Welcome back to another edition of the Disney dish podcast with Jim Hill. It's me, Lantesta,

and this is our show for the week of Schmer's Day, September 26, 2022. On the show today, news and listener questions.

Then in our main segment, Jim tells us about how the parks closed this week

back in 2004 ahead of Hurricane Jean. And that's from someone who's getting on a Disney wish.

Tomorrow, in the Caribbean with me.

Way to tempt the gods.

What could possibly go wrong, Jim?

Let's get started by bringing in the man who says that when people tell you to use your brain

respond with, you mean the brain that tells me to touch a cactus every time I see one?

It's Mr. Jim Hill. Jim, how's it going?

And why do somebody people have succulents?

It's like literally, oh, meet my wonderful pet porcupine.

It's true, and it is the thing where it's like, is this a hard spike?

Is it a soft spike?

And some of those cactuses have spikes that actually detach and stick in your skin, but you don't know, Jim, until you touch.

Learn by doing, that's what I always say.

There we go, and that's why I can't use my left hand.

It's fine, it's fine, it's fine. All right, let's do a quick shout out to subscribers

over at Disneyish.bandcamp.com. Thanks to new subscribers Chris Miller,

Scott Walker 88, J.S. Bell 4, and J.S. Bell 4, and the longtime subscribers, Mentzella, Thomas Reed Wiley, and

McEella Sanday, all subscribers since 2015.

I didn't think Jim, the Catholic Church, prescribed pen penances that long but here we are.
