We start off this week checking out Jerry Seinfeld on We Might Be Drunk with Mark Normand and Sam Morril. Seinfeld doesn't give AF while Mark and Sam nervously try to get him to say something, anything interesting. Aaron Imholte from Steel Toe missed the goal by $140 on Tuesday and tried to act like he wasn't upset about it. On Wednesday's show we find out he was very, very upset about it. Bill Burr has life figured out; he even knows how to have fun at Disneyland now. Amazing! Howard Stern announces three more years at SiriusXM. He claims his entire staff didn't know until he said it live on the air. If that's true that's pretty messed up. These are all adults who have financial obligations to their families. Why would Howard want to stress these people out right before the holidays? Opie announces that Thursday is “Ron Day” and that all superchat money will go to Ron the Waiter. We'll see about that. Miss Judy returns to Stuttering John's show and he's never been hornier or more hard-up. Megan and Annie join us for another round of “Is It Gay?”, the Opie or Burr game, and Cardiff's “To Poke A Dabbler.” We finish up with Spotify comments, reviews, and your voicemails.

This week, a look behind the scenes on how Disneyland transforms a land for the holidays, the new Magic Key calendar released, a popular attraction is getting it's first refurbishment, guests can send letters to Santa Cars in Cars Land, we talk about a little known version of Tomorrowland that never was, and more!

