This week, Jim Hill is joined by special guest Ruben Bolling, the award-winning cartoonist behind Tom the Dancing Bug, while Len Testa is off cruising with a buffet (hopefully). From sweaty Brer Bear suits to Buzz Lightyear's chiropractor bills, Jim and Ruben explore the history—and hazards—of Disney character costumes. Plus, they dive into the future of Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, the legacy of Expedition Everest, and how Imagineers tell stories without saying a word. Costume Carnage – Why early walk-around characters were sweaty, heavy, and occasionally hazardous (spoiler: fiberglass and rebar were involved). Buzz Lightyear's Evolution – From the world's heaviest action figure costume to a full ride refresh coming soon to Magic Kingdom. Expedition Everest Turns 19 – A look at Animal Kingdom's mountain masterpiece and whether the Yeti might finally get his glow-up. Drone Shows Grounded – Following an incident in Orlando, all drone shows are on pause—but what does that mean for Disney's nighttime future? Pixar's 30th Anniversary in the Parks – New shows, character appearances (hello, Rex!), and nostalgic celebrations at Disneyland Resort. Visual Storytelling 101 – Jim and Ruben connect the dots between comics and Imagineering, from panel layouts to queue design. It's a theme park deep dive with a dash of satire and a nod to back problems. Tune in for stories, speculation, and the weirdly enduring smell of Muppet herring.

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater discusses (Whitetail Landscapes) various aspects of land management and hunting strategies, focusing on the benefits of honey locust trees in silvopasture systems. Joined by guest Austin Unruh (Trees for Graziers) and Thomas Mlsna (Untamed Ambition), they explore the ecological services provided by these trees, their nutritional value for wildlife, and practical applications for integrating them into hunting properties. The conversation emphasizes the importance of patience and strategic planning in land management to enhance hunting success. In this conversation, the group discusses the integration of trees in silvopasture systems, focusing on the benefits of various tree species, particularly mulberries, for wildlife and livestock. The discussion emphasizes the importance of effective tree protection methods, the role of tree gender in fruit production, and introduces his new tree nursery business aimed at providing high-quality trees for sustainable farming practices. Takeaways Maximize Your Hunt focuses on land management and hunting strategies. Winter severity can impact deer populations and habitat management. Silvopasture integrates trees into pasture systems for livestock and wildlife. Honey locust trees provide late-season food sources for deer. Dappled shade from honey locust benefits both livestock and wildlife. Honey locust pods are high in sugar and energy, crucial for winter nutrition. Designing landscapes with honey locust can create consistent deer movement. Patience is essential for seeing results in land management. Honey locust, Persimmon, Mulberry can be a valuable resource for bees and other wildlife. Understanding the ecological benefits of trees is key to effective land management. Five to eight years is a guideline for tree yield. Silvopasture integrates trees for shade and forage. Fiberglass stakes are durable and cost-effective. Mulberries provide high protein feed for wildlife. Tree protection is essential for successful growth. Growing trees above browse height reduces costs. Mulberry trees are resilient and easy to manage. Tree gender affects fruit and pod production. A new nursery focuses on silvopasture trees. Effective tree management enhances ecosystem benefits.   Social Links https://whitetaillandscapes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/whitetaillandscapes/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetail_landscapes/?hl=en https://www.theuntamedambition.com/ https://treesforgraziers.com/austin-unruh/ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the HVAC School Podcast, Bryan interviews Zach about duct coatings and their applications in HVAC systems, particularly focusing on the Hardcast RE500 product. The discussion delves into the importance of proper duct coating applications and their benefits for both contractors and customers. Zach, who has extensive experience in duct cleaning and restoration, shares his expertise on the proper application and benefits of duct coating systems. The conversation explores how modern ductboard comes with a clear coat that offers some protection, but additional coating can provide significant benefits, especially in high-velocity areas near equipment. They discuss how coating creates a smoother, more cleanable surface that's almost comparable to sheet metal in terms of friction resistance. Zach emphasizes that coating should only be applied after proper cleaning, as it's not meant to cover up dirty ducts but rather to protect and improve cleaned surfaces. A significant portion of the discussion centers around the practical applications for HVAC contractors, particularly during equipment changeouts. Bryan proposes the idea of coating the first 5-10 feet of ductwork near equipment during changeouts, as these areas experience the highest velocity and are most susceptible to fiber shedding and moisture issues. The conversation also addresses the cost-effectiveness of coating versus replacement, with the coating being approximately one-fourth to one-fifth the cost of replacement. Key Topics Covered: Hardcast RE500 duct coating product and its applications Benefits of duct coating, including reduced friction, fiber containment, and improved cleanability The importance of proper surface preparation before coating application Comparison between coated ductboard and sheet metal surfaces Drying and curing times for duct coatings The relationship between duct cleaning and coating services Cost comparison between coating and replacement Special considerations for coastal environments NADCA certification and training requirements The importance of proper application techniques and professional certification Health and safety considerations regarding fiberglass ductwork The role of duct coating in preventative maintenance Application methods, including airless sprayer and brush/bucket techniques Quality control and industry standards for duct coating   Learn more about NADCA at https://nadca.com/.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?
