Forever

Dog.

Warning, the following podcast may contain potato books, a relentless list.

Characters that your grandma kind of liked.

And big sandwiches for everyone.

All that, plus Marissa Strickland returns to talk about the short-lived

Islands of Adventure Show, Pandemonium Cartoon Circus, on today's podcast, The Ride.

The Ride. Welcome to Podcast the Ride, a podcast that is coming to phone, as opposed to the circus, which is coming to tune.

Oh, my goodness.

Here's my Carlson.

I knew he would have opinions on that.

Oh, my goodness.

Okay.

Yes, I'm Mike Carlson.

I'm here.

This is, I think, a hallmark of a Jason Shared intro.

He will drop a reference to the thing we're going to talk about, often obscure, often very confusing, and then throw a joke on top of it. A hat on a hat, and then there's like a tarp thrown over it or something. That's generally what we get with a Jason Shirt at joke. and he did not disappoint because he asked if I had something and I did, but I said, I'd like to hear what you have. And that's what we're doing. Can I hear what you had? It was just sort of a general. I guess now we have to do it. Yeah, I want to hear it. Well, I was going to be like, welcome to podcast the ride, a theme park podcast that would make a stranger ask, why did you choose that topic?

My like, welcome to Podcast the Ride, a theme park podcast that would make a stranger ask, why did you choose that topic? My name is Mike Carlson, right? Because that happened to me yesterday. I said something about having a podcast. That's how I made a living. And they were like, oh, well, what's it about? And I went, oh, it's about theme parks. And they were like, oh, how did you choose that topic? And it was that in the voice. I might be exaggerating a bit, but not too much. I could feel it that they were like, this is confusing. Why would you want to talk about that? So yours was a little more existential than just a lyric from a song. It was not a lyric from a song turned on its head, yeah. So that's okay. I mean, look, we have different strategies. That's what makes this podcast good. Everybody has a different strategy. We have different approaches. Different approaches. Scott Gierden are not here. He has a totally different approach than you and I. Yeah. It's so different than us. It just doesn't answer his phone. They don't respond to my e-mails anymore.

Yeah, you said we're recording and he said nothing.

Yeah.

But he would love to chime in, I think, on that joke.

Yeah.