Howard Johnson – http://www.wyndhamhotels.com/hotels/01051?corporate_id=1000098677 News: The Disney Parks YouTube channel is at it again with a new glimpse behind the curtain to show what it takes to get Cars Land ready for the holidays. In the latest Disney Unscripted episode, they follow the crew that transforms the land from Halloween to Christmas overnight. From warehouse to park and all the work to get completed in one night before the guests show up in the morning, this video shows it all. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/cars-land-halloween-holiday-transformation/ Disney has posted the availability calendar for the new Explore Magic Key that we spoke about last episode. The new key will have extended availability in the summer, opening up a lot of days in June and July that the Enchant Key was blocked out for. There are some other dates that are blocked out on the new key, so take a look at the link in the show notes if you are interested in comparing. – https://disneyland.disney.go.com/passes/blockout-dates/ The standard refurbishment for Haunted Mansion after the holiday season has an end date. January 23rd will be the return of the classic Haunted Mansion variation. Also added to the refurbishment list for the first time is Star Wars Rise of the Resistance. It will enter refurbishment on January 20th, with no current return date. – https://www.micechat.com/428675-disneyland-news-construction-portos-rise-of-the-resistance-haunted-mansion/ Navigation around the park after nighttime spectaculars might be a little easier to see. New electronic signs have debuted that give guests directions on where to go to get to certain locations in the park. This replaces the cast members yelling directions, or the dimply lit handheld signs that were previously used. – https://www.micechat.com/428675-disneyland-news-construction-portos-rise-of-the-resistance-haunted-mansion/ A fun activity is available in Cars Land. Inside of Sarge's Surplus Hut, there is a display with a red mailbox. At this mailbox, you can write a letter to Santa Car. Mater will then take everyone's letters to Santa Car to the North Pole, along with his friend Lightning McQueen. – https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2025/12/14/confirmed-this-might-be-the-best-holiday-thing-you-can-do-in-a-disney-park/ A small version of “it's a small world” appeared on the Disneyland Instagram this week. The video showed off a model of the classic attraction in the park, in front of the full-sized attraction. The video goes on to show the creation of the miniature, which features 120 individual bushes, trees, and shrubs, and took over 200 hours to create. The miniature is on display in the small world toy shop. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-small-world-model/ As we reported last week, work has finally begun on the new Porto's location in Downtown Disney. Construction walls have gone up and encircle the ticket booths on the Disney California Adventure side of the west esplanade. This is a great sign of progress. Another area slow to redevelopment has been the old ESPN building, which now has signage up for lululemon! The old Tortilla Jo's location, which has been sitting stagnant since demo finished in the summer, is still happening, but waiting on permits with the city to continue. Construction here should hopefully resume soon. – https://www.micechat.com/428675-disneyland-news-construction-portos-rise-of-the-resistance-haunted-mansion/ SnackChat: Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill & Patio – https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/downtown-disney-district/jazz-kitchen-coastal-grill-patio/menus/ Discussion Topic: Tomorrowland Star Wars Retheme – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/disneyland-star-wars-retheme-concept-art-from-doug-chiang/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Real leaders. In the rain. Still celebrating. In this behind-the-scenes joy experiment, I take you to Disneyland with three of my closest friends—including one who witnessed the birth of the Joyosity book idea… from a raft. We talk about why celebration matters, why leaders resist it, how play actually works in real adult life (hint: it's not all spontaneous whimsy), and the real fear we have of joy. Sprinkled throughout: a Star Wars ride, soaked clothes, a debate about cringe, deep laughter, and research-backed insights you can use tomorrow. Here's What's in the Episode: 5:52 Celebration isn't extra—it's a strategic reset. Intentional celebration helps your brain overcome negativity bias and reinforces evidence that you can do hard things. Leaders need this more than they think. 8:27 Play is a productivity tool, not a luxury. Whether it's crafting, hiking, or joking with coworkers, play restores innovation, problem-solving, and emotional resilience. When leaders don't play, they get stuck. Literally. 17:11 Childlike ≠ childish. Childish behavior derails workplaces (tantrums, gossip, baby-talk politics). Childlike behavior brings curiosity, wonder, creativity, and openness to “what if?” — the soil where innovation grows. Key Takeaway Play, rest, and celebration aren't indulgences; they're performance tools that keep leaders (and teams) from getting stuck. About the Guests: A Quorum of the March Girls These women are real-life leaders throughout the country. Camille leads an area for a global nonprofit, Jen is a PhD science educator and program consultant, and Sarah is a pediatric occupational therapist with a neonatal specialty. The four of us, plus Lindsay a trainer to professional athletes, have been friends for more than 30 years. So this is the behind the scenes of real-life leaders celebrating at Disneyland. About the Host: Jenn Whitmer Jenn is an international keynote speaker, leadership consultant, and the founder of Joyosity™, helping leaders create positive, profitable cultures through connection, curiosity, and joy. With a background in communication, conflict resolution, and team dynamics, Jenn helps leaders and organizations navigate complex people challenges, reduce burnout, and build flourishing workplaces. Her insights have resonated with audiences worldwide, blending real-world leadership expertise, engaging storytelling, and a dash of humor to make the hard stuff easier. Whether on stage, in workshops, or with coaching clients, Jenn equips leaders with the tools they need to solve conflict, cultivate communication, and lead with purpose. Her book Joyosity and the Joyosity Works Playbooks hit shelves December 9, 2025, offering leaders a fresh approach to joy at work that builds real results. Resources & Links: Get Joyosity: Joyosity: How to Cultivate Intense Happiness in Work & Life (Even If Things Are What They Are) Joy isn't extra. Joy is how you thrive. This book gives leaders the tools to turn exhaustion into resilience and build cultures where work is a joy, people are whole, and organizations flourish. https://jennwhitmer.com/books Ready to Make a Plan: Joyosity™ Jumpstart → Get crystal clear on what you want, what's in the way, and how to move forward with traction. Starting the Journey: Enneagram Navigator → Stop guessing your type. In this 1:1 session, get clarity on your motivations and blind spots. Ready to Dive In: Joyosity™ Intensive → A one-day transformative experience to realign with your values and build a practical plan for joyful leadership. A Party for More: Bring Jenn & the Joy to Speak → Bring the spark (not just the spark notes!) to your whole team with contagious joy, practical tools, and plenty of laughter. Loved this episode? Rate, review, and share with a fellow leader who's ready to ditch the drama and lead with more joy, curiosity, and clarity.
Bright Suns! Throughout this year we have celebrated Disneyland's 70th Anniversary by looking at the nine lands of the park. And as the celebration continues in Anaheim, we continue our celebration here on Disney Insights. Today we look at Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. This is perfect because this land especially references the last three film series in the larger trilogy. This week Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out ten years ago into the movie theaters. So much of that film and the two others that fall after it tie into the Black Spire Outpost of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. We're going to relive the opening of this themed land at Disneyland, talk about the similarities and differences to its twin at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and then share with you my top 7 Easter egg-style references to Star Wars within this land. Join us as we celebrate Star Wars Galaxy's Edge on Disneyland's 70th anniversary. _______________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

