0:00.0	Welcome back to another edition of the Disney Dish podcast with Jim Hill. It's me, Lentesta.
0:05.1	And this is our show for the week of Schmer's Day, December 30th, 2024. Happy New Year, everyone.
0:10.5	On the show today, news, surveys, listener questions, and a new Disney patent for a ride system we've not seen before.
0:17.7	Then in our main segment, Jim finishes up the history of Disney's Riviera
0:21.5	Resort. Let's get started by bringing in the man whose New Year's resolutions involve him
0:26.0	waking up with the discipline and ability to make good choices. He's not shown even once in his

1:24.2	Is nutrition that hard really?
1:26.5	Yeah.
1:27.9	Well, just to be fair here, we were talking pre-gaming, and you were talking about, for example, on Christmas Eve, you went out for sushi.
