No one told me life was going to be this way. First up, Jim invites guests to experience a live fire exercise known as <strong><em>The One Where We Kill Ross</em></strong>, wherein our sad sad boy has cloned himself and is hell bent on world domination. Only a bus and some guns can stop me. Then, Scottye takes guests into the apartment for <strong><em>The One Where We Learn The Truth About Ross</em></strong>, because F--- Ross is what we are saying.

Scottye takes a spin. 34:55 yes <p>This week, we begin with some discussions about Epcot's recent night time changes, and then segue into Scottye's new podcast-within-a-podcast <em>Intoxications: Reflections Of Puke</em> (I'm sure it's a working title), all about really bad times in the Happiest Place On Earth. That out of the way, we turn to giving our Epic Universe some gritty attractions based on other more famous attractions. First, Jim invites guests to visit the Big Apple on <em><strong>The Concrete Jungle Cruise</strong></em>, featuring minutes upon minutes of lame jokes and naked hobos. It's fun for the whole family! Then, Scottye heads back in time (???) as he joins Commandeer Buzz on a campaign to crush the evil Adolf Von Zurg and save the so-called "illegal" aliens from a life of internment. This seems perfect for the new vision of Tomorrowland.

Jim plays brass. 32:22 yes <p>This week, after some bird-as-janitor watching somewhere in France, we get handed some random names with which to create attractions and neither of us really follows the rules. First up, Jim takes the name given to him last week and throws it out the window, instead finding a new random name - <em><strong>The Brass Knuckle</strong></em>, and decides on hiring a steampunk security gaurd to fill the name and, predictably, go haywire in order to be shut down by guests. Meanwhile, Scottye takes his name and throws it out a separate but mostly similar window and then...doesn't really give his attraction a name. THE GUESTS DECIDE! Also, guests also decide which of five attractions they get to experience in this massive show building by just how drunk they are! Featuring everything from KISS to kaiju and all the way down to happy little trees (and ZZZZs), this place has everything a discerning drinker might want. </p> <p>Remember to tune in next week for our season finale where we both try to lay out our parks into something cohesive and beautiful! </p> This week, after some bird-as-janitor watching somewhere in France, we get handed some random names with which to create attractions and neither of us really follows the rules.