In this episode, Kathy sits down with Christine Hollis, the Chief Talent and Diversity Officer at Marshall Gerstein & Borun — one of the top intellectual property law firms in the U.S. Christine brings a fresh, energetic perspective to the often-misunderstood world of patent law and STEM-driven legal careers.Together, they explore what intellectual property (IP) law really is, how STEM professionals are critical to patent work, and why careers like technical specialist, patent agent, and IP attorney can be incredibly dynamic, creative, and rewarding. Christine also opens up about her winding path from aspiring physician to industrial/organizational psychologist to talent leader in IP law.This conversation is uplifting, surprising, and packed with insights on innovation, communication skills, resilience, and the future of STEM in law.Topics We CoverWhat intellectual property (IP) law actually is — and what it isn'tHow scientists, engineers, and STEM grads power patent workThe differences between technical specialists, patent agents, and patent attorneysHow patent agents can take the patent bar without a law degreeWhat prosecution means in the patent worldHow to know when to contact a patent attorney about an ideaWhy communication skills matter as much as technical skillsDiversity in IP law and building a more inclusive STEM-to-law pipelineHow remote work has shifted resilience, social skills, and workplace cultureChristine's path from psychology to legal talent leadershipWhy patent law is “like Disneyland” for people who love innovationKey MessagesSTEM backgrounds are incredibly versatile. Engineers and scientists aren't limited to labs — they can build long, impactful careers in patent law and innovation strategy.You don't need a JD to work in patent law. Patent agents can draft and prosecute patents with only the patent bar + STEM expertise.Communication is a superpower. The ability to translate complex science into everyday language is essential everywhere — especially in IP.Career paths can be nonlinear and still land exactly where you belong. Christine's story is a great example.Humans need connection. Christine's insights on resilience, mental health, and post-pandemic social shifts apply far beyond law.About Our GuestChristine Hollis is the Chief Talent & Diversity Officer at Marshall Gerstein & Borun LLP in Chicago. She leads recruiting, professional development, DEI strategy, and organizational culture for a firm filled with engineers, scientists, and attorneys working at the forefront of innovation.

We're spending a full day exploring Universal's Epic Universe to see if it really does live up to the hype. From the moment you step into Celestial Park, it's clear this isn't just another theme park — it's a massive leap forward in immersive storytelling, ride technology, and atmosphere.We break down each world we explored, starting with Celestial Park and its stunning design, headlined by the thrilling Stardust Racers coaster. From there, we jump through portals into SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, where the colors pop, the energy is nonstop, and attractions like Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge and Mine-Cart Madness bring video games to life in a way we've never seen before.Next, we head into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, where the details are next-level. We talk about our days experience with the flagship attraction Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, plus Le Cirque Arcanus, a Cirque-style live show featuring magical creatures, aerial performances, and a story pulled straight from the Wizarding World.We also explore How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, covering rides like Hiccup's Wing Gliders and the live stage show The Untrainable Dragon, before ending in the darker, moodier Dark Universe, home to classic Universal Monsters and standout attractions like Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment.We share what surprised us most, what worked, what didn't, and where Epic Universe fits into the future of Universal Orlando. If you're planning a visit — or just want to know if it's worth the hype — this episode has you covered.

