open. Welcome to 2026.

Join the lads as they chat about: The Small World streaker, what rides they would streak on, Macy Thanksgiving conspiracies, Mickey and Minnies Runaway Railway, Sneaking into Nara Dreamland (an abandoned Disneyland clone), working in the parks during the holidays, why Anaheim doesn't have the Jingle Cruise but Florida does, and much much more.

“Life is chaos—but we’re doing all right.” From Halloween hangovers to Thanksgiving Turkey Explosions, Trevor & Dave dive into an oddly empty Disneyland visit, a Haunted Mansion Holiday that felt twice as fast, and a Star Tours ride-through that sparks the eternal question: why does a civilian shuttle have blasters? We swap Jungle Cruise safari stories (secret-shopper managers, Indy’s “King Kong doors”), mourn the death of free club soda taps, and so much more! Thanks to this episodes sponsor WDW Magazine.

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.

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.

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.
