The Jungle

This week on The Jungle: Theres Palm Springs gig highs, a very weird hotel bar encounter in Seattle, and a Disney deep-dive that turns into “how much money are they making off Lightning Lanes?!”

We go full Disney-nerd: David talks about the Disney Alumni Association winding down, Lightning Lane money talk, CEO chatter, and the one Smugglers Run fix that might actually save the Falcon.

Plus: Winter Olympics bulges, Florida trip hype, ...

It’s the middle of January and somehow it’s already been a year. 🌪️

This episode of The Jungle, we unpack Dr. Skipper’s Tosh Show appearance, dive into niche NYC sidewalk weirdness, and talk Disney—from Tomorrowland’s existential crisis to park hotel-hopping going into Tiki-a-Go-Go. 🌴🚎

Also: Magic Kingdom Skipper Stories, Ashland adventures, The attraction that might be Disneyland’s hardest to get signed off on, and much much more...

We’re back from winter break and immediately making up for lost time.

This episode is a full Jungle-style free-for-all: bizarre New Year’s Eve stories, childhood experiences that felt normal but absolutely weren’t, Disney decisions that make no sense, food opinions that feel legally actionable, and a few moments where we probably reveal too much about how our brains work.

We talk NYE chaos from Disneyland to Washington, DC, weird alg...

“Life is chaos—but we’re doing all right.” From Halloween hangovers to Thanksgiving Turkey Explosions, Trevor & Dave dive into an oddly empty Disneyland visit, a Haunted Mansion Holiday that felt twice as fast, and a Star Tours ride-through that sparks the eternal question: why does a civilian shuttle have blasters? We swap Jungle Cruise safari stories (secret-shopper managers, Indy’s “King Kong doors”), mourn the death of free...

Trevor and David are back with another wild ride of an episode—starting with  "Wait-Times” for your desk (yes, really), and ending with the legend of Jerry the Chimp from a pre-Disneyland “The Jungle” in Anaheim. Along the way, they unpack some wild plans for WestCOT Center, and the Queen Mary’s slow-motion sink into chaos.

There’s Tiki-a-Go-Go hype, Haunted Mansion trivia that’ll melt your Doom Buggy-loving mind, Mermaid brain...

Trevor and David return to the mic for a wild ride through the Disney multiverse of mayhem.

This week’s episode cruises from a retirement-home Sinatra serenade to the “officially unofficial” Anaheim Halloween Parade broadcast. Along the way, the guys rant about how Disney turned witty skipper improv into Dadventureland, reminisce about Universal Studios’ weirdest theme park moments, and debate whether Walt’s Apartment or Tarzan’s Tr...

Three years in and somehow we’re getting weirder, in the best way. We kick off with Taco Bell’s Y2K menu (double down on the double-decker), a Furby that will not die, and Jess’s spooky-cool “Bottle-yaga” for Knott’s Into the Fog. David returns from a cross-country odyssey (Marceline pilgrim badge unlocked) plus an Angels Flight joyride and a spicy modern-art rant (banana, meet wall). We swap EPCOT lore from the man behind “Drinkin...

The lads welcome special guest Tim Kelly this episode for a whirlwind of Disneyland in the ’70s, from speeding Casey Jr. trains and Skyway shenanigans to fireworks misfires and Tinker Bell crash landings. Tim also dives into his days as a pitcher, scout, and coach with the Dodgers and Angels — including unforgettable moments at Dodgers Fantasy Camp with Joe Walsh of the Eagles, stories of big-band nights at the park, and Michael Ei...

The lads return with a tiki-fueled tales of: summer brain fog, terrifying theme park rides, and a very unexpected encounter at Vegas’ Golden Tiki. They dive into the new Walt Disney animatronic at Disneyland—does it honor the man or haunt your dreams? (he has a pillow for that). Plus: a punk rock museum detour, brutal tiki bar opinions (sorry, Palm Springs), and how Jungle Cruise jokes still come in handy at Costco. If you love Dis...

Trevor and Dave are back—one with a busted back, the other with a knee brace—and things quickly spiral from aches and pains into a galaxy of chaos. This episode covers everything from Tiki to robot Walt Disney, and Spielberg’s legendary theme park hustle.

They dive into Andor and the tonal whiplash of A New Hope, but that's just the beginning. You’ll also hear:

• Tiki Oasis announcements
•  🤖 Robot Walt & the uncanny valley
•  ...

Join the lads as they discuss:  BBQ in gas stations, hungover grading sessions, and accidentally stalking Walt Disney’s old houses. Jess makes a noble Mario Kart sacrifice at a brewery where a live jazz band plays the soundtrack in real-time.

They also pay tribute to Brian Wilson, break down Disney films badly and dive into early Walt Disney history—including a visit to the legendary Laugh-O-Gram Studio and Walt’s last Kansas City h...

From baby river ducks to self-driving taxis and forgotten E.T. subplots, this episode takes more twists than the Nile.

Join the lads as they dive into:

• Ancestry.com rabbit holes (spoiler: everyone was a farmer)
• Tiki Room bathrooms 
• Groucho Marx’s swingin' grave neighbor
• The lost subplot where E.T. tries to date Elliot’s mom (no, really)
• Disney break room mis-haps
• A Disney movie ending that no social worker signed off on
• Philosophi...

This episode, the lads tackle: College finals, Three theme parks in one month, the painful realization that Knott’s Berry Farm might actually be Earth’s closest point to the sun, and much more.

Along the way:

• Universal Fan Fest may have out-Disneyed Disney.
• The Macarena beats out John Williams for the first time ever.
• Meeting C-3PO in person absolutely undoes years of childhood trauma. Almost.

It’s Heat Islands, Hill Valleys. a...

This week, we sip from the Holy Grail (okay, it’s a Japanese beer cup), explore theme park trauma (Universal’s nut-busting coaster design, we’re looking at you), and go deep on cursed objects—like the time Post Malone got possibly haunted via shoulder contact.
 We also ride the Hogwarts Express, review Hagrid’s rollercoaster, debate who really deserves the Millennium Falcon pilot seat, and relive Disneyland ghost stories involv...

So, funny story, Dr. Skipper and I recorded a real fun episode and when i went to edit it, I found i didn't select our microphones! So no useable audio was recorded. Rookie move on my part. But all is not lost! We didn't want to leave you hip skips and shriners empty-handed. So we're releasing edited audio from last years Hot Ones hot sauce challenge as todays episode. Listen to Jesstasmic ask us  awesome Patreon sup...
