24 July 2026, 9:00 am - 1 hour 55 minutesMac Tonight with Mike Scollins
For a brief period in the 1980s, McDonald's used a jazz singer with a talking moon for a head to promote the idea of eating hamburgers at night. It worked!
Despite only appearing for a short time, this suave moon man still lives in the hearts of many adult podcasters. Mike Scollins (Late Night with Seth Meyers) returns to PTR to share in the general fondness for our good pal Mac.

There was a Mister Rogers ride at Pittsburgh's Idlewild Park for over two decades! Whoa!

Bluey makes her Disneyland debut! And it's on the very stage that once hosted Videopolis. It's nice to see it's still a place for dancing, even if the average age has gone from 22 to 2.

19 June 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 28 minutesRock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets*
At Disney's Hollywood Studios, the stars of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster have been replaced. Aerosmith is out. The Muppets are in. To one of our hosts, this was a catastrophic mistake. To the other hosts—and maybe the public at large—it was mostly a good idea.
Who's right? We'll definitively answer that question by the end of this podcast!
*We have not actually ridden the ride. However, thanks to our finely tuned theme park assessment skills, we're confident we can determine its quality from a copious amount of opening-day footage.

12 June 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 53 minutesSomehow, Galaxy’s Edge Returned with Todd Martens
Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge is going through some, uh, changes. It’s not aging—it’s de-aging. Part of the land is going back in time, while part of the land is staying the same. This is normal stuff for a massive, multi-million-dollar IP-based theme park land entering its seventh year on planet Earth. It’s nothing to worry about.
Todd Martens (LA Times) is here to answer any of the tough questions we have about the process!

5 June 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 43 minutesUnlocked: The Michael Graves Causeway (Scott's Birthday Shot)
Scott just turned 40 years old. What says 40 more than a quiet, attraction-free path that connects two outstandingly dated Disney World hotels?
Is it too late to ask for separate Swan-and-Dolphin-shaped cakes, connected by a marzipan causeway?

2000s Nicktoon icon Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius once starred in a ride at Universal Studios Hollywood, right where Despicable Me Minion Mayhem sits today. Other classic Nicktoons pop up too. The graphics were bad.
But hey, Henry Gilbert (Talking Simpsons) returns to talk inventor boys, weird early-2000s CGI, and some fun Japan theme park stuff!

Are you old like us? Do you remember the feeling of walking into a Disney Store? Magic was real, and somehow it existed right between a Waldenbooks and a Mrs. Fields cookie store.
