Welcome back to another edition of the Disney Dish Podcast with Jim Hill.

It's me, Len Testa, and this is our show for the week of Schmer's Day, October 30th, 2023.

Happy birthday to my mom, Carol, who's always been like a mother to me,

and happy anniversary to Laurel, who's the love of my life.

On the show today, news, listener questions, and Universal asks how much you hate QR codes at restaurants.

Then in our main segment, Jim tells us all about behind the

scenes negotiations that go into limited time shows like Tiana's showboat

Jubilee which opened on this day in 2009. Let's get started by bringing in the man who says that, quote,

bandwidth issues is a perfectly valid reason for leaving a Zoom call

and you don't have to specify whether it's emotional bandwidth or, you know, the internet.

It's Mr. Jim Hill. Jim, how's it going? whether it's emotional bandwidth or you know the internet.

It's Mr Jim Hill.

Jim has it going.

It's going well, but you know again I'm always intrigued about the origin of words and

when something like bandwidth you know it's the effect of how early on

did this enter the lexicon and at any time did it involve a yardstick and the US

Trojans. Yeah, like, like, how much space does the, does the marching band actually need on a football field?

There are buses to consider football fields.

I mean, if you're, you're spelling giant letters on the field bandwidth is important.

You know it's kind of funny because if you didn't know English and you were trying to break down the definition of that word.

Bandwidth is a reasonable... I agree.

That's a portmanteau of, you know, of the two words, yeah, that makes sense.
