Scottye spits fire. 35:46 yes <p>This week, it's all about everyone's favorite dragon and his unfavorite attraction, Journey Into Your Imagination With Figment. After a brief history lesson, Jim brings to the table an attraction to both shame and celebrate the rest of Future World as he mocks as many attractions as possible before a grand (and miraculous) reveal. Then, Scottye misremembers the closing of the original attraction in 1998 as "sometime in the 90s" and makes even the Carousel Of Progress seem timely as he introduces the world to MC Fig (and his dope, dope rhymes). </p> <p><em>Note: There is at least some chance there will be no episode next week due to Scottye being trapped in a maternity ward.

It's like the podcast gods heard we were making cheap knock-offs and decided the sound had to be like that too. Anyway, after some talk about digging in Diggerland, Jim and Scottye set forth back into the Pirate Bay to showcase their very own cheap knock-off attractions. Scottye does what he does best and immediately involves Keanu Reeves, among other celebrities, while Jim travels deep into the mind of a drug-addled hobo. Wasn't he supposed to be the reserved one in this group? </p> <p>Only one episode left until we decide what stays and what goes in VISTA, so keep on listening!
