We're going completely off script—no notes, no prep, just pure pizza passion! Join us as we improv our way through our top five places to grab a slice (or a whole pie) at Walt Disney World, based on a mix of taste, value, portion size, and accessibility. We're not talking about a fancy food review with technical terms or culinary critiques—we're talking about where we actually want to eat pizza while roaming the parks and resorts.We also break down why the best pizza doesn't always come from the best pizza place, and how certain locations may surprise you with better value or more convenience than you'd expect. Whether it's a quick slice in the middle of a busy day, or a sit-down experience that satisfies every craving, we'll debate what makes each spot worth visiting—and where you might want to pass.So if you're craving that cheesy, saucy goodness on your next Disney trip, this episode serves up our hot takes in real time, crust and all. Grab a napkin, loosen that waistband, and get ready for a flavorful, freewheeling conversation about Disney pizza.MEI-Travel – Expertise. Ease.

This week, we kick things off with the return of Space Karen's meltdown tour: Elon Musk got flustered in an interview, sputtered out one-word answers, and called the journalist an “NPC,” which is rich coming from the guy whose only real upgrade since PayPal is yelling “freedom” in meme fonts. Meanwhile, 23andMe sold your DNA to Regeneron at a bankruptcy auction, proving once and for all that your spit is more valuable than most tech startups.IN THE NEWS is a parade of corporate idiocy and dystopian fuckery. Coinbase employees got bribed into leaking user data (because clearly we didn't have enough crypto chaos), Klarna keeps flip-flopping between AI and human workers like it's a bad Tinder date, and OpenAI is out here buying Jony Ive's design firm for $6.5 billion because sure, what's another billion when you're trying to build a surveillance device to stalk 100 million users? Meanwhile, the Chicago Sun-Times is publishing AI-generated trash with imaginary authors, Anthropic's new model attempts blackmail, and researchers dumped two billion Discord messages online just for kicks. And yes, Elon's Tesla robotaxis will now only roam the safest parts of Austin, which is code for “we still can't make this thing turn left.”In MEDIA CANDY, we're watching Murderbot, Godfather of Harlem, and Hotel Cocaine because who doesn't love a little synthetic assassin, crime drama, and coke-fueled nostalgia? Notepad.exe now writes for you (and probably files HR complaints too), and Audible is teaming up with publishers to replace narrators with robot voices. Yay, progress. Over in THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, Bittner brings the malware, monsters, and a new theme park review that's somehow less terrifying than the news.

Trevor Newlin is a Los Angeles based suit actor most notable for his role as the Xenomorph in Alien Romulus. Trevor first discovered his love for theatre while still in high school growing up in Texas. After graduating he went to college for theatre before eventually attending film school in Los Angeles. His initial goal was to get into voice acting, but while he was still in school his professor recommended that he consider suit acting instead due to his unusually tall (6 foot 7 inches) and slender build. Peaking his curiosity Trevor reached out to the legendary suit actor Doug Jones through a simple DM on Instagram and miraculously Doug responded and agreed to a meeting that turned into a conversation lasting over 3 hours long. Taking Doug's advice Trevor found himself meeting make up artists and participating in Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. Things snowballed from there and he has since acted in international ad campaigns for Amazon, been featured in trailers for American Horror Story, wore a Wookie suit in Disney's Mandalorian 2, became a monster in Smile 2, and played his most iconic role of the Xenomorph in Alien Romulus. In this episode we discuss a shared love for thePackers, hosting a podcast during the pandemic, meeting the team at Legacy Effects, becoming the Amazon Yeti, working on the set of Star Wars, taking arguably the most iconic creature role ever for Alien Romulus, and much more.

We kick things off by blasting into Hyperspace Mountain and conquering the classic Matterhorn Bobsleds before fueling up with a legendary Disneyland breakfast chimichanga from Ship to Shore Marketplace.Our Downtown Disney detour leads to a shopping spree and a wild bite of the viral Pickle Corn Dog at Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. Then it's back to Ballast Point for a midday refresh before diving deep into Disneyland's Food & Wine Festival. We break down standout dishes like the sirloin Gruyère mac, musubi fried rice, and spicy shrimp papas locas, plus sweet and savory hits from Peppers Cali-Ente and Golden Dreams.After that, it's off to Lamplight Lounge for drinks, bites, and a much-needed break—including the fan-favorite 2319 mocktail and loaded potato skins. The evening shifts to lounge hopping with stops at Broken Spell and Trader Sam's, where we try tiki cocktails, pork gyoza, and poke bowls.We hop aboard the Disneyland Monorail back to Tomorrowland, soak up the nighttime magic with popcorn, Dapper Dans, and shopping, and then wrap up with a Blue Bayou dinner—complete with crab cakes, filet mignon, and a refreshing mint julep. Before calling it a night, we experience Mickey's Mic Magic, and we hit Radiator Springs Racers, Jungle Cruise, and Haunted Mansion, before reflecting on the highlights of our entire Disneyland trip.If you've been following along, don't miss this big finish—and if you haven't, go back and catch Days 1–3 to hear the full magic unfold!MEI-Travel – Expertise.