Christopher Gasti grew up in Orlando when WDW was being built and then wound up working at WDW, then Tokyo Disneyland, and ultimately at The Disneyland Resort. He did over 25 shows in the parks and did just as many parades and special events in cities including New York, LA, Toronto, Las Vegas, and Sao Paulo.These two fast friends wound up talking for quite some time and they didn't even come close to talking about everything Christopher has done for Disney! Also during the interview, the tables were turned on Scott a bunch of times!Their mutual friend and former podcast Guest, Lisa Leonard, introduced them to each other and Scott was so glad that she did! We know you're going to love hearing Christopher's stories about his time working for the Walt Disney Company as much as Scott did.

Storytelling through Life's Lowest PointsThe moment your voice catches and your chest tightens can feel like the end of your story. For Lauren, it became the beginning. After a postnatal mental health break that made everyday conversations feel impossible, she chose help—counseling, integrative care, and small, steady choices that made life breathable again. That path led her to study aromatherapy seriously, blend with intention, and build Essence One around a simple idea: one honest breath can change a day.We walk through the real climb. Early farmers markets and $30 days. A State Fair booth that forced a leap from “after hours” to full-time. National retail that looks shiny from the outside, and why the spa world—Waldorf Astoria, Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons—was the right fit because it could hold both story and experience. We get specific about missteps too, like the 150,000 bottles ordered on a verbal yes, and the contract lesson that followed. Throughout, Lauren keeps the claims grounded: aromatherapy doesn't cure anxiety or depression; it's a tool alongside therapy, medication, sleep, and movement that invites a deeper inhale when you need it most.This is also a family story. Hiring her husband. Opening a retail shop inside the Disneyland spa. Teaching teens to shrink-wrap, sell, and take pride in work. Noticing when “lazy” is really misalignment—too much caffeine, too little sleep—and drawing new boundaries. We talk about storytelling as strategy and service, supporting teen mental health clubs through Bring Change to Mind, and the quiet role of faith when anxiety spikes before cameras or sales calls: prayer, music, breath, repeat.If you're a mother building a business, or a founder craving less noise and more presence, this conversation offers practical strategies, honest tradeoffs, and a reminder to define your own success. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a calmer blueprint, and leave a review to help more moms find their breath and their path.Resources:Simon Sinek: https://simonsinek.com/Book: No Mud, No Lotus: The Art of Transforming SufferingConnect with Lauren:Website: Essence OneEmail: info@essenceone.lifeIG: @essenceonelifeTikTok: @essenceonelifeFacebook: Essence One LinkedIn: Lauren VanscoyContact the Host, Kelly Kirk: Email: info.ryh7@gmail.com Get Connected/Follow: The Hue Drop Newsletter: Subscribe Here IG: @ryh_pod & @thekelly.tanke.kirk Facebook: Reclaiming Your Hue Facebook Page CAKES Affiliate Link: KELLYKIRK Credits: Editor: Joseph Kirk Music: Kristofer Tanke Thanks for listening & cheers to Reclaiming Your Hue!

From pre-race jitters to finish-line tears, this episode takes you through every moment of Wine & Dine Weekend with honesty, humor, and heart. Holly and Laura completed their first Half Marathons, Kate returned triumphantly after beating cancer, and Samantha paced and cheered her crew every step of the way. Along the journey, the group explored Disney dining favorites old and new, had hilarious expo moments, conquered early-morning wake-ups (and one late one!), celebrated Laura's birthday in style, and shared the kind of emotional and uplifting stories that remind us exactly why we love this Disney running community. Whether you're a seasoned runDisney veteran or thinking about your first race, you'll find inspiration, laughter, and plenty of Disney foodie goodness in this one.

Would you know our names, if you heard season eleven? We sure hope so, because we say them a lot on this episode of Baconsale! We're ending this year by reminiscing about topics and sharing inside jokes as we reached 500 episodes and beyond. Joel (who wears a cap) and Kent & Zack (who look so handsome) accomplished some big things this year, including a Disneyland vacation, a road trip to see Weird Al, and a live recording in front of a studio audience, so that's going to be brought up a lot. However, we'll also give some insights about the podcast, offer behind-the-scenes trivia, get nostalgic, boop each other on the back, add lettuce, and offer up too many honorable mentions. Jammies!

