fyiapod.com is where our merch story is but all that to be said thank you for for joining us, Josh. It's nice to have you here. Thanks for having me, guys. I'm excited to be a part of this. Now, we've already had a couple of your pals on the show. We've had Tim and Lauren. I'm sure they've told you what kind of torturous experience this. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, well, like you said, Lauren, I've had long

discussions with about it because I love Lauren. Tim, I can't stand. Um, so I didn't really talk to him about it. But as long as this one, I'm hoping this one gets more views than him and I'll be happy, you know? I mean, the attraction, I think, is a better attraction. Uh, so you already have that going for you. And I guess that kind of leads me into my next part here, which is when we have our guests come on the show, we usually ask them to list a couple rides that they'd like to cover and then we could choose from there. So why Expedition Everest? It's just my favorite. It's my favorite Walt Disney World attraction. It might be my, it's probably my favorite Disney attraction across the board with all things considered. so when we like say it, now granted, I've only been to Disney World and Disneyland. I haven't been to any of the parks overseas. But overall, the whole shebang, which we'll talk about all of it, it's probably up there is my favorite. In terms of coasters, it's the, it's better than anything overseas. I'll tell you that. I haven't been to Shanghai, though. Well, no, because they're only, like, legitimate coasters. It's Tron. Yeah. So, I mean, I think internationally, the only thing I could think of that competes with this one, at least in regards to thrills, is, uh, journey. Is Space Mountain at Paris? Oh, yeah, Space Mountain at Paris is pretty good. It's kind of stuck in hyperspace Imagine right now. Their Thunder Mountain also kicks ass But I'd say I guess like a coaster

Coaster. Oh yeah, Space Mountain in Paris is pretty good. It's kind of stuck in Hyper Space Mansion right now.

Their Thunder Mountain also kicks ass, but I'd say, I guess, like, a coaster. I'd say, you know, you got Space Mountain in Paris, and then you got Everest. By the way, Byron is this show's resident enthusiast, or as you don't refer to yourself as a thusie, though, do you? I mean, I think

by technicality, yes,

but I feel like there's, there's, let's go with the term thusy. I think there's so many more thusies out there that know so much more than I do. I'm like, I'm a thusie by default. Just by the way you said that you picked up your coffee coming, you all by technicality. Yeah, my coffee cup with water in it.

Like you were fucking Oppenheimer.

It's so good.

I'm a coaster man.

He's, he's a coaster man through and through.

Yeah, I enjoy them.
