Welcome to a very special Rope Drop Radio because for five years, Derek and Doug here have

been talking all things Disney. Doug,

we have hit half a decade. My gosh, we've gotten so old. So old. So many things have changed.

Life is so different now. Who would have thought five years ago when we recorded our first

episode that we would be here still today doing

this probably no one that listened to the first episode yeah they're like hey this is going to be

for three months and they're going to burn out so many disney podcasts do do that though it's a it's

it's a it's a lot every week we haven't missed a week we have had a couple late yeah that's because it's technical

issues only yeah Derek you even recorded a show after callum was born same day same day

calum was born i i didn't record much i gave an intro post recorded and then left in fact

i should relisten to i think alex was on that one every now and then on. In fact, I should re-listen to it. I think Alex was on that one.