We talk a lot about the power of gratitude—but if it's so good for us, why don't we live there all the time? In this episode, we explore the blocks to gratitude and what actually gets in the way of feeling it, even when there's so much to appreciate. Using a real moment from the day after Disneyland, we unpack how easy it is to slip into shame and self-criticism—and how gratitude isn't about bypassing the hard, but staying grounded in reality. We talk about how gratitude allows space for both the good and the hard to exist at the same time. Because when gratitude is embodied—not forced—it changes your energy, your perspective, and the way you show up in the world. Ready to do the work and go deeper in your own healing?

Send us a textWhat if your favorite Disney rides got a full holiday glow-up? We poured a Stroopwaffle bourbon coffee and went all-in on seasonal overlays, sketching out scene-by-scene makeovers that keep each attraction's DNA intact while layering in music, projections, scents, and plenty of festive chaos.First up, Space Mountain gets a “Santa's Galactic Delivery” sprint with sleigh-styled cars, poppy Christmas tracks timed to the lift, and rooftop chimney fly-bys racing past in the dark. Pirates of the Caribbean becomes a family holiday fever dream—relatives re-cast as pirates, cats in Santa hats, and a cheeky “Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Nog” soundtrack. Indiana Jones Adventure morphs into Eye of the Forbidden Nutcracker with toy soldier set pieces, Chip and Dale roasting chestnuts, a Santa-faced boulder, and snow effects that turn the dart room into a blizzard.We keep the momentum going with Autopia as a North Pole light drive—minimal changes, maximum magic—ideal for night rides under synchronized holiday lights. Expedition Everest reimagined as Expedition North Pole sets up a cozy Winter Wonderland climb that snaps into Sleigh Ride-speed mayhem with a Disco Santa Yeti. Toy Story Mania goes full Krampus Mania with playful, song-timed targets that make every pull hilariously mischievous. And because projections make quick work of seasonal swaps, Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway turns into a charming Christmas Eve dash: shopping traffic, Daisy's dance party, a last-minute Pluto gift run, and a calm cruise home with a Santa-bearded Chuby.If you love Disney parks, Jollywood Nights, and smart seasonal overlays that deliver fresh thrills without heavy downtime, this one's for you. Hit play, then tell us which ride deserves a holiday makeover and the song you'd score it with. Subscribe, share with your park buddies, and leave a review to help more Disney fans find the show. Cheers to Ears—and cheers to Christmas at the parks!

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comThis is a hot one! Pamela Paul — longtime editor of the New York Times Book Review, author of nine books, current writer-at-large for the Wall Street Journal — tells Nancy and Sarah about her unceremonious exit from the New York Times, where she had been an Opinion columnist. What happened? Well, it's a long and juicy story, one that includes a J.K. Rowling column, a “lot of dishonesty and fear,” and an email dispatched in the middle of the night, a story that caused Nancy's and Sarah's jaws to literally drop. (It's on video!) Paul joined the Opinion section in 2022 to “create space for liberal opinions that had been snuffed out,” the thorny topics most journalists in 2020 were afraid to write about — and might still be. “It's really unsettling when an Opinion section is afraid of opinions,” says Paul. “You cannot pretend culture out of existence.”Also discussed:* How were things inside the New York Times in 2020? “Really awful.”* George Will, 2014: “Victimhood [as] a coveted status that confers privileges.” NYT 2020: “Hold my beer.”* “You've lost the room…”* We are not finished talking about the defenestrations of Times' James Bennett, Bari Weiss, Donald McNeil Jr….* New York Times readers are smarter than we give them credit for.* Props for Jesse Singal, Michael Powell, whoever Pamela's editor was at Opinion, whose stand-up-ness makes Nancy tear up* “The truth is a motherfucker.”Plus, tasty bits in the hotbox: a Disneyland for Netflix grown-ups, the 1000-page book about revenge and justice you should be reading, a new old-skool medical drama, and much more!Aren't you tired of the paywall yet?
