  • Funny and Informative

    Podcast: The Ride has shown me that there are plenty of functional moderately successful adults who enjoy theme parks. They make jokes while providing insight and education. Where else can you find 4 people in a room knowledge about Kitchen Kabaret.

  • Good boys are the best boys

    I was sent here by the sector keeper. He came to me in a dream. These podcast hosts have sold their souls to City Walk for a couple fake celebrity driver’s licenses and will continue to frequent the mall on the hill until the end of time.

    And I’m here for it.

I did one before this that I did not do well at, but I would be open to trying another one.

Eisner humorously deflected the question, mentioning that he must have been on psychedelic drugs and acknowledged that nobody has been worse than him.
